KDE Gains Support for International Domain Names
Konqueror and the KDE base libraries in CVS now support domain names written with names outside the usual strict 7-bit ASCII letters. This means that one can now register and access domain names written in proper letters for almost all languages in the planet, not just English. Konqueror is among the first browsers to support this new technology, developed in cooperation with VeriSign which has also been cooperating with the Safari and Mozilla teams (Mozilla IDN announcement and explanation).
The support was added into our base libraries several months ago, but last bugs were trimmed out only about a month ago. In the mean time, the drafts provided to us have been made official Internet standards (RFCs) and domain name registrars are starting to sell domain names encoded in other languages.
Although we have done basic tests with Konqueror and other base applications and the code seems to work fine, we are still expecting bugs to surface and intend to squash them quickly. It's my expectation that we will fix everything by the time KDE 3.2 is released.
The support currently requires the GNU IDN Library to be installed on your system. If that is so and you're using CVS HEAD, you can test the support at the following addresses:
Please note that KDE only supports the standards-compliant Punycode encoding. The IDN testbed led by VeriSign used another encoding (RACE) which has since been deprecated. Konqueror will therefore not work on those domains.

Kidding aside. It's good to see new technology implemented that fast

For what it's worth, I'm French but I don't like using accents for Net purposes. I think it just makes things more confusing. *g* Hopefully the use of international scripts won't make things difficult for people with a different keyboard though...

How is a non chinese person going to visit a chinese website. all those strange characters are not on my keyboard. granted, i can't read chinese let alone write it but the internet should be open to everyone

Use a program for chinese input. For example, xcin and fcitx accept input in PinYin.

Re: Hevorragend! Ich reserviere schon mal...
you can have two domain for a single server : a full-ASCII domain name, and an international domain name.

It doesn't (at least for me), would be a nice feature request tho. ;)

Re: Hevorragend! Ich reserviere schon mal...
and how is a chinese person supposed to visit a website written in ascii - i.e. american encoding? is it a bit much to expect every computer user on planet earth to learn the roman alphabet?
okay, so their keyboards probably have ascii letters written on them anyway, and some chinese input methods actually rely on a knowledge of roman letter phonetics to work, but even this is a symptom of past narrow-mindedness on the part of the dominant american technology makers. technological development seems to be shifting to the far east - let's hope the chinese developers are more thoughtful or else we'll all have to learn mandarin pretty soon!
the vast majority of websites visited in the world are clicked-through hyperlinks rather than typed in anyway, and even if it does have to be typed in, there'll probably be an ascii alternative domain name.

Support throughout KDE?
And how is the support for these new URL's in other KDE applications? I mean, it's nice that the website can be reached, but can I also reach it's webmaster using KMail? Can I read their newsgroups in KNode?
By André Somers at Thu, 2003/07/10 - 5:00am
Re: Support throughout KDE?
As for the SMTP kioslave, that one should be IDNA-ready for months now.
To answer your question: Yes, you can send mail to [email protected], but not to @normaldomain.org.
By Marc Mutz at Thu, 2003/07/10 - 5:00am
Re: Support throughout KDE?
That depends if the application doesn't do anything funny with its URLs. The support is inside KURL and our DNS lookup functions. As long as the application doesn't try to do the lookup by itself and as long as it keeps the URL in Unicode, there should be no problems.
Of course, some protocols like SMTP and HTTP require the hostname being accessed to be transmitted over the wire. That's a protocol-specific implementation and has to be checked on case-by-case basis. HTTP and SMTP send the Punycode-encoded hostname, but other protocols could just send it in UTF-8 if they felt like doing so.
And while kio_smtp has been made working and I believe the other ioslaves are good to go, I'm not sure about KMail itself. I mean, it wouldn't stop you, but it's certainly nicer to see the properly decoded domain name in the KMail/KNode panes than the ugly Punycode domains.
By Thiago Macieira at Thu, 2003/07/10 - 5:00am
it seems ie supports this, too, at least mine does.
part from that, is there a place where you can already register .com and .de-domains with those special characters?
By me at Thu, 2003/07/10 - 5:00am
Re: ie
Currently you can't register such .de domains, see http://www.denic.de/doc/faq/domainregistrierung.en.html#r0011

I was pleasently surprised that KDE has only a run-time dependency on libidn for this feature.

Will khtml support xslt? Its actually coming into use on a few sites now. Its not going to go away....
Also, will ksvg be integrated into khtml ( by a plugin if DOM handlers can be dynamically registered ? ) for inline svg?
By rjw at Thu, 2003/07/10 - 5:00am
Cool but...
If your site isn't only for the audience of your country, most people will have problem to get on your site (I'm talking about win-users that don't even know what is a character map).
But anyway I think it's nice because most of navigation those days is by links (and not like the old days when I wrote urls on my journal) so it should not be a big problem, and for brazilian sites it would be a welcome news being able to create urls like: http://www.ação.com.br/

What I also like is what FFII.org does with internationalization.
and so on. This is very convinient and I would prefer a web browser standard that automatically picks up a page in the correct language, so you don't need script or additional tools.
By Bert at Thu, 2003/07/10 - 5:00am
Already exists!
Ever since 1.0, HTTP has had the Accept-Language header. The idea is that when a browser requests a file, it transmits this header with the language codes its user likes in order of preference, such as "Accept-Language: fr, de, en-au". It's then up to the server to decide what to do with the codes, and sadly most people don't configure their servers to pay attention to the header. (That's why you might't have heard of it).
Internet Explorer and Mozilla have supported this for many years, and both have sections in their preferences where you specify the languages you want and their order. As I recall, Konqi has supported this for ages as well (but OTOH I forget where the pref is for selecting your languages).
By azza-bazoo at Thu, 2003/07/10 - 5:00am
Re: Already exists!
IIRC, it just uses the fallback sequence defined in the KDE-wide language settings.

Re: international
wouldn't it be better if everything was just encoded in UTF8?

