The Enterprise is raided by an alien force, who steal Spock's brain, leading Kirk and McCoy in a desperate race to retrieve it.
The crew of the USS Enterprise encounters a ship that is being propelled by ion drive, something that Scotty finds particularly interesting. Soon though, a strange woman from that ship appears on the bridge and renders everyone unconscious. She slips deliberately amongst the crew until she finds Spock. Mysteriously, she presses her hand against the first officer's head.
Act One
When the crew awakes, they find that Spock is missing from the bridge. Dr. McCoy calls Captain Kirk down to sickbay, where he finds Spock on a biobed. McCoy struggles to explain that, somehow, Spock's brain has been surgically removed, leaving the body alive but on full life support. Kirk proposes to find Spock's brain, but McCoy warns that the unique properties of Vulcan physiology give them only 24 hours to reintegrate mind and body.
The Enterprise uses the bulk of those hours following an ion trail to the Sigma Draconis system. Chekov places a schematic of the system on the viewscreen, pointing out that there are three Class M planets. With only eight hours remaining to save Spock, Kirk has time to visit only one of the planets before Spock's body expires, so he holds an informal staff meeting with Chekov, Sulu and Uhura to arrive at a decision. None of them seems capable of supporting interstellar flight, but Uhura finds large, regular energy pulsations on the otherwise glaciated and pre-industrial Sigma Draconis VI. The unlikely world thus becomes Kirk's best hunch.
Act Two
Kirk, Montgomery Scott, Chekov and two redshirts beam down to the surface. There, they detect five large, primitive male humanoids. Following an ambush, they subdue one of the humanoids with a phaser. The humanoid, a Morg, is confused because Kirk and Scott do not seem like "the Others", whom he describes as giving "pain and delight." Kirk is puzzled because the Morg does not understand what it means to have a mate nor does he seem to understand what a female is.
Chekov finds evidence of an underground city with his tricorder. Scott finds food and weapons stored in a cave, but Kirk sees that there is a sensor and surmises that the cave is a trap the Eymorg use to capture the natives. McCoy beams down with Spock, whom he has fitted with a remote-controlled device to substitute for his brain. They allow themselves to be captured. Chekov and the redshirts remain aboveground; Chekov uses his phaser to heat a rock to help them stay warm.
In the underground city, they encounter "the Others" – a race of beautiful females, the Eymorg, who live in comfort below the surface of the planet, but have the minds of children. Captain Kirk finds that he is able to establish contact with Spock's brain by using his communicator. He reports that he is well but that he does not know where he is. They find the woman they saw on board the Enterprise immediately before Spock's brain was removed, who renders them unconscious. They are taken prisoner.
Act Three
When the away team comes to, they find that they have been outfitted with silver belts that have large, round green devices at the abdomen. Kirk demands to know what has happened to Spock's brain, but the Eymorg do not understand what a brain is or what is the Enterprise. Finally they understand that the "Controller" the Eymorg speak of is Spock. It seems that these women have somehow connected Spock's brain into their computer and that his brain is responsible for running their expansive underground dwelling because they, as a race, have long forgotten how to take care of themselves.
Having been left alone, McCoy, Scott, and Kirk incapacitate the guards. Kirk speaks to Spock using the communicator. They inform him that his brain has been removed and it is being used as some sort of controller. Spock reports that he has a body that stretches into infinity and his medulla oblongata seems to be breathing, pumping blood, and maintaining temperature. Spock suggests that the project to restore his brain might be impractical; he would trust McCoy to remove a splinter but the knowledge to replace his brain does not exist in the universe. Kirk, however, insists that if the knowledge exists to remove his brain, there must be knowledge to put it back. He instructs Spock to send out a signal so that they may find where he is being kept. Spock complies.
As they make their way to the chamber, Kirk asks about the belts. Spock accesses the information: one must press a red button on a bracelet in order to release the belt. They enter the chamber where Spock's brain is kept, but an Eymorg is in the chamber and activates the pain belt. Kirk uses the remote control device to use Spock's body to grab Kara's bracelet and press the red button, releasing the belts. With the crew freed, Kara pleads that Spock's brain may remain connected or their civilization will die.
Kirk tells Spock that he is in a black box connected by light rays to a control panel. He wonders if the sensations he is feeling means that Spock is recirculating air, running heating plants, and purifying water. Kirk asks Kara how she was able to remove Spock's brain by placing on her head a device known as the "teacher". They place it on her head, and she suddenly speaks with erudition. She admits that she does have the knowledge, but she also now knows to use a phaser, which she points at Kirk. It is set to kill.
Act Four
Kara and Kirk debate over the proper disposition of Spock's brain. Scott pretends to faint and distracts Kara; they take the phaser from her. She says that the teacher will provide knowledge for three hours, which McCoy says would be long enough to effect the transplant, but she refuses to perform the operation. McCoy points out that he has medical knowledge and should be able to use what he already knows and retain the knowledge. McCoy places the teacher on his head and receives the knowledge; when he recovers, he says "Of course; of course. A child could do it. A child could do it."
McCoy is able to use the same knowledge to put back Spock's brain as was used to remove it. However, after a time, McCoy begins to lose the knowledge he has gained. He exclaims in despair, "I am trying to thread a needle with a sledgehammer!" Drawing on his own skills, he connects Spock's vocal cords so that Spock is able to speak, and is able to assist in completing the reconnection of his brain to the rest of his body. "I'll never live this down," McCoy says, "this Vulcan is telling me how to operate."
When Spock is restored, he makes a speech that explains the history of this retrograde civilization and the split of the genders. Kirk jokingly tries to use the remote control device to try and turn Spock off.

