Don't be ridiculous, Phoenix. That was over 50 years ago. Just a few elderly Tibetans are former serfs. Today's young Tibetans have all been educated under the "benevolent" Chinese system. So, if you want to blame education, you'll have to blame your own government. By the time they "catch up", the whole economy of Tibet will be in Chinese hands. And don't take official discrimination so fast from the equation.
Talking about nomads, I guess you heard about the latest Chinese policy to forcibly settle Tibetan nomads on roadside towns, to help them forego their "backwardness", destroying their traditional way of life, and abandoning them to unemployment and alcoholism.
I don't say Chinese policies towards its minorities are not (sometimes) well-meant, but its arrogance when carrying them out, proper of those who consider themselves superior, always tend to have disastrous results. What China considers "progress" may not be such a good thing after all.
Your comments indeed sound like those of the Western colonialists, that, after conquering a territory and submitting its native population to exploitative and repressive policies, blame the economic mess they leave behind on the natives' "laziness", and urge them to stop the victim playing.
@ Froy
I meant to say that it takes more than a generation to build up a "business-class", --- no power on earth can create a business tradition overnight in Tibet or anywhere else
You, on the other hand, is demanding that the Chinese Govt must instantly transform a whole people from a feudal superstitious backward society into a modern commercial super class OVERNIGHT !!!
HELLOOOO.....get real
The Chinese Govt is doing all it can to modernize the Tibetans---this takes time

