Great music, fun contests, mouth-watering food and absolutely perfect weather. Everything fell into place on Sept. 15 when the fourth annual Rocktoberfest kicked into high gear.
The fundraiser for local nonprofit Community Nurse Health Association welcomed 1,800 attendees to Gordon Park in La Grange for a night of bands, brats, beer, bags and competitive bartending.
The always popular celebrity bartender competition pitted local celebrities against each other in a contest for who could garner the most tips. The contest garnered $10,000 for Community Nurse with Thom Serafin of LaGrange Park taking home the grand prize.
Three bands rocked throughout the festivities, including Far-Sighted, a trio of Lyons Township High School sophomores making their Rocktoberfest debut. The Bad Dads, a group of fathers from La Grange and Western Springs, returned to the stage for the third time. Finally, headliner Infinity played hits from the '80s, to the delight of the crowd.
"This was the biggest Rocktoberfest we've had so far, bringing out the most people and raising the most money," said Hollis Igras, manager of events and marketing. "The perfect weather definitely helped and the community really came out for this."
The event raised $88,000 for Community Nurse, a primary care health, dental and social service for low-income working families in western Cook and eastern DuPage counties.

Baseball: The lone Lone Star-staters: Cougars shine in national tryout
By Justin Thomas,
Lifelong friends and The Colony baseball players Christion Smith and Austin Ferguson have spent a majority of their young athletic careers competing on many of the same teams in multiple sports as far back as when they were 4 years old.
Now the duo has something else in common. Smith - a junior - and Ferguson - a sophomore - are the only two players from Texas that were selected to the USSSA National High School Team.
The pair attended the tryout individually after receiving their respective invitations and are 2-of-20 athletes who made the final cut out of 180 invites.
"We're very proud of them," said Martin Dean, The Colony head baseball coach. "They've worked hard since they've been here and have continued to improve. It's good to see how the work has paid off. I think they're better now than they were even a couple of months ago during the tryout."
Dean believes the pair is the first Cougars to make the squad, at least in the eight years he has been coach. He also noted the amount of credibility the honors could bring The Colony as they prepare for their upcoming season.
"It's something the other guys can look up to and see the work ethic they have had as leaders," he said. "Hopefully it's something we can all carry into the season. I'm proud of them and it is a great honor for two great kids."
Smith, a three-year letterman, is a catcher and right-handed submarine pitcher, and also plays on the Denton County Raptors 18U select team. Ferguson, meanwhile, is a sophomore and two-year letterman who plays third base and is a member of the North Texas Longhorns 17U select team.
Now when the Cougars' season and their respective select schedules end, the pair will head to Kissimmee, Fla. for international competition at the 2013 USSSA Gold Medal Games.
It was in Kissimmee in August where Smith and Ferguson earned their spots on the team. The four-day tryout featured a day where players were drilled on hitting and fielding with their positional groups before players were broken off into teams for three days of scrimmaging.
"I think my select coach sent in some information and I got an e-mail saying I had been invited to the tryout," Smith said. "I wasn't really familiar with anyone down there. Austin was the only guy I knew."
Smith said he was able to interact with Ferguson during the tryout, including facing off against each other on multiple occasions.
"It was exciting," he said. "When the tryout was over, I felt I played well and thought I had a pretty good chance of making the team."
Days later, Smith received his invite.
Ferguson, who received his invite to the tryout on the phone while heading to the batting cages with his father, found out he was on the squad while he was still in Kissimmee.
"They announced what I guess you could say was the starting nine," he said. "I was the third name they called. It was so exciting. And to hear later that Christion had made the team was awesome. It's exciting to get do something like this with my best friend there."
Like Smith, Ferguson was pleased with his performance at the tryout.
"It went really well," he said. "I was very relaxed going down there. I wasn't really feeling any pressure and my bat was on fire."
Both Smith and Ferguson made the most of their trip to Florida when they weren't on the diamond as well.
"It was fun," Ferguson said. "My family and I went down a couple of days early and went to Cocoa Beach, ate dinner on a boat and went to an alligator park."
"We stayed a couple days after, too," Smith added. "The weather was great and it was a good time."
The pair's international experience may not end in Kissimmee, however, because if the team and players perform well, they could receive invites to the 17U National Team.
"It's almost like another tryout," Smith said. "It's going to be fun and I've never done anything like it before."

