From "Bill O'Reilly's Anal Vibrator" on Facebook. Go give him a like @.. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bill-...23315434417864
What exactly is a perpetual societal leech? Is that someone who takes more from society than s/he contributes to society? Yes? Okay, then, heres some math for you: When you add up all of the money that the federal government and all state and local governments in the U.S. will spend by the time this year is over youll get a total of $6,400,000,000,000 (thats 6.4 trillion dollars). (Source: http://www.usgovernmentspending.com/) As of yesterday there were 316,406,700 people in the U.S. (Source: http://www.census.gov/popclock/)
$6,400,000,000,000 / 316,406,700 = $20,227.13
What this means is that when you add up all federal, state, and local government spending in the U.S. and divide it by the population of the U.S. you discover that all levels of our governments spend on average $20,227.13 per person per year. This, in turn, means that any household that pays less than $20,227.13 FOR EVERY MAN, WOMAN, AND CHILD in that household in total taxes per year takes more from all levels of government in services than it pays back in taxes. Therefore, BY YOUR DEFINITION, it is a household comprised of perpetual societal leeches. In other words if you are part of for example a family of four, and your family pays less than $80,908.53 a year in total taxes, you are part of a family of societal leeches, by your own definition.
By now you probably want to know if I am a perpetual societal leech. Ill answer that question like this: I am single and live by myself, which makes me a household of one. I make $90,000 per year; a high income that puts me in the 28% federal income tax bracket. This means I pay $25,200 a year in federal income tax alone. This doesnt even include my property taxes, sales taxes, excise taxes on things like restaurant meals, gasoline, and alcohol, or any other taxes and fees I pay to any level of government. If you pay less than $20,227.13 in taxes each year FOR EVERY MEMBER OF YOUR HOUSEHOLD, then guess what? **I** pay for the free government services that YOU consume. Every year YOU cost ME money. Oh yeah, and not only did I vote for President Obama twice, I also spent more hours than I can count volunteering for both of his election campaigns. How do you like them apples? Another difference between you and me is that while I run a Facebook page just like you, you will never see me make a post on my page complaining about how you cost me $5,000 per year in income tax alone. This is because, unlike you, I recognize that we are all Americans and we are all part of this country together. We all contribute what we can and we all benefit from each others contributions. Think about that next time you want to complain about how people who dont agree with you on politics are supposedly costing you money. Your math lesson is over, and you are hereby dismissed.

Traditionally, strength programs are designed with specific body parts in mind; they use single joint movements, and work through a single plane of motion. We have tried to break from this traditional approach in our program design and focus instead on training movement patterns, using multi-joint movements that work through multiple planes of motion.
The reason we train body movements instead of parts is because everything about the body's engineering is connected. What happens to the big toe affects the knees, the hips and, ultimately, the shoulders. The muscular system is both complex and simple, a series of muscular and fascial bands (connective tissue) that work seamlessly to produce efficient movement. Many workout programs do more damage than good, by producing muscle imbalances and inefficient movement patterns that sabotage this highly coordinated operating system.
The Movement patterns we focus on involve the following:
The realities of operational life require everyone to be prepared to deal with these movement demands, whether they are working in confined spaces, on deck, loading cargo or assisting in the mooring of a ship. We strongly believe that the ultimate goal of the strength training component is to provide the appropriate characteristics of strength to each movement pattern to help ensure that everyone reaches their performance potential.

It is widely acknowledged that since the death of founder President Julius Nyerere, never has the country been gripped with grief and shock that in any way compares, even distantly, with what has been experienced following the death of Steven Charles Kanumba.
For a young man of 28 years to have been an icon beyond pair or comparison, such that more than one hundred people are declared to have fainted and close to half a dozen losing consciousness (some claim there were outright deaths), at least one opting to take poison and also die, was beyond imagination. As they say, truth is stranger than fiction.
While in nominal or elementary terms what took place was the death of a film artiste and director or producer, in actual fact it was the removal from the life of millions of fans of an icon of everyday life in their homes, rooms or groups. There is an old dinner prayer among
Europeans which talks about an 'unseen guest in every meal,' in which case people are now comparing the late Kanumba with an unseen guest in
every household, such that the grief is felt very personally, a direct excision of a part of oneself.
That is why people collapse with grief
because a part of their balanced hormones, feelings is severed.
What this outpouring of grief indicates is that there is an aspect of national life that it taken a little too lightly among 'bookish' centres or spheres of national life, which they don't comprehend its
It shows that plenty of what goes on in ordinary life as mere gossip is the lifeline of sentiments across large numbers of
youths and not too few adults as well, as anything that happens to one of their icons, or in this case the key figure of their sentimental life, is injurious to their very mental state, psychic balance. It is
what is called hero-worship, where a person becomes another life, superhuman in society.
These unchecked and overpowering feelings about Kanumba remind one (of
the old school) a line in Julius Caesar, the Shakespearean drama which Mwalimu had translated in his younger days to Juliasi Kaizari. The leading conspirator against Ceasar, then a successful general whom a portion of Roman free people wanted to make him their king, is muttering to someone he is drawing into the conspiracy being hatced to kill Ceasar, out of envy. He says "he doth bestride the world, like a
colossus," which is precisely what the late Kanumba did in homes of hundreds of thousands; he represented their dreams.
The feelings demonstrated about the late Kanumba dwarfed by far and away the massive outpouring of grief following the death of Special Seats MP Amina Chifupa (UV-CCM) about five years ago.
He was well beyond being an artiste, that is, a character or individual that people see often, from time to time, and learn to identify with him or her, the sort of which is called a 'role model.' The late Kanumba had passed the stage of a role model and was the very expression of a
specific parameter of national life – he was its heartbeat, the throb of life, the best glue that put together that community, or its table salt.
Judging by the number of films he is supposed to have acted or been involved, it is virtually the case that all films that were produced in 'Bongowood' had to have Kanumba in one or other role, if not, indeed, the leading role. When such films constitute the centre of routine
entertainment for hundreds of thousands of homes, one can imagine who left their homes. He was their most welcome guest, always.

