August 2004
by Lt. Gen. Lawrence P. Farrell, Jr., USAF (Ret)
The U.S. Army faces enormous challenges today, as it continues to fight wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and other theaters. With an overstretched force—currently 165,000 soldiers in 120 countries—and unforeseen future threats, the Army deserves much credit for what troops are accomplishing in the battlefield. Notably, the Army also must be recognized for how it has managed to improve its responsiveness to soldiers' equipment needs in the field.
Among the organizations that really have pulled out all the stops to get needed technology to the field quickly is the Army Research Development and Engineering Command. Under the leadership of Maj. Gen. John Doesburg, RDECOM, which only has been in existence for about a year, has managed to structure itself to respond to urgent requirements and prepare for the future.
The creation of the RDECOM, although initially not supported universally across the Army, was a wise move that now is paying dividends. In addition to expediting the development and deployment of useful technologies, the command has imbued the Army with a "rapid fielding" mentality that may permanently shape the way the service does business.
The war certainly brought the sense of urgency that helped accelerate the type of business reforms that the Army needed to become more responsive. RDECOM devised a strategy that would allow the command to stay focused on the most pressing priorities but also keep an eye on the future.
This is no small task. The Army, although the most technologically advanced in the world, essentially operates legacy equipment mostly designed and built in the 1970s and 1980s. It has to begin modernizing soon. The Army set a vision for its 21st century force in the Future Combat Systems program. FCS got under way in 1999, when there was no expectation of major enemies or wars. The priorities obviously changed after 9/11. The Army has been engaged in multiple theaters, and the equipment is wearing out at rates that the service had not seen in decades. Being at war has forced the Army to rethink its approach to modernization. The soldiers on the front lines need technology now, and cannot wait until FCS comes along in 2010 or 2012.
This is where RDECOM's role becomes critical. The command crafted a plan that would push technology from the lab to the battlefield quickly, without necessarily neglecting the important research and development work associated with FCS.
In a matter of weeks or days after receiving a request from the field, RDECOM has been able to field technologies that have made a huge difference. Some of those technologies have been in the headlines for the past two years, such as the PacBot robots that scour caves and the so-called omni-directional inspection systems, small robotic vehicles that crawl under vehicles and search for bombs and explosives. Other systems that were rushed to the field include high-performance laptop computers, mobile communications networks and blue-force tracking devices.
To make the process smoother and more horizontally integrated, Doesburg has divided up the workload at RDECOM and assigned major responsibilities to two key program executive officers. The PEO for soldier systems, Brig. Gen. Jamie Moran, became RDECOM's deputy for operations. The PEO for ammunition, Brig. Gen. Paul Izzo, is the deputy for futures.
Gradually making their way out of the labs are promising technologies that could make a huge difference in future battlefields. Examples in the nanotechnology arena include waterproof weaves for clothing, and sensors and communications devices embedded in garments. Other relevant technologies are bio-fuel cells and advanced cornstarch polymers that could be used in clothing.
Several ambitious projects now under way seek breakthroughs that we may not see for many years, such as drastically lighter body armor and miniature fuel cells that could power combat vehicles. These technologies will be pursued aggressively under the FCS program.
The good news for future war fighters is that FCS, unlike any previous large military hardware program, is intensely focused on the soldier as the center of an integrated network. It is not about pursuing technology for technology's sake, but about supporting soldiers, pushing innovation and leveraging human skills and capabilities.
The successes at RDECOM are both encouraging and revealing, proving that relevant technology can be fielded quickly, with the proper organization and hard work. Their accomplishments thus far bode well for the future of the Army.

The Tanzania Revenue Authority granted tax exemptions amounting to Sh1.016 trillion during the year 2011, which was an increase of 49 percent compared to the previous year.
In 2010, exemptions cost taxpayers a total of Sh680 billion. The total tax exemption issued last year was 18 percent of actual tax amount collected by the TRA, amounting to Sh5.5 trillion.
To put things into perspective, the total exemptions granted to various institutions, if used for one item, would have purchased 500,000 tractors. That is a lot more than the much touted 'Kilimo Kwanza' drive needs in order to succeed.
In simple arithmetic the 500,000 tractors if distributed to 100 farming districts, gives each district 5,000 tractors, more than we might possibly need in the short term to enable our agriculture output to surge rapidly.
Alternatively, amounts granted as exemptions would have funded 50,000 students at all universities for two years at the cost of Sh10 million for each student eligible for an education loan.
The money is equal to what the Tanzania government borrowed from the Chinese bank last year to finance the construction of a major gas pipeline from Mtwara to Dar es Salaam. While we granted exemptions amounting to Sh1 trillion, just a few months ago, the Tanzania Electricity Supply Co. was struggling to borrow Sh480 billion from a consortium of local and international banks.
It's time now to abolish these costly tax exemptions if we really want to boost the government's revenues. For instance why grant an exemption to a government official who buys a fancy Mercedes Benz S500, which is not productive to the economy?
It's appalling to see that at a time when the world is struggling with a prolonged economic crisis, we are busy granting huge tax exemptions at our own peril. Gone are the days when exemptions were granted to anybody provided he is in the good books of the Finance Minister.
Present are the days when the government should stop unnecessary exemptions as well as lavish spending, if it really wants to survive economically and politically in future.
Last year we strongly condemned the government's move to allocate about $800 million (Sh1.2 trillion) for allowances to government officials during the 2011/12 fiscal year. This is another way of misuse of public funds.
Let us not spend beyond our means. The government should understand that it collects our taxes, and in return, it pays us back by investing in economic and social development. Failure to that is justification for it to be ousted by the voters through the ballot box.

