Amazing Doctor and Staff - Jacksonville, FL
Posted by Mrs. KJL
Tummy Tuck
I had a breast reduction by Dr. Nezami in 1996 and based on that experience and outcome I knew that when I was ready for my Tummy Tuck he was the guy. He was very honest and forthcoming about the procedure, prepping me for the recovery time and his expectations of me as a patient.My confidence in all aspects of my life has soared. I recommend Dr. Nezami to all of my friends and coworkers!

Wonderful Physician - Jacksonville, FL
Posted by D T
Excellent physician and support staff. He was referred to me by a friend. Dr. Nezami is a wonderful, caring and skilled physician. He and his office staff took a great deal of time explaining the procedure and helping me choose the perfect shape and size for my body type. The results look and feel extremely natural. The same care was given pre-op, during surgery, post -op and follow up appointments. I wouldn't hesistate to recommend him to any of my family or friends.

Dr. Nezami did a fantastic job on my tummy tuck. He set realistic expecations so that there were no suprises. His office is run smoothly. His staff are wonderful. The fact that his office is attached physically to Baptist Medical and that I was able to stay overnight gave me even more confidence that all safety concerns would and could be taken care of.

Hundreds of bands have soared to rarely seen heights only to be rebuffed just as quickly, but few did quite as exceptionally as dada. Nearly unavoidable when "Dizz Knee Land" hit the airwaves in the early '90s, they found the industry and public less receptive to their ensuing ideas. Read the rest of this entry »

Very comfortable and very warm, took two pairs of snow boots with me but the other pair never left the suitcase, as these did everything I needed.

G-Men Defectives
nytheatre.com review by Michael Criscuolo
March 9, 2007
Remember those old sketches on The Tonight Show where Johnny Carson and his cohorts would amuse themselves so much that they'd all just crack up and start ad-libbing? If so, then you have a good idea of what Ray Besharah and Matthew Domville's new comedy, G-Men Defectives, is all about. Billed as a G-man training session, this comic two-hander is more an opportunity for the authors (who also appear in the show) to unleash their anarchic brand of humor on the world. Taken on its own terms, there's much to be charmed by here.
Besharah and Domville play Garfield and Marmaduke, two pompous bumbling G-men in charge of training new recruits (i.e., the audience) to sniff out commies anywhere. Their lesson plan plays out over several episodic sketches that quickly get off track and never get back on. Garfield and Marmaduke debate the virtues of pie versus donuts; they amusingly recount how they first met each other, and later how they almost died in each other's arms (they got shot trying to eat some pie).
There's also lots of audience participation. The two G-men weed out a commie amongst the trainees (a not-completely-amused older couple in the second row on the night I attended), manage to score a ride home after the show (from the cast of fellow FRIGID show Can't Get Started no less), and bring a lucky trainee on stage to punch one of them in the stomach (yours truly on the evening in question).
On a craft level, G-Men Defectives feels as if it's almost always on the verge of falling apart. Besharah and Domville look as if they've put this show together completely unsupervised, and it often feels like the audience is watching them rehearse. This approach may leave some skeptical at first (myself included) until one realizes that the show's casual-to-the-point-of-collapsing vibe is exactly what the creators are aiming for. After that, G-Men Defectives is easy to enjoy.
Anyone who likes their humor low and silly will like this show. And, if you're if a good trainee, as I was, you'll even get to take a bow at curtain call. In keeping with their unorthodox methods, Besharah and Domville are not above sharing the spotlight with others.

With wins in the decathlon, the 110-meter hurdles and the 400 meters and two other top-three finishes, Chaz Hawkins helped pace Centennial to the Section 3-AAA boys team title Thursday at Kenwood
Franklin kept its unbeaten boys soccer season going with a 2-0 win over Ravenwood Thursday in the Region 6-AAA championship.
Deon Sanders' bases-loaded single in the eighth gave Centennial the Region 6-AAA baseball championship 4-3 over Brentwood.
Justin Lankes made a run at the state pole vault record Wednesday before settling for a school record, as the Ravenwood junior cleared 15 feet, 7 inches during the Section 3-AAA meet.
In its first regional baseball appearance since 2004, Centennial beat McGavock 4-2 in the 6-AAA semifinal Monday to clinch the Cougars' first sectional appearance since 2003.
Former Franklin star Corban Joseph made his major-league debut with the New York Yankees in a doubleheader split at Cleveland on Monday.
After scraping by to reach the District 11-AAA baseball championship game, Centennial was more than pleased to beat Ravenwood 5-0 on Saturday.
Centennial was on the brink of elimination twice on Thursday, but the Cougars found a way to play another day.
Ravenwood ended the season of defending boys state soccer champion Brentwood 2-0 in the semifinals of the District 11-AAA tournament.
Tony Hill will replace Steve Edmondson as coach of the Centennial High School Lady Cougars.
With nine seniors and a new coach, Franklin has had one of its best boys soccer seasons in years.
Why do student golfers expect to make shots that few pros can make?
Former Franklin star Corban Joseph stepped into a major league dugout for the first time during a regular-season game when New York played host to Houston on Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium. However, Joseph did not get into the game.
Mike Woodward, who posted a 38-37 record in seven seasons at Antioch, has been named football coach at Brentwood.

sensual •\ˈsen(t)-sh(ə-)wəl, -shəl\• adjective
1. marked by the appetites and passions of the body
The word sensual has appeared in 547 New York Times articles in the past year, including on Oct. 28 in the Opinion piece "A Matter of Taste?" by William Deresiewicz:
I used to think, back when all the foodie stuff was gathering steam (this would have been about 1994, when everyone was eating arugula and going on about, I don't know, first-press organic broccoli rabe) that our newfound taste for food would lead, in time, to a taste for art.
Americans were discovering their senses — learning to value pleasure, distinguish subtle differences, and make fine judgments — and sensual responsiveness is the basis of artistic sensibility. Maybe we were finally on our way to Old World sophistication.

