There are several reasons why large mobile and specialty equipment is susceptible to fire. Many operate virtually nonstop, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. They use a host of flammable liquids including lubricating oils, diesel fuels, greases, and hydraulic fluids. And they generate considerable heat from engine blocks, manifolds, turbochargers, electrical components, and brake systems.
When fire breaks out, the results can be dramatic. Expensive repair or replacement is the obvious loss. Extensive downtime and business interruption can result in even greater expense as this equipment often takes many months to replace. And most importantly, fire can mean serious injury to the equipment operator.
Insurance companies are well aware of these risks. Thats why insurance rates are increasing and coverage for this equipment is becoming more difficult to obtain.
The ultimate fire protection solution for "mega class" equipment features the one-two punch of the time-proven LT-A-101 Dry Chemical System and the new LVS™ Liquid Agent System. This combination offers the rapid flame knockdown and pressure-fire extinguishing capabilities of FORAY® Dry Chemical
PLUS the superior cooling effects of LVS™ Wet Chemical.
In response to the mining industrys need for mobile equipment fire protection, Ansul invented and introduced dry chemical fire suppression systems in the 1960s. Since then, equipment in mining and other industries has grown in size and complexity and Ansul has responded over the years with various fire detection and suppression innovations.
Today, "mega class" equipment such as large excavators, shovels, draglines, haul trucks, wheeled loaders, and other specialized equipment presents a formidable fire protection challenge. This equipment contains hundreds of feet of highly pressurized hydraulic lines with hundreds of gallons of hydraulic fluid creating a substantial source of fuel. With size in mind, Ansul system engineers and agent chemists jointly developed a new generation of fire suppression systems.
Youll find LT-A-101 cartridge-operated dry chemical systems on more heavy equipment than any other brand and for good reason. These corrosion-resistant systems are designed to be reliable in the most hostile environments and operate in extreme temperatures ranging from 65° to 210° F (54° to 99° C). Agent containers are available in 30, 125, and 250 lb. (13.6, 56.7, and 113.4 kg) capacities to fit a variety of applications. Dependable expellant gas cartridges are tested to detect a leak rate of just 1/ 4 oz. (7g) over 127 years.
Responding to a need for a system that would provide rapid cooling capabilities, Ansul developed the LVS liquid agent system. LVS wet chemical agent is stored in 30-gallon (114 L) tanks connected to expellant nitrogen cartridges. As a liquid, the LVS agent tends to flow along the same path as the burning fuel to areas otherwise not accessible to firefighters. LVS system components are corrosion resistant, built for rugged environments, and designed to operate within a temperature range of 40° to 120° F (40° to 49° C).
More about LVS Liquid Agent
For 24-hour protection, the CHECKFIRE system provides automatic detection, alarm, equipment shutdown, and fire suppression system(s) operation. Its environmentally-sealed control module is shock and vibration resistant; and features a self-contained internal power source (and/or external power connection), self-checking diagnostics, and supervised circuitry. Thermal detection options include linear detection wire or spot detectors.
As fires on large mobile equipment can sometimes be unpredictable, Ansul recommends the installation of RED LINE dry chemical extinguishers as back-up to the fire suppression system. These rugged cartridge-operated extinguishers have been protecting high-risk industries since 1939.
1. Fire breaks out on a large excavator. Heat from the fire activates a linear or spot detection device that alerts the CHECKFIRE control module.
2. The control module immediately sounds its integral alarm alerting the operator that a fire has been detected.
3. After a specified time delay period, the control module actuates the LT- A- 101 dry chemical system. The system can also be operated manually. (High level alarms and automatic equipment shutdown options are also available.)
4. At the same time, the pneumatic time delay begins its count prior to actuating the LVS system.
5. Nitrogen from the expellant gas cartridge pressurizes the dry chemical storage tanks.
6. The dry chemical extinguishing agent is expelled from the tanks through a network of distribution hoses and discharge nozzles to the protected areas.
7. Immediately following the dry chemical discharge, nitrogen cartridges are actuated and pressurize the LVS tanks.
8. LVS wet chemical agent is expelled from the tanks through a network of distribution hoses and discharge nozzles to the protected areas.

Project 365: Day 64
I had to work in Oakland in the morning today so I stopped by one of the Mexican food trucks in West Oakland for lunch. One of my co-workers suggested El Patron Lonchera because they have tasty tacos and the food hasn't made him sick yet, lol!
Two carnitas (pork) and two lengua (beef tongue) tacos on corn tortillas topped with red onions and cilantro. Served with pickled carrots, radishes, and jalapenos. Tacos $1.25 each. Diet Coke $1
El Patron Lonchera, Oakland CA
These were pretty good! Both tacos had great flavor and they didn't get me sick, hehe. The beef tongue was in large chunks (yum) and the carnitas were nicely shredded with a few crispy pieces (double yum). The guy running the food truck doesn't speak English so you either have to gesture or try and remember your pathetic highschool Spanish grammar! 🙂

Arms from China cannot find a route to Zimbabwe
The ship carrying arms from China and intended for Zimbabwe may not be able to unload its cargo in Africa. Dockers in South Africa refused to unload the ship and it then sailed north to try to find a port in Mozambique or Angola.
