WASHINGTON – Norman is a sweet senior seeking that special someone for golden years' companionship.
All this low-maintenance 10.5-year-old mixed-breed needs to be happy is a laid- back comfy home with a person who will give him lots of love, tasty treats and maybe a short walk now and then.
He's the perfect size for apartment living and traveling, and he gets along with everybody — human and canine, alike. He'd enjoy a gentle or small-breed dog friend, but would be equally happy as your one and only.
As part of WARL's seniors for seniors program, Norman's adoption will be waived for older adopters.
WTOP Living is partnering with the Washington Animal Rescue League to feature a Pet of the Week available for adoption. For more information about Norman, email email@example.com or call 202-726-2556 ext. 503.

Threadless released a slew of T-Shirts this past Monday, as they are known to do, but I was pleasantly surprised with one T-Shirt in particular. Burger Eclipse by David Schwen is an epic T-Shirt. Why? Burgers! I love burgers and Burger Eclipse is all about the burger. And apparently, designer David Schwen is a big fan of the burger too, he is incidently also the brian behind the popular Threadless tee, Burgervetica.
Every burger fan has a burger or a burger joint that they swear is the best. For me, that place is Hodad's in San Diego. This is what I had to say about my Hodad's experience:
"The menu is a simple one: burgers, fries and shakes! I decided to get the Double Bacon Cheeseburger and I even SAC'd (added Swiss and American Cheese) it! Let me tell you, the burger that I had at Hodad's may possibly be the best burger that I have ever had (and I've had a lot of burgers from many different places). Part of it might have been the setting and people, but, the burger alone was ace."
Now, I have to say that the burgers at Red Mill Burgers is also delicious as hell. So good! The Bleu Cheese N' Bacon Burger is THE burger to get from Red Mill. It is amazing and is making my mouth water RIGHT NOW.
And of course I would be remiss if I didn't mention the Shake Shack in New York. They say that this burger joint is the closest thing the east coast has to an In-N-Out. I'd have to say that the Shake Shack surpasses In-N-Out. It's just a greasy good burger with no regard for veggies (love that). But it's still not Hodad's.
I freakin' love a good burger! And ALL three of these burgers were, as we say in Hawaii, ono!

