Did global warming cause the tragedy on Everest?
It hasn't been much remarked upon during the anguished coverage in Europe and the United States of the deaths of 16 Sherpas in an avalanche on Mount Everest last week, but there is growing concern in the Himalayas that global warming may have played a part in the tragedy – and that it may go on to make the world's highest mountain unclimbable.
Both Sherpas and western climbers are increasingly sounding the alarm, saying that climate change is seriously destabilising the way up the mountain and making its ascent even more dangerous than before.
Concern about melting snow and ice in the Himalayas has been distinctly out of fashion for then past four years or so, following the discovery of a gross error in the last report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change which predicted that the giant mountain chain's glaciers would disappear by 2035. But the melting has continued, albeit at a much smaller pace, all the same.
Research published by the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development in Kathmandu last year concluded that Nepal's glaciers have shrunk by 21 per cent over three decades. And studies on the Tibetan side of the range by the Chinese Acadamy of Science have reported that glaciers on Everest have declined ten per cent in the last 40.
"The legendary Apa Sherpa, who jointly holds the record of 21 ascents of the mountain, has long been warning of the effects on the ground. "In 1989, when I first climbed Everest, there was a lot of snow and ice, but now most of it has just become bare rock" he said back in 2012.
"That, as a result, is causing more rockfalls, which is a danger to the climbers. Also climbing is becoming more difficult because it is very dangerous and very difficult to walk on bare rock with crampons meant for digging into the ice."
The 53 year old, dubbed 'Super Sherpa', added last week: "Troubles have multiplied in recent years because of climate change. Risks have increased because of ice melting in the Himalayas. There is a danger of icefalls collapsing, crevasses opening up all of a sudden, and avalanches braking down". Meanwhile Lakpa Sherpa, a four-time summiteer, says simply: "Our job is becoming riskier as climate change is affecting the mountains."
Similarly Samantha Larson, a climber on the mountain at the time of the accident – which took place in the Khumbu Icefall – said last week; "On Everest, it is as simple as this. Snow and ice are the glue that holds the route up the south col together. When that glue melts, things literally start to fall apart.
"Will there be a day when climate change renders the mountain unclimbable? That day may have already come."
And Tim Ripple, an expedition leader on the mountain at the same time, added: "The mountain has been deteriorating rapidly in the past three years due to global warming, and the breakdown in the Khumbu Icefall is dramatic". And mountaineer Graham Hoyland commented: "Perhaps it is time to stop climbing Mount Everest through the lethal Khumbu Icefall".
The warnings have academic support. "You can be sure that if the climate is changing – and it is – then glaciers are changing and the danger is shifting" says Prof. Jeff Kargel of the University of Arizona, who is mapping the Himalayan glaciers, though he adds that the overall risk may not increase, just move to different places. And Prof Tad. Pfeiffer of the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research at the University of Colorado, says: "Changes in snow and ice are going strongly to influence the stability of snow on a slope and the possibility of an avalanche".
Add to all this the increasing crowding of Everest – 4000 people have now reached the summit, with 800 making the attempt last year alone – and a disaster seems to have been waiting to happen.

English professor Jim Bennett has a dual personality. By day, he lectures university students in an animated way on the modern novel. By night, he debases himself and everything he professes to believe by repeatedly wagering every dollar he has and all he can borrow, up to a quarter million, until he's stripped bare. He embraces peril and courts disaster.
The film's title tells the tale: "Lone Survivor," but that revelation doesn't begin to convey the intense, gut-wrenching Afghan war mission of the four SEALs featured. Seldom has a film so powerfully thrust the viewer into the violent action, communicating desperation and determination as well as dedicated brotherhood. This makes the tragedy that unfolds all the more horrific.
Just as the song promises and "Broken City" delivers, New York, New York, is a "helluva town." Only, the movie, unlike the song, is dark and murderous and craven. "Broken City" posits that the Big Apple has a bad apple for a mayor, plus a killer cop, an adulterous First Lady, and thugs in every echelon of society.
When Three Kings and I Heart Huckabees director David O. Russell signed on to make The Fighter, he certainly knew boxing films clichés and had no intention of merely repeating them. What he, stars Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale, and Melissa Leo have delivered does include some obligatory moments but also probes family dynamics in surprising and gratifying ways.

