Pretty Good sound BUT.....
This review is from: Turtle Beach Ear Force DXL1 Dolby Surround Sound Gaming Headset - Xbox 360
Pros: The sound quality is pretty good and it fits really big heads. That's about it
Cons: This thing is made of flimsy plastic parts that feel cheap. There are too many cords to make it work properly. I received this in a deal with a Xbox One. When I got it in the mail I realized it wasn't actually made to fit a Xbox One. I appreciate not having to buy an $80 headset, but i did have to go buy a $30 adapter to go on the controller so it would even work.

This review is from: Turtle Beach Ear Force DXL1 Dolby Surround Sound Gaming Headset - Xbox 360
Pros: -Long cable
Cons: -Lots of cables, sometimes hard to move.
Other Thoughts: This headset is great. The sound quality is really good for the price. They are also really durable, I've thrown these off my head when I'm mad and let them smack into my desk before falling to the ground. Even after a year still going strong. Don't expect to use these with anything other than an xbox though.

Decent Headset
This review is from: Turtle Beach Ear Force DXL1 Dolby Surround Sound Gaming Headset - Xbox 360
Pros: Large, fairly lightweight, good sound quality, breathable cushions, not much sound leakage for a $100 xbox gaming headset, good customer support.
Cons: Extremely long cable if you are sitting close to your tv/ monitor, sometimes fickle surround sound (see other thoughts).
Other Thoughts: This headset is great if you have a big head like I do, the ear pads are light and breathable (with a small sacrifice in comfort), and the mic is average. The surround sound will sometimes turn off or act oddly. Switching the audio-box thing off and then back on usually fixes it, but this can be a pain in the middle of intense nonstop combat. For example, when boarding up windows in Black Ops 2 zombies, if you look the complete opposite direction from the window, you will sometimes be unable to hear the distinct "boarding up" sound going on. The very long cable can be a pro or a con depending on what your gaming setup is like, but for me it was a con. I had problems after a little while with my first pair of these, but Turtle Beach customer service was a breeze to deal with, and I got a new pair shipped to me quickly. Overall, a very good heatset for the price point.

I'm not ashamed to admit I spent New Year's Day catching up on some much needed zzzzzs and a few of my favorite TV shows. Glad I did! Had I done something productive, I might have missed Alyssa Milano's UNICEF ad encouraging me to give 50 cents a day to help save a child. (Full disclosure: United States Fund for UNICEF is a BBB Accredited Charity.)
UNICEF is just one example, but it got me to thinking: how many people understand how child sponsorship organizations work?
Q. What are child sponsorship organizations?
A. These organizations solicit funds to assist needy children in other countries or the United States. Typically, donors are expected to make a recurring gift (usually on a monthly basis). That's why you see so many "x cents a day" commercials.
Q. How do they work?
A. Child sponsorship organizations typically operate in one of two ways. The first kind – and by far the most common – pools together your monthly contribution with other donations to support projects benefitting the local community where the children live rather than conveying your monthly contribution directly to a child (or children). Example of these projects include building schools, providing medical care, offering disaster assistance, constructing water wells, distributing food, etc. The second kind – and far less common – allocates a portion of your monthly contribution towards a cash grant, which is directed to the sponsored child's family.
Q. How do I know which type of child sponsorship organization it is in the commercial?
A. Research! Ask the organization for copies of their literature, visit their website, check with BBB, and carefully learn about their child sponsorship program before making your monthly commitment. There's a lot of variety today – make sure you agree with the organization's philosophy and how it approaches assisting communities. Also, don't feel pressured to make a contribution just because you happened to see the commercial. Legitimate charities will provide you with all the information you need to feel confident and comfortable about your gift, and they will gladly accept your gift when you are ready.
Q. Can I correspond with the children?
A. In some instances, you can correspond with the children. Ordinarily, the letters must go through the sponsorship organization rather than being sent directly to the children. Translation services are usually provided by the organization or a member of its field staff. If interested, you should contact the sponsorship organization to obtain details.
Bottom Line: If you are interested in child sponsorship, go for it. Just make sure you do some research to find the kind of organization you're looking for and an organization you can trust to spend your contribution wisely.

Lots of LOLs in FBPK
Comedian Martin Evans, recently seen on Comedy Central and the South African edition of Come Dine With Me, gets up close and personal in FBPK. If you want to know why his new one-man show won a Standard Bank Ovation Award at the National Arts Festival (or what FBPK stands for in the first place), it's now on at Cape Town's Kalk Bay Theatre.
