|J Mónaco
|M Fish
- - FISH 1-6 3-6 - GAME, SET & MATCH - Monaco streaks towards the end, Fish opening the game with a double fault before sending a backhand wide down the line and a backhand into the net to hand the Argentine three match points ... And what a brilliant volley to finish on from Monaco, as he dives down to his left for the reactionary stop volley that lands just over the other side of the net
- - FISH 1-6 3-5 - Normal service is resumed from Monaco on, well, on serve. He races through a pretty cruisey game to leave himself potentially just one game away from the semi-finals of the Miami Masters. Fish will have to serve to stay in the match next ...
- - FISH 1-6 3-4 - BREAK - Monaco earns himself an immediate break back point when Fish fails to land an admittedly tricky low forehand volley, which he instead puts into the net. And sure enough he does re-establish the break lead when Fish gets a racquet to a lob but can do nothing with it. The Argentine literally jumps for joy at winning that game!
- - FISH 1-6 3-3 - BREAK - Once again there are a few signs that Monaco is getting nervy as he misses what should be an easy volley to allow Fish to go 0-30 up against serve. The Argentine fights back and levels with a forehand winner down the line after a 21-stroke rally but Fish earns himself a break back point from deuce when a defensive lob goes long from Monaco. And Fish does break when the Argentine sends a forehand wide down the line
- - FISH 1-6 2-3 - Fish is forced to produce a huge backhand approach followed by a cross court forehand volley winner (after an incredible get from Monaco) to level at 30-30 and get himself out of another tricky spot on serve. And the American goes on to hold from there after consecutive mis-hit forehands from Monaco
- - FISH 1-6 1-3 - There are just a few signs of hope for Fish for the first sign as Monaco finds himself at 30-30 on serve. But the Argentine comes up with a cracking second serve to set up a game point before finding a backhand winner down the line, which whizzs past a flailing Fish, to hold
- - FISH 1-6 1-2 - Fish looks to be cruising towards a comfortable service hold at 40-15 up but back-to-back groundstroke errors allow Monaco to level up at deuce. Fish also squanders a game point with a forehand into the net. But he does manage to save a break point, when Monaco send a forehand long, before going on to hold
- - FISH 1-6 0-2 - A love service hold from Monaco consolidates the break in this second set, Fish sending a forehand into the net to concede the game. The Argentine is playing some awesome tennis!
- - FISH 1-6 0-1 - BREAK - Now the luck is going Monaco's way as well, as he opens the second set with a passing shot that catches the top of the tape and bounces over the Fish racquet. A forehand winner right on the sideline from Monaco brings up three more break points ... Fish saves the first with an ace and the second with a forehand winner. But Monaco breaks with a curling lob that should have landed well wide, only to curl back onto the line!
- - FISH 1-6 - SET - A very solid service game once again from Monaco as he cruises through another hold to wrap up the set. The Argentine has got 96 per cent of his first serves in in that opening set! Very impressive from the birthday boy, who came into this match high on confidence after wins over Gael Monfils and Andy Roddick
- - FISH 1-5 - BREAK - Fish thumps a forehand drive volley into the net to squander a game point and instead allows Monaco back to deuce. The Argentine goes on to earn himself another break point ... which once again he takes full advantage of, doing brilliantly well to get a smash back into court before Fish drills a backhand passing shot well wide across court. Monaco will serve for the opening set next ...
- - FISH 1-4 - Monaco's first serve is really firing in the early stages of this clash. It's not the fastest on tour but he has enough pace and the variety is more than enough to keep Fish on his toes so that the Argentine can clean up behind it more often than not. And he goes on to hold to 30 when Fish's reactionary lob drops long of the baseline
- - FISH 1-3 - Much better from Fish as he cruises out to 40-0 before dumping a backhand into the net as the only blemish on his first hold of the match
- - FISH 0-3 - A very speedy service hold from Monaco consolidates the break, the game sealed with a huge first serve that Fish can only return long.
- - FISH 0-2 - BREAK - Monaco allows himself a grin after completely framing a backhand volley but just doing enough that the fast-approaching Fish cannot quite get to it in time. A couple of points later, the Argentine gets a break point when Fish sends a backhand into the net. And sure enough, Monaco does grab the break after another Fish error, this time a wild forehand long of the baseline
- - As has been pointed out on the comments below, today is actually Juan Monaco's birthday. The Argentine is now 28-years-old!
- - FISH 0-1 - Fish gets up a little tentatively after doing the splits in the very first point of the game. But he bounces back pretty quickly and even gets himself 15-30 in front when Monaco hits a forehand long followed by a forehand into the net. A half-volley drop shot from Fish levels at deuce but Monaco goes on to hold without facing a break point when the American hits long
- - Righto, the players are ready and it will be Monaco to get the clash underway by serving first ...
- - But Fish and Monaco are now out on court, going through their warm-up as we speak. So we should be getting underway in about five minutes time
- - These two players might have expected to be on court about an hour ago but Maria Sharapova and Caroline Wozniacki have only just completed their epic women's semi-final, which was the first match on court. Sharapova outlasts Wozniacki in Miami semi
- - Two of those meetings have been on hard courts and two on clay with both players securing one win apeice on each surface - so there is little to choose between the two players on that front
- - These two have faced each other four times before, splitting the head-to-heads at two wins apeice. Fish won their first two encounters, at the 2005 Australian Open and in Houston in 2006, while Monaco won both their meetings last year - at the World Team Championships in Dusseldorf and at the Paris Masters, although the win at the Paris Masters came when Fish retired at 2-1 in the third set
- - Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal are already through to tomorrow's semi-finals, both having triumphed in three sets yesterday over Janko Tipsarevic and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga respectively
- - Hello and welcome to LIVE coverage from the third of the Miami Masters quarter-finals between eighth seed Mardy Fish and 21st seed Juan Monaco

i like your style, cool pic
Beautiful scene! The water looks great.
The take on this environment is really fresh.
What was the inspiration behind the building designs?
What was the inspiration behind the building designs?
Thanks! Hmm, I think it was a mix of Tudor architecture and Japanese. I used no references, which actually made it suffer, since references are vital for correct inspiration.
