Male, ad sales rep, 28
Female, fashion PR associate, 27
7:10 p.m. – Wake up from a nap trying to recover from a late night out. I have twenty minutes to get ready before my 7:30 drink. It's a blind date set up by a friend's mother, a scenario which I know must have about a 0% success rate.
7:30 – I'm still groggy when I arrive at the bar, searching for a blonde girl in a blue sweater. It's a normally mellow bar that's been inexplicably overtaken by about eight roaring-drunk firemen. I'm not awake enough to handle this.
7:35 – Blonde girl with blue sweater enters the bar just as I find a single barstool squeezed in between a loud drunk fireman and an old man reading The New Yorker. (It's a study in contrasts.) We introduce ourselves and run through the usual "blind dates are weird but worth a try" dialogue, and then she sees another single barstool open a few stools down. She then asks the firemen to slide down to make room for her.
7:40 – While we're awkwardly getting to know each other, a drunk fireman walks over and says, "Hey man, just gotta say, you really shouldn't send a girl over to ask us to move. Be a man."
7:40:05 – I want to go back to bed.
8:00 – I order my second drink, having already kind of decided that I'm not going to try to transition this to a dinner. This girl takes herself very seriously and seems to believe this is some kind of business meeting.
8:15 – Girl in blue sweater tells me that she has five questions she always asks a guy on the first date. She tells me she's "serious about meeting someone and doesn't have any time to waste." Shit. I try to make a joke, saying I only ask one question on a first date: "Do you have a questionnaire you use on first dates? That tells me all I need to know." She doesn't laugh.
8:30 – I'm sitting with an empty drink, not willing to order another and drag this on. She now knows that my parents are happily married and I do want kids someday. These are good answers, she tells me. She asks me if I would be willing to move away from the East Coast for a job. I say yes, and she makes a small grunt of disapproval. Trick question!
8:35 – It's officially been an hour and I need to end this. I keep trying to make eye contact with the bartender to get the bill. On his fourth pass (I counted) he brings the bill. I say it was great to meet her, and before I know what I'm saying, I tell her, "Yeah, we should do it again sometime." We both know we won't and I wish I hadn't said it.
9:05 – I'm back in bed. No more blind dates from friend's mothers.

Seneca rounds up drug suspects
On a cold, windy morning the Seneca police are trying to clear their city of drug law violators. Chief John Covington says this roundup of 41 suspects, wanted on 60 arrest warrants, arises from six months' investigation by his department's narcotics unit. Suspects are wanted for offenses including distribution of cocaine, crack cocaine, marijuana, controlled substances, manufacturing methamphetamine, possession with intent to distribute marijuana and hashish, and unlawful sale of a handgun. Covington says later today he'll release a list of those charged and their alleged offenses. In this roundup, Seneca officers are getting help from the Oconee Sheriff's Office and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division.

|After performing some 400 marriages in all kinds of situations and outfits, you could call Ronny Glossup "The Love Judge"
|Patti Sells | News-Telegram Feature Editor
Feb. 20, 2004 -- Between arraignments, evictions, landlord/tenant issues, civil court, truancy and the signing of death certificates, Precinct 2 Justice of the Peace Ronny Glossup said the adventure of uniting couples is definitely among his more pleasurable duties.
By proxy, by boat, behind bars and barefoot, Glossup has dressed up and dressed down to perform his fair share of unusual unions.
"I've worn all kinds of stuff," said the Precinct 2 justice of the peace, who has been asked to wear anything from tuxedos to boots and jeans and even shorts and flip-flops.
Glossup has united couples on a barge in the middle of Cooper Lake as well as a few dressed in Western attire and on horseback.
"I always offer them the redneck version," Glossup said. "I say, 'You 'ont to?' And they say, 'A'ite."
According to Glossup, he has performed almost 400 ceremonies since he took office in 1995.
"One couple even had me handcuff them together and left the office that way. I'm not sure what that was all about," he laughed.
While Valentine's Day is always a favorite wedding date, Glossup said he has performed ceremonies at midnight on New Year's Eve, as well as on the Fourth of July.
"Yeah, this little couple decided to do it spur of the moment, and the bride just walked outside barefoot and I married them under a shade tree," he recalled of his last Independence Day ceremony.
Another couple he wed chose to get married at 8 a.m. on a Monday morning, he recalled.
"That's a real unusual hour to want to tie the knot," laughed Glossup. "I guess they wanted to start their week off married."
Glossup said that he has even married folks on their lunch break.
"Most of the time people will just drop by," Glossup said. "Or my secretary will call me up and say, 'Do you have time to do a wedding?'"
A ceremony can last anywhere from five minutes to 45 minutes for Glossup, as he occasionally performs traditional ceremonies, as well.
"I've married couples in just about every church in the county," he said.
There are lots of reasons people might get married by a justice of the peace, Glossup explained.
"Some people might not go to a church or have a pastor, but mostly it's because it's cheaper than a church wedding," he said, "There are no arrangements to make, and people can just drop by (providing they have a marriage license.) A lot of folks would rather spend the money on a honeymoon trip to Vegas or the Bahamas."
But for some couples, a honeymoon night at home is excitement enough.
"I married a man that was about 88 years old and his bride was 87," recalled Glossup. "When I asked them where they were going to spend their honeymoon, they said they were going home to watch 'Wheel of Fortune.'"
Unfortunately for some couples Glossup has married, the honeymoon has been spent behind bars.
"I've married couples when both the bride and groom were in jail," he said. "Or one might be and the other not. I usually ask the officer if he will give them just a minute or two to hug and kiss. That's about all they can do when they're incarcerated."
Glossup has even performed one wedding by proxy.
"The groom was in prison and had his mother stand in for him," remembered Glossup. "That was real strange. It was very awkward to say 'Do you take this woman?' to another woman. I was scared to death wondering if they were going to kiss at the end."
For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer and in sickness and in health, Glossup said he has experienced it all -- even a few so called "shotgun weddings."
"Parents will come in here with a little ol' young couple," he explained. "They're usually from a neighboring county and want to keep things quiet, but I kinda know what's going on."
It's not uncommon, according to Glossup, for some unwed couples expecting a child to change their minds about marriage.
"I guess at the last minute they decide they want to make things right," said Glossup. "I've had 'em get married in my office and go to the hospital that night to have a baby."
In spite of all the various situations and circumstances, some comical and some not, Glossup takes the subject of matrimony and his role to heart.
"I've seen a lot of unusual weddings, but I take my job and marriage very serious," said Glossup, who believes in the phrase "'til death do you part."
"When I talk to young people, I always tell them to wait until they're really ready, and to make sure they are ready," he said. "I try to instill in them that it needs to be with somebody they truly love.
"I mean, this is someone you are going to spend the rest of your life with," added Glossup, who has been married to his wife Anita for almost 37 years. "People need to realize when you get married, when we say 'I do,' we are not our own anymore. We belong to each other. When decisions are made it affects each of you. You have got to stop and consider the other (spouse)."
But according to Glossup, some people don't seem to understand the importance of marriage vows and their meaning any more, and that is evident in the divorce rate today.
"If couples would set their minds to working it out, then they would," Glossup explained. "Marriage is not giving 50 percent of yourself, it's giving 100 percent, all the time. A man and a woman both have to give completely."
Glossup said that he always tries to give couples "some direction."
"I always tell couples, 'You fell in love with each other for who they are, so don't go trying to change them into something they're not," he said. "'God made us all different and you knew this when you fell in love with this person.' I tell them, 'You need to always be each other's best friend and not let anyone else get closer to the other than you are. You have to be able to forgive and not hold grudges and live each day that you might share it together.'"
Glossup said that he believes a marriage should be based on Biblical principles and uses scripture and prayer in all his weddings.
"I believe that's the way it's suppose to be done," he said. "I've had people not want me to say 'God' or want anything religious. I've done it once before and I didn't feel good about it. I won't ever do it again. They'll just have to find someone else, because I think you need to base the foundation of your marriage in God. You need to always look to God for leadership and direction and always be able to forgive."
We're all just human, Glossup said, and people are bound to mess up occasionally.
"If you love someone, you've got to be able to forgive," he said. "People are gonna hurt you, and you've got to be able to work through it."

