The Baltimore District provides water resource planning and engineering design and construction support focused on navigation, flood risk management and environmental restoration. Our work includes construction and operation of dams that support life and property safety, provide recreation, environmental stewardship, and water supply; dredging of major waterways; and construction of local flood risk management projects.
Our civil works boundaries, covering the Chesapeake Bay Basin and the Susquehanna and Potomac river watersheds, extend from Maryland to New York. In total, the district's responsibilities cover 49,000 square miles in six states and the District of Columbia, two watersheds, and 7,000 miles of coastline. Along these waterways, the Baltimore District operates and maintains 290 miles of federal navigation channels, 148 miles of federally-constructed levees, and 15 federal flood risk management dams and reservoirs.
As a result, the Baltimore District has prevented $16 billion in flood damages, is restoring approximately 600 acres of oyster habitat and is also restoring 1,140 acres of remote islands.
Major projects are highlighted in the below sections. To view all of the district projects, please visit the Baltimore District Fact Sheet portal.
The Baltimore District operates and maintains more than 290 miles of federal navigable channels within the Susquehanna River watershed. This work includes dredging, employing cuttinge-edge technology to conduct underwater surveys, and applying its fleet of debris removal vessles to clear floating hazards out of the federal channles in the Baltimore Harbor and Potomac River.

The Baltimore District regulates 16 multi-purpose reservoirs in the States of Maryland, West Virginia, and New York as well as the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The dams at each reservoir were designed and constructed by the Baltimore District, and all are currently operated and maintained by the District with the exception of Savage River Dam (operated by the Upper Potomac River Commission).
All 16 dams were built primarily for flood risk management. Other project purposes include recreation, water supply, water quality, hydroelectric power, and low flow augmentation. Additional information on recreation opportunities at each reservoir can be found here.
Baltimore District hydraulic engineers monitor water levels in the region's major rivers and regulate Corps-managed dams and reservoirs to minimize downstream impacts. Data from satellite imagery and river gages, as well as real-time reports from its field personnel on the ground, help to make decisions on when to open and close the gates at the dams. District dam operators are onsite inspecting and monitoring the performance of the dams, and taking the necessary action to ensure the safety of the surrounding communities.

Reservoir Data
The Baltimore District is authorized to investigate and perform studies related to core mission areas including navigation, flood risk management, and ecosystem restoration, to determine if congressional authorization and implementation are warranted. Civil Works Planning is the start of the "pipeline" for addressing water resources needs. All projects start with Baltimore District planners answering the questions of Federal interest, engineering feasibility, economic justification and environmental acceptability.
Planners work with multi-disciplinary study teams to identify water resources problems, conceive solutions, resolve conflicting interests, and shape recommendations. The team will also assess the likelihood that a non-federal interest can be identified, willing to pay their share of the project cost per federal cost-sharing requirements.
The District conducts a broad range of studies, including studies leading to new projects that require congressional authorization, studies involving evaluation and design of projects under continuing authorities, and reexaminations of existing projects.
The Corps provides strong technical services through a variety of programs to address an array of water resources issues in the Chesapeake Bay region. The National Hurricane, Continuing Authorities, Rehabilitation and Inspection, Floodplain Management Services, Planning Assistance to States, and Silver Jackets programs grant the Corps the ability to provide technical water resources services through federal funding or a combination of federal and local funding. Click here to view a booklet that showcases one unique project for each state and the District of Columbia in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
For more information pertaining to policy, guidance, processes, and tools that are used every day by the District in project planning, please visit our Planning Toolbox.

A Project Partnership Agreement (PPA) is a legally-binding agreement between the Government and a non-federal sponsor (state, municipal government, flood control district, port authority, etc.) for construction of a water resources project. It describes the project and the responsibilities of the Government and the non-federal sponsor in the cost-sharing and execution of work. For more info on PPAs, click here.
Below is an interactive list of Baltimore District water resources PPAs. To access:
By default, this list is sorted in alphabetical order by project title.
The Baltimore District provides construction oversight and management for a variety of Civil Works projects. We handle all matters relating to construction, including contract advertisement and award, construction execution and contract close out. Typically, a private contractor is hired to perform the actual construction with District oversight.
Prior to award, the plans and specifications are reviewed from a construction quality management perspective. The awarded project is administered to ensure contract compliance and quality and, after completion, the District handles warranty inspections. We preserve a close relationship with the local sponsor for each project, to ensure that their interests are understood and appropriately addressed.
With a multi-discipline staff located at our District headquarters, as well as field offices throughout Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia, providing on-site representation, the District has the capability and experience in administering various types of contract procurement methods. This includes traditional formal bid, negotiated proposal, design-build, indefinite quantity, incentive type and cost reimbursable contracts.

Oyster Restoration
The Baltimore District has 148 miles of Federally-built levees that help manage flood risk in southern New York, central Pennsylvania, Maryland, northern Virginia, eastern West Virginia and Washington, D.C. Every year, teams with special training and equipment conduct annual inspections by walking the levees to ensure they would perform as designed in case of a high-water event. These teams also conduct periodic inspections every five years for a more in-depth review. All inspections are done in coordination with the local sponsor. Detailed reports following the inspections are given to the sponsor for any follow-up actions.
The results of Corps levee inspections help determine continued eligibility as part of the Rehabilitation and Inspection Program (RIP), which is the Corps' authority to provide federal aid in repairing levees damaged by floods or storms.
Inspections also provide a better picture of levee conditions and an opportunity in our shared efforts with state and local authorities to communicate flood risk and make informed decisions on how best to manage it.

