Khan Noonien Singh, commonly shortened to Khan, is a fictional villain in the Star Trek science fiction franchise. The character first appeared in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Space Seed" (1967), and was portrayed by Ricardo Montalbán who reprised his role in the 1982 film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. In the 2013 film Star Trek Into Darkness, he is played by Benedict Cumberbatch.
The character once controlled more than a quarter of the Earth during the Eugenics Wars of the 1990s.[1] After being revived from suspended animation in 2267 by the crew of the USS Enterprise, Khan attempts to capture the starship, but is thwarted by James T. Kirk and exiled on Ceti Alpha V to create a new society with his people. In Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, set fifteen years after "Space Seed," Khan escapes his exile and sets out to exact revenge upon Kirk.
Harve Bennett, executive producer for Star Trek II, chose Khan as the villain for the film. To reflect the time spent marooned on an inhospitable world, Khan was given a costume that looked as though it had been scavenged from different items and showed off Montalbán's physique. Montalbán's portrayal has been positively received by critics and fans; Khan was voted one of the ten greatest film villains by the Online Film Critics Society.[2]
In Star Trek Into Darkness, set in the alternate continuity established in Star Trek (2009), Khan is awakened almost a decade before the events of "Space Seed." Khan is given the false identity "John Harrison" and coerced by Admiral Marcus into building weapons for Starfleet in exchange for the lives of Khan's crew. He ultimately rebels and comes into conflict with the crew of the Enterprise.
Khan makes his introductory appearance in the episode "Space Seed," first broadcast on February 16, 1967. According to the backstory revealed in the episode, Khan is one of a group of genetically engineered super-humans, bred to be free of the usual human mental and physical limitations, who were removed from power after the Eugenics Wars of the 1990s.[3] Khan had been both the most successful conqueror and the most benign ruler of the group, ruling more than a quarter of the Earth's area across Asia to the Middle East from 1992 to 1996 with a firm but generally peaceful hand until he was deposed. While most of the supermen were killed or sentenced to death, Khan and 84 others escaped Earth by way of the sleeper ship SS Botany Bay. The Botany Bay is discovered by the crew of the Enterprise in 2267, with Khan and 72 of the 84 crew members of the Botany Bay still alive, cryogenically frozen in suspended animation.
When Khan's sleep chamber malfunctions, he is transported to Enterprise, where he reawakens and learns he is in the 23rd century. Given spacious quarters while the Botany Bay is towed to a starbase, Khan fascinates and charms the ship's historian, Marla McGivers (Madlyn Rhue), while using his access to the ship's technical manuals to learn how to take over and operate the Enterprise. McGivers agrees to help Khan revive the other supermen, allowing him to organize a mutiny. To coerce the Enterprise crew to cooperate with him, Khan places Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) in the ship's decompression chamber and threatens to kill Kirk unless the crew submits. McGivers cannot stand by as her Captain dies and frees Kirk, who neutralizes Khan's men by using a "neural gas." Khan heads to engineering and sets the ship's engines to self-destruct, whereupon he is incapacitated by Kirk. Captain Kirk conducts a hearing, sentencing Khan and his followers to exile on an uncolonized world, Ceti Alpha V. Khan accepts Kirk's challenge—invoking the fall of Lucifer in Milton's Paradise Lost[4][5]—and McGivers joins Khan rather than face court-martial. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) wonders what the "seed" Kirk has planted will bear in a hundred years.
Khan returns in the 1982 feature film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Captain Clark Terrell (Paul Winfield) and First Officer Pavel Chekov (Walter Koenig) of the USS Reliant are searching for an uninhabited world to test the Genesis device, a powerful terraforming tool. They beam down to what they believe is Ceti Alpha VI. Khan's followers capture Terrell and Chekov, and Khan explains that the barren world is Ceti Alpha V; the sixth planet of the system exploded shortly after Khan and his followers were marooned. The cataclysm caused massive climate disturbances, rendering the planet into a desert, and many of the survivors—including Khan's wife—were killed by the only surviving species of animal, the Ceti eel. Only twenty of Khan's followers survive. Swearing vengeance on Kirk, Khan implants Ceti eels in Terrrell and Chekov's brains, rendering them vulnerable to suggestion. Khan then seizes control of the Reliant, intent on capturing the Genesis device.[3]
Khan lures the Enterprise to the space station Regula I, and he launches a surprise attack that disables Kirk's ship. Kirk tricks Khan by using a special code to remotely lower the Reliant 's shields, allowing the Enterprise to inflict significant damage. Khan is forced to withdraw to make repairs. Using the mind-controlled Terrell and Chekov as spies, Khan captures the Genesis device and leaves Kirk marooned on Regula I. Spock deceives Khan into thinking that the Enterprise is crippled, surprising Khan when the Enterprise rescues Kirk and escapes to the nearby Mutara Nebula. Goaded into following Kirk, Khan pilots the Reliant into the nebula, where shields and sensors are inoperable. Due to Khan's inexperience with three-dimensional space combat, the Enterprise defeats the Reliant and Khan is severely wounded. Refusing to accept defeat, Khan activates the Genesis device, intent on killing his foe along with himself. Khan quotes Ahab's words of vengeance from Moby Dick as he watches the Enterprise trying to escape on impulse power.
Khan appears in the 2013 film Star Trek Into Darkness, taking place in the alternate continuity established in Star Trek (2009). His backstory remains the same, but instead of being found by the Enterprise, Khan alone is revived by Starfleet Admiral Alexander Marcus. Marcus anticipates a war with the Klingons, and forces Khan to develop warships and weapons for Starfleet under the cover identity of "John Harrison", holding Khan's shipmates hostage.
Disgruntled, Harrison tried to smuggle his crew away in advanced long-range torpedoes but was discovered and forced to flee alone. Believing Marcus had killed his crew, he coerced Section 31 agent Thomas Harewood into betraying Starfleet by offering a blood transfusion for Harewood's terminally-ill daughter. Harewood agreed, and Harrison replaced his Starfleet Academy ring with a bomb. After his daughter was cured with a vial of Harrison's blood and its regenerative platelets, Harewood went to work at his office in the Kelvin Memorial Archive in London, where he dropped the false Starfleet ring into a glass of water, igniting the bomb and destroying the facility. In the midst of the chaos, Harrison used the opportunity to inspect a salvaged terminal to gain the confiscated formula for transwarp beaming.
Before he set off the explosion, Harewood sent Marcus a message, explaining he had been threatened by Harrison. Knowing that Marcus would call an emergency meeting in the light of the bombing, Harrison rigged a combat efficient jumpship with a portable transwarp beaming device and headed to the meeting location. Once the conference was underway, Harrison appeared and laid waste to the conference, killing Admiral Pike, Captain Abbott and many other high ranking Starfleet officers. James T. Kirk disabled the jumpship, but Harrison beamed himself away to an uninhabited area of Qo'noS, the Klingon homeworld before the jumpship crashed since the Klingons were hostile to the humans and the presence of Starfleet there would spark a war between humans and Klingons.
