Hi all....
How are you? I hope you are all doing wonderfully on this fabulous Friday.
I have something that is weighing on my mind and my heart, so I hope you will all bear with me as I share it.
I have 3 brothers. 1 older, and 2 younger. The older one hasnt been in my life for the last 12 or so years. My 2 younger brothers are a great deal younger, 22 and 24. I use to spend all my time and my money on them when I was in high school. As soon as I could drive I would take them up to McDonalds and buy them Happy Meals...it was $2.07 each! Such great times. I went to every sporting event. When I was pregnant with my 1st son (I was 23 so they were 13 and 11)...I had to be on bed rest for part of it and I cried the first few times I had to miss something they were doing. Then I had my next son and life was on its way to crazy parenthood. I always felt bad for missing out on things. My mom use to tell me its ok....they understand.
We have always of course shared the big events in life. But as they got older, they developed their own lives and time spent with them is getting less and less...I suppose its early preparation for when my kids grow up. Anyway...I have always tried to share with them the trials and tribulations of my life...so that they can see that things only get harder the older you get.
Well....naturally I had to reside myself to the fact that they are going to just have to learn life the hard way...they are stubborn just like me!
My 24 yr old brother called me last night to tell me that he only needs 4 more classes to get his Associates degree...then on to the next step. These are 4 classes that he has taken 3 times already. He would always get 1/2 way through and get 'bored' with it. I told him that Sunday will be 60 days for me...and that if I can go 60 days without drinking...he can do this!!!
He actually agreed. I thought I was gonna fall out of my chair.
He then went on to ask me about AA. Ask me what someone has to do to go or be a part of it. I said 'if you want to go to learn about what I am doing you can join me at an open meeting' He said 'no, I think I might have a problem, I just dont know, but I know that I cant drink anymore, its not an option, and just saying no isnt an option for me either' I was totally caught off guard. I always knew that my brothers partied but they are very young, I never saw it as a problem. And this brother in particular...he has never had a problem telling someone no or to back off he isnt interested. But I also know that he has some minor bipolar issues. Never been medicated for it. Im not entirely sure if he needs medication...but I know he needs to have the tools to cope with life...none of us really learned that growing up. I see his personality and I realized that he gets a bit OCD about things...and if he doesnt have a full blown problem yet...he just might. But then again...he blew a full ride scholarship and a chance at the Olympics because he was drinking to much. Who am I to say if he has a problem or not? No one thought I did...only I thought I did!!!
With all the weird problems my family has....we are always open and honest and, in our own way-right or wrong, supportive of each other. Im glad he felt like he could talk to me....
He is going to go to a meeting with me tonight...he is totally against the HP thing...BUT he believes in Karma...so...I figure thats something greater than him...so...its a start. Plus...he would rather consider the possibility that there is something greater than him than slide down and 80 foot cliff full of razors bare butt naked...SO...its a start!
I am going to give him a BB, and have him read.
I am nervous as all get out...this is one of my baby brothers and I dont want to screw it up. I dont want to push to much or not enough.
I am sad also...I dont want him to have to feel the things and go through the things that I have. I know that doing the steps, would be so beneficial for him. And it would give him such amazing tools for the rest of his life. And who knows...maybe he could learn to deal with things so he wouldnt have to take meds. I dont know....
I just have so many things going on in my head...but I am very happy and proud of him for at least wanting to find out if he has a problem. I guess in looking at it and thinking about it...he does...he cant control the amount he drinks, his personality changes horribly...and he would actually try to make himself sick, so he could keep drinking! I guess I was more blind to my brother than to myself. Crazy.
I sent him the 20 questions of are you an alcoholic from this site I also sent him the medical definition.
It will be a very interesting night.
Thank you all so much for letting me get all that off my chest. Im sure I rambled on and jumped around on my ideas....
I appreciate and love all of you....

I just purchased this fan and I do not see anywhere in the instructions where it tells you how to hardwire a light dimmer switch. I am replacing a fan that is wired to a light dimmer switch and a separate fan on/off switch. I would like to use the wall dimmer switches to turn the fan and light on and off, while using the remote to control fan speed. Is this possible?
Love this look, and it was very easy to install!

This contemporary 52-inch ceiling fan features two lights with a white opal glass shade. This ceiling fan features a brushed nickel finish and a remote control.Adding to the contemporary style are three blades instead of the normal four that other fans offer. The finish matches most home decor options so you can decorate the rest of the room as you see fit. Its size allows you to install and use it in most rooms as well. The five-inch downrod that comes with the fan keeps it safely above the room while adding enough stability to protect the ceiling as well as the blades from vibration. Installation is made easier with the 54-inches of wiring provided, allowing you to install the fan wherever you desire while leaving more than enough wiring to reach an adequate electrical source.

- Setting: Indoor

Great Fan! Here are the details ... First off, one thing they don't mention on the site is that the blades are silver on one side (and edges) and a natural wood color on the other, so you have options. The silver side is a painted wood, the other a laminate. They look just fine. Second, this fan comes with a remote to control the light (on/off) and the fan (off/low/medium/high). That means there is a transmitter that you connect your power to inside the fan housing. It also means that I could bypass the "light output" from the transmitter (blue cord if I recall) and connect the light directly to a light switch. In other words, I preferred to use the remote to control the fan, but a normal light switch to control the light. Two 40 watt bulbs are not very bright so you'll probably need to use a lamp or other lights in the room. If light output is a priority for you, you'll probably want to find a 3-light unit with 60 watts per light. However, you are probably after the sleek look of this unit rather than those ugly 3 spotlight units of old. It's worth the tradeoff to me. Lastly, this fan pushes a lot of air. We have it mounted above our bed and we use it to better regulate our comfort and not use the a/c so much. Enjoy!

Perfect Fan HIghly recommend this ceiling fan. It has a great contemporary feel. I was nervous about getting 3 blades instead of 5, but the 3 blades make it look more modern and newer. Gives off good light and was easy to install.

Fan only worked 1 year and 1 month Loved the unit when purchased; however, 1 year and 1 month later the fan stopped working. Changed the batteries and fan still does not work; light does. Contacted Overstock Customer Care and informed that they don't have any information on the manufacturer and Overstock can't accept fan as a return because I have had it for over a year. I don't want to return the unit; just want info on how to get the fan working. I have ceiling fans with light fixtures in practically every room in my house and none has stopped working after a year of operation. In fact I have one fan/light unit in one room for over 20 years and still works fine. Not trying to get another fan and pay electrician to install; just trying to get help on getting the fan portion of this one to function properlly.