There are diplomatic discussions about a ban on all shipments of arms to Zimbabwe while there is no legitimate government there.
More weapons and ammunition in the hands of Mugabe and his party – the last thing that the people of Zimbabwe need at the moment.
See the Knowlege is Power blog on this website for more about the struggle against the arming of Mugabe's regime. "Zim needs peace, not China guns" reads the slogan on the banner. There is a link to an online petition on the Avaaz website. It is up to almost 100 000 signatures at the end of April 2008 . (Avaaz means "voice" in many languages but I couldn't tell you which ones.) Part of the petition reads, "This shipment highlights the urgent need for a strong international arms trade treaty."
You can currently reach the Avaaz petition from Amnesty UK's home page. See the heading, "Stop guns fuelling Zimbabwe crisis".

When you have just lost your spouse, the last thing you want to think about is the bills mounting up with his name on them. However, you must handle those bills for which you are responsible and give the rest to your late spouse's executor to handle to avoid damage to your credit and lawsuits against the estate. Vehicle loans are especially important, because if you or your executor do not pay them, the creditor can repossess the vehicle from the estate.
Joint Ownership
If the deceased person jointly owned the car along with a spouse, child or friend, then that person is solely responsible for continuing to make payments on the car. The surviving owner should contact the lender and inform it of the death as well as make new payment arrangements. If the surviving owner fails to make payments as agreed upon, the lender can repossess her vehicle.
Community Property States
If you live in a community property state, you are liable for all debts incurred during the course of the marriage regardless of whether your name is on the account. Thus, if your spouse bought the car after you were married, you must treat your late spouse's vehicle as if it were a jointly owned vehicle: contact the creditor, make payment arrangements and pay the loan each month. As of 2011, Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin are community property states.
The executor of the estate is responsible for paying most of the deceased person's debts, including secured debts such as automobile loans, if they belong solely to the decedent. The executor should send the lender a notice of estate administration through registered or certified mail. National Paralegal College reports that the creditor may demand full payment immediately. The executor can then pay the debt out of the estate's assets or sell the deceased person's home and use the proceeds to cover the debt.
In most states, if a debtor defaults on a car loan, the creditor can repossess the vehicle. This applies equally to the deceased's vehicle if proper arrangements are not made or honored. For example, if a spouse is liable for the payments and does not make them, the vehicle can be repossessed. Thus, it is important to contact the loan holder as soon as possible following the death of a vehicle owner.

Well, the feet are starting to burn. I've tried all the over-the-counter suggestions and everything else I can think of to help with this, so I'm going to try the Henna Treatment.
I made the Henna Treatment for Hand-Foot Syndrome today using the following formula from a blog ( http://xelodasideeffects.blogspot.com/ ) many people have pointed to:
1/2 Cup Boiling Water
1 teaspoon lemon juice
approximately 1/4 Cup Indian Henna powder
I mixed the above ingredients in a small glass bowl with a plastic spool. The glop is made is an unpleasant greenish-brown goo. It reminds me most of what you get from the back end of a cow who's been turned out to pasture after wintering in a feed lot. (I'm betraying my rural roots here.) The scent is not unpleasant - kind of an herbal aroma that isn't too bad.
I allowed it to cool to room temperature then applied a light coat to the areas of my feet that were beginning to burn. It's soothing as it goes on. It dries in about 15 minutes. I put on a pair of old socks and will now go about my business. I put a plastic lid on the bowl and have stored it in the ice box.
11:30 PM - Feet are holding up pretty well. A little discomfort, but no burning. I've applied Bag Balm to my feet and hands where I usually have the H-F Syndrome patches. (Putting Bag Balm on the usual patches before they burn and peel seems to help prevent it for a bit. It helps prevent peeling even after the burning starts.) Put on some fresh old socks and am going to bed.
I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in Nov., 1999. Surgery and radioactive iodine followed. In Dec., 2006, I found a lump in my neck that turned cancerous. Shortly thereafter, it was found to have metastasized throughout my body and to be untreatable and inoperable. I started a clinical trial with Sutent (sunitinib) since Apr., 2007. In Nov., 2013, the tumors began growing again and I was removed from the Sutent Clinical Trial. I started a clinical trial taking of CEDIRANIB on 04/09/14.

The Skoda Fabia TDI for 2014
It was fifteen years ago now that we first seen the world famous Supermini the Skoda Fabia arrive on our roads. We are now just going into the third generation of the model and it could very well be set to be one of the finest additions from the firm to go on sale. The Supermini/city car sector of the car industry is rapidly expanding and the competition amongst competitors is certainly continuing to grow as the years go by.
