Blitzboks scrape through in Dubai
3 Dec 2010
The Springbok Sevens have advanced to the Cup play-offs on points difference at the Dubai Sevens, despite losing 19-14 against Australia in their final pool match .
Nothing seems to have improved since the Blitzboks' poor 2009-2010 campaign, which saw them finish sixth with only 80 points. The Blitzboks finished day one at the opening tournament poorly as they suffered a 19-14 defeat against Australia after their 19-10 win against Russia and a lucky 19-19 draw against Scotland. The good news is they still finish second in Pool C ahead of Scotland with a better points difference of four compared to the latter's negative 11.
However, judging their last performance, Paul Treu's charges will need to make a major step up on day two as they will face Fiji in their Cup quarter-final tie – a side they failed to beat in the Cup play-offs last season.
In their defeat against Australia, they scored the opening try as star player of the day, Cecil Afrika dotted down in the second minute. But from there, the Australians gained the ascendancy as they put together a 19-point blitz to seal the match. South Africa added some respectability to the score with a late try through Afrika, who grabbed his fourth try of the day.
Earlier in the day, the Blitzboks were saved by Andrew Skeen's missed conversion in injury time as they hung on for a draw. Disappointing for the South Africa as they had a strong start to the match. Skipper Kyle Brown grabbed an early brace before Fraser Harkness touched down late for the Scots. The Blitzboks led 12-7 at half-time.
Afrika gave South Africa a 14-point advantage moments after the restart as he finished a good piece of attacking play. But then the Blitzboks crumbled.
The Scots managed to expose the South Africa's defence with two chip aheads, which saw Dougie Fife break away to make it a seven-point game. Then in the dying seconds, Scotland scored a late try despite a courageous defensive display from the Blitzboks. Skeen's conversion attempt hit the post, which would've secured victory for Scotland.
In their first Pool C match against Russia, South Africa won 19-10. Again, Afrika was the star for the Blitzboks as he scored seven points and set up Bernado Botha's try for the win. Skipper Kyle Brown also crossed the chalk while veteran Renfred Dazel produced an impressive performance.
After the opening try thanks to some individual brilliance from Afrika, the South Africans struggled against Russia for the rest of the first half. They failed to build much momentum on attack while their defence was poor. Russia hit back through Nikolay Goroshilov to see the half-time score read 7-5.
The Blitzboks moved up a gear after the break and two tries through Botha and Brown in quick succession put the South Africans in a comfort zone. Russia scored a late try, but it only added respectability to the score.
In other results, Samoa, New Zealand, Australia and Fiji topped their groups while Wales, USA, and England finished second to qualify for the Cup play-offs.

3 Dec 2010, 10:35 amHmm … not the most promising of starts.
3 Dec 2010, 11:42 am@Staal : At least it's a real sport, not like synchronised swimming or rhythmic gymnastics or other such fruity stunts.
3 Dec 2010, 11:43 amAustralia 41-14, New Zealand 31 -7 Against USA, Fiji 31-1 against Portugal….SA 19-10 against Russia, the weakest of all the opposition teams compared to the other top countries have played against. SOMETHING IS WRONG HERE!!!!, This Bok side is a fully Professional team with big bucks contracts and they have simply NOT performed over the last 12 months plus!!! But dear nice guy Paul True, like his mate PDiv, supposedly walk on water so they are untouchable. PUKE!!!!!!!!! Watch at 13h00 when Australia put 30 past us, anyone prepared to bet against me!!!
3 Dec 2010, 12:42 pm@Staal : #6 Don't be so sure. The Bok backline will be much better after having thier skills honed in 7′s training. Why do you think our backline players cannot run at pace and pass at the same time?
3 Dec 2010, 13:59 pmwhat a bunch of woesies. No wonder most of them never make it in 15 man rugby. Just drew pathetically to Scotland. No passion yet again. Just a bunch of wannabe´s prancing around the field.
I´m betting Australia put more than 30 past this bunch of palookas. Jeezus, talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel. -
3 Dec 2010, 14:01 pmI think it takes a certain person to like 7´s. Someone who likes wasting their team getting dressed up like a bee and buzzing around with his mates while having shandies and spritzers.
3 Dec 2010, 14:11 pmForce into stalemate??? hahahaha – Boks did that to themselves. Lame defence, no strong attack, no support and no muscle.
3 Dec 2010, 15:29 pmAustralia beat Scotland 41-14. They are going to slaughter the Blitzboks.
3 Dec 2010, 17:52 pmlameasses are losing again.
4 Dec 2010, 07:38 amwhen is Coach True's replacement coming? Paul True has been coaching the 7′s without any – none – zip – improvement. What a nice job – no worries about performance – I love this system!
6 Dec 2010, 23:27 pmMy apologies to Paul True.
I have just watched the replay betweent the Boks and Fiji and the cancer that lives in certain rugby quarters lives in the 7′s game too.
The aussie ref between Fiji and South Africa was as poor as Dicko baltant biased in the Scotland game.
The cheating Juan Smith kinda penalties by Dicko happened in this game too. Blitzbokke were beating the Fijians, but like the Fifa corruption this cancer is here too.
Shame really that certain quarters believe rugby is their domain.
Maybe Skopnot is not that mad after all -