Abstract City: Where Comedy And Crayons Collide
Lately, I've been avidly following a whole bunch of people in my spare time through the micro-blogging site Tumblr. Its layout is slightly similar to Twitter, in which one can "follow" blogs of their liking. And two things I've taken interest in following are stand-up comedians and clever artists.
Well, through the magic of Tumblr, I've stumbled upon Christian Niemann's Abstract City blog on The New York Times. It satisfies both loves.
Over the past few years, Niemann's blog — available in the opinion section of the The New York Times' site — has been showcasing his original illustrations. He uses paint, tiles, and cables, among other things, to create Demetri Martin-inspired comedic drawings about his life. The post entitled "Good Night and Tough Luck," shows hilarious flow charts, pie graphs, and pictures to illustrating his lack of sleep. Thoughts on rainy days, literal Google Maps, and bathroom art round out the pack.
But the post that got me hooked was the entry on my favorite childhood (OK, and adulthood) play things: I LEGO NY. Niemann displays his nostalgia for the Big Apple with his kids in Berlin through simple Lego creations (he built the Sunday paper out of three thick 2-by-4 blocks. Sweet, yet simple.)
And Niemann's work hasn't stopped here. Chances are you've seen his work in The New Yorker, Newsweek, Wired, The New York Times Magazine and American Illustration. If you're diggin' his creations, check out his personal site.

Holy cow - you need a new doctor & I would have DH take you to the ER. They'll most likely keep (admit) you so you can get things squared right away.
As far as the BFing...let it go in one ear & out the other. I say, opinions are like assholes. Everyone's got one. Some just stink more than others.
Good luck but get back in right away. You definitely are at emergency numbers there.

She recommended removing Viv from the breast because *she* stopped BFing her baby at 2. She said she was a "big girl" now and needed to act like one and gain some independence.
I happen to believe that independence won't be helped by watching her sister get milks while she is told no. It would be a rather mean thing to do to her, particularly as she is still feeding 4-6 times a day with her sister. If she were askign me to take one off for my health, I would consider it from that standpoint. But that is not what she did. Which is why it annoyed me. I didn't ask for her personal opinion. I only need her medical one, and the medical opinion is that I am fine with breastfeeding safe meds.

Brandi, that's also a good one, pretty much any Bp med that's safe for pregnancy is safe for Breastfeeding. (And you don't have to wean because you have high blood pressure and are on meds).

Pps really should have read the context in which op was told to stop bfing. Her doctor gave her personal opinion on her breast feeding her older child, not a medical opinion. It had nothing to do with the blood pressure. Get a new doctor. If you're on post you can just go to the doctors office and request a change of primary physician. I've had to do it because I'm not comfortable with male doctors and that's what I had at first.

I hope your BP goes down! I was on Lebatalol when I was around 35 ish weeks pregnant with severe high BP (yet my doctor wouldn't induce or deliver until 2 days before my DD). It works well and is safe for pregnancy/breastfeeding. It took my readings down from 210+/160+ to about 150/90ish. Hope you feel better soon, mama!

I don't like that second number it's too high!! That number should never be in the 100 range. Those meds sound appropriate, however, with a blood pressure that high I still think you should have been admitted to be evaluated at least overnight and until numbers got to be more reasonable. I also think you need lab work at least a basic metabolic profile that would check a BUN/creatine level (kidney labs that can be off with BP numbers like yours) I don't understand why a script could not have been called in while you waited for your appointment. Regardless knowing your numbers are that high why not go to the emergency room?! You have to be your own advocate especially with 2 little ones to think about. I have always had health insurance but regardless emergency situations warrent a hospital trip, no matter what?!

I probably will, but mostly for the shaking that seems to be an effect of the Labetalol. Not fun.
I have to wait for SO to get home first, but he only has something like 6 deliveries left then he can come back. Maybe an hour. Two at the most.
No worries. I will update you with whatever they tell me :)

Latest articles
First great site in the Loire Valley to discover coming from Paris, the Royal Chateau of Blois offers a true panoramic survey of art and history of the chateaux of the Loire Valley and sets a good introduction to their visit. Residence of 7 kings and 10 queens of France, the Royal Chateau of Blois is a site reminiscent of the power and daily life at court in the Renaissance, as do testify the royal apartments, furnished and embellished with magnificent polychromatic decors.
In 1845, it was the first historical residence to be restored and acted as a model for the restoration of many other chateaux. The Royal Chateau of Blois, classified as Museum of France, filled with more than 35,000 works of art, presents a section of its collections in the Royal apartments of the Francis the First's wing, in the Fine Arts Museum set in the Louis the 12th's wing, but also during its many temporary exhibitions.

