I applied online and the process took 4+ weeks - interviewed at Eze Software in September 2013.
Interview Details Saw the posting on college career website. Applied online and was contacted by HR less than a week. A phone interview was set up by a recruiter. On the day of the 1st phone interview the recruiter was running late and had to move the interview to the next day. She was still late in calling me the next day. The phone interview was pretty standard, just getting to know me and walking the recruiter through my resume. She then told me should we contact me the following week to set up a Skype interview. She didn't contact me for two weeks after the first phone interview. It seemed to me they didn't follow an exact timeline or even uphold to honoring the time you give them because of the late phone calls I got. My pet peeve is being on time when it comes to giving an interview.
I then had a Skype interview with two hiring managers. They called me 20 minutes after the original time the interview was to take place. That turned me off right away. They apologized and told me my interview would still take 1 hr and give me the extra time I needed. They only gave me 40 minutes. Most of the questions given were about the company and behavioral questions. Both interviewers made me feel like I was wasting their time. They also made it seem the only way to advance in the company was to forever stay in your department. They seemed to be against anyone wanting to continue their education on their own time. When I ended the interview with them I realized the company was not for me.
If you're looking to stay with this program and company for the long run then this might be the place for you. If you're thinking about going back to school in the future and obtaining an Masters then this program is not for you.

I applied online and the process took 5 weeks - interviewed at Eze Software in July 2013.
Interview Details Applied online, contacted by HR within a couple days to set up a phone screen. Phone screen only took about 10 minutes, pretty standard going over resume and why you are interested in finance/technology.
First round in person interview: First I had to fill out a 13 question application online, which was actually helpful because it allowed me to collect a lot of my thoughts about my experiences ahead of time. In the interview I met with two managers from Connectivity and one from QA, all want to know why you like Eze and finance/technology. More going over resume experiences. Most interviewers will give you logic problems, they want to hear you as you solve it to understand your reasoning.
Was contacted that I had been moved into the position of a QA Analyst (the Leadership Development Program has two options, the other is Connectivity Consultant). Met with two QA managers at once, very similar interview to the first round in terms of going over resume/logic questions. Then met with head of QA- no logic questions but a lot of tough behavioral questions, be prepared with a lot of examples from your school/work experience. Lastly, I met with the co-president. More resume review and logic problems but I think the main point of this interview was to see if you could hold your own with the higher-ups of the company.
Another tip, they leave a good amount of time for you to ask questions so make sure you have some ready to go.
Overall, it was a very good interview experience. The interviewers were friendly, seemed happy with the company, and HR did a great job of communicating next steps.
Interview Question – There were a lot of logic problems/brainteasers but not too difficult, some of the behavioral ones were tougher -- something along the lines of when did you make an error that let a team down. Answer Question

Interview Details It's a multi-part interview process with not only the HR rep but also higher up analysts/software engineers. They will ask you the basics (profile questions, background, why you want to work there, etc.) & then pretty much end with a logic question (they seem to recycle the same ones).

Difficult Interview
I applied online and the process took 4+ weeks - interviewed at Eze Software in June 2013.
Interview Details I applied through Craigslist and received an email the next day for a phone interview. The phone interview was very short (lasted only 12 minutes). The recruiter asked why I was interested in financial software, consulting, and eze. She didn't ask me any questions about my previous experiences so I thought I wouldn't be moving on. But I got an email for a round 1 interview a few days later. Before the first round interview, I had to fill out a very long form called Online Questions with questions such as what are your 3 biggest strengths/weaknesses, describe a time when you took initiative, etc. Definitely allow yourself a few hours to fill out this form because they will use these questions and answers to interview you.
The first round interview consists of three 45-minute interviews with someone from QA and two from connectivity. The one from QA asked two logic questions which were posted on here. Do your research beforehand so it doesn't catch you off guard. Like I said before, the interview questions are based on the form your filled out prior to the interview. Some of the interesting questions I got from the other two interviewers were "tell me something that's not on your resume" and "if you make a mistake in front of a client, how would you handle the situation?"
I didn't hear back for a week and decided to follow up and I was invited for the second round interview. This time, I met with people in senior positions from the QA side. I was given two logic question that weren't posted here but I worked my way through the problem. During this round, the interviewers focused more on my interests and why I am interested in the financial software industry.
I didn't hear back for a week and decided to contact them again. I didn't get a response until 2 weeks later.
Interview Question – What do you know about us?
Logic questions:

I applied online and the process took 4+ weeks - interviewed at Eze Software in June 2013.
Interview Details The position was posted on my college's career services network. I applied for the program on Eze's website about 2 weeks before the deadline. A week later, I received an email from someone who I assumed was a recruitment manager scheduling an 30 minute phone interview. The interviewer called me 15 minutes late on the day of the interview, introduced herself to me, and proceeded to ask me a series of basic get-to-know-you type questions. I had no idea how the interview went - the woman didn't sound like she was smiling or even really engaged in our conversation. I thought several times that she might ask a follow up question about something I had just said, but she just moved right on to the next question and didn't seem to follow any logical order. The phone interview kind of turned me off to the firm - it seemed way too impersonal, as though I was just another name to interview and they didn't really care one way or another how it went. The interview lasted probably less than 20 minutes out of the allotted 30.
I received an email about a week later from the same woman who had originally emailed me (not the phone interviewer) telling me that they would like to set up a 1-hour Skype interview. I gave them my user ID and this time they called in right on time. The two guys who interviewed me were extremely nice. They had both come through the LDP, but they worked at the NY office, not the Boston one that I was interviewing for. I spoke with each for about 20-25 minutes. They asked me a series of behavioral type questions and, since I don't have a technical or software-based background, asked me what drew me to apply for Eze and what I hoped to accomplish in 3-5 years as a result of coming through the LDP. I asked them questions about what they loved about Eze and what they had done before coming to the firm. When they both told me that they'd never worked anywhere else, it seemed to me that accepting a position in the LDP with Eze would mean being with the firm for a significant amount of time and not being in contact with clients or many other people for a large chunk of it. Although the two young men who interviewed me seemed very happy in their positions with Eze, I hung up the Skype call not sure if I actually wanted the position anymore. If you're looking for a program that will give you a foothold into long-term and growth-oriented employment with the firm, then this is the right program for you.

