My name is Tara Merlo, and I am helping my mother, Peggy Kleinert with renting out her house now, so she can travel more! My mother has been renting this house out for a few years now, but before that, this was her home, and the details show the care she has put in it over the years. The picture is of me and my family (all my pictures now are of my young daughter!)
Peggy Kleinert purchased this house in 2003
Beautiful and on the beach!!
We loved the house and the location! The upstairs loft is great of kids, leaving adults plenty of space! Yes, the carpet was a little stained but only in select spaces and one tub drained slow but other than that, perfect. It was a perfect layout and lots of windows that DID open so cool at night. Movies at the beach on Saturday, safe for kids to run around, restaurant close with outside bands and good food. Would definitely go again!
The location of the property was excellent - right across the street from a clean beach and short walking distance to two decent restaurants (both with water views). The house has SUCH potential with a great layout and plenty of space for guests, but it hasn't been maintained, and we noticed. The house needs a major deep clean - some examples: carpets in the bedroom have stains, one of the mattresses has blood stains on the top, and the main floor bathroom shower was completely clogged (we purchased Draino and had to do three rounds before it was draining properly...makes me wonder how the cleaning staff actually cleaned the shower??). The oven didn't work properly, which the owners left directions of how to get it to the correct temperature, however, we still had difficulty with the oven getting too hot. Some of the windows wouldn't open, so we had to take the screens out and force them open; they need to be greased. I'm big on cleanliness and proper maintenance in a home, so the average guest may not notice or care about these types of issues! Just be aware that you are paying for more of the views you get with this house.
This was our first time to Muskegon. There are a lot of activities in the area, and a lot of shops and breweries nearby and in surrounding towns. We spent an afternoon in Grand Haven (about a 20-30 minute drive) which also has a lot to offer for all age ranges.
This was our second time staying at the spinnaker house. Could not be more happy with our stay!
We had a very nice weekend. The view and location on the lake is amazing. The house was well stocked with kitchen stuff and linens. The only complaint would be the ladders getting up into the top bunk was a killer for adults. I am sure for kids it would be fine. Also, the 15 steps to the entrance was a bit of a surprise since we had our 90 year old Mother with us. Thankfully she is in pretty darn good shape, and could manage.
We debated staying in Grand Haven or Muskegon for a vacation with family before everyone left Michigan for the summer. At first, driving into Muskegon gave the impression of decay. But after 4 days we were very impressed. The beaches, bike trails, friendliness was 5 stars. Lots to do. The house was big, comfortable, and relaxing. Peggy visited and was nice. The fire pit is nice, and having the laundry right there was nice. We also used the gas grill on the deck twice which was very nice. I wished we had a couple more days to stay. Bring fire wood, or buy at local gas stations. The bottom room was a little musty, but we didn't use it much. The stove was not working quite right, but the repairman was there when we left.
This place was amazing!! The view was incredible and we were very close to family in the area. There was more than enough room for everyone and we loved it! The HUGE sliding glass doors in the front, we left open every night allowing us to stay cool and wake up to the sounds of waves and intensely fresh air!!! The owner checked on us a few times through the week, NEVER a bother, and was so friendly she made us feel like family! The living room was so spacious and all open allowing us to sit and talk comfortably. The fire pit was a favorite of ours and we sat out after sunset and roasted marshmallow and talked with our family (who visited us at the beach house every night). The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and there were so many towels we couldn't believe it! Everything was in great shape, but NOT so new that we were afraid to use anything or relax and enjoy ourselves! We had all ages from 1year, 8, 18, 23, 30, 45 ALL enjoyed this place!!!!
A+++ Love it and see ya next year!!!
Property is located on the Lake Michigan shoreline with easy access to Muskegon Lake for your boating, fishing, or other water sports. Plan a day at nearby Michigan Adventure or Double J Ranch. Easy driving via I-96 or US-31 or fly in to Grand Rapids. Come for Summer Celebration or Shoreline Spectacular or just relaxation on the 5 mile sugar sand beach.