Marcus arms Enterprise with 72 advanced torpedoes and sends Kirk and the Enterprise to Qo'noS to eliminate Khan. Against orders, Kirk attempts to capture him alive. Hikaru Sulu, in temporary command of the Enterprise, orders Khan to surrender or be fired upon with the advanced torpedoes. Khan deduces that the torpedoes are the ones he used to conceal his shipmates in cryogenic suspension in attempt to smuggle them out of captivity, and surrenders to Kirk; once on Enterprise, Khan reveals his true identity and explains Marcus's duplicity.
When Marcus arrives aboard the Khan-designed USS Vengeance to tie up loose ends and destroy the Enterprise, Kirk and Khan work together to take control of Vengeance 's bridge. Once in control of Vengeance, Khan kills Marcus and disables Kirk, Scotty, and Carol Marcus, and demands that Spock return his crew. Spock, having removed Khan's people from the torpedoes, beams the weapons aboard the Vengeance and activates the warheads, crippling the ship. The USS Enterprise, crippled by the attack of the USS Vengeance falls towards Earth, and in an act of self-sacrifice Kirk exposes himself to radiation from the warp core while repairing it. Khan crashes the Vengeance in San Francisco but is apprehended by Spock and Uhura. After his blood is used to save Kirk, Khan is placed back into cryogenic sleep along with his crew.
Khan has been depicted in various novels and comic book publications. As with all non-television and non-film Star Trek material, the publications are outside of Star Trek canon.[6]
Author Greg Cox penned three Star Trek novels featuring Khan, published by licensee Pocket Books. In the two-volume The Eugenics Wars: The Rise and Fall of Khan Noonien Singh, Khan is depicted as a North Indian from a family of Sikhs. "Khan" is a title; his adoptive parents are from Chandigarh, Punjab, India and are both eugenic scientists. At the end of the second novel, Khan and his followers are placed aboard the Botany Bay by Gary Seven as part of a deal to stop Khan's machinations on Earth. The 2005 follow-up, To Reign in Hell: The Exile of Khan Noonien Singh, relates what happened to Khan and his fellow exiles between the events of "Space Seed" and The Wrath of Khan. A different version of Khan's exile on Ceti Alpha V is depicted in IDW Publishing's 2010 comic miniseries Khan: Ruling in Hell.[7]
From 2013 to 2014 IDW published a five-part series of comic books telling the story of the Into Darkness incarnation of Khan.[8] The first issue in the series acknowledges the discrepancy of Khan's physical appearance compared to that of the previous incarnation.[9] In keeping with the prime timeline's backstory, Khan's beginnings, rise to power, and involvement in the Eugenics War are depicted. It is also revealed his birth name was Noonien Singh and that he adopted the title "Khan" out of admiration for Genghis Khan. The series goes on to mention that Khan's anatomy and memories were altered per Marcus's orders, so that Khan would initially believe himself to be the fabricated Harrison.[10]
Writer Carey Wilber pitched "Space Seed" to Star Trek producers Roddenberry, Gene Coon, and Robert Justman with an 18-page outline dated August 29, 1966. In the outline, Wilber envisioned the crew of Botany Bay as criminals sent on a 1500-year journey to make room on Earth for others. Khan was represented as a Nordic criminal with a "magnificent" body, Harald Ericsson[11][12] The producers suggested changes to the outline in a series of memos; in memos dated September 7 and 9, Coon suggested significant changes to Ericsson. "I want to rather do more with him than you have indicated in the story outline," he wrote. Believing that Ericsson (misspelled as Erickson in the memo) could be a worthy adversary for Kirk, Coon suggested that the character be "in fact very similar to James Kirk, our captain, except that our captain has made an adjustment to this world and this culture [...] In other words, Carey, build us a giant of a man."[13]
The first draft of the script introduced the character as John Ericssen—who is revealed to be a man involved in "The First World Tyranny," named Ragnar Thorwald. The character of Thorwald was more brutal than Khan in the final version, killing guards using a phaser.[12] In the original script, Kirk forgives Ericssen and offers him and his people a chance at a fresh start—something that remained in the final episode—but the character committing murder would have precluded such an ending, as NBC censors would have necessitated the "bad guy" be punished for his actions.[14]
By the final draft, Khan is Indian; a character guesses that Khan is from Northern India, and "probably a Sikh."[15] Khan's full name was based on that of Kim Noonien Singh, a pilot Gene Roddenbery served with during the Second World War. Roddenbery lost touch with his friend and had hoped that Khan's similar name might attract his attention and renew his old acquaintance.[16]
In "Space Seed," Khan is presented as having several positive characteristics: he is gracious, smiling, fearless, and generous. He is not threatened by the success of others, and encourages their self-esteem. He is also ambitious, desiring a challenge commensurate with his abilities, but this ambition is not tempered by any consideration of the rights of others. Author Paul Cantor asserts that Khan is a mirror image of Kirk, sharing his aggressiveness, ambition, and even his womanizing tendencies, but possessing them in far greater degree.[17] During the episode, several of the characters express their admiration for the man even as they oppose him, with Kirk referring to him as "the best of the tyrants, and the most dangerous."[17] The character's Latino accent and superhuman appearance strongly differentiate him from most Star Trek characters.[18]
After the disappointing response to the first Star Trek feature film, The Motion Picture, Paramount executives appointed Harve Bennett, a television producer who had never watched Star Trek, to be executive producer for the sequel.[19] Bennett watched all the original series episodes and chose Khan from "Space Seed" as a possible villain for the film.[20] Early drafts of the script had Khan as a shadowy tyrant leading a planet in revolt; later drafts added the "Genesis device" which Khan would steal.[20]
Costume designer Robert Fletcher wanted to emphasize the effects of their harsh environment on Khan and his followers. "My intention with Khan was to express the fact that they had been marooned on that planet with no technical infrastructure, so they had to cannibalize from the spaceship whatever they used or wore. Therefore, I tried to make it look as if they had dressed themselves out of pieces of upholstery and electrical equipment that composed the ship," he said.[21] Director Nicholas Meyer told Montalbán to keep Khan's right glove on at all times, in order to give viewers a puzzle they could form their own opinions about and add mystery to the character.[22] Meyer has been repeatedly asked if Montalbán wore a prosthetic chest for his scenes, as his uniform was purposefully designed with an open front. Meyer replied in audio commentary for the film that Montalbán (who was 61 during filming)[3] is "one strong cookie," and that no prosthetics were applied to the actor's sizeable frame.[22]
At no point during The Wrath of Khan are Khan and Kirk in the same location; they speak to each other only over communication links such as view screens. This was due in part to the fact that the set of the Reliant was a redress of the Enterprise bridge, and the two actors' scenes were filmed four months apart.[23] Montalbán recited his lines with a script girl instead of to William Shatner.[24]
Montalbán said in promotional interviews for the film he realized early on in his career that a good villain does not see himself as villainous.[24] The villain may do villainous things, but he feels that he is doing them for righteous reasons. Montalbán further stated he always tried to find a flaw in the character, as no one is completely good or completely evil; while Khan had a rather distorted view of reality and therefore performed acts of evil, he still felt that his vengeance was a noble cause because of the death of his wife.[24] Khan quotes the character of Ahab from Moby-Dick throughout the film, driving home his lust to make Kirk pay for the wrongs he has inflicted upon him.[22]
