(written from a Production point of view)
Data records a day in his life for Commander Bruce Maddox, including observations on Chief O'Brien's wedding, and the mystery of a Vulcan ambassador who apparently dies in a transporter accident.
- "Second Officer's Personal Log, Stardate 44390.1. Record entry for transmission to Commander Bruce Maddox, Cybernetics Division, Daystrom Institute:
- "Dear Commander Maddox, in reference to your most recent letter, I agree that your study lacks the primary source information on my programming and operation. Therefore; in response to your request, this correspondence will include a complete record of my activities during a normal day, with particular emphasis on friendship."
Responding to the scientist's help following Data's trial regarding his rights, Data records this log entry for Commander Maddox on Soong-type androids to aid him in this study. This is his day he recorded:
The day begins with the handover of the bridge from night watch to day watch, with Data ceding command to Commander Riker. The first officer has arrived 15 minutes early so Data, a member of the O'Brien wedding party, will have more time to prepare which the second officer appreciates. He relates his not-quite-emotional anticipation regarding his participation in the wedding. Data updates Riker, which essentially sums up the action to come: Lieutenant Juarez went into labor, and the ship is at station awaiting the arrival of the Ambassador-class ship, the USS Zhukov, bearing Vulcan Ambassador T'Pel.
Data's narration continues as he departs the bridge and travels to his first off-watch destination:
- "Initially Commander Maddox, I found it difficult to maintain friendships since human emotions are often puzzling to me. Eventually, I developed a program enabling me to predict human emotional responses to specific actions."
He then drops in on Keiko Ishikawa in her quarters to inform her that the wedding rehearsal is to begin. Keiko informs Data that she's unhappy, and that she would like to call off the wedding to Miles O'Brien, and that this decision would make her happy. Since it was Data who introduced O'Brien to her, it would mean a lot of he would talk to him for her, which Data accepts and leaves.
- "My friend Chief O'Brien often says that above all else, he wants to make Keiko happy. Since cancelling the wedding will make her happy, I must conclude the chief will be pleased at her decision."
Data arrives at Ten Forward in the middle of staff setting up wedding decorations, and delivers the "good news" to O'Brien, who reacts entirely opposite to Data's prediction. After O'Brien storms out, Geordi La Forge advises Data that he should let him deliver any further "good news" of this type. When La Forge leaves, Data continues the narration:
- "Commander Maddox; it would appear that my program design to predict emotional responses needs... adjustment."
Act One Edit
- "Second Officer's log, supplemental: This is the 1,550th day since the Enterprise was commissioned. Besides the arrival of Ambassador T'Pel, other events occurring today include four birthdays, two personal transfers, a celebration of the Hindu Festival of Lights, two chess tournaments, one secondary school play, and four promotions. Overall, an ordinary day."
Data arrives at the transporter room and gives the order to Hubbell to bring Ambassador T'Pel aboard. She coldly informs Data that she wishes to meet with his captain and immediately leaves the transporter room. Data resumes the narration.
- "Since I am not affected by emotional considerations, I am closer to being Vulcan than Human. However, while their devotion to logic has a certain appeal, I find their stark philosophy to be somewhat... limited."
Upon bringing T'Pel to the captain in his ready room, Data and Commander Riker are asked to leave, which they do without question. Data returns to the bridge, where Riker mutters to him that T'Pel is a "charming woman," in a very sarcastic tone.
- "The tone of Commander Riker's voice makes me suspect that he is not serious about finding Ambassador T'Pel charming. My experience suggests that in fact; he may mean the exact opposite of what he says. Irony is a form of expression that I have not yet been able to master."
In the ship's barbershop, La Forge and V'Sal are exchanging friendly insults and banter regarding La Forge's haircut and V'Sal's skill at it as the former was there last week. V'Sal knows La Forge wants to look good for the wedding but he is not a miracle worker, which La Forge requests that his ears are kept on straight.
- "Friendly insults and jibes; another form of human speech that I am attempting to master. In this case: with the help of Commander Geordi La Forge. I consider Geordi to be my best friend."
When Geordi asks if he's here for a trim, Data replies in a friendly jibe: "My hair does not require trimming, you lunkhead." La Forge advises him not to try it on the captain, which Data agrees with.
Data then attempts to understand the interplay of Keiko and Chief O'Brien earlier in the day, and explores the terms "cold feet" and "jitters" with La Forge's help. La Forge ends the exchange with his firm belief that the wedding will in fact proceed and tells Data he'd better get a gift. The narration resumes:
- "I find Lieutenant Worf to be what is called, a kindred spirit. We were both orphans rescued by Starfleet officers. In many ways, we are both still outsiders in human society."
Worf is in the replicating center and confirms that he's picking out a wedding gift and agrees to help Data in finding something appropriate, having attended weddings before. Worf points out a selection of crystal glasses as a typical traditional gift his adoptive parents would give for family weddings. When he pauses the display on a crystal swan however, Data mentions that it was his understanding that the item selected should reflect the personality of the giver; a swan doesn't remind him of Worf. Data changes the subject to actual participation in a wedding. Worf notes his discomfort with the overall sentimentality of the wedding ritual and notes that though he would be honored to participate in one, he is not sure about all of the "talking, dancing, and crying" that would be involved. Data pauses at the notion of dancing.
- "I am rarely in need of Dr. Beverly Crusher's professional services, as my bio-mechanical maintenance program is self-efficient. But I often observe as she practices medicine on others, and have learned a great deal of human interaction from her."
In sickbay, Dr. Crusher and her staff examines the expectant Lieutenant Juarez. Data asks her in passing if she would teach him how to dance. Crusher pulls him quickly into the privacy of her office after Martinez notices them talking about this while walking by and asks why her. He brings up her service record and notes she won first prize in numerous tap and jazz competitions. She stops him and explains that was a long time ago and does not want to be known as the "Dancing Doctor" again. Data takes it as a refusal but she agrees to teach him as long as they keep it between them and imitates a zipped-lip signal, to which Data agrees and returns the signal. Data is then paged to the bridge by Captain Picard, who asks him for a tactical projection of possible Romulan deployments along the Neutral Zone, using all Federation records on the subject and report to his ready room, without any particular area to study. The captain then orders the ship to set a course for 130.246 at warp 7, which takes the ship very close to the Neutral Zone. Data continues the narration:
- "It is fortunate, that I am able to preform my duties without emotional distractions. If that were not the case, a sudden course correction toward the Neutral Zone, would make me very... nervous..."
Just then, Data catches his right hand tapping the console apparently of its own accord...
Act Two Edit
Data enters the ready room and gives his analysis of the Romulan strategy behind the deployment of their ships in the sector. Their ships are deployed to support a policy of confrontation, as a method to test Federation defenses along the Neutral Zone; with a 90% probability that they will continue that policy with no sign of a more conciliatory attitude on their part. Ambassador T'Pel agrees with caution but states the mission must proceed as planned. Picard notes that Starfleet Command agrees wit the ambassador, but his call for an escort are flatly rejected by the ambassador. He then thanks Data as he leaves the ready room.
Data then goes to his quarters and orders feline supplement 74 for Spot, a long-haired orange cat that is Data's. He proceeds to his work desk and as he works, Spot jumps on his lap and Data proceeds to give the feline attention. Data is shortly joined by Chief O'Brien, who comes to apologize for his outburst earlier in the day in Ten Forward. Data makes multiple and finally overly-friendly attempts to make the chief more comfortable, offering pillows, music, and a drink. O'Brien gets to the point by appealing to Data to talk to Keiko to try and get the wedding back on. Data concludes by noting that Keiko may not have fully analyzed her position. He resumes his personal log as he walks down the corridor, noting to Commander Maddox that Keiko was calm and reserved when she made her decision, and concludes that reviewing the available facts should help, and that emotional considerations do not seem to have clouded her judgment.