Dimensions of interprofessional practice
As well known, the role of the medical officer is to monitor, inform, mobilize, link, investigate among other responsibilities ( Freeth & Copperman 2009). Description The event involves the treatment of Mrs. Weber who is a 70 year old patient with multiple health disorders. She was admitted into the hospital due to her shin injury after a fall and it required immediate treatment. According to her medical history, she suffered from osteoarthritis and hypotension that became a fundamental cause of her repetitive falls resulting in shin injury and development of fear for mobilization. I called the social worker handling Mrs. Weber's case and two specialists from the fall clinic, to help in her treatment since they were more conversant with her case in addition to her health care service provider. Feelings The adaptation of new rules governing patients-health officer relationship is a first step to interprofessional collaboration in the healthcare sector (Miers Barrett & Clarke 2005). As would be expected of health care providers, the staff accorded the patient the best treatment and basic rules were observed. ...

Interprofessional team working in healthcare delivery
For this research, the case that will be analysed is the Case of Tom. This case has been chosen because of the following reasons. First, it puts into question the concept of patient–centeredness. In concrete experiences of patients, what does patient-centeredness means? Is it simply a mantra that we continuously repeat, but do not act upon or is it a reality for some patients and not for all? Second, because of the vagueness of the idea of patient-centeredness, the case highlights the wide divide between health policy and health care plan and that no matter hard policy makers think of coming...

Contrast the headline above with the headline at idahostatesman.com: Two injured at Expo Idaho gun show after rifle discharges. Now consider the "bullet points" underneath the title: "A vendor was trying to secure the firearm when it went off; Bullet struck the victims in the legs; injuries not life-threatening." See the problem? "A 74-year-old gun vendor from Washington told investigators he was securing a Savage Arms B Mag .17-caliber bolt-action rifle with a plastic zip tie when the weapon discharged." Once again, a journalist crafts a story about a negligent discharge that . . .
removes responsibility for the ND from the person who pulled the trigger, and makes it seem as if guns are inherently dangerous. OK, they are. But they don't just "go off." Bad things happen with firearms when humans (and the occasional canine) do bad things with them. Like pull/step on the trigger when they shouldn't.
There was a shell in the rifle, and he mistakenly fired it, according to Sheriff's Office spokesman Patrick Orr. The bullet went through a cardboard box, two table covers and a metal cane, then struck the leg of the 51-year-old holding the cane and the leg of a 64-year-old man standing nearby.
The victims were taken to Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center for treatment. The injuries were not believed to be life-threatening.
The gun show opened at 9 a.m. Saturday and went on as planned, [Expo Idaho Director Bob] Batista said.
Orr said the vendor who accidentally discharged the gun fully cooperated with the investigation. The investigation is ongoing, and the vendor hasn't been cited.
Huh. I reckon the unnamed vendor (nice sleuthing Statesman) at the Lewis Clark Trader gun show is likely to be named in a civil suit shortly. Regardless of the outcome, the article rightly points out that the cost of his indemnity insurance will soon be prohibitive. After a previous ND, Expo Idaho raised their insurance requirements to $5m, forcing out some smaller dealers. Fair enough?
54 Responses to Gun Dealer Shoots Two at Expo Idaho Gun Show
OK, but does the 51yr old now have TWO jimpy legs? Or a double bad on one side. And a deadlined cane. Details man.
I can't understand why it is so hard to check every gun you pick up to see if its loaded….
I don't understand how people can't keep their gun always pointed in a safe direction.
Or keep their finger off the trigger until ready to fire
What do we have in this nation, roughly 350,000,000 guns? Not everyone handles every one with Col. Cooper's 4 rules 100% of the time. Even 99.99% compliance – in the literal and statistical sense – means mistakes due to negligence. That means the drive to the gun show is more dangerous than the exhibits.
