Who are we? We are the BURGER KING McLAMORE℠ Foundation. But we're so much more than two powerful names combined. We are an organization that brings hope to many. We focus on education, on building brighter futures for students across the world. Once you have an education, you can do anything.
In North America, we make dreams come true through scholarships. We do that by awarding grants to deserving high school seniors and BK® employees through the BURGER KING℠ Scholars program. We could tell you all about it, but we'll let 2014 BURGER KING℠ Scholar Jenny Rose fill you in.
"Both of my parents constantly work hard as custodians on weekdays. On weekends, my mother cleans homes and my father landscapes to help me go to college. The ultimate dream for my parents is to see me earn a college education, something they never had the opportunity to do. I am my parent's living dream, and I want to make them proud by fulfilling their dream because it is also my dream. I am honored to be the first in my family to attend college and the BURGER KING℠ Scholars program made it possible."
And around the world? We are establishing libraries in Africa and Southeast Asia for underprivileged children so they can visit and learn how to read. Literacy is our focus there and, in addition to the libraries, we publish local language children's books in a unique partnership with Room to Read. And in Latin America? We're providing communities a space to get an education through the funding of learning centers in underserved communities that TECHO is present in.
We are also a Foundation that is there for its employees in times of need. Through the BK℠ Family Fund, the Foundation helps employees of the BK® system when they experience an emergency need. From an accident or illness, to a natural disaster or fire, the BK℠ Family Fund is ready to help in 26 countries around the world.
Simply stated, it's our mission to make a positive impact in our communities by building brighter futures through education and providing hardship assistance to members of the BK® family.

Pyrrhon Dropped From Relapse
Pyrrhon has checked in with the following announcement about departing Relapse Records and gearing up to release an EP:
"The bad news is that Relapse Records have terminated their contract with Pyrrhon and will not be working on our next LP.
"The given reason for their decision was that 'The Mother of Virtues' has not proven commercially successful, which will surely come as a major shock to anyone who's heard it. Our split with Relapse will not affect our upcoming European tour plans next month.
"The good news: we will release 'Growth Without End,' a new EP, on June 2nd, 2015. That's the cover art you're looking at. Written and recorded in the aftermath of the TMoV sessions, and handled by the same team (Ryan Jones on tracking/mixing; Colin Marston on mastering; Caroline Harrison on art/layout), it is our fastest, scabbiest material to date. 'Growth Without End' will come out on vinyl & digital via Handshake Inc., whom you may know through their great work with the likes of Gridlink, Rwake, Sulaco, and Couch Slut.
"We will be joining another Handshake band for a limited number of out-of-town live appearances in support of the EP before commencing work on our next batch of material. Dates & details TBA."
The EP's track listing is:
1. Cancer Mantra
2. Forget Yourself

Falconer Re-Issuing Debut Album
The Swedish folk metal pioneers from Falconer have announced the re-issue of their debut album as an "Ultimate Edition" on April 21st, 2015.
The "Ultimate Edition" will be available as a double CD digibook. Disc 2 is a bonus CD that features seven previously unreleased versions and demos of tracks from the album. All tracks on both discs have been remastered by Andy LaRocque for the ideal listening experience.
Guitarist Stefan Weinerhall comments: "Re-releasing our debut album in a remastered version is a great kind of interlude while we do our last gigs as a live band. On top of that we offer our fans to finally hear the demo we did back in 1999, something very few people have heard. We also decided to re-record 3 songs from the debut in acoustic, very scaled down versions. It really got the songs to shine in a new kind of way. So about 35 minutes of unheard Falconer music in both exclusive CD and vinyl versions!"

