Lovely venue when you first arrive, but it all goes downhill from there. Tend to agree with all the other negative reviews about this place. It's clear that the place is focused solely on making money. Set menu of £28 was way overpriced, and the food was average. Drinks were equally as expensive and the staff are unfriendly and rude. We were all crammed onto one long table, and once we finished our meal (we were rushed into finishing 3 courses in about an hour and a half), they told us we had to move to the bar, where there was no space to stand. They then ushered in the next group of unsuspecting souls who will no doubt have received the same terrible service and dead average food. 15% service charge was also extortionate. When I queried the service charge, I was told that "yes it is optional for you, but if you don't pay it, someone else at your table will have to". Also, it probably shouldn't be called 'service' charge when clearly there wasn't any proper service. The place has such potential, but I won't be going back any time soon and wouldn't recommend it.
I don't even want to give this place a star. If I could - stars, then I would. I had organised a Christmas party and provided senior management with a guest list as instructed. We had a table booked for 6 people for dinner and then around 20-30 people were going to join us for drinks after in the club. This was all approved well in advanced by management. We turned up for dinner to be greeted by very arrogant staff members. Food was ok, absolutely nothing special. My boyfriend had the soup and it wasn't even 2 mouthfuls, it was ridiculous how small the portions were! I use to work in hospitality and the service was appalling by all standards! I asked for a jug of water 3 times and then they came back and only topped up the water glasses, they cleared plates while people were still eating, it took ages to get one of waiting staff's attention and when you did, they looked at you in a disgusting manor. No friendly smiles anywhere. Menu options were uninspiring and boring. When we were in the middle of dinner, we then got a call from our other guests to say they were not letting people in, even though we had a guest list! My boyfriend went to speak to the manager to discuss the issue, however he really didn't care and was as arrogant as they come. I then asked the lady at the front door if I could go outside to talk to my boyfriend (as he was outside making calls re-arranging the whole night) and she told me the bouncer would put a stamp on my wrist, which is fair and understandable. However when I came back in, she asked me for an admission fee. I showed her my stamp and she looked at me blankly and asked again for an admission fee to which I explained that I had spoken to her less than 5 minutes before and I only went outside to talk to my boyfriend as well as having a table in the restaurant. AGAIN she looked blankly at me as if I was talking Chinese... I then explained again, obviously talking slowly so she can understand and thank god she finally got it! We then took all our guests to the Kensington club over the road. Everyone from the door staff to management were brilliant which is just what we needed! I also learnt the system at Bodo Schloss, the staff get a guestlist of there own, if you are important ( Prince Harry) or a free loader who knows the staff, then you can get in. The real money people, actual customers get nothing and treated with total disrespect. It's a shame, as a PA to a CEO to a very well known company, I can tell you now that I would not recommend this place to clients, colleagues and even senior executives or even other high profile PA's. I would love to see the management's respond to ALL the negative comments bellow as I am yet to get an apology myself.
Awful! Rude staff, over priced drinks, wish we'd not bothered.
Ridiculously expensive, I mean 6 Jaeger-bombs costing £66, I could of bought 6 Jaeger bottles for that price. Music nothing special, just a rip off. Another friend bought 8 shots, 8 bottle of beer costing £135. Come on
Bodo's schloss is the worst restaurant, the worst bar, And the worst club i have ever had the misfortune of visiting. No redeeming features whatsoever. If you want to watch c***s eat overpriced fondue while a depressed waitress dressed as an alpine caricature serves you poor quality vodka off a faux ski for £8.50 a go then get yourself down there. Jesus Christ.
Waiting at the bar to buy a drink after arriving, I was shocked to see the beers that were being poured with huge heads of froth, containing perhaps only 4 fifths of a glass of beer, for waitresses to take to tables. Hoping for the best I ordered 3 beers and 1 glass of house red to be landed with a bill for £24.50. Suspecting I had been overcharged I asked how much the beers were to be told a pint of beer costs £6.50. Yes, you read that right. From then on we ordered house red wine by the bottle for £19 a pop. To top it off the staff come round collecting glasses that still have beer in them... I wouldn't be surprised if I found out they recycled it to make a little extra money. And all this in an Austrian place.
The food was average and the portions small. Probably because the fat man with fireworks eats it all (and drinks all the beer), which would explain the need to mark up their prices so much. Also, they call lettuce, "shredded iceberg". That explains a lot actually. A couple of staff were very nice. Most of them the complete other end of the spectrum, to put it in the nicest way possible. First prize goes to the girl in the cloakroom. You should have seen the look of contempt on her face when I handed over my ticket to collect my coat.
I only hope people read these reviews before going here. Spread the message and perhaps we can save people's time and money.
Simply rubbish.
This place is terrible! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME and MONEY there After spending 1000 pounds on a meal for 17 people you would have thought that the restaurant would appreciate your company but no.... the bouncers threw two people from our group out on two separate ocassions. and trust me there were much more roudier people in the club that were still there. when we tried to stop them we found out that we werent the only group being treated so badly, others got a similar terrible customer service and got kicked out for no particular reason. when we all left the place we understood why our friends got kicked out - there is a massive queue and all they want to do is exctract as much money as possible from as many people. the waiter spilt a drink all over my friend and didn't even apologise, we also got pushed around by the waiters as they were 'transforming' the restaurant into the nighclub. the food was average and certainly not worth the money we paid. and one other minor detail they forget to mention on the website - the service charge is 15% on top of your bill. three words - AVOID this place!
Unhappy we were turned away we are (3 women in their 30's, professional, not under the influence) The door staff just didn't like the look of us. Embarrasing. I did however experience a good level of service at a private event. Good days and bad I guess but rather too early in their opening for any bad days. I don't care who the clientelle are.
I am so please other people are spreading the word about how totally awful this place is. I attempted to go here for a friends birthday - there were almost 100 of us - well dressed, young crowd. You'd think they'd be happy for the revenue we would be giving them. The birthday boys had been strictly warned about getting everyone in before 10 as we were on guestlist. However as we arrived at 9.45 the arrogant HORRIBLE door staff informed us that we wouldn't even be letting people think about coming in on guestlist until after 10.30. We tried to explain our friends had told us otherwise and i cannot explain how rude the door staff were, we literally may as well have been the sick on the floor that they were washing away (right next to us and yeah they did get some on our shoes). Upon returning with the birthday boys, the door staff again couldnt have cared less about getting us in and herded us into an enormous queue with everyone else on the guestlist - EVEN THOUGH WE HAD BEEN PROMISED WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO QUEUE. I wouldn't be so angry if we didn't have to pay to get in but they wanted us to queue up like students to get into their crap wooden cabin and then pay £15 just for entry. That alone should have given them reason to let us in - almost £1500 of our money without us even buying drinks. So we waited in the snow in our party dressed (as you have to be dressed particularly smartly here otherwise they would turn you away with a hand to the face) and froze to the point where i could no longer feel my arms or legs at which point i thought - why am i giving these awful, money grabbing, a**holes my money. So i left, and i assure you i will be spreading the word with friends and acquaintances and i will never be returning. After following up with the brave few that decided to queue up for over an hour an a half in the freezing cold to get into a stupidly novelty bar - they said that it was a shocking night and believe it or not the staff went from highly rude to tragically rude. I warn you now Bodo's Schloss - reputation becomes a lot in London and you are a novelty club. Unless you get new staff that don't have the longest metal rod shoved up their backsides and actually have a sense of what CUSTOMER SERVICE is then no-one will care you exist in a few months and you'll be putting up the 'for sale' signs before you know it. I doubt 1 of the 100people i went with last night would bother returning - so really you couldn't have put on a worse show. PEOPLE DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THESE PRETENTIOUS IDIOTS.
Over priced - arrogant staff at the fornt of house - I won't be back!!
Wouldn't give any stars if I could. Staff is just very rude and don't seem to be enjoying what they're doing, you won't get any smiles or banter there. Just zero customer service. Don't bother going. Based on all the reviews here, I don't think this place is going to last very long.
I never write reviews, but this place is horrible and so deserves a few bad things being said. The doorman - super rude but an excellent liar. Told us it was too packed inside and wouldn't let our group in (it was a Monday night... who goes out on a Monday night...? We were there for a leaving do... but who are all these other people who apparently do nothing on a Tuesday?). Of course, it was not super packed, not even packed. I could have cartwheeled through the middle of the place. The DJ doesn't take song requests because he is a serious DJ. So serious, that he is holed up in a grounded gondola with only his Mac and pre-set play list. But, seriously, don't even try to approach to ask for a song - he has a 95 lbs bodyguard who is pretty fearsome standing guard. The crowd.... if you're 17, idle rich, and think places are cool when people are rude then this is probably your place.
Do not go here girls - we had a very unpleasant experience. The rudest doorman we have ever come across works here and he ended up making one of us cry, he was so horrid to us. Totally shocking. Anywhere that employs someone like that as a front man has got to step up their staff interview processes (and get some disciplinary ones going or your reputation will very soon be ruined!)
Poor service, average food and extremely rude staff and management. Not worth the ridiculous prices they charge.
Had a much worst affair with them last week for my girlfriend's 30th party. Plan was to have a dinner for 20 people and another 20 people come join for drinks later to experience the dance floor. Couldn't have been a worst nightmare. Perhaps the early indications should have warded us to look elsewhere but we decided to stick on, having faith in them. We still regret spending our hard-earned cash there to this day. In summary, the organising part was made all the more difficult by different hostess having different 'management rules'. Had booked a table for 7.30pm dinner seating and told will have to book another drinks table if we wanted to stay on having a table throughout the night. Fine. Only that the table has a minimum charge of GBP100 per head. On the actual night the food orders were slightly mixed up (but bright side was that it came pretty quick) and at 9 we were kicked off our dinner table and to transfer to our drinks table at the disco area. Got to the disco area and was told the tables are not assigned yet and the disco doesn't start until 10:30pm but we could just temporarily sit somewhere whilst waiting and have our cake. Twenty minutes in, another staff member comes over and very rudely scolds us asking what we're doing as we can't just sit anywhere. Tried explaining we had booked a table for 10 people at 9:30pm and he said that's somewhere else...at the lounge apparently. After much fuss he let us sit where we were (probably because the other table wasn't ready yet). As for drinks, we had asked previously that drinks ordered at the bar could be combined on to the min spend of the table and they said yes. We even checked with the girl behind the bar. However, this caused an issue later with the 'table waiter' and the bar staff arguing because the waiter said the minimum spend table tab only allows purchase of drinks from the menu which are bottles of champagne and spirits (none of the advertised schnapps, beer or cocktails). To top it off, we had friends arriving queuing outside in the wet and cold and told they weren't allowed in because they're not on the guestlist (we were told there wasn't going to be one!). Overall one of the worst experiences I would come to expect from a place that is on the West higher end of town (plus additional price premiums). Clearly the management had no clue or set 'rules' and kept sending conflicting messages not only to the visitors but to their staff (as the bar girl was frustrated as well). Please spend your money somewhere else. The food isn't all that to rave about in the first place and the only thing that went well was the good music but that only lasted an hour or so. The management and staff are clearly not well managed/organised at all.
Was supposed to join a party at this place this evening and we had a table booking. I had to wait for half an hour with many people jumping the queue, before giving up and leaving. I spoke to the doorman before doing so and it was clear he had no idea what was going on. It is amazing how badly people behave when approaching a night club. If this is how management wishes to run their business, good luck to them, I won't be returning.
Food is OK (if you are into schnitzels), but the service is maybe the worst I've seen in London. Staff is not only slow, but when they finally arrive, they never have what you've ordered, to top this up they try to argue with you... & that's nothing compared to what happens when the place turns into a "club". Whoever put that night shift girl at the door should tell her that she doesn't get a penny every time she uses the word "honey", so she might want to lay off it a little. The staff behind the bar are lovely, however they can't really make most cocktails...however they will tell u the 1 or 2 cocktails they know how to make which makes your ordering faster indeed.. All in all an interesting place with cheery atmosphere. Not sure I'll be going back any time soon though...
100% agree with the NEGATIVE reviews. We were just stopping by for a drink before 11PM which is quite early and got turned away by the rude bouncer. Everyone who was actually getting into this place looked exactly the same, early 20's Caucasian blonde, i think the staff is a bit discrimintory against anyone who does not fit in this category.
This place is HORRIBLE, do not recommend anyone to go! I celebrated my birthday there last weekend, stayed for a dinner there and for a drinks and as soon as it converted to the club the stuff got really rude. They were pushing everyone, stepping on girls feet and once my friend asked them to be slightly more careful they kicked him out! I tried to speak to the manager and was refered to the doorman, some promoter who they call a manager, who didn't even try to help or listen to my side of the story. We ended up leaving the place by 11 pm and never ever plan to come back!!! Don't want anyone treat me or my friend like that especially for my birthday!
even 1 rating is too much for the place! after a booking for us and some friends we found that some of our friendwasnt let in. if that not enough the music sounded like to be fro a previous century. maybe if you still live in 20 years a go sound go there. although you wont be impressed more like depressed of paying expensive cocktail prices which weren't even average quality and being bombed with some really boring music that you your grand dad might have enjoyed that you realise this is one of those places with big marketing budget to make the place look good but it really Is horrible! they might pay a celebertiy to show up for a night to get in to papers(adds) but really they are poor ...... wouldn't recommend it to anyone!
Agree with Sophie, we turned up at 9pm for a friends Birthday and were told to return at 10.30 as it was full capacity. When we did return at 10.30 we were told the girls could go in but the guys couldn't. The guy who was deciding who could go in and who wouldn't was arrogant and on a power trip. Again it says those who take part in wearing traditional lederhosen, dirndl or mountain wear may entitle complimentary entrance. Once inside wearing dirndl's we were asked to pay and turned away by the people inside only to have to go back outside to show the guy what we were wearing to be told a password to use once back inside to gain the free entry! Door staff very rude and drinks over priced for what has the potential of being a really great place!
PLEASE DON'T GO, MASSIVE RIP OFF, THE MANAGERS ARE THE BIGGEST CON ARTISTS IT'S UNREAL, the place looks nice but if ur not spending or buying the amount they want, your OUT!!!
Good fun until at 9pm the taps go off and you have to pay £8 for a bottle of beer :-( But I guess that's Kensington prices.
We went for dinner here last night n had a very mixed experience - the food was actually very, as was the service and atmosphere until about 10pm, it then suddenly turned into a club, we wernt offered desserts or coffee and they practically kicked us off the table. Not before trying to round up a bill of £180 (which already included a 15% service charge) to £200, and getting no apology from the waiter when we realised just a look of discuss that we wouldn't pay it. We the tried queuing for the bar for 15 mins only to told rudely there was no vodka.. We would have stormed out, but unluckily we had put our coats in the cloak room so had to queue for another Half hour to get them back! Potential to be a great place but seriously need to sort out the details and the rude staff.
Visited this newly opened bar/restaurant last night with some friends. The concept of "Austrian ski lodge" is fun and the atmosphere was buzzy, although at times it was a little hard to hear our conversation. We were seated in the restaurant area, where we were served by waiters in lederhosen - very kitsch! While the food is tasty and not extortionately expensive, the portions are certainly on the small side - not what you would expect from a Germanic themed venue where you would imagine hearty plates of comfort food. I ordered the house dumplings and sausages, and it was nothing like the sort of food that you see in central Europe. The sausages were tiny, like chipolatas, and the dumplings were stuffed with some kind of mincemeat and had the texture of dim sum, not the lovely doughy balls that you would expect. Having spent a lot of time in Germany & Austria (and being a big fan of the cuisine), I was a little disappointed. The service is not great. Bizarrely most of the table staff working that night could not understand English. My friend had asked for a side order of fries, which didn't arrive with the rest of our food. When she grabbed a passing waiter to ask where they were, he just looked at us blankly while saying in very broken English that he didn't know what "fries" were. We had a similar experience when trying to order some more wine from another passing waiter later in the evening. As an aside, when we did get to speak to someone about the missing fries - who did know what were talking about - he blithely said to us "oh yeah, I forgot to add those to your order"...... We were asked to vacate our table after a couple of hours because the next reservation was due - which we were expecting (although I still hate that). However, the person who asked us to move on (guy in a suit, possibly the manager?) was rude and dismissive. He said that we could go to the bar and when I asked him if there were seats available in there, he said walked off and said "no" over his shoulder. "Fine", we thought, "we'll get the bill and go elsewhere in that case". The bill arrives and with it is a whopping 15% service charge. When we try to explain to the waiter (whose English was better than most but which conveniently seemed to fail him during this discussion) that this was too much and that we weren't prepared to pay it, we were told that the service charge is not optional and that we have to pay up. Absolutely disgraceful. The impression that I got of Bodo's Schloss is that it is one of those venues that thinks very highly of itself without bothering to put in the legwork that is required to make it work. It is clearly trading on it's PR and "image" to attract the "right kind of crowd" (indeed, a minor member of the Royal Family was sat at table next to us) but, to me, this just smacks of arrogance and a lack of respect for the customer. Not recommended.

