Slovenia has some of the greatest subterranean biodiversity in the whole world. The aquatic fauna with 200 species is by far the richest, while the terrestrial fauna with 150 species is second only to more southern parts of the Dinaric Karst. Five Slovenian cave systems have been listed among the 20 richest cave systems in the world. The Postojna-Planina Cave System with its 50 aquatic and 35 terrestrial species is by far the most abundant. The Cave Protection Act protects the subterranean environment as a whole. The state in subterranean habitats has been observed to deteriorate; the decline is especially drastic around Kočevje.
The indicator shows the number of species in subterranean habitats in Slovenia. Only obligate subterranean species, also known as troglobitic species, have been taken into consideration. The figures have been rounded off, since they are constantly on the rise due to the advancements in research. The number of species in subterranean waters, i.e. cave as well as sandy and gravelly alluvia, encompasses approximately 8% of all freshwater fauna in Europe. The share of terrestrial cave fauna cannot be determined.
A considerable predominance of obligate subterranean species over surface immigrants in the subterranean water body also suggests a high level of cleanliness and thereby the usefulness of subterranean water.

To preserve a high level of biodiversity and to halt the decline in biodiversity by 2010:
– to preserve or to achieve a favourable state of species and habitat types which are endangered or located in areas designated as important for the preservation of biodiversity (for example the Ramsar localities).
Slovenia has an exceptional number of obligate subterranean species. It seems that aquatic fauna with 200 species is by far the richest, while the terrestrial fauna with 150 species is second only to more southern parts of the Dinaric Karst. Roughly 55% of aquatic fauna is comprised of tiny crabs, while 25% are little snails. Over 50% of terrestrial species are beetles. The highest density of species is in the Dinaric Karst in southern Slovenia and other Karst areas, some aquatic fauna is also found in groundwater in non-Karst lowlands.
The number of obligate subterranean species by individual cave systems is also high. As many as five Slovenian cave systems have been listed among the 20 richest cave systems in the world. The Postojna-Planina Cave System with its 50 water and 35 terrestrial species is by far the most abundant. Another advantage of this system is the plethora of "young" surface immigrants in the underground stream and the entrance passages. Of special interest are species which are progressively better adjusted to the subterranean world as we move along the underground stream. Apart from caves, a very high number of species are also found in the water of the gravelly lowlands of the Ljubljana Plain (Ljubljansko polje).
Most subterranean animals are not threatened by collectors (scientists or merchants), they are, however, all threatened by pollution, which normally originates from the surface. Many substances also pose a direct threat to the underground life. The introduction of seemingly less dangerous organic substances into the underground enables the invasion of surface species, which are driving out obligate subterranean species. Water in the underground purifies itself only to the level of nitrates, which then accumulate. Therefore merely the proteus and subterranean beetles require and are given special protection by the Decree on protected wild animal species (OG of the RS, Nos. 46/2004, 109/2004, 84/2005, 115/2007 and 32/08-decCC). This decree also protects the habitats of other subterranean species, i.e. the subterranean environment as a whole. Apart from that, a substantial part of especially biodiverse areas is partly under Natura 2000 protection, while only the rather poor subterranean fauna of the Škocjan Caves is under special protection (as a Ramsar wetland).
The state of waters in sandy and gravelly deposits below the plain surfaces is deteriorating; there are also fewer and fewer usable wells where it is rather simple to monitor the conditions. The state has deteriorated significantly in certain places in the Karst areas as well. The invasion of surface species along the underground stream was observed in the Postojna-Planina Cave System in the post-war period, but after remediation the state has improved. The state around Kočevje is extremely bad. Some subterranean waters are polluted due to intensive stockbreeding, others due to landfills; the once exceptionally dense proteus colonies have since disappeared. Similar phenomena can be observed elsewhere, though to a smaller extent; animals previously present in not particularly polluted caves often cannot be found anymore. There is no systematic monitoring of these changes.
The majority of obligate subterranean species are endemic. This means that they are only limited to a certain place or area. They are mostly limited to the southern half of Slovenia, many of them even to a much narrower area. In addition, their general habitats are broken up into various small patches, making all these species endangered.
The Department of Biology at the Biotechnical Faculty of the University of Ljubljana collects detailed data on the abundance of species in subterranean habitats for all areas of the former Yugoslavia in the database Subterranean fauna of the wider Dinaric area. The register includes published and yet unpublished data. Data beyond this area are collected and published only for a smaller number of countries, while data for areas with the same surface (which are thus comparable) are still being prepared. The numbers for Bulgaria and the US have been derived from the publications by their local researchers.
With a view to nature protection, the Department of Biology at the Biotechnical Faculty at the University of Ljubljana has created a scoring system for the evaluation of objects. The numbers of obligate subterranean species – troglobites, as well as their endemism, typical localities, etc., are taken into consideration. Points are added for non-troglobitic fauna and other ecological aspects, such as bat colonies, the underground stream fauna, habitat diversity, etc. Points are also added for non-biological aspects: cultural-historical significance, aesthetic values, education, economy (tourism, drinking water) and other aspects.