Following the box office success of J. J. Abrams' Star Trek reboot and the announcement that actors Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto had tentatively agreed to appear in two sequels, Internet rumors began circulating about the plot of the second film. Abrams hinted that because of the alternate timeline created in the first film, reintroducing Khan into Star Trek lore remained a possibility. Abrams told MTV, "[Khan and Kirk] exist—and while their history may not be exactly as people are familiar with, I would argue that a person's character is what it is," Abrams said of the notion that his Khan could be just as evil, even if Kirk never stranded him on Ceti Alpha V. "Certain people are destined to cross paths and come together, and Khan is out there... even if he doesn't have the same issues."[25] Writer Damon Lindelof declared that Khan's "intense gravity," particularly regarding the character's delivery of monologues, made him an obligatory character to use, even if its iconic status made the crew afraid of the fan reaction. Lindelof jokingly stated that "it was never really a 'Should we or shouldn't we?' as much as it was 'We really have to do this but if we don't get it right people are going to kill us.'"[26]
As part of the secrecy campaign, Benedict Cumberbatch denied that he was playing Khan during interviews, describing Harrison as simply a terrorist with his own purposes,[27] as well as "someone that's activated and manufactured in a way by Starfleet, and it's a scene that has come back to haunt him." He discussed the character's moral ambiguity saying it fit the adage "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter," adding parallels to the current world order "whether it's U.S. foreign policy or the actions of some terrorists."[28] Into Darkness writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman added that they used the character of Khan not just for his popularity with the fandom — "It's so easy to fall into the trap of doing something because you think people are going to love it. You must come up with what the movie can be on its own and then, if it turns out the villain maybe can be Khan, then you can do it. But you can't start there." — but for fitting the sequel's theme of "how far will we go to exact vengeance and justice on an enemy that scares us."[29]
Some fans protested Cumberbatch's casting as Khan, believing that a person of Indian descent should have been given the role instead.[30][31]
Superficially, Khan has been compared to Friedrich Nietzsche's concept of the "Übermensch" (superman or overman). Khan is mentally and physically superior to any normal human. In the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "Borderland," Malik, the leader of a group of "supermen" created from the same genetic engineering project as Khan, quotes Nietzsche, telling Archer that "Mankind is something to be surpassed". Professor William J. Devlin and coauthor Shai Biderman examined Khan's character compared to the Übermensch and found that Khan's blind pursuit of revenge is against Nietzsche's ideals of transcendence and self-creation of a meaningful life. Instead, the authors offer Spock's self-sacrifice in The Wrath of Khan as a better example of the Übermensch.[32]
Montalbán's performance as Khan was favorably received by critics. Discussing the Star Trek motion pictures, the Associated Press noted that Star Trek films were measured by how menacing their foe was, and that Khan was among the best in the series;[33] a 2002 review of the Star Trek films ranked Khan as the greatest enemy seen in any of the films.[34] Reviewers of The Wrath of Khan, such as Roger Ebert, rated Khan as one of the strongest aspects of the film.[35][36] New Yorker critic Pauline Kael said Montalbán's performance "was the only validation he has ever had of his power to command the big screen."[37]
Critic Christopher Null notes that "it is nearly gospel now among Trekkies that... Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is the undisputed best of the series, and will likely never meet its equal," and calls Khan the "greatest role of [Montalbán's] career".[38] Though he felt that the villain of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, V'ger, was more cerebral and interesting, author James Iaccino notes that most fans and moviegoers preferred the archetypical good-versus-evil fight the struggle between Khan and Kirk represents.[39] Villains in subsequent Star Trek films have been measured by the standard of Khan, with Paramount promising fans that the villain of Star Trek Generations would be equal to the genetic superman.[40] IGN ranked Khan as the best Star Trek villain, noting that he set the pattern for revenge-seeking villains in the series; in the decades since the film's release, "even those with a passing interest [in Trek] know the name."[41] Star Trek producer Rick Berman called the villain "threatening and memorable."[33]
Khan is also recognized as a great villain outside of the Star Trek series. The Associated Press called the character "one of sci-fi's great villains".[33] In 2002, the Online Film Critics Society's 132 members voted Khan as the 10th Greatest Screen Villain of all time, the only Star Trek character to appear in the listing.[42] In 2006, Emmy Magazine voted Khan "TV's Most Out-of-This-World Character", beating out other science-fiction characters such as The Doctor and Commander Adama. Editors wrote that "Khan was so cool we would've bought a Chrysler Cordoba if he'd told us to," referring to an ad campaign Montalbán appeared in for Chrysler.[43] The character also had a cultural impact outside of Star Trek fandom; a clip from The Wrath of Khan featuring Kirk screaming "Khaaan!" was one pop culture appropriation that became a "popular fad" driving the success of the website YTMND.[44]
In 2004, the Star Trek franchise returned to Khan's backstory in a three-episode story arc on Star Trek: Enterprise.[45] In "Borderland," "Cold Station 12," and "The Augments," a 22nd-century scientist is portrayed as having revived genetically engineered embryos from Khan's time and raised them as "Augments."[46] Enterprise producer Manny Coto described these characters as "mini Khan Noonien Singhs".[47]
Benedict Cumberbatch's performance in Star Trek Into Darkness drew praise from critics with Peter Travers of Rolling Stone magazine calling it a "tour-de-force to be reckoned with" and his character "a villain for the ages."[48] Joe Neumaier of New York's Daily News wrote that Cumberbatch delivered "one of the best blockbuster villains in recent memory."[49] Jonathan Romney of The Independent specifically noted Cumberbatch's voice saying it was "So sepulchrally resonant that it could have been synthesised from the combined timbres of Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart and Alan Rickman holding an elocution contest down a well."[50] The New York Times on the other hand praised his screen presence saying "He fuses Byronic charisma with an impatient, imperious intelligence that seems to raise the ambient I.Q. whenever he's on screen."[51]
Christian Blauvelt from website Hollywood.com criticized the casting of Khan in Star Trek Into Darkness as being "whitewashed into oblivion."[52] Star Trek: Voyager actor Garrett Wang tweeting, "The casting of Cumberbatch was a mistake on the part of the producers. I am not being critical of the actor or his talent, just the casting."[53] Co-producer and co-screenwriter Roberto Orci addressed the issue of the casting saying, "Basically, as we went through the casting process and we began honing in on the themes of the movie, it became uncomfortable for me to support demonizing anyone of color, particularly any one of Middle Eastern descent or anyone evoking that. One of the points of the movie is that we must be careful about the villain within US, not some other race."[54][55]