Focus: 2011 global survey of health care consumersConsumer attitudes, behaviors, and unmet needs |
The rising health care cost coupled with the current state of the economy have prompted many consumers across the globe to delay care, alter household spending, and worry about their ability to pay for future health care costs, according to the 2011 U.S. and Global Survey of Health Care Consumers.
Since 2008, the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions has conducted its annual survey of health care consumers to assess their behaviors, attitudes and unmet needs, and to quantify year-to-year changes. A new trend that emerged this year suggests that the economic uncertainty has clearly altered spending habits with many consumers reporting an impact on their out-of-pocket health care expenses. More than half of all respondents from the 12 countries surveyed, with the exception of the United Kingdom (24 percent) and Canada (39 percent), reported household spending on health care limits their ability to spend on other household essentials. Explore the research findings below, and check back in coming weeks for individual country reports.

His post games are the most ridiculous things i've ever heard. He talks in circles and never really says anything that matters.
What do you mean we play players there is no need to evaluate. Bynum played 15 mins. Aaron played 20 mins and Stuck played 35 minutes. Who else is there to evaluate?
Besides Rose del Negro has got via trade several solid players, who can do it the most typical NBA way - on their own. Pistons OTOH has only stuckey who time to time is capable of scoring on isos. ( bynum too, but he is behind of stuckey in terms of minutes) Rest of Pistons, to be successful, need heavy supporting cast. Don forget that chitown was pretty miserable before they got some all around players.
Distance and Pistonfan, I totally agree. Sheed and Dyss are now back-up players who are starters because nobody else can fill their role on the team. Lpgrl, the playoffs shows who can step it up to another level. Stuckey showed that he at least belongs. At least today. He may not be the answer but with a bit better shot, some smarts on his drives, etc. he might be fine. Anyway, we did not lose in the Stuckey over Billips department. We have no big man play to speak of. Afflalo, after a shaky start, competed at the level. You need to know that to evaluate your guys. I want Amir to play so that we can really see what he has.
I held a little hope that the Pistons would at least put up a fight. It's just not there. These guys are just putting in their time until summer vacation. Wish I had the skills to put together a 'gone fishin' pic.
Absolutely. I am beyond sick of the guy. I hope he is the first of the veterans to be traded away. I bet there are people out there that still think he is good and has upside.
Stuckey scored 20 points on 21 shots... that's horrrible. And he didn't set up his teammates (what a shocker). He had a horrible game, once again he couldn't finish around the rim to save his life.
If today's game was a snippet of how the series will go, then there is no point watching. The score was not indicative of how easy the Cavs smoked the Pistons. Will they even win a game? This team is now in full re-build mode. Tay laid a stinker in this game, 1 frickin rebound and 4 pts. Really folks, is there one untradeable asset on this roster?
I wanna still believe that he can be good. But, right now, he is not making me a believer at all. Chicago was SO DAMN LUCKY to win the draft lottery last year and getting Rose. They were lucky with MJ, now this...
There's only 2 vets to trade and I wouldn't trade either one of them right now. I'm not a big Tay fan but we don't have a serviceable backup 3, much less someone to step in to start. We have bigger problems at PF & C.
2 tough, I thought Stuckey did damage taking the ball to the hoop and he took the jumper when it presented itself. The offense scored well enough. Stuckey still gets himself into trouble driving and he doesn't get the call from the refs. But with adjustment on his drives and a better jumper (should improve), he stepped up to the big stage just fine. He didn't shrivel up. His drop off was not much from Billips. But the Piston defense, in contrast, was awful. And watch what we are getting from Sheed and Dyss and compare that to the past. Not even close. And imagine the young bigs playing 30 some minutes today in their place. How many points would we have scored? And how much better would the defense AND rebounding be? A bit better. Joe is watching with a pile of money in place. I think he might go after two bigs. I might even guaransheed that. Watch for it in July. Should be fun then. Not fun now, but necessary. Then, next year, we can worry about Curry or not.
Bynum played mostly GT. He got very little significant minutes. Aaron played yes, but that was basically it. Stuckey has been playing significant minutes all year. Amir got none outside of GT as did Hermann. It is likely that only one of those will ever see any important minutes. The problem mainly lies with the fact the starters are still averaging too many minutes and they will play all the "important' minutes. I disagree. He struggled mightily today and looked in over his head. ---- You and me both.
This game was nothing short of ugly. Oh, and I'm getting rid of this Tay avatar..he was horrible today.
I don't even care. It's going to be awhile before we're good again. I just don't want to be watching Prince stink out the joint anymore. Let us suck with someone else... someone that actually cares.

Here's the build - the Symbol of Turning+the illegal 2nd Cleric MC represent that she has a +3 Orb of Light, a non-scaling artifact in regular D&D, but an auto-scaling relic in LFR. But human, 12th level, MC'd into Shaman, and picked up Mending Spirit.The major problem is that I'm very feat constrained and the two feats spent to get Mending Spirit are expensive. Race, Paragon Path, Theme, Stats, and Classes are locked(either by choice or by LFR rules), but almost anything else can change.