And therein lies the real truth – that statistically, the stress of everyday life invokes more deaths from heart attacks than deaths from "gun violence" ever will – the CDC says, and I quote, "About 610,000 people die of heart disease in the United States every year–that's 1 in every 4 deaths." But the media likes to showcase these .0001% events at gun shows as if they are the norm. My liberal Mother-in-law always cracks me up when I take my boys to a gun show by telling me to "Be careful!" Being around all those guns, just poised to "go off" at any minute is terrifying to her. What she and the rest will never understand is that gun shows are probably some of the safest places on earth. She's in much greater danger with just the stress of waking up every morning or driving to the Starbucks for her double caf, soy milk latte with 2 splendas. I actually relax a little when I am at a gun show. It's one of the few places in public you can let your SA slide.
30,000 people a year in this country die from falling down.
It's more dangerous to own legs than it is to own a gun.
"The difference is: negligent discharges are 100% preventable, because they are 100% within the control of the person handling a given firearm."
So are pretty much every car related fatality. If noone ever drove in any manner that was could conceivably be "unsafe", there would be no accidents. Yet, there are still accidents. Just as with firearms.
Run a sufficient number of trials of any experiment, and you'll get at least one of any theoretically possible outcome. Which is really all this "safety" hysteria is all about: Sensationalist "journalists" and their statistically illiterate groupies having access to national/international level numbers of trials.
Doesn't mean there aren't more right and less right ways of handling firearms (or cars.) But it does mean that the proper way for "society" (code word for a bunch of politicians and apparatchiks in our age and system) to handle them, is via criminal channels. If the behavior of the discharger is not sufficiently negligent for a jury of peers to find him guilty, it's not negligent to get the state involved at all. Just file under shit happens and people die sometimes.
The whole nonsense about dragging civil courts (and insurance "requirements" to make sure the ambulance chasers' honey pots are rich and sweet) into areas away from interpretation of voluntarily entered into contracts, is solely there to enrich and empower lawyers; and to give those incapable of staying out of the lives of others, yet another avenue they can abuse.
I worry more about a vehicle crashing through the walls of the exhibition center than being shot while at a gun show. It's the far more likely event.
Holly cr_p dudes, that weapon was likely checked entering the building, or at least before it was put on display. It's just as, if mot more, likely that someone layer chambered a round.
So make it a habit: if you pick up a weapon, confirm that it is unloaded/loaded to your expectations. Even when I'm at the gun shop at the guy hands me a gun that's locked back with no magazine, I look down the mag well, check the chamber, and check the breech face. It's obvious no round is going to be in that gun in that situation, but I do it to not get casual, so if there is ever a time like this, the same procedure would allow me to avoid a problem.
I hate it when my guns magically load themselves between the tim when I triple-checked that it's unloaded and when I pull the trigger to ziptie it.
When I bought my first gun, the salesman told me to check 5o see if it has a round in th chamber every time I pick it up because, "Sometimes the dog loads it while you're not looking."
I've taught my daughter to always check the load state of firearm, even if she just saw someone else check it- and that if anyone objects to this, they are wrong.
new here….isn't a .17 a BB?
Nope. It's a very flat shooting magnum cartridge.
A high velocity, high powered rifle armor piercing cop killer heat seeking ballistic menace. How else would it go through "a cardboard box, two table covers and a metal cane" and two people's legs!?!??
It's a testament to .17HMR though.
Wow ! Sounds like a bullet designed solely to penetrate body armor and kill cops and all that bad stuff. How can such be sold to the public? Why does the BATFE (IEIO) not summarily ban such terrible ammunition?
Rifle was a Savage B-Mag, so it is .17 WSM not .17 HMR. .17 WSM sends a 20 gr bullet out at 3,000 ft/s.
nice to learn something new here. thanks
It most probably was a .17 HMR
This was a .17 Winchester Super Magnum. 3000 fps 20 gr bullet.
thanks !
