Cardassian history
this wiki
(covers information from several alternate timelines)
Cardassian history was perhaps one of the most brutal histories of any species inhabiting the Alpha Quadrant. Originally, the Cardassian homeworld was that of a deeply spiritual and artistic people, which soon fell into decay when famine and plague struck their civilization. Over the years, Cardassian society evolved to adopt a philosophy that sacrificed their individual freedoms for the greater good of the state and their society. For over five centuries, the iron fisted Cardassian military sought to solve Cardassia's problems through the conquest of numerous worlds and species throughout the Milky Way Galaxy, leading to an era of expansion and conflict. This ultimately left Cardassian civilization in ruins once again after suffering the staggering losses of two major wars.
Early history Edit
In 2369, evidence was discovered that suggests many of the galaxy's humanoid races were descended from a single humanoid race, the originators of the basic anatomy. Around 4.5 billion years ago they had seeded many worlds with a DNA code to guide evolution to a form resembling their own. Cardassians displayed evidence of these DNA sequences. (TNG: "The Chase")
The ancient Hebitians were a spiritual and peaceful civilization which thrived on Cardassia Prime, centuries prior to the formation of the Cardassian Union. The Hebitian burial vaults were said to be magnificent and filled with many jeweled artifacts made of jevonite. Due to the planet's scarcity in natural resources, the impoverished society suffered from famine and disease, leading to millions of deaths. The frail population then turned to a militaristic ideology, thus ending the Hebitian way of life. (TNG: "Chain of Command, Part II")
First contact with the Bajorans Edit
First Contact between the Cardassians and Bajorans occurred as early as the 16th century. Using their lightships, Bajoran explorers traversed the space around Bajor and stumbled upon tachyon eddies, which accelerated them beyond the speed of light, taking them all the way to Cardassia Prime at a distance of five light years. Although the Cardassian government would later deny the story's plausibility, ancient crash sites of Bajoran lightships would be discovered on Cardassia "coincidentally" at the same time Cmdr. Sisko and his son re-enacted the journey in late 2371, thereby forcing the Cardassians to acknowledge the achievement as "a testament to the spirit of the ancient Bajorans who first ventured out into space". (DS9: "Explorers")
Cardassian Union Edit
- Main article: Cardassian Union
The Detapa Council, Cardassian Central Command and Obsidian Order were jointly established in the 19th century together forming what was eventually known as the Cardassian Union. (DS9: "Defiant")
Pre-First Republic Edit
By the mid-22nd century, Cardassian interstellar space travelers had been covertly observed by the Organians, who studied how they were responding to a deadly silicon-based virus, which parts of their crew had contracted on a planet. Although the Organians noted some initial compassion, the Cardassians eventually killed their infected crewmembers. (ENT: "Observer Effect") Also during that century, the burial vaults of the First Hebitian civilization were unearthed for the first time. They were plundered by the impoverished Cardassian population, and most of the artifacts stolen. (TNG: "Chain of Command, Part II")
At least one Cardassian starship had encountered the Automated repair station by 2152, and lost a crew member to it. (ENT: "Dead Stop")
First Republic Edit
The First Republic existed as of the early-23rd century and was known for its serialist poetry. This included the works of serialist poet Iloja of Prim, who was ultimately exiled on the planet Vulcan, however. (DS9: "Destiny")
In the alternate reality, Nyota Uhura asked for two Cardassian sunrises at a bar on Earth in 2255. (Star Trek)
Military empire Edit
Having assumed a militaristic philosophy after the Hebitian society perished, Cardassians relied heavily on the military's expansion into the galaxy to obtain the natural resources which were scarce on their homeworld. In order to "feed" the population, the military colonized numerous worlds to obtain the resources and in return had almost complete power over the people. This mutually beneficial arrangement reached an impasse, however, and in order to battle recurring famines on Cardassia, the military occupied additional nearby planets and subjugated their native people to work as forced laborers. Being located in a neighboring system only about five light years away, the Occupation of Bajor began in 2319 before it was formally annexed in 2328. The Occupation effectively ended in 2369 due to political pressure from the Federation on top of the constant terrorism and guerrilla warfare from the Bajoran Resistance. (TNG: "Chain of Command, Part II", "Ensign Ro"; DS9: "Emissary", "Duet", "Cardassians")
- See: Occupation of Bajor
Eventually their expansion brought the Cardassians into conflict with the Klingon Empire, causing the Betreka Nebula Incident. (DS9: "The Way of the Warrior") Their expansion also caused them to clash with the Federation, resulting in the Federation-Cardassian War during which the Setlik III massacre was a major incident. The war eventually ended with the signing of a peace treaty in 2367 and the creation of a Demilitarized Zone three years later. This was a perturbed peace and minor conflicts continued between both sides from time to time, including the rogue Captain Benjamin Maxwell of the USS Phoenix who raided against the Cardassians, believing that the Cardassians were re-arming and preparing for a strike on Federation territory. Maxwell's fears were not unfounded, as Captain Jean-Luc Picard found out while investigating the matter, the Cardassian cargo ships were supplying with jamming equipment a "research station" too close to Federation sectors; although alerted, he opted to keep a vigilant peace. (TNG: "The Wounded")
Indeed, in 2369 the Federation was alerted when Cardassian forces relocated from the Bajoran sector to along the Federation border and was fearing for an incursion. Cardassians lured and captured Picard and then attempted to take Minos Korva by negotiating his release. The layout of the DMZ also contributed to the tensions. Due to the change in borders some Federation worlds became Cardassian territories and vice versa. Many of the people, whose worlds were turned over to the Cardassians, did not wish to leave and were granted permission to remain on their worlds. Disgruntled by the treatment they received from the Cardassians some of the citizens decided to revolt. This gave birth to the Maquis. (TNG: "The Wounded", "Chain of Command, Part I", "Chain of Command, Part II"; DS9: "The Maquis, Part I", "The Maquis, Part II")
Degeneration Edit
After exhausting much of their resources during the Federation-Cardassian War the Cardassian Union was in no shape for renewed conflict with the Federation so soon after the peace treaty. To make matters worse the Maquis were located in the Demilitarized Zone, preventing the Cardassian military from launching a full-scale invasion to wipe them out. This enabled the Maquis to carry out numerous acts of sabotage and small military engagements against the Union. As the Maquis grew in size and strength tensions grew higher between the Federation and the Cardassian Union with neither side having a concrete solution to the problem. Instead, the Central Command secretly armed their citizens in the DMZ to combat the Maquis while the Maquis procured weapons by raiding various vessels as well as receiving materials from the Klingon Empire in later years. (TNG: "Preemptive Strike"; DS9: "The Maquis, Part I", "The Maquis, Part II", "Defiant", "For the Uniform", "Blaze of Glory")
The Central Command attempted to deal with the situation in the DMZ by discrediting the Federation and providing evidence that they not only sanctioned the Maquis' actions, but were providing them with weapons to combat the Cardassians. Their undercover operative secretly developed evidence that Miles O'Brien was shipping photon torpedoes to the Maquis from Deep Space 9. The plan was foiled when Central Command's agent was discovered by the station's senior staff, and the evidence against O'Brien was proved to be fabricated. (DS9: "Tribunal")
Another failed attempt by Central Command was to wipe out the Maquis' munitions base in the Badlands with the creation of their ATR-4107 missile (which was later renamed Dreadnought). While the ATR-4107 effectively acted as a missile, it was also a fully autonomous warship capable of warp speeds and carried a wide range of defensive weaponry. The Dreadnought had successfully made it to the Maquis munitions depot after fighting its way through every Maquis defense. However, due to the Cardassians' use of an outdated kinetic detonator, the Dreadnought did not detonate as planned, but instead drifted in orbit of the planetoid. There, the Maquis reprogrammed the weapon to attack a Cardassian fuel depot on Aschelan V. Dreadnought inexplicably disappeared in the Badlands while on the way to its new destination, only to be found by the USS Voyager two years later in the Delta Quadrant. (VOY: "Dreadnought")
Attempting to reestablish relations with Bajor after the end of the occupation the Cardassians secretly worked out a treaty with the Bajorans. With Legate Turrel representing the Cardassian Union and Vedek Bareil initiating the talks and working out the details. Five months of secret discussions began between the two, from war reparations to an official apology from the Cardassians. However, Bareil was injured on his way to Deep Space 9 to finalize the treaty so Kai Winn completed the negotiations, thus creating the Bajoran-Cardassian Treaty. The first joint Federation-Bajoran-Cardassian effort under the new peace treaty, called the Wormhole Comm Relay Project, was to create a Gamma Quadrant relay station to aid communications through the Bajoran wormhole. A Bajoran vedek accused the participating Cardassian scientists, Ulani Belor, Gilora Rejal, and Dejar, to be "three vipers that would destroy the Celestial Temple". Although Dejar was indeed exposed by Ulani Belor as an Obsidian Order operative, who, as it turned out, was not only tasked with surveillance but to undermine Bajoran-Cardassian relations by sabotaging the entire project, the Wormhole Comm Relay was successfully completed. (DS9: "Life Support", "Destiny")