Yes, Swift Recovery is interesting, but it has the problem of using up a combat resource. If I'm the leader and we're having a dying problem, I don't significantly increase the odds of us not dying.Melee touch and close burst are very interesting options btw as I can make the power appear where my dream form is rather than I actually needing to be there. I've kind of considered Word of Vigor as a power swap for that reason.

What Should Happen With Lance Armstrong Now?
Lance Armstrong was stripped of his Tour de France titles for taking performance enhancement drugs. He continued, however, to protest his innocence. He is now reportedly confessing that he did, in fact, dope in order to win.
Several media outlets are quoting an AP source that claims seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong has now confessed to Oprah that he did in fact take performance enhancing drugs to win the Tour de France.
Armstrong was stripped of all his titles last year despite vehemently protesting his innocence all the way through, tweeting the following statement just prior to losing his titles:
I have been notified that USADA, an organization largely funded by taxpayer dollars but governed only by self-written rules, intends to again dredge up discredited allegations dating back more than 16 years to prevent me from competing as a triathlete and try and strip me of the seven Tour de France victories I earned. These are the very same charges and the same witnesses that the Justice Department chose not to pursue after a two-year investigation. These charges are baseless, motivated by spite and advanced through testimony bought and paid for by promises of anonymity and immunity. Although USADA alleges a wide-ranging conspiracy extended over more than 16 years, I am the only athlete it has chosen to charge. USADA's malice, its methods, its star-chamber practices, and its decision to punish first and adjudicate later all are at odds with our ideals of fairness and fair play.
I have never doped, and, unlike many of my accusers, I have competed as an endurance athlete for 25 years with no spike in performance, passed more than 500 drug tests and never failed one. That USADA ignores this fundamental distinction and charges me instead of the admitted dopers says far more about USADA, its lack of fairness and this vendetta than it does about my guilt or innocence.
Armstrong enjoyed widespread public support prior to losing his titles. When Patch readers were asked then, the consensus appeared to be that it was a witch hunt and the matter should be dropped. Even after he was stripped of his titles, many readers thought it was unfair.
So if he has indeed now admitted that all that was a lie and he did in fact participate in doping, what do you think should happen to him? Should he face perjury charges and should he refund prize money and endorsement payments?

Lance Armstrong should be banished to the same island of misfit toys where Pete Rose currently resides. And his apology to the Livestrong staff should be circular filed.
He practiced a scorched earth policy against anyone who spoke the truth about the pervasiveness of PED's in his sport. http://t.co/w3Cgwoa1
To paraphrase Ronald Reagan's Labor Secretary, Ray Donovan, where do all those people go to get their reputations restored after they were crushed by Armstrong?

I have always thought that Lance Armstrong was guilty of doping. His consistent denials only showed me that he went to unbelievable lengths to pass drug tests and to win at any cost. He had really hoped that he would be able to weather this out with having passed 500 drug tests, but the truth always comes out. Now that he is no longer on top, and has lost endorsements, etc., his ego cannot stand to be ignored and not have the attention it has had for so long. All I can say is yes, he should face perjury charges as he had a million and one times to come clean. Yes, strip him of all prize money and endorsement payments. This may sound harsh, but he really thought he could get away with one of the biggest scams in cycling and in sports. Hope he just quietly goes away. Him and his huge ego.

He was so steadfast in his denials, I was sure he was telling the truth. He has no conscience. Of course, he's going to be asked to pay back the money, but he's going to file bankruptcy and get away with it. He's a disgrace.
10:55 am on Wednesday, January 16, 2013
I feel sorry for a person so obsessed with his own success that he's able to con himself into believing he'd never get caught. Of course he should give back every dime and admit to everything under oath. This isn't just about humiliation though, even if that is important, it's also about the fact that he stole that money, those prizes, and the celebration AT THE TIME OF THE RACE that the REAL winner would've been able to experience; you can't get that moment back and there are enough of them that I suspect a class action suit should ensue to further drive home the example of this kind of behavior. Shame on Lance for thinking this wasn't going to catch up with him. Shame on him for thinking it was okay to do it in the first place.

I don't plan to watch him try to explain, apologize, or whatever he will be doing with Oprah. He has lied for years.They should continue to go after him.

Judge not lest ye be judged yourself. Let the that is free of sin cast the first stone. If you think for one second that The United States Postal Team just happened to be the ONLY team on this world stage to be involved in this type of program, YOU are incredibly naive. The US Government (under Obama, mind you) looked at the same evidence he was charged with by USADA and cleared him. A seven time, US, successful, charismatic, director of a foundation that's put wristbands on 30% of the most targeted country in the world in jealousy and hate seems to be a easy tower to tear down. With so much money and advertising capital paid to teams to be victorious in almost every professional sport I could not imagine the incredible pressure each athlete is under to win. Most athletes know how the game they participate in is played not the game of science and medical performance enhancement.

