Apollonius of Perga
Install this theme
We can see, now, how the purely virtual, non-actual, universe of cyberspace can "touch the Real": the Real we are talking about is not the "raw" pre-symbolic real of "nature in itself," but the spectral hard core of "psychic reality" itself. When Lacan equates the Real with what Freud calls "psychic reality," this "psychic reality" is not simply the inner psychic life of dreams, wishes, etc., as opposed to the perceived external reality, but the hard core of the primordial "passionate attachments," which are real in the precise sense of resisting the movement of symbolization and/or dialectical mediation:
"/…/ the expression 'psychical reality' itself is not simply synonymous with 'internal world,' 'psychological domain,' etc. If taken in the most basic sense that it has for Freud, this expression denotes a nucleus within that domain which is heterogeneous and resistant and which is alone in being truly 'real' as compared with the majority of psychical phenomena."
The "real" upon which cyberspace encroaches is thus the disavowed fantasmatic "passionate attachment," the traumatic scene which not only never took place in "real life," but was never even consciously fantasized — and is not the digital universe of cyberspace the ideal medium in which to construct such pure semblances which, although they are nothing "in themselves," pure presuppositions, provide the coordinates of our entire experience? It may appear that the impossible Real is to be opposed to the virtual domain of symbolic fictions: is the Real not the traumatic kernel of the Same against whose threat we seek refuge in the multitude of virtual symbolic universes? However, our ultimate lesson is that the Real is simultaneously the exact opposite of such a non-virtual hard core: a purely virtual entity, an entity which has no positive ontological consistency — its contours can only be discerned as the absent cause of the distortions/displacements of the symbolic space.

"When I first caught sight of Mt. Shasta, over the braided folds of the Sacramento Valley, I was fifty miles away and afoot, alone and weary. Yet all my blood turned to wine, and I have not been weary since."
- John Muir, 1874
Mount Shasta is one of the great stand alone mountains in the world and is widely considered to be one of the Earths sacred mountains. It is one of the most worshiped mountains in the world starting back with the Native Americans as early as 600 BC and today is home to over 100 spiritual secs.
Shasta has many meanings to many different people over 1,000′s of years. Portals, vortexes, a cosmic power point, a UFO landing spot, the entry point into the 5th dimension, a source of magic crystals, home of the great spirit, center of creation, to name a few. One of my favorites is about the Lemurians. The Lemurians are said to be super-humans who are so spiritually advanced that they can change themselves from material to spiritual at will.
As good as all these stories are they had nothing to do with me going to Shasta. It was the stories of world class corn snow and descents over 7,000 vertical feet that hooked me. So finally after too many years of claiming "this is the year for Shasta" I made it happen. On June 10th I met up with 14 other sideways snow sliders from California and the North West for a harmonic convergence of corn slashing. The experience was so enlightening that a week later I doubled down with a group of four in search for the 5th dimension.
The first time up we hiked the South West Face starting at the Bunny Flats trail head. It is the main route up the mountain and the bootpack is a stairway to heaven allowing for the easiest 7,000 ft hike you will ever do.
Mount Shasta is 14,179ft tall and rises 10,000 ft above the valley floor and is the only high mountain around for 100′s of miles (other then Mt Lassen 10,462). This makes for some of the fastest moving and wild cloud formations I have ever witnessed in the mountains. This is a view of our line of the south face.
Shasta is a mirage. What seems like 20 minutes away could be two hours away.
Brian Sizer somewhere on the upper half of the mountain. He has a cabin in Oregon that looks right at this face and built the Shasta skate park.
Jeff Curley is a professional snowboard photographer. He shoots 90% freestyle snowboarding and when he is not working can be found on his splitboard.
Darron Rahlves around 13,000 ft. hiking through boot top deep snow on July 19th. He called me a few days before this trip asking if I wanted to go to Shasta. He had just flown by the peak on his way home from a week of corn skiing in AK and was feeling the Shasta pull.
The center of creation. Also know as the summit of Mount Shasta. Check the photos from the first trip of Ralph, Kael and I standing on the same spot a week earlier. It is amazing how quickly the mountain went from burnt out and dry rocks to a mid winter ice cap.
Coming over the summit rollover. The top few hundred feet had a weird rime ice texture to it. It was smooth to ride and easy to sink an edge into it.
Once over the roll we were greated with 4,000ft of the best corn snow I have ever ridden.

In this hip story by Marc Camoletti, swinging bachelor Bernard couldn't be happier: a flat in Paris and three gorgeous stewardesses all engaged to him without knowing about each other. But Bernard's perfect life gets bumpy when his friend Robert comes to stay and a new and speedier Boeing jet throws off all of his careful planning. Soon all three stewardesses are in town simultaneously, timid Robert is forgetting which lies to tell to whom, and catastrophe looms. A riotous farce that recently enjoyed hit revivals in London and New York, Boeing–Boeing is now set to arrive in Jet City—fasten your seat belts!