INTRODUCTION.This chapter is regarded by some writers as one of the earliest revelations of the Qurán. I can find for this opinion no other reason than that the words with which it begins, and from which it receives its title, have a somewhat striking similarity to those which are found in the first verse of chapter lxxiv., which, on all hands, is admitted to be one of the earliest parts of the Qurán. This theory, however, is disproved by the following facts:—(1) Ver. 10 speaks of enemies of the Prophet, contumelies, and opposition, which did not exist at so early a period; (2) vers. 10 and 11 exhort the Prophet to withdraw from the infidels and to leave them in the hands of God; moreover, (3), the statements concerning the punishment of hell and the destruction of Pharaoh point to a later date. The object of the chapter seems to have been the stirring up of the Muslims to more earnest devotion to God in prayer. This was due to the trials they were now called upon to endure. In later times, when the stress of business in the camp at Madina left no time for sleep in the daytime, this law was found to be inconvenient. For this reason ver. 20 was added to abrogate the obnoxious sections of the law in vers. 1-4. Probable Date of the Revelations.Noëldeke fixes the date of this chapter at about the middle of the first period, while Muir, with more reason, fixes it at the beginning of the sixth year of Muhammad's mission. Principal Subjects.
IN THE NAME OF THE MOST MERCIFUL GOD.R . ∥ (1) O thou wrapped up, (2) arise to prayer, and continue therein during the night, except a small part; (3)that is to say, during one half thereof: or do thou lessen the same a little (4) or add thereto. And repeat the Qurán with a distinct and sonorous voice: (5) for we will lay on thee a weighty word. (6) Verily the rising by night is more efficacious for steadfast continuance in devotion, and more conducive to decent pronunciation: (7) for in the daytime thou hast long employment. (8) And commemorate the name of thy Lord; and separate thyself unto him, renouncing worldly vanities. (9) He is the Lord of the east and of the west; there is no God but he. Wherefore take him for thy patron: (10) and patiently suffer the contumelies which the infidels utter against thee; and depart from them with a decent departure. (11) And let me alone with those who charge the Qurán with falsehood, who enjoy the blessings of this life; and bear with them for a while: (12) verily with us are heavy fetters and a burning fire, (13) and food ready to choke him who swalloweth it, and painful torment. (14) On a certain day the earth shall be shaken, and the mountains also, and the mountains shall become a heap of sand poured forth. (15) Verily we have sent unto you an Apostle, to bear witness against you; as we sent an apostle unto Pharaoh; (16) but Pharaoh was disobedient unto the apostle; wherefore we chastised him with a heavy chastisement. (17) How, therefore, will ye escape, if ye believe not, the day which shall make children become grey-headed through terror? (18) The heavens shall be rent in sunder thereby: the promise thereof shall surely be performed. (19) Verily this is an admonition: and whoever is willing to be admonished will take the way unto his Lord. R . ∥ (20) Thy Lord knoweth that thou continuest in prayer and meditation sometimes near two third parts of the night, and sometimes one half thereof, and at other times one third part thereof; and a part of thy companions, who are with thee, do the same. But God measureth the night and the day; he knoweth that ye cannot exactly compute the same: wherefore he turneth favourably unto you. Read, therefore, so much of the Qurán as may be easy unto you. He knoweth that there will be some infirm among you; and others travel through the earth, that they may obtain a competency of the bounty of God; and others fight in the defence of God's faith. Read, therefore, so much of the same as may be easy. And observe the stated times of prayer, and pay the legal alms; and lend unto God an acceptable loan: for whatever good ye send before your souls, ye shall find the same with God. This will be better, and will merit a greater reward. And ask God forgiveness; for Godis ready to forgive and merciful. [(1) ]Thou wrapped up. "When this revelation was brought to Muhammad, he was wrapped up in his garments, being affrighted at the appearance of Gabriel; or, as some say, he lay sleeping unconcernedly, or, according to others, praying, wrapped up in one part of a large mantle or rug with the other part of which Ayesha had covered herself to sleep. [(2) ]Except a small part. "For a half is such with respect to the whole. Or, as the sentence may be rendered, 'Pray half the night, within a small matter,' &c. Some expound these words as an exception to nights in general; according to whom the sense will be, 'Spend one-half of every night in prayer, except some few nights in the year,' &c."—Sale, Baidháwi. [(3, 4) ]Lesson . . . a little or add, i.e., "set apart either less than half the night, as one-third, for example, or more, as two-thirds. Or the meaning may be, 'Either take a small matter from a lesser part of the night than one-half, e.g., from one third, and so reduce it to a fourth; or add to such lesser part, and make it a full half.' "—Sale, Baidháwi. [(5) ]A weighty word, viz., "the precepts contained in the Qurán, which are heavy and difficult to those who are obliged to observe them, and especially to the Prophet, whose care it was to see that his people observed them also."—Sale, Baidháwi, Jaláluddín. [(6) ]The rising by night. "Or, 'the person who rises by night,' or 'the hours,' or particularly 'the first hours of night,' " &c.—Sale. [(13) ]Food ready to choke, &c. "As thorns and thistles, the fruit of the infernal tree al Zaqqúm, and the corruption flowing from the bodies of the damned."—Sale. [(15, 16) ]See notes on chap. vii. 104-136. [(20) ]Thy Lord knoweth, &c. These hours of the night "were spent by Muhammad in devotion and in the labour of working up his materials in rhythmical and rhyming Suras, and in preparation for the public assumption of the prophetic office."—Rodwell. |

Ojibwe Waasa Inaabidaa - We Look in All Directions DVD
- Overview
- More Info
- By: Larraine Norrgard, Producer
- Format: DVD, each episode 60 min.
- Publisher: WDSE-TV Duluth
- Usually ships in: 1 to 3 business days
Available as individual episodes ($24.95) or as a six piece set ($120.00).
Episode One: Gakina-awiiya - "We Are All Related"(Environment) explores the Ojibwe relationship with the natural environment before European contact, and how the land and lives of Ojibwe people were dramatically altered when this delicate balance clashed with the Euro-American philosophies of resource exploitation, treaties, land ownership, and reservations.
Episode Two: Gwayakochigewin – "Making Decisions the Right Way" (Leadership) journeys from pre-European contact to contemporary times, portraying the essence of traditional Ojibwe decision-making. Historical Ojibwe chiefs are profiled alongside contemporary Ojibwe leaders. This program traces Ojibwe beginnings as sovereign, independent bands led by councils of headmen, elders, and spiritual leaders; through the United State's paternalistic era of government guardianship; to today's reestablishment of self-determination.
Episode Three: Gaamiinigooyang – "That Which Is Given To Us" (Economy)describes the traditional Ojibwe survival system through numerous interviews with historians, tribal leaders, and elders; combined with visually stunning dramatic sequences of the four seasons' traditional economic cycle. Key interviews are powerfully illustrated with archival photographs, documents, maps, and historical film footage.
Episode Four: Bimaadiziwin – "A Healthy Way of Life" (Health) examines the Ojibwe's holistic approach to good health and the role of traditional medicine and spiritual healers. Also chronicled is the devastating impact on Ojibwe health brought by European-born epidemics, a shrinking land-base, and government policies of assimilation and acculturation. This program looks at the affects of boarding schools, adoptions, and other traumatic events that caused generations of grief, anger, and dysfunctional family dynamics. Learn also how the Ojibwe people maintained their health through improvements in health delivery systems beginning in 1955 with the creation of the Indian Health Service, and continuing with the training of their own people in western medicine and treatment.
Episode Five: Gikinoo'amaadiwin – "We Gain Knowledge" (Education) examines the connection between traditional family structures and knowledge--from the clan system through the four phases of life: child, adult, middle age, and elder. For the Ojibwe, learning is a life-long activity of careful observation and respectful listening. What must be fostered is not merely skill, but understanding, not merely knowledge, but wisdom. There is a duty on the part of elders to impart their wisdom and a concomitant obligation on the part of the youth to learn. This cyclical nature of education insured the survival of the Ojibwe people from generation to generation.
Episode Six: Ojibwemowin – "Ojibwe Oral Tradition" (Language) begins with Ojibwe origin narratives, and chronicles the decline and near disappearance of Ojibwe language and culture, continues through rebirth and renewal, and comes full circle to today's cultural renaissance and revival of language and tradition. A mixture of Ojibwe language (with English sub-titles), animation, drama, artwork, archival photos, interviews, and story telling presents a rich tapestry and narrative of Ojibwe creation and tradition. This episode features survival narratives, the migration story, and contemporary language and cultural preservation programs emphasizing today's Ojibwe children and future generations.

Comment: Re:A Positive Move (Score 1) 124
His point isn't actually invalid, as it applies to Cable TV as well. If you want all of the new movies you have to pick up HBO, Stars, and what ever else there is, each at an additional charge per month. $271 a year (your math for netflix+hulu+amazon) is kind of expensive, and really a joke to do something like that because you would be buying the extras just for the sake of the couple exclusives they have.

Apparently big-name celebs are always stopping by, and reviewer Anita Lau actually spotted a couple during her visit, which was highlighted by top-tier service (for the most part) and a buffet of lobster, crab and lots more.

