Why Capaldi's Previous Appearances Shouldn't Really Matter
Guest contributor Elliot James explains.
Since his casting, we've heard on numerous occasions that Series 8 will offer an explanation for the fact that Peter Capaldi has appeared several times before in the Whoniverse; as Caecilius in The Fires of Pompeii, John Frobisher in Torchwood: Children of Earth and now as the Doctor himself. When it comes to this 'issue', there seems to be two sides among us Whovians; the yes-we-absolutely-need-an-answer side, and the not-too-bothered-but-it'll-be-interesting-to-see side. For me, I am on the latter side – I'm not opposed to a well-founded explanation, but I don't really see the reason to make a big deal out of it, and in this article I hope to show you the reasoning behind my opinion.
"I remember this… Almost remember."
Let us not forget that this has happened before. Colin Baker appeared in Doctor Who as Commander Maxil in the 1983 serial Arc of Infinity, a year before he himself took up the role of the Doctor. Karen Gillan also starred in The Fires of Pompeii alongside Capaldi, and then was announced to be the Eleventh Doctor's companion in the year after. The actress Chipo Chung played Chantho, Professor Yana's assistant, in the Series 3 episode Utopia before returning in the next series as the fortune-teller Donna encounters in Turn Left. Alexander Armstrong voiced Mr Smith in the Sarah Jane Adventures and the Series 4 finale of Doctor Who, before returning (although as a human this time) as Reg Arwell in the 2011 Christmas special. Julian Bleach played the 'Ghostmaker' in an episode of the second series of Torchwood, and then played the part of Davros in Doctor Who's Series 4 finale, The Stolen Earth/Journey's End, before making it a hat-trick and playing the 'Nightmare Man' in the fourth series of the Sarah Jane Adventures back in 2010 – equalling Capaldi's 'collection' of three Whoniverse characters.
Now whilst all but the first are admittedly less of a problem as their facial appearances are different for each of the roles they played, these numerous coincidences, alongside Mr.Capaldi's, prove that in the world of television and of Doctor Who, these things can be quite common and it is not unheard of for an actor to return as a different character in the same show.
"Don't worry; I started a very long time ago."
The fact that it has happened before isn't the only reason why this shouldn't really matter. Peter's first appearance in The Fires of Pompeii was 6 years ago, and his appearance in Torchwood: Children of Earth was 5 years ago. Naturally, he would have aged slightly over the years, meaning that whilst he is still recognisably the same person, he won't look like an identical image of the characters he has played before. Combine this with the fact that the Twelfth Doctor has a costume that is quite different from Caecilius' robes or Frobisher's glasses, suit and tie, and you can see that all three characters generally look different. Their respective costumes show that they are from different time periods and/or different places, to the extent that they can be seen by a viewer and be immediately recognised as separate characters.
We also know that Capaldi's Doctor will be darker and less approachable, and whilst he hasn't fully appeared on our screens yet, I think it is clear to say from what we have seen that all three characters will also have differing personalities and mannerisms. This, for me, seems to contradict the popular theory that all three characters are the same person (the Doctor), as they all behave quite differently and make different decisions and judgements of a situation. Despite not seeing the new Doctor onscreen yet, I wouldn't think that Twelve, even if he is darker than we think he will be, would agree with some of John Frobisher's decisions. Likewise, I don't think Caecilius, with his bumbling personality, would have the mindset of the stricter, less caring Twelfth Doctor we will shortly meet.
"You forgot! Four hundred years, is that all it takes?"
My final point is perhaps my biggest point, and like the above paragraph, it's also to do with the progression and effects of time. Not counting his cameo in The Day of the Doctor or the closing scene of The Time of the Doctor, it has been five years since his last appearance in the Whoniverse, and six years since his first. Had he have played a different character only last year, then I may not be writing this article; my previous point about his appearance wouldn't really be as applicable and his previous role would still be fresh in the audience's mind. Whilst us Whovians who were watching in 2008 and 2009 may remember back then quite well, five years is a fairly long time, certainly long enough for new viewers to come in and casual viewers to forget. Spending a decent amount of time going back into the history of the show may confuse and seem unnecessary to those viewers, and could also use up valuable episode time (and production costs) that could be better spent on new adventures. The show has a new Doctor, and a new direction, and I think that Moffat and the team of writers will be aiming to look forwards, not backwards, for Capaldi's first series.
"What's the mad fool talking about now?"
Okay, I'll stop with the The Day of the Doctor quotes. Now, don't get me wrong; like I said at the start of this article, I'm not opposed to the show coming up with a clever explanation for this, so long as it doesn't seem forced or too massive. I'm actually quite interested in seeing what this explanation could be, but the point I'm trying to make is that I don't feel that a big, detailed and timey-wimey explanation like some may want is really needed. I believe that we could get on quite fine without one – I think the reasons I've touched upon in this article are enough to dismiss this issue as a coincidence of the world of television, and not much else. As I mentioned before, I wouldn't really want the explanation to be too much of a plot point in either an episode or to become a story arc, and instead a throwaway line or two that gives a good idea of an answer but not necessarily set it in stone would do quite nicely, in my opinion.
Of course, these are just my thoughts, you might be in agreement with all of this, some of this, or you might be resting your head on your keyboard in despair because I'm talking complete rubbish – regardless, let me know what you think in the comments!

