Arabic Lessons
By ROBERT F. WORTH
New York Times
One dark afternoon last winter, after too many hours spent studying Arabic verbs, I found myself staring uncomprehendingly at a video on my computer screen. An Arab man was holding forth tediously, his words half drowned by the rain outside. At first all I could make out was the usual farrago of angry consonants and strangled vowels. No progress there. Then, at last, the letters lighted up at the back of my brain.
"I understand what he's saying!" I shrieked to the empty apartment, spinning backward in my desk chair. "I understand every word!"
I felt a warm rush of gratitude to the speaker, a bespectacled doctor. It made no difference that he was Ayman al-Zawahri, Al Qaeda's No. 2 man, or that he was threatening to slaughter large numbers of Americans. He spoke a slow, clear fusha, the formal version of Arabic I had been struggling to decipher on the page for 10 hours a day. Even better, his words matched my limited vocabulary: arsala, "to send"; jaish, "army"; raees, "president." I was almost drunk with exhilaration.
Moments later the darkness dropped again. The terrorist disappeared, his rarefied language replaced by the clipped, quotidian accents of a political analyst. This was closer to the ordinary Arabic I would need for my work, and I understood precisely nothing. Was I wasting my time?
Learning Arabic has been like that: moments of elation alternating with grim, soul-churning despair. The language is not so much hard as it is vast, with dozens of ways to form the plural and words that vary from region to region, town to town. With every sign of progress it seems to deepen beneath you like a coastal shelf. It is only small comfort to read about the early struggles of distinguished Arabists like Gertrude Bell, who complained that she could pronounce the Arabic "h" only while holding down her tongue with one finger, or Tim Mackintosh-Smith, who writes of years spent in an alternate world called "Dictionary Land."
But the rigors of study were a small price for the chance to catch up with my surroundings. After spending the better part of two years as a reporter in Baghdad, I was tired of playing the doltish Westerner, eyes always darting blankly between translator and interviewee. The scattered phrases I knew seemed only to underscore my ignorance: Wayn alinfijar? I'd say ("Where's the explosion?"), or Shaku maku? ("How's it going?"), and I'd get a condescending pat on the back. When my bosses offered a year of intensive language training, I jumped at the chance.
For anyone who knows only European languages, to wade into Arabic is to discover an endlessly strange and yet oddly ordered lexical universe. Some words have definitions that go on for pages and seem to encompass all possible meanings; others are outlandishly precise. Paging through the dictionary one night, I found a word that means "to cut off the upper end of an okra." There are lovely verbs like sara, "to set out at night"; comical ones like tabaadawa, "to pose as a Bedouin"; and simply bizarre ones like dabiba, "to abound in lizards." Dabiba (presumably applied to towns or regions) is medieval, but I wouldn't put it past Dr. Zawahri to revive it.
The language can also be surprisingly vague to a Western ear. I was always troubled by Arabic's tendency to elide the distinction between "a lot" and "too much." I will never forget hearing an Iraqi friend, as we walked down a crowded Brooklyn street together, say loudly in English, "There are too many black people here."
At the same time, all Arabic words have simple three- or four-letter roots, with systematically derived cognates that allow you to unfold a whole range of meanings from a single word. The word for "to cook," for instance, is related in a predictable way to the words for "kitchen," "dish,"
"chef," and so on. Arabic speakers are often dismayed to discover that the same principle is less common in English.
As the months passed, the sounds of the language were gradually transformed. Arabic's hard "h" letter, so difficult to pronounce at first, began to seem like a lovely breath of air, as if countless tiny parachutes were lifting the words above their glottal base. The notorious "ayn" sound, which often takes months for English speakers to produce, lost its guttural edge and acquired, to my ear, the throaty rumble of a well-tuned sports car.
Soon I began marching into the Arabic markets on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, near where I live, and testing out my textbook phrases. Generally I was met with a confused look and then a smiling apology: "We don't hear too much fusha around here." Linguistically speaking, what I had done was a bit like asking an Italian for directions in Latin. Modern fusha, also known as Modern Standard Arabic, is a modified version of the Classical Arabic in the Koran. It is the language of public address, and of any newscast on Al Jazeera and other Arabic television stations. It also corresponds to the written language, and any educated Arab can understand it. Arabs have enormous respect for fusha ("eloquent" is the word's literal meaning), especially in its fully inflected Koranic form; that is why Al Qaeda's leaders, like clerics and most political leaders, place great emphasis on the classical idiom.
But the language of the street is different. The colloquial versions of Arabic are derived from fusha, and they are dialects rather than wholly separate languages. Still, the gulf can be substantial in vocabulary as well as pronunciation, and takes getting used to.
One of the pleasures of learning Arabic is hearing long-familiar words in their natural context, shorn of the poisonous ideological garb they often bear in this country. Once you begin to do that, American attitudes toward the language itself, along with all things Arab and Muslim, can begin to seem jarringly hostile and suspicious.
To take a recent example: Last winter, New York City announced plans for a new Arabic-language public secondary school in Brooklyn. An aggressive campaign against the school soon sprang up, despite the uncontroversial presence of Chinese, Russian, Spanish and other dual-language schools in the city. Opponents and local newspaper columnists began branding the (as yet unopened) school a "jihad recruiting center" and a "madrassa" and demanding it be closed. For Arabic speakers, the very title of the "Stop the Madrassa" campaign — now national in scope — is bound to have an uncomfortable ring. Madrassa is the Arabic word for "school"; it could not be more wholesome. But as the school's opponents know, in this country it has taken on a far more sinister valence, thanks to press reports about religious schools in Pakistan that are said to teach Taliban-style militancy. The school's principal was later replaced after a fracas over another Arabic word, intifada, that has taken on a meaning here entirely different from the one it has among Arabs.
One has to wonder whether these attitudes have inhibited our ability to train more Arabic speakers. Although enrollments in postsecondary Arabic study more than doubled from 2002 to 2006, the attrition rate is high, and the number of students who persist and become truly proficient — much harder to measure — is very small. The government and military are still struggling to find the translators they need.
The reasons for this failure are many, and inseparable from the Arab world's long history of troubled relations with the West. But alongside them is the simple fact that even with the best of teachers — like mine — the language requires a degree of patience and commitment that verges on the absurd. "Don't worry," one of my teachers told me half-jokingly. "Arabic is only hard for the first 10 years. After that it gets easier."