What is the Pitman Arm Shaft Seal all about?
In order to transmit direction from the steering wheel to the vehicle's wheels and tires, a complex network of interconnected components is used. The steering wheel connects to two different steering shafts, which connect to the gearbox. The pitman arm connects to the other side of the gearbox, and is responsible for helping to move the wheel in the desired direction.
The pitman arm shaft seal essentially serves the same purpose as the steering shaft seal – it prevents power steering fluid from exiting the gearbox. It is protected by a dust cover, which helps to ensure that dirt and dust don't compromise the interior seal. Both are held in place by snap rings.
Replacing a pitman arm shaft seal is a little simpler than replacing a steering shaft input seal, and it can be done without removing the gearbox. With that being said, the pitman arm does need to be disconnected and moved out of the way, and there is a significant amount of teardown needed. Have one of our expert mechanics replace the pitman arm shaft seal if required.
Keep in mind:
- The pitman arm shaft seal should be inspected during normal suspension repairs and wheel alignments.
- The seal can be inspected if a problem is noticed – a visual inspection from under the vehicle is possible if car is placed on a lift.
- Like all other seals on your vehicle, pitman arm shaft seals will eventually need to be replaced due to wear and tear.
How it's done:
- The vehicle's front wheels are put straight and the vehicle is lifted and supported on jack stands
- The defective steering pitman arm shaft seal is removed
- The new steering pitman arm shaft seal is installed
- The vehicle is removed from jack stands
- The vehicle is started and checked for steering operation
Our recommendation:
Without a reliable pitman arm shaft seal, dirt and dust can enter the gearbox, and power steering fluid can leak out. Power steering fluid is both corrosive and flammable, and low fluid levels can damage your steering system. If you suspect you have a leaking seal, we recommend having it diagnosed by one of our expert mechanics.
What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Pitman Arm Shaft Seal?
- Low power steering fluid in the reservoir (indicative of a leak at some point in the system)
- Power steering fluid on the ground behind one of the front tires
How important is this service?
Having your pitman arm shaft seal replaced is important for maintaining the health and functionality of your system overall. If you have noticed low fluid, or fluid leaks on the ground below the pitman arm, we recommend having one of our expert mechanics diagnose the issue and then repair the system.

Molecular machines: the Nobel prize in chemistry was awarded for the miniaturization
Wednesday, 5 October in Stockholm by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced the decision to award the Nobel prize in chemistry for the year 2016. Honours three scientists: Frenchman Jean-Pierre Sauvage (Jean-Pierre Sauvage) from the University of Strasbourg, a native of Scotland, sir George. Fraser Stoddart (Sir J. Fraser Stoddart) from northwestern University (Illinois, USA) and Bernard L. Feringa (Bernard L. Feringa), University of Groningen (Netherlands).
photo: AP
The wording on the award reads: "for the design and synthesis of molecular machines." This year's winners contributed to the miniaturization of technology that can have a revolutionary impact. Sauvage, Stoddart and Feringa not only miniaturizzati machine, but also gave chemistry a new dimension.
As stated in the press release the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the first step to a molecular machine Professor Jean-Pierre Sauvage made in 1983, when he successfully joined the two ring-shaped molecules together, forming a circuit known as catenin. Usually the molecules are strong covalent bonds in which atoms share electrons, but in this circuit they are connected to a more free mechanical contact. Allow the machine to perform a task, it is necessary that it consisted of parts that can move relative to each other. Two connected rings fully comply with this requirement.
The second step was made by Fraser Stoddart in 1991, when he developed rotaksan (view of the molecular structure). He slipped the molecular ring in thin molecular axis, and showed that this ring can move along the axis. Rotaxane based on such developments as molecular Elevator, the molecular muscle based on a molecule of a computer chip.
Bernard Feringa was the first man who developed a molecular motor. In 1999, he received a molecular rotor arm, rotating constantly in one direction. Using molecular motors, it rotated glass cylinder, which was 10 thousand times more than the motor, also, the scientist has developed nanoker.
Interestingly, the winners of the 2016 is not particularly "light" in various lists of favorites that appear every year in anticipation of the "Nobel week".
Among those who this year the media predicted the prize in chemistry, for example, George M. Church and Feng Zhang (both work in the US) – for the use of genome editing CRISPR-cas9 in human cells and mice.
In the lists of favorites featured scientist from Hong Kong's Dennis Lo (Dennis Lo Ukmin) for the discovery of cell-free fetal DNA in plasma materinskoy, which has revolutionized non-invasive prenatal testing.
Was called and the names of Japanese scientists Hiroshi Maeda and Yasuhiro Matsumura (for the discovery of the effect of the increased permeability and detention of the macromolecular drugs, which is a key finding for cancer treatment).
Some sources were to be found the name of the chemist Alexander Calm, born in Moscow, but after moving his family to America, living and working in the United States. It is called "a rising star of chemistry." By the way, the only Soviet Nobel prize in chemistry was academician Nikolay Semenov in 1956 for the development of the theory of chain reactions. Most among the recipients of this prize are scientists from the United States. On the second place – German scientists, the third – British.
The prize in chemistry may be called "the most Nobel of the Nobel prize". After all, the man who founded the award, Alfred Nobel was the chemist and the Periodic system of chemical elements near mendelevium is the nobelium.
The decision to award this award takes the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. From 1901 (when the first award in the field of chemistry was the Dutchman Jakob Hendrik Vant-Goff) at the 2015 Nobel prize in chemistry was awarded 107 times. Unlike similar awards in physics, or medicine, it is often awarded to one winner (in 63 cases), but not multiple at once. However, only four women have become laureates in chemistry – among them Marie Curie, who had also Nobel prize in physics, and her daughter Irene Joliot-Curie. The only person who received a chemical "Nobel" twice, became Frederick Sanger (1958 and 1980).
The young was awarded a 35-year-old Frederic Joliot, received the award in 1935. And the oldest was John B. Fenn, who is Nobel award "caught" at the age of 85 years.
Last year Nobel laureates in chemistry have become Tomas Lindahl (UK) and two scientists from the United States – Gender Modric and Aziz Sancar (a native of Turkey). The award was presented to them for "mechanical studies of DNA repair".

