South Side Krooks, Anaheim Gang, Lose Thug To Prison After Stupid Shooting
Aguilar: What you lookin' at? |
You can't help but note Andrew Aguilar's audacity.
At the age of 18 in August 2008, the Anaheim gangster and a fellow hoodlum decided to terrorize their neighborhood.
The two members of the turf-happy South Side Krooks (SSK) criminal street gang approached two other men who'd just finished cleaning up from their car wash business and uttered the phrase of punks: "Where you from?"
Of course, the question had nothing to do with place of birth, but is lowlife street code seeking the name of a gang a person has joined.

Like most productive citizens, the two cars washers didn't belong to a gang and so they remained silent.
To help prove his toughness and inadvertently his stupidity, Aguilar continued to taunt the men. "Fuck you, mother fuckers," he barked, according to court records. "Fuck you, bitches. This is my neighborhood."
Aguilar then pulled a black handgun from his waistband and from a distance of just 20 feet pointed the weapon at the chest of one of the workers. He fired the gun, missed, ran down the street and jumped over a fence with his pal. After looking at a photographic lineup, one of the victims identified Aguilar as the shooter.
On the ball Anaheim Police Department patrol officers noticed the suspect walking down a street. The hoodlum fled through an apartment complex but was eventually captured. Chasing officers claim they recovered a discarded handgun--the weapon used at the car wash crime scene, according to a crime lab ballistics report.
During the 30 months between the crime and his trial, Aguilar didn't tell anyone that he had a defense--not even his own defense lawyer. But by the time of his trial, a story emerged. His father, stepmother and cousin's wife testified that their sweet, adorable loved one couldn't have committed the crime because he had been at home sick when the shot was fired.
For some reason, an Orange County jury didn't believe their alibi attempt and Superior Court Judge Richard W. Stanford sentenced Aguilar to prison.
The gangster appealed his convictions: attempted murder, carrying an unregistered gun in public, street terrorism and gang membership.
In Aguilar's mind, he can't be guilty of attempted murder because the prosecution presented no evidence that he intended to kill. Stated differently, he believes the only way to prove he'd meant to kill was if he'd actually killed his victim. He hadn't been murderous, he argued. His actions had been nothing more than a "rash [and] impulsive act" without premeditation.
He also complained that his punishment is too severe.
A California Court of Appeal based in Santa Ana this month ruled on the case.
"The fact that Aguilar confronted [the victim] with a loaded, concealed handgun that was easily accessible is evidence of planning," wrote Justice Kathleen O'Leary for justices William Rylaarsdam and Richard Aronson.
The appellate panel determined that the jury reasonably concluded that Aguilar had "arrived at a cold and calculated judgment to kill" merely to bolster his thug reputation.
They also observed that the shooting "was entirely unprovoked."
Upshot: Aguilar--whose home is now the lovely Wasco State Prison--took this last breath in freedom at the age of 18 and will be about 50 years old when he gets his first opportunity to seek California parole board permission to return to society.

Health care in the United States is mainly provided in the private sector (both for profit and for non-profit) and to a lesser degree by public funding for the poor, elderly, disabled, children and veterans. The United States does not have a universal health care system.
In the United States expenditure on health care in actual dollars and as a proportion of gross domestic product (GDP) and on a per-capita basis is greater, than in any other nation in the world. The World Health Organisation reports that in 2005 the US total expenditure on health as 15 % of GDP and that the total expenditure on health per capita was $US6350. http://www.who.int/countries/usa/en/ (accessed on 22.04.2009).

The second movie in a series of five Big Up Productions brings you Dosage II. From Illinois bouldering to deep water soloing in the Mediterranean this movie has its fair share of ups and downs. Although it is not as random as Dosage I it is definitely not as good as later movies by Big Up including Progression and Dosage IV and V. It features Dave Graham, Chris Sharma, Klem Loskot, Ivan Greene and more. Keep on reading for my analysis and crazy good rating system which will blow you away!
(Opinions expressed in this review are not nearly rants or raves they are 100% true.)
Well here it is, Dosage II. I am not sure why I decided to start with this one to review and not a movie like Progression or the first movie in the series but you clicked "read more" so you have to keep reading and you can calm down. The movie starts off in Illinois for a little bouldering session. The problems are not too bad but the guys climbing are pretty annoying and I would suggest just watching this part with the volume on mute; the experience will be much more enjoyable. In any case this part definitely doesn't make the movie unwatchable its just not my favorite, maybe you will like stoners jibber-jabbering about random stuff.
The next part is the reason to watch this movie... Deep water soloing. Wow. This part has Klem Loskot and another crazy European guy climbing in the Mediterranean over water with out ropes or any safety gear. These routes get up to as tall as 60ft. Beautiful yet insane.
Chugging right along the next two parts have Dave Graham and some other guy climbing some boulder problems and sport routes. The boulder problems are definately not for the squemish.; the crazy crimps make it so you hear their nails grinding against the rock the get every bit of friction out of the hold. The sport route is insane. Dave Graham says its "bouldering with a rope on for a really long time."
New York City bouldering is the next part. Its part bouldering and part "bro" doing a photoshoot. The boulder problems aren't that exciting either. But after that is the moment you have all been waiting for; Chris Sharma.
Chris Sharma doing some deep water soloing is the highlight of this movie, even though I am partial to Dave Graham. He climbs like no one else.
In summary, this movie is alright. It is not as good as the later Dosage films or Progression but it is still fun to watch. So if I was going to rate this movie from a 5.5 to a 5.15 i would give it a
Pros: Deep water soling, Dave Graham, Chirs Sharma
Cons: Annoying people, some boring parts, still isn't as serious as the later Dosage flicks or Progression.
Bottom line: Watch it... It's climbing.

