Pickpockets lurk in crowds
Thursday - 6/16/2011, 12:32pm EDT
As you plan your summer travel, remember that the loss of your personal valuables can ruin your vacation.
Friends recently returned from Paris and both were victims of pickpockets. His wallet was lifted from his pocket while on the subway. Her wallet was taken out of her purse when they were on the train. In both cases, they were in crowded areas where it was difficult to avoid people bumping into them.
The safest procedure is to carry your valuables in a money belt under your clothes. But for some people this is not acceptable, so there are other precautions you can take. A man should wrap a rubber band around his wallet because it produces friction and makes it difficult for a thief to slide it out of a pocket. Also, don't carry your wallet in your hip pocket.
A woman should carry a zippered bag over the shoulder and under the upper arm, and keep a firm grip on it.

This week's cover story [1] by Joey Plaster presents a perfect opportunity to showcase another example of the rise and fall of Polk Gulch and hustlerdom -- Blaine Dixon's Polk Gulch [2] (Blurb, 144 pages, $49.95), a semi-self-published collection of photos of life on one of San Francisco's most storied streets.
Dixon's black-and-white eye is a West Coast counterpart to the Times Square views of Larry [3] Clark [4] and Gary Lee Boas [5], and the book's final contemporary color section is packed with wise irony. Polk Gulch may not be what it once was, but Polk Gulch proves small publishing is still spirited, intelligent, and surprising.

East Haddam Things to Do
There's not really much to see here but it's worth a small time exploring downtown East Haddam. You can start at the beautiful Goodspeed Opera House and walk up and down the tiny street. It's perfect on a nice, summer day. There are a few local restaurants but not many shops. I love the buildings, though. Very nice for a dinner or lunch destination and then a walk to help the digestion. :)
Many of their attractions are not on this street, though. So, I recommend a GPS device or very good directions as the roads are not always clear and very winding!
The Goodspeed Opera House was one of the most beautiful sights I've seen. Yes, it's the setting but it's also the way the place makes you feel. The shows are remarkable, filled with endless talent. The singing AND dancing is wonderful.
If you don't go during a showtime, or don't want to sit through a show, it's still worth a trip for the beautiful building.
On Saturdays during the warmer seasons tours are offered throughout the theater.
Free Parking: Go past the theatre, turn right just after the Gelston House. Parking is on right. A path along the river leads from the parking lot across a foot bridge to the theatre.
The bridge you drive over can sometimes get raised because of shipping boats. Make sure you give yourselves lots of time if going to a show. In fact, go early and have a drink or dinner at the lovely restaurants nearby.
*Hint: Many of my pictures are taken across the bridge. There's a little boat ramp and dock.Related to:

Gillette Castle is a marvelously designed house made completely of natural rock. It's eerie contrast to the beautiful Connecticut River is really quite spectacular. Tucked away in a collection of long, curved roads is the Gillette Castle State Park, also seen in the Sports Travel Tips.
The castle is open to viewing. The rooms and completely unique architecture, alone, are worth the $10 admission price, of the original Sherlock Holmes' house. After touring the tiny rooms and getting a breathtaking views of the river, explore the state park. On a nice summer day, nothing could be better!

East Haddam Restaurants
If you're in East Haddam there's not a huge variety of choices for meals. However, if you want a small variety (Italian, etc) head to Main Street, near the Goodspeed Opera House. There are larger restaurants with big patios and bands, small places for more intimate experiences. Each of them will be a fun experience, never mind what your preference is.
**Add pictures soon
Favorite Dish: I actually ate in Chester, 5 miles from East Haddam but walked past many different restaurants while exploring Main Street.
If I had to experience East Haddam all over again I would definitely include a picnic along the bank of the Connecticut River. At sunset in the summer......no gourmet dinner with the best waitstaff in the world would equal the experience. The scenery is unbelievable and the weather in June is perfect right before a night at the theater at Goodspeed.
Just beside the Goodspeed Opera House is a wide open, grassy area and I believe there are even some picnic tables. You'll be parking in this area anyway, so why not enjoy a nice little dinner here.
Just think about it.

East Haddam Nightlife
I can't imagine how else to better spend a night in East Haddam than at Goodspeed Opera House. The shows are wonderful, some of the best entertainment the state has to offer.
The tickets are about $40 a piece and well worth it.
It's not a super-huge theater. There are two floors. They pack plenty of people in there but all of the seats have good viewing areas (as long as stretch armstrong isn't in front of you). When I called to make the reservations I asked to get a seat in the aisle or by an exit due to my claustrophobia and they were very happy to accommodate.
I highly recommend getting some dinner before around Main Street in East Haddam or a short 5-10 minute drive to Chester.
Dress Code: Many tourists are here wearing jeans and a nice shirt but most locals are dressed in Sunday best.Related to:

East Haddam Sports & Outdoors
I originally went here to tour Gillette's Castle. I didn't really bring any hiking or biking gear but suddenly had wished I had once I saw the beautiful scenery. There were many groups doing so, though.
Because I didn't actually do the hiking or biking I would have to say from the views I witnessed from the castle I can only imagine the beauty on the trails. During the summer the weather is so nice, I couldn't imagine why anyone would not enjoy it.
Equipment: There is really nothing to rent from the Visitors Center so you would need all of your own equipment.
*There were also plenty of tables for picnics if you felt like taking a break or just having a picnic.Related to:

Favorite thing: The area around the old bridge and the Goodspeed Opera House serve as such beautiful backdrops for the PERFECT pictures. Also, you can't beat the views of the Connecticut River from the Gillette Castle State Park. Just....every photographer's dream, especially at sunset!Related to:

Project Update #6: AMA National Champion Steve Wise to be part of John Penton Film!
Posted by Todd Huffman
I was contacted yesterday by AMA legend, Steve Wise about his history with racing Penton's early in his career. He said his Penton was his secret weapon down in Texas and like others springboarded his MX career.
(From AMA HoF website) "Wise earned the distinction of becoming the only rider in history to win AMA motocross, AMA Supercross and AMA Superbike nationals. The Texan further proved his all-around talent by earning a podium result in the AMA Grand National Championship when he took third, in his very first Grand National Dirt Track appearance, at the Houston Astrodome TT National in 1982." He also won the famed "Superbikers" on ABC Wide World of Sports twice!
I asked Steve if he would consider being interviewed for the film if we were funded through Kickstarter and he said "Sure!". We will be so honored to have him join our cast of characters for this important story.

