D.I.Y. Isolation Booth FAQ

What are the exterior Dimensions of the booth? 4ft X 4ft x 7.2ft for the 4X4 and 4ft X 6ft x 7.2ft

Can this booth be made bigger or smaller using the same design? This is a common question and the answer is yes, up to 6ft X 6ft X 7.8ft.

Will I need tools? The bare minimum tools you will need for this project are: Skillsaw, Power Drill, Dremmel as well as a few bits and screws. If you do not have tools then borrow or rent them or hire a contractor to help you. You can also find cheap tools second hand.

How much are the materials going to cost me? This varies because there are three build levels of this booth. The plans are designed to build the professional booth. Depending on your budget and personal preference, you can leave out any feature in order to build a basic or advanced booth with the option to upgrade later. The cost of the basic and advanced booth is calculated with the purchase of the foam and jacks from Dawbox. Foam and jack prices will vary depending on where you purchase them from.

Basic $300-$350 Includes: Painted exterior finish, internal foam, and custom microphone and headphone jacks. Does not include: window, plenum (intake/outake ventilation,) exterior carpet, metal edging.

Advanced $425-$500 Includes: internal foam, plenum (intake/outake ventilation.) Does not include: window, exterior carpet, metal edging.

Professional $650-$750- Includes:Internal Foam, window, exterior carpet, plenum (intake/outake ventilation,) metal edging, microphone and headphone jacks. These prices are based off of following the plans and purchasing your materials from Home Depot or Menards. Prices and materials may vary in different parts of the world.

Does the materials list cover where to get my supplies? All of the SKU's and prices have been updated for 2013.

How long does it take to build?: If you follow the steps in our plans once having all of the supplies needed, it can be done in a weekend. The average build time is a weekend or a few days.

I am not that experienced with construction or tools is this going to be possible? These plans are designed so that anyone with basic building skills can build our design. If you can record on a computer and navigate and operate audio software you can learn to build a vocal booth. Many clients have no prior experience and open up a whole new universe of studio D.I.Y. for themselves.

Is the booth soundproof? No booth is 100% soundproof, but this design will greatly or completely reduce all of the bothersome noises which can interfere with your recordings. You will not hear your neighbors and they will not hear you. This booth is excellent for anyone that lives near a highway, subway, or busy road.

Are there further steps to gain the maximum level of noise reduction for my booth? Yes, and these tips are included in the plans

How easy is it to take down and put back up once built? 15-20 minutes to take down and 15-20 minutes to put up.

My studio is an a small space, will it fit through my doors un-assembled? The plans are designed so that the un-assembled panels fit through any standard door size and also standard service elevator heights.

I live outside the USA are these supplies available in my country? Yes, these are all very basic and standard supplies. You will be able to find them without a problem.

Where do I get my acoustic foam for the inside?: Purchase Foam

I have a booth or closet that I use already and I only need ventilation? We also sell Ventilation System Plans.

    Loved the article on Internships. The value of the intern is tied directly to how much the company is willing to let the intern take on.

    Great job.

• No responses have been submitted.
  • No. There isnt enough information circulation.

    No, I do not see the value of Copa America 2016 as I do not know much of the context. If the news media, or general advertisement for this event, was more prominent in popular mediums for news, such as TV commercials or billboard postings, then I would have more knowledge and, in turn, investment in the soccer tournament. The specific teams, their nationalities, the bracket listings, and even the timing of the event is lost to me without these important sources.

  • No, I am not interested in soccer.

    After attempting to follow men's soccer for the past year as a writer, I am still uninterested in the sport. While it is interesting that the United States will be a host country during this tournament for the very first time in its history, it does not increase my interest in Copa América.

  • No, I take some issue with the popularity of men's sports as opposed to women's.

    In part, my lack of interest is borne from the fact that I never grew up with sports; my choice of entertainment from a young age has often been fiction, both books and television alike. Additionally, the respect provided to men's sports over women's is incredibly off-putting; that male players and male teams are valued so highly over their female counterparts speaks, to me, of cultural trends that privilege masculinity. I find it difficult to be swept up in the energy that cheers and screams and cries for male success when the fervor for female sports is met with, at best, disinterest and, at worst, something closer to scorn.

  • No, I`m not a fan.

    One thing most people don't realize is that this is only like a friendly tournament. Winning it won't give you any FIFA prestige (playing confederate cup for example) and it won't be added to Copa America winners list. It's basically, a tournament made up to celebrate 100 years and make money, of course.

Should the death penalty be given for serious crimes?

  • Not punishment, just the likeliest path to justice and avoidance of further injustice.

    If someone is guaranteed to be spending their life in a cell without chance of parole or appeal or escape, then there is theoretically no difference between the risk the criminal committing another crime with or without the death penalty. If the law changes, then parole or appeal may become a possibility for some crimes, but there are other crimes that are nigh on impossible to change (e.G. Laws against murder). However, escape remains a (very small) possibility. As such, going by expected rates of crime, having the death penalty should be the better choice (if only by a tiny fraction of a percentage point). The issue of causing "misery" would be resolved if they resorted to the simplest and most peaceful form of euthanasia - inert gas asphyxiation; the dead feel no misery. The issue of cost could be resolved by having very specific rules that determine when the death penalty applies without requiring (or allowing) the prosecution to specifically pursue the death penalty. Rather, the trial would progress naturally with the sentence being determined automatically according to specific criteria. In particular, the death penalty could be reserved for the very highest court of appeal such that legal expenses don't get inflated at all stages along the way.

  • They should die

    It costs over $70k to house every prisoner in California. If we don’t kill them they will go on bail and commit more crimes. It also saves time and lives. It saves taxpayers and there will be less crimes. Once they get out of prison they will do it again ant they won’t learn. The world would be a better place without them in it.

  • It's must be used in order to let others know.

    There are many law-breakers today. The main thing they aren't afraid is being responsible before law. Crimers think that it's easy to spend some time in jail then get ut and kill again. I don't think that the idea of contuining the birth of such people is a good one, so the death penalty must be used in order to cut crimers' existence right at them. Another argument may be presented with the fact that the death penalty is a good way of showing others what hell they are going to encounte if they act in an illegal way.

  • They done the crime, so they have to face the consequences...

    If the person can do the crime and its a crime such as murder, rape, or any of the serious crimes that can get you the death penalty, then the deserve to get what they gave others. They could have caused heart break for many people, by taking their lives, or rapping them. You get what you deserve, even if that means death...

  • Yes it should be given

    Death penalty does prevent a lot of crimes, you can realise that the murder index, for example, is way higher in countries where death penalty is not allowed, specially those with precarious education system. And yes, of course it costs less to execute somebody than imprison them for life, why should the government "pay a life" for a person that is disrespecting the principles of a country, which is its laws, and most important disrespecting all ethical standards? A state is very complex, rules have to be established and followed for a good progress, and if someone is threatening the society in general, it should be cut off. I'm talking about homicides, politics corruption, and all serious crimes that affects others, imo petty crimes like some drugs and small thefts shouldn't be treated the same way.