Background information
Production timeline
- Story outline by Lee Cronin, 22 April 1968.
- Teleplay, 16 April 1968.
- Story outline, 11 May 1968.
- Filmed in mid July 1968.
Story and script
- This was the third season's premiere, written by 'Lee Cronin', the pseudonym of former writer/producer Gene L. Coon. Based on his April 1968 story outline, this episode underwent significant revisions before the final draft.[1] Among the early concepts:
- Spock's brain was taken while he, Kirk and McCoy were exploring the surface of an asteroid.
- The antagonists were from the planet "Nefel," and were known "Nefelese." Their leader is a male named "Ehr Von." Also, there is no mention of the "Teacher."
- When Kirk contacts Spock's brain, he instructs the brain to go into the slon porra, the Vulcan state of complete mental control.
- McCoy received no transfusion of any special surgical knowledge except for a study of the planet's advanced surgical techniques. Only when combined with his existing surgical knowledge is he then able to perform the surgery.
- After McCoy completes the brain implant surgery, Spock experiences several side effects from McCoy having reversed the connections of several nerve endings, causing Spock to, among other things, laugh when he wants to sneeze. He is, however, able to restore the errors with his own mental disciplines.
- Co-Producer Robert Justman, who described the episode as being "late lamented," contributed to this story by suggesting that Spock's brain direct Doctor McCoy in the operative procedures of placing it back into Spock's body. (TOS-R Season 3 DVD special features)
- This is the only episode title of the original series that includes an Enterprise crew member's name.
- This was the last episode to be directed by regular Trek director Marc Daniels.
- The score for this episode (by Fred Steiner and recorded on 26 August 1968) was re-used in later episodes during the playback of Kirk's final message in "The Tholian Web" and Kirk's return in the transporter room in the same episode, for example. The battle music from this episode later scored Kirk and Kang's sword fight in "Day of the Dove".
- This is the first episode where characters walk in front of the main viewscreen showing a moving starfield. These include new camera angles from directly behind the captains chair with Chekhov and Sulu's heads partially blocking the screen, the screen again showing a moving starfield. These shots were clearly done for this specific episode, as they include a shot of Kirk pacing back and forth in front of the screen as well. This was a huge improvement over the stock shots of the bridge viewscreen taken from an angle behind Kirk's chair so there was a clear, unblocked view of the main viewscreen, making it easy to add whatever opticals were needed. However, it must have been cost-prohibitive, as it was not done again.
Sets and props
- Westheimer Effects created the unique glaciated planet seen from orbit in this episode.
- The "control device" used to pilot the brainless Spock, later identified as a neural stimulator, was designed by Matt Jefferies. Sketches depicting several design variations of this prop, including an optional antennae variant and chest band variant (reminiscent in design to the pain bands), appeared in the Star Trek: The Original Series Sketchbook (pg. 53).
- This is the only instance of Sulu recording a log entry while in command during TOS. In his log entry, he refers to Sigma Draconis VI as Sigma Draconis VII, a mistake Kirk made in an earlier log entry as well. The lexicon in the Star Trek Concordance also makes note of this oversight in dialog.
- The shot of Sulu in the command chair was recycled from "The Omega Glory".
Remastered information
The remastered version of "Spock's Brain" aired in many North American markets during the weekend of 9 June 2007.
The episode marked several script-appropriate departures from the original broadcast version. Given the generic design of the original ion starship, it would seem unlikely that Scotty could have recognized its propulsion system just by the hull design. The remastered version thus gives the hull a unique, easily identifiable shape.
The CBS description of the model stated:
- "In the episode "Spock's Brain" the ion propulsion spacecraft spotted by the Enterprise in 2268 certainly impressed Scotty with its design and technology. The comparison between the original and the remastered version provides two totally different looks, with styles defined more by the contemporary technology. The original is a standard rocket-shaped configuration. At the time, "spaceships" tended to fall into a one of two classic looks, the other being the flying saucer.The new, remastered version of the ion propulsion craft is smaller and more utilitarian, reflecting its single-person occupancy, and it ditches the unnecessary missile/rocket configuration. The design also reflects more modern-day ion propulsion prototypes."
The planet Sigma Draconis VI received a fresh, computer-generated appearance both from orbit and from the surface. In the original orbit shot, the planet appears to have a wide band of ocean peaking out from a less-than-uniform ice cap. In the remastered version, the ice coverage is solid, with only small strips of land present, as the script demands, "at the tropics". Also, the color of the planet from orbit closely matches the color of the land on the surface. On the surface, the landscape has been modified as well. In the original, there was only a slight indication that the action was taking place on a planet that was mostly ice. By contrast, the remastered version makes this more apparent through the use of a new matte painting. [2]