Project: I am just beginning a new campaign for a new group of players based on a long term Neverwinter Nights campaign that I ran for several years. Since it was a computer based game I never bothered with a world map. The game will be beginning in a dungeon setting but the players will eventually be free to explore the world. Also I would like to be able to run future campaigns in the same world so that the players will already be familiar with the setting. So I would like to have a nice map of the world. I have tried Campaign Cartographer, Fractal Mapper, and Autorealm in the past but never could achieve results that I was happy with so I have decided to turn to the experts!
World: The known world of Ceras consists of the remenants of a large unified continent shattered by a massive cataclysmic event at sometime in the past. The explored world now consists of a single large continent (about the size of Africa) surrounded by several small to medium sized islands. If the project is accepted I can provide details about the kingdoms and major geographical features.
Style: I really like the style of these maps
However, I'm open to anything pretty much anything so the cartographer has pretty much free reign. I am also fine with color or grayscale either one.
Number of maps: 1
Size of map: Negotiable
Cartographer keeps copyright. I just want to be able to distribute to members of local group as needed.
Deadline: Very flexible.
Budget: $100 (negotiable)

Getting the best from online and offlline networking?
I've posted this thread to discuss how people may get the best from both offline and online networking. Do you search for new prospective clients online and if so what works best for you? How do you move the relationships into face to face networking or conversations?
What's a good balance of time and effort?
Networking on and off line
I tried a bit of searching for potential targets online, but found it pretty time consuming and haphazard. That was by joining appropriate forums etc., as finding a potential target's website and contacting them from that is really just cold-calling.
I now go to several networking events and go every week; 2 weeks; month etc., so that I am a regular, the events I choose are relatively small, up to 30 attendees and all geographically close (the area in which I can easily visit at short notice 10-15 miles max). No more than 2 events a week usually breakfast meetings. Most events have a 30/60 seconds intro (elevator) if they don't I don't go back.This way I see the same people and they get to see me.
I will chat with at most 2 to 3 people per event, having tried to find an attendees list (look at the sign in list if 1 isn't sent out before hand) and sourcing likely potential clients or even just interesting looking businesses. I only say who I am and that I am a Chartered Accountant, I then ask them loads of questions and listen to their replies. I attempt to be a good listener and just see where the conversation gets to. I like to show I am a normal person, easy to get on with etc. Some ( a very few) of my stock questions will be about business, to hopefully elicit a need for advice etc. but this part is pretty low key.
I have slowly developed this "method" over the last 2 years or so and have been reasonably successful at attracting new clients, 88 ("cost centres") in the last 24 months.
It takes time to build up the know / like / trust curve.
Hope that helps a bit.
Balancing Online and Offline networking
I like to combine the two, I find offline face to face networking more stimulating and enjoyable.
It is people I like, and I like to meet them face to face when I can.
Online is a tool and I find it efficient, face to face networking consumes much more "time per head". It also enables me to have a global perspective, useful in my business.
Balancing the two is also what I find an enjoyable challenge, and it is a fluid balance that tends to shift with the natural flow of work. Sometimes I am out meeting people and travelling, other times I am behind the screen for long periods of time.
I see integration as the way to help the balancing act. I aim to integrate my processes so when I meet people I often ask them if they are on LinkedIn and suggest that we connect, from that connection online there are many processes I go through with that contact.
Integration is also part of taking part in local groups online, which then have formal meetings organised around the online group, I see this as an increasing trend and it is very useful for well targeted networking.
It needs to be 'joined-up' networking rather than just on-line o
I could write masses and masses here, on why the most successful networkers don't see any boundaries when they are networking. They are always open to opportunities whether through their personal or professional network. In fact they don't have a personal or a professional network, they just have a network. They also don't see the limitations of on-line or off-line, they use the best tool for the job.
As a rule of thumb, hang out where your people well connected to your target market hang out. This may be at a local event, or on an internet forums.
Use as many touch points as possible to maintain and nurture the connection. LinkedIn & Twitter are easy & quick ways to generate multiple touch points. Use telephone, skype and face-to-face meetings to personalise and deepen the relationship.
The right balance for you depends on your target market, your ability to use social networking tools and the time and opportunity you have to network.

That last version of verlaat has him as Silver Emperor I believe. I ran the card text through about 5 online translators and they all come back silver not solar so does he rename himself or something? i imagine he names himself emperor, since he is unifying lavato under his rule.
As you noted, look at the transition he makes from baby faced adolescent in the opening struggle to a tense hardened ruler in the last illustration.
Maybe rather than uniting Lavato under the name of Solar Kingdom Emperor, he united them under the name of Silver Emperor. Just a simple name change can make assimilation easier after all, since that means the assimilated people are not indirectly ruled by an old glorious kingdom, SK, but a new kingdom for unifying purpose.