Even though it was 100% the vendors fault for having a loaded firearm at his booth in the first place, if the safety recall hadn't been done, the door is open even wider for civil damages. Because there is an open safety recall on Savage B. Mag bolt 17 caliber rifles.
Came here to say this, but even if the bolt, flipped the safe off. It is still required to pull the trigger, it is not a R700. Plus the whole muzzle in a safe direction part…
When gun owners own up to their mistakes in public instead of telling a reporter their "gun just went off" the anti gunners will take the ammunition we give them to use against us.
And>>>>they're both wrong. The writer and especially the idiot dealer. I'd sue the shite outa' him. He should be barred from the show…duh.
Is it possible that the mainstream media is avoiding libel lawsuits by using "gun went off" etc vs "owner had/caused an ND"? As opposed to having a deliberate, inherent antigun bias/all guns are evil mindset?
Similar to how TV news reports on "alleged" rape/murder/robbery.
Just a thought.
I did a couple years of radio news. Once when a grass fire got out of control on a hot dry windy day, I capped the story off with something like "it's really a bad idea to be burning today." The station manager was on me within seconds of the end of the newscast, and he was furious that I was "editorializing." Same thing with traffic accidents. That's why you read that a motorcyclist struck the side of a car instead of some idiot pulled right out in front of a motorcycle. You can only report the facts.
We know the gun went off. We're pretty sure somebody pulled the trigger. But we can't prove it so we can't print it. It's more a lawsuit thing than a gun bias.
"You can only report the facts."
Thanks for the laugh.
MSM editorializes all the time, but in subtle ways. Guns don't "go off;" it is mechanically impossible absent a true mechanical failure (which is so rare as to be vanishingly small). Yet, they report it that way continually. That's not a fact at all by any stretch of the imagination.
There are so many examples of this. To assert that the modern media only reports facts is one pretty big joke.
Gun dealer: rifle discharged itself. Don't know how it hurt those stupid people.
JESUS, these are the greatest spokesmen for our "sort". I'm going to bed, "dealers" like this give me nightmares.
The only thing worse than a dealer muzzling you is a dealer muzzling you while he pulls the trigger back to zip tie it.
In my experience, BB's and pellets come in .17 and .22. Probably more than that, but I never saw it. This, however, was not a BB. If it went through a metal cane and two legs, it was a .17HMR. Tiny bullet, oversized case.
That moves really fast Toby. And can kill people…
No, .17 Winchester Super Mag… EVEN BIGGER CASE, WITH A LITTLE TINY BULLET…
The only thing worse than a dealer muzzling you is a dealer muzzling you while he pulls the trigger back to zip tie it.
FYI…. It's a .17 WSM which has a 20 gr bullet moving at 3000 fps. I imagine it was pretty loud and un- nerving for everyone in the building. The bullet probably blew up on the concrete floor or it might have travelled further and done more harm….
come on some weido lib went into the gunshow and deliberately loaded that gun.
Conspiracy theories aside – the dumbsh!t dealer had to pull the trigger on a rifle with a closed bolt that he had not confirmed was unloaded. I believe he qualifies for the Irresponsible Gun Owner of the Day award, among other less pleasant responses.
And besides, what wierdo lib would have any idea about loading a .17 WSM? Half the people commenting on this site did not know what that round was, including me.
Probably not, although we did have a guy running around a gun show in Virginia doing just that with .22 rifles about 5-6 years ago. Fortunately a -careful- gun dealer checked his guns and discovered the rounds and they quickly tracked down and arrested the culprit.
Sometimes my gun just goes off, but there's manipulation involved
The greatest danger at gun shows isn't from the patrons…it's from the vendors.
My friendly local gun store (FLGS) owner was set up two tables away from this guy, and was there when the gun "went off". The ND took place about 20 minutes before the show opened to the public. The gun was a Savage .17 bolt action, and the dealer had the bolt closed when he put the zip tie on and tightened it – thus pulling the trigger. The bullet hit another dealer's metal cane, which was a good thing because it separated the core and the jacket. Pieces of the jacket went into the leg of the guy with the cane, and the bullet core went on to hit the second guy in a leg. The cane strike was fortunate, because it slowed the pieces down a fair amount. The guy with the cane was back in the show later that day – my FLGS dealer didn't hear about the second guy.