OS X Mountain Lion
Hi guys so there it is i was thinking of a new post and i thought i should mention new apple OS ye, and i promise you it is excited i will try to keep it simple so that you not gonna be bother after the first few lines. So there you go:
So the whole thing was inspired by iPad and re-designed for Mac. System requirements ware simple, social networks. I think Apple wanted to focus on all social aspects of Mac that why they worked on improving:
- iCloud
- Messaging
- Notes
- Gaming
- Notification system
- Security
- Airplay (TV connection)
- Reminder
- Sharing
- iCloud
Keeps your mail, calendar, documents, contacts all up to date on any device you use, so when you delete something on one it automatically updates on others.
- Messaging
Messages - does everything what iChat does (supports Yahoo massager, AIM, Jabber and Google Talk) and even more, it comes with iMessages so you can text , send files to your friends on any other device like iPhone or iPad from you Mac, and not forgetting it all unlimited :). Its all automatically updated on you other devices so you can easily go back to your conversation. You can switch to FaceTime get delivery report, and see when someone is replying.
Also as a extra thing you try it now ( MESSAGES BETA ) go on and do it :)
- Notes
I'm really happy about this one because this means no more applications for taking notes. In Notes you can add photos and attachments, you can edit them delete them, quick search through them and share. It works with iCloud so you can have them with you all the time, and all updated. You can chose small details like font style and colours, and similar to Stickies can stay on you desktop if you need it out everyday.
- Gaming
Gaming Center - social playing games allow you play with friends on any device and meet new players. Really simple and personally if you like playing small games like Words with Friends then you would definitely like this.
- Notification system
Notification Center - Really useful, you know when you wanna check your mail then you have to go to the particular application same with Messages, FaceTime, AppStore and Calendar. With Notification Center you don't have to go to do that as it as it all comes in one sidebar. You can chose what kind of notifications you want to be displayed, you can also connect Twitter to it and everything is up to date also with automatic software updates and more.
- Security
Gatekeeper - makes Mac's safer then ever before, :) it helps control what applications are safe to download. You had a choice to either download 100% safe apps from AppStore, but what about those apps that are not there created by other developers, what if you want this particular application, well there you go Gatekeeper supposed to help you with those hard decisions. We all know malware is a killer XD, so why not get applications that are checked already, that makes life simpler. And even before we never had much problems with it at least we know Apple is working hard on keeping our computer and personal information safe. Also there is Developer ID that helps Gatekeeper check if the application is valid and check encrypted files.
- AirPlay
AirPlay Mirroring - for those with Apple TV. So ye if you have a any group work, conference or you want to share things like videos,photos and any other media with your family or friends that lives quite far away that is a fun and useful add to your Mac. But remember only with AppleTV.
Anyway i think its quite awesome just imagine how cool would be group work with this.
Bye bye Twitter apps, with this you just sign in once and everything what you do can be posted on Twitter without living app you using and switching, you can post anything you are doing, writing, thinking. Sounds ultimate and it is!
- Reminder
Life SAVER! If you are a busy person with iPhone, Mac or iPad then you would love this! I am really busy person i know how it feels when you have life on your head on only one head. With university work revising, homework, group work, assignments going on at the same time it just hard to keep a track of it on the go. And then life outside, family commitments, birthdays and other things that you have to take care of. I literally struggled with note taking and managing even tho everyone thinks i'm good at it i guess practice is the key :). But seriously I went through few applications and none of them ware even close to good enough, then at uni i had to use small calendar and i was also putting things in my mobile at the same time so just imagine this mess (3 different reminders). Now with this Reminder working with iCloud i can imagine a huge relief so thank you Apple. And by the look of it , simple and organized. You can quick search through the list of things that you created. And remember it works with iCloud and Notification Center.
- Sharing
Share Sheet - helps you share anything you want from Safari or any other application you use via Flicker, Messages,Twitter and Mail. What you get is a share button that will help you with it.
So ye there you go i tried to keep it short and really simple! Thanks :)