That was my LOL!

Another LOL, but 10 years! - kind of discourages.
The Almighty Allah says,
"When a servant thinks of Me, I am near.
When he invokes Me, I am with him.
If he reflects on Me in secret, I reply in secret,
And if he acknowledges Me in an assembly,
I acknowledge him in a far superior assembly."
- Prophet Muhammad (SAW), as reptd by Abu Huraira

Occasional Paper No. 12, Collection Development Policies for Libraries & Visual Collections in the Arts (ISBN 0-942740-17-3, ISSN 0730-7160), compiled by Ann Baird Whiteside, Pamela Born, and Adeane Alpert Bregman, was published in time for the 28th annual conference in Pittsburgh. It contains paradigmatic policy statements from academic, architecture, museum, and art school libraries, as well as from visual collections. Tabular comparative analyses by library type of budget, collection size, circulation, and staffing are included. Consisting of 186 pages and spiral-bound, the paper features a print and Web bibliography.
Alexandra de Luise submitted an occasional paper prospectus for Periodicals in Review: A Finding Aid to Sources and Reviews of Recent Art Periodicals and Art Indexes. Kathy Corcoran, Evalyn Stone, and Carol S. Terry served as readers and evaluators of the prospectus, recommending it to the committee for publication. The publications committee agreed that it merited publication and passed its recommendation onto the ARLIS/NA executive board for its approval. The publications committee had included expenses for this paper in its 2001 budget request. The executive board did not approve the proposed publication.
I produced a set of guidelines for occasional papers authors. The guidelines address format and style.
To promote the new occasional paper, in addition to the other publications, I revised and re-issued the publications brochure. It was distributed at the registration table at the 28th annual conference in Pittsburgh. Additional copies were deposited with Adler Droz Incorporated.

