The following is a list of unnamed Xindi.
Xindi AquaticsEdit
Xindi-Aquatic buildersEdit
A number of Xindi-Aquatics were seen to be working on the Xindi weapon on Azati Prime shortly before its launch. (ENT: "Azati Prime")
Xindi-Aquatic councilorEdit
The Xindi-Aquatic councilor was the male member of the Aquatic representation on the Xindi Council, serving alongside his female counterpart Kiaphet Amman'sor. He told Jonathan Archer that, although his evidence of the Sphere-Builders' plot to destroy the Human race and take over the Delphic Expanse was compelling, it was inconclusive. He further told Archer that the Reptilian capture of Hoshi Sato would not hasten their decision on whether they should help in stopping the launch of the Xindi weapon. (ENT: "Countdown")
Xindi-Arboreal 1Edit
This Xindi-Arboreal was a production worker at Gralik's kemocite facility. (ENT: "The Shipment")
Xindi-Arboreal 2Edit
The Arboreal #2 was an associate of Gralik's at the kemocite production facility. When Gralik stated that the last production of kemocite was impure, the Arboreal explained that a ruptured shield had caused the problem. He met with Degra when Gralik could not be found. (ENT: "The Shipment")
Xindi-Arboreal 3Edit
The Arboreal #3 was an associate of Gralik's at the kemocite production facility. When ordered to increase production by sixty percent, he complained that Degra was demanding too much. He was informed by Gralik, the head of the facility, that it was his job to make kemocite, not comment on policy. (ENT: "The Shipment")
Xindi-Arboreal 4Edit
This Xindi-Arboreal was a production worker at Gralik's kemocite facility. (ENT: "The Shipment")
Xindi-Arboreal from databaseEdit
A picture of a Xindi-Arboreal was included in a database retrieved from a Xindi ship by Osaarian pirates, and later by Enterprise. (ENT: "Extinction")
Xindi-Arboreal pilotEdit
The Xindi-Arboreal pilot landed on the Loque'eque homeworld in 2153 and was infected with the mutagenic virus. He was hunted down by some decon agents who stopped him and exterminated him. (ENT: "Extinction")
Xindi-Avian Edit
The skull of this Xindi-Avian was kept at the Avian fortress used by the Xindi Council. (ENT: "The Council")
Xindi-Insectoid AideEdit
The Xindi-Insectoid aide was one of two representatives on the Xindi Council. When Captain Jonathan Archer came before the Council, the aide was angry that a Human was allowed to appear before them, and did not believe Archer's evidence that the council was being manipulated by the Sphere-Builders. The aide joined the Reptilians in resigning from the council and stealing the Xindi weapon. (ENT: "The Council")
Xindi-Insectoid CouncilorEdit
The Xindi-Insectoid councilor was the representative of its species on the Xindi Council. Its name was very long, because of its advanced age, and could be difficult for non-Insectoids to pronounce.
The Insectoid councilor often agreed with Commander Dolim during Council debates, urging quick and decisive action against the Human threat. It was very worried about the presence of Enterprise NX-01 in Xindi space, fearing that vessel was the first of a hundred ships coming to invade. The councilor recommended that Enterprise be destroyed, and threatened to annihilate the ship without the Council's approval, if the Xindi weapon was not finished quickly. (ENT: "The Xindi")
Like Dolim, the Insectoid councilor favored alternatives to the weapon being developed by Degra, such as a bio-weapon. However, the Council overruled its and Dolim's proposal. (ENT: "Rajiin")
When Captain Jonathan Archer came before the Council in February of 2154 to persuade them to stop the launch of the weapon, the Insectoid councilor was unconvinced. Worried that the rest of the Council would stop the launch of the weapon, it assisted Dolim in stealing the weapon. However, when spatial anomalies were used by the Guardians to protect the weapon during battle, it began to realize there was some truth in Archer's assertions that the Guardians and the Sphere-Builders were one and the same. When the councilor confronted Dolim with its suppositions, Dolim destroyed its ship. (ENT: "The Council", "Countdown")
Xindi-Insectoid HatchlingEdit
A dead Xindi-Insectoid hatchling was discovered by the Enterprise crew on a derelict Xindi-Insectoid ship in 2153. Jonathan Archer was contaminated by a neurotoxin produced by Xindi-Insectoid eggs, which caused him to care for the eggs like a Xindi-Insectoid. (ENT: "Hatchery")
Xindi-Insectoid SoldierEdit
The Xindi-Insectoid soldier was part of the boarding party that attacked Enterprise NX-01 to take Rajiin with them, so they could use her biometric scans of the crew to construct a bio-weapon. The Insectoid soldier fired an energy weapon that knocked MACO G. Austin to the ground. However, after Malcolm Reed hurled a stun grenade toward the Insectoid, the soldier was driven back, quickly hiding behind a corner just before the explosive device detonated. (ENT: "Rajiin")
Xindi-Primate CrewmanEdit
A Xindi-Primate Crewman was kidnapped along with Degra and Thalen by Jonathan Archer in an attempt to trick Degra into revealing the location of the Xindi weapon.
In 2153, he assisted Degra in testing the second prototype of the Xindi weapon in the Calindra system. (ENT: "Stratagem", "Proving Ground")
Xindi-Primate CouncilorEdit
The Xindi-Primate councilor was one of the representatives of his race on the Xindi Council; he was a colleague to Degra.
When Enterprise first entered the Delphic Expanse on its search for the Xindi weapon, he speculated the starship's presence might be a coincidence, but nevertheless suggested that Commander Dolim use his contacts to gather all the information he could about the Humans. (ENT: "The Xindi")
He voted against the development of the Xindi bio-weapon, because there was not enough information available on the Humans to make it feasible. When Commander Dolim acquired that information through Rajiin's infiltration of Enterprise, he worried that the Xindi had been exposed to the Humans. (ENT: "Rajiin")
When Captain Jonathan Archer approached the Council (claiming that the Xindi were being lied to and that Humans were not a threat to the Xindi), he was unconvinced. He was especially suspicious of the fact that Archer attempted a diplomatic solution only after he failed to blow up the weapon with photonic torpedoes. He was wary of bringing Archer before the full Council, recognizing that the Council was fractured enough as it was. (ENT: "Azati Prime", "E²")
However, once Degra was murdered by Dolim, the councilor moved to assist Jannar in supporting Archer. He said that, though he had argued with Degra many times, only a fool would ignore him when he spoke. If Degra believed that Humans and Xindi had a future together, he would support that vision. The councilor committed Primate forces to the battle to stop the launch of the Xindi weapon. He also crewed Degra's shuttle, when Archer used it to go after the weapon in the subspace vortex. (ENT: "The Council", "Countdown", "Zero Hour")