Li Bai (701[1]–762), also known as Li Po, was a Chinese poet acclaimed from his own day to the present as a genius and romantic figure who took traditional poetic forms to new heights. He and his friend Du Fu (712–770) were the two most prominent figures in the flourishing of Chinese poetry in the mid-Tang Dynasty that is often called the "Golden Age of China".
Around a thousand poems attributed to him are extant, thirty-four in the canonical 18th-century anthology Three Hundred Tang Poems. The poems were models for celebrating the pleasures of friendship, the depth of nature, solitude, and the joys of drinking wine. Among the most famous are "Waking from Drunkenness on a Spring Day", "The Hard Road to Shu", and "Quiet Night Thought", which appears frequently in school texts in China today. Legend holds that Li drowned when he reached from his boat to grasp the moon's reflection in the river.
Name variants[edit]
Names | |
Chinese: | 李白 |
Pinyin: | Li Bai or Li Bo |
Zi (字): | Taibai (Tai-pai; 太白) |
Hao (號): | Qinglian Jushi (Ching-lien Chu-shih; 青蓮居士) |
aka: | Shixian (Shih-hsien; 詩仙) The Poet Xian |
Li (李) is the family name, or surname; however, he has been known by various names. His given name is written with a Chinese character (白), which is romanized variously as Po, Bo, Bai, Pai, and other variants. Even in Hanyu Pinyin there is ambiguity, as Bái is the common variant and Bó the literary variant. His courtesy name was Taibai (Tai-pai; 太白), literally "Great White," literally meaning Venus (in the Chinese of the time: later the term "Gold Star" replaced "Great White" as the planetary name). Thus, combining the family name with the courtesy name, his name appears in variants such as Li Taibo, Li Taibai, Li Tai-po, and others[2]). Less commonly in English, he also may be known by the pseudonym (hao), Qīnglián Jūshì (Ching-lien Chu-shih; 青蓮居士), meaning Householder of the Azure Lotus, or the nicknames Poet Transcendent (simplified Chinese: 诗仙; traditional Chinese: 詩仙; pinyin: Shīxiān; Wade–Giles: Shih1-hsien1), Wine Immortal (Chinese: 酒仙; pinyin: Jiǔxiān; Wade–Giles: Chiu3-hsien1), Banished Transcendent (Chinese: 謫仙人; pinyin: Zhéxiānrén; Wade–Giles: Che2-hsien1-jen2), Poet-Knight-errant (simplified Chinese: 诗侠; traditional Chinese: 詩俠; pinyin: Shīxiá; Wade–Giles: Shih1-hsia2, or "Poet-Hero"). In works in which the English transliteration is derived through Japanese, his name may be given as Ri Haku or Ri Taihaku. All of these name variants, and more, with or without hyphenation, have been historically attested to. He generally referred to himself as "白".
The two "Books of Tang", The Old Book of Tang and The New Book of Tang remain the primary sources of bibliographical material on Li Bai.[3] Other sources include internal evidence from poems by or about Li Bai, and certain other sources.
Background and birth[edit]
The year of Li Bai's birth is generally considered to be 701. He was born somewhere in Central Asia.[4] Apparently, his family had originally dwelt in what is now southeastern Gansu, and later moved to Jiangyou, near modern Chengdu in Sichuan province, when he was perhaps five years old. Two accounts given by contemporaries Li Yangbing (a family relative) and Fan Chuanzheng stated that his family was originally from what is now southeastern Gansu. Li's ancestry is traditionally traced back to Li Gao, the founder of the state /of Western Liang.[5] Evidence suggests that during the Sui Dynasty, his ancestors, then commoners, most likely as the result of some act of crime, were forced into a form of exile from their original home in what is now Gansu to some location further west.[6] During their exile, the Li family lived in Suiye (Suyab, now an archeological site in present-day Kyrgyzstan) and perhaps also in Tiaozhi (simplified Chinese: 条枝; traditional Chinese: 條枝; pinyin: Tiáozhī), a state centered near modern Ghazni, Afghanistan.[7] These areas were on the ancient Silk Road, and the Li family were likely merchants.[8]
While she was pregnant with him, Li Bai's mother had a dream of a great white star falling from heaven. This seems to have contributed to the idea of his being a banished immortal (one of his nicknames).[9] That the Great White Star was synonymous with Venus helps to explain his courtesy name, "Tai Bai".
Early years[edit]
In 705, when Li Bai was four years old, his father secretly moved his family to Sichuan, near Chengdu, where he spent his childhood.[10] There is currently a monument commemorating this in Zhongba Town, Jiangyou, Sichuan province.
The young Bai read extensively, including Confucian classics such as The Classic of Poetry (Shijing) and the Classic of History (Shujing), as well as various astrological and metaphysical materials which the Confucians tended to eschew.[10] He also engaged in other activities, such as taming wild birds and sword play.[10] Apparently, he became accomplished in the martial arts; this autobiographical quote by Li Bai helps to illustrate the wild life that he led in the Sichuan of his youth:
"When I was fifteen, I was fond of sword play, and with that art I challenged quite a few great men."
—Li Bai[11]
Before he was twenty years of age, Li had fought and killed several men, apparently for reasons of chivalry, in accordance with the knight-errant tradition (youxia).[10]
In 720, he was interviewed by Governor Su Ting, who considered him a genius. Though he expressed the wish to become an official, he never took the civil service examination.
On the way to Chang'an[edit]
In his mid-twenties, about 725, Li Bai left Sichuan, sailing down the Yangzi River, through Dongting Lake, to Nanjing, beginning his days of wandering. He then went back up-river, to Yunmeng, in what is now Hubei, where his marriage to the granddaughter of a retired Prime Minister, Xu Yushi, seems to have formed but a brief interlude.[12] During the first year of his trip, he met celebrities and gave away much of his wealth to needy friends.
In 730, Li Bai stayed in the Zhongnan Mountain near the capital Chang'an (Xi'an), and tried but failed to secure a position. He sailed down the Yellow River, stopped by Luoyang, and visited Taiyuan before going home.
In 735, Li Bai was in Shanxi, where he intervened in a court martial against Guo Ziyi, who was later, after becoming one of the top Tang generals, to repay the favour, during the An Shi disturbances.[9]
By perhaps 740, he had moved to Shandong. It was in Shandong, at this time, that he became one of the group known as the "Six Idlers of the Bamboo Brook", an informal group dedicated to literature and wine.[9]
He wandered about the area of Zhejiang and Jiangsu, eventually making friends with a famous Daoist priest, Wu Yun.[9]
In 742, Wu Yun was summoned by the Emperor to attend the imperial court, where his praise of Li Bai was great.[9]
At Chang'an[edit]