Data meets Keiko in the arboretum and logically and aggressively points out Keiko's "errors", to which Keiko responds with an emotional appeal to leave her alone. Data continues the voiceover as he describes his relationship with Counselor Troi. Data then describes his research to Counselor Troi regarding various wedding customs. Troi advises him that the best way to help Miles and Keiko is to stay out of the process. They then move onto the concept of Data getting married and his reservation that he cannot grow old with someone. They are interrupted when Ambassador T'Pel summons Data to her quarters.
T'Pel attempts to make use of Data's Priority 3 clearance on the ship to gain information about the deflector shields' field strength at maximum output, using her access code of Kappa Alpha 4601704. Data informs her that while the code is valid, he must report any inquiry regarding restricted information to the captain. T'Pel lamely backs out of the request by telling Data she was merely interested in his security safeguards, and that they appear to be adequate. Data continues the narrative, telling Commander Maddox that he wishes for a gut feeling regarding T'Pel, even though he does not believe that she, a Vulcan, could have lied about her request.
Act Three Edit
Data arrives at the holodeck, where Dr. Crusher is finishing up some pre-exercise stretching in a dance studio. She gives him one beginning lesson in tap-dancing. Data informs her after this lesson that she should simply teach him the final lesson. Data then perfectly mimics Dr. Crusher's routine, which becomes increasingly elaborate. Crusher has to interrupt Data's exploration of routines with the refrain of "Stop, Data!"
After mastering tap-dancing, Data informs the doctor that he is now prepared to dance at the wedding. Dr. Crusher explains that tap is not used at weddings, though she doesn't know why when Data asks. She figures that the waltz, the appropriate dance, will be much easier, but contrary to her expectations Data finds the act of dancing with a partner extremely difficult as he is unable to look at her feet, or understand the variables and nuances. Instead, Crusher leads while Data observes their feet as she explains the movements, and then to look into his partner's eyes while they switch leads, with Data being much improved. Crusher is called to look in on the laboring Lt. Juarez and leaves Data to practice with a holographic partner. In parting, she orders Data to smile, which he does with a mannequin-like enthusiasm.
Data next arrives on the bridge as Commander Riker is telling a gruesomely funny story to two other officers and Ensign Kellogg who is monitoring the security console, and narrates his speculation that humor and sex appear to have a correlation but notes the need for additional research is clearly indicated. The fun comes to an end as a Romulan D'deridex-class warbird, the Devoras, is detected and sends them a message telling them to proceed on a heading of 037.005 to the agreed-upon coordinates which end in the Neutral Zone.
T'Pel informs Data to hold position at a specified set of coordinates. Admiral Mendak appears on the viewscreen and agrees to allow the ambassador to be beamed aboard. T'Pel refuses any attempt to have an escort, or to have the conference held aboard the Enterprise, and departs to the transporter room by herself. Over the intercom, the bridge crew monitors the transport as the transporter pattern breaks down and the ambassador is killed.
Act Four Edit
Data continues with a supplemental entry to his personal log, describing how he misses out on Human emotion at a time like this when the rest of the crew is suffering from the loss of a comrade aboard a starship. Chief O'Brien begins as the narrative ends to describe the accident and Data supplies that it is unlike any transporter malfunction ever recorded on a Starfleet vessel. La Forge establishes that the transporter is in perfect working order, and O'Brien follows up with the statement that the transition coil was replaced only the week before, and that there was no interference from the Romulans' shields. Dr. Crusher then reports that there isn't enough left of T'Pel to do an autopsy, only some molecular compounds left on the transporter pad.
Worf calls Picard over the intercom that Admiral Mendak is hailing. Picard returns to the bridge and reports the apparent death of T'Pel. Mendak compliments him for a well-played maneuver, accusing him of arranging for T'Pel's death, and recommending that both ships leave the Neutral Zone. Picard gives Data the task of investigating the accident. Data's voiceover continues with his relation of the methods of Sherlock Holmes which he notes Picard had introduced him to and how he applies the adage of "Once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."
Data then arrives at sickbay and asks for a comparison of the ambassador's last transporter ID trace with the remains, with the caveat that he may be chasing an "untamed ornithoid without cause." The genetic code is examined and found to be identical, except that there are single-bit errors in the base-pair sequence as if it were replicated material. Dr. Crusher postulates that the DNA was mutated by the accident, or that the remains are not those of the ambassador.
Act Five Edit
Data, La Forge, and Riker are in the ready room as Data explains to Captain Picard that the only explanation of the evidence is that a second transporter signal appears to have been operating during the accident, and that the ambassador was beamed off the Enterprise pad while fake remains were beamed onto the pad in her place. Picard queries Lt. Worf on the bridge as to the whereabouts of the Devoras. Worf replies that it is on heading 079, 125 at warp 2 and still in the Neutral Zone, on its way home. As he watches Picard silently considering his next move, Data voices over his prediction of the 17% chance that Picard will call for advice from Starfleet, and is rewarded with Picard's call to red alert and an order to intercept the Devoras. Riker immediately orders Worf to raise shields, with all weapons loaded and ready. As the Enterprise comes in hot, the Romulan ship drops out of warp and both ships confront each other, ready for battle.
Admiral Mendak hails and begins to complain about Picard, who interrupts with an accusation that Ambassador T'Pel has been kidnapped. At that moment, a second Warbird decloaks to starboard, and Mendak suggests that Picard leave. Picard states flatly that he will take any action necessary to rescue the ambassador, as she is a Federation citizen. Data muses in voiceover his analogy of this event to a game of poker, and suggests that the captain is calling Mendak's bluff.
Mendak relents stating he is not ready to start a war today, and signals to his right, revealing Ambassador T'Pel, now dressed in a Romulan uniform with the traditional Romulan bowl cut. She identifies herself as Sub-commander Selok, a spy, and thanks Picard for his help in getting home. Mendak notes that as there are no Federation citizens on his ship, he informs Picard that the game is over and expects them to leave peacefully before closing the channel; Worf reports three more Warbirds entering the sector on long-range sensors. The Romulans have scored a point on Starfleet today. Riker quietly sums up the situation as "Some days you get the bear, and some days the bear gets you." Picard orders a reverse course back into Federation territory at warp 6.
Keiko is in the arboretum as Data approaches with an apology for interfering in her plans. She informs him that it would be best if he got dressed for the wedding, leaving Data confused as she hands him a white carnation for the "father of the bride."
The wedding takes place in Ten Forward. Traditional Japanese-sounding flute and string music plays, and Captain Picard officiates, stating the privilege of ship captains to perform weddings. Data voices over in his personal log how he still does not comprehend most of the emotions of violence, anger, or revenge but that he does understand the desire to be loved and the need for friendship. The wedding commences with a now-skillful Data leading the bride in a dance.
Back in duty uniform, Data looks for Dr. Crusher in sickbay and comes across Picard. The captain has dropped by the nursery after the wedding to see Lt. Juarez' baby boy, cooing softly in a crib. Noting that the child was born at the same time they were facing destruction, Picard welcomes him aboard.
Finally, Data leads his night watch team onto the bridge. Worf reports that all systems are normal, they are on course for Adelphous IV, engineering is realigning the main deflector dish, sickbay reports that Lt. Umbato broke two ribs on the holodeck, and sensors continue to gather long-range information on the Murasaki quasar. Data's final voiceover expresses his belief that being Human is a way of thinking, acting, and feeling, and that he may one day discover his own Humanity; he also states that he – until that time comes – will continue to learn, change, grow, and try to become more than what he is. The lights dim as the bridge's night watch commences.