The discovery of a large, hostile empire in the Gamma Quadrant in 2370 proved to be one of the most devastating events for the Cardassian Empire, as this so-called "Dominion" would soon start to destabilize the Alpha Quadrant. By 2371, no major Alpha Quadrant power was willing to commit to a firm solution to the threat of a Dominion invasion. Enabran Tain, the retired leader of the Obsidian Order, took it upon himself to see Cardassia's involvement in preventing a major war. With the help of the Tal Shiar, Tain was able to develop his own small fleet in the Orias system which he would use later that year in an attempt to wipe out the Dominion's rulers; the Founders. His plan was ultimately foiled by a Changeling infiltrator, resulting in the disastrous Battle of the Omarion Nebula. The battle caused the Obsidian Order to completely collapse, allowing for the Cardassian dissident movement to overthrow the Central Command's authority the following year. The movement saw the restoration of the Detapa Council and civilian rule. (DS9: "The Jem'Hadar", "Improbable Cause", "The Die is Cast", "The Way of the Warrior")
Having been suppressed for so long, the civilian population's ability to restore the Detapa Council was believed to be influenced by the Founders in the eyes of the Klingon Empire. Because of this, as well as Chancellor Gowron being influenced by an actual Changeling, the Klingon Empire launched an unprovoked and abrupt invasion of the Cardassian Union, thus beginning the Klingon-Cardassian War. The war devastated Cardassian infrastructure and crippled a large portion of their fleets. The Detapa Council, with the help of Gul Dukat and the Federation, was able to obtain asylum aboard Deep Space 9. After the Klingons were successfully driven away the war became a stalemate, with Klingon ships able to roam freely throughout Cardassian territory. Later that year, Dukat was able to procure a Klingon vessel with the help of Major Kira Nerys. Despite the substantial information he obtained from the ship's computer logs and status reports, the Detapa Council wished to find a diplomatic solution to the war as opposed to using the information for launching a new offensive. Dukat then began a one-ship war against the Klingons with his captured Bird-of-Prey. (DS9: "The Way of the Warrior", "Return to Grace", "Rules of Engagement")
With the Cardassian Obsidian Order no longer existing to keep the population in line, a fanatical separatist group known as the "True Way" began to unleash their frustration on the Federation and Bajor through terrorism and sabotage. Blaming the Federation for Cardassia's economic and political problems, and strongly opposed to the Bajoran-Cardassian Treaty made the year prior, the True Way was responsible for destroying the runabout USS Orinoco as well as a failed attempt at the life of Shakaar Edon. (DS9: "Our Man Bashir", "Crossfire")
Restoration Edit
In 2373, the Dominion suddenly invaded the Alpha Quadrant with dozens of ships coming through the Bajoran wormhole. The Federation was preparing for the worst assuming the fleet was going to begin an interstellar war by attacking Deep Space 9. However, the fleet immediately changed course and headed directly for Cardassian space. Shortly thereafter, Dukat revealed that he had secretly negotiated an alliance with the Dominion over the past few months and made Cardassia an official member, only weeks prior to the Dominion's entry of the Alpha Quadrant. The Detapa Council became completely powerless with Cardassia formally annexed and Dukat as the designated leader of the Cardassian people. Dukat later "justified" his actions by saying the alliance with the Dominion would restore Cardassia to its former glory, promising to push every Klingon ship from Cardassian territory and wipe out every Maquis colony in the DMZ. Dukat made good on his promise, for within three days every Maquis colony was destroyed, with only a few members able to evade capture or death, and the entire Klingon invasion force was in full retreat. (DS9: "By Inferno's Light", "Blaze of Glory")
Membership in the Dominion Edit
- See also: Dominion War
Early success Edit
With the Cardassian Union's borders returned to their pre-war state, Dukat had successfully raised the Union to be a first-rate power in the Alpha Quadrant. However, Dukat's personal ambitions, combined with the Founders' desire to bring order to the galaxy, meant that an interstellar war was inevitable. Since the Dominion required constant reinforcements of ships, supplies, troops and ketracel-white from the Gamma Quadrant to be able to conquer the entire Alpha Quadrant, the Federation decided to mine the entrance of the wormhole to prevent the strength of the Dominion from growing. This move was the provocation the Dominion needed to start a full-scale war against the Federation without coming across as the aggressors. The Dominion then sent a fleet of ships to capture Deep Space 9 and prevent the minefield from completion which resulted in Dukat retaking the station. Thus, the Dominion War began. (DS9: "Call to Arms")
For the first few months of the war Cardassia and the Dominion were unmatched on all fronts, constantly forcing the Federation and Klingon Empire to retreat. The utter failure of the Federation's Seventh Fleet at Tyra was one of the many engagements resulting in complete success for the Dominion. At the current rate of success it was only a matter of time before Earth and the rest of the Federation became completely conquered by the Dominion. However, a bold attack lead by Captain Benjamin Sisko saw the first engagement of the war where the allies were successful. Conversely, this was only due to the help of the Bajoran Prophets which destroyed all 2,800 Dominion ships inside the wormhole before they could enter the Alpha Quadrant. The sudden turn of events, combined with the death of his daughter Tora Ziyal, caused Dukat to have a mental breakdown. It was after this that Cardassians began to lose their status as equals with the Vorta and Jem'Hadar in the Dominion. (DS9: "A Time to Stand", "Sacrifice of Angels")
Puppet government, occupation and rebellion Edit
After Dukat's subsequent capture earlier that year, Damar was placed as the new leader of the Cardassian people. However, Damar's position gradually became nothing more than a simple formality, with the Female Changeling and Weyoun running a de facto government. Shortly after Deep Space 9 was lost to the Federation, Damar was forced to call for peace by Weyoun, despite his personal objections. Over time, Damar was forced to obey Weyoun on almost all political and military decisions, including the order to reinforce the Son'a outpost on Devos II as opposed to pursuing the USS Defiant, as Damar had initially ordered. (DS9: "Statistical Probabilities", "Penumbra")
Damar gradually realized that he was simply running a puppet government under Dominion regime and that Cardassians were becoming second-class citizens within their own territory. When the Female Changeling negotiated with the Breen to join the Dominion in 2375, she made territorial concessions on behalf of Cardassia. Damar, forced to sign the negotiations as the designated leader of Cardassia, realized his power had been completely usurped. It was then that Damar began his rebellion against the Dominion oppressors. (DS9: "The Changing Face of Evil", "When It Rains...", "Tacking Into the Wind")
His military rebellion was destroyed when Gul Revok betrayed it and provided the Dominion with the information necessary to locate their bases. However, Damar learned upon arriving back on Cardassia Prime that he had more of an impact on all Cardassians than he thought. The entire civilian population eventually joined Damar's rebellion and was able to cause a planet-wide blackout during the Battle of Cardassia. The confusion and lack of communication with their main headquarters enabled the allies to defeat the Dominion forces, forcing them to retreat to Cardassia Prime for one final stand. (DS9: "The Dogs of War", "What You Leave Behind")
Demise Edit
When the Dominion destroyed Lakarian City in retaliation for the blackout, the remaining Cardassian military forces switched sides, helping the Federation Alliance defeat the Dominion once and for all. But a change of heart that came too late: by the end of the Dominion War, Cardassia Prime was in ashes, devastated by orbital bombardment and Jem'Hadar raids by the Dominion, who were ordered to wipe out the Cardassian species for their betrayal. Over eight hundred million men, women and children were slaughtered in the planet-wide genocide. The Cardassian military was reduced greatly from two years of total war and casualties with the Federation Alliance, an entire Order was wiped out from a single engagement, and their economy was crippled. With Damar, the inspirational leader of the Rebellion dead, Cardassia took a big blow that further deteriorated the situation and lead to an even deeper fall into the inevitable demise. Cardassia, a once proud, powerful and unrelenting force in the Alpha quadrant, had once again become a planet plagued with famine, death, disease and destruction, leaving the remaining Cardassians to rebuild it and pick up the pieces amongst the ruins. A tragic ending for a once mighty peoples, and a fate Klingon Chancellor Martok believed most Bajorans would call "poetic justice". (DS9: "What You Leave Behind")
Alternate timelines Edit
In a quantum reality visited by Worf in 2370, the Cardassian Empire had been overthrown by the very aggressive Bajorans. In this same universe, a Cardassian also served as the conn officer of the USS Enterprise-D. (TNG: "Parallels")
By the year 2422 of the alternate future caused by the apparent death of Benjamin Sisko in 2372, the Cardassians had entered into a mutual defense pact with the Bajorans, to defend against the Klingon Empire. (DS9: "The Visitor")
Timeline Edit

