Curiosity Mars rover to investigate classic rock type 7:09pm on 09 May 2013 After reading through all of these comments, I am struck by one outstanding mystery.Why does the BBC not have a progressively indented "reply to" system? Armed drones operated from RAF base in UK, says MoD 10:23am on 27 Apr 2013 Looks like the "Hearts and Minds" approach is well and truly dead and buried. UK will ultimately join euro says Lord Heseltine 5:37pm on 20 Nov 2011 There's no fool like an old fool. The G20 aren't running to Europe's rescue 7:37pm on 04 Nov 2011 The obvious answer is to run the Eurozone like the Premier League.Every year, the weakest is "demoted" along with a parachute payment, while the strongest Championship aspirant is allowed in. Eurozone leaders admit exit from euro is possible 8:21pm on 03 Nov 2011 Can't be bothered to comment.Except on an unusual lack of Europhiles on this site. Do St Paul's protesters need to camp overnight? 7:22pm on 26 Oct 2011 Apologies if others have commented thus, I do not have time to read all comments, but I am sure that about 99% of people viewing the infrared pictures of overnight empty tents say, "just take the bloody things down" The eurozone crisis: a German point of view 8:46pm on 30 Sep 2011 Assume the worst.European federalism will prevail.Britain's government will acquiesce.Britain's public will say "Well it was going to happen"Britain's males will accept without a whimper that their females are being screwed by their government who would rather cut their pensions and send the money abroad instead.What a shameful episode! Global shares jump on reports of eurozone debt deal 10:04pm on 21 Jul 2011 To Maturecheese,You have hit the nail on the head.If you readers of these posts voted Lib/Lab Con, and wonder if we as a nation could be doing better, look in the mirror and see who's to blame. Global shares jump on reports of eurozone debt deal 9:51pm on 21 Jul 2011 To JaggyUar, yes, you are correct.All hands to the pumps, no.Sadly, our government has proved to be incompetent at protecting our financial interests.Therefore, it's every man or woman for themselves.With best wishes,KeithDraw all of your money out and buy gold BP dividend suspension: Not whether, but when 02:05am on 12 Jun 2010 I do not know the level of anti-British sentiment in the US over BP but suspect that it is low.However in the UK, if BP is pushed to extinction by President Obama, the anti-American sentiment will be massive, popular opinion will force the government to withdraw UK forces from Afghanistan, "Why should our troops die waging America's war"?Then in the US, when they realise that they have lost their only friend in the world, President Obama's ass will be grass. Bad news is good news 10:12pm on 08 Jun 2010 Number 17, random_thought, and number 24, splendidhashbrowns have made good points, debt write offs and falls in asset prices will happen on an international scale and our own Quangos must be scrapped.Having recently experienced financial problems due to loss of work and being unable to continue making payments on large credit card bills, the Citizens Advice Bureau "rearranged" my payments to reflect what I could actually pay, but, and this is a big but, no more luxuries, (expensive holidays abroad etc.) and Get a Job.In the case of the UK, one very expensive luxury springs to mind, that seems to have escaped the attention of everyone.Stop paying EU membership fees, that should save at a guess, £10 - 15 billion per year, then having been thrown out and free of their meddling, with less business regulation, freedom from the great carbon dioxide tax hoax and the freedom to dump our rubbish how it suits us locally and the freedom to fish our own waters how we see fit and on almost ad infinitum, that should add on at least £25 billion a year to our national income.To the rest of you I say "Get Real, Get out and Get On". No U-turn on human rights 11:12pm on 26 May 2010 I was complaining to my missus, "We can't send these terrorists back to Pakistan because of Brussels."She replied "Send them to Brussels then." Germany: Right and wrong on naked shorts 9:53pm on 22 May 2010 "The problem is that many of the world's biggest financial institutions, giant insurers such as AIG and assorted banks, couldn't resist the gold rush - but found themselves on the wrong side of these CDS deals."Did everyone posting, miss this sentence.I am no financial genius but after reading previous posts I figure that I have a head start on most of them.Ban this, ban that, what rubbish.If I have loads of money and want to bet it on some financial outcome, then in order to do so, surely I must find someone else who will accept my bet.If I went into the bookies and said that I wanted to put £1 on England to win the World Cup at odds of 1,000,000 to 1, would I be able to twist the bookies arm to make him accept the bet, dream on.If I am willing to risk my money and make a bet on some financial outcome with "giant insurers such as AIG and assorted banks", and win, and clean them out, then that's their hard luck.I end up rich; the people who entrusted these institutions with their money end up broke and learn a hard lesson.Perhaps the next time that they have money to "invest", they will examine more closely how it is "invested". Will the euro survive? 