In the Community spotlights members of the C++ / developer community. This week, meet PJ Naughter, a C++ MVP and prolific C++ developer. Take it away, PJ…
PJ has been a C++ MVP since 2007. In his spare time, he runs a personal web site at http://www.naughter.com where he publishes open source software and source code of use to Windows C++ developers. There is roughly 250,000 lines of Open Source C++ code available to download. Areas covered include GUI controls, Astronomy, Calendars, Hardware integration, multi-threading, network protocols and databases.
C++ in 140 characters or less?
The Ideal computer language for those who want to control every aspect of their code. Also ideal to shoot yourself in the foot if not careful.
Why C++?
C++ to me is the perfect language where you can express high level abstractions in your code while at the same time you can go right down to the bare metal if you really want to. All this with the performance, flexibility, portability and minimal run time requirements which no other language can come close to matching.
What do you like most about C++?
With C++ you have complete control of the code you produce. I graduated with an Electronics degree from college and have a fondness for C++ and C with its origins in engineering which I do not get from the likes of C# or Web based languages. Because C++ is a mature language there is a plethora of open source libraries you can call upon when you need specific functionality not available out of the box.
The lack of a modern GUI and class framework in Microsoft VC when compared to the likes of C# and the .NET Base Class Libraries is a real bugbear for me. It is one of the reasons which originally drove me to start releasing open source C++ code on my web site. In an ideal world I would love to see a modern UI framework in a future version of Microsoft VC with all the functionality which MFC provides without all the baggage which MFC is saddled with. A standards based XML class library/framework would also be very much appreciated. We also need to improve the Help system in Visual Studio for C++ developers. If you can use Bing or Google to find the documentation or information a developer needs quicker than local help, then the Help System has failed. There are many environments where I develop when I do not have or are not allowed online connectivity. Also the quality of the help content for C++ developers has waned since the time of Microsoft VC 6. There needs to be a better connect between the document creation team for Visual Studio and the creators of the C++ classes and code they are describing.
What advice would you give new C++ developers?
C++ 11 can be a complicated beast to master and I am still grappling with all the new language features it provides. I would suggest someone who wants to learn C++ should start off learning the basic OO concepts and syntax without worrying too much about specific technologies such as Win32, MFC, ATL, WTL, STL or WRT. Then once you know the basics, I would start working through the STL library and perhaps some Win32 specific coding. Then as your experience level increases, start digging into the more advanced use of STL and finally start learning the new features of C++ 11.
Do you have any favorite C++ favorite authors or books?
At the moment the two books on my bedside locker are the second edition of "The C++ Standard Library" by Nicolai Josuttis and "C++ Concurrency in Action" by Anthony Williams. Both books are very much recommended for the C++ developers out there who is getting to grips with the new features of C++ 11 and STL, many of which are now available in VS 2012. I am dipping into both books at the same time, but it would make sense to read the Josuttis book first as it serves as a good primer for C++ 11.
Where are your favorite technical places on the Web?
Other than my own web site which is www.naughter.com<g>, I used to post a lot of my articles to codeproject.com. I still use CodeProject quite a bit for reference purposes but do not actively post their anymore. I also use Stack Overflow quite a lot which researching technical questions. The quality of answers there are always top notch. When I want to catch up on recent news in the IT world and need a bit of a laugh I love "The Register". There's something about that British sense of humor.
What question should I have asked?
What should Microsoft and the Microsoft C++ community do to continue the C++ Renaissance?
And the answer?
That's a tough question to fully answer, but I'm not sure that a complete reliance on pushing C++ 11 is going to produce the C++ renaissance that all C++ developers and particularly those in the Microsoft C++ community want to see happen. C++ is very much alive and kicking in the wider C++ community but not at the same level inside the Microsoft C++ community. I believe the reason why C# was and continues to be so successful is in addition to its clean and simple syntax is the comprehensive libraries and tooling support for it out of the box in each copy of Visual Studio. Microsoft C++ needs to get back to the dizzying heights of Microsoft VC 6. Those really were the days for us C++ developers.
Here's some things which I think we can do:
Thank you, PJ.
What else can we do to continue (and intensify) the C++ renaissance? Share your thoughts in the comments below, on Twitter or on Facebook.
What can you do to continue, nay accelerate the renaissance?
1. Ship the 'Milan' update to the compiler.
2. Get some basic C++ refactoring support into the IDE.
3. Dramatically improve the compiler diagnostics, see Clang and how XCode surfaces this in the UI.
4. While we wait for std:: to catch up, release a Standard Library-esc basic XML library.
5. Unify C++ AMP and the Parallel Patterns Library.
6. Bring the WinRT native XAML and C++ CX language tech to the Desktop. Back-port the same to Windows 7. come March 2014, Windows 7 will take over from 'XP as the defacto downstream, prevalent enterprise OS for some time and the native XAML and C++ CX stuff is too good to leave languishing in Windows 8.
7. Putting up money to get isocpp.org start was amazing, now really, really get behind growing the Standard library.
8. Make sure the Going Native show on Channel 9 comes out regularly ;-)
9. Tell us when Going Native 2013 is going to be.
10. Put a decent Direct2D / XAML example into the default set of Visual Studio C++ Project Templates in the Windows Store App section.
11. Make sure all the code generated by the various wizards and code generators in Visual Studio Next create decent, Modern, C++. This means pervasive and aggressive use of const, no C style casting etc. Herb Sutter et al keep preaching about modern, type safe C++, and yet the generated code is frequently positively harmful as a learning resource and example for say, 20-30 something developers who started their careers with managed and are dipping their toes into the native pool for the first time.
Ye Gods, I could do this all day, there's no shortage of things to be done to make up for lost time and ground.
I see similar opinions among VC++ MVPs about both the strong and week points of C++. Lack of libraries, especially for GUI but also for things like XML (which is ubiquitous), are the week parts, and I hope they will be eventually addressed in a positive way.
What is this "in the community" stuff? I'm not interested in "meeting" anyone. Post some interesting content instead.
"a modern UI framework from Microsoft for desktop development"
A thousand times yes. Now don't get me wrong -- I do love everything they've done for C++ lately. But while they are being kind to the language and its users, they're not doing much for C++ developers who are also Windows developers. Case in point, a modern C++/Windows BCL & UI framework are long, long overdue. One might even say conspicuously absent.
When I read the earliest news of Win8 I was excited. It sounded like the plan was to "unite the clans" as it were, making C++ a first-class citizen of Windows development again -- including, critically, giving us access to the modern UI framework. We all know that C++ has been the redheaded stepchild ever since the introduction of .NET, and finally it seemed they were fixing that.
Only they didn't, because this is only true when the target is app store/Metro. Not everything can be Metro, nor should it. It's not the right solution for everything. For some things you still need real/desktop Windows, and unfortunately native desktop developers still have to come in through the servants' entrance.

