Leading Gospel singer in the country Rose Muhando is gearing up for the grand Easter show expected to be held at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam on April 8.
Muhando said she is on her way to showcase her rich talents and perform to her highest form on that day despite a stiff challenge likely to face from visiting singers.
Among the foreign gospel singers invited to take part in the show includes South African Rebecca Malope.
Malope will also be on the stage but Muhando said she is completely unfazed by the South African arrival for the show.
Muhando says she is making preparations that would keep fans spellbound during the day no matter who will be attempting to overshadow her.
The show is a charity one aimed at raising funds for the needy orphan children as well as underprivileged widows.
The objective is to give the beneficiaries a staring capital to open viable small businesses,
Msama Promotions' executive director Alex Msama said the Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Bernard Membe, has been earmarked to be the guest of honour.
Other high ranking Government officials, reputable businessmen and dignitaries are also on the line-up to attend the event.
Besides Muhando and Malope, other musicians have also been invited to perform.
Muhando has been a thriller during previous shows that included the launch of her famous album 'Uwe Macho', 'Nyota ya Ajabu (Zawadi ya Krismasi)' and 'Jipange Sawa Sawa'.
The Dodoma based Chimuli Anglican Church's worshiper is making practice sessions while fasting.
She expects to perform, among others, Gospel songs such as 'Kitimutimu', 'Imani', 'Onjeni', 'Sikilizeni Enyi Makahaba', 'Mungu Wangu', 'Moyo Wangu', 'Najitoa Sasa', 'Hey Mbona Watenda Dhambi' and 'Wapendwa'.
Besides the songs, Muhando gears up to release a fourth new album 'Utamu wa Yesu' which has not been made public, so says Msama.
Msama, who is also the organizing chairman of the show, says Gospel songs' fans have to get prepared for the Easter show which he believed would shake up the city and its suburbs.
Other foreign Gospel singers lined up for the event are Kenyan duo of Maryanne Tutuma and Anastasia Mukabwa.
The line up of singers extends to Christina Shusho, Upendo Nkone, Upendo Kilahiro, Solomon Mukubwa, Atosha Kissava, Ephraim Sekeleti and Glorious Celebration group.
Kinondoni Revival choir, which boasts of 'Mtu wa Nne' album, is also invited to perform as Faraja Ntaboba from the Democratic Republic of Congo is on his way too.
"So far we have a long list of performers who have confirmed to take part during the show," said Msama.
Muhando is also scheduled to team up with Anastasia Mukabwa, her partner singer when she produced 'Vua Kiatu' album.
The Dar show will be followed by a similar one to be held at the Jamhuri Stadium in Dodoma on the subsequent day where the Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly, Job Ndugai, has been invited as a guest of honour.
The entrance fee for the Dar show are 2,000/- for children, 5,000/- for other adults and special seats are available for 10,000/-.

| How to join!
1. Choose a character from the remaining characters list nearby!
3. Send us a note (please type a subject like "Application: Ness" to help us keep track of the notes) filling out the form below:
a) Which character do you want?: (ocs; what is your character name?)
b) Why do you want to role-play as this character?:
c) Do you really think that you can role-play this character?:
d) Show me! please write a monologue of at least 5 sentences. The subject can be anything, as long as it's not a speech about the said character(please see 'Monologue help' for more on this!):
e) How many times a week you think you could check your comments?:
f) Do you agree with the rules? (Yes/No):
g) Do you have any ideas and/or questions concerning the character you wish to role-play as?:
h)(Canons only!) What password do you want your character to have as a log in? (Please do not change this without noting us.)
i) (oc's only!) explain a bit about your character, at least a paragraph; we need to know how they are like!
j) (oc's only!) name the canon character(s) you have been rping! (see #1 in the oc rules for more info)
Monologue help:
Monologues are the hardest part of the application to some, whether it be the typing of the topic itself.
1. remember that monologues are not a history lesson! While it's interesting to talk about such things, you should try to focus on HOW you will be rping the character.
2. You can type in two styles; style one uses asterisks (ex: *he looks over at the girl, frowning* Who are you, again?) and the other uses quotations. (ex He looks over at the girl, frowning. "who are you again?"
3. be creative with the topic you place the character in!
3.wait until you get two approvals from us; then will give you the permission to make an account or supply you with one (if the said canon already has an account.) :>
4. If you lack an avatar, either make one or we can supply you with one!
5. Canons NEED to give us the password for the accounts, or update them if they change them. this so we can have less accounts to have left about (and having to make another 'Lucas' account would be silly!)
6. Have fun in the rp!
General rules:
1. Accounts must be visible! This is so we can tell if your account is active or not (if it's invisible, we'll note you to change it, or we'll take the account away!)
2. NO CHATSPEAK. This is because we don't want to figure out what you are saying, and it's downright irritating. Also, try not to rp in one word sentences (ex: saying 'ok' for every response.)
3. Do not godmod, or overpower your character; this is unfair to the rp!
4. Don't overuse the emoticon/plz accounts in the chatroom, or we'll have to ban them again.
5. Pairings are nice and open to all types! (info on the rules for canonxoc parings in the oc rule section.)
Journal and Art rules:
1. If you are going on Hiatus, you must write either a journal announcing this or note us! This is so we can know who's on hiatus when we do the rollcall.
2. speaking of journals, please don't write journals that aren't related to the rp! (basically, journals that are all in ooc and aren't hiatus journals.) you can do it on your non-rp account.
3. art must be mother rp oriented, of course! otherwise, it's very open and free as to what you draw.
Canon rules:
1. Stay in character; pretty self explanatory.
2. Remember to log on at least once a week! THIS means logging in, and USING the account; don't 'save' accounts simply because!
3. You can be up to three characters; either three minor canons, or a mix of one major and two minors.
Oc rules:
1. You can only make an account after you've roleplayed a canon for a month. This is so we can figure out how active you really will be.
2. Don't act like you know everyone; people like Ness don't know you, and you shouldn't know him. The only exception is if the oc is related to another oc in the rp in some way (friend, family member, and so on. )
3. Try not to make them cliche! the mother world is one with a variety of people and creatures, so feel free to let your imagination soar. Just don't make them TOO much like something else (like a Claus look a like or a girl that acts like Paula (with a bonus of having a frying pan for weapon!....just, NO.) )

