They may be cheap, but they are a waste of money and time as they are so unreliable! They really are rubbish, and I have had problems with them skipping, losing data and with read errors etc.

Re: CreditKarm
a is killing me!
Ok, I understand now. Never heard of an insurer using a score related to credit Karma. Most of the ones I have worked with either use a FICO directly or have their own propreitary score that will ignore things that tend to not be good predictors of future claims like medical collections. Actually this thread was the first I have ever heard of there being one separate score for insurance that is widely used.
I can think of no logical reason an insurance score would be lower than a regular score or decrease while a regular score increases. As you and others have stated it seems like their insurance score may be total bull pucky.

Posted January 10, 2013 on AP on Fox
The Toronto Raptors have been dealing with a number of injuries, but they've been able to compensate with solid defense. That may not bode well for the low-scoring Charlotte Bobcats. Toronto goes for its 10th victory in 13 games Friday night when it faces a Bobcats team looking for a third straight road win. Injuries to Andrea Bargnani, Linas Kleiza, Aaron Gray and Jonas Valanciunas have left the Raptors (13-22) extremely short-handed down low. It's also uncertain if rookie guard Terrence Ross will be able to play in this game after missing a 90-72 victory over Philadelphia on Wednesday. "We know we have some people down - we just have to pick up the slack," said forward Amir Johnson, who has started the last two games at center in place of Gray. " ... This is not the time to take a break now. We gotta pick it up and dig ourselves out of the hole we dug." Having a healthy Landry Fields could help. Making his first start since Nov. 7 - and playing for the sixth time since coming ...

In the Shadow of an Adulteress; He Was One of Britain's Greatest Statesmen Who Served Six Prime Ministers. but Lord Hailsham, Who Died This Month, Never Recovered from Finding His Wife in Bed with Another Man. Was It This Secret Torment That Cost Him the Glory He Craved?
Levy, Geoffrey, Daily Mail (London)
Byline: GEOFFREY LEVY
THE SOLDIER'S homecoming was meant to be a glorious surprise. He had been wounded in North Africa, and then contracted hepatitis from bad water. His war was over.
Now, with tiny gifts tucked lovingly into his suitcase, his head swam with anticipation as he pushed open the front door of his small house in London's Victoria. From upstairs came the startled voice of his wife, Natalie: 'Who's there?' Captain Quintin Hogg called out in reply and mounted the stairs to find her in the embrace of a young French officer, who murmured his excuses and left as quickly as he could.
Precisely what greeted Hogg's eyes we shall never know, for he wrote in his diary: 'The kind of welcome I got when I came in had better not be described here.' The following day, Natalie left him, taking the marital bed with her.
For Hogg (later Lord Hailsham), who died this month aged 94, it was the lowest point of a life which was to soar to greatness as Chairman of the Conservative Party and a distinguished Lord Chancellor under two Prime Ministers.
But the death of this apparently jovial man also left an intriguing question: just how much did the shock of that homecoming affect the rest of his life - and could it conceivably have cost him the leadership of the party two decades later, and thus the office of Prime Minister for which he so yearned?
To political colleagues and friends such as former Foreign Secretary Lord Carrington, Lord Hailsham was a colourful character who never talked about his first wife's adultery after their divorce in 1943, and who seemed to have quickly overcome the despair which wracked him at the time.
'He certainly never mentioned it,' says Carrington, 'and he had a happy subsequent marriage.' Hogg had, indeed, made a wonderful second marriage in 1944 with Mary Martin, the daughter of a Ceylon tea planter.
He had met her when she was staying with her uncle, physics professor Sir John Townsend, in the Oxford City constituency where he had been MP since 1938.
They had three daughters and two sons - one of whom, Douglas, was a recent Tory Minister of Agriculture.
And yet there is evidence to suggest that Hailsham, despite his mischievousness and apparent joviality, and his happy family life with Mary, never really escaped the shadow of the unfaithful Natalie.
And as we shall see, more than four decades later it was to her that he turned in an hour of need.
'I believe she may well have undermined his confidence to the point where it affected his judgment and increased his impulsiveness,' says Geoffrey Lewis, his official biographer.
'He was always impulsive, of course, but this made him worse, more flamboyant and even showy.'
FLAMBOYANCE and showiness were not qualities which the Tories wanted in 1963, when their Prime Minister, Harold Macmillan, stood down and the party hierarchy was forced to pick a new leader.
Quintin Hogg had by then inherited his father's hereditary peerage - but, exploiting a change in the law, he renounced it so he could throw his hat into the ring.
But his chances were diminished by a television interview in which he exploded in anger when asked about the effects on the party of the Profumo scandal - War Minister John Profumo had lied to the Commons in denying an affair with call girl Christine Keeler, whose other men friends included a Russian diplomat.
'A great party,' raged Hogg, 'is not to be brought down because of a scandal by a woman of easy virtue and a proved liar.' This somewhat biblical response hardened the view of his critics that he was too volatile for the leadership.
And some also wondered, when he spat out the phrase 'woman of easy virtue', to what extent his anger was motivated by the painful memory of his own wartime homecoming.
It was a speculation to which he never provided an answer. …

Clean energy investment in Nevada has accelerated rapidly in the past five years thanks to Nevada's widespread leadership and support for the clean energy economic sector, reaching at least $5.5 billion just since 2010, according to a new report available at cleanenergyprojectnv.org.
You are here

