Let's Discuss the Romulan Bird of Prey!

Re: Let's Discuss the Romulan Bird of Prey!
Well, to be honest, as interested as I am in the idea, I was hesitant to reply as I didn't want to distract from responses to my posted calculations. But since those have turned up crickets, I feel free to pursue my curiosity about your speculation.
Something has to stimulate the warp nacelles into making the warp field. What that something is is up for speculation.
Gamma rays seem like a strange choice as they are, like you said, just highly energetic photons. And they're part of M/AM, fusion, fission and nuclear decay because these reactions jiggle the protons pretty hard and all light comes from the jiggling of charged particles. And because of the energies involved, those jigglings are violent, thus the photon wavelengths are tiny, thus they are gamma rays. But gamma rays turn back into particles as soon as they're able, especially from M/AM as the energies are so high.
Gamma rays interact with matter only very sparsely as their tiny wavelengths basically requires them to ram head-on into a particle for anything to happen. The only thing that stands still long enough for that are nuclei and nuclei are very tiny targets. The more energetic the gamma ray, the smaller the wavelength, the more head-on the collision must be for the photon to interact. Thus, paradoxically enough, more energetic gamma rays would supply less energy to the warp nacelles. (I've not calculated this, but it feels right.)
So, IMHO, gamma rays seem to be a terrible method of energizing anything. Especially if it's something that needs high amounts of power, like warp nacelles making warp fields. Of course, you could do worse --neutrinos or dark matter comes to mind as worse.
Further, though I will not pretend to be an expert in any way, my understanding is that the amount of ambient gamma ray energy in interstellar space is pretty small. With some research we could probably find an estimate for the amount of gamma ray radiation per square meter received in low Earth orbit. That should give a lower bound on what to expect between the stars.
Still, none of these statements is evidence against gamma photons as being the initializing particle for warp fields. Indeed, I could probably conjure several supporting features of "gamma ray energizers" for the warp nacelles.
Probably the biggest hurdle, from my perspective, is transferring whatever gamma rays are produced in your reactor to the nacelles. Since they don't interact with matter well, I find it difficult to think of a method to direct it. However, once you have high energy plasma, making gamma rays is easy via bremsstrahlung. So maybe directing the gammas made in the reactor is not needed?
What made you think of gamma rays in the first place? And what precisely do you expect them to do? (Those questions might sound snotty but I mean them earnestly.)
The discussion about fusion and lithium cracking is rather interesting. It hangs together well. But I don't buy that the 23rd century would still be using lithium-produced tritium as fuel. Deuterium-tritium (DT) fusion is an ugly reaction. It produces quite a bit of energy but most of it goes to neutrons: ugly, nasty radiation. The only reason we would do it is because it's comparatively easy to do: tritium doesn't like being tritium and will take any excuse to be anything else. It is far better to use a catalysed deuterium-deuterium (CatD) reaction: approximately the same amount of energy is released but a smaller percentage is put into neutrons; plus its only slightly harder than (DT). At least, as compared to proton-catalysed-deuterium (pCatD) which is much harder but much better. So though I totally buy that the author intended the lithium cracking station to mean a tritium breeding station, I don't buy that that's the in-universe explanation.
However, though I can't think of a method off hand, I see no reason why dilithium could not have some property that would be useful for increasing the efficiency of fusion reactions....or, perhaps it's able to take fusion plasma and modify it to be more like M/AM plasma, making it better suited for use in the warp nacelles. This could be the elusive "energizer" circuit. Using a dilithium crystal to increase the energy of a fusion plasma to M/AM specs by sacrificing total plasma particle density? (No free lunch!) And then, from there, the plasma would goto the intermix chamber? Maybe through another set of dilithium crystals?
When I hear the word 'battery', I think of a volume of material that has energy stored in it, an energy that does needs very little coaxing to be released. IE a material that has some potential energy that needs only be given a path for release. Maybe that stored energy is rechargeable and maybe it's not. (Definitions of this feeling get slippery quickly.) By which I mean to say, IMHO, "auxiliary" power is fusion and "battery" power comes from some energy storage medium.
"Battery power" is not likely to be a chemical storage process --neither ion transfer nor oxidization-- or a thermal storage process --big blocks of white-hot metal attached to heat engines. In both these cases the energy density seems too low to do what's needed and still fit within the confines of the Enterprise. That leaves nuclear storage processes --decay, isomers or fission. Any of which might be controlled with judicious use of quantum xeno effects.
Of these, nuclear isomer batteries seem the most promising as they could be recharged. They'd also remain stable without input power. Unfortunately, I know of no method to induce controlled energy release from isomers. Still, it's the 23rd century! They should have a better understanding than I.
Without a highly efficient anti-xeno effect generator, I don't see nuclear decay as giving much in the way of power. Currently, this is what's meant by a "nuclear battery" and it's what's used on spacecraft like Pioneer 11 or Curiosity. But the power density is dismal compared to what the Enterprise expects.
A small, simple fission reactor might work. It'd be best with a xeno effects field keeping its volatiles in stasis until needed. But it could only be viable if the whole thing could also be well shielded within a relatively small volume. Perhaps using critical-fluid uranium-hexaflouride as both core and working fluid? In a three phase thermoacoustic brayton cycle? The problem here is the amount of time it would give you: years instead of days. Of course, special care with geometry would solve that quandary. Again, it's the 23rd century.
Of course, if I'm accepting simple, turn-key fission reactors as "battery power" then a turn-key fusion reactor would work, too. For example: a supersonic shock confinement reactor. Basically, it's a specially shaped shock tube. Once the deuterium gas is going super or hypersonic in the tube (not sure which) it hits a set of mounds mounted on the sides that force shock waves to culminate to the center of the tube. Where the waves intersect, deuterium gas (now plasma) fuses. The reaction is inefficient but probably implementable in the 23rd century... Even so, this seems more like "secondary auxiliary" than "battery" power.
....This post is way longer than I intended.