you alleged China "suppression" of local culture
Please, please...China is paying for the total maintainance of all the Tibetan Monasteries, and paying for the total upkeep of all the Tibetan Buddhist monks
All in all, China sudsidises Tibet USD 5 billion every year---yes, virtually everthing need to be impotyed into Tibet---Tibet is that infertile & barren
All along, Mother Nature has NOT being kind to Tibet & the Tibetans
@ Froy
First & foremost, blame it on the old slave-owning days of pre-1959, when 95% of the Tibetan people were serfs
they were totally illiterate and were not taught any commercial skills at all---they had even very weak vocabulary
PLease give the Tibetan people a little bit more time to become commercially minded---yes, Chinese govt providing FREE 9-year compulsary education for all children is the KEY to a better Tibetan future---plus Govt giving Tibetan youths more university scholarship
Secondly, many Tibetans are nomads & prefer not the city-life
Thirdly many Tibetans are farmers
ALL your allegations are similar to those of African-Americans blaming the Whites for their lower average incomes & lack of participation in American commerce
I have great hope that the new generation of Tibetans will "make it" & will take command of the commercial sector in Lhasa
The problem, Phoenix, is that this 5% is concentrated in Lhasa, where they already make up for almost half of the population, hoarding all tourism-related profitable business: taxis, hotels, restaurants, even the souvenir shops selling "Tibetan" arts and crafts are owned and manned by Sichuanese selling wares made in Zhejiang and Guangdong! Tibetans are left with the lowliest jobs, or directly jobless. This flares up resentment among the urban Tibetan population. And the immigration rate is only increasing.
But if you count that a large part of that 5% are soldiers in charge of repressing the Tibetan's religious practices and any kind of suspicious-looking gathering, or are top officials effectively controlling all the region's policies (all TAR Party Secretaries so far have been Han, including you current president Hu Jintao), you can understand is not only numbers that matter. 5% can be too many indeed.
sorry, typing error
Han Chinese make up 55 ==== Han Chinese make up 5% of the population
@ Froy
Prof HILLMAN of the Australian National University studies show that Han Chinese make up of only 55 of the population of Tibet
Han Chinese dread settling down in Tibet---a desolete cold, the high-altitute, the barren, infertile land, yerrible weather etc
Prof Hillman says Han Chinese , live & work for, on average 5 years in Tibet before returning home
Even many Tibetans choose to live in other Chinese provinces---3,5 million Tibetans live in Qinghai & Sichuan
Generally, Chinese love to migrate to sunny Southern California, Australia or Canada, ---GOD, no,..... not Tibet, please
Gold Phoenix, what the Western colonizers did in America (not only North, also South) was a horrible crime. Why does China want to repeat something like that? Shouldn't we learn from the mistakes from the past? Just because horrible crimes were perpetrated in the past (and are being perpetrated in the present) by Western colonizers it doesn't justify the horrible crimes being perpetrated by China against Tibetans and Uyghurs.
About your preposterous affirmation about Uyghurs having "no legitimate claim to Xinjiang", please have in mind that they have been around since the Tang Dynasty (Uyghur Khanate), and, as nomadic tribes they have come and gone many times, gaining and losing control of the territory in different periods, but always being around that area. Han Chinese, however, never bothered beyond setting garrisons there. Before the 50s, when Han settlers started arriving en masse, they were less than 7% of the population. Uyghurs have been the dominant group in Xinjiang for at least 3 centuries. Is that not enough for them to claim that territory as their ancestral homeland?
You have to face that Tibetans and Uyghurs don't want to be part of China. That's the crux of the matter.
@ froy
If the different ethnics in the USA can freely move about between the States, why cant the Chinese do the same ?????
IF the Whites Americans can just take the Native Red Indian lands as they like---why are you criticising China ???
The Uighers have no legitimate claim to Xinjiang
Since the TANFG DYNASTY, Xinjiang had been a frontier buffer-state province garrisioned by Chinese troops to protect against the Northern marauding Barbarian tribes
In 1660 to 1760, the DzungarMongols had rules Xinjiang before the Chinese Emperor re-conquered Xinjiang in 1760
THEN & only then were the uighers brought into Xinjiang to work as labourers to the Chinese garrisions
There are many other ethnic groups in Xinjiang--the Mongols, Uzbeks, Kazakds, Hans, Lis, Huis wetc
Uighers only constitute 40% of the populations
IF THE USA had all along a policy of forging one national identy by having one language ie ENGLIS, why cant China do the same with its 56 different nationalities ????
China is generous in thast it makes the study of the Tibetan language a compulsary subject in Tibetan schools
Likewise for Uighers
REVERSE DISCRIMINATION---Tibetans & Uighers & all the minotities are given special privileges that Han Chinese do not get
The west is not happy until China does what Westerners Whites had done to the Native-Americans, Native-Australians, Canadians, and THAT IS to just place them in special Native Reservations
If China do this, the West will shut up---because this is what they had done to their natives--this is the White Man solution to the Native Problem
Better still, do what the USA had done until 1967, enact anti-mescegenation laws banning the inter-marriages between Whites & Natives (in the USA)
Law@HK, yes, I have seen a few Tibetans on CCTV bowing to Chinese leaders and expressing their gratitude in Telethon-like TV shows. It all looked quite staged, to be honest. In any case, this is an extreme situation, so it's normal that people rescued in such a disaster show gratitude, even if those same rescuers are the ones recurrently repressing them. You can't use extreme cases like this as a paradigm. Under normal circumstances, Tibetans and Uighurs will only resent Han Chinese presence in their homeland.
Even if China has done positive things to these peoples and regions, the overall judgement will always be negative, for colonialism is a negative fact per se. Japanese also improved living conditions and infrastructure in Manchukuo, when most Chinese were in the most abject situation in the rest of the country. Does that make their occupation of Manchuria any more acceptable or legitimate?
Yes, "many of these acts were filmed" because the official rescuers were doing it for the camera. Yes, some officials rescuers died due to altitude sickness which only shows how they are foreign to Tibetan landscape; that they are outsiders who has forcibly made themselves masters of the Tibetan people without any invitation. Yes, yes, on youtube! You guys use youtube and social networking sites to spread CCP propaganda but you don't let your own people have access to these sites.
There is nothing like "perfect" but yes, there is very bad job and that's what we are witnessing in Tibet and Xinjiang. Iraq is no Tibet and Tibet is no Iraq. Pointing fingers at US involvement in Iraq will not help China justify its crimes in Tibet. A crime is a crime and no one can change that. If you guys are really serious about solving the Tibetan problem, listen to Dalai Lama, why do you have to drag West into this discourse?
1) Tibetans and Uighurs benefiting from the economic boom is a very simplistic reading of the facts on the ground (Better if we sift truths from your facts). It is Beijing which has reaped a large number of the benefits.
2) No riots from other minorities? Well, that's because China has very successfully carried out its cultural genocide projects in these areas. These other minorities have long been silenced; they can't even speak their language. No, it doesn't say anything about Kadeer. These so-called "riots" are symptomatic of the failures of Beijing's policies and not the handiwork of someone living thousands of miles away but yes, accusing Kadeer makes things a lot easier for Beijing.
3) So what's the big deal about that? Beijing's population transfer policy is already edging out the minorities from all aspects in running their land and managing their resources. Urumqi and Lhasa are swamped by Chinese migrants.
4) Uh-uh…No regurgitating CCP propaganda on Dalai Lama on this website! Tell you what, it's not working at all (you guys used it since 1949, it's 2010 now). Why not invent something new and more believable lies?
5) Ha ha, typical Han-chauvinist-speak here. So Uighurs and Tibetans need Chinese "expertise and resources" to save themselves from starvation? Which means it is the almighty Chinese who can save the world? U gotta be kidding! You know what, I know quite a lot of mentally-deranged Hans who come to Tibet to seek blessings and counseling from Tibetan spiritual teachers. China needs Tibet more than ever before; if Beijing is wise to realize it, that is.
Tibet and China are stable? Then why is Beijing so hell-bent on forcing stability in these areas by mobilizing troops, spies, and CCTVs. Your claim that China has own the hearts and minds of the Tibetans and Chinese is the biggest lie of the century.
In the Xinjiang and Sichuan earthquake, many Chinese rescuers risked their lives to save the Tibetians and Uighurs. And many Tibetians and Uighurs said how grateful they were to the Chinese rescuers. Many of these acts were filmed. Only the western media did not translate these clips in English and so the Western people do not know. Nonetheless, some of these clips are in youtube and you can easily find them.
The Chinese government has done a very good job, but not a perfect job in Tibet and Xinjiang. Therefore, the Western media like the Economist can always find fault if they want. Does this mean that the West has a better solution? If China really does what the West has been advocating, will that make the ethnic minorities really better off? The west always like to impose their half baked solution derived from the inaccurate intelligence to other countries and does not give a damn what would happen if things go wrong. Look what happened in Iraq. Firstly, the US has no reliable information about the existance of WMD. Secondly, they foolishly thought they could turn Iraq into a "beacon of democracy" and the "switzerland of middle East". Still, the US invaded Iraq anyway. What happened? Most of the Iraqis have been worse off (if not killed) because of the war.
Law@HK , are you sure that China has "won the hearts and minds" of Tibetans and Uighurs? Why the repression, then? Why the protests, the conspicuous military presence? It is obvious that economic progress, specially when it mainly benefits Han Chinese settlers rather than the native population, is not enough to solve their grievances. China needs to grant Tibet and Xinjiang real autonomy within the PRC, so they can manage their own affairs without feeling dominated by a foreign colonial regime, no matter how benevolent it is or how much "progress" it brings. And yes, to Tibetans and Uighurs, Han Chinese are foreigners, even if they share a long common history.
@crouching tiger hidden dragon & Froy
Your comments are distorting the truth. May I ask where do you gets your facts from? Obviously, you two have not much grasp in facts on the ground. Truth is:
(1) Living standards and the overall human rights by any measure in Tibet and Xinjiang is progressing steadily. Ethnic Tibetians, Uighurs and Hans all benefited from that. This is a fact.
(2) Uighurs is not the only eithnic minority in Xinjiang. There is no riot from other ethnic minority. Does it say something about Rebiya Kadeer's involvement in that?
(3) Uighurs and also many ethnic minorities are allowed more than one child but most of the Hans are only allowed one child.
(4) There was no human rights under the rule of Delai Lama. The sub human living condition for Tibet is well documented. And the brutality of Delai Lama has put Saddam Hussein and Taliabn into shame. China has indeed improved the human rights of Tibet in any measure.
(5) To just maintain Tibet and Xinjiang, a lot of outside expertise and resources are needed. Because of the geography and also the rather still backward development, if these regions ever go independent, they will go into economic disaster or perhaps starvation. Of course, without the basic needs of the people met, there is no point to talk about human rights like religious freedom.
And have you all Western people asked yourself: If Tibet and Xinjiang is as horrible as hell as said by the economist, why these places are much more stable than Iraq and Afghanistan? If the US can keep Afghanistan and Iraq as quiet as Xinjiang and Tibet, then the US has already proclaimed mission accomplished and the US troops can go home with great pride. The US can't and is still fighting with all their advanced weapon. The reason is to stabilise a place, the government has to win the hearts and minds of local people. Chinese government, despite of all the accusation by the West, has indeed won hearts and minds of the local people and that is why Tibet and Xinjiang is by and large stable. The US, despite of all their talk about democracy and freedom, has not.
China continues hiding its head in the sand about the Tibetans and Uighurs' legitimate grievances, just wishing them away and resorting to repression as a cure for everything. Obviously they think that massive Han immigration and suppression of local culture will eventually lead to the assimilation of both ethnic groups, just like they did with most other minorities.
I hope they won't succeed, but prospects are not very optimistic. In the meantime, conflict with recurring violent episodes will continue for the foreseeable future.