The one-hour performance tells the story of a devastating accident that left Evans in hospital for most of 2010. "If you've ever been stuck in a wheelchair for six months [and] had your legs broken in 20 places, then you can imagine the biggest eye-opening knock you can get," he said. "Not being able to do anything for yourself, being helpless, is the biggest wake-up call in life."
No offense
It sounds kind of depressing, especially when we learn that his wife-to-be left him for their housemate and that he got over it by baking cupcakes flavoured with the salt of his own tears. But there's quite a bit of inspiration (with a random diversion or two) along the way. "There are all the negatives you can sit and moan about, but I chose to make comedy out of it," Evans said. "It's uplifting, happy, and I've never had somebody who was offended by it."
Why would anyone be offended, you might be wondering? Well, FBPK stands for "Full Body P**s Klap". The rest of the language isn't as extreme as I expected and his impersonations of the Afrikaners, although somewhat stereotypical and potentially offensive for wearers of two-tone shirts, are done quite well considering that Evans is from the UK. But FBPK works because Evans is able to make the audience a part of his story. You might as well be chatting to an old friend at the bar. So pull up a chair and get ready to be entertained. It's all in good fun!
FBPK (PG-16) is on at the Kalk Bay Theatre in Cape Town until 25 November. For details and bookings, go to www.kbt.co.za

The Atlanticists seem to be very selective about which Leftists they do or don't like. They love the American Left, the Indian Left, the Left-wing liberals of Russia, and those of similar ilk in Japan.
But one section of Leftists the Atlanticists will absolutely not tolerate, are the Leftists of Latin America. The obvious reason for this is that Latin Leftists are rivals to the Church and the European-backed cronyists who vie for control of South America's vast resources. Where Europeans perceive a non-Leftist rival, they will quickly instigate Leftists to attack them, but otherwise where their own cronies are in charge, they don't want any Left-wing challenge to them.
This of course makes me like the Latin Leftists, despite my natural aversion for socialism. It also makes me wonder why the Indian Left don't do more to embrace the Latin American Left (well, one obvious reason is that Indian Leftists love the Church, while Latin Leftists oppose its oppression.) Indian Leftists cover up their hypocrisy towards Latin America by hyperactively fawning over their one hero Castro on his lonely little island, while ignoring the rest of the vast continent. I'll be glad when the Lefty fan-magnet Castro kicks the bucket, so that Indian Lefties will finally be forced to notice the rest of Latin America.

Lauren Graham and Jason Ritter Talk 'Parenthood'
Jason Ritter and Lauren Graham have eyes for each other on "Parenthood" (Trae Patton/NBC)
Lauren and Jason talked to Yahoo! TV about the show's third-season "snowball effect," the fun of being part of such a big cast, and whether they've ever done the May-December thing themselves (separately, of course).
How does this season compare with previous ones?
Lauren Graham: I think it's juicier. I think the third season is kind of a cool time, because, remember, we didn't have a full first season, so it's just sort of getting into some of these characters' complexity, so I like it.
Jason, you came in at the end of the first season. Did it feel weird to join after the show had already gotten started?
Jason Ritter: Well, yeah, it was terrifying.
LG: It was?
JR: Oh, yeah.
LG: Really?
JR: Yeah, because there's a part of you that just feels like somehow you fooled everybody, and you're going to get on-set and they're going to go, "Well, who let this kid in here?" But it was immediately such a wonderful experience. I mean, I felt so welcomed and so put at ease by Lauren.
LG: By who?
JR: By you.
LG: As far as I'm concerned, you're a series regular, and you always have been, even when you went to go save the world, whatever that was all about. You're part of this. Jason's part of this family forever.
Did you know your role would last this long?
JR: I think initially it was supposed to just be three episodes. And then they put me in the season finale of the first season, and that was exciting. And then I started to do "The Event." But even during "The Event," they brought me back for an episode in the second season, which was very nice.
LG: But it definitely was not intended to go on this long, and it happened because Jason is so charming and delightful.
[Check Out Photos of the 'Parenthood' Cast]
Lauren, you were best known for your role on "Gilmore Girls," which lasted seven seasons. Are you now becoming more recognized for your "Parenthood" role and getting a whole new crop of fans?
LG: It's a somewhat similar experience in that I feel like the fans of this show are really very intense fans, which is how it felt on "Gilmore Girls." I think that character, Lorelai, was kind of a larger-than-life character in the way the language of that show kind of had its own sound. It was such a big character. Sarah's more sort of real. And it's been interesting on this show; it feels the same. It's sort of a rolling snowball, if you will, and it still seems like some people are just joining, just [starting to watch] the show. So that's nice. You'd rather have the momentum going that way than the other way, which is not a snowball.
How do you like being part of an ensemble cast now, as compared with the smaller cast of "Gilmore Girls"?