Playing a clothing-challenged werewolf on "True Blood," Joe Manganiello is used to baring his bod week in and week out on the hit HBO series. Now he's about to take his flesh-flashing act to the big screen, when "Magic Mike" debuts June 28 in theaters. Manganiello stars alongside Channing Tatum, Matthew McConaughey, Alex Pettyfer and Matthew Bomer in the male stripper extravaganza that is loosely based on Tatum's own experiences as a male dancer in Florida. Wonderwall caught up with Manganiello on Thursday night at a launch party for the Samsung Galaxy S III at a private residence in Beverly Hills, Calif., and asked him why he took the role, what he did to prepare and how he learned all his moves.
Wonderwall: When you first got the script for the role, what did you think about playing a male stripper?
Joe Manganiello: I was flattered that I was handed a script with a character named "Big D--- Richie." I looked at what was going on in it, and I don't want to give anything away to you, but there is some pretty crazy stuff that there's no way to pass up. Then when I heard [Steven] Soderbergh was directing, I was super-excited to work on something as grimy and crazy as this.
RELATED: Hottest Remake Hunks
WW: Was it a little intimidating at first to play a stripper?
JM: I mean, I play a naked werewolf running around growling at people, so at this point it's just par for the course.
WW: What was your workout regimen like? How did you get in shape for the role?
JM: Well, you know for "True Blood" you have to stay in pretty good shape to be naked all the time like that, so it was really just trading out running or the elliptical for dancing. We had dance rehearsals every day for a couple of months.
WW: Did you have to go to a male strip show or anything to research?
JM: Oh no, I didn't have to. I actually have a good friend of mine who, as it turns out, was a male stripper in Dallas in the '90s, so I just went and hung out with him for lunch. I worked in clubs from the time I was 16, and I come from a pretty athletic background, so all the pieces kind of got put together.
RELATED: Channing Tatum: 'I Know I'm Not the Best Actor'
WW: In the cast, who do you think was the best stripper?
JM: Well, Channing [Tatum] did it for a living before he was an actor, so Channing is on a different level as a dancer and the rest of us are just trying not to embarrass our families.
WW: Did he teach you any of his moves?
JM: No, they choreographed all of our stuff, so there was stripper boot camp about a month before we started shooting. We worked it out with them, which consisted of doing hip rolls and body rolls for hours at a time.
WW: Did the entire cast take the boot camp together?
JM: We started out individually to learn the basic money-making moves, then we all got together to work on the military routine.