Don't forget Peter Purves appearing as two characters in the same story.
I personally don't have any problem suspending my disbelief and actually prefer unimportant enigmas such as this to remain unanswered.
It helps the program retain it's sense of bizarre intrigue, one of the elements which I believe have contributed to it's enduring popularity throughout the years.
Although not quite the same, I feel the Darth Vader back story told in the woeful Star Wars prequels is an example of explaining far too much. The mystery of the character was completely destroyed, taking with it much of his menace.
I would have been quite happy forever wondering why he needed scuba gear on dry land...
I have yet to see a whovian on the yes-we-absoloutly-need-an-answer side.
To be honest. No one is taking it seriously and the only people who think it'll be made a big thing of is the fans. The cast and crew (Especially Moffat) have stated otherwise. It is just going to be a small thing to explain why the 12th Doctor looks like Caecilius or John Frobisher. Just like they did with Martha and a few other characters. It's just since this is The Doctor we're talking about and since it's 2 previous instances of a character played by Capaldi, it'd be nice to have an explanation, which they have said will be a light explanation anyway. The idea is there, they have the story set up, it'll probably be wonderful anyway. I don't see why it matters if they do it or not.
Am I the only one that has actually read into this? It ISNT an explanation hastily made by Moffat. The idea was created five years ago by Davies. The idea ISNT based on Twelve, as it wasn't made for the Doctor in the first place. He's just included now.
Moffat heard Davies's idea and decided to go through with it, so it really has NO BASIS on Capaldi being Twelve.
Thank you to DWTV for publishing my article! It was the first one I've written for the site, so I was overjoyed to see it on here last night.
I'd also like to thank everyone who left a nice comment here, I've read them all and I really appreciate the compliments!
Again, this is just my opinion and I know not everyone will agree, and of course I completely respect and understand everyone's views on this. Some people have said that just because it shouldn't really matter, it doesn't mean it can't - and I totally agree. Like I mentioned in my conclusion, I'm looking forward to the explanation, as with both RTD and Moffat's ideas combined I'm sure it will be brilliant, clever and quite original, but the point I was trying to make was that this issue could be left unexplained as it is, and so when we get the explanation I don't think it should be shoehorned into the plot just because the writers feel they need to include one - I'd rather have no explanation at all than one that feels forced and not quite right.
But again, thank you for all your comments, it was great to write this article and to see everyone else's views on this matter, and I hope to write some more articles in the future! :)
I really enjoyed this article very much, loved the style of writing too. I wanted to talk a little bit about my paranoia surrounding the new series. Do we all think that Peter Capaldi is in fact playing the actual Doctor? Is it possible he is 'possessed' by someone/something which causes him to be dark and mysterious? If he is then I hope this series is about how he shakes this off and becomes the Doctor proper. These are just my thoughts. As I say, its paranoia I'm sure, but why does Capaldi insist on referring to his character as 'Doctor Who'? Maybe he's doing it on purpose because he's not playing the Doctor? Argh... Someone put my mind at ease!
Great article. I too aren't that bothered about Capaldi being in Who before. To me it's just one of those things. Again, like you, I'm intrigued by what they will come up with as an explanation though.
My personal theory is this (it's a work in progress that I only started thinking about yesterday): I think the Doctor gets his faces from some sort of limbo for lost souls seeking redemption and he now has the face of John Frobisher. Not sure how that ties Caecilius into it. Maybe he's simply an ancestor of John Frobisher.
No one said that it absolutely had to be explained. The only reason anyone is talking about it is because Moffat said he's planning on explaining it. So what's the point of all this "It's happened before, no one should care" stuff? We know that. It's being discussed because it's fun to make theories about how it will be explained. What's all the complaining for?
Better not to explain it in my view. One of the most ridiculous - and unnecessary scenes in Doctor Who history was the attempt to explain Romana's new appearance in Destiny of the Daleks. There is simply no need. Virtually no casual viewers will even notice that he was in the show before - and the nerds like us will accept it as a curiosity - no more.
Great article! Personally I'm in the same camp as most seem to be: not that bothered but interested none the less. Also, is this becoming a trend now? characters having multiple faces and lives? First there were Clara's popping up everywhere, now Capaldi's, in the next Series there'll be Steven Moffats appearing all over time and space!
I agree with you completely. I don't think is necessary to explain, but we'll probably get an explanation, whether we like it or not. I for one think that any explanation, be it a short, subtle or a long, contrived one, will not be satisfactory. I just don't see WHY, when these coincidences have never been explained before today.
You forgot Gwen Cooper, Martha Jones and Wilfred Mott. All 3 have played more than 1 character on the show.
since the doctor may very well have skipped his regen class at the academy, so he cant control his regens as other timelords can maybe he gets his faces by chance. I guess anyone he has ever met or heard about can be used. I think faces from other humanoid races might be used as well. I dont think it really matters
I don't really care if they explain it of not. If it's a good explanation, go for it, but I wouldn't be bothered if it went ignored.
I don't mind that they're explaining it, as long as it isn't too contrived or complicated. I'm fine with an answer, but making a whole story about it would just be a waste of time. Because I agree: it doesn't matter.
I recently rewatched Fires of Pompeii and noticed just how different Capaldi looks. In fact, if I hadn't been told they were the same person, I might not have even noticed! Put a picture of The Doctor and Caecilius together, and you'll see the difference. Frobisher looks more like The Doctor, but he's not as well-known because he's in a spinoff that the majority viewers haven't seen. Besides, just one person who looks identical (but with a different accent and getup and everything) can easily be passed off as a quirk of the universe. Probability states that in a universe so big, two people must look alike. The Doctor and Frobisher aren't even the same species, so it's possible that the universe simply repeated itself.
Furthermore, Pompeii was over a millennium ago for the Doctor. Who's to say he even remembers the event well enough too recall that a certain man had a similar face? If he forgot how many children died in the Time War after 400 years, he will forget a man's face in 1000.
The matter really doesn't need an answer. If Moffat has a good explanation that doesn't take too much time, then I'm fine with it. But Commander Maxil is a far bigger "problem." (though the Doctor becoming him could be some Time Lord conspiracy. We know the High Council was pretty corrupt at the time)
I fall into the latter category as well. I never saw this as a real issue as this obviously isn't the first time actors have played multiple roles in the show. But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't interested in seeing the show address something like this. The only time something like this was addressed in-universe before this was when the character Freema Agyeman played in the Series 2 finale was later identified as Martha Jones's cousin in "Smith and Jones".
