This rhodochrosite enhancer is a tribute to the passionate beauty in all of us. The rouge-colored cabochon sits pretty in a stunning framework of highly polished sterling silver shaped with a fanciful scroll design. Wear it with your favorite gemstone bead or liquid silver necklace for a radiant highlight to your days and nights. The enhancer measures 2-1/2" long x 7/8" wide and features a marvelously decorated snap hinge bail. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
Our Sincerely Sisters passionately voted to crown two gorgeous gems in sculptural sterling silver. True to our sisterhood, blue lace agate and rhodochrosite are the perfect balance of bold and beautiful!
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

I haven't been to a graduation since my boys graduated high school in 1991. At their graduation, each and every student got a big round of applause when handed his/her diploma. I'm sorry, I think it's an occasion to be celebrated, and I see no problem with that.

- Mari said...
Congrats to your niece!
I went to my nephews graduation a few weeks ago and it went exactly like yours. We kept quiet as instructed and got pretty frustrated with the rowdiness that increased as each name was called.
These graduations are long enough and this just makes them longer. If we hadn't been instructed to keep quiet till the end, it wouldn't be so bad. Oh well - we'll have to wait and see how your other graduations go!
- June 13, 2011 at 12:14 PM
- Betty said...
I guess with that many graduates it´s almost inevitable for this to happen.
Congrats to your niece and good luck with the next graduations. Hopefully the people there will be more respectful.

i would have totally got thrown out....how riduculous...solemn? this is a celebration...people are not dying, but escaping, ha...yeah i went to a graduation this year...they are long but it was great to see the hope on their faces...

I went to my niece's graduation a few years ago and everyone applauded after each kid's name was called but they just kept on going, reading names off full speed ahead. I didn't know it was a "thing" now to try and put the kybosh on joy. Besides, as you said, the moment the parents were lectured they felt chastened and then I'm sure they felt rebellious. I'm well-behaved until someone tells me what to do. Har.

I can understand how some people can get out of control but for the most part, they should've let them cheer or at least wave their posters....they worked for it and why not have the family support?
Godson is graduating??? He's growing up so fast!!!
- June 13, 2011 at 4:43 PM
- Tracy said...
Yeah, last year when my son 'graduated' from 5th grade to go to Middle School...I question why kids 'graduate' from pre-school and Kindergarten and yes, fifth grade; what do they have to look forward to if they've been there-done that!
oh well, glad you survived and congrats to all your graduates!
- June 13, 2011 at 5:17 PM
- Pseudo said...
Over here, the cheering and clapping is a part of the process. There are still families who take it to an unnecessary level though.
On a side note, the middle school where I work calls 8th grade ceremony a "promotion." To discourage anyone from using it as a replacement for the real deal ; -)

I'm going to guess that there were 1,500 to 2,000 graduates at my daughter's college ceremony a couple of weeks ago. They went as fast as they could, but seriously... stopping the ceremony every time someone showed some excitement or pride in their child's achievement. That's too much. Everyone cheered for their kids at this one and it was terrific. A real celebration. I wouldn't change a moment.
- June 13, 2011 at 7:02 PM
- Jeanie said...
It's been a while since I've been to a graduation, but since it is a celebration I feel like a little, well, celebrating is not such a bad thing. The principal saying "not one peep" would have made it a little harder for me to control myself :)

congrats to your niece! I went to my daughter's last year but it seems like such a long time ago already!
- June 13, 2011 at 7:43 PM
- deb colarossi said...
I'm a little torn on all of this. I get the need to keep a good pace by saving all the clapping until the end, but inevitably the rowdy starts happening toward the end regardless as time where's on and people get restless.
Then the hoot and holler seems out of place or something.. And I think some people are generally just way more bold than I ever imagine. It's entertaining at least :)
- June 13, 2011 at 8:32 PM
- lisleman said...
I suspect the administration has been running these for awhile and tries to control things to keep it moving along. It wasn't a military academy was it?
I don't see a big problem with a quick hoot or holler but I guess they want to get on to the next name.
Some day in the future they will just tweet the names out over twitter.