DOE Hosts French Truck Executive Delegation
January 22, 2004
The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) 21st Century Truck Partnership (21CTP) hosted a delegation of government and industry representatives from France in a series of meetings designed to provide them with an overview of the Partnership's organization and activities. The visit was requested by the French, who are in the early stages of creating a similar partnership in their own country.
The group included representatives from Renault (Truck Division), the French Ministry of Transportation, the French Ministry of Energy Savings and Management, and several different French transportation research initiatives. With the continued globalization of automobile- and truck-building companies, as well as engine manufacturers, the opportunity for expanding the 21CTP collaboration with a European Union nation was recognized.
The visiting industry representatives were Jean-Paul Fayolle, Head of Engine Research, and Bernard Favre, Head of Advanced Engineering 3P, both of Renault Vehicules Industriels (Renault Trucks). French government representatives included Michel Muffat (Project Officer for Urban Transit and Transport) and Roger Pagny (Project Officer for Intelligent Trucks) both of DRAST — the French Department of Transportation; Gabriel Plassat, Heavy Duty Engines R&D in ADEME — the Agency for Environment and Energy Management; and Bernard Duhem, Director of Research for PREDIT — an organization with oversight for the overall French transportation research plan.
The group began their visit on Tuesday, January 13, at Mack Truck's Hagerstown, MD facility, where they heard the industry perspective on 21CTP, and learned about technical projects jointly undertaken with the government under 21CTP auspices. They were joined there by DOE's 21CTP Director Ken Howden together with Gurpreet Singh and Roland Gravel of DOE's Engines and Emissions Control Technologies Program. Skip Yeakel, Director of Government and Industry Relations for Volvo Trucks, North America, also attended and focused discussion on mounting security concerns inherent in the mobility afforded by truck freight in the world's economy.
The delegation members attended the 21CTP Industry Working Group Meeting held the following day, where they learned more about the Partnership and observed the government/industry collaboration in action.
The delegation wrapped up its visit at Oak Ridge National Laboratory's National Transportation Research Center on January 15. Presentations described the DOE national laboratory network and the diversity of expertise and complementary research and development distributed among the national labs, with tours providing in-depth looks at work in power electronics, engines and emissions control, fuels, advanced materials, and systems-related issues in truck safety and intelligent heavy vehicles.
Both the French delegation and U.S. participants say that the visit exceeded expectations. A reciprocal visit by a U.S. team is under consideration.

Cloak's on you: Scientists create 'invisible' object
It's not quite the Invisible Man, but researchers say they have gotten a step closer to creating a "three-dimensional cloak" that would render objects invisible.
Scientists at the University of Texas in Austin today said they have hidden a cylinder from microwaves, demonstrating cloaking of an object in free space, rather than a two-dimensional image. The group has not been able to scatter visible light, but it expects that cloaking small objects is possible.
"Cloaking small objects may be exciting for a variety of applications. For instance, we are currently investigating the application of these concepts … Read more

The Co-operative Education Tax Credit (CETC) is a refundable tax credit. The CETC is available to employers who hire students enrolled in a co-operative education program at an Ontario university or college.
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) administers the program on behalf of Ontario through the federal income tax system.
The CETC is based on salaries and wages paid to a student in a co-operative education work placement. The maximum credit for each work placement is $3,000. Most work placements are for a minimum employment period of 10 weeks up to a maximum of four months.
Ontario businesses that hire students enrolled in a post-secondary co-operative education program are eligible for the CETC.
Corporations may claim the tax credit on Schedule T2SCH550 and file it with their T2 Corporation Income Tax Return.
Employers operating unincorporated businesses may claim the credit on Form ON479, Ontario Credits, included in their personal income tax return.
Members of partnerships claim their share of the credit on their own corporate or personal tax returns.
Visit the CRA website for more information on the CETC.

I doubt it. If you want a WYSIWYG editor then you should try Nvu.
- 10-16-2006 #3
I do not wanna use NVU, thats why I am asking.
- 10-16-2006 #4
I would assume not, since that would be a fairly major change to the architecture.
You could use Nvu to layout the page, then re-open the page in Bluefish and modify it.
Just a suggestion.

Thanks for your replies Guys!!!!!!!
It seems I have to keep using NVU and wait till Bluefish development team makes it WUSIWUG.