Raider: Episode 1 is the first in a series of five platformers, consisting of a single level each. The levels are long, however.
This game is designed to be reminiscent of 'old-school' games which those of us old enough to remember playing them as children might find nostalgic.
It is designed to be CHALLENGING. Only the best players will be able to achieve the fabled S ranking for their performance. Can you?!/
Controls are specified in the game. They can also be customised from the How to Play screen.
PLEASE try Beginner mode if you're not great at platformers or if you find the other difficulties to hard and frustrating. It removes many of the most irritating aspects of the higher difficulties. Please do not complain that the game is too hard if you haven't even tried Easy mode.
NOTE: It seems that playing this in Internet Explorer results in some strange input-related problems, where the keys seem to 'stick' or something. You shouldn't really be using IE anyway; it's a notoriously bad browser.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Great Game
It's a wonderful game.
A bit Challenging but still good.
Peace out!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
I just beat it on Intermediate, which was extremely challenging nonetheless. The story is compelling and the music is fantastic. I hope to see more of this series soon.

CLEARWATER, Fla. -- This Phillies spring has been filled with talk of the Big Four starting pitchers.
This Phillies spring, most recently, has been filled with Chase Utley updates -- and non-updates.
Philadelphia Phillies |
What I like and dislike about the Phillies this spring. Read More >> |

