In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett will share a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, and then see how things actually turned out.
Blasted Off the Bluff
It was one of those weird non-gobbling mornings. You know the type: clear, crisp and calm, yet no turkeys sounding off anywhere.
It was so quiet, in fact, that I questioned whether any turkeys inhabited the beautiful southern Minnesota bluff. That is, of course, until I heard my friend shoot. Turns out at least 20 turkeys lived on the farm, and most of them had visited my buddy that morning. He'd shot the lead strutter and scattered the remaining turkeys to the four winds.
"One longbeard flew toward the farmhouse," he said. "You might wait a bit, and then slip through the woods and see if he answers."
I did. The bird didn't answer, but I spotted him in a plowed field. He saw me at about the same time and rubber-necked away into a nearby ditch.
Great. Every turkey at the farm had been scared senseless earlier that morning, and now I'd double-boogered the only other likely candidate. Sure, the turkeys would likely calm down and gobble again, but when? Maybe it made more sense to hunt another spot with undisturbed birds.
The season closed at noon, and I had about three hours left to hunt. I was torn between sticking it out in an area rich with turkeys -- albeit spooked turkeys -- or looking elsewhere.
What would you have done? Post your decision below.

Meredith, 57, announced on May 9 that she would be leaving TODAY to spend more time with her husband, Richard, and children, Ben, Gabe and Lily.
Richard and Meredith's dog Jasper both accompanied Meredith on her last day on set Wednesday. At the top of the show, Matt talked about the surprises in store for her big farewell. Meredith said of her decision to leave, "I know it's right, but it's hard."Meredith says last 'good morning' on TODAY
Yesterday, fans on Twitter shared their favorite Meredith moments with the hashtag #meredithmoment, and her fellow TODAY anchors shared their favorite memories on the show.Story: Meredith Vieira to leave TODAY in June; Ann Curry named co-anchor
Natalie jokingly remembered Meredith being labeled "Miss Van-cougar'' at the Vancouver Olympics, Al Roker recalled a fun-filled trip to Dublin, and Ann thought back to Meredith's reporting at the Beijing Olympics and an incident in which the two anchors ended up soaking wet.
"This is when I really realized how out of control you could be,'' Ann joked before turning serious. "That was the beginning of when I really felt like a sister to you.''Video: TODAY's favorite Meredith moments (on this page)
Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford laughed about the time Meredith served as guest producer on the fourth hour of TODAY and fed them grapes on a beach in one segment. Kathie Lee also brought her characteristic humor to the farewell later on Tuesday's show before turning more serious.
"It seems like we've been saying goodbye to Meredith forever,'' Kathie Lee cracked. "When is the woman leaving?!''
"None of us are happy about it,'' she added. "We're broken-hearted.''

"You don't take yourself too seriously, you're willing to laugh with a lot of other people, but also at yourself, and I think that's been a terrific quality to have,'' Matt said.
"This is the best job, it really is, and I'm really going to miss it,'' Meredith tearfully said.
A special sendoff episode is planned for Meredith on Wednesday.
"We've got a great show planned,'' Matt said. "You will not want to miss it.''allDAY: 10 reasons we love Meredith
While Matt hinted at some surprises on Wednesday's show and joked that Meredith might want to wear a rubber suit, Meredith was already flashing her trademark sarcasm two days in advance of her final broadcast when discussing Matt on "Late Show With David Letterman'' on Monday night.
"How long has Matt been there?'' Letterman asked her.
"Too long. Really too long. It's been a … it's bad. Talk about — the deal has dried up,'' she responded to laughter by the audience.allDAY: Meredith teases Matt, talks final show on 'Letterman'

Another great series of historical fiction is done by Brock and Bodie Thoene. They've written a LOT of books, and each leads into the next. Your group could take a year or two to go through the series. You may like their AD Chronicles, which take place in the time of Jesus. Here's a link to their website: Thoene Books FAQ

Jesus for the Nonreligious by John Shelby Spong (of all his I've read, this has the best summary of his theology, etc, and in no way is meant only for the nonreligious.)
The First Christmas: What the Gospels Really Teach about Jesus' Birth and
The Last Week, both books by the team of Marcus J. Borg & John Dominic Crossan.
Religious Literacy by Prothero
And for more recommendations, a man in my church who is a retired physicist/professor and is extremely well-read in the subject of religion has a book review website with scads and scads of books:

[10:38:05] * aaron meditates on the spelling disparity between fcntl() and ioctl().
[10:38:05] * aaron meditates on the spelling disparity between fcntl() and ioctl().
Went to a Windows 2000 Early Adopter seminar yesterday. I'm not likely to ever touch the thing, but the Boss wanted my perspective. I thought "for maximum irony value, I'll take my ancient 486-33/8MB laptop running Debian."
But I was wrong.
Maximum irony value was me winning the business-card drawing for a free 5-day Windows 2000 training and certification course.
Well, whatever. I'll pass it off to the NT admin. In the meantime, I have better things to do. While I was there I started sketching out some design for a pygtk-based DNS file editor. That'll be fun. But before that, we're moving our offices. If you'll excuse me, I have to find a box for my books.
Wait a minute. I used to be an Apprentice... now I'm an Observer, even though my certifications haven't changed. Did I miss something?
Here's a thought -- why do people spend $12 on a new trade-paperback copy of a book, when they could go down to a used bookstore and get a copy for $2?
dammit. The Junkbuster proxy blocks cookies, which breaks Advogato's login tracking. I hate changing my netscape prefs all the time.
Playing with webmail solutions -- I like IMP, but it doesn't seem to particularly like POP3 boxes. the Boss wants address books, though. Too busy doing 'actual work' this week to get any personal coding done so far. blah.
On the upside, though, Virtual Gameboy works great in X, so I can play Pokemon. ;)
crackmonkey wants to reimplement Citadel in Python? I like it. I miss the Good Old Days (tm) of single-line BBSes.
kelly: you're right about the color thing -- perhaps a small [OAJM] marker by the name would be in order?
*yawn* Back at work after a great weekend with friends. Watched a pile of kung-fu DVDs, then saw Romeo Must Die in the theater. Go see it. Yes. Do.
Did a bit of rock-climbing on Saturday. That combined with the six-hour drive home has my legs hating me. Sleeping on the couch wasn't good for my back either.
Anyway. Good stuff -- finally got a copy of New Riders' Python Essential Reference, and the Cure's new album as well. Bad stuff -- while I was gone, and the NT admin and the Boss were in St. Louis for a 3Com thing, our Alteon Layer-4 switch gave out and started dropping HTTP connections randomly. Such a PITA trying to troubleshoot hardware issues over cellphone and pager. But once we fixed it and sent out an explanatory email, we got a flood of replies from users telling us how great our service is and how much they appreciate our honesty and candor when we have a problem. Wonders never cease.
Back to writing billing software <-> server interfaces today. Perhaps I'll upgrade to RedHat 6.2 at some point.
Taking some time out of billing/radius/database projects and
getting back to learning to code useful C.
Played around with libcdaudio. Python doesn't seem to have a useful interface for CD control on non-IRIX systems (outside of doing ioctl calls, at which point you may as well use C), so I may write a libcdaudio module at some point. whee.
Incidentally, if you're working on a scientifically-oriented project and you haven't already talked to peat, do so. He's heading SEUL's Science section and would want to hear from you.
FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE is out!
Wrote a fake POP3 server the other day, as part of a project
here at my ISP. The idea
is that if you haven't paid your
bill, the radius server notices this and gives you a special
IP address. Then our Layer-4 switch routes all your POP
traffic to my fake server, where there is only one message,
saying 'pay your bill!'. Similar with port 80 (http), and
the rest goes nowhere.
It works fine for me through telnet, netscape, fetchmail, etc., but Outlook Express and Outlook both hang after RETR 1. Driving me nuts.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.

Ah, my first diary entry of the new year. I haven't posted much lately, it seemed I never had much to say.
Christmas was pretty average but new years eve was fun - all my old friends got together and we all had a big house party. There must have been 25-30 people there (ok, so not that big).
I've been pretty busy with Wine and autopackage related stuff lately. In particular, I got tired of people asking how to install Internet Explorer on #winehq, so I wrote a script to do it for you. It was posted to Wine Weekly News, frankscorner.org and linux-gamers.net CounterStrike howto, so it's been getting a steady ~250 downloads a day since then. As you can imagine, my inbox has been groaning.
For those who want it btw, you can get it here
One thing that really annoys me is how like half the script is to work around stupid packaging bugs. Some of them are really, really stupid - ie wine won't even start at all on an out-of-the-box install. Have these people done any QA whatsoever? Clearly not.
That's one category of problems (obvious and stupid brokenness). The other category is when packagers try and "improve" upon the install sequence we use in the source tarballs. For instance, they decide that because the wineserver has the word "server" in its name, it'd be a good idea to put it into the init scripts. Unfortunately this stops changes to the config file taking effect, as they are loaded in wineserver startup. Etc. This sort of thing goes on and on.
The problem is clearly that packagers for distros are typically not Wine developers, they are users. Therefore they make mistakes, even though we have a dedicated packaging guide (it seems people don't always read this).
There are two possible solutions.
The first is pretty obvious - winehq should ship one officially blessed package that works anywhere. If people want to use distro-specific packages built by who-knows-whom then great but if it breaks you keep the pieces. Unfortunately, short of rolling something with Loki Setup a la codeweavers, we currently can't do that well. This is exactly the sort of thing autopackage is built for of course, but I might make a Loki Setup installer in the meantime anyway.
The second is that every distro package should be done by a developer. We have this for Red Hat, and it works pretty well. The RH/Fedora packages generally work well. But for most distros, we don't have this. It's clearly not a reliable solution.
So it seems my two entirely separate projects are intertwined in some way ... interesting :)

I'm currently working on an arduino sketch (EEPROM programmer) that receives serial data from a computer, then outputs data\address info through the I/O pins. However, I need one more I/O pin for the address bus... Since I'm only receiving data through the serial port, I was hoping that I could use pin 1 (TX) for digital I/O, but the Arduino wouldn't listen to my digitalWrite commands.Is there any way I can use pin 1 in my project while still receiving serial data?

Friends of Library host talk on early European printing, March 15
Posted March 8, 2001; 09:21 a.m.
Paul Needham and Blaise Ag|era y Arcas will present their recent research on early European printing on Thursday, March 15 at 5 p.m. in McCormick 101.
In their lecture, How Were the Earliest European Printing Types Made? Needham, librarian of the Scheide Library (a private collection housed in Firestone Library) and Ag|era y Arcas, a librarian research associate, will discuss their finding that Johann Gutenberg did not invent moveable type, and will speak about the implications of their work.
Ag|era y Arcas devised a method to analyze printed texts with a computer, which the researchers used to examine several of Gutenberg's documents. Through inconsistencies in the individual letters, the pair concluded that contrary to popular belief, Gutenberg did not use moveable type.
The talk is sponsored by the Friends of the Princeton University Library, and is free and open to the public. A reception in the Main Exhibition Gallery at Firestone Library will follow.
Contact: Marilyn Marks (609) 258-3601


text: I am going to be taking a look at a 4 week old litter of British labs, of which we have pick of the litter of the 3 yellow females this weekend. Do the pups show any personality or character at 4 weeks old yet? I'm not sure if the breeder is going to push for me to pick one out but I would think it would be best to wait. At what age have all of you picked your pup out? I will be bringing it home at 7 weeks. Thanks for any advice or help!

