Q: Like the rest of the world, I was so shocked to hear that Paul Walker had died in a car crash. I saw his last movie, "Hours," the other day, and he was so good in it. I know he was working on the next "Fast and Furious" movie when he died. Any chance they'll still release it? — Jimmy T., Oceanside, Calif.
A: Production on "Fast and Furious 7" had been shut down for some time after Paul's death, with 60 percent of the movie having been shot. It wasn't clear what they would do. Would they cancel the movie? Use CGI for some of his remaining scenes? Cut him out all together? Just before Christmas, Universal released this official statement about "FF7," along with a release date: "Continuing the global exploits in the franchise built on speed, Vin Diesel and Paul Walker lead the returning cast of 'Fast and Furious 7,' which will be released by Universal Pictures on April 10, 2015. James Wan directs this chapter of the hugely successful series, and Neal H. Moritz and Vin Diesel return as producers." It has also been verified that they won't kill off Paul's character in this installment of the series. So, Paul will be in the movie, and you can bet millions of people can't wait to see him in his final role.
A: FX recently announced that the spy drama — which centers on the Cold War era of the '80s, and stars Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys — will return for 13 episodes beginning Feb. 26. I can't wait!
Q: I haven't seen Kevin Costner in anything in a while. Can you tell me what I can see him in next? — Gina R., Allentown, Pa.
A: In what critics are calling the "Field of Dreams" for football fans, Kevin's latest project is called "Draft Day," which comes to theaters April 11. Kevin stars as Sonny Weaver Jr., the general manager for the Cleveland Browns. Sonny's career is on the line as he has to bring the Browns out of a serious slump by picking the best players at NFL drafts. The film also stars Jennifer Garner, Tom Welling, Frank Langella, Sam Elliott, Rosanna Arquette and Ellen Burstyn.
A: The actor you are thinking of is character actor James DuMont, who's been on tons of TV shows like "American Horror Story," "Treme," "Nashville," and "Bonnie and Clyde," and on the big screen in "The Butler," "Ocean's Thirteen," "War of the Worlds," and "Along Came Polly," to name only a few. James was thrilled to be in "Dallas Buyers Club," which centers on Ron Woodroof (played by Matthew McConaughey), who works around the system to help AIDS patients get the medication they need after he is himself diagnosed with the disease. James plays the estranged father of Jared Leto's character, Rayon, who's transgender and HIV positive.
Check back later this week for my full interview with this talented actor.
A: ABC has renewed "Mistresses" for a 13-episode second season, which is scheduled to air in summer 2014. The show, which is based on the British series of the same name, stars Alyssa Milano, Rochelle Aytes, Jes Macallan and Yunjin Kim. The show centers on the lives of four female friends, and their involvement in an array of illicit and complex relationships.
A: The A and E network decided this past fall to cancel "The Glades" after four seasons. The police procedural broke records for the network when it debuted, but slowly and steadily lost more than one-third of its viewers throughout the series, so the network canceled it.
Q: Can you tell me if and when "Cedar Cove" will return for another season? — Richard O., Summerfield, Fla.
A: The Hallmark Channel has renewed the phenomenally successful series, which is based on the book series of the same name by Debbie Macomber, for a second season. The show's first season made Hallmark Channel the No. 1 cable channel for Saturday nights during the 8 to 9 time slot. With internationally renowned actress Andie MacDowell leading the cast — which includes Dylan Neal, Teryl Rothery, Bruce Boxleitner, Barbara Niven and Brennan Elliott — season two of "Cedar Cover" promises more of the same drama, romance and fun. There is no word on the premiere date yet, but I'd start looking for it this summer. And of course, I'll let you know as soon as I know exactly when it will return.
A: I did report on this about six months ago, but since this is such a hot subject — I get tons of letters from readers asking me the same question — I'll write about it again, with some new information to pass along. Fox is indeed airing a new version of "24," which is called "24: Live Another Day." This go 'round, it will be a 12-part series but will still cover the requisite 24 hours. Kiefer will return, as will Mary Lynn Rajskub, William Devane and Kim Raver.