We are not very big on that graduation thing over here, it tends to only happen when our little cherubs leave University, clutching their degree's, at around age 23..! Oh, we have Proms and parties and all that sort of stuff along the way too, though (grin).. I think the kids find it much less stuffy and far more fun!!
- June 14, 2011 at 3:03 AM
- Flartus said...
Oh, come ON, there has GOT to be a middle ground!! Parents should at least be able to clap for their kids. But it seems there's no ability to self-moderate any more.
If only there weren't so many morons out there with airhorns and speeches to make...you're right, it should be all about the grads. They're the ones to be making speeches. The whole scenario makes me glad I don't have any graduations to attend this year.

I think a little hooting and woot wooting is exactable! Come on if I could whistle really loud I would! Congrats to all your grads!
- June 14, 2011 at 6:52 AM
- Tammy said...
Congrats to your neice. She's off to an awesome start in life. What a huge class she graduated with. No wonder they wanted it to be quiet and quick. Poor kids with their parents doing crazy stuff, but on the parents part, it might have been a bit of pay back for all their teenagers have done to embarrass them? I wouldn't have done that, but to each his own.
- June 14, 2011 at 8:44 AM
- Taradharma said...
what an amazing scholar you have there in your niece. I'm in awe!
I am generally appalled at public behavior these days. Solemnity is out of fashion, I guess.
Graduations are horrible, boring events that must be endured to show support and give recognition to those we love. I sure wish there were a better way!
- June 14, 2011 at 10:03 AM
- Hilary said...
Yes, I've seen my two boys graduate this past year. The difference between the two events was like night and day between formal and casual.
My older boy graduated from military college and was commissioned as an officer in our Canadian military - a two day event. It was very formal but nobody needed to be told to behave.
My younger boy graduated from an education facility where he learned all about the business of live stage production. That was almost as comfortable and casual as going to a rock concert. We were practically encouraged to be silly.
Both events made me extremely proud.
Congrats to your niece. :)

My son graduated from high school on May 26. We were not asked to maintain our enthusiasm in any way so I clapped for every single graduate (except my own son, ironically, I was video taping his walk across the stage). I think it's asking an awful lot of parents to restrain themselves from a little polite applause as their child receives his/her diploma. Just my two cents.

- Zuzana said...
Graduation are so very different from country to country. Having lived in so many, I can see even differences between the neighboring Scandinavian countries. The last graduation I went to was my own.;) But hoping soon to get to see my nieces and nephews to graduate. And my step-children.;))
- June 15, 2011 at 2:10 AM
- TechnoBabe said...
Good description of a graduation ceremony. When my nephew and my older daughter graduated high school the same rules applied and were eventually ignored. Which meant it took hours to get through handing out the diplomas. Hot, tired, cranky family members squeezed into one large room is not a pleasant place to be after a few hours. Congrats to your niece.

Congrats to your grad., and double congrats. to your niece going off to vet school. I know it's tough just to get accepted at a vet school; so good for her; I hope she enjoys the experience.

OMG! I last attended a graduation ceremony a couple of years ago (and the three years previous to that) and every time it is the same....holy cow! I would have killed my parents if they had acted that way....no wonder some young adults choose not to walk......my goodness.....smiles.

Funny post, Joanna Jenkins. I felt like I was there. I'll be attending my nephew's 8th grade graduation next year, as well as his younger brother's 5th grade grad. I have yet to make it to anyone's preschool or kindergarten graduation though--that's taking it a bit too far?
Thanks for sending so much traffic my way--your blog alone is responsible for sending over 200 readers this past month. I'm impressed with your following of almost 500. How did you do it (besides the great posts, of course)?

At my older son's HS graduation this year, the principal sent home a letter in advance warning us not to be disruptive, yell, have cowbells, or chew gum. It did not seem to work.
- June 15, 2011 at 4:21 PM

The last one was 2yrs ago for my niece. She was the last one in the family. Those ticket are hotter than a chili pepper. How exciting for your godson to be going to HS.xo

My daughter just graduated from high school. There was some hooting, hollering, and clapping. It made it slightly fun, and some levity was needed because there were 625 in the graduating class. They just kept ticking off the names. The ceremony was decorous but joyous - it was in the football stadium, so how serious could it possibly be?

The last graduation I attended was my youngest son from Cal Poly. It was outdoors in their stadium and it was all quite orderly, with each school receiving their diplomas, then the students cheered in unison, throwing up their caps at the end. I, honestly, don't remember much screaming or yelling from the bleachers when each student's name was called. I think there was a choice, for Jeremy, of attending graduation in an auditorium or outdoors at the stadium - or both -
he opted for outdoors on the beautiful sunny day. I did share a tear or two!!
Just got out of the hospital yesteday, Joanna. It was a long five days!
- June 15, 2011 at 10:05 PM

I imagine those parents were trying to celebrate rather than be all serious and solemn. How ridiculous not to allow clapping! (I definitely would have been sent out...)

