[[Tom Paris]]' [[bridge]] shift ends, so he notifies his replacement of ''Voyager''{{'}}s current course. The ship will be passing by a [[red dwarf]] system and Paris cannot determine yet if there are any [[class M]] planets. He proceeds to the [[Operations station|operations]] console currently manned by [[Ensign]] [[Harry Kim]]. Paris asks him if he's ready to leave, but Kim can't because he wants to begin a [[transtator]] assembly [[diagnostic]]. Paris begins to persuade him to leave; he planned a double date with the [[Delaney sisters]]. Kim continues to object to the date, mentioning he has a [[Libby|girlfriend]] on [[Earth]]. Paris then mentions that he told the sisters that Kim broke the single [[pilot]] speed record at [[Starfleet Academy]], which was false. Their conversation is interrupted when the [[ship]] rocks. [[Kathryn Janeway]] and [[Neelix]] stumble out of the [[ready room]]. At the same time, [[Kes]], who is in her [[quarters]], suddenly wakes up from her sleep feeling disturbed. On the bridge, [[Tuvok]] reports that ''Voyager'' is on the leading edge of a [[shock wave]]. Paris returns to his station and makes some instrument readings. He reports a [[debris]] cloud in a red dwarf system that ''Voyager'' is approaching. Tuvok reports that the debris [[cloud]] consists of "differentially-charged [[polaric ion]]s." Neelix is unfamiliar with life in the system, so no additional information can be ascertained until they arrive at the planet. ''Voyager''{{'}}s course is modified and they set a course for the red dwarf system. [[File:Makull's homeworld devasted with Voyager in orbit.jpg|thumb|''Voyager'' in orbit of the planet]] ''Voyager'' reaches the [[planet]] when Kes arrives on the bridge. She knows something has gone terribly wrong. All vegetation on the planet has been destroyed and Janeway inquires about [[life sign]]s. Kim and Kes, at the same time, say "none." The [[atmosphere]] is filled with [[polaric radiation]], which can affect [[sensor]] scans. ''Voyager'' enters planetary [[orbit]]. An analysis of the planet shows that the [[radiation]] is within acceptable levels and the [[atmosphere]] is breathable. Janeway orders Tuvok, Paris, and [[B'Elanna Torres]] to [[transporter room]] 2 to beam down to the planet. The [[away team]] materializes to the surface of the unknown planet to find it in complete ruin. === Act One === [[File:Makull's homeworld surface devasted.jpg|thumb|The surface devastated]] Scans indicate the [[Makull's homeworld|planet]] was devastated by the detonation of polaric ions. The planet's residents used polaric energy for power; something went wrong, causing the explosion. Back on ''Voyager'', Kes is [[tear duct|tearfully]] explaining imagery she saw to Neelix. She thought she saw the planet's civilians burn to ashes due to the explosion, but Neelix dismisses the thoughts. After Kes justifies that her [[people]]'s ancestors had [[telepathic]] capabilities, Neelix dismisses that, too, as mere legend, like those of [[Drakian Forest dweller]]s. [[File:Time of the explosion.jpg|thumb|The time of the explosion]] On the planet, Paris locates an object he believes to be a [[timepiece]] that is stopped at 401:22:84. Suddenly, he turns around and finds a bright town square bustling with activity. None of the other [[away team]] members can see this. When Janeway puts her hand on Paris's shoulder, everything returns to its chaotic state. Torres takes out her [[Starfleet tricorder|tricorder]] and does a [[scan]] of Paris, noting that his [[nervous system]] is showing a [[temporal flux]], it is rapidly returning to normal. The explosion has caused [[subspace]] to be ripped into many [[Subspace fracture|fractures]]. With concern, Janeway calls ''Voyager'' and requests an immediate beam-up. Before the [[transport]] can begin, everything around Janeway and Paris lightens up as they find themselves on the planet before the explosion: they have been thrown back in [[time]]. Janeway and Paris are in the bustling town square Paris previously saw. Paris takes out his tricorder while Janeway taps her [[combadge]] in an attempt to establish contact with ''Voyager''. A loud scream is heard coming from [[Latika]], a boy who witnessed Janeway and Paris appearing "out of thin air." An [[Makull's officer 001|law enforcement officer]] comes over to the boy's aid and the [[boy]] tells him about Janeway and Paris. To the officer, it is all superstition and he tells the boy that he has been reading too many ''[[Darkstorm]]'' tales. He tells Latika to leave and disperses the crowd to prevent any problems. He goes over to Janeway and Paris and apologizes for the incident. The {{dis|Starfleet uniform|late 2360s-early 2370s|Starfleet uniforms}} cause the officer to question their [[clothing]], inquiring if they came from another [[province]] on the [[continental transport]]. Janeway explains that it is formal clothing, causing the officer to mention clothing from [[Kalto Province]]. She inquires about clothing shops and the [[officer]] points one out. Proceeding to a shop, Paris notices a timepiece on display with the [[time]] 371:20:01. The [[Makull's shopkeeper 001|shopkeeper]] notices him and proceeds over, which prompts Paris to inquire about the timepiece. The shopkeeper explains about the timepiece, noting that that the three number sets are equal to rotations, intervals, and fractions. He notes that the object costs fourteen ''{{dis|keloda|currency}}s'', but Paris leaves, saying he will think about buying it later – if there's time. Returning to Janeway, he estimates that the planet will be destroyed the next day. === Act Two === :"''[[First officer's log, USS Voyager|First officer's log]], supplemental. There's been no sign of Captain Janeway or Lieutenant Paris since they were lost in a subspace fracture.''" In ''Voyager''{{'}}s [[briefing room]], Torres and Kim discuss how Janeway and Paris were thrown back in time by a [[subspace fracture]]. The mystery was why Paris returned from the past to the present. This was due to him being only partly in the fracture. Hoping that Janeway activated a [[subspace beacon]] from her [[combadge]], Kim and Torres begin to develop an idea on widening the fracture at the beacon's location to return Janeway and Paris to the present, but they don't yet know how this might be done. [[File:Kes, Neelix, and The Doctor, 2371.jpg|thumb|"''You have a lovely brain. It will make a fine addition to our files.''"]] Meanwhile, Kes is in [[sickbay]] with Neelix receiving scans of her [[brain]] due to her telepathic experience. However, Kes' anatomy isn't on file in the medical records, making [[The Doctor]] upset. He starts making sarcastic remarks regarding medical protocol for new crew members and inquiring whether other new crew were on board as well. Kes notifies him that the [[Maquis]] crew were also on board, resulting in The Doctor attempting to contact Janeway, until he is told she's missing. He prompts them to notify the highest ranking officer who is "not missing" to visit him and to shut off his program when they leave. Neelix reminds The Doctor that he never told them about her condition. The Doctor makes a humorous remark as that she is the healthiest member of her species that he has seen, since she is the only [[Ocampa]] that he has ever seen. He takes a guess at Kes' condition and speculates that it is due to physiological adjustments to space travel. She is advised to drink lots of fluids (as he considers it sound advice regardless of her condition) and she deactivates The Doctor's program. In a clothing shop on the planet, Janeway and Paris' two [[Starfleet uniform]]s are on display. They emerge from the shop wearing clothing similar to that of the planet's citizens. To assist ''Voyager'' in their search, Janeway activates a subspace