Old Tunnel State Park
Things to Do
Nature Viewing
Visitors can enjoy hiking, bird-watching, and general wildlife-viewing on the Old Tunnel nature trail, which is less than one-half mile in length and open to the public 365 days a year. The trail opens at sunrise and closes at varying times throughout the year based on bat emergence time. Monday through Wednesday evenings, May through October, the trail and lower viewing area are not open to the public. On Thursday through Sunday evenings, the trail is open to those visitors 4 years of age and older who pay admission to view the bats at the lower viewing area. The trail is primitive and can be steep. Visitors should carry their own drinking water and snacks, as no water, food, or man-made shelter is available on the trail. No water fountains or other water is available on-site. No pets, or smoking, are allowed at this park.
Although entrance into the tunnel is prohibited, visitors are encouraged to enjoy the view of the tunnel from the trail. In order to minimize disturbance to the bat colony and for the safety of our visitors, all guests must stay on the designated trail. Under no conditions are visitors allowed to approach the tunnel.
Bat Emergence
The abandoned railroad tunnel that gives Old Tunnel its name is home to up to 3 million Mexican free-tailed bats (Tadarida brasilienses mexicana) and 3,000 cave myotis (Myotis velifer) bats from May through October. During those months, visitors come to watch the bats emerge from the tunnel each night. Bat-viewing opportunities are available seven nights a week, and nightly educational presentations are given Thursday through Sunday. Call (866) 978-2287 to get the latest emergence time information.
Learn about the Old Tunnel Bat Flights.
Ranger Programs
Several educational exhibits with information on bats and railroad history are located along the half-mile trail, and from May through October bats can sometimes be seen flying within the tunnel. The nightly educational programs provide guests with a better understanding of the life history and ecology of bats.
Educational Programs
Bat trunks are available for teachers, individuals or organizations to borrow. Education materials include classroom curricula for all age classes, amazing videos, and a slide presentation. Demonstration materials consist of a taxidermic bat, a bat detector, posters, and many other neat hands-on items. For reference, Bat Conservation International's Bat House Builder's Handbook, 'Bats in Question', and 'Facts on the Fly' are part of the trunks. For a list of trunks available in Texas please visit Bat Trunk Resources.
School and Organizational Presentations. If you would like for a biologist to visit your school or organization to give an educational presentation on bats of Texas and/or bats and the environment, please see the list of available presentations below and e-mail the park for more information and scheduling opportunities (Program dates and times are subject to biologist/volunteer availability).
- Presentation: Bats of Texas (Kids and Adults) - Open to all groups
- Bat Habitat and Limiting Factors - 6th Grade Science
- Bats and the Environment - 4th Grade
- Puppets and Bat Program- 1st and 2nd Grades, and Libraries

Kids will learn about bugs and the role they play in nature. The program will include costumed characters, a finger puppet show, preserved bug displays, reading a bug story, and some hands on activities like looking at bugs with magnifiers and microscopes and finally ending with a bug song/dance.
- Distance Learning Programs (via Skype):
- Introduction to Bats - Grades K through 6th
- Mammals of Texas - 5th and 6th Grades

From national best-selling author Sylvain Reynard comes the haunting, unforgettable tale of one man's salvation and one woman's sensual awakening....
Enigmatic and sexy, Professor Gabriel Emerson is a well-respected Dante specialist by day, but by night he devotes himself to an uninhibited life of pleasure. He uses his notorious good looks and sophisticated charm to gratify his every whim, but is secretly tortured by his dark past and consumed by the profound belief that he is beyond all hope of redemption.
When the sweet and innocent Julia Mitchell enrolls as his graduate student, his attraction and mysterious connection to her not only jeopardizes his career, but sends him on a journey in which his past and his present collide.
An intriguing and sinful exploration of seduction, forbidden love, and redemption, Gabriel's Inferno is a captivating and wildly passionate tale of one man's escape from his own personal hell as he tries to earn the impossible - forgiveness and love.
©2012 Sylvain Reynard (P)2012 Penguin Audio
I ignore genre labels. Some of my favorite books are outside my genre comfort zone. Listening to audiobooks is still reading. Not theater.
"Souls Too Tortured for My Taste"
I get angst. I get emotional conflict. I can even almost get that there are more than four people on earth under the age of 40 that are obsessed with Dante's Divine Comedy.
What I don't get is how a book can be written with such stilted, unnatural and totally unrealistic dialog. Nobody talks this way.