I'm a bad Canadian.
After 20 years of not ice skating I somehow got the idea the other day that what I really wanted to do was go skating. My hockey career was cut short at the tender age of six, when my parents decided to move from Ontario (the province, not the town in California) to Saudi Arabia. I haven't laced up the skates since; that is, until this past weekend. Amazingly enough, I wasn't all that bad at it (that's not to say I was good, but at least I didn't bail). They have these crummy little plastic skates which you could rent, which seemed to do the trick, but it was a little intimidating when people would jet by you at Mach 10 wearing a $350 pair of ice skates and you're moving a slightly faster than walking speed with a piece of plastic digging into your foot.
Actually, what was more scary than that was the onslaught of 6 year old skaters tripping and falling in front of you every couple of minutes which you repeatedly have to dodge. I guess it makes you a better skater in the long run though.
More on XML:
So what exactly is all this key->key->value stuff that I've been talking about anyway? The best way of describing it would be a means of traversing a tree. The XML document itself is really just a big tree of nodes which holds data about particular things.
<foo> <key>value</key> <foo2> <key>value</key> </foo2> </foo>Could be represented logically as:
foo / \ key foo2 / \ value key \ valueWe can build something like this somewhat easily using the XML::Parser module and using Style => 'Tree' for the output. Here's a snippet of the code using Data::Dumper to print out the resulting data structure:
use XML::Parser; use Data::Dumper;Which should spit out something with lots of references roughly in the shape of the tree that we're trying to build. The problem with this is that it's still a bit of a ways off, and you'll need to still heavily parse this to get in into any kind of reasonable shape. A module like XML::Simple will do this for you (I believe someone mentioned it on here), although I have to admit, I'm not crazy about the syntax.
my $xml = <<END; <foo> <key>value</key> <foo2> <key>value</key> </foo2> </foo> END
$x = new XML::Parser( Style => 'Tree' ); $y = $x->parse( $xml );
print Dumper( $y );
When I initially attacked the problem, I didn't bother to use the 'Tree' style output with XML::Parser and was instead just setting up the different Start, End and Char handlers and then using a couple of stacks to build the tree. I've been struggling with this over the last few days and when I think I've just about got everything working, it seems like my logic is a bit off and the resulting data structure doesn't quite work. Oh well, c'est la vie. The struggles of a computer programmer.

Through both words and deeds, #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber inspires women from all walks of life to realize their dreams.
Debbie Macomber overcame the obstacles in her own life to become one of the worlds most popular writers. She encourages women to achieve the goals that burn in their hearts as fiercely as the desire to become a bestselling novelist did in her own 15 years ago.
When Debbie first decided to write a novel, people called her a hopeless dreamer. She had only a high school degree and was dyslexic. She was also the very young mother of four active children. No one believed she had what it took to write a bookexcept Debbie. She eventually saved enough money to rent an old typewriter, and every night when the children were asleep, she would sit down to write.
She wrotefor years. But each time she completed a story and mailed it off to a publisher, the manuscript was returned, stamped "rejected." As tough as it was to keep her spirits alive, Debbie never gave up. Five long years and thousands of pages later, she received a letter in the afternoon mail. The letter was from Silhouette Booksand they wanted to buy her story. Her first novel, Heartsong, was published as a Silhouette Inspiration in 1984, and it became the first romance novel ever to be reviewed in Publishers Weekly.
Today, Debbie is the internationally acclaimed author of more than 100 novels. Popular around the globe, she receives approximately three thousand letters from readers every month. And she responds personally to each one.
In lectures around the country, Debbie encourages women to "exercise the success muscle." She also offers advice on how to achieve success in seeking or changing a career, building family relationships, forming healthy relationships and more.
Is it any wonder that Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America appointed Debbie an ambassador for the national office in 1997? In support of the organizations outreach to young people, Debbie traveled throughout the U.S. to inspire and encourage them to pursueand realizetheir own dreams.
Like her heartwarming novels, Debbies inspirational speeches are always filled with laughter and love. She cares deeply about the women she touches with her writing, and she continues to mentor people around the country. She also volunteers her considerable talents to help raise much-needed funds for battered-womens shelters, literacy and medical research. Several of Debbies novels have achieved the number-one spot on Waldenbooks bestseller lists and earned prestigious berths on the USA Today bestseller list. A three-time winner of the impressive B. Dalton Award, she is also the recipient of Romantic Times Magazines distinguished Lifetime Achievement Award. And, most recently, she made the New York Times bestseller list with her novel, Promise, Texastruly an accomplishment!
She lives with her husband in Port Orchard, Washington. Their children are grown and she is now a proud grandmother.

Category: Seastars and relatives view all from this category
Description The Bat star (Asterina miniata), also known as Sea bat, Webbed star and Broad-disk star, is an echinoderm of class Asteroidea (commonly known as sea stars). It typically has five arms or starms, with the center disk of the animal being much wider than the stubby arms are in length. Although the bat star usually has five arms, it sometimes has as many as nine. Bat stars occur in many of colors, including green, purple, red, orange, yellow and brown, either mottled or solid. The bat star gets its name from the webbing between its arms, which is said to resemble a bat's wings.
The bat star is usually found in the intertidal zone at an average depth of 79 metres (259 ft). Its range extends from Sitka, Alaska to Baja California in the Pacific Ocean. It is most abundant along the coast of Central California and the Monterey Bay.
The bat star breathes through gill-like structures on its back that perform as respirators. It lacks the pincers or pedicellariae that most starfish use to clean the skin surface of debris, but its small, moving hairs or cilia may create enough of a water current to keep the surface of its skin clean. It has visual sensors at the end of each ray that can detect light and note prey. To eat its prey, it covers the prey with its stomach and oozes digestive juices over it; this liquefies the food, enabling the bat star to ingest it. It is omnivorous, eating both plants and animals alive or dead.
Habitat Rocks, Ocean or bay shallows.
Range Alaska, California, Northwest, Western Canada.