We're pleased to announce the availability of Rethinking Enterprise Storage: A Hybrid Cloud Model (ISBN 9780735679603), by Marc Farley, as a free download! You can download the PDF version of this title here (120 pages; 3 MB).
We will update this post soon with links to EPUB and MOBI files. We expect these files to be available by the end of the month. UPDATE: The EPUB format is here and the MOBI format is here.
Rethinking Enterprise Storage: A Hybrid Cloud Model describes a storage architecture that some experts are calling a game changer in the infrastructure industry. Called the Microsoft hybrid cloud storage (HCS) solution, it was developed as a way to integrate cloud storage services with traditional enterprise storage.
The author, Marc Farley, works at Microsoft on hybrid cloud storage solutions as a senior marketing manager. The book includes a Foreword by storage industry expert and noted blogger Martin Glassborow, better known in the industry as Storagebod.
The book includes seven chapters:
Chapter 1 Rethinking enterprise storage Chapter 2 Leapfrogging backup with cloud snapshots Chapter 3 Accelerating and broadening disaster recovery protection Chapter 4 Taming the capacity monster Chapter 5 Archiving data with the hybrid cloud Chapter 6 Putting all the pieces together Chapter 7 Imagining the possibilities with hybrid cloud storage
To give you a taste of what's to come, here's an excerpt from the book's Introduction:
Just as the Internet has fundamentally changed many industries, cloud computing is fundamentally changing the information technology industry, including infrastructures such as enterprise data storage. This book is about one of the new infrastructure game changers—a storage architecture called hybrid cloud storage that was developed by a company called StorSimple, now a part of Microsoft, as a way to integrate cloud storage services with traditional enterprise storage. Hybrid cloud storage is a completely different approach to storing data with a single comprehensive management system covering data through its entire life cycle, including active and inactive states as well as backup and archive versions. IT teams with cloud-integrated storage arrays running in their data centers use cloud storage as a data management tool and not simply as additional storage capacity that needs to be managed. That concept takes a little time to fully understand and it's why this book was written.
The audience for this book includes all levels of IT professionals, from executives responsible for determining IT strategies to systems administrators who manage systems and storage. The book explains how hybrid cloud storage changes the ways data protection is accomplished without tape backup systems; how disaster recovery works with data that is stored in the cloud; how cloud services are used to facilitate capacity management; and how the performance of data stored in the cloud is managed. Several applications for hybrid cloud storage are discussed to help IT professionals determine how they can use the Microsoft hybrid cloud storage (HCS) solution to solve their own storage problems. The last chapter is a hypothetical look into the future that speculates how this technology might evolve.

This is education. Thank you.
There is written:
Unlike an iSCSI network, where it is easy to segregate SAN and LAN traffic with subnets or VLANs, the connection to the Internet is almost always shared with other Internet traffic at the site. The minimal dedicated bandwidth recommendation for the Internet link between the CiS system and Windows Azure Storage is 20 Mb/second.
The Microsoft HCS solution could be used for application/data migrations someday. Here's
a quick overview of how it might work: After pausing the application, the IT team would
take a cloud snapshot, which would upload the most recently written data and the most
recent metadata map.
A must read for every professional who is working in or with datacenters on a weekly basis!
"A must read for every professional who is working in or with datacenters on a weekly basis!" - Seriously who talks like this?
Vendors, please stop letting your marketing interns post to these forums, leave this crap for QVC or the pages of the National Enquirer where it belongs.
> that some experts are calling a game changer in the infrastructure industry
Who are these experts? who considers them to be experts? How many is "some" and out of what prospective pool of experts? Who do the experts work for?
We have 10 storsimple, but we would like to know if is it possible to use one like local storage?

In the Garden
As Californians, we love our gardens. We are blessed with fertile soil and excellent weather that helps us grow various types of flowers, vegetables and other plants. Gardeners have many pest control options, but also know how to employ responsible and creative gardening practices.Learn More
At Home
Homes are for people, families and their pets. Most Californians don't want bugs in their homes and desire to prevent insects from intruding into their living spaces. To reduce the likelihood of such infestations, the use of insecticides represents one effective option.Learn More
The Environment
Californians are among the most environmentally conscious and conscientious people. We recycle, we buy organic, we try to drive less, we are mindful of or home and garden pesticide use, and we take steps in our daily lives to minimize our impact to the environment.Learn More
Are You a Responsible Gardener?
If you are a gardener or homeowner who chooses to use pesticides, we urge you to apply them responsibly. By following a few simple rules found on this site you can play an important role in preserving California's water quality and environment.