Our staff strives to support the media covering solar energy issues and guide our members on effective media outreach with clear statements, background materials, news and multimedia resources.
SEIA is committed to informing policymakers, the media, and the American public about the benefits of solar energy for today's communities, our economy, and our country.
Learn more from our statements and industry news below.
Solar Power Captures Investors' Attention
Despite all the excitement surrounding solar energy over the last couple of decades, the technology has yet to go mainstream. However, that is slowly starting to change. Perhaps the biggest reason for the slow spread of solar energy has been the high cost associated with converting a household to take advantage of solar energy.
Taking the Spotlight: Solar Energy
Distributed generation in the form of wind, landfill gas, and cogeneration got a mention, but solar by far is attracting the most attention from cooperatives and legislators, a panel of experts told the co-op crowd. The panelists also informed co-ops that distributed generation is coming. They were told that it is best to get in front of it and that co-ops should develop their own DG projects.
Solar Energy Has Finally Arrived
Solar energy in 2013 removed its training wheels and started competing with traditional energy sources. In the fourth quarter alone, the average weighted price per watt of solar capacity installed dropped by 15%, averaging $2.59 compared to more than $6 in 2010.
Inside SolarCity: The Rise of a Hot Solar Panel Provider
CBS News
In 2013 there was a 47 percent jump in the number of home solar installations in the U.S., and by the end of the year more than 400,000 American homes had solar power. Don Dahler meets one man who uses imagination to help power the change.
U.S. Solar Grew 76% in 2012 Led by Utility-Scale Projects
U.S. solar panel installations grew 76 percent in 2012 to 3.3 gigawatts, representing a tenth of the global market, led by large-scale projects in the desert southwest, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association.
Solar Trade Group Reports Surge in U.S. Installations
Partly driven by an oversupply of cheaper panels from China, the domestic solar market had its best year in 2012, with the growth in installations outpacing that of the global market, according to an annual report to be released Thursday.
Solar plant surpasses 1 million panels
The millionth solar panel has been installed at a sprawling desert power plant that will feed energy to San Diego-area utility customers as soon as late spring, the project developer said Tuesday.
Some area schools seeing savings from solar panels
A few area schools are taking advantage of the Texas sun and seeing significant savings from the use of solar panels.
Sen. Reid: Nevada has much to gain from clean energy development despite the skeptic
Supporters of dirty fossil fuels would have you believe that developing renewable energy in Nevada doesn't create jobs, is bad for the environment, and will cause your utility bill to skyrocket. This could not be further from the truth and their real objective is to shift the attention away from clean energy to maintain the status quo.

