Denmark (Danish: Danmark), officially named the Kingdom of Denmark, is a Nordic country in Northern Europe. It is the furthest south of the Scandinavian countries, to the south of Norway and south-west of Sweden (which it is connected to by a bridge). It has a south border with Germany. It borders both the North Sea to the west and the Baltic Sea to the east. Denmark is a developed country with a large welfare state;[8] In 2006 and 2007, surveys[9] ranked Denmark as "the happiest place in the world," based on standards of health, welfare, and education.
The capital city of Denmark is Copenhagen, on the island of Sealand. Denmark is a constitutional monarchy (meaning the head of state is a monarch who has few established powers) with a queen, Margrethe II. Denmark is a parliamentary state, meaning the people appoint a parliament to make decisions for them, and it has a democratic government headed by an elected Prime Minister, who currently is Lars Løkke Rasmussen.
In geography, Denmark is the land in northern Europe, where the Danes live. In the political sense, the Kingdom of Denmark also includes the Faroe Islands in the Atlantic Ocean, and Greenland in North America. All three parts of the country have different languages and culture.
History[change | change source]
Denmark was first united in the 10th century, during the Viking period, by the king Harald Bluetooth (c. 985), who first converted Denmark to Christianity. The Vikings are well known for invading countries. In the 11th century, the Danish Vikings controlled England (the Danelaw) for a while. In 1397 Denmark, Sweden and Norway became a single country with one queen (this country was called the Kalmar Union) Sweden became a separate country again in 1523. Denmark and Norway (called Denmark-Norway) stayed united, until 1814. Denmark-Norway controlled many islands in the Atlantic Ocean, including the Faroe Islands, Iceland and Greenland. Iceland became independent from Denmark in 1944.
Denmark became a constitutional monarchy in June 5, 1849 when it adopted a constitution which took away powers from the King and gave rights to ordinary Danish people. June 5 is now a holiday in Denmark, called "Constitution Day".
Over the years Denmark lost many of lands that it controlled in battle. Denmark's biggest war defeat was the Second Schleswig War (in 1864) when the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein was conquered by the Kingdom Prussia (now a part of Germany). This was a big loss for Denmark and, consequently, it began a policy of neutrality after the loss, meaning it would no longer take part in any wars or support other countries. Denmark did not take part in the First World War.
On April 9, 1940, Denmark was invaded by Nazi Germany and the Nazis stayed in Denmark throughout World War II. During the war, in 1943, Danes helped over 8,000 Jews to escape from Denmark into Sweden after the Nazis tried to arrest them.
After the liberation of Denmark, one part of the country was not. That was the island of Bornholm. The German Commandant von Kamptz who was stationed there, refused to surrender to the Soviets as the German were fleeing to Bornholm and further to Sweden. The Soviets then bombed the two biggest towns Rønne and Nexø. After the Germans were captured on May 9, 1945, the Soviet Army occupied the island until April 6, 1946.
After World War Two, Denmark became a member of NATO and the European Union. Greenland and the Faroe Islands are now part of the Kingdom of Denmark and have their own governments and limited power.
Government and politics[change | change source]
Denmark has three branches of power; the judiciary (the courts), the executive (the Prime Minister and the cabinet) and the legislature (the Danish parliament). The current Prime Minister of Denmark is Lars Løkke Rasmussen, who was elected in June 2015.
Denmark is a Kingdom which means it has a monarch (a king or queen). The current monarch is Queen Margrethe II. Margrethe II does not have a lot of power (she does not make any important decisions) and has a symbolic role. Denmark became a constitutional monarchy in 1849.
Elections to the parliament are held every four years, and the winner of the election is the party or coalition which gets the most votes and seats in the parliament. After the elections are done, several parties who are in agreement will group together to form a coalition government, and the leader of the largest party becomes the prime minister.
Here is a short summary of the biggest political parties in Denmark, from left to right on the political axis:
- Red-Green Alliance (Danish: Enhedslisten), a communist party.
- Socialist People's Party (Danish: Socialistisk Folkeparti), a socialist party.
- Social Democrats (Danish: Socialdemokraterne), a left-wing party which is "social democratic" (slightly socialist).
- Danish Social Liberal Party (Danish: Det Radikale Venstre), a slightly right-wing liberal party.
- Venstre, Liberal Party of Denmark (Danish: Venstre), a liberal party.
- Conservative People's Party (Danish: Det Konservative Folksparti), a conservative party.
- Danish People's Party (Danish Dansk Folkeparti), a right-wing political party who dislike immigration (people from other countries who come to live in Denmark).
Welfare[change | change source]
Denmark, like the other Nordic countries. is well known for being a large welfare state.[8] The government provides many services to the public such as free health care, free education (school and college) and free housing for the poor. Danes pay high taxes to fund welfare.
Geography[change | change source]
- See also: List of cities in Denmark
Denmark is the smallest of the Scandinavian countries. The neighbours are Germany (to the south), Sweden (to the east), Norway (to the north) and the United Kingdom (to the west). The country is surrounded by the sea except for Jutland (Jylland), the largest part of Denmark. It is connected to Germany by land. To the south-east there is the Baltic Sea, to the west the North Sea, to the north the Skagerrak and to the north-east the Kattegat.
The western part of Denmark is the peninsula of Jutland (Danish: Jylland, pronounced yoo´-land), bordering Germany. This is the only part of Denmark that is not an island. The rest of Denmark includes 76 islands people live on, and many tiny islands. The largest islands are Zealand (Sjælland), and Funen (Fyn). To the east is the island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea, the only place in Denmark where the bedrock can be seen.
The country is quite flat. The highest hill or mountain is Møllehøj, which is 170.86 metres (560.56 ft) tall.[10] There are many small hills, lakes, creeks, forests and farmland. Denmark's shore line covers 7,314 km (4,545 mi).[11] Nobody in Denmark lives more than 60 km from the coast.
Climate[change | change source]