  • Yes, it is justice.

    Yes, the death penalty should be given for serious crimes, because it is the ultimate retribution. When society is harmed in such a great way, it is natural to think that giving the death penalty is the way for society to make up for it. When it is the government acting, there is nothing wrong with wanting those who have killed others to pay with their lives.

  • Yes, if the people want it, then the death penalty should be given.

    It really should be up to the people at the state level to decide whether or not they want the death penalty in their state. One of the beliefs of the death penalty is that it might help keep people from committing violent crimes. Some people also believe that it is healing to the families impacted by violent crimes, but this is unknown. For states that have the death penalty, there is an appeals process that can be used. If the death penalty is kept, it's important to offer those who are convicted a chance to appeal their conviction.

  • Nobody deserves to die...

    Nobody deserves to die. Even if this person killed somebody, nobody deserves to die. They can be sentenced to jail for life if they killed somebody or abused somebody and/or something. Nobody deserves to die. The saying goes "Life is not fair." WE could make life more fair. They aren't going to kill another person if they are sentenced for life or even for 10 years. NOBODY deserves to die.

  • I don't think that death penalty is needed because...

    A person who has been given a death penalty and a person who is sentenced to life imprisonment are basically in the same position. Instead people who have got life imprisonment have to live in a constant dread of the inmates. A person is tortured physically and mentally in case of life imprisonment for a long time while a person with a death sentence lives for a short period with less torture.

  • Life Sentences for Some Heinous Crimes

    Some heinous crimes and repeat offenders should be given life sentences. Serial rapists, drug traffickers and mobsters are just some of the examples of people who should be locked away for life and never see the light of day. The death penalty, if used at all, should only come into play for first degree murder cases.

  • A barbaric practice

    The death penalty is a highly outdated and barbaric practice that no civilized country should use. The idea of punishment does not solve anything and it does not deter from crime, usually caused by some severe mental illness or disability. The people who commit serious crimes should be removed from society at worst and rehabilitated at best. Killing people doesn't bring anyone back.

  • Exactly how serious?

    When it comes to the death penalty, it really depends on just how serious the crime was. If someone gets life in prison do to drugs, then no, that shouldn't be an automatic death sentence. However, if someone is convicted of child molestation and murder, then yes, I say they deserve to be put to death.

  • Death penalty is not an effective deterrence.

    According to Amnesty International, the murder rate in non-Death Penalty states has remained consistently lower than the rate in States with the Death Penalty. The threat of execution at some future date is unlikely to enter the minds of those acting under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol, those who are in the grip of fear or rage, those who are panicking while committing another crime (such as a robbery), or those who suffer from mental illness or mental retardation and do not fully understand the gravity of their crime.

  • Economics and Morality

    The death penalty is not something I agree with a a fundamentally ethical level. Punishment serves a function when it prevents future crimes from occurring, and I'm not sure that the death penalty prevents enough crimes to merit being used (as compared to life in prison without parole). Punishment for the sake of "justice" has always seem rather convoluted to me, because there is really no justification for making somebody miserable just for the sake of it (from a Utilitarian stand point). Finally, it costs society MORE to execute somebody (in the United States) than to simply imprison them for life. Since it costs more, both economically and morally, to execute somebody, I conclude that it should not be used.

Hello Greece!
Check her e-mail header (or post it here), and you will know soon enough. Run the last IP address from the last line of 'received' through a link below and see if her computer is in the same city as 'she' says she is.
Personally, she looks like a scammer to me, from what I know REAL russian girls are more respectable and don't post pics of themselves like this so easily.

Might want to read the primer for newbies also, it has many handy pieces of advice to detect scammers!
2008-12-12, 16:55:21
I hope, you are pleasantly surprised, to receive this my letter?!? I am for the first time. I was registered on this site with intentions to get serious relations with the man. If you also are interested by such relations then I will be glad to find out you better. Probably, I that girl in which searches there is you?!? Write me the letter if I have interested you, ok?. I with impatience will wait for your answer... Ekaterina from Russia. my email:

Dirk from Heerlen, Netherlands
On Merry-Cherry

Some of you might have seen spam 'I'm a lonely girl...', which usually
ends up at the Russian dating spammer uadreams dot com. The past wave,
which also had 'best' and 'dating' as URL in the spam,ends up at a 'new'
(and Google does not know about this with spam)

As usual I sign up with spamgourmet addresses there (assuming
Confirmed-Opt-In will fail with this spammer) which I create with parts
of the formerly advertised URL. So I can see where it came from.

What I not (yet) know is if merry-cherry and uadreams might be the same

Interesting always that the first mail after also signing up at
merry-cherry is that they confirm the staff has checked my profile, where
I did not add any information besides email addresses and the name 'Test
Account' and approved it.

It's all fully automated. Perfect to run joe jobs against the spammers to
get them listed. That they don't get mails out for those you really signed
up there to use (and may be pay) their 'service'.

Thanks Dirk.

Your comments about merry cherry are correct.

My profile there has also been aproved by their staff,but they had no information ,well almost none ,to check me out on.

The picture of the lady posted ,Well she has contacted me, sent me a wink and mail which I have not opened or read. It is actually a very expensive site to chat on.

Hi Dirk,
I was wondering about something that may be simple to you. It seems that when some scammers are running out of “clients” they appreciate to come here to read the news. This is fore sure. I just would like to know why they show their “presence” in such an obvious way. Just to show how arrogant they are? Or are they carrying out a nice unnoticed fight on an open field? Or … Ok there are many other or’s.
See you my friend.

Sara Mummey '04 is Executive Director of Lafayette Symphony Orchestra

June 16, 2012

"Like her first year as operations manager and assistant director with the Lafayette Symphony Orchestra, Sara Mummey’s first two months as executive director have been jam-packed," begins a story in Indiana's Lafayette Journal & Courier. Mummey, a 2004 graduate of DePauw University, "is the youngest LSO director in the symphony’s 61-year history," reports Tim Brouk. "However, she has a resume full of classical and musical theater training to go along with her organizational and leadership skills."

The newspaper notes that "at DePauw University, she graduated with a musical arts degree in choral singing. Local theater fans may recognize Mummey from Civic Theatre musical productions. In 2011, she pitched in as a musical director for Purdue Theatre’s successful LGL7205production of the The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee."