Small Spring Projects
SPring at the new place
Seeds Arrive 2012!
Building a Solar Furnace for our Greenhouse
Our update:
We got flooded out from Hurricane Irene in NY and have ended up in Prairie Home, Missouri. We are renting a place on 144 acres in this very small town. We have big plans, new friends and a large number of things working for this season. Look for many more chickens, and some Guineas throughout the spring and many more episodes in the works as we learn to live a more natural life on a lot less money!
Our plan:
As human beings, the most important basic necessity is food. The best thing we can leave for our grandchildren is the knowledge and ability to provide that for themselves and their families. The move to locally grown produce has increased and I predict will continue to increase as gas prices make transporting food much more expensive. Let us not forget that our system of industrial farming can't possibly keep up forever. Eventually no matter what we do, one day all people will realize that WE CAN'T EAT MONEY.
So this is going to be our journey to providing not only for our family, but for the future generations of our family. I don't know anything about how to do any of this. I have an awful lot to learn, but it's not impossible. We want to be able to grow, raise and provide enough food for our family. And that family is Nanny, our 92-year-old great grandmother, Grammy and Grandpa, Mommy, Sede (Daddy) and Sprout. The idea is while we're all playing in the dirt, our daughter will also learn how to grow food and raise animals to sustain her family, and will be able to teach her children to do the same.
We always made mud pies when we were kids. My mom would let us play in the "Diggin' Hole" in the yard. It was literally a place in the yard where it was just mud. We were allowed to take the hose out there in the summer and we'd just cover ourselves. I also like the idea of Mud Pies because essentially we're creating food out of dirt. It's the way nature intended.
I'm no expert by any means. I'm a graphic designer. But I feel it's important for us to learn this skill for the good of our family. Where do I even start? I guess it's right here. I picked a name, started the idea rolling and it's time to sit back and see where this takes us! It's going to be a wild ride!!
Check out our first video!

1. You ll get sized up when you walk into the dealership.
The recent credit crunch didn t just limit consumers from signing up for credit cards and getting a mortgage it also limited car-leasing options. The lack of liquidity for car leases peaked in April 2009 when Chrysler filed for bankruptcy protection and then its lending arm Chrysler Financial stopped doing business. But now leasing is picking up again. Eleven percent of mainstream (non-luxury) cars sold in December were leased, up from a low of 8% in May 2009, according to the Automotive Lease Guide.
The first mistake most consumers make when it comes to leasing isn t with the car leasing company but with the dealership. When consumers enter a dealership they re quick to answer a salesman when he asks if they re planning to buy or lease a car. Instead, consumers should focus on negotiating the price of the car they re interested in first, says Ashly Knapp, head analyst at AutoAdvisor.com, a Seattle-based car research service. As soon as you give away that you re leasing, prices will freeze up on the car, he says. You should negotiate your car price as if you re going to pay for it with cash out of your own pocket and then you bring that over to the lease.
And, don t tell the salesman how much you re willing to spend each month on a lease payment since that will create a floor for negotiating, which yis difficult to go under.
2. Never mind all our talk about monthly payments.
A common pitch for leasing is that you ll end up with fairly low monthly payments. Try to tune it out no matter what the salesperson might tell you, some of the most important things to think about when investigating a lease are a vehicle s price, it s likely value at the lease s end, and the additional fees you ll incur when you sign up.
Every lease starts with a sale. The dealer sells the car to a finance company, also known as a leasing company. In return for your monthly payments, the leasing company lets you use the car for a fixed time, and when that time is up, you return the car. Your monthly payments cover the sale price plus finance charges and taxes.
And there are additional fees, like an acquisition or bank fee. This is one of the fees that may shock a few people, says Matt Traylen, chief economist at the Automotive Lease Guide. He says it s a one-time payment of around $500 that a person leasing is required to pay when they sign the lease. Typically, you ll also have to make two months worth of payments: One applies as the first month payment and the other as a security deposit. And when a consumer returns their car at the end of the lease period, they could be charged a disposition fee of around $250 to $450 if they decide not to buy the car. This is a fee that can be negotiated, says Traylen.
3. You probably don t know what we re talking about.
Auto leasing is tricky, and it s made even more confusing with terms like residual value, money factor, capitalized cost, and capitalized cost reduction. The less you understand the terminology, the more susceptible you are to accepting a bad deal. So to help you figure out what you re agreeing to, here s a glossary of the most important terms you ll need to know to negotiate effectively.
