Due to the big changes in 4.0.1 (mana gone, ArP gone, welcome focus!) I think it would be good to discuss things about the MM hunter in a separate thread.
(Half of the Cataclysm changes/abilities are nnot yet avaibles, and 3.3 is way too old for the current state.)
So: This topic is only about lvl80 gearing, talenting, gemming, enchanting, raiding, shot-priorities.
Welcome, theorycrafters!
Ps: As the theorycraft goes on its way, I'll update this post.
1.) Talent
This is a good base for talents: Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft
There is 5 floating points which can be put into 4 DPS talents:
Pathing: 1% haste /point
Bestial Discipline: 10% more pet focus / point
One With Nature: 18 AP / point
Resistance is Futile: When it procs, you could cast a focus-free Kill Command.
2.) Glyphs
We now have 3 type of glyphs: Prime, Major, Minor.
From now we have to buy (and learn) a glyph only once, after we learned it we can use them any time we want.
Minor: The recommended one are the same as before:
Major: It is very hard to find anything that helps us raiding, here is 4 of them which could be good, but that's the point with the biggest freedom.
[Glyph of Trap Launcher]: Reduces the focus cost of Trap Launcher by 10. (for AoE situations and/or CC.)
[Glyph of Mending]: Increases the healing done by your Mend Pet ability by an additional 3%. (Helps keep the pet alive.)
[Glyph of Misdirection]: When you use Misdirection to your pet, the cooldown on your Misdirection is reset. (It can be useful to transfer threat to pet, if FD is on CD.)
: Faster moving -> win.
Prime: We have several choices, we have no closer theorycraft about them yet, but maybe these are the best:
[Glyph of Kill Shot]: If the damage from your Kill Shot fails to kill a target at or below 20% health, your Kill Shot's cooldown is instantly reset. This effect has a 6 sec cooldown.
[Glyph of Arcane Shot]: Your Arcane Shot deals 12% more damage on targets afflicted by your Serpent Sting.
These are thought to be a little weaker:
[Glyph of Aimed Shot]: When you critically hit with Aimed Shot, you instantly gain 5 Focus.
There are 3 more which can be good, though not as good as the uppers:
[Dazzled Prey]: Your Steady Shot generates an additional 2 Focus on targets afflicted by a daze effect.
[Rapid Fire]: Increases the haste from Rapid Fire by an additional 10%.
[Serpent Sting]: Increases the periodic critical strike chance of your Serpent Sting by 6%.
3.) Shot priority
Our biggest priorites are to keep ISS buff on, to not waste any focus-regen (do NOT reach 100 focus), keep Serpent Sting on the target. cast instant Aimed Shot, keep HM or MfD on target.
If Hunter's Mark is not on target or running out and there's no Mark for Death on target and Mark for Death is not talented and focus/cooldowns/target health don´t allow for Kill Shot or Chimera shot
--> cast Hunter's Mark
If Kill Shot is off CD and target health is at or below 20%
--> cast Kill Shot
If Chimera Shot is off CD and got enough focus
--> cast Chimera Shot
If Master Marksman buff is up and focus won't overcap
--> cast Aimed Shot
If Serpent Sting is not on target and got enough focus
--> cast Serpent Sting
If Steady Shot won´t overcap focus and Imp. Steady Shot buff need refresh
--> cast Steady Shot
If enough focus to cast Arcane Shot now and still enough to cast Chimera Shot whenever it comes off CD
--> cast Arcane Shot
None of the above
--> cast Steady Shot
4.) Itemization
Our main stats are the following from the most important:
4.1 Hit
Hit capping is highly recommended however hit above the cap gives you no benefit. The hit cap for a hunter is 8% (247 hit rating), and you can subtract another 1% from Heroic Presence if you are a Draenei (Not anymore a group/raid buff). Note that pets do not get any from heroic presence, but generally this shouldn't impact your decision as to how to achieve your hit cap.
Pet hit will also round down, so being just slightly below the cap is usually worse than being slightly above.
4.2 Agility
Agility is one of the strongest stats for MM. It is recommended that agility be the primary stat gemmed for MM hunters (After you reached hit cap). Since agility's value isn't hugely above other stats it is often worth gemming agil/crit in yellow sockets as most yellow bonuses are worth picking up.
4.3 Mastery
It is increasing the chance for every shot to fire an additional shot for 115% weapon damage.
It isn't avaible on gear yet, there is no Mastery gems or enchants, reforging is the only way to get points in this stat.
4.4 Crit
Crit is generally a very solid stat for MM. It is especially valuable in increasing the proc rate of your Piercing Shots, which become extremely powerful at higher gear levels. You don't need to gem for it but as the best of the yellow stats available to MM (once hit capped) you may find it useful to gem agil/crit in yellow sockets to pick up most socket bonuses. Generally you don't need to be concerned about capping out on crit as MM (you need 104.8% crit before you max out on a boss).
4.5 Haste
With 4.0.1 the values of haste rating is a little bit more valuable than before.
The only shots affected by haste are autoshot and Steady shot), plus it increases our focus regeneration directly too.
5.) Pet
We place for 20 pets in our table, and we can keep 4 pets in out "bags", from where we can summon them with Call Pet. (Only one at a time.)
Pets do not give buffs, but inherit the following stats from the hunter:
- 100% hit (rounded down to the nearest integer)
- 100% crit
- 100% melee haste (Not Rapid fire and Pathing, for example.)
- 42.5% of hunter attack power
- 0% from hunter strength
Ferocity pets appear to scale at:
- 67% of hunter stamina
- 50% of hunter armor
Cunning pets appear to scale at:
- 72.5% of hunter stamina
- 60% of hunter armor
Tenacity pets appear to scale at:
- 78% of hunter stamina
- 70% of hunter armor
With the pet-revamp we can give almost any raid buffs with the right pet:
(Thanks for Malazee @ Petopia for the pictures)
Pet-damage is normalized, so every pet from the same type (Feroicity, Cunning, Tenacity) is doing the same damage. (Except the Exotic pets which are doing a little higher, but they are avaible only with BM 31pt talent.)
Tha base Feriocity talent will be likely this: Hunter Pet Calculator - Wowhead
6.) Professions
Note that since agility is stronger for MM than other stats, the professions which allow you to choose the stat of your choice give you the best benefit.
Highest DPS:
• Jewelcrafting: 3 improved gems for a potential 42 Agi gain
• Blacksmithing: 2 additional gem sockets for a potential 40 Agi gain
• Engineering: Engineering enchants are stacking with normal enchants, so you could get a Hyperspeed Accelerators (240 haste with 1 min CD) on gloves, a Nitro boost on boots, Flexweave Underlay (23 Agility rating) on cloak, Mind Amplification Dish (45 Stamina) on helmet over your standard enchants.
Good DPS:
• Alchemy: 80 AP bonus to flasks
• Enchanting: 2 40 AP enchants to ring for a potential 80 AP gain
• Inscription: improved shoulder enchant for an 80 AP gain
• Leatherworking: improved bracer enchant for an 80 AP gain
• Skinning: 40 Crit rating
• Tailoring: swordguard embroidery cloak enchant procs for 400 AP for 15 sec
• Herbalism: 240 haste for 20 seconds every 2 minutes.
Low DPS:
• Mining: 60 Stamina (no dps gain)
7.) Enchants
There are no new or changed enchants with 4.0.1, so the enchants stay the same as before:
• Helm: (Knights of Ebon Blade rep)
• Shoulder: (Sons of Hodir rep or if you're a scribe you can use the improved shoulder enchant)
• Cloak: (22 Agil from enchanters, or flexweave underlay if you're an engineer)
• Chest: (10 Stats from enchanters)
• Bracers: (50 AP, or leatherworkers can use their improved bracer enchant, blacksmiths can also add an extra socket)
• Gloves: (20 Agil) or (20 Hit) if you're low on hit (from an enchanter, engineers can use the rocket or haste enchant, blacksmiths can also add an extra socket)
• Belt: (add an extra socket created by BS, engineers can also use a frag belt enchant to throw bombs)
• Pants: (75 AP/22 crit created by LW, LW get a cheaper version)
• Boots: (16 Agil) or (12 Hit/12 Crit) if you need the hit (from enchanters, engineers also can use the 24 crit rocket boots). If you want a run speed buff you can use (6 Agil + runspeed) or (15 Stam + runspeed)
• 2H Weapon: (110 AP) or (25 Hit/Crit) if you need hit (from enchanters)
• 1H Weapon: (25 Hit/Crit), (65 AP) if you don't need hit (from enchanters)
• Ranged Weapon: (40 Crit, crafted by engineers)
8.) Gems
• Meta: (requires 1 gem of each color to activate)
• Red Sockets: if hit capped, [Glinting Dreadstone] (10 Agi/Hit) if not.
• Yellow Sockets: Use (10 Agi/Crit) or (10 Agi/haste) unless the socket bonus is not worth getting in which case use .
• Blue Sockets: Use a [Rigid Majestic Zircon] (20 hit) or [Glinting Dreadstone] (10 Agi/Hit), if not hitcapped. If you are hitcapped, use .
(Nightmare Tear's are no longer good for us, since we got no AP from Stamina (Hunter vs. Wild SV talent removed.) or from Intellect (Careful Aim MM talent removed.).)
9.) Consumables
• With the remove of our mana (180 AP) is the very best choice to us.
• (40 Agil/Stam) is usually a noticable dps gain although on less challenging content using a fish feast will still be good and cheaper
• (30 Str/Stam for your pet) is recommended for maximum dps but (20 Str/Stam for your pet) is a suitable alternative for less challenging content
• (500 Haste for 15 sec) is preferred for maximum dps.
• is usable on our pet, since it doesn't get any buffs directly.
Updated shot priority list due to Chimera buff

