Chargers 30, Browns 23
LaDainian Tomlinson walked back into San Diego's locker room to meet the special guest who wanted to offer congratulations.
Jim Brown was waiting for him.
``Yeah, a perfect day,'' Tomlinson said as he headed toward the Chargers' team bus. ``I've thought a long time about this day. If I was going to pass Jim, I wanted to do it here in Cleveland, and I wanted to talk to him in the locker room after the game.''
Tomlinson stiff-armed Cleveland's Hall of Famer out of eighth place on the career rushing list and scored his 150th career TD on a 4-yard run as the Chargers won their seventh straight and 15th in a row in December, beating the Browns 30-23 on Sunday.
In moving past Brown, Tomlinson fulfilled a childhood dream that began with games of touch Football in Texas.
``As a kid playing football in the yard, I looked up to all the great running backs,'' Tomlinson said. ``But there were a lot of days I was Jim Brown out there on the football field. To do it here in Cleveland is extra special. I can't even tell you what it means because it seems like it was supposed to happen here in Cleveland.''
After Tomlinson passed Brown on an 11-yard burst up the middle in the fourth quarter, San Diego's running back pointed toward the 73-year-old who was sitting in a luxury suite. He patted his heart and offered a salute.
``He's a class guy,'' Brown said. ``We love each other. I came back here because I wanted to show my respect. My position in history doesn't matter to me, but the respect that I get and the respect I give is highly important. I could never do what a Barry Sanders or a Walter Payton or a Hugh McElhenny could do. They were totally different than me. I would break my legs trying to move like Barry Sanders.''
Antonio Gates set a career high with 167 receiving yards for the Chargers (9-3), who dragged their cleats early and only led 13-7 at halftime. But quarterback Philip Rivers led San Diego on touchdown drives of 85 and 83 yards in just over nine minutes in the third quarter to open a 27-7 lead.
Tomlinson's TD with 5:58 left in the third put the Chargers up by 20, and placed the running back in elite company among NFL greats.
Tomlinson reached 150 TDs faster than any player in league history, hitting the milestone in his 137th game. Emmitt Smith needed 160 games to reach 150 and Jerry Rice didn't score his 150th until his 167th.
``I've always really enjoyed scoring touchdowns more than anything,'' Tomlinson said. ``Part of the reason is that's how you win the game - scoring touchdowns. I've always said that if I'm scoring touchdowns, then I think we're winning. So that's pretty special.''
So, which was better, No. 150 or surpassing Brown?
``Passing Jim Brown. He transcended generations,'' Tomlinson said. ``I can remember my father talking about Jim Brown as a kid. He loved him. Everybody loved Jim Brown and rightfully so. Even today when you talk about the great running backs, the majority of people will say Jim Brown is the best ever.''
Tomlinson finished with 64 yards on 20 carries and has 12,321 yards. Tony Dorsett (12,739) is seventh all-time.
Rivers threw two TD passes - both on short routes to running backs - as the Chargers continued their surge following a 2-3 start.
With Dallas and Cincinnati looming on the schedule, San Diego couldn't afford to overlook the Browns (1-11), who have lost seven straight amid mounting injuries.
At halftime, San Diego seemed to be in trouble.
At the end of the third quarter, the Chargers had little concern.
``It got a little close,'' Rivers said. ``Close enough to where you weren't too comfortable.''
San Diego thoroughly dominated the Browns in the third, outgaining Cleveland 208-10 - 164-0 in passing yards - while holding the ball for 12:06.
Rivers was 7 for 8 in the quarter with four completions going to Gates for 114 yards. The highlight of San Diego's aerial assault came when Gates, the former Kent State basketball star, boxed out Abram Elam and Hank Poteat for a 56-yard reception.
``He never ceases to amaze me,'' Tomlinson said. ``He's just so dominant, you can't cover him one on one. He looks like when he played basketball. When the ball is in the air, his mindset is, 'It's mine.'''
Brady Quinn threw three TD passes for the Browns, who have lost a franchise-record 10 straight Home games and must get ready to play an angry Pittsburgh squad on Thursday. The Steelers lost at home to Oakland 27-24 on Sunday.
``They made a lot of big plays,'' Browns linebacker David Bowens said. ``That was the key to the game. They have a lot of weapons. L.T.'s a great player and Gates made some big catches.''
The Browns, who had a costly turnover in the first half, made the score respectable by scoring 16 in the fourth as Quinn hit running back Jerome Harrison for two TDs.
Phil Dawson's 49-yard field goal with 39 seconds left made it 30-23, but Tomlinson recovered an onside kick with 38 seconds remaining.
``That was the No. 1 play of the day, because that sealed the victory,'' Tomlinson said.
And his perfect day.