beacon from her combadge. Concerned for the planet's citizens, Paris wants to notify the people about upcoming events. They begin a conversation about the [[Prime Directive]], which turns into an argument. Paris recalls [[Owen Paris|his father]] lecturing him about the Prime Directive like a [[holiday]] [[sermon]]. Janeway reminds Paris that his father considered it the guiding principle of space exploration and sternly orders him not to warn the planet's citizens of their impending armageddon. The argument ends when they see Latika watching them. They try to move away, but the boy catches up and accuses them of lying. He says he went to the Continental Transport and talked to the [[transport attendant]], who mentioned he transported only four people that day, including two older citizens with a child. Paris attempts to scare the boy by mentioning that he and Janeway ate their child and that they were [[demon]]s. Scared, the boy runs away. With the boy gone, they begin to develop a plan on how to return to the present. Janeway comes up with an idea to use a tricorder to emit a [[polaric field]] to scan for fractures. They find a polaric energy conduit in the town square which makes Paris wonder where the energy comes from. At a [[power plant]], a [[protest]] demonstration is in progress. The protesters are shouting complaints as the guards attempt to hold them back. Looking for the power plant, Janeway and Paris come upon the demonstration. Latika is following them unnoticed. The scene becomes violent as the guards enter the crowd and start hitting people with batons. One of the guards sees Janeway and hits her in the head, causing her to fall back. Paris punches the guard as the protest leader helps Janeway up and leads her out of the area. The rest of the crowd, including Paris, follows. [[File:Testing the polaric generator.jpg|thumb|The polaric generator activated]] In [[engineering]], Kim and Torres demonstrate the object they have developed to open a subspace fracture to Chakotay and Tuvok: a [[polaric generator]]. The device is activated and emits a green beam in front of them, causing a ripple effect. It uses the same polaric energy used on the planet to open a fracture. Tuvok recommends using the generator where Janeway and Paris disappeared. At that instant, the fracture emits a large burst of light and the generator disengages. The one problem with the generator is that it burns out after a maximum of 30 seconds at the necessary intensity. Another issue with the generator is that it cannot be used in the same location more than once due to subspace damage. Chakotay brings up the concern of becoming trapped in a fracture themselves. Torres has thought ahead and modified some tricorders to detect the fractures. She then displays an [[armband]] that deploys an [[antipolaric field]]. Chakotay compliments Torres and Kim and starts to leave, until Kes and Neelix arrive. Kes insists that she needs to join the away team to the planet. She mentions she has already seen the planet and insists again. Chakotay considers her request. Paris and Janeway are in a house owned by the protest leader. Paris is treating Janeway's head wound. The lead protester and his colleague come from the upper level to talk to them. He apologizes and introduces himself as [[Pe'Nar Makull]] along with his colleague [[Ny Terla]]. He inquires as to why they were at the power plant. Janeway continues to use her alibi by saying she was touring the plant, comparing it to the one from [[Kalto Province]]. Terla becomes suspicious, mentioning that he has never seen a Kalton with Janeway's hair color. She attempts to shrug it off until Makull wonders if they are part of the government, despite the wound she received. Paris does not know why anybody would want to infiltrate the protesters, though Makull mentions that polaric protests occur in Kalto also. He starts questioning Janeway and Paris about the day before, inquiring when they were last at a power plant and if they were in it earlier. Terla brings out a hand-held device, a [[safety monitor]] for polaric energy. He states that Janeway and Paris were reading five times the normal readings of a citizen, making them think they were in a power plant previously. He and another colleague take out pistols and aim them at Janeway and Paris. === Act Three === In the present, an away team consisting of Chakotay, Kes, Tuvok, Torres and Kim are at the location where Janeway and Paris disappeared. Kes' telepathic senses give her the feeling that she can reach out and touch the citizens of the past. Scanning the area, Tuvok cannot locate any fractures in subspace. Kim, who is a distance away, calls out the team. He has located a signal from a combadge, in present time. They attempt to communicate, but there is no response. They follow the signal in hopes of finding some answers. In the past, Janeway is being asked questions while Paris is still under guard. Makull asks for her name, which she reluctantly provides. Makull thinks it is an unusual name which she shrugs off by saying it is not unusual in Kalto Province. He then asks what area of Kalto she came from, which she tries to dodge in saying there was no point to the question. He asks if the government knows of their plans, and Janeway truthfully answers that she doesn't know. They are interrupted when Terla enters the room holding on to a struggling Latika. Present time, the away teams arrives at the building where Janeway and Paris were held. They do not detect any life-signs. Janeway tries to prevent Latika from being involved at risk of being revealed. This risk becomes real when the boy shouts out that they are lying about their identity. Paris sarcastically thanks the boy as Makull listens to him. He mentions they lied about taking the Continental Transport, because he talked to the attendant himself. Terla asks Makull what he should do with the boy. He tells him to place him at the stairway with Paris. He does so, threatening Latika so that he will remain quiet. [[File:Destroyed combadge.jpg|thumb|Harry Kim locates Paris and Janeway's combadges]] In the present, the team locate two damaged combadges. The combadges had automatically activated a signal when they were damaged by the explosion. They search the area for any further evidence. On Makull's desk are a tricorder and a [[phaser]]. He questions Janeway on their use, thinking they are spy equipment. She lies by mentioning they are surveying equipment and that she and Paris were interested in buying land. Terla is curious and asks Janeway to see how they work. She hesitantly reaches for the phaser but Makull stops her, cautious that it might be a weapon. On the stairs, Paris starts to talk with the boy, mentioning he was right that he didn't eat children. Latika mentions that he didn't really scare him and he would tell his father at the [[Media Bureau]] about Paris and Janeway. Paris interrupts Latika by asking if his father was a [[journalist]], which he is, and so is Latika. He writes for his school newspaper, and he mentions he's going to write about their lies. Paris asks the boy's name, which Latika tells him. He then apologizes to Latika, but doesn't mention why (due to the Prime Directive). Makull is now talking to Janeway about the dangers of polaric energy, mentioning it could destroy the whole planet. He mentions that their cause received much support after the accident at [[Markov]]. Still believing Janeway and Paris are spies, he mentions that they are going ahead with their plan the next day. Janeway then comes up with an idea saying aloud, "''Wait a minute.''" In the present, Kes hears Janeway say this. When Kes calls out to her, Janeway can also hear Kes. Makull goes over to Janeway and asks if she has anything else to say. She, ignoring the