|USS Enterprise
|United Federation of Planets
|Active (2258)
The USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) was an alternate reality Federation Constitution-class starship that was in service with Starfleet in the mid-23rd century. She was launched from San Francisco Fleet Yards, Earth in 2258 as the Federation flagship. (Star Trek)
Service history
The Enterprise was under construction around 2255 at the Riverside Shipyard, Iowa. The ship was launched into service from the San Francisco Fleet Yards.
The ship's planned maiden voyage in 2258, under the command of Christopher Pike, was brought forward after Earth received a distress call from Vulcan while the bulk of the fleet engaged in the Laurentian system. As a result, the Enterprise was crewed primarily by Starfleet Academy cadets. The ship launched from Starbase 1 with seven other starships to respond to the call, including the USS Farragut and USS Hood. However, its departure was delayed because helmsman Hikaru Sulu forgot to disengage the inertial damper, and the ship arrived shortly after the rescue fleet had been destroyed by the Romulan mining ship Narada.
The Enterprise proved to be no match for the technologically-advanced missiles of the Narada. Fortunately, Nero recognized the Enterprise as the vessel that Spock served on. He chose not to destroy the Enterprise to let Spock see the destruction of Vulcan. Enterprise found that it was unable to contact Starfleet or to begin evacuating the inhabitants of Vulcan, as the Narada's drill platform, while in operation, prevented communications and transporter use. After a sabotage of the drill platform, Nero launched a container of red matter into the planet core, which created a singularity that caused Vulcan to implode, along with all but 10,000 Vulcans. Following the destruction of Vulcan and the capture of Captain Pike, acting captain Spock intended to take the Enterprise to rendezvous with the rest of the fleet at the Laurentian system, but acting first officer James T. Kirk thought it better to attempt to stop Nero. Spock then marooned Kirk for mutiny on Delta Vega, but Kirk managed to beam back on with the help of another Spock and Scotty. Spock was forced to resign his command to Kirk according to Regulation 619, and the Enterprise reversed course in an attempt to intercept the Narada before it could strike Earth.
Emerging from warp in the atmosphere of Titan, the Enterprise hid from the Narada's sensors using the magnetic distortion of Saturn's rings, while beaming Spock and Kirk aboard the Romulan ship before its drill could be ignited. However, the duo could not be rescued as the drill was ignited shortly after. Kirk then rescued Pike, while Spock "confiscated" the Jellyfish and used it to destroy the drill. Spock then warped out of the system, with Nero pursuing. Spock set a collision course, and Nero launched his remaining missiles to defend the Narada. The Enterprise then warped in, phasers blazing, destroying the missiles, and allowing Spock to continue. Shortly before impact, Spock, Kirk, and Pike were beamed out by the Enterprise. The impact ignited the red matter aboard the Jellyfish, creating a black hole which consumed the Narada. The Enterprise was nearly pulled into the black hole as well, but the ship was saved when the ship's warp core was ejected and detonated, the resulting shockwave of which propelled the Enterprise to safety.
Following the successful mission of the Enterprise, Pike was promoted to admiral, and James Kirk was assigned to command the Enterprise as his relief. He subsequently chose Spock as his first officer.

Technical data
The Enterprise's secondary hull, nacelle pylons and connecting neck to the primary hull all sloped into the shuttlebay, which was able to hold at least twenty shuttlecraft despite being shorter than the ship's bow. The hull had iridescent plates and a subtle Aztec pattern. Escape pods could be launched from the port side of the neck.
The Enterprise's propulsion system included typical sub-light impulse engines, thrusters and faster-than-light warp nacelles. Thruster operation was seen when the ship rose from the atmosphere of Titan. The nacelles were highly curved and each culminated in a tip, both of which were shaped like a fin. The Bussard collectors dimly glowed blue and the fins would raise to reveal a glowing mechanism, when the ship engaged to warp. The deflector dish's center could also open and close.
Decks were named alphabetically on turbolift doors, although crew members like McCoy referred to them numerically.
The bridge was located on Deck A. Its viewscreen was a single window encompassing the whole bridge. The captain sat in the center of the bridge in the command chair behind the helm and navigation consoles. The bridge was painted white and lit by numerous lights that would bathe the room red when red alert was signaled. There were numerous consoles with blue holographic monitors and six transparent touchscreen boards. A turbolift (which also had white/red lights) was located on the port side, while airlocked doors were on the starboard side.
The circular upper corridors were also painted white, though the floors were black. The sickbay was located on Deck G. Ladders allowed crew members to go up or down to another corridor. The ship's appearance became gradually less futuristic looking as one went down in the ship, with visible ceiling railings in a communications relay room and a corridor to shuttlebay that had impromptu walls made of pipes. The engineering section was an immense maze of pipes and tanks. Often the only sign of futuristic technology was the intercom. Metal catwalks crisscrossed upper levels in some areas, such as Water Turbine Section 3.
The Enterprise's warp core consisted of several intermix chambers, each approximately three stories tall. When ejected, they were shot out though the ceiling (where an atmospheric force field presumably prevented decompressing the entire engineering section). They emerged from the lower part of the ship's neck, behind the hangar deck.
The Enterprise weapon systems consisted of six ball-turret phaser banks and photon torpedo launchers. Like the prime reality's refit of the ship, the torpedo bay was located in the neck and the phaser banks were placed on the bow, starboard and port sides of the bridge and its ventral counterpart. The phaser bolts were red. In the attack against the Narada, simultaneous rapid fire from all weapon ports was used to barrage the enemy.
Operation of the ship's transporters typically required that the target not move, relative to its own surroundings, before it could be dematerialized. The blue steps of the transporter glowed red when in use. Pavel Chekov was skilled enough in transporter operation that he could acquire a target that was in relative motion. Scotty later enabled the transporters to use his transwarp beaming formula, to enable Kirk and Spock to travel from the Enterprise – which was hidden within the magnetic field of Saturn's rings – to the Narada, as the latter craft orbited Earth. The transporter room was within running distance of the bridge. (Star Trek)

