Movie title fail.
Checking out the poster a little closer today in Gwangju I noticed something.
1억 is 100 million, so 10억 would be one billion, as the digits indicate. Why the movie's English name is "A Million" isn't clear.
The poster above says coming in July, though the official website says August 6th.

Is it about a billion won? Which would be roughly a million dollars?

I'll probably never watch the movie, unless I find a DVD with English subs somewhere down the road, but it looks like a strange combination. Koreans in Australian competing for American dollars.
Weird, especially with the poster and promo materials. - July 23, 2009 at 10:17 PM

That's a thousand million.

At my taekwondo studio one wall is covered with posters from the past international tourneys. Fine, right? Except at least 5 tourneys in a row, the English and Korean for the women's tourneys didn't match. In Korean it reads "1st women's tournament!" and in English is reads "2nd women's tournament!"
This one-year off thing marches right along through the years. Nobody noticing and who-knows-how-many posters printed like this. La dee dah.
They also screwed up some other things. 1st and 2nd are right, but 3nd and 4nd? - July 23, 2009 at 10:42 PM

I noticed that too when i first saw the poster 2 weeks ago in Mudeung Cinema. They should proofread their materials before printing copies (unless they have a reason why they used the word "a million" alongside a number that has 9 zeroes)

Actually, I have to disagree with you on this one, Brian.
I think the English here clearly indicates: "A Million 1,000,000,000" or "A Million Billion".
Perhaps the easier title would have been "A Quadrillion," but it takes the fun out of Koreans saying "A Million Billion" or perhaps more erroneously, "A Million One Billion."
Ah, those silly Koreans. - July 24, 2009 at 1:14 AM

In Korean, when referring to money, 10 억, or 1,000,000,000, is used the same way we would refer to a million dollars or a millionaire. I'm pretty sure that the English name "million" would be trying to create the same mental image that the name conjures in the mind of the Korean viewer.

Nah, it's just a numerical fail. My students are always horrendous at translating high numbers, even the upper intermediate ones.

Stafford, I totally agree.
I wish the number 'one billion' actually made sense.
A million = 1,000,000 - six zeros.
A billion = 1,000,000,000 - nine zeros?
But, bi- (2/double/pair/twice/etc.) + million (six zeros) should be: 1,000,000,000,000 - a billion (double million) or a million million.
Unfortunately, it is now standard to call a thousand million (1,000,000,000) a billion. - July 24, 2009 at 10:45 AM

Maybe this will clarify a bit.
The long and short scales are two of the several different numerical systems used throughout the world:
Short scale is the English translation of the French term échelle courte.[1] It refers to a system of numeric names in which every new term greater than million is 1,000 times the previous term: billion means a thousand millions (109), trillion means a thousand billions (1012), and so on.
Long scale is the English translation of the French term échelle longue. It refers to a system of numeric names in which every new term greater than million is 1,000,000 times the previous term: billion (from bi and million) means a million to the power of two or a million millions (1012), trillion (from tri and million) means a million to the power of three or a million billions (1018), and so on.
For most of the 19th and 20th centuries, the United Kingdom uniformly used the long scale, while the United States of America used the short scale,so that usage of the two systems was often referred to as British and American respectively. In 1974, the government of the UK abandoned the long scale, so that the UK now exclusively applies the short scale interpretation in mass media and official usage.Although some residual usage of the long scale continues in the UK,the phrases British usage and American usage are no longer accurate nor helpful characterizations. The two systems can be a subject of misunderstanding or controversy. Usage changes can evoke resentment in adherents to the older system, while national differences of any kind can acquire jingoistic overtones.
Many countries, including most in continental Europe, use the long scale. There are other numbering systems which are neither long nor short scale such as the Chinese numbering system, the Indian numbering system, the Japanese numbering system, and the KOREAN numbering system.