Even Jim O'Neill is asking if the BRICs need reinforcing 11 years after he coined the term to describe the world's future powerhouse economies.
Mr O'Neill, chairman of Goldman Sachs Asset Management, said his thesis that Brazil, Russia, India and China would together increasingly buoy the global economy faces "a more challenging test" as investors dump the countries' stocks.
China has pared its growth target to the lowest since 2004, Standard & Poor's may cut India's investment-grade credit rating, Brazil is on pace to expand less than 3 per cent for a second straight year and falling oil prices may hurt Russia.
A slowdown in the four countries is a new threat to a world economy suffering its weakest spell since the 2009 recession, which the BRICs helped shorten by contributing about half the world expansion since 2007.
Leaders meeting for the G20 in Mexico on Sunday are expressing concern. Brazilian President
Rich-nation policymakers "are so wrapped up in their own problems, they're praying some of this weakness is just temporary in the BRICs," Mr O'Neill said . "If it's not, then it's pretty worrying."
Economists at Morgan Stanley, Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Citigroup are scaling back their forecasts for emerging markets.
In a sign of the economic threats surrounding the BRICs, Citigroup's surprise index, which measures how much data misses predictions, is at minus 81.1 for the group, down from 15.8 three months ago and the weakest of all its gauges.
Investors have moved out of emerging market equity funds for eight of the past 10 weeks, and asset managers now have their lowest exposure to such markets since October, a BoAML survey found this past week.
The capital flight is driving down stock prices, and the MSCI BRIC Index, which tracks the group's biggest equities, is down 25 per cent from a year ago.
The Indian rupee, Russian rouble and Brazilian real are the three worst-performing currencies this quarter among 25 emerging-market currencies tracked by Bloomberg.
After China's growth moderated in the past five quarters and gross domestic product rose 8.1 per cent in the first three months of the year, consumer prices rose the least in two years in May and manufacturing expanded at the slowest pace in six months. The government is targeting growth of 7.5 per cent this year.
India's 5.3 per cent expansion in the first quarter was the weakest in nine years and S&P warns the country may be downgraded unless growth picks up and political roadblocks to decision-making are overcome. Brazil's 0.8 per cent growth in the first quarter from the same period a year ago also undershot forecasts, even after policymakers cut taxes and interest rates to revive consumer spending.
Although Russia's economy unexpectedly accelerated in the first quarter, expanding 4.9 per cent from a year earlier, the government projects growth of no more than 4 per cent in the coming years as output of oil, the nation's biggest export, stagnates. The price of oil is down about 18 per cent this year.
While Europe's crisis is sapping export demand – Chinese shipments to the region have fallen three in the first five months of the year – some of the brakes on growth are homespun. JPMorgan Chase cited China's efforts to cool inflation and demand for property, as well as limited lending from Brazilian banks. Its economists now expect emerging markets' growth of 4.5 per cent, down from a previous estimate of 5.2 per cent.
G20 leaders start arriving in Mexico on Sunday, the same day as parliamentary elections in Greece. With the threat of Greece exiting the euro hanging over the summit, BRIC leaders, who for years have been seeking a bigger say in how the global economy is run, will come under pressure to detail contributions to the International Monetary Fund. The Washington-based lender said in April that it is boosting its financial firewall by $US430 billion.
O'Neill, who coined the BRICs term in 2001 and was Goldman Sachs Group's chief economist until September 2009, estimates that China last year generated the economic equivalent of Greece every 11½ weeks, while the group contributed about $US2.2 trillion, almost the equivalent of Italy's GDP.
Weakness in China alone has the potential to reinforce woes elsewhere. Brazilian soy, iron ore and other commodity exports to the largest emerging economy are already on course for their worst performance in a decade.
Caterpillar, the world's largest maker of construction and mining equipment, in April identified slowing demand and revenues in China and Brazil. WPP chief executive Martin Sorrell said on June 13 that the biggest international advertising agency is "increasingly wary" of a slowdown in traditionally high-growth economies.
Europe's difficulties could also escalate if its countries suffer falling demand from previously strong markets, according to David Lubin, head of emerging market economics at Citigroup in London.
Greece, for example, saw an 82 per cent increase in shipments to China last year, according to a March report from the Greek embassy in Beijing. China is Germany's fifth-biggest trading partner, buying €64.8 billion ($82 billion) of its goods last year.
"A country that is potentially insolvent could be tipped into actual insolvency if external demand is weak enough," Mr Lubin said. "If creditworthiness is partly explained by how strong a country's export growth is likely to be, then weak Chinese data plays negatively into the market's confidence about Europe."
Alberto Ades, co-head of global economics research at BoAML, estimates that given their combined size, a 1 percentage point drop in the GDP of emerging markets is the equivalent of a 1.7 point fall in the US. He predicts developing economies will expand 5.3 per cent this year, down from a 5.5 per cent estimate at the start of the year.
"When you think about emerging markets driving growth, what happens to them is pretty significant," he said in a telephone interview.
Policymakers are responding where they can. China last week cut borrowing costs for the first time since 2008, while Brazil's central bank has signalled it will reduce its benchmark rate for an eighth straight time in July after cutting it to a record low 8.5 per cent in May.
China may also introduce additional stimulus to protect its growth target, and Indian Prime Minister
Officials may have less room for action than five years ago when the global financial turmoil began, according to Mr Ades. Inflation in emerging markets, fuelled by the boom years, is sticky, and interest rates adjusted for prices are below their pre-crisis levels in Latin America and low in Asia, he said.
Government debt loads are also higher, with the combined emerging-market fiscal deficit at 1.6 per cent of GDP last year compared with 0.2 per cent in 2008, according to Mr Ades. Debt ratios could soar if emerging market currencies that are overvalued by as much as 60 per cent lose strength, said Walter Molano, head of research for BCP Securities.
"The marketing hype surrounding the BRICs has run its course," said Mr Molano, who regularly travels to eastern Europe, Asia and Latin America.
To be sure, emerging markets have pockets of strength, with record international reserves and bigger than ever domestic capital markets. The group will expand at an average pace of 5.5 per cent this year, compared with 1.4 per cent for developed countries, according to IMF estimates in April. A Societe Generale poll of emerging market investors released in the past week found 47 per cent bearish toward emerging markets in the near term, an improvement from 79 per cent in May.
Mr O'Neill, who recently published a book The Growth Map: Economic Opportunity in the BRICs and Beyond, said he is more concerned by Brazil's weak growth and India's policy paralysis than he is by China, which he says remains on track to become a more consumer-led economy.
He remains "relatively sanguine" that his world view is intact a decade since he and colleagues at Goldman Sachs predicted that the countries would join the US and Japan as the world's biggest economies by 2050. The BRICs moved from 11 per cent of global GDP in 1990 to about 25 per cent in 2011 and are on course to reach 40 per cent by 2050, Goldman Sachs said in a December report, which also said their potential growth rates have probably peaked.
"The idea countries always grow at a ridiculous rate was never the case," Mr O'Neill said. "The fact they've been disappointing for one or two quarters is neither here nor there."