Mummey tells the publication, "We’re still in planning stages for the new season and ready to roll in September. It’s been grant writing and gaining corporate sponsors. The transition has been really smooth. It’s been great."

before and after

before & after: wall cabinet + stacked-crate bookshelf

by Kate Pruitt

I love hanging cabinets and shelving units because of their dual functionality as wall art and storage. You can tell from a mere glance that this shelf has potential, and its owner Tiffin has capitalized on the modular aspect of the piece to transform it into a cheerful, graphic display unit for her milk-glass collection. The white milk-glass looks wonderful among the bright white shelves, and the mix of prints is lovely. Great work, Tiffin! — Kate

Time: 5 hours (including drying time)

Cost: $55 (including shelf and supplies)

Basic Steps: Prep your piece by stripping or sanding any of the old finishes (I got lucky that my wood was completely void of paint or stain). Use a cloth to wipe away any excess dirt or dust after sanding. Then apply one to two coats of primer, and follow up with one to two coats of your top color. I used a semigloss for this piece to match the rest of the trim in my room.

Hang the shelf on the wall by screwing it directly into your wall studs. We used all four of the studs that the shelf hangs over just to ensure there would be no accidents! Find an assortment of fabrics that complement your room. Then measure each nook and cut out the fabric panels to fit accordingly.

To attach the panels, take a panel outside one at a time and spray the back side with super 77 spray glue. Then adhere it to the back of the shelf by starting at the corner and carefully pressing it into place along the top edge of the nook. From there, you can smooth the fabric out from top to bottom. If the fabric was cut too large, you can use an X-Acto blade to trim it down. Don’t worry if your fabric is a bit crooked or does not cover the back side completely. Once you place items on your shelf, this will be unnoticeable.

Tips: Use a mini roller to apply paint. This makes the project go much faster, plus you get more consistent paint coverage. Also, when screwing a large wooden piece on the wall, take a moment and assess how the piece was made. Often the back board is flimsy plywood, and you would not want this carrying the weight burden. In my case, the top bar of the shelf (behind the tulips) was a solid 1×4 and was a perfect place to put the screws. I found it easier to adhere the fabric panels once the shelf was already hanging, but this could be done just as easily beforehand. — Tiffin

Have a Before & After you’d like to share? Shoot me an email with your images right here! (Low res, under 500k per image, please.)

CLICK HERE to see Melissa’s stacked-crate bookshelf corner after the jump!

My book collection is a little out of control, and I’m afraid my storage needs are getting to the point where any kind of creative shelving would be out of the question. If I do weed out my books eventually, I’m tempted to create a cool shelving stack like this one by Melissa. I really appreciate that she turned some of the crates to give the piece more dimensionality and utilized its position in an awkward corner of the room. Clever work, Melissa!

Time: 5–6 hours

Cost: $70 ($50 for all the boxes, $20 for supplies)

Basic Steps: I wanted the boxes to blend in with the wall somewhat and not stand out as raw wood, so I purchased an off-white color (“vanilla”) and watered it down for a white-wash effect. Then I picked out a mossy green for the inside bottom of the box as contrast. Remember that the wine boxes are not finished wood, so some of the paint will be absorbed. For indoor use, it doesn’t necessarily need a finish, but it definitely would for anything outdoor.

I played with stacking them up the wall to get the look I wanted then drilled holes in the back of the boxes so I could anchor them into the wall. Being in an apartment and in a weirdly shaped corner, studs were lacking, so I used wall anchors and screwed the boxes into those. I wanted my base box to be off the floor, so I sawed 4″ sections from the stump of my old Christmas tree and screwed those into the bottom box for feet. A good friend made the bottom box for me out of plywood since I wanted it larger than the rest and wide/deep enough to fit my larger books.

Lay your boxes out (by stacking the boxes) up the wall in different arrangements until you get it the way you want it. And if you can afford to get extra boxes of various sizes, it gives you some more options; you can use the extra boxes for a multitude of other projects anyway! — Melissa

State lawmakers chasing solution for school funds

March 24, 2005

The faster April 12 approaches, the more dubious De Soto school proponents become that Kansas legislators will pass a school finance plan.

"I don't see them making a lot of progress," said Board of Education member and legislative liaison Sandy Thierer. "And it's almost April."

After deeming the state's school funding amount unconstitutional, the Kansas Supreme Court gave legislators until April 12 to devise a plan that would adequately fund a suitable education.

In February, the Senate wrote and passed a plan, and the House wrote and passed a plan. But Thierer and others say politics are blocking the entities from working together and that the plans aren't sufficient anyway.

"Neither one of them, we think, is going to meet the muster of what the Supreme Court has in mind," said Superintendent Sharon Zoellner.

Thierer, who described the predicament as "depressing," said legislators seemed to agree that something must be done, yet none were willing to make a big move.

Neither of the plans include enough dollars for a long-term solution, she said.

"All of the budget information indicates there'll be no money to carry forward for this," Thierer said. "And in four years we'll be back in the hole."

Thierer and district operations director Jack Deyoe gleaned some of their glum outlook from a Kansas Association of School Boards government relations seminar they attended last month in Topeka.

Thierer said she and Deyoe touched base with De Soto's and other legislators and found they agreed more than usual with Sen. Kay O'Connor, R-Olathe, a voucher proponent and private school teacher who has often clashed with district officials.

"Out of all the people we talked to that day, she was making the most sense," Thierer said. "She actually had a thought-out plan."

Even though O'Connor is not on any of the Legislature's education committees, she has given the situation considerable thought.

O'Connor said she thought the state should work from the definition of an "essential" education, not a "suitable" one. The term "suitable" is subjective, she said, using the example that while a swimming pool would indeed be suitable for a school, it may not be essential.

The state should poll districts to determine how much it costs to provide an essential education, then fund it 100 percent, she said.

"The definition of essential education would, of course, have to include everything required by No Child Left Behind legislation," O'Connor said. "Anything that's outside of that essential curriculum, that's what the Legislature should be debating."

O'Connor said she believed there was more to education than just books.

But she said essential -- not suitable -- should define those needs, too. While art education is essential, there are ways to provide that without purchasing a state-of-the-art kiln when money is tight, she said.

"Music, art and sports are essential; there's no question about their essentialness," O'Connor said. "The question is, 'How much is enough?'"

O'Connor said she also supported lifting the 25 percent ceiling on local funds, but only with a district's taxpayer vote.

Thierer said she thought a "big schools versus small schools" attitude was hampering legislators' ability to agree on a plan. They all said they wanted a fix that's best for everyone, she said, yet legislators couldn't seem to get past their own districts' narrow interests.

Thierer said some representatives seemed less-than-knowledgeable about areas far from their own homes, which put De Soto's interests at a disadvantage.

"They equate Johnson County and Shawnee Mission," Thierer said. "They don't know there's three small school districts in Johnson County."

The House school finance plan is Bill No. 2474; the Senate's is Bill No. 246. Read and track bills on the Kansas Legislature Web site, accessible through

31 Songs Of Halloween: The Sonics: The Witch

The Witch was The Sonics’ first ever single, released in 1964, also included in their debut album, Here Are The Sonics, a few months later.

