Vt. education and labor official prepare for jobs
NEWPORT, Vt. (AP) — Vermont education and labor officials are helping to prepare the Northeast Kingdom for an influx of what officials hope could eventually be 10,000 jobs that will come through a development initiative run by Jay Peak Resort President Bill Stenger and his partner Ariel Quiros.
Officials say the first wave of jobs created in the region by the Northeast Kingdom Economic Development Initiative are already being created in the construction and tourism industries and if people wait too long for training and additional education they could miss out.
"We really need trained qualified people," said Patricia Sears of the Newport City Renaissance Corp., who is helping to prepare the community for the NEK Initiative.
A team of labor and education specialists is focusing on the jobs that they will create -- and the training that will be needed to get those jobs. A report expected to be finished soon will be shared in the community, said team-member Cindy Robillard.
Stenger andl Quiros are expanding Jay Peak and Burke Mountain resorts, bringing Menck Windows USA and AnC Bio Vermont to the city of Newport, rebuilding a downtown block and building a waterfront hotel in Newport City. The project will also include expanding the Newport State Airport.
Neil Morrissette of Creative Workplace Solutions in Newport City said anyone who is holding back on getting training or education because of the cost of education should contact the North Country Career Center or labor department now.
There are also hospitality and tourism programs at the career center, and area colleges.
Six to eight construction positions already open and listed with the labor department, Robillard said. Menck Windows USA is expected to begin operations later this year

Anniston, Alabama Advocates for the disabled say they're concerned about the future of special education programs since state officials plan to inspect them less often.
The Anniston Star reported Sunday that the state Department of Education will transition from inspecting the programs once every three years to once every four years beginning this school year.
Alabama Disabilities Advocacy Program attorney Nancy Anderson says that means a high school freshman could graduate without a state inspection making any impact on the program they're in.
Alabama Department of Education spokeswoman Malissa Valdes-Hubert says the decision to transition to a four-year inspection cycle is more economical for the department.
Aside from the frequency of state inspections, Anderson says federal spending cuts are expected to negatively impact special education programs as well.

By Pritpal Kaur Khalsa, excerpt from I AM A WOMAN
There was a time when woman was worshipped for her divinity, her beauty, her wisdom and her grace. In the eyes of the newborn infant and their perfect innocence looking into the eyes of the Mother, this has never changed. The child sees not just the physical form of the mother but the light and radiance that surrounds and emanates from her physical body. This is the image of woman that Yogi Bhajan saw and nurtured within us.
Many of us have spent years basing our self-worth on whether we met the standards that media and culture have set for women: to be skinny and sexy in order to be truly a woman. How liberating it is to think of our value being defined by our inner light, our radiance and grace.
Each of us is unique and as women we have been given a gift, the beguiling beauty of God within us. Yogi Bhajan said if God ever thought of taking only one form, woman would be the vehicle in which God would come to Earth. Our beauty is not in our makeup or our fashion, it lies in our depth.
The strength of our mental, spiritual, auric, subtle, pranic and radiant bodies forms a brilliant light field—our radiance—and makes up our entire physical being. Add to that radiance our smile and nothing can defeat us. With this strength and contentment there is no need for trauma and drama because your attraction will be so strong that everything will come to you.
We have another blessing as women that gives us effectiveness and radiance—our grace. What is grace? Grace is the strength of character to be you and to never let yourself down or anyone else down. A woman walking in her radiance and grace requires no introduction. We do not have to utter a word to be noticed or for people to show us the reverence, trust and understanding we deserve. Woman can heal and transform all that surrounds her with her smile. Our power and strength come from manifesting who we truly are: I am a woman, I am a graceful woman. When we hold this consciousness, we excel.
Our challenge as women is not to be defined by the standards of outer beauty that our culture demands of us, but instead to live in contentment, serenity and containment. These qualities build the strength of our Arclines which give us an indescribably beautiful radiance and guide us to victory. It is our time as women to stand tall, walk in our beauty, live in our grace and be the divine leaders of the Aquarian Age and the generations to follow.

Street Vibrations Thunders Back into Reno
The more than 25,000 motorcycle enthusiasts will roar into Reno for Street Vibrations, the 4th largest motorcycle event in the nation, September 21 – 25. Vendors, entertainment and stunt shows are back on the streets of downtown Reno, the Sparks venue has been expanded and Chester's Reno Harley-Davidson and Virginia City will all be rocking with live entertainment and vendors selling all things motorcycle.
Registered Participants will Ride in Style with Preferred Treatment
Anyone can enjoy live entertainment at all Street Vibrations venues, food vendors, motorcycle clothing vendors, aftermarket bike items, and an impressive lineup of concerts, but some thrills are exclusively for registered participants only.
Registered Street Vibrations VIP's go on poker runs and walks and take exclusive tours to various scenic locations. They can participate in ride-in-shows, bike competitions and bike games, getting your bike fix for the weekend. And, you'll be treated like a celebrity as VIPs can enjoy three VIP parties and preferred parking with a 5-day parking pass. The VIP's also receive an official event participant T-shirt and an official event Ride Pin.
Street Vibrations Favorites – you won't want to miss these!
- The tattoo expo is always well attended. If you're after body art, this is the place to have some of the best work in the nation done by some of the finest tattoo artists.
- America's Finest Custom Bike Builders Expo returns to the Silver Legacy's Silver Baron Room – and it's free!
- Sparks Victorian Square will host the factory big rigs. There will be more rigs than ever, more vendors, more food and beverage and more stages for entertainment.
- The Battle Born Derby Demons will again star in an all-girl roller derby match at the Rink on the River in downtown Reno.
- Fireworks will light the sky from the roof of the Silver Legacy on both Friday and Saturday night in downtown Reno.
The Motorcycle Stunt Shows are featuring the nation's biggest show-offs.
- High flying LivFast Freestyle Motocross Aerial Stunt Shows will perform at the Street Vibrations Sparks venue September 22 – 24 with three shows daily.
Team members use mathematical calculations to determine the length and the height of their jumps at each location (even professional bikers use physics after high school).
Typically the riders and their motorcycles fly 70 feet through the air, 40-50 feet off the ground, landing on what appears to be a postage stamp. If that's not electrifying enough, during jumps, team members hang onto motorcycle handlebars, seats and frames, and frequently perform mid-air flips.
- Joining LivFast in Sparks will be JBX Freestyle Motorcycle Stunt Team based out of Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin. Known for their "sick tricks" this impressive sport bike stunt team will have jaws-dropping in the crowd. JBX will perform September 22 – 24 at the Sparks Victorian Square site.
- John Stotts Globe of Death from Las Vegas will perform at break-neck speed inside a steel ball September 22 – 25 in downtown Reno with several shows daily.
"It takes control, speed, balance and timing along with great peripheral vision to avoid mistakes," Stotts says. "The fun part is stopping."
- Hog Town Dance Hall Bar and Grill on the Eldorado Special Events Plaza right in the middle of all the action on Virginia Street near the Reno Arch.
- Bike Corral inside the Reno Ballroom for those who want to sell their motorcycle. This is free for registered motorcycle participants.
- Ceremonial Flag Raisings by the 2/360th Field Artillery Training Support Battalion out of Sharpe Army Depot in the San Joaquin Valley of Calif. are planned at 6 p.m. Friday in Sparks and at 6 p.m. Saturday in downtown Reno.
- A new competition takes center stage on Sat., Sept. 24. Let yourself be heard in Victorian Square in Sparks with the Kuryakyn "Bagger Sound Off" competition. Prizes will be awarded for the best sound system and Best in Show. Register at the Kuryakyn factor rig in Sparks.
- Street Vibrations will be hosting an arm wrestling competition at 1 p.m. Sat., Sept. 24 in the Reno Ballroom. Both men and women are welcome to compete – or to just watch. There will be a trophy for first place in each weight class.
Major Concert Entertainment
- Carlos Santana band featuring Michael Franti and Spearhead will perform at the Reno Events Center in downtown Reno. Tickets range from $49.50 to 99.50.
Bike Giveaways
- Three bikes will be given away in Reno and Sparks. An Arlen Ness Custom Bike will go to the winner at John Ascuaga's Nugget in Sparks on Saturday night. The winner of the Silver Legacy's bike will be named on Sunday afternoon.
Street Vibrations will announce the winner of the Harley-Davidson FXDC Dyna Super Custom on the Jagermeister Super State Sunday at 5 p.m. in Sparks. Tickets for a chance to win the Street Vibrations bike are $5 each. A portion of the proceeds from ticket sales goes to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Institute.