'Shiny Pokémon' (Japanese: ポケモンの光る Pokémon no Hikaru) are Pokémon with different coloration than the normal versions of the Pokémon. Shiny Pokémon have been included since Generation II in Pokémon Gold Version and Pokémon Silver Version in which the first shiny Pokémon that was introduced was a Red Gyarados. Shiny Pokémon are considered very rare. The term "shiny" is a reference to their difference in color and their sparkling animation and sound effect when they enter into battle. The term was unofficial prior to Generation V, when the Pokédex began cataloging shiny Pokémon and using the term itself.
The differences between some Pokemon and their shiny counterparts are very obvious, such as Charizard, whose shiny version is completely black.
Other shiny Pokemon are very similar to their normal versions, such as Clefable.
In Generation II, when a battle starts, the game picks four random numbers between 0 and 65535. If any of the numbers is less than eight then the encounter will be a shiny Pokémon. The chance of seeing a shiny Pokémon is 1 in every 8192, or 0.0122%. From Generation III onwards, shiny Pokémon are determined by other factors such as the Trainer ID number and the personality value of the Pokémon. They can sometimes become shiny when you perform the correct amount of Soft Resets (also known as SRs) through a shortcut. This can be a time consuming process, taking days or even weeks.
There are a few different methods to increase your chances of obtaining a shiny Pokémon.
Chaining (Gen IV)
This method uses the Pokéradar in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl and Pokemon Platinum to encounter chains of the same Pokémon. Here's a few tips:
- If the bush just shakes, it is a Sinnoh Pokémon.
- If the bush has a whitish shake, it might be a non-native Pokémon.
- Never use it in water, caves or tall grass.
- The bush with the same type of shake as the first Pokémon you battled that is the farthest away within a four by four grid is most likely the same Pokémon.
- The likelihood of finding a shiny Pokemon increases as your chain continues unbroken, but is at a maximum when the chain reaches 40. Pulsing, sparkling grass indicates a Shiny Pokemon is in that bush.
Masuda Method (Gen IV-V)
To use this method you must breed two Pokemon from two different language games. If you use this method in generation IV the chances of hatching a shiny Pokemon are raised from 1/8192 to 1/2048, whereas in generation V they are even better at 1/1365.3. Although this is much higher than normal, using the Masuda Method still mathematically averages one shiny egg for every 947 eggs. This method was created and announced by Junichi Masuda, director of GameFreak.
- Use the Global Trade Station (GTS) to find a Japanese Ditto
- Select a pokemon and put it in the Day-Care with the Japanese Ditto
- Keep hatching until you find a shiny
Soft Reset (Useful for Legendaries and Shiny Starters (Gen. II to Gen. V))
One method which is easy enough (but often very time consuming) works for starters and most Legendary Pokémon. Basically, the method is to stand in front of the legendary Pokémon you will catch/starter you will take and save. If you don't get a shiny when you get your starter/battle the legendary, soft reset the game by pressing A+B+Start+Select on the GBA and L+R+Start+Select on the DS. This method can often require over 1000 resets before you get a shiny, however with enough dedication and patience your efforts will pay off.
In-Game Shiny Pokémon
In-game shiny Pokémon are met as part of the main story in some Pokémon games. For example, the Red Gyarados appears in Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal Versions, and in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions as part of a story arc, and can be caught in a way similar to most legendary Pokémon.
In FireRed and LeafGreen, a Trainer with a shiny Espeon can be battled inside the Trainer Tower on one of the Sevii Islands. There is also another trainer with a shiny Meowth.
In Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokemon White Version 2, the player can catch a Shiny Haxorus in the post-story. The player can also receive a Shiny Gible in Black 2 and a Shiny Dratini in White 2.
Shiny Pokémon in the Anime series
- Rhyhorn: in season 2 there was a shiny Rhyhorn that was pink. was seen again after Jesse found out about it.
- Noctowl: Ash Ketchum caught a Shiny Noctowl while on his travels through Johto. It also seems to be about half the size of other Noctowls.
- Shuckle: While in Johto, Ash and co. discovered a Shiny Shuckle.
- Gyarados: First seen in the Lake of Rage and was caught by Lance. It was also seen again during the battle between Kyogre and Groudon.
- Magneton: Owned by Pokémon Trainer Jackson when he battles Ash in the Silver Conference.
- Swellow: Winona, the Fortree City Gym Leader has a Shiny Swellow.
- Donphan: A Shiny Donphan has been shown in the Hoenn Region on Dontoe Island.
- Magikarp: Was seen briefly in the episode "Judgement Day".
- Dustox: Jessie's Dustox fell in love with a male Shiny Dustox and then was released similar to how Ash released his Butterfree. (Except Jessie smashed Dustox's Poké Ball so it could go with its true love)
- Metagross: In the episode "Noodles! Roamin' Off", James in Team Rocket went out to see this strangely colored Metagross that people had been talking about, and was promptly attacked by the shiny Metagross.
- A Ditto in "Dealing With Fierce Double Ditto Drama" was shiny.
- Ariados: In the Special Episode "Dawn's New Journey", Dawn and Cinco encountered a swarm of Ariados as well as a shiny one using Psychic so the others could wrap Dawn and the others with String Shot.
- Entei, Raikou, and Suicune: the three legendary beasts were shiny guardians of the city in the Pokémon Movie: Zoroark: Master of Illusions
- Hydreigon owned by Carlita in White, Victini, and Reshiram. It is used in the tournament In that movie.
- Golurk owned by Carlita in White: Victini and Zekrom. It was used to guard Juanita's trailer that contained Victini dolls and candy.
- Onix: The Pokemon was seen near the end in, "Expedition to Onix Island" after Meloetta uses her song to calm down the other attacking Onix. It seemed to have been the leader of the Onix.
- In Generation II games shiny Pokémon are, on average, slightly stronger than their normal coloured counterparts. However, this is not true for later generations.
- There are examples of Pokémon which, although colored differently, are not officially shiny, such as gender differences in regular coloring such as in Hippowdon, Jellicent and Frillish however these are not shiny but each gender will have its own shiny colour that differs from the usual colour for their gender.
- The first alternately colored Pokémon to appear in the anime series was seen by Ash in the first season when he released his Butterfree so it could find a mate.
- In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, two Kecleon own a shop in the town square. One is a dark purple color.
- The Pokémon which reside in parts of the Orange Islands are coloured differently to other Pokémon. The color changes are due to climate and natural adaption according to Professor Ivy.
- In the Anime, "The Island of the Pink Pokemon" was just that apparently, eating the berries there turned Pokemon pink however if the Pokemon stop eating the berries they will discontinue being pink. Ash's Pikachu was temporarily pink due to this.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -- Wesley Woodyard has no intention of slipping back into a substitute role when D.J. Williams returns from his nine-game, NFL-mandated banishment next month.
The Broncos have no plans of letting him off the field, either. He's the first Denver defender to record 50 tackles with multiple sacks (three) and interceptions (two) before the midway point of the season.
The fifth-year linebacker was a one-man wrecking crew in the Broncos' 34-14 thrashing of Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints last weekend, getting 13 tackles, two pass breakups, a sack and strip, and a game-turning interception.

