Within three years of the Death Star's demise, the Galactic Empire again proved its evil nature with the construction of a second Death Star in a remote region of space. Fortunately for the galaxy, the Empire never completed this monstrosity. Word of its construction was spread through the Rebel ranks by Bothan spies. The Alliance was able to pinpoint the exact location of Death Star's construction, and mount a pre-emptive strike to destroy the station.
The leaked information was all a ruse. The scheming Emperor Palpatine engineered the Rebellion's discovery of the Death Star in the hopes of trapping the growing Rebel fleet. The second Death Star would not be as vulnerable as the Rebels believed.
To ensure that the Death Star would destroy the lured Alliance fleet, Palpatine entrusted the supervision of its final phase of construction to his Sith apprentice, Lord Darth Vader. Vader motivated the Death Star's commander, Moff Jerjerrod, to see that the battle station was operational when the Emperor arrived for his inspection tour.
The second Death Star was not a complete sphere. Though much of the battle station's recognizable shape was visible, there were huge sections of exposed superstructure and visible skeleton. To protect the half-completed and immobile station during its construction, the Empire projected an immense deflector shield from the nearby forest moon of Endor. The shield was strong enough to protect any breach from both capital and starfighter-class ships.
The Alliance sent a commando team to land on the moon and deactivate the shield generator while the Rebel fleet emerged from hyperspace to destroy the station. Unlike the previous Death Star, whose reactor core was accessible only from a two-meter wide exhaust port, the second Death Star's heart had to be destroyed by actually flying into the superstructure and detonating the collosal power plant.
The commando team was waylaid by Imperials and the Rebel fleet arrived to find the deflector shield intact. Worse yet, the superlaser was operational, and began destroying Rebel Mon Calamari cruisers with each blast. General Lando Calrissian came up with a daring and foolhardy tactic to engage the Imperial fleet at point-blank range, thus limiting the Death Star's available targets.
Aided by the native Ewoks of Endor, the Rebels were able to infiltrate and destroy the shield generator complex. With the shield down, General Calrissian led the Alliance starfighters into the inner recesses of the Death Star. There, he and Wedge Antilles loosed a volley of ordnance that began an immense fireball that tore apart the station.
Emperor Palpatine's body was consumed in the explosion. The Imperial fleet never recovered from the fiasco. What was to be the Rebel Alliance's demise instead turned into, the death of the Empire. As firey fragments of the battle station burned away in Endor's atmosphere, the celebratory cheers of freedom rang throughout the forests, and indeed, the entire galaxy.

Get the Menace II Society mug.A surround sound processing technology that can extract center, left, right, bass and stereo surround channels from a stereo source. Pro Logic IIx can additionally extract two rear surrounds from either stereo or 5.1 sources, and Pro Logic IIz further extracts front stereo height channels.
Multiple modes may be offered by the system: Movie mode, Music mode and Game mode.
PLII works fundamentally as a matrix decoder with servos that accentuate the directionality of the current determined dominant signal by negative feedback in the other channels. The surround channels are fed by signals of inverted phase while the height channels contain uncorrelated, ambient signals.
Although PLII works from basically any stereo source, stereo programmes can be specifically encoded for surround decoding by PLII with matrix encoding. These programmes may be branded with the "Dolby Stereo" or "Dolby Surround" logo.
DO NOT believe Eazy-X's definition. It sucks so bad.

Get the Dolby Pro Logic II mug.Zeta Reticuli I and II form a star system which is supposedly the home to Zeta Reticulins, a race of aliens commonly referred to as the Greys. This system was first mapped out by Betty and Barney Hill after an abduction and thought to be fake but was discovered by astronomers as real in 1967. This star system is key evidence as proof of alien existance.

Get the Queen Elizabeth II mug.A category of drugs that can be legally prescribed but are the most stringently monitored because of their potential for abuse and {diversion. Schedule II drugs include stimulants such as cocaine, amphetamine and opiates such as fentanyl, which is far more dangerous than heroin, even though the latter is Schedule I. While Schedule I drugs have been deemed as having "no medical value" and cannot be prescribed because they are presumably the most dangerous, Schedule II drugs are generally far more dangerous and addictive than Schedule I drugs. The fact that non-lethal drugs such a cannabis, and psychedelics such as LSD and peyote are Schedule I drugs say more about the period when the schedules were created (as part of the 1970 Controlled Substances Act, under Nixon) than they do about the actual danger of the drugs.
Dr. Feldman's ability to prescribe Schedule II drugs was suspended after the DEA noticed he was prescribing thousands of Percocets at a time to six buxom women he knew from Temple.

So, let's see...
Ignore the warnings of the scientific community: check.
Disregard evidence from the experience of other countries: check
Claim victory over the disease prematurely despite evidence to the contrary: check
Down-play the very real possibility of disease resurgence based on modelling analysis: check
Distort the facts in evidence in deference to political rather than ethical motives: check
Berate, disparage and demonize any dissenting opinion, opposition or critical analysis: check