My friend organised my surprise 30th Birthday here and I had the best time ever.......staff were amazing, there was an impromptu 'Sound of Music' dance in the middle of the restaurant, where all the staff stopped what they were doing to take part!!!! Absolutely hilarious night, really cool music and massively recommended to anyone up for a lot of light entertainment and who has wants a kitch night our in London. Bodo's definitely doesn't take itself too seriously!!
Went to Bodo's last Friday for a friend's birthday and had the best time. Felt like I was back in St Anton....my schnitzel was delicious, great wine, yum cocktails, and spent the rest of the evening dancing like crazy! Defintely coming back ASAP!
I went to Bodo's Schloss recently with a few friends for my birthday and had the best night. We had dinner first and a very pleasant waitress who was dressed in traditional wear (as were most of my friends) we had schnitzel and schnapps and a big headache the next day but definitely worth it!
I hosted my best friend's 30th here on the weekend.....so much fun. We weren't expecting much from the food, as we had only really heard about the nightclub but it was brilliant! If you want fine dining then no, this is not the place but it was absolutely delicious and the waitresses and staff made the experience so much fun. We had booked a club table for straight after the meal and when the DJ started (I recognised him from Arts Club) the place kicked off - they did different shows throughout the night and the service was flawless. Absolutely loved it, if you love apres ski then check it out. xxxx
Such a fun place hidden away on High Street Ken! The decor, food and apres are all super authentic - with a really fun party atmosphere!! We danced well into the night - having the best time!! Being allowed to dance up on the booths and order cocktails in ski boots really gave it that ski party vibe! We will certainly be back!
Oops forgot to rate the below! 5 stars!