Questions & Answers
Hello Thomas Tadlock, this is not recommended to be wired to a dimmer switch. Have a good day!
What is the actual color of the fan blades?
Hello tesone21, unfortunately this item is out of stock. We currently do not have inventory to check, and cannot guarantee the item will be restocked. Thank you for shopping with us.
where can I order a new glass shade ?
Hello jat, thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care.
I purchased this fan, and can't figure out how to change the lightbulb. Is there a manual I can download?
Hello 11daysale, I am going to include a link to the manufacturer page. If you scroll down on the page there are some pdf files that should assist you with replacing the bulb. Thank you for shopping with us! http://www.lightingdirect.com/monte-carlo-discus-five-bladed-52-inch-ceiling-fan-blades-and-light-kit-included/p294869
What does the remote actually control? Fan AND light? Thanks in advance
Hello mattibetcher, the fan and light are controlled by remote. Thanks for shopping with us. J.E
What is the installed height of this fan? from ceiling to bottom of the light including the down rod. Also...will we be able to connect the light and the fan to 2 separate wall switches?
Hello vangeri, yes, this can be hardwired to function with two separate switches. Thank you for shopping with us!
My fan started spinning backwards! How do I change directions? Can I get a copy of the instruction manual please?
Hello njmom829, thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care.
Can this be mounted flushmount?
Hello jaimo77, no, per our customer reviews, and the shape of this wall mount, this will not be a flush mount. I hope this information is helpful. Thank you for shopping with us!
I purchased this fan, and can't figure out how to change the lightbulb. Is there a manual I can download?
Thank you for contacting us, queenbeenw. You will be contacted by Customer Care.
The Product Specs says 2 CFL bulbs, but the product features table says Incandescent bulbs. Which is it? Also, whatever type of bulb it is, is the light dimmable? Thank you.
Thank you for your question petalpower. The Contemporary 52-inch Brushed Nickel 2-light Ceiling Fan is now supplied with two non-dimmable CFL bulbs. With the purchase of dimmable CFL bulbs the ceiling fan light can be dimmable. You will need a three wire system (two for fan and one for light) dimmer to dim the light and operate the fan. Have a great.
The product specs say this has a pull chain, but the product description says it has a remote, with no mention of a pull chain. Which is correct?
Remote no pull chain and the remote never worked
Is it possible to use this without the remote? In other words, can it be hardwired into the light switch for turning off and on? To be more precise, I'm looking for a fan that will work with the hard-wired light switches that are made for control of both the fan and the light, from the wall switch. You just switch out your light switch (the one that controls the existing ceiling light), and replace it with a universal ceiling fan/light switch. Will this one work with that?
Can someone please send me information on the fan's transmitter breaking? Instruction manual would be great also. Thanks
can you please recommend an extension rod to use with this fan? i know you said the diameter should be 3/4 inch however that seems to be the standard and others have said those are not compatible...
Thank you for contacting us ernmckern. Unfortunately we cannot recommend an extension rod to use with this fan. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
I purchased this fan, and can't figure out how to change the lightbulb. Is there a manual I can download?

what is the warranty on this fan?
Hello jackkee, One year warranty. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions. Thank you for shopping with us!
I will also need a downrod but trying to find one FIRST before purchasing the fan, to make sure installation goes smooth. I know they sell downrods in local hardware stores, but please tell me what size diameter this one uses so it can be ordered ahead of time. Thank you
Hi kodican, we were able to verify this information with our support team. The diameter of the down rod is ¾ inch. We hope this helps. Thanks for shopping with us.

How to Install a Ceiling Fan
Installing a ceiling fan is an excellent way to add beauty and comfort to your home-lighting design. Whether you are replacing an old ceiling fan with a new one or replacing a light fixture with a lighted ceiling fan, it's a job you can do yourself. Read the following instructions carefully and always refer to the ceiling fan manufacturer's instructions for installation.
How to Install a Ceiling Fan in Your Bathroom
Unlike the ceiling fan in your living room that circulates the air with rotating paddles, a bathroom fan features a motorized unit that vents stuffy bathroom air out of the room. A bathroom fan may be an individual unit, or you may purchase a unit that combines bathroom lighting and a fan. If you're installing a new bathroom fan or just replacing the old fan light, here are a few steps to help you get it done right.
Ceiling Fan Buying Guide
When it's hot outside, it can get downright uncomfortable inside your home. A simple breeze created by a ceiling fan is the solution for cool, natural comfort.

How to Buy a Ceiling Fan
With its low electrical cost, a ceiling fan is a very efficient cooling solution for the home. Indoor ceiling fans use about as much energy as a 100-watt light bulb and can greatly reduce your home cooling expenses. The cooling effects of a ceiling fan not only save you money but let you keep your windows open longer, allowing more fresh air into your home. A ceiling fan can also be used, if it has a reverse mode, to help defray heating costs in the winter. With all of these benefits, there's no reason not to find the best ceiling fans for every room in your home. Read on for suggestions that will help you buy ceiling fans for your home.
Why You Need a Ceiling Fan
The heat of summer is something you can look forward to, something you can dread or something you can learn to love -- but it's not something you can easily avoid. Ceiling fans are a throwback to lazy days, and the comfort a good ceiling fan provides can be depended on in any climate. Whether you're a lover or a hater of hot weather, or you simply dislike stagnant air, read on to find out why you need a ceiling fan.
How to Change the Look of Your Ceiling Fan
Whether your ceiling fan is outdated or just too plain for your home, you can easily make changes to it that will give it new life. To avoid switching out your entire ceiling fan fixture, focus on changing the look of the blades or the light covers. Here are a few tips for giving your ceiling fan a facelift.
Buying Ceiling Fans for Your Living Room
Keep the air fresh throughout your home when you buy ceiling fans for your living room. Whether you want lighted ceiling fan styles for easy elegance or remote ceiling fans for convenience, these suggestions can help you buy ceiling fans that complement your home and provide adequate air flow throughout the years.