I also don't get how the reader is supposed to relate to such caricatures of real people. The hero's amoral past sounds awfully tame compared to the typical 20 something single guy. Certainly not a past that should cripple a man. And in spite of evidently being a sex and coke addict and a drunk he manages to get his doctorate degree and become a noted expert and sought after speaker on the subject of Dante.
And the heroine has so little backbone it is a wonder she is able to stand. She comes across as such a nonentity I don't know how anyone would ever even notice her enough to fall in love with her. If I were her friend I would constantly find myself slapping her and saying "Snap Out of It, for Christ's sake and grow some ..."
The Vermont farmboy/scholar who secretly loves the heroine from afar would be an even worse love interest than the hero. He is too good, too sympathetic, too understanding and too dull to pay any attention to.
And finally the premise is just plain silly. She goes to school in Toronto to see the man she has sworn to love forever and when he doesn't remember her she is either too shy or too stupid to remind him of who she is. Although the part about him not remembering her was totally believable. She isn't worth remembering.
This book is overflowing with unbelievable characters and premises that are so chock full of angst-ridden emotion and so sacchariny sweet my teeth hurt.
The only good thing I can say is the two main characters deserve each other. They can go off and bore each other silly for the rest of their lives, emoting endlessly yet saying nothing. I just wish they would put the rest of us out of their misery.
And I am really, really, really tired of all of this lower lip biting heroines seem to be doing lately. It is over done.
"Good story, worth the credit"
I enjoyed this book. Sometimes I grow impatient with timid characters like Julia. She cowered and trembled a few too many pages for my taste; but still, I remained in her corner throughout the story. Plenty of angst and tortured souls. If you're not a fan of heavy literature, some of the exchanges and references are a bit pretentious, but are necessary to reveal the inner workings of Gabriel's mind . These conversations reveal the musings of two brilliant but socially challenged individuals who have, thus far, lived very sad lives.
Anyone with a family will appreciate the imperfect and absolutely realistic characterizations of family relationships. There's a dad who can still give his adult children a scolding..and they still know they have to listen.
Be prepared..there is a sequel. This story comes to a conclusion..sort of. There are many loose threads remaining. A couple of the supporting characters were more engaging than the hero and heroine, in my opinion. All the ingredients for a series.
The performance was pleasant, although the sound of the narrator's voice and his speech patterns sound a lot like H.A.L. (2001 A Space Odyssey). Once it occurred to me who the narrator's voice resembled, it made me giggle and was somewhat distracting from time to time, but that's my problem, not the book's.
This may sound like a negative critique, but revealing my list of positives will give away too much. All in all, worth the credit, but I will likely read something a little sunnier before returning for the sequel. Something sans Dante.
I love being swept away by a new romance and thankfully Audible's ever growing Library means I get to indulge myself over and over again
When you prepare to dedicate over 20 hrs (or even 10 if you double speed it) of you life to listening to a book it is a bit daunting but the hours just flew by as I got drawn into the sweet and torturous love story between Gabriel and Julia. The story is completely set around their budding and blossoming romance but somehow it isn't boring and, due to the brilliant writing, it totally works.
Worth a credit? I couldn't stop listening - so that's a definite YES and I'm now downloading Book 2 Gabriel's Rapture.
"Not Nearly as Naughty as I was hoping"
More kissy than kinky. Let's face it, I read a lot of smut, and the naughtier the better. This, in my mind, does not really qualify as erotic. The story was okay, the characters a little too whiney and broken for me, and the sex was...well....fankly... a little boring.
If 50 shades was too risque for you, then this will be right up your alley.
There is the threat of a D/s scene, but it never really happens, you know, because her love fixes him. ( sorry, I just threw up in my mouth a little bit). If you like your smut charcter driven (and I do occassionally assuming I like the characters) it's not too bad.
The narration was good, audio quality good.
Tell us about yourself!
"Brilliant writing and story"
Perfect mix of pure fun and truly thought provoking, A masterpiece!
I thoroughly enjoyed listening .My only minor complaint it is ,when the narrator continues to read a supplementary information placed in parenthesis ,to emphasize the actions or a situations, instead of interpreting them.I would like this to be fixed if it is possible .
Say something about yourself!
"So NOT a follow up for the 50 fan club!"