The weather in Denmark is quite windy and rainy. In the winter, it does not get very cold; in most years, there are only a few weeks of snow. Every ten years or so, the sea around the islands freezes over, but in most winters, it does not. The climate and topography are not good for winter sports.
Most summers are not very hot. People always dress to be ready for rain or wind. There are also very sunny times, but nobody can know ahead of time when these will be. The best time of the year for outdoor activities is the months of May and June until midsummer.
Regions and municipalities[change | change source]
Denmark is divided into five regions (Danish: regioner or region for one). The regions replaced the former counties (amter) in January 2007. The regions are in charge of hospitals and health care.
List of regions | |||||
Danish name | English name | Largest city | Population (1 January 2008) |
Area (km²) |
Pop. density (per km²) |
Region Hovedstaden | Capital Region of Denmark | Copenhagen | 1,645,825 | 2,561 | 642.6 |
Region Midtjylland | Central Denmark Region | Århus | 1,237,041 | 13,142 | 94.2 |
Region Nordjylland | North Denmark Region | Aalborg | 578,839 | 7,927 | 73.2 |
Region Sjælland | Region Zealand | Roskilde | 819,427 | 7,273 | 112.7 |
Region Syddanmark | Region of Southern Denmark | Odense | 1,194,659 | 12,191 | 97.99 |
Entire country | 5,475,791 | 43,094 | 127.0 |
The regions are then subdivided into municipalities (Danish: kommuner). There are currently 98 municipalities, but before January 2007 there were 275. The number of municipalities was decreased when it was decided that, to become more efficient, each should have a population of at least 20,000 .
People[change | change source]
The biggest part (90.5%) of Denmark's population of just under 5.4 million is of Danish descent, according to 2009 statistics. Of the rest 8.9% who are immigrants or descendent from recent immigrants, many come from South Asia or the Middle East. There are also small groups of Inuit from Greenland and Faroese.[12]
The Danes speak the national language, Danish, which is very similar to the other Scandinavian languages. Swedish and Norwegian are so close to Danish that most Danes understand them.
As well as Danish, most Danes speak a foreign language too, such as English, which is popular as an international language, or German. In the southern part of Jutland, a German minority speaks German. On the Faroe Islands, Faroese is spoken, and people living in Greenland speak Inuit.
Religion does not play a large part in the life of most Danes and church attendance is very low. However, even though many Danes are atheist, 80.4%[13] are members of the Protestant "Church of Denmark" (Danish: Folkekirke (The National Church) which is the official "state church" of Denmark. The National Church is Lutheran, which means it separated from the Roman Catholic Church in the 16th Century. Other important faiths include Judaism, Islam (the number of Muslims is increasing), other Protestant groups and Catholicism.
Transport[change | change source]
Because of the many islands, Denmark has many bridges. The main parts of the country, and most of the bigger islands, are connected by roads and railroads. One of the world's longest bridges connects the eastern and the western parts of the country, and there is a large bridge to Sweden also. There is still no bridge across the Baltic Sea to Germany, but it will most likely be built in a few years. The bridge to Sweden was expensive, took a long time to build, and required much planning by engineers.
There are still many islands with no bridges to the mainland. People have to go by boat or airplane to reach these islands. Many islands will never be reached by bridges, because they are too small or too far away. If the island has too few people, bridges are often not built because it is expensive to build. Somebody has to pay for it, nothing is free.
Cycling is very popular in Denmark because the ground is so flat. Copenhagen is a city that is very bicycle friendly, with bicycle lanes extending over 12,000 km.[14]
Culture[change | change source]
The people of Denmark have always depended on the sea. In earlier days, people could not travel anywhere unless they went by boat. Many Danes were fishermen or merchants. Even today, many Danes spend much time near or at the sea.
Farming has always been one of the main occupations. Because of the climate and the soil, Denmark is a good place for agriculture. Export of food to the neighbouring countries is one of the most important sources of income for the country. Danish hams and cookies are exported throughout the world.
Perhaps the most famous Dane is actually Hamlet, the title character of William Shakespeare's famous play, which was set in the real castle of Kronborg in Helsingør, north of Copenhagen. The play was based on an old Danish myth of the Viking Prince Amled of Jutland, and his quest for revenge against his father's killer. Another widely known Dane is Hans Christian Andersen, an author mostly famous for such fairy tales as "The Little Mermaid", and "The Ugly Duckling". Also Karen Blixen, Tycho Brahe and the philosopher Søren Kierkegaard are well-known world wide. There are many famous Danish scientists, including Niels Bohr, the famous physicist who developed the first working model for the atom, and Ole Rømer, who discovered the speed of light. Hans Kirk, although less well-known outside of Denmark, is the author of the best-selling Danish novel of all time, The Fishermen.
Music[change | change source]
Danes enjoy many different types of music, including ballets, jazz music, pop and rock. Denmark's most famous classical composer is Carl Nielsen. Famous Danish bands include Aqua, a pop band, and The Raveonettes, an indie rock band. The most famous Danish rock star is Lars Ulrich of the band Metallica.
Food[change | change source]
The cuisine of Denmark is like the other Nordic countries (Finland, Norway, Iceland, and Sweden), as well as that of northern Germany, consists mainly pork meat and fish. Traditional Danish food includes frikadeller (fried meatballs, often served with potatoes and various sorts of gravy). Fish is also widely eaten, especially on the west coast of Jutland.
Holidays[change | change source]
Christmas (Danish: Jul) is the main feast of the year. Christmas is traditionally celebrated on the eve, December 24, and this is when the main Christmas meal is eaten and presents are unwrapped.
In midwinter, a fast is celebrated. Children are dressed up, and go from house to house begging for money. This practice has in the recent years been taken over by Halloween, and most people give candy not money. A barrel filled with candy is smashed with clubs. The person who makes the candy fall out is appointed queen of cats and the person who hits the last stick is appointed king of cats.
Midsummer is celebrated with a huge bonfire in the evening of June 23. Most Danes have a three week summer holiday in July or August.

