What did the Enterprise-C look like in the real TNG universe?
View Single Post
February 15 2014, 02:28 AM
Robert Comsol
Location: USS Berlin
Re: What did the Enterprise-C look like in the real TNG universe?
@ Quinn TV
I was merely trying to express that "the" Guinan we see in the alternate reality is not "ours". It is not like in a mirror universe episode that the knowledge and experience of "our" Guinan has transferred to the one of the alternate reality. This one has a different knowledge and experience with the crew members of the "Battleship"
I don't have alternate biographies of the crew. As I said to the captain, it's just a feeling.
But there's something more when you look at me, isn't there? I can see it in your eyes, Guinan.
We've known each other too long.
We weren't meant to know each other at all. At least, that's what I sense when I look at you. Tasha, you're not supposed to be here.
Here is the next part. Putting it into final form, getting the illustrations together and keeping up with the correspondence between some of the involved parties (elsewhere) has kept me from posting it earlier:
Part III Alternate Universes
The existence of multiple, alternate universes was established in Parallels. In one universe Captain Picard had not survived events in Best of Both Worlds but the Borg cube had been defeated, in another one the Borg where everywhere etc.
Apparently, what we see in Yesterdays Enterprise is an alternate future because the protagonists do not refer to properties of the temporal rift other than being a gateway between past and present. But they dont or cant exclude that it also connects parallel universes and that the event (an
travelling to the future) occurs simultaneously in several of these (like all the Worfs in Parallels returning from the Batleth competition on Forcas III). Ironically, its not the present of this alternate reality that suggests an alternate universe but its past we get a glimpse of, i.e. the year 2344 aboard this
Exhibit A:
The explosion of the Klingon Praxis moon in ST VI contributed to the Starfleets commander in chief estimation that the Klingon Empire has roughly 50 years of life left. A weakened empire could have encouraged Romulan warbirds to attack Klingon outposts like the one near Narendra III. Whether this was a stealth attack hoping to frame the Federation (which I think it was) or an open attack which discouraged the Federation from signing a treaty with the Klingons (which could have drawn the Federation into a Klingon-Romulan war) and was enough
casus belli
for the Klingons to start a war with the Federation (and not the Romulans?) is not important. What matters is the capability of the Klingons to bring the mighty United Federation of Planets to its feet which begs for explanation unless this is an alternate universe with a much, much weaker Federation in the first place.
Exhibit B:
The one all-too-obvious discrepancy (even for a casual Star Trek viewer) is the lack of uniform chest insignias with Lieutenant Richard Castillo, last surviving senior officer of the
, being the proverbial sore thumb sticking out. He is the main protagonist from that era with the most onscreen time, yet neither wears chest
belt buckle insignia. In our universe Starfleet uniforms had chest insignias in the 23rd Century and continue to do so in the 24th. It stands to reason that we could or should have expected the same for the earlier 24th Century (especially since it is the Starfleet insignia introduced in ST II and there should have been plenty of leftovers in Paramounts storage). It is evident that only the ships commander (first Garrett, then Castillo) is entitled to wear the (combadge) insignia, but not the last
senior officer
and definitely not the
(in whose cases the belt buckle substitutes the chest insignia). While the crew of the
belts with an insignia in addition to the chest insignia
which looks like a continuation of the late 23rd Century uniform style (Starfleet belt buckle and chest insignia), the uniforms of the crew of the
lack congruence and continuity. Assuming Kirks
wraparound tunic
was the uniform fashion in an alternate universe (only belt insignias) and the chest insignia was eventually added around 2344 for command officers until both were combined in the present universe at war looks like a more believable uniform evolution.
Exhibit C:
The strange lack of insignias on Lt. Castillos uniform is somewhat compensated by him being the only crew member of the
seen wearing a sidearm / phaser. While not unusual in the present universe at war (Tasha Yar probably suggested When in Rome, do as the Romans), there was nevertheless no scene in the episode requiring him to use it and from a production point of view wearing phasers are impractical, in the worst case costly (these phasers have the tendency to fall off and could ruin a whole scene, like it almost did in Space Seed when Kirk was smashing the glass of Khans suspended animation container the more interesting aspect of this scene, however, is the good doctors reaction to it ). Unless, of course, it was a deliberate suggestion by the producers, knowing how obsessive Star Trek fans can get over such details (like this one). The last time we saw
lieutenants on an older
wearing a phaser like Lt. Castillo
on the bridge of a starship was in an alternate universe the universe of Mirror, Mirror to be exact.
Exhibit D:
If wearing a phaser on the bridge of a starship isnt really an unusual thing, then it is definitely the kind of type 2 phaser Lt. Castillo is wearing:
Its unmistakable the TMP era type 2 phaser, almost 80 years old by the time of the Battle of Narendra III
ST V TFF was released many months before this TNG episode aired and featured
the latest type 2 phasers 23rd Century technology had to offer.
The producers decision
to use this phaser for the year 2344, but instead the oldest phaser type 2 model there was, just preceded by the TOS phaser (!) add to this what must otherwise be an obvious (even for Rick Berman) production screw-up in regard to Castillos missing uniform insignia throughout shooting rather suggests a deliberate hint that things could be interpreted quite differently than what the episode suggests at a first glance.
Thus, its fair game and appropriate to wonder whether this
really come from the past of our known Star Trek Universe - or instead another one, but which exactly?
Is Yesterdays Enterprise alternate reality the mirror universe?
Although the alternate reality has the ingredients that could suggest the mirror universe (
is not a ship of exploration but of war, the Klingon Empire is about to conquer the Federation, wearing phasers on the bridge is common), the alternate reality lacks one important feature: The personalities, experience and minds of our TNG protagonists have not transferred into the bodies of their mirror universe counterparts. The universe at war Picard has extensive strategic knowledge of how the war is going in this reality and nobody ever wonders why Tasha Yar is there, except, of course, for Guinan (Well get to her in the last part).
Is Yesterdays Enterprise alternate reality an alternate universe?
What we saw in Yesterdays Enterprise was rather an alternate universe, where the
had not defended the Klingon outpost at Narendra III which resulted in the future and reality we saw there.
The Klingon Empires strength, to bring the United Federation of Planets to its feet within 20 years, could be owed to the fact that the moon Praxis never exploded in this alternate universe and/or certain historical key events turned out differently or simply did not happen and in total favored the Klingon Empire at the expense of the UFP.
Quite possibly Sternbachs Ambassador Class design exists in multiple universes (as does Proberts Galaxy Class design), but apparently the
in Yesterdays Enterprise came from a time-line and universe that was lagging behind ours in terms of technological progress - hence TMP phasers still in use in the 24th Century, old fashioned late 23rd Century style combadges (compared to the
modern one worn by Wesleys father
at about the same time in our universe and generally available to lieutenants), a shortage of the aforementioned items and eventually a ship class chosen for their
which had already been surpassed by Andrew Proberts design in our universe.
(alternate universe treknological evolution schematic to follow soon)
To be continued in Part IV (Tasha Yarn) stay tuned