The USS Enterprise was designed by Ryan Church. On the Starships Blu-ray featurette it was acknowledged the ship has elements of both versions of the Template:ShipClass, and was also inspired by the sleekness of a hot rod car. The film's bridge, upper corridors and turbolift, transporter room, and sickbay were built as sets in Paramount Pictures. According to production designer Scott Chambliss and others on the film's Blu-ray and Star Trek - The Art of the Film, the ship's white upper levels were inspired by Pierre Cardin's architecture. The more industrial lower levels of the ship were filmed at a Budweiser brewery. The filmmakers filmed the engineering rooms on location instead of building a set because they lacked money.
Co-writer Roberto Orci explained the logic of having the Enterprise being built on Earth rather than in space, noting that components of the ship can be built on Earth and assembled anywhere and that the Enterprise is not "some flimsy yacht that has to be delicately treated and assembled." He also feels that it makes more sense to construct the ship within a natural gravity well rather than an area that will require an artificial gravity field. [1] Orci made these comments after a teaser trailer that was released prior to the film included footage, unseen in the movie itself, that showed the Enterprise under construction and being welded upon.
The finalized length of the Enterprise is portrayed as 2379.75 feet (725.35 meters) in the Starships Blu-ray feature and Star Trek - The Art of the Film (see Note 4 in the book). Gizmodo blog writer Jesus Diaz was the first to reveal this number, citing as his source a "David B." of Bad Robot Productions. [2] Bob Plant of Round 2 Models provided the exact same figure, saying it was specified by the licensor of their planned model kit, who in turn had obtained it from ILM. [3] [4] In a separate interview, Plant also asked Enterprise designer Ryan Church, who said that he was unable to address the changed size (compared to that of the original series Enterprise) and that ILM or J.J. Abrams could probably better answer the question. [5]
The article on the movie in Cinefex #118 notes that "the reconfigured ship was a larger vessel than previous manifestations — approximately 1,200-feet-long [370 meters] compared to the 947-foot ship [288.6 meters] of the original series". The source of this figure isn't given and the statement is followed by a quote from Visual Effects Art Director Alex Jaeger:
- "Once we got the ship built and started putting it in environments, it felt too small. The shuttle bay gave us a clear relative scale — shuttlecraft initially appeared much bigger than we had imagined — so we bumped up the Enterprise scale, which gave her a grander feel and allowed us to include more detail."
Star Trek illustrator John Eaves recalls that before he finished working on the movie in October 2007, the size of the Enterprise had been very much undefined, anywhere between 3,000 and 5,000 feet (900 and 1,500 meters). [6] [7] [8] A metric size chart dated September 10, 2007 shows the ship at 1,200 meters in length (3,900 feet), while some of the other vessels are also larger than in the later charts. (Star Trek - The Art of the Film) In the Starships Blu-ray feature, Alex Jaeger was showing an ILM size chart dated January 14, 2008, with the Enterprise length at 2,500 feet (760 meters). Earlier on his blog, Jaeger had quoted the same figure from an unspecified early chart, adding that the size may have been somewhat reduced later on. [9] Other published size figures are summarized below:
- The length was stated as 2,357 feet (718.4 meters) in a CG Society article on ILM's visual effects work for the film. [10]
- ILM model supervisor Bruce Holcomb said that the Enterprise was 2,000 feet (600 meters) long in an interview for Studio Daily. [11]
- The Post Magazine article 'Star Trek' Returns gives a length of 3000 feet (900 meters). [12]
- Experience the Enterprise includes the following dimensions:
- Length: 2,500 feet (760 meters)
- Saucer diameter: 1,100 feet (340 meters)
- Height: 625 feet (190.5 meters) [13]
The ship's dossier on the official movie website identifies the Enterprise as a Constitution-class heavy cruiser, the same as her prime universe counterpart, although this detail was not stated in the film. [14]. The website also notes that it was being "held in Beta Testing Ward 956 – approved for combat". The maximum speed of the Enterprise was given as warp 8.
As well as giving her class, length, saucer diameter and height, the Experience also lists the Enterprise's designer as "W. Matt Jefferies". It also states the D and E decks – located in the saucer – are used as offices and quarters for a crew of 1100, while F deck hosts the transporter room. Decks N and O in the secondary hull contain engineering, while the hangar is on Deck R. It is able to house sixteen shuttlecraft.

Hammersmith Apollo sold by HMV for £32m to American-German group Stage C
17:11 01 June 2012
London's famous Hammersmith Apollo entertainment venue has been sold for £32m by music retailer HMV.
The venue, where bands such as The Beatles and Queen have played, has been acquired by an American-German joint venture.
HMV has agreed to sell the art deco venue, which opened in 1932 as the Gaumont Palace cinema, to Stage C two years after taking over the 9,000-capacity arena.
It has played host to a number of noteworthy performances, including David Bowie's last concert as alter-ego Ziggy Stardust in 1973.
It is also the eponymous venue in the BBC stand-up comedy series Live at the Apollo.
HMV chief executive Simon Fox said: "The Hammersmith Apollo is an iconic London venue and it has been a privilege to own it over the last three years."
HMV said the sale allows it to focus on its core retail business, while the proceeds from the disposal will be used to reduce the group's outstanding debt.