Kumo no hitomi (Eyes of the Spider) (1998)
Critic Consensus: No consensus yet.
Movie Info
When oddball auteur Kiyoshi Kurosawa received an eccentric offer to make two films in two weeks, on a low budget and using the same cast, the result was the cinematic equivalent of fraternal twins. Though both Spider's Gaze and Serpent's Path are gangster films about the desire for revenge, and both films feature a protagonist named Nijima played convincingly by Sho Aikawa, the two films are completely different in tone and plot. Nonetheless, they seem freakishly interlocked in ways that defy the conventionally linear relationship of a sequel, as each of these enigmatic, absorbing films elucidates and alters our understanding of the other. Spider's Gaze concerns Nijima, a white-collar worker who one day finds the man responsible for his young daughter's brutal rape and murder. He tortures and interrogates the man, who maintains his innocence, before killing and burying him. He returns to his ordinary life feeling listless and hollow, until he meets an old high school friend who introduces him to his hapless band of hired killers. His skill in the assassination business catches the attentions of a bigger crime boss. For reasons that remain opaque, Nijima is assigned to investigate his friend, which ultimately results in a bloody confrontation. In spite of its grisly subject matter, the film is remarkably light and filled with loopy details, such as mobsters training on rollerblades and a fossil-obsessed godfather, that recall the absurdist flourishes of Haruki Murakami novels or Seijun Suzuki films. This film was screened at the 1999 Toronto Film Festival as part of the Director's Spotlight. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi

Are you a browser in the grocery store? I totally am. I could roam around the store taking a look at this and that. Adding new products to my cart and acting like I have no where to be … which could be because I don't have anywhere to be. This is your heads up 7Up; if you want to get in and out of a grocery store – don't take me.
Little known fact: I have been grocery shopping by myself since I have been about 10 or 11. Long story but needless to say I love grocery stores.
Another reason to grocery shop — the potential to meet my Mr. Gosling-Vartan- Walker-Rheon-Reynolds. I am single and not really ready to mingle but I hear from all the 1001 magazine articles that the grocery store is a great place to meet a man. Uh-huh.
Anywho, on one of my excursions I was in my favorite aisle, condiments, and these new sandwich spreads from Hidden Valley Ranch caught my eye. I instantly grabbed the Oven Roasted Garlic Parmesan Sandwich Spread and Dip. The idea was to add it to my burgers to make it sang – which it did.
However, what am I to do with this stuff when not using it for burgers? So the brain starts churning and the idea comes to add some of this goodness to some chicken salad I was making.
It was dang delicious! "DANG DELICIOUS," I'm telling you! It upped the flavor factor in my chicken salad and had me coming back for seconds, thirds, fourths, and fifths. Yeah, I kind of ate it all in a matter of a day.
I love chicken salad. As you can see with this being the third recipe I have for some type of chicken salad. It's a great go to dish in the hot months. Great as a sandwich or paired with fruits or topped on a bed of mixed greens. Chicken salad is also simple to make. It's a 30 minute meal or less with the help of precooked chicken. Grocery store Rotisserie Chicken is my weapon of choice.
By the by, I was not compensated or sponsored by Hidden Valley Ranch for this post. I simply love grocery store browsing and shopping.
Garlic Parmesan Chicken Salad
"A Licious Food Original"
Makes 4 cups
4 cups rotisserie chicken breast, finely chopped
1/4 cup green onions/scallions, sliced
1/4 cup Hidden Valley Ranch Oven Roasted Garlic Parmesan Sandwich Spread & Dip
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
Dash of cayenne pepper
In a medium to large bowl add finely chopped (aka using food processor and pulsing about 10 to 12 times) chicken breast, sliced green onions, HVR Garlic Parmesan spread, lemon juice, mayonnaise, lemon pepper seasoning, and cayenne pepper.
Mix all items together until fully blended/incorporated with a mixing spoon. Wrap bowl and let mixture refrigerate for at least 15 minutes and serve.
The longer you let it refrigerate the better it is … if you can wait that long. Serve chicken salad with your favorite crackers, pita chips, bread, fruit …

company info About company
Zonders Trading Company is well-known in Great Britain, being a major player in the market for various commodities, including rare-earth metals. Supply and demand at the commodity market is predetermined by demand of the industry in one or another kind of raw materials, therefore, in the process of trading operations, we always take into account actual trends in the global economy.
Despite high continuous demand in metals, oil, petroleum refined products, coal and other mineral deposits, there is still a certain risk inherent to investments into this field as well as any other kinds of activities. Therefore, while making an investment portfolio, we remember about risk diversification reasonably redistributing the funds received from investors into different sectors of the economy. At present Zonders is the representative of the largest mining companies, concluding contracts for the supply of raw materials for the needs of power, machine engineering, metallurgical and other branches of industry.
We are striving for minimization of risks and sustainable profit making, which can't be achieved without careful analysis of the on-going processes in the global economy or without developing effective trading strategies and clever use of the capital.
Our success is secured by well-coordinated work of a big team of experts (economists, analysts, traders) whose interaction leads to the efficient operation of the whole company.
company info Promo Video
Profitability of this line of business for a private investor is obvious: significant changes in prices for raw materials over a long historical period prove the prospects of such a trade. Moreover, investing in raw materials doesn't mean direct acquisition related to the necessity to search for a buyer.
All trading transactions are concluded directly at the International Exchange and their outcome and amount of profit depend exclusively on the professionalism of the team of traders.
Long-term benefits of investments into our Company are explained by the fact that the commodity market itself is a huge opportunity to increase capital, and even small investments in this sector bring our partners a steadily growing profit.
Immediately after the registration and opening of the deposit, your investments are accumulated on the Company's general accounts and involved in trading deals, that is, from the very first minutes of our cooperation, your money starts working to obtain the desired result. Later the income is distributed among investors according to the terms of the contract.

