Subject: We need to show this film today
Does this not seem familiar currently? I remember the 1970's and ever since it seems we are going in reverse as a society. Back to the the very early 20th century as far as we treat our fellow brothers and sisters merely due to their skin tone or what resource rich region of the world our corporate run government has been exploiting directly or covertly through military and police aggression, post world war 2.

Subject: Eye of the Storm
This is a very important film. I truly wish some politicians I can think of would watch this. After this film was made, for some years afterward, teachers across the US did the same experiment with their classes. It was effective but some "parent's groups" killed some of them. Now, I can't think of any school where this is done. It's not that prejudice has gone away, it's just that it's still hard to fight and those who need the lesson the most are the first to stand and say it's their "first ammendment God-given right" to say some of these things about people who are African American, Native American, Gay or undoccumented immigrants. I hope all who watch this suggest it to their friends. It is dated but still very chilling.

A primo heavy metal 7-string machine from the pioneer of heavy rock guitars.
Ibanez RGD2127Z Prestige 7-String Electric Guitar
The Ibanez RGD2127Z Prestige 7-string electric guitar is made in Japan with Prestige craftsmanship by Japan's finest luthiers. It's built for heavy rocking and for outputting clear sound down to the lowest note without losing playability. The Ibanez guitar's extra-long, lightning-fast, 26-1/2" Prestige Wizard HP neck is ultra-smooth, thin, and strong, and is backed with KTS™ Titanium reinforcement—it's the best in shred. This sleek 7-string metal monster is tuned down low and built to reach the highest realms of metal fury.The Ibanez Prestige RGD2127Z guitar features V77/V87 custom designed pickups for down tuning. These pickups are specially designed for capturing more low-end by regenerating a wider tonal range. Instead of losing the low-end, they output it with rich, harmonic tone. A lot of hard rockers hold their guitars low, and the sharp-shaped Ibanez RGD guitar body achieves good balance and extra-deep scoop cuts on lower horn for easier access to high frets for low-slingers. The Edge Zero 7, the next generation of Edge knife-edge tremolos, employs design advantages from the high tech ZR Zero Resistance trem such as the Zero Point System, an onboard intonation screw and arm torque adjustment.V77/V87 pickupsThe Ibanez RGD2127Z Prestige electric guitar comes equipped with custom designed pickups for down tuning. These pickups are specially designed for capturing more low-end by regenerating a wider tonal range. Instead of losing the low-end, they output it with rich, harmonic tone. The V87 bridge humbucker uses alnico magnets to produce a rich harmonic tone with clarity in the low end. The V77 neck pickup's ceramic magnets produce a smooth and dynamic tone with warm midrange.Includes hardshell case.

You won't need a thing to fly your Blade® CX. Everything that's needed for flight is included with your purchase.
With the new Blade® CX you get a completely assembled and ready to fly micro heli with a coaxial counter-rotating head design that is so stable almost any first-time flyer can be hovering like a pro in no time. The Blade CX offers things other similarly designed micro helis can't – the power and precision of E-Flite S75 servos, an advanced 4-in-1 controller, and a great looking, lightweight body that really stands out. The Blade CX features counter-rotating main blades that cancel out the rotational torque that makes hovering a challenge in conventional helis. They also make rudder turns much easier by slowing down one or the other blade without affecting the stability of the aircraft. This is truly a helicopter that most anyone can fly.
|The Blade CX's coaxial, counter-rotating blades cancel out the rotational torque that makes hovering a conventional heli so difficult for first-time pilots.
|Almost everything needed to fly your Blade CX is already included and installed (only 8 AA batteries are required; sold separately), and an instructional video CD is also included to help get you flying faster.
|The Blade CX's box, with molded foam inserts and convenient handle, also serves as a handy carrying case and a great way to store your model when traveling or between flying sessions.
|The lightweight 4-in-1 receiver, mixer, ESC and gyro unit is easy-to-use and already installed. The 180 main motors and E-flite S75 sub-micro servos provide powerful and precise control.
|The Blade CX's coaxial, counter-rotating blades cancel out the rotational torque that makes hovering a conventional heli so difficult, making this a heli just about any first-time pilot can fly with complete confidence and success.
|The Blade CX is perfect for practicing hovering, forward flight, backward flight and more, indoors or out.
|The optional Training Gear Set (EFLH1205; sold separately) makes learning to fly the Blade CX even easier than it already is by adding more stability and helping to prevent blade strikes. Please see product page for installation instructions.
|The included AC Power Supply gives you the freedom to use the Blade CX's DC LiPo charger anywhere an AC outlet is available.