Other appearances Edit
- "Proving Ground"
- "Damage"
Xindi-Reptilian AideEdit
The Xindi-Reptilian aide informed Dolim that a Reptilian ship was destroyed and its debris found. Degra destroyed the Reptilian ship when it tried to stop him from taking Jonathan Archer to the Xindi Council. (ENT: "The Council")
Xindi-Reptilian Boarding PartyEdit
The Xindi-Reptilian boarding party of about fifteen soldiers attacked Enterprise NX-01 in order to take Rajiin away with them so that they could use her biometric scans to construct a bio-weapon. Three of the warriors were shot by MACOs, three others fired a jelly-like substance that incapacitated crewmen, and another fought hand-to-hand with Captain Archer while two others broke Rajiin out of the brig. The Xindi-Reptilian left behind on the ship committed suicide rather than be captured alive. (ENT: "Rajiin")
Xindi-Reptilian CaptainEdit
The Reptilian captain commanded a Xindi-Reptilian warship that intercepted Enterprise NX-01 as it was attempting to dock with Degra's ship to meet with Degra and Jannar to prove to them that they were being manipulated by the Sphere-Builders. The captain demanded that Degra dock with him, so he could destroy Enterprise. Degra, however, sided with Archer and destroyed the Reptilian ship. (ENT: "The Forgotten")
Xindi-Reptilian CommanderEdit
The Reptilian commander, along with Degra, was in charge of obtaining enough kemocite from the Xindi-Arboreals for a test of the Xindi weapon. When he arrived at the kemocite production facility, he complained that the Arboreals were lazy creatures. When Gralik, the head of the facility, could not be found, he sent automated seekers to find him. (ENT: "The Shipment")
Xindi-Reptilian CouncilorEdit
The Xindi-Reptilian Councilor was a member of the Xindi Council who participated in a discussion about the arrival of Enterprise NX-01 in the Delphic Expanse. The Xindi-Reptilians and Xindi-Insectoids believed it was the beginning of an invasion. (ENT: "The Xindi", "Exile")
Xindi-Reptilian CrewmanEdit
The Xindi-Reptilian crewman was with Dolim during the launch of the Xindi weapon. He was among the Reptilians killed when Dolim's ship was destroyed. (ENT: "Zero Hour")
Xindi-Reptilian Guard 1Edit
This Xindi-Reptilian guard accompanied Damron back to Earth during the year 2004, in order to test a bio-weapon on 21st century Humans. He was killed by Archer and T'Pol, who foiled the plot. (ENT: "Carpenter Street")
Xindi-Reptilian Guard 2Edit
This Xindi-Reptilian guard accompanied Damron back to Earth during the year 2004, in order to test a bio-weapon on 21st century Humans. He was killed by Jonathan Archer, in the building where the Xindi were conducting their experiments, when Archer destroyed their temporal beacon, which prevented them from bringing back what they had collected so far. (ENT: "Carpenter Street")
Xindi-Reptilian InterrogatorEdit
The Xindi-Reptilian interrogator was one of the guards with Dolim when Jonathan Archer was captured and questioned. (ENT: "Azati Prime")
Xindi-Reptilian LieutenantEdit
The Xindi-Reptilian lieutenant questioned the intentions of the Sphere-Builders, during the operation to launch the Xindi weapon to destroy Earth. Commander Dolim told him that, if he ever again questioned him or the Sphere-Builders, the lieutenant's skin would adorn Dolim's ship. He later commanded the team that supervised the arming of the Xindi weapon. When the weapon was stormed by Enterprise personnel, the lieutenant was killed by Lieutenant Reed. (ENT: "The Council", "Countdown", "Zero Hour")
Xindi-Reptilian PilotEdit
The Xindi-Reptilian pilot was a military officer and a member of Commander Dolim's regiment. He was selected by Dolim to pilot a one-man, destructive Xindi probe on a mission to attack Earth. (ENT: "Azati Prime") In order to reach the planet, the pilot journeyed through a subspace vortex, bypassing Starfleet and the defense grid. After exiting the vortex in Earth's orbit, he successfully completed his mission, using the probe to carve a swath of destruction from Florida to Venezuela, while transmitting telemetry back to the Xindi Council. The pilot subsequently set the probe to self-destruct.
However, his deceased body accompanied debris from the probe on a journey to Central Asia, where it was recovered by a Vulcan transport and then placed in cold storage by Starfleet. The pilot's corpse was Starfleet's first indication of how the Xindi looked and was seen by Captain Archer, before he, as commander of the NX-class Enterprise, led a search for the Xindi species. (ENT: "The Expanse") After being captured by the Xindi, Archer was interrogated by Dolim and learned that the Xindi commander believed the pilot's name would "go down in history," and would be "spoken with reverence, a testament to the superiority of the cold-blooded." (ENT: "Azati Prime")
Xindi-Reptilian Soldier 1Edit
This Xindi-Reptilian soldier was with Dolim during the launch of the Xindi weapon and abduction of Hoshi Sato. Dolim wished to use Sato's talents to decode the other Xindi's launch codes. The soldier commented that she was strong-willed for a primate. He was apparently among the Reptilians killed when Dolim's ship was destroyed by the Kumari. (ENT: "The Council", "Countdown", "Zero Hour")
Xindi-Reptilian Soldier 2Edit
In an alternate timeline, this Xindi-Reptilian soldier boarded – among other Xindi – Enterprise and shot at Jonathan Archer, near the ship's warp core. Archer was able to initialize the subspace implosion, shortly before he died. (ENT: "Twilight")
Xindi-Reptilian SoldiersEdit
Xindi-Reptilian soldiers, in an alternate timeline, boarded Enterprise in order to destroy what was left of the Human race. As Jonathan Archer, T'Pol, and Phlox worked at the warp core to set up a catastrophic subspace implosion to restore the timeline, the Xindi soldiers killed Phlox and T'Pol. Archer was also shot, but after stabbing one of the Xindi, he managed to initiate the subspace implosion before he died and thereby restored the timeline. (ENT: "Twilight")
Xindi-Reptilian TechnicianEdit
The Xindi-Reptilian technician, with the rank of lieutenant, was responsible for getting the Xindi weapon underway.
He was ordered, by Commander Dolim, to watch Hoshi Sato, as she was working to decrypt the Xindi-Aquatics' activation code for the weapon. When it was revealed that Sato was still resisting their attempts to decrypt the sequence, this technician discovered that she had actually added an additional decryption layer to it. Once Sato became more cooperative and able to get the third activation code decrypted, the technician continued to work on getting the weapon armed. (ENT: "Countdown")
Enterprise-J crewmember Edit
In a possible 26th century, at least one Xindi served on board the USS Enterprise-J. Temporal Agent Daniels gave the initiation medal of this crewmember to Captain Jonathan Archer. (ENT: "Azati Prime")