After the game (which the Cardinals lost, 28-10), McGinnis asked Tillman to appear in the locker room. Ever reluctant to grandstand or play the hero, he agreed to meet the players but not to address them formally as a group. "When he walked in, there was just a tremendous amount of respect," says McGinnis. "I can still see vividly in my mind each player shaking his hand, everyone saying thank you and touching his shoulder." They may have wanted to make sure he was real. After all, this was the man who had walked away from a $3.6 million three-year contract with the Cardinals because there was another uniform he wanted to wear. In a culture obsessed with money, there's something hard to believe about a person who turns down that kind of offer for an $18,000- a-year job with the Army. And in a culture obsessed with fame, we hardly know what to do with a guy who doesn't even capitalize on the story. From the minute he decided to sign up, Tillman refused interview requests. What he did wasn't a publicity stunt. It wasn't a career move. It was that ancient, compelling thinga sacrifice.
What we realize now is that there was a larger sacrifice to come. In Afghanistan last week Tillman was part of Operation Mountain Storm, a campaign launched in March by U.S.-led forces against Taliban and al-Qaeda fighters who have been regrouping in sanctuaries along the border with Pakistan. On Thursday his special-forces unit was on patrol with Afghan militia near the isolated mud-brick village of Spera, about 25 miles southwest of the nearest U.S. firebase, at Khost.
The mountain trails around Spera, where thick pine forests provide cover from U.S. aircraft, have become a major infiltration point for Taliban and al-Qaeda operatives. The watchful locals, members of the Zadran tribe, sympathize with the jihadists. It's ambush country, and some time around 7:30 p.m. Tillman's patrol was attacked. In the 12 to 15 minutes of shooting that followed, two Americans were wounded. An Afghan militia man was killed. So was Tillman. He was 27.
All this weekand for weeks to comewe will talk about Tillman, who went out of his way to discourage such conversation. All soldiers give up something when they enlist. Tillman didn't want to hear that the career he left behind was any more important. But now that he's gone, he will be singled out, for a while anyway. Not just because he was one of the few famous faces in an all-volunteer Army that doesn't attract many. But because his sacrifice can stand for those made by all the others. And because we wonder if we could do what heand theyhave done.
Tillman grew up in San Jose, Calif., where his father Pat Sr. is a lawyer and former college wrestler. Like a lot of young Californians, the long-haired Pat Jr. could embody the surfer dude. In fact, dude was one of his favorite words. His other favorite word isn't printable. Cargo shorts, flip-flops and T shirts were his standard outfit. But at Arizona State University, he had the brains to get his marketing degree in 31/2 yearsand with a 3.84-grade-point average. At school he got into the habit of climbing at night up the narrow ladder of a 200-ft. light tower at Sun Devil Stadium. He would perch at the top, look at the stars and wonder where he was headed. Everybody's favorite story from his high school football career involves the game in which his team was so far ahead that his coach decided to bench the starters for the second half. But Tillmana starterstill needed to play. As the half began, he snuck back onto the field and returned the kickoff for a touchdown. His coach was so upset at the stunt that he locked Tillman's helmet in the team bus to keep him sidelined.
In the fall of 1993, as a high school senior, Tillman got into a more serious kind of trouble. Coming to the defense of a friend involved in a fight outside a pizza parlor, he beat his adversary so severely that he was eventually arrested and charged as a juvenile with felony assault. Tillman entered a guilty plea, and the following summer spent 30 days in a juvenile-detention facility, all the while worrying that he might lose the scholarship offered him by Arizona State. He didn't, and on his release his conviction was reduced to a misdemeanor. Years later he discussed the episode with a writer from Sports Illustrated. "I learned more from that one bad decision than all the good decisions I've ever made," he said. "It made me realize that stuff you do has repercussions. You can lose everything."
All the same, at ASU, where few people knew of the arrest, they called him the Hitmanbut this time, for what he did on the field. He lacked both the size of a typical college linebacker and the speed of a running back, but he was dogged and smart. In his senior year Tillman was named Pac-10 Conference Defensive Player of the Year no small trick for a guy who weighed 202 lbs. in a world where your average lineman looks like a major appliance with a helmet. When a reporter congratulated him, Tillman admitted that he was proud to win but allowed that the whole thing had him a little worried that he might "start being happy" with himself. "And then I'll stand still, and then I'm old news."
Standing still just wasn't something he did. People talk about Tillman's charisma and his instantly authoritative manner. In 1995 Mike McBride was still new to his job as an academic counselor in ASU's athletic department when Tillman, a shaggy-haired freshman, first walked into his office to ask him how many classroom hours he would need to graduate. When McBride told him, Tillman shot back that it was McBride's job to make sure he didn't do any more or any less. "I had a weird reaction," says McBride. "I almost said, 'Yes, sir'except he had that surfer hairdo."
Tillman made a career out of turning no into yes. His college football coach Bruce Snyder told Tillman that he might have to redshirt himhold him backfor his first year. Perhaps Snyder was expecting him to grow. "He looked me dead in the eye and said, 'Coach, I'm not going to redshirt.' I thought he didn't understand what I meant," says� Snyder, "so I started to explain it. But he said, 'Coach, you don't have to play me. I'm going to graduate in four years, so as long as I'm around, use me as it comes along.'" In 1997 Tillman helped the Sun Devils come achingly close to a national championship in that year's Rose Bowl. All the same, prior to the NFL draft the following year, the labels "too small" and "too slow" still clung to him. He came to the Cardinals as a seventh-round pick, 226th out of 241 overall. His signing bonus was meal money by NFL standards, just $21,000. Since he didn't have a car, he commuted to the Cards' training camp riding his green Schwinn bicycle. "But you couldn't tell him he couldn't make it in the NFL", recalls Kwamie Lassiter, one of Tillman's former teammates. "Tell him he can play for three years, and he'll play four just to show you he can. Whatever challenge came up, he hit it head on."
In 2000 Tillman established a team record of 224 tackles in a single season. The next year he turned down a five-year, $9 million-contract offer from the Super Bowl champion St. Louis Rams out of loyalty to the eternally underachieving Cardinals. But after Sept. 11, Tillman started thinking about larger loyalties. On the day after the attack he spoke about family members who had gone to war, like his great-grandfather who was at Pearl Harbor. "I haven't done a damn thing as far as laying myself on the line like that," he said. "So I have a great deal of respect for those that have."
Tillman's agent Frank Bauer got the first inkling that something was brewing with his client in a phone conversation in March 2002, while he was in the midst of negotiating the $3.6 million deal with the Cardinals. "Pat said, 'Hey, Frank, do me a favor. Worry about your other clients. Don't worry about me. I'm thinking about doing something else.'" In May, after returning from a honeymoon trip to the South Pacific island of Bora Bora with his wife Marie, Tillman enlisted, along with his brother Kevin, a minor league baseball player. Determined to avoid publicity, they began the process in Denver, where Pat might not be recognized. But the inevitable news still stunned many people. Tillman was one of the very few active NFL players to volunteer for military service since World War II, in which 638 NFL players served and 19 died.
Despite his All-American story, he turned down a multitude of TV, movie and book deals. Last July, when both Tillmans won the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPY Awards ceremony on espn, they made no public statement and sent their younger brother Richard to pick up the award.
Mark Brand, an assistant athletic director at ASU, says that when people asked Tillman why he was enlisting, he always had the same answer: he needed a new challenge. He got one at Fort Benning, Ga., where both Tillmans spent the second half of 2002 training to become Army Rangers, an elite outfit that only graduates about a third of those who start the course. They reached Iraq some time last year. In Baghdad Pat made frequent calls to Bauer. "He never talked about any of the combat part of it," says Bauer. "That just was Pat.*spaceHe never really got into anything that detailed." It was only last month that Tillman left for Afghanistan. You wonder what he would have made of last weekend's NFL draft, with the scramble for money and Eli Manning's pout over whether he might be forced to work in San Diego and not a thought about how a death on the battlefield had put it all into perspective. But Tillman just might have objected again that he was nothing special, that he had his share of ordinary career ambition too. In the locker room before the Rose Bowl in 1997, he asked one of his coaches, Lyle Setencich, what draft round he might expect to be chosen in the next year. "I told him to get a law degree, that he was going to be President," says Setencich. "He said, 'I want to play in the NFL.'"
"You're fortunate when you come across a Pat Tillman," says Setencich. "But there are many Pat Tillmans across the country. The spirit of Pat Tillman is the heart of this country." Tillman would not have wanted us talking about him this week, but if we were talking about him anyway, that's probably what he would have wanted us to say.