Michael, You are the one who is naive. Read "The Sociopath Next Door" by Dr. Martha Stout, and you will see that Lance Armstrong fits the description of a narcissistic, manipulative, and controlling bully. Sociopaths have no empathy for others. They only care about winning their game and destroying their opponents, whether it's in sports, business, religion, politics, or ruining their families. His apology is meaningless as he does it only to gain some future advantage for himself. He is incapable of remorse. The fact that others in his sport were doping did not absolve him of his own responsibility to abide by the cycling rules and the law. He defrauded the USPS and Nike and many others, and he should be prosecuted, sued, incarcerated and made to repay the millions he swindled out of others. If we 'judge' that Lance is a wrongdoer, it's because he admitted his actions, which were unethical immoral, and illegal. Lance Armstrong is a slimy and repugnant worm, not worthy of our respect, or pity for that matter.

Bloodred Hatred
After many, many months, the US is finally treated to the newest album by Danish thrashers Hatesphere, thanks to their signing with Century Media. Since hearing it, I'm pretty disappointed that nobody picked up on this band much earlier. Bloodred Hatred is an exhibition of the newer style of thrash: not the riff-laden monsters of a Destruction or Dark Angel album, but the chunkier, slightly more melodic style like The Haunted and The Crown. Although, compared to those bands, Hatesphere is a little less virulent, and packs more groove and melodicized leads/solos into their songs. Ultimately, Bloodred Hatred is an enjoyable listen that isn't the most original record on the shelf, but it is a definite headbanger - and isn't that what it's all about? The production gets the job done and fits the mood of the music well. If it were a loud and abrasive job like on Dew-Scented's Inwards, it would just feel overemphasized. I also like how they put a little more volume into the solos and assorted high-note leads. The guitar duo of Peter Hansen and Ziggy impressed me with their flair for adding the melodic touches between all of the fine thrash riffs. Morten Hansen's drum work supports the guitars perfectly, without being very flashy and show stopping, while the vocals of Bredahl are like diet screams - almost discernible, but with just a bit of harshness. Excluding the standard intro track, the album stands at eight actual songs, along with two older tracks added for this round of releases. Believer is one of the standouts with a vicious beginning complete with some pummeling drumming before downshifting for the duration of the song. The adept soloing lets you know right from the first song that this album has a bit more than you'd first expect. Insanity Arise is more of a traditional thrasher - fast, fast, and fast - only broken by a random little clean voice/synth-backed jaunt in the middle. Plague, while far too short, has some fine, relentless riffage, particularly at 0:22. Kicking Ahead is more typical for this sub-genre, with a main riff that demands foot-stomping, headbanging participation at home. Bottom line: Hatesphere is an up-and-coming band with a great deal of potential. They've got a nice sound carved out for themselves with this melodic take on Swedish thrash, but some of songs could be a little stronger, and there should be more songs in general. Unless you're writing Opeth-length tracks, I like 10 +, but I'm also greedy when it comes to metal. This album has been long overdue in the US. Go ahead and work those neck muscles to Bloodred Hatred, it's good for you.

Republicans weren't easy to find but they were among the estimated 800,000 people to turn out for President Barack Obama's second inauguration Monday.
"Ultimately, this is about the country, our nation," said Delia Jennings, a West Virginia native who voted for Mitt Romney. "I can't change it, so I might as well be a part of it. You look at all the people stretching back all the way to the Washington Monument, I mean how can you not want to be a part of this?"
Jennings attended the ceremony with a friend, Victor Parker, who is a Democrat. Normally, the two chat about the government, among other things, but not at the inauguration.
"We're not talking politics today," Parker said.
Plenty of GOP members skipped the inauguration by getting out of Washington, D.C., altogether.
Charlie Spies, a prominent Republican lawyer based in the District, organized a trip to Las Vegas for nearly 100 Republicans.
The group is relaxing at the Wynn resort and going steakhouse-hopping.
"The trip is going great," Spies said in an email Sunday night.
Back at the inauguration, a few rows from the presidential lectern, Arlington resident Louise Buchanan laughed at the question of whether she voted for Romney.
"I salute the Republicans who are here," Buchanan said. "That's how it should be." Continued...
But Buchanan, a strong Obama supporter and lifelong Democrat, knows what it's like to be at the inauguration she too wants to see elected.
In 1989, she sang in the Congressional chorus on stage at President George H.W. Bush's swearing-in.
"It was a thrill to be here at all," Buchanan said. "We really weren't that focused on who the incoming president was. I just have such strong respect for the office of the presidency."
Some Republicans at Obama's inauguration shared that same sense of respect.
Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., who would have been vice president had Romney been elected, told reporters last week, "it's my obligation" to attend.
One of Obama's more high-profile political rivals, House Speaker John Boehner, planned to attend a tea at the White House and a post-inauguration Congresisonal lunch at the Capitol, according to spokesman Brendan Buck.
"You want to know what I'm doing inauguration day?" said a man who answered a phone in Boehner's office. "I'm working."

