Basically, as long as they're not a 21st century female, I'm on board. They could even be from the 20th century (preferably earlier) and I wouldn't mind.
Personally, my favorite Master stories are probably Utopia, The Sea Devils and The Mind of Evil. Utopia's ending is one of the best twists in Who history and having two fantastic portrayals of the character makes it a real treat. The Sea Devils is just plain fun! That sword fight! And I love how the Master remains in control, even while imprisoned. Finally, I think the list in the article really undersold The Mind of Evil: it's got international intrigue, a prison riot, a nuclear missile, and an evil, teleporting, hallucination-inducing, lobotomy machine!
Though not one of my favorites, Capaldi is undoubtedly the Doctor. There hasn't been a bad Doctor yet or a bad actor to play him. And who knows? Twelve could become my favorite down the line. I am looking forward to seeing how he develops.
I love the idea. It's a nice way of testing out how a gender-swapped Time Lord would work before doing it with the Doctor. Although, thus far, I don't think she's shown us the Mistress at her best (or worst).
Though I'm reserving final judgement until the end of the season, my reaction to 12 has been quite mixed. I'm still processing why, but I'll try to articulate it. For one thing, I think people, myself included, are comparing 12 to 11. Personally, 11 blew me away right from the start. 'The Eleventh Hour' remains my favorite Doctor Who story (and I've seen most of them, Classic included), and I believe it is well liked among other fans as well. Matt Smith had me worried after Tennant, who was my favorite at the time. But right out of the gate, 11 was just the Doctor, top to bottom. 'Deep Breath'...not so much. Part of the problem was the attitude displayed by Clara in that episode, and indeed much of the season so far. She is disturbed by his change, which is odd considering she's met other Doctors before. We in turn, tend to react as she reacts. Also, it seems that nearly every episode has been bent on reminding us that the Doctor can do terrible things. This isn't anything new, we've seen glimpses of the negative impact the Doctor can have, on his companions especially. I'm all for exploring the Doctor's darker side, but I've felt bludgeoned over the head with it at times this season. The audience WANTS to like the Doctor, but the writers seem intent on reminding us why we maybe shouldn't. That's not to say 12's run has been all doom and gloom though. I found Clara's subtle motherly influence on him in 'Listen' (a follow up, I think from 'The Day of the Doctor') to be extremely interesting to watch. I enjoy 12's professor-like nature, his blackboards and his "question/answer" style of deduction. 'Time Heist' fulfilled a scenario wish I've had for a long time (how has there never been a Who heist until now?) and 'Flatline' 's dimension bending antagonists and story elements were refreshing and innovative. All in all, I doubt 12 will be one of my favorites, but thus far the season has felt uninspiring. Perhaps that's what's been missing: inspiration. Even in their darkest moments, 10 and 11 still inspired hope and wonder in me. 12 has not done so as often, or with as much impact. Doctor Who remains one of my favorite shows, but season 8 has not been the bright spot at the end of my week. Like the Doctor's face though, his character is malleable. 7's clownish behavior gave way to Machiavellian cunning. Who's to say 12 won't lighten up as time goes one?
Unicorn and the Wasp, though Shakespeare Code is a close second. Both of them take a historical figure and then puts them in a situation similar to their work.
I didn't like this episode very much. I have a hard time putting my finger on why though. I like Gareth Roberts' other work for the series and Moffat's my favorite writer. The acting was solid, and a lot of the humor, like the Courtney Wood bits, was very funny. I hope a rewatch will clear it up for me, but my initial impression is that this was a below average episode, which is unfortunate, since Danny and the Doctor meeting is potentially a very important event.
Regardless of how they got there, the barn and the implied adjoining house are NOT the Doctor's childhood home. In "The Time Monster" the Third Doctor states that his family's house was on the side of a mountain. In Day of the Doctor, the barn is on a desert plain. If it's not the Doctor's home, then where is it? My guess is that like Danny, the Doctor lived in an orphanage. According to some material the Doctor's father at least was still alive before the Time War, so it may be he had to stay in this place while his father was away. Even so, I don't know that that's why he's crying. Also in "The Time Monster," the Doctor claims that he experienced his "blackest day" while still living at his family's mountain home and that he came to terms with it thanks to a Hermit on the mountain. Therefore it seems likely that the young Doctor has just looked into the Untempered Schism.
The Unquiet Dead. Still one of my favorite pseudo-historicals. Cold War and The Crimson Horror would be my next picks after that.
Loved the return of the clockwork droids, Capaldi was brilliant, and I liked the hints dropped about the Doctor using someone else's face.
I do feel Clara's reaction was a bit extreme though, considering she's personally met 3 Doctors (if not all of them, with her timeline experience from Name). I also think some bits could have been trimmed, like Strax's examination. And the whole "boyfriend" business didn't really ring true for me. The Doctor really treated her as more of a puzzle until the "Doctor" trilogy.
Still I'm cautiously optimistic. I guess my standards were too high, since the Eleventh Hour rocked my socks when I first saw it (and since it's my favorite episode ever, classic or revived series).
@Rani Nose Did you not see the words "could be" and "depend on?"
If that meant that this Danny guy would stick around, I could be on-board. The Doctor needs another Jamie, another bro. Still, it would depend on how good a character he is.
A crush on her? Hmmm....I think the Doctor was enamored with the mystery she presented, rather than anything romantic. And when he wasn't treating her like a puzzle, I felt he acted more like an absurd uncle than anything.
I hope this is the new TARDIS color scheme. I love the gold time rotor.
I believe this was explained away in one of the Eighth Doctor's other format stories (i.e. comics or Big Finish). But if it wasn't, you just watch us RTD!
Although the choice is obvious ('Day'), it's not an easy one. A Christmas Carol is my favorite Christmas special and The Snowmen is a close second. And The Time of the Doctor may be my favorite regeneration story.
While I have nothing but distaste for Love and Monsters, and Journey to the Center of the TARDIS is a good episode, many of the episodes here are among New Who's best! Blink is spectacular, The Doctor Dances is wonderful, Midnight is horrifying, and The Girls Who Waited is devastating, but I ultimately had to go with Vincent and the Doctor.
It does a fantastic job of emphasizing the characters over the plot, to the point where the creature is almost an afterthought. What's important is Amy and the Doctor helping Vincent. As someone who has depression, Vincent's struggles really hit home for me and the ending gets me every time. That Vincent is able to appreciate beauty even with his condition gives me hope. I'm reminded of the Third Doctor's Daisiest Daisy speech from Frontier in Space, the essential message of which is this: the secret of life is to enjoy it as much as you can.
This is a really tough one. I love the whodunnit of the Unicorn and the Wasp, and Donna's my absolute favorite companion. 42 is my favorite episode for Martha, she's just fantastic in it. And The Long Game is a great commentary on the role of media.
A Good Man Goes to War is the best in terms of overall quality, although I almost voted for The Rings of Akhaten for its fantastic music, tone, visuals and Eleven's brilliant monologue.
I'm glad so many others think as highly, or nearly as highly, of The Eleventh Hour as I do. It's my absolute favorite Doctor Who episode, including classic episodes (although I haven't seen all the black and whites). I was doubtful about Matt Smith going in, but this episode exceeded all my expectations. The music, the tone, the humor, the music, the villain, the foreshadowing, the MUSIC! And Matt Smith was so at ease and natural in the row, it's no wonder he's gone on to become my favorite Doctor. I look forward to Peter Capaldi, although I don't know if he can top Matt Smith in my book. Still, that's what I said about David Tennant...
Hide made it much higher on the list than I was expecting! Can someone illuminate what I'm clearly missing about the episode? I like it fine, but not more than a lot of episodes seen so far.
The Lodger and Amy's Choice made it much higher than I'd have thought. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy both, but for me the best episodes balance drama and comedy better than those two did.
I would like to see either Whithouse, Chibnall or Gatiss or some combination of them in the role. Part of me hopes that Gatiss won't get it so he and Moffat can concentrate on Sherlock, though. And I hope that, unlike RTD, when he leaves Moffat may still contribute the occasional script perhaps another standalone like Blink or The Girl in the Fireplace.

