On a mission to rescue Chakotay's son from Maje Culluh, Voyager is captured by the Kazon-Nistrim in a sneak attack, the crew taken hostage, and Paris is believed to be dead. (Season Finale)
Lieutenant Tuvok visits Lon Suder in his quarters to find that the confined sociopath has created a new hybrid species of orchid. He wants to name it the Tuvok orchid in honor of the assistance the Vulcan has given him. He also has a plan to develop the airponics vegetable garden, which Tuvok promises to mention to Captain Kathryn Janeway. As the two of them begin Suder's therapy session, the bridge receives a hail from an unmanned Kazon buoy. It is Seska, a former member of Commander Chakotay's Maquis crew who turned out to be a spy. She says that she has borne Chakotay's son, which infuriated Maje Culluh of the Kazon-Nistrim, and the boy is in danger of becoming a slave. She begs Chakotay to help her.
Troubled by the message and unsure of what to do, Chakotay talks privately with Janeway. Although they both know that Seska is capable of conceiving such a plan to lure Voyager into a Kazon trap, Seska claimed previously that she impregnated herself with Chakotay's DNA and the baby in the message looked part Human. Janeway assures Chakotay that the crew is behind him if he wants to mount a rescue mission but he goes to his quarters to consider it. There he experiences a vision quest and sees his father, who reminds him of how the white men raped women from their tribe and the people embraced the children as their own. His father gently insists the boy is a part of Chakotay and is therefore his responsibility.
Janeway holds a meeting of the senior staff, where they come up with several ways to fight off a Kazon attack in the event of a trap. Neelix suggests requesting help from a Talaxian colony on Prema II, although they will be out of communications range by the time they reach Kazon space, while Ensign Harry Kim comes up with an echo-displacement method to make it seem like they have reinforcements. The Doctor has a more extreme idea: using the holoemitters to create literal holographic starships. Kim and Lt. B'Elanna Torres are skeptical, but they think it might work.
Voyager follows the warp trail leading away from the buoy and finds a lone Kazon shuttle, the life support system of which has been destroyed. Inside is Tierna, one of Seska's aides, who claims Seska is dead and that he would be, too, had he not bribed one of the guards who was ordered to execute him. Chakotay remains suspicious, even though the evidence seems to corroborate Tierna's story and the Kazon appears reluctant to help them return to Kazon-Nistrim space. However, when Tierna, under duress, gives them the command code for the Kazon defense net, allowing them to see the location of the Kazon ships they need to avoid, even Chakotay seems convinced.
The only problem with their route is that the area is inhabited by Kazon factions loyal to no one, who will attack anyone. Voyager is impervious to the first such attack, so as they pass out of contact range with the Talaxian colony, Janeway meets with Suder to talk about his proposal. She seems optimistic and promises to discuss it with Kes, but to Suder's dismay does not agree immediately. He reminds her that he only wants to do something for the ship.
- "Captain's log, supplemental. None of the four Kazon attacks have caused serious damage, but the starboard ventral has been hit each time, complicating repairs on the secondary command processors."
Tierna claims he does not know what the motive could be, so Janeway orders the ship to turn back. Just as Voyager reverses course, eight Kazon attack cruisers head toward them. There appears to be an obvious escape left open to them, so rather than evasive maneuvers, Janeway opts to charge at the lead ship while implementing Kim's deflector trick. It works, diverting half of the ships away from Voyager, and they manage to destroy at least one Kazon ship with the added diversion from The Doctor's holographic ships. A humorous accident during the implementation of his idea accidentally projects him into space for a moment, making him very indignant towards Torres.
Meanwhile, alone in his quarters, Tierna takes off his entire toenail (apparently artificial) to reveal some kind of needle. Sticking himself with it, he gets a pained look on his face as his body expands exponentially. He explodes, blowing a hole in Suder's wall, rupturing a plasma conduit and damaging several of Voyager's systems in the process. As the holographic ships disappear and the crew desperately attempts to get Voyager functional, the Kazon ships concentrate their firepower on it and close in. Lt. jg Tom Paris offers to take a shuttle to head back and ask the Talaxians for help. Janeway agrees, however the shuttle is immediately fired upon and Voyager quickly loses contact with him. The Kazon begin to board the ship through its cargo bay, at which point Janeway realizes the futility of the situation and activates the auto-destruct sequence. However, the sequence fails to initiate; it cannot do so without the secondary command processors.
The Kazon-Nistrim board Voyager and fight their way to the bridge, killing two bridge personnel, and Janeway quickly realizes that there is no use in resisting and orders her officers to hold their fire. She demands to speak with Maje Cullah, who gladly enters – accompanied by Seska and her child. Under the impression that Chakotay raped Seska, Culluh has decided to raise the boy as his own. Seska and the Kazon round up the crew and take them to an empty cargo bay, however The Doctor deactivates himself and sets himself to reactivate in twelve hours before he's discovered and Suder is missed when a Kazon soldier checks his damaged quarters. The rest of the crew are held until Voyager reaches an M-class planet, where the Starfleet officers are unloaded and stripped of their combadges. The Kazon note that two crew members (Paris and Suder) and a shuttle are missing, however Cullah claims that the shuttle was destroyed when it tried to leave the area (although Seska demands he confirm the destruction in case).
"A fitting end for a people who would not share their technology," Culluh gloats as he holds Janeway's combadge in his hand. "Let's see if you manage to survive...without it." The Doctor reactivates and Suder hides in a Jefferies tube As Voyager takes off, staffed by Culluh's officers, Janeway and the crew are abandoned on a barren, volcanically active planet without their technology, shelter or any means of sustenance...