Sports[change | change source]
The most popular sport in Denmark is football (soccer). Sailing, swimming and other water sports are very popular because of the long coastline. Another common sport is cycling, (Copenhagen has been nicknamed the "City of Cyclists" because of the popularity of bicycles for moving around), which has become popular in Denmark partly because of the flat land all over the country. Indoor sports such as badminton and handball are also popular during the long winters.
Monarchy[change | change source]
Monarch is a word that means king or queen. Denmark is the oldest monarchy in Europe.[15] The current monarch is Queen Margrethe II, who has been the queen since 1972. Denmark does not currently have a King. Margrethe's husband is called a prince because he is the son-in-law, not the son, of the previous King. The royal couple have two children:
- Crown Prince Frederik who married an Australian woman named Mary, and have 4 children:
- Prince Christian
- Princess Isabella
- Prince Vincent & Princess Josephine (twins)
- Joachim married a British woman from Hong Kong but later divorced in 2005 after being married for 10 years. he has two sons:
- Prince Nikolai
- Prince Felix
In 2008 Prince Joachim married for the second time. His new wife is from France and is called Marie, with whom he has a son and a daughter.
- Prince Henrik
- Princess Athena

HOHHOT, China - 07 Mar 2011: IBM (NYSE: IBM) has announced the opening of its 30th branch office to date in China, in the City of Hohhot in Inner Mongolia. The office opening is part of a major geographic expansion initiative that IBM is driving to increase its presence in growth markets throughout the world. It takes the total number of IBM offices in growth markets to over 230 – an increase of 140 percent in the past 10 years.
"With over 230 IBM branches in 53 growth market countries, we are actively strengthening our ability to provide high-value solutions to our clients and partners in the fastest growing markets in the world," said Bruno Di Leo, General Manager, IBM Growth Markets Unit. "China has long played a valuable role in IBM's business. As we expand our operations into new territories, it continues to provide a valuable source of growth and skills for the company."
With China's rapid economic growth over the past 20 years, Inner Mongolia has grown in strategic importance providing important links with Russia and Mongolia. The new branch office in Hohhot will best serve the needs of IBM's clients in the region. IBM already serves a number of key clients in Inner Mongolia spanning multiple industries including finance, telecommunications, healthcare, industrial and utilities. Having a direct presence in the region will not only allow IBM to increase its level of service to customers and partners, but allow it to deliver more complex and high-value solutions such as cloud computing and business analytics.
Another key growth area is the public sector where IBM is already cooperating with the Inner Mongolian government in the fields of e-government, skills development and Smarter Transportation. With the new office in Hohhot, IBM will be best positioned to help the Inner Mongolian government further strengthen its economic development and industrialization program especially in the establishment of IT parks. Leveraging IBM's expertise in cloud computing technologies, the Inner Mongolian government is looking at offering IT services to enterprises and organizations across China to spark a new wave of economic development in the region.
IBM has operated in China since 1979 when it shipped an IBM 370/138 mainframe server to Shenyang Air Blower Factory. In the mid to late 1990s, IBM was the first multinational company to establish joint venture plants in China and to set up R&D operations with the establishment of the IBM China Research Laboratory (CRL) in north-west Beijing. More recently, IBM opened a Global Rail Innovation Center, the IBM Analytics Solution Center, the IBM China Institute of e-government and the IBM Energy & Utilities Solutions Lab in the country. Shanghai is also the headquarters of IBM's Growth Markets Unit.
The new office in Hohhot was inaugurated at a ceremony last Friday attended by Mr. Zhao Shuanglian, Vice-Chairman, of the Government of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region; Mr. Gang Buhe, Deputy Mayor of Hohhot City and Mr. DC Chien, General Manager, IBM Greater China Group.

One of the toughest matches I've had in this league and it was against hu mans! AH played well and this could have ended the otherway around aswell. Biggest mistake for me was the failure to notice the one turn TD capability of the human catcher who ofcourse capitalized on it for 1-1. Anyhow very enjoyable game overall!