State officials say Lynn Ring, 69, died at the scene and her 70-year-old husband, John Ring, was taken to the hospital with burns on his hands.
BRISTOL, Maine (AP) _ The Maine fire marshal's office is investigating a fire in which a woman was killed and a man was injured.
Maine Department of Public Safety spokesman Steve McCausland says the fire broke out in the attached garage of a house at about 12:30 p.m. Sunday.
McCausland says 69-year-old Lynn Ring died at the scene. Her body was found in the garage. Seventy-year-old John Ring was taken to the hospital with burns to his hands.
The fire started in the garage. The garage and a vehicle were destroyed.
Investigators say firefighters prevented the fire from causing significant damage to the home, which was built two years ago after a fire had destroyed the previous residence. The cause of that fire in 2011 was never determined.

May 2, 2016
A new study from Stanford University has found that "synesthetes," or people whose brains associate one sensory stimulation with another (think: Viewing a picture of a bird triggers the taste of metal in the mouth), might have been influenced by playing with colorful Fisher-Price numbers and letters in childhood.
Is it a wild leap? Not so, according to researchers Nathan Wittoff and Jonathan Winawer in their report posted in Psychological Science.
The researchers found that a subset of 11 subjects with "grapheme-color synesthesia" (where certain colors are associated with certain letters and numbers — collectively known as graphemes), had remarkable associative similarities to the color and number sets sold by the toy company in the 1970s and 1980s.
Ten of the subjects remembered, or even still owned, sets of alphabet fridge magnets.
One of the subjects had exact matching in her mind of the Fisher-Price letters, while the others had minor differences.
That said, synesthesia should not be confused with memory recall, the researchers warn.
Synesthetes experience the dual trigger of their senses in a very different way — sometimes projecting the color of the numbers and letters simultaneously while they read them on a page.
The condition also tends to run in families, who often have commonalities in what color is triggered by a certain grapheme.
About 40 percent to 50 percent of English speakers with grapheme-color synesthesia associate the letter Y with the color yellow, according to Inkfish, a science blog written by Elizabeth G. Preston, editor of MUSE children's science magazine.
Many studies show folks who "see" red R's, blue B's and violet V's, an association obviously informed by language. The Stanford subset of synesthetes, however, showed the association could also be learned.
Synesthetes are not negatively affected by their condition.
In fact, many feel it is to their advantage, especially those with grapheme-color associations, according to a 2004 study by synesthesia expert Richard Cytowic, since the condition is particularly helpful in memorization of both words and number sequences.
Consider how much easier "there," "their" and "they're" would be to memorize if the colors popped out differently for each letter!
Synesthesia is thought to affect approximately 1 in 200 to 1 in 100,000 people; estimates are not exact because testing of the condition is difficult.

This lab test measures the levels of the different types of the oxygen-carrying protein (hemoglobin) in the blood.
Hb electrophoresis; Hgb electrophoresis; Electrophoresis - hemoglobin
A blood sample is needed.
At the lab, the technician places the blood sample on special paper and applies an electric current. The hemoglobins move on the paper and form bands that show the amount of each type of hemoglobin.
No special preparation is necessary for this test.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or a slight bruise. This soon goes away.
You may have this test if your health care provider suspects that you have a disorder caused by abnormal forms of hemoglobin (hemoglobinopathy).
Many different types of hemoglobin (Hb) exist. The most common ones are HbA, HbA2, HbF, HbS, HbC, Hb H, and Hb M. Healthy adults only have significant levels of HbA and HbA2.
Some people may also have small amounts of HbF. This is the main type of hemoglobin in an unborn baby's body. Certain diseases are associated with high HbF levels (when HbF is more than 2% of the total hemoglobin).
HbS is an abnormal form of hemoglobin associated with sickle cell anemia. In people with this condition, the red blood cells sometimes have a crescent or sickle shape. The cells easily break down or can block small blood vessels.
HbC is an abnormal form of hemoglobin associated with hemolytic anemia. The symptoms are much milder than they are in sickle cell anemia.
Other, less common, abnormal Hb molecules cause anemias.
In adults, these hemoglobin molecules make up the following percentages of total hemoglobin:
In infants and children, these hemoglobin molecules make up the following percentages of total hemoglobin:
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or may test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The presence of significant levels of abnormal hemoglobins may indicate:
You may have false normal or abnormal results if you have had a blood transfusion within 12 weeks of the this test.
There is very little risk involved with having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:

I know that Valentine's Day is over, but I thought these cuties were worth sharing. I wanted to make a little something special for some friends on Valentines Day. But as usual, time got away from me. These little treats were so easy to whip up – and I never even had to turn on my oven! All I did was melt some white and dark chocolate in the microwave, dip Oreo cookies in it and decorate. If you wanted to get fancy, you could also make a cookie "bouquet" like the one above.
To make the "flowers", I inserted lollipop sticks into cream center of each cookie, and stuck them in the freezer to firm up. You'll want to use the Double Stuff Oreos for this, so that the sticks fit in without breaking apart the cookies. Once the cookies were somewhat frozen, it was a snap to coat them with the chocolate.
Some of the cookies were decorated with sprinkles and candies while the coating was still soft, so that they would stick. Others were hardened in the freezer and then drizzled with melted red and pink candy melts – again, so that the design would stick. I made these chocolate dipped Oreos for Valentine's Day, but you can decorate them for any holiday or occasion you like. Let your imagination run wild! And, it's a great project to do with the little ones too.
Now, who wouldn't love to get a sweet surprise like this?

