- What is typology? - a short note (2001)
- It is often assumed that the goal of typology is to define the notion 'possible human language'. This view, which I call the Universalist Typology view is shared, for example, by virtually all contributors to Bynon & Shibatani's 1995 volume Approaches to Language Typology, and by Moravscik in her review of this volume in Linguistic Typology 1 (p.105). In the following I claim that this assumption is fundamentally mistaken. To clarify the theoretical status of what is meant by 'possible human language', I argue here for a distinction between typological theory (theoretical typology) and grammatical theory (theoretical syntax and theoretical morphology) as distinct subdisciplines of linguistics.
- Verb agreement and epistemic marking : a typological journey from the Himalayas to the Caucasus (2008)
- Studies of the epistemic categories expressed in Tibetan auxiliaries and copulas have mostly compared the phenomena with mirativity marking, and this is no doubt the correct comparandum in diachronic research. However, synchronic descriptions are also often tempted to compare the relevant categories with agreement systems or similar reference-related structures, at least for expository purposes when explaining how the system works (e. g. Denwood 1999, Tournadre 1996, Goldstein et al. 1991).
- Space, territory, and a stupa in Eastern Nepal: exploring Himalayan themes and traces of Bon (2000)
- Recent research has adduced growing evidence for a distinct stratum of cultural practices that underlies various "tribal" traditions in the Himalayan region and that also seems to be characteristic of various local versions of the Bon tradition. Bon literature is not uncommonly embedded in cultural patterns that are more specifically Himalayan than belonging to the greater South Asian heritage. Two aspects of this that have received attention in Ramble's (1997) study of a Bon guide to the sacred Kong-po mountain (rKong-po bon- ri) are the symbolism of wild boar hunting involved in marriage rituals and poison cults with their corresponding beliefs about poisoning. Another pattern of cultoral organization that may help better understand the Bon tradition against its Himalayan background is spatial conceptualization.
- Rhythm and feet in Belhare morphology (1998)
- In Belhare (Sino-Tibetan, Nepal), consonant prothesis at morpheme boundaries and deletion of stem "augments" is found if either metrical or morphological parsing would violate the bimoraic trochee pattern that underlies the stress system of the language. This finding corroborates Dresher & Lahiri's (1991) "Principle of Metrical Coherence" and provides new evidence for the cross-linguistic applicability of Crowhurst's (1994) "Tautomorphemic Foot" constraint. The data also support a view of the Prosodic Hierarchy as weakly layered, allowing consonants to be directly dominated by the foot or word node if they are prothetic and do not therefore need feature licensing within the syllable canon.
- Relatives à antécédent interne, nominalisation et focalisation : entre syntaxe et morphologie en bélharien (1995)
- Par contraste avec le construction prénominales, la relative nominalisée à antécédent interne n'est attestée dans la région himalayenne qu'en tibétain.
- Prosodic tautomorphemicity in Sino-Tibetan (2003)
- Sino-Tibetan is a prime example of how strongly a language family can typologically diversify under the pressure of areal spread features (Matisoff 1991, 1999). One of the manifestation of this is the average length of prosodic words. In Southeast Asia, prosodic words tend to average on one or one-and-a-half syllables. In the Himalayas, by contrast, it is not uncommon to encounter prosodic words containing five to ten syllables. The following pair of examples illustrates this.
- Principles of event framing : genetic stability in grammar and discourse (1999)
- Ever since Wilhelm von Humboldt's (1836) pioneering study of Nahuatl, linguists have recurrently recognized that languages differ fundamentally in the syntactic weight they attribute to noun-phrases as the arguments of a verb. Currently, the most prominent attempts to turn this intuition into a precise hypothesis revolve around the notion of 'configurationality'.
- On the scope of the referential hierarchy in the typology of grammatical relations (2008)
- In the late seventies, Bernard Comrie was one of the first linguists to explore the effects of the referential hierarchy (RH) on the distribution of grammatical relations (GRs). The referential hierarchy is also known in the literature as the animacy, empathy or indexibability hierarchy and ranks speech act participants (i.e. first and second person) above third persons, animates above inanimates, or more topical referents above less topical referents. Depending on the language, the hierarchy is sometimes extended by analogy to rankings of possessors above possessees, singulars above plurals, or other notions. In his 1981 textbook, Comrie analyzed RH effects as explaining (a) differential case (or adposition) marking of transitive subject ("A") noun phrases in low RH positions (e.g. inanimate or third person) and of object ("P") noun phrases in high RH positions (e.g. animate or first or second person), and (b) hierarchical verb agreement coupled with a direct vs. inverse distinction, as in Algonquian (Comrie 1981: Chapter 6).
- Nominalization and focus constructions in some Kiranti languages (2006)
- It is well-known that in many if not most Sino-Tibetan languages relative clause and attribute/genitive markers are identical with nominalization devices and that sentences bearing such markers can also function as independent utterances (cf. Matisoff 1972, Kölver 1977, DeLancey 1989, Genetti 1992, Ebert 1994, Bickel 1995, Noonan 1997, etc.). This morphological convergence of syntactic functions, which we may dub the 'Standard Sino-Tibetan Nominalization' (SSTN) pattern, is particularly prominent in some languages spoken in the eastern and southeastern part of the Kirant because these languages not only feature prenominal relative clauses, but also allow, albeit as a minor type, internally headed constructions.

DC with Kids after Xmas
I will be visiting DC with my wife and my 8 and 10yo kids next week. Ive been to DC on business many times but this is their first trip. Staying at Holiday Inn next to National Mall by Enfant Station. Definitely hitting Jaleo while in town but looking for other interesting places while there. Wanna try ethiopian and maybe another ethnic restaurant while there. Any suggestions?.
Go for Etete, near the U St/Cardozo Metro Station. Get the fastening food platter (vegetarian). You can add a fried fish for just 2 bucks and get the derek tibs.
Definitely give Ethiopian a try. The kids will find it a lot of fun...especially because they are encouraged to eat with their hands. My favorite Ethiopian restaurant is Etete. It's delicious---and quite affordable. I'm not a vegetarian but I always order the veggie platter.
I haven't tried it yet but my friends all love Mandu for Korean. (I really need to check it out soon because I've been obsessed with Korean food lately and have mostly been getting it from the local food trucks). Not ethnic but perhaps you would like to try some Southern style food if you are not from the South. Art and Soul is good (and kid friendly). I also hear good things about the much more casual Ooos and Aahs.