Background information Edit
Production history Edit
- Final draft script: 10 October 1990 [1]
- Second unit and insert shots filmed: 7 December 1990
- Premiere airdate: 7 January 1991
- First UK airdate: 15 June 1994
Story and production Edit
- The idea of doing a "day in the life" plot was first pitched by Harold Apter during the third season. Various viewpoints were considered, including Picard's and that of the ship itself. According to Ronald D. Moore, Data's viewpoint was finally chosen, "because he's the only one who's up 24 hours a day". However, Michael Piller and Rick Berman insisted that at least one plot arc should run through the story, and the Romulan spy intrigue was created. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion)
- The writing staff had considered a shipboard marriage for some time before the development of this episode. Michael Piller had at one point suggested marrying Picard. Another idea was to marry O'Brien to the female conn officer intended to replace Wesley. Regarding the latter, Piller explained, "I was against that because I felt that O'Brien was too good a character and potential benefit to the show to make him another star's supporting character. I felt he would always sort of be a sounding board for someone else to talk to and I didn't want to waste him on that. So we never did get around to replacing Wesley and O'Brien emerged on his own." (Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages)
- Gates McFadden and Brent Spiner did their own dancing in this episode, except for the overhead shots where Spiner requested a double, as he did not feel confident enough to pull it off. McFadden did the choreography, as she was a well-known Hollywood choreographer long before Next Generation. According to director Robert Wiemer, McFadden and Spiner also developed the lines in the scene, which were later accepted by the scriptwriters. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion)
- Second Unit and insert shots for this episode were filmed on Friday, 7 December 1990 on Paramount Stage 8 and 9 including the scenes of William Glover.
Continuity Edit
- The running narration of this episode is a log entry recorded by Data for Commander Bruce Maddox, who wished to disassemble Data in a risky procedure to experiment on him in TNG: "The Measure Of A Man". After the trial on his right to choose, Data remained open to future collaboration, told Maddox to continue his work and said that he found some of what he proposed "intriguing." His reference to Maddox' "most recent letter" suggests that he and Data have had a continuing correspondence.
- This was the first appearance of Rosalind Chao as Keiko; her first and last as Keiko Ishikawa, and her first as Keiko O'Brien. She makes several more appearances in TNG, before becoming a regular recurring character in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. This episode also depicts her marriage to Miles. It is also revealed that it was Data who introduced the two.
- Picard's actions in this episode would be mentioned ten episodes later in "The Drumhead", twisted into near-treason by witch-hunting Admiral Norah Satie.
- This was also the first appearance of Data's cat, Spot.
- There is an insect seen crawling in Spot's food. Also, when Data replicates the food there appears to be barely more than a spoonful in the dish, yet when he puts it down seconds later, the dish is more than half full.
- When Data is speaking to Troi about marriage, a house fly is seen buzzing around his head.
- This was the first appearance of several locations aboard the Enterprise-D including the arboretum, the barbershop, the nursery, and the replicating center.
- V'Sal, the barber, first appeared in this episode. As his name was not stated in dialogue, the Star Trek Encyclopedia (? ed., p. ?) actually assumed that he, and another Bolian barber featured in later episodes, Mr. Mot, were in fact the same person.
- The device used by V'Sal's Human colleague to dye the alien officer's elaborate hair is usually seen as an engineering tool.
- The replicating center is a partial redress of the bridge of the USS Enterprise as seen in the first three movies.
- Data mentions that this episode takes place during "a celebration of the Hindu Festival of Lights", one of the few references to actual, non-fictional religions in Star Trek. This would suggest (but not confirm) a date of October 24th, since the festival would fall on that date in 2367. Also, according to Data, the Enterprise was commissioned exactly 1,550 days (about four years, three months) prior. Taking the October date into account, this would suggest the Enterprise was commissioned July 27th, 2363. However, this is contradictory with the commissioning date of "4 October 2363" in the Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual If the wedding date is taken to be 1,550 days after the date of commission in the Technical Manual, then the wedding actually occurs January 1st of 2368.
- As an homage, Picard's wedding remarks are almost the same as those which Kirk uses in the teaser for TOS: "Balance of Terror", an episode also involving the Romulans. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion)
- In turn, Picard's comments would be used as the basis for the wedding in the Deep Space Nine episode "'Til Death Do Us Part". (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- By contrast, however, Benjamin Sisko officiates the wedding of Rom and Leeta in the Bajoran language, as he is acting in his capacity as Emissary of the Prophets, rather than as a Starfleet captain. ("Call to Arms")
- Picard mentions, as Kirk had, that ship captains "since the days of wooden sailing ships" as having the ability to legally marry couples. This authority, however, was limited in many Terran navies. The captain also had to be a notary public or other recognized source. Some countries included a notary public license with the ship's masters certificates which would allow captains to marry people on board.
- The appearance of the pads on the transporter platform is inconsistent throughout this episode. In some scenes, the border lines around each pad are more pronounced than they are during others. This is because the set was being redressed for use in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. The thicker black border lines seen in that film were kept in for the rest of the series.
- This episode marks the first night watch seen on screen, although it does explain the difference in bridge lighting in several previous episodes.
- A passing shot of the Enterprise immediately prior to the wedding scene appears to use the same passes of the ship as "Encounter at Farpoint", though with the Excelsior elements removed.
Reception Edit
- A mission report for this episode by Patrick Daniel O'Neill was published in The Official Star Trek: The Next Generation Magazine issue 15, pp. 60-62.