The Real Rain Man Kim Peek Mega Savant
Tell Kim Peek any address in the United States and he?ll recite the local highways and byways, area and zip codes, television stations and interesting historical events ? oh, he?ll also tell you where you can go to pay your telephone bill. Ask Kim to button his shirt and he?ll return nothing more than a blank stare. Such is the genius, and disability, of the Real Rain Man.
Kim was diagnosed as severely mentally retarded at the age of nine months and the doctor, in a hurry to make a tee time, recommended Kim be institutionalized ? and forgotten. Undeterred, Kim?s parents took him home and have spent the following five decades as eyewitnesses to a sometimes wonderful, and always curious, medical mystery.
Consider the frustration of Kim?s mother when he did not walk until age four. Consider her amazement when he completed memorizing the first eight volumes of the encyclopedia a scant six months later. Consider that at the age of fifty-four he is incapable of dressing himself. Consider that he can instantly recall the exact content of more than 12,000 books. Consider?
Kim reads both pages of a book simultaneously, one with the left eye and one with the right, devoting a mere ten seconds to each standard page of text. Unbowed by brevity, Kim recalls the details of his furious forays at a 98.7% accuracy rate. Consider?
Give Kim your birth date and he will tell you on which day of the week you were born, on which day your birthday will fall this year and, in anticipation of the proverbial gold-watch-moment, on which day of the week your sixty-fifth birthday will fall. Consider...
Unlike most savants, who exhibit a single area of extreme expertise, Kim is a Mega Savant, exhibiting genius in more than a dozen areas, including History, Geography, World Leaders, Space, Sports, Math, Movies, Shakespeare and the Bible. Consider...
Kim is a complex tangle of ?skills and ills? ? a truly dichotomous representation of the genius to which we all aspire and the childlike simplicity fr! om which we each evolve.
Virtually unknown prior to Dustin Hoffman's portrayal, Kim has since delighted over a million seminar attendees who have come, clutching arcane facts in eager hands, in vain attempts to take the master to task. He lives in Salt Lake City with his octogenarian father, Fran, who to this day tends to those everyday dilemmas of undone shoelaces and unbuttoned shirts that exist beyond the realm of Kim?s genius.
Says Kim of his relationship with his constant companion, caregiver and friend, ?Dad and I share the same shadow.?

Bill Would Expand State's Gun-Storage Requirement
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A bill that is close to passing the Legislature would require gun owners to lock up their weapons if they live with someone who is legally prohibited from owning a firearm.
The legislation from Democratic Sen. Rod Wright of Inglewood expands the state's gun-storage law to those who know or should know they are living with someone who is not allowed to possess firearms.
The state's list of people who cannot legally own weapons includes those who have a felony conviction, a violent misdemeanor, a determination that they are mentally unstable or a domestic violence restraining order.
Supporters, including the California Police Chiefs Association, say the requirement would help prevent unlawful access to guns.
The Assembly passed SB363 Tuesday, 62-8, sending it back to the Senate for a final vote.