12:57pm on 20 May 2010 275. Unounos replied to my comment 240."No, we haven't joined yet although attempts have been made to persuade us by Napoleon, Hitler and others. Had these attempts succeeded they would now been known as the United State of Europe's civil war."With"To be fair, we have been part of bigger European empires before, the Roman one comes to mind first."Fair point, the Roman Empire here lasted for hundreds of years although they had trouble reaching agreement over cultural issues with the Welsh and Scottish tribes. Perhaps language, Latin versus ancient British, was a problem. As for the common currency, we are still digging it up after 2000 years.Then came 1066 and we haven't forgotten that. We've been over a few times and got our own back. Wasn't the King of England the King of parts of France at one time? It gets me a bit confused. As for the Norman currency I haven't a clue but I bet it was something to do with gold and silver.That should give a clue to people in the present day who have a bit of money to spare and wonder in which currency to hold it. Will the euro survive? 07:54am on 20 May 2010 Georgia_Bulldog wrote:I think that this was a good move by the Germans. And yes, the EU and the euro will survive. They MUST survive, in fact; that is if you all wish to compete with Asia and the US. I can't believe you Britts haven't joined yet. I realize there are cultural reservations, etc, but I'm sure that eventually an agreeable system will be put in place.Dear Mr Bulldog,First of all we are Brits, not Britts.In a common currency, rich areas support the poor areas. For instance, over here the rich South supports the poor North. In the US, rich states support the poor states. In both cases, civil wars were necessary to overcome cultural reservations and reach an agreeable system.No, we haven't joined yet although attempts have been made to persuade us by Napoleon, Hitler and others. Had these attempts succeeded they would now been known as the United State of Europe's civil war.I guess that on the continent of Europe and the British Isles, there is just too much cultural diversity for mutual agreement to be reached.With regard to short selling, I am mystified by objections. Surely there must be a buyer somewhere as well as a seller and I would have thought that it is nobody else's business. What a Tory-Lib Dem government would do 01:30am on 12 May 2010 To Jaundiced_Eye,I do not have a job because too many of them have jobs.With all of my financial problems, do I care if they are in for some.Dream on. What a Tory-Lib Dem government would do 01:20am on 12 May 2010 What would they do?1) The £6bn of additional spending.2) Increase the tax-free allowance on income tax to £10,000.3) Increase in the inheritance tax threshold.What rubbish, £6bn, make it £160bn, per year of required savings just to avoid running up new debt.I have been struggling with Department of Work and Pensions personnel for 11 weeks trying to get my Minimum Income Guarantee of 132.50 per week, an increase of about £50 over my basic state pension.This is to help me over a temporary loss of employment. I usually work in a "real job" and have been prevented from taking up a new position last Monday because I just did not have the money to get there and live until I got my first pay check.They must have spent 10 times what they should have paid me in benefit because of an incredibly and almost unbelievably labyrinthine set of rules governing my particular set of circumstances which are actually quite simple.I am awaiting the appointment of the new Work and Pensions secretary to voice my concerns.The vast army of unnecessary of civil servants should be dismissed and forced to look for a job which reduces our need to buy from abroad, or a job which produces something which we can sell abroad. Greece - the price of salvation 11:41pm on 02 May 2010 As with all agreements, the devil is in the detail.Obviously Greece will not get all of the money on one large cheque later this week. If this happened a large sense of relief would set in and they would run out and spend most of it immediately.In reality they will get enough for their impending loan repayment on 19 May.By then the haggling amongst the other Euro countries over details and compliance will be in full swing and the speculators will have turned their attention to Portugal.When the tax increases, especially on tobacco and alcohol take effect, Greece will become increasingly unattrctive as a holiday destination (How much?), and tourist revenue will fall.With regards to the bailout total, this means that the rest of us will become that much poorer due to increased taxation and the devaluation caused by printing more money because we do not actually have any spare money in the bank at the moment.Now that the PIGS have become the PIS (+UK) the next bailout will need to be much bigger and the cry will be heard "Hang on, if this goes on, there won't be any left for us".Interesting times ahead, time has been bought, but how much? «Newer Older»