How to Become a Monk
There are a few unusual young men who have had enough of the materialistic world and choose to dedicate their life to the spiritual goal of Self Realization while serving as Hindu monks. Perhaps you are one of them.
There are one billion Hindus on the planet today, and by conservative estimate, there are three million swamis, sadhus and satgurus in India alone. The Swaminarayan order has over 800; Ramakrishna Mission over 700; the Bharat Sevashram Sangh has over 500. Other organized Hindu orders range into the thousands. Temples to the Gods of Sanatana Dharma are estimated at 500,000—with 1,000 in the USA. The priests serving in these temples outnumber those in several of the world's mainstream religions. While our order is small by comparison, its influence in the Hindu world is profound.
Guided by our satguru, Bodhinatha Veylanswami, successor to our founder, Sivaya Subramuniyaswami, and headquartered at Kauai Aadheenam in Hawaii, our order ranks as Hinduism's foremost traditional monastic order in the West, accepting candidates from every nation on Earth. Young men considering life's renunciate path who believe they have found their spiritual life in Saiva Siddhanta are encouraged to e-mail Satguru Bodhinatha, sharing their spiritual aspirations.
We invite you, if you have chosen to follow an inner path of spiritual striving and religious service and are under age 25 (no exception to this age limit), to consider joining our order, the Saiva Siddhanta Yoga Order, composed of men from several nations and cultural backgrounds. Knowing God Siva and serving others is our only goal in life. Following the monastic traditions of South India and Sri Lanka, we live in monasteries apart from the world to worship, meditate, serve and realize the truth of the Vedas and Agamas, uplifting the world by our example.
Entrance is slow. The first steps toward acceptance for visiting the monastery are to enroll in our Master Course Trilogy Supervised Study, read our Holy Orders of Sannyasa vows document, and read our Hinduism Today magazine. After Satguru Bodhinatha receives your email, one of the swami monastics will communicate further, to get to know you better. If you qualify, you'll be invited to come to the monastery on Kauai island on a noncommittal taskforce program for up to six months, then return home and think over the experience. Note, you may not make plans to come until approval is given.
After your first visit, simple premonastic pledges are given for six months at a time for the first year or two. Renewable two-year vows of celibacy, obedience, humility and confidence are given until final lifetime vows, Holy Orders of Sannyasa, including the vow of poverty, may be given after ten to twelve years of training.
You may be inclined now to also read the history of our great lineage in our book, The Guru Chronicles.
Since our small monastic order is men only, women interested in monastic life may google other orders or ashrams that are for or include women, such as Mata Amritanandamayi centers, Sarada Convent in southern California, and Svami Gitananda Ashram in Italy.

About the above painting
Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami (1927-2001) and all the swamis, yogis and sadhakas have been captured in this Rajput-style painting by Vedasmriti Devi. The artist beautifully captured the monks at our Kauai monastery. We are all seated beneath the giant, 70-year-old banyan tree that stands just in front of our temple, listening attentively to the wisdom of our spiritual heritage. And, yes, we dress and work in Sri Lankan style handwoven cotton robes. Behind is the natural Nani Kaua pond and waterfall, among the most beautiful on the islands. Our cows and parrots, tropical plants, flowers and lotus ponds all share this special paradise. Aum Namasivaya!