Wu Yun's praise of Li Bai led the Emperor Xuanzong (born Li Longji and also known as Emperor Minghuang) to summon Li to the court in Chang'an. Li's personality fascinated the aristocrats and common people alike, including another Taoist (and poet) He Zhizhang who bestowed upon him the nickname "the Transcendent dismissed from the Heaven", or "Immortal Exiled from Heaven".[9] Indeed, after an initial audience, where he was questioned upon his political views, the Emperor was so impressed that he held a big banquet in his honor. At this banquet the Emperor was said to show his favor, even to the extent of personally seasoning his soup for him.[9][13]
Emperor Xuanzong found employment for him as a translator, as Li Bai knew at least one non-Chinese language.[9] Ming Huang eventually gave him a post at the Hanlin Academy, which served to provide scholarly expertise and poetry for the Emperor.
When the emperor ordered Li Bai to the palace, he was often drunk, but quite capable of performing on the spot.
Li Bai wrote several poems about the Emperor's beautiful and beloved Yang Guifei, the favorite royal consort.[14] A story, probably apocryphal, circulates about Li Bai during this period. Once, while drunk, Li Bai had gotten his boots muddy, and Gao Lishi, the most politically powerful eunuch in the palace, was asked to assist in the removal of these, in front of the emperor. Gao took offense at being asked to perform this menial service, and later managed to persuade Yang Guifei to take offense at Li's poems concerning her.[14] At the persuasion of Yang Guifei and Gao Lishi, Xuanzong reluctantly, but politely, and with large gifts of gold and silver, sent Li Bai away from the royal court.[15]
More wandering[edit]
After leaving the court, Li Bai formally became a Taoist, making a home in Shandong, but wandering here and there for the next ten some years, writing poems.[15]
He met Du Fu in the autumn of 744, and again the following year. These were the only occasions on which they met. A dozen of Du Fu's poems to or about Li Bai survive, while only one from Li Bai to Du Fu remains.
War and exile[edit]
At the end of 756, the An Lushan disorders burst across the land. The Emperor eventually fled to Sichuan; then, later, during the confusion, the Crown Prince opportunely declared himself the head of government. As the An Shi disturbances continued, Li Bai became an adviser to one of Ming Huang's sons, who was far from the top of the primogeniture list, yet nevertheless apparently made his own bid for the imperial power. Upon the defeat of the Prince's forces, Li Bai escaped, but was later captured, imprisoned in Jiujiang, and sentenced to death. The famous and powerful army General Guo Ziyi intervened: now promoted to general, this was the very person whom Li Bai had saved from court martial a couple of decades previously. Upon General Guo Ziyi's offering to exchange his official rank for Li Bai's life, Li Bai's death sentence was commuted to exile: he was consigned to Yelang.[15] Yelang (in Yunnan) was then in the remote extreme of the empire. Towards the destination of Yelang, Li Bai headed with little sign of hurry, stopping for prolonged social visits, and writing poetry along the way, leaving detailed descriptions of his journey for posterity. Notice of an imperial pardon recalling Li Bai reached him before he even got close to Yelang.[15]
Return and wandering[edit]
When Li received the news of his imperial reprieve he then returned down the river to Jiangxi, passing on the way through Baidicheng, still engaging in the pleasures of food, wine, good company, and writing poetry: his poem "Departing from Baidi in the Morning" records this stage of his travels. Although Li did not cease his wandering lifestyle, he then generally confined his travels to Nanjing and the two Anhui cities of Xuancheng and Li Yang (in modern Zhao County).[15] Eventually, in 762, Li's relative Li Yangbing became magistrate of Dangtu, and Li Bai went to stay with him there.[15] In the meantime, Suzong and Xuanzong both died within a short period of time, and China had a new emperor.
The new emperor Daizong named Li Bai the Registrar of the Left Commandant's office in 762. However, by the time that the imperial edict arrived in Dangtu, Anhui, Li Bai was already dead.
There is a long and sometimes fanciful tradition regarding his death, from uncertain sources, that Li Bai drowned after falling from his boat when he tried to embrace the reflection of the moon in the Yangtze River, something later believed by Herbert Giles.[15] However, the actual cause appears to have been natural enough, although perhaps related to his hard-living lifestyle. Nevertheless, the legend that Li Bai died trying to embrace the reflection of the moon has entered Chinese culture.[16]
There is a memorial to Li Bai, just west of Ma'anshan.
Li Bai was also a skilled calligrapher, though there is only one surviving piece of his work in his own handwriting that exists today.[17] The piece is titled Shangyangtai (Going Up To Sun Terrace), a 38.1 by 28.5 centimetres (15.0 in × 11.2 in) long scroll; the calligraphy is housed in the Palace Museum in Beijing, China.[18]
Surviving texts and editing[edit]
Even Li Bai and Du Fu, the two most famous and most comprehensively edited Tang poets, were affected by the destruction of the imperial Tang libraries and the loss of many private collections in the periods of turmoil. Although many of Li Bai's poems have survived, even more were lost and there is difficulty regarding variant texts. One of the earliest endeavors at editing Li Bai's work was by his relative Li Yangbing, the magistrate of Dangtu, with whom he stayed in his final years and to whom he entrusted his manuscripts. However, the most reliable texts are not necessarily in the earliest editions. Song dynasty scholars produced various editions of his poetry, but it was not until the Qing dynasty that such collections as the Quan Tangshi (Complete Tang Poems) made the most comprehensive studies of the then surviving texts.[19]
Critics have focused on Li Bai's strong sense of the continuity of poetic tradition, his glorification of alcoholic beverages (and, indeed, frank celebration of drunkenness), his use of persona, the fantastic extremes of some of his imagery, his mastery of formal poetic rules – and his ability to combine all of these with a seemingly effortless virtuosity in order to produce inimitable poetry.
Poetic tradition[edit]
Li Bai had a strong sense of himself as being part of a poetic tradition. The "genius" of Li Bai, says one recent account, "lies at once in his total command of the literary tradition before him and his ingenuity in bending (without breaking) it to discover a uniquely personal idiom...."[20] Burton Watson, comparing him to Du Fu, says Li's poetry, "is essentially backward-looking, that it represents more a revival and fulfillment of past promises and glory than a foray into the future."[21] Watson adds, as evidence, that of all the poems attributed to Li Bai, about one sixth are in the form of yuefu, or, in other words, reworked lyrics from traditional folk ballads.[22] As further evidence, Watson cites the existence of a fifty-nine poem collection by Li Bai entitled Gu Feng, or In the Old Manner, which is, in part, tribute to the poetry of the Han and Wei dynasties.[23] His admiration for certain particular poets is also shown through specific allusions, for example to Qu Yuan or Tao Yuanming, and occasionally by name, for example Du Fu.