I would like to get more knowledge around RFID-systems auditing.
Does anyone have a basic guide step-by-step which I can use to set up a lab with proper RFID "sniffing" equipment?
I would like to know:
- What equipment I need and where to get it (ebay and so on)
- What software I need and where to get it (websites, books and so on)
The reason for this RFID auditing is that I'm getting more and more paranoid about all the chips in my home, car and wallet. I would like to look into them, and see what they are all about.

|Short review: I though this internet-site offered great quality! Beyond the high quality original photos and vids, they had real live chat where you can meet up with other black and hispanic guys who are waiting to chat with you! You can watch them live on cam and to sex talk with them it doesn't monetary value any extra! It was actually awesome to see a chatroom that was actually populated for once! Plus they offer escorts with their top-models and lots of exclusive shopping and other items.

A hard truth about being Baltimore's mayor is that there is almost never a good time to declare progress. Whenever there is good news to report, it will almost inevitably collide with a fresh tragedy.
That's what happened to Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake this week, when she pointed to the city's success in drawing crowds to a series of major public events downtown — despite warnings this spring from a pair of Baltimore County lawmakers that people should stay away in the wake of high-profile incidents of violence. Unfortunately, her remarks came a day after a National Institutes of Health researcher was killed in a seemingly random crime in a neighborhood not known for violence; a few weeks after 16 people were shot and six killed in one weekend; and at a time when homicides are slightly ahead of last year's pace.
For a mayor, there is a fine line between trumpeting the kind of genuine progress that makes Baltimore a more desirable place for people to live and appearing to stick your head in the sand to deny the fact that the city remains one of America's most violent. Ms. Rawlings-Blake's remarks strike an even more sensitive chord because they resurrect an old complaint about whether City Hall pays too much attention to tourist areas like the Inner Harbor and not enough to the neighborhoods where most Baltimoreans live. To wit: Those 16 people were shot at the same time that Baltimore police were keeping downtown safe for spectators of the Grand Prix.
It's worth remembering what prompted the mayor's comments. Reports this spring of a mass disturbance downtown on St. Patrick's Day — including a widely viewed video of a man getting beaten up near the courthouse — prompted Del. Patrick McDonough, a Republican who represents Baltimore and Harford counties, to warn of "roving mobs of black youth." He declared the Inner Harbor a "no-travel zone" and urged the governor to send out the National Guard. After other disturbing, if smaller, incidents, Sen. James Brochin, a Baltimore County Democrat, said the mayor should "do the right thing and call the governor, admit you're overwhelmed and ask for help."
In fact, hundreds of thousands of people from throughout the region did go downtown this summer — for Artscape, Sailabration and the Grand Prix, among other events — all without a major incident. That didn't happen by accident. The Baltimore police made a targeted redeployment of officers and conducted sweeps — as they typically do in the summer — to make sure that the youth violence of the spring didn't continue.
The police can't ignore the rest of the city just to keep the Inner Harbor safe — and they didn't — but it's also a fallacy to claim there is no connection between what happens in the neighborhoods and what happens downtown, as some of the mayor's recent critics have done. Tourism is vitally important to the city's economy.
The mayor's decision to mention the success of this summer's big events is not a matter of her seeking credit or ignoring Baltimore's other problems but instead an attempt to counteract some very damaging negative publicity the city faced.
That said, every murder, shooting, robbery and assault in this city is a tragedy, and no matter how much crime has dropped under this mayor and her recent predecessors, it still takes a terrible toll. As Greater Baltimore Committee President Donald Fry astutely pointed out in a recent commentary, Baltimore's historic reductions in homicides in the last few years have allowed it to drop out of the top five deadliest American cities — to No. 6.
Ms. Rawlings-Blake's critics would be right to call her callous if she was denying that fact or pretending that crime in the neighborhoods beyond the Inner Harbor doesn't matter. But she isn't. The timing of her remarks this week may have raised eyebrows, but more important is the substance of her public safety policy. Her biggest decision so far in that regard has been to hire as police commissioner Anthony Batts, an officer with a reputation for building the ties between the police and the community that are necessary to effectively fight crime. His predecessor, Frederick H. Bealefeld III, made important strides in that direction, but the department needs to go further. If Mr. Batts can do that, no one will be able to question whether the mayor deserves to declare success.