NOTES: Nate Kaeding kicked field goals of 32, 42 and 22 yards for the Chargers. ... Browns Stadium was less than half full at kickoff and any late arrivals missed the Browns' first TD, Quinn's 11-yard pass to Mohamed Massaquoi. Quinn went 6 for 6 for 61 yards on the scoring drive, Cleveland's first for a TD on an opening possession since Nov. 11, 2007 - a span of 35 games. ... Browns DT C.J. Mosley injured his right leg in the first half. He left the stadium on crutches.

text: 657 FXUS64 KMAF 310816 AFDMAF AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX 316 AM CDT Tue Mar 31 2015 .DISCUSSION... Shallow low level mstr is in place and with daytime heating resulting in a well mixed boundary layer convective cloud bases today will be around 6500 ft AGL. As mid/upper level nears the Big Bend later today there will be an increased chance of storms. Low level mstr field is depicted to be rather diffuse except INVOF srn Pecos/nrn Brewster where low level wind fields indicate a convergent area of low pressure. Glass Mtns will aid in the development/initiation of storms too. Have kept integrity of previous forecast and have included mention of severe storms generally from Ft Stockton to Big Lake...to Sheffield where 0-6km bulk shear increases to near 40kts. By Wed mid level flow transitions to weak wly, but enough for surface pressure falls to organize into a well defined lee trof with a 22C-24C 85h thermal ridge from Panhandle into Upper Trans Pecos. 85h winds mostly 15kts or less in a well mixed and drier boundary layer. Pattern is even moreso Thur with 85h winds mostly around 20kts and 7h winds 30-35kts. Some differences in surface low with ECMWF the deepest and with tightest MSLP gradient...a definite warm/drier/windier day though. Max temperature anomalies will be about 10-13 degrees above normal, L80s-N90. 7h winds suggest high winds will be possible in parts of the GDP Mtns. Meanwhile a cold front will move thru the TX plains Fri AM. Post-frontal breezy conditions are expected Fri AM across PB and across the Trans Pecos in the PM as 7mb/3hr isallobaric pushes the front. Noticeably cooler N of the Pecos River Fri PM, by about 20 degrees. 85h temps of 20-22c along the Rio Grande/Big Bend regions suggest temps will still be in the 80s there. Light QPF generated by models Sat PM for the Trans Pecos (mainly) within pocket of steeper mid level lapse rates/upslope flow. By Easter Sunday warm low level air will already be surging ewd and 85h temperatures may be as warm as 20C in the e to 24C in the w. Mid level flow on Monday is setting up to be a warm (+15 temperature departures), dry, and windy day. The warm/dry air does not really go anywhere Tue, but winds relax some. && .FIRE WEATHER... The warmer/dry pattern on Wed will serve to dry fine fuels while the lack of significant wind will preclude a greater and more widespread concern. The possible exception on Wed will be the GDP/Delaware Mtns where ridge top winds near 20-25 mph are expected. A more substantial concern is expected to develop Thur when 85h-7h winds increase and much drier air surges out east across much of the area. At this point there is a good indication that a Fire Wx Watch will be needed for most areas except the Lower Trans Pecos. Fuels are a concern though. Across much of the PB there has been some green-up, however farther w in SE NM and certainly the mtns there`s been less/no green-up, respectively. TA&MFS` most recent assessment of fuel suggest that Initial Attack type fires/response will increase, however the larger fuels as seen in data like the ERC/Fuel Dryness indicates fires will generally not show too much resistance to control. Exceptions could be in the mtns including Davis/Delaware/GDP where there may be higher grass loading. After the front on Fri fire wx concerns will be renewed Sun-Tue. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

The Federal Reserve could ease up on its quantitative-easing program in March. That disclosure last Wednesday from the minutes of the Fed's January policy meeting sent gold prices below $1,600 an ounce for the first time since last summer. The metal is seen as a hedge against the inflation that could result from increased liquidity in the financial system. Gold was up 7% in 2012, its 12th consecutive annual gain, but the smallest advance since 2008 (see "Streetwise: What a Gold Mine!," Dec. 24, 2012).
Still, investors struck dividend gold Wednesday with Newmont Mining NEM -1.4234875444839858% Newmont Mining Corp.

Newmont enriched its quarterly common payout 21%, to 42.5 cents a share from 35 cents, for a 4.2% yield. The new dividend is worth an additional $37 million to stockholders this quarter. However, with the Denver company's gold-price-linked dividend guideline, the new disbursement was based on the average London afternoon fix of $1,718 per ounce for 2012's fourth quarter. As noted, gold is lower now. Newmont has paid dividends without interruption since 1934, but until July 2010, hadn't hiked them since October 2004. (Barrick pays 20 cents quarterly and yields 2.6%.)
The company said recently that it would focus on mining fundamentals in 2013, to lay the groundwork for profitable growth and more robust cash-flow generation. The shares set a 52-week low on the New York Stock Exchange Wednesday of $40.44. Their 52-week high: $64.43.