The Dream & Christina's Wedding Photo, Plus Kelis Still Taking Nas to the Bank
The Dream and Milian has opened up to US Weekly about their nuptials. The two were married in a $300 dollar wedding in Vegas this past September, then jetted off to Rome for a second set of vows in front of three close friends. Christina wore a Monique Ihuillier gown and The Dream presented her with a ring he designed with Ivanka Trump….And they aren't done yet. The two are planning a huge wedding next year after Christina Milian delivers her first child in February.
Via Dream:
those are Tom Ford Riding boots so if they are stockings I paid 5k for them and I wore them because no one else have!
Meanwhile, one of my favorite hip hop couple's Nas and Kelis had a court date yesterday to sort out their child support issues. I was under the impression that Nas would get his child and spousal support drastically lowered from the 55k a month Kelis was temporarily awarded earlier this year, but that was not the case. Nas was ordered to pay $40,454 to Kelis in spousal support and $10,647 in child support as well as Kelis's attorney fees which will cost him $46,022. Does Nas have money like that?
According to Kelis, Nas has ALOT of money and she told the judge he is expected to drop two albums next year. She also claims that she is having difficult earning money with a new kid and not alot of job options. She admits the two tried to reconcile in September but it just didn't work out.
Started talking this divorcin' sh*t, I gave her my half rib, half my crib, half my cake, Half my car, half my kids? Can't get that -Nas (K-I-S-S-I-N-G)
I mean seriously, I'm all out of the "cheaper to keep her" comments. I have nothing. To bad it didn't work out…

Kalpavriksha (Devanagari: कल्पवृक्ष), also known as kalpataru, kalpadruma or kalpapādapa, is a wish-fulfilling divine tree in Hindu mythology. It was mentioned in Sanskrit literature from the earliest sources onwards.[citation needed] Sage Durvasa meditated under the Kalpavriksha. Shiva's daughter Ashok Sundari was created from Kalpavriksha tree by Devi Parvati, to alleviate her loneliness.
The kalpavriksha originated during the Samudra manthan or "churning of the ocean of milk" along with the kamadhenu, the divine cow providing for all needs. The king of the gods, Indra, returned with this tree to his paradise.
A kalpavriksha is mentioned in the Sanskrit work Mānāsara as a royal emblem. In Hemādri's work Caturvargacīntama, the kalpavriksha is said to be a tree of gold and precious stones.[1]
Identification with other trees[edit]
Other trees are also referred to as the Kalpavriksha.
- At Mangaliyawas near Ajmer, Rajasthan, two revered trees (Male and Female) are more than 800 years old. Known as kalpavrikshas, they are worshipped on an Amavasya day in the Hindu month of Shravan.
- There is a kalpavriksha trees (Male and Female) which are more than 1000 years old in Banswara District of Rajasthan.
- There is a famous and very old Klipvriksha tree at Bilara Dist Jodhpur.
- According to the Padma Purana, a unique baobab near Barabanki is the Parijaat tree, Kintoor.
- At Jyotirmath, Badrinath in Uttarakhand, renowned as the residence of Adiguru Shankaracharya, there is a large, ancient mulberry tree known locally as the kalpavriksha. This tree is a Morus tree, or mulberry. Its unique property is that it never loses a single leaf by itself and is evergreen.
- The Banyan tree has been referred to as the kalpavriksha.
- In certain parts of India, especially coastal areas, the coconut tree is referred to as kalpavriksha or kalpataru because of its ability to amply provide for human needs.

One Hour Down, 999 to Go: T.I. Does Community Service in St. Louis
Categories: This Just In
Generally, when a convicted felon is caught with a firearm, the minimum sentence is four years
and nine months of hard time. Thanks to some astounding work from his attorney, T.I., a felon who pleaded guilty to purchasing machine guns and silencers, faces just one year and one day in prison, plus 1,000 hours of community service.
The only catch is that T.I. must complete all of the community service before he starts serving his time next month. Since he's currently in the midst of a nationwide tour in support of his album, that timeline stands to be somewhat of a challenge. After all, he can't just pull over the tour bus anywhere he pleases, put on an orange vest and pick up some litter.
As he's done in other cities, the King of the South made a trip to Compton-Drew ILC Middle School in St. Louis a few hours before he took the stage last Thursday with Ludacris at Chaifetz Arena (click here for Kristy Wendt's review of the show), to "talk about the importance of staying in school."
Here's the some of the official account of the appearance from the St. Louis Public Schools' press office.
"T.I. began the presentation by asking students "who want to get paid" to raise their hands." and building upon the idea that "education separates those who have versus those that wish." He wanted students to understand that nothing in life is free, and "if you want more than someone else then you have to work harder than them."
"Who want to get paid?" You gotta give the guy credit, he knows how to grab a poor twelve year-old's attention.
Press release continues after the jump.
T.I. also talked about sacrifice and how even though he hated getting up at 5:30a.m. to put on roller skates he did so anyways because that is how he landed his movie role. Illustrating the point that "sacrifice means giving up something you like to accomplish something you like more."
It was an inspirational performance, and as T.I. concluded to a round of applause and ovation he stressed to students that "education is the most valuable thing that you can accomplish in life. It will last longer than anything you can possess."