A more general appreciation for history, is shown on the part of Li Bai in his poems of the huaigu genre,[24] or meditations on the past, wherein following "one of the perennial themes of Chinese poetry," "the poet contemplates the ruins of past glory."[25]
Rapt with wine[edit]
John C. H. Wu observed that "while some may have drunk more wine than Li [Bai], no-one has written more poems about wine."[26] Classical Chinese poets were often associated with drinking wine, and Li Bai was part of the group of Chinese scholars in Chang'an his fellow poet Du Fu called the "Eight Immortals of the Wine Cup." Chinese generally did not find the moderate use of alcohol to be immoral or unhealthy. James J.Y Liu comments that zui in poetry "does not mean quite the same thing as 'drunk,' 'intoxicated,' or 'inebriated', but rather means being mentally carried away from one's normal preoccupations..." Liu translates zui as "rapt with wine." [27] The "Eight Immortals," however, drank to an unusual degree, though they still were viewed as pleasant eccentrics.[28] Burton Watson concluded that "[n]early all Chinese poets celebrate the joys of wine, but none so tirelessly and with such a note of genuine conviction as Li [Bai]."[29]
One of Li Bai's most famous poems is Waking From Drunkenness on a Spring Day (春日醉起言志. Arthur Waley):[30] translated it as follows:
- Waking From Drunkenness on a Spring Day (春日醉起言志)
- 處世若大夢, Life in the world is but a big dream;
- 胡爲勞其生. I will not spoil it by any labour or care.
- 所以終日醉, so saying, I was drunk all the day,
- 頹然臥前楹. lying helpless at the porch in front of my door.
- 覺來盼庭前, when I awoke, I blinked at the garden-lawn;
- 一鳥花間鳴. a lonely bird was singing amid the flowers.
- 借問此何時, I asked myself, had the day been wet or fine?
- 春風語流鶯. the Spring wind was telling the mango-bird.
- 感之欲嘆息, moved by its song I soon began to sigh,
- 對酒還自傾. and, as wine was there, I filled my own cup.
- 浩歌待明月, wildly singing I waited for the moon to rise;
- 曲盡已忘情. when my song was over, all my senses had gone.
Fantastic imagery[edit]
An important characteristic of Li Bai's poetry "is the fantasy and note of childlike wonder and playfulness that pervade so much of it."[23] Burton Watson attributes this to a fascination with the daoshi, Taoist recluses who practiced alchemy and austerities in the mountains, in the aim of becoming xian, or immortal beings.[23] There is a strong element of Taoism in his works, both in the sentiments they express and in their spontaneous tone, and "many of his poems deal with mountains, often descriptions of ascents that midway modulate into journeys of the imagination, passing from actual mountain scenery to visions of nature deities, immortals, and 'jade maidens' of Taoist lore."[23] Watson sees this as another affirmation of Li Bai's affinity with the past, and a continuity with the traditions of the Chuci and the early fu.[29] Watson finds this "element of fantasy" to be behind Li Bai's use of hyperbole and the "playful personifications" of mountains and celestial objects.[29]
The critic James J.Y. Liu notes "Chinese poets seem to be perpetually bewailing their exile and longing to return home. This may seem sentimental to Western readers, but one should remember the vastness of China, the difficulties of communication... the sharp contrast between the highly cultured life in the main cities and the harsh conditions in the remoter regions of the country, and the importance of family...." It is hardly surprising, he concludes, that nostalgia should have become a "constant, and hence conventional, theme in Chinese poetry." [31]
Liu gives as a prime example Li's poem "A Quiet Night Thought" (also translated as "Contemplating Moonlight"), which is often learned by schoolchildren in China. In a mere 20 words, the poem uses the vivid moonlight and frost imagery to convey the feeling of homesickness. There are several editions of the poem. This is translated[by whom?] from a 17th-century Kangxi edition moonlight poem.
- A Quiet Night Thought
- Moonlight before my bed
- Perhaps frost on the ground.
- Lift my head and see the moon
- Lower my head and pine for home.
Use of persona[edit]
Li Bai also wrote a number of poems from various viewpoints, including the personae of women. For example, he wrote several poems in the Zi Ye, or "Lady Midnight" style, as well as Han folk-ballad style poems.
Technical virtuosity[edit]
Li Bai is well known for the technical virtuosity of his poetry and the mastery of his verses.[21] In terms of poetic form, "critics generally agree that Li [Bai] produced no significant innovations....In theme and content also, his poetry is notable less for the new elements it introduces than for the skill with which he brightens the old ones."[21]
Burton Watson comments on Li Bai's famous poem, which he translates "Bring the Wine": "...like so much of Li [Bai]'s work, it has a grace and effortless dignity that somehow make it more compelling than earlier treatment of the same."[32]
Li Bai especially excelled in the gushi form, or "old style" poems, a type of poetry allowing a great deal of freedom in terms of the form and content of the work. An example is his poem "蜀道難", translated by Witter Bynner as "Hard Roads in Shu." Shu is a poetic term for Sichuan, the destination of refuge that Emperor Xuanzong considered fleeing to escape the approaching forces of the rebel General An Lushan. Watson comments that, this poem, "employs lines that range in length from four to eleven characters, the form of the lines suggesting by their irregularity the jagged peaks and bumpy mountain roads of Sichuan depicted in the poem."[21] Li Bai was also noted as a master of the cut-verse, or jueju.[33]
Li Bai was noted for his mastery of the lushi, or "regulated verse", the formally most demanding verse form of the times. Watson notes, however, that his poem "Seeing a Friend Off" was "unusual in that it violates the rule that the two middle couplets ... must observe verbal parallelism," adding that Chinese critics excused this kind of violation in the case of a genius like Li.[34]
In the East[edit]
Li Bai's poetry was immensely influential in his own time, as well as for subsequent generations in China. His influence has also been demonstrated in the immediate geographical area of Chinese cultural influence, being known as Ri Haku in Japan. This influence continues even today. Examples range from poetry to painting and to literature.
In his own lifetime, during his many wanderings and while he was attending court in Chang'an, met and parted from various contemporary poets. These meetings and separations were a typical occasion for versification in the tradition of the literate Chinese of the time, a prime example being his relationship with Du Fu.