Our site is grounded in the teachings of positive psychology, the science of what goes right in life (thus, the use of the word positive in our name).
Zone Positive
We need a new logo for our business (Zone Positive). My partner and I just completed a masters course in positive psychology, a relatively new field and a new approach to helping people live happier and more fulfilling lives. We are anxious to extend this science to practitioners (like coaches) so that the tools grow in awareness and use. This is my third business start up ( two failed, one succeeded) and my partner works for a major consulting firm.
- for now, just the logo based on our name (Zone Positive)
- we may add a tag line down the road but don't have one at this time
- we don't have a preference for a color palate -- but avoid clear gender colors (ie. pink). Our website hasn't been developed yet-- the logo will in many respects determine the color and style of the website
- the logo should be professional in style (our audience is the universe of professional coaches who help people solve problems or find direction in their lives)
- but it could also be fun or intriguing-- we want it to be eye catching.
- we would like our logo to convey the positive nature of our site, the uplifting aspect of positive psychology, what's good in life, character strengths, positive emotion (yada yada yada).
- vector format and jpeg
- pink
- overly feminine
- overly male
- silly, amateurish

The Vancouver Whitecaps posted a 2-1 victory over Beckham and the Galaxy in a friendly on Tuesday night. The match was played in front of 37,104 fans at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton, with most coming to catch a glimpse of Beckham in action. He set up the lone Galaxy goal late in the first half, but the Whitecaps controlled play for much of the contest. Beckham helped the Galaxy tie the game, 1-1, in the 43rd minute. He fired a long cross into the top of the box for Alan Gordon, who beat charging Whitecaps goalkeeper Srdjan Djekanovic to the ball and headed it into the open goal. Whitecaps forwards Nicholas Adderly and Eduardo Sebrango both tallied for Vancouver. In the fourth minute, the Whitecaps took an early lead with a goal from Adderly, who beat Galaxy goalkeeper Josh Wicks with a low shot inside his right post. The Whitecaps took a 2-1 lead in the 66th minute on a beautiful strike from Sebrango, who fired a blast past Wicks at the left post. Midfielder Justin Moose picked up a loose ball and found forward Nick Webb up the right wing. Webb dribbled in behind the Galaxy defence and played a low cross just above the six-yard box for Sebrango to drill home. The Galaxy put on the pressure in the closing minutes, but were not able to beat Wicks, who made a string of saves to preserve the victory. Beckham, who nearly added a goal of his own on a 30-yard free kick that just missed the near post, came out in the 75th minute to a nice ovation from the crowd. The Galaxy were without MLS scoring leader Landon Donovan, who had a strained calf and did not make the trip. Earlier in the day, selected members of local U-7 to U-11 soccer clubs got to participate in a pre-game clinic with the Vancouver Whitecaps. Forty contest winners got to sharpen their skills with Whitecaps coaches and players, who drilled them in dribbling, passing and ball-handling. The Callingwood Teal Twisters were so pumped about the once-in-a-lifetime clinic, they were talking all over each other. "I want to learn some better defence moves," said Emma Norenberg, 9, who plays midfield and defence. But most admitted the biggest draw was getting to see Beckham play. "He's a really good soccer player," said midfielder Danielle Baker, 10. "And he's kind of cute," said her teammate, Olivia Claramarshall. They weren't the only ones swooning over Becks. Female fans held up "I heart Beckham" signs during the game in hopes the British hunk would single them out and respond to their marriage proposals, even from the upper bowl. © The Vancouver Sun 2008 Previous Next