Does the brand new Fabia model have the potential to take on some top flight contenders such as the Fiesta from Ford and the new Corsa from Vauxhall though? What changes and alterations have been introduced with this brand new addition that could potentially make you a proud owner of a new Fabia?
The new changes to expect from the Skoda Fabia TDI
So regarding what work has been done to the new Fabia model during production time, we see that the firm have included a total of four engine units up for grabs which include both petrol and diesel variants. There is both a 1.0 and a 1.2 TSI petrol selection up for grabs which sees power development from either 59 brake horse power or 108bhp. If the diesel variety is more you're kind of thing though,a 1.4 diesel engine is on sale which comes in two power forms one packing 89 and the other 108bhp. A seven speed automatic DSG transmission system is also included with the 89bnhp diesel model.
Its the good range of kit to come along with the car that also impressed us. We see that as standard throughout the whole range, some pieces of equipment such as Bluetooth connectivity,heated wing mirrors,front electric windows,remote locking and stop start technology. There is however the SE trim level on offer from Skoda which welcomes in more equipment for an added £1,000 on top of the standard purchase price. Features such as 15 inch alloy wheels,a leather steering wheel,automatic braking, a trip computer and a new surround sound system.
What price have Skoda put on the new Fabia?
The best value for money version of the Fabia in our opinion would be the added equipment trim level which is the SE. Prices for the SE Fabia come in at £15,390. With the competition on the city car market becoming intense though, does the new Fabia have the standards to compete with its rival the Volkswagen Polo in which it shares the same platform.

The Louisville football program generated some buzz among Cardinal fans and uniform junkies late Tuesday night, when the team's official equipment Twitter account shared an interesting tweet.
Louisville sent out a tweet that contained nothing more than the eyes emoji.
— Louisville Equipment (@UofLEquipment) September 14, 2016
Of course, that led to plenty of speculation about what the message could mean.
It didn't take long for Louisville fans to decode the message, though, as the real meaning of the tweet was to draw attention to the account's new avatar which was a brand spanking new red chrome helmet.
Louisville has quietly been upping their uniform game in recent seasons and this is just the latest great touch.
The question everyone has, however, is: Will these be worn for this weekend's game against the No. 2 Florida State Seminoles with ESPN's College GameDay in town?
I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Kickoff between Louisville and Florida State — which is the first top ten match up of the 2016 college football season — is set for noon ET on ABC.

9 Reasons Our "Too Sensitive" Kids Are Going To Save Us All
My husband and I are definitely not extroverts. We can hold our own in group settings or at off-site work meetings, but our preference is to not be around people. So we were surprised to find that both our kids were rather gregarious when they were very little. Our son remains a "people" person, but our daughter is more introverted now. There is one thing, however, that proves they definitely belong to us: they are sensitive kids, and I'm convinced sensitive kids are going to save us all. Yes, things bother them… like, really bother them. My son is constantly asking what is the worst thing I've ever seen or done or heard about. And lately, my 10-year-old daughter has been asking me if I've ever been really excited about something that eventually disappeared. These kids are feeling their feelings acutely, and I feel them in turn, but I don't think any of the aforementioned is at all a bad thing.
So I'm not worried about them being sensitive. In fact, I'm relieved. It means they can relate to others because they understand how others can feel. It means the golden rule is something I can teach them to live by. It means that because my kids want to be treated well, they treat others as such. It means they will appreciate the good times, but the bad times will feel terrible.
But sensitive kids like mine cry. They blow up quickly at things. They react with their gut and their hearts before they engage their minds. They are still navigating through the world primarily by their feelings, and not their logic, and that often means they are scared and confused and having a fit is how they cope. All that really sucks, and I know it does because I'm sensitive, too. I totally get what they are feeling. So I don't tell them to stop crying. I tell them to feel their feelings. Sadness and anger are not bad… but they can't knock over things or take a swing at me because of them.
Sensitive kids like mine tend to get their feelings hurt, but they also tend to reach out a lot to others in attempts to cheer them up. I love this about my children. It's one of the many reasons why our sensitive kids will save us all, including the following:
Because They Care About Others
More than anything, my daughter wants a cat. Or a dog. Or a baby sibling. She just seems to want to care for another being, and that just melts my heart.
But it also breaks hers, because we are not getting any pets and I am not having any more kids. Luckily, she is satisfying the caregiving itch with a new doll her grandparents gifted her for a recent birthday.
Because They Value Their Relationships
Despite what Facebook tells me, I don't think I have a deep bench of close friends. I have a few, sure, and they are crucial to my existence, but I don't have a big group of friends and confidants I can turn to. That's how I like it, though. I preach to my kids often about "quality over quantity." It's great that they have a lot of friends, but how many friends can you have before you stop being a true friend to yourself? At ages 10 and 7, I feel my kids are finally starting to understand that it's OK to choose your friends wisely. When my daughter had her first "mean girls" experience in third grade, where those whom she thought were close to her suddenly flipped allegiances and no longer wanted to be her friend, I explained that this is the moment when it becomes clear who she is meant to hang out with. And sure enough, the one or two girls who seemed to have great chemistry with my daughter, from the very beginning of their friendship in kindergarten, remained.