LISLE – With the high school football season kicking off Friday, teams across the state will be taking the field with one goal in mind — make it to the state finals Thanksgiving weekend. The players and coaches at Benet believe they have the pieces in place to surpass last year's deep playoff run and make it the final weekend of the season.
NEW TARGET PRACTICE: Jack Euritt and Jack Toner were both East Suburban Catholic all-conference selections as senior wide receivers last year. Toner was ESCC league MVP, a Class 7A all-state selection. Their production and athleticism will be missed, but returning quarterback Jack Beneventi isn't losing any sleep.
"One great thing about our team is we always have receivers that are going to come up [from the lower levels] and step up," Beneventi said. "I was fortunate enough as a freshman to play with these guys on the sophomore team, so I feel like we already have our timing down."
HAND IN HAND: Advancing to the semifinals in football is never easy, but that's exactly what Benet did last season thanks to a high-powered aerial attack. Running back Porter Ontko has an idea of what could lift the Redwings even higher this season.
"We've got to get both our running game and passing games going early in the season," Ontko said. "Last year we went kind of back and forth with [how we used] them. This year I think we should establish both of them early on and make both of them weapons."
JUNIOR RANKS: The Redwings figure to start 11 seniors on the defensive side of the ball, have a trio of senior offensive linemen and two senior running backs, but head coach Pat New said it could be the junior class that holds the keys to Benet's success.
"I think it's avoiding injuries, and then I just think it's a matter of executing on offense and having some juniors step up, especially on our lines," New said. "We need some help on our O- and D-lines, so if we can have these younger guys play well on the lines, we should be in good shape."

About US Federal Policies & Human Biotechnology
Federal regulations on most human biotechnologies are inadequate, falling far short of the kind of comprehensive approach that is needed. This situation is due to the unique social and policy challenges posed by human biotechnologies, to the anti-regulatory environment of recent years, and to the divisive politics and religious beliefs that accompany issues involving human embryos.
One regulatory failure is Congress's inability to pass a law prohibiting human reproductive cloning. Nine in ten Americans oppose it, as does every member of Congress and nearly every reputable scientist. Bills that would prohibit reproductive cloning have been introduced several times, but have failed because of disagreements over research cloning.
Another failure is assisted reproduction's scant regulation and oversight. Despite numerous reported abuses and billions of dollars in revenues, federal oversight remains limited to collecting data on success rates.
Medical gene transfer (also called gene therapy) is slightly different. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are supposed to oversee each clinical trial. But researchers have often ignored this requirement, as revealed most dramatically after the death of 18-year-old Jesse Gelsinger in a gene transfer experiment.
The most publicized aspect of federal biotechnology policy have been the limitation on federal funding of embryonic stem cell research that was imposed by President Bush in 2001 and removed by President Obama in 2009.