Starfleet officer at Orion colony Edit
Does anyone know what exactly is on this officers shoulders, the supposed "braided epaulets?" I know it is not very visible in this photo, but if it is at all visible in the episode, it would be something to add to Starfleet ranks and so on no matter what it is.--Tim Thomason 15:07, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- Here's a screenshot of the epaulet that shows the different stripes of gold better. --Jörg 17:00, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
Re: Department color codesEdit
In the text below the images, there's a fair bit of speculation, some confusing wording and a subjective opinion. However some of the info is useful. Perhaps this merits some clean-up? (I would do it, but don't want to tick anyone off. I notice some people are rather touchy around here.) --Sasoriza 10:22, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
- I tackled it. There were notes about the "unfortunate" aesthetic quality of the later TMP beige uniforms (how off topic is that?), speculation about green dress uniforms (never seen in this era, but likely), speculation about a security department (security was never mentioned until after pilots, so why speculate), speculation about dress uniform colors (likely, but unsourced, they never appeared), etc
- Sorry if we can be touchy here, Sas - I can tell that you think so from your user page. I can tell you, some other Star Trek wikis I've been to have problems with touchiness, deletionism and elitism. All the admins of all the Star Trek wikis should work on that. -- Captain M.K.B. 18:17, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
- Much of this criticism and cleanup is well received. However, while "security" personnel were not specifically mentioned in either the Cage or WNMHGB, they were clearly seen performing such "guard" duties as duplicated by redshirts during TOS. e.g. guard stationed by the bridge door, guard holding the only weapon on a prisoner. Therefore, the distinction as canonically defined during this period to 2265 as to patch and uniform color differences is applicable. There were guards, they wore blue shirts with "support/operations" insignia. Speculation would involve theorizing why. --Dogg 23:33, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
- Disctinction should be made as to the variants of uniform division color and different division patch insignia. In particular, Command division colored uniforms are seen with operations/support insignia, particularly in the Cage. WNMHGB has support division colored shirts with sciences insignia and science division colored shirts with support insignia. Though speculation should be kept to a minimum, the disparities are clearly present and should be accounted for under canon explanations.--Dogg 23:33, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
Removed Edit
- "Montgomery Scott, Engineers and more than a few unlucky away team Ensigns wore red shirts."
I removed the above statement. It was written very informally and doesn't seem to belong anyway. If it does belong then it needs to be rewritten. – Morder 16:48, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
Background Info Edit
Needs an edit? Seems to be a copy of the 2266- uniform article. For instance, "The Cage" uniforms were not in use "in the third season". Joeloveland 16:58, November 6, 2009 (UTC)
Rank insignia Edit
The rank insignia noted here aren't entirely correct. The hash marks on the CPO insignia is more squared-off than angled (see here). Also, non-CPO enlisted stripes of some sort were seen; two crewman wore blue/gray stripes on their field coats, distinct from Colt's stripe-free sleeves (tunic, coat). Also, the insignia of full commanders once captains wear two stripes hasn't been established. --184.108.40.206 12:05, March 21, 2011 (UTC)
Rename Edit
I'm suggesting this page, and the few after it, be renamed to better reflect the time in which these uniforms were worn. "Mid 23rd century" covers entire decades, and we only know these were worn from 2254 to at least 2268. Since there isn't any "hard" date for the start and end of the time these were used, with 2250s being more accurate with what we know, I think the suggested title for this page would be a better option than what we currently have.
As for the other pages, since this page would be renamed, the pages after it would also be renamed to better reflect the changes here. The Early 2270s uniform would move to the "Mid 2270s", since the TOS uniform was used at least until 2270 and would be renamed to end with the loose date of "Early 2270s". Assuming that the arrowhead was used by all of Starfleet because of the Enterprise, it only makes sense that the earliest the TMP uniforms could have been used was after the ship returned to Earth, and we didn't see those uniforms until at least late 2272, so using "Mid" simply places it after "Early" but before "Late". The TOS uniforms would remove the hard date of 2265 in the title, as the previous style of uniform was still in use for years to come, making that pages tile start date "Mid 2260s". This is much the same reasoning that was used for the use of "late 2360s-early 2370s" for the DS9/VOY uniforms.- Archduk3 19:52, May 29, 2012 (UTC)
New Division Symbol? Edit
I recently took a look at the Cage HD, and discovered something I hadn't noticed before on the DVD ... there is a new division symbol that appears on two characters -- the guy with the clipboard who stands next to Pike on the Bridge in the opening, and the Security officer stationed at the elevator entrance (both of whom enigmatically interact with each other as Pike leaves). I had assumed it was the standard backwards "?" due to the lower resolution (and I did look). But this is clearly a unique "C" shape. If this is in fact to be included in canon wiki, should it be considered a division of operations, much like Nurse Chapel has a red cross medical symbol as part of sciences? The presumption here is that despite wearing blue shirts (as does Leslie in WNMHGB performing duties of Security), they are actually serving as support personnel, security, etc. I'm not exactly sure what the guy with the clipboard in the Cage does, but it's entirely possible he's a security chief. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dogg (talk • contribs).
Assignment Patches Edit
Following recent observations from the BluRay release, some changes to the Assignment Patch Cart are in order:
Most notably, is the addition in 2254 of the mysterious "C" division symbol, previously thought to be the operations backwards "?" on the lower resolution DVD images. This is seen only on two characters presumably serving the services of security, one guarding the door, and the other interacting with him, stationed next to Pike during "time warp" and holding a clipboard. He is seen handing Pike a sheet of paper, which Pike declines, and otherwise stands at attention.
The other changes apply to 2265 in which Kirk's Yeoman is seen wearing command "gold" but with a backwards "?" division patch, which is assigned primarily to sciences in WNMHGB. The other change is Leslie who seen guarding Gary Mitchell, wearing a blue Sciences uniform with what appears to be the "o" division patch, which in WNMHGB has been reassigned to Operations (makes sense). This also makes sense assuming Security in the original pilot also wore blue. In the lower resolution DVD this appeared as a backwards "?" division patch already in use as the new Sciences division patch. But this should be verified against a clearer shot in the bluray, as lighting could be obscuring the "tail" of the backward "?" sciences logo.
Therefore, I have updated the charts accordingly, and using the assumption that Security is a function of Operations, have included the use of that assignment patch under the correct department regardless of shirt color. So Operations spans blue and beige in this case. The Cage makes a bit more sense as Command gold has both operations and command patches, but it's a little less clear in WNMHGB since both gold and blue shirts wear both the Command and re-assigned to sciences operations patches. So best to assume as little as possible, especially since both patches appear on both colors suggesting command duties and science division duties were interchangeable, while operations division provided support only to the other divisions, and had no command duties? Or it's possible we just never saw such a combination. Either way, this represents the observed variations.--Dogg (talk) 22:04, November 14, 2012 (UTC)

My friends, the past month has been one of the most stressful periods in memory. Not "too-much-work" stress (the kind you can dig your way out of) but just "life-circumstances" stress (the kind you can't usually solve–you just have to slog through it).
You know what I'm talking about. You've been through stuff too, huh.
So the very worst thing you can do is eat SUGAR. You burn out your adrenal glands quickly that way. (The vast majority of us have stressed, overworked, even partially destroyed adrenal glands. And you really need those puppies to keep your mood stable through trials.)
So guess what we want when we're stressed? Comfort. Sugar.
Vicious cycle.
This winter, the "liquid coconut macaroon" has been such a godsend. I discovered this healthy hot cocoa that is so nutritious, at the beginning of the winter. My kids loved it so much, and I loved it AND its superfood ingredients so much, that I put it here in the store:
All I knew when I first ordered it was that it had no refined sugar (just low-glycemic unrefined coconut palm sugar) and non-dutched cocoa. I was ecstatic, though, when I got it, that it also contains four different types of mushrooms that are used as superfood medicine in China for immune system repair, cancer treatment/prevention, and much more.
If I feel the need for a treat, I make a mug of cocoa. The coconut milk powder is low in calories, delicious, and high in lauric acid and other compounds that are anti-microbial, anti-fungal, anti-viral, and anti-bacterial. The cocoa contains the mushrooms and chocolate. The whole mug is about 100 calories.
I seriously love this stuff and just went to make myself a mug, writing this–it's been my treat almost every day. Not just because it's yummy and healthy, and not only because it's chocolate (which has chemical properties women sometimes downright NEED), but also because there's something very comforting about a mug of something hot.
I am blessed to report that through some difficult times this winter, I have still never gotten sick. There was one day I felt about 50% and didn't go to the gym, but otherwise, that's it.
Stress we cannot always control. But what do you do to remedy it? Yoga is another way I've gotten through the past 18 months–also prayer, time with good friends, and "me" time doing things I love (tennis, skiing). Melatonin before bed so my racing brain doesn't keep me awake. Essential oils like peppermint.
Tell us your ideas. What natural things do you do, when you're stressed? Let's avoid "solutions" like Zoloft and Xanax that just cause other problems.

