School board signs land sale contract
The Moose Lake School Board passed a motion to authorize board Chair Kris Lyons to sign the land sale contract, at a special meeting of the board on Thursday, February 7.
The contract will be reviewed and possibly signed at the Moose Lake City Council meeting on Wednesday, February 13, before the sale is completed.
Twenty-four acres of school district land along Highway 73 on the south end of town is being sold to a developer. The school board is selling the land to the city, and the city will, in turn, sell the land to the developer after placing covenants and conditions on it, along with zoning.
"Things are moving and improving," said Lyons. "The town will see growth. This is a win-win situation for everybody."
The board took another major step when it agreed, in a motion, to replace the school with a new PreK-12 school on the school district property along County Road 10. The motion also included that the project would not exceed $33 million.
Two of the school board members, Julie Peterson and Lisa Anderson-Reed, were not in attendance. The motions passed unanimously.
The board set the date for the referendum election for Tuesday, May 21.
The plans for the new school have been sent to the Minnesota Department of Education for a Review and Comment, a process that will take 60 days, said Gary Benson of ICS Consulting.
It is anticipated that the Review and Comment will be returned before April 13. A letter accompanying the Review and Comment must be published in the school district's legal newspaper no less than 20 days before the election.
The school district is joining with the Rushford-Peterson School District with a request to the legislature to fund each of the school districts with $20 million in bonding due to both schools having to be replaced because of flooding.
It was noted that the legislative session ends May 10.
"The word will spread fast if the school districts get the bonding," said Superintendent Robert Indihar.
Benson discussed with the board the process of hiring an architect.
Requests for Proposals will be sent to architectural firms. Once the proposals are received, ICS staff will review the proposals and choose the top three or four to interview.
The interview date was set for Thursday, February 28, starting at 6 p.m.
Benson discussed the informational campaign that the school board will conduct. A separate "Vote Yes" campaign will be conducted by community members.
A steering committee is needed. It was suggested that the steering committee consist of the superintendent, the principals, two board members, key teaching staff and a representative of the student council. The informational campaign is expected to take 10 to 12 weeks. Community informational meetings will be scattered throughout the school district.
The "Vote Yes" campaign will start later, and run for eight to 10 weeks.
Benson explained that the building will be designed only if the referendum is passed. The staff members will be contacted to provide input about the needs of each one's department.
The $33 million will include a bus garage, refurbishing the baseball/softball fields and decommissioning and removal of the oldest parts of the current building.
The regularly scheduled meeting of the board was set for Monday, February 25, at 6 p.m.

Batavia, NY---It was bombs-away at Batavia Downs Sunday (Aug. 31) when the heavily favored Major Dancer came up just short at the wire as 40-1 Ken Doll J pulled the surprise in a $39,900 division of the New York Sire Stakes for 3-year-old pacing fillies.
Off the gate Sweetnsinful (Jimmy Whittemore) took an uncontested lead around the turn and up the backside before the 1-2 Major Dancer (Jonathan Drury) rushed and took over the top as they hit the quarter in :27.1. After a pedestrian second split of :30.1, Table Talk (Jim Morrill Jr.) started the outer flow and Ken Doll J (Aaron Byron) followed in swift fashion.
Feeling the heat, Drury stepped on the gas and tried to pull away to the three-quarters with a :28 flat third panel. But the strategy was ineffective as the chasing pair continued to make up ground through the turn and into the stretch. From that point on it was a real horse race with a tiring Major Dancer coming back to Table Talk, who was outside of her and Ken Doll J, who was three-wide. When they hit the wire, Ken Doll J just got up in the final stride to win in 1:54 and light up the board. The winner paid $83.00.
Table Talk was second and Major Dancer hung on to be third.
This was the second win of the year for Ken Doll J (Bettor's Delight-Normajeankillean) and also a seasonal mark. The victory brought her earnings up to $74,882 for owner Ken Jacobs. Ken Doll J is trained by Linda Toscano.
After the race, Byron said "Everything just worked out. I got a great trip and I didn't really have to do much to half. The filly was real good down the lane."
In the first $39,900 division, Just Add Vodka (Jim Morrill Jr.) was the beneficiary of a patient steer and came away with a three-quarter length victory as a result.
Up Front Elizabeth (Mark MacDonald) flew off the wings and led the field through a quick and gapped :27 quarter in post-position order. The story remained the same to the half in :56.3 when Carlota Blue Chip (Jack Flanigen) pulled and tried to apply some heat. She was only able to get up to third on the outside before stalling with two other horses behind her at the three-quarters in 1:25.
When the outer flow faded around the last turn it allowed the rail-riding Barefoot Beauty (Jimmy Whittemore) to come off the pylons and that in turn left a spot for Just Add Vodka (Jim Morrill Jr.) to shoot up inside. At the head of the stretch, the bearing-out Up Front Elizabeth was in the middle with Barefoot Beauty to her right and Just Add Vodka to her left. The three battled to the wire with Just Add Vodka getting the advantage at the end to win by three-quarters of a length in 1:54.2.
Barefoot Beauty was second and Up Front Elizabeth was third.
It was the third win of the year for the Julie Miller trained filly that also happened to be a new lifetime mark. The victory boosted the seasonal earnings of Just Add Vodka (Art Major-Regal Wish) to $94,233 for owners Blue Chip Bloodstock Inc., Steven Demeter, Herbert Burns III and Nahuel Agosti.
Morrill praised both the horse and trainer saying "I can't believe how much better she was today. Julie did a great job getting her ready."
In the second $39,200 split, Spreester (Jason Bartlett) made quick work of a short field and two breaking horses to register a five-length romp in the fastest of the three divisions.
As the field went into the first turn, Delightful Dragon (Mark MacDonald) made an uncharacteristic break and watched as the rest of the field pulled away. Sky Artist (Kevin Cummings) was on the point but Medusa (Aaron Byron) was pushing the issue outside at the quarter in :26.4. But Medusa appeared to get foul-gaited and Byron took her back to the wood fourth. Then Blush Hanover (Jim Morrill Jr.) pulled from second to challenge but also made a break before the half in :56.1.
So with two of the three favorite guilty of miscues, Spreester, who had been sitting second through it all, pulled past the five-eighths, circled and cleared the leader before they hit the three-quarter pole in 1:25.3. When she got back to the pylons, Bartlett popped the plugs and became a passenger as Spreester shifted gears and simply paced away from everybody. She hit the wire a five-length wrapped-up winner in 1:53.3. The winner paid $5.60 to her supporters.
Delightful Dragon recovered from the early break to be second and Sky Artist hung on for third.
This was the sixth win in 14 starts for Spreester (American Ideal-Rodeo Spree) and the Paul Zabielski trained filly topped off her bank at $134,680. Spreester is owned by Kimberly Zabielski.
Bartlett commented "I really didn't want to sit in the two-hole but they kept blowing up around me. She just exploded down the lane."
The results of today's NYSS contests were important in the point's standings leading into the Night of Champions finals. Spreester took over the top spot, Just Add Vodka moved from fifth to third and Ken Doll J vaulted herself from twelfth to seventh.
There was also an Excelsior leg contested and was won by Expose who was driven by Jim Morrill Jr. in 1:56.3. The winner paid $6.80. Expose is trained by Linda Toscano and is owned by Linwood Higgins, Stake Your Claim Stable, Brittany Farms and Val D'Or Farms.
Driver Jim Morrill Jr. registered a four-win afternoon and Mark MacDonald scored a double.
Racing resumes at Batavia Downs on Monday (Sept. 1) with a special Labor Day matinee card slated to start at 1:15.

