0.108203 | <urn:uuid:5cd14a77-e766-4e3d-89fd-4ac4b124651a> | en | 0.981559 | 2008 Season Retrospective: Patrick Kerney
Overview: Patrick Kerney played in seven games before a torn labrum in his left shoulder ended his season. It was the second labrum tear in his left shoulder in less than a year. He's also had surgery on his wrist and surgery to remove bone chips from his elbow. He had five sacks in his seven games.
What went right: Seattle's defensive line declined, especially at rushing the passer, and despite a less capable Rocky Bernard and playing across the line from the ineffectual Lawrence Jackson, Kerney set a pace for double digit sacks. He showed pretty good speed around the edge and kept himself in plays by moving his feet and working his hands. His essential pass rush repertoire was intact: The first step, the push to separate, the equally capable inside and outside burst, and the inside rip.
What went wrong: He still wasn't as good as he was in 2007. He had more sacks through seven, but he was less disruptive. He was severely injured and lost most of his age 31 season. He turned 32 last December.
Outlook: Kerney ranks 50th all-time for career sacks. 28 defensive ends that played through their age 32 season rank ahead of him. It's a group you would expect to play well late into their career, and they did. They averaged 10 sacks in their age 30 season and 13 finished with double digit sacks. They averaged 9.8 sacks in their age 31 season and 18 finished with double digit sacks. 32 is the first big drop*. They averaged just 7.3 sacks and only eight finished with double digit sacks. Four of those eight are in the top five for career sacks, and those four represent 54.5 of the 204.5 sacks accredited to the group. The remaining 24 averaged 6.3 sacks. Kerney is not Bruce Smith, Reggie White or Michael Strahan, but maybe he can be Chris Doleman. Doleman's unheralded but fantastic career had definite peaks and valleys. He had 27 sacks at 31 and 32, just 16 at 33 and 34, but then 38 at 35, 36 and 37. Doleman was never severely injured. Kerney's got about as bad a bunch of injuries as a defensive lineman can have without losing his back or knees.
I don't expect a precipitous drop, though it's happened to better ends than Kerney, but anything approaching his 2007 is far fetched. If he's healthy, Kerney is likely good for five to nine sacks. He could be worse, he could be hurt still or hurt again, but he's very unlikely to be much better. It is much more likely Kerney gets less than five sacks than more than ten sacks in 2009. After 2009, the team better figure out a replacement and fast.
*One might say, for an acceleration dependent position like defensive end, 32 is like a running back's age 30.

By George Runkle (TMF Runkle)
ATLANTA, GA (Jan. 24, 2000) -- Recently, we've seen an introduction of "Synthetic Drip" programs from BuyandHold.com and Netstock Direct (Sharebuilder). Soon, The Moneypaper will be introducing a program. I was rather excited by all this because the programs allow us to invest in companies like Cisco Systems, which come under the "Pathfinder" definition that I've given companies that are opening up the Internet.
I also thought that the volatility of many stocks would work in a Drip investor's favor. It seemed that stocks with strong moves relative to the average market indices might benefit from dollar cost averaging. The measure of this volatility is "beta." A stock with a beta of one moves up and down, lockstep, with the market, while a stock with a beta of two moves twice as much as the market, and so on. Theoretically, if the market goes up or down 10%, a stock with a beta of one will do the same, whereas a stock with a beta of two would move 20%.
Here is why I think Drip investors can benefit from volatility:
• The short-term movements of stocks are driven by random events that can't be predicted.
• By investing on a certain date every month, you have just as much chance of getting a short-term down as you do a short-term up.
• Picking a stock's top or bottom is impossible.
• Stocks with wide fluctuations will provide better returns on dollar cost averaging, since by investing regularly you may purchase more shares at lower prices than you would with stocks that fluctuate less.
How do you test a hypothesis like this? I originally thought about picking a number of low-beta stocks and high-beta stocks at random and comparing the results of dollar cost averaging them. However, in a bull market, the high-beta stocks will by definition have a larger average annualized return than the lower-beta ones. How can you really compare the results?
If we are dollar cost averaging once a month, we'll get an average annualized return. If the system works better with high-beta stocks, that average return should be much higher than the annualized return of most of the months we invested. Let's say we invested $100 a month for 36 months and our average annualized return is 60%. If only nine months provided 60% or higher return, that 60% is the 75th percentile. That's because for 27 months (75% of the investments) we did not reach a 60% return. That would tell us that 75% of the times we could have invested we would not have beaten the results of dollar cost averaging.
To get my data, I selected 10 stocks with a beta of three or greater, and 10 with a beta of one. Both sets were selected randomly using Fidelity's website to screen stocks by beta. I averaged the returns from the first two years of investing, and the third year I didn't count so we wouldn't be thrown off by extreme short-term results. For a couple of the stocks, the annualized returns of the past few months put the average results into the triple digits -- obviously that isn't something we'll see year in, year out.
Beta > 3.0
Average annualized return from Dollar Cost Averaging: 245.95%
Percentile Ranking: 59.33%
Beta = 1.0
Average annualized return from Dollar Cost Averaging: 28.84%
Percentile Ranking: 55.31%
From the limited data here, the back test shows dollar cost averaging gave much larger returns for the high-beta stocks. That's to be expected (because these stocks gained much more), but it's looking back over a bull market at stocks that have maintained a high volatility. If we had a bear market, I'm sure you'd see some huge losses. About 60% of the time you could have invested in the high-beta stocks in that period, you would not have beat the average annualized return for the dollar cost averaging. But wait! My results for stocks with a beta of one aren't that much lower -- about 55%, only a 5% difference. So dollar cost averaging helped you about equally for both types of stocks.
Does dollar cost averaging give better results for the high-beta stocks? Should you forget your Drips in Pfizer, Johnson and Johnson, and Coke, and move over to synthetic Drips in Yahoo!, eBay, etc.? Your possible returns are much higher (buying higher-growth companies, generally), but so is your risk. The results of the volatility on your average return aren't that much higher than lower-beta stocks, though. I suspect this difference would disappear with an even larger sample. So, in conclusion, while the higher-beta stocks present a possibility of a higher return, dollar cost averaging them does not give you much of an edge over what it does with lower-beta stocks. It still comes down to your tolerance for risk vs. your desired return.

You do realize that Family Guy wasn't even the first to make that kind of joke, right? Jokes get re-used in different mediums all the time. What you've just said basically amounts to "Simpsons did it!" And I have to say, so what?

It's good that heaven and hell aren't real. The Bible says, that as long as you accept JC as your saviour, and believe in god and repent, you go to heaven. Hand Hitler was a strong believer and fundamentalist, and therefore would have gone to heaven by the rules pf the Bible (Which says that genocide is ok, so he would be of the hook for that)
#37 to #9 - ssurtrebor (04/23/2013) [-]
Not even close.
Not even close.
#20 to #9 - oedad (04/23/2013) [-]
Well there is no proof Hitler ever was repentant,there is no proof he was a fundamentalist catholic mainly because i am not aware of one instance he ever went to church.
Also Napoleon was a self proclaimed atheist he also stated "all atheists should be shot" because he believed they couldn't be trusted and were more likely to sow discontent than the religious who were typically more loyal to the government. So if you take a quote out of context you'd think Napoleon was religious when in reality he was making a statement to ensure his political power.
User avatar #27 to #20 - smittywrbmnjnsn (04/23/2013) [-]
Hitler was strictly religious, and there is plenty of evidence.
User avatar #16 to #9 - mayormilkman (04/23/2013) [-]
It is debatable whether or not he said such things just to gain political power. Why not be a part of the major religion of the country?
#40 to #2 - DevDizzy (04/23/2013) [-]
He was the man that killed Hitler after all...
User avatar #58 - goldenglimmer (04/23/2013) [-]
Many of the people depicted in this image have never claimed or even insinuated an affiliation to Atheism. Most actors, for instance, prefer to their religious beliefs or lack thereof private. The same goes for a lot of public figures, singers and artists.
And even if all of these people were Atheists, would that give you a reason to feel superior? In addition, I don't see why some famous people believing the same thing you do would reenforce or validate your philosophy.
Also, this implies that all the "cool" people are Atheists. You don't think, hypothetically speaking, that there would be an army of people who could easily be classified as "good company" in heaven as well?
What gives, OP?

So... god is an atheist??
User avatar #32 to #28 - mountainyard (04/23/2013) [-]
According to me once when I was high or drunk. Yes.
To be religious is to believe in some power higher than yourself. God is the highest power in christianity and therefore God cannot believe in some higher power.
God is an atheist.
#34 to #32 - anonymous poster (04/23/2013) [-]
Good thing you were drunk when you said that, because it sounds really stupid.
User avatar #36 to #34 - mountainyard (04/23/2013) [-]
Yeah, I know. Because he probably believes in himself and his son (which is himself(never got that one)) and that makes him Christian.

So if hell exists and you're an atheist then you can take solace in the fact that hell is full of celebrities. But if hell doesn't exist then when you die your consciousness just ceases to exist. So the best hope for an atheist is that they are wrong and there really is an afterlife. Sounds like religious propaganda to me.

User avatar #111 to #71 - luidias ONLINE (04/23/2013) [-]
He's never expressly called himself atheist, but he's implied that he's not religious, saying that the extent to which the universe is trying to kill us is contrary to the existence of a benevolent god. He's also said that the idea of intelligent designs gets in the way of scientific knowledge and progress.
If I had to guess, and this is just my personal opinion, I'd say he's agnostic,

User avatar #158 to #151 - bobisfun (04/24/2013) [-]
thats what im saying. im saying that almost all religous people are taught by either someone or a group who believe in the same thing. Most religous people only believe what they're taught first which is why religion is very controversial and one-sided. thats why i am not religous and not even an atheist. also due to the fact that religion always causes harm to people of different religion just because they believe of some strange ideas that were supposedly created thousands of years ago.
User avatar #159 to #158 - trimageryan (04/25/2013) [-]
This is the exact reason I'm agnostic. I feel that both theist and atheists are too definitive for me. God existis, and there is no god are both statements that people hear and say "this is true but that one is obvious a lie!" when I can't find any evidence to support either claim.
Do I think a divine creator is a very unlikely scenario? Absolutely. Can I actually disprove the existence of on? Not even close.
I feel like people take these things too seriously, why fight so hard for something intangible?
#133 to #128 - anonymous poster (04/24/2013) [-]
the whole post is saying that based upon the assumption that it exists it wouldnt be bad, but he's saying it would be bad, the post just doesn't understand how hell works.
User avatar #130 to #128 - buttholee (04/24/2013) [-]
I mean, if it does exist
User avatar #132 to #130 - trimageryan (04/24/2013) [-]
I never understood the concept of hell. It's a place made by an all forgiving god that makes you suffer for all eternity for doing exactly what he knew you were going to do thousands of years before you did it, ruled by a guy who hated gods unfair treatment of humans so he tortures them and follows gods rules about it...
User avatar #137 to #132 - Greevon (04/24/2013) [-]
That is, essentially, what Hell is, except it's not "ruled" by Satan or Lucifer, it's "ruled" by God. The reason for the misconception is, well, television. And many Christians don't believe that God does know exactly what people will do, because people have free will and are therefore separate from his plans. Still further, an (albeit very small) amount of Christians believe that Hell is only a temporary placement.
User avatar #144 to #137 - trimageryan (04/24/2013) [-]
The concept of free will is complete rubbish if you're a Christian. How can you say you have free will when an all powerful and all knowing creator god has anything to do with your existence. If he knows what you're going to do at all points in time then you're just as much part of his plan than anything else. You are set in stone and bound by his laws which you are predetermined to break.
The whole hell being a temporary placement thing is completely false as well, I know it's in the bible that hell is a forever deal
User avatar #145 to #144 - Greevon (04/24/2013) [-]
whoah, now. You're being as bad as those Christians who believe there's no room for interpretation in the Bible. Don't think we all believe everything literally. And "omnipotent" doesn't mean he knows exactly what individual people will do in the future. It means he sees all and knows what's coming. It depends on the person reading the Bible. That's why I don't like going to church, because there are WAAAY too many people who think there's a "right" way to interpret religious scripture.
User avatar #150 to #145 - trimageryan (04/24/2013) [-]
Oh I didn't mean to offend, I was only making a generalization based on the majority, I didn't mean to imply that it was all Christians. I've met quite a few that are open minded about it.
User avatar #152 to #150 - Greevon (04/24/2013) [-]
Okay, no offense taken then. I strictly adhere to the belief that you should analyze something and make judgements about them base upon your own accumulation of knowledge, whether that be applied to religion or anything else.
Have fun looking at overused memes and dick jokes, mate. I'm off to do likewise.

User avatar #110 to #91 - luidias ONLINE (04/23/2013) [-]
what? Einstein identified himself as agnostic (or pantheistic) and discarded jewish beliefs when he was still a kid. He really didn't like the idea of a single anthropomorphic god. Granted, he specifically dismissed being labeled an atheist, because, in simple terms, he figured there was no way to prove or disprove the existence of supernatural forces or deities.
he was raised in a jewish family, but that's about it.

I'm not even talking Karthus where conditions have to be just right (ie AoE team comp, multiple people being low health). I'm talking more along the lines of SSJ3 Tryndamere where it's more like "oh crap he just ult'd everyone back the **** up right ******* now".
SlaynPosted 11/18/2012 3:05:57 PM
The answer is always Karthus.

Six dead in Rwanda building collapse as rescue ends
Six people died and more than 30 others were injured after a building collapsed in northeastern Rwanda, police said Wednesday as they called off rescue efforts a day after the accident.
"Six people working on the site died as the result of the building collapse," Rwanda's police said in a statement. "The search and rescue mission...has been completed and the site is clear."
Those killed and the others who were rescued from the rubble were construction workers on the part-finished four-storey building, which collapsed on Tuesday afternoon.
"The rescue operation is over, we are now removing the debris," local police chief Eric Mutsinzi told AFP, speaking from the wreckage of the building in Nyagatare, a town some 100 kilometres (60 miles) northeast of the capital Kigali.
Both police and the army worked to free those trapped in the rubble, with at least 30 people pulled from the debris alive.
Workers from the building described how pillars on the ground floor began to buckle after they had started to enlarge offices there.
"We were knocking down walls on the ground floor to enlarge a room that a bank was going to move into," recounted 31-year-old Emmanuel Nkulikiyimana who was working on the building as a labourer and who is now hospitalised in Nyagatare.
He and six other workers, along with one passer-by who was injured at the same time, are sitting on mattresses on the hospital floor receiving medical care.
"My colleague said 'look the pillar is buckling'. I looked and another one buckled. I called my boss who said it wasn't a big problem and that we were going to fix it. Another pillar buckled and the boss told those who were knocking down the wall to get out so we ran. It was as I was running out of the building that I was injured."
"I did what the boss told me to do," he told AFP, adding that the "boss" was also the proprietor of the building.
Lying next to him with a leg injury Bonaventure Nduwayesu, 26, explained how he lay trapped under the rubble for at least one hour.
"I had difficulty breathing because there was so little space. I couldn't hear anything. I was scared. I thought they would never find me," he said.
Initial reports had said that as many as 100 people had been feared trapped in the rubble, but as rescue efforts began officials scaled back the numbers of those involved.
Three of the injured have been airlifted to hospital in Kigali, while 15 others remain in hospital in Nyagatare, police said.
Police doctor Francois Sinayobye said that five people were seriously injured in the accident.
"We do not know exactly how many came to work...Nobody knows if there are more people" under the rubble, said Patrick Byiringiro, a doctor at the town's hospital. "We're trying to see if there are not people who have been ignored."
The owner of the building, who was overseeing the construction work, was also injured in the collapse. | http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/afp/130515/six-dead-rwanda-building-collapse-rescue-ends-0 | dclm-gs1-009690002 | false | false | {

B.O. FORECAST: Generation Gap
11:50am EST
HOLLYWOOD, July 20, 2000 – This weekend, there's a rivalry between generations at the box office. Four major releases, targeting three distinct age groups, arrive at the cinemas. There's "Pokemon: The Movie 2000" for the kiddies; "The In Crowd" and "Loser" for the bouncing teens; and "What Lies Beneath" for the moms and pops.
So basically, what we're really saying here is that it’ll probably be just easier for the whole family to see the super-freaks flick "X-Men," again.
But, decide for yourself. Below are overviews of the flicks opening this week:
"What Lies Beneath"
WHAT LIES BENEATH (See the trailer) The Skinny: A specter descends upon the bathtub of a professor (Harrison Ford) and his wife (Michelle Pfeiffer). And the question is: Why them? The Upside: It’s spooky. It’s got Ford and Pfeiffer. And it even has a mind-bending twist at the end a la "The Six Sense." The Downside: Yeah… but it’s for old people.
LOSER (See the trailer) The Skinny: A nerd (Jason Biggs) and an outsider (Mena Suvari) meet in college, fall in love, blah, blah, blah. The Upside: The film features the stars of two recent runaway hits: Biggs from "American Pie;" and Suvari from "American Beauty." The Downside: Does wearing a dumb hat make you a loser? In this case, yes. Does it make for a good movie? C'mon. Just look at that hat.
THE IN CROWD (See the trailer) "The In Crowd" The Skinny: A recovering psychiatric patient (Lori Heuring) assimilates to the moneyed society with over-the-top, tragic results. The Upside: A young, nubile, attractive cast. The Downside: Lori Heuring, Daniel Hugh Kelly, Susan Ward. The term "A-list" doesnt' exactly come to mind.
"Pokemon: The Movie 2000"
POKEMON: THE MOVIE 2000 (See the trailer) The Skinny: Sequel to the wildly popular "Pokemon: The First Movie" from last year. This one follows ... Oh, go ask your kids. The Upside: The first "Pokemon" flick was huge among kids. The Downside: That doesn't necessarily mean you want to sit through this nonense with your kids again.
Besides these flicks, also expect "X-men," "Scary Movie," "The Perfect Storm" and "The Patriot" to hang around at the top.

My service to IAFN has always been an honor for me and an opportunity to give back to my colleagues who have been there for me during my nursing career. The committees on which I have served have been a springboard to connecting with other forensic nurses, growing as a nurse and seeing forensic nurses through the eyes of others. This has expanded my ability to care for patients, to develop educational opportunities for forensic nurses, and to advance my scholarship.
Anita Hufft, PhD, RN, Valdosta, GA
What is Forensic Nursing?
Forensic Nursing, as outlined in the Forensic Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice, is the practice of nursing globally when health and legal systems intersect.
Why is Forensic Nursing Important?
By hiring and training Forensic Nurses, communities supply themselves with a vital link to the administration of justice.
"Forensic Nurses play an integral role in bridging the gap between law and medicine. They should be in each and every emergency room"
Joseph Biden, Vice President, United States
from Forensic Nursing: a Handbook for Practice
What is a Forensic Nurse?
A forensic nurse is a nurse who provides specialized care for patients who are victims and/or perpetrators of trauma (both intentional and unintentional) Forensic Nurses are NURSES first and foremost. However, the specialized role of forensic nurses goes far beyond medical care; forensic nurses also have a specialized knowledge of the legal system and skills in injury identification, evaluation and documentation. After attending to a patient’s immediate medical needs, a forensic nurse often collects evidence, provides medical testimony in court, and consults with legal authorities.
Who can become a forensic nurse?
Since forensic nursing is a nursing specialty, a person must first become a nurse before becoming a forensic nurse. Learn more about becoming a forensic nurse.
Are there different types of forensic nurses?
Forensic nurses work in a variety of fields, including sexual assault (as Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners or SANEs), domestic violence, child abuse and neglect, elder mistreatment, death investigation, corrections, and in the aftermath of mass disasters.
Where do forensic nurses practice?
In the United States, forensic nurses most frequently work in hospitals, community anti-violence programs, coroner’s and medical examiners offices, corrections institutions and psychiatric hospitals. Forensic nurses may also be called on in mass disasters or community crisis situations.

Finally, let's put a tax on obnoxiousness. That alone could probably just about balance our budgets.

You can be arrested for "anything" and keep your HCP. You lose it if you are "convicted". "Arrested" and "convicted" mean two different things. A distinction that most posters seem to have missed.

Old Testament Seminary Student Study Guide, (2002), 162
At the time the Babylonians conquered the kingdom of Judah and took them captive, the people of Judah wondered if God had forsaken them and the covenant He made with Abraham to give them the land of Canaan and to be a blessing to the rest of the world through the truths and blessings He gave them. They also questioned whether He had done away with the covenant He made to establish the descendants of David as kings in Israel (see 2 Samuel 7:13). Jeremiah 30–33 contains the Lord’s assurance to the children of Israel who were scattered and in captivity that He had not forsaken them or His covenants.Jeremiah was told to write rather than speak the prophecy in Jeremiah 30–33. Since Jeremiah was in jail at the time, the written word would still allow the words of a prophet to reach the people. Also, although the people did not listen to Jeremiah at the time this revelation was given, if it were written down the people who were in captivity might be more teachable and could read it at a later time. Also note that the prophesy is directed to both Judah and Israel. Israel was taken by the Assyrians over 120 years before the time the Lord gave Jeremiah the message in this chapter.As you read Jeremiah 30, look for what the Lord said about Judah’s captivity and what He would do for them if they would trust in Him. This message could also apply to someone captive to sin who feels lost to God. Perhaps he might feel the Lord had also forsaken him. As you read, look also for a personal message someone could get from this chapter.
Understanding the Scriptures
Jeremiah 30
Bring again the captivity (vv. 3, 18)Bring back from captivity
Doth travail (v. 6)Be in labor
Dismayed (v. 10)Worried, terrified
Measure (v. 11)Justice
Chastisement (v. 14)Correction
Devour, devoured (v. 16)Conquered and destroyed
Spoil (v. 16)Destroy
Heap (v. 18)Ruins
Aforetime (v. 20)Before
Proceed (v. 21)Come
Engaged (v. 21)Pledged
Jeremiah 30:12–13—How Can the Lord Help Them If Their Wounds Are “Incurable”?
The Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible helps us understand that verse 12 should say the bruise is not incurable, although it is very bad. And in verse 13 of the Joseph Smith Translation, the Lord again indicated that Judah’s wounds were not incurable, but the people thought they were.
Jeremiah 30:9—Which King David Would the People Serve?
This “David” refers to the Messiah and King whom God promised would be David’s descendant. The promise was fulfilled at the coming of Jesus Christ and will be fulfilled again at the Second Coming.
Studying the Scriptures
Do activities A and B as you study Jeremiah 30.
Activity A iconList the Consequences
1. 1.
Read Jeremiah 30:5–7, 12–15 (including the Joseph Smith Translation in the footnotes) and describe what happened to the Israelites because they forsook their God and worshiped idols.
2. 2.
How are the consequences of idol worship like the consequences of sin today?
Activity B iconMake a Comparison
Read Jeremiah 30: 8–11, 16–17. How is what the Lord promised to do for Judah in captivity like what He could do to help someone captive to sin? | http://www.lds.org/manual/old-testament-seminary-student-study-guide/jeremiah-30?lang=eng | dclm-gs1-009970002 | false | false | {

By: Russell Deza
Break Studios Contributing Writer
Hopefully you won’t need to know how to apologize for standing someone up, but there may come a day when you need to apologize. Standing someone up can cause hard feelings. When you apologize, you want to repair the damage it may have caused in your relationship.
1. Apologize promptlyContact the person that you stood up as soon as possible. They may be angry or concerned and be anxious to hear from you.
2. Be honest. Explain the reason that you didn’t show. Even if it sounds lame like a lame reason, tell her if you lost track of time or got cold feet. If you were delayed at work or got in an accident then you should have called. If you didn’t, explain what happened honestly.
3. Take responsibility. Don’t blame it on your coworkers or your friend or traffic that you should have anticipated. Accept the blame for your actions that resulted in standing someone up.
4. Keep it simple. Rambling on about every detail of what happened sounds defensive and the other person may think you are making it up as you go along. Simply apologize. Acknowledge that she may be angry or worried. Say you regret what happened.
5. Reassure her that you will be more reliable. When you apologize, let her know that you intend to show up in the future and if there should be a crisis that you will be in touch right away.
6. Ask for forgiveness. After standing someone up, apologize and then ask if they will forgive you and ask what you can do to make amends.

Critic score distribution:
1. Positive: 0 out of 25
2. Negative: 14 out of 25
2. A compelling, sometimes rewarding, but ultimately frustrating adventure. [Feb 2008, p.64]
3. If you're of a mind to revisit this singular game, having it in handheld form can be a fun way of re-experiencing it on the go. If you're all Myst-ed out, this port probably won't change your attitude.
4. Quite why they didn't simply make a new Myst specifically for the DS is the real mystery. [Feb 2008, p.84]
5. A good game spoiled quite badly by rough presentation and grainy graphics - not what you want when the whole thing is based on visual puzzles. [Feb 2008, p.63]
6. Old age just doesn't fit Myst as well as it does other games from the same era.
7. Myst is a brilliant adventure game but without the oomph to show off its gorgeous visuals and sound, this DS version is most disappointing.
8. While the puzzles are clever, shrinking the game to a handheld and the lack of a cursor makes solving them more a case of trial-and-error. Purists may dig it, but the vast majority of gamers should pass this adventure by.
9. Myst DS isn't a terrible game, but don't expect to relive the sense of awe you got from the original. [Apr 2008, p.87]
11. A failed down-conversion of a classic PC game of puzzles, mystery and eerie atmosphere. [Apr 2008]
12. 45
Stay very far away from this port. Virtually any other port will do, but not this one.
14. 40
15. It is good to run down a nostalgia path from time to time, but I think it is time to let Myst run its course.
16. On the DS, it is a bland and nearly unplayable "game" that you'll probably hate so much that you’d forget what love was.
17. There's very little consideration for the platform it's been ported to, and even the small handful of DS-specific tools are liable to be useless or buggy.
18. Myst DS is a game you have to avoid like eating Fritos before a first date.
19. This is a weak port that doesn't do Myst justice; it's not worth a revisit even for nostalgia. [June 2008, p.87]
21. 30
Do yourself a favor: Steer clear of Myst DS and keep your memories pure.
22. Whatever merit Myst had left has been blown away by a sloppy touch interface, poorly implemented new features, and overly compressed visuals.
23. What potential it still may hold is then nearly erased by a slipshod port to the DS and the realization that, on a screen this physically small, solving puzzles that rely so heavily on visual clues is an exercise in frustration. [May 2008, p.65]
25. Every aspect of this game is so poorly implemented that one wonders if the intent was to not make a port of Myst but instead to provide burgeoning adventure game designers a case study of how not to make adventure games for the DS.

It's just a beautiful film. Only a woman can write and direct this particular film - and I mean that as a compliment. I look forward to Nicole Holofcener's next work.

A big surprise. Observant but not showy about it, and splendid performances all around. Even the men come off better and more human than their "chick flick" counterparts. Special mention must be made of Goodwin, who's a marvel at suggesting all sorts of things going on in her mind without showing them to you, and especially Keener, who starts off as a hateful bitch and becomes ever-so-slowly sympathetic and even likeable by the end.

Nicole Holofcener pulls off a lot of brilliant moments in her amazing second film, but let me highlight one. Michelle (Keener) isn't a bigot, but there's a self-awareness about Annie's(Raven Goodwin) skin color when she explains the irrelevance of sunscreen to her mother's adopted daughter. The audience sees the black skin too because we're not sure what to make of Annie until the relationship is explained to us. But to Elizabeth, Annie is simply her sister, and she introduces the girl as such to strangers without explanation. She loves Annie unconditionally. Holofcener is a very good writer. She points mirrors. Blethyn, Mortimer, and Goodwin are all good, but Catherine Keener shines a little brighter. The scene at the fast-food restaurant, played out with a minimum of dialogue is incredible. We come to understand that her sister was right about who Michelle hates. Keener is great here. Michelle will soon be introducing Annie as her sister in due time. "Lovely and Amazing" is, well, lovely and amazing. Expand

1. This trio is like a looser, funnier version of the family of wrecks in Woody Allen's ''Interiors.''
2. Lord knows how Holofcener got the performance she did out of Goodwin, but the child actor's Annie, rude and unmanageable, is an extraordinarily rich and complicated figure.

Multi-limbed “Medusoid” is made of transparent elastic silicone and swims with the help of pulsating rat heart cells
Fishy: The artificial jellyfish replica made from silicone polymer and rat heart cells
But real-life scientists created the multi-limbed “Medusoid” which swims with the help of pulsating rat heart cells.
The artificial creature, measuring several centimetres across, is made of transparent elastic silicone.
It propels itself through water with pumping movements when stimulated with electricity, but has no brain - yet.
Experts hope to evolve self-contained future versions that are able to respond to their environment, and even seek energy or food.
Tissue engineers in the US based the design of the Medusoid on the jellyfish, believed to be the most primitive multi-organed animal.
Jellyfish swim using rhythmic movements similar to that of the human heart.
Scientists achieved the same result by seeding rat heart cells into an eight-fingered silicone polymer membrane.
Professor John Dabiri, a member of the team from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), said: “I was surprised that with relatively few components - a silicone base and cells that we arranged - we were able to reproduce some pretty complex swimming and feeding behaviours that you see in biological jellyfish.
Writing in the journal Nature Biotechnology, the scientists explained how they reverse-engineered the jellyfish by mapping its muscle architecture.
This was used to create a pattern of protein molecules, printed on to silicone, that guided the growth and organisation of the rat tissue.
Even when removed from the heart, individual heart cells will contract in response to an electric current.
After releasing their creation into a fluid-filled tank, the scientists were able to “shock” it into moving with five-volt electric pulses.
The Medusoid swam with synchronised contractions mimicking those of a real jellyfish.
Similar techniques could in future have therapeutic applications, such as “biological” pacemakers or bio-engineered organs, say the scientists.
Co-author Janna Nawroth, a PhD student in biology at Caltech, said: “A big goal of our study was to advance tissue engineering.
“In many ways, it is still a very qualitative art, with people trying to copy a tissue or organ just based on what they think is important or what they see as the major components - without necessarily understanding if those components are relevant to the desired function or without analysing first how different materials could be used.
“Our idea was that we would make jellyfish functions - swimming and creating feeding currents - as our target and then build a structure based on that information.”
Prof Dabiri added: “We’re re-imagining how much we can do in terms of synthetic biology.

CANBERRA, Australia (AP)—Australia's highest court said Wednesday that the government exceeded its constitutional powers by paying for chaplains to run programs in public schools. The attorney general plans to try to keep the work going.
The High Court ruling is a victory for Ron Williams, whose 6-year-old son came home from Darling Heights State School singing gospel songs in 2010. Williams sued over the program at the school in Toowoomba in Queensland state.
Six of seven High Court judges agreed that the government exceeded its powers by paying Scripture Union Queensland to provide a school chaplain.
About 2,700 schools around Australia have similar programs. Attorney-General Nicola Roxon said she is examining the ruling's implications.
She said she would examine ways to legally continue the program, such changing the law or paying states to provide the services instead of paying the providers directly.
The voluntary programs include support and guidance about ethics, values, relationships, spirituality and religious issues. It costs the government more than 70 million Australian dollars (US$71 million) a year.
The programs were introduced in 2007, when the conservative Liberal Party led the government. The center-left Labor Party government currently in power had planned to expand it.

Diocese of Orange settles clergy abuse case for $2 million on eve of trial
SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP)—The Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange settled a clergy abuse lawsuit for $2 million on the day of trial, an attorney for the plaintiff said.
Harris has never been charged criminally and denies the allegations. His attorney, James Ingram, did not return a call from The Associated Press seeking comment.
He was part of a $5.2 million settlement in 2001 that the Los Angeles and Orange dioceses made with another of his accusers, a former student at Santa Margarita Catholic High School, where Harris worked after he left Mater Dei. Harris was ousted from the priesthood as a condition of that settlement, Finaldi said.
Federal judge denies sweat lodge request
RIVERTON, Wyo. (AP)—A federal judge has ruled against a Northern Arapaho man's claim that Wyoming prison officials improperly denied him access to a sweat lodge for religious purposes at the state prison in Torrington.
Duquesne U. appeals NLRB order for union vote
PITTSBURGH (AP)—Duquesne University in Pittsburgh is appealing a National Labor Relations Board order that a vote to unionize by the school's part-time faculty should begin Friday.
The university is appealing the NLRB's rejection of the claim by the private, Roman Catholic school that it should be given a religious exemption and be allowed to withdraw from a previous agreement with the United Steelworkers union to allow the election.
The union announced last month that the school agreed to let adjunct faculty at the university's McAnulty College and Graduate School of Liberal Arts vote for two weeks beginning June 22. The votes were to be submitted by mail and counted on July 9.

As early as 1998, the four wheel drive turbo cars look like being replaced by the much-publicised two wheel drive, two litre, normally aspirated cars. The FIA Rallies Commission are expected to approve the changes, due to be ratified at the next meeting of the FIA World Council in June.
Ever since the Audi Quattro burst onto the scene at the start of '81, 4WD cars have dominated top level rallying globally. When the changes have been approved, the existing Formula 2 category will cease to exist as the WRC follows the lead of the respected British Rally Championship and go full Formula 2.
The introduction of the new category in 1998 should also see the re-emergence of Peueot, Renault, Fiat, Nissan, and Vauxall onto the WRC leaderboards.
Along with this change, FIA president Max Mosley has asked for other changes, namely cost cutting and championship restructuring. | http://www.motorsport.com/wrc/news/change-to-2wd-formula-in-1998/ | dclm-gs1-010230002 | false | false | {

And they can't even get the rules clear or the website working.
These are the same idiots who want to ram Obamacare down our throats. That's why these Town Hall meetings are becoming hostile to the politicians.

Phylogenetic analysis of acute bee paralysis virus strains.
Author information
• Department of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, Faculty of Veterinary Sciences, Szent István University, H-1143 Budapest, Hungary.
Reverse transcription-PCR assays have been established for a quick, sensitive, and specific diagnosis of acute bee paralysis virus (ABPV), a common virus of the honeybee (Apis mellifera), directly from clinical samples. A 3,071-nucleotide fragment of the ABPV genome, which includes the entire capsid polyprotein gene, was amplified from Austrian, German, Polish, and Hungarian ABPV samples and sequenced, and the sequences were compared. The alignment of a smaller fragment with ABPV sequences from the United States and the United Kingdom revealed nucleotide identity rates between 89 and 96%, respectively. Phylogenetic trees which display the molecular relationship between the viruses of different geographic origin were constructed.

World J Gastroenterol. 2009 Dec 14;15(46):5761-9.
Ten hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes (A-J) and 34 HBV subgenotypes have been identified so far. HBV genotypes and subgenotypes have distinct geographical distributions, and have been shown to differ with regard to clinical outcome, prognosis, and response to interferon treatment. Infection with subgenotype A2 is frequently associated with high viral load, resulting in acute infection via horizontal transmission. Genotypes A and B are more sensitive to interferon treatment than genotypes D and C, respectively. Genotype B is more frequent in acute hepatitis than genotype C, whereas genotype C (C2) is more frequently associated with an increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), mostly cirrhotic, as compared with genotype B (B2). Genotype mixture is associated with high viral load and worse outcome of HBV infection. HBV mutations in the S genes, especially amino acids substitution at position 145 (G145R), are associated with immune escape, whereas mutations in the PreS or S genes which impair HBsAg secretion could present a risk to blood safety. HBV variants harboring mutations in the viral polymerase gene that confer resistance to nucleoside analogs may be selected during antiviral therapy. Different genotypes have distinct mutation patterns in the PreS and EnhII/BCP/Precore regions. PreS deletions, C1653T, T1753V, and A1762T/G1764A are associated with an increased risk of HCC. HCC-associated HBV mutants may not transmit via mother-to-child transmission, and are likely generated during HBV-induced pathogenesis. Examination of HBV mutations alone or in combination and host genetic susceptibility will be helpful in classifying the HBV-infected subjects who will develop HCC and need active anti-viral treatments.