Hippocratic Oath (episode)
this wiki
(written from a Production point of view)
Bashir tries to help members of a Jem'Hadar unit free themselves of their addiction to the drug the Founders use to control them. Meanwhile, Worf tries to adjust to life aboard DS9.
Summary Edit
Worf sits alone in Quark's, his eyes shifting between a PADD and a Markalian across the room. When Quark observes the poor quality of the Markalian's mugshot on the PADD, Worf is not amused. The Markalian is a known criminal, but Quark claims everyone is welcome at his bar. The Ferengi goes over to talk to the Markalian as Major Kira approaches and sits down with Worf. She agrees with Worf's observation that Quark is likely plotting something with the Markalian, yet she seems unconcerned, reassuring Worf that Odo keeps Quark in check. Worf agrees, but adds that Quark is not in prison.
- "Medical Officer's Log: Stardate 49066.5 Chief O'Brien and I have concluded our bio-survey of Merik III in the Gamma Quadrant. We are on course back to the wormhole and should arrive at the station two days ahead of schedule."
Meanwhile, on the runabout USS Rubicon, O'Brien and Doctor Bashir are discussing Keiko O'Brien's return to Deep Space 9 after spending several months on Bajor. Keiko is upset that her husband set up a workshop in their bedroom while she was gone, as she thinks it is a subconscious attempt to push her out of his life; although Miles does not think he has any motive, Bashir claims the opposite is true: Miles' desire to be closer to his wife is the reason, for the bedroom reminds him of her. O'Brien is relieved to hear this and wishes his wife was more like Bashir – though he tries to hide it. The conversation is interrupted when they detect a magneton pulse emanating from a nearby planet, likely the result of a damaged warp drive. However, a plasma field prevents the runabout's sensors from scanning the planet. The field causes them to crash land in the process.
The officers emerge to find themselves prisoners of the Jem'Hadar.
On the planet, Bashir and O'Brien are taken to a holding complex, while discussing the fact that the Jem'Hadar look rather "jumpy". Before their conversation can go further, the lead soldier, Goran'Agar, comes and takes Bashir to an isolated section of their complex and tells him that he is now working for the Jem'Hadar. Bashir refuses, but is then told of a story that he can't believe. The lead Jem'Hadar has freed himself of his need for ketracel-white. He believes that some aspect of the planet has freed him from his addiction, and wants Bashir to find a way for all Jem'Hadar to live without the need for ketracel-white.
Worf discusses with Captain Sisko and Odo the Markalian aboard the station and how he is likely plotting an illegal activity. Odo doesn't appreciate Worf attempting to interfere with his duties and assures Captain Sisko that he's already conducting an investigation. Sisko allows Odo to proceed and, while understanding Worf's position and appreciating his vigilance, reminds the Klingon that he is no longer a security officer but is in charge of coordinating all Starfleet activity in the sector. Worf promises not to let the incident interfere with his duties.
Bashir is still a little hesitant to help the Jem'Hadar, so he is led to an area where there are several soldiers obviously in withdrawal stages. A slight touch to any one of them results in excruciating pain. Upon seeing this, Bashir is once again asked if he will help. He says yes, but only with Chief O'Brien's assistance. The soldiers then receive the white necessary to relieve their symptoms.
Worf continues to observe the Markalian, becoming convinced that he is planning an illicit deal with Quark. He confronts Odo, questioning his ability to do his job, but Odo dismisses him. Worf later acts on his own initiative to arrest the Markalian during an exchange with Quark, only to discover that the "deal" was actually a sting operation masterminded by Odo to infiltrate the smuggling operation. Odo had posed as a bag of payment, and had intended to gather information once he was on board the Markalian's ship, but is content to merely arrest him and confiscate the goods from Quark.
Doctor Bashir comes to the decision that the Jem'Hadar deserve freedom, and feels that, once free of the drug, they may no longer be as murderous and could live peacefully. Despite his research, he was no closer to discovering why the lead Jem'Hadar did not need ketracel-white. Meanwhile, Chief O'Brien makes a pair of escape attempts from the Jem'Hadar, despite Bashir ordering him to help. When O'Brien finally meets up with Bashir to bring him to the runabout, Bashir refuses to leave, insisting that he can find a cure. O'Brien then destroys Bashir's equipment, and informs Bashir that charges can be filed against him when they return to DS9.
Worf, meanwhile, has approached Captain Sisko in order to inform him about his part in disrupting Odo's investigation. Sisko is sympathetic, and reminds him that things on the station are not always as black-and-white as they might be on a starship, "and Quark is definitely a shade of grey." He tells Worf that he will need time to adjust to the unwritten rules of the station, but is confident that Worf will eventually fit in.
Goran'Agar finds Bashir and O'Brien, and escorts them away from the research area. As they approach the runabout, another Jem'Hadar named Arak'Taral spots them, but Goran'Agar shoots him. When O'Brien confirms that he has been a soldier, Goran'Agar asks him to explain to Bashir what he intends to do for his men once they're safely away. He sends the officers off on the runabout, and returns to his men to ease their withdrawal from ketracel-white the only way left open to him: by killing them. As they return to the station, O'Brien apologizes and says that he took the only course of action that would save Bashir's life, while Bashir restates his responsibilities as a doctor and that O'Brien condemned the men to death. They decide to cancel their weekly darts game, but agree to take it up again in a few days.
Memorable quotes Edit
"You are a soldier?"
"I have been."
"Then you explain."
- - Goran'Agar and O'Brien
"I have fought against races that believe in mythical beings that guide their destinies and await them after death. They call them gods ... The Founders are like gods to the Jem'Hadar. But our gods never talk to us, and they don't wait for us after death. They only want us to fight for them... and to die for them."
- - Goran'Agar
"He's their commander. They trusted him. He can't leave them."
- - O'Brien, explaining to Bashir why Goran'Agar stayed to kill his men
"Good work, Chief. Keep this up, you may make a fine officer some day."
"Oh, thank you Lieutenant. Coming from you, that means a lot to me."
- - Bashir and O'Brien
"So we do not help them and that's the end of it!"
"No, that is not the end of it. I am the senior officer here and I have decided what we're going to do. Now, I need the bio-spectral phase discriminator from the runabout's sensor array. I haven't got the technical skills to remove it, so I'm ordering you to do it. Now, is that clear?
"Yes, sir."
- - Miles O'Brien, arguing not to help the Jem'Hadar while Julian Bashir pulls rank
"Odo keeps him in check."
"Yes... but not in prison."
- - Kira and Worf, discussing Quark
"A lovely place. Smells like a garbage dump!"
"I'm sorry I couldn't find a nicer place to crash land. Well, should we try again?"
- - Bashir and Miles O'Brien, on Bopak III just after crash landing