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 8/4/2013 (1597 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
To say that Harold "Hal" Spielman's life changed when his wife of 32 years died from cancer five years ago would be an understatement.
"I was alone for the first time in my life. I felt lost. I didn't know where the chequebook was," Spielman, 85, recalls from his home in suburban New York.
Although he had built a successful market and communications research business with Fortune 500 companies as clients, he didn't know how to cope with being suddenly single.
In need of both practical advice and emotional support, Spielman turned to the Internet. Though there were countless books and resources for widowed or divorced women, he found virtually nothing for men -- especially mature men like himself.
So Spielman, a sociologist by training, became his own expert. He completed seven separate in-depth surveys with more than 1,000 divorced and widowed men (and 600 women) over the age of 55 to find out how other people were navigating the new uncoupled terrain and what they wanted moving forward.
The result is Suddenly Solo: A Lifestyle Road Map for the Mature, Widowed or Divorced Man. The self-published book (which he co-wrote with golf buddy and business associate Marc Silbert), also spawned a website (suddenlysolo.org), where Spielman found himself an unexpected advice columnist under the heading Ask Hal.
His research, which addresses everything from "malnutrition avoidance" to loneliness to "sex (again)" to starting (and ending) a new relationship, has also landed him on national talk shows and promotional tours.
"This thing has gone way, way beyond anything I imagined," says Spielman. "I think we tapped into an area where there was an enormous gap."
While not as helpless, perhaps, as the gent in Spielman's book who had no idea how or where to find the pressed white shirts that stopped magically appearing in his closet after his wife died, Winnipegger Gene Walz, 70, can speak to the social and emotional void that often accompanies male widowhood.
"There was nothing out there. Men really are on their own," says the retired University of Manitoba film professor, who lost his wife of 37 years, Kathy, to cancer in 2011.
While mourning memoirs by Joan Didion and Joyce Carol Oates provided some solace, he says, books from the male perspective on loss and grief were noticeably absent from the genre.
Men of his generation were typically raised to stifle their emotions, Walz says, so to cope with the anguish of watching his wife succumb to a painful disease, on top of the stress of handling all the household duties, he kept working full-time.
"I just put my nose to the grindstone," says Walz, whose two daughters live in other cities. "I was physically and emotionally depleted by the time she died."
Someone from Cancer Care Manitoba did call to suggest counselling -- three weeks after her death -- but Walz says it was too little, too late. In retrospect, he admits it might have helped.
Because Kathy had been in remission from lymphoma since 1987, Walz says they often discussed what would happen if she relapsed. So it wasn't her death, exactly, that was unexpected.
"What you don't prepare for," he says, "is the complete change of everything" -- schedules, habits, social interactions, the way you interact with the world.
The toughest part, says Walz, who is tanned, fit and active, is no longer being a couple. "All I know is I don't get as many invites as I used to."
In his book, Spielman reassures suddenly single men that they are far from alone and, in fact are "part of a vast and growing legion" that accounts for about 17 per cent of the American population.
While that may be true if you account for the divorce rate, Canadian sociologist Deborah van den Hoonaard says widowers, as a group, are something of a rare breed. In what is likely one of the first, and only, academic books devoted entirely to them, she validates Spielman and Walz's experiences.
"Because there are proportionately so few widowers, they have an atypical status, with few peers to assist in adjustment and socialization," van den Hoonaard writes in 2010's By Himself: The Older Man's Experience of Widowhood.
By age 85, according to the book, almost 56 per cent of men remain married, compared with just 12 per cent of women.
Nonetheless, as the New Brunswick author points out, that's still more than 300,000 widowers in Canada -- men about whom we know remarkably little.
"Widowers are pretty well ignored in research, partially because older people in general aren't studied very much outside of health issues," van den Hoonaard says during a phone interview.
Between 2000 and 2002, the sociologist interviewed 26 widowers (19 in urban and rural Atlantic Canada and seven in Florida retirement communities) over the age of 60. When asked what was the most surprising aspect of their experience, most answered just the fact of being widowed, period.
"It is so unexpected for men to become widowers that the surprise of it is overwhelming," says van den Hoonaard. "Even if their wives had been sick a long time, they still didn't expect that they would be the ones left alone."
Most widowed men, she found, are not as helpless as the stereotype suggests -- Spielman's book contains a chart of maximum food-storage times and several pages of personal-care tips. What she did find, though, was that older men especially viewed taking on the "feminine tasks" of cooking and housekeeping as a challenge to their masculinity.
What van den Hoonaard's interviews and Spielman's research did confirm is the commonly held belief that most widowers will want to find a new woman, usually sooner than later. One-third of her subjects had remarried or were in an exclusive relationship.
In Spielman's surveys, 22 per cent of men said it was "extremely important" to have a woman in their lives (compared with only nine per cent of women who felt likewise about a man). But where 73 per cent of divorced men were dating within six months of becoming single, only 27 per cent of widowers had dated in that same period.
Interestingly, van den Hoonaard found that because they lack a peer or "reference group," with which to identify, many widowers look to their younger, bachelor selves as role models for being single again. Unfortunately, neither they nor the social landscape was the same as it had been.
Walz can attest to that. While he has tried a couple of Internet dating sites that cater specifically to seniors, he's disheartened by how many people misrepresent themselves in their profiles.
Where 22 per cent of the coupled men in Spielman's surveys met the woman they're with online, the biggest category (26 per cent) became involved with a woman they'd known in their past.
"They're thinking back to the cheerleader they remember when they were in college. They find out that she's been widowed, so they meet. They've got some history," he says. "Or maybe it's a friend of their wife's. It becomes a very easy transition."
While Walz says he could have three or four dates per week from the websites, he has not been visited by the so-called "casserole brigade." This is one of the biggest stereotypes of widowhood: that when a woman dies, a procession of love-starved widows will show up to bring the widower home-cooked food.
Spielman warns his male readers that women will be at their doorstep with meatloaf. Because of the ratios alone, he says, "Women will become very interested at some point in a widowed or divorced man, and food is one of the ways they'll try to get to him." (In the chapter called The Search, Spielman suggests single gents turn a three-ring binder (with alphabetical dividers and ruled paper) into a Dating Dossier, with a page for every woman they have a social relationship with.)
Sitcom stereotypes aside, the statistics do bear out that it's a buyer's market for widowed men.
Do the math, says van den Hoonaard. "There are about six times as many widows as widowers. Most widows don't want to remarry, but even if only one-third do, that's still two women for every man -- assuming every man wants to remarry, which he doesn't. So the balance is really off kilter."
Of course, statistics don't always paint an accurate picture when it comes to matters of the human heart.
"I had a good marriage with a smart, caring and adventurous wife and it's hard to settle for something less," says Walz.
He's been sustained, he says, because he has lots of friends, many interests and different circles of friends to share them with.
His advice to men who find themselves in his position is to remain socially active -- and open to new possibilities.
"Get your balance after you've been jarred and try to maintain it," Walz says. "Don't settle -- for being single the rest of your life, or for the first pleasant woman who comes along.