Fundamental characteristics of degradation- recoverable solid-state DFB polymer laser |
Optics Express, Vol. 20, Issue 4, pp. 4690-4696 (2012)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1236 KB)
A novel solid-state dye laser with degradation recovery was proposed and demonstrated. Polydimethylsiloxane was used as a nanoporous solid matrix to enable the internal circulation of dye molecules in the solid state. An internal circulation model for the dye molecules was also proposed and verified numerically by assuming molecular mobility and using a proposed diffusion equation. The durability of the laser was increased 20.5-fold compared with that of a conventional polymethylmethacrylate laser. This novel laser solves the low-durability problem of dye-doped polymer lasers.

MSC Armonia Cruise Review by Ranfurly: Appalling food

Compare Prices on MSC Armonia Canary Islands Cruises
Appalling food
One of the expectations of cruising is that the food will be of a reasonably high standard. We have cruised Celebrity, Cunard, Princess, Fred Olsen and others and the food has been a highlight.
Food on board MSC Armonia was so appalling. as to be virtually inedible. One main course on the gala dinner was grilled prawns which turned out to be three complete prawns still on the shell and lying in an unidentifiable sauce garnished with an eggcup size portion of rice. How one was supposed to eat the prawns remains a mystery. The remaining meals and choices were equally as bad and usually served lukewarm. The breakfast buffet was dreadful with rubber scrambled egg and almost cold mini omelettes.
The Allegrissimo drinks package was a bargain except that the promised choice of two white wines and two red wines didn't materialize.
This was very sad as the balcony cabin itself was .excellent and larger than most other lines and embarkation and disembarkation were More
well handled. It is clear that MSC only offer lower priced cruises by sacrificing any attempt at food quality and presentation. Poor training meant that waiters frequently put the wrong food in front of you or missed a course entirely ( not a bad thing given the appalling quality. We won't be using MSC again or recommending it. Less