Crab Cart
Using Crab Cart For Bait article by John Staten
Crab Cart has been a well kept secret from the Whitby area for quite some years now.
Crab cart is the insides of an edible crab, as simple as that. You can get the crabs from most fishmongers / shell fish suppliers. Or if you live within distance of the coast, you can get them off plenty of boats when they land their catch. It shouldn't take you long to sort out a regular supply if needed. Just make sure the crabs bought are over the legal landing size. Scoop out the insides of a few edible crabs, apart from the lungs and mix together in a bowl, make sure it is a large bowl, you don't want this stuff going everywhere, it DOES smell!
You can cook the claws for your own enjoyment, personally I prefer crab to lobster, not everyone's choice I know, but I do love crab claws as a snack!
You can freeze down the crab cart on an old baking tray or something similar, obviously telling the good lady indoors what you are doing with it!! Then once frozen it can be cut into sizeable bait portions. Most guys seem to use either cling-film to wrap it or finger bandage. My personal choice is finger bandage, it tends to hold the crab cart longer and doesn't, for me, wash out as quick as cling-film.
One or two of the 'clever' lads use a sausage making machine and make 'cart sausages' but do remember if you do use this method NOT to get mixed up with the Cumberland sausage your wife bought for your Sunday breakfast!
Google 'crab cart' and you should come up with a few ways to make and use it now it's 'secret' is starting to get out there. I do know one or two 'online' bait suppliers are now starting to sell it, but I would be wary of getting any frozen down and sent through the post as it does defrost very, very quickly. Take heed.
One other way to 'wrap' your crab cart is by using Arma Mesh, some guys I know have tried the method the same as me but most of us have found that it washes out very quickly. Though I do use Arma Mesh for quite a few other baits and find it fine. Mussel and any left over lug or ragworm come to mind.
You can use crab cart on it's own or as a 'cocktail'. Depending, as a sea fishing bait it can out-fish most other baits on it's day but it is certainly NOT the be all and end all as some have you believe.
I have a wide mouthed flask I take with me, a few frozen baits in there then take a few out as and when needed.
One other good thing about using crab cart is that most anglers who use it agree, that it doesn't appear to lose it's affectiveness if re-frozen. I have used it when it has been re-frozen a few times as I always take more than I would probably use because of the distance I travel for my fishing. I can't just pop back for some extra if I run out!
Crab cart will account for most species of fish but does excel when fishing for cod. Try it and you might just find out what the 'whitby' lads have known for years but being 'canny' have kept to themselves...until now!
One last point, do make sure you keep this well away from the wife's food in the freezer if you don't have a freezer in the garage etc for your own use or a divorce could easily be on the cards because as I have already mentioned, this stuff really DOES smell when defrosted!
Happy fishing.

Slice the file and print each "bead" separately. Make sure there are holes to thread them together.
The base may need to be printed with support material and/or in two pieces that are then glued together (sliced horizontally).
For the base, use a piece of aluminium tube, mark it in place and cut to size with a little circular saw dremmel attachment. File off the burred edges, fit it (pushing it in with a chopstick to not damage the thin tube), file a bit more, and then use a tapered punch to spread the two ends so it doesn't come out easily. You may need to soften the plastic to make sure the edges are flush and brush the wire inside the tube to remove the worst of the marks made by the punch.
The wire is coated stainless shark trace, and aluminium 1.5mm electricians "bootlace ferrule" was used for the crimped join.

Marine guarding school apologizes for posing as marine sergeant
JohnThomas Didymus
Dec 22, 2012 in
Craig Pusley, a man standing guard outside Hughson Elementary School, Modesto, Calif., claimed falsely that he is a Marine Sergeant, reports say. He admitted that he had only borrowed fatigues from a friend and that he is only a "private first class."
According to
Christian Post
, Pusley has apologized for the damage and controversy that his action has caused. He explained that he only wanted to help make students feel safe after the horrific tragedy at Sandy Hooks Elementary School, Newtown, Connecticut. According to the
Christian Post
, he said he feels "horrible" about the negative publicity he brought to the Marine Corps.
A photo of Pusley standing guard outside the Hughson Elementary School was posted to various websites. In the photos, he wore the insignia of the rank of sergeant. According to the
Christian Post
, when he was asked why he was standing guard outside the school, he said he wasn't going to allow children in the neighborhood live in fear of coming to school. He told a reporter: "I just want to have a word to this community that I stand between them and any danger."
The Modesto Bee
reports Pusley said: "I'm part of a Marine Corps fraternity, and I started noticing online postings that if Marines stood in front of schools, we never would have had the Connecticut problem. When I enlisted, I swore to defend this country from all enemies, foreign and domestic. I just want to be sure all these kids go home safe for Christmas."
NY Daily News
reports that Pulsey, who has a 3-year-old son, stood guard in combat fatigue but was not armed. He said he does not need a weapon: "I don't have a fear in the world that if someone came here, I'd have the strength and the ability to protect."
Although, media reports said Pusley, 28, left the Corps as a sergeant after deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan,
Navy Times
reports that Marine officials say he graduated from boot camp at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, but was in the service less than a year. According to
Navy Times
, Pusley is not a Marine Sergeant and he has never risen above the rank of private first class. His official designation is "basic Marine."
However, Pusley told
Marine Corps Times
that he never lied about his military service. He claimed that the reporter who first interviewed him got her story wrong. He said: "There's a lot of fabrication to this story that didn't come out of my mouth. All I know is that I talked to a Modesto Bee lady, and everything went crazy."
Military Times
, however, reports that Mick Rubalcava of
Modesto News
, provided a video of Pusley saying he is a sergeant and that he served in Afghanistan. He claimed he was wounded in Afghanistan.
Pusley claimed that he's still in the Marine Corps Reserve with "123 Weapons." According to
Military Times
, this refers to the "Weapons Company, 1st Battalion, 23rd Marines." Pulsey told
Marine Times
that he left the Corps in 2008, after serving a year because officials said he went on unauthorized absence.
Military Times
reporter confirmed that story.
Navy Times
also points out that photographs show him wearing the rank insignia of a sergeant. He said he borrowed the uniform from a friend and that he was not aware of the implication of the insignia. He said: "I feel horrible about this. My intention was for the kids. I don't understand why everyone has to find a negative in every situation."
But the
Christian Post
reports that his claim that he borrowed the uniform from a friend only complicates issues for him because such an act is against Marine Corps policy.
He has offered to stand guard in front of the school without wearing Marine Corps uniform. But
Navy Times
reports that Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps Mike Barrett, said: "This is not the right thing. Not the right time. And not the right place. The uniform doesn't make the man. It's your character that defines you."
Military Times
reporter comments: "We come across people in Pusley's predicament frequently... Donald Laisure... in 2009... claimed to be a retired four-star general who earned the Navy Cross, the Silver Star and an Air Medal in a 54-year career that included service in Vietnam, Panama and the Persian Gulf War. In reality, he served less than a year on active duty before leaving the service as a private. California records also show he was once married to convicted murderer Susan Atkins, the ex-wife of serial killer Charles Manson."
Digital Journal
also reported that a Marine and father in Nashville, Staff Sgt. Jordan Pritchard, stood guard outside his childrens' school, Gower Elementary School, in fatigue without a weapon.
He said: "I feel like this is something I had to do."