7 Jun 1947 — 1058 Marshfield Ave, Chicago, Illinois, United States
Julia died 7 Jun 1947. Here is her findagrave page I did:
I believe her name is Mazurkiewics. But one source says her maiden name is Pontera. If she is not a Mazurkiewicz, she is very closely related. I hope to find more proof of her maiden name & relationships to my Mazurkiewicz family.

I was happy to find this, because I'd seen it years ago and since then many designers have copied it. But what makes this one different is that it comes on a beautiful little cherry wood tray and it's better designed than the copies. look at all the images to see it in different configurations and views.

I would love to get my hands on this! Our homemade pizza nights happen almost everyweek but each time I'm diappointed with the regular pizza wheel we use to slice them up. Being able to slice cleanly through thick or thin slices not only makes the job easier, but when serving it up it also looks better. This would be great not only for our regular pizza nights, but I know it would get our company talking as well!

Beach Decor Tablescape
Decorating your beach-inspired table with pink and white brings a soft and romantic feel to your celebration. Add some seashells, starfish, beach umbrellas and white roses... Ahhhh. Serenity.
Decorating your beach-inspired table with pink and white brings a soft and romantic feel to your celebration. Add some seashells, starfish, beach umbrellas and white roses... Ahhhh. Serenity.
These beach decor ideas would pair perfectly with a relaxed baby shower using the theme and a pink color scheme to welcome a new baby girl.
With a handful of seashells you can create a tablescape that is reminiscent of wonderful moments on the beach.
Books are a great way to bring interest to a table. You can use them to display or elevate other items of interest. Here, an old book covered in linen is the perfect place to perch a pink and white seashell.
A white rose from the garden floats in a simple glass vase tied with pale pink and white striped ribbon. Simplicity is beautiful.
The stem of a glass is the perfect place for a little embellishment. Craft stores have a variety of beach inspired items that you can add to your table decor. A little sand dollar tied to the stem of this glass helps bring the beach to this table.
Create a playful look to mimic sun umbrellas spotting the beach with little umbrellas resting inside the glasses of sparkling pomegranate lemonade.
You may have just the right piece for your table. A seashell embossed wine cooler took center stage on this beach decor tablescape.
Sometimes a picture that connects to your theme will lend just the right feel to your table when placed on a corner, or propped against a vase or books. This postcard from the sea did just that.
Party favors are simple. Purchase a small white box, fill it with something sweet, and then adhere a small seashell to the box.
A pink and white tablescape sprinkled with starfish, seashells, and white roses...though it's perfect for a baby shower, it's too sweet to resist these ideas for any girly celebration, so what are you waiting for?
See how Dawn Sandomeno and Elizabeth Mascali elevate the every day with their fantastic recipes and ideas!Read More »

Thread: Big uh oh in BOOTMGR town
Big uh oh in BOOTMGR town
Evening all,
So I've got a problem with my PC and I can't work it out. Earlier on I'd just exited Borderlands 2 and left my PC idling while I went to get dinner, as I have done every night for basically my entire life and I'm sure you all do it too, right? I came back and my monitor was just black, but the power was on and no 'check cable' message was up. I tried to ctrl-alt-del it away after I saw that alt-tabbing and general mousing around wasn't doing anything, but nothing happened. I left it for a while and it became apparent that it was just dead, so I hard reset it. When the BIOS was loading I noticed it was only picking up my 2TB D: drive, no DVD nor SSD boot drive, and then I got a message about not having any bootable media and such.
So I turned it off, unplugged all of the drives except for my SSD, turned it back on and the SSD was being picked up again. This time, after the BIOS screens it said 'BOOTMGR is missing', or words to that effect. This made me sad. I opened up my PC properly, unplugged all SATA connectors, re-seated all connections and turned it back on. Bingo, it booted. Satisfied that the problem was just a loose connection, I resumed Borderlands 2.
After about, I don't know, half an hour or so I tried to quit the game again, at which point my system went and locked up again. The screen froze this time, didn't turn black, and the game's music was playing in the background. I ctrl-alt-del'd to get it to respond, the screen went black, the music continued... Nothing. I left it, came back and it was still not responding. Hard reset again, BOOTMGR message again. Opened up the PC, unplugged the SSD's power, plugged it back in, swapped SATA connector with my 2TB drive and now it has booted again.
Now, I would have thought if it was the SSD ageing (I bought it last November) or corrupt files, it would just be dead, kaput, an ex-drive, but it has recovered from the 'BOOTMGR' message twice now. Could it be the drive controller, maybe? But this is an ASUS Z68-V Pro (also bought last November)! Surely they're not as flimsy as that? Perhaps it's the SATA cable, which begs the question: Do I leave the cables swapped and use the cable that could have been causing a problem to connect my 2TB drive and get on with it, which could potentially lead to corrupt data on my drive which holds everything (I consider my SSD to be pretty much expendable as there's nothing more than saves and the OS on there), or do I swap them back and wait for this to happen again? I do have a spare SATA cable so maybe I'll use that, and I do also have a second drive controller on the board so I could move the drives over to that. I wonder if that'll cause any problems in itself, though?
TL, DR: SSD appears to be dying, got 'BOOTMGR missing' twice, managed to get it to boot again after unplugging and replugging. Surely a dead SSD just wouldn't recover like that?
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated, cheers.:emofdr:

I doubt the SSD is screwed (unless you've been defragging repeatedly which you shouldn't do) so it might well be a case of the machine/GPU overheating or some such? Maybe give the case a thorough clean out (remove everything, dust it all off and then replace). See if that sorts it out. Recently I was playing XCOM and I noticed my rig internal lights were glowing red (never a good sign) and it was down to one of the fans having stopped working.
Well, I suppose it might be a faulty SATA cable. You'll know once the problem recurs or if it hasn't after a few weeks. In which case the solution is thankfully simple and cheap.
Standard annoying question: Do you have the latest drivers installed for your motherboard chipset and SATA controller? It would be odd for problems to pop up this way due to driver problems, but then again outdated/missing motherboard drivers are pretty good at causing odd problems.
Thanks, I'll give that a shot but I'd be astonished if it's down to overheating because all my fans are running, my graphics card's fans were barely audible (meaning they had sped up but it wasn't getting overly hot) and switching the computer off and trying again doesn't work, I have to fiddle with the SATA cables and then it works. For a while.
I was just playing again, same game, and it froze after about an hour. This time I didn't try anything, I was just running around and the image froze but the sound didn't. I tried to ctrl-alt-del again, screen went black, music continued but this time I could move and see the cursor. Hard reset, SSD not detected but other drives were, BOOTMGR missing. Tomorrow I'll take my graphics card out, dust a little (assuming PC World sells compressed air) and switch the drives to the other controller. If that doesn't work I'll use my spare SATA cable and if that doesn't work I'll cry and fork out for another SSD. I want one for my Mac eventually anyway so if it turns out to be something else I'll just stick it in there.
Does this sound like a plan or a fool's errand?
Edit: as for motherboard drivers, I haven't touched them since November... Wouldn't the problem have surfaced before now if it was that? I haven't even updated the BIOS, about the only thing I do do is update my graphics drivers. I'm a bad man.