By PAUL D. BOWKER
A couple of months ago, Olympic gold came to the United States.
In the midst of training for her first Olympic Games, Greenfield's Elena Pirozhkova found herself face-to-face against the two-time Olympic gold medalist in women's freestyle (63 kilograms, 138.75 pounds). Every day for a week.
Japan's Kaori Icho, who won the 63kg weight class at the Athens 2004 Olympic Games and again at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, had arrived at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo., for an international training experience. And perhaps also to scout her competition: Pirozhkova, the silver medalist at the 2010 World Championships.
"When my coach said she was going to come, I was pretty surprised," Pirozhkova said during a pre-Olympics press conference in London. "Of all the countries she could train in, she could be training with so many other people, she's coming to the United States. I told myself in my head, I was like, 'All right, she's scared of me. She's come here to check me out maybe.'"
Those training sessions set the table for what will transpire Wednesday at the ExCel in London. Pirozhkova, a 2005 Greenfield High School graduate and a resident athlete at the U.S. Olympic Training Center, will chase after her first Olympic medal when the women's 63kg freestyle competition is held, start-to- finish, in one day.
Pirozhkova, 25, is one of 17 women trying to unseat Icho as Olympic champion. Pirozhkova earned her first Olympic berth by winning her weight class at the U.S. Olympic Trials, and doing so in impressive fashion. She arrived as the No. 1 seed and won both of her matches against Adeline Gray to clinch a spot on the Olympic Team.
"I want to wrestle well," Pirozhkova told the Republican from London, "and as any other person, some doubts creep into my head. But I know that I'm in the best shape of my life, and I am so ready for a big upset and to win the Olympics."
Training against the legendary Icho certainly helped Pirozhkova's confidence. Imagine for a moment that you are a two-time Olympic gold medalist and a seven-time world champion, and you're showing up in the other wrestler's country.
Pirozhkova treated it seriously.
"It was a really good opportunity for me because every single day I treated it like a competition," she said.
If the competition works out perfectly for Pirozhkova, she'll meet Icho in the final Wednesday night. But there's a day of preliminary, quarterfinal and semifinal matches to take place before that happens. More than half of the 18 wrestlers have won medals at the world championships, including 2011 silver medalist Marianna Sastin of Hungary, 2009 silver medalist Lyubov Volossova of Russia and two-time Olympian Martine Dugrenier of Canada.
U.S. national coach Terry Steiner believes that Pirozhkova has the best chance of any to knock off Icho. Relying on style more than strength, Pirozhkova gave just one point in her two matches at the Olympic Trials.
"She (Pirozhkova) doesn't have the same kind of attacks a lot of people do that you can prepare for," Steiner told nbcolympics.com. "She's probably a hard feel for people to get used to because they probably don't wrestle anyone like her."
Pirozhkova arrives at the Olympic Games with strong international experience, including a runner-up finish to Icho at the 2010 worlds. She is a four-time U.S. champion, a three-time Pan American Championships titlist and has finished no worse than eighth in any of the last four world championships. In one of her final preparations prior to the Olympic Games, she defeated longtime rival Justine Bouchard of Canada in the finals of the Canada Cup.
"I was real impressed," said two-time Olympian Anibal Nieves, the women's wrestling coach at Springfield Technical Community College and Pirozhkova's coach when she was a youth. "She moved quick. Her moves and technique were excellent. She was very impressive."
Nieves drove to Guelph, Ontario, Canada, to watch his former student wrestle. He'll also attend Pirozhkova's matches in London, thanks in part to fund-raising activities by Elena's family.
After the whirlwind of the Opening Ceremonies in London and a visit to the USA Wrestling team's practice by first lady Michelle Obama on the next day, featuring Pirozhkova's now-famous "lift" of Mrs. Obama, the USA Wrestling women's national team retreated to Marquise, France, for a week of training. There, Pirozhkova and her teammates not only had uninterrupted practice time, but also a bit of time to reflect on their mission mentally.
"All I do is train, eat and sleep," Pirozhkova said. "Oh, yeah, and go for long walks in the wheat fields here. It really is beautiful."

text: November 19, 2010The Online News WarThe newspaper business is clearly caught in a conundrum between providing free online content and making enough money to operate a business. That is ostensibly why the Denver Post and other Colorado newspapers recently threatened a local political blog with "injunctive relief" action if they fail to "cease and desist from any and all unauthorized literal copying..." It seems the blog had a "gentlemen's agreement" not to exerpt more than two paragraphs from a story it linked, but routinely lifted as many as eight paragraphs. A ThreeSources post this brazen is indeed rare. If you wanted to "whole thing, read, now" you'd click through, right? Media and Blogging Posted by JohnGalt at November 19, 2010 3:01 PMThis is like the Righthaven shakedown. At what point did newspapers discover there was more money to be had in copyright lawsuits than in publishing a newspaper? In the movie "Get Shorty," Harry Zimm (Gene Hackman) says "I once asked this literary agent what kind of writing paid the best. He said, 'Ransom notes.'" Clearly, he wasn't far wrong; extortion letters from lawyers are probably closely related.

you're right,sorry.. I try with the plugin you post and it loads propoerly...now I'm going to import my private key..it's possible? |
fret 06/07/2007 12:15pm |
Your key should be in your gpg installation, and Scribe will see it... or at least you should be able to select it in the plugin settings. |
hki 06/07/2007 12:36pm |
..oh..I cannot let it work.. I cannot manage my key or public ones..there's no a short manual or faq about gpg in scribe? |
hki 07/07/2007 7:47pm |
That's my conf: i.scribe v1.88 WinXP GPG 1.46 installed trying to crypt a new mail with recipient is a"contacts" and his name (on scribe address book) is different from the "real name" of the gpg-key owner , the GPG plugin always return the message "the recipient has no public on file" . BUT IT HAS!! To be able to works with GPG plugin there're 2 ways: 1: recipient mail address has not to be in the "contact" (..manually insert every time...) 2: the contact name MUST be the same of the gpg-key owner (a little bit limited..) Test I done ex: NOT WORK contact name: test contact mail: firstname.lastname@example.com then, assigning to the contact the real name of the owner for gpg key: contact name: prova contact mail: firstname.lastname@example.com IT WORKS Bye |

Guide on Wet Weather Flows Released
A guide released by the Water Environment Federation (WEF) offers management tips to wastewater plant owners and operators to deal with sewer overflows during heavy rains. The Guide to Managing Peak Wet Weather Flows in Municipal Wastewater Collection and Treatment Systems was developed under a cooperative agreement between the U.S. EPA and WEF.
The purpose of the guide is to provide a framework for owners, planners, designers and operators of wastewater collection and treatment systems to set objectives and evaluate alternatives for managing wastewater flows during heavy rains.
The guide offers management tips for utilities to implement EPA's proposed peak weather discharge policy, which was issued in December 2005. If adopted as proposed, the December policy would require wastewater utilities to identify and assess alternatives to blending fully and partially treated wastewater prior to discharge from a plan into lakes, rivers and streams during heavy rains.

