Weymouth New Testament (WNT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 The fifth angel blew his trumpet; and I saw a Star which had fallen from Heaven to the earth; and to him was given the key of the depths of the bottomless pit, | 1 The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss. |
2 and he opened the depths of the bottomless pit. And smoke came up out of the pit resembling the smoke of a vast furnace, so that the sun was darkened, and the air also, by reason of the smoke of the pit. | 2 When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss. |
3 And from the midst of the smoke there came locusts on to the earth, and power was given to them resembling the power which earthly scorpions possess. | 3 And out of the smoke locusts came down upon the earth and were given power like that of scorpions of the earth. |
4 And they were forbidden to injure the herbage of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree. They were only to injure human beings--those who have not the seal of God on their foreheads. | 4 They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. |
5 Their mission was not to kill, but to cause awful agony for five months; and this agony was like that which a scorpion inflicts when it stings a man. | 5 They were not given power to kill them, but only to torture them for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes a man. |
6 And at that time people will seek death, but will by no possibility find it, and will long to die, but death evades them. | 6 During those days men will seek death, but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them. |
7 The appearance of the locusts was like that of horses equipped for war. On their heads they had wreaths which looked like gold. | 7 The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold, and their faces resembled human faces. |
8 Their faces seemed human and they had hair like women's hair, but their teeth resembled those of lions. | 8 Their hair was like women's hair, and their teeth were like lions' teeth. |
9 They had breast-plates which seemed to be made of steel; and the noise caused by their wings was like that of a vast number of horses and chariots hurrying into battle. | 9 They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle. |
10 They had tails like those of scorpions, and also stings; and in their tails lay their power of injuring mankind for five months. | 10 They had tails and stings like scorpions, and in their tails they had power to torment people for five months. |
11 The locusts had a king over them--the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is `Abaddon,' while in the Greek he is called `Apollyon.' | 11 They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon. |
12 The first woe is past; two other woes have still to come. | 12 The first woe is past; two other woes are yet to come. |
13 The sixth angel blew his trumpet; and I heard a single voice speaking from among the horns of the golden incense altar which is in the presence of God. | 13 The sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice coming from the horns of the golden altar that is before God. |
14 It said to the sixth angel--the angel who had the trumpet, "Set at liberty the four angels who are prisoners near the great river Euphrates." | 14 It said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates." |
15 And the four angels who had been kept in readiness for that hour, day, month, and year, were set at liberty, so that they might kill a third part of mankind. | 15 And the four angels who had been kept ready for this very hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind. |
16 The number of the cavalry was two hundred millions; I heard their number. | 16 The number of the mounted troops was two hundred million. I heard their number. |
17 And this was the appearance of the horses which I saw in my vision--and of their riders. The body-armour of the riders was red, blue and yellow; and the horses' heads were shaped like the heads of lions, while from their mouths there came fire and smoke and sulphur. | 17 The horses and riders I saw in my vision looked like this: Their breastplates were fiery red, dark blue, and yellow as sulfur. The heads of the horses resembled the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire, smoke and sulfur. |
18 By these three plagues a third part of mankind were destroyed--by the fire and the smoke, and by the sulphur which came from their mouths. | 18 A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke and sulfur that came out of their mouths. |
19 For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails; their tails being like serpents, and having heads, and it is with them that they inflict injury. | 19 The power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails; for their tails were like snakes, having heads with which they inflict injury. |
20 But the rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues, did not even then repent and leave the things they had made, so as to cease worshipping the demons, and the idols of gold and silver, bronze, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear, nor move. | 20 The rest of mankind that were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood--idols that cannot see or hear or walk. |
21 Nor did they repent of their murders, their practice of magic, their fornication, or their thefts. | 21 Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts. |

Less is more in the lessons of evolution and ephemeralisation
Last term at my son's school his year did a project on Victorians. The net was cast as wide as that in order to admit almost anything that could be described as Victorian dress, or sung to the words of a Victorian song, or wielded like a Victorian scythe. Beyond that there was little I could contribute to the project except to calm an ashen-faced victim when he returned from a museum visit with a grim tale of how children had been sent down the mines in the century before he was born.

