The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Ch'ien Mu
Ch'ien Mu | |
Born | Jiangsu |
30 July 1895
Died | 30 August 1990 Hangzhou South Road, Zhongzheng District, Taipei |
(aged 95)
Era | 20th-century philosophy |
Region | Chinese Philosophy |
School | Confucianism |
Ch'ien Mu, also romanized as Qian Mu (Chinese: 錢穆; 30 July 1895 – 30 August 1990), courtesy name Binsi (賓四), was a Chinese historian, educator, philosopher and Confucian considered one of the greatest historians and philosophers in 20th-century China.
Life in China and Hong Kong[edit]
His biographer sketches the "economic mold" of Seven Mansions, his ancestral home in Wuxi, to suggest that in his childhood world the "small peasant cosmos" of rituals, festivals, and beliefs held the family system together. He received little formal modern education, but gained his knowledge on Chinese history and culture through traditional home study.[1]
After teaching in universities in mainland China starting the in 1920s, he arrived in Hong Kong in 1949. With help from the Yale-China Association, along with other scholars he cofounded New Asia College.[2] He later received honorary doctorates from both Yale University and Hong Kong University.[3]
Life in Taiwan[edit]
Ch'ien relocated to Taiwan in October 1967 after accepting an invitation from the then President Chiang Kai-shek in response to the Hong Kong 1967 Leftist Riots. He was given land in Waishuangxi in the Shilin District to build his home Sushulou (素書樓) while continuing as a freelance academic researching and giving lectures at universities in Taiwan. Ch'ien retired from teaching in 1984. After becoming one of the three constituent colleges of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, in 1978 New Asia College inaugurated the Ch'ien Mu Lectures in his honor. [1]
On June 1, 1990 the then Legislative Yuan members Chen Shui-bian (later the 10th and 11th President of the Republic of China) and Chou Po-lun, both of the Democratic Progressive Party (Taiwan) espousing the Taiwan Independence Movement, had accused Chien of occupying public land as the nature of gifting the land for Xushulau by Chiang Kai-shek was deemed to be illegal by Chen and Chou. Ch'ien and his wife moved out of Xushulau and relocated to a high-rise apartment in downtown Taipei City.
Ch'ien died on August 30 of 1990, a little less than three months after being forced to move out of Xushulau. Many of Chien's supporters, including his former students and many members of the public, have condemned the practice Chen and Chou of using Chien for scoring political points against the Kuomintang which they believed caused his unnecessarily early death. Both Chen and Chou have since apologized for the damages of their accusations towards Chien, and Xushulau is now the location of the Chien Mu Memorial.
Ch'ien wrote extensively on Chinese classics, history and Confucian thought. Unlike many 20th-century Chinese intellectuals influenced by the New Culture Movement of the 1910s who are fundamentally skeptical of traditional Chinese thought and Confucianism, he insisted on the importance of traditional values of Chinese culture. By the time of his death in 1990, his objections to the rejection of tradition of Confucianism had gained wider credence, partly through the influence of his student at New Asia College, Yu Ying-shih.[4]
Critics of Chien's ideas, such as Li Ao, tend to focus on his superficial knowledge of non-Chinese currents of thoughts when he wrote his treatises on cultural studies, and his lack of objective, scientific method-based, defense of traditional Chinese culture. Wang Yongzu (Wong Young-tsu) condemns Chien's own bias as "19th century traditionalist" in his "A Comment on Chien Mu's Treatise on Chinese Scholarships During the Qing Dynasty" (錢穆論清學史述評) being unable to view 19th century currents of thoughts with contemporary (20th century) perspectives. It could be argued, however, the opposition is based upon the critics' support of the New Culture Movement's legacies, which Chien explicitly rejected.
Another recurring theme from Ch'ien's critics, from the 1930s onwards, concerns his defense of traditional Chinese political system, headed by a monarch but with the government filled by examinations-based mandarins, as a representative form of government, as a simplistic fantasy.
In his survey, Traditional Government in Imperial China: A Critical Analysis Ch'ien describes the basic constitutive elements of China's traditional government as it evolved. He concentrates upon those dynasties he considers China's most representative: the Han, Tang, Song, Ming and Qing; and critically analyzes and compares their governmental organization, civil service examination system, taxation and defence.

Jessica Szhor's Serial Cheating Broke Ed Westwick's Fragile Heart
Poor Ed Westwick—it's bad enough when your girl is stepping out with another guy, but when she's stepping out with several other guys...well, that's enough to take the air out of even Chuck Bass' sails. And that guy's pretty much unflappable.
New York Daily News has unraveled the mystery behind Westwick's improbable break-up with Gossip Girl co-star Jessica Szohr earlier this month, and it seems that Jessica was making the rounds with a number of gents. According to a snitch:
"Ed discovered that not only was Jessica seeing a close friend of his—he was told about it personally, by the guy—but that she was also seeing a few other men."
The mole adds that "when Ed wasn't out with her for the night, she'd flirt heavily with guys. It was only a matter of time before it got back to Ed." Worse, despite being caught red-handed, Szohr is currently engaging in a campaign to win Westwick back:
"Jessica is hoping she can convince Ed to get back together before people find out the full story. She keeps denying the rumors that they broke up, because she doesn't even want to believe it's true. She's really chasing him."
Maybe Ed should cut her some slack. After all, it's not like he hasn't been spotted swapping spit with a pretty young thing on occasion.

When an artist releases a song that didn't make the album, fans anxious to take a listen to the project might be disappointed. When the cut is as good as Webbz' Believe, however, it should make fans very excited, because if this was left out, the records that did make the cut must be even doper. Webbz delivers the first and third verses of the track, blessing the dripping, shrouded boardwork of producer Young McFly with an intriguing flow that's crisp, with just a touch of raspy blunted-ness. That hazy undertone becomes all the more notable when guest emcee Jigg grabs the mic to showcase his louder, more assertive style on the middle verse. If this cut has you believing in the Florida emcee's potential, then be sure to check out Pursuit of Happiness when it drops in June.

"Yes, We Are Doing This! Finally...."
This post is long overdue. My sister has been posting about our joint rhinoplasties, primarily about her 1st rhinoplasty experience with Dr. Grigoryants (post is under Yes. We Are Doing This! Finally). I am now sharing my experience as a revision rhino with Dr. Grigoryants. There was no being born with a perfect nose for me. Both my parents have less than perfect noses and lucky me I... more
"Two months away from my revision..."