Coke boasts 51 consecutive years of dividend enhancements. The 10% increase, to 28 cents a share from 25.5 cents, will cost the company an extra $449 million yearly and makes for a current yield of 2.9%. Coke returned $9.1 billion to its holders in 2012—$4.6 billion in dividends and $4.5 billion in share repurchases. It split its stock 2-for-1 last August, its first division in 16 years and only the 11th split since it began trading in 1919.
Wal-Mart upped its annual dividend 18%, to $1.88 a share from $1.59, payable in four quarterly installments of 47 cents a share. One of the biggest hikes in its history, the payout is worth an additional $970 million yearly and $6.3 billion overall. Yield: 2.7%. In fiscal 2013, ended Jan. 31, the company returned $13 billion to investors in payouts and stock buybacks. And the $60 billion it has returned in the past five years represents more than one-fourth of its current market capitalization. Wal-Mart has boosted its dividend every year since its first payout in 1974.

After living on an island, one of the most considerable adjustment that I've had to make with returning back to 'civilization' is getting re-accustomed to mirrors. Not just actual mirrors (that are everywhere!) but also things that that injure as mirrors often do - reflective windows, people's looks, and mostly all the abrasive and insistent marketing. Everywhere I turn I am being shown how I ought to look. With most everyone I meet, I strongly feel the appraisal of my physical sheath and the things that adorn it vs. my energy and heart. It is uncanny and so felt. The uncentering ways of these manipulative vibrations and images can weigh heavy. It's been a beautiful month of observation and taking note + pausing, re-grounding, and strengthening. I am grateful for this new-found awareness and the opportunity to strengthen my ability to stay centered and work in this world from the inside out.
"You are also a formless existence, but you know yourself not directly, but from others' eyes. You know through the mirror. Sometime, while looking in the mirror, close your eyes and then think, meditate: if there was no mirror, how could you have known your face. If there was no mirror, there would have been no face. You do not have a face; mirrors give you a face. Think of a world where there are no mirrors. You are alone – no mirror at all, not even others' eyes working as mirrors. You are alone on a lonely island; nothing can mirror you. Then will you have a face. Or will you have any body? You cannot have one. You do not have one at all. We know ourselves only through others, and others can only know the outer form. That is why we become identified with it." - Osho

The invention is concerned with resonant-tunneling semiconductor devices as characterized by device operation involving carrier energy coinciding with a quantized energy level in a potential well.
The development of resonant-tunneling semiconductor devices has been motivated largely by the desire for increased miniaturization, functional density, and operating speed in electronic devices as designed for use in a variety of digital and analog circuits. Among proposed devices are two-terminal devices as disclosed, e.g., by

While such disclosed three-terminal resonant-tunneling devices have single-peak current-voltage characteristics, the invention as described below is motivated by the desire for a transistor having multiple-peak characteristics.
A semiconductor device is provided for incorporation, e.g., in switching systems, central processor logic units, memories, frequency multipliers, waveform scramblers, parity-bit generators, and analog-to-digital converters, such device being capable, under suitable operating conditions, a plurality of negative-resistance regions with equal or nearly equal peak currents. The device is a heterostructure bipolar device comprising emitter, base, and collector regions and contacts, the region between the collector region and the contact to the emitter region comprising at least two quantum-well structures. These structures are such that there is no significant quantum-mechanical interaction between their quantum-mechanical states, and such that, during device operation, quenching of resonant tunneling through these quantum wells occurs at different base-emitter voltages.

Exemplary preferred device structure shown in FIG. 1 represents an n-p-n bipolar transistor with two resonant-tunneling double-barrier quantum wells in series in the emitter. Such structure can be made by well-established techniques such as, e.g., molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE) or metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), e.g. on an indium phosphide substrate 11 which may be doped or undoped, the latter being preferred in the interest of enhanced device operating speed. Successively deposited lattice-matched layers 12 through 23 have nominal composition Ga0.47 In0.53 As in the case of gallium-indium arsenide, and Al0.48 In0.52 As in the case of aluminum-indium arsenide. Preferred dopant concentrations are greater than or approximately 2�1018 /cm3 for collector-contact layer 12, less than or approximately 2�1016 /cm3 for collector-active layer 13, greater than or approximately 2�1018 /cm3 for base layer 14, approximately 1�1018 /cm3 for layer 15, approximately 5�1017 /cm3 for quantum-well separating layer 19, and greater than or approximately 1�1018 /cm3 for emitter-contact layer 23. As can be seen from the band diagram alongside the device structure, layers 16, 17, and 18, and layers 20, 21 and 22 form double-barrier resonant-tunneling quantum wells.
Not shown in FIG. 1 are 50-Angstrom nominally undoped gallium-indium arsenide offset layers which are preferably included, in the interest of inhibiting dopant diffusion into the barrier layers during high-temperature growth processing, between layers 15 and 16, 18 and 19, 19 and 20, and 22 and 23.
