4-star running back and Alabama commit Tyren Jones has suffered a knee injury, but this is not something that should impact his commitment to the Crimson Tide.
Michael Carvell of ajc.com reports on Jones' situation:
Running back Tyren Jones, who has committed to Alabama, was diagnosed with Grade 1 MCL knee injury on Saturday and will miss at least two weeks.
The 5-foot-8, 192-pound Jones suffered the injury in the first half of Walton High School's win over Etowah on Friday.
While it's never a good sign to see a running back go down with a knee injury, the good news is that it's just a Grade 1, and he's not expected to miss a huge amount of time. Two weeks for a knee injury is actually good news, considering how much worse they have the potential to be, so this shouldn't have much of an impact on his recruiting process, especially since he's already committed to Alabama.
Carvell also reported that Jones' coach, Rocky Hidalgo, hadn't heard from Alabama yet in regards to the injury (at least at the time of the report):
Walton's coach said on Saturday that he hasn't heard yet from Nick Saban or Alabama's coaches yet about Jones. "They've got their hands full with LSU; they've got a lot going on with the season, and I don't expect to hear from them anytime soon."
This is a case of no news being good news. If this was something for Saban or his staff to really worry about, they would have undoubtedly at least called Jones' coach right away to see what the status of their recruit was.
The fact that they didn't immediately reach out points to them considering this to be a minor blip on the radar.
Should 'Bama be worried about Jones' injury?
Even though they were undoubtedly preparing for their big showdown with LSU, recruiting is important enough to garner immediate attention if needed, and dedicated members of the Alabama's recruiting staff would have reached out had there been a legitimate concern.
Coach Hidalgo's nonchalant attitude towards hearing from the Alabama staff also points to him not feeling to concerned about this injury and how it could impact his player's recruiting status.
It's never good when a player goes down with an injury, especially a knee injury, but there doesn't appear to be anything major to worry about with Tyren Jones.
I don't see this injury impacting his commitment to Alabama in any way.

6 CBs in round one? Damnnnnnn
"There's nothing that work cannot do, it can outreach and go beyond any barrier, and anything can be done" - Priest Holmes
Silly Todd McShay. Drafting for Patriots needs and not TEs, CBs, RBs, and special teamers.
Michael Floyd > Justin Blackmon
John Fox never drafted a DT before the 3rd round. In 10 drafts.
Not the first guy to completely dismiss Colt McCoy. I expect him to continue progressing and not fall on his face but we'll see. I wouldn't pass on Luck if Colt had me picking first
Is it possible to have 2 AFC teams picking at 29 and 30, without trades? I believe one team must be from the AFC, and the other from the NFC.
Eh. Depending on how Guion does this year at DT, I could believe DT at 13.
Does McShay know Janoris Jenkins got kicked off the team at Florida? And why would Cincy want a corner anyway? They passed on Patrick Peterson.

Paradigmatic Assumptions of Disciplinary Research on Gender Disparities: The Case of Occupational Sex Segregation

Lips (2012) deconstructs the standard methodological approaches to understanding the gender wage gap and shows that issues of gender pervade nearly every assumption of these models. In this commentary, we call attention to paradigmatic assumptions and theoretical approaches of the three most relevant social-science disciplines that deal with a parallel issue—occupational sex segregation—to demonstrate that scientific progress is facilitated by transparency in our disciplinary approaches to addressing gender disparities. Accordingly, the neoclassical economic approach to occupational sex segregation posits, among other things, self-selection in the development of human capital, such as choice of college major, as well as women's tradeoffs in marriage vs. work-related capital as the drivers of occupational disparities. Progressive sociological approaches, such as feminist and Marxist sociology eschew these "supply-side" explanations in favor of examining "demand-side" explanations, particularly social forces that shape both employers' beliefs about desirable worker attributes as well as the institutional structures that are created to support these views. Psychological approaches tend to address both supply-side (e.g., vocational preferences) and demand-side (e.g., stereotypes and bias) explanations. The aim of this commentary is to elucidate the paradigmatic approaches that each of the major social-science disciplines takes in understanding gender inequity issues in order to advance integrated research on these important social topics.

CINCINNATI The Giants could have chosen from among two former Cy Young Award winners, Barry Zito and Tim Lincecum, to hold the shield with their backs against the wall in Game 3 Tuesday night.They chose neither. Theyll put their faith in their 35-year-old journeyman, instead.Ryan Vogelsong knows what its like to stand with his back against his wall. Its the natural result of walking down so many career dead ends. But his remarkable path led him back to the major leagues in 2011 after a six-year, continent-jumping hiatus. And now the Giants will entrust him to extend their playoff lives against the surging Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park.Was it emotional when manager Bruce Bochy told Vogelsong the ball would be his?Yes and no, Vogelsong said. It was, because of the path Ive been on. And no, because I went into this series with the mindset that I was going to do whatever was asked of me to do.The fact hes given me the opportunity to start a game is tremendous. Its exciting. its amazing for me, but I said this a couple days ago: Its not about me at this point. Its about the team and whats best for us.Bochy announced Vogelsong in the hours prior to Game 2 on Sunday. Shortly after the club landed in Cincinnati on Monday and prepared to take the field for a light workout, Bochy made it official that Zito would start in Game 4.Bochy, his staff and the front office agreed over the final week of the regular season that Tim Lincecum would be the one starter bypassed in this NL Division Series.Even though Vogelsong got tagged for a 10.31 ERA over a seven-start span in late August and September, he rebounded well and threw filthy stuff at times while allowing just one earned run over his final three outings.Vogelsong said the rough run was a mix of overthinking his mechanics and some bad luck on balls in play.But Im pretty happy with how I feel going into tomorrow, said Vogelsong, who turned down the option to fly ahead of the team.The Giants were 2-0 in Vogelsongs starts against the Reds this season, although he didnt factor in the decision either time. (Angel Pagans ninth-inning homer turned a loss into a victory in Vogelsongs start here April 26.) He had a 4.15 ERA over the two starts and allowed home runs to Jay Bruce (at Cincinnati) and Todd Frazier (at home).Vogelsong said he would take full advantage of the intelligence gained by watching the first two games, when Reds hitters prevented Matt Cain and Madison Bumgarner from recording an out in the sixth inning.Bruces homer off Cain, for instance, came when he got a fourth consecutive changeup over a span of two at-bats.Yes, I think we need to attack some people differently, said Vogelsong, who will put his trust in catcher Buster Posey. I have trusted him all year and he and I will talk about things tomorrow and try to come up with a good game plan and hopefully, that works.--Tim Lincecum did not do any pre-throwing or get his arm loose out of sight Sunday. He really did throw just two warmup pitches off a bullpen mound -- in front of the rubber, actually -- before he was summoned amid confusion to take the mound in the sixth inning.Asked again about the odd start to Lincecums rare relief appearance, in which he threw two scoreless innings, Bochy said Lincecum assured them he was OK to take the mound.We placed him on toss (in the bullpen) and he assured Righetti, Im good to go. Im ready to go, Bochy said. And he got confused there because he thought we were waiting for the pitcher to get up.Lincecum made the standard number of warmup pitches on the game mound before retiring six of the seven batters he faced. Perhaps he told Righetti he would be fine, assuming he still had more time to get loose?Im not going to get into that, said Lincecum, when asked about it after Mondays workout at Cincinnati.Bochy said the cold start might have benefited the former ace, who has struggled to repeat his delivery all season.It probably worked well for him, Bochy said. There wasnt a lot of thinking going on and he had some of his best stuff in terms of command.Maybe so. And maybe Lincecum is called The Freak for a reason.But hes still owed 22 million next season. So the Giants should count themselves lucky if they emerge from this with perhaps some hurt feelings and nothing else.--I hadnt appreciated what a tremendous all-around player Brandon Phillips was till I watched him on a playoff stage over the past two games. From diving to back up first base to doing the Bernie Lean to avoid a tag and defuse a potential double play to the more traditional stuff, like playing great defense or hitting a tone-setting, two-run home run. Phillips really does it all.Ill let Dusty Baker explain it. He does a better job than I ever could.Its hard to find that energy with talent. Sometimes you can find that energy, but without talent it doesnt do any good. He sparks us on the field, off the field, on defense, on offense. And he can do many things to beat you. Like the other night when he avoided that tag That goes unnoticed but we notice it. Going first to third, taking pitches or not striking out very much -- here is a guy who can do almost anything on a baseball field.Hes the only person that Ive had probably other than Barry Bonds that can bat anywhere in the lineup and feel comfortable doing that.Ive seen a growth. Hes one of our leaders here. We have a lot of leaders in a lot of departments, but The B is The B. Ive seen him grow big-time since Ive been here. When I first got here, I was having to spank him once a month, you know what I mean? Now its probably once every three months.
EXTRA BAGGS: Giants turn to Vogelsong, more on Lincecum confusion