Viability dye 7-AAD - (Jul/21/2014 )
Does anyone have experience with this dye 7-AAD? I am wondering when to add it to my cells ? i.e. prior to doing my cytofix/cytoperm or at the end of staining with everything.
I am doing a 10-color panel, which includes three intracellular cytokines (TNF, IFNg, IL-2: obviously needing cytofix/cytoperm)
7AAD works on primary live cells, and is not fixable.
You add it right before acquiring live cells on the cytometer. It can be used to stain already fixed, permabilized cells for DNA quantitation.
For fixable viability dyes, look at Invitrogen/Molecular Probes LIVE/DEAD series - available in a broad spectrum.
Similar fixable dyes are available from BioLegend and eBiosciences.
Hi. I have the same confusion as well. I wanted to use 7AAD in conjunction with intracellular staining
If stain the cells with 7AAD, then proceed to fixation and permeabilization for intracellular staining? Would that work?
7-AAD can be used with surface antigen staining/ antibodies but not intracellular markers from the datasheets I have been reading.

In your Deity's eyes, who are you? That's the question. Here's my answer. I am one with the dark God and Goddess. In this I find a life of spiritual and fleshly delights, beyond all natural comprehension. I am the kith and the kin in the aspects of the Great Divine. I am all and the All is within me. I am connected to all things and the power therein. Now the elements and the natural order of the Divine stand within me, and so the rules of conduct have been passed down unto me. Such as, be most mindful of what thou thinks and what thou says and what thou doest. Be mindful of who you trust, because the trust and the respect of the Divine are true treasures to be kept hidden. As it is written, do what thou will under Love for Love is the whole of the Law. I will attempt to take this phrase apart using only the key words. Short definitions:
Love- A feeling of strong personal attachment and affection.
Will- A wish or desire
Law- A binding custom or rule of conduct.
Now with the short definitions of the key words, it reads as such,
I have a strong feeling of personal attachment to the fulfillment of my desires. I am however connected to the elements and nature of the Divine. Therefore I am bound by the customs of conduct to the all and so, I AM.
I am, in the eyes of my Deities, a Satanist.

Our Firm continues to hear from individuals who allegedly experienced side effects caused by the Rejuvenate and ABG II hip stems.
New York, NY (PRWEB) June 29, 2014
Bernstein Liebhard LLP notes the scheduling of a Stryker recall (http://www.strykerhiprecallclaims.com/) status conference in New Jersey's Bergen County Superior Court, where a consolidated metal hip litigation now includes over 1,500 claims.
According to a Calendar posted on the Court's website, a meeting has been scheduled for August 4, 2014 at 1:00 p.m., at which time parties involved in the proceeding will discuss claims filed over the Stryker Rejuvenate and ABG II modular-neck hip stems. Among other things, court documents indicate that cases involved in the litigation similarly allege pain, swelling, and symptoms of metallosis caused by the metal hip replacements, which were subject to a recall which was announced by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on July 6, 2012. (In Re Stryker Rejuvenate Hip Stem and the ABG II Modular Hip Stem Litigation, No. 296)
"We are pleased to see further progress in the New Jersey litigation involving Stryker lawsuits, as our Firm continues to hear from individuals who allegedly experienced side effects caused by the Rejuvenate and ABG II hip stems," says Bernstein Liebhard LLP, a nationwide law firm representing victims of defective drugs and medical devices. The Firm is currently offering free and confidential case evaluations to individuals who may have been injured by the Stryker Rejuvenate and ABG II metal hips.
Stryker Hip Lawsuits
According to a Case List updated on June 18th, a total of 1,581 Stryker lawsuits have now been filed in the New Jersey litigation on behalf of individuals who received the Stryker Rejuvenate and ABG II modular-neck hip stems. These metal hip replacements were subject to a July 2012 recall issued after Stryker Orthopaedics became aware of their potential to fret and corrode at the modular-neck junction. In turn, patients may experience pain, swelling and other adverse tissue reactions, the manufacturer said in its recall announcement. In the months following Stryker's Rejuvenate and ABG II hip recall, the company advised on its website that all patients fitted with one of these devices undergo routine medical screening to monitor for signs of premature device failure, whether or not they are experiencing symptoms.*
Additionally, court documents filed on June 16th show at least 970 Stryker Rejuvenate and ABG II hip lawsuits now pending in a federal litigation underway in the U.S. District Court, District of Minnesota. Claims included in this proceeding similarly accuse Stryker of failing to adequately warn about side effects that may stem from its metal hip replacements, which were defectively designed. Plaintiffs similarly allege chronic pain, osteolysis, tissue necrosis, metallosis and other complications associated with premature failure of the hip. (In re: Stryker Rejuvenate and ABG II Hip Implant Products Liability Litigation, No. 244)
Individuals who were allegedly harmed by the Rejuvenate and ABG II hip stems may be eligible to file their own Stryker hip lawsuit. To learn more about the Stryker hip recall, please visit Bernstein Liebhard LLP's website, or call 800-511-5092 to arrange for a free, no-obligation case review.