The present invention relates to an imaging lens system for an imaging-based bar code reader and, more particularly, to dual imaging lens system for an imaging-based bar code reader providing for differing fields of view and focal lengths.
Various electro-optical systems have been developed for reading optical indicia, such as bar codes. A bar code is a coded, pattern of graphical indicia comprised of a series of bars and spaces of varying widths, the bars and spaces having differing light reflecting characteristics. Some of the more popular bar code symbologies include: Uniform Product Code (UPC), typically used in retail stores sales; Code 39, primarily used in inventory tracking; and Postnet, which is used for encoding zip codes for U.S. mail. Systems that read and decode bar codes employing charged coupled device (CCD) or complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) based imaging systems are typically referred to hereinafter as imaging systems, imaging-based bar code readers or bar code readers.
Bar code readers electro-optically transform the graphic indicia of the bar code into electrical signals, which are decoded into alphanumerical characters that are intended to be descriptive of the article containing the bar code. The characters are then typically represented in digital form and utilized as an input to a data processing system for various end-user applications such as point-of-sale processing, inventory control and the like.
Imaging systems used in bar code readers include charge coupled device (CCD) arrays, complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) arrays, or other imaging pixel arrays having a plurality of photosensitive elements (photosensors) or pixels, herein generally referred to as a sensor array.
An imaging lens assembly or system receives light from a field of view (FOV) of the imaging system and focuses the light, onto the sensor array. An illumination system comprising light emitting diodes (LEDs) or other light source directs illumination toward a target object, e.g., a target bar code. If a target bar code is within the field of view (FOV), the imaging lens assembly focuses an image of the target bar code onto the sensor array.
Periodically, the pixels of the sensor array are sequentially read out generating an analog signal representative of a captured image frame. The analog signal is amplified by a gain factor and the amplified analog signal is digitized by an analog-to-digital converter. Decoding circuitry of the imaging system processes the digitized signals representative of the captured image frame and attempts to decode the imaged barcode.
There are typically two types of imaging lens assemblies: 1) fixed focus systems; and 2) variable or zoom focus systems. In a fixed focus system, the field of view (FOV) and the working range of the imaging system is fixed. The working range of an imaging system is a distance range in front of or forward of the imaging lens assembly within which an object of interest, such as a target bar code, may be successfully imaged and decoded by the imaging system decoding circuitry. The working range is a function of, among other things, a focal distance of the imaging lens assembly.
The working range and field of view (FOV) require a user to move the bar code reader relative to the target bar code such that the target bar code is within the field of view (FOV) and within the working range of the imaging system for successful decoding of the imaged target bar code. For example, if the target bar code is positioned at a distance that is greater than the working range, the size of the imaged target bar code will be too small to successfully decode. That is, the pixels per module (PPM) will be too small to permit successful decoding. PPM is a measure of how many active pixels of a sensor array the smallest feature (bar or stripe) of a target bar code is imaged onto.
To permit variation in the field of view (FOV) and/or the working range of the imaging system, variable focus/zoom lens systems have been employed in imaging system of bar code readers. An imaging system that includes a zoom and variable focusing feature can greatly expand the working zone, that is, the field of view (FOV) and the working range, of the imaging system. In general, performance of an imaging-based bar code reader is limited by the PPM at a far focusing distance of the reader. For a given sized sensor array, the higher the density of a bar code, the lower the PPM and as PPM decreases the capability of the imaging system to obtain an image that permits complete decoding of the bar code also decreases. Variable focus/zoom lens systems can improve the PPM of the imaging system by providing a variable focal length system.
Known variable focus/zoom lens systems depend on either; 1) mechanical movement of one or more lenses of the lens assembly; or 2) the use of a liquid lens. A liquid lens is lens formed, by two immiscible liquids of differing conductivity sandwiched between two windows. As an electrical field applied to the liquids is varied, the shape of the interface between the liquids changes and thereby changes the optical properties of the liquid lens. However, both approaches to variable lens systems are complex and involve reliability and controllability issues.
What is needed is an imaging lens system that allows for changing a field of view (FV) and focal distance without the complexity and reliability issues inherent in variable focusing/zoom lens systems.
In one aspect, the present invention features an imaging system for an imaging-based bar code reader for capturing an image of a target bar code. In one exemplary embodiment, the imaging system includes: a sensor array including an array of photosensitive elements for converting light impinging on the array of photosensitive elements into electrical signals based on light intensity; an imaging lens system for focusing light from a field of view onto the sensor array, the imaging lens system including a first lens assembly and a second lens assembly, the first lens assembly defining a first field of view and the second lens assembly defining a second field of view, the first and second fields of view being different; and a control for selectively choosing between the first and second fields of view for imaging the target bar code.
In another aspect, the present invention features a bar code reader for imaging and decoding a target bar code. In one exemplary embodiment, the reader includes: a reader housing including a housing interior; an illumination assembly supported by the housing for emitting light to illuminate the target bar code; an imaging system within said housing interior for capturing an image of the target bar code; and decoding circuitry for decoding an image of the target bar code.
In one exemplary embodiment, the imaging system includes: a sensor array including an array of photosensitive elements for converting light impinging on the array of photosensitive elements into electrical signals based on light intensity; an imaging lens system for focusing light from the field of view onto the sensor array, the imaging lens system including a first lens assembly and a second lens assembly, the first lens assembly defining a first field of view and the second lens assembly defining a second field of view, the first and second fields of view being different; and a control for selectively choosing between the first and second fields of view for imaging the target bar code.