Background Information
Title, story, and script
- With this episode, departing executive producer Michael Piller wanted to provide the series with a second season coda that would incite the excitement of his acclaimed TNG Season 3 cliffhanger "The Best of Both Worlds". (Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages)
- In coming up with the story, there was some question as to whom the alien enemy would be, but it was Michael Piller who promoted the idea of featuring the Kazon, influenced by their use in previous episodes in the season. "When we were going in," Piller recalled, "there was a real question of whether it was going to be a new alien group who steals the ship or the Kazon. I was the one who really drove the unit toward the Kazon, because I felt we had built up this arc with them and it was a natural conclusion. The issue of [Seska's] baby was still unresolved, and I just felt it was a natural way to go." (Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages) Executive story editor Kenneth Biller commented, "Michael liked the story, liked putting us on a planet, and he felt we had to play out the Kazon arc." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 28, No. 4/5, p. 107)
- The final draft of the episode's script was submitted on 23 February 1996. [1]
- According to Star Trek Monthly, the episode's title reflects the stranding of USS Voyager's crew on a primitive planet without their technology, forcing them to go "back to basics" in order to survive. According to Michael Piller, however, the title was also a message to the Star Trek franchise and to the writers who, unlike him, were remaining to work on the series. "The last thing I wrote for Voyager was 'Basics'," he recalled, "and it wasn't by chance that it was named, 'Basics'. And it wasn't by chance that it was about some fundamental issues confronting this Starfleet crew, because it was my message to the franchise to say... the key for success, the way to make this show work, the way to make this franchise fresh, is to stay with the basics that [Gene] Roddenberry set forth to us to begin with, to do the stories that have themes, to always ask, 'What is it about?' [....] That's what Roddenberry taught me and that was my last message to the staff of Voyager." (Braving the Unknown: Season Two, VOY Season 2 DVD special features) Piller also said of the name, "The title of the cliff-hanger I wrote, my final episode for the show, is 'Basics.' The title was not chosen casually. Basics. It's my last will and testament." (Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages)
- Michael Piller was very proud of the theme that is introduced at this episode's conclusion. "'Basics' was a show about this very high-tech crew suddenly stripped of all of their technology, their ship taken away and sent to this prehistoric planet. What do you do if you don't have your toys? What a great theme." (Braving the Unknown: Season Two, VOY Season 2 DVD special features)
- Despite enjoying the making of this episode's two-parter, director Winrich Kolbe found this installment's plot to be slightly problematic. He explained, "I liked both of those shows a lot. My only problem with them was that, plotwise, why are we going after a baby if we're running out of fuel and everybody wants to get home? It was a not-quite-well-thought-out device to get us on a planet." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #15)
- Winrich Kolbe was pleased with the selection of guest stars for this episode's two-parter, such as Seska actress Martha Hackett and Suder actor Brad Dourif. "We [...] had good guest stars in those shows," Kolbe noted, "with Martha and Brad Dourif." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #15)
- Robert Picardo was impressed by the acting of Brad Dourif herein. "He was very good in [...] 'Basics, Part I'," Picardo opined. (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #10)
- Robert Picardo also considered the scene in which his character of The Doctor is inadvertently projected into the battle as a typical but amusing moment for his character. "It's pretty funny," Picardo remarked. "I get humiliated well, I think, which is why they like to do this to me. They like to shrink me down [as happens in both "Parallax" and "Persistence of Vision"] and stuff like that. They think it's fun when the character gets out of sorts." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 28, No. 4/5, p. 96)
- Janeway actress Kate Mulgrew criticized this episode's story, feeling that – compared to how the episode turned out – it should have been more action-oriented and the Voyager crew should have been portrayed as more cautious. "'Basics, Part I' should have been bup-bup, bup-bup, bup-bup, bup-bup," Mulgrew said, imitating a fast heartbeat. "We should have known what was happening. We're Starfleet officers. There should have been more control on our part, especially from the captain's point of view." Tuvok actor Tim Russ added, "We had to do some changes on the set to make that work as well as it did." (Starlog, issue #231, p. 49)
- Filming the Kazon's takeover of Voyager's bridge turned out to be a humorous experience. Culluh actor Anthony De Longis later commented, "It's a confined space to begin with, but with 10 people huddled together in the middle plus all us Kazons you needed an Arthur Murray dance lesson to maneuver through the scene." A particular moment that some of the cast found funny was during filming of the scene wherein Culluh smacks Janeway. "I remember us standing on the set," De Longis recalled, "and [Kate Mulgrew] jokingly saying, 'I bet Anthony has been waiting months for this.'" De Longis had made a sarcastically criticizing comment to Mulgrew during production of "Alliances". "So we both got a good chuckle when she came out with the remark about me slapping her," De Longis concluded. (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #18)
- The scenes involving the primitive planet were shot on location in Alabama Hills near Lone Pine, California. (Red Alert: Amazing Visual Effects, VOY Season 2 DVD special features)
- The sequence wherein The Doctor momentarily appears in outer space was extensively planned prior to filming. Visual effects producer Dan Curry explained, "That sequence was very carefully storyboarded, so that we knew exactly what shots we needed and it also allowed us to budget accurately what we had to do." (Red Alert: Visual Effects Season 2, VOY Season 2 DVD special features)
- The same sequence involved Robert Picardo performing aerial feats. Dan Curry stated, "To get The Doctor in space, we shot him on a hanging rig, which is... something that looks like football pants with little pins at the hips, at your center of gravity, so you can balance well. So we shot Bob [Picardo] against a blue screen and then composited him into the space scene. We shot him wide enough that we could move him around." (Red Alert: Visual Effects Season 2, VOY Season 2 DVD special features) Robert Picardo ultimately felt uncomfortable about his performance in the sequence but his two young daughters were delighted to watch the footage. "They got a kick out of that," Picardo said. "They actually saw me shoot that in front of a blue screen. That I personally consider my most embarrassing moment, acting-wise, on the show thus far. I would say that's the most over-the-top I've been, so I learned a big lesson that day. If they put me up, hang me in a harness again, I'll ask to watch the playback." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 29, No. 6/7, p. 92)
- Tierna's removal of his own toenail was actually a slimy special effect. "For the Kazon suicide bomber," Dan Curry recalled, "the prop department made a prop toenail that he was able to remove with a little dab of the same Methocel on that I think fast food companies use to thicken milkshakes. So it had this disgusting slime when he pulled the toenail off." (Red Alert: Visual Effects Season 2, VOY Season 2 DVD special features)
- On the other hand, the sequence in which Tierna detonates his internal bomb required visual effects. "As he went up and expanded," Curry said, "we shot him against blue screen so we could have him isolated from the background, and then used some of the built-in effects capabilities in the compositing box and were able to make it look like he was expanding and about to explode." (Red Alert: Visual Effects Season 2, VOY Season 2 DVD special features)
- Landscape shots of the primitive planet were modified by adding active volcanoes in the distance. "In a lot of the wide shots," Dan Curry remarked, "we wanted to add volcanoes, so I would paint the volcanoes on a Paintbox system, by hand. And then we used... sometimes real lava, but sometimes baking soda tapped up through a piece of black velvet, to make the kind of spurting magma look. And just tinted that to make it look hot and scary." (Red Alert: Amazing Visual Effects, VOY Season 2 DVD special features)
- Each of the episode's close-ups of the Voyager landing sequence were evidently reused from "The 37's".
- Prior to filming scenes involving the landed Voyager, Dan Curry and visual effects supervisor Ronald B. Moore visited the location and used a rope to measure out the size of Voyager, in order to physically see how big the ship would be. Moore recalled, "So we got this rope and we measured out, so we knew how big Voyager is. And, uh..." He chuckled, before continuing, "It was just Dan and I, and we had a teamster that had taken us out there. So, we just told the guy, 'Just take the end of this rope and head out that direction, you know? We'll tell you when to stop.' This guy's taking off and we're just feeding out the rope and this rope is the length of Voyager." Laughing wholeheartedly, Moore further recalled, "And we're looking and we can't even see the teamster at the other end!" Returning to a serious demeanor, he added, "We'd just keep feeding out the rope and we're like, 'Wow!' It was big." (Red Alert: Amazing Visual Effects, VOY Season 2 DVD special features) Additionally, Moore reflected, "From one end of that rope, you could barely see the guy on the other end. It really defined just how big the ship is. It gave us some kind of idea with landmarks of where the ship sat." This measuring process actually informed the visual effects team that, in the second season premiere "The 37's", they had made Voyager smaller than it would be in reality. (Cinefantastique, Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 110)
- The visual effects crew not only had to create the illusion of the landed Voyager but also design its departure from the primitive planet. Dan Curry recalled, "The other thing we had to do was have the Voyager fly over people, and so we would do things to cast shadows on [the actors and ground] and, in those shots, Voyager was CG." (Red Alert: Amazing Visual Effects, VOY Season 2 DVD special features)
Reception and aftermath
- So that this episode would not clash with a certain issue of Marvel Comics' run of Star Trek: Voyager comics, Paramount Pictures requested that the Kazon not attempt to take over Voyager in that story. Writer Laurie S. Sutton recalled, "I wanted the Kazon to be [taking over Voyager], but Paramount told me it would conflict with what was going to happen on the season finale. I guess I was on the right track! A minor adjustment had to be made at the last minute in my story. I had to change it to the Trabe." A similar incident later occurred with the third season installment "Flashback". (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #9)