Man I hate your text colour, so difficult to read
So when you 100% the game you really 200% it o.O How is it possible to get over 100% completion..
I'm totally lost'
Also whats mirror mode? Is everything flipped and inverted?

I've seen some games made with it I think..
The games look pretty much all the same though.. but I think its fairly good starter program if you want to get into some game making, you could even use game maker if you really want to start off easy.

Here is the updated list of Top 20 Prospects voted on by the PTP staff:
[table id=6 /]
Born and raised in the Kansas City area, I was fortunate enough to have a Grandfather that was a huge Baseball fan. He first introduced me to the Kansas City Athletics when I was only 3 years old. He took me to many early Royals games in old Municipal Stadium and I was lucky enough to see some of the greatest moments in Royals history (so far). I am a die-hard Royals fan and a walking encyclopedia of Royals History. I take great pride in that.
Even with the loss of Myers and Odorizzi at the top. The Royals still have good depth if not the star power. I also like that 3 of top pitchers (Lamb, Ventura and Adam) will start in AA while Zimmer, Smith & Selman will probably start in Wilmington and could move quickly through system.
Make or break year for Eibner as CF? What are his chances as a pitcher?

Supporters: Great Assets
or Your Worst Nightmare
I have not come across anybody writing or giving advice about changing jobs that has specifically addressed the people who need to support you when you're looking for a new job. These people can be your finest supporters or your worst nightmare. They can be a tremendous asset in your looking for a job and performing well on an interview, or they can be one of the greatest hindrances you will encounter. I've experienced many well-meaning supporters in the form of spouses, parents, ex-spouses, relatives, friends, and acquaintances who can totally destroy an otherwise perfectly good job search process.
It is very important that you get as many of the supporters that you might have to read at least this chapter of this book. Certainly, you are going to read it; but it is especially important for those closest to you, who are going to help you in your job search, to be ready for the same roller-coaster ride that you are going to experience. What's so treacherous about the involvement of the supporters is that they can screw up the process more than they can help, and they do it most of the time in the most well-meaning fashion.
If the supporters become very aware of their positive role in your job search, they will help you not only get interviews, but perform well on those interviews. One or two of your supporters should be helping you every day to prepare for interviews. They should be helping you practice your interviewing skills and answers to the questions in this book daily.

Will this be applied equally in the cesspool cities like Philadelphia, Chicago, Deetroit, etc., where Democrats OWN the government jobs, top to bottom, and they are 75%+ black in most cases?
Didn't they do that with home mortgages? What could go wrong? Will affirmative action people run nuclear power plants?
There is no telling what this crazy racist sumbi7ch will do now that he hasn't got to run again.
"The goal is to equalize outcomes based on race without regard for performance or merit."
Even if businesses are coerced by Obama to institute racist policies those policies will still cause them to be sued and the lawyers make a killing on both sides.
Obama has already shown his contempt for the lower courts and he has a dear dear friend wearing knee pads under his robe for him in the CJ of the SCOTUS.
Another hidden agenda from the voters.
Idiot Americans.
Wait, stop, I'm confused...since 0bama won with all these diversity voters...didn't they become the new majority?
And if they are the new majority, doesn't that make the rest of victims?
Now: is that attitude going to permit a viable society? or will it ensure a society in steep decline?
Boy, it is on like donkey kong.
He must laugh himself to sleep each night.
Isn't Obamaland great?
Now shut your faces and go pay your taxes.
You racists need to pay your fair share. :)
There isn't much to add what the racist alleged president will do, he hates real achievement and will continue to give away stuff to his people. America is dead.
If you want to be fair to everyone there's at least 30 different races. How's a company with 25 employees going to cover that?
Yes, we had the CRA and it's NINJA loans.
Overwhelm the system.
Next time you fill out a form asking for your race, check the box next to African-American.
No comment.
Failure. Some other presidents they leave it. He pulls up quick to retrieve it.
Good idea. And like Elizabeth Warren dare them to prove otherwise if they actually ask.
"The way to fight this is for EVERYONE to claim to be African-American.
Overwhelm the system.
Next time you fill out a form asking for your race, check the box next to African-American."
Ding ding ding, we have a winner. Out Alinsky Alinsky. Plus, this worked so well in the DMV that we need to expand it to the private sector.
I just needed to put a new tag line in.
This being Veterans Day. How about applying veterans preference points to non federal jobs.
Right. Businesses will just hire blacks and not insist they work, just to keep the feds off their case. These black employees will sit among the white employees and display their smugness over getting a paycheck without needing to work. The end result will be whites HATING blacks to a degree this country has never seen.
Yes, I work my head off 10 years to get a beach house. I'm white. A Hispanic wants a beach house. ubama gives him one immediately to equalize
Yep. No matter how stupid or lazy a person is, he must be rewarded equally with the intelligent and/or diligent person. It's only fair. Of course under this rule, why bother trying?
I look forward to my AA airline pilot, my AA brain surgeon, and my AA nuclear weapons specialist. All will be nice complements to our AA President.
It's the sound of phones ringing at Aryan Nation offices . . .
yeah I guess they will have to fire everybody and hire 88% whites.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
prove I am not.
"Businesses will just hire blacks and not insist they work, just to keep the feds off their case. These black employees will sit among the white employees and display their smugness over getting a paycheck without needing to work. The end result will be whites HATING blacks to a degree this country has never seen."
This is already the case.