Photolithography and chemical wet etching were used to produce an emitter means having a diameter of approximately 50 micrometers and a base mesa having a diameter of approximately 125 micrometers; the nominal composition of the etchant was 50H2 O+3H3 PO4 +1H2 O2. Emitter and collector contact metallizations 231 and 121 were made by successively evaporating germanium, gold, silver, and gold; the base contact layer 141 was made by evaporating gold-beryllium alloy and then gold. The contacts were alloyed at a temperature of approximately 375 degrees C. for approximately 10 seconds in a hydrogen atmosphere so as to prevent oxidation. (Oxidation may be prevented also by the use of an inert atmosphere, e.g., of nitrogen or helium.)
While the device structure as described above corresponding to an n-p-n resonant-tunneling bipolar transistor (RTBT), p-n-p structure is not precluded. And while, in the former case, double-barrier quantum-well structures as called for in accordance with the invention are in the conduction band, in the latter case such structures are in the valence band. In all cases the number of quantum wells present is a plurality of 2 or more, such plurality comprising at least two quantum wells such that, during device operation, quenching of resonant tunneling through these two quantum wells occurs at different base-emitter voltages. The two quantum wells are separated such that there is no significant quantum-mechanical interaction between the quantum-mechanical states of the two quantum wells, separation typically resulting from the presence of a sufficiently thick, low-bandgap doped layer between quantum wells. Preferred thickness of such separating layer is greater than the thermal de Broglie wavelength of the layer material as defined by λ=h/(3kTm*)1/2, where T denotes the lattice temperature, and m* the effective mass of tunneling (majority) carriers. Such lower limit on layer thickness is in the interest of precluding the presence of quantum state in the separating layer which are coupled to the quantum states of the quantum wells. In the case of gallium-indium arsenide, preferred separating layer thickness is in the range from 500 to 1000 Angstroms for room-temperature operation. Preferred doping of the separating layer is at least 2�1017 /cm3.
Preferred placement of quantum wells is between the base region and the contact to the emitter region; preferred also is the inclusion, adjacent to the base region, of a region having doping type opposite to the doping type of the base region, and having a bandgap which is wider than the bandgap of the base region (see layer 15 in FIG. 1); inclusion of such preferred region serves to inhibit back-injection of minority carriers from the base region during device operation. Conveniently, the interest of bandgap matching, such region has graded composition towards the quantum wells.
While the device of FIG. 1 has been described in terms of preferred gallium-indium arsenide and aluminum-indium arsenide materials, other material compositions are not precluded. For example, barrier layers may be made of aluminum-gallium arsenide or aluminum arsenide, and well layers of gallium arsenide or (strained) gallium-indium arsenide, Ga1-x Inx As, 0≦x≦0.2. Also, Ga0.47 In0.53 As well layers can be combined with aluminum-indium arsenide, indium phosphide, or (strained) aluminum arsenide layers.
Device functioning as described below with reference to FIG. 2 to 4 may be understood as based on the sequential quenching of resonant tunneling through two (or more) double-barrier quantum wells as caused by nonuniform electrical field distribution across the quantum wells due to charge build-up. If the collector bias is kept fixed then, for (negative) emitter-base voltages VEB less in magnitude than the built-in voltage of the gallium-indium arsenide p-n junction, most of the bias voltage falls across this junction because its impedance is considerably greater than the impedance of the two quantum wells in series, both of which are conducting via resonant tunneling (as indicated by arrows in FIG. 2). If the magnitude of VEB is increased further to equal the built-in voltage, the junction reaches a flat-band configuration and becomes strongly conducting. Any additional increase in the magnitude of VEB will then fall -primarily across the quantum wells (see FIG. 3), such sells being designed so that the ground state in the quantum well is significantly above the Fermi level in the adjacent cladding layers. The electric field across the quantum wells is nonuniform and highest at the aluminum-indium arsenide barrier adjacent to the n-region of the p-n junction (i.e., closest to the base layer) as due to the screening of the field by the charge accumulated in the wells during resonant tunneling. If VEB is increased further still, resonant tunneling is quenched across the quantum well closest to the indium-gallium arsenide p-n junction, and this process repeats itself for each quantum well in sequence. Once resonant tunneling has been quenched across a quantum well, the voltage drop across such quantum well increased rapidly with increased bias voltage due to increased resistance. The nonresonant tunneling component (i.e., thermionic emission and inelastic tunneling) through the quantum well is large enough to provide continuity for the resonant-tunneling current flowing through the other quantum well(s). Every time resonant tunneling through a quantum well is quenched there is a drop in the electron current injected from the emitter to the base and an attendant drop in the collector current. Thus, a negative transconductance region is obtained in the collector current as a function of VEB, corresponding to the quenching of resonant tunneling through each quantum well. With N quantum wells there will be N peaks in the transfer characteristics.