These and other objects, advantages, and features of the exemplary embodiments are described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
An exemplary embodiment of an imaging-based bar code reader of the present invention is shown schematically at 10 in the
The decoding system 14 is adapted to decode encoded indicia within a selected captured image frame. The housing 16 supports reader circuitry 11 within an interior region 17 of the housing 16. The reader circuitry 11 includes a microprocessor 11 a and a power supply 11 b. The power supply 11 b is electrically coupled to and provides power to the circuitry 11. The housing 16 also supports the imaging and decoding systems 12, 14 within the housing's interior region 17. The depicted reader 10 includes a docking station 30 adapted to receive the housing 16. The docking station 30 and the housing 16 support an electrical interface to allow electric coupling between circuitry resident in the housing 16 and circuitry resident in the docking station 30.
The imaging and decoding systems 12, 14 operate under the control of the microprocessor 11 a. The imaging and decoding systems 12, 14 may be separate assemblies which are electrically coupled or may be integrated into a single imaging and decoding system. When removed from the docking station 30 of the reader 10, power is supplied to the imaging and decoding systems 12, 14 by the power supply 11 b. The circuitry of the imaging and decoding systems 12, 14 may be embodied in hardware, software, firmware or electrical circuitry or any combination thereof. Moreover, portions of the circuitry 11 may be resident in the housing 16 or the docking station 30. It should also be recognized that the reader 10 may be connected to an external power supply by an electrical cord (not shown) as opposed to having an internal power supply 11 b.
Advantageously, the bar code reader 10 of the present invention is adapted to be used in two modes of operation. In a hand-held or point-and-shoot mode of operation (
In the hand-held mode, imaging and decoding of the target bar code 34 is instituted by the user depressing a trigger switch 16 e which extends through an opening near the upper part 16 c of the gripping portion 16 a. When the trigger 16 e is depressed, the imaging system 12 generates a series of image frames (54 a-54 f for example) until either the user releases the trigger 16 e, the image 34′ of one frame (54 d for example) the target bar code 34 has been successfully decoded or a predetermined period of time elapses, whereupon the imaging system 12 awaits a new trigger signal.
In a fixed position or hands-free mode (
The docking station 30 is plugged into an AC power source and provides regulated DC power to the circuitry 11 of the reader 10. Thus, when the reader 10 is in the docking station 30 power is available to keep the imaging system 12 on continuously. In the fixed position mode, the imaging system 12 produces a continuous, sequential series of image frames 54 of the field of view.
The bar code reader 10 includes an illumination system 36 to illuminate the target bar code 34. In one embodiment, the illumination system 36 typically includes one or more illumination LEDs which are energized to direct light in an illumination pattern generally corresponding to the imaging system field of view FOV.
An aiming system (not shown) may optionally be used to generate a visible aiming pattern comprising a single dot of illumination, a plurality of dots and/or lines of illumination or overlapping groups of dots/lines of illumination. If used, the aiming system may he intermittently energized in a flash mode such that at least some of the captured image frames 54 a-54 f do not include an image of the aiming pattern. The image of the aiming pattern in an image frame may distort the imaged bar code and complicate the decoding of the imaged bar code.
The imaging system 12 comprises an imaging camera assembly 20 and associated imaging circuitry 22. The imaging camera 20 includes a housing 24 supporting an imaging lens system 26 and a 2D sensor or pixel array 28. The sensor array 28 is enabled during an exposure period to capture an image of the field of view FOV of the imaging system 12.
The camera housing 24 is positioned within an interior region 17 of the scanning head 16 b. The housing 24 is in proximity to a transparent window 50 defining a portion of a front wall 16 h of the housing scanning head 16 b. Reflected light from the target bar code 34 passes through the transparent window 50, is received by the imaging lens system 26 and focused onto the imaging system sensor array 28.
In an exemplary embodiment, the illumination assembly 36 is positioned behind the window 50. Illumination from the illumination LED 38 and an aiming pattern (if used) also pass through the window 50.
The imaging system 12 includes the sensor array 28 of the imaging camera assembly 20. The sensor array 28 comprises a charged coupled device (CCD), a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS), or other imaging pixel array, operating under the control of the imaging circuitry 22. In one exemplary embodiment, the sensor array 28 comprises a two dimensional (2D) mega pixel CMOS array with a typical size of the pixel array being on the order of 1280×1024 pixels. Each pixel is comprised of a photosensitive element or photosensor that receives light and stores a charge proportional to the intensity of the light received and then is periodically discharged to generate an electrical signal whose magnitude is representative of the charge on the photosensitive element during an exposure period.
In the hand-held mode of operation, (possibly aided by the aiming system), the user points the housing 16 at the target bar code 34 and, assuming the target bar code 34 is within the field of view FOV of the imaging assembly 12, each image frame 54 a, 54 b, 54 c, . . . of the series of image frames 54 includes an image 34′ of the target bar code 34 (shown schematically in
The image frame selected for decoding by the decoding system 14 is typically an image frame captured when the aiming system 38 is turned off, otherwise, the aiming pattern 40 projected onto the target bar code 34 may distort the resulting imaged bar code 34′. In the fixed position mode of operation, the imaging system 12 is continuously generating a series of image frames 54. Since most of these captured frames 54 will not include an imaged bar code, the decoding system must analyze the series of image frames to find a subset of the series of image frames 54 (say 54 a-54 d in
Electrical signals are generated by reading out some or all of the pixels of the pixel array 28 after an exposure period generating an analog signal 56 (