Corrected Flexweave Underlay (Thanks to Deabak)
Removed rolling crits with SrS (Thanks to Kirbie44)

Kershaw, SC (WLTX) -- On this Easter holiday weekend, inmates in one Midlands county were literally touched by a Biblical story.
"You always feel like there's an emptiness at some point in your life. You feel like something's missing," said ShKayla Roddey whose father is serving 44 years in prison.
And for these children, that something missing is their dads. For two brothers, their father, Tommy, has been gone since they were babies.
"I messed up, I got myself here and that's some of the things I wrote in their letters, how sorry I am for being so selfish in the decisions that I made to get myself here to be out of their lives," Tommy said.
Volunteers for Kershaw Second Baptist and Proverbs 22:6 brought children from around the state to see their fathers at Kershaw Correctional. And that visit involved a non-traditional ritual -- the inmates washing their children's feet.
"When they wipe their feet it changes them more than it changes the children's heart," Proverbs 22:6 Founder Cyril Prabhu said. "Here what the fathers are trying to show to their children is I not only love you, but I am so sorry for what I have done to you, I will get on my knees and wash your feet.
"When you see inmates that are problem inmates, they stay in trouble and then all of a sudden you see a complete turn around," Kershaw Correctional Warden Cecilia Reynolds said.
For Tommy, this reminds him of something he missed when his sons were young.
"I get a little piece of this right now just to wipe your feet and dry your feet off, let you know how much I love you and I don't mind doing this for you," Tommy said
And while these inmates may be isolated from society, Prabhu doesn't believe that should keep them from being a father.
"I know these guys have done wrong and are serving time and they're being punished and they're going through what they're going through here, but they're human beings too," Prabhu said. "And their children, when they come there and hug them and stay with them it's going to change something in their heart."
After the children got their feet washed, they were given new shoes from Samaritan's Feet. This is the first time the event has taken place and Proverbs 22:6 hopes to have other prisons participate.

Thanks man. Mine is a Century Royal and it cost me a little over $1500 after taxes. I had to go to Mississippi to get it because the local dealers only carried Leer and ARE tops, which were both more expensive. The ARE tops are real nice though. I definitely would get it again, I've had no problems with it. It's great for what I need it for, and I don't think I could have another truck without one. Let me know if you have anymore questions. Take care.

Friday Food For Thought
First up, thanks to everyone who voted on their favorite muscle groups to work at the gym! All eight of you (or maybe seven since I can't recall if I voted or not) made my poll very representative of the blogging population (sarcasm alert!). Although, based on what my I've heard my friends and clients say, it actually might be pretty accurate! Looks like legs and core tied for first, with back and chest coming in second, and no one liking arm work at all. Which, like I said, pretty much reflects everything I've ever heard when training!
Moving on, though!
Although last Friday's post also involved food, I'm obviously talking about a different sort here. I know I talk a lot about body image and staying sane and healthy with it, but today I was clicking around on my favorite blogs and came across a video that does the topic more justice than I can right now. Leah posted this video of Jean Kilbourne lecturing about images of women in the media, and it reminded me of WHY I choose to write about these topics. It reminded me why I write about eating disorders and self love and everything else. I remember seeing other Killing Us Softly videos when I was a Women's Studies major at Michigan, but this one really struck a chord with me.
So there you have it, folks.
THIS is why I was a Women's Studies major. THIS is why I want to go back to school for a graduate degree. THIS is why I want to teach about destructive images of women in the media and how we can change them. THIS is why it's so easy for me to hop up on my feminist soapbox. THIS is why half of my blog is about body image and being healthy but not succumbing to the pressures of someone else's version of perfect. Because it is a public health problem. It's not just us girls being silly and taking things too personally. Although, when I see my fellow women beating themselves up, and even DYING, striving to be some ideal that doesn't exist, I DO take it personally. But it's not just our problem. It is the problem of every single person who has any relationship with any woman. It is EVERYONE'S problem.
(That was actually my exact comment on Leah's blog, but I realized it conveys precisely how I feel about the topic, and I could think of no better words to express my thoughts, so there you go.)
Anyway, you know I love a good discussion, so lay it on me! What do you think? Of the video? Of the topic at hand? Do you think the media is damaging to the self image of today's woman? Do you think it's a public health issue? Do you think we can change this? How? I know that's a lot of questions, but SPILL!

