The mental count of my Star Trek books has been off for a while. It's not off by a few, either. I thought I had approximately 320 Star Trek books in my library. The updated count is a bigger number than I thought, and a much smaller gap to 400 than was originally assumed.

I have 379. That is nearly 40% of the general definition of a library...

I also recently found out one of my books is signed by J.M. Dillard!

THE JAMES: TRANSFORMATION OF AN OZARK RIVER

Printed postcard, 1907. The genesis of the square-ended (and, as above, sometimes pointed), flat bottomed boats specifically for commercial floating on the James and White rivers is poorly documented. Many theories have been advanced as to how they were developed and how they came to be called “johnboats.” We chose to profile the James River in a 352-page all color book because its watershed…

Friday Food For Thought

Denton Greenbelt Disaster in Slow Motion – Making Good Trouble Can’t you tell I’m frustrated by the lack of progress on the Denton Greenbelt Debacle? E mails to the local authority at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), based in Lewisville, Texas, are responded to in (seemingly) premeditated one-week intervals. I must ass-u-me that response time is normal for ALL Federal agencies, just to…

06/02/22 - Lake Strom Thurmond, GA - REFLECTION IN THE CLOUDS - As usual, whenever we stay at a Corps of Engineers (COE) campground, we get a first class campsite close to a water feature: generally a lake, river or dam. In this case, we are staying on Lake Strom Thurmond, the largest COE lake east of the Mississippi with over 1,200 miles of shoreline. After dinner, we like to walk around and look for colorful sunsets over the water. Didn’t get that tonight. What you see pictured instead is the reflection of the sunset, which is actually behind us, in the water and clouds. Doesn’t matter: a daily dose of this is still great food for the soul. What’s not to like?

Danny just wanted to enjoy the stars. Was that too hard to ask? Evidently so by the fact that he was currently dragging six foot two man in green into his room.

"The Corps' covering for the pipeline company's outrageous safety record and the reviewer's serious conflict of interest have now resulted in a failed effort," said Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Chairwoman Janet Alkire. "They need to start over with adult supervision."

Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Chairwoman Janet Alkire is leading a fresh demand that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers throw out an ongoing environmental review process of the controversial Dakota Access Pipeline and start again from scratch alongside a superseding call for the pipeline to be shuttered completely.

Following Friday's release of a revised Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), ordered by a federal court, the tribe said the document reveals the entire process has been a failure and that the pipeline—currently operating across their land without consent in what they consider an "illegal" manner by the Energy Transfer company—should be shut down once and for all.

"We're furious that the Army Corps has addressed none of our major concerns during the review process," Chairwoman Alkire said in a statement.

"The pipeline is an imminent threat to the Missouri River, sensitive habitat, and sacred burial sites along the riverbank," she continued. "The oil company's emergency response plans are inadequate, its safety track record is horrendous, and there's been a stunning lack of transparency with Standing Rock throughout the environmental review process, including inaccurate characterizations of tribal consultation."

The Army Corps did not make any recommendations or indicate preferences among the alternatives presented in the new EIS report, which included keeping it in operation, possible rerouting, removing the pipeline by excavation, or abandoning it in place. The Corps said its final recommendations will accompany a final report once the review process is complete, but the Standing Rock Sioux said the process has been seriously flawed.

The tribe said the draft EIS fails to "account for the existence of criminal charges and a host of fines and serious citations" from regulators faced by Energy Transfer. Alkire accused the Corps of "doing all it can to ignore the company’s poor safety record and the high risk" of the pipeline. According to the statement by the tribe:

the entirety of the environmental review process hasn't been taken seriously and is compromised because the Corps selected a company with a clear conflict of interest to prepare the just-released draft EIS. Environmental Resources Management — which also produced a sparkling environmental review for the Keystone XL pipeline, later shelved due to environmental concerns — is a member of the American Petroleum Institute. That organization previously filed a legal brief in support of DAPL in Standing Rock’s suit against the Army Corps. Moreover, Environmental Resources Management has contracted with at least five separate companies with an ownership interest in DAPL.

The release of the EIS triggers a 45-day public comment period and the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe is now requesting public support in opposition of the project.

"The Corps' covering for the pipeline company's outrageous safety record and the reviewer's serious conflict of interest have now resulted in a failed effort," said Alkire of the current process. "They need to start over with adult supervision."

Amy Mall, senior advocate at NRDC, said her group stands "in solidarity with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in opposing this dirty and dangerous pipeline that harms the climate and threatens the primary water source for the Tribe."

"The Army Corps must consider all of the risks of this pipeline, make all significant environmental information available without redactions, and honor the Tribe’s treaty rights," Mall added. "We call on the Corps to shut it down."

Star Corps Crew!!

I did a little redesign for them after very long consideration and an even longer discussion with a friend! Dondo is now modeled after Scott instead and M1 is Pat! Jonas and Wuan are still the same but I did add a little Star Corps badge on their uniforms :)

An alien species from the planet Luyten. They've got the signature green skin and antennas and telepathic abilities #Jonas' species is originally from Titan the moon. He's half-human from his human mother which gave him a more human appearance #M1 is an engineering android and the most advanced one. The first and only successful prototype made by Star Corps Cybernetics Institution. #I swear I'll design the girls later y'all I'm just trynna redesign them first 💀

This was 25 year old Staff Sgt. Jonathan Dean Jr Haim of the Combat Engineering Corps' 603rd Battalion from Ramat Gan who was killed in action in Gaza.

May his memory be for a blessing

I actually do find pre-TFA fics where Hux is always a lieutenant lowkey funny because on one hand okay let's be real Star Wars fanfiction does Not have to be accurate to any real-life anything, But However. On the other hand. Going off American army ranks, Hux being a lieutenant up until he became a general would mean that (depending on which rank of lieutenant, and depending on what rank of general the author depicts him as during TFA) he straight up jumped a minimum of five and as many as ten ranks through one assassination. Speedrunning the military hierarchy.

#it also means that he didn't manage to climb any ranks at all throughout his entire career until he was 30 #despite having been conscripted and put in a command position when he was FIVE #so basically lieutenant!20s!hux has been doing absolutely fuck all for 20ish years #i usually have 20s!hux as a colonel #fucking around with the FOACE (First Order Army Corps of Engineers) since 11 ABY #not an incorrect quote #armitage hux