EVERETT — A majority of the Everett School Board has rated Superintendent Gary Cohn as meeting or exceeding its performance expectations and has voted to add another year to his current contract.
Cohn's contract now continues until June 30, 2016. He was hired in 2009.
"We're pleased with his work and want to do all we can to make sure he's around for three more years," said Jeff Russell, school board president.
Cohn has salary of $182,204, the same salary he will receive for the 2013-14 school year, according to Mary Waggoner, school district spokeswoman.
Board members meet with Cohn at least twice a year to evaluate his performance. His contract is reviewed annually to consider an extension.
Cohn's annual performance review was conducted by a three-member school board subcommittee of Russell and board members Carol Andrews and Pam LeSesne. The group met six times to discuss Cohn's annual evaluation.
Cohn's contract extension was approved as part of the consent agenda at the school board's July 2 meeting with board members Russell, Andrews and Ed Petersen's approval. Board members LeSesne and Jessica Olson were absent.
Russell said he thinks that the district is making significant progress in hiring minorities for teaching, principal and administration openings.
The board also is pleased with the academic progress made by Hispanic students on state standardized testing, he said. "We've had a marked jump in the percent of Hispanic students meeting standards," Russell said.
For example, 73 percent of 10th grade Hispanic students met the state's reading standards and nearly 82 percent met the state's writing standards in the 2011-12 school year, according to the state Superintendent's Office.
Rates dropped for science and math, although the district's Hispanic students performed above the state average. Twenty-seven percent of the school district's Hispanic 10th graders met the state math standards and 32 percent met the state's science standards.
Russell said the district also helped test a new teacher-principal evaluation system that is being implemented statewide.
"We feel we're ahead of many of other districts across the state because of the collaborative work done between the Everett Education Association and the administration when it came to the implementation of the pilot program," Russell said.

Although Microsoft has said the next Xbox won't be launching anytime soon, the rumor mill just won't quit.
Gaming blog VG247 is now reporting that Microsoft is hard at work on the next Xbox, and when it finally launches late next year, it'll come with a Blu-ray player. The device will also ship with two AMD GPUs, making it "like two PCs taped together," the blog's sources say.
Those reports aren't necessarily groundbreaking. AMD has hinted from time to time that it'll be Microsoft's partner in the next Xbox. Gaming blog Kotaku also said earlier this year that its own sources have confirmed that the next Xbox will launch with Blu-ray and not the DVD drive available in the current Xbox 360.

All the Deets: Christina Applegate's Stunning Wedding Ring!
Congratulations to newlyweds Christina Applegate and Martyn LeNoble! Check out their stunning wedding rings here.
-Lucia Peters
Janet Jackson wasn't the only celeb whose surprise nuptials emerged this week! Up All Night star Christina Applegate tied the knot with her longtime boyfriend, Porno for Pyros basist Martyn LeNoble, in LA on Saturday in a private ceremony. The couple has been dating since 2008; they got engaged on Valentine's Day in 2010. Congratulations!
But we know what you're really interested in: The wedding rings! Here, take a peek, courtesy of People:
Read Surprise! Janet Jackson Got Married… Last Year!
Neil Lane, Hollywood's go-to jewelry designer for celeb engagement and wedding rings, created Christina's sparkler to be "not a typical ring"—by incorporating her engagement ring with the wedding band. "It has a border of diamonds around it like a little sleeve," Neil explained. He continued, "We took her engagement ring and fit it in a sleeve of little diamonds to become one with the wedding band. It's platinum and diamond inset with tiny little diamonds everywhere." Martyn's wedding band is an unadorned platinum ring that pairs beautifully with Christina's diamond-studded masterpiece.
Christina and Martyn kept their ceremony small; only about eight people attended, including their two-year-old daughter, Sadie, and Martyn's daughter from a previous relationship, Marlin. The bride wore Maria Lucia Hohan (though we're betting that she skipped the wacky rabbit ear masks seen on the models on the designer's website).
Congratulations to the happy couple!

There's been so many of these questions. Look here: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...ing-guide.html
Hello there. Im pretty new to the scene
Stil, I know that i can compute/create worlists using tools like crunch and jtr.
But i need a fixed phrase at the start of every password.
like: "fixedph"
the the wordlist should look like
or something like that.
just the "fixedph" at the start of every line.
ist there any way/tool to do this?
please help.
There's been so many of these questions. Look here: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...ing-guide.html
That's simple with crunch, just search the forums and your answer will appear
So get your password list and do something like:
This assumes your base password list is called password.lst and is in the directory where you run the command.Code:for X in `cat password.lst`; do echo fix$X;done
To output the results to a file you can either:
(This simply puts all the new words in fixpasswords.lst)Code:for X in `cat password.lst`; do echo fix$X;done>fixpasswords.lst
(This puts the new words in fixpasswords.lst if the file doesn't exist and appends if the file does)Code:for X in `cat password.lst`; do echo fix$X;done|tee -a fixpasswords.lst
Note the single quote in the commands above is the one on your tilde key (top left of most keyboards).
I'm a compulsive post editor, you might wanna wait until my post has been online for 5-10 mins before quoting it as it will likely change.
I know I seem harsh in some of my replies. SORRY! But if you're doing something illegal or posting something that seems to be obvious BS I'm going to call you on it.
Also have closer look at using crunch with the -t option.
Theres also a way to do that with the mangling rules in john. Read the john.conf file and the rules help.
Capitalisation is important. It's the difference between "Helping your brother Jack off a horse" and "Helping your brother jack off a horse".