I would totally love an iPhone with 48 hour battery and couple it with a Mophie Juice Pack Air and give it another 12 hours, that would be awesome.
Sent from the iMore App
Our friends over at Android Central have been up in New York City today as Verizon has unveiled the Droid MAXX, a new Android phone from Motorola with a claimed 48-hour battery life. Remarkably, the MAXX isn't as thick as you might expect it to be, though it's got added girth to another new phone, the Droid Ultra. So, thickness or not, would you want to buy an iPhone with a 48-hour battery life?
Apple puts a huge amount of time and resource into the design of the iPhone, and frankly what they squeezed into such a sleek package is still a remarkable feat of engineering. A huge battery stuffed in the back would inevitably increase the overall device thickness, but thickness would also give more space to add in more cool hardware like a better camera. Lenses like depth, so more thickness would provide extra space for optics, and we would get a better camera. Apple's obsession with thinness hampers both of these things; there's only so much physically you can fit into such a small package. But is this obsession hampering the possibility for features their customers crave?
Honestly, having been a full-time Android user in the past, I'm still pretty impressed with the iPhone 5 battery life. It's not 48-hours by any stretch of the imagination, but it gets me through the day usually without looking for a charger. I do know though that there's a lot of folk out there who literally tear their hair out looking for a charger by lunchtime. So, what do you think? 48-hour battery life sound good, or are you more attached to your sleek and thin iPhone? Drop your vote up top and your thoughts in the comments below!

I think its about time apple seriously considers the battery and screen size issues. I am really a big fan of big screens and better battery life. There are a lot of friends of mine who shifted from iphone to android platforms because of some of these issues. I am still sticking here for apple to come up with something.
I agree. My biggest iPhone peeves in order are screen size, battery life, and the phone being too thin. I have big hands and I honestly have trouble holding my iPhone 5 without a case whereas my 4s felt just right. I know that thickness doesn't bother most people but screen size and battery life have become issues for the iPhone considering all of the screen size options and battery performance that android is now offering.
I don't understand... I get pretty darn close to 48 hours battery life with my iPhone 5. I'm not on my phone all day long playing games and such, but I do use Mailbox pretty darn regularly to deal with my emails and do app updates and a few other apps.
That said, Apple could make the iPhone 5S a little thicker and put a beefer battery in it. If you think about it. Apple can't make the iPhone or iPod touch any thinner without changing the way headphones get plugged into the device. So making it a little thicker wouldn't bother me at all. They did it with the iPad (due to the Retina screen and battery to support it), a millimeter or two wouldn't kill the design of the phone. Plus a little extra weight also wouldn't be a huge problem.
Also, a bigger screen would give them a larger area for the battery. Granted, the screen would need some of that juice, but I suspect not all of it.
The iPhone is getting way too thin. The only reason I use a case is because it fits better in my hand. Give me a bigger iPhone with more juice!
Please god whatever it takes...for a bigger screen!
I want an iPhone with a slightly larger/ wider screen. This would also allow a larger battery. I am not a heavy user. I am around USB ports all day,I get over a day and a half on my current phone, so I don't care if they make the battery last longer. I don't want a battery that makes the phone too big.
Anything beyond 24 hours battery life is just stupid. If you seriously can't be bothered to plug it in once in an entire two day period, you are too much of an idiot to deserve a phone in the first place.
Personally, I don't know anyone at all that has any problem with the iPhone battery life as it is now, other than an idiot nephew who plays illegal movies on it 24/7.
youre probably happy with whatever apple gives you, if the battery would last 5 hours you probably wouldnt complain. It is people (idiots) like you that apple makes the same thing every year with minor updates.
Not wanting more battery life is just plain dumb, even if youre near a usb to charge it is always better to have more time before you have to do it.
Yesterday my day went long, i was eating at a restaurant at 11 pm with 9 percent of battery left, i live in a dangerous city in mexico, having my phone with me all the time is a must, more battery life is always better no matter what period.
i charge me phone every night, i Had the 4s, 5 and now the note 2 with an extended battery. I may not need the day and a half battery life the phone gives me, but its nice to know if theres a power outage or a random scenery photo shoot occurs that i wont be dead in an hour.
so 48 hour overkill on everyday use? maybe, but piece of mind knowing 2 hours of photo taking wont immediately drain my phone is awesome.
If it meant a larger screen, then sure a larger battery. As it is now I get a day's use from my iPhone 5 so it's cool. Not sure why one would need 48 hours without a charge?
I'm sure 48 hours is moderate usage. I don't have moderate usage. I drain my Z10 twice a day, the same when I had an iPhone. For someone like me it would just mean not having to worry about battery for the entire day.

A 24/48 hour battery does not sound practical at all.
Imagine you unplug your phone at 6:00 am. in the morning on day One. For a 24-hour battery by the time you get home at around 11 pm. (many of us do) the battery would be at around 70%. Who on Earth would want to leave their phone unplugged at night so that it lasts its full 100% until 6 am. the next morning? So in a practical every day situation a 24-hour battery charge would leave around 30% of the power unused every night. Every single night. This is bad design. The same goes for a 48 hour long battery.
Right now in practice a phone is designed to last one day. You wake up, unplug, go out, come home at night and plug it again before you go to sleep. This is less than 24 hours. Possibly 17 - 18 (max) for most people. In reality most phones struggle with that but the idea is clear - to last one day. Less is not good, a few hours more are unnecessary.
Imagine your phone can last two days. So every other night you need to recharge. This is better but I am pretty sure most of us would still plug the phone every single night "just in case" as you never know how big a part of the second day the phone would last. Again - we are left with unnecessary charge remaining. We would all probably go to bed with a 40% battery left but always plug the phone. So why the extra size?
Image a phone that would last for three days. Now there is when I see a practical advantage for the first time. You'll probably finish day One with 70% left. Day Two - maybe 35%. You'd feel inclined to challenge day Three and you'd probably succeed. After three days the cycle is over and you can charge you phone again the following night. Bliss.
I am pretty convinced (but open for suggestions nonetheless) that he next step from a 12-hour battery cycle should be at least a three-day one. This is roughly 65 hours (two complete day-night cycles and one extra day, without the third night). Anything less than that might seem attractive in theory but I question its practical application. Charging your phone is a delicate routine that tends to be automatized. It follows your daily routine and needs to go with it, not be a routine on its own. It is hard to handle one more ticking clock in your life - both social and biological. Battery life should tune with your existing clocks - work, sleep, etc. A 24 hour or 48 hour cycle is not an optimized solution for battery life. I think phones should first master the 17-18 hour barrier of an active person's day and then try to go straight to 65. Less than that wouldn't be completely practical.
Please let me know if you have an opinion on this particular idea of mine.
"Who on Earth would want to leave their phone unplugged at night..."
well i never plugged my iphone in bed time, for the sake of energy efficient, battery health and safety., i plug it when i woke up, about 2 hours before i go to work, so i have a full 100% battery to start my day without overcharging it, and usually it last full day, until time for me to go to bed,(around 20-22hrs) battery at around 15-25%..
i use my phone for daily mail, medium use social media, medium use game, and light use of normal phone stuff (phone, text)
As long as screen size stays the same or only slightly increases. Thicker, thinner, whatever... Just don't change screen size much! I used a friends galaxy s3 the other day, damn thing felt rediculous and was nearly impossible to hold so that it was comfortable and functional at the same time! iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 fits my hands and pocket just fine, with a very little bit of room to grow.