LG: It's more social. On "Gilmore Girls," you were working 14, 15 hours a day, and it tended to be with one or two [actors]. It was me and Alexis [Bledel] together a lot. Also the way we shoot this show is so kind of open and fluid, and it's almost theatrical sometimes when we have all the cast. There are three cameras going. They let us sort of improvise, and they follow us, in a way. It's much less traditional than how we shot "Gilmore Girls." It can be more messy, which I think is right for the sound of like a family show.

Week 1 NFL Power Rankings
Week 1 NFL Power Rankings
NFL football is finally here. After months and months of anticipation, we finally get to watch our favorite teams match up against each other on the field. We'll learn which teams have what it takes to live up to expectations, and which teams are going to be looking for talent at the top end of next year's draft.
This season, we have more quality teams than ever before. There are only a few teams in the league that you can't see making a playoff run. That kind of parity is what the league has been striving for since the beginning of the modern salary cap era over 20 years ago.
Unfortunately, that parity isn't evenly distributed between the two conferences. The NFC has strong teams across the board, while the AFC has only a handful of quality squads, and really only a couple of legitimate title contenders.
The good teams aren't even spread out amongst the divisions well. There are a few divisions with four quality teams, and a couple that you can only talk yourself into a team or two being in competition for the division title. But, the depth of talented teams across the board means all but a few fan bases have high hopes for their team.
That's what makes this time of year so great. Unless you happen to root for a select few teams, all in the AFC of course, you're already talking yourself into a playoff run this year.
Check out the initial 2013 Power Rankings and see where your favourite team lands in the NFL pecking order as the season starts.
32. New York Jets
They say when you have two quarterbacks, you really have none. So, what does it mean when you have two bad quarterbacks? The New York Jets are going to find out this year. I'm guessing it means losses, and lots of them.
31. Oakland Raiders
The Oakland Raiders have over $40 million in dead cap money this year. With almost half the salary that the other teams are using, there aren't too many wins in store for the Raiders. One thing for them to look forward to is the chance that Terrelle Pryor can refine himself into a serviceable NFL quarterback.
30. Jacksonville Jaguars
Much to the chagrin of the last remaining Jacksonville Jaguars fan, Blaine Gabbert will be their starting quarterback again this year. Gabbert has been a disappointment so far in his NFL career, but he hasn't had much help. With a bad defense and a struggling quarterback, it looks like its going to be another long year in Jacksonville.
29. San Diego Chargers
Just a couple of years ago, the San Diego Chargers were knocking on the door of the elite NFL teams. Things have gone downhill fast since then. Phillip Rivers has regressed, and the defense, once among the best in the league, will rely on too many unproven players this year.
28. Miami Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins made two big moves this offseason. One was to sign speedy wide receiver Mike Wallace, the other was to let former No. 1 overall pick, left tackle Jake Long, walk away in free agency.
Basically, they added a receiver whose best skill is going deep, but let go of the man who needs to give Ryan Tannehill the time to get him the ball. They may sell more tickets this year, but that equation doesn't equal more wins.
27. Tennessee Titans
The Tennessee Titans have been in rebuilding mode for a while now. They're still trying to figure out what they have in third-year quarterback Lake Locker. So far, the results have been mixed from the former first-round pick. If he takes a step forward, this team could skyrocket up this list.
26. Buffalo Bills
The Buffalo Bills may have found something in first-round pick E.J. Manuel. He's looked good in preseason, and if he can continue to improve, the Bills could find themselves out of the AFC East basement this year.
25. Carolina Panthers
The Carolina Panthers have one of the better defenses in the league and an improving young quarterback. If they were in a weaker division, they would have a shot at making the playoffs. Instead, they're in the the NFC South, the best division in the NFL from top to bottom. Look for Carolina to be competitive all year, but in the end, the wins won't add up for them.
24. Cleveland Browns
The Cleveland Browns are going to be really interesting this year. Sure, they'll probably finish last in the AFC North again, but at least they should give their fans a few signs that things are heading in the right direction.
23. Arizona Cardinals
The Arizona Cardinals upgraded the quarterback position this offseason by bringing in Carson Palmer. Palmer, and his strong arm, will open up the offense for Larry Fitzgerald this year. But, anytime you're counting on Carson Palmer to be the difference between another losing season and the playoffs, you know things aren't going to end well.
22. St. Louis Rams
The St. Louis Rams are a decent team in a really tough division. Sam Bradford needs to improve dramatically this year. But even if he does take that next step and prove himself worthy of being a former No. 1 overall pick, the Rams will still struggle to keep pace with the rest of the NFC West.
