At the 2 minute 35 second mark of the video the flag is still. When the astronaut goes past it, it starts to move.
There's an analysis of it here at the 3 minute 5 second mark.

There's a noticeable difference in the body movements in these two clips.

What I hypothesize is that a fifty percent slow-motion was used in Apollo 11 to simulate lunar gravity. Later, they improved thier methods of simulating lunar gravity and started using a combination of slow-motion and support wires. The slow-motion in the later missions might not have been exactly half-speed. It might have been sixty five or seventy percent of natural speed. It looked better but it was inconsistent with Apollo 11 footage. The inconsistency is apparent.
At around the 21 minute mark of this video the above footage from Apollo 11 can be seen played at double speed.

It can also be seen in this video at around the 30 minute 55 second mark.
video (dot) google (dot) es/videoplay?docid=-7335269088210976286
It looks just like movement in earth gravity.
When the footage from this clip is doubled, the movements look unnaturally fast.

Here it is doubled.

When the Apollo 11 footage is doubled, the movements look natural. This makes it very clear that they used a simple fifty percent slow-motion to simulate lunar gravity in Apollo 11 and a faster slow-motion (around 67 percent according to Jarrah White's calculations) combined with wire supports in the later missions.
If you look at the acceleration of the object that falls from the astronaut's backpack and the acceleration of the hammer and feather that fall, it's apparent that the there's a difference in the way gravity affects the objects.

Evidently the slow-motion speed is different.
Watch how the corner of Collins' jacket moves in this clip.
3W's (dot) youtube (dot) com/watch?v=I_CMgqitv98
(50 second mark)
It swings back and forth the way it would in gravity.
Look at the corners of the jacket the woman astronaut is wearing in this clip.

This is real zero-gravity and they behave quite differently.
One possible explanation is that they were trying to fake zero-gravity in a diving plane and the plane wasn't diving fast enough at that point.
Here are some videos.

12-13-2008, 01:47 PMOne of the reasons they had to fake it might have been space radiation. Here's some stuff I found about space radiation.
There is an old saying that "A liar needs a good memory". Nowhere is this more true than in the Apollo program. NASA tell lies to cover up previous lies, and other discrepancies uncovered by people investigating the Moon landings. Altering previous data, removing photographs, and retracting statements made, only re-enforces the evidence that NASA are on the run, and being forced into a corner to which they cannot escape. The actions of those under investigation makes the investigator more aware they are bluffing. The longer that person, or persons, who make the extravagant claims continue, the more lies they have to tell in order to counteract it, until it reaches the point where it becomes ridiculous. That point was passed in July 1999, when NASA officials were questioned about the Moon landings on television. They dodged the all important questions like a drifter dodges the heat.
Many Apollo astronauts have long since died, as to have many of the original NASA officials involved in the scam, consequently current officials, who know that Apollo was a fake, have not quite got it right when talking openly in public. Perhaps the biggest slip of the tongue was made by NASA Chief Dan Goldin when interviewed by UK TV journalist Sheena McDonald in 1994. He said that mankind cannot venture beyond Earth orbit, 250 miles into space, until they can find a way to overcome the dangers of cosmic radiation. He must have forgot that they supposedly sent 27 astronauts 250,000 miles outside Earth orbit 36 years earlier.

two sets of radiation data
To prove his thesis, Rene tries to get certain solar data from NATIONAL
OCEANIC & ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION, (NOAA) using clever techniques
disguise his true intentions, [i.e. to get true data on solar flares.] NOAA,
unfortunately, proved to be as cagey as Rene in dodging the giving out of any
really good DETAILS on this matter, [you know, where the devil resides.]
Rene, seeing games being played, deduced that there must be two sets of data,
one which is sent to scientists on the preferred list, and one sent to the
likes of Rene as casual strangers. (p.125)

If we faked it, why did we do it more than once? Why risk that this massive conspiracy would come unraveled because of an accident?

12-13-2008, 02:08 PMDon't have such an open mind your brain falls out.
A few key points... follow the link to see more.
1. CLAIM The moon landing was faked on a movie set. Proof there are clearly two sources of light in the movies and stills taken on the moon. Since there is only one source of light in the sky (the sun) how can we explain the fact that even in shadows there is obvious "fill" light that illuminates various objects that, back lit from the sun, should be in near total darkness. Much of the show was spent on this point as they showed photo after photo, film after film, of "filled in" photos. Fill light is exactly what you would see on a studio set.
ANSWER Even granting that NASA's rocket scientists were too dumb to have thought of this and thus tipped their conspiracy hand to the no-moonies who, apparently, are smarter than rocket scientists, there were actually three sources of light on the moon the sun, the earth that reflects the sun's light, and the moon itself, also reflecting light. The albedo (reflectivity) of the earth is quite high because of the amount of clouds, so the sun acted as the light filler via the earth. And the moon was, to say the least, rather close, and also reflected light.
2. CLAIM The American flag was "waving" in the allegedly airless environment of the moon. How can this be? Proof film footage showing the astronauts planting the flag, with the flag clearly waving.
ANSWER Of course the flag was "waving" while the astronaut was fiddling with it back and forth as he jammed it into the hole. But the moment he let go of the flag, it mysteriously stopped waving. Umm, coincidence? I don't think so.
11. The Van Allen radiation belts surrounding the Earth would have fried the astronauts with a lethal dose of radiation.
ANSWER Wrong. If you blast right through the Van Allen belts it is no problem, which is what the Apollo astronauts did. X-rays would be lethal too, if you sat there soaking in them long enough. A very real problem, however, are cosmic rays. They are not a problem on a short flight like to the moon, but in long flights that might last years, like to Mars, they could be a serious problem.