Actually, I think there is a logic to it. Winning the GF again, with a wonderful performance, winning the WCC, being central to the excellent series of wins in the Autumn, makes a fine body of work. As the award looks at which player has been the most influential, it is feasible for a player who is not the best in any position to win through consistency, inspiration and leadership.
If the Aussies were that bothered about having a more objetive test, they could have clamoured for a tour Down Under or a Tri or 4 Nations. If they want to sit on a beach when Sir Kevin is leading the way for England, they aren't in a strong position to moan.
Maybe not the most gifted of players but always,always gives 100%,inspirational leader and fantastic role model.Congratulations Kevin Sinfield.
Also, id add that he received 3 back to back man of the match awards in the play offs, including the final, and could argue he was THE reason that Leeds won the Grand Final this year
Great post EW
Spot on TWIG
Southstander wasn't aware of three back to back man of the matches - not bad for a player who doesn't deserve it in many people's opinions
Sinfield is a wonderful captain and a rugby league brain - simply outstanding !!

"We'll be fine without him."
"Two threesomes in one day; now that's a real triple double."
"If that's the case, then I had more triple doubles with your mom than on the court"
Jason William "Captain" Kidd (born March 23, 1654) is an American professional basketball point guard and ex-pirate who plays for the Dallas Mavericks of the National Basketball Association. Born in 1654, he is the oldest player in the NBA and second oldest in the world (behind John McCain). In his unusually long life, he became accomplished in both careers: an all time leader in many basketball categories (triple doubles, steals, and games without a championship) and in pirate categories (ship takeovers, steals, and virgins desecrated). He could never win the big one until 2011 when he won the Nationwide Basketball Society championship by beating the Miami Globetrotters.
Captain Kidd
Because of the left-wing media, few people know that Jason Kidd is in fact the notorious Captain Kidd that scourged the seven seas in the late 17h century. Captain Kidd was in fact a nautical genius, as he navigated his ship through tight naval defense, leading his crew of scaly wags on a fast break offense that would leave merchant ships robbed of all their booty before they knew what hit'em. He was similarly skilled as a wing-man as his crew was always in the right position to nail the open slut.
What made him such a great Captain was not his individual skills, but the fact that he made his crew better. This earned him the Most Valuable Pirate award in 1692, but unfortunately, his MVP trophy was robbed by Captain Timothy Dunkin during battle. This lead him to go on a futile expedition to find it, where he instead found 50 STDs.
Because of one of the STDs, Kidd fell ill. His sub-optimal state was taken advantage of while sailing in Boston by Captain Maul Pierce. His ship was trapped and he was captured and subsequently molested by Pierce who was a pervert. (That's the Truth).
The trial was one of the most covered that century. The sensationalist media circulated wild fabrications of Captain Kidd, accusing him of torture and being a Miami Heat fan. The jury pronounced him guilty for piracy and convicted him to 293 years in prison. This, they thought, was essentially a life sentence.They failed to know that Kidd , on his expedition to find his MVP award, actually found the famous fountain of youth, making him immortal. Knowing that he would survive the sentence, Kidd prepared mentally for almost three centuries of boredom and anal rape.
Prison Life and Discovery of Basketball
With eyes on the back of his ass, Kidd was able to avoid being raped better than anyone in the prison. In fact he set the single season record for fewest rapes with three in 1784. In an interview with Ahmad Rashad he claimed that these instances were voluntary and therefore he was never raped (This is not verifiable).
Avoiding rape only took so much of his time, so he decided to pick up the newly created game of basketball, invented by the only black man in the penitentiary. Kidd's previous favorite sport was battery-ball which is played by assaulting your wife until she is dead or has divorced you. He was mediocre at the game but this new basketball gave him the opportunity to dominate a sport. For 200 years Kidd played pick up basketball games, becoming an expert in passing,rebounding, defending, and everything else except the incredibly difficult "jump shot".
After incredibly exhausting 8OT game, Kidd went back to his cell and took a nap. He forgot to set his alarm, however, leading him to oversleep for 100 years. He was woken up when his sentence was over and upon leaving prison, he decided to use his basketball skills to achieve fame in the NBA.
NBA Career
Though a great basketball player for the past two centuries, Kidd became famous for it when he entered the NBA. In the NBA, he established himself as one of the games greatest point guards, earning him the nickname "The White John Stockton". So great he was, he was able to dominate games without getting a single shot. It should be noted, however, that this was because he couldn't score a single shot. All his points came from free throws. His .000 FG% is still better than Shaq's free throw % which was somehow negative.
Dallass Mavericks
Kidd's first team was with the Dallas Mavericks. Along with Kidd, the team was led by Jim "Stonewall" Jackson, and Jamal Ashburns, creating a big three that made them good enough to distract Dallas sports fans until the Cowboys' preseason.
Despite the great potential, the team was broken up after some an event off the court destroyed the team's chemistry. Kidd and Jackson were getting some booty at a swingers party, when Jackson gave a rave review to Kidd about the ebony goddess Shaneeqwa. Kidd got her in bed, but he soon found out she was a tranny. Jackson laughed his ass off, but Kidd was so pissed off he demanded a trade.
Phoenix Suns
Kidd made a name for himself as a Sun, as he led the league in assists and hairstyle changes for two seasons. The fan base, however, grew weary of the fact that the team was repeatedly beaten in the first round. So the team managers decided to trade their best player, Kidd, for a sack of manure, in order to not make the first round all together.
It wasn't until three years later, however, that the Suns realized the sack of manure was actually Stephon Marbury. After this realization, he was immediately traded to the Knicks.
New Jersey Nets
In New Jersey, Kidd joined fellow NBA superstar Keith Van Horn and ex-convict Kenyon Martin and in the first season propelled them to a franchise best 52 wins ( a 51 game improvement from the previous high). They even reached the NBA finals, but once there, Kidd and co. were swept by the Los Angles Rapers, led by Shaq "uille" O'Neal and Jordan wannabe Kobe Bryant.
The series, however, would have been a lot closer if Kidd didn't get wasted every night b4 the finals games. This was because he was so happy to get to the finals he just wanted to enjoy himself and take it all in. It wasn't until the series was over that he realized that winning the Eastern Conference was no accomplishment, since at the time, the East consisted of high school teams and the New Orleans Hornets.
Kidd vowed to never make the same mistake and the following year, Kidd's Nets made the NBA finals again. This time it was only to lose to Tim "Boring" Duncan's Spurs in six games. Even though he was more focused than ever, the Spurs played in such a boring manner, Kidd could not stay awake for all four quarters. This led to fourth quarter chokes, such as in game 6 when the Spurs went on a 19-0 run as an unconscious Kidd kept scoring in the wrong basket. As a Net, Kidd never repeated the same success despite the Nets trading for Julius Irving clone, Vince Carter. Being a devout Hindu, Kidd wanted his NBA career to be a full circle so he demanded a trade to Dallas where it began.
Dallas Again
Back in Dallas, both Kidd and current team captain Dirk Nowitzki were "fuckin' pissed" that they had been cock-blocked from winning the NBA finals. However, because of Kidd's micro-penis surgery, Kidd was no longer as good as before, and in the first three playoffs together, they were booted out ringless. After they were eliminated by Tim Duncan in the 2010 playoffs, Charles Barkley made a statement on TNT to make them feel better: "Listen, I never won a championship and I'm just fine. I mean ,I gained some weight and have a few gambling debts but all in all my legacy is still pretty tight. Right Kenny?!" (Following which was a tremendous awkward silence).
Seeing the horror that occurs when one doesn't win a championship, Kidd and Nowitzki worked three times harder to win the championship and the following season they finally reached the finals once again. What put them over the edge was that Nowitzki had finally mastered the difficult one legged fade away and Kidd, after centuries of practice, finally mastered the three pointer. With these new skills, Dallas was able dispose of the Miami Globetrotters, to the great joy of basketball fans in Dallas and Cleveland.
Finals MVP honors went to Brian Cardinal, but Kidd didn't give a shit. He won his championship and now he never has to worry about Barkley comparisons again.
As a multi-millionaire, Kidd wondered what to do with all his extra monies. If he were Lawtrell Spreweell or any other NBA player, he would have already lost it all in strippers' butt cracks. Wanting to use his extra money for a higher cause, he decided to become a philanthropist.Here's how it went down:
"Hey, I got an idea. My last name is Kidd right? So I should do something that helps children! HAHAHA get it?! LOL!"
"Yeah, that's great Jason. I have to go file a false domestic abuse claim now, so I'll be back at five."
The Kidd foundation
The Kidd foundation helps inner city kids by helping fund things they need, such as education and annual shopping sprees at Toys r' us. Every year, Kidd picks up children in his big white van and takes them to the toy store where they can get as many toys as they want. After this, they all go to his Never-never-land Ranch and "play".
The Kidd Adult foundation
This foundation was founded when an angry parent pointed out that it was "totally unfair" that kids got toys and the parent's didn't. So, since 2002, Kidd has funded another annual shopping spree, this time for adult toys at the Sex Toy shop on Route 22. Throughout the year, Kidd is occasionally seen there, "quality testing" the products.
Personal Life
Kidd spent most of his living promiscuously as he never took a day off from booty call duty. However, after the Jim Jackson incident, he decided to "settle" for a smoking hot model Joumona Kidd. It was a happy marriage until, Joumana gave birth to TJ Kidd whose watermelon sized head severely damaged her vagina. This turned her into a real bitch.
Thus, when Kidd innocently made an attempt to return to battery-ball, Joumana wouldn't have any of it and filed a domestic abuse claim. It became a big media circus, but Kidd was able to sweep it under the rug by putting dolla' bills up her ass, like the stripper ho she is. This only kept her quite for so long until she erupted once again. At this point, Kidd gave up and decided to only fuck men.
Kidd has three children that he admits to having, but estimates range from 53 to 1,345.