The money factor is used to figure out the interest rate on a car s lease. Multiply that number by 2,400 to get the interest rate. So, with a .003 money factor, the interest rate is 7.2%. The residual value is the estimated value of the vehicle at the end of the lease term. Typically, you can purchase the vehicle at its residual value when the lease is up. (The industry s bible for residual values is the Automotive Lease Guide s Residual Percentage Guide; the figures can be on the low end and finance companies use this as a guide for setting prices.) Capitalized cost is the total amount that you re financing, including the negotiated price of the car, all its options, fees and taxes; it should be under the manufacturer s suggested retail price (MSRP).
Finally, capitalized cost reduction is the amount of money you give to the dealer upfront, like a down payment, which is usually negotiable. Consumers should focus on getting a contract with the smallest money down and the lowest interest rate. As a consumer, why do you want to put anything down? says Traylen. You re essentially paying up some of the risk; the finance company would love for you to put the money down [so] if something goes wrong with the deal and they have to, say, repo the car they [still] have the money.
4. Leasing a lemon will leave a sour taste in your mouth.
In every state there are lemon laws designed to protect consumers from the worst-case scenario a car that s fundamentally unfixable. But what happens when you lease an automobile that turns out to be just that? While you ll be covered in most states, you may not have this protection in others, including Alabama, New Mexico, Nevada, Alaska, South Dakota and Colorado, says Carol Roberts, the executive director of the International Association of Lemon Law Administrators. In these states, lemon laws are not expressly extended to lessees, and protection may depend on the specifics of given lease agreements and warranties.
Before you sign any leasing contract, find out if your state s lemon laws apply to leased vehicles by contacting your state attorney general s office, bureau of consumer affairs or department of transportation. Also, read your warranty thoroughly, and see if the manufacturer s warranty covers you and not just the leasing company.
5. A wipeout could really total your finances.
It s bad enough having your car stolen or wrecked. But if you re driving a leased car, the pain can be more excruciating because lessors will usually treat it as a form of early termination. Your leasing company will demand the payoff on the lease even if you ve had the car for a few months, says Scott Simmonds, an insurance consultant in Saco, Maine, who s a fan of leasing. While your insurance company should pay the leasing company the car s market value, the amount insurance will cover could be lower than what you owe on the lease financing.
The solution is gap insurance (also referred to as lease gap or loan gap), which covers the difference if your leased car is totaled or stolen so you don t have to. It ll also pay if you re upside down on your loan, meaning the value of the car is less than the amount you owe, says Simmonds who doesn t sell insurance. Most finance companies provide their own gap insurance in the contract, either by including it as part of the monthly payment or by charging a modest premium. If you re working with a small independent leasing company, make sure to ask about it.
It s silly not to have gap insurance in a world of carjacks and accidents, says James Bragg, CEO of Fighting Chance, a national information service for new vehicle shoppers. It s a pretty expensive mistake to make. It s especially important for an expensive car; otherwise the gap is usually around $2,000, says Simmonds, and that s when consumers should ask if paying $300 a year for the life of the lease is worth it.
6. Keep your car close to home or else.
Think you can drive wherever you want? A provision in many leasing contracts restricts the places you can drive. Some forbid you from going out of state or out of the country, and most specify that you can only do so for a limited period of time and to specified places, says Randall McCathren, president of BLC Associates, a Nashville-based consulting firm to the car leasing industry.
In standard industry lease agreements is a restriction saying that the lessee cannot take the car outside the state where first titled or registered for more than 30 days without the lessor s written consent or outside the U.S., except for less than 30 days in Canada. A Ford Credit spokesperson says: This language not only protects the interests of the lessor as the owner of the lease vehicle, but it also reduces the risk of loss or penalty to the person leasing the vehicle. And she says it helps ensure that the driver has the appropriate insurance coverage, registration and titling requirements if they move the car.
If you violate these conditions, you may be considered in default, which sometimes means you ll owe the difference between the balance on the lease and the amount the company can get for the car at auction. However, for national leasing companies the purpose of the provision is to get notice of the garaging location of the vehicle since that s where they ll have to remit sales and property taxes, says McCathren.
There may be even more restrictions if your leasing company is a local independent because they re unlikely to be registered in other states, especially those far from them, he says.
7. You call it an odometer; we call it a cash register.
Before you lease a car, know how many miles you drive a year. With a lease, you can typically choose from 10,000, 12,000 or 15,000 miles per year. With a common lease period being 36 months, that means you have to stay under 30,000, 36,000 or 45,000 miles, respectively, says Knapp. The lower that limit, the lower the depreciation of the lease and hence the lower the monthly payment.
But if you surpass the mileage limit, you ll have to pay extra at least 25 cents per additional mile, says Knapp. This is an issue consumers should negotiate before they sign the lease. Also, if you know approximately how many miles you ll put on the car per year, say this before the contract is written up. While you ll end up with larger monthly lease payments, it ll be comparatively cheaper than paying for hundreds of additional miles at the end.
