Dr. Zefram Cochrane: Do they have to keep doing that?

Starfleet Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge: It's just a little hero worship, Doc. To tell you the truth, I can't say I blame them. We all grew up hearing about what you did here. Or what you're about to do.

Geordi: I've never seen a solar probe with this kind of configuration, have you, Data?

Data: [uses tricorder as a hand puppet]

Data: No, Geordi, I have not. Have you?

Data: [to his tricorder]

Data: No, I have not. It is most unusual, Mister Tricorder!

At one event, the shocks failed on my blue truck and someone commented later he thought I was going to bounce off the road because the chassis was shaking so much from any pothole I hit. Another time something went wrong with the brakes and they were screeching incredibly loudly. I can think of a lot of things like that happening.

Calverton, New York

Calverton is a hamlet (and census-designated place) in Suffolk County, New York, United States.


Calverton's history is tied closely to the Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant.

The Navy purchased 6,000 acres (24 km2) around Calverton from a local farmer named Harry Edwards in 1953 including, the mansion of a grandson of F.W. Woolworth so that Grumman could test and finish jets. A 10,000-foot (3,000 m) runway was built and most of Grumman's F-14 Tomcat and E-2C Hawkeye aircraft were to pass through the plant.

- Why didn't he testify?|- McComb would go after his family.
He also said McComb|has half of the agency. I believe him.
He doesn't have me.
I said, he doesn't have me.
- Well, fuck you too.|- He's gonna close the agency.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulator_(electrical)

Insulator (electrical)

An insulator, also called a dielectric, is a material that resists the flow of electric charge. In insulating materials valence electrons are tightly bonded to their atoms. These materials are used in electrical equipment as insulators or insulation. Their function is to support or separate electrical conductors without allowing current through themselves. The term also refers to insulating supports that attach electric power transmission wires to utility poles or pylons.

Some materials such as glass, paper or Teflon are very good electrical insulators. Even though they may have lower bulk resistivity, a much larger class of materials are still "good enough" to insulate electrical wiring and cables. Examples include rubber-like polymers and most plastics. Such materials can serve as practical and safe insulators for low to moderate voltages (hundreds, or even thousands, of volts).


Insulation of antennas

Often a broadcasting radio antenna is built as a mast radiator, which means that the entire mast structure is energized with high voltage and must be insulated from the ground. Steatite mountings are used. They have to withstand not only the voltage of the mast radiator to ground, which can reach values up to 400 kV at some antennas, but also the weight of the mast construction and dynamic forces. Arcing horns and lightning arresters are necessary because lightning strikes to the mast are common.