Full-size pickup sales - F-150 best selling truck, but for how much longer?
unclej00 Posts: 3Well the F150 and F250 and F350 are different classes of vehicle. Then you'd have to include the Silverado 1/2 tons and 3/4 tons. Ford just wasn't creative about it's naming. The F150 and F250 are just differences in it's tonage. Most people do fine with the 1/2 tone, so that is a completely different discussion
Stever@Edmunds YooperlandPosts: 38,616A reporter would like to speak to someone who recently bought a used large truck or large SUV. If you have purchased a used large truck or SUV in the past 6 months, and you are willing to discuss your decision with a reporter, please email email@example.com no later than 1 p.m. Pacific/ 4 p.m. Eastern Wednesday, April 18, 2012 with your daytime contact information.
KCRam@Edmunds Mt. Arlington NJPosts: 3,538but if you add in the GMC sierra sales you will see GM actually sells more trucks
Not in 2012...
Ford F-Series = 645,316
Chevy Silverado = 418,312
Ram Pickup = 293,363
GMC Sierra = 157,185
Silverado + Sierra = 575,497 -- well behind Ford.

93gmcdrivermn Posts: 24That's very true and my preference has always been GMC Trucks and General Motors small block and big block V-8's. They are easy to work on and the parts are almost always cheaper than fords. The older Fords parts from year to year in many instances are hardly ever interchangable like the small block GM motors. Thats a real pain in dealing with Ford engines!
hackattack5 Posts: 315Thanks Kcram for putting up some real sales results for 2012. I love how the hatters on this forum just throw phrases out there like "if you add Chevy and GM trucks sales together they would blow Ford away. Well no they don't and I know you are going to say well who cares? We don't care. It all comes down to this, when you are pulling your 2 horse trailer up a big hill on the highway and a Ford Superduty flies by you pulling an 4 horse trailer with living quarters then you know why we love our Fords. :P
Stever@Edmunds YooperlandPosts: 38,616A reporter would like to speak to a loyal F-150 owner who is considering replacing his old truck.

Nellie Schofield and James Frederick Barber, a photo by midgefrazel on Flickr.
Photo # 13
My Maternal Great Grandparents
My Maternal Great Grandparents
The French doors open and my grandmother announces to my
grandfather that J. Fred is here. I am sitting on the floor at my grandfather's
feet playing with something on the floor. The man comes into the room, walks
toward me and I think, "Oh, the other grandpa". The man crouches down
and looks at me and I look up. He ruffles my hair. He sits down in the chair
opposite my grandfather and they talk. I go back to playing.
If it wasn't for the photo of my great grandfather in my
parent's wedding photos I would not have remembered this. I had to ask who the
old man is. When my mother tells me that is HER grandfather, I suddenly
remember that small "baby memory". My mother tells me I don't
remember that correctly because I would have been under two years old. But, I
do remember him. He smells like cigarette smoke. My grandmother who was in the
room when my mother and I are discussing this, tells my mother that I am right.
Much to her annoyance my great-grandfather chain smoked. He dies that year.
James Frederick, known as J. Fred was a man of many
interests and occupations. Listed as a "servant" in the household of
a retired sea captain at the age of 14, he had a life long interest in the boat
building business. He was living in New
Haven in 1898 and 1899 working for Thompson and Barber
but I don't know what kind of business that is.
In 1900, he is listed as a "barber" which may be
incorrect, as that is his surname, in 1908 he is in business with his
father-in-law at his bicycle shop, in 1910-1915 he is a machinist in the auto
repair and marine construction trade, but by 1920 he is the proprietor of his
own auto repair garage.
My grandmother told me he loved cars and he taught her to drive
when girls weren't doing that. By 1930, he is listed as a carpenter in the boat
building business. He did well for having an 8th grade education, giving
evidence to his leaving school at 14 to be probably apprenticed to that sea
In 1890, he married Ellen, called Nellie, Schofield. This is
their marriage record as listed in the RI Vital Records as follows:
BARBER James F., aged 23 years,
born Westerly, now of New Haven, son. of James A. and Josephine T., and Nellie
Scholfield, aged 22 years, born and of Westerly,
daughter of Joseph A. and Sarah G., Jan. 20, 1890. Marriage (Vol. Unknown Original Volume
& Page : Pg. 101278) Westerly,
RI [NEHGS 5 Feb 2013]
Nellie, the only child of Joseph and Sarah Schofield, had 3
children in her first ten years of marriage. She had rheumatic fever as a child
and probably had diabetes, because her second child, my grandmother, weighed
nearly 13 lbs at birth. As an older lady, she was obese.
Evidently she did not work after completing 2 years of high
school. It is possible she worked in her father's bicycle repair shop before
marriage. She and her mother died in 1944.