An excellent article, and one that I think represents my views perfectly. I'd also add the possibility of it leaving other repeat appearances feeling out of place - if we simply can't make do with a "we just want that actor again" explanation.
The Classic Era reused actors like there was no tomorrow, there was Bernard Horsfall (The Mind Robber, The War Games, Planet of the Daleks and The Deadly Assassin) and Peter Miles (Doctor Who and the Silurians, Invasion of the Dinosaurs and Genesis of the Daleks) for example, and we've seen actors who appeared in the Classic Era reappear post revival such as Geoffrey Palmer (Doctor Who and the Silurians, The Mutants and Voyage of the Damned) and Christopher Benjamin (Inferno, The Talons of Weng-Chiang and The Unicorn and the Wasp). I just don't see why it should be an issue now, though I am intrigued to see how it is explained.
I really like this articles subtitles: very well thought of
Don't know if the list was meant to be exhaustive or just an example but: Martha.
"Whilst us Whovians who were watching in 2008 and 2009 may remember back then quite well, five years is a fairly long time, certainly long enough for new viewers to come in and casual viewers to forget. Spending a decent amount of time going back into the history of the show may confuse and seem unnecessary to those viewer".
The number of times people bring up this idea of catering to casual viewers is just baffling to me. It's clear that people on here don't really understand how TV works. If you don't watch the show every week, then nobody cares about you. Casual viewers don't matter. If TV started catering only to casual viewers TV would cease to exist. Every week Doctor Who would have to explain everything all over again just to make sure a casual viewer wasn't lost.
I just hope it'll be a better explanation than "she was Martha's cousin". That's not an explanation at all, and it actually annoyed me that they bothered to draw attention to it in that way. I'll be happy with a good explanation, but I'd rather have none at all than a rubbish one.
In the episode where this is revealed I wonder if RTD will be credited for it
I am one of them, as Russell had this idea five years ago, so for Moffat to use it now must mean it's amazing! We need that answer as to why there were two (and now three) Capaldis in the universe.
@Tardis Stowaway Yep I look forward to reading more. Was checking to see if you'd written any previous articles - didn't realise this was your first. Excellent job.
@Tardis Stowaway you really should :-) I'll be looking forward to your next one.
We've disscussed this, Clara is the real Doctor, its obvious. Capaldi is either the Master, or this Rani or Omega I keep hearing things about...
"I just don't see WHY, when these coincidences have never been explained before today." -Except when they have been, of course, like with Freema Agyeman and Eve Myles, and Lalla Ward.
Nah, Wilf only ever played the one part. He was originally meant to be a different character in "Voyage of the Damned", but RTD made it more interesting by making him Donna's grandfather after the actor who played her father passed away.
It isn't Moffat's idea. It's Davies's. It isn't based around Twelve, as it was created five years ago.
@NineTenElevenTwelve Yes they tried to explain it but I've never seen Identical cousins before :)
@NineTenElevenTwelve Gwen of Torchwood being in Victorian Cardiff was addressed The Stolen Earth. Also just a passing line. So RTD did it a couple times, but other than that, it's unexplained. (unless you count Romana)
It's not an issue. It was an idea with nothing based on the Doctor. It was made by Davies about two completely different characters over five years ago. The Doctor is just included now.
@MrRazza, General Rogue Timelord Identifier You forgot Michael Wisher (Ambassadors of Death, Terror of the Autons, Carnival of Monsters, Genesis of the Daleks, Revenge of the Cybermen and Planet of Evil...and I could cheat and include his dalek voices in Frontier in Space, Planet of the Daleks and Death to the Daleks..!)
Also Stephen Thorne...played Azal in The Daemons, Eldrad in The Hand of Fear and some bad guy in the Three Doctors....
@StephenAHayes Hi there, I was the writer of this article. Thank you very much - I spent a fair bit of time trying to come up with the right quotes for the right paragraphs and I'm glad that they've been enjoyed. :)
@DasManiac but aren't casual viewers potential fans?
@DasManiacYou forgot to mention your usual "the show is loosing popularity in the UK" and "it still exists only because of us foreign viewers". Try again.
Is identicle cousins even a thing? :P
@Ivegotnewkidneys on the 23rd Maybe somewhere in the credits, like a "Special Thank You" bit. :)
@Ivegotnewkidneys on the 23rd Doubt it. Even as showrunner he often rewrote full episodes without being credited.
Sorry couldn't resist, being serious, I'm pretty sure he is the genuine Doctor. I thought Capaldi referring to the Doctor as Doctor who was just because he'd grown up with the show and knew the Doctor as such. Its highly unlikely that he's possessed, maybe the Timelords meddled with his regeneration a little though?
Possibly one of the reasons he's a bit 'darker' is because he spent centuries watching people live and die for generations, making him realise that he's not like a human. Moffat gave that explanation anyway. That said, maybe there is a bit more to it, I don't know.
@Polyphase @NineTenElevenTwelve Except in the Elvis Presley movie Kissin' Cousins and The Patty Dike Show from the 1960s...many years ago!
@Polyphase @NineTenElevenTwelve that is a bit unlikely
@Oodkind @NineTenElevenTwelve The Freema one was more awkward, as both characters were identical looking (modern dress and hair) and within the same time era.
Indeed if my identical cousin had been killed by Cybermen, would I want to travel with the Doctor or stay well away from 'aliens' as possible?
@floppy_who @MrRazza, General Rogue Timelord IdentifierThe headmaster (Michael Sheard) and the vicar (Peter Halliday) in Remembrance - both appeared 5 times in the classic series prior to that!
@ilyootha is back in home Universe @DasManiac Considering he didn't say that... and considering his point isn't even related to that... why treat him so rudely?
Honestly, it's getting so a person needs to think twice before opening their mouth here. :(
@Undiscovered Adventure Not IDENTICAL identical... but as close as makes no difference. A good example is George V and Nicholas II.
@supermoff @Ivegotnewkidneys on the 23rd "Russell THE Davies"
@SephoraNeedSeries8 @Ivegotnewkidneys on the 23rd But he still gets credits every time an Ood or Judoon appears! A nice legacy that :-)
@Undiscovered Adventure Hmm. The Rani eh... Heh heh. I must admit when he said "Trust no one" in Sydney my heart jumped into my mouth and I started thinking that there might be a reason to mistrust the Doctor. Hope not. I trusted 9 and he was waaaaay dark.
@YaelMoise @ilyootha is back in home Universe @DasManiacThere are thousands of fans but millions of casual viewers, so saying that they don't matter is... very strange, to say at least - just like keeping saying that the show is loosing its popularity severely in the UK, despite people responding with facts that prove otherwise.
But, yeah, why did I bother to reply, if apparently none of us here understands how TV works anyway?...
They did indeed look very similar, but that's the advantage of beards!
@Night at the Whovies @supermoff @Ivegotnewkidneys on the 23rd God, I loved that video. :)
@ilyootha is back in home Universe @YaelMoise @DasManiac Well, there you go. You could have said that (preferably without the second paragraph) and you would be replying to what he said in a to-the-point polite manner.
You make a good point, I just wish you didn't need to go through attack mode to get to it.