Excited birdwatchers across the UK are traveling hundreds of miles to catch a glimpse of the rare birds. Waxwings turn up in large numbers every few years, and are believed to be signs of rough winter weather ahead.(Photo by Getty Images)

Prince Avalanche (2013)
Prince Avalanche SynopsisAn odd couple of sorts, meditative and stern Alvin and his girlfriends brother, Lance, dopey and insecure, leave the city behind to spend the summer in solitude repainting traffic lines down the center of a country highway ravaged by wildfire. As they sink into their job in the remarkable landscape, they learn more than they want to about each other and their own limitations. An unlikely friendship develops through humor and nasty exchanges, leading to surprising affection. Adapted from Icelandic film Either Way, Prince Avalanche is driven by wonderful performances by Paul Rudd, Emile Hirsch, and Lance LeGault. Writer/director David Gordon Green gets back to his independent roots with this character study, which shows his knack for realistically capturing people and finding meaning in their lives and dreams. With a soundtrack by Explosions in the Sky and David Wingo and gorgeous cinematography by Tim Orr, Prince Avalanche bucks convention by exploring male bonding in a refreshingly genuine way.

ZF-3355: Implement fetchPairs()
Fetching key => value pairs is a common need for every one. Zend_Db_Adapter_Abstract has a convenient fetchPairs() method, and this issue aims to add even more convenient support for this in Zend_Db_Table.
A patch is attached. It works exactly the same as fetchAll(), but it accepts an extra parameter (the first) which has to be an array of the 2 column names.
Usage of $where, $order, $count and $offset parameters to modify the query is depracated in fetchRow() and fetchAll() methods. Wouldn't it make sense for new method to allow passing only Zend_Db_Table_Select instance as no BC break can happen?
Please assign and categorize as necessary. I've already targeted a release, but please update if that schedule is not realistic.
I totally agree with Martin, but that's in the case it will be scheduled for next Major release. (Which is how it's scheduled now).
But if it's going to be in the next minor release, then IMO it should try to be consistent with the rest of the usual fetch* API. Otherwise it would feel like PHP, have to go look up the manual every time... :P
I've attached a patch which accepts Zend_Db_Table_Select instances only.
Working patch is ready for over a year, but not yet in upstream :-( ? This method is quite handy in many cases (e.g. adding multi options to zend_form_element_select), and current state force developers to apply this patch on their own extended classes, or break the zend_db_table paradigm and use directly zend_db->fetchPairs()...
So please, if this patch is ok, would be possible to merge it into zend_db_table?
BTW, instead of direct access to $this->_rowsetClass, the getter class should be used, like this:
Patch for Zend_Db_Table_fetchPairs.patch:
- Zend_Loader::loadClass($this->_rowsetClass);
- return new $this->_rowsetClass($data);
- $rowsetClass = $this->getRowsetClass();
- if (!class_exists($rowsetClass)) {
- require_once 'Zend/Loader.php';
- Zend_Loader::loadClass($rowsetClass);
- }
- return new $rowsetClass($data);
Ehm, maybe this one gets better comments:
- Zend_Loader::loadClass($this->_rowsetClass);
- return new $this->_rowsetClass($data);
+ $rowsetClass = $this->getRowsetClass();
+ if (!class_exists($rowsetClass)) {
+ require_once 'Zend/Loader.php';
+ Zend_Loader::loadClass($rowsetClass);
+ }
+ return new $rowsetClass($data);

Rusty Wallace heads NASCAR Hall of Fame group
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Sprint Cup champion Rusty Wallace hated running second to anyone and doesn't plan to start now that he's part of the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
Wallace, the 1989 series champion who won 55 races, headed the group of five picked Wednesday as NASCAR's newest Hall of Famers. The others selected were Leonard Wood, Herb Thomas, Cotton Owens and Buck Baker.
Wood was a famed member of the Wood Brothers teams whose brother, Glen, was picked for the hall last year. Thomas was one of NASCAR's first superstar drivers, Owens a success as driver and owner, and Baker is 14th on the victory list with 46.
But it was Wallace, the sharp-tongue, quick-witted driver turned TV analyst, who promised to keep promoting the sport and the hall to anyone who'll listen.
"I can tell you what, I'm not going to run second to Darrell Waltrip. I can tell you that," Wallace said.
NASCAR chairman Brian France said the fourth class was the hardest so far to select. Voters said there was a divide between those panelists eager to honor the sports' pioneers and those understanding what a personality like Wallace could do for the Hall and NASCAR's continued growth.
"We need people who can represent the Hall of Fame now," said Hall of Fame member and voter Ned Jarrett.
Still, Wallace was third among inductees at 52 percent of the vote behind Thomas and Wood, who received 57 percent. Owens was next at 50 percent with Baker and Fireball Roberts tying at 39 percent. A re-vote was done - the first time that's happened in four Hall of Fame classes - and Baker took the final spot.
Wallace said he was honored to be nominated and was comfortable waiting his turn behind others.
"I'm total surprised. I really am," he said. "My numbers are one thing and the wins, that's there. But the names, you think of Benny Parsons, you think of Freddy Lorenzen, Fireball Roberts and Wendell Scott, these are guys I grew up listening to."
Wallace thought those were the people who would get in.
"And I was like, I made it? I don't know if I'm going to sleep tonight," he said.
Wallace is ninth on the career victory list. He was a master of the short tracks with 25 of his victories coming at Bristol, Martinsville, North Wilkesboro and Richmond.
"I'm just humbled, I really am," he said.
Wallace's former crew chief, Robin Pemberton, works as NASCAR's vice president for competition and is a Hall of Fame voter who considered his former driver a strong candidate.
"There were a lot more people that had good things to say about Rusty and what he had done after he hung up the helmet. I felt pretty good that he would have enough votes to get in," Pemberton said.
The Wood Brothers team was credited as pioneers of the modern pit stop. Leonard, alongside Glen and Delano Wood, was the team's chief mechanic. Leonard Wood won 96 races and 117 poles in 900 races as a crew chief
Wood compared this moment to February 2011 when the Wood Brothers and driver Trevor Bayne stunned the NASCAR world with a victory at the Daytona 500.
"We won the Daytona 500 the year before last and it was one of the most excited and celebrated winning circles ever - and I think this fits right in with that," he said.
Wood remembered in the early 1960s when he watched drivers like Roberts and Smokey Yunick take 45 seconds in the pits. His mechanical mind got going on how to cut that down and the modern pit stop was taking shape. "We figured we could save a lot of time," Wood said.