Exciting stuff! Have booked my revision rhinoplasty with Dr. Grigoryants on Feb 19. I had my first rhinoplasty done in Australia back in 2007, with good results. Over the years though, it has gotten bigger and some asymmetries have started to show. Furthermore, my breathing was never corrected so Dr. G is going to put some grafts in and open up my airways. Will post a very long and detailed... more
"Revision Rhinoplasty-Dr.Grigoryants"
I had rhinoplasty about 10 years ago to reduce the hump on the bridge of my nose. After surgery, the appearance of my nose improved, but it was left too long. It left my face unbalanced, the tip was projected too far out from my face. Over the years, I have developed a tip deformity, bossea that really started to bother me. My breathing needs improvement too, my nose feels constantly stuffy. I... more
"Revision Via Open Procedure -..."
2 years ago I opted for a closed procedure rhinoplasty to file down a "bump" on my bridge that had bothered me more and more with aging changes in my face. I also opted for some minor tip changes. I was fearful of doing an open procedure thinking the recovery would be more difficult and risky. Unfortunately, my "bump" came back (to a much lesser degree) due to scar tissue and I felt my tip... more
"Dr. Grigoryants-Revision Journey"
I had what was supposed to be a finesse rhinoplasty in December 2013 with a double certified Dr. (see my previous review). What was to follow was nothing I ever expected or imagined. It has turned into a long, emotional, painful ordeal that I wish upon no one. When the cast came off, I nearly passed out from how swollen and hideous my nose looked. Instead, I went numb and my brain could not... more
"3 Broken Noses, 2 Surgeries + One..."
I have broken my nose 3 times and had rhinoplasty once before finding Dr. Srour. I loved my first surgery but still had a broken bone, a hole, and never felt like my nose was completely what I was born with or grew up with. It was definitely better but still not me and I didn't feel it was very feminine. I was always terrified of the idea of a 2nd rhinoplasty especially after having so much... more

Initially the nose looked OK but didn't look as I wanted or expected and the deviation wasn't fully corrected but I was hesitated to do revision then later when I reached my late 20's my nose looked pinched and not natural looking.Now I am in my 30's and I decided to do it after... more

I was motivated by the fact that I didn't like how I looked anymore in the mirror. I wanted to change that feeling and the way I looked. I had previously had a nose job but it came back really bad. I decided to go with Dr. Sadati because he had great reviews and knew what he was doing! Loving the outcome. There is still some swelling now that I'm about 7months post-surgery but the year mark I... more

I would absolutely stay away from Walden for Rhinoplasty. My nose was left unfunctional and I have been unable to breath since the procedure in 2011. She left me with a very narrow nose and pinched tip. Not to mention it was noticeably asymmetric. When I brought up these issues to both her and Dr. Sherrell J. Aston who was her mentor they were both dismissive, claiming my nose was asymmetric... more
"Finally... Finally I Got It Right......"
I had my nose done three times over the last six years. It was very crooked and ugly. I carefully researched surgeons who might be able to help me. After several months of visiting with Dr. Ellenbogen, I had my surgery after the xmas holiday. Dr. Ellenbogen says I am still a little swollen but I am already thrilled with the results. Also, this was the only surgery that wasnt painful. I... more
"Excited... Nervous... Scared.... But..."
I have my surgery coming up next week, which I will be flying in from out of town for. Thankfully I have cousins in California who will be taking care of me. I had a rhinoplasty about 5 years ago and I wasn't too happy with the results. For a couple years now, I've always wanted to get it re-done, but I always had that feeling in the back of my head of "what if it doesn't turn out the way I... more
"Dr. Bubilk is Fantastic! - Glendale, CA"
About two years ago I went through a primary rhinoplasty to fix a deviated septum and make what I thought were minor cosmetic changes. I ended up with a nose VERY different than what I imagined. It took me two years to start meeting with doctors again to even reconsider surgery. As a lot of people discuss on the boards, especially with revision procedures, it's very emotional, and scary. I saw... more
"Dr. Vladimir Grigoryants- Skilled..."
It can be exciting- the promise of change or nerve racking when you enter into a procedure of one you have already experienced. Revisions are unique because now as the patient you have probably done more research this time around, but with so many doctors out there it's hard to know who is truly good! This can add to our fear, because now we know just enough to be dangerous! You know... more
"Greatly Amazed - Ladera Heights, CA"
About six months ago, I had Dr. Nassif do an amazing revision rhinoplasty nose job you recently for me at your offices in Beverly Hills. While playing basketball I shattered my nose more than once. After a couple of broken noses, I began suffering from a lot of breathing issues. The biggest problem I suffered from was trying to breathe normally through my nose. I made the decision to get... more
"Did Not Think My Nose Could Be Fixed..."
I had gone to many doctors to fix my nose. I had two previous operations and my nose was still crooked and the tip was still off. I was not sure if this could be fixed. Dr. Hughes looks so young when you meet with him, and I was amazed at how many operations he had performed. He told me that revisions were always harder, but he thought he could improve it with a closed rhinoplasty. The... more
"Deviated Septum/rhinoplasty -..."
I'm in my mid'30's and decided to meet with Dr. Sadati for a Deviated Septum/rhinoplasty. I've previously had a septoplasty with another surgeon to help me with my breathing but the results were not what I expected. So I met with Dr. Sadati to discuss my options. Aside from helping my with breathing better, I wanted to correct my deviated septum I got after a childhood injury. Those were my... more
"Polly Beak No More -Los Angeles, CA"
I had a previous rhinoplasty by another surgeon, but I still had some issues with the way my nose looked. The dorsum was just not as nice as I wanted. I had what they call a polly beak deformity. Dr. Hughes did the surgery, and it looks great after a few weeks. I can already see alot of improvement. more
"Unexpected Benefits - Glendale, CA"
I did my revision primary for cosmetic reasons but I have noticed a dramatic improvement in my energy levels the last month, I used to be tired all the time, I feel like I need a whole lot less sleep and the dark circles I had under my eyes are nearly gone! They just vanished, I used to have these really dark circles that I thought were genetic and even tried rystalene in the past with slight... more

I had a problem with my nose, the shape of my nose was not a normal one, it was a kind of asymmetry. My left nostril was smaller than the right nostril.

Some More High Valyrian Inflection
Another season of Game of Thrones is in the books, which means that this blog will go back to discussing grammar—this time with Valyrian added to the usual Dothraki posts (though I will mention that the Dothraki posts have not disappeared. There's more there yet!).
This week I wanted to talk a little bit more about verbs. I spent a lot of time on the verb conjugation paradigm, and am reasonably pleased with how it came out. We've already gotten a look at the present indicative tense, so let's jump to the past. There are two main tenses that occur primarily in the past: the perfect and the imperfect. Each tense has a stem modification in addition to personal endings, but the stem modification for the imperfect is predictable. The perfect displays patterns of predictability, but is not 100% predictable based on the shape of the root.