21. Philadelphia Eagles
New head coach Chip Kelly brings his up-tempo offense to the NFL this season. That offense won't be the problem for the Philadelphia Eagles this year, but the lack of talent on their roster will be. They have holes at every level of the defense, a lack of playmakers on offense and no good option at quarterback.
Kelly is a good coach — he'll be the reason they stay out of the race for the No. 1 overall pick — but the wins will be hard to come by in Philly this year.
20. Pittsburgh Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers have been fighting off the effects of an aging roster for a few years now. This is the year it catches up with them.
Ben Roethlisberger is kind of amazingly already in his 10th NFL season. The defense is equally long in the tooth. They may end up even worse than the 20th ranking by the end of the year, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt because of head coach Mike Tomlin and their winning tradition.
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
I don't expect too much out of Josh Freeman and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this season. Freeman was a disappointment last year, and very well could end up relinquishing his starting job to rookie Mike Glennon before the season is over.
They can run the ball well with second-year back Doug Martin, so they'll be able to keep games close and steal one here and there. They have a good running game and a serviceable defense, but without good quarterback play, you can't expect to win too many games.
18. New York Giants
The New York Giants have built their success under head coach Tom Coughlin on a powerful running game and a dominant pass rush. This year, they're without former team leaders Ahmad Bradshaw and Osi Umenyiora.
Eli Manning has shown the ability to put the team on his back, but more times than not, he ends up making a mistake or two that costs the team. The Giants will need to put all their wins on his back, and that's not something the New York fans want to hear.
17. Detroit Lions
Matt Stafford and the Detroit Lions are again heading into a season with an offense that has all the tools to be a dominant unit. Last year, that didn't work out so well. It wasn't Stafford's fault -- they didn't have enough weapons to keep defenses from taking Calvin Johnson out of the game, and the defense totally let them down.
That defense, led by what has the potential to be a dominant defensive line, should be better this year. But, they still don't have enough depth at receiver for Stafford and the offense to lead them to double-digit wins.
16. Chicago Bears
The Chicago Bears break in a new coach and offensive system this season. Marc Trestman should be able to get more out of Jay Cutler than other coaches could, but that won't be enough to get them wins against the better teams in the league. The defense, which has led the team the last few years, has been too reliant on turnovers and big plays. The Bears are good enough to beat the bad teams, but not good enough to beat the good ones.
15. Baltimore Ravens
The Baltimore Ravens have overhauled their roster since they won the Super Bowl last year. Gone are team leaders Ed Reed and Ray Lewis.
Now the team is officially in the hands of their newly-minted quarterback Joe Flacco. If he can live up to his contract, he just might be able to keep the Ravens from being the latest in a growing trend of teams to win a Super Bowl, then fail to make the playoffs the next season
14. Dallas Cowboys
This is going to be the year the Dallas Cowboys finally live up to expectations. Not that they're going to make a deep playoff run -- Tony Romo will find a way to make sure that doesn't happen. No, the difference this year is that they're expected to be the decidedly average team they are.
13. Cincinnati Bengals
Every year, there's one team that everyone universally agrees is ready to take the next step and go from a good team to a great team. This year, it's the Cincinnati Bengals. Last year, it was the Lions. Remember how that turned out? Well, chances are the Bengals are being equally overrated this preseason. They're good — probably the best team in their division — but I'm not ready to put them in the group of elite teams just yet.
12. Indianapolis Colts
Last year, the Indianapolis Colts were this year's Kansas City Chiefs. They went from last place to the playoffs in just one year. The ceiling is even higher for them this year.
Andrew Luck had an enticing season in 2012, and he still has the most upside of all the quarterbacks in the 2012 draft. Luck is on his way to grabbing the title of best signal caller in the NFL. This time last year, we didn't know if he was ready for the NFL. This year, the rest of the league should worry it's not ready for him.
11. Minnesota Vikings
Don't take for granted what we have in Adrian Peterson. He might end up going down in history as the last true dominant running back. Sure, we'll always have good running backs, but he could be the last one that does his damage running downhill.
As the line between running backs and slot receivers becomes more and more blurred, we might find ourselves having to explain what it was like to see someone dominate a football game taking handoffs. Oh yeah, and the Minnesota Vikings are going to be alright again, I guess. You can win games with running and defense, but not a lot of them anymore.
10. Kansas City Chiefs
I'm all the way in on the Kansas City Chiefs this year. They may have been the worst team in the league last year, but they upgraded in all the important areas this offseason. They have a proven coach, a proven quarterback and the No. 1 overall pick on the offensive line.
Throw in a last-place schedule and and elite running back in Jamaal Charles, and you have all the ingredients for the team that makes the jump from bottom of the standings to the playoffs.
