Klingon Criminal Robs Two 7-Elevens In Colorado
Are the Colorado Klingons so desperate for money? Apparently, yes. One of them robbed two stores with the Klingon bat'leth, also known as the "sword of honor."
According to the Denver's ABC Channel 7 News:
Colorado Springs police are looking for a man who hit two 7-Eleven convenience stores early Wednesday, armed with a Klingon sword. The first robbery was reported at 1:50 a.m., at 145 N Spruce St. The clerk told police a white man in his 20s, wearing a black jacket, blue jeans and wearing a black mask, entered the store with a weapon the clerk recognized from the Star Trek TV series.
The robber demanded money and left with an undisclosed amount.
While not as ridiculous as the Dalek kidnappings, this is still up there in the annals of scifi crime. Seriously how do you threaten a cash register with a bat'leth? I'd assume there was a counter in front of you and at least enough space to back away. Either way I hope there was a lot of waving and screaming.
I hope the robber demanded the money with a low voice and then spouted off some Klingon bits of advice. It would be terribly hard to take this thief seriously — especially since if I saw him I'd probably run up and shout, "Cool can I try?" Let this mark of dishonor follow the masked man all through his days.
Sluggo the Homeless Kling-On Travel Coin Ambassador
Current GOAL: Sluggo wants to go to geocaching events, especially MEGA-Events, to be discovered just like his fellow Kling-Ons to the "
Goin' to Uranus and Huntin' for Kling-Ons" community travel bug which is the smallish refrigerator door that he is permanently attached to. Sluggo REALLY wants to tour The Star Trek experience, in Las Vegas, and meet a REAL Klingon if there is time between events. Sluggo truly believes NO ONE has big enough stones to drag a fridge door through the exibit though. Oh and pictures! Sluggo wants PICTURES!
About this item:
Sluggo is the first geocoin to be attached to the fridge door. He is attached in such a way that that his front side AND his tracking number, on back, can both be viewed. Please take lot's of pictures with the fridge door and post them here or on the "Goin to Uranus and Huntin for Kling-Ons" TB page. Group pictures with geocachers would be great, but show off your inner Star Trek geek if you have ST/TNG/DS9/Voyager/Enterprise related stuff, or your SUPER geekness if you have a Star Trek costume.

5 Things Homeless People Can Teach You About Making Money
I'm sure that the title confuses you and makes you wonder how you could possibly learn something about making money from a bunch of people who sleep in a box. Well, before you get judgmental, you 
should know that not all people end up in the streets just because they bankrupted. However, one thing is sure - they're all doing a great job keeping themselves alive!
Homeless people don't have cell phones, Armani suits, steady jobs or fancy offices, but they can still teach you a thing or two about making money. Read, watch and learn!
3) Target Specific Audience
This homeless Klingon is going to the annual Star Trek convention, I guess he doesn't know it's not honorable for a Klingon to beg for food. Nevertheless, he will be well fed by a number of merciful trekkers.
You need to know who you're selling your product/service to in order to maximize your profit.

Recovering from Being an Unemployed Loser
Unemployment is not a piece of cake. You may be happy to no longer have your previous position but on the other hand, you may feel like an unemployed loser with no friends because you have no one to talk to during the afternoon hours. There are always stresses when working to find a new position, whether it's paying the bills, the need for health insurance or the actual job hunting. If you are single and living on your own, the being alone can just get to you.
The best thing that may come out of all this is that you learn from previous mistakes at previous positions and you work to focus your job hunt towards the things necessary at the company you work for, to work better for you. Contacting Executive Recruiters and other placement agencies can also help during this process to give you more opportunities. Of all things, patience is most necessary if you are going to find the position and company right for you.
Make sure while you are job hunting to get out and make some trips whether it's through town or for a walk if you are likely to lock yourself up in your home job hunting. Despite the fact that you have to focus on finding a position, all your waking hours can't be spent doing this. Maybe you've been meaning to start that exercise routine or haven't been able to catch up in the garden. This is the time to start. Create a schedule for yourself while looking for that position.
If you need health insurance and can't afford Cobra, apply for SAGA to see if you meet the qualifications. Of course, don't forget to contact the Department of Labor. The hardest thing is to be left with no health insurance and have health problems. You may also call up your local social services to see if you might qualify for any assistance.
In this age of the internet, it may be possible to do some freelancing in your field of work to make some extra money and gain some experience, or perhaps one of your hobbies is a money maker.
If you decide to get a part time job remember that you will lose approximately two-thirds of the check you receive from the Department of Labor. So choose your position wisely