CEO event suggests Microsoft Office for iPad is finally coming
PUBLISHED: 18 Mar 2014 09:02:44 | UPDATED: 20 Mar 2014 07:53:04PUBLISHED: 18 Mar 2014 PRINT EDITION: 19 Mar 2014Investors have urged Microsoft to adapt Office for mobile devices from Apple and Google for years, rather than shackling it to Windows as PC sales decline. Photo: Glen Hunt
Microsoft chief executive Satya Nadella may unveil an iPad version of the company's Office software suite on March 27, a source familiar with the event told Reuters, and use his first big press appearance to launch the company's most profitable product in a version compatible with Apple's popular tablet.
Nadella, who replaced longtime CEO Steve Ballmer earlier this year, will address the media and industry executives in San Francisco on March 27.
Investors for years have urged Microsoft to adapt Office for mobile devices from Apple and Google Inc, rather than shackling it to Windows as PC sales decline. But the Redmond, Washington-based software giant has been reluctant to undermine its other lucrative franchise, its PC operating software.
Microsoft gives up some $US2.5 billion a year in revenue by keeping Office off the iPad, which has now sold almost 200 million units, analysts estimate.
Tech blog Re/code first reported news of Nadella's event. Microsoft said in an invitation to reporters that Nadella will discuss "news related to the intersection of cloud and mobile" but declined to comment on the specifics of the CEO's appearance.
Microsoft has had iPad and iPhone versions of Office primed for several months now, sources told Reuters, but the company has dallied on their release due to internal divisions, among other things.
Although Nadella is expected to discuss his thinking in depth next week, the company has already signaled that it will adopt a more liberal attitude toward putting its software on different platforms.
Microsoft said earlier on Monday that it would make OneNote, its note-taking software, available on Mac, a move interpreted by observers as a shot against Evernote, the popular note-taking application that has both Mac and Android compatibility.
Aside from Evernote, Microsoft also faces budding challenges from startups that have released mobile-friendly alternatives to Word, Excel and Powerpoint.

Anyone seen the glyph of incite?
Hs following dev is a guaranteed crit. Crit enrages us increasing our rage gen by 25% More rage means more shield block. I put forth this glyph will not be considered an option or flavorful but mandatory. |
I put forth there will always be mandatory glyphs
I don't think spending 30 rage (half of a Shield Block) for 6 seconds of 25% more rage generation from autoattack (roughly 6 rage total) is going to be mandatory. Using Heroic Strike will still be a massive net rage loss even with this glyph. Part of the problem is that "Enrage" is ridiculously weak at the moment - it only impacts rage from auto-attacks, only lasts 6 seconds, and only changes this by 25%. There probably always will be "mandatory" glyphs that are only replaced very situationally. Right now I'd say that Hold the Line and Heavy Repercussions are probably go-to glyphs in that regard. Glyph of Victory Rush is likely to actually be mandatory for anyone who picks Impending Victory, since it's a flat out 50% buff to the effectiveness of that ability.
Edited by Ahti on 4/15/2012 3:38 PM PDT
You forget about ultimatum procs |
Oops, good point. So it is a small rage gain. (Still don't think that glyph is mandatory, though, because Enrage is worth very little additional rage.)
Edited by Ahti on 4/15/2012 3:44 PM PDT
It's actually worth quite a bit. Just some napkin math, but using devastate twice every 6 seconds will give you roughly a 50% chance to proc ultimatum. So that's a 50% change per cycle to proc a 6 second enrage. It won't exactly work out to a 50% enrage uptime due to overlap and RNG, but that's a lot of extra incoming rage.
E: I'm showing roughly 6.5 rage/s with 0 hit, expertise and mastery. I'm also assuming using berserker rage and a shout on CD and having the 10% melee haste buff. Up that to 50% enrage and I get 6.9 rage/s. That's a pretty big increase in shield block up-time for 1 glyph! That's roughly 550 hit/expertise itemization at level 85.
Edited by Beeparty on 4/15/2012 4:39 PM PDT
Yeah, yeah, accidentally hit the button. :P
"you can intervene your bannerz!" Nope, it's even funnier than when they kept saying "heroic leap will do MASSIVE damage". EDIT: And Gushing Wound.
Edited by Muspel on 4/15/2012 5:32 PM PDT
So we have our priority rotation slam rev tc for debuff dev with hs on ultimatum factoring in a 6 second shield block and/or switching to a 6 second magic reduction as rage allows. We now also want to be enraged as much as possible by smart use of ultimate/incite procs.
Yeah thats not too shabby a rotation, gives enough things to pay attention to while focusing on the the encounter and your cooldown usage. I guess once we get war banners and have a short duration buff to play around with as well it will be fun. |
My only complaint about warriors right now is that their rotation seems rather slow compared to live.
Edited by Deathtime on 4/15/2012 6:06 PM PDT
Honestly, Arms felt kind of more fun to me than on Live. The main thing I noticed was that Overpower tends to proc off of itself with good enough RNG; Sometimes I would end up hitting Overpower until Mortal Strike was off cd. Instant Slam kind of makes it feel different though, but in a good way I feel.
Basically I look at it as our current rotation but slowed down about 50-60% (No math there, just "feeling"). |
I feel like sudden death needs to make your next CS free.
Arms i feel like i have 0 rage or 100 rage |
It's what, 7% more rage using your numbers? That's not really that significant. I'm unclear on what assumptions you're using for crit block rate - you'll have some enrage uptime from that regardless, and the more enrage you already have, obviously the less you gain from this glyph, Also not sure how you're arriving at the 550 hit/expertise conclusion, so maybe you could explain that a bit more. The one thing it does have going for it is that there are very few defensive glyphs out there providing competition, so in that regard it could end up being a strong choice, I'll grant you that.
Edited by Ahti on 4/15/2012 7:11 PM PDT
I was actually referencing Gushing Wound's potential issues in PvE, but we can definitely get the party people in the house down.

I'm unclear on what assumptions you're using for crit block rate - you'll have some enrage uptime from that regardless, and the more enrage you already have, obviously the less you gain from this glyph, Also not sure how you're arriving at the 550 hit/expertise conclusion, so maybe you could explain that a bit more. Sure: RPS = Hit% * (RPS-Base * (1 + Haste%) * (1.25 * Enrage% + (1 - Enrage%)) + RPS-SS) + RPS-Shout RPS: Rage Per Second Hit%: Your chance to hit (1 - 7.5% * 3 for miss, dodge and parry at 0 hit and expertise) RPS-Base: 5 rage per second Haste%: I've been using 10% for the melee haste buff and no other haste Enrage%: The percentage up time on rage. I've been using 10% for using berserker rage on CD. I have NOT included crit block in this, which as you mention is important. We do know, however what the lower bound (effectively ~10%) and upper bound is (100%). Work needs to be done here, because crit blocks will lower the value of Glyph of Incite. However, I'm pretty sure crit blocks are less likely to happen. RPS-SS: Rage per second from shield slam. 1 2/3s for SS on CD or up to 2 1/3s when fishing for Revenge procs correctly. RPS-Shout: Rage per second from using a shout on CD At 0 hit, haste (not count buff), expertise, mastery and avoidance, using berserker rage and a shout on CD, you will generate 6.51 r/s. This translates into roughly 65% shield block uptime, assuming no overlapping and no wasted rage. Putting the enrage % at 50%, increase this to 6.94 r/s, or 69% shield block up time. The 550 hit + expertise comes from determining that that is the amount of those stats you would need to get about 6.9 r/s assuming haste is 10% and enrage% is 10%. So there are definitely assumptions going into this and it's a bit contrived since you'll have some amount of these stats. However, hit, haste and expertise scales positively with glyph of incite, while all three scale negatively with mastery. Mastery itself is in a weird place, since pushing increased SB up time reduces the value of half mastery. The crit block half depends on how much effective block% you gain from hit, haste and expertise versus mastery. Hit, haste and expertise give a linear increase is SB%, while mastery has DR. Also, 7% more rage is effectively 7% more shield block uptime. In a way, you can think of it as 7% more CTC coverage. If we could hit 10 r/s, assuming no SB overlaps or capping rage, you'd have 100% SB coverage and effectively back to 100% CTC. In the new glyph system, that's very significant, even if the value diminishes with increasing mastery (just like hit, expertise and haste). |