Film Spectatorship
This process of appropriating or "queering" film assumes various forms and uses multiple tactics. At a general level, glbtq spectators are acutely adept at appropriating film to their own frames of reference and imbuing it with specifically queer affect. A pertinent example here would be a film such as The Wizard of Oz (1939). With its status as a mainstay of wholesome "family" cinema, The Wizard of Oz seems an unlikely candidate for queer popularization, but generations of glbtq spectators have responded to this film in ways that have rendered it patently queer. Out of the seemingly banal tale of a young girl's trip through a fantasyland, queer spectators have interpreted a mytho-epic journey from mundanity into queer difference and have reconstructed the film as an empowering ur-text of queer survivalism and community. Some critics suggest that glbtq spectators learn almost as habit to read film symptomatically, to scour texts for casual signs of queerness--a "colorful" supporting character; an ambiguous line of dialogue; a furtive glance between same-sex characters--that may seem insignificant to the film's immediate narrative function but that enable the production of coded queer subplots. Others claim that queer spectators prize film not so much for its stories, which are invariably heteronormative, but for its moments of spectacular transcendence and bewitching glamour--Dietrich in top hat and tails stooping to kiss a woman in the audience; Norma Desmond's staircase descent into madness; Mrs. Danvers' frenzied torching of Mandelay--and that they value these moments as symbolic gestures of social and sexual defiance. Other critics again highlight extra-textual elements such as star gossip and their use by queer spectators to subvert the heterosexual coding of a given star and his/her roles, thereby rendering the star available for specifically queer identification. In this context, one could consider the films of a star such as Rock Hudson that are replete with all manner of queer double-meanings when read in light of knowledge of his homosexuality. Today that knowledge circulates more or less freely, but during the height of Hudson's stardom in the 1950s, it was available to queer spectators through discourses of subcultural gossip. The common element across these diverse strategies of queer spectatorship is the desire to remake mainstream film in a way that better accommodates and supports queer interests and desires. Glbtq people have always shown great resourcefulness in making their own cultural meanings and spaces, often out of the very material of dominant culture that would seek to exclude them. Queer spectatorship is a potent example of this resistant creativity at work.

Kohl makes farewell appearance at Wisconsin Democratic convention
APPLETON, Wis. (AP) -- Herb Kohl, who has represented Wisconsin in the U.S. Senate since 1988, expressed gratitude to fellow Democrats Saturday in his farewell speech at the state party's annual convention in Appleton.
The 77-year-old Kohl announced last May that he would not be seeking re-election. Kohl told Democrats that it's been the greatest honor and responsibility in his lifetime to represent Wisconsin in the Senate.
Kohl has served four 6-year terms, winning his first term with the slogan "nobody's senator but yours." The Milwaukee Bucks owner told Democrats that he's not going anywhere and would be around to help the party in the years to come.
Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said Democrats should recognize the "incredible commitment" Kohl has made to Wisconsin, not just in the Senate, but throughout his life.

JEFFERSON CITY — Senators have approved legislation adding penalties and restrictions on illegal immigrants and employers.
Senators passed the bill 27-7 today, but it has a provision House leaders don't like. It would allow employers who misclassify workers as "contractors" instead of "employees" to be fined up to $50,000.
The bill also would require people to prove they are U.S. citizens or legally in the country when applying for food stamps, housing and other public benefits; penalize businesses that knowingly hire illegal immigrants; and order the Missouri State Highway Patrol to seek federal immigration training.
The bill now goes back to the House. The legislative session ends Friday.


text: A Top-12 Result for Hornish at BristolAugust 24, 2013THE RACEFood City 250 at Bristol Motor Speedway (.533-mile oval, Bristol, TN) Friday, August 23, 2013 THE RESULTS The No. 12 Snap-on Ford Mustang Driven By Sam Hornish Jr. Start Position: 13 Finish Position: 12 Status: Running Current Driver's Points Position: 1 THE RACE REVIEW · After starting the race from the 13th position, Hornish radioed that his No. 12 Snap-On Ford Mustang was tight in the corners over the opening laps. · At lap 83 Hornish reported that his Snap-on Ford had begun to develop an issue with the ignition. · A lap 103 caution flag gave the No. 12 Penske pit crew the chance to look under the hood of their Ford Mustang, where they discovered a faulty plug wire. However, they did not have time to change it and stay on the lead lap. · Hornish would maintain a solid presence in the top-12 for the balance of the race despite running on only seven cylinders. · Late in the race, Hornish worked his way through lap traffic and managed to bring his underpowered machine home in the 12th position. · With the result, Hornish maintains the lead for the series title. He holds a six point advantage over second-place competitor, Elliot Sadler. WHAT THEY ARE SAYING SAM HORNISH, JR. YOU HAD AN ENGINE ISSUE YET FINISHED STRONG, TELL US ABOUT YOUR RACE. "When the engine started missing I figured it was going to come apart, and it turned out that it was a spark plug wire issue. I knew that tonight was going to be rough. Our Snap-On Ford Mustang was a top-five race car if we had all eight cylinders I'm real proud of the guys and all the work that they did. They gave me a good car. I don't know if I jinxed myself, but I said over the last couple of weeks that if we can get through these races and do what we need to do and minimize our bad days to be a 15th-place finish instead of a 35th that we'll be alright and low and behold we get ourselves into a 12th-place. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO STILL HAVE THE POINTS LEAD TONIGHT? "You always want more when you go out, and feel like you had a good race car. You feel that you could have been in the top five with but at the end of the day it's a real good feeling. It's exactly where I wanted to be leaving here. I wanted to be in the points lead. The point lead may be a little bit slimmer, but I love going to Atlanta and the tracks that we've got coming up like Kentucky and Chicago – all places that I genuinely enjoy racing at. There's not a place that we go to for the rest of the year that I don't feel like we've got a shot at winning if we put ourselves in the right position." Back to previous page.

You may think this is crazy, but I had a bottle of A Hardy Pineau des Charentes sitting in my closet for over 10 years,. Being not much of a drinker, I would display all my bottles for the holidays.. and always seem to pass this one by. Well this Christmas I decided to crack it open. Except for the little bits of cork floating around inside the bottle, ( which I strained before serving). I poured a bit into a small glass and took a sip. Wonderful !! Oh, my, why did I not risk my taste buds before, and deprived myself of such a splendid concoction of Cognac and fruit. The sweet taste, the golden color, the warm feel that rose inside me. But the taste, that taste !! It started to bring me back in time. It's all so clear now, I've had this before. While attending a small party down in NYC hosted by a French restaurant around 1995, they were promoting the Pineau des Charentes.. How I loved it then. I am in love with it again. I am happy you are back in my life!!!.
you do not ship to Chicago, so where can I purchase it
Tasting Notes Created from fresh Charentes grape must to which Cognac has been added before it could ferment.