The Chestnut Hill-based Pennsylvania Girlchoir performed a concert of varied music Sunday, April 14, in Old St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church in Society Hill. Conducted by Christopher Windle and accompanied at the piano by Abigail LaVecchia, the Troubador and Trouvere divisions of the larger ensemble sang music drawn from the Renaissance all the way up to contemporary times with style and panache.
The Troubadors and the Trouveres feature singers younger in years and experience than the Pennsylvania Girlchoir's Motet Choir, the ensemble's most advanced division. The entire choir rehearses at the Presbyterian Church of Chestnut Hill under the direction of Vincent Metallo. It is paired with the Keystone State Boychoir to form the Commonwealth Youthchoirs.
All of the afternoon's singing benefitted from Old St. Joe's splendid acoustics, perhaps the finest of any church in Greater Philadelphia. Founded by Jesuit Fathers in 1733 and the oldest Roman Catholic parish in Philadelphia, Old St. Joe's current structure was built in 1838 in the Greek Revival style. Relatively small in size and made of wood, marble and plaster, the sanctuary offers acoustics that are warmly resonant yet bracingly clear.
Chestnut Hill flutist Anna Meyer will present "Accompanied by Silence: A Musical Meditation on the Theme of Love" Saturday, April 27, in St. Paul's Lutheran Church, 120 N. Easton Rd., Glenside. There will be a wine and cheese reception at 5 p.m.; the recital will begin at 6 p.m.
Meyer, the wife of Erik Meyer, music director of Chestnut Hill's Episcopal Church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, described the program as "exploring the theme of love in music, bringing alive the varied facets of this emotion through solo flute music. Presented as a meditative concert, the solo pieces will be accompanied by simple abstract watercolor paintings to give the listener a place to start his/her meditation. Where words fail us, often silence is our dearest friend; when silence becomes unbearable, there is music."
Music by Debussy, Fukushima, Lang, Higdon, Roter, Ibert, Meyer, Piazolla and Karg-Elert will be performed. Admission is free.
Under the inspired hands of guest conductor Nicholas McGegan, the Philadelphia Orchestra traveled back to the roots of the orchestral repertoire and presented three performances of an all-Bach program April 18, 19 and 20 in the Kimmel Center's Verizon Hall. I heard the Saturday evening concert with an audience that packed the house and came away impressed by McGegan's gifts as an interpreter of Bach's music and his ability to elicit stylish playing from the Philadelphians.
McGegan put together a roster of some of Bach's most magnificent scores — and then had to reconfigure it after Thursday's performance due to a lip injury suffered by principal trumpeter David Bilger. Out went the "Brandenburg" Concerto No. 2 in F major and in came the "Concerto for Two Violins & Orchestra in D minor." The concert still opened with the "Brandenburg" Concerto No. 1 in F major and continued with "Brandenburg" No. 3 in G major, but it was "Brandenburg" No. 4 in G major that rounded out the program's first half. The Double Violin Concerto opened the evening's second half, with the Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D minor rounding out the concert. One can only hope for a quick recovery for Bilger, but I for one was delighted to hear the Double Violin Concerto.
The score received a splendid rendition, especially by first associate concertmaster Juliette Kang, who took the first violin part. She proved that a violinist playing a modern instrument is able to deliver as stylistic an interpretation of a baroque score as any violinist on a period instrument if she understands the traditions of the music and has the technique to deliver her interpretation.
Principal flutist Jeffrey Khaner delivered a magnificent reading of the first flute part in the Fourth "Brandenburg." He elicited a consistently clear tone from his golden flute — certainly not of the baroque period, when they were made of wood, but just as certainly a peerless instrument for his superb musicality.
McGegan was at his best in the Third Orchestral Suite. He marshaled musical forces that were massive for Bach's day and brought the house to its feet. The performance revealed the scope of Bach's genius and the Philadelphians' mastery of a part of the repertoire that should be regularly programmed since it forms the foundation of classical music.

Shark-attack victims aim to rescue sharks
Florida woman tells of shark attack and why she supports the rescue mission
ORLANDO, Fla. – When Debbie Salamone nearly lost the use of her foot in an unprovoked shark attack 11 years ago she never imagined she would be leading a world wide effort to save sharks.
Salamone, a former journalist with the Orlando Sentinel and a spokesperson for Pew Charitable Trusts, admits she "hated sharks" and to this day swims in Weikiva Springs rather than Florida's ocean water.
In August, 2004 Salamone became one of the 61 victims of unprovoked shark attacks around the world that year.
She told WKMG-TV she remembers being in waist deep water about 50 feet from the shore off of Canaveral National Sea Shore.
A thunder storm was starting to roll in and she says she knew it was time to get out. Suddenly a fish jumped out of the water and in an instant she felt something "clamping down." It was a shark.
She tried to shake it loose but at that point she says it just "bit down harder."
As she reflects on those frightening moments Salamone concludes it must have been "a case of mistaken identity. "
Despite the need for physical therapy and a mangled foot she continues to recruit victims who will defend sharks.
"The question is do you love something enough to defend it and the answer is yes, if you can overcome the worst that it has to give," she says.
What Salamone loves is the environment and she will never stop reminding you that 100 million sharks are killed every year in part for an odd delicacy called shark fin soup.
She has gathered some of the worst of the worst shark attack survivors from around the world to take up the cause to stop the overfishing of the ocean predator.
"These are people that suffered enormously, she says, and if they can say that sharks are worth saving then that should be a message that everyone hears."
The group is backed by the Pew Charitable Trusts and has taken the message to Capitol Hill and the United Nations.
Most recently the survivors have started recruiting other shark attack victims on a Facebook page that has already attracted nearly 8,500 likes.