If this map is for use in a game and not just being made for fun, consider where you want to start your game, and what things you want to have located there (swamp, forest, mountains, etc.) Start there and spread outward. Also, because it is so earthlike, you should have a good idea where things like mountains should go - and if you do decide to move the mountains, remember that the wet & dry places will move as well.
One thing to remember; if it's a fantasy setting, there would likely be alot more forests in Europe than in the real world - those forests were cut down for centuries to be where they are now. Also, don't worry too much about detail at this scale. You might just make a decision on major features and then zoom into a regional map before adding detail. Remember - anything you do to a region map can be added to the global one later if necessary!
Also, kudos on your coastlines - whenever I try an earthlike map it looks terrible; you did a pretty good job of staying in the 'close but not too close' area, and the coastlines are pretty decent. Above all, know that you have a very good starting place, and while we are looking forward to seeing the finished project, take your time and make sure you get the map you want!

The TYR Freestyle Female Warm Up Jacket will keep you warm after a race.
Love this jacket! ^_^
Because i sized down, this jacket fits perfectly. I ordered this jacket in the color black and in size XSmall even though my usual size is Small or sometimes Medium. But the reviews correctly mentioned that these warm ups tend to fit too big. This XS jacket fits me so well and its very flattering. The material and zipper feel very sturdy. My only one complaint is that the collar does not lay as low as it shows in the picture. It stands up straight basically. I'm hoping that with more wear and wash it will start laying more flat. We shall see. I love this item nonetheless.

All's quiet on the K.C. Front
The trade deadline has passed and the Royals haven't changed.
The quiet from the Kansas City front office says that General Manager Dayton Moore likes this team. Yes, there have been some low points this season. But the team is riding a four-game winning streak and has won five of its last seven, including its first sweep in Oakland in 20 years. With the good vibes rolling today, we're going to look at a few trends and maybe some on-pace numbers…
Winning ways
The Royals have won five of their last six on the road dating back to the All-Star break. If you include their last road game before the break, they've won six of seven.
Billy Butler is hitting
He's got a .289 average and a .578 slugging percentage since the All-Star break. He's had five homers and 15 RBI in July, with four and 14 post-break.
The pitchers are mowing down opponents
Zack Grienke and Brian Bannister set and tied career highs in K's with 11 and seven, respectively, in games one and game three of the Oakland series. As a team, Royals pitchers punched out 31 A's during the series.
The All-Star
At the back of the pen is Joakim Soria – the All-Star. He saved all three games in Oakland and has finished four straight. With today's off day, he should be recharged to face the Sox over the weekend. And yet again, we'd like to make another plea to ESPN's anchor desk. His name is pronounced "Wah-KEEM SOAR-ee-a." Not "Joe-ah-kim" like the former Florida basketball player. The man's an All-Star, treat him like one.
Walking the line
Alex Gordon set a Royals record yesterday with five walks. Gordon didn't record an official at-bat. He is the second player this season to record five in a single game, but the only player to walk five times in only five plate appearances. The Rangers' Milton Bradley walked five times in eight trips to the plate on April 16.
Alex Gordon easily leads the team in walks, with 16 more than Mark Teahen. Gordon is currently at 51 walks and is on pace to have 76. To compare, Teahen is on pace for 52.
The Royals currently have four guys with 10 or more homers. The team has another two players sitting at eight and nine dingers. And then Billy Butler and Mike Aviles, who both have time at Omaha this season, are at six round-trippers. If both keep hitting at the pace they are on right now, they'll reach 10. That amounts to eight Royals with 10-plus home runs.
The 2003 club is the last K.C. team to have eight slug double-digits. Those players were? Carlos Beltran (26), Raul Ibanez (18), Angel Berroa (17), Joe Randa (16), Mike Sweeney (16), Aaron Guiel (15), Ken Harvey (13) and Michael Tucker (13). The '03 squad ended with 162 home runs for the year.
Butler has played 80 games and according to pace numbers should hit 10 exactly. Around the Horn would like to predict a few more because of his July numbers – five homers in 25 games would be a pace for 32 in a season, which projects to 10.6 over the remaining 53 games.
To be fair, we'll look at a few predictions for pitching. Joakim Soria, who we talked about earlier this season when he tied Jeff Montgomery's 1993 pre-All-Star game save record (25), is on pace for 45 saves. He'll stencil his name into the record books again with that total. It would tie the club record, set by Montgomery in '93 and Dan Quisenberry in 1983. Monty had an 88.2 save percentage and Quiz ended '83 with an 84.9. Soria is at 93.7 after saving 30 of 32 games.
Ron Mahay, maybe the most reliable man in the bullpen aside from Soria, has 18 holds this year. That's already third on the Royals all-time list. At his current pace, he'll reach 27 (26.7) which would fall one short of the team record of 28, set by Jason Grimsley in 2003.
One more note to think about, Zack Greinke has 125 strikeouts. That's a pace for 186 (185.6, but you round up when talking about the kind of stuff he has), which would place him tied for eighth in the Royals record books.
This weekend
An exciting nine-game homestand starts tomorrow with Ken Griffey, Jr. and the White Sox. Yep, the "kid" and his 600+ homers will make his first appearance at "The K" since 1999. Saturday has a lot going for it. It's Military Apprecitation Day with camo caps to the first 20,000. It's a FOX national broadcast and a 2:55 start time.

SIGHTING: Broddick in Hawaii, A-Rod offers man-candy moment
Andy Roddick + wifey Brooklyn Decker were spotted grabbing some sun on a beach in Hawaii on Tuesday. Brooklyn was shooting scenes for her upcoming movie Just Go With It starring rom-com queen Jennifer Aniston + Adam Sandler. The pair were also celebrating their 1-year anniversary.
Not that it really matters to me but why is Brooklyn, the 2010 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover girl, fully clothed on a beach? Maybe she just stepped off the set or something. Anyway, I'd be truly concerned if A-Rod was covered up but luckily he's not, showing us all who owns the real curves in this relationship (try not to stare at those ass-ets - I dare you.)
He's playing the role of trophy wife extremely well, huh?
More of A-Rod's man-candy moment below...

Hmm, I still don't find Andy attractive, although the assets are pretty hawt.ReplyDelete
Brooklyn, on the other hand, is smokin'.
Yeah sometimes I see him and I think he's super cute and then sometimes I don't, depending on the angle. But the body? Mos def, espesh the calves. Yums.ReplyDelete
I could do without the crotch scratching. Believe A-Rod, I don't need to be reminded where your junk lives.