- Shortly before the second part of this episode's duology first aired, Chakotay actor Robert Beltran enthused, "I don't think anyone will be disappointed by 'Basics'. It's got a great cliffhanger and it resolves the subplot concerning Chakotay and Seska's baby. I think everyone will enjoy it." (Star Trek Monthly issue 20)
- This episode achieved a Nielsen rating of 4.9 million homes, and an 8% share. It was the joint third least watched episode of Voyager's second season (on first airing), along with "Investigations" (which had the exact same viewing figures as this installment). [2] Furthermore, the episode failed to appear in a contemporaneous fan poll of the top five episodes of the second season, a poll that executive producer Jeri Taylor paid particular attention to. (Star Trek: Communicator issue #108, p. 18)
- Following the episode's initial airing, however, Jeri Taylor cited this as being, in her opinion, one of the best episodes of Voyager's first two seasons. She further commented, "'Basics, Part I,' rivaled only the pilot in terms of being a crackling action-adventure show." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #10)
- Ken Biller also thought highly of the episode, especially its visuals. "I thought it looked terrific," he enthused. "It was a slam-bang action story and certainly one of the best-directed episodes of Voyager." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 28, No. 4/5, p. 107)
- Cinefantastique rated this episode 3 out of 4 stars. (Cinefantastique, Vol. 28, No. 4/5, p. 107)
- Star Trek Monthly scored this episode 4 out of 5 stars, defined as "Trill-powered viewing". (Star Trek Monthly issue 21, p. 57)
- The unauthorized reference book Delta Quadrant (p. 126) gives this installment a rating of 6.5 out of 10.
- A currently ongoing, widespread Internet fan poll ranks this episode as the third most popular installment of Voyager's second season. [3]
- There were rumors that, following this episode, the crew would spend either the rest of the next season or a good part of it struggling to survive on the surface of Hanon IV. (Beyond the Final Frontier, p. 295) In fact, there was some consideration to this or a similar idea. "We discussed the idea of having us on a planet for a number of episodes," Ken Biller said at the time. "That has not been ruled out, but it's not happening now." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 28, No. 4/5, p. 107)
- This episode and the following one constitute the first two-parter in Star Trek: Voyager.
- This is the second episode of Voyager to feature the series' title ship landing on the surface of a planet. Other occasions in which the starship Voyager can be seen landing on a planet include the Season 2 premiere "The 37's", the fourth season's "Demon", the Season 6 episode "Dragon's Teeth", and Season 7's "Nightingale".
- This is also the second of three episodes in which the character of Lon Suder appears, having been introduced in the earlier second season episode "Meld" and reappearing in "Basics, Part II". He is also referenced in the fifth season installment "Counterpoint". Although a Vulcan mind meld that he and Tuvok engage in during "Meld" is referred to only in the past tense here, actor Brad Dourif suspected that, in this episode, Suder is anxious of the meld's personality-changing effects wearing off. Dourif mused, "In 'Basics, Part I,' Suder's really beginning to develop a third personality, which is more tenuous, child-like, and it's probably harder for him to maintain. In that situation, I think he's also running on a lot of fear. He feels that the techniques of mind control and Vulcan meditation aren't going to work any longer because the mind-meld is wearing off. Suder has to learn to do this, to control his emotions, quickly, so that he can really be a different person. That's his dilemma, and we got more into it in 'Basics, Part II'." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #9)
- Ken Biller thought this episode's plot bore too much of a resemblance to previous Kazon episodes, such as his earlier second season installment "Maneuvers". "I have to agree that it was another instance of us getting outsmarted by the Kazon. Here are these semi-primitive aliens who seem to be smarter than us at every turn. That was a discussion and a concern [....] I did the first one of those episodes, 'Maneuvers', and thought the first time was fun seeing Seska using our stuff against us and outsmart us. To have it happen again was a bit frustrating." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 28, No. 4/5, p. 107)
- B'Elanna Torres is skeptical about The Doctor's suggestion for Voyager projecting holographic ships to fool the Kazon despite the fact that she did project holographic ships into space while in the Maquis as a diversion, mentioned in VOY: "Prototype".
- The Doctor's program now includes an automatic reactivation feature called, "Medical Holographic Recall." The Doctor is able to set the time to be off, and opts to be reactivated again in twelve hours in this episode. When reactivated, The Doctor is in the same position as he was when he initiated the recall feature. This feature is never seen again.
- The Doctor is now capable of faking his own deactivation. This feature may or may not be part of the "Medical Holographic Recall" reactivation feature.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Topic Overview
What is generalized anxiety disorder?
Generalized anxiety disorder occurs when you feel worried and stressed about many everyday events and activities. Often the things you are worried about are small or not important. This type of worry disrupts your life most days. Everyone gets worried or anxious sometimes. But people with generalized anxiety disorder experience more than normal everyday worries.
Many people who have generalized anxiety disorder have physical symptoms, such as headaches or being tired all the time.
Anyone can get generalized anxiety disorder at any age. But it usually starts when you are a child or teenager. Most people with generalized anxiety disorder have felt nervous or anxious as long as they can remember. Women are twice as likely as men to have the problem.
Many people with generalized anxiety disorder also have other problems such as depression, other anxiety illnesses (obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, or social anxiety disorder), alcohol abuse, or personality disorder.
What causes generalized anxiety disorder?
The cause of generalized anxiety disorder is not known. Some studies show that it might be passed through the family (genetic).
Some problems such as hyperthyroidism can cause generalized anxiety symptoms.
Some medicines can cause worry and stress or make your stress worse, such as medicines with amphetamines (Ritalin) or too much caffeine. Illegal drugs such as cocaine can also cause these symptoms. Be sure to talk with your doctor about any medicines you are taking.
What are the symptoms?
People who have generalized anxiety disorder get worried and stressed about many things almost every day. They have a hard time controlling their worry. Adults with this problem often worry about money, family, health, or work. Children with this problem often worry about how well they can do an activity, such as school or sports.
You might also have physical symptoms, such as:
- Feeling tired or irritable, or having a hard time concentrating.
- Having headaches or muscle aches.
- Having a hard time swallowing.
- Feeling shaky, sweating, or having hot flashes.
- Feeling lightheaded, sick to your stomach, or out of breath.
- Having to go to the bathroom often.
- Feeling like you can't relax, or being startled easily.
- Having problems falling or staying asleep.
How is generalized anxiety disorder diagnosed?
To find out if you have this problem, your doctor will ask questions about your symptoms and how long you have had them. Your doctor will also do a physical exam, ask questions about your medical history, and ask questions about medicines you are taking. This information helps your doctor find out whether you have any other condition.
To be diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder, you must have more worry and stress than normal. You must feel worried and stressed about many things almost every day. And these feelings must last for at least 6 months. You will also have some physical symptoms. The worry, stress, and physical symptoms might make it hard for you to do normal activities such as going to work every day or doing grocery shopping.
If you think you may have an anxiety disorder, fill out a form(What is a PDF document?) to check your symptoms.
How is it treated?
Generalized anxiety disorder is treated with medicines and/or therapy.
The two kinds of therapy that are used to treat generalized anxiety disorder are called applied relaxation therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy. In applied relaxation therapy, your therapist might ask you to imagine a calming situation to help you relax. In cognitive-behavioral therapy, your therapist will help you learn how to recognize and replace thoughts that make you feel stressed and worried.
Some of the medicines that are used to treat generalized anxiety disorder are:
- Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as fluoxetine and sertraline, and serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), such as duloxetine and venlafaxine. These are the most common medicine types to treat generalized anxiety disorder. These medicines usually take several weeks to a few months to work well.
- Benzodiazepines, such as alprazolam or diazepam.
- Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), such as imipramine.
- Buspirone, which is often used with other medicines to treat generalized anxiety disorder.
- Trifluoperazine, an antipsychotic medicine.
Some medicines work better for some people than for others. Be sure to talk with your doctor about how the medicine is working for you. Sometimes you might need to try more than one type of medicine before you find one that works best for you.
Taking medicines for anxiety during pregnancy may increase the risk of birth defects. If you are pregnant, or thinking of becoming pregnant, talk to your doctor. You may need to keep taking the medicine if your anxiety is severe. But your doctor can help you weigh the risks of treatment against the risk of harm to your pregnancy.
Treatment for generalized anxiety disorder helps reduce the symptoms. Some people might feel less worried and stressed after a couple months of treatment. And some people might not feel better until after a year or more.
Unfortunately, many people don't seek treatment for anxiety disorders. You may not seek treatment because you think the symptoms are not bad enough or that you can work things out on your own. But getting treatment is important.
If you need help deciding whether to see your doctor, see some reasons why people don't get help and read about how to overcome them.