So say I created a set of arrays like so:
my (@device, @mount, @type, @options, @dump, @pass) = ();
Then later I wanted to create an array with those arrays inside it. How would I do that? I tried to use:
my @columns = (@device, @mount, @type, @options, @dump, @pass);
my @columns = ([@device], [@mount], [@type], [@options], [@dump], [@pass]);
The issue seems to be that @columns remains empty. I feel like I am making a really simple syntax mistake. What have I done wrong?

Re: sf/f TV development news - 2012
This Canadian show
seems pretty interesting:
(sorry if this has been mentioned already)
Honestly, I would watch this already just because they have Nichols and Doig there
When a group of fanatical terrorists escapes their planned execution in the year 2077, they vault back in time to the year 2012, sweeping dedicated CPS Protector, Kiera Cameron (Rachel Nichols), along with them. Stuck in the past and unable to get back to her husband and son, Kiera concentrates on bringing down the terrorists before they can wreak havoc in our present. Kiera receives unexpected assistance from a teen tech genius Alec Sadler (Erik Knudson). Impersonating a member of local law enforcement, Kiera also forms an uneasy alliance with her detective partner Carlos Fonnegra (Victor Webster).
Starring Rachel Nichols (Criminal Minds, Alias) Victor Webster (Castle, Melrose Place) Erik Knudson (Jericho, Scream 4) the cast also includes Stephen Lobo (Smallville, Little Mosque On The Prairie), Roger Cross (24,The Gates, Fringe), Lexa Doig (V, Stargate SG-I), Omari Newton (Blue Mountain State, Sophie), Luvia Petersen (The L Word), and Terry Chen (Combat Hospital).
Trailer here:
It will be on Showcase starting May 27th.
Not sure if and when it will be shown in US/EU, though

