Deep Space 9, originally known as Terok Nor, was one of the most historically, politically, and strategically important space stations in the Alpha Quadrant during the latter half of the 24th century. The space station was constructed by the Cardassians in orbit of Bajor during their occupation of the planet. Under Federation administration, following the Cardassian withdrawal, the station was relocated into the Bajoran system's Denorios belt. There DS9 became a vital commercial port and defensive outpost due to its location near the mouth of the Bajoran wormhole. It later became a key strategic location during the Dominion War, for both the Dominion and the Federation Alliance.
History Edit
Terok Nor Edit
Terok Nor was the station's original Cardassian designation. (DS9: "Cardassians", "A Time to Stand", "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night") Built by Bajoran slave labor during the Occupation of Bajor under the leadership of the Cardassian Union between 2346 and 2351, its original purpose was to serve as a refinery for uridium ore that was mined from Bajor's surface, a process carried out in temperatures as high as 55° Celsius. (DS9: "Babel", "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night", "Civil Defense") Therefore, Terok Nor had extensive ore refining and transport facilities that occupied the large docking pylon structures and was built to accommodate up to seven thousand humanoid-sized people as well as process up to twenty thousand tons of ore a day. (DS9: "Sanctuary", "Civil Defense", "Things Past") The station also served as a command post from which the Cardassian Prefect of Bajor, most notably Gul Dukat, oversaw the military aspects of the Occupation. In one of his recorded messages for the counter-insurgency program installed on the station, Dukat described Terok Nor as being "a paradise" compared to Bajor. (DS9: "Civil Defense") Like the planet it orbited, the station operated on a twenty-six hour day. (DS9: "A Man Alone")
In 2365, Gul Dukat took the unusual step of appointing a non-Cardassian as the chief of security aboard Terok Nor. Odo, a shapeshifter discovered on a derelict ship near Bajor some years before, had ties to both the Cardassians and the Bajorans on the station. (DS9: "Necessary Evil", "Tribunal")
In 2369, the Cardassians decided to withdraw from Bajor after fifty years of occupation. Unable to move the station across interstellar distances, they left the outpost in its high orbit. Before departing, however, Cardassian soldiers rampaged across the station, removing or destroying a large portion of the station's equipment and killing several shop owners. (DS9: "Emissary")
Deep Space 9 Edit
The Federation Edit
Following the Cardassian withdrawal, the Bajoran Provisional Government petitioned for Federation membership, and also for Starfleet assistance in repairing and maintaining Terok Nor. A complex arrangement was established, in which a Starfleet officer would have overall authority in running the station, while the station remained sovereign Bajoran territory. A representative of the Bajoran Militia would serve as the station's first officer and as liaison to the Bajoran government. The station was renamed "Deep Space 9", and Benjamin Sisko was appointed as commander, at Admiral Leyton's recommendation. (DS9: "Emissary", "Homefront")
As station commander, one of the most important facets of the station Sisko sought to develop was commerce. The Cardassians had allowed a small series of businesses and entertainment facilities to operate in the central, multi-level market area called the Promenade. Because almost all of the shops were owned by non-Bajorans, Sisko hoped to convince many of them to stay to help build a trade network through Bajoran space. In particular, Sisko convinced Quark, owner of Quark's, the largest establishment on the Promenade, to maintain his business on-station as an example for others, as well as to become a community leader and eventually chairman of the Promenade Merchants' Association. (DS9: "Emissary", "Call to Arms")
The station quickly became an important facility for Starfleet. Over time, several hundred starships docked at the station for various reasons. The USS Enterprise-D was the first Starfleet ship to dock at the station in 2369, when it transported the majority of the station's Starfleet crew to take up their posts. The Enterprise also offloaded three runabouts. (DS9: "Emissary") The Enterprise returned to DS9 several weeks later to help repair the Bajoran aqueduct systems that had been damaged during the Occupation. (TNG: "Birthright, Part I") The USS Voyager docked at Deep Space 9 in 2371 on its way to the Badlands to search for the Maquis ship Val Jean. It was the last Alpha Quadrant locale the crew of Voyager visited before being transported to the Delta Quadrant by the Caretaker. (VOY: "Caretaker") Five years later, the station helped Starfleet Command to contact Voyager in the Delta Quadrant by providing interstellar phenomena forecasts. (VOY: "Pathfinder")
Discovering the wormhole Edit
Only days after the Federation took control of the station, a momentous discovery changed DS9's purpose forever. With encouragement from Kai Opaka, Sisko and his science officer, Lieutenant Jadzia Dax, searched for the mythical Celestial Temple of the Prophets, hoping to find a cause or idea to help unify the Bajoran people. While aboard the runabout USS Rio Grande, Sisko and Dax found the only known stable wormhole in the Milky Way Galaxy, which crossed over seventy thousand light years from Bajor in the Alpha Quadrant to a point near the Idran system in the Gamma Quadrant. (DS9: "Emissary")
The presence of a stable wormhole inside the Bajoran system had an enormous impact on commerce throughout the region, making the system one of the most important locations in the entire Alpha Quadrant – a fact recognized by the Bajorans, the Federation, and the Cardassians. Major Kira Nerys, DS9's first officer, ordered the station moved to the mouth of the wormhole in order to cement Bajor's claim. Despite the massive forces and pressures involved in moving the station with only six working thrusters, Chief of Station Operations Miles O'Brien devised a risky method by which the deflector shields were altered to lower the station's inertial mass to a level sufficient for movement at the speeds necessary to reach the wormhole. The station was positioned close to the mouth of the wormhole, approximately a thousand kilometers from its event horizon. (DS9: "Emissary")
However, the Cardassians had not completely abandoned the system, maintaining surveillance of activities in the region; they quickly found out about the wormhole's discovery and attempted to claim the wormhole for themselves. Gul Dukat ordered his warship through the wormhole, and was apparently trapped on the far side when the beings controlling the wormhole collapsed its entrance. A short time later, three additional Galor-class warships, under the command of Gul Jasad of the Seventh Order, approached the station. Following a brief armed standoff, the wormhole reappeared, and the ships returned, with the Rio Grande towing Dukat's warship. With a firm Bajoran-Federation claim established on the wormhole, the Cardassians withdrew. (DS9: "Emissary")
The impact the wormhole had on the station was enormous. Rather than a minor orbital servicing station and transfer point, DS9 had the potential to become one of the top commerce stations in the entire quadrant, and one of Starfleet's most important outposts. Eager to explore the vast new territories of the Gamma Quadrant, dozens of races established trading relations with Bajor and began sending starships through the wormhole. At the same time, DS9 became the first point of contact in the Alpha Quadrant for any native species traveling from the Gamma Quadrant. Within the first two years, ships operating from or passing through DS9 made contact with at least twelve different cultures, including the Dosi, the Karemma, the Skrreeans, the Hunters and the Tosk, the Rakhari, the Wadi, and the Paradans. (DS9: "Rules of Acquisition", "The Search, Part I", "Sanctuary", "Captive Pursuit", "Vortex", "Move Along Home", "Whispers")
Bajoran affairs Edit
Deep Space 9 was also a unique place for the constant contact and cooperation between people from Bajor and the Federation, and therefore also became a point of tension at times. In late 2369, DS9 became the center of a controversy between Bajoran religious fundamentalists, instigated by then-Vedek Winn Adami, and pro-Federation factions. The incident brought attention to the fierce contest to elect a new Kai following the disappearance and apparent death of Kai Opaka earlier that year. (DS9: "Battle Lines") Winn protested the ideas taught in DS9's school by volunteer teacher Keiko O'Brien about the wormhole, creating a rift between some conservative Bajorans and the secular Federation representatives. (DS9: "In the Hands of the Prophets")
In early 2370, an extremist faction known as the Alliance for Global Unity, also known simply as "The Circle", began an uprising against the Bajoran provisional government. During this coup, the station became a target of the insurgents as the Circle attempted to force all non-Bajoran influences to leave. All Federation and civilian personnel were ordered to evacuate the station, but Commander Sisko chose to remain behind with a group of volunteers, hoping to prevent the Circle's takeover. A division of the Bajoran Militia working under the direction of Minister Jaro Essa, the leader of the Circle, boarded the station and assumed control. General Krim and Colonel Day, commanding the force, engaged in a cat-and-mouse game with the small Starfleet contingent for two days. Evidence was eventually revealed to the Chamber of Ministers that the Cardassians were secretly arming the Circle, using the Kressari as intermediaries. With this damning revelation, the Circle's rebellion collapsed, and Krim returned control of the station to Sisko. (DS9: "The Homecoming", "The Circle", "The Siege")
In later years, there were occasional flare-ups where Bajoran and Federation interests clashed, but none were nearly as explosive. Over time, almost all resistance to Federation influence on DS9 and on Bajor disappeared as Starfleet continued to prove its good intentions. In addition, the increasingly prominent role of Sisko as the Emissary of the Prophets, a major figure in Bajoran religion, helped build acceptance for his position as station commander.
In an alternate timeline in which Benjamin Sisko was apparently killed in an accident aboard the USS Defiant, DS9 was transferred to Klingon control in 2373. (DS9: "The Visitor")
The Maquis Edit
In 2370, the Cardassian freighter Bok'Nor inexplicably exploded immediately after undocking from DS9. A previously-unknown group in the Cardassian Demilitarized Zone, calling themselves the Maquis, claimed responsibility. The Maquis were dispossessed Federation citizens resisting the cession of their home colonies to Cardassian control, and were arming themselves with mostly Federation contraband weaponry. A short time later, the Maquis also kidnapped Gul Dukat from the station while aboard for consultations with Commander Sisko regarding the situation in the DMZ. (DS9: "The Maquis, Part I")
Although DS9 was not located in the DMZ itself, the Bajoran system's proximity to that area made the station a major target for related operations on occasion. Most notably, in 2372 the Maquis hijacked a shipment of twelve Federation industrial replicators which were being sent to Cardassia to provide relief in the wake of the Klingon-Cardassian War. Michael Eddington, the senior Starfleet Security officer aboard DS9, publicly defected to the Maquis in this incident, and later went on to unify the various Maquis cells under his leadership. (DS9: "For the Cause")
The Dominion War Edit
Deep Space 9's greatest fame, however, came in its role of defending the Federation and the Alpha Quadrant from Dominion invasion. Around stardate 47950, Benjamin Sisko and Quark, while on a camping trip in the Gamma Quadrant with Sisko's son, Jake, and Quark's nephew, Nog, were abducted by the Jem'Hadar, the soldiers of the Dominion. A representative of the Dominion boarded the station and informed the crew that the Dominion would not tolerate "intrusions" into its territory – and intrusions were defined as any vessel that entered the Gamma Quadrant. After the Galaxy-class starship USS Odyssey was destroyed in battle against the Jem'Hadar, DS9 was suddenly placed on the front line of a new interstellar conflict. (DS9: "The Jem'Hadar")
Weeks later, Starfleet assigned the experimental warship USS Defiant to the station to provide an additional line of defense against the Dominion threat. In addition, Commander Sisko launched a crash program to upgrade and expand the station's own tactical systems, adding new, heavier shield generators, more powerful phaser arrays, and a large battery of photon torpedoes. These upgraded weapons actually saw their first use against Klingon warships in their abortive attack on DS9 in early 2372. (DS9: "The Search, Part I", "The Way of the Warrior")
In addition to the threat of invasion by the Jem'Hadar, the Dominion also posed another, more sinister threat – infiltration by Changelings, the Founders of the Dominion. Because these beings could assume any form and avoid detection by almost all normal sensors, the potential damage from espionage and sabotage was enormous. DS9's crew helped pioneer several methods that tried to combat this threat, including phaser sweeps and blood screenings. (DS9: "The Adversary", "Homefront")
When the Dominion finally entered the Alpha Quadrant in 2373, the first battle was, surprisingly, not fought at DS9 as anticipated. A large fleet of more than fifty Jem'Hadar warships bypassed the station and moved instead to annex the Cardassian Union – at the invitation of Gul Dukat. DS9 became a marshaling point for both Klingon ships, retreating from their former Cardassian conquests, and for Starfleet, as well as a squadron of Romulan warbirds that joined the fleet. However, the Dominion chose not to launch an immediate attack on the station, and the fleet dispersed. (DS9: "By Inferno's Light")
After securing the Cardassian territories, the Dominion began sending weekly supply convoys, including dozens of fresh warships, through the wormhole. Without sufficient forces, station personnel could only watch as more and more troops and warships poured into the Alpha Quadrant. As the Dominion also began securing nonaggression pacts with several regional powers, Captain Sisko, with approval from Starfleet Command, began to blockade the entrance to the wormhole with self-replicating mines. In response, the Dominion launched a massive assault fleet to capture the station and take control of the wormhole.
In the ensuing battle, DS9 accounted for the destruction of over fifty Jem'Hadar and Cardassian ships. Additionally, the Defiant was successful in completing the minefield, sealing off the wormhole. However, Dukat committed additional ships to mount another assault, and facing overwhelming numbers, Sisko decided to abandon the station. DS9 was also a diversion; while the Dominion and Cardassian forces were committed to capturing it, a combined Federation and Klingon attack force destroyed the Dominion shipyards on Torros III. (DS9: "Call to Arms")
When the station was retaken by the Cardassians and their Dominion allies, it reverted back to its original Cardassian designation, Terok Nor, and was once again commanded by Dukat. Although it was officially still owned by the Bajoran government, for all intents and purposes it was once again a Cardassian station. (DS9: "Call to Arms")
The station soon came to be the site from which Dukat, Weyoun and other Dominion personnel directed the Dominion War. However, because the minefield operated independently from the station, Terok Nor played no other important role in the Dominion war effort aside from serving as a command and resupply outpost. A Ruling Council, including Odo, was later formed. (DS9: "A Time to Stand")
Spurred on by the suicide of Vedek Yassim, Kira Nerys formed a resistance group that included herself, Jake Sisko, Rom, and Leeta. They were also assisted by Quark and Tora Ziyal. (DS9: "Rocks and Shoals", "Behind the Lines")
Facing an invasion on several fronts, Starfleet was unable to mount a counteroffensive to retake the station for several months. In mid-2374, the allies launched Operation Return, from Starbase 375, aimed at recapturing the station and preserving the minefield. Under the command of Captain Sisko, the allies won a major victory despite heavy losses. At the same time, Kira and Rom attempted to sabotage the antigraviton emitter in order to preserve the minefield. They were unsuccessful, but did disable the station's weapons, leaving it defenseless. Captain Sisko took the Defiant into the wormhole in a desperate last stand against the overwhelming Dominion reinforcements. Sisko was contacted by the Prophets, who agreed to stop the Dominion forces to protect their Emissary. With the reinforcements gone and Federation and Klingon forces on their way, the Dominion abandoned the station. (DS9: "Favor the Bold", "Sacrifice of Angels")
After the return to Federation control, DS9 became the headquarters of the combined allied Ninth Fleet. (DS9: "You Are Cordially Invited")
For the remainder of the war, DS9 functioned as a major repair and resupply depot for Starfleet, Klingon, and later, Romulan forces. In addition, the major offenses that culminated in the First Battle of Chin'toka and the Battle of Cardassia were launched from DS9. (DS9: "Tears of the Prophets", "What You Leave Behind")
Post-war Edit
In 2376, the crew of Deep Space 9 predicted that a pulsar would pass close to the MIDAS array. Lieutenant Reginald Barclay of the Pathfinder Project fired a tachyon beam at the pulsar, resulting in a micro-wormhole which allowed brief contact with the USS Voyager in the Delta Quadrant. (VOY: "Pathfinder")
Station layout Edit
You can discuss this suggestion on the talk page.
Deep Space 9's structure was unusual by Federation standards, classified by Starfleet as a "hybrid planar-columnar triradial structure". Its basic form consisted of a central core assembly containing most primary systems, connected by crossover bridges to a series of two concentric rings for habitat and docking facilities, and a series of three sweeping pylons containing ore-processing and additional docking facilities. The station had at least five transporter rooms. (DS9: "Things Past")
In 2369 Kira Nerys suggested that the Klaestrons must be allies with the Cardassians because they knew about the station layout of Deep Space 9 and must have received that information from them. (DS9: "Dax")
Central core Edit
The central core was a roughly cylindrical structure consisting of several terraced platforms containing various key facilities. At the extreme dorsal end of the core was the operations center and the subspace communications antennae, as well as the deflector shield generators. Below this assembly was the three-level Promenade, a public area for commerce and recreation. The Promenade also housed the station's infirmary, the security office, the Bajoran temple, and Quark's.
The lower sections of the core contained engineering and support facilities, including at least one large industrial replicator, the computer core, and multiple deuterium fuel tanks. At the extreme ventral end sat the six fusion reactors.
Command level Edit
The command level was part of the central core of Deep Space 9. It was the primary operations center for the station, and contained primary access to all major operations of the station including science, tactical, and flight control. It also contained the office of the commanding officer.
In 2369, when Chief Miles O'Brien repaired the replicators on the command level but not the malfunctioning replicators at Quark's, Quark tried to gain access to the station layout to display all repaired replicators, but this information was restricted to security clearance five and above. Quark was able to use two isolinear rods to display the information and bypass the security code, acquiring the locations of the repaired replicators. (DS9: "Babel")
Habitat ring Edit
The habitat ring was the inner ring of the station's structure, intended primarily for the housing of most of the station's semi-permanent residents. Spaced along the ring were also six landing pads, used by Starfleet's runabouts and other small craft. The station itself could accommodate seven thousand people; the station only housed three hundred in 2369. (DS9: "Captive Pursuit")
Also mounted along the habitat ring were three large protrusions, upon which a large portion of the station's armaments were mounted, as well as its tractor beams.
The habitat ring is also the place where the weapons were stored. They were located in level five, section three and restricted to security clearance seven and above. (DS9: "Captive Pursuit")
The guest quarters of the visiting Federation ambassadors Taxco, Vadosia, and Lojal were located in corridor H-12-A in the habitat ring. The ambassadors, guided by Doctor Julian Bashir, experienced a plasma surge, caused by overloading the station's computer in 2369. (DS9: "The Forsaken")
While on the station in 2375, Sarina Douglas was assigned quarters in the habitat ring, corridor H6, section 27 Epsilon. (DS9: "Chrysalis")
Docking ring Edit
The docking ring was the outer ring of the station's structure, and was used primarily for moving and storing goods and for starship docking facilities. Twelve large docking ports were distributed around the perimeter, and numerous cargo bays were connected to these facilities. In addition, a series of six thrusters were mounted on the edge of the ring. These thrusters were intended mainly for maintaining orbital position.
Six large, sweeping docking pylons emerged from the docking ring; three from the dorsal and three from the ventral surfaces of the docking ring to give DS9 its characteristic spindly shape. At the extreme end of each pylon was an additional docking port (for a total of six on the pylons), which could accommodate larger starships up to those approximately the size of the Galaxy class. The majority of the pylons' internal structure was used up by ore processing facilities.
The docking ports where the docking pylons intersected the main structure had the capability of launching probes. (DS9: "If Wishes Were Horses")
One of the airlocks located along the perimeter of the docking ring was airlock 17. (DS9: "The Siege")
The docking ring corridor leading through an airlock to the USS Defiant featured an identification panel as well as an armed security guard. (DS9: "Defiant")
Weapons fire directed at section 17 of the outer docking ring could cause the station to lose main power to the shields. (DS9: "Call to Arms")
A51 Edit
A51 was a restricted area aboard Deep Space 9 that housed the station's deflector array controls and several EPS conduits. Rom opened a service hatch labeled "A51 | Restricted Area | Authorized Personnel Only" when attempting to disable the deflector array before the Dominion could fire an antigraviton pulse at the self-replicating minefield that was preventing Dominion ships from coming through the wormhole. (DS9: "Behind the Lines")
Support vessels Edit
Deep Space 9 had a number of support vessels on hand. From 2369 to 2375, sixteen Danube-class runabouts and two Defiant-class starships had been assigned to Deep Space 9 at some point. Several were destroyed or lost.
During the first two years of their service, the runabouts were instrumental in the defense of the station and exploration of the Gamma Quadrant. The runabouts were even responsible, under the command of Commander Sisko and Lieutenant Dax, for the discovery of the Bajoran wormhole.
In 2371, with the threat of the Dominion becoming a concern, Starfleet Command assigned the USS Defiant to Deep Space 9. A few years later, in 2375, the Defiant was destroyed in the Second Battle of Chin'toka. On stardate 52861, Vice Admiral William Ross delivered the USS Sao Paulo to the station, albeit a little late. This caused Captain Sisko to comment that was "...no way to start a relationship." Starfleet Operations also gave Captain Sisko special dispensation to rename the Sao Paulo to Defiant.