One of the prototype bands for garage rock, The Sonics were from Tacoma, Washington, and their original tenure didn’t last longer than 1969, but even with only few albums and singles behind them, their legacy is unquestionable.

System-wide keyboard Hook

I want to trap the special keys of Windows NT: Alt+Tab, Ctl+Alt+Del. In the first 10 minutes, I set a kbd hook and took a look at what were the keys I received. But the handling for these special keys takes place before even a WM_KEYDOWN is generated. So what must I do to trap the spl keys? Do I need to install a custom-built keyboard driver? Or is there some 10-minute workaround I am missing? Thanks and keep up the good work, Shriram

I have bad news for you. You CANNOT trap Ctrl-Alt-Del on NT—no way, no time, no how. This is at the core of the NT security system, and there is no combination of API calls that will allow you to trap this. You could write a new security provider (NT allows this, so vendors can use things like smart cards and fingerprints to logon), but that is a totally nontrivial task. You can, however, trap Alt-Tab with a keyboard hook. If you are working with VB, you can use SpyWorks from Desaware to trap messages like Ctrl-Esc, Alt-Tab, and Alt-Esc. (It even comes with an example program that disables all three of the key combinations above.) If you are working with C++, see the section in MSDN on SysMsgProc.

Weight Loss: The Basics

Let’s get back to basics with how we eat and exercise. One truth remains in the battle of weight loss: you must eat and drink fewer calories than your body burns off.

No matter what path you choose, make sure you use a safe weight loss plan that will support your ultimate health goals. Losing weight too quickly is not good for you. Aim to lose ½ to 2 pounds per week. This means you would need to cut out 250-1,000 calories from what you would normally eat in a day.

There are many ways to tackle improving your health. But there are no miracle pills – you need to make permanent changes to your lifestyle if you want to lose weight safely and keep it off. It doesn’t happen overnight; losing weight gradually over time is the best and healthiest way to go.

Different strategies work for different people, so you may have to try a few different approaches or a combination of techniques to be successful.

2015 Chevrolet Impala Specifications, Pictures, Mpg Ratings

Saturday, November 29th 2014. | Chevrolet

The 2015 Chevrolet Impala has got a new year of rejuvenation. The car will be remodeled to compete with luxurious sedans from other companies. As you may know, this is the first of the company’s flagships with the word “Impala” written all over it. The stylish name translates well to its stylish design. We feel that the company has put serious effort into shaping up the outer frame of the car. Not only does it look adorable and elegant, but also very fancy.

2015 Chevrolet Impala 2

2015 Chevrolet Impala performance

The 4-door sedan will make you enjoy the ride. It is very fitting for today’s modern life. You can buy one for daily commuting or another purpose. There are some standard features that the company offer through the new generation, including auto start / stop technology. This addition is accountable for its new better mpg ratings. We believe that you want a car that is not only dependable on the road, but also pocket-friendly. Speaking of the platform, it shares it with the Cadillac XTS. The result is a car with an athletic body and reliable performance.

2014 Chevy Impala

2015 Chevrolet Impala engine

We personally think that comfort is major on the new series. It’s significantly improved. Handling feels much more comfortable, which is not surprising considering how great the overall effort is. Are you interested in the engine lineup? The base engine is a 3.6L V6 engine. This spec can deliver 305 horsepower. It reaches a top speed of 60 mph in only 6.8 second. There are some major tweaks that contribute to the upgrade of performance, such as Direct Injection and Variable Valve Timing. As we’ve addressed before, fuel efficiency is a big change that the company can rightfully boast.

2015 Chevrolet Impala 4

2015 Chevrolet Impala mpg ratings

The fuel consumption is rated at 7.5 L / 100 km highway. There is a new feature that helps the car even maximize its efficiency potential. The new system works by turning the engine off when the car is not moving. As a result, the engine will not burn fuel when the car is in full-stop mode. As the driver releases the brake, the car will get back to its normal mode and the engine will start working. The transition happens so smoothly that you may not realize it. The car was made to conquer the roads. It has everything that accentuates its street cred, such as jewel-like chrome highlights, sharp contours, and nice flowing lines.

2015 Chevrolet Impala

All these exterior features make the new car sportier and aggressive. There are projector-beam headlamps and many other additions. The curves are well-executed, props for the technicians for doing such a terrific job. Every part of the exterior is deliberately sculpted. Thus, it helps take the aerodynamics to the next level. The interior is worked on very well, too. You can see it from the placement of the instrument panel and any other thing. That’s like the work of an artisan. You may also be spellbound by the meticulous interior. It not only has wood inside, but also chrome accents to highlight its elegant look. The interior is rich in features. Heated seats come as a standard, rightfully so. There is a diagonal touch-screen display, lockable compartment, etc.

article imageInvestors dump euro, buy dollars

By Daniel Lick     Dec 9, 2011 in Business
The euro is falling fast as European leaders desperately try to find a solution to their debt problems, causing a move to U.S. dollars.
In a news report delivered yesterday, European Central Bank Mario Draghi reported that there would be no buying of bonds to support failing European countries.
This announcement initiated strong buying of U.S. dollars on Forex markets which continued all day.
Europe banks need to raise 114.7 billion euros to deal with the area's debt crisis but hopes that the money could be raised by bond sales were dashed.
In remarks to the press, Draghi said that there wassubstantial downside risks to the economic outlook for the euro area
According to Draghi, it was against the IMF's rules to purchase bonds.
The European Central Bank, however, did lower interest rates and reserve requirements.
In emergency meetings, European leaders agreed Friday to change the rules that kept them from buying bonds, but the UK refused to go along with this and opted out, signaling a split between England and the other countries of the EU.
The euro continues to slide in turbulent trading.

article imageMan hits $1 million jackpot six times

By Owen Weldon     May 11, 2012 in World
A very lucky guy in Arizona ended up hitting one-million dollars six times. The man won the cash in a multistate lottery game.
A spokeswoman for the Arizona lottery said that the Glendale man won the lottery after he picked up six Powerball tickets all with the same numbers back in April.
According to Fox, the lotto tickets were good for second-place prizes. Half a dozen to be exact. The man, unidentified, went to collect his $6 million prizes at the Arizona Lottery's headquarters in Phoenix. He had to make several trips to pick up the money.
According to the DailyMail, the executive director of the Arizona Lottery, Jeff Hatch Miller, confirmed that the man did win the $6 million. Miller said that it is very rare that such an occurrence happens but it does happen.
According to GlobalPost, the owner of the place where the man bought the tickets also received money. The man ended up getting $30,000 in prize money.
Arizona has seen quite a few winners of the Powerball $1 million second prize this year. Also, back in April more than 50 people in Arizona ended up winning at least $10,000, including a man who ended up winning over $6 million.

Tomorrow People axe defended by The CW president

Mark Pedowitz explains why Beauty and the Beast was renewed instead.

