Some times I think data and Michael Myers (the Captain Kirk mask) look alike
OK finished season 4 of Enterprise and have to say it was the best season of the series. My only complaint would be that they had alot of 2 and 3 part episodes (which means less stories) well here is my review -
Episode 1 "Storm Front part 1" & Episode 2 "Storm Front part 2" - Well season 3 ends with a pretty good season cliff hanger. This 2 part has Enterprise returning home from Xindi space after defeating the Reptilians only to find themselves back in Time. The year is 1944 and the Nazi's are winning the War and have taken over the East Coast of the United States. Worse of all the Nazi's are getting help from Aliens who are changing the time line. By the end of the episode Silik is killed (which means no more Suliban) and Daniels tells Archer that the time line is fixed so no more time temporal wars. This sets things up for the series to focus on the early days of the federation.
Episode 3 "Home" In this episode we get a chance to see more of Vulcan and T'Pol's personal life. We also see the construction of NX-2 Columbia
Episode 4 "Borderland" Episode 5 "Cold Station 12" Episode 6 "The Augments" this 3 part introduces Dr. Soong (played by TNG Brent Spiner). This episode deals with genetic enhancing done by many humans to increase strength (Khan is mentioned by name in this episode) The episode ends with Dr. Soong in his cell thinking about focusing his attention on artificial intelligence instead
Episode 7 "The Forge" Episode 8 "Awakening" Episode 9 "Kir' Shara" This 3 part shows us division within Vulcan high council. We also get to see T'Pau for the first time. We learn that T'Pol had a pet Sehlat as a child (as the same with Spock's pet I-Chaya mentioned in the Animated series episode "yesteryear").We also see the Romulans making their presence.
Episode 10 "Daedalus" In this episode Dr. Emory Erickson, supposedly he invented the transporter. I find it hard to believe that humans invented that. I'm guessing he was the human who figured out how transporter technology works. Through out the series we find the Vulcans are slow in passing on technology to humans. Interesting story. Dr. Erickson is played by Bill Cobbs who co-stared with Dr. Phlox on "The Others"
Episode 11 "Observer Effect" I never saw this episode before. Reed and Mayweather are taken over by Aliens who see how humanoids react to death
Episode 12 "Babel one" Episode 13 "United" Episode 14 "The Aenar" This 3 part shows the first time Humans, Telarites, Vulcans, and the Andorians joining forces to stop an un-seen enemy (the Romulans). We also learn more about the Andorians and the race known as the Aenar.
Episode 15 "Affliction" Episode 16 "Divergence" How come the Klingon's look different on the original series, well Enterprise writers finally solve that mystery in this 2 part episode. The same serum that Khan used on himself to give them super strength ended up in the hands of the Klingons. The Klingons thought the serum would increase their strength but had a bad side effect, they lose the ridges on their fore head. It is believed it will be passed down to several generations.
Episode 17 "Bound" The Enterprise crosses path with the Orion syndicate.
Episode 18 "In A Mirror, Darkly Part 1" Episode 19 "In A Mirror, Darkly Part 2" Well maybe my favorite episodes of the series. This episode deals with 3 elements of the original series, The Evil universe, The Tholians and the Gorn.
Episode 20 "Demons" Episode 21 "Terra Prime" Maybe the saddest episode of the series. In this 2 part episode a radical group against Aliens living on Earth take DNA sample of T'pol and Tucker to make the first human/Vulcan baby. Trip and T'pol try to rescue their baby. Unfortunately their baby Elizabeth (T'pol names after Tucker's dead sister) dies. You really feel the pain of T'pol and Tucker losing their child. Col Green (who was in the original series episode "the savage cage") is mentioned
Episode 22 "These are the Voyages" I have to agree with Jolene Blalock in not liking the series finale. While using the holodek It's told from Riker's and Troi's point of view, while Riker is dealing with a problem from the Next Generation episode "The Pegasus" from 1994 . It flash fowards 6 years later as Enterprise is ending it's 10 year mission. Reed says "All good things" which is a refrence to The Next Generations last episode. Also Reed and Tucker mention other ships will use the name Enterprise. After the previous episode with Tucker and T'pol losing their child, it's mentioned that in the 6 years that has passed their relationship never develop. What a let down. Tucker gets killed which did not went well with fans. I don't like hey the shows is ending so let's kill off a character

Well morningsong and I love them. Like always, can't wait until the next episode to come out
Here's a good question, If there is no more money what do the chips represent in poker?
morningsong
Maybe the Data look was intentional since it is a Kirk halloween mask.
It's weird they had Brent play Soong, since that's not the same Soong that created Data. From what I've read he was some distant relative that didn't have any children, so he couldn't even be Data's great grandfather. But I guess it was his work that inspired Data's father Soong. But that sure gets confusing.