Yea im not going to be able to do flutes at least not easly . I need to build one of them guns some day just to know how they work.
That's the best picture I can find right now that explains it. Remember that the HKs have no gas system, the force of the bolt getting pushed back pushes the rollers into the bolt head, where they have to push the carrier back to go into the bolt head enough to unlock.
Kinda hard to comprehend that it's not locked like other designs. What helps me imagine this is that if you put a cleaning rod down the barrel and pushed on the bolt face hard enough you would unlock the bolt, whereas with most designs as hard as you pushed you wouldn't do anything. The forces are too great to unlock something like a g3 with a cleaning rod, but you might be able to do it with one of the pistol caliber ones...
I keep trying to convinve myself I don't need one........but its not working :dunno:
not to bring up a dead thread, but 1biggun, can you still make x25 barrels to fit into an ak74 trunnion? I new and didn't have enough posts to PM you.
is this thread dead?
there never dead completly.
yes I can make barrels still and likely will be doing more work in the future. PM or email me with requests and Ill reply. Im swamped with life but hope to be in the shop once winter get here.
Id like to try one of those $33 GM .311 bore blanks in a 7.62x25 and see how they work out that would give a reasonable priced new blank source that will fit a 23mm trunion. I cant say what the accuracy would be but several factory submachine guns had .311 bore originaly Im told.
SARCO advertises 30 cal blanks cheap, 2 and 4 grove about $15 each. I think they are springfield barrels with the chamber cut off. centerfiresystems has yugo ak barrels from the crate for about the same, no pick. I think that means rough shape.
SARCO advertises 30 cal blanks cheap, 2 and 4 grove about $15 each. I think they are springfield barrels with the chamber cut off. centerfiresystems has yugo ak barrels from the crate for about the same, no pick. I think that means rough shape.
most of the time they are out and the ones I have got about half had bad bores despite them being advertised as good. also many are not as long as advertised and then you cant get 23mm out of them. the ones I was able to use made decent barrels and also ot your starting from a AK 74 kit the trunion will be 22MM so you likely be able to use it if its cut to far down the breach end. If you get a good one I can chamber it for you. I plan on doning more barrels this winter as well as a few other things.
the last bad one I had I chambered it any way and made a insert for a H&R shoot gun barrel. It shot fine even though there was some pitting in the bore in a few spots.
there worth a risk If they actualy have any in stock.
for $35 the GM .311 blanks are a option im not sure how they would shoot but some of the submachine guns in x25 had a .311 bore im told
The SARCO .30 cal dewat barrels (Springfield mfg) I gather are from 1903-A3 rifles ??? They could also be used for 7.62x25mm Tokarev ie in PPS-43 builds etc.
there definatly spring field there susposed to be drill gun barrels with un fired bores. they apear un fired but are not always in the best of shape. all the ones I had were made into 7.62x25 for my self or meambers here. some day im going to build the gun I want LOL. there worth a risk ask if there returnable. If they had beeen all good I would have likely bough 50 of them back when I first got into doing x25,s. back about a year ago they had two groove and 4 as I recall. the two grove were cheaper. I heard that the two grove work well for cast bullets but I dont know why they would be better just what I read on the net.

Unfortunately this action did not seem to be a broad indicator of market sentiment as roughly $7.0 billion was solely attributed to what seems to be large institutional moves into the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY). Taxable Bond funds ended the period with net outflows of just $100 million. Although fixed income mutual funds (+$1.3 billion) continued to keep investors attention, their ETF counterparts suffered net redemptions of $1.4 billion with investors moving out of shorter term treasury products—a possible side effect of both the continuation of Operation Twist as well as initial reports of positive moves toward new policies in the Eurozone. Municipal Bond funds posted their twelfth consecutive week of inflows at $317 million while Money Market products pushed $7.4 billion out their doors.

A number of AKDN programmes are resident in the UK; others have been assisted by collaborations with universities and institutions in the country. The Aga Khan Foundation office, set up in 1973, has been at the centre of these linkages. In addition to fruitful partnerships with the Department for International Development (DFID), AKF and other AKDN agencies - particularly the Aga Khan University - have enjoyed institutional collaborations with a number of universities, including the London Institute of Education, the University of Oxford, the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University.

A number of cultural events have been staged at UK venues, including Spirit & Life, an exhibition of rare Islamic art and manuscripts from the Aga Khan Museum collections, which ran at the Ismaili Centre, South Kensington, London. The Aga Khan Trust for Culture also brought 40 leading musicians and dancers from Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan to perform at the English National Opera in London. Future collaborations will include concerts at the Barbican and other cultural venues in the UK.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- The Wizards 124-109 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers -- albeit without LaMarcus Aldridge -- was best win of the season. By far.
It was one of those nights you can't help but giggle out loud, because you're so shocked of the events transpiring. It
felt like watching a kid at Chucky Cheese playing "Ski-Ball." Shots were falling through the hole that often.
These kind of nights for the pro basketball team in Washington D.C. have been far and few between since the days of the Arenas-Jamison-Butler monster. Washington's offense was a joy to view during the wee hours of the night, and for the entire game. There wasn't one lapse.
Is this the win give the Wizards the confident shooting touch they've been lacking? Probably not.
But there hasn't been one unexpected win this season for the Wizards.
It was a Valentines Day to remember for Wizards fans. Why?
1) Nobody could miss
As a team, the Wizards shot a blazing hot 60 percent from the floor. Nick Young (35 points, 7-for-8 from three-point) was wetter than a baby's diaper. Every shot Young took barely graced the rim. It was like he had superhero powers Tuesday night. Jordan Crawford had his first 20-plus point performance since December 30 against Milwaukee and was an astounding +24 in point differential while he was on the floor. Crawford literally made every right decision, and his passing has gradually improved throughout the year.
Minus his 19 turnovers in the last three games (sounds a lot worse than it actually is) John Wall was in complete control of the tempo and choosing which Wizard was going to get the next shot. His stat line is just as gorgeous as his play was: 29 points, 10-for-14 shooting, 8-for-9 from the line, nine assists and two blocks.
2) Portland was actually playing pretty well
Which makes this feeling of a second consecutive blowout victory all the more sweeter. Nicolas Batum tied a career-high with 33 points. Gerald Wallace poured in 25 points and eight assists. Portland's defense of the Wizards perimeter could have been better, but it wasn't atrocious. The Blazers shot a very commendable 47 percent from the floor too. Portland can't kick themselves for this loss; the Wizards straight up outplayed them.
3) Stifling defense in the second quarter
There were large gaps in between scoring possessions for the Blazers on Tuesday, which means the Wizards were producing stops. Here are some of the larger gaps between Portland scores in the second:
11:03-8:41, 7:20-5:26, 1:57-0:00. Washington outscored the Trail Blazers 30-20 in the quarter, enabling the Wiz Kids to grip momentum firmly.
The Wizards aren't playing like themselves and hope to continue that trend Wednesday night in Los Angeles against the Clippers. Win or loss, expect a full on analysis piece of this Wizards team tomorrow AM.