But this is just a quick word to say, hey, it's Games Day UK in Birmingham this weekend, and I look forward to seeing some or all of you there!
May the jam be defended.
an infinite number of typewriters and some damn fine monkeys can get you a long way
Dan & Nik
An the whole of the crew
c u sunday
Stephen & Claire
See you then! Claire, are you coming too? You must be mad, 8 months pregnant and all :-)
see you there guys!
Mentioned buddy of mine is going to see you there, Dan. I'll mutilate his body if he forgets to send my greetings.
And call yourself lucky: he wasn't able to take more than 2 books with him to get'em signed ;)
i'll just bring my two gg omnibuses and anything i buy there
Tsk! I got every first Edition print of the GGs. Didn't got the first few CEs, so I did not start that, but everything else... Necropolis, my fav, is beginning to loose pages because I read it that often... but I love it.
Y'know, I love the covers of the first books. Ghostmaker, First & Only, Necropolis, they have that air... the later covers didn't quite catch that...
I'm starting to getdistinct feelings that if I don't show up with some jam, people won't be impressed.
i live 2 mins down the road from the NEC btw!
i wonder how you feel about marmalade?
Xhalax - If there is no jam, how are we to defend it?
BTW I'm a sucker for apricot, and bramble jelly (with peanut butter of course).
Dan's more of a marmalade man, but I'm not convinced that's a jam at all - please, let us not have that discussion.
Tempest - that's just weird. You and I must have posted at exactly the same time, because when I published my comment yours came up.
It looks like marmalade is on the table guys :-)
Gak me. If only I could catch a flight to the UK over the weekend without failing a variety of assignments due on Monday/having to pay money. :P
Only 45 more days before I one-day ship Gaunt's Ghosts to the US of A.
Hmmmm, marmalade... :)
Oh hell!
Now I'll have to bring jam with me.
My mum is going to think I'm seriouly out of my tree when I ask her to buy jam for me. I don't even like jam!
Man, why do I see Dan walking away from Games Day UK balancing eight to ten jars of jam?
Hmmm... I'd probably bring Guava Jam, since no one else will.
Or maybe bread. No one seems to be bringing bread...
The challenge is to bring something properly homemade, so if anyone's got an obliging Granny, go and be nice to her, right now.
I'm not even planning on going to Games Day this year and I still dreamt of it last night!
But why (in the dream) did:
A) Nik make me literally roll out a red carpet?
B) Dan disappear to look after a baby boy?
C) NO-ONE WHATSOEVER come to the Great Signing Queue and the Black Library stalls?
That's the last time I read a Dan Abnett book before I go to bed!
P.S. Xhalax - What with your notorious jam dream and my red carpet dream I suppose we are now the founding members of some weird club. But I'm afraid my inclinations will always be to destroy the jam. Let the fruit bloom forth freely, as nature intended!
the whole point of it is to take the jam and show it to him but not let him have it.
nik-woo a coinkydink!
grrr. I'm even working in Birmingham on friday - and then pissing off to Boston saturday morning. this is the third year in a row I'll miss games day. THE FRUSTRATION.
nik....you want me to MAKE home-made jam in time for Sunday?
And when did the jam dream become notorious?
dan didn't say somin about sabbat-martyr in the dream now did he?
i think he wants his chosen ones to activate the ancient jam factory that is buried under the nec.
i've said too much!
Must... see... Dan... I'm so happy I get on that GD!
i've just started work on a project that may interest you tanith fans
stay tuned
sneaky roxxorx tempest....he didn't.
All he said, in a very not nice way, was that there'll NEVER be a story about what happened to Nathun Inshabel on Elvara Cardinal
Unfortunately, the only thing my grandmother makes are martinis.
Robert - that's the kinda grandma we all want!
I once asked an 80something woman how come she looked so young, and she put it down to strong drink and hot sex! Now that's who I want to be some day!