1965 Ford Econoline Van - The Odd Man In
Jeff & Howards's '65 Econoline Deluxe
Venturing off the stable path of F-100s and almost any old Chevy, we find cast off in the nether regions the runts or "novelty" haulers, such as the Econoline, Corvair, and A100 trucks. When one of these are brought up in conversation most people chuckle and follow that with a sorry shake of the head, but this family of castoffs has had to work hard all these years to keep up with the rest of the pack. If we even knew how many of these serviced our phones and utilities over the years, maybe they'd be a little more appreciated; this author had a '61 Econoline that was an old Southern Bell truck.
Thankfully, there are guys like Jeff and Howard Hyman, a father son team from Laguna Niguel, California, who have owned no less than three Econoline trucks. After selling the second one, an itch for another mini-cabover made itself known. The two searched for a candidate that wasn't too far gone, having learned what to and not to do during their previous builds.
Not too far away, Gregg Coddington picked up a '65 Econoline Deluxe at the Pomona Swap Meet that was already painted and lookin' sharp. It still had the stock drivetrain, but it needed an interior. Gregg got the interior done in nice black and gray leather to match the black and silver paint scheme the pickup already wore, but was soon too busy with other projects and sold it to Don Christie, president of NADA, the Blue Book people.
Don took the '65 to his longtime friend/builder Jim Van Gordon in Upland, Cailifornia, for a new drivetrain. The cramped doghouse between the seats was soon stuffed with 302 inches of small-block power. Jim built the roller motor, born in 1990, and balanced and blueprinted it before he got out the shoehorn. To aid in the transplant, he made a custom stainless exhaust system that employs Dynomax mufflers. The 320 ponies punch through a C-4 Jim built along with the limited-slip Ford 9-inch rearend that easily smokes the American Racing Torq-Thrusts
In a bold but good move, the straight axle still resides under the toes of the occupants and fits with the overall modernly clean '60s-style unibody that happens to be quite rare in its own right. Supposedly, these Deluxe models were only built for a period of two months in '65. Depending on what you read, 90 to 200 Deluxes were built in June and July that summer!
The inside of the plush cab was topped off with some Auto Meter gauges mounted on the dash in chrome cups in addition to the stock cluster. Once the chrome work was finished and the Alpine stereo was in, it was time to cruise! The guys jump in the practical yet showy Ford any chance they get, including attending many Southern California shows and using the little guy to run errands for their classic car appraisal business. If you're in the area, Jeff and Howard aren't hard to spot-just look for their grins!

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has slapped PC World for advertising product on TV that it was unable to supply to customers because of lack of stocks.
The UK retail chain, part of DSG International, has been told not to show the ad on TV again. This is the second time this year the ASA has chastised PC World on the same issue.
This time round, the ad featured an Advent 7000A notebook priced at £349. Three people who saw the ad told the ASA the product had already sold out in the local PC World stores before the spot had even been broadcast.
PC World said it had 2000 laptops available - a significant quantity and adequate to meet anticipated demand, the chain told the ASA. However, the ASA ruled that the complaints showed PC World "did not have adequate stock" of the product at the time the ad was broadcast.
The ASA rejected one complaint from a buyer who had claimed he was told the laptop was part of a more expensive bundle - he had simply been misinformed by local PC World staff, the chain said. Yes, that's rather poor customer service, but it is outside the ASA's remit.
However, the ads watchdog upheld a third complaint which objected to PC World's characterisation of the laptop's 40GB hard drive as "huge", a statement which the ASA ruled "exaggerated the technical specifications" of the low-cost computer.
PC World was ordered not to run the ad again in its current form. That's hardly a compelling sanction: since the low-price deal is now past, it's unlikely to do so in any case.
In January this year, the ASA ruled PC World has "misled" consumers by running an ad for product which it apparently had insufficient stock to meet demand. PC World had "not shown that it had made a reasonable estimate of demand based on previous similar promotions, or that sufficient stock of the product was available to meet that demand", the ASA ruled at the time.
An ASA spokeswoman told us the organisation has no hard and fast rules on deciding when an advertiser becomes classed as a 'repeat offender', but it's typically three distinct instances of the same complaint. In such circumstances, she said, the organisation would seek to work with the company concerned before imposing such sanctions as requiring all ads to be fully cleared before publication or broadcast, and ultimately rising to a potential prosecution under Trading Standards legislation. ®

London Mayor Boris Johnson "can't even be bothered" to run the Metropolitan Police Authority (MPA), Tony McNulty said today.
Calling the Tory mayor a 'clown', the Harrow East Labour MP slammed him for his decision to quit his year-old leadership of the London police.
According to the Press Association, McNulty criticised Johnson for a number of failings, including not delivering the money for rape crisis centres and raising the price of travelling on public transport in the capital.
McNulty also said the mayor had broken his promise to have more police operating in London. He said the most recent proposals meant a 500-strong decrease.
Johnson is stepping down because he wants "reorganise and refocus" on other projects, and McNulty questioned those commitments.
"This man can't even be bothered chairing the MPA but still takes £250,000 from the Daily Telegraph.
"Isn't it the case that London has stopped laughing at this clown?"
Johnson's decision means his deputy will take over the reins at Scotland Yard. It follows a change in the law which enabled the mayor to take control of policing in the capital.
Harriet Harman said today she will call for a Home Office investigation into his decision.