Definition of fovea in English:
Syllabification: fo·ve·aPronunciation: /ˈfōvēə
(also fovea centralis /senˈtrālis/)
( plural foveae /-vēˌē, -vēˌī/)
Anatomy - A small depression in the retina of the eye where visual acuity is highest. The center of the field of vision is focused in this region, where retinal cones are particularly concentrated.More example sentences
- When we gaze directly at an object, we hold our eyes in such a position that the image of the object falls on the central, specialized region of the retina - the fovea or macula - where visual acuity and colour vision are best.
- The fovea creates the most finely detailed vision for such daily tasks as reading, threading a needle, or driving a car.
- The cones are concentrated in the center of the back of the eye, at its most sensitive region, called the fovea.
- More example sentences
- Ophthalmologic examination with the slit lamp demonstrates the iris pigment defect, as well as retinal hypopigmentation and foveal hypoplasia.
- After a few months most of them had recovered fully, but six were left with faint shadows in their central vision corresponding to a small foveal burn.
- A plane visible in the foveal field from 5,000 feet would only be visible at 500 feet or less if it's more than five degrees on either side of the foveal field - hardly enough room to take evasive action.
Pronunciation: /-vēəl/
late 17th century: from Latin, literally 'small pit'.

Physiopathologie de l'infection et réponses de l'hôte à <i>Listeria monocytogenes</i>
Lecuit M. and Cossart P (2002), TRENDS in Molecular Medicine, vol 8 pp 537-542
A: Enterocyte-restricted human E-cadherin expression in iFABP-hEcad [human E-cadherin under the control of the promoter of the intestinal fatty-acid-binding protein (iFABP) gene] transgenic mice. Small intestine sections of a iFABP-hEcad transgenic mouse (left) and a non-transgenic littermate (right) immunolabeled with anti-hEcad HECD1 mouse monoclonal antibody (red). HECD1 recognizes human but not mouse E-cadherin. The background signal in the lamina propria is because of the reactivity of the secondary goat anti-mouse IgG antibody towards endogenous mouse IgG. A cross-section of a transgenic intestinal epithelial sheet allows detection of the typical honeycomb-like pattern of E-cadherin labeling. Scale BAR = 10 μm.B: Listeria monocytogenes multiplication within the lamina propria of a small-intestinal villus of an iFABP-hEcad transgenic mouse 48 h after intragastric inoculation. A small intestine section of a iFABP-hEcad transgenic mouse orally infected with L. monocytogenes and immunolabeled with rabbit anti-L. monocytogenes R11 polyclonal antibody (red). L. monocytogenes have crossed the intestinal barrier and replicate in the lamina propria, a phenomenon that is never observed in non-transgenic mice. Scale BAR = 10 μm.

So I didn't want to do Prince, and I didn't want to do Jimi Hendrix again, so I decided it was time for my alter ego to shine. I am a complicate woman, and I like a lot of things, and although I am a juke joint baby, I'm also the product of an all girl private school where I was one of only three blacks in my class, and so I have an eclectic and sometimes eccentric mix of music and styles. So check out John and Flea of Red Hot Chili Peppers on the guitar and bass during this song, Under the Bridge.

Under the Bridge
I had to add this artist after coming across his name at Believer 1964. This song always tugs at my heart because of the story behind the song. Listen to the guitar, I can just listen to the instrumentals and be moved. Eric Clapton, Tears In Heaven.

A light dusting Saturday night extended a winter season that already featured sub-zero temperatures and significant snowfall throughout the area. After relatively normal numbers from October to December, the area received roughly 22 inches of snowfall in January, exceeding an average which is reportedly around 19 inches within the past 30 years, according to weatherdb.com. February was the big difference, however, as nearly 24 inches of snow fell in the area. The average in the past 30 years is just over 13 inches for the month.