Background information Edit
The station's original name, Terok Nor, was first referred to in "Cardassians". According to the scripts for that episode [2], "The Wire" [3], "Crossover" [4], "Civil Defense" [5], "Destiny" [6], "Shattered Mirror" [7], "Call to Arms" [8], "The Emperor's New Cloak" [9], the pronunciation for Terok Nor was "TAIR-awk nor". However, for the episode "Tribunal" [10], the pronunciation was "TEHR-uk NOR". Finally, in the script for "Empok Nor" [11], the pronunciation for Nor was "NORE".
The scripts of the six-part war arc in season six always referred to DS9 as Terok Nor.
In an omitted line of dialogue from the first draft script of VOY: "Death Wish", Q referred to DS9 as "that dreary space station."
According to Star Trek: Star Charts (p. 43) in 2369, the station moved from a geosynchronous orbit around the planet Bajor to a solar orbit around the star Bajor (B'hava'el) shortly after it was recommissioned as Deep Space 9.
According to the Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library ("The Dominion War: Strategy and Battles, 2373-75"), Deep Space 9 was captured by the Dominion on December 23, 2373. The Federation and its allies reclaimed the station, in "Operation: Return", on March 25, 2374.
Designing the station (exterior) Edit
The task of designing the space station Deep Space 9 – which had to be a new, iconic and alien-looking image that could be quickly recognized when seen on a small television screen – was a long, involved process that took several different directions before evolving into the final design we now take for granted.
Production designer Herman Zimmerman was the man assigned to come up with this fresh and unique look that would be the centerpiece of the next Star Trek show to follow The Next Generation. Zimmerman was given three months in which to design the station, a huge amount of time in comparative terms insofar as the normal amount of time to design something like this for a TV show is about two to three weeks.
According to Mike Okuda, one of the first things that the producers said to him about the basic design of the station was that "they wanted it not to look Starfleet, they wanted it to look weird." (Deep Space Nine: A Bold Beginning, DS9 Season 1 DVD special features)
One of the earliest ideas for the station was that it was to be a Tower of Babel-type structure which had been built up by many different cultures over many centuries, all using different technology, and that each part of the station was to have a different layout to every other part.
The final design was arrived at when Rick Berman saw a gyroscope-type design by Zimmerman, and suggested "breaking" the hoops at the top and bottom.
The physical model of Deep Space 9 was designed by Herman Zimmerman and Rick Sternbach. Contributing artists included Ricardo Delgado, Joseph Hodges, Nathan Crowley, Jim Martin, Rob Legato, Gary Hutzel, Mike Okuda, and executive producer Rick Berman. The original six-foot diameter model was built by Tony Meininger.
The model of Deep Space 9 (Lot #493) was sold at the 40 Years of Star Trek: The Collection auction on October 6, 2006 for US$132,000, including the buyer's premium (the winning bid was US$110,000).
The station was the very last model in the series to be replaced with an CGI model, which occurred in the very last pullback scene in "What You Leave Behind"; up until then, all footage shown of the station was of the physical studio model. The CG model was built at Station X Studios by Meni Tsirbas. David Stipes recalled, "Meni had created a Deep Space Nine station several years ago, and we talked at different times, but this was the chance to get involved. This was their one and only shot, but it's the final pay-off shot, and it's really beautiful. He's such a brilliant artist. It's all being done on LightWave, and it's great. The live action footage of Kira and Jake was "projected" by the LightWave software onto a polygon surface that was placed in the window of the CG DS9 station. We pull out of the DS9 window, until the station turns into a star. It's quite spectacular, because it's about 50 seconds long. That's the end of the show." (Cinefantastique, Vol.32, No.4/5, page 91)
The Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Technical Manual asserts that Deep Space 9 was equipped with Type-IX, -X, and -XI phasers. The Type-XIs were said to have been installed into retractable platforms stowed in the habitat ring. They make their first appearance in "The Way of the Warrior". The job of designing this new weaponry fell to the recently hired illustrator John Eaves. Herman Zimmerman gave Eaves detailed schematics of the station, and told him to find surface points where there were no moving parts, windows or existing weaponry, and to design never-before-seen, but plausible, phaser arrays and torpedo launchers to be positioned in such places.
Designing the station (interior) Edit
As Herman Zimmerman explains, "Having determined what the outside of the station was going to look like, then we had an enormous job making the interior sets to match what the exterior looked like, so that believably, we were inside this alien, bizarre, highly technical and not necessarily understood by our Starfleet personnel, space station." (Deep Space Nine: A Bold Beginning, DS9 Season 1 DVD special features).
Zimmerman designed a list of ground rules about the look of the interiors: Cardassians like geometric symmetry, they prefer circles to squares or ovals, they like things in groups of three, and they favor dark colors (especially khakis and dark green).
Apocrypha Edit
In book one of the Millennium trilogy, Deep Space 9 is destroyed when a second Celestial Temple (a Pah-wraith wormhole) is opened inside Quark's, beginning a horrific chain of events that sees the near extinction of several of Star Trek's most notable races (specifically, the Klingons, Cardassians, and Humans), along with the destruction of Earth, the USS Enterprise-E, the Federation, and the universe itself. However, the timeline is repaired thanks to Benjamin Sisko and the crew of Deep Space 9, who manage to disrupt the formation of the second wormhole by causing a Cardassian ship from the present to collide with a Klingon ship from that alternate future while inside the red wormhole, resulting in the wormhole being disrupted while DS9 and the temporally-relocated Defiant exit from the traditional wormhole.
In Star Trek: Legacy, Deep Space 9 appeared in one mission, during a Borg invasion of the Bajoran system. In the game, Deep Space 9 was seen orbiting Bajor like it did in DS9: "Emissary", possibly suggesting that the station moved back to Bajor after the Dominion War from the Bajoran wormhole.
During the events of Plagues of Night the station is destroyed by a series of bombs placed around the various reactor cores. The perpetrator was initially unknown, but was eventually revealed to be an Andorian officer working with the Typhon Pact, although it is specified that the explosive force was miscalculated and the bombs were only ever intended to be a distraction while the Pact's forces tried to use the prime wormhole in secret rather than actually destroy the station. Those on the station at the time of its destruction included Kira Nerys, Kassidy Yates-Sisko, and Ro Laren. It was established in Raise the Dawn that the station was lost, although only around a thousand people died out of the over six thousand present on the station at the time, none of them major characters, and Starfleet Command will build a replacement station (β) with the same name based on Federation designs. The new DS9 debuts two years later in Star Trek: The Fall: Revelation and Dust.
In Star Trek Online, Deep Space Nine appears as a main hub for players to interact at by the Bajoran Sector. It is one of two social hubs in the game where the two opposite factions, the Klingons and the Federation, can interact without combat. Deep Space Nine also serves as a Hub for Endgame play for the game. The station is now commanded by Captain James Kurland, with Commander Karen Andrews as first officer and the Klingon representative and Omega Force leader being Admiral D'Vak, son of Alexander Rozhenko.