Kiefer recently told the press that the series will take place in London, stating: "'24' has always had such a global sensibility, but to be able to tell this intense '24'-style story with the beauty of Europe's history and architecture as the backdrop is going to be fascinating." Fox's entertainment chairman Kevin Reilly teased reporters that the show's pickup intrigued many industry stars. "A lot of who's who in Hollywood wanted to participate in this," he revealed. Be on the lookout for "24: Live Another Day" on Fox this May.
A: The most anticipated — and cutest — sporting event of the season is about to get even bigger when "Puppy Bowl" returns to Animal Planet on Feb. 2 (first airing is from 3 to 5 p.m. ET/PT) for it's 10th-anniversary edition. Starting at 3, the show will repeat all day, with new content every hour. With each airing, fans vote in real time for which puppy will take home the coveted title of MVP (Most Valuable Puppy), there will be a Kitty Half-Time Show, penguin cheerleaders, and viewers can participate in the Fantasy Puppy League (go to animalplanet.com/puppybowl to draft your team). This is definitely a can't-miss event!
Readers: I told you I'd let you know when I had an exact date for the season-two premiere of "Vikings," and I'm a woman of my word. "Vikings" returns to the History channel on Thursday, Feb. 27 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. So don't forget to tune in!

Living in Ethiopia Expat Guide
Living in Ethiopia Expat Guide – that will be the topic of today's article.
Many expats are working in Ethiopia! And with the result we've heard, a lot of them are doing fine. Most of the expats live and work in the capital, Addis Ababa, but there are more places to live. While they say the cost of living is relatively low, the healthcare system leaves much desired.
Ethiopia is a well-known country, according to scientists, as the birthplace of humanity and modern man. The country sits landlocked in East Africa, and the oldest human fossil, Lucy, is believed to have existed over three million years ago and was found in Ethiopia. So, what's more, to know about Ethiopia?
Well, there are more things to know! Ethiopia is a bright and vibrant country decorated in rich traditions of various cultures and tribes. Whether you wish to visit the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela or trek alongside gelada monkeys and Ethiopian wolves in the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Simien Mountains National Park, you'd be glad to relocate to this country.
Consequently, the best time to visit most parts of the country is during the dry season from October to March, as an expat. Have you been surfing the internet to get the right information about living in Ethiopia as an expat? Worry less, as we've got you covered here. All you need is to read carefully.
In this article, we have compiled some of the benefits of living in this country as an expat. Not only is that, but you'll also enjoy the interesting facts about this country. Ethiopia has experienced fast economic growth, thus offering some job opportunities to foreigners. Read further to know more!
10 Interesting Facts about Living in Ethiopia
Ethiopia, located in the Horn of Africa, is home to the second-largest population in Africa as of today. With that being said, this country's economy grows by 10 percent each year. Meanwhile, the country still remains one of the poorest nations in the world, characterized by the economic, social, and political reality of a developing nation. Without further ado, below are the fun facts about living in Ethiopia.
1. Thirteen Months Makes a Year
In nearly all countries of the world, what you'll see is the 12-month calendar. In Ethiopia, the case is different, as they have thirteen months. Ever looking to buck a trend, several thousand years ago, the Ethiopians cottoned on to Spinal Tap's belief that one more is always better, which made them count 13 months since decades ago. And the canny tourism boards can legitimately claim that the country really does boast 13 months of sunshine.
2. Colonial Control and Independence
Ethiopia is the only African country never to have been brought under colonial control. And this is one of the facts that the locals will never get tired of informing you. As history disclosed, the Italians did give colonization a crack in 1935 and succeeded in military occupying the country for six years.
In the long run, Ethiopian forces were waging military opposition the entire time, and the whole country was never brought under control. As some of the locals disclosed, they waited until they built railways.
3. Home of Festivals
If you don't know before, it's time to understand that Ethiopia is a country full of vibrant and colorful festivals. Also, the biggest, Timket, is a three-day annual festival that honors the baptism of Jesus Christ in the River Jordan. As of today, the priests remove the 'Tabots' from each church and march to the nearest water source, where the communal baptism takes place.
4. Home to the Birthplace of Rastafarian Movement
I'm sure you might have been thinking that it's Jamaica, right? Nope, you're wrong! While much of the Rastafarian movement did evolve in Jamaica, the spiritual homeland of its existence is Ethiopia. Do you need more evidence about this fact? You can check the Ethiopia flag and its color to get a glimpse of what we're saying.