1. Brent Spiner's chest hairs got special treatment.
Occasionally, Westmore had to make a plaster cast of some part of Brent Spiner for a specific scene. Once, while doing one of his chest, he didn't have quite enough Vaseline on hand to prep him. When it became time to remove the cast, it stuck, so Westmore had to snip Spiner's chest hairs one by one until he was free … and each snip, no matter how carefully done, was followed by an "ouch!" from poor Spiner. (Westmore had some experience with this, as he and his uncle Bud once similarly trapped Rock Hudson's entire head, and Bud had done the same to Loretta Young with a plaster leg mold, but in that instance, the snipping had to happen a lot lower. Ouch, indeed.)
Brent Spiner didn't know what was coming.
2. Alien heads were not always that easy to remove.
Remember the Selay from Star Trek: The Next Generaton? Originally designed by Andy Probert, the costumes followed Gene Roddenberry's rule that one always had to be able to see aliens' eyes and mouths. Things were so busy that week, as they were also creating Anticans for the same episode, they farmed out the creation of the Selay headpieces. When they got them back, the heads were very rigid and difficult to put on, or remove, quickly. One day on set, an actor in a Selay costume wasn't feeling well, and while everyone scrambled to get the headpiece off him, they were too late: he threw up inside it. Needless to say, that particular headpiece was permanently retired.
The Selay in Star Trek: The Next Generation's "Lonely Among Us."
3. There's a reason Jolele Blalock's eyebrows kept changing.
Westmore was never happy with Jolene Blalock's eyebrows; he thought that they violated the rule that all Vulcans have arched eyebrows, and hers were pretty round, especially at the beginning of Enterprise's run. Over the course of four seasons, he arched them more and more, and says that if the show had gone to a full seven seasons, they would have been perfect by the end.
T'Pol's eyebrows underwent some changes between season one and season four.
4. The Borg were made from some pretty old tech.
Westmore's son Michael helped him design the Borg, using parts from old, broken circuit boards to make the various implants and pieces stuck to their bodies.
A Borg drone in "Best of Both Worlds" from Star Trek: The Next Generation.
5. The Borg concealed some silly secrets, right on their bodies.
They took things a step further for the movie Star Trek: First Contact. Makeup artists were creating dozens of individual pieces for the Borgs' faces, and wrote their own names directly onto the implants, making sure they wouldn't be seen on camera. One artist added the words "Westmore's House of BBQ" in one of them, and Westmore himself didn't find out until long after the movie was finished.
A Borg with secretly inscribed facial appliances from Star Trek: First Contact.
6. The Borg's blinking lights were not as random as they looked.
Final Borg fact: the blinking lights on some of the Borg actually spelled words out in Morse code, including the name of Michael Westmore Jr.'s dog.
Blinking lights on the Borg weren't as random as they seemed.
7. Sometimes Westmore was very literally behind the scenes … as in RIGHT behind them.
Remember TNG "Conspiracy," when Remmick swallowed the parasite and his neck started puffing out in all different directions? Westmore attached air bladders to Robert Schenkkan, who played Remmick, and to that attached some rubber tubing and ran it down his back. But the only way to inflate it to get the effect they wanted was for Westmore to lie on the floor behind Schenkkan and puff into the tube whenever the director told him to. It required a lot more takes than he expected, so with each retake he slowly changed from light pink to dark pink to red until he was so exhausted he had to just lie there, helpless, for a while before he could breathe normally again.
Fun fact: Robert Schenkkan is a playwright who has won both a Tony and a Pulitzer, and co-wrote Hacksaw Ridge.
Those neck bulges got their fresh air from Michael Westmore.
8. LeVar Burton had a very specific morning routine.
LeVar Burton used to look at each day's scripts while in the makeup chair on shooting days, while he ate his cereal out of a coconut shell. He had no trouble memorizing his lines, even though this was the very first time he was seeing them.
There's a reason LeVar Burton is the Reading Rainbow guy!
9. Dax's spots and Chakotay's tattoo held secrets.
Westmore used to hand draw both Dax's spots and Chakotay's tattoo every day, and would number the day and add his signature every time. Chakotay's final tattoo was numbered "#750 MW" and Dax's final set of spots was signed "#538 MW," right on her neck (but under the uniform collar). He frequently gets asked how he managed to make Dax's spots identical in every episode, but admits that they weren't, and no one ever noticed–not the producers, and not even nitpicky Star Trek fans. Chakotay, however, remained perfectly consistent, despite being hand drawn every day, and Westmore accomplished this by making sure he always started and finished in the same spot, right over Beltran's inner left eyebrow.
Michael Westmore painting Dax's spots on Terry Farrell at a convention.
10. Makeup had its very, very unglamorous side.
There's a scene in TNG's "The Offspring" in which Data has first created Lal and is introducing her to Deanna Troi. Lal doesn't look human yet, and is a metallic-looking android with no discernible facial features. To get that effect, actor Leonard Crofoot (who also played Trent in "Angel One" and a Qomar dignitary on Star Trek: Voyager) had to endure a very complex process. His whole body was covered, including his head, and while he had a small space near his mouth to breathe, his ears were covered and the director had to shout for Crofoot to hear instructions. More challenging still, getting the right look meant he had to wear full latex body pants glued in place, coated with an adhesive-based bronze makeup, and was then rubbed down with a bronze powder so he wouldn't stick to everything he touched. The entire concoction was was so confining that he couldn't go to the bathroom while he was in it. He spent one very long 14 hour day in that makeup, and avoided all food and drink because 14 hours is a very long time to not use the bathroom!
Leonard Crofoot's makeup covered him from head to toe.
Well it did take him sometime to work out the Cardassians' make up.
LeVar Burton had a very specific morning routine.
He eats out of a coconut shell??????????

Read somewhere that Jolene Blalock also didn't like her eye brows in the first few seasons. She wanted them to look more vulcan. She was a huge fan of the orginal series and Spock was her favorite.

Rekha Sharma was in the last episode of Star Trek continues.
Would like to see these actors in the series instead
Joe Flanigan - Captain
Bradley James - Navigator
Gigi Edgley - Science Officer
Daniel Dae Kim - Engineer
Carl Lumbly - Doctor
Reggie Austin - Bolian 1st Officer
Parminder Nagra - Communications officer
Kristen Kreuk - as a young Ensign Saavik, Helmsman
Sonequa Martin Green - Security Officer
Enver Gjokaj - Transporter Chief
Jolene Blalock - Ambassador T'Pol
Would have it set in the same time line as the original series. That way you can use CGI and have the orginal cast have cameos as well. Well that's how I would do a new Star Trek series.
Come to think of it, if you merge Michael Myers with C3PO you get Data
1 episode LeVar directed
On This Day in Deep Space Nine
Soldiers of the Empire premiers.
It was April 29, 1997 and we were reminded what makes a Klingon truly Klingon: honor and blood.
Worf and Jadzia are officers on a Klingon ship, captained by Martok, that has lost its Klingon way. It has not won a battle in ages, and the scent of defeat fills the air.
To make matters worse, it appears that Martok lost more than an eye at the Dominion internment camp he was found in.
Can Worf turn the tides, or will he also be swept away? Jadzia, then, must be strong for both of them.
And that was twenty years ago.
Star Trek The Next Generation 27 years ago today
Season 3 Episode 21 "Hollow Pursuits"
A shy member of the Enterprise crew becomes addicted to the holodeck, where relationships are easier there than in real life, when his knowledge is needed in engineering.

I find it SUPER IRONIC that your question ignores the FACT that the "Michael Myers" mask's TRUE connection to STAR TREK is that IT WAS A CAPTAIN JAMES TIBERIUS KIRK HALLOWEEN MASK! !!!
OP..... did you not KNOW this? Or is there a prize for "being in the know"?
♫"Trollin, Trolling! We could have fun just trollin'!"♫
Oops. I guess Jfrost already beat me to it.
BTW and FOR *(if this ought to be another category please tell me)
Who was the hottest FEATURED gal on TOS?
MY vote is Sherry Jackson. Susan Oliver second (also featured in Twilight Zone : PEOPLE ARE ALIKE ALL OVER). Some of those red shirts were incredibly good looking as well....unfortunately. ..no real record of them

I did one on one of the other Star Trek threads, so here are my picks for hottie guest stars (no Uhura or Rand) from the orginal series.
Here is for hot guest stars for Enterprise
I remember reading a magazine article way back in the 80s about how the original Star Trek had the hottest women.