Playing The Leveling Field! (Japanese: 踊るジムリーダー!メリッサ登場!! Dancing Gym Leader! Enter Melissa!!) is the 93rd episode of the Diamond & Pearl series, and the 559th episode of the Pokémon anime. It first aired in Japan on September 11, 2008 and in the United States on February 7, 2009.
Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details. |
Dawn and her friends are passing through a town on their way to the Celestic Contest when they see Zoey in the middle of a tough battle with a well-dressed Coordinator. Zoey's Glameow is beaten by her opponent's Mismagius, and this stranger introduces herself as Fantina—the Hearthome Gym Leader herself! She's traveling as a Pokémon Trainer to become a better Gym Leader and perfect her own style, so she's not interested when Ash requests a Gym battle and Jessie (disguised as the reporter Jessedia) requests some interview time. But Fantina is willing to battle Ash in a friendly three-on-three battle, starting with her Drifloon against Ash's Buizel.
The battle's barely started when Drifloon hits Buizel with Hypnosis, putting it to sleep. By the time Buizel finally wakes up, it's too exhausted to battle! Next up is Chimchar, but Drifloon uses Psychic to stop Chimchar's Flamethrower and follows up with Hypnosis yet again. Now Chimchar falls sleep, too! Now it's up to good ol' Pikachu to save the day—if it can. Pikachu confidently launches a Volt Tackle that's slowed to a crawl and then reversed by Drifloon's Ominous Wind. Pikachu strikes back with Thunderbolt, but that just sparks Drifloon's Evolution into Drifblim!
Drifblim uses its aerial mobility to dodge Pikachu's Thunderbolt, then uses Hypnosis again! With Pikachu sleeping like a baby, Ash's team is unable to battle. Ash is bummed by the loss, but Fantina promises him a battle at the Hearthome Gym and even agrees to someday battle Dawn as well. That night, Jessie, hoping Yanmega can learn Drifblim's moves, shows her Pokémon the videos of Fantina's battle, while Zoey shows Dawn her third Ribbon. Now that Fantina has given them some new challenges to consider, Dawn and Ash are ready to get back on the road to Celestic Town!
The episode opens with Zoey and her Glameow battling an unknown Trainer and her Mismagius. Glameow attempts to dodge a Psybeam, but gets hit and confused. Ash and his friends then walk up to the battlefield, saying that they thought it was Zoey battling.
Zoey orders a Shock Wave, but since Glameow is confused it misses. Zoey notices the group as they cheer for Glameow, which then recovers and fires off another Shock Wave, but it is blocked by a Magical Leaf from Mismagius, and then the whole lot is sent back at Glameow with a Psywave. The combination knocks out Glameow, and the two battlers exchange compliments. As they shake hands, Brock butts in and professes his love for the other Trainer; however Croagunk stops him. Zoey then introduces them to Fantina, informing Ash that she is the Hearthome Gym Leader as well as a Pokémon Coordinator. Fantina mentions that she has become a traveling Trainer, much like the others, and so has no choice but to leave the Gym empty while she is away.
Team Rocket, who have been listening in, discuss Fantina. James mentions that the "job description" reminds him of another Gym Leader. Jessie then decides that they need to figure out Fantina's style so that she can copy it to win Contests.
In the nearby Pokémon Center Ash tries to persuade Fantina to go back to the Gym so that he can challenge her. "Jessadia" then butts in and tries to get Fantina to talk about her role as a Gym Leader, but Fantina brushes them off, saying that she needs to go and train. Zoey then suggests that they will understand better if Fantina tells them why she became a traveling Trainer. Fantina explains that with a lot of hard work, she was able to become Top Coordinator with her Misdreavus, and then the Hearthome Gym, specializing in Ghost types was opened. However eventually some of the Trainers would defeat her in a rematch, and she felt that she wasn't giving them a good enough battle. Brock states that he understands exactly how she feels from when he was the Pewter City Gym Leader. Fantina also states that she has been working on a new battle style which incorporates the beauty of a Contest Battle and the ferocity of a Gym battle. She says that she hasn't quite got it quite right yet, but agrees to a battle, as one of the first things that traveling Trainers do when they meet is battle. However her Pokémon are too tired for two battles, so Ash and Dawn use the Coin Toss app on her Pokétch.
Dawn is fuming that she lost the coin toss as Ash and Fantina get ready for battle. Ash suggests that the battle should be three on three, over when all the Pokémon on one team are unable to battle. Fantina agrees and Dawn uses a coin toss to decide who should start the battle. Fantina wins the toss and goes first, while Jessie tells James to only focus the camera on Fantina. After Fantina holds up a Poké Ball, Ash sends out Buizel and Fantina sends out her Drifloon. Drifloon starts to use Ominous Wind. Buizel counters with Water Gun, but Drifloon dodges and hits Buizel. Buizel breaks out of the attack and hits Drifloon with Aqua Jet. Drifloon then puts Buizel to sleep with Hypnosis, before picking him up and waving him around, following up with Psychic. Buizel wakes up, but then promptly faints. Ash then sends out Chimchar, who opens with a Flamethrower, but Drifloon stops it with Psychic and plays around with it before using Will-O-Wisp and following up with Hypnosis. Chimchar struggles to stay awake, but falls asleep. Ash recalls Chimchar and Dawn comments that it was good that Ash got Chimchar back in its Poké Ball, but Brock points out that unlike confusion, Pokémon continue to sleep even after they are returned to their Poké Ball.
Ash sends out Pikachu, knowing that if Pikachu falls asleep the battle is as good as over. Drifloon hits Pikachu with Will-O-Wisp and Pikachu retaliates with Thunderbolt, hitting Drifloon. Pikachu follows up with Volt Tackle, but Drifloon blocks it with Ominous Wind. After a short struggle, Pikachu is thrown backwards, and then follows up with another Thunderbolt. It hits, but doesn't help as it simply causes Drifloon to evolve into Drifblim. Dawn Checks it on her Pokédex, then Pikachu uses Thunderbolt but Drifblim dodges and then moves to close range and puts Pikachu to sleep with Hypnosis. Ash then forfeits the match, and the Trainers exchange compliments. Fantina says that she will return to the Hearthome Gym to do a bit of work with her Drifblim, agreeing to have a battle with Ash when he gets there.
That night, Team Rocket show the footage of the battle to Yanmega and Jessie asks it to dodge like Drifblim, but Yanmega says that it can't. James and Meowth point out that Yanmega and Drifloon are very different Pokémon.
Back at the Pokémon Center, Zoey shows Dawn that she has won her third Ribbon. She says that she won't be entering the Celestic Town Contest, but will be there to cheer Dawn on. Meanwhile Ash is sitting on the floor surrounded by his Pokémon trying to figure out a way to counter Drifblim's Hypnosis. The episode ends as the narrator comments that how Ash learns from his loss will affect the outcome of his next battle with Fantina.

The 63-year-old indicated if the club consistently replicates its recent good form then it should not miss out, while he welcomed Nigel Adkins back to top-flight management.
The Gunners currently sit in fifth place in the Premier League table, four points behind north London rival Tottenham which occupies the fourth and final automatic qualification spot.
The Frenchman's side has a game in hand over its neighbor, though, and the 63-year-old insisted if his players carry their recent form into their remaining fixtures then a top-four finish is achievable.
"If we are consistent in the last nine games, we'll do it," he told reporters. "We want to continue our form. [The] Bayern and Swansea results are a good inspiration for that."
Reading, which is second-bottom in the league table, visits the Emirates on Saturday in what is Nigel Adkins' first game in charge since replacing sacked Brian McDermott.
Wenger sent his sympathies to the former Royals boss, but indicated he is pleased to see the former Southampton manager, who was relieved of his duties at St Mary's in January, given another chance in the top flight.
"It's sad to see [McDermott] go," he added. "It's good to see [Adkins] back and that he gets a chance again."
While Arsenal hosts the Premier League strugglers, Spurs travel to League Cup champion Swansea and Everton, which is just two points behind the Gunners, welcomes Stoke to Goodison Park in the later kickoff.