"We are very happy," said Elizabeth Rimbault, secretary of Friends of Roswell Butler House after it was announced the group had acquired the house, which is located at 815 First St.
The organization plans to fully restore the building over an estimated seven years. It will be used for cultural and public education programs, serve as the mayor's ceremonial office and can be used for free by the city and Antioch Unified School District.
Under the plan, the organization must restore the building, which currently sits behind a fence in uninhabitable condition. According to two appraisers, the building has negligible value to the city given the costs to restore a historical property. At the time it was built, the two-story brick house was one of the costliest in the county.
If the nonprofit were to dissolve or the restoration is not complete in seven years, the city can take back the property for no compensation. Any profit from the house would then be transferred to another nonprofit with a similar mission statement to continue the renovation process.
Since its creation in 2009 by the Antioch Historical Society, Friends of Roswell Butler House has been engaged in talks about acquiring the property. Its distinction as a nonprofit organization allows it to apply for state and federal historic preservation grants and be eligible for tax deductions.
According to Rimbault, the organization has received donations of cash and promises of future donations from those eager to see the building repaired. In addition, a licensed contractor has volunteered to remove a back portion of the building that needs to be demolished.
"This is the history of our community," Rimbault said. "People are excited about this project."
Early plans call for the house to display items that chronicle the early years of Antioch and the Roswell Butler House. Exhibits and festivities could also be held.
The nonprofit currently has $3,000 in its bank account, said Rimbault, and between $1,000 and $1,500 slated to come in.
The house was purchased by the city's redevelopment agency for historic preservation with the Lynn House property in 1979. The Lynn House was restored first and now serves as an art gallery, while the Butler House has remained untouched due to the city's financial woes. It was placed on the State and Federal Registry of Historic Sites in 1993.
The last person to enter the building was an Antioch police officer who departed covered in dust when the floor caved in as he checked the residence during a reported robbery.
Despite the building's condition, Antioch Mayor Jim Davis expressed confidence in the ability of Friends of Roswell Butler House to restore the landmark. Following Rimbault's presentation of plans for the house, Davis smiled and said, "This building is worth saving."

Expedit sewing/crafting/cutting table
Materials: Expedit 4x2 units, Vika Amon tabletop, Ribba picture ledge
Description: This is a cutting table for craft and sewing projects. The base is two Ikea Expedit units (4x2) that I put on their sides and connected together. To connect them together I used the brackets that come with the Expedits that are meant to connect them to the wall.
Then I attached Besta 4 inch legs (10 of them total - 5 on each Expedit) to the bottom to give the table more height (so it would be closer to counter height). This allows for the right height to cut without hunching over.
The tabletop is the Vika Amon tabletop (the one that is 59 x 29.5). I covered it in a layer of quilt batting and then fabric (the padding makes it better for ironing directly on the table). The tabletop is connected to the Expedits with L brackets from the hardware store.
On the long edge of one side of the table are two Ribba picture ledges that I cut to the right size and connected (they are screwed into the Expedit). I'm using the picture ledges to keep rulers, pencils and other tools organized. The other nice thing about attaching the Ribba is that the two Expedit units connected are wider than the tabletop. The Ribba gives it extra width to that the tabletop overhangs slightly on the other side, which looks more attractive. In addition, the overhang allowed the use of L brackets to attach the tabletop to the Expedit units.
When attaching the Ribba, I aligned them flush with the Expedit in the event I rearrange my sewing room and I want to put the table against a wall (of course, in that case, I lose access to the eight cubes on that side, but it's an option this way).

What?! Ok, this is now my favorite website... :D
The best part about IKEA is that there stuff is so easy to put together.
The worst part about IKEA is that all of your friends have the same bookshelf as you.
Now you can switch it up for the same price. What a cool idea for a website... glad I found it! :)

You could put casters on it and swing it against the wall maybe? half craft center, half dining room sideboard, with a lovely matching tablecloth over it to hide the padded ironing surface. :)
I'm looking for ways to cut my table and glad I found this post. It was such a big help!

"Only Qo'noS endures".
- - Klingon death chant (DS9: "Tears of the Prophets")
Qo'noS (transliterated to Kronos in English) was a planet in the Klingon system, homeworld of the warp capable Klingon species, and the capital of the Klingon Empire.
Contents |
Astronomical dataEdit
Using the Vulcan star charts, Qo'noS was first visited by Humans in 2151. It was about four days away from Sol at warp 4.5. (ENT: "Broken Bow") The coordinates of the planet were 43.89.26.05. (Star Trek Into Darkness)
Further informationEdit
- Main article: Klingon history
Qo'noS was the homeworld of the Klingons and the capital world of the Klingon Empire, and housed the Klingon High Council and other important institutions.
Qo'noS had achieved interstellar travel capability around the time of Kahless in the 9th century. Warp capability was achieved some time after 1947 and warp 6 had been achieved some time before 2152. (TNG: "Rightful Heir"; DS9: "Little Green Men"; VOY: "Day of Honor"; ENT: "Judgment")
In 2293, the Klingon moon of Praxis, a key energy-production facility for the Klingon Empire, exploded after an accident involving over-mining which sent out a subspace shock wave, causing severe damage to the planet's ozone layer. This event forced planning for the evacuation of the planet and led to the signing of the First Khitomer Accord with the Federation. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)
Qo'noS joined the Federation at some point between 2327 and 2365. (TNG: "Samaritan Snare") The Treaty of Alliance was signed by both parties. (TNG: "Sarek")
One region on Qo'nos was the Ketha lowlands, which were dominated by agricultural usage and was the birthplace of Chancellor Martok. (DS9: "Once More Unto the Breach")