How to Choose a Ceiling Medallion
A ceiling medallion brings instant drama to a room. Ceiling medallions were once quite common in homes, and they have come back into favor. Typically, ceiling medallions are used to support ceiling fans and light fixtures, but most homeowners select them for their decorative value. When choosing a medallion, your architectural design, interior design theme and the type of ceiling light you select all play a part.
Home Lighting - Lamp Design
Add style and warm light to your decor with the perfect lamp for your bedroom, hallway or living room. There's no need to sit in the dark when you can brighten up corners with unique lamps and stylish lighting and ceiling fans or snuggle in with good book by the light of your bedside lamps. This guide will provide you with tips on finding the perfect lamp designs for your home.
Tips on Buying Light Fixtures for Your Kitchen
Make your kitchen a warm, comfortable room with the right lighting and ceiling fans. Since you spend a lot of time in your kitchen preparing and eating meals together with your family, you'll want this type of home lighting to be bright enough to see ingredients but cozy enough to make this room a fun gathering place. Whether you want kitchen ceiling lights to save space or kitchen pendant lights that add a bit of color and style to the room, the following tips will help you to find kitchen lighting that works well in your home. Read on for tips on buying light fixtures for your kitchen.
How to Install Recessed Lighting above a Shower
Adding a recessed light above the shower provides welcome illumination while showering. Recessed bathroom lighting is perfect for the ceiling above the shower because it does not take up any space over head. A special moisture-resistant bathroom light fixture is required in the shower because the area is subject to so much moisture and humidity. You may replace an existing light fixture or install a new fixture after an electrician runs the necessary wiring. Choose a simple recessed light or select a light-and-heat-lamp combination or a light-and-fan combination.
How to Install Recessed Lighting in Kitchens
Recessed lighting enhances your kitchen design with additional light. When used along with other lighting and ceiling fans, recessed lighting adds another dimension of light to a room where you can use as much light as you can get while you chop vegetables or check to see if your roast is cooking perfectly. Although it's not difficult to install recessed lighting in the kitchen, you will need access to the attic over the kitchen in order to install and wire the lights with ease. Here are a few simple steps to install your own recessed kitchen lights.
Lighting Buying Guide
The right lighting and ceiling fans are not only more efficient and cost effective, but they also accentuate the personal style of your home. This lighting buying guide is designed to assist you in choosing the right fixtures to furnish your home.
How to Choose Kitchen Lighting
It is easy to overlook the importance of lighting when decorating your kitchen. You spend all that time picking out the best cabinets and appliances and then stick with the same flickering fluorescent fixture that came with the house. Kitchen lighting and ceiling fans can do more than just illuminate your kitchen; they can also decorate as well as accent the best parts of your kitchen design.
Best Bedroom Lighting Ideas
Decor trends come and go, but your bedroom lighting should transcend the look-of-the-moment to suit your bedroom's various functions. When planning bedroom lighting design, consider the space's natural lighting first, and then determine which parts of the room benefit most from general lighting, task lighting, accent lighting and ceiling fans.
How to Hang a Curtain Rod from the Ceiling
Hanging a curtain rod from the ceiling is an innovative and simple way to add drama to any room. This method can make ceilings appear higher, add interest to otherwise boring windows or act as a room divider with the right curtains. Whether you want a double curtain rod for hanging layered curtains, a wooden curtain rod for a rustic vibe or an iron curtain rod for a traditional look, the following suggestions will help you install the right rod and hardware.
How to Decorate With Paper Lanterns
Whether you prefer the cool sophistication of track lighting and ceiling fans or the eclectic, bohemian approach of handcrafted lamps and lighting, lighting design sets the tone and vibe of your home decor. With the wide diversity of home lighting styles available it can be challenging to choose which style you like the most. Paper lanterns, with all their many colors, patterns and sizes, offer a versatile choice for any room in your home. Decorating with paper lanterns adds form and function to your space. Check out the following ideas to create the perfect mood with paper lantern lighting in your home.
Tips on Using Fans
Indoor climate control is important wherever you live, and fans can help you maintain the optimum temperature in your home or office. There are many types of fans available, so be sure to pick the best one for you. To keep your home or office cool and your fan working properly, follow these tips on using and caring for your fans.
How to Choose a CPU Fan
Whenever your computer needs to perform calculations it relies on the central processing unit (CPU), often referred to simply as the processor. When the CPU is in operation it generates heat, so it must rely on computer components such as a CPU fan and heat sink combination to adequately dissipate the heat. Without a CPU fan the processor will quickly overheat and become useless. If your computer's CPU has been running too hot, choose a new CPU fan that provides better airflow.

Midwest Living Review
Take advantage of the walls of windows or the patio at Hagen's Club House Restaurant, which has views of the perfectly landscaped rolling hills of the Donald Ross Golf Course. A 15-minute shuttle ride from the West Baden Springs Hotel brings visitors to this restaurant, bar and pro shop alongside the golf course. After walking through the pro shop, you'll arrive at the tavernlike restaurant featuring a large wooden bar in a brightly lit room. Service is friendly, and the food good but not great. The menu features traditional American sandwiches, steaks, salads and appetizers. Try the Black n' Bleu Salad ($13.95); it had flavorful steak strips, fresh crumbled blue cheese over romaine lettuce, onion and tomato. The tossed pear and cranberry salad ($10.95) came with spring greens, chopped nuts and dried cranberries tossed in a light raspberry dressing, but the canned pears ruined it for us.