NYPD spokesman Stephen Davis confirmed that detectives assigned to the unit had been transferred to other duties within the department's Intelligence Division.
An ongoing review of the division by new Police Commissioner William Bratton found that the same information collected by the unit could be better collected through direct contact with community groups, officials said.
In a statement, Mayor Bill de Blasio, a Democrat, called the move "a critical step forward in easing tensions between the police and the communities they serve, so that our cops and our citizens can help one another go after the real bad guys."
The Demographics Unit, conceived with the help of a CIA agent working with the NYPD, assembled databases on where Muslims lived, shopped, worked and prayed. Plainclothes officers infiltrated Muslim student groups, put informants in mosques, monitored sermons and cataloged Muslims in New York who adopted new, Americanized surnames.
After a series of stories by The Associated Press detailing the extent of the NYPD's surveillance of Muslims, two civil rights lawsuits were filed challenging the activities as unconstitutional because they focused on people's religion, national origin and race.
Former Police Commissioner Ray Kelly had defended the surveillance tactics, saying officers observed legal guidelines while attempting to create an early warning system for terrorism. But in a deposition made public in 2012, an NYPD chief testified that the unit's work had never generated a lead or triggered a terrorism investigation in the previous six years.
Linda Sarsour, the executive director of the Arab American Association of New York, said she was among a group of advocates at a private meeting last week with police brass at which the department's new intelligence chief, John Miller, first indicated the unit — renamed the Zone Assessment Unit — wasn't viable. She applauded the decision but said there's still concern about the police use of informants to infiltrate mosques without specific evidence of crime.
"This was definitely a part of the big puzzle that we're trying to get dismantled," Sarsour said. But, she added, "This doesn't necessarily prove to us yet that these very problematic practices are going to end."
Another person at the meeting, Fahd Ahmed, legal and policy director of Desis Rising Up and Moving, called the decision "a small step." He questioned what had happened to the information gathered by the unit.
"The concern wasn't just about the fact that this data was being collected secretly — it was about the fact that this data was being collected at all," he said.
New York Civil Liberties Union Executive Director Donna Lieberman hailed the decision, saying police-community relations took a blow from the unit's broad surveillance of all Muslims, not just people suspected of wrongdoing.
"We hope this means an end to the dragnet approach to policing that has been so harmful to police-community relations and a commitment to going after criminal suspicion, rather than innocent New Yorkers," said Lieberman, whose organization is involved in lawsuits over the practice.
In Washington, 34 members of Congress had demanded a federal investigation into the NYPD's actions. Attorney General Eric Holder said he was disturbed by reports about the operations, and the Department of Justice said it was reviewing complaints received from Muslims and their supporters.
The AP's reporting also prompted an investigation by the CIA's inspector general. That internal inquiry concluded that the CIA, which is prohibited from domestic spying, hadn't broken any laws, but it criticized the agency for allowing an officer assigned to the NYPD to operate without sufficient supervision.
The NYPD's decision to disband the unit was first reported in The New York Times.
Associated Press writer Jennifer Peltz contributed to this report.

It's first act is certainly aimless and unbearably frantic, but the rest of "The Great Gatsby" endures as an emotionally involving and thematically thought-provoking piece.

It is now apparent that F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel The Great Gatsby does not translate well to the big screen. The acting was perfectly fine but the story, as classic as it may be, can simply not be made into a decent major motion picture.

Here's my review: i am not going to see this even if it comes out on a $2 DVD sale at BigW. It reminds me of the movie Australia, overlong, boring and self indulgent, it assumes its own importance will draw me in. I haven't seen Australia either.

Despite a brilliantly vibrant cast, The Great Gatsby is merely an intoxicated image of 1920's extravagance and a poor interpretation of the classic we know and love.

There is little of redeeming value in this flick. It made me nostalgic for the version with Robert Redford and Mia Farrow and the critics weren't very kind to that one either.