At TV1000 I like nothing more than facing off against Lizardmen, who are limited with with no handling or blocking skills. The plethora of human re-roll skills really give them the edge. Once there's some development though those Sauruses become monsters and the Skinks are slippery bastards. Even though there was a 400 TV gap between us I was worried.
I think my worry caused me to over commit on your drive, and then I forgot about your wizard on my drive. So lucky he only knocked over my thrower. But those turns of madness with the ball intercepted, crowd throw, loose thrown fumbled picked up knocked dow and finally recovered by Man Skink were just crazy nuts. I thought I had it twice. I now realsie I should have picked up the ball with Grayland and handed it off rather than just stood over the ball. But that's a pure hindsight call. Seemed like the right move at the time.
Just lost 2-0 in a completely fucking nuffle match against Mr Weasel.
Too pissed off to post about it, I'll leave the gloating to him.
Division B Week 3
Red Skull Reavers (Chaos, Pres Weasel) 2 - 0 Dead Comics Society (Khemri, JayTee)
He's not wrong there. The game was effectively over by around turn 10, despite JayTee not doing anything on the pitch that anyone could point to as bad play. His tomb guardians, despite being impressive on paper (one of them has strength 6!), failed to break much armour on the pitch or achieve more than a stun on the few occasions they did. The Reavers, on the other hand, were having a good day with the armour dice, and even though the khemri regenerated a surprising proportion of the injuries it still left them off the pitch (I think the only one they failed to regen from was a broken collar bone to a low SPP blitzer). Also the tomb guardian who was KO'd early in the first half slept through the entire rest of the game, which tilted the strength scales nicely in my favour.
I went into the second half one nil up and kicking to the Khemri, expecting the usual unstoppable grind with tomb guardians smashing my players aside as I fruitlessly try to stop them. I took a short kick, partly to try to keep the ball away from his kickoff return player, and partly in the hope that I could bum rush the ball before he could pick it up and form a proper cage - and I got a blitz. Since I was already planning to rush the ball I had my entire team set up forwards, and I managed to get about two thirds of a cage around the ball before it had landed. Nuffle even gave my sure hands player a 6 for the catch to rub it in; it really wasn't JayTee's game.
He did manage to get the ball carrier down, but the ball spilled quite kindly for me and I got it back and kept it for the rest of the game while JayTee's team got whittled down by the chaos. The last 6 or so turns can't have been any fun for JayTee as he had fewer and fewer players, and the Khemri's abysmal agility gave them little chance of getting free and hitting the ball player. They did manage to foul Professor Brian Cox, Str 5 chaos warrior and TV science presenter, off the pitch, but he was just badly hurt and I was happy to see him get out of a Khemri game without being stat injured.
My minotaur, bought in a fit of depression after another poor season and called "NOTHING ELSE HAS WORKED", had one of his best ever games - so I thanked him by firing him. 2110 TV is frankly ridiculous, and I shouldn't need him next season. When the dice are with you, they're with you - I rolled double 6 on War Face's level up, and now have two Str 5 chaos warriors.
It's promotion time again in the Red Skull Reavers rollercoaster ride through the Divisions.

Div A will have to be defaulted I'm afraid. Jarvis asked to pass before New Year due to illness, but I've hung on mentioning it here to give him maximum opportunity to change his mind if he started feeling better. Unfortunately he hasn't so please roll us on to day three, and get well soon Jarvis.
Division 2 - Global Warping 0-1 Dwarven Giants
A depressing game for the rats. First half saw half the team depitched in KO's, no realistic shots at the carrier and a wizard going 0/3 on knockdowns. However Snoozer gave up a surefire TD attempting to handoff behind a screen and my big hand rat whisked it away. There was still a chance for a score but the rats had done enough the previous turn and Snoozers freak runner fumbled the pass.
Second half the rats spent a couple of turns trying to get something free downfield to get their noses in front but the dwarf defence was solid. However a few turns in the dwarf defence had mostly shifted right and the skaven dived down the left with the ball in the hands of the thrower and most of the rest of the team running interference. A slightly fortuitous 1d block snapped the neck of the blodge vermin and with the team mostly tied down the thrower had to go right to the sideline caged by two gutters. A similarly fortuitous 1d block freed up another gutter and got the freak runner marked up. However this didnt stop him making multiple dodges and GFI's to surf the thrower. With the ball landing by a dwarf and the team all marked up it was hero play time and the AG5 runner made his own set of multiple dodges to pick up the ball but failed the pass to an unmarked AG2 linerat who would have scored (a pass blocker made it more difficult by marking the receiver but itwould have failed anyway) Freak runner swooped in and scooped up the ball, firing a pass to a blitzer waiting downfield and that was the game.
Probably could have won had I planned the turn following the thrower surf better but I didn't so I didn't. After consecutive seasons against them I pray to Nuffle I don't face them again next season. Dwarves are a bad matchup for Skaven but these stat adjusted freaks are horrendous! 5 SPPs from the match and they fell on a rookie linerat didnt exactly cheer me up either
The "Tzeentchian Spirits" Faced the other (high)elves "All the shinies", they had more loners(1 vs 3), we had more blodge(3 vs 1), I was quietly confident. Early on he used up his wizard knocking out a lineman, and that didn't stop me scoring.
But his Blodgeman could do no wrong, time and time again he would blitz himself free or dodge to a score, Its not like I didn't score myself but I couldn't stem the tide, it wasn't even a game of disgusting helf passes, indeed every pass was a safe 2+ which might as well have been a handoff.
So, then in the last few turns when I sit a 4 elf cage on his blodger(including 2 blodgers) I dared hope he'd roll a push or a BD... or Tzeentch forbid some skulls. instead he manages a chain of 2 die blocks, all without rerolls and then dodges away to score... 3-2 to "All the shinies"... Yerp.
I should be glad I wasn't further injured I guess, a mv9 catcher took a niggle which I'm sure will hang over his career and a lineman took a retirable -st. And the good news was i took a much larger cut of the earnings and i can now buy my third catcher (named obsession) so I wont miss my injured one next match too much.
Most notably 2 of my linemen leveled up, previously I only had 1 lineman level and he got guard. These 2 were both regs, any suggestions? I'm thinking wrestle or block, maybe to stop them getting knocked over, but I guess dodge is okay about that too.I am once again writing a blog, vaguely about playing games the wrong way