Do you have Google Analytics and Google Search Console set up for your site? If not, install them as soon as you can. Tonnes of useful information.
Like seeing that you're getting traffic, but that visitors all leave your site in under 10 seconds. Or that none of your visitors are converting into calls, emails, or filled out forms.
Chances are your website is not set up to convert visitors into enquiries.
You'd think that just having a website would be enough. But in a time where most people have an average attention span only slightly longer than a goldfish, you need to stack as many cards in your favour as you can.
And this is where conversion rate optimisation comes in.
So here's a walk through video introducing you to this concept, and showing you through two real examples (thanks for volunteering Tracey and Aleksandar!).
It will show you how to make some quick changes to your website to convert more visitors into enquiries.
Then it's just up to you to turn them into customers or clients!

After stalling at the starting line last week, Republican Gov. Bill Haslam's transportation plan is scheduled to get another chance on Wednesday.
After stalling at the starting line last week, Republican Gov. Bill Haslam's transportation plan is scheduled to get another chance on Wednesday.
The House Transportation Subcommittee is scheduled to take up the Haslam bill that would include the state's first gas tax hike since 1989, but would also cut a series of other taxes in an effort to be revenue neutral while also raising money for nearly 1,000 road and bridge projects.
A rival proposal by Republican Rep. David Hawk of Greeneville would instead dedicate a small percentage of the state's sales tax collections to the transportation fund.
Hawk's plan appears to have support among many House Republicans, but their Senate counterparts appear unwilling to change the state's traditional way of paying for roads at the fuel pump.