Anytime you get a crowd together for a big to do, good or bad, there's always someone who can't behave....blazing the trail for others who had just been holding on to their decorum by their fingernails.
I haven't been to a graduation in years, but this doesn't surprise me at all. How sad a commentary is that??
- June 16, 2011 at 4:33 AM
- Cindy La Ferle said...
Enjoyed your post today. It brought back memories of my son's graduations in 2008 and 2011 ... such a milestone for kids and their families! We're getting ready to see my son's girlfriend's graduation (MA) from Northwestern.
I've never witnessed a display such as the one you wrote about. My goodness!
- June 16, 2011 at 5:07 AM
- Marisa @ getting Back To Basics said...
I consider a graduation a joyful occasion for the student and maybe more so for the parents who have worked so hard to put their children on the right path that they have reached this point. Hell, yes, I clapped when my daughters walked across the stage and I can't imagine not being allowed to.
- June 16, 2011 at 10:15 AM
- Unknown Mami said...
Kind of a bummer to start out a ceremony start with a lecture, though! Sounds sort of like a self-fulfilling prophecy. Jackasses will act like jackasses regardless of being lectured, whereas all the other people that would behave themselves regardless have to be scolded for no reason.

Yes, my daughters, last month. One more for me (my son next year). WooHoo! lol

At Kyle's graduation last year, the principal announced the same type of stuff, but it did absolutely no good. The thing that really irritated me was the number of AIRHORNS used. Seriously! SO RUDE! This year, I watched it on-line (just to see former students). Same routine, but the airhorns were much less annoying from this distance :) And I agree--those are self-absorbed parents who steal the show from their kids AND embarrass them.

Willow Oak trees are considered some of the most beautiful trees planted in Washington, D. C., a city known for its wonderful tree planting. The lumber has been utilized since pioneer days for interior paneling, newel posts, pulpits, pews, bar tops, wagon axles, stairs, railings, balustrades, bedsteads and flour barrels. The first scientific observation regarding Willow Oak trees was made in 1723.
Normal moisture requirement, but with some drought tolerance.
This tree's leaves resemble those of the Willows, from which it derives its name. They are spear-shaped, 2 to 5 inches long; a tiny bristle tips each leaf.

Bloom Time
Fruit Description
The fruit is round, 1/2 inch long, attractive to wildlife.
Rate of growth refers to the vertical increase in growth unless specified differently. Rate, as is true for size, is influenced by numerous variables such as soil, drainage, water, fertility, light, exposure, ad infinitum. The designation slow means the plant grows 12" or less per year; medium refers to 13 to 24" of growth per year; and fast to 25" or greater.Manual of Woody Landscape Plants, by Michael Dirr.

Washington—The top Senate Democrat on intelligence issues said Sunday she would investigate the Federal Bureau of Investigation's handling of the inquiry into Central Intelligence Agency chief David Petraeus, including why top lawmakers weren't informed of the investigation before it became public.
David Petraeus, shown in September, resigned as CIA chief suddenly on Friday, saying he had an extramarital affair. Associated Press
CIA Director David Petraeus resigned as head of the intelligence agency, saying he "showed extremely poor judgment" by engaging in an extramarital affair. Neil King has details on The News Hub. Photo: AFP/Getty Images.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.), the chairwoman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, said on "Fox News Sunday" that she learned of the Petraeus investigation on Friday when her staff began getting press inquiries on the matter. She said she and other committee leaders are routinely made aware of investigations involving national security issues prior to them becoming public.
"We received no advance notice" of the inquiry involving Mr. Petraeus, said Sen. Feinstein. "It was like a lightning bolt." She later added: "This is something that could have had an effect on national security. I think we should have been told."
The Petraeus matter, stemming from an extramarital affair that led to his resignation, will be taken up during a previously scheduled hearing before her committee this week, she said. The hearing will focus on the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya.
Felled by Scandal
There is a long list of leaders felled by allegations of personal or ethical lapses in recent years, including the CIA's David Petraeus and Lockheed Martin's Christopher Kubasik.
Sen. Feinstein said her committee may ask Mr. Petraeus to testify before Congress. Sen. Feinstein also dismissed speculation that Mr. Petraeus's investigation was linked to fallout from the Libya attack.
Meanwhile, House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Peter King (R., N.Y.) called for an investigation into whether the FBI took too long to disclose its findings to the National Security Council and President Barack Obama.
"It just doesn't add up, the whole time line here," Mr. King, who also serves on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union" program. "The president should have been informed at the earliest point."
Mr. Petraeus stepped down suddenly on Friday, saying he had an extramarital affair. The affair was discovered by the FBI during an investigation into potentially harassing emails sent by a woman romantically linked to Mr. Petraeus to a second woman, according to people familiar with the matter.
The FBI and prosecutors in North Carolina and Florida began their investigation last spring. Initially, they looked at the possibility that someone had hacked into Mr. Petraeus's emails but later determined no cyber-breach had occurred.
The FBI and Justice Department informed the Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, of their findings early last week. Mr. Clapper informed Obama administration officials on Wednesday.