May 5, 2016
The Onslow County Sheriff's Office said on Friday that after a week long investigation, they have pinpointed the culprit behind the Facebook threat of violence at Swansboro Middle School on Monday: a 15-year-old girl.
Parents of middle school students told WITN on Monday morning they received an automatic call generated from the school saying they had received word of a social media threat to the middle school, and would respond by having extra deputies on campus. That day, witnesses tell us several parents opted to pull their children from Swansboro Middle School for the day. Classes were not cancelled.
Deputies said on Friday afternoon, an investigator shared evidence with a 15-year-old female student at Northside High School. Deputies said that student openly admitted to the investigator she had made the threat.
The student, whose name has not been released due to her age, will be charged in a Juvenile Petition with making a false threat concerning mass violence on educational property.
A news release from the Onslow County Sheriff's office said evidence indicated early on the threat came from a small group of students and there was not immediate, real threat to the middle school.

The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.

This page is being considered for renaming to Delacour. If you disagree with this proposal, please explain why at Category talk:Candidates for renaming.
M. Delacour is a French wizard married to half-Veela witch Apolline Delacour, with whom he has two daughters, Fleur and Gabrielle. He is described as short and plump with a pointed black beard, and "nowhere near as attractive as his wife". However, he is very pleasant and helpful.
With his wife, he came to the the Burrow in the summer of 1997 for Fleur's wedding to Bill Weasley, where they assisted with the preparations. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, he was seen listening to Kingsley's Patronus.
Through his oldest daughter Fleur and his son-in-law Bill, he is the maternal grandfather of Victoire, Dominique and Louis Weasley.

Jaeger-LeCoultre celebrates art and craftsmanship at the 67th Venice International Film Festival, the Mostra.
This year, Jaeger-LeCoultre pays special homage to some of the finest Métiers d'Art in the heart of La Serenissima, the City of the Doges, for the 67th Venice Mostra, sponsored by Jaeger-LeCoultre for the sixth consecutive year. The Brand will present four exceptional timepieces, each of which, in its own way, displays an aspect of the Manufacture's state of the expertise in the traditional metiers d'art of high watchmaking. Two of these timepieces are featured in original short films. The first focuses on the art of gem-setting, perfectly epitomized by the Rose Blanche, with a journey through the workshops of the Manufacture from conception to its final creation, guaranteed to enchant women enamoured with the glitter and beauty of Haute Joaillerie. In another short film, Haute Horlogerie enthusiasts will appreciate the arts of enamelling and engraving in the Venice special edition of the Master Grande Tradition Grande Complication: whose mechanism is as sublime as the signs of the zodiac worked into the enamel. This piece was unveiled at the Jaeger-LeCoultre Night at the Mostra on 7 September 2010. In addition, a special article and interview revealing real insights into the art of enamelling will be posted in the LeClub Blog from 7th September, including an exclusive interview with Miklos Merckzel, Jaeger-LeCoultre's master enameller.

|editMebuki Haruno
|春野メブキ Haruno Mebuki
|Naruto Shippūden Episode #271
|Road to Ninja: Naruto the Movie
|Appears in
|Anime, Movie
|Voice Actors
Mebuki Haruno (春野メブキ, Haruno Mebuki) is a kunoichi of Konohagakure, and the wife of Kizashi and mother of Sakura Haruno. She is also a member of the Allied Mothers Force.
Mebuki seems to be a kind and caring woman, seen from her concern over her daughter's then-confused states. In contrast to her light-hearted husband, she is much more serious.
Mebuki is a tall, fair skinned woman with shoulder-length, blonde hair with a single bang which falls down into her face. She also has green eyes and wears a white qipao dress with three red circular designs at the bottom of the front of her dress as well as the back. Underneath the dress, she wears pink ¾-length pants along with brown sandals.
Mebuki's alternate-world self was seen wearing the standard Konoha-nin attire complete with flak jacket.
In the anime, it is shown that Mebuki can use taijutsu, seen when she was able to defeating a sumo wrestler with a single kick. She could also fight with unnatural weapons like a pan.[1]
Part II
Road to Sakura
Main article: Road to Sakura
After coming home from a sale across town with her husband, Mebuki found Ino Yamanaka and a seemingly confused Sakura. Seeing the familiar faces, Sakura was initially shocked and confused but later runs off in tears to their confusion. When Kizashi gave her back the necklace she had lost and produced one similar to it from around his neck, Sakura tearfully hugged the two, confusing them more. Despite this, her parents depart, leaving her with Ino, and telling their daughter to come home later.
Shinobi World War Arc
With the majority of the shinobi away from the village, Ebisu gathers the women and children of Konoha where he discusses their current situation. When the Sumo Wrestlers attack the village, she, and the other mothers drove them off and watched on as Konohamaru defeated them with a Rasengan.[1]
Naruto 6: Road to Ninja
Within the alternate world's history, Mebuki and Kizashi are long deceased when the Sakura of that world was a child.
- Mebuki can be translated as "budding" (芽吹).
- Though she did not originate from the manga, Mebuki's character and designs were created by Masashi Kishimoto himself, due to being personally involved in the making of Naruto 6: Road to Ninja.
- In Naruto episode 3, episode 55 and episode 83, Mebuki can be heard calling Sakura before her début.