Found October 25, 2012 on
Fox Sports Wisconsin:
NEW YORK (AP) NBA Commissioner David Stern will retire on Feb. 1, 2014, 30 years after he took charge of the league. He will be replaced by Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver.
The announcement came at an NBA Board of Governors meeting Thursday.
Stern told owners during their two days of meetings of his plans, and the board unanimously decided Silver would be his successor.
"I decided that things are in great shape and there's an organization in place that will ultimately be led by Adam that is totally prepared to take it to the next level," Stern said.
Stern, who turned 70 last month, became commissioner on Feb. 1, 1984. He has been the NBA's longest-serving commissioner, establishing the league's brand around the world, presiding over team expansion and overseeing the establishment of the WNBA and the NBA Development League.
"You'll be remembered as the best of all-time," Silver told Stern, sitting to his left on a podium during a news conference.
Stern said he decided on his plans about six months ago, having guided the league through a lockout that ended nearly a year ago. He said the league is in great shape and he's confident in Silver, who has been the league's No. 2 since 2006.
"I don't know what else to say other than to recite what I told the owners yesterday in executive session," Stern said. "I told them that it's been a great run, it will continue for another 15 months, that the league is in, I think, terrific condition."
Stern is the one who got it there, taking over what was a second-rate league with little-to-no TV presence and making basketball one of the world's most popular sports.
He cited the success of the 1992 Dream Team, which helped spark the league's international explosion, but said everything "just keeps getting better than that."
"For the most part it's been a series of extraordinary experiences and enormous putting together of pieces of a puzzle and it goes on forever," Stern said. "And there will always be another piece of the puzzle and so the question is at what point do you decide that, let someone else do it? That's the point that I'm at now."
Stern was the league's outside counsel from 1966-78, then its general counsel before becoming executive vice president of business and legal affairs from 1980-84. He replaced Larry O'Brien to become the league's fourth commissioner.
The NBA has added seven franchises during his tenure.
Minnesota Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor, the outgoing chairman of the Board of Governors, said the average player salary had grown from 250,000 when Stern took over to 5 million.
The league has reported huge increases in ticket and merchandise sales, and TV ratings are at an all-time high.
"There are all kinds of other business metrics we could look at that would define David as one of the great business leaders of our time," Silver said.
Taylor and Spurs owner Peter Holt, who is replacing him as board chairman, said the owners will work to have a contract with Silver by April. Silver came to the NBA 20 years ago and served a variety of positions before becoming the deputy commissioner in 2006.
Stern said he wouldn't leave until he knew there was a successor ready, and he has repeatedly said Silver is ready for that role. Stern said he would always remain available to take a call and help the league.
"Life is a journey and it's been a spectacular journey," Stern said. "Each step along the way there are things that you have to do, things that you maybe wish you hadn't done. But I don't keep that list, and so I'm totally pleased and I'm particularly pleased with the transition of which we're now embarking."

I guess that's a name, Faher is an Arabian name, unless it's in Yiddish and then it means something like for.
Shiryoner posted some more pics from Lebanon here:
They are in memory of his friends Oz Tzemah, Ha'aran Lev, Dan Broyer and Vinon Nisan RIP.
P.S. there was a picture there of the NATO improved cross but you missed it, which sucks for you
Actually, it is not arabic. Its basically early writting, before vowels, were created. It means, pouring forth a distance of light, in accordance with, walking.A true Infantry/tanker word or varo. It literally,
means ranging etc. Only a priest,prophet or king would be knowledgeable of it though!Oops, It isn't pakhal, its pakhar. Since har=mountain, therefore, it's a reference to the sun/shemesh or to the future of zion. Sorry, for the mistake. It can also mean, a mountain trapper, i.e. emorru avraham etc.

Great thread, great pix. I love Markava the most sexi MBT on the globe
BTW. Well AFAIK the pix from Merkavas' interiors are forbidden?
Thanks for the help everyone
The helmet is used, so it's probably a name or mountain trapper?