Sprouted Nut Butters
|This catalog has no sub-catalogs.
Made from whole, unpasteurized organic almonds from Italy, this organic almond butter is artisan made using our Better Than Roasted process.
Italian almonds aren't pasteurized like almonds grown the States, so you can be sure that the Italian almonds we use in our organic almond butter are free of chemicals or heat-sterilization that would diminish their nutrients.
Our organic almond butter has the highest protein content of any nut butter, and is rich in minerals, including magnesium, potassium, phosphorous, and especially calcium. They are high in mono-unsaturated fat, which helps to lower LDL cholesterol, and they contain oleic acid, which is believed to protect against heart disease. Organic Almond Butter is great spread on crackers or fruit or mixed into smoothies and shakes for an added protein punch!
Ingredients: Premium, organic, whole, raw, sprouted "European Truly Raw Almonds" .
About Our Better Than Roasted® Product Line
Better Than Roasted presents a line of soaked, sprouted and dehydrated, certified organic raw nuts and seeds, whole nut and seed butters, trail mixes, and love bites.
Our Better Than Roasted process maximizes the bioavailability of essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients in our nuts and seeds. We begin with nuts and seeds that are raw, premium, whole, and certified organic. We then hand sort, soak, rinse, and dry them at a low temperature, not exceeding 108° F, which preserves temperature-sensitive enzymes and nutrients.
Once you try Better Than Roasted, you will agree that our sprouted nuts and seeds are not only better than traditional nut products, but healthier too!

The VH-3D Sea King Model shows a twin-engine, all-weather helicopter in support for the transportation operations of the United States President. It was flown by the Marine Helicopter Squadron One. It was developed from the series of Sikorsky S-61 and it was already in the air more than 40 years. The Sea King helicopter model replicates the original built as an anti-submarine sensor carrier for the United States Navy. It is the replacement for the SH-60F Sea Hawk for the role of an antisubmarine warfare helicopter. In December 1974, the helicopter was delivered to HMX-1 to replace the VH-3A. It entered the service in 1963. The VH-3A helicopter military model show the original that was entirely replaced by the VH-3D in 1976.
The United States Army Executive Flight Detachment was activated in January 1958. Together with the Marine Helicopter Squadron One they were given a task to evacuate the President, his family and other government officials. The VH-34D aircraft model shows what was the primary executive transport helicopter but it was replaced by the VH-3D Sea King in 1961. It was built for the United States Navy as a carrier based anti-submarine helicopter with modified interiors. The Sea King model replicates the original, which was the preferred VIP and executive transport.
John F. Kennedy requested the executive aircraft to bear unique markings. He wanted the choppers to have a white and green paint design on both sides of the fuselage, a flag of the United States on the engine cowling, and the Presidential seal on the nose of the helicopter. The helicopter is still in use. The Sea King helicopter model shows the machine that can be seen on televisions whenever it is being used to transport President Barack Obama.
Buy the VH-3D Sea King model helicopter that is most famous for its continued service to the President of the United States for almost 50 years.