'Easy Money' Ends for Asia Airlines as Cargo Slows
Asian airlines expect cargo demand to slow as rising U.S. inventories and waning growth in Europe curb shipments of electronics and luxury goods.
Korean Air Lines Co., the world's largest international cargo carrier, said demand will fall this month because of rising stockpiles of liquid-crystal display televisions, computers and MP3 players. Increases in yields, a measure of rates, are also likely to "moderate in the near term," said Singapore Airlines Ltd.'s cargo arm, the fourth-largest.
Freight demand may wane after U.S. retailers' inventories climbed to an 18-month high in September, helped by restocking that drove a 28 percent jump in Asia-Pacific carriers' cargo traffic through October. Europe's economic growth may slow to 1.8 percent next year, according to the International Monetary Fund, while tighter lending in China may sap demand for shipments of luxury goods in the world's most populous nation.
"The easy money has been made for cargo operators," said K. Ajith, an analyst at UOB-Kay Hian Research Pte in Singapore. "Things are not hunky-dory in Europe and unemployment is still high in the U.S. Growth for cargo in the first two quarters of next year is going to be unremarkable."
Both Korean Air and Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd., the world's second-largest international air-cargo carrier, get about 30 percent of revenue from freight.
Cathay tumbled 7.2 percent in Hong Kong trading today, the most in more than a year, to HK$22.00. The carrier has jumped 52 percent this year. Korean Air fell 1.1 percent to 71,300 won in Seoul. It's gained 30 percent this year. Singapore Air declined 2 percent. It's risen 3.5 percent this year. In New York, FedEx Corp. has climbed 12 percent this year, while Delta Air Lines Inc. has jumped 15 percent.
Freight Slows
Asia-Pacific airlines' freight growth has slowed after a "sharp rebound in global trade" caused demand to surge earlier in the year, the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines, which represents 15 carriers, said in a Nov. 24 statement. In October, cargo traffic rose 17 percent from a year earlier, compared with a 39 percent jump in May, according to the group. The region's carriers fly about 40 percent of world air-cargo, it said.
Southeast Asia-Europe cargo yields have fallen 45 cents per kilogram from a high of about $3 earlier in the year on a seasonally adjusted basis, according to the International Air Transport Association. The decline takes yields to 11 percent below the pre-recession peak, the group said.
Global air-cargo demand growth may slow to 5.5 percent next year from an expected 18.5 percent this year, the group said yesterday. Yields will be little changed, it said. Asia-Pacific airline's profits will fall 40 percent next year to $4.6 billion, the group said.
Overcapacity Concerns
"We are concerned about global overcapacity next year but believe the market will absorb the capacity," said EVA Airways Corp., Taiwan's second-biggest carrier. Asia-Pacific carriers boosted cargo capacity 15 percent in October from a year earlier, according to the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines.
Holiday season demand this year will likely slow from last year, according to Korean Air, as European governments tackle deficits and after U.S. unemployment climbed to the highest since April last month. Europe, where a debt crisis prompted bailouts of Greece and Ireland, remains in a "troubling" situation, IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn said on Dec. 8. The U.S. economy is barely expanding at a sustainable pace, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said this month.
"Global consumer spending hasn't fully recovered yet amid ongoing fiscal tightening policies and still low employment rates," Korean Air said in an e-mail reply to Bloomberg queries.
'Leveled Off'
Demand growth has "leveled off in recent months" and the seasonal peak in the quarter ending in December is unlikely to be as "pronounced" as last year's, Singapore Air's cargo unit said. A year earlier, demand was surging as retailers restocked in anticipation of an end to the global recession and a rebound in consumer spending.
Asiana Airlines Inc., South Korea's second-largest carrier, said holiday cargo demand this year is weaker than in 2009 partly because the global economy hasn't recovered as strongly as expected. The introduction of more direct China-U.S. flights is also sapping transshipment traffic, the carrier said.
This year's pickup in airfreight has caused Korean Air to forecast record annual volumes. Cathay Pacific, which may surpass Korean Air as the world's largest international cargo carrier this year, is expecting a record annual profit, helped by rising freight and passenger demand, as well as asset sales.
Cathay Pacific
Cathay's cargo traffic jumped 24 percent in the first 11 months. The Hong Kong-based airline carrier expects its cargo fleet to be "pretty busy for the whole of next year" helped by Chinese exports and the use of long-term contracts with freight forwarders, outgoing Chief Executive Officer Tony Tyler said in a Nov. 25 interview. The carrier is also increasing cargo capacity by under 10 percent, less than it expected, because of delays in receiving new Boeing Co. 747 freighters.
Hong Kong, which neighbors the Pearl River Delta, China's main manufacturing hub, is on course to surpass Memphis, Tennessee as the world's busiest air-cargo airport this year. Memphis is the home to FedEx's main hub.
China Slowdown
Hong Kong has benefited from Chinese exports and rising inbound shipments of luxury handbags from Europe and of fresh foods from Australia and Asia as China's growing number of millionaires stokes demand for higher price items. This demand may slow next year as the government tightens lending and winds back stimulus measures to cool inflation after consumer prices climbed 5.1 percent in November.
"When you have higher prices across China, it's hard to believe that conspicuous consumption can continue to grow," said UOB-Kay Hian's Ajith.
The slowdown in China and cooler demand in the U.S. and Europe means that air-cargo carriers are unlikely to match the pace of demand they have seen this year, said Rohan Suppiah, an analyst at Kim Eng Securities Ltd. in Singapore.
"The rate of growth in cargo demand will be lower next year than in 2010," he said. "We have already seen the big recovery in cargo."