Course Overview
Our flexible Engineering programme brings to life technologies like renewable energy, mechatronics and microwave accelerator science, along with other emerging technologies like micro and nano electronics, new materials and advanced sensor technology.
At Lancaster you will experience a new interactive way of learning. Practical and experimental classes offer you hands-on experience to complement your course's theory modules, while innovative design-build-test projects replace traditional lab sessions.
All our undergraduate degrees start with a common first year, regardless of which discipline you choose, and include modules such as Strengths and Materials and Electrical and Electronics Fundamentals as well as Engineering Mathematics courses. At the end of your first year, you can choose to specialise in a particular field of Engineering and choose from second year modules including Engineering Analysis and Instrumentation and Control.
You will also decide whether to study overseas. If you take our Study Abroad variant, you'll spend the second year of your course studying at a partner university in North America or Australasia. This counts towards a full year of your academic study.
Undergraduates on our Bachelors programme complete their studies in three years, following courses appropriate to their selected discipline. If you continue on to Masters level, your fourth year modules may include Nuclear Engineering Systems and Advanced CAD/CAM.

For those who don't watch the UFC's undercard fights, you don't know what you're missing. And for those that do, we often find that the prelims can be just as if not more entertaining bouts than those on the main card, and can provide valuable insight as to which fighters to keep an eye on in regards to potential future wave-makers in his respective weight division. "Panzer" Pascal Krauss (10-0) is one such fighter.
"Panzer", a nickname meaning "tank" in his native German language, exemplifies exactly what Krauss has shown in his career – that he is a force to be reckoned with. The undefeated 25-year-old welterweight made his UFC debut at UFC 122 where he not only picked up his first win in the Zuffa promotion, he also earned "Fight of the Night" honors for his three-round war with fellow UFC newcomer "Scanno" Mark Scanlon (7-2). Krauss came into his UFC debut fight as the Cage Warriors Fighting Championship welterweight king toting an undefeated record with ten consecutive first- or second-round finishes, and looking to prove that he belonged in the world's most prestigious MMA organization. Having shown a variety of skills against Scanlon and earning a fight bonus in his first effort, "Panzer" did not disappoint. Continue reading »

UNION — Come experience the ambience of an 1850s-style Christmas at Rose Hill, former home of Gov. William Henry Gist and his family.
The mansion will be decorated and open for special Christmas-themed tours from 1 to 4 p.m. Friday through Sunday, Dec. 7-9. Please note that tours begin on the front porch of the mansion on the half hour from 1 to 4 p.m.
Father Christmas will make a special appearance on the park Sunday afternoon — bring the family!
In the mid-19th century, Christmas was a more low-key affair, centered upon spending time with family, a better-than-usual meal, church observance and the exchange of small gifts. Decorating was done with evergreens and holly to spruce up the house and lend a festive air to the dreary winter.
Interpreters will lead guided walks through the mansion and explain the Christmas traditions that were just beginning in the 1850s. Refreshments — including some from recipes of the era — will be available during and after the program in the original kitchen behind the mansion. Children's activities will also be available in the kitchen.
Tickets are $7.50 per person (ages 6 and older) and may be purchased in the kitchen the day of your visit. Ages 5 and under are free. This is a Passport Plus program. The mansion will remain decorated for the holiday season throughout the month of December.
About Rose Hill
Rose Hill Plantation State Historic Site is the antebellum home of South Carolina's "secession governor," William H. Gist. Visitors to the 44-acre park can learn about the lifestyle of a wealthy Upstate plantation family, Gist's contributions to politics and the importance of cotton in the South. Visitors also get an inside look at the role of enslaved African-Americans and tenant farmers in South Carolina's history.
Normal hours of operation
Park grounds are open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., year-round. The mansion home is only accessible by guided tour, which are held at 1, 2 and 3 p.m. — daily from March through October, and Thursday through Monday from November through February.

New Nolan mural paints picture of Florida landscape
Date: December 5, 2012
by: Josh Siegel | Staff Writer
LAKEWOOD RANCH — Charlie Gillam's friends tell her they could walk straight through the 25-foot-by-8-foot mural she helped paint because it looks so real.
Last week, Charlie and other members of Nolan Middle School's Fine Arts Club for Talented Students (FACTS) completed their second mural on the side of a portable classroom. This one represents a beach at Emerson Point.
Under the direction of Nolan art teacher Wade Smith, the group of seventh- and eighth-grade students worked two days a week after school for nine weeks to finish the project.
The mural is part of a series of three designed to turn the sides of the school's portables into an outside gallery of Florida environments.
Last year, the club painted a wetland scene, which sits next to the new mural.
"We started off with a few coats of blue paint. Then, we attached a paint brush to a long poll and stabbed at (the portable wall)," said Charlie, who said she had no prior painting experience.
Students started by looking at a small painting by Smith. Students then individually sketched the scene before working on the real project.
Quinn Birmingham, a second-year FACTS club student, said challenges included working on such a large canvas and mixing colors.
"I learned that trees have more colors than brown," Quinn said. "You also need to add more color to water than just blue to make it stand out. Together, it is all supposed to represent Florida's seagulls and beautiful beaches."
Next, Smith is planning an agriculture-themed mural for the school cafeteria.