Okay, the wedding is now 2 days away. Personally I can't wait. I love a good royal wedding. 30 years ago in June I had my gall bladder removed. In those days it was a real operation complete with long scar and a ten day stay in hospital. I told my doctor I had to be home for the wedding of Lady Diana Spencer and Prince Charles. I was. I remember getting up that July morning, and settling on the couch in the den with my scones and tea. It was high summer and so it was light at 4 a.m.
I'll be getting up at 4 a.m. on Friday to have my tea and raisen scones with lots of butter so I can watch Prince William and Miss Catherine Middleton marry. They're a lovely looking couple with a 9 years long relationship unlike his parents who had only met 13 times before their wedding. Times have changed, and the royal family has slowly and reluctantly entered the 21st century thanks to the late Princess Diana.
Will and Kate are going to do just fine. They understand their duty which is important in a constitutional monarchy. It is after all their job. I wish them all the happiness in the world. Now lets hope the loonies and crazies let them have their day in peace. The rumblings out of London by fringe groups, the sinister mumblings of al Quaida, go beyond annoying. For pity's sake let the kids alone and don't horn in on their celebration.
In a world mired in such misery right now, with unemployment, natural disasters et al this spectacular that the British royals are putting on come Friday should allow us to stop a while, eat scones, drink tea, and enjoy the show if only for a few minutes, or an hour or two. It's free and it's fun.

After a long hard winter I could use some spring warmth and lotsa sunshine. Oh Spring is here on the North Fork of Eastern Long Island alright. If you doubt it just look about you. Golden forsythia, yellow and white daffodils and narcissis, the decorative pink apple, cherry, and pear trees, the delicate creamy white Star Magnolia, all in bloom. The lawns are all greening up and looking lush. It's their time of year and they will not be denied. But it's still chilly here. We get one glorious day of clear skies and bright sun which is followed by 2, 3, 4 chilly, damp days.
However just when I am starting to feel sorry for myself I think of northeastern Japan and how its beautiful landscape has been destroyed not just by a terrible devastating earthquake, and tsunami but by the horrible pollution from the nuclear plants set up in their midst. The soil will take several hundred years to rid itself of this poison. Yes, when I think to whine about the unseasonable chill and damp I think of my readers and friends on South Island New Zealand who must rebuild the city of Christschurch destroyed in an earlier earthquake this winter past. Their city will rise up once more you can be certain, but nothing will ever be the same again for them. Don't forget these folks out on the Pacific Rim. Say a prayer, and not just for them but for the flood victims in our own country.
Then look around you and appreciate the new life that is burgeoning in our midst despite it all. Flowers blooming, lawns greening, the maples and the oaks with their swelling buds just waiting to leaf out. Despite the weather it really is spring. A time of hope and of renewal for us all. The April moon is full. Passover is being celebrated world-wide. All the Christian faiths will come together to celebrate Easter this coming Sunday.
And the cherry on top of it all? A royal wedding in England a week from Friday! Rain or shine. Hot or chill. I just love Spring!

Romance writers probably shouldn't get political but sometimes I cannot help but be outraged by the shenanigans of the folks "in office". You can check out the Wall Street Journal on this one. The president recently decided "to loan" Brazil 2 billion dollars to drill for oil off its coast near Rio. The oil will all go to....China! EXCUSE ME? We're, meaning the U.S taxpayers, paying 2 billion dollars so China can have oil? You didn't see this on any of the national news broadcasts, did you? And the media claims to be unbiased.
First of all if we have two billion dollars, which we don't being in debt up to our ears, why are we "loaning" it to Brazil for the benefit of China? If we have 2 billion dollars shouldn't that money be used to pay for health care for the poor; for repair of roads, bridges, and for bringing every school building in the U.S. of A. and its territories into the 21st century not to mention a laptop for every kid from kindergarten through high school? For paying our military men and women and their families decent wages? None of this is as glamerous as oil in Brazil of course until you discover that the biggest contributor to the president's last election campaign, and probably this one too, is the largest stockholder of that Brazilian oil company.
Please, someone please tell me where it is written that the tax monies collected by this government from U.S. citizens has to be "loaned" or "spent" on other countries. Our tax dollars should be spent on U.S. citizens not foreigners. And if by chance with all the waste down in D.C. we still have monies left over lets invest half of it for future U.S. emergencies, and then share with the rest of the world. The citizens of the United States of America should come FIRST with their own government not LAST as we usually do. SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!