PH Azkals now 141 in new Fifa rankings
The Philippine Azkals may be in hibernation since June, but that hasn't stopped them from moving up to their highest world ranking in history.
Climbing three places from their position last month, the Azkals chalked up another achievement by reaching No. 141 in the latest rankings released by the International Football Federation (Fifa) yesterday.
The improvement came on the strength of impressive results the past few months that included a 1-0 victory over Hong Kong last June—the country's first win over the former British territory at senior level. The Azkals also posted two wins in the Challenge Cup qualifiers over Cambodia and a higher-ranked Turkmenistan side, 1-0.
The rankings also took into consideration the results of the last four years, which has seen the rise of the team from a perennial whipping squad into a contender at the Southeast Asian level with back-to-back semifinal finishes in the Suzuki Cup.
Only Thailand at No. 137 has a better ranking than the Philippines, which is ahead of other SEA powerhouses Singapore (155), Vietnam (156), Malaysia (162) and Indonesia (169).
"It's a reflection of how much our national team has improved the past few years," said Azkals manager Dan Palami, who took the team under his wing in 2010 and has steered it to a string of fine results.
"A lot of the credit has to go to the players for the hard work and sacrifice that they have put in and the support of the Philippine Football Federation and the country's growing football community."

SAN DIEGO, Calif. (July 10, 2008) Popular Mexican fighter and former WBC lightweight world champion Jose Luis El Terrible Castillo (56-8-1, 48 KOs) will get back in the ring against Argentine Sebastian Iron Lujan (29-5-2, 20 KOs) in a 10-round welterweight battle on Wednesday, July 30, live on ESPN2 at 9:00 p.m. ET/6:00 p.m. PT..
The co-feature showcases undefeated welterweight prospect Luis Carlos El Potro Abregu (22-0, 19 KOs) against an opponent to be named later.
Abregu, out of Salta, Argentina, is the latest edition to the Sycuan Ringside Promotions (SRP) family. He is trained and managed by former WBC welterweight world champion Carlos Baldomir.
The evening of boxing is promoted by Sycuan Ringside Promotions and will take place at the Sycuan Indian Reservation in El Cajon, Calif. (suburb of San Diego).
Tickets for the outdoor venue are on sale now. Tickets are priced at $200, $125, $75, $50 and $30. You can purchase online at www.sycuan.com, via phone at (619) 659-3380 or in person at the Sycuan box office.
Were extremely pleased to bring a boxer as talented and as gifted as Jose Luis Castillo to fight at the Sycuan Indian Reservation, said Sean Gibbons, matchmaker for SRP. He loves challenges and he is a joy to watch. Im glad Sycuan was able to bring this fight to our loyal fans of San Diego.
Castillo has had a remarkable career having notched victories against Stevie Johnson, Joel Casamayor, Juan Lazcano and Julio Diaz. He also lost two, close decisions against former pound-for-pound king and five-division world champion Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
He is best known for his epic match against Diego Corrales on May 7, 2005. Both fighters absorbed a tremendous amount of punishment. Castillo finally broke through and scored two knockdowns in the tenth. After the second knockdown, Corrales spit out his mouth piece and was deducted a point. Corrales roared back and unleashed a flurry of punches that devastated Castillo. Castillo would lose via tenth round TKO.
Many in the industry place this fight as one of the best of all time. To see the electrifying tenth round in its entirety, follow the link below.

The Arc'teryx Men's Motus LS Crew is a lightweight long sleeve for any high-output activity or adventure. When Arc'teryx says it's for training, fitness, and running, they aren't lying. I've gone running in the Motus LS Crew and the Phasic™ SL fabric is truly a delight. But I went ahead and took things a step further. Wore it on a super-hot day at a certain amusement park near Lake Erie. Result: no sunburn! I even went on a water ride and it dried super fast. The touch is soft and smooth, so you're always comfortable, even when the temps are rising into the mid 70's to 80's (Fahrenheit), it feels like you're wearing nothing. I even wear it under my hockey gear and it doesn't smell after an hour of wicking buckets of sweat off my skin. I hope you appreciate these true life examples I have provided.
FEATURES of the Arcteryx Men's Motus Long Sleeve Crew
- Phasic SL fabric provides exceptional moisture management
- Crew neck line
- Flatlock construction reduces chafing

SPECIFICATIONS of the Arcteryx Men's Motus Long Sleeve Crew
- Weight: 4.4 oz / 125 g
- Fit: Trim
- Phasic SL - 70% polyester, 30% polypropylene