Perhaps this Andre Villas-Boas lad knows what he's doing! It's taken just 10 minutes for his substitution of Daniel Sturridge for John Obi Mikel to pay off. Chelsea and Liverpool are level at 1-1 after 55 minutes, thanks to a goal by Sturridge. Liverpool's defending on the move was absolutely terrible, but Chelsea still did well to get bodies into the box quickly, while the change in formation and player roles certainly contributed to the goal.
Following a bad giveaway in midfield, Chelsea took off on the counter, with even John Terry getting involved with an overlapping run on the left flank. Florent Malouda took the ball forward and swung a great ball into the back post, which no one was able to deal with. Sturridge AND Juan Mata found themselves completely unmarked at the back post, and Sturridge tapped in the goal.
From a Liverpool perspective, the goal was a terrible one to give up. Charlie Adam gave the ball away, Daniel Agger should have done something with the cross, and Luis Enrique completely lost Sturridge. A giant bucket of fail. It was a great move by Chelsea, but Kenny Dalglish will be dissatisfied with his team's total failure to do anything about it.

NEW ORLEANS — As a child growing up in Sacramento, Calif., Ryan Anderson all but idolized Peja Stojakovic and the European's ability to sink 3-pointers.
As a city, New Orleans loved watching Stojakovic do the same thing as the Hornets made a run to the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference and a Southwest Division title.
Now Anderson wouldn't mind being a bridge between the two.
The 6-foot-10 3-point specialist is in his first year with the Hornets and when asked if he would like filling the Stojakovic role, his eyes glowed with joy.
"I would love to fill those shoes," Anderson said.
In 2011-12, Anderson averaged a career-high 16.1points per game and show 39.3 percent from 3-point range, making 166 treys.
Anderson was the NBA Comeback Player of the Year in 2011-12 and started 61 games in the lockout-shortened season.
Still, Orlando didn't have Anderson in their plans and, in the offseason, was happy to ship him to New Orleans for Gustavo Ayon.
Beside the jump in quality food the foodie will get in New Orleans, he's also excited about being a brick in the foundation of the renewed Hornets franchise.
"This is a team that was excited to bring me in," Anderson said. "What more could I ask for from a team? Orlando situation, I got traded. They didn't want me with their system and their buildup and New Orleans does. It's a situation where I feel really blessed doing what I'm doing and to be here."
So far, Anderson has had no complaints about New Orleans. In fact, he loves it. From the food and the restaurants to those who greet him around the city, New Orleans has been a refreshing new chapter for the 24-year-old veteran.
This past Friday, he met with fans at Boo at the Zoo. The experience thrilled him and made him appreciated his and the team's place in the city.
"This is something that's special," Anderson said. "It's special to be a part of this in a city that I'm going to be living and a part of now. Reaching out to the community is the biggest thing we can do as a team. Obviously we're just a sport. If we didn't have the community to back us up, we wouldn't be anything.
"I feel really blessed to be here and be doing what we're doing. It's fun to play with the kids and interact with the community and the fans. They're our biggest resource."
In six preseason games, he hasn't set the world on fire, shooting just 32.1 percent from the floor and 33.3 percent from 3-point range. But he is averaging 6.8 rebounds per game and is making 92.3 percent of his free throws.
He realizes that it will take a little while for things to coalesce with an extremely young team. The Hornets have lost their past three preseason games by 20.7 points.
"Obviously we've got a lot of young guys that are kind of learning this process and learning how to play," Anderson said. "We're getting a lot thrown at us for a young group, a group that doesn't have a ton of experience."
They're next crack at a win comes tonight against Houston and then they'll finish preseason against Miami on Friday. The season opener is Oct. 31 at home against San Antonio.
Regardless of the preseason record, Anderson is confident in the team's future.
"Just having that experience of playing more games in the preseason is really going to help," Anderson said. "We want to win games from the beginning. We want to steal some games at the beginning of the season."
He added, "The more ready we can be. The quicker we can be ready the better we can be. Once we get everybody together and get everybody on the same page and get everybody healthy, the better we're going to be.
"I don't necessarily think of it as stealing games, but it's just a great opportunity for us to show teams what we can do. We are a very talented team."

My tractor has a gas gauge that is integral with the gas cap. However, the clear plastic cover has severe crazing (multitude of small cracks), which makes it difficult to read the gauge. I could live with this but the cover keeps popping out of the gas cap.
Is there a replacement for this clear plastic cover available?
I see that there are complete gas gauge assemblies available for my tractor. Any recommendations?

The Atlanta Falcons do not have rookie wide receiver Julio Jones for this game, but they seem to be managing just fine with the other players. Matt Ryan found tight end Tony Gonzalez for a 17-yard touchdown in the first quarter. That put Atlanta on the board first.
In the second quarter, Atlanta kicked two more field goals, and they headed into the locker room leading by a score of 13-3 at the half. Matt Ryan was 10-for-14 with 104 yards passing and a touchdown. Running back Michael Turner had 73 rushing yards on 10 carries.
Tennessee struggled to move the ball on the ground. Running back Chris Johnson had just 12 yards on nine first-half carries. Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck has 111 passing yards and one interception.
Atlanta has the ball when the second half begins.

This is the very first of the English forced rhubarb I could get my hands on. It was nestled amongst a load of potatoes, swedes and cabbages; poking its pink feet out asking to be picked up. Admittedly my first thought was crumble but on my travels I walked past a sweet shop and my thoughts turned to rhubarb and custard.
I had a couple of blood oranges knocking about at home and I thought they would add a sumptuous citrus note to the rhubarb. Because I bought the rhubarb so early in the season it was pretty pricey but luckily two stems works out to be about the perfect amount for two. I only needed one blood orange because they gave a lot of juice. I have to confess I bought some fresh custard for this, I think it's pretty good if you want an easy pudding like I did.