After his lifetime, his influence continued to grow. Some four centuries later, during the Song Dynasty, for example, just in the case of his poem that is sometimes translated "Drinking Alone Beneath the Moon", the poet Yang Wanli wrote a whole poem alluding to it (and to two other Li Bai poems), in the same gushi, or Old-style Poetry form.[35] In the Ming Dynasty, Duan shuqing, dedicated her poem Taibai Tower to him. In the 20th century, Li Bai even influenced the poetry of Mao Zedong.
In China, his poem "Quiet Night Thoughts", reflecting a nostalgia of a traveller away from home,[36] has been widely "memorized by school children and quoted by adults".[37]
In the West[edit]
The ideas underlying Li Bai's poetry had a profound impact in shaping American Imagist and Modernist poetry through the 20th century. Also, Gustav Mahler integrated four of Li Bai's works into his symphonic song cycle Das Lied von der Erde. These were derived from a free German translation by Hans Bethge, published in an anthology called Die chinesische Flöte (The Chinese Flute),[38] Bethge based his version on the pioneering translation into French by Saint-Denys.[39] There is another striking musical setting of Li Bai's verse by the American composer Harry Partch, whose Seventeen Lyrics by Li Po for intoning voice and Adapted Viola (an instrument of Partch's own invention) are based on the texts in The Works of Li Po, the Chinese Poet translated by Shigeyoshi Obata.[40] In Brazil, the songwriter Beto Furquim included a musical setting of the poem "Jing Ye Si" in his album "Muito Prazer".[41]
Ezra Pound[edit]
Li Bai is influential in the West partly due to Ezra Pound's versions of some of his poems in the collection Cathay,[42] (Pound transliterating his name according to the Japanese manner as "Rihaku"). Li Bai's interactions with nature, friendship, his love of wine and his acute observations of life inform his best[original research?] poems. Some, like Changgan xing (translated by Ezra Pound as "The River Merchant's Wife: A Letter"),[42] record the hardships or emotions of common people. An example of the liberal, but poetically influential, translations, or adaptations, of Japanese versions of his poems made, largely based on the work of Ernest Fenollosa and professors Mori and Ariga.[42]
Modern cultural references[edit]
In fiction[edit]
Simon Elegant novelized Li Bai's life in his 1997 work, A Floating Life.[43] Li Bai appears (under a fictional name) as a major character in Guy Gavriel Kay's Under Heaven, a fantasy novel set in Tang Dynasty China.[44]
MacDonald Harris' novel 'Herma' (Atheneum, 1981) refers to Li Bai under the name of Li Po, citing one of his poems and describing the reports of his death (page 175).
In John Steinbeck's Cannery Row, the town intellectuals reads Li Bai's poetry at the party that ends the story.
In non-fiction[edit]
In "An American Childhood," Annie Dillard distinguishing "one sort of poetry" that "was full of beauty and longing; it exhaled, enervated and helpless, like Li Po," with other kinds of poems, that were "threats and vows."
In music[edit]
In 2013, Gareth Bonello (a.k.a The Gentle Good) released a Welsh-Chinese folk album, Y Bardd Anfarwol ("The Immortal Bard"), whose lyrics were inspired by and based on the life of Li Bai. The album was partly recorded in Chengdu with local musicians.
In both versions of Epcot's Circle-Vision 360° film in the China pavilion, Li Bai serves as the narrator and guide of the film.
A crater on the planet Mercury has been named after him.
Li Bai's poetry was introduced to Europe by Jean Joseph Marie Amiot, a Jesuit missionary in Beijing, in his Portraits des Célèbres Chinois, published in the series Mémoires concernant l'histoire, les sciences, les arts, les mœurs, les usages, &c. des Chinois, par les missionnaires de Pekin. (1776–1797).[2] Further translations into French were published by Marquis d'Hervey de Saint-Denys in his 1862 Poésies de l'Époque des Thang.[39]
Joseph Edkins read a paper, "On Li Tai-po", to the Peking Oriental Society in 1888, which was subsequently published in that society's journal.[45] The early sinologist Herbert Allen Giles included translations of Li Bai in his 1898 publication Chinese Poetry in English Verse, and again in his History of Chinese Literature (1901).[46] The third early translator into English was L. Cranmer-Byng (1872–1945). His Lute of Jade: Being Selections from the Classical Poets of China (1909) and A Feast of Lanterns (1916) both featured Li's poetry.
Renditions of Li Bai's poetry into modernist English poetry were influential through Ezra Pound in Cathay (1915) and Amy Lowell in Fir-Flower Tablets (1921). Neither worked directly from the Chinese: Pound relied on more or less literal, word for word, though not terribly accurate, translations of Ernest Fenollosa and what Pound called the "decipherings" of professors Mori and Ariga; Lowell on those of Florence Ayscough. Witter Bynner with the help of Kiang Kang-hu included several of Li's poems in The Jade Mountain (1939). Although Li was not his preferred poet, Arthur Waley translated a few of his poems into English for the Asiatic Review, and included them in his More Translations from the Chinese. Shigeyoshi Obata, in his 1922 The Works of Li Po, made what he claimed to be "the first attempt ever made to deal with any single Chinese poet exclusively in one book for the purpose of introducing him to the English-speaking world.[2]
Li Bai became a favorite among translators for his straightforward and seemingly simple style. Later translations are too numerous to discuss here, but an extensive selection of Li's poems, translated by a variety of translators, is included in John Minford and Joseph S. M. Lau, Classical Chinese Literature (2000) [47]
Exemplary translation[edit]
One of Li Bai's best known poems and a good example of his writing is his Drinking Alone by Moonlight (月下獨酌, pinyin: Yuè Xià Dú Zhuó), which has been translated into English by various authors, including this translation, by Arthur Waley:[48]
- 花間一壺酒。 A cup of wine, under the flowering trees;
- 獨酌無相親。 I drink alone, for no friend is near.
- 舉杯邀明月。 Raising my cup I beckon the bright moon,
- 對影成三人。 For he, with my shadow, will make three men.
- 月既不解飲。 The moon, alas, is no drinker of wine;
- 影徒隨我身。 Listless, my shadow creeps about at my side.
- 暫伴月將影。 Yet with the moon as friend and the shadow as slave
- 行樂須及春。 I must make merry before the Spring is spent.
- 我歌月徘徊。 To the songs I sing the moon flickers her beams;
- 我舞影零亂。 In the dance I weave my shadow tangles and break.
- 醒時同交歡。 While we were sober, three shared the fun;
- 醉後各分散。 Now we are drunk, each goes his way.
- 永結無情遊。 May we long share our odd, inanimate feast,
- 相期邈雲漢。 And meet at last on the Cloudy River of the sky.
(Note: the "Cloudy River of the sky" refers to the Milky Way)