Pros: Makes system almost instantly responsive, speeds up boot time and installations
Cons: Write speeds can be inconsistent and not as fast as advertised
I recently won a contest and got a slightly used 128GB Kingston SNV425-S2 SSD. This SSD uses a JMicron controller and Toshiba NAND and is rated by Kingston to have read speeds up to 200 MB/s and write speeds up to 160 MB/s. I put the SSD in my Asus EeePC netbook, replacing the existing 250GB 5400RPM Seagate hard drive. The difference is easily noticeable.
The time it takes to boot into Windows has been cut in half or more with the SSD and installing programs takes less time as well. Here are some benchmarks for comparing the Seagate hard drive to the Kingston SSD.
First, Crystal Disk Mark demonstrates the fastest performance in different scenarios. The SSD is obviously faster in sequential and 512k random performance, but more impressive is its 10x better 4k performance. Since this is the size of many common OS system reads and writes, you can imagine how much more responsive Windows feels with the SSD. Still, you will notice that the maximum write speed isn't close to the promised 160 MB/s.
The comparison holds in AS SSD, a benchmark that uses incompressible data to test read and write speeds. The SSD has significantly higher 4k speeds and significantly lower access times. Also, the maximum write speed here is higher, although still not at the 160 MB/s level claimed by Kingston.
ATTO is designed to measure maximum transfer speed, and here we see a weakness in the Kingston SSD: its write speeds appear to be inconsistent and variable, at times lower than those of the Seagate drive. Still, the read speeds stay in the stratosphere.
And finally, HD Tune compares average read speed across the drive and access speed for different file sizes. You will note that the Seagate has a wide variation between maximum read speed and minimum, while the Kingston stays much more consistent. And again, the difference in access time and IOPS (input-output operations per second) is clear between the hard drive and the SSD.
In conclusion, despite the Kingston SSD not being able to live up to its advertised write speeds, it is a very worthwhile upgrade over a standard notebook hard drive. Its superior read speeds, vastly superior 4k read/write speeds, and much faster access times make this value-oriented SSD a keeper.
Fantastic results. I'm almost to the point where I don't ever want to buy another HD ever a gain and just want to stay with SSD. I just want the prices to fall faster and the sizes to increase.
I would feel much safer knowing my data is on an SSD.
It's hard to complain though. 10 years ago we were complaining about the cost of 40GB hard drives for laptops. Remember that??
SSDs are advancing much faster than hard drives at the moment. In the last 5 years, they've gone from the same maximum read/write speeds as typical notebook hard drives to 5 or more times that speed for the fastest ones today. They also are decreasing in price with each process shrink, and those are occurring with great frequency.
All that to say, I'm with you on SSDs. I only plan to buy hard drives in the future for backup if possible.
I had one of the Kingston V plus [samsung controller] models for a while, it didn't live up to it's specs either, in fact it had worse write speed than a normal HDD, was only 64GB, which was a pain, I sold it and went back to seagate hybrid drives, which aren't much slower for booting/launching progs.
Minimum size I would get is 256GB now, and would prefer two 128GB SSD' s in RAID 0 due to the sluggish, bloated nature of windows 7 I/O, but the cost for either is still pretty hard to swallow
We need mass adoption to bring the prices down, unfortunately they're too expensive for mass adoption, joe 6 packs like lots of capacity to store all their stuff on more than ultimate speed.
Most of the current controllers [2nd Gen Sandforce, 2nd Gen Marvell, Intel (320 series), Samsung (470 series)] have learned from the mistakes of previous controllers. At this point, most of the SSDs out with one of the above controllers are pretty good, performance-wise. None of them will drop in performance like the old Samsung controller when its cache got full. They're better designed now.
Nice review Djembe. You've inspired me- When I get home tonight I'll write up a review of my Intel 320 Series SSD.
SSDs are really advance and faster drive then the older drives. This is the best deal for the new computers and helps them in light and fast working.
i will wait until the price drops lil bit....... | http://www.notebookforums.com/products/kingston-snv425-s2-solid-state-drive/reviews/4620 | dclm-gs1-010350002 | false | false | {

AP, Special to the New York Times
Published: October 27, 1987
A defense expert raised questions today about a Nazi identity card crucial to the war crimes case against John Demjanjuk, testifying that the Russians often forged World War II documents.
The trial of the retired Ohio autoworker resumed after a two-month recess.
Defense lawyers called the expert, Avraham Shifrin, in hopes of proving that the K.G.B. had forged an identity card that the prosecution contends shows Mr. Demjanjuk worked for the Nazi SS.
Mr. Demjanjuk, 67 years old, is accused of being the Ukrainian guard known as ''Ivan the Terrible'' who operated the gas chambers at the Treblinka death camp in Nazi-occupied Poland, where 850,000 Jews died.
Mr. Shifrin, an Israeli who runs a center in Jerusalem on activities of the Soviet security and intelligence service, said that soon after the war, ''the K.G.B. consulted me in order to fabricate dossiers on people who had fled the Soviet Union.''
Mr. Demjanjuk was stripped of his American citizenship and extradited to Israel in February 1986. He maintains he is a victim of mistaken identity. | http://www.nytimes.com/1987/10/27/world/israeli-witness-voices-doubt-on-demjanjuk-nazi-id-card.html?src=pm | dclm-gs1-010390002 | false | false | {

Published: June 12, 1988
THE KIROV AFFAIR By Adam Ulam. 404 pp. San Diego: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich. $19.95.
IN a conversation last winter, the Russian emigre writer Vassily Aksyonov complained that ''educated Americans know the Kirov Ballet, but they don't know who Kirov was.''
Adam Ulam, historian and director of the Russian Research Center at Harvard, apparently sensed a similar lack and prefaces his intriguing first novel with a historical note on Kirov. This reviewer will do the same, and for the same reason.
Born in 1886, Sergei Kirov was a Bolshevik by 1905, having come up through the usual route of organizing strikes and running underground printing operations. As Kirov noted in a brief autobiographical statement, prison was his true university both because of the good libraries and the horrors that strengthened a revolutionary's resolve: ''The only hindrances to study were the savage sentences of courts as a result of which tens of people were hanged. On many a night the solitary block . . . echoed with condemned men shouting heart-rending farewells to life and their comrades as they were led away to execution. But in general, it was immeasurably easier to study in prison than as an underground militant at liberty.'' That sang-froid stood Kirov in good stead. By 1934 he was the party boss of Leningrad, a member of the Politburo, and, along with Stalin, Lazar Kaganovich and Andrei Zhdanov, one of the four secretaries of the Central Committee. Extremely popular, Kirov was viewed by some as the leader around whom opposition to Stalin could crystallize.
But it was his assassination, not his life, that made Sergei Kirov a central figure in Soviet mythology. On Dec. 1, 1934, in a corridor at Smolny Institute, the Leningrad party headquarters, Kirov was shot in the back of the head by Leonid Nikolaev, a man embittered, perhaps deranged, by crippling illness and failure. Stalin personally oversaw the investigation, which ''revealed'' a conspiracy against the top leaders, himself included. The great Terror was launched, to culminate in 1937, a year so nightmarish that it is enough for Russians simply to say '37 to conjure images of horror. In the meantime, streets and cities were named after Kirov, not to mention a theater and a ballet company.
It is generally assumed that Stalin was behind Kirov's murder, which both removed a rival and afforded him the chance to dispense with his enemies, real and imagined. But the facts, if they exist in some K.G.B. archive, have never been made public despite all Continued on next page the anti-Stalinism of the Khrushchev and Gorbachev years. That void invites speculation, and it is into that void that Adam Ulam bravely steps.
Mr. Ulam, a biographer of Stalin and the author of ''The Bolsheviks,'' among other books on Soviet history, uses fiction to create an alternate history both of the Kirov affair and the recent succession of Soviet leaders. In fact, the two are profoundly linked in this version of what might have been. Leontiev, the novel's aging Soviet leader, is about to die. The most promising replacement is Mikhail Kondratiev - like Kirov, an heir apparent. Kondratiev is the only man alive who knows the truth of Kirov's death, the only man ever to know it besides Stalin. That secret comes back to haunt Kondratiev as he jockeys for position in 1982. | http://www.nytimes.com/1988/06/12/books/murder-then-terror.html?src=pm | dclm-gs1-010410002 | false | false | {

By JANE PERLEZ, Special to the New York Times
Published: August 09, 1988
Skilled Ethiopian technicians crouched in a hangar at the airport here delicately hammering the finishing touches to a svelte little biplane.
The fifth in a production line set up by Ethiopian Airlines, the citrus-yellow crop-duster is being built with a New York State company as part of this country's eternal skirmish with nature.
But along with its good works and its American connection, the Ag-Cat, as it is known, is notable as the latest venture of a profit-making and efficient air carrier that flourishes in one of the most hard-line Marxist countries, where the concept of perestroika has yet to appear.
''We don't know why, but we have met no resistance from the Government,'' said Bisrat Negatu, the deputy general manager of corporate planning. ''The Government gives us autonomy.'' Flowers for the Passengers
So much so that the company is run on strict capitalist principles, makes a profit every year and pays taxes. The company made steady gains in each of the last 10 years, reaching a net profit of $8.5 million in 1986.
An airline that makes money and continues to expand, Ethiopian Airlines is something of an anomaly by any standard. On a continent that is legendary for chaotic travel on national airlines that often treat schedules nonchalantly, Ethiopian Airlines is a refreshing exception.
The planes are usually on time; the service often luxurious. On the red-eye from London to Addis Ababa, first-class passengers are coddled with fresh flowers, Moet and Chandon, filet steak, Stilton cheese and American movies.
Started in 1946 for Emperor Haile Selassie by Trans World Airlines, the company had T.W.A. general managers and access to T.W.A. resources until 1971, three years before the revolution that brought the Marxist Government of Mengistu Haile Mariam to power. Since then the airline has grown without foreign help and with the blessing, but not the direct subsidy, of the Government. It has developed maintenance and pilot training sites for itself and other African and Middle East airlines. It boasts the only F.A.A.-certified aircraft maintenance base in Africa, aside from South Africa. A New Plane From Lockheed
In the jet maintenance hangar last week, engines from Uganda, Kenya and Zambia airlines were mounted on trolleys ready for overhaul.
Hangars adjoining the Ag-Cat production line bustled with work on Boeing 767's and 737's, and a new cargo plane, the L-100-30, freshly delivered from Lockheed in Marietta, Ga., was being prepared for the green, red and yellow colors of the airline.
The rights to build the Ag-Cat were acquired from the Schweitzer Aircraft Corporation in Elmira, N.Y., and some of the airline's technicians went to the company's plant to learn the techniques for building the plane. Ethiopian Airlines will have a virtual monopoly on the manufacture and sale of the aircraft in Africa.
''We can't meet the demand for them, especially because of the problem of the locusts,'' said Abebaw Engida, the deputy general manager of technical services, referring to the recent plagues of locusts in northern Africa. With pride, he added, ''We already have inquiries from other countries, but we're not talking to them about it yet.'' No Planes From Soviets
Ethiopian has been a consistent buyer of American passenger jets, and despite the urging from time to time of Government ideologues, it has ignored opportunities to buy planes from the Soviet Union, the country's principal patron. The millions of dollars of American plane purchases helped make impoverished Ethiopia the third largest export market in Africa for American goods. | http://www.nytimes.com/1988/08/09/world/addis-ababa-journal-against-the-odds-airline-takes-off-and-flies-high.html | dclm-gs1-010420002 | false | false | {

Published: November 08, 1990
From Quebec down to the bayous of south Louisiana, French-speaking North Americans have held onto musical styles as well as language. "La Veillee," the Folk Masters program on Tuesday night at Weill Hall, traced connections in an amiable, well-researched concert that showed the music gathering syncopation as it moved southward and European marches mutated into Cajun two-steps. As it has for generations, the music continues to run in families.
Irene Berthiaume opened the program with parlor songs from Quebec. Accompanied by Noella Marquis on piano, she sang the sweet, bouncy songs that might be heard at a party called "la veillee" -- light-hearted ditties, sometimes with choruses of nonsense syllables, that (according to program notes) might be romances, lullabies, historical chronicles or topical songs. One of them was new, about coming to New York City to perform. Over the oom-pahing piano chords, Mrs. Berthiaume sang in a clear voice with a hint of tartness, a tone that fans of Kate and Anna McGarrigle (who are from Montreal) would recognize.
Arcade Richard, a harmonica player from Leominster, Mass., and Ben Guillemette of the Maine French Fiddlers joined Mrs. Berthiaume in two songs, and Mr. Richard followed them with modestly spectacular harmonica solos: huffing out rhythmic chords behind the melodies, linking the harmonica to the accordion. In one solo, he step-danced as he played, tapping out rhythms with crossed and uncrossed legs, his upper body unmoving.
In the music of the Maine French Fiddlers from Westbrook, Me. -- four fiddlers accompanied by two guitars, piano and string bass -- French fiddling meets its Celtic kin: Irish, Scottish and country music. The fiddlers usually play together, not like an orchestral string section but with individual turns and ornaments, giving the tunes a rich, cheerful buzz where the players diverge. Some tunes alternated unison and harmony playing, the fiddle lines fanning out in a burst of consonance.
Mr. Richard returned for more stepdancing, spurring the fiddlers to play harder. In one song, each fiddler played separately, revealing the variations behind their unanimity, and for a finale, 11-year-old Daniel Guillemette joined the group, proudly fiddling alongside his grandfather Ben.
Eddie Lejeune and the Morse Playboys, from Morse, La., are heirs to a Cajun tradition. Mr. Lejeune's father, Iry Lejeune, was an accordionist who helped spur a Cajun-music revival; Eddie Lejeune still plays his father's button accordion, adding stutters and fluttering triplets to the melodies of waltzes and two-steps and singing with the pinched, earnest voice that connotes simultaneous heartbreak and insouciance in Cajun songs.
The group also includes Hubert Maitre on guitar and Leonel Leleux, a fiddler and fiddle maker who appeared on some of the earliest Cajun records in the 1920's. His robust tone and cocksure phrasing gave the group deep roots.
In its second show, the Folk Masters series had worked the bugs out of its format, which includes interviews with the musicians during each set. Nick Spitzer, the host (and the series' artistic director), generally stayed on the sidelines, and his questions elicited stories about hard farm work and close-knit families. When he asked Daniel Guillemette why he took up the fiddle, the boy's answer was quick: "Because my grandfather does it." | http://www.nytimes.com/1990/11/08/arts/review-folk-french-american-flair.html?src=pm | dclm-gs1-010430002 | false | false | {

Published: May 16, 1992
Matsumi Kanemitsu, a painter closely associated with the New York Abstract Expressionist school, died on Monday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 69 years old.
He died of lung cancer, said Nancy Uyemura, a friend.
Mr. Kanemitsu was proficient in four separate mediums: sumi, or Japanese ink drawing; watercolor; lithography, and painting on canvas. His painting was done with acrylics, using a complex technique that involved brushing, staining, pouring and glazing to achieve abstract imagery that often reflected landscapes and the forces of nature.
He also worked all of his life with Japanese sumi ink and brushes, maintaining that the dramatic effects of color painting could also be achieved in black and white and the gradations between them. In 1961 he earned a Ford Foundation grant to work at the Tamarind Lithography Workshop in Los Angeles and readily translated the techniques he had learned in sumi painting into lithography. He exhibited widely throughout the United States, and his work is owned by a number of public institutions in this country and Japan. World War II Experiences
Mr. Kanemitsu was born on May 28, 1922, in Ogden, Utah, to Japanese parents. He was taken to Japan at age 3, and grew up in a suburb of Hiroshima. He came back to the United States in 1940, enlisting in the United States Army in 1941. But after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, he was arrested and sent to a series of Army detention camps. With art supplies provided by the American Red Cross, he began to draw with pen and ink and pastels. Eventually, he was released from surveillance and volunteered for overseas duty as a hospital assistant in Europe. His Army tour ended in 1946.
In the postwar years, Mr. Kanemitsu came to New York and studied at the Art Students League with the Japanese painter Yasuo Kuniyoshi. He began to associate with the practitioners of the growing New York school -- Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline and Jackson Pollock, among others -- who inspired his work in black-and-white watercolors. By 1960 he was exhibiting at galleries in New York and Los Angeles, and in 1962 his work traveled with the Museum of Modern Art show "14 Americans."
Eventually settling in Los Angeles, Mr. Kanemitsu taught at the Chouinard Art School from 1965 to 1970, and from 1971 to 1983 at the Otis Art Institute there. In 1990 a show of his lithographs over a 30-year period was presented in the museums of four Japanese cities.
His survivors include three children, Patia Valazquez, Zoe Kanemitsu and Paul Kanemitsu, all of Los Angeles; his mother, Shizuma Kanemitsu; a sister, Sumie Kodama, and a brother, Yoji, all of Hiroshima. | http://www.nytimes.com/1992/05/16/obituaries/matsumi-kanemitsu-69-artist-who-worked-in-four-mediums.html | dclm-gs1-010440002 | false | false | {

By Edward Rothstein
Published: April 07, 2001
The triumphant capstone of the exhibition ''Vermeer and the Delft School'' at the Metropolitan Museum of Art is ''The Art of Painting,'' a painting that Vermeer kept in his own household until his death in 1675. ''No picture is more important to the theme of this exhibition,'' Walter Liedtke, the exhibition's curator, writes in the catalog.
It is easy enough to see why. This exhibition is about context. The 15 Vermeers on display (nearly half of the painter's oeuvre) are surrounded by 70 paintings by other artists along with 35 drawings and other artifacts. And nearly all of these artworks celebrate the preoccupations of mid-17th-century Delft with the pursuit of perspective, the properties of light and the nuances of domestic life.
In ''The Art of Painting,'' these themes are conjoined. A woman dressed as Clio, the muse of History -- Art's grandest context -- is posing for an artist, presumably Vermeer himself. And the meaning, as in much Dutch painting, is allegorical. The woman holds a trumpet (fame) and wears a laurel crown (honor). On the table beside her is a mask (artistic imitation). And on the wall is a map of the Netherlands (the terrain of painterly glory). Meanwhile the luminous flow of light, the sculpturing of interior space and the scene's introspective intimacy seem a consummation of Vermeer's ambitions and Delftian preoccupations.
But as with many of Vermeer's paintings, what seems to be shown and what is actually revealed do not always coincide. Why, for example, in Vermeer's apparent tribute to his art, are there so many peculiarities? The model's costume falls in stiff folds. The trumpet is held with an awkwardly inverted hand. Instead of nobly posing, the model is distracted. Her downward glance, instead of seeming allegorical, is almost touchingly human; it seems to be directed at a slip of wrinkled paper that inexplicably lies on the table beside her, the sole ''prop'' that doesn't seem to be a prop.
As for the painter, his hand, the instrument for his work, is an undifferentiated ball of flesh, unlike the expressively detailed hands of his model. In his painting, he begins not with an outline, or attention to the model's proportions, but with her oddly colored laurel crown. The window's light leaves much of the painter's canvas in shadow so dim that accurate painting seems impossible.
These oddities suggest that ''The Art of Painting'' may be the opposite of what it seems. The painter is not an exemplar of Vermeer's ideal, but an artist who is looking for the wrong things, focusing on the laurel and its glory rather the human glance and its subtleties. He is working in shadow rather than light. In his painting he has left no room for anything apart from the mythological figure, not even the trumpet she holds. His attention is off-kilter, unbalanced.
As for the model, she only comes to life by refusing her awkward role of Clio, breaking her pose, turning away. That wrinkled paper may be like the mysterious letter read by the woman in another of Vermeer's famous portraits, something that has originated outside the painting's frame. The model is actually interesting because she is not Clio.
So for Vermeer the ideal painter is not concerned with poses but with flashes of consciousness; he is not interested in the past or future, but in the evanescent all-too-human moment. This is also Vermeer's project: an almost metaphysical quest for the precariously poised instant, an ideal we would now consider photographic.
In fact, in a forthcoming book from Oxford University Press, ''Vermeer's Camera,'' the Vermeer scholar Philip Steadman argues that the dimensions of Vermeer's rooms, the geometry of their perspective, even the size of the canvases, prove that Vermeer literally had photographic ambitions. Many of Vermeer's scenes, Mr. Steadman suggests, were projected through a glass lens using a camera obscura, an instrument that one of Vermeer's contemporaries, the scientist Constantijn Huygens, had championed in 1622: ''It is not possible to describe to you the beauty of it in words: all painting is dead by comparison.'' That projected image, Mr. Steadman argues (following a tradition of scholarly argument) provided the foundation for Vermeer's imaginative transformations.
It is as if Vermeer put a small sample of life under the microscope, just as his neighbor, Leeuwenhoek, did in his revolutionary observations of protozoa. In a room, by a window's light, milk is poured, a letter is read, an instrument is played. This might make it seem as if Vermeer were uninterested in the world at large and its history. There is no explicit sign in his work of the devastating arsenal explosion in Delft in 1654, for example, or of the later war with France. And there is little hint of the debts, deaths and complications that Anthony Bailey outlines in his fine new biography, ''Vermeer: A View of Delft'' (Henry Holt). Last summer, at the Lincoln Center Festival, the director Peter Greenaway even exacted revenge for Vermeer's supposedly restricted vision. In his opera ''Writing to Vermeer,'' cascades of blood crudely flushed across the stage, a deluge of ugliness and suffering.
But Vermeer was not turning away from the world; he was distilling its tensions, condensing them into a gesture or gaze. In ''Woman With a Balance,'' for example, destruction, suffering and vanity are allegorically represented. A woman holding a delicate scale stands between an apocalyptic painting of the Last Judgment and a tabletop with a haphazard array of pearls and gold. But at the painting's center, the woman's fingertips, holding a scale, compress these realms into a single, ordered point.
Matter and spirit converge. The scale's perfectly balanced trays glint with immaterial particles of light. But the balance is so precarious that it could be disrupted by a single misguided breath or brush stroke. That balance is where Vermeer's art of painting flourishes, an answer to history's mess and Clio's pretense. | http://www.nytimes.com/2001/04/07/arts/connections-hidden-in-the-light-of-vermeer-s-window.html?pagewanted=all&src=pm | dclm-gs1-010450002 | false | false | {

Published: August 24, 2003
(Page 2 of 4)
Yet the picture he paints of O'Hara is a frequently endearing one, suggesting the doubts and anxieties behind the abrasiveness. O'Hara is so needy and so transparent in his snobbery and social climbing -- with his Rolls and his tweeds, his collection of club ties and rosettes (many from clubs he didn't belong to) -- that you can't help forgiving him. And Wolff reminds us that in his later years O'Hara mellowed considerably. His second and third marriages -- to Belle Wylie, with whom he had a daughter, Wylie, and, after Belle died, to her friend Katharine Barnes (known as Sister) -- were extremely happy ones. Wealthy and more or less contented, O'Hara settled into a life of uxorious country squiredom, first in Quogue, on Long Island, and then in Princeton. He gave up drinking, on doctor's orders, and became so serene, Wolff gently proposes, that it was actually bad for his work. Like a lot of writers, O'Hara wrote best when he had something to prove.
O'Hara had three great themes: class, sex and drinking. The last two he taught himself; the first was his birthright. He was born in 1905 in Pottsville, Pa., the eldest of eight children in a prosperous and prominent local family. His father, Patrick, was a hot-tempered but accomplished physician, legendary for his skill at skull surgery. The O'Haras lived on Mahantongo Street, the town's fanciest address, in a mansion that formerly belonged to the Yuengling brewing family; they owned five automobiles, a show farm and a string of horses; they were members of the Pottsville Club and the Schuylkill Country Club. Yet they were Irish and they were Catholic, and this -- in O'Hara's mind, anyway -- meant that they never quite belonged. He grew up with an acute awareness of all the tiny indicators of rank in the social hierarchy -- the clothes, the slang, the fraternity pins and handshakes -- and he studied them the way the Duc de Saint-Simon studied the wigs and the chair placement at the court of the Sun King. He also grew up with that most precious of writerly gifts: a sense of place. He learned every inch of Pottsville and the surrounding coal country and eventually recreated it, lovingly and fastidiously, in his fictional Gibbsville -- a miniature world as complete as Yoknapatawpha, only without the mythologizing.
What Princeton was for Fitzgerald, Yale was for the young O'Hara -- the magical, beckoning realm where he believed he would finally come into his own. But he was a wretched student, bouncing from one second-rate prep school to another until, in 1925, his father died intestate and left the family virtually penniless. O'Hara reluctantly gave up his dreams of New Haven -- he saw no point in going unless he could go in the proper style -- and for the rest of his life he fantasized about which Yale clubs he might have belonged to, which secret society would have tapped him; amazingly, as late as 1935, when he had already published three books, he was still talking about enrolling as a Yale pre-med.

The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer Transcript
Hurricane Bonnie hit North Carolina last night with 115 mile per hour winds. The vast storm touched shore at Cape Fear. More than 16,000 people spent the night in shelters across North Carolina, some 400,000 area residents lost power. After a background report, Phil Ponce talks with North Carolina Governor Jim Hunt.
PHIL PONCE: Hurricane Bonnie hit North Carolina last night with 115 mile per hour winds. The vast storm touched shore at Cape Fear. More than 16,000 people spent the night in shelters across North Carolina, some 400,000 area residents lost power. But after hours of high winds, pounding rain, downed trees and power lines, Bonnie lost some of its punch. By late morning today the winds slowed down to about 65 miles per hour and Bonnie was downgraded to a tropical storm. But Bonnie's threat is far from over. Heavy rainfall could continue as Bonnie slowly moves up the North Carolina coast.
JAMES ADAMS, Elizabeth City Police Department: I've been here all my life, and I've never seen the water up like it is now. And the whole time I've been here it's worse than what I ever seen it.
PHIL PONCE: Residents were relieved, though, there were no early reports of injuries or deaths. Just two years ago the area was hit by back-to-back Hurricanes Berth and Fran; they caused more than thirty deaths and more than $6 billion in property damage.
RESIDENT: Well, it looks pretty good compared to the last storm. The last storm the boats were all everywhere.
PHIL PONCE: The question now: How much longer will tropical storm Bonnie linger over North Carolina?
PHIL PONCE: And here with the latest on Bonnie's impact is North Carolina Governor Jim Hunt. Governor Hunt, what can you tell us?
GOV. JIM HUNT, (D) North Carolina: Well, Phil, we've had this hurricane over us for about a day and a half now. I've never seen a hurricane linger around and keep battering an area like this one has. We do believe it's moving on toward the coast now up in our Northeast, and we believe that by about midnight tonight it will perhaps leave our shores, and we will be very, very thankful. We've had a lot of damage. You've had a good bit on your program about that tonight. We've got a lot of trees down, power lines down, a lot of flooded areas. We've had some real structural damage, a roof off of a hospital on the coast, the fire department damaged, so there's a lot of damage, but perhaps the greatest damage is going to come from the flooding to septic systems and to residences that the water is going into, and that's going to be tremendous and will come over the next week.
PHIL PONCE: So you're saying that the impact right now is not so much what happened as far as the winds are concerned but what's-what will be evolving as far as flooding is concerned. How much of your state might be affected by flooding, do you think?
GOV. JIM HUNT: Well, it certainly will be the coastal area. You saw some of that tonight. But a lot of our rivers-we had such a tremendous rain-just a little East of here we had about six inches in the rain gauges, that probably meant ten inches because a lot of it blows over. We heard that areas were going to get up to 20 inches of rain, and that means you're going to have flooding-those little tributaries will come into the larger creeks and then into the rivers, and we're going to see that go up and up and up over the next several days. We'll have residential areas that will be flooded out, and I particularly want to urge our people in North Carolina not to take chances with the floods, don't drive into a road that is flooding. Don't let your children play out in floodwaters. Over half of the deaths in a hurricane come from the flooding, and that's still ahead for us.
PHIL PONCE: Speaking of deaths, no deaths, no serious injuries so far, as far as you know?
GOV. JIM HUNT: We are so thankful, Phil. We had terrible deaths from Fran. We had great, great damage from Bertha two years ago. Our people learned from that. We had between a quarter and a half million people evacuate that coast. They came off quickly. They did it in good spirit. We had about 19,000 in shelters last night. So we've really learned to deal with this, and I commend our people who've worked so hard on it. Now we need to get everybody, of course, to pitch in and help their neighbors. We've got a hotline for people who will give the goods and services, and we're going to pitch in and do that job, and we're going to come out all right.
PHIL PONCE: Governor, how many people are still out of their homes and when can they go back?
GOV. JIM HUNT: Well, a lot of people-you know, who were in the shelters last night-probably are local folks. That was about 19,000. Some of them went back in today. We expect about 11,000 in shelters tonight. Others will go back tomorrow. I think most of them will be back tomorrow. Now we had a lot of people on the coast on our marvelous beaches who probably went home and we hope that Danielle will spare us next week and our beaches can get back in business. They are great places to vacation. But I think local folks will be back in their homes tomorrow evening.
PHIL PONCE: Danielle, of course, being the other storm that is in the works.
GOV. JIM HUNT: That's right. PHIL PONCE: Speaking of your beaches, one of the areas of concern is the outer banks; that's considered a fragile area. Any word on that?
GOV. JIM HUNT: Well, the hurricane is bearing off of that area now. We are very concerned about the large sound right back of it. The water first was pushed up to the left, to the West, and then it's going to go back to the East, and we are very concerned about what that tidal over wash will be on the outer banks. Again, we don't know that. That's in the process right now, and we hope and pray that it will not be too bad on them tonight.
PHIL PONCE: Governor, you talked about the extent of the damage in your state in 1996. Bertha and Fran caused billions of dollars of damages. Any idea where-what the range might be this time?
GOV. JIM HUNT: Phil, we just don't know that yet. Yesterday I requested federal assistance. Today-in less than 24 hours-the President responded to us. We're very grateful for that-declared us a federal disaster area-and FEMA was in here working with our people. We will establish that damage in the next couple of days. It's going to be large, but it will not be what Fran was, and we're so thankful.
PHIL PONCE: Governor, what is the practical impact of getting Federal Disaster designation? What does that mean to the average homeowner, or average businessperson?
GOV. JIM HUNT: What that means is that they can get help for the actual damage to their house; if they're put out of their homes and have to go rent a room, they can get help for that rent. They can get small business loans if their businesses are hurt. We've had a lot of damage to agriculture. And we are going to pitch in and help them as much as we can. There is one number that the folks can call for FEMA to get help with that. And we're circulating that broadly across our state.
PHIL PONCE: Governor, there are reports that a lot of people were still recovering from what happened in 1996, as far as getting their repairs and that sort of thing, and that it's a source of frustration to a lot of folks, that this comes before the results of 1996 aren't fully dealt with. Do you sense that frustration?
GOV. JIM HUNT: Well, there is some of that, Phil. We had whole areas of beach that were washed away by Fran two years ago. Those people are just beginning to build back. In some cases we had to draw the line as to where they could build so that they would not be in harm's way when they rebuilt. They're just getting back to that. We're just rebuilding some of those roads. So it's really frustrating to have this come along, but thank goodness-I don't think the winds this time completely destroyed what they were building back, so at least we're still moving ahead, and we're going to keep moving. North Carolinians are tough people, and we will help each other, and we'll come out of this.
PHIL PONCE: Governor, given some of the predictions of what Bonnie might have done, is there-do you feel a sense of relief?
GOV. JIM HUNT: Oh, listen, we are relieved, and we are thankful. This, when it started in, it was such a broad storm, you saw it on the television-it was 115 mile an hour winds, and those winds came across us. That rain battered us all this time. I don't know how we came out this well. We are just thankful. Maybe we've had a miracle here, and I hope we'll have some more.
PHIL PONCE: Governor Hunt, thank you very much.

in reply to Re^3: Is it possible to create a sub exclusive to a sub?
in thread Is it possible to create a sub exclusive to a sub?
Incidently, why do you want a sub sub? Is it so your sub can access private variables, or so your sub can use a routine name that may already be in use, or what? Just curious.
One of the nice things about block-local sub definitions is that they stay local to that block. In other words, you only have to understand that sub in the context of the block it's declared in, which makes a lot of sense when that's the only place it gets used.
For example, I have some C code that reads a TARGA image. Obviously, I don't want to do everything in a single function, so I break it up into one user-visible routine (read_tga_file) and two helper routines (read_tga_header and read_tga_image). The two helpers only ever get called within read_tga_file, so why should they be part of tga.o's global symbol space? If I could declare the helpers within read_tga_file's symbol space, anyone reading the file would know that they only get used there. That's a win, especially when the helper functions are a bit less obviously specialized. Lexical function declarations let you encode some of your assumptions in source code.
This idea of "declare stuff in the smallest enclosing lexical block" is ubiquitous in the functional-programming world. As usual, Perl lets you do it with minimal fuss.

The rain is comming down hard
on my window
and its cool to touch
frozen like icicals
My fingers seize up
My eyes glisten in the
as i step onto the pavement
My shadow is barely there
Goosbumps arise on my skin
My face goes pale and fair
The night is so cool
and the rain has stoped its
Haunting me, following
i hide in the shadows
and hug myself to keep
me warm
Scared but my eyes are
wide shut.
I can hear footsteps behind
me, but their so faint
I take a chance and look
to see whos is eager to be
my mate.
A silky black coat
perky pink ears
Sativa my cat, i havnt seen
her for years.

'Yes', he thought, 'everyone will die',
except 'moi'-
Death the lot of a bourgeois
whose kids insure a 'kinda' immortality'.
So it was with some surprise
that, getting up, one morn
and stumbling to the john
he voided a stream of velvety, red urine,
and, heart racing, imaged the boy
whose closed, dark-fringed eyes
and snowy fingers, clasped in a rosary's
grip, long ago convinced him not to die.
Then, holding despair at bay, dutifully
(though with shaking hands) rang his doctor,
dreading more than cancer any answer
that might compromise a creditable lie.
And, to cut short a tale already too long,
suffered the interventions of a specialist,
who, disappointed, diagnosed a stone.
and promptly dismissed him.
'See', he said, 'I was right! '
Death's for poor, stupid sinners
And slept, that night, unusually tight
and went, the next, as usual, to dinner.

by Archer Crosley
If I had to stress one thing that you could do for your family to enhance its quality and productivity, it would be the family dinner or meal.
I believe there should be one meal per day where the family gets together and shares a common experience.
The family dinner is not just a time to exchange pleasantries; the family dinner is when the family sits down and reviews family affairs. How are the kids doing in school? Is Johnny cleaning is room? Where would they all like to go on summer vacation?
Communication is the key to having a successful family, and the family meal is where an important part of family communication takes place.
One large difference, that I have noticed over the years, between a family that is working well and one that is not is the level of communication.
Having a family dinner can be tough when both parents are working and the kids have varying schedules. Still, there should be at least fifteen to twenty minutes per day when you can all sit down together.
The length of the meeting is not important; what is important is that everyone, including kids, show up, and for these reasons:
1. The family dinner sends a statement to the child that there are family obligations, and by extension societal obligations, that are mandatory. When we tell our children that they must eat dinner with the rest of us, we are sending a subtle message that they don't live in a free-for-all universe where anyone can do anything they want any time they want.
2. The family dinner sends your child a message that they count as a member of the family, that what they have to say is important. Now, if all you are going to say at the family dinner is "shut up," then you are missing the entire point of having the family dinner.
The entire point of the family dinner is to make your family better and more cohesive; it's a working meeting; it's not a "show meeting" to give you the parent the illusion that you are living the life of the perfect family (which does not exist anyway).
These meetings provide the opportunity for you the parent to impress your values. Basic civil values such as giving thanks, using words like please and thank you, and asking to be excused from the table are important to the development of your child. These values teach your child how to more effectively communicate with others now and in the future.
Too many families make the mistake of breaking up the family dinner as the kids get into the teen-age years. I think that is a mistake; your teen-agers are far from being adults; and there is still a lot that they can learn from you. Don't forfeit your involvement to a television set in their room (where they go to eat by themselves) or another youth who just wants your kids to bum around and engage in activities that they are not yet ready to handle.
Teen-agers are not adults yet; and they require more involvement more so than ever. There are plenty of ways for teen-agers to express their independence; the family meal should not be one of them.
If they don't like it, too bad. You're the one with the experience, and you're the one paying the bills and the clean-up expense for their mistakes.
Make your children attend the family dinner, and make sure that their privileges are contingent upon that.
Your kids will thank you in the long run.

Mr. President,
Preposterous, isn’t it Mr. President?

I understand this line of thinking, but it is way over-blown. A state could allow same sex marriage simply by writing their laws to state a union between TWO unrelated (state definition here) humans. That would pretty much take care of the polygamy, incestuous and bestiality definitions of marriage that you intimate would happen if same sex marriage was legally recognized.
These myopic, emption-laden arguments are the type that only obscure the entire issue and make the anti-gay marriage contingent look like kooks.
• http://redpillreport.net/ RedPillReport
You are so perception, davenj1… It was meant to be overblown…and smarty-pants you…you picked right up on it. Impressive!
I look forward to you going through my other posts…and finding ways to nit-pick them, too! You are a happy, happy man.

the sorry attempt at irony of your entry. It sounded soooo much like other stupid arguments, I jus thought you were restating a supid agument. But then again, you are, arem’t you?

“Nobody should be allowed to tell me who I can marry.” It was repeated in one ad with a sad looking young man wistfully gazing out of his window. bemoaning the fact that he was being denied his right to love who he chose.
And this same reasoning could be used with a sad looking brother, wistfully gazing out of his window, watching his true love, his twin brother, playing basketball on the family’s patio. And he looks at the camera and sobs, “why is it illegal for me to marry the person I love?”
I have just watched a bunch of anti- prop 8 (defining marriage as between one man and one woman) videos and EVERY single argument stated could be used to promote marriage between two siblings.
• thescotman
The consenting adults argument should apply to all consenting adults. Even brothers. Sisters. Father and son.
• thescotman
You are either too dense to get the point the author was making, or you are just a troll looking to criticize any piece that is not one of your long, boring, unreadable pieces. Either way, you look like the kook.
Let me help you understand the author’s point: for Obama to be consistent, he would need to fight for the rights of all consenting adults to marry. Otherwise, he would be advocating for the discrimination of someone.
BTW, hermits like you that have nothing better to do than try to pick everything apart are sad and pathetic. Go away.
• davenj1
thescotman….that you cannot think beyond a 600 word article here at redstate. I will be sure to shorten and dumb down an article in the future to make it easier for you to read at your 4th grade level. And after 200+ articles- whether you have the mental capability to understand or not- I don’t think the phrase “troll” can be used with a straight face.
But getting back on point, if this is the author’s point- and it sounds like the same old song and dance about “if gays marry then next comes incest, then bestiality, the God knows what” argument phrased another way- then it was los on me. And explain how advocating gay marriage would necessarily be fighting for the rights of ALL consenting adults to marry? Please explain that convoluted (sorry the long word) piece of logic.
• thescotman
davenj1…you are not only an obvious intellectual (in your own mind), but we now know you’re a world class comedian, as well. You must keep those around you in stitches–assuming there are any who can bear your incessant droning.
And what a prolific writer!! 200+ articles? Imagine the 10-12 people who have benefitted from your wisdom…and imagine what the rest of us missed by moving on to interesting articles after one or two painful paragraphs.
You keep writing, davenj1. After all, what else is a bitter, unemployed fat guy in a dirty wife-bearer going to do between your porn?

since thescotman seems to comment only on RedPillReport “articles” and cartoons, perhaps they are one and the same…which would certainly define the word “pathetic.” If you cannot engage in informed dialogue and debate, then perhaps Redstate.com is not the site for you. Quite frankly, your line of attack is more becoming of the actions of a liberal. And how many people have benefitted by your cheerleading for RedPillReport? Put another way: move along, son. This site is for adults.

Your mere allegation casts a shadow on my credibility, which is unfair and undeserved. I don’t appreciate it. If I have something to say, I have no problem at all saying it as RedPillReport, which I have. It is great you took so much time doing your FBI analysis of writing styles, but you got it wrong.
You should be more responsible in the future and avoid tossing around baseless accusations. You need to consider the damage you might be doing to an earnest participant.

if there is no relation between the elements of progression in the argument.
You apparently miss the fact that (a) the same agitating tactics and arguments of the militant homosexual activists will be used by other groups, as indeed they are by pedophiles even now (B4UACT, anyone?), (b) the 1972 Gay Rights platform included the abolishment of all age of consent laws (Item #7 on their list of State-level ‘changes’) and (c) each instance of ‘tolerance’ of deviant acts pushes the boundary of what is accepted further back. That makes previously unthinkable acts seem not so far out of the ordinary. This continues until nothing is out of bounds. Q.V. Ancient Greece and Rome…
Today the law you propose sez a union between TWO, etc. etc. After some agitating, tomorrow it sez more than two. After that, between consenting relatives, as is legal in Sweden, even between half siblings. Eventually the full sibling perverts who want to marry agitate for that. and so on and so on. It’s called incrementalism..
• http://redpillreport.net/ RedPillReport
When has a special interest group ever stopped lobbying when their initial demands were met? Never. People will always want and demand more and more. And as avgjo pointed out, any changes to the law affecting one group will be cited by others to justify their positions. This is a slippery slope. Don’t kid yourself.