The analog image signal 56 represents a sequence of photosensor voltage values, the magnitude of each value representing an intensity of the reflected light received by a photosensor/pixel during an exposure period. The analog signal 46 is amplified by a gain factor, generating an amplified analog signal 58. The imaging circuitry 22 further includes an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter 60. The amplified analog signal 58 is digitized by the A/D converter 60 generating a digitized signal 62. The digitized signal 62 comprises a sequence of digital gray scale values 63 typically ranging from 0-255 (for an eight bit A/D converter, i.e., 28=256), where a 0 gray scale value would represent an absence of any reflected light received by a pixel during an exposure or integration period (characterized as low pixel brightness) and a 255 gray scale value would represent a very intense level of reflected light received by a pixel during an exposure period (characterized as high pixel brightness).
The digitized gray scale values 63 of the digitized signal 62 are stored in a memory 64. The digital values 63 corresponding to a read out of the pixel array 28 constitute the image frame 54, which is representative of the image projected by the imaging lens system 26 onto the pixel array 28 during an exposure period. If the field of view FV of the focusing lens 26 includes the target bar code 34, then a digital gray scale value image 14′ of the target bar code 14 would be present in the image frame 54.
The decoding circuitry 14 then operates on the digitized gray scale values 63 of the image frame 54 and attempts to decode any decodable image within the image frame, e.g., the imaged target bar code 14′. If the decoding is successful, decoded data 66, representative of the data/information coded in the bar code 34 is then output via a data output port 67 and/or displayed to a user of the reader 10 via a display 68. Upon achieving a good "read" of the bar code 34, that is, the bar code 34 was successfully imaged and decoded, a speaker 70 and/or an indicator LED 72 is activated by the bar code reader circuitry 13 to indicate to the user that the target bar code 14 has successfully read, that is, the target bar code 14 has been successfully imaged and the imaged bar code 14′ has been successfully decoded.
The field of view FOV of the imaging assembly 12 is a function of a number of parameters including the size and configuration of the sensor array 28 and the optical characteristics of the imaging lens system 26. The imaging lens system advantageously provided for two different fields of views FV1, FV1 which comprise the imaging assembly field of view FOV and two different working ranges WR1, WR2 resulting from differing focal lengths FL1, FL2. In this way, the reader 10 has an enhanced ability and flexibility to reader target bar codes 34 at various distances from the imaging lens system 26 as well as target bar codes having differing densities and height/width dimensions. Further, this enhanced barcode imaging provided by the imaging lens system 26 does not require the increased cost and complexity associated with variable focus/zoom lens systems. A simpler, fixed lens system is utilized.
The imaging lens system 26 of the present invention utilizes a dual lens system, that is, the imaging lens system 26 comprises two imaging lens assemblies 26 a, 26 b, each of the lens assemblies 26 a, 28 b having its own different respective fields of view FV1, FV2 and its own different respective focal length FL1, FL2. The fields of view FV1, FV2 of the lens assemblies 26 a, 26 b are different, but do overlap. As the working ranges WR1, WR2 are determined in part by respective focal lengths FL1, FL2, the differing focal lengths FL1, PL2 result in different working ranges WR1, WR2. The working ranges WR1, WR2, while different do-overlap such that the overall working range WR of the reader 10 is continuous from the near working range NWR to the far working range FWR. As can be appreciated from the schematic representation of
The present invention contemplates at least two embodiments of the imaging lens system 26 and those of skill in the art will recognize that other embodiments are possible and within the scope of the present invention. A first exemplary embodiment of the imaging lens system 26 is shown in
The imaging lens system 26 (in contrast to the
A control 128 actuates the drive 126 to move the pivoting mirror 122 between a first position (shown in solid line in
The first imaging lens assembly 26 a focuses an image (schematically shown as IM1 in
Since the optical path from the lens assemblies 26 a, 26 b to the array 28 is fixed, this means that the best in focus target plane is fixed for each lens assembly 26 a, 26 b as is the respective fields of view FV1, FV2. It is appreciated that although the best in focus target plane is fixed, the depth of field or wording range for a given lens assembly allows images to be captured from target bar codes not precisely coincident with the most in-focus target plane.
In an alternate or second embodiment shown schematically in
This embodiment eliminates the need for the two fold mirrors set forth in the first embodiment. As was the case in the first embodiment, the lens 112′ of the second lens assembly 26 b′ has a short focal distance FL2′ and therefore a large or wide field of view FV2′ compared to the long focal distance FL1′ and narrow field of view FV1′ of the first lens assembly 26 a′.
It may be desirable to have the images IM1′, IM2′ constantly and simultaneously generated during a bar code reading session. In this way, the control 128′ (as described in the first embodiment) in conjunction with the remaining imaging circuitry 22 and the decoding system 14 can determine which image IM1′, IM2′ should be selected for processing and decoding. In other circumstances, it maybe desirable to provide an optical switch 130′ operating under the control of the control 128′ to block out light from being received by one or the other of the imaging lens assemblies 26 a′, 26 b′ thereby eliminating a selected one of the images IM1′, IM2′. The optical switch 130′ may be implemented as a pair of mechanical stops in front of the lens assemblies 26 a′, 26 b′ which can be selectively moved into or out of the respective fields of view FV1′, FV2′ by the control 128′. Alternately, the optical switch 130′ can be implemented as a liquid crystal cell with selective light transmission under the control of the control 128′. This liquid crystal embodiment maybe integrated into the transparent housing window 50. Yet another alternative for the optical switch 130′ is a controlled polarizer element that is switched on and off by the control 128′.
Finally, it should be noted that while the imaging lens system of the present invention has been discussed with respect to a 2D sensor array, the concept of a dual focusing system is equally applicable to a one dimensional (1D) or linear sensor array which would be used to imaging 1D bar codes.
While a preferred embodiment of the invention has been described with a degree of particularity, it is the intent that the invention includes all modifications and alterations from the disclosed design falling within the spirit or scope of the appended claims.