Cherry Creek State Park
[ 10/10 ]
This campground was wonderful. Each site was cleaned and manicured (gravel area raked) after each guest left. The concrete pads, picnic table and fire pit were great as well as WiFi reception. We arrived after hours and found the phone options were disturbing to find a person to speak with for directions, and the website not allowing me to tag on an additional one night for the two nights that we already had booked (arrived a day early). Would highly recommend this campground.

This campground was by far the best we have ever stayed at. We would drive the extra miles in the day to get back here. We arrived after hours and was given a code for the security gate entrance. We would highly recommend this park.

COLUMBIA — Mecca. For nearly one billion Muslims worldwide, the city carries with it a deep religious history, a calling to faith in God, or Allah, and a connection to the prophet Muhammad who walked many of the streets that nearly two million pilgrims traverse each year.

Quality It's nearly impossible to find a moisturizer that works with my oily-prone sensitive skin. It's always a compromise between having dry skin or breaking out. This is the ONLY moisturizer I ever use. It's absolutely perfect. It's light and absorbs quickly and I never have to worry about break outs. I wish I could buy it by the gallon.

Congress determined that U.S. interests were best served by our full participation in the dominant system of international copyright protection. Those interests include ensuring exemplary compliance with our international obligations, securing greater protection for U. S. authors abroad, and remedying unequal treatment of foreign authors. The judgment § 514 expresses lies well within the ken of the political branches.
In December 2010, the Supreme Court split 4-4 [JURIST report] on the issue of copyright protection for imported goods. The case presented the question of whether the first-sale doctrine [17 USC § 109(a)], which provides that the owner of any particular copy "lawfully made under this title" may resell that good without the authority of the copyright holder, applies to imported goods manufactured abroad. Because of the split, with Justice Elena Kagan recused, the ruling of the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit [official website] that the first-sale doctrine does not apply to imported goods was affirmed, although the decision does not establish controlling precedent.

Tech gifts for mom (that aren't an iPad) Video
Tech gifts for mom (that aren't an iPad) Video Transcript
Hey, I�m Molly Wood from CNET dot com in for Brian Cooley with my annual Top 5 stand-in gig � the Top 5 tech gifts for Mother�s Day. Now, before we start, I am assuming that you already got your mom, or your wife, or yourself an e-reader, a tablet of some sort, or a smartphone. If NOT, then do not pass go just yet. A Kindle, pre-loaded with 50 Shades of Gray, always going to be a winner. iPad or Kindle Fire, no brainer. Smartphone? Must. Have. But that list gets kind of old, so I put together a list of five OTHER ideas that I know will be a hit with the ladies. Well, four other ideas and one smartphone. Coming in at number five � The Nokia Lumia 900 Just in case she doesn�t have a smartphone, or is ready for a new one, I think the Lumia 900 is a stylish and different choice-- it�s not an iPhone, and it�s not as EXPENSIVE as an iPhone, either. It�s 99 bucks, it�s good looking and it�s super easy to use in a way that�s great for a new smartphone user. And it�s a good bet your mom isn�t a total app freak, so as long as it�s got Angry Birds, it�s good to go! Don�t worry, it has Angry Birds. Mom phone! Coming in at number 4, it�s the Bose Quiet Comfort 15 noise- canceling headphones. If your mom is a commuter, she travels a lot, or she just needs some instant alone time, these headphones are like the new Calgon � they take you away. They�re comfortable, their active noise-canceling tech removes outside distractions, and they really do sound amazing. Plus, they�re stylish, so you don�t look like dork -- but you do give off a strong �leave me alone� vibe. Perfect. They�re not as compact as in-ear buds, of course, and at 300 bucks, are they are NOT cheap. But trust me, I just took my first trans-Atlantic flight with these babies, and I would have paid double for them. It�s like your own personal cone of silence. Number three on the list � the Jawbone Jambox. iPhone and iPod speaker docks are always a great gift idea, and the Jambox takes the concept to the next level. It�s a super stylish little Bluetooth speaker that actually sounds pretty good. It comes in multiple colors -- everyone who sees this thing falls in love with it. And it�s so portable that you can use it anywhere in the house -- like for streaming relaxing music while you�re taking a nice long bubble bath -- or out in the garden, or even on weekend getaways. It�s not cheap, but � well. You want mom to feel appreciated, don�t you? At number 2, get her an Apple TV 2! Roku is usually our favorite connected TV gift, but let�s face it, iTunes has SO much content � even Game of Thrones episodes, and all those movies � and it is so easy to use and attractive. Plus, it can stream music, video, and pictures from an iPhone or iPad, and it has Netflix and a couple of other video streaming services. If you�ve already bought a lot of iTunes content, especially, this 99 bucks is totally worth it. Before I get to my number one mom pick of the year, I have to give you a little advice to stay out of trouble. Here are some tech gifts NOT to get mom this year. Don�t get her a pink gadget. No pink cell phones or digital camera � if you think she wants something cute and pink, get a cell phone case. Or a kitten. Digital picture frames are over. They are complicated and annoying and no one ever updates the pictures on them. Don�t bother. Do NOT get her a WiFi scale, and you shouldn�t even have to ask why not. And I�m sure it SEEMS like a good idea, but don�t get her a Roomba. You know what she�d rather have? A cleaning lady. And with that, let�s get to my top pick for Mother�s Day tech this year � The Nest thermostat I know, a thermostat sounds like a crazy gift. But women are GOING crazy for this thing. CNET Editor in Chief AND MOM Lindsey Turrentine gave it a perfect five star review. Because why? It looks gorgeous in your house, it does cool little things like report the weather and show you exactly how much energy you use in pretty little charts. And it�s networked, which means you can control the weather in your own home from your phone, whether you�re snuggled under the covers or in a boring meeting at work. Trust me. Nest thermostat. It�s the bomb. You can install it for her, too. And that�s it for this year, everyone. Find all the CNET Top 5 videos at CNETTV dot com and happy Mother�s Day!