Major: an account that has a big role in the game; The main characters of the games (like Ninten or Jeff) and the main antagonists (like porky and Giygas) are all Major.
Minor: a character with a smaller role, and usually has less dialogue. These characters range from enemies (the spiteful crow, Dogfish, and so on) to minor characters in the game (like Tony and the Tazmily folk.)
OC: also known as 'original character', these are characters that are created by the rper. They can range from just about anything, considering how vast and unique the mother world can be.
OOC: not to be confused with 'OC,' OOC (out-of-character) is a method that is used to denote that the rper is talking, rather than the character they play. it's usually seen as two pairs of parenthesis (( )) surrounding the text.

Round 1 of the Boys' Under 12 division kicked-off Day 5 of the 2009 SIMA Surfing America USA Championships presented by Verizon Wireless on a high note. Watching these groms surf was like watching a preview of the future of professional surfing. Young stand-outs like local favorite Kanoa Igarashi of Huntington Beach led Heat 3 throwing airs relentlessly. Although, he might have had better luck sticking one if he'd remembered to wax his board.
"I need to be more prepared," jokes Igarashi admitting that wax or no wax, the air 360 he attempted for us today may have been the closest he's ever gotten to landing one. "I've been practicing airs and there was a really good air section so I decided to give it a try."
His bold performance did not go unnoticed by the judges as he was awarded a total score of 17.10 out of 20 possible points, to take the heat by a landslide. "It was really fun out there," says Igarashi, but even when you're surfing well, he cautions "never underestimate anyone."
The tropical swell that graced the earlier days of the competition began to fade this morning, but as the afternoon progressed a new WNW swell started to fill in providing the competitors in the Boys' Under 16 (ISA) Semi-Finals idyllic conditions for showcasing their skills.
Heat 1 of the Boys' Under 16 (ISA) Semi-Finals was dominated by Kolohe Andino of San Clemente who wasn't holding anything back. Surfing with a consistency beyond his years, he delivered a polished performance landing a clean air reverse that solidified his first place standing in the heat with a huge single wave score of 9.17 out of a possible 10 points.
The second heat of the Boys' Under 16 (ISA) Semi-Finals saw a tight race for the top two spots between Conner Coffin (CA), Luke Davis (CA) and Ian Crane (CA). Davis held onto first place for the majority of the heat, but was bumped by Coffin in the final seconds of the heat. Ian had everyone on the beach holding their breath as he went for a barrel ride that likely would have advanced him through to the Quarter-Finals if he just could have held onto it.
The final results from this, and the rest of the day's heats, are as follows:

So, I decided to make it slightly bigger. I see it now to be between 600 and 800 m² and can comfortably house around 50 people. I'm really bad with dimensions so if this is incorrect or impossible, please let me know.
I added the forest, dirt and undergrowth to the sketch. The first one is with the sketch for the river and ruin, the second in is just the clearing, to give some sort of an idea for what is going to be added later on. I'm still looking for some way to make the trees look bigger. Would making the Drop Shadow longer help? Comments are most welcome.