BirdLife South Africa, the Endangered Wildlife Trust's Birds of Prey Programme (EWT-BoPP), and the University of the Witwatersrand have launched a collaborative satellite tracking project on one of South Africa's most charismatic raptors, Secretarybird.
BirdLife South Africa held a number of events to promote the important link between healthy wetlands and the good health of people, birds and the economy
The newsletter includes updates on environmental education, Marine IBAs and community development.
BirdLife South Africa's Save Our Seabirds Festival tackled the issues of overfishing, pollution and habitat loss.
South Africa
This report is part of a project which aims to capture, document and disseminate these experiences and the lessons learned from them. The review is part of a project funded by the Aage V. Jensen Foundation.
BirdLife South Africa (BLSA; BirdLife Partner) has a membership of around 6,700, of whom more than 5,000 are also members of Bird Clubs. The network of more than 40 Bird Club/branches and affiliates provides a great resource, which allows BLSA to achieve much more than it could through its dedicated staff alone.
BirdLife South Africa supports the formal request by the Centre for Environmental Rights to the Minister of Mineral Resources for a prohibition on prospecting and mining in certain key areas of critical biodiversity and hydrological value and sensitivity.
One of the attractions of spending a couple of weeks in South Africa was the chance to escape a bit of the British winter – so why was I wrapped up, wishing I had brought gloves, walking into a foggy dawn? Altitude.
Of the 10,000 bird species on Earth, 1,226 are listed as Critically Endangered, Endangered or Vulnerable. Forty of these occur in South Africa and of these 20 are endemic. Although extinction is a natural phenomenon, species are now disappearing from our planet at an alarming rate, and studies have shown that this is mostly driven by human activities.
For over 30 years Bruce Pearson, a professional artist, has worked on a range of themes to convey his enthusiasm for wildlife and especially birds, giving a sense of wonder to the wild places they inhabit. More recently he has focused some of his time on developing creative links between art and conservation as a contribution towards a wider effort by an informal grouping of artists, writers, musicians, poets and others inspired by the natural world.
South Africa
BirdLife South Africa (BirdLife Partner) is at the forefront of seabird conservation action, locally and internationally. The SOS Festival is a National Marine Month initiative from BirdLife South Africa's Seabird Division. It will run from 11–17 October 2010, and aims to focus public awareness on seabird conservation problems and the work currently being done by BirdLife South Africa and other organisations to address these issues.
A species of penguin from Africa is now protected by the U.S. Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act), following the publication of a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service final listing determination in today's Federal Register.
Birdlife South Africa (BirdLife Partner) are concerned the beautiful but noisy game of football, with its cheering crowds and vuvuzelas, might have an adverse affect on birds in the area. Executive Director Mark Anderson, said the sounds emitted from the World Cup revelry might cause certain species of birds to abandon their nests and leave their eggs vulnerable to predators.
Three of South Africa's flagship bird species have moved closer to extinction, according to BirdLife on behalf of the 2010 IUCN Red List. The African Penguin's status has changed from Vulnerable in the 2009 category to Endangered, the Ludwig's Bustard from Least Concern to Endangered and the Southern Ground Hornbill from Least Concern to Vulnerable.