We have some exciting new additions to report, beginning with our new Regional Publications & Images database! This new database will allow users to browse and perform online keyword searches of historic newspapers, photographs, and other Kalamazoo Public Library holdings that were previously only available as hard copy or on microfilm.
For starters, the database includes freshly digitized issues of the Kalamazoo Daily Telegraph from the years between 1868 and 1885, plus issues of the (weekly) Kalamazoo Saturday Telegraph from 1893 to 1899. And more issues of the Telegraph are being digitized "as we speak." Additional publications (and eventually images) will be digitized and added to the database as resources allow.
Telegraph Building on South Street, c.1920
The Kalamazoo Telegraph was published under varying ownership between 1844 and 1916. Somewhat of a mirror to the staunchly Democratic Gazette, the Kalamazoo Telegraph reflected local happenings from a Republican perspective, which can be a boon for researchers. Many times, the two competing papers offered strikingly different accounts of local events; from politics to sports, entertainment, and most everything else in between. An event that appeared rather insignificant in the pages of the Gazette might have received in-depth coverage by the Telegraph, and of course vice versa.
Learn more about the Kalamazoo Telegraph in a newly written essay, which is part of the State History Award-winning "All About Kalamazoo History" section of KPL's website. And now, search issues of the historic Kalamazoo Telegraph newspaper in our new Regional Publications & Images database. Give it a try!
And as if that's not exciting enough, yet another project coming down the pike will be a newly digitized version of the Grand Army Memorial Record, a book "designed expressly for Grand Army posts throughout the national department of the Grand Army of the Republic for the purpose of securing and perpetuating the military history of every Grand Army comrade." Created in 1884, the book is a handwritten account of those who served in the Grand Army of the Republic, Department of Michigan, Orcutt Post No. 79 at Kalamazoo. Once digitized, this book should be a welcome addition for family genealogists and Civil War historians. Watch for it soon!