Some Korean words sound like Cantonese

Posted 26 April 2005 - 09:10 PM
I am wondering I been watching Dae Jang Guem (大長今) and I have been noticing that some korean words sound like cantonese; therefore, I want to know if Korean was a Chinese dialect or some sort...
It simply mean Corean barrowed some Han vocabs when the official language in Centeria was still more similar to traditional Han pronounciations.
Lai Ho, Formosan Poet
Posted 26 April 2005 - 09:41 PM
When did this happened? I mean if what you said is true, how many percent of the korean vocabs are Han pronounciation?
Around a good 50%
Posted 26 April 2005 - 10:31 PM
So their language can be considered the language that was spoken by the Hans.
If you're trying to make a linguistic connection between Chinese and Korean it's strictly limited to loan words. Nothing more and nothing less.

More groundless theorizing: are there records showing that the Warring States were all speaking the same language? Or even indications that 'the people' under especially these early empires were all talking the same language as the individuals recording the history of the rulers (in writing)? I seem to remember that the Qin-Jinhan language argument involved advancing some pretty weird-looking Qin vocabulary and I wonder about the possibility of the situation which we assume to have applied to the future Koreas and Japans and so many other states of the periphery areas- where they're writing in one language and speaking something totally different- being applicable 'closer to home' if we bring it back far enough? Any shot that the Qin's role in the formation of 'China' may be a little overexaggerated by now? They didn't last and were replaced by the Han state which, coincidence or convenience or not, gives us the name of the language written and spoken today.GJ, any new views on the Chinese record saying that Chin-Han spoke the Qin dialect? Does it suggest that the early Korean kingdoms were influenced by a very ancient form of Chinese, even before the Middle Chinese of the Age of Fragmentation, Sui and Tang?
A simple 'yes, these records exist' and I'll shut up.
Actually, know what, these might have been loan words too. I think you guys were addressing something similiar on the legends of Kija thread?

GJ, any new views on the Chinese record saying that Chin-Han spoke the Qin dialect? Does it suggest that the early Korean kingdoms were influenced by a very ancient form of Chinese, even before the Middle Chinese of the Age of Fragmentation, Sui and Tang?
I have wondered about this -- I've heard that the "f" sound is nonexistent in Han dynasty Chinese, and voila, the sound is also absent in modern Korean. I'm guessing the Koreans actually kept this feature that is lost among the Chinese Am I way off or do I get a cigar Note: I'm in no way claiming that Koreans originally spoke Chinese. At least the present form of Korean did not originate out of a Chinese dialect -- the syntax is just way, way different. The similarities come from the loan words.
Posted 27 April 2005 - 01:07 AM
the Sanguo Zhi and the Jin Shu both mention that Chinhan originated as a refuge given by the Mahan 马韩 to refugees from Qin. Hence they were also known as the Qinhan 秦韩. They referred to the people of Lelang 乐浪 prefecture as A'can 阿残, meaning 'our (a) remnants (can)'. They also used a different language, with terms that were native to the Qin region, rather than the northeast or even Yan and Zhao. For example, 邦 instead of 国, 寇 instead of 贼, 行觞 instead of 行酒, and 弧 instead of 弓. They addressed each other as 徒, just like the Qin people did.
The part about 邦 is familiar to me, because the Qin prime minister was called the xiangbang and not the xiangguo (come to think of it, does this have implications regarding Liu Bang's name?). And 贼 and 寇 are synonyms in later Chinese but were apparently from different linguistic traditions during the Qin (寇 was probably the older word, because Western Zhou and a few Warring States had an official called the Sikou, in charge of prisons). This is similar to the fact that the two words for dog in Chinese, 'gou' and 'quan', are of different origin - 'quan' is supposedly Sino-Tibetan while 'gou' is Tai-Kadai, and 'gou' has become more popular over time.
Shang 觞 is now an "archaic word" for wine cup, and Hu 弧 is now an "archaic word" for bow. It is likely that their replacement by 酒 and 弓 during the Han was a process in which one regional vocabulary became dominant over another. This process did not take place in Chin-Han, which was cut off from cultural developments in the Central Plain.

I've heard that the "f" sound is nonexistent in Han dynasty Chinese
It's also absent in the Fujian dialect, which bears more similarity to Han dynasty Chinese (Middle Chinese). Hearing native Taiwanese mispronounce their 'f' as 'h' can be very amusing

Michigan mother sues school district after son disciplined for opposing homosexuality
Catholic World News - December 16, 2011
A Catholic woman in Michigan has filed a federal lawsuit against the local school district, after her teenage son was expelled from a classroom for stating his opposition to homosexuality.
Daniel Glowaki, 16, was disciplined by an economics teacher who had devoted a class to an anti-bullying campaign organized by the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. The school district eventually disciplined the teacher in turn, suspending him for one day, but later lifted that suspension.

This is one of the tactics of the political agenda advancing homosexuality: you do it under the guise of anti-bullying which is a not topic in schools. The light should be shined on this tactic which this story does to prevent this kind of social engineering in our public schools.