It's rollin' round the bend.
The CSX crossing on Skyline Drive in Hopkinsville, KY
When the railroad crossing arms drop in front of me, I consider it a challenge to get a photo of the train. This freight train was traveling fast. I was surprised that I got my camera out of my purse, rolled down the window, and clicked the shutter in time to catch the locomotive.
The title and subtitle of this post are the first two lines of "Folsom Prison Blues", a song Johnny Cash wrote in 1951, the year I was born. On YouTube, I found over 5000 search results for "Folsom Prison Blues." Many have sung the song; some sang it better than others.
Here's a good, undated video of Johnny Cash singing "Folsom Prison Blues". It's an interesting contrast to a younger Johnny Cash singing "Folsom Prison Blues" in 1959. He picked up steam with that song as the years went by.
In a video of Johnny performing "Folsom Prison Blues" at the Tennessee State Penitentiary in 1974, he appears to be using the Martin guitar that I photographed at the Country Music Hall of Fame museum.
Well if they freed me from this prison,
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line
Far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away...
(Johnny Cash, 1932–2003)

China Mobile's iPhone Factor
This post originally appeared on Digits.
Selling the iPhone through China Mobile – the world's biggest carrier with over 700 million subscribers -- will likely give Apple a boost. But it's not clear how much of a leg up China Mobile can get.
For China Mobile, the iPhone is a way to secure a large user base for its high-speed fourth-generation network, after the carrier has lost some of its market share over the past few years to smaller rivals China Unicom (Hong Kong) and China Telecom Both China Unicom and China Telecom already offer iPhones, and critics have also blamed China Mobile's sluggish performance in part on its homegrown 3G mobile technology, which hasn't been as popular as the 3G technology widely used around the world and also by China Mobile's two rival carriers.
With 4G, China Mobile is getting a head start. The company launched its 4G service earlier this month and plans to make it available in more than 340 cities in China by the end of 2014, while China Unicom and China Telecom are still building their 4G networks. China Mobile is incentivized to push its fledgling 4G service "at the cost of (rather than with) profits," Barclays Capital analysts wrote in a note shortly after Apple and China Mobile announced the iPhone deal.
Following the announcement of the deal, China Mobile's shares, traded in Hong Kong, were up 1.3% at HK$80.95 after the Monday morning session. While the deal may help China Mobile expand its 4G user base, analysts remain skeptical about how positive it will be for its earnings, due to expected subsidies for selling 4G smartphones such as iPhones on top of its hefty investment in 4G network expansion.
Barclays maintained its Underweight rating on China Mobile, saying that "until a focus on profits reemerges, we struggle to justify reasons to own the stock."
From Apple's perspective, China Mobile's impact on iPhone sales will likely depend on several factors, such as how much the phones will cost with contracts and what kind of deals on data usage and other terms China Mobile is willing to offer to attract users. The companies haven't disclosed pricing details yet. Apple said it didn't have any further comment beyond its statement on the preorders.
Barclays analysts said that they are waiting for more information on the carrier's subsidies, tariff plans and other conditions for its contracts for iPhone users.
The deal comes at a time when Apple's smartphone market share in China trails those of Samsung Electronics and several other Chinese handset makers.
Shanghai-based Canalys analyst Nicole Peng expects to see an immediate increase in iPhone sales from the January-March quarter after China Mobile starts selling them on Jan. 17.
"The timing is perfect because it's a gift season before the Chinese New Year," she said.
China Mobile currently offers Samsung's Galaxy S4 as its main high-end 4G smartphone, but the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C will likely play major roles in the carrier's 4G push, Ms. Peng said. When China Mobile's 4G service becomes available outside major cities in China, Apple can start to benefit from the carrier's nationwide distribution channel that covers smaller cities and rural areas, she added.
A China Mobile spokeswoman declined to comment on pricing and other details.

DEAR PEGGY: My son-in-law has just been told that his "good" cholesterol is quite low. How can he improve it? —E.T., Rosedale, Mississippi
With cholesterol, we often talk about the good versus the bad. "Good" cholesterol is high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and "bad" cholesterol is low-density lipoprotein (LDL). We want more of the good and less of the bad. In terms of numbers, an HDL of less than 40 mg/dl is considered poor; 40 to 60 mg/dl is better; and it's best above 60 mg/dl. LDL should be below 100 mg/dl for healthy people.
Good cholesterol actually contributes to cholesterol removal, and a high HDL is associated with a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease. The major ways to increase HDL are to get regular exercise and to lose excess weight, especially around the waist. Obesity, smoking and inactivity can all decrease HDL.