Director's Biography, Awards, Testimony to Congress, and Scientific Publications
The Immunopathogenesis Section investigates the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the immune dysfunction caused by HIV infection. Several major projects ongoing in the section are described below.
We and others previously demonstrated that the latent viral reservoir in the resting CD4+ T-cell compartment persists in virtually all infected individuals receiving effective antiretroviral therapy (ART). As a result of our work, this viral reservoir has been considered to be a major impediment to the eradication of HIV in vivo. In recent years, our studies have demonstrated that HIV continually replicates at low levels in chronically infected individuals who have been consistently aviremic for prolonged periods of time as a result of effective ART. Based on this observation, the Immunopathogenesis Section has focused its research on 1) dynamics of persistent viral reservoirs in infected individuals who initiated ART during the acute phase of HIV infection, 2) delineation of the mechanism by which HIV persists in infected individuals receiving effective ART for extended periods of time, and 3) role of gut-associated lymphoid tissues (GALT) in the persistence of viral reservoirs in infected individuals receiving effective ART for extended periods of time.
Twenty years ago, LIR demonstrated that B cells of HIV-infected individuals manifested numerous signs of aberrant hyperactivity and dysfunction. Over the past several years, we have directed our efforts to delineating the mechanisms of B-cell dysfunction associated with ongoing HIV replication and disease progression. This has been made possible by the ability to study HIV-infected patients during the viremic and aviremic states, the latter induced by effective ART. Insight into B-cell dysfunction in HIV disease has been achieved using both basic science and clinical approaches. We have determined that ongoing HIV replication and CD4+ T-cell lymphopenia contribute to the expansion of aberrant B-cell subpopulations that, in turn, are unable to mount an effective antibody response against HIV and common immunogens.
The goal of this project is to characterize the interaction between the HIV envelope and its cellular receptors. This characterization will provide information fundamental to the basic pathogenic mechanisms that underlie HIV disease. The HIV envelope is remarkable in its ability to interact with at least three different cell surface receptors, and it is this unique property that has led us to undertake this project. Our approach involves combining biochemical characterization of envelope proteins with the responses of cells involved in immune responses to envelope treatment. We have recently developed a recombinant envelope expression system to produce and evaluate over a dozen different recombinant envelopes. These recombinants will be used to fully characterize the effects of HIV envelope proteins on the functionality of CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, NK cells, dendritic cells, and B cells. HIV-1 gp120 transduces near-simultaneous signals through CD4 and a chemokine receptor (CCR5 and/or CXCR4). Recent findings involve HIV-1 envelope protein gp120 binding to an activated form of α4β7 on CD4+ T cells, NK cells, and CD8+ T cells. Understanding the complexities and significance of the signaling processes that gp120 mediates will enhance our understanding of HIV-1 pathogenesis and may facilitate the discovery of new strategies for the treatment and prevention of HIV-1 disease.
Co-infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) is seen in 15 to 30 percent of all HIV-infected individuals in the United States. With the marked reduction in AIDS-associated opportunistic infections due to the judicious use of antiretroviral therapy (ART), liver disease is becoming a leading cause of death in this group. Co-infection with HCV and HIV results in increased morbidity and mortality, rapid progression of liver fibrosis to cirrhosis, and poor cure rates for HCV. The pathophysiologic mechanisms that lead to poor outcomes in HIV/HCV co-infected individuals are currently unknown. We have focused on developing a translational research program to study HIV/HCV co-infection with an emphasis on innate immune responses and development of therapeutic approaches that maximize the cure rates of HCV infection and avoid serious adverse events among HIV/HCV co-infected individuals.