Nothing done in the name of liberalism can ever be taken for granted. They will ALWAYS want the next thing in the name of fairness.
• Martin Knight
Your “simple” solution has proven no barrier to same-sex marriage proponents, why should it prove any more effective for consenting adults who want to be able to marry their siblings, parents and children?
i.e. Many states have “simply” written their laws to state that only a union between two unrelated people of opposite sex will be recognized as a marriage. Has that stopped same-sex marriage proponents from taking those states to court (and having sympathetic judges invalidate those laws) on the basis that their rights are being violated?
So what’s to stop siblings Gregory (34) and Gretchen (31) from taking a state to court and claiming that their rights are being violated even after a state “simply” writes its laws to make marriage only valid between two unrelated people? After all, they are two consenting adults (the same basis on which same-sex marriage advocates argue for same-sex marriage), are they not?
Can you explain, to their face, why Greg and Gretchen being denied a marriage license is okay while you and your boyfriend (assuming you’re male and gay, of course) being denied the same is a violation of your civil rights?
• spoasteph97
The President advocates such ridiculous policies that he should just evolve ALL THE WAY!
Going further: Who is the president to ban humans from having sex with animals? What about human-tree marriage? What about human-blueberry plant marriage?
Do you see how ridiculous it becomes? People start out with the thought that civil unions should be legal. Then they say that same-sex “marriage” should be allowed. Next thing we know, people will be fighting to be allowed to “marry” their dogs or cats.
That is why marriage MUST remain between a man and a woman. NOT man-man, woman-woman, brother-brother, human-animal. These are NOT marriages!

this diary and waited a few days then said, okay…read it now. It isn’t that I didn’t think it would be worth a read, I guess the subject matter has become a real sore area for me. As an older American with solid Christian values and ethics it makes me sick to my stomach how that very small minority called the gay community managed to bring the US to what we are now.
Even churches walk on egg shells unwilling to say that marriage is only between a man and a woman. And if one more homosexual man says to me “I was born this way” think I might just explode verbally.
Homosexuality and the issue of two men or two women getting married is NOT of God. Period. Are we a nation that “if it feels good, do it!’ or are we a nation with some semblance of control over “the flesh.”
The gay marriage issue is a distraction in our political discourse that has only brought harm to American families. Think there will be some on the left who say your diary is a bit over the top….well, the “what ifs” need to be discussed. 20 years ago did we see this obinamtion coming? Oh wow, just realized obama is in that word. How appro.
So Red Pill, am glad I read your diary. It confirmed my own convictions and was something that needed to be said. Job well done!
• emptybucket
sorry, got carried away!
• merrie7137
The liberals would say you’re being ridiculous and that NOBODY is talking about incestuous marriage.
But that’s the number one play in their book. When a conservative tries to show where these liberal policies lead, the liberals deny it and accuse us of being “hateful.” Then, a few years down the road when it comes to pass, it does us no good to say “I told you so.”

What seems preposterous to us today will be a “civil right” 10 years from now. The left has been expert at ‘carefully’ leading America down the path to socialism and moral bankruptcy. Baby steps.
We need to be smarter than they are…and see these things coming–even if they want to call us ridiculous! | http://www.redstate.com/redpillreport/2012/07/16/my-four-dads-same-sex-marriage-gone-wild/ | dclm-gs1-010740002 | false | false | {

Originally, radio or radiotelegraphy was called "wireless telegraphy", which was shortened to "wireless". The prefix radio- in the sense of wireless transmission, was first recorded in the word radioconductor, coined by the French physicist Edouard Branly in 1897 and based on the verb to radiate (in Latin "radius" means "spoke of a wheel, beam of light, ray"). "Radio" as a noun is said to have been coined by advertising expert Waldo Warren (White 1944). The word appears in a 1907 article by Lee de Forest, was adopted by the United States Navy in 1912 and became common by the time of the first commercial broadcasts in the United States in the 1920s. (The noun "broadcasting" itself came from an agricultural term, meaning "scattering seeds".) The term was then adopted by other languages in Europe and Asia, although British Commonwealth countries continued to use the term "wireless" until the mid-20th century.
In recent years the term "wireless" has gained renewed popularity through the rapid growth of short-range computer networking, e.g., Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), WiFi and Bluetooth, as well as mobile telephony, e.g., GSM and UMTS. Today, the term "radio" often refers to the actual transceiver device or chip, whereas "wireless" refers to the system and/or method used for radio communication, hence one talks about radio transceivers and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), but about wireless devices and wireless sensor networks.
Each system contains a transmitter. This consists of a source of electrical energy, producing alternating current of a desired frequency of oscillation. The transmitter contains a system to modulate (change) some property of the energy produced to impress a signal on it. This modulation might be a simple as turning the energy on and off, or altering more subtle properties such as amplitude, frequency, phase, or combinations of these properties. The transmitter sends the modulated electrical energy to an antenna; this structure converts the rapidly-changing alternating current into an electromagentic wave that can move through free space.
Electromagnetic waves travel through space either directly, or have their path altered by reflection, refraction or diffraction. The intensity of the waves diminishes due to geometric dispersion (the inverse-square law); some energy may also be absorbed by the intervening medium in some cases. Noise will generally alter the desired signal; this electromagnetic interference comes from natural sources, as well as from artifical sources such as other transmitters and accidental radiators. Noise is also produced at every step due to the inherent properties of the devices used. If the magnitude of the noise is large enough, the desired signal will no longer be discernable; this is the fundamental limit to the range of radio communications.
The meaning and usage of the word "radio" has developed in parallel with developments within the field and can be seen to have three distinct phases: electromagnetic waves and experimentation; wireless communication and technical development; and radio broadcasting and commercialization. Many individuals -- inventors, engineers, developers, businessmen -- contributed to produce the modern idea of radio and thus the origins and 'invention' are multiple and controversial.
The first radio couldn't transmit sound or speech and was called the "wireless telegraph." The first public demonstration of wireless telegraphy took place in the lecture theater of the Oxford University Museum of Natural History on August 14, 1894, carried out by Professor Oliver Lodge and Alexander Muirhead. During the demonstration a radio signal was sent from the neighboring Clarendon laboratory building, and received by apparatus in the lecture theater.
In 1896, Marconi was awarded the British patent 12039, Improvements in transmitting electrical impulses and signals and in apparatus there-for, for radio. In 1897 he established the world's first radio station on the Isle of Wight, England. Marconi opened the world's first "wireless" factory in Hall Street, Chelmsford, England in 1898, employing around 50 people.
The next great invention was the vacuum tube detector, invented by Westinghouse engineers. On Christmas Eve, 1906, Reginald Fessenden used a synchronous rotary-spark transmitter for the first radio program broadcast, from Ocean Bluff-Brant Rock, Massachusetts. Ships at sea heard a broadcast that included Fessenden playing O Holy Night on the violin and reading a passage from the Bible. The first radio news program was broadcast August 31, 1920 by station 8MK in Detroit, Michigan. The first college radio station began broadcasting on October 14, 1920, from Union College, Schenectady, New York under the personal call letters of Wendell King, an African-American student at the school. That month 2ADD, later renamed WRUC in 1940, aired what is believed to be the first public entertainment broadcast in the United States, a series of Thursday night concerts initially heard within a radius and later for a radius. In November 1920, it aired the first broadcast of a sporting event. At 9 pm on August 27, 1920, Sociedad Radio Argentina aired a live performance of Richard Wagner's Parsifal opera from the Coliseo Theater in downtown Buenos Aires, only about twenty homes in the city had a receiver to tune in. Meanwhile, regular entertainment broadcasts commenced in 1922 from the Marconi Research Centre at Writtle, England.
One of the first developments in the early 20th century (1900-1959) was that aircraft used commercial AM radio stations for navigation. This continued until the early 1960s when VOR systems finally became widespread (though AM stations are still marked on U.S. aviation charts). In the early 1930s, single sideband and frequency modulation were invented by amateur radio operators. By the end of the decade, they were established commercial modes. Radio was used to transmit pictures visible as television as early as the 1920s. Commercial television transmissions started in North America and Europe in the 1940s. In 1954, Regency introduced a pocket transistor radio, the TR-1, powered by a "standard 22.5 V Battery".
In 1960, Sony introduced its first transistorized radio, small enough to fit in a vest pocket, and able to be powered by a small battery. It was durable, because there were no tubes to burn out. Over the next 20 years, transistors replaced tubes almost completely except for very high-power uses. By 1963 color television was being regularly transmitted commercially, and the first (radio) communication satellite, TELSTAR, was launched. In the late 1960s, the U.S. long-distance telephone network began to convert to a digital network, employing digital radios for many of its links. In the 1970s, LORAN became the premier radio navigation system. Soon, the U.S. Navy experimented with satellite navigation, culminating in the invention and launch of the GPS constellation in 1987. In the early 1990s, amateur radio experimenters began to use personal computers with audio cards to process radio signals. In 1994, the U.S. Army and DARPA launched an aggressive, successful project to construct a software defined radio that can be programmed to be virtually any radio by changing its software program. Digital transmissions began to be applied to broadcasting in the late 1990s.
Uses of radio
AM broadcast radio sends music and voice in the Medium Frequency (MF—0.300 MHz to 3 MHz) radio spectrum. AM radio uses amplitude modulation, in which the amplitude of the transmitted signal is made proportional to the sound amplitude captured (transduced) by the microphone while the transmitted frequency remains unchanged. Transmissions are affected by static and interference because lightning and other sources of radio that are transmitting at the same frequency add their amplitudes to the original transmitted amplitude. The most wattage an AM radio station in the United States and Canada is allowed to use is 50,000 watts and the majority of stations that emit signals this powerful were grandfathered in; these include WGN (AM), WJR, KGA and CKLW. In 1986 KTNN received the last granted 50,000 watt license.
FM broadcast radio sends music and voice with higher fidelity than AM radio. In frequency modulation, amplitude variation at the microphone causes the transmitter frequency to fluctuate. Because the audio signal modulates the frequency and not the amplitude, an FM signal is not subject to static and interference in the same way as AM signals. Due to its need for a wider bandwidth, FM is transmitted in the Very High Frequency (VHF—30 MHz to 300 MHz) radio spectrum. VHF radio waves act more like light, traveling in straight lines, hence the reception range is generally limited to about 50-100 miles. During unusual upper atmospheric conditions, FM signals are occasionally reflected back towards the Earth by the ionosphere, resulting in Long distance FM reception. FM receivers are subject to the capture effect, which causes the radio to only receive the strongest signal when multiple signals appear on the same frequency. FM receivers are relatively immune to lightning and spark interference.
Civil and military HF (high frequency) voice services use shortwave radio to contact ships at sea, aircraft and isolated settlements. Most use single sideband voice (SSB), which uses less bandwidth than AM. On an AM radio SSB sounds like ducks quacking. Viewed as a graph of frequency versus power, an AM signal shows power where the frequencies of the voice add and subtract with the main radio frequency. SSB cuts the bandwidth in half by suppressing the carrier and (usually) lower sideband. This also makes the transmitter about three times more powerful, because it doesn't need to transmit the unused carrier and sideband.
Satellite phones use satellites rather than cell towers to communicate. They come in two types: INMARSAT and Iridium. Both types provide world-wide coverage. INMARSAT uses geosynchronous satellites, with aimed high-gain antennas on the vehicles. Iridium uses 66 Low Earth Orbit satellites as the cells.
Television sends the picture as AM and the sound as FM, with the sound carrier a fixed frequency (4.5 MHz in the NTSC system) away from the video carrier. Analog television also uses a vestigial sideband on the video carrier to reduce the bandwidth required.
Search radars scan a wide area with pulses of short radio waves. They usually scan the area two to four times a minute. Sometimes search radars use the Doppler Effect to separate moving vehicles from clutter. Targeting radars use the same principle as search radar but scan a much smaller area far more often, usually several times a second or more. Weather radars resemble search radars, but use radio waves with circular polarization and a wavelength to reflect from water droplets. Some weather radar use the Doppler Effect to measure wind speeds.
Data (digital radio)
A variety of jamming-resistant spread spectrum techniques were initially developed for military use, most famously for Global Positioning System satellite transmissions. Commercial use of spread spectrum begin in the 1980s.
Amateur radio service
Amateur radio (nicknamed Ham radio) is a hobby in which enthusiasts are licensed to transmit radio signals for their own enjoyment. They may also provide an emergency and public-service radio service. This has been very beneficial in emergencies, saving lives in many instances. Radio amateurs are licensed to use frequencies in a wide range of narrow bands throughout the radio spectrum. They use all forms of encoding, including nostalgic and experimental ones. Several forms of radio were pioneered by radio amateurs and later became commercially important including FM, single-sideband (SSB), AM, digital packet radio and satellite repeaters. Some amateur frequencies may be disrupted by power-line internet service.
Unlicensed radio services
Government-authorized personal radio services such as Citizens' Band Radio, Family Radio Service, Multi-Use Radio Service and others exist in North America to provide simple, (usually) short range communication for individuals and small groups, without the overhead of licensing. Similar services exist in other parts of the world. These radio services involve the use of handheld units.
Unauthorized, unlicensed radio broadcasting is known as Free or pirate radio. The main difference between the two is that a Free radio station does not advertise or make any money, while the Pirate station could not exist without adverts, payolas, etc.
Radio control (RC)
The electromagnetic spectrum
Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic radiation that are created when a charged object, such as an electron, accelerates with a frequency that lies in the radio frequency (RF) portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. In radio, this acceleration is caused by an alternating current in an antenna. Radio frequencies occupy the range from a few tens of hertz to three hundred gigahertz, although commercially important uses of radio use only a small part of this spectrum. Other types of electromagnetic radiation, with frequencies above the RF range, are microwave, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays. Since the energy of an individual photon of radio frequency is too low to remove an electron from an atom, radio waves are classified as non-ionizing radiation.
Energy autarkic radio technology consists of a small radio transmitter powered by environmental energy (push of a button, temperature differences, light, vibrations, etc.). A number of schemes have been proposed for Wireless energy transfer. Various plans included transmitting power using microwaves, and the technique has been demonstrated. (See Microwave power transmission). These schemes include, for example, solar power stations in orbit beaming energy down to terrestrial users.

Storehouses for Solar Energy Can Step In When the Sun Goes Down
Published at: Jan 2, 2012
source: New York Times
published by
If solar energy is eventually going to matter— that is, generate a significant portion of the nation’s electricity — the industry must overcome a major stumbling block, experts say: finding a way to store it for use when the sun isn’t shining.
That challenge seems to be creating an opening for a different form of power, solar thermal, which makes electricity by using the sun’s heat to boil water. The water can be used to heat salt that stores the energy until later, when the sun dips and households power up their appliances and air-conditioning at peak demand hours in the summer.
Two California companies are planning to deploy the storage technology: SolarReserve, which is building a plant in the Nevada desert scheduled to start up next year, and BrightSource, which plans three plants in California that would begin operating in 2016 and 2017. Together, the four projects will be capable of powering tens of thousand of households throughout a summer evening.
Whether the technology will be widely adopted remains to be seen, but companies like Google, Chevron and Good Energies are investing in it, and the utilities NV Energy and Southern California Edison have signed long-term contracts to buy power from these radically different new power plants.
One crucial role of the plants will be complementing solar panels, which produce electricity directly from sunlight. When the panels ramp down at dusk or on cloudy days, the plants will crank up, drawing on the stored thermal energy.
That job will become more important if photovoltaic panels, which have plunged in price lately, become even cheaper and sprout on millions of rooftops. As the grid starts depending more heavily on solar panels or wind turbines, it will need other energy sources that can step in quickly to balance the system — preferably ones classified as renewable.
Most utilities are trying to generate as many kilowatt-hours of renewable energy as they can to meet stiffer state requirements on incorporating more alternative energy, said Kevin B. Smith, the chief executive of SolarReserve.
“As we move forward, we’ll get more and more traction with the fact we can provide more capacity,” Mr. Smith said, referring to his company’s storage technology.
The Energy Department seems to agree: in September it gave SolarReserve a $737 million loan guarantee for its project in Nevada. The plant will generate 110 megawatts at peak and store enough heat to run for eight to 10 hours when the sun is not shining.
The public’s view on loan guarantees for solar projects has soured somewhat since the bankruptcy of Solyndra, a California company that received a $535 million loan guarantee to build a factory to make solar panels — only to see the market for the modules crash.
But the outlook has always been clearer for companies that make electricity, which, unlike solar modules, is generally presold by contract.
Technical details of the SolarReserve and BrightSource plants vary slightly, but both will use thousands of computer-operated poster-size mirrors aiming sunlight at a tower that absorbs it as heat.
SolarReserve absorbs the heat in molten salt, which can be used immediately to boil water, generating steam that turns a conventional turbine and generator. Hot salt can also be used to retain the heat for many hours for later use. BrightSource heats water that can be used immediately as steam or to heat salt for storage.
The plants rely on salt because it can store far more heat than water can. But once molten, it must be kept that way or it will freeze to a solid in part of the plant where it will be difficult to melt again. “You’ve made a commitment to those salt molecules,” said John Woolard, the chief executive of BrightSource.
The technology is not complicated, but the economics are.
The simplest, least expensive path for solar thermal is to turn the heat into electricity immediately. But the companies are a bit like the farmer who harvests the grain and stores it in a silo rather than shipping it straight to market on the expectation that prices will be higher later. They are betting that in revenue terms, the hour at which the energy is delivered will be more important than the amount generated.
The notion is that widespread adoption of solar panels — whether on rooftops or in giant arrays in the desert — will change the hours at which prices are highest.
Today, electricity prices usually peak in the late afternoon and evening on hot summer days. “Photovoltaic panels will do a pretty good job of chopping that peak” in the late afternoon, said Paul Denholm, a solar specialist at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Boulder, Colo.
In other words, the new price peak will be pushed to later in the day, to just before and after sunset, when solar photovoltaic production is small or nonexistent, he and other experts say.

Office of New Drugs, Division of Antiviral Products, US Food and Drug Administration, Silver Spring, Maryland 20993, USA.
Current opinion in HIV and AIDS (Impact Factor: 4.75). 06/2008; 3(3):325-9. DOI:10.1097/COH.0b013e3282f5f509

ABSTRACT To provide a regulatory perspective on the role of drug interaction information in the development of antiretroviral drugs. Additionally, this review highlights novel studies that provided important information for the safe and effective use of antiretroviral medications. The management of drug interactions in HIV therapy becomes more complex with the introduction of each new drug because many antiretroviral drugs are involved in multiple metabolic and transporter-based interactions. Therefore, a comprehensive preclinical evaluation to characterize a new drug's metabolic pathway(s) followed by in-vivo studies is critical for the safe use of combination antiretroviral therapy.
This review highlights published studies to illustrate several clinical and regulatory issues for in-vivo drug interaction studies such as general design issues, study-population selection, study-design options, use of historical controls and interpretation of results.
Early identification of potential drug interactions can help identify and prioritize clinically important interaction studies essential to the overall development process. Understanding the clinical implications and management of drug interactions can lead to more effective long-term therapy, reduce toxicity, and delay the development of resistance.

School of Business Administration at Widener University, One University Place, Chester, Pennsylvania 19013, USA.
The American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse (Impact Factor: 1.55). 02/2006; 32(4):519-25. DOI:10.1080/10623320600919144

ABSTRACT College binge drinking is examined from the perspectives of two cultures. The traditional culture views binging as deviant; the second culture promotes it. In this context, logit regression is used to explore the effects of various factors, including student employment and parental education. Employed students are less likely to binge than are students who are not employed. Also, students whose mother is a college graduate, but whose father is not, are more likely to binge than other students. The prescriptions for reducing binge drinking are different when the behavior is perceived as mainstream rather than deviant. The research calls for the development of a process for promoting cultural change in an environment of continually changing student leadership.

ABSTRACT: To examine the extent of binge drinking by college students and the ensuing health and behavioral problems that binge drinkers create for themselves and others on their campus. Self-administered survey mailed to a national representative sample of US 4-year college students. One hundred forty US 4-year colleges in 1993. A total of 17,592 college students. Self-reports of drinking behavior, alcohol-related health problems, and other problems. Almost half (44%) of college students responding to the survey were binge drinkers, including almost one fifth (19%) of the students who were frequent binge drinkers. Frequent binge drinkers are more likely to experience serious health and other consequences of their drinking behavior than other students. Almost half (47%) of the frequent binge drinkers experienced five or more different drinking-related problems, including injuries and engaging in unplanned sex, since the beginning of the school year. Most binge drinkers do not consider themselves to be problem drinkers and have not sought treatment for an alcohol problem. Binge drinkers create problems for classmates who are not binge drinkers. Students who are not binge drinkers at schools with higher binge rates were more likely than students at schools with lower binge rates to experience problems such as being pushed, hit, or assaulted or experiencing an unwanted sexual advance. Binge drinking is widespread on college campuses. Programs aimed at reducing this problem should focus on frequent binge drinkers, refer them to treatment or educational programs, and emphasize the harm they cause for students who are not binge drinkers.

ABSTRACT: In 1999, the Harvard School of Public Health College Alcohol Study resurveyed colleges that participated in the 1993 and 1997 surveys. Responses to mail questionnaires from more than 14,000 students at 119 nationally representative 4-year colleges in 39 states were compared with responses received in 1997 and 1993. Two of 5 students (44%) were binge drinkers in 1999, the same rate as in 1993. However, both abstention and frequent binge-drinking rates increased significantly. In 1999, 19% were abstainers, and 23% were frequent binge drinkers. As before, binge drinkers, and particularly frequent binge drinkers, were more likely than other students to experience alcohol-related problems. At colleges with high binge-drinking rates, students who did not binge drink continued to be at higher risk of encountering the second-hand effects of others' heavy drinking. The continuing high level of binge drinking is discussed in the context of the heightened attention and increased actions at colleges. Although it may take more time for interventions to take effect, the actions college health providers have undertaken thus far may not be a sufficient response.

Tokyo Sun May 22, 2011 5:08am EDT
Japan's Prime Minister Naoto Kan (C), South Korea's President Lee Myung-bak (R) and China's Premier Wen Jiabao attend the 3rd Japan-China-Korea Business Summit Luncheon with Heads of State/Government in Tokyo May 22, 2011. REUTERS/Toru Hanai

Tokyo's worry is that, even though food makes up just 1 percent of Japan's exports, radiation concerns could affect other goods just when the export-reliant economy plunged back into recession.
Japan has also feared that governments could go beyond what was necessary in their curbs in order to calm nervous publics, but its plea for more "reasonable" restrictions was initially rebuffed by Chinese and South Korean trade ministers last month.
There were signs of progress at the summit, with China's Premier Wen Jiabao saying Beijing was willing to import more food from Japan if safety standards were met and South Korea promising to base its safety steps on "scientific evidence."
According to Japanese foreign ministry officials in its first step Beijing would remove two Japanese prefectures in an area near the crippled nuclear plant from a list of 12 covered by an import ban due to radiation concerns.
The officials said China would also no longer require proof of radiation checks for food with the exception of milk products, vegetables and seafood.
In a symbolic gesture ahead of the summit, Wen and South Korea's President Lee Myung-bak met Kan in Fukushima city, about 60 km (37 miles) northwest of the stricken power plant at the center of the worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl.
Wen and Lee, the first foreign leaders to visit Fukushima since the nuclear disaster, sampled locally-grown vegetables and fruit there and back in Tokyo were treated to a range of specialties from the disaster-struck area at an official dinner.
"The fact that they did this was the best way of showing the world that the food in Japan is safe. It was a big help," Kan told a post-summit news conference.
The show of goodwill contrasts with the initial stages of the crisis, when Seoul was frustrated by the handling of the nuclear disaster by Tokyo, which later acknowledged delays and inadequate communication in its early response to the crisis.
"Japan is committed to sharing with China, Republic of Korea and the international community at large, the lessons learned from the nuclear accident and the earthquake," the summit's statement said.
Last month, South Korea's prime minister accused Japan of "incompetence" and other officials complained it had informed Washington of a plan to release radioactive water from the Fukushima complex into the Pacific but did not tell Seoul.
Japan and its neighbors have a long history of feuds, suspicion and strained relations. Tensions over nuclear safety brought to light mistrust that was evident last September when a Chinese fishing trawler collided with Japanese patrol vessels near disputed islands close to potentially vast oil and gas reserves.
This weekend's meeting has been billed as a chance to improve their ties in the aftermath of the disaster, which wiped out whole coastal communities and left 25,000 dead or missing.
Commentators had been skeptical about whether the outpouring of sympathy could be sufficient to overcome centuries of troubled past.
The three leaders sought to prove them wrong by signing off on a list of areas where they pledged closer cooperation, from security on the Korean Peninsula, to disaster relief and prevention and pledges to consider launching talks on a free-trade pact, possibly as early as next year.

Title: Hydrogen Separation from a Logistic-Fuel Reformate Stream
Agency / Branch: DOD / NAVY
Contract: N00014-07-C-0242
Award Amount: $499,303.00
Proposed is a reactor capable of generating a pure hydrogen stream from a gasified stream of military logistic fuels such as JP-5 and JP-8. The objective is to build a reactor that generates a hydrogen stream with a heating value of 5-10 kW. The process is based on a novel type of ceramic membrane that allows only the passage of oxygen ions and electrons. Steam is passed on one side of the membrane and a gasified fuel on the other. On the membrane surface steam is reduced to hydrogen while the oxygen passes as an ion through the membrane. The ion oxidizes the fuel on the other side of the membrane, while the electron associated with the ion flows back to the steam side of the membrane. The process is driven by the difference in chemical potential between fuel and steam. Effectively an energy transfer is established which oxidizes the fuel as the steam is reduced to produce hydrogen. Since the membrane is impermeable for gases (the oxygen ion is a solid) very high purity hydrogen is generated. It is intended to demonstrate a system containing a liquid fuel gasifier coupled to a hydrogen reactor, while addressing the most crucial heat integration aspects.

In Haiti or Chile, pre-moral or morally induced, any suffering of what has a paradigm's contradiction la contradicción is always remembered. A part of the living world is an inquiry for what is, as the measure of human. "By these hands," an adieu, see you later. A word is given this way. It recognizes an erasure, death as gift, a gift to life. Jacques Derrida describes the intelligence of Christianity in structuring signs of transition and rituals between life and death. In remembering the Haitian earthquake, sanctions the coherence of beliefs, and reverential keys to interacting universes. One might entreat a sign, the authority of a modest code, the mache chache, this symbol of a never ending inscription in the circle of life. And all bones in one's body rejoice.

Jane Harrison was last seen shopping with her lover (Met Police/PA)
Kevin Doherty, of South Woodford, east London, who denies murder, even made two sham calls to himself claiming they were from Jane Harrison, 32.
He told police he thought she had gone off with another man, jurors were told. She was last seen shopping with him for a holiday they were due to take two days later in June 1995, but the prosecution said he killed her, took her body to a lock-up garage and reported her missing the next day.
The body of the mother of two boys has never been found and the evidence against Doherty, 57, was only circumstantial, said Jonathan Rees QC, prosecuting.
Mr Rees said a few hours after she disappeared, Doherty used his mobile to secretly ring Miss Harrison's flat in Highbury, north London. He picked up the phone and was heard to say: "Where are you now?" The babysitters said Doherty looked "sweaty and panicky" and claimed it was Miss Harrison on the phone, saying she would be home later.
Mr Rees added: "This purported phone call was nothing more than a continuation of the charade the defendant had embarked upon. This call was not made by Jane Harrison. The call came from his mobile. He was pretending to speak to Jane."
Shortly afterwards, the phone rang again when Miss Harrison's teenage son Ryan returned home and asked where his mother was. He heard Doherty say: "Don't worry, come home." Mr Rees said: "This was the second sham telephone the defendant made to the flat using his mobile phone, pretending to be Jane Harrison. Essentially, he was trying to manufacture an alibi."
Doherty was questioned about her abduction in 1995 but was arrested last year after a murder inquiry was launched. He told officers they had an on-off relationship during the three years they were together, with him sometimes living with his wife.
Mr Rees added: "He said he did not kill Jane Harrison and they had not argued. He said he was not a jealous person even though they had split up on a number of occasions. He said he kept going back and was besotted with her. It was a sexual thing and he was not in love with her."
The trial continues.

Blake Cantrell, a Maryland aristocrat and well-bred cad, uses the occasion of his hunt to announce his impending bankruptcy. In order to pay his debts, Blake is forced to sell his slaves, thus incurring the disapproval of his house guest, Northerner Susan Griffith. Later, when Blake tries to seduce Susan, she denounces him and leaves for the Cumberland Gap with her Aunt Amanda, who owns the Bullet Stage Line there. In Cumberland, Susan meets Captain Starkey, an old friend of Amanda and manager of the Bullet Line. To keep the line solvent, Starkey has been renting stages to Arnold, who claims to be transporting fugitive slaves to freedom. Soon afterwards, Blake arrives in Cumberland to ask Colonel Webb, the construction head of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and an old friend of his father, for a job. Webb, who is in competition with the Bullet Line, offers Blake a job spying on Starkey, but Blake refuses. Later that night, Blake meets Starkey in a drunken brawl and Starkey, short-handed since his men have quit in order to work on the railroad, frames Blake, has him thrown in jail and then arranges for him to work off his fine on the stage line. Hard, honest work makes Blake a new man, and he and Susan are about to begin a romance when Blake sees his old slave Enoch gunned down while trying to escape from Arnold's clutches. Realizing that Starkey is involved in slave running, Blake quits the line and accepts Webb's offer. Hoping to expose Morgan, the brains behind the slave racket, Blake pretends to be a highwayman and infiltrates the gang. When a routine shipment turns into a slave massacre, Blake rides off to file charges against the stage line and Arnold, who is really Morgan. Because he is missing a crucial piece of incriminating evidence, Blake rides back to the scene of the massacre, where he comes into conflict with Arnold and Starkey, who has escaped from jail. In the ensuing shootout, Arnold dies, and Blake and Starkey survive to brave a life threatening snowstorm. During the storm, the two men come to understand each other, and when they are finally rescued, Blake conceals the incriminating evidence. After Susan sells the stage line to Starkey, she joins Blake as he goes West to open up the territory to the railroad. | http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/3409/Stand-Up-and-Fight/full-synopsis.html | dclm-gs1-011020002 | false | false | {

You can't gripe about ageism in the workplace and then demand a discount for being old. Discounts based on age are discriminatory against younger people. Younger people should refuse to shop in any store that offers such discriminatory policies. If stores want to increase sales on a particular day, than offer the discount to all customers. Simple as that.

No, DoGooder, you did not stay on the subject. Murphy has been in office one year, has taken NO money from Big Sugar, and you're calling him out, instead of Senator Rubio, who voted against the Clean Rivers Act, who has voted TWICE for BiG Pharma to continue making Medicare pay full price for drugs. Check his website: he's all worried about oysters in North FL, and complaining about his mom's Medicare Advantage Plan. Which all taxpayers help pay for, like they did for Rubio's dad medical care. Republicans in 2003 let private insurance companies take advantage of taxpayers. Obama made private insurance companies pay 80 cents of every taxpayer $ on actual medical care, not "administration", exec. salaries, etc. Martin Co. women have the highest % of methylmercury in their blood than any other place in our nation. If Senator Rubio is really concerned about healthcare, why isn't he addressing our pollution problems?

We spoke with a pair of analysts to get their read on T-Mobile's nationwide 4G LTE roll out, free unlimited international data and text offer, new flat global calling rate and $10/month fee for calls outside the US. The consensus between the two was the nation's No. 4 carrier is firing on just about every cylinder.
"I was quite impressed with the news that T-Mobile is now reaching more than 200 million subscribers with 4G LTE in basically less than nine months," said Roger Entner, founder and analyst at Recon Analystics, in an interview.
"That's attacking both AT&T and especially Verizon on network superiority. T-Mobile is taking a knock at the sweet spot of the two big carriers, which is better service."
Watch out
In press materials, T-Mobile claimed to best AT&T in 4G LTE coverage in 10 of the top 20 metropolitan statistical areas as well as beating out Sprint and Verizon network speeds.
Weston Henderek, principle analyst for wireless service at Current Analysis, said that while T-Mobile is still a small fish in the 4G pond, it's put at least one competitor against the wall.
"AT&T and Verizon still have way more LTE than T-Mobile," he said. "Verizon is almost fully deployed and have had a big lead for a long time. T-Mobile is really playing the catch-up game.
"The average customer already understands that AT&T and Verizon have more, but that advantage is dissipating. When you talk about 300 markets compared to 233, some of that advantage is just naturally going to disappear.
"The one here that I think is going to have to step up their game is Sprint. They rolled out LTE before T-Mobile, and now they're lagging. This might spur them on to increase their roll out speeds."
Roamin', roamin', roamin'
As for its new international usage policies, which apply to more than 100 "Simple Global" countries and, both analysts affirmed that this push is principally about grabbing business customers.
"T-Mobile didn't really have a lot to lose here," said Henderek. "They don't have a lot of business customers, and the majority of international roaming is done by business customers. The bulk are at AT&T and Verizon, but the risk reward isn't there for those two because they risk losing that revenue stream. T-Mobile isn't really losing anything.
"Overall this should really help out on the business side because it's such a big difference in how business works from AT&T and Verizon. T-Mobile could end up poaching customers from them because it allows businesses to control cost and there's no fear of going over."
T-Mobile does expect to operate its new data and text plans and $0.20/minute flat calling rate at a loss, at least to start, but the hope is to make up some revenue in boost packages - $15 for one day and 100MB, $25 for one week and 200MB and $50 for two weeks and 500MB.
And do the other carriers have Shakira?
Henderek explained that even if non-business customers end up spending the same amount as they would on another carrier's international plan by buying boost packages, the perception is they are saving money and don't have to worry about overage charges. Once that $25 data is gone, it's gone.
Both he and Entner said the other carriers are going to have to respond to T-Mo's new international policies.
"They have to respond somehow ... better network, more marketing, responding price plans ... and in the end the customer wins in this competitive market," Entner said.
According to Entner, about one third of what businesses pay for wireless usage is overseas use, "so the savings with T-Mobile can be quite substantial."
What's more, the analyst said the offer targets immigrants who might leave the country regularly and more affluent customers who take trips abroad more frequently. While users who don't fall in these camps may not flock to T-Mobile's new offers, there is still plenty of growth potential with these other groups.
It's not all roses
Not everything about T-Mobile's new offers are perfectly peachy. International data speeds will top out at about 128 kilobits a second, meaning viewing an email with a large attachment or visiting a graphics-heavy site will be a challenge.
Henderek speculated T-Mobile struck deals with international roaming partners to use low-speed data at a cheaper rate. This, he said, creates a win for partners because the data wasn't being used by travelers who may have preferred turning off their phones to incurring enormous roaming fees.
Throw in the data speed boost packages and international partners are seeing yet more new revenue.
Henderek did call out T-Mobile's new Stateside International Talk & Text plan, which for $10 a month has the same $0.20/minute call rate (including mobile-to-mobile) to qualifying countries plus unlimited texting and unlimited landline calls in more than 70 countries for no extra charge.
"Looking at the US market, there are all sorts of VoIP service providers - Skype, Viber, etc. - that offer cheap and free long distance calls," he said.
"The package looks really good when compared to other carrier packages, and you can call someone with a regular phone service and not have to worry about that person having the same app as you. There is definitely a convenience factor, but the international long distance side of things is not really a big a deal as it would have been a few years ago."

Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer
ot. It's Christmas, Derek." McDreamy says he knows, and he's fine, and he'll see her at home, and he's totally lying. Addison is, once again, left there standing by herself, wondering why she even tries.
McDreamy tells Tim he's going to need another surgery. He says the frontal lobe is difficult, and he should be prepared for the possibility that things could get worse. Tim growls, "Great. That's just great. I'm so glad we came to this hospital so I could be treated by a bunch of QUACKS who don't know their ASSES from the inside of my SKULL!" Tim's wife starts to cry, and follows McDreamy out of the room. She tells him this is not her husband; he doesn't speak to anyone this way. McDreamy says he knows it's difficult, but the important thing right now is that they stop the bleeding. Tim's wife says he's the love of her life, and she knows he has a lot of other patients, but...and here she starts really breaking down. "I need your word that you'll treat this change in my husband's personality as seriously as you would a fatal cancer, because that's the way this feels to me and my kids. We were happy. We were a happy family!" You were a crazy family, Tim's wife, but I do feel a little sorry for you. McDreamy says he's going to do everything he can.
Cristina eavesdrops on Father Mike telling Justin he doesn't have to feel guilty that he got another person's heart. "God wants you to live. That's why he sent you the heart." Justin says he's not stupid, okay? God didn't send him the heart, and there's no such thing as God, and he knows his first heart didn't come from anywhere magical. "My mom told me the heart came from Santa. I thought elves made it in their factory, or whatever. But that's not true, is it?" Father Mike says no, it isn't. Justin says he knows that, because where it really came from is some other kid who had to die so he could live. He also knows that his mom has been praying for the last two years, since the heart started to fail, for some other kid to die so he could live. Oh, tears! Mom starts to cry, but Justin isn't done. "I know that kid died so I could live. That's what you prayed for all the time, isn't it, Mom?" Mom hangs her head and weeps. Justin starts to fade, but hangs on long enough to say, "That's what she prays for, Father. How does God feel about that?" He crashes. Cristina rushes in and tries to revive him as Mom freaks out and begs her son to wake up. Cristina yells for someone to shut her up; she charges the defibrillator, which I think I might also need right about now, and Justin's heart starts beating again. Commercials.
We return to Cristina asking Burke if they can get Justin back on the donor list, because this heart is obviously bad. Burke says Justin waited two years for this one, and he has to fight for it. Cristina keeps arguing, and asks if there's anything they can do for him, medically speaking. Burke: "The way you're feeling right now? Is why I have to believe in something bigger than me. Because if I didn't, that powerlessness would eat me alive." Cristina sighs, AGAIN, and walks off.
McDreamy's in his second surgery with Tim, and is all of a sudden in much better spirits. He requests Christmas carols, or Hanukkah carols, whichever, and a cute song starts up. We cut to Bailey in surgery, getting fed sips of a drink as she works. She suddenly says, "Oh, do NOT kick me," steps back from the table, and addresses her belly: "You cannot kick me while I'm doing my job. Thank you." Aw! Bailey's gonna have a little baby, yes she is!
Izzie finds Alex sleeping on his study gurney. She slaps him across the head and barks, "Wake up! God, no wonder you failed your boards." Alex wants to know what she's doing there. Izzie: "I'm a farmer, okay, I'm drooling, puking, and crapping my pants." Alex can't believe she's helping him study. Izzie snots that she's not actually crapping her pants, now, is she? One wonders. Alex: "Why would you want to help me after what I did?" Izzie: "Because! It's what JESUS! Would friggin' DO!" Heeeeee.
Justin's room. Cristina sits by his bed and talks to him as he sleeps. She says she doesn't believe in Santa, either, or God. Justin wakes up at this, and listens. "I believe in medicine. And it's a medical miracle you're alive." She tells him he should have died at birth, except some surgeon figured out a way to give him a new heart, which is so much cooler than Santa. "So I'm just saying...I think you should decide to live. Live so you can become a doctor, and you can find a way to do heart transplants without someone having to die. Or, live so you can grow up and have kids and...raise them not to believe in Santa. That would piss your mom off. Just decide to live. Because in your case? Dying really isn't the best revenge." Oh, no, it can't be. You know, in Who-ville they say...that the Grinch's heart grew three sizes that day! Look at our Crissy, carving the roast beast!
Bailey and George walk wearily out of Nadia's surgery. They find her stupid family in the waiting room. Bailey says Nadia lost a lot of blood, and will require several days observation, but should have a full recovery. Nadia's mother starts screaming that they should sue for all the abuse they've suffered at the hands of the hospital. "We've sat here and sat here and sat here and sat here and sat here…" Seriously, she says it that many times. I counted. Bailey tells George under her breath that this is his chance, and not to screw it up. When Mom is finished ranting about suing them, George says, "Yeah, you could sue us. Or, you could consider the possibility of shutting the hell up." They're all, "What? Did you hear what he said? Why, I never! We want to see her now!" And so forth. George: "I am her doctor; she is my patient, and this is a HOSPITAL. The kind of place where people can generally use a little peace and quiet, so no, you can't see her. And I'm not saying this because you just threatened to sue Dr. Bailey, who's spent the last several hours saving your daughter's life, I am saying this because she is my patient, and she is in the recovery room, trying to recover, and visiting hours are OVER! So good night. And Merry Christmas." So brilliant. Our little Georgie, he did good, didn't he? Bailey looks at the stunned family, who've finally shut up, and fake-sorries, "Interns. So emotional. Apologies."
Alex asks Izzie the Farmer if the nausea is constant or intermittent. Izzie says it's constant. Alex asks when it started. Izzie starts tearing up, and whispers, "After I've worked in the fields all day." Alex tries to ignore the tears, and asks if Farmer Izzie has any allergies. Izzie can barely speak, and squeaks, "No." Aw, Izzie. Alex sits down next to her, and says he never wanted to hurt her. Izzie, through her tears: "You didn't hurt me. I don't know you, I'm a farmer." Wah! Alex asks if she's still a patient. Izzie's all, "What does it look like?" Alex realizes it's organophosphates. "Pesticide poisoning. Crying's a symptom. That's it, right?" Izzie nods, still weeping. Aw, man! That was perfect, just perfect, Farmer Izzie.
McDreamy catches Mere leaving the hospital as another pretty Christmas song starts up. He asks her if she's okay, and she returns the sentiment he had at the beginning of the episode: "You know, just the holidays." McDreamy says he does know, and they wish each other a Merry Christmas.
Cut to McDreamy walking into Joe's bar. He gets a drink, which awesome Joe has already poured for him (single-malt Scotch, for those of you playing at home), and goes to sit next to a radiant-looking Addison. Too bad she's about to get her heart broken. She asks after Tim, and McDreamy says he woke up smiling. Oh, good, they can get back to the crazy posthaste. Addison says she's drinking hot buttered rum, because of Christmas, which they both used to love, hint hint. McDreamy finally drops the bomb we all knew was coming: "Christmas makes you want to be with people you love. I'm not saying this to hurt you, or because I want to leave you, because I don't. Meredith wasn't a fling. She wasn't revenge. I fell in love with her. That doesn't go away because I decided to stay with you." He takes a big sip of his drink, and Addison, poor Addison, who I love to hate and hate to love, tries to take it all in. We pull back to an outside view of the doomed couple, and Mere voice-overs, "There's an old proverb that says you can't choose your family. You take what the fates hand you."
Cristina comes home to Burke's, exhausted from living with her newly-huge heart, and sees that Burke has placed a menorah in the window. She smiles, immediately undresses, and jumps into bed with him. MereVO: "And like them or not, love them or not, understand them or not..." Cristina tells Burke that Justin took a turn: his fever's down and his BP's up. She snuggles against him as Burke says, "I wonder what got through to him." Aw. MereVO: "...You cope."
Fade to Mere's. Izzie is lying under the Christmas tree, looking up at the lights like she's eight years old. Mere walks in and joins her. George follows, and then their new dog. It is, I have to admit, adorable, and Izzie looks absolutely GORGEOUS here under the tiny lights. MereVO: "Then there's the school of

Ice block falls from above during service
Brentwood CathedralA block of ice crashed through the ceiling of Brentwood Cathedral during a Sunday service.
Father James MacKay was leading the Eucharist Prayer on Sunday, 1 July when the chunk of ice fell through the roof.
Fr James Mackay said: “I was in the middle of the Eucharistic Prayer when there was a massive crash like an explosion. It was unbelievably loud.”
He could see slates falling from the roof through the window but, somewhat shaken, he continued with the prayer and the Mass.
Later an usher passed him a note to say that a block of ice had fallen onto the west side of the Cathedral, (pictured) breaking through the slate roofing and a timber roof batten.
Fr James added: “Fortunately, no one was hurt.”
Parishioner Dr Graham Hillman realised immediately what had happened: “There was a tremendous bang and through the principal west window I could see showers of what looked like ice falling. I recalled a lady in Doddinghurst whose outside loo had been completely demolished by an ice block and thought thank goodness no one was out there as they would have been killed.”
Although ice blocks have been known to form and fall spontaneously, the fact that the Cathedral is under a flight path makes it probable that the block fell from an aeroplane.
Repairs have been undertaken through an insurance claim but bad weather meant that the roof leaked and the ceiling became stained.
Chris James from the Diocesan Property Office estimates that the cost of repairs could be as much as £1,000.
He said: “The broken slates have already been replaced and waterproofed but we needed to hire a cherry picker to access that part of the roof and the internal redecoration of the ceiling has still to be done.
“The block hit a timber maintenance walkway in the roof. If it had struck a few feet to one side, it might well have brought the ceiling down.”
The building, near Brentwood High Street, is the newest cathedral in England and was built between 1989 and 1991.

Your question
ECS 8600 GT or MSI 8600 GTS or Something Else?
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
I need a PCI-E video card for my new rig. I was going to go with a 512 MB ATI 2600 Pro but I have seen the light after reading several bad reviews about it and the 2600 XT. I am not sure what AMD is doing but it is bad currently.
So I will go with a 512 MB nVidia. I am on a budget and the limit is $150 (after any rebates). That being said, I was looking at this 8600 GTS... (MSI NX8600GTS-T2D512EZ HD)
It sounds pretty good feature-wise.
I then saw this 8600 GT... (ECS N8600GT-512MX HS)
It is a really great deal after the mail-in rebate.
Now the spin part...
If I understand the above website correctly, you simply move the sliders for the Core Clock and Memory Clock to figure out what you are getting. If that is the case...
8600 GTS
Manufacturer: nVidia
Series: GeForce 8
GPU: G84
Release Date: 2007-04-17
Interface: PCI-E x16
Core Clock: 675 MHz
Shader Clock: 1450 MHz
Memory Clock: 2000 MHz (4000 DDR)
Memory Bandwidth: 64 GB/sec
Pixel Fill Rate: 5400 MPixels/sec
Texture Fill Rate: 10800 MTexels/sec
8600 GT
Manufacturer: nVidia
Series: GeForce 8
GPU: G84
Release Date: 2007-04-17
Interface: PCI-E x16
Core Clock: 800 MHz
Shader Clock: 1440 MHz
Memory Clock: 1600 MHz (3200 DDR)
Memory Bandwidth: 51.2 GB/sec
Pixel Fill Rate: 6400 MPixels/sec
Texture Fill Rate: 12800 MTexels/sec
So it seems that this ECS 8600 GT model beats the MSI 8600 GTS. Is that correct?
More about : ecs 8600 msi 8600 gts
There is also this MSI 8800 GTS (MSI NX8800GTS 320M OC)
It's a little more than I want to spend and has a slower core clock than the 8600 GT mentioned above.
8800 GTS
Manufacturer: nVidia
Series: GeForce 8
GPU: G92
Release Date: 2007-12-11
Interface: PCI-E 2.0 x16
Core Clock: 575 MHz
Shader Clock: 1550 MHz
Memory Clock: 1700 MHz (3400 DDR)
Memory Bandwidth: 108.8 GB/sec
Pixel Fill Rate: 9200 MPixels/sec
Texture Fill Rate: 36800 MTexels/sec
I guess 64 more stream processors and the higher bit rate make a huge difference.
Yet the ATi HD 2600XT cards all generally have 800 MHz core clock, 1400 MHz memory clock, and 120 stream processors.
Here is a MSI HD 2600XT that is overclocked... (MSI RX2600XT Diamond Plus Radeon HD 2600XT)
ATi HD 2600XT
Manufacturer: ATi
Series: Radeon HD 2k
GPU: RV630
Release Date: 2007-06-28
Interface: PCI-E x16
Core Clock: 850 MHz
Shader Clock: 850 MHz
Memory Clock: 2300 MHz (4600 DDR)
Memory Bandwidth: 73.6 GB/sec
Pixel Fill Rate: 3400 MPixels/sec
Texture Fill Rate: 6800 MTexels/sec
I am not an ATi or NVIDIA fanboy. I like them both, but it seems obvious NVIDIA is making the best cards to date.
Never compare core clocks of two cards on different architectures...The 8800 GTS's gpu would whip the 8600 gts like nothing. BUT..That card is NOT worth it. It's the old GTs...Not worth the money. If you are to buy anything within that price range..Get this..
Best way to go about it imo. The 3850 would stomp pretty much all those cards you listed at a great price. It's basically a lower clocked 3870, so you can just oc it if you are comfortable doing so, it's a very HOT buy atm. If you are running low resolutions, around 1280x1024 or lower, than you can nab this to save some cash.
256mb of memory, but for lower resolutions it does the job well. 512mb is more future proof, if you have a 22+ LCD monitor, best to go the 512mb route. Gaming above 1280x1024 also calls for more memory. Personally, I would never get anything less than 512mb now-a-days.

Thanks for the reply Kamrooz. I hadn't looked at the HD 3850 or the 3870. That 3850 does sound like an ass kicker. 725 MHz core clock and 256 bit rate sound good. I just want to get the most bang for the buck with my $150 budget.
For bang per buck, the 3850 and 3870 are the golden gooses atm. The 8800 GT 512 offers MUCH better performance, but costs more around 230-250. Just nab the 3850 and you'll be fine. Try to nab the 512mb version if you can afford it, but if you play in lower res, the 256mb will do fine. But do keep in mind that core clock doesn't mean anything unless you're comparing it to the same family of cards. 3850 clocks should only be compared to the 3850 and 3870, since they both run r670 gpu's. But yea, you won't be disappointed ^_^.
You will want something faster than the 8600 too. I am borrowing an 8600GTS and it runs everything good up to about 1280x768 but after that it loses steam fast.
The 8600 is a decent card, but it's nothing compared to the 3850. The 8600 GTS is alright, but the 3850/3870 is quite new, it's pretty much a shrink of R600, so you get the architecture of the HD 2900 for a VERY SMALL fraction of the price, if you are comfortable oc'ing, the 3850 is a steal, just bump up the clock speeds and you pretty much have a 2900XT, that runs cooler, and takes less voltage/watts.
When it comes to gaming cards atm, the bargains start above the 150 mark, performance below that is decent/mediocre till you hit the 3850, after that it's a competition between the kings of the midrange, the 3850/3870 offering 2900XT abilities, along with the 8800GT offering the performance of a 8800GTX at a mere 220-250. These are all still new cards, the newest released that is. Right now we're in the era of multi gpu setups, why else would they release midrange cards offering their previous high end performance? It's a great time for bang per buck atm ^_^. | http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/248611-33-8600-8600-else | dclm-gs1-011280002 | false | false | {

• It had the seeds of greatness but the foundation was weak. A tornado came and the entire city crumbled like a cookie.
That's my metaphor of this entire series. It started out great, it really did. I was impressed with Jerry O Connell and I thought Sabrina Lloyd as Wade started ok but a smite negative and dull but I thought maybe she will lighten one day. All the nagging can get to you after some time. Maybe she was the wrong choice to begin with because as the series went along, she became more righteous, naggy, whiny and more wifely like than ever! And there is definitely not much chemistry between Quinn and Wade to pass for anything. The professor was probably the most captivating character capturing the endearing gruffness of House and the intellect to match. He maybe at times a little tad insecure but hey he's human. Rembrandt was alright too being the humor of the series but after a while, I notice the characters were more 1 dimensional and perhaps if they got the dimensional development then maybe this show could have been interesting.
Still I enjoyed Season 1. Season 2 had too much bickering and negativity. Made it all less fun. I was bored with Season 3 and kept forwarding. The ideas were dull, been there and followed the same format of sliders get in trouble, sliders save the world, sliders slide outta there. It was predictable. I am about to watch Season 4 and 5 and am not sure if the change of cast was well explained but let's see. I like Kari Wuhrer and I think she might be hotter than Wade, but Jerry O'Connell's brother joining the show is a little hard to swallow. He doesn't have the same acting chops as Jerry really. I'll save more for later after I'm done watching it all :)
Until then *salute*!
• Interplanetery travelling
Sliders is about a team of travellers who travel from world to world. Jerry O'Connell played Quinn "Mallory" Mallory who finds a worm hole in his basement, and there it goes from there. It lasted for 5 seasons, but Jerry left after season 4, which could be the reason it slowly cascaded. They also got rid of Wade to a breeding camp but still. It was a fun show to watch over a Bud, but it slowly began to fade after season 3-4, which was a shame as it started out promising. It's a nice guilty pleasure to pass the time away now.
• I LOVED Kari Wuhrer in this show!
• A show that got worse every season
• Four acquaintances travel through parallel universes searching for their home.
This was one of the best new ideas for a sci-fi show to hit the air waves. When the show began it was inventive and had great potential to capture the imagination of a new generation of sci-fi fans. However, with each passing season, the writing became more and more copies of older sci-fi films or simply a medium for someone's personal agenda. Finally, the cast began bailing from the show like rats from a sinking ship (and I certainly can not blame them for their decision). As a result, the show was nursed along for some unknown reason and finally it was brought out to the woodshed like Old Yeller. It was a good start, but failed to finish.
• A pretty original show...shame about the scripts. Watch it for at least the first 2 seasons though.
Sliders had an original concept that allowed the writers to do anything they want every week. Borrowing elements from Quantum Leap (leaping and sliding into a new story every week with little continuity to carry over other than for the main cast) and The Outer Limits (comments on society...a lot!), Sliders took it's influences but never wore them fully on their sleeve. Thus giving itself a personality of it's own.
What help was the brilliant mis-matching of minds between the four original sliders. Brilliant but brash young scientist, his over-bearing but intrigued professor, his best friend/love interest and probably most original...a washed up soul singer. Yes, obviously Rembrant was there as a kind of eyes of the viewer, constantly questioning Mallory's techno-babble, but he was very much a 3D character in his own right.
If this was any other US sci-fi, the main cast would have been like Stargate (they're always on the same wavelength, always). Here, Sliders took the idea of being lost and finding uses and friendships in people you wouldn't think about in a normal situation. Sliders was basically held together by these four people, even when the episodes were bad.
And yes, quite a few were bad. Unable to really live up to limitless potential (not to mention the obligation of some kind of action) of parallel worlds, the writers would usually rely on the "utopia that is really dystopia" or even the just plain daft "zombies and vampires of the week". There was some poor writing which got Sliders stuck in a rut early on. They'd slide, go to a hotel, one of them would discover something bad, adventure, meet an ally, Quinn would say some speech before they slid (despite Arturo saying they literally had seconds left!) and repeat. Despite this being the sliders actual routine in a new world, we didn't need to see it being played out every week. Basically, if you ever need to learn anything about a parallel world...ask the hotel staff! They seemed to know EVERYTHING!
Rubbish writing aside, when Silders hit upon a great idea it really worked (see the Lobbying For Men's Rights episode). It really could use the stories as a satirical slant on what was happening in our world at the time. There were some great "what if?" episodes that really excelled. Only some were bogged down buy the obligatory all-out action. It's fine to see them run for their lives (you have to have that sometimes!) in certain episodes, but while it was suggested that not all worlds were bad, it just painted a lazy picture that Earth Prime was the best and every where else was bad. Extremely bad.
But even during these episodes, it was held together by the four sliders. You really cared for them and there was always that hope that they would make it home together. Sadly it wasn't the case. Season 3 amid all it's network troubles really lost focus, the shock death (the moment where it jumped the shark) was the beginning of the end. Stories were focused on more action and adventure (not alwyas bad, but very throwaway) and the new sliders that would eventually join would never gel well with originals. Did we really need an ex-marine in the group? Let's face it, Wade was miles better but made redundant when the action girl came into it (undoing years of character building). The suprise twist of a brother didn't help too. The show just started to add things because no-one mentioned them in the early episodes.
While it nice to see they had an arch nemesis and the idea that there were other sliders out there, it just didn't feel the same as the quirky off-beat show about four normal people in a bizarre predicament; with the basic premise of wanting to go home.
There's nothing memorable about the final half of the series. An alien race that enslaved humanity in all parallels was re-introduced, back in full empirical army mode. A real shame, since the idea that they were out there on the firnges of the unknown was a much better and horrific idea. It couldn't be as far removed as possible for the show. Rembrant become tougher and a natural leader, but with losing Mallory, the show lost it's scientific counterpoint (though thankfully the self-smug, obligatory, Quinn speech to some doe-eyed woman at the end of each slide. Bleurgh!). Sure, they had him in a new body but the lines given just weren't him. It's fair to say that this reviewer tuned during the end of Seasson 3, catching the odd later episode here and there. But from what was seen, the show (while much darker) had lost all touch with reality. There was no chemistry between any of the cast and with 3 of the originals gone, you had to wonder why the actor playing Rembrant ever stuck around.
It's a shame really, but when you can only do so many "what if?" episodes, where do you go from there?
All we wanted to see was them making it home and while the twist in Season 3 prevented that, it's a shame it never ended there with the survivors making it back. It was a case of carrying on for the sake of it (epsecially the evil slider aliens...WHAT? Who cares!), with a sense that "going home" really wasn't as exciting as "saving the worlds".
So with what amounts to two quirky, flawed, but entertaining two seasons; a darker and more weird 3rd...and two seasons that no-one watched because they were appalling...Sliders will go down in history as a cult sci-fi that had bags of potential, but never lived up to what could have been.
Watch it for the first two seasons at least though!
• Okay, I continue to watch a show that I have rated 6.6 .... well just because I did not rate it high does not mean that I don't continue to rent the DVD's and watch it.
I need to asked myself why? The premise is far fetched. And yet, it is interesting to think and examine what our world would be like if only...... What would I be like if only......
Once I get passed my issues with the premise, I am back to the storytelling and values that it makes me examine. A show that makes me think is indeed worth watching. It makes me realize how much my life has been determined by a "chance" happening. How much maybe our whole society has been shaped by "chance" events.
In addition, they acting just makes you smile. That is always a good thing.
• Great show when John Rhys-Davies was still playing proffessor Maximiliano, got a bit downhill in season 3 and the way Jerry O\\\'Connell (Quinn Mallory) was written out of the series. But the last episode was the one that really sucked.
The series that really recieves the tag Going Downhill Fast. In the first seasons every episode you get another supprise is switched to a boring enn and al lot of crew changes. Of the origional cast only Cleavant Derricks (Rembrand \\\'Remmy\\\' Brown) is in all episodes. The final episode was such a anti climax that it really blew down my rating from 8.0 to 7.0.
• This show could have been the greatest sci-fi show ever, till ruined by the network and their producers.
Mind you, I'm not the type of person to make statements like "best sci-fi show ever" lightly. But it's a shame to think about what could have been.
The premise - traveling to alternate versions of Earth - was fantastic. Rather than just space and time travel, which had been done to death, this series went for something fresh and exciting. (Yes, the concept of parallel universes had been around in sci-fi for a long time prior to this, but never in a weekly TV series format.)
The characters were great - Quinn Mallory, the geek who doesn't know he's a stud; Wade Wells, his wallflower friend with a crush on him, who doesn't realize she's a babe; Maximillian Arturo, the pompous professor who doesn't realize he's all that; and Rembrandt Brown, the show-business icon who doesn't realize he's washed up. And the cast played them perfectly.
Season 1 was phenomenal, integrating humor and good characterization with exciting action, reasonable science, and a genuine interest in its own premise. (Only Sci-Fi Channel ever shows the episodes in their proper order, though. Fox totally botched the running order, and the DVDs actually repeat this mistake!)
The ratings were bad, though, because the "Melrose Place" lead-in audience wasn't smart enough to get this show. So the network demanded that the writers remove all humor from the show--one of its best elements. So Season 2, while it had some shining moments, was often pompous and silly.
The ratings dropped further. So the network insisted that the writers plagarize popular movies for their storylines. And the characters started acting wildly inconsistently.
The ratings dropped further. So the producers killed off the Professor--the most intelligent and most popular character--and replaced him with a dumb bimbo.
The ratings dropped further, and Fox cancelled the show after having systematically killed it.
Over on the Sci-Fi Channel, things didn't get much better. Gone were the movie ripoffs, but Quinn was saddled with some bizarre new "Superman" storyline and a brother who couldn't act. The show began to play like a bad Saturday-morning cartoon.
Wade got killed off, then eventually Quinn and his brother too.
So in Season 5, we have Rembrandt and a bunch of characters we don't even know trying to accomplish who-knows-what (since Remmy's home had been destroyed, and the other three left home by choice). The show was a sad, pathetic parody of what it had been by the time it went off the air. Killing it was an act of mercy.
Maybe someday Tracy Torme (the show's creator) can get a hold of this and restore the show to the classic it was always meant to be in the first place.
• Dimensional/Time travel with a twist.
As it has been noted before, this show started to decline at around season 3, making season 4 very unwatchable after the main characters left the show. The thing I used to like about this show were the great stories and the anxiety the characters would experience before finding out what kind of universe they have landed on this time. Sadly, the budget, I suppose, limited the kind of universes they would visit because most of the times were just our regular universe with some kind of different laws or ideals. One good thing is that the show was never boring, there was always action going on.
• I think the Sliders show was way ahead of the cirve at the time.
I think the Sliders show was way ahead of the curve at the time. Simply put the show probably died because the plots were basically of the same linear design. And most of the effects were lame. But i enjoyed the show though it was great most of the time you actually really got into the story up until the when they left. But throughout the entire series they all ended the same and started the same. And they never really mention the previous episode. And what was the deal with the cromags near the end? Also it kinda sucked they didn't finish the series the right way since it was canceled .
• A fabulous start, barely surving through the end.
• was a cool show at first
this was a pretty cool show at first. i would say through the first three seasons it was great. then it went downhill fast. after john reece-davies left it started to suffer. then they brought in those stupid kromaggs and it really started to hurt just to watch. by the time it made it to the sci-fi channel i just could not watch it anymore. allthough i saw the last episode, and said it is about time.
• Sliders, a show about 4 traveling friends... who just happen to be traveling dimensions! This Show was well written, and had a compelling story.
I miss this show, up until a month or so ago SCI-FI was showing an episode every weekday. The story was great, and although the last couple seasons kind of tanked, I thought it was still compelling television. I wish SCI-FI would do a movie, just to show what happens to ALL the characters from the show.
• The first two seasons were ace, then it all hit the fan
I really liked the first two seasons of this show, the concept was simple but it had the scope for a good 4 or 5 seasons from the outset - as long as the writing staff didnt get lazy. A bit of a different take on the outstanding Quantum Leap, this show had credibility, a good core cast and some decent stories. As Season 3 began it went horribly, horribly wrong. The Kromags were introduced in the season 2 cliffhanger, I had no problem with them except the idea of the became a big focus of the show rather than seperate episodes about different dimensions. This was an obvious attempt to improve ratings, the same happened in Enterprise with the Xindi story although in that case I think it worked much better. The next pitfall was when Professor Arturo left and the dynamic of the cast was lost - his replacement just didnt have the necessary flair for the role. Following that we lost Wade, another integral cast member, then to top it off in Season 5's opening episode Quinn and his brother were merged into a whole new character (and actor) called Malorie!!! HAHAHAHA RIDICULOUS! I stopped watching the show as soon as that happened, and im not at all suprised that it was cancelled that year.
• Jerry O'Connell plays a prodigy who discovers sliding technology to visit alternate timelines of the earth existing in parallel quantum realities.
I was a fan of this series for the same reason that "Time Tunnel," "Voyagers" and "Quantum Leap" were all great series, but something happened between the second and third seasons that made the show a rip-off of "Stargate." "Sliders" had started off as a show that showed worlds where some historical event never happened or as a political satire on society, but it went downhill in a way that I lost interest. I could almost forgive for replacing Sabrina Lloyd with Kari Wuhrer, but then they eliminated the professor, gave Quinn a brother he didn't need and then eliminated both of them. I had stopped watching the series entirely by that point. It was not the same show by that point and I had lost interest. Let this show be an example of how excessive tampering can ruin a once great cult series!
• Great first two seasons!
• Back to the nineties..
• Started as a great science fiction series
• It was good until Jerry OConnell left the show.
When he left the whole thing started to decay and ended with a thud. Interesting stories for the most part playing out "what if" scenarios while exploring the theory of alternate parallel universes.
I always wondered why they never exited the wormhole into an Earth that had just been devastated by a huge asteroid and was now a glowing lifeless ball of molten rock or an Earth that was an airless, waterless rock full of toxic gasses where life never took hold. Ok, so they would have died the instant the arrived, but hey, it would have been a much better way of ending the series besides the pretty bad episode The Seer. A better ending would have been an arrival in San Francisco with sirens wailing as 3 Russian ICBM warheads approached the city, an electromagnetic pulse from the first detonation wiping out the Sliding Control Device and a blast wave turning the Sliders into smoking skeletons like in Sarah Conners visions in Terminator 2 - a flying HK helicopter passes over the ruins of San Francisco then a skeleton Terminator comes into view, turns and stares into the camera - fade to black. That would have been awesome!
After Jerry left I wasnt all that upset when it was cancelled. It would have been like William Shatner leaving Star Trek after Season 2.
• Great beginning not so great ending.
I loved this show from the start. But after the professor was taken off the show. It was all down hill from there. They kept bringing in new characters and taking others out. In the end is was like they were sliding with an entire circus. The show had such great promise. They should have just cancelled it after the professor left the show instead of running it into the ground.
• Sliders, well to begin off I own Seasons 1, 2, 3 on dvd. I was dissapointed to see the Professor leave in Season 3, dont get me wrong the show needed a change but some things are best left alone
My favorite episodes of Sliders were from Seasons 1-2 and part Season 3. I lost interest in Sliders due to the fact couldn't view it for one thing and the episodes became a bit repititive to think that the writers had great ideas but could of had plot twists. GREAT!!!
• While trying to invent an anti-gravity machine, college student Quinn Mallory accidentally invents something completely different: a way to travel to parallel earths, or as he put it in the narration... "same planet, different dimension" He and a group
It was a promising show at the beginning, one whose premise could have led to nearly infinite storylines if handled correctly and for a while, it seemed they were doing just that. The four main characters, Quinn; his physics professor Maximilian Arturo; Quinn's tomboyish friend Wade Kathleen Welles; and a middle-aged musician named Rembrandt Brown who was convinced he was on his way to a come-back, all worked well together. They journeyed from dimension to dimension in an effort to get back to their own after an accident in the premiere shorted out the device that Quinn had developed.
The series explored what America would be like if England had won the Revolutionary War, or if Russia or Spain ruled the country, or if the Egyptian civilization of thousands of years ago had never died out. They had episodes which examined the possibilities of the U.S. where women held the social "upper hand", or the justice system was reduced to a game show, hosted by, of all people, the man who played Ralph/Malph in Happy Days.
Perhaps the best part of those early episodes was the social commentary behind the plots. Many of them made you stop and think. There was a lot being said in them and they had a relevancy that was lost in the later episodes. Then the professor was written out in a very controversial move which I think lost the show a great deal of support and then Wade's character was also lost. When I found out she wasn't coming back I stopped watching the show. By that point it had lost so much of what had made it special to begin with.
• When Quinn Mallory accidentally invents sliding he and his three companions find they are unable to find their way home again.
Quinn Mallory accidentally invented a machine that gave him the ability to travel between dimensions. With his friend Wade Wells and Professor Arturo they decide to take a spin round the universe...without thoroughly testing the machine first.
Caught up in the vortex is Rembrant "Crying Man" Brown, who is understandably shocked to find himself driving into an iceberg.
Stuck in the middle of a natural disaster with a tornado approaching fast, they have no choice but to ignore a warning from Quinn's double and open the wormhole early. The consequences of their actions are clear...they have not returned home and are now lost in another dimension.
The sliders travel from world to world searching for their home world and encountering friends and enemies along the way.
The show had a great premise and with an infinite number of worlds there was an infinite number of storylines to go with it.
The first series was original, inventive and each episode offered something new to enjoy. The second series was equally enjoyable.
However by the third series the show seemed to have started to lose its direction. With the departure of Arturo and the introduction of Maggie Beckett there were changes in store. The Professor's opinions and knowledge about history were noticeably absent and instead the focus moved to the enemies that the sliders had made during their travels, most notably Rickman, a killer from Maggie's home world and the Kromaggs, a race of beings who are determined to enslave the occupants of every world they slide to.
But the show remained enjoyable to watch and there were some good episodes still to be had.
The fourth series came around and there was a glaring absence in the cast. Wade Wells, played by Sabrina Lloyd, was no longer there. Written out with not even a final episode to do her justice there was an opening for another slider to join the three remaining travellers.
The expansion of the Kromagg storyline gave the sliders a new reason to continue travelling. This time in search for Quinn's natural parents, doubles from another world, and the brother he never knew he had. An interesting idea but one which took the show even further away from its roots.
By series five I had almost given up on the show but after hearing that it was probably the final series watched anyway in order to see just would happen.
The series opened with two more absences, both Quinn and his brother Colin were gone with only a brief glimpse of two actors pretending to be them taking their place. Each of them was then written out with even flimsier storylines than that of Wade. The two replacement sliders, Mallory and Diana are soon travelling with Maggie and the last remaining original slider Rembrant.
The series was not entirely bad, the episodes focusing on Rembrant are always strong, and the episode Requiem at least offered a conclusion to the story of what had happened to Wade all those months ago. But with so many of the old favourites gone and the storylines once again focused not on how the worlds are different, but on the enemies they have made, it was not surprising that a sixth series never arrived.
A great show that went downhill when so many of the cast had left. It lasted well past it prime and like so many other shows gave the viewers no real conclusion.
• Sliders was amazing for the first few seasons but why the crap would they put Quinn is some wacky portal and bring him back as a new actor...
It really hurts me that i can only give sliders an 8/10 it was just so good put when the cast stated to change and all the dimentions were just like this but with a new government it sucked.
The first few seasons however were amasing. Bursting with creativity. It was full of amazing races and fantastic ideas for currupt governments and the cast worked great together. i would highly recomend the first 2 seasons on dvd to any sci fi fan
• If ever there were a show that was an example of how network politics can ruin amazing programming, this is that show.
Sliders has always been a special show for me. I'd always been fascinated by the idea of alternate dimensions. Red Dwarf, Star Trek, even a few oddball kid's shows had all briefly explored the idea of alternate dimensions, and I wanted MORE. When the advertisements started on Fox, I knew I had to watch this show.
Although I missed the first episode due to a transmision tower outage, the first season still stands out in my mind as really good television. It was amazing: science fiction BESIDES Star Trek on a major network in primetime. You had comic relief, drama, and enough pseudo-science to keep you entertained and believing it.
It wasn't until partway through the third season that I felt things started to go downhill, specifically with the departure of John Rhys-Davies. It wasn't the fact that he left that made the show worse, nor was it Kari Wuhrer's performance in subsequent episodes. (Though she was a little shakey in her first few episodes) I could tell that Sliders was beginning to move away from the wacky, care-free "let's see what crazy dimension we slide into this time" mechanic they'd used before that point. "Oh well," I thought, "at least it's because they're pursuing Robert Daltrey. He plays a great villain," which kept me happy until I found out that he only played the part of Colonel Rickman in two episodes. Still, the Rickman subplot didn't ALWAYS overshadow the plot of the episode. Sometimes it was still wacky and care-free, except for when the Sliders remembered they were after not-Roger Daltry.
Season four, I must say, is really where the quality went way way WAY downhill. The re-introduction of the Kro-Maggs was something I had expected would last one or two episodes, not an entire season. From what I understand, this change of focus was due to SciFi's desire for something to compete with X-files' fixation on conspiracies at the time, which was kind of like cutting off your own nose to spite someone else's face. Instead of, "what crazy dimension are they sliding into this time," it was, "what horrible ungodly thing have the Kro-Maggs caused this time." What the hell was SciFi thinking? "Oooo look, millions of people have died because the Kro-Maggs are Genocidal multiverse-Nazis, people will really want to come back to this steaming pile now"? Hardly. And just to add insult to injury, they added the mental image of Wade being held captive at a Kro-Magg breeding camp. Thanks guys, that really helps me sleep at night. At this point I barely watched the show for the most part. Sure, Colin Mallory was an interesting character, but that wasn't enough to make me sit through the rest of the nonsense. The entire season was frustrating and depressing, and I mean DEPRESSING. (Mass genocide tends to do that to things) I think two episodes of the season didn't make me long for the show to go into reruns.
And then enter season five, or as I reffer to it, the flailing death-spasms of a once-great show. Said death started when Jerry O'Connel walked after not being made Executive Producer of the show. Why he wanted it so bad has never been made clear; I like to think it was because he wanted to make sure the show steered clear of Kro-Maggs and anything else vaguely conspiracy-like. Regardless, the loss of Jerry and Charlie O'Connel was what signaled the death of the show, especially when the writers blatantly insulted the intelligence of the audience by asking us to believe that someone who looked NOTHING like Jerry O'Connel could actually be Quinn merged with another version of himself. And the new character for the season, Diana... well I barely remember her. Way to make 'em memorable, guys.
Now I will give the writing staff credit: they did seem to be getting their act together partway through the season. But the quality of the show wasn't anywhere near as good as it used to be. Peter Jurasik was a good villain, so good that sometimes I didn't particularly mind that he was always somehow behind everything that went wrong. But even with the few good episodes in the season and the love-to-hate-him villain it wasn't enough. The show was going down and going down hard. And instead of going out on some kind of high note we get sad music with a pan back, followed by the oddly final line, "what do we do now?"
If you only watch the first two-and-three-quarters seasons of the show it's a solid 9.5, but once you get into the latter seasons it just becomes unenjoyable. I'd like to see it come back, but only if whoever brings it back doesn't get caught up in this "we have to have an overbearing conspiracy every season" nonsense.

1. Diet pills
Diet pills are pills, taken like Advil or Tylenol, that supposedly increase your metabolism and burn more calories. Some diet pills get over people's psychological block that is holding them back from losing weight but the ones that really do work on your metabolism have been proven to be dangerous. Countless investigations by government agencies and high-ranking officials to private investigators have looked into the world of diet pills resulting in lawsuits, damage reports and in some cases the pressing of criminal charges.
A famous example of a diet pill and a famous model for it would be TrimSpa and Anna Nicole Smith respectively. Smith appeared in several advertisements for the diet pill ranging from television commercials, radio commercials and other forms of marketing. Her death was not related to consumption of TrimSpa.
Kim's taking diet pills? Wow, that's about the most desperate thing she's ever done.

29. Trill
Trill is a group of ignorant low-lifes that tend to reside in Downtown Albany (229 time) Georgia. This group of neanderthals classify themselves as Emo/Scene kids. They are for the most part seventeen and under in age, and most wear girls jeans followed by there black dyed hair and "Emo hair styles". Some are characterized with features such as large nose's which was never evolved from there prehistoric ancestors.