I am writing to express how much I enjoy your tri Indy event. I've been doing tri's since 1995 (my first was Cameron Springs at Eagle Creek), and I average 8 to 10 per year. I've done Ironman's, 1/2's, and international events in Italy and Canada. Tri Indy is the best. I love the course. The unique swim, the bike thru Indy, and the run course along the river are great. The set up in the park, the shade trees to rest under after the race, Sonny Moon playing the music, your commentary as the finisher's cross the line, and the refreshments couldn't be better. I also like having the kids around and seeing them ready their transition for their tri.
I hope tri Indy continues for many years!
"We continue to marvel at your organization and the growth of your programs. We are pleased to be a small part of your success on behalf of our youth. Please let us know whether you need anything else from us."
Today was my daughter's first time participating and I just want to thank you for a great event! She was a bit unprepared as she hadn't trained (but I figured she was in good enough shape from doing 9 hours of competitive gymnastics/week), yet she still had fun and you guys were very organized. She's not a great swimmer, so I'm not sure we'll get to another one but wanted to give you some positive feedback. She had a friend with her and the friend enjoyed it too! Nicely organized, great volunteers, really wonderful family oriented event. Thanks again!
Another job well done with the race this last weekend. And, it's cool to see "Kids Tri for Kids" receive both the great support from USAT and the new service mark!Our 4 kids really enjoy these tri's…they are such confidence builders.
What a fantastic event! Thanks to everyone that made it possible. This was my son's first tri, and he is already talking about the next one.
Also I would like to thank everyone for such a wonderfully run program. Everyone from the volunteers, parents and the children were so great. My other daughter Hannah struggled greatly in the swim this weekend, but received a lot of positive response. I'm was very touched by the support of everyone that cheered her on.
Thank you!
Dear Brad,
You have been such a blessing of joy and motivation in our family path the past 2 years. I am so grateful to know you and your wife. You two have made an incredible difference for a healthier future for the youth in our community. I am forever grateful for your ENDLESS hours you have joyously given to the Kids Tri for Kids. You many never know the hearts and souls you have set a blaze with your outreach. It has truly changed our lives forever. Nick has come so far. He has been given a space where he feels secure enough to give his best, despite his previous lack of interest to be physically fit! I don't know what we would have done without your group getting us involved in this Tri craze!!!!
Dearest Meg,

Thank you for keeping up the SMILES, the gentle, warm greetings in the middle of CHAOS… YOUR AMAZING VOLUNTEERS ARE A REFLECTION OF YOU. Please let them all know how much we appreciated them.
We loved meeting the lil 7 year old who did his first triathlon today… Nick gave him a pep talk after it was done… as he was experiencing a little heat exhaustion…. and he Pepped up fast!!! Nick had him bragging about his experience in minutes!!! To see his lil face after realizing what he had accomplished…. and the DAD… was soooooo moved with pride.
I followed a boy and his dad to the car, he must have been about 8 or 9, I heard them talking about what a great feeling it was to know he had finished…. I think it was his first as well! I told him to pause and realize there were very few kids on this planet that could say they completed a triathlon today and that he should be VERY proud. The kid beamed. The dad and I then validated each other's emotions of pride, and amazement of how the kids show such determination and strength.
YOU create these moments for us!
YOU facilitate these amazing opportunities for kids to feel they are MIGHTY and CAPABLE of making strong and healthy bodies!
YOU provide opportunities for kids to believe in themselves.