- 2360: Dukat assumes command of Terok Nor.
- 2369: The Cardassian Union withdraws from Bajor, ending the Occupation.
- 2370: A Cardassian scheme to reassert influence over Bajor by secretly supporting the anti-Federation Alliance for Global Unity in an attempted coup d'état fails, when their involvement is uncovered.
- 2371: Legate Turrel and Bajoran representatives negotiate the Bajoran-Cardassian Treaty, initiating the normalization of relations between both governments.

Chris Lynch, MA '91
Q. What are you currently working on?
I am currently working on the second of a four-book series for Scholastic. It is about four friends who grow up together and then all serve in the Vietnam War, one in each of the four services. If I were to give it a shorthand description, I would say it is Stand By Me meets The Deer Hunter. The first book is out next fall, and is titled I Pledge Allegiance.
Q. Was there one person at Emerson who shifted the course of your career?
The Emerson experience that shifted the course of my career was the day I walked into [former WLP professor] Jack Gantos's children's writing class. I took the class in large part because it fit my schedule. But as soon as I got in, working with Jack and the students there I was transformed. I discovered the material that meant so much to me that I am still working on it today, and up until that moment I did not see it coming. This was in the final semester of my MA degree program, so I often think about how close I came to missing the boat entirely.
Q. Are you professionally connected to other Emersonians? Could you share an example or two?
There is no instance of one fellow student aiding my career. I will, however, acknowledge the help of that entire children's writing class. It was an incredible group: great readers, great listeners, generous spirits. I could not wait to get back to my desk every week and write more for these folks and that, combined with Jack's deft hand at the wheel of this thing, changed everything in terms of progress that last semester and beyond.
I am still in contact with Jack, who has helped me immeasurably throughout my writing life. I also exchanged manuscripts with one of my Emerson peers, Matt Marinovich, MFA '92, and once in awhile we get back in touch.
Q. What's the single most important piece of advice you'd like to give to prospective or current Emerson students about how to make the best use of what Emerson offers?
The advice I'd like to hand off to current Emersonians is, look around you; notice what you have got right there. Take advantage of what is probably the best population you will ever find in terms of fellow travelers. Get all you can from them, and give all you can to them, because you benefit both ways. And form your writing group (or whatever equivalent your discipline requires) as soon as you can and hold onto them.