To start with, let's look at the imperfect. The imperfect tense is used primarily to set up action in the past. It focuses on a specific action in the past that is viewed internally (i.e. is viewed as not yet having been completed). In a sentence like "He was talking to some lady when her dragon lit him on fire", the verb "was talking" would be in the imperfect in High Valyrian. The imperfect tense is associated with the -il suffix (by the way, pay careful attention to my use of the word "suffix" there. I've seen "infix" thrown around, but such an analysis is inaccurate) plus the e set of personal endings. Here's what the imperfect looks like with a consonant-final stem. Below I'll use the verb pāsagon, which means "to trust" or "to believe".
Person/Type | Imperfect Active Tense | |||
Indicative | Subjunctive | |||
Singular | Plural | Singular | Plural | |
First Person | pāsilen | pāsilin | pāsilon | pāsiloty |
Second Person | pāsilē | pāsilēt | pāsilō | pāsilōt |
Third Person | pāsiles | pāsilis | pāsilos | pāsilosy |
Imperative | ||||
Infinitive | ||||
Participle |
The imperfect has no associated participle, and no stand-alone infinitive or imperative.
When a verb stem with a final vowel is put into the imperfect, the vowel of the suffix -il coalesces with the vowel of the stem to produce a long vowel. As our example, I'll use the verb bardugon, which means "to write" (coined in honor of Leigh Bardugo, author of Siege and Storm, which just came out [plug!]. You may remember her from such Dothraki words as lei).
Person/Type | Imperfect Active Tense | |||
Indicative | Subjunctive | |||
Singular | Plural | Singular | Plural | |
First Person | bardīlen | bardīlin | bardīlon | bardīloty |
Second Person | bardīlē | bardīlēt | bardīlō | bardīlōt |
Third Person | bardīles | bardīlis | bardīlos | bardīlosy |
Imperative | ||||
Infinitive | ||||
Participle |
As you can see, the tense isn't that difficult to get a handle on. The only wrinkle is figuring out whether a stem is consonant- or vowel-final, and then what the result is if the stem is vowel-final. Here's a summary (using the first person singular active indicative as an example):
- pās-agon "to trust" → pāsilen
- bardu-gon "to write" → bardīlen
- keli-gon "to stop" → kelīlen
- mije-gon "to lack" → mijīlen
- nekto-gon "to cut" → nektēlen
- penda-gon "to wonder" → pendēlen
The above should be fairly intuitive. Moving on to the next tense, the perfect probably enjoys much greater use than the imperfect. The perfect tense focuses on an act that has been completed. By definition this action will have occurred in the past, but it can often be used with present relevance (what is often called an anterior). In English you can actually use the simple past in just this way. For example, if someone offers you food but you're full, you can say, "I've eaten". This is the English perfect, and it's fairly standard. You could also say, "I ate"—even better if you add "already". Think of the High Valyrian perfect as both of those uses rolled into one, but without needing the word "already". Using our example above, the verb "lit" would be in the perfect in High Valyrian.
In the perfect, it's not enough to simply know whether the stem ends with a consonant or vowel to figure out what the perfect will look like. Most of the time it has a -t or -et suffix, but this isn't always (or exclusively) the case. Here's what our two example verbs look like in the perfect. First, pāsagon.
Person/Type | Perfect Active Tense | |||
Indicative | Subjunctive | |||
Singular | Plural | Singular | Plural | |
First Person | pāstan | pāsti | pāston | pāstoty |
Second Person | pāstā | pāstāt | pāstō | pāstōt |
Third Person | pāstas | pāstis | pāstos | pāstosy |
Imperative | ||||
Infinitive | pāstagon | |||
Participle |
What a tasty verb… And now bardugon.
Person/Type | Perfect Active Tense | |||
Indicative | Subjunctive | |||
Singular | Plural | Singular | Plural | |
First Person | bardutan | barduti | barduton | bardutoty |
Second Person | bardutā | bardutāt | bardutō | bardutōt |
Third Person | bardutas | bardutis | bardutos | bardutosy |
Imperative | ||||
Infinitive | bardutagon | |||
Participle |
Again, the endings are fairly simple (the same as the present tense endings), it's just figuring out the stem. Here are some examples of perfect stems (again using the first person singular) and their associated infinitives:
- gaom-agon "to do" → gōntan
- henuj-agon "to exit" → hembistan
- māzi-gon "to come" → mastan
- pikīb-agon "to read" → pikīptan
- pygh-agon "to jump" → pȳdan
- qanem-agon "to sharpen" → qanēdan
- rāpūlj-agon "to soften" → rāpūltan
- rij-agon "to praise" → riddan
- rȳb-agon "to hear" → ryptan
- sik-agon "to bear" → sittan
- tat-agon "to finish" → tetan
- urne-gon "to see" → ūndan
- verd-agon "to arrange" → vēttan
A lot of the major patterns are contained in that list along with a couple of the more bizarre ones.
At this point, I think it's more than possible to put a few sentences together. I'll see what else I have time to put out in the coming months. Until next time, geros ilas!
And now its watch is at an end (it being season 3)! Good show, D&D! I know there haven't been many seasons, but this was by far the best. That said, it's understandable if as a viewer you felt this finale was a little anticlimactic after last week's showstopper. There's absolutely no event that could top the horror of the Red Wedding (well, except for the event that many thought would happen last night that didn't. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you'll have to wait till next season [or read A Storm of Swords]). Instead of trying to do that, they tried to tie up as many story lines as possible and set the table for next season, and I thought they did a good job. But there was also some fantastic stuff in this episode that it's easy to forget about upon reflection.
Certainly at the top of my list was the Small Council scene. Tywin Lannister is, as you know, my favorite Song of Ice and Fire character, and you can't ask for more than Joffrey being Joffrey and Tywin being Tywin at the same time. There's rarely more electricity in the room than when someone publicly threatens Tywin Lannister. What genius! At the various premiere events I've been to, I have yet to run into either Charles Dance or Jack Gleeson, but I'd love to shake both of their hands. The quality they bring to their work and the life they've imbued in their characters is, for me, one of the highlights of the show. Game of Thrones is filled with twists, action and some great special effects, yes, but for me some of the most fun I have watching the show is witnessing the verbal repartée between characters with massive egos—one of the same reasons I enjoy watching Downton Abbey so much, in fact.
Since we're in King's Landing, I also wanted to tip my cap to Lena Headey. Cersei is an extremely unsympathetic character if you read the books. Some of the things she does have been left out of the show, but they've added some new scenes which really help to round Cersei out—and one of them came in "Mhysa". I thought it was a lovely scene with her and Tyrion, and it adds a little something extra to this whole Joffrey question (i.e. how does the worst person ever come to be the worst person ever? What went wrong?). Not even she is blind to how awful Joffrey is, and yet he is her son. Lena Headey does a good job conveying just how tough that is.
Also I actually like that the reunion of Cersei and Jaime is a bit overshadowed and understated. It's not a triumphant return, but also theirs is not the best relationship. It'd feel a little weird to be cheering that reunion like it's Ross and Rachel (and before anyone comments, yes, I recognize that a good chunk of America was not cheering for that reunion [I was among them], but I don't know how many would be familiar with Florentino and Fermina). I think the scene laid the groundwork for what's going to become of their relationship rather well.