According to Hank Aaron, the baseball player who hit the second most home runs in the history of the game, the punishment for testing positive for a banned substance isn't severe enough in today's Major League Baseball.
I think it's got to be a little bit more severe as far as penalties are concerned. I think 50 games is not enough. I'd like to see 100 games really. I think the second time, they need to just ban the player from baseball.
Whether or not you agree with the seriousness with which MLB treats its arbitrary list of banned substances, or the ferocious manner with which they screen players for use, it seems unreasonable to argue that punishment isn't severe enough given the relatively minuscule number of players who are annually caught and end up facing suspension.
There were five players who were caught using performance enhancing drugs this year. Only one player was suspended last season. One player was punished the year before that, and two were caught and given a suspension back in 2009. If MLB's testing is believed to be on point, it seems to be working as a deterrent. If it isn't believed to be on point, and it's though to be allowing many to slip through the cracks, then it's a separate issue that isn't relevant to the number of games one has to sit out and the amount of salary that one doesn't get paid after testing positive. The solution to that problem would be about improving testing, not increasing punishment.
Given the rather strong and unreasoned stance from Mr. Aaron, I wonder how he feels about past use of performance enhancing drugs, given the effect they might have had on the records to which his now play second fiddle.
In 2009, Mr. Aaron, eschewing any need for a burden of proof, suggested that players suspected of using performance enhancing drugs during the "steroid era" should have an asterisk beside their name if they gained entrance into the Hall of Fame. For players who actually had actually been proven to have used performance enhancing drugs he held an even tougher stance.
There's no place in the Hall of Fame for people who cheat. If it's proven that you took any kind of drug or substance, then you shouldn't be there. Like I said, the game has no place for cheaters.
Earlier, I used the term arbitrary to describe MLB's list of banned substances, and I think the word applies to something else on the topic. There seems to be no reason behind the definition, at least in terms of acceptance in the world of baseball, of cheating.
Look at that quotation above, and then consider that Mr. Aaron admitted to "trying" amphetamines during his playing days. Why is that fact so easily glossed over while Barry Bonds' use of human growth hormone is vilified long before rules were in place to actually ban the use of such substance? And that's also not even beginning to question which chemical compound is likely to have more of an impact in enhancing performance.
I think that this level of hypocrisy and arbitrary finger pointing is what bothers me the most with this issue. Some substances are labelled as being bad and some, which stand to artificially enhance performance just as much, if not more, aren't labelled at all. The arbitrariness of it all allows us to completely forgive a baseball player, like Marcus Stroman, who claims to have mistakenly taken one of those crazy and sciencey substances that can be found in nasal sprays, while tarring and feathering another player, like Melky Cabrera, who obviously injected testosterone created by the devil's ball sweat into his blood while selling Beelzebub his soul in order to attain a bigger contract.
But again, even if you disagree with my opinion on the moral ambiguity that the arbitrary assigning of severity to random substances creates, I still don't see how you can reasonably side with Mr. Aaron that punishments for getting caught need to be even more severe. In terms of the percentage of all the players who made Major League Baseball appearances this season, such a small amount actually test positive. It seems far more likely to me that Mr. Aaron hasn't thought this threw and instead has merely taken a self-serving stance that further distances himself from those accused of and caught using, so as to make himself appear more clean than those whose legacies will compete with his.