EA COO Peter Moore (Credit: Getty Images)
The results of the poll are hardly surprising -- even EA predicted it would repeat the dubious honor -- but they were certainly conclusive.
EA faced stiff competition en route to the championship round, besting fellow disliked companies Anheuser-Busch, Facebook and AT&T before squaring off against Bank of America in the final round of voting. BofA proved no match, however, as EA captured a decisive 78 percent of the vote to take home the not-so-coveted "Golden Poo" award. It's the second straight "win" for EA and the second straight runner-up nod for Bank of America.
EA was cited for its love of microtransactions, the price of its games and its irritating DRM practices, among other issues. But the disastrous SimCity launch was a particular sore point.
"EA made a royal mess of the SimCity release by failing to foresee that the people who would buy the game -- and who would, per the game's design, be required to connect to the EA servers -- might actually want to play at some point in the week after making their purchase," wrote the site. "But that's just the latest in EA's long history of annoying its customer base with bad support. Customers who paid full price for games, or who spent or saved huge piles of in-game cash in EA's online products, would suddenly find a problem with their accounts, but attempts to rectify the problem -- or even get a response from EA -- would go unheeded."
EA chief operating officer Peter Moore, in an open letter to gamers last week, admitted the company could do better, but said the label of "worst company" was undeserved.
"Are we really the 'Worst Company in America?'" he asked. "I'll be the first to admit that we've made plenty of mistakes. These include server shut downs too early, games that didn't meet expectations, missteps on new pricing models and most recently, severely fumbling the launch of SimCity. We owe gamers better performance than this. … But I am damn proud of this company, the people around the globe who work at EA, the games we create and the people that play them."
Editors at The Consumerist seemed to take umbrage at Moore's pre-emptive defense of the company, deconstructing it as they announced the final round. The Consumerist also shrugged off Moore's criticism of EA being compared to companies that have polluted the planet and evicted people from their homes.
"Make no mistake: Video games are big business," the site said. "A company like EA -- and Activision, Ubisoft, Nintendo, and Sony, etc. -- merits just as much scrutiny as any other business that plays a leading role in a multibillion-dollar industry. It's only a fractured, antiquated public perception that video games are somehow frivolous holdovers from childhood that allows gamers to be abused and taken advantage of by the very people who supply them the games they play."
Though no company wants to win this kind of award, EA in particular doesn't need more bad news. EA is already dealing with a much more significant issue thanks to the resignation of CEO John Riccitiello last month, not to mention continued fallout from the SimCity debacle. However, investors were undeterred when the company won last year, as the stock price was unaffected, and it didn't hurt game sales demonstrably -- though apparently EA is doing a perfectly fine job hurting itself.

As is now well known, the ten pillars of the national agricultural modernisation programme popularly known as Kilimo Kwanza include those relating to the financing of its implementation and the strategic framework within which the initiative will be executed and managed.
They also closely relate to land acquisition and development, incentives to implementing agencies, industrialisation and deployment of science, technology and human resources as well as development of infrastructure.
All this is precisely with a view to modernising and commercialising agriculture, for long acknowledged as the backbone of Tanzania's economy, ultimately promoting small, medium and large-scale producers through emphasis on productivity and tradability.
Admittedly, the going has not been at its smoothest both the sector generally and Kilimo Kwanza in particular, the latter having had to contend with a number of teething problems.
But the government is emphatic that there will be neither retreat nor surrender on this and, given the strategic importance of agriculture for the country and nation, this is indeed as it should be.
It has been profoundly heartening in recent days getting reports of a wide range of institutions – from various corners of the globe – expressing willingness to continue supporting Tanzania in fostering its agriculture to greater heights and higher levels of productivity.
But the recent decision to lower the price of power tillers sold by the economic wing of the National Service also speaks volumes about the government's seriousness about doing all that it has resources for to help agriculture become a more stable and lucrative industry, partly thanks to affordable mechanisation.
This said, we should not close our eyes to the fact that the mechanisation we are talking about still essentially means adoption and deployment of equipment still well beyond the reach of most small farmers. Tragically, these form the bulk of the force behind the development of the sector in our country!
What this means is that we still need to devise strategies by and through which to ensure that the power tillers and other equipment or inputs needed to help our agriculture really ticks are more affordable to as many of our people as possible.
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation warned many years ago that as large-scale commercial farming operations increase, they could displace small-scale farmers trigger higher levels of rural poverty and food insecurity.
Tanzania has not reached that stage yet, and we know the government is all out to guard against the development of such an ugly scenario.
But safeguarding the interests of our small farmers will only make enough meaning if we also help them engage more in and benefit more from agriculture, which is the main argument in favour of Kilimo Kwanza.
To show that we are really serious about modernising our agriculture, we need to fight as hard as we can to help it thrive – not merely survive.
One hopes all of us shall do so, and what better way of doing so than throwing our full weight behind Kilimo Kwanza by building on its positive aspects and appropriately dealing with the negative ones!

A Nash County man and his son have been arrested and accused of making thousands of pirated movie DVDs and CDs.
Fifty-seven-year-old Ronnie James Taylor Sr. and 20-year-old Ronnie James Taylor Jr. were arrested at their home in Nashville.
Sheriff's deputies say they found more than 9,200 illegal DVDs and about 530 illegal CDs.
Deputies said the films ranged from major studio releases to hardcore pornographic films. The discs are estimated to be worth nearly $110,000.
Lt. Todd Wells says deputies also seized eight computers, printers and a large amount of computer software.
It was not clear if the men have attorneys.