The part that really annoyed people was that the man responsible for the ND claimed that the rifle must have been shipped by Savage with a round in the chamber. My FLGS dealer said that is total BS – he has received and sold that model of Savage .17 in his store, and they always arrive with the bolt completely removed from the action. This appears to be a completely idiotic action by the gun seller, and it may result in the Expo Idaho owners deciding to stop gun shows in that venue. They raised the liability insurance requirement from $1 million to $5 million a few years ago, when another idiot did an ND at a different show.
Yet another journalist who seems to believe in polterguns.
And the gun vendor did not even bother to point the unchecked weapon in a safe direction at all times?
Don't blame the vendor. I'm sure that the two guys he shot made a furtive movement.
Was that .17HMR? I've never shot it, but I am quite impressed with it's penetration capabilities!

'Metropolis' Poster Sells for Record Sum
A movie buff has splashed out a record $690,000 on an original poster promoting Fritz Lang's 1927 sci-fi classic Metropolis.
An unnamed American collector bought the poster designed by Heinz Schilz-Neudamm, which is one of only four known copies, from London's Reel Poster Gallery.
Tony Nourmand, co-owner of the Reel Poster Gallery, says, "It's a landmark design. Most of the posters would have been hung on billboards and then thrown away. This one was in absolutely pristine condition and was obviously never used."
The sale represents the highest sum of money paid for a poster of any description—the previous record buy was a poster for Boris Karloff's 1932 movie The Mummy, which fetched $452,000 at an auction.

How to Barbecue, Masterclass, Gourmet BBQ Recipes, Tips, Menu Ideas
It is easy to produce burnt offerings on the backyard barbecue but what are the secrets of a great gourmet barbecue? Its a bit like photography. If you take a wonderful photograph the first thing everyone says is "what camera do you use?"
But its not the equipment that matters but the preparation, menu choices, recipes and respect and understanding of the food and what you are trying to do with it.
This article provides a Barbecue Masterclass that aims to turn those burnt BBQ offerings into gourmet meals that you will be proud of and will impress your friends.
So its time for a re-think and so lets start from scratch and review how to do it properly. There are some great recipes at the end of the article.
For the latest recipes and healthy food news updates see the Latest Aggregated Food Nutrition News and New Recipe Releases
Respect and Understand your Food Ingredients
Why so many people would buy a beautiful prime cut of meat or buy top quality vegetables and mushrooms and then burn them beyond recognition so that they lose their character and quality is a major mystery. People assume that if they have the Rolls Royce BBQ with all the bells and whistles and buy top quality ingredients assumimg their barbecue foods will be magnificent. Nothing is further from the truth. The key is how you treat your ingredients, understand what's required to cook them well. Begin by showing respect for the ingredients.
It is a big mistake to get the steaks from the fridge just before cooking them and put them straight onto the barbecue. The meat needs to be brought to room temperature, seasoned appropriately, and excess marinade removed and lightly coated with olive oil just prior to cooking.
Make sure you thoroughly clean the cooking surface of the BBQ every time. Nothing ruins a lovely piece if meat quicker than cooking it on a dirty hotplate or grill. The worst offender is the marinade. Always remember to shake off any excess marinade so that it doesn't create flames and burn the outside of the steak. Consider rinsing the marinade off before cooking. You can add marinade to the food once it is cooked, but NEVER reuse liquid used to marinade the meat as it may be contaminated with bacteria. Set aside a small quantity of fresh marinade for this purpose.