Baseball fans bid farewell to another legend of the sport with the passing of a true Hall of Famer, Tony Gwynn.
We all know how dominant Gwynn was for the San Diego Padres. He finished with a career batting average of .338 with 3,141 career hits, 19 consecutive seasons batting at least .300, 15 MLB All-Star selections, eight batting titles, seven Silver Slugger Awards and five Gold Glove awards.
Just to show how great of a hitter he was, Gwynn struck out just 434 times in his whole career of 2,440 games. That averages out to be just over one strikeout every 21 games.
The most strikeouts he ever had in one season was 40. As I type this article right now (June 20), there are already 164 MLB players with at least 40 strikeouts this season, and most teams have at least 100 games remaining.
To say Gwynn was a dominant hitter might be an understatement.
Off the field, Gwynn was considered to be one of the most personable, intelligent and fan-friendly players to talk to. Media members loved him, his teammates loved him and most of all, fans of Major League Baseball loved him.
Gwynn played the game the way it should be played. He defied odds from day one. Standing at just 5-11, 200 pounds, nothing about his stature made people think he would be a Hall of Fame player, especially with his lack of hitting power (only 135 homeruns in 20 seasons).
However, his incredible bat speed and his decision to use a very lightweight bat (31 ounces) meant less power, but easily putting the ball in play for a man with his talent. Gwynn loved hitting to the opposite field because he would wait so long for the pitch to get close to the strike zone before putting his quick bat through the zone and belting a liner to the outfield.
The San Diego Padres retired Gwynn's number 19 in 2004, and after that, Gwynn went into coaching college baseball at his alma mater, San Diego State. Gwynn guided the Aztecs to three Mountain West Championships and three appearances in the NCAA Baseball Tournament.
Sadly, Gwynn's love for baseball went hand-in-hand with his love for chewing tobacco. Some say that there was never a time near a baseball field from high school through his professional days that he did not have a dip of tobacco in his mouth.
In 2010, Gwynn was first diagnosed with cancer of the salivary gland, a rare cancer that can be caused from dipping tobacco. However, Gwynn overcame the disease the first time around with multiple operations.
Cancer returned again two months ago, but this time, it overpowered the sturdy Hall of Fame player. Gwynn passed away on June 16 due to complications from the disease.
While no one has said for certain that his dipping habit shortened his lifespan, Gwynn attributed it to his health problems and said he dipped almost daily from 1981 until the end of his career. Not only that, but Gwynn said the tumors he battled were in the exact same spot in his mouth where he always put his dip in.
High school athletic associations, including the North Carolina High School Athletic Association, as well as the NCAA, have banned players from using tobacco products on the field, a step in the right direction. Even all Minor League teams have restrictions on tobacco use, leaving Major League Baseball as the only league that has not adopted a strict policy on dipping tobacco on the field.
As someone who has never dipped, it is impossible for me to understand why so many people, particularly baseball players, enjoy doing it. However, with the proven health risks, and now possibly causing the early death of one of the all-time greats of my generation, maybe it is time for users to consider making a permanent switch to sunflower seeds and bubblegum.
The ball has been hit to you, Major League Baseball. It's your time to make a play on it.

The State Penitentiary Service of Ukraine has stated that no one has given former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko a document on the completion of her treatment and discharge from Kharkiv-based Central Clinical Hospital No. 5.
"The penitentiary service never gave convict Tymoshenko any documents on discharge, it does not even have such documents, and has no right to take such decisions. Thus, such statements of the convict are untrustworthy and are aimed at discrediting employees of the penitentiary service for the sake of political PR," reads a statement of the penitentiary service.
"To comment on certain absurd statements of convict Tymoshenko and her defense lawyers, the State Penitentiary Service of Ukraine states that no one locked up the rest-room in the convict's ward and no one ever locked it up!" reads the statement.
The press service added that on September 30 the door of the hospital department, where Tymoshenko is undergoing treatment, was equipped with additional metallic bars.
"Such measures were taken in order to ensure reliable security of convicted women that are undergoing rehabilitation courses at the medical establishment. The old plastic door did not ensure reliable security of the convicts," reads the statement.
Earlier on Monday, Tymoshenko's lawyer read aloud her statement saying that the State Penitentiary Service of Ukraine has given the ex-premier a document on the completion of her treatment and discharge from hospital.
"They are building a new cage, [they are installing] additional bars, taking away from me necessary things, they locked up the rest-room, and they tripled the number of my guards," reads the statement.

The dialogue clearly points out in "Peak Performance" that the E-D's sensors are tracking an incoming Ferengi warship at Warp 5 and not that it had just dropped out of warp.

As you'd say, it doesn't matter since he was
warning Picard of the approaching Warp 5 ship
and not that it had dropped out of Warp and is about to fire on them.

There are random explosions and noises occurring on the bridge. I couldn't say that I heard a "warp pulse" when he orders "Engage".
I hear it pretty clearly. And I've always found it funny, ever since I was a little kid, because it always inevitably leads me to wonder about the whole "no sound in space" thing and to realize that the sound effects we hear in the external shots can't possibly really exist, but then again neither does the background music either, so it's all just stage decoration anyway and therefore what Picard is "hearing" is his own visualization of what's happening outside the ship.
The background noise matched the random fire, pops and explosions occurring on the bridge. None of if matched a warp acceleration, IMO.
newtype_alpha wrote:
Yes, assuming the ship the bridge is attached to is still in something resembling fighting shape by the time those officers have had time to recover. In this case, they did not: a handful of seconds after Stargazer opened fire, the Ferengi ship was an expanding debris cloud.
If they had enough time to open fire they would've picked the target that just fired on them.

"Immediately" is relatively rare. It took the Saratoga a full two minutes to blow its warp core, and the first Defiant took slightly longer after the Breen zapped it with the energy dampener. The Valiant was shot to pieces by a Jem'hadar battleship, but still managed to avoid exploding until Jake and Nog could escape.
And even the relatively quick destruction of the Odyssey shows a distinct time delay between the collision and the actual explosion of the ship... time enough for one final poorly-aimed phaser blast.
Or more likely enough time for one final aimed phaser blast at point-blank range. If people have time to run to an escape pod, they can push an extra button to aim their phasers.

Not the WRONG target, but Lursa and Be'tor managed to trigger a warp core breach before the Enterprise destroyed them with a photon torpedo. If they had done slightly more damage to the engineering section, Enterprise might have exploded only a few seconds after launching that torpedo.

Or they may need less. Again, we don't know one way or the other; it's a moot point.
It's part of Data's plan to use the tractor beam (not phasers) against the Stargazer. Important for the plan then not moot at all.

The ruse was over instantly: Burke immediately realized the warbird was a fake, and Picard figured it out seconds later when Hathaway ignored the warbird and opened fire on them.
The ruse was effective enough to allow the Hathaway to score hits on the Enterprise-D. If the E-D fired at both targets, the Hathaway wouldn't had opportunity for the free hits it landed.

It tells us that DS9's fire control system can do this. That doesn't help us much, since DS9 can do MANY things a normal starship cannot do (like simultaneously manage twelve different torpedo launchers and rotary phaser launchers, simultaneously targeting entire formations of ships). And DS9 is a large stationary platform with ALOT of sensor coverage and a potentially huge number of independent sensor/tracking/targeting stations. Each individual weapons emplacement could easily be managed by a single starship class fire control center.
If the E-D can target multiple drones at the same time in "Conundrum" and
Voyager can fire at 3 targets simultaneously
then it is entirely possible to fire at both targets, near and far.

