Star Trek: The Frontier
Character Creation
Welcome to Starfleet Academy
Here, you'll learn everything you need to know about jumping into the universe that is Star Trek: the Frontier.
Dice & Dice Pools
In Star Trek: The Frontier, six-sided dice, called D6, are used to measure success (or failure) when a player tries to do something difficult. Walking down the street doesn't require a roll, but dodging from cover to cover while under fire certainly does!
All dice rolls revolve around either an attribute + attribute roll, or an attribute + skill roll. An example would be a typical dodge roll of Reaction (REA) + Intuition (INT). The player adds the number of dice they have for Reaction and then adds in their dice for Intuition, then rolls those dice. Any time a player rolls a 5 or 6, they count that as a success. To learn more about this system, check out the Dice Rolling page for examples, and the House Rules page for cool things you can do to give yourself an edge… at a cost, of course.
Attributes are the key elements that make up your character. Everything from how tough they are to how intelligent. Your attributes define a lot about you as a person, where you stand out and where you don't. Not to worry, while some species are stronger or more resilient, you can best them in other ways. So let's get started.
There are 8 key attributes that define you as a person: Endurance, Agility, Reaction, Logic, Intuition, Charisma, Luck, and Psionics.
Endurance is how tough you are and a measure of your overall physical fitness. The heartier you are, the better able you'll be able to take on tough opponents and weather any situation.
Agility is how nimble you are, and is useful for precisely and accurately getting around, aiming weapons, and getting out of tough spots.
Reaction is how quickly you can react to a situation. A skilled pilot, both on the ground, in the air, or in space needs to be able to react to an ever changing situation.
Logic is how well you can analyze a situation objectively and solve problems. Vulcans excel at this, but there are times they're bested by us Humans too.
Intuition is your gut feeling to a situation. Whether it's painting a picture, hiding your face, or talking to someone, the better you can get a gut feeling for a situation, the better.
Charisma is how persuasive you are, and it's a good skill to have when negotiating, leading, or even just lying straight to someone's face. No one said diplomats had to tell the truth all the time.
Luck is how well life treats you just for being you. Luck is a good attribute to have because it can save your bacon when the chips are down and you've got nothing else to work with.
Psionics is still a developing science within the Federation, but the long and short of it is that some people can sense emotions, move things with their mind, and even things we don't fully understand.
|Dice Pool
|Grade (Proficiency)
When we talk about Grades, it's how proficient you are at a given skill. Generally, the more dice you have in a skill is how high your grade is in that skill. The higher your dice pool, the more proficient you are with certain tools, systems, technology, or trades.
Regardless of species, all skills start at zero, and only through repeated training can they be advanced. Some characters emerge from the Academy with certain qualifications, often with one skill at a professional level. Everything else requires dedicated work to gain valuable experience they can put towards other skills.
Each character has a list of skills that are unique to each person. Some will share skills and interests, but no two are perfectly alike. It's for this reason that we have different departments, to have enough crew of different and diverse backgrounds to tackle most situations.
The skills listed below are grouped by attribute, and are able to be freely taken. However, it's generally frowned to overspecialize in a field beyond your selected department (such as a medic who knows how to repair a warp core but can't stitch up a patient). GM Note: This list is not complete and is only preliminary.
|Diving, Free-Fall, Running, Survival, Swimming
|Archery, Escape Artist, Gunnery, Gymnastics, Heavy Weapons, Herding, Lockpicking, Longarms, Palming, Pistols, Shotguns, Sneaking, Throwing Weapons, Unarmed Combat
|Pilot Aerospace, Pilot Aircraft, Pilot Ground Craft, Pilot Starship, Pilot Watercraft
|Academics, Aeronautics Mechanic, Armoror, Biotechnology, Chemistry, Computers, Cybernetics, Demolitions, Electronic Warfare, First Aid, Forgery, Ground Craft Mechanic, Industrial Mechanic, Hardware, Medicine, Nautical Mechanic, Software, Starship Mechanic, Transporters
|Artistry, Disguise, Languages, Navigation, Perception, Street Knowledge, Tracking
|Animal Handling, Con, Etiquette, Impersonation, Instruction, Leadership, Negotiation, Performance
Assense, Clairvoyance, Psyonic Combat, Telekinesis

Hi, thanks for clicking my post. I'll get right to it:
I'm trying to combine footage from a few different sources, and the biggest trouble has been converting the video files from my Nikon d3100 DLSR camera. The res is 1920x1080, framerate is 23.97, and the files are .MOV and I think they're encoded with H264, though I'm not entirely sure. All I know is that the only way I can get them to play on my PC without lagging at an unwatchable rate is by changing a setting in VLC video player (Preferences > Input / Codecs > Other Codecs > FFmpeg > Skip loop filter for H.264 > All). After that setting is changed, however, the video plays beautifully. (I've found no such setting in Premiere, however)
Anyway, I need to be able to convert these files to match my other footage. Specifically, I need to convert to a resolution of 1280x720, a framerate of 24.0, and a file format of .AVI. As for the other technical specifics, I'm not sure what to choose, but it seems every option I try in Premiere CS4's Export window doesn't work. I can either convert to 720x480, or nothing it all. When I do find a setting that will let me choose the resolution and framerate, the conversion either fails or winds up corrupt.
So far I've only been able to convert to 720x480 successfully.
My goal is to avoid sacrificing any more quality than necessary, but at this point, anything that works would be progress.
Thanks for reading, hopefully someone can help.