5. Home to the Oldest People in the World
Undoubtedly, several archaeological findings in the country's Afar region go quite some way in suggesting that all human have their origin from this country. In 1972, Donald Johanson and Tim D. White discovered Lucy, a 3.2 million-year-old hominid skeleton.
Moreover, for years, Lucy was all the rage, embarking on a nine-year worldwide tour and enjoying widespread fame. Not only is that, but Ardi, which came from the Afar region but one million years her senior, rocked up and blew her out of the water. So, you absolutely have many histories in this country.
6. Ethiopia is known as the Birthplace of Coffee
While many people would argue that Kenya is home to coffees, another set of folks disclosed that the origin of coffee is traceable to ancient Europe. As history disclosed, there are many legends about the origin of coffee, but it is thought that its heritage can actually be traced back to a goat herder on the Ethiopian plateau.
7. Home to the highest capital city in Africa
If you've heard about Addis Ababa, you should have it in mind that it's the capital city of this country. Located in the highlands bordering the Great Rift Valley, the capital city of Addis Ababa sits at 2,355 meters above sea level, as the highest in Africa. Also, this sprawling city is also the fourth largest on the continent and is among the best places to sample delicious Ethiopian cuisine.
8. Home to Over 80 Languages
This should be among the things that'd make you want to visit this country. As of today, we can tell you that Ethiopia has upwards of 80 languages spoken across its region, and as of 2020, it was known to have five official working languages. On the other hand, English seems to be the most commonly spoken foreign language, and the university classes are all taught in the English language.
9. Half of Africa's Mountain Lies in Ethiopia
If you visit this country, we can tell you that you've seen more than half of Africa's mountains. Along with Ethiopia's incredible cultural and historical significance, the natural beauty of this country is in a league of its own. In addition to a gorgeous landscape of low desserts and volcanic plateaus, this country is incredibly mountainous.
10. Home to the First Olympic Medals
The first African to win an Olympic gold medal was Ethiopian. By name, Abebe Bikila bagged the coveted prize in 1960 in the Rome summer Olympics and shocked the world with the result. Not only because he won in recorded time, but history disclosed that he was also barefoot. In the long run, he won again four years later, this time with shoes.

Eight teams fought in the EU online qualifier: Team EnVyUs and five more received a direct invite; the remaining two earned their spot through the open qualifier.
EnVy faced Fnatic and North in the earlier rounds, winning with a combined 4-1 score. The finals featured a best-of-three battle against mousesports, but they fell to the French squad after only two maps.
IEM Oakland XII is planned for November 16-19. 12 teams will battle for a $300,000 prize pool - all the participants have been determined but the winners of the North American qualifier.
EnVy selected the first battleground: Inferno. Mousesports won the pistol round and the successive ones, but afterwards EnVy claimed a consistent amount of gold by planting the bomb four times. The first half ended 9:6 for them.
Once the French team moved on the CT-side, they gained the control of the match, triumphing with a 7:1 score. Overall, the entire team obtained good stats, while four mouz's players had a rating below 1.0.
The battle was more balanced on Train, where mouz had a great start as CT. They won the pistol round, defused the bomb a total of five times in the first half, and ended it 12:3.
They continued the win streak also as Terrorists, winning the first two rounds. EnVyUs didn't give up and proved their bravery by claiming 13 rounds in a row, and triumphing in the map 16 to 14.
Alexandre "xms" Forté contributed to the team's victory with 25 kills, getting a final rating of 1.33.

St. Mary Magdalen Parish, Media, celebrating 50 years as vibrant family

Many of the stained glass windows and statues of St. Mary Magdalen came from closed Catholic churches in Philadelphia.
By Lou Baldwin • Posted September 27, 2013
St. Mary Magdalen Parish in Media, Delaware County, has certainly come a long way in 50 years. With Father Gilbert J. McDevitt as founding pastor in 1963 it started with 156 families drawn from Nativity B.V.M. in Media and St. Anastasia in Newtown Square, worshiping in a converted barn.