9. Washington Redskins
All eyes this summer have been on Robert Griffin III and his surgically-repaired knee. We know he'll start Week 1, but we don't know if he'll be the same player he was last year. If he can be even close to that good, the Washington Redskins will again be the best team in the NFC East this season.
8. Houston Texans
The Houston Texans have built their recent run of success on a powerful running game and a dominant defense. That may get them wins, but defense and running doesn't win championships anymore.
Arian Foster has been banged up in preseason, but they still have Gary Kubiak and his 1990s offense at head coach, and Matt Schaub is still Matt Schaub. At some point, their window will close. It may already have and we're the last ones to know it.
7. Green Bay Packers
It looked like the Green Bay Packers were at the beginning of another Packers dynasty when they shocked the NFL world and went all the way to the Super Bowl as a wild card in 2010. Now, three years removed from that playoff run, the Packers have become another team that wins games in the regular season but doesn't get it done in the playoffs.
Sure, Aaron Rodgers is still one of the best quarterbacks in the league, but the defense will need to play at the same level they did in the winter of 2010 for them to have postseason success this year.
6. New England Patriots
The New England Patriots are the most controversial team this year. Depending on who you ask, they're either going to dominate the AFC again or struggle to make the playoffs. Like most controversial things, the answer is somewhere in the middle. They won't be the dominant force they've been in the past, but they still have Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, and that's good enough for double-digit wins.
5. New Orleans Saints
Sean Payton and the New Orleans Saints are itching to remind the rest of the league that they're still a title contender. They're a legit threat to go all the way as long as they have Payton calling the shots from the sideline and Drew Brees orchestrating the offense on the field.
4. Seattle Seahawks
No team has been getting more hype this summer than the Seattle Seahawks. Much of that is deserved; they have the best defense in the league and a really good young quarterback. They also have one of the toughest schedules in the league.
Defense doesn't win championships anymore; if they want to find themselves at the top of this list by the end of the year, they'll need Russell Wilson to be even better this season.
3. Atlanta Falcons
Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons have been working their way up the NFL ladder since he came into the league as the third overall pick in the 2008 draft. Since then, the Falcon have been one of the most consistent winners in the regular season. They may or may not find a way to win in the playoffs this year, but they'll rack up the regular season wins again.
2. San Francisco 49ers
The San Francisco 49ers were just one more Colin Kaepernick highlight away from a championship last year. That playoff experience will only make them better. Head coach Jim Harbaugh is one of the league's best tactical minds, and he will keep Kaepernick and the 49ers one step ahead of defensive coordinators again this year.
1. Denver Broncos
The Denver Broncos' quest for a championship, and Peyton Manning's quest for the best year of his illustrious career, are one of the best storylines in the NFL this year. They have an all-time great quarterback playing at the top of his game, the league's best group of receivers for him to throw the ball to and the best home-field advantage in all of football (Sorry, Seattle, it's true).
The defense could suffer with the loss of Von Miller for the first six games and Elvis Dumervil forever, but Manning and the offense will cover up any issues they may have defensively.

"A Running Start"
Hello all. This is my first time posting any fanfic, here or anywhere else.
This is essentially a "snippet" from the middle of what is intended to be a larger storyline, centered on my original ships and characters and set roughly two decades after the end of the Dominion War.
This was inspired by January's "New beginning" challenge theme. The story ended up being far too long to enter in the challenge, but since I had completed it, I thought it'd be a waste not to post it at all, so here it is. It'll be split up into six posts. There is one instance of PG-13 language for anyone concerned about that sort of thing.
A Running Start
Last Portal
Hydrus Sector
Stardate 73071.9 (January 27th, 2396)
0800 hours
Yuri watched as the docking levels far below her slowly drew closer and closer, as the lift sped downward along its track. The metal framework lining the tube could be partially seen speeding by through the large windows that dominated three of the lifts four sides.
Her gaze swept across the closer of the two docking levels, observing the small dots that would soon be visible as actual people, as well as larger objects: cargo crates, lifters, workbees. About half of the berths were occupied by ships at the moment, with the others empty. On this level, the berths were sized for smaller ships: civilian transports, cargo haulers, and the like comprised all of the vessels she could see at the moment. She peered past the edge of the level, which was just coming into view, and tried to get a better look at the lower docking level, which was where any larger vessels would be. Several starships were just starting to become visible, as-
Starships! Starships, look!
The sudden exclamation caught Yuris attention, and she looked over to the other side of the lift, where a small child was leaning up against the front window, her hands pressed up against the transparent aluminum sheet, a look of utter delight on her face. She looked to be perhaps five or six years old. Just behind her, a man her father, Yuri surmised came up to her, placing a hand on her shoulder, chuckling slightly. I see them, honey. And they are
Will we be able to get a closer look? the child asked, turning her head to look at her father, though she didnt remove her hands from the window.