Der Aufenthalt in der geräumigen und ruhig gelegenen 3-Zimmer Wohnung war sehr angenehm. Alle möglichen Haushaltgeräte waren vorhanden. Toll! Die Lage ist einmalig. Ruhig gelegen, Sowohl die Altstadt wie auch der Hafen, Strand usw. gut zu Fuss erreichbar.
Als einzigen Kritikpunkt erlauben wir uns die Sauberkeit im Bad zu bemängeln.
Audrey ist eine unkomplizierte, liebenswürdige und zuvorkommende Person. Sie war innerhalb einer Viertelstunde vor Ort, obwohl wir eine spätere Ankunftszeit vereinbart hatten.Toll! Herzlichen Dank!!
Wir waren zu dritt im Januar in Nizza. Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit. Die Wohnung ist hell und freundlich. Der Ausblick ist einfach toll. Man wohnt in einer schönen, ruhigen Gegend - idealer Ausgangspunkt um Nizza und die Küste zu erkunden. Das Bad ist schon etwas betagt, dafür ist die Küche mit neuen, sehr guten Geräten bestückt. Audrey ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit - sie spricht auch gut Englisch.
Wir haben hier eine sehr schöne Zeit verbracht. Die Wohnung entspricht der Beschreibung und liegt in einer sehr schönen Umgebung von Nizza. Der Hafen und die Promenade sind bequem zu Fuß erreichbar. Von der Terrasse hat man einen wunderschönen Blick auf das Mittelmeer.
Die Vermieterin ist sehr nett und zuverlässig. 100 % Weiterempfehlung.
Wonderful place!
Me and my friends had a great time staying here and would highly recommend it to anyone. Audreys mother where the one we meet up with for the key and she where helpfull whenever we needed our entire stay.
Were met by Audrey's mother who lives in the building. Very friendly. Apartment very clean and spacious. Beautiful view. Pool nice. The code for the top secure parking did not work for us, so park in the bottom parking, which is on the street. Certainly not a 5 minute walk to the Promenade from here(as previous reviewers stated), not even a 5 minute drive. Would say at least a half hour walk. Closest shop for conveniences 5 minute walk. Be careful, the roads are narrow, and the people drive fast. We recycled our glass, tins and cardboard at the bins close to the local shop, as recycling not big in France. Local pizza restaurant(open every day) and fish restaurant(Thursday, Friday and Saturday only) very good value and good quality.
I spent a wonderful time in Nice. The apartment is close to beach and city center in Nice. You can go to most place by walk. A lot of restaurant, shops is near apartement. The apartment is very spacious and well equipped (washing machine, dishwasher). Host (Audrey) is very obliging and helpful. Prepare a map of the city with places to visit. I would recommend this apartment to everyone who wants to spend time in Nice or as a base to places outside the city.
Audrey was very helpful, speaks good English and met us late in the evening on our arrival. A beautifully located apartment for the old town with fabulous views, and the off road parking is a real bonus. However there are a series of about 50 steps from the car park to the apartment and about 100 further steps in the 200 metres to the harbour side. Not a problem for us but if you have a dodgy hip or knee or very young children this might not be the place for you. You have to walk from the bedroom through the lounge/diner to get to the kitchen and bathroom and both the bathroom and kitchen need serious updating. The kitchen is tiny and gloomy and probably fitted in the 1970's. It has no extractor and although clean, it smells of stale cooking oil. The bathroom is clean but the shower is inadequate and small, in front of a window and with a grotty shower curtain . There are no thermostatic controls on the shower and you could burn yourself with the hot water. We probably would return here because of the location but the Italian owner needs to spend some money on the place.
The apartment was amazing and exactly as described by Audrey. Every amenity you can think of was available and my daughter and I enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect, 5 min walk to Promenade Anglais or to the bus station to get into the city or anywhere else. Even the Futon beds that I was not convinced of before worked quite well. Audrey was very flexible regarding our arrival and departure time, very helpful and resolved the WLAN connection problem within minutes.
Great location and magnificent view over Nice and Villefranche. Wonderful large balcony. Kitchen equipment could be a bit better but that's not a big deal.
Great apartment in a great part of town. The apartment was very clean and Audrey was very helpful recommending things to do in Nice. I would definitely stay there again.