Cedar Rapids Weather
Former Hawkeye Ryan Bowen Is NBA Frequent-FlierBy Mike Hlas and Scott Saville, Reporters
MEMPHIS, Iowa — It was almost surprising Ryan Bowen even knew what city he was in on Saturday night.
The former Iowa Hawkeyes basketball player is an assistant coach for the NBA's Denver Nuggets. On Wednesday, he was here in Memphis to scout the Grizzlies as they played Philadelphia. On Thursday, he was in Oklahoma City to scout Dallas as the Mavericks played the Thunder. On Friday, Bowen was with the Nuggets as they played at Dallas. And on Saturday, he was back in Memphis when Denver lost to the Grizzlies at FedEx Forum, 81-72. When is this man at home in Denver? "I wasn't in December, not a whole lot," he said. The Nuggets played 10 of their 15 December games on the road, and 22 of their first 32 this season. January will be better. Bowen spends more time on the road than the team, since he is one of three Nuggets coaches who rotate as advance scouts, watching the teams Denver will soon play. "I'll stay with the team 75 percent of the time," he said. "I think I've missed seven or eight of our games so far this year." When Bowen is with the Nuggets, he works with players before games, and before and after practices. Ninety minutes before the game here Saturday, Bowen was on the court throwing different kinds of passes to Denver players to set them up for pull-up jumpers. At 37, he still looked like a player himself. Bowen played 507 NBA games spread over 10 seasons between 1999 and 2009, the first five of them with the Nuggets. Before that, he had a 120-game career that made him one of the most-beloved Iowa players in the minds of Hawkeye fans. He averaged 14.4 points and 8.7 rebounds in his senior season, 1997-98. He is Iowa's all-time career leader in steals, is fourth in blocked shots, and eighth in rebounds. He was a player who hustled, which had a lot to do with why he kept a playing job in the NBA for so long though he never averaged as much as five points per game in a season. Bowen was in the middle of his second season as the video coordinator for Fran McCaffery's Iowa program when the Nuggets offered him a job last December. "I just think it was too good an opportunity to pass up," he said, "getting in the NBA and getting the chance to work on court with the guys. Being the video coordinator at Iowa, I wasn't able (by NCAA rules) to work with the guys. I wanted to do that while I was still somewhat young, more of a hands-on approach working with them rather than from afar. "I do enjoy it. It's weird that three years ago I was here playing with these guys. A lot of times I wonder 'How in the world did I do this?' These guys are so good. You see how strong these guys are, how talented they are, yet not too long ago I was playing at this level."

Gwinnett Daily Post
ELMIRA, NY -- Evan Barlow's overtime goal lifted the Elmira Jackals past the Gwinnett Gladiators 3-2 Wednesday night at First Arena.
The Gladiators (5-3-2-1) next head to Toledo for a Friday/Saturday matchup with the Walleye before heading to Chicago to wrap up their four game road trip.
Jackals (5-4-0-0) forward Artem Demkow scored his eighth goal of the season in first period on the powerplay, beating Marc Cheverie with a one-timer to put Elmira up 1-0 through 20 minutes. The opening period saw only 15 combined shots from both teams, seven coming from the Gladiators.
In the second, the Gladiators tied things up on a powerplay one-timer by Brad Miller. His third goal from Kashirsky and Milo at 12:45 came on a terrific set-up, as Miller blasted a slapper past Brian Stewart from the near dot.
Elmira regained the lead on a Mike Ratchuk tally at 17:28, but the Gladiators again answered late in the period on the powerplay. Joey Haddad extended his point streak to four games as Helfrich and Bartlett set him up for the one-timer, and Haddad buried it past Stewart from the near side with just 29.4 seconds left in the period.
The Gladiators were unable to capitalize on a couple powerplay chances in the third, and Elmira made them pay in overtime. Just 1:28 into the extra period Evan Barlow beat Cheverie from in close to seal a 3-2 Elmira win. Stewart got the win for the Jackals stopping 32 shots, while Cheverie made 22 saves in a losing effort. Gwinnett went 2-for-6 on the powerplay, while Elmira went 1-for-4.

Facebook lawsuit settlement worth $20 million, or about $10 per user
January 28, 2013 - 10:47 am
Emails detailing a $20 million lawsuit settlement by Facebook over the use of user photos in sponsored stories continue to land in people's inboxes, according to multiple reports.
However, if too many people file claims, no one will get paid.
According to Geekosystem, Facebook users who may be a party to the class-action suit, which was settled in December, may be able to claim $10 as part of the suit. However, according to the email, if too many people make claims, payouts could become "economically infeasible."
In that event, the settlement details that the payment will be made to a series of non-profit organizations.