Greensburg Daily News
Greensburg —
When Greensburg Police Detective Bill Meyerrose officially released the names Monday afternoon of the four Decatur County residents killed in a weekend plane crash, the news was a surprise to few.
Rumors had swirled throughout the community and through social media that Don and Barbara Horan and Stephen and Denise Butz were the victims of the fatal crash, and several area residents had paid tribute to those lost hours before the names were released by investigators.
When the official word finally came, those who knew the deceased were at last able to grieve publicly.
Bishop Christopher J. Coyne, auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis released a statement Monday afternoon offering his "heartfelt sympathy to the families and friends" of the victims.
"These deaths are particularly painful because the Horans leave behind four girls and the Butzes two boys."
Bishop Coyne went on to describe the Horans as "very active in serving their paris and the greater archdiocese over the years."
The statement detailed Don Horan's many contributions to various Catholic church services throughout the community, including his "key role" in helping raise money for the new St. Mary's Elementary School which opened in August.
"I ask everyone to please keep the Horans and the Butzes in their thoughts and prayers," Bishop Coyne said via the statement.
Following the press conference called by investigators Monday afternoon, Greensburg Mayor Gary Herbert called the Horans and the Butzes "pillars of the community" and said both families will be greatly missed.
Det. Meyerrose echoed those sentiments, saying the four victims would be "missed immensely." Meyerrose indicated Greensburg's "closely-knit" community led to the Butzes and the Horans being well known throughout the county.
What was not as well known were the many good deeds of the two men and two women lost Sunday.
Greensburg-Decatur County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Jeff Emsweller called Don Horan one of the community's "secret angels," and stated he never saw Horan without "a hearty handshake and a smile on his face."
Emsweller said Horan preferred to stay out of the public eye while making his contributions. The Chamber Executive Director also referred to the victims as "terrific people."
A prominent businessman, Horan purchased the strip mall that used to house Greensburg's K-Mart. Horan used a portion of those buildings to house Collection Associates, Inc., an accounts-receivable agency.
Receivables Management Partners, which now operates Greensburg's Collection Associates released a statement Monday night, saying, "The entire RMP family joins the Greensburg community in grieving the loss of both Don and his wife, Barb, as well as the other victims of this tragic accident."
RMP said through the statement that those killed in Sunday's crash are now "in a better place," and the group offered prayers for the Horan's four daughters.
Don Horan's neighbor, Larry Moore, said of Don, "He was one of those guys that lived life to the fullest and tried to do the right thing for himself, his family, and his community."
Moore humorously recalled that he often referred to Don Horan as "Neighbor Don," while Don returned the greeting by calling Larry "Neighbor Larry."
Dr. Michael Layne hopes to lend a hand to those struggling with the loss of the four beloved community members by inviting those grieving to visit his MDL Coffee and Tea store between 5 and 9 p.m. Wednesday. That time, Layne said, will be set aside "for those who wish to talk or process their grief." Dr. Layne added he felt it was "important to reach out to the community" following the deaths.
Responders to the tragic accident had finished much of their work by press time Tuesday.
EMA Director Rob Duckworth, who helped organize much of the search for the lost plane Sunday night, told the Daily News clean-up of the site was completed between Monday night and Tuesday morning.
Officials did not have any more information about the crash at press time.
The Daily News received word Tuesday afternoon that a memorial mass for all four crash victims will begin at 10 a.m. Friday in the Greensburg Community High School gymnasium. Father John Meyer, of St. Mary's Catholic Church, will officiate the ceremony.
A visitation for family and friends will take place from 4 to 9 p.m. at the new St. Mary's Catholic Elementary School Thursday.

Missing prisoner John Anslow has been arrested in Northern Cyprus and returned to custody.
The 32-year-old, from the Tipton area, had been at large since he escaped from a prison escort van near HMP Hewell in Worcestershire in January 2012.
He was arrested in the Alancak area of Northern Cyprus for immigration offences on Wednesday 13 March and deported by the Turkish Cypriot authorities.
Anslow was then arrested at Heathrow Airport this morning. He's been transferred to a high-security prison and will appear via video link at Stafford Crown Court on Monday 18 March.
In the past three weeks, nine men have been arrested and charged by West Mercia Police in connection with Anslow's escape.

I just fixed a bug regarding character encoding in the RssListener.
The way I loaded the news feed into the XML parser broke the character encoding in the parser.
This also had me verify that right to left languages works as expected.
Thanks to my coworker who happens to read the same language that prompted the bug report!
I don't have time to make a proper release for a couple of days due to my kids school ending for the summer.
If you feel brave and really want a better RssListener you can test my debug version that is here: logview4net_Debug.zip until I make a proper release.
Big thanks to the user who gave me the bug report.

Some Bedford County parents are concerned after they weren't informed there could be possible water contamination at their children's school.
"They usually send information home anytime something's going on" said Brandy Orange, a mother of two fifth grade boys at Thaxton Elementary School in Bedford County. "Both of them drink a lot of water because they're active in sports and we tell them they have to keep themselves hydrated."
In November, Bedford County Schools received a letter from the Virginia Department of Health saying five of their water samples tested positive for total coliform bacteria. The school's water comes from a well. The letter says "coliforms are a sign there could be a problem with the system's treatment or distribution system." It went onto say people may drink the water, while people with health concerns should talk to their doctor.
"I'm pretty ticked off right now that we had to find out on Facebook and through other parents about the water condition here at the school. A notice, a letter, nothing was sent home" said Jamee Simmons, her daughter also goes to Thaxton. "She has chronic stomach problems, she goes to a pediatric gastrologist. She's been in and out of the hospital with them, and I was told with the condition that's been going on here that could affect her."
"I just find it strange that we didn't receive notice that there was a problem and then we didn't receive notice once the problem had been solved" said Orange.
Bedford County schools tell us "We notify our parents if water quality worsens/situation escalates. In this instance it did not."
The Virginia Department of Health tells us the school posted a warning, meeting the department of health requirements and waterworks regulations do not require the notice be sent home with students.
Orange says she's happy the problem's fixed.
"I would definitely wish in the future if there is a problem with the water or anything else, just make sure you let us know" said Orange.
The Department of Health says the school's well, storage tank and distribution system were disinfected and flushed. The water tested clean December, January and February.