Unless they were using passive sensors: either reading the emissions from the Ferengi ship itself, or reading the emissions from the
's sensor beam. There's still the fact that we're not entirely sure how fast warp 9 actually is inside of a solar system; if it's the TVH warp 9 or the "Bloodlines" warp 9 or something in between (or worse, the Elaan of Troyus warp 9 which may or may not even be an FTL velocity).
As far as TNG goes, they've been pretty consistent on data points to have warp the same speed regardless where they were unless there was something grabbing them. If it was TOS Warp 9 near a star, it could be as slow as 5c which is about 33s for light to travel one way from Ferengi to Stargazer so 1 minute for a active pulse and 30 seconds for only passive data. Still way too long for Picard's sensor bearing request as he got it almost instantly.
newtype_alpha wrote:
Yes they would if both ships were traveling at the same speed.
And I covered how that wouldn't be possible with LS sensors. No way for a ship with LS sensors to match speeds.
newtype_alpha wrote:
Incorrect. You can clearly see the END of the trail ahead of you, though you cannot as clearly see the actual object leaving that trail (as the distance and relative velocity decrease, that quickly changes, though).
Whoa there. Yes you can see the end but at FTL you won't have a clue as to where it goes until you actually run into it. With LS sensors and traveling at FTL you already are overdriving your sensors.
For an experiment, in an open area with very loud music or noise, put a blindfold on and wear sound-blocking earplugs and have a friend stand in front of you with a small battery powered fan. Have friend move around the room while aiming the fan at you while you try and catch them. Even though you can feel the air from the fan, you can't tell how far away it is. And if they stay perfectly still as you walk up to it, you won't know how far until you accidentally run into your friend (or touch it with your hand if you're feeling around.)

Actually, ONLY from a chasing position. Once you're behind them you can match their warp factor and then you're both stationary in the same co-moving reference frame
You mean once you

newtype_alpha wrote:
It likely WAS 5 seconds. I repeat: what WE saw on the viewer is obviously different from what actually occurred (given the distant image of Stargazer can't really be there). The one and a half seconds of deceleration we see would only be the ending portion of the Stargazer's flight, not the entire maneuver.
But as shown, it was not and we're not given any evidence otherwise. If it was delayed by 4 seconds, Riker's orders would've been too late and the Stargazer would've fired by then.
newtype_alpha wrote:
But there WOULD be the warp streaks, as there ALWAYS are whenever a starship drops out of warp. They may not have understood what they were seeing and been momentarily confused, or -- far more likely -- they didn't have more than half a second to react before Stargazer's fussilade smashed through their shields.
Which points to not LS sensors in order to see those warp streaks.
newtype_alpha wrote:
In almost ANY case, the warp flash at the old image doesn't make logical sense. If the putative FTL sensors detected the warp flash, they would have known instantly that Stargazer was coming at them; more importantly, they would have been able to work out Stargazer's final position without having to scan for a sudden compression of interstellar gas (you ca scan for barely-detectable trace gases but you can't scan for a 200,000 ton slab of metal speeding towards you?).
When you get down to it, the detected warp flash doesn't make sense with LS or FTL sensors. However, it is there so we have to work with it. LS sensors is not the answer because of the timing issues. There isn't any reason to not have FTL sensors either since it is vital to the responsive sensor bearing Picard orders and we know they're always scanning for incoming Warp speed ships.
The remaining possibility is that a sudden Warp 9 jump at the target ship confuses the sensors into thinking there are two for just a brief moment.
As to scanning with trace gases to lock on tractor beams, so be it.
newtype_alpha wrote:
Actually it suggests NEITHER of those things, given the still-present need to scan for a sudden gas compression.
For locking on tractor beams. Data's plan did not include phasers or other weapons.
newtype_alpha wrote:
It wasn't. Simple math fails that test: it takes Voyager a non-zero number of frames to cover that distance even as a streak, which means it's considerably below FTL velocity in that scene (
unless, of course, ILM's cinematography is working at FTL
We're frequently shown ships warping by at FTL so yes, the cinematography is working at FTL and occasionally, so is the camera
It'd be boring or useless if the camera were LS-only
newtype_alpha wrote:
Yes. That's the sudden acceleration of the warp engines that pushes them through STL velocity through the warp barrier. In almost all cases, the "jump to warp" effect occurs BEFORE the flash in the distance as the ship breaks the light barrier (FX artists have used this since TMP; it's meant to be analogous to a sonic boom).
Warp streaks exist to indicate they are at warp, even while still at warp.
Just because they have a warp streak doesn't mean they are accelerating in or out of warp. In the screenshot you can see as the Enterprise-A approaches the camera at warp speed (the stars are zipping by) she also is leaving a light trail.
newtype_alpha wrote:
See above. The flash means lightspeed; the streaks occur first, with the onset of "warp 1" and above occurring at the flash.
Then what are WE seeing? ILM's cameras are FTL too?
See above for both. A
ship at warp
can have a light streak and ILM's camera are FTL
newtype_alpha wrote:
Then your description is wrong, since Picard acquired the phaser lock BEFORE he went to warp.
Quoting myself: "This means that the Stargazer kept her phaser lock in real-time all the way to the delivery point at Warp 9 or re-acquired the target as she slowed down from Warp 9."
This is inline with "The Lower Decks".
The way you described it: "He had already taken a sensor bearing on the Ferengi ship and
fed a targeting solution
ahead of time.
That lock-on prior to the sudden Warp 9 move would've broken the lock. You don't mention a need to re-acquire the target as "Lower Decks" indicates.
newtype_alpha wrote:
Something like this is implied in what Riker tells Sito Jaxa during a "The Lower Decks": "Let the locking relay float until the actual order to fire is given."
That way she won't have to reestablish a phaser lock when the ship changes course (and, presumably, position).
Vigo probably did the same thing on Stargazer and was therefore able to get a realtime fix the instant they were back at sublight velocity.
That isn't present in your first description that I responded to.
newtype_alpha wrote:
There's nothing to indicate it's unlikely, especially since that's Picard's dialog, not Riker's.
Which neither one disputes their interpretations. The only likely things that happened as supported by the dialogue is that the Ferengi saw both ships and fired at the wrong target.
newtype_alpha wrote:
Why did Tom put Voyager to warp when the alien bioship had knocked them into a spin?
Why didn't Tuvok fire phasers? We've seen many times the brave helmsman or some other guy run up to the helm to get the ship "out of there". But when have we seen someone firing weapons without authorization to save the ship?
newtype_alpha wrote:
, in about three seconds. The question stands: there's a flash of light and suddenly your ship is hit by a massive barrage of phaser fire. Your stunned weapons officer stabs a button. What target did he just fire at?
If they were trained like "The Lower Decks", they would've waited for the Captain to select the target and give the fire order. The Captain, if he had any experience, would've chosen the ship that just fired on it, as in "return fire!".
newtype_alpha wrote:
You can see the light trail and you can see where it ends.
That's just being silly. You have LS sensors and you're traveling FTL chasing an FTL ship. You cannot see "where it ends".
newtype_alpha wrote:
You just close on that position and dial down your velocity until the light trail stops being a trail and resolves itself into a ship (because that's all the light trail actually is: the elongated distorted image of the ship you're following).
More like collide with the ship you're chasing. Again, you're flying so fast that you can't see what is in front of your nose, only the the light hitting your bow.
newtype_alpha wrote:
... IF Picard gave them half a minute to catch their breath and recover from the shock of having their bridge decompressed (as Shinzon did). It's pretty clear he did NOT do this, and so the example works just fine.
If Picard gave them no breathing room, they would've been dead and unable to respond. Having a 10 foot hole in the bridge as you're getting destroyed is as you'd say, "a distinction without a difference".
As pointed out earlier, if they have enough time to respond, they'd target the correct ship and the Stargazer would've been destroyed.
newtype_alpha wrote:
Yeah, he had a HUGE grudge against the Borg. I'd imagine he wouldn't like the Ferengi either. But, he managed to stay an effective Captain from "BOBW" to "First Contact".
Arguably, Bok managed to stay pretty effective in the nine years since the death of his son. That's the equivalency you're missing: Bok isn't trying to murder Picard, just hurt him in the same way HE was hurt.
Bok isn't trying to kill him outright, no. However getting the E-D to do it is rather fitting as it would've represented his son firing on the right target. In anycase, the first time around there was no way Bok could hurt Picard the same way he was hurt. Picard had no son to be killed. Controlling Picard to kill other Starfleet officers isn't equivalent to the same hurt.
newtype_alpha wrote:
I rule out that possibility because there are enough episodes in TNG that have a sublight E-D detecting an incoming Warp speed ship which indicate FTL sensors. Heck there are also episodes where a ship (or ships) being chased KNOW that they are being chased by other ships at Warp and if they were limited to LS/STL sensors that would be impossible.
Here's a math problem for you: if you're moving through space at warp nine, and you're being chased by another ship at warp nine, what is the relative velocity between your two ships?
Oh that's simple. The LS sensors on the
ship being chased
wouldn't be able to get a passive reflection from the chasing ships and any active pulse it sends out backwards would never return.
I think you see how untenable having LS sensors in Trek is.