If you know (or you think) that your ancestors were from Villavallelonga, you could find info about your Italian family at Registrar of Vital Statistics in the City Office or at the parishes.
Registry offices in Abruzzo and in L'Aquila province were established in early 1800: it means that you could find information in Villavallelonga registrar as of that date.
Before to start your genealogy research in Villavallelonga, we suggest you to read our tips for your search . They are useful to search in Abruzzo and in Villavallelonga too.
In the next picture you can see the demographic trends in Villavallelonga from the Italian Unification (1861).
It could be important to know if the last name you are investigating is a frequent surname in Villavallelonga. As more your surname is common in Villavallelonga, as more it could be difficult to find the right info about your ancestors in Villavallelonga archives if you have not exact dates.
It could be useful for you to know that some of the most common surnames in L'Aquila province are:
Bianchi, Bisegna, Bonanni, Centofanti, Cipriani, Colangelo, D'Alessandro, D'Amico, D'Andrea, D'Angelo, De Angelis, De Santis, Di Benedetto, Di Carlo, Di Cesare, Di Domenico, Di Felice, Di Girolamo, Di Loreto, Di Marco, Di Paolo, Di Pietro, Di Renzo, Di Stefano, Gentile, Giuliani, Graziani, Leone, Liberatore, Mancini, Mariani, Marinucci, Morgante, Pace, Paris, Parisse, Persia, Petrella, Presutti, Ricci, Rossi, Sabatini, Santilli, Santucci, Silvestri, Tarquini, Valentini, Venditti.
Church archives in L'Aquila province may instead contain even older information, but they are far less accessible from abroad (and almost impossible by email).
Then,parishes send information not easily.
If you have the opportunity to visit Villavallelonga and L'Aquila province, you could plan to investigate churches' archives by yourself, but from abroad is very difficult to obtain any result unless you find a reliable local help.
Another important source of information is the "Archivio di Stato" (National archive) in L'Aquila.
In any case, never give up! Probably the distance from your country and Italy, some difficulties in understanding and in translation, could complicate your search but this should not discourage you.
It's important to plan your activities to carry on with simple goals (eg. search for a single date of birth, the name of an ancestor, the date of a marriage, etc.)