Oh, absolutely, he replied, bending down next to her. You see those gray, rectangular structures there? He pointed down and forward, toward a row of the objects in question that lined the edge of the upper docking level; Yuri recognized them as cargo routing stations. As he spoke, they grew in size more rapidly. Were going to be right next to those when we go to see Uncle Van, and therell be a really great view from there.
Really? she responded, clapping her hands together and looking back out the window again. I cant wait. I wonder if Ill get to ride in a starship one day
You never know, her father replied.
Approaching: Upper Docking Level. Cargo collection and distribution. Last non-restricted level. Please confirm your authorization status before
Okay pumpkin, here we are, the man said, pulling his daughter away from the window as the lift slowed, then stopped. Immediately, the double doors in the back of the lift parted. The little girl hopped down off the bench, giggling as her father held her hand and they made their way out of the lift.
Yuri chuckled as the doors closed, leaving her alone in the lift as it once again began its descent.
Cute kid. And loves starships, apparently. Maybe shell become an engineer or join Starfleet one day.
Her thoughts abruptly turned away from the amusement of watching a delighted child, to something much darker.
Assuming anyone even survives all this.
She sighed, shaking her head, deciding she didnt want to explore the thought of her own potential death or that of children like the one she had just seen in any great depth at the moment.
Yuri returned her attention to the front window. With the upper level now above her, she had a much better view of the ships arrayed before her. A
was docked to the upper slot, far to her right, and below that, a Klingon cruiser occupied the next slot. She looked to the left, and her gaze passed across an
. Almost immediately, she felt a severe pang of what she could only describe as homesickness.
Home I guess it really was home
It had only been two days since she had disembarked the U.S.S.
, her assignment for nearly the last three years. And now, just the
of another
-class ship was bringing back all the memories, and all the doubts shed had about leaving.
She closed her eyes, leaning forward slightly.
I wonder how they are all doing.
She actually laughed lightly at herself, out loud.
Its only been TWO days. Theyre fine, and they arent even doing anything different than the last time you were with them: sitting around at starbase 228. Get a
She took a slow, deep breath, before righting her posture again, opening her eyes. And then she saw it, and found herself overtaken by other feelings.
Past the slot in which the
was berthed, was the U.S.S.
Dauntless. My
She felt a mix of awe, excitement, and apprehension as the sleek lines of the large, majestic ship came further into view. She had, of course, looked up information on the ship. Shed already seen images of it, she knew her specs and profile, but that was nothing compared to seeing the ship in person. Yuri felt a strange sensation, something that shed heard some of her Human friends refer to as butterflies in the stomach. Shed never understood that, until shed taken the time to look up and understand what a butterfly
. The visual of how they moved as they flew somehow caused the expression to make sense. Of course, it wasnt something she could recall experiencing herself more than once or twice in her life; Yuri wasnt easily fazed by much. But now, shed swear that an entire
of butterflies had just hatched inside her. Not that it wasnt understandable, really. On its own, the reality of a promotion not only in rank, but also in position going from Assistant Chief Tactical Officer of one ship to Executive Officer of another would be enough to give most people butterflies to some degree. But to add to that, she was also being asked to step in and take the place of someone who had died, under difficult circumstances from the reports she had read. This was someone whom this crew had served with for
, and then she was abruptly taken away from them and Yuri was going to replace her. It was, she admitted to herself, a somewhat unnerving prospect.
What if they dont accept me? What if they HATE me? What if I cant-
Ghaaa! she exclaimed aloud, to the empty transport interior. She placed both hands on her head, running them through her short, green hair briefly, trying to get all of her emotions under control.
Get a GRIP! Seriously, I mean it this time!
She stared at the floor for a moment, taking several deep, calming breaths. A moment went by, and she began to feel a bit more settled. She continued staring at the floor, trying to for just a moment anyway clear her thoughts, and just relax-
Approaching: Lower Docking Level. Starship berths, Starfleet management facilities. Restricted level. Please have authorization documents ready when disembarking the lift.
The calm, feminine voice of the computer nearly caused her to jump out of her seat. Swallowing hard, she blinked several times, took another deep breath, and finally, gathered her travel bag up on her shoulder. She gave the ship a long look through the front of the transport, then tore her gaze away from it, turning to face the double doors as they opened.