« Love a g! | Main | Summer & type »
you have re-invented the definition of LOVELY!
Absolutely gorgeous. And one of my favourite characters too. Please tell me that we won't have to wait several years to see this completed as an entire typeface. Please.
Oke, unfinished typeface number 1022. Next one please! ;)
This one will be finished...
niiice. looks like a curl from elvis. god bless him. :-D
HAHAHA yes it does, didn't see that before. Now it will be stuck inside my head :-)
typehouse rock ;)
»peter has left the building ...«
This is massively beautiful. The g is incredible.
Wow! this is so beautiful. i would buy this typeface for the 'g' alone! when will it be finished?
Thanks ! I hope to finish it as soon a spossible, it fun when you get started and can't stop.
Lovely in an exquisite fashion. On the dynamic discussion thread at Typophile in 2006 about lower case g, the relative traits and merits of the "single story" g form versus the "double story" or binocular g form were discussed with much insight. The thread can be found here: http://www.typophile.com/node/17647
As a classicist and lover of the binocular form I'm fascinated by this one Peter. I'm wondering if the florid swirly tail and ear are specifically meant to be baroq? They seem florid in a French way, or could easily be Italian, but possibly this is an original design effort in much the same spirit.
James – the whole g started with a a few sketches whilst on the phone. That it became high contrast didone was just a spur of the moment. The others glyphs just came along. But there is a big DeSpigna and Carnase influence, and also Phil Martin's Fat Face (especially the numbers will go in that direction). I see it more of a display typeface than a text face.
The lowercase "g" (especially a two storey/binocular form) is mostley the most fun to make, and together with the "a" the signature of the face.
Ah-ha, I hear you. Some great things occur in the twinkling of an eye (spur of the moment). Thanks for the insight.
I'm keen to see a resurgence of classicism and decorative design. Reductive modernism seems to have run its course.
Wishing you all the best Peter.
Beautiful. Just beautiful. Can't wait to see the rest
Thank you for the kind words :-D
I will try to work on it more next week.
Lovelovelove that 'g'! I wroteFountain an email without going back a few more entries, after I'd looked through the entire Fountain catalogue in search of it! Can't wait to see the rest of it so I can find some way to use it.
Any news on this font?

This is amazing! And we're past early 09. Any news, Peter?

If you are a couple, you've most likely had an argument. Big or small, it can ruin your day and, even worse, your relationship. Dr. Sharon Morris May says, "It's not how similar you are or even your level of conflict that determines your marital success but how you deal with your emotions, vulnerabilities, and dragons when you argue."
Dr. Sharon views conflict through the lens of the attachment theory, helping us understand: why we argue, how we argue, and how to unravel our arguments. She helps us identify what's really going on in our brains and body when we argue, the cycles we get stuck in, the emotions fueling the cycles, and then helps us to argue in more considerate and connecting ways. She also offers six practical principles that help turn arguments into conversations:
- Establish a Safe Haven

VILNIUS (Reuters) - Lithuanian Prime Minister Andrius Kubilius hit out at centre-left opposition budget plans on Thursday, warning of danger to fiscal stability.
He spoke ahead of a parliamentary election on Sunday, which he is likely to lose and which is expected to lead to a government formed under the centre-left Social Democrats.
"You need to understand very clearly that financial stability will require more unpopular decisions. There is little room for significant changes in revenue and spending," Kubilius told a news conference.
"But certain parties have points in their programs, and their leaders speak of them in debates, which ... would mean that financial stability is not adhered to," he added.
He said opposition parties had raised the idea of increasing rebates on value added tax for some goods and services.
The Social Democrats have proposed raising the minimum wage and introducing a progressive income tax in a country that cut spending and raised taxes after the 2008 global crisis.
But they also say they will adhere to a strict budget policy and keep to European Union rules on budget deficits, which set a limit for the fiscal gap of three percent of output.
Lithuania had falling wages and living standards and a 15 percent drop in output in 2009. Some growth has returned, but thousands have emigrated and it is one of the poorest EU states.
An opinion poll by survey group Sprinter for news portal Delfi showed the Social Democrats remaining the most popular party ahead of the first round of an election on Sunday.
The poll put the Social Democrats, led by former finance minister Algirdas Butkevicius at 16.9 percent, followed by the Labour Party, led by a Russian-born businessman, at 15.8.
Kubilius' Homeland Union polled at 7.9 percent.
The election is likely to influence when Lithuania seeks to adopt the euro. Kubilius has said 2014 would be realistic, but Butkevicius told Reuters he is aiming for 2015.
Lithuania has two voting rounds: on Sunday half the seats are decided on a proportional representation basis, with the rest decided two weeks later in district runoffs.

Family tree▼
Father of author Nathaniel Nawthorne.
Son of Daniel Hathorne, Nathaniel Hathorne was, like his son, born at 27 Union St. in Salem. Like many of his Hathorne ancestors, Nathaniel Hathorne chose a life at sea. He sailed aboard the America in the late 1780s, aboard the Perseverance, a ship owned by his brother-in-law, Simon Forrester, in 1796. Nathaniel Hathorne married Elizabeth Clarke Manning who lived a block away on Herbert St., on August 2, 1801. Their first child, Elizabeth, born on March 7, 1802, and their second child, Nathaniel, born on July 4, 1804, were both born while Hathorne was on a sea voyage. Hathorne returned later in 1804, having achieved the rank of Captain, and was inducted into the East Indian Marine Society in November of that year. He sailed on this last voyage on December 28, 1807, on the Nabby bound for Surinam, or Dutch Guiana. Less than a month later, on January 9, 1808, his wife gave birth to Maria Louisa. A few months later, in early April of 1808, she received the news of her husband's death from yellow fever in Surinam.

text: HomeNews Proud Granddaughter Writes Tribute to Real Life 'Airlift' Hero Sunny Mathews Tanaya Singh January 23, 2016 News, Quick Bytes QUICK BYTES: Curated positive news from across the web. Read more. When Saddam Hussain invaded Kuwait during the gulf war in 1990, more than one lakh Indians were stranded there. The entire country was in a state of terror and the residents suffered great tragedies and loss. This was when the Indian government came forward to rescue the Indian community and airlifted over 1,70,000 people with the help of 488 flights in just 59 days. After everyone was rescued, Air India's name was recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the civil airline that had evacuated the most people till date. And that's what the latest Bollywood movie, Airlift, is about – the unsung heroes who masterminded the evacuation plan. But Ranjit Katyal, the character played by Akshay Kumar in the movie, does not actually exist. According to the director Raja Krishna Menon, the character is an amalgamation of two gentlemen, Sunny Mathews and Vedi, who formed an unofficial committee to oversee the evacuation because they knew that Indians were not safe. Subscribe A day before the Airlift released, Sunny Mathews' granddaughter wrote a post about her grandfather on Facebook, with old paper clippings about his bravery. Today 'Airlift' releases, a movie based on the largest civil evacuation (Indians based in Kuwait) during the Iraqi… Posted by Rhea Mathews on Thursday, January 21, 2016 "Talk to any returnee from Kuwait, who has undergone the ordeal of having escaped from Kuwait and he'll tell you about Toyota Mathews. Mathews is the person who has helped many Indians by either organising their transport, or giving them some money which would come handy on the way, or more importantly, providing them with food and water for the arduous journey. For thousands of Indians stranded in Kuwait, Mathews has been some sort of messiah," says one of the old reports in the picture. The evacuation was very difficult because many people did not want to leave their well settled lives behind, and many did not have their passports and other travel documents as they had handed them over to their employers. "The first challenge was to prepare over 100,000 travel documents. Delhi had sent two planes for evacuation. Ships began arriving a lot later. With nearly a lakh people stranded, I had to look at the alternative of bulk evacuation by road. Sunny Mathews, an extremely resourceful Indian working in Toyota, did a great job negotiating with private bus operators for evacuation via Iraq to Jordan by road," Ashoke Kumar Sengupta, the then officer-in-charge of the Indian embassy in Kuwait, had told The Times of India in 2014.