Power of the people?
Let this journalist have her cake and eat it, too
I don't know for sure, and I'd hate to overstate something, but it's possible I helped score a little cake for those in attendance at U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley's town hall Wednesday morning.
When his press team notified me the town hall planned for Yamhill County was his 200th, I sent an email back suggesting there be cake to celebrate.
If I'd known they were really planning to bring cake, I'd have requested it to be gluten free. Of course, perhaps that was the plan all along, but if I had anything to do with it … for everyone who turned out for Merkley's 200th town hall and enjoyed a little cake, you're welcome.
In other news, one might think it gets a little dull covering town hall after town hall. After all, don't people pretty much say the same things?
Last year, Merkley was here in January for his 153rd town hall. The fiscal cliff, gun control and improved transparency in government were key points delivered by U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley in his opening remarks
This time, he talked about Cover Oregon, trade agreements, the need to fund infrastructure and, yes, more calls for transparency.
Last year, questions from the audience included: how to keep assault weapons out of the hands of potentially violent people, government paralysis in the form of filibusters and an issue specific to the county: the land use battle on Grand Island over mining gravel from the Willamette River.
This year, the broader issues included trade agreements, health care and the need to address corporate dollars influencing democracy.
The local issue debated was one playing out in national courts over an effort to modify a conservation easement near Willamina to pave way for an equestrian center.
See Friday's News-Register for more on the town hall.