He looks like a rat/oppossum to me but I didn't know his butt was sooo big and juicy!!!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousApril 22, 2010 at 3:19 PM
Yeah, I agree with all the comments -- he's physically fine, but he's not aging all that well.ReplyDelete
I once heard him say in an interview that he thought his best days were behind him in terms of looks.
Sadly, he's not wrong, but at least the self-deprecating humor is alive and kickin'
Of course, I can't drool over that, so it will only get him so far. ;)
whoa! who knew Andy had a booty to rival Rafa?ReplyDelete

text: Photo Gallery Fort Sumter Pictures: Destruction of 1st Civil War Battlefield Famous as the site of the first shots of the Civil War, Fort Sumter actually faced its toughest tests years into the conflict. PUBLISHED April 12, 2011 0 1 / 10 Fort Sumter and Charleston Harbor The April 1861 bombardment and surrender of Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor (map)—pictured in 1863—had transformed the fort into a household name and a patriotic symbol for both sides in the U.S. Civil War. (Read "Fort Sumter: How Civil War Began With a Bloodless Battle.") For well over a year after the Confederates had taken control of the fort as well as the rest of Charleston, South Carolina, and its defenses saw little of the Northern enemy, other than the distant masts of the federal blockading fleet that lay in wait off the coast. (Read "Civil War Battlefields" in National Geographic magazine.)But the 1861 battle would prove to be only the first chapter in Fort Sumter's trial by fire. Along with the rest of the Confederate-held Charleston defenses, the fort became a major target of Union forces attempting to seal off the Atlantic coastline.After a series of minor attacks in 1862, the full force of federal naval and ground forces were thrown against Fort Sumter in the spring of 1863. Over the next 20 months, the Confederates put up a stubborn defense, which inflicted heavy casualties on Union attackers, while giving up only the most exposed positions.In the end, Charleston fell only when the last phase of Union general William Tecumseh Sherman's famous "March to the Sea" cut the city off from the rest of the dying Confederacy.Federal forces began moving into the now defenseless city in February 1865 and took possession of Fort Sumter without a fight on February 22.After all the blood that had been shed to take the fort by force, some came to question the whole Union strategy that had driven the preceding campaigns. In the end, however, there was mostly great relief that no more had to die.With the fort so badly battered, there was little the occupiers could do with the great pile of rubble that was once Fort Sumter. Still, its capture had great symbolic power, and within weeks Northern photographers flocked to Charleston to capture scenes of the prize.On April 14, 1865, Union general Robert Anderson, who had commanded the fort during the 1861 attack, returned for a ceremony in which Fort Sumter's original U.S. flag was raised once more over the stronghold. During the fireworks held that evening to close the celebration, word came that President Lincoln had been shot.The hand-drawn depiction of Charleston Harbor above was created by an unknown soldier early in the opening phase of the federal offensive in the spring of 1863. The view looks north across the mouth of the harbor from a position down the coast on Morris Island (map). The lonely but dominant presence of Fort Sumter looms prominently in the middle distance.MORE FORT SUMTER AND CIVIL WAR COVERAGEFull Coverage: Civil War SesquicentennialPictures: Fort Sumter—Defiance and Destruction (1862-1865)Top Ten U.S. Civil War SitesKids Civil War QuizU.S. Civil War Prison Camps Claimed ThousandsCivil War Wreck Rises Again: Restoring the MonitorHunley Findings Put Faces on Civil War SubmarineGettysburg: From Battlefield to Civil War ShrineCivil War Sub May Have Been Downed by Unsealed Hatch Image Courtesy Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division 1863 Barrage on Fort Sumter Confederate-held Fort Sumter faced its first major trial on April 7, 1863, when it was surrounded and hammered at close range by a squadron of federal ironclads. The fort took over 50 hits from heavy naval guns.The barrage cratered the ramparts but didn't seriously impair Fort Sumter's fighting ability. The fort's guns fired over 2,000 shells, driving off the enemy ships with enough of a beating that the vessels could not make another attack.(See Civil War reenactment pictures.) Image Courtesy Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division Fort Sumter, 1864 As this Confederate officer's drawing starkly records, Fort Sumter appeared to be little more than a ruin by 1864. Despite this devastation, there were still operational gun positions on the lowermost tier and reinforced bombproof shelters that protected men and munitions.The Southern soldiers who garrisoned this desolate outpost suffered from the elements, depravation, and enemy fire, but the Confederates refused to give Fort Sumter up until after the fall of Charleston in February 1865.(Related: "Civil War at 150: Expect Subdued Salutes, Rising Voices.") Image Courtesy Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division Battered Fort Sumter, 1863 English artist Frank Vizetelly covered the fighting in Charleston through most of 1863 and produced many eyewitness drawings of the war-ravaged harbor.This colored sketch of a battered but still defiant Fort Sumter became one of the most enduring scenes of the doomed effort to hold the fort for the Confederacy.(Interactive Map: Battlefields of the Civil War.) Image Courtesy Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division Three-Gun Battery, Fort Sumter An 1864 engraving by an unknown Southern artist shows Fort Sumter's so-called Three-Gun Battery, which proved to be one of the strongest positions in the fort.The print, from a December 1863 drawing, bears the endorsement of Confederate general P.G.T. Beauregard, the overall commander of the Charleston defenses through much of the siege. Although somewhat stylized, the print includes a realistic portrayal of one of the artillerymen trying to keep warm with a tattered blanket. Image Courtesy Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division Fort Sumter's Interior, 1863 A rare photograph taken on September 8, 1863, by a Charleston photographer captured Fort Sumter's ruined interior just as a shell burst over one of the walls.By this point, most of the fort's upper levels were just piles of rubble that could be used only as observation platforms or as light gun positions. The small garrison took shelter in the lowermost level, where the men could count on reasonably good protection but little else. Image Courtesy Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division Fort Sumter, 1863 Originally thought to have been taken by a Northern photographer after the recapture of the Fort Sumter in 1865, this August 1863 picture is now known to be one of the few taken by a Southern photographer during the Civil War.Fort Sumter is pictured not long after it had been pulverized by the all-out Union bombardment that forced the removal of most of the garrison and all but a few of the heavy guns. Image Courtesy Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division Reinforcing Fort Sumter Fort Sumter's devastated interior was the subject of many photographs after the North had recaptured the fort in April 1865. This one shows signs of the early attempts by the new Union garrison to strengthen and clean up the ruins.The walls have been partially reinforced by huge, rubble-filled wicker baskets, while work is nearly complete on the platform (right) that will be used for the ceremonial flag raising on April 14, 1865. Image Courtesy Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division Matthew Brady at Fort Sumter? The new Union occupants could not even begin to restore the original heavy gun positions at Fort Sumter, shown in the background in March 1865. Instead, they built a makeshift fortification on the side of the fort using palmetto logs (visible on the fort's exterior).This view was taken at low tide, from an exposed sandbar that runs across a part of the Charleston Harbor entrance. The figure on the far right is probably Mathew Brady, who later in the war had taken to posing in some of his own company's photographs. Image Courtesy Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division Fort Sumter Ceremony, 1864 On the fourth anniversary of the 1861 surrender of Fort Sumter—and of the start of the Civil War—the fort's former commander, Robert Anderson, now an ailing Civil War hero, served as the guest of honor at a ceremony to formally reclaim his post.As part of the event, Anderson raised the fort's original Union flag once again. Later that evening, during the fireworks display over the fort, word came that President Lincoln had been shot. The terrible irony of this anniversary escaped no one.

http://youtu.be/2uggyRBVRAY

Kids are welcome! We frequently bring our kids to play board games like Dominion, Heroscape, Smallword, Sorry, and Pokemon TCG amongst themselves or play Warhammer if they are up to it!