Last weekend, the national women's football team, Twiga Stars defeated Namibia 5-2 on aggregate to advance to the next round of the African Women's Championship qualifiers.
The team achieved this feat in spite of the many challenges facing women's football in the country today.
One of these problems is the lack of sponsorship, which interestingly does not affect their male counterparts, the Taifa Stars, who are rarely short of funds.
Sadly, insufficient funds is a vexing issue that has troubled the Twiga Stars for the past few years.
And unquestionably, this has only served to demoralize the team, which should make us even prouder of their achievements.
Another huge challenge confronting women's football is the regrettable fact that there are no structures in place to support the game across the country.
For instance, despite a lot of talk about the possibility of setting up a national women's football league, we have seen scarcely any action on this front.
In addition, youth development programs which are flourishing in giants of African women's football such as Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa, simply do not exist in our country.
Indeed, all these negative factors mean that women's football cannot take root in the country and grow to become even more successful on the continental stage.
In light of all this, the fine achievements of the Twiga Stars to date need to be infinitely more appreciated as I alluded to earlier in this discussion.
Many would be extremely hard-pressed to name a country either in men's or women's football, which has had to grapple with the serious problems affecting the Twiga Stars, and yet still achieve success.
But so far, all fair and honest wananchi would agree that we have failed them and in spite of our neglect, they have still summoned up enough strength and will to become one of our finest sporting ambassadors.
So, bluntly put, they deserve much more support as they have proved that there is a huge wealth of untapped talent in our country.

Members of the Alaska Food Policy Council hosted a town hall meeting in Bethel last week to gather information they'll use to guide statewide food policy.
Bethel community members gathered around tables at a local café to brainstorm ideas about how the food system in the Y-K Delta could be better. Subsistence hunting and fishing along with gardening and farming were noted as strengths in the Y-K Delta, while high prices at grocery stores and problems finding places to process and store food were among the problems discussed.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- One flew an A-10 Warthog over Iraq and Afghanistan. Another was part of the 29th Infantry Brigade's medical operations near Baghdad. A third lost both legs and partial use of an arm in a rocket-propelled grenade attack in Iraq.
All are war veterans aiming to serve in Congress. All reflect an evolving U.S. military. All are female.
After more than a decade of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, dozens of military veterans -- Republicans and Democrats -- are running for Congress this election year as voters have shown a fresh enthusiasm for candidates with no elected experience. This year, as the military has opened more jobs to women closer to the front lines, several of those veterans are females with battlefield scars and pioneering accomplishments.

How To Surf Better - Get New Fins - Get Hexcore
March 18 2011
Looking to stay in the tube longer, surf more vertical, or just surf faster? We have a bunch of templates to fit your style, board, and surf conditions. Our Hexcore technology fins give you more drive and perfect flex. These fins are available in FCS compatible, Futures compatible, and glass on. Not only does the Hexcore perform better but is also 25% lighter than standard fiberglass fins.
Try a set today and feel the difference!
Most people don't realize that the fins on their board have a very important role in how well they are surfing. Fins that are too big are going to obviously make the board hard to turn, fins too small will slide and not give you drive. Fine tuning your fins is trial and error but when you dial in the perfect setup, you will surf better for sure. One of the main things you want to accomplish with your fin setup is to get the most drive and then turns will follow. A Hexcore fin is going to give a lot of drive where plastic molded fins will not. If you're surfing smaller fun waves you may want to go with smaller fins to allow more release on your turn and better turning radius. When surfing bigger, more powerful waves, switch to larger fins for more drive and more drawn out turns to keep from sliding out on critical sections. The size of the fins in direct relation to the waves you are surfing is the first step. Not all fin templates are created equal! Don't be afraid to experiment with different fin templates. Here are some key point on fin design to help you choose the right surf fin.
Flex is a very important element in our designs. Many of our fins come with a tuned flex. A fin that has flex can be very different than a fin without flex. The flex concept brings to life an otherwise average ride. Cutbacks have more power and bottom turns have more projection.
True Ames Fins incorporate a constant foil which means you will not find any flat spots on our fins that may cause water disturbance which will ultimately cause poor performance. Smaller fins do not need to be so thick to have the proper foil.
The depth of your fins is measured from base to tip vertically. Adjusting your fin size will affect the performance of your board. Larger fins provide more stability and control, so a larger board will need bigger fins.
The outline of a fin is what determines the area and the look. The way the area is distributed on the fin is what makes fins individual and work in so many different ways. A wide base fin with a wide tip is the most stable but not forgiving. A narrow base fin with a narrow tip will be very loose and fast but unstable at slow speeds. The fin's sweep (or rake angle) affects the board's ability to carve turns. A more vertical fin will make tight turns and fast directional changes while a more raked fin will carve wider arcs and handle more power through turns. Tail width is also a factor in fin choice. Narrow tail boards do not require deep fins because there is less distance from the fin to the rail. A wide board requires a deeper fin than a narrower board. range.