Comment org-mode in emacs (Score 1) 133
I have tried several solutions and find org-mode to be the most useful one. I have it set up in essentially a GTD structure, with TODO items in one big list, a separate list of active projects, and a third list of potential future projects.
org-mode is extremely configurable, which is a definite plus for software you intend to organize your life. I recommend the following add-ons as well:
- org-caldav to synchronize appointments and scheduled TODO tasks with Google calendar. (two-way sync that is!)
- MobileOrg for Android, which will let your Nexus 7 work with your org-files.
Now you just take text notes in emacs and org-mode does the rest. I happen to write LaTeX and some code, and org-mode also supports literal programming. This is an extremely useful feature since I can write rich outlines of all my projects in org-mode and have the TODO items be placed naturally where they would have gone in my hand-written notes.
For a simple example of how this might work, suppose I'm drafting a research paper and don't remember some detail I don't care about currently. I might write, "Smith first published this theory in the 80s * TODO Look up the year for Smith". org-mode will find these todo items and tell me about them when I look at my todo list. Then when I find the appropriate date and want to insert it, it will take me directly to where I put the TODO item so I can insert it into the draft with minimal effort. In this way, outlines naturally progress toward finished projects, just as GTD wants them to.

So are the liberals going to start legislating farting now?
I imagine that walking downwind of a herd of large herbivores would not be a good idea, then.
That's just stupid.
The mass extinction event of the dinosaurs happened rather concurrently with the rise of flowering plants. Quite simply, the dinosaurs were ill equipped for an angiosperm-dominated environment, and they sneezed themselves to death.**
**I'm requesting this theory be presented to all 7th graders in the State in accordance with the Louisiana Science Education Act.
Rush is on this today. Funny stuff.
You laugh, but the EPA is trying to tax "emissions" from cows, horses, and pigs already. Thankfully the stupidity got held up and it has not happened yet. If it does, look for the price of pork and beef to go sky high. Many farmers will simply sell the herds and get out of the business. I forgot what the amount was, it seems like $50 per cow and $25 per pig, but I am not sure of that number.
A "Fart Tax?"

Growing up in the house I grew up in its a miracle none of us were farted to death!

- So quick question for the tribe. WP has come leaps and bounds in a year, correct? Yes.
It is in its best position to succeed since its inception, can we agree on that? Yes. Very good.
So, now that it is on the verge of quite a bit of visibility in the next few months, why are people so worked up over how someone chooses to spread the WP message with whatever phone they get?
Now if you've got stock in htc or Nokia, it would definitely make sense. Sell
More phones, your stock goes up MERRY HOLIDAYS FOR YOU! Makes perfect sense.
I can also see any sales people on the boards who get a higher commission On one than the other. I'd be all over that too.
However I'm going to venture a guess that a good deal of us don't have a stake in either company like that. So, with that said WHY ARE PEOPLE'S SCREWS COMING LOOSE OVER THE 920 VS 8X?
Me, I'm pretty partial to the 8x and no amount of voluntary refresher courses on the spec sheet for the 920 is going to change that.
There are also people who are firmly digging in their heels to get a 920, and no amount of talk on the 8x's form factor will change that, to which I say RIGHT ON!!! Spread the WP love baby is how I see that.
So really, how about we try something. It will be super cool, watch.
If someone is pro WP8 phone on ANY side of the fence, here is the SOP I want to see:
1) Person expresses excitement for wp8 device in a post.
2) The next poster thanks them for being a fan & further lining Steve Ballmers pockets by buying a wp8 device.
3) both posters virtually high five + fist bump and then agree to go and try to convince as many of their friends as possible they need to switch to WP.
4) The next step is to go and make fun of iPhone fanboys for being, well, iPhone fanboys!
See, flies with honey on the hook instead vinegar, works a lot better.
I have spoken.....11-02-2012 09:52 PMLike 7 -
- Not possible on this forum at least. A lot of the Anti Nokia and Anti HTC people have already decided they want a Nexus 4. So they could care less about Windows Phone. They just can't leave the site because of how boss the new layout is.11-02-2012 10:05 PMLike 0
- Well played, vagrantwade! To the OP, couldn't have said it better if I tried. I might get the 8X since I already know it's coming to my carrier and the 920 isn't. However if I do so I'll be breaking a promise to myself not to buy HTC after dealing with the crap quality, crap design, and crap support I experienced with my HD7. Honestly if I didn't love WP so much the experience probably would've soured me on the whole platform... That being said, everyone should get the device that best matches their priorities, and love and promote the snot out of it to anyone who will listen! *insert virtual dist bump here*11-02-2012 10:53 PMLike 0
- There wouldn't be so much squabbling here if certain people who we know don't like Nokia or the 920 would stop posting in every 920 thread about how bad they think the phone and Nokia is. We get it, you don't have to repeat it all the time and **** people off.
Best thing to do is just put the ignore list to good use.11-03-2012 12:58 AMLike 0 - My guess is its more fun to poke the herd.....
Either way, tough to get worked up over something as trivial as someone else's phone purchase.11-03-2012 01:43 AMLike 0 -
- For the past few years I have had many different phones on ALL 4 major networks in the US and have much experience with ALL of the OS's and all brands. Each have their pro's and con's and I think it's due to this experience I have but I really don't understand brand loyalty.
People see my iPhone and they think I am a mac-baby. People saw my lumia and thought was a windows fanboy. Same with android. In all of my travels I have simply chosen what phone I wanted at the time regardless of what OS, brand, network. If I can get the phone that I want, I get it.
Right now, I have decided that my next phone with be the HTC 8X. Why? Simply put it looks like the best WP device in my eyes (I understand some people will disagree) and I had planned on coming back to WP when 8 came out.11-03-2012 03:28 AMLike 0 - Why not? We don't all have to be blind fanboys of anything related to Microsoft. I like technology, I'm on the side of companies who choose to innovate instead of iterate.
The second this place turns into a circlejerk is the second I leave it. There's no point to a discussion if everyone agrees with everyone.11-03-2012 03:35 AMLike 0 -
No - I can't abide "pushers" and I refuse to one - if someone asks to me express a preference, then I might steer them towards android, WP or an iphone* depending on what their needs were but pushing one platform to all people is trying to push a square block through a circle.
* or a blackberry if they were a teenaged girl or they were poor.11-03-2012 05:41 AMLike 0

govinda dances at salman khan's birthday bash News
Why was Katrina Kaif not present at Salman Khan's birthday bash?
Before you jump the gun, we'd like to clear that there is no trouble in paradise. Kat had to skip her dear friend's party for a very personal reason
There were many surprise moments at Salman Khan's birthday bash in his Panvel farmhouse. Like, an unusual guest Farhan Akhtar (Shahrukh Khan is supposed to be his best buddy) made it all the way to Panvel to attend the party and Govinda, who was supposed to be miffed with the Dabangg dude, grooved like there was no tomorrow. But what we're more interested in knowing was about lover-turned-ex-lover-turned-friend Katrina Kaif's absence at her Ek Tha Tiger co-star's revelry. Click here to read more -