I don't get how you guys say, sp drain and return don't work together in a logical sense. Return cards can be looked at as a sp drain tactic. However i do see how you guys say the deck doesn't have much synergy.
The reason why, i use annarose simulacrum is because i do not have frog and even though doesn't engage it makes it were one unit of opponent can not attack. So you kind of have to realize that i am having to have to use random units because of my limited card pool.

Yo Gabba Gabba! Ultimate Party Pack for 8
There are very few one year olds that haven't heard the crazy theme song on Nick Jr for Yo Gabba Gabba. Most parents of one year olds can even tell you who DJ Lance is. This is one of the teaching shows on Nick Jr where odd little creatures and DJ in funny clothes teach lessons about not being afraid, how to be friends and making sure you eat your vegetables. This makes Yo Gabba Gabba a wonderful first birthday party theme if you want to entertain your little one and other kids at the party.
It may seem odd to you to go through so much trouble for a birthday party that your child isn't even going to remember. I thought so too… before I became a mother. Now I can tell you that it was one of the most stressful birthday parties I have thrown. You want to make a lasting impression not only on your one year old… but on all the people that come to celebrate with you and your little one as the get ready to enter toddlerhood.
When planning your Yo Gabba Gabba party you need to think about who you are inviting. This will be one of the few parties that your child can't tell you who to invite and who not to invite. They don't really have friends yet, so the guest list is basically going to be friends and family… and the little ones of those friends and family members. Don't worry… you may be stressed over having other children at the party. Careful planning will help control any chaos that may take place.
Let's talk about the planning. Chaos can happen with a lot of people in one place, regardless of their age. The first way to head off any issues is with food. For a first birthday party that is Yo Gabba Gabba themed, you want to include a vegetable tray loaded with finger food sized vegetables such as baby carrots, celery, cherry tomatoes, maybe even fresh green beans and other veggies. Cheese trays, lunch meat, small sandwiches, mini pizzas, hot dogs, mini burgers and other similar foods are also good ideas.
Then there is the cake. You have a couple of options here, you can get a sheet cake decorated with Yo Gabba Gabba characters, you can get a cake in the shape of one of the characters or brightly frosted cupcakes that match the characters on the show. Bright green, pink, yellow, red or blue are all inviting colors to get your little one to stick his or her fingers into their first cake.
One thing you can't forget if you are throwing a Yo Gabba Gabba themed first birthday party is music. You can play music and do funny little dances; a personal favorite of mine is "Hold still….Wiggle, Wiggle, Wiggle". There are traditional games you can play as well such as Pass the Bubble.
If you want to get adults involved you can purchase a few disposable cameras and hand them out to guests and have them take pictures during the party. Guests will get some shots that you won't be able to get. This will give you and your little one something to look back at and enjoy.