Recognizing the meaning of true friendship at a young age, I think, will serve my kids well. They'll be able to navigate high school or an office environment, or even their future co-op board, with a keener instinct about who their allies really are.
Because They Don't Make Us Guess How They're Feeling
My kids wear their emotions on their sleeve. It has never been difficult for me to figure out what they're feeling, so I'm able to tune in quickly if something is bothering them. This is a good thing, because it often allows me to address their bad feelings before they become overwhelming. If the kids were letting their emotions fester — instead of being very vocal about them — they could start acting out in ways I wouldn't understand. While I don't love the fact that both of our kids can get to 11 pretty quickly on the tantrum scale, at least we can deal with it immediately, and help them manage their big feelings before it's too late to recover from them.
Because They Use Their Manners
Though my children can be beasts at home, their manners are pretty good outside of our house. I am pretty proud when I hear another parent gush about my daughter saying "please" and "thank you" on a play date, even though that same kid will roll her eyes at me when I remind her to clear her place after dinner.
The best any mom can hope for is that kids who are sensitive to how others perceive them will put effort into making good impressions… on everyone except their own parents, apparently.
Because They Want Us To Be Happy…
I have had some dark moments when I've let my kids see me upset about something they've done. I can get angry when my kids use the word "stupid," but I'm sensitive too, and those words can really sting. I know it's not cool that a 7-year-old made me cry, but it has happened.
When it did, my son rushed up to me and wordlessly planted a million kisses on my cheek. It scared and confused him to see me upset, and I'm not proud that I wasn't acting like an adult in that moment. But it did give me hope that he reacted with such empathy. It showed me that he understands that our default setting as humans should be "happy," and he wanted to help me arrive there.
Because They Feel Their Own Unhappiness So Profoundly
I thought parenting school-age kids would be easier than parenting toddlers. It is definitely not. Though they are much better at expressing themselves, and I'm usually excused from helping them go to the bathroom, they are still kids who are developing into fully formed humans. So sometimes their emotions seem bigger than they are. They have not yet cultivated the skills to deal with the disappointments that life regularly hands out, even if it is the same flavor disappointment, night after night. ("Yes, you have to brush your teeth, again. You know you have to do this before bed.")
My kids get so angry, and they get so frustrated, and they get so sad. But they also laugh a lot. The upside to having a sensitive child is that for as searing as their negative emotions are, it's equally as heartwarming to hear their unabashed laughter erupt and spread through the house.
Because They Love Stories
My children have always loved reading, whether they were the ones holding a book or a story was being told to them. They seem to be able to sit forever when I'm reading them a bedtime story (although I do have to wonder if that's just a stalling technique). They really seem to lose themselves in the narratives, especially if there is a young protagonist. They connect to the feelings of the characters in these stories, almost as if they are experiencing the emotions themselves.
This gives me hope because I can envision a time, when they're older, and a friend is confiding in them about something difficult. I am optimistic that my kids will take the storyteller's words to heart, really hearing them and believing them. There is nothing more than I would want, in my time of need, than to feel truly heard and believed by someone and I think my kids to be that person one day. The world could use more compassion, and as parents, it's our job to cultivate it in our children.
Because They Act Cautiously
Protective of her own heart, my daughter approaches all new social settings with caution. I know a lot of parents like to see their children diving in to the new daycare, or gleefully skipping off to tumbling class without looking back. But I'm not mad that my older kid exercises caution when trying something new. It signals to me that she is not a huge risk-taker, and that makes me as a mom very relieved.
Of course, I would be worried if her shyness prevented her from making any friends and she chose isolation over companionship consistently. But she just takes things slow, like her introverted mom.
Because They Are The Barometer Of Humanity
I can't watch the news. I need regular breaks from social media. Our country is ravaged by hate and it's so easy to slip into despair, fearing the world into which we brought our children.
But Whitney Houston was right… I do believe the children are our future. When they seek out ways to feel loved, and to love others, instinctively wanting to comfort their friends, animals, or strangers because it's what they feel compelled to do as human beings, I know we're leaving the world in good hands. As long as we keep cultivating humanity, we can conquer hate. As long as we celebrate sensitivity, the trait in us that allows for compassion, we can raise our kids to love one another. I look at my sensitive kids as a gift. I know they care. That gives me hope for the future.

Ripple has agreed to enter into a strategic partnership with MoneyGram. Through this partnership, which will have an initial term of two years, Ripple would become MoneyGram's key partner for cross-border payment and foreign exchange settlement using digital assets. In conjunction with the partnership, Ripple has agreed to provide a capital commitment to MoneyGram, which enables the company to draw up to US$50m in exchange for equity over a two-year period.
