Paintball plan for this weekend - Sunday, May 28

Here is the plan for this weekend. Paintball is going to be at the Miller Ranch at 5pm on Sunday, May 28.

If you want to come out earlier, let me know. We will be down there early afternoon. After the games, we will be camping out on the property, so let me know if anyone wants to stay the night out there. The pool and hot tub will be ready to go, and we can grill out after we play.

If you are planning on spending the night, we are going to run an airsoft game in the darkness, so make sure you bring yours, or hit me off-line if you need some advice on something to pick-up. Yes - the sub-$20 academy special will be fine for this scenario. You will need eye protection as well.

Let me know who can make it out, so I know how to plan the events.

Talk to everyone soon.

Does red mean "safety" or does it make bullet?


Beware the Jihadist menance.

Aw yeah . . . finally.

Just when you thought that science was only good for things like making artificial flavors and crashing satillites into nearby planets . .

Korean Scientists Develop Female Android

Standing 1.6 meters tall and weighing about 50 kilograms, she can understand others, speak, blink with her eyes and makes several facial expressions.

But she is not human, rather an android developed by a team of South Korean scientists. It is only the second time in the world that an android has been developed _ Japan made the first one.

The team, headed by Baeg Moon-hong, a senior researcher at the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology, Thursday took the wrap off the female android, named EveR-1, during an exhibition at the Seoul Education Culture Center.

EveR-1, a combination of Eve and robot, looks just like a Korean female in her early 20s including her shape that is benchmarked against the nation's model. More

Unfortunately, she talks.

Later models will be mute and just nod approvingly. :)

It Ain't Always Like The Movies

Al-Qaida's next target - the newspaper racks of America?

Well, at least someone will be paying attention to newspapers in this country.

Movie Promotion Confused With Bomb in L.A.

SANTA CLARITA, Calif. (AP) - A newspaper promotion for Tom Cruise's upcoming "Mission: Impossible III" got off to an explosive start when a county arson squad blew up a news rack, thinking it contained a bomb.

The confusion: the Los Angeles Times rack was fitted with a digital musical device designed to play the "Mission: Impossible" theme song when the door was opened. But in some cases, the red plastic boxes with protruding wires were jarred loose and dropped onto the stack of newspapers inside, alarming customers.

Sheriff's officials said they rendered the news rack in this suburb 35 miles north of downtown Los Angeles "safe" after being called to the scene Friday by a concerned individual who thought he'd seen a bomb.

Not that there is any relation between "bomb" and blockbuster Hollywood movies . . .