UK Hostage in Iraq Makes Plea to Blair to Save Him
In Iraq, Kenneth Bigley, a British man kidnapped last week has appealed British Prime Minister Tony Blair in a video message to save his life. He was kidnapped last week alongside two American contractors. Both of the Americans have been executed and Bigley's captors have threatened to kill Bigley as well — if the U.S. does not release imprisoned Iraqi women. Yesterday it appeared the Iraqis were set to release at least one Iraqi woman from prison but the US blocked the move. Today, Kenneth Bigley's brother accused the United States of sabotaging his brother's release.
Unknown Iraqi Claims To Have Executed Italian Hostages
Meanwhile a message posted on the Internet claimed the two Italian women from A Bridge to Baghdad had been executed. A previously unknown group called Jihad Organization claimed to have carried out the attacks. The Italian government has dismissed the claim as unreliable. The two 29-year-old women, Simona Torretta and Simona Pari, were kidnapped in an orchestrated raid on Sept. 7. In other Iraq news, the U.S. military has charged two of its own soldiers with the pre-meditated murder of three Iraqis. The soldiers were attached to the Army's 1st Cavalry Division.
GOP To Introduce "Patriot Act 2" Legislation
In news from Capitol Hill, Republican House Speaker Dennis Hastert is expected to introduce a sweeping new intelligence bill, as early as today, that is being being described as Patriot Act 2 because it gives the police sweeping new powers. The Wall Street Journal reports one portion of the bill calls for the U.S. Attorney General's office to maintain a database of criminal records that employers could access to make criminal background checks. In order to access the databases, employers would have to submit to the government fingerprint or other biometric identifiers of their job applicants or employees to the Justice Department. The bill would also increase fines and prison terms for illegal aliens and enlist local and state police in helping round up undocumented residents. Some cities, including Los Angeles and Philadelphia, that have policies restricting police from enforcing immigration law would lose federal funding if they did not rescind such policies. Michigan Congressman John Conyers said Hastert's draft scarcely resembles the recommendation of the 9/11 Commission. He said "It's as if the commission's recommendations have been super sized with irrelevant fat and lard, representing a wish list of past reactionary proposals that would diminish our civil liberties."
Senate Approves Goss, 77-17, As New CIA Head
In other intelligence news, the Senate yesterday confirmed Congressman Porter Goss as the new head of the Central Intelligence Agency. Goss is a former CIA spy. The vote was 77-17. Among the Democrats voting against Goss were Ted Kennedy, Hillary Clinton and Jay Rockefeller, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Kerry Warns Bush May Restore Military Draft
On the campaign front, John Kerry, vowed yesterday that he would not bring back the draft and warned that the draft could be reinstated if President Bush is re-elected.
U.S. To Release Enemy Combatant, Yasser Hamdi
The Justice Department has agreed to release a U.S. citizen it has been holding in solitary confinement who has never been charged with a crime. The man, Yasser Esam Hamdi, was detained in Afghanistan and has been categorized as an enemy combatant. A deal has been reached where Hamdi will be let go if he renounces his U.S. citizenship and moves to Saudi Arabia where he was raised.
Spy Charges Dropped in Third Guantanamo Case
The government has dropped espionage charges against a Syrian-born translator who worked at Guantanamo Bay. Senior Airman Ahmad Halabi once faced 30 charges of spying and aiding the enemy. This marks the third high-profile espionage case at Guantanamo put forward by the government that has fallen apart. Halabi was arrested last year as he was traveling to Syria. The government contended he planned to take hundreds of classified documents about Guantanano Bay and the detainees to give to enemies of the United States. He spent more than nine months in jail before being released in May. Halabi has plead guilty to lesser charges.
3 Israeli & 3 Palestinians Die in Fighting
In Gaza, three Israeli soldiers and three Palestinians militants have died in fighting that reportedly after the militants reportedly attacked a Jewish settlement in the Gaza Strip.
Secret Service Investigates Mom Who Lost Son In Iraq
The Secret Service has begun investigating comments made online by a New Jersey mother who lost her son in Iraq. The woman, Sue Niederer, first entered the spotlight last week when she was arrested after interrupting a speech by Laura Bush. At the time she was wearing a t-shirt that read "President Bush, You Killed My Son." Earlier this year Niederer wrote an online column for the site Counterpunch where she described how she wanted to "rip the president's head off" and "shoot him in the groined area."
FBI Whistleblower Sues Justice Department
FBI whistleblower Sibel Edmonds yesterday sued the Justice Department in order to compel it into releasing the results on an investigation that examined why she was fired. Edmonds was hired after the Sept. 11 to translate pre-9/11 intelligence. She was fired after she complained about widespread problems within the FBI translation department.
Calif. Pepper Spray Case Ends in Mistrial
And in San Francisco, a federal judge has declared a mistrial in a trial where jurors were being asked to determine if police used excessive forces when they daubed pepper spray in the eyes of anti-logging demonstrators. The mistrial was declared to a deadlocked jury.