I always take dodge first on my high elves.
Kick, if you don't have it.
Depends how well developed the teams you're facing are - lots of tackle? Skip dodge and go for wrestle. Otherwise dodge is a solid choice to aid with repositioning and keeping your team vertical. Kick i'd rather leave for the backup thrower as it leaves your linos to do what they're made for - taking hits and getting in the way.
I'll hold off, until I see who I'm facing next season... Unless I face dwarves I guess double dodge.

Well, actually my pass to set up the two-turn winner at the end was a 3+ :-P
Quite chuffed to finally get a win for my Helfs after 6 matches, especially after Helio scored on my initial drive despite me wasting the Wizard trying to stop him. Managed two-turn touchdowns at the end of each half when I really needed them, thanks to my heroic blodge blitzer.
Not enough for me to persevere with the team though. I'm rerolling with something a bit punchier next season.
First lineelf to get a normal skill is always kick for me.

For the first I'd take kick if you don't have it. Wrestle or dodge would be my standard, but side step is an exotic alternative (probably better if you already have some developed linos).
In other news Brain and I played our Div 1 day 3 game. Final score was 2-1 to my necros over his elves, but that doesn't really tell the whole story. The whole game was played in a blizzard and I manged to murder 3 of his players (apo saved 1) including his agi5 blitzer. With a steady stream of KOs and injuries I was able to stall in the first half until turn 8 (he recieved so only got 1 roll on KOs and chance to change weather) and in the second half I scored comfortably. Brain scored a 2 turn consolation TD on turn 15 and that was it.
Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

Well it finally happened. My Pro-elf team, the mighty Masquerade Ballers have been killed! PD's Necro's now have two new players and I have lost my star blitzer (AG5, blodge, tackle, DT). I had decided that when I lost one of my blitzers (Along with my kicker, the only original team members) it would be time to hang up the teams pointy toed boots. I'm now polishing the pointy toed boots of a brand new Delf team to start the New Year with. Still AG4 but with a bit more punch and a little more armour. Now I just need to figure out how the hell I change the spreadsheet.
As for the match, PD won 2-1, killed three of my players (one apothed to BH) and generally tore me a new one. OUCH!
Edit: I've made changes to the spreadsheet for my new team which I think should be ok. I put in the new name and the race in {}.Last edited by The Brain; 05-01-2013 at 09:01 PM.

Problem with high elf lino with kick is he has be off the LoS to use it. Often not where you need him to be. That said, kick is phenomenally useful for any elf team.

I am thinking of kick on my defensive thrower, rather than a Lino. Otherwise it's hard to fit all 4 catchers on the pitch.

300 Producers Developing Caesar Trilogy
Posted on Monday, May 17th, 2010 by David Chen
According to Deadline, Gianni Nunnari and Mark Canton, the men behind 300, are producing a new historical drama based on Conn Iggulden's Emperor series of books. If the film does well, it's likely that it will be the first in a trilogy. Nunnari and Canton are currently working on Tarsem Singh's The Immortals, which will see Greek warrior Theseus fighting against Titans.
Between 2003 and 2005, Iggulden published four books in the Emperor series: The Gates of Rome, The Death of Kings, The Field of Swords, and The Gods of War. The first book, Gates of Rome, covers the period from 92 B.C. to 82 B.C., as Caesar and his friend Marcus, who are just boys at the beginning of the book, grow up outside of Rome. The remaining books chronicle Caesar and Brutus's rise to power. Iggulden's books are bestsellers, but it's worth noting that they take substantial liberties with the historical source material.
Deadline asserts that the film might become a trilogy, even though there are four books. Given that the first book prominently features Caesar's childhood, it's possible that it could become compressed and combined with the second book for the final film. Obviously, other plot details could also be jettisoned favor of brevity, but either way, it'll be interesting to see where the first film (and where the potential trilogy) will choose to end the storyline, especially since most people already know about Caesar's ultimate fate.
Popular series like HBO's Rome and hit movies like 300, Gladiator, and Clash of the Titans have demonstrated that there's still a place in the market for the historical epic. Hopefully, Iggulden's creative liberties at the story level will allow the filmmakers to craft a fresh take on the subject.

Speaking of Wildlife
I took these pics from inside the door. Here's one of "my" squirrels grooming, it looks like.
Oh, it looks startled, now, and is trying to decide what to do.
It must be clean now.
and do some digging!"
Here is a shier one, friend or relative of the one on the porch. This one stayed further away, even though I was inside. I didn't get the shot of the two of them running away from what they were doing all of a sudden, to have a game of rough and tumble, then dash up the tree.