Cheap Baby Shower Game Prizes
The trick to finding cheap baby shower game prizes is finding ways to make a small item or group of items attractive. It will take a little more time since you will need to make the effort to find cute baskets, bags, or containers for the items and take the time to package them. But in the long run, it will save you money on the prizes.
Travel or Trial Size
A small basket of travel or trial size goodies makes for simple and cheap baby shower game prizes. Body sprays, lotions, bubble bath, and facial scrubs or masks would all work well. You could also make a small gift basket of trial size nail care items like nail polish remover, nail polish, emery boards, and small nail clippers. You can find small baskets at a local craft store and decorate them with ribbon for an added special touch.
Candy or Snacks
Food is almost always safe baby shower game prizes. A small basket of a few regular sized candy bars is a tasty treat that is sure to be enjoyed. You could also tie a few together with a ribbon. A gift bag or basket of small snack-sized cookies, candies, chips, granola bars, and/or crackers is also a simple idea that will not cost a lot. If you plan to do this idea, it is best to buy packs of the different food items you plan to use so that you can make several game prize packages for cheaper.
Bath Products
Baby shower game prizes like this work best for a baby shower that is women only. If you have fun taking on craft projects, you can even make your own bath salts or fizzy bath bombs for the prizes. You will need some special ingredients to make them but if you plan on using the ingredients again for other gifts, it is worth the investment. You can also just buy bath oils, salts, bath bombs, or bubble baths. You can make multiple gifts out of one large bottle if you get small pretty glass or plastic containers from a craft store.
Candles are another idea for baby shower game prizes that you can get for just a few dollars. A small variety package of scented tea lights or votive candles are a sweet smelling gift. Get popular candle scents like vanilla, light fruity scents, or soft floral scents like lavender or rose. Buying packages of these candles that you can make into smaller packages for prizes will help cut your costs. Here again a cute basket with a ribbon works well to hold the candles.

Small school 8K head display
Small school technology is the leading VR producer in the world. In 2016, a small group launched the world's first 4K VR head significantly, the device was the Asian CES Asia 2016 VR Product Award; January 2017, Pettitte launched the world's first 8K VR products, the product obtained from 5946 users worldwide, public to raise $4 million 230 thousand in the amount of Kickstarter, VR broke the head acquired by Facebook was created by Oculus - the forerunner of nearly $2 million 430 thousand VR raised the world record, but also beyond the famous Japanese eye tracking head FOVE Asian record.
The 8K and 200 degrees of view VR helmet of the small school after the debut of CES not only attracted the attention of the foreign media UploadVR, but also got the attention of another technology professional RoadtoVR. They tried the helmets of the small pies on the CES and tested them.
Media reporters say the helmets of the small schools are somewhat similar to the 210 - degree StarVR helmet, but the way it is worn is the PSVR - like mechanism. Each single eye screen is placed in a slant angle, but it doesn't feel much heavier than the PSVR. It's just a heavy appearance that makes it look worse than it actually is.
The resolution of the helmet is its biggest highlight. The reporters said, no matter how hard to look, the small pixels could not be seen, but the Rift and HTC Vive could be seen. Even a single large pixel block is more difficult to see. The final effect is that the display is clear and transparent compared with the existing helmet.
The company's latest product, 8K, is also open to domestic users for the first time. From the conference site, the financing information of Ou Fei technology was confirmed before the conference. It was announced by Tang Jianhong, the founder of science and Technology Co NST at the end of the campaign.

Meanwhile, small technology will also explore more application scenarios based on existing products. In addition to meeting the hardware needs of VR enthusiasts, it will also try to customize scenes in the fields of film, medical, education, tourism and national defense, and carry out deep cooperation across industries.

My Dear Family,
I'm glad that you got to see the pic of me at Spanish Zone Conference! If you look at pics of other Zone Conferences from that same week, you might see me in 1 or 2 of them. Because Elder Garcia and I got picked to become a couple of the Car Inspectors for the mission. Car inspections happen at Zone Conferences when we have them, so at the first one, Elder Garcia and I got trained to do the Car Inspections, and they needed us at the one for the next day, because there were a lot of cars at that one haha And once we finished the Car Inspections, we joined those Zones for lunch both days, and at least one of them, we got our picture taken with other missionaries.
We picked up 2 new investigators this past week! :D Super awesome! They want to start coming to church and everything! Hoping for baptisms soon! :)
Mission life is going well! There are rough days, but there are good days as well! It's a growing experience all around! Understanding Spanish is still hard, but I'm trying the best I can to listen intently and to understand.
I got the tie for the month of April today! I love it!! It looks so cool! :D I'm actually wearing it right now! I would take a pic and send it, but I actually forgot my camera today :( But I'll show you next week! :)
We played Ultimate Frisbee for District activity today, which was super fun! I always love that game haha
I can't say much more today, but remember that I love you all! Please continue writing and emailing when you can!
With much love,
Elder Patrick Wockenfuss
PS: I found out this past week at one of the Zone Conferences actually, that "Wockenfuss" literally translated means "Cloud Foot" and I also found out later on (from a missionary that I think knows about German stuff) that it basically means something like "Skywalker"... How cool is that?? :D We're Star Wars people!! haha Random, I know, but super cool!
Here's a video of the missionaries at the English speaking Zone Conference singing to missionaries with April, May and June birthdays. Elders Wockenfuss and Garcia went as Car Inspectors and stayed for lunch. Thanks to Donna Shauers for the video!


text: In this TED Talk, Charlie Todd discusses the flash mobs and impromptu stunts put off by Improv Everywhere, an organization he founded, which is dedicated to brightening peoples' days by zany and funny shared experiences. Charlie talks about how shared experiences alter the way we act and perceive things, and about the merit behind doing a flash mob. To his mind (and to mine), as long as you're having fun, it doesn't matter what you're doing! Charlie inspires me to live my life to its fullest, doing something that makes me feel happy.

I am building a solar heating system on my roof for my IGP ~18,000 G. Because the pool is the type with inground jets (sprinkler type) cleaners there is no sweep machine or pump outlet into the pool from the main filter pump. I cannot return the solar heated water to the same line because of the pressure is the same. It won't work. So........I have to run the solar heated water into a "feature" pump output line, (after the pump) this is NOT the filtered line from where the water is diverted to the solar panels.
Here's my questions;
I know I need a one way valve after the diverter valve on the solar panel supply side. I'd like to put a one way valve on the output side of the panels just before the "T" at the "feature" pump's output to pool side. The panel manufacturer says NOT to have 2 one way (check) valves in the system or it will void the warranty.
Any ideas why?
I do not want the "feature" pump to reverse pressurize the panels when it kicks on. I have no other means to return the panel flow to the pool. Dual end pressurizing would be disastrous! What am I missing with the dual one way valves?
Panels are 4x12 Swim Master Plus (5)
Thank you for your help,