Experiencing a vision from the Prophets, Sisko sees himself as Benny Russell, a science-fiction writer in the 1950s, who struggles with civil rights and inequality when he writes the story of Captain Benjamin Sisko, a black commander of a futuristic space station.
Joseph Sisko, Captain Benjamin Sisko's father, has left Earth for the first time to visit his son on Deep Space 9, but his timing couldn't be worse. Although the Federation is in firm control of the station, the Cardassian border is still a risky place for Federation ships to patrol. In particular, the USS Cortez has recently been destroyed, and even a six-hour search by the USS Defiant failed to discover any survivors. That means Captain Quentin Swofford – a man Sisko knew well – is dead, and Sisko is distraught. He is beginning to despair of making any kind of difference in the war effort at all.
As he discusses the news with his father, Sisko is distracted and puzzled when he sees a strange man walk past his office dressed in 1950s Earth clothing. Dax, standing right outside in ops, insists she didn't see anyone, which only makes it a greater puzzle. Later, when walking down a corridor with Kasidy Yates, Sisko is again confused when a baseball player walks past and calls, "Hey, Benny! Catch the game?" Again, Kasidy is sure she didn't see anyone. When Sisko follows the man through a door, he finds himself suddenly in the middle of a busy New York street and is immediately hit by a taxi.
Doctor Bashir examines him and finds unusual synaptic potentials – his neural patterns look like they did when Sisko was having visions the year before. (DS9: "Rapture") When Sisko takes a PADD to examine the data for himself, he finds himself instead looking at a copy of Galaxy at a New York newsstand. What's more, Sisko – or rather, Benny Russell – feels completely at home on this street, and when Albert Macklin comes around the corner they walk off together to the office.
Act One
The people Benny knows at the office and meets on the street are similar to the people Sisko knows on the station. They sound the same, and look at least somewhat similar, but they are not the same people. Albert is not Miles O'Brien, and Kay is not Kira Nerys, but they feel awfully familiar. From this point until Sisko wakes up, the story is told from Benny Russell's perspective (as though the 1950s setting is the "real" world).
When Benny and Albert arrive at Incredible Tales – the science fiction magazine for which they work – they find writer Herbert Rossoff (Quark) and editor Douglas Pabst (Odo) engaged in "The Battle of the Doughnuts, Round 28" (as Kay describes it). Kay herself has been experimenting with White Rose Redi-Tea ("A pitcher of plain water becomes a pitcher of iced tea") – a concept her husband, Julius (Bashir), as a "self-respecting Englishman," finds appalling. Albert is, as always, looking for matches to light his pipe. When the bickering and general bustle ebbs enough, Douglas calls the meeting to order.
The magazine's illustrator, Roy Ritterhouse (Martok) comes in bearing a stack of sci-fi sketches to distribute to the pool of writers for the next month's stories. Benny is particularly taken with a drawing of a space station – basically a circle with pylons at 120 degree intervals, and "USAF DS/9" stenciled around the edge. He takes the sketch and offers to create an appropriate story to accompany it. Trouble starts, however, when Pabst announces that their publisher wants a group photo of the writing staff for the next issue, and Pabst "suggests" that Kay and Benny "sleep late" the morning it is taken – the public needn't know that women and blacks are writing Incredible Tales along with the white men. Herbert sarcastically quips about the dangers of "a Negro with a typewriter" and Benny is angry, but Pabst holds firm. There will be no picture of Kay and no picture of Benny.
Act Two
That evening, as Benny leaves the office (Incredible Tales is located in the Arthur Trill Building), the space station sketch is caught in a breeze and lands under the shoe of Burt Ryan (Dukat) – an NYPD detective with an attitude. He and his partner, Kevin Mulkahey (Weyoun) are suspicious of a janitor (as they perceive Benny) dressed in a nice suit, but give back the drawing with "This time you're getting off with a warning. Next time you won't be so lucky."
Then as he's almost home Benny hears a Preacher (Joseph) on a street corner who seems to be speaking directly to Benny. "Write those words, Brother Benny!" the preacher advises – write the words of the "God of the spirits of the prophets."
With all these events fresh in his mind, Benny Russell sits down before his typewriter with the space station picture in front of him and begins to write. "Captain Benjamin Sisko sat looking out the window..." Even as he writes the words Benny sees his reflection in his own window – only he has on a curious uniform instead of a shirt and tie and his glasses are gone. He presses on with his story into the night.
Act Three
When the story is finally finished some days later he shows it to his fiancee, Cassie (Kasidy) at the diner where she waits tables. While he is sipping coffee at the counter, famous baseball player Willie Hawkins (Worf) comes in and flirts, only half-jokingly, with Cassie while saying hello to Benny. Benny also encounters Jimmy (Jake), a street kid. Fresh after hearing Willie tell how white people wouldn't want him living in their neighborhoods, Benny hears Jimmy's skepticism about the new story. What's more, Jimmy is trying to pawn a watch he "found" and Benny's cautions about him getting in trouble don't seem to do any good.
On the other hand, the entire writing staff of Incredible Tales loves the story, which Benny has titled "Deep Space Nine." In fact, it is the best thing Pabst's secretary Darlene Kursky (Jadzia) has ever read. Benny, exhausted from lack of sleep, is worried that he's hallucinating - while Kay is complimenting the "strong female character" in his story, he takes off his glasses for a moment and sees her wearing a red uniform and strange ridges on her nose.
Unfortunately, Pabst himself is unwilling to print the story. "It's not believable," he insists, since it features a Negro space station captain for a hero. Jimmy isn't remotely surprised, and Cassie suggests it may be a sign he should stop writing and go into the restaurant business with her – owning and running the diner. When Willie comes in and grabs Benny by the shoulder, he's surprised to see ridges on his forehead and strange clothing. He jumps off the stool in surprise, but when he looks up again it is just Willie, asking if Benny had seen the game. Benny leaves, troubled by the vision.
That evening, he encounters the same Preacher again. "Walk with the prophets, brother Benny!" he insists. "Write the words that will lead us out of the darkness and onto the path of righteousness." Benny rushes home and sits down before his typewriter once again, concentrating so hard he even forgets about his date with Cassie. She finds him sleeping with a stack of pages in his hand – a new Ben Sisko story – and tries to get him to relax by taking a "spin around the dance floor" in the living room. He's startled once again when he instead sees himself dancing in a strange room and to hear "Cassie" talking about "the Dominion." He flashes back and forth between his living room and the space station – seeing things from his own story.
Act Four
As Benny questions his own sanity, Pabst insists he's certifiable – he's written six sequels to the "Deep Space Nine" story Pabst already refused to publish. Albert makes a suggestion that could salvage everything though: make the story (at least the first story) a dream. If a poor Negro were dreaming of such a future, the story might work, Pabst grudgingly admits, and Benny agrees that anything would be better than not publishing the story at all.
Even as Benny and Cassie are celebrating getting the story published, however, another tragedy strikes. They encounter the Preacher, who warns, "the path of the Prophets sometimes leads into darkness and pain", just as gunshots ring through the air. Benny rushes forward and finds that Ryan and Mulkahey have shot and killed Jimmy. When Benny tries to fight his way to him, the two cops begin to beat him up, and Benny sees ridges on Ryan's neck and long thin ears on Mulkahey's face.
Act Five
He's badly beaten and is walking with a cane, but on the day his story is finally published he makes his way to the office anyway (with Cassie's encouragement). The staff are happy to see Benny, this being the first time since his beating. They also reveal that Albert has sold a novel, and Benny is very happy for his friend. Then Douglas arrives back... but with no magazine. Douglas explains that there's going to be no edition of Incredible Tales that month... apparently the entire run was pulped because the publishers felt the issue didn't meet their "usual high standards". Benny, already knowing the truth, asks what the publishers didn't like. The artwork? The layout? But Benny, already starting to break down, answers his own question, the magazine was pulped because the hero of "Deep Space Nine" is a colored man. Pabst tells Benny that he knows it isn't right, but he furiously defends the decision, saying that "is not about what's right, it's about what is." This leads into further bad news. The publishers have decided that Benny's services are no longer required. The rest of the staff recoil in shock, and even the normally unflappable Julius is horrified. Benny tells Pabst that he can't be fired, because he quits, before sweeping the contents of a nearby table on the floor in anger as he begins to have a nervous breakdown. He is devastated that everyone is attempting to deny both himself and Ben Sisko, that the publishers are attempting to destroy the story. But he says, sobbing, that they cannot destroy the idea. Ben Sisko, Deep Space Nine, and all the people from the story, they exist inside his head, and in the heads of everyone who read it.
"You can pulp a story, but you cannot destroy an idea! Don't you understand, that's ancient knowledge. You cannot destroy an idea! That future, I created it, and it's real! Don't you understand? It is REAL! I created it and IT'S REAL!"
Benny finally collapses, sobbing being cradled by his former fellow workers.
As he's carted away in an ambulance, Benny finds the preacher sitting beside him and sees himself in a strange uniform. "Who am I?" he asks quietly. "You're the dreamer," the Preacher answers him, "and the dream."
Captain Benjamin Sisko wakes up in the infirmary with Kasidy, Jake, Joseph, and Dr. Bashir standing over him, happy to see him awake. He was unconscious for only a few minutes, and Julian reports that his neural patterns are returning to normal.
As Joseph gets ready to leave, Sisko says that his dream has encouraged him to stay on DS9 and keep fighting "the good fight." He also confides to his father that he wonders whether their world really is "the real world," or just the vision created by Benny Russell. He stares out the window, and sees a reflection of himself wearing Benny's clothes.