About the MX-5
The MX-5, released as the MX-5 Miata /miˈɑːtə/ in North America, and the Roadster in Japan, is a lightweight two-seater roadster with front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. Manufactured by Mazda in Hiroshima, Japan, the model debuted in 1989 at the Chicago Auto Show. The MX-5 was conceived as a small roadster – with light weight and minimal mechanical complexity limited only by legal and safety requirements; technologically modern, but philosophically descending from small British and Italian roadsters of the 1960s such as the Triumph Spitfire, MG MGB, Fiat 124 Sport Spider, Alfa Romeo Spider, and Lotus Elan.
The second generation MX-5 (NB) had been launched in 199an as well as the present (NC) model has been in production since 2005. It continues to be the best-selling two-seat convertible activities car in history and by February 2011 over 900,000 MX-5s had been built and offered all over the world.
Since the launch of the third generation, Mazda consolidated worldwide marketing using the MX-5 title with the exception of North America where it is marketed as the MX-5 Miata. The name Miata derives from Old High German for reward.
The MX5's first generation, the NA, sold over 400,000 units from 1989 to 1997 – with a 1.6 L (98 cu in) straight-4 engine to 1993, a 1.8 L (110 cu in) engine thereafter (with a DE-tuned 1.6 as a budget option in some markets) – recognizable by its pop-up headlights. The second generation (NB) had been introduced in 1999 with a minor increase in engine power; it can be recognized by the fixed headlights and the cup rear window, although first generation owners may opt for the glass window design when replacing the original top. The third generation (NC) was introduced in 2006 with a 2.0 L (120 cu in) engine.
Launched at a time when production of small roadsters had almost come to an end, the Alfa Romeo Spider had been the only comparable amount model in production at the time of the MX-5's launch. Simply a decade earlier, a host of similar models — notably the MG B, Triumph TR7, Triumph Spitfire, and Fiat Spider — had been available.
The body is a conventional, but unibody, light or monocoque construction, with (detachable) front and back subframes. The MX-5 also includes a longitudinal truss, sold as the Powerplant Frame (PPF), providing a rigid connection between the engine and differential, minimizing flex and contributing to responsive handling. Some MX-5s feature limited slip differentials and anti-lock braking system. Traction control is an option available on NC models. The earlier cars weighed just over a ton, with engine power output usually 116 bhp (87 kW). The later cars were heavier, with greater power engines.
With an approximate 50:50 front/rear weight balance, the car has nearly neutral handling. Inducing oversteer is simple and very controllable, thus making the MX-5 a popular choice for amateur and stock racing, including, in the US, the Sports Car Club of America's Solo2 autocross and Spec Miata race series, and in the UK, the Ma5da
The MX-5 has won awards including Wheels Magazine 's Car of the Year for 1989 and 2005; Sports Car International's "best sports car of the 1990s" and "ten best sports cars of all time"; 2005–2006 Car of the Year Japan; and 2005 Australian Car of the Year. The Miata has also made Driver and Car magazine's yearly Ten Best list 14 times. In their December 2009 issue, Grassroots Motorsports mag named the Miata as the many important sports car built during the previous 25 many years.
The fact is that if you want a sports car, the MX-5 is perfect. Absolutely nothing on the road will give you better value. Nothing will provide you with so much fun. The only reason I'm offering it five movie stars is because we can't give it 14.
In 1981, Hall moved to an item preparing place with Mazda USA and again met Yamamoto, today chairman of Mazda Motors, who remembered their conversation about a roadster and in 1982 gave Hall the go-ahead to research the idea further. At this time Hall hired designer Mark Jordan to join the newly formed Mazda design studio in Southern California. There, Hall and Jordan collaborated on the parameters of the initial proportion, visualization and image of the "light-weight sports" concept. In 1983, the idea switched idea had been approved under the "Offline 55" system, an inner Mazda initiative that sought to change the way new models were developed. Thus, under head of task Masakatsu, the concept development had been turned into a competition between the Mazda design teams in Tokyo and California.
The Californian team proposed back-wheel-drive, front-engine layout, codenamed Duo 101, in line with the British roadster ancestry, but their Japanese counterparts favored the more common front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout or the rear mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout.
The first round of judging the competing designs was held in April 1984, with designs presented on paper only. The mid-engined automobile showed up to offer favorable qualities, although it was known at the time that such a layout would struggle to meet the noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) requirements of the project. It was only at the 2nd round of the competition in August 1984, when full-scale clay designs had been provided, that the Duo 101 won the competition and was selected as the basis for what would become the MX-5.
The Duo 101, so named as either a soft top or hard top could be used, incorporated many key stylistic cues encouraged by the Lotus Elan, a 1960s roadster, including the door handles and grill opening. International Automotive Design (IAD) in England, Worthing was commissioned to develop a running prototype, codenamed V705. It was built with a fiberglass human body, a 1.4 L (85 cu in) engine from a Mazda Familia and components from a variety of early Mazda models. The V705 was completed in August 1985 and taken to the US where it rolled on the roads around Santa Barbara, California and got positive responses.
The task got final approval on 18 January 1986. The model's codename was changed to P729 as it moved into the production phase, under mind of program Toshihiko Hirai. The task of constructing five engineering mules (much more developed prototypes) had been again allocated to IAD, which also conducted the first front and rear crash tests on the P729. While Tom Matano, After Mark Jordan, Wu Huang Chin, Norman Garrett, and Koichi Hayashi worked on the final design, the project was moved to Japan for engineering and production details.
By 1989, with a definitive model name now chosen, the MX-5 (as in "Mazda Experiment", task number 5) was ready to be introduced to the world as a true lightweight sports car, weighing just 940 kg (2,070 lb).
Although Mazda's concept was for the MX-5 to be an inexpensive sports car, at introduction the design met strong demand, with many dealers putting clients on pre-order lists and several dealers across North America increasing the vehicle markup.
The MX-5 had been unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show on February 10, 1989, with a price tag of US,000 (US,400 in 2011 modified for inflation). The MX-5, with production code NA, was made available for delivery to buyers worldwide in the following dates: May 1989 (as a 1990 model) in the US; Canada and September 1, 1989 in Japan; and 1990 in Europe. An optional hardtop was made available at the same time, in sheet moulding compound (SMC). Demand initially outstripped manufacturing, fueled by enthusiastic press reviews.
In Japan, the vehicle was not badged as a Mazda, as the company was experimenting with the creation of different marques for deluxe models, similar to Nissan's Infiniti and Toyota's Lexus (both brands of which launched at the same time as the Miata). Rather, the Mazda MX-5 was sold as the Eunos Roadster in that market.
The body shell of the NA had been all-steel with a light-weight aluminium hood. Overall dimensions were 3,970 mm (156 in) in length, 1,675 mm (65.9 in) in width, and 1,235 mm (48.6 in) in height. Without options, the NA weighed only 2,150 lb (980 kg). Drag coefficient had been indicated as 0.38. Suspension was an independent double wishbone on all four tires, with an anti-roll bar at the front and rear. Four wheel-disc brakes, ventilated at the front side, were behind alloy tires with 185/60HR14 radial tires. The base model came with stamped steel wheels from the then-current 323/Protege.
1990 Mazda MX5 1,600cc DOHC 4-cylinder engine. This example has been modified with the addition of a GReddy TD04(Mitsubishi) turbocharger kit
The original MX-5 came with a 1.6 L (98 cu in) double overhead cam inline four-cylinder engine, producing 86 kW (115 bhp) at 6,800 rpm, and 136 N���·m (100 lbf���·ft) of torque at 5,500 rpm. The motor employs an electronic gas injection system using a vane-type air flow meter and an electronic ignition system with a crankshaft angle sensor instead of a distributor. This codename, engine B6ZE(RS), was particularly designed for the MX-5 and featured a lightened flywheel, crankshaft, and aluminum sump with cooling fins.
Standard transmission was 5-speed manual. In the US, Japan and an, an optional automated transmission was also offered but proved to be unpopular. The American and Japanese markets also received an optional viscous limited slip rear differential, although it had been only readily available for cars with a manual transmission. To achieve the low introductory price, the base model was stripped. It had steel tires, manual steering, roll-up windows, and no stereo or air-conditioning. Power steering, air-conditioning, and stereo were added as standard equipment in later years.
The NA could reach 60 mph (97 km/h) in 8.1 seconds and had a top speed of 126 mph (203 km/h) although Japanese market Eunos models were limited to 112 mph (180 km/h). This first generation of Miata (often referred to as the NA) included a special Limited Edition of 250 examples in 1991, created in British Racing Green with the first usage of tan interior, to commemorate the highly successful launch of the MX-5 in the UK. These have a numbered metal plaque on the dash above the glovebox and on the front of the Owners Book, and are fitted with alloy wheels from MSW (Mazda Sports Workshop) that are often mistaken for BBS's, but are entirely unique to this model.
1990 Mazda MX-5 right hand drive interior.
1500 LE (Limited Edition) automobiles had been produced in 1993. This model showcased red leather interior, upgraded stereo, Nardi shift knob, leather-wrapped steering wheel, cruise, limited slip differential, energy house windows, energy mirrors, energy steering, air conditioning, BBS tires, Bilstein shocks, front and rear ABS, spoilers brakes, stainless sill plates, and Harley style peanut tank door speaker trim. All 1993 LE cars came in black colored.
For the 1994 model 12 months, the first-generation MX-5 had been freshened with the introduction of the much more powerful 1.8 L (110 cu in) BP-ZE engine, dual airbags and a limited slip differential in some markets. The chassis was substantially braced to meet new side-impact standards, most visibly by adding a "track bar" between the seatbelt towers inside the car, but also to the front and rear subframes. Also, 1994 and 1995 had been the only years where Mazda offered a light metallic blue paint (Laguna Blue Mica), making these cars unusual collectors cars to some. 1994 also saw the introduction of the "R" package, a sport-themed package with Bilstein shocks and subtle underbody spoilers, in addition to the removal of unnecessary items such as power steering. No body style changes were made, however.
The new 1.8 L (110 cu in) engine produced 98 kW (131 bhp), which was then increased to 99 kW (133 bhp) for the 1996 model year. The base weight increased to 990 kg (2,180 lb). Performance was enhanced somewhat, the additional power being partly offset by the extra weight. In some markets such as Europe, the 1.6 L (98 cu in) engine continued to be available as a lower-cost option, but was detuned to 66 kW (89 bhp). This lower-powered model did not receive all the extra chassis bracing of the new 1.8 L (110 cu in). US and Japanese cars were fitted with an optional Torsen LSD, which was far much more durable than the earlier viscous differential.
The retractable headlamps of the NA (front car) were replaced by fixed headlamps on the NB (rear car).
There were an amount of trim levels and unique editions available, determined by local Mazda marketing departments. In the US, the base model was offered for US,995 at launch and was very basic, with handbook windows, steel wheels, and without A/C or power steering. The "A Package" provided power steering, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, aluminum alloy wheels and cassette stereo. The "B Package" added power windows, along with cruise control and headrest speakers, while the "C Package" included a tan interior and leather and top seats. The "R Package" was for racing, as well as the annual special editions were formalized as "M Editions". These included all of the luxury options from the "C Package" because well as special paint and, sometimes, special wheels. In the UK, to celebrate Mazda's 24 hours of Le Mans win, Mazda broughan away a special edition of the MX-5, with the winner's color scheme (see Mazda 787B) and came equipped with BBR (Brodie Brittain Racing) turbo conversion; the vehicle is one of the most looked for after special edition cars of the MX-5s.