We haven't been consistent feeding the birds in the winter, but I've been thinking we should be. Last week, I bought a feeder that moves down and leaf decorations block the feeding spots when the weight of a squirrel is on it. We need to research what kind of seeds to put in it for our birds. Now, I'm wondering if the squirrels will just knock the feeder down, and eat the contents when they spill.
ReplyDeleteI just looked up what kinds of squirrels we have in Nebraska, and the fox squirrel images looked like the ones we have. I don't think we have the red ones here, but we are supposed to also have greys, but like the reds, they have a lighter tummy than the ones we have. Thanks for helping me learn more about our critters sweet bay!

Anybody got any good crackpot theories?
I come up with crackpot theories all the time. Not the paranoid bluster of people like truthers and birthers. Science theories. Science... crackpot... bluster. I know just enough about science to consider a wide array of things and not enough to eliminate anything. Perfect! I thought it might be interesting to see what kinds of ideas the people of the moron horde might come up with.
How about raising Venice?
The power of fracking machines is incredible. Fracking works by cracking open rock thousands of feet below with pressure applied from above. Beau coups pressure. Part of fracking involves injecting sand to hold open the cracks once the pressure is released. This gives hydrocarbons a path out of the production zone.
An idea occurred to me long ago while watching a show about sinking Venice. They could drill a several dozen injection sites all around the city. Once drilled, the sites could be made inconspicuous when the drills are removed. They could place powerful injection pumps at these sites. Instead of injecting massive amounts of water, inject sand and water. Tons of sand. Inject an entire desert of sand, slowly, over time. Sand holds up better than clays and would result in a porous, strong layer of sand through which water cold easily migrate. And in the case of Venice, you probably wouldn't even have to fracture rock--you know, rock-rock. Prolly just weak sedimentary rock.
On the surface, you would have disguised pump stations working 24 hours a day. They would draw water from the lagoon. Dump trucks full of sand would occasionally appear to keep the machines supplied. Most of the noise from the engines could be cleverly absorbed and/or shielded. If sound was still a problem, you could turn off the pumps when necessary, say, in the evenings.
Regardless, you could build up huge plumes of uncompressable sand at the injection point of each well. Over time, these would become large enough to raise the entire city out of the mud. This could be done evenly with computerized monitoring of city levels.
This seems like such a no-brainer, so I looked it up. I found an article at NatGeo where they were discussing injecting water only. Water? Yeah, that might work for a period of time, but it wouldn't be nearly as reliable as sand injection. Water moves around. And away eventually.
Imagine how much they could raise the city in ten years.
They could keep the wells in place turn them on and off as necessary for decades to come; after all, the the sinking clays around the sand plumes underground might require occasional puffing-up. After a while, the problem disappear completely.
If anyone knows why this wasn't started 30 years ago, let me know.
Oh, even more crackpot?
How about space travel? Everyone knows the current limitations: Chemical fuel is too heavy; it takes too much, and not enough bang for the buck, etc. We can't do exotic things like interstellar ramjets that suck up fuel along the way (hydrogen) and fuse it into helium. We can't do fusion. We can't bend space or create wormholes, and I hate theories that invoke some form of as-yet-undiscovered unobtainium (magic steel) that enables us to do so. Those theories work like this: 1) Build a ship. 2) ???? 3) Space travel! Besides, bending space can be hard on your joints. Might as well dive into a black hole and hope for the best.
Silly stuff.
My theory has to do with quantum entanglement. When particles are entangled, they share a state no matter how far apart they are. Whatever you do to one, the other reacts instantly. What if you could entangle large chunks of matter, say, two plates of (okay, magic steel), and then put one on the spaceship and one on Earth. You could bombard the one on Earth with photons which are absorbed and then re-radiated. When re-radiated, the photons would radiate from both plates, albeit at a lower frequency. A single photon would be split into two, essentially, one re-radiating here; the other, there. In this way, you could put all of the bulky, energy-producing apparatus on Earth and not in the spaceship. All of the fuel would be on Earth as well. When the spaceship needs to go, all you do is bombard the plate on earth with energy. Part of the energy re-radiates from the plate on the spaceship. Voila!
I need to give it a name: Brewer-o-Drive. Yeah. Naa, heh. Silly. How about "quantum drive"? No, seriously, you have to call it Brewer-o-Drive. I like that. It has a nice ring to it, a ring that includes my name. I'll sue if I have to.

total coolness.
I'm a sucker for silhoutte dancers.
Yes, very smooth dancers esp for an 8bit. Btw,. in the YAPE emulator it crashes in the middle and displays some wrong gfx, I am wondering if I could watch it in full somehow.
nicely made "state of the art/9 fingers" remix but somehow, it should have been shorter. It's getting boring pretty fast. Thumb up anyway for the nice graphics and the effort. Music is not my cup of tea.
Optimus: it's a trackmo, that means you need to set the real 1541 CPU emulation in YAPE, (settings/Drive 8 setup/). How many times I'd written this sentence on Pouet, counting this too? :)
I dance with my thumbs up !
First and foremost this reminded me (once again) about how much I truly hate State Of The Art and 9 Fingers. That said, the dancers were indeed very smooth, so thumbs this time for technicality - not demostyle.
THUMB, I said, damnit!
Thumb up for using breakdancers!
great stuff
c16!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xD
Great Work!
The stly is not really my cup of tea, also the background pictures could have been, at least a bit adjusted. Well, i also didnt like the music much, but otherwise it was a nice demo. :D
Larry and chronos are kings and thumb to yahhhh!!!!!
Ok, pretty nice and smooth animations.
But it seems like a bad copy from the archetype on amiga. The combination and selection of animation clips appears random. The overall feeling is that of a tech demo (aka coder porn), but since it tries to be more it just seems awkward.
Sorry, I know I should cheer for this obscure platform.