Starfleet uniform (mid 2260s-early 2270s)
this wiki
From the mid 2260s to the early 2270s, Starfleet uniforms were drastically modified from their earlier versions. The general tailoring of the "tunic and pants" uniform design worn by Starfleet servicepeople was maintained, but with the addition of an updated collar, new rank insignia and revised colors for Starfleet divisions and departments. (TOS: "The Corbomite Maneuver")
These uniforms were made of xenylon, an algae based fabric with a special appearance not often seen in the clothing in more primitive eras. The difference in fabric appearance was considerable, as Captain James Kirk once pointed out to an illusory inhabitant of the Melkot simulation of Tombstone, Arizona. (TAS: "The Terratin Incident"; TOS: "Spectre of the Gun") In addition, they had built-in temperature controls, to accommodate for cold weather environments. (TOS: "Spock's Brain")
This style of uniform would initially put into general use by 2265, but some starship crews or individual service people would continue to wear the older style until 2268. These uniforms would be drastically replaced in the 2270s, with a changing of many uniform variants sometime between 2270 and 2272. (TOS: "Charlie X", "The Trouble with Tribbles"; Star Trek: The Motion Picture)
Division colors
Into the 24th century, buffs of Starfleet history will note the division colors of this era. Miles O'Brien and Benjamin Sisko told Julian Bashir of the different practices when, in posing as "contemporary" Starfleet officers during an unplanned visit to 2268, the doctor, admitting he was no historian, initially did not understand why the captain wore a "gold" uniform and the engineer a red one, as the uniforms of his career conformed to a different standard. (DS9: "Trials and Tribble-ations")
- Command division
- Command uniforms ranged in color depending on the type of fabric used. While they were generally described as gold, some of the darker variants had a distinct greenish hue, while the dress uniforms, and a captain's alternate tunic were clearly green.
- Operations division
- Ops uniforms were a warm shade of red in most variations, although it has been noted that some personnel wore beige uniforms reminiscent of earlier styles.
- Sciences division
- Science and medical uniforms were a mild shade of blue.
- Cadets
- Cadet uniforms were metallic gray, woven from a special reflective thread.
Duty tunic
The standard duty uniform was worn with standard issue black leather (TOS: "Charlie X", "Obsession"; DS9: "Trials and Tribble-ations") boots that rose above the calf and zippered along the inside. Black pants were worn that ended in length midway down the shank of the boot and terminated in a 1 inch wide flare, similar to the style worn by sailors on old Earth. The duty uniform top was a long-sleeve, division-colored tunic, with a closing seam from the collar to the left shoulder. (TOS: "The Corbomite Maneuver", "The Naked Time", "Charlie X")
Rank insignia were displayed as sleeve stripes, and an assignment patch on the left breast was worn by all personnel. While the previous uniform style had a ribbed low turtleneck collar, the replacement design had a black collar with a V-shaped bottom. Black undershirts were issued, but not strictly required for everyday wear. (TOS: "The Cage", "Where No Man Has Gone Before", "The Naked Time", "The Man Trap", "The Omega Glory")
Female uniform
Female crewmembers could choose between a standard uniform with pants, or a one-piece uniform that continued down into a short skirt over matching high cut shorts, worn with black pantyhose and boots. Female uniform tops also had a large open collar, the seam closed right at the assignment patch. There were two variations of the female tunic: one with a black collar and another version which had the collar colored the same as rest of the tunic. (TOS: "The Man Trap", "Charlie X", "The Naked Time")
- It is not clear if Christine Chapel's uniform is meant for medical personnel only.
Some later variants of the skirt uniform seem to be two-piece uniforms. (Star Trek: The Animated Series)
Dress uniforms
Different uniforms were worn for circumstances other than general service. For example, dress uniforms were worn for diplomatic functions. A dress tunic uniform, worn with standard pants and boots and a Nehru collar, in the male version. A skirt variant exists, with a back collar similar to the standard female uniform but with a longer skirt and gold piping along the collar. Lower ranking personnel wear an assignment patch, with a thin gold piping around the collar (and running down the front of the high-collar version). Lieutenants have the piping, patch and also their rank stripes. Higher ranking lieutenant commanders wear the tunic with similar piping, but decorations are worn in lieu of the assignment patch and rank stripes for lieutenant commanders and above. Commanders and executive officers have a much thicker braid around the collar, and captains have additional piping down their shoulder seams. Finally, commodores and above have an additional gold piping running the length of their sleeve. (TOS: "Space Seed", "Court Martial", "Is There in Truth No Beauty?")
Other uniforms
Short-sleeved tunic
A short-sleeved "smock" tunic was often worn by medical personnel. It appears to be made from a fabric similar to that of the jumpsuits and gives the user more free use of their hands than the standard long-sleeved tunic. (TOS: "The Corbomite Maneuver", "The Naked Time", "Mudd's Women", "Journey to Babel")
Wraparound tunic
Captains had a choice of more casual clothing to wear when on duty. James T. Kirk favored two variations of a green wrap-around tunic, the first with rank stripes spread across the left and right shoulder, and the second with sleeve rank stripes like the standard uniform. Unlike the standard uniforms, the assignment patch was used as a fastener near the waist. Charles Evans wore a beige version of this uniform with a cream colored undershirt. Charlie's uniform didn't have any rank insignia. (TOS: "The Enemy Within", "Charlie X", "The Doomsday Machine"; ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II")
Duty jumpsuit
Everyday work jumpsuits were also worn, usually with no assignment or rank patches visible (even if the jumpsuit was worn by a senior officer). Duty jumpsuits come in a division color. Some versions had embroidered writing and insignia on the left breast. The jumpsuit had medium length sleeves and was worn open in the front, sealing at the waistline. A standard black undershirt was worn underneath, in contrast with jumpsuit uniforms of the previous style with division-colored undershirts. The jumpsuits came in red (operations division), green/brown (command division) and blue (sciences division). (TOS: "The Naked Time", "The Enemy Within", "Mudd's Women", "Balance of Terror", "Dagger of the Mind")
Hazard vest
A hazard vest, seen in beige, was in issue for excursions or technical personnel. Sometimes the hazard vest was worn in conjunction with protective gloves and head cover. (TOS: "The Man Trap")
Protective suit
A flexible protective suit was available for use in dangerous environments. (TOS: "The Naked Time")
Environmental suit
A pressurized environmental suit was issued for use in inhospitable environments. It provided full life support to its wearer in vacuums. (TOS: "The Tholian Web")
Athletic wear
Athletic wear was available for use during sporting or other leisure activities. Several varieties were issued, all colored red. One set included red leggings, black socks, a tunic and a belt. The belt was colored, possibly indicating a certain ranking within a sport. Another option was a red unitard. The assignment patch was placed on the left breast of the tunic, and on the left side of the leggings or unitard. (TOS: "Charlie X")
Equipment belt
Equipment belts were worn with the standard duty uniforms, often by security personnel to carry phaser pistols. (TOS: "Miri", "The Galileo Seven", "Arena"; DS9: "Trials and Tribble-ations")
- The quite elaborate brown belt was only seen in early episodes. During most of the series phasers were simply attached to the pants by using Velcro (as can be seen here).
Life support belt
- See: Life support belt
Assignment patches
Assignment patches were worn on many of the uniform styles, and were individual depending on a service person's posting. Departmental insignia of the wearer's position was in the center of many of these patches. (TOS: "Charlie X", "The Omega Glory", "The Tholian Web"; DS9: "Trials and Tribble-ations"; ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly", "In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II")
- The above assignment patches were used by the crew of the USS Enterprise from 2266 to 2270, and are typical of the era's ship assignment patches. They depict the usual divisional insignia patches used on corresponding color uniforms, although these were absent from some other styles of patches. Although the division symbols and colors were standardized by this period, Uhura wore a sciences patch on her early command gold uniform. ("The Corbomite Maneuver") Nurse Chapel's unique medical patch was obviously a sciences patch with a red cross painted or attached to it, as the circles of the sciences design were visible. (example)
Rank insignia
| Enlisted
Lieutenant junior grade
Lieutenant commander
Vice admiral
- This chart represents the rank insignia seen on screen throughout these uniforms' appearances. Ensign and enlisted ranks apparently had no insignia. No rear admiral, full admiral, or fleet admiral were seen. The rear admiral insignia could be inferred from the Star Trek: The Motion Picture uniform style, which showed Kirk's rear admiral insignia of that era, where very similar stripes were used.