|Ronald D. Moore & René Echevarria
|Directed by:

A vengeful Klingon spy takes the Defiant back in time to kill Captain James T. Kirk.
Lucsly and Dulmur from Temporal Investigations arrive on DS9 and ask Sisko about a recent temporal incursion in which Sisko took the USS Defiant back in time. He tells them the full story may take some time -- no pun intended -- and begins to recount the events leading to the incursion.
The Cardassian government had expressed a desire to return one of the Bajoran Orbs, so the Defiant went to Cardassia Prime to collect it. Without knowing which orb it was or even if it were genuine, Captain Sisko secured it in crew quarters to be authenticated on Bajor. Before leaving Cardassia Prime, Barry Waddle came aboard -- a human merchant who had been trapped on Cardassia when the Klingons attacked. He was an elderly, seemingly harmless man.
- As the story progresses, Sisko's voiceover ends and we are in the present tense.
Halfway back to DS9, Chief O'Brien announces a massive surge in chroniton radiation around the ship as the entire bridge glows brightly. The viewscreen shows nothing but white noise. The ship drops out of warp and decloaks as someone activates the transporter. Sisko orders Lieutenant Commander Dax to get the ship back under cloak as O'Brien repairs the viewscreen.
When the image is restored the crew is shocked to see the original USS Enterprise -- James Kirk's ship -- in orbit of Deep Space Station K-7. They discover that it is stardate 4523.7.
The Defiant crew discovers that Wattle stunned the deputy guarding the Orb and transported off the ship. They learn that his real name is Arne Darvin, and he is a Klingon who was altered to look human. The younger Darvin had been -- or rather, is -- on K-7 posing as a Federation official in order to poison a shipment of quadrotriticale and thus sabotage the Federation's efforts to colonize Sherman's Planet.
The Defiant crew don't know where Darvin went or what he plans to do, so all they can do is search for him -- and do it without being noticed. The crew discard their 24th century Starfleet uniforms and don Kirk-era uniforms -- Sisko in a gold Command uniform wearing Lieutenant's stripes, O'Brien in a red support uniform and Bashir in Medical blue. Dax appears in female uniform appropriate to the era and Odo and Worf arrive dressed as civilian traders.
With a final warning from Sisko to avoid contact with anyone from that time period as much as possible, the crew beams out, with Odo and Worf searching K-7 and Sisko, Dax, O'Brien, and Bashir searching the Enterprise.
Aboard the Enterprise, O'Brien and Bashir learn to use an old-style turbolift. They scan for Darvin using their 23rd century tricorders but have no luck. Dax reminisces about the era while she conducts her scans with equally negative results.
Meanwhile, aboard K-7 Odo learns that Darvin had been on the station not long ago as he ordered a raktajino in the station's mess hall. While he doesn't know where Darvin is now, the waitress tells him Darvin will be back. Odo watches as Cyrano Jones entices Lieutenant Uhura with a tribble, and when Worf arrives shortly thereafter, Odo has acquired a tribble of his own, which infuriates Worf. He explains that the Klingon Empire once sent hundreds of warriors to eradicate tribbles in the 23rd century. Odo sarcastically asks if they still sing songs about the "Great Tribble Hunt."
The Enterprise goes to Red Alert as the IKS Gr'oth, a Klingon D-7 Battlecruiser, approaches the station. Dax immediately recognizes it as Koloth's ship and wants to meet him, as he was an associate of Curzon. She notes how much fun it would be, but Sisko tells her it would be too much fun and orders Bashir and O'Brien over to K-7.
There, they tease Odo and Worf for sitting at the bar while they were crawling through conduits on the Enterprise, but they're interrupted as Pavel Chekov, Montgomery Scott and Freeman enter. O'Brien is convinced that Freeman is James Kirk himself, but a confused Bashir points out that Freeman is actually wearing Lieutenant's stripes.
More importantly, the waitress points out Klingons sitting in either corner of the room; however, these Klingons look nothing like Commander Worf. Bashir and O'Brien speculate about genetic engineering and viral mutations but Worf refuses to discuss it. Meanwhile, a Klingon named Korax talks down Chekov and Scotty, who try to restrain themselves. When Korax claims the Enterprise should be hauled off as garbage, Scotty jumps up and punches him. Everyone in the bar quickly joins the fight, including Bashir, O'Brien, Worf, and Odo.
Kirk reprimands his crew -- including Bashir and O'Brien -- but releases them. Meanwhile, Odo and Worf have captured Darvin in the midst of the fight on K-7 and have beamed him back to the Defiant. There, he reveals that he plans to kill Kirk with a bomb hidden in a tribble.
Sisko and Dax opt to scan the Enterprise using its internal sensors (meaning they must go to the bridge itself) while everyone else searches K-7, excluding Worf, who like all Klingons is allergic to tribbles. After scanning the ship and finding nothing, Sisko and Dax realize that the explosive tribble must be in the cargo holds on K-7.
They beam over and search frantically through the hold, finding the explosive tribble just in time to have Major Kira beam it into space before it explodes. The Enterprise crew goes about their business, and the Defiant crew uses the Orb of Time to return to the 24th century. Before they go, Sisko brings a duty roster PADD to Kirk for approval as a pretense for meeting the famed captain.
- As the story concludes, Sisko's voiceover resumes and we are back in the present tense.
Sisko admits outright that he intentionally violated temporal displacement policy by interacting with Kirk, and he accepts any consequences his actions may carry. However, Dulmer and Lucsly admit there was probably no harm done, conceding that either of them would likely have done the same in Sisko's place. The temporal agents depart quietly, unaware that Deep Space 9 has become infested with tribbles itself.