The Bible in Translation outlines the development of biblical translation, including a careful analysis of more than fifty versions of the Bible. Author Bruce Metzger, one of the most respected biblical scholars, explores the circumstances under which each translation was produced and offers insight into its underlying objectives, characteristics, and strengths.
Metzger begins this engaging survey with the earliest translations of the Old and New Testaments before proceeding to English versions dating from the eleventh century to the present. Having served on a number of modern translation committees, his insights into the evolution of Bible translation flow not only from careful research, but also from personal experience.
Translations under consideration include the Septuagint, Coptic versions, the Wycliffite Bible, the Geneva Bible, the King James Bible, Weymouth's New Testament in Modern Speech, the New International Version, Peterson's The Message, and many others.
Students, pastors, and interested readers will discover the history of the written Word and gain useful insight into which modern translations best serve their own needs.
Praise for the Print Edition
This clearly written, enjoyable book belongs on the shelves of all lay people, pastors, and even scholars who want an expert overview of Bible translation from its beginnings in Greek, Syriac, and Latin to its many manifestations in the modern English-speaking world.
—Michael J. Gorman, The Princeton Seminary Bulletin
Felicitous is an appropriate description of this flowing work by this world renowned biblical scholar and author. It reads with smooth facility that is fascinating in its affair with the translation history of the Bible. . . . This is truly an exciting history of the translation of the Bible. It reads like a novel, captivating the interest of the reader from the first page to the end. Filled with historical data, it is an engaging experience for anyone interested in the history of ancient and English versions of the Bible.
—Richard Allison, Ashland Theological Journal
A highly informative and interesting account of the history of the English Bible. Professor Metzger has pointed out the qualities--good and bad--of all the versions, from that of John Wycliffe to the New Revised Standard Version of 1990. He has not neglected the Jewish translations of the twentieth century or the simplified, easy-to-read versions, and even includes the various paraphrases of the English Bible. All of this is done with clarity, humor, and sound judgment. His book will be a valuable vade mecum for all pastors, students, scholars, and general readers.
—Joseph A. Fitzmyer, S.J., Catholic University of America
Any comments by Bruce Metzger about the Bible are worth heeding with greatest care. This is especially true for what Metzger, one of the key translators of the Revised Standard Version and the New Revised Standard Version, has to say about other translations--both ancient and modern, both English and in other languages. All who know how important it is to read the Bible in one's own language will appreciate the learned yet accessible descriptions that make up this book.
—Mark A. Noll, Wheaton College
Metzger has done here what few books of this nature have done; namely, reviewed the ancient versions of the Old Testament made for use by Jews, including the Septuagint and Targums. And, more particularly, he has addressed the ancient versions that were intended chiefly for Christians, including the Syriac and Latin versions, through the Coptic, Gothic, Armenian, Georgian, Ethiopic, Arabic and Sogdian, to the Old Church Slavonic and Nubian versions. In each case he has tersely, yet clearly, provided the necessary details regarding each language's contribution to the Bible's accessibility to an ever-widening public. . . . Metzger's footnotes are an invaluable resource to the person pursuing further information regarding many of these translations. . . . I cannot recommend this book too highly to those interested in just what it says. It will be my quick reference guide regarding the various versions from now on.
—Bible Editions & Versions
Bruce Metzger has been associated with Bible translation for over fifty years. . . . Due to his writings on textual criticism and the canon of the NT, he has established a reputation for being one of the foremost NT scholars of the twentieth century. No one is more eminently qualified academically and by personal experience to write a general history of how the Bible has been translated from Hebrew and Greek into other languages. . . . I heartily commend this volume to pastors, scholars and students of the Word.
—The Master's Seminary Journal
This is a very readable attempt to help us understand the history of our English versions of the Bible and would have a useful place in anybody's library.
—Peter Ballantine, Anvil