A homicide investigation is underway in Glens Falls after police say a five year old was beaten to death. His mother and his mother's boyfriend are charged in the crime. Brooke Selby spoke with police, who say more charges are likely.
Police believe the assault happened Thursday at a home on Mission Street.
"Upon arrival, we determined that the child was the victim of a head injury, so the child was flown to Glens Falls hospital," said Glens Falls Police Chief William L. Valenza.
Gary was flown from Glens Falls Hospital to Albany Med, where he was later pronounced dead.
Valenza said they "have confirmation that the boy has died and it's something that will affect the charges; it's up to the District Attorney on how they will proceed. "
Thursday, Police arrested the boys mother, 23-year-old Jennie Mattison, for reckless endangerment and her boyfriend, 24-year-old Brandon Warrington, for assault and reckless endangerment. However, those charges could change.
"It's turned into a homicide investigation now," Valenza said.
Those close to the family say this abuse was not out of character for Warrington.
"The girl he was with before, I dont know about this one, he actually hit her and that's when we became sworn enemies," Suba said.
Many are also wondering how any mother could put her child in harms' way.
"I just honestly don't see how a mother could let her boyfriend do what he did. It's just horrible," said Katie Johnson.

Rich to serve as interim elementary principal
Jeff Rich, South Adams Middle School principal, will serve as interim elementary principal until another interim or permanent principal is secured for the spot vacated by Brian Strauss, when he submitted his resignation on Oct. 3.
At its regular monthly October school board meeting, board members both officially accepted the resignation of Strauss and agreed with a recommendation from Superintendent Scott Litwiller that Rich fill the position until a more permanent solution can be acted upon.
Strauss surprised school officials when he tendered his resignation to Litwiller on Oct. 3, effective immediately. At the time, Strauss informed Litwiller that he is under investigation in relation to his previous employment in another county.
Litwiller said at the time that the investigation did not involve his work for or presence in South Adams Schools.
Prior to coming to South Adams, Strauss had been employed by South Central Elementary School in Union Mills in LaPorte County. Litwiller advised that those with questions or concerns that would normally be addressed to an elementary school principal should be referred to Rich.
In other personnel matters, board members approved employment of Lisa Brotherton as part-time special education aide; hired Morgan Mitchell as a high school social studies teacher to replace Jason Arnold, who has been employed as athletic director; supported a recommendation by high school principal Trent Lehman to appoint Jane Miller and Lana Sharp as monitors for the after-school study table on Mondays and Wednesday from 3:10-4:10 p.m.; and approved Arnold's recommendation for winter athletic coaches.
Athletic coaches will include: wrestling head coach Eric Myers, varsity assistants Jeff Heller and Andy Myers and volunteer coaches, Robert Loshe, Ethan Fiechter and Jim West. Wrestling middle school coaches include head coach Ben Wanner, assistant coach Isaac Werst, and volunteers Jeff Sprunger, Jackson Werst and T.J. Burnfield.
Basketball appointments include head coach Andy Brown, assistant coach Josh Hendrixson, junior varsity coach Ryan Thomas, freshman Luke McClung, eighth grade Gene Grogg and seventh grade Don Foust.
Girls positions include head coach Brett Freeman, varsity assistant still open, junior varsity coach Morgan Mitchell, eight grade coach Chad Grabau, seventh grade Steve Dellinger and middle school volunteers Don Pierce and Brad Wurster.
Janelle Gresla retains the position of swimming head coach, accompanied by staff assistant Derek Kirchhofer and an open position. Middle school swim coach is Tami Sprunger and volunteer Jeff Sprunger.
Board members approved the 2013 budget as advertised on August 15 and 22. Total budget is $15,668,664, breaking down to $10,145,241 for general fund, $1,845,342 for debt service, $1,886,181 for capital projects, $1,384,900 for transportation, $107,000 for bus replacement and $300,000 for a rainy day fund and the 2013 budget.
In addition, Litwiller asked board members to approve, in connection with the budget legislature, approval of the capital project fund plan, bus replacement plan and the 2013 budget.
In addition, board members approved legislation designed to comply with the Children's Internet Protection Act that requires schools to monitor the online activities of students. Monitoring wording must be in policy and recorded in the board minutes for the school to be eligible for E-rate pricing for the Internet service.
Grayson Hogg garnered support from board members to promote a fundraiser to raise money toward a Nick Taylor Honor Scholarship Fund. The fundraiser is based on a special flag honoring mothers who have lost children to military fatalities.
Also, principals Lehman and Rich updated board members of their continued efforts for a school improvement plan.