Another book comment. I like that the scene with Davos was allowed to play out. In the book, as I recall, that's one of those chapter enders that George R. R. Martin is fond of: Davos is being carried away to be executed, and to save himself he pulls out a slip of paper and begins to read. You don't know what or why; you have to wait until it's explained later. Bleh. I'm a busy man. I'll take my answers now, thank you.
As I've been watching this season with friends, I can say with confidence that Ramsey Bolton is a crowd favorite. He introduced acquitted himself quite well this season, what with his little horn and his sausage from this episode. That's classic mirth-making. Ditto to Arya and the Hound. I hope we get a few more good scenes out of that pairing next season.
Before getting to the scene in Yunkai, I'd also like to mention a point of discussion that came up in regard to the "Wolf King" bit. This is something from the books, but we all found it to be quite a bit more awful than we were imagining—and I think this reaction has been a common one on the net. I think one thing that's surprising is both my friend and I had the exact same reaction, which is that we thought the wolf head thing would be a lot cleaner than it actually was—but, realistically, there's no reason it should have been. It should have been shoddy work, and, indeed, the wolf head should have looked like it didn't fit on their properly. Still, when we read and imagined the season, we somehow imagined precision tailoring: a perfect fit for the wolf head, neat stitching… It's comical, if you think about it, how unrealistic that expectation was. My friend contends this is on account of the fact that unless something is described in vivid detail (in the books it's just an anecdote related by Salladhor Saan), our imaginations probably aren't going to try to shock or horrify us. After all, such a thing isn't pleasant. Thus, we get the Nutcracker Mouse King version of Robb with a wolf head in our imagination.
The season ends in Yunkai with some darling little dragons. I'm quite certain that if my cat had wings, she'd be Drogon. At first Missandei addresses the crowd (one wonders how many could actually hear. What did they do in the old days without sound systems…?):
- Bizy sa Daenerys Targarien, Jelmazmo, Dorzalty, Dāria Sikudo Dārȳti Vestero, Muña Zaldrizoti. Sa va zer sko enkat jiva derve.
- "This is Daenerys Targaryen, the Stormborn, the Unburnt, the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, the Mother of Dragons. It is to her you owe your freedom."
The astute reader will note that this isn't actually pure Low Valyrian, but rather a mix. Dany's name and titles are done in High Valyrian, and everything else is done in Low. This was intentional.
Next, Dany says a good portion of the following:
- Dāervose jevosy yne enkot daor. Jemot ziry tepagon koston daor. Dāerves jevys tepagon yne sytilībos daor. Jemēle mērī sytilības. Lo ziry arlī jaelāt, jemēlo syt ziry mazemagon jemo bēvilza. Tolvies jemys.
- "You do not owe me your freedom. I cannot give it to you. Your freedom is not mine to give. It belongs to you and you alone. If you want it back, you must take it for yourselves. Each and every one of you."
If there's a controversial bit in that translation, it's the choice of verb and tense in lo ziry arlī jaelāt—i.e. "if it again you want". There are a couple of ways I could've gone. One would be, for example, to use the verb emagon, "to have", in the subjunctive. I felt that was too hypothetical. This translation I felt was more direct (i.e. using the indicative rather than the subjunctive and using the verb for "to want"), and I liked it better for the content. It was a choice, though, so feel free to skewer me in the comments.
After that, Dany commands her dragons to fly with sōvētēs (all three of them—hence, the plural command), and she asks her Unsullied to let her pass by saying Ynot rebagon. I know you're probably looking at that and you're all like, "Whaaaaa…?" so let me explain. Permissive commands ("let me pass", "let him speak", "let my dragon roast him like Roseanne Barr", etc.) are done differently from other commands. The verb in the imperative is actually gaomagon, but it's pretty much never used. Instead what you have is gaomagon in the imperative preceded by a verb in the infinitive (the main verb of the sentence) preceded by an agent in the dative. Thus instead of it being something like, "Pass to me", it's "Let me pass".
Oh, and a note since folks have asked, the lyric in that final chant was based on the last speech Dany gives, but was altered for the choir. I don't think you can necessarily recover any of the text at this point. I haven't checked, though. I didn't write it and wasn't involved with it.
Now to close the discussion of this season: Talisa's letter. Before getting into the issues, let me just give you the whole thing. Here it is in High Valyrian:
Muñus jorrāeliarzus,
Olvie hen embraro tolmiot nykēlot avy ivestragon issa. Nykēlo syt ūndon daor luo valzȳro ñoghossi ōressiks. Dārys issa vestris, se prūmio ñuho konir drējior issa. Ȳghāpī īlōn rāelza, kesrio syt lanta iksan, rūso zȳhosy gōvilirose zijo syt pyghas lue prūmie. Vīlībāzma ajomemēbza, yn aderī, mōrī, aōt māzīli se hēnkirī īlvi biarvī manaerili.
And here is the original English, written by Cat Taylor:
Dearest mother,
So much news I have to give you from over the seas. I find myself held by the arms of a husband I never expected to have. They say he is a king and of my heart that is true. He holds us safe, for now I am two, with his child beneath the heart that beats for him. The war rages on, but soon, when it is all over, we shall come to you and celebrate together.
Okay. The Valyrian's all there, so those who are interested can work on it. For those who were interested in the letter specifically because of the theory that Talisa was a Lannister spy (if you're unfamiliar with this theory, go here for a full breakdown), obviously you can now see that the letter reveals that, in fact, she was not—or, at the very least, that she was actually writing a letter to her mother. You might be able to say it was a code, but if you go back to the letter that Arya saw from a Lannister spy, that doesn't make much sense, since Arya had no trouble (a) reading it (i.e. presumably it was in Common), and (b) judging its content. In reality, all the letter does is point up the fact that there really is no actual evidence for Talisa being a Lannister spy.
That said, the original video was very clever (even though it misses some obvious things. Everyone from Essos has an accent? What about Varys?), and I felt that revealing the contents of the letter right after episode 7 would have pretty much torpedoed the theory (though note that the author of the video says at the end that the theory was a joke. Others thought it quite plausible). Conspiracy theories are fun when they're about television shows (Who shot Mr. Burns? Who killed Laura Palmer? Who is Number One?), so it's no fun to have someone with inside knowledge rain on everyone's parade.
Plus, if fans can have fun generating conspiracy theories, can't I have fun teasing? I'm probably never going to get another chance!
But, yeah, the Lannister spy theory would've been a tremendous break from canon, I think. And even though they've broken from canon before (and will again), there are certain lines that they can't cross, and that'd be one of them. Plus, I'd expect much better of Tywin. Plant a random girl in Robb's army of thousands and expect that not only will he run into her, but he'll fall in love with her? There's way too many variables in that plan for someone as awesome as Tywin.