Keeping A Gentle Grip On Power
Page 2 of 3
The third leadership strand is perhaps the hardest to internalize, but Whitman has: Don't assume you know more than the marketplace or community--because you don't. Unlike Wall Street bond traders who try to outguess and outsmart the market, Whitman listens and learns to formulate the right questions; then she influences others on her team so they can come up with the right answers. "You are constantly taking in new information," says Whitman, "constantly changing the prism through which you view your business." Adds Tierney: "CEO s today have to be receivers rather than transmitters. It's a discovery process, not a dictatorial process."
Learning by doing. Whitman has demonstrated leadership through learning by making several trips to China, listening and trying to understand how the country actually works. Her time on the ground was crucial. China's 100 million Internet users are second only to those in the United States.
Whitman also uses her board of directors as a think tank, a resource to help identify key questions that affect eBay's fortunes. And she invites her senior staff to board meetings to make sure they are full participants.
Because eBay is so new, Whitman's education often happens at the same time a market unfolds and reveals itself. "Sometimes," says Bill Cobb, president of eBay North America, "it feels like we're hurtling through space." When eBay users wanted to buy and sell cars online, Whitman and her team worried about risk, trust, and safety. "There's a big difference between a $40 collectible and a $40,000 car," says Whitman. "We had a fair amount of debate on this. There were 100 reasons not to do it."
But they did it. Recognizing that the community knows what it wants, the company created a separate website to see how this marketplace would sort itself out. It wasn't clean or simple at first, and Whitman and her managers constantly revised the site to solve problems as they came up. "It would have been tough to anticipate all the issues, so we went to market and revved on the fly," explains Whitman. "Sometimes you are delighted, sometimes you are surprised, and sometimes you are horrified. . . . What's the worst thing that can happen? You fail."
In this case, eBay hardly failed. More than 1 million cars and more than 50 million parts and accessories have been sold on the company's website since 2000.
Whitman's moves don't always win acclaim. After eBay acquired the Internet-telephone company Skype (which has yet to show a profit) in September for $2.6 billion, eBay's stock price sagged, and commentators called the deal overpriced, "pretty goofy," and "kind of dumb." Yet the shares soon righted themselves, as the market appears to be giving Whitman the benefit of the doubt based on her track record.
Sitting still. Vulnerability, exposure, and a willingness to just go with the flow are essential components of modern corporate leadership. But so, too, is a willingness to embrace inaction--even when inertia is pulling in the opposite direction. Several years ago, for instance, Whitman was sitting with a fully priced offer from Yahoo! that would have integrated eBay into its Internet cousin. Despite the attractive financial proposal, the CEO listened hard and recognized that the eBay community of users would not be served well by a merger. She broke off negotiations, and eBay and its buyers and sellers preserved their independent and sometimes rambunctious network.

| 28 Aug 2013 18:25
Kite City GW2
Guild Wars 2 doesn't need no stinking expansions.
In the year since GW2 launched, it has carved out a large corner of the market, and helped to redefine the MMO genre by providing a genuine breath of fresh air in its uniqueness, and following up strong with constant content updates. Celebrating their first year's achievements both in and out of game, the developers have been making Guild Wars 2's birthday something that their players will never forget. The President of ArenaNet and Executive Producer of Guild Wars 2, Mike O'Brien wrote up a blog post on the GW2 website, looking back over the last year, and giving a state of the game address. Even better, I had the opportunity to ask O'Brien a few questions about his feelings on Guild Wars 2, and to see where ArenaNet is looking going forward.
It's no secret that the Guild Wars 2 developers are very proud of their production schedule. Maintaining content updates at the backbreaking pace of two per month has been definitive for GW2, and the developers have made the Living World updates the primary focus of the game. O'Brien described some of the planning that went into developing the Living World system, saying, "We wanted it so that things would always be happening. We thought, 'doing updates once per month would be a big deal'. But we thought we could do it. And as time went on, we ended up completely reorienting the company to deliver a lot of content regularly."
Guild Wars 2 has become a game about constant dynamic in-game events, and the developers are committed to providing a growing world that players can have a meaningful impact on, and feel like they are a part of something greater than themselves. O'Brien detailed what he thinks sets the Living World apart from other games, explaining, "We wanted dynamic events to be a part of the game, and Living World events. We have over 1,000 dynamic events, so when a player comes upon an event, their question isn't 'Where did this come from?', their question is, 'Hey, how can I get involved with this?' That's what a living world feels like." During our discussion, O'Brien made it clear that this kind of player involvement and maintaining a persistent and life-filled world has not only been crucial to the success of the game thus far, but remains integral to the developers' vision for the future.
O'Brien explained that completing ten quests for Helpless Jimmy doesn't actually do anything for the game's world, because every other hero in the entire game is also helping Helpless Jimmy. If players want to have a meaningful impact on the game, they need to see a tangible result from their efforts, which is the true goal of GW2. Living World events such as the Cutthroat Politics update give players an opportunity to permanently change the game going forward. The developers are trying to achieve a constant feeling that new things are just around the corner, and that the players' involvement is crucial to that change. They want players to feel that things are always changing and growing, and that there is always a new content to be explored.

0.031832 | <urn:uuid:6baa7ab3-690e-4341-8380-b1fad3faac02> | en | 0.958058 | CASTELLAW: Let veterans decide what school is right
Obama plan to treat heroes like scofflaws is insulting
America’s for-profit colleges are invaluable resources for millions of Americans. They provide our economy with roughly one-half of its technically trained workers. They help displaced workers train for new employment or improve the skills of workers seeking to raise their incomes. And they do so more effectively than even our great community college system, producing graduation rates 20 percent higher.
For-profit schools are particularly valuable for veterans. Unlike traditional college freshmen, veterans often return home to busy schedules dominated by work and family. They require the flexible course schedules and online classes that are the hallmarks of for-profit schools. As shown by my example, the needs of veterans often cannot be met by traditional nonprofit schools.
So why is the Education Department seemingly so intent on making it harder for veterans to attend for-profit school? It’s hard for me to understand. While their goal of reducing federal student loan debts and defaults is laudable, this regulation seems ill-suited to this purpose and, for some reason, applied only to for-profit schools.
Far from being a source of high debt or defaults, a higher percentage of for-profit school graduates repay their loans in full than do graduates of community colleges, which are exempt from its regulation. Graduates of two-year for-profit programs earn virtually the same in their first year on the job as graduates of two-year programs at public and private nonprofit schools. The department also ignores the fact that many low-income graduates pay off their loans over a longer period of time than those completing degrees at other schools. So why the double standard?
Maybe the department simply isn’t fully informed about the benefits of for-profit education or the value of its graduates to our economy. In either case, it’s time to put the brakes on this new and harmful regulation until all the facts are thoroughly reviewed. Veterans shouldn’t see their plans for a higher education shot down without a full and measured consideration of this regulation’s impact on their hopes and aspirations.
America’s warriors have done everything we’ve asked them to do; now it’s time to make sure we provide every option for veterans to transition to civilian life and a new career in a tough economy. That’s where for-profit colleges come in. Just as hard, realistic training readied our troops for war, for-profit schools are preparing veterans to win jobs and better salaries. The Education Department should rethink the Gainful Employment Rule and allow our veterans the chance at an education and a better life.

1/2 marathon
Posted by Stephanie S.
What should my longest run be, rather, how long does it have to be in training for 13.1? Can it be 14????? That would be great!

Here is a great training guide for a 1/2 marathon.
You really don't need to to 14 miles in training. Remember that race day is a whole different animal than training.
You can probably finish a half marathon after you've run 10 miles as a long run, but if you want to finish the half feeling great and with low risk of injury, I suggest you should do long runs of 14-15 miles a number of times so your body can partially adjust to the stress of the 13.1 distance. Think of a half marathon (or full marathon) in terms of stress on your body rather than in terms of miles. Your question then becomes what can I do to reduce the stress of the half marathon so I feel great at the end and have little risk of injury. Of course the answer to that question has to be to let your body experience that stress and adjust to it. This means that you must run at least 13.1 miles if your body is to adjust to the stress from that distance. If you only run 10 or 11 miles before the race, your body will experience the stress of a half marathon for the first time during the race, and that may not be a pleasant experience for you.

Glenn Beck is right. A Saudi national was involved in the attack. However, his comments did not go far enough. U.S. oil companies, the CIA, FBI and the Saudi government are all partnered together to create terrorist attacks to convince the American people to invade first Iraq and now Iran. The end goal is for the Saudis and the U.S. oil companies to control all the world oil.
Shame on you for spreading all the government propaganda! Remember the Nuremberg Trials. You will eventually be held accountable.

Passengers on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner head to the emergency slides, after their plane was forced to land due to a malfunction. Pilots on the All Nippon Airways (ANA) Dreamliner made the emergency landing in Japan on Wednesday (January 16), after an apparent battery error triggered warnings in the cockpit. Witnesses said there was a strong burning smell on the plane. It's the latest and most serious incident to hit the Dreamliner, which is the world's first mainly carbon-composite airliner.

Kundu S and Peterson CL (2009) Role of chromatin states in transcriptional memory. Biochim Biophys Acta 1790(6):445-455
Abstract: Establishment of cellular memory and its faithful propagation is critical for successful development of multicellular organisms. As pluripotent cells differentiate, choices in cell fate are inherited and maintained by their progeny throughout the lifetime of the organism. A major factor in this process is the epigenetic inheritance of specific transcriptional states or transcriptional memory. In this review, we discuss chromatin transitions and mechanisms by which they are inherited by subsequent generations. We also discuss illuminating cases of cellular memory in budding yeast and evaluate whether transcriptional memory in yeast is nuclear or cytoplasmically inherited.

Feng D, et al. (2013) Molecular signaling toward mitophagy and its physiological significance. Exp Cell Res 319(12):1697-705
Abstract: Mitochondrial autophagy or mitophagy is a cellular metabolic pathway that mediates the selective elimination of dysfunctional or unwanted mitochondria. Considerable advancements have been made to elucidate the molecular mechanism behind mitophagy, particularly Parkin-mediated mitophagy. Several mitophagy receptors have been discovered in different physiological settings, including ATG32 in yeast as well as NIX, BNIP3, and FUNDC1 in mammalian cells. However, the signaling events that regulate these mitophagy receptors and their physiological significance in human diseases are poorly understood. In this paper, we review recent advancements in mitophagy at the cellular and molecular levels.

HSBC sites vulnerable to XSS flaws, could aid phishing attacks
Summary: What would the perfect phishing attack from a social engineering perspective? The one that compared to using typosquatted domains impersonating the bank's web application directory structure is in fact using the bank's legitimate domain names as redirectors due to XSS flaws within.
XSS flaw HSBCWhat would the perfect phishing attack from a social engineering perspective? The one that compared to using typosquatted domains impersonating the bank's web application directory structure is in fact using the bank's legitimate domain names as redirectors due to XSS flaws within. It's even more interesting to measure the average time it takes for a bank to fix the XSS flaws within its sites upon getting notified of them, which in some cases is longer than the average time it takes to shut down a phishing site.
In yet another compilation of XSS vulnerable sites courtesy of Dimitris Pagkalos at XSSed.com, the largest online archive of XSS vulnerable websites, HSBC Holdings plc owned domains are vulnerable to XSS flaws which could easily aid in a phishing attack :
If they want to own HSBC's e-banking customers, all they have to do is to register a "suspicious" looking domain like hscsbc.com which is currently available and then serve a phishing page. Even better, they can exploit a cross-site scripting vuln on hsbc.com, obfuscate the attack vector and significantly increase their phishing success rate!"
With the Ebanking industry slowly embracing the "No Security Software, no Ebanking Fraud Claims for You" mentality in order to forward the risk of potential fraud claims to the customer, would a customer still be able to file fraud claims given that the phishing attack occurred due to a vulnerability in the bank's site? They'll definitely ask for the security software in place before that, indicating their degree of NOT understanding the threats to their customers.
A brief excerpt from the previous post on the irrelevance of having security software in place when the bank's sites are vulnerable, and why the emphasis on the security software speaks for the simplistic understanding of the threats their customers face on a daily basis :
"Cross-site scripting vulnerabilities within banking sites are nothing new, in fact, in the past there were initiatives tracking down such vulnerabilities and how long it took for the bank to fix them. Barclays is an example with XSS vulnerabilities unfixed for over a year despite notification. Why aren’t they taking XSS seriously at the first place? Because the people responsible for their anti-fraud activities aren’t aware of the potential to abuse the vulnerabilities and user the bank site as a redirector to malicious software, or a phishing page with a decent SSL certificate in place. Phishers are indeed using XSS vulnerabilities to scam a bank’s customers, thanks to the bank’s vulnerable web applications, here’s the most recent incident"
It always starts with the basics. A customer should demand some accountability from the banks he's using on what are they doing to make his transactions more secure, and what have they done for the past couple of years in this direction. The reality is that the banks themselves don't make a different between a Trojan horse and a banking malware, it's all viruses to them, and this underestimation of the current threatscape directly reflects their inability to protect their customers. Here are some examples in regard to HSBC for instance :
- The importance of patching is limited to visiting the Windows Update site, which leaves all of your non-MS software unpatched, which in times when every average web malware exploitation kit is taking advantage of 10 to 15 different client-side vulnerabilities in the most popular video players, browsers, even browser plugins and widgets, doesn't speak for a good situational awareness on behalf of a bank
- The use of free anti virus software is recommended, next to using a third party anti spyware software. If you are aware of a spyware infection case through fully patched Firefox and Opera web browsers point it out. There are exceptions with spyware coming in as a fake extension, but the fact that the emphasis in such an advice isn't on the recommendation of using another browser but IE, speak for itself from my perspective
- Encouraging the use of the free ZoneAlarm is not a bad advice compared to the opportunity for them to provide a benchmarked analysis of personal firewalls and which one scored the most based on the criteria the customer is interested in
And talking about the basics, the XSS vulnerabilities within the sites could have been detected even by the cheapest scanner out there. Most of them still remain active, let's see for how long.

• How many users understand or care....
Your article raises a number of good points. But the best advice for not getting phished is to bookmark a secure page on the bank's website and use ONLY that bookmark to access your account. You will get redirected to the genuine login page. Another piece of advice is to use a sandbox program and create a sandbox that you only use for accessing bank sites. And use the bookmark to the secure web page to do your online banking. By not having any other web sites open in the sandbox, there is little chance of getting struck by cross domain scripting. I agree that the banks should tell customers how they protect them, but it should be in non-technical terms. Both sides have take precautions to protect themselves. If a customer gets careless, well, it's his money, and his responsibility. If the bank gets careless then they are not doing their job of caring for the customers money. To my way of thinking, a free anti-virus program is only useful in these cases if it can detect web threats. Clamwin, for example is not a real time AV program, so it should not be allowed as a customers AV program. Free Zone Alarm has no anti-phishing or web detection capabilities, rather, per the comparison chart on the web site, "stays out of the way; does not interfere with the way you surf the web", so I fail to see the relevance of this program to protection against phishing.
• This is not enough...
As a HSBC customer in UK, I usually receive emails with links from them (TRUE emails) directing me to their website, which is something that in Brazil, for example, all major banks decided to give up. Emails are the best place where you can have a phishing attack related to banks. It's all about safety and they have to create a rule over this issue as well.
• "Could"? I think it has already been done.
Actually, although you seem to suggest that this is hypothetically possible but has not been actually successfully implemented 'in the wild' (correct if I'm wrong) I encountered a phishing attempt in an email that I received about a year ago that I'm sure used this security hole.
I never fall for this stuff but I do follow the links, examine the URLs, page sources and paths that people will get taken on, even fill up the question blocks with garbage just out of spite. And indeed last year, I received a phishing email (from an American bank where I have never had an account) and as I explored the nature of the exploit I was quite astonished that the first link was not to Russia or China, etc., but to the bank's legitimate home page, where your login information is supposed to be entered. I entered bogus details and I was forwarded to a foreign web page that clearly had captured my invented login details. I played with these phishing bozos some more (I have several favorite user names like 'George Bush' or 'Osama Bin Laden', and some creative, often off-colour passwords, etc.) and was directed around their site, and then probably after being thanked for my 'cooperation' was bounced back to the bank's real home page (login page) to continue.
I actually made an effort to contact the bank's security about this because I had never seen such an insidious phishing attempt before. I included all of the details of what had happened, the URLs I was directed to and everything that I thought was important for this bank's security, I emphasized that I was really surprised at the level of sophistication of this attempt at trying to fool people. What happened? I may have received a boilerplate email thanking me, yada, yada, yada, but I have no reason to believe that a human, much less a real Internet security person, even read my email. I have received many phishing attempts (although not like that one), and sometimes I do (as the bank's web site requests) forward the URLs, etc. to their special email. But you know what? I get back some stupid email (again, boilerplate) treating me like a moron and giving me a pep talk about the dangers of giving usernames or passwords to people or websites, and all that crap.
Frankly, I have never seen any reason to believe that banks are really, truly all that concerned about electronic security. I assume they depend on their insurance to cover their butts when they get scammed, or hope that some of their customers are too stupid to realize they been ripped off so nothing is ever done about it. Bank's are clearly far more preoccupied with PR, with saving face, then with having the occasional 'inconvenience' of losing the odd hundred, thousand or million dollars.
It really makes you wonder.

Potters midfielder happy waiting for his chance
Whelan: Biding his time
Whelan: Biding his time
Stoke City midfielder Glenn Whelan knows he has a massive fight on his hands to regain his starting place in Tony Pulis' team.
The Republic of Ireland international has been restricted to just three Premier League starts this season, his last coming in Stoke's 2-1 win at Newcastle in September.
Whelan was disappointed he was not recalled when the team were going through their bad patch, a spell that ended emphatically last week with wins over Birmingham and Liverpool.
The 26-year-old knows it will be even harder to win his place back in Pulis' starting XI now that they have returned to winning ways, although he is happy playing the waiting game.
"The last week we've had two great results and I know it's going to be tough when I go back," he told Sky Sports News.
"I was hoping maybe because we went on a run of four or five without a result there could be changes, but the manager stuck with them.
"I know there's going to be suspensions and injuries coming around so when I get a chance I have to try and take it."
Ireland debuts
Whelan is currently away on international duty with Republic of Ireland and he is expected to start Wednesday's friendly with Norway.
The game will also see Jonathan Walters and Marc Wilson make their international debuts and Whelan believes the pair will impress.
"For Jonny being a centre-forward and an attacking player it's important for him to try and get a goal if he gets some minutes," he continued.
"I think people know what Marc is about. He's still only a young lad, but he's very good on the ball. He's very calm and collected as well and can pick out a pass. From what I've seen I know he'll be a top player." | http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/6510777/ | dclm-gs1-011770002 | false | false | {

The Sailcloth
First appearance Skyward Sword (2011)
Found Skyloft
— In-game description
Sailcloth Icon
The Sailcloth is an item from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. It is made by Zelda to give to the winner of the Wing Ceremony as part of the ritual. Prior to the ceremony Zelda wears it as a shawl. To her delight, Link is the champion of the Wing Ceremony to whom she gives the Sailcloth. Link can use it like a parachute to glide slowly to the ground, or to catch updrafts so as to propel himself into the air. The Sailcloth is used to land safely when dropping from Skyloft to the surface. Its gliding function is similar to that of a Deku Flower, the Deku Leaf, and Ezlo from previous games.

As I write this book and relive my experiences, I can see that I'm not the same person I was three years ago. When I watch the first-season episodes of The Sopranos, I think, "Who is that girl?" I was so wide-eyed and naive back then. Now, I'm a stronger person, and I'd like to think I'm smarter, too. I'm not talking 1600s-on-the-SATs smart, I'm talking life-smart. I was thrust into an adult world at a very young age — I've been performing since I was eight. Maybe all I've been through has taught me to appreciate things more — simple things, like sharing quesadillas on the set with my "mom" Edie Falco, or hanging out on Christmas break with my best buddies and laughing at each other's dumb jokes. There isn't a day that goes by that I'm not grateful for all that I have and all that I'm doing. But beyond the success, I've also been given this great gift: As an entertainer, I get to reach people and maybe, just maybe, make a difference in their lives.
So why me? Well, why not me? I'm not all that different from you, except that I now know some pretty important things that they don't teach you in school. I hope you'll laugh, learn, and maybe even cry a little when you read my book. Or at the very least, say, "Wow! I never knew that about Meadow!" I'll do my best to tell it like it is and it was.

The breakup of Arctic sea ice because of global warming is depriving polar bears of weeks of valuable hunting time they need to survive the long ice-free months without food, according to a new study in the scientific journal Arctic.
As a result, hungry polar bears are being driven to shore weeks earlier than usual, the report says.
Once on land, they are interacting with people more often, sometimes giving the false impression that their populations are increasing.
In fact, the report says, continued warming in the Arctic will cause the bears to become "increasingly food-stressed," which will most likely cause a significant decline in numbers.
Fewer Hunting Days
Researchers from NASA and the Canadian Wildlife Service studied satellite data to measure the extent of sea ice in several regions of the Arctic since 1978.
Looking at the Western Hudson Bay region, for example, scientists found that the warmer temperatures were causing the sea ice to break up seven days to eight days earlier per decade over the last 30 years.
That means polar bears in that region have had their prime hunting period cut by as much as 24 days.
"There is a lot of variability, but in general the trend is for that date to come earlier and earlier in the spring," said Claire Parkinson, a climatologist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and co-author of the study.
The earlier breakup means significantly less time for polar bears to use the ice to hunt seals and build needed energy reserves, according to co-author Ian Stirling, a polar bear expert with the Canadian Wildlife Service.
"Seventy to 80 percent of the energy they will use for the entire year is taken in between April and the ice breakup in mid-July," Stirling said.
"If they feed for a shorter period of time, they're going to accumulate less fat. At the same time, they're going to be on land and fasting for longer periods of time. So there's a double whammy."
Population Confusion
Scientists say the irony is that among some native Inuit hunters in the region, the increased number of bears seen on land has been "interpreted as evidence that the populations were growing," the report says.
In several cases, this even led to polar bear hunting quotas being raised, allowing more of the bears to be killed.
Researchers say that the population is being inaccurately -- and unintentionally -- inflated as more bears come on shore, where they are spotted by people, and that it is very unlikely that populations are increasing.
Population data collected in the Western Hudson Bay, for example, shows that polar bear numbers have actually declined from about 1,200 bears in 1989 to about 950 in 2004 -- a 22-percent drop.
As the sea ice disappears, experts say there are few food options on land.
Bears are left to scavenge for dead whales or seals that wash up on shore, for example.
"There are a few small sources of nutrition, but they're not enough to sustain the population as a whole," Stirling said.
The lack of food is apparently forcing some polar bears to resort to cannibalism.
In June, Canadian and U.S. scientists reported three separate incidents in which polar bears had attacked and eaten other polar bears.
Fingerprints of Global Warming
"It is very clear that the length of the sea-ice season is getting shorter," Parkinson said.
The primary reason, according to the report, is global warming.

Six volunteers in matching blue flight suits emerged from behind a steel hatch this afternoon at Moscow's Institute for Biomedical Problems, smiling from ear-to-ear after spending the past 105 days in an "isolation experiment" to try to replicate the conditions a spaceship crew would face on a manned trip to Mars.
The six included four Russians, a German and a Frenchman who entered the facility March 31 in order to see how their bodies and minds would cope with the isolation and limited communication from Earth. Two of the six are astronauts, the others are an oncologist, a sports physiologist, an airline pilot and an army engineer.
By all accounts, the experiment went well, although concrete results from the 72 tests conducted during the 105 days won't be released for several weeks. The men appeared to be in good health as they stood together in a row in front of a large assembly of journalists and staff after exiting to loud applause.
'Giant Leap for International Mars Exploration'
"It was a small step for mankind and a giant leap for international Mars exploration," Johann-Dietrich Woerner, chairman of the German Aerospace Center, said during a news conference after the crew's exit from the module.
The experiment is part of a larger project dubbed "Mars 500." The three months the men spent in isolation are a precursor to another simulation to take place in 2010, when another crew will submit themselves to 520 days in isolation, the projected time it would take for a return trip to Mars.
In almost a year and a half, the experiment will attempt to mimic the 250 days it will take to get to Mars, a 30-day stay, and the 240-day return while the crew adheres to a strict schedule and diet.
The six-member crew lived in a cramped 19,500-cubic-foot facility where they were put through various scenarios that they would face, including a simulated landing on Mars, a 20-minute delay in communications each way with Earth and various emergencies.
Skeptics Criticize Isolation Experiment
Skeptics have criticized the experiment because, in the backs of their minds, the crew members knew that they could exit the capsule if they had to, unlike if they were millions of miles away from Earth. The experiment also didn't simulate some of space's basic elements like weightlessness.
"I must admit that I have absolutely lost the feeling for time on a long-term basis," German Oliver Knickel wrote in a diary entry posted on the European Space Agency Web site (which is working on the project with the Institute for Biomedical Problems). "I, absolutely, have no idea about the total length of time we have spent inside the module now."
After a quick medical, the team members arrived at the news conference and told reporters one of the reasons the experiment was successful was because they had become a very close-knit group.
"We all had some personal competence to detect in others how far we could push them," said Frenchman Cyrille Fournier, calling the group dynamic respectful and polite. "We avoided really critical tensions."
The friendship theme was repeated by each member of the team, a crucial factor in helping them maintain some sense of normalcy while cut off from the outside world.
Cosmonaut: Political Will Lacking for Mars Mission
"You were working all the time," Russian Alexey Baranov said. "Even when you were resting, you were far from family and friends. It was difficult to prepare, psychologically, for that."

Well, my application to Rome is in. Now all I can do is wait. argh.
I bought fabric for my Halloween costume today. It'll be a Victorian-ish (no claims to historical accuracy here) dress in the sort of coppery burnt orange color I love so much, plus a rather insane print I thought fitted well. I'm excited to start sewing it, but not so excited about cutting everything out.
This weekend has been delightfully nonacademic, though this evening I'll have to study, being as I have two tests tomorrow. Ah well. Eat, drink, and be merry, I suppose, for tomorrow...
Edit: Why in God's name don't I have a Roma-jii icon by now? Must fix that posthaste!

Moved back in on Saturday for my third (AUGH) year of college. We're in a different building now, which is still weird, but I think I'll adjust to that eventually. The missing people are a lot harder to adapt to, though. It feels a lot more subdued.
I've had all my classes now, and I'm excited for this year. Still not quite sure what to make of History of the English Language (or HEL, as our professor calls it), and Latin contains higher-than-usual levels of terror, but I've embraced my masochism in that regard. I've got friends in most of my classes, which is a bit of a new experience, what with the classics-blitzkrieg of previous years and all.
Also also! Apparently I have a job interning with the classics department this semester! And I can do both swing and karate, because they're not at the same time!
...I think I've used up my excitement quota. But my application for Rome is underway.

We had a dinner party of SUCK yesterday, by which I mean my father made me cook a nice meal and socialize with people I don't know, who turned out to be uber-catholic. FUNTIMES.
I'm home again, and have been for a few days. Bleeeeh. There's a lot of work that needs to be done around the house, which is of course my responsibility, but at least I'm almost all unpacked. Hardcore sewing needs to happen this summer, since I have SO VERY MUCH fabric I need to get rid of, and also Otakon things. Those are necessary.
My old high school's Cabaret performance was last night. It wasn't quite as good as last year's, but it was still a lot of fun. There are fewer and fewer people I recognize in it, though. :(
In other news, Bleach has nommed my brain almost completely, and I can't quite bring myself to hate it for that.

So, yeah. Our archaeology class went on a trip yesterday afternoon to a state park nearby to look at stratigraphy and the sediments that had filled in behind a dam that had been in the area until about 25 years ago. It was the hottest day we'd had all year, so I was expecting to hate myself and everyone around me for three hours, but it was excellent, honestly, despite the face-planting and the thornbushes. The riding back to college soaked to the waist was my own damn fault, but wading through the river was absolutely lovely, and I didn't lose my cell phone like I thought I might. Maybe I should bring people back there.
Also, have never seen a natural spring before (which is probably what that was, though the geology professor with us wasn't quite sure...?). And no sunburn. It was a good day.

In other news, still love Latin and Greek, even though they hurt me so and I've been avoiding them all weekend.

What is Wet Waste?
Guelph Recycling. "Recycle Guelph." Internet; accessed November 1, 2009.
*Another form of wet waste is wastewater.
- Natalie Hui
1. The above graphic is misleading. Sanitary waste such as napkins, diapers cannot be composted. These have to be incinerated (burnt in a professional machine meant for the purpose)
What is Wet Waste?
- Vegetable waste
- Fruit waste
- Food waste except oily waste
- Tea leaves
- Coffee powder
- Garden trimmings
- leaves
- Flowers
- Pencil shavings
- Match Sticks
- Newspaper (good to line the waste bin with paper without using plastic covers)
What is not wet waste...cannot be composted
- Sanitary Waste
- Cigarette butts
- Oily food (harms the composting process)

fT>HIS book demands no previous knowledge of any language, except
English. While linguistic training would, of course, be a great
assistance to the learner, yet in framing my explanations, in select-
ing terms and in foreseeing difficulties, I have had in view the wants of
persons who take up the study of Volaptik next after that of their mother
tongue. These are the persons most to be benefited by an international
language, and this is its natural place in a course of study. 1 have, there-
fore, rigidly excluded all reference to any language except the two in ques-
tion- -English, already known, and Volapiik, to be acquired. A fair
knowledge of English grammar is presupposed ; therefore I have not
wasted space in explaining the ordinary technical terms.
There are excellent works on the subject in French, German and other
languages, but translations of such works are very unsatisfactory to an
American learner. He finds things taken for granted which are quite
unknown, and things explained which to him are self-evident. I have
tried to place myself in the attitude of such a learner, and to give him
just the help he needs, and just at the point where he needs it. I have
jested and modified my methods by experimental teaching.
I have not followed the ancient custom of treating each part of speech
by itself, but have taken up each modification in succession, a plan which
seems to me preferable, at least in a language without irregularities.
In the Exercises, few words are introduced, but many combinations
are made of them, so as to give the greatest amount of drill in the inflec-
tions. As English has almost no inflection, this feature is the strangest
and most difficult, and requires the most practice.
The Vocabulary will place at command over one thousand of the most
frequently occurring words, besides a vast number of their derivativs
which will be readily understood.
I have made no changes in the system itself, but have tried to repre-
sent faithfully what it actually is, following the authority of the Second
General Assembly held in Munich.
Upon the recommendation of the American Philological Association
and of the London Philological Society, I have dropped the final e, mis-
leading and unhistorical, from such words as "infimtiv," "feminin," etc.