No. 3 Unhealthiest State: Arkansas
Southern state Arkansas slipped one spot to the make the bottom three this year. Almost 700,000 adults in the state are obese, which is around the same number that live a sedentary lifestyle — the state is the 44th-worst for each statistic.
The third highest rate of smoking and a high number of children in poverty also weigh on the state's shoulders. A whopping 27% of the adult population smokes, while the percentage of children in poverty climbed from just more than 21% to over 25% in the past year alone.
A few bright spots: Arkansas at least has moderate immunization coverage and per capita health funding. It also has a low rate of binge drinking. The rates of preventable hospitalizations and infant mortality also have been decreasing, but the state still lags behind others for those numbers.

Lindsay Lohan and David Letterman Prank Call Oprah on Last Night's "Late Show"
LINDSAY LOHAN was on "Letterman" last night . . . and during her interview, she and Dave prank called OPRAH WINFREY. It wasn't much of a "prank call," but Dave did pretend to be Lindsay's secretary at first.
It's unclear how much of it was planned, but Oprah DID seem surprised. When Dave asked Oprah how Lindsay was doing, she didn't have a ringing endorsement. She said, quote, "I think she's doing really OK . . .
"Uh, you know, to have cameras following you around through every phase of your life, and you're trying to pull your life together, I think that's a really difficult thing . . . she's making some progress." (Here's video.)

College of Liberal Arts
General Education (Core) Requirements
The general education requirements for the College of Liberal Arts provide a foundation upon which students then pursue expertise in a specific area of study. They foster the ability to speak and write clearly and to increase facility at logical analysis, critical thinking and quantitative reasoning. They ensure that every student will have knowledge of a foreign language and the natural sciences as well as background in the humanities, social sciences and the arts, including an awareness of issues of diversity, gender and cultures other than their own.
Additionallly, students complete the outcome-based core curriculum, which consists of two levels of learning outcomes: foundational and embedded. All undergraduate students must meet the foundational learning outcomes, which are the same for all students, regardless of discipline or major. Embedded learning outcomes are included in the core requirements of particular degrees or plans of study and are addressed within discipline-specific programs and majors.
A list of the specific courses that may be used for meeting the foundational learning outcomes can be found here.

Are you moving to Spain? It is wise to make a list of items you would bring with you. Of course, it is not advisable to bring everything you own when you move. But you could choose the items that are if utmost importance to you. When you finally make a list, it would be advisable to start packing the items as early as you could. Doing so a few weeks before the actual relocation would be advisable.
What should you bring with you when you relocate to the country? It is advisable to bring only items that you truly would use in your new house. If buying new items in Spain would be more practical and reasonable, why no leave your old stuff or sell them for profits before leaving your old address? After all, shipping boxes to Spain would still cost you a significant amount of money even if you are relocating from a nearby country. Buying new household items would prove to be a reasonable and practical thing to do.
If you have bulky and heavy furniture, think twice before deciding to take them with you. Moving or shipping such items would be very costly. Again, it would be more advisable if you would instead decide to leave behind or sell those and resolve to buy replacements or new items when you move to Spain. Chances are, you would find and buy better items at more reasonable costs compared to the expense you may incur when you decide to move them when you relocate to Spain.

What other small items should you put in shipping boxes to Spain? Small personal items with sentimental importance to you could be brought especially if you think they would not make any shipping box heavier. Old family photos, your CD collection, and important documents should not be left behind unless you really think it would be wise for you to do so. But be careful when deciding to take them with you. It should be your goal not to bring in clutter when you move to your Spanish address.
If you do not like the idea of packaging your items, you could contact a removals or shipping company that also provides the service. The removal firm could do the packing for you. However, be reminded that getting such a service would incur additional costs on your part. You should also allocate an entire day for you to oversee or supervise the packing activity. That is if you do not want to leave important items behind. This should be done again a few weeks before moving.
The removal or shipping firm could even provide you with the necessary packages or boxes, but for additional costs. Shipping boxes to Spain could be a complete shipment service for added fees. If you are intending to save on costs, it would be wise for you to do the packing yourself. You could also buy cheaper shipping boxes where you could put and store your items to prepare them for the relocation.

Police charge two with stealing large amounts of scrap metal
Police in two Westmoreland County communities reported separate arrests of two men in the theft of large amounts of scrap metal in Southwestern Pennsylvania.
Tips from McKeesport police led CSX railroad police to charge Joseph Peter Carilli Jr., 32, of 113 N. Second St., Apt. 104, West Newton, with 114 complaints of criminal trespass and theft. Carilli is accused of committing 50 to 60 thefts since February along CSX tracks in West Newton, McKeesport and Clairton, police said.
Penn Township police said they caught Jeffery M. Miller, 31, of 7816 Edgewood Ave., Pittsburgh, stealing large amounts of aluminum shavings from a large recycling container, owned by Export-based Versa-Tech Inc., at 2:13 a.m. Thursday.
As police approached Miller, he said, "I know ... I'm guilty. I needed to do this for the money. Are you going to take me to jail?" Penn Township Officer Sean Foor said.
Miller filled seven garbage cans with aluminum shavings, Foor alleges. Police were keeping an eye on the facility after company officials complained about recent thefts of metal scraps, according to an affidavit of probable cause filed before Harrison City District Judge Helen Kistler.
Miller is charged with theft, possessing instruments of crime, receiving stolen property and driving on a suspended license.
Police tracked Carilli after his pickup was towed March 14 from CSX property in McKeesport. Carilli had fled the scene, but according to an affidavit filed on Oct. 31 by CSX police before West Newton District Judge Charles Christner, his truck was found loaded with about $800 worth of metal track material.
Police received another tip on May 16 that Carilli was still stealing from area railroad yards, according to the affidavit.
In an interview the following day with an agent from CSX, Carilli allegedly admitted targeting railroad property, the affidavit alleges.
"I try to get a load together about every other day. I go out and walk the tracks picking up everything I can, " Carilli said.
When his truck was towed in March, Carilli told the agent, he walked three miles between McKeesport and Port Vue picking up metal scraps before he spotted McKeesport police approaching and ran.
Police said Carilli often had his former girlfriend accompany him to scrapyards because officials became suspicious about his numerous trips.
Carilli is incarcerated in the Westmoreland County Prison in lieu of $25,000 bond. A preliminary hearing will be held Nov. 14 before Christner.
Miller was freed on a recognizance bond. A preliminary hearing will be held on Tuesday before Kistler.
Reporter Stacey Federoff contributed.