6 Reasons Nintendo Shares Bottomed
Chris is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Earlier last year, Nintendo (NASDAQOTH: NTDOY) shares rallied on several occasions to around $19.50, only to continue dropping. Hope was renewed by early-October 2012, when investors became excited about the potential growth for the Wii U. Shares rose to $17.50 that October, but it turns out that was an intermediary peak.
What Happened: Anticipation
Investors anticipated sales of the Wii U would help Nintendo make a profit once again. Instead, the reality was more severe, but not entirely unexpected. Realistically, investors could have accounted for a weak start in holiday sales, because the entirely new way of playing games will need time to catch on.
Operationally, Nintendo failed to anticipate that the demand for the premium product would be greater than the demand for the "value" model. In hindsight, it would make sense that cost-conscious fans would opt to save $50. Instead, gamers were more interested in the premium model. Second, Nintendo pushed out an update for the console that reportedly made it unusable. This happened when a user turned off the device while the unit was being updated.
Sony (NYSE: SNE) is an alternative to investing to Nintendo. Shares are up around 50% since late-December 2012. More recently, Panasonic's profit surprise in Q3 helped ease concerns about Sony's prospects. By the middle of the year, Sony is set to launch a successor to the Playstation, and an announcement can be expected by Feb. 20. The PS4 is rumored to have a processor from Advanced Micro Devices.
Speaking of new consoles, Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) is set to release details on its Xbox 720. In the near-term, content remains something to watch with the Xbox. When Netflix made the first episode of House of Cards available for free, Xbox subscribers with Silver membership access were given access.
…and an Ally
GameStop (NYSE: GME) relies on Nintendo's success for its own success. When console game sales decline, profits are hurt, but when there is a console refresh, there is hope for GameStop. GameStop also has a market capitalization that is more similar to that of Nintendo, at $1.8 billion. Nintendo has a market cap of $1.5 billion.
(Data Source: Kapitall.com)
If Wii U sales gain momentum, investors could consider shares of GameStop. The resale market for both the Wii U and the original Wii would encourage consumers to shop at GameStop. Sales of used Nintendo games for both Nintendo consoles would also be higher.
What Matters Next
Nintendo recently forecast its full-year sales for the Wii U would be lower than previously thought. Nintendo closed at around $12.04 as investors reacted to the negative outlook for the company. The downbeat forecast creates an opportunity for investors who think Nintendo's prospects remain bright. There are a number of reasons to be positive about the company:
- Nintendo is merging the 3DS and Wii U divisions, and will invest $340 million (US) to build a development facility for the new segment
- Wii U console prices will not be cut further
- The original Wii outsold the Wii U. This may sound like bad news, but continued interest in the older product supports Nintendo's brand. Nintendo has plenty of time to release more titles to the Wii U and to increase marketing
- Amazon (AMZN) made Instant Video available for the Wii. This affirms support by a giant, and suggests that the Wii U will improve its content-based entertainment offering
- Updates in the spring and summer will please consumers
- More game titles for the Wii U will appeal to core fans. This includes the 3D release of Super Mario and Mario Kart. Details will be released in June 2013, during E3
There is no doubt that Nintendo looks as if it could keep dropping. The quarterly results included a forecast that justifies a low share price. Investors thought Nintendo would sell 5.5 million units for the year-ending March 2013, but the company now thinks it will sell 4 million, a 27% drop. In 2012, Nintendo operated at a loss of US $64.4 million, due partly to the strong yen. 2013 is different: the yen depreciated, which will help Nintendo in the short-term. Nintendo will also adjust its operations to improve sales. This means that President Satoru Iwata's goal of $1.1 billion in profits next fiscal year is achievable.

Caroline Wozniacki impersonates Serena Williams
Caroline Wozniacki is a former No. 1 player on the WTA tour.
Despite her former ranking, the 22-year-old has yet to win a Grand Slam title.
So if you can't be the best, might as well impersonate the best. That's what Wozniacki attempted to do during an exhibition match in Brazil Sunday.
Trying to get a laugh out of the crowd in attendance, Wozniacki stuffed her bra and skirt with several towels. The gesture was an obvious attempt to imitate Serena Williams, who over the years has received almost as much attention for her curvacious body as for her 15 Grand Slam victories.
Was it funny? You be the judge.