Space Battleship Yamato 2199

Re: Space Battleship Yamato 2199
Broadly, eh. Not sure I can do that.
Out on the Edge of Gamilus Space, Dommel's Six Fleet are dealing with the lastest invasion of the barbarians. Once finished he is recalled to the homeworld to receive one of the highest awards from Dessler himself, who the Fleet Admiral says has something special in mind. Dommel comes home because it is an order, but does not wish to leave the front lines as this front is the most important in the Empire.
Back on Yamato they have to deal with their Gamilas guest left over from Episode 10. They find that aside form her blue skin she is pretty much human. Kodai wants to let her go because she seems honorable and did help them. Shiima is still upset by the idea that the Gamilas said the humans shot first.
A survivor from First Contact tells Shiima the truth. And it is decided to let the pilot go in a system that has a small Gamilas base in it. But before that Yamamoto decides she needs to vent her anger in a dogfight with the Gammy.
Shiima and Kodai get into a fight over the Gamilas during a meeting about their first warp outside the galaxy. The Captain puts them on cleaning duty starting with the barrel of the Wave Motion Gun.
Back on Gamilus, Dessler is talking on the hotline to someone and believes he knows were Yamato is going. Following this we have the parade and award ceremony for Dommel. Dessler asks him to take over the Milky Way Theater to deal with Yamato. Dommel accepts because it is basically an order from the Emperor. We find out some bits of modivations for the various Generals and Admirals of the Empire as well as some problems within the Empire. Dommel requests a special ship to be used against Yamato that requires the Emperors' clearances to use. Dommel then goes to see his wife at a graveyard (one assumes this is the anniversary of their child's death).
Back on Yamato, Kodai and Shiima have talks with various people while they clean the ship to overcome their problems. Everything seems back to normal until a torpedo hit the ship from out of nowwhere.
Dommel's Fleet arrives at Balun to relieve Goer of command. he is kept on as Dommel's second. At the arrival Dommel is informed that Frakken has found his prey.
Meanwhile in a protostar cluster, Yamato is hiding while torpedoes comes from nowhere attempt to flush them out. It seems Frakken has a Dimentional Submarine that can hide in a Dimentional Fault...the kind of place Yamato was trapped in Episode 10. Sanada thinks he found something when Okita collapes. He is taken for immediate surgery, leaving Sanada in command.
After some more cat and mouse, Kodai and Niimi get into an arguement over how to look for the enemy submarine. Niimi's choice is more logical and followed.
Kodai is sent to check on the Captain, but then decides to just do his plan anyway with the help of the Boatswain. The plan results in some damage to Yamato, but they escape.
Celestra arrives on Balun in her own battleship to make use of some ruins against Yamato. Frakken's submarine is purposed to spead a chain on probes to help with Celestra's plan.
On Yamato, now outside the Milky Way, Yuki and Kodai are out on patrol to make sure Frakken hasn't followed them. Yuria is standing around the autopilot's room again, when Yamato's transmission are cut to the patrol ship. Yuki turns them around to see what happened to Yamato.
They find Yamato spinning adrift. They manage to board her and find no one. The ship restarts shortly after they arrive on the bridge on some sort of automatic heading. Looking like it will try to warp someplace.
They decide to try and stop the ship, but start having weird waking dreams from their past. However things get really weird after that as Yuria arrives to rescue Yuki from the dreams. (Dreams that disturb the attacker.)
Yuki can't stop the ship with the auto-navigation system, so she goes to take the Wave Motion Core out to stop the ship. When the mental attacks focuses again on Yuki, Kodai is able to snap out of his dreams. They, with Yuria, manage to save the ship and its crew.
Back on Balun, Celestria is saddened by the loss of one of her own and leaves on her battleship.
Some things are left mysterious about this one.