Awesome colours, awesome wood and AWESOME water!!!
I love the love the way this is done. What appears simple isn't, the attention to detail in the right spots make sit look seamless. Great skill and very admirable.
Really beautiful artwork! and I love those trees as well as the buildings, they have a Japanese feel to them .
Thank you Yep yep, that was unintentional actually haha But sweet!
Those trees!! AWESOMENESS moite (^^^)!!
This is so beautiful I fell in love with the colors.
Oh wow, this is gorgeous.
Nice Picture Steven ~
Hm, what I could say to help you, perhaps the lightning should hit the objects somewhat more, I have a feeling they are a bit out placed because their colours looks somewhat 'normal' on a place were is present a vibrant lightning. The second is more of a nitpicking lala~ but adding depth to windows could help the buildings looks more realistic
Beautiful image.
Well done!
Ooooo, it's like the Venice canals meets German architecture!! I like!

Tips to Boost Senior Nutrition
Posted on Mar 25, 2013 in Senior Health
For older adults experiencing decreased appetite or waning interest in food, a few simple adjustments to your cooking habits can help, according to Cathy Hazlewood, R.D., CDE, outpatient dietitian and diabetes educator at Mills-Peninsula Health Services.
Keeping up good nutrition is important at all stages of life, but senior nutrition is especially vital. Older adults need fewer calories, so they should eat nutritious foods that count, particularly fruits, vegetables and dairy.
Tips for eating well:
Use fresh herbs and spices (not just salt!)
As we age, our ability to taste and smell is diminished. Making food more flavorful with seasonings and spices can boost appetite and mealtime enjoyment, Hazlewood says. The delicate flavors of fresh basil, dill and mint are best added at the end of cooking, whereas thyme and rosemary benefit from longer cooking times.
Smell your food and enjoy the way it looks
Taste also involves smell, so take time to smell your food to boost its appeal. Enjoy your meals slowly and remember to also appreciate the presentation.
Organize a weekly meal with friends
Get together with neighbors or friends for a weekly potluck or restaurant outing. Dining alone is a common reason for poor eating, so share meals whenever possible.
Cook simple meals or go raw
Choose two-person recipes and simple to prepare meals such as salads with easy-to-digest butter lettuce, canned garbanzo beans for protein or grilled chicken breast that can be frozen and repurposed in other meals.

Edge of Thorns 2 - Pt 9Part 9Like hell am I going to let him slide on this one."What's the rush?" he asked, crossing his arms. "I thought you'd want to get more interviews. This is a pretty big story, isn't it?""Yeah, well," Scott said nervously. "I think I've got enough for the Citizen, so...""Mr. Prescott Dasari!"The report cringed and slowly turned around. Nathan prepared to brace himself for whatever his partner had gotten himself into, but was surprised that the woman approaching them was smiling. And beautiful. Very, very beautiful. It didn't matter that her costume of choice was Miss Piggy, she was the sexiest Miss Piggy he'd ever seen. And possibly the first black one."Prescott!" she called again, stopping in front of him with a wide, gorgeous smile, a few of her dark curls falling into her face. "Long time no see! How's life treating you?""Hey Gloria," Scott sighed, clearly not as enthused. "Things have been good. Still single.""Awe, poor baby."Despite their outward fri

"He has a gun, you have nothing, and if it's her time...""No!" Nathan jumped to his feet, determined to stay and somehow rescue her. But his sudden movement caught the attention of the gunman on the stage and he whipped his weapon towards him, firing off several shots. What happened next went by in a blink. Nathan felt one of the bullets graze his arm, tearing through his costume and flesh, and screamed as pain seared from the wound. With the man distracted, Enya had elbowed him in the stomach and twisted out of his hold, grabbing his gun arm and forcing his shots to go off target when he aimed at Nathan. She flipped him off the stage and grabbed the microphone stand, prepared to defend herself wit

Article: Electrochemical determination of nitrite based on poly(amidoamine) dendrimer-modified carbon nanotubes for nitrite oxidation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study describes a simple and reliable method for the electrochemical determination of nitrite based on poly(amidoamine)-modified carbon nanotubes. Amine-terminated poly(amidoamine) (generation 4.0, G4-NH4) were covalently attached onto multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT)-modified glass carbon (GC) electrodes (written as G4-NH4/MWNT-modified GC) and which were used for the electrochemical determination of nitrite. The studies show that the G4-NH4/MWNT-modified electrodes demonstrated significantly enhanced electrochemical activity towards nitrite oxidation. Chronoamperometry studies reveal that the amperometric response is rapid, stable, and offers a linear dependence over a wide range of nitrite concentrations from 5μM to 1.5mM. The proposed method can be used for the continuous monitoring of nitrite in real samples. The electrochemical properties of the G4-NH4/MWNT nanocomposites are reasonably envisaged to be promising for providing a nanostructured platform in the development of electrochemical sensors or biosensors.
Article: Sensitive impedimetric DNA biosensor with poly(amidoamine) dendrimer covalently attached onto carbon nanotube electronic transducers as the tether for surface confinement of probe DNA. Biosens Bioelectron[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study demonstrates a new impedimetric DNA biosensor with second-generation poly(amidoamine) dendrimer (G2-PAMAM) covalently functionalized onto multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT) electronic transducers as the tether for surface confinement of probe DNA. G2-PAMAM dendrimer was covalently functionalized onto purified MWNTs and the as-formed G2-PAMAM-functionalized MWNT composite (i.e., G2-PAMAM/MWNT) was used both as the support to confine the single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) probe and as the electronic transducer to form the DNA biosensors. Upon the occurrence of hybridization events between surface-confined ssDNA probe with target DNA in solution to form a double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) at electrode surface, the negative charge in the electrode/electrolyte interface and, as such, the interfacial charge-transfer resistance of the electrodes towards the Fe(CN)(6)(3-/4-) redox couple were changed. Such a change was used for the impedimetric DNA biosensing. The use of G2-PAMAM dendrimer attached onto MWNT electronic transducer as the tether for probe DNA provides a large number of amino groups to increase the surface binding of probe DNA, results in the increase the sensitivity of the impedimetric biosensor for the target DNA. Under the conditions employed here, the change in the interfacial charge-transfer resistance was linear with the logarithm of the concentration of the target DNA within a concentration range from 0.5 to 500 pM with a detection limit of 0.1 pM (S/N=3). The excellent analytical properties of the impedimetric DNA biosensors developed here substantially makes them potentially useful for practical applications.