[Adobe IBC 2103] [Simon Walker] Well the state of the industry. It's probably down to my experience and what I think of it. I consider myself a final cut traitor because for years I was working with Apple products, and then I—I've seen the light obviously, but joking aside, I find that—so these days I'm a Premiere Pro trainer, and most of the people I'm training are moving into Premiere Pro and After Effects workflows, and they're finding it so much easier because they don't have to do this transcode thing. They don't have to change all their formats to a particular type of file. They can just shoot stuff and then edit it and add effects and do all this nondestructive workflow. So the advantage of that is that the editors are blurring their disciplines I think, and that they're becoming more than just editors. In my opinion they're becoming graders and they're becoming— they have the ability to do all these other skills that they typically would have to farm off and wait for, so they'll be able to take control more of their projects and just because of the way that the software all links together.

Iowa State: Anyone who's a true college basketball fan needs to see a game at Hilton Coliseum. Nice is in the DNA of Iowans and the fans here are particularly gracious -- even when the home team loses but gives a great effort, they are appreciative.
ESPN.com picked Hilton Coliseum as the "Hot Arena" in the Big 12...coaches in the league noted that, "regardless of talent, the Cyclones have a home court like no other."
The KU women's team even has a Morris?!?
KU is hot early, our ladies need to pick up the defense!!

In the midst of the worst drought in decades, the Pentagon is considering increasing its meat purchases to take advantage of lower prices and help struggling ranchers.
Under orders from President Barack Obama, the Defense Department may buy more beef, pork and lamb to fill its chow halls around the world.
America's service members already devour 94 million pounds of beef, 64 million pounds of pork and 500,000 pounds of lamb each year.
The worst drought in decades is devastating the midsection of the U.S., drying up pastures, and slashing expected corn and soybean production. As feed costs spike and grazing lands die out, ranchers are selling more livestock, driving the prices down for now.

One crit that I would have to make however is that the rock ruble on the floor could do some work. the cracks in the floor are showing through in some places, and it seems to be going over the walls. the fact that the river is on top of it makes the whole thing seem confusing.
keep it up though, its looking good.