As someone who has done quite a lot of subtitle work in the Korean entertainment industry, let me explain something you probably already know:
Translations can be direct or interpretive. In most cases, the English titles of foreign films are translated for easier cultural association and effectiveness. (If they're professional jobs, that is, which isn't always the case.) Take Park Chanwook's 박쥐, for instance. Which is a more-effective title: 'Bat' or 'Thirst'? Or how about 타짜? Does 'Tajja' work better on US audiences than 'Tazza: The High Rollers,' a title that provides American audiences with at least some context as to what the film is about?
So you can have direct translations or interpretive ones. Most of the time, I would agree that interpretive is the way to go. "A Billion" doesn't have the associative impact that "A Million" does. Just go to imdb.com and compare the number of movies with "billion" in its title to the number with "million." (I did it for you; the answer is 35 to 320.) In the end, though, that's a matter of opinion.
Skindleshanks was quite right when he wrote that in Korea 10억 is used much in the same way we use "a million," both associatively and financially. Therefore, the title isn't a "fail," as you, Brian, were a little too quick to call it. You can argue that you think "A Billion" is a better, more accurately translated title, and that's fine; but by the title of your post it's clear that you're ignorant of how movies are translated here and too hasty to point out that something is "wrong." Trust me, 'A Million' isn't the lazy or uninformed English title you were so quick to label it. - July 24, 2009 at 1:43 PM

Arvinsign and Sparkles - thanks for the info.
Arv. - I'd always wondered why the British and Americans used different numbering systems. At least I now understand the logic behind what was seemingly illogical.
Spkl. - it's nice to hear from someone doing a good job in the subtitle business - keep it up.
I think, though, considering how much awful translation that we see in Korea, it's understandable that some would see this as just another example.
I watch the Discovery Channel a lot, and I've seen a very wide range of quality in the of the interpretation. For instance, I appreciate the conversion of imperial units in American documentaries, as I am not familiar with some of them, to metric. I'm sure that means extra work, when it would be easier just to translate the amounts directly - 500 feet = 500 피트.
And (also relating to Discovery), I've been told by a highly educated, adult Korean student of mine that the (Korean) vocabulary is very difficult/obscure/technical and that she found it easier to ignore the subtitles and just listen to the English voice-over. So, I appreciate that it must be very difficult to interpret scientific English into scientific Korean - and do it well.
But, I've seen some inexcusable mistakes. There's a big difference between 15 and 50 - especially when it's a percentage. Also, and I know the way Koreans agree to a negative question with a 'yes,' I've seen subtitles that state the opposite of what was said.
I suspect that in subtitle work, like many other fields in Korea, there's a lot of pressure and a huge workload. Perhaps the interpreters are stressed out, overworked, and have very little time to check their work.
Perhaps Sparkles could give us the inside story - in your experience, is that the way it is? Do you know how other companies operate? Are my suspicions accurate?
I think the discussion on this post has been quite reasonable - going from laughing at something that seemed to be a silly mistake, to trying to understand and explain it. - July 24, 2009 at 2:34 PM
- Brian said...
Yeah, I'd like to learn a little more about the translation/subtitle field myself.
Thanks for the information, Sparkles, it was interesting to read.
I still think it's a questionable choice and juxtaposition, though, and could have probably been better rendered.
Schplook, I do recall seeing frequent numerical errors in the Discovery Channel subtitles. But I haven't seen them lately. Because they took away Discovery. But on Law and Order, CSI, etc., it's not uncommon. - July 24, 2009 at 2:42 PM
- Samuel said...
Brian is right.
No matter how you slice it, the translation of this number is not 'one million."
One million is the same in both British and American English.
1,000,000,000 is one billion in American English, and a thousand million to traditionally minded British people.
In any case, "The 'American' system is now standard use in British government publications, and is becoming the norm in many other languages."

the closest right term would be a "milliard" which is 1 followed by 9 zeroes or 1 X 10 to the power of 9 in notations.
so they can write it like this

• noun Brit., dated. one thousand million; a billion.

?If you are American, (a billion) is undoubtedly 1,000,000,000. This amount is known to traditionally minded British people as `a thousand million', and by some more adventurous ones as a 'milliard', though this word has not made as much headway in English as in some other European languages."