Tapes 'n Tapes Again, My Love of Music
Is my writing out of order?
No, you're out of order.
Ridiculous to say, since you, dear reader, have nothing to do with the order in which I write and couldn't really be out of order if you tried. Well I suppose you could if you wanted to comment upon it, but I'd probably not respond because I am entirely wrapped up in myself most of the time. I also realize that this journal is my own little universe and I am at the center of it.
While in Chicago, and just before the crazy randomness that was my departure, I did get a chance to go to at least one rock show, and this was important because I need my concerts. It makes me so happy to join with a happy group of audiophiles and just simply geek out to my favorite bands.
This was a second take on a favorite band, Tapes 'n Tapes. Just like the first time I got to see them live they released a new album. Oh, Tapes 'n Tapes. Theirs is an album of transcendent, swinger, guitar bliss that occasionally included trumpets. The trumpet is an under-appreciated instrument and more people should include them in bands. So when I saw that just before I was flitting out of the country again I'd have a chance for Tapes 'n Tapes, well it was a chance I would have to take.
I went to the city a little late for the show. It was cold and I was wearing a fairly warm hoodie, but the weather for some reason began to put me off. My magic box of knowledge was not helping matters by leading me in all the wrong directions when I was out and looking for a coffee shop to write in before the show. I eventually ended up walking a good mile the wrong way before walking a mile back the other way to find a Starbucks. On the walk I started to feel more than a little dizzy and unsure as to the exact nature of the dizziness. A cup of coffee later and I was feeling more like myself, with writing almost completed. To finish up I took a quick break in a bar and then headed off for a lovely dinner in a fabulous Mexican place where the bartender politely hit on me and bought me a couple of drinks. Always appreciated.
The show started and it was…
Imagine these tall lanky men on stage with their guitars, but the guitars are not just instruments but extensions of their bodies. The keyboard is a tool that expresses in musical notes words that express joy and pain and sorrow and absolution all at once. The words are so real, and so deep, and so pressing, that you are lost under a pressure of appreciation. The voice is loud, and just slightly off, with a subtle growl and nasal twang that rides under the notes and yet this only works to give the artist more character and the lyrics more meaning. They don't play the music, they are the music, the audience is the music, there is nothing but the most transcend appreciation for what they play. They love what they play, and you can tell as you watch them work the instruments and play the songs, and sing, and jump, and dance, that they love it. They love every minute of playing and the audiences joy.
I will admit to putting in some cheap ear plugs, but only because I was standing dead in front of the front of the stage and didn't want to be entirely deaf at the end of the show. After finishing the show they gave me the set list, and that didn't hurt, but that wasn't why I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it because it moved beyond merely enjoyable to a most satisfying musical experience.
The show was more than worth the punishment I later endured for it.

After a skiing accident my wife is on crutches and can't walk far at all and we may be getting a wheelchair.
We'd love to do something this easter, but never having faced the notion of accessibility, we are unsure of where we can go that isn't going to be a real pain.
We live in London, and would love to spend a couple of days out of town.
Can anyone recommend any wheelchair friendly towns or regions that might be good for us to visit for a few days.
We love architecture, history and art as a starting point. And we have access to a car over the Easter break.

Happy birthday kid, where does your dad keep the beer?
Our girls were invited to a friends birthday party yesterday. This particular friend has a grandmother who has a pool, so every year she has a Hawaiian themed pool party. It's a great way to go when you have a pool and a summer birthday. Every year we go to it my wife and I try to come up with new and exciting ideas for our girls birthdays, both of which come in December. Your options are really limited with winter birthdays. I mean, how many bowling or movie parties will the kids tolerate. At least we still have 5 months before we have to come up with something!
This particular kid's birthday parties have become more and more difficult for my wife and I to attend. You see, the parents of this kid and us used to be really good friends, about 5 or so years back. Over the years we had less and less in common and you can say we kind of split up as couple friends. Now, about the only time we socialize with them is, you guessed it, their kids birthday pool party. Last year my wife "conveniently" had to take a long training run, and met us at the party just as it was ending. I thought about telling her that this was her year to take the girls, but thought better of it and we both went. YEAH!!!
So there we sat with them around the table, drinking a beer, watching the kids have a blast in the pool while we searched deep for any kind of small talk. The wife of this couple really has no problem keeping the conversation going, mostly because she loves to talk about herself. My wife and I do an excellent job of nodding our heads, blurting out the occasional "uh-huh" and smiling, lots and lots of smiling. This really must be some form of torture on other countries. "Maybe more beer will help" I keep thinking.
All kids birthday parties follow the same timeline:
1. kids play
2. kids eat
3. kids watch birthday kid open presents
4. kids thank birthday kid and parents
5. parents take kids home
Number 5 on this list could not come soon enough for us, but for some reason steps 2 and 3 took longer than expected and we could not really rush step 4 without looking like total douche bags, right?
We got home after the 2.5 hour ordeal, put our feet up, and were quiet, for a long time. That is until the girls came off their birthday sugar high and wanted to play. Giddy up!!!

haha my bday parties look just like that picture ;0)ReplyDelete
oops i should say my bday parties when i was a kid.ReplyDelete
btw don't you hate when you get older and you realize you don't have a lot in common with lots of people?? i'm basically friendless lol
Nothing like an agonizing kid birthday party whose parents used to be your friends to have you LONGING for home and quiet time.ReplyDelete
I wonder if the wife keeps talking just to fill the silence, or if she just thinks that herself as topic is as interesting to you as it is to her?
Glad you survived and the kids came off their sugar high.

Gday folks
I am not a professional by any means, but I have just done a shoot for a fashion parade raising money for the Leukaemia foundation. I am more than happy for the charity to use the photographs at will and they plan to get some published in the local paper.
However, the company whose clothes were modelled in the parade are interested in getting a copy of my photos. They are a business and I believe that if they want to use my photos for commercial reasons, they should pay for them.
Is it possible for me to allow the charity to use the photos however they want, and still retain copyright if the business want to use the photos?
Thanks for reading my long-winded message... Now, back to the PP