Prime Directive, spontaneously mentions she is {{Captain}} Kathryn Janeway of the [[Federation]] starship ''Voyager''. In the present, Kes mentions to Chakotay that she can feel the presence of Janeway and Paris. Chakotay inquires if there is a subspace fracture present, which there is. He orders that the generator be set up. In the past, Janeway continues to reveal information about herself, stating that she and Paris were from the future. Latika is amazed that his assumption of them was, indeed, true. She reveals to Makull that there is going to be a polaric explosion that will destroy the planet. Makull doesn't buy it, despite her explanation of how she and Paris were thrown into the past. [[File:Too late.jpg|thumb|Too late]] The generator is set up in present time at the proper coordinates. It is activated and the fracture is located. Torres reports that she found a subspace beacon and starts to widen the fracture. Chakotay taps his combadge to contact Janeway. It is successful, and his message is heard over Janeway's combadge. Terla instantly removes the combadge, claiming the badges are eavesdropping devices. She tries to explain that her crew are attempting to contact them, but Terla doesn't believe her, either. He confiscates Paris's combadge as well. Makull then orders him to get the [[particle injector]]. Terla proceeds over to a safe in the wall and takes out an injector. Makull takes the injector and puts it in a bag, along with the tricorder and phaser. He orders Janeway and Paris to join them, along with Latika. Just after the group leaves the room, the fracture opens in front of Makull's desk. After they make another unsuccessful attempt at communication, the generator gives out and the fracture is closed. === Act Four === On the way to the power plant, Janeway and Paris discuss the situation at hand. Paris ask why Janeway told Makull their real story after backing up the Prime Directive earlier. She notes that the Prime Directive was broken the second they were thrown back in time in that they changed the activists' schedule to that day. If they had not been thrown back in time, any number of events could have occurred, including the arrest of the activists. She feels it is up to Paris and her to deal with the crisis. Returning to ''Voyager'', the [[senior staff]] tries to come up with another plan in the briefing room to retrieve Janeway and Paris. The chances of their retrieval start to diminish as Kim reports that 70% of the fractures have closed. Torres wants to begin searching the flashpoint of the explosion, but Tuvok is skeptical of the idea. She tries to explain that Janeway and Paris may have tried to stop the explosion, but Tuvok brings up the Prime Directive. Despite the objection, Chakotay expresses that he would've gone to the power plant, after which Tuvok tries to point out that Janeway would not think the same way as he did. Again, Chakotay ignores Tuvok's objections and orders the staff to beam down to the flashpoint. Makull and the group arrive with Janeway and Paris at the plant entrance. He begins to instruct Janeway as to what is supposed to happen. She is to pretend she is a government official who is helping to negotiate a settlement over a dispute. She expresses her objections to his idea. He tells her that Terla has a gun trained on Latika. Terla takes his pistol and hides it by crossing his arms. The group approach the gate and a guard comes out to meet them. Makull introduces Janeway as a governmental official, at which she steps forward. :"''I am a hostage, these men are here to break into the plant.''" The guard takes a few steps back, comprehending what she just said. He reaches for his weapon, but Makull shoots him before he can. Latika, remembering the threat about his death, attempts to run away. Terla takes out his gun and aims, but Paris runs in and takes the bullet for the boy. Janeway and Latika go to Paris to check on his condition while Terla takes out a second guard. Makull activates the plant gate and tells Janeway, "''Their lives are on your conscience!''" While looking over Paris, Latika is surprised that Paris saved him. Paris, however, doesn't want to slow Janeway's progress. She tells Latika to look after him and heads for the plant, taking one of the fallen guards' weapons. In the power plant, Makull and the others arrive at a cylindrical [[corridor]] where they intend to do their work. Janeway is able to catch up with them, but hides behind the corridor's segments so that they will not see her. In the present, the away team beams down to the exact same location in the power plant, noting that the polaric levels are at a very high level, the flashpoint of the explosion. Tuvok notes numerous subspace fractures in the area, which prompts the team to set up the equipment. Back in the past, Janeway creeps to the section where the men are working without being detected. She sees their bag, with a phaser, tricorder and the particle injector, on the ground, unattended. Terla needs the injector, so Makull turns around to reach for the bag. Janeway comes out of cover and points the gun at Makull, requesting that he hand her the bag. While setting up the equipment in the future, Tuvok notes the coordinates of a nearby fracture. They initiate the generator but detect no subspace beacon. Before he can surmise that Janeway and Paris were not in the area, Kes detects Janeway's presence, noting she died in the corridor. In the past, Janeway still has Makull at gunpoint, trying to convince him to stop what he is doing or everybody would die. She assumes Makull is trying to sabotage the plant, but he notes he wouldn't do anything like that. He tries to get her to lower the gun by noting that something could go wrong if she fires the weapon near a polaric conduit. She ignores his warning and demands that he give her the bag. Makull tightens his grip on it while his men stand tall. She says, "''All right then, we'll wait.''" The away team continues with their plans, trying to figure out how to open the fracture prior to the explosion. All Torres can decide is to make an educated guess. Tuvok then notes that Kes may not be correct, but he has no alternative ideas, and thus agrees to the activation of the generator. Chakotay agrees and it is activated. [[File:Subspace fracture closing.jpg|thumb|The subspace fracture closes, creating a [[alternate timeline|new timeline]] where the explosion never occured]]The men and Janeway continue to wait, so she asks for the time. Terla takes out a timepiece and mentions that it is 401 rotations plus 21 (401:21:02). She says to wait until it is 23. Makull asks about the importance of that time, but then sarcastically remarks that it is the time of the explosion. Before he can fully finish his comment, a bright light appears behind Janeway which increases in size, the widening of a subspace fracture. Terla has no idea what's going on, but Janeway realizes that her crew is trying to cut through subspace. As the fracture gets larger, Makull notes that it is getting closer and closer to the polaric conduit on the wall. It all comes together to Janeway: their own rescue attempt was the cause of the explosion. Using her phaser, she forces the rift to close on itself, stopping the explosion. When she does this, time resets itself, and everyone finds themselves back on ''Voyager'', moments before the shock wave would have hit the ship. Paris once again tries to interest Kim in double-dating the Delaney sisters, and no one remembers anything about the incident, except Kes, who is strangely relieved that a nearby planet is teeming with life. ''Voyager'' continues on course back towards the Alpha Quadrant. ==Memorable quotes== "''It seems I've found myself on a voyage of the damned.''" : - '''The Doctor''' "''Come on.