We've been on quite a run following the antics of Lethal Performance as they've torn into brand-new Mustang GTs and Shelby GT500s. It's been great watching them fearlessly go where few dare to tread, and the results have been nothing short of staggering. The GT has run low 10s and put down 700 hp to the tire. Meanwhile, the GT500 has produced over 1,000 hp at the feet and run mid-9s.
"We're thrilled, to say the least. As we mentioned in the past, most people only know of us as parts guys, but we love fast Mustangs. Building these cars gives us a perfect opportunity to have some fun and do some quality research and development on the parts we offer our customers," Jared Rosen of Lethal Performance explains. "Having firsthand experience with the parts affords Lethal the opportunity to share this knowledge with our customers who are trying to achieve their own goals for their cars."
With all that success, it would be easy to remain content. However, in the fast-paced world of Mustang performance, it's tough to cut through all the noise and keep your name at the forefront. While chatting with Jared about the aforementioned cars, he asked what they should do next. Since we were in the midst of our expansive Boss coverage, I whimsically suggested that Lethal pick up a Boss and have a go at it.
"It's all your fault, Steve!" Jared jokes. "Seriously, when the Boss was first released, we never really paid too much attention to it. As time went on, it grew on us. The more and more we thought about it, the hype kept on growing. We finally said let's do it, and we went on our search. That poor thing had no idea what we had in store for it as I drove it off the lot. It was time again to completely beat the crap out of yet another new Mustang."
Lethal obviously doesn't play, and since I won't be scoring a Boss anytime soon, I was stoked to live vicariously through this new project car. First up, I was on hand as Vaughn Gittin Jr. broke the car in by drifting it around the course at Palm Beach International Raceway. It was Vaughn's first time behind the wheel of a Boss 302, and he looked at home sliding it around the track.
"That was definitely a treat. I had never met Vaughn before, nor had I been in a car drifting. Here I was in our brand-new Boss with the 2010 Formula Drift champion at our local track, Palm Beach International Raceway. It was like the sun, moon, and stars all aligned," Jared enthused. "As soon as Vaughn hit that first turn, I had a grin from ear to ear-I couldn't stop smiling and laughing. Lot's of smoke, spinning tires, and high rpm. It was awesome and made a great introduction to the sport of drifting. I definitely have to thank Vaughn, as he was so cool and made my day."
That was good fun, but as cool as the stock Boss is, Mustangs were made for modding. Soon after the drifting break-in, it was time to get down to business on the Lethal car. The plan all along was to add boost to the equation, but the car would take a more methodical approach first rather than going straight for the blower.
In preparation for that, we wanted to try a few bolt-on parts first, so we put together a little bolt-on recipe for pre-blower fun. Naturally we turned to the lines that Lethal P carries and selected one of its own H-pipes, a JLT cold-air intake, an SCT tuner, and a Zex nitrous kit. To make all the parts work in harmony, Lethal relied on its tuner of choice, Jon Lund, to work his magic on the keyboard. For the actual wrench-turning and dyno time, we headed to Power by the Hour in Boynton Beach, Florida.
"With most of our builds, we like to start small and work our way to ridiculous, that way we can test the parts that the majority of people go with once they start modding their own cars," Jared says. "The basics, such as an intake, tune, and exhaust, are the essentials for Mustang owners, so it's a great starting point. I didn't even think about the nitrous until this crazy editor from 5.0 Mustang & Super Fords magazine suggested it, but it turned out to be a great idea."
When all was said and done, the Lethal Boss went from stock to putting down almost 600 hp and running mid-10-second e.t.'s. As impressive as that is, they are just getting started with this car, so stay tuned to these pages as they make the move to boost.
Horse Sense: Of course, testing on the dyno is one way to verify gains, but Team Lethal likes to hit the quarter-mile as well. With UPR Products' Jeremy Martorella banging the gears, the Lethal Boss 302 staked its claim as the first '12 Boss 302 in the 10-second range thanks to a 10.64 at 124-mph pass down the Palm Beach International Raceway 1,320. This feat was attained with the addition of a set of Bogart drag wheels and sticky tires, which allowed for a 1.51-second 60-foot time.
Lethal obviously doesn't play, and since I won't be scoring a Boss anytime soon, I was stoked to live vicariously through this new project car
Right out of the gate, the Lethal Boss impressed with its stock dyno numbers. Keep in mind that as of this writing, the Ford Racing TracKey tuning was not yet available to Boss owners. These numbers were as delivered with the factory calibration, and it still got within single digits of reaching 400 rwhp! With the stock calibration still in place, we added Lethal's own 3-inch H-pipe and a Magnapack after-cat to open up the exhaust system, and those mods nudged us into the 400-rwhp zone.
Since the mods were getting more aggressive, we needed to recalibrate the Copperhead processor to compensate for the changes. Lethal sells SCT tuners loaded with tunes from noted calibrator Jon Lund of Lund Racing (www.lundracing.com). As luck would have it, Jon has partnered with another South Florida company, Revan Racing (www.revanracing.com), as Revan/Lund Racing to put a chassis dyno in South Florida. It just so happens to live at Power by the Hour, where the Lethal Boss went under the knife.
As such, Jon was able to connect to the Dynojet's computer over the Internet, review the datalog files, and even flash a new tune into the SCT Xcal 3. Changing the induction with JLT Performance's painted plastic cold-air intake necessitated a tune to adjust for the larger mass air housing. With the JLT and Lund tune, the Lethal Boss headed in the right direction again with an 11hp peak gain, and it pulled harder from 5,300 up.
While putting together the recipe for this first round, your author climbed atop Jared's shoulder with a pitchfork and shouted nitrous. As bad influencing goes, it didn't take much effort to convince Jared that spray was the way. The combination of high compression and high rpm offered by the RoadRunner engine is tailor-made to take advantage of nitrous' charms. And boy, it did.
After loading a fresh Jon Lund tune for the nitrous, we eased into things with a 150 shot. We expected our rear-wheel results to be a little less than 150 ponies, but to our delight, the Zex Blackout kit over-delivered with a 172-rwhp peak gain. Even more impressive was a peak torque gain of 295 lb-ft! Oh, yeah. Boss plus nitrous equals wow!
Intoxicated by those gains, we all agreed to pill up to the kit's 175hp maximum rating. With the new jets installed, Powered by the Hour's Jake Long dialed back the timing by a degree with the SCT tuner, and we crossed our fingers hoping for 600 rwhp. We didn't quite make it as the car topped out in the 590 range. A bottle heater might have pushed us over the edge, but we called it good with overall peak gains of 197 hp and 329 lb-ft at the tire.

2003 Suburban Z71 Heated Seat buttons flashing
Does anyone know how to disconnect the seat heaters without disabling any other accessory ? Is there a dedicated fuse or breaker ? I'm worried that this problem may drain the battery or something worse.
06-11-2011, 07:14 PM #2There certainly has to be a fuse, most likely under the hood in the fuse center. I f you are not able to find the fuse I would recommend locating the connector under the seats and disconnecting them.

There is a Dodge key? What direction do you dodge when you press it? Double hitting the direction keys works great for me. Natural enough that it will take a couple of days to stop double tapping in other games. Controlling movement is definitely personal preference though, glad to see they have options.
The direction you are moving, backwards if you are stationary. I have it bound to a mouse side button and it is therefore faster than any manual double tapping.
Hmmm, I re-map movement to A,S,D,F so movement is all on home keys. And use the right mouse button for strafing. Might be interesting to see what happens with dodge when strafing back+right if I mapped dodge to another key.
Space bar sounds like an idea but "forgetting" space = jump is a new trick this old dog probably couldn't learn.