VOLAPUK is designed to serve as a means of communication between
persons whose native languages are not the same. Such a medium
has long been regarded as desirable. The hope has often been
expressed that one of the great national languages may, by common
consent, be selected as a * universal language" ; but there is not the
slightest probability that this great advantage will be voluntarily given to
one nation, or that any one of the great powers can ever impose its lan-
guage on others.
Volapllk is one of numerous attempts at solving the problem of a
common language. Without entering into a discussion of their merits, it is
sufficient to say that no other attempt has ever passed beyond the experi-
mental stage or been actually used, to any considerable extent, for the com-
munication of thought. Volaptlk has now become so widely diffused that it
can no longer be treated as a mere project, and some acquaintance with its
history and the general principles of its construction will be desired by
educated persons.
This " world-language " was invented and first published in 1879 by
JOHANN MARTIN SCHLEYER, a German, and a priest of the Roman
Catholic Church, who had become a very accomplished linguist. The
system is entirely his production, and has not been modified in any
essential point.
His aim was, first, to produce a language capable of expressing thought
with the greatest clearness and accuracy ; second, to make its acquisition
as easy as possible to the greatest number of human beings. He resolved
to seek these ends by observing the processes of the many languages with
which he was acquainted ; following them as models wherever they are
clear, accurate and simple, but avoiding their faults, obscurities and
The material and the form, or the dictionary and the grammar, call
upon different mental faculties. One's stock of words is retained by exer-
cise of the memory. Therefore the radicals or root-words were generally
so chosen by him from existing languages, that the greatest number of
persons might have the fewest unfamiliar words to memorize. Since
English is spoken as a mother-tongue by more millions than any other
language he took from it more root-words, with or without modification,
than from any other, or about 40 per cent, of the whole. The selection is
limited by such considerations as brevity, distinctness and ease of utter-
ance difficult and unusual sounds and combinations being excluded.
Thus, in selecting a word for the idea man, the English word is found
very suitable, especially as it is substantially the same in all other Teutonic
tongues; and it has been adopted, but sounded as in German. The word
house, or haus, for the idea of a dwelling, is found objectionable for several
reasons: the h is to be avoided because unpronounceable by some nations,
and the s is already appropriated for the plural termination. The Teutonic
roots being barred out, recourse is had to the Latin, and dom is selected.
We are also familiar with this in English, as in domestic. In hand again
we have the same trouble with h and also with the two consonants coming
together, the plural hands being unpronounceable by certain peoples. The
Latin root man- will not help us here, because man is already appropriated.
Therefore, the transposed form nam is adopted, slightly assisting the
As to grammar, the first requisite is regularity, and the second is sim-
plicity. There was before the inventor a choice between the inflectional
and the analytical modes; whether to express the relations between words
by modifications in form, or by separate words as connectivs. He inclined
to the former, and his language is rather inflectional than analytical. It
has four cases: the nominativ, being the unmodified form, and the genitiv,
dativ and accusativ, designated by vowel endings. In selecting these
endings the inventor has greatly aided the memory by employing the
first three vowels, , <?, ?', in their regular order. In the verb, the distinc-
tions of tense are denoted by the vowel series, a, a, <?, ?', o , u, at the
beginning, while the persons are distinguished by affixing the pronouns,
ob, I, o/, thou, etc. A prefixed p marks the passiv voice. The remaining
inflectional forms are provided for by simple and regular terminations.
For some time after the appearance of Schleyer's grammar, his adher-
ents were few, and his project was ignored by the scientific and literary
world. It spread first to Austria, where it awakened considerable interest,
and where the first society for its propagation was formed at Vienna in
1882. Until 1884 its adherents outside of the German-speaking countries
were very few and scattered. In that year it invaded Holland and Belgium,
and a great many societies sprang up in those countries. In 1885, Dr.
Auguste Kerckhoffs, Professor in the School of Higher Commercial Studies,
at Paris, introduced it to the French nation by several articles, lectures and
treatises. This created a great sensation in France and a strong National
Association " pour la propagation du Volapiik " was formed, which num-
bers such men as Francisque Sarcey, Emile Gauthier, and Dr. Allaire.
Prof. Kerckhoffs aroused enthusiasm, not only in France, but in other
countries where his works were circulated. Spain was the next, followed
by Italy and Portugal. During 1885 and 1886 the countries of the north
Sweden, Denmark and Russia also received the new language. Thus,
the extension of Volaplikhas been geographical, and the English-speaking
peoples are the last of the great European races to be affected by it. In
each country, as a rule, its popularization has immediately followed the
publication of a grammar peculiarly suited to its people.
Prof. Kerckhoffs, some months ago, estimated the number of persons who
have studied Volaptik at 210,000. This may be somewhat too high, but
the number is certainly very large. In Vienna alone, the classes during
the winter of 1886-7 were attended by 2,500 students. 138 societies for its
cultivation have been organized in different places.
Eleven periodicals are now published, devoted primarily to Volapiik, at
Constance, Breslau, Madrid, Paris, Vienna, Munich, Milan, Puerto-Rico,
Stockholm Aabybro (Denmark), and Antwerp, the youngest being four
months old, and the oldest, six years. Most of these contain articles in
the language of the country, as well as in Volaptik; but three of them, one
being a humorous paper, are cxclusivly in VolapUk.
The bibliography of the subject (as given at length in "Le Volaptik,"
No. 10) comprises 96 books in 13 languages. This does not include
articles in periodicals, nor Schleyer's single-sheet compendiums in various
languages, nor works merely announced as forthcbming.
Two General Assemblies, or Congresses, of the advocates of Volaptik
have been held: the first at Friedrichshafen, in August, 1884 ; the second
at Munich, in August, 1887. The third is to take place at Paris, probably
in August, 1889.
The Congress of 1887 established a three-fold organization: a General
Association of the supporters of Volaptik (Volaplikaklub Valemik) ; an
Academy of VolapUk (Kadem Volaptika); a Central Organ (VolapUkabled
Zenodik). Schleyer's own Weltspracheblatt, published at Constance, was
designated as the organ, and its name has been changed accordingly.
Each of these organizations has its officers, Schleyer remaining at the
head of the whole movement. The Director of the Academy is Prof.
Kerckhoffs ; his colleagues number, at present, 17, from various nations:
Germany, Austro Hungary, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Holland, England,
the United States, Russia, Syria. The Academy is expected to edit the
standard dictionary and grammar, to authorise new words, to adopt any
necessary changes, and to give their sanction to approved works of
The most obvious application of Volaptik is for international correspon-
dence, especially commercial correspondence, which is numerically the
most important. It will require no argument to convince the business
world that a common language, if easily learned, and once established,
will be an immense facilitation of commerce. This modest claim is all that
is necessary to put forth on behalf of Volaptik at present. If firmly estab-
lished for this purpose, the extension of its usefulness into the fields of
science, diplomacy and literature may safely be left to the future to deter-
mine, as well as whether it will ever be used by travelers. It will, in any
event, be watched with great interest, and its rise and progress will form a
novel and curious chapter of history.
The best test of having thoroughly learned any section of
the book is the ability to read and write the corresponding
exercise fluently and correctly. After doing this, the section
should again be read, to see that all its directions are fully
understood, but memorizing is not recommended.
Persons who are not trained in the study of languages had
better not examin the ' ' Synopsis of Inflections " until after
they have mastered Exercise 25 with all before it. They
are then recommended to make a copy of the Synopsis, leaving
blanks for the Volapiik letters, which they will afterwards fill
up from memory.
As additional practice, take at any time a few words of the
Vocabulary, and compose some Volapiik sentences introducing
those words, together with the other words and forms already
known. Try to compose in Volapiik from the idea, without
thinking of the English way of expressing it. Take the
Volapiik sentences given in the exercises as frames, and fit in
other nouns, verbs and adjectivs.
For teaching classes, I recommend blackboard lessons,
based on the exercises and preceding the study of the text.
Each lesson should embrace review-practice on foregoing
sections and preparatory exercise on coming subjects. Oral
lessons for schools, entirely inductiv, will be published here-
Linguists or philologists who desire to obtain a general
knowledge of the structure of the language can do so by an
hour's study of the fable of "Abraham and the Old Man,"
with the "Model of Translation and Grammatical Analysis "
referring to the Synopsis of Inflection.
The Alphabet of Volapiik consists of the following letters :
These are the same as in English, omitting q and w and
adding a 6 ii.
The following have their English sounds :
b, in ook.
d, in dog.
f, in /ame.
h, in
k, in
1, in /ow.
m, in me.
n, in no.
r, in ray.
t, in /ea.
v, in z>ain.
x, in box.
g is sounded as "in go, never as in George.
s is usually sounded as in sole ; but in such combinations
as bs, ds, gs, Is, it is softened to a z-sound as in rose ; just
as happens in the English words, tufo, eggs.
y is always a consonant, as in
j is sounded like sh.
c is sounded like /in judge.
z is sounded like /$.
The vowels have one invariable sound each ; not as in
English, where each vowel has several sounds and each sound
has many representativs.
a as in papa, psalm, far, father.
a as in care, fair.
e as in they, obey.
i as in machme, be.
o as in go.
6 as in word, szr.
u as in rude, rood.
ii has nothing like it in English. The lips being protruded
as if to say u (oo), try to say i (ee).
Some English words spelt, as nearly as possible, in Volapiik
letters :
A public functionary, coc. A fowl, gus. The act of
selling, sel. Parts of the hand, pam, nels. Animals,- jip,
got, kaz.
The accent is always on the last syllable, exclusiv, how-
ever, of a syllable joined to it with a hyphen, -li and -la are
the only syllables so hyphenized. Ex. : getom ; getom-li ?
Two vowels coming together are sounded in separate
syllables ; as laut (la-ut), geil (gay-eef), sied (see-aid].
In writing and printing Volapiik a system of punctuation
is employed which differs slightly from ours, as follows :
The quotation-marks are " instead of" ".
The exclamation-point is used after a simple address, as
well as after an ejaculation. Where we write
Dear Sir ,
Volapiikists would write Dear Sir !
The use of capitals is the same as in English, except that
nouns and adjectivs derived from proper nouns do not begin
with capitals, nor do any pronouns. In our language we
print "Frenchman, France, French."
in Volapiik flentel, Flent, flentik."
In this book, we print Volapuk words and sentences in
heavier type.
In learning to pronounce Volapiik, the first difficulty is to
avoid sounding the vowels a e i o u
like their English names A E I O U.
Always think of them and speak of them by their Volapiik
names. Originally they had the same sounds in English.
The Volapiik syllables pa pe pi po pu
are not to be read pay pea pie Po pew
but like the English syllables, pa pay pea Po poo (shampoo)
Read them over carefully several times, then drop the p sound
and repeat a e i o u
The adding of another consonant at the end does not
change the vowel sound ; therefore, pet is pronounced pate
(not pet) ; pit is pronounced pete (not pit) ; pot rhymes with
goat, not with got ; put rhymes with boot, not with but, nor
with foot.
When you meet with a new Volapiik word do not "jump "
at its pronunciation by guessing what the letters might spell
in English, but consider each sound. If necessary to analyse
it, do so in the following manner : begin at the last vowel ;
sound it alone ; prefix a consonant ; affix another consonant,
if any, until the last syllable is sounded ; then build up another
syllable in the same way ; sound the two together, accenting
the last, then the next syllable, sounding all three, and so on.
Thus, to read the word Volapiikatidel :
e, A.
de, day.
del, dale.
i, E.
oh, owe.
vo, vo.
volapiikatidel, vola'h-piika'h-teadale. X,
There are in Volapiik the following Parts of Speech : Noun,
Pronoun, Adjectiv, Verb, Participle, Adverb, Preposition,
Conjunction, Interjection. Their uses are the same as in
There are no Articles in Volapuk.*
The grammatical distinctions are : Number, Gender, Case,
Person, Degree, Tense, Mood, Voice.
These distinctions are marked by adding a sound or a
syllable at the beginning or end of the simple root-form. In
English we often mark them by separate words. Thus the one
word pulogoms stands for the five words, they will have been
seen. They is indicated by the ending oms ; will have been by
the syllable pu at the beginning ; log is the simple root-form,
and means, as a noun, eye, but as a verb, to see. Pu and
oms may be analysed thus : u as a verb-prefix (or tense 'aug-
ment, as it is called) indicates the future-perfect ; p is the sign
of the passiv voice. In oms, s denotes the plural ; m de-
notes the masculin third person ; o is characteristic of all
person-endings and unites them to the verb.
When no such distinctiv syllables are added it is under-
stood that
the number is singular ;
the gender is masculin ;
the case is nominativ ;
the person is the third ;
the degree is positiv ;
the tense is present ;
the mood is indicativ ;
the voice is activ.
Nouns have number, gender and case.
Pronouns have number, gender, case and person.
Verbs have number, gender, person, tense, mood and voice.
Adjectivs and adverbs have degree.
Adjectivs may also have the inflections of nouns, but this
is seldom required.
* Anyone may convince himself of possibility of dispensing with articles by reading
aloud any extract. Omission of articles will be found not to obscure sense. In
telegrams, articles are seldom used.
The simple form is the singular number.
The plural number always ends in s.
Man, a man ; plural, mans, men. (Man may also be
translated, the man, or simply, man. The articles an, a and
the are always omitted. ) Vom, the woman ; voms, the
women. Ob, I ; obs, we. Om, he ; oms, they.
Ol, thou or you ; ols, ye or you. In English, you is
sometimes singular and sometimes plural. In addressing one
person, ol should be used ; while ols is used for two or more.
The numerals are always placed after the thing numbered.
Man bal, one man. Mans tel, two men. Voms kil, three
The first nine numerals end in 1, preceded by the vowels in
regular order.
123456 789
bal tel kil fol lul mal vel jol ziil
The tens are formed by adding s.
10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90
bals tels kils fols luls mals vels jols ziils
Numbers composed of tens and units unite the two parts
by,e', and, balsebal, n; balsetel, twelve; telsebal, 21;
lulsevel, 57; ziilseziil, 99.
Turn, hundred ; mil, thousand ; balion, million ; these
are preceded by one of the digits. Baltum, 100; teltum,
200 ; kilmil, 3000 ; folmil foltum, 4400 ; lulmil lultum
lulselul, 5555.
Buk, book. Dom, house. Man, man. Pul, boy.
Del, day. E, and. Mug, mouse. Vig, week.
Doab, dollar. Gan, goose. (pronounce moo?) Yel, year.
Dog, dog. Jip, sheep. Mul, month.
1. Put all the above nouns into the plural, giving the Eng-
lish meaning of each.
2. Express in Volapiik : books, days, men, houses, mice,
months, geese, boys, weeks, dollars.
3. Would you use ol or ols in the following sentences?:
"Are you an American ?" "Will you take seats ?"
4. Read these numbers in Volapuk: 2, 5, 33, 42, 3, 41, 6,
25, 50, 75, ioo, 7, 77, 777, 7777, 8, 18, 6, 99, 15, 13, 64,
5 1 , 84, 77, 333, 1887. I2 -
5. Express in Volapuk, aloud : 5 men (remember the
order is 'men five'); 3 boys; 12 years; $20; 10 years; 3
months; 6 mice ; $50; 16 houses; 3000 books ; 100 sheep;
55 boys; 32 years and 10 months; 7 days; one week; 30
days, one month ; 365 days ; 12 months , 52 weeks, one year ;
6. Read aloud, thinking of the meaning, Mans bals ;
gan bal ; obs ; muls kil ; doms fol ; yels baltum ; jips
tel; mugsziil; doabs balsetel; buks teltum ; muls
balsetel ; yel bal ; dels kiltum malselul ; yel bal ; ols ;
obs tel.
7. Give the English of each of the above phrases.
It is not sufficient to go through these exercises once ; they
should be repeated again and again, until they can be spoken
with the greatest rapidity.
Each Volapuk exercise is to be first read aloud, thinking of
the meaning, but not of the English words. Then it should be
translated into English, the translation written down and com-
pared with the key. After a time the key should be translated
back again and compared with the original.
The case endings are the first three vowets,
-A. -E. -I.
in the plural -AS. -ES. -IS.
For example, i. Kim ? who ?
2. Kima ? whose? of whom?
3. Kime ? to whom ?
4. Kimi ? whom ?
The names of the cases are : kimfal, kimafal, kimefal,
kimifal," taken from the cases of kim, with the word fal,"
meaning "case."
i. The kimfal, who-case or nominativ, is the simple form
without any added vowel. It answers the question, " Who ?"
It is usually translated by the English nominativ.
2. The kimafal, or whose-case, ending in a, is the answer
to the question, "Whose?" or "Of whom?" It is usually
translated by the possessiv ( 's) or by "of." Fat mana ;
the mans father, or the father of the man. The kimafal is
sometimes called the genitiv.
3. The kimefal, or to-whom-case, ends in e and answers
the question "To whom?" It is usually translated by to
with the objectiv ; but frequently we omit the to ; thus we say
"I gave an apple to the boy," or "I gave the boy an apple."
"Boy" would be in the kimefal as expressing the indirect
object of the action. The kimefal is sometimes called the
dativ case.
4. The kimifal, or whom-case, ends in i, answers to the
question ' ' Whom ?" and denotes the direct object. In the
sentence just given "apple" would be in the kimifal. It
corresponds nearly to the English objectiv. It is sometimes
called the accusativ.
As to endings :
i. 2. -a 3. -e
As to names :
4. -i.
i. Kimfal. 2. Kimafal. 3. Kimefal. 4. Kimifal.
Or, after the classical style :
i. Nominativ. 2. Genitiv. 3. Dativ. 4. Accusativ.
Answering the questions
i. Who? 2. Whose? Of whom ? 3. To whom ?
4. Whom?
Denoting usually
i. The Subject. 2. The Possessor. 3. The Indirect
Object. 4. The Direct Object.
Translated by
i. The Nominativ. 2. The Possessiv or of. 3. to.
4. The Objectiv.
The kimfal, preceded by the interjection o " and followed
by an exclamation point, is used in addressing a person : o
sol!" "Sir." This is sometimes considered as a separate
case, called the kimofal or vocativ. It seems, however, better
to consider it a nominativ independent, as in English.
O " is sometimes omitted in this case.
Prepositions regularly govern the kimfal. Thus, we express
"near me " by nilii ob," not nilii obi " nor ,,nilii obe ;"
"out of the house," se dom," not se doma" nor se
Occasionally, the kimifal will be found after a preposition
instead of i at the end of the preposition itself, as will be
explained hereafter.
- A word used elliptically, like "good-morning/' "thanks,"
"my compliments," is usually in the kimifal, a verb being
understood as, [I wish you] good-morning, [I return] thanks,
[I present] my compliments.
Directions for translating into Volapiik :
1. A word in the nominativ is put in the kimfal. If the
nominativ is independent put o before the kimfal.
2. The possessiv is rendered by the kimafal.
3. A word preceded by "of" is generally put in the kimafal.
4. A word (other than a verb in the infinitiv) preceded by
"to" is generally put in the kimefal, but not if "to" signifies
motion. "I say to you," ,,sagob olse"; "I go to you,"
golob al olsi."
5. A word preceded by any other preposition is usually in
the kimfal.
6. A word in the objectiv governed by a verb is put in the
The adjectiv has ordinarily no case-ending ; but occasion-
ally it takes the case-endings of the noun which it qualifies.
This is only done when the adjectiv, being out of its regular
place, might be supposed to qualify some other word. Thus,
diinan, meaning servant ; blod, brother, and fiedik, faithful.
Diinane fiedik bloda ; or,
fiedike diinane bloda; or,
diinane bloda fiedike ; to the faithful servant of the brother.
Diinane bloda fiedik; or,
diinane fiedika bloda ; to the servant of the faithful brother.
But it is better to leave the adjectiv in its usual place.
DECLINING. To decline a noun is to give all its cases in
regular order. Thus fat is declined :
fat fata fate fati
fats fatas fates fatis
Decline all the nouns in the vocabulary of Exercise i.
(Remember to accent the last syllable. )
Express the following in Volapiik : Of the fathers, to the
boys, of a man, to the dog, the geese.
Givom, gives. Logom, sees.
Blinom, brings. Labom, has.
(Why these words end in om will be understood hereafter)
Nam, hand. Fut, foot. Fat, father.
Diip, hour. Mon, money. Log, eye.
Read in Volapiik and translate into English :
Man labom dogi. Man labom dogis tel. Pul
labom dogis tel e jipi bal. Dog logom gani. Pul
logom dogi. Man givom dogi pule. Pul givom gani
mane. Man givom doabis kil pule. Dog labom futis
fol. Gan labom futis tel. Man labom futis tel e
namis tel. Dog mana labom futis fol. Fat mana
givom doabis kil pule. O fat ! man givom doab; bal
pule. Kim blinom dogis mane ? Pul blinom dogis
mane. Kim labom moni ? Fat labom moni.
Answer in Volapiik the following questions :
Kim labom dogi ?
Kim logom gani ?
Kim givom dogi pule ?
Kimi man givom pule ?
Kime man givom dogi ?
The last three questions may be answered by the same
words differently emphasized.
CAUTION. In translating into Volapuk do not overlook
the distinction between the subject and the object of the
sentence. Put the subject in the kimfal and the object in the
kimifal. In the above exercises there is one ERROR in this
respect, purposely left uncorrected. Did you notice it ?
Express the following sentences in Volapfik. In each
sentence there is at least one word which ought to be put in the
Who has the dog ? The boy has two dogs [dogs 2]. The
man has three dogs. The dog has four feet. The boy has two
feet. Who has two hands ? The man gives money. The
man gives money to the boy (or, the man gives the boy some
money; some would not be translated). The boy's father
[father of boy] gives a dollar to the man. The year has
twelve months. The month has thirty days. The week has
seven days. The day has 24 hours. Who brings the goose ?
Who sees the dog ? Who sees the two sheep ? To whom does
the man give money ? (Literally, to whom man gives money ?
"Does" is untranslatable.) To whom does the boy bring
money ? The boy brings five dollars to the father.
The pronoun of the FIRST person is ob, I ; plural, obs, we.
When the verb is in the first person the pronoun is united
with it as a person ending, forming one word. Binob, I am ;
piikob, I speak ; komobs, we come ; golobs, we go.
The pronoun of the SECOND person is ol, thou or you
(singular); ols, you, plural. See remarks on the distinction
between ol and ols, page 5.
These syllables ol and ols are likewise suffixed to the verb,
forming one word. Binol, thou art or you are ; piikol,
thou speakest or you speak ; komols flens, you, friends, are
coming ; golols, ye are going.
We may also translate "I am" by ob binob, and "thou
art" by ol binol ; but this repetition of the personal syllable is
unusual, and only employed for emphasis or when it is desired
to place the subject at a distance from the verb.
In the THIRD person there are four pronouns : om for
masculms and neuters, he, it ; of for feminins, she ; os, neuter
impersonal or abstract; on, collectiv, one (as "one says"),
people, "they." In the plural, oms and ofs, they.
These pronouns are also suffixed to the verb, binom, he
is, it is ("IT" being some definit thing previously mentioned).
Piikof, she speaks ; golofs, they (the women) go ; nifos, it
snows ; sagon, they say, people say, one says, it is said.
Even when the subject of the verb is a noun expressed, yet
the om or of must be added : of for a feminin subject, om
for any other. Vom binof jonik, the woman is beautiful.
Man binom famik, the man is famous. Dom binom
gletik (not dom binos gletik), the house is large. Doms
binoms gletik, the houses are large. Jisons binofs yunik,
the daughters are young.
We can now conjugate any verb through the persons of the
present tense.
1. binob, I am. i. binobs, we are.
2. binol, thou art, you are. 2. binols, you are.
3. binom, is, he is, it is. 3. binoms, are, they are.
binof, is, she is. binofs, are, they are.
binos, it is.
bin on, one is, people are.
The mnemonic word OBOLOMOFOSON contains all
the personal pronouns. If it be written from memory twenty
times the verb endings will not be easily forgotten,
Buk, book. Komob, I come. Golob, I go.
Lilob, I hear. Binob, I am. Piikob, I speak.

Om, he (it); of, she; os, it; ji, female.
All nouns are considered as "masculin" unless expressly
denoting females. What we call the neuter gender of nouns
does not exist in Volapiik. Thus of is used of female persons
or animals ; om is used ist, of males ; 2nd, of living beings
whose sex is disregarded ; 3rd, of lifeless or sexless things (it);
OS is z'/, speaking abstractly, where no noun is referred to, as,
It is fair weather.
Will you be faithful ? I swear it.
Ji- is a prefix (English, she) used to make nouns feminin,
when the sex is to be specially pointed out.
A few words, easily recognised, are always feminin, as mot
(=jifat), vom (=jiman), lad (=jisol), kun (=jixol).
Other words, if relating to men, are masculin without
any prefix ; if relating to animals, the unprefixed word is
common (indifferent) gender, the name of the male animal has
the prefix om-, and the name of the female the prefix ji-.
Jeval, horse ; omjeval, stallion ; jijeval, mare.

The possessivs, my, mine, iky, thine, etc. , may be rendered
in two ways :
1. By the kimafal of the pronoun ; fat oba, my father ; fat
obas, our father.
2. By the termination -ik, forming a possessiv adjectiv ;
buk obik, my book ; buks omsik, their books ; buk at
binom olik, this book is yours.
The kimafal is used when otherwise there would be too
much repetition of the termination ik.

father and mother love their children. Who is our father ?
Our father is the husband of our mother. Your father and my
mother are friends. My teacher's language [language of
teacher mine] is French [French language]. Your teacher
reads my books.
The demonstrativ pronouns, which are used as adjectivs,
and also by themselvs, are the following :
at, et, it, ot, ut ; som.
Emphatic forms, at, eit, iet, 6t, ut ; som.
At, this ; man at, this man ; buks at, these books ; del
at, this very day.
Et, that ; pul et, that boy ; jipuls eit, those very girls.
It, -self; man it, the man himself; vom it, the woman
herself; ob it, I myself; obs iet, we, our own selves.
Ot, same ; tidel ot, the same teacher ; tid 6t, just the
same instruction.
Ut, that, before a relativ ; man ut, kel vilom binon
libik, that man (or the man) who wishes to be free.
Som, such ; dog som, such a dog ; kats som, just such
The emphatic forms are rarely used and may be dispenst
with altogether.
Laned, country (not the city). Lan, country (a division of land).
Dom, house. Lodop, dwelling.
Sevob, I know, am acquainted Ab, but.

This country is mine. I live in that house. The men who
live in that town know us. We live in the same town. These
animals are horses.
The relativ pronoun is kel, who, which, what. It has the
force of a conjunction and a pronoun. It is used indepen-
dently or as an adjectiv.
The interrogativ pronoun is kim ? kif ? kis ? when used
independently, and kiom ? kiof? kios ? when used as an
All other adjectivs are formed from nouns by adding the
ending -ik. Gud, goodness ; gudik, good. Lof, love ;
lofik, dear; loflik, lovely. Yel, year; yelik, pertaining to
the year ; yelsik, yearly. Any word with the end-syllable -ik
is surely an adjectiv.

My dear friend : [use kimafal to avoid repetition of ik]
Your letter is short and cordial. I have a few friends who
write to me long letters.
CAUTION. Adjectiv after noun. But with two adjectivs,
you may put one before and one after, to avoid ik in suc-
cession. Give to the first the same termination as the noun.
Ex. : "Of many men," ,,manas modik;" " of many good
men," ,,modikas manas gudik."
All good men have good hearts, and love good things.
God is the father of all men [human beings]. All men who
love God are good. God is the author of all good things. I
am your cordial friend, who hopes that you are well. The
letters which YOU write to us are short. Who is the lady to
whom you write long letters? That lady is the wife of
Doctor B ; she, herself, is not [no binof ] a physician.
Hereafter, many of the words used in the exercises will have
to be looked for in the vocabulary at the end of the book.
Si, yes. No, no or not; when it means *#/, it is placed
next before the verb which is denied.
Lesi, yes indeed. Leno, not at all, by no means.
God no lofom menis badik. Mens badik no lofoms
Godi. Subsats in volapiik no binoms neudik ; laboms
genis te tel, no kil. Dins nelifik binoms gena manik.

I do not see my three books. Which book [book which}
is good? This book is not bad. I have not many good
books. How many genders are there in Volapiik? [" Genders
how many are in Volapuk ?" Omit "there" in "there is,"
"there are."] There are two genders [two genders are] in
Volapuk and in French ; there are three genders in English
and in German. One (not bal, i) studies Volapuk in all
countries of the whole world.
Numeral adverbs, expressing repetition, are formed by add-
ing na. Kilna, three times ; kilidna, the third time.
Adverbs are formed from adjectivs, and sometimes from
other parts of speech by adding o, corresponding to the English
Vifik, quick ; vifiko, quickly.
Neit, night ; neito, at night ; neitiko, nocturnally.
When the adverb ending in iko immediately follows the
verb, o is sometimes omitted ;
gonom vifik (vifiko), he runs fast (swiftly).
It is much clearer, however, to retain the o.
Fidobs kilna in del, telsebalna in vig. Buk at tidom

Dels goloms vifik, e no labobs timi modik.
The dog eats fast. You write well [goodly]. We speak
Volapuk badly. I write three letters twice in a week. We
buy books cheaply ["cheaply " after "buy"]. We buy cheap
books. The merchant buys cheap and sells dear.
To form the comparativ and superlativ degrees, the suf-
fixes urn, iin, are used.
Gudik, good ; gudikum, better ; gudikun, best.
Gudiko, well ; gudikumo, better, in a better manner ;
gudikiino, in the best manner.
These endings um, iin, may be added even to nouns ;
fleniin obik, my best friend. Binom solatum ka ob, he is
more of a soldier than I.
Umo, iino, are also used as separate words meaning in
greater degree, in the greatest degree. Binom umo solat ka
bolitel, he is more of a soldier than of a politician.
Ka, than. as, as. Suno, soon.
Binob baledikum ka om. Buk at binom gudikum

best in the whole world ? j/I have not so many books as you,
but I read more [books]. What is the easiest language in the
whole world ? I do not know a language which is easier than
Each of the tenses has one of the vowels as its peculiar
sign : [a,] a, e, i, o, u,
for the present, or patiip a
for the past, or patiip a
for the perfect, or petiip e
for the past-perfect, or pitiip i
for the future, or potiip o
for the future perfect, or putiip u
These vowels when prefixed to the verb are called tense-
signs or augments.
The present-sign, a, is omitted in the activ voice.
Binob, I am ; abinol, you were ; ebinom, he has been ;
ibinof, she had been ; obinos, it will be ; ubinon, one will
have been.
In English, most of the tenses are expressed by using the
auxiliary verbs, have, shall and will ; while in Volapiik there
are no such auxiliaries, the verb-form consisting of a single
The word "do" is used in English as an auxiliary denoting
emphasis, as, "I do believe." In Volapiik this cannot be
translated otherwise than "I believe."
The same tense-vowels,
a, a, e, i, o, u,
are used with some words other than verbs, when time is to be
adelo, to-day.
adelo, yesterday.
odelo, to-morrow.
udelo, day-after-to-morrow.
amulo, this month.
omulo, uyelo, etc.
Put the following words into all the tenses, giving the
meaning of each :
Komob. Golol. Getom. Nagof. Lomibos. Sagon.
Labobs. Binols. Sumoms.
O flen divikiin ! egetob penedi ola blefik e pidob das
ebinol maladik. Spelob das uvedol suno saunikum e
das ovisitol obis omulo.
Dear friend : the long letter, which you wrote to me, has
pleased me (kimefal) very much. I hope that I shall soon
have got better, and that I shall see you again next year.
All the tenses of the passiv voice commence with the letter
p. Therefore the passiv tense-augments are,
present pa- palofob, I am loved.
imperfect pa- palogol, yon were seen.
perfect pe- peflapom, he has been struck.
pluperfect pi- piropof, she had been interrupted.
future po- posagos, it will be said.
future perpect pu- pununon, one will have been
In English, a present passiv is often really perfect in signi-
fication ; as, "the house is finished," dom pefinom." On
the other hand we use what is, apparently, an activ form in a
passiv sense, as, "the house is building," meaning "the house
is being built," ,,dom pabumom." In all such cases we must
consider the sense and not the sound.
Fa, by.
Nelijapiik papiikom in Nelij, Pebaltats, Kanadan,
Talop e lans votik. Volapiik potidom in juls valik.
Volapiik padatuvom fa sol Schleyer. Fluks poseloms
delido ayelo; paseloms nedelido ayelo. Dom gletik

Many children are educated in the schools of America ;
many have been educated and many will be educated. Books
are sold by the merchant, whose store is in 42nd street. These
books are not mine ; they are sold. [Is this patiip ?] What
language is spoken in America ?
The verbs given so far have been in the form which simply
asserts, called the indicativ mood.
The infinitiv mood, or verb-noun, has the ending -on. It
is usually, though not always, preceded in English by to. In
Volapiik it may be in various tenses : patiip, petiip, potiip,
or putiip.
Logon, to see. Elogon, to have seen. Ologon, to be
about to see (as we cannot say to shall). Ulogon, to be about
to have seen.
Liladon binos pofudik, to read is profitable.
Liladam binom pofudik, reading is profitable.
Notice that the neuter-impersonal verb, binos, is used with
the infinitiv as subject.
Vilob liladon buki at, I wish to read this book.
Opofiidos alime eliladon buki at, It will benefit every
one to have read this book.
Kanob liladon, I can read.
The verbs may, can, must (called by some grammarians,
signs of the potential mood), let, dare, etc., have no to after
them in English, yet the verb following them is in the infinitiv.
Mutob piikon, I must speak (I am obliged to speak).
Dalob sagon, I may say (am permitted to say).
Letom puli golon, he lets the boy go ; he allows the boy
to go.
Konsalob olis komon, I advise you to come.
Olemob buki al studon volapiiki, I shall buy a book, to
study Volapiik.
Here "to" means "in order to." In this case the infinitiv
must be preceded by al. To test ( al blufon ") whether al
should be used or not, see if you can change the English
phrase into an equivalent one containing "for, "or if it answers
the question ' ' for what ? "
I shall buy a book (for what ?) to study Volapiik.
Osegolob adelo al spaton, I shall go out to walk (for
walking) to-day.
Eblibob in zif al lemon klotis, I have remained in the
city in order to buy clothes.
No mutobs lifbn al fidon, sod fidon al lifbn, we must
not live to eat, but eat to live.
The English verb-noun in -ing must be translated by the
Fidon zesiidos al lifbn, eating is necessary for living.
The infinitiv, being a kind of verb-noun, may be declined,
tho' this seldom occurs.
Lof studona, the love of studying.
It is permitted to insert the personal pronouns before the
ending -on in order to indicate the subject.
Binobon u nebinobon ! [for me] to be or not to be !
The infinitiv in the passiv voice is formed in the same way,
and is subject to the same rules.
Pamilagon, to be admired.
Pevunon, to have been wounded.
Pomaton, to be about to be married, to be going to be
Lofob fidon fluki. No vilob liladon bukis modik, sod

I like to read good books. I wish to see the stars. To
read is better than to play. We ought to buy a house if we
can buy it cheap. This man can read six languages and speak
three ; he likes to study and he has time to study. It is better
to have loved and lost than not to have loved.
The participle is a verb-adjectiv. Its ending is -61, corres-
and in any tense, tho' the patiip, petiip and potiip are the most
Logol, seeing.
Elogol, having seen.
Ologol, about to see, being about to see.
Palogol, seen, being seen.
Pelogol, seen, having been seen.
Pologol, about to be seen.
It is often necessary to examin English passiv participles
very carefully, to determine what tense they really signify.
The house seen in the distance, dom palogol in fag.
The house built on a rock, dom pebumol su klif.
The house which we see in the distance. The house which
There is another form of the participle, slightly differing
from the future, and having the augment 6 instead of o. Its
which must or ought to be done.
Obinol, that which ought to be.
Pofinol, to be finished.
Poks pomenodol, errors to be corrected.
Poks pomenodol, errors which will be corrected.
O sol pelestimol ! Eliladol vobuki ola nitedik, e no

Honored Sir : Having received your letter and not having
had time to write to you this week, I hope that you will excuse
the unavoidable (not-to-be-avoided) delay.
The ending of the simple imperativ is 6d, following the
Gololod ! Go ! (to one person. )
Gololsod ! Go ! (to more than one person.)
Pafbgivolsod ! Be ye forgiven !
Lit binomod ! Let there be light ! (Be light !)
Senitonod ! Pay attention ! (indefinitely.)
There are two modifications of the imperativ, the courteous
or softened form in -6s and the harsh form in -6z ; called by
some grammarians the optativ and the jussiv. The former
expresses a request and the latter a positiv command.
Give four dollars to this poor boy. Please excuse the
liberty which I take. Please visit us in our new house. Please
answer this letter soon. Kill that snake ! Remain in the
house. Please mail me three copies of your new book. Accept
my cordial salutations. Let each boy take his book and read.

The conditional mood expresses something not as actually
occurring, but as what would be, under a certain supposition.
The conjunctiv is the mood which expresses this supposition,
preceded by if, if.
These two moods are formed by adding to the patiip or
pitiip the endings -6v and -la. The latter is written with a
hyphen and the accent remains on the preceding syllable.
If abinob-la liegik, abinohjcw givik, if I were rich I
would be generous.
Ibinomov givik, if ibinom-la liegik, he would have been
generous if he had been rich.
A form seldom used, but mentioned by Schleyer, has the
ending -ox, and the meaning might possibly.
Pelomox, he might possibly pay.
Alofobov mani at, if abinom-la gudikum. If agolobs-

If I should see the teacher to-day I would give him the book
which he wishes to see. This book would be useful to you if
you should wish to study the French language. If you had
seen this man in the garden he would have spoken to you. If
you should travel in Europe you would hear many languages.
In English we change an assertion into a question by
changing the order of the words,
I have. Have I ?
He will go. Will he go ?
You have seen. Have you seen ?
But we seldom put a verb, unless an auxiliary, before the sub-
ject. We use, instead, the emphatic form with do.
You go. Do you go ? instead of Go you ?
He speaks. Does he speak ?
In Volapiik the sign of the question is the syllable li,
generally placed either before or after the verb and united to it
by a hyphen. The accent of the verb is unchanged. Li
should not be placed after the verb when this would bring two
1's or three consonants together, as li-binoms ? not binoms-
Man binom gudik, Man binom-li gudik ?
Labob, Labob-li ?
Ogoloms, Li-ogoloms ?
Elogols, Li-egolols ?
If the sentence contains an interrogativ word, such as,
who ? which ? what? how ? when ? where? li is unnecessary.
Kim binom man at ? Who is this man?
Man kiom binom at ? What man is this ?
Kipladi man at golom ? Where (whither) is this man
going ?
Kikod ? why ? Kiplad or kiop ? where ? Kipladi ?
where (to what place) ? Kiiip or kitim ? when ? Liko ? how ?
These are interrogativs which do not require -li.
Stadon, to be [in a certain state or condition], to do, as
in " how do you do?"
Liko stadol, o sol ! ? Stadob gudiko, danob ole (or
d^rsis). Li-ebinol lonedo in zif ? No lonedo, ekomob
bietimo de Madrid. Binom-li Madrid zif jonik ?
Binom lejonik; ilofobov blibon us lonedumo. Kiop
lorn olik binom ? Lorn obik binom in Boston, ab labob
flenis modikin zif at. Li-estudol flentapuki ? Estudob
flentapiiki ab no kanob piikon omi gudiko. Li-kapalol
valikosi keli liladol ? Si, o sol ! ti valikosi.
Have you seen my father to-day ? No, sir ; is he not in
the house ? Have you read the newspapers to-day ? I have
not had time to read. How is your father to-day? Thanks ;
he is (stadom) much better. His many friends will have
much pleasure to know it.
When a verb refers to the habitual performance of an
action, this may be indicated by adding the letter i (pronounced
as a separate syllable) to the tense augment. Thus,
ai-, ai-, ei-, ii-, oi-, ui-.
pai-, pai-, pei-, pii-, poi-, pui-.
In English we have no special form for habitual action ;
but, on the other hand, we use the verb to be with the parti-
ciple in -ing to express action continuing temporarily.
Fidob bodi, I am eating bread.
Aifidob bodi, I eat bread (am in the habit of eating bread).
Apenob penedi, I wrote a letter, or I was writing a letter.
Aipenob penedis modik, I used to write many letters.
The form " to be ing" is adopted in Volaplik.
Binob penol, I am writing.
Ai- is also used as a prefix denoting universality with
other words.
Aikel, whoever ; aikitim, whenever ; aikib'p, wherever.
Lio- ? how- ? to what degree ? as lio-gletik ? how large ?
lio-modik? how many?
Aispatob vadelo in gad obik. Li-aigebol spatini ?
No; spatins paigeboms te fa mans baledik; li-tikol das
binob baledik ? No nolob ; binob yunik, ab aispatob

maliidelo. Ven abinobs in Flent, aidlinobs vini, ab nu
ven binobs in Melop aidlinobs vati. Du yels lio-modik
abinols in Flent ? Du yels kil.
Do you drink wine ? I drink wine, but now I am drinking
water. In France they drink [one drinks] wine and not
water. In Belgium they speak the French and the Dutch
languages. What language do they speak in Australia ? They
speak-English [one word]; wherever many Englishmen are,
one speaks English.
[n is the same as the
Vatiikob, I wash. Vatiikobok, I wash myself.
The reflexiv form is the same as the activ voice with the
addition of -ok.
An equivalent expression, sometimes used, is
Vatiikob obi.
Vatiikol, you wash. ^ Vatukolo^. J you wash
Vatiikomok, or vatiikom oki, he washes himself.
(Vatiikom omi would mean he washes him, two different
persons. )
In the plural the s usually follows the ok, but may be made
to precede it, if that form is thought more euphonious.
Vatiikoboks, or vatiikobsok, we wash ourselvs.
Vatiikomoks, they wash themselvs. If the object is exprest
by a separate pronoun in the plural it is translated "each
other." Lofomoks, they love themselvs ; Lofoms okis,
they love each other ; Lofobsok, we love ourselvs ; Lofobs
obis, we love each other.
Dalon, to permit. Muton, must.
Dalon, to have permission (may). Milton, compel.
Logobok in lok at. Pladolokos in stul et. Aikel
lofomok gudikumo ka nileli okik, no binom krit
velatik; ab krits velatik lofoms okis. Aivatiikobok
I have struck myself with this walking stick. I permit
myself to address this letter to you. You will kill yourself.
Please seat yourself and make yourself contented.
(Formerly dalon-dalb'n, mutdn-miitbn, had converse meanings.)
In English we make a distinction between in and into.
Into expresses motion from the outside to the interior ;
while in relates wholly to the interior.
This distinction is exprest in Volapiik either by putting
the noun into the kimifal or by adding -i to the preposition.
Binob in gad, I am in the garden.
GOl goloS fnf gk^ ( ' am ^ S into the garden.
In Volapiik there are other prepositions subject to the same
distinction ; when they denote place, where, they govern the
kimfal ; when they denote direction, wither, they govern the
kimifal or take the ending i.
Buk seistom su tab, the book lies on the table.
Seitom buki su tabi, he lays the book on [on to] the
This distinction is not always necessary nor always observed,
and the list, given in Schleyer's grammar, of prepositions which
may govern the kimifal is incorrect, because based on the
German prepositions.
The ending i is sometimes added to adverbs of place, giving
them the meaning of motion towards.
Binob domo, I am at home.
Kipladi golol ? Where are you going [to]?
Golob domoi, I am going home [ward].
Similarly the ending a is used to denote motion from in a
few words.
Is, isa, isi. Here, hence, hither.
Us, usa, usi. There, thence, thither.
Kiop, ki6pa, kiopi. Where, whence, whither.
It would seem quite as natural and correct to say de is, de
us, de kiop ; al (or all) is, al us, al kiop.
To express duration of time the preposition du is used.
But sometimes the preposition is omitted (as in English) and
then the noun may remain in the kimfal or be put into the
kimifal. Thus there are three forms of expression ; we prefer
to retain the du.