Barbara Hulanicki. Courtesy of Topshop
Barbara Hulanicki is a fantastic character. She was born in Poland but raised in England where she became a leading fashion illustrator. In 1964 she and her husband Stephen Fitz-Simon founded BIBA, a mail-order fashion business that would supply hordes of newly swinging birds their miniskirts at an affordable price just as London became the capital of pop culture. She has also enjoyed a remarkable career as an interior and exterior designer; she set the aesthetic tone for the revival of the Miami Art Deco District. We caught up with Hulanicki recently, as she passed through New York on the occasion of the opening of Topshop in Soho. Hulanicki has designed an exclusive line for the company which operates very much in the spirit of her historic brand BIBA. If you're as young as you feel then I suppose the blonde, svelte and chic Barbara Hulanicki, who has been a major player in style for 45 years, is pushing 30.
GLENN O'BRIEN: I met you through Chris Blackwell of Island Records fame. You had decorated what was then his home in Jamaica, the Ian Fleming house, Goldeneye, and also you'd done his hotels.
BARBARA HULANICKI: Yes, I worked for Chris for about 15 years.
GOB: How did you get started with Chris?
BH: Well when my husband was alive we went to Miami, to do a club for Ronnie Wood on the beach.
GOB: Yeah.
BH: It was really very rough and dangerous at the time. We went for six months and we never left. After I finished the club, said, "Oh Chris Blackwell has got a hotel on the beach, do you want to do the hotel?" So I met Chris for the first time... and he gave me one corridor. What a job. In any case I passed that test, the corridor test. So then he gave me his apartment...
GOB: In the Marlin Hotel? (LEFT: BARBARA HULANICKI FOR TOPSHOP)
BH: Then I did the whole Marlin. Then he bought ten hotels like a job lot. I just kept working, one after the other. I always remember sending him a 1950s postcard of a woman in front of one of his hotels, The Tides. I wrote, "Oh look, here's your hotel—what are you gonna do with it?" And he said, "Oh. I've forgotten all about that one." You worked for Chris?
GOB: I worked for Chris for several years so I stayed at every one of those hotels. After that you did Goldeneye?
BH: Yes, and Pink Sands and Compass Point. Not only once, I did them like every five years. [CHUCKLES] When I was in the hotel I used to think, "I'm not gonna be here when this all falls apart." Almost every time I was there. Anyway, now all the properties have been sold. It's sad.
GOB: I was in Harbour Island right after Christmas. I stayed next door to Pink Sands and I sort of peeked over the fence. It looked kind of the same.
HB: I'm working for the new people. [LAUGHS] But it's like sort of being haunted. Once you've been involved in a property... I mean, the other day, I met a very nice Brazilian man who just bought the Marlin and wants to bring it back. And I thought, "Oh God. That is not possible."
GOB: So was Biba the first thing you ever did?
BH: Yes.
GOB: How did you start your career?
BH: I did fashion illustration for many years. I was doing editorials, I worked for The Times, Women's Wear Daily, Vogue, Harper's. I used to go to all the shows in Paris with the other girls. When I met my husband who was in advertising, he said, "You should really get back to designing." At that period a lot of fashion was mail order, which was equivalent to websites now . So we started doing a little mail order and then we hit one really big one and then we found a location and then we opened a shop. And that sort of grew and grew from there.
GOB: What hit it big on the mail order, what was your star item?
BH: We did quite a few pieces and we were selling something like 200 of each one and we weren't really making any money. It was like a nightmare to pack and ship, and we had to do it ourselves, and we were about to give up. And then the fashion editor of The [Daily] Mirror called me and she said, "I want a dress.. I want it for 25 shillings." So I went to see her and I said, "Okay, let's go dress for 25 shillings," thinking it wasn't going to work. I'll never forget going home and Fitz's says, "What a fucking price to doa dress without knowing anything!" And then we sold 17,000 of them.
GOB: Wow. And what was the name of that company?
BH: We called it "Biba's Postal Boutique." [LAUGHS]
GOB: Biba's Postal Boutique, that's really good. Where did you get the name Biba?
BH: That was an abbreviation of one of my sister's names. We had to find a name overnight. And after that we had an entrance to all the great manufacturers. Suddenly we were big heroes with our dresses in one size, in one color. [CHUCKLES]
GOB: What color were they?
BH: Pink and white checked. [CHUCKLES] We thought you could buy a woven gingham anywhere, but it's a very slow process, the weaving of the thing, so of course we couldn't find any in England.
GOB: Really.
BH: We were sitting on all this cash, so this man phoned us from up from Manchester. And he arrived in a pair of spats with a bowler hat and an umbrella. And he said, "I've got all the gingham you want! Don't worry!" So we handed him the cash and we thought, "Right, we got the fabric." So there was a delivery, Fitz was still working for the advertising agency and I was at home doing drawings. And his secretary rings me up and she says, "There's a delivery of gingham and many and many, many bolts of it sitting in the warehouse. But to me," she said, "it doesn't look like pink gingham, it looks," she said, "it looks like red tablecloth fabric with checks this big."
BH: It was meant to be like what Brigitte Bardot was always wearing, little gingham dresses. So they sent the swatch to me, I was in my cab. [GASPS] I nearly died. And what do, you know, the man came and gave us all the money back, I mean, it's cuckoo when you think of it. But we found it eventually. The right size pink—
GOB: Do you still have one?
BH: No. [LAUGHTER]
GOB: So then how did the store happen?
BH: I saw this amazing old chemists' lab that the whole interior had been taken to the V and A Museum. It was amazing. It was still in its original state. "Please, please, please, I want to do a shop." Fitz wouldn't talk about it after. Constance said, "Oh it's terrible, don't do it." Eventually we had another mail order hit where we were selling about 1,000 pieces of one smock. So then Fitz decided to take the premises, the chemist's. We had no space and we had the red one to pack and ship and I mean, this was an absolute nightmare. So all the stock is sitting in this chemist shop. And I open the door, it was a Saturday and Fitz was in the factory collecting more dresses or something. And, um, and suddenly I walked into the shop and it was full of girls trying the stuff on. So we were in business. [LAUGHS] One style, one color, one size. [LAUGHS]
GOB: What was your age group?
BH: Actually, when you think of it, it was very young, like 16. Because we were 24 and we were always considered really old.
GOB: And how much did the dress cost?
BH: The first one cost 25 shillings, 1.5. And the smocks that we were selling were 2 guineas. [LAUGHS] We said, "We must get like two shillings out of them." It was before the days of checks or credit cards—it's all cash. It's funny now but it was terrifying.
GOB: Was it all your designs?
BH: Oh everything, yeah. We manufactured everything ourselves. And nothing else was happening there—for that age group. At that period they were starting to earn money. They didn't spend money on food and not much on drink either. So they came in for a dress every week.
GOB: And were those mini dresses?
BH: Yeah. Now they've gotten minier and minier I think. Shorter and shorter.
GOB: I remember my first wife having Biba make-up. But was that after you re-launched? Didn't you open a shop on the top of Harrods or something?
BH: Bergdorf Goodman in America. We had 600 feet in Bergdorf Goodman, but I think you're thinking of the big store in High Street Kensington. We moved every two years, because we were just bursting at the seams. We did make-up in about our fourth year, which was really big. Then we exported to America and everywhere really.
GOB: So then what happened with Biba?
BH: We grew and grew and we took some partners about four years on, a family company that had 200 underwear shops. And we just exploded and we were with them for about six years. And we have a very happy relationship with them. And in that six years, we were in the High Street Kensington. It was completely defunct. It was an old area, with old carriage trade and nobody ever went there but there were these huge beautiful buildings. So then there was one of the buildings that was owned by Hugh Fraser, and he was going to demo it. And it was Deco and the English don't understand that—well they do now, but they didn't in those days. So Fitz just rang up Fraser and said, "I want to buy it. I want to take this building." And he said, "Okay. If you can get me," I can't remember now, "X amount of money by tomorrow night." [LAUGHS] Doing it up, it took 18 months. And past a quarter million pounds. Can you imagine six floors doing that? And that was kind of the end of us. It was sold it to Marks and Spencer before we even opened it.
GOB: So then you gave up the fashion for a while—
BH: Yeah.
GOB: To do interiors?
BH: We went to Brazil, and we worked with Cacharel and Fiorucci and Patatrone and then eventually I went into interiors. Now I'm back into fashion which is great! [CHUCKLES] Because they do all the terrible work of production for me.
GOB: Well I guess, I guess is Topshop like a modern day Biba?
BH: I guess yeah.
GOB: So what are the clothes like that you did for the Topshop?
BH: [CHUCKLES] "Listen to me, we don't want Biba. We don't want nothing like Biba." I said to them: "Okay, great, I'm thrilled." I gave them like 60 drawings which they picked 30. And as the process progressed, I said to them: "It looks very like Biba to me." [CHUCKLES] "Use it, I don't care." They are a very, very good company. I am terribly impressed. Very family. It's very, very nice seeing how they operate behind the scenes. What's so exciting about this recession now is that people are starting to appreciate their sort of individual, approach to things.
GOB: The times encourages creativity. In early 80s New York, nobody had any money but everybody looked fantastic, you know? They went to thrift shops and they found amazing things and everybody had their own style. And the idea of buying a designer outfit didn't exist.
BH: But people lost the capacity of using their brain. It's all about the label. Not about the labels showing but subtlety of the labels.
GOB: Do you think you're dressing the same age group as in Biba?
BH: I think they're a bit older. A little bit. And more sophisticated, more worldly. In that period in England, they hadn't traveled at all and they were very green. And now they're brainwashed by Barbie doll. [CHUCKLES]
GOB: Somebody was trying to pitch me a story on Barbie and I'm saying "Why?"
BH: She's been so damaging. [CHUCKLES] She has such abominable taste. But Topshop still works in the old way, which is amazing. This workroom is actually in the premises.
GOB: Is there anything else you're working on that's interesting?
BH: A few buildings. And I'm working with a very interesting Italian company on handbags that are still produced in Italy. You send them a drawing and usually you'd think, "Oh God it's going to be awful." But then they put so much into the production it comes out fabulous fabulous. It's a group called Coccinelle—a huge, sort of mid-priced company. They just signed me up for five years and I said, "Do you realize how old I am?" [LAUGHS]
GOB: Skills are hard to come by.
BH: Today the experience is at school and that isn't it. The wonderful letters added on to your name, they can't do a thing. School is a tunnel vision, in America especially I think.
GOB: Your drawing skill is almost an endangered craft.
BH: I've gone back to illustration now and certainly when people look at it they'll say, "But it's a drawing."[LAUGHS] "Yes, it's a drawing." I've found that most of the trouble I've had working with architects on interiors is that you do a hand drawing and they look at it, and they're very confused because it's not a computerized thing—
GOB: I've heard that said about architecture a lot, that the art of drawing has been totally lost.
BH: In Miami they're building all these hideous monstrosities. It's just so easy to be an architect, once you've got the ability to do your computer drawings. They just knock off each other. There's nothing creative in any of them. There's just one or two really good architects. The rest are just rubbish. I blame all the craziness of people buying houses, re-doing them and selling them, on these programs on television where they are redoing your homes and kitchens.
GOB: People are building 15,000-square-foot enormous houses that are going to be extremely impractical to heat and cool. They're doomed. Yet in suburban Connecticut there are masterpiece modern houses and people have been bulldozing them because the house is 2,000 square-feet. Philip Johnson's Glass House...
BH: Is quite small.
GOB: By modern standards it's tiny, yeah. But what do you need? I don't need a gym in my house. [CHUCKLES] Or a theater.
BH: Like, there are crazy developers in London who build these apartments with fridge for your furs.
GOB: Have you worked with a lot of architects?
BH: I have worked with some horrible idiots in my life. [LAUGHS] You learn the pattern of how architects work and the thing is not to fight it. Just to be very quiet, let them get on with it and let them really mess it up. [LAUGHS] And then be the hero, the cavalry. [LAUGHS] Because the two jobs are not compatible at all.