Lismore stemware was inspired by Ireland's spectacular Lismore Castle, once home to Sir Walter Raleigh. Waterford's master artisans hand blow each piece from 24% lead crystal, then cut the bowls with elaborate diamond and wedge cuts. Introduced in 1952, the flutes look sleek and contemporary thanks to tapered, faceted stems and straight-sided bowls. Each glass is etched with Waterford's sea horse logo, adapted from the Waterford City coat of arms. The Waterford company has been known for producing fine crystal since 1783. 7-oz. cap., 9 1/4" high. Made in Europe. Set of two.

A while back, I got an email from a reader who sent me a link to an organization I had not heard of before, but now believe should be known by others. The group is called EntertainmentResource.org – their stated mission is the following:
The Entertainment Resource Professionals Association (ERPA) is a coalition of independent organizations and individuals who work to inspire cause-specific story ideas within entertainment media, and to provide accurate and unbiased public health information to members of television, film and video game industries. ERPA's primary purpose is to serve as a support system and resource for its participants working in this new and growing field, which we call Entertainment Outreach. ERPA members gather monthly in the Los Angeles area to ensure regular networking opportunities. The organization also hosts a listserv for ongoing information sharing.
This group is co-sponsored by The Media Project (a project of Advocates for Youth), and the UCLA School of Public Health. Sounds simple and harmless right?
Not exactly.
The Media Project is a group that advocates for adolescent education of abortion, contraception, homosexual identity, etc. Their mission is:
The Media Project, a program of Advocates for Youth, offers entertainment professionals the latest facts, research assistance, script consultation, and story ideas on today's sexual and reproductive health issues, including condoms, pregnancy, HIV/AIDS, abstinence, and abortion.
So, they consult with Hollywood writers, producers, directors, actors, and other professionals to bring their agenda to the table. Are they successful in getting their viewpoints across? They sure are and tout their successes on their website.
The industry respects them and uses them as consultants. They are an outreach service of Advocates for Youth. This group has the same agenda, but with many other goals, including sex education curricula in schools, lobbying elected official, research that supports their goals, etc. They are run by a former executive at NARAL – a national pro-abortion group.
So, now the connection all comes together. The list of people involved includes "educators, researchers, public health officials, public relations professionals, writers, journalists, publicists, advertisers and media professionals, among others."
Here are some of the "facts" that are on the AFY website:
- Abstinence-only-until-marriage curricula teach that sexual expression outside of marriage will have harmful social, psychological and physical consequences, thereby stigmatizing and shaming students who have already had sex;.
- Abstinence-only-until-marriage programs discriminate against GLBTQ students who can't legally marry by expressing relationships in strict heterosexual standards.
- Advocates for Youth believes that it is time to get over the "condom phobia" promoted during the last eight (8) years. Young people need all the facts about condoms and not just the negative spin from social conservatives.
- Advocates for Youth believes that birth control is basic health care and that confidential access to birth control benefits. Every person has the right to decide when they want to have children and how many.
- Advocates for Youth supports removing the arbitrary age restriction for emergency contraception over-the-counter for all women of reproductive age. No young woman should have to face an unwanted pregnancy when a remedy exists to prevent pregnancy.
This is all harmful for our children and society. We need to stand up and oppose these kind of programs and the public funding of such programs that run contrary to the health and well-being of our society.
We also need to support groups that are trying to change the culture of the entertainment industry, such as:
- Act One
- Origin Entertainment
- John Paul The Great Catholic University – Communications Media Department
- Family Theater Productions
We also need to pray for those who work in the entertainment industry and love them enough to try an influence them to change their ways if they are advocating things that are unhealthy for themselves or others. (0)

A new study is now linking physical punishment with mental health disorders.
Canadian researchers found that when a child received physical punishment such as slapping, pushing, and hitting, even without neglect or abuse they were likely to experience mood disorders, anxiety, substance abuse, and personality disorders.
Many parents argue that they were spanked and came out just fine. However, previous studies have shown that people who were spanked are at a higher risk for depression and are likely to use alcohol. Prior studies also showed that people who were physically punished were likely to hit their spouses and children and engage in criminal activity.
The American Academy of Pediatrics and the Canadian Pediatric Society advises against the use of corporal punishment. Spanking is considered against the law in 32 countries– not including the United States and Canada.