Back when I was a child (when dinosaurs roamed the Earth), coupons had no expiration date, groceries were individually priced and everything had to be done (including the redemption of coupons) by a cashier manually. Then they started doing everything by UPC codes and people have been trying to figure out new ways to scam the system ever since!
First things first: BarCodes are pretty standard:
The first 5 digits of the bar code are the manufacturer ID
The next 3 numbers are the "family" code
The last 2 numbers are the value code
So what is "BarCode Decoding"? Simply put, it is deciphering the bar code on a coupon to see if it will work on different (preferably less expensive) items.
Those who decode coupons will match up the first 5 numbers with other products made by the same manufacturer, thus enabling them (in many cases) to take advantage of a "glitch" in the bar code that will allow the use of a coupon on an item other than what is described on the coupon.
Why is this wrong?
Despite what many people think, the bar code is not the intent of the coupon. The bar code is merely a way to speed up the processing of the coupon. The coupon is based on the wording of the coupon; the text is the "offer". If the wording of a coupon is "$1 off Product X", then the coupon should only be used for "Product X" even if a glitch in the coupon will allow it to be used for "Product Y". Similarly, if the wording of the coupon is "$.50 off 4" and a glitch in the value code will allow it to be used for only 2 items, then it is still wrong to use it on only 2 items.
In a nutshell: no matter what the bar code says, it is the text of the coupon that is the offer. Taking advantage of a glitch in the bar code to get around the text of the coupon is fraud. It's not fraud on the level of your Bernie Madoffs of the world, but it is still fraud nonetheless.
All that being said, there is some confusion as to what is and isn't bar code decoding.
BarCode Decoding is:
Using a coupon good on (for example) "Brand X Shampoo" on "Brand X Styler" just because the bar code matches up, unless the text of the coupon states that it may be used for a styler.
Using a coupon for a completely unrelated item, just because the manufacturers code on the barcode matches.
Taking advantage of a glitch in the value code section of the bar code to buy less of a product in order to get the same discount.
Using a coupon in any way other than the wording of the coupon
BarCode Decoding is not:
checking a bar code to ensure that it is a store coupon and not a manufacturers coupon (which means that, if it is a store coupon, it can be stacked with a manufacturers coupon at many stores)
matching up a bar code to ensure that a coupon will work on an item that is not pictured on the coupon, but that you are reasonably sure is included in the description (and example of this might be using a Johnson's bath & body item coupon that has pictures of baby wash on it on a Johnson's Buddies item.)
using the fact that the manufacturer ID "matches up" (as long as the wording does as well) to explain to a cashier why the coupon is valid on that item, even though it might have beeped when scanned.
I know at least a few of you who have read this far are already thinking of your arguments as to why bar code decoding isn't that bad. Let's tackle a few of those right now:
"If the company was so concerned about it, they would make sure that the coupon was coded correctly!"
Yes – and if a frog had wings he wouldn't bump his butt when he jumped….the world is an imperfect place and mistakes happen, even in the big bad corporate world of creating bar codes.
If the mistake was that a $.75 coupon was coded for only $.25, you would be upset wouldn't you? When you are buying the exact same item described and pictured as on the coupon and the cashier tells you that she can't take it because it beeped (thus meaning it was coded incorrectly), you want them to accept it anyway…right? A glitch is a glitch, no matter who it favors! Just because the glitch favors you doesn't make it ok to take advantage of the mistake.
And once again, the bar code is not the offer on the coupon. The text of the coupon is the offer.
I've called the company and they said that as long as it went through, they were fine with it!
How about if you call Proctor & Gamble and ask them if they were upset a few years ago when people took the $7 WhiteStrips coupons that were coded incorrectly and walked out with free Tide, Pampers & Swiffer refills? Stores put out coupons to promote and move specific products, especially ones that they think need to be promoted and moved off of shelves. There is a reason that the WhiteStrips coupon is currently a $10 one and the Downy coupons are only $.25!
The coupons that my friend recently emailed me WILL scan at many stores, but are fraudulent coupons and they may not upset the manufacturer, but the store that doesn't get reimbursed will likely be a little miffed!
Stores need to show sufficient quantity of product sold/ordered in order to be reimbursed by a manufacturer. What if the recent high-value Huggies coupons (there were for the Gentle Care line) would also work on "regular Huggies" and you redeemed it at a store that had yet to start carrying the Gentle Care line? It may have scanned (because it was coded for ANY Huggies), but the Huggies people could look at the reports and say "how can they be taking this coupon? They don't even carry Gentle Care? We're not reimbursing them!"
Times are tough! I need to save money however I can! If taking advantage of a small glitch in the system makes me dishonest, it's such a small thing I can live with that!
Only you can decide your own "dishonesty comfort level".
You may have noticed more and more segments on your local news about using coupons and coupon classes. While I applaud the news stations for showing people how to save money, the reporters have been distorting the facts a bit. I know a few people who teach coupon classes and know that those people teach how to read a coupon for the purposes of verification only….not as a way to "get around the system". But the news reports are making it seem like it is fine & dandy to decode a coupon to use it other than as intended. After a few months of watching these reports, I finally had to speak up and say something.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this!

So last weekend I ran the 2nd half of the San Francisco Marathon. It was a bit spur of the moment; frankly, I'm almost at the next elite level at American and need like one more trip home, so this was all about the miles. When I booked a quick weekend home, I discovered it was also the marathon, so I registered.
So back to the guy and the beer.
It's San Francisco, so any marathon that has a David Bowie cover band along the route:
Is bound to have some great sights along the way.
My favorite was a group of spectators dressed like devils. What else would the devil offer during a marathon, when your mental and physical strength should only be matched by the faith you have in yourself to finish it?
But not just beer. At some stations, they had shot glasses of Bloody Marys. And you all know how I love me some Bloody Mary. That one was hard to pass up.
But they were also there at the end, as we rounded out mile 12. Holding signs like, "Come. Sit. It'll be nice." This time, however, the devils meant business. They were holding out entire cans of beer. I remember seeing a guy weave over, shrug his shoulders as if to say, "Hell, why not?" and take one.
(And the Lord sayeth to the Serpent: 'No sweat, he earned it.')
I remember digging this guy immediately and thinking to myself that here was a runner who had already accomplished something so great - and now he was having enough fun to not take the end so seriously. That was inspiring. So all the way to the finish, I tried it out, too.
No PR for me, but given the hills, I was more than content.
One of the first races where I didn't spend the rest of the day obsessing over my time. Instead, I spent the afternoon with about 20 friends and family at Pier 23.
How fitting that Kerry sent me this today:
Yep, the 26.2 is for fun.
(Well that, and fundraising for cancer research. Yes! It's a shameless plug! And if you haven't visited my ACS page, do it now. Now.)
I've decided that the next time I'm struggling on a run, I'll envision myself with a beer in my hand, smile on my face, photographer in front of me. Nice cap on a fun and fulfilling weekend. And now I'm only about 800 miles from platinum status.


text: 25 Jun 2010 Submitted by site_admin Having iPhone 4 reception problems? Try adjusting your grip. That's the advice from Apple CEO Steve Jobs, who yesterday responded to press queries about a possible antenna issue with a typically terse rejoinder: "Just avoid holding it in that way." Meanwhile, Apple PR issued a longer statement about the iPhone 4, reminding bloggers and journalists that all cell phones are vulnerable to antenna issues and urging consumers to consider purchasing a plastic case for their Apple handset. iPhone 4 Repairs & Diagnostics available at Dr. Cell Phone "Gripping any phone will result in some attenuation of its antenna performance with certain places being worse than others depending on the placement of the antennas. This is a fact of life for every wireless phone," Apple said in its statement. "If you ever experience this on your Phone 4, avoid gripping it in the lower left corner in a way that covers both sides of the black strip in the metal band, or simply use one of many available cases." As we reported yesterday, Apple was slammed with complaints yesterday about a range of issues with the new iPhone 4, including a yellow blotch – possibly glue residue – which appears under the screen glass of some iPhone 4s. But the most buzzed-about iPhone 4 problem was fuzzy reception. Many reported that if they gripped the iPhone 4 on the bottom left corner – or with their left hand – the reception quickly tailed off. "I have [an iPhone] 3G phone and an iPhone 4 sitting side by side and the 3G will have full service and the iPhone 4 either says searching, no service, or has 1 or 2 bars," one of our readers, "Ziggy," wrote yesterday. "Jose" wrote to us that he "bought my iPhone 4 yesterday in France, and I got both problems, the reception drops to nothing when holding the phone, and the yellow blob across the screen." While most of our commenters had negative anecdotes, reader "Mikeyp" said that, "My service works lovely in [Virginia]. No problems with my reception (knock on wood)." Still, reception issues seemed unlikely to sink the launch of the iPhone 4, which was off to a good start yesterday. USA Today reports that Apple outlets in dozens of cities around the country – including Chicago, San Francisco, and Los Angeles – had sold out of the iPhone 4, as had BestBuy and RadioShack. Though Apple would avoid one of the most important issues on iPhone 4, the reception problem by suggesting the users not to hold their iPhone 4 in a certain way. Dr. Cell Phone is committed to diagnosing the issues with the hardware and providing Repair Solutions, as they do with HTC and other models. If you think just holding the phone in a certain angle doesn't solve the reception (signal) problem, you can bring it in to one of Dr. Cell Phone's repair centers to have your iPhone diagnosed for possible Antenna problems. contribution from: csmonitor.com