An increasingly popular trend in simplifying the dinner rush is the advent of a new kind of food delivery service. Falling somewhere in-between the luxury of a private chef and the basic convenience of door-to-door grocery delivery, these services provide the recipe and the preportioned ingredients — all you have to do is cook. If you're intrigued by the idea of cutting back on the trips to the grocery store (yes, please!) while still putting a home-cooked meal with fresh ingredients on the table every night, check out our breakdown of five innovative food delivery services. Bon appétit! Plated What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 How It Works: Each week, pick from Plated's selection of recipes (think Spicy Garlic Lime Chicken and Grilled Flank Steak), and place your order for a minimum of four meals. Ingredients are meant to last all week, and each meal ranges from $10-15, depending on quantities and whether or not you're a Plated member. Where They Deliver: Plated is currently available on the East Coast, from Washington DC to Boston. Consider This: Plated is not a subscription service, so you can order as much or as little as you want each week — a great feature for families with ever-changing schedules. To Sign Up: Plated 1 / 5 Chefday! What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 How It Works: Create a Chefday! account, and choose from an array of healthy, easy recipes (think Asparagus Stuffed Salmon and Summer Style Pork Tenderloin) created by popular NYC chefs. The service delivers every day, and you can select from two delivery windows. All ingredients are organic, with a focus on eco-friendly, sustainable practices. Where They Deliver: Chefday! offers free next-day delivery in NYC, and free overnight delivery to the rest of the East Coast. Consider This: For each dinner you purchase, a needy New Yorker will also receive a healthy, complete meal through the Food Bank For NYC and Chefday's "Cook 1, Feed 1" program. Pricing varies by recipe, and ranges from $12-15/serving. To Sign Up: Chefday! 2 / 5 FreshDirect's Ready-to-Cook Meals What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 How It Works: A new offering from one of the forerunners in the food delivery biz, FreshDirect's Ready-to-Cook options include "Smart & Simple" complete meal kits, Stir Fry kits, kebabs, crab cakes, and more. Where They Deliver: NY, NJ, Conn., and the Greater Philadelphia area Consider This: FreshDirect's Ready-to-Cook selections are more economical than any of the other featured services. You have the most leeway in selecting other groceries and household staples, but the recipes aren't as cohesive or foodie-friendly as the rest of the bunch. To Sign Up: FreshDirect 3 / 5 HelloFresh What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 How It Works: HelloFresh is a subscription service that offers delivery plans for three meals per week for families of two, four, or six. Each week, subscribers receive five recipes to select their meals from — next week's options include Chicken Paillard and Summer Barley Salad. Plans range from $59-$179 per week. Where They Deliver: From Maine to Miami, and west as far as Chicago. Consider This: HelloFresh operates out of the acclaimed Aquavit restaurant in NYC, and derives inspiration for its recipes both locally, and from its European affiliates. To Sign Up: HelloFresh 4 / 5 Blue Apron What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 How It Works: A true subscription service, the only choice that you make with Blue Apron is whether you want a poultry, meat, and fish, or vegetarian menu. Each week, you'll receive a box full of ingredients and recipes to make three meals for two people. Next week's options included Pulled Chicken Sliders with Homemade Pickles and Mexican Corn and Grilled Shrimp Cocktail With Asparagus and Eggplant. Each meal comes out to be $10 per person. Where They Deliver: The entire East Coast, plus some Midwestern and Southern states. Click here for a complete delivery map. Consider This: Because of its limited options in the portion and quantity departments (everyone receives three meals for two people per week), Blue Apron is best for families with babies or a traveling parent. There won't be enough food for a big brood!

Butt jokes. Get ready for a week filled with posterior pronouncements about the New York Jets. Rex Ryan's team had its keister kicked in prime time on Thanksgiving. The New York Post headline writers went full-on rumpus room with Thursday's game.
via pbs.twimg.com
The highlight, the one play that encapsulates the Jets' season in one simple image, was this one:
Yep, that's Mark Sanchez running into the hindquarters of his offensive lineman. If this picture somehow had Tebow in the frame and a frowning Santonio Holmes, it would truly be complete.

Howdy do!
I'm Erin. I'm the head cook and baker around these parts. I haven't always been much of a chef or baker, though. While I always assisted my parents in the kitchen while growing up and was assigned Hershey kiss duty for holiday baking, I never really felt that connection with all things culinary until I went to college.
Call me crazy, but I fell in love with cooking when I realized I could make dishes better than the dining hall could. And I fell deeper in love when I realized that cooking and baking are a fantastic way to bring friends together. (Because, let's be honest, who likes to cook for just themselves? Not this girl.) And then I fell head over heels when I met my now-husband, and we cooked together as a team.
Yes, I'm a sap. It's true. And I think cooking/baking is kind of my love language.
When I'm not slaving away in the kitchen – ha – you can find me working for national and local media outlets, as well as individuals, documenting news and lives through my lens. And it pretty much goes without saying that I love what I do. Every day.
Some more random information for you:
Things I can't resist: strawberry-whiskey cocktails, puppy snuggles, half marathons, dark chocolate covered pretzels, AP style (and the inevitable use of lots of parentheses even though those are NOT AP style) and semi-emo piano/guitar music.
Things I could live without: 100+ degree heat, cilantro and broken technology.

My god, you are just adorable. I mean, I've known this for awhile now, but then you go and say things like, "I'm the head chef and baker around these parts," and I get all swoony (in a non-creepy way!) all over again. Love your new digs, lady!
- June 21, 2011 at 6:15 pm
Ditto to what Kaci said!
- June 10, 2012 at 8:38 pm
I totally HATE cilantro too!
- December 14, 2012 at 11:09 am
Ah, I use parentheses like it's going out of style. Probably annoying to some but my brain thinking patterns move quicker than my fingers on the keyboard. Also, I agree with the ladies. You're adorable.

Hi Erin! I love your back-story. Haha, I think I fell into a love of cooking in exactly the same way… it warms my heart completely when I see other people enjoying my food, laughing, making conversation and leaving my little apartment feeling full-bellied and satisfied. I DO love cilantro though (argh, I hope that doesn't mean we can't be friends!). I'm a new reader of your blog so I just want to say thank you for sharing your honest thoughts, beautiful recipes and fresh inspirations. I'll be following you from now on!
- March 15, 2013 at 3:25 am
Erinnnn! Uh, this is kinda corny but I've nominated you for the Super Sweet Bloggers Award. I'm a bit of a… blog award cynic? But I decided to accept mine and write a post in a truly genuine manner, because people like you deserve to be celebrated. Take a look if you like. Sending you a hug! http://laurasmess.me/2013/03/15/awards-and-acknowledgements/

Such a lovely blog! Can't wait to read more
- August 7, 2013 at 4:04 am
Wait wait waiiiiiit… how can you live in Texas and not love cilantro?! ALL THE MEXICAN FOOD! This has just blown my mind, I don't think I could live without it..
That being said, I am really happy to have found a cooking blog that isn't so.. preachy? Can I say that? I mean, no disrespect to the other food bloggers, but I like to just see delicious food that's photographed well, so your blog is like JACKPOT! Can't wait to go explore!