The quantity of Puritan literature offers an importune call for an annotated bibliography that can assist interested researchers in locating citation data and thematic information. Robert Martin's A Guide to the Puritans is a response to such a need. The work is a bibliographic guide edited for ministers by a pastor (ix). A Guide to the Puritans attempts to navigate the myriad of Puritan sources and help the reader identify citation information based upon a thematic and scriptural indexing system for ministerial or devotional purposes.
Edited by Robert P. Martin, pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church, in Seattle, Washington, A Guide to the Puritans reflects current interest in Puritan scholarship and the desire to integrate Puritan theology into contemporary ministry. The book is in two major sections: a topical index using theological terminology and a scriptural index that cites specific biblical texts within the Puritan literature. In both cases, ministers and teachers will appreciate the book as a resource in locating illustrative material for homiletical or pedagogical purposes. The editor offers a brief biographical bibliography on entrants, in addition to an index listing of particular sermons that could be of pastoral help (funerals, ordinations). The guide concludes with a full bibliographic essay of all works cited. The general structure of the book offers the reader a quick and logical identification of several suggested Puritan sources under a desired theological theme, biblical passage, or ministerial need. In this regard, the guide is straightforward and simple to understand.
Indexing Puritan literary sources for ministerial purposes is a difficult undertaking at best. This frustration is readily shared by the editor in the preface to the guide (ix), where he openly identifies with those ministers who desire to use Puritan narrative material within their ministries, but feel the tension of locating such material, either because of time constraints or a lack of familiarity with the literature itself. The editor offers a brief explanation of his inclusion rationale and organizational strategy in the preface.
Several points for consideration emerged in the review of this. First the title of the work, A Guide to the Puritans, can create a misunderstanding in terms of the definition of Puritan. Due to the ministerial nature and intent of the guide, the editor has chosen to limit citation to only those works which are currently available in print (x). He graciously acknowledges that a more comprehensive review is needed, but outside the purview of his own ability. Readers expecting a full treatment of Puritanism should recognize this limitation. It might be better to subtitle or retitle the book to take this reality into perspective.
Second, the definitional problem of the term Puritan immediately surfaces in light of the list of writers included under the canopy of "Puritan." The editor opts for a broader, more theological understanding that encompasses more than the English and American Puritans associated with the sixteenth and seventeenth century. The definition of Puritanism as an historical movement vis-a-vis a broader theologically oriented tradition may create confusion and misunderstanding as to the nature and scope of this guide. This reviewer expected greater, more comprehensive interaction with the historical, social, cultural, and non-homiletic literary material associated with Puritanism based upon titular nomenclature. In contrast, the guide is rather expansive in its inclusion of many later authors in the greater Reformed tradition (e.g., C. Hodge, Warfield, Pink, Machen), yet self-limited by the exclusion of rarer, out-of-print manuscripts in the truer, historic Puritan vein. Historical "purists" may argue the notation of a modern Puritan (x) as an open-ended question worth scholarly debate. The absence or minimal citation of such Puritan notables as John Cotton, the Mathers, or William Perkins further exacerbates the concern raised by the title. Again, this is due largely to the limitation of available sources in print today and the editor's ministerial vis-a-vis scholastic intentions. Citing the editor,
Second, with reference to the older writers, I have limited my efforts to recently republished works. Many valuable works, of course, have not reappeared in our day, but are available only in libraries and private collections. I have not tried to include any such items (x).
The editor makes it quite clear in the preface that there is a real decision-making tension in bibliographic inclusion and exclusion, and graciously advises the reader of this tension in advance with several disclaimers. With this in view, the title of the book should be rephrased in such a way as not to suggest that this is a comprehensive guide which includes the Puritan divines in the older literature, and as to reflect that it does include scholars, pastors, and authors within a broader Reformed tradition that finds its antecedent in the historical dimension of the Puritan movement.
In terms of the bibliographical citations found within the guide, this reviewer randomly checked several citations for ease of usage. A more complete explanation of the indexing system in the preface would be helpful, particularly for readers unfamiliar with the usage of such bibliographic resource tools. Full bibliographic citation, which contains publication data, might be included in the entry to assist the reader in knowing which edition the editor was working with when he made the inclusion. The myriad of reprints and editions of Puritan literature compound the problem—to say nothing of the speed with which the cited works return to out-of-print status. The editor does include a full bibliography of works at the conclusion of the guide, but it is inconvenient for the reader to jump between the citation proper and the full bibliography. When the editor offers annotations of citation information, the reviewer found it informative and helpful. Future editions might consider additional abstraction, annotation, and background commentary. That would be especially helpful for those users who lack familiarity with the cited work and need greater direction in locating data. It is important to observe that the editor did opt to use full, albeit lengthy, titles in the bibliography. As pointed out in the preface, the titles often function as table-of-contents and are very helpful in understanding authorial intent. Most bibliographies would edit such titles and deprive the reader of the richness the author intended.
Recognizing the limitations and selectivity of any bibliographic resource, a general bibliography of Puritan secondary materials as background assistance would be a welcome inclusion, particularly for novices who are wading into the sea of Puritan literature for the first time. The editor includes many of such works in the full bibliography at the conclusion of the guide. However, the concluding bibliography should be organized in such a way as to assist the user in distinguishing primary from secondary materials. The full bibliography at the conclusion of the guide should have better organization. Furthermore, a brief biographical sketch of authors who are cited in the guide could be helpful to those unfamiliar with the Puritan author and assist in contextualizing the cited work. The editor includes a "biographical sketch" of included authors (451-62), but refers the reader to other works rather than offering biographical information within the guide proper (cf. Allen Carden, "Appendix: Biographical Overview of New England Ministers Quoted," in Puritan Christianity in America (Grand Rapids: Baker, 1990) 223-29, as an example).
A Guide to the Puritans is a welcome tool for pastors interested in locating homiletic or didactic material for use in their ministries. The work may require some patience in using and locating information, but it is the only tool of its kind available to the clergy. The editor has accepted a very difficult challenge in identifying the literature and indexing these materials for the potential reader—a task that should not go unappreciated. The work is an earnest attempt at indexing materials in the broader Reformed tradition, a point potential users should keep in mind if they anticipate a more complete indexing of Puritan literature. Readers should also be aware that the title, A Guide to the Puritans, is confusing and suggests a comprehensive guide rather than a "selective bibliography"—a phrase commonly used in the academic community to designate such a limitation. Those readers interested in Puritan literature and Reformed theology will appreciate this tool.

While Matt will be providing sustenance, pithiness, and thought provoking posts, I'll be doing nothing of the sort. For the first couple days/weeks, I'll be feeling my way around wordpress and generally not carrying my weight. I am a datamonger and an informationmonger. Last year, during "24" I blogged every episode while watching it. Over the weekend, I'll be posting some of those in their proper dates. I never posted the finale post, which seems strange to me, so I'll be posting that in the next couple days to lead into the big premiere next week. I find myself hating "24" but I can't stop. I have two cats. And Netflix. I'm married. There's more, but I'm get a better feel for YOU before telling you.

Understanding Behavioral Health and How to Access Help
Behavioral health is for everyone – that's right, everyone. From the CEO who seems to have it all to the stranger alone at a restaurant, no one has a problem-free life. Naturally, we all try to handle our problems on our own, but eventually we will all have a time of need and the question of "should I get help" becomes "now I need help."
Behavioral health programs are available to help in tough situations, such as:
A loyal, grown child of an aging senior needs extra support while trudging through difficult transitions
An involved, yet exhausted, parent of a child receives reports that his child has no ability to focus
A teenager is lost in the world wondering where and how she fits in
A master's degree graduate becomes overwhelmed by a darkness she just cannot shake

I've always loved to take photographs, but with the evolution to digital it's so much easier to take a lot of pictures and then just keep the best ones. Taking photos of wildlife, birds in particular, is what I enjoy doing almost every day. I'd rather take landscape or wildlife pictures than ones with people. I like the spontaneous nature of watching and trying to capture special moments out in nature, it seems so much easier than posing people, but at the same time not as easy to capture a great photo, in my opinion. I'm no professional and only present to you the photos that I really love. I enjoyed taking and processing them into a finished product that I'm truly proud of. I hope you enjoy them!