You've got to hand it to Steve Kelley. The former KOA Radio and Fox-31 personality isn't afraid to take a chance for charity.
He has pushed a peanut — with his nose — down the 16th Street Mall and sat in every seat in the old Mile High Stadium. Most recently, he stapped on a pair of fire-engine-red high heels to participate in the Stiletto Strut, an all-male competition that's part of a benefit for Glory Community.
From Stetsons To Stilettos, chaired by Sandy Hembd, raised money for the continued operation of this private, nonprofit residential center that serves 50 adults with developmental disabilities. Hembd and her husband, Jim, started Glory Community following the 1968 birth of their twin sons, Mike and Mark. The boys were born with Down syndrome.
And it was Mike who startled his parents by becoming the high bidder on a brunch date with Crystal Egger, offering $1,100 for the package donated by the "Weather Fox" on Fox-31's "Good Day Colorado." Egger was mistress of ceremonies for From Stetsons To Stilettos, and will be giving Mike a tour of the studio before going off to brunch at Jax.
"He only makes minimum wage," Sandy Hembd sighed. "It'll take him six months to pay it off."
The Broomfield-based Glory Community is in the process of expanding into a network of residential homes and business enterprises geared to adults with developmental challenges. Actress Susan St. James is among those who have endorsed it.

rshvartzapel necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 51 diseños de 21 diseñadores freelance.
Looking for a logo with a design/studio feel for a wholesale pastry business which specializes in very high end laminated products. (i.e. croissants, danish, puff pastry)
Laminoir or Laminoir Cuisine
I would like a logo which can be easily branded. I have no issues if there is no "logo" per se but just an interesting play on the word Laminoir or Laminoir Cuisine. I need to see a play on both possibilities. I spent quite some time working for very high end patisseries and my products are testament to my experiences. For a point of reference of what I envision or what I like feel free to view pierreherme.com, laduree.fr, fauchon.com, balthazarbakery.com/wholesale/. A laminated product is one in which a fat layer (i.e. butter) is folded into a dough layer and refolded many times to create 100's if not 1000's of layer and in turn creates something light, airy, flaky and crisp. My business only focuses on these type of products.
I need a vector logo for use on website and business cards. Should have a "design studio" feel. I want logos that can be used on dark backgrounds (website) and light/white backgrounds (business cards & invoices). You can show 2 different versions of the same logo, it doesn't have to be one set logo that works on both.
Nothing incredibly busy or fussy. No actual pastry in the design.

Police seek ID of man who exploited 82-year-old
Man, 2nd person exploited woman of $8,500
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Police in Jacksonville are trying to identify a man who exploited an 82-year-old woman.
Police said the woman was at her home when two people came to her door. They knew her name and address.
One of them presented a badge and requested that she assist them in an effort to combat identity theft by taking them to a bank and withdrawing a certain amount of money, police said. They told her that in appreciation for her efforts, she would receive a $1,000 reward.
The two people drove her in their car to a VyStar Credit Union on Beach Boulevard. The man in a surveillance photo provided by police walked into the bank with the victim for the withdrawals from a checking and savings account.
The victim said that the money was put into two envelopes and somehow the exploiters gained control of the envelopes, swapped the money for paper clippings, and returned the envelopes to the victim. The victim was told that they would return later that night to give her the reward, police said. They said she did not notice the money was gone until later in the day.
The victim's total loss was $8,500.
Channel 4's Crime Analyst, Ken Jefferson said there were a few things that happened to this victim that can act as lessons to other potential victims.
"The thing to remember is, if you're not expecting anyone at your house, don't answer the door. That' the first rule of thumb, but most elderly people will get up and answer the door," said Jefferson. "A badge in the hand being presented to you at the door is very compelling. However, you can always call the bank to verify if there's an investigation with your account or if there's a rep from the bank at your house. There's always ways you can find out if these persons are legitimate."
Anyone with any information in regards to the man's identity is asked to call the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office at 904-630-0500 or Crime Stoppers at 866-845-TIPS.