Now with Msgr. Ralph Chieffo as the fifth pastor, it is worshiping in its third church, dedicated in 2008. And the congregation has grown to 1,700 families including 98 new families last year, totaling 6,500 people.
When Archbishop Charles Chaput visits on Sunday, Sept. 29 for the anniversary Mass, it will be in a clearly contemporary church designed by parishioner William F. Murphy yet one where the past has been seamlessly blended in.
Whether it be beautiful statuary from St. Clement Church or King of Peace, or stained glass from St. Alphonsus — all closed Philadelphia churches — or artwork acquired by the second pastor Msgr. Richard Simons and more recent acquisitions by Msgr. Chieffo, it all blends in symphony both in the main church and the adoration chapel.
After the church was completed in 2008, it was paid off in full within six months, according to Msgr. Chieffo.
But ultimately it is not the vibrancy of the church architecture that makes St. Mary Magdalen a great parish; it is the vibrancy of the people and the multitude of programs.
"It's one thing to build a beautiful church, it's another to build a prayerful spirit and a family of faith," Msgr. Chieffo said.
Part of that is the parish commitment to education best exemplified by the parish school. With 390 students, it is three times the number of kids in the Parish Religious Education Program, a ratio that oftentimes is the exact opposite in many parishes. But the PREP religious education is also valued – the teachers are paid professionals, not volunteers.
Patricia Miniszak probably knows more about the school than even Msgr. Chieffo. A parishioner for 26 years, she has been a teacher, the school principal and now its president.
"I think the school is the heart of the parish," she said. "First of all, Msgr. (Chieffo) reaches out to all ages."
Recruitment starts at baptism; the parish sends a congratulatory card and this continues annually until the child is school age. Also Miniszak works with an advisory board, cultivates alumni interest, and school tours are conducted for prospective parents. And of course there is word of mouth from satisfied parents.
"This is a thriving parish and people do get involved," Miniszak said. She points to the daily Mass with an attendance of about 80 as indicative of the spiritual health of St. Mary Magdalen, as well as the perpetual adoration that is conducted throughout the week beginning at 1 p.m. Sunday and ending at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, a day when there might be several weddings and of course the weekend liturgies.
Special Masses for the students are so well attended there is no room for the parents, Miniszak said.
The youth of the parish are also served through a CYO program for grades five through 12, which isn't just athletic teams – the five phases of ministry cover athletic, social, cultural, service and spiritual life.
For the sick and the elderly there is a whole army of volunteers to conduct home visitation or ministry at the four nursing homes in the surrounding area.
Then there is Oasis of Peace, an orphanage ministry in Kenya that the parish helps fund.
St. Mary Magdalen also makes donations to schools in the Philadelphia Archdiocese, including Our Mother of Sorrows/St. Ignatius School in Philadelphia and Blessed Virgin Mary School in Darby.
There are also no less than 40 ministries and services listed in the parish bulletin.

Can a CA file lawsuit for an illegal PDL on which I have paid the principal amount?
I had a payday loan through Spotloan last year. Paid almost all of it but didn't accept my agreement to pay back principal. All of a sudden a person called and said that she's from a collection agency and that she will have charges filed against me in my County if I do not pay all of it and a lot of interest beings. It's an illegal payday loan and I don't believe she said where she was from but my caller ID said Oracle Financial. She calls from a number from my state but the number I'm supposed to call back is a number in Florida. Can they legally file any charges against me for I think she said writing a bad check theft from a loan agency.
They can't since it is an illegal payday loan. They won't file any charges against you. It's a scam.
No, they can't legally file any charge against you as they are illegal payday lenders.
If you pay the principal, then don't pay a single extra penny.
It's an illegal lenders, so they can't do anything like suing you. Maybe if you could find the company or individuals who operate the business, you are the one who could sue them. I just watched a video at youtube.com/watch?v=DEEwty4_Rk4 about how those debt collection agencies try to fool people in so many ways. Hope it helps you.
Damn right you are Tony!! Morgan > The ball is in your court now, you don't need to pay a single penny more to them.
I would say a different thing. Definitely, you should not pay more than the principal amount. Why take recourse to such payday loan? Try alternatives.... try out P2P lending instead.