I hate cilantro as well. I live in San Antonio, but back home in Arkansas my mother still drug that blasted plant home to poison the food, Ick.
- March 4, 2014 at 1:38 pm

Slowpitch Softball Bats are most commonly 34 inches in length, and between 26 and 30 ounces. The best softball bats are made from carbon fiber composite material, and are either on solid piece, or a two pieces that are joined together at the center of the bat. A good softball bat can add a great deal of distance to a batted softball. Companies like Worth, Easton, Miken, Louisville Slugger, and Combat research and refine the science of bat design non-stop. The most popular softball associations are ASA and USSSA. Each organization requires their specific stamp on a bat to be legal for use in a softball game governed by their rules. If you need help choosing a slow pitch bat, please call us and one of our friendly sales associates would be happy to assist.
Slowpitch softball bat manufacturers re-design their old bats and produce a completely new product every year that will wow players around the country. The 2014 line of slowpitch softball bats feature some of the best new bats for athletes looking to prepare for the upcoming season.
For most leagues, signups will be held within the next month and bats need to be purchased to allow for any breaking in needed. What are some of the best 2014 softball bats to get this season?
2014 Miken Psycho USSSA
This is a slowpitch softball bat that doesn't need any breaking in and is hot out of the wrapper. Miken used 750x high pressure infusion technology which injects epoxy into a high grade aerospace carbon and aramid fibers. Unlike many other popular slowpitch bats that are two pieces blended into one, this is a single piece bat that feels balanced, allowing for faster swinging speeds, improved durability and a huge sweet spot.
2014 Louisville Slugger Z2000 ASA and USSSA
This composite bat was built to be stronger and more durable than it has ever been. With this bat, you can have a smooth and balanced swing and that allows you to get the bat through the zone quicker and for more power. The 2014 model is similar to the 2013 version, but was made to be more durable. The ASA model was made with an S1iD Inner Disc that allows the bat flex more within legal limits. The USSSA model was made with Pure 360 composite that is stronger and lighter than previous versions.
2014 Worth Legit Jeff Hall Reload
Worth is one of the best brands for power hitting because they have one of the purest composite layers on the market. They do this by removing any void that is in the material and also removes excess and unnecessary weight. They also have a new carbon fiber material in the outer layer of the bat. This improves the strength and performance of the bat, while also improving the lifetime of the bat. The 454 technology Worth uses on their slowpitch softball bats also gives users an extra two inches of sweet spot on each side of the bat.

Local economic development leaders painted an upbeat view Thursday of Cass County's economic potential.
In her presentation at the Cass Logan Economic Development Organization annual dinner, CLEDO president Connie Neininger focused on statistics she said contradicted a "good ol' days" mentality.
"Everyone says, 'Well, we used to be,'" Neininger explained Friday. "We used to be the metal stamping capital of the world. We used to be the railroad center in the state of Indiana."
However, when she researched Cass County in the process of acclimating herself to the president's seat at CLEDO this fall, "I realized there hasn't been that drastic of a change regarding the numbers."
"Yes, there were a few years we had some upticks, and we had more population, but when you really take a look at the history, we're holding our own."
Since 1950, she told the roughly 85 attending the dinner, Cass County hasn't lost population. The county has even grown its retail sales in the last five years at a faster rate than the state of Indiana or the U.S. as a whole.
The county still needs to improve in some areas, she said — education among them — and isn't keeping pace with state and national improvement in some others, but overall, she said the county's statistics don't tell the dire tale that she's heard local businesspeople share.
Instead, the county is "different," Neininger said after the dinner.
"Instead of 'we used to be this' or 'we used to be that,' we are different from what it was then," she said. "Different isn't necessarily bad. Different can be good. And so what I would like to see people do is start finding what is good in the way that we are different today."
One opportunity she pointed out was the area's recently developed cultural diversity.
"We have an opportunity, especially with our cultural diversity, to be a place of destination because so many — especially of the younger generation — they are looking to move to urban centers," Neininger said. "We need to find a reason to bring families back here and that's what I think I'm seeing with our cultural diversity. It's a growth in family living.
"We need to embrace that cultural diversity."
Before Neininger's address Thursday, CLEDO board chairman Jim Hayden inaugurated the organization's Make a Difference award, recognizing Cole Hardwood owner Milt Cole this year for "his commitment, generosity and gifts."
Since Cole was unable to attend the meeting, his sons Keith and Randy Cole accepted Hayden's recognition on their father's behalf.
Hayden pointed to Cole's contribution of more than $1 million to the county's trail system, Ivy Tech Community College and Riley Hospital in Indianapolis and his annual donations to area nonprofits, including United Way, the Cass County Family YMCA and CLEDO.
"It's what other businesspeople need, and he's always leading by example," Hayden said Friday. "He never asks you to do something that he isn't willing to do a whole lot more for."
Neininger also surprised CLEDO office manager Judi Barr with a gift and a tearful expression of gratitude as Neininger informed those present that Barr would soon depart from the CLEDO office.
"I'm going to miss her," Neininger managed to choke out before stepping away from the microphone to wipe her eyes.
Barr's last day with CLEDO is March 15.

Today's weather forecast: August Gloom
In what could be one of the more culturally significant mergers in recent L.A. history, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art is moving to purchase the Museum of Contemporary Art.
According to the Los Angeles Times, a formal letter from LACMA director Michael Govan was submitted to MOCA board co-chairs on February 24th. In return for absorbing its two locations, LACMA offered to raise $100 million for the museums, both of which have had financial woes (not to mention several abdications) since 2008. In fact, LACMA had proposed an acquisition that same year, just before Eli Broad's $30 million bailout.
Govan addressed the potential consolidation directly in a blog post. "Combining MOCA and LACMA would create one of the largest and most significant art museum collections in the United States," he said. "Uniquely, LACMA/MOCA would become a general museum with a substantial commitment to contemporary art in three or more facilities designed expressly for that purpose."
Though it was MOCA board members who approached LACMA with the proposal, they have yet to comment.

Barriers to Leaving an Abusive Relationship
Barriers to Leaving an Abusive Relationship
Many people ask "Why doesn't the victim leave? Why does the victim stay?" as if it is that simple. It is important to understand that there are many barriers to safety in an abusive relationship. Leaving can sometimes be dangerous and there are many factors an abused partner must consider in the analysis of how to respond to an abusive partner. The better question is "Why does the abuser do this and how can I help the survivor gain access to safety?"
- Economic necessity
- Isolation: from friends, family, community support, resources
- Fear: of retaliation; of being alone
- Threats: the abusive partner may threaten to commit suicide or hurt their partner/children, other loved ones and/or pets, threaten to call INS (Immigration and Naturalization Services), threaten to take the children, threaten to "out" their partner to family or coworkers…
- Lack of resources or information about available resources
- Shelters are full
- Love and concern for partner's well-being (fear that partner will be arrested, imprisoned, deported etc.)
- Hope/belief that partner will change
- Culture/ religion/ family pressures to stay together
- Shame and guilt
- Depression
- Belief that the abuse is their fault
- Immigration status: fear of deportation without partner's support, fear of separation from children, law enforcement etc.
- Children: desire to provide them with a two-parent home, custody concerns etc.
You can also download this information as a handout.