" Brand: Dolce & Gabbana / Type: Fragrance / Concentration: Eau de Toilette / Gender: for women "
* Prices may differ from that shownMore Offers
Many years ago I used to babysit for an adorable little baby whose mother had an absolutely amazing sense of style and who I longed to emulate "when I grew up"! One of the most striking things about her was how fabulous she always smelt so on day I plicked up the courage to ask what perfume she wore and it turned out to be this Dolce and Gabbana EDT (which I call red but which I think goes simply by the name of Dolce and Gabbana).
Obviously as soon as I could I rushed out to by myself a bottle so I could smell just like her...sad I know! But that was over 15 years ago now and I still wear this perfume on a regular basis so it was obviously a good choice!
It used to be widely available but rumour has it that it has now been discontinued and so I can currently only find it online. You can get it from the trusty Amazon for £33 for 50ml or £64.99 for the 100ml. As I am currently halfway down a 50ml bottle that I was bought four years ago I don't think I'd ever invest in the larger bottle, but if you go through a lot of perfume then it would probably be worth doing.
This perfume comes beautifully packaged in a vivid red box with has an almost suedette feel to it. It looks and feels very stylish and luxurious without being too ott about it. The bottle inside is a tall, thin, elegant looking thing which is mainly clear and topped by a gold band and again, a red lid. I don't normally like the brighter colours but I do really like this bottle. It looks timeless, stylish and classic whilst still being quite simple. The only wording on the bottle is "Dolce & Gabbana" in gold on the front. Although on the bottom there is a little sticker telling us how much is inside the bottle and that the glass shouldn't be disposed of "in the environment" after finishing.
In use the lid clips on very nicely and attaches itself firmly enough that it doesn't drop off in my handbag, leaving everything in there smelling of the perfume, but also not too tightly that it's difficult to get off. This lid covers the pump action squirty nozzle thing through which the perfume is dispensed. Again, this works well and dispenses a nice find mist of the perfume rather than in droplets or, even worse, a shower!
As soon as you take the lid off you can instantly smell the perfume. It is one of the strongest I've ever used and seems to permeate everything around it and linger for ages. For example, I sprayed some of this on last night before going out for dinner and I can still smell it when I walk into the bedroom this morning. It really does have tremendous staying power and longevity of strength.
As far as the fragrance itself goes, this is a combination of basil, tangerine, orange flowers, carnation, marigold and vanilla which is quite a surprise to me. From the list of notes blended into it I would have expected it to be sweeter than it is but to me this is a really quite spicy, oriental kind of smell and although you can definitely detect a hint of the vanilla coming through it's not too overpowering as I don't really like the smell of vanilla on it's own. I'm surprised though, that there aren't more spices included in this.
Whatever the ingredients are they blend perfectly to make, for me anyway, a perfect perfume for evenings, going out or special occasions. It's the ideal combination of muskiness, exoticism, sweet and spicy and I absolutely love it. I find it to be a really classic, sophisticated perfume (and one that I probably shouldn't have been wearing at one 18!) that makes me feel like a lady every time I wear it.
The only slight downside for me is how strong it is. While it is good to have a powerful, longlasting perfume, this one is so strong that I soon learnt not to actually spray it onto my wrists and throat but to spray a spritz of it in the air in front of me and then walk through it. If I do spray it directly onto my skin I can, literally, smell it until the next time I shower and whilst this isn't necessarily a bad thing, as I said it really is a fragrance better suited to evening wear and so isn't the best thing to be smelling of whilst doing the weekly shop!
In conclusion, I absolutely adore this perfume and have done so for many years. It's my regular perfume for evenings out or special occasions and even my husband now says he knows we must be going out if he can smell this perfume when he gets home! For me it's the perfect blend of fragrances that create something sophisticated yet wearable and it makes me feel special each and every time I wear it. You can always tell a good perfume by how many compliments you get on it and practically every time I wear it somebody comments on how nice I smell. I'll be devastated if the rumours are true and it is being discontinued but as it still seems to widely available on the internet I might add a bottle to my xmas list just to make sure I don't run out for a very long time!
** My Experience **
I received this perfume in miniature form as part of a gift set of miniature Dolce & Gabbana perfumes. I have to say that this was not my favourite perfume in the bunch simply because I felt that it smelled too old for me. I had not heard of this perfume before receiving it as part of the set, and I don't think the packaging did it any favours. This is just my opinion and some people may not agree but I found that the packaging looked quite classic, which meant that I immediately associated it with an older perfume for an older generation. Of course, I do not immediately judge a perfume by its packaging but combined with the strong depth of the fragrance it reminded me of something my Gran would wear.
** The Fragrance **
This perfume was first introduced to the market in 1992 and has been very popular since. The scent has a luxurious smell to it and is quite floral. It has notes of basil, orange flowers, tangerine, carnation, marigold and vanilla. This fragrance is not overly floral or citrus in smell but I personally found it to be quite strong. You certainly don't need to reapply it throughout the day as one spray will definitely last you.
** Packaging **
As I said earlier in the review, I personally found the packaging to have quite a dated look. The perfume comes in a cuboid shaped box which is quite a deep red/orange colour and has the brand name in black and gold on the front. The actual perfume bottle is very classically designed and is quite simplistic. It is cuboid in shape and is clear so you can easily see how much of the fragrance you have used. The actual spray part of the bottle is red with a slight gold band underneath.
** Price **
You can buy this fragrance for around £40-£45 for 50ml in most high street stores such as Boots, Debenhams, John Lewis and House of Fraser. You will probably be able to get it cheaper online though with most prices starting around £30-£35.
** Summary **
Although I personally found this perfume to be too strong a scent for me, this is purely my opinion and I am very picky about my perfumes so this will come as no surprise to some that I was so judgemental of this one. I personally feel this fragrance would be more suited to the older generation but again, this is purely my opinion and I apologise in advance if any of you young ones wear this!
I have quite a selection of perfumes and eau de toilettes which I've accumulated thanks to generous family members. This Dolce & Gabanna is the one I never use now because, however much I've tried to like, I really don't!
Like all D&G products this EDT is beautifully presented in a smart box inside of which is the smart glass bootle with a plain silver band and red perspex top which makes the product look expensive.
The good thing about it is that you can see exactly how much you've used (unlike, eg Nina Ricci's Air du temps etc) and the fact that it has a well designed spray - although I've found you can't dispense a fine spray, more of a squirt. This means, on the few times I've used it, I've used far too much which is a real pain if you're not keen on a scent.
When I first used it I noticed how blooming strong the smell is - it seems to hit you all at one so I couldn'rt tell what was in the scent. Apparently it has mandarin oils, marigold,orange, basil and vanilla but I couldn't detect any one ingredient as the EDT is very strong and it lasted longer on the skin than I'd have liked. I can never remember, in all my years of wearing fragrances, ever saying that!
Rather than smelling expensive ( about £30.00 for 30ml) I think it smells like a cheap fragrance because I found it harsh and headachy and was really disappointed as it isn't the classy/ classic perfume I'd expected it to be.
This, of course, is just my personal opinion as I do tend to go for the more subtle fragrances like Chanel & Dior. This is a best selling EDT by Dolce & Gabanna so maybe it's just me who has strange tastebuds - or perhaps it's more popular with women a lot younger than me lol!
I love my perfumes and was pleased to receive Dolce and Gabbanas perfume Dolce and Gabbana as a gift. The box alone is beautiful. Red and velvety, very luxurious. The bottle is plain but elegant, it's a tall plain bottle with just a red lid. Quite a contrast to the box which is really quite showy The actual perfume is quite dark and golden in colour. It sprays out in a fine mist and dries quickly on my skin.
The fragrance when it first goes on is really quite harsh and chemically and not very nice at all. This soon settles down to a more mellow flowery smell. D & G is a blend of tangerine, orange flower, carnation, marigold, vanilla and basil. The vanilla and carnation are really evident in this perfume which I really like. However after I have been wearing this for a couple of hours the smell becomes harsher, the floral tones are less evident and it seems to be more masculine. In my opinion I think that's the basil coming through, a very strange ingredient for perfume I think, but that may be just me. Although this is not unpleasant it is not the type of smell I like.
D & G advertise this perfume as "recommended for romantic occasions" totally wrong in my opinion! It has staying power and easily lasts all day. It costs £39.00 for a 50ml bottle although I'm sure this could be found at a lower price online.
I'm very pleased to have received this as a gift and I will use it but it's not one I would ask for or buy in the future. It's just not girly enough for me.
Dolce & Gabbana Classic Eau de Toilette for women was their first fragrance that they brought out.
I have had this perfume bought for me quite a few times in the past and still use it today although I don't use it everyday as I like to vary my perfumes. I find this one quite strong when you apply it and it seems to last quite a long time on the skin, you can still smell it later on in the day and also if it has got on your clothes they still smell of it after, I have a lot of silk scarves I like to wear and I find most of these smell of this perfume.
The box it comes in looks very luxurious and feels it too as it is like it is made from red velvet. It really makes you want to stroke the box and I hated chucking it away, always thinking what I could use it for but never finding anything.
The bottle is blocky and rectangular shaped and it has a red lid which pulls off and then there is a gold band around the top of the bottle.
The smell of the perfume is flowery, I am hopeless at figuring out different smells from perfume, they are either flowery or not flowery to me lol so I thought I would have a look on the web site to see what has gone into it. There seem to be so many different fragrances that they have used to make this perfume I was amazed. It seems there are the following added; Absolute Jasmine, Black Pearl Rose, Hibiscus, these are the top notes, then; Sicilian Bergamots and honeysuckle as the heart of the perfume, then; Heliotrope, Sandalwood and Musk as the bottom notes. It also says in the write up that it includes; Orange Blossom, Lily of the Valley, Vanilla, Basil, and touches of Freesia and Aldehydes. As I said before, it is very flowery lol.
I think if you like strong perfumes then give this one a try.
I cant find the perfume on sale on the Boots site but have found it on Cheap Smells web site, it says on there that the RRP is £42 and they have it for £35.95 (50 ml size) and RRP £55 their price £47.95 for 100 ml.
One time when I had this bought for me it was in a large gift box and it had some body lotion in it as well which was heavenly to use, it smelled the same as the perfume but more sensuous. I can't find this on sale on any of the sites I have looked so don't know if they still do it or not.
I would definitely give this perfume 5 stars.