By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan–President Obama and the Republicans in Congress are united on so-called free-trade agreements, which would increase corporate power and reduce the power of people to govern themselves democratically. This has put the president at loggerheads with his strongest congressional allies who oppose the Trans-Pacific Partnership, one of the most far-reaching trade agreements in history.

Sir Robert Clark: Decorated war hero who went on to build a glittering career in the City
Nick Clark
Nick Clark is the arts correspondent of The Independent. He joined the newspaper in June 2007, initially reporting on the stock markets. He has covered beats including the City, and technology, media and telecoms and made the switch to arts in December 2011. He has also contributed articles to the sports section.
Wednesday 09 January 2013
Bob Clark was a man who believed his life to be guided by serendipity. Luck may have been a factor, but the war hero who went on to forge a glittering career in the City came from a generation of men who refused to talk up their own hard-won achievements and the personal qualities that got them there. The man who was awarded a Distinguished Service Cross for fighting behind enemy lines in Italy became a respected senior corporate lawyer, merchant banker and the director of numerous international companies.
Robert Anthony Clark was born in Finchley, north London, in 1924, to Gladys and Jack Clark. His father was an engineer who had been an apprentice to Sir Charles Parsons, the inventor of the turbine engine. Robert was head boy at Highgate School, going on to King's College, Cambridge in 1941 to study modern languages. He was awarded a blue for football, the first for his college for 20 years – much to the chagrin of the provost of his college, who deemed only a half blue in chess acceptable.
With the Second World War raging, the 18-year-old volunteered for the Navy; his wartime experiences would lead him to the belief that remained central to his life: "To succeed you need luck. And then you need to grab that luck." When the discovery of his colour blindness threatened to leave him stranded on land, he encountered his first stroke of good fortune when an inadvertent claim of experience in small boats led to his joining the Special Operations Executive.
The SOE, "Churchill's Secret Army", was formed to drop British agents behind enemy lines to train the partisans and fight alongside them. Their mission, said Churchill, was to "set Europe ablaze". After commando training that included driving a steam train, he joined No 1 Special Force based in Monopoli in southern Italy. He would come ashore from boats at night and crawl up guarded beaches for operations including bombing railway lines and beach reconnaissance – exploits for which he was awarded the DSC.
He then volunteered to parachute behind enemy lines in Italy. After the initial hitch of needing to be rescuedby a partisan after his parachute became entangled in a tree, he spent the winter months fighting and acting as liaison officer with the partisans. He was betrayed, and posted as missing in Britain, spending the rest of the war between prisons in Italy and Germany.
He would later talk little of the hardships, though he was regularly interrogated by the Italians and the Gestapo. He chose to remember the kindnesses, such as the gift of a boiled egg on his 21st birthday. Returning eventually to London, he met up with Marjorie Lewis, who had been his wireless operator in Monopoli. She became his wife of 63 years. After further service in the Pacific, he was discharged from the SOE in 1946.
His other major piece of luck came shortly after the war. Walking along St James', he bumped into his former commanding officer, Hilary Scott. Lunch turned into a job offer as an articled clerk at the law firm of Slaughter and May. "I knew nothing about the law, but I accepted. And luck worked," he recalled. Six years later he was made a partner at the age of 29.
Another piece of luck was getting to know three partners at Philip Hill, Higginson, Erlanders, the company that would later become Hill Samuel. As well as being "frightfully clever", they all happened to be over 6ft 4in, he said. They wanted a fourth partner and, fitting the apparent criteria, Clark became a merchant banker.
He built a stellar City career as an adviser to companies involved in some of the biggest mergers of the day. These clients included GEC under Lord Weinstock, Beecham and Courtaulds. He also built an enviable international client book, with clients such as Black Clawson and Parsons & Whittemore, companies owned by the wealthy American Landegger family.
Colleagues said that even when he became Hill Samuel's chief executive in 1976, before taking the chairmanship in 1980, his qualities as a corporate financier meant that he was consulted on all major transactions. TSB bought Hill Samuel in 1988, and he served as deputy chairman until 1991. Two years later he co-founded the investment bank Rauscher Pierce & Clark, now RP&C International.
Few remember Clark dropping his urbane charm, but his unflappable, steely nature meant that those who challenged him rarely came out on top. Of one director who had taken him on him, he said: "He mistook politeness for weakness. It is always a big mistake." His qualities made him sought-after as a non-executive director for companies like Alfred McAlpine, Shell, IMI, Rover Group, Racal Telecom – later Vodafone – and SmithKline Beecham. He later recalled that perhaps his luckiest invitation was from the Bank of England, where he joined the court. The Bank's Governor also called on him to co-write the first edition of the Takeover Code.
Governments also regularly came calling, and Clark chaired the National Film Finance Corporation and the Industrial Development Advisory Board, services for which he was knighted in 1976, and he sat on the committee set up to determine the future of struggling British Leyland. He also served on the Doctors and Dentists Review Body and was a trustee of Charing Cross and Westminster Hospital medical schools.
Colleagues remember him fondly. One called him a "wonderful man, as clever as could be, but very humble with it. He always had enormous common sense and endless patience."
Perhaps his most testing time was his involvement on the board of the Mirror Group. He and his fellow executives were criticised after Robert Maxwell plundered the company's pension scheme. Clark stayed on as chairman to pick up the pieces and rebuild the company.
To relax he collected antiquarian objects, especially books; he was a voracious reader and kept a record of every volume he read, favouring historical works and novels by Thomas Hardy, Leo Tolstoy and William Trevor. He maintained his interest in sport, and loved the opera – he was a director of the English National Opera.
His war memories were refreshed in 1991 with the arrival of a letter out of the blue. After years of searching, the Italian partisan who had pulled him out of the tree had finally traced him. The pair visited each other regularly – along with another special companion of Clark's, a teddy bear called Falla, given to him at the age of two, who went with him everywhere and must be the only bear to parachute behind enemy lines and survive as a POW. Clark's collection of bears ran to more than 300, but Falla, as always, was the one with him to the end.
Robert Anthony Clark, sailor, lawyer and business executive: born London 6 January 1924; DSC 1944; Kt 1976; married 1949 Marjorie Lewis (two sons, one daughter); died 3 January 2013.