The media and the government have taken in the last few years to calling Social Security an "entitlement". It is not an entitlement. I have paid into it since I was 17. At 73 I am still paying into it because I am still working. I could have made more money had I been allowed to invest that money myself over the years. A helluva lot more money than I get back in return. I'm not advocating Social Security go private. I'm just saying what I could have done. I'm a careful conservative saver, and have been ever since I was 12 and my maternal grandmother took me to the bank to open a savings account with my birthday and Christmas money. I was fascinated by the fact if I gave them my money they would give me back more money. Wow! What a concept for a 12 year old brain to absorb.
Today, however, I am going to rant about Social Security. 3 years ago I took money from my retirement fund to renovate the small house George and I had bought and were moving into. The house built in 1957 hadn't had anything done to it since except a roof or two. But that money added to my modest income put me into the higher bracket. After I had filed my taxes I was informed by Social Security that they would be giving me less money in the following year because I was now considered "rich" by virtue of the fact I had taken money from my retirement fund. Now I certainly expected to pay my taxes on that money even at a higher rate than I usually had. What I did not expect was that my Social Security would be docked because of it. The money, I was told when I asked, would instead be put towards my Medicare account. Yeah. Sure. And that's why I also pay AARP over $6,000 a year for a MedGap policy for George and me.
Okay, I thought. You can't fight the government. I'll bite the bullet. But then they informed my husband that his Social Security was going to be docked too. We file together because it's a bit to our advantage. George is a WWII vet who saw action. He was self-employed so while he supported our family until 30 years ago when we moved out here he didn't make a big income, and was able to save just a little. And he is what is called a "notch baby". He is now 88, has dementia and a heart condition. In the last 3 years Social Security has STOLEN, yes, damnit, STOLEN $240.05 from his monthly social security check or 1/3 of what he is entitled. It's his only income. Sure I support our family but that's became I'm the one who is working. A man is entitled to retain his dignity, and Social Security has taken that away from my husband.
This is how we treat our veterans? A member of the greatest generation? Our elderly? And all the while Social Security is giving money to undocumented persons? But the worst thing of all is that there is nothing we can do about it. Oh, sure, I could stop working. But I won't. But when the day comes that I have to stop working will Social Security restore to me the monies they have been siphoning from my account during these past few years? I doubt it. Even if I am "entitled" to it.

FA removalEdit
Same introductory comment as above for this article, i.e. the "summary" section badly needs edited. --Defiant 23:43, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
- Support: For reasons mentioned above: Too long, wordy and not really a summary. – Distantlycharmed 03:40, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