8. Your car s not in good shape unless we say so.
Leasing contracts require you to return your car in good shape. But your definition of good shape may not match your leasing company s. A month before you re ready to turn in the car, ask the leasing company to inspect it for wear and tear. If there are any dings, dents or chips get them fixed ahead of time rather than have the dealer charge you for them later.
It s usually cheaper to get the repairs done on your own watch; if the car has a few minor dents, take it to a dent pulling service where you ll pay a couple hundred dollars to get them fixed; otherwise, the dealer could charge you for full body shop work, says Knapp.
Some car companies have a stipulation in the lease contract that they can charge you for repairs up to six weeks after the date you drop off the car, he says. Take pictures of all sides of the car and the windows before you leave. Knapp says he has clients who were billed for a broken windshield weeks after they returned their car, and they had photos from that day to prove that the windshield was fine. And, find out if your leasing company has built a damage allowance within your contract; few do it, but it can range from $1,200 to $1,500, he says.
9. The best time to lease a car isn t so obvious.
You may think the most expensive time to lease a new car is at the beginning of the model year when vehicles have just hit the showroom. But that could actually be when you ll get the best deal. Here s why: A number of manufacturers hike their prices three or four times annually, according to vehicle pricing experts at Kelley Blue Book.
For example, according to KBB, the 2010 BMW 528i sedan s launch MSRP was $45,800 and now it s $45,950; the 2010 Chevy Tahoe LS two-wheel drive had a launch invoice of $34,484 and now it s $34,670; and the 2010 Ford Flex SE four-wheel drive had a launch MSRP of $28,550 and is now up $400 to $28,950. The higher the price, the more expensive your lease will likely be.
10. Our purchase option could be a rip-off.
One way to avoid shelling out money for exceeding your mileage limit or for dents on the car would be if you decide to buy the car at the end of the lease. At this point, you ll be expected to pay the difference between the car s current value and the total lease payment obligation.
Still, this process can be ripe with pitfalls. In all my years of studying leasing, every time I see the purchase option at the end of the lease it s a bad deal because I can go out there and buy the same car often with less miles for less money, says Knapp. He says that one of his clients was interested in buying his Infiniti Q45 at the end of the lease period, but they ended up finding the same car model with 10,000 fewer miles for at least $3,000 less than what he was being offered to buy his car.

---------- Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.
---------- Love is not an emotion, it's a decision.

Hi Emilio,
all you have to do, is to open the knots on the sleeving on the end of the dyneema line.
So you can move the sleewing on the line and set it to eqaul length.#
For doing this it is neccessary to remove the wrist straps or grip.
So it's just a thing like "open knots - adjust the length - close the knots."
Best Regards

The problem is that several people that are in leadership at that school act very inappropriately towards the students. Some say one thing to the student and then something totally different to the parents. I have noticed one staff member in particular standing in a provocative manner close to a female student, smiling, flirting etc... and when I walked up, his whole demeanor changes as if he has something to hide. I have talked to several students at the school and my feelings are justified. Tell me this, why is this the only school in the MCCSC system where police are called on a weekly basis? Why are they not called to BHSS? I am telling you that their are serious issues at BHSN and I for one believe that it starts with the leadership. Neg me all you want to...but I am telling the truth.

Rarely are police called there. Trust me...drugs, alcohol are just as bad or worse on that campus as they are at North. Drugs and alcohol are everywhere in the schools. Parents need to wake up and see that their kids are exposed to this daily and it takes courage to say "no"! Parents need to get their heads out of the sand and realize there needs to be drug prevention taught by parents and schools starting at an early age (elementary school wouldn't be too early)!Very accessible, even at the middle school level. Yes, I do know what I am talking about. I have worked in the schools for 15+ years and have seen its use become increasingly widespread over time. |

Experiences at Inntiquity, A Country Inn
George has finally completed the bridge over one of our ponds. The problem was finding a bridge design that would hold large groups. He finally bought a steel semi bed. It looks great now that he has added a floor and a white railing. The other project was to replace the dining room floor at the house(not the inn). We lost several rooms due to a roofing fiasco.

BERLIN - A then-18-year-old Pennsylvania high school graduate in Ocean City for the annual Senior Week ritual who struck and killed a pedestrian, another recent high school graduate, in June 2005 was back in the resort area this week to preach the dangers of drinking and driving to the senior class at Stephen Decatur High School, which is preparing for its prom this weekend.
Benjamin Walter, now 20, was highly intoxicated when he ran over Justin Sheftel on Coastal Highway on June 15, 2005, launching the victim 143 feet from where he was struck. Sheftel, who was also intoxicated and froze in the lane of traffic after going back to grab his hat, was killed in the tragic accident.
Last year, Walter pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide, DWI related, and was sentenced to over five years in jail, all of which but 12 months was suspended. As part of the plea arrangement, Walter is also required to spend 40 hours a year for three years making speeches at high schools and Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) events about the dangers of drinking and driving and how the tragedy has forever changed his life.