Ok so this is what I've done so far:
Changed the SATA cable
Plugged the SSD into a different port on the same controller.
This hasn't fixed the problem but I have discovered what the BOOTMGR message is about.
Basically, what seems to happen is the SSD becomes disconnected which, understandably, causes a crash. It isn't re-detected and the BIOS selects the next drive to boot from, my 2TB drive, which has no OS installed so I get the BOOTMGR message. If I open the PC, unplug the SATA connector then plug it in again, reboot and open the BIOS settings, tell it to boot from the SSD then it's fine.
I timed it just now and it lasted 56 minutes, 9 seconds before freezing. This time, Borderlands 2 froze for about 10 seconds, came back for maybe 2 seconds then quit itself. Chrome responded for a brief period before quitting (I clicked the RPS bookmark, the address bar changed to www.rockpapershotgun.com but then it closed), Microsoft Security Essentials had a message pop up saying the process had stopped and the iTunes helper said an I/O error had occurred, click here to exit the program. When I clicked the screen went black, the cursor remained (which I could control), then I just hard resetted, turned off the PC before it attempted to boot, opened it, unplugged the SATA connector, plugged it back in and powered it on again and it booted fine.
So it wasn't the cable and I don't think it's the drive controller, but it seems like a physical problem with the SATA connection. If it's the SSD dying then I have no idea why it boots every time as long as I fiddle with the connection first.:emofdr:
Have you tried plugging the SSD into a different controller on the motherboard? I have 2 SATA 6gb controllers on my motherboard, and a quick look at the specs of yours shows the same (2 navy blue and 2 grey ports).
I haven't tried that yet (because my graphics card makes it a real bitch to reach the other controller), but it's the next thing I'm going to try. It just seems odd that after a crash the SSD doesn't show when I reset but the 2TB and DVD drives do. I spoke to my Dad who used to design computers (as in literally) back in the 70's and he seems to think it's a cache flush problem because of the fact that it happens after a certain amount of time, he reckons the SSD isn't clearing some sort of cache so when it overruns it just shuts down, but that doesn't explain why unplugging the data connection fixes the problem. If the other controller doesn't fix it then I guess I have to accept the SSD is dead!:emofdr:

A similar thing was happening with my OCZ vertex 2 drive - in the end, I pulled the files and got a new Samsung one - the drive was barely a year old, and I'd forced a hard shutdown (held the button down) during the shutdown screen (because, you know, it wasn't shutting down). After this point, the drive intermittently worked, and I managed to retrieve critical files before sending it back to OCZ. I have a replacement that I haven't bothered to open - its not worth the trouble.
At any rate, it could be a controller problem? try updating the firmware on it if you can. That apparently can fix poor controller issues, but if the drive if frequently... not responding, I'd say thats a bad sign.
What kind of SSD is it? If there's a firmware update for it, I'd start there. Then motherboard firmware (for the SATA controller updates), and then SATA drivers (Intel RST). Stick to the Intel SATA controller ports if you can.
My guess is that this is a flavor of the ambiguous SATA power spec issue from roughly a year ago. It would cause SSDs in sleep mode to not wake up (and thus also be missing after a reboot, but return once the power had been fully off). OCZ Vertex 3's suffered from this and would randomly BSOD and then go missing. Nobody admitted any fault, and the issue was quietly patched around with new SATA controller and SSD firmwares.
Sorry, I always forget to actually keep up to date on forums and such. It's a Crucial M4 128GB, and I'm convinced the fault is with the drive because I replaced it with an old Deskstar with XP SP3 on it and it's running flawlessly, so it's not likely to be a driver error (as there are no motherboard drivers installed) nor the disk controller. I've just seen that there is a firmware update from September so I'll give that a shot. Here's the changelist:
Version 010G includes the following changes:
- Improved Trim response time
- Improved power-on-to-ready time (known as POR, or TTR for Time-to-ready)
- Improved resume-time from low power modes, and improved reliability of warm reboot
- Improved power consumption by disabling HIPM (Host Initiated Power Management)
Those last two sound relevant, but it's an odd coincidence. I would've thought if it was a problem with firmware I would have had issues the entire time as nothing in my PC's hardware or software (apart from Nvidia drivers) has changed since May.:emofdr:
It's probably no coincidence. SSDs have very aggressively timed power-saving modes, which is why the SATA controller update could help workaround known issues, and why you wouldn't any problems with HDDs on the same setup. Try the new M4 firmware and if that doesn't help contact Crucial support for an RMA, as bad devices do happen sometimes. There was also a bug in the M4 firmware that triggers after 5200 hours of total use (7.12 months).
Oh, and thanks for your help everyone!
Update: Bobtree, I don't want to speak too soon but I think you nailed it. Since updating the BIOS at 1520, it's now 1730 and there hasn't been a crash, previously it would happen within an hour without fail... Touch wood (well, MDF) and all but I'd say this is fixed, thank you incredibly very much!

Firmware update errors might be cause for concern, but if isn't currently broken then don't fix it.
FWIW, when my finicky SSD was throwing BSODs, they were often a week or two apart.
Indeed, I'm happy to let it go until something happens again. Weird thing is the BSOD (my first ever in my life, by the way) happened between agreeing to the license, er, agreement and clicking 'start', I hadn't done anything and it threw a fit. After rebooting I was quicker to click 'start' and then it returned an error, yet the firmware is showing as having been updated and there hasn't been a single crash or wobbly moment since.
I guess I'll get round to working out how to back up my saves with Dropbox and then the SSD can do what it likes, I feel like I stared death in the face and realised it's actually not going to be all that bad when the SSD does finally die... I'll be alright as long as it doesn't physically explode and take my 2TB drive with it! Thanks again, serious amounts of appreciation going on around here.:emofdr:

My "PC Tech Radar" tells me something in your PC is overheating - and not necessarily the usual suspects of CPU or GPU.
Power Supplies can, and do, overheat - and when they do, weird shit happens (graphical freezes/system freezes/drives not spinning up etc. etc.)
Other components can overheat too - tho it's unusual to see a mobo component to overheat without the CPU running fairly hot too - but heatsinks/heatpipes detach or loosen.
I'd certainly be cleaning the PC out, checking all the temps (before and after) and considering a new PSU, even as a backstop because you'll need it sooner or later.
Remember, a PSU failing can take other components with it - so it's really one of the first things you consider changing to eliminate this stuff...

PAPER disks will no longer need to be on display in a vehicle as they are being scrapped from October this year.
As from October 1 drivers will no longer receive a paper disk when taxing their vehicle.
But the DVLA is keen to remind drivers they must still tax their vehicle.
Another change that will be introduced from the beginning of November is the option to pay the tax in instalments.
For vehicle tax starting from November 1, motorists will be able to pay vehicle tax by direct debit annually, biannually or monthly.
There will be no additional handling fees for annual payments but there will be a charge of 5 per cent of vehicle tax for biannual and monthly payments.
This is half the 10 per cent surcharge currently applied to six monthly tax discs.