Baptist minister and consecrated bishop.
Since arriving at UMES, he has collaborated with
faculty, students and administrators launching "Hawk Hero", a library lecture
series curated by Tameca Beckett an ALA 2014 Emerging Leader.
Hunter Hayes launched his academic library career
and assessment experience by serving as an American Library Association fellow
in 1992.
He speaks and reads Russian and has a passion for libraries.
He was appointed to his first directorship in 1999 at a military library, and served
in library leadership positions at several HBCU's, Southern Illinois University
and Temple University in Philadelphia. He is an advocate for
libraries and has facilitated multimillion dollars renovation at many
At his undergraduate alma mater he has held three positions;
first, as a Special Collections Librarian, then as the Director of Alumni
Relations, raising more than $12 million, and as the Library Director/Associate
Professor earning tenure in 2009. In this capacity he directed Lincoln
University into earning a Middle States Commendation and facilitated a $17
million renovation project of the Langston Hughes Memorial Library.
He has served on the Board of Trustees at Lincoln
University and held fiduciary responsibilities during the construction of
several multimillion dollar projects on the campus.
Mr. Hunter Hayes comes to the University of Maryland
Eastern Shore as a progressive change agent who believes that creating access
opportunities for patrons is the cornerstone of library services.

Planned trail closures cause for lawsuit against US Forest Service
Multiple groups of motor sports enthusiasts and individual riders are suing the US Forest Service and Department of Agriculture over preparations to close more than 800 miles of trails to off-road vehicles in the Tahoe National Forest.
The lawsuit was filed on Tuesday by Brandon Middleton, an attorney with Pacific Legal Foundation, for six local motor sports organizations and two individual enthusiasts.
The six organizations are Friends of Greenhorn, of Auburn; Friends of Tahoe Forest Access, Webilt Four Wheel Drive Club, Nevada County Woods Riders, Grass Valley 4-Wheel Drive Club and High Sierra Motorcycle Club. The two individual plaintiffs are David Wood, of Nevada County, and another Nevada County woman only identified as "Kyra" in a complaint.
"Off-road vehicle enthusiasts have been undeservedly attacked by environmental groups who paint a picture to their members that simply doesn't exist on the scale they assert," said Jacquelyne Theisen, of Auburn, with Friends of Greenhorn.
The US Forest Service declined to comment on the lawsuit Tuesday morning. It is listed as a defendant along with the US Department of Agriculture, Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, US Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell, Regional Forester for the Forest Service's Pacific Southwest Region Randy Moore, and Forest Supervisor at the Tahoe National Forest Tom Quinn.
Pacific Legal Foundation gathered members of the represented organizations and concerned riders together at the American River Canyon Overlook Park in Auburn on Tuesday.
Jason Smith, of Foresthill, brought his white 2005 Dodge Power Wagon to the congregation and his 5-year-old daughter, Taylor, who was toting a sign reading "Don't Padlock the Forest."
"We moved here from the Bay Area just so we could recreate in the forest and now they're shutting it down," Smith said.
The lawsuit asks that conclusions regarding the Forest Service's 2005 Tahoe National Forest Motorized Travel Management Project be stuck down because it violates the National Environmental Policy Act and the Administrative Procedure Act.
According to the complaint, the project set out to designate a system of roads and trails for motor vehicles within the Tahoe National Forest with the help of those in the public who were interested. The impact of motor vehicle use on soil, water, vegetation and wildlife was considered.
Bob Anderson, chairman of the Tahoe Area Sierra Club, said his organization had not discussed the matter of off-road vehicles in the Tahoe National Forest and therefore had no comment on the lawsuit.
In the Final Environmental Impact Statement and Record of Decision for the Tahoe National Forest Motorized Travel Management Project, around 50 miles of formerly accessible trails were left open for use. The complaint states that under the project more than 800 miles of roads and trails will be closed to off-road motor vehicles that were previously available for use and that those enthusiasts who came forward to help with the project were misled into thinking more trails would be made available.
"It is completely lawful and legitimate for off-road vehicles to use those trails and to suggest otherwise in these documents is completely disingenuous," Middleton said.
The complaint goes on to state that the Forest Service came up with a list of alternative choices pertaining to the trails and roads in the Tahoe National Forest. By not adequately considering all of the alternatives, none of which allowed for more than 85 miles of trail accessibility for off-road vehicles, the Forest Service violated the National Environmental Policy Act, according to the complaint.
The alternative that allowed for the greatest amount of mileage availability for off-road vehicles was rejected because of "potential adverse impacts on air quality and watershed conditions," according to the complaint. It was later found that the Final Environmental Impact Statement and Record of Decision stated all of the alternatives would have had similar environmental impacts, therefore violating the Administrative Procedure Act, according to the complaint.
Dave Moser, of the Shenandoah Valley, said he has followed the Travel Management Project from the beginning and was misled into thinking it would have a positive impact on trail access. Now he said the new closures will create fragmented trails throughout the Tahoe National Forest that will prevent himself and others from getting to certain areas.
"It's appalling, the restrictions they want to put in place, when I thought participating in this would create a balance," Moser said.
The lawsuit asks that the Forest Service be required to restart the process of implementing the Tahoe National Forest Motorized Travel Management Project so that all trails and roads that are now open to off-road motor vehicles stay open.
Even if the lawsuit fails and trails close, Sean Tait, manager at Auburn Extreme Power Sports, said people will most likely find a way to continue to enjoy the outdoors.
"Dirt bike riders will find a place to ride somewhere. They can't take the trails away from us and not expect us to ride anything," Tait said.