Background information
Star Trek and science fiction
- Of this episode's relationship with the pioneering science fiction of the 1950s, director Avery Brooks comments, "It presented a page of our history, from a time when science fiction was becoming a part of the mainstream. And when we talk about those writers, we're talking about the reason that we're even here!". (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- According to an interview in Star Trek Monthly #40, the Incredible Tales staff were based on various real-life genre authors. For instance, Albert Macklin was intended as an homage to Isaac Asimov. Kay Eaton, who wrote under the name K.C. Hunter to hide her gender, was a version of Catherine Moore, who similarly wrote under the name C.L. Moore, as well as Star Trek's own D.C. Fontana who wrote for The Original Series. Indeed, Albert's first novel was to be published by Gnome Press, as was Asimov's debut book in 1950 – a collection of short stories entitled I, Robot.
- Though not specified in said interview, it is a common judgment that the character of Herbert Rossoff was inspired by Harlan Ellison. It seems likely that Julius Eaton has been inspired by Henry Kuttner, the real life husband of Catherine Moore and one of H. P. Lovecraft's adepts and younger friends, together with Trek writer Robert Bloch.
- The drawing titled "Honeymoon on Andoris" did not have a title in the original script, but the picture (which depicts a giant praying mantis scaling a skyscraper to find a beautiful woman at the top) is a parody of King Kong. The title given it is a reference to Andoria.
- When Benny Russell enters the office on the day his story is to be published, Kay and Julius Eaton are discussing their story and Kay suggests the title "It Came from Outer Space," to which Julius responds positively adding, "I wish I'd thought of it!" This is a reference to the 1953 Jack Arnold film of the same name, which was written by famous sci-fi author Ray Bradbury.
- Galaxy Science Fiction was an actual science fiction digest magazine published from 1950 to 1995, and featured writing from such greats as Robert A. Heinlein, Ray Bradbury, and Theodore Sturgeon.
Star Trek and "Far Beyond the Stars"
- During a scene where some of the Incredible Tales staff have an argument, Julius Eaton tells them to be civilized and adds, "We're writers, not Vikings." This is a reference to the famous "I'm a doctor, not a..." series of quotes perpetuated by Leonard McCoy.
- The Galaxy magazine cover art is a matte painting of Starbase 11, which was seen in The Original Series episode "Court Martial". Additionally "Court Martial" is the featured story in the magazine, and is shown as being written by Samuel Cogley, who was the attorney defending James Kirk in the TOS episode. Similarly, the cover of Astounding Science Fiction, read by K.C. Hunter, features the matte painting of Eminiar VII from "A Taste of Armageddon".
- The cover of the March 1953 edition of Incredible Tales shows the surface of Delta Vega from "Where No Man Has Gone Before". It also advertises such stories as "The Cage" (written by E.W. Roddenberry), "The Corbomite Maneuver", "Where No Man Has Gone Before", and "Journey to Babel" (written by D.C. Fontana).
- The offices of the Incredible Stories are found in the "Arthur Trill Building", a reference to both the Trill species and the real-life Brill Building.
Deep Space Nine in 1953
- Benny is in the office discussing his story when his world and that of Sisko begin to merge. This begins with Darlene Kursky (Jadzia Dax) referring to the woman with a worm in her belly, after which K.C. Hunter momentarily becomes Kira Nerys as she compliments "this Major of yours," and Roy Ritterhouse (Martok) says he wants to sketch the Cardassians in Benny's story. Furthermore, Michael Dorn (Willie Hawkins and Worf), Jeffrey Combs (Kevin Mulkahey and Weyoun), and Marc Alaimo (Burt Ryan and Dukat) all appear for brief moments wearing their usual make-up at various points.
- The Benny Russell plot continues in the seventh season episode "Shadows and Symbols", although that vision is sent by the Pah-wraiths. Casey Biggs (Damar) appears as Doctor Wykoff at that time. Originally Biggs was supposed to appear in this episode (probably in a different role), but he was in New York City at the time and couldn't spare time for making it.
- The producers also toyed with the idea of ending the series (in "What You Leave Behind") with a shot of Benny Russell sitting outside a television sound stage holding a script for "Deep Space Nine" – essentially making the series, and possibly the whole of Star Trek, either a dream or a prophecy from the Bajoran Prophets – but this idea was ultimately rejected. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion) Ironically, Herbert Rossoff (Quark) comments in this episode that making the whole story a dream would demean the entire story.
- The working title of this episode was "The Cold and Distant Stars", virtually the same working title as was used for "Past Tense, Part I".
- Marc Scott Zicree's original pitch focused on Jake Sisko, and rather than actually experiencing a vision, he travels through time, back to the 1950s and meets a group of struggling science fiction writers. However, at the end of the episode, it is revealed that he never time-traveled at all; it was all part of a trick played on him by an alien who wanted to find out something about Humanity. Ira Steven Behr didn't like the idea, saying "It felt a little bit like a gimmick. There was no bottom to the story," and he turned it down. However, he liked the 1950s/science fiction writers backdrop and he kept that in mind, and several months later he had the idea to switch the protagonist from Jake to his father, and introduce the theme of racism. In an unusual break in protocol, Behr then pitched his idea to Zicree, and asked him to write a story based upon it. Zicree did this, then Behr took Zicree's story outline, and, along with Hans Beimler, composed the script. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- When Benny is listing famous black writers and their works, he mentions the 1940 Richard Wright novel Native Son. Avery Brooks' first acting job after finishing Deep Space Nine was the 1998 Tony Kaye film American History X, in which Brooks' character also has a strong affinity for Wright's novel, and introduces it into the school curriculum.
- The quote from the Bible at the end of the episode is from 2 Timothy 4:7. The full passage reads, "For I am already on the point of being sacrificed; the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord the righteous judge, will award me on that day, and not only to me, but also to all who have loved his appearing."
No makeup
- Although Rene Auberjonois, Armin Shimerman and Colm Meaney appear in this episode, their regular characters of Odo, Quark, and Miles O'Brien do not.
- Despite the fact he made a total of 282 Star Trek appearances, this is the only time that Michael Dorn appears on Star Trek as a Human, although he did appear, without his Klingon makeup, as a Boraalan in TNG: "Homeward", which also featured Penny Johnson.
- This is the only Deep Space Nine episode where Armin Shimerman (Quark) and Rene Auberjonois (Odo) appear without make-up. (Rene Auberjonois had appeared as a Human in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country and later as the Kantare "Ezral" in the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "Oasis") Aron Eisenberg (Nog), and Jeffrey Combs (Weyoun) appear again without makeup as holosuite guests at the farewell party on Deep Space 9 in late 2375. (DS9: "What You Leave Behind")
- Of appearing sans make-up, Armin Shimerman has commented, "Being out of makeup was slightly off-putting. I've grown accustomed to the Quark mask being a mechanism for support. That face describes who I am as an alien character. And also, while many actors worry about how they look on camera, I don't, because my face isn't on camera. So it was bizarre to be bare-faced on a Star Trek show. I never had been before." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