These black employees will sit among the white employees and display their smugness over getting a paycheck without needing to work. The end result will be whites HATING blacks to a degree this country has never seen."
This is already the case.
Yep, the banks went from reluctant compliance to (thanks to competitive pressure from Countrywide) eager compliance. And when the whole house of cards came crashing down, they were castigated for "predatory lending practices."
No need to wonder why there've been no prosecutions. I'm sure that any eager-crusader Dems have been told - make that shown - that the Dems' own policies were a major cause of the blow-up.
That's the growth vector of the new fascism. If government's your business partner, then government takes the fall with you. It's not as easy for the liberals to use the old dodge as it used to be.
"Next time you fill out a form asking for your race, check the box next to African-American."
And you can back up your claim by using any anthropology text book from any university in america.
NO no no....the correct way is to check the box "Native American"
If you were born in the US, you would be telling the truth and cannot be considered fraudulent since anyone born here is "Native"
Of course, I'm not too sure of the Supreme Court right now on anything.
I have been saying that for years. Parents please....all newborn babies should at least should have their race listed as "other."
what about women? not a minority anymore? no, according to actual numbers, but come on, really?
Hasn't the racial preference juggernaut been unleashed since the 60's?
No comment needed.
Liberals are stuck on retarded.
I already thought all things were equal in the loan application process. I think he means giving them preferential treatment; you know...the very thing that got us into the current economic mess we're in. I guess the dummies just can't acknowledge the truth; that there are groups of people that share many of the same traits; like failing to pay their bills, lying on loan applications, mishandling priorities as in having fun first (partying or shopping) and taking care of bills later...
Everyone needs to get their kids out of school now. Closing the test score gap, in schools, means harassing the white, achieving students until they leave or fail.
Heads up. I have just recently seen this in action. Just take yourself out of the government school system.
>> The goal is to equalize outcomes based on race without regard for performance or merit.
Ergo, Obama's second term.
It is time to dispense with the archaic system used by professional sports that allows them to select players based upon ability to such an extent that it allows terribly out of balance racial makeup of teams.
All pro teams should be required to have 12% AA players. No more, no less. The same goes for the Olympics. This inequity must end NOW!
Sports are racist!!
Yes, that's what they used the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data to do back in the 80's and 90's - to find disparate impacts of mortgage rules. The DOJ back then used findings to stop bank branch expansions and mergers. Banks then loosened up lending practices and stuffed Community Reinvestment Act folders with tons of paperwork to show compliance. It marked the end of risk controls in mortgage lending.
I bumped into an old friend who is parttime professional in the medical field, and a fulltime teacher in DC. What he said about the quality of the black students (who are the uber-majority in most DC public schools), saddened me to no end.
He said that he couldn't teach these kids. Besides lacking learning skills, they have a welfare, govt-is-going-to-give-me-everything if they are pregnant, unemployed, on drugs, mentality.
They expect the government to take care of them so that they don't have to work.
Another friend, who taught in DC for several years, said the same thing. He was a big advocate of teacher-student collaboration on learning, but he said that with their backgrounds (no learning reenforcement at home (some exceptions), drugs, single parent homes/working mothers who don't have time for helping with homework, the gang-mentality of neighborhood youth, lack of decent role models in the family, neighborhood or DC government, etc), they don't stand a chance of succeeding as a group. Individuals will, but most won't unless there is a total makeover of the educational system and the leftist thinking that guides it now.
What a damned shame. Black kids are being kept in another form of "educational slavery", as well as helmed in by drugs, disfunctional families, led by crooked politicians, and operating under marxist ideological strategies (Bill Ayers as one of those marxist leaders in education).
Many of the Hispanics are beginning to mimic the Blacks re this welfare/entitlement mentality, which helps to explain why Obama got so many votes from both blocs.
I don't have many answers but my friends, who are abandoning the teaching field do. It is nothing less than a total makeover of our entire educational system, with an emphasis on the fundamentals of learning re core curriculum, making the students learn how to read, write, and speak properly, and instill the "work ethic" as something to be looked up to and lived by (despite razzing from their friends).
Unless these changes occur some, Obama and his marxists will be able to maintain an addicting plantation mentality on many groups in America, thus preventing them from ever rising above a mediocre, dependent, and/or criminal existence.
Well, I guess the confederates won the civil war, and they had the blacks help too, I wish I were in the Watchmen's universe!
And Republican voters can expect Boehner to declare whatever Obama does is "the law of the Land."
FYI: In case you want to segregate a list of links, I keyworded as many thread/articles I see where Obama Adm is quick out of the gate before anybody notices and can squeal.
Keyword "Obamabackinbusiness"
I planned to do so for the next couple of weeks, but given that we are moving into holiday season, and few will be paying attention, I suspect this will continue til the end of the year.