Senft first appeared in his memorable El Diablo outfit—red tights, a black cape with flame-styled red arms, a horned cap and a trident (and, of course, flip-flop sandals)—at the 1993 Tour de France and became almost instantly famous, pedaling a giant roadside bike and cheering on the racers. He is possibly the only fan ever to get his own sponsorships (Luk clutches, energy drink Green 'n Fit).
Dieter "Didi" Senft was born in Storkow, a town in the former East Germany, and grew up racing bikes himself. In a segment on his persona in the film The Last Kilometer he said that he used to secretly watch West German TV, which provided the inspiration for his costume.
Senft became almost instantly famous, with his wild white beard and manic superfan behavior. He traveled to Europe's biggest races in a campervan. A car mechanic by trade, he used his skills to build ever-more elaborate bicycle kinetic sculptures on queen stages of the races. One bicycle was almost eight meters long and nearly four meters high.
Sadly, all things must come to an end. Senft, who missed the 2012 Tour after surgery to remove a blood clot in his brain but returned the next year, will retire. According to a report in the German paper Bild, his sponsor income has dropped off and Senft can no longer afford to travel to races.
Senft has already inspired imitators and helped drive the wave of crazy costumes that now are a part of pro cycling. But there will only ever be one Devil.

What you need to know about the Procedure Act of 26 June 2003
In 2003, the Belgian legislator decided to fight cyber- and typosquatting crime by enacting the Act of 26 June 2003 (Belgisch Staatsblad [Belgian Official Gazette] of 9 September 2003) (now enshrined as Article XII.22 of the Code of Economic Law).
This act applies to:
All .be domain names
All domain name holders who have their place of residence or establishment in Belgium
The Act differs essentially from the scope of application of the ADR procedure. Domain names from generic domains (such as .com, .org, .net, .vlaanderen, .brussels, .club) and from domains with country codes (such as .nl, .fr, .de) fall under the act, but only if the holder has his/her/its place of residence or establishment in Belgium.
The procedure is initiated and processed as a claim in interlocutory proceedings before the president of the court of first instance or the commercial court.
Legal requirements for transfer
To obtain the transfer of the domain name, you must meet three cumulative requirements according to the Act:
The domain name is identical to or corresponds in such a way as to cause confusion with details such as:
a geographic location or designation of origin
a trade name
an original work
a name of a company or association
a family name or the name of a geographic entity,
etc. that belongs to someone else.
The registrant has no entitlement to or legitimate interest in that domain name.
The registrant acted with the intention of causing harm to a third party or of obtaining an unwarranted benefit.
If all three of these requirements are met, the president of the court may order both the deletion and the transfer of a domain name. We recommend that you ask for the transfer of the domain name, because otherwise you run the risk that once it has been deleted, the domain name will be registered again in bad faith.

If you haven't figured out that skinny belts are the latest fashion trend, then you may as well be living on a planet that isn't called Earth. Skinny belts came about in the early 1980s as a bastion of the disco style that thankfully died out in the 1970s. Fortunately for you and me, skinny belts made it out alive and coasted through the next decade as an acceptable, if often overlooked, style item.
If you're feeling a bit tame, you can go with black 1 inch skinny belts. These are best known as the "I'm boring" skinny belts and cool belts, but some people feel that these skinny belts are appropriate for certain occasions. They're good for a classier party, or something that doesn't require you to stand out at all. Wear it around your midriff with a shorter dress and you're still sure to get a few stares.
Skinny belts and cool belts come in all shapes and colors, so feel free to go absolutely wild with them. For instance, you can go with the dozen skinny belts mix that have all sorts of neon coloring. These are sure to help you make your mark on a party and really get your style to be noticed by both men and women alike. When you make a mark like this on your family and friends, they are sure to remember your style and the fact that you are someone who is able to buck current trends and think for themself.
Skinny belts can also be used for various costumes and theme parties. If you don't have skinny belts for this purpose, you should probably consider picking up just a couple in case you run into a situation where you need to use them. Creative examples would be to use skinny belts as a headband or even as wristbands. You can also use them as a holster for a fake gun if you're at a costume party. There really is no end to the possibilities with skinny belts.