Photos: Minor league report – a look at how 12 of the Rangers' best prospects fared this week (May 14-20)
Photo: Michael Ainsworth/Staff Photographer
Jurickson Profar, SS, double-A Frisco: Profar pushed his hitting streak to 29 games before an 0-for-3 effort Sunday finally brought it to an end. During the streak, Profar hit .328/.368/.533 with 21 strikeouts and 10 walks -- not outrageous numbers for a hitting streak of that sort, but still excellent for a 19-year-old playing a traditionally defensive position. The wunderkind ranks 18th in the Texas League in OPS despite being the league's youngest player, and if you limit the sample to players age 22 or younger, he's 6th.

I think you can see her nipple. Are we allowed to see her nipple? Like, does that put you on a watch list somewhere?
well, all I know is that when I go to the pool/beach, I too wear 5 inch heels, hair is done, jewelry one and FULL make up….so staged it's sickening….she is just GROSS!
Why does she look like Heather from Rock of Love?
I thought the same damn thing since day one!!!
she makes heathers natrual aged self look good!
Thats actually not a nipple but where she is where padded inserts inside of her padded push up
realityishardtits if you don't see nipplage on 12 and 40 you need to get your eyes checked. there is more also but those 2 shots are very clear
U can still see the padded inserts even if her nips are showing , her boobs are like 3 inches away from the inside of that top and sry but only a few pictures of her is enough, I feel a mix of disgust, pity and stickiness for her .
naturally I too would sport massive heels to the pool
And let's not forget the makeup. I casually put on a full face of stage makeup and fake eyelashes when I go to the pool/beach too.
I personally think she bears a high resemblance to a young Farrah Fawcett or Brittney Spears, maybe even a young Heather Locklear back in their heyday!!!
how is it that her boob is pushed up so far, yet there's a gaping space between her boob and that bra?
say what u want about her but…I'D LOVE TO FUCK HER!!!
it must be exhausting being that fake. her parents must be so proud.
Why is everyone making such a big deal out of this kid and her loser pedophile grandfather? She looks like the leftovers from a gangbang.

Police and safety advocates hope Gov. Pat Quinn signs a proposal to require all passengers in a vehicle to wear seat belts.
Police and safety advocates hope Gov. Pat Quinn signs a proposal to require all passengers in a vehicle to wear seat belts.
Currently, people in the front seat of a vehicle have to use their seat belts, but backseat riders must buckle up only if they're under 18.
The measure headed for Quinn's desk, House Bill 219, would require that seat belts be fastened no matter where a passenger is sitting.
Bob Nika, who has been a drivers' education teacher for 30 years and currently teaches at Southeast High School, said he already teaches his students to make sure their backseat passengers buckle up.
"The person not belted in the backseat doesn't love the person in the front seat very much, because they don't care enough ... to make sure that they don't come in between those seats and cause them injury in case of an accident," Nika said. "That's the epitome of selfishness."
Passengers become projectiles
Springfield Deputy Police Chief Cliff Buscher also believes the legislation is a good idea. Backseat passengers become projectiles if they're not buckled up in an accident, he said.
"When I was a kid, people used to cut them (seat belts) out of their cars," Buscher said. "Today, most kids wear them automatically. Usually, it's a lot better safety-wise. I think most of them are wearing them anyway."
The Springfield area's entire legislative delegation --- Sens. Larry Bomke, R-Springfield; Sam McCann, R-Carlinville; Bill Brady, R-Bloomington; Reps. Raymond Poe, R-Springfield, Rich Brauer, R-Petersburg; Jim Watson, R-Jacksonville; Wayne Rosenthal, R-Morrisonville, and Bill Mitchell, R-Forsyth --- voted against the bill.
Bomke said he wears a seat belt if he sits in the back seat.
"But I think adults ought to be able to make that decision," Bomke said. "During the debate, I don't recall statistics being shared on how many lives it might save or accidents reduced if seat belts were required in the backseat. I suspect it might save lives. In the front seat, you're dealing with the windshield."
Quinn's office did not respond to a question about whether the governor would sign the bill, but his spokespeople typically say Quinn plans to carefully review legislation before he decides.
IDOT supports idea
The Illinois Department of Transportation believes everyone in a vehicle should wear one, said spokesman Josh Kauffman.
"Illinois is at historic highs in regards to statewide safety belt usage rates," he said, pointing to a 93 percent usage figure people in the front seats of vehicles. "This is an historic achievement. We hope that trend continues. Obviously we understand that safety belts do save lives."
Nika and Buscher said they have seen or heard about accidents in which backseat passengers have been seriously injured because they weren't wearing their seat belts.
Page 2 of 2 - "I have a can of tomato soup in my room. I pick it up. I tell them I can throw this 45 miles per hour. I'm old, so I can't throw very fast," Nika said. "And I get about 3 feet from them. I said, 'Now if I threw this as hard as I could and hit you right in the face with it, would that hurt you?' And they go, 'Yeah.'
"So what's any different from a human being sitting in the backseat sitting there -- they weigh 150 pounds, they're going 45 miles an hour -- and you get T-boned and all that force of that 150-pound person comes up and you bump heads even though you have a seat belt on. Why would you allow that to happen?"