It's that time of year again — cold and flu season. Public health officials are now reporting that the incidence of flu in Massachusetts is beginning to pick up after a slow start to the season. The sore throat and cough common with a cold and the fatigue and muscle aches associated with the flu can make this time of year miserable for many people; however, you can reduce your chances of sneezing through the season by following these tips to keep you and your family healthy.
Healthy prevention
There is no cure for the common cold or the flu; however, there are ways to help stop symptoms before they start, including the following:
Wash your hands — it's one of the best ways to prevent getting sick. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends scrubbing your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. To help children remember, tell them to wash their hands for as long as it takes to sing the "Happy Birthday" song twice. An alcohol-based hand sanitizer can help rub away germs if soap and water are not available.
— Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, and try not to touch your eyes, nose or mouth.
— Strengthen your body's defenses. Exercise at least 30 minutes a day and get enough sleep to help boost your immune system. Eating a well-balanced diet can also help ward off illness.
— Avoid people who have a cold or the flu, especially if they have a fever.
— Get vaccinated. The best way to prevent getting the flu is to get an influenza vaccine. People who are allergic to eggs or have had a severe reaction in the past should not get a flu shot. If you have questions, consult your health professional.
Even though the flu season has already started, it's not too late to get vaccinated. Doing so can help you reduce the chances of getting and transmitting the disease. Flu shots are available at most primary care physician offices, as well as at most pharmacies.
Flu vaccine myths and misconceptions
Flu myths sometimes keep people from getting the vaccine; however, there are many common misconceptions about the flu vaccine and how it impacts your body.
Myth: I will get the flu from the flu shot.
Facts: The flu shot, or inactivated flu vaccine, is made from killed virus and cannot give you the flu. It takes about 10 days to get protected against flu after you get the vaccine, so you are susceptible to the flu during that time period. Most people have no side effects from the flu vaccine; some people may have soreness, redness or tenderness at the injection site.
Page 2 of 2 - Myth: I never get sick, so I don't need the flu shot.
Facts: Each year in the United States, five percent to 20 percent of the population is infected with influenza. More than 200,000 people are hospitalized from flu-related complications each year, and up to 49,000 people die each year from complications of the flu. You may be one of the lucky people that are infected with the flu virus but able to fight off the illness – yet you are still able to spread the virus to others.
Myth: I can't pass the flu on to others; I'll stay home if I'm sick.
Fact: People can spread the flu three to five days before showing any symptoms.
Myth: The flu shot will cause Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS).
Facts: The swine flu vaccine in 1976 was associated with GBS. Since then, no flu vaccine has been clearly linked to GBS. Each year 3,000 to 6,000 persons will get GBS whether or not they get a flu shot. Influenza infection itself can lead to GBS.
Take care of yourself
If you do get sick this season, treat your symptoms and get plenty of rest. Stay home from work or school so you don't infect others. In most cases, you will feel better in a few weeks. In some instances, however, flu symptoms can turn serious. Contact your doctor if you experience prolonged fever, symptoms that last for more than 10 days, trouble breathing or pain or pressure in your chest.
Laura Macomber, RN, MSN, is infection control manager at Morton Hospital in Taunton.