Without skinny belts in your life, you are sure to have worse fashion sense! Skinny belts should be a staple of your fashion closet, with no outfit not being able to go very well with skinny belts. It is safe to say that they are the most versatile and exciting fashion accessory to come along in recent years. Try some out today and upgrade your fashion sense now!


This small compact group of islands named after the Orkney Islands in Scotland extend over about 80 miles, approximately 300 miles south west of South Georgia and 750 miles from Cape Horn. Consisting of four main islands as well as lots of rocky inlets and smaller inaccessible islands, 85% of this barren landscape of ice and rock is glaciated, with very little vegetation – in fact the two principle islands, Laurie & Coronation, are enveloped in permanent ice!
Discovered in December 1821 by seal hunters based on the South Shetland Islands, the South Orkney Islands are, to this day, completely uninhabited by humans.
Location: 600km from the Antarctic Peninsula.
Four major islands: Coronation, Signy, Powelland and Laurie.
Whaling: a station operated here from 1920 to 1926.
History: discovered by American and British sealers in 1821.
Coronation Island is the largest island at a length of about forty miles, and is named after its discovery in the year of the coronation of King George IV. On the smaller, low-lying island of Signy, the British Antarctic Survey established a base to study the penguin, seabird and seal biology in the area. The Argentinean research station is on Laurie Island, renamed Orcada in 1951, this is the oldest human establishment in the Antarctic. Powell Island is the last of the main four, but there are lots of other inaccessible islands and rocky inlets that complete the set.
In the winter, the islands are, in essence, linked by continuous pack ice that extends from the Weddell Sea. Birds flock to this stark land, with plentiful skues, gulls, terns, cormorants and sheathbills. In the crags and rocky cliffs, Pintado petrels and snow petrels breed, and some of the rocky shores and beaches play home to fur seals. Three species of penguin also call the area home: chinstrap, Adelie and Gentoo. However the fairytale-like landscape, where big icebergs from the Weddell Sea often run aground, is a huge attraction in itself. It was here that James Weddell spotted the seal species that now bears his name, and you can still see them here, as well as elephant and leopard seals. Sadly the fur seal was hunted almost to extinction in the 1800s, but its population is slowly increasing over time.
The South Orkney Islands are often visited on our Antarctic safaris, usually alongside the South Shetland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula on one of our ice strengthened expedition ships.


1 This text does not name K'inich Kan B'alam II, but it quite cleary refers to his birth.
2 This is the only reference to K'inich Kan B'alam II where his name does not include the K'inich prefix.
3 K'inich Kan B'alam II is portrayed twice in these tablets, both as a young man and as an adult king (this argument was first proposed by Karen Bassie [1991: 202-210, 218-219]).
4 K'inich Kan B'alam II is not named with his royal name (he was still a young heir on this date), but reference to his parentage (K4-K6) leaves no doubt that the reference is to him. His name phrase (K1b?-K3) possibly includes his child name, as well as other recognisable titles he used once he was king.
5 The date is not stated, but clearly the reference is to 9.10.8.9.3, the heir designation of K'inich Kan B'alam II, parallelling the structure of the Tablets of the Sun and Cross. K'inich Kan B'alam II is not named specifically, but he is referred to as the b'ah ch'ok, or 'First Prince'.
6 These piers portray standing figures cradling a child-like figure in their arms. In each case the child is portrayed with attributes of K'awil, the personification of divinity. It has long been argued (see, for example, Schele and Mathews 1998: 99-100) that the child is none other than the future king K'inich Kan B'alam II, being publicly presented to his people (likely on the date 9.10.8.9.3, AD 641, when his later texts say he was officially designated as heir. On Pier B he is held by the founder of Palenque's royal line, K'uk' B'alam I, in an allegorical scene. On Piers C and D his parents Ix Sak K'uk' and K'inich Janab' Pakal I present the young prince. Finally, on Pier E K'inich Kan B'alam II is held by his earlier namesake Kan B'alam I.
7 I believe that K'inich Kan B'alam II is referred to in this text at K1, possibly by his child name. His name is immediately followed by an abbreviated reference to his father K'inich Janab' Pakal I (who is simply called the 'Holy Palenque Lord').