Flames look Good but are a Bad Idea
Cooking with flames may looks fancy and professional as is done by the professional Celebrity chefs on TV to add flavor. Doing it at home on the BBQ is too hard to control and will generally burn the meat. Cooking on hot coals, not flames, create the magical taste for meat cooked over a wood or charcoal fire. Timing when the flames have just died down on a wood fire is critical to stop the fire flaring up when you add the meat and the fat drips down to fire up the flame
Using flames from a gas-fired barbecue to produce flames is simply going to engulf and ruin your food. Flames will blacken the steak and will often overcook the meat. Only add small amounts of cooking oil to a hot plate as the oil may catch fire whacking it on the grill. Steaks only need a small splash of olive oil and a little salt before being barbecued
Get to Know your BBQ
As with preparing any meal, you need to get organised well before you start barbecuing. Make sure you have everything ready near the BBQ as walking away to get things after you have started can be disastrous.
Critical to any successful BBQ is knowing the right temperatures needed for the dishes you are cooking and how to control those temperatures. It gets complicated when you are cooking different types of meat and vegetables on the same BBQ surface. Timing is also critical, both in terms of the amount of time required for each type of food and having everything cooked to perfection at the end of the BBQ session. If you just throw everything on together and hope for the best it generally be a disaster - some items will be over cooked, some will be undercooked and all the unique individual flavors will be lost.
It is a matter of knowing where the hot spots are on you BBQ, using the hot plate and grill for different purposes and cooking each of the items individually even if on the same surface. Some items may need to be cooked on high heat for a short period of time and then moved to a cooler areas when just about cooked. This is where the art of a good BBQ cook comes to the fore - knowing when to add each item, moving them around on the cooking surface to control temperatures and having everything cooked to perfection at the same time at the end of the cooking period.
Making Sure the Temperature is Correct
Prepare the wood or charcoal fire about 30 minutes or more before grilling. For wood make sure the flames have died down and cook over the hot coals. Wait until the temperature is correct. Generally the bbq heat source should be medium-hot with a layer of coals and no flames. To test the temperature hold your hand over the fire at cooking height, palm side down:
- HOT - your hand can remain for only 1 - 2 seconds.
- MEDIUM-HOT - your hand can remain for 3 - 4 seconds.
- MEDIUM - your hand can remain for 4 - 5 seconds.
Be patient and wait until the temperature is right. Toss in a few aromatic wood chips for a 'smoked flavor' using mesquite, alder, hickory or fruitwood chips.
To increase the heat - push the coals together, lower the grilling surface, or fan the fire. Leave an area with few coals to which you can move the items if the flames flare up. If the fire flare-ups, remove the food briefly and spray water lightly over the flames. Keep a squirt bottle of water handy for flare-ups, or keep a hose nearby for larger BBQs.
Creating a Beautiful BBQ Meal
Remember that most of the flavor in a BBQ dish comes from the raw ingredients enhanced with spices, the marinade and the sauce added after the food is cooked. Juts about anything
can be done on a barbecue, especially one that has a wok and roasting hood. Below are several tips and hints.
- Add salt and spies towards the end of the cooking. Many spices will burn if added too early. Adding salt or soy sauce to items on the BBQ before they are removed appears to enhance the flavor. There are many spices that enhance the flavor of meat and vegetable on a BBQ.
- Fresh seafood is also a delight when cooked on a BBQ. Start with a clean slate and choose thick cutlets from species such as tuna, swordfish or salmon that remain firm when cooked. Large prawns can be cooked directly on the plate or grill. You can wrap mussels, clams, pippies and small prawns in small foil packages to cook on the BBQ. Soft fish or whole fish can be barbecued in a foil packet.
- Ratatouille is a fabulous barbecue dish for summer, but the trick is not to overcook the vegetables.
- Grilled vegetables - The high heat will cook them quickly with delightful taste. Asparagus can be easily cooked by drizzling with olive oil, seasoning and grilling until tender. Vegetable shish kebabs can also be tasty. Corn cobs are beautiful on a BBQ. They can be husked and placed directly on the grill or wrapped in foil. Some people like corn cobs cooked in their husks directly on the BBQ. Dunk in water to stop the husks burning.