The partnership with Ripple will focus on the xRapid product, a solution for on-demand liquidity, which reduces reliance on pre-funding by enabling money to be sent from one currency and instantly settled in the destination currency. It leverages XRP, the native digital asset of the XRP Ledger, as a real-time bridge between the sending and receiving currencies. XRP remains the most efficient digital asset for settlement with transaction fees at just fractions of a penny, compared to other digital asset fees of about US$30 per transaction. Similarly, the average transaction time for XRP is two to three seconds with other top digital assets ranging from 15 minutes to an hour.
MoneyGram operates globally in the US$600bn global remittance market, serving millions of customers in more than 200 countries and territories, supporting multiple currencies. Currently MoneyGram relies on traditional foreign exchange markets to meet its settlement obligations, which require advance purchases of most currencies. Through this strategic partnership MoneyGram will be able to settle key currencies and match the timing of funding with its settlement requirements.

This is the 6th installment of my Mis-Matched to Miss Matched series, and it's dedicated to just one bachelor.
Bachelor #27 and I shared so many interests, it was unbelievable. Every line I read, I smiled and nodded my head. And no pets! Thank goodness. The computer screen told me that we were a 100% match! Could this be possible? After all I've been through already, I hoped, and I prayed.
I'm not revealing his age or profession for reasons that will become clear as you read on.
After a few email exchanges, we spoke on the phone. His voice was velvety smooth, an easy listening radio voice for sure. That first phone conversation lasted two hours. It felt like mere minutes. We chatted like old friends who were catching up after not speaking for a few months.
We met for dinner shortly thereafter. Mr. Tall, Dark and Handsome displayed impeccable manners and was very complimentary to me.
We had similar hobbies and the exact same taste in music. He was also a muscle car guy. A GM muscle car guy. Thank God he wasn't a Ford or Chrysler guy. (No offense to Ford or Chrysler guys, but I know GM cars. I don't know squat about the others.)
Several dinners followed. We enjoyed each other's company tremendously.
Then one evening, he said, "We need to talk."
Oh crap. Nothing good ever follows those words. I braced myself.
"There's something I need to tell you."
Maybe his ex's name is tattooed on him somewhere. Or he's a convicted felon. A serial killer. Bodies buried in the backyard. I could be next. Mom was right! Or he's married. Or an illegal alien. Or he works for the Mob. Or worse, he liked "50 Shades of Grey."
"I've wanted to tell you for some time now."
"Okay. I'm listening."
"I'm not like other guys."
At that moment, I flashed back to the beginning of Michael Jackson's Thriller video. Those were the words Michael said to his date before he turned into the werewolf. Oh crap.
"I like ************censored*************."
Huh? I was speechless. Utterly. Totally. Speechless. For the first time in my life, I had no words. None.
This man who I thought could be, "The One," just confessed his fetish to me. Picture me sitting there stunned. Really stunned. Deer in the headlights stunned.
Hopefully my mouth wasn't hanging open. I don't remember. But it's fully in the realm of possibility.
My mind tried to process the words he had spoken. So many questions raced through my mind.
"Say something."
Here is the unfortunate question that popped out: "Does this mean you play for both teams?"
Disappointed, he answered, "No. I'm straight."
"Okay." Meaning, okay, I heard you. But I still didn't know what to think.
I don't have a problem with this fetish, in general. It's not illegal or immoral. And I consider myself an open and accepting person. I don't judge people's actions when consenting adults are involved.
"Think about it."
There was no doubt in my mind that's all I would be thinking about in the near future. The question remained, "Could I live with it?"
I thought long and hard about it for a couple of days. I researched it on the internet. There were psychological explanations and justifications. All agreed it was a harmless practice. Apparently, it is more common than any of us would ever have imagined.
I finally made my decision. I couldn't live with it.
I wanted to, because he seemed like a great guy, otherwise. We had so much in common. He treated me beautifully. Everything had been falling into place.
But I couldn't live with this one thing. It was too big. And he wasn't willing to give it up.
So, that was the end of that.
When I told my mother I broke up with him, she couldn't believe it. "What was wrong with this one? You said he was perfect."
"He had a fetish."
"Oh my God! Oh my God! Don't tell me!"
"No, don't tell me! I don't want to know what it is."
"It's not horrible. I just couldn't live with it. It's not like he murders people or anything."
"No! Don't say it! I don't want to have nightmares!"
"No! Don't tell me!"
So that, my friends, is why the fetish is censored. I do not want to be responsible for giving my mother nightmares. Since she loses so much sleep worrying about me to begin with, when she does fall asleep, I don't want it to be nightmares about this particular fetish.
I don't want anyone he knows to find out either. It's not like he broadcasts this to his family, friends and co-workers. He was a nice guy. It just didn't work out.