Cultural Heritage
In spite of the critical economic and financial phase, the Compagnia confirms its commitment in favor of culture as an answer to people's intellectual and spiritual needs, as well as an irreplaceable factor for the advancement of research and knowledge.
Moreover, it is necessary to consider the direct and indirect positive effects induced by cultural activity in a social and economic context, seriously analyzing the existing critical elements and the ones that may emerge, as well as the prospects.
This is particularly valid for Torino, that over the past few years has seen a progressive growth of vitality and reputation, thanks as well to the resources that have been channeled into culture and cultural consumption.
Starting from these premises, it is appropriate to distinguish between the interventions aimed at preserving and enhancing the value of our cultural heritage, on one side, and promoting and supporting activities that have a substantial cultural interest, on the other, in the context of a close integration of these two areas.

High-Profile Attorney Demands Arrest in Ward Shooting Case
By: Brittney Johnson, KARK 4 News
Updated: November 23, 2012
The victim's wife and mother say, authorities have told them who shot Ernest Hoskins Jr. November 9th in Ward, but two weeks later the person is still free. Hoskins' family has hired an attorney working on the high profile shooting death of Trayvon Martin, hoping to push police, to act soon.
"If someone could just tell me why this man has not been arrested for killing my son," Monica Hoskins asked at a press conference Friday afternoon.
Her question, part of an emotional plea from a mother, desperate for answers in the shooting death of her only son.
"Ernest was my baby, that was my son. Never made momma cry, never made me cry until now," she added, holding back tears.
These days, questions, memories and photos are all Monica and Nikki Hoskins have to hold on to since Ernest Hoskins Jr. was killed at what they believe was a business meeting gone wrong.
His widow claims, police told her who did it, that night.
"He did say 'he confessed'. He said 'he made a terrible mistake' but nothing was done," said Nikki Hoskins.
It's evidence the family claims police have, but wont use. To add pressure, they've hired attorney Benjamin Crump.
"Imagine it was your husband who gets shot point blank range and they have the witnesses, they have the gun and a confession, but yet the killer walks free," Crump asked rhetorically.
Crump helped push the shooting of Florida teen Trayvon Martin into the national spotlight. Now, like the Martin family, Hoskins' mother and widow are making their pain public.
"He had to tell me twice for it to register in to my head, hey your husband is not coming home tonight," said Nikki Hoskins.
They're hoping to move police to hold the shooter accountable quickly so they can begin moving on.
State police say the investigation is still open. While the family claims they've been told who the shooter is by police and a witness, we're withholding the name, as authorities have not identified the person as a suspect.