He has completed about 19 of the speeches, mostly around the Pennsylvania area where he lives, and this week made a similar presentation at Decatur, not far from where the tragic accident occurred. An emotional Walter told the assembled Seahawk seniors a momentary lapse in judgment forever changed his life and urged the local students to make good decisions as they prepare for their prom this weekend and beyond.
'Are you willing to give up all of your hopes and dreams with one wrong decision?' he said. 'I was that night and now Justin is not with us anymore, and I have to live with that everyday.'
Walter's mother Cindy also spoke at the assembly on Tuesday and said she hoped the stirring presentation sunk in for the students. 'If this saves just one life, it will be worth it,' she said. 'Out of tragedy, sometimes good things happen.'

A package from the Wyoming Inn in Jackson Hole offers guests the chance to experience Yellowstone National Park by snowmobile with a special package, and Rocky Mountain Snowmobile Tours provides tips for a more comfortable winter experience.
Jackson, Wyoming (PRWEB) November 30, 2012
The Wyoming Inn of Jackson Hole provides a Yellowstone National Park snowmobile experience for visitors who would like to spend a day touring one of the world's most incredible geothermal features. Created for all levels of snowmobile enthusiasts including beginners – as well as for those who would prefer to tour the park from the comfort of a van with a snow coach tour – the tour is led by expert guides from Rocky Mountain Snowmobile Tours (RMST). Guides pick up guests directly from the Wyoming Inn hotel lobby for a seamless experience, providing them with a hearty breakfast and then transporting them to Yellowstone for 90 miles of touring through the national park's majestically transformed winter landscape where they may see bison, elk, wolves and other wildlife. Before being turned loose with their machines, guests receive one-on-one instruction about snowmobile basics.
"Dressing properly is key to being comfortable on the snowmobile," according to Shirley Lutz, Owner of RMST. Lutz recommends the following six items as tips for guests to bring and wear to ensure the perfect snowmobile tour:
1. Dress in double layers of clothing that insulates and wicks moisture
2. Bring a neck covering or balaclava
3. Wear good ski or snowmobile gloves (hand warmers are also a good idea)
4. Remember sunglasses or goggles
5. Pull on warm socks – and throw a spare, dry pair in your bag
6. Carry a driver's license: a valid driver's license is required for this tour, since travel is on the roads and highways of Yellowstone National Park
While guests need to dress in the appropriate base layers and extras listed above, RMST will outfit guests with winter boots, a snowmobile suit and a helmet with face shield before the trip. The tour consists of a 90-mile roundtrip excursion on groomed trails starting at the south entrance of Yellowstone National Park and traveling to the final destination at Old Faithful. The tour includes a stop for lunch at the Geyser Grill inside the Old Faithful Snow Lodge and plenty of time to take in the scenery.
The Wyoming Inn Yellowstone snowmobile package includes three nights lodging in a King or Double Queen Room with a snowmobile excursion for two people to Old Faithful. Rates start at $949 for double occupancy.
Shorter Snowmobile tours for Granite Hot Springs are also available and include three nights lodging in a King or Double Queen Room and snowmobile excursion for two people to Granite Hot Springs. Rates start at $810 for double occupancy.
Packages do not include fees and taxes. Actual package price depends on dates of stay and are valid from November 26, 2012 to April 8, 2013. Half-day and snow coach tours are available for substitution.
Company Information: The Wyoming Inn of Jackson Hole is known for its spacious, comfortable rooms, luxurious amenities and warm Western hospitality. With a mission to provide outstanding customer service, the Wyoming Inn's friendly staff will gladly arrange a variety of activities suited to guests' interests. Conveniently located on the town's free shuttle line, the hotel provides numerous complimentary offerings including airport transportation, an on-site fitness center and wireless Internet.

FiringSquad Editors Challenge Round 1 Prelim 1
Posted 76 months ago ( edited 76 months ago ) in category
Dear Star Trek: Legacy
Im sorry, but I dont think its working out between us. I want to like you, I really do. The thought of hurting your feelings makes me feel terrible, and I wish I could say that its not you, its me. If you deserve anything though, its to hear the truth, which is to say: it is you.
Im not saying youre completely to blame. My expectations for you were very high. I mean, your previews were so beautiful, so breathtaking in detail, I knew that the months awaiting your arrival would feel like years. In those days I thought only of you: your voice work from every actor to play the captain of a series, your promise of playing a fleet commander, sending specific ships off to face threats as they arrive in real-time. Your expanses of dangerous and exciting nebulae, begging starships to enter and carry out their cat and mouse games, their life and death marco-polo. You promised all this and most importantly of all, you promised an immersive, visually stunning, robust starship combat platform from which I could reenact the best battles from Trek history for hours and hours of replay value.
