Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
The Colorado Springs Airport was closed for a couple of hours Thursday evening, after police say a man threatened to blow it up.
John Ondracek was taken into custody after a cab driver picked him up at a hotel.
The driver said Ondracek told him he had explosives in his bags, and wanted to be dropped off at the airport.
The Denver man was arrested, and no one was allowed in or out of the airport as his bags were screened.
Authorities say they sent Ondracek's luggage through X-rays and found no explosives.
Traffic into and out of the airport terminal then returned to normal. Police say they aren't clear if Ondracek is an American citizen.
There is also the possibility he had been in the Colorado State
Hospital in the 1970s or 1980s.
He now may face local charges of false reporting of explosives, and possible federal charges since the FBI is also investigating.

What Jurassic Park Got Wrong About Raptors
Forget the scaly skin, real raptors had feathers and, according to one paleontologist, looked a lot more like "prehistoric kickboxing killer turkeys" (2:58)
Tweet |
Comments (2) |
While I agree that birds are dinosaurs and that the Raptors in the movie may be Deinonychus, I strongly (let me emphasize STRONGLY) disagree with them having feathers. They look silly and stupid like that. Can you imagine what would have happened if Jurassic Park made their Raptors to look like they look now? No wonder that kid in the beginning said it was like a six-foot turkey. Now, that they look like one, he would be right! Science isn't always accurate. They declared Pluto no longer a planet when it's been a planet for a very long time now. What makes you think they're accurate about Raptors having feathers? Yes, I know they are two separate fields (paleontology and astrology), but they are connected with one thing in common...Science. Getting back on track, I will never believe that Raptors ever had feathers, regardless of what "evidence" is found and what "scientists" say. They may be deinonychus in the Jurassic Park movies, but NO FEATHERS! That's why I didn't like the third film as much as the other two. I remember they looked much different and the males had feathers on the tops of their heads. This depiction of Raptors (fully feathered...as if JPIII wasn't bad enough) makes me wonder how anyone could possibly be scared of them. Archeopteryx may have been feathered, but feathered Raptors are just too stupid to be believable. No, I'm not a scientist, nor do I claim to know about Science. I'm merely a fan of Jurassic Park who strongly opposes my favorite dinosaurs with feathers on. I will NEVER forget the scaly skin! If they make Jurassic Park IV with fully feathered Raptors, I believe the movie will flop and angered fans from the original will be protesting against this. They may even boycott the film entirely. It could happen! Think about that!

Change Cian\'s legal name to Noob!
Cian is already known as Noob to everybody in Scotland, so why should he have to continue living life with the burden of having an actual name It\'s a disgrace. We need to fix this terrible problem and legally change his name to Noob. It\'s easier to remember too.
This petition is being set up by the Pro-Noob / Anti-Cian Society.

A boy and his jetpack save the world against an army of randomly generated bosses.
4.02 / 5.00 35,189 ViewsIt took me below 20 minutes. This was a try to see what can I animate in a short time.
you were exploring some interesting avenues in your dialogue...putting some more detail in your characters may have helped make this more entertaining
Ok, thanks. I shall do so.
This was quite interesting in storywise. Hate is a tiny bit of a loner in a sense and a self loathing, egotistical, person hating, whiny monster. The story again is a tiny bit high with the other following notices. Art style was very bland, dry and expressive. Audio is so-so since there minor soundtracks to accompany the tale. But overall it was the story that got to me since its a bit reflective on actual individuals on here. In fact you brought me a disturbing memory of a Newgrounder who became or turned rouged and attack his own school. His name was Jeff Weise of the Red Lake High School Massacre. Its a tragedy and a tale of sorrow for many and all sides that underwent this tragedy. But I digress, You've done a decent good job. I'm going to bestow you a 1 in a half out of 5. And a 2/5 in voting power. Keep practicing, creating and contributing on here friend. I hope you've enjoyed this review. Good day.
I did enjoyed it.\ I will make better animations in the future. Thanks!
Don't do that, spend more time on your animations. Most people spend MONTHS on their flash submissions, not 20 minutes. And you need a bit more content then that. Not just this badly drawn pink thing.