I got word that I was to start working at Stanford in Mid-June with just under a month to make the move. Less than an hour after I had booked a round trip ticket from SLC to Birmingham, I had decided I would instead drive Walden to Birmingham for long term storage. When I booked the ticket, it said that since I had booked it less than 24 hours before the departure, it could not be changed. No problem, I thought. I would just forfeit the first leg, drive to Birmingham, and fly back on return ticket.
A few days later, I logged in to Delta's site to test a tweak I had done to the configuration of my password management program. I noticed that under a section heading entitled "Upcoming Trips" was the word "none."
Oh. They canceled my ticket.
Now I can only assume that I thought that I was in some parallel universe in which anything about how airline tickets are priced and sold made any sense at all. Of course not taking an outgoing flight means that the return flight is also canceled. I suppose I just wished I lived in an world in which I would not have to talk to anyone about plane tickets. I get tired just thinking of the number of times I have booked a ticket in the wrong month, or the wrong airport, or something else.
A couple days later, I called my friends at Delta. Yes. They had canceled my ticket. No, I could not use just the return flight. It was a Rewards Ticket and they do not allow you to book one-way tickets using Reward miles. She would have to check with her supervisor, but she was suggesting that my best option, if were to be approved, would be to pay a $150 change fee to re-book the EXACT SAME TICKET because the price of the one-way ticket from BHM to SLC was over $600.
In the end, it got better than that. The supervisor must have been in a good mood or something, because they just pretended that I had not booked the ticket at all. My miles were refunded. It would take a day or so for them to post back to my account, and after that I could try again to book a ticket. I was relieved. If I had booked a round trip from SLC to BHM only 24 hours in advance, I could probably do the same with my trip from Birmingham with a week's notice.
No problem. The next day I logged in to delta.com. My miles had been returned to my account. Better still, I found a flight that would require only 25,000 miles of the 37,500 that had just been returned to me. Sure, to satisfy Delta's requirements I had to book a round trip ticket, but I booked the return almost a year later. Surely by then they would have forgotten about the no-one-way-reward-tickets policy. Seriously, Delta, how is not taking the first flight of a trip that different from not taking the return flight? And if I can simply "forget" to take the return flight, how is that different from a one-way ticket? Would it not be better to know that I was not going to take the flight so that the ticket would be available to sell to someone else? The decision-making of airlines is mysterious.
So I did it. I re-booked my flight for fewer miles than my original ticket. Life was good.
I saw an email in my mailbox about my ticket being booked. I did not read it. The next day, I got another email, saying that since I had not booked the ticket that I had reserved, the ticket was canceled. I somehow failed to complete the process required for booking a ticket.
It was déjà vu all over again. This time, the flight that cost 25,000 miles I had previously booked was gone. The good news was that I managed to book a ticket that was actually more convenient. The bad news was that it cost the same 37,500 miles as my original ticket. Untold hours and wailing and gnashing of teeth after I had started the process, I was back where I had started.

5 Revolting Facets Of American Culture

My latest PJ Media columns is called, 5 Revolting Facets Of American Culture. Here's an excerpt from the column,
1) An elevation of victimhood
In a weird reversal of how the world has worked since man was raised up out of the dust, it has become good to be a victim in America. In fact, many of the people held up as "victims" in our country are loving every second of their "victimhood."
The best recent example of that phenomenon is Sandra Fluke. Here's an unaccomplished 30 year old student who went to Congress and demanded that other people be forced to pay thousands of dollars a year to subsidize her birth control. It's like the set-up of a stand-up comedian's joke, except that when people responded with the natural punch lines which featured lots of "She's a slut" jokes, Sandra Fluke was treated like a victim. Next thing you know, she's on TV, she's treated like a heroine, she gets a speaking slot at the Democratic Convention. For a 5th rate mediocrity like Sandra Fluke, her supposed "victimhood" was the best thing that ever happened to her.
Trending: The 15 Best Conservative News Sites On The Internet
Then there's bus monitor Karen Klein. People felt sorry for the nice old lady who was bullied by kids on a bus – so much so that they chipped in more than a half million dollars to help her out. However, this was an adult whose job was to keep kids from being bullied. How many kids on that bus must have been abused because she was so completely unsuited to the job she willingly chose to take on? At the end of the day, she wasn't a "victim" in any meaningful sense; she was just a failure at her job.
Does treating people like this as heroes strike anyone as healthy or good for the country? At best, victims should be pitied, not celebrated or rewarded.
Once again, you can read it all here.

Open letter from Eduard Irimia about the confusion between SUPERKOMBAT and K-1
In quality of SUPERKOMBAT® President, I have to make a clear statement regarding the partnership of our promotion with the new K-1 owners and their plans.
"As we announced in August last year, SUPERKOMBAT® had the chance to support with all efforts, that K-1 will rise back as all of us expected to happen. At that moment we made our agreement with Mr. Douglas Kaplan what was in charge for all operation around K-1 activity. He respected all the agreements and we had a good change of experience in Los Angeles and prepared a plan for the K-1 World GP 2012 Final 16 event where fought mostly of SUPERKOMBAT® champions.
Meanwhile, Mr. Douglas Kaplan was replaced from this position before the Tokyo event and we started to communicate with Mr. Gunil Kim who made a good impression to us that he would do all to touch the target of bringing back the brand as old days. In Tokyo, I proposed to Mr. Gunil Kim to have the K-1 World GP 2012 Final in Abu Dhabi where I had the connection with top businessmen ready to bring the event in December, presented in association with SUPERKOMBAT® as we had the date live on Eurosport.
My idea was to have a good exposure on free TV that could attract the attention of the media and not to use the Pay-Per-View system as the main priority. There the local companies were ready to support the event but Mr. Gunil Kim asked the full budget and he did not want to support financial and he expected to get everything from the local market. That way my connection refused the project and as I knew that New York event was cancelled, I supposed to do something as we promised to help them.
So, the only thing I could do it was to use our SUPERKOMBAT® World GP 2012 Final on December 22 as a join venture event where I expected to get some support as all the fighters from K-1 got a 3 fights deal until the end of the year and K-1 provided only one. And fighters as Ismael Londt, Catalin Morosanu, Raul Catinas, Sergei Lascenko, Hesdy Gerges, Zabit Zamedov, Benjamin Adegbuyi, Ben Edwards or Paul Slowinsky complained for that and I tried to bring all of them in our Final Elimination and Final events, and for the most of them we did.
As nothing happened beside that we could use the K-1 logo, I invited Mr. Gunil Kim in January in Bucharest to propose him a plan of making the K-1 at least to be exposed on TV with a good production standard as long as he supposed to support financial involvement some big names in our card.
Next day after we met, he proposed me to make a deal with K-1 and to be named as the Executive Producer of the K-1 Heavyweight Division and also all my team from SUPERKOMBAT®, including our Public Relations Manager and our Visual Communications Manager to be involved in the new project.
I accepted the part of the proposal and I told him that I prefer to be SUPERKOMBAT® leader and we could make a deal for long term but also to protect our brand where we worked hard in the last years. At the end, we signed a deal where SUPERKOMBAT® was supposed to make the World Tryouts series for the Heavyweight Division and also that all our World Grand Prix events will become selection for the Final 16 heavyweight event. Next days we started our project and even announced in a press conference, but since nothing happened from K-1 and even they canceled many things that we agreed.
As I tried to ask Mr. Gunil Kim what is happening, the only answer I got it was that his people specialized in marketing advice him to cancel the connection in touch with the SUPERKOMBAT® brand as we looked better in the media and we could cannibalize the brand!
What is true is that many fans made the confusion between our brands and as we move fast, our fans promoted our action worldwide and in the same time K-1 made a lot of mistakes.
We decided not to make anything public as the K-1 World GP 2012 Final promoted in Zagreb with Fight Channel was close and we did not want to affect the fighters before that, but now we are forced to announce that SUPERKOMBAT® has nothing to do as promotion in any way with K-1 and the only collaboration is between some fighters and their managers as they are engaged in some fight agreements.
Also as a very loyal to the K-1 brand in the last years, I did not want to make noise around, but unfortunately in the last month there were many visible mistakes and we don't want to be associated with the failure of others.
We are sure that the last year collaboration helped us too but we don't accept that our evolution is because of K-1 as long as we supported them in the last year.
For me, the dream that K-1 will be back as old times is not any more trough the K-1 logo, we will do the best slowly and responsible work to happen trough our work or to cooperate with other promotion with the same goal.
With the respect to all the worldwide media and fans we will continue our young project to create new heroes and to provide good events in direct proportion with the budget, if we will be lucky to get investors as others got, for sure we could touch the target.
Sincerely yours,
Eduard Irimia
SUPERKOMBAT® President"