- Make sure that you wash everything after handling the raw meat. Don't put the cooked meat back onto the same plate you used for the uncooked meat.
- Coat the grate or grill with a fine layer of vegetable cooking spray, or brush the food with cooking oil to prevent it from sticking.

The Neoaster
2048 AD to 2061 AD
2050 AD: The Resource Wars on Earth. While not a sharply defined period, nor one defined by easy to divide conflicts, the Wars are largely considered to have begun in this year with the invasion of the Middle East by the Soviet Union. Made desperate due to the nearly ceased flow of resources from offworld, the Soviets plan a move back to self reliance via fossil fuels, with the first step being to secure the vast oil fields of this region. However, the Saudis prove to be far more adept at war than what the Soviets had expected, and after decades of keeping peace in the region they are not willing to easily allow foreign invaders to destroy the region. Indeed, the Soviets will become second rate players in this regional conflict as the Sino-Russian War drags on, and as other foreign powers begin to make their own bids for control of the region.
2052 AD: AmTech establishes a permanent outpost of Ceres. From here a center for materials export will grow and over the next few years the outpost will burgeon into a major colonial center. It will eventually become the center of AmTech operations in the Belt and serve as a way station for manned movement into the outer System.
|2053 AD: The Sino-Russian War reaches its apex when the Soviets, desperate to end a conflict with no appreciable gains, bombards most population centers from orbit utilizing small asteroids covertly taken from their Earth-crossing orbits. China is brought to its knees, and in the aftermath the Soviets lay claim to much of their former territories. Amidst universal condemnation, a famous and chilling quote is uttered by the then Soviet Premiere Kovalyov Nikodim Danilovich: "We've ended a terrible war by tossing a few rocks. be glad we don't toss a few nukes next." The environmental consequences of these relatively small impacts, taken as a whole, will be felt across the planet.
|2055 AD: Western forces comprised of European and American troops invade and gain major footholds in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia has begun to falter under the constant beating and begins to lose its grip on the region. Eastern Europe has become awash in conflict, while the rest of the world begins to crumble under the weight of a growing chaotic climate, conflict, and various goods shortages. "We are walking a tightrope that is frayed," says the British Prime Minister Alistair Longway. "I feat that it will part from beneath us at any moment."
|2056 AD: The Lunar Colonial Coalition officially unifies under a single government and is known as the Republic of Selene. The Moon Men, able to spread out more freely, begins to spread their genetic makeup among the rest of the population through marriage, liaisons, and further DNA sampling. The IAC itself supports Lunar independence, knowing that this will provide much needed stability in the CisLunar region.
2058 AD: For several years the high altitude dust particles that were the result of the Soviet asteroid drops on China had been bringing cooler temperatures around the world than what had been the recent norm. Now, with the onset of a weak Solar cycle and further particulate contamination coming from the nuclear exchange global temperatures begin to plummet. What is left of agriculture around the world collapses. Reliance on offworld resources becomes all consuming and impossible to keep up with. As winter begins to come to the northern hemisphere, and early at that, people begin to die from starvation and exposure by the tens of thousands.
2061 AD: At Station Caprion, high atop SkyTower, representatives from across the Inner System and from the surviving and intact nations of the Earth come together in a momentous meeting. In an event that will mark the beginning of a new age of recovery, the Inner System Peace Accords are signed and the Congress of Nations is formed. With this treaty comes a promise of peace, trust, and inter-reliance. The Inner System Commonwealth is established. Stations, habitats, and colonial settlements are now sovereign nations. The Planetary Protection Force is disbanded, and its resources are divided among the charter members. The old IAC is dissolved, and in its place is the International Terran Authority, a congressional body for the governance of the remaining nations of the Earth. However, the Earth is broken and failing, a world of rampant disease and ongoing death. The ITT asks for aid, and the Congress of Nations promises that the Commonwealth will validate its core beliefs by rendering aid to the world that saw the birth of Humankind.