She's probably not used to hearing 'no' very often, but Kate Upton actually failed to convince boyfriend Justin Verlander to get her a puppy.
The gorgeous blonde supermodel tweeted a photo with an adorable black and white pooch along with the caption, "Pleaseeeee @justinverlander."
Ever since she appeared on the modeling scene Kate Upton has been making waves, and in her Elle UK cover story, the buxom blonde reveals her farming past.
The curvy Sports Illustrated Swimsuit stunner explains, "It made me very goal-oriented and focused. I'm not opposed to a hard day's work for a good outcome."
Connecting with industry peers, Kate Upton hosted the launch of her new Express modeling campaign at the Express store in Times Square, New York City today (July 8).
Joined by Teen Vogue editor-in-chief Amy Astley, the buxom blonde smiled for the cameras in a black and white top with jeans.
Stepping out for some girl bonding and plenty of shopping, Kate Upton and Lily Aldridge showed up in SoHo, NYC on Thursday (July 3).
The picture perfect pair garnered plenty of attention as they strolled through the trendy neighborhood and stopped in to several stores before moving on to TriBeCa.
Fire up the grill and crack open a cold one because it's time to cut loose and celebrate the land of the free on the Fourth of July!
And in honor of the Independence Day holiday, we've collected 20 beautiful bikini beauties who take full advantage of the freedom to be sexy.
At 22 years old, supermodel hottie Kate Upton is in the prime of life so naturally the media can't seem to get enough of her.
The "Other Woman" star told British Vogue she's managed to avoid getting all riled up about the various erroneous stories written about her supposed weekly romances by just ignoring all of it.
Reminding everyone just how gorgeous she is, Kate Upton shared a snapshot of herself via Instagram on Monday night (June 30).
In the photograph, the "Other Woman" actress is positioned in bed, with no top, underneath a single white sheet.
Proving her beauty is diverse, Kate Upton posed in a brand new ad campaign for Bobbi Brown cosmetics rocking very different looks.
The Sports Illustrated stunner dons a striking red lip in the first ad, adding a simple lined eye. In the second look, Kate keeps it natural with a bronzed glow and neutral eyes and lips.

Diagnosed with Cancer at Age 23
It is October of 2010. I am getting ready to graduate from Arizona State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting. Even more exciting for me, I am elected to be part of the Homecoming Court for my outstanding involvement and dedication to our university and local community and for my exemplary character. To top off an incredible month, I received a job offer from one of the four big accounting firms. Everything was great. I never thought my life would take such a turn.
A year later, I am finishing a Masters degree in taxation and working part time at the accounting firm when I feel pain in my left ankle. I visit several doctors who tell me the pain came from running and/or working out. Then, on April 26, 2012, my life changed. I received a diagnosis of Ewings Sarcoma, a type of bone cancer. Instead of tendonitis from running, the pain I felt was a cancerous tumor in my left ankle that had spread to various parts of my body.
At the time of my diagnosis, a student a month away from graduation, I was uninsured. For a while I feared the worst. I pictured myself dying at home, because I didn't have the money to afford the very expensive treatment I needed. At this moment in my young life, I felt true desperation. I wanted to live and continue to give back to my community, which always made me happy, but I didn't even know what to do to take care of my health and survive.
It was a blessing when I found out about the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan, or PCIP through the Affordable Care Act because it was an answer to my prayers and desperation. PCIP is a program designed to provide affordable health coverage for people like me who were otherwise locked out of the private insurance system. It also serves as a bridge to 2014, when insurance companies are prohibited from refusing to sell coverage based on someone's pre-existing condition.
Shortly after I learned about this special plan and gained health insurance, I began my chemotherapy treatments. Now, it's been a little over a year since my diagnosis. I'm still here and still fighting for my life. I hope to soon be in full recovery, to return to the person I love to be, one that gets great satisfaction from helping others.
The Affordable Care Act and the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance program help me access medical coverage when I need it. So I don't have to worry if I have an injury, or an illness, or an accident, that my finances won't be turned upside down by health care costs.

Berkeley County taxpayers will not be hit in the wallet to fund a proposed 3 percent pay raise for employees.
The $56.4 million budget presented by Supervisor Dan Davis Tuesday did not include a tax increase, and Davis said he cut in other areas to afford the additional pay.
"I just felt like we had to do that this year," he said.
Employees took on additional duties when the county downsized, but they have not had raises since a 1.5 percent increase in July 2010. They were given one-time payouts in December 2011 and 2012.
The budget does not include several items that council members have at times discussed, such as money for reopening the satellite office in Goose Creek or, for the second year, a payment toward the county's $7.5 million commitment to Trident Technical College's Nursing and Science Building. Davis has questioned whether council promised to help fund the building.
In addition, the budget does not include any new employees for the Hill-Finklea Detention Center. On May 13, Sheriff Wayne DeWitt asked council to consider adding 14 correctional officers at the overcrowded center, in order to open the unoccupied second floor.
"In this budget, there are no folks for the detention center," Davis said. "That request was made of council and so that will probably be discussed at a workshop."
The council will have workshops before final approval of the budget, which starts July 1.