Burnt Books Releasing New Album
Closing a two-year gap since its debut album, Columbia, South Carolina's Burnt Books has hooked up with independent label Retro Futurist, founded by members of Kylesa, for the release of recently completed second full-length, "Where There's Smoke There's Fire."
Burnt Books formed in October 2011, its members hailing from a variety of local bands. Matt Thompson and Troy Thames of Guyana Punch Line and Thank God joined Joey Parker and Chuck Sligh of Tunguska to create the blended driving force of Burnt Books, and the addition of Zoe Lollis brought beautiful yet brutal vocals to the fold.
After touring on a self-titled debut album which rocketed forth through At A Loss Recordings in January 2013, the band started writing with a more refined vision and focus. Burnt Books once again enlisted Phillip Cope (Kylesa, Baroness, Lazer/Wulf) to produce the release at The Jam Room Recording Studio in the band's hometown.
An advance taste of the album is now online - check out "Stupid Game" below, courtesy of CVLT Nation. Due out March 20th, the track listing is as follows:
1. Escape
2. Shadow I Cast
3. Useless Emotions
4. Those Arms
5. Bridges
6. Stupid Game
7. The Harm We've Done
8. Burn Virgin
9. La Rosa More...
Agnostic Front Singer Discusses New Album
For Agnostic Front singer Roger Miret "The American Dream Died" is the result of built up frustration of seeing greed and corruption go by unchecked. The album, Agnostic Front's 11th full-length, serves as a vehicle for Miret to voice his opinion on current events like "Police Violence," which the group compiled videos of police horrifically beating citizens. Other things that upset him include the housing crisis, war profiteering and corporations leaving America for a cheaper labor force. There is just so much anger building inside of this man that he got mad as hell and wouldn't take it anymore. "The American Dream Died" is his outlet. It's an outlet not only for his self, it's also gives a voice to the oppressed.
I called Roger at his home in Arizona to discuss these topics he feels so strongly about. We also talked about the legendary NYC hardcore band's making of the album—the production and recording. Read further on to learn more about "The American Dream Died" available April 7 through Nuclear Blast Records. More...
Old Wounds Finishes New Album
Old Wounds has completed work on upcoming second full-length album, "The Suffering Spirit," due out later this year via Good Fight Music.
The New Jersey band recorded with producer Andreas Magnusson at Planet Red Studios in Richmond, Virginia. Old Wounds drummer Brandon Gallagher gives this report:
"We just completed the recording of 'The Suffering Spirit,' our second LP. I think this release accurately expresses our growth as a band both musically and emotionally. We've been on the road almost nonstop since the release of our first LP, 'From Where We Came Is Where We'll Rest,' and in between tours we worked on writing better songs that were released on the Trenchfoot split and the 'Death Projection' EP.
"Once it was time to sit down and really start focusing on this new album we knew exactly what we wanted and we went for it. Going into the studio with Andreas was a big help too. He knows his craft extremely well and I think he brought out the best in us." More...

Theories Releases "Burnt Concrete" Clip
No Clean Singing just hurled forth a lyric video for "Burnt Concrete" from Seattle death grind division, Theories. Check it out below.
The scathing hymn comes by way of the band's forthcoming new full-length, "Regression," set for final descent in less than two weeks via Metal Blade Records. Theories also comments on the "Burnt Concrete" track:
"Lyrically this song represents the theme of the record very well, the current, very fast decline and beginning to the end of society, civilization and our all-around existence. Our world has been going downhill for a long time now but as of recent, the downward spiral has been regressing at a hyperspeed rate.
"To sum it up, we're all fucked and there's no fixing anything now. Musically, this song represents the feel of the record as well: technical death grind. Instead of going in depth describing what it sounds like and coming up with catchy 'sub genre' phrases, just give it a listen and let the music speak for itself." More...