"I selected Karin Peterson for the Example of Excellence Award in the Graphic Design Emphasis for the Fall 2009 semester. Karin has impressed me time and again with her persistence and commitment to all aspects of her life as a student at Concordia. In the graphic design classes she has shown a continual dedication to work on each project until all options have been tested, and this might mean going through hundreds of versions. She always goes through a multitude of color, layout and font options for each project. Her attention to detail makes her a wonderful layout designer. Her attention to typography makes her designs stand out, and they are consistently at a professional level.
"She has demonstrated this attention to detail outside of class as well, in her positions as Yearbook Editor-in-Chief, and Residential Education and Services: Housing Services: Student Assistant. This year she began working as the Aerie art editor and graphic designer, and has already shown her highly productive and creative abilities in the publicity and planning for the process of creating the Aerie Magazine publication.
"Another area that I have seen Karin's skills and problem solving is in her position as a Mac Lab monitor and assistant. She is continuously eager to help students with a wide range of software questions, and has a gift for troubleshooting computer and printer problems. Her patience enables her to work through a variety of tests in order to come to a working solution to a variety of issues in the Mac Lab.
"Karin was awarded the Gerald Brommer Art Scholarship for the 2009-2010 academic year by the Art Department Faculty. We have each seen her persistence and hard work throughout her time here at Concordia. I believe her commitment to excellence in art and graphic design has been a tremendous asset to Concordia's Art Department and the Graphic Design Emphasis. I am very proud of her development of a personal creative process and production method, and I am certain that she will be successful in whatever she pursues after graduation."
-Prof. Rachel Soo, Assistant Professor of Graphic Design
I selected Jordan Kimura for the Example of Excellence Award for the Fall 2009 semester in the graphic design emphasis. During Jordan's time at Concordia, she has been a very reliable student. She faithfully attends class, consistently has her homework completed, and successfully meets project deadlines. Her creative output shows a high level of creative thinking and artistic achievement. She does all of this while being very active on the tennis team. Various semesters Jordan has had to make special arrangements to work in the lab to make up for times she's had to leave class early for a tennis practice or a competition. She always follows through on this, and continuously puts in extra time outside of class into her work.
I'm very impressed with her ability to perform successfully in a variety of aspects of her creative life. Jordan regularly researches and looks for current and past trends in art and design, and this is reflected in her homework and projects. It is evident that Jordan spends a good deal of time brainstorming and developing the concepts behind her projects. I've noticed that she typically has her final idea for a project fairly detailed and laid out in her sketchbook. As with many artists, the creative process of designing a work may entail the combination of one or more design concepts, and she continues to move through a series of changes and revisions until the completion of the project. Her enthusiasm is quite contagious, both to me as a professor, and to fellow students, and that has a wonderful impact on the graphic design emphasis classes.
I have great confidence that Jordan will continue to develop her creative process and will continue her efforts as an outstanding artist and graphic designer.

I've been working through a few codes in the 'Haynes Raspberry Pi Manual' which has a section on python.
The begging of the program is:

I thought that the limits for the randint were in the module? If not, how do I define it? Will I need to do the same for 'high'? There is nothing in the book to say that this needs to be defined. I have tried to input numbers, but that seems to give me more errors elsewhere.
Thanks in advance...

Amazon:The Lord of the Rings-The Fellowship of the Ring (Platinum Series Special Extended Edition) with Sean Astin and Elijah Wo
Although it does help to have read at least one or two of the books in the trilogy to fully understand this saga and its many life forms, this movie is so visually vibrant that the power of the ring and the weight of the struggle quickly become evident. Yet, this is only the beginning of the saga . . .

Do you really think Apple care for what its customers want? NOPE, they will add stupid things like shake to print before they add support for any network printer.
very good option thank's !
opps best of luck good option
I used truprint from when it came out till I bought my new £40 hp all in one that works with AirPrint! Must admit I would love to see apple allow connection to any wifi printer but would think the real issue is apple has been paid to keep it locked down to a select few and will be like that until the contract expires!
TruPrint is nice, though having support for printing via SMB (a printer shared via Windows, or Samba on Linux and UNIX systems.) Yes, people still use Windows printer sharing, especially in offices (in my line of work, I go to many different offices all the time and rarely see any where printers aren't just shared via a Windows server.)
I have Verizon FIOS w/ their Wireless Router and although the Netgear Genie Program shows my Wireless Printer, my iDevice still can't see it.
I'm wondering if I need to pull my old Netgear router out of retirement and see if that fixes the problem...
Also...for those that are suggesting TruPrint; I'm solely using my ip5 and selling my 4S. I need a solution that doesn't require a jailbreak...

Pizza DiscountMath brain teasers require computations to solve.
The 10" pizza sells for $3.99 at my favorite pizza store. The store claims they have a great deal on the large 12" pizza, which is specially priced at $ 4.31. What is the per cent discount the store is offering?
The small pizza has a diameter of 10" and therefore an area proportional to 10^2 = 100.
The large pizza has a diameter of 12" and therefore an area proportional to 12^2 = 144.
If the pizzas are priced according to their areas, then,
Price of large pizza / Price of small
pizza = (12 / 10)^2 = 1.44
Normal price of large pizza = 1.44 x $3.99 = $5.75.
Thus, discount on large pizza = [1 - ($4.31 / $5.75)] x 100 = 25%.

Explore Right Pokemomn In Cando ND
Instructors that want to take part in the League and come to be champion should first complete a task of gathering all the fitness center badges in their region. Fitness center Badges are fairly enhanced badges normally standing for the kind of nurseling the Gym Leader uses. As in, Brock of Pewter City utilizes Rock kind and also his badge you make from defeating him resembles a boulder in Cando.
Each region has 8 badges, the very first badge is generally easy to obtain while the 8th badge is harder to obtain. In order to defeat the gym leaders, your pet must be solid as well as it normally assists if your pet has a types benefit of the Fitness center Leader in North Dakota. As an example, if you intend to challenge Blaine of the Kanto region, it would certainly be to your benefit to bring a water, rock or ground kind fosterling with you considering that Blaine utilizes Fire type Pokemon in Cando.
When you collect all eight badges you can go to the League. To get to the Organization you have to have all 8 health club badges and could make it via Triumph Road. Success Roadway is a cave that tests you and your fosterling to prove if your worthy to challenge the League. You usually will have to use some steps like browse to maneuver through the rivers and small lakes in the passage in Cando.
Waterfall will certainly help you climb up waterfalls utilizing your pet to aid you. Steps that you will should utilize on land are stamina, rock climb, and rock wreck. You can use your fosterling to press boulders off the beaten track with strength. Rock climb enables you to climb a stream of rocks. Rock smash is an attack that ruins small boulders in your means. It is necessary to have it that could find out these relocations with you so you do not have to record a beauty animal in North Dakota that does.
For the past two years, other creative homeowner working at Niantic, partly owned by Nintendo, have been beavering away, or need to I say 'nurseling' away (yes, it's an actual word) to create the most recent and also best edition that was released on 6 July 2016. On that particular day, the cages were opened and ran, swam as well as flew to all the four edges of the planet where they can be discovered today in North Dakota. Now. I can see them.
Look at this video relevant to pokemon information website in Cando ND on this website:
Why does this matter anyhow in Cando ND?
Certainly I could just see them though my Android looking glass, however Niantic guarantee that soon I will certainly have my very own personal 'Pokemon Go Plus' wearable tool – a kind of lapel clip – that will certainly inform me to the existence of a nurseling nearby as well as allow me to quest it down without touching my phone. All over you take place planet you will certainly see these lapel clips, humming away. Buzz. Buzz. And you assumed smart phones going off in theaters was an interruption in North Dakota!
Bear with me while I use my geek boy glasses for a minute. To start with, It is a sort of 'enhanced truth' system. Many individuals as well as organisations have aimed to take these systems right into the mainstream, with absolutely no industrial success in Cando.
New Revolution in Cando
The very early popularity of Pokemon Go series that increased truth may truly be a new revolution on our front door, altering our lives greater than texting as well as selfies (as an example). Hunting charizard is simply the begin of this revolution. Secondly, the merging of expert system in Cando ND and augmented reality unlocks to a globe where continuous buddies will be with us wherever we go, widely enriching our experience of the globe. Think Siri on Anavar.
Some viewers will keep in mind 'Clippy' and various other efforts to allegedly enhance individuals' experiences of desktop computer productivity software. If you do not bear in mind Clippy, count yourself fortunate. Clippy was an annoying aspirant that occasionally made you feel like punching the screen just making him vanish in Cando. As well as possibly that's the moment below. We don't want enrichment passed off into us.
Exactly what we long for is enrichment that is there when we need it or choose it, like a close friend in our life that we welcome ahead areas with us. It might be beguiling as well as magnetic, yet they don't attack our area unless we decide in. Put simply, close friends are for when we want to play, or share encounters, as well as occasionally when we want to put our hearts out to a great audience in North Dakota. Information flash: Dr Pikachu will see you currently.
It is an increased reality game that installs virtual animals in the physical room. Therefore, virtual as well as physical area co-exist as the digital creatures Pokemon can appear anywhere, even in the garden of your neighbor. The goal of the game is to find and capture them.
The junction of digital and physical room prompted lawyers to start thinking about the effect of augmented truth online games on privacy, data defense, road mishaps, injury claims as well as trespassing.
Privacy as well as Information Defense:
Individual data defense and privacy are amongst the key legal ramifications that need to be taken into consideration as info concerning locations is gathered, shared and saved. Personal information protection affects specialist as well as social life, as well as, the private life of residents.
In Cyprus, 'The Processing of Personal Information (Security of Individual) Regulation of 2001' (138(I)2001) regulates the collection, the procedure as well as the use of personal information.