I think I'm going to watch the Thriller video now. Michael Jackson and Vincent Price—now there's a perfect combination! Here's a link to it, just in case you want to see it too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOnqjkJTMaA
Stay tuned for the next chapter, "The Foreign Contingent."

"Jean-Luc, we're only moving 600 people," says Admiral Matthew Dougherty to Captain Jean-Luc Picard. Picard asks, "How many people does it take, Admiral, before it becomes wrong? Hmm? A thousand, fifty thousand, a million? How many people does it take, Admiral?"
The critical and financial success of 1996's Star Trek: First Contact led to Paramount giving the green light for another sequel. After the dark storyline of First Contact, it was decided for the new Star Trek film to go in a much lighter direction (even though the original draft of the script would wind up being Apocalypse Now meets The Magnificent Seven). The Apocalypse Now section was significantly reduced to accommodate the Magnificent Seven portion. Jonathan Frakes, who had done a terrific job with First Contact, was invited back to the director's chair for the sequel. This film marked the first time that I finally got to see a Star Trek film during its original theatrical run (although I was forced to wait a month before I got to see it in January 1999). I would get to see it on the big screen again more than four years later at the Two Boots Pioneer Theater in Lower Manhattan as part of "Star Trek Saturdays" (this was the final film of the retrospective).
1998's Star Trek: Insurrection picks up two years after the events of the previous film. On a planet populated by a people called Ba'ku, a joint Federation/Son'a survey mission goes wrong when Lieutenant Commander Data is shot and goes berserk. He removes his isolation suit, revealing himself to the natives, and he shoots at the cloaked Federation outpost that had been conducting the survey mission. Captain Jean-Luc Picard is informed of the situation, and has the Enterprise divert its course into the Briar Patch. Picard and Worf go down to the planet and successfully de-activate Data, and later an investigation is launched into what went wrong. Things get complicated as Picard and his crew learn more about the Son'a as well as discover that the Ba'ku have advanced technology but have chosen not to use it in their everyday lives. The metaphasic radiation emanating from the planet's rings also start to affect Picard and his crew in an unusual way, and when it's discovered what the Federation and the Son'a are really there to do, Picard and his crew take a stand against them to protect the Ba'ku.
The returning cast (Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, Brent Spiner, LeVar Burton, Marina Sirtis, Michael Dorn, and Gates McFadden) was terrific once again. Stewart had a lot of fun as a more rebellious Picard and Spiner got to continue Data's journey of exploring what it means to be a living being. The "guest stars" shine as well: F. Murray Abraham (as Ru'afo), Donna Murphy (as Anij), Gregg Henry (as Gallatin), Daniel Hugh Kelly (as Sojef), Michael Welch (as Artim), and Anthony Zerbe (as Admiral Dougherty). Abraham is just wonderfully villainous, and Murphy is terrific as Picard's wise love interest. Zerbe was also effective as a somewhat conflicted Starfleet admiral.
Frakes did a terrific job in the director's chair once again. Michael Piller's screenplay balanced the lighter tone with the heavy drama while harkening back to the original Star Trek series (Piller had dedicated his screenplay to Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry). Matthew Leonetti's cinematography was terrific once again, this time using natural sunlight to great effect (I especially like the sequence where Geordi sees a sunrise with his own actual eyes for the first time ever). Peter E. Berger's editing gives the film a good pace, and Herman Zimmerman's production design is first rate once again. He created the Ba'ku village and redressed previously built sets to create the various Son'a sets as well as the cave interiors. Sanja Milkovic Hayes' costume designs were excellent; she created new costumes for the Ba'ku, the Son'a, as well as civilian clothes for some of the Enterprise crew members and other alien costumes.
The special effects were first rate (the Enterprise-E was done entirely in CG for the first time). I especially liked the sequences that showed all the gaseous areas of the Briar Patch, and the Metaphasic Radiation Collector was well done. The sound design was excellent, as was Michael Westmore's makeup design. His alien designs were top notch, particularly for the flesh-stretched Son'a. Finally, there's Jerry Goldsmith's wonderful score. In addition to bringing back his Enterprise, Klingon, and family motifs, he introduces a villainous motif for the Son'a that's reliant heavily on synthesizers and a romantic motif for the Ba'ku that's so much more orchestral (particularly in the strings section). Star Trek: Insurrection represents what Star Trek is all about while dealing with themes of immortality and the forced relocation of a small group of people to satisfy the demands of a larger group. It is a wonderful addition to the Star Trek canon.

If you've ever shuffled sideways through a tiny bathroom to get from the toilet to the sink, you understand the importance of having space–and a good bathroom layout. When planning your bathroom remodeling, make sure you focus on size and layout–and get the job done right.
Gaining bathroom remodeling space
To enlarge your bathroom, look for an adjacent room or closet where you can steal 10 to 40 square feet. You can switch a hall closet so it opens into the bathroom. You want a bathroom that is at least 4-feet by 6-feet or 5-feet by 7-feet.