Obama's lead over Romney in Colorado shrinks
The latest poll from left-leaning PPP polling shows President Barack Obama with a 49-42 lead over Mitt Romney in Colorado.
These results represent a closing of the gap between Obama and Romney in the 2012 presidential contest, with the last PPP poll showing the president with a much wider lead of 53-40.
According to a story in The Hill:
Romney's favorability rating has increased markedly since becoming the party's presumptive nominee, although he's still viewed negatively by a majority of Colorado voters. Forty percent said they have a favorable view of Romney, compared to 52 unfavorable. Still, that's up from 31 favorable and 60 unfavorable in April.
An interesting observation made in the PPP analysis has to do with Hispanic support for Obama. Pollsters say Obama is doing better with this group than he had previously — and this poll was conducted before the recent announcement of a change in immigration policy.
Obama is leading with Hispanics 60-33, whereas his previous numbers were 53-38. However, his numbers with white voters are down. He is leading 47-45, while his April poll numbers showed him with a 52-41 advantage.
These are probably illustrative of many peaks and valleys in polling we'll see over the next four and a half months as attack ads hit the state and the candidates swing through, issuing sharp criticisms of their opponents. Buckle your seat belts. It's going to be a rough ride.

Can we go about our business in the blogosphere, and never have to engage in debate or self-defense? Can we champion an idea or technology, and expect to have smooth sailing, with no opposition?
Is it cowardly to "shut down comments" on a conversation thread, just because someone is emotionally upset and thinks the debate has "gone on long enough", which usually means they're losing the argument and afraid of looking bad?
Online communities will always have a self-deconstructing aspect, since the association of members is voluntary and democratic, not to mention the fact that users who generate content and conversation are typically far more passionate, combative, and opinionated.
Jacques Derrida has observed the double, paradoxical nature of community.
"There is no opposition, fundamentally, between 'social bond' and 'social unraveling'. A certain interruptive unraveling is the condition of the 'social bond', the very respiration of all 'community'. This is not even the knot of reciprocal condition, but rather the possibility that every knot can come undone, be cut or interrupted." --
Faith and Knowledge, Acts of Religion (Routledge, 2002), p.99.
To join a community, we necessarily (albeit temporarily) sever one tie (to isolated loneliness, to family, to watching TV, to neighbors) to tie a loose knot with strings that connect us to some otherness (a club, church, school, blog, wiki, discussion list, user forum).
Thus, we may contribute heavily to one online community, then dissolve our relationship to it due to shifting interests, decline in quality, or in an extreme case, because of the debate overheating. We tire of endless arguments, flames, and personal attacks. Or we say something too controversial, too contrarian, and get banned from the community.
When we see blogocombat coming toward us, what is the sign that it holds, drawing attention to itself as contrary opinion, disagreement, anger, or hate?
Since we generally cannot see the facial expressions or body language of online members, we must develop our skills in interpreting vocabulary nuances and semantic cues as to what is "intended", "implied", or "felt". We acquire this finesse by participating in various online collaborations and conversations.
An online enemy will use extremely judgmental and hostile words to refer to you, your product, your philosophy, your faith, or your zeal. A disparaging tone, a sneer, an ugly misrepresentation, a wild accusation, an unsavory indecency.
You begin to develop the ability to sense it. Like you can sense that a blog comment is compensated opinion, a boilerplate comment that a company is paying the "buzz agent" to post. Or a spambot deposit. You can become extremely sensitive to the spirit of online remarks, simply by practicing online debate.
"But if we meet opposition with harsh replies, aren't we lowering ourselves to a vulgar, retaliatory, unprofessional level?" some will ask.
Often it really is best to just ignore attacks. A fly lands on your nose, you brush it off. You don't go on a rampage of negativity regarding flies, and you don't vow to destroy every fly on earth. You just brush it off, and move on. This is generally the best and most effective method of blogocombat.
You don't give the attacker the pleasure of engaging you in a frivolous, spurious battle. You choose what battles to fight, and what battles to walk away from.
Then again, sometimes you must stand your ground and fight back, and to avoid confronting the situation just makes matters worse. Cowardice emboldens the attacker, you appear like a masochistic chump who enjoys being subjected to disrespect. Abusers seek such victims.
Diplomacy is one response. Ignoring it is another. Saying something funny often defuses an explosive situation. Another valid and useful method is combat, in some form or other. Even if it's just one statement to set the record straight.
We must avoid a paranoid Us vs. Them siege mentality. It's not good to want to fight just for the sake of the excitement of fighting and the notoriety of fighters. That's known as trolling. But we must also steer clear of a cowardly avoidance of confrontation.
You can spot a coward easily, he's the one slinking away with a La La Land smile on his face, saying, as he sticks his head back into the sand, "I wouldn't worry about that. I'm sure everything will be fine."
Yeah, right. "All evil needs to succeed is for good people to do nothing."
You may find it appropriate to respond with an aggressive tone, and confrontational terminology, when an attack upon your company seems unfair, unprovoked, and destructive in nature.
Sometimes an "enemy" or an opposition comes toward you, without just cause, and you did not create this adversary. It arises on its own. Perhaps you said something that hits close to home, your remarks are considered a threat or a disruption, so the offended person strikes back.
Self-control, maturity, professionalism, introspective insight, and prioritizing ones activities all help guide us to appropriate reactions to things we see posted on the web. The blogosphere is about vigorous debate, and may the best ideas win.
Blogocombat, or online debate, or vigorous inquiry, is ideally text vs. text, and not person vs. person. This is the key to all defensive and offensive maneuvers in blogs, bulletin boards, discussion lists, user forums, wikis, and other digital venues.
You must pit one idea against another idea. Notice I did not say "pit your idea against their idea". You don't "own" any idea or belief or feeling. You simply borrow or submit to them.
Vigorous inquiry and impassioned discussion cannot be personalized, for a personal attack destroys the entire conversation, must be reproached and possibly removed.
Personal feelings ruin any debate.
Zeal for an idea? Yes. Zeal to destroy another person? No.
Zeal to protect oneself from mere clusters of typed nonsense? Don't be ridiculous.
Zeal to prove something at any cost, even of boring everybody by beating the issue to death? I wish you wouldn't. Spare us, life is already boring enough, it doesn't need any help from you.
Personalizing a debate makes it bestial, savage, unseemly.
It's the ideas that matter, not who's right and who's wrong, who's smart and who's stupid. Only the truth, the facts, the actual reality is important.
As we boldly speak our minds, we must remember that a hateful personal attack can be criminal libel, subject to prosecution in a court of law. In such cases, handing the matter over to your attorney can the best blogocombat move of all.