- Removal passed, archived. --OuroborosCobra talk 16:03, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
FA IIEdit
- - was previously featured, but removed (on my recommendation) as the summary was found to be too long. The summary is now much shorter and there is a lot more background info, as I've thoroughly investigated the making of the episode. There is still also background info from a variety of other users, including writer Mike Sussman himself. --Defiant 01:19, June 3, 2010 (UTC)--
- Support. - Archduk3 19:38, June 5, 2010 (UTC)
- Support, As with part I, impressively well documented and as with part I for future finetuning a listing of production staff is suggested.--Sennim 09:51, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
- Support - another article that has been much improved and worthy of re-featuring.– Cleanse ( talk | contribs ) 04:18, June 15, 2010 (UTC)
- Support. --Nero210 01:03, June 23, 2010 (UTC)
- Support. Very well written and grammatically correct *STAMP OF APPROVAL*--Obey the Fist!! 19:59, June 23, 2010 (UTC)
Spoiler Alert Edit
I'm removing this quote:
"You are speaking to Empress Sato."
- Hoshi Sato (mirror)
It is too much of a spoiler. Gives away the whole fact of her betrayal which is so cooly revealed at the end of Part II, and as a quote is easy NOT TO avoid when causally scannng this Wiki.
- I reverted your edit. For one thing, anything in a Trek episode that has already been shown in the U.S. is fair game here on Memory Alpha. For another, the information in Hoshi Sato (mirror) gives far more detailed information than this single quote does. And third, when the summary for this episode is completely written, it will include the fact that Hoshi declares herself empress anyway. So, there ya go. :) --From Andoria with Love 17:21, 19 Aug 2005 (UTC)
Except that it is easier to avoid reading the sysnopsis rather than a short, 6-word phrase.
Going, going, Gorn Edit
We need a picture of a Gorn in here somewhere.
- I haven't seen the episode, but can anyone surmise what type of alien the actor Pat Healy portrays? Is it the Gorn? --Gvsualan 01:21, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I don't know if it was Pat Healy, but there was definitely a Gorn in the ep - it was mentioned by name as being a Gorn. (I think the Gorn's name was something like Srrral, but no idea on spelling.) --umrguy42 01:42, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- By the looks of it, the Gorn was computer generated, unless an actor was used to help with the placement of it. -- Enzo Aquarius 03:05, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Pat Healy probably played the blue-skinned alien Archer interrogated. --Myko 17:27, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Confirmed, I was just looking over a portion of the script with the 'alien', it was, indeed, the blue-skinned alien that was being interogated. -- Enzo Aquarius 21:03, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
The Gorn slavemaster's name was Slar. And an actor (two in fact) did indeed help with the animation. --User:Sasoriza, May 05 2005
Our Favorite Star Trek Actress... Edit
Can anyone confirm it was Majel Barretts voice doing the Defiant's computer? I think so, but I don't want to put it in til' i'm sure. -AJHalliwell 01:09, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Sorry I can't really help, but I don't remember hearing the computer actually say anything, just make the usual bleeps and bloops and so forth. --umrguy42 01:11, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Captain (or commander, or emporer, or vulcan priest, I lose track) Archer and Hoshi were looking at their files in the 'other universe'. Basically all it said was "working". Still, if that was her, that means she'd have been on all 5 series. -AJHalliwell 01:55, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- That definitely was Majel Barrett's voice. -- Enzo Aquarius 03:05, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- It was. I saw it in the credits "Computer Voice - Majel Barret". --Zeromaru 14:00, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
Does this not make her the longest running role in Star Trek history, despite the fact that Paramount said Worf is? She has played the Role credited only as "Computer Voice" in 561 total episodes TOS (79 episodes) as the USS Enterprise NCC-1701, TNG (178 episodes) as the USS Enterprise NCC-1701– D DS9 (130) as the USS Defiant (both the NX-74205 and NCC-74205) Voyager (172) as the USS Voyager NCC-74656 Enterprise (2) as the USS Defiant NCC-1764
Worf has been in 282 episodes (178 TNG+104 DS9)
Didn't Majel Barret speak the Enterprise-E computer as well (or are we only talking about series here)? --Emissary77 17:38, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
The End? Edit
humm.. i am curious on how this episode ends... it almost seemed to be a continue, but wasn't indicated.. so i guess the story just sort of hangs like that in the 'mirror' world without any interferience, etc?? thank you :D 188.8.131.52 23:40, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
- I bet if enterprise lasted longer, we would have returned to the mirror universe. (Personally, I fell in love with the new opening credits. Not the violence so much, but the music, and I love in a evil way when the Moon ship thing fires on the colony, so wasn't expecting that, lol) But we can assume she does indeed become empress, and it seems like the Terran empire fights off the rebellion, and reverse-engineers the defiant. Curiouse however, that a hundred years from then, their still using Defiant-like technology, huh? -AJHalliwell 23:46, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
Well not necessarily if Kirk's comments on wiping out life on Halkan are taken even semi literally.
Additionally, it looks like the Mirrorverse racked by internecine conflict even within a ship's corridors appears to advance marginally slower. Certainly the ISS Enterprise was not as advanced as you would expect humans to be with stolen Vulcan technology. Or the Klingon/Cardassian Empire later on being decimated by a single Defiant.
I have written the descriptions for this episode's teaser and its first act. However, this is a community effort, so I will leave the rest of the acts for someone else to finish. If they're not completed shortly, however, I will go ahead and finish it before moving on to "These Are the Voyages...". --From Andoria with Love 21:24, 19 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- I lied; I went ahead and started "Voyages". I see no reason why I can't do two episodes at the same time. ;) --From Andoria with Love 19:22, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)
Last Klaxon Use Edit
In the background information is the following fact:
- This episode marks the first time the classic red alert klaxon, which was used throughout all of the classic Star Trek series and throughout Star Trek: The Next Generation, is used since DS9: "The Jem'Hadar", where it was used aboard the USS Odyssey.
However the klaxon sounds in DS9: "Waltz" aboard the USS Honshu. Is that the last use of it until this episode, or is there another afterwards? Hitaka 19:23, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
influence of novels Edit
From Background info--
"Phlox's speech comparing Shakespeare in the two universes was influenced by a passage in the non-canon novel "Dark Mirror", which Sussman read before writing the script. Additionally, author Diane Duane's decision to make the mirror version of Reginald Barclay the personal guard of Mirror Picard inspired Sussman to make Mayweather the chief bodyguard for Archer."
There seem to be other parallels to Diane Duane's novel here, such as their describing the agony booth as a form of "progress" and the use of slave races on starships. And the Empire's "inclusion device" in Dark Mirror becomes the Tholian tri-cobalt warhead that brings the Defiant into the MU.
First contact with Vulcans as a pivotal moment in history is also seen in the Shatner series, though it occurs differently here--Robert Treat 06:40, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
Goof Edit
I think we should mention that:
When Dr. Phlox goes to use the hallway intercom to speak with T'Pol, he activates it by pressing its indicator light rather than the white button. This contradicts the wall intercom's normal operation as seen on the Original Series and an episode of Deep Space Nine, DS9: "Trials and Tribble-ations".
I am of the opinion that we should add it somewhere toward the end of this article; it was the most blatant goof I've ever seen and one that they shouldn't have let by (they obviously never actually WATCHED any TOS...grr). --Alex Munro 05:17, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
- That sounds like it would be better on the intercom page, as it really has little to do with the production of this episode.--Tim Thomason 05:38, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Would you also call it a goof that Slar, the computer-animated Gorn, moved much faster than the "Arena"-Gorn? --Emissary77 17:44, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
The New Voyages Edit
Just a clarification on this bit of background info:
- Since the cost of rebuilding it was too great, Paramount was loaned the conn from the internet fan series Star Trek: New Voyages.
Not really true. The TOS helm console, as well as the captain's chair, had been built by Herman Zimmerman's team for a museum attraction some time before. The set pieces were in storage at Paramount and dusted off for use in "In a Mirror, Darkly". The New Voyages people did help us out -- due to time and budget issues, our art department obtained the helm's "tactical viewscope" from New Voyages... just not the entire console. :) --Mike Sussman - VOY/ENT Writer-Producer 05:41, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the supporting clarification, Mike! (For the record, I fixed the article already...) :) Capt Christopher Donovan 08:42, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
- I also added the info about the conn and its original purpose. Thanks, Mike! :) --From Andoria with Love 05:08, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
IT SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE CAPTAIN KIRK Edit
When Archer is in the Avenger launch bay, addressing the crew, just after his line, "(and who are we to blame for this?)"
That one line alone sounds exactly like it came out of Captain Kirk's mouth. I listened to it over & over & over again, and it convincingly sounds as it was dubbed in with Kirk's voice. (not that it was)
you have to give it a listen mjoshin125Mjoshin125 19:09, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
Archer and AvengerEdit
Something I don't remember if it was made to clear or not, but when Archer...'relieved' Admiral Black, did he assume command, or was it given to whomever had been next inline on Avenger? --Terran Officer 06:35, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
- It was never directly stated, but Soval took command of Avenger after Black's murder, so presumably he was next in command. --From Andoria with Love 13:07, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
Nod to Wok? Edit
I'm wondering if this episode also makes a nod to Wrath of Kahn. When the defiant has been sabotaged, Archer orders Mayweather to get the shields back up with the command "Raise them!" just like Kahn does in Star Trek II (although Kahn says it when the shields drop, as opposed to after power has been restored). Also, the members of Kahn's crew took the uniforms of the Reliant's crew, just like the ISS Enterprise officers do here. Does anyone know of any support for these similarities being intentional? Twilder 15:21, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
- I just watched Wrath of Khan, and his Augments did not wear Reliant uniforms. They wore their own clothes from Ceti Alpha V. - Mitchz95 20:27, September 19, 2011 (UTC)
Translation matrix Edit
- During Archer's first contact with Slar, the Gorn "speaks" in growls and snarls that are somehow converted into a male, English computer voice (likely via a universal translator hidden in a communicator that Slar holds, during the scene).
If I understood Hoshi Sato correctly, she enabled the "translation matrix" when contacting the Gorn. This technology was apparently invented by Sato in the ordinary universe and seems to be the precursor of the Universal Translator used in the other series. What Sato enabled was probably actually the 23rd-century UT.
I'm new to ENT and haven't seen the DVD commentary this is based on, so I'll leave the article text until this can be researched further. Lastorset 10:48, July 28, 2010 (UTC)
Duty uniform correction Edit
I dont think i know how to edit one of these pages, so I will hope someone reads this and does it for me. Under ACT ONE : Hoshi Sato later arrives at the captain's quarters and is amused to find Archer proudly adorned in the dress uniform of the Defiant's former captain.
Clearly, Archer is wearing a casual duty uniform, not a dress uniform. The picture in the article clearly corroborates this.
Can someone please edit that, and perhaps include a link to CASUAL DUTY UNIFORMS?
184.108.40.206 23:05, August 17, 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for your suggestion. I've replaced the reference to the dress uniform.

[F]Free to all,[F7] a [Bb]healing stream
[F]Flows from [C7]Calvary's moun[F]tain.
[F]In the cross, [Bb]in the cross,
[F]Be my glory [C7]ever;
[F]Till my raptured [Bb]soul shall find
[F]Rest be[C7]yond the ri[F]ver.
Near the cross, a trembling soul,
Love and mercy found me;
There the bright and morning star
Sheds its beams around me.
Near the cross! O Lamb of God,
Bring its scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day,
With its shadows o'er me.
Near the cross I'll watch and wait
Hoping, trusting ever,
Till I reach the golden strand,
Just beyond the river.

If playing on the ukulele, it's nice to add a little Bbm during the transition from Bb to F

Reader photo call: Style L.A.: What are you wearing?
Calling all fashionistas! We want to see what you're wearing. Do you have a favorite pair of vintage pumps? Maybe a new Chanel bag, a pair of jeans that fit just right or a fabulous dress? We want to see it all. Style L.A.: What are you wearing? is about the fashion scene in Los Angeles and your style.
Pictured above at left is Ping Ping Chen, 30, of downtown L.A., who says she is "pretty much girly." She likes to mix up "fabrics, layers and textures" so that she's "sparkly disco." She is pictured in front of her artwork. To the right is Brandi Magee of Larchmont Village. "My style is a mixture of modern and retro," says Magee. "I come from an era around the '50s. It's something I feel inside and it manifests itself in my style."
Upload pictures of your style here and every week the Image section will pick a favorite look to feature right here on the All the Rage blog. We can't wait to see your definition of style.

Broadcast may yet release another album. Almost a year after the sudden death of singer Trish Keenan, James Cargill is considering a musical "monument" for his former partner, drawing on Keenan's unreleased recordings.
"I need to figure out what it is I do now," Cargill told Under the Radar magazine. "I made music with Trish, but I also made it for her." Cargill and Keenan had been working on new music for years; although Broadcast originally formed as a quintet, the art-pop band became a duo after 2005's Tender Buttons, their last album. Since then, Broadcast have released one EP, a 2009 collaboration with designer Julian House. "We would've changed again," Cargill said. "That was what I liked about doing [Broadcast]. We never got repetitive."
While "Trish left a lot of tapes, four-tracks and stuff," Cargill says he can't treat this material the same way as they did before Keenan's death. "The next thing I release with Trish on it will be more like a monument and a tribute to her rather than this obsessive thing I used to have about making albums."
"Trish's vocals are really great," Cargill continued. "They're a bit more pastoral, almost a bit more like [2003 album] Haha Sound. I liked the lyrics she was writing. They fit the pastoral, folk thing. She'd taken a lot from Lewis Carroll and some of the nonsense verse she was into. I think it might be a bit more like the older Broadcast."
After recently completing work on the soundtrack to Peter Strickland's Berberian Sound Studio, Cargill will soon return to this material, with help from House. "It's difficult, and I'm connected to it at the same time," he said. "It's wonderful, but I'm also felling a sense of loss."

|Reviews for The Voices
| Fakety Mcfakename chapter 1 . 6/22/2012
Voices are always telling me things to...
but i can't tell what their saying, becuase they're all in Russian.
Good concluding rhyme. i think it would have been cool if you could have worked in a continous rhyme sceme, which broke from the pattern at the end.