Snoop Dogg Dives Deep for Adidas
Last week, Adidas and Portland-based shop Kamp Grizzly launched a brand new star-studded campaign called "All Originals," which matched the brand's Originals sneaker line with inventive and stylish celebrities from the world of entertainment.
Aside from the minute-long TV spot, Kamp Grizzly also shot a collection of 40-second vignettes that focus on the celebrity endorsers' individual philosophies on how one becomes an icon. For Snoop Dogg, an ascent to fame consisted of murder charges, cameos on classic early-90s Dr. Dre songs and a whole lot of weed. But, two decades into the Doggfather's career, he's established himself as not only a hip-hop icon, but a general entertainment icon, with new generations of music fans discovering songs like "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang" and falling in love. Also featured in the above spot are Mike G and Domo for L.A. shock-rap collaborative OFWGKTA, which now marks the second time the group's gotten a mention on AgencySpy. The celebrity-dominated minute-long spot and credits follow after the jump.

A risk factor is something that increases your likelihood of getting a disease or condition.
It is possible to develop SLE with or without the risk factors listed below. However, the more risk factors you have, the greater your likelihood of developing SLE. There is no way to reduce your risk.
SLE occurs primarily in women of childbearing age. It affects nonwhite women more frequently than white women.
The major risk factors are:
- Gender —The majority of people with SLE are women.
- Age —SLE first occurs most often in the late teens to early 30s.
- Ethnic background —People who are African American, Native American, Asian, or Hispanic are at greater risk than those who are white.
- Family history —Having a relative with SLE increases your chances of developing the disease.
- A history of celiac disease