The CW president Mark Pedowitz has defended the decision to axe The Tomorrow People.

Pedowitz - speaking as the network unveiled its 2014-15 schedule - insisted there was an "upside" to renewing the low-rated Beauty and the Beast instead.

"We're a very different style of broadcast network," he said. "We have situations where shows like Beauty have created upside potential - it's a fan favourite.

"Primarily, Tomorrow People was a great show - it just didn't have the same level of social engagement... that Beauty and the Beast gets."

The Tomorrow People - loosely based on the '70s series from the UK - was axed by The CW last week.

Prior to its cancellation, the show's star Robbie Amell suggested that it had a good shot at renewal due to its "established fan base" and international appeal.

Pieterse says that she is "very excited" by the season three plot.

Pretty Little Liars star Sasha Pieterse has said that season three will contain a "crazy" twist involving her character Alison.

The actress said that she is "excited" to see how fans react to the new development, which will apparently unravel in early episodes.

"It's really fun stuff, I'm very excited," she told TV Guide of the plot. "Alison likes to manipulate everyone.

"There's something the fans don't know about a certain situation that ties back to Allison, and the way it all ties together is kind of crazy."

Police force claims improvements after four inquiries in three years

newslatestThe police watchdog has refused to say whether it is concerned about a force which has been criticised four times in just three years over its policies and procedures on disability.

Last week, the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) detailed how a disabled man died following a series of epileptic seizures while held in custody.

Billy Salton had two seizures at Cheadle Heath custody suite, where he was held for 33 hours. After a third seizure in a magistrates’ court cell, the 19-year-old was finally taken to hospital, where he died three days later, on 9 July 2012.

The IPCC found there had been a “sloppy” approach to his care, that neither of the seizures at Cheadle Heath had been spotted by custody staff – even though the cell was covered by CCTV – and that there had been confusion and delay in bringing Salton his epilepsy medication.

But the watchdog concluded that there was insufficient evidence to suggest that any individual officer or member of police staff had breached their professional standards.

It was the fourth time in three years that IPCC has criticised Greater Manchester Police (GMP) over its treatment of disabled people, but the watchdog declined to comment this week on the string of cases.

In March 2011, GMP was heavily criticised by IPCC after failing to treat a disabled man’s “years of torment” at the hands of local youths as disability hate crime.

David Askew, who had learning difficulties, collapsed and died in March 2010 soon after police received reports that youths had again been harassing him outside his home.

IPCC found that between 2004 and 2010, Askew and his family reported 88 incidents of targeted harassment and hostility, threats and abuse.

Two months later, IPCC questioned tactics used by GMP officers who had been present when a 50,000-volt Taser was used on a man who had just had an epileptic seizure.

The IPCC concluded that – although there were no police guidelines that prevented the use of a Taser against someone who has had a seizure – “giving commands and attempting compliance through pain to a person who was already known to be unresponsive” were “questionable” police tactics.

And in November 2011, the force was criticised by the IPCC for ignoring two phone calls expressing serious concerns about the health of a disabled man, who was later found dead.

Greater Manchester Police insisted this week that it had “worked really hard to improve the way in which it supports and meets the needs of disabled people”.

Clare Light, GMP’s head of neighbourhoods and equality, said: “There has been significant learning generated from some of the high-profile incidents in Greater Manchester Police and other areas, and this has fed into the on-going work being done by our equality team to work with [disability]organisations and improve the way the force responds to the needs of disabled people when reporting incidents or coming into contact with us.”

She said that every GMP officer who responds to a report of a crime now has to have undergone two training packages on how to engage with diverse communities.

Light said the force now works with the Crown Prosecution Service to ensure that disability is taken into account throughout a court case and can be used as an aggravating factor by judges when sentencing, while disability hate crime “remains a priority”.

GMP holds events designed to help disabled people understand how to report disability hate crime, and has worked with partners to develop hate crime reporting centres and to design information in easy-read format for people with learning difficulties.

She added: “Custody is another area where we have made significant changes. These include a new risk assessment and a computerised system that enables custody officers and medical professionals to better share information between themselves.”

Light said the force was engaged in a “continuous process of change and improvement”, but was “by no means complacent”.