The first generation MX-5 had been phased out with the 1997 model year (with the exception of 400 limited edition Berkeley models sold only in the UK in 1999 to mark the end of the NA), with the final 1500 NAs produced for the US market being the "STO" ("Special Touring Option") variations.
A small range of Miata units were assembled by the M2 Incorporated. Founded in November 1991, M2, also known as "Mazda Too", had been Mazda's brand new off-line planning / niche-house / Research & Development company back in the early '90s. The M2 Corp. employees had noble intentions — creating niche-mobiles derived from Mazda's volume products. Although M2's fundamental mission involved focusing on the "soft" aspects of vehicle design in an attempt to create more specifically targeted niche variants, the changes to the off-line cars would go well beyond mere beauty products.
Heading the M2 operation was Mr. Masakatsu Kato, original father of the Miata (Eunos Roadster) in Japan, in addition to creator of several Mazda concept vehicles. Kato-san was assisted by Hirotaka Tachibana, development engineer responsible for the superb dynamics of the FC (second-generation RX-7an as well as the NA Roadster (Miata MX-5). M2 Corp. was based out of Japan, Tokyo. M2-Corp was a 100% had subsidiary of Mazda, and it was closed by Mazda in 1995. Mazda kept a similar program going with the Mazdaspeed vehicles, and then in the late '90s Mazdaspeed had been consumed into Mazda as a subsidiary company in Mazda Auto Tokyo. There were many types of M2 branded vehicles between 1991 and 1995, beginning with the 1001 up to the 1031 Cafe Racer (Dec-91).
M2-1001 Cafe Roadster (Dec-91) Limited 1/300 M2 Corp. released the M2-1001 Roadster in December 1991. It was a special "Limited Production" Roadster variant that was a short manufacturing run of only 300 units, in a special Blue/Black Mica Paint, with a sticker price of ,000. Prospective buyers were required to show up in person at M2's Tokyo headquarters to register for a lottery to place an order for this extremely limited Roadster.
This upscale Eunos Roadster was M2's very first turn-key, race-ready offering. Here is a list of a few of the goodies that made it so popular: useful front airdam with integrated fog lamps, vintage aero mirrors, 4-point roll bar, vintage measure cluster, fixed back bucket seats, polished 3-spoke steering wheel, stiffer suspension package with M2 specific rates, refined aluminum strut brace, upgraded exhaust by HKS, intake system, 1.6L motor with new aggressive pistons, upgraded camshaft, lightweight LSD, flywheel cooling intake, handbook steering, manual windows (A/C was optional), racing pedals, centerless console with matching shortened radio bezel, aluminum gas filler cap, a far more aggressive wheel & tire package (15" x 6" Panasport rims), and a rear spoiler (which became standard for the R package). The performance changes made to the Roadster would bump the power to 132 bhp (98 kW) @ 7,000 rpm, and 109 lbf���·ft (148 N���·m) of torque @ 5,500 rpm. When released, it proved therefore popular that individuals were paying up to ,000 for one.
M2-1002 Vintage Roadster (Nov-92) Limited 1/300 M2-CORP released its second Roadster in late 1992, with a sightly different front bumper but all the exact same products as the previous 1001 Roadster. This one did not do as well as the 1001.
M2-1028 Street Competition Roadster (Feb-94) Limited 1/300 M2-CORP released its third Roadster in early 1994, based on the initial "Jinba Ittai" concept made by Toshihiko Hirai. This was billed as a track-ready Roadster. (The US saw a cheaper version known as the R-Package.) Offered in Chaste White or Brilliant Black only, this Roadster used the new 1.8L powerplant with upgraded pistons, camshafts, and other similar goodies as the previous 1001 and 1002. This Roadster had an production of close to 150 bhp (110 kW), and included 14" Eunos Factory Rims with a unique gunmetal paint with polished lip. The only real modifications had been a new set of lightweight side mirrors, MOMO Steering Wheel, Centerless console, racing seats, racing tow hook, a set of lower lip spoilers (R-Package), and a newly created "Duck-Tail" trunk lid with integrated spoiler. The M2-1028 trunk lid was made from aluminum and weighed only 7.7 lb (3.5 kg), a really light fat from the original top of 15.5 lb (7.0 kg). It also came with a 6-point roll cage, but no soft-top, as an alternative featuring a tarp that stretched over the cage. With optional FRP Hardtop with plexiglass rear window for more weight cost savings coming in at only 19 lb (8.6 kg).
In 1998, Mazda released the second-generation MX-5, production code NB, for the 1999 model 12 months. The NB featured a more powerful engine and external styling cues lent from the third generation Mazda RX-7 model. Prices in the United States, the main market for the MX-5, started at US,770 (US,700 in 2011 modified for inflation).
Although many parts of the interior and body were various, the many notable changes were the headlamps: the first generation's retractable headlamps no longer passed pedestrian safety tests and were replaced by fixed ones. The new car grew slightly in width compared to the earlier model; its dimensions were: size 3,945 mm (155.3 in), width 1,678 mm (66.1 in), height 1,228 mm (48.3 in) and wheelbase 2,265 mm (89.2 in). Without options, the NB weighed 1000 kg (2300 lb). The new generation was somewhat more aerodynamic than the original, with a Cd figure of 0.36.
The NB continued to employ four-wheel independent suspension, with enlarged anti-roll bars at the front and rear, but the tires, wheels and brakes were considerably upgraded: anti-lock braking system was offered as an option; alloy tires were now 14 in (360 mm) or 15 in (380 mm) in diameter and 6 in (150 mm) in width, depending on the trim recreations; package models were equipped with the larger tires and 195/50VR15 tires.
The BP-4W engine remained at 1.8 L (110 cu in) but got several minor updates. The engine compression ratio was raised from 9.0:1 to 9.5:1 by adding slightly domed pistons; the intake cam was changed to a solid lifter design with a stronger cam; the intake runners in the head were straightened and the intake manifold was mounted higher up. Mazda's Variable Intake Control System had been introduced, which effectively gave a long narrow intake manifold at low rpm for better swirl, changing to short, free-flowing manifold at high rpm for maximum breathing. Power output of the new engine was quoted at 104.4 kW (140.0 bhp) with 116 lbf���·ft (157 N���·m) of torque.
The 1.6 L (98 cu in) B6 engine remained available in Europe and Japan. The base-model 1.8 L (110 cu in) NB could reach 62 mph (100 km/h) in 7.8 s and had a top speed of 130 mph (210 km/h).
In 1999, Mazda celebrated the 10th anniversary of the MX-5 with the 10th Anniversary Model, a limited version featuring some until-then exclusive features, namely a six-rate Bilstein and transmission shock absorbers; performance figures were slightly different, with slower acceleration but greater top speed compared to standard 5-speed model. The model's nickname among owners and enthusiasts had been 10AM or 10AE (as in "10th Anniversary Edition"). The car had a unique sapphire blue mica (called innocent blue in Japan) paint colour with two-toned black leather and blue alcantara seats. The addition of the sixth gear resulted in different performance results, with 0–100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.5 moments, a tenth of a second slower than the standard 5-speed model, because of the heavier weight. Nevertheless, in spite of the 10AM's greater weight, its top rated speed was higher, at 214 km/h (133 mph) instead of 210 km/h (130 mph). Combined consumption was 8.0 instead of 8.5 l/100 km (29 instead of 28 mpg).
Each car was sequentially numbered on a badge on the driver-side front quarter panel. A "Certificate of Authenticity" with the same number came with each car, signed by Mazda President James E. Miller and dated 10 February 1999. On certain markets, a gift set was additionally included, consisting of a 1/24 scale diecast model, two Seiko-branded wristwatches (his and hers) with matching blue Miata and faceplate logo, and steel keychain in the form of the Miata logo, all encased in a luxury blue velvet box. Despite the publicity that Mazda gave to this model, it took more than a year to sell all units, drawing criticism that too many devices had been produced (another element was the large price with an MSRP of ,875, about 00 more than a base model). For comparison, there were 3,500 units of the NC's third Generation Limited launch model in 2005, and regular limited editions produced each 12 months don't usually go beyond 1,500 units per region. The polished wheels are notorious for corroding once the thin lacquer coating is damaged. Mazda replaced thousands of sets under warranty. There were minor distinctions in specification according to the market, these types of as no sports appearance package (front/side/back skirts, rear wing) or atmosphere training for Europe.
7,500 units of the tenth Anniversary were produced, with 3,700 distributed to Europe (of which: 600 - UK, 20 - Portugal), 3,150 to North America (of which 3,000 to US and 150 to Canada), 500 to Japan and 150 to Australia. Car number 7,500 was sold in the UK.
For the 2001 model year, a facelift to the second-generation MX-5 was released. There had been some minor exterior changes, with a press-release of July 18, 2000, announcing the changes as "resulting in an even sportier and more forceful look". Fog lamps, previously an option, had been made standard. Some cockpit elements were changed, with the instrument panel gauges getting a white face and red numbers. The seats were additionally incorporating, upgraded more support in the part bolsters and taller headrests. Added for top models (designated 'Sport' in the U.K) had been 16-inch (410 mm) wheels with 205/45VR16 low-profile tires, larger brake system at the front and back, additional chassis stiffening braces, a limited slip differential, a 6-speed manual gearbox, Bilstein suspension system and leather seats. The upgraded tires and suspension allowed the new model to pull 0.91 g in lateral grip in tests by Car and Driver magazine. The human body had been strengthened, gaining 16% in bending rigidity and 22% in torsional rigidity. With the bare minimum of options, the 2001 model weighed 1,065 kg (2,348 lb).
2002 Mazda MX5 1,840cc DOHC 4-cylinder engine, with variable valve timing on the intake camshaft
The 1.8 L (110 cu in) BP-Z3 engine was slightly modified and now featured variable valve timing on the intake camshaft. The intake and exhaust system also received a minor upgrade. These adjustments resulted in a power production of 113 kW (152 bhp) (Japan, Australia and UK) or 107 kW (143 bhp) (US only). In the United States, Mazda erroneously quoted the power figure for the Japanese and Australian model in early catalogues. Car and Driver magazine and many owners confirmed the missing energy, and Mazda offered to purchase back the 2001 cars due to those misleading power claims. Owners who did not take up the buy back offer were offered an apology and free servicing for the guarantee period.
2002 saw the launch of the MX5 SP. The MX-5 SP was developed and sold in Australia and its turbocharged motor produced 157 kW (211 bhp) at 6800 rpm. Only 100 of those cars were built. The SP had been very expensive in contrast to a standard MX5 at the time but offered blistering performance. It's fast become a cult classic and sought after model in Australia.
In 2003 Mazda established a campaign to target a younger team of drivers with the introduction of the Shinsen Version (SV) Miata. The Shinsen (Japanese for "Fresh and New") provided an intermediate action between the base model and the pricier LS. Prepared with most standard features on the LS, such as cruise control and aluminum brush trim. This limited production model also shared an inverted color scheme of the exact same 12 months Special Edition with a titanium silver outside and dark blue interior and top.
Also in 2003, a division of Mazda in Japan released the Roadster Coup���©, with an fixed hardtop roof. The body structure was reworked to integrate the roof and gave a substantial increase in framework rigidity with a fat increase of 10 kg (22 lb). Production was restricted to 179 units for Japan only. This was to become one of the rarest forms of the MX-5.