Voice recognition vs. Shandong accent
The following video is very popular in China now:
The following video is very popular in China now:
Martin Heymann writes (Tue, 2 Dec 2014 22:26:55 +1100):
Tonight, I was watching the Australian federal Minister of Education interviewed on TV. He was discussing a senator called Dio Wang (see also here), and got in a bit of a scrap with the interviewer about how to pronounce the surname.
According to the Minister, "it depends on where you are in the spectrum" as to how the surname is pronounced. Here's the clip (it's quite hilarious, especially because the recording keeps repeating in a loop).
The People's Daily microblog account posted this list over the recent National Day holidays:
"Yī dú jiù cuò de 50 gè dìmíng 一读就错的50个地名" ("Fifty place names you're sure to misread")
In the comments to "slip(per)" (7/22/14), we have had a very lively discussion on whether or not people would pronounce these two sentences differently in Mandarin:
wǒ yào tuōxié
"I want slippers."
wǒ yào tuō xié
"I want to take off my shoes."
I began drafting this post around Mother's Day, which we recently observed, but got distracted by other things. This is an old topic that I've been thinking about for years. Namely, I've long been intrigued by the use of mǔ 母 ("mother") in linguistic terms, such as zìmǔ 字母 ("letter", lit., "character mother") (e.g., sānshíliù zìmǔ 三十六字母 ["36 initial consonants"]), shēngmǔ 声母 ("initial", lit., "sound mother") and yùnmǔ 韵母 ("final", lit., "rime mother"). The first two go back to the Song period (960-1279), but I don't know how old the latter two are. See here, here, and here for references. Read the rest of this entry »

The Encyclopaedia Britannica has begun to refer to Hong Kong as Xianggang, the Modern Standard Mandarin (MSM) pronunciation of the name.
Gloria Bien sent in the following photograph and asked what to make of the Chinese text in it, especially the unusual character 叻, which is pronounced lè in Modern Standard Mandarin (MSM; but see below for the Cantonese pronunciation and meaning). Wenlin says it's part of a name for Singapore, but not used alone, as it is in this picture. Google says Overseas Chinese use it for Singapore. But, as Gloria observes, "I'm the most Singapore" doesn't make sense.
This is from a package of noodles from Emeryville, CA, and says "Product of China," but complex characters are used throughout.
Some years ago (in 2008, as a matter of fact), I wrote a post entitled "How to learn to read Chinese". The current post is intended as a followup and supplement to that post.
Sing! King! Wa! Ta! Sing! King! Wa! Ta!
The words were being hastily shouted down a phone, with loud sounds of wind and waves in the background, and the emergency call center operator could make no sense of them. Attempts at conversing with the caller failed; he seemed not to understand English. Yet the tone was unmistakably urgent: someone was in danger of his life. But who? And where?
About 23 people died in the event that led to that desperate, unintelligible phone call. It happed in 2004, ten years ago today. My vagueness about the number of victims is because no one who knew all the facts wanted to talk about the circumstances (the skull of one victim was only found in 2010).

A recent issue (1/7/14) of the South China Morning Post (SCMP) carried an article by a staff reporter entitled "Hong Kong student's poem recital goes viral in the mainland ". The article features this amazing video of a Hong Kong high school student reciting a couple of Classical Chinese poems:
Karen Serago sent in the following photograph taken by her husband, Ben Yu, of a restaurant in Taiwan that specializes in duck dishes:
Mark Swofford took these photographs of an advertisement for a very well-known brand of instant noodles in the Taipei MRT (subway system). It makes use of three scripts (Chinese characters [including some rare, non-standard forms], bopomofo / zhùyīn fúhào 注音符號 [Mandarin "Phonetic Symbols" of the Republic of China, and Roman letters) and possibly as many languages (Taiwanese, Japanese, English) — with Mandarin apparently *not* being among them.

Answer #1patrick mannion from Greg Solow's Engine Room, September 02, 2011, 10:53Master
The way the cooling fan/s work on that car is there is a temperature switch on the radiator it reaches a certain temperature it thinks the fan should be switched on, it sends a signal to the fuel/ignition control computer it then sens a signal out to the electric fan/s to then turn on. My guess would be a bad fan switch. I just looked to see if there was any technical service bulletin but I don't see any in my information.