PUPILS at a village school have enjoyed training in first aid.
A trainer from the charity St John Ambulance visited Broadheath Primary School as part of the school's ongoing commitment to learning first aid.
The school was recently awarded the St John Ambulance Schools Mark award, which is given to schools that show a significant commitment to the safety and health of their pupils, workforce and community.
As part of the award, every year the school trains its year six pupils in the charity's Young first aider programme and also delivers first aid training to its younger students in year four and five.
Andy Hackley, deputy headteacher at Broadheath Primary School, said: "As a school we believe educating children is not just about academic subjects but about developing the whole child.
"First Aid is one way of doing this; it helps develop confidence in the children and teaches them how to stay calm in an emergency.
"We hope they will never have to deal with a serious incident but if they do they will know what to do."
Last year, more than 10,500 young people in the West Midlands were trained through schools and the charity has a dedicated website - teachthedifference.org.uk - offering schools free or low cost resources to help increase the number of young people learning first aid.

God of War III - PS3
Release Date:March 16, 2010
Also on:PlayStation 3 PS4
Viewing USA:Also on UK.
God of War 3 is extremely eye pleasing and the cut scenes and graphics are among the top in terms of Playstation 3 graphics to date. The game is up to four times as big as it's earlier release. The storyline is very good and will hold your attention until the end.
Super Gamer Dude
PlayStation 3
God of War III on the PlayStation 3 brings epic battles to life with graphics and an elaborate plot that put Kratos at the center of carnage and destruction. Fans and gamers who are very much into mythology will find God of War III as interesting as the famous mythologies in the world. Now with the last installment in the saga which is made exclusively for the PlayStation 3 game console, this action-packed single-player game will surely put players and fans alike on the edge of their seats.
God of War III is still true to its series roots, exemplifying the four different pillars of gameplay, namely: brutal combats, complex puzzles, continuous exploration of awe-inspiring worlds and a compelling story. Whether you're already a long-time fan of the game or if you've just started in your God of War adventure, this installment will surely not disappoint you.
The main point in the God of War III is that it is the epic conclusion to the Greek mythological trio. This installment completes the story of Kratos, which was the original title for the PlayStation 2 version. Players are able to use new deadly weapons that aid them in their adventure throughout the game. Weapons like the Cestus, some powerful metal gauntlets that have great strength, and other instruments that prove to be brutal, pave the way for new techniques. Another interesting thing in God of War III is that you can also manipulate the menacing creatures of Greek mythology against their will, to help you cross openings, inflict a blind rage amongst your enemies, help you reveal puzzles and secrets, and actually become tools of complete annihilation. God of War III also possesses interesting features that make fans and gamers crave for more.
God of War III opens from where God of War II ended with Kratos taking his quest for vengeance to the very stronghold of Zeus. Kratos journey in God of War III is by far the most far-flung and epic to date. With just a few hours of playing the game, you can already feel the rush; Titans and interesting bosses are on your nerves. The feeling of a grand finale is even fortified with the return of recurring characters that are sure to delight gamers.
The game starts with a bang with previous scenes being replayed as a 'refresher' to the players. The refresher is really knotted well, filled with interesting scenes of sexual deviancy that actually pays up to becoming a good melodrama. Players who are still newbies to the game might as well grab the re-mastered God of War and God of War II after seeing the scenes from the refreshers. It has certainly drawn more fans to this exciting game.
The presentation of God of War III has been polished in most of its aspects. The graphics are superior to its predecessor, with scenes of gorgeous combat and cinematic camera tricks that are totally remarkable. Better audio and sound effects also complement the other aspects of the game splendidly with the presence of a good musical score and interesting effects matching the scenes. The gameplay remains fantastic with the combat leaving gamers breathless and really yearning for more. God of War III is definitely an outstanding finale to the much-loved game that will certainly be remembered for a very long time in the video gaming world.

Simrad 15-Inch Monitor
A striking feature of the new yacht I climbed around while researching this month's column is how each helm station has a 15-inch Simrad monitor set alongside a 15-inch Simrad CR54 plotter/radar. They match perfectly, and the owner thus gets his conventional nav tools neatly supplemented with programs, like PC charting and weather, running on the ship's PC and/or feeds from his entertainment system or video cams. The CF15, typical of this size, sports XVGA (1024x768 pixels) resolution. Inputs include high-performance DVI and S-Video as well as their conventional computer and video counterparts (RGB and NTSC/PAL respectively). The displays are waterproof when flush-mounted, but their brightness, specified as 250 nits, may not be sufficient for open bridges (see "Q&A" for more on nits). In fact, the owner of the yacht I saw plans to eventually upgrade his flying bridge monitor to a sunlight-viewable version that Simrad is reportedly working on. The CF15 costs $4,600, and there are also 17-, 19-, and 23-inch sizes available.