If you are in France for long or short term, it is a good idea to think about getting a cell phone. Even for a trip of several weeks, it is useful to have a way for members of your group or people you meet to contact you. This way you don't need to find a dirty phone booth or buy a phone card either.
For short term use, just go into any cell phone carrier boutique (Orange, Bouygues or SFR) and say "je voudrais acheter mobicarte." Mobicarte is a pay as you go SIM card. It costs around 10 euros. If your current cell phone is unlocked, meaning it can work with any carrier, you can just buy a mobicarte SIM card and insert it into your current mobile phone. (See below for more information about unlocking phones.)The pay as you go cell phone, should you need it, can be as low as about 24 euros. The employee will show you which cell phones are sold with mobicarte.
Once you have purchased mobicarte, you then need to buy minutes. Orange has packages ranging from 5-100 euros. For 25 euros and up, a bonus of 5 to 50 euros is added free of charge depending on the amount purchased. For example, the 25 euro package (with a 5 euro bonus) is worth a little over 1 hour of calls within France or about 275 text messages. In France, your minutes only count when you are making the call. Thus, if someone calls you, your minutes are not used. Still, many people in France use text messages instead so as not to use up their cell phone minutes. Once you purchase the package, you are given a code which you must enter into your phone in order to register the minutes purchased. An employee can help you with this if needed. To recharge your minutes, simply purchase a prepaid card at any boutique of the carrier or any tabac and enter the code into your phone per the instructions.
If you have established a bank account in France and you are staying for a year or more, you are eligible to sign up for a contract, which is cheaper than a prepaid phone in the long run. Be aware that most carriers also require that you have your carte de séjour, so stick to a prepaid phone until you obtain this. If you brought your US phone to France and it is unlocked, you can use this phone.
If your phone is locked and you would still like to use it, such as the iphone 3, find a boutique with several cell phone carrier logos posted outside and a sign that says "déblocage." Asking a mobile phone carrier or an Apple store employee to unblock your phone will only send you in circles (we found out the hard way). The process of unlocking the phone is under the table and will cost you about 20 euros cash. It consists of the specialist performing what is called a jailbreak and installing a program on your phone that changes its address in the settings so the phone can work with a different carrier. Then you are free to visit the phone company of your choice.
In France, a contract using your current cell phone is cheaper than a contract with a new one. Like in the US, a 24 month contract is cheaper than a 12 month contract. A 12 month contract with 2 hours of calls, unlimited texting (SMS en français), unlimited talk to 3 people (or after a certain time of day) and 500 Megs of internet per month will cost around 40 euros per month. Shop around Orange, SFR and Bouygues to find the best deal for you.
For international calls, you can buy a supplemental plan from your carrier, or you can buy a separate SIM card from an internet café such as Lebara mobile with a lower rate per minute. Happy texting!

Benedict received a 300-page report in December detailing the possible blackmail, la Repubblica newspaper and the Panorama news weekly reported, citing an unidentified senior Vatican official and dozens of unnamed sources.
The Vatican emphatically denied the allegations this weekend, with Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone criticizing a rash of "often unverified, unverifiable or completely false news stories" as the cardinals prepare for their conclave.
Cardinal Velasio de Paulis, one of the men who will help elect Benedict's successor, called the claims "guesswork and imagination."
"There is no proof and these allegations only serve to create a climate of division that helps no one," he said.
While no one outside the Vatican has seen the document that purportedly details the claims and Vatican officials have not confirmed it exists, Allen said such a claim is not improbable.
"To me that passes the smell test," he said.
Retirement preparations
Amid the scandal, the Vatican still has a transfer of power to manage.
On Monday, Lombardi said it remains unclear when the gathering of church leaders who will elect the next pope will begin.
While Benedict issued an order Monday to allow the election to begin sooner than the 15 days after the seat becomes vacant mandated by church rules, the date for the election will be set by the cardinals when they first gather, Monsignor Pier Luigi Celata said Monday at a Vatican press briefing.