The 2011 Import and Export Market for Sparkling Wine in Germany
- May 2010
- Region: Germany
- 48 pages
- ICON Group International
On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on sparkling wine in Germany face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying sparkling wine to Germany? How important is Germany compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of sparkling wine vary from one country of origin to another in Germany? On the supply side, Germany also exports sparkling wine. Which countries receive the most exports from Germany? How are these exports concentrated across buyers? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers?
This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for sparkling wine in Germany. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for sparkling wine for those countries serving Germany via exports, or supplying from Germany via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models.
In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing where Germany fits into the world market for imported and exported sparkling wine. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for Germany in particular, is estimated using a model which aggregates across over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current year. From there, each country represents a percent of the world market. This market is served from a number of competitive countries of origin. Based on both demand- and supply-side dynamics, market shares by country of origin are then calculated across each country market destination. These shares lead to a volume of import and export values for each country and are aggregated to regional and world totals. In doing so, we are able to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of both the value of each market and the share that Germany is likely to receive this year. From these figures, rankings are calculated to allow managers to prioritize Germany compared to other major country markets. In this way, all the figures provided in this report are forecasts that can be combined with internal information sources for strategic planning purposes.
After the worldwide summary in Chapter 2 of both imports and exports of sparkling wine, Chapter 3 goes into detail on imports, but for each major country of origin serving Germany. A "major" market is defined as a country where Germany represents a substantially large share of either imports or exports. For each major country exporting to Germany, one can thus observe how important Germany is to that exporting country compared to other countries of the world. Chapter 4 does the same, but for exports of sparkling wine originating from Germany, for each major country of destination. In doing so, one can discover the share that Germany has in each major market; this share value is often used as a measure of competitiveness for Germany. In all cases, the total dollar volume and percentage share values by major trading partner are provided. Combined, Chapters 3 and 4 present a the total picture for imports and exports of sparkling wine to and from Germany to and from all other major countries in the world. "Sparkling Wine" as a category is defined in this report following the definition given by the United Nations Statistics Division Classification Registry using the Standard International Trade Classification, Revision 3 (SITC, Rev. 3). The SITC code that defined "sparkling wine" is 11215 . SHOW LESS READ MORE >

With ODD, I suffered some pretty awful baby blues the first few weeks that turned into postpartum depression/anxiety, culminating in severe baby blues for a week when I weaned her at 6.5 months. After that, and after my first period, it was like I returned back to normal pretty quickly. Only then did I recognize that I most likely should have sought treatment for everything with ODD. I attributed my PPD/PPA to all the extra weight I gained and couldn't lose while nursing, the bad birth experience where I was separated from ODD for three hours after my c-section, her not transferring milk and having to pump the first six weeks, etc. we hit a rough patch with sleep around the 3.5-4 month mark, so I sleep-trained, but I became obsessed with ODD's sleep, to the point that nothing else mattered. Of course, it means we have a beautifully sleeping daughter now who has slept through the night since about 7 months with solid naps to boot, but I did struggle with severe anxiety as we went through it.
This time around, I limited weight gain, worked out the entire pregnancy, had YDD placed on my chest as they were sewing me up from the section, had her in recovery with me where she latched perfectly, and I was on cloud nine the first week. I had a bunch of minor complications after the birth that made these first two weeks much harder than with my ODD, but I finally seem to be on the mend. We did develop thrush, which has me down in the dumps and brings back really bad memories from ODD (three rounds of thrush, constant sterilizing and gentian violet, etc). Also, YDD has a cold, which has meant worse sleep, more concern on her positioning to sleep, etc.
Anyway, I am really struggling emotionally. At about a week out, the baby blues hit and they hit hard. I wonder "what did we do? Our life was so nice, we had so much freedom with ODD being so much more grown-up, she is potty-trained, etc". Not to mention, I MISS my ODD. Because of the section, I can't pick her up for another 4 weeks. Because I'm EBF'ing, I seem to never get to spend time with her alone. I just want so badly to rewind the clock and do over the last month where it was just me and her. I look at YDD, and honestly, I don't feel as connected to her as I was when she was first born. My DH goes back to work tomorrow, and I'm scared I will fall apart.
I just need to know, are any of you going through this? If so, how are you coping? I don't eat, can't sleep because of anxiety, have diarrhea all the time, and I know these things make EBF'ing not sustainable.
I have a counselor who I have worked with the last month as a precautionary thing because of my last round of PPD. I see her tomorrow for the first time since the birth. I will definitely be asking her, and probably go on some type of medicine, but is anyone else in my shoes???