Accidentally deleted Google Places, where I can redownload it from?
So I guess when I was deleted apps, I accidentally deleted Google Places and didn't realize it. Total bummer.
Does anyone know where I can redownload this app from? I can't find it on the market. Can't find it via Google search either -
I don't have a clue where you can download but do you realize that the places app is built in the Google maps app... it's located on the top left. This is the one I use so that I can utilize the space for other icons.
You can try uninstalling and reinstalling the lastest Google maps updates because that was part of one of the Google maps updates... this is why you won't see it in the market. - 12-07-2010, 02:03 PM #3
Kinster is correct. If you're referring to the "Places" shortcut in the app drawer, I believe that is just a shortcut to the Places section in Google Maps. The Places button is found at the top, and looks like a pinpoint.

Whats more confusing, Malazan Series or Prince of Nothing trilogy
I am going to start a new book, and I heard that both are kinda confusing, and was going to go with whatever people around here think is the lesser confusing out of two. Any advice?

Malazan is a lot more confusing, but also a lot more fun. Not to say Bakker isn't good as well, just a lot grittier with a lot more philosophy.
August 24th, 2010, 12:24 AM #3
Malazan is waaaaaay more confusing. At times this is a fun quality, it gives you that swept away feeling, and at other times, it can be no fun at all as something seemingly super important happens and you say to yourself: "what the hell just happened, and who the hell is that person it just happened to?"
I'd give Bakker's stuff the nod.

Hmmmm...I very much prefer the Malazan over the Prince of Nothing series. BUT: Malazan is much more complex than Prince of Nothing. So, I'd have to recommend you to go with Bakker. Feels weird though...
August 24th, 2010, 01:05 PM #5
It depends upon what you mean by "confusing." In terms of story and plot structure then Malazan is a lot more confusing, at least at first. It took me about 150 pages to get into Gardens of the Moon and have a strong sense of what was going on--I've heard it takes some folks a book or two (why they keep reading, I don't know!). Prince of Nothing is more philosophical, especially from the main viewpoint character Drusus Achamian, so if you find that sort of thing confusing then I wouldn't go there. But the basic plot of Prince of Nothing is relatively straight forward, there are just a lot of subtleties and extended passages of philosophical angst and pathos .
August 24th, 2010, 01:53 PM #6
Malazan is by far the more confusing, mainly because it contradicts itself all the time, with later installments overwriting history again and again.
Bakker is not confusing at all, in any way. That is, if one can read and think at the same time, which I've always found to be a wonderful ability to have...
I'd go for Bakker. Unlike Erikson, he delivers on his promises. Also - finished .Always a big plus.
August 24th, 2010, 03:29 PM #7
Malazan is more confusing. It's also way, way, way longer (10 huge books, instead of 3 average sized books).
But, it's also much more enjoyable. I liked Prince of Nothing, but it's no Malazan.
August 24th, 2010, 04:04 PM #8
That depends. Had I only read books 1-5 of Malazan, I'd probably say the same. But considering the huge drop in quality after book 6, I'd say that Bakker was more enjoyable to me. Also, better written in terms of style.
August 24th, 2010, 04:11 PM #9
I enjoyed Malazan more, but I've only read the first three books so far. I liked the Prince of Nothing and plan on continuing it with the Judging Eye, but boy is it gloomy. By biggest beef with Bakker as a writer--and it is a significant one--is that none of his characters every experience joy, happiness, or humor...or at least very, very rarely. Everyone is miserable, except for Kellhus, and he's basically not a real person so he doesn't count. I really like Achamian but I wish Bakker would give him a break. Jeez.

I decided that I am going to read Prince of Nothing. I would rather read multiple trilogy books, instead of a huge 10 book series that seems to always go down in quality. And the fact that its very gloomy,sad, and unhappy is only all the more appealing to me

Not only is Prince of Nothing gloomy, but a major problem some people have with it (including myself) is that nearly every character is extremely unlikeable. I mean, I actually hated nearly every character. Not hate as in "love to hate" (like when you can't wait for a villain to get what they deserve), but hate as in "I can't even stand reading about this character, I hate them so much". And these are the protagonists, not the villains!
I only liked two characters (Achamian and Cnaiur), and some people don't even like them.
Otherwise, PoN is very well written (probably what I liked best about it) and raises interesting ideas.

Malazan is complex, not confusing. Pon is confusing, but not very complex.
August 25th, 2010, 09:40 AM #14
Well I can enjoy a bit of gloom and misery but it has to be balanced with other things: humor, love, joy, wonder, etc. There is no balance with Bakker, it seems. I've wondered if the guy experiences any joy that isn't a quick flash in the pan and then inevitably doomed to misery. Poor guy
August 25th, 2010, 10:28 AM #15
I like every character in PoN, so there you have it Different opinions abound. It's just that nobody in the series (apart from Kellhus, and he is... special) is in any way "heroic" or "cool", and people have a hard time liking them for that reason.
Btw, I challenge hawkeye to go through the entire ancient history of the Malazan world and try to make a consistent timeline. THEN you can tell me it's not confusing and simply "complex". For something to be "complex", it has to avoid contradiction.

Dream interpretations date back to 3000-4000 B.C., where they were documented on clay tablets. For as long as we have been able to talk about our dreams, we have been fascinated with them and have strived to understand them. In some primal societies, members were unable to distinguish between the dream world and the waking world. Or they could simply choose not to make the distinction. They saw that the dream.