In the case of the device of FIG. 1, and as shown in FIG. 5 (corresponding to room-temperature operation) and FIG. 6 (corresponding to operation at a temperature of approximately 77 K), two peaks are observed in the current-voltage characteristics (collector current versus VEB at a fixed collector-base voltage VCB =0.1 V). For VEB greater in magnitude than the built-in voltage of approximately 0.7 V., the p-n junction begins to conduct strongly and the collector current increases rapidly until resonant tunneling through the first quantum well is quenches. This sequence repeats itself for the second quantum well, thus giving rise to a second peak. The peak-to-valley ratio for the first peak is approximately 4:1 at 300 K, and 3:1 for the second peak. At liquid-nitrogen temperature the corresponding ratios are 22:1 and 8:1. The current-voltage characteristics were found to be essentially the same for different values of the collector-base voltage VCB.
Common-emitter output characteristics of the device of FIG. 1 at room temperature are shown in FIG. 7 for base current IB up to 1 mA, in FIG. 8 for IB up to 1.4 mA. and in FIG. 9 for IB up to 1.8 mA. At low values of IB (low VBE), the applied base-emitter voltage drops mainly across the p-n junction until flat-band condition is reached, the device behaving like a conventional bipolar transistor with a small-signal current gain as high as 70; see FIG. 7. FIG. 8 shows quenching of current gain at IB =1.2 mA, with a peak-to-valley ratio of about 6:1.As IB (VBE) is increased further, a second negative-differential-resistance region is produced in the collector current versus VCE characteristic at IB =1.6 mA, associated with quenching of resonant tunneling across the other quantum well; see FIG. 9.
FIG. 10 and 11 show common-emitter transfer characteristic, IC versus VBE, at constant VCE =2.5 V at respective temperature of 300 K and 77 K. At constant VCE, as VBE increases, the emitter and collector currents increase until the emitter-base junction reaches flat-band condition. Beyond flat-band condition, at higher VBE, resonant tunneling through the two quantum wells quenches sequentially, and sharp drops in the emitter and collector currents are observed. The highest peak-to-valley ratio in the transfer characteristics is 4:1 at room temperature, and about 20:1 at 77 k. The current-voltage characteristics were found to be essentially the same for different values of the collector-base voltage VCE.
Devices of the invention can be used in a variety of circuits as implemented, typically, in the form of integrated circuits. Based on transfer characteristics as shown in FIG. 10 and 11, a frequency multiplier circuit can be designed according to FIG. 12 (For the sake of specificity and convenience, the following feasible values are provided with reference to FIG. 12: VCC =3.0 V, VBB =1.8 V, RC =5Ω, and RB =50Ω.)
In frequency-multiplier circuit operation, as the input voltage is increased the collector current increases and the collector voltage decreases until the device reaches the negative transconductance regions, where a sudden drop in the collector current and an increase in the output voltage are observed. Thus, under suitable bias (VBB), triangular input waves are multiplied by a factor of three (see FIG. 13), and sine waves by a factor of five (see FIG. 14). (For the sake of clarity, output waveforms in FIG. 13 and 14 are shown inverted in phase.) Among specific advantages of the circuit of FIG. 12 is the fact that the output signal is ground-referenced and isolated from the input--as due to multiple peaks in the transfer characteristics of a transistor. Under suitable operating conditions, the circuit of FIG. 12 can alternatively serve for waveform scrambling.
FIG. 15 shows a circuit for parity-bit generation whose operation involves adding up four input bits at the base node of the transistor by the resistive network to generate a stepped waveform. The quiescent bias of the transistor, adjusted by the resistance RB1, and the values of the resistance R0 are chosen to select the operating points of the transistor alternately as low and high collector current levels at the successive steps of the summed voltage. Thus, the output voltage at the collector will be high or low depending on whether the number of input bits set high is even or odd, respectively. While 24 ordinary transistors are needed in an optimized conventional parity-bit circuit using three exclusive OR's, the circuit according to FIG. 15 performs the same function with a single transistor of the invention. Moreover, while conventional parity generators operate by hierarchically comparing two input bits at a time, in the present circuit all input bits are handled simultaneously, and this results in higher operating speed.
The circuit of FIG. 15 was tested by means of pseudo-random 4-bit words. Experimental results are shown in FIG. 16 (77 K) and FIG. 17 (room temperature), the top and bottom traces respectively representing the collector output and the base waveforms.
FIG. 18 shows three devices of the invention combined to form an analog-to-digital converter. In this application, the analog input Vi is applied simultaneously to a parallel array of resonant-tunneling transistors through a plurality of voltage-scaling networks, namely, R0 and R1, R0 and R2, and R0 and R3 to RTBT1, RTBT2, and RTBT3, respectively. Thus an interlaced pattern of harmonically related transfer characteristics is produced. The outputs from the array from a binary code which represents the quantized analog input level.