Transit we need
I recently wrote city Councilman Bill Peduto in strong support of his campaign to expand commuter rail service ("All Aboard the East End Express?" Dec. 29). He requested I forward the same comments to you.
There is nothing we need more. The "T" is fine but leaves out the northern and eastern regions of our county entirely. I was delighted to discover that Mr. Peduto is cognizant of the surprising number of small, little-used railways that thread through our county and has detailed maps of them all on the walls of his office.
The route from Downtown to Oakland is the best place to start, but there are many more. The Allegheny Valley Railroad from the Strip to New Kensington is but another example. It was a commuter railway in the past. The hard and expensive work of obtaining rights of way, of routing and of grading the land have been done. We must preserve these lest they dissolve into bike trails that serve but a minuscule fraction of the population.
Commuter rail is fuel efficient over those big, lumbering buses. Maintenance is far lower. It takes traffic off the streets and is therefore faster for those who ride -- and safer. Communities with extensive rail systems prosper more and have fewer transit problems by far than those without.
We're in a false lull right now with low gas prices, making Mr. Peduto's case a harder sell, but make no mistake: The high gas prices are coming back. Everyone has tried just about everything else to revitalize Pittsburgh -- except this. Commuter rail is the thing to do for Pittsburgh and Allegheny County.

This review is from: Xigmatek Notebook cooler, Support up to 17" Wide Notebook Talisman D2012
Pros: Fits my 17" laptop, lightweight, stylish, quiet
Cons: Not as sturdy as the description said. It holds the laptop fine, but it feels like it would break if I pressed a key too hard. Low speed fan.
Other Thoughts: When I first used the cooler, the fan kicked on but was running at a low speed. I looked up the CFM for this product and it certainly wasn't matching it's own status quo. It cooled my laptop, but by a negligible difference,

• Carpeting must be bundled in four-foot lengths and not weigh more than 50 pounds.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 3SDM Thank You Great Valet andFront Desk Reception Room Service by Baker extraordinary September 2, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by MariaNYC Completely met my expectations! I have stayed at this hotel on about 5 different occasions and I have not been dissapointed once!! The rooms are super clean, comfortable, and the hotel is very well located. The staff is really professional and always checks to make sure I have everything I need. Additionally, the gym and pool are amazing! Gym has every machine you need... Also, the bar is always open and it has a cool vibe. My only complain is the food. I believe they could improve their options in the menu since the only healthy items are not tasty at all. Other than that, I am very happy with the hotel and will always book here whenever coming to Dallas. August 10, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by Danob horrific was promised star points credited to my account for all the trouble I had....it never happened, called hotel several times, no response June 19, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by Kim101075 Less than satisfied this time! We were in the Living Room Bar and were cut off and asked to leave because I couldn't remember the name of the beer I wanted when I ordered it. First off, I'm not a big beer drinker and it slipped my mind for a second. My friends and I were staying in the hotel for a fun girls night out. We were not drunk and we were spending a lot of money in the hotel. So being cut off and asked to leave I thought was ridiculous. We were much more lucid than about half the people in there. And if I was so drunk that I needed to be cut off, why then did the bartender, who turned me in, give me the beer?? We didn't make a scene, we just paid our tabs and left to our room, IN THE HOTEL. I have stayed at this hotel before and was very pleased and I have been to this bar several times and was very pleased but this time I was disappointed. Also I noticed that there were prom kids walking through the bar all night and coming in and sitting down. I thought it was a 21+ bar? Also I have noticed that when we checked in and checked out no one offered to get our bags. 3 women and not one person offered to help with our bags. I have stayed at lesser hotels and they brought my bags to my room. I wonder if maybe I should tryout some of the other high end hotels in Dallas for my next girls night out. Having said that, the food in Cook Hall was good and our waitress was great. Our waitress in The Living Room Bar was good, but she was busy, It was the bartender who was the problem. The girls who checked us in and out were nice. Kevin the bouncer was very friendly, understanding and professional. I was just sad to leave this time with a bad taste in my mouth, whereas I usually leave really pleased and happy and not caring about spending $500-$600 for the night. But this time I felt like it was money wasted. May 18, 2015

Staff responded, but noise continued for 20 minutes. Stayed at hotel for a total of 5.5 hours due to noise. Staff didn't really seem too concerned when i told them of problems.