This is very nice and very malty I thought, more so than the others I bought online here. Takes a bit of getting used to (excuse). Not at all sweet and OTT like a novelty milk chocolate and just absolutely my best friend actually :)

My own indulgent treat when I order the Easter eggs and chocolate bunnies for the kids. Not overly sweet so you get the real flavour of the cocoa used. Always a good selection of premium milk chocolate bars available from Chocolate Trading Co, and I can easily recommend this particular Amedei bar.

Muppets Most Wanted
I know, that headline is trouble. You're always treading dangerous ground when you insist on defining what makes a good this or the right kind of that, as if there is no room for change or improvement when it comes to classic properties. Of course there is - Jason Segel's 2011 Muppet film approached the concept from an entirely different direction. It didn't hit all of its marks, but it prevailed overall in its conceit: make a movie not about Muppets, but about Muppet fandom. But Muppets Most Wanted, in absence of a clear mission statement and fueled largely by the monetary glimmers of the sequel game (the film's opening number admits this outright), has fewer marks readily available to hit. Landing in the ambiguity between the classic Muppet adventure formula and Segel's post-modern Henson appreciation party, Most Wanted feels like a failure on both counts. It doesn't know which kind of movie it wants to, or should, be. So it doesn't really be anything.
On the one hand, there's the half-cocked get-the-band-back-together through line, mimicking but not quite accomplishing the spirit of the 2011 picture. None of the Muppets are particularly likable or charming in this turn, and even fewer of them actually given anything to do. Kermit loses his s**t in the first act after a spat with Piggy and a barrage of insubordination from his troupe (provoked by the nefarious Dominic Badguy, Ricky Gervais), storms off in a huff, and gets swept up in a case of mistaken identity when his criminal doppelganger Constantine pulls the old switcheroo, landing Kermit in a Russian gulag. You'd think this would be a good opportunity for the second tier of Muppet favorites - Piggy, Fozzy, Gonzo, Scooter, Rowlf, et al - to go on a search and rescue... but save for a very brief sequence at the tail end of this achingly long film, none of the other Muppets are giving anything to do. They just hem and haw and perform the occasional Indoor Running of the Bulls while Dominic and Constantine scheme, rob banks, and bicker.
Meanwhile, Kermit has some fun in prison - a far more endearing plot that sees him befriending the merry convicts, organizing a penitentiary revue, and even winning the heart of the vicious warden Nadia (Tina Fey). If only we could spend more time with real Kermit and less time with fake Kermit and his second banana Gervais, an effectively boring pair.
On the other hand, though, there's the Muppet shtick that fans of The Great Muppet Caper and Muppet Treasure Island - and yes, The Muppet Show itself - will deem the movie's best material: CIA Agent Sam Eagle and Interpol Agent Jean Pierre Napoleon (Ty Burrell) hot on the trail of Constantine and Dominic. Here, we get a different type of Muppet movie entirely from what Segel and the A-plot in Most Wanted are opting: the old fashioned vaudeville act, with Sam standing as an independent entity from his googly-eyed brethren, on a goofy, musical prowl with Burrell that fuels the film with its best and most consistent chuckles. Their Interrogation Song number is outstanding, exemplifying the many talents of Flight of the Conchords' Bret McKenzie, who wrote all the music for this and the previous film.
Unfortunately, Muppets Most Wanted isn't sure that it wants to be The Great Muppet Caper, beheld so stubbornly to its Segelian roots. There's a palpable compulsion to stick with this agonizingly self-aware, nostalgia-crazy, brimming-beacons-of-the-past-in-a-callous-today theme that doesn't work a fraction as well as it did in the 2011 film. Without a legitimate celebration of any of our favorite characters, how could it? With so much going on in this movie, and such a lengthy runtime at just under two hours, it's a sure sign of failure that we walk away feeling like we spent barely any time with the Muppets.