Article: Dendrimer-encapsulated Pd nanoparticles anchored on carbon nanotubes for electro-catalytic hydrazine oxidation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study describes a facile method for preparing amine-terminated poly(amidoamine) (G4-NH2)-encapsulated palladium nanocatalysts with carbon nanotubes as a support. The Pd2+/G4-NH2 complexes are synthesized by a template approach in which PdCl42- ions are extracted into the interior of G4-NH2 dendrimers, and then bonded on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) support through dendrimer covalent linkage. Conversion of Pd2+/G4-NH2 into dendrimer-encapsulated nanoparticles was achieved by the addition of NaBH4. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV–vis spectroscopy confirmed that the size-monodisperse Pd nanoparticles anchored on MWNTs was about 2nm in diameter. The obtained Pd/G4-NH2/MWNT nanocomposites exhibit high electro-catalytic activity for the hydrazine oxidation by cyclic voltammetry.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A novel, simple and sensitive DNA biosensor based on DNA-poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimer nanoconjugates was developed by using the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) technique. In this context, the assay relies on the hybridization of the single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) probe covalently conjugated on a mercaptoacetic acid self-assembled monolayer on gold electrodes, with the generation 4.5 (G-4.5) PAMAM-target DNA complex in solution. Once the double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) formed on the gold electrodes, G-4.5 PAMAM bearing carboxyls on the periphery was anchored on the hybrids; the changes of interfacial electron-transfer resistance (R(et)) of the electrodes were measured using an Fe(CN)(6)(3-/4-) redox probe by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results showed that only a complementary sequence could form a dsDNA-PAMAM with the DNA-PAMAM probe and give an obviously enlarged R(et) value. The non-complementary and three-base mismatched sequence exhibited negligible impedance change compared with the blank measurement (the blank measurement means: ssDNA probe-modified gold electrode was directly measured by EIS). The unique spherical structure combining with more negative charges on the G-4.5 PAMAM periphery anchored on the hybrids could significantly amplify the hybridization signal (R(et) value), and the detection limit for measuring the full complementary sequence is down to pM level.

April 26, 2010
Contact: Office of Communications
Phone: 202-693-1999
Secretary of Labor announces new members to safety, health advisory committee
Improving worker protections is goal of new members
WASHINGTON -- The Secretary of Labor's emphasis on worker safety and health was enhanced by the recent addition of seven new members to the National Advisory Committee on Occupational Safety and Health (NACOSH). The new appointees, who will serve two-year terms, bring to the committee years of experience and expertise in medicine, academia, safety program development and systems analysis.
NACOSH has advised the Secretaries of Labor, and Health and Human Services for nearly 40 years on worker safety issues such as Latino outreach, hazard communication, the whistleblower program, and overall occupational safety and health programs and policies.
These members, representing the interests of labor, management, safety and health professionals and the public, will use their expertise to help resolve major issues threatening the safety and health of American workers.
The 12-member committee - eight of whom are selected by the Secretary of Labor, four by the Secretary of Health and Human Services - meets at least two times a year. For more information on the committee, visit OSHA's NACOSH page.
Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers are responsible for providing safe and healthful workplaces for their employees. OSHA's role is to assure these conditions for America's working men and women by setting and enforcing standards, and providing training, education and assistance. For more information, visit http://www.osha.gov.

Vermont GOP expected to offer amendment to budgetBy Peter Hirschfeld
Staff Writer | March 28,2013MONTPELIER – Having failed in their bid to derail a tax bill that would raise more than $20 million in new revenue next year, House Republicans have now turned their focus toward changing the ways in which Democrats want to spend the money.
The GOP super-minority will offer an amendment to the budget Friday that would ax spending on new programs and redirect the money to buy down public-pension obligations and bolster rainy-day reserves.
The amendment will undoubtedly fail, and by a wide margin. But House Minority Leader Don Turner said his caucus is at least making its points.
"Vermont needs to get its fiscal house in order,"Turner said Thursday. "It's already very expensive to live in Vermont. And these (budget and tax) bills make it much, much worse."
Turner said that at the outset of the session, he presented House Speaker Shap Smith with the conditions that would be needed to earn his caucus' support for the fiscal year 2014 spending plan. They included: an overall spending increase of not more than 3 percent; limiting new employees to the 17 positions needed to staff the new state hospital; and the creation of a $20 million reserve to absorb looming cuts in federal aid.
"We knew full well we wouldn't achieve everything on this, but we hoped to see some movement on some," Turner said. "This budget being brought to the floor does not do that."

Jammer's Review
Star Trek: The Next Generation
"Galaxy's Child"
Air date: 3/11/1991
Teleplay by Maurice Hurley
Story by Thomas Kartozian
Directed by Winrich Kolbe
Review by Jamahl Epsicokhan
Dr. Leah Brahms (Susan Gibney), the designer of the Enterprise's engines, comes aboard the Enterprise. Geordi is ecstatic, because he met — and kissed — a holographic version of her in last season's "Booby Trap." This can't end well. His boundless optimism only makes it that much more obvious when we learn that Brahms is, in reality, kind of a pain in the ass. Her first words to Geordi after stepping off the transporter pad: "So you're the one who's fouled up my engine designs." The payoff is so telegraphed that if "Galaxy's Child" were on cable, she would've used a different word starting with F.