Every daemon on my system seems to set its own uid (has allow X_t self:capability { ... setuid setgid ...}) so I've been unable to find an example of an init script (initrc_exec_t) that uses runuser. From what I've gathered this would require adding some permissions to the initrc_t domain, so either I'm doing something wrong (the likely case) or if runuser is intended to be used from init scripts (it is used in /etc/init.d/functions) then initrc_t should have these privileges ... any thoughts?

The most important event of Tamil New Year's Day is the reading of `Panchangam'
Calendars vary based on solar and lunar phases. There has been a perceptible change in these calculations from the times of the early Egyptian calendar. For instance, `Before Christ' and `Anno Domini' proved to be an easy dividing line, instead of counting the years from the creation of the world.
The Muslim calendar counts back to the year of the Hijira, that of Romans from the period of founding of Rome. Just as Jewish, Roman or Gregorian, Chinese calendar, the Tamil calendar too has a special significance.
The most important event of Tamil New Year's Day is the reading of `Panchangam.' Vedic pandits and temple priests read out the panchangam early in the morning, preferably in front of the sanctum sanctorum. Called `Panchanga padanam,' the ritual is believed to invoke the blessings of the Almighty. There are different `Panchangams' Srirangam Panchangam; Suddha Tirukanitha Panchangam; Arcot Sri Seetharamaiyar Sarva Muhurtha Panchangam; 28th Number Panchangam; Pambu Panchangam; Sri Kanchi Sri Acharyar Madathu Panchangam; Tirunelveli Vakya Panchangam; Tirukoil Anushtana Vakya Panchangam so on and so forth. "Among them, the `Pambu Panchangam' is the much sought-after, while other categories cater to the needs of particular section of people or pujaris," say M. Mohan and R.V. Hariharan, stationery dealers in Tiruchi.
The first month in the Tamil almanac, `Chithirai,' marks the `Chithirai car' festivals at many temples. The celebration of the Tamil New Year is not complete with the `Pachchadi,' a mixture of jaggery, chillies, salt, neem flowers and tamarind, the rationale behind it indicating one's preparedness to experience sweetness and sourness in equal measure, and to be ready to accept both joyous and not-so-joyous events in life in a balanced approach.
According to Mallaji V. Ratna Sarma of Palur, before any formal Panchanga came into existence, Thithi (the phase of the moon) and Nakshatra (the position of the moon in the Zodiac) were profusely used. Only later, Vara (days) Yoga (days and stars combination) and Karana came into use. The Solar Year, Sarvajith, will be born at 12.29 hours on April 14, 2007, when the Sun enters the starting point of Aswini in the constellation Mesha (Aries).

A 13-year-old school girl was run over by a school van while she was on her way to school near Arthunkal here this morning.
According to the police, Angel Miranda, 13, the daughter of Antony and Mary Mable of Ottammassery House, and a Class Eight student of the Arthunkal St. Francis Assisi School, was cycling her way to the school when she tried to give way to a school van that was coming from the opposite side. However, she lost balance and fell right in front of the van, which ran over her.
Though locals rushed her to a private hospital in Cherthala, she died by then. The police have registered a case against the driver of the van. The vehicle belongs to the Kandamangalam Higher Secondary School.