Re: Caseless Torpedoes
Explosions that occur with that much energy and on that large a scale DO NOT occur that quickly.
And nothing will ever look like a gasoline explosion several degrees of latitude wide. Except in Star Trek.
Perhaps we are seeing the events in fast motion, much like we might be seeing most of the space battles in slow motion?
And massively out of character for Picard, or for Starfleet itself for that matter.
Again, how so? Our Starfleet heroes engage in mercy killings often enough, and typically without comment - except when it's Worf attempting the same, of course. And the typical TOS plotline had Kirk ultimately destroying the evil space monster, even if said monster knew how to speak English and could parse together an argument. Our heroes are killers by profession, on a mission to seek and destroy new life and civilizations unless those conform to certain narrow norms.
You are fully aware that there are more EXCEPTIONS to the rule than actual proofs, and is therefore not an applicable rule.
No, I'm not. In fact, I'm not aware of even a single exception to the absolute rule that unshielded ships inevitably die of Starfleet torpedo impact.
Torpedoes penetrating through weakened shields are witnessed on occasion. But AFAIK, there are exactly zero hits against actually unshielded targets, and the rule in fact is missing even the one exception that conventional wisdom requires for proof...
A "bit of trickery" in this case is "Get the tactical officer to weaken the shields so you can get through."
This is still supposed to "look like" something else altogether, something that can plausibly take place without direct help from Worf. The Maquis swallow it hook, line, sinker, rod and boat; even our heroes appear to think it's an impressive feat achieved by Ro thanks to her new training, not just something Worf made possible with a keypress. For all we know, when Picard says "Let it through", Worf merely refrains from doing anything; Data later establishes that the vessel has "penetrated our shields", not that it was "let in through our shields".
That glow is a distinctive feature of the torpedo itself and I think we should treat it as suggestive of something about how the weapon fundamentally works, not just an interesting feature tacked on because it would explain things.
The two aren't really different: how the weapon fundamentally works is certainly an interesting feature that is tacked on purely for dramatic purposes.
And yet in its non-weaponized use, torpedoes do not glow like fireballs.
Which makes it sound all the more as if the glow is a fighting function, something "interesting" that is "tacked on" for a special purpose but can easily be left out as well.
technically the only difference between a probe and a torpedo is (supposedly) their
Actually, in TNG at least, the two behave completely differently from the technical viewpoint. The probes always exhibit significant acceleration
sailing out of the tube, and this involves an oddly pulsating glow resembling the blast of a cheap fireworks rocket. Never mind the payload, the propulsion system appears fundamentally different, or at least is staged very differently from that of a torpedo.
Perhaps the prominent arching wings of the TNG probe are Vulcan-style warp engines that allow the probe to accelerate to high warp on its own once clear of the ship, explaining the many cases of long range probe study by instruments fired from a starship at standstill? And perhaps the classic torpedo has no comparable propulsion system and indeed works much like the backstage doubletalk suggests, with "handoff" fields that die out eventually and cannot be restarted.
They CAN'T be simply jazzed-up guided missiles
Why not? I don't see any reason to think otherwise. They just look a bit different from certain other guided missiles - exactly like certain UAVs today look like ancient guided missiles while their destructive counterparts have evolved into more modern shapes, with key differences in propulsion but still without any sort of fundamental change that would justify
calling them jazzed-up guided missiles.
Or, to cut through the triple negatives, a torpedo in most incarnations of Star Trek is undeniably is a projectile that leaves the launching tube the way submarines spit out torpedoes today, and reaches the destination in projectile form after guided flight involving maneuvering. What happens at the destination is unclear, although antimatter annihilation is suggested; what happens en route looks colorful and interesting, but does not alter the basic nature of the weapon as a projectile delivered from A to B.
Whether TOS weapons are different is anybody's guess; in theory, TOS could represent an interlude, and things like projectile-type photon torpedoes and dilithium-focus warp cores might be briefly absent. But interludes, while interesting as a concept, are not dictated by the evidence. To the contrary, we occasionally hear statements about the static nature of Treknology (impulse drives remaining the same for centuries, phasers being invented in/after the 22nd century already), perhaps indicating that mankind in fact invents very little and instead inherits ancient ideas and technologies from older cultures - along with the principle of keeping those technologies alive and backward compatible (down to details like photon torpedo caliber) for centuries.