If youre planning on growing Chinese cabbage this fall, it will be most beneficial if you enrich your soil with compost before planting seeds or transplanting seedlings.
Chinese cabbage is a heavier feeder than most of the Asian greens.
Space plants 18 inches apart, and if you started from seeds, be sure to thin seedlings, thinning to three per location when the seedlings have at least two true leaves (not cotyledons or primary leaves), then to one per 18-inch space before the seedlings are one month old.
When the plants are well on their way to maturity, and night temperatures are falling below 40 degrees, gather up the long outside leaves and tie them above the growing head with a bit of string. A rubber band would be easier, but dont leave it just fastened with that band, for sun quickly deteriorates the rubber, and it will break.
As long as those outside leaves are tied above the growing head, they will catch falling cold, and the air between them and the head will insulate the head from the most severe effects of cold temperatures. There will be days when the temperature is above freezing, and you can compress the outside leaves to find how full the inside head is, whether you want to harvest it or let it grow more.
Once the Chinese cabbage head has grown into a tight head, it wont fall loose-leafed again.
The appearance of Japanese beetles in this Valley for the first time is a stunning blow to gardeners, nurseries and plant lovers in general. If we all are vigilant about capturing and killing these voracious critters, perhaps we can escape the nightmare of skeletonized leaves on our ornamentals and ensuing loss of agricultural income for orchardists and the state. Lets make this a short-lived invasion.
Kill those bronze-winged, metallic green beetles and put remains in plastic sandwich bags, then mail them to Idaho State Dept. of Agriculture, Plant Industries Division, P.O. Box 790, Boise, ID 83701 and include your return address, name and telephone number as well as the location where you killed the beetles.
Theres a lot to be said for saving seeds of favorite family flowers and vegetables. If the variety is provably over 50 years old, its regarded as an heirloom variety. Favorite varieties have memorable taste and the plants are strong and healthy or the seeds would not have been saved for generations.
Its true they dont have proven resistance as those hybrid varieties labeled VFFNT, for instance, because those of us saving open pollinated seeds dont have funds to pay a university to test for resistance, earning the resistance labeling. Companies with hybrid seeds, requiring gardeners to buy new seed each year, do have those resources.
I was given some mystery tomato seeds to grow this year by a friend of my brother. He and some relatives planted seeds found in a recently deceased family members garage. During garden fall cleanup, they found under an enormous tangle of vine many giant tomatoes (ca. 6 inches in diameter) that were delicious.
They saved seeds and have shared them with friends. Now I have this unusually vigorous vine loaded with large tomatoes, still green. I suspect this is a variety called Climbing Trip-L-Crop. If you tie the vine, it will climb or ramble several feet in length. As I recall, the vine was said to grow 12 to 15 feet, but some seed companies claim 25 feet. It also bears heavily, thus the triple crop claim.
This used to be a very popular tomato, but has fallen out of favor in recent years with Seed Savers, although Tomato Growers ( www.tomatogrowers.com ) and Totally Tomatoes (www.totallytomato.com) both still carry seeds for it.
Hand-me-down seeds are to be treasured, preserved and grown and shared.
Send garden questions to firstname.lastname@example.com or Gardening, The Statesman, P.O. Box 40, Boise, ID 83707.