With my group slowly having to break for a temporary moment I have three players who've done their share of adventuring. A Engineer whose explored the ruins of red redoubt of Karamoss and explored the ruins to the Shory flying cities as well as a necromancer whose obsessed with Eox. A dread whose powers come from a Old One though has fluffed his character to be a unnatural psionic and became a conduit through technic tinkering. They're all interested in apprenticeship under the Technic League thinking they might gain benefits from being part of their strange arcane teachings. The player playing the Engineer is a 'worshiper' of Azathoth in a sense believing he powers his creations with the primordial energies like the Shory had done with their flying cities, while the necromancer is a follower of the whispering way. I've already talked to them about possible benefits of their membership including strange spells and access to materials to construct machine/robots like he encountered in red redoubt and spells and materials to create augmented undead.
Question is how do I test them? Makes the engineer construct a creature and combat another? Make the necromancer go upon the bonding process of fusing metal to his own skeleton? I want to work with them and need ideas of how to do so without going overboard
Freedom16 |
Thanks Cheapy and I'm looking forward to your ideas. They think presenting the artifacts they found in Red Redoubt to the League is a good enough excuse though after carefully explaining they would all die horribly for 'possibly' stealing Numerian tech. I also went back through some notes and they have some mi-go technology as well from a little...side trek while at Red Redoubt. So I might toss that into a mix, the Leauge might like a brain jar or two.

Perhaps disassembling and reassembling their weapon/invention while explaining it's inner workings to an upper level member. This is a small one, but it may be an opener to allow for bigger tests.
Typically PC tests tend to go something like this:
Test giver, "Well, normally we have new recruits do X, but you're unique and we have this problem with Y that needs to be taken care of. Go take care of the Y problem and you're in."
Freedom16 |
TCG I was tempted to toss that as the basis of the first test though the necromancer doesn't deal with the craft skill well. The Dread and Engineer took some good amount of craft feats between them. I'm tempted to have the dread and engineer repair several constructs and incorporate their own numerian artifacts into the design. Then possibly make them combat it in a arena style fight or make them fight another group of haywire constructs or rogue eidolons/engineered monsters resulting of weird science.

Here's a thought for the Necromancer test:
How about the Necromancer "tries" to put a soul into a construct. He doesn't have to build the construct, but since he brings back the dead (as it were) he can try to place the soul/essence/whatever "into" something instead of re-animating the form of a skeleton/shriveled humanoid husk/skull etc.
From the GM's viewpoint/Role Playing aspect:
Regardless of success OR failure, the Technique League accepts the Necromancer into their organization because the concept/process of a "ghost in the machine" is worth exploring. At the very least the attempt is very "outside the box" thinking!
Putting a soul into a machine MAY give a certain level of A.I. ranging from basic obedience to self-thinking/problem solving and or maybe possible glimpses why some of the League's automatons "randomly" disobeys an order and/or goes rogue.
That'll be 2 cents please.
Freedom16 |
I like that idea Rom, I hinted that Karamoss was building a item called a Geist Rig and it was attached to a construct calling itself a Disciple of Karamoss and had spell casting abilities so this might be a nice return of that style of play. Possibly place a fallen league members 'soul' into a construct because like karamoss he got to close to something that lead to his destruction. The resulting 'ghost in the machine' would either be haywire due to the soul being unstable and insane or slowly becoming aware of who it is that inhabits the machine and either wants to remain dead or wishes to share its inner secrets of the power within silver mount.
This is a good way to think out of the box Rom, I'm loving the idea for the necromancers test.
Rom001 |
With the Advance Race Guide coming out soon you maybe able to make a Construct NPC to boot!
Adding a "soul to a machine" has a wide range of outcomes:
The movie Robocop comes to mind as well as the Ghost in the Machine anime series.
Then there is, of course, Alphonse from Fullmetal Alchemist anime series! "Transference" into a suit of armor THUS animating it versus having a power source/clockwork gadgetry is itself a puzzle to work out.
A great plot device is when the "transference" into a construct goes berserk/amuck/rogue into the populace and the PCs have to deal with the situation. (As you have mentioned).
Oh, what a tangle web a GM can weave!
That'll be 2 cents please.

I went out today to pick up some books from Barnes and Noble and I ran across Distant Worlds and figured I'd pick it up to help out the Eox obsessed necromancer and I actually like what I've found out about the Bonesages and the ecology of Eox. Though I like the Aballonians as a possible second test for the Engineers test, I can customize them as I see fit and they will do for a Machine Cyst in another game. I'm also thinking of forcing the necromancer to go into a no air environment until he blacks out or consumes the 'fluids of silvermount' so its a life or death situation.
Though I'm still wondering about the Dread, I want something to make his reality twist and even inflict him with more of a warped mind after peering into the dark and hearing the mad whispers of the old ones. Any ideas? Throw him to Aucturn for a brief moment or simply make him drink hypnotic fluids making his mind be 'tossed' into the void?

I had players that joined out of lust for treasure.
the standard application process was...
1. be a spellcaster
2. swear an oath of alligence
3. drink the mixed gunk that comes out of the mountian into a little cerimonial pool.
4. survive 3
5. get branded
6. do what the leauge tells you.
the players made it to four before choosing to be thrown out of the city and sneaking into the silver mount
Freedom16 |
So far I have two test for the engineer as well as the necromancer. The engineers first test will to take apart a broken gearmen or other skytech construct then take apart a piece of skytech and give his analysis of a alternate power source of the shory technology using energy spawned from Azathoth. The Necromancer will be given the supplies and must produce a spell to place a soul in a machine and make it permanent and second challenge is being placed in a environment similar to Eox where he'll have to fight several tech enhanced undead with little oxygen. The Dread is something I'm stumped on, might expose him to Aucturn so he mutates and builds up a immunity to it. His second challenge may be surviving horrors untold or fighting a Aberrant prisoner.
How does that sound?
Freedom16 |
The Dread is essentially a psionic class that uses fear against you, the character backround is based on unnatural psionics induced by technic league selective breeding and exposure to certain compounds. The characters mind is essentially a a conduit for outside influence from the great old ones/old gods which is why I've thought of exposing him to Aucturn and mutating him some.
Freedom16 |
Well I've talked to the dread and he wants 'surgery' to remove a few levels of dread in place for soulknife levels. This does play out as his 'benefit' of being a league member and he'll gain a weapon from it in the end.Does this sound like a good idea? If it does the dread will give up his mi-go tech for study.