Best Co-Q10 on the market
1 人が次のレビューが役に立ったと感じています

I have tried several different brands and forms of Co-Q10 and Vitaline chewable is the best so far. It absorbs quickly and gives you an instant sense of energy. The tablets are pleasant tasting and dissolve well. If I take this daily, I definately notice a difference. More expensive, it's true, but worth it.

My husband had been using this product for only two weeks when his irregular, and slow heartbeat returned to normal! It is amazing. When I asked our doctor what he thought, he said "I take 100 mg. every day myself!" Now three months later his heartbeat is still in the noraml range every time we check, and it rarely skips a beat. He is 83 years old! People who want to know more should read the book "The Sinatra Solution" by Doctor S. Sinatra, a cariologist from Connecticut. This supplement saved him from having to have a pace maker installed. thanks.
great product

By Victor Hayes Popovics
So, you've started your own pressure washing business. You probably spent hours thinking up a name; you've purchased equipment; you've likely spread the news around to friends and family: you are in business.
At this point, one of the most important decisions you face is how much to charge your customer per hour. Charge too much and you will have a hard time finding customers; charge too little and you may have plenty of business but not much to show for it when all is said and done. Additionally, if you under price in the beginning and then realize your error, you may lose all the clients who were accustomed to paying your low rates.
Hitting the right balance for setting on how much to charge hourly rate is a matter of taking all variables into consideration and keeping an eye on the bottom line. It may seem like you are making a good wage if you charge your clients $50 an hour, but think about all the costs involved in performing your particular service should be an essential part of your pressure washing business plan. Being prepared and understanding what goes into setting wages will pay off in the long run, and in more ways than just financial.
A good blueprint begins with a breakdown of monthly costs divided over the number of hours for which you will actually be able to charge your customers. Let's continue with the example of a pressure washing business, and estimate that the number of paid hours per week is 30.
These major and minor costs have already added up to almost $40 per hour and you haven't even paid yourself yet, or made any money to put back into your business. If you are looking to make a good salary and have some money to invest back into the business you need to do some careful calculations. Keeping in mind that only about 30 of your weekly 40 working hours will be paid for by your customers, you need to know how much to charge accordingly.
If you would like to make a salary of $60,000 a year, with money to put back into the pressure washing business (and to give to Uncle Sam) you should take your yearly salary, and break it down to weekly, based on a 40 hour work week. So, $60,000 is roughly $29 an hour. Say you want a cushion of $20,000 for business growth, which equals about $9.50 an hour. You already know that your costs have added up to $40 per hour, so add these together for a total of roughly $80 an hour. But is that what you charge your customer? Not if you want to be paid for all the time you are actually working.
Your $80 dollar an hour/ 40 hour a week paycheck equals $3200 per week in revenue. If you are billing customers for only $30 hours per week, your hourly fee needs to be $106 an hour. Now, you are in business!
Determining how much to charge your customers may seem like a lot of work, and honestly, it is. But, the work you put into setting your wages will enable you to have a clear picture of what your financial future will be and determine the success of your pressure washing business right from the very start.
The publisher of these pages is in no way responsible for any damage caused to you, your pressure washer, anyone else, your property, or anyone else's property by trying to implement or by successfully implementing the above-mentioned performance and services.

A Redwood Falls man who led law authorities on a 38-mile-long high-speed car chase through Renville and Redwood Counties in December pleaded guilty to fleeing police and driving while impaired in court on Wednesday. 46-year-old Brian Noel Hester had initially faced numerous charges, including attempted murder, for the chase, which reached speeds of upwards of 70 miles-per-hour, including through the City of Morton. Hester had reportedly tried to run over two officers during the chase, but the attempted murder charges were later dropped. Several other charges will now be dismissed as well as part of the plea agreement, and Hester is expected to be sentenced to 35-months in prison for the plea due to his extensive number of prior convictions for similar incidents.