There have been 0 recalls on Q60 vehicles in recent years. The latest, dated 2017-07-31 and published by the NHTSA on 2017-08-08, was due to a problem with the fuel pump.	Approximately 14192 vehicles were involved. Since 2016, Q60's have experienced approximately 1 recall(s) . See a list of recalls for your model year below.


Four Classic API preamps for my lunchbox. Super easy DIY kit builds and they sound great!
I bought an old Altec 8-channel preamp/preamp for next to nothing. In stock form it's not very useful: it has fixed gain optimized for speech and gets easily overloaded. I modded it with variable gain, direct output attenuator and -20 db pads on each channel. Now it's a great preamp filled with transformer goodness!
Great site! Love your work.
Do you have more info on these DIY studio gear? I've been looking for these API clones for a while. I'm from Europe.

Travis d'Arnaud Scouting Report
By Dave Gershman Jan 2, 2012, 2:07am EST
Share All sharing options for: Travis d'Arnaud Scouting Report
Here's a brief scouting report on Blue Jays' catching prospect Travis d'Arnaud.
d'Arnaud is a strong and big-bodied catcher with a strong arm and powerful bat. He is among the small group of catchers in baseball who grade out to be above average both defensively and offensively at the major league level. d'Arnaud has an ultra-quick bat accompanied by fantastic plate vision. He keeps a steady, consistent bat plain and his swing is very leveraged throughout. d'Arnaud is athletic and runs well for a catcher, although I wouldn't say he has above average speed. His power is also plus, as he can hit the ball out of the park via all fields. He has an advanced eye at the plate and his pitch selection is impressive, although he often gets out in front of breaking balls.
d'Arnaud has made tremendous strides defensively over the past few years. He's always had a strong arm, but especially this past season, his throws to the bases have been much more on target. He calls a good game and has been touted by his pitchers to be a fine receiver. There aren't many 1st tier talents in baseball, but d'Arnaud has no weak spot in his game. Instead, he shines both offensively and defensively and is easily the Jays' best prospect.