Samuel, I'm not arguing that 10억 or 1,000,000,000 doesn't equal one billion (or one thousand million), because that's clear. My point is -- and I hate to spell it out again for slow people -- that the Korean title of the film doesn't need to directly translate into English, and can in fact be more effective when it isn't.
Trust me, in most cases Korean film producers agonize over a movie's English title, and for good reason. This film will, hopefully, ideally, reach a wider market outside of Korea, in theaters and especially on DVD. There are a lot of politics and stupid translating decisions made vis a vis titling, most of them coming from within the television industry, but movie producers are increasingly realizing that their product will be scrutinized, and they have, in recent years, done a commendable job of separating themselves from one-off broadcasts in that regard.
Still, in too many cases a title's translation will never be agreed upon (see: The Bicycle Thief/The Bicycle Thieves). Sometimes it's the producers' decision, sometimes it's the director's (Park Chanwook, for example, successfully had 복수는 나의 것 changed from 'Vengeance is Mine' -- a direct translation but also the title of numerous other films -- to the unique 'Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance). In every case, however, there's a lot of thought put into it.
I agree with Brian that the title "A Million" looks horrible so close to the numeral 1,000,000,000, but, again, the title "A Million" is a good, reasonable interpretation of the film's title, 10억.
Trust me, you don't want direct-inaccurate translations of foreign film titles. At least I hope you don't. Because, personally, I'd rather watch 'Sympathy for Lady Vengeance' than 'Kind Ms. Geumja.'
Please let the professionals do their jobs, and refrain from the armchair quarterbacking. - July 24, 2009 at 9:36 PM
- Samuel said...
Well, I hate to spell it out again for retarded people, but here goes.
I have taken a translation course. It is impossible to translate French word for word into English, because one would just get a mess. When no exact translation will do, one tries to find an equivalent in the target language. So you are not telling me anything new.
However, there is an exact translation of this number, and it is a billion. Translators cannot assume what an author might have meant, but are rather constrained to be a literal as possible unless context tells otherwise.
Since there is no context on this movie poster, but rather just a number, I have no idea how you or a producer or a board of directors or their grandmothers can possibly know what the real meaning is. Unless you are a mind reader, then you must really be retarded. - July 25, 2009 at 4:29 AM
- Brian said...
I appreciate what Sparkles is saying about translating the idea, and I appreciate the insight he has into what they might have been trying to do. But, they really should have come up with a better English name. "A Million" doesn't really say anything about the movie, and isn't clearer than "A Billion." Moreover pairing "A Million" with 1,000,000,000 just looks stupid, and clearly I'm not the only one who noticed.
Of course, we have to wonder why there's a specific English name at all. It's a Korean movie coming out in Korea.
Explaining to somebody that "it means a billion won"---does it?---takes even less effort than explaining the cultural weight of "billion" in Korea, and can be done without having to cover up why they wrote A Million above1,000,000,000. - July 25, 2009 at 4:36 AM
- 데이빛 / Mithridates said...
Nah, "a million" is quite clear. Sparkles is right. Listen to someone say "He made a million last year" and nobody is going to ask "A million what?"
The only error here is putting the number so close to the English title, but the English title A Million is better than A Billion. Say billion and you usually begin thinking about population and government funding, whereas a million has stronger associations with money that your average person can access with enough work (or dishonesty). - July 25, 2009 at 3:17 PM
- 데이빛 / Mithridates said...
Also, one area where I think a direct translation wasn't all that helpful was choosing "The Good, The Bad, The Weird" as the title for 좋은 놈, 나쁜 놈, 이상한 놈. For English countries they should have just called it Nom Nom Nom.
- July 25, 2009 at 3:29 PM
- Samuel said...
Too bad there is no mention on the poster that "a million" refers here to money in English. The number might refer to people, or litres, or kilograms, or minutes. One persoon in Korea is one person in America. One million people in Korea is one million people in America. Ergo,... - July 25, 2009 at 3:31 PM
- 데이빛 / Mithridates said...
Right. It might have been better to call it "A Sweet Million" or something like that (depending on what kind of movie it is) to clarify it a bit. It's certainly not the best title, just marginally better than calling it A Billion. - July 25, 2009 at 3:47 PM

"I have taken a translation course."
Good for you. But you have two people who have actually worked/work in subtitling and translation telling you 'A Million' works better as a title.
You keep stressing that
translations should be as direct as possible, if possible, which just goes to prove how ignorant you are about translating. Should 친절한 금자씨 be 'Kind Ms. Geumja,' then?
"The number might refer to people, or litres, or kilograms, or minutes."