Executive Producer [[Jeri Taylor]] recalled, "''The original pitch was what if you were in Dresden twenty-four hours before the fire bombing and knew it was coming? What would you do?''" (''[[Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages]]'', p. 136) * Placing Janeway at the center of the story, by having her be one of the characters who is aware of the impending incident, was a concerted attempt to develop her character early in the series of {{s|VOY}}. "''We did it deliberately,''" Executive Producer [[Michael Piller]] admitted. "''It's another experiment from ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|Deep Space Nine]]'' I think we learned from. It was terribly important for us to establish this captain's anchor position, and we didn't do it that well in the [[DS9 Season 1|first season]] of ''Deep Space Nine''.''" (''[[Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages]]'', p. 136) * The episode also facilitated development of Janeway's relationship with Paris. Jeri Taylor recalled, "''{{'}}Time and Again' [...] allowed Janeway and Paris to get off together alone and build another stepping stone in the bond between the two of them.''" (''[[Cinefantastique]]'', Vol. 27, No. 4/5, p. 34) * During September, October and November, {{y|1994}}, Michael Piller was finishing the teleplay for this episode, immediately before starting to write the first draft script for {{e|The Cloud}}. (''[[A Vision of the Future - Star Trek: Voyager]]'', p. 323) The final draft of this episode's teleplay was submitted on {{d|27|October|1994}}. [http://www.indiana.edu/~liblilly/lilly/mss/subfile/taylorjinv.html] === Cast and characters === * Executive Story Editor [[Kenneth Biller]] liked how this episode advances the relationship between Janeway and Paris, saying the developing interactions between them were "the good things in the episode." Biller, however, didn't like the portrayal of Latika, critiquing, "''The show [...] suffered from child-actor syndrome. If you remember, there's a kid that Paris is accused of threatening, and you ultimately wish he had.''" (''[[Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages]]'', p. 136) * Thoroughly approving of this episode, Paris actor [[Robert Duncan McNeill]] once commented it "is a very interesting show." (''{{dis|Starlog|magazine}}'' #213) * Jeri Taylor thought this episode was notable for exploring the potentialities of Kes' inherent abilities. "''She doesn't know quite what she's dealing with in this amazing brain of hers so she is on a quest and an exploration,''" said Taylor. "''Of course, since none of that episode happened she doesn't [yet] know any of that.''" (''[[Cinefantastique]]'', Vol. 27, No. 4/5, p. 34) === Sets, props, and alien design === * According to Michael Piller, the sets for this episode had to be reduced to a minimum, due to budgetary problems. He explained, "''We spent a great deal of money on the first several episodes and 'Time and Again' was one of those that was extremely expensive. Frankly, the way I originally structured it, it would have been prohibitively expensive, because we were actually thinking about two whole new sets of the planet's surface, one destroyed and one not destroyed, so that you could go back and forth. As it turned out, that was just impossible to do. Essentially, we had to use the same sets and find ways of making them look post-apocalyptic with lights and smoke.''" ({{STV|5|12}}) Piller elaborated, "''Originally, we had planned to make two towns, one before the explosion and one after the explosion, and we couldn't afford that. So essentially the second version of the town was a much darker, smokier, less distinct place. We had people occupying the same place at the same time, and you needed some touchstones, some anchors, to say where we were, and I'm not sure we had those.''" (''[[Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages]]'', p. 136) * In October 1994, Senior Illustrator/Technical Consultant [[Rick Sternbach]] created a conceptual illustration of the power station corridor that, in the story, serves as the flashpoint of the polaric detonation. ({{STV|1|68}}) * Several set pieces seen in this episode were used in previous episodes and series. The street lamps were seen on [[Romulus]] and [[Rutia IV]] before, a large wall on the marketplace was originally a secret doorway on the [[Amargosa observatory]] in {{film|7}}, the [[polaric generator]] was previously seen as an alien [[field generator]] in {{TNG|Birthright, Part I}} and the bomb is the same prop as the one used by [[Ansata]] terrorists in {{e|The High Ground}}. * In October 1994, Rick Sternbach created a concept drawing for a "110 camera disguise", to be used in this episode. ({{STV|1|71}}) * The weapon that the guard fires into the air during the protest scene is actually a Calico M-950/Liberty III 9mm pistol. Similarly, the weapons used by the rebels seem to be Heckler & Koch P9 semi-automatic pistols. (''{{dis|Delta Quadrant|reference book}}'', p. 17) * Ken Biller was not a fan of the design of this episode's alien species. He commented, "''They looked Human, except they have different hair and costumes. It's unfortunate that our first episode of a show [sic], where we're seventy thousand light years away, had aliens that looked completely Human.''" (''[[Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages]]'', p. 136) === Production and visual effects === [[File:Time and again on location.jpg|thumb|An area of this episode's location shoot]] [[File:Shooting Time and Again.jpg|thumb|The filming of a scene from this episode is prepared]] * Outdoor scenes were shot at the [[Tillman Water Reclamation Plant]]. (''[[Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages]]'', p. 136) The plant's Japanese garden, normally seen in many other ''Star Trek'' episodes shot at the plant, is not seen this time, however, but rather the industrial-looking front part of the main building is shown. * This episode had a troublesome shoot. Michael Piller commented, "''I was a little disappointed with the location stuff we did. We got caught in the rain, and it looked kind of bleak. I think the director was under a great deal of pressure to get everything done.''" (''[[Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages]]'', p. 136) * During the shoot, Stunt Coordinator [[Dennis Madalone]] was interviewed for the documentary ''[[Star Trek: Voyager - Inside the New Adventure]]''. In the same program, he can be seen leaping onto a large, blue safety mat on the ground outdoors, and preparing to perform the moment when a character he plays in this episode, specifically a guard at the power station, exits a guard station at the site but is shot by the invaders. Squibs were used to represent gunshots in the wall behind him when it came time to shoot the scene. * This episode's designated visual effects supervisor was [[Robert D. Bailey]] (rather than [[Ronald B. Moore]] or [[David Stipes]]). On {{d|5|December|1994}}, Bailey was still occupied with postproduction work on the episode. (''[[A Vision of the Future - Star Trek: Voyager]]'', p. 33) === Continuity and trivia === * This episode features the first of 17 times that [[Kathryn Janeway]]'s death is depicted over the course of the series. On this occasion, the version of Janeway that succumbs to death is one of an alternative timeline that ultimately doesn't come to pass, and the cause of death is a polaric explosion on a planet's surface. * Proceeding under the assumption that there are 50 intervals per rotation and 100 fractions per interval, Paris and Janeway are transported to approximately 33 hours before the disaster. * As Jeri Taylor noted in ''[[Cinefantastique]]'' (Vol. 27, No. 4/5, p. 34), this episode is the first of numerous instances wherein Kes' unusual powers of perception are featured. * This is also the first episode in which the [[Delaney sisters]] are mentioned. They are referenced in several subsequent episodes before appearing on screen in {{e|Thirty Days}}. * Following {{e|Parallax}}, this is the second episode in a row that deals with temporal mechanics (e.g. in both episodes, effect precedes cause, in some manner). * Although the planet and the [[Makull's species|species]] featured in this episode are never mentioned by name, the book ''[[Star Trek: Star Charts]]'' refers to the planet as [[Markov]]-[[Kalto Province|Kalto]], named after two provinces on the planet. === Reception === * Ultimately, Michael Piller was moderately proud of this installment. He commented, "''I thought it was a pretty good show. It was part of our learning curve. It wasn't quite as good as I hoped it would be, but I thought there were many good things about it. For a traditional time anomaly story, it holds up pretty well.''" ({{STV|5|12}}) Piller also stated, "''I liked the idea of it and I liked what we did, but on the Altman scale I give it two and a half stars [out of 4 stars]. It didn't really deliver the goods. I liked the idea of going back and forth between the two time periods.''" (''[[Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages]]'', p. 136) * Jeri Taylor expressed enthusiasm over this episode's core idea – ''Voyager'' crew members having knowledge of a forthcoming disaster that they cannot stop. "''That just seemed like an irresistible kind of a premise,''" she remarked, also saying of the episode, "''It was just a compelling story with a high-concept idea that we couldn't resist.''" (''[[Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages]]'', p. 136) In addition, Taylor noted, "''{{'}}Time and Again' was a fascinating premise.''" (''[[Cinefantastique]]'', Vol. 27, No. 4/5, p. 34) * There was a general feeling of unhappiness concerning the episode's final form, however, mainly due to confusion over its plot. Jeri Taylor recalled, "''We weren't necessarily thrilled with the way it came out for a variety of reasons [...] The major dissatisfaction was that I don't think anybody knew what happened. The end was so confusing that most people said, 'Huh?' I don't think we did our most effective job. I think that was the script and not the production in selling exactly what happened.''" In agreement, Ken Biller remarked, "''I also think that to a lot of people the time anomaly was baffling.''" (''[[Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages]]'', p. 136) * Another complaint was the profusion of time travel stories in the relativity young series. Jeri Taylor stated, "''I [...] think this is the one where people have the response, 'Oh, another time-travel or screwing around with time story. Haven't we seen a lot of that?' We have gone to the well too many times with the time-travel thing, and I sort of wish that this episode would have been shown [[VOY Season 2|second season]].''" (''[[Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages]]'', p. 136) * This episode achieved a Nielsen rating of 8.8 million homes, and a 13% share. {{bl|voyagerview.com/review2.html}} * ''[[Cinefantastique]]'' gave this installment 3 out of 4 stars. (''Cinefantastique'', Vol. 27, No. 4/5, p. 34) * In their unofficial [[reference works|reference book]] ''[[Trek Navigator: The Ultimate Guide to the Entire Trek Saga]]'' (p. 242), co-writers [[Mark A. Altman]] and [[Edward Gross]] both individually rate this episode 2 out of 4 stars (defined as "mediocre"). * In the lead-up to this episode being released on VHS, {{STM}} reviewer Stuart Clark remarked about the installment, "''You are left in no doubt about Janeway's style of command – from the front!''" However, in the retrospective "Ultimate Guide" in {{STM|164|29}}, this episode was scored 1 out of 5 Starfleet-style arrowhead insignias, also naming it the "Worst Episode" of ''Voyager''{{'}}s first season. * The unauthorized reference book ''{{dis|Delta Quadrant|reference book}}'' (p. 19) gives the episode a rating of 7 out of 10. ===Video and DVD releases=== *UK VHS release (two-episode tapes, [[CIC Video]]): Volume 1.2, catalog number VHR 4002, {{d|10|July|1995}}. *As part of the [[VOY Season 1 DVD]] collection. ==Links and references== ===Main cast=== *[[Kate Mulgrew]] as {{Captain}} [[Kathryn Janeway]] === Also starring === *[[Robert Beltran]] as [[Commander]] [[Chakotay]] *[[Roxann Biggs-Dawson]] as [[Lieutenant]] [[B'Elanna Torres]] *[[Jennifer Lien]] as [[Kes]] *[[Robert Duncan McNeill]] as [[Lieutenant]] [[Tom Paris]] *[[Ethan Phillips]] as [[Neelix]] *[[Robert Picardo]] as [[The Doctor]] *[[Tim Russ]] as [[Lieutenant]] [[Tuvok]] *[[Garrett Wang]] as [[Ensign]] [[Harry Kim]] ===Guest stars=== *[[Nicolas Surovy]] as [[Pe'Nar Makull]] *[[Joel Polis]] as [[Ny Terla]] *[[Brady Bluhm]] as [[Latika]] ===Co-stars=== *[[Ryan MacDonald]] as a [[Makull's shopkeeper 001|Shopkeeper]] *[[Steve Vaught]] as an [[Makull's officer 001|Officer]] *[[Jerry Spicer]] as a [[Makull's guard 001|Guard]] === Uncredited co-stars === * [[Derek Anthony]] as [[USS Voyager ops ensign 001|operations ensign]] * [[Janet Dey]] as [[Makull's female 001|female townsperson]] * [[Tarik Ergin]] as [[Ayala]] * [[Gunnel Eriksson]] as [[USS Voyager ops officer 001|operations officer]] * [[Paul Ganus]] as [[Makull's associate 001|Makull's associate]] * [[Ken Gruz]] as [[Makull's male 001|male townsperson]] * [[Kerry Hoyt]] as {{dis|Fitzpatrick|Crewman}} * [[Dennis Madalone]] as [[Makull's guard 002|Guard]] * [[Jordan Monheim]] as [[USS Voyager sciences bridge officer 004|sciences officer]] * [[S.

The Bureau of Infectious Disease Control will now enter into an agreement with Scientific Technologies Corp., to get a system up and running in the next 12 months.
New Hampshire is about to lose the distinction of being the only state without a centralized immunization registry, as the Executive Council on Wednesday approved a $1.3 million contract with an Arizona company to get a registry up and running.