On the northeastern side of Hokkaido lies Shiretoko, a peninsula that extends to the northernmost cape of Japan. Considered to be the last pristine wilderness of Japan, Shiretoko is a prime example of the symbiotic relationship between marine and terrestrial ecosystems that have proven to be rich resources for biologists around the world. It is here that the formation of seasonal ice at the lowest latitude in the northern hemisphere serves as an attractive destination for migratory species, thus warranting Shiretoko's inclusion as one of Japan's UNESCO World Heritage locales.
Shiretoko is one of Japan's eco-tourism destinations of choice. There are several activities for any type of trip you plan that lets you absorb its scenic outdoors or its peaceful tranquility. For the nature lover, take a hike through the gorgeous mountains of Shiretoko National Park as you walk past the beautiful Five Lakes and witness the various wildlife that inhabit the area. For the pleasure-seeker, visit one of Shiretoko's wonderful natural hot spring destinations, each taking full advantage of the pristine nature that surrounds them with views of mountains, trees, and lakes.
Shiretoko is covered with untouched forests, precipitous coastlines, and volcanic areas that indicate Japan's extensive range of natural environments. Harsh winters provide ski and snowboard enthusiasts with ideal powder snow as well as some of the finest resorts in the country. The warmer months merit a visit to Shiretoko simply due to its nickname as a waterfall kingdom", where visitors may take boat tours throughout the peninsula's quiet lakes to witness some of the most breathtaking falls in the world. Maintaining the ecology of Shiretoko is of particular importance to the residents of Hokkaido, so visit the area to witness some of the most beautiful unspoiled environments left in the country.

Hydralazine for High Blood Pressure During Pregnancy
|Generic Name
Hydralazine is sometimes used to treat high blood pressure during pregnancy. It can be given through a vein (intravenously, or IV) to quickly lower severe high blood pressure or by mouth as a tablet to control high blood pressure over a period of time.
How It Works
Hydralazine relaxes the smooth muscle of blood vessels. This relaxation causes the blood vessels to widen (dilate), reducing blood pressure.
Why It Is Used
Hydralazine is used to lower severe high blood pressure during pregnancy whether or not a woman has preeclampsia.
Hydralazine should not be used by women who have kidney disease or who are allergic to this medicine.
How Well It Works
Hydralazine provides dependable and effective reduction of severely high blood pressure in pregnant women.1, 2
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor if you have:
- Hives.
- Headache and dizziness.
- Severe pain in the chest (angina).
- Skin rash.
- Fever.
- Shortness of breath.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Diarrhea.
- Fast heart rate (tachycardia).
- Headache.
- Nausea or vomiting.
- Lack of appetite.
The rapid lowering of blood pressure with this medicine may affect blood flow to the fetus. So it is done under close medical supervision.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Hydralazine lowers blood pressure quickly. For this reason, both mother and fetus are closely monitored during its use. Blood pressure is checked as often as every 15 minutes while the woman is being given intravenous hydralazine.
Hydralazine should not be used by women who have kidney disease or who are allergic to this medicine.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
When you are pregnant or breast-feeding, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant or breast-feeding.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

- "You've never been of the receiving end of one of her Bat-Bogey Hexes, have you?"
- —George Weasley to Harry Potter on Ginny Weasley's spellcasting[src]
The Bat-Bogey Hex was a hex invented by Miranda Goshawk.[1] The incantation is unknown. It turned the target's bogeys into large, black bats that flew out of their nose.[1]
Known uses
Early 20th century
This spell was invented by Miranda Goshawk when she was young. Growing up as the youngest of nine sisters, she often found it difficult to get her older sisters to listen to her, and sometimes relied on this spell to silence them long enough to allow her to speak. For example, she cast it on her sister Diadema to get her to return clothing she borrowed without permission; on her sister Romilda to get her to keep out of her room when she did not want to be disturbed; and on her sister Tangwystl when she wanted to keep her quiet so that she could do her homework.[1]
Late 20th century
Ginny Weasley was a noted practitioner of the hex, and used it to good effect on two occasions. The first use was to overpower Draco Malfoy in Dolores Umbridge's office during her tyrannical tenure as Headmistress of Hogwarts, allowing herself, her brother Ron, and their companions, Neville Longbottom, and Luna Lovegood, to escape[2]. The second occasion was used on Zacharias Smith, who annoyed Ginny on the Hogwarts Express by asking her exactly what occurred at the Battle of the Department of Mysteries. This use garnered the attention of Horace Slughorn, who invited Ginny to take lunch with him as part of his Slug Club.[3] Ginny may have also used this spell on her brother George, as he once mentioned her skill to Harry Potter.

- Abstract
- In the present study, nano- and macro-scale characterisations on the mechanical properties of bovine cortical bones have been performed by using nanoindentation and conventional compressive tests. Nanoindentation results showed that the elastic modulus for the osteons and the interstitial lamellae in the longitude direction were 24.7 ± 2.5 GPa and 30.1 ± 2.4 GPa. As it's difficult to distinguish osteons from interstitial lamellae in the transverse direction, the average elastic modulus for cortical bovine bone in the transverse direction was 19.8 ± 1.6 GPa. Significant differences were found in the modulus values between different microstructures of bone tissue and in different testing direction. It was found that the elastic modulus of bone bovine material in nano-level was higher than that in macro-level. The elastic modulus and ultimate stress of large bone samples were 12.5 ± 1.9 GPa and 195 ± 19 MPa respectively from the compression test.

Why sell such good equipment?
Reading the paper I noticed that the city is selling some well-maintained, lower-than-average mileage vehicles and equipment. I am questioning when our taxes are going up so much, why they are discontinuing to use them if they are so darn good.