China's stateowned telephone operator, China Telecom, lost a record 1.48 million landline telephone customers last month and posted its first ever fullyear drop in users, due to the rapidly increasing popularity of mobile phone services. The country's leading wireless carrier, China Mobile, which is also statecontrolled, separately reported gains of 6.6 million customers in the same 31day period. December was the fifth month in a row of subscriber losses for China Telecom, bringing its total customer base to 220.3 million, the Beijingbased company said in an online statement. Shares in China Telecom have surged 41% in the past six months, however, on speculation that it may gain a wireless license of its own as part of an anticipated reorganization of phone companies in China, designed to spur competition. "The loss of subscribers will lead to shrinking revenue for the fixedline operators and may lead to them lobbying the government to restructure the industry sooner," predicted Francis Cheung, an analyst with CLSA Ltd. "The urgency of this scenario may give the government an added push to do so."  ** Check out our Phone Card China Keywords Tag: Calling Card China, China Calling Cards

When artist Mauro Baioco named his shop Naughty & Nice, he wasn't talking about Santa's list. Baioco creates modern riffs on classic works of art by adding a bit of kitsch with cartoon animals, southwestern flare, and buttons.
Some are on the nicer side. Animal portraits with button eyes, mixed media street scenes, and one that looks like a depiction of The Last Supper meets Noah's Ark.
While other pieces on the naughty side are decidedly darker. A cartoon bear being abducted by an alien spaceship in a picturesque mountain landscape, or faux skull mounts with animal horns.

Someone asked me today what kind of hand saw a person would use to rip cut a long board. I did not know. I saw a guy on a youtube video use a japanese saw. Can someone tell me what western saw could be used and maybe a picture. This is just one of those things that is bugging the heck out of me. |

If it's a 3/4" board I usually just use my Disston D-8 provided there is no electricity available, otherwise I use a table saw or at the very least my 45 year old circular saw. -- Improvise.... Adapt...... Overcome! |

Something in my head said there was a fancy name besides "rip saw". Guess I was wrong. Maybe the fancy name I remember was a manufacturer. Some days the halfheimers kicks in and I can't remember anything. |

Fewer teeth and the angle they are cut is what makes a rip saw. -- Improvise.... Adapt...... Overcome! |

Your standard western hand saw with teeth filed in a rip pattern as explained in Joe's excellent link. Funny enough it didn't actually include a picture of a saw, so here's one from Matt Cianci's blog. Though the one in that picture appears like it might have crosscut filed teeth, a rip saw looks pretty much the same. Edit: Ok, I found a picture of one of mine before cleaning, a Disston D8 Thumbhole rip saw: |
#6 posted 08-31-2013 02:44 AM |
Ah hell now what. Tim, for giggles I wanted to see how much that saw goes for and ended up buying one for 45 after shipping. I am sure it needs sharpening and cleaning. Did I screw up? Curse you ebay!!!!!!!!!!! |
#7 posted 09-02-2013 05:26 PM |
Sorry missed your response. I'm not real sure of the value, but I think you got your money's worth, not a steal either way. Clean it up and it will be a great user and be worth a little more. The older ones can be worth a lot. There's several methods to clean it up, all work. Only thing to make sure is to use a sanding block over the etch so you don't sand it out. Here's a few: I used the first one since I had the materials. |
#8 posted 09-02-2013 07:10 PM |
Thanks Tim. I had found the wkfinetools site but not the others. I am looking forward to the rehab of the saw. I did not think the price I paid was a steal, and I don't mind paying a fair price, I was just hoping I did not over pay. Thanks. |
#9 posted 09-02-2013 07:20 PM |
The best tip from Matt's blog is the Simple green. Way better than killing brain cells with paint thinner or mineral spirits. If you get bit by the saw bug, go looking at estate sales, flea markets, and maybe antique stores though those are usually pricier. Eventually you'll learn about saw medallions and etches and how to identify older name brand saws that you can pick up for a couple bucks. I do think you did fine though. Consider you can't buy one in the store of that quality for that much. Have fun with the restore. |

The 49ers ventured into the Ravens' red zone six times during the Super Bowl, but they came away with just two touchdowns. Now, that could be cause for a 49ers fan to shake his head over lost opportunities. But that's also how the Ravens have played all season.
During the regular season, Baltimore ranked second in the NFL in lowest percentage of touchdowns allowed on opponents' visits inside the 20, at .429. This minimized the damage as the Ravens defense no longer was its fearsome self and giving up lots of yards (No. 17 in the league).
In the first quarter after the Ravens' first touchdown, the 49ers mounted a drive that carried them to the Baltimore 8. But the Ravens stuffed a Frank Gore run, defended an attempted pass to Michael Crabtree and then sacked Colin Kaepernick on third down, forcing San Francisco to settle for a field goal.
Another drive at the end of the first half reached the Ravens' 9 with 25 seconds left before a running play and an attempted scramble by Kaepernick went nowhere and the 49ers kicked another field goal.
In the third quarter, the 49ers were trying to take advantage of Ray Rice's fumble that gave them possession at the Ravens' 24, but they stalled after three plays, thanks to a well-timed leap by cornerback Cary Williams to bat away a pass intended for Ted Ginn Jr. in the end zone. Again, the 49ers got three instead of six.
The biggest red-zone stand, of course, came near the game's end, with the 49ers trying to take the lead. They had three plays from the 5, each one an attempted pass to Crabtree, each one incomplete. The topper was the fourth-down play that, depending on your view, featured 50-50 hand-fighting between Crabtree and cornerback Jimmy Smith or pass interference on Smith that wasn't called.