Background information
The Starfleet uniforms worn during Star Trek: The Original Series were designed by William Ware Theiss, who returned to design the Star Trek: The Next Generation uniforms (which were further adapted into future versions on DS9, VOY and the TNG-era films by Robert Blackman).
Although the standard command division uniform tunics looked gold on most color TV sets, the costumes were actually lime green[1]. The greenish hue of the command tunics can be seen more clearly in the third season, when the fabric used for the tunics was changed from satin velour to a double-knit fabric that reflected the set lighting differently. The dress uniforms, made of a silk material, were always clearly green by comparison, and some darker green jumpsuits and wraparound tunics that were more clearly seen seemed to confirm that all the "gold-to-green" variations were part of the same color scheme. The so-called "beige" uniforms which originated with "The Cage" were ironically a much more yellow color, but likewise appeared beige or pinkish under the lights.
These uniforms first appeared in "The Corbomite Maneuver". Kirk's wraparound jacket was light green, one variation in "Charlie X" with captain's braid on one shoulder, 2 other variations in TOS Season 2 with gold trim only with rank on the sleeves appearing only in "The Doomsday Machine" and with both gold and black trim with rank on the sleeves, for the remainder of the season. No other officer in the original series was ever seen wearing this uniform, although one more green uniform was used, a green service jumpsuit worn by Connors. (The mirror universe Jonathan Archer wore this variant uniform in ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly".) This style was not seen at all in TOS Season 3.
Chronologically these uniforms first appeared in late 2265 in the Christmas party flashback scenes in "Dagger of the Mind" and the recording of Doctor Leonard McCoy's visit to Capella IV in "Friday's Child".
With a few exceptions, all women in these uniforms wore the skirt variant. One uniform seen on extras in TOS Season 1 was a woman's gold command uniform with pants. It was created for a scene in "Charlie X" where a pretty crewwoman was transformed into an old hag, who might not have looked appropriate in a skirt uniform. It also made an appearance in "The Man Trap". In regards to the collars on female uniforms, blue-collared uniforms were seen in TOS and TAS on Nurse Chapel, and red-collared uniforms were seen in TAS. Female gold command uniforms were rare on both series and were never seen with colored collars.
This uniform style was last seen in TAS: "The Counter-Clock Incident", although it was later recreated for DS9: "Trials and Tribble-ations" and ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly".