While searching for something to follow 50 shades, but written better, I saw several references to this book and its sequel…so NOT what I thought it would be. I will admit that the story was theoretically sweet, with more mature references to fine art and adult romance, but the story seemed to go on forever, and was totally unbelievable in spots with characters going against their core nature for no specific reason other than it continued the plot. I was looking for the hotness I got in fifty shades, and got hours upon hours of BORING drab. I listened to this book and its sequel, not wanting to be one of those people that rated a book without listening to it fully, and I found both to be VERY lacking. If you want a follow up to 50 try "Bared to You" by Sylvia Day, "Beautiful Disaster" by Jamie McGuire, "Thoughtless" by SC Stephens and Olivia Cunnings "Sinners on Tour", don't get these books.
I'm a grad student with very little time to edit reviews because I'm editing research papers. Forgive the typos. They're made with love.
"A lesson on The Divine Comedy - A Romance"
Spineless, shy, flower of a grad student meets brutish poet-obsessed teacher and Dante ensues.
I'm not sure what to write for this. I liked it, and it probably seems more naughty to me because I'm a grad student and what they are doing can get them in SO much trouble, but the characters were a little annoying. Julianne is NOT a graduate student. There's no way a girl like this could be taken seriously in a program. She squeaks when spoken to and practically faints if she thinks of anything too stressful. And Gabriel, as yummy as he could have been, is so wrapped up in one moment in his past that was clearly out of control that he has become an absolute bully to everyone and when you find out what it is, it's a bit of a let down. Not to diminish one man's torment over another but with all the buildup, I guess I expected something different.
This book was more a lesson in Dante than anything else, and I'm honestly wondering why it's being compared to Fifty Shades of Grey... it's nothing like it. And before you click, you should know this isn't erotica, and the romance is barely there (unless you're a grad student, then it's just teeming).
I don't mind shy heroines. My friend is about as introverted as you can get, but she's not spineless - she actually fits in the PhD world, if barely. Julianne however is waaaaayyy too wilting flower, even for a degree in Dante. I just have a problem with her that I can't let go.
I was not left with the feeling of "meh" on this one and went ahead and got the next two, but I can say there's something in this book that keeps me from giving it 5 stars. 3.5 stars
"Not worth the time, or the credit."
Oh, so many things... I found the heroine exasperating and unconvincing (gods of romance, please, please let her grow a spine). The character of the antihero unfortunately garnered neither depth nor dimension from his prenchant for whores or evident foot fetish. The narration was flat, uninspired, and quite painfully s-l-o-w. Frequently pubescent and demeaning imagery, particularly with reference to the heroine (alternately likenened to either a "little kitten" or rabbit) was the final straw.
Most probably.
Why would Mr. Morgan choose to s-l-o-w down a project which he so obviously did not enjoy? Listening was nearly painful. I did try "2X"ing the speed, but it wasn't enough to get me through even half of the book.
Irritation and disappointment, I wanted it to be so much more than it actually was.
Save your credit.
"A must listen book"
Just great could not put in down - Great characters, great strory. A Must read-listen!
"A great book!"
Amazing love story.
Gabriel. A tragic life style with the hope of redemption.
A beautiful voice! I loved listening to him.
Redemption through love.
I love this book and also finished the second one. Can't wait for the thrid.

Zambrano's No-Hitter!
- Sunday September 14th – Miller Park
- Game (147): Cubs 5 – Astros 0
- Record (89-58) – 1st place NL Central
The skinny: 110 pitches, 73 for strikes, NO HITS!!!
Great day for Zambrano. Great day for Cubs fans!
From the seventh inning on, I paced back and forth in front of the television like a caged lion, waiting on edge for Z's next pitch.
Theriot waiting for the long-hop off Castillo's grounder about did me in, I'm talking down on hands and knees!
But at long last, Erstad swings and misses and the Cubs' have its first no-hitter in 36 years!!!
Props to Carlos for keeping it together mentally. If only this would last…
The talent, of course, has always been there. Mentally, not so much. If only…
Anyway, loved WGN playing Van Halen's "On Top of the World" as the Cubs celebrated.
[youtube="http://www.youtube.com/v/lAoL7kAdYxE&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lAoL7kAdYxE&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>]
The Cubs needed something special from its ace with the pressure of the division race building. Eight innings of three runs or less would've got the job done. So we can only hope a no-hitter adds a little extra steam to the playoff push.
Remember, September has been tough on the Cubs, no Harden, no Zambrano, and a nine-game losing streak.
Meanwhile, it seems the only team playing worse than Chicago is Milwaukee, thankfully.
What a day to be a Brewers fan.