Yes, this is the OG TV pilot. Crazy.
BoxTalk '95…turn this all the way up…much gems dropped.
Holy shit…Pang in '89.
Been a while…
Official video to the iTunes bonus track. You should already know. I can't stress how much I wish this was on my CD version as the closer. Yep…here at PTP…even on Labor Day, our guns work. Well…generally, Monday's the start of the "regular work week"…which means often hitting your alarm clock and contemplating on whether or not to end things right then and there with one easy squeeze (either for yourself or perhaps for someone else during your commute or at the workplace). But honestly, I'm not with the whole suicide thing (nor homicide for that matter). If you really must know, I think suicide is strictly for cowards, especially if you are considering this as an option beyond your teen years…because, sure, as a high school kid, you've probably hit some new, seemingly infinite pain in your growth (mentally/emotionally, and yes, physically) which might have led you to think up some dumb, extreme stuff…but as an adult, you're simply just a weak dickhead. So instead of putting that God-U to your domepiece, watch some dope videos that do the task for you (or at least flash 'nuff biscuits to appease one's appetite for this type of (now) rare, visual delicacy). This is also an ode to how things used to be, raw. Before you could log on to some Internet website, when things weren't as heavily policed on daytime music television. Where MTV was the only channel scared of the backlash to the point of blurring out the 40-Oz. bottles, blunts/drugs, and of course, gun play. This meant that you could go to Video Music Box, The Box, assorted public access TV shows, and even BET for the less-censored versions of these edgy videos. Ironically, I'm utilizing the Internet to illustrate this point of past visual delights. |

Last week, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals held that lenders in syndicated credit facilities do not have standing to enforce the funding commitment that other lenders owe to the borrower in the absence of specific contractual provisions. In a case that emerged from the failed Fontainebleau resort and casino project in Las Vegas, the Eleventh Circuit affirmed decisions denying summary judgment to Fontainebleau and dismissing claims brought by a group of term lenders against revolving lenders for lack of standing under Article III of the United States Constitution.
Fontainebleau was the borrower under a June 2007 Credit Agreement, which provided three separate facilities: an initial term loan, a delay draw term loan and a revolving credit facility. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the revolving lenders were not obligated to advance funds in excess of $150 million unless the entire amount of the delay draw term loan had been "fully drawn." On March 2, 2009, Fontainebleau submitted a borrowing notice to the administrative agent, requesting over $1 billion simultaneously from the delay draw term loan and the revolver. The administrative agent, citing the provision in the Credit Agreement that full funding under the revolver was not available until after the delay draw term loan had been "fully drawn," rejected Fontainebleau's borrowing notice. On March 9, 2009, Fontainebleau issued another borrowing notice, requesting only funds from the delay draw term loan, which the term lenders funded.

The September 10, 2008 Punjab Assembly resolution expelling the former Chief Minister and Congress leader, Capt. Amarinder Singh, for his purported executive action during the term of the previous House is constitutionally invalid, the Supreme Court held on Monday. It allowed his appeal and restored his membership.
A Constitution Bench of Chief Justice K.G. Balakrishnan and Justices R.V. Raveendran, P. Sathasivam, J.M. Panchal and R.M. Lodha quashed the resolution expelling Capt. Amarinder Singh for the remainder of the 13th Vidhan Sabha.
Graft charge
The former Chief Minister was accused of graft and violating rules in exempting 32.10 acres, granted to the Amritsar Improvement Trust, a private promoter, from the scheme of land acquisition. A special committee of the Assembly, which investigated the matter, held Capt. Singh guilty, and he was expelled.
Writing the judgment, the CJI said if there was any irregularity committed by the appellant and the petitioners in the exemption of land, the government ought to have moved the criminal law machinery with the filling of a complaint, followed by investigation as contemplated under the Criminal Procedure Code.
The Bench said: "It is our considered view that the Vidhan Sabha exceeded its powers by expelling the appellant on the ground of a breach of privilege when there existed none. The alleged improper exemption of land was an executive act attributable to the appellant and it did not distort, obstruct or threaten the integrity of legislative proceedings in any manner. Hence the exercise of legislative privileges under Article 194 (3) was not proper in the present case."
The alleged improper exemption of land was made during the term of the 12th Vidhan Sabha, whereas the special committee to inquire into the matter was constituted during the 13th Assembly.
"It was not proper for the Assembly to inquire into actions that took place during its previous term, especially when there was no relatable business that had lapsed from the previous term. If we were to permit the legislature to exercise privileges for acting against members for their executive acts during previous terms, the courts are likely to be flooded with cases involving political rivalries."
The Bench said: "One can conceive that whenever there is a change of regime, the fresh incumbents would readily fall back on the device of legislative privileges to expel their political opponents as well as dissidents. Such a scenario would frustrate some of the basic objectives of a parliamentary democracy."
Subject of court case
When it was well known that the alleged improper exemption of land was a subject matter in the proceedings instituted before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, the Vidhan Sabha should have refrained from dealing with it.
The Bench, while quashing the resolution, made it clear that nothing in this judgment should act as a hurdle to the investigation, if any, into the alleged role of the appellant and other petitioners in the improper exemption of land. The law would have to take its course.

Cataclysm Engineering Leveling Guide (425-525)
I planned for the worst, but luckily many of the blue items made by Engineers are granting multiple skill points. This helps quite a bit with the leveling process. There are a few spots where I was hoping to use an easier recipe, most notably the Goblin Barbecue. Unfortunately that recipe was green to me as soon as I trained it, which kind of bummed me out. The Heat-Treated Spinning Lure was yellow when I trained it, but I decided to include it anyway because the scope uses more difficult materials.
I also made a nice discovery - literally! The self-enhancement recipes that were removed from the trainers are now discovery items. I learned seven of the eight missing recipes while leveling up. It appears to be totally random, but occasionally you'll learn one of these while crafting something else.
I leveled Engineering on one of my premade characters, so I started at 425 instead of the current cap of 450. This is because my actual engineer is a Gnome, which skews all the difficulty ratings. Feel free to ignore the stuff below 450 if that doesn't apply to you.
Here's my recommended leveling progression for 425-525:
425-445: Handful of Obsidium Bolts (120 obsidium bars)
445-460: Electrified Ether (30 volatile air)
460-470: R19 Threatfinder or Safety Catch Removal Kit (12 obsidium bars + 4 alicite + 12 obsidium bolts or 20 obsidium bars + 20 obsidium bolts)
470-475: High-Powered Bolt Gun (10 obsidium bars + 8 obsidium bolts + 4 electrified ether)
475-490: Elementium Toolbox or Lure Master Tackle Box (60 elementium bars + 12 obsidium bolts or 45 elementium bars + 36 volatile earth)
490-495: Elementium Toolbox (15 elementium bars + 12 volatile earth)
495-510: Finely-Tuned Throat Needler (6 electrified ether + 12 obsidium bars + 15 hardened elementium bars)
510-521: Heat-Treated Spinning Lure (20 obsidium bolts + 80 elementium bars + 20 volatile fire)
521-525: Gnomish X-Ray Scope (2 dream emeralds + 2 hardened elementium bars)
Final Tally for materials used is:
154-174 obsidium bars
30 volatile air
4 alicite (optional)
140-155 elementium bars
12-48 volatile earth
17 hardened elementium bars (170 elementium bars + 68 volatile earth)
20 volatile fire
2 dream emeralds