The Enterprise is captured by an alien claiming to be Apollo, the Greek god of the sun.
As the USS Enterprise nears the planet Pollux IV, a huge, green hand made of energy materializes in space, catching and holding the ship.
Act One
Then, on scanner five-seven, a new image: the ghostly, laurel-wreathed head of a man. Claiming the eons have passed, he welcomes the Enterprise crew, congratulating his "beloved children" for leaving their plains and valleys and making a "bold venture" into deep space. Among other things, this being claims familiarity with Earth, at least from five thousand years ago, tossing about the names of individuals alive then. Captain Kirk's repeated demands for freedom finally irritate him, and he threatens to "close his hand" and crush the ship – a threat that seems very real. This threat finally prompts Kirk to agree to visit the planet with his officers, except for Spock. Spock evidently reminds this being of Pan, who always bored him.
The landing party consists of Kirk, McCoy, Scotty, Chekov and Lieutenant Carolyn Palamas. Palamas is trained in archaeology, anthropology, and ancient civilizations – all fields likely to be of some use here. There, they meet the being responsible for their capture. A being familiar with ancient Earth, and who introduces himself as Apollo. Despite his claims, McCoy's scans show him to be a "simple humanoid".
Act Two
Apollo claims he and others – Zeus, Athena, Aphrodite, Hera, Hermes and Artemis – were a "gallant band of travelers" who visited Earth five thousand years ago. He demands to be worshiped, and in return offers a simple yet pleasurable life. He reveals himself as petulant, arrogant, and accustomed to obedience. All these qualities correspond with his depictions as a god. But he controls a power that also makes him very dangerous, as the crew discover in a number of ways: phasers are fused, and individuals are injured by lightning strikes, or other acts of directed will. And, he has developed a romantic interest in Palamas, whom he wants to make into his queen.
Despite his array of tricks, the Enterprise landing party refuses to completely believe Apollo is a god. Aboard the ship, Spock is proceeding under the same assumption, and the crew there may be making headway: Uhura busies herself rigging a subspace bypass circuit to restore communications. And Sulu discovers a strange radiated power with no clear source.
Apollo, meanwhile, has taken Palamas away from the rest of the Enterprise crew. During a conversation, she discovers that the gods left Earth when mankind turned away from them. They returned to their home, an empty place without worshipers. But they lacked the strength to leave, and so they waited. And over the course of time, all but Apollo discorporated. Apollo claims the gods are immortal, and can't die, at least, not the way Humans understand death. But even they eventually reach a point of no return; they "spread themselves upon the wind... thinner, and thinner, until only the wind remained..." He then mentions that he "knew [Carolyn] would come to the stars" and be forever by his side as his wife and queen. Carolyn doesn't understand, but Apollo manages to seduce her by saying that fifty centuries ago, gods took mortals with them to love and care for, like how his parents fell in love. They then kiss.
The landing party has also discovered the energy flow, but, like Sulu, they cannot isolate it. Chekov's theory is that Apollo can channel this flow of energy through his body without harm to himself. Finding the source of this energy is top priority. McCoy adds something very interesting: while generally a standard humanoid, Apollo has an extra organ in his chest that so far defies understanding. Chekov makes a key observation: as Apollo vanishes, he appears tired or pained. It seems that Apollo has a limited reservoir, and when he expends too much energy, he must retreat and recharge. Aboard ship, as Uhura and Sulu work, Spock has devised a method he hopes will penetrate the force field, at least in a few places; he proposes to generate M-rays on selected wavelengths.
On Apollo's return, the landing party attempts to goad him into attacking someone; their goal is to force him to expend his power, and weaken him so that he might be overpowered. But Palamas, who was not part of the plan, ruins it in her well-meaning attempt to save Kirk from Apollo's wrath.
Act Three
Attempts to foil Apollo's plans are hampered by Palamas, who has fallen in love with the god and whom Apollo decides will be his queen and the future mother of the thousands of gods he wishes to have. This is a problem, because Kirk's final plan requires her to spurn Apollo; if she does this, depriving him of the love and adulation he needs, it may weaken him. If she chooses Apollo, the Enterprise crew had better be prepared for a radical change in their lives.
Act Four
Spock determines that the god's powers come from his temple. The Enterprise has used his technique to pierce the force field around the ship. When Kirk tells Palamas to reject Apollo, which she reluctantly does, the captain orders Spock to use the Enterprise's weapons to destroy Apollo's temple. Apollo, rejected by a mortal woman and bereft of his powers, spreads himself upon the winds to join his fellow gods. After he is gone, McCoy and Kirk regret what they had to do, but what Apollo demanded, mankind could no longer give.

Background information
Production timeline
- Story outline by Gilbert Ralston, 8 March 1967
- Teleplay, 7 April 1967
- Filmed late May and early June 1967
- Score recording, 12 July 1967
- Original airdate, 22 September 1967
- Rerun airdate, 10 May 1968
Story and production
- The title is taken from Adonais: An Elegy on the Death of John Keats by Percy Bysshe Shelley. Line 415 reads "Who mourns for Adonais?". Shelley's Adonais is derived from Adonis, a male figure of Greek mythology associated with fertility. Also, "Adonais" would be the English plural of the Hebrew noun, so it would mean "Who Mourns for Gods?"
- According to Allan Asherman's The Star Trek Compendium, an abandoned ending to this episode would have revealed that Palamas was pregnant by Apollo (see Apocrypha). In fact, James Blish uses this ending in his adaptation of the episode in Star Trek 7:
- KIRK: "Yes, Bones? Somebody ill?"
- McCOY: "Carolyn Palamas rejected her breakfast this mornin."
- KIRK: "Some bug going around?"
- McCOY: "She's pregnant, Jim. I've just examined her."
- KIRK: "What?"
- McCOY: "You heard me."
- KIRK: "Apollo?"
- McCOY: "Yes"
- KIRK: "Bones, it's impossible!"
- McCOY: "Spock, may I put a question to this gadget of yours? I'd like to ask it if I'm to turn my Sickbay into a delivery room for a human child–or a god. My medical courses did not include obstetrics for infant gods."
- In the original script, the gods and other mythological figures were mentioned in their Latin names, but in the revised final draft (and the finished episode) they are called by their original Greek equivalents (possibly for the suggestion of series researcher Kellam de Forest).[1]
- The plot of "Star Trek: The God Thing", Gene Roddenberry's rejected script for the first motion picture, is similar to this episode's. Star Trek V: The Final Frontier also covers much the same ground.
- Behind-the-scenes stills reveal that Arch Dalzell acted as the director of photography for part of the shoot, as his name is shown on some of the clapperboards. However, regular director of photography Jerry Finnerman's name is also shown on some of the clapperboards. Why Dalzell was involved in the production of this episode is unknown; in any case Finnerman is the only credited director of photography in the episode's end credits. [2]