In English we often use one of the common prepositions in
several different meanings, which may not coincide with the
meanings of any one Volapuk preposition. In Volapiik it is
intended that each preposition should have only two meanings,
the literal and the figurativ.
The following list is intended for reference in case of doubt :
It must be remembered also that there are many words in
English which are used sometimes as prepositions, sometimes
as adverbs : to run down the hill ; to tear down the house.
By, the doer, fa ; by, beside, nebii ; by, past, bei ; by, by
means of, dub ; by, each, a ; a del, day by day ; a tel,
two by two.
At, close to, len ; at, in a town, in ; at, o'clock, not trans-
. -j ( In English we use between in speaking of
[ bevii \ two objects, and among of more than two ;
( in Volapuk there is no distinction.
Before, speaking of place, bifii ; speaking of time, blifii.
After, in time, pos ; after, behind, po.
Ago; where we use this adverb of time, for example "two
years ago, " the Volapuk expression is, ' ' before two years. "
Similarly, for ' ' two years hence, " after two years.
Of, belonging to, translated by the kimafal ; of, concerning
(I speak of this subject), do; of, composed of, containing,
originating from, coming from (a glass of water, Schleyer
of Constance), de.
To, the indirect object of a verb, generally meaning in relation
to, translated by the kimefal ; to, denoting progress to a
place, al.
From, departure from, de ; from, on account of, dem or
For, in favor of, in exchange for, plo ; for, instead of, pla ;
for, during (for years), du ; for, on account of dem or
Towards, direction of movement, al ; towards, disposition
towards, kol ; towards, nearly (towards three o'clock), za.
With, in company with, ko ; with, as an instrument, me.
But, except, pla, sesumii ; but, only, te.
Till, until ; jii al, jii in, jii su, jii len, etc.
Without, deprived of, nen ; without, outside of, plo, mofii.
About, surrounding, zi ; about, concerning, do ; about,
approximately, za.
Prepositions derived from nouns end in ii. They are gen-
erally translated by three English words: a preposition, a noun,
another preposition.
Stimii, in honor of. Stim, honor.
Kodii, by reason of. Kod, cause.
Sukii, in consequence of. Suk, following.
Yufii, by aid of. Yuf, aid.
Danii, thanks to. Dan, thank.
Tefii, regarding, concerning. Tef, reference.
Some prepositions are used both with and without the end-
ing ii, as dem or demii.
The ending for interjections is 6. Therefore verbs in the
imperativ simply drop d, and omit personal ending.
Spido ! Make haste !
Stopo! Halt!
Bafo! Bravo!
Since many English words are used both as conjunctions
and as adverbs, we group together the principal difficulties of
both these parts of speech.
But, as a preposition, has been explained. But, as a
conjunction, is ab or sod. Sod is only used after a negativ ;
it is not this, but (on the contrary) that. Even in this case ab
may be used. " Not only but also ," is expressed
by noe soi."
And, e ; before vowels ed is used, though not by all writ-
ers. For ' ' both and - -" a a " is used.
As, like in the same manner as, as ; as, in the capacity of,
as. The verb is generally omitted in the latter case. As,
since, for the reason that, bi.
Before, as a preposition, has been explained. Before, as a
conjunction, is biifo ; look before you leap; before as an
adverb of time, biifumo ; you said that before.
That, as a pronoun, at, atos. That, as a conjunction, has
two meanings expressed by dat and das. Dat means, in
order that, for the purpose that. Das merely introduces a
subordinate sentence as a member of a principal one, as, I said
that he would come. The subordinate sentence "he would
come " introduced by that, is the object ; that shows it to be
Though, conjunction; or although, do. Though, adverb,
nevertheless, deno.
Also, i, or id before vowels.
Nor, ni. "Neither - - nor ," ni ni ."
If, provided, if. If, whether, va.
Even if, ifi.
Until, fill, conjunction, jus ; as a preposition, jii al, jii in,
After, conjunction, na ; preposition, pos; adverb, poso.
Or, u, or ud before vowels. "Either - - or ,"
,,uf- -ud ."
When, conjunction, ven, kii, keliip; when? kiiip ?
kitim ? when, whereupon, e tano.
Where, conjunction, ko, kelop ; where ? kipp ? kiplad ?
Yet, referring to time, nog ; yet, nevertheless, yed.
There, when unemphatic, is frequently untranslatable, as
in the phrases, there is, there are. There is, there are, have
quite a different meaning, there being taking in the sense of

In volapiik pladon ladyeki pos subsat, e kimifali
pos velib.
In English one places the adjectiv before the noun. In
German the accusativ is placed sometimes before the verb.
The exercises have given an idea of the usual order in
which the words in a sentence are placed. Except that the
adjectiv follows, instead of preceding the word which it quali-
fies, this order is about the same as in English.
The general principle is that the word which limits or
describes follows that which is limited or described, or, to use
Prof. Kerckhoffs' expression, the determinant follows the
The predicate or verb follows the subject or kimfal.
The object or kimifal follows the verb, and the kimefal,
being a more remote object, is placed still later.
The kimafal or. possessiv follows the thing possessed. In
English the possessor comes first if it is expressed by the
possessiv case, but if expressed by of\\. comes after.
The adverb follows the verb which it modifies, but if it
modifies an adjectiv then the adverb precedes the adjectiv.
This is an apparent exception to the general rule of position ;
the adverb may, however, be considered as forming a com-
pound word with the adjectiv ; the rule being, in compound
words, the opposit to the rule of position, viz., that the
determinant precedes the determined.
The negativ adverb no precedes the word which it denies,
on the same principle.
Although the regular order of words in a sentence is that
just explained, yet it is not rigorously fixed. For the sake of
emphasis or special effect words may be transposed, provided
the sense be not obscured. The terminations often enable
such transposition to take place without confusion.
Thus, "the man loves the woman," may be expressed in
several ways :
1. Man lofom vomi.
2. Vomi lofom man.
3. Lofom man vomi.
4. Vomi man lofom.
5. Man vomi lofom.
We give these forms because they may occasionally be met
with in reading ; we recommend, however, that the regular
form, No. i, be habitually used.
Form No. 5, where the kimifal precedes the verb, is one
which German writers of Volapiik are fond of using in subor-
dinate sentences, following the order of their own language.
For example, they will say
If man vomi lofom,"
although without the if" they would follow the natural order
man lofom vomi." This is a German idiom and has
nothing to recommend it in Volapiik.
If we examin the English sentence "the man loves the
woman " we see that no transposition can take place without
destroying the sense, because we can only distinguish the
subject from the object by position. If we had a different
ending for the objectiv, like the kimifal, then we might trans-
In this reading exercise the left-hand column contains a
translation from the German, in which the words are, to a great
extent, arranged in the German order, too much so, I think.
The verb is placed at the end of the sentence or clause without
any apparent reason for this position, except that in the German
original it is at the end. In the right-hand column the same
words are re-arranged with correction of some other German-

In English there are certain peculiarities of expression,
which we dc not notice until our attention is called to them
by the study of other languages. It is therefore dangerous to
translate literally into Volapiik unless we first reflect upon the
English phrase and are sure that it means literally and exactly
what it says. It is safest, in regard to Volapiik, as well as
other languages, to frame sentences on the model of those
which have been composed by authors of known correctness.
* In the earlier editions of the grammar oz was given as a permissible plural of os.
Correspondents of different nationalities may be of mutual
assistance in pointing out phrases which are difficult to under-
stand, and requesting a repetition of the idea in different words.
This alteration will itself be a valuable exercise. The various
Volapuk periodicals give from time to time notices of societies
in various cities and towns of Europe. By writing to the
president of one of these societies a correspondent may be
secured, probably interested in the same pursuits as the appli-
A few cautions as to idiomatic expressions are given below :
1. The distinction between the verbs " have, be, do," etc.,
when used as principal verbs and as auxiliaries, must be
carefully watched.
2. In such phrases as " there is, there are," there, as already
stated, is untranslatable. Yet it has a value ; it shows that the
verb to be has its meaning to exist, and that it is not a, mere
copula. For example :
There is a Volapuk society in Constance ;
The Volapuk Society in Constance is famous.
Is in the latter sentence is a copula, attributing the quality
famous to the Society ; in the former sentence the affirmation
is that such a society exists. It is allowed by usage in
Volapuk to mark this distinction by placing the verb before the
subject, as,
1. Binom Volapiikaklub in Konstanz, or
Volapiikaklub sibinom in Konstanz.
2. Volapiikaklub in Konstanz binom famik.
3. Besides the articles a, an, the, we use the words some
and any as a kind of partitiv articles, and these are also omitted
in Volapuk, as they add nothing to the sense.
Have you any money ? ) Li . labol moni ?
or, have you money ? }
I have some money, | L b fe .
or I have money. )
In the negativ we use no or not any.
( No labob moni,
I have no money, j or
or, I have not [any] money. 1 Labob
The simplest ideas are represented by radicals of one
syllable. There are also radicals of two syllables, expressing
somewhat more complex ideas.
The radicals have been taken principally from the following
languages : English, Latin, German and French. More mate-
rial has been taken from the English than from any other
language. The English words are, however, much modified
in adapting them to Volapiik.
1. The spelling is changed, the pronunciation being pre-
served or nearly so.
Jip, sheep. Lof, love.
Kipon, to keep. Giv, give.
Komon, to come. Sin, sin.
Gudik, good.
2. Consonants are dropt or changed when there would be
any difficulty of pronunciation.
Vol, world. Piikon, to speak.
Tat, state. Ted, trade.
Tav, travel. Tif, (thief) stealing.
3. The letter r is specially avoided ; 1 being frequently
substituted. .
Glen, grain. Glet, great.
Bil, beer. Telegaf, telegraph.
Blod, brother. Flen, friend.
4. As radicals seldom begin or end in a vowel the conso-
nants n or 1 are added, or the letters are transposed.
Pel, pay. Lep, ape.
Love-, over-. Nidian, Indian.
Nelijik, English. Nulik, new.
From the radicals other words are formed by compounding,
by prefixing and by suffixing.
In forming compound words the rule of word placing is
exactly reversed, and the determinant precedes the determined.
A compound noun is formed by inserting the vowel a
between the determining word and the principal word.
Vol-a-piik, wqrld-language.
Potamon, postage (post-money).
Piikatidel, language teacher.
Flentapiik, language of France, French language.
Yagadog, hunting dog, hound.
Nulayel, new-year.
The first part of the compound may be considered as the
kimafal, and usually the meaning of the compound may be
expressed by placing it after the principal word either in the
kimafal or in the adjectiv form ; piik vola, mon ,potik,
tidel piikas, piik flentik, dog yagik, yel nulik. But the
meaning of the compound word is more specialized. Piik
vola may mean a language of the world, any language of the
world, while volapiik means a language understood through
the whole world.
In a few compounds instead of a the syllables as, i and o,
are used as connectivs, tho' there seems to be no settled rule.
Vodasbuk, dictionary.
Polivegam, wandering astray.
Sometimes three nouns are compounded together, but care
must be taken not to produce too long words.
Volapiikatidel, universal-language-teacher.
Words formed by prefixing syllables are in reality a kind of
compounds in which the first part is intimately blended with
the second. For example, in glezif, a capital, composed of
prefix gle- -|- noun zif,
great town ;
zif is the principal word and gle- the determinant.
Gle- is a contraction of the adjectiv gletik or of its radical
glet, greatness. Many other prefixes are similarly formed from
nouns and adjectivs.
Sma-, from smalik, small ; smabed, nest (little bed).
Bla-, from blagik, black ; Blafot, the Black Forest.
Vie-, from vietik, white ; viebod, white bread.
Ba-, from bal, one ; bafom, uniformity.
M6-, from modik, many, much ; mopiikik, polyglot ;
moflanik, many-sided.
Si-, from sil, heaven ; prefix of constellations or zodiacal
signs : Sijip, Aries ; Sijutel, Sagittarius ; Sifits, Pisces.
Nolii-, Sulii-, Lefu-, Vesu-, from Noliid, Sulud,
Lefiid, Vesiid, North, South, East, West ;
Noliimelop, North America; Vesiinidan, West
Ba-, from bapik, low, and va-, from valik, all, with a
change of vowel.
Other prefixes are simple prepositions, and most of them
can be so used.
Bevii, between, inter- ; beviinetik, international.
Bif, before (in place), contracted to bi-, pre- ; bisiedon,
to preside.
De, from; de-, ab-, off-, away; defal, falling off;
defiledon, to burn off; deyulon, to abjure.
Ko-, ke- ; with ; com-, con-, syn- ; kokom, coming to-
gether; kelied, compassion; kevobel, colaborer;
kezenodon, to concentrate.
Len-, towards, ad- ; lenpiik, address ; lensumon, to
assume, take to one's-self.
Love-, over, super- ; lovedugon, to lead over ;
lovelogon, to overlook ; lovepenad, superscription,
something written over ; lovepolam, translation,
There are also prefix-syllables which never occur separately
and are not contractions of other words. The following are
the most important of these inseparable prefixes :
Ne-, negativ, or contrary ; un-, in-, dis-, non-, -less ;
neflen, enemy (unfriend); nelab, want (opposit of lab,
possession); det, right [hand]; nedet, left; nedanik,
ungrateful ; nebin, non-existence.
Le- ; intensiv ; very, highly, chief, arch- ; legudik, very
good; legletik, very great; lebijop, archbishop;
lezif, large city (glezif is a capital). Gle- indicates
the highest or most important of its kind.
Lu-, small, insignificant, bad or contemptible. This prefix
is frequently used where in English we use different
words. Beg, a request, lubegel, a beggar, mendicant;
lufat, a step-father ; lak, a lake, lulak, a pond ; sanel,
a physician, lusanel, a quack ; solel, a ruler, lusolel,
a tyrant ; vomik, feminin, luvomik, effeminate.
(See suffix -il for a list of augmentativs and diminutivs.)
Ge-, back, re- ; gepiik, reply ; gekipon, to keep back.
Be- is said to strengthen the meaning of the radical ; it
frequently means to cause or confer the thing expressed
by the radical.
Da- denotes the completion of an action or the attainment
of an object.
Some suffixeo are formed by cutting off the beginnings of
From mul, month, -ul as a termination for the names of
months. There are two sets of names for the months:
one derived from the numerals, the other from the
Roman names,
January, balul or yanul.
February, telul or febul.
March, kilul or mazul.
April, folul or apul.
May, lulul or mayul.
June, malul or yunul.
July, velul or yulul.
August, jolul or gustul.
September, ziilul or setul.
October, balsul or otul.
November, babul or novul.
December, batul or dekul.
From Ian, country, -an as a termination for names of
countries or states.
Cinan, China. Bayan, Bavaria. Lusan, Russia.
From dup, hour, -up as a termination for a portion of time.
Tidiip, a lesson (teaching time).
Kiiip ? when ? at what time ?
Patiip, the present tense.
Yeliip, the course of a year.
From top, place,
(1) -op, for the divisions of the earth.
Yulop, Europe. Silop, Asia.
Fikop, Africa. Melop, America.
Talop, Australia.
(2) -op, for a place.
Kiop ? where ?
Maladop, a hospital.
The following endings have no meaning, except in composition:
-el, -er ; one who does, a person.
Mekel, a maker, from mekon, to make.
Datuvel, discoverer, from datuv, discovering.
Tidel, teacher.
This ending occurs very frequently. It denotes also an in-
habitant of a country.
Melopel, an American. Nelijel, Englishman.
Deutel, a German. Flentel, Frenchman.
-al and -an also refer to persons. Al implies dignity or
-ef is a collection of persons ; -em, of things.
-en is an establishment for a trade (-ery).
-af, names of animals ; -it, of birds ; -in, of substances.
-ip, diseases ; -6m, apparatus ; -av, sciences.
-al, -am, -of, abstract nouns ; al, character ; -am, action ;
-of, quality, or state.
-il, diminutiv ; -et, -kin, -ling ; domil, a little house ;
ganil, gosling.
The following illustration shows the various gradations of
diminutiv and augmentativ words in Volapiik :
luzifil, wretched little town,
smazifil, little hamlet,
zifil, little town,
luzif, wretched town,
smazif, village,
zif, town,
lulezif, big ugly city,
lezif, city,
glezif, important city or capital.
luglezif, miserable great city,
leglezif, metropolis.
The endings -ik, -el, -am, are the most common, and
almost every radical may assume them. In our vocabulary
we frequently give the radical only or one of these derivativs,
leaving the others to be inferred.
From any radical denoting a quality may be formed, by
adding ik, an adjectiv attributing that quality, as gud, good-
ness, gudik, good ; jap, sharpness, japik, sharp. Thus
dropping ness is equivalent to adding ik, or vice versa. In this
case we usually give the adjectiv only, leaving the student to
drop the ik and add the ness; or we give the noun only, leaving
him to drop the ness and add the ik.
Every root has, or may have, an adjectiv form in ik, but
there is not always a corresponding English adjectiv. Many
adjectivs are entirely lacking in English. We have no such
word, for example, as " to-daily," and we use the possessiv,
"to-day's newspaper;" but in Volapiik, gased adelik." We
have "golden" derived from "gold," but have no adjectiv
derived from "iron." But in Volapiik ,,goludik, lelik,
silefik," are regularly formed from goliid, lei, silef," and
in translating from English we must be careful to distinguish ;
in phrases like "silver watch," treating "silver" as an adjectiv ;
., glok silefik." Whole phrases are also rendered by an
adjectiv in ik or an adverb in iko ; the adjectiv being used if
the phrase qualifies a noun, the adverb, if it qualifies a verb.
Many words are used both as nouns and as verbs in
Volapiik and in English. Thus we speak of a name and to
name, nem and nemon ; a reward and to reward, mesed and
mesedon. In this case we add the syllable -on as an indica-
tion that the same words are used as nouns and as verbs. But
if -on or -ik be enclosed in parenthesis we mean that a slight
but obvious change is made in passing from one English part
of speech to another.
Any verb may form a noun in am, which expresses the
ac//'0 of the verb, like our words in -tion ; for example,
plepalon, to prepare, plepalam, preparation.
Almost any verb may form a noun in el, which expresses
the doer of the action, as plepalel, a preparer ; studon, to
study, studel, a student.

Persons familiar with other languages, and hence accus-

of Volapiik by following this analysis even before they have at

Beginning with the first sentence, we look for the verb.
When we come to asiedom, we know it to be a verb because
it has a tense-vowel a as a prefix (of the series a, a, e, i, o, u),
and a person-ending om (of the series -ob, -ol, -om, -of, -os,
-on). As om means he, we know that the verb is in the third
person singular ; as a means " imperfect tense" we know that
' ' he " did something. What he did is to be found out by
removing the prefix and the ending which leaves the root sied.
Looking in the vocabulary we find that sied, as a noun, means
a seat, and the verb siedon, to sit. Therefore asiedom must
express, of someone, "he sat." Who sat? As Abraham"
precedes the verb and is in the kimfal, it answers the question,
Kim asiedom?" "Who sat?" Asiedom alone would
have meant "he sat," but we omit the "he" in English when
the subject is expressed; therefore,
Abraham asiedom = Abraham sat.
When the kimfal and the verb are known, the rest of the
sentence must fall into place to modify these. Vono is,
judging by the ending o, an adverb, and as it follows
asiedom it probably is used to modify that verb. Looking
in the vocabulary we find it means, "once, formerly."
" Once," that is, not as distinguished from " twice," but " once
upon a time. " We now have, in the English order,
Abraham asiedom vono = Abraham once sat.
As len does not show by its form what part of speech it is
we must look it up, and we find it to be a preposition meaning
"at." The word following it, yan, we find to be a noun ;
as it is in the kimfal (not ending in a vowel) and follows the
preposition, it is evident that len yan meant either "at a
door" or "at the door;" which of these it will be cannot yet
be determined.
Immediately after yan is a word teneda. From its ending
in a we know that it is in the kimafal, and answers the question
"whose?" "whose door?" As tened means tent, yan
teneda " must mean " tent's door," or rather "door of tent,"
for we seldom use 's in English except in speaking of living
Len yan teneda = at door of tent.
In English we should conventionally expand this into one of
the following forms :
at the door of the tent ;
at the door of a tent ;
at a door of the tent;
at a door of a tent.
But these articles do not add anything whatever to the
meaning. If an artist were to paint four pictures of Abraham,
(1) sitting at the door of the tent,
(2) sitting at the door of a tent,
(3) sitting at a door of the tent,
(4) sitting at a door of a tent,
all four views would be alike, and each would be precisely the
same as if he had received the briefer description, "at door
of tent," or "at tent door."
j, Oma " is another kimafal, and as it immediately follows
teneda it must answer the question " whose tent ?" Its root,
om, we recognise as meaning he ; therefore oma means "his "
and refers to teneda. So that we now have the full meaning
of the first clause : "Abraham once sat at the door of his
The next word valadol must be a participle as it ends in
-61, which is like our "-ing." Valad we find in the vocabu-
lary to mean awaiting ; valadon, to wait for, to await, to
attend. Therefore valadol must mean either " waiting for, "
"awaiting," or "attending."
Now he who awaits or attends must await something or
some one ; that is, valadon is the kind of verb which is called
transitiv ; it may have an object. This object must be in the
kimifal ; that is, must end in i or is. Looking further along
we find such a word, foginelis. The s tells us it is plural.
The i that it is in the objectiv or kimifal. This leaves us
foginel. The ending el refers to a person, and often corre-
sponds to er in English. We find fogin to mean "a foreign
country," for which there is no one word in English. Foginel
means a foreigner, stranger, one from a distant country.
The words valadol foginelis" mean "awaiting
strangers." The three words segun kosom omik, as they
come just after valadol, must modify or explain its meaning.
Segun is found to be a preposition meaning "according
to," and kosom, a noun in the kimfal, "custom ;" segun
kosom" must be "according to custom." The ending -ik
tells us that omik is an adjectiv ; as adjectivs always follow
the words they qualify, it must describe kosom. We know
that ,,om" is "he," and that ,,-ik" is " pertaining to ;"
omik " is "his." This is another form, equivalent to
oma ; when the possessor is one of the pronouns ob, ol, om,
of, OS, on, it may be put in either the adjectiv form or the
kimafal ; may end either in ik or in a.
Segun kosom omik = according to his custom.
Valadol, segun kosom omik, ] j awaiting strangers, ac-
foginelis j" j cording to his custom.
We cannot in English place the phrase "according to -his
custom " where it naturally belongs. The reason for this is
that we have no separate form for the objectiv, and therefore
ieel a necessity for placing it as close as possible to the verb so
that it may be felt as the object. "Awaiting, according to his
custom, strangers," would sound awkward.
Al lotadon omis. The ending -on indicates the infinitiv,
and we have seen that al before the infinitiv gives it the mean-
ing "in order to ;" altho' "in order" need not be expressed.
If we look up lotad we find that it means hospitality ; but we
have in English no verb " to hospitate." We are obliged to
use some such phrase as "to give hospitality to," " to receive
hospitably." Omis is the same word ,,om" which we have
already met several times. This time it is in the kimifal, plural,
like foginelis, which, in fact, it replaces.
Al lotadon omis = to offer them hospitality.
This completes the first sentence.
We begin the second by searching as before for a verb,
which we may expect to find marked by its tense- vowel at the
beginning and its person-ending. We have not far to seek, as
adalogom has the marks. We see at once that (as in asiedom)
the framework is he did something. Dalogon is to perceive,
hence adalogom is he perceived. The subject not being
expressed the he must stand in its stead.
Dalog-6n is not a simple word. Da is a prefix, and log
is the real root. Log, as a noun, means eye ; log-on, the
verb, is to see. Da, as a prefix, denotes the completion of an
action or the attainment of the object sought.
adalogom, being a transitiv verb, should have an object,
in the kimifal, of course. We readily find this object in the
next word baledani. This we find to mean " old-man ;" but
even if baledan were omitted from the vocabulary we could
discover its meaning from the root baled, age, and the ending
an (an echo of man), which is applied to persons.
adalogom baledani = he perceived an old man.
Blegol is recognised as a participle qualifying baledani,
which it follows. Blegon is found to mean to bend. Oki is
the reflexiv pronoun ok, -self in the kimifal. Therefore blegol
oki is bending himself. It might be expressed in one word,
blegolok. Su staf is readily found to mean on a staff. Tak-
ing the phrase together we may translate it "leaning on a
staff." E, and. Komol is another participle, from komon,
to come. Al omi, to him ; omi is in the kimifal because al
denotes motion toward him. This is not indispensable, for al
om would express the same idea. Al, of itself, conveys the
idea of direction ; so that there is not the same useful distinc-
tion as between in and into.
In the next sentence, seeking first the verb, we recognise it
in ifenoms by the personal ending oms, they, and the tense-
prefix i. I we find in the series a, a, e. i, o, u (present,
imperfect, perfect, pluperfect, future, future perfect); its English
equivalent is "had;" oms is third person, plural, they;
therefore we have only to look for the meaning of fen to know
what "they had " done. Fen being to weary, ifenoms must
be they had wearied. We now look back for the subject
which must be plural. Tobs has the plural-sign and is in the
Tobs ifenoms = troubles had wearied.
But we cannot positivly decide upon this until we examin
the words which precede tobs, for according to the rules of
position the subject must be at the beginning of the sentence.
Much depends upon the particle e, for if this is a preposition,
tobs, tho' in the kimfal, cannot be the subject. E proves,
however, to be the conjunction and, and baled, the noun, age.
Baled e tobs, age and troubles, form a compound subject to
ifenoms. The object omi is at once recognised by its ending.
Baled e tobs ifenoms omi. } = { *^^ bles had
The ending oms is masculine, but is used here where in
English we should expect the neuter. //, as well as he, is
represented by om.
The next sentence presents nothing of difficulty ; subject,
verb (in the third person, singular, imperfect), object, adverb.
Fleno, in a friendly manner, requires four words in English
because we do not say friendli-ly. Fleniko would have about
the same meaning ; the adverb may be formed from the adjec-
tiv or directly from the noun.
Abraham alasumom omi j j Abraham received him in
fleno. j (a friendly manner.
abegom omi is familiar. Siadonok : ok is the reflexiv
ending, meaning myself, yourself, himself, etc. , as the case may
be ; -on is the infinitiv-ending already mentioned ; siadon is
to seat. Siedon, to sit, is intransitiv ; siadon, to seat, is tfansi-
tiv. Siadonok is here translated to seat /fo'toself, on account
of omi.
abegom omi siadonok = requested him to seat himself.
And the next clause presents nothing new :
avatiikom futis oma = washed his feet.
Ed is the same as e, used before a vowel. If e were used
here there would be no misunderstanding ; and some writers
refuse to change e into ed on the ground that there should be
no variation of form where there is no difference in sense.
Flifik is an adjectiv since it ends in ik ; it qualifies vati, for it
immediately follows that word. In English we say "fresh
water/' in Volapiik the order is "water fresh."
Ed ablinom flukis | j and brought fruits
e vati flifik } { and fresh water.
The first verbal form which we find in the next sentence is
logol, which we already know to mean ' ' seeing. " Das we
find to be the conjunction that, therefore the following words,
baledan," etc. , must be a subordinate sentence, which we
may take up firsc and translate as if it were standing alone,
Baledan afidom ed adlinom nes sagon pleki.
Proceeding in the usual manner to look for the verb, we
find afidom ; but \ve also find the verb adlinom and the
conjunction e or ed connecting them. E (or ed) like and in
English, connects two similar words or phrases as two subjects
(baled e tobs for example), two predicates, as in this instance,
two objects (for example flukis e vati flifik), two adverbs, two
subordinate sentences. Looking for the roots, fid and dlin,
we find that afidom ed adlinom means, by itself, he ate and
drank. The subject baledan is a word with which we are
familiar. On its former occurrence we translated it "an old
man," but now, as he has been previously mentioned, we use
the article "the " "the old man ate and drank."
The following clause nes sagon pleki," we may presume
to modify the verbs as it follows them. We confirm this by
finding that nes is a preposition, meaning "without." Nen
also' means without, but nes is used before infinitivs. Nen,
however, would be perfectly understood, and may be used
without confusion. After a preposition we use in English the
form in -ing ; nes sagon = without saying. The ending -i
shows that pleki is the object of the verb sagon. Nes sagon
pleki = without saying a prayer.
Ab logol das baledan afidom } C But seeing that the old
ed adlinom nes sagon > = -J man ate and drank with-
pleki ) ( out saying a prayer
This participial clause is placed at the beginning of the
sentence because it qualifies the subject, which is the -om in
asakom, he asked. Ome is another form of om, the kimefal
or indirect object. In English the person of whom anything
is asked is put in the objectiv, but in Volapuk the thing asked
is considered as the direct object; "he asked [to] him."
This is indicated in the vocabulary by [bosi eke]; sakon [bosi
eke], to ask any one anything ; that is, the thing asked is in
the kimifal, and the person asked in the kimefal.
The words following this constitute the question which was
asked, in the exact words Abraham would use, except that
Abraham would have changed one letter,
Kikod no aleplekol Godi siila ?
asakom ome, kikod no aleplekom Godi siila.
Kikod is found to be an interrogativ adverb, "why?"
derived from kod, cause ; "what cause?" In the same way
are formed, kiplad? "what place?" for where? and kitim ?
" what time ?" for when? This being the connecting word,
we next take up the sentence in the usual order, beginning with
the verb aleplekom, which is the same form as asiedom and
several other verbs given. Leplekon is to worship, being
derived from plekon, to pray, with the intensiv prefix le. No
is the negativ particle not ; it is so closely connected with the
verb which it modifies, or rather reverses, that it is placed
before like a prefix rather than after as a modifier. No
aleplekom, he did not worship. What is the object in this
sentence ? Godi/because it ends in i. No aleplekom Godi
= he did not worship God. What is siila ? A noun 'in the
kimafal or "whose" case, answering the question whose?
of whom ? or of what ? God of what ? God of heaven.
Here we insert in English a "the" before " God," though it
would seem more reasonable to say "God of the heaven " than
"the God of heaven."
asakom ome, kikod no ) (He asked him why he did not
aleplekom Godi siila. j { worship the God of heaven.
In the next sentence it is at once seen that Baledan is the
subject and agepiikom the verb ; that the old man did some-
thing denoted by gepiik, which is found to mean reply. The
old man replied what ? There are two subordinate sentences,
each beginning with das, that ; these two sentences are con-
nected by e, and. We may analyse them separately.
i. aleplekom te Fill.
What is the verb ? aleplekom, he worshiped. What is
its subject ? He, expressed by om in the termination. What
is its object ? Fill, because it ends in i. aleplekom Fili =
he worshiped Fire. Te, like all words of two letters, is a
particle of some kind. It is found to be the adverb only. It
precedes the word to which it refers.
aleplekom te Fill = he worshiped only Fire (Fire alone).
2. No asevom godi votik.
What is the verb ? asevom, he did something ; he
knew ; no asevom, he did not know. Votik must be an
adjectiv from its ending ; other, another.
No asevom godi votik I = j he did no < know wo** god ;
) ( or, he knew no other god.
The two replies of the old man can now be translated.
We have now had all the cases exemplified in the forms of
Om, he ; oma, his (of him); ome, to him; omi, him ;
and we can complete the plural :
Oms, they; omas, their (of them); omes, to them;
omis, them.
The next sentence will now be easily understood upon
ascertaining the meanings of the separate words.
The phrase Ven at igolom," although it comes first,
really modifies avokom. The reason for placing it out of the
usual order is to place it in the order of time, as will be seen.
Ven is a conjunction, "when." What is the verb ? Igolom,
and it is in the pluperfect tense, third person, singular, mascu-
Hn ; " he had , " is the English formula. Golon, to go ;
therefore igolom = he had gone. What is the subject ? At
means this, and refers to baledan, understood. In English it
is not customary to use this without its noun (when masculin),
hence we say ' ' the latter. "
Ven at igolom = when the latter had gone or was gone.
Observe that "was gone" is not a passiv, altho* it looks
like one. The auxilliary "am" does not always denote the
passiv voice, and the meaning must be followed, not the
God avokom Abraham! " will be understood upon
finding the meaning of vokon, to call ; ed asakom ome, this
is all familiar. Kiop is the connecting word, an interrogativ
adverb, where ?
agesagom, he answered ; this is a synonym of agepiikom.
Both are formed by prefixing the syllable ge-, which means
back, re- ; to re-say, to re-speak. The exact words of Abra-
ham's reply are given, in quotation marks. What is the verb ?
ejokob ; it is in the perfect tense and first person, singular; " I
have" done something. " I have thrust." What is the sub-
ject ? Ob, I ; in the termination of the verb. What is the
object? Omi, him ; ending in i. Mofii is a preposition;
any word ending in ii is a preposition. Mofii tened, outside-
of the-tent. Bi, because, is a conjunction introducing the
subordinate sentence no leplekom oli," which should now
be analysed. What is its verb ? Leplekom, present tense,
third person, singular, masculin ; tells what he does or with no
what he does not. No leplekom, he does not worship. W T hat
is the object? Oli (ob-ol-om-of-os-on), thee.
agesagom : ejokob omi \ ( He answered : ' ' I have thrust
mofu tened, bi no r = s him outside the tent because
leplekom oli." ) (he does not worship thee."
God asagom tano ome, God said then to him ; or, God
then said to him.
Esufob omi du yels turn.
What is the verb ? Esufob, perfect tense, first person,
singular ; tells what / have done. I have endured. What is
the object ? Omi, him. Du, is a preposition, during. Yels
is the plural of yel, a year. The numeral turn is placed after
its noun.
Esufob omi du yels turn = l ^ ** *
Do is a conjunction, connecting the clause anestimom
obi with the main sentence, as above.
Do anestimom obi = Though he contemned me.
In the clause beginning with ed ol " the particle -li, as
well as the interrogation point, shows that a question is asked.
First translate the clause as if an assertion, disregarding -li,
then change it to a question.
What is the verb ? akanol, imperfect, second person,
singular, Thou couldst. What is the subject? Ol, expressed
separately as well as in the termination, making it more
Ed ol no-li akanol sufbn omi, and couldst not thou
endure him,
du neit bal, during one night,
ven no atupom oli ? when he did not
trouble thee ?
In the next sentence, Na is the conjunction, and the clause
introduced by it is placed at the first of the sentence for the
same reason as the clause, Ven at igolom. Vodis at, these
words ; at is here an adjectiv pronoun. There are, in this
sentence not two, but three, clauses connected by ed ; they
begin with the verbs agevokom, alinkipom and agivom.
The last of these clauses agivom ome tidamis sapik " has
two objects : tidamis, the direct object or kimifal, and ome,
the indirect object or kimefal. The order would be more
strictly logical and regular if ome were placed last. This,
however, creates no difficulty in understanding.
Dunolod id also.
What is the verb ? Dunolod. It is imperativ because it
ends in 6d ; it is second person, singular, shown by ol ; the
absence of prefix shows it to be present tense. The root dun
means to do ; therefore its translation is, do thou ! or simply,
do ! The other words are merely adverbs.
Dunolod id also ! = do thou also thus !
Pomesedol fa God Abrahama.
The verb is pomesedol. P shows it to be passiv ; o
shows it to be future ; po = shall be ed ; ol, shows it to
be second person, singular, thou shalt be ed. Mesed, is
reward ; pomesedol, thou shalt be rewarded.
These sentences have introduced all the cases, both num-
bers, all the persons, all the tenses, except the future-perfect.
both voices, and the reflexiv, interrogativ, imperativ, infinitiv,
and participial forms. Almost all the rules of inflexion and
construction have been exemplified.
The following, then, is an outline of the usual course to be
followed in translating a sentence :
1. What is the VERB, or predicate? It is recognised by
its having a person-ending, which will be one of the syllables
cb, ol, om, of, os, on. If there be more than one verb found
disregard all subordinate clauses, connected by conjunctions,
and seek the principal verb.
2. What is the tense ? What is the person, the number,
the gender? These are determined by the syllables at the
beginning and end, and from them may be formed a skeleton
or framework, which is completed by finding and inserting the
meaning of the radical.
3. What is the SUBJECT? Perhaps it is implied in the
person-ending and not otherwise expressed. If it be expressed
it must be in the kimfal. Then read these two words together
as the foundation of the sentence : subject, verb.
4. Is there an OBJECT? If so it must be in the kimifal ;
and you now have : kimfal, verb, kimifal.
5. Is there a more remote or INDIRECT OBJECT? If
so it is in the kimefal, and completes the four principal parts :
Kimfal VERB kimifal kimefal
Each of these four principal words may be followed by
determinants, words or phrases limiting or modifying its mean-
ing, and these are last taken up and translated.

Volaptik words are printed in heavy type.
Words which have the same spelling and the same meaning, both in
Volapllk and in English, are printed in ITALIC CAPITALS.
Words ot the same meaning which happen to be next each other in the
alphabetical arrangement are bracketed I
Many derivativs, formed by adding syllables, are placed under the
radical, and abbreviated by dropping the radical. See remarks on page 46.
When an English word is defined by several Volapuk words the
distinction between these must be found by looking them up in succession.

A Practical Journal for
THIS periodical, the only one of its kind, is now in its fourth
volume, and enjoys a remarkable success in its special field,
which it announces as comprehending "everything that facilitates
business or contributes to its record." Appreciating the immense
facilitation which will be attained by the introduction into the
counting-room of a language expressly adapted to intercourse
with foreign nations, and believing that a knowledge of it will be
considered a necessary part of the accomplished office-man's
equipment, the management of THE OFFICE has established a
department devoted to Volapiik, and entitled
' This department is conducted by the Author of the Hand-book.
It serves as a medium of communication for students and profi-
cients in the International Language ; gives them all the interest-
ing news of the movement ; publishes reading-matter, correspond-
ence, queries and solutions. In the number for December, 1887,
there was begun a new course of instruction, entitled
With special reference to Commercial Correspondence.
These lessons are written in a familiar and easy style, giving
thorough arid careful explanation at every step. The teachings
of the Hand-book will be re-enforced and supplemented by an
entirely different form of presentation. As a training in English,
the lessons will be of great value to those who have not given
much attention to language-study.
This department of THE OFFICE will embrace any and all other
features which may be found of value.
THE OFFICE is published monthly at $i a year in advance.

0.020533 | <urn:uuid:f5918a31-4300-4d51-bce9-127ba5eb7d92> | en | 0.970593 | The Gareth Barry transfer saga was the longest running saga of last year. Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid came and eventually went while the questions over Barry's future remained.
He wanted to be playing Champions League football. Martin O'Neill, obviously, wanted to keep the Villa skipper and talisman.
I breathed a huge sigh of relief when the transfer window closed for two reasons; a) the saga was over and b) Liverpool had kept Xabi Alonso.
This summer, however, it is a totally different story. The Barry transfer saga will quite possibly be the shortest one of the summer, because it is already over.
The England midfielder—away on international duty at the moment—has agreed to join Manchester City for £12 million.
Yes, that's right, Manchester City. The team that finished 10th last season, four places below Aston Villa.
So why, if he only wanted to leave Villa to play Champions League football, has he joined a team with no European football next season whatsoever?
Manchester City have the potential to get into the Champions League in the coming season, simply because of the amount of money they have.
But why join a team with the potential to win a Champions League place when you know Rafael Benitez, manager of regular Champions League semi-finalists Liverpool, is interested in you?
And that's what it all boils down to. Money.
Can we really blame Gareth Barry for moving? It's all good to sit there and say he should've stayed loyal, but if someone offered you considerably more money than you are currently earning, and the prospect of doing it alongside some of the world's best footballers, would you do it?
I know I would.
But that won't stop many Villa fans feeling betrayed by Barry's actions. He went against his word and joined a team not in the Champions League.
They will feel as if Barry's actions show that money means more to him than Aston Villa does.
But his career at the Midlands club should be applauded. For 12 years he played there—his entire career thus far—making over 400 appearances for the club.
This transfer may stain his record, but he was very loyal to Villa.
After 12 years of trying to make it the hard way with them, however, he has now opted to try and make it the "easy" way with City, who will throw cash at the club until they buy a Champions League spot.
But does that work?
Certainly, last season it didn't. Man City broke the British transfer record with their signing of Robinho and still only just managed a top-half finish.
And will the top players want to go to City? We all saw the Kaka saga in January, but even the preposterous figures being thrown about then couldn't entice Kaka away from a top club to a mid-table club.
Some players may not be as loyal as Kaka, but if City want the very best players, then money may not be a huge issue. After all, the very best will already be getting paid a lot.
The stature of the club in question will then come into account, and, while Man City have the potential to challenge for a Champions League spot, why would the best players choose that ahead of a guaranteed Champions League spot?
It is obvious that Gareth Barry has moved to City for two main reasons; a) the money and b) he thinks they will get a Champions League place before Villa will.
But that will only happen if City make some more big signings.
If you ask me, Barry made the wrong decision.
Instead, he should have either gone to an already established Champions League club if that is what he truly wanted, or stayed with Villa and tried to lead them to another charge for fourth place.
After all, they were closer than City last year, and could well be again this coming season.
We'll just have to wait and see whether Barry's quest for Champions League football will be fulfilled.