"You are what Starfleet refers to as a non-com."
"That's right."
"You must have a great deal of experience."
"I've been around."
"That makes you a priority target. We will kill you first."
- - Goran'Agar and Miles O'Brien
"Keiko only spends a few days at a time on the station. I'm the one living in those quarters. And if I wanna set up... a little workshop in the bedroom..."
"You set up a workshop in the bedroom?"
"Yeah. I don't use it when she's visiting."
"No, of course not."
"She says that I'm trying to live like a bachelor again. That I'm expressing a subconscious desire to push her out of our quarters."
"Now, that is ridiculous! I mean, if anything, by spending your free time in the bedroom, a place you intimately associate with Keiko, you're actually expressing a desire to be closer to her, during her absence. It's quite touching, really!"
"Exactly! Exactly! See, you understand! Now why can't she see that? Why can't she be more like, uh..."
"More like...?"
"Err, um, a man, more like a man."
"So. You wish Keiko was a man."
"I wish I was on this trip with someone else, that's what I wish."
- - O'Brien and Bashir
"I'd hate to think what would make the Jem'Hadar jumpy."
- - O'Brien
"When I served aboard the Enterprise, I always knew who were my allies and who were my enemies."
"Let's just say DS9 has more shades of gray. And Quark definitely is a shade of gray. He has his own set of rules, and he follows them diligently. Once you understand them, you understand Quark. I'd say that's true of everyone here. You'll fit in, commander. Give it time."
- - Worf and Sisko
Background informationEdit
Story and scriptEdit
- This episode came from two separate story pitches by two different writers. The first, from Nicholas Corea, was based around the story of a group of Jem'Hadar who were trying to free themselves from their addiction to ketracel-white, the first time the name is used as previously it had been described as a "missing enzyme" in "The Abandoned" and simply as a drug to which the Jem'Hadar are addicted to in "The Die is Cast". The second, from Lisa Klink, was about O'Brien and Bashir taking opposing sides in a conflict on an alien world – O'Brien sided with the natives, Bashir with the non-natives. The producers liked the idea of Klink's concept, putting O'Brien and Bashir on diametrically opposed sides, but they felt that the details weren't quite right and they got Klink to re-pitch the story several times with different plot elements in place. Producers referred to her story as their The Bridge on the River Kwai episode, and they likened Bashir to Col. Nicholson, the character in that film played by Alec Guinness, who effectively helps the 'enemy'. The problem with Klink's story was that producers couldn't decide exactly what it was that Bashir was trying to do for the enemy, what was causing the conflict between himself and O'Brien – what was the 'Bridge'? Eventually, it was René Echevarria who suggested putting Klink's story together with Corea's, thus providing the Bridge – Bashir was trying to help the Jem'Hadar beat their addiction, and O'Brien was against this idea. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- As Lisa Klink had recently completed an internship with the staff, she was given the chance to write the teleplay. Klink wrote the first and second drafts, and Ronald D. Moore provided an uncredited polish. Klink was pleased with Moore's work, calling it "great". [1]
- The writers saw the B-story of this episode as an important indication of how DS9's Worf was going to be different from TNG's Worf. As Ronald D. Moore explains, "He used to be a cop, more or less, on the USS Enterprise-D, but it's not going to be like that anymore. We wanted to keep emphasizing, 'this is not TNG. The station doesn't work like the Enterprise. Worf is going to have some troubles fitting in, but he's going to learn.'" (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- In the episode "To the Death", it is established that the Jem'Hadar don't eat, sleep or have sex, but in both this episode and "The Abandoned", there are references to Jem'Hadar consuming food. In the earlier episode, the Jem'Hadar child aboard Deep Space 9 says that he is hungry and demands to be fed. In this episode, Goran'Agar claims that his men have "eaten the same food as me". Ira Steven Behr, with tongue firmly in cheek, explains this slip by saying that Goran'Agar was being "metaphorically stupid, as Jem'Hadar so often are!" (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
Production Edit
- Although this episode aired the week after "The Visitor", it was actually filmed before it. The reason for this was that after "The Way of the Warrior" wrapped, the next episode scheduled to go into production was "The Visitor", to be directed by Rene Auberjonois, followed by "Hippocratic Oath", to be directed by David Livingston. However, a last minute change in Colm Meaney's film schedule meant that "Hippocratic Oath" now had to be shot first so that Meaney was available. As such, the episodes switched position in the production schedule. It is worth noting however that although the episodes switched weeks, the directors didn't, so Livingston ended up directing "The Visitor", and Auberjonois directed "Hippocratic Oath", something he wasn't entirely happy about: "it was a very difficult experience. I really came face-to-face with my own mortality as a director. I wasn't ready to go because I was still thinking about the other script." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- The role of Goran'Agar is played by Scott MacDonald, who had previously appeared in the first season episode "Captive Pursuit" as Tosk, which helped when auditions were held for the role of Goran'Agar. MacDonald commented "René actually requested me for the role which was flattering". (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - The Official Poster Magazine, issue 3)
- Robert Foxworth auditioned for the role of Goran'Agar, but the producers were so impressed with his performance that they decided to save him for a more substantial role in the future. They went on to cast him as Admiral Leyton in the two-parter "Homefront" and "Paradise Lost". (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- In an interview with the official Star Trek website in 2011, director Rene Auberjonois thought this episode was the one that stood out the most for him out of the eight he directed throughout Deep Space Nine. [2]
- Among the items from this episode which were sold off on the It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay was the prop Tallonian crystal. [3]
- This episode marked the first reference of a runabout belonging to the Danube-class of starships.
- Luther Sloan references the events of this episode in the sixth season episode "Inquisition".
- Since "Shadowplay", O'Brien's rank has been referred to as simply chief petty officer, as identified by Goran'agar, rather than the prior senior chief petty officer.
- Bashir briefly mentions the events of the episode "The Abandoned" to Goran'Agar.
- When O'Brien tells Goran'Agar that he has been a soldier on being asked, this is in reference to O'Brien's service during the Federation-Cardassian War, and the Setlik III massacre, mentioned in "The Wounded".
- Cirroc Lofton (Jake Sisko) does not appear in this episode.
- The aftermath of Bashir and O'Brien's disagreement in "Hippocratic Oath" is followed up in the Prophecy and Change short story "Broken Oaths".