Secondary amenorrhea is when a woman who has been having normal menstrual cycles stops getting her periods for 6 months or longer.
Women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or in menopause are not considered to have secondary amenorrhea.
Amenorrhea - secondary; No periods - secondary; Absent periods - secondary; Absent menses - secondary; Absence of periods - secondary
Women who take birth control pills or who receive hormone shots such as Depo-Provera may not have any monthly bleeding. When they stop taking these hormones, their periods may not return for more than 6 months.
You are more likely to have amenorrhea if you:
Other causes include:
Also, procedures such as a dilation and curettage (D and C) can cause scar tissue to form. This tissue may cause a woman to stop menstruating. This is called Asherman syndrome. Scarring may also be caused by some severe pelvic infections.
In addition to having no menstrual periods, other symptoms can include:
If amenorrhea is caused by a pituitary tumor, there may be other symptoms related to the tumor, such as vision loss and headache.
A physical exam and pelvic exam must be done to check for pregnancy. A pregnancy test will be done.
Blood tests may be done to check hormone levels, including:
Other tests that may be performed include:
Treatment depends on the cause of amenorrhea. Normal monthly periods usually return after the condition is treated.
A lack of menstrual period due to obesity, vigorous exercise, or weight loss may respond to a change in exercise routine or weight control (gain or loss, as needed).
The outlook depends on the cause of amenorrhea. Many of the conditions that cause secondary amenorrhea will respond to treatment.
Make an appointment with your primary health care provider or women's health care provider if you have missed more than one period so that you can get diagnosed and treated, if needed.

The Longest Westminster Carillon
Whereas the existing Westminster Carillons consisting of four permutations of four pitches, Jaeger-LeCoultre's Grande Sonnerie strikes six different permutations at the full hour (and one, two and three at each quarter). The striking modes can be changed with the higher pusher at 4 o'clock. It sets the musical mechanism to "Grande Sonnerie", "Petite sonnerie" or "Silence". In the petite sonnerie mode, the timepiece strikes three permutations at the full hours with four Westminster Chimes, and switches to the silence mode after six hours of activation.

Royal Scandal: The Kate Middleton Nude Photos Are Here . . . And More Might Be Coming Today
The French magazine "Closer" went through with its promise and published those KATE MIDDLETON nudes on Friday.
--The blurry pics show Kate sunbathing topless during a French vacation with her husband PRINCE WILLIAM. William and Kate actually filed a LAWSUIT against "Closer" . . . which has since removed the photos from their website.
--They also issued a statement saying, quote, "Their royal highnesses have been hugely saddened to learn that a French publication and a photographer have invaded their privacy in such a grotesque and totally unjustifiable manner."
--However . . . an Italian magazine called "Chi", which is owned by the same company . . . is planning to publish somewhere between 50 and 200 MORE pictures in a 26-page spread today.
--Oh, and the publisher claims she has WORSE photos she DIDN'T use. She said, quote, "There are more intimate pictures that exist that we haven't published and will not publish. These images are full of joy, not degrading."
-William and Kate sued "Closer" for breach of privacy . . . and they may also sue the photographer who took the pics.
--These pics were not taken at some public resort, but on private property owned by Will's cousin. So it's not clear how a photographer was able to get close enough to take them.
Unfortunate Choice of Words of the Day: Kristen Stewart Loves What Her Latest Director Put Inside of Her
While promoting her new movie "On the Road", KRISTEN STEWART said something she probably wishes she could take back.
--She was praising her director, WALTER SALLES, and she said, quote, "HE PUTS SO MUCH INSIDE OF YOU."
--Obviously, that's a bad choice of words because Kristen's LAST director, RUPERT SANDERS, DID put something inside of her in the more literal sense. (--Well, maybe. We still don't know officially if they ever had sex.)
--Kristen went on to explain her point a little better . . . quote, "Once we got on set, it was so about just breathing and letting it happen. He put so much trust in us.
--"So it was like, 'OK, so I have to take my clothes off?' It's so not a big [deal]."
(--Saying that the guy made it easy for her to take her clothes off? Yet again, probably not the best choice of words.)
Are Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson Back Together?
The not-always-reliable British tabloids say that KRISTEN STEWART and ROBERT PATTINSON are back together.
--A so-called "source" says, quote, "They pretty much decided they couldn't live without each other. Kristen poured her heart out to Robert and told him it was a one-off and a mistake.
--"Rob sees it as Kristen made a really stupid mistake. After a lot of long tearful talks, they've worked it out."
--Supposedly, they're going to move back in together.
Mario Lopez's Fiancee Danced at His Bachelor Party
During MARIO LOPEZ'S bachelor party in Las Vegas over the weekend, his fiancée COURTNEY MAZZA surprised him by performing with the PUSSYCAT DOLLS.
--Mario has an interesting track record when it comes to bachelor parties. The last time he had one, he CHEATED. And his marriage to ALI LANDRY lasted a mere two weeks as a result.
Russell Brand Took a Homeless Guy Back to His House for Food and a Bath
RUSSELL BRAND was leaving yoga class in L.A. the other day when he saw a homeless man lying on the ground with no shirt on.
--So he stopped and gave the guy some water and a shirt. Then he took him with him in his car to get some food and a bath . . . and he apparently also took him to an AA meeting.
--A witness says, quote, "Russell noticed him there and was parked and out of the vehicle in no time to help. He asked the guy his name and what was wrong.
--"I heard him offer to take him for some food. Thomas said he wanted a burger, to which Russell replied, 'You don't want any of that crap, come to my house and you can have some proper food and a nice bath."
--Another witness told E! Online that he heard Russell say he was taking the guy with him to his AA meeting.
Justin Bieber Will NOT Star in "50 Shades of Grey"
I can't believe anyone would take this seriously, but apparently some people did . . .
--There's a rumor going around that JUSTIN BIEBER has been asked to star in the movie adaptation of "50 Shades of Grey". And it all started because Justin JOKED about it on a British talk show.
--He said, quote, "They actually want me to be in the movie!" But then he added, quote, "Just kidding."