Quoted Text The KOB Channel 4 Health Fair is on (January) 23rd and 24th. I saw an ad on a bus yesterday that said there are free bike helmets for kids. So, if you need a helmet, you can go and have fun, and get one for less than it costs to buy. Just save one for me! Kids under 12 are free. Adults are $5, but you can get $1 off at different spots around town. The KOB website has a link to the data. (parking is $4 too)

Bulldogs Softball Finishes Season Undefeated in North Region May 18, 2011
The Bulldog softball team wrapped up the regular season this past weekend sweeping both Douglas College and Skagit Valley to finish the year with a 24-0 record in North Region play and a 35-1 overall record. On Friday, May 13, the Bulldogs beat Douglas by scores of 8-1 and 8-0. Danielle Orvella picked up the win in games one, and Rogin Hardy picked up the win in game two. On Saturday, the Bulldogs finished the season playing at the UW Husky Softball stadium. It was a great way to finish to the year as the Bulldogs beat Skagit Valley by scores of 8-0 and 10-1. Breonna Chrisman picked up the win in game one while Orvella claimed the win in game two. Tobey Varney led off game one with a solo home run and Haylee Baker added a home run in game two as the Bulldog bats stayed hot all day. "It was a great weekend for the team, and a great way to cap off a very impressive season for this group," stated head coach Leah Francis. "I am so proud of all they have accomplished this year, both as individuals and as a team. We are excited for the next challenge coming up at the NWAACC Championships." By winning the North Region, the Bulldogs earn a #1 seed into the NWAACC Championships, May 19-23 at Delta Park in Portland.

"Second Editions"
I would like to know what people's thoughts are on the idea of allowing Metafilter posters to make a "second edition" of a post after a certain amount of time has passed (a week?, a year?).

Deletion emails?
was deleted (not complaining; I agree with the reasoning). Aren't I supposed to get an email about this? I didn't. Forgive me if that's not the policy. I thought it was.

dimeadozen.org, a torrent site, requires signing up for an account. Would it make a good post?
I just found a site,
, that I think might make a good Metafilter post. It's got torrents of tons and tons of live concerts. (I'm listening right now to the Tom Waits show in Nashville that I saw last weekend.) The problem is that it requires you to sign up for an account, and there's a limited number of account slots available each day. Would this still make a good post?

Limits on posts for Askme, mefi
This has to have been covered before, but why one question per subscriber per week on AskMeFi, but no discernable limit (or is there) on postings to MetaFilter?
Referrals to previous threads on this subject welcomed. I did a quick search and didn't come up with anything obvious.

Metafilter is not for pyramid scheme
It should be pretty obvious that stuff like
should not fly in the blue. Using this site as a quarry for pyramid schemes is inappropriate and action should be taken accordingly.

It used to be frowned upon to post links from other link agregators/filters. Has it changed?
When I used to read MeFi regularly, it was generally accepted that you didn't post anything from "the usual suspects" such as memepool, boing boing, b3ta, etc. because they themselves are weblogs about interesting, offbeat links and most readers read them as well as MeFi. Seeing as this "
LSD art
" story has been the top item on memepool for a week, I guess this policy has changed. (This is really not meant to sound rude or snide, apologies if it's taken that way)

Metafilter is not about us
MetaFilter is not about us; it's about what we find out there on the web. If so, we should be in the background of our posts if not outright invisible, and we should avoid phrasing our posts as personal blog entries.
First example
: "I found no post ... I only post it now ... as I see in my weblog's referer log ... that's how a few people found my site."
Second example
: " I hope ... I've searched ... It has special relevance to me since I am ... Being 25 and wanting to pay off my loans, I may have ... " And
posts like this
, which are all about personal experience and nothing else, are right out.

Why was my post to badassbuddy.com deleted?
I posted a link on MeFi today to www.badassbuddy.com. It is a website that features tons of buddy icons for AOL IM. Matt took it down and I can't figure out why. Any ideas?

My post asking for advice on cults was deleted. Is there a good site where I could get advice?
I posted something on Mefi that was apparently inappropriate (OK, thinking back on it, it wasn't a good idea): a request for advice about a family member becoming part of an orthodox religious "cult" like organization. It was killed pretty quickly. Can anyone tell me a good place to ask questions like this, here on this site or somewhere similar? I was hoping for advice from the people here; after hanging around here for a few months, I'm continually impressed by the quality (and quantity) of comment posted here.

Should I filter MetaFilter (asks mathowie)?
This thread sucks
. The link doesn't jump down to the story, the subject matter isn't very funny or interesting, it's just stupid. The post is too long, the comments are pretty pointless. I would delete it, but it could create more trouble than it is worth. What should be done about sub-par links? Anything? Take the good with the bad?