Drosera rotundifolia
Drosera rotundifolia, Czech Republic, Šumava. Source: Ondřej Zicha/EOL
Drosera rotundifolia is an insectivorous plant that occurs in marshes, bogs and fens in a circumboreal distribution; common names for this species are Roundleaf Sundew or Common Sundew. This species is designated of Least Concern by the IUCN; however, such a categorization is misleading, since Roundleaf Sundew is classified as an endangered species in certain of the United States as well as threatened in other world areas where it previously flourished. This taxon is also noted for its considerable medicinal qualities.
The detailed mechanisms of this carnivorous plant were first described in the nineteenth century, depicting the intricate nature of the tenacle attack on unwary insects. Subsequent entanglement of the prey and secretion of acidic digestive juices complete the cycle of predatory action.
Lithuanian bog habitat of D. rotundifolia on Scot's pine forest floor. @ C.Michael Hogan D. rotundifolia is one of the most broadly distributed species within its genus. Not only is it found throughout much of Siberia, northern Europe and northern North America, but it also occurs in parts of Japan, and even as far south as Korea and New Guinea, where soil and moisture conditions are favorable. The distribution in Asia is not just circumboreal within Siberia and the Kamchatka Peninsula, but also includes such regions as the Caucasus and Turkey, as well as Japan, and also the more unexpected southerly occurrences in South Korea and the island of New Guinea.
Within western Europe the species has been particularly well studied in England and Scotland with notable occurrences in the Pennines of Scotland and within England's Lake District, Shropshire as well as Exmoor, Dartmoor and Sedgemoor. Its European range also includes much of France, Germany, the Benelux as well northern Portugal and Spain. For Scandinavia and Europe's northwest islands, the Roundleaf Sundew is found in Sweden, Finland and Denmark as well as southern Norway and Iceland.The plant is also found in the Baltics in the Sarmatic mixed forests, central and eastern Europe. In Lithuania and Romania, for example; the range is not continuous over broad areas, but is specialised to boggy Scots Pine forested locales. Switzerland, Poland, Belarus and the Czech Republic also present established occurrences.
Within North America all regions of Canada manifest robust opportunities for the species, apart from tundra and prairies. Within the USA the distribution is chiefly favored in southern Alaska, the Applachian Mountains and the extreme northeast and northwest states; however, some populations are found as far south as Georgia and Louisianna.
Species description
The height of an individual plant is quite variable, and may reach 25 centimeters, although it is usually considerably less in stature. The characteristic diameter of the fully grown plant is on the order of two to five centimeters. Leaf structures manifest in a basal rosette, from the center of which emerges a thin lone glabrous stalk bearing white or pink flowers; moreover, the flowers are borne asymmetrically along one side of the slender stalk. Each flower displays five petals. The light brown coloured seeds of this species are 1.0 to 1.6 millimeters in length, with a tapered narrow shape. The plant's leaves are attached to narrow, hairy 1.5 to 5.0 centimeter long petioles.
Carnivory mechanism
D. rotundifolia leaf with tenacles and glands. G.L.Goodale As Goodale was one of the first to point out, a striking feature of D. rotundifolia is the thick assemblage of glandular hairs on the leaves; from the tip of each hair exudes a drop of clear viscid liquid. The marginal tenacles exhibit an elongated stature, and are terminated by purplish glands. The hairs at the leaf middle are more abbreviated in length and manifest green stalks with ovoid glands. Each of the glands contains a dual layer of polygon shaped shells that surround a central body.
When an animal prey alights on the inner glands of a D. rotundifolia leaf, the marginal tenacles begin to enter a torpid motion. Then suddenly these outer tenacles curve abruptly allowing the glandular tips to contact the prey. In some cases the leaf itself participates in the carnivorous enclosure of the prey.
Francis Darwin was the first to note that an object of mass as little as .0008 milligrams can initiate movement of the glandular hairs into capture mode. Once the tenacle has reached a state of excitement via contact, the cells in the vicinity of the glands evince a noteworthy transformation: instead of being full of uniform purplish fluid, the liquid content presents as purplish flecks in suspension within a transparent colorless fluid. Darwin was the first to note that these flecks exhibit very diverse geometries, from spherical, to oval to highly elliptical, and often most irregular, with club like projections.
Darwin was also the first to note that the glandular and tenacle excitation greatly increases if the prey has extractable nitrogenous chemicals. In this case not only is the tenacle action more robust, but an acidic secretion is initiated that accelerates the disintegration and subsequent digestion of the prey. When an insect tries to escape, that motion only serves to excite the tenacle and glandular activity, thus accelerating the predation efficacy.