Rob Arnott's keynote session at the ETF Virtual Summit on Wednesday focused on the coming 3-D hurricane—debt, deficit and demography. After hearing Arnott's bleak assessment, he might consider adding a fourth "D" for depression.
The chairman and founder of Research Affiliates and the pioneer of fundamental indexing joined host Tom Lydon for a short interview about his economic and market outlook and specific strategies for 2013.
Beginning with the country's debt situation, Arnott (left) noted, "We are a family that measures our success by how much money we spend. We have a GFP, gross family product. It feels great to go out and buy a car we can't afford and a house we can't afford. Until the bill comes due all is well. Then it all falls apart."
He added that in 2011, U.S. debt reached 100% of GDP, but if its Social Security liability and Medicare and Medicaid liabilities are factored in, the debt rises to 600% of GDP.
"If you owe six times your personal income, logic dictates that it is not sustainable," Arnott said.
From an investment standpoint, he said it's best to realize "what must happen will happen and what cannot happen will not happen. You should evaluate how you get from point A to point B in that frame of mind, meaning taking the path of least resistance."
Lydon interjected to ask him about inflation, noting the government doesn't appear to be too concerned with the issue. Is there any truth to it?
"No," Arnott said. "Inflation peaked at 14% in 1980. Today, that number would be the equivalent of around 10%, only because they've changed the way in which they calculate the number. Who really believes their personal inflation rate was under 2% last year? Their masking the real problem, and it gives a false sense of security."
Turning to the last "D," demography, Arnott pointed out (with some frustration) that in 2012, for the first time in history, the population of senior citizens grew faster than the population of working-age adults.
"I didn't see this reported anywhere in the media. I encouraged them to do it, and I was looking for it, but didn't see it anywhere. The 1:1 ratio we currently have goes to 10:1 in 10 years in the wrong direction."
"We're experiencing the early gusts of this 3-D hurricane," he concluded. "Japan is getting it now, and Europe is closer than we are. Forward-looking, bonds and stocks will yield 2%. GDP growth will be closer to 1%. None of this is dangerous; it's still growth. What is dangerous is an expectation of having more, and receiving less."

Residents of Doolittle and the surrounding area will have a new tool to keep them safe from violent storms with the help of a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grant.
The grant will provide the city with $30,000 toward the purchase of two storm warning sirens, and the city and Doolittle Rural Fire Protection District will each contribute an additional $5,000 in matching funds.
The Meramec Regional Planning Commission (MRPC) assisted with the grant application at the request of Doolittle Mayor Paul Smith.
Currently, the city does not have any storm sirens to give advanced warning of violent and potentially tornadic storms.
"Right now, our police will sometimes go around and run their sirens to warn our people about approaching storms, but that isn't always very effective," Smith said.
The city will begin searching for two property owners willing to donate easements to the city for the siren placement in the next few months. According to Smith, the city and Doolittle Rural Fire Protection District would like to place one siren on the east end of the city and one on the west end of the city. The intention is that by placing the sirens on the edges of town, they will be heard by the many rural residents who reside outside of the Doolittle city limits also.
"This isn't just about the City of Doolittle," Smith said. "It is about our entire area."
While Smith says he hopes to have the project completed sooner, it may take up to 18 months to complete. Once property for the sirens is obtained, the sirens will have to be ordered, installed and tested to ensure they are working properly.

Dr. Joanna Anderson named president of SFCC
SEDALIA—State Fair Community College has hired Dr. Joanna Anderson as the fifth president in its 45-year history.
The SFCC Board of Trustees unanimously voted at a special closed meeting today to enter into an employment contract with Anderson. She will begin her tenure as the next president on July 1, 2013.
"The board looks forward to the leadership that Dr. Anderson will bring to SFCC," said Gary Noland, board president. "Throughout the search process, Dr. Anderson impressed both the board and the search committee with her passion and devotion to community colleges and the students we serve. She possesses an excellent combination of experience and leadership skills to help SFCC build on its long history of success and move confidently into the future."
Anderson, 56, has 26 years of experience working in the community college setting. Since 2007 she has served as vice president for Student Services at Casper College, a community college of about 5,000 students in Casper, Wyo. She is one of three senior administrators who report to the president.
Before taking that position, she spent 21 years administering multiple departments at North Central Missouri College in Trenton, including serving as dean of Student Services, director of Public Relations, director of Admissions, and as an adjunct instructor.
Anderson received a doctorate in Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis in 2010 from the University of Missouri; a Master of Science degree in Education Curriculum and Instruction in 1998 from William Woods University; a Bachelor of Science degree in Agricultural Journalism in 1978 from the University of Missouri; and an Associate of Arts degree in 1976 from Trenton Junior College (North Central Missouri College).
Anderson was one of two finalists recommended to the board by the search committee to visit SFCC last week for an interview and public presentation.
Anderson was hired by the board with a two-year contract for a period from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2015. Her salary for the 2013-2014 fiscal year will be $150,000.
Dr. Marsha Drennon, the college's fourth president, will retire effective June 30. She announced her retirement plans in April 2012.