Indeed. And now I'm going to go all JediTricks on y'all.
Here's my thoughts on the basic figures. I haven't opened the vehicles yet.
Beach Head (Nina Dojo)
It's impossible to dislike this figure, but it's impossible to get too excited, either. Hasbro almost seems to have a Beach Head fetish or something. He's all reused parts; he might be entirely a less-detailed repaint of POC Beach Head (I don't have him handy to compare). He's Beach Head; if you're a Joe collector, you kinda know what I mean. If you haven't got any of the previous 3,874 BH's, he'll seem a lot more exciting. A-
Cobra Commander
This is, sculpt-wise, an excellent figure. I really dig the look of him, particularly in black. Also, his snake staff is one of the few action accessories that I plan to use (albeit without the rocket), and his regular guns look nice enough. I plan to use him as Krake (from the IDW comics), perhaps getting one or two of the blue ones later to use as generals. But I can't justify another at full price--the sacrifice of the ankle articulation and the single-jointed knee really hurts the figure, moreso than most of the others like this, because his knee looks very gappy when it's bent. Too bad; aside from that, he's damned close to perfect. B-
Cobra Trooper
He should be better than he is. The design is decent enough, though nothing spectacular, but the color scheme (light and bright blue with black trim) kills it. He also suffers from a gappy knee, though it's not as conspicuous as with Cobra Commander. His gun is pretty bizarre, but at least it's not neon green. Haven't messed with the parachute contraption. Overall, he winds up being just okay and a little boring. With some paint detail, this could've been a whole 'nother figure. I'm hoping that, if the line doesn't take, they might repaint him a few different ways, like they did with the Neo-Viper for ROC. (I've also noticed the mask, partially due to the coloration, looks a lot like Snake Eyes IV.) B-
Something of a minor disappointment, to be honest. I think the reactive armor actually looks better in this color scheme (it gives it a weird 90s vibe), but he's just not especially exciting. I broke down and picked him up to do a headswap with the Joe Trooper, but the skin tones don't match. I might try the Joe Trooper's helmeted head, if I get more of that figure. The weapons are entirely useless, he has no webgear, and he's definitely re-using the ROC Tatum Channing head. Which begs the question of why, since he's a non-movie design anyway, didn't they re-use ROC legs as well and give the poor guy some joints. His knee gaps aren't too noticeable, but I'm looking at him and thinking how much he would benefit from simply being able to rotate his feet. Or some weapons that weren't hollowed-out neon orange monstrosities. Or anything. Anything at all. Not bad, but definitely nothing to write home about, either. C-
G.I. Joe Trooper
I'll be honest; I thought this guy looked kinda dumb until I opened him. The reviews were so glowing, though, I couldn't pass him up. Holy snot, am I glad I didn't! He's loaded with accessories--all of which, except for his extra head, can be stored on his person! Plus, ball-jointed wrists and rocker ankles that are flawlessly hidden in the "folds" of his pants. I don't think he was meant to be a Retaliation figure; I'm convinced this fellow is a 30th Anniversary holdover. I'm not entirely crazy about the mohawked head, but, really, who's going to display him with that one? My only regret is that I didn't get the blue version as well. I will correct that at the earliest opportunity. A+
Kamakura (Ninja Dojo)
He's a straight-up kitbash with a fairly plain color scheme. And, yet, this figure is absolutely sweet. I think he's my new favorite Kamakura figure by a wide margin; I've always loved the design, even if I didn't care for the idea of Sean Collins growing up to go all ninja. This guy's got more weapons than he knows what to do with, and he's definitely going to be on my revamped Joe Ninja Force. A
Red Ninja
As far as I can tell, this is just a straight-up repaint of Renegades Storm Shadow (and I don't have that figure handy to compare closely), only with the new rocker ankles. But that's all he needs to be. That's all a Red Ninja figure should ever be (and not that bizarre vehicle driver by that name from the early 90s). And Renegades Storm Shadow was so close to perfect, we didn't know rocker ankles could improve upon it. Ten bucks may be a bit steep for it, but, when this guy goes on sale or clearance (if that happens), I am army-building him. Great thing about GIJoe is that I can still display him with the older, far inferior Red Ninjas from a couple of years ago; they still look cool, but this guy's going to be in the foreground. The only drawback is that he only comes with two swords (and a stupid zipline accessory) and nothing to hold them in. Ideal as a backpack would be, I'll make do. A+
Red Ninja (Ninja Showdown)
At first I thought he didn't have the rocker ankles, because the joints on mine were a bit tight. But he does, so he's the same exact sculpt as the carded Red Ninja. The paint scheme is one Hasbro's used before for a Red Ninja Commander (though this outfit never actually appeared in the comic, IIRC), and he comes with a hat and mask. Unfortunately, he doesn't have any swords; he has two sais instead and I gave him Storm Shadow's naginata, which looks sweet with him. A+
Roadblock (Ninja Dojo)
Wow. This figure is the big surprise of the bunch. I was expecting to get him only for the other two figures (mostly Kamakura, since Beach Head is, well, Beach Head). First surprise was that he has two normal hands! Hot damn! He's an excellent likeness of The Rock (probably the best actor likeness in the Joe line), and just a massive figure. Can't tell, but I think he might re-use parts from the Night Adder/Resolute Roadblock. In person, the paint scheme is pretty flawless and looks quite realistic. He's not completely perfect; the head is a tad loose, and he has the single joint in his legs that many Retaliation figures suffer from (though, because of the sculpt and the coloration, the knee gap is barely noticeable. He's the newest "made-up" recruit on my Joe team: Night Force Heavy Artillery Gunner, code-name Rock. Seriously, if that other Roadblock goes on clearance, I might get one and do something with his screwy hand so it looks like he's holding a laser pistol. A
Snake Eyes
Sculpt-wise, this figure rocks. Ball-jointed wrists, rocker ankles, and all the (previously) standard articulation. But he seems a tad bland. He has a weird blue gun that looks like a futuristic Uzi equivalent, along with a black sword, and, well, that's about it in terms of actual weapons. Sure, he's got that insane robo-glider (that will be given to someone else), but I don't count that. He's just very dark matte grey with a bit of gloss paint on a few details, and that silly Arashikage logo on his arm. I wish the figure was as nice as the sculpt. But that's why there's the 3-pack version. He's not bad, but why get him when you can get a better version for a cheaper per-figure cost in the multipack? A
Snake Eyes (Ninja Showdown)
Wow. What a huge difference a little bit of detail and some more respectable accessories make. I'd say this is the definitive Snake Eyes, but he's still got some really strong competition from a couple of the POC versions. (Kinda sad that there were at least four POC versions in just under two years, eh?) The body is darker, the armored parts are silver, and the plain black webgear (as one reviewer pointed out, apparently based on Tim Bradstreet's work from Devil's Due's GIJoe: Reloaded series) kick the figure into overdrive. As far as I can tell, he's exactly the same sculpt as the carded version, just so much better. I'm not sure if he's the best SE ever, but he's definitely a strong contender for that title. A+
Storm Shadow
This is one bloody nice Storm Shadow sculpt. It may actually be the best yet. I prefer the starker paint scheme on the 3-pack version, but the muted silver on this one is beautiful, too. He comes with a crazy zipline thing I didn't bother with, along with two swords. The only (minor) advantage he has over the 3-pack version is a small backpack to store the swords (which is actually more useful than a lot of other ninja weapons he can't hold). This sculpt also has the new, kickarse rocker ankles. Funny how some figures sacrifice that joint, and it's improved on others. A+
Storm Shadow (Ninja Showdown)
Like Snake Eyes, this figure comes really close to topping a figure that we thought of as perfect (Renegades Storm Shadow). He doesn't have a backpack for his swords, unfortunately, unless I mistakenly gave his to Snake Eyes, which is his only real drawback. Also, like Snake Eyes, I much prefer the 3-pack version. The black and grey details really add to the figure, though he'd be a bit nicer if his gloves were black as on box photo. That's too minor a quibble to hold against him. A+