Dubbed a mere fashion accessory, a handbag is anything but. Deep in its depths lies a fascinating world of secrets, dreams, and — perhaps more mundanely — everyday items and tools for getting along in the modern (esp. urban) world. In his book 'Le Sac: Un Petit Monde d'Amour' (JC Lattès, 2011), Jean-Claude Kaufmann explains why this is so and what role a handbag plays in making and remaking women's identities. Through the life stories of women, he pieces together — from the many things we toss into our bags — an overall account that vindicates the handbag as a 'privileged place'. As reviewer Giovanna Colombetti argues, behind the sometimes mundane observations lies a broader story of how people manipulate and relate to objects in order to support and structure their affective life. This makes the book not only a joy to read, but may even lead its readers on a journey of self-discovery.
Carnap's ideal of explication has become a key concept in contemporary philosophy, especially within the analytic tradition, and lies at the heart of a method of analysis that has sometimes been placed in opposition to various forms of naturalism. A new collection of essays, edited by Pierre Wagner, explores a range of issues in connection with 'Carnap's Ideal of Explication and Naturalism'. The essays in the book may be roughly divided into three parts: first, an exploration of the historical context of Carnap's philosophy; second, a set of detailed case studies concerning explication and its evaluation; third, a critical assessment of recent claims (and counter-claims) concerning the dialectical nature of Carnap's notion of explication. While not all essays aim for the same level of detail or historical depth, taken together, writes BRB reviewer Adam Tuboly, the essays point to fruitful new lines of research in Carnap studies and in the history of analytic philosophy more generally.
Vladimir Sergeyevich Solovyov (1853-1900) is widely considered one of Russian philosophy's most ambitious figures. His magnum opus, 'The Justification of the Moral Good', ranges from a characterization of humans as spiritual creatures to discussion of the historical development of our socially situated consciousness, and on to questions concerning the morality of war and the moral organization of humanity. Contemporary readers may reject, or even mock, Solovyov's musings, not least on account of their unabashed Christian roots. But, as Andre van Loon argues in his review of a new (and refreshingly unfussy) translation of Solovyov's book by Thomas Nemeth, closer inspection of his Solovyov's writings reveals a sophistication that eludes his critics and may vindicate him as 'cleverer, more insightful and spiritual than his critics'.
Recently, a string of authors have lamented the state of American university education, including the limited aspirations of college students. Instead of pursuing, as William Deresiewicz called it, "passionate weirdness", students major in applied subjects such as business studies, enter the financial sector and management consultancies, quickly leaving a more critical engagement with the status quo behind. What's striking for the student of cultural history is the fact that every quarter-century or so this sentiment resurfaces, with professors expressing extreme frustration with how unlike them their students are, how docile and unquestioning. Tracing a trajectory from Horkheimer and Adorno's 'Dialektik der Aufklärung' (1947) via Bloom's 'The Closing of the American Mind' (1987) to more recent examples such as Deresiewiciz's 'Excellent Sheep' (2014), BRB critic Bruce Fleming analyses this historical phenomenon. What he finds is that reading all these eerily similar books back to back suggests larger truths that no individual author can more than hint at, truths about the position of cultural critics and their ultimate inability to change that culture.
The perception of logical empiricism and its influence on contemporary analytic philosophy is currently undergoing a re-assessment. The received view has been inculcated in generations of students through such influential works as A.J. Ayer's 'Language, Truth and Logic' (1936). Yet the origins and gradual emergence of logical empricism as a philosophical movement are far more complex and extend well beyond the English-speaking world. A case in point is Eino Kaila's 'Human Knowledge', which was first published in Finnish in 1939 and which has only now been translated into English. As BRB reviewer Adam Tuboly argues, the translation of Kaila's book, which has been given the English subtitle 'A Classic Statement of Logical Empiricism', forces historians of analytic philosophy to rethink their assumptions — and to acknowledge Kaila as a thinker who demonstrates a remarkably systematic and comprehensive style.