This week in science: A celebration of space travel, and a questionable way to commemorate an anniversary; some DIY geek projects, including designer duct tape (because who doesn't love duct tape, especially zebra-striped duct tape); high tech glasses that would make Superman, and maybe even Sydney Bristow jealous; and robots, no science week in review is complete without some robot action. Read on for more!
There were several notable commemorations of this event. Since 2001, Yuri's Night throws a worldwide party for the anniversary, connecting space enthusiasts around the world to celebrate the historic occasion. Did you miss it this year? No problem, you can go to Yurisnight.net and start planning for next year.
You can also celebrate the event by acquiring a commemorative watch by designer Bernhard Lederer, complete with an orbiting 60 second Tourbillion that rotates counterclockwise around the watch in 108 minutes, recalling the time Gagarin spent orbiting the earth.
But if you wanted it in platinum, good luck. Only 50 of them were made, and they are being auctioned off at Sothebys.
New Beginnings
If you really want to go all out in celebrating space flight, why not head into space yourself? Virgin Galactic can help you do it, for the bargain price of $200,000. You will experience zero gravity and get to see the earth from above. If you think you're qualified, you can also apply to pilot the Virgin ship.
The Space Shuttle era, from 1981 to 2011 is now over. The shuttle program is being shuttered, and the shuttles will be cleaned up, gutted and relegated to museums, and the tiles are being sold off for only $23.40. You can even get one for your school, by going here. Until NASA comes up with a new space flight vehicle (if they do), US astronauts will have to hitch a ride with the Russians to get to the International Space Station. Kind of sad how far we haven't come in 50 years.
Build your own Gieger counter at home
Cookinghacks.com has developed an Arduino-based geiger counter. It uses a piezo so that you hear a chirp when it detects radioactivity. The Arduino microcontroller counts the pulses per minute. Using this measurement the microcontroller calculates Sieverts per hour. This is the standard measurement for the energy that the body absorbs from radiation sources. The site offers a kit for €95.00, or about $137. It is also open source, so you can build your own from scratch.
Designer duct tape
In the process of building your own Geiger counter, you may find that you need some duct tape. And now, you can tape in style because duct tape, the perfect geek tool, has gone designer. You can get sheets of the stuff in all sorts of happening colors and patterns. Need a case to protect your iPhone? Just use some zebra-stripe duct tape. Niiice.
Face-matching glasses
Since I am a fan of the show Alias, that is the first thing I thought of when I saw these glasses. They look like something Marshall would whip out for Sydney on one of her missions. Anyway, these glasses, planned to be used by Brazilian police, let the officer scan the faces of people, checking them against a database to see if they are wanted criminals.
The glasses have a camera fitted to them which can grab 400 faces per second and send them to the database. If there is a match, a notification pops up on the screen. The standard iteration lets police check faces from 50 meters away, but the glasses have the capability to check faces as much as 12 miles away. Plus, they're super swank.
Holographic tactical goggles
In other optical news, DARPA has developed another very cool gadget. Called goggles, but looking more like sunglasses, this eyewear lets soldiers to interface with drones flying overhead, giving the soldiers details on what the drone is seeing and firing at. This way, the soldier can get intelligence immediately instead of having the time lag of waiting for a report. The glasses can also tell the soldier if the jet or helicopter they see is a friend or foe. They were developed in cooperation with Vuzix, the same company that makes video glasses for consumers. The glasses use a head tracker to tell where the wearer is looking, and could detect whether a jet is friendly from 30 miles out.
We have two robots to share with you, courtesy of Kevin Fubar. Both of these robots are around two feet tall, but there the similarity ends.
The Omnibot (the one with the glowing blue eyes), is a hack of an old Tomy Omnibot from the 1980s. DJ Sures took apart one of these twenty year old robots and rebuilt it from the inside, making it stronger by adding servos to the arms, making it smarter by loading in all kinds of programming he swiped from his other 'bot projects, adding a camera to give it vision, a microphone for voice response capability and it has an ultrasonic sensor for navigation. In the video below, you can see the robot chilling and watching some tube, then getting bored and walking away.
The next robot, called DONA by designer Min Su Kim, is designed to do a task usually taken by volunteers. It solicits donations. There aren't many details of the specifics on how DONA works, but it seems to respond well to the people. It looks down whenever someone throws in a donation and blinks cutely. In the video, there is a line forming to give the little guy cash. Maybe they could add to the programming so he could do a little dance? Pretty cool!
That's a wrap for SlashGear Science Week in Review. Thanks for reading, and see you next week!