Added space can give you just enough clearance around all the bathroom fixtures to make movement more enjoyable. HGTV recommends focusing on these three common building code requirements for a bathroom:
- 21 inches in front of a lavatory, toilet and tub
- 24 inches in front of a shower
- 30 inches of floor space in front of all fixtures to opposite fixtures or wall
For floor plan examples and room dimensions, try these options from Kohler.
Bathroom layout: Efficiency is key
Next comes the layout. Consider:
- Bath tub or shower. Showers take less space and help you reduce water usage. If you prefer a tub, look for a corner model. Here's how Finehomebuilding.com added a corner tub and freed up space for a larger vanity.
- Vanity. Is the sink too crowded with more than one person around? Consider upgrading the width to 36 or 42-inches.
- Toilet. If the toilet is preventing you from expanding your vanity, look for a better location. You pay a little to move it, but you gain in efficiency.
- Storage. Can you build in recessed storage in the walls or add a deeper vanity? Every inch counts. Here are good organizational ideas from Goodhousekeeping.com.
Now…no more shuffling. You'll have a fancy new bathroom you can turn around in.

US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR) Executive Director Yousef Munayyer speaks to The Nation about efforts to move the US to hold Israel accountable for its excessive use of force and targeting of Palestinian demonstrators participating in the Great Return March.
'ÄúThe United States could send a very strong message to the Israelis about the unacceptability of these human-rights abuses by simply making it clear that there'Äôs no blank check when it comes to military support if they engage in behavior like this,'ÄĚ said Yousef Munayyer, executive director of the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights.
The US Campaign is among the chief groups calling for accountability and has been encouraging activists to contact members of Congress and¬†call¬†for 'Äúan investigation to hold Israel accountable for violating'ÄĚ laws that prohibit US-manufactured arms from being used to violate human rights.
Amnesty and the US Campaign have focused their calls around two laws in particular: the Foreign Assistance Act, which prohibits US assistance to countries that consistently violate human rights, and the Leahy Law, a provision of the Foreign Assistance Act that prohibits the United States from sending arms to individual units of foreign security forces that commit gross human-rights violations.
As for Congress, only a handful of members have criticized Israel's actions. The State Department did not respond to requests for comment from The Nation on whether it was concerned about Israel firing on unarmed civilians in Gaza, in possible violation of US law.
'ÄúThat sends a message to the Israelis that the United States is fully behind the use of lethal force on protesters. That is dangerous,'ÄĚ said Munayyer, the head of the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights. 'ÄúThat the American administration is shielding an Israeli military engaged in those kinds of brutally repressive acts is a new low.'ÄĚ
Still, Munayyer told The Nation it remained important to press the United States to enforce its arms-export laws as they apply to Israel.
'ÄúThis is an opportunity for people to communicate with their representatives and demand action on this front, because it is a question of whether or not US law has been violated,'ÄĚ he said. 'ÄúIt'Äôs an opportunity for accountability.'ÄĚ

Several years ago, I attended a birthday dinner for a close friend at a high-end restaurant of her choice. There were about 20 people at the table, half of whom I didn't know. At the time, I was trying to dig myself out of debt and had a very limited entertainment budget. Accordingly, I ordered one glass of wine and a small salad. Other guests ordered expensive entrees and, while some asked for appetizers "for the table", I made sure I didn't touch them as I was short on cash. When the waiter brought our group cheque, the person on my right (a stranger to me) grabbed it first and it gradually made its way around the table with each person putting in what they felt they owed.
When it finally came back to me, I put in my fair share and counted the large wad of cash in the billfold. To my horror, I realized that it was $30 short of the total, even before the tip was factored in. I got the group's attention and suggested that perhaps some people had forgotten to put in their share of the tax, tip and contribution to the birthday girl's meal. I was met with blank stares, awkward glances and a few murmurs that a couple of people had left early. After an interminable silence, a precious few of us cobbled together enough money to make up the difference and leave a decent, although not generous tip. While I was never able to prove it, I'm convinced that one or two of the guests contributed nothing at all and the whole experience left a very bad taste in my mouth.
I'm sure this scenario, or elements of it, are familiar to anyone who has ever dined in a group and it provides an opportunity to explore several dining etiquette questions: If someone organizes and hosts a dinner, who pays? Is it okay to establish how the bill will be handled at the beginning and ask for separate cheques? Should the bill be split evenly or according to what people owe? What is the appropriate protocol when everyone has contributed and there's still not enough?
Unfortunately, this is one of those murky etiquette areas where there is no correct answer, no Emily Post dictate from on high to reassure us that we're right and everyone else is wrong. It's really a question of the occasion, the group, precedent, and how well everyone knows each other. Sadly, group dining also involves facing up to some unpleasant human truths like the fact that, when we find ourselves confronting the honour system, not all of us will rise to the occasion and behave honourably.