MechWarrior 3 (Windows)

Official Site
ESRB Rating
Critic Score
100 point score based on reviews from various critics.
User Score
5 point score based on user ratings.
This game has its own unique style and is, in some places, technically superior to MW4. For instance, MW3 features landscape mesh transform when you hit the terrain with a weapon. This means that you don't just leave a char mark, the terrain actually changes when you strike. MW4 leaves a decal and that's it. The decal then fades or dissappears suddenly after a period of time. In Mechwarrior 3, if you leave a crater, it's there until you leave the map.
Mechwarrior 3 was the bundled software that came with the second production run of the Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro 1.0 joystick. The first release was bundled with Urban Assault.
It was an excellent choice. Realism takes on a whole new dimension when your aim gets thrown by the vibrations of your Mech landing its step or you have to compensate for machine gun drift because the stick is feeding you the recoil. Just make sure everyone in a multiplayer game is using a FF stick. You'll be at a tremendous disadvantage otherwise!
The German version of the game has been censored: Foot soldiers disappear as soon as one aims at them or one is in an position to smash them with the mechs' legs. There's currently no known way to change this "feature".
If you're new to BattleTech and having trouble in the single player missions, one tactic is to shoot at the legs of your enemies. But don't do this when playing against humans... they tend to get REALLY mad about that. ;)

Chris Brogan's Tips for Social Media Success (video)
In this video I interview Chris Brogan, author of the book Trust Agents (you can also check out his blog: chrisbrogan.com). Chris shares his advice to businesses starting with social media. The first 2 steps are listening and establishing a presence.
The pace is fast and this video is full of useful information. Be sure to read the list of takeaways below.
Social Media Monitoring 101, How to Get Started
You've probably heard people talking about social media monitoring. It's wise to listen to conversations before you participate in them. Social media monitoring allows you to do just that.
But many brand and marketing managers responsible for social media don't quite understand what social media monitoring is and why it's important. Here's a quick primer:
Social Media Monitoring Is Listening
Listening to online conversations is technically done without ears. Using search engine technology, social media monitoring tools scan the Internet looking for documents that contain keywords you select. They return those results in some sort of order that allows you to see where people have mentioned your brand, company, product or whatever you specified.