While working on my genealogical research, I came across a mystery that I wanted to solve. There were five deaths in the same family in within weeks of each other. Three of those deaths were in the same household.
I had some anecdotal information about the cause of death, but with what historical information I've found, it wasn't adding up. I ran across several very lengthy articles about a typhoid fever epidemic that hit their home town. Even if no one in my family had gotten sick, the story would be family related because of the size of the epidemic and the size of the town, but I had a hunch that my relatives all perished in the during the epidemic.
They did.
And it turns out that my grandmother had typhoid fever, too. She was only a teenager at the time. Her's was the household that had three deaths. She lost two of her brothers and an uncle. Because of the deaths, my great-grandfather was left without enough help on his farm, so he hired a young man.
The population of the locality was 5000. One thousand of those citizens were furnished milk from the same farmer. Of those 1000, there were 116 cases of typhoid fever and 14 deaths. That was a death rate of over 12 percent of those infected.Very sad statistics for our family.
My grandmother got well and the new hired hand eventually fell in love with her and married her. The young hired hand became my grandfather. Though the loss of family is permanent, so has been the result of taking on new help. My grandmother and grandfather had ten children!
I love that part of the story.

About | About Darren
About Darren
In essence, when you return from a trip that Travel Sommelier has orchestrated for you, there is a look that I want to see in your eyes, or a tone in your voice ... and if it is not there, I will be severely disappointed.
After a rewarding 18 year career masquerading as a corporate bond salesman on Wall Street, I resigned in 2010 to incorporate Travel Sommelier, the fulfilment of a longheld ambition. TravelSommelier is a luxury safari and bespoke wine tourism entity that instills a tailor made ethos to personal travel, something that many travel consultants pay lip service to, but do not always deliver.
I have been a passionate traveller from an early age and in addition to traveling to all seven continents have had the privilege of navigating in excess of sixty countries. I've experienced countries from the bottom up & from the top down - traveling as a student with limited means through to traveling on a very healthy budget. I am acutely aware that simply paying top dollar does not ensure you achieve all of your goals on a particular trip, just as I am very sensitive to structuring itineraries that ensure visitors go off the beaten track, eat at local restaurants, take the left fork in the road, but never lose sight of the fact that there are trip highlights to experience.
The inspiration for Travel Sommelier emanated largely from these firsthand experiences but also from a realization that, after assisting either work colleagues, clients or friends and neighbors with safari trips to my native Southern Africa, I have a talent for structuring distinctive trips. To witness upon their return just how deeply a family can bond on a trip of this nature or how a couple can talk about having experienced the trip of a lifetime is a great reward. It was these responses that bought into sharp focus the point that determining a traveler's very particular needs and providing incisive advice & insights were invaluable services.
Finally, it bears underlining a key philosophy behind Travel Sommelier. I am not comfortable recommending a trip or a product unless I have an intimate knowledge of the product and destination. This means, in most cases, having visited properties and undertaken trips to appreciate local logistics. In essence, once I have seen, touched and smelt a product at grass roots level, I am in a better position to match itineraries with a traveler's goals & expectations.

Real easy to do badly!
We are in a high-priced neighborhood so it is in the vicinity of $250-300 for a pro job. You can pay less for a hack job, I suppose. As Rick says, it is not as easy as it looks.

re. price, expect a premium of about 25% on bound fingerboards. Your Kalamazoo probably is unbound, right? The trickiest thing about refretting a mando is getting the frets to stay down. The tangs and slots are pretty narrow, and the barbs are pretty slight. Mando refrets take a level of finesse beyond guitars.
Hey I resemble that remark! but it wasn't that easy...Originally Posted by (Rick Turner @ Nov. 08 2006, 22:25)
I cut my losses and quit after the first five which I managed to get level and restore good playability- sure looked ugly at the ends though.