The Legislature in 1998 ordered the creation of a "single repository of accurate, complete and current immunization records to aid, coordinate and promote effective and cost-efficient disease prevention and control efforts." But the initiative was never funded, until the approval of the latest Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) budget, with the registry included.
"This has been a policy decision at DHHS, but with the consent of the Legislature, because of the dollars associated with it," said Health and Human Services Commissioner Nick Toumpas after the council's unanimous vote.
The Bureau of Infectious Disease Control will now enter into an agreement with Scientific Technologies Corp., of Scottsdale, Ariz., to get the system up and running in the next 12 months.
Information on vaccinations will be submitted to the registry by practitioners for all patients, except for those who opt out or whose guardians opt out for them.
Prior to the vote, Council or Chris Pappas, D-Manchester, said he had heard from constituents who were concerned about confidentiality and privacy protections.
Toumpas described security procedures that will be used to protect patient confidentiality. "Recognizing the type of data we are looking at, a significant number of provisions were put in to protect that data," he said, assuring councilors that information from the registry would not be shared with pharmaceutical companies, drug manufacturers or insurance companies.
Everyone who administers vaccinations will enter information into the system, but only designated DHHS personnel would have the passwords needed to access the information on an aggregate or individual basis.
Notices will be posted at locations where vaccinations are administered, advising patients of their right to opt out of the registry. Doctors can opt out of reporting to the registry, but DHHS does not expect many to do so.
"We're hoping close to 100 percent of our physicians will be participating," said Marcella Bobinsky, chief of the state's immunization program.
Massachusetts became the 49th state to adopt an online vaccination registry in 2011, leaving New Hampshire as the only state without one. Privacy concerns and funding have been the main impediments, said Toumpas. firstname.lastname@example.com

Roh Moo-hyun (Korean pronunciation: ) GOM GCB (1 September 1946 – 23 May 2009) was the 16th President of South Korea (2003–2008).
Roh's pre-presidential political career was focused on human rights advocacy for student activists in South Korea. His electoral career later expanded to a focus on overcoming regionalism in South Korean politics, culminating in his election to the presidency. The election was strongly influenced by activists on the Internet, and particularly via a internet news provider "OhmyNews" —the first time this had ever happened in Korea.
Roh's election was notable for the arrival to power of a new generation in Korean politics, the so-called 386 Generation, (i.e. people in their thirties when the term was coined, who had attended university in the 1980s, and who were born in the 1960s). This generation had been veterans of student protests against authoritarian rule, and advocated an assertively nationalist line towards the United States and Japan, and a conciliatory approach towards North Korea. They took up many positions on Roh's staff.

New Sports Projects in Morocco
After its emergence as a Projects Abroad destination last year, Morocco has been rapidly expanding in terms of volunteer numbers and placements! As of this month, we're beginning sports projects in and around Rabat, which is our base in the country.
Volunteers can work as sports coaches and assistants for various schools in the area. While soccer is the most popular sport in Morocco, we also have opportunities for those interested in basketball to get involved. We've been celebrating the success of our first volunteer on this placement who arrived earlier this month from the sunny skies of St. Louis.
We know the soccer and basketball teams around Rabat will greatly benefit from the help of our volunteers. Continue to keep an eye on this project and hopefully you'll be seeing the Michael Jordan's of Morocco emerging soon!

Hi everyone! I am taking some computer science classes, and have some questions for you guys:
this is some homework that I have, but I cant seem to find some of the errors?
// File: Errors.java
// Purpose: A program with lots of syntax errors
// Correct all of the errors (STUDY the program carefully!!)
#import java.util.Scanner;
public class errors
public static void main (String[] args)
String Name; / Name of the user
int number;
int numSq;
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print ("Enter your name, please: ")
Name = scan.nextInt();
System.out.print ("What is your favorite number?);
number = scan.nextInt();
numSq = number * number;
System.out.println (Name ", the square of your number is "
/************************************************** *************
//File: Paint.java
//Purpose: Determine how much paint is needed to paint the walls
//of a room given its length, width, and height
//************************************************** *************
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Paint
public static void main(String[] args)
final int COVERAGE = 350; //paint covers 350 sq ft/gal
//declare integers length, width, and height;
//declare double totalSqFt;
//declare double paintNeeded;
//declare and initialize Scanner object
//Prompt for and read in the length of the room
//Prompt for and read in the width of the room
//Prompt for and read in the height of the room
//Compute the total square feet to be painted--think
//about the dimensions of each wall
//Compute the amount of paint needed
//Print the length, width, and height of the room and the
//number of gallons of paint needed.
Save this file to your directory and do the following:
1. Fill in the missing statements (the comments tell you where to fill in) so that the program does what it is supposed to. Compile and run the program and correct any errors.
2. Suppose the room has doors and windows that don't need painting. Ask the user to enter the number of doors and number of windows in the room, and adjust the total square feet to be painted accordingly. Assume that each door is 20 square feet and each window is 15 square feet.
*****this is my first time using the scanner function so I am having some problems. I really dont even know where to start on the second problem. Thanks for your help!

Hi Everyone! I'm Amanda Castor from Material Girl Quilts and I am absolutely thrilled to share my first Moda Bake Shop project with you today.
I made this Pezzy Lattice Quilt for a very special teenage boy and am pleased with the way it turned out. I think the design works great with the Pezzy Prints, but can imagine it used with so many other Moda fabric lines.
1 – Layer cake (I used Pezzy Print by American Jane)
*3 yds for background (if less than 42″ wide you will need 3.5 yds) – (I used Moda Bella Silver)
*4 yds for backing – (I used Deck Chairs Stripe in Summer from the Salt Air line)
*½ yd binding
At least 66″ x 78″ batting
6 ½" square grid ruler
*For this quilt I chose to use only 30 of the layer cake squares (I knew he wouldn't want pink in his quilt and I didn't use brown by my choice). If you would like to use more squares, you will need to adjust the amount of background, backing and binding fabric as necessary. Using all 42 squares would give you a quilt with 12 blocks across and 14 rows total and the final size would be approx. 72″ x 84″.
All seams are ¼"
1) Select 30 layer cake squares and cut into four 2 ½" x 10″ strips each. This will result in 120 strips. I chose 3 squares of each color selected.
2) Cut 120 6″ squares from the background fabric.
3) Cut along one diagonal of each 6″ background square creating two backing triangles.
4) Each block will consist of one 2 ½" x 10″ strip and two background triangles.
5) Place one of the triangles RST (right-sides together) roughly centered onto the strip and stitch (to make this go quickly, I chain pieced the first triangle onto each strip before adding the second triangle)
6) Add the second triangle to the opposite side of the strip and chain piece as before.
7) Set your seams and press towards the backing fabric.