Create an impressive melted crayon artwork
Simple crayons can make beautiful art - and not just by drawing with them! Line up some wax crayons, rainbow-style, blast them with a hairdryer and they'll melt into a colourful artwork that you can hang on the wall.
Number of players:
What you need:
- Wax crayons - enough to line the length of your canvas
- Artist's canvas - best to try small first before going too big
- Hot glue gun
- Hairdryer
- Drop sheet or old newspaper to catch any mess
1. Pick out the colors you want to use and line them up across the top of the canvas.
2. A rainbow colour pattern is made here. Of course you can try this with different color patterns instead of a rainbow.
3. Using a glue gun, squeeze a line of glue across the crayons.
4. Quickly place the crayons on the canvas in a line, as shown below, with tips facing down.
5. Line the floor with a piece of newspaper, place the canvas against a wall, and get your blow dryin' on.
6. You can start out on high and warm settings and alternate with low at certain points. You may have to experiment a little to see how your hair dryer works with melting the wax. It sometimes splatters a little, so be sure to cover the floor and surrounding wall with newspaper, and turn to a lower setting if needed.
Once the wax starts melting, move the dryer around as needed to prevent splattering and so the wax drips straight down. Voila! Now you have a fun piece of art to hang on your wall.

USS Horizon
Revision as of 05:01, August 4, 2013 by Pseudohuman (Talk | contribs)

this wiki
|USS Horizon
|United Federation of Planets
|Unknown (2160s)
The USS Horizon (NCC-176) was a Federation Daedalus-class starship that was in service with Starfleet in the mid-22nd century.
A model of this ship was on display in the school aboard Deep Space 9 in early 2369. (DS9: "The Nagus")
Benjamin Sisko kept a model of this vessel in his office aboard Deep Space 9. (DS9: "Progress" et al.)
Background information
- A study model was eventually built for the original Star Trek Chronology by Greg Jein and later put on a stand with a TNG-era communicator to be put in Sisko's office, where it can be seen in the background in numerous episodes, along with a model of the International Space Station, the Miranda-class USS Saratoga, and the Nebula-class USS Melbourne.
- It was also featured prominently in an article on the history of Federation starships in Star Trek: The Magazine, where it was featured as a CGI in Volume 3, Issue 9.
- According to the the reference books Star Trek Concordance, the Star Trek Encyclopedia, Star Trek Maps and The Worlds of the Federation and the current startrek.com article, this vessel was the starship that visited the planet Sigma Iotia II in 2168, as mentioned in TOS: "A Piece of the Action". In the episode, it was stated that the Horizon came "from the same outfit as" the USS Enterprise, but it was never specified if that "outfit" was Starfleet or the Federation, nor was the prefix USS ever stated.
In the novel Starfleet: Year One, Captain Alonis Cobaryn was mentioned as taking command of the Horizon in 2167. It was also mentioned in the Strange New Worlds VII short story "Test of Character."

From Edmunds.com
If you're looking for a new truck, know that you have more to consider than just bed size and horsepower rating. Depreciation can take the shine off your investment, and the best way to guard against this is to choose a pickup that's poised to hold its value.
With this in mind, we've put together a list of the 10 trucks likely to depreciate the least during ownership. We've indicated the percentage of its original value that each pickup is likely to retain after five years with an annual mileage of 15,000. Our residual value percentages are based on each vehicle's national True Market Value (TMV®) price, plus typical options and destination charge.

- The Print
- The Artist
Norman Rockwell (1894 – 1978), one of America's most beloved artists, left a timeless legacy of nostalgic, endearing, whimsical paintings that appealingly and insightfully depict simple, and often idyllic, scenes from daily life. After illustrating a series of children's books at age 16, Rockwell was hired to be the art director of "Boys' Life," the official publication of the Boy Scouts of America. Six years later, he sold his first cover to the most prestigious magazine of the era, the "Saturday Evening Post." Over the next 47 years, he created 321 covers for the "Post," which became synonymous with his name. He later worked for "Look" magazine, addressing more serious issues of civil rights, poverty and space exploration.

Oh gosh - what were we thinking? The fashion of the 1980s was questionable, to say the least. But nowadays, people throw 80s-themed parties and frequently dress up in 80s-themed outfits for Halloween events. While we don't want any of these trends to make a full comeback, we admit that it is quite fun to bring them back one night at a time. So temporarily immerse yourself in the fashion hiccup that was the 1980s, and check out our wonderfully-retro collection of 80s costumes and accessories.
80s Men's Video Super Star Costume
Inflatable Doll Costume for Men
Wild West Plus Size Men's Bartender Costume
Adult's Old School Rapper Costume
Deluxe Ghostbusters Girls' Costume
Mr. Energizer 90's Costume for Men
The 1980s will forever be remembered as a decade when everything was over the top. We experienced shifts in popular music thanks to artists such as Michael Jackson and Madonna, and we were introduced to Music Television (also known as MTV). With music videos becoming a more prominent part of the music industry, more fans were able to visualize the way artists were dressing. And if the rock star or the diva was wearing something, everybody else wanted to look like that. This even included the styles of hair metal bands such as Guns N' Roses, Bon Jovi, and Poison.
The fashion of the 1980s can only be described in one word: ridiculous. Female outfits usually consisted of bright neon colors and ripped sleeves or tights. Girls also colored their hair in unconventional styles, and everyone had a thing for metallic pants and shirts. Guys often dressed up like glam rockers, if not like the King of Pop. Toward the end of the decade, we saw the rise of hip hop music, and the style began to change drastically. Baggy clothes became popular and before we knew it, it was Hammertime.