Maybe I was foolish to believe these promises, but the differences between what I thought you were and what you actually are were apparent from our first moments together. The first thing I noticed was your daunting need for control. Now when I get to know a new game, the first thing I like to do is set up my keyboard or my gamepad, get the controls where I like them, and get comfortable. I may not read the manual, but Im no man to go flying blind into the cosmos without knowing stop from go. This is how I found out you wouldnt let me assign my own controls, which is a feature so basic I was taken aback by your complete lack of it. I searched though your menus repeatedly, thinking Id missed it somewhere, thinking it was me.
This, of course, might have been a forgivable sin if your control scheme were intuitive and easy to use. Sure, its learnable. So is the cockpit of a 747. Still, Id be willing to bet that the 747s controls were designed with efficiency and logic in mind, unlike yours, which gave my left hand cramps as I searched like a nervous cadet mashing every button but the one I needed. Its a miracle I didnt blow the thing up.
As if that werent bad enough, you lack something that youd think any game about flying through space would have: a 3rd dimension. Sure, I could go a little bit up and a little bit down, but I soon found myself confused as my ship, pulling up, seemed to get stuck against an imaginary ceiling. It took me a while to figure out that not only was there a claustrophobic limit to how far up or down youd allow me to go, but that you wouldnt let me pitch my ship more than 90 degrees vertically. No looping back my enemies. No cool maneuvers besides ever turning left or right.
Do you realize how much this limits not only the illusion of space flight but the simple fun as well? Instead of concentrating on out-turning my enemies to line up the weapons and hide my weak side, I also had to keep in mind where I couldnt go and what I couldnt do, or else Id find myself wasting valuable time bringing my ship back around. Were you brought up as a flight sim when you were a kid? Didnt your developers hug you enough?
Im sorry. That wasnt fair. Ive known a couple of flight sims that handled space very well.
Im not trying to be mean. Im telling you this because I think itd do you good to hear it. Some games have it all, yes, but some get by because theyre purely fun to play. Youre not. Other games, while not as instantly fun and easy at the start, are rewarding in other ways. Depth of gameplay, for example, or an intriguing plot. The obvious thing you could have offered was an immersive experience within the rich Trek universe you inherited. Unfortunately, you dont have that either.
As I went through your missions, acquiring points for my performance, I could buy and sell ships, which then joined or left my fleet. Id just finished saving a space station from Romulans and was given the opportunity to change my fleet at your perverted starship bazaar. At the beginning of the next mission, the ship I bought suddenly joined us, no explanation given, as if it had always been there. I know, it was my choice, but it still jarring. It felt less like we were commanding ships in Starfleet and more like we were kids skipping school, picking up and losing members of our little gang as we kicked around the neighborhood looking for things to do. At this point, Legacy, I couldnt take you seriously anymore. I had to laugh. The glories of piloting a Federation Starship had been reduced to an episode of Little Rascals.
And you know what? You dont even look that good. Okay, so Im not running you on the best system in the world, but theres some fundamental flaws to your design that take away from the immersive experience you could have been. For starters, theres your goofy explosions. When a space station or other large object is destroyed, it looks like a large block of cheese breaking apart, and inspires just about as much awe. Yes, your ships are wonderfully detailed, with phasers and photon strikes creating dynamic lighting effects that are impressive. Unfortunately, your strange and difficult camera doesnt allow for much enjoyment of the view, all the while giving the impression that these space battles are playing out between micro machine scale miniatures, not skyscraper sized battleships.
See, deep down, what turned me on about you was the promise of majesty. Why do Trek fans love Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan so much? Its not the action packed script, though that helped. Its not those creepy ear worms, though they helped too. And no, its not Ricardo Montalbans plastic chest. It was the epic space battle between two Federation Ships, and when the camera panned slowly across the bow of the Enterprise, we knew, no, felt she was huge. When a torpedo slipped through the shields and blew through the saucer section, pieces went flying into space. It was a big deal, and the ships limped away, bearing bleeding wounds. It was the first time we witnessed a starship bear the ultimate of indignities: losing a warp nacel, and it was absolutely breathtaking. How did you fail in creating and capturing that same beauty?
First, you let your ships give up their wounds too easily. Early in any engagement the ships hull is nicked up and bleeding like a 14 year-olds face after his first date with a razor. By giving it up to quickly, you cheapen it. Second, your scale in space is inconsistent. Planets look to be the size of grapefruit. Ships bounce off each other with all the weight and grace of rubber duckies in the bath.
Finally, and most annoyingly, your idea of space is simply too busy. Have you been outside after dark recently? When you look up, what do you see? Black, with some white dots? Me too, along with pretty much everyone I know, as well as the dudes from NASA, the telescopes weve put in orbit, and the probes weve flung across our solar system. Real space is dark and empty, with some bright things here and there. Your space is ever colorful, milky and cloudy, as if it were hollowed out from cotton candy. The lovely detail youve put into your ships is lost, along with any chance for them to seem grand, when theyre set against this constricting background. Space never felt so small.