WASHINGTON, May 10, 2012 (AFP) -Senate Republicans demanded answers Thursday from the Justice Department and Pentagon for why a Hezbollah suspect accused in the death of five US soldiers was transferred to Iraqi custody before being charged with war crimes.
In a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee wanted assurances US officials would seek to keep Ali Musa Daqduq behind bars, even as an Iraqi court ruled the Hezbollah commander be released over lack of evidence.
'Now an Iraqi court has cleared Daqduq of any criminal charges under Iraqi law and, as we and many other observers had feared, may be set free without being held to account for his crimes against the United States and its soldiers,' they wrote.
US lawmakers have long expressed interest in Daqduq, and his transfer to Iraq custody in December as US forces exited Iraq sparked a political furor in Washington.
Committee ranking Republican Chuck Grassley was incensed that while Congress was briefed on Daqduq's imminent release to Iraqi custody, 'they never mentioned that the administration was considering (war crimes) charges, which were filed approximately two weeks later,' he wrote in the letter, citing a report by The New York Times.
'Either the administration was purposefully withholding information from Congress or it had not done the due diligence required to file charges in a serious case against a dangerous terrorist,' he added.
'If the administration was serious in pursuing Daqduq, officials had many years when they could have brought charges against him, yet the administration waited until he was not available to prosecute.'
The Republicans demanded a copy of the military commission charge sheet against Daqduq, an explanation of why the Iraqi prosecution failed, and whether there were US efforts to have him transferred back to US custody or extradited to the United States.
They also demanded an explanation of why US briefers 'failed to indicate that criminal charges were prepared but not presented to a military commission prior to turning Daqduq over to the Iraqi government.'
US-led forces captured Daqduq in 2007. At the time, the United States accused Iranian special forces of using the Shiite militant group Hezbollah to train Iraqi extremists and of planning the 2007 attack.

The Environmental Law Institute operates an on-going collaborative program devoted to the protection of biological diversity at the state level. The objective of ELI's State Biodiversity Program is to improve biodiversity protection by identifying both obstacles to and opportunities for the conservation of biological diversity on the state and local level. The method we have utilized is to work in collaboration with local partners to formulate and implement statewide strategies for biodiversity protection and restoration. To date, we have applied this approach successfully in Indiana, Ohio, New Mexico, Delaware, and New York, with an effort currently underway in New Hampshire.
ELI's State Biodiversity Program has been supported by the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, George Gund Foundation, Joyce Foundation, Moriah Fund, Curtis and Edith Munson Foundation, Surdna Foundation, Town Creek Foundation, and in Delaware, the Longwood and Welfare Foundations and the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control. This funding has allowed us to work with citizen groups, conservation organizations, and state and local governments to foster state initiatives and help build the capacity necessary to implement statewide strategies for protecting and restoring biodiversity.
ELI's State Biodiversity Program has three areas of focus:
ELI's Land & Biodiversity Program focuses on:

Columbus, OH – witnesses reported seeing what looked like a vagrant enter an office building late Monday evening in Columbus' short north area. Later they would find out that this was the scene of a gruesome zombie like attack right here in Columbus, OH.
The Boltworks building is a mixed use office building located close to the 670/71 split near Columbus' downtown area. The building is also adjacent to a wooded area made known as "tent city" because of the number of homeless who reside in those woods in make shift tents.
According to the witnesses testimony, they watched what looked like a homeless man enter the Boltworks building. They also reported that this man seemed intoxicated or on drugs. Shortly after that they heard loud yelling and screams come from that same building. Two local radio station DJ's working the evening shift inside the building were reported missing this morning. That was until this video footage captured by security cameras was recovered. You won't believe what the cameras captured. This video is very graphic and NSFW.
Are we really seeing the beginning of real zombie attacks?

Another mash up for your enjoyment: Magic the Gathering vs Final Fantasy VII
((How does a life total become 1 "UNTIL THE END OF TURN"!?))
((I assume that it means that unless they lose the game before the turn is over it goes back to where it was previously? It would be a new mechanic because MTG doesn't account for stuff like that))
They would lose difference between their current total to make 1 life. They would gain it back after. A new rule would have to be put into place to make this not trigger things that look for life gain/loss (Ajani's Pridemate, for example). It's also more for flavor since Sephiroth has, in game, an attack that reduces the target's hit points to 1 (regardless of previous health).
No, they would lose the game immediately when the enters the battlefield trigger resolves. It's a phrasing that's been seen on cards like Phage the Untouchable, so it's not a new thing.

By BRENT SHAVER / STAFF WRITER
Foothill High boys basketball coach Rusty Van Cleave knew the ball was in the right player's hands.
Myles Carillo made an off balanced shot from the right side of the lane at the buzzer in overtime to lift the Knights to an important 57-55 Sea View League win last Wednesday at Woodbridge.
"That is Myles," Van Cleave said. "He has been that way and played that way his whole life. I've watched him play since he was a little kid. He was making half-courters to win NJB games. He has that in his background."
It was Foothill's second-straight thrilling victory. The Knights topped Huntington Beach with an end-of-the-game basket by Jay Filley off an assist by Myles the previous Friday.
"There is just not an easy game in this league," Van Cleave said.
Woodbridge's Ryan Garvin tied the game with a basket with 8.5 seconds left in overtime before Myles came through with the heroics.
"You hate to lose like that, but give them credit," Woodbridge coach John Halagan said. "It was a good high school game between two evenly matched teams that both needed to win a ballgame. One team is going to walk out of the gym with a W and unfortunately it wasn't us tonight."
The game was close throughout. There were nine ties and 12 lead changes.
Filley tied the game for Foothill near the end of regulation. He sank a deep three-pointer from the right side to make the score 47-47 with 58 seconds left.
"He got it going and we had a hard time containing him," Halagan said.
Filley scored 19 of Foothill's 25 points in the second half.
"We got on him a little bit at halftime," Van Cleave said after Filley had just two points in the first half. "He really responded."
Cooper Pickell made two free throws with 32.9 seconds left in overtime to give Foothill a 55-53 lead.
Garvin made his shot on the left side to tie it up and then Carillo threw in his shot at the buzzer for the Knights.
"I wanted the ball in Ryan's hands and he made a great shot," Halagan said of Garvin. "But their kid came right back and made one of his own."
Filley led Foothill with 23 points. Pickell added 10 points and Matt Cochran had nine points for the Knights.