The most important thing is to make sure the vehicle is certified, which means that the vehicle meets certain requirements, which are: · Odometer indicates the actual mileage of the vehicle · The vehicle was not purchased under state or federal warranty law (repurchased by the manufacturer or dealer) · The vehicle was not damaged by accident, fire, or flood unless repaired to safe operational condition prior to sale · The title was not branded as a Lemon Law Buyback, manufacturer repurchase, salvage, junk, non-repairable, flood, or similar designation · The vehicle does not have frame damage or was sold "as is" · The seller should provide the buyer with a complete inspection report of all components inspected You should be able to receive a copy of the inspection from the dealership stating that the vehicle is certified and meets the above requirements. As a car buyer you have a car buyer's bill of rights. To learn more about the car buyer's bill of rights, visit www.DMV.ca.gov. Q: Are there any online tests I can take that would assess my driving skills? I consider myself to be a pretty cautious driver, but I would still like to find out if there are ways I can develop better driving skills. A:Glad to know you are looking for ways to improve your driving. If you visit the DMV website www.DMV.ca.gov, you can find an online driver self-assessment test that will help you take an active role in making choices, manage your personal safety and the safety of others.

Izuna Uchiha (うちはイズナ, Uchiha Izuna) was a shinobi of the Uchiha clan. He along with his brother Madara Uchiha were renowned as the clan's two strongest members.
As a child growing up during the war-torn era, Izuna once accompanied his father on a mission to kill Hashirama Senju whom Madara — albeit unknowingly — had been meeting. Once there, Izuna and his father were confronted by Butsuma and Tobirama Senju, the latter of whom he acknowledged by name.[3]
As Izuna clashed with Tobirama, unbeknownst to him, Butsuma had launched an attack at him, hoping to strike him down and gain an advantage at defeating the evenly-matched Tajima. This attack, however, was deflected by his brother Madara who had intervened between the two sides along with Hashirama. Izuna later showed shock when Madara noted that Hashirama was stronger than he was, but was later elated to see that his brother had awakened his Sharingan.[4]
Years later as the battles between the two clans raged on, Izuna awakened his own Sharingan and became one of the first two Uchiha to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan. However, during one battle, Izuna was mortally wounded by Tobirama's technique. As Hashirama pleaded with Madara to come to peaceful terms, Izuna told his brother not to listen to their lies.[4]
When Madara later returned to the battlefield, he revealed that the injury inflicted on Izuna was fatal.[4] According to Obito Uchiha years later, the dying Izuna had given Madara his eyes so his brother could obtain the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan to protect their clan from its growing number of enemies and the Senju.[5] Because of the blindess caused by overuse of a Mangekyō Sharingan, Itachi Uchiha believed that Madara took Izuna's eyes by force to regain his sight.[6]
Izuna Uchiha was a harmonic and devoted person.[1] He also appeared to be very competitive with his brother, Madara, in terms of skill as they would often spar with one another in an attempt to hone these skills. Izuna looked up to Madara greatly and was even in disbelief when as children, Madara admitted to being weaker than Hashirama.[7] Likewise, Izuna was elated when Madara awakened his Sharingan shortly after.[8] As he grew older, Izuna's love for his clan grew and he fought fiercely to protect it. He soon came to share his clan's opinion regarding the Senju clan, even asking Madara, while severely wounded, not to fall for Hashirama's "false" truce proposals.[9] He looked up to his older brother and was so close to Madara that he even gave him his eyes as a dying gift as a means of ensuring that Madara will be able to better protect the clan's future.[10]
Izuna was a fair-skinned man with spiky, black hair that had a blue tint to it and was tied in a ponytail. His bangs parted down the centre of his face to frame both sides of it, He wore the standard Uchiha outfit which consisted of a high-collared, blue shirt with the Uchiha crest on his upper back and blue pants which were wrapped up in bandages at the ends. On his waist, he had a bandage belt that held a sack which presumably held ninja tools. As a child, his ponytail was absent, and his hair was spiky in the back, and he wore the standard high-collared robes worn by other Uchiha of the Era of the Warring States with the Uchiha crest on the back, with an armoured chest plate. He sported his hairstyle from his childhood again later in his life as an adult.
Izuna was noted to be equal to his elder brother, Madara, in every way. Both of them had exceptionally strong chakra, even for Uchiha members, and trained daily to hone their skills.[11] Izuna mastered his Sharingan at a very young age, alongside Madara. When Izuna awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, his eyes took the appearance of three bars stretching out of his pupil. When Madara took his eyes, the two Mangekyō combined.
He was also skilled in kenjutsu and was able to fight on par against a young Tobirama Senju.[4]
While posing as Madara, Obito Uchiha claimed that Izuna's death after giving Madara his eyes played a great role in Madara's antagonism towards the Senju clan when they proposed a truce. Madara would have thought Izuna's sacrifice to keep him strong and protect the clan as being in vain. Izuna's eyes continued to be of great importance, first, by granting Madara the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, and in his old age, Madara would also awaken the Rinnegan with Izuna's eyes. The same eyes were later transplanted into Nagato, who would later go on to become Pain, and a powerful figure-head of Akatsuki, and then into Obito Uchiha, who came to share Madara's ideals, and while posing as him, plunged the world into the Fourth Shinobi World War.
- Izuna (飯綱) is the name of a fox spirit in Japan and of a mountain. The latter is usually called Mount Iizuna, though. Iizuna, written with the same kanji, is also the Japanese name for the least weasel. Izuna's name can also be from a mythical god and wind spirit named Izuna that presents himself in the form of a tengu, which may be a reference to Susanoo's perfect form that resembles a tengu.
- Izuna and Obito share the same birthday, and blood type.
- According to the databook(s):
- Izuna's hobby was training with Madara.