A massive recall is underway this morning for something that could make your baby sick; Fisher-Price is recalling about 800,000 infant sleepers.
Mold could build up under the seat cushion and potentially make your baby sick. Fisher-Price has had 600 reports of mold, and of 16 babies getting sick after sleeping near that mold.
Mold can develop between the cushion and the hard plastic frame if it gets wet or isn't cleaned often enough.

Q: What server hardware works?
A: For now XO-1.5 (i386), XO-1.75 (ARM) or larger/conventional i386 or ARM servers or almost any kind, if it runs Fedora 17. Later XO-4, x86-64 and other architectures will be supported when/if hardware is found to spin basic RPMs. More detail @ Install Recipe.
Q: What "large disks" are recommended when installing on XO-1.5 or XO-1.75?
A: XO-1.5 and XO-1.75 work with many SD cards up to 32GB. For much larger storage, consider a 2.5-inch hard disk connected by USB, ensuring it uses less than 2.5W / 500 mA (USB spec). Larger 3.5-inch hard disks generally consume too much power. Discuss your specific desires/recommendations/results on mailing list! Of course, hard disks are far more prone to drop damage as compared to SD cards -- take precautions physically securing your hard disk whenever possible. As of Nov 19 2012, partitioning of external disks (SD, USB memory sticks, USB hard drives) is being fine-tuned; this should be working [soon!]
Q: Tim Moody & Jerry Vonau (similar to Sameer Verma) ask what XO services are genuinely used or needed:
Activation Server?
Presence/Chat Server?
Activity Server?
Moodle Content?
Moodle User Management?
DHCP/Name Server/Routing?
Content Filtering?
xs-rsync? (used by olpc-update)
Squid or other proxy?
What do XOs do when there is no server?
Use Cases
In addition the scenarios listed in Sridhar's Design Doc, and Release Priorities for Early 2013 here are 7 interesting use cases proposed by Tony Anderson:
1. Configure the XS server to handle internet access via a GSM (mobile) network. In much of the developing world, cell phone networks outreach wifi.
2. How to configure the XS server to control XO access to the internet (e.g for the next hour only the 4th grade class) to make effective use of the available bandwidth.
3. In an expensive GSM environment, how to configure the school server to access the internet for updates periodically, e.g. fetch and send email, access rss feeds of news in the local language, get updates from a central server).
4. Configure the server to support an attached printer and to make this printer accessible (under control for paper and ink usage). The current print model in Linux requires each client (XO) to have the print driver installed. The main cost of a printer is the expendables (paper and ink), so schools will have to limit student ability to print.
5. Configure the server to provide email (pop3 and smtp). Make this work in a 'dial-up' internet environment (i.e. internet access is not continuous but intermittent).
6. Currently I am using Django to provide access to a digital library stored on the school server. Pathagar has a similar approach. OLE Nepal is using Fedora Commons and Fez.
7. The school server can be configured with Mediawiki to enable access to Wiki4Schools. There is an alternative based on Kiwix and Wiki4Schools using the Zim format. This has the advantage of providing a search interface. Note: I normally get to Wikipedia via a Google search. The school server does not support such an engine. Incidentally, the school server wiki slice is much larger than that offered by the Wiki Sugar activities and does not tie up space in the XO local store.
DRAFT Install Recipe for XO-1.5 (i386), XO-1.75 (ARM) and larger servers.
Other Fedora 17+ platforms later. Prefab USB images for offline install should also later be provided, for XO-1.5 and XO-1.75. XO-1 is NOT supported as memory/disk are insufficient.

Educational/Life Goals
Throughout the SSS experience, program participants will be assisted in setting educational and life goals and will understand the importance of completing an education in order to achieve those goals. Planning for the next step is vitally important and is helpful in staying motivated to finish a degree.
If you are planning to graduate from VSCC and transfer to a four-year institution, there are Advisor/Counselors available in the Advising Center to help you plan your transfer. Also, the SSS staff is willing to assist you in any way in order to make your transfer to another institution smooth. During each spring semester the Office of Admissions sponsors a Transfer Day activity. Area and regional colleges and universities come to the VSCC main campus to speak with interested students and to hand out information about the respective schools. Also, several representatives from surrounding colleges and universities are available at different times each semester in the Advising to speak with interested students.
Job Placement
Choosing a major that increases the likelihood of job placement after graduation is an important decision for students. Not only is this an important decision if you are graduating from VSCC and going straight to work in your chosen career field but it is also important if you are transferring to a four-year institution. During the time you are participating in the TRIO SSS program you will have the opportunity to complete several career assessments and speak with the TRIO SSS Counselor about the results. This will assist you greatly in determining your specific areas of interest and your aptitudes.
VSCC has for the past several years had a placement rate of 90% or higher of graduates from our Associate of Applied Science degree programs. If you will be pursuing your career upon graduation from VSCC please make sure that you maintain close contact with the Office of Career Placement. The Office of Career Placement can assist you with resume writing, interviewing techniques and the search for employment. Each year the Office of Career Placement sponsors a Career Fair. This is an opportunity for local area employers to provide information to students about their companies and the jobs they have to offer.

The most energy-efficient ARM processor
An optimized architecture with a core pipeline of just two stages, enables the Cortex-M0+ processor to achieve a power consumption of just 9.8µW/MHz (90LP process, minimal configuration), while raising the performance to 2.42 CoreMark/MHz.
The Cortex-M0+ processor keeps the same 56 instructions of the Cortex-M0 processor, enabling simple and quick development. The Thumb® instruction set offers an unrivaled code-density while providing access to 32-bit computation performance. The combination of these features make the Cortex-M0+ processor a natural and cost effective successor to 8/16-bit devices in a wide variety of applications, while retaining tool and binary upwards compatibility with the feature-rich Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 processors.
Each application is different and has its specific needs. To enable our Partners to design solutions fitting the widest range of applications, the Cortex-M0+ processor offers a wide choice of options. Many of these, such as the Memory Protection Unit and the re-locatable vector-table, are common to the Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 processors; others are specifically for this new processor, namely the single-cycle I/O interface for faster control and the Micro Trace Buffer for enhanced debug.