FIG. 19 shows a multiple-valued logic (or multiple-state memory) circuit as based on multiple-valued negative differential resistance characteristics at the emitter-collector terminals or a RTBT when the base-collector junction is held at fixed bias VBC. Variations in VCE then cause variations in VEB, causing the collector current to peak as VEB crosses a tunneling resonance; see FIG. 20. When connected to a resistive load RL and voltage supply VCC, the resulting load line intersects the current-voltage characteristic at N stable points, where N is the number of resonant peaks. Thus, the circuit acts as an N-state memory element which can provide high-density data storage. The element can be latched onto any one of the stable states by momentarily applying a voltage close to the desired state.

What the fuck?
How could you kill Mulan like that?!
It said that the arrow didn't exactly land on her heart so I was hopeful that she wasn't going to die, but then the pendant broke and she loves Tao more than Shang and Fung and Fa Li died and Shang didn't even get angry that Mulan loved Tao and just like WHAT THE FUCK?

Thanks for having her fearful at the end of the chapter she seemed a little to happy for being forced to marry a hun ...
| travis chapter 19 . 9/6/2010
i hated this story because mulan should be with shang not tao her mother shouldn't have been raped and gotten pregnant her father should not have died neither should the emperor or any of the imperial family she should not have loved tao that was stupid and mulan should not have died, neither should have her mother or grandma the ending sucked because she died and she loved tao not shang you should make another ending cause that was stupid. the beginning was good then it got into mulan not knowing what she felt for tao and her father dieing and shit. over all this was the WORST STORY EVER WRITTEN ABOUT MULAN YOU SUCK! not to mention you should learn how they talk back then and mulan who never swear GOD! THIS WAS HORRIBLE YOU ARE HORRIBLE! i am so to have to say that but it is really sure!
| Don'tCare001 chapter 19 . 8/30/2010
I cry... and cry... and I can't stop crying!
| mm chapter 19 . 6/20/2010
oh pleeease make an alternative ending! mulan can't be dead and in love with tao! she was supposed to be with shang!
| TheRoaringDragon chapter 19 . 6/9/2010
Wow. I didn't see that coming. I didn't see any of that coming! You are pretty good at developing a plotline, and not making it predictable. However, I feel that in the middle you started to make the characters out of character. When you made Mulan fall in love with Tao instead of Shang, I couldn't help but feel confused there. Aside from those things though, it was a story with a good plot to start out with, but by the end I wasn't really feeling the same enthusiasm. I still enjoyed it though, so thank you for writing! D

About alanbleiweiss
Forensic SEO consultant, industry speaker, blogger and author working in online marketing since January 1995
Where do I sign up to be "John Doe 7"? I'd enjoy being referred to as John Doe #7.
since I work in search marketing, I've had clients hire me to help with their online reputation. I don't always take them on as clients (Streisand effect, etc.)
Once in a while, it's much more complicated. I had one client where a competitor hired an agency to post false content all around the web, mostly on sites that stand behind the "we just host it" claim.
Even though my client won the legal battle, the posters had been "an outside agency", and used false profiles. Just to get the first court process done took two years and $100,000.
To actually get a court to direct those sites to remove that content (since the "anonymous John Does" and their "agency" were unreachable) was expected to take at least another two years. And that much more money.
Seriously. It's a major problem.
Sure, I think forcing search engines to take down links is a mostly horrific path, the system is critically broken as it is, and real human lives, livelihoods and reputations are ruined all the time by malicious troll behavior and actions.
Actually that's a false flag claim under various circumstances.
One that comes to mind is if information is posted that is flagrantly false, (as has been claimed in such cases all the time), then it has nothing to do with erasing history. It has every thing to do with restoring credibility where it is rightly due.
Only immature people think "if its on the internet, it must be true, and should become part of history".
I believe the current statutory guidelines call for "hell freezing over".
Thank you Senator Wyden for taking the time to so clearly and concisely refute the continued lies, deception and twisting of facts coming from people who, while vital to the interests of our country, are obviously drunk with power, ego and arrogance.
THIS is why I
Used to freak out knowing I was approaching a red light camera intersection back when I lived in the SF bay area. Then, this year when I made plans to move to Arizona, started reading old blog posts about Redflex and their scammy ways. Total relief when I learned killing off the Redflex Plague there was already a done deal.
Unfettered capitalism. Greed, control, arrogance. This is why some laws are just necessary in a society, even if we want more freedom than we get most of the time.
I audit 60 to 80 sites a year. From the smallest mom-pop to enterprise global sites with hundreds of millions of pages.
The vast majority of sites are owned and maintained by small business owners who don't know what they're doing, and barely can afford to implement fundamental necessities, yet they do so nonetheless, and that allows them to participate in the digital community.
As much as I personally would prefer that every site be set up, maintained and upgraded by qualified professionals, it's not realistic in the current environment.
Worse still, I've seen more than several developers screw up some of what I consider the most fundamental technical changes necessary for a site to function.
