So, if I stick with the Star Trek theme, I should say something like “Beam me up-chuck, Scotty”.

Ok. How about, “Don’t barf me, bro!”

Flashlight Weapon Makes Targets Throw Up

The handheld device using light-emitting diodes to emit super-bright pulses of light at rapidly changing wavelengths, causing disorientation, nausea and even vomiting in whomever it’s pointed at.

“There’s one wavelength that gets everybody,” says IOS President Bob Lieberman. “Vlad [IOS top scientist Vladimir Rubtsov] calls it ‘the evil color.’”

U.S. Army soldiers will be the recipients of enhanced night vision goggles that use digital imagery to improve mobility and situational awareness under all lighting conditions, overcoming battlefield obscurants that would generally hinder vision. Under development by BAE systems as part of the Enhanced Night Vision Goggle program for the U.S. defense forces the helmet-mounted system will digitally combine video imagery from a low-light-level visible sensor and an uncooled long-wave infrared sensor onto a single color display located in front of the soldier’s eye.

This digital technology will provide improved image quality and will enable imagery to be shared among soldiers. The enhanced capabilities will assist in battle tasks such as shooting around corners, reading maps, performing lifesaving duties and aiming lasers more effectively. BAE Systems will incorporate its uncooled MicroIR microbolometer sensor technology which is currently used in thermal weapon sights.

“This program will demonstrate the maturity and effectiveness of digital fusion technology and its benefit to the warfighter,” said Margaret Kohin, Advanced Systems program director for BAE Systems in Lexington, Massachusetts. “Applying innovative technology to help our soldiers complete their missions is an objective BAE systems stands behind every day.”

“the greatest campaign finance scandal in American history”

Now that this phrase has been published by a respected member of the MSM, and, as such, is now in the LexusNexis search database, it seems appropriate to associate that phrase with the person to whom it refers: Hillary Rodham Clinton.

I received a ping from FReeper “Spirit of Allegiance” this morning which pointed to an article which featured our pal, “Dougfromupland.”

The article was in the San Francisco Chronicle’s on line edition. Here is the introductory paragraph of the article about “the greatest campaign finance scandal in American history.”

In his other life, Douglas Cogan, 59, is a San Bernardino County commercial real estate broker. But for years, the conservative Republican has spent thousands of hours painstakingly researching what he calls “the greatest campaign finance scandal in American history” by a woman he calls one of the most dangerous political figures the country has ever seen - Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Since it appears that Google has enabled “google-bombing” again, I thought it might be interesting to get the phrase, “the greatest campaign finance scandal in American history,” permanently associated with Hillary Rodham Clinton. That is the purpose of this post. And, if any of you bloggers out there want to join in, just copy+paste this post at your blog, or pass it along in the comments section of your favorite blogs. The more the merrier. I’m going to track-post it to Linkfests, and post it at FR and Hannity. I’ll also activate every tag I have ever used to associate it with this post. Heh.

It’s called “JKN”, for Jump Knowledge.

I was looking for a quick way to be able to save screenshots of different webpages, and I ran across JKN. Sure, it has a great screenshot system, but it does so much more.

Click the button and go on over to JKN. Register for an account — it’s free! Trust me, you’ll love it.

Here is an example of a screenshot that I saved from my old blog over on Blogger™, you know, the one that Google mysteriously lost. So, even though Google says it never existed, I have proof that it did. Of course that doesn’t do too much to fill the hole in my archives.

Interesting post over at gizmag…….still awaiting information on release dates and pricing. But, this should be a hot item. I wonder if it will make it in time for holiday gift-giving (and receiving)?

The Micoder is a simple device that converts audio CDs into MP3 format and transfers the music-files directly to an MP3 player or USB mass storage device. You can have a CD fully transferred to an MP3 player within 5-7 minutes, without the use of a computer, and without any technical knowledge whatsoever.

Usage is simple: connect a player to the Micoder’s USB port, insert an audio CD, press “ENTER” and within minutes, the tunes are ripped and sent to the MP3 player.