The Crew drops four straight at Philly, falls into a tie for the Wild Card, and watches the hated Cubs celebrates a no-hitter on their home field.
So, how about that Aaron Rodgers guy?
W – Zambrano (14-5)
L – Wolf (10-12)
- Notes: Zambrano's Line: 9 IP, 0-R, 0-H & 10 Ks.
- Carlos retired the final 13 batters he faced.
- Michael Bourne drew the only walk against Carlos in the fourth with one out: the next batter, Miguel Tejada, grounded into a double play.
- In the fifth Zambrano plunked Hunter Pence with two outs, David Newhan followed by lining out to D. Lee ending the inning.
- Carlos also went 1-for-3 with a single in the third inning; he later scored on Lee's double to right.
- Soriano's lead off homerun is his 28th this season and the 49th leadoff bomb of his career.

City announces GoodNight lineup for New Year's Eve
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- About 30 musicians and bands will perform throughout Charleston during the city's annual New Year's Eve celebration, GoodNight.
This will be the 18th year for the party.
"It provides for families a wonderful evening [to spend] together and [enjoy] great entertainment," said GoodNight Chairwoman Alice Anne Robertson. "All the musicians are the best of the best of our area, and they donate their time and their talents to provide this wonderful evening."
The alcohol-free event will start at 6 p.m. Dec. 31. at various venues throughout the city. Each of the performances last about 45 minutes.
The event will feature performances by the B-Ties Dixieland Band, the Martin Luther King Jr. Male Chorus, the Appalachian Children's Chorus, the Shin Strings and many others.
Robertson said the event offers something for everyone.
"A lot of the places have standing room only," she said. "There's such a huge variety available -- all different kinds of music, and dance with the River City Youth Ballet Ensemble."
This is Robertson's second year as chairwoman of the event, after the previous organizers stepped down, Deputy Mayor Rod Blackstone said. The transition has been seamless, he said.
"Eighteen years of a community celebration that's family-friendly and alcohol-free," Blackstone said. "[It's] a really fun way to kick off New Year's Eve for people of all ages in Charleston."
Trolleys provided by the city of Charleston will make a loop of the GoodNight locations beginning at 6 p.m. Parking for the event will be free in the Virginia Street garage next to City Hall.

"The long wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have sparked renewed debate about foreign policy within both political parties. William Kristol recently said that while Republicans generally agree on domestic policy, the real debate would be on foreign policy. Likewise, in the Democratic party, the more hawkish Clinton wing of the party continues its clash with the more dovish McGovernite wing.

Antihistamines for Morning Sickness
Topic Overview
Certain antihistamines such as dimenhydrinate or doxylamine, taken as your doctor advises, may relieve morning sickness.1 Doxylamine (Unisom SleepTabs) is available over-the-counter. If one of these antihistamines alone does not relieve your morning sickness, you can try taking it with vitamin B6.2 Talk to your doctor about the right dose.
Note: Do not confuse Unisom SleepTabs with Unisom SleepGels, which contain a different medicine.
A prescription medicine that combines doxylamine and vitamin B6 in one medicine (called Diclegis) is also available to treat morning sickness.
Common side effects of these medicines may include:
- Drowsiness.
- Dry mouth, nose, or throat.
- Stomach upset.

- Title
- Damp mergers : recent gaseous mergers without significant globular cluster formation?
- Author(s)
- Forbes, Duncan A.; Proctor, Robert N.; Strader, Jay; Brodie, Jean P.
- Abstract
- Here we test the idea that new globular clusters (GCs) are formed in the same gaseous ('wet') mergers or interactions that give rise to the young stellar populations seen in the central regions of many early-type galaxies. We compare mean GC colors with the age of the central galaxy starburst. The red GC subpopulation reveals remarkably constant mean colors independent of galaxy age. A scenario in which the red GC subpopulation is a combination of old and new GCs (formed in the same event as the central galaxy starburst) cannot be ruled out, although this would require an age-metallicity relation for the newly formed GCs that is steeper than the Galactic relation. However, the data are also well described by a scenario in which most red GCs are old, and few, if any, are formed in recent gaseous mergers. This is consistent with the old ages inferred from some spectroscopic studies of GCs in external systems. The event that induced the central galaxy starburst may have therefore involved insufficient gas mass for significant GC formation. We term such gas-poor events 'damp' mergers.