- In the trailer, the phasers fired by the Enterprise at the temple are blue. In the episode itself, they are red. They would once again be blue in the remastered version of this episode (see below).
- A traveling matte was used to allow a giant Apollo to appear with the landing party in the foreground at the end of act one. (The Star Trek Compendium)
- Apollo's temple was constructed on an indoor studio set. Swaying trees (courtesy of hidden stagehands) and dubbed-in bird sounds were combined with stock footage of an outdoor lake and adequately conveyed the illusion of being outdoors. (The Star Trek Compendium)
- Leslie Parrish would wear the famous Bill Theiss dress again in another Desilu/Paramount show: a 1968 episode of "Mannix" entitled "The Girl in the Frame."
- The scene where Apollo flips Scotty to the side was actually executed by stunt double, Jay Jones, who was wearing a special harness with which he was pulled backward on cue. (The Star Trek Compendium)
- The second season blooper reel shows Michael Forest parading very effeminately in his Apollo costume. Mr. Forest was supposedly displeased with his costume, and this was his way of showing it.
- Fred Steiner's score for this episode is among the strongest in the entire series, and sections of it are present in many later Star Trek segments, including "Requiem for Methuselah". (The Star Trek Compendium)
- This is the only time in TOS that a star is both referred to as its Bayer designation and ancient name, specifically β Geminorum / Pollux.
- Jason Alexander cites this episode as his favorite of the original series, describing it as "thought-provoking, beautiful, and very sad." (TV Guide: Vol. 44, No. 34, Issue #2265, pg. 33)
Remastered information
The remastered version of this episode premiered in syndication the weekend of 12 January 2008. It featured new shots of the giant hand in space and an enhanced version of the phaser attack on Apollo's temple.
- The next remastered episode to air was "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield".
- In Peter David's Star Trek: New Frontier, character Mark McHenry is a descendant of the child of Apollo and Carolyn Palamas (revealed to have been impregnated during the events of this episode), and has at least some of Apollo's powers.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Thank you VERY much for the concern..TRUELY appreciated .
Just to clarify..any of the tanks i would use are designed to hold MUCH more than 120-175 PSI,the 2 availabilities i have is from nuclear power plants and Paper Plants,the tanks from the nuke plants are used as Residual Heat Reducers right before the hot water/pressure is exposed to air in the turbines,these tanks take more PSI abuse than any compressor out there ever would.
The other i am considering is a resevour(spell check) for steam under pressure used to run the paper machines.
Im hoping to get the one from the nuke plant because anything that comes in the gate to a nuke plant is traced from the day the material was mined,to the steel mill and to the plant for quality insurance,cant get any better material.
This is why government and nuclear plants pay so much for everything,the suppliers have to pay for the tracable stamp on materials and pay an outragious insurance premium to cover any faults or damages in cause of the product,just an example..if a tank they fabricated and supplied happen to fail during a runnin period of the reactor,they have to be liable for any damages it caused..plus 1.2 million bucks a day loss that the plants produce..( i need to get into THAT type of insurance biz).
So long story short,yes anything i use will be MORE than fit for the job and overly safe..thanks Ireland........John
PS..im glad you clarified that in here because alot of people MAY think just using any steel tank is ok to use..which is FAR from the truth.
|Irelands child
Obviously you can do what you want - but please reconsider NOT using an uncertified tank. They don't just go bang. his is one heck of an explosion - think big. Way back in the '60s, Richard Petty had a cousin killed at a race when a little 2-3 Hp version blew - and it did a lot of collateral damage. Side wall thickness doesen't have much to do with the tank pressure capacity as there are many grades of steel and stainless - and if it is used in the wrong application......or has an incorrect weld spec for major pressure, i.e. 150 and up, it will not work. Think safe - if not for you, then anyone nearby.
I work on alot of vessels(tanks) in my line of work,repairing,installing,modifications..etc. at paper plants,auto plants,power plants and etc.You would be surprised at how many brand new tanks are scrapped because the fabricator built or designed them wrong and don't fit or is the wrong type of vessel built,alot of times they just send the right one out to the site immediatly so they can get things running again ASAP and the customer keeps or scraps the wrong one because of the cost of shipping it back over rides the cost of the tank and rendered useless to them anyhow because it has already been modified for a specific purpose and could never modify it properly for another purpose and still stand behind it as being brand new.
Any of the stainless tanks i would be able to get my hands on would be a minimum of 1/8th of an inch thick and up to 3/8's of an inch thick.
Nothing like the paper thin tanks of today's compressor tanks made of cheap mild steel,
It would be used in a shop outside in its own weather proof shelter,no where near the home.
The peak HP of the motor is the least of your considerations. That is a meaningless figure based on the motor being under absolutely no load. A better figure to look at is the service factor or SF. If it's 1.15, it means it can operate at 115% of horsepower rating. An electric motor, whether AC or DC, produces 3 ft lbs of torque per horsepower at 1750 RPMs. If the motor is running at 3500 RPMs, it is producing half that, or 1.5 ft lbs of torque per horsepower. All you need that motor to do is turn the compressor. Naturally, the more actual horsepower the motor produces will make it work less while it's turning the compressor, but if the motor is sized correctly for the load, turning the compressor is no problem for the motor. The motor should not burn up unless it is being overloaded because the compressor has locked up.
Ireland's Child is bang on.
Let me throw this out to ponder.
If you were to use a non-certified tank as a pressure vessel and it exploded, the damage may not be covered by your home owner's insurance. The same may be true if you remove or never installed a GFI breaker (where required by code) from a circuit and a fire occurred.
The chances of having a claim denied increases exponentially with an insurance policy covering a business.
When you have an insurance claim for a car accident, the insurance company seeks to assign blame to minimize their outlay. However, they usually wind up paying even if you're at fault. If you had non-DOT rated tires on your rod and had an accident, the insurance company could deny your claim. Though, it probably doesn't happen or at least, often.
Aviation insurance is different. If you use a non-certified part or a part that can't be properly traced for history, you have no insurance! It's not a matter of threatening to sue the insurance company. You flatly have no insurance coverage. Your claim will be rejected and you have no recourse.
If not in place now, this position will become a standard for claim denial for other types of insurance. The insurance company will look for any reason to deny your claim and finding a building code violation is what their looking for.
|Irelands child
I take what your saying is to keep the pump and motor seperated from the tank on a frame and maybe run hardlines from the pump to the tank with filters in between?..am i right?..John
|I'm at work right now, but do a search for "air compressor class action lawsuit" Then read thru some of that. You'll be surprised at who manufacturs what. There are only about three manufacturers for the "big box store" compressors but there is a multitude of different names. And when it boils down to it, what the lawsuit is about is what the companies advertise what you are getting vs. what you actually get. The CLA is older and over with, but the reading gives you an idea as to what type of compressor to get. Bottom line. Almost all are mainly made in China
I bought the Kobalt 2 stage from Lowes about three years ago and it's still running fine. There was one period that I did use it a lot but most of the time it doesn't run very often. I would rather have had one of the top notch compressors but couldn't justify the extra money no more than I use one.
|Irelands child
I still get my construction grade wood at Lowe's but any fancy stuff comes from a local lumber yard - and has the big prices to go with the quality. Even they are starting to get some crap veneers so you have to look. There is so little that I'll buy at the big box stores that I still have almost $60 worth of gift cards left from last Xmas even after I just spent a bunch the other day just to start using them up - I know there will be more coming. Black & Decker, while never (in the last 20 years, anyhow) have never been a great tool, but the junk Lowe's is now selling says Hecho en Chine - a bit deceptive.
My compressor is actually an I-R tho it says Charge Aire from Lowe's. It was a special order after the previous one blew up - 13 cfm @ 40/[email protected] So far, 6 years, it still works fine. If it lasts half as long as my 1972 1Hp Craftsman, I'll be happy. The old clunker has a 1Hp motor that is physically bigger then the 5Hp (6.5 peak??) on the new and will probably run on something long after the compressor dies as long as it can be plugged in somewhere. Someday, I'll get a 'real' compressor
I have a wood shop and use oak and birch veneer plywood that I
use to buy at the big box stores, not anymore!
They all are getting Chineese ply now and the top veneer is so thin
that you can't sand it without going through.
I guess that leaves only PVC to buy there now-LOL
Unless the pump/motor is mounted remotely a good distance from the tank (not a bad idea at all) it is impossible to prevent water from condensing inside the tank and it needs to be drained daily to prevent water build up. A properly designed air line system is the solution (it works! ) to the water in the lines problem and this has been covered many times here.
I have a 60 gallon (upright) black max 220V air compressor that I have had for many years now. So for no issues with it. As I understand it the Black Max line was made by sanborn.
It is ok, but I wish it were 2 stage. I do not know the HP or CFM ratings on it. I need to look again.
They sold out to coleman and are no longer made.
Ive had a Porter-Cable 60 gallon for 6 years I bought at Lowes and put it though hell with no problems,it has painted several cars,trucks,trailers and tractors with HVLP's,ran all types of air tools, etc.
I also put synthetic oil in mine,on top of that when i run it in the south east Georgia "Oven Summers" I put a cheap box fan blowing directly on the motor and compressor to help cool it down a bit.
I'm going to be buying another one soon,and this time I'm gonna pay the money for one to handle more CFM because mine does "OK" painting with HVLP's but cuts it close spraying each coat,if i remember right its only 11 CFM @ 90PSI.
As far as trying to keep humidity out of the tank itself that is real hard to do because of the heat generated from the air pressure inside it,I have a heavy duty industrial type BIG water sperator a guy gave me at a Paper Plant I work alot that is what they use on their Plant Air lines for some of the equipment thats sensitive to moisture,I'm gonna hard line it in between my compressor pump and tank to see if it helps any but im thinking most of the moisture condensates inside the tank itself because thats where all the heat is generated at,its worth a try anyhow...
I have a question that ive never seen here yet,why dont they make stainless steel tanks?..seems to me that would be the caddilac of tanks since no worries of them rusting out?.
Repairs and upgrades
I bought a Campbell-Hausfeld single stage 60 gallon at Lowes several years ago. I put that thing to work hard many times over the years. It has lasted well, served well, and did everything I asked of it so far.
I have changed the oil in it twice now and mixed in some synthetic along with the compressor oil. Maybe that helped?
However, if and when the compressor part of it goes out, I think I'll look for replacement parts from Eaton. I wonder if I can convert it to a two-stage?
Now if I could figure out a reasonable priced way to reduce humidity. Dang mid-west humidity means I have to empty water out of the tank after a short time. I have one Sears in-line water filter, that MAY help SOME, but in no way does it get all of the water out of the line. Besides, I'd really like to stop it BEFORE it gets into the tank ....and no I don't want to spend big bucks on an A/C unit. This is a hobby.