With the tent drying we decided to sit with our books, some brie and crackers and a bottle of wine purchased at the campsite (thank you Quebec). Trouble was I have finished the 3 books I brought so I was on to Sudoku, to Jen's delight this was not a problem and I was quiet while she read her book. By the early evening the tent was dry, we were full of cheese and wine and the wind had blown around our card game long enough that we decided to go for a quick walk around the campsite
This morning we woke up, I commenced sneezing and that was it for me. Up to get coffee on and breakfast started. 1 - Coffee, 1 - Hot Chocolate, and 2 - ham and egg croissants made for a delicious breakfast.
Within a couple hours of waking up we were on the road for a car wash and then off to Montreal. The car wash wasn't my best job but it was a whole lot cleaner than before I started! It was a one person job so Jenny decided this would be a photo opportunity.
Once on the road we plugged on to Montreal and to Theresa's apartment. We got settled in after circling the block for parking and dodging closed streets. We walked a neat market with loads of fresh fruit, veggis, and meats. I purchased some fresh concord grapes and cherries before we headed for the other market (for which the aforementioned streets were closed). We managed to get through with only a couple of purchases of the clothing variety and some cider and groceries.
Tonight we will be off to Sushi and relaxing. Glad to be under a roof for the night and to see Montreal tomorrow and Saturday.
Until next time, Bonne Journee!

Do a recursive search for files.
4 Downloads
Updated 28 May 2009
Returns a cell array of all files matching the wildcard expression "refiles" beginning in the root folder "root". Includes subdirectories.
mfiles = getfilenames('c:\','*.m') will return all .m files on the c drive to the cell array "mfiles".
To make this code work for Matlab 2010b as well as other versions for both PC and Mac replace the lines 30 to 34:
if ispc
elseif ismac
Now it will work with version 2010b
No longer works recursively on R2010b, even thought it does on R2010a. I am not sure why.
Useful. Wish Matlab had more builtins for file searching and management, since I write mfiles that have to be used by Windows users (no perl)
Works great... fast as well
Does not work for linux, because it uses the function "ismac" instead of isunix.
Additionally, I do not see why the wildcard should be set to an empty string on a mac, a '*' would make more sense, right?
Why not use the Matlab-original function 'what'? At least for Matlab-related files, it gives you exactly what you want to do with getfilenames.
Very nice. It is surprisingly fast. This will save me a lot of time.
it works well in Matlab2008a(7.6).Thanks for sharing!
Best thing since sliced bread.
Very good. Saved me a lot of time.
Nice file, but one request - Can you rewrite this so that instead of CD-ing between directories, your recursive calls to DIR include the right path information? This way if the program errors or is halted (say, with cntrl-c), you don't end up in some strange directory. This would also make the program more robust to potential network problems, too (eg, such as getting "abandoned" in a stale filesystem if a network drive is suddenly disconnnected after you've CD-ed into it).
If you can do that, I'd give this file a 4 or 5!
Bug Fix
Thanks to Kenn Sebesta. His Comments:
Hi, I fixed getfilenames.m to work with Mac. I'm betting it works with
The secret ingredient was `fullfile`, which lets Matlab decide for
Bug fix on line 36. Changed 'cd' to 'root'. Thanks Elena.
Removed the cd to other folders per suggestion. Now, it stays in the folder where it was called. Also added ability to simply return all subfolder names only if a single root folder argument is passed.

About Me
I am a Fine Art, Beauty, Glamour, and Fetish photographer based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
I started working as a professional photographer in 1982, shooting modeling portfolios for the Cover Girl and Casablancas agencies, along with catalogues, commercial and advertising work.
As I have matured I have found myself led creatively back to my favourite subject, feminine beauty.
I have the luxury today of following my passions and have started shooting full time once again. My work has garnered more interest, and has been seen in galleries and magazines in Europe, Canada and the US, as well as here on the web through my website, The Hungry Eye.
I am always happy to work with new models as well as those who have experience.
I am fussy about to whom I offer TFP , but feel free to contact me if you are interested.

- Find companies you can trust and the best financial products
- Impartial pensions and Isa tips without the financial jargon
- Your one-stop shop for all money matters
David Cameron said the state pension will continue to rise by at least 2.5% a year until 2020 if his party wins the General Election in 2015.
He promised to keep the "triple lock" system, which sees the state pension increase by the highest of inflation, wages or 2.5%.
"I want people when they reach retirement to know that they can have dignity and security in their old age," he told the BBC.
"People who have worked hard, who have done the right thing, who have provided for their families, they should then know they will get a decent state pension and they don't have to worry about it lagging behind prices or earnings and I think that's the right choice for the country."
Responding to Cameron's comments, the Liberal Democrats and Labour both said they support the triple lock in principle but have stopped short of following the Conservatives' pledge should either win power.
Meanwhile, former Labour minister Frank Field warned taxes would have to rise to pay for the Prime Minister's "triple-lock" pledge.
"If you are promising one group - a group that is more certain to vote – that they will get the gravy first, you are saying to others there is less for you... and somebody is going to have to pay the taxes to foot that bill," he explained.
He also said it was unfair for retirees to benefit while the rest of society are forced "to make sacrifices".
He added: "Younger families, with children, who are hungry deserve a similar amount of dignity, particularly if they are working."
However, Cameron insisted that ensuring pensions continue to rise while benefits for younger people are being cut was "fair".
An increase in the general level of prices that persists over a period of time. The inflation rate is a measure of the average change over a period, usually 12 months. If inflation is up 4%, this means the price of products and services is 4% higher than a year earlier, requiring we spend and extra 4% to buy the same things we bought 12 months ago and that any savings and investments must generate 4% (after any taxes) to keep pace with inflation. Since 2003, the Bank of England has used the consumer prices index (CPI) as its official measure of inflation (see also retail prices index).
Interesting to realsie that freezing the tax allowances takes away a lot of the increase in real terms and switching from RPI to CPI remooves more than the triple lock has given. Good old double talk again! And Osborn really blew the gaff earlier with his more cuts needed.
You can't believe a word this duo say!

The Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G will join with the Samsung Galaxy S II and the HTC Amaze to form a rather powerful trio of Android handsets available from the nation's fourth largest carrier.
The Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G will get an early launch on March 21st from some selected retailers before launching throughout the T-Mobile ecosystem the next week. We were able to spend some time with the device at MWC 2012 in Barcelona and you can check out our Hands-on Review of the model.

Teachers and Researchers Exploring and Collaborating
There are similarities in the type and range of glacial features observed in the Antarctic Dry Valleys and on Mars. This journal focuses on the similarities between glacial landscapes on Earth and Mars. Watch my video introduction below and I will present some photographs of glacial features that are present in Central Beacon Valley and on Mars.
Debris-glaciers are characterized by thick piles of ice which move in a slow viscous motion. Most debris-covered glaciers originate through accumulation of debris on alpine glaciers. The debris that falls onto the glacier near the headwall may move within the glacier beneath the surface before rising toward the surface as the overlying ice sublimates (evaporates). The rate of ice sublimation is dependent on the thickness, porosity, and permeability of overlying debris. The contact between ice and overlying debris is smooth and dry, and mimics the modern ground surface. Notice in the below photo, that the debris-covered glacier displays concentric (round) surface ridges which indicate subsurface ice flow.
Mullins Glacier (on left) starts out as an alpine glacier and transitions to a debris glacier.
In the video below, Dave Marchant and Sean Mackay uncover buried ice beneath a debris glacier in Upper Beacon Valley.
Jackie Hams examines buried ice.
The photograph below illustrates examples of viscous flow on debris-covered glaciers in Beacon Valley and Mars.

Drop moraines are debris ridges that form as material that moves at the surface or within cold-based debris glaciers is dropped at the margins.

Polygons commonly form in permafrost regions due to near-surface thermal contraction. As seasonal temperatures drop, the ground shrinks, producing narrow cracks (a centimeter or so wide) that may extend several meters down into the ground. Viewed from above, the narrow cracks intersect to form polygons. These polygons may have a random in orientation or form well defined hexagonal and/or square patterns. In Beacon and Mullins valleys, these polygons range from 10 to 20 meters in diameter. There are several different types of polygons in the Dry Valleys, with each forming in specific environment. Near the coast, where liquid meltwater is plentiful in summer, ice-wedge polygons may form. In this case, the vertical cracks that outline polygons fill with water (which ultimately turns to ice as temperatures drop below 0C); this process produces the well-known ice-wedge polygons that are also typical of Arctic regions. The ice wedges are downward tapering, V-shaped forms that can be as much as three meters wide at the top. They grow incrementally, with a little ice added each year. Where temperatures in the Dry Valleys are too cold to produce significant meltwater, the vertical cracks that outline polygons are filled with sand, rather than water/ice; this process produces sand-wedge polygons -- the most common polygon found in the Dry Valleys region. A special subtype of sand-wedge polygon forms in areas with widespread subsurface ice, such as occurs in much of upper Beacon and Mullins valleys. Here, the vertical cracks are filled with relatively coarse sand (relative to nearby debris). This porous, coarse-grained sand permits enhanced vapor diffusions and sublimation of adjacent ice, creating deep sublimation troughs that outline high-centered polygons. Some of these troughs can be up to several meters deep. These high-centered polygons are known as sublimation polygons. Similar-appearing polygons occur on Mars and may also record locations of shallow, buried ice there.

Skyrocket SEO company has recently released another independent study on link building.
The study involved 315 experts, among whom were representatives of search engine marketing agencies (UK legion was represented by SeoRun and HTP, a young, ambitious and successful digital marketing agency Manchester), SEOs optimizators, freelancers and owners of advancing in the network business.
Link building expenses as for 2014
The results revealed that since the previous year the results have increased significantly both in the number of companies practising link building, as well as its costs (a growth from $10,000 to $50,000 per month is reported). If in 2013, these organizations were only 11%, while in 2014 their share had risen to 37%. At the same time the percentage of companies invested more than $50,000 has risen by 9%.
In general, statistics on the expenses of the link building is as follows:
37% of companies spend on external links from $10,000 to $50,000 per month, 23% – from $5,000 to $10,000; 20% – from $1,000 to $5,000 and 20% – less than $1,000. This is about numbers. As for the percentages of link building in promotion budget distribution for, they are as follows: 40% of organizations spend 51-75% of its budget on link building, 27% of companies spend 26-50% on developing backlinks, 27% allocate 25% of the total funds on building backlinks groundwork, and 7% invest in marketing link building 76-100% budget.

Dogs to the Rescue
After a major disaster strikes, search-and-rescue teams race to the site. Their mission: to locate and help survivors. Often, a key team member is a pooch. Search dogs are specially trained to sniff out survivors trapped in rubble. The National Disaster Search Dog Foundation trains many of the nation's search dogs, most coming from shelters and rescue groups. Read "Dogs to the Rescue" in the January 20 issue of TIME For Kids to learn more about the foundation and its founder, Wilma Melville. Also, watch the video above created by the foundation to see the dogs in action and hear about the foundation's plans for a national training center.