Checking Your Sperm at Home
By Leigh Ann Woodruff, February 21, 2012
SpermCheck Fertility — the first FDA-approved at-home screening test to check sperm count — is now available online through national drugstore chains and will be hitting the store shelves in April. SpermChek is an over-the-counter test to determine whether men have a normal sperm count.
So, if you're having trouble conceiving, should you rush right out and buy the $39.95 test for you or your partner? Not so fast, caution fertility doctors. You need to understand what SpermChek actually tests. Using the at-home test is not the same as having a true semen analysis performed in a laboratory.
"The test is purely a quantitative one that looks at the concentration of sperm and neglects the two other major aspects of a good semen analysis, which are the motility, the movement characteristics, and then the morphology, which is the microscopic appearance of the sperm," says Ed Marut, M.D., a fertility doctor and medical director of Fertility Centers of Illinois.
What SpermChek Actually Tests
SpermChek tests a man's sperm count and only sperm count. In approximately 10 minutes, the test will indicate if the sperm count is within "normal" range (at or above 20 million sperm per milliliter) or low, which would indicate the individual or couple should visit the doctor for a true semen analysis. A man who tests positive for 20 million or more per milliliter of semen sees a reddish line in his test results.
The average human ejaculate contains about 180 million sperm, which is 66 million per milliliter, according to Dr. Marut. He points out that, actually, the 20 million sperm per millileter parameter is actually an old cut-off, and the new one is lower. "It's been updated by the World Health Organization to a 15 million cut-off, so that means that if someone has 17 or 18 million [sperm], they're going to read that it's negative or abnormal, and they're going to unnecessarily — especially if this is early in the course of things — go in and get checked when it may not really be appropriate."
Even more importantly, a positive test result could give a couple a false since of security because it would not necessarily mean a man is fertile. Why? SpermChek does not take into account the other important sperm parameters: sperm motility (sperm movement) and sperm morphology (sperm shape and appearance). "Someone who has a normal count, but a low motility and/or a low morphology, may be quite infertile or sub fertile and would be mislead by this test that they were actually OK."
There's More to Sperm than Just Count
So what are motility and morphology?
First, a man's sperm need to be the right shape — morphology. A healthy sperm has an oval head and a long tail that can propel the sperm forward effectively. Sperm with poor morphology could have a small, large, misshapen, crooked or tapered head, which affect their ability to fertilize an egg. Sperm with tails that are doubled, curled or kinked can also have trouble fertilizing an egg. Fertile men tend to have a normal shape and structure to at least 14 percent of their sperm. A normal shape and structure to only 4 percent is considered the lower limit of fertilizing capacity.
Morphology can affect motility. To successfully conceive a child, a man's sperm must have the ability to propel itself and move forward. Sperm that don't move or are slow are unable to reach the egg for fertilization. To be considered fertile, a man must have at least 40 percent of their sperm exhibiting healthy motility.
Dr. Marut says motility and morphology can be more important than count. "I would personally rather see someone whose count was somewhat low but with good motility and good morphology than the other way around," he says. "Let's say someone has 10 million sperm, but it's 60 percent motile, and morphology is, say 15 to 20 percent, which is normal. That person, No. 1, may be able to get their partner pregnant without doing anything, and No. 2, if they're not [getting pregnant], doing inseminations is going to concentrate that sperm and deliver a higher number of those good sperm closer to where the egg ought to be."
Should You Try It at Home?
The developers of SpermChek say the at-home test was created to meet the needs of couples who are considering and just planning on starting a family, those currently having trouble conceiving and even those men who are just curious about their sperm count. And it may be a step in the right direction for the man who is extremely reluctant about seeing the fertility doctor to have has semen analyzed.
But Dr. Marut says if patients are having trouble conceiving, a true semen analysis would be much more beneficial and give them much more information — and it may be covered by insurance. "It's not a functional test like a woman using an ovulation detection kit," he says. "If a guy has a test that says he's normal, all he knows is that he's making enough sperm to trigger the test. It still doesn't tell him that he's fertile. This is really not a fertility test."

The Surgical Stainless Steel Waterless Cookware fever has not stopped.
After a demo on one particular brand of cookware at our place, I was
receiving a number of comments and feedbacks, not to mention the ample info
found in the net. Here goes:
1. Those who have purchased the SM set (at a very high price!) attest to the excellence of the product.
2. A colleague who did a cooking demo at our place happened to run a demo at another house, the owner of which already owned a SM cookware set. Having seen the capability of the cookware brand currently on demo, she didn't hesitate to try out the recipe of a home-made pizza on the set she already had. The verdict? NOT MUCH DIFFERENCE. She just bought the 'laba board' from TW, which is used for marinating, or as a doughboard when making dough.
3. One person who was trying to be a consultant for SM managed to sell to 2 households, 1 set each. That's 2 sets of very high-priced cookwares. What's more, the items were paid COD! That's a whooping thousand dollars at one go! But guess what? The poor lady didn't get even a single dime of commission. Why? Because she did not purchase her own set of the SM cookwares. And to think, they were saying that you didn't need to buy in order to earn. Now that the money's in, it's not coming out and getting distributed… it's a shame! The dealer actually tried to sell to her an old cookware set, for less. That's even more a shame (on the dealer!) Seems like that person has no more delicadeza, adding insult to injury. The husband finally told the wife to stop engaging in SM, whether or not they buy their own set. Stop! Stop! Stop!
4. A couple who bought a small set was given 3 big pieces for free. Of course, with a price that high, it's like you actually paid even for the free items. Ain't that right, mate?
5. Another couple who bought a set of the SM wares was surprised to know that there is a similar cookware from TW, and at a big price difference! Otherwise, what would you call a 1/10 price difference? Peanuts?
6. Finally, in my continued search for this seemingly magical cookware over the net, I came across several sites of reviews, and the SM brand keeps on popping up. Not only that, the other brands, like WB, or the sister companies of SM were also mentioned. And the common complain is this: HIGH PRICE! There were 2 reviews that I liked much. Once came from a couple who have 2 daughters going to college, and the other one was from a mother who home-school her kids. No, these are not from
7. Here's the link. I'm actually considering buying the set that can be used on induction cooktops. www.realcook.com
C'est tout!