End of the day Korean movie english titles rarely ever match the original Korean title (vis a vis D-war or gwaemool). The poster is kind of funny when you know english and korean numbers and realize there's a mismatch. - July 25, 2009 at 9:34 PM

Everyone thinks they can translate just because their language happens to be English. Working as a translator for movies in Korea? Wow-- let me put that one on my resume.
"You keep stressing that

Nice straw man, idiot. Translation exist on a continuum, from the literal to the free. I never said that translation must be literal, but rather that context is needed to provide more information in order to translate.
Sparkles said:
"You can't really be that obtuse, can you? If you want proof that the title refers to money, watch the trailer."
You are an asshole, first, because you love to throw insults when I disagree with you. Go translate ad hominem.
Second, you have only proven my point about the movie title, by insisting that I need to see the trailer. So I need to watch the movie first before I can know what the movie is about? Ha ha-- now go take a logic class, you fucking moron. - July 25, 2009 at 11:42 PM

Sorry Samuel but you were being extremely obtuse. Sparkles was merely pointing out your argument required others to be as obtuse to accept it. It's not an ad hominem fallacy if it's true and relevant to the point.
Like why would a studio call a movie "Seven"? Gosh, shouldn't they make it clear in the movie it's about the seven deadly sins?
Not sure there's any rule that a movie title (Korean, English, or in translation) has to 100% spell out what the movie is about.

It looks like you two belong to the same book club. Yes it was an ad hominem. I also like your use of "merely" in the context of his insults. Laughable.
"Like why would a studio call a movie "Seven"? Gosh, shouldn't they make it clear in the movie it's about the seven deadly sins?"
Another non sequitur. The issue was not about naming per se, but rather about translating.

If you actually read my responses before responding, you would know my answer to that question.

Oh Samuel. English titles for Korean movies are rarely, if ever, translated. It's not about translation. That's kinda the point. I'm surprised you don't quite grasp that. Obtuse.

Nice backpedaling. We are not discussing all Korean movie titles, but only this one, so what Koreans do in other circumstances is irrelevant.

I am still looking for an argument beneath the appeals to emotion, gaps in logic, and poor writing.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2014 Hyundai Accent
By KBB.com Editors
Introduced in 1994, the Hyundai Accent led U.S. entry-level car sales from 2000-2005, mostly due to its value for the money and an aggressive warranty. Now that high fuel prices have this segment heating up, Hyundai's third-generation Accent will have tough new competition for 2008---Korean partner Kia's Rio, Honda's Fit, Nissan's Versa, Toyota's Yaris and Chevrolet's upgraded Aveo---but it still should continue to be up to the task.
If an ultra-practical and affordable subcompact is your next vehicle purchase, you'll appreciate the 2008 Hyundai Accent's value, which includes numerous safety features, a long warranty and unusual availability of accessories. If your driving aspirations are bigger than your budget, you should also appreciate the SE three-door's sporty look and surprisingly responsive handling and cornering capability.
If you want something a bit more expressive, especially in a four-door sedan, or prefer a Japanese or domestic brand, you should take a good look at the Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris, Nissan Versa and the surprisingly competitive new Chevy Aveo.
All models gain a three-month free subscription to XM Satellite Radio, a tire-pressure monitor system and an auxiliary audio input jack (late availability). SE models with the manual transmission receive a sporty B&M Racing short-throw sport shifter.
Driving Impressions Hyundai's 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine generates 110 horsepower, but it's hardly a strong performer. Driving the optional four-speed automatic in our test GLS sedan, it managed zero-to-60 mph acceleration in a...
bit over 13 seconds. By today's standards, that's on the slow side. The SE three-door with the manual five-speed transmission can do it in about 11 seconds. Also, like most small engines in inexpensive cars, it's a bit noisy and thrashy at high rpm. Otherwise, our GLS rode and drove fairly well and scooted through turns with surprising response. Despite its eight manual adjustments, the driver's seat did not provide a really comfortable position for us, and its rearward adjustment was insufficient for our longish legs. The cloth-lined trunk is relatively roomy and the rear-seat pass-through is handy, but rear roominess is just par for the class.GLS Handling
We were pleasantly surprised with the steering and handling of our Premium Package-equipped test GLS on its available 15-inch tires and alloy wheels, and the sports-oriented SE three-door does even better on its 16-inch tire-and-wheel package.
Hyundai Warranty
An extra-long warranty is one thing an automaker can offer to improve buyer confidence and Hyundai's is one of the best, with five-year/60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper and 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain coverage that's matched with impressive quality improvements.
The Accent's interior materials are consistent with its price: Generally inexpensive but with attractive textures and two-tone trim. Among the least-appealing items is the central swing-open bin that's shaped like an ashtray but isn't; the actual ashtray is an odd removable cup that sits atop the console. The radio is an easy-to-use unit with large knobs for volume and tuning, while the three-dial HVAC controls are attractive and have a quality feel---except for a too-stiff temperature dial.
ExteriorWhile the SE three-door is sporty and expressive, we think the Accent sedan is pretty plain vanilla. Its design is clean, functional and fairly aerodynamic, but hardly exciting. The best part is probably up front, with large wide-eyed headlamps, a full-width lower air intake and distinctive grilles---a body-color bar across the three-door models, a black-out pattern on the four-door. One nice touch is a body-color protective molding along each side to fend off shopping carts and help prevent door dings.
The modest GS standard-equipment list includes power steering, tilt steering column, eight-way manually-adjustable driver's seat, 60/40-split rear seat, cabin air filtration, tachometer, variable intermittent wipers and a rear spoiler. The SE adds air conditioning, power windows and locks, power mirrors, 172-watt six-speaker audio with CD, remote keyless entry with alarm and panic alert, fog lights, sport suspension, four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and 16-inch alloy wheels. The GLS sedan has base GS equipment plus air conditioning and the 172-watt six-speaker audio with CD, but needs an optional Popular Equipment Package to get ABS brakes and the power items. All models boast extensive standard safety equipment, including seat-mounted side airbags and roof-mounted side-curtain airbags, in addition to advanced front airbags.
Optional on the SE are a power sunroof and ground effects kit. A Popular Equipment Package for the GLS includes ABS, power windows, locks and mirrors and remote keyless entry, while an available Premium Package adds all that plus 15-inch alloy wheels. A four-speed automatic transmission is available on all three models, and there's a long list of (mostly sports-oriented) port- and dealer-installed accessories.
Hyundai's 1.6-liter four has dual overhead camshafts, four valves per cylinder and CVVT (continuously Variable Valve Timing) on the intake side. It generates 110 horsepower and provides a very respectable 24/33 EPA miles per gallon when teamed with the optional automatic in the GLS sedan.
1.6-liter in-line 4
110 horsepower @ 6000 rpm
106 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4500 rpm