A monetary history of the United States, 1867-1960
by Milton Friedman
61 editions published between 1963 and 2008 in 3 languages and held by 2,327 WorldCat member libraries worldwide Writing in the June 1965 issue of theEconomic Journal, Harry G. Johnson begins with a sentence seemingly calibrated to the scale of the book he set himself to review: "The long-awaited monetary history of the United States by Friedman and Schwartz is in every sense of the term a monumental scholarly achievement--monumental in its sheer bulk, monumental in the definitiveness of its treatment of innumerable issues, large and small ... monumental, above all, in the theoretical and statistical effort and ingenuity that have been brought to bear on the solution of complex and subtle economic issu

A Retrospective on the classical gold standard, 1821-1931
by Michael D Bordo
9 editions published between 1984 and 2009 in English and Italian and held by 1,003 WorldCat member libraries worldwide This is a timely review of the gold standard covering the 110 years of its operation until 1931, when Britain abandoned it in the midst of the Depression. Current dissatisfaction with floating rates of exchange has spurred interest in a return to a commodity standard. The studies in this volume were designed to gain a better understanding of the historical gold standard, but they also throw light on the question of whether restoring it today could help cure inflation, high interest rates, and low productivity growth. The volume includes a review of the literature on the classical gold standard
The great contraction, 1929-1933
by Milton Friedman
52 editions published between 1963 and 2009 in 3 languages and held by 974 WorldCat member libraries worldwide Friedman and Schwartz's A Monetary History of the United States, 1867-1960, published in 1963, stands as one of the most influential economics books of the twentieth century. A landmark achievement, the book marshalled massive historical data and sharp analytics to support the claim that monetary policy - steady control of the money supply - matters profoundly in the management of the nation's economy, especially in navigating serious economic fluctuations. The chapter, entitled The Great Contraction, 1929-33, addressed the central economic event of the century, the Great Depression. Published as a stand-alone paperback in 1965, The Great Contraction, 1929-1933 argued that the Federal Reserve could have stemmed the severity of the Depression, but failed to exercise its role of managing the monetary system and ameliorating banking panics.The book served as a clarion call to the monetarist school of thought by emphasizing the importance of the money supply in the functioning of the economy - a concept that has come to inform the actions of central banks worldwide. This edition of the original text includes a new preface by Anna Jacobson Schwartz, as well as a new introduction by the economist Peter Bernstein. It also reprints comments from the current Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke, originally made on the occasion of Milton Friedman's 90th birthday, on the enduring influence of Friedman and Schwartz's work and vision

Why clashes between internal and external stability goals end in currency crises, 1797-1994
by Michael D Bordo
11 editions published between 1995 and 1997 in English and held by 95 WorldCat member libraries worldwide We argue that recent currency crises reflect clashes between fundamentals and pegged exchange rates, just as did crises in the past. We reject the view that crises reflect self-fulfilling prophecies that are not closely related to measured fundamentals. Doubts about the timing of a market attack on a currency are less important than the fact that it is bound to happen if a government's policies are inconsistent with pegged exchange rates. We base these conclusions on a review of currency crises in the historical record under metallic monetary regimes and of crises post-World War II under Bretton Woods, and since, in European and Latin American pegged exchange rate regimes

Real versus pseudo-international systemic risk : some lessons from history
by Michael D Bordo
12 editions published in 1995 in English and held by 86 WorldCat member libraries worldwide Abstract: This paper considers the meaning of domestic and international systemic risk. It examines scenarios that have been adduced as creating systemic risk both within countries and among them. It distinguishes between the concepts of real and pseudo-systemic risk. We examine the history of episodes commonly viewed either as financial crises or as evidencing systemic risk to glean lessons for today. We also present some statistical evidence on possible recent systemic risk linkages between the stock markets of emerging countries. The paper concludes with a discussion of the lessons yielded by the record
Under what circumstances, past and present, have international rescues of countries in financial distress been successful?
by Michael D Bordo
8 editions published between 1998 and 1999 in English and held by 83 WorldCat member libraries worldwide Abstract: Recent events in Asia and other parts of the globe have prompted calls from many quarters for international rescue of the monetary or fiscal authorities of distressed countries. We contrast the experience before 1973 of rescues of monetary authorities of advanced countries temporarily short of liquidity with recent experience of bailouts. International rescues in the past involved relatively small amounts of money, sufficient to stave off devaluation or abandonment of a fixed exchange rate, while remedial policies were put in place. Recent bailouts involve handing over relatively large amounts to both foreign lenders and domestic investors after devaluation of a pegged exchange rate to avoid their incurring wealth losses. We document past rescues, whether successful or unsuccessful, by monetary regimes different today from past experience
Measuring real economic effects of bailouts : historical perspectives on how countries in financial distress have fared with and without bailouts
by Michael D Bordo
8 editions published in 2000 in English and held by 80 WorldCat member libraries worldwide Abstract: In this paper we first trace the changing nature of banking, currency and debt crises from the last century to the present. Each type of crisis has transmogrified in the presence of official intervention and the creation of a safety net. A similar pattern is observed for international rescue loans. We then present evidence suggesting that the incidence has increased and the severity of financial crises has changed little in emerging markets from the pre-1914 era to the present. Finally we assess the impact of IMF loans on the macro performance of the recipients. A simple with-without comparison of countries receiving IMF assistance during crises in the period 1973-98 with countries in the same region not receiving assistance suggests that the real performance of the former group was possibly worse than the latter. Similar results obtain adjusting for self-selection bias and counterfactual policies
From obscurity to notoriety : a biography of the Exchange Stabilization Fund
by Anna J Schwartz
8 editions published in 1996 in English and held by 77 WorldCat member libraries worldwide The U.S. Treasury's $20 billion loan to Mexico in January 1995 from the Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) brought to public notice the fund that had functioned in obscurity since its authorization by the Gold Reserve Act of January 31, 1934. The design of the ESF, as set forth in the statute, contributed to its obscurity. Its stated mission was to stabilize the exchange value of the dollar, but it has also assumed a role that had no mandate, that of lender to favored countries. ESF's intervention activities and the Federal Reserve's warehousing of ESF foreign currency assets are questionable. A statistical profile of the ESF accounts for the growth of its working balance from $200 million in 1934 to $42.6 billion in assets in 1995
The rise and fall of foreign exchange market intervention
by Anna J Schwartz
9 editions published in 2000 in English and held by 77 WorldCat member libraries worldwide Abstract: The premise of the paper is that the fervor for foreign exchange market intervention by U.S, and European monetary authorities has ebbed in recent years. A pattern of initial belief in the effectiveness of foreign exchange market intervention has recently been eroded, as is revealed by the absence of intervention in circumstances that in earlier times would have invoked it. Only the Bank of Japan among central banks of the developed world has not thusfar abandoned its faith that intervention can change the relative value of the yen as determined by market forces to conform with its notion of what that value should be. To explain why U.S. and European monetary authorities no longer believe that intervention is a tool that works, I review the equivocal record of past episodes, the inconclusive results of empirical research, and the problems of implementation that intervention advocates ignore more

It works fine, except for mail from mailing lists (such as lfs and blfs support) which is all forwarded to the postmaster. I'm running fetchmail and postfix with maximum logging option in order to debug and trace the problem but it still is unclear is it is fetchmail or postfix who is responsible for the unrecognised header.