I've often found it extremely amusing
How my little brother, Daniel B.,
Is always affecting my life so very much
In ways I've just recently seen.
Yes, sometimes you get rather annoying, D,
When boy-made sirens fill the air,
All day long without an hour's respite
Those abominations blare!
But you've also helped my patience grow
Thicker than before,
Because I never can stay mad at you
Longer than five minutes, no more.
You've got many sides to your character, you know,
There's the explosions and also the wisecracks,
There's the times when you cuddle on the couch with a book,

Select Local Merchants
Paradise Park Kansas CityRead MoreParadise Park started its life as a simple miniature-golf course in 1992. Since then, the park has grown with Lee's Summit, mirroring the suburb's population growth with additions that have turned it into a sprawling temple to family fun. Outdoors, guests can still show off their putts and best gopher impressions on the miniature-golf course, or head over to the go-kart track to face off against fellow drivers on a 1,000-foot road-inspired course. Inside the park's huge indoor area, kids play and learn at the Children's Edutainment Center or blast each other with air-propelled balls at the Foam Factory. A game room harks back to the arcades of old with token-fed classics such as Ms. Pac-Man, as well as offering new amusements including a SpongeBob SquarePants game.1021 NE Colbern Rd.Lee's Summit, MO US
Mission BowlRead MoreAt Mission Bowl in Mission, you can practice both your putting and driving. Check out the restaurant at this course for a delicious meal. Grab the kids when you head to this course — its family-oriented atmosphere perfect for the whole clan.

The 32-lane array gives ample space for individual and league play, though larger parties can opt to reserve The Den, a private, elegant bowling alley featuring six lanes, library-paneled walls, and no restrictions on false old-timey mustaches. The mini-golf course challenges putters to 18 holes with a range of colorful obstacles for year-round enjoyment, though unfavorable weather may limit off-season play to all but the most wind-resistant of miniature athletes.17070 Aarons LaneBelton, MO US

Making a smiley appearance on the " Ellen DeGeneres Show," pop superstar Lady Gaga discussed her new album ARTPOP, and connection between her and boyfriend, Taylor Kinney.
During a very candid interview, Portia de Rossi chatted about her first outing as a lesbian with her wife Ellen DeGeneres.
On Bravo's "Inside the Actors Studio" Thursday (November 7), the 40-year-old actress sat down with host James Lipton and her fellow "Arrested Development" cast members to discuss the inner-struggles she faced while preparing to tell the world about her secret.
It's one of the most beloved holidays of the year, and Halloween brought out some wild and crazy creativity in our favorite stars.
And while there was a surplus of sexy and scary costumes this year, GossipCenter has identified ten of the most memorable disguises.
Last month, Nicki Minaj was a guest on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," and her chesty ensemble made quite an impression on the talk show host.
In fact, Ellen decided to dress up as the "Pink Friday" rapper for her own Halloween-themed episode, sporting fake breasts and skimpy attire to go with her long blonde wig.
Her gamble on the "Bethenny" talk show doesn't seem to be paying off, so Ellen DeGeneres is gearing up for a brand new show for the NBC Network.
This time around, the much-beloved entertainer is teaming up with her former "Ellen" writer Liz Feldman to develop a sitcom that's sure to be hilarious.
He usually keeps fairly quiet about his personal life, but Drake decided to open up about his dating past during a game on the " Ellen DeGeneres Show."
In the episode, which was set to air today (September 20), the "Hold On We're Going Home" singer clears the air on which A-listers he has dated.
Spreading positivity on her daytime talk show for about a decade has made her a household name, and now, Ellen DeGeneres has been named the most likeable woman in Hollywood.
According to an iHeartRadio survey, the affable host earned a whopping 35.1% of the vote, trouncing Jennifer Lawrence at #2 (17.7%) and Emma Stone at #3 (13.4%).
Celebrating both the hard working people in this country and the end of the summer season, celebs sounded off about Labor Day on Twitter.