1 of 17
Here are some of the premiership's most memorable disasters/flops from 1992 - 2002 such as Taibi, Borgarde, Brolin, and countless others. I will also do another one at a short time from 2002 to this day if you guys like it. So let me know what you think of it as i look forward to hearing what ye have to say.
Massimo Taibi
United thought they had found Peter Schmeichel’s replacement when they splashed out £4.5 million for keeper Taibi. A mere four appearances and 11 goals conceded later (including a five-nil defeat to Chelsea) they decided that actually they hadn’t and his Old Trafford career was over.
William Prunier
Prunier, a French centre-back who looked a bit like Jaap Stam (but played nothing like him), was one of Alex Ferguson's worst ever signings. He looked pretty good on his Man U debut, against QPR, but had an absolute shocker in his next game in a red shirt, a 4-1 defeat to Spurs.
That was the last time he pulled on a red shirt for United
Marcelino, a Spain international centre-back who cost Newcastle £6.7m from Mallorca in 1999, picked up every injury known to man—and a few more besides—in his time at St James' Park. He played just 20 games in three years before being released.
Francois Grenet
Signed for £3m from Bordeaux in November 2001, Grenet arrived in time to hear Colin Todd comparing him to Lilian Thuram. He turned out to be so bad that most Derby fans consider his finest moment being sent off in the 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa, meaning they would have to endure his woeful display no longer.
Winston Bogarde
Although reportedly signed on a free his exorbitant wages ensured he was a costly buy who chose to sit out his four-year contract despite being informed weeks after signing his contract with the club, the newly-appointed manager Claudio Ranieri wanted him to leave.
According to Bogarde it would be next to impossible to find a team that would offer him a contract comparable to the one he had at Chelsea. He later retired in 2005.
Marco Materazzi
Marco Materazzi joined Everton from Perugia in 1998-99. Materazzi's stay in the Premiership was brief and not so glorious after he became Walter Smith's first signing for Everton from Perugia in the summer of 1998.
Materazzi's most famous moment at Everton was when he was sent off against Coventry after he was the victim of a Darren Huckerby dive. In that single season Materazzi managed to clock up three red cards and 12 yellows. He rejoined Perugia in the summer of 1999.
Tomas Brolin
Leeds United manager George Graham paid Parma £4.5m for Brolin in 1995. The baby-faced Swede turned up at Elland Road looking just a wee bit out of shape. Brolin made just 19 appearances in two years for Leeds before Graham got rid of him.
He then returned to England for a final Premiership fling at Crystal Palace in 1998, but, after 13 appearances, was deemed too fat to play, and was made assistant manager to Attilio Lombardo. Palace were later relegated.
Ali Dia
He slipped into English football under the watchful eye of Graeme Souness after Souness received a call from “George Weah” saying that Dia was his cousin.
Souness, who apparently doesn’t believe in watching a player train, gave Dia a one-month contract. After coming on as a sub in his first match, he was subbed after 20 minutes and kicked out of the club after two weeks.
From Southampton, he joined non-league Gateshead, where he was transfer-listed in February 1997. He hasn't been heard of since. Widely considered to be the worst player to ever play in the Premier League.
Andrea Silenzi
Half way through his first season, he had lost his place to Jason Lee, was loaned to Venezia, and when told to return by Dave Bassett, he refused. Forest tore up his contract—meaning the whole deal, including wages and bonuses, had cost the club £2.75m.
Marco Boogers
'Mad' Marco Boogers arrived from Sparta Rotterdam for £1m in July 1995. Coming on as a substitute against Manchester United in only his second appearance for the club, Boogers red-carded for an evil tackle on Gary Neville, then promptly disappeared...only to be found weeks later in a mobile home in a Dutch caravan park.
'I'm not mental,' claimed Boogers as he was led away from Upton Park on a free transfer to Groningen. "I signed Boogers off a video," said the West Ham manager Harry Redknapp. "He was a good player but a nutter."
Bosko Balaban
Left Dinamo Zagreb where he was the league’s highest scorer to join Aston Villa for £5.8 pounds. He played nine games in all (seven as a substitute) and didn’t succeed in scoring a single goal.
He was given a £1m pay-off when he left in 2004, announcing that "Villa is all bullshit." John Gregory thought Balaban was the last piece of the jigsaw. He might well have been, but it was a completely different puzzle.
Francis Jeffers
Signed as Arsene Wenger’s “fox in the box”, scored four goals in four seasons. He was sold as a donkey in the box at a loss of £5.4m. He is currently playing with Sheffield Wednesday.
Sean Dundee
Sean 'Crocodile' Dundee is regularly cited by Liverpool fans as the worst player in the club's history. He arrived at Anfield with a reputation as a fast, powerful goalscorer.
Dundee had publicly declared in a newspaper interview that he was 'as fast as Michael Owen.' Liverpool fans would soon find out that this was not to be the case when he was overhauled during a game against Leicester by the less-than-speedy Frank Sinclair, the writing was on the wall.
Dundee, who had a reputation as a bit of a party animal, made just three substitute appearances for Liverpool before he was sold on.
Faustino Asprillia
The Colombian eventually became better known for his athletic goal celebrations than his ball skills. However, his main contribution to the Newcastle side was to completely spoil their 1996 title challenge with a surly, disinterested demeanour that ruined team morale and left Kevin Keegan emotionally shattered.
Sergei Rebrov
The player who formed an outstanding attacking partnership with Andriy Shevchenko at Dynamo Kiev lost his way after the sacking of George Graham in March 2001, he was frozen out by Glenn Hoddle.
He went out on two consecutive loans to Fenerbahçe and later signed for West Ham.

If you are a Christian and believe in Jesus Christ you also believe in the Holy Spirit. And you know that the Holy Spirit brings us seven gifts. The gifts of wisdom, understanding, right judgment, knowledge, fortitude, piety, and fear of the lord.
If you look at pro wrestling, you can see all of those gifts in there. In what superstars you may ask? Well you are about to find out.
When it comes to wisdom look no further than the Rated R Superstar, Edge.Edge is the ultimate oppurtunist. He knows when to strike. He knows when to take advantage of the situation. He definately represents wisdom.
Who else is smart enough to marry the Smackdown (former) general manager, Vickie Guerrero and have her take his career to a whole different level?
I should also point out how smart he is in picking women. Lita, Eve(in the photo), Vick...well not when it comes to her looks because who really wants that fat body in your bed(Escobar we are looking at you)?
Point is Edge has a lot of wisdom when it comes down to it. An opportunist, he sleeps with the right people, creates different meanings for the "R" in Rated R. He does it too well.
Matt Hardy is definitely understanding when it comes to Pro Wrestling. The dude understands that he is not Jeff. He understands that he isn't gonna be pushed because Jeff has his legal issues. He understands that he has to jab to basically everybody. He understands that when he finally wins a World Heavyweight Championship he will be around the age of 60. If he makes it that long of course.
Matt has amazing understanding to the fact that he isn't getting pushed any time soon. Despite all the talent he has in his body, Hardy understands that it will not happen. He understands that if he wants to get pushed, he needs to become his brother.
Right Judgment
When it comes to judgment you always hear a gong. The Undertaker is the Right Judgment in the WWE. He judges whether you will rest in peace or whether his old bitter heart will actually let you live. He is the jury in the WWE. He carries the holy grail as he calls it and if he judges you are worthy he will allow the WWE to have him lose the title.
If he does not think you are worthy I've got two words for you (no not the DX slogan): Tombstone Piledriver. And you will fall like the rest. So hope he doesn't pass judgment on you.
Knowledge, hmm, you'd have to be an idiot not to figure that one out. Chris Jericho is the representative of knowledge in the WWE. He has knowledge the rest of u dream about. He knows 42 dictionaries by heart. How else can you remember all those big words?
Jericho knows Webster's definitions and he'll tell them to you whenever he wants. He will use those big words to insult you harshly(even if you have no idea what the hell he said). Point is no one is this smart except Chris Jericho which is why he is knowledge in the WWE, you gelatinous tapeworms.
Nobody has more fortitude in the WWE than Rey Mysterio. Fortitude means the same thing as courage and he certainly has a lot of that. You gotta have courage to fight guys twice your weight and not be afraid. Then again the sport is fake, but not to all those little kiddies in the crowd who love and adore Rey.
The other fortitude he shows is when it comes to his weight. He weighs around 170 pounds, if I recall. How much fortitude do you think he shows for that. He knows he can't put on any weight so he uses that courage to just stare at that cake and say no to it. Good for you, Rey. Good for you.
Piety meas to have loyalty and faithfulness. Cena sure does have a lot of that. Despite his absolute horrific wrestling ability he has loyalty to all his fans and won't quit. Instead he makes us suffer through what he calls his wrestling matches.
He also has loyalty to Vince. He has loyalty to Vince and getting Vince all of his merchandise. Vince does love that money and he knows Cena is the guy that makes him a whole bunch of it.
The most annoying loyalty Cena holds is to being a face. Like, really Cena? You can't go a heel for even two minutes? You have to pander to all those 9-year-olds in the crowd rather than go gangster again and actually put on a decent show for the crowd. Wow, John, just wow.
Fear of the Lord
Fear of the Lord means that god and only God deserves our absolute trust and commitment. When you think god and WWE you think of one person. No not Cena, but he is up there. Actually thinking Vince McMahon.
CM Punk knows very well that his trust and faithfulness should belong to Vince McMahon. Vince likes him and Punk likes him (on camera). They try to put up stipulations where Punk would become champ. Sadly it doesn't turn out so well as he still loses.
You wold never hear Punk talk to Vince likes Vince is a no one. Vince is the WWE God and Punk knows it. He fears him and attempts to please him with what he does.
Punk believes without the lord he is nothing and must give the lord all he has. Which is why he is the perfect person for this.
Closing Statements
Religion can be found anywhere even in Pro Wrestling. Hell if you ask me Pro Wrestling is Religion. Jericho claims to be a Saviour, Undertaker and Kane say they've been in hell, Undertaker has risen from the dead(just like Jesus), and so much more.
Hope you found that at least somewhat of a compelling read. I'm off, Bleachers.

By George Joseph, Director of the Migration department for Caritas Sweden
European Union countries send migrants back to these places. The EU’s borders are extended far beyond those of its countries. Where migrants are concerned, the borders of non-EU countries are becoming European borders.
The EU has bilateral agreements with bordering states such as Libya and Algeria whereby they take back their own citizens who have attempted to migrate but also nationals from a third country. They do this in exchange for financial support and development aid. Money talks, as they say.
So what does this mean? It means border states prevent third country nationals from passing through to come to Europe. Or else, people are sent back there who have tried to migrate to Europe.
This infringes on international law which says that a state shouldn’t send people to a country where their security is not guaranteed. As there’s no sanctioning mechanism for these laws, it can only be hoped that countries are guided by their moral sense.
What are needed are safe legal channels of entry and proper humane migration policies. Immigration countries need to acknowledge that there’s a need for labour in the service, construction and agricultural sectors.
We need to address the fear of people in host countries about migrants “stealing their jobs” as this fear is sometimes based on perception rather than reality.
A country cannot be a fortress and cannot claim to be humane and yet have extremely restrictive migration policies. As long as inequality and poverty exist people will move.
At the moment capital is allowed to flow, but not always human beings. But in a globalised world, no country can live as an island.

0.800484 | <urn:uuid:906e110b-1f6e-403d-9773-9d14ab204c7d> | en | 0.94737 | In Today's news, NASA finally announced their plans for getting back to Luna Firma. However, I was shocked at the price... now... hold your pinky finger against the side of your mouth with your thumb down... like Dr. Evil does and repeat after me.... ONE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS!
I've done a lot of work with NASA over the years and I have to point out a few things I see in this. The most obvious is that MOST of the technology being "developed" is simply a repurposing of existing technology... take the main boosters for the Crew Exploration Vehicle... it's nothing but an SRB from the Shuttle program... and the second stage is nothing but an engine from the Shuttle. But, you say, the heavy lifting will be done by a new booster... not really... it's also a development of the shuttle program... it'll be a modified main tank (you know... the one that keeps loosing it's cool.) They're actually going to strap 6 or 7 SRB's on that thing - that should make for a spectacular show if it fails.
Now, remember, the SRB's were the main cause of the Challanger disaster. Yes, they are man rated, but I'm not aware of any man rated rocket relying solely on an SRB to launch a man into space. That'll be interesting. I do like the fact that they are going back to a relativly safe way to get people into orbit... they even have a launch escape system... which was proven by the Russians a number of years ago. I'm curious of their landing system... Airbags... gosh... I hope they work everytime!
Come to think of it... what new technology are they going to develop with this $100 Billion??? Oh, yeah, it will be bigger... so what? I still can't see it adding up to $100 Billion. If Mr. Rutan and his gang of homebuilders was able to put a man in space for only $20 Million, imagine what he could do if we gave him a couple billion... I'd imagine he could get someone to the moon and back and save us a bunch in the process. You see, in the 60's, the space program funded a bunch of innovative technologies that didn't exist... well, we already have sufficient technology to get to the Moon... remember, we already did it 6 times. I doubt that we will reap the same ratio of benefits from that past program with this new program.
Heck... why invent all new technology (or figure out how to use Shuttle technology for Lunar missions) when we already have a very successful design for getting to the Moon and back... remember the Saturn series of Rockets that were used for the Apollo Moon Landings? Let's just build a few more of these bad boys... not a single one ever failed... (Apollo 13 failed due to a command module failure - not the Saturn rocket itself.) The rocket is big enough... simple construction... remember it's 1960's technology... kind of like the Russian Soyuz system... simple means very reliable. They can easily be updated with new electronics and engine improvements - which would easily give us the new lifting requirements for the next missions.
Anyway, I think it's time this country starts to rethink NASA. It's time to stop relying on the Government agencies to do "incredible" things like this. They did it 35 years ago... now it's time for industry to step up to the plate. Let's let the free market system put men on the moon... If NASA want's to show off, skip the Moon and go directly to Mars... $100 Billion for that... sure, but not for the Moon again. NASA has a finite budget... and they're doing the worst thing imaginable in my opinion... they're actually forgetting what it is that NASA stands for... National Aeronautics and Space Administration. They're tasked with inventing new technology... not rehashing old stuff. By the way, my one other beef with NASA is that the second A in NASA stands for Aeronautics... as in Airplanes... you know non exoatmospheric vehicles. Why is it that their budget is so out of balance towards space when 99.99% of the population could really benefit from some advances down here? | http://blogs.msdn.com/b/wsteele/archive/2005/09/19/471566.aspx | dclm-gs1-012100002 | false | false | {

How husband acts
Posted 01/30/2012
My husband since the beginning is acting really strange he doesnt want to buy anything for the baby, i bought everything, thats normal?

My husband is acting weird this pregnancy too. I don't know if it's because he's just exhausted after work and chasing a 19 month old or what. We planned this pregnancy and he says he's excited. Maybe it's a combination of my hormones and being exhausted that I am not happy with him! So far we haven't needed to purchase anything.
Posted 02/01/2012
Some guys are like that. I just ask my DH for money and have fun shopping with my mom! LOL!

My husband doesnt give me any money, all the things that i bought for the baby my father give it to me. Thats mean that he doesnt care about this baby?
Posted 02/07/2012
I wonder if they are in shockSurprised...I think mine is holding his breath and just hoping baby makes it here safelyWink
To have friends you must first show yourself friendly...Why not open your heart and mind up to having one more friend in your life? Start with Me!!!!

I think they are going through a lot too but dont talk about it. The whole hormonal thing affects them too in a different way. I would def talk if you dont already because emotions need to be expressed, on both sides. But most likely you are just experiencing the same thing in different ways!
Posted 02/17/2012
My husband said he was excited, but didn't expressed excitement until a few weeks ago. I constantly questioned him and what was going on - I asked the typical questions: scared, not happy, etc. Then I stumbled upon an article:
Though this article is written by an African American man, I believe it expresses how several men feel about the birth of another child. I shared the article with my husband and he said this is exactly how he was feeling but didn't know how to express it. Since then he's been excited about our DS and I think it's because he knows his concern to be able to provide and be a good father.

My husband didn't do anything for the first baby at all. Like, AT ALL. He just sat around pretending like he felt it was ok that my family was buying everything for our DS. He even told me towards the end that he felt like he wasn't doing anything. He says he doesn't remember it now, but I wont ever forget how alone that made me feel. When you ask him about it now, he just says he wasn't prepared for it. For him it was easier to pretend like he was on the outside of the situation and it wasn't his responsibility.

My husband never showed real excitement about having a baby. I don't think that is how men usually react. He's happy about our little one but then for him, having a baby is just something that is part of life, that's it! You have him/her and deal with it. LOL. The baby stuff...I buy myself. He doesn't get involved. I know what I need and I just go ahead and buy it with our money. He will gladly come with me to the stores and stuff, but he doesn't care what I buy as he knows that I know best. He's not into color coodination and I am a very practical person and like to buy as cheap as I can so he lets me do all the shopping. He'll carry, assemble, helps me with heavy stuff and I am fine with that.
I'm sorry to say this and I don't mean to offend anyone but I find it weird that some women have to ask their husband for money...For the first few years of our marriage, my husband was the only bread winner for our family but then I took care of paying all the bills. I balanced our joint checking account, did the budgetting, made sure all bills were paid timely, etc. So even though I wasn't working and he was the only one bringing money in, I never had to ask him for money because I was the one handling the payments. My husband really liked that...he just had to work and bring me money. He could come home and relax and not worry about the bills and believe me, we were really poor for the first years of our marriage. So that's how it worked out for us...I just went ahead and budgeted the baby stuff into our income and made it work. We struggled for a bit and I always kept him informed of where we were at the end of the month: "Alright, honey, all bills are paid but we only have $200 left in our checking account to make us last until your next pay please beware. Don't spend anything you don't need.
What's on your mind?

0.022854 | <urn:uuid:aefd8106-1e84-4d10-b729-89a7dcda54f6> | en | 0.964454 | Thought I would try my hand at questions this time. Here goes... 1. Do you celebrate Christmas or some other gift-giving holiday this time of year? 2. Have you purchased anything from Sephora to give as a gift? If so, what? 3. Share one good thing that's brightened your day today (it's OK to say nothing if you've had a particularly crappy day). 4. What's your favorite mascara? 5. What is your ideal career? 6. Do you have any siblings (half siblings count)? If so, do you get along with them? 7. Share one of your favorite holiday traditions (if you have any). Here are mine: 1. I celebrate Christmas. 2. Not so far... 3. A text conversation I just had with my mother in walkie talkie lingo, where we addressed each other as "[work name] slave." 4. Right now I'm digging Sephora's Full Action mascara but I can be swayed. 5. Recording artist (preferably with my band) 6. I have a sister that I mostly get along with, even though she's my polar opposite in almost every sense. 7. One of my favorite things to do is go for a walk with my entire family on Christmas night to a particular street where everyone owns a huge house and the Christmas lights/displays/décor is insane. One house is so completely covered in lights it's dizzying to look at. Ok, enough of me. Let's hear about you!
YAY! May I present, another SUPER heart party for the thousanders who have contributed SO much here and haven't had their heart parties yet! Here's a fashionably late party for all you wonderful ladies. Congradulations to Titian06 for 1000+ hearts! I definitely remember seeing your helpful advice around but didn't realize you are not on my friends list yet but I'm adding you here now/anyways. Cheers for the first 1000 hearts! Congradulations to CrayzeeRN for 2000+ hearts! And for always bringing a little sprinkle of cheerfulness to all the posts you make. =D Congradulations to Drrragon for 3000+ hearts! And for the random chats about nerdy stuff. Always good to see a chic nerd around, and *high five* for becoming a fellow new meteorites owner. =P Congradulations to Nebel for 3000+ hearts! And for always being so cool/collected amidst heated discussions. Whenever I see your name I have an image of yoga and "Ommmm..." in my head despite the "exasperated" dog avatar. Congradulations to Dannyc for 4000+ hearts! My fellow skincare addict who started THE first traveling Sephora box on BT and started my mini-lipstick obsession by passing me the mini Bite rouge lippie. =O Cheers to many more helpful/fun posts to come! () () (^.^) ~Happy holidays! (v v)o
Since we all had so much fun doing wedding themes I’ve decided to take the liberty in creating a board. If you’re married, what was your wedding theme? If you’re engaged what are you planning on doing for your wedding theme? And if you’re still looking for the perfect significant other to go with your dream wedding theme what is it? For me, I’ve always wanted something kind of whimsical. I LOVE the idea of renting out an old theatre for a classic old Hollywood-esque themed wedding or doing a carnival themed event haha. For the old theatre theme I’d probably want to hang movie posters up featuring my SO and I. We could have a red carpet (don’t think I’d wanna do the whole cheesy paparazzi thing) though. Most people look at me like I’m a nut when I tell them about that, but when I say ‘think Water for Elephants’ they quickly catch my drift. For a carnival wedding I’d want fun foods like sliders, a French fry bar (with different dipping sauces like aioli, chipotle, etc), cotton candy martinis. I’d also want to hang upside down parasols around or do oversized paper lanterns.
I just realized that, after two weeks of finals, numerous doctor visits, running errands, preparing for Christmas, my 6 year old never sleeping past 2a.m. and all my regular "wifely duties" I'm thoroughly exhausted! I think after accomplishing all this, I should treat myself to a visit to Sephora (when I go to the "big city" to see yet another doctor!) hmmmm....what shall I treat myself with??? And more importantly...what shall I treat my husband with for putting up with me through this????
-RESOLVED- So I have this car that WAS in prestine condition.....until I got into a car crash that renders it undrivable because the hit bent everything in one of the wheel area. The price of repair is half what I paid for the car (despite the fact it's only 20-30% damaged), and it's undrivable so I don't think I can sell it as it is now. So now, I'm not sure what to do with it. Anyone have any experience with broken/crashed car? ps. Sorry to be really really off-topic, but I'm not sure where to ask. T.T
Hey ladies, So I would like to post this and see who you admire on this forum, and why do you admire them ?.
Since pipsqueek1582 so graciously offered her free items to us and there were enough items to start a box, we are officially opening Traveling Sephora Box #9 - 2013! I offered to help set up this thread with the rules and list of participants just to make it easier for everyone. I am calling this box #9 because box 7 split into 2 different boxes. The rules are basically the same as previous boxes which I borrowed (cut and pasted) from previous threads. 1. Please, NO DRUGSTORE items! 2. To keep things moving as quickly as possible, I'm requesting that people with U.S. ADDRESSES ONLY participate in this box. (I'm sorry Canadian BTers! ) 3. Once the box comes back to pipsqueek1582, she will donate what is left to a worthy charity in her area. 4. If you do not see your name on this list from the previous thread, or would like to change your spot on the list, please post a request and send me a PM if you are able to swap with someone. 5. Please be aware that shipping costs may reach upwards of $17 if the TSB gets really full. Previous TSBs have used either the Priority Mail Flat Rate Medium or Large Box (comes out to $12.35 or $16.85 with tracking & shipping confirmation). If you are going to participate, please be prepared for the shipping costs! Here is how it works: Pipsqueek1582 will fill a box with products and send it through USPS to the next person on the list. They will go through the box, take what they want, add their own items in, then send it to the next person. What you need to do: 1. Send a Personal Message to the person before you on the list with your mailing address right away so there's no delay in shipping. 2. Start collecting, sanitizing, and labeling your beauty goodies. Please label swatched & sanitized on a plastic bag or with a removable sticker instead of using a marker on the product. 3. Read through the Rules below to know what is allowed & what is not allowed: Allowed: ☆ High-End products and items you got from subscription boxes ☆ All opened items must be labeled ("swatched", "opened", "tried/used"…) ☆ Fragrance if it's in a spray bottle (can be 1/2 used too) & must be wrapped ☆ Nail polish must be tightly closed & bubble wrapped/bagged/in a box ☆ Makeup as long as you've cleaned it with alcohol & it doesn't have big fingerprint marks/dents in it ☆ Mascara if it's sealed and/or has not been used ☆ Tools/Brushes/Cases/Bags as long as they are clean ☆ Anything that is sealed ☆ Skin care items in tubes & bottles Jars only allowed if it's sealed or unopened ☆ Items will be organized in bags by type. Make sure products are wrapped well so they won't leak or break & ruin everything else ☆ Keep non beauty related items to a minimum (please do not overload the box with makeup bags, cases, etc). ☆ every explodable/leakable item needs to be inside a plastic bag/ziplock Not Allowed: ☹ Pre-made samples ☹ Drugstore items ☹ No USED items with wands, such as lip glosses, mascara, or concealers ☹ Heavily used items (except for perfume) ☹ Anything that might be considered unsanitary ☹ Taking more than you put in. Keep the Value of items equal ☹ Swatching items in the box 4 Do not keep the box for more than 3 days. (USPS does home pickup, so no EXCUSES! ) If you are traveling or something comes up, please let us know ASAP so we can move you down on the list. 5. Package things carefully and put in ziplock bags. 6. TRADE on or ABOVE the value of what you took. 7. Please include a tracking number. It makes it more fun anticipating your turn. Please post it and also send me a PM. 8. Post in a picture and/or text what you took and left (picture AND written description preferred). 9. Have fun and try some things you haven't tried before! Please ask if you have anything that is questionable. ♥ No drama ♥ Be polite ♥ NO RESERVES (you may ask for people to TRY to include items. If it gets to you terriffic. If not, that's okay too) If you think there is a need for more rules, post a reply to this. *******The list is closed******** Here is the list of participants : Pipsqueek1582 (I'll start it ;-) mailed 12/17 1. suddenlyforever 2. wendyomgwar 3. srikandi 4.

I am a book lover! I would rather read than do anything else! So just outta curiosity, What are you ladies (and gentleman) reading? What's your favorite genre? I just finished Blood Vivicani by Beckett And I am starting a reread of The song of Ice and Fire (the game of thrones series) My favorite genre by far is horror and Fantasy.
Off topic.. But I can't do my paper, my job keeps calling me with questions and distracting me like crazy (I took off to do this final today and it's getting nowhere...ugh) Show me your pretty rings, or your dream rings This one is my dream ring: ....Yeah, I want to marry that ring.
Hi there, I have two days left (they hold your spot for 72 hours) to subscribe for Birchbox, if I want to. The thing is, I don't know if I want to or not! I know it's just $10 a month, but is it worth it? A few months of Birchbox could, after all, buy me something I'm sure to I'm torn. Any advice would be much appreciated, especially from those of you who subscribe or have in the past. Thanks! PS After reading some previous posts similar to mine, I'm leaning towards no...
'Tis the season of engagements. That, plus kellsmuneoka's thread about Ridiculous Prices and IllegallyBlonde's Engagement Rings thread, made me start wondering about wedding dresses. If you're married, what was your dress like? If not, what is your dream dress? How much are you willing to spend? I'd love to hear your thoughts! Although I'm engaged, I haven't even started looking for a dress because we won't start planning the wedding until my fiance moves up here...but that should be happening soon! My research has now begun by watching marathons of Say Yes to the Dress lol. Anyway, rant and rave away!
Where you finally know what you want? (even if it's somewhat vague) I had one of those today. I know that I want: to go to school (i turned 26 in the fall but better late then never) a truck ( yeah, i'm 5"3 but whatever ) to fix my credit and get a credit card again to learn how to skate well to learn how to play the violin to stick to a healthy way of eating (so those extra pounds with come off) a new fashionable wardrobe (in a smaller size ^) and more make up What do you want? (It can be anything )
Howdy ladies! After all the good deals this yr I've completely exhausted my spending and any reason to buy anything. I will be on a no buy until mid-Jan (if Jan really is skincare month then that means I've still got 15 days after that for whatever promo, no excuse!) My Christmas/New Year resolution is to spend just enough to qualify for VIB for the rest of the year , and I'm going to try fund most of it through Swagbucks/Bing Rewards/Ebates (PM me if you want to know more about those sites). With that said, this is a no buy thread for the first 30 days, a palate cleanser if you will, for next year. Anyone/everyone is welcome to join me. This is not meant to bash any particular products, but if you post then I'll give you reasons why you should delay the purchase, consider the alternative, or why you don't need it. I will keep all my disabling to this thread, so please, ladies, let's not turn this into an enable thread . =P Now then, will I succumb to exciting advertisements and fancy packaging? or will I hold onto my will power and succeed in actually saving some money?
Just to let everyone know the Sephora App is now available for android
So, I'm about to throw in the towel and accept the fact that there are only good men in television, books, and movies. Before I do, I want to throw it out there and see what you ladies have to say. Especially, if you have a good one. I'd love to read some inspirational stories of good husbands or boyfriends. I'm not feeling very optimistic right now and I know there have to be other ladies who feel the same.
I just wanted to wish everyone here on BT who is a student--at any stage in their academic career--a big GOOD LUCK on finals, and Happy Holidays to you and yours My boyfriend reminded me earlier today: 50 minutes of studying, 10 minutes of break, and repeat. That's the best ratio, apparently. My ten minute break is just about up, so, back to studying I go! Hugs to all of you and don't forget to eat before your tests! <3
I've been looking through the sale items, and nothing is jumping out for me. Are there some really good deals there that I'm not seeing?
I purchased the Benefit Advent Calendar through Sephora and as some of you know, I ended up receiving the wrong product on day 1 of the calendar (should've got a coralista blush and instead got the a-lister gloss). I spoke with a customer service representative from Sephora and they suggested I speak with Benefit since it was clearly an issue during the processing phase at Benefit. For the record, Sephora offered me a refund but since they were sold out of the calendars that was my only option and I really did want to keep the calendar. So I contacted Benefit. They immediately tried to pass the buck off to Sephora and say that it was their problem. So off I go again talking to Sephora. The customer service representative from Sephora was wonderful! She contacted Benefit on my behalf and offered them proof of purchase for me in hopes that they would be able to assist me. Back to Benefit once again, I spoke directly with a manager. I told him that I didn't want money, or a brand new calendar, or to make out like a bandit. I just wanted the coralista blush sample that they manufacture and that I should've got in my set to begin with.I had already e-mailed them a picture of my missing item and the item I got in it's place (on the day I should've got the a-lister gloss, the door was empty). I then gave the manager my order number from Sephora (to again, prove I purchased this legitimately) and I mentioned the Sephora representative who contacted them on my behalf. Again, Benefit claimed there was nothing that they can do. I told him that they obviously don't stand behind their product as there was a mistake on their end and they weren't even willing to make it right (I even offered to pay shipping for them to send me the itty-bitty blush)! So because they were unwilling to remedy this situation and wanted to hold on to a blush that cost them a miniscule amount to make, they will lose out on much more since I will no longer be a Benefit shopper. Sorry for the long rant, but bad customer service is something I can't stand and think people should know about.
Did anyone on BT claim those 5000 and 10000pt perks? (were there 1000 pt perks? I forgot.) I'm just curious If anyone did I wanna know what it was like!
At work this morning all the employees are passing around this envelope so one of them can go drive 2 hours away to purchase lotto tickets (mega millions). I think I was the only one that didn't put any money in it. Personally, I wouldn't want to win the lottery. Too much greed and spoiled lives, not to mention the bickering between family and friends. That's ok I'll pass and live contently not having to worry which charity or people I would give away my winnings to. Talk about a stress factor, then again you could have a lifetime supply of Sephora products! Do you think having a business doing the "lotto run" together is a nay or a yay? What about yourself, do you buy tickets or are you oppose to it?
So i was a bit scared to order from Sephora online and to go to another city's mall (I have no sense of direction) but I worked up the nerve and ordered online then worked up the nerve to go out of town to this huge mall, that's an hour away. This started in October lol... So I have placed everything I got in one of the boxes I got from an Sephora order. Sounds a bit strange right? I figured I wait till it was right full - then i'll open it. It's almost full *i'm kinda excited hehe*
1. Since it's becoming a harsh winter around where I live. I would like to cure my cracked, chapped, sometimes bleeding lips. Something for this winter only, or all year around. I have plenty of chapsticks..but I don't know which one is the "perfect" one. I'm getting sick of curing it, then the very next day it's like I've done nothing to it. 2. Is there a product out there to grow my eyebrows even faster? I would like to have full, beautiful eyebrows. After that I want to get it waxed cause I know I have extra hair around that needs to be taken care of. I can't do it right now due to the fact that they are still growing, and semi bald on one. I've plucked my eyebrows almost all my life and I'm fed up with it making one mistake after another , I can't do it nearly as good as a pro does. 3. Also I want my long lashes again, because in my past I did something that makes me regret what I've done, they are still growing, but really fragile. I would like a product that can continue making them grow and also make them stronger. That way I can start wearing mascara again....I miss wearing it.
Hey Ladies, I just went into Nordstrom's yesterday and saw the most tacky and ugly pink sequined dress on the planet (in my opinion) and look at the price tag and it's $2,230. THAT'S RIDICULOUS IMO. I don't care who made it ,it was disgusting. Did anyone ever see a beauty product, clothing, etc where you had to hold back laughter and disgust because you could never imagine anyone buying it for that much if so, please tell me what it was and the price. xoxo, Kelly P.S I'm not trying to offend anyone who would buy something like that for that price, I just have a different style and budget.
BT isn't allowing me to reply to comments people have made- when I click it says "this action is not allowed" or something there along those lines. Does anyone know why or what I can do to fix it? Please help! Thanks in advance!
Did anyone else get sucked in to Ulta's cyber monday and still not even get a shipping notice? I never order from Ulta but they had some gifts I missed out on or didn't have at Sephora (the $10 Art of Shaving kit for my BIL, a $19 Bare Minerals kit for my SIL) and the free gift looked nice. I ordered just after midnight on sunday night/monday morning and it still says "order processing" and since it's been 5 days the pending charges aren't even on m CC anymore. I know other people are having the same issues because their Facebook page is blowing up and they sent an email out letting everyone know they are experiencing delays. They said it will still be here within 10 business days (which is really 2 weeks) but I am not confident my order will complete or have the free gift (if something is OOS it will mess up my christmas shopping because I thought I was done). I get it's shopping season, but in comparison, all my other holiday orders have been here for a few days. My Sephora CM order that I placed late on Monday got here Wednesday. My giftopia order was only 1 or 2 days behind, which wasn't bad at all. I'm on day 6 with Ulta. Anyone else having holiday shipping woes or get sucked into Ulta? I knew I was a Sephora girl before, but I can say with confidence now that Sephora > Ulta. Plus, Sephora's CS has always been good to me. Ulta doesn't seem to be handling this well. UPDATE: I received a shipping notice last night 12/9 for 2 of my items. It says the label was created so I'm not sure when I am getting them. At least I will be getting them. STILL waiting for 3 other items to ship/praying they aren't out of stock. If they are, I "loved" 3 back up Christmas gifts from Sephora. Hopefully I will know soon if I need to pull the trigger! 2ND UPDATE: Finally got a shipping notice when I woke up this morning 12/11. It *should* all be here Friday. I'm just glad I got the shipping notice. It wasn't about WHEN it would get here, it was about IF it would get here--especially since everything except the GWP was Christmas gifts for other people.
Hi girls (and boys? do we actually have boys here?)! This is my week of finals. I have 2 today, 2 tomorrow and one on Sat. I'm scared like hell and feel like I'm not ready at all! I just want to wish good luck everyone who still have some papers/tests left for this semester! We can do it! *Maybe reward by going to Sephora next week?*
I saw this on Benefit's facebook page along with a funny comment and figured we could have some fun over here. Change the lyrics to something beauty related. Oh, the holidays are so stressful, Sephora's perks are so delightful, My credit card I will repay, Order away! Order away! Order away! I definitely won't be stopping, I'll shop until I'm dropping. Is that eye shadow in silver gray? Order away! Order away! Order away!
I placed a flash shipping order ($31 total) over 20 hours ago. Usually it ships in under 6. Not sure if I should be mindful when placing additional orders for Christmas. I travel for the holidays so I usually get the gifts a few days beforehand so I can wrap and pack them up. This is not a complaint, just inquiring so I can plan my holiday shopping accordingly.
This off topic, but I need some input on how to handle this situation. As some may know, it is finals time, and some have already finished. I got all good grades except I have my last final and I am terrified. I never knew how I was doing in the course (statistics) because professor was really bad at posting grades. Anyway the final is cumulative and I asked if we will have a review guide, and he said to look over past exams which he just gave, like 3 days ago. I saw on the first exam I did well, however on the last two I did terrible. I have never in my academic career got below a C on exams, but this time I did. I need to do well on the exam to pass the course with a C but I don't know if it's possible. The only other grades are projects we have done but I do not know if it will make a difference as an exam would. I tried my hardest, even went for help, but nothing helped. I want to cry because I get an academic scholarship, so if I fail this course, I would not be able to get scholarship for next semester and I would have to retake this course. I would not want to do that since I go to a private university. Sorry if this was long, but I just want some advice on what you do, when feeling down or stressed.
This is a thread to post products that are Radiant Orchid-themed! This color definitely needs more attention because it's a nice change from the heavy wine, jewel, and brown tones I've been seeing lately.

TWill could be a really good WR

We are working in a lot of rookies and inexperienced guys on offense. Williams, Escobar, Hanna (only one year in), Frederick, Leary. That's a lot of newness but overall I think they are all growing and learning. Williams looked much better in week 2 in limited action. I could see him having a bit of a breakout this week vs the Rams maybe catch 4 or 5 passes and a TD

I think he will be, not could be. But it's going to take time.

For those saying they hope he can be Laurent Robinson realize we have a very flawed view of Robinson. He had one good year in the NFL. We just happened to get it. If Terrence Williams is Laurent Robinson that is a failed draft pick.

That is silly. Romo and Robinson were a good match. That could have gone on for years.
Wes Welker was nobody. Then.....

Correction, that was a good catch. Lets not get ahead of ourselves after ONE play. I do like his potential though.

Because he is the guy who labeled him as a bust and garbage after his first game.
Agenda's defy all logic.

The point is ultimately Robinson has basically had one good productive season as a professional and has bounced around the league in 6 years. If we're looking back 6 years from now describing TW in a similar light, that's a failure IMO.
To answer the OP, i believe TW will be a very good #2 WR hopefully as soon as next season.

I never called him a 'bust'. In order to be a bust there have to expectations in place. What's this 'agenda' talk? Like I get paid or something if the kid fails. I've already stated that I hope I am wrong and he succeeds. So the only 'agenda' present here is the one that individuals (weakly) exercise in a discussion forum for the sole sake of trying to discredit someone else's opinion because theirs are worthless or they simply don't have one of any value.

I hope TWill turns out to be great.
So far, I 've seen very little though, but it is very early.

Not even close to being similar players. Laurent Robinson ran 1.46 in his 10 yard dash. In the history of the Combine results, a time of 1.43 puts you in a group for the top 5 fastest. One of the reasons that Robinson worked well for Romo is that once the primary route failed, Robinson could explosively accelerate into a secondary route (or as Garrett likes to call it "staying alive") and was immediately open. Romo plays that kind of impulse game very well so he could see Robinson's separation immediately and get him the ball.

Who knows what Williams will become as an NFL WR, but he is not starting with the same stuff that Robinson has.

The "He is just a rookie" response would be validated if not for the fact that we're putting him out there A LOT. The staff appears to have a lot of faith in him. I do see that he's not so bad at routes. He's got great speed. He just needs to keeps his eyes on the ball throughout the catching process.