It has come to my attention that if we want anything to change with this organization we are going to have to pressure Mr. Richardson where he can actually be pressured. His wallet. I want nothing more than to field a good football team with a competent coaching staff.
You realize that the vast amount of income for an NFL team comes from the NFL TV contracts, right? And not from the gate?

I have given the loss over 24 hours to soak in. I stand by my original statement. The best thing I can do for our team is no longer financially support it.
I understand that some of you are already financially constrained by PSLs. But, for those of you who aren't, hear my battle cry. Do not pay Jerry Richardson for this pathetic excuse for a coaching staff.
I will not spend another dime on the Panthers until a new head coach (and possibly OC) is established in Carolina.
I've been in this boat since I watched jake implode a few years back on a chilly Saturday night following a Home field bye-week.
I wear an old hat on game day from like '04. I watch the OTA Fox broadcast. I hope to get back some day. I miss the place. Its not hard though to skip out on this garbage. And for me it gets easier each week. They keep proving me right.
The one thing I've learned about boycotting is that nobody gives a poo if you do it or not. It only means something to you.
Posted 17 September 2013 - 06:08 PM
I haven't spent $0.01 on the Panthers since 2010. Once JR shows me he is going to be committed to building a winning franchise then I'll spend money again. Finally firing Hurney was a good step, but then he turns around and keeps Rivera to save money. Ugh.
I'm still a fan, I still follow everything they do, watch all their games on TV, ect. This wasn't done as a message to JR, or trying to hurt his bottom line or anything like that. It's simply that I'm not going to spend my hard earned money on an inferior product. There are far better ways to spend my money and plenty of companies that will gladly give me a quality product for it instead of the junk JR peddles every Sunday.

I am still a fan of the team and will continue to follow them in every media aspect that I can. However, I am done attending games. I am done buying jerseys. I am done going out of my way to spend money on this franchise until Mr. Richardson proves that he is as dedicated as his fans.

NCAA rules not broken, UNC says
The NCAA has told University of North Carolina officials that the university apparently did not break NCAA rules in the scandal surrounding the school's Afro and African-American Studies Department, according to a statement released by the school Friday.
North Carolina, which first notified the NCAA that it had identified potential academic issues involving student-athletes in AFAM courses a year ago, updated the NCAA enforcement staff on Aug. 23 about the situation.
"The NCAA staff reaffirmed to university officials that no NCAA rules appeared to have been broken," the school said in its statement.
In May, UNC made public an internal probe that found 54 AFAM classes were either "aberrant" or "irregularly" taught from summer 2007 to summer 2011. That included unauthorized grade changes, forged faculty signatures on grade rolls, and limited or no class time.
UNC has said that no student received a grade without submitting written work. But more than 50 percent of the students in those suspect classes were athletes. As first reported by The News & Observer of Raleigh, one class last summer had an enrollment of 19 -- 18 football players and one former football player.
Late last month, a faculty committee looking into the scandal issued a new report stating that academic counselors assigned to the athletes may have steered them into those classes. Then former two-sport athlete Julius Peppers' transcript was discovered on UNC's website, showing that numerous classes in the AFAM department helped Peppers stay eligible before he left UNC early for the NFL after the 2001 season. Peppers was an AFAM Studies major.
His transcript raised more questions about how far back the department's problems were and helped spawn a new independent probe, led by former North Carolina Gov. James G. Martin. That investigation is reaching back before 2007.
UNC reiterated Friday that it shared the results of its original internal probe with the NCAA on Aug. 24, 2011 -- well before the NCAA sanctioned the football program last March for improper benefits and academic misconduct involving a tutor.
An enforcement staff member made "several" trips to Chapel Hill in the fall of 2011, according to the statement, and found "no violations of current NCAA rules or student-athlete eligibility issues related to courses in African and Afro-American Studies."
The university also supplied the NCAA with a copy of the internal review it finished in May.
"University officials will continue to keep the NCAA informed as developments warrant," the statement said.

Kekkei genkai are abilities passed down genetically within specific clans.
Kekkei genkai and their related techniques cannot be taught to or copied by others. Although kekkei genkai are usually genetically shared within a specific clan, sometimes it is unique to one person alone, and that even family relatives do not share it.
Generally, all shinobi possess one chakra nature. That's besides the nature they obtain from training. There are different natures, so the more chakra natures shinobi have, the better. That's why most jonin possess multiple chakra natures. However, there are those born with two chakra natures, who are able to fuse the two and create new chakra. They are known as Kekkei Genkai shinobi. For example: Yamato's Wood style is a combination of water and earth. Darui uses a Gale Style, that's a combination of lightning and water chakra.

India should have envisaged this problem long bank and should have concocted some measures regarding population control. Evan now when in coming 10 years we are about to surpass China as world's most populous nation with 1/3 of land compared to China we don't have any strict policy regarding population control just to please some particular section of community which will have catastrophic effect on India's economy as vast majority of those people wouldn't indulge in any productive work eating all taxpayer's money through public distribution system and other welfare schemes.Number of unemployed in recent years in India have become huge.Let's face it there are millions of student graduating every year out of which only handful of getting job and most of them end up getting underemployed or unemployed.Over the years cumulative number of unemployment is going to increase which will have a huge toll on economy and further resentment among those qualified unemployed will have further implications.India has past is prime, from here India is only heading towards is imminent total failure.
Do you think India should have some form of China's One-Child Policy?
Absolutely yes,if one child policy is too harsh at least 2 child policy should have implemented by now with strict adherence to it.Let's face it , it's ultimately the weaker and illiterate section of the society who reproduce in quite numbers with a view that their child attaining the age of 12-13 making them drop out of school, would start working, hence supporting the family through in productive labor means.The years of cycle like this has what made India a 2nd most populous state with 2/3rd of them below poverty line.Now for those 2/3rd of them our Govt. has various schemes to sustain them like the newly Food security bill which will provide them with 5 kg of food grain per person at almost no price and other various multi-billion dollar schemes have been going ever since to keep them going.All the revenue of Indian govt. is being channeled in this schemes keeping them hardly with any money to create sufficient jobs.More over with increasing population there has been scarcity of land resulting in more and more difficulties to get clearance from the Govt. for large manufacturing plants leading to fewer jobs creation.As an Indian i see only misery for most of the Indians in coming years because we just don't have that much resources to support that big a population which is increasing by leaps and bounds as i firmly believe none of the Indian political parties have any courage to address this problem in foreseeable future like China did.
Yes indeed, India needs more rational people like you, politicians in your country have to tell you people the devastating effect of population explosion.
while I think actually lots of Indians know this problem, but for many reasons, like it's hard to arrive consensus within your government, your religion beliefs etc. But when it comes to the future of your nation, your people, it is time to show Indians' wisdom and courage.
You know, in the current phrase of development, sometimes truth is in the hand of a few insightful people, because if every decision has to take all factors into consideration, then finally nothing can be down.
No need of forcing anyone. But Govt. is using tax payers money to provide subsidies and freebees and to create unproductive jobs to help poor. Poor people still remain poor because they have many children to feed. Let people decide how many children they need. But Govt. should not provide subsidies to people who have more than 2 children till they do sterilization. High population growth means low demand for work force we export and high demand for commodities we import.