"(3) to develop and implement a coordinated strategy to prevent terrorists from using such foreign countries as sanctuaries; and

Broadway. The name alone gives performers chills. It's the pinnacle of live theater across the world, encompassing 40 theaters in Manhattan.
If you're on Broadway, you've made it big.
And that's where you can find Westport's Mara Newbery.
Newbery is performing as part of the first Broadway cast of "A Christmas Story — The Musical" through Dec. 30.
The Nez Perce Trail Foundation elected a La Grange resident as its president during the foundation's annual meeting Oct. 19.
The Nez Perce Trail Foundation works closely with the Nez Perce National Historic Trail which is administered by the U.S. Forest Service. Congress passed the National Trails Act in 1968 and the Nez Perce National Historic Trail was recognized by an act of Congress in 1986.
Eighteen new artists have adjudicated into the Kentucky Crafted program, the Kentucky Arts Council's marketing assistance program that provides opportunities for artists to expand their market reach.
Artists are accepted into the program based on artistic excellence and market readiness as judged by an independent panel of art and craft industry professionals.
Family Feud host Steve Harvey and his no-holds-barred brand of comedy are back for a new season of America's favorite family competition. And this time, Harvey welcomes a family from Oldham County.
The Hartman family from Crestwood faces off against the Williams family from Dallas for the chance to win up to $100,000 and a brand new car, along with some serious bragging rights.
The show featuring the Hartman family airs at 12:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 10 on WDRB (Channel 41).
The sun glints off an aluminum can alongside Fendley Mill Road. For two La Grange women, this can is a sought-after prize.
It's not just one can, though, it's a whole beer case stuffed with empty cans.
"Look, a treasure!" says Sue Macuch.
If last week's Hatfields and McCoys miniseries on the History Channel has sparked your interest in the feud, you're not alone — more than 13.9 million people tuned into the series' debut.
The story has attracted interest for decades, with dozens of books and films published on the subject. There are at least nine historic sites in Kentucky and at least as many in West Virginia, most open to the public.
Hosparus needs volunteers to provide patient support and assistance with its bereavement program in Henry, Oldham, Shelby, Spencer and Trimble counties.
Hosparus will host a free volunteer training, 8:30 a.m. – 5 p.m. (lunch included) on Saturday, June 23 at its Shelbyville office, 540 Main St.
To pre-register, contact Denise Stemm at 502-719-4153 or by email to firstname.lastname@example.com by Thursday, June 21.
Those unable to attend on June 23 are encouraged to contact Denise about future training dates.
Finding the perfect Derby hat is hard — sometimes seemingly impossible. But a Prospect woman is trying to make it much, much easier.
Lisa Lake Roedemeier launched her first hat line in 2009 after not being able to find the perfect hat. Instead, she crafted her own.
It turns out Roedemeier has a knack for millinery, so she launched Madam Foo Foo Couture at Rodes For Him and For Her three years ago.
Roedemeier, a long-time racehorse owner with the Media Thoroughbred Group, named the company after one of her horses.
When he began collecting Kentucky Derby memorabilia 14 years ago, Harry Goldberg though it would be a fun, cheap hobby.
At the time, the La Grange resident worked for an auction house and would see Derby collectibles come through.
Now, Goldberg has more than 4,700 collectibles, including 1,800 drinking glasses and almost every Derby Festival pin.
"All I'm missing is '73," he says. "It's the rarest."
Snooki's slippers may be a Shore thing, but they were an Oldham County thing first.
That was before Goshen resident Pat Yates struck a deal with Nicole "Snooki" Pilozzi, the diminutive housemate with a larger-than-life personality on MTV's hit reality show, "Jersey Shore."
And now, Pilozzi and Yates expect to strike gold – again.
Yates owns Happy Feet, a slipper company his family started in 1995, long before Pilozzi hit the reality TV scene.
Derby season is approaching faster than a horse down the backstretch, and that means lots of stories about sleek, glistening Thoroughbreds.
This is not one of those stories, because this is not that kind of riding.
The horses at Little Big Horse Trails in La Grange are sturdy and calm, used to carrying regular-sized people who don't know how to ride — not minute jockeys with decades spent in a saddle.
For a long time, Scott New has wanted everyone to see Daniel Boone as a real person.
While many credit the legendary frontiersman with the exploration and settlement of Kentucky, there is no doubt that he was one of many who opened the doors for future generations to call Kentucky home.
And there are many who would agree with Kentucky Humanities Council Chautauqua performer Scott New who said he has "always been an admirer of Boone."