About Our Practice
Dentist in Alpharetta GA
Creating, Preserving and Restoring Beautiful Smiles To Last a Lifetime
- We remain dedicated to our patients as family members, providing the highest quality care and services in a loving, caring and professional manner.
- We shall always be conscientious of our patient's wants, needs, privacy and time.
- We will provide our patients and ourselves an environment that is clean, comfortable and above all safe.
- Professionally and personally, we shall constantly be in pursuit of excellence and will strive for constant and never ending improvement and maintain an intense dedication to caring and quality.
We use the latest Equipment and Technology to Enhance Your Dental Treatments
We are proud that we have the latest equipment to provide the highest care for your health and appearance. For example, we use:
Cerec: A CAD system that takes infrared images of the tooth after preparation to fabricate crowns, onlays and inlays in a single visit.
Whisper Jet Air abrasion: This allows us to treat tooth decay at its beginning, with minimal or no loss of tooth. This conservative treatment of decay means we do not have to drill to eliminate decay. Often this procedure can be performed without anesthetic.
Diagnodent: This laser reads the grooves of the teeth to detect decay. It will measure the density of the tooth structure in the grooves to give us a better indication as to the presence of decay vs. stain.
Quick and early biopsy techniques for detection of oral cancer: We use a brush biopsy technique to test suspicious areas in the mouth. We rub the area with a brush and send it to a lab for analysis. The test will tell us if there are abnormal cells present and indicates if a standard biopsy is indicated to diagnose the condition. The advantage of this is:
- No anesthetic required
- Inexpensive
- Simple
- Allows many lesions that would have been watched to be tested
- Early detection of cancer in the mouth is essential for improved long-term survival
Implant Dentistry: Dr. Woods has hundreds of hours of specialized training in implant dentistry. Dr Woods has also placed dental implants — only a small percentage of dentists have this training.
With implant dentistry we can: Replace a single tooth or do full mouth rehabilitation. This means that no one has to have dentures or partial dentures. (Ask any denture wearer about the relief from that.)
Our goal is to continue to use the latest medical technology to provide the very finest care for our patients.

Outlook Upbeat for Sheep Industry for 2014
January 10, 2014
As 2013 wraps up for sheep producers, they begin to look toward 2014 and what the year potentially will hold for the industry.
Peter Orwick, the executive director of the American Sheep Industry Association, which serves as a trade association for sheep farmers and represents 46 state associations, noted that the lamb market is looking positive for producers.
Around Labor Day, he said, the lamb market took a serious jump--up 80 cents a pound over the following eight weeks. The rise in prices, Orwick added, came at a vital time because producers needed the increase to cover the cost of production, which had risen over the past few years.
"At Labor Day, there was an all-new crop of lambs," Orwick said, adding that the sudden positive change in price actually more than covered the price of production for market lambs.
Orwick noted that another driving factor helping producers with production costs is 2013's excellent corn crop. During 2012-2013, due to the drought, there was a huge increase in feed costs, as well as inputs.
"What one was paying for hay and small grains were at market highs too," he said.
Orwick added that in 2013 the market overcorrected.
The executive director stressed that he does believe that had the sheep industry not seen a turnaround in live market lamb prices in September and October, that the industry would have lost some of its producers.

'Nutrition and the effects on health'.
This booklet will contain:
What nutrients are and how they affect our body, malnutrition, deficiency etc. The guidelines which determine nutritional health including dietary reference values (DRV), what a balanced diet is and how to maintain this, what BMI is and how to calculate it, the eat well plate, I will explain possible influences on dietary intake, assess how these influences may affect the nutritional health of individuals and I will also make realistic recommendations for minimising the impact of negative influences on individuals in a specific health and social care setting.
Nutrition is the science of food. It is about the nutrients in foods and how the body uses those nutrients. It includes the process of ingestion, digestion, absorption, metabolism, transport, storage and excretion of nutrients. It also includes the environmental, psychological and behavioural aspects of food and eating. The six food groups of nutrients include: carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals and water. Good nutrition consists of a good well balanced diet combined with regular physical activity. Poor nutrition can lead to reduced immunity, make you more prone to diseases, health problems i.e. obesity and impaired physical and mental development. Malnutrition is a serious condition that happens when a person's diet does not contain enough nutrients to meet the demands of their body. This can affect growth, physical health, mood, behaviour and many of the functions of the body. You can become malnourished if your diet does not contain the right balance of nutrients. Being malnourished does not always mean that you are thin or underweight. It is possible to eat a diet high in calories but containing few vitamins and minerals. This means you can become malnourished, even though you might also be overweight or obese. Malnutrition is a common...