These perspective drawings by Viktor Timofeev are pulverizing my mind right now.
[Warning: major tangent] I am an ebullient advocate of manual perspective drawing, and drawing in general. For myself, it was an integral part of not just learning how to draw forms and spaces, but understanding spatial relationships and learning to visualize and contextualize both physical and abstract systems.
Nervous System makes a good related point about generative design: "Part of the draw of computational design is you aren't limited by the tools made available by others. Anything is possible. However, this comes with the caveat that in order for anything to be possible, you need to put in the effort to understand algorithms to the level that you can use them innovatively."
I think that's true if you work with code, graphite, sounds, words, research, fashion, persuasions, pickles, paint, persimmons or any other medium. Know your shit.

Uttoxeter artist takes on prestigious exhibition
Posted: June 30, 2014|
A FORMER Uttoxeter pupil is making a big splash in the world of art as she puts on her first solo exhibition.
Rose Wade, a former pupils of Thomas Alleyne's High School, is exhibiting her art work at the Air Space Gallery, in Broad Street, Stoke on Trent, from 10am to 4pm until Friday, open every day except Sunday and Monday.
The artist has already seen her unique work receive some top awards after winning the Berkofsky Arts Award while studying for a degree in art and design during her final year at Leeds University.
This award allowed her to put on her own exhibition in the Stoke gallery.
The student's practice works between photography and drawing and explores the relationship between the social and economic impact of loss of industry within Great Britain.
Miss Wade said that this series of work has been influenced by numerous trips to Stoke on Trent as living locally to the city has given a greater understanding and passion for the potteries.
The basis of her work has been formed through photography, with large scale drawings then developing on from this.
These drawings are exclusively produced using charcoal within the drawings maps and have also been transferred onto the paper, mapping the key areas of the past and present city of Stoke. Miss Wade added that the city is clearly proud of its heritage and the work not only makes comment on the social context of the decline of industry and city but also aims to act as a monument to the potteries.
Thomas Alleyne's head teacher Julie Rudge said: "It is fantastic to see previous pupils from Thomas Alleyne's High School go on to achieve so much success in their fields.
"Outstanding work continues in art with many pupils being recognised for their work in the recent rotary awards."

There are many NFL Mock Drafts coming out every minute now. Some are people updating their's, Mel Kiper's final should be done tomorrow night, others like Mike Mayock have their only Mocks soon. Peter King did his 1st Round NFL Mock Draft and it is my favorite yet. It addresses a number of needs for the Cleveland Browns at draft positions that are sensible, if unrealistic. It is his MMQB What Teams Will Do Mock Draft:
(Acquired from Atlanta, with a third-round pick, in the trade-down from 4 to 6.)
Browns get their Texas A&M offensive star, just not the one lots of Browns fans wished it was. But how about a trio of Josh Gordon, Evans and Andrew Hawkins, the former Bengals waterbug, in the slot? Browns need a lot. This is good value for the spot. It would also give the Brown a ridiculous seven of the top 110 picks.
He starts with a big surprise having Khalil Mack go #1 to the Houston Texans. From there he has Jadeveon Clowney dropping all the way to #4 where the Atlanta Falcons trade up to get him. Its possible at this point the Browns could get a bidding war for Clowney started and pick up a greater pick then the Falcons third rounder, which is still high in the draft. In King's draft the Browns drop down 2 spots and pick up the #68 pick in the draft.
In the drop down the Browns add the #2 receiver in the draft, who some have as the #1. Evans has enough speed to go along with his huge frame. We noted before that Sammy Watkins and Evans measured out similarly in the Sports Science testing we covered, click here to read that. Evans would give the Browns 3 large weapons on the field along with the speedy Hawkins. The Browns can still cover their needs at QB and other positions with the 2nd 1st rounder, their 2nd rounder or their 3 3rd rounders. With Evans a big need is filled and a high draft pick is gained. Then King addresses another need at #26:

We're exactly two weeks away from getting our country/pop-loving little paws on the new T Swizzle album, Speak Now. In addition to Mine (check out the video here) and of course hearing Swift sing Innocent at the MTV VMAs this year (hai Kanye), we are getting sneak-ay peek-ay at another song off Speak Now.
Taylor has revealed that Back to December (which you can listen to here) is an apology to a person she was 'careless' with. I'm gonna go out on teeny tiny limb here and make the assessment that the song is about that other Taylor we all love so much, Mr. 'Jacob Black' Lautner himself. Let's discuss.
- The song is titled Back to December. Taylor squared ended their relationship in December 2009.
- Taylor Swift sings, "I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile". Taylor Lautner = tan skin, sweet smile.
- Swift also sings about being in love in the 'summer' and in 'September.' Rumours of the two Taylor's dating heated up in the fall of 2009, meaning they were probably able to keep things on the down-low for a few months prior to the fall.
- Swift has always been upfront about her lyrics being extremely autobiographical, even going as far as to include the names of the guys she's dated in the songs.
What do you think? Is Back to December about Taylor Lautner? And don't forget, if you're a Taylor Swift fan then you have to check out MuchMusic's Ultimate Taylor Swift Fan Contest right here!