Posted on 09/12/2004 5:22:24 PM PDT by blam
Ancient pot with horse-taming picture discovered
www.chinaview.cn 2004-09-12 16:15:58
LANZHOU, Sept. 12 (Xinhuanet) -- Archaeologists in the northwestern province of Gansu discovered a 3,000-year-old pot with a design showing a scene of horse-pasturing in Minqin County recently.
The painted design shows a man herding eight horses. Some of these horses are bucking and some stand quietly; some have tails and some do not. All of the horses have large buttocks, slender waists and thin legs.
Surrounded by the eight horses, the wide-shouldered, slender-waisted man is in a long gown. His physique and dress are quite similar to those of ethnic people living in the horse-taming area,said Wang Haidong, Vice Chairman of the Gansu Provincial Painted Pottery Research Institute.
The pot, 22 centimeters high and 24 centimeters in diameter, has a pair of symmetrical handles on each side of its body and a sunken bottom.
It's body is painted with complicated pictures and images, and alternating black and red broken lines. The most eye-catching of these pictures is the image of the man and the horses.
This is the first time that ancient painted pottery with a horse-pasturing picture has been discovered in China, Wang said, adding that the picture indicates that horses were domesticated inChina as long as 3,000 years ago.
Previously, only ancient painted pottery with images of donkeys,sheep, dogs and pigs had been found in China.
The images of horses and drawing lines on the picture are similar to those from the Tang Dynasty (618-907), indicating that horse drawing skills used in the Tang Dynasty might have been borrowed from ancient pottery painting, said Wang.
Wang said discovery of the horse-pasturing picture was significant not only in the study of development of human beings and painted pottery, but also in the study of the history of traditional Chinese painting.
The discovery provides support for the idea that traditional Chinese painting originates from patterns on ancient painted pottery, Wang noted. Enditem
GGG Ping.
Maybe a keyword like GGG ("Gods, Graves, Glyphs") would be useful for these posts?
Wait till this turns into a WOsD thread...but an excellent read.
Horses were a source of food weren't they?
Dammit you beat me to it!
Sorry 'bout that.
As I recall in reading about indo-european language history, the region where Tocharian was spoken was in the neighboring province to the west of Gansu. Tocharian being one of the more ancient indo-european languages.
I also remember something about some archeological finds of tall red haired men wearing tartan kilts near here. I believe there are also some blue eyed Chinese in this area as well today.
None of these things fit well with "official" Chinese history, however.
I know horses; just about the time you get them trained to the pot, they leave home and take up with loose mares.
Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on, off, or alter the "Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list --
Archaeology/Anthropology/Ancient Cultures/Artifacts/Antiquities, etc.
The GGG Digest -- Gods, Graves, Glyphs (alpha order)
You are correct...I always forget, thanks.
Yes. Tocharian A & B is an ancient and extinct language and is most closely related to ancient Celtic.
"I also remember something about some archeological finds of tall red haired men wearing tartan kilts near here. I believe there are also some blue eyed Chinese in this area as well today. "
Yes again. Below is a link to a post that covers this subject. Also, The Han emperors green eyes were lamented in many Chinese poems. And, their magic men were reported to have had red hair.
The Curse Of The Red-Headed Mummy
"None of these things fit well with "official" Chinese history, however."
Correct. I've spent some time studying this area and I'm about ready to declare that at one time there were more Caucasian types in China than there were Chinese as we know them today. I've already said that I would Be the least suprised if/when they open the tomb of the first emperor, a tall red-headed guy is found.
www.chinaview.cn 2004-01-12 20:52:43
CHONGQING, Jan. 12 (Xinhuanet) -- Archaeologists in southwest China's Chongqing municipality have unearthed more than 20 pieces of brick reliefs from a tomb of the Eastern Han Dynasty (25 A.D.-220 A.D.).
Lin Bizhong, a noted archaeologist with the Chongqing MunicipalArchaeological Team, said this was the first time that bricks withmolded designs had been unearthed in Chongqing.
Previously, such tomb bricks had been excavated from Sichuan province, southwest China, and have been included as relics under state key protection.
Lin acknowledged that the brick-and-stone-structured tomb, from which brick reliefs were unearthed, had been robbed, so they did not find anything valuable in the tomb besides the bricks.
Designs on the bricks include horse-drawn carriages accompaniedby honor guards, the image of Fuxi, or the sun god in ancient China, and images of high-nosed and hollow-eyed people, who might be from varied ethnic groups or foreigners.
According to experts, designs of horse-drawn carriages with honor guards indicated that the tomb owner was of high social status, bricks with the image of Fuxi were important materials forstudying religion and culture at that time, and the images of foreigners reflected cultural exchanges between the East and West in Eastern Han dynasty.
Moreover, archaeologists also found traces of red color on these bricks and held that might be traces of color painting. End item
Would it be correct to call them nightmares?
"All-night" mares.
Apologies to Willie Nelson.
So what happened to the Caucasian / Celts? Wiped out, didn't procreate as fast, driven West, didn't like the smell 0f Chinese cooking?
Great. The face of Kerry's progeny shows up in China.
And on the other side of the pot the word "Glue"?
There are records of the Han that the Yuezhi were split, the Greater Yuezhi allied with the Han and the Lesser Yuezhi were driven back west. Most were eventually assimilated. The Chinese skeletons did not begin appearing in the region until around 100-200BC. The Uyghurs adopted the reconstructed image (known as 'The Beauty Of Loulan') of one of the mummies as the mother of their country and her image is now on their money and etc. The great wall was built to keep these people out of China...the wall didn't keep anyone out.
Paul Ratchnevsky quoted the contemporary Chinese Zhao Hong as saying that Genghis Khan differed from other Tartars in that he was tall and had long beard, and quoted Marco Polo as saying that Khubilai did have black hair but fair complexion 'ringed with red'. Rashid ad-Din, in 'Collected Chronicles', said that Genghis Khan was amazed to see that Khubilai had black hair while the rest of their family had red hair and said his grandson must have taken 'his old uncles' features.
Genghis Khan belonged to the Borjigid clan which was a branch of the Kiyats to which the Jurchens (Jurchids), Changsi'ut and the Kiyat-Sayar also belonged.
The importance of the Borjigids lies in the legend that after the death of Dobun-mergen, the alleged ancestress Alan-ko bore Bodunchar after being visited by a strange 'golden glittering man'. Rashid ad-Din alluded to a foreign origin of the visitor and described him as having red hair and blue-green eyes.
Paul Ratchnevsky speculated that the mysterious visitor could be a Kirghiz since the Kirghiz people were said to be tall and possessed red hair and green eyes.
Note that Rashid ad-Din's writings came from secondary sources and rumors and that Yuan Shi (History of Yuan Dynasty) only recorded that Bodunchar had grey eyes against the chestnut-colored eyes of his brothers and half-brothers. Nothing is mentioned of hair or skin of Bodunchar or Genghis Khan."
Most interesting.
BLESS YOU BLAM. Love this stuff.
The Beauty Of Loulan
Cherchen Man and a swastika emblem from these ancient sites.
She is a beauty! Interesting that the Swastika, defiled by the NAZIs, is / was a some what universal symbol
Thanks BLAM. As a numismatist of sorts, I gotta get me some of that pinup currency!
I was expecting a picture of a stoned horse.
I wonder about these recents finds in China, they're coming too thick and fast recently, gets my spidey-sense tingling -- are the Chinese trying hard to emphasise their middle-kingdom status?
I'm sorry blam, I would respectfully disagree with the theory that Caucasians originated from what is now part of Western China. Caucasians would have arisen from the swathe of land from the Black sea to the Eastern edges of the steppes in Central Asia, but any finds in the Gobi or beyond would have been just forays or foraging parties.
Can't argue...I'm just quoting Victor Mair and Elizabeth Barber.
I'm not firmly committed to this idea. I am prepared to see some old assumptions about origins fall though.
Charts are, afterall, just a representation of scholars' best conjecture. Some past linquists have declared Tocharian to be a Celtic language based on word and grammar similarities between Italic and Celtic. I believe most linguists today don't go quite so far, but they do associate the word and grammar similarities more closely with European language groups (Greek, Armenian, Baltic among others).
Remember, there is no existing language today called Proto-Indo-European, and there are no written records of that language. It has been reconstructed by examining word similarities between related languages. The closer the match, the later the languages split from one another. Tocharian A and B show a very ancient relationship with European languages and later influence by Indic languages.
It is still not a settled question and may never be, but it is interesting none the less.
Yes, Celts are Caucasian. I just didn't want to sound like I was saying Celtic to the exclusion of other Caucasians.
Based on language (if you define a Caucasian as being someone who is descended from speakers of Proto-Indo-European), I don't believe Semites are would be included. Semitic languages are not related.
Another definition of Caucasian is someone from the Caucasus region. On balance the evidence shows the earliest speakers of P-I-E were probably from the Caucasus.
The 19th century racial, i.e. skin color based, definition I agree should be scrapped. It makes much more sense to base a description of groups of human beings on language and common cultural and ethnic traits.