On This Day...
August 8, 1775, Morgan and Virginians arrive in Cambridge. In 1775, Captain Daniel Morgan and his Virginia riflemen arrive in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Earlier, Morgan had earned the nickname "The Old Waggoneer" from a young George Washington during the Seven Years' War in 1755, when he removed the wounded from the site of the disastrous Battle of the Wilderness in his wagon.
Morgan continued to lead the Virginia militia between the Seven Years' War and the outbreak of rebellion in New England at the Battle of Lexington and Concord in 1775. When New England Patriots laid siege to British-occupied Boston in 1775, the Continental Congress requested that other colonies send men to aid in the effort. Virginia's House of Burgesses selected Morgan to recruit and lead one of the colony's two rifle companies.
Morgan needed only 10 days to assemble 96 men and only 21 days to march them to Massachusetts, where he would serve under his old compatriot, the newly appointed commander in chief of the Continental Army, General George Washington. Fighting under Washington, Morgan's men's extraordinary skill as snipers earned them the nickname "Morgan's Sharpshooters." Later, Morgan led the three companies from Boston to the failed invasion of Canada, resulting in Morgan's spending a year as a prisoner of war but also earning him a promotion to colonel.
Upon his release, Colonel Morgan was placed in charge of creating the 11th Virginia Regiment, which he would command. His test for potential riflemen was reputed to be simple: they had to hit a broadside print of a British officer of King George from 100 yards away at their first attempt.
Morgan earned Washington's further respect with a stunning victory at Cowpens, South Carolina, in 1781. In 1794, when President Washington was faced with the need to suppress the Whiskey Rebellion in western Pennsylvania, which threatened to shatter the still fragile Union, he called on Daniel Morgan yet again. In this, his last military command, Morgan managed to assemble such an overwhelming force that he put down the rebellion without firing a single shot.

The Bryan Fischer Award is given to those who engage in massive psychological projection and do I have a doozy this time. Glenn Beck is actually going after Alex Jones, calling him a crazy conspiracy theorist and claiming that his appearance on the Piers Morgan show was part of a conspiracy to make conservatives look bad.
Beck and his co-hosts actually called Alex Jones "psycho" because he sees "a conspiracy around every corner…and if you disagree with him, you don't just disagree, you're in on it, to him and his minions." Beck talks about how people come up to him and tell him he should read someone on infowars.com and he tells them to "stay away from that site" because anything on that site is "most likely not true." Beck further says that "you have to be careful of who you get your news from" because "their agenda makes a difference." Oh, and he was only on the show to make conservatives look bad:
Want to know who the media wants to make the face of the pro-gun argument in America? Look no further than conspiratorial radio host Alex Jones, best known for his 9/11 Truther theories and his love of Charlie Sheen's hernia. Jones is the man behind the petition to deport CNN host Piers Morgan for his views on gun control. Morgan invited Jones onto his show to debate the gun issue yesterday, and not surprisingly, Jones made a fool of himself, giving the left the perfect poster boy for their attempts to paint every logical conservative as an extremist nut job.
Seriously. This is from the guy who spends hours at his blackboard drawing conspiritorial connections between everyone and everything. This is the guy who thinks that empathy leads to the second coming of Adolf Hitler. This is the guy who walks around Manhattan and finds symbols everywhere to confirm his loopy theories about progressivism leading to communism and fascism. This is the guy who thinks George Soros and Saul Alinsky are behind every bad thing that has happened in the last 50 years. And he's warning his credulous followers about Alex Jones. Wow.