Broadcast Equalizer Limiter 2015
When Auto Correct is enabled, it will scan all selected frequencies in the WAV file to determine the minimum and maximum amplitudes. It will then correct these variations by automatically increasing or decreasing the levels of attenuation at specific frequency intervals (usually 1/3 octave). The result is a nearly linear frequency response. For the listener, this creates more consistent sounding audio. A typical application that would benefit from this tool is an internet radio station. A common problem that many of these stations experience is an inconsistency in true audio reproduction (i.e., different songs sound different). By utilizing this function, one may be assured that there will be an average and consistent degree of bass and treble response, independent of a specific song title or artist.

Clyde broke open a close game against Sweetwater with a seven-run sixth in-ning on Tuesday en route to beating the Lady Mustangs, 16-7, in their opening game of the 2013 season at the Jerry Collins Complex.
Sweetwater led only once ŌĆö 2-0 after one inning ŌĆö but trailed only 8-7 after coming up with three runs in the bottom of the fifth.
SONORA ŌĆö Now that the Sweetwater girls are in the Class 3A playoffs, theyŌĆÖve decided to stay awhile.
The Lady Mustangs on Tuesday guaranteed that their best season since 2005 will continue by grabbing a 58-43 bi-district win over Fort Stockton.
Sweetwater, now 21-14 for the season, will take on Lubbock Cooper in the area playoffs later this week. At press time, the teams had tentatively agreed to play at Post on Friday.
Nothing has come easy for the Lady Mustangs over the past month during their run to the postseason, and TuesdayŌĆÖs game wasnŌĆÖt exactly a cakewalk either.
The Sweetwater boys basketball team finished 2-8 in district play and 13-15 overall after losing to Midland Greenwood, 72-57, here on Tuesday.
Sweetwater got a game-high 21 points from Kaleb Hoover, but no one else reached double figures. Dylan Bennett scored nine points, Rhett Torres eight, Deandre Gatson seven, Isaiah McGee five, J.P. Poe three and Cole Maxwell and Sean Morrow two.
Maxwell and Morrow are the teamŌĆÖs only seniors.
You might think that the only local connection the Sweetwater girlsŌĆÖ basketball team has to Fort Stockton ŌĆö which will be facing the Lady Mustangs in a Class 3A bi-district playoff at 6:30 p.m. today at Sonora ŌĆö is that the schools were 4A district rivals for many years back in the ŌĆś80s and ŌĆś90s.
But it turns out that the Sweetwater-Fort Stockton connection is much closer, because the ProwlersŌĆÖ head coach has local ties.
Vic Ivy is now in his third year as head girls coach at Fort Stockton.
WINTERS ŌĆö Defense has been a strength for this yearŌĆÖs Roscoe girls basketball team, and the Plowgirls were solid again in that area when the team faced Sterling City in a Class 1A, Division II bi-district matchup on Monday.
However, Sterling City was able to effectively shut down RoscoeŌĆÖs offense ŌĆö especially in the final two quarters ŌĆö enough to pull out a 32-29 victory and end the PlowgirlsŌĆÖ year.
The Sweetwater, High-land and Roscoe boys basketball teams wrap up their regular seasons today.
Sweetwater and Roscoe are through after today, but Highland is advancing to the playoffs which get started next week.
Sweetwater hosts Green-wood and Roscoe will enter-tain Westbrook. Both the Mustangs and Plowboys are 2-7 in their districts (4-3A and 13-A, respectively).
Highland (7-2) will play host to first-place Ira (9-0) in its finale.
The 2013 softball season officially starts today for Sweetwater High School as its varsity and JV will host Colorado City at 4:30 and 6 p.m., respectively.
Sweetwater is coming off a season where it made the playoffs for the first time since 1997. The basketball playoffs will delay the start of the season for a few players. Tony Heredia will make his Sweetwater coaching debut today, though he was also the head coach for three seasons at Sweetwater from 2002-04.
Sweetwater High School sent both of its golf teams to a tournament in Big Spring ŌĆö at least the girls did ŌĆö this past weekend.
Amy Witt (80), Corynn Martin (107-105-212), Kala Wofford (108-105-213), Sierra Hernandez (108-114-222) and Angelica Collier (123) competed for the girls, who shot 409-457-866 to finish in fifth place.
Sweetwater High SchoolŌĆÖs girls and boys powerlifters placed first and fourth, re-spectively, in team compe-tition at ClydeŌĆÖs meet this past Thursday.
Both teams will host the annual Arlon Barnes Classic this Thursday.
SweetwaterŌĆÖs individuals who placed at ClydeŌĆÖs meet are listed below:
Sweetwater girls (1st place):
Alexis Thompson ŌĆö 1st in 114-pound class (495)
Valeria Zavaleta ŌĆö 1st in 123-pound class (515)
Mikki Reschman ŌĆö 1st in 148-pound class (670)
Dana Hohn ŌĆö 1st in 165-pound class (730)
Nay Gonzales ŌĆö 1st in 220-pound class (590)
Ezzy Mermella ŌĆö 2nd in 181-pound class (565)
Held Feb. 7
(Roscoe girls)
Crystal Luna ŌĆö 2nd in 123-pound class (510)
Held Feb. 9
(Roscoe boys)
Zack Longoria ŌĆö 2nd in 148-pound class (885)
Jose Rangel ŌĆö 2nd in 165-pound class (1,190)
Landon Jones ŌĆō 2nd in 181-pound class (1,185)