Rake: TV Review
The Bottom Line
Keegan Deane (Kinnear) is a defense attorney who hasn't really grown up. He loves gambling and women and drinking and getting into all kinds of scrapes and cons he can't quite get out of -- though sometimes his wink and his charm are enough. But that may not be enough for viewers who have seen his sort for years (and perhaps in better-built shows). In a crowded field, familiarity is often troubling.
Thursday, Jan. 23 at 9 p.m. (Fox)
Peter Duncan
Greg Kinnear, Miranda Otto, John Ortiz, Necar Zadegan, Tara Summers, Bojana Novakovic
Greg Kinnear and a solid cast may not be enough to save this scoundrel series from its own familiarity.
Sometimes you think you want something until you get it. For those who may have seen Fox's endless promotions for Rake, starring that charmer Greg Kinnear and premiering Jan. 23 at 9 p.m., the previews made it look like a comedic lark worth following.
That is, Kinnear was seen in a number of situations (often bloody and bruised, in some kind of trouble he was hoping a wink would get him out of), and as those situations piled up a familiar TV trope emerged – the lovable loser who is nobody's idea of reliable but in the end redeems his bad behavior by doing something good for others or for society.
PHOTOS: 2014's New Broadcast and Cable TV Shows
And that's what Rake is, basically. Imagine those traits on a loop. See, Kinnear, that old rake, goes about his scoundrel ways with women, booze, gambling, lying, getting into scrapes that he can sometimes but not always talk his way out of. As a defense attorney more interesting in having fun than being proficient, he doesn't have a lot of clients and a lack of clients is bad for his gambling, which is just one of his many addictions. On paper, this sounds like an excellent fit for Kinnear (which it is), even when it sounds awfully familiar (which it is – including being based on an Australian series).
However, once you see the pilot unspool, you might have reservations about its charm. And familiarity.
As a dramedy, Rake doesn't have much drama – the legal case in the pilot is given barely any thoroughness and, for a serial killer and police corruption case, that's really saying something. Instead, the emphasis is on Kinnear's wild side as he plays Keegan Deane (or Kee/Key as he's called repeatedly). That wild side means that his drunkenness, womanizing and all-around unreliability is taking a toll on his best friend Ben (John Ortiz), and Ben's wife Scarlet (Necar Zadegan), Assistant District Attorney for Los Angeles. Though Ben and Scarlet love Keegan dearly, they're married, with children, responsible and have, as friends since law school, cooled on Keegan's inability to grow up. But yes, in case you were wondering, they can't resist him ultimately.
STORY: Is Fox's Greg Kinnear Drama 'Rake' Too Dark for Broadcast Viewers?
Also putting up with Keegan is Leanne (Tara Summers) his tireless assistant who hasn't been paid in ages. And Mikki (Bojana Novakovic), his $500 and hour prostitute who probably has a heart of gold but definitely has some kind of un-hooker-like love for the man.
Ah, Keegan also has an ex-wife (Miranda Otto) and a son (Ian Colletti) – the former still exasperated by him and the latter starting to look like a younger version of him.
And it goes on.
That's a lot to pack into a pilot that, despite all of those characters, seems flimsy. A big part of that is despite Kinnear's charm, it's not especially easy to like the Keegan character. Maybe he's such a screw-up that it's tiring. Or maybe the trope is so tiring as to block interest.
If you can't love the rake in Keegan, then you sure can't love the lawyer in him either (since it's barely developed in the pilot). That leaves Rake as an overly familiar character study and an under-developed law procedural. In today's incredibly competitive TV environment, that might be an hour you can't afford to screw up like Keegan would.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The San Francisco 49ers unveiled an updated design plan for a new stadium at Candlestick Point that would add enough seats to host a major event such as the Olympics.

A former West Coast dairy farmer has admitted failing to look after the health of a dairy herd where hundreds of cows were found with injured tails.
Michael Joseph Jackson, 43, admitted the charge in Christchurch District Court today and was remanded on bail for sentencing in February.
Ministry for Primary Industries prosecutor Grant Fletcher told the court the injuries would have caused the cows symptoms ranging from temporary discomfort to severe pain.
Jackson admitted failing to ensure the health and behavioural needs of the animals were met on a farm in Kowhitirangi where he was employed as a herd manager. The farm had 500 cows.
Fletcher said there was concern about his treatment of the stock in November 2010 when he was seen grabbing and twisting the tails of cows.
It was thought this treatment would cause serious pain and stress and would break the tails in some cases.
Cows were observed with broken tails a month later and Jackson was suspended from duties.
He packed up and left the farm.
An inspection then showed injuries ranging from soft tissue damage to fractured vertebrae in the tail.
A total of 230 cows were found to have fractured or dislocated tail bones or soft tissue damage.
Fletcher said the ministry wanted a ban on Jackson having control of animals, and was likely to seek a sentence of home detention.
Defence counsel Craig Ruane said Jackson was no longer involved in dairy farming but had a job in a processing industry in Ashburton.
He would be asking that a community-based sentence and supervision be imposed.
Judge Gary MacAskill remanded Jackson on bail for sentencing on February 19, with a report on his suitability for community detention or home detention.