James T. Kirk (alternate reality)
this wiki
(split 2233)
James Tiberius Kirk was a 23rd century Human Federation Starfleet officer. As a Starfleet cadet, he was instrumental in the defeat and death of Nero, a Romulan bent on the obliteration of the entire United Federation of Planets. As a result, he was commissioned directly to the rank of captain and appointed as commanding officer of the service's flagship, the USS Enterprise. (Star Trek)
A year later in 2259, Kirk faced Khan, an enhanced Human from the late 20th century with superior strength and intellect. However, the crew of the Enterprise managed to stop him, following the sacrifice of Kirk. Spock managed to capture Khan with the help of Uhura and Dr. McCoy managed to revive Kirk. Afterwards, the Enterprise set out on the first five-year mission. (Star Trek Into Darkness)
Early lifeEdit
James Tiberius ("Jim") Kirk was a Human descendant of European settlers on Earth's American continent, who pioneered the western frontiers of the United States of America in the 19th century. (TOS: "Spectre of the Gun") The son of Starfleet officer George Kirk, first officer of the USS Kelvin and his wife Winona Kirk, he was born aboard the Kelvin's medical shuttle no. 37, in the midst of an unprovoked attack on the Kelvin by the Narada, a 24th century Romulan mining vessel commanded by Nero. Winona had been evacuated from the severely-crippled Kelvin along with the rest of the crew and gave birth to James while George Kirk died piloting the Kelvin into the Narada in a kamikaze attack. He was named James Tiberius after Winona's father and George's father, respectively.
Jim was raised in Iowa, in Midwestern North America, on Earth. His mother remarried. As a young boy, Jim had a somewhat rebellious streak in him as he once, for example, stole his stepfather's 1965 Chevy Corvette convertible, drove it recklessly, got into a high speed chase with local police, then nearly died when he barely managed to jump out, as he drove the car into a quarry. As he grew up, he had little sense of purpose and by 2255, he was an aimless rebel who had found himself on the wrong side of the law on more than one occasion.
While visiting a bar near the Riverside Shipyard, an inebriated Jim met and began flirting with a Starfleet cadet named Nyota Uhura. Although annoyed by Jim's advances, Uhura was surprised that Jim knew what was involved in the study of xenolinguistics. Moments later, Jim engaged in a bar fight with three male cadets, including Hendorff, who were irritated at his cocky attitude and the attention he was giving Uhura. He was ultimately overwhelmed by the cadets until Captain Christopher Pike broke up the fight. Pike, who wrote his dissertation on the USS Kelvin and was familiar with Jim's story pushed the young man to challenge himself and reach the greater potential he was capable of achieving, calling him "the only genius level repeat offender in the Midwest".
Pike tried to persuade him to join Starfleet, firmly believing that he could do more with himself than get into bar fights and break all the laws in the state of Iowa. Kirk laughed at the idea of joining Starfleet, but Pike reassured him that with his "off-the-chart" aptitude he could make captain and have his own ship in only eight years. He reminded him that his father had saved eight-hundred lives, including Jim's and his mother's, and dared young Kirk to do better.
Soon after their conversation, and to the surprise of Pike, Jim decided to enlist with the intent of completing the Academy training in three years. He rode onto the shipyard, gave his bike to a construction worker, and boarded a shuttle for new recruits heading to Starfleet Academy. It was on his trip to the Academy where he first met and befriended Doctor Leonard McCoy.
Starfleet AcademyEdit
Kirk and McCoy became close friends at the Academy, though Kirk frequently exasperated McCoy with his maverick nature. Kirk had an eye for attractive female cadets and he once ended up in the dormitory of an Orion female cadet named Gaila. He was caught and hid under the bed when her roommate, Cadet Uhura, arrived unexpectedly. On discovering him, she angrily threw him out.
It was at the Academy that Kirk also met Commander Spock. Kirk had failed the Kobayashi Maru examination twice but decided to take it a third time, being sure that he would succeed. He eventually managed to cheat the test and won. Spock, who programmed the "no-win scenario", later investigated the matter.
While discussing his cheating ways with the head of the Starfleet Academy Board, Admiral Richard Barnett, Kirk argued that the test itself was a cheat, and stated that he didn't believe in the no-win scenario. Kirk asked to face his accuser, and Spock stepped up. This was the first time the two met and clashed over their differences.
Kirk and Spock continued to engage in a heated argument (the accused becoming particularly agitated when Spock suggested that, "of all people", George Kirk's son should recognize the no-win scenario), when the hearing was suddenly interrupted after Starfleet received a distress call from Vulcan.
USS EnterpriseEdit
Many of the cadets were called into action after the news but Kirk – who had been suspended because of his recent academic dishonesty charges – was not allowed to join. McCoy, however, was able to get him aboard the Enterprise by injecting him with a vaccine that temporarily rendered him sick so he could be transferred to the ship on medical grounds.
Kirk tried telling Captain Pike and Spock about Nero's attack and his trap and with the help of McCoy and Uhura he was able to convince Pike about the trap. Pike raised the Enterprise's shields as they entered the Vulcan system, only to find a massive debris field of destroyed Federation starships having been attacked by Nero.
As Pike was en route to a shuttlecraft to negotiate with Nero, he appointed Kirk as acting first officer under Spock and volunteered Kirk to disable the Narada's drill platform.
First officerEdit
Along with Chief Engineer Olson and Lieutenant Hikaru Sulu, Kirk skydived onto the platform. Olson was vaporized by the drill, leaving only Kirk and Sulu to disable it. Facing off against two of Nero's crew, Kirk and Sulu eventually killed both of their adversaries before destroying the platform, but not in time to prevent Nero from successfully completing his plan to destroy the planet Vulcan.
Before returning to the Enterprise, Sulu fell off of the drill platform and began plummeting toward the surface of Vulcan. Kirk jumped off the platform to save him. After intercepting Sulu, Kirk had the helmsman pull his parachute, but it was knocked off, leaving them both in free fall. However, Ensign Pavel Chekov managed to compensate for Vulcan's gravitational pull and beamed both of them on board. Kirk attempted to dissuade Commander Spock from a rendezvous with the rest of Starfleet at the Laurentian system. He urged him to go after the Narada as the ship left for Earth rather than waste time trying to gather additional forces in the opposite direction, but Spock was relentless. When Kirk became more and more heated in his objections, Spock finally ordered Kirk's removal from the bridge, knocked him out and threw him off the ship in an escape pod.
Marooned on Delta Vega Edit
Kirk landed on Delta Vega, some 14 kilometers away from a Starfleet outpost. Despite an inhospitable environment, he left his escape pod and soon was chased by an indigenous animal which was dispatched by an even larger predatory creature. When Kirk fled into a nearby cave, the creature was scared away by an elderly Vulcan man, who revealed himself to be Spock from a future timeline. Though Kirk initially dismissed this as "bullshit" – he changed his mind when the old man demonstrated his knowledge of Nero. The elderly Spock revealed to Kirk through a mind meld Nero's intentions, also telling him that in his timeline, Kirk was the captain of the Enterprise. Understanding that their only hope was to have the Enterprise pursue the Narada instead of returning to the fleet, they realized that they had to get the other Spock to step down from command.
Fortunately, while the Enterprise had long since left the system, Spock was aware that one of the officers at the nearby outpost was Montgomery Scott, who in his universe had devised a way to beam onto a ship at warp speeds. Giving Scott his own equations a century ahead of schedule, before beaming the pair onto the Enterprise, Spock advised Jim to elicit an emotional reaction from the young Spock so that everyone could see that he was emotionally compromised and not fit for command, stating that the only way to defeat Nero was for Jim to take command of the ship himself.
Acting CaptainEdit
Following the advice of Ambassador Spock, Kirk goaded Spock with assertions that Spock cared nothing for what had happened to Vulcan or the death of his mother, whom he accused Spock of never having loved. The last remark did the job and Spock violently attacked Kirk, nearly to the point of killing him, before Sarek stepped in and stopped him. Spock immediately relinquished command. Kirk, as acting first officer, took command and ordered pursuit course of the Narada to Earth.
Spock, deferring to Kirk as captain, successfully beamed onto the Narada with Kirk. After an intense firefight in which they killed several Romulans, they made it to the elder Spock's ship. Upon being identified as its pilot, Spock quickly realized exactly who Kirk's unknown benefactor had been. Leaving Spock to secure the ship, Kirk went to retrieve Captain Pike.
In searching for the captain he encountered Nero and his first officer Ayel. The pair easily overpowered him, but when Nero, after boasting that he would kill Kirk just like he did his father, discovered that Spock had destroyed the drill, he furiously returned to the bridge. Initially, Kirk was no match for Ayel either, but the overconfident Romulan was too busy mocking his "weak" victim to notice the theft of his disruptor. Offered the chance to speak, Kirk's "last words" were "I got your gun!" and the Romulan Ayel was shot point-blank at the chest. After retrieving Pike – who repaid his defenseless savior by grabbing the stolen disruptor and gunning down two Romulans walking in on the escape – and against Spock's advice once again, Kirk decided to give Nero and his remaining crew a chance to beam to the Enterprise and surrender. After Nero strongly declined, Kirk decided to fire all weapons and the Narada was finally destroyed in a massive black hole created by red matter it was carrying. The Enterprise was nearly destroyed as well, but Kirk had Scott eject the ship's multiple warp cores and detonate them, creating a blast wave that was strong enough to push the Enterprise out of danger.