B(7)e Mine: MuckRock's FBI file crushes
With Valentine's Day right around the corner, MuckRock staff is declassifying their infatuation with figures from our FBI Files project.
Richard Feynman put himself on the FBI's Do Not Call list
Richard Feynman's sprawling FBI file covers two-thirds of the legendary physicist's career, from drama over his invitation to speak a Soviet science conference to an unnamed colleague citing his hobby of cracking safes at Los Alamos as evidence he was a "master of deception and enemy of America." But the file stops abruptly in 1958, and for a very Feynmanian reason: Feynman asked them to.
MuckRock Podcast: The Feynman Files
For the past few months, we've taken a small team at MuckRock aside to work on a special project unlike anything we've ever done. Today, I'm excited to share the results: The MuckRock podcast, season 1, episode 1.
The Feynman Files: The professor's invitation past the Iron Curtain
While his roguish charm won over classrooms and the public, physicist Richard Feynman was subjected to years of espionage and scrutiny as the Federal Bureau of Investigation trailed him and his associates, intent on rooting out communist sympathies from the man who helped make America the world's first nuclear power.
Richard Feynman, master of deception and enemy of America?
While the vast majority of letters, interviews and other data gathered by the FBI regarding Richard Feynman pain the picture of a loyal genius who helped America build the first atomic weaponry, one interviewee saw a more sinister purpose: A methodical, patient path towards betraying the country from its very highest ranks.

I never grew up being a beach lover.
I remember loving it when I was a kid – We used to go almost every weekend during the summers, sitting in almost the same spot each time on 38th street. But something changed when I was around 13 years old. I don't know what happened, but the idea of sand and sunscreen in my eyes and toes disgusted me. Shortly after this, I went to boarding school and Carmel-By-the-Sea became the only beach I would ever tolerate – mostly because it was the only beach I knew that required jeans and a down jacket more or less 360 days of the year. No sunscreen needed and bonfires for days.
And then the East Coast happened.
And then Maine happened.
I wrote about the first time I went to Maine last fall; Just before Thanksgiving, I took the train to Portland to get away for a day. A few weeks before then, I decided I wanted to take some time out of the city and see something I hadn't seen before. Portland quickly came to mind as being a city that was cheaply accessible by train and had the East Coast waterfront I was looking for. Maybe it was also my fandom for Once Upon a Time on ABC, but you get the point. I wanted Maine, and something in me was being called to it.
Going to Maine was transformative, to say the least. The train ride was absolutely gorgeous, and the minute we crossed over the Maine border it was like I had been transported to another world. I put my phone on Airplane Mode and let myself be carried away. And Portland was charming – everyone in the shops was so welcoming, the food was delicious, and the peacefulness allowed me to sit in a Starbucks for two hours for some deep, deep reflection. I had purposefully escaped to Maine because I needed to give myself the space to decide what I wanted to do with my next adventure. Was I going to law school here or in California? Was this something I really wanted? Was I going to decline the big scholarships? It was a heavy day, but it cleared the air and gave me a peace of mind that I never thought I would have. When I returned home that evening, all was well…
As I am writing this, I am sitting upright in a small twin bed in York with a large cup of coffee, and the sun peaking through the window. A month ago, my cousin (more like cool aunt / best friend / East Coast adopted grandmother) Lucille invited me to her house in Maine for a weekend. The tradition of coming to York has been in my family for many generations before me (since the 1930's and earlier, not kidding), and the house in York is very special to the current family.
Yesterday we went shopping and drove around the whole area, both of York and Ogunquit. The weather couldn't have been any better, and the sea and skies were as blue and as clear as you could have ever imagined. The beaches were covered in the most beautiful rocks, and the little towns we visited (like Perkins Cove, for instance) were the most charming, quintessential East Coast villages you would have ever seen. The New England life movie I have always dreamed of had finally come true – and I got to see a Maine lighthouse!!!!!! I got all emotional over a cement pole with a spinning light bulb in it. And here's why –
Last time I visited Maine, I came because I was having a difficult time and needed to get away for a while. A month ago, when I agreed to this trip, I didn't realize that I was going to need Maine as much as I did in this present moment. I am now at the end of my college career, and in the past couple of weeks I have had some moments that have really brought out "a lot." It hasn't been the easiest – and surprisingly enough, Maine came to me exactly when I needed her. Maine was there for me again, ready to take me with open arms and give me the space I needed. When I went outside the car to take pictures and stare at my first, true New England lighthouse… I saw the grass, the ocean flowing against the rocks, the kids running around…and a kind of quiet ran over me just as it did during my first trip to Portland. My heart was still racing from the excitement and the beauty around me, yet everything felt "okay." All was well. Maine was giving me everything I needed.
Some people have a "place" they go to when they need to breathe or cool down. Some people consider this to be a park, a tree, a corner in their house…for me, it's going to be Maine, no matter where I end up in life. I already know that Central Park isn't going to give me the same effect. And I think it's even stranger to think that Maine has been there for me these two times already, and additionally in an instance when I didn't know that this was actually going to happen. Maine knew.
So now I'm going to finish my coffee, have some quiet time, and then go for a walk around the neighborhood. I've spent the last 24 hours almost completely electronic and social media-free, and I intend to have a very similar kind of day. The work emails can wait. Twitter can deliver its own news. My classmates can answer their own questions. I believe in miracles, and I'm going to let Maine work her magic. She's done it every time.
And finally, because I'm a sap and in a good mood, here is some recommended happy-go-lucky music (appropriately epic playlist) to accompany this image:
Right Back Where We Started From – Maxine Nightingale
Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel – Tavares
Champagne Supernova – Oasis
Brandy – Looking Glass
Somewhere Over the Rainbow – Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole
Drive It Like You Stole It – Sing Street (please see this movie if you haven't)