Every day thousands of people want to getting a tattoos, but can't decide which design to use. It's a difficult decision unless you know what you want. Not only are there an unlimited number of tattoo designs available, you've got the permanancy factor to overcome. In all likelihood, your new tattoos will be with you for life, so you've got to be certain that your choice of design will be as relevant to you years into the future as it is today.
Tattoos are a highly personal items and can mean so many different things to each person. For example, some people use tattoos to express their personality, some people use them to show their love for another person, while some people see tattoos as art and their body as an empty canvas.
The next stage is to look at as many different tattoo styles as possible. Weed out the styles and the types of design that you don't like and see what's left. At present, some of the most popular tattoo designs include;
1) Angel tattoo
Angel tattoos are popular with people who want to reflect the religious or spiritual side of their personality. Alternatively, if you would like an angelic design without the religious overtones, why not consider a fairy tattoo?
2) Butterfly tattoos
A butterfly tattoo represents grace and freedom. They also symbolize beauty, which makes them popular with women. They're also perfect for people who have never had a tattoo before or those who want a small tattoo.
3) Celtic tattoos
These ancient patterns and designs, which are often represented by elaborate knots and crosses are perfect for anyone with Scottish or Irish family connections.
4) Cross tattoo
Again, these designs can symbolize religious faith, but they're also commonly used with eternity symbols to show enduring love or friendship. So they're good if you want to get a tattoo with your children's names on it.
5) Flowers tattoos
Flower tattoos are a sign of beauty, growth and regeneration. And if you want a bright, vibrant tattoo with plenty of color, flowers will give you an endless number of possibilities.
6) Stars tattoo
Star tattoo designs are extremely popular and as such have come to symbolize a different cultural, social and religious meaning for many millions of people. In general, star tattoos represent positivity, dreams and high ambitions.
7) Tribal tattoos
Tribal tattoo designs have got a long and diverse history. Over the years different styles and shapes have come to represent many different historical tribes and cultures. So they're great for people who want to show a connection with their past ancestors.
8) Dragon tattoos
popular dragon tattoo for women or female beach, the dragon tattoo is very cool and beautiful.

The test will certify whether the electrics in a property are safe and tell you if anything needs upgrading.