Anyway I guess that does it for season 3. The first season, Game of Thrones was just getting its feet, and the second was building an audience. This season, I thought, was superb, and I would not be surprised to see it garner some serious attention when the Golden Globes and Emmys roll around. I contributed to the first two seasons, but I'm really proud of the performances in this season. Wonderful, wonderful work.
And, to close the chapter on this season, I've got two words, and two words only.
Kastāmiro Daomior
Now, I'm not a superstitious man, but there was no word for "rain" in High Valyrian when I went to the dictionary to translate the title of tonight's episode. After creating it (and the verb "to rain") it brought the official word total of High Valyrian up to 666:
Admittedly, even knowing what was coming, that was pretty harsh—even harsher than hearing it from Roy Dotrice. So well played, D&D!
But leaving the bad, let's get to the best part of the episode: the adonis Jacob Anderson fighting like a lajak. Dude is awesome. The only thing more I could've wanted from this episode is to see that scene continue. It was a little 1960s Batman, but I'll take it. I was mightily entertained.
Unfortunately there's no good news for the High Valyrian in this episode. What I sent was, apparently, altered, so I'm not sure, on first blush, what they're saying. First, Jorah says a line in English that was to be Dany's in High Valyrian. Then Dany says…something (I'll get to it; need to rewatch that bit), and Grey Worm says:
- Odaban sko ydras drejikydho.
- "I think he is telling the truth."
That's translated as "I trust him". Same intent, really, so no big deal. I did, however, recommend strongly that he say "this one" instead of "I". What I should have done is simply translated it how I wanted to and sent it to them (noted for the future). Perhaps they're suggesting he's in the process of developing some agency (clearly true), but I never took the use of "this one" as anything more than a linguistic pattern—just something that happens on account of the idiolect spoken by the Unsullied—or perhaps even just a way of showing deference. Of course if it was the latter, perhaps this is a way of unassimilating himself. There's a thesis in here somewhere, I swear!
Okay, back to Dany's lines. Let me try and figure out what she's saying, and then I'll see if I can figure out where it comes from… Ahh! Okay, I've got it. First, here's the line as I delivered it (it's split into two parts, but it was written as one line):
- Lo jention mirre nūmāzme ēza, iderenna qopsa verdagon issa.
- "If leadership is about anything, it's about making hard choices."
If you go and listen, this line was split at the comma, and each half was translated as (respectively): "You are a leader now" and "Do you trust him?"
So, first, let me just comment on the writing here. I like the scene as it actually appears in the episode much better than what's written. First, Jorah wouldn't actually have that much of a footprint on this scene if he didn't have the line that was originally in Valyrian (i.e. "You command the Unsullied. What do you think?"). It also changes the dynamic a bit. Jorah's going to Grey Worm as an ally, more than anything else. Almost as if he's a Vulcan, or something: Grey Worm can tell no lies. So if Grey Worm thinks the plan is a bad idea and Daario's leading them into a trap, it must be true. I like that better than Dany asking him, so kudos there. Furthermore, I also like the idea of Jorah addressing him in English, and then Dany kind of coming back to him in Valyrian. It makes it look less like he's suddenly learned to understand Common (even though the dialogue, as written in the show, would make it seem like he does. How else could he understand the plan well enough to comment? All Daario was doing was pointing at a map—and that only slightly).
Second, I also like the change to Dany's lines. The lines as written are much more didactic—like Dany's teaching him how to be an individual. As it's written, it's more like Dany is simply acknowledging his agency and giving Grey Worm the opportunity to step up and be a part of the conversation. The result is an exchange that's less paternal (or maternal) and more empowering, in my opinion.
Of course, I could easily have translated the actual lines if they'd asked (seriously, what else do I do? Translating for Game of Thrones is cake! It's a treat I give myself after a long day of doing hard work on Defiance). They didn't. Perhaps they thought there wouldn't be enough time or I was too busy. Whatever it was, though, there's no match between the lines and the subtitles. Even so, the direction of the scene didn't change, so it's not at all an implausible course of events (i.e. if you just read the subtitles or just listen to the Valyrian, it shouldn't be a surprise what happens).
For the sake of completion, here's the other line from this episode:
- Jentys Dovaogēdyro syt iksā. Skoros otāpā?
- "You command the Unsullied. What do you think?"
I know there's not a lot of Valyrian in this episode, but perhaps it'll help to fill in some holes.
Also, to return to an earlier topic, I was waiting for this episode to air to say anything about Talisa's letter. The point is, I think, now moot, but I believe the subject deserves its own post. So bear with me; it's late and I have to be on my game tomorrow. I'll put up Talisa's letter soon (perhaps before the post accompanying the last episode of the season).
Some High Valyrian Inflection
As many will have noticed, there's no new episode of Game of Thrones this week. There's also no new episode of Defiance, for fans of the Syfy show. In fact, there's not much on TV this weekend except for sports. The reasons is evident, though it seems that networks are only catching on this year. This Monday is Memorial Day in America.
Now ordinarily, one would think that since it's a long weekend, people would be gearing up to go home and watch TV—and that's often true. But as a holiday, Memorial Day is all but guaranteed to have the best weather of any American holiday throughout the year. The weather may be nice on certain holidays in certain parts of the country on any given year, true, but Memorial Day is just about guaranteed to have great weather in every part of the country every single year. As a result, families use this time to get together and go outside. And while sporting events work great for such weather (you can drop in and drop out, catch a play while getting something to drink, etc.), sitting down for a serious drama seems to be at odds with the gorgeous weather outside. Consequently, American networks decided to bow to the weather and take a week off.
Personally, I couldn't be happier! This time of the year I often find myself out of town on the weekends (maybe not every weekend, but some weekends), which means that I have to miss a live airing of Game of Thrones, which is just not cool. This year I don't have to worry! As with last year, I traveled up to the Bay Area for BayCon and also to visit with family (and with Shubert's). And since there's no Game of Thrones or Defiance, I can really enjoy the weekend!
While we take a breath as we prepare for the final two episodes of Game of Thrones, though, I thought I'd put up a couple of inflectional paradigms from High Valyrian. The hope is that these can be used as a general reference for the future. There's been some excellent and fruitful discussion in the comments section of this blog, but as anyone who's a regular commenter is well familiar with, it's kind of hard to keep track of who said what when, and so I'm sure I've made some mistakes (misreading comments, saying comment x is incorrect when I really meant comment y, etc.). These paradigms I promise will be 100% correct (unless they need to be changed in the future [joking (kind of)]).