Ah! Snails are MOST excellent, I had some 'pet' snails when I was wee also... however I didn't actually do any research, or think much about it at all obviously, because I put them in an old aquarium with various leaves & sticks to play with & came back the next day to the suprising sight of an aquarium filled fill leaves & sticks but no snails....
That's right. I had no lid. But, being the blonde child that I was, I was terribley perplexed at the time.... ;)

Colour and some details added.
### Latest WIP ###
Looking pretty great already. You can definitely see the improvement/refinement of your style.
Are you using the same canvas size as the original?
The mountains are really great!
I agree with Larb. I still remember your first stab at a painterly style. Your color blending and contour work has definitely very much improved. This looks to be a very lovely piece. Looking forward to seeing more.
Thank you, guys.
Next step: new icons for the trade goods.
### Latest WIP ###
Next update. Labels added and legend completed. I kept the border deliberately simple, but I'm not sure if it is too simple now.
I'm thinking of adding a junk or two as deco.

- "Forks High School had a frightening total of only three hundred and fifty-seven — now fifty-eight students; there were more than seven hundred people in my junior class alone back home. All of the kids here had grown up together — their grandparents had been toddlers together."
"I would be the new girl from the big city, a curiosity, a freak.."
- ―The Very annoying Bella Swan[src]
Forks High School is a real high school on South Spartan Avenue in the town of Forks, Washington, which serves grades 9 to 12 in the Quileute Valley School District. It is also the setting for much of the Twilight Saga, during Bella's junior and senior years. Many of the Cullens pretend to be of age to attend high school during the book Twilight; however, during New Moon, Rosalie, Jasper, and Emmett have graduated and so only Edward and Alice continue to attend. In the film adaption of New Moon, Jasper still attends it. The school is described as a collection of matching buildings, built with maroon-colored bricks and surrounded by trees and shrubs; in the film adaptations it is shown as being one large building, with the shrubs and trees still present.
In the special features of the New Moon DVD, it is stated that most of the shooting is a green screen.
358 students attend the school, along with Bella.
Twilight sucks!
Twilight sucks!
Secretary's office
The room is described as small and has a small waiting room, with folding chairs and a bulletin board. A loud ticking clock is on the wall. The secretary keeps flowers in plastic containers. In the middle of the room there is a bar with many baskets of paper and at the front there are flyers in bright and brilliant colors. Behind the bar are three desks, one of them is Ms. Cope's.

Information on the locations of the Forks High School
Due to budget constraints, it was decided not to shoot in the Forks High School, though the school provided the crew with their school related material: yearbooks, newspapers, school jackets, etc. Many indoors scenes have been shot in a number of different schools.