In a world that is more and more connected by electronic and other social media, questions of reputation and its management become ever more important, even to individuals who previously would not have thought of themselves as being in the public limelight. A recent volume, 'La Réputation' (2013), edited by Gloria Origgi and published by the Centre Edgar-Morin, explores this topic from an interdisciplinary perspective. Composed of twelve articles, ranging from psychology and economics to philosophy and sociology, the volume aims at a 'disenchantment' of the elusive notion of reputation. As reviewer Thomas Mollanger notes, though the volume engages little with the extensive body of reputation research in the English-speaking world, it nonetheless succeeds in highlighting and analyzing the centrality of reputation to a range of social phenomena.
Greg Frost-Arnold's first book, 'Carnap, Tarski and Quine at Harvard' (Open Court, Chicago 2013), has as its subject matter a manuscript by Rudolf Carnap that was recently discovered in the University of Pittsburgh's Archives of Scientific Philosophy. The original German manuscript is about the conversations of Carnap, Tarski and Quine (sometimes featuring Goodman) which took place at Harvard in the academic year 1940-41. That year marks a decisive point in the evolution of Carnap's thought on semantics (one year later, he published his Introduction to Semantics). As Carnap and Quine reported in their intellectual autobiography, the dispute about analyticity played a crucial role in that highly productive year. 'Carnap, Tarski and Quine at Harvard', argues BRB reviewer Adam Tamas Tuboly, is a highly elegant edition and commentary of Carnap's notes, claiming just as much as is warranted on the basis of the manuscript and other relevant texts. Its scholarly assumptions are carefully formulated and manage to unify three co-existing historiographical strategies: narrative, argumentative and micro-historical. The micro-history, in this case, consists in the conversations between Carnap, Tarski and Quine, yet the overall story fits with an emerging bigger narrative concerning the history of logical empiricism and analytic philosophy.
"A man of great wit, and little acumen, or penetration, can never succeed in jesting. Such a man proves always intolerable, with his facetious conceits, to judicious persons. His jests are merely playing on words, or puns, or allegorical, metaphorical and tropical modes of speech, and the like kinds of wit, without applying them with any acumen or penetration: and in that case he must fall into the insipid. Without acumen, a man cannot possibly guard against false thoughts: and if in jesting he thinks without acumen, he overlooks the differences of objects, and in that case may easily, by a false conceit, represent to himself a coincidence in things which greatly differ."
Whereas most historians and commentators have thought of the history of Hungarian philosophy as a history of the reception of Western ideas, a new book by Tamas Demeter sets out to identify a distinctively 'Hungarian' strand within twentieth-century philosophy in Hungary. What gives Hungarian thought its distinctive flavour, Demeter argues, is a keen awareness that many of the most pressing philosophical problems are deeply connected to problem of society and sociality. So thoroughgoing is this strand that one might plausible speak of 'Hungarian sociologism' (by analogy with 'German idealism' and 'British idealism'). As reviewer Akos Sivado argues, the book succeeds in establishing "a framework that provides the interpretational basis for a coherent narrative of twentieth-century intellectual life" in Hungary and, as such, contributes to a continuation of the very tradition it identifies.
The general capacity to feel pain is part of being human, yet it is subject to a number of seeming paradoxes. For one, we alone must endure the pain in our own bodies, yet we readily observe pain in others and expect that they suffer from it as we do. Furthermore, while we fear pain and condemn those who wantonly inflict it, violence in all its forms and meanings fascinates us. It is these, and other, paradoxes that Arne Johan Vetlesen, professor of philosophy at the University of Oslo, discusses in his recent book 'A Philosophy of Pain'. The diversity of phenomena and contexts through which pain manifests itself inevitably leads to a certain degree of eclecticism. The result, writes reviewer Chuanfei Chin, is less an analysis of pain and a model of its 'circulation' in society, but a more or less loosely woven tapestry of observations — one that may not be strong enough to bear the weight of the author's ambitious project, but one whose patterns nonetheless stimulate the reader.