History and racism
- Of the period in which this episode is set, director Avery Brooks comments "The people we saw in that office each had a very specific identity. I wanted to see who those people were, in order to investigate one of the most oppressive times of the twentieth century. They were living with McCarthyism and the atomic bomb and the Red Scare. I mean, that was a very interesting period." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- Jake's character Jimmy uses the racial slur "nigger" in this episode, in reference to his belief that black people will never get into space except to shine white people's shoes. This is the first (and so far only) use of that word in the Star Trek universe.
- This is the only episode in Star Trek directed by the episode's lead actor to depict the actor's character heavily; Star Trek V: The Final Frontier has a similar distinction, being the only one of the motion pictures to be directed by leading actor William Shatner. Usually, when an actor directs, their character has a very small role (such as Brooks' role in "Tribunal", Rene Auberjonois's role in "Prophet Motive", or Alexander Siddig's role in "Business as Usual", Patrick Stewart in "In Theory" etc). In this episode however, Sisko is very much the lead character, and Avery Brooks also directs, and to date this is the only time this has ever happened.
- In terms of why Brooks was chosen to direct this episode, Steve Oster explains, "Ira Steven Behr and I discussed the possibility of Avery directing, knowing that he was going to be in every frame of film. We don't like that combination, because it's very hard to direct yourself. However, this was a story about racism and prejudice and we felt very strongly that it would be wrong if it came from a bunch of people who didn't necessarily know about that experience. We knew that it was imperative to the story and imperative to the integrity of television for it to be done right." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- Of the inherent theme of racism in the episode, Brooks comments, "If we had changed the people's clothes, this story could be about right now. What's insidious about racism is that it is unconscious. Even among these very bright and enlightened characters – a group that includes a woman writer who has to use a man's name to get her work published, and who is married to a brown man with a British accent in 1953 – it's perfectly reasonable to coexist with someone like Pabst. It's in the culture, it's the way people think. So that was the approach we took. I never talked about racism. I just showed how these intelligent people think, and it all came out of them." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- Armin Shimerman makes a similar comment about the dual existence of racism in the period of the episode and in society of today; "Star Trek at its best, deals with social issues, and though you could say, 'Well, that was prejudice in the fifties,' the truth of the matter is, here we are in the twenty-first century, and it's still there, and that's what we have to be reminded by, and that's what that episode does terrifically well." (Mission Inquiry: Far Beyond the Stars, DS9 Season 6 DVD special features)
- Brooks has also commented however that the episode is not exclusively about racism; "The people thought it was about racism, well maybe so, maybe not. This is America, more importantly, and you know, racism is one of the things that we deal with, just like sexism is one of the things that we deal with. I mean, those things are inextricably connected to who we are. And when we start to talk about who we are, we have to face those issues in terms of behavior, in what people do, you know, because color has little to do with it. But the fact of the matter in "Far Beyond the Stars" is that you have a man who essentially was conceiving of something far beyond what people around him had ever imagined, and therefore they thought he was crazy." (Mission Inquiry: Far Beyond the Stars, DS9 Season 6 DVD special features)
- Appropriately, the episode first aired during Black History Month. According to Ron Moore, this wasn't planned – "Just a happy coincidence." (AOL chat, 1997)
- This episode is Avery Brooks' personal favorite, and was his episode of choice for the Star Trek: Fan Collective - Captain's Log collection. Brooks has also stated, "I'd have to say, it was the most important moment for me in the entire seven years." (Mission Inquiry: Far Beyond the Stars, DS9 Season 6 DVD special features)
- Of Avery Brooks' performance in this episode, Jeffrey Combs comments, "Avery was spectacular. There was a scene toward the end where he falls apart with the camera right in front of his nose. It was just riveting." According to the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, everyone who worked on the episode felt that Brooks gave an Emmy award winning performance, and there was a great deal of disappointment amongst both cast and crew when he wasn't even nominated.
- Apart from Brooks himself, this episode is also a favorite of several members of the cast; Armin Shimerman, for example, says, ""Far Beyond the Stars" is without question my favorite episode. It is perfect science fiction." Rene Auberjonois comments, "Brilliant episode. One of the best of the whole series and Avery did a fabulous job of directing it." Michael Dorn says, "It was wonderfully shot. Avery spent a lot of time and effort to make it look like the fifties." Penny Johnson comments, "Anytime anyone can write about that, and it's executed without us having to pull up the same stuff that we see, you know, some things are overdone and overkilled. But this was beautifully handled and beautifully shot. But it still, in the heart, it got me." (Mission Inquiry: Far Beyond the Stars, DS9 Season 6 DVD special features)
- When asked to sum up his feelings about this episode, Avery Brooks smiled, and said, "It should have been a two-parter." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- In Star Trek 101, Terry J. Erdmann and Paula M. Block list "Far Beyond the Stars" as being one of the "Ten Essential Episodes" from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
- Ronald D. Moore said, "In my humble opinion, I think it's one of the best episodes in the entire franchise. (And I wish I was the one who wrote it!) Ira & Hans have written a true classic and when this show is long gone, I hope that people will still remember this one." In particular Moore singled out the ending. "I always liked the idea that all of DS9 may be nothing more than the fevered imaginings of Benny Russell. I still get a kick out of the ending and think it is one of the key ingredients to elevating the show to something very special." (AOL chat, 1997)
- The song playing over the first Benny scene, the argument with the newspaper boy, is "The Glow-Worm", written by Paul Lincke in 1909, and recorded in 1952 by the vocal group Mills Brothers, reaching number one in the pop charts that same year.
- The silver item on Herbert Rossoff's desk (which he places in a case as he threatens to quit) is an actual Hugo Award, and was loaned to the production by Rick Sternbach, who had won it for "Best Professional Artist".
- A poster outside the Rendezvous Dance Club can be seen advertising "Phineas Tarbolde and the Nightingale Woman".
- A memo from Douglas Pabst above Rossoff's desk reads "No one would believe that a cheerleader could kill vampires" – a reference to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, a TV show which featured Armin Shimerman in a recurring role.
- This episode was adapted in the novelization Far Beyond the Stars.
- This episode was nominated for three Emmy Awards: Outstanding Art Direction for a Series, Outstanding Costume Design for a Series (Robert Blackman), and Outstanding Hairstyling for a Series.