But in this Phillies spring, we also ought to be thinking about Jimmy Rollins, because if the Phillies are about their great starting pitching and their outstanding but ailing second baseman, they're just as much about the shortstop capable of changing everything.
"When Jimmy hits, we win," one Phillies official said. "When Jimmy rolls, we roll."
When Jimmy Rollins is Jimmy Rollins, it changes the entire look of the Phillies. When Jimmy is Jimmy, it affects everyone.
"I don't get saves," closer Brad Lidge said with a smile. "When he's on base, I'm putting my feet up in the bullpen, because we're scoring 9-10 runs that night."
The hype about the rotation is justified. The concern about Chase Utley is real. The questions about a middle of the order without Utley or Jayson Werth are worth asking.
But it well could be that the issue that most affects how good -- or how great -- the Phillies can be is whether their shortstop and leadoff hitter can show that he can still be the same guy at age 32 that he was in his 20s.
It's also the question that most affects the Phillies' future, because Rollins is the one Phillies star who can be a free agent at the end of 2011. For an organization that has given out one long-term deal after another (including a five-year deal Rollins signed in 2005), Rollins is the guy up next for a decision.
He knows it. He also knows that if he hadn't been hurt last year, and if his numbers hadn't slipped, there would be no decision. He'd have a new contract.
Bounce-back player ... Brad Lidge: When most Fantasy owners think of Lidge, they still think of his 2009 meltdown, when he blew 11 saves with a 7.21 ERA and a 1.81 WHIP. He had his chance to redeem himself last year but was deemed a lost cause after posting a 5.57 ERA through July. But take a second look at his final numbers. Lidge was a completely different pitcher over the final two months. In 26 appearances, he had a 0.73 ERA and 17 saves in 18 opportunities. Finally recovered from the elbow and knee injuries that led to multiple surgeries last offseason, he was back to being the same lights-out pitcher who put together a perfect season in 2008. With the Phillies loaded pitching staff, Lidge is going to get the save opportunities of an elite Fantasy closer, but nobody is willing to trust him as more than a No. 2 option. Bust ... Jimmy Rollins: The Phillies' aging nucleus gives them several candidates for this category, but Rollins is the most obvious. His batting average, slugging percentage and OPS have declined every year since his 2007 MVP season, to the point they were below average even by shortstop standards last year. He can still hit some homers and steal some bases, and those raw talents are enough incentive for Fantasy owners to approach him as an elite option at a position increasingly scarce on talent. But he'll have to reverse more than few trends to live up to that title. He'll also have to stay healthy. At 32, Rollins has reached the age when other notable shortstops -- most recently Edgar Renteria -- have fallen off the map, making him too much of a risk to justify his draft position. Sleeper ... Domonic Brown: For whatever reason, manager Charlie Manuel doesn't trust Brown, giving him only 62 at-bats in a 68-day span after the Phillies promoted him in late July. And even with Jayson Werth out of the equation, Manuel planned to give the right field job to Ben Francisco or John Mayberry over Brown, who only sealed the deal by breaking his hand early in spring training. But with that disappointment comes new opportunity in Fantasy. The injury will be enough to scare most Fantasy owners away even though it's the same one that cost Troy Tulowitzki only five weeks last year. Brown is rated the fourth-best prospect according to Baseball America and is coming off a minor-league season in which he hit .327 with a .980 OPS, so clearly he offers something that journeymen like Francisco and Mayberry never could. The Phillies won't need long to realize that. -- Scott White |
Phillies outlook | Depth Chart | 2011 Draft Prep |
"It'd be a done deal," Rollins agreed.
He says he doesn't worry about it. He says he's healthy now, that he can still run like he once did, and that he has no doubt he still can be the player he was a few years back. He hasn't shown that speed much this spring, but manager Charlie Manuel says confidently that he expects to see it any day now.
Rollins' teammates agree.
"He looks damn good right now," Lidge said. "I know he feels he has something to prove, and when he's got a chip on his shoulder, he can do special things."
Manuel knows that, too. With the strong possibility that Utley will miss at least the start of the regular season because of his sore right knee, Manuel has experimented with lineups, some of which have Rollins in Utley's former role as the No. 3 hitter.
He likes the fact that Rollins can drive in runs, well aware that he had 94 RBI in 2007, when he batted leadoff almost exclusively. But Manuel also knows that the Phillies lose something important if Rollins isn't atop the order.
There's a swagger that is part of this team, and it comes from Rollins. And there's a different feeling when it comes right at the start of games.
"It is a swag," Rollins said. "It's a confidence, a certainty."
"And it really does trickle down through the lineup," Lidge said.
It wasn't always there last year, in large part because Rollins wasn't always there. The Phillies still won 97 games, the most in the big leagues, but they scored the fewest runs they had in any of Manuel's six years as manager, more than 100 fewer runs than they did in 2007, Rollins' MVP season.
There were any number of reasons, and Rollins was far from the only Phillie who got hurt in 2011. But the fact is that he played only 88 games, was bothered all year by the calf and scored not even half as many runs as he did the year before.
Rollins said he only thinks about the calf now when he warms up for games, because that's when he hurt it last April. What he thinks about more is how good the Phillies could be.
"We have such a great opportunity," he said. "Nobody wants it to go by. We all understand what we have here."
They also all understand how big a part of it Rollins can be. They know how big a part of this Phillies renaissance Rollins has already been.
And the closer says he's fine with Rollins costing him a bunch of save opportunities.
"I'll deal with it," Lidge said, smiling again. "I mean, I'll take 50 saves. But I have a lot of fun watching our guys when they score 10 runs. If that happens, I don't care if I end up with 15 saves."
If Jimmy is Jimmy, maybe that does happen.
When Jimmy hits, they win. When Jimmy rolls, they roll.