For many years, the library's musical collection consisted mostly of jazz, world and classical music. Over the past 6 or 7 years we've really added to that mix, many popular, alternative, hip hop, and rhythm and blues titles. We still continue to order symphonic, choral, opera, baroque and postmodern music but not nearly with the emphasis we once had given the popularity of Top 40 artists. Having said that, classical music lovers, including myself, will likely be able to find what they're looking for. Here are some of my favorites, all of which we currently own. Stop in and browse the collection. Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 5 (Adagietto) Erik Satie's Trois Gymnopédies J.S. Bach's Sleepers Awake Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata Karl Jenkins' Agnus Dei Philip Glass' Company Ralph Vaughan Williams' Five Variants of Dives and Lazarus Henryk Gorecki's Symphony No. 3

Longtime Vol State Professor Gives Commencement Address
Submitted on May 05, 2012 at 11:39 AM
The fortieth annual commencement ceremony at Volunteer State Community College was held Saturday and it featured a feisty and well-respected professor. Dr. Robert Ruff is retiring this year after 39 years of service with Vol State. He worked closely with student clubs and organizations throughout his career, both as advisor and mentor. He is best known for his tough and energetic social science classes. He spoke of his path to teaching and had some advice for the graduates
"As you graduate and as you decide what you will do with your life, make sure it is a passion. Make sure it's something you like to do," said Ruff.
The class was the largest ever at the college with more than 1400 graduates. Thousands of graduates, loved ones, friends and well-wishers filled the Pickel Field House for the ceremony. Hiba Ghanem of Hendersonville was named the Outstanding Graduate for 2012. The education major was lauded for her community service and dedication to the field.
Sixty-nine year-old Helen McBride of Hendersonville walked the stage to receive her degree. She made the decision to attend college after her husband passed away in 2007. She plans to present her 91 year-old mother with the degree, the first of its kind in her family.
"I just said- I'm going to college. It's something I always wanted to do my entire life and I'm doing it now," said McBride. "Being involved with these students, mostly younger people, was great. Their outlook is amazing. They taught me so much and I think I taught them some things as well. The interaction was amazing."
Volunteer State Community college has more than 70 programs of study and offers two-year degrees, certificates and paths to university transfer. For more information visit www.volstate.edu

LEWISTON, N.Y. - You probably know that Hamburg lays claim to the title of "birthplace of the hamburger", but did you know that a Western New York community claims to have given birth to the cocktail?
In the early 1800's, one of the favorite places in the Village of Lewiston was Hustler's Tavern. It was so popular that in 1813, when the British forces came across the Niagara River to burn down Lewiston in retaliation of the U.S. attack on Niagara-On-The-Lake, Hustler's Tavern was the only building they spared.
Around that time, the American troops brought Catherine Hustler, the tavern-keeper, several roosters and hens taken in their raid on the British. They asked her to roast them for a victory dinner. As she plucked the birds, she placed the tail feathers in mugs and glasses on the bar. Legend has it that one of the soldiers asked Catherine for a drink in one of the glasses with a cock's tail feather, and the name was born.
Catherine continued to serve a drinkcontaining a cock's tail. She called it a "gin mixture that warms the body and soul and is fit to be served in a vessel of diamonds".
The local tradition may have gone unnoticed, had it not been for the extended visit of James Fenimore Cooper. While he was in Lewiston, he wrote his book "The Spy". It is considered the first widely distributed novel in American history. He based part of the story on his hosts, the Hustlers, and even used the term "cocktail" in the book.
Another unknown story of Western New York.