Not only did the order arrive within a couple of days.....but it was wrapped with such care and tied with a twine bow, it was like unwrapping a beautiful present! The prices are some of the best I have seen on the internet. Ordering was actually fun with the Design Cart! You will be seeing me again! Thanks

"Many of my collections have been inspired by my passion for travel and experiencing the world with all its wild, beautiful diversity and color. But when it came time to begin this collection, I was struck by how much I adore and draw creative energy from my home. Some-maybe even most-of my most extraordinary journeys have happened not in some tropical paradise or high mountain chalet, but in my house. In my room. Whether it's a home studio, the kitchen, or just a comfy bedroom, most of us have a favorite space, a private space, where we can get away from the world at large and experience an inner world of imagination and inspriation. A space made by, and just for, yourself. A flower garden in my back yard. Vintage wallpaper inside an old closet. The colors and patterns I find around the hundred-year-old house I live in in Memphis. These are what I've drawn on to create this collection of floral, circular motifs, and vintage-inspired abstract patterns. It's unnecessary to travel the world to find art, peace, love all the things we seek outside of our homes and ourselves. A quiet, personal space is all I need to find the most important things in life...in my home, 'In My Room.'" ~Jenean Morrison

It makes you vulnerable to MITM attacks, since when you connect to your camera, you can't be sure it's actually yours and not just another device with the same well-known certificate/key.
It means that if you use a key exchange mechanism that encrypts the session keys with the server key then someone who's extracted the private key from one of these can decrypt communications with any of the cameras using the same certificate/key.
If you use a key exchange mechanism with forward secrecy, extracting the private key wouldn't allow Eve to decrypt all your communications.
Sounds a lot like the all-American inventor hero Edison.
People watched videos on one-bit monochrome computer displays that really were black and white.
Cities don't license plumbers, painter, interior decorators, electricians, doctors, lawyers, nannies, or nurses. Even though these people need much more training.
In Australia, plumbers, electricians, doctors, nannies and nurses all need to be licensed. You're talking out your arse or you live in the wild west.
PGP isn't a standard, but S/MIME is. And S/MIME is implemented in plenty of serious mail clients, including mutt, Outlook, Apple Mail, Kmail, Thunderbird, and even web-based shit like Horde.
Outlook and Apple Mail have supported S/MIME for years, and the UI for using it is way nicer than any GPG plugin I've used. But the trouble is, no-one else uses it so I ended up only ever doing encrypted e-mail to/from my wife.
And you know why there was no good third-party content? Because the console was hard to squeeze maximum performance out of, but Sega didn't give anyone development libraries for it - just gave you a book of specs and left you to work it out. They went in the complete opposite direction with the Dreamcast - they gave you great libraries and almost no specs, so it was more like, here's the API, ignore what's behind it. You can't really say they were incapable of learning.
It's the same character for both in Chinese - you have to disambiguate if you want to be more specific. There are more goats than sheep in China, so it's usually translated as goat if not specific.
WPA is TKIP. It's a way of making the network more secure than WEP without requiring major hardware upgrades (uses the same RC4 cipher as WEP). WPA2 introduces AES encryption. IIRC there are known vulnerabilities that allow an attacker to inject packets into a WPA connection.
The clean C++ way to deal with that is to use RAII and have little helper objects that are there just for their destructors. It lets you return from any point in a function (or exit via an exception) and still have all your cleanup done. Of course it obfuscates flow even more than goto.
To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so.