Captain of the USS EnterpriseEdit
Upon his return to Earth, Kirk was commended and officially appointed as captain of the Enterprise by Admiral Barnett for his actions, which demonstrated his ability as an extremely able commanding officer fully capable of leading a Federation starship crew in the most dire of situations.
Dressed in his new captain's uniform, Kirk took command of the Enterprise. Commander Spock arrived and requested the permanent post as Kirk's first officer, which Kirk was honored to accept. He sat down in his chair and, officially as captain of the Enterprise, led his crew and ship to another adventure. (Star Trek)
A year later, Kirk violated the Prime Directive on Nibiru, saving Spock's life from a cold fusion device detonation inside a volcano. During the rescue, the Enterprise was exposed to the primitive Nibirans, who began worshiping the ship as a god. Returning to Earth, Pike informed Kirk the Admiralty headed by Alexander Marcus would be sending him back to the Academy, and that perhaps he had been promoted too soon. That night, Kirk drowned his sorrows in a bar, when Pike appeared to inform he had convinced Marcus to let him appoint Kirk his first officer, because he still had faith in the young man.
Pursuing "John Harrison"Edit
The two then attended a summit in the Daystrom Conference Room at Starfleet Headquarters regarding the bombing of the Kelvin Memorial Archive in London. Marcus ordered a manhunt for the perpetrator, a rogue commander named John Harrison. Kirk analyzed surveillance of Harrison at the debris site, and questioned why Harrison bombed an archive for the information he needed. He then realized Harrison would be aware protocol dictated such an attack would precipitate meetings like these: Harrison then showed up in an jumpship and opened fire.
Kirk wrapped a fire hose around a rifle and threw it into the jumpship's engine, causing it to crash. Before it did, Harrison glared at Kirk and beamed himself away. Kirk returned to the conference room to find Spock with Pike, who had died of a chest wound, and mourned his friend's death. The next morning, Scott informed Kirk that Harrison had used a portable transwarp beaming device to escape to Qo'noS, the homeworld of the Klingon Empire. Kirk informed Marcus, who explained the Archive was actually a Section 31 facility, which Harrison needed to steal the beaming device from. Marcus reinstated Kirk, giving him permission to hunt down and execute Harrison, and allowed him to reinstate Spock as his first officer.
To execute Harrison, Marcus gave the Enterprise 72 advanced long-range torpedoes to bombard Harrison's location from orbit, and assigned weapons expert Carol Wallace to the Enterprise. At a hangar, McCoy expressed his belief that Harrison was out of Kirk's league, while Spock protested executing Harrison without trial was immoral. Aboard the ship, Scott protested about not being allowed to examine the torpedoes, and not having time to examine the faulty new warp core. Kirk accepted Scott and Keenser's resignation, and appointed Chekov to replace Scott. Dejected, Kirk decided to listen to Spock and Scott's advice and announced they would find Harrison and bring him back for a tribunal.
Before reaching Qo'noS, the Enterprise's warp core broke down, so Kirk took an away team with Spock, Uhura, and Hendorff, disguised as K'normian arms dealers, to find Harrison. Acting captain Sulu sent a targeted comm burst to John Harrison's location. Kirk's ship was attacked by a Klingon patrol, and despite maneuvering it through a narrowing gate, they found themselves surrounded. Kirk allowed Uhura to exit the ship and negotiate with the Klingons in their native language, but they refused to listen and tried to kill her. Before Kirk and Spock could come out firing phasers, Harrison appeared and single-handedly killed all the Klingons. Kirk accepted Harrison's surrender, but spitefully punched him, only to find his continuous blows had no effect on him.
Uncovering a conspiracyEdit
In the ship's brig, Kirk and Spock interrogated Harrison while Bones took a blood sample, which he studied by injecting into a dead tribble. Harrison only responded by giving Kirk a set of coordinates, and advised the captain to open one of the torpedoes. Spock informed Kirk that Wallace could examine the torpedoes, and also informed the captain that he had learned she was actually Admiral Marcus's daughter, because he felt the information had just become relevant. Kirk also called Scott via a communicator and asked him to investigate the coordinates.
McCoy and Carol Marcus took a shuttle to a meteor to examine a torpedo, but McCoy accidentally activated the countdown and trapped his hand in the device. Kirk ordered to beam them up, but was warned by Spock that beaming up McCoy would also beam up an exploding torpedo. Fortunately, Kirk avoided losing his friend when Carol deactivated the device with less than three seconds to spare. The torpedo finally opened up, and the two officers found it contained a man in cryogenic stasis.
Kirk interrogated Harrison again, who explained he had placed people in torpedoes to smuggle them before he was caught. He revealed he was actually the infamous Khan Noonien Singh, recruited by Admiral Marcus under a new identity to design weaponry and ships for war against the Klingons, and that the frozen people were his fellow Augments whom the admiral had held hostage. Marcus suddenly showed up in the Dreadnought-class ship the USS Vengeance, demanding Kirk hand over Harrison. Kirk revealed he knew the truth, and defied the admiral by having Sulu warp the Enterprise back to Earth, where Khan would stand trial and expose the conspiracy. However, the Vengeance was capable of catching up with the Enterprise in subspace and fired on the ship, halting it as it arrived outside Earth, near the moon.
Carol tried to bargain with her father, who simply beamed her over to his ship, and then Kirk tried to hand himself over to protect his crew, but Marcus explained he had no intention of letting anyone in on the plot survive. Before the Vengeance could finish off the Enterprise, its weaponry suddenly deactivated. Scott called Kirk, explaining he had stowed away aboard the Vengeance at the coordinates given by Khan, buying them some time. Kirk, realizing Khan designed the ship, allied himself with him, and the two donned thruster suits to fly over and commandeer the vessel. Khan's formidable strength was an asset in dispatching any guards they encountered, but Kirk was suspicious of Khan's motives and ordered Scott to shoot to stun him later.
When they reached the bridge, Scott stunned Khan while Kirk confronted Marcus over his betrayal of Starfleet's ideals. However, stunning Khan did not affect him, and the Augment tackled Scott and Kirk before proceeding to kill Marcus and take the command chair. Khan ordered Spock to hand over the torpedoes, which he complied with, and in return he beamed Kirk, Scott, and Carol into the Enterprise brig. Khan then turned on Spock, bombarding the Enterprise once more. Spock, who had the cryo pods removed from the torpedoes, ordered them to be detonated, severely crippling the Vengeance; the shockwave caused both ships to be pulled by Earth's gravity. Kirk and Scott ran to the warp core, trying to avoid falling to their deaths due to the Enterprise's failing artificial gravity.
Death and ResurrectionEdit
Once they reached the warp core, Scott warned entering it would flood the chamber with radiation, but as there was no time to put on a containment suit, Kirk knocked out Scott and secured him with a seatbelt before entering the warp core. Kirk knocked the central component back in place, restoring power to the engines and preventing the Enterprise from crashing. Meanwhile, Khan crashed the Vengeance into Starfleet Headquarters in San Francisco. Scott woke up and called Spock to come down, and saw Jim dying from radiation poisoning. Jim bid goodbye to his friend, displaying the Vulcan salute with his hand on the glass door, then died. Jim heard the voices of his father, mother and Pike as he lay in the border between the world of the living and the dead.
He was taken to medbay after decontamination, where McCoy and others silently mourned the loss of their captain. McCoy noticed the tribble he had injected with Khan's blood had come back to life, and realizing how to save Kirk's life, ordered his body be placed in a cryotube to preserve his brain functions. Spock and Uhura beamed down and apprehended Khan, using him to perform a blood transfusion before putting him on ice once more. Kirk awoke two weeks later in a hospital in San Francisco, with McCoy and Spock present.
The five-year missionEdit
Nearly a year after the events, Kirk presided over the rechristening ceremony of the Enterprise and memorial service to those who lost their lives in terrorist acts committed by Khan, before setting off on Starfleet's first five-year mission. (Star Trek Into Darkness)
Kirk initially had a largely antagonistic relationship with Spock, mainly due to their vastly different philosophies and approaches to command. The frictions began first at Starfleet Academy when Kirk cheated on the Kobayashi Maru test Spock had designed, and then later continued when the disparate pair worked side by side on the USS Enterprise and Kirk was put in charge as second in command by Captain Pike. Tensions between the two culminated in Spock throwing Kirk off the ship altogether. However, their attitudes towards each other softened after an encounter with an older version of Spock from an alternate future, who revealed that in fact the two had shared a great friendship in his timeline. After Kirk goaded Spock into revealing his emotional instability, Spock nearly killed Kirk in a rage before doing exactly as Kirk wanted and stepping down, putting Kirk in charge of the ship. After regaining emotional equilibrium, Spock deferred to Kirk's command and the two worked as a team to stop Nero and rescue Pike with Spock trusting Kirk to watch his back and even calling him "Jim" at one point. After learning how important their friendship was from Spock Prime, Spock offered to be Kirk's first officer which he happily accepted. (Star Trek)