Starting with the verbs, those who've been following along will know that there are basically two types of verb stems in High Valyrian: those that end in a consonant and those that end in a vowel. In High Valyrian, a stem can end with any consonant or vowel, but those that end in vowels have paradigms which are quite similar to one another, and those that end in a consonant have paradigms that are quite similar to one another (in both instances, though, there will be variation in the perfect, which is the part of the paradigm most likely to be irregular). Here I want to give you the most regular versions of each paradigm so that you've got a base line to go off of. Let's start with the easy one: consonant-final stems. As an example, I'll use manaeragon, which means "to raise" or "to lift".
Person/Type | Present Active Tense | |||
Indicative | Subjunctive | |||
Singular | Plural | Singular | Plural | |
First Person | manaeran | manaeri | manaeron | manaeroty |
Second Person | manaerā | manaerāt | manaerō | manaerōt |
Third Person | manaerza | manaerzi | manaeros | manaerosy |
Imperative | manaerās | manaerātās | ||
Infinitive | manaeragon | |||
Participle | manaerare, manaerarior |
A couple of comments on the table above. The (dark) grayed out part of the table are forms that don't exist (there are no subjunctive participles or infinitives or imperatives). Where one form stretches across singular and plural, it means there's no distinction. In the case of the participles, those are adjectives with regular adjective endings, and the first is used with a lunar or solar class and the latter with a terrestrial or aquatic (i.e. those specific adjective endings conflate lunar and solar into one class and terrestrial and aquatic into another). You'll undoubtedly be able to glance at the table and pick out some patterns. Bear those in mind as we move to the next paradigm—this one for limagon, which means "to cry".
Person/Type | Present Active Tense | |||
Indicative | Subjunctive | |||
Singular | Plural | Singular | Plural | |
First Person | liman | limī | limaon | limaoty |
Second Person | limā | limāt | limaō | limaōt |
Third Person | limas | limasi | limaos | limaosy |
Imperative | limās | limātās | ||
Infinitive | limagon | |||
Participle | limare, limarior |
Aside from the subjunctive, the tables should look quite similar (probably because the stem ends in -a), so it may prove instructive to do another vowel-final paradigm that should help to describe the rest of it. Here's sōvegon which means "to fly".
Person/Type | Present Active Tense | |||
Indicative | Subjunctive | |||
Singular | Plural | Singular | Plural | |
First Person | sōven | sōvī | sōvion | sōvioty |
Second Person | sōvē | sōvēt | sōviō | sōviōt |
Third Person | sōves | sōvesi | sōvios | sōviosy |
Imperative | sōvēs | sōvētēs | ||
Infinitive | sōvegon | |||
Participle | sōvere, sōverior |
And with that, one should be able to figure out the rest. If you're looking for something to hang your hat on, if you have a consonant-final stem, the first person plural present active indicative will always end in -i, and for a vowel-final stem, it will always end in -ī, regardless of the vowel in the stem. If you're trying to fill out the rest of the vowel-final forms, yes, the first person plural and second person singular are identical with i-final stems, and in the subjunctive, the final o and u of o- and u-final stems both become v.
Since we've devoted a lot of space to verbs, I'd like to wrap up with a couple common noun paradigms. You'll notice that a lot of names of Valyrian origin end in -ys. This is how nouns and names of that type decline. I'll use the word loktys, "sailor" as an example (a solar noun of the second declension class. Most [but not all] words of this class are solar).
Case | Singular | Plural | Paucal | Collective |
Nominative | loktys | loktyssy | loktyn | loktyr |
Accusative | lokti | loktī | loktyni | loktyri |
Genitive | lokto | loktoti | loktyno | loktyro |
Dative | loktot | loktoti | loktynty | loktyrty |
Locative | loktȳ | loktī | loktynny | loktyrry |
Instrumental | loktomy | loktommi | loktyssy | loktyrzy |
Comitative | loktomy | loktommi | loktymmy | loktyrmy |
Vocative | loktys | loktyssys | loktyssy | loktyrzy |
It might prove instructive to refer to the first declension lunar paradigm revealed last week and compare it to this one. Pay particularly close attention to the singular and plural numbers, and note where cases are conflated and where they aren't. This is what defines declension classes in High Valyrian.
Oh, and since it doesn't fit anywhere else but I feel like mentioning it, verb stems never end in a long vowel or diphthong, and you'll run into the following diphthongs in High Valyrian: ae, āe, ao and āo. There are also some on-glide diphthongs which can serve as the nucleus of a single syllable: ia, iā, io, iō, ie, iē, ua, uā, ue and uē.
I hope you enjoy the week off from Game of Thrones! Come next week, things are going to start to get messy. Geros ilas!
Tȳni Trēsi
Didn't I tell y'all there would be some Dothraki this season? Ta da! There it is!
If I may come to things out of order, I thought the VFX of the White Walker dying were outstanding. Must be pretty satisfying to stab something and then have it turn to ice, fall and shatter that way. Pretty cool! Of course, Sam should've retained his knife (what was he so afraid of? He killed it! No way you can come back from that!), but the action north of the wall has been replete with horror movie tropes, so it is fitting. For those who remember the specific action of the book better than I do, though, what was up with those birds?! I don't remember that from the book. And why would they have been so excited about this encounter as to opposed to the others that we've seen in the series already? There were no crows in those scenes (or, at least, no literal crows). Oh, and one more question: Isn't it a bit of a coincidence that that White Walker is the exact same White Walker we saw in the season 2 finale?
I thought the scenes surrounding and during Tyrion and Sansa's wedding were done very well. Reading those scenes initially, it was so frustrating how much Tyrion wants to convey to Sansa that he's not a bad guy, and how miserably he fails to do so. I thought they captured that aspect of the books quite well in the scenes we saw here.
There has been a bit of controversy in some corners regarding the scenes on Dragonstone. I would like to go on record saying I thought they were fine. I have no complaints, and found everything to be in keeping with what ought to have been expected.
In today's scene from Slaver's Bay, we're introduced to Daario Naharis, who looks nothing like I thought he would. You know who does look cool, though: Prendahl na Ghezn (played by Ramon Tikaram). Dude looks awesome! He's even got the blue hair! (If there was any glare on your screen, you might not have noticed it, but his hair was dyed blue, I can assure you.) Alas, his role is a bit short-lived… It's too bad. Honestly, I hope I see more of him in some other feature. He looks like a leading man, to me.
The main scene begins with Mero leading Prendahl and Daario into Dany's tent. There is an exchange where Mero is even more insulting than Kraznys, and he provokes the incredible, invincible and indomitable Jacob Anderson, a.k.a Grey Worm, a.k.a Torgo Nudho, who says:
- Nya dare, beza unehtelas jaa engo ozy?
- "My queen, shall this one slice out his tongue for you?"
And for those keeping track, yes, that is a Dothraki-style hiatus there with jaa, in addition to Dothraki-style post-vocalic h in unehtelas, both of which he nails, because Jacob Anderson is a Golden God.
Anyway, Dany responds in High Valyrian:
- Bisi vali īlvyz zentyssy issi.