I've been using the Lenovo ThinkPad X301 for almost three weeks now so before too long I'll have to return the eval unit I have. With that in mind I thought now would be a good time to run down all of the pro and cons for the unit I have.
You'll be happy to know there are very few cons. But price cannot be overlooked. The machine I have on the lenovo.com buying site goes for a little over $3000. I don't know about you, but for that price I'm going to shop the market heavily before I drop that kind of change on a machine.
The Machine Specs
I have an evaluation unit with the Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor SU9400 with ultra low voltage, dual-core, Intel HD Boost, 800MHz system bus, and 3MB L2 cache. 4GB PC3-8500 1066MHz DDR3, non-parity, dual-channel memory in the two 204-pin SO-DIMM sockets. 13.3" (338mm) WXGA+ (1440×900) TFT color, anti-glare, LED backlight, 300 nits, 16:10 aspect ratio, 250:1 contrast ratio screen. Integrated camera on top of screen, 1.3-megapixel, fixed focus. Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD (GMA 4500MHD), in GS45 External monitor support via analog DB-15 connector or DisplayPort; Maximum external resolution: 2048×1536@75Hz. It has the 64GB SSD drive and has the DVD drive in the fixed bay slot. The rest you can see in the ThinkPad specs in tabook.pdf.
Battery Life
When I wrote the first impressions blog post about ten days ago, I had not tested the battery life. I have tested it a few times over the course of the past couple of weeks and at first I thought I was getting terrific battery performance. You see, I made a mistake.
I thought I was using the 3 cell battery. But in fact when I started checking the specs in tabook.pdf, I noticed this model ships with the 6 cell battery. So I flipped the machine over and popped the battery out. Sure enough, the part number matches the 6 cell battery part numbers. I don't know. Is 4 hours of continuous use good for a 6 cell X300 or X301 battery? According to the Lenovo website, I should be seeing 4.3 – 10 hours of battery life. I am barely making 4 hours hours so I don't see how I am supposed to make 10 even with the DVD drive pulled and a battery in it's place. Especially since it's only a 3 cell battery. And just in case you are wondering, I am using the Max Battery Life power management profile with battery stretch turned on. The only real modification to the environment I made was to turn the LED brightness up since I can't read and type at the level that profile uses.
Makes you wonder how much power is used by the screen. There sure seems to be a discrepancy from the Lenovo published results and my actual results. Another battery test I did over the course of a couple of days was the sustained DVD playback torture test. The Lenovo ThinkPad X301 lasted only 2.5 hours in my tests. Not exactly great. Plan on using a airplane adaptor for long flights.
The LED Backlit Screen
The 13.3 LED backlit screen is super bright. In fact, unless it's daylight or you're in a well lit room, it's probably too bright. I always knock the brightness down a level or two via the FN+END hot key combo. Which brings me to a complaint about the T400, W500 and now the X301. The brightness controls are no longer as granular as they are with the T61p and other models. With the T61p, I knock the brightness down 6-8 clicks. On the models I am complaining about, that's 2 clicks. See what I mean? It's more difficult to reach a desired comfort level because the difference in each click is much greater with the backlit LED screen controls.
When you don't run the LED backlit screen at full power and brightness, you will lose some color and contrast. It isn't that bad, but I really noticed it when I used the X301 for 6-8 hours then switched back over to my T61p. The other thing to remember that when running battery stretch mode, Windows Vista Aero Glass is disabled and you are set at a 16 bit color depth. I can live with that on a temp basis but I would not want to run like that all the time. I have not tested to see how big a contribution this makes to power savings.
All in all, I like the 1440×900 LED backlit screen resolution. You'd better like because other than the keyboard, it's one of the things you use most with the machine. On a personal basis I now prefer 15.4 widescreen laptops with a native resolution of 1680×1050. It seems to fit my eyes the best at this point in my life. This is something each of you is going to have to decide on as well. 1440×900 on a 13.3 is a good resolution but it may not be suited to you.
Cooling on the X310 is impressive. I have not been using my Targus heat guard the entire time I've been using this machine. My surmise is that the SSD storage cuts the heat considerably. That and the thermals associated with the CPU and GPU chipsets. If you like to use a laptop on your lap while wearing shorts, you are going to like this machine. Nice and cool.
64GB SSD Storage and Performance
I'm sure one of the reasons this machine stays cool, and cost more is the SSD drive. It's also one of the reasons the machine is virtually silent even when starting or launching apps. It's really weird not to hear the tell tale sounds of a hard drive actuator arm moving and seeking those luscious sectors on the platters we have grown to love and loathe. One of the beauties of a hard drive that is on it's way out is the fact many of them sound like it long before they fail. What does a SSD drive sound like before it fails. Or does it just suddenly have a heart attack? According to my reading, these drives will in theory last longer due to fewer moving parts. Er, make that no moving parts.
Take a close look at the Windows Vista WinSAT test results in the screenshot just above.. As you can see, the SSD drive is fast. It scored a 5.9 on the "disk" test that was performed. A lot of people don't know this, but faster hard drives can have a more dramatic impact to performance than CPU or RAM in many cases. And the cool thing, pun intended, about SSD drives is that they are fast, consume less energy, give off less heat, are quiet, etc.
The Intel SU9400 CPU isn't any slouch either. As you can see above, it scored a 4.6 on the WinSAT test. Not bad. Not as fast as my T61p's T7500, but this is a small ultralight machine. The net effect is a great Windows Vista environment with and overall score of 3.8. You'll notice the Intel integrated graphics chipset holds the score back some, but I haven't observed any significant problems with the speed of the graphics. I'm not playing Crysis either.
This little machine should have no problems running the usual business applications we all know and love. Office 2007 runs very nicely. I have not tried any resource intensive apps like a video editor or something else that is going to work over the CPU. It should handle email, spreadsheets, presentation software, web surfing, etc. in stride.
The Keyboard
The Lenovo ThinkPad X301 retains the legendary keyboard feel associated with the ThinkPad heritage. It's a full size keyboard and has nice area from the front edge of the machine to the keys to rest your hands. This is also the location for the built-in speakers and it had me wondering how much dirt is going to accumulate as a result of being in such close proximity to your hands. By the way, the speakers are pretty good. Nice and loud for such a small pair.
Unfortunately Lenovo did not backlight the keyboard. I'm still on the fence for the whole backlighting issue. It sure looks cool but how necessary is it really? It would sure come in handy for long flights on dark planes, or texting in a closet, but where else? Anyway, Lenovo still has their famous keyboard light available via the FN+PgUp key combo.
Case Construction and Ports
The X301 case is plenty sturdy. The backlit LED panel lid doesn't seem as strong as the lid on my T61p. It could be my imagination because according to the Lenovo website it's made of carbon fiber. The carbon fiber design is supposed to be strong and reduce weight. It has more flex than I am used to, but it's probably nothing to worry about. The rest of the case is solid as a rock.
The ThinkPad X301 has no shortage of ports. Along the back are ports for USB, VGA, Display Port, Ethernet and the wireless on/off switch. On the left side there are two USB ports and jacks for a microphone or headset. The left side also has the SSD drive cover and bay. There are no ports on the front or right side.
This machine is an awesome little machine. Fast, light, cool running, great screen, awesome keyboard, etc. If you need a great machine and can afford this, I don't think you'll have any problem sleeping at night over your purchase. I sure wish I could keep it, but I need to ship it back soon.

Personally I'd choose the first one.
Invinsibility and ability to teleport anytime
first one.