Reviewer : ktasay
Ave Rating : 3.0000 for 76 reviews
Title : Deep Domain Rating : 3
Writers : Howard Weinstein Year : 1987
Review : Decent story, but plot was thin. I could pretty much guess what was going to happen throughout. Just why the main race (Akkalla) was listed as a UFP Member remained a big question as they hadn't even managed to reach the technology level of basic spaceflight. But dealing with saving an ecology gives it a boost in my list, so 3 out of 5.
Title : Demons Rating : 4
Writers : J.M. Dillard Year : 1986
Review : Good characterizations, decent plot.
Title : Rules of Engagement Rating : 4
Writers : Peter Morwood Year : 1990
Review : Another 'Klingon wanting revenge against Kirk' plot. Better than many, but not up to Kahn's level.
Title : Star Trek Concordance Rating : 5
Writers : Bjo Trimble Year : 1976
Review : One of the best reference books for the early years of Star Trek!
Title : Black Fire Rating : 4
Writers : Sonni Cooper Year : 1983
Review : Nice read. Perhaps the Alternate Universe Spock leaked through on this one?
Title : Crisis on Centaurus Rating : 4
Writers : Brad Ferguson Year : 1986
Review : Nice insight on a rarely-used Federation Member world. Some great use of technology also - antimatter as a terrorist weapon.
Title : Star Trek Star Charts: The Complete Atlas of Star Trek Rating : 5
Writers : Geoffrey Mandel Year : 2002
Review : Excellent reference! Although not perfect in placement of some stars, it is without doubt the best to date. Planet classes and galactic coordinate descriptions alone make it a good resource to have.
Title : Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan Rating : 4
Writers : Vonda N. McIntyre Year : 1982
Review : Excellent adaptation of the movie. Follows very accurately with numerous character-specific insights on the side.
Title : Star Trek: The Motion Picture Rating : 5
Writers : Gene Roddenberry Year : 1979
Review : As it was written by Gene it follows the movie very well! As with all books however it adds an extra layer of detail that could not be portrayed on film - descriptions of V'Ger for example.
Title : The Computers of Star Trek Rating : 4
Writers : Lois Gresh, Robert Weinberg Year : 1999
Review : Very technical, but still written in a way that most can comprehend it.
Title : The Prometheus Design Rating : 0
Writers : Myrna Culbreath, Sondra Marshak Year : 1982
Review : Yes it is dark, but I panned it for reasons of characterization. It has Vulcans acting emotionally - even if it is supposedly under alien influence. All-knowing, and all-powerful extra-galactic aliens treating everyone else as experimental animals. In short, read a book about Q - it's far more entertaining.
Title : Timetrap Rating : 3
Writers : David Dvorkin Year : 1988
Review : Decent book if you like temporal themes.
Title : The Klingon Gambit Rating : 2
Writers : Robert E. Vardeman Year : 1981
Review : Overall a bit predictable, but a decent plot. In a rather unique twist Kirk figures out the problem facing the Enterprise before Spock.
Title : The Covenant of the Crown Rating : 3
Writers : Howard Weinstein Year : 1981
Review : Very nice book. No real space battles or serious fighting for a change, just a nice plot about returning a planet's royalty to end a civil war.
Title : The Rift Rating : 4
Writers : Peter David Year : 1991
Review : Rather humerous in parts, very nice surprise at the end.
Title : Yesterday's Son Rating : 4
Writers : A.C. Crispin Year : 1983
Review : A decent book overall. Spock and Kirk use the Guardian of Forever to recover Spock's newly discovered, long-lost son. Troubles come about as he tries to fit in with the crew, and with a flawed ideal of what his father was like.
Title : The Wounded Sky Rating : 1
Writers : Diane Duane Year : 1983
Review : Normally I like The Duane novels, but this one was terrible. Characterizations weren't bad overall - other than adding a large number of new alien UFP races which only added to the confusing plot. The story itself was very technical and hard to follow with numerous "dream-like" sequences, ending in an inane climax.
Title : Mutiny on the Enterprise Rating : 1
Writers : Robert E. Vardeman Year : 1983
Review : Poor characterization, weak plot. Give this one a miss.
Title : Web of the Romulans Rating : 4
Writers : M.S. Murdock Year : 1983
Review : A good read. Characterizations are fairly accurate, plot is decent. Gives some good insight to the Romulan Empire.
Title : Triangle Rating : 0
Writers : Myrna Culbreath, Sondra Marshak Year : 1983
Review : One of the worst Trek books I've ever had the misfortune to read. A sappy soap opera or romance novel in Trek format. If you like Romance novels you may like it, but otherwise skip this one.
Title : The Abode of Life Rating : 5
Writers : Lee Correy Year : 1982
Review : Excellent book! No major battles, but a super example of First Contact.
Title : The Entropy Effect Rating : 3
Writers : Vonda N. McIntyre Year : 1981
Review : Yet again the Enterprise saves the Universe from distructin. Plot holds interest better than many others of similar nature, characterizations are good, not too technical.
Title : The Trellisane Confrontation Rating : 3
Writers : David Dvorkin Year : 1984
Review : Kirk doesn't save the day single-handedly for a change! This book has two loosely related plots: the primary one with the Klingons trying to start a war between neighboring planets, and the other where the Enterprise is taken over by criminals. Characterizations are pretty true to form, a few issues on the 'technical' side, but overall a good read.
Title : The Final Reflection Rating : 5
Writers : John M. Ford Year : 1984
Review : Excellent book. Of of the best I've read so far. Sheds new insights on the Klingons giving an early indication to the alliance that would occur by the TNG era.
Title : Mindshadow Rating : 3
Writers : J.M. Dillard Year : 1986
Review : Overall not bad. Yet another Romulan Plot to take over a planet, Spock finds out the answer, but is injured before he can reveal the truth. He must then recover his memory to save the planet before the Romulans finish.
Title : Uhura's Song Rating : 4
Writers : Janet Kagan Year : 1985
Review : Very nice story. A peaceful species is being threatened, Uhura and a noted Federation musician use music to communicate with them.
Title : Uhura's Song Rating : 4
Writers : Janet Kagan Year : 1985
Review : Wrong review above... An alien race is dying from an unknown disease, and it threatens to spread to others in the UFP! Uhura must use clues from a friend's music to find the cure.
Title : The Vulcan Academy Murders Rating : 3
Writers : Jean Lorrah Year : 1984
Review : A tale of jealousy and murder - on Vulcan?! Nice plot, but a bit transparent.
Title : Corona Rating : 2
Writers : Greg Bear Year : 1984
Review : Alien takeover... rather dark, but overall not too bad.
Title : Ishmael Rating : 4
Writers : Barbara Hambly Year : 1985
Review : Very decent story. Spock, with amnesia; is trapped in Earth's past and must foil a Klingon plot.
Title : The Entropy Effect Rating : 3
Writers : Vonda McIntyre Year : 2006
Review : (re-print of the original book) Yet again the Enterprise saves the Universe from distruction. Plot holds interest better than many others of similar nature, characterizations are good, not too technical.
Title : Killing Time Rating : 2
Writers : Della Van Hise Year : 1985
Review : Romulan plot involving time travel. Spock is now Captain, and Kirk is a mere Ensign. Overall not bad, if a bit predictable at times.
Title : Dwellers in the Crucible Rating : 4
Writers : Margaret Wander Bonanno Year : 1985
Review : Yet another Romulan plot to cause political dissent within the Federation. Decent characterization, interesting story, overall pretty good read.
Title : Star Trek III: The Search for Spock Rating : 3
Writers : Vonda N. McIntyre Year : 1984
Review : Follows the movie fairly well, and adds in a few interesting details about Savvik.
Title : Rihannsu Book 1 : My Enemy, My Ally Rating : 5
Writers : Diane Duane Year : 1984
Review : Excellent book. Romulans working together with the Federation to prevent war for a change. Very good characterizations!
Title : The Tears of the Singers Rating : 4
Writers : Melinda Snodgrass Year : 1984
Review : Excellent book. Uhura uses music to save an intelligent species.
Title : Shadow Lord Rating : 4
Writers : Laurence Yep Year : 1985