Background Information
Conceiving the Episode
- This episode was broadcast the year of Star Trek's 30th anniversary and was written as a tribute to the original series.
- An earlier idea for the 30th anniversary episode, conceived by writer Ronald D. Moore, was to revisit Sigma Iotia II, from the episode "A Piece of the Action," where we would discover imitators of Kirk and Spock, as a social commentary on the Trekkie phenomenon.
- However, fellow writer Rene Echevarria wanted to revisit a classic episode using original footage. This was made possible by recent technological innovations such as those used in the movie Forrest Gump.
- When the writers sat down to decide which episode to use, there was little question that "The Trouble with Tribbles" was the most famous Trek episode, as well as an excellent choice in that it was relatively lighthearted compared to other well-known episodes such as "The City on the Edge of Forever."
- In what Ira Steven Behr describes as the most massive coincidence he has experienced, Behr and the other producers were at a pizza parlor in Beverley Hills discussing the possibility of bringing original TOS actors back for this episode when he recognized Charlie Brill (Arne Darvin). Although Behr was hesitant to discuss the matter directly with Brill due to the complications that normally entail Hollywood negotiations, Brill was greatly honored to be given a chance to make history twice and felt that Gene Roddenberry would be proud. Behr later joked that the remarkable turn of events proved God was a DS9 fan.
Merging the Past and Present
- The writers were initially skeptical about whether creating an episode such as this with the relatively limited budget of a television series would be possible. However, when the visual effects team showed them a clip from "The Trouble with Tribbles," they were unable to tell that an extra person had been added to the scene because the blending was so seamless.
- Contrary to the normal technique of "bluescreen" or "greenscreen" shooting, in which the new footage is shot with a blue or green background in order to allow the computer to easily place the characters into another piece of footage, the scene in which Dax and Sisko are working behind Kirk and Spock was shot with an actual set background. This was due to the fact that there was no panel for Sisko and Dax to pretend to repair in the original footage.
- Creating the footage for scenes such as the fight with the Klingons took almost a full week to shoot due to the number of components involved and the complexity of staging and other minor details. Normal bluescreen/greenscreen shooting time is half a day.
- Everything from the TOS sets was created faithfully right down to the blinking lights on the bridge, which the crew recreated by freeze-framining and painstakingly examining the TOS footage.
- The original Enterprise, now in the Smithsonian museum exhibit, had been refurbished and altered slightly over the years. Knowing that fans would inspect every minor detail of this episode for consistency, the staff consulted sketches made for the original series and had a special set of plans made for the new model's construction. They even inspected it with a magnifying glass to ensure that everything was perfect.
- The original model of space station K-7 had been lost by the time this episode was made. The recreation used in this episode was created as faithfully as possible by simply watching the episode as any fan might.
- The clip featuring Sisko meeting Kirk was juxtaposed from "Mirror, Mirror" instead of "The Trouble with Tribbles."
- Due to the complexities of recreating TOS sets, Herman Zimmerman nearly made a set that would have looked three-fourths the size it should have when seen through the lens of a camera.
- Ironically, it was easier in many cases for the DS9 actors to interact with stock footage than real people, due to the fact that they could watch the existing footage and observe exactly what the other person would be doing in the scene.
- Jadzia Dax's enthusiasm about the 23rd century and her desire to revisit old friends was the writers' avenue by which to convey their own enthusiasm about writing the episode. It was also intended to represent the way fans of TOS would feel when watching the fusion of past and present Trek series.
- When Dax and Benjamin Sisko enter the corridor aboard the Enterprise, the reactions from the actors are genuine, as they had not been on the set prior to that shot and were truly amazed by how faithfully the set recreated the look and feel of TOS.
- The hostile opinion Klingons have toward tribbles and Worf's story about their eradication is a metaphor for the hunting of rabbits and similar animals due to the threat they once posed to farmers' crops.
- The scene in which Dax is on the bridge of the Enterprise took twelve takes because of the complexity involved in the timing of the scene.
- Some of the buttons in the original footage had in fact been jelly beans.
- Quark appeared in this episode, but had no spoken lines.
- George Takei (Hikaru Sulu) does not appear, this was, however, remedied by his appearance in Star Trek: Voyager's 30th Anniversary episode "Flashback".
- The names of the temporal investigators, Dulmer and Lucsly, are anagrams of "Mulder" and "Scully", the paranormal investigators of The X-Files.
- The term "D-7", in reference to the original Klingon battle cruiser, started out as an inside joke between Shatner and Nimoy. It eventually became a reference to this style of battleship, but it wasn't "official" until this episode.
- The difference in appearance of TOS and TNG/DS9/VOY Klingons, first recognized as canon here, would later be addressed in the Star Trek: Enterprise episodes "Affliction" and "Divergence." There was a conscious effort to keep Worf at a distance from TOS-era Klingons due to the obvious make-up differences. Ronald Moore wrote Worf's explanation (or lack thereof) into the script because he felt that there was "not a single explanation that's less than preposterous" for the make-up differences and he believed that fans could figure out why the Klingons looked so different. Bashir and O'Brien's dialogue concerning the issue had them suggesting reasons, "genetic engineering" or "viral mutation", that had long been proposed by fans as the reasons for the differences. When the "Enterprise" episodes were filmed, the final canon explanation for the difference combined both their suppositions.
- This episode is summarized in the novel Trials and Tribble-ations.
- It's not surprising that O'Brien believes that Ensign Freeman is Captain Kirk: Paul Baxley was a regular stunt double for William Shatner in the original series!
- This episode also contains the first reference to the new Sovereign class USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-E). After Sisko mentions the Defiant was in front of the Enterprise, Dulmer tells him to be more specific, as there had been five. Lucsly corrects him and says there had been six.
- This is the first appearance of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) since its destruction in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.
- When Dulmer references the date of the original incident and Lucsly adds that it was a Friday, it is a reference to the fact that "The Trouble with Tribbles" originally aired on a Friday.
- According to Dulmar and Lucsly, this episode takes place "a hundred and five years, one month, and twelve days" after the events of "The Trouble with Tribbles".