Im sorry. I really am. You dont know how badly I wanted things to work out. In the end though, It wouldnt be right to force it. It wouldnt be fair to me or you. Especially me. Dont get too down about it though. Im sure youll find someone special who will love and cherish you. Try hanging around the bargain bins, and wearing $15 stickers.
Dont worry about me, either. Ive got a date lined up with someone already. Maybe youve heard of her: Star Trek: Tactical Assault. Oh, wait, thats right. Thats your sister, isnt it? Ouch! Sorry again.
Happy Valentines Day,
(We can totally still be friends if you want)

kjv@Matthew:11:25-30 @ @ RandyP comments: Who does the Son reveal His Father to? Those who come to the Son toiling and heavy ladden in the convicting burdens of sin. Once relieved of such burden, having taken on His yoke humbly and with meekness, shouldering a sample of His burden, then one comes to know the Father. Such immense time released revelation is only by exchanging our burden for His Son's and carrying His Son's burden forward. It is not any other way around. The so called wise and prudent systematically avoid to see this.
kjv@Matthew:12:38-45@ @ RandyP comments: We tend today to see the gospel as pertaining to individuals and salvation, which in part it is. Jesus is shown here as also seeing the gospel in terms of groups and cities and generations. Just as a man can be inhabited/possessed/re-inhabited so can collective movements and generations. Individuals think and act and behave within groups. Unclean spirits think and act and behave in similar conjunction. In Jesus' time He saw a perfect storm of the two mounting against Him. Though He could be convincing to some individuals one on one at this time, it would not be until His death and resurrection that the true forces driving individuals within masses could be dealt with.
kjv@Matthew:12:46@ @ RandyP comments: Makes one wonder what they wanted to talk to Him about.
kjv@Matthew:13:19@ @ RandyP comments: This understanding is not a matter left to human intelligence, it is plain and evident to persons of all IQ's/literacy/backgrounds. Satan is not omnipresent so he utilizes man's sheep like pack and conforming nature. He will twist and distort ones intentions and honest curiosity, even God's own words to produce doubt and apparent contradiction to foster rejection and rebellion. It is not understood because the heart has fattened and calloused against it. A mans own peers become the fowls of the air as much as any demon.
kjv@Matthew:13:20-21@ @ RandyP comments: From whom does the most pressure/persecution come from? Those just described as the wayside. Those here now without root expect peace and pleasantry. If the gospel is obvious to them it should be obvious to others they presume, and yet it is not obvious, ridiculed, divisive, persecuted against, even deadly. The young fledgling becomes disheartened, embarrassed, offended. A process - sunlight that is supposed to bring about growth instead kills off the plant. Though passive from ther out typically by number they are used by the wayside (therefore Satan) to increase the pressure on the remaining believers.
kjv@Matthew:13:22@ @ RandyP comments: A believer that overcomes the first two elements must also contend with the cares of this world. It may not matter what others believe or think or behave, the believer is settled and assured in this part of his faith. However, the real issues of life and family and citizen present a constant drain on his time and energies causing anxiety and fatigue and over extension. The productive fruit of his life gets chocked out without him barely realizing it. I speak from experience.
kjv@Matthew:13:23@ @ RandyP comments: For the few strong that remain all of this process works to produce fruit in them 30 60 100 fold; supernatural returns. Fruit like this would not be possible if it were not for the entire process the necessitated it and brought it about. We should not consider it odd that these many things go into producing spiritual fruit. It is producers like these that the Lord wants with Him in His Kingdom. These souls are basically the humble and meek He spoke of in the Beatitudes that His light and Spirit have shown through, His redemption has fashioned, branches abiding in His vine, created unto good works; they are the blessed.
kjv@Matthew:13:23@ @ RandyP comments: The Lord sows a very particular seed expecting later a very particular fruit, a fruit worthy of the kingdom from which it was born, worthy of acceptance into the kingdom to which it is harvested. It is a supernatural fruit that comes forth in supernatural numbers; the fruit itself that bares more of this particular seed. The process it takes to produce from seed to root to a plant to fruit is deliberate and unavoidable as sunshine. Understanding this parable is to understand such spiritual process. Is this the fruit that I am producing?
kjv@Matthew:13:24-30@ @ RandyP comments: This parable is to be placed beside the parable of the sower for direct comparison, one extends the other. The first is a look at the process of the individual believer and what he must overcome. The second is a picture of the field (world) of all. The enemy has come in and planted a false believer with every appearance of the true believer except in final fruit. To remove the false believer at this time would also uproot the true believer, so the two are left to grow together. Both parables work together to draw a broader and deeper picture. The Disciples will shortly ask Jesus to explain this further.