Austria's Influence on American Skiing / Hannes Schneider and His Disciples (1890-1940). This film traces the early history of Alpine skiing in America and the influence of the Austrians.
In St. Anton, Austria, Hannes proved that all that was to be the ski industry was possible. There he started one of the world's first ski schools and ski shops, starred in some of the first ski movies ever made (which received considerable international attention and acclaim), and developed hia now famous Arlberg ski and ski teaching techniques. The effect of his many talents and activities raised the international profile of skiing, which in turn led to growing interest and participation in alpine skiing and culture throughout the world, particularly America, where with his blessing some of his instructors were recruited to teach. With the Nazi takeover of their beloved Austria, Hannes, a staunch pro-Austrian nationalist, fled to the Americas. There he joined many of his self-proclaimed disciples, who were already teaching at, leading, and developing some of the Americas first ski resorts: Peckett's on Sugar Hill, as well as Black Mountain and Mt. Cranmore in New Hampshire, Stowe, Vermont, Mt. Baker, Mt. Hood, and Mt. Rainier in the Pacific Northwest, Sun Valley, Idaho, and Badger Pass, and Sugar Bowl in California.

May 5, 2016
The state Transportation Department is holding more public hearings on a proposal to apply tolls on previously free ferry routes and raise prices on others.
Hearings will be held Monday in Morehead City; Tuesday in Southport; Wednesday in Hatteras; and Monday, Feb. 24, on Ocracoke.
Public hearings were held previously in Knotts Island, Washington and Grantsboro. The two-hour hearing on Knotts Island became heated, with the crowd speaking out against the tolls.
State lawmakers have mandated that new ferry acquisitions be funded through tolling, advertising and concessions.
New or higher tolls are proposed for all seven of North Carolina's ferry routes. New tolls would range from $1 for a pedestrian to $28 for a large multi-axle truck. The average passenger vehicle would be charged $7. Annual passes would be available.

Gloves and Mitts
"If it doesn't fit, you must acquit." This became the famous phrase that Johnnie Cochran used to persuade the jury that his client, O.J. Simpson, was not guilty of murdering his ex-wife and her friend. He argued that since the murderer's gloves didn't fit Mr. Simpson, he could not have possibly have committed the murder. The jury may have required a lot of convincing, but you don't need a lawyer to tell you that you should check out our great collection of gloves and mitts to accessorize your costume for your next Halloween event or theme party.

Many popular characters wear gloves with their outfits. This includes superheroes, video game characters, clowns, horror movie villains, ninjas, flappers, princesses, and bikers. If you are dressing up as any of these types of characters for your next costume event, then chances are that you need a pair of gloves to complete your outfit. A superhero costume like Iron Man or Spider-Man just wouldn't be complete without a pair of gloves. Characters from Super Mario Bros. also need those cartoon gloves to complete their looks, and we bet you can't even picture Mickey Mouse without his big white gloves.
While a pair of gloves seems to be the norm, there are characters and personalities that go against the grain and break away from the two-glove style. For example, Michael Jackson made the one-glove look extremely fashionable – even to the point where people didn't want to buy both gloves anymore. He usually wore a single white glove or a silver sequin glove, which always seemed to fit so well with his outfit. Another character who became popular for wearing a single glove is the antagonist from the Nightmare on Elm Street series, Freddy Krueger. His single finger-claw glove is enough to give any child nightmares.

Olive leaf extract, also known as OLE, is drawn from the leaves of the remarkable olive tree, which holds the scientific name of Olea europaea. Unprocessed olive leaves are known to contain a high level of anti-oxidants such as hydroxytyrosol, oleuropein, and additional flavonoids and polyphenols. These ingredients are the reason behind the pungent flavor and bitter taste of the olive leaves.
The use of olive leaf extract can be traced back to ancient times, and it was used predominantly by the Egyptians for treating a wide variety of ailments. The olive leaf extract was considered to contain heavenly powers, and current research has added additional support for the olive leaf extract's ability to help prevent and possibly cure numerous health issues. Known to be especially effective in treating viral infections, this remarkable extract possesses the ability to prevent the virus from reproducing and affecting additional cells located throughout the body, therefore preventing infection. Additionally, olive leaf extract contains anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties.
Due to the high levels of anti-oxidants contained in olive leaf extract, this plant based extract aids in reducing free radicals, which are known to attack cells and tissues. Therefore, it has been recognized for restoring cells through the prevention of cellular damage. Olive leaf extract has recently been marketed for treating bacterial infections, stimulating the immune system, and as an anti-aging product. The extract is available in a variety of forms including capsules, powder, and a liquid concentrate. When purchasing the extract, be sure to purchase a reputable brand in order to receive the maximum benefits.
Capsules are the most common form of olive leaf extract, with each pill containing between 60mg and 500mg. The extract can also be obtained in a concentrated liquid form. There isn't a precise, recommended dosage for the extract; however, it has been used safely for hundreds of years without exhibiting any serious side effects. To avoid overdosing on even an herbal medicine, it's recommended that you consult a physician to help determine the correct dosage that's right for you.
Adult Dosage:
When consumed in its concentrated liquid form, olive leaf extract should be taken twice on a daily basis. To help cure bacterial infections, the dosage should be increased to two full droppers for every two hours that pass. For treating fever symptoms, the amount should again be increased to a level of three full droppers every two hours. If you're using the extract in capsule form, you can take up to two 500 mg capsules two times per day.
Dosage for Kids:
Although considered safe for all ages, it's best to keep the dosages to a minimum for children. Their smaller bodies may be considerably more sensitive to the extract than adults. For children, it's best to reduce the dosage by half.
Olive leaf extract should not be taken while using other antibiotics because it could possibly affect their function and effectiveness. Otherwise, over the course of several centuries, no side effects have ever been recognized from using the extract in excess. Although it's safer to consume smaller amounts, every individual has different sensitivities and react differently to different elements and types of food. Finally, it's recommended that you consult an herbal practitioner prior to consuming the extract; the dosage can vary between individuals and are dependent upon the reason for taking the extract in the first place.