The X.Org Endless Vacation of Code (EVoC)
For the last several years, X.Org was a participating mentoring organization in Google's most excellent Summer of Code (GSoC) program. This program provides approximately US$5000 to students to spend their summer developing code for an open source project. Each student proposes a project and is matched with an organization mentor who guides and evaluates the work. GSoC was great for X.Org; we saw more than a dozen students through it, and some of these students went on to be extremely active contributors to X.Org.
However, for whatever reason some students with good project proposals who would like to participate in GSoC have been unable to do so. Typically, this was because Google funded fewer high-quality GSoC proposals than we had available in a given year, or because the rigid timing of GSoC was entirely incompatible with a student's calendar.
Rather than lose out on getting students working on X, the X.Org Foundation Board voted in 2008 to initiate a program known as the X.Org Endless Vacation of Code (EVoC) program. The basic terms and conditions of this program are quite similar to Google's GSoC. The key differences are that (1) an EVoC mentorship can be initiated at any time during the calendar year, and (2) the Board can fund as many of these mentorships as it sees fit. We will also consider a broader range of proposals than GSoC: technical documentation is a specific area of interest for us.
A proposal will typically be for a period of three to four months of contiguous nearly-full-time work, and will be funded at the US$5000-$6000 level, with an initial payment and further payments upon completion of project milestones. The proposal should include a detailed proposed scope of work and schedule; see the X.Org GSoC Application page for more information about writing successful proposals. Proposals must acquire a lead mentor from the X.Org technical community in order to be accepted; if the student can help identify this person early, that will increase their chance of success.
Non-students may also participate in EVoC. Application and participation for non-students is the same as for students, with one exception: non-students will not be paid. The X.Org Foundation believes that paying non-students to help develop X leads to a variety of problems, not least of which is complicating the non-profit status of the Foundation. For EVoC purposes, a student is someone who is a half-time or more college or university student during, immediately before or immediately after their EVoC period. Secondary school students 18 years of age or older are also eligible; sadly, it is legally complicated to pay younger students.
Students are welcome to either come up with an idea on their own or work up a proposal for an idea suggested by someone else. Lists of ideas that existing developers have come up with can be found at ToDo and Ideas.
Hanging out on the irc channels (listed below) and talking with people there is an excellent way to flush out ideas and/or possible mentors.
Students need to have at least a basic understanding of the following:
- mailing lists
- irc (graphics developers use irc.freenode.net #xorg-devel,#xorg, #dri-devel, #nouveau and #wayland to name a few.)
- gcc
- git
- Be comfortable using a linux shell and command line
At the current time, X.Org Foundation member Matt Dew marcoz AT osource DOT org is the contact person for X.Org EVoC. All inquiries should be emailed to him, with a cc to board AT foundation DOT x DOT org.