In my opinion, it's almost always best to let people do rebuilds if they're not happy with their current class/feat/whatever choices. He's given you a nice story 'out' to explain it, so I'd definitely let him.
Maybe have the League install some crazy circuits/gems that force his energy into blades or just expose him to crazy chemicals from inside the mountain.

'ccrypt' is a utility for encrypting and decrypting files and streams. It was designed to replace the standard Unix 'crypt' utility, which is notorious for using a very weak encryption algorithm. 'ccrypt' is based on the Rijndael cipher, which is the U.S. government's chosen candidate for the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). This cipher is believed to provide very strong security. Unlike unix crypt, the algorithm provided by ccrypt is not symmetric (one must specify whether to encrypt or decrypt). Encryption and decryption depend on a user-supplied keyword (key phrase). Keywords can be any number of characters; all characters are significant (although ccrypt internally hashes the key to 256 bits). Longer keywords provide better security, since they are less likely to be discovered by exhaustive search.

Host & Hostess, what is their role?
(5) Comments
I have been one a few times, and am having one in my wedding. We normally did things like greet people, man the guest book, help the ushers identify people for seating, etc. And we were also kind of like special helpers for the bride/bridal party. My hostess will probably do something similar!
ETA: In the past, brides have asked us (hostesses) to wear black dresses of our choice, or a color that coordinated with the wedding party. Again, I will probably do the same :-)
Thanks msdl! After I told my cousin about my engagement she asked if she could be in my wedding. I told her I hadn't figured things out yet, but in my mind I had already decided my bridesmaids. I understood where she was coming from because her only sibling got married this summer and she wasn't part of the wedding. I was trying to figure out how to incorporate her into the wedding without her being a bridesmaid and now I know. Thank you!!
@asheri86 -- I am doing the same thing! My four BMs have been chosen for a long time, so my cousin will be my hostess. She was excited, and I think it's the perfect role for her :-)
*Bump* I want some more ideas!! Thank you in advance.
I basically will do the same. I have 5 BM and 3 Hostesses. One of the hostesses will actually read a poem or scripture during the ceremony. The ladies will also help out with passing out programs, greeting before the ceremony, directing people where to go for the cocktail hour & reception. Before the ceremony I will have them to help set up the reception hall with the wedding planner as well. I really adore these ladies because they are my former dance students & sorority sisters and they are the sweetest ladies. :)

When the war in Lebanon ends, the US will have to piece together a whole new strategy for dealing with Iran—especially its nuclear program. The Israeli—Hizbullah war has boldly ratcheted up Iran's regional stature at the same time it has depleted US influence and prestige.
From the outset, the Lebanese conflict was about more than just Hizbullah. Jerusalem and Washington were quick to point the finger of blame for the conflict at Iran, and it was with Iran in mind that Israel unleashed the full force of its air power in Lebanon. The US, too, saw shock and awe in Beirut as an opportunity to convince Tehran of the West's determination to bring it into compliance on the nuclear issue.
Tehran cleary received the message and viewed the US-backed Israeli war on Hizbullah as the first stage of a war on Iran. But Tehran also used the occasion to send a message of its own to Washington. While dutifully denying a direct role in the kidnapping of Israeli soldiers, Tehran nevertheless heaped praise on Hizbullah, hoping that its engagement with Israel might dampen enthusiasm for a military attack on Iran. To further drive this point home, Hizbullah surprised Israel and the US by successfully testing a number of Iranian-made advanced weapons systems.

Akdeniz Üniversitesi-Stadion
Key facts
Club: Medicalpark Antalyaspor | Opening: 2012 | Capacity: 7,100 seats
History and description
Akdeniz Üniversitesi-Stadion was built to serve as a sports venue for the Akdeniz University. It opened in 2012.
In June 2012, Antalyaspor announced to make the stadium their new home for an initial period of two seasons.
Only two years earlier, the club had moved away from their traditional Antalya Atatürk Stadi to the brand new Mardan Sports Complex, located east outside the city of Anatalya.
Its distance from the city and consequent transport problems, however, made Antalyaspor decide to make Akdeniz Üniversitesi-Stadion their new home.
The stadium currently has a capacity of 7,100 seats, but the club has plans to expand this to 12,000 by completing the stadium with a southern curve. Works are expected to be finished in early 2013.
Getting there
Akdeniz Üniversitesi-Stadion is located at the Akdeniz University campus at just under 6 kilometres west from the historic city centre of Antalya.
Address: Akdeniz University, Pınarbaşı Mh., 07985 Antalya
Ticket prices for Antalyaspor matches typically range from TLR 20.00 for a seat behind the goal to TLR 150.00 for a central seat at the main stand. Prices are increased for a few high-profile matches to between TLR 100.00 and TLR 200.00.