Today's Washington Post reports: "WMAL suspends talk-show host for comment on Islam." The talk-show host is Michael Graham, and his comment referred to Islam as "the problem" and as a "terrorist organization." The Post reports:
CAIR denounced the comments as "hate-filled" and asked its members to contact the station's advertisers to express their dismay. Several hundred people across the country sent e-mails to the station and some of its advertisers, said Ibrahim Hooper, CAIR's communications director.
"I think this action is long overdue and appropriate," Hooper said of Graham's suspension. "I think it's a testament to the determination of individual Muslims who contacted the station and its advertisers to say Islamophobia and anti-Muslim bigotry are unacceptable."
Andrew Whitehead of Anti-CAIR draws a connection between comments by talk show hosts like Graham and the fatwa that was issued under CAIR's auspices yesterday: "ABC Disney gives in to CAIR." The Post's Tuesday story on Graham's comments seems to support Whitehead's observation: "Muslims call comments by WMAL host hate-filled." The Post quotes CAIR's Ibrahim Hooper:
"The First Amendment allows people to be idiots and bigots. All you can do is embarrass people and have them defend their reputation. If WMAL doesn't feel embarrassed and doesn't want to defend its reputation in the face of anti-Muslim bigotry, then there's not much we can do about it."
CAIR has been remarkably effective in "embarrassing" companies into enforcing the boundaries of acceptable discourse on the subject. The Post's Tuesday article also quotes Graham:
"If the Boy Scouts of America had 1,000 Scout troops, and 10 of them practiced suicide bombings, then the BSA would be considered a terrorist organization. If the BSA refused to kick out those 10 troops, that would make the case even stronger. If people defending terror repeatedly turned to the Boy Scout handbook and found language that justified and defended murder — and the scoutmasters responded by saying 'Could be' — the Boy Scouts would have been driven out of America long ago.
"Today, Islam has whole sects and huge mosques that preach terror. Its theology is openly used to give the murderers their motives. Millions of its members give these killers comfort. The question isn't how dare I call Islam a terrorist organization, but rather why more people do not."
As of Monday, this was the station's position:
[WMAL] station manager] Bloomquist said his station had received more than 100 e-mails protesting Graham's comments, many of them, he said, apparently generated by CAIR's e-mails to its members. He went on to defend Graham, saying, "Remember that this is talk radio. We don't do the dainty minuet of the newspaper editorial page. It's not 'Washington Week in Review.' It depends on pungent statements to drive it. Michael is rattling the cage. It's designed to start and further a conversation, and it has certainly done that."
As for me, I'm in favor of "the dainty minuet" of Bernard Lewis and Daniel Pipes on this subject. I don't agree with Graham that Islam is a terrorist organization. Moreover, in a related context, Paul has wisely pointed out the inutility of metaphorical condemnations. Here Graham's metaphor drastically overstates his point, but Graham is not making up the underlying problem.
Should the guy be fired for expressing his views? If you think that there should be room for Graham's blunderbuss on talk radio, Jewish World Review editor Binyamin Jokolvsky writes:
I set up a page for folks to write the station (here).
Can you help him. We need the blogosphere onto this!

Do you not care if you have a girlfriend? Or a boyfriend? According to Waseda University Tomonori Morikawa, who specializes in relationships, you could be suffering from a type of illness.
As Morikawa pointed out, having a girlfriend (he specifically mentioned "girlfriend") is not about being handsome or rich, it's a time and energy investment.
"If begins thinking, 'I can't get a girlfriend, but that's not big deal,' that is a serious illness," said Morikawa. One of the symptoms, he professor continued, was to erase the gap between one's dreams and one's reality.
"You really want a someone to love. But in reality, you cannot," continued the professor. "However, if you brush that off and use the excuse that you don't want a girlfriend, then you're trying to ease your serious heartbreak."
This does not pertain only to fringe dudes (see above) who ride the train with hug pillows, but regular, totally normal folks, too.
While I do agree that covering up one's desire for companionship does lead to heavy hearts, not everyone is able to easily find a member of the opposite sex that's right for them. Saying you don't want a girlfriend (or boyfriend) could be the only way to cope.

Dear Maria,
Our vacation last week was phenomenal! We experienced first class service from the staff at Barcelo Bavaro Palace Resort. We would like to express our gratitude and appreciation for the trip we took of a lifetime which was flawless, thanks to your hard work. It's better than a cruise! The food is extremely healthy and delicious! The environment helped with my medical health issues by 95%. I highly recommend Punta Cana as the best place to enjoy life and have plenty of relaxation and fun. It's our adult Disneyland and we plan to definitely make plans to return next year with more family members. I'd like to thank the staff of Barcelo Bavaro Palace for the extraordinary and professional service beginning with Jean Carlos Parra, the daily security guard who assisted in getting us our "tour bus", Altagracia Pena, who worked so hard to make us feel welcomed in the Strykers Sport Bar. We felt like royalty. Our beloved domestic goddess (room service), Orphelina who made sure our room was clean and the minibar filled with our favorite drinks. The "maleteros" baggage kings at the hotel were simply the best! There is really nothing to complain at all about this trip! Being bilingual is definitely a plus that's for sure but the staff understands the English and Russian languages. There are many Russians, Europeans, Brazilians etc., but not too many Texans. So I challenge the Texas folks to make a trip out there--it will be the best vacation you'll ever experience. I'm ready for another catamaran ride to Saona Island...aaaahhhhBest regards,The Happy Texas GalsAlice, Monica & Edna

Drawing, picture or graphic rendering of the modern couple. Background or not, Pandora's Box or not, other props or not.
We are creating a series of video gaming titles aimed at the modern couple. We have in mind a blond guy with a long haired brunette. The new romance novel cover ? We really like the look of the WET character Rubi Malone, and her tough, inner city upbringing, pretty yet other ladies aren't intimidated by her. Appealing to many men and women is a tricky proposition.
Other power couples we like are Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Mars & Venus, Rinoa Heartilly and Squall Leonhart. The man has to be strong, the woman the same or stronger.

I've realized that chefs are full of stories. Lots of stuff goes on in a kitchen and if you manage to get a chef to start telling you about some of it you'll never be at a loss when someone asks you to tell them a story. During one of my classes we started talking about first kitchen jobs and the pranks that get played on rookie chefs. I like the chef that I have for this class because I find him sarcastic with a dry wit, (I don't think everyone gets his humour, but I enjoy it). I see him as someone that's hard to fool or put anything past but apparently that wasn't always the case.
One of his first apprentice jobs was working in a ski resort. He was eager to please the head chef and do well and subsequently accepted everything the chef told him as truth. So when the head chef called him over one day and told him he needed to go across town to another resort to fetch the lobster gun, he didn't even question it. Instead, he trudged through deep snow to the other resort, intent on returning with the lobster gun, whatever that might be. While he was making his way over there, the head chef of the first resort called over to the other resort and let him know that one of his apprentice chefs was on his way over and to send him back with something ridiculous.
Chef arrived at the second resort and was welcomed in. They told him they had packed the lobster gun and it was ready for him to take. And then they pointed at a box the size of a refrigerator. Once again, Chef didn't ask any questions, he just accepted that he was going to have to lug this thing through the snow and back to his kitchen. This was no easy feat, that box was seriously heavy and when he finally arrived back at the kitchen, sweating and out of breath, the head chef and other cooks were waiting for him.
They proceeded to open the box and pull out the following items: a toilet, bricks, books, a bag of flour and some old railway ties. No lie. They all thought it was hilarious, (as do I) but Chef was not happy. So what did he do to make up for it? He made sure to play pranks on all the new apprentices who came after him. He then warned us not to fall for it if anyone asked you to go fetch a lobster gun, a can of steam or a caraway splitter. He also made it clear that if someone told you to hang the spaghetti to dry, they were pulling your leg, (this supposedly happened in a kitchen he worked in when a cook told an apprentice to hang up all the spaghetti after cooking it and to leave it to dry overnight, when the head chef came in the next morning the kitchen was covered in spaghetti and hanging from the ceiling tiles, he wasn't impressed).
So that's my story for you today, I hope you enjoyed it. All of the photos that accompany my story are of stuff I either made at school or were inspired by things made at school. The lamb curry and the quiche lorraine were made during two separate cooking labs. The mac and cheese and the lasagna, (with spinach and mushrooms) were both made at home with leftover béchamel sauce that I made in the lab. And the brown sugar bruleed grapefruit with kumquat garnish was shown to us in a demo lab minus the kumquat, (but I made this a while ago when I had a whole lot of them) and I recreated it at home.