Last weekend, my husband left for his annual camping/hiking trip in the Sierras. My son was home, on a rare night off. I took advantage of the opportunity to make a seafood dinner for him. Fortunately, wild-caught Pacific Cod was on sale. I'll jump ahead and tell you, that we both loved this dinner.
While the crumbs were cooling, I set up the breading station for the fish. In a pie plate, add about 1/4 flour.
In another pie plate, whisk eggs, horseradish (if using), mayonnaise, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), and ¼ teaspoon black pepper until combined. NOTE: I didn't add the horseradish, though I love it. My husband and son despite horseradish.
VERDICT: While the fish was baking, the aroma made us really hungry. I think that this recipe is kid-friendly. Seriously. The fish coating had a perfect "crunch" to it, and no sogginess at all. The flavor of the shallots had transformed to a sweet note, with a very mild flavor of onion. We both agreed that we did not need a tartar sauce, but just a generous squeeze of fresh lemon. I thought the fish was a teensy bit dry, but my son didn't. My advice is to watch the temperature of the fish very closely! The crispy oven-roasted potatoes were a perfect side dish that I made along side the baked chicken. Here's how I did it:

Color consultation is something that most people never put a lot of thought into when they are designing their house. Most people only know that color can create a unique mood in the room, but how to effect it becomes a challenge. There is so much more that goes into picking the right colors for your painting in Muncie needs. You need to get the color scheme right so that all the design elements are put together in a way that there is a good transition from one room to the other. The key here is to create balance and harmony all through the house. There are people who mismatch their colors to the point where they end up with a lot of chaos on the walls.
Before hiring an expert for your painting in Muncie, one of the first things you need to do is figure out the costs. You would not want to spend so much on a painting project that might end up being too expensive for you in the long run. Discuss with your contractors the type of paint, the quality of the paint and any other factors that they will consider when painting your house. This makes it easier for you to plan for the project and meet the costs.
On average, most of the contractors who offer professional painting in Muncie will charge you $70 an hour for their services. There are also painters who will only charge a flat rate for the work that they do for you at home. Whichever the case, make sure you are getting nothing but the best services, and from a company that has years of experience in the field.
Usually, it will. In fact, it gets worse when you are adamant about your personal tastes and preferences and cannot change them for anything. This is a big problem that most of the Muncie painting contractors go through all the time. You come across a client who is hell-bent on a specific color scheme, even if it does not auger well with the rest of the house or the furniture in the house. Much as the colors you choose to paint in your house will reflect your personal tastes and lifestyle choices, you still need to make sure that you get the perfect blend. Consult an expert to identify the ideal mix or how to cascade from one color to the other between rooms.
The type of light and the direction of the source of light are key determinants when you are looking to get the perfect results for your painting service in Muncie. This is one of the reasons why your contractors will always want to know the position of the doors and windows, and their direction regarding the sun. There are different sources of light other than the sun which will have an impact on this decision such as LED bulbs, halogen lights, fluorescent lights etc. Upon their assessment, they can advise you on the best way to go about this.
Yes, they do. In fact, this is one of the most commonly overlooked factors. Your furniture, the cabinets, the fireplace, and flooring are all important elements that will dictate the color theme you will choose when painting the house. Even accessories in the house have a huge impact on your Muncie painting choices. If you ignore them, you will end up painting the house but have fixtures, appliances, and fittings that seem out of place.

- Documents the outcome of your efforts.
You can also link to documents that describe your clean-up efforts. The following tips describe how to document actions for specific penalties.
- Manipulation of backlinks: Provide a list of links you have taken action on. You should make good-faith effort to remove backlinks before using the disavow tool. It can also be helpful to document the effort involved in removing those links. Simply disavowing all backlinks without attempting to remove them might lead to rejection of your request.
- Selling links on your site: Provide examples of pages where you added
nofollowattributes to the violating links or removed the links altogether. When you receive examples of violating links, make sure you extrapolate that information to fix similar links on your site.
- Thin or scraped content: Provide examples of bad content you removed and good content that you added.
- Purchased domain: If you recently purchased a domain that you think has violated our guidelines before you owned it, use the reconsideration request form to let us know that you recently acquired the site and that it now adheres to the guidelines.
Common reconsideration request pitfalls
These are some of the most common mistakes we've seen when webmasters file a reconsideration request. Review this list to make sure you don't make similar mistakes with your reconsideration request.
1. Not using disavow correctly
We often see the disavow tool used incorrectly so keep the following things in mind when using the tool:
- If you can get a backlink removed, make a good-faith effort to remove the link first. Blindly adding all backlinks to the disavow file is not considered a good-faith effort, and will not be enough to make your reconsideration request successful.
- For multiple links from the same domain to your site, use the 'domain:' operator in the disavow file for convenience.
- Make sure you don't disavow organic links to your site.
2. Not using Fetch as Google while cleaning hacked content
We often see cloaked content when a site has been hacked, meaning that Google crawlers see different content than what's being shown to you or your visitors.
One way to see whether or not your site has been exploited in this way is to use the Fetch as Google feature in Search Console to see the same content that Google crawlers see. We unfortunately have to reject many reconsideration requests because the underlying compromise of the website hasn't been fixed, which means we still see spammy content when we crawl the page. Read more about Cloaking and sneaky redirects.
3. Submitting reconsideration requests for empty sites
In general, you should only submit your reconsideration request after the site has real content useful to people searching for it. The following are examples of sites that are not ready to be reconsidered:
- Blank sites: Sites with many pages that have little to no content.
- Parked domains: Domains that have no actual content but simply act as a placeholder.
- Inaccessible sites due to errors such as server errors: Read our crawl errors article for more information.
Ensure you're not violating any of our quality guidelines before submitting a reconsideration request. If your reconsideration request is unsuccessful, spend time understanding the manual action and fixing the issues before submitting another reconsideration request. If you need help with your reconsideration request, post a question on our webmaster help forum.