Pearson: Welcome to the Friday, February 4, 2011 version of Market Plus. Thanks for joining us here at our Market to Market Website. With us this week one of our regular Market Analysts Elaine Kub. Well Elaine, we talked about a lot of stuff on the show. There's one other thing that we didn't talk about that I wanted to you to talk about and that's the dollar. What do you see ahead there? Everybody has been beating up on it.
Kub: I think, you know, I mentioned the whole commodity sector is in a bullish trend and nothing has specifically happened to change that. Same story with the dollar in the opposite. Its been in a loosing trend, its been weaker, and nothing specifically has happened to change that. I think the bump up we saw this week was a reaction to the Euro and - reaction – it sort of ignored Egypt for a couple of weeks and then all the sudden that was sort of thrown around as a reason for the dollar to be up. I think we're going to see it go back down and remain weak.
Pearson: So, that's wind at our back in the commodities world. So, we can find some strength in that. We also at the tail end of the show I just asked you quickly about metals and you said yeah, fairly positive. you didn't seem to be overly thrilled with the metals market.
Kub: Well, I think there's not particular reason for them to change yet but I do think that if the whole things falls apart and if we see money moving, if interest rates rise for instance, if there's better investment opportunities elsewhere and we see money move out of the commodity sector I think there's going to be a giant flight out of the gold market for instance and all these other metals too. I think that if you had some money that you wanted to throw around. I think some puts in gold or silver or copper would be kind of fun to have.
Pearson: All right. Well let's talk about the grain markets. You talked about on the show both corn and beans, wheat, are all still in bullish trend. Let me ask you the question that I get asked all the time. I want to know what your reaction is to it. What's going to kill this thing? What's going to kill the golden goose here? We've got these record prices. Obviously a lot of discussion in the news about high food prices which usually could be a limiting factor at some point. Maybe impacting ethanol who knows? What could be that - that problem area? What could be the stone to the pigeon, if you will?
Kub: Well, you know I think USDA is predicting that any rationing is going to come out of the feed sector. You see them drop those numbers before they drop other numbers and that would seem to make sense except that the livestock prices have kept up so well. So, your next area of pain is going to be ethanol plants that don't have enough operating capital perhaps running out of money and going bankrupt or your export demand for staple grains like wheat. And like I said that's going to be six weeks out before we really see any of that paying at these prices and really hit the retail consumer. So, it's really hard to say.
Pearson: In the perfect storm world the storm down in Australia hitting that area which already had some wheat problems. This poor quality wheat, you know, we've fed a lot of that over the years.
Kub: Yeah, in the feed sector sure and I think China has been importing feed. They imported half a million tons rather than importing corn. So, that's - that's an interesting new demand factor on the wheat market in wheat, like you say, it doesn't really - isn't really there to be exported to China. They ordinarily could go to Australia, but for just human consumption for food consumption I think it will be interesting to see how grocery prices are affected.
Pearson: All right. Well they are going to go higher. I can predict that one for you. Let me ask you this and we're talking about the grain markets and you were saying, you know, hey we've still got maybe some ways to go up to the upside of this - on this grain market. But you also said you'd be stepping up sales in 2011/2012 from a management standpoint - risk management standpoint.
Kub: Right and I think that's just kind of rule of thumb every year is that you expect to see sort of the high around March 15th and you would want to have a good chunk of your crop sold by then if you're going to do some pre-harvest hedging. But this year particularly because there is so much risk that it could fall apart so fast. I think it's important to manage your risk in that sense.
Pearson: All right. Well said. Elaine Kub good to have you with us this week on Market to Market. Thanks for joining us on Market Plus again. Could be a wild weekend depending on what happens in Egypt. So we want remind everybody to that and we were visiting on Friday afternoon. We wish all of you the best and from all of us here on Market to Market I'm Mark Pearson thanks for joining us and have a great week.