Trapped, by Kevin Hearne
Book Review by Joshua Palmatier
Have you read this book?
is the fifth book in the Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne. I read the first book in the series and was floored. It was fast-paced, humorous, and the Iron Druid concept was cool and something different for the urban fantasy field. The other books in the series were up and down, but all entertaining. This one is no exception.
In this book, we skip twelve years, to the end of Granuaile's training, Atticus' apprentice. She's ready to be bound to the earth. But Atticus discovers that he has to bind her on the European plate, and someone has managed to block all of his access to Europe except for an area around Olympus. At the same time, someone appears to have revealed the fact that he isn't dead, as nearly everyone believed, and once that secret's out, Atticus has numerous gods out to kill him. The fact that he has to bind Granuaile somewhere near Mount Olympus suddenly feels like a trap.
This book was again a fun romp as Atticus attempts to bind Granuaile, his trusty wolfhound Oberon helping them out, while dodging attacks from all of those out to get him. There's plenty of action, lots of magic, and some significant character development between Atticus and Granuaile as the book progresses. I didn't mind the twelve year shift in time, established in the previous book, although you don't really get a strong sense that that much time has passed at all, since none of the major characters really age at all, and of course the gods don't age either. So the twelve years is sort of shrugged aside. The best part of the book was the relationships between Atticus, Ganuaile, and Oberon.
The main reason I didn't give this book higher marks is because the conflict lacked any real strong focus, and most of those plot lines are left open at the end of the book. He has Bacchus after him, Loki, vampires, and dark elves. All of them have good reasons for wanting him dead, mostly reasons brought on by Atticus himself. We learn fairly early on that someone has orchestrated some of the attacks, but we never learn who in this book. Only one of the plot lines is really resolved, the rest put on hold, and even the one that's resolved sort of comes out of the blue. And the plot thread that ends the book is mentioned once early on and then left alone until the very end. And that plot thread appears to have been developed mostly in the "between" novella
Two Ravens and One Crow
only available in ebook format (which means I haven't read it).
So, all of this together made the book feel unfocused and unfinished. The more significant plot threads are left dangling and the ones resolved felt minor. And the book more or less ends on a cliffhanger, with an attack. Thus, the book is a bit unsatisfying overall. I still enjoyed it, and it moved some of the plot threads forward, but it still felt like a transition or set-up book, not a single story in itself. I'll be reading the next novel, of course. But I'm hoping it has a more satisfactory ending than this one.