Evil Reincarnated
The company United Nations Space Armament (UNSA) has long been Earths standard for weapons and supply development. Their products are found everywhere in the Earth Army and Exploration Division (EAED). But the UNSA has always been shrouded in secrecy to stay one step ahead of other private space exploration manufacturers. Their most secret base of development and storage, E-37 on Europa has been kept under wraps for a number of years. What goes on there is anyone's guess. However, UNSA has recently lost contact with this base for an unknown reason. Only one communication has reached Earth from the frozen moon of Jupiter, a frantic transmission by a bloodied personnel begging for help. His call for help was cut short by an unknown entity.
You are an elite private task force commander and have been sent to Europa to find out what has happened to this fabled base. With experience in many major battles and private operations, both on planet and off, you are the most qualified individual UNSA has to offer. Little do you know, just how wrong this mission may go, and how it just may be your last.
Armed with the UNSA's top weapons, you will have to survive on Europa's base and find out what has happened here.
Evil Reincarnated is a FPS horror game. Players will be Kamron Fulke, a commander stranded on Europa in U.N.S.A. E-37 with his team. The player will have to fight to survive, and find allies that somehow were resistant to the attack.
If you would like to be a part of Jagged Edge, e-mail me at lord_vipes@hotmail, or PM me.
Our forums are located here: Z15.invisionfree.com
Process on the mod has slowed down a bit. Due to some members have school, others work, or life just got in the way. We might have lost a few team members as well. So far confirmed on those who have stayed is of course me, Mualama, and Al. Pyro has left, and I send him the best wishes on anything he does in the future. The other team members are inactive, so I have no clue if they are still with us.
On the better side of life, we have a new member! Do not have his ModDB account name, so I cant link you to him just yet. Sorry. He will be one of our 3D modelers.
I have been revising the story and adding to it in the past months, and Mualama has been busy mapping away, as you can tell by the new Images.
Don't give out on us just yet! We may have not had a Demo out when we planned, but we will have one hopefully before the end of 2010's summer.
Welcome to The Armory, the complete listing of ER's weapons. Pictures will be added as they come.
Level 2 is still being worked on, but the mapping may be finished soon!
More members and concept drawings! Read and find out!
Evil Reincarnated is advancing at a promising rate but the project still needs personnel!
No articles were found matching the criteria specified. We suggest you try the article list with no filter applied, to browse all available. Post article and help us achieve our mission of showcasing the best content from all developers.
We are looking for a material artist, and character modelers for Evil Reincarnated, if anyone is interested in the job contact me at email@example.com and Vipes at firstname.lastname@example.com.
If I get some spare time away from school maybe I could do a simple project for yeah on the weapon-side (like something easy to start). I'm use maya and have a decent amount of UT experience :D. I say easy because I may get time restricted if a big school project comes up.
I'm really liking the mod direction, just hoping you can get a full dedicated team behind it :D
Excellent, always good to have fans join the team. We have a weapons modeler named Pyronius already but he obviously needs a lot of help because this is a very big project. You can contact him at ( firstname.lastname@example.com ). I have already contacted him to tell him about you. Report to him for project information. If you have any more questions you can reach me at ( firstname.lastname@example.com ) and Vipes at ( firstname.lastname@example.com ).
Sorry, I haven't been around MODDB recently XD. I just hit my break and I'm trapped on this ****** comp till late next week when I head back. I'll try to contact someone when I get back, but I'll reply to any msgs I get on moddb in the meantime. This computer can't handle anything XD.
This mod looks interesting, also great the you are making new weapons.
Ah yes, but we need a 3D modeler who can build the weapons... If anyones interested contact us.
seams nice !! but do I nead the game UT3 or can I just download some files ??
As far as I am aware UT3 does not have its own version of ioquake3 like the Quake 3 Arena Engine does. I know people may want it, but its just too new of a game, and I doubt it even will be possible. Well possible in the sence that Epic would allow such a thing.
You will need the UT3 game as that is what this is building off of.
We're back in development. I'm in charge of Level Design and Editing, and Vipes is in charge of the project as a whole. If you would like to join the team for Evil Reincarnated let us know. You can reach me at email@example.com and Vipes at firstname.lastname@example.com. We're looking for programmers, 3d designers-weapons, characters, meshes, and other positions. Join the team!