"Long live the Empire"
- - Kor's last words (DS9: "Once More Unto the Breach")
Kor, son of Rynar, the last son of the House of Kor and descendant of the Klingon Imperial Family, was among the most influential warriors and respected military leaders of the Klingon Empire during the late 23rd and early 24th centuries.
Kor was descended from Klingons affected with the augment virus created in 2154, a product of 22nd century Klingon genetic engineering. By the 24th century he was cosmetically indistinguishable from an average Klingon. It is unclear if he was ever subject to the physical and mental weakening effects of the virus. (ENT: "Divergence"; DS9: "Blood Oath"; TOS: "Errand of Mercy")
Throughout his illustrious career, Kor played key roles in many legendary battles against the Federation and Romulan Empire. Kor's influence in the Empire would elevate him to the status of Klingon Dahar Master. (DS9: "Blood Oath")
Military career
Much of Kor's early career is unknown; however, by the 2260s he had achieved the rank of commander and was assigned to a Klingon warship. (TOS: "Errand of Mercy")
Conflicts with the Federation
In 2267, following the breakdown of peace talks between the Federation and the Klingon Empire, the first Federation-Klingon War broke out. The neutral planet of Organia, a strategic position between the two powers, became a political hotspot between the Empire and the Federation.
On stardate 3102.7, Commander Kor led a battalion of five hundred Klingon soldiers in an invasion and occupation of Organia, where he briefly became their military governor. As governor, Kor ruthlessly maintained order on the planet, ruling with an iron fist by maintaining a stringent list of rules, any violation of which was punishable by death. Unknown to Kor at the time, Captain Kirk posing as an Organian and Lieutenant Commander Spock, posing as a dealer in kevas and trillium, were among the subjugated. The two Starfleet officers mounted vain guerrilla attacks against Kor and his army. Meanwhile, in orbit around Organia, the Klingon and Federation fleets faced each other in battle.
Once the hostilities between the two began to reach its climax, all ships suddenly and mysteriously became paralyzed and all weapons became superheated and temporarily rendered useless. Unknown to both sides at the time, the Organians were in fact an advanced non-corporeal species, despite their primitive way of life. As quickly as it started, the Organians effectively ended the occupation, the war, and Kor's governorship. (TOS: "Errand of Mercy") The Organians would continue to promote peace between the two powers by imposing the Organian Peace Treaty. (TOS: "The Trouble with Tribbles")
Within two years, Kor became the commanding officer of the IKS Klothos. In 2269, Kor again faced his enemy, Captain Kirk, in battle when the Klothos engaged the USS Enterprise in the Delta Triangle region. During the battle, the two ships became entangled in a "time trap", a phenomenon unique to that region, pulling the ships into an alternate universe known as Elysia.
Kor attempted to escape but the Klothos was unable to break free from the region, partly due to its unusual properties, including draining dilithium crystals of their energy. Through cooperation, the crews of the Enterprise and Klothos were able to formulate a strategy by combining their warp power in an effort to overcome both ships' individual power deficiencies.
Prior to their attempt, however, Kor had one of his officers, Kali, plant a bomb-like device in the computer room of the Enterprise, set to explode once the starship cleared the phenomenon and reached warp eight. Both ships were able to escape the region, and the destruction of the Enterprise was averted moments before the ship reached warp eight. Nevertheless, Kor claimed responsibility for formulating their combined escape and would return to Klingon space no worse for the wear. (TAS: "The Time Trap")
Kor's ship, the Klothos, was one of the first Klingon vessels equipped with a cloaking device. Kor is said to have spent three days in the engine room taking it apart and studying it before their first mission. This proved critical when he later commanded one of the two Klingon divisions aboard the Klothos, along with Kang, in an attack against the Federation outpost at Caleb IV. During the attack, Kor successfully tricked his opponent by launching first a small initial attack, and then striking with the bulk of his forces when the Federation began repair efforts. (DS9: "Once More Unto the Breach")
Conflicts with the Romulan Empire
In 2271, Kor led the Klingon Empire to a glorious victory over the Romulans, at the legendary Battle of Klach D'Kel Brakt. (DS9: "Blood Oath")
Worf once recalled one of the stories he heard as a child, about Kor that described his "attack on Romulus." (DS9: "The Sword of Kahless")
Later Career