|Moral :
|This episode claims that the Prime Directive applies only to Starfleet personnel. So the Federation doesn't mind at all if its citizens go out and interfere with other cultures, so long as its official representitives don't do so. Does this really sound right to anybody? What's to stop somebody like Vash from going and conquering some primitive planet with advanced technology so she could strip the place, like the Ferengi did in Voyager's "False Profits"?
Also, how come Beverly won't let the Odin survivors be beamed up? Sure, they might die on board the ship because of the disease. But as far as anybody knew, they would definitely die on the planet! What would you rather do, take your chances with the virus or get disintergrated?
|Great Moment :
|Yar and Troi laughing at Riker's outfit. These gals obviously don't care much about their promotion prospects!
|Body Count :
|No deaths. Picard is hit in the face with a snowball, though. And a big urn is disintegrated. But it wasn't a very nice urn, so that's okay.
|Factoid :
|The crystal Riker gives to Beata will reappear in DS9's "Q-less" as an alien egg.
The Angelian city view is recycled throughout the later incarnations of Trek, notably as Starbase 515, a Banean city and a city on Klaestron IV.
We get a pretty accurate speed for the Odin's escape pods in this episode. Riker and Data note that the Odin pods took five months and six days (and change) to cover the distance the Enterprise covered in two days at Warp 1. We know that Warp 1 is the speed of light, so that's two light days of distance. How long a month is varies somewhat, but let's take 30 days as a baseline; the pods therefore took 156 days to cover the distance, which means they go at 1.282% of the speed of light. Essentially, very low impulse speed. Of course by present day standards even this crawl is incredibly fast - for example compare it to the space probe Voyager 1 speeds along at around 60,000 km/h. The Odin escape pods are some 230 times faster than this!
|Quote :
|"In our society we share the responsibility and the pleasures equally." - Riker to Beata; on Human gender equality (there wasn't much to choose from in this one.)
The Enterprise is investigating the loss of the Odin, a freighter which vanished without trace seven years ago. The ship is located, but it is abandoned and three of the escape pods are missing. Picard heads to Angel I, the nearest habitable planet, to see if any survivors have made their way there. Although Angel I is known to the Federation, it has been decades since the last contact. The planet's culture is entirely dominated by women, who are larger and stronger than the men; the men are reportedly treated as second class citizens.
The ship contacts the planet's leader, Mistress Beata, and although she initially refuses to confirm or deny the presence of Odin survivors, she agrees to allow a team to beam down to discuss the matter. Riker takes Data, Troi and Yar down with him; face to face Beata continues her evasiveness, obviously distrustful of the outsiders. She orders the team to wait in a nearby room whilst she discusses the matter with her advisory council.
On the Enterprise, Picard informs Worf that a message from Starfleet command has informed him that a group of Romulan battlecruisers has been detected near a Neutral Zone border outpost. Starfleet wants the Enterprise-D to proceed to the area for a show of force. During the conversation Picard is hit by a snowball flung out of the holodeck by Wesley. Whilst telling the youngster off, Picard and Worf both detect an odd odour.
On returning to the council chambers, Beata informs Riker that there are indeed survivors from the Odin on Angel I, four of them. She extracts a promise from Riker that he will remove the men, claiming that they are fugitives who began to stir up political dissent, which she considers an abuse of the hospitality which had been shown to them.
On the ship, Crusher informs Picard that Wesley and a boy he was playing with in the holodeck are ill with a respiratory condition. She is working on a vaccine, but has no idea how serious the condition is or how contagious. However, she has quarantined everybody who was with Wesley in the holodeck to be on the safe side.
On Angel I, Data suggests that the Enterprise might be able to use its sensors to locate the Odin survivors by scanning for traces of platinum, a metal which the planet naturally lacks. La Forge begins the scan; meanwhile Riker dons local garb for a private meeting with Mistress Beata, much to the amusement of Troi and Yar.
On the Enterprise, Crusher declares Picard unfit for command after he develops the same disease as Wesley. He reluctantly agrees and transfers command to Geordi. Worf completes the scan of the planet, successfully locating the Odin survivors, and informs Riker. Riker, keen to show Beata that he has faith in his female subordinates, details Yar, Troi and Data to go and collect the four whilst he remains with her. The three beam to the location, finding a Human male named Ramsey who says he has been expecting them.
On the Enterprise Crusher reports more than eighty new cases of the virus, which is threatening to rage out of control through the crew. Worf heads to sickbay, leaving Geordi on the bridge. Back on the planet Yar tells Ramsey she is there to bring him home but he adamantly refuses to leave. Angel I has become the men's home in the last seven years, some of them have wives and children and none want to leave. He admits causing trouble; on arrival they were impressed with the self assuredness of the dominant women, but after a while they came to see how unjust the society was towards men, and sought to change it. Since he and his men are not members of Starfleet, Yar has no way to force him to return against his wishes.
Riker's meeting with Beata is going well, with the two flirting with one another. He shows her an Albeni meditation crystal which he has brought as a gift, and they begin to kiss. Yar contacts Geordi to beam up, but he tells her that a third of the crew is now incapacitated and more Romulan ships are arriving at the Neutral Zone. The away team returns to Beata's residence instead. After they leave Mistress Ariel, one of Beata's advisors, emerges from the shadows and kisses Ramsey. Beata is furious that Ramsey and his men are not to be removed after all, and declares that she will have them all put to death.
Visiting Picard in his quarters, Crusher notices the same odd smell that Picard and Worf detected earlier. She realises that this is how the virus spreads; it creates the odour because when people sniff, they breathe the virus in. Armed with this knowledge she hurries to sickbay to work on the vaccine.
Meanwhile Beata has quickly captured Ramsey and his men; she knew Ariel was a collaborator, and has been having her followed. She is detemined to have the four men executed tomorrow, despite Riker's moral objections. Riker considers illegally beaming the men aboard the Enterprise regardless of their objections, preferring to face a court martial rather than allow them to die. However, Crusher refuses to allow anybody else to beam aboard the ship due to the quarantine which is in place. Knowing that Data will be immune to infection Riker orders him to beam up and assume command, taking the ship to the Neutral Zone before it is too late.
The following day, the time set for the execution arrives. Data contacts Riker from orbit; having interpreted his order literally, he calculated how long the forces already at the Neutral Zone could hold out alone and deducted the time it would take to get there at maximum speed, allowing him to wait until the last possible moment before departing; they have 47 minutes left. Riker attends the execution ceremony, where he makes an impassioned speech claiming that the changes Ramsey and his men seek are an inevitable evolution of the planet's culture. Beata is apparently unmoved, but literally one second before Ramsey's execution she relents, deciding instead to exile the group and their followers to a remote island in the hope that if evolution can't be stopped, at least it can be slowed.
Crusher calls to inform Riker that she has successfully produced a vaccine for the disease and is treating the crew. The away team beam up, and a recovering Captain Picard orders the ship to head for the Neutral Zone.
An okay episode, but nothing special. The premise seems to be how a female dominated society would deal with the presence of men who believed in equality, but this isn't really explored in any great detail. We see the uncompromising reaction of the government in the form of Mistress Beata - who believes men should be kept down but has no trouble treating Riker as an equal, the hypocrite! We never learn how the Angelian men feel about the situation - Trent, for example, seems perfectly happy to do whatever he's told all the way up to killing people, but I find it hard to believe that Ramsey and his band of three are a threat all on their own. Is there a popular "masculinist" equal rights movement amongst the Angelian men that they became figureheads for? There pretty much has to be, but we don't see it, we're not told of it. (And by the way, I hate that word "Angelian". But the episode never even tells us what the name of this species is, or what their own name for their planet is, and what the hell can you call people who come from a place called "Angel"? Things like this often happen in Trek, and are a pet peeve of mine.) I wanted to learn more about how this society works, what the rules are. Can men vote? Hold public office? Are they essentially slaves? How does marriage or its equivalent work?
Instead, we get the virus B-story. This is annoying on several fronts. First, I strongly suspect that the whole thing was concocted purely to give the writers an excuse not to just have Riker beam Ramsey up and leave. As such, it sucks. For one, Beverly should have had the contained in nothing flat. She told Picard she was instituting quarantine procedures, Picard knew he had met the infected Wesley, but he didn't volunteer this information? We had better quarantine procedures than that in the 1950s! For another, the Enterprise-D is a starship. That means it has a life support system with total control over the environment. We've seen several times that individual compartments can lose life support, which means that all the compartments can be isolated with airtight seals. It is virtually impossible to imagine a worse environment for an airborne virus to try and spread in. It should be trivial to stop such a thing, and it makes Crusher look like a complete idiot that she can't manage it.
Then we have the vaccine. I'm not a doctor, but as I understand it a vaccine prevents you from becoming infected with a disease in the first place by giving your immune system a chance to destroy a weaker version of it, so you have the antibodies and whatnot needed for when the real thing shows up. It does nothing to inject somebody with a vaccine when they are already infected. And as I mentioned in the YATI section, as an excuse for not beaming Ramsey up the disease sucks. Ramsey was seconds from a near certain death; surely being exposed to a potentially fatal virus is preferable to that!
If they wanted an excuse not to beam Ramsey up, why not simply make Angel I's technology level equal to or superior to the Federation's? Then Beata's residence or palace or whatever it was could have been equipped with shields to prevent beaming, guards to prevent a rescue mission, there could have been orbital defences which the Enterprise-D would have had no chance of withstanding if it did try. All nice and simple, none of it would have even required any FX shots - a couple of lines of dialogue would suffice. Then we could have spent all that time on the far more interesting A story and relegated the absurd B story to the trash.