Steamboat Springs Kim Vogel has been named the new Routt National Forest district ranger, taking over from Sherry Reed who resigned recently after 13 years in the position.
Vogel, the Routt/Medicine Bow director of planning analysis and public affairs, will officially take up the position on June 4. Until then, Recreation Officer Ray George is acting as interim ranger.
"This is a changing position," Vogel said. "It's no longer hopping on your horse to see what you did."
She said the Forest Service is becoming a more centralized agency and the district ranger position has evolved into more of an office job.
Vogel's experience with other government agencies as well as her broad perspective of the government structure is a big asset in this type of an environment, she said.
"Having had some of those opportunities might provide some tools in the tool box to work with," she said.
Vogel has 25 years of experience working with public land 10 years with the National Parks Service and 15 years with the Forest Service.
Her first Forest Service position was as coordinator for public affairs and volunteers at the Wasatch-Cache District near Salt Lake City.
In 1986, she moved to Steamboat Springs to become director of public affairs and recreation wilderness.
Vogel said she feels fortunate to have been named to the position as it allows her to remain in Steamboat.
"I'm ready to stick around for a while," she said, adding that she expected to continue the policies of past ranger management.
Vogel's first challenge as ranger will be to assess President Clinton's roadless initiative plan, which is expected to be released Tuesday.
"I think it will be a big challenge," she said. "We've already gone through a big public process with looking at our roadless plan."
Vogel hopes Clinton's plan will reflect Routt National Forest's current roadless plan, which was designed in response to local views on use of the public lands.

Staying in any Destin Florida hotel is a less expensive alternative to the higher-priced major resorts, and you really don't sacrifice much in terms of service, accommodations, and amenities.
I've stayed in a number of the different hotels in Destin over the years, and I can honestly say that my vacation was just as enjoyable as the times I stayed in one of the resorts.
In reality, it doesn't matter where you stay. The beautiful Emerald Coast beaches, and all the other wonderful attractions that make Destin Florida a vacation paradise, are still going to be there for you to enjoy.
One Destin Florida hotel where you can enjoy all the amenities of a resort without paying the higher resort condo prices is the Sandestin Beach Hilton.
The Hilton Sandestin Beach, Golf Resort & Spa is probably the nicest Destin beachfront hotel. I've stayed there a few times and it's on the top of my list of hotels in the Destin area.
The Hilton is ideal for families, especially if your kids enjoy swimming. The Hilton has no less than three pools, two outdoor and one indoor.
Another popular hotel in Destin is the Embassy Suites In Destin Florida.
It's not directly on the beach, but it is located right across the street from the beaches. It boasts itself as "The first all-suites hotel of its kind to grace the Emerald Coast" with each suite actually having two rooms.
It's a great place to stay and the location, while not directly on the beach, is still conveniently close to the beach and other attractions.

Rookie CBs shine, rise
Backfield covers up: Wilson, Samuel stand out early
Faulk carries bulk of the load -- so far
Tight end Graham catches on to system
By: Nick Cafardo/Boston Globe
FOXBOROUGH -- Bill Belichick can stand there and gush about rookie cornerbacks Asante Samuel and Eugene Wilson. He can laud them for their work in the classroom, their work in drills, their intelligence, their work ethic, and their ability to grasp the defensive playbook.
Kevin Mannix/Boston Herald
FOXBORO - Given what we've seen so far, it could be a while before defensive tackle Ty Warren and wide receiver Bethel Johnson get meaningful playing minutes with the Patriots.
By: Nick Cafardo/Boston Globe
FOXBOROUGH -- Nothing is official, but Kevin Faulk has been taking most of the handoffs with the first unit the past couple of days, with Antowain Smith spelling him.
By: Kevin Mannix/Boston Herald
FOXBORO - A year ago, Daniel Graham was an untested first-round draft pick who was selected to fill a major need on the Patriots offense. Ben Coates retired and the Pats were still trying to locate another tight end who could step in and provide them with a dependable blocker/receiver.

The place to be....for the Characters, Places & Things on Television
Rebecca Howe - Kirstie Alley played Rebecca Howe, a neurotic business woman on the situation comedy CHEERS/NBC/1982-93.
While working as manager at Cheers, a bar in Boston, Rebecca was constantly propositioned by Sam Malone (Ted Danson), the head bartender.
One day, Rebecca told Sam there was one special song that made her melt when she heard it. Under its influence, Rebecca would be likely to do anything, even with Sam.
She was confident he'd never guess the right one. Sam, however, using his ingenuity, called Rebecca's mother and discovered her Achilles heel was the song "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" by the Righteous Brothers.
Armed with a tape recording of the song and hopeful of a swift conquest, Sam entered Rebecca's office and clicked on the song. Summoning all her strength, Rebecca fought the urge to kiss Sam.
Disappointed, Sam left the office defeated. With Sam gone, Rebecca let the music work its charms and she became very amorous. Accountant Norm Peterson (George Wendt) just happened to enter her office at fever's pitch and mistaking Norm for a returning Sam, she planted a passionate kiss on the unsuspecting bar patron.
Later in the series, Rebecca fell in love with millionaire business man Robin Colcord (Roger Rees). On two separate occasions he flew each of the Righteous Brother (Bill Medley & Bobby Hatfield) to sing their songs to her in person. Bobby Hattfield sang "Unchained Melody" at Rebecca's failed wedding ceremony to Robin.