Savory Cheddar, Goat Cheese and Cilantro Cake / Cake Salé aux Cheddar, Fromage de Chèvre et Coriandre
I don't remember which one came first: cooking, or the words that came with the recipes.
My mother had a small collection of pocket size French Cookbooks that I loved reading. The cookbooks had no pictures and no stories, just recipes, words and may be some drawing here and there. Yet, these books played a major role in the life of a teenage girl who wanted to learn the art of cooking.
Leafing through a cookbook that has no pictures, I was more drawn to a recipe that calls itself "Pain Bourguignon", "Braised green lentils on a bed of Escarole", "Anna potato cake" or even "Eggs en Cocotte" than to the ones with a less phonetic impact. Once I gave my poor siblings a taste of what was at the time my obsession with the word: Pilaf. Say it again, slowly: P-I-L-A-F! The way the tongue caresses the palate gently makes it sound more mystifying and delicious.
One sunny Friday, when my parents said they would be away for the afternoon, and that they might be late for supper, I nodded my head religiously to my mother's leftover-reheating recommendations while the word Pilaf danced sensuously and discreetly in my mind. Once my parents had left, I had my rice, my onion, my chicken stock and my seasoning on the counter top. I was a girl on a mission.
The rice was beautiful, served in a royal blue glass dish, fluffed with a fork and decorated with some chopped parsley. I sat in my Mother's place and served my siblings some of the rice and the other leftovers. I was proud of my self. Even more proud to explain my siblings how this wasn't any kind of rice, this was P-I-L-A-F Rice! (With the tongue rolling, of course!)
The first bite was a little unexpected. But I decided to stay quiet and continued on with another spoonfuls, hoping that my siblings wouldn't notice. Then my older sister put down her fork. "It's undercooked, some grains are still raw," my sister said, and went on to eat my mother's leftovers.
"No, it's not undercooked, it's Al-dente" (Another word that I loved using at that time, too!)
Then my younger brothers followed and I couldn't convince them anymore to eat it; even when I asked them to fish the raw grains out.
I almost finished my plate, but inside I was devastated with the knowledge that I have made a mistake somewhere in the recipe. I served my family a dish of partially raw rice and tried to make them believe that this was how the dish was to be served: Crunchy Pilaf!
Ever since this episode, I have learned how to make Pilaf Rice properly. But I still love using beautiful, exotic names for my dishes to impress the crowd. Even though the recipes are still the same. Somehow, I find it more alluring to introduce this Savory Cake as a Savory Cheddar, Goat Cheese and Cilantro cake than: Savory Quickbread, which is just what it is in reality. But much more.
I made this recipe from Dorie Greenspan' Serious Eats chronicles: Baking with Dorie. The cake is simply marvelous and oh, so easy to make. You basically whisk all the dry ingredients together in a bowl, the wet in another, and then you gently combine the two. Pour, bake, let it cool, and you've got yourself a moist, delicious and cheesy cake that would make any novice baker proud. The only minor changes that I made to the original recipe was to use a mix of white whole-wheat flour and all-purpose flour, to use cilantro instead of chives (it was a manner of availability) and to use goat cheese for its fresh note. I love to serve this savory cake with salads, or as a toast for my sandwiches. After a few days, when it dries out, I like to slice it, toast it, and dice it into croutons to garnish my salads or soups.
Savory Cheddar, Goat Cheese and Cilantro Cake
Recipe: Adapted fom Here
- 1cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup white whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt (it depends on what cheese and add-ins you're using. I used 1 tsp)
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (or more to taste; you could even add a pinch of hot pepper)
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1/3 cup whole milk, at room temperature
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 ounces coarsely grated cheddar or other cheese
- 2 ounces fresh goat cheese or other cheese, cut into very small cubes
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro or other herbs
- 1/3 cup toasted walnuts, chopped (optional)
Put the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl and whisk the ingredients together to combine. Put the eggs in another mixing bowl; whisk for about 1 minute, until they're foamy and blended. Whisk in the milk and olive oil.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and, using a sturdy rubber spatula or a wooden spoon, gently mix until the dough comes together. There's not need to be energetic—beating the dough toughens it—nor do you need to be very thoroughly. Just stir until all the dry ingredients are moistened. Now, stir in the cheese, grated and cubed, the herbs and the toasted walnuts, if you're using them. You'll have a thick dough. Turn the dough into a buttered loaf pan and even the top with the back of the spatula or spoon.
Slide the loaf pan into a 350F-preheated oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the bread is golden and a slender knife inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a cooling rack, wait about 3 minutes, then run a knife around the sides of the pan and turn the loaf over onto the rack; invert and cool to room temperature right-side up.
The cake can be served when it is still slightly warm, but like Dorie herself, I prefer it when it has cooled completely.
Well wrapped, the cake will keep for about 2 days at room temperature or for up to 2 months in the freezer (thaw in the wrapper). It is normal that the cake may seem a little dry after a couple of days. At that point, it's good to toast the slices. I like to use them as little croutons in my salad and soups, too.
Cake Salé aux Cheddar, Fromage de Chèvre et Coriandre
In Francais Please: Adapté d'ici
- 110g de farine
- 100g de farine blanche complete
- 1 petite c.s de levure chimique
- ½ a 1c.c de sel (tout depends du fromage que vous utilisez et de ce que vous voulez ajouter. J'ai mis 1 c.c)
- ¼ c.c de poivre noir faichement moulu
- 3 gros oeufs, a temperature ambiante
- 100ml lait entier, a temperature ambiante
- 100ml d'huile d'olive extra vierge
- 85g de cheddar, grossierement rapé
- 50g de fromage de chevre, coupé en en dés
- 125ml coriandre, haché
- 100ml noix, grossierement hachées (facultatives)
Dans Une grande jatte, mélanger les farines, la levure, le sel et le poivre. Dans un autre bol, battre les oeufs pendant un minute jusqu'à ce qu'ils deviennent mousseux et bien incorporés. Ajouter le lait et l'huile d'olive.
Verser tous les ingredients liquides sur les ingredients secs, et mélanger doucement à l'aide d'une spatule ou une cuillere en bois. Ne pas trop mélanger ou le cake sera dur et sec. Ajouter le fromage rapé et le fromage de chèvre en cubes, les noix et Mélanger encore. Votres pate sera épaisse. Verser la pate sur un moule à cake beurré et lisser la surface du cake à l'aide d'une maryse ou le dos d'une cuillere a soupe.
Glisser le cake au four, et faire cuire à 180C pendant 35-45 minutes ou jusqu'à ce que le cake soit doré et qu'un couteau inséré à l'interieur du cake en ressort propre. Laisser le cake dans sans moule pendant 3 minutes, puis démouler sur une grille à patisserie et laisser refroidir à temperature ambiante à l'endroit. Vous pouvez le servir tiede, mais je le préfere tout comme Dorie, completement refroidi.
Bien envelopé dans un film plastique, le cake peut se garder pendant 2 jours à temperature ambiante ou pendant 2 mois au congélateur (décongeler-le en le laissant dans le film plastique). Il est normal que le cake durcisse après quelques jours. A ce stage, il est préférable de griller les tranche en toast (J'aime les griller et les couper en dés pour décorer salades et soupes.