3 Days in Istanbul
Museum Guide for Istanbul
Best Food in Istanbul
Our group scheduled a 2 day layover in Istanbul as we were flying through, and absolutely fell in love with the culture, city and food of Istanbul thanks to the expert introduction and tour by Arif. As well as hitting the highlights, Arif is an absolute wealth of knowledge on Turkey history and culture, and provided a top notch education...
We had three days in Istanbul and Arif organized everything from our pickup and dropoff at the airport, our hotel, and most importantly, two days of touring the city with his business partner, Erkan. On our first day we did a walking/public transportation tour of the city, taking the tram, ferries, a jitney and doing quite a bit of walking....
Sometimes the tour guide is as memorable as the wonderful sights on the tour. This is true for Erkan and his small tour company in Istanbul. My half-day tour of the old city was top-notch, and luckily, I expect to be back soon to see some more....
I was in Istanbul for business, and had only one day free, so decided to maximize my time by hiring a guide. Erkan was wonderful, giving me great stories behind the historical areas I asked to see, and helping me get a feel for the city and its people. We had tea at a local crafts gallery, and lunch at...
We did a private tour (4 women) and it was the best. We went at our pace, went out of the touristy areas, took breaks, saw some of the "real" Istanbul and our guide would have kept going! After 7 hours, we were exhausted but I swear we he would have kept exploring with us if we said, okay. I...
WOW! This is the best way to check out Istanbul having your own guide. Arif was amazing in so many ways. He showed up at our doorstep and immediately took charge of our requested walking tour first day and second day the Imperial Tour of all the main sites. In our days with him we saw all the significant areas...
Arif gave us wonderful advice from the moment we contacted him (and we went back-and-forth alot!!) and the guide he seleced for us, Haluf, was wonderful. Our New Year's Day adventure ranged across many of the key Old City historical sites, but unlike so many of the massive groups of cold tourists wnadering Istanbul, we were spirited into venues through...
We visited Turkey for the first time in December. The trip was totally above our expectations and we have to thank the wonderful guides for the good experience. We had Arif for istanbul, yalcin for Ephesus and Ibrahim for Cappadocia.
Arif and team was especially flexible and tweaked the tour schedule to suit our preference. The response from Arif is...
Friends recommended Arif Yasa tours and we were not disappointed. It really pays to have a private tour guide who has all the background knowledge and can get you into the sights and attractions without queuing! Arif was our guide and patiently answered all our questions and offered advice about where to shop and eat etc. When you only have...
Our tour guide was Erkan. He has a brilliant sense of humor and made our tour one not to forget! We negotiated with Arif beforehand to visit places not in their usual tour plans and he gave us information and advice as we planned our trip. We visited places not usually visited by tourists and really enjoyed the city. Erkan...

I will be visiting Istanbul from 27th to 29th with my mother and brother from Pakistan. They have difficulty walking and are unable to join a large group tour. Looking for a guide who can take us to key places in Istanbul on the 27th evening and 28th day or just 28th day.
Please let me know if you are available, do you have transportation and cost. to keep the price in low, we can meet you at a location and take taxi aswell to go places.
Frat iqbal
We, are a party of four persons (two couples), will be in Istanbul on June 11th and 12th, 2015,
before boarding a cruise ship (Crystal cruises). We would like you to provide us two excursions:
one- an evening Istanbul on the June 11th, starting at about 5-6pm, with a pick up and drop off
at the hotel, in which we are going to stay overnight.
The other-next day, June 12th, a complete Istanbul excursion, to show us the best of the city,
with pick up at the hotel at around 10 am and the drop off at the cruise terminal, where we will
board our cruise ship, Crystal Serenity, no later than 6:30 pm.
The excursions must be presented in Russian languish.
Are you available at these times and do you have a car?
If yes, provide us with prices and we will work out the small details.
Sincerely, Mike
See all questions

Constitutional Question
Submitted by Windcharmer on Mon, 07/21/2014 - 18:24. Permalink
Has anyone else been unable to find Constitutional authority for the U.S. government to control immigration? Article 1 Section 8 clearly states the feds have the authority to set the naturalization rules. These are the rules governing how one becomes a citizen once in the U.S. This does not necessarily give the feds control of immigration. This omission and the 10th Amendment pretty much points to immigration policy being a State power.
Am I reading too much into this?

We have stayed here before and it was wonderful. This time, not so wonderful. Resort looks tired. Bedsheets were old and not crisp. Counters in bathroom need to be replaced; stained; look old. Curtains need cleaning. Only 1 wastebasket in rm; not enough. Didn't sparkle like before. Pool furniture coming apart; old & tired. Time to replace. Probably would not stay here again. Pull-out was horrible for our daughter; our King matress was very soft; backach every morning. Needs to be replaced. Never had enough coffee packets, kleenex or TP in rm.

You may be surprise how I know most of the things you do
How could I read your mind, how could I see beyond you.
It's not magic or tricks my girl.. maybe if we look beyond
Maybe it's the what they call 'soulmate'
Too early to notice, too early to conclude
But all the signs are pointing in that direction
How could you explain why we both like same things
Why we do things alike, why we think the same...
If it's coincidence then why too much...
What if we believe it is really the so called 'soulmate'
Could you see what my vision is telling me
Then just close your eyes and look inside your heart
Maybe then you'll see the vision i'm telling you
And once again the color of love will shine
But all of this maybe are too soon.. the road is just starting to be one
The light has just turn into green, the lap still count as one..
But no matter how far the race is, how many laps there is..
Still i'll take the race and believe it is what they call 'Soulmate'

"Weekend casual" by partywithgatsby ❤ liked on Polyvore - Love the sweatshirt, scarf and jeans.
Here's to long skirts, being ladies, and not having to fill every role. I intend to wear a skirt that precludes jogging, chores, saying things like "No, that's ok; I can do it myself," etc. This is my lady outfit. Ladies accept assitance graciously and never bite those who try to help.

Is it possible to obtain a view of the values of the stack variables when doing a thread dump in VisualVM? Currently, all that I can see when choosing a thread dump of some jvm process is the stack trace, not the exact variable values in stack frames.
If not, is there a (working) plugin that allows one to do this?