Rick,Originally Posted by
Now you tell me! I just finished refretting my first mando - don't see a problem yet, but I'm worried about my frets staying down. I have the Stew Mac book, Fret Works, and they say that if the frets don't hold, use hide glue or Titebond. What about that? Is that a good idea?
I don't have a radiused fingerboard, do have binding, and used medium fret wire to replace the narrow I had on there. I got it level easily enough, but a few frets I had to hammer down a bit more.
See? Just as Rick said- easier said than done- properly and something that will last. Especially if the fingerboard is bound. Difficult? Done properly? Minimal chipout on the fingerboard? Fret ends not coming up later? Add that all together and you will understand why it's a job. I basically refuse to do it and think highly of those luthiers who will take it on and do a good job. It takes special talents to do it right.

It is pretty easy if you have done it a few hundred times and if nothing goes wrong. # #Expect to pay $10-15 per fret, and budget for a new nut and some setup time. #
Sometimes there is no substitute for experience, and this is one of those times. #Finish work is another.
Will Kimble
Yes, and yes. Superglue is great for holding frets down...but you can screw up mightily with that, too. We use superglue. We're careful!
Did you overlay the fret ends or just try to go flush with the inner line of the binding?
I overlayed the binding. Is that going to be a problem with the frets lifting? Need to superglue???
I heated the frets with a tip used for wood burning - protected my fretboard with the metal fret protectors that stew mac sells. And then pulled the frets gently using fret pullers (again from Stew Mac). Minimum chipout - just minor on a couple of frets. The first few frets had slots from the strings worn into them, so I definitely needed to do the refretting. And since its my mandolin, my first one, if I screwed up, live and learn - gotta learn somehow.
I have a pearl nut on this one - might have to replace it too. But that's fine.
This was the first mando I built - I built it a couple of years ago, and the neck was a bit thick - couple people (good mandolin players) remarked on that, so I decided to thin down the neck too and refinish it (since I was putting a varnish finish on another mandolin).
If I screwed it up too badly, I'll just have to build another! Actually, that's already in the plans....
In my limited personal experience, I have gotten the best results with superglue by putting a drop on clean scrap wood and then using a single edge razor blade (dull box cutter blades work well) to transfer some down inside the fret slot. You get over a minute to set things up if you aren't using accellerant and that is longer than you think. Be careful - it is really difficult to get it completely off wood if you get some on the finger board.Originally Posted by (Rick Turner @ Nov. 09 2006, 20:00)

I started playing a $300 mandolin and I couldn't see $300 more for a fret job. I figured that if I was going to keep wearing them out, I may as well learn to change them. I got the book from stew mac and dove in. I have done a couple of refrets and a couple of partial refret and levels. Mine don't look as pretty on the ends as those that i've seen done by talented luthiers, but they seem to stay in and the ends don't stick up and cut my fingers. I will work on my stuff, but I don't see how you guys can dig into other peoples expensive vintage instruments. I would be terrified. Friends have asked me to work on their stuff and I always sent them to someone who is willing to take that kind of risk and liability.
Tony Bare
Well, it looks to me like you guys are headed in the right direction here.
Work on vintage pieces can be nerve-wracking. I've refretted a guitar that sold for $125,000.00 (1941 D-45), and one that was bought for $250,000.00 (Buddy Holly's SJ-45). You just keep the coffee on the low caffein side the day you do it, and you lock the shop and turn off the phone. Then you just go in and do a good job.
You have brass ones Rick. I get nervous just changing strings!
And I would imagine that bar frets are even more difficult?

Yes, but that D-45 had "normal" frets.
Bar frets are interesting, to say the least. Martin is on-again, off-again with supplying them, and I don't know where they are at now. If I were to get into doing bar frets, I'd get nickel silver rod and then take it to a jeweler or metal fabricator who had a rolling mill and custom make the stuff to size. Yes, PITA, but what else to do? I suspect there's a nice little market for custom bar fret wire. Hmmm...
Embergher bowlbacks were only made with bar frets even into the late 1930s. Not sure why they preferred those. I can't imagine that it made all that much difference in sound.
I also had a friend who needed some refretting on his Vega cylinderback so I sent him some bars from a basket case I had. Not sure what ever happened or if his luthier was able to use them.