Picking up on the Eugene Peterson post from yesterday I noticed another brilliant response from Peterson about the difficulties of working on a paraphrase translation:
What are the challenges of translating Scripture into the language of the street?
It's very different than trying to give a literal translation. With a conventional translation you're trying to be as close to the original culture and grammar and Greek syntax and Hebrew syntax as you can be, and invite the reader to enter that world and understand it in those terms. When you're doing a paraphrase translation like I've done, the demand is not on your demonstrating that world, although you kind of do that, but there's more of an imagination and a poetic aspect to it, because you're trying to recreate those rhythms or those images and metaphors in this culture. I don't think I could have done this if I wasn't a pastor.
What advice would you give to anyone who attempts a paraphrase?
It's interesting that my two most well-known predecessors, J. B. Phillips and Ken Taylor, had the same context to work in as I had. Phillips was a pastor, and Taylor was a father and a layperson. Phillips did his first thing for a youth group, and Taylor did his for his children. I think if there's any counsel for this kind of translation work, you just have to be immersed in the everyday. You don't go off to an ivory tower someplace and surround yourself with dictionaries and grammars. Although you've got to know those things, those are a presupposition; that's not the world you immerse yourself in.
I also found it interesting that in the article Peterson speaks of his longtime habit of reading the Bible in its original languages. Reading this made me reflect on my desire to do this but I feel it is now the wrong season of my life to put aside the large amount of time required to master the languages (It would mean halting my masters and giving up blogging). I also wonder if I have the ability to be honest. I am good at certain things but rote memorisation is not one of them! Anyway, do we need more people on translation committees who are Pastors? It seems to me that I am often impressed when i read of certain scholars working on a translation but should I be concerned that so few pastors make the grade or are ever asked?

Arrowmont Instructor Exhibition blends the traditional and the cutting-edge
Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts is steeped in tradition. It also is rooted in the here and now.
"If you're interested in traditional woodturning, you can learn how to do that here," said Stefanie Gerber Darr, the school's gallery manager. "Or you can take a class that really pushes the limits of what furniture can be."
Visitors can get a sense of the school's range starting Saturday, May 17, when the annual Arrowmont Instructor Exhibition opens. It runs through Aug. 16 in the Sandra J. Blain Galleries.
The exhibition features works in media including glass, wood, fiber and painting. "In almost every media on display," Darr said, "there's a great juxtaposition between traditional processes and more cutting-edge, alternative processes."
There is quilting, for example, "that's really pushing the boundaries of traditional crafts," Darr said.
At Arrowmont, 150 instructors teach classes in various craft traditions, from metals and enamels to pen making and stonecarving. Workshops start June 1. Among the instructors, 69 submitted work for the show.
"It's a promotional tool," Darr said of the show. "Somebody visiting may not realize we have classes, so they'll go through the gallery, and then come back and take a class. Or teachers use it as a teaching exhibition, to show their students what they do, as well as what other artists do."
Visitor foot traffic to Arrowmont and the gallery is healthy, Darr noted, especially in the summer and fall.
"There are a lot of people who are very surprised, who had no idea we're here," she said. "We're tucked away. And we're such a different experience than what you'd find down on the Parkway, in the midst of the tourist attractions."
In April, Arrowmont reached an $8 million funding goal and purchased the school's property from Pi Beta Phi Fraternity for Women. After a long period of uncertainty, Arrowmont's future is settled.
"It's a very joyous time," Darr said. "When the workshops start, I think there'll be even more joy."

But, here is where I stand thus far. I tried taking leg pics, but that's way too hard by myself. No arm pics because ummm, well they need work, and same thing with abs. I swear to God, after this weekend is over, come monday things are gonna be cracking down.

With official C&C games staggering dazedly around development limbo at the moment, our need for a tasty bit of NOD must instead be sated by the fan community. Renegade-X is a modders' ambitious and apparently impressive attempt to redo EA's ill-fated FPS-RTS spin-off Renegade, and it's been in the works for quite a while now. Last November brought news that a version 1 release would arrive on February 26th; today brings news that a version 1 release will arrive on February 26th. Er. Well, I suppose someone meeting a projected release date, especially in oft-unpredictable modland, is news of a sort. Anyway, it's a handy reminder for your diaries, plus there's an extensive new trailer to look at, showing plenty of in-game shootybangery.

Speed of server
I've noticed over time that my server has slowed down, especially the time it takes to get to different console pages. The NS has the SQl locally on it and I am not a SQL guy by any means. What can I do to help the performance/speed of my server?
Comments 9 Comments • Jump to latest comment
SQL on the same server as the platform is a big red flag. You really should consider moving SQL to its own server if that's an option for your org.
Check to make sure you have a good SQL maitenance plan in place.
Also, here's a Connect article that I wrote a few months ago that contains three things that really helped the performance of our platform:

LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Cal State Northridge men's volleyball concluded its offseason training last weekend (Nov. 22-23) as the Matadors played three matches at the UCLA SAC Tournament.
CSUN opened with a four-set loss to UC Santa Barbara (16-25, 25-22, 25-18, 25-23) on Friday despite a team-high 12 kills from sophomore Sam Holt.
The Matadors then got an early start on Saturday taking on the host Bruins at 9 a.m. According to Head Coach Jeff Campbell, CSUN played some of their best volleyball of the offseason in Saturday's two matches, taking UCLA to five (25-23, 25-22, 19-25, 20-25, 19-21) before defeating USC in five (25-20, 20-25, 25-23, 22-25, 15-12).
"What was nice about the weekend was that we played normal three out of five matches which is a much better evaluation of where we are as a team," said Campbell. "We played hard the entire time and played really well at times. We were right there with UCLA and we good against a very good USC team."
Redshirt freshman Damani Lenore overcame a rough match against UCSB on Friday with a team-high 16 kills against UCLA on Saturday morning. As was the case against the Gauchos, Holt was effective with 15 kills on 33 swings to hit .242. Junior Kyle Stevenson also reached double figures in kills with 10 to go with 13 digs while junior Greg Faulkner added six kills and seven blocks.
In their final match before opening the 2014 season in January, the Matadors outlasted the Trojans behind 21 kills on .419 hitting from redshirt freshman Jakub Ciesla. Holt added 11 kills (.308) while Faulkner chipped in nine kills (.520) and six blocks. Stevenson also contributed eight kills (.400) and eight digs for CSUN which hit a solid .398 as a team.
"We played high level volleyball and it was nice to end on a positive note heading into the break," added Campbell. "Overall I was encouraged and we're getting better and better."
The Matadors will open the 2014 season Jan. 3 at the UCSB Asics Invitational.