You know it's a tough economy when even the proud and warlike Klingons get hard up for cash. Anyone concerned with the proliferation of unregulated weapons could have seen this coming.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- A surveillance picture released by police Wednesday afternoon shows a man armed with what appears to be a small Klingon sword, holding up a 7-Eleven convenience store...The Startrek.com Web site describes the Klingon weapon as crescent-shaped and about a yard long. However, the weapon that the man was wielding appears to be smaller than that. The bat'leth has points on both ends, two points in between and a handle on the outside. Klingons were warlike enemies of the good-guy United Federation of Planets in the original "Star Trek" series but were allies in "Star Trek: The Next Generation."
Mark my words: this is just the beginning. Klingon sword violence might be a trickle now but unless we get a quick handle on it and finally pass some sword-control legislation with real teeth we'll continue seeing the violent effects of Klingon sword attacks. It's imperative we do three things.
One: an immediate ban on all bat'leths with a total edged surface of over ten inches. Such weapons serve no practical ceremonial or sporting purpose.
Two: a mandatory 15-day waiting period for all Klingon sword purchases regardless of style. We all know how quick-tempered and touchy Klingons are, and a "cooling-off" period will save many lives and limbs.
Three: it's crucial that we close the Sci-Fi Convention loophole, which allows anyone - Klingons and non-Klingons alike - to purchase Klingon weaponry without any regulatory oversight whatsoever. These virtual open-air exotic arms markets also encourage the dangerous phenomenon of cross-genre weapons trading where Klingons, Storm Troopers, Jedi Knights, Captain Kirks, Cylons, Sleestaks and all manner of intergalactic warriors can freely exchange weaponry and combat techniques.
I know the pro-sword lobby will be against these proposals, claiming some silly right to bear arms and such, but the truth is that failure to implement such common-sense measures will result in widespread carnage and wanton hewing of limbs. An armed society is a dangerous society. Seriously, would you want to argue over a parking spot it with this guy?

GOP Mike & Panhandlers - Like Oil & Water!!!
To my Conservative Frie
nds:
My friends and co-workers kid me all the time because every time we go out on the streets of the big city, it seems I am always the target of the Panhandlers, Beggars, Do-Nothings, Homeless or whatever you want to call the people with the cups in their hands asking for money, food or whatever... If only they read this blog, they would avoid me like the plague!!!!
I do love the creativity and ingenious signs they come up with to increase donations to their cause... We have some doozies in NYC, but other cities have some creative vagabonds as well... If these people utilized 50% of their smarts getting their lives in order as they did creating witty panhandling signs, they would be well on the road back to being useful members of society...
OPINION - Star Trek sequels
So, Star Trek has taken the box office on its opening weekend with an estimated $76,500,000. With tremendous reviews, a current 96% fresh rating at Rotten Tomatoes, and what will undoubtedly be great word of mouth, it’s looking likely that the movie will not only be a success but that it will spawn a sequel. The writers of this film, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman are contracted to write the sequel (also this cast signed a multi-picture deal in case it was a success) and have hinted at the possibility of including Kahn in the next one (Kahn appeared in the original series episode “Space Seed” and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn).
I’m going to go on record and say that I ho
pe they don’t put Kahn into the sequel. “Why?” you might ask. Well, Kahn is the iconic villain of Star Trek lore, despite only appearing in roughly three hours worth of programming. Yeah, it’d be great to see him represented on screen again, but then where do you go from there? The indications are that the actors had to sign three picture deals (which is standard for franchises anymore), meaning Paramount has a potential trilogy on their hands. And that’s exactly how I would start looking at it: a trilogy. And if they’re going to do a trilogy, why blow their load early? Why not save the strongest villain for the final part and go out with a bang? (There will most likely be more than three movies, but this cast is only guaranteed for three).
But then where would that leave the second film? Well, apart from Spock and Kahn, there is another icon of Star Trek.
The Klingons.
Apart from the Vulcans, what alien race do people think of when they think of Star Trek? And who was mentioned but mysteriously absent in the recent reboot of the series? The Klingons have gotten a bad wrap in the Star Trek universe over the last few series and I’d wager that this proud race of warriors is in need of as much of a makeover as the series itself was. JJ Abrams and crew have the opportunity to avenge past portrayals of the Klingons and return them to the intergalactic bad asses that they should be.

Belgium: A Review
For years, we here at BDF have been voyaging far and wide* to learn about new cultures and then share our discoveries with you. Over time we have visited* and reviewed Norwe
gia, Sweden, and Finland among others.
We recently had a request in the comment section of an article to review Belgium. Actually, the commenter literally just said "Visit Belgium" so maybe he was employee of the Belgian Tourist Bureau or something. In any case, we took up the challenge.
Historically, Belgium was home for two primary linguistic groups: French-speakers and a smattering of German-speakers. (thanks Wikipedia!) But this is no longer the case. After the communist uprising of 1955, small cabals of rebels created a network of pirate radio stations to further the cause of liberating Belgium from the People's Party of Belgium. As time stretched on, technology grew and those pirate radio stations became pirate television stations. Pirate television stations that showed reruns of Star Trek. Alot.
Consequently, the rebels began speaking Klingon as a rudimentary code amongst themselves. Once the People's Party of Belgium was overthrown in 1987, Klingon became the official language of Belgium.
Now some might point out that Klingon's never actually spoke the Klingon language in the original television show and in fact, the fictional language of the Klingon's wasn't created until Star Trek: The Motion Picture. But those people are nerds and we generally ignore nerds. Most people do. That's why they are nerds.