High Wire is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories given to protagonist Victor Vance by drug kingpins Diego and Armando Mendez from their mansion on Prawn Island, Vice City.
Victor Vance drops-by the Mendez mansion looking for more work. Armando Mendez is there and he's worrying about Victor. Armando explains that the cops have taken their coke and Diego tried suggesting to the police that the cocaine belonged to the Vance Crime Family and says he's got a paper showing Victor's involvement in it. Victor drives to the Junkyard in Little Haiti and takes a Maverick with a magnet. The first container of the cargo is around Viceport at the police impound, and after Victor lifts it up with the magnet, he drops it at the Escobar International Airport. The second and last container is being moved out to the police station in Little Havana by a big truck, Victor lifts it before it reaches the police station and drops it at the same place as the previous container. Suddenly when he drops the second container, Diego is in trouble and is being chased by the Bikers who are damaging his car and Victor has to save him before his car catches fire. Victor flies to Ocean Beach and picks up the car and as instructed, he drops it at the multi-story car-park there.
Mission objectives
in order to complete the mission the player must:
- Get to the helicopter at Breaker's Yard
- Get in the chopper
- Fly to the compound where the containers are held
- Pick up the container
- Deliver the container to the cargo bay
- Lift the container off the truck before it gets to the police station in Little Havana
- Deliver the container to the cargo bay
- Pick up the car before the bikers destroy it
- Drop the car at the parking lot
Post mission pager message
Mendez Brothers: It is time we talked. Come and see us...
The reward for completing this mission is $1,500 and the unlocking of Burning Bridges.
- Many people may confuse the Diego in this mission with Diego Mendez one of the leaders of the Mendez Cartel.
- Arguably the most difficult part of this mission is crossing the city in time to pick up Diego's car, while Diego drives fast and erratically around Ocean Beach. Pretty much the only way to catch him is to intercept his vehicle on the Ocean Boulevard straightaway; by this time his vehicle will be approaching maximum damage and if Vic is unable to grab the car before Diego turns onto a side street, the level is pretty much lost.
- If you land the car at the car park and finished the mission, the Maverick's magnet will vanish.