7/16 Stopping by Smooth sailing down the ramp
Derby-racing champ makes raceway renovation his Eagle Scout project
YAMHILL — There's nothing like sailing down the derby ramp in Yamhill's Beulah Park, according to Michael Paolo, a four-time Derby Day champion.
You sit there, high off the ground in your derby car, waiting for an official to start the race. You're a little nervous and a lot excited. The kid in the car next to you is excited too. Maybe you exchange a few words of encouragement, or maybe joke with each other a little, if you're friends.
Then, suddenly, the board that holds the cars in place drops. You surge forward, faster and faster as you whoosh down the wooden ramp and onto the pavement. You keep your head done and hold the wheel steady. The crowd cheers and cheers and cheers as you cross the finish line.
"It's a thrill," he said.
Michael isn't the only Yamhill-area resident who has fond memories of Yamhill Derby Days' flagship competition.
The soap box derby has been the centerpiece of Derby Days since the annual festival started 60 years ago. Children 8 to 11 compete for prizes and bragging rights, just as their parents and grandparents, siblings and cousins did before them.
Families look forward to the derby races, and other activities that have become part of the festival, all year long. Race day itself is pretty important, Michael said.
Everything needs to be just right — especially the derby ramp and raceway.
But it wasn't, he decided after taking a look earlier this year. "There were more bumps in lane number one than lane number two," said Michael, who'll start his freshman year at Yamhill-Carlton High School in the fall.
He's too old to compete in derby car racing now. But when he was the right age, he won most of the heats in which he competed. He won the right to paint the words "Michael Paolo, Champion" on his white derby car, too.
Not only was lane one bumpier, but the entire paved area was fatigued. Moss was encroaching and cracks were spreading. And the gravel runout area, where cars roll to a stop after crossing the finish line, was looking shabby.
"It just wasn't very perfect," Michael said.
As luck would have it, Michael was in the process of becoming an Eagle Scout. He needed to earn three more merit badges, in rifle shooting, hiking and aviation. And he needed to complete a special Eagle project.
Fixing the derby track would fulfill the project requirement, he decided. It would take planning, organization and teamwork, and it would help the community. That meets the requirements.
"Ideally, you want the ramp to be nice and smooth, so you'll keep your speed going," Michael told Yamhill city councilors when he approached them with his project proposal.
The council thought it was a great idea. Councilors liked it so much, in fact, that they wanted it to be more extensive.
If Michael organized the derby track improvements, the city would chip in for additional paving material for the area next to the track, where the frog jumping contest takes place, and behind the restrooms.
Throughout the project, Michael coordinated with Yamhill Public Works Director Richard Howard.
"I threw out ideas for him and he'd approve them or not," the teen said. "It was like teamwork with me and him."
They had to tweak the plans a little when it turned out laying a drain pipe under the track wouldn't work. But for the most part it ended up as Michael, Howard and the council had envisioned.
Michael started the project in March by going to the city council. Work in the park started in April, and he expected to be finished by June 1.
But in mid-May, he re-assessed the project and asked the city to extend the deadline to early July. Things would be wrapped up well before Derby Days, he promised.
The project had many parts that Michael had to organize. He filled what amounted to a general contractor role, he said.
First, he had to take the measurements of the area to be paved — the width, length and depth of paving required. Then he had to send those specifications to paving companies, seeking bids on the project.
Signature Paving was the successful bidder. But before it could come in, Michael and colleagues from Boy Scout Troop 268, based at the Yamhill Latter-day Saints Church, had a lot of work to do.
They had to break up the old, decrepit pavement and dispose of it. Then they had to prepare the area to be paved by leveling it and spreading and leveling gravel.
Several stumps marred the run-out area, and they had to be removed. Jim Phillips of Laughlin Logging volunteered his time and equipment for that.
"My dad helped arrange that," Michael said. "He knew Jim Phillips, so he called him and asked him to help."
Micheal's parents, Murray and Karly Paolo, also helped by covering the cost of paving and striping. The city paid for the rest of the paving.
"Beulah Park is the city's treasure," Michael said. "It's been here a long time, and Derby Day has been happening here for almost 60 years."
Michael said the park, set amid a grove of oaks, is the perfect setting for the festival. The trees are a good backdrop for the talent show and karaoke singing Friday night.
After Saturday morning's parade, they provide shade for numerous other Derby Days activities all afternoon and evening — bingo, music, frog jumping, tricycle racing and, of course, the derby racing. "That's the best part," Michael said.

« Back to people
Oscar TorresAlumni, Class of 2009
I grew up in Hartsdale, NY and have been living in the Tri-state area for most of my life.
I am one of those people who is interested in learning a little bit of everything. I began with Math and Sciences in an attempt at Engineering while at WCC. I moved on to Fine Art and was introduced to Graphic Design at SUNY Purchase. This led me into the direction of Interactive Design which I picked up on my own and practiced at Grey Worldwide as a Sr. Multimedia Designer. In the span of 3 and a half years I was promoted to Art Director and then Creative Director. As a Creative Director I realized that there are very interesting things out in the world that I would like to learn more about. With the free time I have available while at ITP, I plan to continue making lots of art.

Convict in 2 Portland 1993 murders being released
[News-Register subscribers click here to read local story with reactions from Yamhill County officials.]
PORTLAND — A man convicted of murder in the 1993 slayings of two women in Portland is being released from prison Friday.
Scott William Cox of Newberg was sentenced to 25 years, and with time off for good behavior and credit for time spent in jail, his term is up.
The Oregonian reports the 49-year-old is being moved to the Yamhill County Jail and will live in subsidized housing while he looks for work. The community corrections director, Ted Smietana, says he'll have to check in daily with a probation officer.
If Cox had been convicted in 1995, after Oregon voters approved Measure 11, he would have been sentenced to at least 50 years in prison.
Police in other states, including Mountlake Terrace, Wash., continue to investigate Cox in other killings.

Short after that experience I went to live in the US for a while and was given the PB shock treatment and found out I actually loved it in baked goods. So now, back home, I usually have a jar arround, it's like having a bit of America in my fridge. Last week I saw on Cookiemadness a nice looking and simple peanut butter cookie and over the weekend I made myself a batch to use up the rest of a long time opened pb jar.
Here we don't have peanut butter chips (asked in the original recipe), but we do have a saying that says "If you don't have a dog, go hunting with a cat", so I added other stuff and came up with this version:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup peanut butter butter
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 cups (170 gr/ 6oz) flour
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
- 1/3 cup sliced almonds
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks
Preheat oven to 180ºC (350ºF). Cream the butter and both sugars. Beat in the peanut butter and egg. Scrape sides of bowl and beat in the salt, baking soda, cinnamon and vanilla. When well blended, add flour and stir until it is blended. Stir in the sesame seeds, chocolate chunks and almonds. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place on cookie sheets about 5 cm (2 inchs) apart. Flatten balls with the bottom of a flat glass (original has them criss-crossed) and bake for 10-12 minutes or until slightly browned around the edges.
This recipe couldn't be simpler and the cookies were very good both in flavour and texture. In fact I loved the raw dough so much that I could have eaten it all like that!

* The product in this article was sent to us by the developer/company.
I spent the greater part of my informative years glued to the front of a Commodore 64 after we wore out our Intellivision. If you were in the Toledo area surfing C-64 bulletin boards in the mid 80's, we probably have already met. When not running the BBS, I spent countless hours wandering around the streets of Skara Brae, as my life was immersed in The Bard's Tale series on the C-64. After taking the early 90's off from gaming (college years) minus the occasional Bill Walsh College Football on Sega, I was re-introduced to PC games in the mid 1990's with a couple of little games called DOOM II and Diablo. I went all-in with the current generation of consoles, getting an Xbox 360 on launch weekend as well as adding a PS3 and Wii in subsequent years. I now am into the next-gneration (latest?) of consoles with the WiiU and Xbox One. Although I haven't taken the plunge on the PS4 yet, it has my interest peaked, especially as my kids continue to grow and their gaming tastes evolve.
While my byline is on many reviews, articles and countless news stories, I have a passion for and spent the last several years at GamingNexus focusing on audio & video and accessories as they relate to gaming. Having over 20 years of Home Theater consulting and sales under my belt, it is quite enjoyable to spend some of my time viewing gaming through the A/V perspective. While I haven't yet made it to one of the major gaming conventions (PAX or E3), I have represented GamingNexus at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in nine of the last ten years.
I have been a staff member at GamingNexus since 2006 and feel lucky to have the opportunity to put to use my B.A. in Journalism from The Ohio State University.