Background information Edit
Warning! This section may contain spoilers for new Star Trek material. |
The depiction of the Klingon capital, as seen in "Broken Bow", was visualized using a matte painting done by Illusion Arts, Inc.. (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 2, Issue 10, p. 30)
For the planet's appearance in Star Trek Into Darkness, the filmmakers were inspired by Pripyat, the city abandoned due to the Chernobyl disaster that inspired Praxis in The Undiscovered Country. When asked if the damaged moon seen in the film was Praxis, Roberto Orci declined to comment. [3] Production designer Scott Chambliss took classical influence for the buildings in the Ketha Province. "The quadrant of the city where the action takes place is sort of an interpretation of the Roman Colosseum, the warrens below the Colosseum floor," he said. [4]
The visual effects team led by Ben Grossman developed the rest of its appearance, developing a toxic atmosphere from which the D4 class ships could appear from. Grossman added "We took reference from the Burj Khalifa in Dubai [...] What I liked was when you see pictures photographed from up there, the buildings are so tall that they peek through the clouds and you have no real sense of how far you are away from the ground. That gave us the idea to build the planet Kronos in atmospheric layers. We tried to imagine what a planet like Jupiter would be like underneath all these layers of atmosphere."[5]
The name of the homeworldEdit
- Kronos: The Klingon homeworld remained canonically unnamed until Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, in which it was identified as "Kronos", spelled that way in the film's script. [6] The spelling "Kronos" was also used in most of the scripts of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episodes. [7] It was also used in the script of the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "Broken Bow". [8] According to the pronunciation guide in the script of DS9: "Tears of the Prophets", KRO-nos is the phonetic spelling of "Kronos". [9] The spelling "Kronos" was first seen on screen in Star Trek Into Darkness.
- Qo'noS: According to the Star Trek Encyclopedia and The Klingon Dictionary by Marc Okrand, "Kronos" is the pronunciation and anglicanized form of the Klingonese word "Qo'noS". According to the script of "Tears of the Prophets" however, where the Klingon death chant is spelled in Klingonese: "neH taH Kronos. Hegh bat'lhqu Hoch nej maH. neH taH Kronos. yay je bat'lh manob Hegh." "Kronos" is the way the name is spelled in Klingonese as well. [10] The alternate spelling QO'NOS was sometimes used instead of KRONOS in closed captioning in the official DVD-releases of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episodes for example. On screen the spelling "Qo'noS" appeared on computer screens in Star Trek Into Darkness for the first time.
- Chronos: "Chronos" was a more rare alternative spelling used in the scripts of only two Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episodes, "Once More Unto the Breach" [11] and "Extreme Measures" [12]
- Kling: During the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation, an earlier alternate name for the Klingon homeworld has also been used. "Kling" was first mentioned on screen in TNG: "Heart of Glory" and depicted as a location on "The Explored Galaxy" star chart. According to the Star Trek Encyclopedia, at the time "Heart of Glory" was written, "Kling" was in fact intended as the name of the Klingon homeworld, but once the episode was filmed, it was realized that the name sounded pretty silly. "Kling" was therefore referenced in the Encyclopedia as a district or a city on the Klingon homeworld. According to Star Trek: Star Charts (p. 56) however, "Kronos", "Kling" and "Qo'noS" are all alternative names for the homeworld.
- Klingonii, Klinzhai, Kazh: Reference works, that predate Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country have offered several other names. According to the Star Fleet Medical Reference Manual released in 1977, the Klingon homeworld was the planet "Klingonii" also known as "Epsilon Sagittarii B". According to Star Trek Maps (Chart B) released in 1980, the homeworld was the planet "Kazh" and the star it orbited was called "Klingon". In the reference book The Worlds of the Federation (pgs. 114, 154), the homeworld was called both "Klinzhai" and "Kling". The name "Klinzhai" first appeared in the 1984 novel The Final Reflection. "Kling" and "Klinzhai" have also been used in the FASA RPG and various other novels, as well as in the Star Trek: Starfleet Command video game series, before the release of Star Trek VI.
Location of Qo'noSEdit
On screen and in dialogue, the Klingons have been exclusively identified as an Alpha Quadrant race. The association with the Alpha Quadrant began to be established in Star Trek: The Next Generation. In "A Matter Of Honor", the Klingons and the Romulans were mentioned to have had a series of skirmishes along their border. In "Reunion", K'Ehleyr stated that Klingon wars were rarely confined to the Empire. These wars had a tendency to spread to the neighboring star systems, like the Tholians and the Ferengi. All three were later on established to be Alpha Quadrant powers, in such episodes as DS9: "The Search, Part II", "Call to Arms" and VOY: "Q2". The position of Ferenginar only a few sectors away from Cardassia was established on a star chart in DS9: "When It Rains...".
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine confirmed what had been already stated and added onto it. In "The Die is Cast", the Dominion identified the Klingons as a threat originating from the Alpha Quadrant. "The Way of the Warrior" was the first episode that implied that the Klingons and the Cardassians shared a border. The Klingon Empire launched an attack against the Cardassian Union for the best interest of the Alpha Quadrant. It was revealed in this episode that relations between the two great powers have been for the most part amicable, save for the Betreka Nebula Incident that began an eighteen-year-long conflict between the two powers. In "Blaze of Glory", Captain Benjamin Sisko and Martok were discussing the ramifications of Human terrorists killing millions of Cardassian citizens. They agreed that the Cardassian allies, the Dominion, would retaliate not only against the Federation, but against the Klingons and the entire Alpha Quadrant. In "In the Pale Moonlight", Sisko attempted to persuade the Romulan Senator Vreenak to consider having the Romulans join the offensive against the Dominion. According to Sisko, if Cardassia, the Klingon Empire and the Federation were all conquered by the Dominion, the Romulans would find their territory surrounded by a single enemy. In the "Tears of the Prophets", Sisko stated that the three great powers, the Humans, the Klingons, and the Romulans have one goal: to drive the Dominion out of the Alpha Quadrant. In "When It Rains...", Chancellor Gowron envisioned the Klingon Empire as the saviors of the Alpha Quadrant if they could drive the Dominion out of the quadrant.
The association of Qo'noS and the Alpha Quadrant was carried over to Star Trek: Voyager as well. In "Faces", Chief Engineer B'Elanna Torres boasted that Klingon females were renowned in the Alpha Quadrant for their physical prowess and voracious sexual appetites. In "Flashback", Captain Kathryn Janeway reminisced about what it would be like to live in Captain James T. Kirk's era, with the Alpha Quadrant still largely unexplored and Humans on the verge of war with the Klingons. In "Flesh and Blood", Chakotay identified the Klingon bat'leth as an Alpha Quadrant weapon.
The close proximity of Qo'noS and Earth was established in the pilot episode "Broken Bow" of Star Trek: Enterprise. Qo'noS was located only four days away at warp 4.5. "Two Days and Two Nights" established that this was at most only 90 light years away, as that was the farthest away from Earth any Human had ever gone up to that point.
Reference works that predate Star Trek: The Next Generation depict the location of the Klingon Empire and their homeworld in what has been established as the Alpha Quadrant. These include such works as the Star Trek Star Fleet Technical Manual (T0:02:07:00) and Star Trek Maps (Chart A). More recent reference works have however moved the Klingon Empire into the Beta Quadrant. They show that the Empire borders only the Romulan Star Empire and the United Federation of Planets. Despite the conflicting canonical references establishing the Ferengi and the Cardassians as neighbours of the Empire, they are depicted on the other side of the Federation, away from the Klingons in these graphics. Only one of these graphics depicting the Klingons in the Beta Quadrant made an illegible brief on screen appearance as a display graphic on a PADD in Star Trek: Insurrection. [13] [14]
Star Trek: Star ChartsEdit
The capital city for the uniglobal government and for the Klingon Empire was the First City on Qo'noS. The dominant species on the planet were the Klingons. Points on interest on this world were the Great Hall, Qam-Chee, Tong Vey, Quin'lat, Temple of G'boj, Kri'stak volcano, Lake of Lusor, and Caves of Kahless. The Klingons were warp capable in 930 A.D. The planet was on the front line during the brief Klingon Civil War of 2368. In 2378, there were 3.84 billion Klingons living on the planet. The planet Qo'noS (Kronos, Kling) was located in the Qo'noS system. The star system was located in the Qo'noS Sector, adjacent to the Archanis Sector. The star Qo'noS was a K-class star with a magnitude of +3, which was ten times brighter than Sol. In 2293, the USS Enterprise-A visited this system when escorting Kronos One to Earth. (pg. 55, 56, 61, 62)