Everyone has different beliefs about money and everyone feels strongly about it. My mother's theory was "it's made round to go round" but you might feel that "a penny saved is a penny earned". After more than 20 years on the group dining circuit, my personal theory is that every circle of friends includes a cheapskate. He's the one who whips out his calculator when the bill comes, doesn't have any cash on him when you're filling the car for a weekend trip, or always offers to bring the soft drinks to a pot luck dinner. Fiscal beliefs run deep and chances are remote that this person will change his ways and start throwing money around. But, he may have many other wonderful qualities. You need to decide if your friendship is more important than the fact that he has trouble parting with funds, and if it is, accept it and move on.
Does the host pay for everyone? There is an etiquette guideline about restaurant meals and that is, the person who does the inviting is the one who pays. While this might be clear in a business setting between two people, it's a bit murky in a social setting where someone might take responsibility for organizing a dinner get-together but has no intention of covering the cost. In this case, if you're concerned about how the bill will be divided, bring it up with the organizer before hand.
Do honourees pay for themselves? Although there's no firm rule, it's generally accepted that, when the occasion is a celebration of a birthday or other anniversary, the person being feted will be treated by the others. If this is the case, it's essential to ensure before the meal start,s that the other guests know they need to factor a percentage of her meal, tax and tip into their contribution. The easiest way to handle it is for the other guests to split the bill evenly, in which case the guest of honour can offer to perhaps provide the tip...or not.
When should you split the bill evenly? My belief is if this is a group of friends or family that you dine with often, or even a group that includes some strangers, every bill should just be split evenly to avoid awkwardness. Life is too short and the hope is that it will all even out over time. As they say, sometimes you're the windshield and sometimes you're the bug. When the cheque is placed on the table someone needs to take charge, calculate the total including tax and tip and let everyone know how much they owe. Clean, simple and hassle-free!
But what if I only had a salad? This is where it gets tough. Some people routinely eat more than others. Some drink alcohol with every meal. Some never order dessert...and so on. There's no question that splitting a bill evenly favours the big eaters and drinkers and punishes those who didn't consume much. I have a friend who always orders less than everyone else and, when the bill comes, she takes it and announces what she owes and plunks down exactly that much in cash. The rest of us, who are not so concerned, usually split the remainder between us and we get back to the socializing part of the evening, which, after all, is why we're there. You could try this approach, or, you could follow the advice of another friend of mine who, after being repeatedly 'burned' by splitting the bill evenly, came up with her own system. When she arrives at a group dinner, she always asks the waiter for a separate bill on the pretense that she might have to leave early. Sometimes she does leave early and sometimes she stays till the end but she never pays more than her share.
If you're only paying your share, only eat your share - Some people want to have their cake and eat it too - literally. They order very little and only pay for what they actually ordered when the bill comes, but during the meal, they have no problems taking that last piece of bruschetta from the platter or dipping their fork into someone else's dessert. If you insist on just paying for what you ordered, you can't partake of the communal plates, lest you want to become the subject of negative post-dinner gossip.
Choose with care - If you are organizing a group dinner, you need to take into account the economic situations and desires of your guests. Chances are you guests are experiencing a wide range of fiscal realities. Some may be flush with cash and others could be unemployed or have fiscal obligations that you don't have. If you choose a high-end restaurant, be prepared for the fact that it might be difficult for some guests to attend. If you are a guest in this situation, it's okay to call up the organizer and let her know that you would love to go but you can't afford it. Maybe she'll offer to treat you, or maybe not.
Honesty is the best policy - If you're the big eater/drinker in the group and find yourself in a situation where the bill is not being split evenly, PAY YOUR SHARE. It's very poor etiquette to expect others to fund your hunger (or gluttony). Ante up and put in an extra share of the tip since the wait staff probably had to do more work for you. Believe me, nobody likes a mooch!

Meet Upothecary, the new line of body and face care products that are inspired by cannabis. They are vegan, cruelty-free, SLES-free, and paraben free, making them gentle on your skin and a delight in the shower.
Guess what? You're not going to be intoxicated by using these, and actually they're well-formulated, gentle products that would work for the whole family. Instead of being intoxicating, these products are modeled after the Indica or Sativa properties of cannabis. One is meant to calm and the other meant to energize, and each has its own scent properties that are incorporated into Upothecary products.
For example, the Sativa shampoo ($15) has a lemony scent that mirrors the limonene oils in Sativa cannabis. It's a refreshing shampoo to use, especially first thing in the morning. What's more is that it's a gentle formulation – aloe water, and a coconut oil based cleanser mean that you're cleaning your hair gently.
The Indica conditioner ($15) is also super gentle – it's formulated with shea butter and argan oil so that it moisturizes the skin, while being scented with the calming aromas of lavender and chamomile.
The body bars are similarly formulated – either in the Sativa or Indica scent to provide aromatherapy relief as you use them.
You can find Upothecary online at Upothecary.com.