Hey Kal, a relatively unrelated question for you: are they changing the way we learn glyphs in Cataclysm? In particular, I am worried about the glyphs that used to be learned from the Books: with fewer people going around the lvl 80 zones, the supply for these is going to turn into a trickle, and at the same time we're still going to use those same glyphs....
ReplyDeleteI see no change in the way glyph books function at this point. I've been keeping a stash on me for testing purposes but so far haven't noticed any change. I suspect that for now the book-related glyphs will stay exactly as they are. Eventually scarcity will become a problem and Blizzard may change them to a different source at that point. I doubt they will change them proactively if they haven't done it yet.
ReplyDelete- AnonymousNovember 22, 2010 at 10:17 AM
Can you expect multiple skill ups from building a chopper (goes yellow at 480, green at 485) or can only cata recipes grant multiple points?
ReplyDelete I've seen very little evidence that multiple skill ups have been applied to pre-Cata recipes. I had some orange Leatherworking patterns in my book and none of them had extra skill points.
The only exception to this is Inscription, which was revamped specifically for the glyph changes they made with the ink. All glyphs give 3 skill points because they increased the ink needed to 3 per glyph. That's the only profession I've seen so far with multiple skill points in pre-Cata recipes. And I've leveled them all from 1-300 at this point, so I would have spotted changes if they were there.- AnonymousNovember 22, 2010 at 7:02 PM
What level do you need to max out engineering? I want to try to nab server first, and am wondering if i can do it right from 80.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousNovember 23, 2010 at 3:29 AM
Awesome! And all these recipes you can learn from the trainers in org i am guessing? And you bought the mats yourself?
ReplyDelete That's right, all of these recipes are available from the regular trainers once Cataclysm launches. I didn't get a chance to visit all the trainers in Orgrimmar, but I visited enough to confirm that they were offering the new recipes.
I didn't purchase most of my materials, I had to farm the bulk of it. If you're going for a Realm First, it's very likely you'll have to collect your own materials. Most players are not focused on farming/selling on the first day of a new expansion.- AnonymousNovember 28, 2010 at 6:23 PM
Is it possible to actually equip the new engineer goggles at 81? Or do you have to wait until you have access to the phased trainers in TH around 84?
ReplyDelete The recipes for the new googles are on the trainers, so you should be able equip the goggles at level 81. The main hurdle for wearing them will be getting to max Engineering, as they also require 525 skill to equip.
The only engineering items that are in Twilight Highlands are the new gems that engineers are getting. They aren't a crafted item though, just special gems that can only be used by Engineers.- AnonymousNovember 29, 2010 at 7:37 PM
your blog is great! informative and to the point.
I have read in the last few days that the engineering trainer is Zangramarsh. Is this the only engineer trainer till TH?
thanks Anon: Actually, they updated all the profession trainers to include all recipes now, so you do not have to trek to Outland. I'll be updating my lists with the new trainers this week, but you can pretty much visit any Engie trainer to learn the Cata recipes. The only exception to this is specialty recipes, they are still using the old system.

Thanks for the awesome info:) Hopefully this increases my chances for realm first engineer :D!

Hi kal, is there an Eng trainer/forge in twilight highlands and mount hyjal? Going for realm first engineer need answer quick!
ReplyDelete No, the closest trainer you'll be able to find for Hyjal is The Exodar. Near Twilight Highlands the closest Engineering trainer is in Ironforge. If I were you I'd camp in The Exodar, portal to Darnassus and fly to Hyjal. You could also hearth in Everlook and station your toon in the Exodar near the trainer. As soon as Cata goes live you chat up the trainer, hearth to Everlook and start mining it up!
Good Luck!!- AnonymousDecember 7, 2010 at 3:48 AM
For my comment above
Just got realm first engineer. So glad I bumped into the realm first alchemist or I wouldn't of got my last levels. Thx for all your tips =) Hey Kaliope! Thought I'd drop in to say thank you; I also got realm first Illustrious Engineer while using your guide! Took about 8 hours because I had to farm almost everything; my mining alt got over half a level just gathering xD; I still had to buy all the Volatile Airs, a handful of Earths, and the 2 Emeralds but it was a small price to pay for my awesome FoS. ;D
Again, thank you so much! Now to pull up the JC guide and start on that... xD

is there a forge in Twilight Highlands, prefedibly near Dragonmaw? making stuff on the anvil there is great an all but kinda useless without being able to smelt the ore..
ReplyDelete Heh, I submitted a bug report in Beta with the EXACT same comment about Thundermar! They are in dire need of forges in that zones considering how much ore is there. Unfortunately when I checked the other day, I saw no forge at Thundermar. I can only assume there's been no change at other towns either. I don't see a way to look it up either, perhaps someone else knows a master list of forges?