Christmas Storms Compensation Could Be Raised
The energy regulator may recommend increased compensation payments for homes left in the dark for extended periods after the Christmas storms.
Ofgem has confirmed an investigation into the responses from UK Power Networks (UKPN) and SSE, compared with other Distribution Network Operators, when the bad weather struck.
The watchdog threatened possible fines and said additional payments for victims of poor service could be ordered - on top of the £7.5m already pledged by UKPN and SSE.
Ofgem said that while one million customers were without power for at least three minutes after the storms, 95% of them were reconnected within 24 hours.
Approximately 16,000 households suffered lengthy cuts of over 48 hours but of these more than 500 premises in the UKPN and SSE Southern regions were without supply for over five days.
The watchdog added: "There was also a lack of consistency when it came to handling customer enquiries.
"One in five callers in UKPN and SSE Southern regions decided to hang up before speaking to an adviser whilst Western Power Distribution (WPD) answered calls almost immediately."
The two companies at the centre of the inquiry have been ordered to report back to Ofgem on how they will improve their performance in the future at the same time as their responses are investigated.
The Government had called on the distributors to cancel Christmas holidays at the height of the crisis, amid suggestions they were unable to cope with the scale of the damage to supplies because of the festive season.
Basil Scarsella, chief executive of UKPN which owns electricity lines and cables in London, the South East and east of England, has already admitted it was not prepared for the storm and too many staff were on holiday.
Hannah Nixon, Senior Partner for Distribution at Ofgem said: "Being without electricity is difficult for customers at the best of times, let alone during a holiday period.
"Whilst we recognise the hard work of the DNOs' operational staff during the severe weather over Christmas 2013, we are very concerned with the variations in the effect of the storms on customers in different areas.
"Our principal duty is to protect the interest of consumers. We will be looking at increasing guaranteed standards payments during severe weather.
"If our further investigation into the performance of UKPN and SSE during the 2013 Christmas storms suggests that these companies have breached their licence conditions, we will undertake enforcement action that could result in a financial penalty."

A new grimace in town...and his crime...caught on tape...
"Ha.. ha...ha .. that's so crazy."
Customers are talking about this surveillance video...that shows a man walking into McDonald's and heading straight for one of the cash registers. He fumbles around with it....but when it won't budge he changes his order and instead...
"Loads up an arm full of the yogurt parfaits and heads for the door."
That's right...no golden nuggets...only 5-dollars worth of yogurt. But this sweet story doesn't end here. When police watched this surveillance video, one of the officers recognized the man.
And were even more shocked when they say they looked outside and saw the man, walking right in front of the restaurant again...covered in evidence.
"He still had some glass from when he had broken the door to get in on him."
Police say this man...Christopher McGlauflin.. is behind the great Mc-Yogurt heist. He now faces several charges for running off with the fast food.
"If you're going to get the charge for breaking in you might as well get something out of it. We've seen a little bit of everything... it's a crime but it was still kind of amusing for the officers that were involved."
"Now he's in jail for yogurt -- that's silly!"
Police booked McGlauflin on the charges of burglary, theft, and criminal mischief.

Five days removed from a romping win with Tapiture in the Southwest Stakes at Oaklawn Park, Winchell Thoroughbreds and Steve Asmussen were at it again, and this time the graded stakes victory came even easier. Ridden by Rosie Napravnik, Untapable undressed a talented field of three-year-old fillies in route to a 9 ½ length runaway victory in today's $200,000 Rachel Alexandra Stakes as part of Lousiana Derby Preview Day at Fair Grounds.
Sitting pretty in the middle of the pack as Streaming and Army battled for the early advantage, Untapable always looked like a winner as she moved comfortably down the backstretch. Making her move on the far turn, after being given her marching orders from Rosie, she quickly moved to the leaders, and effortlessly went right on by. In what on paper looked like a competitive affair going in, this decision was complete at the head of the stretch, and Untapable continued to widen her advantage the rest of the way in front of an appreciative crowd in the Big Easy.
It was hard to notice anything but the impressive winner, unless you were looking to fill out your exotic tickets, but eventually, Got Lucky rallied late to finish second, edging out Shanon Nicole by a neck for second place money.
Let go as the fourth choice in the field of seven, Untapable returned $10.80 for the win. The bay daughter of Tapit completed the 1 1/16-mile distance over the fast main track of the Fair Grounds in 1:43.64. By means of comparison, Untapable's final time was a fifth of a second faster than both Intense Holiday, while winning the male version of the Rachel Alexandra in the Risen Star, and the older male Bradester did in taking the Mineshaft Handicap a little later in the card. The winning rider praised her filly after the romp.
"I had lots of confidence in her," said Napravnik. "Steve has done an excellent job with her, and I'm thankful they put me back on her. It was a wide trip which just goes to show you how much the best she was."
Much the best indeed. Next for Untapable should be the last leg of the Fair Grounds' road to the Kentucky Oaks, the Grade 2 Fair Grounds Oaks on March 29, where she will likely meet the impressive winner of the first leg of the series, Unbridled Forever.
Keep in mind that in the last nine editions of the Fair Grounds Oaks, five have gone on to win the Kentucky Oaks on the first Friday in May. Untapable earned 50 points towards entry into the prestigious Churchill Downs race.
Meanwhile, Ria Antonia, who was awarded first after a relentless rally in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies, never really got going and struggled home in fourth, while the race favorite, Streaming backed out badly to wind up last.
In taking his second big win of the week in stride, winning trainer Steve Asmussen spoke of Untapable's progression from two to three.
"The filly, she acted extremely well today. You know, Rosie worked her in the morning," said Asmussen. "We think she is better than she was last year and I think she showed that today. There were two Grade 1 winners in that race and we had a lot of respect for the field."
Better than last year for sure, and Untapable likely now sits as the early Kentucky Oaks favorite after today's big win. She raised her lifetime record to 5-3-0-1, which includes a victory over the Churchill Downs' main track in the Grade 2 Pocahontas Stakes. In the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies, she may have been checked and eased, but it certainly appears that poor experience is now lost in Untapable's rearview mirror. Today she was untouchable.