Anti-VEGF Medicines for Vision Problems
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
These medicines are injected into the eye by your doctor. Before the injection, your doctor will clean the area to prevent infection and numb the eye with eye drops to reduce pain.
How It Works
A protein called vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one reason why weak abnormal blood vessels may grow under the retina and lead to vision loss. Anti-VEGF medicines block the effects of VEGF. Blocking this protein slows the growth of the abnormal blood vessels. This can slow the vision loss linked to wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or diabetic macular edema.
Why It Is Used
Anti-VEGF medicines are used to slow the vision loss caused by wet AMD. Some of these medicines can also help treat macular edema from diabetic retinopathy.
How Well It Works
Anti-VEGF medicines can slow the vision loss that is linked to wet AMD.1 Some of these medicines may also improve vision for people who have wet AMD or macular edema.
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor right away if you have:
- Hives.
- A red or painful eye in the few days after your injection.
- Vision changes in the few days after your injection.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Blurred vision.
- Eye irritation or discomfort.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Perhaps it's too horrible for many of us to contemplate, but if you couldn't have a dog for some reason, what pet would you choose instead? There's no replacing dogs, but other pets do offer some of the same benefits. Whether it's companionship, exercise, training fun, participating in activities together, the peacefulness that comes from being with animals, or the satisfaction of caring for others, dogs offer so much to our quality of life.
There's a reason they're called our best friends—dogs seem to do more for us than so many other pets, but it would be dishonest to suggest that they are the only ones that can provide any of these benefits to us. Rabbits, cats, birds, rats, ferrets, fish, hamsters, snakes and horses all provide some of the same benefits to various degrees. They are all common pets for people who have dogs and for those who don't.
There are many reasons that people who have always had dogs may decide not to acquire another. It may be too difficult to provide them with enough activity in the face of aging or a health problem. A housing situation such as those designed for the elderly may not allow dogs. A new job with an extensive travel schedule may raise concerns about properly caring for a dog. Allergies in yourself or in a family member may make a dog problematic. A new relationship in which no dogs becomes a key compromise may mean not having a dog. (I realize many readers have expressed their disinterest in developing a relationship in which dogs were a point of contention, but this is an issue for many people and there's no right answer.)
I know it's the stuff of nightmares—not being able to have a dog—but if you couldn't have a dog, what pet would you choose instead?

ALTONA, Ind. (21Alive) – After a fire in Dekalb County, detectives have reason to suspect foul play.
Fire crews were called to the 1300 block of west Quincy Street in Altona around 5 a.m. Saturday. When they arrived they found a detached garage on fire.
Crews were able to get the fire under control, but investigators suspect foul play in what caused the blaze. Investigators say evidence shows the fire ignited in an alleyway.
Fire crews say approximately one-third of the building was damaged before the fire was brought under control.
Indiana State Fire Marshals were contacted and they're investigating further into the incident.

It's 2011, just nine years away from 2020 when the EU's main climate change and renewable energy legislation expires.
Right now – with the EU's 2020 goals to increase the share of renewable energy in the overall energy mix to 20% and to cut carbon emissions by 20% – the EU is leading the world in terms of renewable energy deployment, exports and promotion.But how will we keep our leadership, retain our competitive edge, and keep cutting emissions from the power sector whilst continuing to create thousands of green jobs and billions of Euros in export revenue? Will decision-makers leave the EU in a policy vacuum post-2020?