The year 2017 witnessed a series of remarkable developments in the blockchain sector. Even if it was anticipated that a good number of proof-of-concepts would morph into real production, such was not the case. The blockchain market bloomed much slower than expected. Nonetheless, 2017 was also the year of certain unforeseen developments such as the rise of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Will the blockchain area continue in the same direction this year? Here are some key forecasts.
What 2018 has in reserve for blockchain?
Will blockchain maintain the same trends as it did in 2017? Following are some principal trends and evolutions predicted by experts.
Even if this year blockchain is expected to continue booming like 2017, it is also predicted that its evolution will face multiple obstacles just like last year. The sector will remain risky due to the high volatility of cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are forecast to attract more buyers and investors, especially institutional ones. Last year, it was rather retail investors defining the price of cryptocurrencies. 2018 will certainly see the emergence of a number of blockchain applications. The digital currency will, however, not replace traditional currency due to its unstable nature that should persist for some more years. It will hence stay as a speculative asset even if experts say that it should become a more mature sector than previously.
This year, many countries will see an increased amount of regulations being implemented with regards to cryptocurrencies. Worldwide, legislators and regulators will aim to regulate the trade in Bitcoins and ban anonymous Bitcoins accounts for instance. Those gaps where cryptocurrencies have been going against existing laws should also be remedied. It is also expected that crypto exchanges will be audited and regulated. Same rules should apply to Initial Coin Offerings. In the same breath, blockchain initiatives will increasingly be assessed and a number of blockchain projects should never see the light.
Blockchain applications are expected to infiltrate the financial sector in 2018. Larger banks will increasingly embrace blockchain payment systems, tempted by the advantages in terms of real-time processing, lower risk profiles, lower costs, and transparency. The insurance sector is equally expected to position itself as a key area for blockchain technology, especially with regards to claims processing and complex multi-party processes like subrogation.
It is expected that blockchain will bring about a digital revolution in the manufacturing and production industries. One of the biggest growth areas where blockchain is expected to flourish is the chain management by providing transparency. The automotive and retail industries are those to be more influenced as blockchain can be used to minimize logistics errors as well as track deliveries and transactions.
This year, blockchain will equally be adopted in recruitment and HR. Blockchain CVs have already been designed to streamline the selection process by rendering the verification of candidates' qualifications and relevant experience easy. HR departments may screen CVs in efforts towards streamlining and optimizing the hiring selection process. Apart from this, educational institutions, as well as employers, will have access to profiles to confirm this information, thus making the system fully reliable.
Blockchain technology has also managed to titillate the interest of the health industry. Considerable progress is expected in this area in 2018, such as in operational management, and patient's database. Blockchain distributed ledgers are also expected to gain traction in the legal domain for the tracking of transfer of ownership.

a greener future
Welcome A First in America Advantages The Thermoselect Process Experts Assessment
A Greener Result A Proven Process 3R Synergy Team Press Releases Contact us Français
Video - Thermoselect Technology
Gasification is a Recycling and Proven Process
Thermoselect's High temperature gasification is a recycling technology applied to residual waste. The only such technology in the world. It transforms waste that are considered non recyclable into energy and by-product that are reused into industrial applications. It is a true form of recycling; 100% of the treated waste is recycled into usable by-products. Thermoselect's plants accept not only household waste, but also most types of commercial and industrial wastes, hazardous wastes and materials from the home building industry, including large objects Waste management must be handled on two fronts: plan globally and act locally. First, gathering the waste and salvaging the recycling materials are all the two most important steps to be taken. It allows to divert most of the waste that would otherwise go into landfill sites. It also serves to educate the population by making it more reliable and better aware of solutions. Moreover, this approach is a strong support the social and local economy.
To think globally is to have a larger view and to have an understanding of all various efforts made towards waste management. It is to find green solutions to solve the problems related to the residual ultimate waste. A Thermoselect plant can recycle 300,000 tons of residual waste per year. Quebec generates 6 million tons of such waste. This implies that most regions of Quebec could support a Thermoselect plant. Any other region of America is no different than Quebec province where waste generation is a profound treat to our actual and future heath and is an environmental and social serious concern. This means that landfill sites or "permitted storage" of waste, should end and our society decide to pay less; if we take into account, expert advice concerning the life cycle analysis of landfill versus gasification, the last is the cheapest.
Since 1999, 7 waste management plants were built in Japan
using Thermoselect technology. None of these have a chimney.
Some people expressed their concern, arguing that gasification plants would reduce recycling. Quite the opposite. Thermoselect plants will recycle only residual waste that cannot be recycled by conventional methods and which would otherwise be sent to landfill sites. Facts show that our society in America as it is also the case in Europe, will produce more and more of such residual waste which cannot be either reused or recycled. It is important to note that despite large amount of new residual waste available, the Thermoselect technology could process "old waste" coming out from landfill site decontamination as well, which is an exceptional feature and useful flexibility toward steady syngas production. It aloud to secure long term waste stream volume and act as a safety for investors and energy end users.
Japan banned the landfill. 12 years ago, JFE Enginering installed their first Thermoselect plant and went on to install a total of 7 such plants while also adding gasification lines to many incinerators to help them meet higher emissions standards and to avoid landfill. Thermoselect's plants are so clean that some of them were installed in urban areas, some of which have been integrated to municipal swimming pools to supply them with heat. They have all been built by leading architects with the view of making architecturally attractive. Inconveniences from operations are almost nil, as all operations are carried out within the buildings and indoor air is constantly filtered to destroy the smell generated by the incoming waste.