Ashura: Mourning and Reform
I heard someone ask, "Why is the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) and the tragedy of Karbala considered a sad event?" Why aren't we joyous that the heroes achieved martyrdom and saved Islam? Is the purpose of Muharram to get sad or compete in mourning rituals?
"They should know that if a sentence creates a tremor in one's soul and attunes it with the spirit of Husayn ibn 'Ali and, as a result, one small tear were to come out of one's eyes, it is really a precious station. But tears drawn by the scenes of mere butchery, even if a deluge, are worthless." – Ayatollah Mutahari, in "Ashura: Misrepresentations and Distortions"
I heard someone ask, "Why is the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) and the tragedy of Karbala considered a sad event?" Why aren't we joyous that the heroes achieved martyrdom and saved Islam? Is the purpose of Muharram to get sad or compete in mourning rituals? I think these are valid questions and worthy of thought and not quick dismissal because they are honest and sincere questions.
I read that when the martyrdom of Imam Hussain approached, he acted as if he were invigorated and energized in battle knowing his time was near. It is reported that Qasim, upon hearing that the men would all be martyred, asked if he would as well, being a young teen. Imam Hussain asked him how he felt about it, and he replied that it was something he really wanted, to achieve martyrdom along with the adults. They all knew with confidence they were on the side of right and that martyrdom would be a good outcome for them. We also know through history that although they did die that they were the ultimate victors. They were the victors because they achieved their purpose. They never separated their acts from their active intentions. They never sought martyrdom as a merit in itself or an end in itself. If they had wanted martyrdom as an end in itself, they could have achieved it on many prior occasions. Rather, they understood that the worth of their martyrdom was in its purpose of standing against oppression and standing up for truth and upholding the true Islam for mankind till this day.
Yet we also read that Imam Sajjad (peace be upon him) mourned greatly throughout his life over the tragedy. If we love someone sincerely, then we feel the loss and pain as our own. So the sadness is an outcome of the love, and the love is the essence of what we really need – love for those close and dear to Allah and love for Allah himself – whatever imperfect love we are blessed with in response to Allah's perfect love.
We should feel grateful that the rightly-guided at Karbala made that sacrifice, and we should honor it through careful attention to real Islam in everything that we do to the best of our ability. But we should also feel pain at their sufferings that were very real. To make the sacrifices they made and to go through the trials they endured was very difficult. It is sad and shameful that it was necessary. It is sad and shameful that still the message is not heeded. If one imagines for a moment that a loved one has died to save another, would not one feel great sadness, loss, and sorrow even though the loss accomplished something good? What people are more beloved to the true followers of Ahlul Bayt (peace be upon them) than the Ahlul Bayt?
If one imagines a Muharram observance that takes joy as its means, the message of reform would be confused and lost over time. What is Muharram about if not reform – the reform that returns our actions to the pure active intention of fulfilling our ultimate purpose in existence. Imam Hussain showed us what reform is and how to live it and how to die in it. Surely that is what Muharram observance should be all about.
So whatever someone does that is permissible for observance of Muharram, be it of any type and any fervor, may Allah bless him with an attentive heart. Love Allah, love Ahlul Bayt, feel the love, and then act on it – not only in mourning or Muharram observance, but in self-reform in Allah's way.

Good point - though comments like the quoted one at the start often confuse me. The Ayatollah seems to suggest that we should be able to distinguish between crying at the idea of people being killed, and attuning with the spirit of Imam Husain. The implication of the Ayatollah's words - tears drawn by scenes of 'mere butchery' are worthless - is horrific. Is he suggested Allah would disregard these tears? That to feel some kind of sensitivity to a horrific slaughter is pointless if you aren't certain that you're experiencing some sort of deeper communion within your soul? I actually find the idea condescending, snobbish and incredibly un-Islamic - God asks us to take small steps towards him, promising to reward one with seven back towards us - he asks for effort and intention, not perfection. When I was younger, this quote would have made me too concerned to cry during an Ashura majlis, worried that I was hypocritically only upset by the 'mere butchery' and not properly attuning my spirit. I don't think crying at ideas of slaughter is ever worthless.
Joobah, I think you misunderstood. Ayatullah Mutahhari is talking about the spreading of fictitious narrations. Please read the text in full to better understand the context in which it was written: http://www.al-islam.org/al-tawhid/ashura/1.htm
I like how at the end they said Muharram is about reform. Inshallah this muharram I will ask Allah for his forgiveness and reform my self to be a better person and servant on Allah.

SPIEGEL Surfs the Web: Covering Magazines
Most of the time, magazine covers seem repetitive. How many scantily clad women does a newsstand really need? But some really stand out. The American Society of Magazine Editors has chosen the best 41 magazine covers of the last 40 years.
This cover is not among the winners. But the Economist wasn't left empty handed.
Remember the New Yorkistan cover on the New Yorker? Or the Vanity Fair cover shot of Demi Moore pregnant? How about the two copulating camels gracing the Economist in the mid '90s under the headline, "The Trouble with Mergers?" Of course you do. After all, they rank right up there with the best magazine covers of all time according to the American Society of Magazine Editors. The society chose the images -- part of its list of the 41 best covers over the past four decades -- at its 40th birthday celebration in Puerto Rico. What was the winning magazine cover you ask?