Kor, with fellow warriors, Koloth and Kang held the Korma Pass against T'nag's army in a glorious battle in a trinary star system, where they forced the enemy to fight with the blinding light of three suns in their eyes. The battle ended with the mountainside covered with so many dead that there was not a square meter of ground to be seen. They together feasted on T'nag's heart in celebration of their victory. (DS9: "The Sword of Kahless", "Once More Unto the Breach")
Kor and Curzon Dax, the Federation ambassador to Qo'noS, became close friends in 2289. In one of their escapades, Kor and Dax broke into the Duke's harem on Renavi. In 2370, when Kor and Jadzia Dax, Curzon's successor, were reunited, Dax knew Kor well enough to recall that he had a scorcher burn on his fourteenth rib, and that his left QiVon ached every time his ship hit warp eight. (DS9: "Once More Unto the Breach", "Blood Oath")
During the late 2280s, a band of depredators, led by the Albino, began raiding Klingon colonies. Three Klingon warships, led by Kor, Koloth and Kang, were sent out to stop him. Their mission was successful, as they captured most of the depredators, however, the Albino was able to escape. In the Albino's last message to the Klingons, he promised to take his revenge on the firstborn of each of the three captains. Within the space of a few years, he kept his word and managed to infect the warrior's three innocent children with a genetic virus that eventually killed them all. (DS9: "Blood Oath")
The Reckoning
In 2290, Kor, Kang, Koloth and Curzon Dax pledged a blood oath to avenge the deaths of their sons, the offense committed by the Albino. They nearly caught him at Galdonterre, but one of their subspace messages was intercepted and he, once again, was able to escape.
After decades of searching, Kang learned of the whereabouts of the Albino, in 2370, on the planet Secarus IV. Kang traveled to Secarus IV and discovered his compound. The Albino knew immediately of his arrival and invited the trio to a "fair fight" and one last glorious battle. Kang contacted both Kor and Koloth for a rendezvous on Deep Space 9 in preparation of their final attempt to complete their lifelong quest.
Three months later, Kor, Koloth, and Kang, with the aid of Jadzia Dax, prepared their attack on the Albino's compound, only to discover that it was a trap. Using the element of surprise, they bombarded the compound with tetryon particles, forcing the Albino and his sentries into face-to-face, hand-to-hand combat. Koloth was fatally wounded fighting the Albino's personal guard. Following a fierce duel, Kang was able to slay the Albino (held at bay by Dax) before he died as well. Having fulfilled their blood oath, both Kang and Koloth died glorious and honorable deaths. (DS9: "Blood Oath")
Political career
Kor was a member of the Oversight Council for the Klingon Defense Forces when (future General) Martok attempted to join in 2345. Kor was responsible for striking Martok's name from the officers' list because his family was from the lowlands of Ketha Province, and due to his influence Martok was barred from even enlisting as a common soldier. Martok remained bitter about this incident for nearly thirty years. (DS9: "Once More Unto the Breach")
In the early 2370s, Kor was serving as the Klingon ambassador to Vulcan. In 2371, a Vulcan expedition found the Shroud of the Sword (of Kahless) among the remains of a Hur'q outpost in the Gamma Quadrant. Using his influence as ambassador, Kor was able to acquire the Shroud from the Vulcans.
Kor, however, had a penchant for drinking and for telling stories. On one drunken occasion in a tavern on Torna IV, Kor held a group spellbound with the story of the ancient cloth and how it was going to lead him to the Sword of Kahless. One member of his audience, Toral, son of Duras, was so intrigued he sent a Lethean, named Soto, after Kor aboard Deep Space 9 to steal his memories of the discovery.
In early 2372, Kor, with the assistance of Starfleet officers Lieutenant Commander Dax and Lieutenant Commander Worf, launched a quest to find the legendary Sword of Kahless in the Gamma Quadrant, using the data collected by the Vulcans. While unknown to them at the time, they were being trailed by Toral, who intended to steal the Sword and use it to lead the Empire.
Following the successful discovery of the Sword, the enormous symbolism of it became a matter of contention between Worf and Kor. After realizing that the Sword would only serve to further divide the Klingon Empire, rather than reunite it (as the legends foretold), they set the Sword adrift in interstellar space. (DS9: "The Sword of Kahless")
Lost influence
In 2375, Kor, having long been out of favor with Chancellor Gowron and the High Council, and unable to secure his own command, used his remaining influence to persuade Worf to re-commission him into the Klingon Defense Forces. With Worf's assistance, Kor was commissioned to serve as the third officer aboard the IKS Ch'Tang during their daring cavalry raid into Dominion-held space.