"The Accent is great for several reasons: Great gas mileage, small tank = small fill-ups, and very easy to drive, among others. My previous vehicles sucked up gas and were not nearly as agile as this little car. It's pretty roomy for such a small vehicle, and has plenty of space in the hatchback trunk, believe it or not. I decided to take it out and try to use all the fuel after filling up at the dealership. It took somewhere around 300 miles to empty it, and when I filled up at the gas station, I was shocked to have a gas bill below $30. Definitely a nice car!"

This car lacks pick-up on the mountains and I felt like I had semi's passing me but around town, it was fabulous and it got great gas mileage. It is extremely lightweight and I always worried if I crashed it that it might just fold up and kill me. Two weeks ago I fell asleep at the wheel and rolled her over twice before slamming into an embankment and I walked away without an injury.

"I've always wanted a hatchback, and in the two years I've owned this car have been VERY happy with it. It is affordable and gets average 30mpg (and I live in the CITY, would be more on highway driving). It's also been reliable regarding repairs. I've only seen the check engine light once, and it was to replace some belts and the gas cap. For what I need now, it is a perfect little car. Downside: interior design is not that great, not legroom in the back although that's to be expected, and it has a CD player that is difficult to change out for cassette or mp3. Who uses CDs anymore?"

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 84,000
overall rating 10 of 10rating detailsPros: "economy, performance, usefulness"
Cons: "plastic interior, but normal for this price range"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"This has been a fun car to drive and a great car to own. I purchased it in Wichita, KS with MANUAL transmission for the 30+ mpg when I moved outside of town to live and commute 1+ hours one way hiway driving from Hutchinson, KS vs my old truck at 18 mpg. It paid for itself then. I moved from Wichita to Hutch using it as a truck by folding down the rear seats. My current commute is a metro commute across Tucson, AZ 16 miles one way but 40 minutes stop and go. I also hang a bicycle on the back as I added a trailer hitch and bike rack. Currently have 84k miles on it and it runs like a top. Only needs regular maintenance trips (oil/filter) minus a coil at $80k miles, very low cost maintenance overall. I LOVE THIS CAR. It's paid for and I cannot justify replacing it nor do I desire to."

RE: Scotten Cemetery
We also have Scotten/Scotton families in Sugar Creek Cemetery in Hancock County and I think Burris Cemetery also. I found the name spelled both ways when researching this family. I don't think that these people are in any way related to me/my husband. I just research the lines when I work with a pioneer cemetery because the people buried in them typically have some type of connection.