FA removal (09 Mar - 20 Mar 2007, Success) Edit
This article was originally marked as a featured article on September 11, 2004 and has changed rather significantly since then. The Dominion article changed less than this, and was removed as a featured article because of it.
In addition to the large number of changes, there is also a lot of speculation in the article, which really adds to what we want to present as a featured article (sarcasm intended). -- Sulfur 00:04, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- Support removal. -- Renegade54 02:00, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Removed and Archived. -- Sulfur 15:16, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
First Contact?Edit
Isn't it mentioned in the TNG episode "First Contact" that the Federation Prime Directive was established because of first contact with the Klingons before they were a warp capable society? Did I just imagine that, because it's contradicted all over the place?
- Contact with the Klingons led to a change in first contact policies, not to the establishment of the Prime Directive. The Directive was likely in effect at the time the change to policy was made. As for contradictions, it's possible that, after the initial contacts seen on Enterprise, relations between the Federation and the Klingons became non-existant. (After all, would you want anything to do with people that were partially responsible for a virus that mutated your entire race?) Then, sometime around 2218, the Federation ran into the Klingons again, probably not knowing it was them for some reason or another. The result was disastrous, the Klingons became blood enemies of the Federation, and the Federation basically said "screw this, it's time for a change." --From Andoria with Love 02:24, 29 Oct 2005 (UTC)
- In "Bread and Circuses" Kirk claimed responsibilty for drafting the Prime Directive, ironically. I think in the dialog, he said it was only recently enacted. But, I'd have to watch again and check on that.--Mike Nobody 02:30, 29 Oct 2005 (UTC)
- All that was said about the prime directive in "Bread and Circuses" was that it was in full force when the SS Beagle chrash-landed on 892-IV in 2261. It never said how long it had been in force, although it seems to have not been too long before that. --From Andoria with Love 02:54, 29 Oct 2005 (UTC)
- It was "A Private Little War" in which Kirk suggest it was his report that caused the Prime Directive to come into being. It was "A Piece of the Action" in which Kirk said the Prime Directive had not been enacted, but that was referring to 100 years ago. --TOSrules 03:33, 29 Oct 2005 (UTC)
- Indeed he did. "No interference with normal social development. I'm not only aware of it, my survey 13 years ago recommended it." Of course, that could have just meant that he recommended no cultural contamination for that planet; it doesn't necessarily mean the prime directive was not in effect at the time. In other words, he suggested that further Starfleet interference with the planet's culture should be avoided - that the prime directive should be enacted for that planet. Knowhatimean? --From Andoria with Love 21:04, 29 Oct 2005 (UTC)
- An orbital survey is enough to know if that planet needed the prime directive. The Prime Directive doesn't need someone to recommending it to be applied. --TOSrules 21:25, 20 Nov 2005 (UTC)
- One would think so. Who knows? I just don't know why they would wait nearly a whole century after the founding of the Federation to decide, "Hey, you know what? The Vulcans were right!" I also don't see why it would take one lieutenant's report to stir Starfleet into action and create the Prime Directive. Here's hoping it gets explained in a future Trek series/movie. --From Andoria with Love 07:39, 21 Nov 2005 (UTC)
- As another famous Captain once said, "I don't pretend to understand Brannigan's Law, I just enforce it."--Tim Thomason 23:44, 29 Oct 2005 (UTC)
- Just to be clear, the episode TNG: "First Contact" said nothing about the Prime Directive. The dialogue is: Picard - "Chancellor, no starship mission is more dangerous than first contact. We never know what we face when we open the door to a new world. How will we be greeted? What are the dangers? Centuries ago, a disastrous first contact with the Klingon Empire led to decades of war. It was decided then that we must do surveillance before making contact. It was a controversial decision. But I believe it prevents more problems than it creates." This raises questions as to what Picard meant by "decades of war" following first contact, but that is another discussion entirely . . . . Aholland 16:40, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
Smooth forehead informationEdit
Is there a reason why the information from "Affliction" and "Divergence" is included in the background section instead of history, or even physiology? LordJuss 10:46, 1 Mar 2005 (GMT)
(Removed beginning, not meant for MA) You know the cure didn't have to be found by the 2070's. After all not all Klingons were effected. the first time we see a TOS Klingon is in DS9 episodes. Of course if the Klingon from the Enterprise Episode is related to his ST4/ST6 counterpart it would be likely they found a cure by then. That is if it's a Direct relation.--TOSrules 07:49, 28 Feb 2005 (GMT)
- Comment from Josiah Rowe 23:59, 28 Feb 2005 (GMT) removed, since it was responding to the part of TOSrules' post that he subsequently deleted.
- Run that through the translator again, i didn't really get any of it. -- Captain Mike K. Bartel 08:50, 28 Feb 2005 (GMT)
- It seems that Star Trek Online will go into this farther, based on what I've seen in the Open Beta --220.127.116.11 23:32, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
Images Edit
Should more images of TOS Klingons or 24th Century warriors be added, rather than the Enterprise photo? -- Dmsdbo 01:35, 4 Jul 2004 (CEST)
- Enterprise makeup is probably better ;). On the Klingon Civil War page there are multiple images of other Klingons, as well images of Worf can be used to supplement. However, I don't think it's a good idea to include TOS Klingons, as they just looked different because of budget/makeup limitations. Ottens 16:21, 4 Jul 2004 (CEST)
Copyvio reversionEdit
I have reason to believe that the recent additions made by Valaraukar were a copyright violation. View this diff, and compare the information added with this DITL article (some info has been shifted around to fit our article, but the information, grammar and styling remain identical. I have reverted the changes made, and restored to last non-copyvio version. If it proves necessary, I will have to delete the article, and recreate the non-copyvio version. -- Michael Warren | Talk 22:27, Aug 28, 2004 (CEST)
- MediaWiki 1.4 lets you undelete selected revisions, so you might want to delete the article, and then undelete everything prior to the copyvio being added. Angela 23:44, 2 Mar 2005 (GMT)
Minor ridges Edit
I restored Lincolnian's observation some Klingons only having one ridge. It is a valid point especially with regard to Chang and Azetbur. -- Krevaner 23:42, 7 Mar 2005 (GMT)
Does anyone have a good idea where to include the fact, that Klingons view the hammer as a symbol of power? Kennelly 14:51, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
- "Birthright, Part I", I believe --Alan del Beccio 02:58, 17 Sep 2005 (UTC)
Cast membersEdit
When did Ethan Phillips wear Klingon makeup? Excelsior 20:30, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- In "The Killing Game" or II -- Kobi - (Talk) 20:41, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- When did Scott Bakula wear Klingon makeup? 23:30, 21 Aug 2005
- In "Divergence" he has a tiny ridgeline on his forehead due to his involvement with the Klingon genetic augment cure.--Tim Thomason 06:26, 22 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- When did Scott Bakula wear Klingon makeup? 23:30, 21 Aug 2005
- The background info notes that The only Star Trek cast members, besides Michael Dorn and Roxann Dawson, to have worn the full Klingon makeup include Avery Brooks, Colm Meaney, Rene Auberjonois, Kate Mulgrew, Ethan Phillips and Scott Bakula.
- It should be noted that Bakula did not wear the full makeup. -- When it rains... it pours 17:03, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
- The same is true for Ethan Phillips, he only wore his regular Talaxian make-up with very small ridges, a darker complexion and fake teeth. --Jörg 17:14, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
The trouble, with... Edit
- "Klingons suffer from certain allergies, most notably a strong reaction to small furry animals such as tribbles. (TOS: "The Trouble with Tribbles")"
...I removed, because I don't remember anyone sneezing or having an alergic reaction to the tribbles. Odo joked (to get Worf away from them) "Worf is... alergic, to tribbles". And also, the Tribbles reacted TO the klingons, not the other way around. - AJHalliwell 01:44, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- Actually, the Klingons did also react to the tribbles: They were totally repulsed by them. But that's not really an allergic reaction. Spatula 22:19, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
- I think the Allergic reaction theory comes from a few NexGen books that I have read. I agree that there is no "hard cannon" support for this, and I think for now we should leave it as something to the effect of "Tribbles do not make good pets for Klingons."--Jlandeen 19:39, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
Removed prehistoryEdit
- I removed the following section that was added after this article is featured because a) the entire paragraph is written as non-canon speculation b) none of it is cited and c) it appears to be completely contributed by an IP address (which means it does need to be scrutinized moreso than it would from a major contributing player):