Coal, Romney, and Market Noise
Wed, Oct 10, 2012 | Jared Woodard
One of the stories traders have been telling each other recently is that the rally in coal stocks since last week's first Presidential debate had to do with Governor Romney's positive comments about coal and with the bounce that Romney saw in the polls after the debate. Similarly, a stall in the price of the Health Care SPDR ETF (XLV) is supposed to reflect lower odds that the Affordable Care Act will remain current law in a Romney administration, which would be a worse outcome for health care providers (never minding the lack of clarity about the legislative politics involved in such a repeal). If you look at the daily changes in the Romney contract on Intrade along with prices of the Market Vectors-Coal ETF (KOL) and XLV, however, the story falls apart.
fig. 1. Romney.2012.Pres, KOL, and XLV Daily Closing Prices, Sep – Oct 2012. Source: Intrade, Yahoo!, Condor Options
Since the debate on October 3rd, KOL has gained 5%, which is well within the realm of statistical noise given the ETF's tendency over the last year to move in double-digit percentage swings over any given two-week period. XLV is lower by 0.5% over the same period, which is actually better than the S&P 500 (SPY) return of -0.6%. A broader theme for many conservative-leaning investment strategists is that the market would prefer to see a Republican administration because of presumed lower taxes, lax regulation, and so on. This is a perennial talking point during every election cycle; respondents dutifully pull out annotated charts showing that, over the last several decades, stocks have actually fared better under Democratic presidents. Of course, the whole discussion is of little value, since the policies of any one administration are likely to have effects on the economy and the market, whether good or bad, that may not be felt for years.
fig. 2. 1M Rolling Correlation Among KOL, XLV, and Romney.2012.Pres to SPY Returns, 2012. Source: Intrade, Yahoo!, Condor Options
Additionally, we can drill down on what the market actually thinks about this election by checking the correlation of stock returns to the political winds as tracked on Intrade prediction markets. Since the beginning of 2012, the correlation coefficient of changes in Governor Romney's Intrade percentage and the change in the S&P 500 has been 0.054. Let's be maximally generous to the finders of spurious meanings and plot the rolling correlation of Romney's electoral chances and other relevant relationships to the market – we're doing this in case a full-year correlation estimate obscures some periods in which the relationship was especially strong. Looking at this plot (fig. 2), it becomes even clearer how little swings in the election data have to do with equity returns. There has been a steady rise in the monthly correlation of KOL to the market since early September, but this was mostly reversion toward the mean level for the year and likely is better explained by changes in the natural gas market.
We hardly think of coal as a straightforward proxy for the equity market, and yet even the coal ETF has managed a one-month market correlation in the range of 0.50 – 0.80 for most of the year, while the Romney contract flip-flops above and below the zero line.
fig. 3. 1M Rolling Correlation Between VIX and Romney.2012.Pres returns, 2012. Source: Intrade, Yahoo!, Condor Options
Finally, option implied volatility also debunks the idea that the market has been responding carefully to changing electoral conditions. Changes in the Romney contract have had no consistent or meaningful relationship to the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), whether looking at VIX returns or absolute VIX levels.
When journalistic storytelling becomes a little overzealous, financial analysts are bound to remind everyone that correlation does not entail causation; but in the case of Governor Romney's electoral hopes and stock returns, we don't even have evidence of any meaningful correlation.

Chinese New Year Recipes
By Maralyn Hill, The Epicurean Explorer
The end-
When checking about the drink of preference with a friend, Michael Taylor who writes
the 'Accidental Travel Writer Blog', he shared, "Things vary from Hong Kong to Taiwan
to mainland China and within China, from north to south and east to west. In Hong
Kong, they used to favor French cognac for celebrations, but there has been a trend
in recent years toward fine wines. In mainland China and Taiwan, they tend to favor
Chinese 'wines,' which are usually made from grains, and VERY high in alcoholic content.
I put 'wines' in quotes because the Chinese character for 'wine' is really a generic
term for alcoholic beverages and is frequently mistranslated."
Raffles Singapore Sling
Taiwan Cole Slaw
Steamed Pork & Crabmeat Dumplings
Fried Rice
Chinese Sticky Cake
Raffles Singapore Sling
Since we like to start with a cocktail, it seems appropriate to feature a classic
drink from a classic hotel. Raffles dates back to the mid-

Garnish with wedge of pineapple and a cherry.
Taiwan (officially the Republic of China) is a beautiful country. We experienced many unusual dishes during our visit. Cole slaw was served frequently with many of our meals, from Mongolian BBQ to seafood or chicken.
2 large carrots
Slice scallions, cabbage and carrot into a very thin julienne and place in a salad bowl.
Keep 1/2 of the scallions back for top of dish.
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, vinegar, honey, ginger and sesame oil until thoroughly mixed and pour over cabbage mixture.
Sprinkle the top with sesame seeds and reserved scallions.
Steamed Pork and Crabmeat Dumplings
We've experienced steamed dumplings throughout Asia and the US. Some are more complicated than others. This is one of the easier recipes and courtesy of the InterContinental Shanghai Pudong Hotel. Serves 8
Combine all ingredients and set aside.
Combine flour and water with fork in a small bowl to form dough.
Divide dough in 40 small pieces (about 1-
Form into balls.
Roll the balls out on floured surface to form very thin circles.
To Assemble and Serve
Place about 2-
Using your finger, lightly brush water along the rim of the wrapper.
Bring sides up to form small pouches.
Press firmly to close.
Repeat until you've made 40 dumplings.
Place each dumpling on a cucumber round and steam until cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Serve with vinegar on the side for dipping.
Tandem Taster Tips
If you don't want to make dough, purchase a package of prepared Jiao Zi Pi dumpling wrappers (this is the only brand we have seen readily available in Asian and specialty food stores). You can substitute wonton wrappers, but they will require less filling and give a slightly different result.
If you are not going to steam and want to boil, this is how to approach it. Using a large pot, fill with water and bring to a boil. Carefully, drop in dumplings.
When water returns to a boil, add a cup of water to cool (You do not want to let the water boil or the dumplings with explode). Let the water come to a boil again and add another cup of water. The third time the water returns to a boil, the dumplings are done.
We enjoy this simple version of Chinese fried rice as a change from plain rice, pasta or potatoes. We serve it with shrimp, fish, meat and chicken, especially barbecue. This fried rice is also a unique side to serve with omelets.
squeeze of lemon juice
Heat sesame oil in pan and fry the sesame seeds until golden.
Stir in the cooked rice.
Then, stir in the cucumber, lemon rind and juice, stirring for about 2 minutes or until hot and rice grains are coated.
This is a traditional Chinese New Year dish. It is basically a steamed rice fruitcake, quite easy to make and serves about 16. This recipe is adapted from Chiff.