- Petitioned President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva; President-elect Dilma Rousseff
This petition was delivered to:
Protect Precious Rainforest - Stop This Monstrous Building Project
Multiply Your Impact
Turn your signature into dozens more by sharing this petition and recruiting people you know to sign.
The Brazilian rainforest and the indigenous peoples who live in it are endangered by the construction of the Belo Monte Dam, which would be one of the largest, most devastating infrastructure projects ever to be built in the Amazon.
It would divert the flow of the Xingu River and flood over 100,000 acres of rainforest, displacing over 40,000 people and threatening the survival of indigenous communities.
On August 26, the Brazilian government signed the concession to build the Belo Monte Dam, despite concerns over its financial viability, growing resistance amongst indigenous groups and social movements, and predictions of technical experts that the dam will be one of the worst engineering projects in Brazil's history.
The consortium responsible for building Belo Monte could receive a license to initiate the project any day. So now is a crucial time for the international community to speak out and stand up to defend the Xingu River and those who depend upon it. That is why we are joining our friends at International Rivers and Amazon Watch in taking action.
Take action and tell the Brazilian government to immediately stop the monstrous Belo Monte Dam project.
President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva; President-elect Dilma Rousseff, and other top Brazilian officials
I support the demands of Brazilian civil society and urge you to defend the Amazon and its people and stop the Belo Monte Dam Complex.

Apple stumble opens door for rivals
According to analysts, the disappointing announcement of the Apple iPhone 4S creates an opening in the market for its smartphone competitors.
Wed, Oct 05, 2011 at 07:54 AM
UPGRADE? Apple introduced the iPhone 4S, not the iPhone 5 as many were expecting, leaving an opening for innovation from its competitors; Photo: ZUMA Press
TAIPEI/HELSINKI - Rival smartphone makers could exploit a rare letdown by Apple in the launch of its new iPhone 4S model, which failed to wow fans, and grab a bigger share of the most lucrative part of the phone market.
However, analysts also noted that Apple's decision to keep older iPhone models and slash their prices, would help the U.S. firm to reach the bigger, mass market, where it will be in more direct competition with phones using Google's Android software.
The iPhone, introduced in 2007 with the touchscreen template since adopted by rivals, has proved to be the gold standard in the booming smartphone market, and its surging sales have hit the ambitious plans of many competitors.
But shares in Apple's closest rivals, Samsung Electronics, HTC and Nokia, gained on Wednesday after Apple unveiled the iPhone 4S overnight at its headquarters in Cupertino, California.
The new iPhone 4S is identical in form to the previous model, disappointing fans who had hoped for a thinner, bigger-screened design of a product that had not been updated for more than a year.
"Apple no longer has a leading edge; its cloud service is even behind Android; it can only sell on brand loyalty now," said Gartner analyst C.K. Lu in Taipei.
"Users may wait to buy the next iPhone; if they can't wait, they may shift to brands with more advanced specs."
In Europe shares in Nokia and Ericsson, half-owner of the Sony Ericsson smartphone venture, were both more than 3 percent higher by 1115 GMT on Wednesday.
"Nokia should benefit from the fact that Apple chose not to play the design card this time around and that unlike some rumors, there will not be anything new aimed at the key mid-range market," analysts from Nordea said in a note.
Nordea said the lack of more significant upgrade to the iPhone would also help Microsoft to gain ground with its Windows Phone platform, which so far controls just 2-3 percent of the market.
Earlier this year Nokia decided to switch to use Microsoft software in its smartphones, and it will introduce its first models using the software later this quarter.
Going for bigger markets
While the new iPhone's high-tech wizardry such as voice commands -- for sending messages, searching for stock prices and other applications -- caught the attention of many analysts, it might not be enough to make it a must-have for consumers.
"Apple's decision not to launch new hardware offers rivals Samsung and HTC a window of opportunity to narrow the gap with their high-end devices before the iPhone 5 arrives," said Ben Wood, head of research at mobile industry consultancy CCS Insight.
"That said, the dramatic price cuts for 3GS and 4G gives Apple a new competitive edge in the mid-tier segment, particularly in the U.S. market," Wood said.
Apple revealed on Tuesday that it was cutting the price of the previous iPhone 4 model to $99 on a network service contract, and said the even older 3GS model will be available for free on contract. This allows Apple to hit the low-end smartphone market it had once eschewed.
Even before the low-cost phone, Apple was set to exponentially grow its China business as it stitches deals with operators in the world's largest mobile phone market, home to more than 900 million subscribers.
Top selling smartphone
Phones based on Google's Android, which is available for free to handset vendors such as Samsung, HTC, LG and Motorola, have a greater combined market share than Apple's iPhone, which is still the world's biggest-selling smartphone.
"There are still many consumers who don't have the iPhone experience, and Apple still has a lot of markets and carriers to enter, so when there's a new model with better specs, it helps to lift shipments," said Ming-chi Kuo, analyst at Concord Securities in Taipei.
"The iPhone 4S targets users who are expiring on their two-year 3GS contract."
Apple sold a record 20.3 million iPhones in the April-June quarter, with analysts estimating Samsung smartphone sales at 19 million handsets, well ahead of Nokia's 16.7 million.
On Wednesday Samsung also said it would file for a sales ban on the new iPhone with courts in France and Italy, alleging that the phone infringed its mobile technology patents, widening an already extensive legal battle with its arch rival.
The lukewarm reception given for the new phone also hit shares in Apple's suppliers.
Taiwan's Hon Hai, Apple's biggest supplier, was down 1.9 percent, while casing company Foxconn Technology fell 6.9 percent. Camera module maker Largan Precision shed 6.6 percent.
"The casing companies should be the most hit, correcting from the previous rise, because the market has expected a metal case for the new iPhone," said Mike Fang, a fund manager of Paradigm Asset Management.