KRIS JENNER is often accused of pimping out her daughters. But was she an ACTUAL PIMP?
--There's a rumor going around today that Kris was actually behind KIM KARDASHIAN'S sex tape. And she even made Kim and RAY J re-shoot it because the first one wasn't good enough.
--This "information" comes from a woman named Myla Sinanaj. KRIS HUMPHRIES nailed her after he and Kim broke up. She says Humphries told her about Kris Jenner's involvement in the tape.
--Just how serious Humphries and Myla were is causing some commotion in Kris and Kim's divorce proceedings.
--Myla claims they were quite serious. And Humphries wants her to SHUT UP about that, because it makes him look like a scumbag who moved on from Kim immediately, rather than someone who was backstabbed, dumbfounded and heartbroken when Kim left him.
--Kim's lawyers may very well want to talk to Myla before their divorce battle hits the courtroom. But Humphries says Myla was just a BOOTY CALL.
Did "The View" Give Whoopi Goldberg More Paid Vacation Days for Her "Barbara Fatigue"?
The "National Enquirer" reports that WHOOPI GOLDBERG and BARBARA WALTERS are engaged in a, quote, "BLOOD FEUD." (--Which would still sound melodramatic even if they were literally holding knives to each other's throats.)
--And it's so bad that Whoopi almost left "The View".
--A "source" says, quote, "Whoopi despises Barbara so much that Whoopi almost didn't sign [a] new contract.
--"But ABC really wanted her to stay on as moderator, so they offered her 10 paid 'mental health' days as a perk to use when she's having 'Barbara fatigue.'"
"American Idol" Runner-Up Jessica Sanchez Is in Talks to Guest Star on Multiple Episodes of "Glee"
"American Idol" runner-up JESSICA SANCHEZ is in talks to guest star on "multiple episodes" of "Glee" next season. Assuming everything goes through, she'll make her debut midway through the show's upcoming fourth season.
--There are no details on her character yet.
--She would join SARAH JESSICA PARKER and KATE HUDSON, who previously signed on to do a few episodes this coming season.
Wham! Is Not Reuniting for Their 30th Anniversary Next Week
GEORGE MICHAEL says he has NO PLANS to reunite with ANDREW RIDGELEY for a WHAM! concert next weekend.
--This was in response to a report in Britain's "Daily Mirror" tabloid, which claimed that they were reuniting for a "one-off pop extravaganza" to mark the 30th anniversary of their first hit single, "Wham Rap! (Enjoy What You Do)".
--Obviously, this is a crushing blow to gullible Wham! fans everywhere . . . but on the bright side, George is releasing a new solo single called "White Light" next week.
Would You Be Interested in a Giant KISS Photo Book . . . for $4,300?
KISS is accepting pre-orders for a new oversized photo book called "Monster".
--The book itself is a monster . . . it's three feet tall. And it'll also take a monster bite out of your wallet. It costs . . . are you ready for this? $4,299!
--Before you get too hysterical, you should know two things: One, shipping is free. (???) Two, if you act fast and order one of the first 75 copies . . . you'll get a discount and "only" have to pay $3,499.
--In all, they're only making 1,000 copies of this book. So, it'll remain collectible . . . and KISS will still end up making around $4 MILLION off it . . . if they all sell.
Jeff Daniels Says the "Dumb & Dumber" Sequel Isn't Happening
It was pretty obvious when JIM CARREY backed out of the "Dumb & Dumber" sequel that it wasn't going to happen. But JEFF DANIELS made it clear when a paparazzi scumbag asked him about it Wednesday night.
--He said, quote, "It's on the Internet, we're not doing it . . . It's all over the Internet. It's not happening."

Sometimes I make a experimental file and gonna try it out for first time, and I draw super duper hard counter to it. I shrug it off and search for next opponent.
Nowadays I sometimes tempted to press give up button whenever I saw a deck that most likely will kill my file HARD.
Bonus point if that file is able to defeat me before turn 10, and I need the battle to last turn 10.
Generally nothing hurt my file worse than facing Gowen Rush/EN/Pixie/Spyclone/file played by bloodlust player.
I happened to experience several times even after they say they agree to wait until turn 10 to iczer me, they iczer me to 0 LP before turn 10.
That happened to me too many times than I prefer.
At the beginning, I even purposelessly doesn't set any card at all.
Now I stop believe those player will fulfill their word, and believe more in my stalling file if I need turn 10 battle.
Sometimes I still find kind player that fulfill their promise to wait until turn 10 though...
Of course, I still want win counted for mission/ 5o f 7.
As it's more likely to win/people rage quit before turn 10 than I can't survive until turn 10.

MORRISVILLE, Pa. -- Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is making an 11th-hour push to win Pennsylvania.
Two days before the election, Romney on Sunday rallied thousands of people in the cold, telling voters he's going to win here. He was over an hour late, prompting some people to flee freezing cold temperatures before he started speaking.
The Republican nominee has visited Pennsylvania during the general election campaign, but began making a significant play here last week. His campaign has bought millions in TV advertising and scheduled the late rally in the Philadelphia suburbs just a few days in advance.

(I was honored when he sent me an autographed copy of his excellent The Cunning Blood – a book I thoroughly enjoyed – back when the new Turbo products were released.)

(written from a Production point of view)
Eugene Wesley Roddenberry (19 August 1921 – 24 October 1991; age 70), sometimes referred to as the "Great Bird of the Galaxy" is best known as the creator of the science fiction television series Star Trek, beginning the long running Star Trek franchise. Roddenberry's remains (some of his ashes in a small capsule, about the size of a lipstick) were the first to be launched into Earth's orbit, where they orbited the Earth until they burned up while reentering the Earth's atmosphere.
Gene Roddenberry quotes
"I had insisted on half women on board [the Enterprise]. The network came to me and said, 'You can't have half women. Our people say it will make it look like a ship with all sorts of mad sexual things going on – half men and half women.' So we argued about it like a poker game and they finally said, 'Okay. We'll settle for one-third women.' I figured one-third women could take care of the males anyway."
- - Eugene Wesley Roddenberry, from personal conversations with Gene in 1990, at La Costa, CA (as cited by Susan Sackett, used with permission)
Early life
Roddenberry was born in El Paso, Texas, on 19 August 1921 to Caroline Glen Roddenberry and Eugene Edward Roddenberry, and spent his childhood in the city of Los Angeles. His father was a police officer, whom he described as a "bigoted Texan". (Inside Star Trek: The Real Story, p 14)
In his high school days, a classmate lent him a copy of Astounding Stories, which was to be the start of Roddenberry's fascination with science fiction. (The Making of Star Trek) He studied three years of policemanship and then transferred his academic interest to aeronautical engineering and qualified for a pilot's license. He volunteered for the United States Army Air Corps, and was ordered into training as a flying cadet when the United States entered the Second World War in 1941.
Ordered to the South Pacific, Second Lieutenant Roddenberry flew missions against enemy strongholds. In all, he took part in approximately 89 missions and sorties. He was decorated with the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal.
It was in the South Pacific where he first began writing. He sold stories to flying magazines, and later poetry to publications, including The New York Times. When the war ended, he joined the Pan American World Airways. During this time, he also studied literature at Columbia University.
Roddenberry married his first wife, Eileen Anita Rexroat on 20 June 1942.
He continued flying until he saw television for the first time. Correctly estimating television's future, he realized this new medium would need writers. He acted immediately, he went to Hollywood. He left his flying career behind, a decision aided by a 1949 incident, when Roddenberry's Pan Am airplane crashed in the Syrian Desert, leaving only him and seven others surviving (The Star Trek Compendium, p 7). Although the accident really happened, Roddenberry largely exaggerated it in later life, claiming that he single-handedly rescued the survivors from the wreckage, fought raiding Arab tribesmen, and walked across the desert to the nearest phone and call for help. (Inside Star Trek: The Real Story, p 14)
Roddenberry arrived in Hollywood only to find television industry still in its infancy, with few openings for inexperienced writers. He joined the Los Angeles Police Department. While working his way up the LAPD ranks, he wrote his first script in 1951. Later he sold scripts to shows such as Goodyear Theater, The Kaiser Aluminum Hour, Four Star Theater, Dragnet, The Jane Wyman Theater, and Naked City. Established as a writer, Sergeant Roddenberry turned in his badge and became a full-time writer in 1956. (Star Trek Creator, p 141)
In 1963, Roddenberry began producing his first television series, The Lieutenant at MGM. The Lieutenant co-starred Gary Lockwood, and included many future Star Trek-alumni in guest roles, such as Leonard Nimoy, Majel Barrett, Nichelle Nichols, James Gregory and Madlyn Rhue. However, the series lasted only one season, and was cancelled in the spring of 1964.