RE: Boice Cemetery
The uncovered stone for Abraham Boice is located in St Paul's Cemetery in Geigertown. I had not uploaded the memorial indicating this information on Abraham's record on Findagrave, but have done so now for you to view.
I do not know the circumstances as to why they were removed from the Boice Burial ground to St. Paul's. Often remains are moved to make way for new construction or things like that. I don't know where the original Boice Family Cemetery was located ... do you?). St. Paul's was probably chosen because the Wells family were from that area. I also have some distant (non-direct) Wells connetions.
As it happens, I will be helping with a Boy Scout project in St. Paul's Cemetery this coming Saturday, so I'll see if I can find anything more.

I really appreciate the Obit from the Cuba Tribune. Thank you for sending it; I have added it to her memorial.
Do you have any information about her parent's names? It would be nice to add Family Links to them, if they are listed in FindaGrave, that is!
As a little boy, I spent a lot of time in Cuba and knew some Shimek's but do not remember their first names; it had to be some of her children because I was only 3 years old when she died!
Thank you for your help.

Henry Olders, an assistant professor of psychiatry at McGill University in Montreal who conducts sleep research, explains.
Most people encounter sleep difficulties from time to time, often related to stress or pain. Many of these bouts get better without treatment. Unfortunately, in a significant proportion of the population, sleep problems turn into insomnia, which is defined as the chronic inability to fall asleep or to enjoy uninterrupted sleep. Some research suggests that attitudes about sleep, and the sleep patterns and behaviors prompted by these attitudes, make certain individuals vulnerable to chronic insomnia. The good news is that behavioral treatments are highly effective.
Just how big a problem is insomnia? The National Sleep Foundation surveyed more than a thousand adults in 2002. Thirty-five percent said that, every night or almost every night of the previous year, they had at least one out of these four symptoms: difficulty falling asleep, waking a lot during the night, waking up too early and not being able to get back to sleep, or waking up feeling unrefreshed. About 15 percent of the survey group reported taking either a prescription sleep medication or an over-the-counter sleep aid at least a few times a month. A study of the Canadian population found that 24 percent of people ages 15 and older reported insomnia, defined in this study as a "yes" response to the question "Do you regularly have trouble going to sleep or staying asleep?" Some of the factors associated with insomnia in this study included being female, being widowed or single, having a low education level, low income, unemployment, smoking, life stress, physical health problems, and pain or activity limitation. Although age did not seem to be a factor in this survey, other studies have shown that insomnia increases with age. For example, 4 percent of a sample of older European adolescents met criteria for insomnia disorder as defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, 4th edition (DSM-IV) of the American Psychiatric Association. Compare this to a group of 330 elderly patients in a family practice, in which 57 percent met criteria for DSM-IIIR insomnia disorder. What¿s worse, insomnia is not a benign problem. Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep is associated with an increased risk of dying in the elderly. Many elderly insomniacs take naps during the day; in addition to making insomnia worse, naps are related to higher mortality in this age group.
Although many people believe that psychiatric disorders such as depression and anxiety cause insomnia, the reverse may actually be true. The National Institutes of Mental Health Epidemiologic Catchment Area study found the risk of developing a new depression was 39.8 times higher for insomniacs than for those without sleep problems. Other research, however, suggests that too much sleep--in particular too much rapid eye movement (REM) sleep--can bring on a depressive state. We can reconcile these two seemingly incompatible findings by asserting that insomniacs who become depressed are getting too much sleep. Unfortunately, this flies in the face of conventional wisdom that holds that insomniacs are sleep-deprived.
Whereas many people with difficulty sleeping believe that they¿re not getting enough sleep (an opinion shared by a number of sleep researchers), evidence is mounting that people with insomnia are in fact getting at least as much sleep as they require, and possibly more. What is known is that insomniacs tend to get into bed early, stay in bed late, sleep during the day, spend more time in bed than non-insomniacs, and that they underestimate the amount they actually sleep even though they sleep as much as those people without insomnia. The amount of daytime sleep a person experiences is directly related to overall sleeping problems. Finally, voluntarily extending sleep is known to cause insomnia. Conversely, reducing time in bed is a very effective treatment for sleeplessness. Thus the hypothesis that primary insomnia is caused by attempting to sleep more than you need.