ABS TCS and Brake Warning light on
ABS TCS and Brake Warning light on
One of the things I noticed if I push the brake pedal down and hold it there start the engine the lights go one for the brief moment then go off like most cars do. As soon as I release the pedal I here the ABS unit clicking under the hood and all three warning lights come on leaving me with a regular brake system.
Does anyone have any thoughts or experience on this problem.
Hi Ken,
Based on my very recent experience, I would say that the likelihood of a code indicating the ABS Motor Pack is bad is quite high.
I have a 98 Venture that, up until 2 days ago, had the same three lights on as you have. I had the code pulled by a local, reputable dealer where I know the manager personally, and it said the ABS Motor Pack was bad. They told me the chances of the Motor Pack being the actual root cause of my problem were very good, as the Motor Pack is notorious for failure on the Delco ABS-VI system (which is what the ABS system is on our vans). A little research for myself supported what their recommendation.
I was able to get the motor pack from a local salvage yard (also came with Master Cyl, Brake Fluid Reservoir, ABS Modulator, and TCS Motor/Modulator - they would only sell all together) for the very reasonable price of $75. Way better than the $314 wholesale price I was quoted for a new Motor Pack through GM.
I did the replacment 2 nights ago, and no lights ever since. BRAKE light went out right away, and ABS & TCS lights went off after 1 trip, shut down, restart.
One quick note:the dealer tech discovered that due to the malfunction of my Motor Pack, my left rear wheel wasn't braking at all. So, contrary to what I thought for the 1 year + that I had those lights on, this was a pretty serious, fundamental safety issue.
I hope this helps.
Ken, I forgot to address the clicking of the ABS sytem at startup that you mentioned. The clicking you hear is the self-check that the ABS system performs at every start-up. If you hold your foot on the brake when you start the van, the ABS system will not execute this check until you let off of the brake. The lights don't come on until you let off the brake, because the system hasn't done the self-check yet. Once the self-check is completed, and a problem is detected, the lights come on. My van, along with my 1995 Grand Prix, which both have the ABS-VI system, do the same self-check and make the same type of noise at start-up. It's understandable to perceive the noise as abnormal; when I test drove the Grand Prix 7 years ago, I thought something was wrong.
Thanks for the info.
GM Parts Direct sells the motor pack for 263.00 shipping included. I may go that way if I cant get one from a junk yard. If the motor pack is prone to failure it seems a new one would be the way to go. My mechanic told me there has to be a calibrated distance set with feeler gages. Since you had bought a used assy sounds like you did not have to deal with that.
Although I got the whole assembly, the only component I changed out was the Motor Pack. I simply removed the three Torx head screws to remove the cover on the bottom, and two Torx head screws to release the motor pack from the ABS modulator, and pulled it down and out. Putting the used motor pack in was an exact reverse of removal - totally "plug-n-play" so to speak. No adjustments at all. Maybe it's different if you buy a brand new motor pack...?
My van has 197,000 miles on it, and only needs to get my family by for another 2-3 years, so I decided to take my chances on the used motor pack. Even if this one fails eventually, it's less than an hour's work to change, and for the price I can put in 2 more used ones by the time I pay the $$$ for a new one. Just my $.02
Sound good. I will look for a used one first. My venture has almost 174,000 and Runs great. I wouldn't hesitate to take a trip across the country with it. Thanks for your info.
No problem. I feel the same about my van, at least now that the head gasket job is completed (just did that back in Dec. - approx. 3,000 miles ago).
I have one more question. Did you have to undo the brake lines and remove the ABSMaster cylinder assy because it looks pretty tight around the ABS/Motor Pack
No need to open the brake lines to the ABS Modulator - in fact, that's something that you don't want to do! My understanding is that if you open those lines, air will be introduced into the ABS Modulator, and a special procedure is required to bleed that unit (use of Tech II Scan Tool to cycle the ABS "valves" to force the air out of the bleed screws located on the modulator).
At first glance, the motor pack (along with almost any component on this engine :lol: ) looks like a very tight squeeze, but it is very do-able. The brake lines leading to the ABS Modulator will flex some, and that combined with the correct items removed from the surrounding area, will allow just enough room to pull the ol' Motor Pack out of there.
Components that will need to be removed, in the order in which I did it:
1. Coolant Reservoir
2. Cruise Control Modulator (no need to remove it altogether, just unbolt the bracket from the fender, and remove the modulator from the bracket). This allows you to get to the brace that runs from the radiator support to the fender.
3. Above-mentioned brace
4. Air Intake Duct
5. Air Cleaner Element
6. Unplug ECM and carefully lay out of the way (I laid it on the radiator support, and was extremely careful around it while it lay there).
7. Air Box
This should allow you enough clearance to flex those lines just a bit and get that motor pack pulled out of there. Getting at the 3 Torx cover screws and the 2 Torx screws holding the motor pack to the modulator isn't too tough at removal, but it takes a little time and finesse to get them started again upon reassembly. You might have to lightly tap around the perimeter of the cover with screwdriver handle or such to shock it off of the motor pack, even after the screws have been removed.
I hope this helps. Pretty easy for me to spout off these details since I just tackled this one a few nights ago.
Let me know how it turns out.
I've done alot of different mechanical operations to my autos (ie clutches brakes, intake manifold gaskets etc.) It must be an age factor. Hitting the 49 tomorrow. Thanks for your input.
Debi C
My ABS and TCS lights were on as well..I had a board replaced on my tail light and they went out.
However now my hazard lights are always lit on my dashboard, when I press on the brake they go dimmer, and my radio light flickers with the pressing of the brake or when the turn signal is on. And when I turn on my turn signal on my hazard lights either stay lit constant or click/flash very fast.
I also just found out I have no tail lights or brake lights at all!
Do you have any clue?
Debi, have you had you van scanned for ABS Trouble Codes? If so, what did the code indicate?
As far as changing out the rear tail lamp assy - I have heard of ABS/TCS lights being related to that. Someone who I remember posting a lot of very helpful information about that is an AF Member who goes by cjstew I believe.
As far as different interior lights acting abnormal when your turn signals are on, etc - I've read on the forum about an electrical connector under the carpet that can get wet and go bad, causing some weird electrical situations. Unfortunately, I can't be much help on that, as I haven't crossed that bridge yet with my Venture.
Debi, here I am, the cjstew4 that Andy mentions. I would definitely first take it too an AutoZone or similar place that lets you borrow the code reader and read and give them the codes to know if it is the short in the rear taillight connection b4 I would tackle that. If it happens to be it, here are the instructions on the cheaper/cheapest fix if you are handy with repairs such as these:
You'll have to open the tailgate and pull off your rear taillight housing that
should be held on by two star head bolts, but I am not sure of the size. If
you don't have those sockets, then sometimes a flathead screwdriver of the right size can loosen them if they are not too tight. Once off, you will see a
harness with a connector on the end that plugs into the circuit board connector.
You can see how GM designed this so that the water flows right into it. Unplug the connector that has about 5 different clored wires as part of the harness and you will see the shorted black wire in the middle of the connector. That's your problem. A shorter way than mine at this point left by another poster was to drill out the burned black wire/connector section and
screw in a 10 gauge wire in it's place and connect to the opposing harness
ground wire (black one, thicker one).
If you prefer my option which costs about $5 is to label the harness wires
that plug into the circuit board as to their location on the mating plug, cut the plug off the harness, attach connectors to each wire, cut down all 4 sides of the circuit bd plug about 3/8th to 1/2 in exposing the 5 pins. Be sure to clean off the shorted middle, thin prong/pin carefully. Attach the mating connector from the location markings you did earlier. Test the brakes, notice
that your ABS/TCS dash lights are now out (not lit anymore), and apply weatherproof silicone to the connections so that water, etc cannot collect at the harness or connections.
Call me at my cell if you need further assistance. 619-890-2118 (Pacific time zone). Good luck, Corey.
Which tail light do you remove - Driver or Passenger? Or do you have to check both?
Which tail light do you remove - Driver or Passenger? Or do you have to check both?
You want to remove both since even if only one side is bad the other may not be far behind it. It reworked both for my 97's repair and weatherproofed/gooped up that whole harness /plug assembly after I tested them. Been 2 yrs now w/o an issue.
Hi, i've just repaired my 1999 chevy venture LS thats had the ABS light and brake warning lights on. I used a scan tool and got the code c1246 and " rear channel will not lock " after reading the posts on this web site I've replaced the ABS motor / master cyl ,my venture does not have tcs so it is the complete unit that i replaced and had to Bleed the brake system at the ABS motor 2 places and at each wheel. I got a used ABS motor for $35.00 so i'm really pleased. Thank you all for the previous posts they were really helpful cheers Rich.....
another simple check is to check the wiring harnass that go,s to the abs wheel sensor, there is a quick connect connector that is located on the lower a arm beside the tie rod spray with contact cleaner and ad a little bit of dielectric grease. In my case the harnass came loose and was rubbing on the axle boot, i had to splice in a small piece of wire and was good to go.
I have a 1998 chevy venture and The brake warning light, TCS, and ABS lights on the instrument panel are all on. I took it to my mechanic and the scan code was C1246. The shop came to the conclusion that it was probably the Motor Pack on the ABS unit. But due to the cost of 400.00 plus labor for a motor pack kit from GM and the possibility of being another component I did not have the van repaired yet.
One of the things I noticed if I push the brake pedal down and hold it there start the engine the lights go one for the brief moment then go off like most cars do. As soon as I release the pedal I here the ABS unit clicking under the hood and all three warning lights come on leaving me with a regular brake system.
Does anyone have any thoughts or experience on this problem.
My 97 venture has the same problem. Abs Tcs lights on since last winter when the wife ran into the ditch off an icy road. We just ignore it it dosent hurt anything. I just figured they came on because it got jard in the crash,,,

One of your rear brake lights may be out due to the infamous rear tailight harness to plug shorting at ground. When you press the brake pedals do both directional arrows light up dimly? I would still make sure all brake lights work.
The shop came to the conclusion that it was probably the Motor Pack on the ABS unit. .
Probably. :lol:
Okay, sounds great. If it fixes it, I'll probably pay you uh huh. If it don't, well, ain't no probably about it. I WON'T.
Probably. :lol:
Just tell them to print out the diagnostic testing procedure from ALL DATA, or Mitchell's, or whatever they have, and buy a multimeter on the way home, and then do the tests as described, and if you're lucky, you'll find the chafed wire that you can fix for .06 cents' worth of electrical tape, which is causing the problem.
I know its been a year since you lasted posted here, but do you still have the TCS modulator that you got from the junkyard? I am looking for one.
a shorted out or wires broke on a wheel sensor will make the same three lights come on the dash.my wife ran through where a deer had been ran over by a semi and i guess the lab puppy she had at the house had to check out the underneath of the van when she got home.it ended up chewing one of the elbows on the rear wheel sensor wires .when i went to drive to town the next morning the trhee lights came on in the dash.i still had brakes but not abs. i check the fluid level which was full then started checking wires and found the chewed spot. so check and see if a wheel sensor connector has been knock loose or if the wires going to one is damaged.

Maine Coastal Chillin' II
Trip Description
The (aptly named) Maine Coastal Chillin' trip explores the sites of Maine's coast (and beaches!) just south of the Brunswick/Bath area. On this trip, you'll take excursions to the Morse Mountain conservation area, as well as to nearby Popham Beach State Park. You'll have the opportunity to go on some very accessible day hikes in the surrounding area, as well as plenty of chances to hang around and explore the local beaches.
Situated just a short drive from the Bates Campus itself, the Hermit Island area is a popular destination for Batesies throughout the rest of the school year. We love it so much in fact, that we hold our bi-annual Clam Bake (a student favorite) right there at Popham Beach.
Like all other base camping trips, the Maine Coastal Chillin' AESOP is designed to be lower-intensity and is ideal for those who are excited about AESOP and being in the outdoors, but who might be less comfortable with a higher-level trip.
*Maine Coastal Chillin' I & II share similar itineraries, but are run as separate trips.

NEW YORK (PIX11)—Closed since it filled with water during superstorm Sandy, The Hugh L. Carey Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel finally opened to general traffic Tuesday afternoon.
The tunnel, which allows an average of 49,500 cars to drive from the southern tip of Manhattan to Brooklyn, filled with more than 86 million gallons of water Oct. 29.
The east tube will be open for Manhattan-bound traffic between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m., and for Brooklyn-bound traffic from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. One lane will be open to cars, while the other will be reserved for express buses.
Rail commuters from Long Beach, an area especially hard-hit by Sandy, will be able to catch diesel powered trains on a limited schedule during the week to Lynbrook. At the Lynbrook station they can connect with NYC-bound trains.
[See the weekday schedule here]
The last train will leave Long Beach Station at 8:58 p.m. and will run hourly during peak times, and every two hours during the off-peak.
The MTA warns that trains will likely be crowded.

Lebanon — State police say the two people discovered unresponsive in a running vehicle in Lebanon on Monday died accidentally from carbon monoxide poisoning.
Brittany Holland, 25, of 51 Slocum Road in Hebron and Casey Senechal, 25, with a last known address of 26 First St. in Lebanon were discovered at 8:50 a.m. in a vehicle on Smith Road, near Route 207, in Lebanon.
Someone had called 911 after discovering the parked car, engine running, with two occupants inside.
Emergency medical personnel, firefighters and state police responded.
Both were pronounced dead at the scene by EMS personnel. The state Office of the Chief Medical Examiner conducted autopsies and determined the cause of death.
Detectives from the state police Eastern District Major Crime Squad are investigating, but state police spokesman Lt. J. Paul Vance said in a statement there appears to be no criminal aspect to the case.

This life I've lived: Accepting and Changing it
My first three years of college were a train wreck. I didn't know what it was that I wanted to do with my life, I hated the people I called my closest friends, I was in an abusive relationship (more mental than physical), ended that relationship jumped in another (with a man I have yet to figure out why he played such a big role in my life), and I lost my long time connection with God. Those three years were the worst three years of my life! I didn't know the meaning of depression until then. So I decided I needed to change the way I lived. I hadn't put much thought into this plan but I knew that I wanted and needed a change. With no set plan, I started to do things differently. I slept with who I wanted (or who I thought I wanted). I drank what and when I wanted. Hell, if my rent and bills were paid, I spent money on things I wanted not needed. I was having the time of my life. Actually, I was doing exactly what society says a young black woman was supposed to. At the end of the day I never created this "plan" to change. As a result, I found myself crying myself to sleep many nights. My friends thought I was ok but in reality I felt worse than ever before. So I eventually grew the balls to make a real plan on getting my life together. I applied to two new schools knowing I would lose a lot of credits if I transferred. I even knew that I'd probably graduate a year later than expected but at the time I didn't care. I got accepted to both schools and decided to move to the one furthest from my old school.
So now here I am, at Ohio State University, accomplishing my first and only step in this new "plan". I get to Ohio State feeling accomplished because I did the unthinkable…I got away. But what now? I had no idea and once again no plan. I transferred and lost my damn mind. I did everything I was doing at my old school minus the major drama. Even worse, I disappointed myself. My grades were terrible, my drinking habits got worse, and I barely went to church. I became numb to the emotional side of me and embraced the rebellious side in me. I moved miles away from home just to play around and frankly I didn't care until it was too late. Despite me playing around i'm extremely happy in my new home…I just know I'm not doing my best.
So this blog isn't to brag about how I miraculously decided to change my life or to brag about how out of nowhere things changed because of God's grace because I'd be lying. This blog is for me! This blog is going to be something that I could look back and laugh at. I'm 22 years old, ready to graduate, and I'm officially making a real plan. Not a cop out plan that will lead me down the same path I've been walking for the past 4 years. This time I plan to accomplish more than just running away from my fears. All this will take is hard work, dedication, and lots of prayers!

The Toronto Raptors have reportedly received an offer for one of their best players.
ESPN's Brian Windhorst is reporting the Detroit Pistons have offered the expiring contracts of guard Rodney Stuckey and forward Charlie Villanueva to the Raptors for forward Rudy Gay.
Gay has two years and $37 million left on his current contract and was acquired by the Raptors from the Memphis Grizzlies in January, as part of a three team deal, for forward Ed Davis, guard Jose Calderon and backup centre Hamed Haddadi.
The 26-year-old played in 33 games with the Raptors during the 2012-13 season and averaged 19.5 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists.
Prior to the trade, he also appeared in 42 games for the Grizzlies in 2012/13 and averaged 17.2 points.
The seven-year veteran made his debut during the 2006-07 season and spent his entire career in Memphis before being dealt to the Raptors.
It was Canada's night at the NBA Draft as four players from north of the border were selected.
1. Andrew Wiggins - Cavaliers
8. Nik Stauskas - Kings
18. Tyler Ennis - Suns
45. Dwight Powell - Hornets

-Eagle Pass
Jorge Sanchez, Eagle Pass Parks and Recreation Department Director, informed The News Gram that his department will be conducting an event which coincides with Earth Day in which they will be planting trees at strategic areas around the city in an effort to give back to the land that gives us life, the water we drink and the air we breathe everyday.
"The mission of the Eagle Pass Parks and Recreation Department is to create, protect and beautify a diverse parks and recreation system for the entire community so they can have meaningful recreation experiences that will enhance their quality of life," stated the administrator.
A symbolic ceremony to landmark this national event will be held on Monday, April 22nd at 10:00 P.M. at San Juan Plaza in which children from neighboring Reedeemer Episcopal, their principal and school teachers will be on hand to witness the planting of trees in the plaza area.
The Honorable Ramsey English Cantú will be on hand along with city council members and PARD staff.
This type of event allows for the city to beautify its parks as well as to give back to Mother Earth and send a message to the community about the importance of trees in the scheme of preserving the environment in which we live.

Beguiling Details Emerge Regarding Bryan Singer's Long-Abandoned STAR TREK TV Pitch!!
I learned recently that "X-Men" filmmaker Bryan Singer (and Jonathan Frakes and William Shatner) pitched (post-"Star Trek: Enterprise"?) TV series to Paramount. All rejected.
Singer's interest surprised me (I always think him a 1970s "Galactica" aficionado), but I've since been reminded he had a cameo in the worst of the Trek features, "Nemesis."
I was curious as to the premise of the Singer (and Shatner and Frakes) pitch, and now we've got a bit of detail on that mysterious Singer pitch:
Solomon Short here. Long time AICN reader and rare submitter.
Many years ago I sat in a friend's office and held the script for the proposed Trek series pilot, but did not have time to read it. If memory serves me correctly, this is what I recall getting out of my friend about the series. Begin brief...
The Singer universe was written before the Abrams reboot and follows the original Trek timeline.
We are somewhere just beyond the 30th century.
The Klingons are less warrior-like and more political.
The Romulans and Vulcans completed reunification and are busy with that (obviously this doesn't take into account Romulus's destruction).
And the Federation has expanded through a huge portion of the galaxy -- so far in fact, transmissions from the frontier to Starfleet HQ takes years at subspace frequencies.
Ships sent to these distant areas of the galaxy are near autonomous, expanding the Federation while exploring new worlds and civilizations unknown to the Trek universe.
In a way, this parallels Voyager exploring the far Delta quadrant and DS9's wormhole access to the Gamma quadrant, except our hero ship is not trying to go home, yet the crew is literally on thier own to deal with whatever gets thrown in the way, while still making headway on thier mission of exploration and expansion.
I cannot comment on the principal characters or the story itself, as I did not read the script, nor do I recall where in the galaxy this takes place (i.e. what quadrant).
As I said, a few years have passed and I may be off on a couple details. Hope this is of interest,
Solomon Short
I would like to see this series! I'd also like to see Bryan Fuller's, which would follow a different Starfleet crew full of Kirk's contemporaries in the Abramsverse.
I miss Star Trek. I miss televised space shows. I'm bored to tears with poorly written "War of the Worlds" rip-offs. Maybe "Galactica: Blood & Chrome" will get it done at some point. But I do hope Bad Robot and Paramount soon let Star Trek out of its cage.

How about a series about Khan, but from the Mirror Mirror universe?
by Grasscutter
Somehow transplanted into the Trek canon universe. He'd be reverse-Khan, and he'd be a good guy. A non-Federation centric series.
April 12, 2011, 2:46 a.m. CST
Um... why not just ask Singer HIMSELF?
by TheGhostWhoLurks
You guys are all "buddy-buddy" with him. Maybe he can just give you a copy of the script in question, or just tell you about it via e-mail or on the phone. Seems like a pretty simple mystery to solve. Or does that just make too much sense?

Space opera doesn't sell anymore
by StoryFirst
The mass audience simply do not care. They are not interested. It's not as if the rebooted Star Trek set the box office world alight with its sales. And the sci-fi fans who would watch it, expect to be entertained at such a high level, that it is impossible to satisfy. And the ones that come close (firefly, BSG) are cancelled - ratings are just poor...4 seasons for BSG is hardly amazing, no matter how good the show...Star Trek as a tv series now, wouldn't work. People - apart from Trekkies - just don't care. You would need to radically change the concept of the show. And the people who own it wouldn't do that. As for the ideas above - didn't exactly rock my boat...was well, more of the same to me...
April 12, 2011, 3 a.m. CST
Some really nice ideas and potential in that.
by V'Shael
First, we have already established that basic time travel exist(s) around 26th century time. So I think it would be very interesting to simply have that technology available (much like Kirk and co. had their warp-around-a-star method) but never use it for various reasons. (Prime directive, etc...) Second, it would give us a chance to re-use but redefine many of the existing Gamma and Delta quadrant species we've already seen, but bring them forward 600 years. There's every possibility that humanities dealings with a hegemonic swarm (ie The Borg) would be on a totally different playing field now. By the time humanity starts swelling out to fill the galaxy as a whole, we should be well on our way to reaching satellite galaxies. We could do things in Trek that were completely new and hard sci-fi. Imagine, for example that the crew could download their consciousness into robotic selves for away missions. Holographic communicators as standard. AI as a part of daily life. Sentient ships. Perhaps similar to the Minds in Banks' Culture novels. Life extension technologies meaning that your spaceship crew can be anywhere from 30 to 200 years old. Social segregation based along the period you were born in. The idea that the ship and crew are on their own on the frontier, brings you back to the Kirk-like days of exploration, but they have a much more massive Federation bringing up the rear, and far more advanced technologies in the field. In many ways, it would have the potential to change how we think about Star Trek. We'd have to think in terms of what the society might look like, what its problems might be, and how we could make such a technologically advanced culture relevant to a modern audience. Those would be the bigger challenges, but I think a good team of writers could handle it. I suspect the best way would be not to focus on the tech. Simply assume that anyone 1000 years more advanced than us, can do more or not do what the plot requires, without trying to explain it in 20th century terms. No more technobabble. If the Captain says we need to feed this population, you don't need a 5 minute discussion on maxing out the food replicators or the power requirements. You just have an orderly say Yes Sir, and know it will get done. The plots would have to be about non-tech problems. People problems. Social problems. It could have been a very very interesting sci-fi show, but it would not have been like the Trek we were used to. More frontier stories, far more advanced tech, more possible solutions to problems, so the writers need to be much more inventive with coming up with the problems. Such a shame. Oh well, Viacom can go back to thinking it was an over-saturation problem. And not a "We're making SHIT, why isn't anyone watching our SHIT???" problem.

My uncle and I are big Trek geeks, and we'll sometimes sit around family BBQs
by American Mythos
and discuss the franchise and what we'd like to see, or would like to have seen when Trek was still on TV. We bandied about an idea that would have most likely been canceled after a few episodes, but would have been intriguing nonetheless. It was a drastic departure from the previous shows, and would have been sort of a 24th century West Wing style show, dealing with the politics of the Federation and giving us an inside peak into who the governing body is that moves our Starfleet heroes around like pawns on a chess board. We've seldom explored that side of Star Trek. It most likely wouldn't work on TV, but I do hope future shows at least show something of the politics of the UFP.
April 12, 2011, 3:19 a.m. CST
And to clarify
by American Mythos
Of course we've covered the politics of the Federation, but never have we seen the politicians inside the UFP agonizing over or debating a decision impacting planets and cultures thousands of light years away. To me, a sci-fi and political nerd, it would be awesome.

Best Part of Star Trek Nemesis: Most Epic Fart Ever
by Autodidact
Nemesis was such a bad movie. When i saw it in theatres, I had to fart real bad. But I had a feeling it was really gonna stink so I went into the aisle and stood near the door. I released my assvalve slightly and out came the looongest, squeakiest fart of my life. It lasted for at least thirty seconds and sounded like someone slowly letting the air out of a huge balloon. Five seconds into the fart, I began to marvel and wonder with delight. After ten seconds I swelled with pride at a new personal best. At 15 seconds I began to wonder in amazement. When 20 seconds of passing gas had passed, there was an epiphany and I realized anew the miraculous nature of our human bodies. After 25 seconds my asslips started to hurt from the sustained peal. Finally around 30 seconds the feeling of pressure in my gut bubbled away and the Longest Squeakiest Fart There Ever Was became something only I knew was real. As far as everyone else in the theatre knew it was lost in the sound mix somewhere around the dune buggy sequence. Dune buggies... in Star Trek!

The ST universe has so many stories from the "current" period, that it was stupid to go into the past
by Col. Tigh-Fighter
The main reason why Enterprise was a dud. I've got no problem with JJ's ST films and where theyre set. But thats no reason why you can't mine the vast plethora of other ST stories in the ST universe. 31st Century sounds about right. Make it so!
April 12, 2011, 6:24 a.m. CST
That sounds pretty good.
by Rebel Scumb
-jump ahead in the timeline = Check -new take on old cultures/aliens = Check -Sense of exploration = Check -No over reliance on the Federation = Check If this had a good group of memorably interesting characters, and they were all cast well, I could completely get behind this concept. Its just different enough, while not straying too far from the source. And Singers Xmen films all stuck to the primary theme of the mutant vs human predjudice, so I would assume his Trek would stick to the meaningful ethical dilemmas and not just shoot em up style stories.
April 12, 2011, 6:28 a.m. CST
v'shael. While I agree for the most part (re: politics/star wars prequels)
by Rebel Scumb
To be fair, the prequels didn't handle the political stuff well at all. Or as I like to say, they had a lot of politician characters, without actually having any actual politics, in that that we were never really given and sense of the issues, or motives at work. There was just a lot of "the trade bill blah blah blah" or "the seperatists purpose a reconstitution of the diplomatic... yadda yadda yadda" But they never really explained who are these seperatists, why do they want to seperate, why is that a bad thing, etc etc. But, that aside you're still probably right.

I'm also amazed that Herc has managed to squeeze 2 "articles"
by Rebel Scumb
out of a nearly 10 year old bit of "news" with almost no content in either. I agree with the above poster, isn't there someone at AICN who can email Singer and just get some info on this? I mean the talkback discussion has been fun, since there aren't any other space shows to discuss anymore, its a good excuse for some geekery, but still.

Voyager Redux
by richievanderlow
Not interested. I'm just not sure how you would make Trek fresh again after all those series, quite frankly. Better to do what Abrams did and explore the characters we know and love. Then again, if the writing were good, it would probably be fine.. but why not just call it something else besides Star Trek since its so far removed? You're not going to explore the Trek Universe as we know it, because you're years away from it, you're not going to use any characters we know.. so just ditch the baggage and go with something all new.
April 12, 2011, 9:05 a.m. CST
hey graphix67
by doopey
Did you just make those numbers up? You are completely wrong about the box office. And it's not hard to confirm, just go to box office mojo and look up Star Trek. Nemesis was the lowest grossing Trek film by far with only $43 million.

Everyone seems to forget about or malign the soon to be terminated SGU. But I still maintain it's the show Voyager should have been and has really only gotten better with time.

I don't understand why all the internet hate for this show.

It was anything but an imaginative story. It was Dances With Wolves in Space. It sold because it looked pretty in 3D with a familiar theme. And people liked how pretty it looked, so they saw it again...because it was just so pretty. Shit for brains, but pretty nonetheless. By the time Tron Legacy 3D came out, people realised that 'pretty' wasn't enough. Where are the brains - and its box office reflected that. Look back at all the imaginative space operas of the last 5 years that have hit the big screen. Now tell me how many of those were mega- blockbusters. Star Trek is considered a big franchise product. Which means its owners will need to target the mass public in order to justify its franchise status. None of the above ideas would satisfy anyone other than a geek or trekkie...and geeks and trekkies do not equal 11 million viewers a week, nor $150 million box office opening weekend. Truth that. I personally don't think we will see a Trek tv show for another 5 to 10 years. If that. And if we do...it will be because the Star Wars live action tv series has been successful. And no other reason.

Doopey, I got the totals off of Wikipedia. I blame Wiki if I'm mistaken. Nevertheless, my last comment on that post still stands: Was 'Nemesis' REALLY worse than 'Final Frontier'???

Was Nemesis worse than final frontier? Don't know.

I've never watched Nemesis, and never will. I've seen Final Frontier about 5 times though.

@daydaykay - TNG took 3 years...
by V'Shael
but they hadn't made Trek on TV since the 60's. They had to discover what the hell they were doing. Stargate had been successfully on air for over a decade. There was simply NO excuse to come out of the gate with two years of shit and expect the audience to be there.

@doopey - Adjust those figures to ticket sales
by V'Shael
instead of box office, and it was an even bigger failure.

Adjusted figures for Nemesis versus Final Frontier.
by V'Shael
Final Frontier was released in 1989. Nemesis in 2002. Nemesis grossed $43,254,409 domestic. That's about 7.4 million ticket sales. In todays money, about $58.495 million Final Frontier grossed $52,210,049 domestic. That's about 13.1 million in ticket sales. In todays money, about $102.827 million. You might not like it, but financially, Final Frontier beat its ass like an unwanted ginger stepchild.

@graphix67: I'm pretty sure you're quoting the budgets, not grosses.
by Chewtoy
Generations: $35 Mil. First Contact: $45 Mil. Insurrection: $58 Mil. Nemesis: $60 Mil. These numbers match up with the reported budgets of the films. So Nemesis was the most *expensive* of the films, not the highest grossing. That is, until they blew out the bank to make Abrams' film with a $150m production budget.

SW: Yuuzhan Vong mini series.
by yamayama
If Lucas even had an ounce of integrity in his body he would have sanctioned a TV mini series set during the time of the Yuuzhan Vong war with the Jedi. Lucas and Hasbro could still make buckets off of toy collectors whilst keeping long term adult fans happy with a dark adult take on the Jedi. With regard to the Trek issues, to me its a case of how do you repackage the same story? It can only be done under satirical and political tones. Also at what point does the technology become almost mystical and appear to be god like? What happens when you have a federation that has turned into a collection of near gods who can manipulate time, matter, create black holes, teleport whole planets , and create new forms of life from scratch? what happens when the federation is on equal footing with the Q Continuum? Now thats something i would want to see on tv!!

Just rip off Firefly
by donkey_lasher
The Execs wouldn't dare kill a Trek series after 13 episodes, and you could lots of fun seeing the galaxy from an outlaws perspective. They could be on the run from a armed to the teeth Enterprise I, captained by an insane clone of Kirk's son.

Star Trek Apathy
by dj_bollocks
Personally there's still a big feeling of Star Trek Apathy for me... I'm sure Enterprise was great but it just never really grabbed me... That was after Voyager had really stretched the format where I just was just over it... The stand alone / alien of the week stories just seemed tired and boring... A 13 episode story arc that developed characters whilst telling an interesting story would be a great way to reboot the franchise - and if any franchise needed a deus ex machina if it started into the future it's Star Trek. Keep some of the alien races but do we really need to see more Klingon/Romulan/Vulcan/Ferenghi/Cardassian/Bajoran/Q stories ? Almost all the heritage races need to go - or only be referred to if necessary. Start afresh please. My only fanboy hope would be if they managed to reboot the Borg in some way - only I think they've probably screwed that pooch too...

Here's hoping for a new Trek series

I don't mind waiting so much for a few movies to be released but I really hope we get a new Trek series at some point. And hopefully it focuses on good story-telling and not action. Although certainly SOME action in nice.

No one is willing to make good space opera anymore because...
by Drath
They don't know HOW. They bitch that it's too cold and unappealing in space to be successful, yet they dismiss Star Trek the Next Generation for being too cosey and safe. MAKE UP YOUR FUCKING MINDS! The real reason is the economy is bad, and basically they all explored the genre as far as they could commercially in the 90s. Star Trek was milked as far as it could go without changing up their formula very much, which is why the Trek shows are all so similar in tone, feel, and style, until the profits started to drop. Also there's supposedly something messed up with the TV rights now, but whatever. Then you have the space shows on Sci-Fi like Farscape and Stargate. Well Farscape went as far as it could, balancing budget with profit, and ended on a decent note after that year-late mini-series. Stargate followed in Trek shoes and was even MORE safe and conservative with its formula, but it worked and the franchise had legs up until this newest series. Firefly proved that the genre has fans, but they don't come out fast enough for a network's liking (ie 2 miliseconds). BSG proved that the genre can achieve prestige if its morose and dark and otherwise unappetizing to the majority of fans who kept Star Trek and Stargate on the air so long--and voila, BSG had to bow out, in a tellingly hyped fashion. Now SGU tried to copy that show's tone and it didn't sustain enough ratings. Caprica, likewise, failed. It's the TONE. I admit that Farscape was great, but it was expensive with those puppets. Make your audience feel that they're in a comfort zone and they WILL watch the shows. Star Trek just got old. It needed time to be missed. And yeah, it wouldn't hurt to make the stories more compelling, maybe have some ongoing plots, but above all give the audience a sense of closure more often than not. Let them feel like they're not being fucked with and strung along. Even Buffy the Vampire Slayer, who had GREAT season-long arcs, knew to give the audience a sense of satisfaction by killing a monster at the end of every episode. Romance doesn't have have to be alien to Trek either BTW, certainly SEX can be in there without confining it to a femmebot ice queen character. Trek can and SHOULD be revisited, and yes it'll take some effort to make it more than just more of the same in order for it to be a hit. If we're waiting for it to be SO missed that we just have to throw the equivalent of reruns of Voyager (the lamest Trek, even more than Enterprise) on the air, then yeah that's another 15 to 20 years away. I really miss having a flagship sci-fi show on TV, and Trek was IT for years. It didn't lose it until Voyage became the only show on the air--and that's being generous since X-Files usurped the pop culture spot-light for a while. I'd love to see space opera back, and larger than life too. How many franchises can pull off Search for Spock? Biggest and straightest homoerotic love story possible, and somehow they did it with dignity. Okay, we're not in that generation anymore, we'll never go back, but still, the problem we have is SHITHEADS in charge of this genre both the writers and producers. All of Syfy is inept at this point. We need new blood, or else we need to light a fire under the talented ones. Ron Moore for one needs to cheer the hell up.

I like to see a scifi series sort of like Avatar in that it just focuses on 1 alien world
by Rebel Scumb
But really fleshes it out in every detail. An expedition lands there and spends 5 years exploring, interacting with the native races both hostile and friendly. Strange occurences abound, division with the expedition team. You could work some shades of Lost into it, but instead of an island its a whole mysterious new planet. Maybe a bit like Earth2, but much much better, and a more interesting locale then a barren wasteland. Something really high concept, and very alien. Like what Cameron did with Avatar, but with a less conventional story.

I greatly prefer insurrection
by Rebel Scumb
Its certainly flawed, but of all the TNG films, its the only one that feels sort of in keeping with the show. I don't feel Nemesis has any redeeming qualities.
April 13, 2011, 6:12 a.m. CST
I agree. Like I said its by no means great, but compared to the other ones...
by Rebel Scumb
It still feels closer to the TNG spirit then something like Nemesis, I mean afterall isn't the most common complaint about Insurrection is that it just feels like a long episode? But you're right about the bad comedy and whatnot, still really hoaky and out of place. First Contact to me is sort of how I feel about the JJ Trek, in and of itself its a decent scifi action film, it just doesn't feel very trekish to me.
April 13, 2011, 6:19 a.m. CST
Insurrection is harmless fun ...
by GINGE_MUPPET
Not exactly a selling point but it puts a smile on my face. Nemesis is confused ... it wants to be a bit bad-ass but never manages it ... The comedy feels very forced and the story is messed up. (Why do they never suspect that the new android is Lore???) ..... Like I said not the worst Trek disappointing ...

"Picard ramming the Enterprise E down Shinzon's ship's throat"
by spacehog
That was actually pretty good and unexpected. Unfortunately ruined when they then throw the Enterprise in reverse and the ships detach as though they're two cars on a road, and not big floaty things in space that would stay stuck together. I know Trek USUALLY handles ships as though they're two cars on a road, and normally I'm fine with a movie throwing physics/facts/whatever out the window if the story is made more entertaining because of it. But for some reason that moment, maybe because it came right after that unexpected highlight, really pissed me off.

"Insurrection is harmless fun"... which is part of it's problem. Never once i felt there was any real danger to Team Picard. The whole movie was just a nice pastoral nonsense.

I actually think less of Insurection then of Nemesis, to tell you the truth. At least i can recall who was the villain of Nemesis, i can't recall the villain of Insurrection at all unless i read about it in Wikipedia.
April 13, 2011, 4:05 p.m. CST
by GINGE_MUPPET
Fair points mate ... Both Insurrection and Nemesis were bitter let-downs after the energetic First Contact and as a huge Next Gen fan I will always feel they never really got the scripts or budgets they deserved. The vibe I get from Insurrection is the same vibe I get from Voyage Home, its Trek-lite, easy going with the focus on the cast having a good time. Nemesis wanted to be dark and dangerous and sadly failed. I find Nemesis a very hollow, depressing movie but that could simply be because its not the send-off TNG deserved.

"Problem is Nemesis wasnt a good ending for TNG"

So true. I know many never really connected with Picard and Co. but fuck me they SO deserved a proper end to their journey.

Well they had a perfect ending to Picard and the TNG crew...
by Rebel Scumb
it was called 'all good things' and really after that ending, what more needed to be said. Its one of the classiest and most suitable finales of any series i can think of. Hits all the notes, has the cool device of time travelling back to the pilot, brings back Q, has an interesting cerebral dilemma, shows a possible future for all our charcters, a nifty space battle And then that scene at the end with Picard joining the poker game... its all around solid. Part of the problem with the TNG films is they all feel tact on to that ending. TOS had the benefit of not having a proper ending in the show, and being cancelled as a young series then nearly 20 years of people waiting for more Trek, so the movies were well deserved, and thankfully really good (for the most part) I actually think the TOS crew work a lot better in feature films then they do as a TV series, where as I think the reverse is true of the TNG crew.

by GINGE_MUPPET
Great post ... Agree with all of that. The original crew do seem more at home on the big screen ... With the Next Gen only Stewart and Spiner looked totally comfortable ...
April 13, 2011, 6:36 p.m. CST
Yeah, the original crew focused mainly on Kirk/Spock/McCoy
by Rebel Scumb
And their forays to the big screen made good use of that, in the same way that Luke/Han/Leia are a good trio or Harry/Ron/Hermoine But with TNG, I always felt like all 7 main characters were equally important to the dynamic that made the show work, and as you said the films only really focused on Picard and Data. I guess the other thing is the budget/production value gap between TOS & the Kirk movies shows a really big leap, so they feel more cinematic, where as they made the TNG movies right after the show ended, so I think it was harder for them to make the films really stand out, and a lot of the things they tried just didn't work. I think destroying the enterprize D was a mistake also. In retrospect, that set/ship design was kind of a character on the show in and of itself, the Enterprize E just felt... I dunno just didn't really have a personality in the same way.

Imagine Galaxy Quest had been Star Trek 7?
by Rebel Scumb
Same basic premise, but with Shatner, Nimoy and the rest, playing themselves at a convention, then wisked away on some "real" space adventure. Sort of the 'wes craven's new nightmare' of trek films Galaxy Quest was awesome regardless, but that would of been really funny.

2 other proposals for possible Trek shows
by Rebel Scumb
Someone was commenting about how hard it would be to depict 30th century technology, and it would be also hard to create conflict or danger for the crew since even the TNG's technology made it hard for the writers to come up with scenarios the characters could get in trouble with but what if you took Singers scenario proposed in the article, but in the pilot the ship finds an older federation ship, or even a non-federation ship adrift that is hundreds of years old. Then due to some disaster aboard the modern 30th century ship, they have to beam over before their ship explodes. So you have a 30th century crew on a ship from say... like the TOS movie era, like the excelsior class ships. The other idea I had was to take the TNG concept of the huge 1000 person ship with families and whatnot, and expand that even bigger to a ship that holds say... 10,000. And its crewed by many different cultures, humans, klingons, romulans, cardasians, and a bunch of new races. And their mission is to travel outside of our galaxy, and they are expected to be away for 200 years, so its not really a starfleet crew, but entire multicultural society. It wouldn't be like voyager where they are stranded and trying to get home. This is a ship specifically designed to be away from the alpha quadrant for a century (Star Trek: Centurion?) and the show could even take place over many decades, with only a non-aging android character remaining constant, while entire generations come and go aboard the ship.

Actual TNG Movie Grosses
by tailhook
As opposed to the numbers the other guy put out trying to show Nemesis was anything but a turd. Generations: $118 mil / $35 mil budget First Contact: $146 mil / budget N/A Insurreciton: $112 mil / $58 mil budget Nemesis: $67 mil / $60 mil budget You now see how Nemesis basically killed the movie franchise for 7 years. Star Trek(Abrams): $385 mil / $150 mil budget

Customizing the XDM Login Screen
XDM Greeter
In Suse 10.3 (gnome), xdm displayed the login prompt in a tasteful and dignified rectangle. In Suse 11.1, it uses a picklist of users with a gnomeish graphic. How can I cause it to use the previous style?
SuSE 11.1 does not use xdm
SuSE 11.1 does not use xdm by default, but gdm.
You can change this by editing the file
/etc/sysconfig/displaymanager - just replace the
line DISPLAYMANAGER="gdm" by DISPLAYMANAGER="xdm".
Of course, the "right" way to do this is via YaST's
editor for /etc/sysconfig (found under "System").
Cool, I couldn't find a sample/tutorial on XDM theming!
thanks for telling everyone which files do stuff with XDM, and the backgroun patten/image stuff was realy usefull!
do you know if/how you can define Alpha chanel (transparency) in objects - like the xlogin box for example?
do you know if XDM has a face/user browser that can be used for clicking on a user instead of typing a username, or will i have to hack XDM and past this feature from GDM for example?
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

It's a question that looms large for many people, especially on the heels of a half-decade economic downturn that was the deepest since the Great Depression.
"As the housing market continues its long road to recovery and normalcy, it's helpful to examine the big picture of where the market is now compared to where it was before the Great Recession," CoreLogic Research Analyst Thomas M. Vitlo writes in the group's September MarketPulse report.
He goes on to outline "normal" levels (an index of 100) for major housing indicators based on pre-recession averages, noting that while the current foreclosure rate (391) and serious delinquency rate (373) are high, both have fallen dramatically from their peaks.
"Total sales are still down about 25 percent from normal levels, and housing starts need to improve two-fold in order to return to normal," he adds. "The HPI (CoreLogic Home Price Index) year-over-year change rate is triple the market level, but this faster-than-normal growth is expected as the market comes out of the trough and continues to recover."
CoreLogic also shows that more than 2.5 million residential properties became equity-positive in the second quarter of this year and confirms that home prices are climbing. However, price growth is expected to slow as seasonal demand wanes and higher interest rates have a "marginal" impact on demand, according to the group's Chief Economist Mark Fleming.
Along with all this data, there's always an abundance of statistics with analysis from industry experts on home values, interest rates and long-term wealth.
In a September Special Study for Housing Economics of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), Michael Neal looks at homeownership as a key component of household wealth.
"Homeownership provides many benefits for US households," he states. "In addition to providing a place to sleep or eat, homeownership also offers an opportunity for households to accumulate assets and build wealth."
Neal also shows how the bust and recent recovery in the housing market impact individual household balance sheets, pointing to the positive effects of rising prices on an asset that is held by 67 percent or two out of every three households.
"Part of the reason why the primary residence is an important source of household wealth accumulation is because of its size on the household balance sheet," he explains. "The median value of the primary residence across all households (in 2010) was $100,000, the largest asset held by the typical household. In contrast, the median value of financial assets and vehicles were only $17,000 and $12,200 respectively."
I certainly agree with Neal that there is much more to homeownership than building equity. But I believe it goes much further than providing "a place to sleep or eat."
Owning a home allows you to put down roots.
When you own a home, you become part of a neighborhood and a community. When you rent, neighbors come and go whenever leases renew, but homeowners tend to stay put longer and build their nests.
There's also that sense of pride that comes with homeownership. After all, the property is yours. There's never a landlord to tell you what you can or cannot do with either the home or the land. Want to plant a tree or create new gardens for flowers and vegetables? No problem when you own a home. But, it's a sure bet that most landlords will likely frown upon digging up their land.
Indoors and out, our homes are where memories are created and shared with family, friends and neighbors.

"All of this would inform how we were treated in Wrath of the Lich King. After 70 levels, it could no longer be denied: we were movers and shakers, grand and terrifying heroes, the cream of the crop, the best of the elite. And Wrath would reflect that."
Digging through dog poop?
Eating pre-pooped nuts?
Pooping oneself half to death to recover said nuts?
What the hell kind of crop was i supposed to be cream of in Outland to earn that in wrath!?

I like what Anduin says to you in SW while doing the pre-Twilight Highlands quest chain: "Are you often sent to gather things for people? I suppose a hero's work is never done."
At least Blizzard recognizes that heroes still have to do the dirty work :p.