When The Lieutenant ended, Roddenberry began planning for his next series, a science fiction-adventure show entitled Star Trek. He wrote his series proposal, Star Trek is..., in March 1964. Initially proposed for MGM, the studio, although initially enthusiastic, refused to buy it. (The Star Trek Compendium, p 10) Finally Roddenberry sold his idea to Oscar Katz and Herb Solow of Desilu in April 1964. (Inside Star Trek: The Real Story, pp 15-16)
In 1965, Roddenberry also produced two other pilots for Desilu: The Long Hunt of April Savage, a western created by Sam Rolfe, starring Robert Lansing, and Police Story, featuring DeForest Kelley and Grace Lee Whitney. However, neither of them were picked up to become a series.
The first pilot was rejected by the network, pronounced "too cerebral". Once on the air, however, Star Trek developed a loyal following. Influenced by a fan write-in campaign, NASA even named its prototype space shuttle Enterprise, in recognition of the ship that Roddenberry conceived for the series.
After the Star Trek series ended, Roddenberry produced several motion pictures, and also made a number of pilots for television. Roddenberry served as a member of the Writers Guild Executive Council and as a Governor of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. He held three honorary doctorate degrees: Doctor of Humane Letters from Emerson College (1977), Doctor of Literature from Union College in Los Angeles, and Doctor of Science from Clarkson University in Potsdam, New York (1981).
For Star Trek's 25th anniversary, two months before his death, Roddenberry gave TV Guide a list of his top ten favorite episodes. One might assume that these most clearly represented his vision of what Star Trek should be:
- "Amok Time"
- "Balance of Terror"
- "The City on the Edge of Forever"
- "The Devil in the Dark"
- "The Enemy Within"
- "The Menagerie, Part I" and "The Menagerie, Part II"
- "The Naked Time"
- "The Return of the Archons"
- "Where No Man Has Gone Before"
- "The Trouble with Tribbles"
Other works
After the original Star Trek ended, Roddenberry ventured on numerous other projects, most of them turning out to be failures. In 1968, Roddenberry was contracted to write and produce two feature films for National General Pictures, but the films were never made. (Inside Star Trek: The Real Story, p 406) He wrote the screenplay for Roger Vadim's 1971 film, Pretty Maids All in a Row, which featured James Doohan, William Campbell and his daughter, Dawn Roddenberry in the cast.
In 1973, he wrote and produced a science fiction pilot entitled Genesis II, which featured Mariette Hartley, Ted Cassidy, Percy Rodriguez and his wife, Majel Barrett in the cast, costumes by William Ware Theiss, and was photographed by Jerry Finnerman. It was not picked up as a series, and a year later Roddenberry made another pilot out of the same idea, titled Planet Earth. This time Robert Justman served as producer, Marc Daniels as director, and the cast included Diana Muldaur, Ted Cassidy, Majel Barrett, Craig Hundley, Patricia Smith, and again costumes by Theiss. However, this pilot wasn't picked up by the network either.
The same year, Roddenberry made another failed sci-fi pilot, The Questor Tapes, which starred Robert Foxworth as an android, Questor, searching for his origins and creator. The pilot was directed by Richard Colla and also featured Majel Barrett and Walter Koenig. It was co-written by fellow Star Trek producer Gene L. Coon. The Questor Tapes was not picked up as a series, although its basic concept was reworked into the character of Data in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Before returning to Trek, Roddenberry made a fourth unsuccessful TV pilot, Spectre in 1977, about a detective involved in witchcraft and other occult phenomenons. This pilot was co-written by Samuel A. Peeples, and again featured Majel Barrett.
The series that never was
By June 1977, Star Trek was to become a television series again, after the success of the original Star Trek. Paramount attempted to launch a new series, tentatively titled Star Trek: Phase II. Construction on the sets started in July, and the writers' and directors' guide was published in August. The original cast, except for Leonard Nimoy, returned to reprise their roles, along with several new characters, such as Lt. Xon, who would be taking Spock's place, first officer Willard Decker, and navigator Lt. Ilia.
As work was being finished on the sets and costumes, Paramount abandoned the plans. Probably influenced by the success of Star Wars, they decided to turn the television series into Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
The Next Generation
In September 1987, Star Trek: The Next Generation continued the legend that Roddenberry began 25 years prior with Star Trek, the original series. This new show offered Roddenberry the technical possibilities and the budget to realize his vision.
On 6 June 1991 shortly before celebrating the 100th episode of The Next Generation the Producers Building at the former Desilu studio lot was renamed "Gene Roddenberry Building". Then Paramount Television Group president Mel Harris held a speech and during the ceremony William Shatner and Patrick Stewart said a few words about Roddenberry.
On 24 October 1991, Gene Roddenberry passed away, succumbing to cardiac arrest. At the time of his passing, Roddenberry was survived by his wife Majel Barrett, their son Eugene Roddenberry Jr., his two grown daughters from a previous marriage, Dawn Roddenberry and Darleen Roddenberry, and two grandchildren.
The ashes of Roddenberry were aboard the space shuttle Columbia during its start from the Kennedy Space Center on 22 October 1992.
Eugene Roddenberry, Jr. currently heads the Roddenberry.com website which is also the main site for Lincoln Enterprises), and is "Consulting Producer" for the fan film series Star Trek: New Voyages.
The legacy of Star Trek, as created by Gene Roddenberry, continued to grow as the newest series, Star Trek: Enterprise, joined Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager. Star Trek: The Next Generation evolved into a feature film series, debuting in 1994 with Star Trek Generations.
Other shows of Roddenberry's design include Earth: Final Conflict and Andromeda, which was based on a 1973 pilot he produced called Genesis II (with Mariette Hartley, Majel Barrett, Percy Rodriguez and Ted Cassidy) and its 1974 re-working Planet Earth (with Barrett, Cassidy, Diana Muldaur, and Craig Hundley).
Roddenberry canon
A minority of purist fans advocate a "Roddenberry canon" to denote what episodes Star Trek's creator approved of as "official." Defining such a concept is elusive, as Roddenberry was known to change his views over the years. The Original Series would seem to be part of this canon, comprising 79 episodes, plus the un-aired pilot ("The Cage"). He rejected The Animated Series as apocryphal, along with elements of two films, Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. At the time of his death, 110 episodes of The Next Generation had completed production, from "Encounter at Farpoint" through "New Ground". This leaves 190 episodes of Star Trek as part of the supposed Roddenberry canon, along with the first four films, and most of films five and six. Adhering to this view would mean rejecting 536 episodes, as well as at least four films, as there have been 726 episodes of Star Trek produced to date, along with eleven motion pictures with a twelfth currently in production.
- Gene Roddenberry had a second cousin twice removed named Mary Sue Roddenberry. Ironically, and probably by sheer coincidence, the widespread fan fiction term "Mary Sue", which is used to describe overly perfect original female characters, has its origins in the person of Lt. Mary Sue, a character in the satirical 1974 short Star Trek story by Paula Smith called "A Trekkie's Tale".
- Roddenberry gave his middle name to one of the characters of Star Trek: The Next Generation – Wesley Crusher. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion, p. 14) His middle name was also used as the last name of the TOS character Robert Wesley, which was also a pseudonym Roddenberry used in his early writing career. (Star Trek Encyclopedia 1st ed., p. 374) In addition, after his death, the creators of "Star Trek: Voyager" used Roddenberry's full first name as the middle name of reformed renegade officer Thomas Eugene Paris. (Star Trek Encyclopedia 3rd ed., p. 348)
- In "The Big Goodbye", an illustration of Gene Roddenberry was seen when Data was assimilating the Dixon Hill novels. This illustration was the copy of a photo of Gene Roddenberry.
Roddenberry receives a "Created by" credit on episodes of TOS and TNG. In addition he is credited on all episodes of DS9, VOY, and ENT, all the movies, and many Star Trek computer games such as the Elite Force series and Star Trek: Bridge Commander, via the phrase "Based upon Star Trek, created by Gene Roddenberry".
The credits for Star Trek end with "In memory of Gene Roddenberry and Majel Barrett Roddenberry".
Roddenberry also receives credit for writing lyrics to the TOS main title theme, although these lyrics were never recorded in connection with the series. In the book Inside Star Trek: The Real Story, Herb Solow and Robert Justman allege that Roddenberry, who had no musical experience of any kind, wrote words to Alexander Courage's theme for the show solely to accrue royalties that were required to be paid to the lyricist. In doing so, he effectively cut Courage's royalties in half, as the composer would otherwise have received all royalties accruing from the theme. Courage was outraged on this, and refused to compose music for the series until the third season.
Roddenberry also credited himself as the co-author of the reference book The Making of Star Trek, which was written by Stephen E. Whitfield, and given to Roddenberry to make his corrections and edits, but he had no time to do it because of production deadlines. (Inside Star Trek: The Real Story)