Texas Architect January/February 2014: Ecologies
This issue on "Ecologies" explores urban design across Texas and focuses on the increasing importance of green infrastructure for our cities. With the rehabilitation of the San Antonio River, the state now has the longest linear park in the nation. Dallas is also leading urban design trends with its progressive parks plan — Klyde Warren Park is just one example of the good work being done. Houston and Austin are also both relying on green infrastructure to create valuable public spaces. Other important urban design initiatives featured include mixed-use development in downtown Austin, El Paso's first net-zero senior housing project, and the push for San Antonio's missions to be added to the World Heritage List.
Paperwork Fosu Marina and Master Plan OTA+ Austin-based OTA+ was approached by nonprofit Take Back Our Routes to design a new master plan and marina for the Fosu Lagoon area of Cape Coast, Ghana. Take Back Our Routes was created to empower Africa by partnering with Ghana Ocean Racing to develop a new marina and ocean racing center at the location, which was once used in the slave trade. The site, currently desolate and requiring extensive environmental remediation, carries tremendous symbolism. By re-appropriating the area with a new program, Take Back Our Routes hopes to affect the future of the region. included the design of multiple mixed-use high-rises, Africa's tallest building, a hotel district, new residential towers, performing arts and other cultural buildings, and a community market. To tackle the broad scope of the project in a limited amount of time, OTA+ enlisted the design help of award-winning international architectural firms, including IwamotoScott Architecture, P-A-T-T-E-R-N-S, Khoury Levit Fong, Veev Design, Maxi Spina Architects, and Murmur. The marina was designed to house a number of different programs, including the Volvo Ocean Racing Village and the Ghana Ocean Racing Headquarters, as well as a training museum, a hotel, shopping areas, an outdoor auditorium, a public plaza, and an urban park. The OTA+ master plan 24 Texas Architect 1/2 2014 The public plaza is completely open on the ground floor and folds into a canopy structure at two locations. The canopy is lifted above the piers below and binds the multiple programs with a network of walkways that extend toward the ocean, symbolically connecting the city and people to the ocean routes. Between the walkways, a series of louvers shield the piers and public plaza below from intense summer sun. The pattern evokes the traditional multicolored Kente cloths popular in the region.

Carter runs for a second mayoral term
Mayor Robert Carter has lived most of his life in Jeannette and been part of city government for nearly 13 years.
Carter, 54, first ran for office in 2000 when he was elected to city council. He held that position for two terms but was not elected in his third campaign. In 2009, he ran for mayor and is now in the final year of that term. He is opposed in Tuesday's primary by fellow Democrat Richard Jacobelli. There is no Republican candidate.
Over the years Carter has worked at Westinghouse, at Disney World, as a full-time Jeannette fire captain and at Beckwith Machinery. These days he is self employed as a personal assistant and driver for the Beckwith family. Sometimes he commutes back and forth from Florida, where the Beckwith family has a second home.
"I'm 100 percent in communication with the city by email, cell phone and so forth," said Carter. "There is nothing I can't do (while out of town) other than be here physically."
Carter is running for re-election because "We've done a lot of positive things and done a lot of good, but there is a lot more that can happen. Jeannette still has a positive future."
While pointing to the positives in the city, Carter acknowledges that the city's financial situation is the biggest concern for council in the immediate and long-term future.
"I didn't create this mess, but my main objective and goal is to fix it. It comes from years and years of living in the moment and not planning for the future. My job here is to straighten out the finances but we still need to plan for the future so the city survives."
In the next four years, Carter said, the city has to bring in new businesses that bring new jobs with them. He said the city has several businesses that have manufacturing jobs open now and Jeannette is a good place for new industries to locate.
The only way to bring in new industry is to "create new land and to do that we need to get the Jeannette Glass site cleaned up into usable land. We need to get Monsour Hospital cleaned up. We're trying to get the Jeannette Hospital property developed into something new. We have 3.3 square miles and we're landlocked. These are three huge parcels of land that need to be developed."
Carter said his ability to maintain relationships with county, state and federal agencies along with private industry helps to form partnerships that will get those parcels developed.
While he knows that more budget cuts will likely be necessary, Carter is concerned about maintaining services for city residents and business owners.
"Any cuts that have to be made we will have to look at the impact (on residents)."
One example Carter pointed to was the idea of eliminating the city's paid fire department and leaning on an all-volunteer fire department. Carter said the response times will increase which will lead to increased insurance rates for residential and commercial property owners.
"It's easy to say 'get rid of the fire department,' but what are the impacts? It brings in revenue with occupancy inspections. If we get rid of the fire department, we have to pay someone else to do those inspections. Closing a department has repercussions. There is no clean off switch for any of these things."
Outsourcing the garbage department is often discussed and the process is being put out to bid this month, but Carter said that is not a clear cut either. If it is eliminated there are potential repercussions related to a recycling grant the city received years ago, which might need to be repaid.
Carter said the answer might be reorganizing all city departments to make them more efficient rather than eliminating any one department. Carter is not in favor of reducing the number of policeman in the city and said that while the ratio of officers to residents may be high, so is the call volume for the city station.
The mayor would like to see the property on Chambers Avenue owned by Abe Zion (who also owns the former Jeannette Glass site) turned into a venue for arts and music. He envisions an amphitheater like those in Irwin and Greensburg.
"If we could foster the arts we could bring back the pride of the community. A lot of people have a lot of faith in what Jeannette is and that is a town with a lot of pride."
Carter would also like to bring a grocery store to town. He said he's been in contact with management for Bottom Dollar and Kroger stores, in addition to other chains.
"We need to show them a plot of land and that goes back to needing to create 'new land.'"
Additionally, Carter said the city needs to promote itself to try to bring in more businesses and jobs.
"The financial (issues) are in the forefront, but we are not dying as much as people want to push and say that we are. Declaring bankruptcy is not the answer. The big answer is to bring in jobs on those parcels of land and bring in property taxes. That's our main focus, it has to happen," Carter said. "We need to bring in new dollars. Cutting all of our services is such a hard thing to do. How do you promote and bring things into town if you're cutting services? It's a juggling act."
If he is given another four years, Carter said he expects to make significant strides in correcting the financial struggles in the city. He warns there is no immediate fix that will bring taxpayers immediate gratification.
"There are a lot of good things happening in this town. I hope the people will continue to support us while we change the wrongs and make them right."
Carter is married to Shirley Carter, a homemaker, and the couple has no children.