Source: http://blasiannarrative.blogspot.com/2011/09/star-trek-doctor-julian-bashir.html
Let's go back to DS9 for a moment, shall we?
Sudanese-born, England-raised Siddig el Fadil portrayed the boyishly handsome, genetically enhanced, yet socially naive, British-accented Doctor Julian Bashir. By about the fourth season, the actor felt forced to change to a stage name, "Alexander Siddig", because people were having trouble pronouncing the five syllables in "Siddig el Fadil."
Keep in mind, the man's full name is Siddig el Tahir el Fadil el Siddig Abderrahman Mohammed Ahmed Abdel Karim el Mahdi…and people were bitching about "Siddig el Fadil"?
*exasperated sigh*
So anyways…there's that right there to begin with.
1) Julian Bashir is an example of what I call "using an actor as the message, not the writing." In other words, the writers didn't cast Fadil and then put words in his mouth to send a message. His casual, series-regular presence is the message. You can cast an Asian man to simply play a character. His being Asian doesn't have to be the point of the character (unlike with Sulu in the 1960s).
2) Siddig el Fadil was gorgeous; as a young girl, I primarily watched DS9 just to see him (the show so deep it went over my head at the time). So not only was the Asian actor just playing a regular guy (hear tell, 'tis an Asian actor's fondest wish in the West), but he was hot, and obviously meant to be a delectable piece of eye candy. And the British accent totally helped.
3) Dr. Julian Bashir was just that, a doctor, and a damn brilliant one at that. But we also got to know his hobbies – springball, tennis, darts, battle reenactments in the holodeck, spy stories and debating the merits of literature.
4) DS9 introduced the organization Section 31, the baddest, shrewdest, rogue organization in the Alpha Quadrant, reportedly designed to protect the interests of the Federation by any means necessary. They put the Cardassian Obsidian Order and the Romulan Tal Shiar both to shame…and they recruited Julian Bashir for covert missions. This is important because while his coworkers viewed him as a youthful, naive, sometimes annoying young man, Section 31 recognized what the audience eventually recognized: Bashir had a keenly analytical, shrewdly suspicious mind with an impeccable attention to detail. In short, he was the perfect operative.
5) Bashir was most definitely sexual; we saw him numerous times with very beautiful women, ranging from fellow Starfleet officers to sexy Dabo girls. The show even ended with his being in a long-term, committed relationship (Sulu and Ensign Kim never got that). Made sense; a man that fine and in his prime wasn't going to stay single for long.
6) One of the celebrated themes of DS9 was bromance, and we saw Bashir involved in at least two bromantic relationships, which Fadil and his castmates played to hilarious perfection.
1) Despite all its brilliance, DS9 often screwed up and primary example of that was revealing that Bashir was a genetically enhanced human being, and that he owed his phenomenal intelligence and exceptional hand-eye coordination to genetic tampering. It was also revealed that he was basically mentally impaired as a child, and when his parents simply refused to accept him as he was, they broke the law and basically had him rebuilt. They then re-enrolled him in a new school with falsified records.
Actor Fadil was surprised with this information years into the show; it literally just popped up in the script one day, not having been an original part of his characterization. It was a pointless subplot which, in a way, took something from Bashir. It made him extra annoying in a non-cute way, and portrayed his family in an unnecessary bad light (they claimed they did it for his own good, not theirs). At the subconscious level, it also seemed to tap into the notion that Asian students are basically drones whose academic dedication is unnatural.
At the same time, it was sort of amusing at to think Bashir had politely "dumbed" himself down for years, and passed amongst people as "normal."
2) Bashir was often described as "annoying" by the other characters, and the older I get, the more I see why. But I feel there is writing in conflict on the matter; while he's supposed to be young and naive and eager to please, there's also this very grave, mature, classiness which Fadil exudes that I feel defines the real Julian Bashir. One who witnesses much pain and suffering, whose entire career is based on alleviated suffering, and whose compassion is utterly and consistently outstanding, cannot also be naive. That's contradictory and self-defeating. If you're witnessing births, deaths, and maintaining confidentiality for so many different people, you can't be too clueless about the universe.
3) Bashir was irritatingly arrogant about his abilities sometimes, which I also feel is contradictory writing, because at times it seemed he was willing to put lives at risk or prolong suffering…simply to prove he could be the one to save them. No…no, no. The writers really needed to pick one. And if they need flaws to balance out his virtues, arrogance was a really poor choice.
Final Verdict:
DS9 was, IMHO, the best of the all Trek series, so I don't have too many complaints about this character. One of the things Fadil said he really liked about his role was that people were so fascinated with his character – personality, how he was written, etc. – that they didn't focus obsessively on his ethnicity. When people told him or when he read rave reviews about the show, no one ever said how much "they liked that Indian doctor" – they just said they liked the doctor and were in awe of how he was written and portrayed. This is, I think, a testament to the often excellent writing on that show, and the convincing work on Fadil's part.

In some American cities, the local government provides transportation for disabled people. I would assume that they have similar programs in Canada as well. It may be worth it for the OP's friend to see if she qualifies for such a program. Of course, she may need to be evaluated by a doctor before she can enroll in such a program.
Do you think they'd even have it for people like me? I'm not visibly disabled by any stretch, and, like I said, there are some areas that I actually have an advantage over other people (like music, for instance), but the fact remains that my left brain doesn't function nearly up to par.
The thing is, I know there *will* be emergencies at times, though, and I'd hate for people to think less of me for having to ask for a hand in those cases. But, I plan on reciprocating as best I can, by maybe inviting the people who help me out over for dinner, babysitting their kids, bringing them Powerade and Halls when they're sick, or just whatever they'd like best.