One Earth Designs (OED) is a social enterprise located in Boston, Massachusetts, Hong Kong, Beijing, and Xining, western China. OED is an environmental technology company collaborating with Himalayan communities to promote environmental health and incubate local innovation and entrepreneurship. One of their primary projects is the SolSource 3-in-1, a portable, affordable, parabolic-type solar concentrator. It has been designed to cook, generate electricity, and heat materials for space heating. It can also be dismantled as quickly as a hiking tent and transported from home to field for the mid-day meal.Other work includes research into low-cost water testing, heat-retaining phase-change technology, and general support of education initiatives in the Himalayan Plateau.
OED has been widely recognized for its innovation by such prestigious awards as: the Dutch Postcode Lottery Green Challenge, U.S. EPA's People, Prosperity & the Planet Award, MIT's IDEAS and $100K Social Entrepreneurship Competitions, the Muhammad Yunus Innovation Award, and the Lemelson Foundation's International Technology Award.
News and recent developments
- November 2012: One Earth Designs (OED) introduces their new parabolic solar cooker - Working with rural communities in western China, One Earth Designs, a Beijing/Hong Kong-based company, founded by Americans Catlin Powers and Scot Frank, has developed the SolSource S1, a portable parabolic solar cooker designed for use by nomadic communities. The S1 can boil a liter of water in ten minutes. Durable and weather resistant materials ensure a longer lifespan. It has a total weight of 18 kilos including a sturdy base design capable of withstanding the high winds typically encountered in the Himalayas. OED's other solar cooker design, the SolSource S2 will be the world's first temperature adjustable solar cooker with six discrete settings up to 1,000 degrees Celsius. It will provide users with the capacity to generate electricity, heat their homes, purify their water and cook with stored solar energy at night or on cloudy days.
- February 2011: A photo of a recent version of the SolSource 3-in-1 parabolic cooker.
- February 2011: A team led by inventor Scot Frank has landed a spot in an entrepreneurial boot camp hosted by a group called the Unreasonable Institute. With the help of sixty world-class investors and entrepreneurs at this summer's institute in Boulder, Colo., Frank hopes to bring the SolSource 3-in-1 stove to a mass market. Worldwide, pollution from combustion stoves used indoors sickens and kills more than 1 million every year. Many victims are children. More Information...
- September, 2010: The SolSource solar oven wins 500K EU in the Green Challenge. Once again the SolSource 3-in-1 has impressed the jury, and won the Dutch, Postcode Lottery Green Challenge. The Postcode Lottery Green Challenge award is a startup competition run by the Dutch Postcode Lottery with 500,000 EU ($666,200 US) up for grabs for the winner and 200,000 EU ($260,500 US) for the runner-up. All entries must have the potential to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions in a measurable fashion. From an impressive field of young entrepreneurs, the jury chose 25-year old Scot Frank of One Earth Designs as the winner for his company's SolSource solar oven. The SolSource 3-in-1 combination is a solar cooker, heater, and electricity generator. It was inspired by the time Frabj spent in the Himalayas (the product has been tested there for 3 years), where women spend many hours a day collecting dung and wood fuels for cooking and heating. This process leads to deforestation, and many tribes in the Himalayas are rapidly running out of their traditional fuel sources. Families also breathe toxic indoor air pollution from the fire. Indoor air pollution is one of the world's biggest killers of children under five, claiming 1.6 million lives per year. More Information...