First one.
By "Invinsibility," do you mean invisibility or invincibility?
Originally posted by Team_USA:By "Invinsibility," do you mean invisibility or invincibility?
Wow, thank you for that mistake, I didn't see it. I meant invisibility.
The first one would probalbly come in handy more often. So that.
I change my mind, I thought you meant immortal.
If i could read minds, i could interact with people more easily, as well as finally find out if certain people are misguided or actually stupid. Flying would be a nice bonus, allthough i do not know how exactly you imagined it, i'll assume it's a reliable non-exhausting fast travelling method which would allow me to go anywhere i wanted to
First one. The guy that can fly and read minds without some gimmic magic is gonna hit the government fast, and goodbye freedom, hello painful experimenting.
Teleporting has many useful purposes, and invisibility (assuming it can be used at will) can make peeping much more easy.
Why would you need to fly when you can just teleport there?
I choose invisibility/teleport
Invisibility and teleport. I could do so many perverted things with that.
And benefit society, but whatever.
Reading minds would allow me to shore up my own weaknesses, but I'd prefer the ability to teleport and be invisible.
The things I could access, the things I could do.
Besides, the mind is the one private space I would never violate.
Reading minds and flying.
reading minds and flying.
First one would be good, aside for it to be useful you'd have to be naked.
First one
The first one. The ability to teleport at anytime would mean you could essentially fly anyway.
First one, definitely.