|Reviews for Nobody Dies: Rei Ayanami Does the Multiverse
| zer0light chapter 2 . 2/10/2013
one of my fav fics, too bad it hasn't been updated in a long while. it has a lot of potential.
| Ryuus2 chapter 2 . 6/23/2012
*blink*blink* I don't remember Rei mentioning she picked up an invisible giant bug steed. But, Kali did kind of steal the spotlight among her 'souvenirs'. I wonder what -or who- else she'll be picking up on this voyage?
I can't wait to see this reach the Doctor's universe. It Will Be Epic!
Keep up the great work!
| Pulsor93 chapter 2 . 5/10/2012
I got into your stories thanks to Circular (I was the guy in the original Circular SpaceBattles thread to suggest moving it to ), and have been consumed by Nobody Dies as well.
So, on that note, are you ever going to continue this, because this story has so much potential.
...And I would love to see Rei kick the snot out of StupidBoy Whine (Superboy Prime).
Also, you a fan of the KH series?
| D.K.N chapter 2 . 9/11/2011
...Why has it been 16 months since this was updated?
| linkhyrule5 chapter 2 . 6/30/2011
So, will you be continuing this in parallel to ND-proper?
| chaosglory626 chapter 2 . 4/19/2011
It is nice to get some background on how Tali ended up with Rei. If you have time it would be nice to hear the rest.
| chaosglory626 chapter 1 . 4/19/2011
It really isn't hard to imagine why Rei would attract the attention of an ancient god of chaos. So awesome!
| Rubel chapter 2 . 1/21/2011
So I just caught up with Nobody Dies and I started wondering what happened to End of Eva Asuka and Shinji. Glad to know it will be answered here. Plus I wonder how many of Rei's souveniers don't work in her universe due to different physical laws. Probably all the really broken ones. Anyways thanks for the great reading
| Kithrin chapter 2 . 12/13/2010
Can't wait to see more.
| Forgotenkey chapter 2 . 11/8/2010
like whats here so fare, love Rie hope to see more in the future :)
| Rose1948 chapter 2 . 10/21/2010
Gigglefest! ::tapes up ribs some more::
| BlackOps04 chapter 2 . 8/11/2010
I'm thoroughly enjoying your Nobody Dies side stories so I'm looking forward to more. Visualizing Harbinger getting pancaked by thousands of tons of Giant Robot made my day! And Mordin's reactions to Rei's crew was also a riot.
And since all the cool kids are doing it here is my suggestion for Rei's collection. The Sword of Light from the Slayers universe. As it runs on both the user's will and magic (read: psyker) potential, reverse engineering it and scaling it to Eva's would jump their melee weapons from progressive/chain weapons straight to AT field-powered energy blades.
| ploychan chapter 2 . 6/23/2010
Sandalphon Junior proved that an angel could split off pieces to make miniature clones of itself.
If Go-kun split off a mini-clone and that mini-clone got sealed inside Naruto Uzumaki along with the Kyuubi, then Naruto would have a psychic link to both Rei and Go-Kun. Even if Naruto was left behind to grow up in Konoha, the psychic link would let him follow after Rei once he's old enough to generate a Sea of Dirac on his own. Plus, Naruto would be able to morph his right arm into a drill 'just like daddy.'
N: "My daddy is a tsukumogami* the size of a mountain, and my mommy is an albino angel/human hybrid."
*In japanese myth, a Tsukumogami is an inanimate object that has been brought to life. The name means 'artifact spirit.'
| michael68 chapter 2 . 6/22/2010
might be leaving 'bread crumbs' so that the Shadows can track Rei's movement throughout the multiverse.
Does Go-Kun have a hammerspace storage unit? An internal Dirac could expand the cockpit like a TARDIS from "Doctor Who," bigger on the inside than on the outside, giving them room for sleeping quarters, a bathtub, medical bay, etc. There could even be a garage for smaller vehicles like Ecto-1 from "Ghostbusters" or a Catbus from "My Neighbor Totoro."
| 1Batman4u chapter 2 . 6/22/2010
Possible souvenirs for Rei as she wanders the multiverse:
Hogyoku ("Bleach") a.k.a. Orb of Distortion.
Either "The Guide" or Bable Fish ("Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy")
TM16 Payday ("Pokemon"). Teaching this move to Go-kun gives Rei money after it wins a battle, which is useful to earn some quick cash to purchase food, clothing, and souvenirs.
Tomato/MPU ("Cowboy Bebop") Edward and Ein could join Rei's wandering.
Eye of Odin ("Gargoyles")
Red Stone ("Fullmetal Alchemist")