Unfortunately, during this time, Kor was suffering from frequent lapses in memory and concentration, often losing track of where and when he was. At a critical moment, when both Worf and Martok were incapacitated on the bridge while engaging the Cardassian base on Trelka V, Kor suffered such a lapse. Kor believed himself to be once again engaging the Federation outpost at Caleb IV, at the side of his long dead friend, Kang. As a result of his lapse, the Ch'Tang was nearly destroyed, and the captain and first officer of their sister ship, the IKS Orantho, were killed. They were able to escape the system only to discover that they were being pursued by a fleet of Jem'Hadar fighters.
It was through the experience and bravery of Kor, and six volunteers, that the IKS Ning'tao was able to successfully engage the Jem'Hadar fleet. Realizing that the Jem'Hadar would soon overtake them, Worf had suggested using the Ning'tao to force the enemy out of warp and engage the fleet, intending to lead the attack himself - but before he could beam to the doomed ship, Kor, secretly informed by Martok's assistant, Darok, stunned him with a hypospray and took command himself. He was subsequently able to save the crews of the remaining Klingon ships, sacrificing himself to allow them the time they needed to reach the Starfleet reinforcements located in the Kalandra sector. As a salute to the fallen Dahar Master, General Martok toasted Kor, noting that he was "a noble warrior to the end". (DS9: "Once More Unto the Breach")
Personal Views
Kor was from a generation of Klingons not known for standing on ceremony, eating when hungry and fighting when angry. Kor had a somewhat more progressive view when it came to interactions with other species and genders. Having seen the Trill ambassador Curzon Dax as a brother he saw no difference calling Jadzia Dax a sister when it was time to fulfill their blood oath. (DS9: "Blood Oath") Kor displayed a calm demeanor when interviewing James T. Kirk on Organia, admitting he held a great admiration for the Captain and 23rd century Starfleet, recognizing many similarities between Humans and Klingons, seeing the killer instinct within humanity and likening he and the Captain to tigers. (TOS: "Errand of Mercy") Kor, however felt that the Klingon social order was important, that nobility was something that Klingons in the early 24th century still held with esteem and would enforce the status quo of Klingon society by striking the name of common applicants from officer candidate lists. (DS9: "Once More Unto the Breach")
Background information
Kor was played by John Colicos. The character Kor in Star Trek: The Animated Series was voiced by James Doohan. Kor was to have appeared in "Day of the Dove", but John Colicos was not available.
In Marc Okrand's tlhIngan Hol language, Kor's name is qor. (The Klingon Dictionary 2nd ed., p. 58)
Kor appears captaining the IKS Klothos in Star Trek: Nero, leading the capture of Nero and the Narada following its collision with the USS Kelvin in 2233. This retcon of Kor in the alternate reality lacks the augment virus.
His mirror universe counterpart appeared in the novel The Sorrows of Empire.

Virgin America Wows with Newly Released Sustainability PrinciplesWritten by Alterra Hetzel
The idea behind Virgin America is to "build a new kind of airline from the guest up," and that includes flying in the face of conventional ideas about sustainability. Founded just four years ago in 2007, Virgin America is growing fast and keeping a focus on their environmental impact the whole way. In their recently released sustainability report, Virgin America details green measures taken as well as the principles that guide future environmental decisions. These "Sustainability Principles" include a commitment to transparency, leadership in carbon efficiency, investment in sustainable growth (things like LEED-certified buildings and terminals) and collaboration with industry groups and partners like Carbonfund.org. So what did the report find? The Virgin America fleet is 25% more fuel efficient than the U.S. average and, for their second year of operations, will continue to lead the nation in carbon efficiency with a .7% reductions in GHG emission despite the overall growth in its fleet and operations over the year. Virgin America recycles on 39% of their flights and has committed to increasing aluminum recycling to 50% by January 2011 and to 75% by 2012. In 2011, they are also pursuing Gold or higher LEED certification for the Virgin section of a new San Francisco terminal – a first for a major airport terminal in the U.S. In addition, through their partnership with Carbonfund.org Virgin offers guests the ability to offset their in-flight travel with the touch-screen entertainment platform. This is a new, innovate way to engage customers in sustainable travel while they're actually flying. Virgin also annually offsets their corporate headquarters' emissions. One of the projects that Virgin supports is the Truck Stop Electrification project, which reduces tailpipe emissions from some of the heaviest emitters of all: the 18-wheelers that transport our consumer goods all over the country. The project installs a small device in trucker cabins that eliminates the need to keep the engine running for power during rest stops. The technology in this device allows truckers to heat and power the interior of their truck, run the radio and check email without forcing the engine to burn diesel, saving a gallon of diesel per hour of operation.