My freshman year i didn't have a car, but I met people that were from my hometown and gave me rides very often. Tigerville is small (basically NGU campus) so its easy to just walk to get around. As for Greenville and the surrounding area, my friends and I just carpool everywhere, making off-campus trips multiple times a week. The staff is always willing to help people find transportation home.
There really aren't any transportation options, which is fine if you're on campus, because everything you need is within walking distance. However, people often want to go off campus because there is not that much to do on campus, and this is pretty much impossible if you don't have a car or a friend to drive you anywhere. But I will say that I will be a junior this year and I have gotten along perfectly fine without a car so far. You can walk everywhere on campus, and other students are more than willing to drive you somewhere if you need them to.
You need a car or you will never get off campus unless a friend drives you.
small town. One stoplight. Easy peasy.
I was a commuter, no need for other transportation provided by school

a hearing aid isn't indistructable! they are fragile little machines that make all sounds louder and you must exercise some reasonable amount of care with them or you will have poor experiences with them. be careful with your aids. they are fragile. GET IT? this is a good company. the manufacturer will only refund moneys in certain circumstanses, like within the first 30 days if they do not work and a replacement does not work, then they may refund your moneys. this does not sound like the case with this person. he broke his aid and then wanted his moneys returned. it don't work thata way bud!!

Alliant change makes winners feel like losers
The decision to give the Alliant contract to essentially every company that bid isn't sitting well with some company leaders, especially those that were among the original winners before some of the losers successfully protested the General Services Administration's first try at awarding the contract.
John Johnson, assistant commissioner for Integrated Technology Services at the General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service, announced his retirement March 30.
Johnson's last day is May 2. Ed O'Hare, FAS' chief information officer, will take over.
Johnson's nine-year GSA tenure "was very tough at times, and we had a lot of work to complete with both limited resources and competing pressures, but together we did it!" Johnson wrote to his employees.
The agency's award of the Alliant governmentwide acquisition contract made for an opportune time to step down, Johnson said. Johnson came to GSA in 2000 and moved to his current position in 2006 when GSA created the office.
Johnson said he has no specific plans, except to do some soul-searching.
GSA originally awarded the governmentwide information technology contract to 29 companies, which "seemed exactly the right number," said Carleton Jones, president of Indus, a midsize corporation.
GSA announced last week it was awarding the contract to 59 companies. Although there's no magic number of contractors that suits a governmentwide acquisition contract, 29 was appropriate based on the length and dollar value of the 10-year, $50 billion GWAC, Jones said. "Fifty-nine awardees seem to be too many."
Having a spot on GWAC when many companies weren't good enough to win gives the winners a certain cachet, according to some of the original winners. When the GWAC goes to almost everyone who bids, they say, much of that edge vanishes.
"The exclusivity of Alliant has vanished," said one senior manager at a corporation that won in 2007 and 2009.
The 59 awardees are essentially the entire lot that bid. It's more than twice as many as the initial pool, which GSA awarded in July 2007. After the losing bidders filed protests and, eventually, successfully took GSA to court, the agency started the awards process fresh.
The Alliant contract offers:
U.S. Federal Claims Court Judge Francis Allegra ruled that GSA had not evaluated the bids carefully enough. In redoing the awards, "we followed, to the letter, the weaknesses that were identified by the Court of Federal Claims," said Mary Powers-King, GSA's director of GWAC and IT schedule programs.
Officials took care as they reviewed bids, and they opened discussions with companies so they could fix the weak points in their proposals.
Some procurement observers credited GSA with taking the judge's admonitions to heart. "On the retest, they all got a 100," said Larry Allen, president of the Coalition for Government Procurement.
But TiTi McNeil, president and chief executive of TranTech, said the contract is so big that 59 companies won't make a difference. "You just have to start by being hungry," she said. Her company was one of the ones that only recently earned a spot on Alliant.
With hungry companies, "expect the Wild, Wild West on Alliant for the first six to nine months," when orders come out, Allen said.
TranTech, a small woman-owned business among giant corporations, spent more than $700,000 to get its Alliant award. An executive from a larger company said that company spent $1 million and expected to start taking orders in 2007.
McNeil said she expects to make a lot of money during the next 10 years. She will certainly recoup her investment and, at the same time, get her name in among the big prime contractors, she said.
"We wanted and needed this," she said. "I won't complain."

Mass. police broadcast 'what it takes to be a cop'
Videos that debut on the department's social media pages show what the life of a cop is like for aspiring recruits
By Scott J. Croteau
The Telegram
WORCESTER, Mass. — Since the Worcester Police Department's recruit class started the Worcester Police Academy, department media specialist Kathleen A. Daly has been there with video equipment in hand.
From class work to firearms training, Ms. Daly has chronicled the struggles, hard work and lessons learned by the recruits, which includes officers from some other area departments as well.
Police Chief Gary J. Gemme said the idea of videotaping the training was brought to him by Ms. Daly, a former Channel 3 news reporter in Worcester. Ms. Daly has already ramped up the department's use of Facebook and Twitter, adding what the chief called more accessibility to department information by the public and media outlets. Adding more transparency is beneficial to the department, the chief said.

Handmade Bohemian jewelry in Czech glass, antiqued metals, leather and fiber.

Beautiful bracelet! I love it! Thank you!
Girl meets glass.
I've always been a crafty gal. The jewelry making, though, surfaced from a desire to collect. I wanted to get my hands on all the gorgeous Czech glass I was introduced to here on Etsy. I began making jewelry primarily because I wanted to play with Czech glass. I continue because there's a lot of glass out there.
This is a Dark Ride. My shop's name is a reference to a sign on the set of an old TV show. I always took it as a comment on life, in that context, but it also resonates with my excursions into popular culture. I enjoy the dark rides -- Gothic and detective fiction, horror narratives, and, particularly, vampire stories -- in popular narrative, graphic novels, video games, on film and television.
My interests have influenced my studies. I recently obtained a Master's Degree in Popular Culture. My areas of study? Detective fiction and vampire narratives.
The dark rides of popular culture also influence my assemblages. I dip into literature, fairy tale, music, television and film, and borrow from times past and imagined for inspirations. I work with antiqued metals primarily because of its ability to evoke another time. I work primarily with Czech glass with Picasso finishes because it is so freakin' awesome.