Locally sourced food, like WiFi, can either be found at a café or stolen from the neighbors. Avoid bandwidth banditry with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $10 for $20 worth of farm-to-table cuisine for brunch or lunch (a $20 value)
- $15 for $30 worth of farm-to-table cuisine for dinner (a $30 value)
Starters such as fried green tomatoes ($6) precede the café's signature loaded sweet potatoes ($4.50–$7), including a veggie variety garnished with broccoli, roast red pepper, and green onion. Entrees such as smoky meatloaf ($16) or grilled pork chops ($16) round out dinners. Rotating brunch menus—served Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.—can include sweet-potato waffles, grits, and made-to-order omelets. See Sweet Potato Cafe's online menu.
Sweet Potato Cafe
Leaves of vegetables and herbs sprout from the ground near Sweet Potato Cafe, providing the arsenal of ingredients that chefs Karen Patton and George Pollard draw from as they construct their seasonal, upscale dishes. The chefs—who boast decades of baking experience and finesse with Caribbean, French, and American Southern cuisines—pluck a daily crop from the onsite garden, bolstering their fresh harvest with organic ingredients, such as cage-free eggs and grass-fed beef, that are sourced from nearby sustainable farms. The verdant bounty yields a rotating menu of dishes, many of which star the sweet potato and its natural entourage of nutrients.
The chefs till their lush garden just beyond the eatery, which is housed inside a renovated, 1930s craftsman-style home. Rich, burnt-orange walls, dangling lights, and lustrous wooden floors and tables modernize the dwelling, but every other Friday evening, live jazz music and telegraphed ticker-tape readings enhance the historic ambiance.
The Gist
What some people are buzzing about:
81% of 471 customers recommend

This lipstick is a very pretty sheer to medium coverage bright fuchsia-pink shade with pretty sparkle (it isn't gritty, though). It's the type of shade that would look great on anyone. The formula is smooth, creamy, and moisturizing and feels lovely on the lips. The lipstick itself lasts a good 3 hours on me (which I know even for a lustre is kind of sad), but it leaves a pretty stain on the lips that lasts quite a while. The only qualm I have is that it leaves glitter particles on the lips when it fades, which is a little bit odd but not terrible or enough to take off any lippies. All in all, it's a beautiful lipstick.

This is one of my favourite Mac lipsticks!! It has a lustre finish, which feels really nice on your lips, it also lasts for a long time too. The shade really suits my skintone and it makes me look flawless.