Dolce and Gabanna is quite different to the fragrances i would normally wear as its quite heavy and i usually go for fresh and light scents. The bottle and box reflect the scent well for the box is a deep red velvet rectangle and the bottle is the same shape but just clear so the perfume is visible with a red lid. The fragrance is quite deep and heavy with quite a spicy smell to it, and its got a rich velvety feel to it like the box.I would say this perfume is probably for an older audience as most modern scents now are so different to this one, and thats probably why this isnt one of my favourites and i have to say has been sitting amongst my collection unused for a while. Although it is quite cheap you can pick it up now for around £10.Also this scent would be unsuitable for everydat use because its really musky so i would stick to day use, the scent also stayed with me for a long time so it has staying power. So if you want a nice sensual, deep and spicy fragrance try it who knows you might like it.
I recieved this as a present last christmas, which I wasn't too happy about as I'd never smelt it before so I was a little worried.
However I shouldn't have as I sprayed a little on my wrists and it was a very pleasent scent.
It has like a warm, far east/oriental with hints of jasmine sort of smell to it, in a small, elegant bottle.
It is quite a strong scent and lasts all day, so I wouldn't squirt too much all over yourself.
As it's now a few years old, your able to get it much cheaper than it origanally sold at.
If you shop at stores such as TJ Hughes, Homebargains and other small, local shops, you can pick it up for less than a tenner, so it's handy if your on a budget- and it makes a nice present too!
I was bought this perfume for my birthday and I just love it, it smells so nice and not too heavy. I have different perfumes but this I must say is definately my favourite. It doesn't seem to have a flowery smell like mose perfumes I could mention and it isn't too overpowering either. The fragrance seems to last all day and even gets stronger the more it settles on you. Not the cheapest you can buy but definatley worth the money.
I have so many different perfumes....all different brands, but I have to say that this is one of my favourites. The smell is absolutely gorgeous!!! Although it has a slightly 'heavier' fragrance than a lot of the modern fresh perfumes, it is very effective because the scent is so good. The smell is not really floral, more spicy and it stays well throughout the day. I think this was one of the first perfumes that Dolce & Gabanna released and they have since released a few, however having tested (and bought!) some of the others I think this original is still the best. A really nice perfume and if you keep your eyes open can often be picked up at a bargain price in places like Superdrug or the Supermarkets. Definately a perfume for when your'e on the pull!!
Must admit to being a perfume snob, stems from having a stint on the perfume counter when I first started work, over 30 years ago. I am one of those that cannot pass a perfume counter without having a spray of this or that. I have had trouble over he last few years of finding a new smell that suits me. Must be my hormones as most new perfumes smell as if the cat has done it's thing on me. Even Chanel stinks on me (the lady on the counter admitted that) Then lo and behold after a days spraying, thought oooh whats that I have tried lovely, even hubby impressed. Did some backtracking on my next outing, found it, That's the one 'Dolce and Gabbana'. It is one of the more expensive fragrances, plain but elegant deep scarlet packing. A rich sensual fragrance, but not overpowering and holds it's fragrance all day /night. Always find that you know it's good when someone asks 'what's that perfume you are wearing' and this has happened on many occasions. Did not bother to find out the techie details of the ingredients, all I know is it is just a beautiful perfume. So next time you pass a perfume counter have a spray, or maybe not, I like to keep this one to myself!

Torstein Horgmo presents Horgasm: Full Movie
Originally released in November 2013.
Horgasm 'A Love Story' is back right here on TWSNOW.com
Check out Torstein's Pro Spotlight here from our Sept 2012 Issue
Words: Hondo
You might think that Torstein is Mr. Popular and that everything was handed to him on a silver platter. Well that's just not the case. While he's got some serious hype right now, back in the day he was often picked last…
Torstein is so down to give back to his fans, and in turn you're down for him: He's consistently the most-searched rider on TWSNOW.com, and he's won our Readers' Choice award the past two seasons. We figured what better way to interview the man of the people than with the people. So we got you to ask him whatever you wanted on our Facebook fan page. And you didn't hold back—there were more than 650 questions, making it our most commented post. After scouring the list, we mixed a few of the best questions with some of our own. Oh, and one of you who got your question picked wins Torstein's 2013 DC board.
TWS: For two seasons you've been working on a documentary. What's that about?
The documentary, which we're calling It's a Love Story, has been cool. We might change the name, but that's what it is right now. My friend Toby [Froystad] followed me everywhere for the past two years. So we have a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff as well as video part footage. The real footage is going to DC for their new movie Must Be Nice, but there's also going to be actual snowboard shots in the documentary. The documentary is going to have everything: all the bangers, all the B-shots. Toby does his stuff differently than most. I can say for sure that it's not going to be a slow 60-minute documentary. You're not going to be guessing if I'm dead or anything based on the music. It's going to have a fun, fast-paced vibe.
You landed a triple cork in the backcountry two seasons ago. Why didn't blow it up online like when you landed the first triple cork in 2010?
[Laughs] I don't know. This time I didn't want to make a big deal out of it. When I landed the first triple cork I had four angles on the jump and I felt like putting it out right away. It turned out to be a good thing, too. Last year I just didn't have the time to put it out there. The contest season was super heavy, and I didn't have too much time to film street stuff. I wanted to focus on getting backcountry stuff that I felt like I could hold on to for a year and save it for the movie. I didn't want to blow it out.

TMS Extension for Exchange
Is there any update as to when a new version of the Exchange extension will be released that supports Exchange 2010? I am having trouble finding any information on this product on Ciscos site.
Is there any update as to when a new version of the Exchange extension will be released that supports Exchange 2010? I am having trouble finding any information on this product on Ciscos site.
I am also very interested in this - we are currently unable to upgrade our Exchange environment due to TMS.
same here. Additionally I´m interested in how the new Exchange extension will connect to Exchange, as we are not allowed to install anything on Exchange Server.
The next version the TMS Exchange integration software (TMSXE 3.0) is currently scheduled to be released sometime in January 2012. This is an approximation dependent on QA testing which is ongoing currently. When it is released it will be installed on a separate Windows 2008 server OS and can be configured to communicate to the Exchange server via Http or Https and will utilized the EWS technology in Exchange 2007 and 2010.
We are very limited in what information can be provided at this time as some additional features may be added or taken away depending on QA testing and the approaching deadline.
When the product is release it will be very important that you read all of the documentation as there will be some significant changes to deploying the new application.
Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions.
thank you. EWS sounds good.
Does the current version TMSXE work with Exchange 2010?
No it does not