How to Secure Your PC's Disk Drives with BitLocker
You can bring encryption to your hard drive and USB flash drives using the Windows BitLocker tool. Concerned about someone accessing your PC's hard drive or flash drives and reading the information on them? You can add an extra layer of protection to all your drives with the Windows BitLocker feature. Designed to work on both internal and external drives, BitLocker encrypts your drives to prevent unauthorized access. As such, BitLocker is especially useful on a laptop or on flash drives that may get lost or stolen and fall into the wrong hands. BitLocker is not a substitute for your regular Windows password or other means of authentication. Rather BitLocker detects if someone tries to use your hard drive or flash drives on another PC or tries to boot up your PC using a DVD or flash drive. In that event, BitLocker prevents access to your encrypted drive. So, you should still have a Windows login password or other security method to safeguard your operating system. BitLocker has been around since Windows Vista days and continues to be an option with Windows 10. BitLocker is automatically built into Windows as part of the operating system, though it's turned off by … Read More

What You Need to Know to Protect Yourself from Ransomware
Ransomware was once again in the news. This time it was due to WannaCry, an attack that stretched across 150 countries and nearly 57,000 countries. The attackers used a Windows vulnerability only recently patched (March 2017), formerly used by the National Security Agency to secretly take control of computers. Determine If You Are Protected First off, check and make sure you are protected. If you are running Windows 10, click on Start, then Settings, click on Windows Update, click on Update History. If you have installed either the May 2017, April 2017 or March 2017 cumulative update for any of the Windows 10 that is in the market today, you are protected. If you are running Windows 7, click on Start, then Control Panel, then on Windows Update. Now click on View Update History. Scroll down and look for either March 2017, April 2017 or May 2017 updates to have been installed on your machine. If any of these monthly rollups have been installed, you are protected from this vulnerability. What If You're Running Windows XP and Server 2003? For businesses still running XP in critical locations that did not have a custom support agreement from Microsoft, this attack brought them to their knees. … Read More
How to Refresh Windows 7 When Trouble Hits
Yes, you can refresh or restore Windows 7 if you bump into problems. Here's how. Having difficulty with your Windows PC to the point where the OS itself isn't behaving. Windows 8.1 and 10 offer options to refresh or reset your PC, which can usually clear up even the most vexing problems. But what if you're still running Windows 7? There is no similar refresh or reset option. Are you out of luck? No, not if you've taken the necessary precautions. Windows 7 offers a System Restore option, which can return your PC back to an earlier point in time before the trouble occurred. What if you can't even boot up your PC? Windows 7 also provides its own Backup & Restore feature. Through this feature, you can create a startup and repair disc that boots up your PC if Windows 7 becomes unbootable. And by applying a system image from a disc or USB drive, you can restore Windows 7 back to its full glory. Let's go over the steps for using the Windows 7 System Restore and Backup & Restore features. System Restore A system restore is a snapshot in time of your existing Windows environment. Windows itself … Read More
Patch Watch: Do You Need a Firmware Update?
For those of you with Intel processors, it's time to see if you are vulnerable. Meanwhile we're business as usual for Windows updates and Flash updates. And if you use Microsoft's native antivirus protection, be sure that you've received the latest engine update to fix a critical flaw. Intel's Processors May Need Fixing Intel's processors are vulnerable to a flaw in Intel's Active management technology, Small Business Technology or Intel Standard Manageability software, and although I read that this "did not impact consumer PCs" I honestly ignored the warnings: "I follow security best practices. This can't impact my workstations." And then I used the Intel Detection Tool and determined that many of my workstations – especially in my office – did have the vulnerable code in my systems. So much for best security practices! Fortunately, while I may have the vulnerable code, the Active management technology is and was not ever enabled, and I don't have it set to be accessible from outside of my office. Thus I am not vulnerable to attack even though I may have the vulnerable code on my system. Nevertheless, I recommend that you scan your own system and see if it can detect what chipset you have and … Read More
Use Windows' Own Troubleshooters to Fix a Problem
Yes, Windows offers its own built-in troubleshooters. Here's how to tap into them. Oops, you're bumping into trouble with Windows. Maybe you can't connect to the Internet. Perhaps your audio has stopped working. Maybe your PC is blue screening. Or perhaps you're not sure of the cause of the problem but just know that your PC is acting funky. Where can you turn for help? You can turn to Windows itself. The OS offers its own built-in set of troubleshooting tools designed to scan for, analyze, and hopefully fix specific problems. The troubleshooters are available in Windows 10, 8.1, and 7. But whatever your flavor of Windows, the troubleshooters are usually a good first step when you're bothered by a persistent problem. In some cases, a Windows troubleshooter will pop up automatically if you experience a glitch in Windows. For instance, if an application crashes or your screen display suddenly goes on the fritz, then the appropriate troubleshooter may appear to try to save the day. In other cases, you'll have to manually trigger the right troubleshooter depending on the nature of the problem. Or if you're not sure what's causing trouble, you can run through the entire array of … Read More

Routt County will contribute $5,000 to help build recreational amenities at Elkhead Reservoir when the reservoir is enlarged.
The Routt County Board of Commissioners agreed Tuesday to set aside funds from the county's 2006 budget for the project. Those funds could supplement two $200,000 Great Outdoors Colorado grants for which the city of Craig is applying.
Dave Pike, parks and recreation director for Craig, said the county's support could help secure the grants.
"I think it would make the grant a lot more competitive ... if we have a lot of partners that concur that it truly is a regional facility," Pike said.
Applying for the grants is timely; matching funds are available because of the expansion, Pike said.
Elkhead, which spans the Routt-Moffat county line, is the only warm-water reservoir in the area and is suitable for summer recreation starting in spring, he said. About 75,000 visitors a year use the reservoir. More are expected when the reservoir is enlarged.
The GOCo grants could pay for new campgrounds and roads, boat ramps, grills and shade shelters, toilets, beaches, playgrounds and some trails.
Existing recreational facilities will be submerged when the reservoir expansion is completed.
Routt County Commissioner Doug Monger said that, as a user of the reservoir, he knows the reservoir is important to many people.
"I do believe this is a very good project for Routt and Moffat counties," Monger said.
The Elkhead Reservoir is being enlarged from 13,200 acre-feet to about 25,000 acre-feet. Of the new water, 5,000 acre-feet will supplement Yampa River flows to help endangered fish species. Another 2,000 acre-feet can be used for fish flows in times of drought during the next 20 years. The remaining water will be available for sale to water users.
The project has an estimated cost of $23 million and could be mostly finished by the fall of 2006, said Ray Tenney, senior water resources engineer with the Colorado River Water Conservation District.
The project is funded by the water conservation district and the Upper Colorado River Endangered Fish Recovery Program. Other partners in the project include the city of Craig, Colorado State Parks and the Craig Station Power Plant.
The water conservation district has promised to replace recreational amenities that are flooded when the reservoir is enlarged, Tenney said. Also, Colorado State Parks could commit as much as $1 million of additional recreational services.
The $400,000 GOCo grants would be matched with funds from the state parks and the water river district. The city of Craig has dedicated $10,000 to the project, and Routt County has dedicated $5,000. Moffat County, the city of Steamboat Springs and the town of Hayden also will be asked to contribute.