As punishment, Kenseth was stripped of 50 driver points in standings, as well as the three bonus points he earned for the win that would have been applied in seeding for the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. His pole also was stripped.
Crew chief Jason Ratcliff was fined $200,000 and suspended six races.
Car owner Joe Gibbs also was suspended six races and will not earn any owner points during his suspension.
JGR plans to appeal.

La Crosse, Wisconsin (WXOW) ----- The city of La Crosse has the 2nd highest poverty rate among the 12 largest cities in Wisconsin.
On an average night, about 70 people spend the night in the Salvation Army shelter. That's only ten below the shelter's maximum.
During this very cold winter area churches have opened their doors as warming centers, but what if a person doesn't get get in? Where do the homeless go? La Crosse participated in a point in time count that's when organizations literally get a head count of the homeless in their area.
Coulee Cap conducts this every year to get an idea of the scope of the problem.
In the past News 19 has gone along for the count, but this year we went to the warming centers and meet the people who are the faces behind this very real problem.
The people that are La Crosse's homeless are very different, but all in line for the same thing-to get out of the cold.
Ron is a veteran and considered chronically homeless. "I've been here in town for 13 years, homeless for 7. I know a lot of people who have died through the winter."
James defies the stereotype. He's smart, articulate, and homeless. "I was going to school but had to drop out."
Kessi said being homeless is better than living in an abusive relationship.
People wait outside for hours to have the chance to get inside. They get numbers and only 15 people get to go inside. Someone is usually turned away.
James and Kessi said they have slept outside in the snow 3 times already this year. Coulee Cap says they didn't find anyone outside on this particular count but they estimate there were about 260 people in the shelters the night of the count which included some children.
Coulee Cap uses this information to get state funding.
They will release the final numbers February 12th.

After 14 years of the BCS, most college football types have had about enough of computers. They weren't used properly from the start, so they had to be outweighed by humans at some point along the way to keep fans from destroying their waffle makers in a fit of anti-technological rage.
Should college football's playoff thus use a selection committee to pick its four (for now) entrants, which would seem to render moot concerns over whether conference champs or top-four teams make it in? Wisconsin Badgers athletic director Barry Alvarez has come out in support of a committee:
"I like a committee and I like a committee that might be diverse enough that maybe you have some national sportswriters in it," he said recently.
"(Herbstreit) is neutral, is on top of it, talks to coaches around the country," Alvarez said. "And every week you come out with your rankings and possibly explain the process."
However, Gainesville Sun columnist Pat Dooley reports "a bowl official" says the selection committee "won't happen."
Committees work in basketball, but the biggest controversy there is whether to choose the, like, 30th or 31st best team in the country. It might be harder to sell a committee tasked with telling, say, either a Big Ten or SEC fan base that its conference champion isn't good enough. Easier to let some machines do it.
What do you think?

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
An awesome route, with a little bit of everything, located right above the approach trail at Cat Wall. Starts off thin and goes through all the sizes to fists in a LF corner (10 feet of good hands for everybody) to a tenuous stemming stance. Now crank a wild layback (tcu protected) to a "rest", before pulling the even more wild off-hands, body-length roof. Many have on-sighted up to the very last awkward mantle into a bottomless wide crack by the anchors, only to be spit off by the bizarre sequence. If you're tall enough you can clip the anchors before doing this move. A 50 meter rope works.
Bring one each blue and yellow tcus, two orange, two red, one #2 friend, two 2.5 friends, two-three #3 friends, and 4-5 3.5 friends (3 camalots work a bit better at the roof)