Discussion in 'Star Wars TV' started by Asharak, Mar 5, 2012.
Ignorance is saying how bad the real story stinks simply because it is not what you want to see.
If it's not part of the SW story, why isn't it classified N-canon? Why did LucasFilm bother making the distinction between C, S, and N-canon?
Also, again, Lucas is leaving. He won't be involved with this franchise any more, so saying that Lucas' involvement is a prerequisite doesn't make sense.
I suppose the 'real story' is only limited to the films, the rest is EU.
Even if G/T-Canon works have the power to supersede C-Canon works, that doesn't mean it's always a good idea or that they have to exist separately. C-Canon works have enriched higher-level media since the very beginning. They enhance the overall story being told.
And from a simple business perspective, you're more likely to get tie-in materials written and bought if you keep things whole. There will inevitably be significant changes from above, but trivial alterations don't exactly inspire confidence in Lucasfilm's ability to nurture a cohesive expanded universe.
The Prequel trilogy is EU to me.
It was made 16 years later, and it expanded the universe, did it not?
You knew all along that at any given time higher levels of cannon could come in and re-write C-cannon. Just like at any given time G cannon can come in and rewrite T cannon. If one day a movie decides to be made that replaces the story being told in TCW then that will make the TCW insignificant. Will I like it....no.....but I will accept it because I know that T cannon is not as a high as G cannon.
Since you have yet to sell anyone that you are making a convincing argument, apparently that isn't all that needs to be said.
I'm sure you're creative and ingenious enough to try this from another angle. I have welcomed another explanation to continuity changes other than "because Filoni can or wants to." Still waiting for you to offer one.
Speaking of warping, you're warping history to suit your own bias.
The reason people believe the Expanded Universe is the real story of Star Wars―the reason the Expanded Universe is the real story of Star Wars―is because that is the official Lucasfilm company's policy. Once upon a time, there were no levels of canon. There was simply Canon and Not Canon. If it was published under the official license of Star Wars, whether book, comic, or game, then it is Canon. If it was designated as an official "What If" storyline, or published by someone outside of the Star Wars franchise, then it is Not Canon. That's it, full stop, no other options. And that was how Lucas made his money for years. It was only after some of the more serious contradictions were introduced by the Prequels that this letter tier system was introduced and subsequently released to the fans to explain that there was some established precedent for why Lucas was changing established fact. This was not always policy, it was late-to-the-game ass-covering of the sort that Lucas and his people have only gotten more efficient at as the years go on.
Do you not accept that this is an incredibly destructive way to go about things?
Star Wars has always excelled in that there aren't multiple universes with different versions of all your characters. It's one cohesive timeline (up until very recently). The canon system does not mean that everything will be overwritten, it is literally intended to prevent lower canon levels from ignoring higher ones.
Disney/LucasFilm could throw out everything and reboot the entire franchise from A New Hope. They have that power. But give me a good reason to do so. Just saying "they can" isn't a reason. They can do anything. On the creative side, it doesn't make sense to throw everything out when there's so much great material in the EU (yes, there's good and bad, but the good is great). A clean-up is fine, most of the early Marvel comics are S-canon, for instance, because they don't fit in with the general SW feel and continuity.
I'll yet again repeat in the hopes that you'll read it this time: the novels/comics are advertised as "part of the wider SW saga". They are advertised as a cohesive universe - as a part of a whole. They aren't advertised as Infinities. You keep stating, "it's C-canon" as if that's all that needs to be said. C-canon still "happened" in the SW timeline.
Regarding Barriss - That single strip is the one thing I know of EU wise that was changed and I completely agree that it is barely enough to get into a tizzy about.
As far is some of these more headdesk moments of continuity breaking, I feel like this will always be my view -
George Lucs is the creator. As much as some of his decisions make me cringe, it is his universe. If he wants to do something, he can. I may not like it but when it comes to canon - he has the final say. That being said, we know Lucas is involved with TCW - even now. Even with the Disney takeover, he still will retain his "G level" influence. On TCW, Ep7 and forward, he will always be that kind of consultant - if he says it, then its absolute canon. Now, many of the continuity gaffes may be Filoni calling the shots, or it may be Lucas, sometimes, we just don't know. But as long as Lucas is involved in the show, whatever is said will trump the other EU sources. This is the simple fact of the history of the GFFA.
Like I said before, some of these changes, I may not like at all, but there are other changes that I do feel are warranted and even superior than their former canon (quality wise). I don't think it makes sense for me to hate an entire series, just because changes are made that contradict what I already thought I knew. My beef is with people who hate on the entire series and take an elitist stance that it is all rubbish b/c "I know the real history of that character and its not that!" Its a very hipster stance and its a bit annoying. If one change frustrates you, then okay, be frustrated by that change...but at the same time, try to view it independently from any previous canon and if you still feel that the storytelling is rubbish - then okay, your opinion on liking/disliking the show has personal merit. If the story independently is actually good and you just hate it because it changed "history" needlessly, I find that a poor excuse to hate an entire series - especially when these changes are not occupying every second of series' 112 episodes.
Take the special editions for example. Hayden Christensen in ROTJ, Han shooting first, Vader screaming "No!" - I hate each of these moments. But should I say that the entire OT is rubbish because it contains them? Sure they're not necessarily canon changes since their changing something within themselves and not across other bodies of work, but the same principle still applies. They are needless, jarring and ridiculously stupid changes.
Ultimately, canon is "a history of said fictional universe." And like a history of anywhere, things hold more credence than others. Many times, historians and archaeologists come across works of literature, art, architecture, etc. that may contradict each other's version of historical events. This is a simple fact. Historians' jobs are to examine all of the facts and determine which sources are more credible. Obviously, a primary source is the most reliable. Secondary sources may clash, but there are ways of deciding which is more truthful in its' interpretation of events. Luckily, in the "history" of the GFFA, we do not need to be fumbling in the dark on which is true and which isn't because we have a hierarchy established (G - n canon), a single primary source that is known to trump all (GL) and a keeper of the Holocron to help sort out issues (Leeland Chee). When I see canon get axed by a "higher level canon," I view it the same way that a historian would view is various sources.
I do not blow up when a past portrayal of an event is rendered "false," by a new, more reliable source. I examine what can still be inferred as true from that past portrayal, put the pieces together, and move along with a more coherent understand of history.
Sure, it's Lucas' universe, but you can't have it both ways: don't profit from the stories you'll later contradict, and then expect us to swallow them without question.
God, **** like this is why I avoid the Episode 7 forum. My deepest sympathies to level-headed people there.
I never said I like continuity changes, but unfortunately, in this franchise, it seems that, "it is unavoidable. It is your destiny."
Pretty sure that very few people have said they hate an entire franchise due to continuity changes.
However, "because he can" is still an asinine and arrogant reason to alter continuity.
Not at all surprised that that's the only reason given for it happening.
As long as the story is being told within the universe that he created than it is his money to make. If you are upset about him making money and then making particular ideas created by others insignificant than go create a universe of your own that Lucas is not a part of. Until then your complaints really don't hold up very well.
^ Get a load of this guy
Did you just say that to critique something, you have to have direct experience? So I should never complain about bad Governmental policies because I've never worked within the Government?
Uh... ad Verecundia? Appeal to authority?
The ability to critique does not require direct experience. I can just imagine how our world would be if that were the case.
Yeah, Jack, go create your own universe in which you make a character who is a pacifist healer and then later say "Oops! I really meant that she likes to blow **** up." I've never gotten the chance to call you an arrogant ass who likes to say "**** you" to your fan base and there's something missing from my life because of that.
Did Lucas say she was a pacifist hero or did an EU author?
We simply ask that the honorable Mr Lucas show a bit more respect for the written works that have made him so much money and have enriched and expanded on the universe he created.
It doesn't matter. The Lucasfilm label was stamped on the back of the book and the character was the same.
And don't bother with the "real story" argument again, unless of course you're just trying to be amusing.
I find it amusing that every canon debate is the same.
It might be fun to parody it elsewhere, Fanboy.
Something something EU glorified fan fiction something something
Actually, there are more points that are relevant but not many people seem to bring them up, preferring to use the same arguments over and over again.
What makes the most sense for the business side? Would erasing the EU cause a dramatic decrease in novel/comic/tie-in sales? What would be the monetary benefit of erasing the EU?
I know you guys don't like it but again you knew when reading many of these books that higher cannon could come in at any given time and change the story written by these authors. So again you don't really have much room to complain.