After yesterday's 3D Space Harrier revelation, there's more retro arcade goodness heading our way in the shape of Sega's Model 2 Collection, the first titles of which are hitting PSN as soon as next week in the US. The games had previously only been confirmed for Japan, but dates and prices for the US and European versions have now been announced. And they're cheap.
The first three games in question are Virtua Fighter 2, Fighting Vipers and Sonic The Fighters, which will be released on PS3 in the US on November 27 for $4.99 each. European gamers will have to wait another week until December 5, where the games will each cost £3.69/€4.49. As for XBLA, the games will cost 400 MS Points each and land in both territories on November 28.
This trio of classics (well, duo of classics and Sonic The Fighters) has a distinct fighting theme, so hopefully racing and shooting themes will follow soon.

17th Parallel
This mod idea has been going through my head for about 2 weeks now. It is a Vietnam War UT2K4 mod. If you are inerested in helping, please post what field you're in. Also post if you think it is a good idea.
Here is the logo I made.
24th Mar 2004, 09:14 PM | #2 |
Depending on how you do some stuff it may have a hard time against BF:Vietnam. Also, there are a lot of realism mods for UT2K3 already out there. Now, I know you want this for UT2K4 and think, those in UT2K3 is for UT2K3, but as I know, the extent of compatibility fixes isn't particulary difficult to do and depending on a mod size it may only take a night to fix or several days even.
You might need more of a description of your mod to encourage people to join you. Maybe show some of your own work [If you haven't slightest clue about how to mod UT2K4 then that isn't a very good start IMHO] or at least describe how the game will function like. Try not to use existing games in a way to describe this such as "Think BattleField 1942 meets Warcraft 3", since that often tends to leave obscured views on your mod on those two games. There is some good information on these forums on how to start a team and a successful mod as well. IMHO: I think there are too many realism shooters out there atm. Some areas need to be explored such as Shinobi's, D&D, stealth, blind fire. There isn't much of these in mod's but quite a lot in commercial games... |

Please tell me, because i would love to know your secret, why would any experienced modder want to sign up for this mod, and not the likes of other big mods like Red Orchestra? What do you offer that they dont allready have? At least wait untill you have a website up with a bit of work on it before trying to recruit.

Yes, everybody has made very valid points. Live and let learn I guess.

why the hell are you people puttin kahoona down?
i can understand constructive criticism but jack "Please tell me, because i would love to know your secret, why would any experienced modder want to sign up for this mod, and not the likes of other big mods like Red Orchestra? What do you offer that they dont allready have? At least wait untill you have a website up with a bit of work on it before trying to recruit" no offens jack but we know your trick for gettin into mod teams, first you become the dev team ballz licker then you produce some crappy artwork that isn't worthy of the mod and wham ur in! how do you think mod teams start? you think the team and the concept and everything else just pops into exsistence? no. it starts with usually one or a few people with lotsa ideas and trying to make them part of the mod. Reasons for joining red orchestra mod: -Already a popular mod so you can have ur name on their credits list -Offer your talent to make their mod even better than it is Reasons for not joing red orchestra mod: -They already have enough team members and unless you're genuinly very special at your field, the mod would probably rather have someone else do a certain task instead of you. -The mod is already made, all you would be doing is updating it -You have little or no say in the design stage, if you don't like some thing in the mod you have to put up with it what is more satisfying, being some tag-along to an already complete mod or being a core piece of an up and coming mod that helps get it off the ground. jesus don't just lay down the cusses and bring out some encouragement, some ideas/advice of your own. |
30th Mar 2004, 05:53 PM | #11 |
Well, I think my points are still very valid. I wasn't putting Kahoona down, but you have to admit Grint0r, this is your first post. Thus you are new to this forum, and from what I gather from most new comers to forums is that they are overly sensitive about the way things are said.
In any case, it does appear some of the things said here were said in a not so nice fashion, but then again try to look past that and look at the points that were made. Of course it is more satisfying to be part of a new mod team, but it's like this. Do you want to compete with a large, complete mod that everyone else plays? No you don't, and this is why generally the new mods that come up and do well are the ones that are genuinely new and very different. For example, if UT2004 just came out with 4 way CTF and 4 way DOM with a 100+ maps for those two game types would it be interesting? No, 4 way CTF is definately different to 2 way CTF, but it isn't particularly new or exciting. [No intended offense to those who are making 4 way CTF/DOM]. Anyways, the art of starting up a mod team is just more than ideas and concepts. It is the knowledge of actually making a game. You cannot just pick a guy of a street and even if he has played games all his life he/she cannot just simply be good at playing a game because of that. Understanding why games are good is what is important, and unfortunately not everyone knows how to do this. Games and mods are pretty much the same, it just depends on the level you go at. |