Quoting RainyDayLazy:
Wow, she looks great! How old is your mom?
Quoting Mrs.Brugger:

Your mom looks great though and they are both very pretty. :)
Lol, I was about to ask about the nose ring, too...

Supernatural - Ultimate Quote - 3C - Poll
Posted by Dahne1 at Monday, September 02, 2013 19 CommentsPolls Supernatural
Hey guys, I know it's been a long time what with the Best Show Competition and me starting a new job, but it's time to get back to our quotes contest so we can finish it before season 9 begins. As always, we will work around the Best Show Competition but I think we can get pretty far pretty quickly. So here's where we left off....
Ugh, that last set was brutal! Many of my favorite quotes are gone and the two I really dislike made it to the next round. Hope your favorites are doing better. Comparatively, nothing was even close in the last round although the awkward family road trip got 44% of the vote and "fugly" got 43%. This round is interesting for me because there are 3 quotes I can't stand (1 of which will be out by next round) and 3 that I adore. Could be another painful day. Here's hoping your choices are easy and your favorites move on. (As long as they are my favorites too - just kidding.) Happy voting! Oh and for those in the US, happy Labor Day. I hope you're enjoying your holiday.
Edited to add...Since this poll is being posted early, it will also end early. Noon CST on Tuesday.
Quotes Too Long for Poll:
Poll 18 - Dean: "Sam, you and dad…you're the most important people in my life, and now…I never should have come back, Sam. It wasn't natural and now look what's come of it. I was dead and I should have stayed dead. You wanted to know how I was feeling…well that's it. So tell me, what could you possibly say to make that alright?" (Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things)
Poll 18 - Dean: "Just hold on, hold on. You seriously think that because none of it…none of it is true. Listen man, I know we've had our disagreements. Okay hell I know I've said some junk that's set you back on your heels, but Sammy come on. I killed Benny to save you. I'm willing to let this b** and all the SoB's that killed mom walk because of you. Don't you dare think that there is anything past or present that I would put in front of you. It has never been like that…ever! I need you to see that. I'm begging you." (Sacrifice)
Poll 21 - Sam: "Yeah because I've been following you around my entire life. I mean I've been looking up to you since I was 4 Dean. Studying you, trying to be just like my big brother. So yeah I know you. Better than anyone else in the entire world and this is exactly how you act when you're terrified. And I mean I can't blame you. It's just…" Dean: "What?" Sam: "It's just I wish you would drop the show and be my big brother again cuz…just cuz." (Fresh Blood)
Poll 22 - Dean: "My name is Dean Winchester. I'm an Aquarius. I enjoy sunsets, long walks on the beach, and frisky women…and I did not kill anyone, but I know who did or rather what did. Of course I can't be for sure since our investigation was interrupted, but our working theory is that we're looking for some kind of vengeful spirit. (The Usual Suspects)