Review : Good book! Somewhat primitive culture struggling to improve, but factions start a civil war to prevent it. Fairly accurate characterizations.
Title : Pawns and Symbols Rating : 4
Writers : Majliss Larson Year : 1985
Review : Decent story around the Klingon Empire. Some elements don't quite fit with other established Klingon histories, but taken on it's own (perhaps as an alternate history) it is a pretty good read.
Title : Dreadnought! Rating : 4
Writers : Diane Carey Year : 1986
Review : Very good story from the first person perspective of a Command trainee thrust into the middle of a coup. In many ways her tale parallels characters on the Enterprise which made this tale even more interesting.
Title : Battlestations! Rating : 2
Writers : Diane Carey Year : 1986
Review : A half-effective continuation of "Dreadnought". The plot itself is truly implausible, but the characterizations of the characters was done fairly well (even if they would fail a Mary Sue litmus test).
Title : Chain of Attack Rating : 2
Writers : Gene DeWeese Year : 1987
Review : The Enterprise gets transported by an unexplained 'gate' to a completely different galaxy (or part of our galaxy - it isn't really clear), where they help stop a centuries-old war. But then the warring parties turn on the Enterprise. Not too bad of a story, but it had very weak points when dealing with basic astrophysics and Treknology.
Title : Dreams of the Raven Rating : 1
Writers : Carmen Carter Year : 1987
Review : Just how much damage can a ship take and still remain spaceworthy? Even Scotty's remarkable skills are taxed beyond limits in this book. There is also a serious technical fault in having the ship limp back to base at impulse (a trip which took a few hours at warp took only over a week by impulse??!!?? Does the author even know how fast Warp Speed is?) All in all, barring the technical errors the plot was OK.
Title : Rihannsu Book 2 : The Romulan Way Rating : 3
Writers : Diane Duane, Peter Morwood Year : 1987
Review : One part history of the Romulan/Vulcan schism, and the other a decent story involving McCoy as a prisoner on Romulus. The McCoy plot is a bit thin with several weak areas, and the History has a lot of depth. Overall it was a very good read.
Title : How Much for Just the Planet? Rating : 1
Writers : John M. Ford Year : 1987
Review : A rather weak attempt at Trek humor. Very poor characterizations.
Title : Bloodthirst Rating : 1
Writers : J.M. Dillard Year : 1987
Review : A poor attempt at a vampire thriller using Trek for it's setting. Characterizations were not very good, and the plot contained a lot of very weak sections.
Title : The IDIC Epidemic Rating : 2
Writers : Jean Lorrah Year : 1988
Review : Better than some, but worse than others. Some characterizations were off, as were some elements of 'treknology'. The concept for the book was ok, but it was carried off rather thin; there are several plot holes and inconsistencies.
Title : Vulcan's Glory Rating : 3
Writers : D.C. Fontana Year : 1989
Review : Murder/mystery involving Spock's first assignment on the Enterprise. A few nice surprises, and sideline with a young (and talented) Lt. Scott getting into trouble. Decent story. There were a few items that didn't quite fit too well (including the antagonist's history), but overall it held my interest.
Title : The Final Nexus Rating : 4
Writers : Gene DeWeese Year : 1988
Review : A follow-up to "Chain of Attack" (TOS 32), has the same anomaly spreading across explored space. The Enterprise must re-enter the 'nexus' and find a way to stop it. This story is a vast improvement from "Chain of Attack". Overall a good tale which held my interest.
Title : Double, Double Rating : 3
Writers : Michael Jan Friedman Year : 1989
Review : A continuation of the TOS episode "What Are Little Girls Made Of", another android double of Kirk is created and takes command of the Enterprise after tricking the real Kirk. Overall not a bad book. A few inconsistencies with canon, but well within reasonable bounds. Characterizations are quite well done.
Title : The Cry of the Onlies Rating : 4
Writers : Judy Klass Year : 1989
Review : Combines two TOS episodes in a new story which could have stood on it's own, albeit rather short. The Diplomatic Mission to Boaco Six is disrupted by a stolen Starfleet prototype vessel. The 'thieves' are two of the 'Onlies' from "Miri". The Enterprise is sent to pick up Flint from "Requiem for Methusela" who helped design part of the vessel. All in all an excellent continuation of the two epsiodes. Characterization was very good for the most part, and treknology is not over-used.
Title : Doctor's Orders Rating : 3
Writers : Diane Duane Year : 1990
Review : Just the thought of "Captain Bones" brings a smirk, and there were several nice comic moments in the story, in particular when dealing with the Klingon Captain. One of the key elements of the story proved to be a major sticking point for me however. When Spock returned and McCoy tried to turn command over to him, Spock indicated that it was not possible since Kirk left him in command, only Kirk could therefore 'relieve' him of that command. Leaving a non-command officer as Captain in an emergency only endangers the ship and crew. While overall the story was decent, that one point kept nagging at me.
Title : Ghost Walker Rating : 3
Writers : Barbara Hambly Year : 1991
Review : For a Trek mystery story it was a fairly decent story. The start of the book was a bit slow, but by mid-way it picked up and held my interest very well. From a technical standpoint, the descriptions of several locations on the Enterprise as well as layout could have been much better. One of the devices which became 'key' to part of the plot was somewhat unbelievable - not that it existed, but that such a small device could cover such a vast area of the ship. Depictions of the main characters was very well done, nothing seriously out of character. All in all, I'd say this one one of the better Trek mysteries.
Title : A Flag Full of Stars Rating : 4
Writers : Brad Ferguson Year : 1991
Review : This book had several 'inspirational' moments; the 1701's 'saucer' lifting off into orbit and docking with the engineering hull, the 1970's era Space Shuttle Enterprise finally reaching space, and a several moving passages about the 1969 moon landing. All of those serve to raise an otherwise drab story into something worth reading. The 'main' story however is full of eyebrow raising elements. I can willingly suspend my disbelief on a Klingon living as an immigrant in New York - and ...more This book had several 'inspirational' moments; the 1701's 'saucer' lifting off into orbit and docking with the engineering hull, the 1970's era Space Shuttle Enterprise finally reaching space, and a several moving passages about the 1969 moon landing. All of those serve to raise an otherwise drab story into something worth reading. The 'main' story however is full of eyebrow raising elements. I can willingly suspend my disbelief on a Klingon living as an immigrant in New York - and people's reaction to him. However his "invention", which has only a fragmentary description of what it actually does is the weakest element of the whole tale - and unfortunately it's a key element for that plot to work. It is the only part of this story which prevents it from being a perfect 5 in my opinion
Title : Death Count Rating : 0
Writers : L.A. Graf Year : 1992
Review : There was so many things wrong with this book it's hard to know where to start. The primary problem was the whole Andorian vs Orion plot - which was the basis for the book itself. To believe the plot could work means you would have to believe that the Andorians aren't part of the Federation! Another major point is the amount of damage the Enterprise (and Chekov) takes, yet both still continued to perform amazing feats (Chekov in particular...). All in all, I can't say this was the worst Trek book I've read, but it's certainly in the bottom 5.
Title : Sanctuary Rating : 2
Writers : John Vornholt Year : 1992
Review : Spock, McCoy and Kirk get stranded on a planet - again. Their alien captors do provide a somewhat creepy protagonist, and there were several parts of the story which I enjoyed - but overall for me there were more 'nit-picky' elements that detracted from the story.
Title : Firestorm Rating : 2
Writers : L.A. Graf Year : 1994