Shopping can be such a struggle! Good thing we have coffee to brighten up our day (and our cranky hubby's day).
Awww . . . "good coffee is like friendship: rich and warm and strong." Bad coffee is like your ex-boyfriend: bitter, lackluster, and dissatisfying.
This ad uses coffee to sell dresses to women, although I don't quite get it. Is she trying to date her boss? Is she hoping for a raise so she can have espresso instead of mediocre office coffee?
It's everything a young married woman could dream of: a coffeemaker. After all, what else is there to dream of after finding a husband?
Maybe if I can get my man to like my coffee he'll finally pay more attention to me than the newspaper (at least until the invention of iPhones)!
What a cheater! Can you believe she uses a coffeemaker for social gatherings instead of making it from scratch?
For the times you want to stay up all night with your lover sober and jittery, drink coffee!
Let's all toast our coffee cups to the pearl necklace your husband awkwardly gave you at this dinner party!
Ah, the luxury of sleeping in on a Sunday — some things haven't changed.

Historical Traveler Reviews Fiesta Americana Condesa Cancun All Inclusive
Wonderful Experience
The people at Fiesta Americana Condesa made my first experience to Cancun a wonderful memroy to cherish. The staff was all very eager to help in any way they could, and the hotel was very neat and clean. Thanks Fiesta Americana Condesa!
Loved it
I have stayed in several hotels/resorts in cancun, and condesa rivals the best all inclusives. The entrance to the hotel and its lobby are breathtaking. The lounge there is so confortable and relaxing, yet beautiful. The beach was awesome. Perfect. I love sitting under the palapas and having waitresses/waiters bring drinks. Pool was spectacular! Food was average. But don't let that keep you from coming to this hotel. Our room's view was breathtaking. The service was great and the staff a pleasure. I usually opt for the more isolated resorts south of cancun, but for staying in cancun, this resort is top notch.
Absolutely Beautiful & Perfect!
This vacation was perfect! First of all we got a great deal on an all-inclusive package for 6 days/5 nights. We arrived to the hotel and it was drop dead gorgeous! Baggage handelers took our bags immediately as we stepped off the bus. Then we rode up an escaltor into a huge open air lobby. Check in was simple. We walked to our room, which was a normal suite. It waas onthe top floor, on the front of the hotel. We had a balcony which could hold at least 50 people. The balcony had a panoramic view of cancun. Ocean at ever angle. It was truely breathtaking.
We eat at the htoel for almost every meal, mainly because the food was amazing. The buffet is the way to go! Every meal time was fantastic. Each dinner buffet has a different theme. You have a choice of eating at the outdoor bungalow, indoor dinner hall and even an upscale italien resurant. The service was terrifc. I swear that they clean your room 3-4 times per day. The wait staff and bartenders we extremely friendly. They remember your name and what you like to drink!
Please check this resort out, you won't regret it!
A bad start for a honeymoon
Well we arrived in Cancun for our honeymoon during Huricanne Isadora. We will just say this was not the best time to arrive. Soon after arriving to the lobby, which was wonderful, we would soon realize teh honeymoon would have it's mishaps. First- the staff indicated that our hotel room was not all inclusive- I must admit that this may not be their faults but what happens next is what ruined our stay for one night. We proceeded to check in and was sent to one room- but we didn't have the key to this room. So after going back to the lobby, while getting rained on, they proceded to change our room. While waiting in the lobby area we heard some glass breaking and screams- some window panes had broke and shattered throughout the hotel. Finally we get to our room which we had to go through the servants area (under ground) to get to because this area was blocked off. WE get to our room and find a nice view but unable to open the sliding doors due to the storm. We preceed to call home and to make changes and find out this hotel will not work with us and wants $1200 for the all inclusive meals. This was not going to happen. WE did order room servicewhich cost $50 American dollars for pizza,soda, and something else. The next day we checked out to move to the Grande Caribe Real Resort and Spa but upon checking out they wanted to bill us for two bottles of water in our first room which we never was able to enter nor ever had the key. They was kind enough to take this off our tab. All and all our stay was terrible, however, I have heard from friends that this hotel was first class service. You make your judgement.
Condesa wonderful
Fiesta Americana Condesa was wonderful. When we pulled up in our cab the bell man was wonderful. Rode the escalator up the beatiful lobby. Checked in at the nicest front desk. Pool area is fun and spetacular. Great bar delicious food. I do adivse the all inclusive. The best staff. Great Beach. I am a travel agent and I would and will book all my clients there. We had a relaxing stay and enjoyed the service by the staff. Made friends with staff and will definaltly go back.
Great vacation
We traveled to Cancun in October 2002. Stayed at the Condesa, GREAT VACATION. The hotel was clean and everyone nice. They are updating the hotel and it was still a wonderful time. The beach is wonderful with great sand, better than some in Cancun. The food was good. We didn't care for the upscale restaurant. The bellman is a good man
to know for the inside scoop on Cancun. We would go back in a heart beat. If you get the chance to go....go for it you will have a great time.
I stayed August 4-8 at the Fiesta Americana Condesa in Cancun. Let me just say that when our bus pulled up to the hotel, it took my breath away. The entrance is amazing!! We never saw another hotel that looked even similar to it. The lobby area is beautiful and the rooms are very nice. The pool area is AMAZING!!! I have never seen anything like it. The food was very exotic, so I stuck to the things I was familiar with. This hotel sits on a beautiful beach and the resort is very clean!!! You will constantly see people cleaning even the weirdest things-(elevator buttons??) I do have a few complaints, but you will find something wrong with every hotel. My friend and I decided to get some braids in our hair( 12 braids which is just the top of our hair) We figured that it wouldn't cost much because it wasn't even close to a full head of braids. Well, when I went to pay, the person at the spa had to consult with a coworker and then walked to another room where the woman was that did my hair. (Basically whatever they feel like charging you) He finally told me it was going to be $38.00!!! I couldn't believe it!! When I went back to tell my friend how much it was, I overheard the lady telling a customer that she would charge them $40.00 for a whole head of braids!!!! I asked her about it and she made up some excuse about because it was only a half, they charged me what they did-made absolutely no sense. Also, our room was left open one night by the maid and one night a mop was left in our room. Our shower would turn all the way hot, then all the way cold-doesn't feel too good on a sunburned scalp! Other than these things, the hotel was excellent. The location is great and I felt very safe-much safer than the other side of town. You're right across the street from AquaWorld. I would recommend the jungle tour if you go. They put chocolates on our pillow at night and turned down the blankets for you at night!! I felt like a princess. Not much for nightly entertainment at the hotel-mostly singing. You will be
h for Cancun because of the party atmosphere, but I would definitely return just to get another chance to stay at this luxurious hotel. You will definitely be glad you chose the Fiesta Americana Condesa.
Great resort. Great time.
My wife and I recently spent six days and seven nights at the Fiesta Americana Condesa Cancun resort. We opted for the "all inclusive" package that included three meals a day at any of their restaurants (or room service) and all "well" drinks. This option worked out well for us. We didn't want to hassle going out much. This was the first trip to Cancun for either of us. The food was very good. There was even a "Mexican festival theme night" that was set up outside by the pool with local Mexican dishes, entertainment and Mexican crafts available for purchase. Great fun. The best part of this resort is the pool/beach area. You just don't want to go anywhere else it's so nice. We also enjoyed the lobby area and main bar. It was very open and tropical. The service was consistently friendly and prompt. We did get outside the hotel for a couple of day trips. For this the hotel concierge service was terrific. We both found the local people to be friendly, approachable and full of the rhythm of Mexico. The live music we heard was nothing short of wonderful. I understand there are many great resorts in Cancun. They all "look" fantastic from the outside. It was a bit of a "crap shoot" for us trying to pick one. The "Condesa" (as everyone refers to it) seemed to be a local favorite. Lucky for us. It's not what you might think of as a "bargain deal", but we felt the money was well spent. We really enjoyed ourselves and would recommend it to anyone. We will go back.
Great Choice
This hotel is one of the best looking hotels in Cancun. It is located in the more quieter part of the hotel zone, perfect for families or couples. The pool is outstanding, with three levels to swim in. Our room was great (all marble floors). The spa was great, offering massages and a hair salon. The service was excellent and the employees at the hotel were wonderful.
The only drawback in choosing this hotel are the the employees working at the "concierge" desk who will try to get you to go to a timeshare sales presentation at another hotel they own. Other than that experience, I found my stay at this hotel very enjoyable.
I stayed at this property 3 years in a row. Each and every time it was wonderful! The pool bar was great. The pool waiters were fabulous,especially Isidro. I highly recommend this wonderful hotel!

Feasts and Ruins on the Maya Trail

Thankfully we arrived to Houston safely, however we did have to build ourselves up for the flight on to Cancun.

I personally like the 650B 160 HD, though for most milder conditions (mellower AM) the 140 mode is more pleasant. I never found it too tall in cornering or techy spots, and the BB height seems fine for me? If you want to feel tall and tipsy, jump on a tall 29er. My modified (100 converted to 120mm) Moots Moto XZ has a saddle to ground height 1.5 inches and BB 1 inches taller than my 650B 160 HD.

Before my interview today with Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, he glared at me when I told him what Yahoo's CEO Carol Bartz had to say about a potential partnership: I can't react to an offer or a deal when there's no offer or deal to react to, she said. Sometimes silence speaks volumes.
When Carol Bartz took over as CEO a few months ago, I like everyone else was intrigued about how she would turn this struggling company around. I got my chance with Bartz in her first TV interview since taking the Yahoo job, and what I got was a decidedly aggressive, straight-talkin', honest, sharp executive, firmly in charge, with a vision and the methods to make it happen. In short, I got exactly what Yahoo hasn't been, but has so desperately needed.