Once past the first security checkpoint, she slowed her pace as she walked along the docking area. Around her, other officers moved about, conversing with one another or reviewing information on PADDs as they walked along. Cargo movers and antigrav sleds could be seen making their way across the metallic surface of the docking level, at times crossing her path several meters ahead. Yuri saw and heard none of it. She continued to walk in a straight line, slowly but inexorably drawing closer and closer to the ship the largest ship there
ship. It was a number of different things for her now, whereas if she had simply encountered it while still serving on board the
, it would have been just another Starfleet ship, albeit a rather new and interesting one. But now, she found herself sizing it up, trying to reflect on what she knew about the ship, as well as what she had yet to find out, and trying to make sense of all of that in the context of this ship being her new assignment her new home. She found it difficult to process.
She slowed her pace abruptly, looking around as she realized that she was approaching the second checkpoint.
Already? But I only just passed the first one-
She turned her head, looking back, and was genuinely shocked to see the first checkpoint behind her about four-hundred
behind her, more precisely. She stared back along the deck for just a moment.
Ive been walking for nearly five minutes I was barely aware of any time passing at all
. She shook her head, trying again to clear these feelings of uncertainty.
Alright, this isnt such a big deal. Its another assignment. I accepted it, and Starfleet wouldnt have even offered me the promotion if they hadnt thought I was ready for it
. Taking a deep breath, she walked forward.
Unlike the first checkpoint, this one was unmanned, consisting of an ID scanner and a heavy set of doors, beyond which lay a covered walkway which led directly into the airlock hatch on the side of the ship. She placed her hand against the scanning panel.
Identify confirmed. Commander Yuri Rienne, Starfleet. Executive officer, U.S.S.
Access granted.
A brief chirp followed the computers declaration that she could enter, and the doors parted before her. The walkway, which was in fact just over three meters in length, suddenly looked much longer to her. Yet, she could somehow feel that her apprehension was fading, and being replaced by something else. She stepped through the doors, and they closed behind her. The covering over the walkway was partially transparent, and she continued looking over the hull as she traversed the last bit of distance separating her from the ship. Printed above the airlock hatch, in the familiar Starfleet lettering, was the ships identification.
She felt a slight chill run down her spine, and she shuddered and then suddenly, she grinned, as she recalled the words of the computer from a moment ago.
Commander Yuri Rienne. Executive officer
As she stepped through the hatchway, planting her feet upon the deck plates of the ship for the first time, she realized what it was that had replaced her apprehension and fear. Pride, and excitement. A number of thoughts suddenly ran through her head as she walked through the small airlock room.
Starfleet is trusting me with this. Theyve looked to me and said, Here, go to this ship, support her captain, and manage this crew. Im now responsible for not just a department, but almost eight-hundred officers and crewmen. And theres only one person on this entire ship who outranks me.
That last realization, in particular, brought about a strange combination of renewed apprehension and an almost giddy, lightheaded feeling.
Alright, alright, enough goofing off
, she thought suddenly, collecting her various wandering thought processes and pulling them back into the present.
It didnt take her long to find her quarters on deck five. She didnt intend to stay long, as she had really only come to drop her bag and steal a quick look in the mirror before going to meet the captain. She noted absently that the quarters were quite sparse, with none of her belongings present, indicating that they were still in the process of being loaded onto the ship. Tossing the bag onto the bed, she strode past it to the washroom, and stopped in front of the full-length mirror between it and the closet.
Uniform is straight, pips are straight, hairs straight ish.
Her hair fell to the middle of her neck, and she wore it in a loose, simple style befitting her casual and laid-back personality. Nodding slightly, she turned to go and paused, her gaze zeroing in on the reflection of her collar. For a moment, she was actually surprised to see three solid gold pips there, and to see red, instead of gold, around her neck. She shook her head.
Think thats gonna take some getting used to
Computer, location of Captain Parrin, she said, as she walked back out into the hall.

THE PRIEST'S CHILDREN by Viktor Bresan
When a naïve Catholic clergyman tries to boost the birth rate among his Dalmatian island flock, his plan sparks a host of unintended consequences. This acerbic satire from director Vinko Brešan (who is known and loved at home for using humour to approach sensitive historical and cultural topics) is currently Croatia's top-grossing production of the year.
ZORAN, MY NEPHEW THE IDIOT / Zoran, il mio nipoto scemo by Matteo Oleotto
Paolo Bressan, a 40 year old misfit, 'inherits' Zoran, his 15 year old nephew, from a distant relative. He finds himself being an uncle, and that to him is just sickening. Only when he notices that Zoran is a true phenomenon at playing darts, he changes his mind. Every year the world darts championship grants a top prize of sixty thousand euros and Paolo has no intention of letting this opportunity go by.