This week is Week Three for Jessica Doyle on her Couch to 5K running program. So, why is she just finishing up Week Two of her program? Jessica got very sick a week and a half ago and she says that put a really big crimp in her plans.
What should you do with your running program if you get a cold? Some runners use the "Neck Rule" to decide. Symptoms affecting you below the neck, say you have a chest cold or body ache, then you take time off. Symptoms above the neck, runny nose, cough, you can still run. Here's the problem with the rule, a true sinus infection requiring antibiotics can escalate into pneumonia if you push yourself too much.
Jessica plans to start Week Three today. It looks like this:
- Five minute warm up.
- Two rounds of jogging for two minutes, walking for two minutes, jogging for three minutes and walking for two minutes.
You can find more tips on Jessica's new Blog on Tumblr, Couch to 5K with Jessica Doyle. Get off the couch and run with her!

I like your cost-analysis and savings measures here man. The truth really is that one-car family is achievable. We have just been blinded as a society by those cheap tricks that most dealerships and bank re-financing schemes present in our faces. But good job on your consistent stride. Keep it up! car hire ukReplyDelete
I, personally, don't believe that having only one car for the whole family is such a great idea. It brings a lot of stress especially if different family members has their own agenda for the day. There are several used cars in Salford which are sold for a good price. I think having at least two cars for a big family will be a huge benefit.ReplyDelete
It is useful blog for everyone and i have got many new ideas and information with this blog.Thanks for sharing wonderful information.

Media owners and journalists in the country have been advised to establish special programmes that would address moral decay in the society.
The call was made by media stakeholders who took part in celebrations to mark the World Press Freedom Day held at the regional level in Tanga City.
The stakeholders explained that moral decadence has been increasing and posed great danger to the nation, calling on media house owners to find ways of helping to address the problem.
One contributor, Dr Furaha Mramba, said the only way to fight against moral decadence was using the mass media to show the society the effects of the situation.
He also said that if media houses would set aside space to address the problem and write about it, it would definitely be reduced as society would be transformed positively.
Another participant, Ally Zumo advised the government to scrutinize news magazines that concentrate on publishing sexual related contents, as they only contributed to undermining moral standards among the youth.
Dororo Kisaka said the fact that the traditional method of educating the youth through folk tales told by elders by the fire side is no longer used, the media has taken the role and therefore, it must ensure that it helps in improving the social fabric rather than destroying it.
"The tales told by grand fathers and mothers, educated children and the youth on moral matters, building courage and how they could tackle problems. This role now is in the hands of journalists, we should all make sure that we promote objective journalism," said Kisaka.
However, the guest of honour, Deputy Minister for Gender and Children Development, Ummy Mwaimu, said the government valued the contribution of the media, and that it would ensure that the industry would face the challenges effectively.