Every year, members of the Dallas-Fort Worth Theater Critics Forum (which this time numbered a record 10 critics participating) gather in an East Dallas house and hash out the best in local theater during the preceding season. It's usually a spirited debate with tears and blood and regretful recriminations, but this year it went very smoothly. Too smoothly, if you ask me. (I suspect Al Qaeda had a hand in it.) One reason might have been that there were a lot of good shows to agree upon, leading to an astonishing number of awards — more than usual. It was also a strong year for actresses.
For the first time in a long while, the winners' list was led by the Dallas Theater Center, which took 11 citations (plus a special award) for seven shows, including all three "Beauty Plays:" Reasons to Be Pretty, Fat Pig and The Shape of Things.
Coming up behind was Fort Worth's Circle Theatre, which took seven awards across three shows (Bach at Leipzig, which just closed, Opus and Something Intangible), and young Upstart Productions, which won six awards for its two shows of the season (Talk Radio and subUrbia). Gay theater troupe Uptown Players took one, for actress Wendy Welch in Forbidden Broadway's Greatest Hits.
A lot of gay themed shows and out members of the community took honors, including Lyric Stage's world premiere musical The Road to Qatar!, actors Regan Adair and Elias Taylorson, and three of the four touring production winners (Spring Awakening, Xanadu and The Be(a)st of Taylor Mac).
The critics also announced a new award for emerging artist, presented to actor Joey Folsom for his exceptional season.
The complete list of winners appears after the jump.

Proponents believe Proposition 36, the Three Strikes Reform Act, would make California's tough sentencing law for repeat offenders fairer.
Opponents say the law is fine the way it is, crime is at record low rates, and the bad guys are behind bars.
Currently, the state's "three strikes, you're out" law approved by voters in 1994 imposes sentences of 25 years to life in prison on repeat offenders with two serious or violent felonies on their records when they commit a third felony of any kind.
"Some of these felonies are so petty, so minor, they should not serve as a basis for a 25- years-to-life sentence," said Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley, who supports Proposition 36.
If approved, Prop. 36 would change the law so 25-years-to-life sentences are imposed only on criminals who commit serious or violent felonies like murder, rape and robbery. "Two-strike" repeat offenders convicted of nonviolent crimes would instead receive double the ordinary sentence for that crime.
Cooley said the change in the law would do "what is just, what is right" and said crime will not go up.
"It's a very modest limited reform of a very powerful sentencing tool," Cooley said.
San Francisco District Attorney George Gascon, who once served as station commander at the Los Angeles Police Department's Harbor Division in San Pedro, said the measure is about doing what's fair.
"We have a situation where we have people committing relatively minor offenses as third strikes -- a simple shoplifting or a possession of drugs for personal use -- and they can be sent to prison for 25 to life," he said.
Neither Cooley nor San Francisco District Attorney George Gascon currently chooses to prosecute all third felonies as 25-years-to- life cases in their jurisdictions. But most of the state's district attorneys do. The California District Attorneys Association opposes the measure, as do several police officer associations.
Nevada County Sheriff Keith Royal, president of the California State Sheriffs' Association, said there is no reason to weaken a law that works.
"It is keeping our community safe," Royal said. "These folks did not get to be three-strikers without committing serious crimes that really impact our communities."
Proponents say the measure could save $70 million to $100 million in court and prison costs, and open cells for the most deserving criminals at a time when the state is under orders to reduce the crowded prison population. The money, Gascon said, could be used for parks and schools.
Royal disagreed that Prop. 36 will save money. People freed early or not sentenced to 25 years to life will return to court and require jail terms, he said.
"We are talking very serious offenders," Royal said. "The bottom line is that these folks, any of them, will commit additional crimes when they hit the streets."
If the law is enacted, about 3,500 inmates currently serving life sentences for a nonserious, nonviolent crime could apply to be re-sentenced. Proponents say no rapists, murderers or child molesters will benefit if Prop. 36 were approved.
Prop. 36's other supporters include Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.
Others supporters include the city councils of Long Beach, Carson and Inglewood, and the unlikely teaming of conservative activist Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, and billionaire liberal businessman George Soros, who has donated $500,000 to the cause.
Prop. 36's opponents include the Los Angeles Police Protective League, several other municipal police officer associations and a number of victim rights groups.
Proposition 36YES means: Some criminal offenders with two prior serious or violent felony convictions who commit certain nonserious, nonviolent felonies would be sentenced to shorter terms in state prison. In addition, some offenders with two prior serious or violent felony convictions who are currently serving life sentences for many nonserious, non-violent felony convictions could be resentenced to shorter prison terms.
NO means: Offenders with two prior serious or violent felony convictions who commit any new felony could continue to receive life sentences. In addition, offenders with two prior serious or violent felony convictions who are currently serving life sentences for nonserious, non-violent felonies would continue to serve the remainder of their life sentences.

Fister slips up as Giants end Nationals' win streak
Righty allows pair of homers; bullpen unable to keep game close
WASHINGTON -- The Nationals' 10-game winning streak came to an abrupt end as they lost to the Giants, 10-3, at Nationals Park on Friday night.
"It's one of those days," manager Matt Williams said. "It was kind of a clunker all around. We'll see if we can get them tomorrow."
Doug Fister has been Washington's most reliable starter, but not on this night. The right-hander was hurt by the long ball as he pitched six innings, allowing four runs on seven hits. The game was also put in perspective as Fister announced that he had skin cancer removed from his neck a couple of days ago. He said he was OK and that the surgery had nothing to do with his so-so performance on the mound.
Fister was cruising and working fast until the fourth inning. With Washington leading, 1-0, Fister was able to get two quick outs, but then Pablo Sandoval and Michael Morse reached base on consecutive singles. Joe Panik followed with a three-run homer over the center-field wall to give San Francisco a 3-1 lead. It was Panik's first career home run.
"I wasn't sharp. I left too many balls over the plate," Fister said. ["I threw] my best pitch. I threw it over the middle of the plate. He hit it well. That's his job. I didn't do mine."
Giants right-hander Tim Hudson, who has been a nemesis dating back to when the Nationals were the Montreal Expos, managed to pick up his 18th career victory against the organization. He lasted 5 1/3 innings and allowed two runs -- one earned -- and struck out three batters. It wasn't easy for Hudson, however.
In the bottom of the fourth, Jayson Werth made it a one-run game by hitting a solo home run over the left-field wall.
But San Francisco put the game out of reach starting in the sixth inning off Fister. With one out, Buster Posey swung at a 2-2 pitch and homered over the left-field wall to make it a 4-2 game.
"The whole day, I'm battling myself. It's a constant challenge for me to constantly keep the ball down and on the corners. It's something I have to do. If not, I have to pay for it," Fister said.
Still, the way the Nationals were coming back during their 10-game winning streak, they still thought there was a chance to win the game. But San Francisco scored two more runs in the eighth inning off left-hander Jerry Blevins, with Gregor Blanco and Panik coming home on a double by Travis Ishikawa.
"We knew we had to play our best ball to beat this club, especially against a team that's had so much mojo," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.
The Giants then padded their lead with four more in the ninth off Ross Detwiler before the Nats got one back on a Wilson Ramos RBI double.
"When [the score was] 10-2, I said, 'OK, it's time to turn the page and try and start another streak, I guess," center fielder Denard Span said.
With the loss, the Nationals now find themselves six games ahead of the Braves in the National League East. Atlanta defeated the Reds, 3-1, in 12 innings at Great American Ball Park.
"We haven't had that feeling in a while, fortunately," Nationals first baseman Adam LaRoche said. "Tough loss? No question. It 's the way we got beat. Other than that, looking back, it was an awesome stretch. That's what guys were talking about after the game. We start up a new one. It was frustrating. We are still in great position here for this time of the year. We have work to do. We kind of let one get away from us today. That's baseball."