what jb lamarck said.
I enjoyed it.
seems great, of what little i was able to see.
FoolMan: as just explained before, you only need YAPE V0.75 emulator set to real 1541 CPU emulation (settings/Drive 8 setup/).
YouTube video:
Thanks for the video, although I has'nt been able to reproduce the same SID emulation both on YAPE and VICE. Hope that one was correctly set to TED timing...
I like the Plus4 more and more.
Good job.
probably could have done with being shorter. anyhow...
Very solid. Stilll, animation only is not quite enough for me.
It's unbelivable! Great work.
Looks pretty nice
Really good sync and tune - after I finally found how to enable the SID card ;-)
rocks indeed.. plus4 for teh win..
Enjoyable production.
Slightly mixed feelings ... It's probably a bit too much of the same, but i've never seen anything like it yet on the Plus/4, so i like it.
state of the art/9 fingers remake on Plus4! /:D/
the tune and the dancers and the dolphins totally rock!!
the tune and the dancers and the dolphins totally rock!!
Not bad.
does not work on my real plus/4
ok, shitpissfuck, one of my drives is broken,
works perfectly now
great demo!
works perfectly now
great demo!
Cool, really cool.
What Cygnus said.
Cool demo.
Cool demo.
Unbelievable!! Thumbs up!!
Lets party!
I just love this demo!!
woow awesome.
that was quite stunning.. the plus4 equivalent of state of the art?!?!
download link is dead.. had to watch the video :(
It seemes to me that I missed this nice piece of code until now... great work!
top work! :O
Great stuff. I remember watching some other 8bit 'state of the art-alike' some time back, but it was nowhere near as good looking as this. Maybe it was on a slower platform though.
nice attempt, but the backgrounds are so static :/
It's ok.
yay state of the art for PLUS4
pretty decent SOTA on C16, great work :)
even with all the animations, this still rocks hard!
nice show!

if this prod is a fake, some info is false or the download link is broken,

Your paintings that I've missed are all as beautiful as ever Lin! I loved your French window...you may just as well have been with me on my trip to the south! And then I love your trumpet vine loosely interpreted. But I understand what your husband meant, I think I will also miss the Lin-paintings if you changed style..it is you, and it is beautiful!

A Good Balance
Today I took the kids to a splash pad for some fun and sun.
We also had "school time," practicing their letters. I'm not sure why they think school involves standing on the table, but...whatever helps them learn?
I'm going on two and a half years now as a stay-at-home mom, and I think I've finally reached a good balance. A balance of outings with friends and family time. A balance of crazy physical activity and quiet learning moments.
And, a balance in our diets, as well. As longtime readers know, I was vegan for a year and a half before returning to my lifelong vegetarian ways a few months ago. It's working for us. Sometimes, we have margharita pizza...with plenty of cheese.
Many nights, however, I still cook vegan. Most of my cookbooks are vegan, and I love trying out new recipes, like Hayley and Ian's Peanut Butter Pasta from Garden of Vegan.
Still, I'm happy with the vegetarian label. Veganism was an interesting experiment, but a difficult one for me personally because my husband isn't vegan. While he's always complimented my cooking, he's happier now that I'm including cheese and eggs from time to time. He knows I'm never going to cook him a steak, but he's okay with that. It's our compromise. As in all things in life, it feels good to find a balance.
garden of vegan,
5 comments:
Ha! My daughter used to stand on the table too! Love it! I'm glad you have found the right balance. I guess I have too. I've decided that "vegan, dabbling in macrobiotics" might be a good label for what I'm doing, which basically means vegan plus fish sometimes. Basically, I just eat what my body wants. It feels healthiest this way. Keep up the good work!

Story Highlights• Mark David Uhl's intended target is unknown• ABC News reporting his goal: Ensure protesters don't disrupt Falwell funeral • Uhl's family members called police, said he mentioned explosives • Authorities found six explosive devices in 19-year-old Uhl's car Adjust font size:
LYNCHBURG, Virginia (CNN) -- A first-year Liberty University student was arrested in what police said was a plot to detonate explosive devices Tuesday, the day of the Rev. Jerry Falwell's funeral. Mark David Uhl's intended target is unknown, authorities said. ABC News reported the youth told authorities he had made the bombs -- which were found in his car -- to stop protesters from disrupting Falwell's funeral. (Read the story about Falwell's funeral) Police received a call about 11 p.m. Monday from one of Uhl's family members, who said they had talked with him and he had "mentioned some explosive devices he had made," said Maj. Steve Hutcherson of the Campbell County, Virginia, sheriff's office. Authorities found in Uhl's vehicle "what appeared to be about six explosive devices" that had detonation devices with them, Hutcherson said. The homemade devices were canisters with some kind of liquid inside. A Virginia State Police bomb squad was summoned to ensure the items were safe, he said. Uhl, 19, from Amissville, Virginia, was arrested at the home of one of his friends in Campbell County, near Lynchburg, Hutcherson said. He was being held without bond in the Campbell County Adult Detention Center on suspicion of manufacturing explosive devices. "Anytime you have somebody with what appears to be explosive devices, you have to take that threat seriously," Hutcherson said. Browse/Search

I agree with you, he couldn't have known for sure as Joyce has said repeatedly it was the 97% votes at the board meeting, the day before, and the ensuing threats from the unions that made him go to a lockout. Had they got over 30% of the vote at the board meeting, or decided to accept the shareholder's position then the outcome would have been different.