From the original post:
Then, in the long term, the vendor might decide to represent non-secure origins in the same way that they represent Bad origins.
Most consumers could well make assumptions (correctly or incorrectly) from how its presented. "WARNING - THIS SITE IS UNSECURE" implies danger.
It wouldn't be unrealistic to assume that many consumers interpret that to be "so dangerous that I should avoid it, without thinking through what this really means in this situation".
As a User Experience professional, I have seen all too often that a majority of end users have a very difficult time applying critical thought to their online decision making process.
So the question here then - does the good outweigh the bad? I say too many site owners who are incapable of adapting will suffer.
I hate social engineering. If a site is informational only, there's absolutely no reason to force it into an HTTPS status. To eventually make it APPEAR that an HTTP site is somehow BAD, or DANGEROUS is a horrific notion.
There are so many perfectly legitimate, valid, helpful and worthy sites that won't go to HTTPS for a plethora of reasons this effort will only hurt more than it helps.
I disagree. If you're not going to allow proper https functionality, the correct best practices functionality should have the https version automatically redirect via 301 server redirect to the non https version.
This ensures that anyone getting to the page will actually get a page.
As someone who audits sites for a living, I can't tell you how sad it is out there. Most site managers / devs who roll out HTTPS make big mistakes.
I've seen it do so much harm it's pathetic. And the bigger the site, the more likely there's a lack of proper QA testing overall long before a site tries to go "all" HTTPS.
So this is a perfect example of that.
I'm cyincal. I take it to mean "We'll just plug a USB device in and scrape the entire contents of the phone before we get a warrant"...
Or of course other situations will be done in the name of national security or some bullshit.
Quoted from a CNN article on the ruling:
"We will make use of whatever technology is
available to preserve evidence on cell phones while seeking
a warrant, and we will assist our agents in determining
when exigent circumstances or another applicable exception
to the warrant requirement will permit them to search the
phone immediately without a warrant," Canale said. (Canale
is from the DOJ)
"permanent secretary of the Information and Communications Technology Ministry"
So exactly how permanent is such a position in a country like this? I mean is it "permanent as long as this coup lasts" permanent? Or is it "permanent even if some other group stages a coup later" permanent?
I think before they shut down all social media entirely (because you know - fomenting unrest during such an important period of unrest is wrong), they should be more clear in the titles they issue to people...
I agree. Its a difficult issue for sure. However it definitely emphasizes the concept of proper due diligence. Something seriously lacking in the business world.
oh - forgot to mention credit for the word for word transcript and my being alerted to this goes to an article from Barry Schwartz over at SearchEngineLand
Just saw this:
Matt Cutts, head of Googles Search Spam unit stated on the record over on TWIT.TV their intent with the way they are going after spammers:
"If you want to stop spam, the most straight forward way to do it is to deny people money because they care about the money and that should be their end goal. But if you really want to stop spam, it is a little bit mean, but what you want to do, is sort of break their spirits. There are lots of Google algorithms specifically designed to frustrate spammers. Some of the things we do is give people a hint their site will drop and then a week or two later, their site actually does drop. So they get a little bit more frustrated. So hopefully, and we�ve seen this happen, people step away from the dark side and say, you know what, that was so much pain and anguish and frustration, let�s just stay on the high road from now on."
So my position that it IS punishment, in my opinion based on this statement,is correct. Punishment is designed to break people of a bad habit.
Here's the link to the full audio
ah thanks for the nofollow factor - I totally failed to check to see if they were nofollowed. Proving my "forensic SEO audit" skills aren't always used when I comment on the web. :-)
Okay as an actual SEO professional (one who only advocates real, sustainable SEO, and not crappy spam tactics), I will add this:
1. It IS punishment. Spam has gotten so far out of hand over the years that previous efforts to discourage and otherwise eliminate otherwise undeserving results from the organic listings were not getting the message across. Spam just became a massive business.
So to really send the message across, Google is now much more SEVERELY penalizing sites that use spam tactics, one of which is crappy link techniques. The notion here being that when a site gets a manual penalty for crap links, it becomes a very daunting task to clean up now.
Couple that with most of those sites then needing to re-earn (or in actually earn for the first time in legitimate ways) rankings, and more sites are doing all they can to become good netizens.
2. Leaving spam comments up just to spite foolish site owners is NOT helpful to TechDirt. And it doesn't contribute to punishing those site owners because they'll just disavow the links if you leave them up.
In fact, where it CAN be a problem for TechDirt is if Google's system detects too many spam comments, this site WILL be penalized.
I doubt there are that many on TD, so it's highly unlikely that this scenario would happen (as compared to sites like Mashable or others that have free-for-all comment spam where those are more likely to see some sort of hit).
3. Charging site owners to remove their links is a possible revenue stream, however the overwhelming majority of site owners or link-clean-up providers who encounter a fee situation ignore it and just disavow those links.