8) Place your 6 ½" square grid ruler on top of the blocks and square up, trimming away all excess fabric, leaving you with a 6 1/2″ block. **You should take your time with this step, the squaring up is key to having matching points when you piece the blocks together!!
9) Now lay out your blocks to determine your desired look. You can choose to have the corners start in an X or diamonds like mine. I chose to create "columns" of each color instead of a random pattern.
10) Once you have chosen your final layout design, sew each of your blocks together row by row until it is done. The key to achieving perfect points is also in the pinning. Match each seam as shown below before sewing each block together.
11) Layer with backing and batting and quilt as desired. I created a smaller "lattice" design on mine.
One 60″ x 72″ Pezzy Lattice quilt perfect for snuggling under.

By Liat Clark, Wired UK
How does David Blaine prepare in the days before being encircled by 1 million volts of electricity, emitted by seven Tesla coils, for 72 hours? Only by getting hit in the back of the head by said electric surge of course.
[partner id="wireduk"]
"So in the last rehearsal, the visor that they put into the helmet to protect my eyes from the UV electromagnetic radiation – which will cause corneal abrasions and possible blindness – was put in wrong," Blaine told Wired.co.uk, the night before the Electrified stunt's Oct. 5 launch at Pier 54 in New York. "So when I lowered it, it snapped on my nose drawing some blood, and then my head jolted backwards and touched the actual wired helmet, which is pretty exposed. The electricity arc hit me right in the head, almost knocking me out so we had to shut it all down." The jolt left a bloody mark, but no Harry Potter lightning bolt scar, sadly.
And what does it feel like to get sucker-punched by a Tesla coil? According to Blaine, "like somebody is punching you as hard as they can at the back of your head."
"Normally when I get electric shocks [an everyday hobby for us too, Blaine], it's usually some sort of magic trick and it's a shock. But this was different."
The stunt will be Blaine's reprisal of the endurance feats he's best known for, the last one being his 2009 Dressed for Dinner dive with great white sharks (for your day's bizarreness hit, check out this clip of Blaine puffing down on a Cuban while monsters from the deep circle him). From 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 5, the magician will stand atop a 6-meter-high platform, wearing a 12.25 kg chainmail Faraday bodysuit and helmet that conducts the electricity, thus protecting him from the volts. Aside from the visor, he'll also have noise-canceling headphones to protect him from the noise, a tube to suck water through and a catheter to urinate.
According to his doctor, Stuart Weiss, the main danger (aside from someone putting him in mortal danger by fitting the suit/helmet incorrectly again) will be exposure to the nitrous oxides produced by the plasma (generated by the electricity separating electrons and positive ions in the air). He does, however, also have a ventilation system, so he should always be breathing fresh oxygen. So, really, since all possible dangers have been taken care of, what it comes down to is: Can he stand still for 72 hours?
"Part of it is actually what you're saying – standing in one place without sleeping, no food, wearing 27 pounds of chainmail and trying to make it through that," Blaine told Wired.co.uk. "The other part is that it's an environment we normally shouldn't be in. It's like when I did the dive with great white sharks – you're in this part of nature where you don't belong, and the brain sends signals saying you shouldn't be here. But, at the same time, it's beautiful and intimidating. Anybody can do these things – it's just for how long.
"It would be really effective as torture – keeping somebody awake for 72 hours, extremely loud noise, extremely bright lights breaking the circadian rhythm, plus standing on a small pillar, plus no food. Psychologically you have to override something to get through it, but we all could."
Beyond the spectacle and drama of it all, the project stems from Blaine's desire to instill the pure sense of wonder, fascination and curiosity that science and art instilled in him as a child.
"My mother was a teacher and when she wanted to show me art and literature and science, she'd take me to museums, parks and free exhibitions. That's what I like about doing things in New York – you give it for free and then kids can come and see it like I did.
"I used to go to Coney Island and see somebody doing something that was unexplainable or unique, and I would wonder about it, which led me to find people like P.T. Barnum and Houdini. In a strange way, I'm trying to recreate that same thing that made me imagine or wonder as a little boy. Somebody who wants to see something different, interesting, scientific or mystifying can come look and then ask questions – research is so easy on the internet, now you can find out what a Tesla coil is, alternating currents, a Faraday suit."
This is where the coil's inventor, Nikola Tesla, comes in – Blaine describes him as a "Ben Franklin kind of a guy" who "created reality out of impossible ideas and invented things that people thought would never exist".
Tesla had been on Blaine's mind for a while, appearing on a postercommemorating a decade of his endurance feats along with four other historical figures he admires.
"He was always in the background, I just wasn't sure what to do. I started thinking about ways to create something that was similar to that plasma ball I loved when I was a kid, where the electricity goes to my finger when I touch it. So I decided to make a big version using seven Tesla coils around the perimeter of the sphere, then they would shoot into the middle."
Blaine refers to Tesla as an "artist/inventor/magician." It's this same crossover between science, art and magic in Blaine's endurance feats that explains his fascination for them and his idea of how they fit into a magician's repertoire. He says, as far as he knows, no one really does endurance spectacles, comparing it to Houdini's introduction of the escape routine as a new form of magic.
"There's another part of me that likes to do things that are real, I like the endurance angle. As a kid I used to hold my breath longer than anybody else, and then I heard stories about people accidentally underwater for 45 minutes – how do you recover from that? It's not a miracle. Something allows us to survive. Then I found free divers were actually doing eight minutes. Something like that feels like real magic – but there's no deception to it, it's just learning the formula to how to make it possible."
Blaine says most magicians he knows like the "maths, science and logic side of things" and, for him, on top of this, it is of course the crowd's reaction he enjoys most.
He might regret this come the event kickoff. The public will be able to control the sound and light intensity of the Tesla coils via laptops set up at the pier – Electrified is a collaboration with Intel, and the coil frequency and current is controlled via their Ultrabooks.
Control stations will also be setup in Beijing, Tokyo, Sydney and London (at the Truman Brewery from 7 p.m. on Oct. 6). Blaine says he's "prepared for as much and as little people want to give," and if singer Andrew WK's words are anything to go by, everyone will be cranking it up to full. "I'm absolutely electrified and terrified by the opportunity to play a keyboard solo with so much energy, and to use this incredibly powerful device to send a musical surge through David's brain," WK told Rolling Stone. The musician will be controlling the coils via his music on Oct. 7. "I just hope he can withstand my high-powered party piano playing."
The public can also tweet Blaine messages, which he says he'll try to answer (presumably he'll be fed the messages via headphones and have a microphone). Apparently the coil intensity can be increased the more people tweet #Electrified, and "special features" will be unlocked after 10,000 uses. We're hoping that means we can control the platform stability.