- ✰ Did Bible Study and Anti-Drug Vow Cause Miami Cannibal Attack?
- Contrary to media presentations, it appears Eugene did not take bath salts, LSD, or cocaine. According to his girlfriend he frequently used marijuana but refused all other drugs. He even avoided medication for minor ailments like headaches. Two days before the attack Eugene and two friends had a Bible study where they discussed how to become better men according to the word of God. Eugene vowed to give up marijuana. It is more likely that this vow – not bath salts – precipitated the attack.
- The young people's meetings I went to all over Los Angeles featured a revolving cast of men that I would call perverts. They weren't the obvious kind of creeps, either, with windowless white vans and long trench coats. They looked like everyone else at the meetings: tattooed and cool and smoking cigarettes. These men swarmed me, as they did every other newcomer too young and inexperienced to distinguish between the loving hand of AA and the clammy hand of a predator. They welcomed me to the meetings, they gave me over-long hugs, they offered me smokes when I was still too young to buy my own. I felt absolutely enveloped by the program. I had never had so many people pay attention to me in my life. But what I thought of as harmless flirting—and all flirting is harmless when you're 17 and your curfew is 10 pm—these men rightly interpreted as vulnerability.
- ✰ Study finds Stone Age artists were the first animators
- Another popular technique can be seen in an image of a "eight-legged" bison at Chauvet cave, which is actually two superimposed images in slightly different stances. Azéma and Rivère say they have found 53 figures in twelve different caves that use this technique to represent animals running, tossing their heads, or shaking their tails. An even more impressive example is the use of stone or bone disks with engravings of a sitting and standing animal on opposite sides, which may have served as a prehistoric version of the 19th century toy known as a thaumatrope. If a strand of animal tendon run through a hole in the center of the disk was twisted and then rapidly untwisted, it would make the disk spin so fast that the two images would merge into an animation of the animal changing position.
- ✰ Hamilton Morris gets high for a living – and invites you to watch
- When people ask Hamilton Morris what he does, he tells them he works in science. "I don't have any desire to explain myself," he says. Which is a shame, because if he did, they'd get a much more outlandish answer. Morris is a 24-year-old psychonaut – that is to say, an explorer in the realm of psychoactive substances. Another way of putting this is that he takes drugs for a living. Resembling an even-more-attenuated member of the Horrors and talking in a distinctive, deep bass voice with long, drawled vowels that themselves sound narcotised, Morris travels the world in search of new highs. These adventures, which he undertakes with a mix of gonzo abandon and scholarly rigour, are chronicled in the vice.com video series Hamilton's Pharmacopeia.
- ✰ Dozy dealer's pictures land him behind bars
- A DOZY drug dealer was caught out after taking pictures of himself wearing a crown made of £20 notes with a bag of drugs hanging from his mouth. Other images found on Ayub Hagos' mobile phone included piles of cash, guns, knives and white powder. The 19-year-old was arrested after police found heroin and crack cocaine in the flat he was staying at in Oxford Road, Southsea. He denied having anything to do with the drugs but when police found the photographs on his phone Hagos realised the game was up and changed his plea. He was jailed for three-and-a-half years at Portsmouth Crown Court. His barrister Alexander Thompson said Hagos had been naive. 'He took the photographs as bravado to make himself seem more important in front of his peers,' he said. 'It's incredibly naive for a sophisticated drug dealer to have these sort of photographs on his phone.'
- ✰ Michael Jackson ordered minders to shoot his brother Randy
- Matt, who last Sunday revealed to The Sun Jacko's romance with fellow superstar Whitney Houston, told how the King of Pop hated his skin colour so much he almost BURNED off his willy with bleaching creams. And the chart-topper desperately tried to BED Pamela Anderson months before his death — after becoming obsessed with her fake breasts and plastic surgery. Matt revealed that Jacko: DESPISED Madonna so much he named one of his deadly pet snakes after her. POKED holes in a voodoo doll he made of Steven Spielberg after the singer became a Nazi sympathiser. FLEW into a rage when he was barred from buying the Speaker's chair from the House of Commons to use as his "green throne". HID a huge stash of porn.
- ✰ Small Mexican town of Tenancingo is major source of sex trafficking pipeline to New York
- In this small Mexican town that sends sex slaves to New York, little boys dream of growing up to be pimps. Gaudy gabled houses that rise above gated walls are proof of the profits to be made from funneling "delivery girls" to Roosevelt Ave. in Queens. An annual parade of pimps in plumed hats — wielding whips to settle business beefs — is evidence that cash and fear has conquered shame here. "Many kids aspire to be traffickers," said Emilio Munoz Berruecos, who grew up in the next village and runs a local human rights center. "This is a phenomenon that goes back half a century." The town of 10,000, about 80 miles from Mexico City, is Mexico's undisputed cradle of sex trafficking, one end of a pipeline that leads directly to our city's streets. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's New York field office arrested 32 sex traffickers last year; 26 of them were from Tenancingo.
- ✰ Asheville Monkey Owner Charged With Drug Violations
- City animal control officers were called to Winecoff's home Sunday evening after the monkey escaped and bit three people in the nearby neighborhood before returning home, Welch said. Officers obtained a search warrant when no one answered the door and went inside, finding the monkey and noticing drug paraphernalia in the home, Welch said. Winecoff returned home as officers were searching the house. Obtaining a second search warrant to look for drugs, officers then discovered about 3 pounds of marijuana along with hashish, mushrooms and Ecstasy, Welch said.
- ✰ 44 children in Michigan have marijuana cards
- It's a tiny fraction of the 131,483 people who have received medical marijuana cards since Michigan's voter-approved program started in 2009, according to a state website. The program is run by the Bureau of Health Professions in the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. Of the 44 minors with cards, 21 are 17 years old, 11 are 16 and five are 15. A 7-year-old and two 9-year-olds also have received the cards, the Detroit Free Press ( ) reported Sunday. Two others are 14 years old, and a 13-year-old and 11-year-old also hold the cards.
- ✰ Propofol, drug that Michael Jackson OD'd on, to be used in Missouri executions
- The same anesthetic that caused the overdose death of pop star Michael Jackson is now the drug of choice for executions in Missouri, causing a stir among critics who question how the state can guarantee a drug untested for lethal injection won't cause pain and suffering for the condemned.
- ✰ Man 'thrown off balcony' saved by pot plant
- It is alleged a fight broke out between the two men after Mr Purvis approached his neighbour on behalf of everyone in the apartment block to ask him to stop vacuuming in the early hours of the morning. "He came out and he got me by my trousers and my jacket there, and he tipped me over onto my pot plant down there," Mr Purvis told A Current Affair. Mr Purvis said the pot plant saved his life by breaking his fall.
- ✰ Tanorexic teen racks up $50k bills on sunbed sessions
- However the teenager soon became hooked on tanning and has since spent $52,505 (£23,000) on salon treatments and fake tan products. But the blonde, who now lives in New Jersey, refuses to stop using sunbeds and relies on modelling work to fund her addiction. She said: 'It's definitely been worth spending all that money. I'm in the modelling industry so I have to look good all the time. 'Some people spend way more than that on cigarettes, so I just look at tanning as my guilty pleasure. Mum did the right thing, she wanted me to be happy.'
- ✰ Dying Chinese Drug Addict Wu Guilin's Last Days
- April 18 to May 6, in a room in the old county seat of Huidong in Guangdong province, this reporter used 19 days to witness the last part of drug addict Wu Guilin's life.
- ✰ Real cost of the smartphone revolution
- If, however, you're concerned about things such as freedom, control and innovation, then the prospect of a world in which most people access the internet via smartphones and other cloud devices is a troubling one. Why? Because smartphones (and tablets) are tightly controlled, "tethered" appliances. You may think that you own your shiny new iPhone or iPad, for example. But in fact an invisible chain stretches from it all the way back to Apple's corporate HQ in California. Nothing, but nothing, goes on your iDevice that hasn't been approved by Apple. And even if you're not an Apple fanboy and sport an Android-powered mobile device, there is still the problem that your access to the internet is regulated by a company – your mobile network provider – which is free not just to charge prohibitively for access but also to decide what you can access and what you can't.
- ✰ Who Has Your Back? Worst Companies at Protecting User Privacy: Skype, Verizon, Yahoo!, AT&T;, Apple, Microsoft
- When you use the Internet, you entrust your online conversations, thoughts, experiences, locations, photos, and more to companies like Google, AT&T; and Facebook. But what happens when the government demands that these companies to hand over your private information? Will the company stand with you? Will it tell you that the government is looking for your data so that you can take steps to protect yourself?
- ✰ Chemists Outrun Laws in War on Synthetic Drugs
- The war on drugs has a new front, and so far it appears to be a losing one. Synthetic mimics of marijuana, dissociative drugs and stimulants — such as the "bath salts" allegedly consumed by Randy Eugene, the Florida man shot after a horrific face-eating assault — are growing in popularity and hard to control. Every time a compound is banned, overseas chemists synthesize a new version tweaked just enough to evade a law's letter. It's a giant game of chemical Whack-a-Mole. "Manufacturers turn these things around so quickly. One week you'll have a product with compound X, the next week it's compound Y," said forensic toxicologist Kevin Shanks of AIT Laboratories, an Indiana-based chemical testing company. "It's fascinating how fast it can occur, and it's fascinating to see the minute changes in chemical structure they'll come up with. It's similar, but it's different," Shanks continued. During the last several years, the market for legal highs has exploded in North America and Europe
- ✰ Law enforcement officials refuse to identify who installed 'mystery' cameras on utility poles throughout St. Lawrence County NY
- Some area law enforcement officials apparently know who is installing the mysterious camera boxes on utility poles around St. Lawrence County, but they're not saying who it is. The boxes, with a window for cameras to peer out of, have popped up in Norwood, Raymondville, DeKalb Junction, Waddington, Massena and Canton, according to witnesses. Law enforcement officials at local, state and federal agencies agree the boxes contain license plate readers that take snapshots, and are not video cameras that send live feeds. But none of them are willing to identify what agency the cameras belong to and who is operating them.
- ✰ The Blockbuster Scam: A Surprising Way You're Getting Ripped-Off By Hollywood
- That New Mexico managed to find $22 million to subsidize a major motion picture should raise some eyebrows, considering that, in the last few years, it has cut funding for services for the elderly and the disabled, preschool, higher education, and its state workforce. "We could have spent that $22 million on all kinds of things, like education for our children. We could have spent it on roads," said New Mexico state Rep. Dennis Kintigh (R). New Mexico is far from the only state providing subsidies for film and television production. In 2010, 43 states spent $1.5 billion on film and TV subsidies. Of the nine films that were nominated for best picture in 2012, five received state subsidies, including The Help, Moneyball and The Descendents.
- ✰ Western banks 'reaping billions from Colombian cocaine trade'
- The vast profits made from drug production and trafficking are overwhelmingly reaped in rich "consuming" countries – principally across Europe and in the US – rather than war-torn "producing" nations such as Colombia and Mexico, new research has revealed. And its authors claim that financial regulators in the west are reluctant to go after western banks in pursuit of the massive amount of drug money being laundered through their systems. The most far-reaching and detailed analysis to date of the drug economy in any country – in this case, Colombia – shows that 2.6% of the total street value of cocaine produced remains within the country, while a staggering 97.4% of profits are reaped by criminal syndicates, and laundered by banks, in first-world consuming countries.