SERVES:4 - 6 as a side
INGREDIENTS: 8-12 slices bacon, cooked until crisp
approx. 6- 8 cups small broccoli florets with long stem1 1/2 cups water for steaming broccoli
1 medium onion, peeled, quartered and thinly sliced1 large clove garlic, finely minced
3-4 Tbs olive oil1-2 tsp Dijon mustard3-4 Tbs apple cider vinegar (see hints below)
Count on 2 - 3 slices of bacon per serving and you want to get started by crisping that up in a large pan.
While you're keeping your eye on the bacon, cut the broccoli into individual small florets with long stems, just use your judgment for how much you think you'll need.
You'll also need to peel and thinly chop a medium size onion and finely mince a large clove of garlic and, once the bacon is out of the pan and draining on paper towels, add the chopped onion to the pan and cook that along to soften.
Once the onions have softened up, add the minced garlic, stir that around and cook it along for a minute, and turn the heat off.
At that point add the broccoli to another large pan, add about 1 1/2 cups water, turn the heat to high and put a lid on top.
Keep your eye on that, you don't want the pan to dry out while you're cooking the broccoli until it's tender crisp and then, once it's close to being done, turn the heat back on underneath the onions and, depending on how much rendered bacon fat there is, you might want to add a little olive oil to the pan, add a little dollop of Dijon mustard and a splash of apple cider vinegar and let that cook along for a minute.
Once the broccoli is tender crisp, drain it really well, and then add the dressing to the broccoli, toss to coat, crumble the bacon in and it is good to go!
Use red wine vinegar or white vinegar if you don't have apple cider vinegar.