A year later, Kirk fell out with Spock because Spock filed the mission report that caused Kirk's demotion, although Kirk's actions leading to this disciplinary were done to save Spock's life: Spock was more concerned with fulfilling Starfleet regulations than with sentimental notions though he was relieved that Kirk was just demoted and not more severely punished. When split up, Kirk told Spock he'd miss him leaving Spock speechless and Kirk somewhat annoyed. However, Kirk wanted Spock reinstated as his first officer after Pike's death. Kirk later explained to Spock that the reason he saved Spock's life was because he had come to see Spock as a friend. By this point, Spock had come to return the sentiment and was so upset by Kirk's impending death that he lost his temper and nearly killed Khan in revenge until he learned that Khan's blood would save Kirk. Spock and Kirk also realized that they each had handled the situation in the way the other would: Kirk sacrificed himself for the greater good, whereas Spock used unorthodox tactics to defeat the enemy. (Star Trek Into Darkness)
Leonard McCoyEdit
Kirk and McCoy met on a transport shuttle to Starfleet Academy. The pair found themselves in adjacent seats where a slightly neurotic McCoy instantly opened up to the rebellious and somewhat incredulous Kirk. The two remained good friends throughout their time together at the Academy. Kirk began calling McCoy the nickname of "Bones" as the doctor had informed him when they first met that his ex-wife took everything in their divorce; all he had left was his bones. When the time came, McCoy always had Kirk's back, such as helping him get aboard the Enterprise after his suspension and berating Spock for throwing Kirk off the ship and marooning him on Delta Vega. Despite this, McCoy berated him for forcing Spock to resign command and responded with "you gotta be kidding me!" when he learned Kirk was first officer and thus the one to take command. (Star Trek)
A year later, McCoy accompanied Kirk to Nibiru and they both ran away from the planet's angry natives when Kirk stole their sacred scroll. They both jumped off of a cliff into the ocean during the pursuit and swam to the Enterprise, much to McCoy's chagrin. Later, after Kirk was caught in John's Harrison's attack on Starfleet Headquarters, McCoy tried many times to scan Kirk for injuries, but Kirk ignored him, even when McCoy told him his vital signs were way off. When the Enterprise arrived at Qo'noS to apprehend Harrison, McCoy inundated Kirk with metaphors – when the Enterprise's warp core malfunctioned, "you don't rob a bank when the getaway car has a flat tire", or when Sulu took command, "you just sat that man down at a high-stakes poker game with no cards and told him to bluff." Kirk asked McCoy to dispense with the metaphors, calling it an order. Following this, Kirk was killed while sacrificing himself repairing the warp core to save his crew. McCoy was saddened at the death of his friend but noticed that the dead tribble he injected with Khan's blood was alive again. McCoy had Kirk put in stasis and later performed a blood transfusion, which saved Kirk's life. (Star Trek Into Darkness)
Nyota UhuraEdit
Kirk first met Nyota Uhura at a bar in Iowa in 2255, audaciously flirting with her while intoxicated, angering some other Starfleet cadet patrons of the bar, resulting in a fight. He met her again when the two studied at Starfleet Academy, although she preferred to keep a distance from him – not even ever telling him her first name – as she saw him as brash and uncouth. Trying to learn Uhura's first name became almost a mission for him. The pair ended up serving together aboard the Enterprise, but she continued to maintain her distance from him. It was Kirk and his need for a xenolinguist that got her stationed on the bridge. Over the course of the mission, she gained some respect for him though was not pleased with his tactic of forcing Spock to relinquish command. Uhura was the first to call Kirk Captain, though it was sarcastically done. When Kirk was granted permanent command of the Enterprise, he chose Uhura as one of his senior officers. He also appeared stunned that her first name was Nyota. (Star Trek)
Over time, her discomfort vanished and she began to show unwavering loyalty to her new captain. The two developed a friendship to the point that Uhura confided in him her relationship troubles with Spock. When Pike was killed, Uhura sincerely offered her condolences and concern for the captain. When Kirk died, Uhura cried and helped Spock bring Khan down while preventing him from killing him so they could save Kirk. (Star Trek Into Darkness)
Christopher PikeEdit
Kirk and Christopher Pike almost had a father–son relationship: Pike was the one who convinced Kirk to enlist in Starfleet and to make something of himself, and even after Pike had to demote Kirk for contravening regulations, Pike wanted Kirk as his own first officer and did his best to encourage Kirk despite this setback. Kirk was later informed that Pike had done a lot to speak in Kirk's favor during the disciplinary hearing. When Khan Noonien Singh attacked the meeting of senior staff of Starfleet in San Francisco, Pike was killed, and Kirk was distraught, weeping at the loss of his mentor and becoming consumed with vengeance. (Star Trek; Star Trek Into Darkness)
Montgomery ScottEdit
Kirk's relationship with Montgomery Scott began after he met the future Enterprise chief engineer on the planet Delta Vega. While marooned on Delta Vega, Kirk unwittingly sought, with the help of the future Spock, the Scotsman's help to return to the USS Enterprise while it was still warping to rendezvous with the fleet in the Laurentian system. He quickly learned that Scott was wiser than he lead on, after first impressions belied the fact that he had begun to postulate the theory of transwarp beaming while still on active duty (misplacing Admiral Archer's beagle Porthos in the process, earning his isolation to Delta Vega).
With the aid of his transwarp beaming theory (and the future Spock) Kirk, along with Scott, managed to beam aboard the Enterprise, which was mid warp flight. Once on board the Enterprise, Scott had been inadvertently beamed straight into the ship's internal water recycling system. Following quick work by Kirk, Scott was freed, and they both tried to make their way out of engineering, only to be captured by security officers, sent by Spock, who was on the bridge.
Once on the bridge of the Enterprise, Scott was witness to Kirk's field promotion to captain, and was then instrumental in the efforts to sneak up on the war criminal Nero's ship, by helping to increase warp speed to factor 4 and to beam both Kirk and the newly-reinstated Spock onto the Narada while in the moon Titan's upper atmosphere. (Star Trek)
A year later, Scott and Kirk had somewhat of a falling out over what to do with the torpedoes that were given to the Enterprise by Admiral Marcus. But following the defeat of Khan and the death of Admiral Marcus, Scott returned to his post as chief engineer on the Enterprise. (Star Trek Into Darkness)
Hikaru SuluEdit
Kirk seemed to have been surprised at Hikaru Sulu's special training in close-hand combat, specializing in fencing. Kirk committed a selfless act when he dove off the drill platform to save Hikaru Sulu from death on Vulcan. When Kirk appointed himself as acting captain, Sulu reminded everyone that he was already first officer and therefore was able to take over the Captain's position on the Enterprise. Following the defeat of Nero, Sulu was assigned to the Enterprise as Helmsman under Kirk's command. (Star Trek)
A year later, Kirk showed confidence in Sulu's leadership skills and left him in command of the Enterprise while Kirk led an away team to apprehend John Harrison. (Star Trek Into Darkness)
Nero killed Kirk's father George in 2233. Despite this, Kirk was willing to offer assistance to his father's killer when his ship was caught in between a black hole created by the remaining red matter. However, the Romulan refused his assistance and stated that he'd "rather suffer the end of Romulus a thousand times" and "die in agony". Kirk obliged him by completing the destruction of the Narada as it was consumed by the black hole. (Star Trek)
Khan Noonien SinghEdit
Under the identity of John Harrison, Khan killed Christopher Pike and other members of Starfleet in 2259, causing Kirk to seek revenge. Eventually capturing Khan, they soon learned of his true identity and the fact that he had aided Admiral Marcus in the building of Starfleet weapons. Teaming with Khan to stop Marcus, Khan eventually betrayed Kirk to overtake the USS Vengeance. Khan killed Marcus and attacked the Enterprise, leading to Kirk's sacrifice to save the crew. Khan was eventually captured due to efforts by Spock and Uhura and put back into suspended animation. Kirk was soon revived by McCoy with Khan's blood. (Star Trek Into Darkness)
Alexander MarcusEdit
Despite Marcus's demotion of Kirk, in their early meetings the two had what could have been described as grandfather-grandson relationship. However, after Khan confessed his role in the Admiral's plot to wage war with the Klingons, Kirk began to doubt the Admiral and viewed him as a war criminal. Marcus himself did not have an antagonistic relationship with Kirk until the Captain lied and tried to warp Khan and the Enterprise to Earth, though he later outright admitted that he was going to kill him and the Enterprise's crew from the start of the mission he assigned them to. To cover up the conspiracy, Marcus branded Kirk as "having gone rogue" when he attempted to warn Starfleet. Their last meeting occurred when Kirk tried to arrest him for high treason, with the Admiral openly mocking Kirk's naivete. The relationship ended when Khan crushed Marcus' skull in revenge for treating him like a slave. (Star Trek Into Darkness)
Kirk had a relationship with Gaila, Uhura's Orion roommate at the Academy. However, when she professed her love for him in bed, he responded it was "weird". (Star Trek)
Kirk also had a relationship with Christine Chapel, a Human nurse. After it ended, she moved from the Enterprise to nurse on the outer frontier. When Carol Marcus brought her up in a conversation, he did not seem to remember her.
On his return to Earth in 2259, Kirk slept with Caitian twin sisters in his apartment.
Kirk had an obvious and mutual attraction to Carol Marcus upon their first meeting and personally, and somewhat awkwardly, welcomed her aboard when she was permanently assigned to the Enterprise for the first five-year mission a year later. (Star Trek Into Darkness)