Graduate Handbook
Undergraduate Handbook
Alumni Survey
The Consumer, Apparel, and Retail Studies undergraduate program offers three concentrations for majors and minors: Apparel Design, Retailing and Consumer Studies and Global Apparel and Related Industry Studies. These concentrations prepare students for positions with companies that focus on product development, retailing, or marketing strategies in the soft goods chain and textile-related industries.
During the first 2 years of study, students complete the majority of their general education requirements (GEC) and begin introductory consumer, apparel, and retail studies. Because many students frequently change majors early in their academic careers, the majority of CRS courses are offered during the junior and senior years, so students begin in-depth study in their junior year. Apparel design, global apparel and related industry studies and retailing and consumer studies students take supporting course work in the Bryan School of Business and Economics. Retailing and consumer studies students complete sufficient courses (21 hours) to complete a minor in Business. Global apparel and related industry studies students complete sufficient courses for a minor in global studies. Students must, however, submit the necessary forms to apply for these minors.
Internship experiences are completed in a student's junior or senior year. Students prepare for this opportunity by completing a professional development class (CRS 331). Internships are structured and supervised to ensure that students have a quality experience. Because of the proximity to North Carolina's textile and apparel industry, many students remain in North Carolina; however, students complete internships in major metropolitan cities across the US and abroad.
International exposure is built into the total curriculum beginning in the freshman year with a non-western course, CRS 221, "Culture, Human Behavior and Clothing" and continues throughout the program. Short and long term study abroad opportunities are offered and the study of foreign languages is encouraged.

Taylor Swift is an expert at writing melancholy pop; for example, "Dear John" made us want to rise up as a nation against John Mayer. This time, however, Swift has set her song-writing sights on government-sponsored blood sport with "Safe and Sound," her new song for the Hunger Games soundtrack. "Something I've been VERY excited about for a VERY long time is going to be happening VERY soon," Swift tweeted last night, before posting the jam she recorded with The Civil Wars. You can listen to it here. Personally we think it captures the exact combination of hope and despair you'd feel as you sprinted through the woods trying to escape almost certain death and you knew a boy liked you. What do you think of Taylor Swift's addition to the film's soundtrack?

Top 10: Ways To Survive A Chick Flick
Page 1 of 2There are many great things about relationships — seriously, stop laughing. One of them is doing things we actually like, be it dining out, taking a trip or catching a movie. But sometimes, we may have to eat something we would rather spit out, visit some place we would rather not check out, and often times, sit through a movie that makes a root canal seem like a walk in the park.
With that in mind, here are 10 subtle and not-so subtle ways to survive a chick flick.
Number 10Pick the movie
Not all chick flicks are created equally. After all, Jerry Maguire may be considered a chick flick by many, but with its profile on a sports agent, choice of actors and overall storyline, any guy can reasonably survive this one The English Patient , on the other hand, is another story altogether...
Number 9Bide your time
If there is anything more annoying than sitting through a chick flick, it's sitting through a chick flick in a crowded theater. How great: one girl crying behind you, another one sobbing in front, and a third gal laughing hysterically in the back row. A crowded theater not only adds to the misery, but it fails to provide a setting where you can get close and "comfortable." As a result, I suggest you hit the theaters months after a movie has been released. In this case, privacy will allow for a greater time... if you catch my drift.
Number 8Audio/video?
Hey, it's the 21st century after all; so you might as well sneak in a portable radio to catch the game or listen to some tunes, just keep the volume low enough so your girlfriend does not mind (or find out). The usher will understand, your woman will not. If you have the proper equipment, shoot a bootleg while you are at it — it will give her a glimpse into your expert camera shooting and provide for added income.
Number 7Choose according to actors
Similar to picking a movie that one can identify with, you can pick a movie with your favorite actor to soften the blow. Sure, that Nic Cage movie with Penelope Cruz seemed like a pain to sit through (usually anything with Penelope is a pain after all), but if it means sitting through a couple of hours with one of my favorite actors, then it's not a complete waste of time.
Number 6An eye for an eye
If you go see a chick flick, she owes you something: a ballgame, a "macho movie," or any other creative thing you can come up with. Just a little something to let her know that if she imposes her will, then so too will you. Hey, women do it all the time, why can't we?

Vertical modular kitchen goes up, up, and microwave
Not everyone has a giant kitchen to fill with appliances. The Ecooking Station takes a stacked, modular approach to kitchen design.
Kitchen showrooms are full of massive, shiny appliances meant to be strewn liberally about in a large kitchen. Most of the world, though, doesn't have that kind of space to spare for ovens, microwaves, refrigerators, kitchen islands, stovetops, and the like. The Clei Ecooking kitchen minds its manners and limits itself to a very compact space.
The Ecooking station is sleek, modern, and modular. It was created by Italian designer Massimo Facchinetti for Clei, a company specializing in transformable furniture. The company's creations are intended to make the most of small spaces like apartments and lofts.
Instead of spreading his kitchen design out, Facchinetti went up. The modular appliances stack like a bunch of really big Legos. The whole thing can be contained in a shiny rectangular tower, or you can pull out the parts you need when you want them. Need to chop some veggies? Slide out the cutting board. Want to wash that garlic off your fingers? Rotate the sink into place.
The Ecooking kitchen has pretty much everything you need, including a refrigerator, vertical garden, cooktop, and dishwasher.. It even has a solar panel to help power the electrical appliances. An internal water recycling system reuses water from the sink, filters it, and puts it into the dishwasher.
So far, there's no word on when Clei plans to make this unusual design available, but it sounds like the company is interested in putting it into production. It could end up being a nifty solution for people living in cramped quarters. You might just want to put it near a window to make the most of the solar capabilities.