40 CFR 86.099-17 - Emission control diagnostic system for 1999 and later light-duty vehicles and light-duty trucks.
prev | next
(a) All light-duty vehicles and light-duty trucks shall be equipped with an on-board diagnostic (OBD) system capable of monitoring, for each vehicle's useful life, all emission-related powertrain systems or components. All systems and components required to be monitored by these regulations shall be evaluated periodically, but no less frequently than once per Urban Dynamometer Driving Schedule as defined in appendix I, paragraph (a), of this part, or similar trip as approved by the Administrator.
(b) Malfunction descriptions. The OBD system shall detect and identify malfunctions in all monitored emission-related powertrain systems or components according to the following malfunction definitions as measured and calculated in accordance with test procedures set forth in subpart B of this part, excluding those test procedures described in § 86.158-00. Paragraph (b)(1) of this section does not apply to diesel cycle light-duty vehicles or diesel cycle light-duty trucks, except where the catalyst is needed for NMHC control. Paragraphs (b)(2), (b)(3), and (b)(4) of this section do not apply to diesel cycle light-duty vehicles or diesel cycle light-duty trucks.
(1) Catalyst deterioration or malfunction before it results in an increase in NMHC emissions 1.5 times the NMHC standard, as compared to the NMHC emission level measured using a representative 4000 mile catalyst system.
(2) Engine misfire resulting in exhaust emissions exceeding 1.5 times the applicable standard for NMHC, CO or NOX; and any misfire capable of damaging the catalytic converter.
(3) Oxygen sensor deterioration or malfunction resulting in exhaust emissions exceeding 1.5 times the applicable standard for NMHC, CO or NOX.
(4) Any vapor leak in the evaporative and/or refueling system (excluding the tubing and connections between the purge valve and the intake manifold) greater than or equal in magnitude to a leak caused by a 0.040 inch diameter orifice; any absence of evaporative purge air flow from the complete evaporative emission control system. On vehicles with fuel tank capacity greater than 25 gallons, the Administrator may, following a request from the manufacturer, revise the size of the orifice to the smallest orifice feasible, based on test data, if the most reliable monitoring method available cannot reliably detect a system leak equal to a 0.040 inch diameter orifice.
(5) Any deterioration or malfunction occurring in a powertrain system or component directly intended to control emissions, including but not necessarily limited to, the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system, if equipped, the secondary air system, if equipped, and the fuel control system, singularly resulting in exhaust emissions exceeding 1.5 times the applicable emission standard for NMHC, CO or NOX For vehicles equipped with a secondary air system, a functional check, as described in paragraph (b)(6) of this section, may satisfy the requirements of this paragraph provided the manufacturer can demonstrate that deterioration of the flow distribution system is unlikely. This demonstration is subject to Administrator approval and, if the demonstration and associated functional check are approved, the diagnostic system shall indicate a malfunction when some degree of secondary airflow is not detectable in the exhaust system during the check. For vehicles equipped with positive crankcase ventilation (PCV), monitoring of the PCV system is not necessary provided the manufacturer can demonstrate to the Administrator's satisfaction that the PCV system is unlikely to fail.
(6) Any other deterioration or malfunction occurring in an electronic emission-related powertrain system or component not otherwise described above that either provides input to or receives commands from the on-board computer and has a measurable impact on emissions; monitoring of components required by this paragraph shall be satisfied by employing electrical circuit continuity checks and rationality checks for computer input components (input values within manufacturer specified ranges), and functionality checks for computer output components (proper functional response to computer commands) except that the Administrator may waive such a rationality or functionality check where the manufacturer has demonstrated infeasibility; malfunctions are defined as a failure of the system or component to meet the electrical circuit continuity checks or the rationality or functionality checks.
(7) Oxygen sensor or any other component deterioration or malfunction which renders that sensor or component incapable of performing its function as part of the OBD system shall be detected and identified on vehicles so equipped.
(8) Alternatively, for model years 1999 and 2000, engine families may comply with the malfunction descriptions of § 86.098-17(a) and (b) in lieu of the malfunction descriptions in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section. This alternative is not applicable after the 2000 model year.
(c) Malfunction indicator light. The OBD system shall incorporate a malfunction indicator light (MIL) readily visible to the vehicle operator. When illuminated, it shall display "Check Engine," "Service Engine Soon," a universally recognizable engine symbol, or a similar phrase or symbol approved by the Administrator. A vehicle shall not be equipped with more than one general purpose malfunction indicator light for emission-related problems; separate specific purpose warning lights (e.g. brake system, fasten seat belt, oil pressure, etc.) are permitted. The use of red for the OBD-related malfunction indicator light is prohibited.
(d) MIL illumination. The MIL shall illuminate and remain illuminated when any of the conditions specified in paragraph (b) of this section are detected and verified, or whenever the engine control enters a default or secondary mode of operation considered abnormal for the given engine operating conditions. The MIL shall blink once per second under any period of operation during which engine misfire is occurring and catalyst damage is imminent. If such misfire is detected again during the following driving cycle (i.e., operation consisting of, at a minimum, engine start-up and engine shut-off) or the next driving cycle in which similar conditions are encountered, the MIL shall maintain a steady illumination when the misfire is not occurring and shall remain illuminated until the MIL extinguishing criteria of this section are satisfied. The MIL shall also illuminate when the vehicle's ignition is in the "key-on" position before engine starting or cranking and extinguish after engine starting if no malfunction has previously been detected. If a fuel system or engine misfire malfunction has previously been detected, the MIL may be extinguished if the malfunction does not reoccur during three subsequent sequential trips during which similar conditions are encountered (engine speed is within 375 rpm, engine load is within 20 percent, and the engine's warm-up status is the same as that under which the malfunction was first detected), and no new malfunctions have been detected. If any malfunction other than a fuel system or engine misfire malfunction has been detected, the MIL may be extinguished if the malfunction does not reoccur during three subsequent sequential trips during which the monitoring system responsible for illuminating the MIL functions without detecting the malfunction, and no new malfunctions have been detected. Upon Administrator approval, statistical MIL illumination protocols may be employed, provided they result in comparable timeliness in detecting a malfunction and evaluating system performance, i.e., three to six driving cycles would be considered acceptable.
(e) Storing of computer codes. The emission control diagnostic system shall record and store in computer memory diagnostic trouble codes and diagnostic readiness codes indicating the status of the emission control system. These codes shall be available through the standardized data link connector per SAE J1979 specifications incorporated by reference in paragraph (h) of this section.
(1) A diagnostic trouble code shall be stored for any detected and verified malfunction causing MIL illumination. The stored diagnostic trouble code shall identify the malfunctioning system or component as uniquely as possible. At the manufacturer's discretion, a diagnostic trouble code may be stored for conditions not causing MIL illumination. Regardless, a separate code should be stored indicating the expected MIL illumination status (i.e., MIL commanded "ON," MIL commanded "OFF").
(2) For a single misfiring cylinder, the diagnostic trouble code(s) shall uniquely identify the cylinder, unless the manufacturer submits data and/or engineering evaluations which adequately demonstrate that the misfiring cylinder cannot be reliably identified under certain operating conditions. The diagnostic trouble code shall identify multiple misfiring cylinder conditions; under multiple misfire conditions, the misfiring cylinders need not be uniquely identified if a distinct multiple misfire diagnostic trouble code is stored.
(3) The diagnostic system may erase a diagnostic trouble code if the same code is not re-registered in at least 40 engine warm-up cycles, and the malfunction indicator light is not illuminated for that code.
(4) Separate status codes, or readiness codes, shall be stored in computer memory to identify correctly functioning emission control systems and those emission control systems which require further vehicle operation to complete proper diagnostic evaluation. A readiness code need not be stored for those monitors that can be considered continuously operating monitors (e.g., misfire monitor, fuel system monitor, etc.). Readiness codes should never be set to "not ready" status upon key-on or key-off; intentional setting of readiness codes to "not ready" status via service procedures must apply to all such codes, rather than applying to individual codes. Subject to Administrator approval, if monitoring is disabled for a multiple number of driving cycles (i.e., more than one) due to the continued presence of extreme operating conditions (e.g., ambient temperatures below 40 °F, or altitudes above 8000 feet), readiness for the subject monitoring system may be set to "ready" status without monitoring having been completed. Administrator approval shall be based on the conditions for monitoring system disablement, and the number of driving cycles specified without completion of monitoring before readiness is indicated.
(1) Upon determination of the first malfunction of any component or system, "freeze frame" engine conditions present at the time shall be stored in computer memory. Should a subsequent fuel system or misfire malfunction occur, any previously stored freeze frame conditions shall be replaced by the fuel system or misfire conditions (whichever occurs first). Stored engine conditions shall include, but are not limited to: engine speed, open or closed loop operation, fuel system commands, coolant temperature, calculated load value, fuel pressure, vehicle speed, air flow rate, and intake manifold pressure if the information needed to determine these conditions is available to the computer. For freeze frame storage, the manufacturer shall include the most appropriate set of conditions to facilitate effective repairs. If the diagnostic trouble code causing the conditions to be stored is erased in accordance with paragraph (d) of this section, the stored engine conditions may also be erased.
(2) The following data in addition to the required freeze frame information shall be made available on demand through the serial port on the standardized data link connector, if the information is available to the on-board computer or can be determined using information available to the on-board computer: Diagnostic trouble codes, engine coolant temperature, fuel control system status (closed loop, open loop, other), fuel trim, ignition timing advance, intake air temperature, manifold air pressure, air flow rate, engine RPM, throttle position sensor output value, secondary air status (upstream, downstream, or atmosphere), calculated load value, vehicle speed, and fuel pressure. The signals shall be provided in standard units based on SAE specifications incorporated by reference in paragraph (h) of this section. Actual signals shall be clearly identified separately from default value or limp home signals.
(3) For all emission control systems for which specific on-board evaluation tests are conducted (catalyst, oxygen sensor, etc.), the results of the most recent test performed by the vehicle, and the limits to which the system is compared shall be available through the standardized data link connector per SAE J1979 specifications incorporated by reference in paragraph (h) of this section.
(4) Access to the data required to be made available under this section shall be unrestricted and shall not require any access codes or devices that are only available from the manufacturer.
(g) The emission control diagnostic system is not required to evaluate systems or components during malfunction conditions if such evaluation would result in a risk to safety or failure of systems or components. Additionally, the diagnostic system is not required to evaluate systems or components during operation of a power take-off unit such as a dump bed, snow plow blade, or aerial bucket, etc.
(h) Incorporation by reference materials. The emission control diagnostic system shall provide for standardized access and conform with the following Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) standards and/or the following International Standards Organization (ISO) standards. The following documents are incorporated by reference. This incorporation by reference was approved by the Director of the Federal Register in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR part 51. Copies may be inspected at Docket No. A-90-35 at EPA's Air docket (LE-131), room 1500 M, 1st Floor, Waterside Mall, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC, or at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). For information on the availability of this material at NARA, call 202-741-6030, or go to: http://www.archives.gov/federal_register/code_of_federal_regulations/ibr_locations.html.
(1) SAE material. Copies of these materials may be obtained from the Society of Automotive Engineers, Inc., 400 Commonwealth Drive, Warrendale, PA 15096-0001.
(i) SAE J1850 July 1995, "Class B Data Communication Network Interface," shall be used as the on-board to off-board communications protocol. All emission related messages sent to the scan tool over a J1850 data link shall use the Cyclic Redundancy Check and the three byte header, and shall not use inter-byte separation or checksums.
(ii) Basic diagnostic data (as specified in § 86.094-17(e) and (f)) shall be provided in the format and units in SAE J1979 July 1996, E/E Diagnostic Test Modes.
(iii) Diagnostic trouble codes shall be consistent with SAE J2012 July 1996, "Recommended Practices for Diagnostic Trouble Code Definitions."
(iv) The connection interface between the OBD system and test equipment and diagnostic tools shall meet the functional requirements of SAE J1962 January 1995, "Diagnostic Connector."
(2) ISO materials. Copies of these materials may be obtained from the International Organization for Standardization, Case Postale 56, CH-1211 Geneva 20, Switzerland.
(i) ISO 9141-2 February 1994, "Road vehicles—Diagnostic systems—Part 2: CARB requirements for interchange of digital information," may be used as an alternative to SAE J1850 as the on-board to off-board communications protocol.
(i) Deficiencies and alternate fueled vehicles. Upon application by the manufacturer, the Administrator may accept an OBD system as compliant even though specific requirements are not fully met. Such compliances without meeting specific requirements, or deficiencies, will be granted only if compliance would be infeasible or unreasonable considering such factors as, but not limited to, technical feasibility of the given monitor, lead time and production cycles including phase-in or phase-out of engines or vehicle designs and programmed upgrades of computers, and if any unmet requirements are not carried over from the previous model year except where unreasonable hardware or software modifications would be necessary to correct the non-compliance, and the manufacturer has demonstrated an acceptable level of effort toward compliance as determined by the Administrator. Furthermore, EPA will not accept any deficiency requests that include the complete lack of a major diagnostic monitor ("major" diagnostic monitors being those for the catalyst, oxygen sensor, engine misfire, and evaporative leaks), with the possible exception of the special provisions for alternate fueled vehicles. For alternate fueled vehicles (e.g., natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, methanol, ethanol), beginning with the model year for which alternate fuel emission standards are applicable and extending through the 2004 model year, manufacturers may request the Administrator to waive specific monitoring requirements of this section for which monitoring may not be reliable with respect to the use of the alternate fuel. At a minimum, alternate fuel vehicles shall be equipped with an OBD system meeting OBD requirements to the extent feasible as approved by the Administrator.
(j) Demonstration of compliance with California OBD II requirements (Title 13 California Code Sec. 1968.1), as modified pursuant to California Mail Out #97-24 (December 9, 1997), shall satisfy the requirements of this section, except that compliance with Title 13 California Code Secs. 1968.1(b)(4.2.2), pertaining to evaporative leak detection, and 1968.1(d), pertaining to tampering protection, are not required to satisfy the requirements of this section, and the deficiency fine provisions of 1968.1(m)(6.1) and (6.2) shall not apply.