Review : The Elasians return! Not one of my favorite Trek aliens to start with, but at least the author portrayed their egotism very well - bonus points for that. Just how Chekov could survive all the injuries he received is certainly not believable though - negative points.
Title : Invasion! 1 : First Strike Rating : 2
Writers : Diane Carey Year : 1996
Review : Starts somewhat confusing, but builds some atmosphere. The change in venue to the "ground war" was rather pointless; meant only to highlight the Klingon General character's status, but giving Spock the critical injury was a meaningless sub-plot. The saving grace of the book is in the descriptions of the alien creatures and their ship. Characterizations were fairly good, but "Treknology" was rather mediocre.
Title : The Joy Machine Rating : 2
Writers : James Gunn Year : 1996
Review : This book has elements pulled from several other Trek stories recombined into a new one. That of course has been done on other occasions - and done better in some cases. The question the book tries to make is if people deserve to have everything they want most? This was also questioned in TOS: "The Menagerie", "Shore Leave", "This Side of Paradise", "Who Mourns for Adonais", and likely others. Computers controlling a civilization has also featured in many episodes, most notably "Return of the Archons" and "For The World Is Hollow, And I Have Touched The Sky". It should be noted that the outline of this story was intended to be a televised episode, and it would have been better in that venue or as a short story instead of a full novel.
Title : Mudd in Your Eye Rating : 2
Writers : Jerry Oltion Year : 1997
Review : Yet another computer-run civilization. At least this time it wasn't Kirk that broke the Prime Directive to put it back in what the rest of the universe would consider "normal". Characterizations were somewhat flat, and the plot dragged on in places, but overall it was far better than some other Trek books.
Title : Mind Meld Rating : 3
Writers : John Vornholt Year : 1997
Review : A decent read overall. Would have been better if the Vulcan mating ceremony had been included, and a bit more of the side-plot with the Romulans (unless that was intended to be covered in a future separate book...), but it's something I'd read again.
Title : Heart of the Sun Rating : 2
Writers : George Zebrowski, Pamela Sargent Year : 1997
Review : The plot had some potential, but IMHO the author fumbled the ball. An isolationist colony + an unknown alien technology = Instant conflict! The Enterprise just happens to be there on a separate (but very derived) reason when the alien is discovered and investigates. Unfortunately that's where the implausible alien technology is introduced, and things begin to break down. Either the author forgot a few things, or he wanted the readers to conveniently forget certain elements. At one point sensors can't scan within an alien craft, then they can; communications don't work, then they do... Still a decent overall book, but could have been much better.
Title : Assignment: Eternity Rating : 2
Writers : Greg Cox Year : 1998
Review : While it was nice to have another book about Gary Seven and Roberta, the overall premise of the book was too implausible. I never could believe that his 'advanced alien technology' would allow him to have contact with beings in other times, let alone time-travel! It would (and nearly did) destroy everything the aliens (I.E. Aegis) had tried to create by having people like Seven.
Title : My Brother's Keeper: Book 1: Republic Rating : 4
Writers : Michael Jan Friedman Year : 1999
Review : Nice flashback story. Much better 'Cadet Kirk' history than some other books, though some plot elements were a bit weak it still stands up well.
Title : My Brother's Keeper: Book 2: Constitution Rating : 2
Writers : Michael Jan Friedman Year : 1999
Review : Overall a decent sequel to the first book. However it was quite a stretch of the imagination to believe that the Constitution's Captain would put a new 2nd officer in temporary command. As for the plot itself (a variation on the colony-in-distress scenario), a bit overdone and Kirk's frequent reliance on boarding parties was very tedious by the end.
Title : My Brother's Keeper: Book 3: Enterprise Rating : 3
Writers : Michael Jan Friedman Year : 1999
Review : Good ending to the trilogy. Plausibly explains how the main crew members came together, and could even serve to reveal how Klingons came to have 'bumpy heads'! There were of course some elements that were quite a stretch of the imagination, but overall it worked.
Title : New Earth: Belle Terre Rating : 3
Writers : Dean Wesley Smith, Diane Carrey Year : 2000
Review : The overall plot was a bit weak, and I found it somewhat unbelievable that Spock couldn't come up with a way to get the second moon on a path that didn't rely every ship to follow and adjust it's course every few minutes. Characterization was well done and followed nicely with the first book. Overall a good follow-up to Wagon Train to the Stars.
Title : New Earth: Rough Trails Rating : 2
Writers : L.A. Graf Year : 2000
Review : If this book was an independent story it would be decent, but as a 3rd book in the New Earth series, it was mediocre at best. The plot contradicts many elements established by book 2 (Belle Terre), which indicates the author was given only a rough outline of the previous book to use when writing.
Title : New Earth: Wagon Train to the Stars Rating : 4
Writers : Diane Carey Year : 2000
Review : Very nice story. Shows the difficulty involved with leading a convoy composed of random ships of all sizes and functions on a very long journey. OF course there is the typical dangers of internal strife among the crew, and encounters with a new enemy who doesn't want the settlers to reach their destination.
Title : New Earth: The Flaming Arrow Rating : 2
Writers : Jerry Oltion, Kathy Oltion Year : 2000
Review : What started out as a decent plot was fatally let down by mistakes by the authors. Characterizations were mediocre, and the 'treknology' was feeble - the Oltion's obviously didn't feel the need to look up even the basics of stellar distances. As a stand-alone novel this would score much higher, but as part of the New Earth series it falls flat.
Title : New Earth: Thin Air Rating : 3
Writers : Dean Wesley Smith, Kristine Kathryn Rusch Year : 2000
Review : A vast improvement on books 3 and 4 in the series! Characterizations were pretty good for the most part, and even the treknology which was the downfall of the previous two books was done well.
Title : New Earth: Challenger Rating : 4
Writers : Diane Carey Year : 2000
Review : Characterizations were well done, and although the concept of building a ship out of scrap left over from tens of non-compatible ships is a bit far-fetched, by the end I was believing it. Would have been nice if they could have found the 'missing ship' from book 2, but otherwise a decent ending to the series.
Title : Rihannsu Book 3 : Swordhunt Rating : 2
Writers : Diane Duane Year : 2000
Review : Being the third book in the Rihannsu series it does follow the previous two, however unlike the others this one can't stand on it's own - the whole book is just building toward a climax that is 'to be continued'. Without the next book(s) in the series this one is just an unfinished story.
Title : Rihannsu Book 4 : Honor Blade Rating : 2
Writers : Diane Duane Year : 2000
Review : For the fourth in the series it was much like the third! Continuation of the buildup to a climax that has yet to be finished. There are a few minor battles, but otherwise (as with book 3) it's an unfinished story.
Title : Probe Rating : 3
Writers : Margaret wander Bonanno Year : 1992
Review : Decent story, but it requires a little stretch of the imagination to believe that the Borg existed over 300 thousand years before first encountering the Federation. Otherwise a nice continuation of "Voyage Home".
Title : Star Trek: Nemesis Rating : 3
Writers : J.M. Dillard Year : 2002
Review : As with all books based on movies this one follows the plot very well, however unlike some of the others it doesn't provide much additional material, (insight on what characters may be thinking, background information, descriptions of setting, etc...). For that lack it drops the score to merely average.
Title : Rihannsu Book 5 : The Empty Chair Rating : 5
Writers : Diane Duane Year : 2006
Review : A very long read, but worth it! After the series lagged a bit with the middle books, it returned to a good story for the end.