I am weak in mathematics and always get stuck with the problems which require answer modulo some prime no.
eg: (500!/20!) mod 1000000007
I am familiar with BigIntegers but calculating modulo after calculating factorial of 500(even after using DP) seems to take a load of time.
I'd like to know if there's a particular way of approaching/dealing with these kind of problems.
Here is one such problem which I am trying to solve at the moment: http://www.codechef.com/FEB12/problems/WCOUNT
It would really be helpful if someone could direct me to a tutorial or an approach to handle these coding problems. I am familiar with Java and C++.

These do the job well. They are a lot more convenient than plastic grocery bags and do a better job. The cost is not much and worth it for the convenience.
Pros: very convenient, for large or small dogs
Cons: none

posted 7 years ago
I've used these when they've been given to me, but never bought them. I keep small vegetable bags, newspaper bags, etc. and always have one on hand. Although there is nothing wrong with a bag specifically designed for this purpose, it seems like a bit of a waste of money to me. Recycle a bag already used for something else.
Pros: does the job
Cons: no better than any other plastic bag

In most cultures in the world, grown children are expected to feed, clothe, and house their elders and in many cases it's the mother-in-law who runs the family. What an excellent idea! In our society, however, parenting seems to have become a lifetime job.
After you've raised the kid and survived the childhood injuries, the teenage psychoses, and the near-bankruptcy of tuition costs, you get all teary at a college graduation ceremony and congratulate yourself on a job well done. The offspring is launched, your life is your own again, and you think about turning the kid's room into a ceramics studio. Think again.
Young adults face a brutal reality shock when they leave the warm cocoon of home and school. Finding a job and a place to live are tough challenges, especially in our difficult economy. Nowadays, a lot of college grads are boomeranging right back to mama's house.
If – God forbid – I had a twenty or thirty-something living with me, I would at least expect some help with the chores. My friend Nancy is a college professor whose son and daughter-in-law live with her. The daughter-in-law loves to cook, bake, and garden: that sounds like a pretty fair exchange to me. On the other hand, I know a woman who prepares her slacker son's lunch before she leaves for work, and does his laundry on weekends. This mother is a psychologist. I think she could use some therapy.