Revolutionary Impact. 1911 or Glock. Hmmmm. 1911 Swinging link that unlocks barrel from the slide. There were plenty of other semi auto around at the time and many different breech locking mechanisms. The swinging link system is in probably 90% of the non blowback semi autos. The glock barrel cam is the same action as the 1911. Beretta uses a locking block or rotating barrel on some models. So I'm gonna have to say 1911 has that revolutionary design feature. The grip safety was added later at the request of the cavalry. The original safety was pretty small. A tiny tab that is nothing like the later more refined versions. The grip on the 1911 feels great but I would not call that revolutionary. I love the 1911 but that is all I think is Revolutionary.
Now to the Glock. What is revolutionary. A guy with no experience with guns assembles a group a designs a masterpiece on the first try. Brownings father was a gunsmith and browning had several attempts untill he got the 1911 right. OK so Gaston had the advantage of new technology. Yes Browning was a more mechanical genius without question. Gaston wanted to produce a gun for his countries armed forces. So did JMB. Here is what's revolutionary. Using plastic grip frames with good triggers and offering extreme relibility. The HK VP70 was the first plastic framed handgun and had high cap 9mm magazines. But from what I can tell, the really bad trigger pull, high cost, and limited marketing caused poor sales and led to its lack of sucess. They Glock frame would not rust or show wear like steel or aluminum.
It also happened to weigh alot less than even aluminum. It has actually proven better suited to heavy loads versus the steel 1911. Remeber the Colt Delta Elite 10mm auto. They eventually crack from all the battering. While the Glock 20 with a plastic frame is the only gun that continually handles the abuse. Ok next on the revolutionary side. Gaston used a non firearm finish. The Tennifer process that gets into the metal is amazing. In 1986 no other gun manufacturers had anything like this. So there is revolutionary. After that the rest of the indusrty tried to come up with better process's than 200 year old chemical rust finishes. I have seen a glock evidence gun that the police recovered after being submerged over 8 months in a river. The only spot that had any rust was three spots on the slide where rocks had finally worh thorugh to the bare metal. The gun was cleaned up after being sold back to a dealer. The rest of the finish was great. The 1911 won't do that. JMB didn't use stainless either. OK what else. Gaston added simplicity to the design and manufacture of the gun.
They overall cost of the weapon was low with the quality being high. Somehow Gaston got his gun to function with huge ammounts of dirt and abuse yet still be reliable and accurate. The 1911 that JMB made was a much loser fit gun to allow for functioning under battlefield conditions. The super tight 1911's we have today won't handle the dirt like a glock will. Also everything you read about the first 1911's is that the have soft steel. Heat treating improved between WWI to WWII. So the glock has a more revolutionary frame. He used a material that people didn't think was worthy and changed the whole freakin industry. How many gun companies are making frames out of polymer now. Heck even the High end STI 1911 wide body race guns have plastic grips.
The 1911 is a great gun. The Glock is even better. John Moses Browning was a brilliant innovator that built plenty of variations of the same theme. He did not have the ability to make plastic frames that would stand up to recoil better than steel. But if JMB were still alive today hw would not be like gun snobs of today and hold something against a pistol that had a plastic frame. I think he would take a long look at the design and execution and congratulate Gaston on a fine piece of weaponry. Yes the 1911 is more beautiful than the slab sided utilitarianess of the glock. The glock has grown on me just as pure function being beautiful. When I look at the other polymer guns out there today. They have slides and frames that are being designed to be more stylish or sexy. But without much added function. I love the 1911 but Glock has done a better job and imagine how refined it will be in 100 years.

In patients with longstanding active rheumatoid arthritis with inadequate disease control, head-to-head comparisons were made of combined DMARDs and DMARD monotherapy. Overall, combination treatment with biologic DMARDs and an oral DMARD is more effective than either used as monotherapy. Disease activity, radiographic progression, functional status, and quality of life all are greater improved with the combination therapy. The strength of evidence for these findings varies among the specific outcomes, with most supported by moderate or high strength of evidence.
Abbreviations:DMARD = disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug; MTX = methotrexate; RA = rheumatoid arthritis; RCT = randomized controlled trial; SOE = strength of evidence; SSZ = sulfasalazine

Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month
Pros:Its made of Hard rubber / plastic. It is very durable.
The mounts are very cheap so you can not go wrong with that.
The only thing that is a minus is that the mount is a little bit to big so it is not the beautiest bicycle mount you can find.
OtherThoughts:You can think of it as a universal mount since you can modify the plastic as you wiash to hold the flashlight that you have. You can bend it, cut it, melt it and so on. You have enough material to work with.
And it can be mount on any size of bicycle since you get a rubber thing with it which you can use to mount it on thin bicycle parts.
The bottomline of this is that i am tying to get 500 words to see what happens but still its a good prodiut, buy it you will not regret it.

Sydney, Australia (PRWEB) April 11, 2013
In an article last month in the New York Times, it's suggested that the bacteria found in a person's gut can actually determine if he or she will lose or gain weight. This research is linked to gastric bypass surgery, which removes part of the stomach, shrinking it, and rearranging parts of the intestines, which helps to shift the balance of bacteria in the digestive tract.
Those who have had such a surgery have lost approximately 65 to 75 percent of their body weight. Despite the positive physical reaction to gastric bypass, scientists have yet to understand why. More research into the matter has brought up the theory that bacterial changes within the body after the surgery might account for as much as 20 percent of the weight loss.
If this idea proves true, this could mean that scientists and doctors could help people lose weight without the need for surgery. This came from Dr. Lee M. Kaplan, who is the director of the obesity, metabolism and nutrition institute at the Massachusetts General Hospital. The findings of this recent research means that it's possible that non-invasive treatments could help adjust the microbe level (or microbiota) in the gut.
"There is a need for other therapies," Dr. Kaplan said. "In no way is manipulating the microbiota going to mimic all the myriad effects of gastric bypass. But if this could produce 20 percent of the effects of surgery, it will still be valuable."
There are much less invasive and expensive ways to lose weight than gastric bypass, like using diet pills and supplements, such as Liproxenol. Because it's already been shown to be a

Are you suggesting a Sophia ending?! Lee, after doing whatever with the Campman, goes inside the building where she is with the remaining members. They look around, and suddenly and stare in disbelief as one of them says "Oh my god...". And a zombified Clementine slowly stumbles around the corner. Lee drops to his knees, giving up all hope.
hmm, if ben lived, he may sacrifice his life for clem. that's what i've been thinking.
@Crixus said: It would be a big twist but i think lee is definitely going to die because sadly he was truly bitten,i believe this now more then after after seeing the first screenshot for episode 5.

Dude, he just cut a walker's head into half.
How couldn't that make your face look pale ?

he stomped a lot of walker heads and never looked pale like that
Or it turns out that Aliens unleashed the virus to destroy humanity but Lee is the human subject they want to test so he can't die but Clem does.
Talk about a plot twist.

I personally do think Clementine will die in the end, as will Lee. I reckon Lee will go in a similar fashion to [spoilers for the show here] T-Dog when he finds that Clem has died. He will save whoever is left at that point by giving himself up.
Clementine will die because this is The Walking Dead. And to have Clementine survive and sail into the sunset I feel would probably undermine the whole grim reality we've been thrown into. And even if she did survive, how long could she REALLY survive post-episode five. They aren't going to find a cure, or a miraculous zombie-free colony where she grows up happy and healthy. No matter how, everyone is doomed. Especially Lee.