al-dente Pilaf that is a good one. It is great how we learn to do things right, through failure. Failure is such a wonderful thing sometimes and I can think of many that I have made in cooking this year and have learned something from each one. The bread looks yummy.

you told me you loved cakes, I can read here today that it's indeed a real love story, very different from the pilaf-raw-rice :)
I've already cooked a "prothèse mammaire" for dessert, that was meant to be a futurist cube of coconut milk with nashis ... ahem ...
Well, il n'y a que ceux qui ne font jamais rien qui ne se trompent pas :)

P-I-L-A-F! It IS a sensuous and beautiful word to roll off the tongue.
Warda, this is a gorgeous recipe. Anything with coriander ticks all the right boxes for me!

You know, you got my with the fancy title---I was skipping through my google reader and the combo of cheddar, goat cheese, and cilantro grabbed my attention! It looks delicious and I love your story!

When I first looked at the photo, I thought this was a kind of crustless quiche loaf. I'm going to try this, for sure, but I'll substitute flat-leaf parsley for the cilantro.

I've always been a cookbook reader. Better than novels for me and I started as a teen too. Nothing French, though. Mom had a wonderful collection of Junior League cookbooks.

- Gretchen, thanks a lot! I cannot stand waiting food away. I always find some ways to recycle them. Unless they are spoiled, of course ;)
- Shayne, I usually don't welcome failure very easily. Just a year ago, I cried all the tears of my soul because the puff pastry didn't turn out the way it supposed to. But I learned to control my tears since then. At least when it comes to cooking!
- Mom, thank you! I hope you will enjoy it! Please, let me know how it goes! Happy baking!
- Marion, that is very well said! Your "prothese mammaire" would have amused my younger brother more than my "Al-dente Pilaf". I can piture him:"Hey, look what she made! A pair of boobies" Hahaha!!
- Joy, thank you very much. That is sweet of you!
- Lucy, I knew you wouldn't resist to roll off your tongue ;) Glad you like the cake, Cilantro is my favorite herb.
- Robin, the fancy title always works ;) Glad to have you stopping by! Thank you very much!
- Lydia, parsley sounds good to me! This is the kind of recipe that begs for personalization.
- Michele, soit la bienvenue et merci beaucoup pour ton gentil message!
- Nancy, French or not, I find cookbooks to be very soothing. Better than ice cream.

C'est une très bonne idée la coriandre!

Warda - I happen to like my rice a little "al dente" :)
I've been wanting to make a savory cake and you've inspired me to do one soon!

I'm making this for dinner, it's in the oven as we speak, with only one modification: arugula/rocket instead of the cilantro. Can't wait to taste the creamy goat's cheese and the spicy nutty arugula!
MFK Fisher herself had a story very similar about the parents going out, except her mistake was with curry. By the way, I've always dreamed of coming up with a rice concoction worthy of the name "Edith Pilaf" after the singer, of course :) Thanks for dinner!
- March 7, 2008 at 8:07 PM
- Warda said...
- Kevin, thank you very much!
- Deborah, I am glad you like it. Thank you!
- Gal, arugula sounds like the perfect combination with fresh goat cheese. I hope you enjoyed it!
I would have to try the Edith Pilaf someday ;)

Oh, this looks SO good! I HAVE to make this. I love cheese and I love cilantro and I've recently decided to learn more about baking bread. I have a question for you, though... can I used bread flour in place of all-purpose flour? Please let me know. Thanks!
- April 9, 2008 at 1:17 PM
- Warda said...
Tara, thanks a lot! sure you can use bread flour. In this recipe you won't really notice a difference. Happy baking! And please, let me kno how it goes :-)