Archbishop of Dublin Awarded Honorary Degree
Contact: Patrick Verel
(212) 636-7790
April 25, 2013
Archbishop Diarmuid Martin
Photo by Leo Sorel
The Most Reverend Diarmuid Martin, Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Dublin, was awarded a Doctor of Humane Letters,
honoris causa
, at a ceremony at the Fordham University Lincoln Center campus, on April 24.
"We here at Fordham, and indeed, everyone in the American church, are immensely proud with you. We see you as an inspiring figure not only for the Church in Ireland, but also for the Church universal," said Joseph M. McShane, S.J., president of Fordham.
The conferring of the degree, at which the Archbishop was presented a crosier custom-made by Fordham's carpentry staff, was preceded by a lecture "
Catholic Ireland: Past, Present, Future.
The evening presented an unflinching look at the dire state of the Catholic Church in Ireland, a country that had once been considered the most stable of all Catholic countries, but whose population is now estranged from the church, with plummeting attendance at masses and in seminaries.
In many ways, Archibishop Martin, who assumed his position in 2004, said a comparison could be made to the nation's economic woes, which have been exacerbated by strict austerity measures. Just as Ireland's leaders misread the roots of the country's previous economic successes, he said the Catholic Church for far too long has felt safely ensconced in the old notion of a "Catholic country." It has become conformist and controlling not just with its faithful but in society-at-large.
"Faith in Jesus Christ must open us out beyond human horizons. Christian faith requires changing our way of thinking, of trusting in God's love rather than in the tangible securities of day to day life," he said.
"When faith leads to conformism, it has betrayed the very nature of faith. Faith is always a leap into the unknown and a challenge to go beyond our own limits and beyond our own narrow certainties and the distorted understanding that comes from them."
J.J. Lee, Ph.D.

Conformism in part has led to what he termed an extraordinarily high number of children who were abused by priests. Although overwhelming majority of priests lead exemplary moral lives, it does not excuse those failures, he said. The great challenge for the Irish Catholic Church today is to deal with strong remnants of "inherited clericalism."
"The Catholic Church requires lay men and women whose faith enables them to dare to hope, and who will challenge us to expand the parameters of our hope beyond the narrow confines that each of us individually and as communities consciously or unconsciously fix for ourselves," he said.
Panel respondents included J.J. Lee, Ph.D., Member of the Royal Irish Academy and Glucksman Professor of Irish Studies, Glucksman Irish House, New York University and Theodora Hawksley, Ph.D., School of Divinity, University of Edinburgh.
Lee said that the Irish Catholic Church fell out of sync with its faithful in the 1960s, when industrialization that helped stir a population boom in the country also altered the very nature of Irish society. When abuse scandals erupted in the 1990s, it gave already wavering Catholics an excuse to leave the church for good.
"If there is to be a future for Catholicism in Ireland, it has to be almost be seen as a new missionary endeavor," he said. "There is no future in simply going back to the past."
Hawksley complimented the Archbishop for focusing on a homegrown renewal, and shared four places of renewal that she has studied. One of them is Glencairn Cistercian monastery for women near Lismore, County Waterford.
"On some level, people are in touch with, or seeking for, a deeper truth about what the church should be like," she said.
"They may not be able to articulate what that is, but they recognize it when they experience it. The depth of prayer connects them to the abiding presence of God underneath the turmoil and change."
The archbishop's appearance was sponsored by the Fordham
Center on Religion and Culture
and the Russo Family Lecture, which was made possible by The Russo Family Endowment, created by Dr. and Mrs. Robert D. Russo Sr., FCRH '39, and Dr. and Mrs. Robert D. Russo Jr., FCRH '69.