Donaji & the Magical Poncho
This is the story of a fearless girl and her encounter with the wicked cold wind god
4.32 / 5.00 6,172 Views40 unique tests will challenge your reactions, creativity and short term memory. Only the strongest will beat them. The title and many other aspects of this game are misleading. A lot of hard work and careful planning went into this. If you like it, play the first Timewaster also.
When you reach a checkpoint, make sure you write down the password. You may come back and play from there later.
Please don't spoil it for everybody by giving away passwords or ways to beat certain levels in your comments. There is a walkthrough for the impatient ones. But try figuring it out on your own, it's more fun.
Please enjoy!
- Hristo Atanasov (RatherRandom)
Hehehe, i beat it in 52 minutes. Very entertaining, nowadays i'm more or less used to games with tricky gameplay, but you got some original tricks.
Thank you, sir. I tried hard to come up with different ideas so it doesn't get repetitive and keeps you interested.
way to waste time
how efficient it is at wasting time
first time = hr+
second time = 19 minutes.
You are a hero.
GREAT Time Waster
This game definitely added a new dimension to the previously boring button-press games...that was the fastest 46 minutes of work that I ever spent! I was also very happy to beat it without the walkthrough...all about trial and error. Bravo Hristo!
I love it!
I have to say that was the best 45 minutes I've ever wasted. I was so hard though. Ha I'm having trouble trying to write this review because I still feel like I'm timed. It was really great, but I don't know if I would really want to do that again on my own free will. lol It was intense. Good Game. I wonder if there will be a Timewaster Ultra 2. lol
Glad you liked it! I'll make sure I keep your time wasted more in the future.

Term: Numerology
Numerology: Modern numerology assigns three numbers to a personal name: one for the vowels, one for the consonants, and one combining both. A birth date is also reduced to a single number in numerology. These four resultant numbers are then interpreted in light of the symbolic meanings for the numbers 1 through 9. source: Truth about Numerology, David Allen Hulse Numerology: An ancient system with many variations that assigns numbers to each letter of the alphabet. The most common Western system sets up a grid with the numbers 1-9 at the top and the English alphabet below. Thus, A=1, B=2, C=3 up to I=9, then J=1, K=2, etc. In this way any word can become a number and numbers can be manipulated in a variety of ways. The resulting number is then interpreted according to predetermined meanings. This is most often used with the birth name, but can also be used with other words, numbers, and dates.

How To Make Angle Adjustments on Dry Lanes
If you are trying to learn
how to make angle adjustments on dry lanes
, then kindly consider the following keys to guide you in hitting the pocket consistently:
1. Lane Oil Conditions
2. Initial Alignment
3. Angle Change for Dry Lanes
Everything in learning
how to make angle adjustments on dry lanes
begins with an understanding of the lane conditions and with good initial alignment. The lane oiling conditions are always the essential element in determining how to line up initially. Lane conditions have the greatest concentration of oil on the front end of the lane, the front twenty feet of the lane typically, and in the middle portions of the front end of the lane between the 10 board on the left side of the lane and the 10 board on the right side of the lane.
In most bowling centers, the oiling pattern during the day time hours will allow bowlers to line up somewhere around the second arrow or tenth board from the edges of the lane (right side for right handers, left side for left handers) and to place their alignment foot on or near the center "Dot" on the approach which corresponds to the 20 (twenty) board or the center board. Placing the instep of the left shoe (for right handed bowlers) covering the 20 board will position the outside of the bowling shoulder very nearly in front of the 10 board or second arrow. Therefore, initial alignment on freshly oiled lanes usually means targeting or spotting the 10 board or very near that 10 board, perhaps at the 8 or 9 board or even the 11 board depending on the bowler.
If you use this alignment positioning when you begin all of your sessions on the lanes, then you will base angle adjustments for dry lanes from this initial alignment. After making a few deliveries and you warm up and reach your normal ball delivery speed range, you can then "read" the lane condition and make angle adjustments accordingly. Once you feel you have the best of your available bowling balls in hand and you are not seeing your ball finish squarely in the pocket but rather hooking excessively onto the head pin or perhaps missing the head pin to the left (right handed bowlers) when you make a good delivery over your selected target board, then making adjustments to the left side of the approach by changing your angle to the pocket is the next step.
Generally speaking, if your ball rolls or hooks too soon due to dry lane conditions and hooks too far onto the nose of the head pin or misses the head pin to the left entirely, then adjusting the positioning of your feet on the approach and your target on the lane to the left is a dependable adjustment. A good technique is to move your feet two boards on the lane and your target with your eyes one board in the same direction and to the left for dry lane conditions so you automatically make an effective angle change and increase your chances of the ball hitting the pocket. Be sure to move both your feet and your target on the lane together and in the same direction. There are always exceptions to any "rules of thumb" such as 3:1 ratio adjustments or 1:1 ratio adjustments, but this angle change technique of 2:1 is effective and very useful for nearly all lane conditions.
Don't be afraid to make multiple adjustments in 2:1 ratios with your feet and eyes at the target area until you achieve a desired result. Sometimes moving the feet 4 boards and the eyes 2 boards is required to make the necessary angle adjustment so your ball hits the pocket squarely. In some cases, greater adjustments are needed such as 6:3 or perhaps 8:4 adjustments. If your ball misses the head pin to the left entirely, expect to make angle adjustments at a minimum of 4:1 ratios, perhaps even in greater ratios. Also, expect to make occasional angle adjustments while you bowl or when you change lanes.
Your feet are not nailed to the floor - do not fear making angle adjustments but do remember to try and follow these recommended techniques so your ability to hit the pocket consistently improves over time. Do not be afraid to practice these angle adjustments for dry lanes during practice session (open play) by sweeping the practice lane from your starting position to the left in prescribed ratios so you emulate changing conditions in your competitions and making angle adjustments an easy process.

