Captain Kirk’s Guide to Women (Star Trek) (Paperback)

The Legendary Men Of Romance — Casanova, Don Juan, James Bond, move over because only one man can teach us how get every woman we want, even if it’s anywhere on the planet or the whole freaking universe.

“one man can boast that his seductive powers take him boldly where no man has gone before: James T. Kirk.”

Captain Kirk’s status as an interstellar stud is proven by his ability to seduce any woman, in any situation, in any part of the galaxy. From high-society princesses to unbalanced Orion slave girls, from gender-switching shape-shifters to emotion-deprived androids — they all swoon, acquiesce, and malfunction from just one kiss.

Geeky boys and fan boys will definitely enjoy this stellar find as we prepare ourselves to be educated to be the geeky interstellar stud muffin that we are.

Captain Kirk’s Guide to Women is the first book to answer this question by probing deeply into Kirk’s character, charisma, and seductive techniques, making it possible for any man to model himself after the Casanova of the Cosmos. It is also the only warp-powered romance manual written with enough wit, charm, and humor to help the female of the species make first contact.

In the early part of August, NTT Communications announced that their acquisition of a European company, Secode AB.  This company has established a name for itself in northern Europe in particular.  Secode AB specializes in the area of managed-security and security-consulting services.  It provides these services to financial institutions – both in the public and private sectors – in Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden.  With this development, Secode AB will continue to offer its services – with a plus.

The resources of NTT Communications will now be behind Secode AB, which has become a totally owned subsidiary.  More so, the subsidiary will be able to expand its operations as it will now be absorbed by other NTT-owned centers in other parts of the world, namely, Japan, Germany, Singapore, and the US. Some of the services that will continue to be offered are:

• Intrusion detection
• Intrusion prevention
• Log management
• Vulnerability analysis
• Data-loss prevention
• Anti-virus
• Anti-spam
• Managed VPN/firewall
• Mobile security.

With this acquisition, the real winners are the entities that will be benefiting from the combined forces of NTT Communications and Secode AB.  The end result?  Much better data center security for everyone involved.

There are lots and lots of good t-shirt designs out there, one in particular are the designs by Electrolychee as spotted by Aaron Roselo. Those tees are really a head turner and almost everyone would do almost anything to get their hands on those tees especially with the nearing start of the next school season.

Unfortunately the problem stems from there, since everyone wants that same t-shirt chances are, you’d be not the only one who’d wear them in campus or just out in the streets. It’s also a big bummer once you run into another person who wears the exact same shirt you are wearing. In this times of individuality and shameless self promotion, this incident is a definite No-no.

So how do you remedy this? Design and print your own t-shirts!

Here’s a cool video from the Make: Weekend Projects – How to screenprint your t-shirts

The things you need:

Silkscreen with a 1/10 mesh – it’s the most essential part of this project

A good design – A wolf face was used in the video, but in your own project, you could use any design you like or you can think of.

Emulsion – you can get this from your hardware store.

Dark room – okay not the one that’s used in developing photos, but if you have one, cool! If not, the bathroom or the basement with the lights out will do just fine.

Squeegee – you’ll need this tool to evenly apply your paint on the t-shirt

T-shirt – Didn’t I say it was a print-your-own-shirt project? Of course you can print on other stuff like a jacket, bag, door, etc.

Assistance – if you’re not 100% sure of what you’re doing it’s best you ask for help with your brother, sister, family, friend anyone who’d be there to help out in the project.

The steps are easy so go out there and create your own t-shirts!

Mr. Bean drove a Mini. Minis were featured in Austin Powers films, too. And the story of the 1960’s Italian Job and the 2000’s remake revolved around the Mini. The Mini seems to have been a Hollywood favorite, especially with renowned purchases by the stars in the late 1960’s.