A great & inexpensive tool for spinning
By scf
from Creve Coeur, MO
About Me Experienced
Comments about Schacht Cardboard Spools:
Let's face it bobbins for spinning can get expensive expecially if you spin a lot. Once my wheel bobbin is full I like to rewind it onto another bobbin where it can relax before I ply it or skein the singles. These bobbins provide me with endless storage at a fantastic price. They do fit on my hand crank bobbin winder with a little engineering, in brief, I put some tissue or something in the core so it fits on winder tightly (lol). I have also plyed directly from these bobbins on a lazy kate and they worked great.
I have used several of the bobbins repeatedly and they are holding up. I don't expect them to last forever, they are after all cardboard but for the price who cares!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Discussion in 'Star Trek - Original Series' started by Maurice, Feb 15, 2014.
I think that both "Spectre of the Gun" and "West of Mars" episodes would have been improved by simply having a real world setting outside of the sound stage. Had they both been filmed outside on a backlot western street they would have been much more entertaining to watch.
Would they really? Or would they have just looked like the countless other '60s TV episodes shot on the same Western backlots that viewing audiences saw every week? Would something so commonplace-looking have really been more entertaining to audiences at the time?
Speaking of surreal, Will and Dr. Smith getting away by riding the "animals" seen in the first picture is something to see.
If you get back to the root, the surrealism movement, at least in visual arts, frequently featured the irrational juxtaposition of images, which I daresay the LIS version (wheeled taxidermed animals in front sketchy buildings and other oddities) is much closer to surreal than Trek's limbo sets, which are more "incomplete" than surreal.
To me it's like people using "art deco" as a catchall describe anything from art nouveux to googie, when deco is actually something pretty specific.
Okay, so my ex is an artist and an art history major, so I've had this discussion 100 times before.
I think what we're forgetting here is that these shows were produced coming out of the pop art movement, so I think some of this minimalism has roots in that in addition to being cheap to execute.
^I think the red alien sky over "Tombstone" -- and the shadows cast on the "sky" by the flashes of lightning -- would qualify as irrational juxtapositions.
Possibly, but as many images of the the west portray red skies at sunset, one could argue that it was part of the "image" of the old west. Hey Harvey, any memos on this?
The shadows would only count if they were intentional and not a production mistake. I'm not sure which they are.
I think they would have because in that same Western backlot they would see something radically different juxtapositioned. "Spectre of the Gun" Kirk & crew in starfleet uniforms and "West of Mars" Smith & Will riding the fake "animals".
At sunset, yes, but 24 hours a day? And previous Trek episodes had already established red skies as a signifier for alien settings -- see "The Apple," for example.
Of course they were intentional. Despite the changes in the writing staff, the episode's director, director of photography, and lighting supervisor were all veterans of the show and had plenty of experience at disguising the soundstage wall as an alien sky. And the shots in question were set up so as to make the shadows a central part of the composition, e.g. in the shots where the Earps are striding side-by-side toward the corral. They would've had to position the lights and branches purposefully to cast those very prominent shadows on the wall behind the actors.
We saw Starfleet uniforms against a familiar backlot environment in "Miri" and it wasn't that striking.
I believe that Maurice's point was pretty obviously that aliens incapable of knowing how to complete buildings can't be expected to know how to extrapolate the sky to all times of day.
It would be to a non-Star Trek viewer with a color television set back then turning the channel dial and seeing the western setting with those colorful Starfleet uniforms. If their TV Guide magazine was not in reach, then I bet you they would watch to see what is this "western".
I don't have anything, I'm afraid. Since it's a third season episode, I'd be surprised if the paperwork on it at UCLA was that significant. For anyone who has a copy, what does the script say?
The April 19, 1968 story outline indicates "a hot blue desert sky, a hot yellow desert sun..." But that version doesn't suggest any of the surrealist/minimalist elements of the finished episode (in it, even the landing party's outfits are changed to match the old West).
From what I gather, the typical practice in screenwriting is that in your first draft, you throw in every idea you'd want to do if money were no object, and then in revisions you pare it down to what you're able to do. That way, you don't leave out something that you thought was too expensive but actually proves doable.