clown loaches never come out
hey all
bout 2/3 weeks ago i re aranged my tank and put an under gravel filter in. i have 4 clown loach 2 that are around 3 inches long and 2 that are about 1.5 inch long. i got the 2 smaller ones because the bigger ones always seamed to be fighting so i got a couple extra and put a tree root in so there is now around 3 caves for them to hide in. only problem is, is that no i rarely see them. i used to see them when i got up in the morning swimming around up and down the glass and what not. now if i see them its only one at a time and as soon as i put the light on it goes hiding. i can see them all when there hiding just about so i no there not dead but they dont even come out to feed now.
i put pellits in, that they usually eat, also frozen blood worm and daphnia, and they wont come out for any now.
i tried live blood worm today but still no sign of them. its only over the last week that theyre not coming out
is there something wrong?
cheers, phil

Clowns prefer lower lighting. If its too bright for them they will retreat to a shady area till its dim again. That said, My tank is fairly bright and the clowns I have in there are always out and about. Maybe a period of climatization is needed. Start with just a couple hours of light and increase the photoperiod gradually over a couple weeks
Is it just the new clowns that are hiding or all the clowns?
When i got a new clown to add to my group i didnt see him for a few weeks.. eventually he started coming out and joined the group. It can take ages for a new clown to feel comfortable in a new tank.
The low lighting is a good ideaFor Fishy info and Fishy vids visit my youtube channel. I have added lots of good links and my own views on the main issues of fishkeeping.
Mine come out in the morning with very dim lighting. Shouldn't be a big deal, they like to hide most of the time.your friendly neighbourhood arowanaman!
Is that tree root one of those fake ones you see in pet stores? If so, be very careful with that as loaches get tight into the thing and can not get out. I had to slam mine with a hammer to break it open so I could rescue my loaches. The more plants, rocks, pvc, etc, for them, the more you will see of them. They don't like coming out in the open under those lights so make them more comfortable and remove fake decorations that are death traps if you have them.

its all of them that are hiding. they definatly werent stuck in there as this morning i saw the two big ones out and about. i think they must of bin a bit hot because my heater decided to stay on and my tank got to early 30 degrees! ive also just removed the tree root just incase. im going to get some plants and maybe some rocks and make them another home.
as for the lighting, would it work if i got some floating plants? would that dim the light enough?
cheers, phil

Family: Testudinidae, Tortoises view all from this family
Description Shell domes. Plastron on males concave and yellowish. Oblong carapace with scutes. Brown. Small head and greenish-yellow eyes. Front and hind feet all the same size.
Dimensions 23.5-36.8cm. (9 1/4-14 1/2")
Endangered Status The Desert Tortoise is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as threatened in Arizona (except in areas south and east of the Colorado River), California, Nevada, and Utah. Desert Tortoises have suffered declines due to the degradation of habitat, predation of eggs and young, disease, and collection for the pet trade. Mining, agriculture, industrial and residential development, and the proliferation of off-road vehicles have contributed to the alteration of their desert habitat. Tortoise populations are slow to recover from population losses because the females do not breed until they are 15 to 20 years old. Then they may lay eggs only when feeding conditions are favorable. The young tortoises are so vulnerable to predators and other hazards, it is estimated that only 2 to 3 percent survive into adulthood.
Breeding Spring, eggs laid May-July. 2-3 clutches, 2-14 eggs per clutch. Nest 6" deep, funnel shaped. Sometimes dug at mouth of burrow. Hatch in August-October. Mature at 15-20 years.
Habitat Canyon bottoms, Creosote, scrub and cacti areas.
Range California through s. Nevada to Mexico.
Discussion Feeds early mornings to late afternoon. Some tortoise tunnels found have been over 30' feet long. Often spend winter in communal dens, surface in March. Males fight when they meet. Wil bob their heads and then rush at each other clashing their gulag scutes together. Sometimes end up overturned.

Loved the latest paper on CNM, answered a lot of questions. It was interesting to see that they traced back the number of generations of the mutation and could give an approximate time for the introduction of the mutation into the breed of about 50 years, and that it seems that a National Stake winner as possible dog Zero for CNM. The UK was the country of origin. It is pretty scarey to see how fast a Genetic defect from one "Stud of the Day" can quickly influence the whole of the breed. The first documented case was 1976 based on clinical symptoms. The possibility of development of ways to treat CNM.
Below is a link to the article.

Well Miami just flat out stole Alquadin Muhammad from Notre Dame and Bama
Muhammad was rumored to be a Cane the past week or two. It actually would have been a huge upset today if he chose elsewhere.
Miami has gotten 3 commitments (Bush, McCord) out of this game the past two years, after losing seemingly every televised hat trick the previous half decade.
Now we'll be overconfident going forward.
I watched Muhammad quite a bit in this game. Very lean. Playing left defensive end. Looks like McCord but seems narrower and not as strong, even if his weight is higher. More sudden and agile than McCord.
USC has half the guys in this game, if I'm allowed to mention that. At 7-6 I guess it's okay.
just saw the news on muhammod on facebook... anything else you guys can tell me about him? I'm getting tired of seeing FSU pull in the great recruiting classes, we need to be stealing some of their guys.
Miami has confirmed that Cristobal will be the Canes tight ends and associate head coach with former tight ends coach Brennan Carroll taking over wide receivers.
It still didnt make sense for Pete Garcia to fire him.
Oh well, let the calls for Cristobal to take over Golden's job begin!
Some sites are reporting that the University of Miami expects to receive the NCAA notice of allegations with 72 hours.
Indications that there may be charges against football, basketball and women's basketball.
As a private institution Miami doesn't have to release everything within the letter. They might release some aspects. Apparently it's 90 days to respond.
The timing could be the NCAA's attempt to screw the Canes in recruiting. No doubt some details will leak from other sources.
man I long for the days when this program is legit again...
Apparently the NCAA notice arrived this morning. That's what Canes sites are reporting. Best case is we didn't get hit with "lack of institutional control" as opposed to some of the lesser terms like "failure to monitor."
It's very possible that aspect will leak to the media, even if nothing else does.
How about some love for Canes basketball

Ensembles and Musical Organizations
The Department of Music's ten faculty-directed ensembles are regularly scheduled 1-credit classes, open by audition to all students in the College. Those interested in participating in small chamber-music groups can meet with Prof. Harman and register for the 1-credit course MUR 155 Chamber Ensembles. Click here for a full description of each ensemble.
There are student-directed groups abound on campus, as well. Four a cappella groups are informally supported by the music department, although participation in them does not earn collegiate credit. There are many more vocal and instrumental groups operating independently, some having been in existence for several years, others forming rather spontaneously from a number of students with a common interest.