Now that I have your attention I can tell you that this entry is not about the book everybody seems to be talking about now. All in all literally speaking we must be in very bad shape when a book such as that one can manage to end up on the best-seller list. Apparently all those statistics about illiteracy and reading problems in the first world must be true. For us it is about writing, it always has been and I will admit that I have been lazy. Partly because I wanted to concentrate on other projects. Many of you [ Read More ]

Customer Ratings:
Its been about 3 weeks since I started using this brightening trio kit. Differences: my skin feels softer, but it was soft before the products. I bought this brightening trio to lighten up my sun spots on my face, but there is no lightening that I can tell yet. The Int Wrinkle repair serum is feels lovely on the skin as does the Pure Radiance skin brightening treatment, but the C15 does have a slight funny chemical smell & it stings if I use it over the other 2 products. Will keep updating.
Hello, and thanks for your comments! It generally takes about 4 to 6 weeks for skin-lightening products to change the appearance of dark spots - we hope this is helpful!
I do not know if this product works, but I just wanted to give a warning about the packaging. I got this kit, and 2 weeks after I received it, I knocked the C15 booster off my counter into the sink & it shattered. It is a glass container, which I am guessing is to keep the contents viable, but beware that you need to be careful with it. It is a lot of money to spend to just see it literally go down the drain.
Products in the Resist Ultimate Brightening Trio Include:
Resist Pure Radiance: Advanced brightening formula helps fade brown spots and correct uneven skin tone so you'll have a more radiant and youthful complexion.
Resist C15 Super Booster: Designed to supercharge other products or be used alone, this treatment repairs visible signs of aging and stimulates collagen production for smoother, brighter, and firmer skin.
Resist Retinol Serum: This supercharged anti-aging treatment contains stabilized retinol, potent antioxidants, and skin-repairing ingredients that work to help skin look and act younger.

How do I incorporate this trio into my skincare routine?
This depends on the routine you're currently following, and what concerns you are addressing. Generally speaking, if you add this trio you can apply all three products at the same time in the evening. We advise applying the Resist Intensive Wrinkle-Repair Serum at night, while both the Resist C15 Super Booster and Resist Pure Radiance Skin Brightening Treatment may be applied morning and/or evening.
Here's a sample anti-aging skincare routine incorporating the Resist Ultimate Brightening Trio:
Resist Pure Radiance DIRECTIONS: Apply a small amount once or twice daily before moisturizing. For daytime, follow with a product rated SPF 15 or greater. Works beautifully under makeup.
Resist C15 Super Booster DIRECTIONS: Apply once or twice daily after cleansing, toning, and exfoliating. Dispense 2–3 drops and add to your favorite Paula's Choice serum, or use alone and follow with moisturizer where needed.
If desired, apply your serum first and follow with this treatment. If applied in the morning, it is essential that you protect your skin with a sunscreen rated SPF 15 or greater. May be applied around the undereye area and is fine to mix with other Paula's Choice products.
Store Resist C15 Super Booster in a cool, dark place, below 25°C (75°F). Keep out of direct light.
Resist Retinol Serum DIRECTIONS: Apply after cleansing, toning and exfoliating. Smooth a few drops onto face, neck and eye area before moisturizing. For daytime, follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 25 or greater. May be alternated with a Paula's Choice serum that does not contain retinol.
Detailed instructions on how/when to apply your Paula's Choice products can be found in our How to Put Together Your Own Skincare Routine article.
Can I use the Resist C15 Super Booster with the Resist Retinol Serum?
My skin tends to be sensitive to vitamin C but I still want to use the Resist C15 Super Booster. Will applying this product a few times per week still be beneficial?
I received my C15 and the internal air restrictor isn't in the bottle—it's on the dropper. How do I insert it?

Booking photo of former Detroit Lions wide receiver Titus Young, who was arrested May 10, 2013. / AP
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. â?? The strange odyssey of former Detroit Lions receiver Titus Young took another odd detour Friday when Young, who has been jailed since May 11, heard that he would be charged with three new counts, bringing his total to 11.
The three new counts were mentioned Friday morning at a pretrial hearing in Orange County Superior Court, where Young made an appearance marked by his silence and stoicism. The counts were filed later Friday afternoon.
Added to his previous eight charges, mostly dealing with burglaries and assaults on a peace officer, were one count of vandalism, one of resisting public or peace officer and a felony count of attempted burglary on an inhabited dwelling.
The four burglary counts he faces are felonies. He has pleaded not guilty to all 11 charges. He could also be prosecuted for a DUI arrest in nearby Riverside County.
Young, released by the Lions after last season, was arrested three times in southern California in a week, culminating in his jailing May 11.
Judge Andre Manssourian said Friday that, considering the new charges, a higher bail was warranted. He increased it from $25,000 to $50,000.
"Mr. Young poses a danger to the community," Manssourian said.
Whatever the bail amount, Young and his family don't seem inclined to get Young, who has been described by his father and others as having mental health issues, released from custody.
Young had fights with football teammates at both Boise State and Detroit and his ex-girlfriend
has a temporary restraining order
protecting her and their nine-month-old son, Titus Young Jr., from Young.
The ex-girlfriend, Marjani Maldonado, claimed in a court filing that Young "will say things like, 'I understand why O.J. killed his wife.'"
Hudson requested and was granted by the judge the right to have a mental health professional come to the Orange County jail to evaluate Young. That has not yet been scheduled.
Young's May 28 preliminary hearing was called off. He now faces another pretrial hearing June 4 and a preliminary hearing June 6.
Young, who played two seasons in the NFL after playing college ball at Boise State, would seem to have the financial ability to raise bail.
"That's between Titus and his family," Hudson said.
And they think it's best that he stay in jail right now?
"Uh huh," the attorney said.
In court Friday, Young, appearing inside a protective cage wearing inmate orange, was addressed by the judge.
"Good morning, sir."
No reply.
"Can you hear me?"
No reply.
"Are you Titus Demetrius Young?"
No reply.
The judge immediately called the attorneys into a sidebar, which became rather lengthy. During the next 12 minutes, Young stood at attention, his head tilted back, his eyes close most of the time.
At one point during the long private discussion between the judge and the attorneys, Young's father, Richard Young, called out to him.
No reply.
Hudson later said that it is Young's right to remain silent and that is his choice.
Young's father and mother, an aunt, a cousin and a man who identified himself as Young's trainer attended the hearing.
After the hearing, the family members declined to comment as they walked out of the courtroom.
The aunt carried a Bible.