Last season's "Booby Trap" was an engaging enough hour, so I guess it sort of made sense to do a follow-up on the whole Geordi/Leah thing. It's funny but also cringe-worthy to watch Geordi get so worked up over this woman whom he met on a holodeck (in a best-computer-guess simulation) and who doesn't actually know him. Reality. Fantasy. Two things. Watching Geordi confess to Guinan this 16-year-old-boy-like crush is embarrassing enough, but then Geordi arranges a date in his quarters where I'm just feeling bad for when Brahms walks out perplexed. Because Brahms is married. And Geordi doesn't know this because, what, he never bothered to find it in the computer? Uh-huh. Look at it this way: If you found someone on Facebook you wanted to date, don't you think the first thing you'd look at on their profile is whether they're, you know, MARRIED? Just wait until Leah finds herself in last year's holodeck program. (Her reaction was over the top, in my opinion, and when Geordi defended himself I was nodding in agreement.) This is either hilarious or sad; I'm not sure which.
The sci-fi plot, which is sort of an afterthought, involves the Enterprise studying a creature (sort of like a whale in space) that suddenly attacks the ship with deadly radiation. In defense, Picard fires phasers (minimum setting, of course). Priceless is Picard's devastated reaction when the phasers accidentally kill the creature. It's so wonderfully Picard: We came out here to study this wonderful creature and we have killed it; thus we have failed our mission. But then it turns out the creature was pregnant, and the baby survived in the womb, is born, and starts following the Enterprise around like its mother. How cute. Until it latches on and attempts to breast-feed all the ship's energy away.
Leah and Geordi must work together to figure out how to get the creature off the ship without harming it. In the process they reach an understanding and mutual respect (and make a natural technobabble tag-team) — but, come on, did you really expect them not to?

"Just wait until Leah finds herself in last year's holodeck program. (Her reaction was over the top, in my opinion, and when Geordi defended himself I was nodding in agreement.) "
I don't know, this guy she's never met has been hitting on her since she beamed aboard, and now she finds out he has her simulated on the Holo-Sex-Deck. Justifiable reaction is justifiable. Geordi should have told her upfront.
Same ep, didn't they meet another spacefaring creature? Tin Man? That doesn't justify as "similar phenomennon"? I half suspect they reused the same, "retrofitted" prop.
I don't think I agree with you about telling Leah up front.
"Hi, I am Geordi LaForge, I am the Chief Engineer, I have a flirtatious holodeck recreation of you, but it is not sexual, hope you don't mind....Are you busy later?"
I think the proper move would have been to delete the program as soon as you saw her name on the guest list.
Or what you said, at the very least, delete her character/scale it back to the generic version he started with.
I usually agree with most of your reviews, I thorougly enjoy them and thank you for your hard work. However, on this one, I have to wonder why you found Brahms' reaction over the top:
She meets a man she's never seen before; he seems to know a lot about her, he invites her on a romantic dinner, he obviously hits on her and then she finds out a holodeck version where the other she says: "Every time you touch it, it's me"...
Put yourself in her shoes and tell me you wouldn't have reacted badly ? ;)
I like Geordi very much, but here, he responded with hypocrisy (he wanted only friendship, really ?) and put her on defense. What I regret most is that Brahms didn't argue more. She's shown as a strong woman with strong ideas (sometimes obnoxious) and suddendly, she's melting and gets along with Geordi, which doesn't suit with me, at all (of course, it suits TNG).
It also poses the question of holodeck's ethics (same question in "Hollow Pursuits" with Barclay's use of living beings). Shouldn't use of real persons be prohibited ?
As for the reference of "Tin Man", I see those aliens of the week more like giant space whales, not sentient beings like Tin Man.
PS: sorry for my poor english :p
That revelation could've been a twist ending to this episode, but it also would've opened a can of worms thst changed TNG forever. From that moment, the Enterprise would've been recognized as alive, a new character in the ensemble. Suddenly, Geordi has more girlfriend than he ever wanted; Data is a mentor to an emerging AI; and Picard has to wonder if a sentient ship will obey his commands. Given the b-plot, this episode would've been the perfect launching pad for a "living ship" arc.
What few times we get a Geordi-centric story, it's usuall with him being just inept with women and never more so than in this episode. The way he gushes and giggles in front of Picard when he is told that Leah Brahms is coming for a visit is just short of silly for any grown man. And it only gets worse when he explains his "admiration" to Guinan. At this point we can already see we're all being set up for his big letdown. It's the next logical step.
Now, enter Leah, who of course is a block of ice on wheels. Not that it matters to Geordi who still keeps babbling oddly creepy over-reaching things just begging for a restraining order. Truly no grown man could be this bad at charming a woman. Not even Wesley.
Plot B, the giant ship-sucking space-baby that provides the ship-in-peril stuff, feels like an afterthought. It does give Geordi and Leah the necessary motive to ends their squabbling and work a problem together.
Overall it's not a bad story as long you can believe Geordi or any other grown man could be so awfully clumsy with women.
Oh, by the way, in case you didn't watch or pay attention to "All Good Things", the series finale, some time in the future Geordi and Leah eventually marry.
I think Leah's reaction to finding the holoprogram of herself, saying that every time Geordi looks at the engines he's looking at her, every time he touches the engines he's touching her, etc., is entirely reasonable and perhaps even measured. Geordi has been not only clueless, but actually creepy for most of the episode -- demonstrating again and again that he knows personal information about her and trying to find artificial ways of spending time together when she has not indicated any interest, and of course the holoprogram's deep and abiding love pretty much explains how Geordi got all his information and his inappropriate fixation. Geordi *hadn't* actually had sex with holo-Leah as she implies, but it's not unreasonable given his recent behaviour and his repeated lying about why he was acting like he knew her to assume that his "relationship" with the holographic version of her went much further. I understand why Geordi tried turning it around on Leah the way he did, because it's pretty hard to deal with criticism and all, but claiming that his great sin was offering her friendship is disingenuous at best and awful and manipulative at worst. No, his sin wasn't "offering her friendship" but refusing to engage with her as a human being, being sullen and angry with her for not being as personable as the computer's version of her and pushing a relationship she didn't want. None of these are unforgivable, but they are *not* "offering friendship." The episode ending with Leah apologizing to Geordi and sharing a drink and a big laugh with him is messed up, ultimately, because while she was wrong about how far his holo-fantasies went, Geordi's own fantasy of his relationship with Leah had clearly gone to unhealthy extremes and so I don't think she was wrong in spirit. (Let's remember that Geordi is so out to lunch that he says "You remember!" to Leah regarding the design modifications made in "Booby Trap," and it seems to take a few seconds after Leah says that she has no idea what he's talking about for him to remember that that was the computer.)