GREENSBORO, N.C. - Miami's Shane Larkin, who led Miami to the 2013 Atlantic Coast Conference title, and national scoring leader Erick Green of Virginia Tech are among first-team honorees on the inaugural Coaches All-ACC Basketball Team announced on Monday.
The first, second and third team selections were made by a vote of the league's 12 head coaches. Balloting was conducted prior to last weekend's ACC Tournament and was based on regular season performance.
Larkin and Green were joined on the first team by the Duke tandem of Mason Plumlee and Seth Curry, as well as Virginia guard Joe Harris.
Larkin, a 5-foot-11 sophomore from Orlando, Fla., enters NCAA Tournament play leading the Hurricanes in scoring at 14.6 points per game while ranking fourth among ACC players in assists at 4.4 per game and second in steals (64).
The 2013 ACC Tournament MVP's 48.6 percent shooting accuracy ranks ninth among conference players, and he is tied for eighth in 3-point shots made with 59.
Virginia Tech's Green finished his season averaging 25.0 points per game. The 6-foot-4 senior from Winchester, Va., averaged 26.1 points in ACC regular season games, the highest mark in the conference since 2006 and the fifth highest since 1988.
Green scored in double figures in each of his 32 games this year and owns a 35-game double-figure scoring streak dating back to last season.
Duke's Plumlee currently ranks second among ACC players in per-game scoring (17.2), rebounding (10.2) and field goal percentage (59.2 percent).
The native of Warsaw, Ind., who was recently named the ACC's Men's Basketball Scholar-Athlete of the Year, also ranks among the league's top five in blocked shots and minutes played.
The Blue Devils' Curry heads into the NCAA Tournament ranked just behind Plumlee in scoring (17.0). The 6-foot-2 senior guard from Charlotte, N.C., ranks fourth in the ACC in 3-point shooting accuracy (43.0 percent) and second in 3-point shots made (83). His 81.7 free-throw shooting percentage (103-of-126) is third among ACC players.
Virginia's Harris is scoring at a 16.9 points per game clip while ranking third in 3-point accuracy (43.2 percent) and fifth in made 3-pointers (73). The ACC's ninth-leading free throw shooter at 76.6 percent, the Chelan, Wash., native has scored 20 or more points nine times this season and has led the Cavaliers in scoring 19 times.
Miami's Kenny Kadji (13.3 ppg, 7.0 rpg) and North Carolina's Reggie Bullock (14.2 ppg, 6.6 rpg) and James Michael McAdoo (14.4 ppg, 7.4 rpg) were the leading vote-getters on the second team.
They were joined by NC State's Lorenzo Brown (the ACC assist leader in assists per game at 7.2 and in steals at 2.0) and Richard Howell (12.7 ppg and an ACC-leading 10.7 rpg).
Ties in the voting resulted in a six-member third team, led by N.C. State's C.J. Leslie (14.9 ppg, 7.4 rpg) and Florida State's Michael Snaer (14.5 ppg, 81.3 free-throw percentage).
Boston College's Ryan Anderson (14.9 ppg, 8.0 rpg), Miami's Durand Scott (13.2 ppg, 1.6 steals per game), Wake Forest's C.J. Harris (15.4 ppg, ACC-leading 84.7 free-throw percentage) and Virginia's Akil Mitchell (13.3 ppg, 8.9 rpg) round out the squad.

BABOLAT 2013 Aeropro Drive GT Demo Tennis Racquet

Thanks to Rafael Nadal, the Babolat AeroPro Drive has been one of the most popular racquets in the world for several years. The latest and greatest version still uses the AeroModular "wing" shaft design, making the AeroPro series one of the fastest frames around. Woofer grommets also make for increased ball pocketing and trampoline effect. The Cortex system has been updated to the new Cortex Active "Expert" version which, along with a new handle design, better dampens "bad" vibrations while allowing the player to have maximum ball feel.

text: In No Room for Compromise: Christ's Message to Today's Church, Rick Renner sets forth his most prophetic book to date. With a sobering charge to Christian leadership to stand up for faith in Christ — regardless of the price required to proclaim it in its purest form — Renner's message is a clarion call: Winds of opposition against the Church are gathering. As pagan influences continue to increase in these last days, Christianity will once again become completely out of sync with the times with its message that Christ alone is the way to the Father.

(WZZM) -- With wind gusts between 10 and 20 miles per hour it can only take 30 minutes for you to develop frostbite in single digit temperatures. Even the mildest forms of frostbite can leave lasting nerve damage.
The first warning sign is bright red skin, with a white tint. As frostbite gets worse, the skin gets more and more discolored: White, then gray, then black.
Often most people showing symptoms of frostbite will be so cold they wont be able to feel it. You should pay attention to friends or family members if you are spending time outside.
To warm the skin, you should NOT run it under hot water. You should gradually warm skin with body heat, and get inside as quickly as possible.

Art Print by Mark Rothko | #165055
In 1947 Rothko began to paint a collection of purely abstract works that would establish the artist as one of the biggest names in 20th century art. The works, dubbed multiforms by critics, show large blocks of soft edged rectangles merging. Generally composed of two or three contrasting yet complementary colours the works are designed to overwhelm the viewer, expressing feelings of intense emotion. For Rothko the purpose of art was not to display an experience but rather be an experience in itself, and it is in these works that the artist's philosophy is best displayed. This print is an excellent example of the style of painting with which the artist would become synonymous.
This high quality print was produced on fine art paper providing beautiful colours and impressive detail.