Charity swim feat will take Dubai girl all around the world
An expat who is in training for a marathon swim round Dubai's World islands announced her route on Monday.
Kate Willoughby, who is swimming to raise cash for the fatal childrens' disease Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, which her six-year-old nephew Harrison has, will set off from Baja California Island at dawn on November 21.
From there she will pass South America, Antarctica, New Zealand, Tokyo, Siberia, Greenland and Alaska before returning to her family 10 hours and 25km later.
Brit Willoughby (pictured, second) said: "It certainly has been a challenge and at times the long hours of training have been lonely and hard. But I have been so fortunate that throughout this last year I have received incredible support from family, friends and the Dubai business community.
"I feel so lucky to be able to undertake this unique swim and use an iconic and well-known Dubai landmark to raise awareness and money for a little-known illness. I am particularly grateful to Nakheel as there has been a lot of logistics and planning involved."

Bird Flu (cont.)
Bird Flu Symptoms in Humans
Patient Comment Read 1 Comment
Humans get bird flu through close contact with sick or dead poultry or poultry markets in countries (mainly Asia, Europe, the Near East, and Africa) known to harbor the virus. Infected people experience typical flu-like symptoms, including
Some people also have symptoms of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or eye infections. Children and even animals (dogs, cats, and other mammals) may develop similar symptoms. This infection can progress to pneumonia and respiratory failure. In fact, bird flu is much more fatal in humans than is normal human influenza.
Bird flu causes a very aggressive form of respiratory flu that progresses quickly to ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome) and a potentially lethal viral pneumonia.
More than half of people who have contracted bird flu have died according to the records that have been kept since 1997.

To His Majesty
The King of Jordan
King Abdullah the Second
The Government and Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan
To be presented the 25th of May 2011
The 65th Independence Day of the Kingdom of Jordan
As the cries for democracy reach us from Tunis, Egypt, and all around the Arab world, we call upon the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan to declare itself the democratic nation state of the Palestinian people.
80% of the population of Jordan are disenfranchised Palestinians. This declarative step would correct that injustice and provide the foundation for a just, comprehensive and lasting peace between the Jewish and Arab peoples.
The late Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin wrote: "A Palestinian State can be created only on the ruins of the State of Israel".
That needn't be the case. That shouldn't be the case.
Let Jordan be democratic and free, and let the Palestinian people accept upon themselves the full mantle and responsibility of democratic statehood in Jordan - without the destruction or diminishment of the state of Israel and without the physical transfer of any population, neither Jew nor Arab.
We the undersigned, citizens of the world, representatives of hundreds of thousands around the world, ask the Government of Jordan and King Abdullah the Second, to proclaim the Hashemite Kingdom the democratic nation state of the Palestinians, and with this symbolic and declarative step, make a decisive contribution to Middle East and world peace.
We remind you of the brave words of your father:
"I wish democracy and peace to be my legacy to my people and the shield of generations to come." - King Hussein I of Jordan

Sunderland's relegation troubles increased as a solid West Ham side won 2-1 at the Stadium of Light.
Andy Carroll did not endear himself further to Sunderland fans as he put the visitors ahead before the 10-minute mark. A fine headed goal, the ex-Newcastle striker got away from his marker John O'Shea and fired the ball past the helpless Vito Mannone.
O'Shea did not have a happy match, and was riled in the first half by referee Howard Webb's failure to award a penalty when the ball appeared to strike Kevin Nolan's elbow in the area.
West Ham doubled their advantage on 51 minutes as Mohamed Diame's shot was deflected off Santiago Vergini, leaving the goalkeeper with no chance.
Adam Johnson came off the Sunderland bench shortly afterwards, and injected new life into a frustrated and demoralised side. He grabbed a goal back, thanks to a fabulous first touch allowing him to blast past Adrian's despairing right hand into the top corner of the net.
Johnson improved the performance of a line-up that was industrious yet lacklustre, but even his revitalising influence could not create an equaliser.
9' - GOAL! Sunderland 0-1 West Ham: Carroll gets his head to it! He gets away from John O'Shea, Vito Mannone can't leave his line, and Andy Carroll puts the visitors in front.
25' - CHANCE! Long ball forward towards Wickham, looping over Reid's head, but the Sunderland man can't control it and it's through to the keeper.
37' - CHANCE! George McCartney puts a cross in from the left and again Carroll gets his head to it, but it's straight at the goalkeeper.
50' - GOAL! Sunderland 0-2 West Ham: The free-kick is hoisted forward, Carroll knocks in down, and Diame's shot is deflected by Vergini into the net.
60' - CHANCE! What a chance! Stewart Downing comes in down the right, narrows the angle on Mannone, and lets fly - and it zips past the far post. Did the goalkeeper get a touch on that? There's no corner awarded.
65' - GOAL! Sunderland 1-2 West Ham: Well, it was always going to be Adam Johnson who made the difference. Fantastic first touch from him, sending a screamer past Adrian, diving to his right.
70' - CLOSE! What a chance! Borini has outwitted Demel, and fires hard and fast and beating Adrian - into the side netting.
Sunderland have not won a Premier League match in which they were behind at half-time since 11th December 2011, when they beat Blackburn 2-1 at home.
Sunderland have not come back from a goal down to win a Premier League match since 19th January 2013.
West Ham have now won five of their last 30 Premier League away games (W5 D7 L18).
West Ham avoid losing three consecutive Premier League away matches for the second time this season, and extend Sunderland's winless streak to six Premier League matches.
Sunderland have won only one of their last nine Premier League home matches.
Was that a penalty when the ball struck Kevin Nolan's elbow? Video slow-motion replays indicate that perhaps it should have been - and perhaps that might have made the difference for Sunderland.
Kevin Nolan (West Ham) - the captain led his resilient side well on a tough evening.
SUNDERLAND: Mannone 7, Bardsley 7, Alonso 6, Brown 6, O'Shea 5, Vergini 5, Ki 5, Bridcutt 6, Cattermole 5, Borini 6, Wickham 6; Subs: Gardner 7, Johnson 8, Scocco 6
WEST HAM: Adrian 7, Demel 6, Tomkins 6, Reid 5, McCartney 6, Noble 6, Nolan 7, Taylor 6, Downing 6, Carroll 7, Diame 6; Subs: Armero 6, Johnson 6, Nocerino 6