CS Tactical Ops Strike Force Infiltration SAS FragOps and what do they all have in common, yes.. thats right. you guessed it Quote:
not only does kahoona have ideas and concept but he has knowledge of how the game works roughly. as in its boundaries, it's limits and potential. he is also good with photoshop so he can add something to the mod, whether it's logos, huds, menus or whatever. you think optimizer from the SF team actually knows how to make the game? Quote:
word of advice solid snake, empty the **** out your mouth before you speak. and yes you will probably go whining to a moderator/admin about this, and yes i probably will get banned. |

Is this going anywhere? If not, I'll just close this thread. Sorry, Kahoona.

31st Mar 2004, 06:42 PM | #15 | |
Grint0r, I will just answer your questions here. If you wish to have more discussions with me, make a new thread. Let's not invade Kahoona's thread with irrelevant stuff. 1. Yes I was the weapon modeller for SAS UT. I am no longer with the SAS team, but I occasional keep in touch with old members. Hence my [SAS] brackets in front. 2. Look at the newer mods, such as Marble Madness, Duffer's Golf(?, sorry if I got it wrong), Air Buccaners, GODZ, Chaos UT2k4. 3. I know UE2 inside out. I can code, do 2D/3D art, design levels, use Sound Forge (production of sound). I can do everything to make a mod, since I know how every element is set up. So not only can I come up with ideas/concepts I also know how to do implement it into Unreal straight away and I can also make pre judgements if Unreal is able to do it or not. 4. I don't whine to a moderator. If I see an offensive post, why should I attempt to flame it? I report it to appropriate authorities. And if you get banned, doesn't that mean that the moderator agrees with what I say or that the post I reported was offensive? 5. I think my points are valid still. You assume that I don't know very much about the Unreal Engine or that I am just some lacky working in another mod but your assumptions are pretty wrong. Look Kahoona, just put an end to this. Say enough is enough and let people who want to work on your mod or people who give you feed back. All Grint0r has done here is to just flame my posts and not add any real substance to this post. |

Damn eh? Chaos UT is still going however. The point is still fairly valid, that there is already a vietnam game out (and is very popular) and the competition from the existing realism mods. Quote:
No, it just commanded the majority of the player base. How often can you do (and redo) the same WW2, historical battles until it gets old? You could just as well argue why he doesn't just do something new with his talent? Honestly, if you ask something like the below- Quote:
I don't see you rebutting any of his arguments, I just see you making random flames and generally making as many spelling mistakes as possible. Especially because all you did was come in here and immediately start running your mouth off... Quote:
That would be my first guess if I was a mod, but I wonder what the mods here would be. With such golden arguments, including bonus spelling mistakes and grammatical errors, such as: Quote:
Incidently, when you are banned (and I hope so), don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. Quote:
Speaks volumes about your maturity now doesn't it Quote:
Let he without sin cast the first stone. Guess that wouldn't be you. While we are at this: Quote:
So...they just have realism mod in common? Quote:

I have a hazy memory of those exciting days in 2008 and 2009 when the world was going to be remade, shiny and new, with all of the risk gone from the financial system. The way we were going to get rid of all the risk, as I recall, was with the Volcker Rule and transparency around derivatives trading. That way, no shady prop trading of derivatives could blow up our financial system again, as long as you don't think too hard about the word "again."
Anyway, how'd it work out? Well, the New York Fed, who you'd think would have something to say about all of that, put up a note today about transparency in CDS trading. Their feelings about transparency in CDS trading can be summed up as "meh, we could take or leave transparency in CDS trading." Specifically:
Data on trading activity in the CDS market paint a mixed picture of the likely impact of trade reporting rules. The high levels of standardization of trading and contractual terms are apt to enhance the ability of market participants and policymakers to interpret the reported transactions. However, the low frequency of trading diminishes the potential price discovery benefits of real-time trade reporting.
So real-time trade reporting won't cause undue problems for dealers because most CDS is in fact a pretty standardized product that can be reported on a comparable basis. There's "an impressively high level of standardization of contract terms and market conventions" in single-name CDS, including things like standardized coupons, payment dates, and the fact that "47 percent of single-name transactions and 84 percent of index trades … are in the five-year tenor."
But no one will care about that reporting, because there just isn't that much trading. This is based on a longer New York Fed paper from earlier this year, which we've mentioned before, but this graph is worthy of another look:
You could quibble with the data design (next graph I do will have three color-coded categories, "big numbers," "medium numbers," and "small numbers," and they will be interspersed randomly across the graph!) but let. it. go. Instead let's talk about the fact that for something like 1,200 of the 1,500-ish corporate CDS reference entities, the average trading frequency is less than once per day. Read more »