BW003: A Sandile Gusher of Change!
this wiki
A Sandile Gusher of Change is the third episode in Pokémon: Best Wishes (Pokémon: Black and White in America).
Episode Plot
Ash now begins his new journey in Unova, accompanied by Iris (The new Misty/May/Dawn) and her Axew. During an argument, their old friend Oshawott appeared out of nowhere (whoa). Oshawott was happy to see Ash again since it followed them all the way out here and wanted to come along with them. Ash tried catching it but then he realized that Oshawott was the same one from Professor Juniper's lab. After retrieving it's pokeball from Professor Juniper, Oshawott disappears just as quickly as it appeard. Soon Ash and Iris fall into a hole which, according to a young boy named Dan, was caused by a Sandile and a whole group. What is the cause of the Sandile Uprising? And can Ash find Oshawott so he can come along with him? Yes.
- Sunglasses Sandile
- The Poké Ball popping sound effect is heard after the Prof. Juniper's Oshawott flashback.
- This is probably the only episode where Team Rocket does not fall in a hole in a comical fashion.
- When the water rushed in and made the island it was shaped like the Team Aqua symbol.
- During the initial English dub airing, the "Who's That Pokemon" was not present in the UK airing.
- The first time this episode aired, "Who's that Pokemon" did not appear. That changed in future re-airings, with it being Sandile.
- Professor Oak's Live Caster: Pokedex
- Who's That Pokemon?: Sandile (US)
- Ash: "So why are you coming along with me anyway?"
Iris: "It's not that I'm coming along with you it's that your coming along with me. Get it?"
Ash: "Oh please!"
Iris: "It's true!"
Ash: "Man!"
- Iris: "Your such a kid!"
Ash: "Oh yeah? Your such a kid too!"
Pikachu "Pika-Pika!"
Iris: "You've got some nerve saying that to me!"
- Ash: "Are you the Oshawott from Professor Juniper's lab?"
Pikachu: "Pik-a?"
Oshawott: "Oshawott, Oshawott, Oshawott, Oshawott!"

Ameda Purely Yours Breast Pump with Carryall
- Product Review (submitted on June 8, 2009):
- Before purchasing this pump I owned a Medela Pump-In-Style, needless to say I no longer use the Medela. It conked out after just 4 months of use, leaving me without a pump. A friend recommended Ameda to me and I have been very pleased after 5 months of use. Not to mention this was a better price than the Medela.

A habitat will naturally change over time. Consider a farmer's field surrounded by forest land. If the field is not plowed on a regular basis, natural plant life will gradually inch its way back in - first grasses, then shrubs, and eventually turning the field back into the natural habitat that surrounds it. This gradual change in the environment is known as 'succession'. It is a naturally-occurring process that happens in every habitat, as soon as a disturbance to the natural balance has occurred. As long as a habitat is not permanently changed (as is the case with urban development such as building a highway or parking lot), the environment will always restore balance over time.
Wildlife Management Practices are efforts by private landowners and conservation organizations to enhance wildlife and the land that supports it. This works to ensure that wildlife will be maintained at healthy populations and that the natural balance that is achieved through succession is not disturbed by human interaction. Through these practices, we are able to study and understand wildlife, as well as how humans interact and utilize wildlife to ensure this balance to natural habitat is maintained. These are some Wildlife Management Practices:
Fires and Selective Burning
Provides new growth in forests and open lands.
Selective cutting of trees opens the canopy of the forest, allowing the understory to grow. The understory becomes food and shelter for a variety of wildlife. Clearcutting opens large tracts of land and encourages browse to grow. These areas are also planted with small trees, which will provide shelter for wildlife.

Comments On Dec 10, 2013:I bought this helmet during their clearance time at a great price. This helmet looks much better than the picture on the website shows. The colors are more vibrant & detailed. It is very light, very comfortable and well padded. It is SNELL certified (and DOT as well), but is not mentioned on the website I normally wear a large, but took the advice of others and got the XL. Even though I believe the large would have fit, the XL fit perfect. So, I would go at least one size up, as others have recommended.