Jammer's description of the date scene as either hilarious or sad gets to what I think the episode's tone is; actually, it mostly reads to me like an episode of The Office without jokes -- a cringe comedy of errors, without really any comedy. It's just a lot of errors. I can relate to Geordi's imagining a relationship that wasn't there, because I have made similar mistakes when I was, like, 20, but the episode ultimately makes his behaviour a little too extreme to be believable and certainly too extreme to end on the redemptive note of total friendship with Leah. There are some interesting moments -- for example, Leah saying that she relates better to machines than to people basically shines a light on Geordi's whole problem; in "Booby Trap" he fell for Leah because she was essentially an avatar for the Enterprise anyway. Given that Leah considers the Enterprise engines to be her child in a way (another connection to the B-plot?), the end-of-episode bonding does make some sense; even if Geordi and Leah are not meant to be a couple (and how), they are in a sense surrogate parents to the Enterprise and can bond over her. Whether Geordi can build human connections that are not just projections of his feelings for the ship remains to be seen. (2 stars.)
You are a young woman who has been invited to the home of a coworker for a casual dinner. You haven't been working at your job for very long, and you don't know the guy very well, but he seems nice enough. But when you get to his house, some things start to seem "off." He knows your favorite foods, your favorite music, and other personal interests of yours, and you know you never told him any of this. Dinner's pretty awkward. He just seems to know way too much about you, and it's starting to make you a bit nervous, but you know that if you walk out now, when you go to work tomorrow he will cast the whole incident as you being a bitch, and everyone will believe him, because no one knows you very well, and when something like that happens between a man and a woman, the woman's often considered to be in the wrong unless the man does something overtly threatening, even if every alarm bell in her head is ringing like a claxon.
After the meal, you move into the living room. He goes out of the room for some reason, and you notice a closet door left slightly open. Curious, you open it. Inside, you find a shrine to yourself, completely with hair and toenail samples. After that, you throw all social conventions to the winds and RUN.
You know what I call Geordi's behavior towards Brahms in this episode? RED FLAGS. That's probably how she saw them, too. And before you say "Oh, well Geordi would never do something like that", ask yourself this question. How exactly is Brahms supposed to know that?
It's a travesty that the scriptwriter or whoever decided that it would be more appropriate to have Brahms APOLOGIZE to Geordi for her (completely justified) behavior than, as one of the previous commenters suggests, bringing all of this to the captain and then refusing to ever work with Geordi again, ever speak to him again, or ever being in the same room alone with him again.
Nothing in the real Brahm's "personality profile" that was used to generate the interactive hologram would conjure up a phrase like "when you're touching them, you're touching me".
Someone's a perv, and it's hard to buy that it's the Ent-D's computer.
I am more in the "Just come clean Geordi" or more specifically in the "Just shut up Geordi, a little professionalism would be nice Geordi!!" camp. I like his character. He seems to be a bright guy who gets things done. (Perhaps not smart enough to edit the embarrassing program)
Cheyne's description of the chain of events was accurate. Watch Booby Trap again.
Maybe it's Leah who's the perv? Either way, it's not Geordi's fault that Holo-Leah came on to him. And also, Geordi said goodbye and shut her off the moment that mission was over.
The scene in Engineering about "souring the milk" had a creepy vibe to it, coming right on the heels of the confrontation on the Holodeck. Geordi was REALLY into that breast feeding analogy.
I laughed with incredulity when in the final scene in Ten Forward, it was Leah doing the apologizing and not Geordi. I told my roommate "I bet a man wrote this."
I was definitely entertained by this episode, but viewing this through the prism of "Aquiel" and "Identity Crisis" (and the Sherlock Holmes episodes), I'd say Geordi has a bigger holodeck problem than Barclay.
Where was Counselor Troi when all this was going on? Instead of being an irritant to Picard on the bridge, she should have been addressing the Chief Engineer sexually harassing a distinguished guest. (A ship's counselor is kind of like HR, right? Just kidding.)
Also, did Picard remember meeting the holographic Dr. Brahms on the holodeck a year before, or not? At first I thought no, but the way the opening scene was edited, it seemed like he looked at Geordi a second too long to be mere coincidence . . . I rewatched this scene and I can't tell if that subtext is intentional or not, but it's most definitely there.
A final thought: I was kind of Dennis McCarthy wrote the score to this episode. While there's nothing super amazing out about it, it's 1000% percent better than most of his other (later) Star Trek music. (You know, actual chords and themes instead of droning french horns over atonal strings). My guess is that having to compete with a musical genius like Ron Jones made him try a little harder in the early days.
PS- to be precise: when I was comparing Barclay and Geordi, I meant to say Geordi is fundamentally more effed up than Barclay.
I liked this episode quite a bit but not nearly as well as episodes in this season such as Data's Day ,Family, or First Contact. The whole thing with the space creature was OK but certainly took second place behind the Leah and Geordi story. I will say that when they killed the mother creature it was quite the sad moment and you could really feel the impact that it had on everybody on the bridge. For me I think the 2.5 stars rating is about spot on.
We're really going to drag in contemporary blame the victim logic here?
It's not the first time I've seen 2plix make a questionable comment. Once I saw him say "Maybe it's Leah who's the perv?" I knew he was crossing into troll territory. No real Star Trek fan would be so blind to the truth.
I was annoyed that there was so much time before she found out about the program, as was predictable, and that the reconciliation was told rather than shown.
Get over yourself Nissa. I'm sorry but so many people these days over react when it comes to any sensitive issue. Geordi didn't create a holo sex toy for his "sordid" fantasies. What a joke.
In booby trap (and no that's not a sexist episode title) Geordi doesnt even mean to create a replica of Leah. He tells the computer to show him something. Instead of the computer highlighting the information it creates the real Leah. Then he just asked for some of her personality so he could congratulate her while he's trying to solve a problem. All he did was kiss her. He didn't do anything creepy. If you wanna see creepy go watch ds9 where quark actually tries to film Kira to replicate her so someone who paid him could have sex with her image. All without her knowledge. Geordi does act weird around women but if she would have watched the whole program she wouldn't have reacted over the top like jammer pointed out. I'm just surprised people are acting like Geordi is having threesomes with double Leah's inside the warp core. Ha.