Nimbus III was the inhabited third planet in its star system. It was orbited by at least two moons. Nimbus III was established as a "Planet of Galactic Peace" in 2267 after the Federation-Klingon War. (Star Trek V: The Final Frontier)
Location Edit
Nimbus III was located in the Neutral Zone. This planet was located in the same quadrant as the Sol system. (Star Trek V: The Final Frontier)
In 2371, the location of Nimbus III was labeled in the star chart Data and Picard were studying in stellar cartography aboard the USS Enterprise-D. (Star Trek Generations, okudagram)
The location of Nimbus III was labeled on a star chart in astrometrics on USS Voyager in 2376. (VOY: "Child's Play", okudagram)
History Edit
In 2267, after the war, the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon and Romulan Empires agreed to mutually develop the planet, in the hopes that it would serve as a model for a new age of peace and understanding. An advertisement broadcasted from the planet claimed it to be "...famous for its wildlife and the fishing is terrific." Individuals who wished to move to this planet could finance their trip through Federation Federal. In reality, the planet was a desert world and the colonists chosen for the undertaking were among the most unscrupulous individuals in the galaxy, quickly taking to fighting amongst each other, fashioning their own crude weapons after the planetary government forbade weapons from them.
In 2287, the Human St. John Talbot was the Federation representative stationed on Nimbus III. General Korrd was the Klingon representative and Caithlin Dar the Romulan. All three were captured and telepathically brainwashed by the renegade Vulcan Sybok when his "Galactic Army of Light" took over the planet's capital and only settlement, Paradise City. By taking the representatives hostage, his plan was to attract a starship to the planet, that he would commandeer to take them all to the planet thought to be Sha Ka Ree.
The USS Enterprise-A and Klaa's Bird-of-Prey responded to the hostage crisis. The Enterprise-A was commandeered by Sybok. Captain Klaa followed them, after intercepting a distress call from Captain James T. Kirk. (Star Trek V: The Final Frontier)
Appendices Edit
See also Edit
Background information Edit
In a deleted scene from TNG: "Family", the hologram of Jack Crusher stated that one of Wesley's ancestors was a horse thief on Nimbus III. [1]
According to the Star Trek: Star Charts (p. 66) and the Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library ("Federation Historical Highlights, 2161-2385"), the Nimbus system was located in the Beta Quadrant. The primary was a F-class star.
The Star Trek Encyclopedia (4th ed., vol. 2, p. 83) classified Nimbus III as a class M planet.
Apocrypha Edit
The computer game Star Trek Online originally placed the Nimbus system in the Nimbus sector at the junction between the Federation, the Klingon Empire and the Romulan Star Empire. Its location was subsequently changed to sit very near Romulus system, and far from the Klingon border.
Several Star Trek Online missions take place on Nimbus III, which is depicted as having been taken over by the Orion Syndicate by 2409. The Tal Shiar and Elachi also have a secret base there.

Happy Thursday! This week has been all about getting out of that winter funk with scrummy recipes, gorgeous home decor, and beautiful blue flowers. Luckily mother nature has been playing along with this week's theme by giving us some refreshingly warm weather, so tonight we figured that we should take full advantage and grill. Anyone else taking advantage of this weather?
Tonight we're having Grilled Stuffed Poblano Peppers. Emily introduced me to this recipe last summer and it has become one of my absolute favorites! They are super easy to make and with the grill there is very little cleanup. I suggest serving it with rice or maybe grilled potato slices. For the craft this week, I have a new sewing project to share, DIY Oven Mitts. I free handed the pattern based off one that I already had, but I found a great printable pattern here. It's not exactly perfect, but I can't wait to try it out tonight!
What are you cooking tonight?
Grilled Stuffed Poblano Peppers
adapted from Emily Ross
What you need:
- 10 poblano peppers
- 1 can black beans
- 1/2 white onion, diced
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 1/2 green bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/8 tsp cumin
- 1 tbs olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
What to do:
Start the grill. In a medium sized skilled heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute for 2 minutes. Add green bell peppers and continue to saute for another two minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. Next drain the black beans and put them into a medium sized skilled. Cook over medium heat. Using a fork, gently mash some (not all!) of the black beans, add cumin, and saute for 2 minutes. Add the onion mixture and fresh cilantro and stir to mix and set aside.
Next cut off the stems of the poblano peppers and remove the insides. Stuff the peppers with bean mixture and place them on the grill. Grill for approximately 3 minutes, turn them to the other side and then grill for an additional 3 minutes. Serve with guacamole and sour cream!
DIY Oven Mitt
by Stephania Stanley
What you need:
- 1/2 yard fabric (I chose to use the same for the inner and outer fabric, but you can definitely mix it up!)
- 1/4 yard insulated batting
- scrap fabric for bottom border and loop
- sewing machine & matching thread
What you do:
Using your pattern, cut out two oven mitt shapes for the inner fabric, two for the outer fabric, and two of the insulated batting. Make sure that you flip two of the fabric cutouts so that they match up correctly. Create two separate sandwiches with the inner fabric on the bottom, batting, and then the outer fabric on top. Secure in place with pins.
Secure the sandwich together by sewing a pattern. I chose the traditional grid, but you can do stripes, swirls, flowers, whatever you would like here.
Next you will make the bottom border. Cut two pieces of scrap fabric that are about 1/4" longer than the base of your mitt and about 1" wide. Fold both horizontal edges in so that the edges meet in the middle. Fold and pin the border around the bottom edge of the mitt (making sure that the border is right side out). Repeat with second half of the mitt and border. Sew in place.
Match mitt halves together with the inner fabric facing out and sew in place with about 1/4" seam. Flip the fabric so that it is right side out.
Using ribbon or scrap fabric, create a 1/4" loop by sewing edges in to create the clean edge. Hand sew loop to the inside of the mitt.