When you introduce 70's legislation that t-rex himself would have put in the history basket then you have to clean up your own mess.
I agree with your point otherwise. The profit motive had Virgin circling and ready to fill the void within weeks, the 2 illiberal premeirs in NSW and Vic were worried about the bottom line of their state budgets and as Shorten said 'grandstanding' by going to the press before their letter his the PM's desk, it was hardly a 'national tragedy' or affecting our national reputation.
I also call Bull**** as it barely made the news in Europe other than to warn passengers, did anyone in Aus know that Air France had to ground 1/5th of it's fleet after strikes this week or in anyway hold this against the nation of France? Given international news on average consumes about 15s of a bulletin, it's no wonder the media can pull such shenanigans.

InDesign FX: Creating a Theater Marquee
In this week's InDesign FX video, we're headed to the movies as I show how to create lettering that resembles a theater marquee.
This effect highlights one of the ideas I keep coming back to in the InDesign FX series: in order to make a realistic-looking effect, you have to start with a real-life reference. So before I did anything in Adobe InDesign, I searched the web for photos of theater signs. I found many examples with thick translucent red plastic letters, hung from two rails stretching across the signs horizontally.
So this effect begins in InDesign with the sign background and the two rails. A small drop shadow is all that's needed to give the rails some depth.
Next, I add the lettering in a sans serif font and appropriate red color.
To make the letters translucent, I just reduce the transparency until the rails show through.
Adding Bevel and Emboss gives the letters a 3D look.
An Inner Shadow darkens all the edges of the bevel and further contributes to the feeling of depth.
The Satin effect adds variation to the red tones for a little bit more realism.
And finally, a red drop shadow completes the picture of the light shining through translucent red plastic.
One of the best aspects of this effect is that you still have live text at this point. So you can easily edit the text in your sign or tweak the spacing between letters to make it a little less perfect (and a little more like a real sign) with kerning and baseline shift.
I also have a member-exclusive video in the lynda.com library this week called Putting curved shadows on paper, which shows you how to create curved shadows that can instantly transform a plain old flat square into an attention-grabbing sticky note that appears to be curling up at the edges.
See you here again in two weeks with another InDesign effect!

Hello my sweeties! I am so sorry for not posting. I am so behind on all my swatching. My play is all next week (ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!) and we have all been busy building the set and rehearsing. I am so pooped I can't tell you! Anyway I have been wearing OPI's "You're a Doll" which I bought after seeing it on Katie's blog over at What Katie Did Her Polish (Thanks Katie!). I haven't worn a "subtle" polish in such a long time. It is so pretty and I absolutely love it. Please do go and see what it looks like over at Katie's blog (see my blogroll). I love the creamy colour with the tiny red flecks in it. I call it my secret polish! I feel like people see it as a neutral colour but I know that it has this little secret! OPI's "You're a Doll" has now become a new favourite. I love it. I can't describe how it makes me feel. Yes I can ..... it makes me feel like I have just discovered nail polish for the first time.
So I've been thinking. I want to know that last time a polish has made you feel like that. Do you remember when you discovered nail polish? Every so often I find a polish that replenishes that wonderful feeling. OPIs "You're a Doll" has totally recaptured that for me. So, what polish has made you "recapture that old feeling"?!

Dorothy Who?
I have collected polish before but somehow I stopped and even threw/gave away most of my polishes.
Then last year I was doing a Google search for something random and I stumbled upon a pic of Dorothy Who (old collection) on the nailphile and I fell in love again.
And now I own at least 200 polishes and I don't plan on stopping or throwing any of it away ever again! - 22 November 2009 at 00:27

Evilangel - I saw that one on your blog and absolutely loved that one. Really pretty. I can see why it rekindled the love!
Kirsten - I used to throw my polishes away too. I used to be a nail technician but had to give it up because of money and sold a lot of my stuff on ebay - one of my biggest regrets now! I had so many Orly and OPI products. I try not to think about it too much. It hurts!
gildedangel - I can see why. That one is really special. I am so glad I have that one in my collection.
I love that feeling though when, despite how long you have loved polish and been collecting them, you find a polish that resparks that old flame! - 22 November 2009 at 09:28
- Pinkginger said...
First off,this colour looks lovely on you :)
The polish that rekindled my love for lacquer was my very favourite OPI La Boheme.I was looking online for a place to buy it when I stumbled on my first nail polish blog! Not only did I find it on ebay for a reasonable price,I found an entire network of polish addicts.I've been (re)hooked ever since. - 22 November 2009 at 12:13
- Jodes said...
Hi Pinkginger. Thanks for your comments. I think you saw Katie's swatch over at What Katie Did Her Nails. That's not me. My application is nowhere near as perfect as Katie's! I love OPI's La Boheme it's such a beautiful colour. It is an addiction this polish collecting isn't it?! I mean, I am always looking for that perfect polish to re-ignite that fabulous feeling!
Thanks for commenting x - 22 November 2009 at 12:34