OK.. ive read around there is this ROM called 'JoyOS' and it is available for MDPI/HDPI and can be in english or chinese, and it looks like iOS.. There are alot of guides out there on how to port it, but is it possible on our phone? Port LewaOS and JoyOS to Your Android Phone | xda-developers Also, i know the two major devs around here (Borai + Req) don't like doing dirty ports, but is this possible to do on our phone???
I think its cm7 based like miui gb. If you guys want I can try to port it. Roms like this dont have source so a "dirty port" is the only way to get it to work. I think it would be easy to port.
haha yeah ive been working on lewaOS for a while now, i made the thread a while back but I've just been debugging and trying to make the build a little more stable. it boots and has some FC's and bugs but for the most part runs really smooth like miui. I havent really looked into joyOS but if its as easy as leewa then you could have it booting in less than a day..

Disney Parks unveiled a 25-foot-tall, 45,000-pound castle made of ice as the sun rose over Times Square October 17, 2012 in New York City. The icy structure was unveiled during the Disney Parks announcement of 'Limited Time Magic' that will take place throughout 2013 at Disneyland Resort in California and Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. Next year, each week at the Disney theme parks will be highlighted by a different surprise or guest enhancement for a one-week-only engagement. Each weekly surprise, many never-before-seen in the Disney Parks, will include entertainment, dining, character experiences and more. Each one will disappear after seven days and make way for the next week's Limited Time Magic experience. The ice castle in Times Square -- which took more than 12 hours to construct and craft -- demonstrates the short-lived nature of Disney's Limited Time Magic.

How is a line anchored by Jake Long and Mike Pouncy so different from Glenn and Saturday??? Talent wise both Long and Pouncy blow Glenn and Saturday out of the water. Our guards were solid. Columbo was the only real weakness. And at least our oline is more balanced than the colts who can only pass protect. When was the last time Manning had a franchise left tackle? 2006. Quit mentioning Glenn and James. They haven't been there in ages. Bush is every bit as talented as what Edgerin James was and Joseph Addai is. The only real difference is at WR and TE. Manning did make Austin Collie look like an all pro while he was healthy. Most would say that Collie isn't exactly the most "gifted" Who was Brandon Stokely before he was a colt? Again, just based off of what the colts did this year I think it is fairly safe to say that Manning made most of those amazing offensive players in Indy. Who is to say that Brian Hartline couldn't step up and be a very solid contributor if he had Manning throwing to him?
Manning lead those teams and the facts remain that they are a playoff team with him and one of the worst without him. Case and point this year without Manning compared to every other year they have had Manning. Like I have posted before, the 2009 Colts team almost went undefeated and played in the Super Bowl. What core players that were there in 2009 are not there in 2011?
How are you so certain that Matt Flynn is going to come in and take us to the promise land? As I have posted before from a failure stand point, if Flynn fails you are stuck with him and his money. If Manning fails you can cut him quickly and just move on.

How should we read the Crusades? The question begs a host of others, not least how do we read them, in the light of how we have read them in the past.
The aim of Roderick McLean's book is to assert the continuing importance of monarchs in European politics in the decades immediately before 1914.
To contemporary observers looking back, official French attitudes towards immigrants and resident foreigners at times appear more than a little ambiguous. While officially espousing a rhetoric of 'inclusiveness', selection and stereotype have nonetheless been common.
John Charmley is, of course, no stranger to controversy.... How tempting it would be to begin a review of his latest book in this vein.
Two anti-Trinitarians shared the distinction in 1612 of being the last persons to be burned for heresy in England. The execution of Oliver Plunkett in 1681 was the last martyrdom of a Catholic on English soil. A Scottish student hanged for blasphemy in 1697 was the last person in the British Isles to be executed for his religious views.
Even the most self-pitying modern man, besieged on all sides by the forces emasculation and objectification (at least if he believes our Sunday newspapers), must think themselves lucky not to be forced to practise the difficult art of eighteenth-century manliness.
The chapters in this collection were originally given as papers at a conference at the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies at the Harvard University in 1997, sponsored jointly by the North American Conference on British Studies and the Royal Historical Society.
In Madness, Cannabis and Colonialism, James H. Mills examines the lunatic asylums of colonial India, between the war of 1857 and the end of the nineteenth century. Throughout this period, the total number of mental patients in the country did not exceed five thousand at any given time.
Worshippers at the main dominical services of the Church of England have, with greater or lesser frequency according to usage, custom, or personal inclination from 1549, and until the revision of the prayer book in 1980, publicly and collectively asserted their belief in 'The Resurrection of the body and the life everlasting'.

My dad gave me his old S&W Victory Model .38 cal that he's had since the 50's. It's been neglected locked in his safe for years. Was looking for something to do today so I decided to re-blue it today using the Birchwood Casey kit. Came out pretty good. Looks better in person that in the pictures. Before and after.
Sorry guys, title should read Cold Blue

Title: | Experimental Line Parameters of the Oxygen A-Band Using Frequency-Stabilized Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy |
Published: | January 01, 2008 |
Abstract: | Line intensities, self- and air-broadened linewidths, pressure-induced shifts, and collisional narrowing coefficients were measured from 18 <= J' <= 32 in the P branch of the O2 A-band (12,975 13,055 cm^(-1)). Spectra were recorded using the frequency-stabilized cavity ring-down spectrometer located at NIST, Gaithersburg, MD with a spectral resolution < 0.0001 cm^(-1) and noise-equivalent absorption coefficient of 6 10^(-10) cm^(-1) Hz^(-1/2). The line intensities determined in the present work are ~1% lower than the values in current spectroscopic databases. However, we measure broadening coefficients that are up to 20% lower than the extrapolated values given in HITRAN 2004. We discuss the implications of our results for accurate remote sensing of surface pressure and photon pathlength distributions. |

Georgia plotting ways to slow down Clowney
South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney caught a bit of flack for his showing against North Carolina in the season opener, with some observers suggesting he was "taking plays off" and others citing a perceived lack of conditioning as a reason for his subpar performance.