The full-on realistic Western approach would've had its merits -- notably, it would've made the crew's concerns about whether they could alter history more plausible, since it wouldn't have been so obviously artificial. It's something they definitely would've done if the episode had been done in season 1 or 2, and would've fit right into season 2 along with the gangster planet and the Roman planet and the Nazi planet. And it's something we finally got to see on Enterprise in "North Star." (And in a different way in TNG: "A Fistful of Datas.")
But I like the approach they ended up taking. The theatrical quality works because the whole thing is essentially a play staged by the Melkotians.
I always took it as the Melkotians provided only the scenery that was necessary for their pattern of death to play out. That the sky was red only adds to the surrealistic setting.
I have to say that I never noticed the shadows on the studio walls before looking at the stills. That's an eerie effect, and well played.
Again, the drama isn't in whether they can change history, but in whether they are going to get shot and killed. They changed history, but Chekov was still apparently shot and apparently killed. Anything that enhances the reality of the guns enhances the sense danger that they are in, and therefore the drama. By that theory, a realistic setting should have been more dramatic. Of course other factors were at play, and a lot would have depended upon the tone and execution.
Setting nearly fifty years after the fact, in retrospect I can suggest that the missed opportunity was in not making this the "Wagon Train" episode analogous to "Far Beyond the Stars". Take Spock out of makeup, and drop Chekov's accent. Let them keep their memories, and let Spock keep his mind-melding ability, which is necessary for the resolution, in convincing them that nothing is real, but put them in period clothes so that everything outward makes it seem as if they might be in an alternate reality. Take out the forcefield device that keeps them from simply walking out of town and replace it with gunmen waiting to shoot them down. YMMV, of course, but that idea seems more dramatic to me.
I'm not sure it was Coon throwing in everything but the kitchen sink as much as it was Coon writing an outline that was within the show's reach during seasons 1 and 2 -- but beyond its grasp in season 3.
Yup, you can see it all over the Fox shows, particularly the Irwin Allen series. Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea used the blackout infinity sets a lot as well. It worked well enough on LiS due to the alien planets, but in the "real world" on Earth, Voyage just came off looking a little cheaper (and I'm being kind because I love that damned series). The Time Tunnel used it as well.
I preferred the incomplete sets to going on location for the same reason episodes like Miri and City on the Edge of Forever distract me; "look, it's Mayberry!" This time it would have been "look, it's Dodge City!"
As for why they didn't just use a standing location, I assume the budget didn't support outdoor shooting, which is a whole other animal than a controlled environment of an indoor set. The bulk of the episode would have been outdoors. Not to mention they would have been shooting while these same westerns were starting up as well.
The stylized sets and lighting elevated this episode from run of the mill to something memorable. It's a fun episode and a much better premiere for the third season than the one NBC aired.
Except for Morgan Woodward doing a pretty nice turn as Captain Tracy. Makes the episode worth watching, for me.
Yeah, I find "Omega" to be much more re-watchable than "Miri" too. I didn't mean to suggest that they were equally bad.
As a kid I thought the partial sets made it more eerie and mysterious. I still love that ep for that reason. Somebody earlier mentioned the availability of full outdoor sets. That would have been true, especially in the 60's. I actually wrote a little book about ghost towns that includes a chapter on how ghost towns influenced Hollywood's perception of the old west. Many westerns were filmed in actual ghost towns, and there were a ton of them standing and available right into the 80's. Many were owned or leased by the studios, in fact. So to the question of whether a real, or at least more full ghost town set was available, the answer would be most definitely yes. And probably at no cost. Extra cost would have come in with the transportation of the filming operation, and any extra technical equipment would need to be acquired. They would also have to consider lighting. Maybe that's where the cost/benefit ratio went askew.

Hi Carl,The pic I posted would have been ideal if the background light wasn't there. That was my problem when I was trying to do this.I was using a small compact camera which meant putting the lens right into the persons face, it felt uncomfortable.I tried my 70-210 lens, cant remember what settings but the end result wern't as sharp compared to the compact camera.Either a macro lens or extension tubes are needed, I haven't got either so we've sorta forget about this project, for the meantime.If I get back to doing it again with success I'll put some pictures on to show you.All the beststevie