I think there's a case to be made in favor of bar frets when it comes to helping to increase sustain. There's more mass there at the termination of the string. Electric guitarists certainly notice the tonal difference between fret sizes.
I'm going to get the frets dressed,not replace.Just ta let ya know
You start a thread entitled Replacing frets and your first question is "and what do most people charge to do it?My kalamazoo needs new frets soon" and then you say "I'm going to get the frets dressed,not replace.Just ta let ya know"
You sure know how to waste peoples' time.
I'm sorry if i WASTED anybodys time on here.I was justing asking about the frets.I had it looked at today and i dont need frets,just need them dressed.Thanks anyway.I'm new to all this and i know i ask alot.I just want to learn.Is that wrong?If so i'll quit bothering everybody.sorry paul
..dont worry about wasting peoples time...thats what this board is for...learning...learning is not time wasted...who knows maybe you will want to change your own frets someday then you can go back a remember what you learned from this post by "wasting peoples time". Paul we all know you are a professional in what you do and I for one appreciate your posts ..some of us are not professionals...including myself..I like to read and learn.
Easy, pay a good luthier to do it for you!
Right on, Scotti
is there nowhere an amateur can go to ask questions anymore. First Rick scared everybody away from the AG column and now paul is givig attitude on this board. come on guys, this is just somethingv to do, if your time was so valuable you wouldnt be here anyway. try to enjoy it.

My sega cdx has problems. The genesis part works perfectly. The cd part seems to work on certain games. Mortal kombat cd works perfectly every time. On some other games, the disc starts spinning, then a clicking noise starts and I get a no disc message. Other times the disc keeps spinning and I get a "searching for disc", or "please wait." Any advice would be helpful. Thanks alot.

LAKE CHARLES, La. (AP) - McNeese State coach Matt Viator says he has met with Tyrann Mathieu, but the former LSU All-American has not decided whether he will transfer to the school.
McNeese State released a statement from its coach Saturday.
LSU kicked Mathieu off the team Friday for a violation of athletic department rules.
Viator says he received a call from the 20-year-old cornerback Friday. The coach met with Mathieu in Lake Charles for 90 minutes.
To McNeese State's knowledge, Mathieu has not made a decision on where he plans to resume his college career.
McNeese State is an FCS school that competes in the Southland Conference. Mathieu can play this season if he transfers down a level from FBS to FCS.

Once again, I sat down to create a Style Sudoku with pieces from Topshop, capturing how I'd love to dress at the moment if I had a) an unlimited budget to buy all of the above b) appropriate occasions to wear dressier looks like the two circling around that white pencil skirt and c) warmer temperatures.
As you can see it's quite obvious which colours I love to wear atm: white, black, grey, blue and silver.
How would you love to dress in spring? I'd be thrilled if some of you created their own style sudoku's and post the links to it underneath this post, it would be fun to check out the looks you'd come up with! :)

been going over 10 yrs. one night with another couple i guess they decided we did not leave enough tip so on the charge on the debit to the bank the tip was upped to 23 and some change. i called the bank and had this stopped. since then upon returning we are shunned. we always get the same thing dont even need menus. this last time in march i was charge 2.99 for a half a rampkin of chopped cilantro. i guess it was out of meaness. heck i can get a bunc at walmart for .88 cent. had to ask for tea refills. the dinner was good but after the 2.99 charge it kinda ruined the meal. I knew it was out of meaness because I have never been charged in the past 10 yrs for it! the husband wife owners wait the tables so they get the tips to pay the ones that wait on you that cannot understand english and i guess they just dont think 18% is enough. well they lost our business and we will never refer another friend or aqquaintence (sp). didnt confront owner just will never go back

A woman was injured and her pet dog killed after being struck by lightning in Aberdeen.
The incident happened on Scotstown Moor in the Bridge of Don area around 4pm on Tuesday.
It is understood the woman was treated for minor burns at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary and was "very distressed" about the death of her dog, which is believed to be a boxer.
A friend told the Press and Journal: "She is too upset to speak, but we believe that it was a freak accident that could have happened to anyone.
"Although she was hurt herself, the lady is very distressed about the dog.
"Her partner has been working away and that has made the situation worse, although he is expected home later today."
A spokesman for NHS Grampian confirmed a patient had been released from hospital after suffering burns.