- Little is known of the Klingons prior to the establishment of the Empire. Klingons being a prideful race with a closed society, they are averse to sharing their secrets. Being violent, belligerent, and anti-intellectual, it is hard to imagine that the Klingons developed their high level of technology and science (including warp drive) by themselves. Klingon religion also states that the first Klingons destroyed the gods who created them. Klingon physiology with its redundancies and great strength is also ideal for military operations. Based on the available information, some have theorized that the Klingons originated as a vassal race. They were possibly bred or genetically engineered as "shock troops", and then turned on their masters.
- Signed, Alan del Beccio 02:58, 17 Sep 2005 (UTC)
The Prehistory removed is similar to/cribbed from the history given in the Star Trek Novel "Ishmael" by Barbara Hambly. -- Soukey : 10 Oct 2005
PNA ExplanationEdit
The article needs Appearances/References list(s). --Defiant | Talk 12:30, 16 Oct 2005 (UTC)
- You don't really want a list of all episodes with Klingons? That will be longer than the article itself. The appearances thing can be overdone in some cases, this is one. --Memory 16:06, 16 Oct 2005 (UTC)
- The info still needs to be compiled. Perhaps List of Klingon appearances should be its own page? Jaf 16:57, 16 Oct 2005 (UTC)Jaf
- Hm. Ok. --Memory 17:12, 16 Oct 2005 (UTC)
- Such a page exists now: Klingon appearances
- I don't like how this page opens with a big pic of the emblem, it's suppose to be about the species not the empire. Does anyone mind if I remove it? Jaf 13:49, 28 Nov 2005 (UTC)Jaf
- I don't mind its removal. If kept or moved within the article, it should be dated as TOS-era emblems had different colors. Aholland 17:17, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
Was it ever mentioned how long their average lifespan is? If several TOS Klingons were around in the TNG era, it is likely longer than humans'.--This user is not Jesus 08:22, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
- I thought Klingon lifespans were actually supposed be shorter than humans. I seem to remember a quote "the shortest flame burns brightest" or something from some episode.... OK thats not much to go on obviously... sorry, maybe its just my imagination. --Anonymous Coward 01, October 2006
- We don't know the exact lifespan, but we do know that Kang was in command of a starship in 2268 (the actor playing Kang was 46 at the time). It wouldn't be until 2370 (102 years later) that he would be die, and even that what not of natural causes. Similar stories for Kor and Koloth. -- Jaz talk 07:26, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
- We know that Klingons reach maturity quicker than humans, however the thought is that if a Klingon reaches "old age" he must have lived a somewhat dishonorable life. Thus as many times in the shows, older Klingons are sent to the front lines of battle for honorable deaths. Perhaps this social action is the reason we know little of a Klingon's potential lifespan?--Jlandeen 19:45, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
Appearances Edit
Sorry for editing the list, i must have missed something. Why is it supposed to be "scrambled" so to speak? Slipzen 22:05, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, I should apologize for not explaining myself, but I was probably rushed at the time. I reverted the list because the appearances are in chronological order from an in-universe perspective; it's not supposed to be in order by episode. Hope that explains things. Sorry again. :) --From Andoria with Love 16:44, 4 April 2006 (PDT)
- Please note that I have added some DS9 episodes to the list. They are episodes where Martok appears. Since the heading at the top says "besides Worf and B'ELanna Torres" I feel that ALL OTHER Klingons, even recurring characters, should count as "Klingon" appearances. Otherwise it should say "apart from Worf, Torres, Martok" etc.
Klingon aging Edit
This is my chart for Klingon Growth, taking in account the Klingon years that have passed. Right now it is 100% Alexander based. I don't know of any other rapid aging Klingons seen in Star Trek. Alexander is the lynch pin, the fact he said he was three years old within one human year (Season to season about a year distance) the chart works off a one earth year is three Klingon year idea. --TOSrules 17:26, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
Earth Years | Qo'noS Years | Physical Appearance |
1 | 3 | 4 Earth Years |
2 | 6 | 10 Earth Years |
8 | 24 | 16 Earth Years |
- It should be remembered that Alexander's mother was only part-Klingon. His rapid aging could have something to do with his slightly exotic biology.
- The article on Qo'noS says that one Qo'noS year equals 1.5 Earth years. 22.214.171.124
Production Issue?Edit
Have we considered that this "Klingon Growth" is actually a similar condition to that found on many television sitcoms, soap operas, and other media? I mean there are plenty of times where a baby is born on a show in one season and by the beginning of the next season is replaced by a child much older (Growing Pains, Family Ties, Full House). This seems to be a typical logistical issue with regard to television and I think the article seems to take this a little too far.
I think age issue as it pertains to Alexander is just a production gaffe and should be removed as non-canon or italicized as a background note. --Topher208 12:58, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
- I would agree, except that Trek provided us with an example where it was explained (in "Mortal Coil") in another child, thereby establishing to me that the rules are different for Star Trek. --OuroborosCobra talk 14:31, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
Spellings to follow the Dictionary and Galactic Traveler book? Edit
I'm wondering is there ever going to be any effort to include the Okrand spelling of Klingon words in the entries? For instance veq'largh instead of or appended to Fek'lhr or qel'argh appended to Key'lhr etc. - Wejvagh 21:45, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
Klingon anatomy description Edit
As an anatomy specialist (IRL) I thought I would make some comments about Klingon anatomy, as shown in the diagram presented in the article.
The body is that of an adult male. For illustration we see only the left half of the subject dissected; the right half is complete and clothed. The intersection between the two halves is slightly to the left of the midsaggital line. The diagram omits the lower limbs below the ankle joints. Comparison is made with the human adult male.
The skull displays the familiar cranial ridges associated with this species. It is robustly constructed. There may be a flap of bone covering the superior temporal foramen which would lend strength to the zygomatic arch. There appears to be a plate of bone in the anterior triangle of the neck, protecting the airway and larynx.
There is no sternum visible (or it has been removed). The rib architecture is very different from the segmental arrangement seen in humans; instead a multi-articulated bony reticulum seems to protect the thoracic contents. This might require respiration to be more diaphragmatic in this species. In the mediastinum the heart can be seen.
The abdomen displays four organs. Two of these resemble the human liver (possibly stomach) and colon; the others are less identifiable. No genitalia or organs of reproduction are visible.
The upper limb articulates with the thorax via a robust clavicle-scapula articulation. The humerus has an un-named paired bone alongside, whose head articulates with the upper third of the diaphysis. The elbow and forearm are similar to those in humans. The forearm is prone and terminates in a carpus in which seven carpal bones may be seen; the metacarpals and phalanges are arranged as in humans.
The pelvic bones differ greatly from those in humans. The acetabulum is more inferiorly placed and its opening is directed more anteriorly. The angulation of the femoral neck is straighter and the head is larger. An un-named paired bone lies alongside the femur and articulates with it at the lesser trochanter. Both this bone and the femur appear to articulate directly with an enlarged patella which occupies the whole centre of the knee joint. The tibia and fibula are similarly arranged to those in humans.
In summary this individual displays several anatomical differences from the adult human. His robust musculoskeletal system denotes considerable physical strength and resistance to injury. Vivienne marcus 13:16, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
...son of... Edit
Does anyone know when Klingons started to be called "X, son of Y" in the series? 126.96.36.199 01:15, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- The earliest reference I can find is from Worf, son of Mogh in TNG: "Sins of the Father". Of course, it would later gain steam in the series ("Redemption"; "Redemption II"; "Birthright, Part I"; "Rightful Heir") and by the time of DS9 was used by various Klingons to introduce themselves (note "Apocalypse Rising" and "Sons and Daughters").--Tim Thomason 01:42, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. 18.104.22.168 01:28, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Past Tense Edit
Please edit this article to place it in the past tense (per MA:POV). Thanks. --Commodore Sixty-Four(talk) 15:12, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
- Nevermind. I did it myself. It is pretty non-trivial to revert my changes; however, I suggest that if you have problems with the concept of representing species in the past tense, you should discuss this on the MA:POV talk page.
- I also made a few gramatical and style changes here and there, some to better fit the past tense, and others to reduce sentence length or complexity. Since it took so long to go through the article, I did these in one edit. I hope that isn't too problematic.
- The one change I didn't make is the subject of the next section on this page, "The Klingons" vs. "Klingons"
- --C64 05:38, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
- This is a completely moronic request. The Klingons are a current, existent race, it should be in the present tense. Do any of you understand grammar at all? Past tense is for what happened in the past or no longer "exists", not for a race which, for all intents and purposes, essentially still exists. I know it is fiction but the Klingons are still an existent race within that universe. Scum of the Earth, COME ON! 21:48, December 30, 2009 (UTC)