- "These men are our guests."
The word vali was cut due to length, I'm guessing, but the result would still be grammatical (it would just mean "These ones [probably animate] are our guests"). If the form of the possessive adjective looks odd to you, then you're really keyed in to the phonology of High Valyrian. As I mentioned somewhere at some point in time, adjectives in High Valyrian have a different form depending on whether they come before or after the noun they modify. In this case, the full form would be īlvyzy. The final y drops out if the adjective precedes the noun it modifies, though, and the z devoices unless the next word begins with a voiced sound. Since "guests" is zentyssy, then, the form of the adjective is īlvyz and not īlvys.
After many more insults and a scene between the three Second Sons, we see Missandei bathing Daenerys. Though this scene was, of course, planned, this bit of dialogue was added by Dan Weiss very late in the game (he asked for the translation in mid-September). Personally I think it's kind of a meta joke since this is literally the only Dothraki that appears in the entire season. What he did was he gave me the English line and asked if I could get athjahakar (the Dothraki word for "pride") at the end of the sentence. Ultimately this is how I did the translation:
- Zhey Drogo ast me-Dothraki thasho h'anhaan ven anha ray yol mehas. Me azh maan atjakhar.
- "Drogo said I spoke Dothraki like one born to it. It gave him great pride."
Those who know Dothraki will note that this line features the (somewhat) rare invocative use of zhey (i.e. bringing to the listener's attention a person who hasn't yet appeared as a topic of discussion). You'll also note that athjahakar is misspelled. Indeed, this little exchange was supposed to reveal that Dany was never as good at Dothraki as she is, of course, with High Valyrian or Common. And the specific word is a call-back to episode 103, I think it was, where Dany's handmaiden Jiqui (or Zhikwi) Irri is shown teaching Dany Dothraki by teaching her to say the word athjahakar.
Looking at the above Dothraki line, you'll note that Dany mangles it pretty badly. That was the intention, but personally I think Emilia went a little too far. Neither Dany nor Emilia was ever that bad! Of course, if Dany hasn't really been speaking Dothraki much, I can see her getting out of practice (perhaps Jorah is the only one that speaks to the Dothraki now [or, actually, now Missandei can too]). She puts together a rather grammatically complex sentence, though. Pretty impressive for a second language learner!
Second Sons was a little light on language, so to add some girth to this, here's the full declension for vala, the High Valyrian word for "man":
Case | Singular | Plural | Paucal | Collective |
Nominative | vala | vali | valun | valar |
Accusative | vale | valī | valuni | valari |
Genitive | valo | valoti | valuno | valaro |
Dative | valot | valoti | valunta | valarta |
Locative | valā | valoti | valunna | valarra |
Instrumental | valosa | valossi | valussa | valarza |
Comitative | valoma | valommi | valumma | valarma |
Vocative | valus | valis | valussa | valarza |
Oh, also I wanted to mention that the word for "son" from our title comes from Twitter user @Tracee2ez, who was my 3,000th Twitter follower! The word is trēsy, which is nicely symmetrical with the word for "daughter", which is tala. Both are lunar words, but tala is first declension, and trēsy second. There are a number of dualities that work this way, where two words which are intended to be in some sort of semantic relation to one another differ either solely in declension class or gender, but in systematic (or semi-systematic) ways. This word, then, turned out to be quite the fortuitous coining, since I already had the word for "daughter".
Also, for those in the Bay Area, I will be at BayCon this Sunday. If you're in the area, stop by and say M'ath!
Oh, and one more also (consider this a public service announcement): The penultimate episode of this season of Game of Thrones will not be airing a week from yesterday! I guess due to a ratings slump on Memorial Day, HBO is skipping a week, and episode 309 will air on June 2nd. Perhaps I can put together a post next week trying to answer some questions. Or I can take a break and enjoy the weekend. We'll see.
Fonas chek!
Gryves se Riña Litse
Yesterday was George R. R. Martin's episode for season 3 of Game of Thrones. Many wondered if Martin would write the episode from season 3 (if you don't know which that is, you will by the end of the season), and in case you didn't find the information elsewhere, he specifically did not want to. He said it was tough to write once, and he didn't want to go through that again.
There was quite a bit of character development this episode, which was important, but which, I gather from the internet, might have seemed not as exciting to some. Not every episode can have wall-to-wall action (though I would note that the dragons were quite entertaining this episode!), but I really liked some of the conversations and developments from this episode. For example, a short scene, but the conversation between Sansa and Margaery was great ("Yes, dear. My mother taught me." Rolling). Tywin's little lecture to Joffrey was priceless, of course. It was also nice to see some vulnerability and passion from Melisandre (something we see in the books, albeit later on).
I would also like to draw a comparison that I don't believe anyone else has ever drawn. In fact, if someone has drawn this comparison already and you can show me the link, I'll coin a word for you in either Dothraki or High Valyrian (depending on what makes the most sense). Ready for this? Here it is. The rise and fall of Theon Greyjoy (and what will eventually become of that once we get into his book 5 arc) reminds me a lot of Willie Loomis from the original Dark Shadows. The parallels are many. Not that I think George Martin was inspired by the character (they're not that much alike in the particulars), I just find it to be a fitting comparison. If you have Netflix, I recommend giving the series a try. It's way over the top, and the effects are terrible. It's delicious.
(UPDATE: It has been noticed! I wasn't the first! Check out this post on Tumblr. Props go to Atrox for being the first to point it out!)
There wasn't a whole lot of Valyrian in this episode, but there was some. It first comes up with Robb and Talisa. Talisa's writing a letter to her mother and Robb asks her if it's in Valyrian. There she replies with something I didn't write, and which Robb repeats as ga (sounded to me like she actually says dha. Anyway have good ears?). I didn't actually intend for there to be a simple word for "yes" in High Valyrian, but of course there ought to be in Volantene. So whatever it was that was said, let's say that's it. Later she says "hello" in Valyrian: rytsas. Robb is then supposed to mispronounce it, but he actually mispronounced it better than I intended (I intended ristas). The vowel change, though, probably sounds amusing enough.
Regarding the letter, the text of it was written by Cat Taylor (Dave and Dan's assistant) and translated by me. The shot of it is quite pretty; the art department did an awesome job! Ideally it should be in Valyrian glyphs, but I guess it didn't seem worthwhile to create an entire writing system for what ultimately is kind of a throwaway shot. Though I do have the text of it (in both English and High Valyrian, which is what it's written in), I don't think I should put it up right now. I'll put it up when the season's done with, but there's been a lot of creativity amongst fans regarding Talisa, and so I think this should remain a mystery for the time being. It isn't gibberish, though, I can assure you.
Later in Yunkai we get some more Valyrian from Dany, but none from conlang demigod Jacob Anderson! When I was first doing the scripts, it was like, "Yeah, whatever." Now, though! They should have him narrate the entire series in Valyrian! What a linguistic adonis!