CHEVY CHASE, Md (WUSA) -- If you're a breast cancer survivor, finding a flattering bathing suit can be a challenge. But designer Minoo Mobin-Ventura has designed a swimsuit line that makes survivors feel comfortable and glamorous.
Next to professional model Oksana, Michele DeMay might not use the term hot to describe herself. But in the swimsuit department at SAKS in Chevy Chase, Maryland, this photographer and breast cancer survivor knows she looks good and she feels good.
"Now I don't have to be so uncomfortable," Michele DeMay told us.
But a suit that is both comfortable and sexy or glamorous can be hard to find for women who've had cancer surgery.
Minoo Mobin-Ventura said, "The prints are very matronly looking. They look like mom and pop kind of swimsuits. They weren't fashion forward and they weren't made very well."
But not swimwear with the Belafigura label of designer Minoo Mobin-Ventura.
Michele shared, "I love it I love the comfortable fit the coverage of it. Your body has been through a lot when you fight something like this and you are conscious of people around you especially when you go down in a bathing suit. It is awesome to be able to wear something where you can lose that."
This is the reaction Minoo loves to here. The Belafigura collection flatters every woman, but the custom designs specifically address the needs of women who've had mastectomies or other cancer surgeries and may need more coverage.
"I would take one of my real fashion forward pieces and just allow it to adjust for a breast cancer survivor. So I have taken the neck lines for instances. I have raised them up higher and I have inserted prosthetic inserts," Minoo said.
After her own kidney cancer surgery, Minoo understands this type of woman all too well.
She realized she had a scar and couldn't wear a bikini so she thought she couldn't be the only one going through something like that.
That was 5-years ago and when she stopped working for someone else and decided to pursue her own fashion dreams.
Now her dream makes a dream possible for other women.
Minoo said "It is all about how they want to look and what they want to show and reveal that is pretty much what I have done, but I want these girls to say I can look good I feel good and comfortable."
Belafigura swimsuits are also sold at the Stretch-A-Licious Boutique in Potomac, Maryland.

ST. LOUIS (KSDK) - The Missouri Department of Transportation has moved work planned on Interstate 64 to from next week Friday night and Saturday.
The work will be done on the inside lanes of I-64 between Sarah and Kingshighway this weekend because temperatures are expected to be too cold to do the work when originally planned.
The left lane of I-64 will be closed in both directions at 7 p.m. Friday.
The ramp from Vandeventer to westbound I-64 will also be closed for safety reasons.
All lanes should be reopen by 6 p.m. Saturday.
This work is in preparation for the removal of the Taylor and Newstead bridges the weekend of January 25-28. Once the bridges are removed, the three through lanes in each direction between Sarah and Kingshighway will be narrowed and shifted.
These closures are part of an $18 million project.

The Met Gala 2012 Wrap-up
Eric Ryan/Getty
Anna Wintour presides over this event. Its official name is the Costume Institute Gala. So, as I say every year, this is NOT the Academy. There is no constituency here from Palm Springs to fellate. The people you want to blow are the precious fashion bitches. In other words, the style assessment has a slightly different standard. Full Story
The Costume Institute Gala 2011
Before we begin blogging the Met Gala and the photos... It's the Met Gala. So... there's some license here on the edge if you want it. Drama is good. Weird could be good too. Remember it's not the Oscars and Los Angeles. It's New York. And these are Fashion People. And they get it. Full Story
Anna like Mimi?
As you know, Mariah Carey is barely capable of walking and standing up by herself. If she could, she would go through life being carried everywhere. On several occasions she's made this happen. One of my favourite stories of all time is when Mimi was attending some kind of party in her honour in England and made the car circle several times until there were enough people waiting for her arrival and upon arrival, seeing a large staircase, pouting for a security man to lift her up in his arms as she smiled and made baby faces all the way to the top.

Icy conditions, freezing rain and dropping temperatures on Friday caused several fender-benders on the main highway between Southern and Central California.
Stormy weather moving through the region has brought heavy snow to the mountains and damaging lightning strikes.
A lightning strike late Friday morning in Riverside County started a small fire on the roof of an Applebee's restaurant in the Eastvale area.
Elsewhere, a possible lightning strike on an electrical substation knocked out power to about 29,000 Southern California Edison customers in Huntington Park and surrounding cities.