14 Days 'til Halloween: Fed-Ex Box Gravestone "How To"
I thought I'd expand on my John Rozum gravestone homage (created as a thank you for his fun one with my name last year). Here's a quick "How-To" of my Fed-Ex box grave making using basic craft supplies. It's a pretty easy and fast way to add a few last minute tombstones to your display (or you could just go buy some, but where's the fun in that).
Step 1: Go get yourself a FREE large overnight shipping box, any companies will work.
Step 2: Create a name plaque to go on it. First measure the space for it and then type up a template on the computer. Print out on sticker paper (large sheet label paper works great too).
Step 3: Stick the sheet on a piece of foamcore. Using an X-Acto knife create the engraved look by tracing the edges of each letter, cutting inward at an angle. Once the opposite beveled cuts meet in the center, the unwanted foam should just lift out cleanly. Trim the whole board into a plaque shape.
Step 4: Cut off the pre-glued closing tabs on the box because if used, they would create a bulky unwanted edge. Save them though, going to use later. Close only one end of the box using tape, covering all the seams.
Step 5: Spread the flaps on the other open end out, they'll become a base so the grave will stand. Here use the cut off pre-glued tabs and trim to size, attaching at the corners bridging the open flaps. This helps keep them in place and make a sturdier base. Then just hot glue the plaque on
Step 6: Give it 2 or 3 thick basecoats of exterior house paint using some random color you can waste. Dab the paint on to create a textured look.
Step 7: After drying, paint it grey or tomb color of choice. Once that dries, give it a wash of watered down black for a weathered effect.
Step 8: This is optional, but for added texture, dust the whole grave with a light coat of faux stone effect spray paint ( I happened to have some so I used).
Step 9: As it dries, dress the base gluing on dirt and fall leaves (real or fake). Also a good time to sprinkle some dirt on the wet paint for extra aging if wanted.
Done. Let dry really well and place in yard using large nails pushed through the base to secure on ground.

That is awesomely simple! And cheap too!ReplyDelete
Wish I had more time this year. Next year will be my first yard haunt, so I will have all year to prepare.
Thanks for sharing.
Great, simple tutorial. Love the use of free shipping boxes. Now I don't have to wait to get a package in the mail.
I'm curious, though, what is the font you used on the plaque? Thanks!
Ghoulish CopReplyDelete
It's a font called Addams (good name and look). It's been around awhile, I've seen on a number of free download font sites. Can't recall where I got mine off hand. When I do I'll post a link.
Great idea, looks much better than the store bought ones.ReplyDelete
Wow... very cool. Thanks for the tutorial! Now to pick a name...ReplyDelete
- Anonymous10/26/2010 5:34 PM
Seems like a lot of work. Why not go to Target and spend $9.99? Save yourself time, effort and it will look better than what you made.ReplyDelete
As I wrote in the post, yeah, you could go buy one, but this is about the fun of making things. There is no effort if your someone who enjoys the process of creating props.
Yes, there are a lot of tombstones in stores you could buy that look better than mine, but this one is meant to inspire others and maybe make one that blows it away.
For the record...the cost of this prop, based on materials used is around $5.00, so I saved $4.99 and a trip to Target.Replies
And not only that... You can Personalise it. :) Something you can't do with a store bought one. :DDelete
- Wiccy10/29/2010 12:57 AM
Anonymous is CRAZY if they think that any of those store bought Styrofoam things you can buy in a store looks half as good as they one you made!
Also, you can't customize the store bought ones nor are they as much fun as making your own!
The only downside i could see to it is that it might not survive to be used a second year (weather and all).
True, the prop possibly not surviving
a second year is a downside especially if a rain filled October. Although this one did hold up to a few wet days really well. Hopefully though the making of is painless enough so remaking if wanted not too big a chore.
this would be really good for an indoor haunt, just like the one my office does every year. Thanks!ReplyDelete

Hi Dave!ReplyDelete
I really love DIY Halloween sites and this one is great! Me and a friend of mine made a few props one year and just went ahead and spent a little extra on some poly-seal stuff. It weather proofs the props, so you won't have to worry about remaking them every year. we still have ours after a few years.
very nice tutorials .thanks for sharing this post.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous8/23/2014 7:02 PM
For texture, you might paper mache over the box (and add sand to your glue mixture) and then paint.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous10/07/2014 7:16 AM
Just curious how do you do the watered down black for a weathered effect.ReplyDelete