"The Klingons" vs. "Klingons"Edit
I personally have no preference in the matter, but I believe this needs to be consistent throughout the entire entry. Either use the article, or don't. As it is currently, the earlier edits tend to use "the Klingons", while more recent ones simply use Klingons. --Commodore Sixty-Four(talk) 05:38, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
- Klingon warriors generally did not wear rank insignia on their uniforms. A Klingon would never claim to be any other rank than what they actually are, since this would be an egregious violation of a warrior's honor code. If a Klingon claimed to hold a specific rank, they could almost always be taken at their word. {{incite}}
From society section --Alan 05:59, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
Alexander Rozhenko appearances Edit
In the list of appearances, all episodes with Klingons but Worf and B'Elanna Torres are reported. What about Alexander ones? We should add them, or add his name to the list of exceptions, or note that he is not fully Klingon. According to Alexander's article, the following episodes may be added: TNG: "New Ground", "Ethics", "Cost of Living", "Imaginary Friend", "Rascals", "A Fistful of Datas". Triggerator 14:13, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
- Given there are no opinions, I added the above episodes (featuring Alexander) in the Klingon appearance list. Triggerator 13:37, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
- I agree that Alexander should be included, my thought of his original exclusion could be from his not 100% Klingon bloodline.--Jlandeen 19:49, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
Assimilated Klingons...Edit
This question has been burning at me for awhile. Okay, so I've seen a few assimilated Borg Klingons here and there. I was wondering, are they considered dishonored or what? I mean they were technically captured and I'm sure they didn't have time to commit ritual suicide and stuff. So what's the deal? What do you all think happens to their family name and honor after this occurs to them? Oh, and sorry to keep going on, there was that Klingon Korok from Unimatrix Zero who ultimately got his individuality back... So if he came back to the Empire, do you think he would be considered honored? Haha. Sorry. I have a lot of time to think about this stuff. --TrekDudeToTheMax 23:57, 16 September 2007 (UTC)TrekDudeToTheMax
- Very interesting idea...From all of the references I can remember, it was required for a Klingon to be killed in the line of duty, or in battle to be allowed to go to StoVoKor. Families of Klingons that were captured or missing wouldn't likely lose the honor of their house unless it was confirmed that they were still alive in prison or something. I expect that Klingon families would declare that the soldier in question gave their life in performance of their duty even if they were assimilated. The only somewhat similar situation to this that I can think of was that of the invasion of the Khitomer outpost where Worf's father was killed. The empire declared that all of the colonists of the outpost were killed during the battle and were considered to be honored, with the exception of Worf's father, even though the evidence of his collaboration with the Romulans was fabricated. When it was later discovered that there were many survivors of Khitomer at the Romulan prison camp on Carraya IV, those Klingons chose never to attempt to return to the Klingon homeworld because it would dishonor their families. -- Davisn456 01:10, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
- I believe in this case, the Borg would bear the dishonor, because they would not allow their "prisoners" from ending their lives with honor. - Quase 14:44, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
- Since the Klingon's believe the body to simply be a shell for the soul of the warrior carrying it, it would stand to reason that any assimilated klingon would not be seen as Klingon anymore, and the soul of that warrior did die an honorable death in combat.-emmjay
- I believe in this case, the Borg would bear the dishonor, because they would not allow their "prisoners" from ending their lives with honor. - Quase 14:44, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
Apocrypha notes Edit
How many "In the novel XXXX, the Klingons YYYYY" statements are appropriate for an article? Right now there are three, which seems OK to me, but how many does it take for this article to be like Memory Beta? --31dot 21:31, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
- I think as long as apoc+bg is the same size as the in-universe entry, things are still appropriate. If it is larger there is too much. I dont see any problem with articles having same info as MB articles. --Pseudohuman 21:44, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
With xenophobia for all ... Edit
There should be more specific notes, of their widespread species-ist attitudes, (e.g., DS9: "You Are Cordially Invited"), since Klingons were introduced into Roddenberry's Brave New Federation World partly as a counterpoint to cultural tolerance and non-militarism. I suggest it be inserted under the Society section.Toddsschneider 11:53, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
Physical Strength Edit
How strong are Klingons compared to Humans? In the DS9 episode "Take Me Out to the Holosuite" Capt. Sisko says something about the Vulcans like, "they are stronger and faster then anyone of us, except for Worf and our genetically enhanced Doctor." Vulcans are three times stronger than Humans. In the ENT episode "Borderland" two Human Augments take on a crew of Klingons. Augments are five times stronger then Humans. So Klingons are somewhere between more than three times stronger but less then five times stronger then Humans. But what I want to know is can we get more precise then that?
- I think you've pretty much covered it, in terms of canon.--31dot 22:11, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
- That, and then there's probably as much diversity in Klingon strength as there is in Human strength. Worf might be an especially "fit" Klingon, or just "average" and still comparable to a typical Vulcan starfleet officer. -- Cid Highwind 22:37, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
- I may be wrong, but I can't think of any instance that shows the klingons have physical strength anything like a vulcans, infact at the most I would say that they are no stronger than a high level athelet, something that is unsurprising in a race that exercises so often. --General MGD 109 20:47, September 11, 2011 (UTC)
- In the DS9 Episode "Let He Who Is Without Sin..." where Worf, Dax, Bashir, Quark and Leeta go to Risa, Worf lifts then throws Fullerton across the room with 1 hand. He does this after Fullerton struck him in the face for taking back the tricorder he modified to change the environmental grid and for no longer aiding him with his maniacal plan. So, yeah. Klingons are considerably stronger than humans. At least as stron as Vulcans without a doubt.– The preceding unsigned comment was added by 126.96.36.199 (talk).
Quotes Edit
Does anyone else think that three quotes at the top of the article is a bit excessive? Could we just pick one and keep it at that? -- TrekFan Open a channel 02:18, February 13, 2011 (UTC)
- Yes. Each article should only have one quote at the top (if any). Out of the current quotes, I'd prefer Kurn's.–Cleanse ( talk | contribs ) 03:31, February 13, 2011 (UTC)
- For the record, here's the other two quotes:
- "If there's one thing I've learned over the years, it's never underestimate a Klingon."
- "Notice the primitive rage in his eye, the uncontrolled brutality... Klingons can be quite entertaining, can't they? Every Romulan zoo should have a pair!"
- - Senator Letant
Pink blood Edit
There is no explanation for the Klingons' pink blood in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. A good explanation is that the Romulan ale they consumed before dieing affected the color of their blood. They could make that canon only if no red blood is seen after Klingons consume Romulan ale in other movies or episodes.– The preceding unsigned comment was added by 188.8.131.52 (talk).
- As you said, it is not canon, so it cannot be in the article.--31dot 01:10, July 1, 2011 (UTC)
- This may not be entirely relevant but there are terrestrial species with pink or violet blood. Hemerythrin is an iron-based respiratory pigment found in some marine life. There's an informative article on various real and speculative pigments of various colors at http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/B/blood.html. While not canon, it is a plausible scientific explanation. Of course, Klingon blood is seen to be red everywhere else.Bat'leth 04:08, July 1, 2011 (UTC)
Klingon Head Ridges Returning Edit
I'm not sure how "canon" Star Trek Online is considered, but there are a few missions centered around Miral Paris in which she gets taken by Klingons and sent back in time (to around the TOS era) and the Klingons there take her DNA and use it to apparently fix their ridges. This is noted on her page, but this article leaves that information out.126.96.36.199 07:08, September 6, 2011 (UTC)
- See the canon policy, but STO is not canon. As on the Miral Paris article, such a note could be mentioned in the Apocrypha section.--31dot 10:21, September 6, 2011 (UTC)
Klingon philosophy merge Edit
There's nothing really here that isn't better written and cited at Klingon.–Cleanse ( talk | contribs ) 10:55, January 13, 2012 (UTC)
- Either this should go there or some stuff there could be brought here- a merge to there is probably best. --31dot 10:59, January 13, 2012 (UTC)
- I agree with a merge. These "philosophy" articles were suggested by a very early redlink listing (on the main page, I think), where there were "X", "X history", "X philosophy", and some others. It's likely that not all of these articles are still considered "sensible" to have, and some of them should be merged with their "parent" article. -- Cid Highwind 12:29, January 13, 2012 (UTC)
New klingons Edit
So...What about the Klingons in the alternate universe of Star Trek Into Darkness? – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 184.108.40.206 (talk).