UndiluteD's Ultimate Mass Stack --
For a while now ive been running Creatine/NO pruducts and getting my diet sorted aswell.
I am now looking for somthing a bit stronger as i will be 19 soon. So far the possible stacks i have seen (Non-PH BAsed) are:
Asteroid Stack From USP Labs:
-Anabolic Pump
Anabolic Xtreme's Mass Stack:
-Mass FX
-Hyperdrol X2
Aswell as either one of them i would be using:
-Controlled Labs GreenMagnitude/Purple Wraath (Creatine/Intra Workout BCAA)
-USP Labs JACK3D Pre-workout
-Multivitamins/Omega 3/6/9/
-Aswell as Weight Gainer/Protein Supp for when in a hurry.
What i am looking for are any ulternative stacks people would recommend and which of these two would produce better results.
Second, I believe Jack3d has creatine mono in it already so keep that in mind when using the green mag as well(either use it at another time or lower its dose)..the rest of those look good
Finally, i believe maybe instead of going all out on either of those stacks it would be in your better interest to try one product at first to see how you react to it. I think Anabolic Pump would be the best choice for you(given your diet is rich in carbohydrates) and i love AP. You probably don't need any test boosters at this point but if you truly hit a plateau i would add one of the other products in at some point after you see how AP reacts with you.
Overall though good luck and if you need any other help i'll be glad to provide some
I am assuming you are bulking tho..PES Representative

buyers remorse is a bitch. haha
heyyy-youuuu-guuuyss Is my thread for my upcoming log, there is some good advice on there so far, and before I start i'll be posting some of my findings.
If you decide to go with AP make sure you edit your diet perfectly. (personal experience)

Contemporary Jewish Fertility: Does Religion Make a Difference?
By Frank L. Mott, Joyce C. Abma
Association for the Social Scientific Study of Jewry (ASSJ), 1992
Data from the 1990 NJPS are used to examine levels of and trends in Jewish fertility in the United States. Jewish fertility levels continue to be bellow those for all white American women. There are significant differences in fertility within the Jewish population, the Orthodox having substantially more children than other groups. Current fertility levels are perhaps too low to assure long-term population replacement.

How get user identifier? Somewhere in header files were comment that referred to SC_User_GetIdentifier but this method was removed.
SC_HandleCustomEvent looks not working. I won't use bps events, because this mean changing of cocos2d-x code, but if i'm called SC_HandleCustomEvent regularry (by timer) nothing happens.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Its true - we did remove the SC_User_GetIdentifier() method.The identifier is linked to the login name and is an internal field, that the reason we removed it. But why do you really need it ? as you can identify the users by just using the login. If you are looking at this to compare two users, there is an API called SC_User_Equals() which you could use.
When you use SC_HandleCustomEvent, you need to make sure you are calling it on the same thread on which you have called the Scoreloop APIs ? i.e you need make sure all Scoreloop calls are on the same thread as SC_HandleCustomEvent() and it should work.
Let us know in case you still have issues..
Thanks, Best Regards
SC_HandleCustomEvent() called in main thread, but nothing happens :\
Since it doesn't work i can't check, is user login available after first launch(before user change something in his profile?) i need some uid for identify player on server, even if player do nothing in settings and want play as "player0123235475".
Looking at scoreloop as crossplatform-solution (ios/android/qnx) but fact that it haven't any ready-in-box UI - make things harder that they can be done with OpenFeint on android/ios...
And another question: is simulator render all properly? i'm launch sample with virtual keyboard, but in simulator got flickering and sample non rendered as expected.
SC_HandleCustomEvent() is called in main thread.. But what about the Scoreloop API calls, are you calling that as well on the main thread ?
Also, did you set the run-loop-type to SC_InitData to SC_RUN_LOOP_TYPE_CUSTOM:
scData.runLoopType = SC_RUN_LOOP_TYPE_CUSTOM;
In case the issue still persists, could you send me your run-loop code snippet ? We could take a look and check if you are doing something incorrectly.
About the user-identifier:
The first time, a device/user connects to Scoreloop, he is given an automatically generated user name .. i.e Something of the form "Player 12345". However internally, Scoreloop assigns the unique immutable identifier with the user that is then used in all subsequent connections. The API SC_User_GetLogin() may be used to get the user login. Many developers encourage the users to change the automatically generated username to something more personal. So, the login will not be unique and it can be changed at any point.
Are you looking at the identifier for uniquely identifying the user and storing the uuid on your server ?
About the UI : Many developers prefer to have their own UI to match with their game's look and feel. Thats the reason we have the Core APIs which provide the functionality and not the UI. Many developers on the other hand prefer easy integration and therefore want the UI also. So, Scoreloop built standard UI components for android and iOS. So, if you look at - we do have UI components for Android and iOS. However, the standard UI components are still not available on QNX. Generally, we have always started with Core APIs and then later on we have built the UI components.. So, as the first step we have Core APIs for QNX in place. At this point in time, I am not in a state to tell you if and when the UI components will be available.
We have not had any issues with rendering the sample on the Simulator. Probably its something to do with the machine you are using.
Are you looking at the identifier for uniquely identifying the user and storing the uuid on your server ?
Somehow I missed this reply of yours... So, really sorry for the late reply..
The user identifier which is used for uniquely identifying the users is internal to Scoreloop and is not meant to be exposed. Scoreloop will not provide access to this due to privacy and security reasons.
It's a pity, since in openfeint we can get id without problem. UniqueID improtant in some cases, but except device id - there is no way to uniquely identify user.
What if we want show some information from our game server about user friends? How we can get it? Yes, we can get user's friend list, but what then? Use their logins? That can be changed by user.
One alternative would be to use the UserContext to save a unique key associated with the user. There is an option to submit the user context and also retrieve it back from the Scoreloop server. There is a specific use-case code snippet provided in the Integration guide of Users. You can take a look at it.

He asked activist to join him in fast against party: sources
Rebel MLA Vinod Kumar Binny on Sunday call on anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare to discuss his concerns over the functioning of the Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi. Sources said Mr. Binny had asked Mr. Hazare to join him in a fast against the AAP.
"I apprised Annaji of recent developments in Delhi, and he assured me that he will look into the matter. Anna asked me to have patience. He said he will gather some information himself," Mr. Binny told reporters at Ralegan Siddhi after the meeting.
Though he wanted Mr. Hazare to speak to AAP leader and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal about his complaints, the veteran activist did not commit himself to anything. "He [Anna Hazare] told me that he was happy to see that I was not being greedy for any post."
Earlier last week, the MLA accused Mr. Kejriwal of being a "dictator" in the party and said it was not fulfilling promises made to voters.
Referring to the show-cause the party had served on him, Mr. Binny said: "They [members of the AAP political affairs committee] have invoked section 6(A), claiming that my behaviour has been immoral and illegal. I haven't used abusive language and I don't know what they have termed illegal. If raising the issues of the people is illegal, then they have also done the same thing. They raised the same issues which I had raised," he said.