U.S. House passes water resources bill
WASHINGTON – May 22, 2014 – The U.S. House voted in favor of a massive water project bill on Tuesday, and the Senate is expected to follow suit. It then needs only President Obama's signature to become law.
While the projects are nationwide, the Water Resources Reform and Development Act (WRRDA) of 2014 approves nine major Florida projects with a combined cost of $1.465 billion, though the total spent could go higher since it relies, in part, on local commitments. The money included in the bill covers different projects, from the dredging of Florida ports to environmental restoration and storm mitigation.
In addition to benefitting the environment, proponents of the bill point to the number of jobs it will create.
"The Water Resources Reform and Development Act (WRRDA) passed the House of Representatives with overwhelmingly bipartisan support," says Rep. Daniel Webster (R-Winter Garden). "Florida's water resources are a competitive advantage that we must responsibly develop. Investing in our ports, harbors and other water infrastructure will expand our economic footprint, create jobs and help us compete to be the crossroads of international trade for our region."
The seaport dredging projects would allow larger ships, including cruise operators, to visit more ports.
Some Florida observers were disappointed that the bill doesn't include funds for the Central Everglades Planning Project, which would ease the stress on Lake Okeechobee by moving it south and filtering it. However, that project isn't dead, and the bill allows it to be revisited later once the Army Corp of Engineers authorizes it.
Navigation project funding
• Jacksonville Harbor-Milepoint in Jacksonville: $27.8 million-plus
• Jacksonville Harbor in Jacksonville: $362 million
• Canaveral Harbor in Cape Canaveral: $29.2 million-plus
• Lake Worth Inlet in Palm Beach County: $57.5 million-plus
Hurricane and storm damage risk reduction projects:
• Walton County, Florida: $42 million-plus
Environmental Restoration:
• Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan, Caloosahatchee River: $313.3 million-plus
• Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan, Canal Western Project: $87.2 million-plus
• Biscayne Bay Coastal Wetland: $98.5 million-plus

First Pitch: Tuesday, July 2
Fernandez shuts down Padres
Published: Jul 02, 2013
» Get updates via Sportsmail
3 Up
1. Jose Fernandez, SP, Marlins. Fernandez dealt eight scoreless innings of two-hit ball against the Padres on Monday. Fernandez tied a season high with 10 Ks and has allowed two earned runs or less in his last six starts.
2. Jayson Werth, OF, Nationals. Werth went 2-for-5 with five RBIs in a 10-5 win against the Brewers. Werth has five runs and six RBIs in Washington's last two games, and he's available in more than half of Yahoo! leagues.
3. Jose Reyes, SS, Blue Jays. It's nice to have Reyes back in the lineup. He homered for the second consecutive game and had three hits in a win against the Tigers. Since coming off the DL, Reyes is 7-for-19 (.368) with four runs and three RBIs.
3 Down
1. Giants hitters. San Francisco left owners empty-handed in a six-inning, rain-shortened loss to the Reds. The Giants managed just two hits, none of which came from the top-five hitters in the order.
2. Torii Hunter, OF, Tigers. Hunter went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts in a loss to the Blue Jays. He's 1-for-17 with four Ks in Detroit's last four games.
3. Carlos Gomez, OF, Brewers. Gomez went 0-for-5 with three Ks in a loss to the Nationals. Over his last 10 games, Gomez is hitting .256 with no homers, no RBIs and 12 Ks in 39 at-bats.
Start 'Em
-Hanley Ramirez is 11-for-30 (.367) with three home runs against Roy Oswalt.
-Ian Kinsler owners should feel good today as he is 10-for-30 (.333) with four home runs against Joe Saunders.
-Carlos Quentin has owned John Lackey to the tune of a .615 average (8-for-13), a double and four home runs.
-The White Sox slugging pair of Adam Dunn and Paul Konerko have had success against Orioles starter Jason Hammel. Dunn is 6-for-15 (.400) with three doubles and a home run while Konerko is 4-11 with a pair of homers against Hammel.
Sit 'Em
-Adam Lind is day-to-day with back tightness. He may play Tuesday, but owners should consider sitting him even if he is in the lineup. Lind is 1-for-11 (.091) with three strikeouts in his career against Doug Fister.
-Hunter Pence is 2-for-11 (.182) with three strikeouts against Homer Bailey.
-Matt Kemp has hit well since his return from the DL. However Kemp is just 1-for-11 (.091) with four strikeouts in his career against Roy Oswalt.
-Elvis Andrus is 2-for-12 (.167) with a strikeout against Joe Saunders.
Call to the 'Pen
Arizona's J.J. Putz blew a save in just his second appearance since coming off the DL; his fifth blown save of the season. Expect the Diamondbacks to seek bullpen help before the trade deadline. In the meantime, treat Putz as a RP3.

[A picture of Sherlock and John, with the text:
I think theirs is one of the most amazing friendships I've seen in any movie, tv show, book, etc. I see them as two fucked up people who were lucky enough to find a person who'd stick by them despite their flaws. I think it's truly a beautiful thing, and I'm so baffled when I heard otherwise. Sure, Sherlock fucks with John (Hounds of Baskerville being the big one among fans), but John sticks with him because he's accepted who Sherlock is and what he does. He knows and trusts that Sherlock cares about him no matter what he says or does. And it's not like John hasn't given out his own amount of one-upping Sherlock, so I wish people would stop saying that John just "takes" shit from him and therefore their relationship is unhealthy. They do unconventional things because they themselves are unconventional. They are what the other needs, and they balance each other out in that aspect. I don't understand what's bad about that.]

RE: Mary Ward Cooper
Hello, I am quite certain this is my ggg grandmother who came from Ireland with her son and daughter and her daughter's husband from Co. Antrim about 1830 according to an entry in a family Bible from around 1890. She was a widow and James Cooper who was from Co Cavan her second husband I'm not quite sure what year they married but his will is available on Family Search and it names brothers Robert and, I believe John, as well as a nephew John.
I would be grateful if you would correct her birth place if you feel comfortable with the little bit of information I have. Also if you are interested in what information I have on James Cooper I would be happy to forward it to you.