Comments On Nov 27, 2013:The 5 year old $100 helmet this was supposed to replace is lighter than this helmet. Pads and underlaying foam seem cheap and don't fit snuggly. Sizing runs small. I am returning mine.

Comments On Nov 21, 2013:Very nice helmet but they do run a little small. I usually wear between a small and medium so I purchased a medium and it is almost too small. It looks even better than the photos! Very pleased.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Oct 08, 2012:I will usually wear a L or XL helmet, my head measures out to about 23-1/4 to 23-1/2. I ended up with the XXL (the largest size available) still not fitting. Coulden't get my head to fit up into the helmet properly, and it would about rip my ears off trying to get out of it. I had a buddy try it on as well and he had the same problem. Now I am shipping it back on my own dime since I am out of returns.
If you have a small head you might not have the same problem but buy BIG.

Mr. Pop's Plantation
We were returning from our ecolodge in Belize's tropical heartland to the Belize City municipal airport. There, we would take a short flight to the southern state of Toledo. On the way, our driver asked our permission to pick up a woman waiting at a lonesome bus stop in the countryside. He knew her as the wife of a farmer and she was taking a basket of squash to market. We exchanged small talk and when she left the van, she turned to me and said, "Little Belize has a lot of richness but nobody pays no mind."

(written from a Production point of view)
Stephen Edward Poe (18 March 1936 – 6 January 2000; age 63) was a successful author who has written the very first specialized reference book on the behind-the-scenes aspects of a Star Trek production, The Making of Star Trek
In 1966 Poe, an employee of an advertisement firm, was hired by model kit company Aluminum Metal Toys (AMT) as a consultant for marketing and communications purposes. In that capacity he was instrumental in brokering a deal between Desilu and AMT for the latter to acquire the rights to produce model kits based on the new Star Trek show, starting a decades long association between that company and the franchise. In return AMT was to help out the studio with the construction of set pieces when required. Also, Poe was given free access to the studio which in 1968 resulted in the publication of The Making of Star Trek, a book he wrote under the name Stephen E. Whitfield, his stepfather's surname. Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry is credited as co-author for the book, although his contributions were minimal. (Inside Star Trek: The Real Story) For many years, this was the only book on the behind-the-scenes aspects of the production of Star Trek. Roddenberry has always been appreciative of Poe's contribution and has expressed this when he presented the second tooling master model of the D7-class studio model to Poe after the series wrapped, which he offered up for auction in 1998, to cover medical expenses.
During his stay at Desilu, he met and interviewed the show's production designer, Matt Jefferies, whom he befriended. Together with Jefferies, Poe developed in 1968 the Strategic Space Command concept for Poe's employer AMT, being a themed science fiction model kit line AMT wanted to introduce in order to capitalize on the huge success of their first two Star Trek model kits, the USS Enterprise (No. S921) and the Klingon Battle cruiser (No. S952). [1] The first model kit of the line, the Leif Ericson (No. S954), designed by Jefferies, was a commercial failure, and the project was dropped by AMT.
Thirty years later, he published his second Star Trek book, A Vision of the Future - Star Trek: Voyager, this time under his own name. While writing the book, Poe was already battling cancer, to which he would succumb two years later. (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 1, Issue 13, p. 84)
He worked with Alcoholics Anonymous, compiling A Concordance to Alcoholics Anonymous (published in 1990) with his wife Francis.

AIKEN COUNTY, S.C. -- News 12 is on your side with a warning about a fake charity that's being used to scam generous donors like you.
Aiken County deputies say a man called an elderly woman and told her he was with a charitable organization raising money to feed children. He said all she needed to do was send a money order for $150 and she would be credited $900 on the credit card she used to buy the money order.
The 60-year-old woman did just that, only to learn later that she had been swindled.
The Better Business Bureau warns folks wanting to donate during the holidays to make sure the charities are legitimate before giving. Also find out what percentage of your donation actually goes to help those in need.

Most of our watches are fitted with a heat-tempered mineral crystal. Please note that while this glass is heat-hardened, an impact with a hard or sharp object can scratch the crystal, or crack or shatter it. If this happens, retun the watch to one of our Service Centers where the crystal can be replaced for a moderate charge. Scratches and impact damage are not covered under warranty. A virtually scratchproof sapphire crystal is standard on all S-Series models and is availabe at extr acost for many other models.