Guilt is a cognitive or an emotional experience that occurs when a person realizes or believes - whether justified or not - that he or she has violated a moral standard and is responsible for that violation.[1] It is closely related to the concept of remorse.
Definitions of guilt
In psychology and ordinary language, guilt is an affective state in which one experiences conflict at having done something that one believes one should not have done (or conversely, having not done something one believes one should have done). It gives rise to a feeling that does not go away easily, driven by conscience. Sigmund Freud described this as the result of a struggle between the ego and the superego parental imprinting. Guilt and its causes, merits, and demerits are common themes in psychology and psychiatry. It is often associated with depression. The philosopher Martin Buber underlined the difference between the Freudian notion of guilt, based on internal conflicts, and existential guilt, based on actual harm done to others.[2]
Guilt is the fact, state, or verdict (by a court or other tribunal), of an offence, crime, violation, or wrong committed, especially against moral or penal law.
Causes of guilt
Some thinkers have theorized that guilt is used as a tool of social control. Since guilty people feel they are undeserving, they are less likely to assert their rights and prerogatives. Thus, those in power seek to cultivate a sense of guilt among the populace, in order to make them more tractable.[How to reference and link to summary or text]
Some evolutionary psychologists theorize that guilt and shame helped maintain beneficial relationships, such as reciprocal altruism.[3] If a person feels guilty when he harms another or even fails to reciprocate kindness, he is more likely not to harm others or become too selfish; in this way, he reduces the chances of retaliation by members of his tribe and thereby increases his survival prospects, and those of the tribe or group. As with any other emotion, guilt can be manipulated to control or influence others.
Another common notion is that guilt is assigned by social processes such as a jury trial, i.e. that it is a strictly legal concept. Thus the ruling of a jury that O.J. Simpson or Julius Rosenberg was "guilty" or "not guilty" is taken as an actual judgement by the whole society that they must act as if they were so. By corollary, the ruling that such a person is "not guilty" may not be so taken, due to the asymmetry in the assumption that one is assumed innocent until proven guilty and prefers to take the risk of freeing a guilty party over convicting innocents.
Still others -- often, but not always, theists of one type or another -- believe that the origin of guilt comes from violating universal principles of right and wrong. In most instances, people who believe this also acknowledge that, even though there is proper guilt from doing 'wrong' instead of doing 'right,' people endure all sorts of guilty feelings that don't stem from violating universal moral principles.
Collective guilt
|It has been suggested that this section be split into a new article. (Discuss)
- See also: Collective responsibility (doctrine)
Collective guilt, or guilt by association, is the controversial collectivist idea that a group of humans can bear guilt above and beyond the guilt of particular members, and hence an individual holds responsibility for what other members of his group have done, even if he himself hasn't done this. Advanced systems of criminal law accept the principle that guilt shall only be personal. This attitude is not usually shared by other systems of law. Assumption of collective responsibility is common for feud. Such systems tend to judge the guilt of persons by their associations, classifications or organizations, which often gives rise to racial, ethnic, social and religious prejudices.[4] Collective guilt is regarded by some as impossible because it seems to presuppose that collections of humans can have traits, such as intentions and knowledge, that strictly speaking are claimed to be truly possessed only by individuals.[How to reference and link to summary or text] The principle of collective guilt is totally denounced in libertarian social thinking. However, there are those who consider such judgements on collective guilt to be overly reductionistic and accept the existence of collective guilt, collective responsibility, etc.[How to reference and link to summary or text] Sometimes the idea of collective guilt can be a form of association fallacy. Humans seem to have a natural tendency to attribute collective guilt, usually with tragic results. History is filled with examples of a wronged man who tried to avenge himself, not on the person who has wronged him, but on other members of the wrong-doer's family, or ethnic group, or religion, or nation, or tribe, or army. Likewise collective punishment is often practiced in different settings, including schools (punishing a whole class for the actions of a single unknown pupil) and, more transcendentally, in situation of war, economic sanctions, etc, presupposing the existence of collective guilt.
The idea of collective guilt, however, became popular in Western World since the 1960s, as many historical injustices, including e.g. slavery in the United States, has been perceived by intelligentsia as faults of the society requiring retribution on behalf of those who had nothing to do with them (see e.g. Reparations for slavery and White guilt).[5][6][7][8]
Terrorism is commonly rationalized by its practitioners on ideas of collective guilt and responsibility.[9] Many nations have laws holding corporations, but not the individual decision-makers within them, responsible for certain kinds of acts. For example, in the United States corporations can be fined for violating pollution laws, but the individuals who actually ordered and directed the polluting activity may not themselves be regarded as having broken any laws, since they act as corporate officers on behalf of the shareholders. This is generally known as the "corporate veil".
Cultural views of guilt
Japanese society and Ancient Greek society are sometimes said to be "shame-based" rather than "guilt-based" in that the social consequences of "getting caught" are seen as more important than the individual feelings or experiences of the agent. This may lead to more of a focus on etiquette than ethics as understood in Western civilization. This has lead some in Western civilizations to question why the word ethos was adapted from Ancient Greek with such vast differences in cultural norms.
Christianity and Islam inherit most notions of guilt from Judaism, Ancient Persia and Roman ideas, mostly as interpreted through Augustine who adapted Plato's ideas to Christianity. The Latin word for guilt is culpa, a word sometimes seen in law literature, e.g. in mea culpa meaning "my fault (guilt)".
Dealing with guilt
Guilt can sometimes be remedied by punishment (a common action and advised or required in many legal and moral codes), by forgiveness (as in transformative justice), or by sincere remorse (as with confession in Catholicism or restorative justice). Guilt can also be remedied through cognition, the understanding that the source of the guilty feelings was illogical or irrelevant. Law does not usually accept the agent's self-punishment, but some ancient codes did so: in Athens the accused was permitted to propose his or her own remedy, which might in fact be a reward, while the accuser proposed another, and the jury chose between. This forced the accused to effectively bet on his support in the community - as Socrates did when he proposed "room and board in the town hall" as his fate. He lost, and drank hemlock, a poison, as advised by his accuser.
Lack of guilt
Psychopaths typically lack a sense of guilt or remorse for any harm they may have caused others, instead rationalizing the behavior, blaming someone else, or denying it altogether.[10] This is seen by psychologists as part of a lack of moral reasoning in comparison with the majority of humans, an inability to evaluate situations in a moral framework and an inability to develop emotional bonds with other people.[11]

Senior Executive starting again? Use the The Seven Step Process for Setting and Achieving Your Goals.
January 17, 2012 — FocalPoint Bus...
I think you'll like this post. If you are considering a new career you probably have questions on where to start. Perhaps you want to go into consulting or training. Or, just find something you really love to do.
I had to re-invent my career once ( at least once!). I left a position and had a few bucks in the bank so I wasn't all that stressed at the time.
I was with my wife in a really nice tourist area along the coast and saw these cool little water taxi's. I joked with her that I was going to get a job on one of them for the summer just so I could relax.
It would have been great, even just for the laughs. I didn't do it, but I still remember how badly I wanted to. In the end I got into what I do now, and I love it.
Here's the thought process I used. I learned this from Brian and put it into action…it works!
First, decide exactly what you want in each area of your life. Be specific!
Second, write it down, clearly and in detail.
Third, set a specific deadline. If it is a large goal, break it down into sub-deadlines and write them down in order.
Fourth, make a list of everything you can think of that you are going to have to do to achieve your goal. As you think of new items, add them to your list.
Fifth, organize the items on your list into a plan by placing them in the proper sequence and priority.
Sixth, take action immediately on the most important thing you can do on your plan. This is very important!
Seventh, do something every day that moves you toward the attainment of one or more of your important goals. Maintain the momentum!
Only by discovering your innate strengths...by developing them...exploiting them to their highest degree--can you ever fully realize the greatest amount of satisfaction and enjoyment in everything you do.
We use exactly this system here when we coach our clients. It works.