Anyway, Dany gives some orders to Grey Worm (who does not respond! What a missed opportunity! He could've at least said, "By your royal leave, my gracious queen and valorous liberator, of whom the heavens shall sing for a million shining eternities!"). These are they:
- Va oktio remȳti vale jikās.
- "Send a man to the city gates."
- Belmurtī ivestrās kesīr pōnte jiōrinna se pōjon obūljarion mazōrīnna. Lodaor hēnkos vējose hae Astaprot Yunkai botilza.
- "Tell the slavers I will receive them here and accept their surrender. Otherwise, Yunkai will suffer the same fate as Astapor."
And that actually does it.
Oh, except for one thing. When Grazdan mo Eraz wanders away from Dany et al., he mutters something. For this, D&D asked me to just come up with something—anything that sounded particularly vile. And so I came up with this (which I won't translate):
- Inkan undagho buna gundjabo jorydrare evi rungo pulgarinko…
I don't know how much of that he actually gets through (I made it extra long so it would sound like he was trailing off and saying more). That's Astapori Valyrian, in case you're wondering; I didn't have time to do a complete treatment of Yunkish Valyrian just for this line. There's at least one word in there that could be unique to Yunkai, though.
Also, an important note for regular commenters on this blog. A couple days ago something happened (unfortunately, I still don't know what) that resulted in one of my blog posts being deleted along with all its comments—plus a dozen or so others. It wasn't a post I was editing or working on, nor was it the most recent post. The comments, though, were recent comments. I worked with someone to restore an earlier version of the database, and the post is back, along with most of its comments. There are still a number of comments that aren't back, though. We are working to restore them exactly as they were. Even if that doesn't work, though, I do have a record of every comment, so at the very least I will be able to restore them myself (likely under my own login, but I'll give the appropriate credit along with the original post date). I apologize for the mishap—especially since some of the best material on this blog has been in the recent batch of comments. I'd love to say that it won't happen again, but since I don't know what caused it and failed to replicate the problem, I just don't know if I can say that. At the very least, I now know I can restore the blog, and that it appears to be backed up regularly.

I loved this combination of blouse and capri when I saw it in the Burdastyle April 2013 issue. It's #119 for the blouse and #113 for the capris. I didn't add the piping but I'm okay with that. Again, I chose the eyelet with little flowers for the blouse as you can see. The pants are made of a nice denim with spandex blend so it has a nice stretch. I cut a size 36 but in the end I should have cut a size 34 for the capris since I altered it to be fitted more in the legs and I took an inch off the hems as well so it had a slightly more flattering cut at the knee.
1.5 yards of eyelt, 2 5/8 inch buttons, interfacing, 1.5 yards of denim spandex, 9 inch zipper, thread

Bank of Goldman
Lloyd Blankfein, chief executive officer of Goldman Sachs and banker-in-chief of the US/world, didn't disappoint as his investment firm once again proved that it's second to none on Wall Street when it comes to printing money and profits.
By now you know the headline news that Goldman generated blowout second-quarter earnings on record net revenues of $13.8 billion. Net revenues from trading and principal investments were $10.78 billion, up 93% from the year ago period.
Remember that trading code theft case with Sergey Aleynikov? No worries here.
The firm exceeded even the most widely optimistic analyst forecasts and demonstrated that the financial crisis, which pushed Goldman's stock down to $51 last November is a distant memory–for Goldman at least. BTW, Goldman's stock is now trading around $150. Talk about stock appreciation.
And it looks like maybe Goldman will be able to pay those fat year-end bonuses afterall. In the quarter, compensation and benefits expenses were $6.65 billion. That amount is higher than the second-quarter of 2008 because of higher net revenues. Fatter Goldman bonsues will make all those luxury real estate brokers in Manhattan happy.
But while everyone is singing Goldman's praises, let me point out a few blemishes–albeit small ones.
First, Goldman continues to do investors no favor by failing to publish a detailed financial supplement along with its earnings release (something every other big bank does) to help decipher its quarterly numbers.
Second, Level 3 assets–assets that the firm can't value and trade–remain stubbornly high at $54 billion. Sure, the dollar value of Level 3 assets is down by $5 billion from the first quarter. But these impossible-to-value assets (some of them toxic) represent 6.1% of Goldman's total assets.
Third, the risk Goldman is taking in its trading operation continues to edge up. The average daily VaR, or value at risk, was $245 million as of June 26. That's up from $240 million in the first quarter and up from $184 million as of May 2008. Goldman keeps piling on risk to drive its trading gains.
Fourth, the firm says a good chunk of its 28% year-over-year gain in net revenues from stock trading came from "significantly higher net revenues in derivatives." Goldman, since its conversion to a bank holding company last year, now ranks second among US banks in total notional value of derivatives contracts. More and more, counterparty risk is getting concentrated in Goldman–now that Lehman and Bear Stearns are gone.
Fifth, as I argued last week, Goldman needs to start providing a more detailed account of just where all those trading dollars come from. The following explanation for the $6.8 billion in trading revenue it churned out in fixed income, currencies and commodities doesn't cut it:
"These results refelected particularly strong performances in credit products, interest rate products and currencies, reflecting strength in the client franchise." Well, duh.
Sixth, the news that the firm posted strong FICC trading numbers, even after taking a $700 million loss on commercial mortgage loans is not necessarily troubling for Goldman. But it is a troubling sign for other banks that don't Goldman's secret sauce for generating outsized trading gains.
Stay tuned for more updates on Goldman's earnings and watch out for our live blogging of the Goldman conference call at 11 a.m. (ET).

Summary: Ana reported being blindfolded, doused in cold water. She was tied to a metal frame; electrodes were fastened to her body. Someone cranked a hand-operated generator.One spring more than twenty years ago, David Kennedy visited Ana in an Uruguayan prison as part of the first wave of humanitarian activists to take the fight for human rights to the very sites where atrocities were committed. Kennedy was eager to learn what human rights workers could do, idealistic about changing the worl ...show mored and helping people like Ana. But he also had doubts. What could activists really change? Was there something unseemly about humanitarians from wealthy countries flitting into dictatorships, presenting themselves as white knights, and taking in the tourist sites before flying home? Kennedy wrote up a memoir of his hopes and doubts on that trip to Uruguay and combines it here with reflections on what has happened to the world of international humanitarianism since.Now bureaucratized, naming and shaming from a great height in big-city office towers, human rights workers have achieved positions of formidable power. They have done much good. But the moral ambiguity of their work and questions about whether they can sometimes cause real harm endure. Kennedy tackles those questions here with his trademark combination of narrative drive and unflinching honesty. This is a powerful and disturbing tale of the bright sides and the dark sides of the humanitarian world built by good intentions. ...show less