If Tesla coils don't rock your boat, join us in speculating what his next feats will entail. Blaine told Wired.co.uk to check out the four other historical figures featured on his poster for clues: Steve Brodie, Hadji Ali, Harry Houdini and Chan Canasta. Now, one of these figures supposedly threw themselves off Brooklyn Bridge in the 1880s and survived, and another was best known for swallowing foreign objects and regurgitating them in an order chosen by the audience. We know which one we'd like to see, and he also went down in the history books for swallowing kerosene and water before acting like a human flamethrower and fire extinguisher, respectively. Fantastic.

How to Put Your Tax Refund to Good Use
Consider these five smart ways to spend the money.
I'm anxiously awaiting my tax refund. Do you have any suggestions for smart ways to use this annual windfall?
Extra cash is still hard to come by, so it's important to start thinking about good uses for your tax-refund money before the check comes in. The following strategies can stretch your refund and help improve your financial situation for the rest of the year -- and even longer.
Pay down high-interest credit-card debt. Credit-card interest rates continue to be high, and paying off high-interest cards should be a top priority -- after you stop having to pay so much money in interest every month, you'll have more cash to devote to the rest of your financial goals. Paying off high-interest cards can be one of the best investments you can make right now -- using your refund to pay off a balance with an 18% interest rate is like earning 18% on your investments.

Build up your emergency fund. It's essential to have extra cash on hand so you don't land in high-interest debt when you have unexpected expenses. Many folks who relied on a home-equity line of credit as an emergency fund in the past must find another source of money as housing values shrink and lenders cut back on credit lines. Try to keep at least six months' worth of essential expenses in an easily accessible money-market account or savings account; keep the money separate from your regular checking account so that you aren't tempted to raid the funds for everyday expenses. Your tax refund can be a great source of extra cash to bolster your emergency fund -- or refill it, if you had to tap the money during the tough economic times over the past few years. See our How Much Should I Set Aside for Emergencies? calculator for help deciding how much money to keep in the account.
Save for retirement. You have until April 18, 2011, to contribute up to $5,000 to an IRA for 2010 (or $6,000 if age 50 or older by the end of 2010). If your modified adjusted gross income is $122,000 or less if you're single, or $177,000 or less if you're married filing jointly, then you can contribute to a Roth IRA for 2010, which lets you withdraw the money tax-free in retirement. See Get the Most Out of Your Retirement Accounts for more information about the Roth contribution and income limits for 2010 and 2011.
But even if you earn too much for a Roth, you can still contribute to a nondeductible traditional IRA, then immediately convert it to a Roth. See Back Door to a Roth IRA for more information. And if you've already made your 2010 contribution, you can use your refund to start making 2011 contributions and add more money throughout the year (the contribution limits are the same for 2011 as they were in 2010).
Save for your kids' college. If you have your retirement savings under control, consider funneling your tax refund into your kids' (or grandkids') college fund. Money in a 529 account can be used tax-free for college costs, and you may even get a state income-tax break for your contribution. See Give the Gift of a 529 Plan Contribution for more information about the tax breaks, and The Top College Savings Plans for our favorite 529 plans.
Help your kids open a Roth IRA. For the biggest future bang-for-your-buck, use your refund money to help your kids open a Roth IRA. The money can grow tax-free for decades, and they can withdraw the contributions at any time without penalties or taxes. There's no minimum age requirement for opening a Roth, but your child must have earned income to qualify. They can contribute up to the amount of their earned income for the year or $5,000, whichever is lower. See Roth IRAs for Kids for more information about the rules for kids' IRAs and which fund companies and brokerage firms offer good deals.
SEE OUR SLIDE SHOW for more smart ways to use your refund.
Finally, even though it might seem nice to get a refund, it actually means that you were giving the government an interest-free loan for the year. Use our tax withholding calculator to determine whether you can adjust your tax withholding and get more money in every paycheck starting right away. See How to Adjust Your Tax Withholding for more information.

Each and every New Zealander has varied living needs and many budding ideas and dreams about what their home should look and feel like. Opportunely Smith and Son's Renovations and Extensions, also has a plethora of experience creating unique living and dwelling spaces and is ready to meet the expectations of each and every client.
Extending your home involves adding space to your property if you have available land adjacent to your home. When you feel like you're already outgrowing your present home and you need new bedrooms for your children or perhaps a home office, getting a house extension is a great choice. Instead of moving to a new property, you can choose to extend and modify your home to make it more spacious and more comfortable.
Why Choose to Extend?
Building a home extension has various advantages. Here are the most common reasons why homeowners choose to get a home extension rather than move into a new place.
1. Stay at your current dwelling and avoid the hassles of moving out.
Moving out is an arduous process that takes much time and effort. It can also be expensive, especially if you're planning to move to a far location. When you get a home extension, you don't need to move out and find a new place to stay. You can create an additional area that suits your needs and incorporate new features suitable for your property. Compared to buying or building a new home altogether, extending a house is less laborious and less costly. This is a great option if your house really is your dream home but you simply need more space!
2. Add value to your property.
Aside from gaining a larger living space, your home's value will also considerably increase. This is a great benefit, especially if you're planning to sell your home in the future. An extension that's designed and built to high standards will certainly add value to your property. It's best that you consult a reputable builder to seek help in designing, planning, building and furnishing the additional room. Talk to your builder to get an initial project estimate before embarking on an extension project.
3. Control the design.
You'll be in full control of the look and feel of your home extension. Whether you want to combine existing space with the extension or convert a room, deciding on the overall size, shape, layout and finishes is in your hands. You can choose the type of flooring, color of the paint and various other elements at the design stage.
What Can I Extend?
Home extensions can be done according to your preferences. Here are several types of home extensions:
Getting a House Extension Vs. Buying a Larger Home: Which is More Cost-effective?
There are numerous costs, preparations and requirements needed to buy and move into a larger home. You'll have to sell your current property, and find a buyer on your own or hire a real estate agent whose fees can be quite expensive. Moving is another lengthy and strenuous process that requires much time, effort and money. On the whole, buying a new home can be an incredibly time-consuming and stressful process.
On the other hand, adding an extension is a cheaper alternative that lets you bypass the numerous associated fees with home buying and moving out. You'll be able to monitor the building process as it takes place right on your property, ensuring that the new space is designed according to what you want. If you have available land and you want to create space, then adding a house extension is a more cost-effective option.
Not only do Smith and Son's have years of experience renovating houses into dream homes, they also boast highly skilled project managers, designers and tradesmen who ensure the 'home renovation' is completed on time, to budget and is an enjoyable experience for you