Do prenatal vitamins cause weight gain? This question seems get the attention of pregnant women the most. It is not a secret that maintaining an ideal weight and sexy body shape is a significant matter in women's life. If their body is no longer sexy they are afraid that they are no longer appealing in the eyes of their husbands or spouses. Under this circumstance, typically they become more aware of the potential weight gain when they are pregnant. They will be more suspicious on foods and medicine that can make them gain weight, including the vitamins for their pregnancy.

Cleansing Milk With Alpine Herbs "Dry/Normal Skin"
not quite what it seems...
I bought this product having seem it advertised in several magazines as a great product and thought that some Alpine herbs might help my skin during the winter months. There are no instructions on how to apply on the container you are guided to the website ( for busy people that's a pain when you've got to the bathroom at the end of a long day and finally managed to switch the computer off!# secondly when you reach the website the how to apply section says - place your hands on your face and create a suction effect and then rinse with tepid water. It doesn't actually say anything about applying the cleanser i.e. how much etc.
Lastly and most important for me... having got home and looked again at the small #tiny!) print on the back of the container I see this product contains parabens which means I will not be prepared to use it and has put me off buying Clarins products in the future. Sorry this has not been a success here!

To drying.
I used to love this cleanser but as I've got older its way to drying for my normal/dry skin. Much better British product out there, begins with E!

Good but not that hydrating
I use every night to take off foundation and on non- make up days too.
Takes a while to rub into skin compared to the Shea cleanser. Could be more hydrating toward dry-very very dry skin.

love the cleanser, and all clarins products great.

10 years in
This month marks the 10-year anniversary of my full-time relationship with Metro. The milestone snuck up on me, which is actually a good thing, since I'm not in the mood for a retrospective, and I don't have any wise words about what I've learned in a decade of living, working, and parenting without a car. Honestly (in case the five full months without a post didn't clue you in) I haven't felt much like writing about the bus at all.