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- Groups challenging Republican-drawn redistricting maps before the N.C. Supreme Court are pushing for the recusal of a conservative justice who won reelection with the aide of nearly $2 million in political ads paid for by GOP-aligned organizations.
A legal motion filed Wednesday says Justice Paul Newby should recuse himself from deciding the redistricting case because the outsized partisan spending on his reelection campaign undermines his impartiality. State judicial races are technically non-partisan, but Newby is a registered Republican whose reelection relied heavily on support from some of the same GOP leaders named as defendants in the redistricting lawsuit.
The North Carolina chapter of the NAACP and others have sued top Republican lawmakers over 2011 congressional and state legislative maps the left-leaning groups contend are illegally gerrymandered to favor GOP candidates.

But among those who did, a handful managed to get a signed edition. And that could mean a lot of money.
Rowling spokeswoman Nicky Stonehill told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Rowling, the "Harry Potter" author, signed "a few copies" of her detective novel as "Robert Galbraith." Wishing to keep her identity secret, Rowling made no promotional appearances for the book and published quietly in April. Stonehill declined to say how any reader obtained a signed copy.
Bids for a signed first edition topped $3,000 on eBay by Tuesday evening.
"Yes, those books will have value," said Angel Webster of Bauman Rare Books in Manhattan. "The first edition is already a scarce commodity, and she only signed a handful of them under vague circumstances."
Webster added that it was too soon to know how much money a signed first edition might be worth. Signed first editions of the first "Harry Potter" book, published in 1997 in England as "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone," are worth thousands of dollars.
Webster said the value of a signed "Cuckoo's Calling" will depend on how well the novel ends up selling and whether it becomes the first book of a series.
"The Cuckoo's Calling" received favorable reviews when it first came out but attracted little attention from the general public.
"We're in the same boat as other bookstores in this country—out and waiting for reprints," said Gayle Shanks, co-founder of Changing Hands Bookstore in Tempe, Ariz.
The novel features London detective Cormoran Strike. Little, Brown has announced that a second Strike novel is planned for next summer.