kjv@Matthew:13:24-30@ @ RandyP comments: This is not to say that the Devil has created his own humans and planted them amongst God's. This is better explained by whom the God created human becomes moral agent of/to. The Kingdom of Heaven becomes firmly planted into one and the false kingdom of heaven becomes established in the other. The differences nearly indistinguishable until the fruit from each is bore out.
kjv@Matthew:13:37@ @ RandyP comments: f[NT-GOSPEL@Son of man] speaks largely of His betrayal cruxifiction and return.
kjv@Matthew:14:1-12@ @ RandyP comments: This passage almost reads backwards. At some point earlier the disciples of the Baptist told Jesus and His disciples the outcome of John's imprisonment - beheading. The crew is aware of the circumstances therein. What is happening now that Herod Antipas is associating Jesus with as a haunting of John. We do not know how this becomes known (perhaps one of Herod's servants) but, it does.
kjv@Matthew:16:28@ @ RandyP comments: Could this be referring to John and the visions of the Book of Revelations?
kjv@Matthew:16:21-28@ @ RandyP comments: The comment about the leaven of the Pharisees is just as much a observation of what is currently transpiring against Him as it is a doctrinal fidelity teaching. Jesus sees what is developing and the rage mounting against Him so He checks to see how far along the Disciples hearts are in the revelation process. They are currently far enough to know that He is Christ but, not so far as to know what Christ must suffer for them in the very near future. Until they grasp this further more complete revelation they will not grasp their own future pathway - the baring of their own cross for Him in His absence up until His return.
kjv@Matthew:17:1-13@ @ RandyP comments: We see that the focus of Christ's work with the disciples has sharply turned towards His Cross and is being confirmed from above with the types of signs that the Pharisees had asked for earlier. The disciples believed but, had not asked. The Pharisees did not believe and yet had asked. Which do you think were allowed a sign? Now that they've seen it they are kept from telling anyone of it. Worse than a non-believer not believing and not receiving a demanded sign is a non-believer disbelieving all the more after seeing a believer that has seen the sign by invitation.
kjv@Matthew:18:1@ @ RandyP comments: The subject 'greatest' is often brought up and is often tied to child like qualities. Not child like as in play, but, child like as in service/respect to others. Perhaps one can be playful and imaginative in service, but, certainly not the other way around serving child play/imagination.
kjv@Matthew:18:7@ @ RandyP comments: Recently, we have heard of the influences of a faithless wicked generation being at the root of a failed exorcism and now a world from which offenses/entrapments toward humble child like servants must/do come. The forces and momentums Jesus fights against are considerably larger than just you and I. We must also be aware of their effect and influence as well. They exist even amongst our own ranks!
kjv@Matthew:19:1-12@ @ RandyP comments: What would Jesus know about marriage fidelity? Funny you should ask. Who is Jesus married to (future tense)? The Church Israel/Gentile. Has She been faithful? Is She unblemished? Has there not been cause for a writ of divorcement? Continuously. Why then has He not? What is it in Her that He sees in Her future and is willing to go to His grave for? What God has joined together... let no man put asunder. The principal is true as a church. It is true as a couple. Is Christ righteous in not serving us His papers? Is He merciful in this? Shouldn't we likewise be?
kjv@Matthew:21:12@ @ RandyP comments: There is the physical temple and there is a temple of individual men's hearts. Where a man's heart is there will be his treasure. There are men who treasure making money from the religious needs of many. There are men who treasure peace that do not confront them. There are men who treasure their position in the church that allow for even profit from such allowance. There are men who treasure the way things just the way they are, the way things have long time been. There are those who treasure their own ideals of the temple and not the ill image it projects to those it mistreats. These are the types of men who would be displeased by Jesus' message carried out in the temple for they do not treasure Him. When we look as individuals upon a collective temple such as this we look upon men's collective hearts. The object is not to avoid coming to the collective temple, it is to call upon all men's hearts by a higher calling; to call upon all men to come observe the most holy heart of our Lord and Savior; to meet with Him by His grace then and there.

KPLU Studio Sessions
The Tierney Sutton Band: A true group effort
Singer Tierney Sutton's band were in deep discussion five minutes before their live in-studio performance on KPLU last Wednesday, trying to decide which three songs to play for our audience. It was just one example of how interconnected each member of this quartet really is.
We learned more about each band member's extra-musical skills were divided, how they'd go about sharing their surely impending Grammy Award (they've been nominated for five so far), and Tierney told us about walking the fine line as lyrical story teller and vocal improviser.
The band played three diverse tunes: the bluesy "Wayfaring Stranger," the lesser-known Harold Arlen ditty "The Eagle and Me," and an exciting trip through George and Ira Gershwin's classic "It Ain't Necessarily So." (video above)