Did you know that Rupert Murdoch is responsible for those naked photos of Kate Middleton?
Not directly, not entirely, but there's a philosophical line to be drawn between the media mogul and the latest victim of paparazzi overreach: the duchess of Cambridge, caught sunbathing nude, by a very long lens, in what she thought was the privacy of a fancy French chateau.
The royals have always lived public lives. But some observers of the British press believe that Murdoch launched the current, vicious open season, when he took over British tabloids in the 1970s. He was a colonial, after all, and an anti-monarchist to boot, and he held no natural deference for anyone he was supposed to call "your highness."
Across the pond, we can relate — both to Murdoch and to Middleton, as it turns out. We tend not to sympathize much with celebrities, because we understand the workings of the machine, the symbiosis between the tabloids and publicists, the way stars use even the most leering press to further their careers. (Show me a leaked sex tape, and I'll show you a perfume line.) If someone knows she's dogged by the press, we figure, shouldn't she wear a bikini, just in case?
On the other hand, anyone with a Facebook account can empathize, on some miniature level, with Middleton's plight. We can control what we put on social media, but we don't always do it wisely, and we have little say when a friend tags us in photos of a drunken outing. We are all celebrities of a sort now, with a new understanding of what life in public means.
That's why, as image-making goes, this particular scandal could be the best thing to happen to the royal family in ages.
For British royals, compared to American stars, the need for publicity is more existential. In an interview with "Frontline" in 1997, Richard Stott, former editor of the Daily Mirror, noted that British republicanism has often taken rise during times when the royals kept to themselves. So after a fallow period in the 1970s, he said, when a tour of Scandinavia by the queen went completely unnoticed, the royals began actively courting publicity — at around the time Murdoch hit the scene, more than happy to oblige.
"If the royal family is not being reported on, it becomes irrelevant," Stott said. "And if it becomes irrelevant, it will die."
Stott was interviewed for a documentary, "The Princess and the Press," that aired several months after Diana's death, and posited that the princess of Wales — unlike her husband's family — had actually come close to mastering the relationship with the press.
Diana understood the paradox of publicity, for a family that depends on public interest to maintain its luxe livelihood. In order to look essential, the royals have to look human. In order to look human, they have to be flawed.
But they also have to play the game. And before that final, tragic encounter with the press, Diana managed, through canny relationships with editors and reporters, to be the victim and the puppeteer at once.
Fifteen years later, it seems that Kate does, too — or her handlers do, at least. Those sunbathing photos, first published in a French magazine, are now spreading daily across Europe, but have yet to appear in the British press. In part, that's due to British privacy laws and a journalistic "code of conduct." In part, it's to preserve the papers' relationship with the royals. And in part, I imagine, it's because, in the wake of Murdoch-related scandals, the tabloids realize their own images are in peril.
Weigh that against a newly minted princess who seems to be doing everything right. This is a woman who knew enough about royal propriety to get married in long sleeves. Her "mistake" here was almost ridiculously benign: sunbathing with her husband, in a place she thought was private, in a country where topless sunbathing is a casual occurrence.
So what does this scandal do? At a time when the tabloids are mistrusted more than ever, Kate manages to rise above them. She demonstrates to the world how terrific she looks, but she still gets to fit into the victim paradigm. She stands a bit higher on the pedestal, but looks more relatable in the process. To those French paparazzi, she ought to say "thanks" — they just made her look relevant, indeed.

Humanities Corridor
About The Central New York Humanities Corridor
The Central New York Humanities Corridor is a unique regional collaboration between:
- Syracuse University
- Cornell University
- University of Rochester
- Schools of the New York Six Liberal Arts Consortium
- Colgate University, Hamilton College, Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Skidmore College, St. Lawrence University, Union College
The Corridor is designed to:
- Enhance the profile, scholarly prominence, and impact of interdisciplinary humanities in Central New York;
- Advance individual and collaborative teaching, research, and public engagement in the humanities;
- Increase connectivity and collaboration among academic humanists throughout the region;
- Foster cross-institutional partnerships and resource-sharing mechanisms in emerging and established scholarly fields; and
- Enhance the productivity of its key scholars, students, and community members.
Each year more than 3,500 faculty, students, and community members participate in upwards of 200 Corridor-sponsored activities. The Corridor stands as a pioneering interdisciplinary humanities consortium, spanning Central and Upstate New York in seven selected fields of shared scholarly strengths called Research Clusters:
- Philosophy;
- Linguistics;
- Visual Arts and Culture;
- Musicology and Music History;
- Digital Humanities;
- Literature, Language and Culture; and
- Archives and Media.
The Central New York Humanities Corridor further enriches the regional humanities landscape through its sponsorship of:
- Graduate Student Public Humanities Fellowships;
- Residencies by Distinguished Visiting Collaborators; and
- Support for faculty and student intra-Corridor travel to activities on other campuses.
The humanities are the cornerstone of a liberal arts education, teaching us to think critically, to solve problems, and to communicate effectively. Since its founding in 2006, The Central New York Humanities Corridor has shaped a scholarly community, freed from disciplinary and departmental silos, playing a strategic regional role linking scholars across New York State.
While no single faculty body can cover all the areas of specialization that figure into the fields of philosophy, linguistics, art, musicology, and literature, The Corridor leverages existing programmatic and institutional strengths to cultivate new synergies between its campuses. The Corridor's programs permit scholars at one institution to work alongside colleagues with complementary interests at any of its affiliated schools. Through these connections between larger research universities and smaller liberal arts colleges, The Corridor impacts a broad swath of Upstate and Central New York, facilitating the scholarship and professional development of its faculty and students.
Central New York Humanities Corridor Endowment Award
In 2014 The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation awarded a total of $3.55 million to The Central New York Humanities Corridor, permanently endowing The Corridor at each of its three founding institutions:
- $2 million at Syracuse University (plus a $300,000 expendable gift);
- $750,000 at Cornell University; and
- $500,000 at University of Rochester.