ME MYSELF AND MUM by Guillaume Gallienne
A cheerful and inventive comic confessional about Guillaume Gallienne's upbringing, his relations with his mother, and his eventual embracing of his inner heterosexual after growing up as a female-identified boy whom everyone assumes is gay.
This is an intelligent but unashamedly crowd-pleasing film.

Johnston Out of Love Again, Expected Back Saturday
Editorial Staff • West End • 4 Jan 2007
Johnston, who made "an exceptionally swift recovery" following surgery last month, is on the mend after falling ill again, according to a spokesperson for the show, who said "she is a very determined woman and she is definitely hoping to be back by Saturday."
Johnston, who plays Joan in the UK premiere of John Kolvenbach's comedy drama Love Song at the West End's New Ambassador's Theatre, was replaced by Molly Regan (who played the same role in the play's world premiere at Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre) between 11 and 16 December 2006. Johnston returned to the company on 18 December 2006, but following further complications, has been absent since 27 December 2006.
In the meantime, Johnston's understudy, Romy Tennant, has been playing the role of Joan in John Crowley's production, alongside Cillian Murphy as her oddball brother Beane, who finds the woman of his dreams after his apartment is burgled by Molly (Neve Campbell).
Love Song opened at the New Ambassadors Theatre on 4 December (See News, 13 Oct 2006). It is produced in the West End by Sonia Friedman Productions, Robert G Bartner and Boyett Ostar Productions.

Five mutual fund lessons learned over 25 years
Rudy Luukko has been writing about mutual funds for 25 years. His advice includes making sure you invest outside Canada.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Being a professional fund-watcher has its valuable perks, and by that I don't mean lunches at manager road shows or pens embossed with company logos. For me, by far the best perks are the access to people and information.
Over the past 25 years (which includes being now in my 20th year as a contributor to the Star), I've gleaned insights into investing from portfolio managers and strategists, top executives and product developers, regulators, educators, analysts, financial advisors and others. Better still, I've been getting paid to learn.
What lessons have I learned? Here are my top five:
1. Make volatility work for you. Fund investors earn lower returns than the funds they invest in. Why? Because people tend to get spooked by bearish markets and sell at a loss, and because they tend to buy into funds that have already had a good run. During the devastating bear market of 2008-2009, I wasn't buying any more stock funds, but I wasn't selling either. Toughing it out paid off, since equity markets have recovered strongly and gone on to set record highs.
2. Know your investment horizon. The longer you stay invested, the more risk you can take. For the long-term investor, the best asset class is stocks. Sure, they're more volatile, but investors in companies - and by extension stock funds - get paid to take that risk. The worst long-term hold is cash or cash equivalents like money market funds. Conversely, the closer you are to the time you'll want to redeem, the more conservative your asset mix should be.
3. Look outside Canada. Investing at home is familiar and comfortable. Even so, Canada represents only about 4 per cent of the value of global stock markets. So if you invest only at home, you're missing out on opportunities in the remaining 96 per cent, whether in the United States, the developed overseas markets or emerging markets. There are world-class foreign companies in sectors such as technology and health care, which are under-represented in our resource-heavy market. Different markets march to different beats. By adding U.S. exposure, or better still by going global, you'll improve your risk-adjusted returns,
Related:Rudy Luukko's worst investment
4. Be tax-smart. Take advantage of RRSPs to defer tax, or tax-free savings accounts (TFSAs) to avoid tax altogether. If you have children, open registered education savings plans (RESPs) while they're in diapers. You'll save on taxes and, better still, get free government money. If you're fortunate enough to also hold investments in non-registered accounts, be tax-efficient. Bond funds or other holdings that generate most or all of their returns from fully taxable interest are better held in an RRSP, where tax can be deferred. Non-registered accounts are well suited for equity funds that generate capital gains or Canadian dividends, since these returns will be taxed at lower rates than interest or foreign dividends.
5. Watch your fees. Self-directed investors (I'm one of them) have a big cost advantage, provided they are knowledgeable, disciplined and buy mutual funds or ETFs that don't have an unused advice component bundled into their fees. If you need advice on your fund investments, you can typically expect to pay one per cent of the value of your holdings. That's $10 for every $1,000 invested, or $1,000 for every $100,000, each year. My advice on advice: If you need it, it's worth paying for, provided you get your money's worth from a knowledgeable and conscientious individual who does much more for you than recommend fund picks.

This Is The Most Terrifying Image Of Santa Claus Driving A Car
Let's just take a moment and really look at this picture here. There's a lot going on. It's from Museum Victoria's collection, in Australia, which is why it's so summery-looking. It was painted by James Higgins Quirk, and, while charmingly rendered, is nevertheless a little terrifying. Maybe because Santa is, like, 20… »