The Horse Forum
- Trail Riding
- - How to prep a horse for a long trail ride?
How to prep a horse for a long trail ride? 5 Attachment(s) I wasn't sure whether to put this in this section, or in training. Obviously, I picked here. Haha. So I don't ride my horse all that much, and when I do it's mainly trail riding. My mom wants to go on a weekend trail ride adventure with me and two or three of the other girls that work for her (my mom tends to hire girls over boys do to pony rides just because girls seem more trusting... that, and most cowboys don't want anything to do with crazy, cute ponies). It wouldn't be as intense as actually camping, just a day of riding, sleep in a cabin while the horses have stalls, then more riding the next day. I just wanted to know what I should do to prep Ginger for that kind of ride. I rode her for five miles for my mom's birthday a year or so ago, and Ginger did great, acted like it was nothing. I'm not sure what the terrain is like where we're going. If you need any more information, just ask :D |
You need to start riding her as much as possible, and increasing the distance each time. You can't take a mostly out of work horse and make it work hard for 2 days and not expect problems. I know someone who hadn't ridden her horse in months, and took him to a 3 day show. Horse developed laminitis, and foundered so badly he had to be euthed. You wouldn't try and do a 2 day hike without prepping for it, would you? Same for horses. |
5 Attachment(s) Quote:
Yes, and good for you for asking. Shows you have your horse's best interest in mind. :D |
Take your horse out for some rides. If you can get out a couple of times a week and do a two hour ride, Your horse will be fine for the saturday ride. Or maybe a just an hour in the arena doing harder work. It's just like marathon runners. They run 26.2 miles during their marathon race. But they don't run 26 miles every day in training. The better training program would be to do some long slow miles. Go out and ride 5 miles at a brisk walk with some intermittant trots. You can do that in an hour. until the horse legs up a bit, avoid the sprints and full out gallops. As the horse legs up, you can add a longer/harder ride on saturday when you havve more time. Horses are just like people. You can't be a couch potato and over night become an athelete. but even a coach potato can start out by walking around the block. |
5 Attachment(s) I worked with her for about an hour today, just walked on the lunge line with the saddle on, then walked with me in the saddle. I'm also in the process of getting her less herd bound, and even though there will be other horses with us on the trail, it's irritating when she doesn't want to leave her pasture mates. But the barn for the barn board option is about five miles away from where the pasture board is, so I think my goal will be to be able to ride all the way to the barn, cool her down at the wash room, and have her trailered back. We made a big step today and went across the road, out of sight, and back to the round pen without indecent haha. So YAY! |
5 Attachment(s) Additionally, is there any sort of device like a pedometer that I can use to find out how many miles we go? It will help with training, too, so I can start out with a mile and go up from there. Or is there something else that you guys suggest that will do the same thing? |
I use to have something to track how far a person would walk. Obviously it would work a bit different with a horse but I suppose it would work for the most part. It was a little strap that went around the ankle or arm. (Maybe I can find it.) It is very similar to the reflective straps I ordered for my horse. However, if you can't seem to get something like that.. I would suggest timing how long you are going on these rides and note what you did during that time. I am trying to get my horse back in shape. All I have been doing is clocking his times and what he has been doing. I have also been noting temperatures because in my eyes that can really affect what happens. |
5 Attachment(s) I wonder if a normal pedometer would work if you strapped it to the breast collar. Hmmm... |
I couldn't find how to edit my post but I found this. Horse-O-Meter ? I was looking for the one I use but couldn't find it. These might be better anyway. |