Had such an apportionment been in place in 2000, Al Gore would have won the electoral college vote and become president.
I wondered if the man Dimpdin would suggest the apportionment of flasks to soldiers, in his Evangelical report!
(b) Changes in the apportionment of the target among the subdivisions.
But the apportionment of districts was such that the legislature contained a majority for Douglas.
See Schuyler i, 286 on the apportionment of water to Samarkand and Bukhr.
There was also some difficulty over the apportionment of the debt.
What is the principle of apportionment of the members of each house?
The apportionment bill, as received from the House of Representatives, was taken up.
There should be no mistake made as to the apportionment of blame.
Backed by the second personage, who wore hair on his cheeks, he dictated the apportionment.
The allocation of seats in a legislature or of taxes according to a plan. In the United States Congress, for example, the apportionment of seats in the House of Representatives is based on the relative population of each state, whereas the apportionment in the Senate is based on equal representation for every state.

The Daily Pic: Francois Curlet made a funereal Jaguar, then filmed it as a thriller's prop.
His detective novels contain none of the twists that strain credulity so often relied upon by thriller novelists.
That year was the first time that all the thriller writers gathered together to form ITW [International thriller Writers].
I turned my radio off and I could still hear the melodic beats from thriller up and down Rodeo Drive.
It had the pace of an American thriller, but the tone of something that could only have been made in Scandinavia.
This is the weird, fantastic "thriller" from which sprang the Protocols.
"But a thriller," Ace assured them, as Norris lighted his pipe on the lee of a bowlder.
If she only could write scenarios, what a thriller this would make!
So for a number of years the parachute was little heard of, except as a "thriller" at country fairs.
These books are quite different from the ordinary detective novel and from the more traditional type of thriller.
An exciting movie, play, etc, esp a horror show; chiller (1889+)

Both Coutinho and Daniel Sturridge missed that exit at the hands of Zenit as they were cup-tied but they are available to play at Wigan.
Sturridge will require a late fitness test as he has not yet fully recovered from the thigh injury that was sustained in month's 2-2 draw with Manchester City.
The Reds are likely to be without Raheem Sterling for the trip as the young star is currently being rested after a busy season, although Brendan Rodgers has denied he is suffering from burn-out.
Meanwhile, Rodgers has warned his side it will not be easy against the Latics.
"I watched Wigan last week and it will be a tough game for us," he said. "But after the performance levels against Swansea and Zenit, we just want to keep that going.
"The key for us is to really focus on these next 11 games and make sure we finish what has probably been a mix of a season by showing there have been real benefits from the learning that has taken place and to really kick on and get consistent results.
"Every game for us is a cup final. We need to continue to show that warrior spirit. That is vital for us."

special, in a malaria free environment, for those who yearn to spend some
quality time close to nature.
At this address, CHANDELIER SAFARI LODGE, we saved 2 baby giraffes from a certain death.

Maybe we can re-package Webware sometime after version 0.9. Note that installation is highly conventional in Paste WebKit, and not just WebKit itself but also applications you develop are easy to make into standalone packages (with a PasteWebKit requirement, of course). With the new refactoring of Paste, new application development looks like: paster create --template=webkit MyProject cd MyProject paster serve docs/devel_config.ini --reload Then you have a running web server and distutils/setuptools-enabled project. Later you can package up the application so that it can be installed in a normal Python way (or with easy_install) and runnable with a configuration like: [app:main] use = egg:MyProject database = foo config2 = bar ... And servable with "paster serve config_file --daemon" (with all the options to make an rc script easy to write), accessable with SCGI (or FastCGI or AJP, and other access methods in the future). Most of what I've been doing with Paste for the past couple months has been to straighten out the installation and deployment issues, and I think it's approaching something very usable -- moreso than in any other framework I've seen (Webware certainly isn't the only framework with installation and deployment issues). -- Ian Bicking / ianb@... / http://blog.ianbicking.org

I am a student of the world. Always trying to learn, soaking up my surroundings. I make every day an adventure.
I am active and enjoy fresh air and love camping. People watching is lots of fun. Summer is the best time of year, and I like rain... until it starts flooding my basement.
I'm into :cars, computers, Linux, photography, gadgets, politics and learning new stuff. I also like racing but I'm not into Nascar... I much prefer Le Mans: sports car style endurance racing. Go Audi! :D
I do play video games (what guy doesn't?), but really not often at all/not often enough (depending on who you ask).
I'm looking for someone passionate, with drive and a true love for life. Being a positive person is a must.
I am smart, laid back, and ohh look, a squirrel
Movies: Rushmore (anything by Wes Anderson really), Donnie Darko, Repo Man, Unforgiven, The Big Lebowski, Red Dawn, Shaun of the Dead, Others... Westerns.
Television: British shows (I like British humour): Red Dwarf, Top Gear, Spaced, IT Crowd, Louis Theroux Documentaries; American: Firefly, Futurama, MythBusters (despite their sometime shoddy science method), and I love watching HGTV; Japanese: a few different Anime series: Hikaru No Go and Cowboy Bebop would probably be my favorite.
Music: I like all types of music (yes, seriously... Even Polka.) So I'll list my favorite genres: Lounge, Classic Rock, Downtempo, House, Dubstep, Trance, Classical, Psychedelic Rock, Fresh Hip-hop, Dub, Jazz, [Insert every other Genre here]. Some mainstream artists I like are: Tame Impala, The Kinks, The Knocks, The Quo, Some non-mainstream artists I like are: Röyksopp, International Pony, School of Seven Bells, Bonobo, Morcheeba, Flight Facilities. I'm only sort of a music hipster.