Agreed. But I still maintain that Geordi's behavior towards Leah, when he actually did meet her in person, was creepy - and this is why I am coming to the defense of anyone who has made that point on this thread. While I love Star Trek, I have been dismayed by some of the writing on TNG and DS9 (I haven't started Voyager yet; I only saw a few episodes of that show here and there when it was on air.) I blame the predominantly male writing team. There weren't enough checks and balances for some of the questionable story lines that involved male/female relationships. (As a counterpoint, I've gained a lot of insights/enjoyment from viewing relationships between fathers/sons, mentors/mentees, and 'brothers' in arms.) Re: Geordi/Leah and other questionable story lines, I'm heartened by the large number of men on this website who have come out to acknowledge the problems. It makes me feel better about how we're doing as a society.
Are you blind? Geordi was creating a holographic image of her so that he could create a fantasy with her, and then when she showed up in person, he had the intention of extending that fantasy to herself as a real person. Not to mention that the whole "touching" line was creepy as all get out. While I don't deny that the thing that happened to Kira was worse, just because it was worse doesn't mean that Geordi was innocent here. Geordi's reaction to Picard mentioning her arrival indicates he knew he was doing something wrong, so I don't want to hear it.
I've known a few close friends of mine(both male and female) who were similarly inexperienced (and lonely)who went a little too far in their engagement of someone else and they received similar treatment. I think its great that our society condemns men who are actually creepy and potentially dangerous but Geordi's actions here are just ill conceived in my opinion and that's all.
Geordi was by no means innocent in the situation, since he obviously used some details from that program and assumably other research to know a bit more about Brahms (in his defense, what person doesn't try to learn more about someone they're interested in...). But the important thing is that he never created a holographic image of her to try and fantasize with. It was intended as a diagnostic simulation to try and figure out a solution to the issue at hand.
In the Booby Trap episode it was a degree of give and take with the computer that lead to there being a 3d image of her at all in the program. He never initially asked for it (the computer made the decision on it's own to insert a 3d image of her into the scene to assist with identification of certain items), but when confronted with an image of her that wasn't reacting like a human, he decided to instruct the computer to make the program act more like the real thing, so he could bounce ideas off it more effectively.
All the sexual innuendo was invented by the holodeck computer system, which in the process of making the invention seem believable was no doubt detecting that Geordi was somewhat attracted to the image (this does seem to happen on the holodeck occasionally...). Using this information it connected the dots, and made the holo version say those lines, and act the way it did. The holodeck doesn't know that what it's doing is creepy, it's just creating a mostly realistic simulation based on the information at hand, and parameters that had been defined.
I highly doubt that any reasonable person would look at this situation and assume Geordi was without fault, but they should also be able to see that the situation wasn't as creepy as you are insinuating.
His reaction to her outrage was wrong, but no-one said he was perfect. I also admit that the sudden turn-around by the episodes end in her reaction to him was a bit jarring, but from the way they are talking (with him acknowledging that he got a bit too attached to the holo-Brahms) it seems that we are seeing the end of a conversation, where the proper framing of why there was a holo version of her was explained and presumably understood.
The lack of a scene showing this sort of conversation, with Geordi apologising for the way he acted etc is definitely an oversight, but we must remember that TV schedules often cause pages of dialog to be left on the floor, especially in a scifi series, where the studio is often pushing for less talking and more action etc.
I'm glad you noticed this; it seems everyone else commenting on this episode is caught up in debating whether or not Geordi is a creep.
I thought the scene where they first discovered the life-form and the subsequent disaster showcased some of Patrick Stewart's understated acting at its very best. If you watch his face, you can intensely feel his sense of childlike excitement at discovering the unknown object in space, then he waxes poetic about living between the stars when he discovers it is a living being. He then shows caution and great sensitivity for not upsetting or alarming it; this turns to concern at the problems start to develop. Then when he realizes he is forced to use phasers, he hesitates so long in giving Worf the command, it's like he doesn't want to believe what is happening. Finally when it happens, the worst thing possible results: the creature dies before their very eyes.
Picard's powerlessness to save it and the feeling of his childlike joy and wonder turning into horror at the realization at what he's done was so acute, I wanted to burst into tears. But he did all this just with a look in his eye and an expression on his face. Patrick Stewart really is a great A-level actor and his heavy duty dramatic presence is a huge part of why this show about space people in costumes and little models and CGI moves us so deeply. You can feel his character's great intelligence and sensitivity, his noble intentions, and he makes it all feel very real and believable.
Seriously, what was the point here? In "Booby Trap" LaForge can't get a real woman interested in him, so he retreats off with his fantasy woman. Now, in "Galaxy's Child," the real version of that fantasy woman shows up and LaForge promptly screws everything up with her because he can't distinguish fantasy from reality. Oh, those wacky nerds and their women problems, am I right?! Then, just to rub salt in the wound, they have the real Leah Brahms be married, so there' no chance of LaForge ending up with her even after they've become somewhat friendly.
I thought the rather lackluster "Transfigurations" solved these romance problems for LaForge. I guess not. Seriously, if this is the type of "romance" the poor guy is going to get, it would have been better if the writers simply didn't do anything romantic with him in the first place.
It's actually kind of sad that the rather disappointing tech plot is again, just like in "Booby Trap," the redeeming feature of this episode. Like in the previous episode, it's enjoyable enough for what it is - nothing great about it and nothing terrible about it. It's just "there." Though I do feel the need to point out that this is the THIRD time these people have encountered a space dwelling life-form and they still act like it's something they've never seen before.