Endowment Campaign
By the end of 2017, The Central New York Humanities Corridor will raise a total of $3.25 million to match The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation's endowment awards. The matching funds will bring the total Corridor endowment to $6.5 million to support The Corridor's mission of increasing connectivity and collaboration and fostering cross-institutional partnerships in perpetuity. Matching funds will be raised chiefly through a combination of foundations as well as principal and major gifts.

I was so very impressed at how comforting he was and how attentive.
Would not recommend him to anyone. I am in more pain now than before the surgery, His departure left me without a doctor.
Dr. Hess is the finest orthopedic surgeon He moved I I would like to find him
Dr. Hess did a discectomy on me. After the surgery I had a lot of leg pain and I couldn't feel my foot. I was told this was normal and would get better in 6 weeks. Every week my leg pain continued and I was told it was normal by Dr. Hess and his assistant. I insisted that something was wrong, but they again said everything was fine and it was normal. Finally went to a different doctor and he ordered a new MRI. The new MRI showed that the disk was still herniated and it was worse than before putting pressure on my nerve. So now I'm having to have the surgery done over again 7 weeks later to correct his mistakes. Advanced Orthopedics Center also didn't want to help me and were very uncaring once they found out the surgery was a failure.
I became a patient of Dr Hess in 2009. I had suffered for over 17 yrs. I moved to Fl from Boston where we were supposed to have the best hospitals and best Drs. Yet the best spine surgeon I found was here in Fl and he was recommended by my FL PCP. I know I still have some problems but they are minor compared to what I suffered from Lumbar Spinal Stenosis for as I said over 17 yrs. Dr Hess listened to me and worked with me to correct the problems. The last Lumbar spine surgery in 2011 was fusion and is doing well but I still have some pain that is originating elsewhere and affecting my back. I know I only have to call and make an appt with Dr Hess and he will help me. I then developed a problem with my neck late in 2011. I went through all the regular treatments and they did not work. Dr Hess again did surgery for me it was and Anterior Disectomy. My neck feels so much better since that surgery . He listens to his patients and I know that patients should also listen to their Dr's. I would not trust another surgeon with anything to do with my spine. In 2011 after the 3rd Lumbar surgery I was able to drive from FL to MA and NH to visit with family and attend a family wedding. This would not have happened had it not been for Dr Hess for that I thank him. He has given me my life back and even if there is any pain left I will deal with it. The spine is probably one of the riskiest parts of our anatomy. The risks involved and all possible outcomes are outlined and explained before you even get to surgery. As for waiting time. If it was 2 hrs I would wait this Dr is well worth the wait at any time.
Would tell anyone to trust and rely on him.
I just had my first appointment with Dr. Hess. I really got a good impression from him. I loved him!!!! He is very thorough. Asked many questions and actually did a complete physical exam, most doctors don't even touch me to see where I hurt. He seemed very concerned for me and showed compassion. I think he is truly interested in helping me find out what my problem is. Overall I had a wonderful experience with him and I felt he really listened to all my concerns. His staff is very helpful and friendly also. I would definitely recommend Dr. Samuel Hess!!!
Dr. Hess recently performed surgery on a wedge compression fracture which I acquired in early March. In my analogy, I find him to be an exceptional orthopedic surgeon who has a passion for providing the best health solutions and optimum care for his patients. He fully informs his patients of how surgical procedures will be completed and the pre and post care regiment. He takes the time to answer questions that concern a patient or family member. I find him to be a superior practitioner and excellent physician in his field.
I have long term problems resulting from surgery. Dr. Hess did not listen to my concerns. He did not follow up with me. He treated my family in a belittling manner. I could not recommend him as a surgeon.
to bad i suffer more now then i ever did before surgery.
I found Dr. Hess to be very caring. The longer wait is because he will spend the time with a patient.

Mayhem # 2236141
About MeLet me start by apologizing to the many models who contacted me, as I have been absolutley overwhelmed with work and commissions recently. Please don't take this to mean that I am not interested in painting, drawing, or shooting you!
There are only 15 photos on this website, but I have created hundreds of works and continue to show my work in galleries across the country. Art is my greatest joy and I'm always thrilled to work with like-minded models.
I'm always looking for models to work with. I like to shoot photos as reference for all of my fine art. My work requires that models be comfortable with some level of nudity, semi-nude, and in lingerie. I supply all hair, make-up and wardrobe for shooting and love to make my girls SUPER glamorous.
For my personal work I typically create modern and retro, erotic/fetish/pin-up images. Sometimes a little fantasy and usually on the darker side.
I just moved to Florida from the northeast so please feel free to contact me! I look forward to networking with new models and making beautiful images :)

Mets trade Marlon Byrd on day of his T-shirt giveaway
More MLB: Scoreboard | Standings | Probable Pitchers | Sortable Stats | Odds
Earlier on Tuesday afternoon, the Mets traded Marlon Byrd (and John Buck) to the Pirates for a minor leaguer and a player to be named later. It's a sound move by a fourth-place team, turning a soon-to-be free agent outfielder having a career year into pieces for the future.
There's just one small problem though. The Mets are giving away Marlon Byrd-themed "Let It Fly" shirts at Citi Field tonight. Here's the promotion info and here's the shirt a few lucky thousand will receive:
You know what that means, right? Collector's item!