Memo shows US general aware of Iraqis' jail abuse
By Will Dunham Wed Dec 7, 6:18 PM ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The top U.S. general in Iraq was aware in June of reports that Iraqi security forces had abused prisoners in their custody, months before U.S. forces in November found a bunker filled with detainees badly beaten by Iraqi personnel, a memo obtained on Wednesday showed.
"Over the past several months, I have received reports of serious physical abuse of detainees by ISF (Iraqi Security Forces)," Army Gen. George Casey, commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, said in a June 22 memo obtained by Reuters.
"I have forwarded those reports to the Iraqi ministries of defense and interior for appropriate action," Casey added. The memo did not state the nature of the abuse.
Casey added that abuse of detainees by the American-trained Iraqi security forces "is a violation of Iraqi law and counterproductive to all of our intended efforts here."
During a raid at a secret Baghdad bunker, U.S. forces on November 13 found 173 men and teen-age boys, many of them malnourished, beaten and showing signs of torture.
After the Iraqi Interior Minister Bayan Jabor days later played down the incident, the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad said such abuses will not be tolerated and, "The Iraqi government must take measures to ensure this kind of thing does not happen again."The United States drew international condemnation last year after photographs were made public showing American forces physically abusing and sexually humiliating Iraqi detainees at Abu Ghraib prison on the outskirts of Baghdad. The jail had been a notorious torture center under deposed President Saddam Hussein.
In his memo, Casey said he expected U.S. personnel in Iraq to be proactive in encouraging, training and mentoring Iraqi security forces on the respect for human rights in the treatment and interrogation of detainees.
Casey also said it was the responsibility of U.S. personnel in Iraq "to take all reasonable action, in accordance with the rules of engagement, to stop or prevent any observed or suspected instances of physical or mental abuse likely to lead to serious injury or the death of detained persons in Iraqi custody."
The memo stated that U.S. personnel also had the responsibility to "promptly report the details through their chain of command so those acts can be appropriately addressed with Iraqi government officials."Bryan Whitman, a Pentagon spokesman, said Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld wants to nail down specifically what Casey meant by saying "all reasonable action."
Rumsfeld has asked military commanders to devise clear rules for how U.S. personnel worldwide should take action if they see detainees being abused by foreign forces outside the United States.
"It's for him to better understand what the policies and procedures are, and to also make sure that we understand that the sergeant, the private, the lieutenant, the captain on the ground have a clear understanding of what they're responsibilities are," Whitman said.
This comes after Rumsfeld and Marine Corps Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the military's Joint Chiefs of Staff, last week appeared to differ over such rules.
At a Pentagon news conference, Pace said, "It is absolutely the responsibility of every U.S. service member, if they see inhumane treatment being conducted, to intervene to stop it."
Rumsfeld interjected, "But I don't think you mean they have an obligation to physically stop it. It's to report it."
Pace responded, "If they are physically present when inhumane treatment is taking place, sir, they have an obligation to try to stop it."
But your headline is the story.
It'll be interesting to see which interpretation the media chooses.

Did some scrapping
Top: Taylor loves to hold Kylie. I used the RAKScraps Anniversary Kit by me, Correen, Jeanine & Rachel at Scrapdish for this one.
Middle: I used Pri's comment on my blog when I posted this photo as the title! Loved it! :) Used the Home for the Holidays kit from Scrapartist for this one.
Last but not least: Some photos from 2004, I used Amy Knepper's fantabulous Home for the Holidays kit from Scrapdish. I've been working on this page for weeks and it finally all came together for me when I thought of using the torn paper - like the ripped wrapping. This kit is so full of amazing little pieces - embellished tags, cards, ornaments - just amazing!

Mr. McDonald was 71 and lived in Storrs.
"He was visionary," said UConn President Harry J. Hartley. "During John's tenure we went from a little-collection-of-books notion of what a library should be to a system of technology branching out to the entire higher educational community."

Spain has been the gues of honor of the 19th international fair for language and cultures which took place in Berlin from 17th till 19th November.
More than twenty Spanish exhibitors will be represented, including language schools, culture institutes, language travel organisers and tourism agencies. The seminar programme that accompanies the fair will give visitors the opportunity to become acquainted with Spain through lectures and presentations. Furthermore, Spain will be a focus of the fair's cultural programme.
Speakin Spanish creates mobility: a person who can speak fluently Spanish can communicate with more than 420 million people worldwide. "Language Advance Mobility" is also the motto of this year's Expolingua Berlin, and with this slogan, the fair is supporting the "European Year of Employee Mobility" that has been proclaimed by the European Commission.
"Learning Spanish moves you ahead: the language is really in trend", explains Silke Lieber, project head of Expolingua Berlin. "Spain's being named this year's guest of honor recognizes the great interest in Spain and Spanish as a foreign language". The country's fantastic variety will receive particular attention, and fairgoers can become acquainted with the Castilian, Catalonian, Aragon, Galician and Basque regions, as weel as many others.
The main goal of Expolingua Berlin is to offer an overview of the numerous possibilities to learn and teach foreign languages. More than 150 exhibitors from more than 20 different countries presented their products and services. Expert speakers provided information about internships, exchange programmes and study opportunities abroad. In addition, mini-language courses were offered and language tests introduced.

Dangerous by Design 2014 (48 page pdf, Smart Growth America - National Complete Streets Coalition, May 20, 2014)
Also discussed here: Paris to limit speeds to 30 km/hr over entire city (World Streets: The Politics of Transport in Cities, May 21, 2014)
And here: Oops! What went wrong with "Old Mobility"
(World Streets: The Politics of Transport in Cities, Jun. 6, 2010)
Today we review a report from a non-governmental organization which aims to make streets safer for everyone, but particularly children and seniors. Children cannot see cars coming when travelling at more than 20 mph and, because they are small, drivers cannot see them either, making this segment of our population vulnerable. Seniors and those who have difficulty walking quickly are killed by cars at almost twice the rate as their part of the population (21% vs 12.6 %). Speed kills and many arterial roads encourage speeding – the risk of death of hit by a car moving at more than 50 mph is 75% while that drops to 6% at 20 mph.
Streets can be designed to protect pedestrians- by removing lanes, by giving pedestrians clearly marked areas to cross, by enforcing reduced speed limits. The Mayor of Paris, France proposes to forbid driving above 30 kph (about 20 mph) on all city streets, with a few exceptions, which tells you two things: first, their society is aging faster than in US/Canada and, second, the city fathers (or in this case mother) put a greater priority on pedestrian safety then on motorized mobility (the French call that "the old mobility").
Key Quotes:
"At 20 mph, the risk of death to a person on foot struck by the driver of a vehicle is 6 percent. At 30 mph, that risk of death is three times greater. And at 45 mph, the risk of death is 65 percent—11 times greater than at 20 mph. When struck by a car going 50 mph, pedestrian fatality rates are 75 percent and injury rates are more than 90 percent"
"Where the posted speed limit was recorded, 61.3 percent of pedestrian fatalities were on roads with a speed limit of 40 mph or higher. This figure compares to just 9 percent of fatalities that occurred on roads with speed limits less than 30 mph."
"The majority of pedestrian deaths occur on arterial roadways, planned and engineered for speeding automobiles with little consideration for the diversity of people—young, old, with and without disabilities, walking and bicycling—who rely on these streets to get them from point A to point B."
"The nation's older population will nearly double in size in the next 30 years. The number of racial and ethnic minorities is also projected to grow significantly. These groups, along with children, are disproportionately represented in pedestrian deaths."
"The most common cause of traumatic brain injury for children aged 5 to 9 is pedestrian injury… A recent study of perceptions of children aged 6 to 11 found that they lack the ability to detect vehicles moving faster than 20 mph. They don't see the cars coming"
"While comprising 12.6 percent of the total population, adults aged 65 and older account for nearly 21 percent of pedestrian fatalities nationwide from 2003 to 2010.. For those 75 and older, pedestrian fatality rates are even more alarming, with 3.96 fatalities per 100,000 capita.15 People aged 75 years and older account for six percent of the total U.S. population, but more than 12 percent of pedestrian fatalities."
"Generally, designing for safe, walkable communities begins with understanding how people use— and want to use—streets and public spaces to access destinations. From there flow general considerations such as separate people walking from people driving vehicles; keep traffic speeds low; ensure all sidewalks and curb ramps are accessible to people with disabilities; and clarify where each road user should be expected to travel."
"The just-elected new Mayor of Paris, Madame Anne Hidalgo, has prepared a revolutionary sustainable mobility project whereby virtually all of the streets of the city will be subject to a maximum speed limit of 30 km/hr….The only exceptions in the plan are a relatively small number of major axes into the city and along the two banks of the Seine"