I paid attention to the article which BB had posted a week or so ago about D not necessarily winning SBs anymore. However, I rate a team by the number of true tough and gritty guys they have on their D. With this in mind, the Niners and the Ravens are definitely more superior. Both the Pats and the Falcons are more of a finesse team as compared to the aforementioned. However, it's going to be too much of a speculation for me to call both games in favor of the away teams. So with that said, I think that the Niners are too much of a load for the Falcons and will force the Falcons off their rhythm so to disrupt Matt Ryan and his receivers. I don't think that the Falcon RBs are going to carry the day for the Falcon O and I don't see the Falcon D to be able to stay strong against that Niners O for 4 quarters! In the second game, I give the advantage to the Pats although this contradicts what I had said above. Obviously the X-Factor in that game is Brady playing at Home. If the Ravens come in all loose and relaxed with nothing to lose attitude, they can overcome, but logically I have to go with the Pats as I don't see the Ravens not to be too emotionally tightened up, considering the circumstances of how they got there from last week plus RayRay & a repeat of their loss to the Pats at this juncture last year
Chargers hire ex-Cardinals special teams coachPosted by Josh Alper on January 20, 2013, 11:01 AM ESTHead coach Mike McCoy's first Chargers staff is showing a lot of similarity to this year's Cardinals staff.Ken Whisenhunt will be the offensive coordinator, Frank Reich will be the quarterbacks coach and now comes word that Kevin Spencer will be in charge of the special teams in San Diego. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Spencer, who held the same role in Arizona since 2007, will be in charge of special teams in San Diego.The Chargers special teams need some work, as evidenced by the way they allowed three punts to be blocked during the 2012 season. Rich Bisaccia, who was hired to correct the special teams after similar breakdowns in 2010, left to take a job at Auburn before McCoy was hired.Spencer's units in Arizona benefitted from Patrick Peterson returning punts the last couple of years, but he also had success before Peterson arrived on the team. Sean Morey made the Pro Bowl as a special teamer after the 2008 season and Spencer also enjoyed a lot of success in Pittsburgh, including a Super Bowl XL win over the Seahawks.Spencer's departure leaves the Cardinals with only a couple of holdovers for Bruce Arians' initial coaching staff in Arizona.
Morning all (is it morning still ?.........Yep, just !!!) Ready to go, lets see some good games, just like last week will do fine.
I have a couple of (well) hidden talents that I call upon when needed. Problem is BLEW, the occasion doesn't crop up that much anymore, fewer "greats" as each day passes it seems.
So, last go-round for RayRay ...................... maybe !!! Be interesting to see how he approaches things early, well worth keeping an eye on.
Doubt we'll see RayRay take that route BLEW, as a leader he's well aware that his presence alone out on the field may well be more important than his actual game performance, especially as far as organizing his own teamates .......
Well that sets the tone early enough, wont see to many better opening drives than that one...................perfection. There's my boy Julio down by the schoolyard getting away again .......................kid is good one.
Oh I knew you were only joking BLEW ........................but Im in "serious gameday mode" at the moment, sorry, Ill try and lighten up here shortly.
I've been saying all week that there is NO WAY the 9ers would spot the Falcons a 20-0 lead in the first half - dayum - Falcs scored that 1st 7 entirely too easily.
Gonzales commanding close attention could open up Jones and White all day ............... Amazing what you can do with a guy when he demands attention like Tony G , even when only used as a decoy.
Another example of it doesn't matter what your defensive scheme is, if your players don't cover the right people. That was a player f'up, pure and simple.
...and just that quick 10-0 Falcs. Gonzo is a "decoy" that can hurt you in an instant if you don't pay him proper attention. (Ask Seattle).
Lets see if the Niners can score on this possession, could go along way to determining the outcome of this one ...............wouldn't want to get to far behind, regardless of what transpired last week, but if you let a team get its back up, quite amazing what a little confidence can do, especially with a hometown crowd in your ear.
Just like Gatesy Dave, I bet those guys give OC migraines trying to prepare gameplans.....fargin' nightmare I would imagine.
Sacked with a 4 man rush... Wow - just fargin wow! Made the best O-line in football look like a bunch of losers in lightning bolts. Whew!