Gas Pumps Being out of Calibration?
Today I filled the tank on my truck the EVIC was saying 18.0 mpg but after I filled up the Actual number was more like 16.8 mpg (353 miles / 21 gallons filled to the first click) Now that is about a 6.7% error in fuel economy reading. No Surprise there seeing how that seems to be a normal finding on this forum. Also when i was getting gas I had a 5 gallon gas can for my lawn mower can and i filled the the can exactly on the 5 gal mark and the the gas pump said 5.25 gal which is about 4.8% error in the pump. So if my calculations are correct the percent error in my EVIC is more like 1.9% or about 17.65ish mpg (corrected for the pump being off) which sounds correct.
I guess my question is has anyone else found this to be the case when they by gas and put it in a gas can?
If so maybe the EVIC isnt as wrong as everyone says it is or maybe is just don't know how to do math lol and I'm horribly wrong
I did do a little searching just didn't find what i was looking for.
5 gallon cans will hold more as they age or on warm days, they stretch.
the EVIC figures avg mpg based on the last 2-3 hours of driving, thus why it is usually off. mine will often show 10 mog for the avg because each morning i crank my truck, drive out to the barn to take care of the horse and leave it idling, drive 3 miles to work, then drive home, idle at the barn for 10 mins, then park and shut off. but then over the weekend when i drive around a lot it will jump up to 18 mpg because of the hours of idling rolling off.
the only way to get a true reading at the gas pump, is to pump your gas at 60 degrees F
that is why the people that know, say to fill your tank in the early morning, during the hotter months
Out here, the Dept. of Agriculture checks the gas pumps at regular intervals & also on random dates & times
Any pump that is found to pump more or less than the proper measured gallon, is RED TAGGED, they have a correction chart for temperatures
here is the chart
Adding to what davidgcet said; the line on your 5 gal gas can is very, very, very approximate and is only usable when determining how much oil to add if you are mixing fuel for a 2 cycle engine. The Weights and Measures department that tests these pumps uses a device called a prover which has a custom designed narrow neck with a sight glass that after being properly calibrated is very accurate but pretty much useless as a portable gas can. :)
GTyankee also brings some great information to the table (Thanks for posting the temperature correction chart! :smileup:) that has an affect on how much fuel you purchased. In Canada your fuel purchases are corrected to 15deg Celsius and in the US to 60 deg Fahrenheit (Basically the same temperature)
What this means is the expansion of fuel with temperature is great enough to take into consideration. This also ensures the issues can be caught using the daily (or more often) tank dips which are also temperature corrected. If the dips do not agree with the pumps, then either the pump is wrong or the tank is leaking.
I have heard the claims that yo should buy your fuel early in the morning when it's cool to get the most fuel. Although this may have been true many years ago, the temperature correction system makes this no longer effective.
Another consideration; if the station has in-ground tanks, the temperature of the fuel is very stable, and remarkably close to 60 deg F. The time of greatest fluctuation is when the tanks are filled. On a hot day, the tanker truck is pouring in some pretty hot fuel that may take a day to stabilize. Conversely, in the winter (especially in the northern states and Canada) the fuel is pretty cold when poured into the tanks. These are the times the correction at the pump is the greatest.
In the end you will pay the same price for the amount of 'energy' you bought, which in the case of gasoline is measured in BTU.
The EVIC in your truck is a 'guideline' and will never pass a calibration test for a 'legal for trade' liquid meter. In fact, it is not capable of even getting close as it uses the gas gauge as an input device to know how much fuel is in the tank. I know that most people know their vehicle well enough to know if the top or bottom half is bigger. In calculating mpg accurately, the top and bottom halves MUST be exactly the same. Although our fuel gauges are much more accurate then they used to be, they are still just a general guideline.
Hope this helps. :)
Thanks for all your information i didn't realized how much the temperature of the gas effects its volume. It just bothers me that the EVIC is more accurate but whateves. Yea i just did assume though the gas can was very precise. And my EVIC is reading within +-10% so thats not too bad i guess.
Thanks for all your insightful responses :smileup:

Women won more individual Pulitzers this year than they have in the last 5
2015's Pulitzer jury awarded more prizes to individual women in journalism categories than it has since 2010. Five women won individual awards this year, and one woman won as part of a team, according to the Pulitzer site.
Here are 2015's individual female winners, not including women who won as part of a team or staff:
National Reporting: Carol D. Leonnig of The Washington Post
Feature writing: Diana Marcum of the Los Angeles Times
Commentary: Lisa Falkenberg of the Houston Chronicle
Criticism: Mary McNamara of the Los Angeles Times
Editorial writing: Kathleen Kingsbury of The Boston Globe
While 2014 saw only one female winner in a journalism category (Inga Saffron of the Philadelphia Inquirer), 2013 had no individual winners. There was one individual winner in 2012 and there were three in 2011. Read more

Our Story
Dun-Well Doughnuts started as a food craving when Christopher Hollowell (the "Well" in Dun-Well) called up his buddy Dan Dunbar (The "Dun" in Dun-Well) after having watched a Simpson's anniversary episode that featured Homer's favorite round confections rather prominently. Having been unable to find a vegan doughnut in NYC that satisfied his craving Christopher and Dan agreed to make their quest to create an amazing doughnut and open NYC's first all-vegan doughnut shop.
But Christopher and Dan's journey began long before ruminations of doughnuts. They met while in College in Ithaca New York, where they developed a passion for vegan cooking, and where ultimately the seed to create a compassionate business was planted. The two have traveled across the country by bicycle twice and toured around the world to raise money for affordable housing. Their bond has been formed both through friendship and survival.
Our Mission Statement:
Our Mission is to be the premiere vegan doughnut shop on planet Earth and reverently carry on
the tradition of doughnut making in a manner that is both innovative and ethical.
The Impact
Dun-Well Doughnuts WILL launch it's full time shop. We are focused on developing our kitchen space and maintaining wholesale deliveries. What we need is help in creating a storefront space that will be suitable for customers to come in and get our doughnuts when they are the freshest they'll ever be. Having a storefront will bring yet another vegan food haven to our city, and create a space where more and more people can make the connection, that caring about animals and sacrificing taste buds are not mutually exclusive. At Dun-Well Doughnuts you can have your doughnut and eat it too!
What We Need & What You Get
We have the space, but we need help making the storefront customer ready. In addition to floors, ceiling, walls, chairs, tables, counters, and lights, we are going to need the money to invest in display racks, a cash register, coffee equipment, a refrigeration unit, and an ice-cream bar (yes, we'll have ice-cream! delicious, vegan ice-cream!) In the even that our funding goals are not met, we will maintain our wholesale business and raise the funding over time, but our fear is that without storefront sales, wholesale might not be enough to carry our business through. Our location is wonderful and convenient, and it would be our pleasure and honor to offer fresh doughnuts to walk in customers. Thank you so, so much for helping us and giving us the chance to do this.
Other Ways You Can Help
Please share this link with anyone who cares about animals and the potential great vegan food can carry as a gateway to getting people to open themselves up to the idea that animals matter!

On the front lines of the African climate change battle
'99.99% of antiques in the market are fake'
11 Sep 2013 13:04 GMT | US & Canada, Latin America, Mexico, United States
In October 2012, a US Border Patrol agent fired through the 20-foot steel fence separating Nogales, Arizona from Nogales, Mexico and killed an unarmed 16-year-old Mexican boy, putting 10 bullets through his body.
When he fell over dead they kept shooting
Isidro Alvarado
This was not an isolated incident by a rogue agent, but just the latest in a string of cross-border shootings that raise serious questions about oversight and accountability of the Border Patrol. In the last three years, Border Patrol agents have killed six Mexican citizens on their native soil, firing through the border to threaten and injure even more.One man was shot while picnicking with his family on the banks of the Rio Grande. A 15-year-old boy was hit between the eyes by a bullet for allegedly throwing rocks.None of these cases have led to any known disciplinary action or criminal charges against the border police, and US courts have rejected claims made by victims' families, asserting that Mexican citizens do not have the same constitutional protections as US citizens - effectively giving the agents carte blanche to act with impunity.Fault Lines travels to the border town of Nogales - currently the nexus for this increasingly lawless law enforcement - to meet the Mexican families who have lost their young sons at the hands of US agents who many accuse of being immune from the law.

Lost and found— St John's
Thanks to a strong leader, oil discoveries, new direct flights to Europe and a prime-time drama set in St John's, it's boom time for this Canadian province, leading everyone from Norwegian engineers to New York art directors to relocate here.
It's Wednesday night and the streets of St John's, Newfoundland, are deserted. All 120,000 people in this city, it seems, are glued to their TVs watching CBC's new detective series, Republic of Doyle.
The hit series has become a national anthem for New Newfoundland. Executive producer, creator and star Allan Hawco, a handsome blue-eyed Newfoundlander says, "It's a 10-year dream of mine to have this detective show set in St John's, the city I love. For my entire life, our province was always in a depression with everybody having to leave to find…