Oh, nice, it's like a guide book map
My family has recently gotten into paddling, with a couple of kayaks and a canoe. My 16-year-old son is the most gung-ho, willing to join me on longer expeditions than the rest of my crew. Some of the minor rivers and creeks hereabouts turn into a mixture of hiking AND paddling... trees down across the stream, shallow bits, mud. But the two of us tackled a nice long stretch that was all water, no walk, a couple of months ago. On the downside it was all flat water - my son would of course prefer rapids. Still, there were features one could map...
... that's a start anyway. The Tennessee River half of the trip had plenty of water of course, but also rather more traffic than the Flint. Maybe I'll add some wake-V's to show that. When one is in a kayak, even modest wakes are cause for concern.
Oh, nice, it's like a guide book map
Nice, I often use Google Satellite to find new places to kayak. It was pretty easy to find this on Goggle.

The Smallest Post Office in the United States Here in the Columbia River Gorge
Bridal Veil post office is one of the smallest post offices in the US (only 2 others are smaller) at 100 square feet. Almost 125 years old, it stays open mainly due to its highly sought after postmark which attracts thousands of brides who bring their wedding invitations to Bridal Veil. In the height of wedding season the post office can be filled with thousands of wedding invitations waiting for this special postmark. Here's a tip though, the post office needs revenue to stay open and merely postmarking an invitation doesn't produce revenue. So call or stop in and purchase your stamps from them as well to help insure this wonderful little tradition can continue. Who wouldn't love to get a wedding invitation postmarked from Bridal Veil, OR?

Re: A few humble suggestions and theories
At the moment, the only ideas I'm really interested in are three element combinations, the ones I'm missing. On your ideas:
- I fail to see how wind and yang would produce gravity. Plus, we've seen gravity based techniques in the form of Deva Path's abilities.
- Diamond is too similar to Crystal Release for me to consider.
- Many of Guren's techniques also use jade crystals.
- I already sort of use salt, but as brine, in the water and yin combination. Plus, I'm using yin and yang combinations for things related to characteristics relating to living beings.
- The combinations I do are just between basic elements. For example, my Bacteria Release idea is earth, water, and yang, not wood and yang. My only attempt to expand on other advanced natures is in the stronger counterpart table, in which the stronger counterpart to wood would be forest.
- The kanji used for gold is also the one used for metal, which I already under Metal Release. Also, I don't see how yin would account for gold.
- Similar to the above, I don't see how yang would make earth and lightning into silver.
- I already used the kanji for mist for a now discarded Fume Release idea. Basic Water Release accounts for mist techniques already.
- Same yin and yang point from number four, and there are shadow techniques already, by the Nara clan, which I'm pretty sure are Yin Release.
- I've considered putting glass in the past, but I always decide against it due to Crystal Release being so similar to what I picture it doing.
- I fail to see how wind and yang would turn earth into obsidian. Just being sharp doesn't cut it for me (pun unintended).
Kishimoto hasn't stated that there's only one possible outcome for each combination, but so far, that seems to hold true. I won't consider putting more natures for combinations already filled out until he does, which I hope he won't. Things are a complicated mess as they are.

The Problem
Despite years of education reform efforts, success in lifting student achievement remains elusive for many urban public schools. An often-missing ingredient is effective school leadership, cited in research as second only to teaching in school influences on student success.
How We Are Tackling It
Since 2000, Wallace has supported states and school districts to develop and test ways to improve leadership by principals and others key to better schools. Our efforts have included leadership improvement undertakings in 24 states and numerous urban school districts within them as well as the publication of 70-plus related research studies and other reports. This has taught us a great deal about school leadership. Our school leadership strategy building on this work is three-pronged:
For this last prong, Wallace has launched an initiative to help six urban school districts develop a much larger corps of effective school principals and to determine whether this improves student achievement across the district, especially in the highest needs schools. The districts are: Charlotte-Mecklenburg in North Carolina; Denver; Gwinnett County (near Atlanta) in Georgia; Hillsborough County (near Tampa) in Florida; New York City; and Prince George's County (near Washington, D.C.) in Maryland. The districts will be working to fully develop the four essential, interlocking parts of a principal pipeline:
Some of the Research Informing Our Work
How Leadership Influences Student Learning and a large follow-up study, Learning From Leadership: Investigating the Links to Improved Student Learning, by researchers at the Universities of Minnesota and Toronto, explore the central role of leadership in improving student performance. Preparing School Leaders for a Changing World: Lessons from Exemplary Leadership Development Programs – Final Report, by researchers at Stanford University and The Finance Project, provides guidelines for district and state policymakers to help reinvent how principals are prepared for their jobs.
Launched in 2000, this initiative seeks to improve the work of principals and other leaders in urban K-12 public school education through improved training and more supportive policies. Wallace funding of about $286 million has included support for: leadership projects in 24 states and numerous districts in them; some 70 research and other reports; communications efforts – among them, a documentary film, The Principal Story – to build awareness of the importance of leadership; and establishment of an education leadership doctoral program at Harvard.