There is a room. The walls are lackluster, painted in pure white that it hurt the eyes. There appears to be no apparent movement here. Just simple and unadulterated silece. Nothing seems to breathe in this space. There is no life here, none that you can see. At least, nothing seems to be. They could just be anywhere, blending in the colour of the wall, watching you with careful eyes, and you will never know. And yet. It is only you and this room, moving ever so slightly in the universe's resting place, both subsisting in the stillness of it all. The light source is somewhere above the room, suspended there, unmoving, but you do not see it. Your vision is limited. Shadows do not exist here. Perhaps nothing does, after all. You are not anywhere either. You are neither in this room, nor in any other place that you can remember. You are nowhere. This is all just inside your head, flashing like a television screen, playing a still image. It's just a room coated in pure white paint, that's all. But this isn't a dream. This place is the transition of reality and fear. The arrival of the aftermath.
Your focus shifts. Out in the corner of the telescreen is a small moving figure. A little black cat. It graces slowly, and you watch it wary eyes while it makes its way in the center of the room, stretching its two forelegs as it does so, and plants itself in the middle. You did not realize you were holding your breath. Now it looks at you straight in the eyes, its pupils dilating, and you swallow a mouthful of air. This is all just inside your head, that's all. But you can feel your heart racing, your palms glistening with sweat. You wish to say something, so you grope for your voice in the quiet, but do not find it there. The cat mews and opens its mouth. "Your kind is not welcome here," the cat tells you in its deep voice. "Leave now."
"This is where all the tears of the world has collected," the cat continues, "the final resting place of humanity. This is where people lose their memories. The basin of their fears. You are not welcome here, because your hands are unclean."
You blink. Try to process what you've been told. Something weighs you down in the gut. You cannot see it, but you can feel gravity's force pulling you down with it. The cat is gone in a split-second, and your questions hang in the air, only to be plucked away by the next person who will come after you when you leave. The image of the white room flickers for a few brief seconds, replaced by static. This is not a dream. And yet. This is all inside your head. Warm liquid drips from your hands, and you smell the strong scent of copper in the air, but it is not your blood.

It's probably a good idea to enable the hardware password feature on
our Solaris consoles anyway (or is it?), but if there's a program
bundled with Solaris that will spit out that address, there's an added
reason for doing so. :-)
You can do the same thing on almost any system with a kernel debugger
and a "console". On a RS/6000, put the keyswitch in "service" position
and press CTRL-\ on the async console. If you get a debugger prompt,
whammo, you're in.

'Extreme' Partnership: ESPN Joins GoPro Camera for XGames
CREDIT: GoPro
You're about to get a whole new way to watch the XGames.
GoPro, the makers of some of the best durable sport cameras on the market, has signed a deal with sports network ESPN to provide a new visual take on the broadcaster's XGames events for the next three years.
This deal takes effect immediately, meaning you should see these unique perspectives as soon as tomorrow (Jan. 24), when the latest round of the Winter XGames kicks off in Aspen, Colo.
The XGames have been the go-to event for "extreme" athletes since their inception back in 1995, allowing skateboarders, BMX riders, snowboarders (like popular favorite Shaun White) and others to compete against one another in events for medals – a modern-day Olympics, if you will.
GoPro's perspective on the XGames will be a novel one, as its camera technology enables athletes to strap the devices onto their helmet or wrist to provide either a first-person viewpoint or an outside angle on the sporting action. The company will be taking part in a number of events, including the GoPro Snowmobile Best Trick (for the Winter Games) and the GoPro BMX Big Air (for the summer games).
GoPro's latest camera brand, the Hero3, enables users to activate high-quality recording, with 1080p-supported video format and speeds varying between 30 and 60 frames per second (depending on the model), with easy transfer to the Internet, either through Wi-Fi or a computer connection. The models are priced at $199.99 and $399.99, with the Black Edition being the best. (It supports 60 frames per second broadcasting in full 1080p.)
You can learn more about the GoPro Hero 3 cameras here, and check out the official XGames site here.

Score from 366 reviews Good
The staff where very helpful when booking our room.
The room was very basic and in a state of poor condition. The curtains where far to short for the window, so I had to dress in the bathroom. Over all our experience staying in the pipers bb will never be repeated or recommend to anyone.
Open shower room TV for children Central location
One sofa bed had a slight dip
We had a friendly welcome, very clean and spacious.
Can be a bit noisy as it is over a pub, with people drinking outside
Nice old-fasioned house, clean and cosy room. Good (in dishes) restaurant in the complex. Near the sea.
The service in the restaurant one of 2 days was awful. We waited for 45 minutes to make an order. It is difficult with a little kid. I thought they would suggest us a compensation but it has not happened. There is no lift, parking is far away and costs a lot while there is a free p-space near the house.
Delicious English breakfast, great location (easy walk to the beach), relaxed atmosphere so good for kids, good size family room, comfortable beds and good curtains that block out light. Best tiramisu we've ever had.
no need to reserve parking (parking is free on street)- should be clear on site. Owner gave a refund when I complained. Dirty windows.
The location
The noise at night
Very handy location for breaking the trip home to the UK. Good comfortable quality offer - better than I anticipated. Large clean family room and newly installed bathroom.
I think they are a little understaffed.
No carpet on the floor Restaurant and pub in the house
Stuff every time in hurry
I was traveling with my dog and we enjoyed our stay. The rooms are nicely decorated and fit the image of a B&B. Cosy and Comfy. The location is great you can roam the backlands as well as the coastline very easily. The food is great!!!
The welcome can be a bit harsh if the Pub is busy. It's a B&B so don't expect "hotel" reception services. Some people tend to forget. They charge you a private parking space, whereas the public parking lot is just next door and free of charge.
The atmosphere the food the location rooms were quite nice value for money was good
Friendly waiters in the bar downstairs
The front door of the room opened straight into the bathroom! So very little privacy. Beyond this were the two rooms - one for myself and husband, the other for the kids. Breakfast was pretty dreadful - never have a full English breakfast if you're not in England! Also very noisy - difficult to get to sleep at night.
Perfect location! And an Irish Pub is always great.

"Sociopaths love power. They love winning. If you take loving kindness out of the human brain, there's not much left except the will to win."

Qui a l'habitude de voyager sait qu'il arrive toujours un moment où il faut partir.
The usual breakfast turned out to be quite special….I entered the bar and I stumbled upon a movie set….So while drinking my usual coffee I assisted to the filming of a couple of movie scenes. It was quite entertaining!