The link to Math gets me to Mathematics, not the son of Mathonwy. This needs to be fixed.
- Someone's fixed that so the link doesn't go to Mathematics anymore. There's now a page for Math (Mabinogion), but as of this writing it's still empty of content. Oska 10:28, Oct 25, 2004 (UTC)
- The link now goes to the proper page, Math ap Mathonwy
The article states the Mabinogion is based on "early medieval historical events." What exactly is meant by this? To say that there's anything historical about the Mabinogion, besides a few fictional versions of historical figures, seems a very odd claim. Toastedcheese 23:52, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Separated off the Four Branches[edit]
The article was unbalanced by the long (though excellent) description of one part, the Four Branches . I moved it to its own page, along with a warning that the summary gives away basically everything that happens.

How do you pronounce Mabinogion?[edit]
"ma-bin-OG-yon", more or less. --Nicknack009 09:16, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
- So is that with a plosive /g/ or an affricate /dʒ/ or a fricative /ʒ/? I've always assumed the last of these, and wondered if I was quite wrong. It would be super if someone could put a proper IPA transcription into the article. --184.108.40.206 --Doric Loon (talk) 11:07, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
- It's the plosive plosive /g/. I'll have a go at an IPA transcription. --Nicknack009 (talk) 21:44, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, thanks. --Doric Loon (talk) 08:25, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
Origins of the Maponos argument[edit]
The Maponos argument is first attested to in W. J. Gruffydd's Folklore and Myth in the Mabinogion, based on a lecture delivered in 1950. Hamp's earliest attested publication on the subject is in 1954... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 18:01, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
The Owl Service[edit]
Don't know if anyone is familiar with the novel or indeed the TV adaptation, but it claims to be a modern-day story based on The Mabinogion. It centres around the story of Bloduwedd. Does she actually appear in the Mabinogion, as I don't see her name mentioned here (or any of the other characters, Gyffes, Gronwy)?--Tuzapicabit (talk) 00:00, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
I have only heard in passing of the novel, but yes- Bloduwedd does appear in the Mabinogion. In the tale of Math (which has several episodes) she is created from flowers by Gwydion and Math as a lover for their nephew Llew (Llew Llaw Gyffes). His mother had bitterly sworn a fate on him that he could have no mortal woman. Her name approximately means "flower face" hence the owl association.
link rot[edit]
The link to the PDF of Lady Guest's translation doesn't work. http://www.wyldwytch.com/weavings/reading_room/books/celtic/mab.htm 220.127.116.11 (talk) 15:08, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
"Welsh Deities??"[edit]
It could be said that the only well-attested to instances of ANY known non-christian deities worshipped by the Welsh are those named in inscriptions on Romano-Celtic altars.
I would like to see some serious discussion on the merit of the nearly universal custom of elevating to god/goddesshood virtually any of the primary characters in the stories of the Welsh corpus. Earrach 3/26/07
The idea that the stories are derived from pre-Christian stories separate from folklore is flawed. Wales had been fully Christianized for centuries before the Arthurian romances so the only traces of mythology would be in the folklore, and thus claiming that they are from pre-Christian mythology, folklore is flawed. We might as well say that anything, such as Robin Hood or Ivanhoe, are based on pre-Christian mythology as they have as much elements of pre-Christian traditions as Arthurian romances. It would be better to just say folkloric sources rather than pre-Christian and folkloric sources.18.104.22.168 (talk) 09:18, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
- You may well be right. However, Wikipedia works on verifiability rather than original research. The policy states: "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth—whether readers can check that material in Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether editors think it is true." The citation at the end of the paragraph is to the BBC, here, which says: "The tales, which are outwardly concerned with the lives of various Welsh royal families - figures who represent the gods of an older, pre-Christian mythological order - are themselves much older in origin.". Should you find a reliable source that says the tales are nothing to do with pre-Christian mythology, please add that to the article, as all valid viewpoints should be noted. Nevertheless, a reliable source says the stories eminate from pre-Christian sources, so it will continue to say that in the article. Daicaregos (talk) 10:02, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
In popular culture, or whatever...[edit]
Referenced to in the anime 'Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai!' In which it refers to a binder containing a printed out blog, and contains the magical rants of a middleschooler plagued with 'Eight Grade Syndrome'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 22:23, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
Number of stories: eleven or twelve?[edit]
It says twice in the article that the Mabinogion contains 11 stories or tales. And yet, when listing the individual stories, the article gives four branches of the Mabinogi, five native tales, and three romances, for a total of twelve. Should the article be changed to state that the Mabonigion contains twelve stories, is there something I'm missing? (This article is the first I've ever read about these stories, so I'm very hesitant to change the text in case for some reason two of the stories are counted as one or something). biggins (talk) 19:05, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
- As the article says, the Tale of Taliesin is later and not from the same manuscripts, and not included in most translations. That leaves only four "native tales", and eleven overall. --Nicknack009 (talk) 19:18, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
Not Encyclopedic opinion[edit]
We are not supposed to be making comments on the quality of work:
- "fine quality storytelling" is not encyclopedic and there are other comments throughout this page. We need to turn this into quotations from appropriate people if we are attempting to establish the quality of writing.