Felipe Massa bucked the norm in Bahrain on Saturday as the Brazilian opted to qualify on the hard tyres despite his rivals being on the mediums.
With the mediums holding an average advantage of six-tenths a lap, Massa chose to qualifying on the slower of the two compounds at the Sakhir circuit on Saturday.
But despite his disadvantage, the Ferrari driver put his F138 up into sixth place which will become fourth when those ahead who have been penalised take their drops.
Explaining his decision, Massa said: "I think maybe the preferred tyre is the hard, that's why people are saving the hard.
"I didn't save, but I start on the hard, it can be that I gain positions on the first stint because of that, I don't know, we'll see.
"The race is definitely long."
The Brazilian also revealed that he had not been as comfortable on the mediums which helped him make the decision.
"I was not very happy with the medium as well, struggling a bit on the balance to find the right grip, so that's why I took this gamble. I think when you start from the fourth position on the hard tyres, it's not a bad thing to do.
"For sure you are more confident because you start in a good position on the hard tyres, so we need to wait and see if it works or not tomorrow. It can be that it works, so let's be optimistic and concentrate on the race."

Roberto Pamio, having graduated in architecture at the University of Venice, works at an international level within the areas of architectural planning and design. His experiences in Mexico in the 1980s and successively in New York, Madrid, Paris, Amsterdam and Japan have stimulated his creative sensitivity. In all of his architecture, natural elements such as light, air and water are emphasized, turning space into something fluid and changeable.
Moving around within his creations, one never has the impression of facing foreseeable choices. The house loses its traditional function and becomes a "liberated" house.
Roberto Pamio also co-operates with important companies dealing with lighting, furniture and accessories, attributing a unique meaning to objects, which is determined by the fusion of proportion, lightness, technology and aesthetics.See other lights/products from Roberto Pamio