Cottman Transmission5225-C Indian River Rd Virginia Beach, Virginia United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Cottman worked on my Lexus in November of 09.I finally got it back in the beginning of January with a bill of $5500. My car started doing the exact same thing it was doing the first time I took it in there a year later. This time they said it was2 coils. He gave me the price to fix it. He said it was $391. I asked if he was getting parts from Lexus or from Autozone next door because I already checked on parts prices at Pepboys. I knew what the parts would cost at Autozone. I told him to give me a call back and let me know if they price was better with the Autozone parts. It would have cost me less. I didn't authorize the work yet. He called me back that afternoon and said the work was done. He never asked about the price or where the parts were coming from. He told me over the phone it was $321.00 Originally he told me it was $391.00 so I thought he must have gotten the parts from Autozone and saved me some money. I went in there with $321 in cash and his front man Rob said it was $434. He got "CE" on the phone and the guy called me a liar and said that he would never tell me$321 and that the $391 was only for parts and labor. Why would someone call you and tell you your vehicle was fixed and only tell you cost of parts and labor? When I asked for a price breakdown on parts, they couldn't give it to me, nor could they tell me where the parts came from.
I was still paying on the transmission from the lexus, and in addition to a promissary note that said I would pay him a lot more money per month (I had been paying him as much as I could almost every month since I got the car back), he told me he wouldn't give me my car back until I wrote out 12 post dated checks for $197.33. Legally he can screw me and cash them all. He said he wouldn't, but he lied before. He said the tax guys were after him and he needed the money, but I hadn't gotten even one phone call over the course of a year asking me for more money but he was definitely cashing the checks I was sending in.

I was trying to give you a little insight as to why this shop manager set out to upset you so badly you wouldn't come back.
By the way, I don't agree with the tactic, but I hope it worked.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

When a business owner tells you a price of finished work, that should be the price. In the USA, that is how it works. If he had given me the lower price and started doing the work and called me and said something else had come up and it was going to cost a little more, I would understand that. That didn't happen. I didn't authorize the work. He was supposed to call me back and give me information he OFFERED to get me. He offered to find out where the parts were coming from and if it would cost me less. When he called,he saidthe workwas done and gave me the price. He never got the information on where the parts were coming from. In case someone isn't aware that is reading this, Lexus dealership prices are more expensive than the auto parts shop that was 2 doors down from Cottman Transmission. The price he gave me on that phone call was a different price when I got to the shop to pay in cash the following business day. Why would an honest business man not give the total price after the work was done when he was calling the customer to say it was finished. He knew whatthe pricewas and he knew he jumped the gun doing work they weren't authorized to do.
The gentleman who replied to my first post basically said that anyone asking questions about a job orthe breakdown of a jobshould be refused services.With all the scams andcrooked businesses out there, who wouldn't ask questions to protect themselves. Those businesses who think that you shouldn't be able to ask questions are probably the ones people should be most careful of.

When I ranmy repair shop we spent time "educating" people like you.
1st 100% of the profit a properly run repair shop makes is on parts mark-up.
2nd If the pricing is done properly the labour rate is just enough to keep the lights on and the bills paid.
3rd We marked up parts by an amount determined tby our management not by the discount the supplier offers, or what Auto zone or Pep Boys charges.
4th A course I took in college pointed out that "10% of your customers should be fired, they take up an inordinate amount of time, try to chisel at your pay and will never be satisfied, you are better without them".
In my shop customers that shoped for parts pricing the way you do very often got told to come get their car and not come back.

A former security minister has warned that it would "look bad" for Britain if it were perceived to be trying to "hunt down and kill" Muammar Gaddafi.
Lord West, a former naval chief who served in the last Labour government, called for "clarity" as a clash of views surfaced between Britain's political and military leadership on Monday over whether the Libyan leader is a legitimate target for coalition forces.
Sir David Richards, chief of the defence staff, said on Monday that Gaddafi was "absolutely not" a target. But the defence secretary, Liam Fox, and the foreign secretary, William Hague, appeared to contradict him during the course of the day when they indicated that Gaddafi may be a legitimate target, raising concern about the ultimate aims of the hastily assembled international alliance.
The armed forces minister, Nick Harvey, has insisted that individuals would not be targeted though he said it would be "politically desirable" for Gaddafi to go. "But that is not the objective of the military campaign," said the minister.
But Colonel Richard Kemp, a former commander of British forces in Afghanistan, said he believed that ousting Gaddafi was the underlying motive though "not necessarily the stated strategy".
West said that though there was a "tacit understanding" that forces were not going out to kill the Libyan leader, there needed to be greater clarity.
"We need to be extremely careful; we're not into a campaign where part of it is to hunt him down and kill him, which is the image that would be given," West told BBC Radio 4 Today programme: "It would make it very difficult for the coalition if there was any feeling that was part of it."
He said there was "no real difference" between the cabinet and military, insisting that it had been more about the way views were put across on Monday and interpreted. But in a gentle sideswipe at Richards, West added that senior military figures needed to consider the political dimension when making statements.
West said he was impressed by the "latitude" provided in UN resolution 1973 to protect civilians from attacks by Libyan forces, but agreed with Richards, that its stipulations precluded the targeting of Gaddafi.
But he said that it "might happen" if coalition forces were targeting a headquarters where Gaddafi was in charge of an operation to kill his own people.
"I think there has to be a clarity of exactly what we are doing. I think there is a tacit understanding that we are not as I say going out and hunting to kill Gaddafi but that we are taking measures to hit these control centres, get rid of the integrated air defence system. That's where the difficulty is really going to come ... when we find rebels, for want of a better word, heavily armed, because they have taken over weapons, advancing on Gaddafi's troops. Now do we see our jobs to keep on taking out the heavy weaponry of Gaddafi?" said West, adding: "That I think is extremely tricky."
Kemp suggested that the underlying aim was to remove Gaddafi: "It is quite clear to me that the removal of Gaddafi is the strategy that's being pursued here," he told ITV's Daybreak programme.
"It's not necessarily the stated strategy but I think it's the intention of the west at least, not necessarily by directly attacking him or killing him, but by creating a division whereby he can be brought down by his opposition in the country, that would be probably the ideal situation … He needs to be removed before we can be sure that we are going to succeed in our objective of protecting the civilian population from attack."
Kemp said the operation was "vastly expensive" but added that people needed to ask the question "what price do you put on saving human lives?"
Public support for the action in Libya appears split, with 36% of respondents in a poll by the Sun newspaper opposed to the intervention.
A separate ComRes/ITV poll found that 53% of people think British forces shouldn't risk death to protect Libyans with just 35% agreeing military action is right.
Harvey said that the departure of Gaddafi was "very much the political objective of the British government", and that of the US, but the UN resolution was confined to "degrading the military threat" to the Libyan people.
"The targets will be the military targets which the coalition identifies as presenting a threat to the Libyan population and anyone who is at those targets ... regrettably becomes a target," he told BBC Breakfast News.
Harvey added: "So it will be politically desirable for Gaddafi to be gone but that is not the objective of the military campaign."
When pressed further on the apparent differences between the cabinet and the military, he said: "Our targets are not individuals, our targets are the military capability that runs the risk of presenting a threat to the Libyan population."
Asked what would happen if there were a stalemate and Gaddafi refused to go and the country was effectively divided, Harvey responded: "That is one possible outcome.
"If it is, so be it, that wouldn't be desirable. But a stable outcome where they weren't killing each other would in a sense be one way of achieving the humanitarian objective."
On the possible use of ground forces to protect civilians – if they are used in a more defensive role – and whether he could see UK troops doing this, he said: "I don't think we would at this stage rule anything in or rule anything out but I agree with the distinction that you draw between landing an occupying force and the use of anybody on the ground."