Speaking of busing with babies…
Today after church, at a southbound 48 stop, I spotted one of my bus parenting heroes, a man I've never actually met. Back in '08, when Chicklet was but a wee lass, I saw him playing Connect Four with his kid at a northbound 48 stop (in the shelter that advocates for what Bus Nerd refers to as "the right to safe trife"). Having already begun my bus reading adventures with young Chicklet, I was inspired by the concept of bonding in transit–and by the way the two of them interacted. Also, I love Connect …

How riding the bus will make your kid smarter
One of the biggest benefits of riding transit with little ones is that you can actually pay attention to them while you travel. Instead of hollering in the general direction of the back seat (or worse, resorting to an in-vehicle entertainment system to keep order), PT parents can have meaningful, even educational, interactions with their little darlings. Here are some examples of brain- and bond-enhancing ways to use transit travel time.

A memorial for Memorial Day
On a recent Wednesday, I got to talking with the man in line in front of me at the grocery store. He was an older man, probably a good decade older than my father, and he showed a lot of interest in Busling. His eyes lingered long after the initial "Look at the baby!", and he asked lots of questions–the kind asked by people who are missing the days when their own were still tiny. So, to keep the conversation from being completely one-sided, I asked the man if he had children.
"Yes, two grandchildren," he said, "a …
My new favorite bus rider
Last night, on a late-evening 71, I sat next to a man who was really into cigars. He was carrying a handful, which he had apparently just purchased at a nearby smoke shop.
"They're rejects," he told me. "Maybe they're rolled too tight or something. They normally sell for 15 bucks* a piece."
Of course, that prompted me to ask about the qualities of a cigar that costs the equivalent of eight peak-hour bus rides (not including transfers) which prompted him to explain about fine tobacco, and timing, and hand-rolling. It was quite an education.

Chicklet and the 27, part II
On Wednesday, as Chicklet and I settled into a seat on our favorite route, an elderly woman I had never seen before sat down next to us, looked at Chicklet like she knew her, and said, "I just saw your uncle over at the University of Washington."
I was about to tell her that she had us confused with another bus riding mother-daughter team when she said, "I had to get a few x-rays and some work on my crown."
Aha! She had indeed seen Chicklet's uncle, my brother Joel, an almost-dentist who sees patients at the UW's dental …

On our first 358 ride to visit Jeremy, Chicklet and I sat next to a woman who, despite getting off on the wrong foot by asking one of those questions, turned out to be alright. She was on a bus excursion–which had started in Ocean Shores at 10 AM and was going to end in Everett late in the evening (!)– to pick up her two-year old granddaughter.

((big hug)) I'm sorry there was no apparent progress but I'm sure your body is working toward that day. I was already feeling the calendar pressure before 40 weeks so can imagine how much more you are now. . So glad your doctor was cool and not adding pressure. I really hope you find yourself in labor soon and that you're successful at relaxing until that time.
*hugs* I don't have much advice to give as I've never been down the birth road yet, but I agree with the "the baby will come on their birthday" thing.
I say have a nice soak in the tub with some bubbles (well, depending on where you live, maybe a nice soak in a pool?) and just enjoy the relaxation for now.
Thank you all so much. I had my good cry a little while ago after saying good night to my girls that are still at their grandparents an hour and a half away. DD1 was telling me how much she misses me and that she is sad when she looks at her blanket and thinks of me sitting on it while we read books and say prayers. I couldn't talk after that and it's getting me teary all over again. I'm missing them so much. DH and I decided that we want them home this weekend even if baby hasn't come yet. This is the longest I've ever been away from them.
Yes, I am doing hypnobabies. Monday I took a nap and just left my ipod running and ended up listening to about 3 tracks in a row including the fearclearing track. I was thinking of putting on the birthday affirmations...who knows maybe baby will decide to come.
The extra sleep is nice and that I can get it no matter the time of day.
I'm about to have my second cup of cumin tea for the day.

You're in Mass, right? I'll bet you probably have some kind of "natural living" store near you that sells homeopathics. Get the homeopathic versions of black & blue cohosh, they are absolutely safe because you can't overdose and they will NOT force your body to do anything it's not ready for. Caullophyllum and Cimicifuga are what you look for, and you want the 30C pellets, I think. I can look it up for you later but DH wants the computer back right now.
70% of the U.S. population now lives in a state where same-sex marriage is legal. At 36 and counting!
I was just at WholeFoods last night and saw the black cohosh. Would they have the homeopathic versions? I'm sure there is a natural living store nearby, I'll have to do a little search. I picked up the cumin seeds to make tea and got some more raspberry leaf tea. I was actually looking for the loose leaf version, but they don't carry it.
One more question, would you try cohosh before caster oil? Caster oil is my last resort once I'm past 41 weeks and my OB is looking to schedule an induction date.