Conservatives have a brilliant way of denying that the past has consequences in the present day. Even in the face of evidence, they can ramble on as they hold true to their tired narratives.
Whether it's trying to convince the nation the economic collapse was Obama's fault, or BENGHAZI!! was a conspiracy — these guys really know how to feign amnesia.
In an interview with Bob Schieffer on Face the Nation, Bush talked about his new book, 41, that he wrote about his father, George H.W. Bush's presidency, and some of the things that happened in his own presidency.
When speaking about the Gulf War and the War in Iraq, the pretzel fan wrote:
He was right, and I was right too.
Bush went on to brush aside any rumors that he invaded Iraq to finish his father's war during his one-term presidency.
He felt he had real reasons for the invasion, though the declassified Rumsfeld memo shows that any old reason to attack would have done, even if it wasn't true, all they had to do was make it stick.
Like the time when George W. said:
"The Iraqi regime . . . possesses and produces chemical and biological weapons. It is seeking nuclear weapons. We know that the regime has produced thousands of tons of chemical agents, including mustard gas, sarin nerve gas, VX nerve gas."
None of which were ever panned out, but the fart was already in the air, the proverbial can of worms was opened and the war lasted much longer than the few weeks that Dick Cheney had predicted.
George W. Bush takes no responsibility for the ISIS he helped create
Schieffer asked Bush if he had any regrets about Iraq — a war that has been unfavorable with the majority of the public since 2004.
Bush said:
"My regret is that a violent group of people [ISIS] has risen up again. This is Al Qaeda plus."
He's right — ISIS is better armored and better funded than the Al-Qaeda that George W. was contending with, but to defend his actions which led us here as something to be applauded, is utterly disturbing.
Bush is also trying to stir up support for his brother Jeb Bush to run in 2016 for presidency.
Jeb hasn't decided as of yet if he will put in his bid and follow in his brother and father's footsteps, but the forecast is looking darker by the day.
Bush said:
"He's about 50/50…It's a toss-up."

Sorry for my absence last week – I'll make up for it with a couple of new posts this week.
The topic of conversation today is Occupy Museums, a new scheme in the OCCUPY movement happening around the US. Last week, the Washington Post reported on this new movement, whose manifesto can be found here. First, I thought that I'd share a few of my favorite gems:
"The game is up: we see through the pyramid schemes of the temples of cultural elitism controlled by the 1%. No longer will we, the artists of the 99%, allow ourselves to be tricked into accepting a corrupt hierarchical system based on false scarcity and propaganda concerning absurd elevation of one individual genius over another human being for the monetary gain of the elitest of elite."
"Let's be clear. Recently, we have witnessed the absolute equation of art with capital … The wide acceptance of cultural authority of leading museums have made these beloved institutions into corrupt ratings agencies or investment banking houses- stamping their authority and approval on flimsy corporate art and fraudulent deals."
Granted, I'll give these protestors the fact that it's hard to disassociate museums with cultural elitism. And the last thing I want to do is call them, "sore losers," as they put it in this manifesto by Paddy Johnson. But isn't this the age of the new museology? Haven't museums already started to change? Let's take a look at the National Museum of the American Indian (which I went to yesterday for the first time, by the way. Very cool). The whole premise of the museum is that it works in collaboration with the people whose culture and art are being displayed. These different native nations actually curated individual exhibitions about their culture and history. NMAI is is not created by or necessarily catering to the 1% at all.
The National Museum of African American History and Culture is another example. NMAAHC is an entire museum dedicated to telling a part of American History that has been forgotten or discarded by the 1%. And these are federally funded museums. Our government is actively supporting institutions that speak to a very diverse America.
I think the quote that bothers me the most is: "Museums, open your mind and your heart! Art is for everyone! The people are at your door!" Museums exist today because of a belief in sharing the art that they have collected with the public. As Maura Judkis from the Washington Post says, "Though museum exhibitions drive the market for art collectors, the art likely would be off-limits to the 99 percent because it would be displayed exclusively in the homes of the 1 percent." Judkis has a point – if it weren't for museums, none of the artwork we have access to today would be on display.
I do believe that museums should be held accountable by the communities in which they exist, but I do not think that Occupy Museums is the answer. Who knows, maybe full-on protest will bring the results that these people are looking for. But considering the more conservative nature of museums in general, my money's not on these protestors.