Lovely photos! And I can tell with my experience from making raw recipes that this is absolutely a blow-out fantastically delicious dish. I'd opt for the maca instead of coffee and carob instead of cacao, but each to their own, and much hugs along the way!

Thank you sweetheart!! I haven't tried it with maca (I'm off maca for the moment) but anything with maca and chocolate is divine :) I don't drink coffee but enjoy it occasionally like in a dessert. The 7 tablespoons of black coffee was pure bliss in this mousse. Oh!

Gosh this is so yummy! I also love raw and this is absolutely a perfect treat for me. I'll probably make a twist when I try to eat this. I will sprinkle it with a teaspoon of chlorella to make it more healthy. Yay! Can't wait to try this.

EA Sports boss Peter Moore says he's keeping a close eye on 3D gaming, but while it's a new priority for Sony it's not yet one for his division.
"Sony has made it a strategic imperative for the company. And when Sony does something of that nature then we as a company need to sit up and take notice," he told GamesIndustry.biz at a FIFA event yesterday in London. "But believe me there's nothing going on right now that would say I'm ready to demo a 3D sports game. Nothing at all."
Motion-control gaming is the new technology getting EA Sports' attention for the time being, he said. Moore added that "we're going to have our core intellectual property represented in some shape of fashion on those platforms." But he would not say if EA Sports will have titles ready for either at their launch.

Branding Your Etsy Shop Part Three from BeckLee Cottage Designs
Some of this information comes from my post a few weeks about about "How to tweet for business without being a Twitt". If you have not connected your Etsy shop with your Twitter or Facebook pages…get busy.
If you notice in your Etsy account dashboard, under settings, look for connections and add your facebook and twitter accounts. That will assure more exposure for your shop when someone comes to your main shop page they will have the option to "like" your facebook and twitter accounts.
1. How to find quality tweeters:
You can add many followers in a matter of minutes if you like but they may end of being spammy and will not read your tweets or support your tweets.
Twitter has a great search feature that allows you to search the twitter feeds for keywords that are in your targeted markets. If you sell beading supplies you would search for beading, beading supplies or anything related to beading or jewelry. Pick a few of the results, read their tweets, look at who they follow and who follows them. There is a good application called klout.com you might use this application to rate a particular twitter user. Pick ten or so twitter users that rate well or that you personally enjoy their tweets. Follow the ten and drill down into those they follow. Spend twenty to thirty minutes a day looking at twitter lists and picking quality users to follow.
2. Twitter Following Etiquette:
Once you have a few followers: be sure to respond to each follower with a personal message or mention such as, thanks for the follow or whatever works for you. You might try an application like SocialOomph that will set up an auto reply for you. There are many users that frown on the auto response to a twitter follower. In fact unless you are a major celebrity or national company that gets thousands of followers a day, auto response is considered by many as downright rude. It could turn off potential customers.
3. Links,Re-tweets and Hashtags:
It is possible to link your twitter account to feed into your blogs and facebook accounts. Blogger and WordPress blog platforms are very simple to link to your twitter feed. Twitter Feed is a good program to use to set up links to your main sites.
Re-tweet: is what happens when someone likes one of your tweets and they re-tweet it from their twitter account. Read and respond to tweets by your followers, hopefully in turn they will reply which gets you a mention or re-tweet of your comment. Re-tweets may expose an entirely new group of tweeters to your products or information. HootSuite and Tweet Deck are two applications to help track of your twitter account.
Hashtags are just like keywords that are used to optimize your webpage on the internet. Hashtags help twitter to keep track of trends and like items. An example of a tweet with a hashtag could be @mybeadingsupply find our specials today on faucets #beads #supplies #jewelrysupplies #etsy.The word beading will help group your tweet into the twitter search, your tweet could show up in three different search criteria which increase your chances of customers finding your webpage.
Here is basic user information from a neat Youtube video http://youtu.be/uTc3ROMJsAY
The best advice is to jump in and get your feet wet. Twitter can be a very powerful business partner.
From → Marketing, My other blogs, Tuesday Feature
Thanks for the tips. I admit while I think I have a solid grasp on how to utilize my Facebook page, Twitter is still confusing to me. It's embarrassing to admit, but I just figure out what my mention page was, and realize a lot fo people were responding to my tweets and retweeting and I had no idea! Sheesh!!!

Grimas, Cake, Daylight-TV, 3
Grimas, Cake Daylight-TV, Make up "3"
These colours are designed for use in daylight or under TV studio lighting
Grimas Cake makeup is easy to use, ideal for large cast shows, dance and school productions. The matt finish is very useful for television, film and photography and as a base for face painting.
Available in 35 gramme containers, which is sufficient to cover 50-60 faces.
Clean the skin with a Cleansing Lotion to remove excess grease. If the skin is dehydrated or sensitive, apply a thin layer of Grimas undermakeup base after cleansing and leave it 3-5 minutes to absorb before applying the Cake makeup.
Do not use any greasy creams under Cake makeup. They will make the makeup streaky.
Cake makeup is a water based matt base makeup applied with a damp foam sponge. Once the cake makeup has dried, which it does very quickly, use eyeshadow/rouge for highlight, shading and blusher.