I think Milan Mode is one of MACs most underrated lipsticks. I know it was from a collection way back, but seeing as its a permanent shade I've not heard of it before I had purchased it. It is a lustre formula, which is one of my favourite formulas MAC do other than the amplified one because that's beautiful too.
Anyway, its a gorgeous sheer fuschia pink lipstick with a slightly purple or magenta undertone in there, when you push it up in the tube its got loads of tiny silver and pinky purple glitter in it, but you don't end up with glittery lips, it just gives a nice sheen gloss.
Normally, I find the biggest downfall of the lustre lipsticks is that they don't have a great longevity to them, maybe one to two hours max. However, with Milan Mode this simply isn't the case. It stains my lips with the gorgeous fuschia shade and wears very well for several hours. It has become one of my go to staples for days when I don't feel like doing much with my face but it makes it look as though I've put some effort it.
Overall, I love it, thoroughly recommend and would repurchase.

This is my signature shade. I am on my 7th tube. It is a gorgeous mauvey pink. It stays true on the lip. It wears like iron but is not at all drying. I have wasted money trying to match cheaper brands. It's well worth the $15 price. This shade can ONLY be bought in MAC stores. Not at MAC counters at department stores,FYI. I bought Lipstick Queen's Jean Queen today, as it is a similar shade. Very disappointed. Although pretty, it has NO lasting power. I'm thinking of hoarding a dozen tubes of Milan Mode in case of discontinuation. This from a girl who has never before bought the same lippy twice.

This is a gorgeous fuchsia shade! It gives a beautiful pop of colour on my lightly tanned skin, but also works well when I'm not so tanned. I think I can get away with this shade as an everyday shade, but that's just me and I do enjoy being daring with my lip colour. I do love my bright lipsticks and this is my favourite of them all! It's not too shimmery either and it stains the lips which I absolutely adore. Perfect is an understatement for this lipstick! I highly recommend it.

Milan Mode is a sheer fuchsia pink with warm undertones and fine shimmer. The color is really nice and it actually shows up on my fairly pigmented lips without being to crazy, its sheer enough for daytime but definitely buildable for night time. The shimmer is just enough to add dimension to your lips but isn't gritty. I have to apply a moisturizing lip balm over or under this lip stick because I find it does dry out my lips a little bit. I'm saying that I will buy this again, but it definitely will not be in the near future because I like to try new lip products rather than repurchasing favorites.

I recently purchased this on a whim without seeing it in person at a MAC store or counter and with only the online swatch as my guide. But it actually turned out to be a pretty awesome lipstick.
Milan Mode is a bright fuschia pink with lots of red undertones that darken up the color. It has little bits of glitter in it, but they're not chunky and don't make the color overly dramatic. It's a lustre, so it's sheer enough for daytime. However, it looses a lippie for me because it's a tad too sheer for my taste. It's such a bright, gorgeous pink that I don't really want my real lips to show through it, but unfortunately, they do. It's also not terribly long wearing. After an hour or two, the color starts to fade and you may feel the need to reapply. Also, if you are dark skinned like me, this may look a tad too bright and you may need a brown lip liner to darken up the color a bit, like I did.
Like most of the lustre finish lipsticks, this feels almost like a very pigmented lip gloss that happened to be in lipstick form. However, I really like the color and the fact that it doesn't suck all the moisture out of my lips (though to be fair, it's not terribly moisturizing either). It's unique and not quite like any of the other pink lipsticks I have. I will probably repurchase when I run out.

I got this at back 2 mac and i love it so much. The colour is a nice sheer deep pink and a lip gloss finish which me love. I can pull this off as an everyday wear its a lipgloss in a lipstick!!!! It lasted on me 4 about 5 hours and it stains nicely on the lips after a few hours which me love.

This lipstick is quite sheer, but has good colour. A nice bright hot pink, with silver mica to give a bit of a sparkle (which, personally, I would have preferred to not have). Lasts an average duration. Feels quite good on the lips.

Finally got this shade. A bit disappointing - as i dont feel i will wear this one much. I have London Life which is a a full bodied deep pink with sparkle which i find more flattering than Milan Mode which is more sugary pink with sparkle. Good even application but i will not re-purchase.