FOREX-Dollar little changed; weak euro zone data offsets Trump report
* Euro hits 9-day low vs dollar, nearly 4-week low vs sterling
* Nike suspends endorsement deal with Pistorius
* Sportswear company's athletes hit by series of scandals
* "Blade Runner" backed by several major sponsors
By Keith Weir
LONDON, Feb 21 Nike froze its contract with "Blade Runner" Oscar Pistorius on Thursday after he was charged with murdering his girlfriend, the latest in a series of scandals to hit athletes sponsored by the sportswear giant.
Criticised in the past for being slow to respond when its sporting heroes got into trouble, Nike distanced itself from Pistorius, the Paralympics champion accused of shooting dead model Reeva Steenkamp on Feb. 14, Valentine's Day.
"Nike has suspended its contract with Oscar Pistorius," the world's largest sportswear company said in a brief statement released in London.
"We believe Oscar Pistorius should be afforded due process and we will continue to monitor the situation closely."
The decision means the South African will receive no further payments from Nike for the time being and not appear in any of its promotions.
Pistorius, the world's best known Paralympic athlete, denies murder. He says he killed his girlfriend by accident after firing into a locked toilet door when he feared an intruder had broken into his home.
Nike, famous for its "swoosh" logo, has had to try to limit the damage to its brand from a number of scandals involving highly paid sports stars in recent years.
It ended a long-standing sponsorship of U.S. cyclist Lance Armstrong last October after the Texan was caught up in a doping scandal that led to him being stripped of his seven Tour de France titles.
Nike stuck with American golfer Tiger Woods in 2009 when a series of extra-marital affairs were exposed.
Contrasting the treatment of Armstrong and Woods, marketing experts drew a distinction between evidence of cheating in sport and a greyer area of trying to make moral judgements on an athlete's private life.
Pistorius, a double amputee, ran against able-bodied athletes in the London Olympics last year, further raising his profile after a battle to be allowed to compete.
His story of sporting triumph over physical disability made him especially attractive to advertisers and he had endorsement contracts worth an estimated $2 million a year.
Nike has sponsored Pistorius since 2007, supplying him with running kit and special soles that he wears on the base of his carbon fibre racing blades.
His other sponsorship deals with companies include British telecoms firm, U.S. sunglasses maker Oakley and French designer Thierry Mugler.
His sponsors have largely declined to comment on their contracts while his bail hearing is taking place in Pretoria.
Nike is still prepared to pay big money to tie up the next generation of sporting stars.
It added world number one golfer Rory McIlroy to its roster last month in a deal reported to be worth up to $250 million over the next decade.

But according to a new report, the coaches may have been the ones to suggest the idea to "toughen up" Martin to Incognito after the then-rookie Martin missed voluntary workouts. Incognito, the offensive line's leader, might have taken that suggestion to a drastic level. Via Omar Kelly of the Sun Sentinel: Advertisement Advertisement Sources say that communication took place when Martin skipped two days of the team's OTA program, and Incognito was encouraged by his coaches to make a call that would "get him into the fold," one source said.Even though OTA workouts are voluntary, the NFL culture forces coaches to strong arm the team's leaders to make sure everyone attends. Sources say Incognito was doing his job, but they admit he crossed the line.Incognito's reportedly never playing with the Dolphins again, but was he following orders from higher up? Motivation and an attempt to bring the team closer is an idea with good intent, but Incognito's effort clearly crossed the line. And now, the Dolphins are without two starting linemen indefinitely.

Upsher-Smith Completes Acquisition of Proximagen Group plc
Supports Acceleration of CNS Strategic Intent
MAPLE GROVE, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug 14, 2012 - Upsher-Smith Laboratories, Inc. today announced that on Tuesday, August 14, 2012 it completed its acquisition of UK-based Proximagen Group plc (AIM: PRX), a European biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of novel therapeutics for diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) and inflammation. The acquisition was approved by Proximagen's shareholders.
J.P. Morgan acted as financial advisor and Skadden acted as legal advisor to Upsher-Smith in connection with this transaction.
"The acquisition of Proximagen adds significantly to our scientific capabilities and supports the acceleration of our vision of becoming a leader in the CNS category," said Mark Evenstad, President and Chief Executive Officer of Upsher-Smith. "The combination of Upsher-Smith's clinical development and commercialization expertise with Proximagen's research and development platform provides the opportunity to further enhance our ability to bring new therapies to market to benefit patients."
As previously announced, the acquisition provides Upsher-Smith with a robust research and development platform for future growth. Proximagen's pipeline contains a number of programs in various stages of development across a number of therapeutic classes including CNS, inflammation, oncology and ophthalmology.
Upsher-Smith's Expanding CNS Pipeline
Upsher-Smith's central nervous system pipeline in clinical development includes USL255, an investigational extended-release topiramate for the management of epilepsy in adults, which is being studied in an ongoing international Phase III clinical trial. Upsher-Smith is also developing USL261, an investigational intranasal midazolam for the rescue treatment of seizures in patients on stable anti-epileptic drug regimens who require control of intermittent bouts of increased seizure activity, frequently referred to as seizure clusters. USL261 has been granted orphan drug designation for this use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and is currently in Phase III of development. Another Upsher-Smith development program involves USL260 (tonabersat), an investigational drug in Phase I of development that is a potential first-in-class neuronal gap junction modulator that is also being explored as a potential treatment for epilepsy.