Background informationEdit
James T. Kirk was portrayed by Chris Pine. Younger versions were portrayed by Jimmy Bennett and an infant performer. For the scene in which Kirk is running into a cave on Delta Vega, child actor Joshua Greene served as body double for Pine. The producers did this to let the entrance of the cave look bigger.
Originally, Winona would not have remarried, but left her boys to be cared for by her brother (or brother-in-law) Frank (Brad William Henke), who was abusive to them whenever she was off-world. This forced George Samuel Kirk (β) to run away from home, and Jim, who was a good pupil who always obeyed orders, to steal George's antique car that Frank treated as if it was his own.
Screenwriter Roberto Orci joked, in a message board post, that the radiation from Kirk's premature birth in space caused his eyes to go blue, considering that the prime Kirk has hazel eyes. [1]
One influence on which Orci and Kurtzman based Kirk and Spock's relationship was the friendship between Paul McCartney and John Lennon, two very different musicians who bonded early in life, partly because they both suffered through the loss of a parent (in Kirk's case, his father, and in Spock's, his mother). [2]
Kirk's demotion at the start of Star Trek Into Darkness was prompted by fan criticism that the character had been promoted too quickly at the end of Star Trek. [3] Orci and Kurtzman described the second film as being about Kirk earning the captain's chair, and proving that by sacrificing himself. [4]
When questioned, Roberto Orci expressed difficulty in balancing the 1960s origins of the character, 21st century attitudes and those of an imaginary 23rd century in writing the character's sexual attitudes. [5]
Jonathan Frakes commented, "Pine is perfect as Kirk." (SFX, issue 270, p. 63)
The 2013 virtual collectible card battle game Star Trek: Rivals uses screenshots for card #36, Recruit James T. Kirk, card #56, Cadet James T. Kirk, card #84, Acting First Officer James T. Kirk, and card #101, Captain James T. Kirk.
According to the comic I, Enterprise! Part 2 (Issue #32 of the Star Trek: Ongoing comic series), Kirk's identification number is 0001.
The novelization of 2009's Star Trek by Alan Dean Foster states that Winona Kirk was given an inhibitor that would help slow the birth of James until the Kelvin's return to Earth. However, the impacts to the ship by the Narada's attack cause her to go into early labor. The novelization also merges the conflicting abusive-adult characters, making "Frank" the boys' step-father, and revealing that he wanted the car washed because he planned to sell it behind Winona's back, which is what truly drives Jim to steal it.