Workers in the country have been urged to support efforts being made to combat inflation and rising prices of essential commodities.
This was said yesterday in Dar es Salaam by acting Dar es Salaam regional commissioner Mwantumu Mahiza at celebrations to mark the International Workers' Day, whose theme this year is: 'Low salary, high tax and price hike, a big blow to workers".
"If we really want to reduce inflation, farmers and workers should responsibly perform their duties. Even if the government increases basic salary to a million still the price of goods will be hiked…so, a million will be useless," she explained.
Mahiza claimed that if authorities would individually play their part, including taking farm inputs to the farmers on time, it would encourage farmers to produce more and sell their crops at reasonable prices.
She called upon the workers to also put efforts in demanding their rights and in pressing managements to act responsibly in ensuring that workers' rights were taken care of.
For his part, Regional Secretary of the Tanzania Union of Industrial and Commercial Workers (Tuico), Willy Kibona, urged the government to reduce pay-as-you-earn (Paye) tax charged particularly on salaried workers.
Kibona said that the 19.9 percent of inflation in the country affected the financial ability of the workers; therefore the government has to review it by considering the common workers' salaries.
"The current system of paying as you earn is not matching to our salaries since the cost of living is so high…they should at least take 9 to 10 per cent and not between 14 and 18 per cent," Kibona said.
He also asked the government to review various rates contributed to pension funds and the amount to paid during retirement to come up with a uniform amount. According to him, currently all pension funds including the National Social Security Fund (NSSF), Public Service Pension Fund (PSPF), Government Employees Provident Fund (GEPF) and Parastatal Pensians Fund (PPF) charge different rates.
Responding, acting Dar es Salaam RC said the government would work on the workers' concerns and grievances, noting that she could not give immediate response on specific issues.

Trust in Education
this wiki
Trust in Education is a nonprofit organization operated by Budd Mackenzie, that promotes village-to-village programs and builds schools in Afghanistan. In 2010 they also began to ship a few solar oven kits to the area. The kits were prefabricated by Jack Howell. Howell built five solar oven kits in his garage, and Mackenzie will supervise the set-up of the cookers and provide some training.
Ninety percent of the cooking in Afghanistan is done using fires that burn trees, whose wood is usually collected by women and children. The children can't attend school and the women are being exposed to smoky cooking fires, causing sever respiratory problems. If these cookers are successful, the plan is to build 120 cookers more of these cookers, sponsored by various organizations including the Boy Scouts and local high schools. The solar cookers are a good fit by providing more time for education for the children. Those wishing to help in their efforts should contact Mackenzie.
News and recent developments
- July 2011: Solar Cooking Expo at Northern Virginia Mosque Solar cooking in Islamic countries is on the rise, but its wide-spread acceptance as a significant way to reduce the damage caused by smoky cooking fires will need greater support from the international development community. Solar Cookers International (SCI) board member Patricia McArdle and Afzal Syed of the Dar al Noor Mosque congregation contributed to this goal by hosting a well-attended solar cooking demonstration at Syed's mosque in Manassas, Virginia on Saturday July 9. Solar Household Energy co-founder Louise Meyer and two SHE volunteers from Washington DC also participated in this event. A popular DC radio show interview with McArdle about her novel Farishta two days before the event, drew large crowds from around the northern Virginia/DC metro region. Visitors sampled a variety of traditional and modern foods (lentils, rice, eggs, spiced potatoes, mixed vegetables, dahl, popcorn, chai tea--and for dessert, chocolate, yellow, lemon and spice cakes) all of which were baked, boiled, fried and roasted in the many solar cooker models on display. McArdle also demonstrated a StoveTec rocket stove and a retained-heat cooking basket in her integrated cooking method display. Members of the Dar al Noor Mosque community and other Muslim visitors told McArdle that solar cooking technology would be an extremely useful addition to the cooking devices currently used by people in their sun-drenched, fuel-starved home countries, including Pakistan, Morocco, Afghanistan, Nigeria, Egypt, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan and by Darfur refugees in Chad. The event was initially proposed by Mr. Syed, a member of the Dar al Noor community, who attended a January 2011 solar cooking demonstration at the UN in New York, organized by SCI board member AJ Lederman and hosted by SCI Executive Director AmyJo Mattheis. Soon after seeing that exhibit, Mr. Syed traveled to his home country with several Cookits, which he demonstrated to amazed friends and neighbors in Pakistan. Mr. Syed and his family are convinced that the widespread introduction of solar cooking technology in Pakistan could dramatically reduce the quantities of firewood, charcoal and LPG that are currently consumed at great expense and with serious environmental costs. The many visitors attending the Dar al Noor Mosque solar cooker exhibit agreed, as does McArdle, who has served for the past six months as a solar cooking expert on the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves Fuel and Technology working group. McArdle is continuing with her efforts to convince the GACC and the U.S. Department of Energy to give as much support to R&D for solar thermal cooking technology as they are currently devoting to the improvement of wood burning fuel efficient stoves ($12.5 million). Dar al Noor mosque leaders said they would like to host another solar cooking demonstration next year. Under clear blue skies and with large enthusiastic crowds attending the event, Mr. Syed and the solar cooking team were convinced that they had accomplished their goal of spreading the word about solar cooking to a whole new audience.
- January 2011: Ninety-five solar box ovens have been assembled and painted. The short term goal is to deliver them to refugee camps in Afghanistan and convince as many Afghan families as possible to use them whenever possible. In the long term, we hope to find a way for Afghans to build and sell solar ovens themselves. More information...
- January 2011: A gift from America
- September 2010: An initial shipment of five solar cookers have been sent to Afghanistan.