Is it Okay to Mourn Wallace & Grommit?
Under any other circumstance, this week would have been one of celebration for Aardman Animations in Bristol, England. The latest installment in the outrageously popular stop-action claymation animated film series "Wallace and Gromit" had just hit No. 1 at the US box office. But then Monday brought the worst news since the company's creation. A massive fire destroyed virtually every clay figure, film set, sketch and storyboard in Aardman's archive -- including the neurotic Brazilian jaguar from "Creature Comforts" and the sets of earlier Oscar-winning Wallace and Gromit shorts. Director Nick Park, the studio's creative genius, offered a typically understated British response. "In light of other tragedies," he said, like the Asian tsunami, "today isn't a big deal." Park's modesty aside, many are mourning the loss. For many animation enthusiasts, it would be the equivalent of George Lucas losing his "Star Wars" archive. "To have lost this material is a tragedy, especially as one of the wonderful things about Aardman was that they were so meticulous in archiving their material," British Animation Awards Director Jayne Pilling told the Guardian newspaper. Nor is Pilling alone: People all over the Web are mourning the loss, including German blogger Anke Gröner , who links back to an important message posted on the Guardian's own blog : The sets may be lost, "but everything we value about (Aardman Animations) is still there, right?" The studio says the fire will in no way affect production of its future films.

I had originally posted this over in general discussion, and gotten some good responses. After finding the Clyde forum, though, wanted to post over here as well to see if there are any clyde-specific issues that I need to take into consideration.
FWIW, I'm 6'4, 275.
My 3 kids pooled their money for father's day and bought me a "15 speed" Wal-mart mountain bike so that we can start riding as a family. Given that they spent their own money on it, and it was a big deal for them, I'm looking to upgrade the bike just enough so that I can safely tool around the neighborhood and some paved trails with them for 3-4 months before upgrading next spring.
I've read through the threads, and know that even tying to upgrade this bike is probably useless, but hopefully there's SOMETHING that can be done. I'm willing to accept a certain amount of throwing good money after bad given the situation.
Unfortunately, as is to be expected, the shifting is less than optimal, and both brakes work hardly at all.
So, what I'm looking for are recommendations for specific component upgrades that will get me through 3-4 months with it. Specifically, I was thinking new brakes, slicks (instead of the knobbies that are on there), and, maybe some help with the gears/derailleur. I know that a lot of the parts on the bike may not be standard sizes, but, hopefully, I can at least get it to the point that I can comfortably shift at least the back gears and stop when needed. Also, being a Clyde, wondering if I should go ahead and replace at least the rear wheel now, or wait until it has issues.
I went to my LBS last night for advice, but they indicated that they won't work on Mart bikes at all.

Brownfield Redevelopment
Contaminated sites, known as "Brownfields," may be cleaned up using loan funds (with flexible terms) from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The goal of the program is to assist in changing older, underutilized sites into revitalized and productive properties. The city of Aurora will use the $1.45 million to facilitate the cleanup and redevelopment of sites throughout the city and in targeted redevelopment areas including established urban renewal areas.
Program goals
1. Eliminate real or potential risks to public health and the environment.
2. Dispel Brownfield myths by educating property owners, developers and lenders about favorable trends in liability and regulatory policies; remediation technologies, timeframes and costs.
3. Facilitate site assessments, remediation planning, clean-ups and redevelopment.
4. Increase citizen awareness and participation.
5. Develop and promote insurance mechanisms and varied financing sources for cleanups.
6. Develop sustained pollution prevention practices among area businesses.

Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe accepts challenge from Ralph Nader to debate global warming
WASHINGTON — Sen. Jim Inhofe, the most vocal skeptic in Congress of man-made global warming, accepted a challenge on Monday from longtime consumer advocate Ralph Nader to debate a Massachusetts congressman on the issue.
A spokesman for Rep. Ed Markey, who headed a select House committee on global warming, said the Massachusetts Democrat was also up for the debate.
Nader's challenge came in a letter to Inhofe, in which he said, "For the past decade, I have been reading about your
"Your aversion to the climate change advocates has never flagged, to my knowledge … Clearly you are a man of your convictions on this subject. Just as clearly, Rep. Ed Markey is a man of his convictions on this topic."
Nader suggested a debate, preferably on Capitol Hill, with a mutually acceptable moderator.
Inhofe, R-Tulsa, who has made joint appearances with Markey on news shows to discuss global warming, said he would welcome the debate.
"I expect that, true to form, Representative Markey will want to focus on the so-called 'problem,' while trying to ignore the fact that their 'solutions' — whether they be the Kyoto treaty, cap-and-trade or regulations by the EPA — will just destroy our already ailing economy while having no impact on the climate," Inhofe said.
Eben Burnham-Snyder, a spokesman for Markey, said, "Congressman Markey would gladly discuss with Senator Inhofe the over 100 years of science that proves carbon dioxide and other global warming pollutants are raising the temperature of the Earth and changing the chemistry of the oceans."