Zuiderdam Alaska bring your own entertainment: Zuiderdam Cruise Review by Alaska_addict
Overall Member Rating
Zuiderdam Alaska bring your own entertainment
Destination: Alaska
Embarkation: Vancouver
Can I start with the good points before hitting the bad points.
The ship was built in 2002 and is not one of the new super liners and that's exactly what I was looking for, it was an elegant well maintained ship with excellent decks for viewing the fantastic scenery and inside was very luxurious with fine art where ever you looked.
Cabin was nice size with lots of wardrobes and draws , mini bar, hair dryer, TV, DVD (large library of old DVDs available to watch on board), nice bathroom (very small bath) and ample size balcony especially as I had the cabin to myself.
Food on board was of the highest standard and very plentiful although the lido deck self service was very crowded due to the limited opening hours. You need to be in a group of 2 people or more, one to hold a table while the others get the food, being on my own by the time I found a seat the food was often More cold. don't expect to get much as you are only given 1 plate each and the only trays I saw were being used by the cleaners to clear tables.
The crew in the restaurants, bars and cabin were of the highest standard with nothing being of too much trouble.
Found the Vista dinning room no good for me as most of the dishes were fish and as I am allergic to fish/ seafood it only left 1 item most nights on the menu for me.
The brochures keep on about the flowers on board, there are a few orchids on board but most of the plants and flowers are PLASTIC!
The ship has a maximum capacity according to HAL of 1916 guest but we had 2040 on board meaning there were not enough seats in the theater and often saw people in there 80's sitting in the aisle on the hard steps or like me stood at the back all through a show. The ship is sold as being 5 star with lots of space but was overcrowded in most of the public areas and I am not sure were some of the people slept as a few people like me had a room to them selves and my room could take up to 3 people so were did the over capacity people sleep????
I took 3 shore excursions booked with the ship and thought they were good and not too badly priced, I would certainly recommend the three I took, whale watching in Juneau, misty Fjords catamaran trip in Ketchican and the White pass Railway in Skagway.
Would very highly recommend the Allen marine trips even the coach driver was funny and informative.
So far so good you may be thinking but now we get to the entertainment! Or lack of it!
Again let me start with the good.
The shows with the singers and dancers in the theater on 3 nights are a must see as is the Adagio piano and Violin of Christina and Simona in the explorers lounge from 6 till 10 is magnificent however the rest of the entertainment was of a poor standard or none existent.
On board are 2 house bands they call the Hal cats they should play for a couple of hours at night mainly during the time your at the show!, or that's the theory, in practice they sit around messing about chatting and fooling around like some tipsy teenagers, when they do play (mainly after I complained about them) they play about 4 song per hour as they seem to have to re tune everything after each song and then have a long chat about it before playing the next, I have been to rehearsals that were far better than there so called performance, the piano bar I visited many times and never found anyone playing the piano. The bars and restaurants have mangers checking them all the time but no one seemed to be in charge of the entertainment as it didn't seem to matter if they played or even turned up.
Two nights we had an American comedian who the Americans found funny but for the other two thirds of the International passengers found boring I walked out after 10 mins, we had a magician one night doing tricks that we saw Paul Daniels do in the 80s and the one show he did was just a sales pitch to show you his magic kit he sells on board.
As for the daytime I would say no entertainment, Ross our cruise director would come on the p.a. every morning like Gladys Pugh from Hedi Hi and tell you the exciting program for the day is something like the following, 9 till 10 come to the shop and buy a watch, 10 till 11 buy a shore excursion, 11 till 12 buy some earrings, 12 till 1 buy a spa treatment, 1 till 2 come to the show lounge and we will tell you were to shop when you get off so as we can get our commission, 2 till 3 buy 5 beers get one free, 3 till 4 book your next cruise, 4 till 5 buy some photos, 5 till 6 buy a ring, it was like being stuck in the shopping channel, I went to be entertained not to shop all day. Luckily the scenery is superb but on the day we had fog and couldn't even see the water you would find people asleep around the ship as they were so bored. I heard that the drinks takings were way down and they couldn't work out why? Its probably because people were in there cabin watching a DVD as there was no entertainment in the bars????
The Zuiderdam ship was a brilliant ship let down by the people in charge of entertainment, you could turn up to a scheduled thing only to find no entertainment and no manager there to check this and no one who seemed to care. The best entertainment would be to put a short plank over the side and whoever was manager or organizer to walk it as all the hard work done by 90% off the crew was ruined by the 10%.
I wasn't looking for a party ship, but a crew member doing an ice sculptor on deck (come to think of it I don't remember seeing a ice sculptor anywhere on board) a bit of music, just simple things would have been nice.
So if you going on the Zuiderdam take board games, books, mp 3 players, your laptop and what ever else you can fit in your luggage( watched them throwing the luggage literally onto the Zandam so no breakables(probably how my binoculars got broke)) as you will need them if the weather isn't good enough to see the scenery.
Treated myself to this cruise for getting over a brush with Cancer for the second time so thought I would book a five star cruise line but this experience was far from a five star experience. the cruise with no flights etc. cost $3000
I have emailed Holland America 3 times once in the U.K. and twice to head office however all I have had back is an automated Email saying it will take a few weeks to get back to me! wonder why perhaps there busy with similar Emails???????
This may have been my first cruise but my family cruise up to 3 times a year and I do all the research and all the booking for them and they have been on Princess, Royal Caribbean, NCL, Thomson, Airtours, Cruise and Maritime and more, all of which had better entertainment.
I will return to Alaska as the scenery is fantastic and seeing whales is the most wonderful thing however it will not be with Holland America. Less

3 Pea Dips for Summer Partiesby Amy Chaplin in Healthy Recipes, July 22, 2015

Strasbourg Shows Cannes the Way
Everyone who's anyone in the world of film is about to head to France — the Cannes festival starts on Wednesday, with Woody Allen's "Midnight In Paris" scheduled to open the proceedings.
The pairing of Owen Wilson and France's first lady, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, makes for a heady mix of film and politics. The same combination gets an outing further north, with the distinctly less stardust-sprinkled screening of Honkytonk Films' "Rapporteur de Crise" at the European Parliament in Strasbourg.
An interactive Web documentary, which you can see online at French newspaper Libération, RdC (as it will surely become known when it becomes a cult hit in the subgenre of EP shorts) combines the harshly-lit aesthetics of "Primer" with the political chicanery of a profanity-free "The Thick Of It" to create an interactive Web experience that brings the thrilling intensity of European parliamentary committee meetings to those who aren't lucky enough to witness these gladiatorial combats of rhetoric in person. As Jean-Luc Godard said: "Film is truth 24 times a second, and every cut is a lie."