Halsey opens up about a troubling time during her initial surge to super stardom.
Halsey said to get through the performance, she wore adult diapers and took two Percocet before hopping on stage. "It's the angriest performance that I've ever done in my life," she continued. "That was the moment of my life where I thought to myself, 'I don't feel like a fucking human being anymore.' This thing, this music, Halsey, whatever it is that I'm doing, took precedence and priority over every decision that I made regarding this entire situation from the moment I found out until the moment it went wrong. I walked offstage and went into the parking lot and just started throwing up."
Halsey isn't sure why she had a miscarriage, but blames herself for it.
"I beat myself up for it because I think that the reason it happened is just the lifestyle I was living. I wasn't drinking. I wasn't doing drugs. I was fucking overworked – in the hospital every couple of weeks because I was dehydrated, needing bags of IVs brought to my greenroom. I was anemic, I was fainting. My body just broke the fuck down."
She admits no one forced her to perform, but there was an inherent pressure to carry on. "I had a choice," but regrets it.
The writer describes Halsey looking off into the distance during their interview at Central Park – watching a few children playing. "I want to be a mom more than I want to be a pop star. More than I want to be anything in the world." Later, she says, "I'm really scared of being alone. I'm not trying to upset you," she says softly. "I'm really sorry."

Councillor lauds ASDAN programme
An innovative project launched by Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service that sees participants gain an ASDAN qualification has been praised by councillors.
The course, which was developed by the fire services's Phoenix Works team, has recently been completed by a group of people referred by Helston Job Centre. The programme aims to provide support and training to increase the employment opportunities of those who take part.
All participants were given the opportunity to gain Level 1 Wider Key Skills qualification in Improving Own Learning and Performance, while taking part in a range of fire service activities to promote teamwork, communication skills, raise confidence and aspirations. The course includes train the trainer, first aid, presentation and life skills.
Cllr Lance Kennedy, Cornwall Council cabinet member for community safety and public protection, said: "These courses are an excellent example of how, by working with partners such as Cornwall Works and Jobcentre Plus, we can really make a difference to the lives ofthese individuals. I am delighted to celebrate the people who have embraced this opportunity to learn from the best."
Throughout the course participants get the opportunity to learn and develop transferable skills through participating in fire and rescue service drills and activities. These skills can then be taken forward and put into practice when the group members meet local employers, support agencies and community groups to help the individuals to identify future employment, training or voluntary opportunities.
CFRS Chief Fire Officer Des Tidbury said: "I am encouraged to see how Phoenix Works team has been able to use the work and reputation of the fire and rescue service to help this group of people develop useful new skills."

Rating: NNNN
Misstress Barbara has taken a bit of heat lately from some fans for moving away from the pummeling hard techno she made her name on in favour of quirkier, more minimalist beats. Yes, she, too, is now playing lots of that acid-influenced, future-retro, bleepy minimal funk that we really need a proper name for. Long-time fans might take this new direction to mean that they're being deserted, but she actually pulls this off quite well. The aggression is still there, but there's a sexier edge to it now, and a pleasingly sleazy dirtiness that was previously hidden under the relentless pounding.
Misstress Barbara plays Friday (February 24) at This Is London.

I find adulte chat
My Quick Chat is an introductory communication system geared toward individuals with complex communication needs.
To the 310 million monthly active Snapchat users, many of whom are in their teens and early 20s: Sorry, but old people are about to crash your party. And that is exactly why the app is exploding in use, even recently overtaking Twitter in terms of daily users. App`s Anti features:⁃ no names⁃ no history⁃ no ads⁃ no spam⁃ no bots⁃ no violence The best anonymous chat game app with 1,600,000 people online meeting new friends, confessing or searching for partners to date online. The Anti Chat app helps you, when you are feeling alone or boring in following ways:- Express your secret identity in anonymous chat rooms with no registration- Not being afraid of any judgement because of self-destructing messages- Meeting new people and social networking in UK, US, India, Australian, Canadian, Asian, Arab, Russian, French, German communities- Meet up and hook up with grown-up teenagers in dorm chat rooms for 18 teens- Come up in lesbian chats, gay dating rooms if you like to flirt with same sex personalities- Find singles over 30 for serious relationships and discreet adult dating online- Play truth or dare using text and photos- Join text role play games with singles, if you feel boring- Open popular chats section, and join hundereds of rooms for meeting new people, flirting- Read public secrets posted by thousands of anonymous informators- Share your sex experience in sex confessions In addition to a big variety of english chat rooms, you should also try "random chat" option on the main page and spend your time and chatting with random strangers. Poor customer services, horrible filter system and an app run by volunteers who seem to have their own version and definitions toward the meaning of the companys term of service than what is clearly written in black and white. Nobody will judge you, as nobody can find out your real name. I've always wanted to talk to people anonymously and send decent pictures with it. This app will be yesterday's news much like other chat system before this i.e.: msn, aol and yahoo chat.Navigating the app also works a little differently here. Moreover, you can ask questions online anonymously on any topic and receive answers from the experienced community. Real people and real conversations are hard to come by, those you do find tend to leave the app for reasons mentioned above.(I'm not even 40, and I'm one of them.) To the hip kids who have grown up with the four-year-old short video sharing app: It is with regrets that admittedly I may even incorrectly explain some of how this service—with its myriad of odd features—works. A social network where people share photos and short videos for just 24 hours, Snapchat is the answer to the Internet's problem of never forgetting.
) And finally, to the adults reading this to discover what they've been missing: Apologies, but Snapchat will show you things—like what you'd look like as a glasses-wearing chihuahua—that you'll never unsee.
Text with the ones you like and block the ones you don't. As it is currently infested by bots and people looking to cyber.

|This article is a stub. You can help Final Fantasy XV Wiki by expanding it.
|There are 2 kinds of quests: main quests and sidequests. Main quests advance the story while side quests promote exploration and offer additional bonuses. Adjust your active quest from the main menu.
Quests are tasks given to the party to complete and advance the storyline and/or provide rewards. A list of all undertaken quests, both in progress and completed, can be viewed in the Main Menu under Quests. This also allows the player to select a destination to display on the map.
Main quests[edit | edit source]
Main quests, also known as missions, advance the main storyline. Their waypoints and markers are automatically displayed on the map and mini-map. Some quests do not let the player leave the location until the task is complete. Players will receive a warning before entering these locations to give them a chance to complete other tasks before entering.
List of quests[edit | edit source]
Sidequests[edit | edit source]
Sidequests are shorter than main quests and have simple objectives, such as, finding an item or hunting a creature. The recommended levels should be followed and players should match or exceed the level before undertaking the quest. It is recommended to complete as many sidequests as possible to keep ahead of the game's difficulty curve.
There are several types of sidequests:
