Illegality of same-sex sexual activity[edit]
According to Section 53 of the Belize Criminal Code, "Every person who has carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any person ... shall be liable to imprisonment for 10 years."[2] It was argued in the challenge to Section 53 of the Criminal Code that homosexuality per se is not illegal, but any sexual act which is not the "sexual congress of a phallus inserted into a vagina" is illegal, including oral sex, anal sex between heterosexual or homosexual persons, masturbation, etc.[3]
Law against LGBT entry to Belize[edit]
Under Section 5(1) of the Immigration Act, "... [T]he following persons are prohibited immigrants – ... (e) any prostitute or homosexual or any person who may be living on or receiving or may have been living on or receiving the proceeds of prostitution or homosexual behaviour...."[4]
A challenge by Jamaican activist Maurice Tomlinson was filed in 2013 to the immigration ban in both Trinidad and Tobago and Belize. Tomlinson asked Jamaica, his home country to insist that the travel bans of these countries be removed based on CARICOM provisions for free movement of citizens of member countries. Jamaica refused, and Tomlinson petitioned the Caribbean Court of Justice asking leave to file the case with them directly.[5] In May, 2014, Tomlinson was granted leave to challenge the immigration laws of both countries.[6] In October, 2014, CARICOM joined the case as an interested party supporting Tomlinson's arguments.[7] On 18 March, 2015, the challenge was heard[8] with allegations that the immigration bans abridge the rights of free movement for Caribbean citizens contained in the Treaty of Chaguaramas.[9] On 10 June 2016, the CCJ ruled that neither Trinidad and Tobago nor Belize had violated Tomlinson's freedom of movement, dismissing his case. As clarification, the judgment noted that neither state can ban homosexuals from CARICOM countries from entering their countries due to their treaty obligations, "notwithstanding their laws that ban the entry of gays".[10]
Legal protections[edit]
The U.S. Department of State's 2011 human rights report found that,
The law does not protect sexual orientation or gender identity. The criminal code states that "carnal intercourse" with any person "against the order of nature" shall receive a punishment of 10 years' imprisonment. In practice[,] the law was interpreted as including only sex between men. The extent [in 2011] of discrimination based on sexual orientation was difficult to ascertain due to lack of reporting instances of discrimination through official channels. United Belize Advocacy Movement (UNIBAM), the country's sole lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender advocacy organization, reported that continuing harassment and insults by the general public and police affected its activities, but its members were reluctant to file complaints. There were no gay pride marches organized during the year due to UNIBAM membership concerns over the public's possible adverse reaction.[11]
In contradiction to the findings that the law applies only to homosexual men, testimony in the challenge filed by Caleb Orosco to Section 53 of the Belize Criminal Code argued that all sexual activity other than penile/vaginal sex is illegal.[3]
LGBT rights movement in Belize[edit]
Pressure from the United States[edit]
In December 2011, United States President Barack Obama criticised nations that persecute homosexuals.[12] In response, Belizean Prime Minister Dean Barrow reiterated that Belize would not change its laws.[13] He argued that the issue is one for Belize to deal with and if the U.S. wanted to punish states by removing foreign aid for continuing such practice, then "they will have to cut off their aid".[13]
Judicial challenge[edit]
In September 2010, the United Belize Advocacy Movement (UNIBAM) and its executive director Caleb Orosco jointly filed a case in the Supreme Court of Judicature of Belize challenging the constitutionality of the anti-homosexual laws with the support of the International Commission of Jurists, the Commonwealth Lawyers' Association, and the Human Dignity Trust.
The Catholic and the Protestant churches reacted negatively to this, saying that same-sex marriage would be next.[14][15] On 3 December 2011, the Council of Churches organized a "Take a Stand" rally to oppose the UNIBAM case.[16]
Counsel for the Church Interested Parties (CIP) (consisting of the Roman Catholic Church, the Belize Church of England Corporate Body, and the Evangelical Association of Churches) argued in January 2012 that UNIBAM had no standing to bring the case because, as an organization, it has no constitutionally guaranteed rights. Relying on Section 20 of the Belize Constitution, the court sided with CIP on 27 April 2012.[17]
Quoting the 2007 case Belize Telecom Ltd. et al. v The Attorney General of Belize and Belize Telemedia Ltd., Justice Michelle Arana stated that "[a]part from [instances when a person is detained] no representative action can be brought to enforce the rights protected in Sections 3 to 19 of the Constitution". Despite precedent from courts in Zimbabwe and Bangladesh, the justice did not allow UNIBAM to bring an action on behalf of its members.[17] In December 2012, Justice Arana granted UNIBAM "interested party" status, which is the same status given to CIP.[18]
The case was heard by the Supreme Court of Judicature in May 2013,[19] amid violence and death threats received by LGBT activists.[20] The Supreme Court's verdict was to be handed down on 27 July 2016,[21] but was delayed and rescheduled for 10 August, 2016.[22]
Public opinion[edit]
In 2013, UNAIDS conducted a survey of 773 Belizeans, ages 18 to 64. The survey found that 34% consider themselves accepting of homosexuals, while another 34% consider themselves tolerant of homosexuals.[23][24] Of all the Caribbean countries that were polled, Belize and Suriname had the highest percentage of acceptance for homosexuals.[24]
Church opposition to decriminalization[edit]
The Belizean Council of Churches held a "Belize Action/Family Forum" rally on 23 November 2011[14] to express its opposition to decriminalization as part of "an orchestrated plan of demonic darkness to dethrone God from our Constitution and open massive gateways to demonic influence and destruction that will affect generation after generation to come".[25]

If like myself you've been enjoying the hell out of Street Fighter IV on the PC this past week or two, you'll be happy to know a nice (Capcom-approved) modding community for the game has formed, and here today is a look at the most pleasing fruits of its labour, to help you get the most out of the title.
Street Fighter fansite Shoryuken, always with their ear to the ground, appears to be the hub for mods, so head there for all relevant info, to check out everything on offer now and in the future, and also for resources on doing your own work. Game Vixen Zone has some stuff up, too (all links are at the bottom of this article). Update: the mods have grown to several hundred in size; to better organize it all, the community has moved to a wiki; the link is at the bottom of this article.
Probably the lesser exciting of the two main sections of the modding community, but still very fun and hilarious, is the moveset swap mods. Pretty simple stuff: take one character's moves and swap them for another. Here's one of our favourites, what we like to call, "Chun-Balrog":
Note we strongly advise against using these online, not only for ethical reasons, but also because you will be booted off at some point, hurting the experience for all.
Next up is sure to get you more for your money: character skins. These give you virtually limitless possibilities in altering the appearance of a given character, to the point where you can even bring in characters from other Street Fighter games (like Alpha 3's Juli or III's Dudley), ones that've only been featured in other Street Fighter works (Decapre), or some from other games or forms of entertainment (God of War's Kratos, Shinobi's...Shinobi, wrestling's Hollywood Hulk Hogan, martial artist Bruce Lee, etc). A lot aren't so great, at least at this point, but some are damned impressive. You can check out our favourites in the gallery below, and another two in this video:
Note if using these online, the other player won't see the changes (though some say you can if they have the requisite applications installed, too); also be sure to backup all appropriate files beforehand.

The stay at Harrow Self Catering Room RP1 was great value - many times better than a hotel for the same price. The room was small but it suited my purposes. The kitchen was well equipped including plates and knives and forks, and use of an automatic washing machine was handy. I had almost sole use of the bathroom. Most of all, the housekeeper, Liliana was very helpful. The only concern for me is that as I am in my 60's, it is a bit of a walk from the station and at the end of the Bakerloo Line. Next time, I would probably look for somewhere closer to a station and closer to London city.
The bedroom was very clean and well decorated and smelled very pleasant. Pictures of the house were exactly in reality. So, I think that it is good value for money. We would like to come again.
Ein sehr schönes, ordentliches und sauberes Apartment, sehr schneller und freundlicher Kontakt zu der Besitzerin und zu dem Housekeeper, die immer sehr hilfsbereit waren!
Der einzige Nachteil ist die Hellhörigkeit im Hause selber. Man hört einfach alles: Dusche, Toilette, Gespräche, Türen, etc. Auch hatten wir Unglück mit anderen Gästen aus anderen Zimmern, die nicht nur sehr laut waren, sondern auch sehr schmutzig waren. Innerhalb von einem Tag waren die gemeinsam genutzten Räume verdreckt. Unser Tipp: gleich die Housekeeperin kontaktieren.
Останавливалась в квартире мама с ее подругой. Квартира в целом очень понравилась, недалеко от метро, уютная, не большая.
Немного далековато от центра, но общее впечатление это нисколько не испортило.
По просьбе, нам объяснили, как до нее добраться от аэропорта, куда идти и все такое. Так что, на поиски много времени не ушло.
Очень довольна общением и в целом всем ))
Great location to all major attractions and litttle but convenient lovely apartment for two with all kitchenware needed provided. Definitively, I recommend it!. The housekeeper Andrew is always happy to help.
Very good location, the apartment was clean and tidy,perfect for a couples, the housekeeper(Andrey)very friendly, we didn't meet Olga personally, but she resolved everything on time!
I'will recommend this property!
No sugar, yet tea and instant coffee.
No toilet paper.
The deposit was payed on my last day - how unfortunate because I do not just use 100 pound right away on the last day in UK.
they should consider depositum on the first payment, in order to refund the bank account. may be its standard procedure.
All in all - I am happy with the stay.
I and my wife stayed 5 days at Olga's apartments. I suggest to replace the mattress and to put the soap and disposable slippers. I suggest to change the ignition of the bathroom with another cleaner switch.
Our stay was quiet, no traffic noise
Was a lovely stay
Very clean and
Liliana the housekeeper always helpful and friendly.
Close to station and shopping centreally.

Angry workers, tenants, and politicians gathered outside the management office of Flatbush Gardens three days before Christmas to protest the three-week-old lockout of 70 maintenance workers who claim they can't celebrate the holidays because of a greedy landlord.
"For the first time ever, we've had to cancel Christmas," said Shawn Williams, a boiler technician and resident at the complex, who attended the rally with his young son on his shoulders.
The lockout followed months of negotiation between the Local 32BJ union representing workers at the 59-building, 2,500-unit complex — bounded by Foster Avenue, Brooklyn Avenue, Newkirk Avenue and Nostrand Avenue — and owner Renaissance Equity Management, which is demanding a 34 percent pay cut — from $18–$20 down to $12–$14 per hour — plus an employee contribution of roughly $100 a month for health benefits.
Local representatives from the neighborhood and beyond were on hand to drive home the point that the lockout is ruining the holiday season.
"We wanted to do this just before the holidays to embarrass the owner," said Assemblyman Vito Lopez (D–Bushwick).
But the complex owner Holdings blamed the union for the Christmastime lockout.
"It took the union two months to come to the bargaining table and then an additional eight months to reach an impasse," said spokesman Richard Rubenstein.
The proposed pay cuts are considered by some to be par for the course from a company that doesn't seem to care about the property it owns.
"What the owners are doing to the union is an extension of what they have been doing to the tenants for a long, long time," said Councilman Jumaane Williams (D-Flatbush).
The complex has been cited by the city for nearly 8,000 violations, including basements flooded with raw sewage, cockroach and rodent infestations, exposed wires, and missing windows.
Renaissance bought the complex in 2005 for $138,500,000, and has been marketing it to upscale urban professionals, urging them to move to East Flatbush to live in apartments being compared on the complex's website, http://www

Do I need a specific Tomcat 64-bit version to run on Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit? Or will the regular Tomcat 5 install exe work?
It sounds like you just need the 64-bit Java JDK only. If Tomcat is written in Java then its cross platform and the Java distribution is where the platform dependence matters.
I am currently running on Windows 2008 with 32 bit Tomcat 5 and 32 bit java with no issues, and no gotchas. To be more specific we are running a heavily used authentication module over the system so if it were problematic I would imagine we would know. We are running an instance of Blackboard in conjunction with 64 bit JDK however and they utilize a tomcat web server, so I would think this would work as well for greater scalability, although there may be some additional tweaking needed to make this work.

Heavy Louisiana Oil Premium to Light Widens on Refining Profit
Heavy Louisiana Sweet's premium to Light Louisiana Sweet rose as the profit for converting crude into distillate in the U.S. Gulf Coast increased.
The gap between the two oils widened 85 cents to $1.85 at 2:01 p.m. in New York, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The profit for converting two barrels of crude into one barrel of gasoline and one barrel of heating oil or gasoil in the U.S. Gulf Coast rose 59.3 cents to $23.11 today, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The margin has risen 31 percent this year. Heavy oils typically produce a larger proportion of distillate fuels and less gasoline than light oils.
Heavy Louisiana Sweet's premium gained $1.20 to $13.35 a barrel. Light Louisiana Sweet's premium to WTI widened 50 cents to $11.50 over the U.S. benchmark.
Thunder Horse's premium widened 25 cents to $11.25. Mars Blend's premium added 15 cents to $8.50. Poseidon's premium rose 5 cents to $8.30 a barrel.

ATLANTA (AP) - Legislation expanding Georgia's bullying law to

The legislation would prohibit students from bullying by sending

also prohibit bullying through social media sites when such acts

COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Robinul
USES: Glycopyrrolate is used with other drugs to treat a certain type of stomach/intestinal ulcer (peptic ulcer). This medication may help relieve stomach/abdominal pain. However, it has not been shown to be effective in healing these ulcers, preventing them from returning, or preventing other problems caused by ulcers. Glycopyrrolate works by decreasing the amount of acid in the stomach. It also slows the natural movements of the gut and relaxes the muscles in the stomach/intestines. Glycopyrrolate belongs to a class of drugs known as anticholinergics.
HOW TO USE: Take this medication by mouth, usually 2 to 3 times a day or as directed by your doctor.
The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. The manufacturer recommends that adults should not take more than 8 milligrams a day of glycopyrrolate.
Do not increase your dose or take this drug more often without your doctor's approval. Your condition will not improve any faster and the risk of serious side effects may increase.
Tell your doctor if your condition persists or worsens.

Everyone remembers a special salad that showed up at family gatherings year after year. Maybe in your family, it was a classic Waldorf studded with celery and crunchy apples, or a bowl full of iceberg lettuce drizzled with blue cheese - or perhaps an eccentric aunt always brought a Jell-O mold studded with pineapple and cottage cheese. Salads are an integral part of most meals. Fresh veggies and crisp greens provide balance to rich foods like mac and cheese, while creamy mayonnaise-based salads and slaws give great contrast to roasted and barbecued meats. Lunchtime calls out for some of your favorite salad recipes: potato salad, chicken salad, pasta salad, macaroni salad, egg salad - wouldn't your life be bleak without them? Consider learning to make your own salad dressings instead of defaulting to store-bought bottles - it's not only cheaper, but much more flavorful. Most, including basic vinaigrette, take only minutes to put together.See Popular Salad Recipes

PIERCE, Neb. (September 28, 2013)--Car enthusiasts and collectors from around the world converged Saturday on a small town in northeastern for the first day of a vintage Chevrolet auction, which includes about 50 vehicles with less than 20 miles on their odometers.
Bidding for the highest-profile vehicles was expected to begin around 11:30 a.m. Saturday in a field just west of Pierce, Neb.
An estimated 10,000 people were expected to attend the weekend event.
The collection belonged to Ray Lambrecht and his wife, who ran the Lambrecht Chevrolet dealership from 1946 until their retirement in 1996.
Lambrecht rarely sold cars or pickups that were more than a year old.
While most dealers lowered prices to move inventory, Lambrecht assumed the older cars would appreciate over time, so he stashed them in warehouses, at his farm and other spots.

Abstract. Amblyomma americanum (Linneaus) (Acari: Ixodidae), an important tick vector of human and animal disease, is not a competent vector of the bacterial agent of Lyme disease, Borrelia burgdorferi, although its range overlaps the geographical distribution of Lyme disease within the United States. A possible mechanism that could prevent acquisition of B. burgdorferi spirochetes from infected hosts is the toxic effect of A. americanum saliva on B. burgdorferi. The data presented here indicate that after 24 and 48 h of exposure to A. americanum saliva, significantly fewer B. burgdorferi were alive compared to treatment controls as assessed by spirochete motility under dark-field microscopy and resistance to the dead stain, propidium iodide. After 48 h, fewer than 13% of saliva-exposed B. burgdorferi were alive. In contrast, significantly more B. burgdorferi exposed to Ixodes scapularis (Acari: Ixodidae) saliva survived after 24 or 48 h compared to A. americanum saliva or treatment controls.

Café Bleu
|Café Bleu
|Studio album by The Style Council
|16 March 1984
|October 1983 to January 1984
|The Style Council chronology
|Singles from Café Bleu
|Professional ratings
|Review scores
Café Bleu is the official debut album released by the English band The Style Council. It was released on 16 March 1984,[2] on Polydor Records, produced by Paul Weller with Peter Wilson. It followed the compilation Introducing The Style Council, which was released only in the Netherlands, Canada and Japan. The album was mainly recorded at Solid Bond Studios (owned by Weller) except for the strings which were recorded at CBS.[3]
Café Bleu was renamed My Ever Changing Moods in the United States to capitalise on the success of that single. Café Bleu included a large number of extra musicians, known as Honorary Councillors, including Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt from Everything but the Girl. The album represented a huge shift away from Weller's previous group The Jam and towards incorporating his favoured elements of classic soul, jazz and rap.
It was included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
Critical reception[edit]
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave the album four and half out of five stars and wrote that "Café Bleu was one of their better efforts, but it indicated the group's fatal flaw -- a tendency to be too eclectic and overambitious." also noting that "Amidst the lazy jazz instrumentals, many of them courtesy of Mick Talbot, Paul Weller inserted several solid soul-tinged pop songs, including "My Ever Changing Moods," "Headstart for Happiness," "You're the Best Thing," and "Here's One That Got Away."[4]

Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict
An outbreak of military conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh
Recent Developments
Nagorno-Karabakh—the disputed border region between Armenia and Azerbaijan—faces an increasing risk of renewed hostilities due to the failure of mediation efforts, escalating militarization, and frequent cease-fire violations. Over the past several years, artillery shelling and minor skirmishes between Azerbaijani and Armenian troops have killed dozens. In early April 2016, fighting resumed in violation of the 1994 cease-fire, reportedly killing more than sixty people. Prior to this incident, Azerbaijani forces had shot down an Armenian helicopter in November 2014, and cease-fire violations continued at a steady rate throughout 2015.
Although 95 percent of the Nagorno-Karabakh population is ethnically Armenian, the territory is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan. When the two countries were incorporated into the Soviet Union, tensions over the territory remained muted. However, as Soviet control over its satellite states weakened in the 1980s, hostilities flared once again. A six-year war erupted after Nagorno-Karabakh tried first to formally join Armenia and then declared independence in 1991. After a cease-fire was brokered by Russia in 1994, the territory was largely left to govern itself autonomously.
After remaining a frozen conflict for more than a decade, tensions again rose as both sides accused each other of repeated cease-fire violations. Negotiation and mediation efforts, primarily led by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Minsk Group, have failed to produce a permanent solution to the conflict. Russian-mediated peace talks have also not resulted in any concrete steps toward de-escalation.
Without successful mediation efforts, cease-fire violations and renewed tensions threaten to reignite a military conflict between the countries and destabilize the South Caucasus region. This could also disrupt oil and gas exports from the region, since Azerbaijan is a significant oil and gas exporter to Europe and Central Asia that produces more than 850,000 barrels of oil per day. U.S. economic interests may then be harmed and a spike in the global oil market could arise.

I'm trying to install the stats plugin, but no matter what I do I can't get it to activate. I'm using the newest version of the plugin (1.1.1) and the newest version of the WP. The only other plugin I have active is akismet. I'm using the same API key that Akismet says is valid. But when I put in the API key on the stats activation page, it doesn't do anything. I hit save and the page just resets, it doesn't save the key.
I opened up stats.php and even pasted the API key in there where it says to, but this is what the WP page says after I do that:
The WordPress.com Stats Plugin is not working because it needs to be linked to a WordPress.com account.
An API Key is present in the source code but it did not work.
I KNOW the API key is correct or else Akismet wouldn't be working.
I'm using this plugin on other WP blogs on the same server and have never had this problem before.

Tea, coffee, chocolate, avocados, and fatty fish all have good-for-you qualities.
We all know that spinach and carrots are good for us, but would you believe that such seeming indulgences as tea, coffee, chocolate, avocados, and fatty fish also have properties that prevent disease and enhance your health?
It's true. Some of these five "superfoods" contain antioxidants, which are thought to fight the damage from disease-causing "free radicals" (unstable molecules that damage cells). Others have omega-3 fatty acids, which promote heart health and may even help to cheer you up when you're down in the dumps.
Here's a rundown on how these five foods can benefit your health.
Topping the list of surprising superfoods is tea -- any type that comes from the leaves of the plant Camellia sinensis, including black, green, white, and oolong.
Many studies have looked at the health benefits of tea. While the jury is still out on some of these potential benefits, there appears to be compelling evidence for tea's ability to reduce the risk of heart disease.
"There are some intriguing studies that tea may prevent cancer, reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease, and impact halitosis [bad breath], and while these studies are more speculative, the strongest evidence is on the reduction of coronary heart disease risk," says Tufts University researcher Jeffrey Blumberg, PhD.
Tea's secret ingredient is catechins, a type of flavonoid from the family of disease-fighting antioxidant phytochemicals that is also found in fruits, vegetables, and red wine.
Not just any cup of tea will provide you with a healthy dose of flavonoids. Strong, steeped tea is richest in these phytochemicals. And the longer you steep your tea, the more of these healthy extracts your beverage will contain.
Because iced tea is typically diluted, it's not as good a source as hot tea. Bottled teas start off with low levels of flavonoids, and tend to lose potency over time. Decaffeinated tea is a good option, though it has about 10% fewer phytochemicals than tea with caffeine.
So how much tea should you drink? Some studies have suggested that drinking three cups each day can reduce your risk of heart disease.
Blumberg suggests choosing tea whenever you can. He points out that it can contribute as much antioxidants as a serving of fruit or vegetable without the calories, and is far preferable to soft drinks.
If you add sugar or full-fat milk to your tea, do so sparingly. These additions can turn naturally noncaloric tea into a high-calorie beverage.

"The Void" is the 14th episode of the seventh season of Star Trek: Voyager, the 161st episode overall.
|This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. (October 2015) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
As Neelix serves a meal which Seven has prepared for Janeway, Chakotay, Tom and B'Elanna, Voyager suddenly experiences turbulence, and is pulled into a portion of space in which no matter exists, aside from that which is pulled inside via spatial funnels. This area of space has such been dubbed "the Void" by its inhabitants. Still in the mess hall, Neelix and a crew member realize an approaching ship has opened fire and that they are under attack.
Another ship approaches and fires on the attacking ship, but then proceeds to fire on Voyager, taking down her aft shields. As the attacking ship transports supplies and deuterium from Voyager, Janeway orders the attacking ship's engines to be disabled. But it is too late, and the ship jumps to warp. Another vessel approaches, but does not initiate hostile action; instead, it hails Voyager, and the captain of the ship compliments Janeway for fighting off her attackers.
General Valen, the captain of the friendly ship, comes onboard Voyager, tells her why she was attacked, where they are, and the nature of "the Void". He offers to trade with Janeway for Voyager's photon torpedoes, but Janeway tells him that they do not trade weapons because they do not know how they will be used.
Seven of Nine devises a plan to propel them out of the Void and back into normal space. It is, however, risky and complicated. As Voyager implements Seven's plan and nears normal space, the ship is thrown back into the Void, causing a significant amount of damage to ship systems. With the warp core offline and supplies running low, Janeway orders their attacker to be found, so that they can retrieve their stolen supplies.
When Voyager finds their attacker, the ship has been badly damaged. There are no life signs aboard and all technology and supplies have been "picked clean". Seven of Nine states that not everything of value has been taken: the casing of the warp core is made of an element that can be converted into a power source.
Inside the casing, Seven and B'Elanna find an injured humanoid. He is taken to sickbay, but he is afraid and he refuses to allow the Doctor near him. Although hurt, he has a voracious appetite.
Voyager tracks down General Valen, the previously friendly captain, and disables his shields. When he does not return what belongs to them, Janeway contemplates taking more than what is theirs. Janeway goes to her ready room for coffee when Tuvok and Chakotay report; their inventory shows that they recovered less than half of what was taken.
Chakotay points out that they may need to start stealing to survive. Janeway attempts to find a loophole in the Federation charter condoning such tactics, but finds none. She decides against theft and suggests they form an alliance, where they would pool their resources, protect their allies, and "ultimately get the hell out of this place."
Janeway and her officers tell a captain Garon and his Nygean crew of their strategy, noting the benefits and the rules of an alliance. She asks him to consider it and offers complimentary food and medical care to him and his crew.
Seven notifies the captain that her phase compensator has been stolen. Janeway tells her that it was not stolen, but given to a prospective member. Seven says it is inefficient to give things away. However, Janeway retorts that Seven gave up some of her replicator rations to feed Fantome. As Janeway leaves, she turns around and apologizes playfully to Seven for "giving away her favourite phase compensator."
Seven goes to sickbay where she finds the Doctor and the now named humanoid, Fantome, listening to music. Seven realizes that he can hear and tries using sounds and instruments to instruct him to pick the instruments up. It is determined at this point that Fantome's species is probably native to the Void.
Neelix prepares B'Elanna and Tom a meal, but they are called away early when all senior staff are ordered to the bridge. The ship is set on red alert because a Hierarchy survey ship has just come into the Void and is under attack by General Valen. As Janeway orders weapons targeted on Valen's lead ship, Valen hails Voyager. Janeway tells him they will protect the Hierarchy vessel, but Valen tells her he has a crew to feed and opens fire on Voyager. Voyager fires photon torpedoes but only reduces Valen's upgraded shields to 80%. Whilst Voyager is sustaining damage the Nygean ship approaches and fires on the other two attacking ships, forcing them to retreat. Garon hails Voyager and declares, "I have decided to accept your offer."
The Doctor takes Fantome, now no longer a patient, to the mess hall. A prospective alliance member named Bosaal, becomes agitated upon seeing Fantome, telling Janeway his species is vermin. Janeway offers to remove those lurking on his ship and relocate them to Voyager.
Around this time Janeway notes that their alliance has produced a new benefit for Voyager. Alien technology has upgraded their replicator systems, allowing a vastly larger amount of food to be produced from the same amounts of energy.
B'Elanna and Garon run a test that does not go successfully. When all seems to be going well, a part of their makeshift polaron modulator explodes. Loquar, captain of the Hierarchy crew, and his assistant, spy on Janeway talking to B'Elanna and Garon as Tuvok walks in. He remarks that they managed to break his security code, and reminds them they should not be spying on members of the alliance; however, as members of the Hierarchy, spying is second nature to them.
Several members of the crew observe Fantome and others of his kind developing a language with small programmable devices that play music.
In engineering, Janeway learns that a functioning polaron modulator has come from an act of piracy. She orders it and Bosaal removed from her ship.
Talking to Chakotay, she realizes that they should have never allowed Bosaal to join their alliance. The two enter Astrometrics, where Loquar and his assistant reveal Bosaal and Valen talking about a prospective raid on Voyager. Janeway notes somewhat ironically that she should never have explained the value of co-operation, as the hostile aliens are forming their own alliance against Voyager. Tuvok believes they will attack within the next few hours to steal the ship's food and supplies. Janeway prepares to leave the Void as soon as possible, so they will not have time to run a test on B'Elanna's polaron modulator.
Janeway enters sickbay where she tells the Doctor that they will soon be leaving. She says if they would like Fantome and his kind to come with them, then they are welcome. The Doctor communicates with them, but they reply that they would like to remain in the Void. They are grateful and would like to help them now.
Janeway and the alliance fleet prepare to leave the void when the funnel begins to form. Bosaal and Valen's ships, however, have now opened fire on the fleet. Janeway orders all ships to return fire on their designated targets. Once shields have been penetrated, the Doctor and Seven beam Fantome and his friends to the enemy ships. Janeway tells B'Elanna to hurry the modulator online.
Both enemy ships slow to a halt. Voyager receives a hail from Fantome and his friends, telling they have disabled both ships's engines. The alliance fleet activates the shield modulator, traverses the funnel, and jumps to warp, where they successfully exit the Void.
Janeway says her goodbyes to her friendly alliance, remarking to Chakotay that it was almost like being part of a Federation again.

We cut 2-3 cases of potatoes everyday seven days a week, and our guys are gentle, but this cutter just keeps on moving. One of our cooks even ripped it off the wall one time and it didn't break. Four years later and over 300,000 pounds of potatoes later we felt it was time for a new one.
Tony E. from Brickyard Posted on 06/11/2016
We have been very happy with this fry cutter. For our home fries. We have the wall rack so we have it mounted on the wall.
Patricia H. Posted on 01/06/2016
Buy anything other than Nemco and kiss that wasted money goodbye! Nemco is the best fry cutter I have ever used. We have gone through almost 25,000 pounds of potatoes with this item....not one problem! Tip: Always check bolts for tightness and get the wall mount piece!
Brian R. Posted on 09/10/2015
Far superior to the other less expensive cutters. The optional wall plate is a nice feature and the install was quick and easy. Our previous cutter lasted about 9 months, I expect this will last longer.
Travis P. from Meadowlark Public House Posted on 05/19/2015
We love this fry cutter! We retired a different model after many, many years in service. This cuts medium sized potatoes with ease for our hand-cut fries. The rubberized grip makes using this unit more comfortable, and it mounts nicely with the wall bracket. We cut the fries directly into a bucket! Nothing beats a hand-cut fry, and this cutter is the best one we have used.
Nicholas T. from Nickel's Pit BBQ Posted on 02/27/2015
Why pay for high price frozen fries? Get this nemco fry cutter and save $$$. Also bought the mounting plate so it is easier to clean.
Bill D. from Ed and Sharon's Restaurant Posted on 12/07/2014
This cutter is heavy duty - solid unit - works like a charm - saved money with this item from day one & you can actual get new parts hassle free !
Mike R. from mike rawluk Posted on 11/21/2014
This has been a hit in our Pizza shop, we already had the Nemco curly fry and wedge cutter so this is a great addition to fresh cut potato offerings
John H. from Harts Repair Service. LLC Posted on 10/27/2014
PROFIT.......need I say more? This Nemco Potato Cutter makes awesome Fresh Cut Fries. Using this product assisted us in being known for our "Fresh Cut Fries" which became the number one seller on our menu. Great tool to use. Obvious, use extreme caution when cleaning blade, use a brush.. After almost 4 months of use and several pounds of potatoes cut, blade is still sharp. Thanks Nemco, your product was worth every penny!!!!
Rene H. from Krazy Kitchen Posted on 09/16/2014
We love our fry cutter! We bought this to use at home and we use it way more than you would think. I like to peel and cut up my potatoes and other veggies on Sunday for use in meals the rest of the week. This is also great for cutting uniform pieces when dehydrating or canning. Do yourself a favor and buy the bracket that hangs on the wall for easier cleanup.
Kristy R. Posted on 06/16/2014
I have bought knock offs of this item from ebay before. The original Nemco cutter is the best way to go. Not only a huge price difference but with this item you truly do get what you pay for. The craftsmanship is great.
Roger S. from NORTH SIDE GRILLE Posted on 09/25/2013
I would highly recomend this cutter it has held up under heavy use and hasd exceded my expectations. It is a great buy for the money. Bob Bostwick Owner
Robert B. from Biscotti Winery LLC Posted on 09/12/2013
Received the product the very next day. Very easy to install and use. There is minimal parts to remove when cleaning and easy to put back together.
Cheryl B. from Tailgaters Toot n Tell Posted on 06/10/2013
The best french fry cutter on the market. It is very easy to push potatoes through the cutter, one hand even. If purchased with the mounting piece very easy to clean.
Christopher D. from Ckd Restaurants, llc. kitchen Posted on 05/04/2013
This thing is great. I feared that it would be difficult to clean but as shown in the picture I've provided, you can simply remove the cutblade attachment and it's really easy to clean. I highly recommend that you mount it on a wall (with wall hanger 55641 if you want to remove it easily). I doubt it works with sweet potatoes since it still requires quite a bit of effort with large russet potatoes that are quite firm. The blade is super sharp on one side only which is great. My initial thought was to get a cheaper unit but the short stroke on this one is great (see other picture) I thought it would be overkill for home use and some would say it is but it works great and my kids will inherit it! Now, I'm tempted to buy a few more cutblades to go with it... wedger and 1/4".

If you pride yourself on making homemade french frys. this is a must have product because of how easy to use it is and how fast you can make home made frys.

This is a great fry cutter. Considering our french fries are one of our top sellers, Nemco has really helped us our with this nifty tool.

I have to say I have been pleasantly surprised by how well this product has worked. It slides down with ease and it cuts the french fries cleanly every time! Great product!

Talk about french fries and the first thing that comes to mind is "fresh cut" With this awesome french fry cutter you will quickly be known for the best french fries in town! Easy to mount and use!!

Works great! We cut over 100 pounds of huge Russet potatoes with it. Works great no complaints. Looking to purchase some accessories for it now.

The best price I have found on this very important piece of equipment! It's essential for our homemade fries and I always have an extra on hand for our four restaurants. Never buy a fry cutter anywhere else.

We just started recently cutting our own fries to increase profit margins. We have a cheaper version that we used for awhile, and just recently switched to this one. I can't say how happy I was when we started using this. It works so well, and fast too. Makes perfect fries every time.

A must have in the kitchen and home use. I've used this french fry cutter for a while and I have not been let down yet.
Danny D. Posted on 12/16/2011
This is a great french fry cutter. It is well built and will not break even after thousands of potatoes cut. Thus cutter is easily mounted on a counter.

excellent. works great. easy to take apart to clean. bought the wall mount and mounted it on cutting board so it becomes mobile for us

This is the perfect fry cutter for a medium volume restaurant. The fact that it has a slide mounting unit makes cleaning easy. It is a much better unit than the "fry cutter" model that is available on this site.

Cutting french fries just got fun! Seriously, I almost couldn't stop when showing a new prep guy how to use this. There IS a difference in design versus the "standard" ff cutter out there. Must be the short-arm design. Cutting potatoes took virtually no effort.
Larry F. from Chef Dave's Catering Posted on 07/19/2011
I am very happy with this product. Easy to use and care fore. Have just started to use it. I recommend new users lubricate with mineral oil before first use and ABSOLUTELY wall mount if in any way possible. If not, needs a fixed or clamped horizontal surface for best leverage.

Easy to use and clean. Large and small potatoes are quick and easy to cut. Sweet potatoes are not easy but they are hard for any cutter. But this baby will cut a large russet with very little effort.
Harold O. from Hahnemann Health Posted on 10/08/2010
This has been a great purchase.. We started using it immediately and our french fries have come out perfect every time. we found that if you trim the bottom first they cut much easier.