And for those site owners who come to me for an audit after they've been penalized, that's exactly what I recommend to them. Along with noting in their tracking of their clean-up those sites that attempted to charge for the service. Because that's potentially subject to being viewed as an extortion scheme under some circumstances (not a TD scenario though either).

Sump pump in window well
We have a very large (21' X 6') window well in our basement. In Colorado it doesn't rain much, but we occasionally experience very localized thunderstorms that can dump huge amounts of rain (1/3 of a year's worth) in a few hours. This happened two years ago, and the window well began to fill up with water, eventually causing water to leak in at the base of the windows and to flood the unfinished basement.
Now we've finished the basement I'd like to avoid a repeat of this mess. The bottom of the well is a few layers of gravel over very compacted, clayey soil. I have two possible ideas:
1) Dig a shallow trench and lay in some perforated pipe with a sock. Connect this to a sump (probably a 5-gal bucket) buried in the well. Put in a pump to pump out any water.
2) Forget the pipe. Maybe slightly grade the soil to tilt the bottom of the well to one end. Put the bucket and the pump at that end.
The grading of the house is fine. The problem is the rain that actually lands in the well, not water flowing from elsewhere. The well is so large that it would essentially be impossible to cover it. When the basement was refinished, I had a GFCI outlet put in outside in the window well.
Any comments or other suggestions?
Do you mean 21 inches by 6 foot? I am in Colorado too...ugly expansive clay soil!! We had to have our whole engineered structural OSB floor removed and the basement dug down another foot or so because the clay was swelling and causing structural movement. We had the perimeter trenches inside the basement redug, french drains and gravel put in, a second sump pit dug and when they were doing that they recommended that we put drains in the three window wells that would drain into the perimeter trenches that drain to the two sump pits. Our window wells are quite large too - about 5.5 ft by 3.5 ft.
No, karinmarie, I mean 21 feet by 6 feet! It's very long. It's not that deep-about 3 feet-and it's stepped, and we plant flowers in an upper bed. The point was to bring light into an entire wall of the basement. It's much too big to reasonably cover, and even if we could it would look ugly because of its size. So I think we'll need a pump.
Okay...now I can picture it. I thought it was a typo!
Probably putting a french drain in the length of the window well is your best bet with a small sump pump/pit. Not a big area like a basement so wouldn't have to be big but you sure don't want water down there after finishing. The clay here is so nasty...when it rains a lot at once it won't just drain away like in other soils. Our house before was only about 5 miles away but completley different soil.

Also you must have Busy Box Installed.
Here is the link to Google Play of that busybox app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ybox.installer
Don't install the few latest versions because it is in nightlies.
I use Samsung Galaxy Y and I use the version 1.18.2.
Reboot your phone after installation.
Also you must have script manager installed.
Here is the link to Google Play of that manager app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....scriptmanager
Open Script Manager and give super user access.
Tap on Menu > Advanced Options > Config
Scroll down until you see Browse as Root
Tap on it and press the back button to save
Once again grant Script Manager SuperUser Access to save config
Exit Script Manager
Now again open Script Manager and browse for your script file (name_of_the_script.sh)
Tap on it and set properties to:
Favorites (Star Icon)
Root (Green Android Skull Icon)
After setting properties, tap on Run to execute the script installer.
When executed, it will do initial test, be patient and wait for it to complete its tasks.
If it shows errors that your phone is not rooted and the app doesn't have root permissions, then,
Sometimes, some methods are better than using terminal.
Download a root checker app from the play store and check whether your phone is really rooted.
If no, try to root again by following tutorials on xda.
If yes, update su binaries.
Also go to settings / preferences of superuser app, and click automatic response and then select 'allow'.
If you want to get yourself with terminal emulator commands, then see the following link
If you are trying to copy a script from sdcard to internal memory, you can do that in three ways AFAIK:
copy the file via terminal
copy the file via file manager apps
copy by making a edify script and flashing it
If you are trying to run a script, you can do that in two ways AFAIK:
copy the file via terminal
copy by making a edify script and flashing it
Download Android Terminal Emulator from Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...roidterm&hl=en
Goto Preferences in terminal and select Initial Command and enter "su" and save it
Also Change the terminal type to "linux" when you are using linux type commands.
Press thanks if I have helped.

Like us on Facebook
Times, check. Caffeine, check. Super cute dog, check. It must be chilly in Manhattan cause lil Liccy has his fave jumpsuit all ready to go. Despite the fact that my pup would probably soil that ensemble, it's sweet of Famke to bundle her Boston up 'cause I know how heat (and cold) sensitive those smooshies can be!
It's clear she loves her lil man whether they're showing off their acting chops together or just driving around town, it's great to see celebrities out with their dogs just like us! Well, minus the paparazzi that is . . .
Check out a couple more piccys of the dynamic duo – in which Licorice gives us the sweet stink eye – below!