I loved TNG, but I still prefer TOS, especially season 3 when they had ditched Rodenberry. R's vision of Star Trek is so pretentious and dull imho. TNG also improved after R stepped down for season 3. I agree that the characters in TNG were by and large inferior to TOS. Picard and Data are the exception, I prefer both to Kirk and Spock, but Riker is a clownish Kirk rip off, Worf is a Romulan made up as a Klingon (ie honourable etc), Crusher never achieved the importance (nor medical skill) of McCoy and Geordi was a joke as Chief Engineer (a rather to specialised role for a former junior brdge officer to suddenly become). I like Troi, because she is other than Picard and Data acted with the greatest skill, plus she is a babe with such a sexy voice. There was one character I hated - Wesley Crusher! I HATE precocious brat charcters!
I also much prefered the TOS (or TOS era movie) Enterprise to the NCC 1701D. Hated the Throne room like arrangement of the chairs in TNG (captain has to stand up to see half his bridge!) and the exterior design is far to top heavy and has about 10x to many windows.
Despite all these handicaps the show still worked. 75% of the episodes were dull bottle shows, but the 25% that were not more than made up for them.
I think there's a fine line to be balanced between Roddenberry's essentially highly optimistic vision of the future, and the reality felt in modern times that that kind of harmony (on Earth, never mind amongst the stars) is looking unlikely in the near future. TNG suffered a bit from being too much like TOS but it did start to evolve in later years to present a variation to that vision, which DS9 continued.
This seems to be more of a TOS vs TNG thing but just to mention DS9, VOY and Ent that never reached TNGs level of success. The most recent treks have had a lot more competition and especially with Ent after 18 years of continuous trek it just wasn't new anymore and with trek carrying a heavy stigma it was never going to attract mass audiances even though seasons 3 + 4 where very good.
As for TOS, I always liked TNG more personally, the cast was a lot better developed, was a good ensamble and really explored a lot of science fiction and the humanity behind it. Though I think the films where definately best done by TOS.
Would be interesting to see how things had ogne if TOS gone for a whole 7 seasons and had the equivilent budget TNG enjoyed... but then had that been the case the last 40 years of star trek would have gone a lot differently!
There are many more episodes of TNG. I don't think I could watch episodes of TNG over and over and still love them like I do TOS. I used to see the TOS episodes 4-5 times a year and never got tired of them. I don't think TNG has that kind of staying power. So TOS goes deeper for me.
But when it was on the air, TNG was like my religion. My value system. LaForge and Data were role models for me in my job. My favorite parts were always when Data and Geordi would put their heads together to solve some mind-boggling space-time paradox, then present options to Picard. That team was so proficient, it never even occurred to Picard that his officers could ever screw up. The super-competence sank so deep into my bones, it was like I was being programmed.
[quote=Whitestar;94305]TNG had a good run, there's no question about that, but I would not say that its the best Trek series. Granted, it had its fair share of good episodes and while the actors were good, especially Picard Stewart and Brent Spiner's acting (with Marina Sirtis being a liability), the chemistry between them was never like TOS cast. They just were not as chrismatic as TOS cast and this in part has to do with the fact that TNG characters are not very interesting to begin with. This is not TNG cast fault, its Roddenberry's because he created these characters who came across as bland, righteous, preachy people who were true blue heroes who could do no wrong and always told the truth. They were essentially black and white characters with no shades of grey. Essentially, they were cardboard caricatures, not real human beings with flaws, warts, vices and all that good stuff. DS9 got that right and to an extent, even TOS, they were more real to me and that's why I can relate more to these people as opposed to TNG. But what's worse, TNG had no interpersonal conflict, thus, making the show very boring at times. Conflict is the very essence of good drama and if Roddenberry wanted to write for a show that featured no interpersonal conflict, then he would have been better off writing for Sesame Street! In a lot of ways, DS9 is a more worthy successor to TOS than TNG because both TOS and DS9 proved that despite the characters flaws, differences and internal conflicts, when push came to shove, they all worked together as a team and pulled through for each other. An example of this was the love-hate relationship in TOS involving Spock and McCoy and DS9 involving Quark and Odo. They had their differences but they always had a certain respect for each other and save each other lives many times. Michael Piller who wrote for TNG and DS9 said it best, "people who come from different places—honorable, noble people—will naturally have conflicts".
Furthermore, in one interview prior to TNG television premiere, Roddenberry stated that the relationship between Picard and Riker would be a more closer one than Kirk and Spock. Well, in retrospect, that never happened. While the relationship between Picard and Riker was that of respect and admiration, theirs was always more formal than Kirk and Spock. Kirk and Spock hugged each other, went on shoreleave together and even sang campfire songs together. They were more than just friends, colleagues and shipmates, they were family. That was never the case with Picard and Riker and I wished they had a deeper friendship than the final product. Hence, TNG cast did okay on tv, but barely because their chemistry felt forced and they can't carry a film to save their lives, their track record is proof of this. /quote]
But I'll add that while DS9 stories were better (due to the way TV had evolved to maintain a story arc over many episodes) none of the characters beyond the original series has their iconic potential.
I believe the movie proves this point very well. The characters from the original series have reached a place within our culture that is the equivalent of literature. In other words, they are unique enough that in 40 years, Spock, Kirk and McCoy can be seen again with a different cast and be believable. We love these characters and can re-imagine them again and again.
This is quite an achievment for TV.
Erruve ~ Elf
Ok i wasnt much of the original series because i havent really seen to many episodes,so i guess TNG was the series that got me hooked(not including the ST movies)i grew to love the character, i wasnt much of a fan of the galaxy class starship was first but now i miss it.
TNG has definitley been growing on me, I'm more a Kirk and Spock fan than Picard and Riker but comparing episodes, TNG storys are much better wen compared to TOS episodes were kirk and spock go to a civilsation like gangster mobs, episodes like that had nothin to do with space or what I think trek really is, while as TNG the storys are all good and are always what I think trek is with all the trekbabble but compared with TOS episodes like mirrors they don't come close
"Live long and Prosper"
I love TNG very much, but there is something special about TOS. Everytime I pop in a DVD of TOS, It's just special. That said, Voyager is by far my favorite Star Trek!
A conversation of TOS vs TNG (and other modern ST series) is difficult. Both brought something very different.
TNG was perhaps the best series (of the newer stuff), however, it has flaws, and I think a ST fan could agrue DS9 held together the franchise the longest after the peak of TNG. DS9 brought new fans in, for the most part keep TNG fans.
So while I may prefer TNG, I may have to tip my hat to DS9, as it continued the universe when TNG was running dry (helping projects like TNG movies, VOY, and ENT).
Have you ever remembered what life was like before you were born? That's how it will be like after you're dead.

Sydney Airport has spent $90 million on upgrading the baggage systems at T1 and T2 to meet the Australian Government's requirements for 100 per cent checked bag screening.
100 per cent checked bag screening involves screening every bag to ensure that any bag containing explosives is detected and not placed in the hold of an aircraft.
To achieve this, reliable mechanisms for screening every bag before it is loaded onto a flight must be in place.
Checked bag screening is an important part of the security procedures that operate at Sydney Airport. The security screening system includes in-line x-ray units and conveyors.
The checked bag screening system provides security screening for hold stow bags on international and domestic flights including:
The checked bag screening system at Sydney Airport has been designed to screen thousands of bags every hour.

Defender Fabio has overcome his long-term hamstring injury and is available for QPR's relegation battle against Saints tomorrow.
Park Ji-sung (knee) is unavailable and Bobby Zamora (hip) is a doubt, but Ryan Nelsen and Jamie Mackie are both fit despite missing their respective games with New Zealand and Scotland this week.
Stephane Mbia is suspended, Kieron Dyer and Hogan Ephraim are available after overcoming their respective calf and hamstring problems, but striker Andrew Johnson (knee) is out.
Provisional squad: Green, Cesar, Onuoha, Fabio, Hill, Nelsen, Ferdinand, Bosingwa, Traore, Derry, Diakite, Park, Granero, Taarabt, Hoilett, Faurlin, Wright-Phillips, Ephraim, Mackie, Zamora, Cisse.

Well, it looks like the Matt LaPorta Story isn't going to have a happy ending. Not this season, anyway. Paul Hoynes:
In a surprising move Tuesday the Indians optioned first baseman Matt LaPorta to Class AAA Columbus to make room for right-hander Jeanmar Gomez on the 25-man roster. Gomez will start against Oakland on Tuesday night at Progressive Field.
LaPorta, one of the few healthy regulars left on the Indians, has had a disappointing year. He's hitting .238 (76-for-319) with 18 doubles, 11 homers and 44 RBI in 97 games.
Nobody hits on every trade. I'm going to guess that almost exactly the same front-office personnel and front-office processes were in place when the Indians traded Bartolo Colon for Grady Sizemore, Cliff Lee and Brandon Phillips and when they traded CC Sabathia for Matt LaPorta, Michael Brantley, Zach Jackson and Rob Bryson.
Sometimes you hit and sometimes you miss, but rarely is the contrast between hit and miss so stark as it's been for the Indians in these two deals.
LaPorta was the seventh pick in the 2007 June draft; roughly one year later, he was tearing up the double-A Southern League. Granted, he wasn't young for that circuit, at all. But the general consensus was that he would develop into a good major-league hitter, at least.
Brantley was a pretty good prospect, too, and has actually been fairly useful to the Indians.
When the Indians traded Bartolo Colon, they got three future stars.
When the Indians traded CC Sabathia, they got zero future stars.
The average, one-and-a-half stars, is probably about what you would expect when trading two superstar pitchers with two months left on their contracts. At best. On balance, the Indians made about as well as they could have. Which doesn't really help much now, since Sizemore's hurt and Lee and Phillips are long gone.