Each measures approximately 2.25 inches in diameter and is held in place by a leather strap with a belt style buckle and is adjustable up to 20 inches around. Since the ball is made from silicone, it will make for a more pleasurable experience while ball gag is being worn. For better comfort and use, the product has been improved where the ball meets the leather as shown in last image.

Best Place to Meet Single Men St. Louis 2003 - Gateway International Raceway
700 Raceway Blvd.
Madison, IL 62060
You can read all the books on dating tips in the free world, yet no philosophy will ever be as effective as playing numbers. If the first pickup line doesn't succeed, try, try again. And again. And again. During a big-time event at Gateway International Raceway, the single woman has roughly 60,000 opportunities for success or failure with the male species. Better yet, these are real men, not sensitive "metrosexuals" who use exfoliating cream and wax poetic about the Rep's upcoming schedule while bellied up to a wine bar. The Gateway man likely prefers Busch, wraparound shades, mesh caps, a handlebar 'stache and his hair short in front/long in back. But beneath the rough may lurk a diamond. Gentlewomen, start your engines.

While most of the country is awakening to spring, some areas are still under snow and gloomy skies. We are offering a little ray of sunshine to brighten up your day! Whether it's sunny or freezing in your neck of the woods, we know this will bring a smile to your face!
So, what can you do with it? The real question is, what can't you do? Wild Orange is very versatile. It can be used topically, aromatically, and internally for many health benefits. This oil is wonderful in your favorite unscented lotion. Not only does it smell amazing, it is also known to calm nerves, uplift mood, and help with insomnia. Using a couple of drops in water can improve and support digestion, increase immunity, and offer a mild detox to your cells. You can add a drop on your fingertip and turn on your car vents; with a wave or two of your finger, everyone is awake before school. Works great for teenagers in a grumpy mood, too!
Last fall, my youngest son had a stubborn cough that just wouldn't go away. Every time he tried to sleep, it would start up. It wasn't a productive cough but one of those dry, irritating coughs that made it impossible for him to sleep. I used Wild Orange and a drop of Peppermint oil in a little coconut oil, rubbed it over his throat and chest, and by the time I left his room, he had stopped coughing completely! I love having natural tools in my home that work!
Another great way to use Wild Orange essential oil is in your cooking. Add it to your favorite desserts, frosting, cinnamon rolls, and smoothies, or make an amazing salad dressing. Here is a wonderful recipe for Wild Orange French Toast:

Hi nyquil012- I was curious about that too. I asked Tony Migliorini, and he said that their team has been based in Oklahoma City for a long time. There's another group, the U.S. Coast Guard Institute, that is based in Oklahoma City, too. Tony said there's no real explanation for why they're there, but the best guess is that is because Oklahoma City is kind of centrally located (since team members frequently have to travel to both coasts to train officers). Hope this helps! Thanks for reading.
bupkus123- Hi, thanks for your comment. I have the print edition in front of me and it says $2.4B in the headline and in the story. Could you shoot me an e-mail at email@example.com with what print edition you're referring to, and if it's in the headline or the story? Thanks- Amy
@markruck - I noticed they were down and alerted our online editor. He said he let our tech folks know. Looks like the problem is fixed now. -Amy
@oldtimer and @richiemurph: In talking with some of the owners, they think a 5:30 start is actually likely to draw more families. They think families want to get their kids home at a decent hour, and with a 7 p.m. start, it's really challenging to do that.
Attendance has been really low this season though (I counted just under 200 the other night), so it will be interesting to see if they try to shake up the start times.
@manuel212- Just to clarify, the family had to file the missing persons report with the Jersey City Police Department, since she lived in Jersey City at the time of her disappearance. Then, apparently it was transferred back to Suffolk, since she went missing there. During the winter, after the bodies were found, the JCPD publicly said that they were still part of the investigation into Gilbert's disappearance. From what I've seen, it doesn't seem like they're involved in actually combing the area (Suffolk, Nassau and the FBI have all been involved in that), and none of the Oak Beach neighbors mentioned being questioned by anyone from JCPD. However, they may be handling some aspect of the investigation in Jersey City (like her background in prostitution agencies, etc.) that I'm not aware of. Thanks for writing in a comment-- Amy

I've had the computer for over a year and as clumsy as i am, this is the first time i've ever spilled anything on it. It was a bit of coffee, just on the keyboard section, mainly in the middle. (Thankfully most of it got on ME)
Immediately I turned the computer upside down and shook it a little. I then dried it off and examined it carefully. I swore i could see liquid droplets between a couple of keys. Everything was working fine, but (very) stupidly i took off the H and N keys to clear out the drops with a q-tip. There was nothing in there except a little dust. What I thought were drops was just glare. I replaced the keys and went about my business for 5 minutes or so...all keys were working fine. Then, suddenly, the H and N keys were not working. And they are STILL not working
I realized a bit later that the backlight was spotty behind keys - working for some and not for others. This is not a big deal to me, but the non-functioning keys are super annoying, obviously.
So my question is, will I need the whole keyboard replaced, or is there a way to fix just those keys?
I'm also praying that everything will be ok with the "rest" of the computer....this happened around 8 am, at 10 it was fine, then I went to work and closed the computer. Hopefully when I get home and start it up, I'll have no problems. Cross your fingers.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Mac Specs: PowerBook G4 17" The slow one!
then you'll need a can of compressed air and some electronics contact cleaner (see links below for the product). You should spray the heck out of the key board, be nice if you were able to take off all the keys to do this. Might as well do it all wile your at it. Don't use all the compressed air and don't use it to close or it will freeze the keyboard, not sure what the temp tolerances are for it! Then you want to soak it with the contact cleaner. The contact cleaner has a brush on it to rub it in so use it. Well, don't actually really soak it, just spray it on the key contacts. Then let sit a little while 5 minutes then wipe off and spray with compressed air again to get all the contact cleaner off. Use a good paper towel to dry it, just dab it here and there to suck up the cleaner. It is ok to leave a little cleaner on the keyboard if you can't get it all off. Just get as much as you can. The when done, put it back to gether and you will be fine.
Can't find the links right now, but Radio shack has both the cleaner and the spray.
DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! I guess I should say that for some reason.