Volume 36, Number 14 Weekly Summary for May 13-May 19 Issued May 20, 2013 Severe Weather Swept Across the State Severe weather moved through the state Sunday night, with reports of large hail, damaging winds and multiple tornados. Heavy rains fell in central Oklahoma, resulting in highway flooding and limited visibility in some areas.

Temperatures across the state averaged in the mid - to low 70's. Precipitation averaged nine tenths of an inch for the week but varied considerably.

The Obama administration is searching through incoming intelligence reports to look for specific evidence to confirm that veteran jihadist Moktar Belmoktar was killed in a raid by Chad's military in Mali, a senior U.S. official told CNN Sunday.
"We don't have enough evidence to support the claim" made by Chad, the official said.
But he emphasized that the United States is not dismissing the claim. "We want to have a level of certainty about it before we say it's true, and we are not there yet," the official said.

This route is across the creek from Anarchy Wall. Hardly ever done, this route packs quite a punch for the 12c it's given in both guides. Start with a big or tricky move to good holds and move up to the third bolt on good holds, then head up the meat of the route with no opportunities for rest until you clip the chains. There's a bit of a runout between the third and fourth bolt (that's why I give it a PG-13, especially while hanging draws), so be attentive here.
This route is by itself across the creek from Anarchy Wall. From the parking lot, look directly across the creek and identify the ar�te that is Cool Thing.
6 bolts, bolted anchor.
Just wondering who else has done this thing...seemed ridiculously sandbagged at 12c, so wanted to post it and see if others agree. It's probably on par with things like Finger Prince, Chaos, etc. If anyone has a differing opinion on the grade, then enlighten us all.
Nice, Adam. I never made it over there, so had little clue of the grade as well. Is the water low right now? Or ice bridge?
The water is super low and temps have been in the 70s for a while. Really great route though! More people should wade over there and do this thing.
Sure sounds like a cool thing!
Went over and checked this rig out yesterday, very very fun climbing, surprised it has not gotten more attention. It is chalked and cleaned and fun, as for the grade, it's probably 12d soft 13a, which is awesome.
Sweet! Nice, Matt, I agree, more people should definitely go climb on this thing. The rock quality is great, especially for not ever seeing any action and the movement is really fun. One of those hidden, obscure gems in CCC.

Forums >Running 101>Picture will not save to my avatar!!
Dad on the run.
Trying to save a picture to my avatar and it will not load the pictures. Just a box with a big red X through it. Am I doing something wrong?
My parents said I could be anything when I grew up, so I decided to be Awesome!
Assuming you've got the avatar uploaded with no errors ?
Options -> My Forum Preferences -> Browse to photo --> Save
There can be a brief time lag between when you hit Save and the server gets the avatar re-sized and in place. Also your browser can cache the old pages, so tell it to refresh (F5 for most browsers). That or close your browser completely and come back to RA and see if the update is there.

And, assuming the avatar isn't a big red X...
Good point...forehead slap #23 for today.
haha, not its not a big red X. Its actually a picture of my two Boxers, however when I browse to folder save/update it kicks me back a page and my avatar picture still isn't showing up.
Moron moment of the day, I was trying to do it under my profile and saving picture thinking that was for my avatar.... go ahead with #24 facepalm if you would like, sometimes I really worry about myself.
Hey, no worries. I often wondered why after changing my profile picture it didn't change, only to realize I had to force a refresh of the browser so the cache would get reset.
LOL, I can't tell you how many times i did that.

Under Profile is your profile pic which people only see if they actually click on your name in an effort to stalk you learn more about you. And assuming you have made your profile public, which most of you have not.
Under Forum Preferences is your avatar which is what you can inflict on people whether they like it or not.

Dingo (Tails) Tales - Part 1
3 June 2005
G'day everyone, there is music in the air and our very talented dingo girls are keen to join in. As we know dingoes don't have a distinct bark like our domestic dogs do when they say hello to the postman.However they do sing a beautiful song by lifting their nose to the sky and howling. Here at Australia Zoo the keepers enjoy their songs but also have a giggle because most of the time we hear them sing it's to accompany a fire engine's siren going past the Zoo.
Teyha and Kiah decided they wanted to expand their musical career and what better Aussie way to do this but to give an authentic aboriginal didgeridoo a go. The only problem was they had the wrong shaped mouth, but they had lots of fun trying. Maybe next time we'll try a dance routine.
Until next adventure make sure you have a howling good time.
From the rovers at Australia Zoo.