I would ABSOLUTELY try cohosh before castor oil. Cohosh stimulates uterine contractions. Castor oil gives you horrible intestinal cramps that in turn can sometimes trigger uterine contractions. Ugh. I honestly don't know if I'd even do it as a last resort.
Glad you're feeling a little better, and I think having your girls come home this weekend is a good idea. Sounds like the separation is more hard than peaceful at this point. (((hugs)))
Looks like the Vitamin Shoppe has them:
Caulophyllum Thalictroides (6c) 80 Pellets
Cimicifuga Racemosa (30c) 80 Pellets also in (6c)
Is that the right stuff?
Also found: Caulophyllum Thalict (30C) 80 pellets

Molly--someone just sent this to me: a much more accurate way of calculating your due date. It is EXACT for my DD1's birth...what does it say for you? VBAC - A Duplicitous Journey: Estimated Delivery Date - Nichols Rule


text: The Global Climate Model currently used by EdGCM is a slightly modified version of the GISS GCM Model II first described and published by Hansen et al., 1983. This model was developed at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies beginning in the late 1970's and was the primary GCM maintained and used by GISS scientists until the early 1990's. Model II parameterizations and control runs are described in Hansen et al., 1983 and the original NASA/GISS global warming simulations were performed using this model and published in Hansen et al. 1988 (abstract only available here). The 8 X 10 (latitude X longitude) version of this GCM is still in use as a research tool for paleoclimate and planetary studies, for very long simulations, or where limited computing resources are available. The EdGCM suite of software gives users the ability to create and conduct "Rediscovery Experiments"; simulations that reproduce many of the hundreds of experiments that have been conducted and published using this version of the NASA/GISS GCM.

Like most with bipolar disorder, I love the fact that my medication has increased my wellness. Subsequently, the side effects are a loathsome reality. Seroquel has been my pdoc's choice for managing my manic, psychotic, and anxiety symptoms for the past year. It has shut out the noises in my head resulting in clearer thinking. After a few days on Seroquel, it was like someone turned off the radio that kept changing stations in my mind. With Seroquel, I stopped sending my boss and coworkers emails where I prattled on my solutions to work situations. When my children brought their friends over, newly medicated mom did not blurt out the first thing that popped into her mind during conversations. Most importantly, I began to sleep through the night. Until Seroquel came into my life, I found myself only sleeping a couple of hours a night. The other time was spent recklessly shopping on the Internet. Finally, never a real drinker, Seroquel stopped me from showing up to my son's football games "tipsy." My favorite website for learning about the medication I take is " Crazy Meds." The web-site's writer, Jerod Poore, gives the straight up truth according to actual takers of the medicine, not those sitting in an office writing about it. For example, when he says " Seroquel (quetiapine fumarate) is notorious for two things - making you sleep until next Tuesday, and giving you a hangover when you eventually wake up " he lies not. Armed with expectancy from his descriptions, a year ago I began this medicine. I really believe it has saved my job, my marriage, my relationships, and my life. At first, I did want to sleep all the time and I still have a hard time waking up in the mornings. I also regularly find myself having to stop my conversation to think of the word I want to say. It is like I have some blanks in my vocabulary. But, as I have written in my blogs, the alternative is not desired. Even with all the benefits recognized, recently I decided I no longer wanted them. I weaned myself off Seroquel. It was only a matter of time, days in fact, before I was choosing all the aforementioned behaviors. I also became psychotic. I began to believe the unreal was real. It was quite scary. Honestly, I do not know if it was the altercations with others, the many packages that kept coming to my door, or the picture in the living room that tried to stare me down, but I came to realize life was becoming unmanageable (again). I called my pdoc and got back on the wagon. My pdoc is wonderful. She never missed a beat. While laughing along with me at some of my escapades, she gently yet firmly, confirmed my need to get back on my medication. She always upholds my dignity and for that I am grateful. So, back on the wagon again has brought some sleepiness and yesterday I could not remember the word "pillow". I was trying to get my daughter to bring me one. I finally said, "You know the thing you sleep on." She tartly replied, "Mom the bed won't fit in the living room." Because she has learned to use context clues well, she brought me my favorite pillow. Not wanting to live life full of regrets, I have decided to keep Seroquel in my life, even with it's sometimes troublesome side effects. As always, the alternative is not tolerable. |

Hey guys do to a misclick during a game I found a kind of annoying bug. If you are in the enemy team's base and click on their shop merchant, your buy screen will pop up. You cannot buy anything, but it is just annoying to see it pop up in the crucial moments of base raid. Just seeing if anyone can get this fixed?

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell held a press conference to address the recent string of violent incidents involving players assaulting women and children.
New research may confirm what many have thought for some time: artificial sweeteners like Splenda and Equal cause more problems than they solve when it comes to having a healthier diet.
Devin Hester ran back a punt 62 yards for his NFL-record 20th career touchdown return, and the Falcons routed Tampa Bay, 56-14, in Atlanta on Thursday night.
Ta-da! Joel, a forward on Brazil Serie A team Coritiba, scored two goals in a 3-1 defeat of Sao Paolo recently, but it's what happened after one of those goals that fans will remember.
A lot of teenagers do construction work in the summers to earn some cash for the following school year. Even future three-time-Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks, it turns out.
With the Yankees fading from playoff contention, Derek Jeter's playing days are quickly winding down, which makes this commercial all the more touching.