1.	When did you realize that feng shui was a field you wanted to pursue?
In 1996 I was introduced to Feng Shui at Coles bookstore in Regina Saskatchewan where I found an interesting looking book with a beautiful yellow lily, some Chinese words and the word FENG SHUI on the cover written by Terah Katherine Collins. I had no idea what Feng Shui was so I proceeded to check the back cover write-up about the book. Sounded interesting. Then to the dedication page "To our homes and workplaces. May they be our Personal Paradises." I was sold!
I bought the book, went home, devoured it and proceed to make changes within our home in accord with the Bagua map. I have always been interested in setting up a home that we loved and enjoyed. We always purchased items and pictures that we loved rather than things that matched. I was very intrigued with the ability of the Bagua map to make a diagnosis of a space. It gives a space an order and meaning.
At that time we did not have access to the Internet that we have today so I had to rely on books to get further Feng Shui knowledge. Whenever we went to a new city you could find me at bookstores trying to find books on Feng Shui. I now own quite a collection of Feng Shui books.
2.	Have you always been interested in art and design? If not, what is your educational background originally in?
My career was in Early Childhood Education. I taught school for 30 years - 24 of the 30 in Kindergarten classes. As well as using Feng Shui for my home I always set my classroom up according to the Bagua map. The classroom space always felt very welcoming, vibrant and had a good flow. The children thrived.
My two boys grew up with their Mother doing Feng Shui, so it was only natural for them to ask me to help them set up their offices when that time came in their lives. In both cases there were very favorable responses to their spaces and requests from colleagues to ask their Mother if she would help them set up their spaces too. At that point I decided that if I was going to help others with Feng Shui I wanted to get some credibility.
That was when I found NYIAD (at that time known as Sheffield School). In 2012 I enrolled in the NYIAD Feng Shui class. I was very happy to see that one of the course textbooks was by Terah Katherine Collins. Hers was the first book that got me hooked on Feng Shui. I really enjoyed the course work and felt it gave me a good grounding in Feng Shui. The course assignments were relevant, fun to do and gave me a creative outlet that I really enjoyed. My mentor was very helpful and always gave me excellent suggestions and inspiration when she sent me my webcam evaluations.
4.	After graduation, how did you use this knowledge to help you with a real world career?
After graduating from NYIAD, I decided to pursue Feng Shui further and enrolled in the Certified Feng Shui Professional Program with James Jay in Seattle. From here I named my business, got business cards and set up a website. I then joined the International Feng Shui Guild and wrote and passed the Red Ribbon Professional exams. From my website I quickly got a request to teach Feng Shui classes. I arranged for my first Feng Shui class to be held at our local library with eight students enrolled. I have since taught many FS classes and have done many consultations.
My main focus on my classes are to have my students get a good foundation on Feng Shui. The design work that I do includes teaching classes ( I have 3 PowerPoint classes that I teach - 2 on Foundational Feng Shui and one on Feng Shui for the Bedroom), home consultations in person and long distance, Space Clearing and Garden Feng Shui. I took Denise Linn's Elemental Space clearing certificate program which adds to the home consultations that I do for clients. I am right now taking Doreen Virtue and Judith Lukomski's Crystal Healing course and Andrea Butje Lavendar Aromatherapy class. I am planning on taking a Clutter Clearing class from Karen Kingston in the near future.
5.	Tell us about the feng shui design work you do.
I practice Feng Shui on a part time basis. My website has been helpful and I plan on starting a Feng Shui blog.
6.	If you had to pick one, what was the most memorable project you've ever completed?
Feng Shui has become a passion. I love to talk to people about the importance of their spaces (homes and work places) and the tremendous effects these spaces have on their wellbeing and how the knowledge of Feng Shui can help to achieve optimal wellbeing. It is very satisfying when students and clients see the relevance of using Feng Shui in their life and how simple changes have big effects. I really cannot pick a project that was the most memorable to me as they all have been memorable because each person and space are very unique and interesting.
7.	If you could give one piece of advice to our current and prospective students, what would it be?
Just after I had written my International Feng Shui Guild exams I was at an Art Show in Palm Springs. I was talking to an owner of an Art Gallery in Santa Fe. He asked me what I did for a living. I told him I was a retired Kindergarten teacher, and now a Feng Shui consultant. He said "the world has need of you." I believe this to be true. The world needs our Feng Shui knowledge to help get our spaces cleaned up and in good living order so we can live and thrive.


A true health expert never recommends having anything that is "out of season". With a vast development in modern agriculture, growing any type of crop irrespective of seasons has become possible.
We just forgot the fact that seasonal fruits and vegetables offer the right nutritional value and also good for the environment.
Why You Should Eat Seasonal Fruits and Vegetables?
It's good for your health if you consume the food crop that is grown in your area where the climatic conditions and the atmosphere is the same. As both you and the crop are from the same region, it provides the best nutritional value that allows you to cope with the weather condition of your area.
Fruits and vegetables start to lose their nutritional value as soon as they are picked. If the farm is located in your area, it will take less time to reach the local market where you can buy them is the best available freshness.
The essential antioxidants also start to fade slowly, making the fruits and vegetables a left-over flesh.
Since these fruits and vegetables don't undergo a lot of travel, this ultimately reflects the overall pricing of them. The usage of preservatives and other things are also not needed, saving costs further.
If you support your local farmers, they don't have to go for artificial ripening methods demanded by heavy supply demand.
Instead, they allow the crops to ripen more naturally, allowing more time to ripen. This ensures authentic taste combined with nutrition.
Buying seasonal food mutually benefits you and your local farmers. If local people assure to buy locally grown food from the farmers of your region, they don't have to rely on external buyers, who purchase in bulk at a substantially lower cost.
You might think you can get the high nutritious exotic fruits and vegetables online or from your supermarket can be healthy.
Wrong! They are harvested a way before and subjected to long travels before reaching you. Almost 2/3 of total nutrition is already lost.
To make the fruits and vegetables sustain during those long trips, there is a risk of contamination during transit or due to the use of preservatives and bleaches.
You will finally pay more for the dead-flesh that has a way less amount of nutrition added with harmful chemicals.
The high cost is justified by transportation and handling.
If you don't support local farmers by buying seasonal foods, they don't have any other option to drift away from supply contractors.
These contractors put pressure on your local farmers to bring a higher yield in a short span of time. Then the farmers will be forced to use conventional fertilizers, pesticides, and artificial ripening agents which will eventually destroy the land and water resources.
Do you still think it is okay to live without this awareness?
Hope you don't! Share it with your friends and make them aware too!

Ultrafast intersystem crossing and spin dynamics of photoexcited perylene-3,4:9,10-bis(dicarboximide) covalently linked to a nitroxide radical at fixed distances
Emilie M Giacobbe, Qixi Mi, Michael T Colvin, Boiko Cohen, Charusheela Ramanan, Amy M Scott, Sina Yeganeh, Tobin J Marks, Mark A Ratner, Michael R Wasielewski
Journal of the American Chemical Society 2009 March 18, 131 (10): 3700-12
Time-resolved transient optical absorption and EPR (TREPR) spectroscopies are used to probe the interaction of the lowest excited singlet state of perylene-3,4:9,10-bis(dicarboximide) ((1*)PDI) with a stable tert-butylphenylnitroxide radical ((2)BPNO(*)) at specific distances and orientations. The (2)BPNO(*) radical is connected to the PDI with the nitroxide and imide nitrogen atoms either para (1) or meta (3) to one another, as well as through a second intervening p-phenylene spacer (2). Transient absorption experiments on 1-3 reveal that (1*)PDI undergoes ultrafast enhanced intersystem crossing and internal conversion with tau approximately = 2 ps to give structurally dependent 8-31% yields of (3*)PDI. Energy- and electron-transfer quenching of (1*)PDI by (2)BPNO(*) are excluded on energetic and spectroscopic grounds. TREPR experiments at high magnetic fields (3.4 T, 94 GHz) show that the photogenerated three-spin system consists of the strongly coupled unpaired electrons confined to (3*)PDI, which are each weakly coupled to the unpaired electron on (2)BPNO(*) to form excited doublet (D(1)) and quartet (Q) states, which are both spectrally resolved from the (2)BPNO(*) (D(0)) ground state. The initial spin polarizations of D(1) and Q are emissive for 1 and 2 and absorptive for 3, which evolve over time to the opposite spin polarization. The subsequent decays of D(1) and Q to ground-state spin polarize D(0). The rates of polarization transfer depend on the molecular connectivity between PDI and (2)BPNO(*) and can be rationalized in terms of the dependence on molecular structure of the through-bond electronic coupling between these species.