One of the reasons we like Kenya Bell on Basketball Wives is that even though she finds herself in situations that aren't always ideal (the Evelyn fight, laughing at Tami and Kesha's dinner argument), she's always been incredibly honest and forthcoming in every interview we've read with her. This interview she just did with Juicy Magazine is no different. Kenya recently spoke to them about all the current Basketball Wives fighting that's been going on, and all the haterade that's been directed at her as a result of her video screening, but she still keeps her head up in spite of it all. Here are some of our favorite Kenya quotes from the interview.
On fighting with the women:
I've been professionally trained to fight thanks to my Dad. I have no fear of any of them and all of their bullying, negativity, and pure haterism. It's sad that as women, they aren't supporting my efforts to be independent as a woman and a mother, especially after I spent years helping my husband make it to the NBA and he's chosen to ruin his life. [The cast] can talk all they want, as long as neither of them put their hands on me, they have nothing to fear.
On how she dealt with the criticism from the group who screened her music video:
I'm a very cultured individual. I've worked in corporate America and shook hands with the President. I know the difference between what's good and what isn't, so when someone tells me something is horrible and I know it's not, it's laughable to me.
On why she's drawn to Jennifer:
Jen has been the only person in the group that has been consistently nice to me and I appreciate that. Because of that, I consider her someone that I can become friends with. It's soooo sad that they have a "mob" mentality and because Jen refuses to "join the crowd" and hate me like they have decided to do before they even got to know me, all of a sudden they say I idolize her. It's their way of trying to make Jen not like me. I'm so proud of Jen for being an individual.
On her relationship with Tami:
I'm very surprised to see the footage of Tami talking bad about me behind my back. I still feel that she has a good heart, that's why she stepped in between Evelyn and I. Because of the supposed "stabbing" that my husband accused me of, I really didn't want to have to hurt Evelyn on national television, so I appreciated that. But as a fellow mother of two, it's very disappointing that she was so mean and hurtful knowing she went through the same things I'm going through on the show.

Hitchcock, Faber pace 'Cats with three points apiece
|Jennifer Hitchcock
BOSTON - Jennifer Hitchcock (LaSalle, Ontario), the reigning Hockey East Player of the Week, and Sam Faber (Mt. Sinai, N.Y.) recorded three points apiece to propel the second-ranked University of New Hampshire women's ice hockey team to Saturday afternoon's 5-1 Hockey East victory against Boston University at Walter Brown Arena.
UNH extended its national-best active unbeaten streak to 10 games with its 10th consecutive victory - the Wildcats' longest win streak since the team won 11 straight in the 1988-89 season - to improve to 15-2-0 overall. The 'Cats are now atop the Hockey East standings with 14 points (7-1-0 league record). BU is now 9-9-3 overall, 4-6-2 HE.
Hitchcock finished with two goals, including the game-winning tally for the second consecutive game, and an assist while Faber tallied a goal and two assists. That duo received support from Shannon Clement (Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario), who recorded a goal and an assist, as well as Amy McLaughlin (Berlin, Mass.) and Sadie Wright-Ward (Durham, N.H.), both of whom registered two assists.
UNH goaltender Melissa Bourdon (Ile Bizard, Quebec) finished with 11 saves. BU goalie Allyse Wilcox stopped 23 shots, including nine in the first period.
The teams skated to a 1-1 tie through one period. UNH took a 1-0 lead on a goal by Faber at 16:29. Clement sent the puck from the right corner behind the net to Hitchcock, who passed the puck to the high slot, where Faber fired a shot into the net.
BU tied the score, 1-1, with 1:52 remaining in the opening stanza when Sarah Russell intercepted a pass at the defensive blue line and moved the puck forward to Gina Kearns, who scored on a breakaway. The goal ended Bourdon's shutout streak at 121 minutes, 19 seconds.
The Wildcats regained the lead, 2-1, on the team's nation-best sixth shorthanded goal of the season, which was netted by Hitchcock at 6:46. McLaughlin played the puck through the neutral zone to Hitchcock, who angled in from the right circle, warded off a defender and tucked the puck into the net.
Clement scored a power-play goal at 2:14 of the third period to extend UNH's advantage to 3-1. McLaughlin's shot from the high slot was stopped by Wilcox but she couldn't control the rebound and, from a scrum at the right post, Clement slapped the puck across the goal line. Hitchcock netted her second of the game at 16:48 on a shot from the high slot and Lindsay Hansen (Northport, N.Y.) capped the scoring with a power-play goal at 19:11. Wright-Ward and Faber were credited with assists on both of those tallies. UNH's penalty kill unit was perfect (5-for-5) for the sixth consecutive game to extend its streak to 21 consecutive kills. The Wildcats' power play went 2-for-3 to mark the ninth time this season the 'Cats have scored multiple power-play goals in a game.
New Hampshire returns to action at home Jan. 11 vs. Harvard University. Game time at the Whittemore Center is 7 p.m.

Anyways, I am aware of the arguments for pro-choice. I was writing a paper against abortion, and threw away the entire thing after finding out that everything is against me. It just comes down to belief, and so I say, leave it at that. I'm just politically inept, so I won't argue.
Abortion, really makes my blood boil.
That's fine, you're entitled to an opinion, but why force your opinion on others by vote? If you don't like abortion, don't have one. The fact that you are so against it probably leads me to believe that you would care for your children to the best of your ability. This is simply not the case for a whole lot of people. Do some research on the number of abortions done in this country, let alone the rest of the world.(hint: it's measured in millions annually) If you can honestly tell me that all those unwanted children would be better off being forced onto un-willing parents or the foster system, maybe you can have a leg to stand on.
Children should be brought into the world because they have loving and willing parents. Not because someone thinks that abortion is "killing a child" and checks a box on a voter form to force that opinion on everyone else. Nobody should ever be able to vote away someone's rights, ever. The right to your own body and it's functions is about as basic as it gets.