Tens of thousands of Hindu pilgrims poured into the western Indian holy town of Nasik yesterday, as relatives cremated the victims of a stampede that killed at least 39 devotees.
As smoke from funeral pyres drifted into the sky, Hindus made their way to the banks of the River Godavari as part of the Kumbh Mela, or Grand Pitcher Festival, undeterred by Wednesday's tragedy.
The Mayor of Nasik, Dashrath Patil, said: "The faith of the pilgrims is incredibly strong; that is why they are still coming. It gives them the strength to face any tragedy."
Wailing relatives sat beside bodies covered with saffron sheets before they were cremated. Many other bodies were being taken back to their home villages. Mr Patil said almost 70 of the 150 injured remained in hospital.
The festival is one of Hinduism's holiest, drawing millions of worshippers, and Wednesday was one of the most auspicious days of the celebrations.
Hindus believe a dip in the Godavari, which flows through Nasik and the neighbouring town of Trimbakeshwar, cleanses the sins of this and past lives.
A Hindu ascetic who threw silver coins at crowds of pilgrims may have triggered the stampede. An estimated 300,000 ash-smeared sadhus left their special enclosure in the morning for the Shahi Snan, or royal bath, in the Godavari. Ordinary pilgrims were barred from entering the water until the sadhus had finished.
"For some inexplicable reason, a number of sadhus boycotted the early morning bath, and came out much later," Mr Lahor said. "One of them threw silver coins as prasad [consecrated offering], and some people rushed to pick them up. That started the stampede."
But Chhagan Bhujbal, deputy chief minister of Maharasthra state, said the stampede had occurred in the rush to the river after the sadhus had finished. A large group of devotees broke through a barricade and entered a narrow lane from the wrong side.
The Government quickly announced compensation of 200,000 rupees ($6800) to relatives of every dead pilgrim and 50,000 rupees each to the seriously injured.
Stampedes are a regular occurrence at the festival. About 600 pilgrims died in three stampedes in Hardwar during the 1980s. The worst was in Allahabad in 1954, killing 800.

Are you embracing the camel and leopard trend this winter?
yep, i'm wearing a leopard print blouse right now!ReplyDelete
I love camel. I have been wanting to invest in a good camel colored coat this Winter. I have no leopard print but I've always wanted to try.ReplyDelete
I have to stop buying Camel colored purses but they are so versatile! I love that crossbody TB. I was eyeing the Amanda crossbody in that taupe smoke color and of course the camel as well. I have a leopard dress from Target that has been on repeat for the past few months :)ReplyDelete
I so want to wear that camel sweater with jeans and those adorable flats. What a great selection. Swoon! xoxoReplyDelete
Love that combination! The Tory purse is just beautiful!ReplyDelete
I can't get enough camel–I even have the same camel sweater in two different sizes!ReplyDelete
Camel is so great on pretty much everyone. And yes, leopard is for sure a neutral (and my go-to print)!ReplyDelete
Definitely camel...not so much the leopard. I love pairing this color with ivories and navy blues. Those flats are super cute!
I do love it. One of my go-tos. ;) Like Gray.ReplyDelete
So with you here-- love me some camel and/or leopard! I totally think of it as a neutral :)ReplyDelete
So pretty! And I think camel looks so lovely on brunettes too. This pale blonde can only pull off a very rich shade with a little more brown in it, or else I looked a bit cray cray! :)ReplyDelete
This is such an outfit I'd wear. I wear way too many neutrals. Those ankle strap flats are adorable!ReplyDelete
I love camel! It's one of my favorite fall color trends that changes so easily with the seasons.
Yes, totally love this! I'm so a fan of this color and love to pair it with brights or prints so it doesn't wash me out. Your choices are perfect!ReplyDelete
love this palette of camel shades...right up my alley! :)ReplyDelete
I'm dying for a pair of ankle strap flats... so badly!!ReplyDelete
I love camel. Dave gave me a camel cashmere sweater for Christmas and I've been wearing it nonstop.ReplyDelete

Mother Bickerdyke
During the Civil War, Illinois provided one of the most capable and devoted members of the Corps of Union Nurses. Her name was Mary Ann Bickerdyke.
On July 19, 1817, Mary Ann Bickerdyke was born in Knox County, Ohio. Bickerdyke prepared for nursing while attending Oberlin College in Cincinnati. In 1856, she, her husband, Robert, and their two sons moved to Galesburg, Illinois. Her husband died two years later. In the summer of 1861, in Knox County, Illinois, she started her career in the army.
Around that time a powerful Union army was gathering at Cairo and preparing to invade the South. These men, many from Galesburg, were poorly housed, ill-fed, and barely equipped. Sanitary and medical conditions were crude. Typhoid, dysentery, pneumonia, measles, and malaria were abundant. Hundreds of men were dying without ever having fought in any battles.
During the four years of the war, Bickerdyke was present at nineteen battles, tending the wounded on the field or in hospitals, directing diet kitchens, managing army laundries (which she introduced), and, in general, displaying extraordinary administrative ability and stamina. Zealous in fighting for the enlisted man, she was the curse of incompetent officers, but generals Ulysses S. Grant and William T. Sherman held her in the highest esteem. She came to be affectionately known as "Mother Bickerdyke."
In November 1901 she suffered a stroke. Several days later she passed peacefully away at the age of eighty-four.
Mother Bickerdyke was honored and beloved by the entire nation, both North and South. In 1903 the state of Illinois raised a monument in Galesburg to the memory of this remarkable woman. The monument shows a compassionate Mother Bickerdyke kneeling beside a wounded soldier and holding a cup to his lips.—[From Arthur Charles Cole, The Era of the Civil War, 1848-1870; Victor Hicken, Illinois in the Civil War; Robert P. Howard, Illinois: A History of the Prairie State.]