Modu Chanyu
This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) |
Modu Chanyu | |
Hunnu Chanyu | |
Reign | 209–174 BC |
Predecessor | Touman |
Successor | Laoshang |
Born | c. 234 BC Modern-day Mongolia |
Died | 174 BC |
Dynasty | Maodun |
Father | Touman |
Modu Chanyu (simplified Chinese: 冒顿单于; traditional Chinese: 冒頓單于; pinyin: Màodùn Chányú; Mongolian: Модунь, Modun; Баатар, Baatar; sometimes also transcribed as Maodun; c. 234 BC – c. 174 BC) was the fourth known Xiongnu ruler[1] and the founder of the Xiongnu Empire. He became the Xiongnu ruler after he ordered the execution of his father Touman in 209 BC.[1][2]
Modu ruled from 209 BC to 174 BC. He was a military leader under his father Touman, and later the Chanyu and king of the Xiongnu, centered in modern-day Mongolia.[3][better source needed] Once he had secured the throne, he established a powerful Xiongnu Empire by successfully unifying the tribes of the Mongolian steppes and hence posed an imminent threat to the Chinese Qin Dynasty. His Xiongnu Empire was one of the largest of his time – the eastern border stretched as far as the Liao River, the western borders of the empire reached the Pamir Mountains, whilst the northern border reached Lake Baikal.[4][better source needed]
He was succeeded by his son Laoshang Chanyu.
Several scholars have suggested the reconstructed Middle Chinese pronunciation of Mòdùn (冒頓) is IPA: [mək-twən].[5] His name is also written as Motun in some sources. Ultimately, the Old Chinese pronunciation might have represented the pronunciation of the foreign word *baγtur, a relative of the later attested Central Eurasian culture word baγatur 'hero'.[5] The etymology of this word is uncertain, although the first syllable is very likely the Iranian word *baγ 'god, lord', which is an element in the titles of many later Central Eurasian people.[5] Clauson claims the word to be an original Xiongnu name/title.[6]
Origins and rise to power[edit]
According to Sima Qian, Modu was a gifted child but his father Touman wanted the son of another of his wives to succeed him.[2] To eliminate Modu as a competitor to his chosen heir, Touman sent the young Modu to the Yuezhi people as a hostage; then he attacked the Yuezhi in the hopes that they would kill Modu as retribution.[2] Modu was able to escape this fate by stealing a fast horse and returned to the Xiongnu, who welcomed him as a hero.[2] In reward for this show of bravery, his father appointed him the commander of 10,000 horsemen.[2]
Due to his reputation for bravery, Modu began to gather a group of extremely loyal warriors.[1] To be sure of their loyalty, Modu ordered each of the warriors to shoot his favorite horse. Those who refused were executed.[1] He later repeated this test of loyalty, but with one of his favorite wives, and once again executed those who hesitated to obey his order. After he was sure of the loyalty of his remaining warriors, he ordered them to shoot at his father, killing him in a shower of arrows. With none of his followers failing to shoot at his command and the elimination of his father, Modu proclaimed himself Chanyu of the Xiongnu.
After his self-proclaimed ascension to the title of Chanyu, Modu began to eliminate those who would prove a threat to his newly acquired power. Thus, he proceeded to execute his rival half-brother, his step-mother, and other Xiongnu officials who refused to support his rule.[2] After coming to power in 209 BC, Modu began to act on his ambitions to become the sole ruler over the Central Asian steppes, finding substantial success through both military strength and clever strategy.[2]
The rise of the Xiongnu Empire[edit]
First he marched on the Donghu, the Xiongnu's eastern neighbours, and brought them under his rule in 208 BC. After his Donghu campaign (the Donghu split into Xianbei and Wuhuan); he defeated the Dingling and other peoples living in Northern Mongolia, and finally he brought the Yuezhi under his rule in 203 BC. After these conquests, all Xiongnu lords submitted to him.[1]
With these victories, he was able to gain control of the important trade routes, which later supplied the Xiongnu with a large income. In 200 BC, Modu fought a three-year campaign with the Han Dynasty of China, and decisively defeated the Han Emperor Gao (personal name Liu Bang); when Liu Bang advanced against him, Modu (with 40,000 soldiers) lured the Han army into a trap, ambushed the emperor, reputedly with 300,000 elite Xiongnu cavalry, and encircled them for seven days at the Battle of Baideng. The emperor was cut off from supplies and reinforcements.[2] The siege was only relieved when the Han royal court sent spies to bribe Modu's wife. The result of this campaign resulted in Han China resorting to the humiliating "marriage alliance" strategy with the Xiongnu for the next seventy years.[2] From the Chinese perspective though, it was a case of a "poor 'partridge' delivered over to the 'wild bird of Mongolia'."[7]
After his Chinese campaign, Modu forced the Yuezhi and the Wusun to become vassals of the Xiongnu.[1]
Despite the violent circumstances by which Modu came to power, the Xiongnu leadership passed on with relatively few problems for 150 years after the beginning of his rule.[2]
Later legends[edit]
Christopher I. Beckwith has pointed out that the story of the young Modu resembles a widespread class of folk tales in which a young hero is abandoned, goes on a quest, proves his worth, gains a group of trusted companions, returns to his home country, slays a powerful figure and becomes a king.[8]
The name of Maodun has been associated with Oghuz Khagan, an epic ancestor of the Turkic people. The reason for that is a striking similarity of the Oghuz Khagan biography in the Turko manuscripts (Rashid al-Din, Hondemir, Abulgazi) with the Maodun biography in the Chinese sources (feud between the father and son and murder of the former, the direction and sequence of conquests, etc.), which was first noticed by N.Ya. Bichurin (Compilation of reports, pp. 56–57).[9][10]
Another suggestion connects it with the name of the Magyar (Mad'ar) royal tribe of the Hungarians (匈牙利) and with their distant relatives the Mators, now extinct.[11] He has been linked with the Dulo known from the Nominalia of the Bulgarian khans[12] and this, in the form *Duh-klah Tuqi, with the Hungarian/Magyar Gyula (D'ula) clan.[13] It has been suggested that his name, as Bixtun or Beztur, appears in the genealogy as the ancestor of Attila the Hun, in the Chronica Hungarorum of Johannes de Thurocz.[14]
- The Turkish Land Forces claims the beginning of his reign in 209 BC as its symbolic founding date.[15]
- Modun Resources, was Australia-listed coal company operating in Mongolia, named after Modu Chanyu.[16][non-primary source needed]

Sony expects to shut down its Life with PlayStation application by the beginning of November. The application will no longer accept new sign ups when firmware 4.30 is rolled out this Thursday. The service opened in 2007, and allowed players to involve their console in a project to uncover the intricacies of protein folding. This is aimed at discovering cures for diseases such as cancer and Parkinsons.15 million users signed up, amounting to around 100 million computation hours. This benefited Alzheimer's research work in particular. The PS3 system was a game changer for Folding@Home, as it opened the door for new methods and new processors, eventually also leading to the use of GPUs," Vijay Pande, Folding@Home research lead at Stanford University said. "We have had numerous successes in recent years. Specifically, in a paper just published in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, we report on tests of predictions from earlier Folding@Home simulations, and how these predictions have led to a new strategy to fight Alzheimer's disease." "The next steps, now underway at Stanford, are to take this lead compound and help push it towards a viable drug. It's too early to report on our preliminary results there, but I'm very excited that the directions set out in this paper do appear to be bearing fruit in terms of a viable drug (not just a drug candidate)." Well done to everyone who took part. |

Michigan's economic future is threatened by a lack of cohesion behind a common strategy for growing the economy and prioritizing investments in areas that will improve the state's overall competitiveness such as education and training beyond high school, innovation and assets and economic development according to panelists presenting at today's CEO summit hosted by Business Leaders for Michigan (BLM) in Detroit.
An audience of 500 senior leaders from the fields of business, policy, education and advocacy gathered at the Westin Book Cadillac for updates and discussion related to Michigan's economic growth.
"Thanks to major policy changes since 2009, Michigan's economy has experienced a surge of growth that has outpaced nearly all other U.S. states," said Doug Rothwell, president and CEO of Business Leaders for Michigan. "However, our progress in absolute terms is still very low compared to our peers. If we want to attract fresh talent and new employers, we need to make absolutely sure the value Michigan offers is worth the cost of locating here."