Unveiled in December of 2010, Notion Ink's original Adam was intended to be an innovative, disruptive Android tablet that could compete with the iPad. Its primary selling point - besides a relatively high-end (at the time) dual-core Tegra 250 processor and 1GB of RAM - was a UI overlay known as Eden, which promised to make underlying the Android 2.2 more tablet-friendly. Launched to much fanfare in January 2011, the Adam never quite caught on the way Notion Ink had hoped; shipping delays, software issues, and poor build quality led the company to sell fewer units than anticipated.
In a post to Notion Ink's official blog today, the Indian manufacturer announced a new partnership with Texas Instruments. The company indicated that the Adam II (a follow up on Notion's first Android tablet) will feature TI's OMAP44xx processor, as well as a few other TI components:
The successor to the odd little tablet that is the Notion Ink Adam is set to hit the streets in December 2011 and will be featured at CES in January 2012 in Las Vegas, according to Notion Ink founder Rohan Shravan. Hardware details for the Adam 2 are pretty scarce right now, but we're hearing rumors that it could include the NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor and an updated Pixel Qi display that allows for better use in direct sunlight.
The founder of Notion Ink has updated the corporate blog with a number of changes that are coming to the company's Adam. For those of you interested in the Tegra-2 powered 10.1-inch tablet, the company is also opening up sales again, albeit by invite only.
We've covered Notion Ink's tablet progress through a number of controversies surrounding shipping and build quality, but it looks like the tablet will be finally getting an update to Honeycomb by the end of June if all goes according to plan.
Ok, so we have some good news and some not-as-good-as-you-would-like-it-to-be news for Notion Ink Adam owners. Let's start with the good: according to the official Notion Ink blog, the kernel source code for the Adam has been released. Great, right? Now all of the custom fun that you've been waiting for is just around the corner, you just have to wait on developers to download the code and get to work.
Notion Ink is one of the most controversial companies in recent Android history - it's gone through product delays, building up one of the most passionate communities around, followed by communication issues that you could write a suspenseful thriller about (I am fairly sure there is enough for a trilogy with twists at the end of every chapter), and some of the weirdest reasons for shipments delays we've ever seen.
So far, the only communication methods available were commenting on the official blog, where your thoughts were quickly drowned in a sea of others', and emailing customer support, which probably resulted in more frustration and rage than trying to have a meaningful conversation with a concrete wall (those walls just don't get it, do they?).
With the wave of Tegra 2-powered phones and tablets that is already on its way, there lay a potential of a fragmented Android Market: those apps that require NVIDIA's new dual-core processor, and those that don't. Frustrating time spent searching the Market in vain could have loomed on the horizon. Thankfully, somebody was thinking ahead, as the Tegra 2 search engine Tegra Zone has arrived to help avert such confusion.
Tegra Zone gives you every Tegra 2-specific game in one place, including all the showcasing one would expect (screenshots, HD videos, etc.).
Notion Ink's Adam has been through quite a bit on the long road to last month's launch, including concerns over its legitimacy and policies, ordering snafus, booting problems, and various bugs, but it hasn't stopped the company from steadily working on Adam's second major software patch.
While the first update ended up soft-bricking some devices (preventing them from booting, fixable by full system restore), the second one seems to be safe to apply and contains quite a few fixes and enhancements.
Well, this didn't take long - the hackers over at NotionInkHacks.com played around with Notion Ink's dual-core Adam Android tablet that finally started shipping last week and already managed to root the device.
The next logical step and the primary motivation for rooting Adam was, of course, getting the absent Android Market onto the tablet. As we all know, those with almighty root privileges are not easily stopped, so I'm happy to report that full Android Market is now also available on the Adam.

Winter Festival Concert Celebrates 25 years
CSULB's annual Winter Festival Concert celebrates 25 years at the First Congregational Church of Long Beach when it returns Saturday, Dec. 4, at 4 and 8 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 5, at 4 p.m. This year we will offer three performances which feature the University Choir, 49er Chorus, Women's Chorus, the vocal jazz group Pacific Standard Time, the mighty 72-rank Moller Organ and other surprises," said Music's Lee Vail, who also serves as director of Kaleidoscope, a campuswide festival held every April. The music is seasonal and always of a high quality. The Winter Festival Concert has its roots in the early 1960s under the direction of Frank Pooler, director and founder of the Choral Studies Program. In its original home in CSULB's Gold Mine Gymnasium, Winter Festival featured the A Cappella Choir, the 49er Chorus, the Women's Chorus, and the Men's Chorus. In 1973, the Concert moved to the Multi-Purpose Rooms of the new Student Union, adding a brass band along the way to create more variety. Unfortunately, with so many performers, the space did not allow for much of an audience (about 300), said Vail. In 1977 the event moved to Los Altos United Methodist Church just north of the campus and, in 1978, Richard and Karen Carpenter agreed to appear with the combined choirs and the University Symphony Orchestra in a single performance at the newly opened Terrace Theater in downtown Long Beach. In all, 3,000 seats were sold for this occasion. In 1979, the decision was made to try the First Congregational Church. The three-sided balcony, large loft area, and organ allowed for all of the choirs to participate and still hold about 750 patrons. A handbell choir was added, the vocal jazz group became a staple, and brass was used from time to time. Two concerts were given in 1979, then three, then four, reaching a total of 2,800 patrons. There is a new spirit in a terrific old concert, said Vail. This is an excellent way to begin the holiday season before an audience of community and university people. Audiences are always enthusiastic about Winterfest. They love it and because of that, so many groups return year after year. It will be a wonderful way to spend an afternoon or evening with family and friends. More information is available by calling the university box office at ext. 562/985-7000. |