I actually tend to like the Geordi episodes and I like this one, and one reason I think I enjoyed it more than many others is that I took it to be in the "semi-comedy" Star Trek genre and thought it was pretty funny (between laughing at Geordi and at Leah's grouchy attitude). And to all those who talk about his creepyness in "researching" Leah and it being like googling people, well it was t even on that level (something which btw is somewhat unadmirable but not crossing the line into creepy in my book) as the hologram he made to help save the ship in Booby Trap volunteered all that he knew about Leah to him, if you re watch that episode. Yes one could say he sounded kinda creepy (but more so odd or just dopey/foolish) in his continuing references to what he had learned (emphasizing "foolish" for how much of a hard time he had in not permitting himself to act as though he already knew her- the "you remember" line in parricular but also not realizing how you can only establish so many "coincidental commonalities" between you and someone (the fungilli, seeing engines as your children... *ahem*) before what you're up to becomes fairly obvious (having prior knowledge of the person and using that to curry favor in making it seem like you have so much in common) but I didn't mind these things in the episode because I always thought and still do it was meant to be funny and I grant those sort of Trek episodes more benefit of the doubt than others and because it was the comically awkward with women Geordi saying them (and his general attitude was funny too in how he acted like he thought he was being all clever and sly but he wasn't clever enough to not overuse what he knew and it all ended up blowing up in his face.
On Leah encountering his holodeck program- sorry Nissa but you come off as someone sounding like they almost wanted to be offended especially with how you repeated your erroneous recollection of events even after you were corrected and referred to "Booby Trap" for what really did happen- yes Leah accused Geordi of doing creating a copy of her for sex but he obviously didn't, it was innocent and the facsimile said that line about touching engines=touching me on its (her?) own, and her being wrong about that and flying off the handle on him about something she was wrong about was why she apologized (and for her initially grumpy/somewhat unprofessionally confrontational attitude at first). But again, it was funny and I think that was at least half of that scene's goal. I also enjoyed the B plot with the space creature and thought it was a classically Trek/TNG plot and was particularly well suited for Picard, like others have said.
The sub-plot is interesting enough, and worth the price of admission alone for Picard's quietly devastated response to killing the alien. That the Enterprise is presented with an immediate chance to make amends is of course a standard plot device. But it's nicely played nonetheless, and goes some way to ameliorate the rather on the nose main story. 2.5 stars.
So I don't buy the premise of him being completely out-of-touch here. He drops a silly little message like "I make a great fungilli", then gives a knowing smile, as if she knows what is going on, or is flirting with him as well. And she's not. If he'd never said that line, things would have been much better. As it was, it made me cringe. Oh, I didn't believe Geordi was stalking her. That would've been going to her quarters over and over, watching her surreptitiously through the ship monitors, etc. No, I believe he was just being incompetent and clueless,...
Part of this episode did have a small ring of reality though, at least to me. He says earlier that he doesn't necessarily expect there to be anything romantic (just wants to be friends really), then later looks like someone just killed his dog after finding out she was married. Classic deluding himself, and people do that all the time. They say they aren't that interested in someone, when secretly the person is hoping against hope they will turn their eyes toward them. I totally believed that part of the episode.
Holodeck: Eh, she might have over-reacted a little, but I think it fit. After she thought about it a bit, and the circumstances surrounding the program, she seemed to realize it wasn't a big deal. But... in Booby Trap, why was the holodeck program recorded? Do they always record the goings-on in there? Why was there a program to be found of them? It should have just been Utopia Planetia, same as when Geordi started the program. There was no reason for her to ever see anything, because there should't have been anything to see.
Have a great day... RT
In our time, which is supposed to be less evolved than TNG.....A guy invites a new female co worker to his apartment for dinner under the guise of a professional meeting, with dimmed lighting, music, casual clothing, etc....... well, she would have full grounds to report him and he may lose his job over it.
Then the holodeck thing. That would be today's equivalent of mounting a webcam in her office and then playing it on your home computer. So the co-worker finds this out; well, again the guy would likely be fired and maybe subject to a lawsuit.
The problem with the holodeck was it was made to be a lover of Geordi. I would assume the computer picked that up and pushed the personality in that direction. when you touch the engines you touch me..... there is only one way to interpret that, sexual. And, Geordi's talk with Guinan before Leah arrived made it very clear he was not looking at her from a friendship angle. He was wanting to be her boyfriend, right away, the day she arrived.
However, what I really disliked, was how they resolved it. They had Leah apologizing for her reaction! LIke who on earth thought that was a good idea? I guess with TNG they didn't like conflicts with their regular cast and it all had to by the end of the episode. Female's fault for over reacting, right? Is that how it is?
I guess back then, most of us were young and didn't notice this. I certainly as a man over 40, if I saw this first run now, would have likely disliked the LaForge character for the rest of the series, and have been disappointed the writers took a serious issue as a joke.
At the time the show aired, there really wasn't any real life parallel. Now with social media and other technology we are getting closer to where someone could create a virtual reality version of a person he/she had a crush on or an obsession with.
You would think the evolved humans of the 24th Century would have had developed a good code of holo-ethics that would forbid such behavior.
He essentially appropriated her 3 dimensional image, her voice, and and his approximation of her personality and used it to create a virtual version of her for his own fantasies.
I think she had every right to feel violated and even more reason to think Geordi was pathetic and creepy.
I think Geordi had at least as serious holodeck issues as Reg Broccoli...I mean Barclay.

Ann Rutledge
|Ann Rutledge
January 7, 1813
Henderson, Kentucky
|August 25, 1835(aged 22)
|James Rutledge (father)
Mary Ann Miller Rutledge (mother)
Ann Rutledge (January 7, 1813 – August 25, 1835) was allegedly Abraham Lincoln's first love.