ACA accreditation means that the Camp Shalom cares enough to undergo a thorough (over 300 health and safety standards) review of its operation — from staff qualifications and training to emergency management.
No accreditation process, no licensing program, no set of regulations or laws can guarantee safety. However, accreditation is the best evidence for parents that our camp is committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment for their children.

About New Image Art
Los Angeles, California's New Image Art began in 1994 as an underground art experiment, showcasing painting, drawing, performance art, sculpture, and photography. Gradually, the gallery narrowed its focus down to sub-culture driven contemporary art and steadily began to attract a global cult following, grabbing the interest of art collectors and the respect artists alike. New Image Art specializes in finding young artists early in their careers, providing them with both a foundation and encourage to grow creatively. After nearly two decades, the gallery continues to show the works of both established and emerging artists coming out of the various fringe cultures surrounding surfing, skating, independent music, street art, and graffiti. Over the years, the gallery has launched or helped mobilize the careers of Cleon Peterson, Date Farmers, Shepard Fairey, Ed Templeton, Chris Johanson, Neck Face, Tauba Auerbach, Faile, Anthony Lister, Bäst, and Retna among others.
Gallery Director: Marsea Goldberg
Marsea Goldberg has been involved in various sub-culture lifestyles since an early age. A lifetime surfer and UCSB fine art graduate, Goldberg began curating shows in LA clubs during the 80′s applying the same DIY aesthetics that many of her artists would also become known for. Goldberg also had success as a gallery artist exhibiting with Ruth Schaffner Gallery among other national and international galleries. Throughout the 90′s Marsea worked within the surf/skate industry as a textile designer where she further explored the connections between fine art and sub-cultural expression. In the mid 90′s Marsea started New Image Art in the upstairs of a design 10ft by 10ft studio and people have been coming to her shows ever since. Marsea has curated and participated in countless gallery and museums shows and continues to play a supportive role in the artist's careers that she works with.
Gallery Manager: Sean Tully
Sean Tully, born and raised in the Los Angeles area, embodies a unique amalgam of culture and style. Sean has achieved a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the California Institute of the Arts (10') and runs a small art gallery/collective in Echo Park under the pseudonym Innocnts. His practice emphasizes an exchange between painting, photography, object making, writing, and curatorial efforts. He sites the gonzo curation efforts of Walter Hopps and his illustrious Ferris Gallery as fundamental influences in his gallerist approach. Sean started at New Image Art in 2012 as an intern and has since demonstrated an understanding for the finer nuances of running a gallery the likes of New Image Art. A second-generation surfer and avid pool skater, Sean currently lives in Echo Park, Los Angeles and considers the taco stand one of LA's most cherished assets.

LeBron, Shaq lead Cavs over Bulls
CLEVELAND They've got more depth. They've got more size. They've got Shaq. And, of course, they've still got LeBron James.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have a different look this postseason.
"We," James said, "have the look of a champion."
Completely healthy and well rested, the Cavaliers took their first step toward an NBA title on Saturday as James scored 24 points and Shaquille O'Neal looked and played 10 years younger in a 96-83 victory over the Chicago Bulls in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference series.
O'Neal, playing for the first time since tearing a thumb ligament on Feb. 25, had 12 points, five rebounds, four assists and three blocks in 24 minutes as the top-seeded Cavs won a testy opener between two teams that obviously don't care for each other.
"I have no friends in that locker room, except for Danny Green," said Chicago's Joakim Noah, who was plagued by foul trouble and booed for much of the game by Cleveland fans. "I don't really know nobody on that team and I don't really care. I just want to win."
The Bulls, who trimmed a 22-point deficit to seven in the fourth quarter before wearing down, will get a chance to even the best-of-seven series Monday night in Cleveland.
Derrick Rose had 28 points and 10 assists for Chicago, which had the misfortune of being the first team to face the Cavs in these playoffs. Cleveland has been rebuilt for a championship, adding starters O'Neal, Antawn Jamison and Anthony Parker to a team that made it to the Eastern Conference finals last year.
After they were eliminated last May by Orlando, the Cavaliers went out and traded for O'Neal, a four-time NBA champion and icon. O'Neal was brought in not only to combat Magic center Dwight Howard but to help James win his first title and deliver Cleveland its first in any major pro sport since 1964.
The Cavs need 15 more wins to get it.
"Everyone knows it's the first team to 16 wins," O'Neal said.
Leading 68-46, the Cavs were coasting to an easy win when the Bulls, who have been in playoff mode for the past two weeks as they fought for the No. 8 seed, stormed back. They scored 12 straight and were still within striking distance, down 73-60 entering the fourth.
Chicago cut it to 82-75 on Brad Miller's basket, but James converted a three-point play with 2:29 left and Mo Williams followed with a 3-pointer to put Cleveland up 94-81.
The comeback may have fallen short, but it gave the Bulls confidence for Game 2.
"We can't wait to play," Rose said. "I know I can't. This is something I live for. I think about it every minute of the day, playing against the best team in the NBA."
Williams added 19 points and 10 assists, and Jamison, acquired at the trading deadline from Washington, had 15 points and 10 rebounds. Cleveland blocked 12 shots - 10 in the second half.
James was his usual MVP self, making plays at both ends. But unlike past postseasons, he doesn't have to do it alone this time.

In the NBA the star player 9 times out of 10 will win out over the head coach.
The Kings had to either get rid of Cousins or Westphal and they just sent out a press release saying Westphal can take his talents to the unemployment office.

we had song, film ,trilogy, album, porn (well maybe not the last one but i can see it 'comming' ). so what are your favorite music videos?
for me thers always a huge ammount of videos that i fondly remember. but when asked about those special videos these always pop into my mind:
all is full of love - björk
most or her videos are pure genious. but this one is to die for beautiful. robo-love. techical briliance. and the fact that a nice song from the album got remixed into what is one of the best songs ever.
sugarwater - cibo matto
one of the videos that made my jaw drop. everytime i see it i get goose-bumps since its so freakishly briliantly made. if you havnet seen it yet - you are missing out on a video masterpiece.
actually that would be it - i am sure that once i read any other posts ill go - damn how could i forget about that one - but for now - i am passing the torch to somebody else.