The Mini is a small car that was produced by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) and its successors from 1959 to 2000. The most popular British-made car it … is considered an icon of the 1960s, and its space-saving front-wheel-drive layout influenced a generation of car-makers. In the international poll for the award of the world’s most influential car of the twentieth century the Mini came second only to the Ford Model T.

The beauty of the Mini is in its simplicity. It was designed to contain as less parts possible, for easy maintenance. Even the suspension system used compact rubber cones instead of traditional steel springs. Space was maximized, so that even with its diminutive size, you can seat at least four full-size adults.

But what was revolutionary with the Mini is the use of the FF layout–or the front-engine, front-wheel drive layout, which introduced such a layout to a new generation of cars. Most passenger cars today are FF, save for pick up trucks, most SUVs, and large sedans and wagons. The FF layout saved on space, since there is no longer the need to connect the engine to the rear wheels through a transaxle. There is also no need for differentials to be installed on the rear axle. And given the physics of running front wheels on a front-mounted engine, this also saves on fuel consumption.

The Minis also had excellent handling, thanks to the FF layout and the wheels being pushed out to the car’s corners. This gave it an edge in rally racing, and in fact, the Mini has won many a championship in the 1960’s and 1970’s.

The Mini has since been replaced the New MINI, manufactured by BMW. It shares some of the retro aesthetics of the original Mini but is pretty much a whole different car, in terms of size and amenities. It’s no longer the spartan, but fun vehicle the Mini was, but is instead aimed at young upscale consumers. Still, you can see Minis in various states and conditions around, and you cannot help but marvel at how such a simple little automobile represented feats in engineering and had captured the hearts of auto enthusiasts and motorists alike.

Well, it took over six years and about 642 million dollars but the channel bridge over the River Elbe (a river that partially split East and West Germany) has been completed. Basically what you have here is water route engineered to go overtop another river and connect two canals on either side. Previously, boats would have to actually enter the River Elbe to cross from one canal to the next, creating a water intersection. This channel-bridge eliminates that intersection.

Now I wonder how thick the designers of this water bridge had to make the bottom to ensure a long life of no leaks. Double, triple fail-safe? Erosion? Double, triple safe? And what about the boats coming by? What if one of those guys ran into the side? Double, triple safe?

Regardless, the thing is quite cool and even serves a symbolic purpose to signify the re-unification of Germany.

1) They won’t cheat on you with other women.

I would never cheat, unless it was at the “staff party” of girlspoke.

2) They’re easy to find.

They are usually just behind their computer. If you can find that. You can find them.

3) They’re usually into techno dance music.

I hate techno, but I can actually dance when you splash back some scotch into my throat.

4) They’re not into Football.

This gal knows nothing. I love football and Im a geek.

Used to be true. Now I know Im the sexiest beast around.

6) They’re scared of themselves.

This may actually be true. I scare the hell out of myself.

7) They have odd hours.

No joke. I do 12’s, 18’s, and even 24’s and then a few days off. It’s strange. So she’s right.

They can fix your computer for free, and make it run better too.

Yes computer repair in exchange for sexual favors.

The Princess Bride and Labyrinth do these count?

10) They write for Brass Knuckles Webzine.

You can find us geeks at consumating.com
I don’t get paid to tell you that. It’s just a great lil old website.
Craigslist isnt to shabby if you are looking to find someone to stalk you.

First off the things I like about technology and how I wanted to bring that into perspective and apply it with this great design and why I chose the people to get involved in this. First off I’m a very simple person. And I’m not a picky person. I wanted to be easy to get along with. I like the design of simple technology. This design brings that out.

Some toys and gadget that inspire this design.
The Ipod is simple and easy to use and navigate. This design brings out a lot of that simple an easy to use functionality. This design is like no other I’ve seen out there. That was important to me. Also having the big footer at the bottom was important to me because I believe in bringing together all the content from the network so users could navigate on the fly. Much like being able to grab songs that you’ve listened to lately.

Our entire team but especially Chris put a lot of effort into this design, and it’s great to have him onboard to help us reach our goals.