Obama on repeal: Go for it
posted at 5:08 pm on March 25, 2010 by Allahpundit
Oh, we're going for it, champ. Sort of. Maybe. At least for a few provisions. I think.
The cool, sweet fact of the matter is that the GOP has a lot to run on this fall. How shall we hammer them? Let us count the ways:
These are the tried-and-true issues for Republicans to hit: jobs, Medicare, the deficit, taxes and spending, and Congress. There will be other messages out there, but individually each of these would be very potent. Running on them all in a single election is something else entirely. If the Republicans pick up lots of seats in November, some Republican campaign "guru" will come out of the woodwork to claim credit – but c'mon, the ads write themselves.
The GOP need not and will not focus primarily on the idea of "repeal," which is far too vague. That's not to say that the party shouldn't promise repeal. It's just to say that its rhetorical emphases should – and will – focus on the messages that have been proven over the years to be effective.
One of the virtues of the repeal push is that it touches on all of those issues, so it becomes a conversation-starter about the Dems' broader bread-and-butter failures. That's a nifty way to appeal to centrists while simultaneously rallying the tea-party base against the mother of all welfare-state incursions. Coalition-building! Expect plenty of pushback of the sort you're about to see vis-a-vis heartless Republicans — like these? — from people who need them. Never, ever forget: There are no trade-offs in utopia.
So confident is The One in his ability to win this argument with Republicans that he's … already reminding voters not to expect any major improvements overnight. Patience, America. It'll work. Someday.

Friona Public Library was established in 1963 as a project of the Modern Study Club and other interested citizens of the community. It began with a core reference collection of 150 books provided by the Texas State Library and as many donated books as the members could gather together . In fact the library's first home was in the Women's Federated Clubhouse.
In 1968 the library became part of the City of Friona and was moved to the Old Syndicate Hotel Building south of the City Park. Our Friends of the Library group was chartered that same year.
In 1972, the library became a charter member of the Texas Panhandle Library System by meeting the criteria of having at least 10,000 volumes and being open to the public at least 20 hours per week.
In 1982 with continued public and grant support the building at our current location of 109 W. 7th was constructed. Most recently in April 2000 the library was renovated and expanded to include over 6,000 square feet of library space.
In 1987 the library became a participant in the Harrington Library Consortium, a multii-type library electronic network made up of over 50 Panhandle Libraries and Branches.
Friona Public Library currently has over 30,000 volumes and a fulltime staff of 3 and 1 part-time employee. It is open 45 hours per week from 9 to 6 Monday through Friday. With local touch global reach our library welcomes you!

Child in Need: Sisters seek mentors
After 14 years of employment, almost 500 matches and more than 150 "Child in Need/Waiting for a Mentor" articles at Kinship Partners, this will be the last time I ask you to consider becoming a mentor to one of the kids on our waiting list. I will be retiring from work on July 26 so getting these two little girls matched would be a fine way to end this career!
New to our program and to Brainerd, Molly, 6 years old; and Anna, 9 years old, are eagerly waiting for an adult friend. They have had to leave friends, family members and everything that was "home" to them. Molly, who is more outgoing than her older sister, has started making new friends but she is apprehensive about starting school in September. She is a friendly, fun-loving little girl. She enjoys bike riding, swimming, baking cookies and working on art projects.
Anna tends to be more cautious. As the oldest of three children, she also is responsible, caring and kind. She loves swimming, playing board and video games, bike riding, baking, and arts and crafts. Her favorite subject in school is science so she also loves anything having to do with nature.
Mom knows the move to Brainerd has been tough on her family and she realizes the girls would benefit from having another caring, adult in their lives. Someone for them to talk to and have fun with will help tremendously with their adjustment to a new area.
Kinship Partners serves families in Crow Wing County, southern Cass County and the Staples/Motley area by providing positive role models to youth from the ages of 5 to 14. We have offices in Brainerd, Pequot Lakes, Crosby and Staples. For more information about Kinship Partners or any of the kids on our waiting list, call (218) 829-4606, toll free at (877) 730-5437 or visit our website at www.kinshippartners.org.
On a final note, I want to thank everyone in the Brainerd Lakes Area who has taken the time to become a mentor or has supported our program in any other way. Thank you also to the parents and children who have been a part of our program. I admire your willingness to take a chance on finding an adult friend. Partnerships can only be successful if mentor, parent and child all support the relationship. These past 14 years of employment have been priceless!