Trained volunteers joined social workers, homeless shelter staff and military veterans in the annual one-night survey of the state's homeless population last night. The nationwide census is required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to address the needs of the homeless. It's a need that's growing statewide, and especially in Maine's largest city, where six, cramped shelters can't keep up with demand. As Susan Sharon reports, for some homeless people, the preferred option is still a makeshift camp under a tunnel, tree or overpass.
As commuters head home during the 5:00 rush hour, hundreds of Portland's homeless are lining up for dinner at one of the city's shelters. Last week the Preble Street shelter served more than 500 meals in one night. That's about a hundred more than usual.
At the nearby Oxford Street Shelter, it's the same kind of story. For those who work with the homeless, getting people inside is a small success, a chance to make contact, hook them up with counseling and other services and eventually even a permanent place to live.
"When we're approaching folks we want to be very, very respectful and just say, 'Guys, we're doing some outreach tonight. We're looking to collect some information. Would you like to participate in a survey?'" says Rob Parritt, the assistant director of the Oxford Street Shelter, where several teams are about to embark on the annual homelessness survey.
Attaching a number to the homelessness problem helps determine how cities like Portland allocate their federal funding. Parritt says it's easy to count those who show up at the door. What's more difficult is to find the people who are living below the radar.
"For some folks who really don't want to be found, they're not going to be found, you know what I mean? 'Cause folks have been living outside for years and avoid us," he says. "But the places we've identified - we have a very experienced group of folks in this room and we know the known hang-out spots."
"My name is Betsy Whitman. I work with Homeless Voices for Justice, which is the advocacy group out of Preble Street made up of homeless or formerly homeless people."
Whitman is accompanied on foot on this rainy, unusually balmy January night by three other shelter workers who've been assigned to the greater Deering Oaks Park area. Equipped with flashlights and wearing boots and neon-colored vests, they look behind dumpsters and bleachers, under bridges and brush, anywhere someone could conceivably find shelter or camp out.
A community organizer and advocate, Whitman says she's never been homeless and it wouldn't be something she could survive.
"When I look at homeless people and people say, 'Oh, they should get a job,' I'm like, 'They have a job. They are working hard to survive,'" she says. "When you have to carry everything you own around with you all day long and stay warm and make sure you get in line for food and get in line for a bed, the majority of people are sleeping on mats on the floor, six inches away from someone else. I couldn't do it."
To deal with the overflow numbers of homeless people, the city of Portland has opened up an office area to keep people warm. But fire code regulations require that lights in the reception area are left on at night and that people sleep sitting up in chairs.
City officials ackowledge that the situation is not ideal and that it's one reason some of Portland's homeless prefer to stay out in cold. They say they are working to come up with a better solution.
"It's very tiny in there, I mean just very tiny. I don't know how to describe it, not really a tent, just something to keep the rain out and the snow, I guess," says team leader Harrison Deah. Not far from the interstate, off the beaten path, Deah has come across a homeless man in a rudimentary camp. The man, about 30 years old, declines to be interviewed for this story but agrees to speak privately with Deah. He tells him he's been restricted from the shelter for fighting.
"He said it's been a long time that he's been in and out of jail and then out on the streets, so he can't even remember how long he's been homeless," Deah says. "So he is definitely chronically homeless."
That distinction is important because, shelter workers say, the longer someone remains homeless, the harder it is to place them in permanent housing, something that remains the goal. Deah and the others do what they can to try to convince people to come in for a hot meal, get some clean, warm socks and make contact with caseworkers.
When the man tells Deah that his homeless brother was allowed back into the shelter after getting in a fight, Deah tells him that's all the more reason to give it another try.
"He was kind enough to talk to us," Deah says. "I think that was great, just getting his information out there, maybe. If this helped, that's good."
Results from the statewide homelessness survey are not expected until sometime in March. Last year more than 7,700 people spent the night in Maine's homeless shelters. And this year that number is expected to rise.

Feather-light charm
Revision as of 14:23, October 27, 2012 by Hunnie Bunn (Talk | contribs)
13,130pages on

The Featherweight Charm (incantation unknown) was a charm used to make heavy objects lighter in terms of weight.[1]
- Harry Potter contemplated using the spell to make his trunk lighter in order to tie it to the back of his broom and fly to London in order to get some money from Gringotts due to his belief that he was a fugitive. However, he did not actually use the spell.[1]
- Hermione Granger may have used the charm in order to make her beaded handbag lighter; however, this may have been the effect of another spell placed on it.[2]
Behind the scenes
- The spell is never actually given a name in the American edition of the books.
- It is unknown why Hogwarts students don't use this spell on their trunks to make them easier to carry; it is possible this would be against the Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery.[3]
- [[Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban}} (First mentioned)
- [[Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows}} (Possible appearance)
Notes and references
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 [[Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
- ↑ Though she can carry it with apparent ease, the fact that it extends undetectably may mean that it also becomes lightweight as if there was nothing in it.
- ↑ Underage students cannot perform magic unless in school, though it's possible that an exception can be made; this would also explain why, though in his first year Harry needed both the Weasley twins and himself to lift his trunk into the luggage racks, the other years he had no difficulty with it.

|This article concerns a game that is unreleased.
Some details may be speculative, and may turn out to be incorrect.
The Premium executive sedan (unofficially named) is a high performance executive sedan/ saloon, first appearing in GTA V.
This car features a front end based off a mix of the design of a second generation Saab 9-5 and facelifted Jaguar XFR. The front bumper features three intakes, the central intake being the least tall of the three, occupying half the width of the front bumper. Either side of this intake, there are two taller, chrome-trimmed intakes, with upper edges that are parallel to the lower edge of the headlamp units. Above the central intake there is a large, chrome-trimmed main grille with a curved lower edge and staright top edge, with a manufacturer emblem inset. Beginning from half the grille height there are chrome-edged headlamp units with a curved lower edge and a flat top edge. These hedlamp units feature two circular lamps closest to the centre, and a turn indicator lamp, furthest on the outside. The car features a long bonnet/ hood with two levels of elevation. The first signified by the line from the corner of the grille to its respective corner of the windscreen. The second level of elevation is inset centrally on the first.
The side of the car significantly resembles a fifth generation Maserati Quattroporte. The sides are formed mainly from a range of smooth, elegant curves. The wheel arches are flared, creating a more muscular appearance. Behind the long front quarter area the main body is smooth, with no extra formations. The greenhouse area features small body-coloured wing mirrors, chrome-trimmed windows and door handles. The b-pillars are neither chrome-trimmed nor body coloured. The rear wheel arch features a more prominent bulge than the front. Above, a long, elegant c-pillar can be seen, clearly illustrating the luxurious element of the car's design. By default the car features eight-spoke wheels with split edges connecting the spokes to the lip of the wheel.
The car draws on more XFR design elements and features rear lamp units that are dominantly red, which partly have the horizontal chrome trim inset. The horizontal trim also forms the top edge for the impressed license plate area. Beneath these there is a rear bumper that protrudes from the main body in two levels, with the lower half having more elevation. The base of the bumper features a polymer covered area which spans the entire width and housing two twin-tipped exhaust tips at either edge.
The car features large, cross-drilled brake discs.
- This model is the second in the entire Grand Theft Auto series to be based off a Jaguar and Maserati design.