Born near Henderson, Kentucky, Ann Mayes Rutledge was the third of ten children born to Mary Ann Miller Rutledge and James Rutledge. In 1829, her father, along with John M. Cameron, founded New Salem, Illinois. Many of the facts of her life are lost to history, but some historians believe that she was the first love of Abraham Lincoln. The exact nature of the Lincoln–Rutledge relationship has been fiercely debated by historians and non-historians for over a century. It is fairly well established the two were at least friends.[citation needed]
The story goes that Rutledge was engaged to marry John MacNamar, a dubious character who left for New York and promised to marry her upon his return. Rutledge and Lincoln met after this and supposedly fell in love while MacNamar was away and she promised to marry Lincoln after MacNamar released her. For a time Rutledge and MacNamar exchanged letters, but his letters became more formal and "less ardent in turn" and eventually ceased completely.[1] MacNamar never returned before her death.[2]
In 1835, a wave of typhoid hit the town of New Salem. Ann Rutledge died at the age of 22 on August 25, 1835. This sad event left Lincoln severely depressed.[3] Historian John Y. Simon reviewed the historiography of the subject and concluded, "Available evidence overwhelmingly indicates that Lincoln so loved Ann that her death plunged him into severe depression."[2] An anonymous poem about suicide published locally exactly three years after her death is widely attributed to Lincoln.[4] Many years later, after Lincoln's first election as President, Isaac Cogdal, Lincoln's old friend, ventured to ask whether it was true that Lincoln had fallen in love with Ann. "It is true- true indeed I did," Lincoln replied. "I loved the woman dearly and soundly: she was a handsome girl- would have made a good loving wife...I did honestly and truly love the girl and think often-often of her now."[5]
Ann Mayes Rutledge was laid to rest in the Old Concord Burial Ground; however, the body was exhumed and then buried in the Oakland Cemetery in Petersburg, Illinois, when an undertaker became financially interested in the cemetery in 1890.[6] At this time the cheap stone marker was replaced with a granite monument that included the lyrics of Edgar Lee Masters and reads:[7][8]
Out of me unworthy and unknown
The vibrations of deathless music:
"With malice toward none, with charity toward all."
Out of me the forgiveness of millions toward millions,
And the beneficent face of a nation
Shining with justice and truth.
I am Ann Rutledge who sleeps beneath these weeds,
Beloved in life of Abraham Lincoln,
Wedded to him, not through union,
But through separation.
Bloom forever, O Republic,
From the dust of my bosom!
Herndon's statement[edit]
After Lincoln's assassination in 1865, his friend and law partner William Herndon first revealed the story of the supposed romance between Rutledge and Lincoln, much to Mary Todd Lincoln's anger and dismay. However, Herndon despised Mary Todd Lincoln and may have fabricated or enhanced the story of a romance between Ann Rutledge and Abraham Lincoln to serve as a "thorn in the side" of Mary Todd Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln's surviving son Robert Todd Lincoln was also upset by Herndon's claim. Most of Herndon's sources came from interviews with Lincoln's early friends in New Salem and Ann's relatives. The story was later repeated by Herndon in several lectures and books.
Historical criticism of alleged Lincoln-Rutledge relationship[edit]
Several historians have claimed that the evidence of a love affair between Lincoln and Rutledge is tenuous at best. In his Lincoln the President, historian James G. Randall wrote a chapter entitled "Sifting the Ann Rutledge Evidence" which cast doubt on the nature of her and Lincoln's relationship.
Lewis Gannett, writing in the Journal of the Abraham Lincoln Association, claims that "Nearly sixty years after James G. Randall delivered a seeming coup de grâce to the Ann Rutledge legend, the legend may be nearing a second death."[9][10] However, since William Herndon was not the only witness to the Lincoln-Rutledge relationship,[11] efforts to minimize her role in Lincoln's early life have so far failed.
In popular fiction[edit]
Actress Pauline Moore plays Ann Rutledge in John Ford's 1939 film "Young Mr. Lincoln." Following Ann's death, Lincoln (Henry Fonda) visits her graveside and makes the fateful decision to leave home and pursue a law practice in Springfield.
The Lincoln-Rutledge relationship plays an important part in the growth of Lincoln in Seth Grahame-Smith's novel Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter. In it, MacNamar is a vampire. When he learns that Rutledge has fallen in love with Lincoln, he returns to New Salem and kills her by infecting her. The symptoms of her infection resemble those of typhoid fever.
An earlier, more traditional novel on the subject is Bernie Babcock's The Soul of Ann Rutledge, Abraham Lincoln's Romance, published in 1919.

McConnell to Offer ObamaCare Repeal Today, as Amendment
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will introduce the bill to repeal the national health care law today, as an amendment to the Federal Aviation Administration bill.
"Everybody will have an opportunity to go on record," McConnell just said at a news conference.
A Senate GOP source tells me at this moment it's unclear whether the actual vote will occur today, which is largely dependent on how Democrats react. They could immediately move to table the amendment, it would set up a quick vote.
All 47 GOP Senators are expected to vote for the repeal measure, but it's unlikely that it would attract any Democratic support, let alone enough to reach 60 votes.

For HP Investors, Now Is the Time
(EMC) and Cisco (CSCO) respectively. As disappointing as these revelations may be, its network division continues to be somewhat concerning since Cisco continues to show improvement in that area. On the positive side however, the company's software division soared by 18%. However, what came as no surprise to anyone particularly since Dell (DELL) had already issued its own report, was the prolonged weakness in the company's PC division which saw a 10% decline in revenue -- lending further support that Apple, Google and Amazon are winning the battle of the mobile devices. In terms of outlook HP now expects full-year net income excluding some items to now arrive at $4.07 per share, 3 cents lower than its earlier forecast and missing analysts' average estimates by penny.Over all, investors were not pleased with these results and have sent shares down as much as 8%. What continues to be ignored is that HP is only a year into fixing mistakes that have led to its slumping growth over the past several years, including not only failed acquisitions such as Palm and EDS, but also missing significant opportunities in the smartphone and tablets race. What's more, with the help of its long-time partner Microsoft (MSFT), with which it shares a mutual enemy in Apple, the company is betting heavily on the success the upcoming launch of Windows 8 as a way to dispel exaggerated notions of PC deaths. Additionally, as a way to ignite profitability while meeting goals of efficiency, the company is now in the midst of a cost-cutting strategy that should save it an estimated $3 billion over the next several years. As early as the end of October, the company says that its headcount will be reduced by over 11,000. What it saves as a result of these reductions will be reinvested in new employee software, cloud services as well as storing some of that cash should it find ways to spur profitability.The company also suffered some weakness in its servers, storage as well as network equipment businesses where it competes with the likes of IBM, EMC