Thank you Tim.
Any update on when we might see this new version?
Pending any last minute issues, the public release of TMSXE 3.0 should be on or around the beginning of February
Hi Dale,
will it be possible to install it on the same machine with TMS?
Those details will be in the install documenation when it's released, but it definitely won't be installed to the Exchange server as the former product was, aka TMSXE 2.3 and earler
Does anyone know whether this product will be backward compatible with other versions of Exchange (namely 2003/2007) or will it just support 2010 via EWS?. I need to make a decision on whether forge ahead with version 2.3.1 or wait for 3.0 now and no documentation is available - or PDI assistance from Cisco. I can ask the our local reps but if anyone knows the answer it would be appreciated.
TMSXE 3.0 will support (with no guarantees due to possible last minute changes):
Exchange 2010 SP1
Exchange 2007 SP3
2003 Is not supported, this was not supported in TMSXE 2.3.1 either.
Clients will be Outlook 2007 SP2, 2010
TMSXE needs to be installed on windows server 2k8 or 2k8 R2.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the reply Magnus - most helpful. I have been told the FCS date is Feb 17th...is this still accurate?
In reference to E2K3 support under TMSXE 2.3 ...are you sure this is not supported? The Installation guide (dated June 2011) on page 5 mentions E2K3 support with SP2.
Any update on TMSXE 3.0. When is it being launched. I am looking to integrate Exchange 2010 with TMS 13.1.2. Also another question is it must that the user has be present in TMS to book the meeting when booking thought OUTLOOK. What kind of permissioning is reqired at a user lever in exchange to enable user to book the meetings.
Abhi Sharma
User account do not have to exist in TMS in order for them to be able to schedule meetings through Outlook. The first time that a user schedules a resource that is integrated with TMS and Exchange a user account will be created for the user in TMS and the user will be added to the default user groups that are configured in TMS.
As far as being able to schedule meetings in Exchange this depends on how the resource accounts are configured from a security perspective. This would be different in some environments depending on their security model. But in most cases all users have the ablility to schedule resources within Exchange.
Thank you for your reply Tim. This is great. Just another question.
you mentioned that a user account will be created in TMS. Is this the user account of the organizer. If that is the case, what if that already exists in TMS.
I have approx 15000 user world wide in different AD forests. They all have ability to schedule resources with in exchange. TMS is only pointed to the single AD and approx 2000 user are synced with AD using LDAP rest of them are in different AD forests with TRUST.
Please let me know.
Abhishek Sharma
Hi Abhi,
Cisco TMSXE 3.0 is right around he corner -- we hope to release next week.
Permissions on a user level in Exchange: As long as a user is allowed by the Exchange booking policies to book the resource representing the TelePresence system, TMSXE/TMS will accept he booking. Throwing TMSXE into the mix won't change anything permissions wise.
Hi all,
Cisco TelePresence Management Suite Extension for Microsoft Exchange (Cisco TMSXE) 3.0 is now available for download from cisco.com.
Links to documentation:
Kjetil Ree
Thanks for the links to the forms. I found in the release notes the following statement "Previous versions of Cisco TMSXE were installed on the Exchange server itself. Cisco TMSXE 3.0 must be installed on a separate server".
When it says "separate server", does it mean its own server? Bluntly put, do you know if I can use the TMS server to install TMSXE 3.0? I found nothing in the docs (so far) that says it can or cannot be installed on the TMS server.
When we say "separate server", we basically mean "not the Exchange server".
We generally recommend installing TMSXE 3 on its own, separate Windows server, but sure, you can install it on TMS's Windows server if you want to.
Thanks a million! For us a separate server is not available and wouldn't be for some weeks to come. The deployment is all but ready and the delay for the separate server would not be a good thing!! So thanks again for the info ('recommend its own server but can be put on the TMS server')
Just to be clear. Cisco's Best Practice recommendation is what for the TMSXE?
1. TMSXE and TMS 13.1.2 on the same server
2. TMSXE on a separate server and TMS on a separate server
What I am hearing from Timothy is that as some point they may have a separate server and if so, then they will want to move the TMSXE to another server.
I think that our best practice configuration for the TMSXE is for it to be installed on a separate server from the TMS server.
Mr. Walker,
We recommend scenario 2: separate servers for TMSXE and TMS.
If one ever needs to move TMSXE from one Windows server to another, just uninstall it on the first, and then do a fresh install using the same connection settings.

John Riggs Bow's
Has anyone else out ther heard of a Bowyer named John Riggs?
I don't know how many people are in to Primitive Archery equipment... but anyone who wants to break into or just add a great Bow to their collection, should check out the Native American Paddle Bow's that John Riggs makes. He is a Bowyer from the heart of Michigan's Ojibwe Nations and has perfected making all forms of Eastern, Plains and West Coast Indian Bow's. I bought a Bow Blank to finish myself from him. he coached me through all of the steps on shaping, tillering and finishing this Bow. I was so impressed with this Bow ....I hav since bought a Snakeskinned Bow also. I would highly recommend these Bow's to anyone who was thinking about tossing 100's of dollars away towards a Famous Named Bow........I am not one to stick my neck out for anyone but, I would put these Bow's up against the Best of them. John Riggs stands 100% behind his Bo's and is so helpful in teaching others to build them also. John sells on eBay for the most part and also can be got a hold of at .....
He told me that he will build any Bow to specifications, just give him a shout. I myself think that he is going to be Big in Traditional Archery here in the next few years. Send him an email and askim any questions you may have, you won't regret it, I promise.

I sure appreciate that post! I surely love traditional shooting. Altho, I am not so good at it, yet.
I really enjoy reading posts by people who have good things to say about about traditional archery. Building bows, making arrows, and, all the things that go into being a traditional archer impress me.
For a modern age archer, getting a fletching jig and flecthing your own arrows adds so much to your overall enjoyment of the sport. Every archer should at least attempt to fletch their own arrows.Take a kid with you. Show them the Great Outdoors. Pass it on.

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL -- Star Food Healthy Express has announced its support of the "Fuel Up to Play 60" in-school nutrition program launched by the National Dairy Council and the National Football League.
"Since the beginning our goal has been to 'Feed More Kids'," said Joe Gilbert, vice-president of Star Food Healthy Express. "We started this seven years ago because we saw where vending could fill a large need in schools for kids on the reimbursable meal programs."
Star Food Healthy Express is a division of VE South. The system works with most POS systems and ties directly to a school's meal program administrative software to verify, serve and account for meals to the nearly 69% of students enrolled in reimbursable meal programs, Gilbert explained. "By supporting FUTP 60, we will be able to reach even more kids who really need a healthy meal or snack, including nutritious dairy products like low-fat milk and yogurt. This is definitely a 'win' for everyone."
FUTP 60 is a school wellness program conducted the National Dairy Council, the National Football League and regional dairy councils around the country, in collaboration with the United States Department of Agriculture. It encourages youngsters to choose nutrient-rich foods first, and get out and play for at least 60 minutes each day. It presently is in place at more than 73,000 schools.
Across the U.S., schools face tremendous challenges to meet economic, health and academic demands, Star Food pointed out; and many lack the funds to implement wellness policies. Programs such as FUTP 60 empower students to make positive changes to improve nutrition and physical activity.
"School wellness policies make it possible for students and schools to have access to healthy foods, and to find opportunities to help them stay active throughout the day," said National Dairy Council president Jean Ragalie."Collaborating with Star Food allows us to provide the FUTP 60 schools with an additional resource for providing students with healthy meal options."
As a supporter of FUTP 60, Star Food will expand into schools nationwide, giving students easy access to nutritious and visually appealing meals and snacks.
Fuel Up to Play 60 is supported by such health and nutrition organizations as Action for Healthy Kids, the American Academy of Family Physicians, American Academy of Pediatrics and Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Association/Foundation, as well as the National Hispanic Medical Association, National Medical Association and School Nutrition Association. The program maintains a website at fueluptoplay60.com.
The National Dairy Council is a nonprofit organization, founded by dairy farmers.

Lincoln Park was our Holt, like the original home of the forest elves in Elfquest. Whitewolf's mother was a witch, and my first introduction to the living practice of neo-Paganism was in my interactions with these teenage "elven" friends of mine. It was a blend of fantasy and reality, where we earnestly looked for the places where the world of stories seeped into our plane of reality. [Read more…]