While on a visit to New York, Dickey of Hair Rules wrangled me into his seat for a haircut (and let's be honest, I've always wanted him to do my hair). Using a method where he first straightens the hair, he gave me an awesomely exaggerated shape that kept my length in the front and cropped my hair short on the sides. Because my roots were grown out, the color faded in this reverse ombre that inspired me to call this cut "The Flame."

Sales tax revenue in February grows by a healthy 5.8 percent
Texas collected $2.2 billion in sales tax last month, a healthy 5.8 percent increase over the state's haul in February 2013, Comptroller Susan Combs said Wednesday.
"Growth in tax collections was seen across all major economic sectors including oil and gas, wholesale trade and the services sector," Combs said in a written statement.
In December, Combs estimated sales tax revenue would increase in the current fiscal year by 3.5 percent over the one that ended Aug. 31.
But for the past three months — December through February — the growth rate has consistently been above that mark. In January, for instance, growth was 8.3 percent.
But in the budget year's first quarter, growth in two of the three months was less than 3.5 percent.
One thing is clear:
"Sales tax revenue continues its growth streak and has now increased for 47 consecutive months," Combs said.

COVINGTON - Eastside's Drew Ellwanger and Nijyl Chavis are getting the chance to swim at the high school level.The pair of swimmers, who compete year-round through USA Swimming, will participate in their first high school event tonight at Johnson Park in a meet that includes Salem, Rockdale and Starr's Mill. They won't be swimming for team points, but their times do count toward qualifying for the state meet in February. Ellwanger swims with the Rockdale Riptides, and his father, Gregg Ellwanger, is a coach at the Covington YMCA. Chavis swims for the DeKalb Aquatics Center. "These two swimmers should do really well," Gregg Ellwanger said. "We're real excited. We have a lot of good swimmers in this area but don't have the chance to swim at the high school level." In order to represent Eastside, the swimmers had to get the support of the school. The elder Ellwanger said Eastside athletic director Dennis Roddenberry has been very supportive of their efforts.

Nike+ heart rate monitor for Apple iPod coming June 1First revealed last year following the release of Apple's fifth-generation iPod nano, the Nike + iPod Compatible Heart Rate Monitor is finally set for a U.S. release of June 1.
The news comes from a "Nike+ Pro" on the shoemaker's official forums. While the person did not reveal why the hardware has taken so long to arrive, they did announce the U.S. release, which will be followed by other international releases this summer.
"It will officially launch (in the U.S.) on June 1, 2010, although it may reach some retail outlets slightly sooner," the Nike official, named Clover, wrote. "It will reach Canadian markets in June and will launch internationally in summer 2010, exact date to be determined."
The person said they were not able to reveal the product's price, color, or device compatibility. However, an update to the Nike + iPod user guide last September stated that only the fifth-generation iPod nano was compatible with the new heart rate monitor.
Last year, people familiar with the matter told AppleInsider that the accessory was initially expected to launch alongside the new iPod nano. However, it was delayed until June for unknown reasons.
Evidence of the heart rate monitor can be found in the Nike+ menu on an iPod. The "Heart Rate Monitor" selection is available under the Nike + iPod settings. There, users can wirelessly link the device to their iPod nano.
Released last year, the latest iPod nano has a built-in pedometer for fitness-minded users. The device's built-in accelerometer helps to keep track of steps and meet fitness goals, with options for daily goals or constant step counting. Users can also track their runs and performance through the Nike + iPod sport kit, which includes a wireless sensor to be placed in the insole of a runner's shoe.