8 My interpretation of this passage in the Palace Tablet is that technically it refers to K'inich Kan B'alam II twice; hence my inclusion here of Text References 16 and 17. I paraphrase the passage (K6-L11) as follows: '[On] 8 Ok 3 K'ayab' was seated the younger brother person, the prince, the Ballplayer K'inich Kan B'alam [II]; it was the accession holy name of the Holy Palenque Lord, the Ballplayer'.
9 The inscription of this broken monument has been brilliantly reconstructed by David Stuart. Nothing of this passage survives, but if Stuart is correct, K'inich Kan B'alam would have been named at about M2-N3 of the inscription.
10 I have reconstructed this date on the basis of the drawing of the monument by Ignacio Armendáriz, the artist on Antonio del Río's expedition to Palenque in 1787.
11 The standing ruler portrayed on this monument is most likely K'inich Kan B'alam II, but in view of the earlier passages in the inscription of the tablet, it could be the portrait of an earlier ruler.
12 Simon Martin (2003:164) was the first to make the argument that this passage refers to K'inich Kan B'alam II's overseeing of the royal inauguration of the Moral ruler Muwan Jol.
13 The identification of this event as a mass conjunction involving Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, and the Moon was first made by Floyd Lounsbury (cf. Schele and Freidel 1990:473-474).
14 This large jade cylinder pectoral bead was one of the thousands of objects found in the Sacred Cenote at Chich'en Itza. It is incised with a recognisable portrait of K'inich Kan B'alam II, and the accompanying inscription contains three dates, one of which is the planetary mass conjunction discussed in Comment 12. The first passage names K'inich Kan B'alam II. There can be no doubt that this object originated in Palenque, but how it ended up in the Sacred Cenote is not clear.
15 The glyphs describing the event are weathered, but other records of this same date at Palenque record a planetary mass conjunction.
16 K'inich Kan B'alam II is not named in this passage; I include it here because of its parallel with Texts 22-25 (in all of which he is mentioned).
17 Part of a title of K'inich Kan B'alam II is visible in what remains of glyph block Ap7b; his royal name was probably recorded in Bp7.
18 This monument is one of six that adorned the ballcourt at Tonina. Each of the six is a composite sculpture comprising two carved stones: the torso of a captive, carved in the round and tenoned into the sidewall of the ballcourt, and a larger, rectangular panel containing the kneeling feet of the captive and a large 'shield' panel containing a text of eight hieroglyphs. No date is recorded on any of the panels, but we know from at least one other Tonina monument that the dedicatory date of the ballcourt itself was (9.13.7.14.7) 7 Manik' 0 Muwan (21 Nov 699). The six captive sculptures presumably are portraits of individuals captured before this date. In fact we know from several other Tonina monuments that a series of war and capture events took place in the years leading up to the dedication of the ballcourt, and in four cases the names of captives are demonstrably the same as those on the ballcourt panels. Two individuals, Aj ??? and Chan Mas, were captured on 9.12.19.16.5 (9 Feb 692) and 9.13.1.0.4 (14 Mar 693), respectively. Two other individuals, named Sak B'alam and Yax Ak are known both from ballcourt panels and other Tonina monuments, but their dates of capture are unknown. In addition we know of three other individuals captured by K'inich B'aknal Chak (the contemporary king of Tonina) in the years leading up to the AD 699 ballcourt dedication. One is K'awil Mo', captured on 9.13.0.10.3 (AD 692), and the other two were Mam ??? Ajaw and Hus, captured on 9.13.4.13.10 (AD 696). Two of these three are the best candidates for the individuals portrayed and named on the other two ballcourt panels. The point here is that on the ballcourt panels and on some of the other Tonina monuments referring to the same individuals, the captives are described as the yajaw, 'the ajaw belonging to' and individual named only as Aj Pitzil, 'He the Ballplayer'. This is one of K'inich Kan B'alam II's favorite titles, and on the ballcourt panels it is immediately followed by the Palenque emblem glyph (B'akal Ajaw, 'Palenque lord'). This leaves almost no doubt that it is a reference to the Palenque king himself. In other words, the ballcourt captives are almost certainly subordinate nobles of K'inich Kan B'alam II, probably captured by K'inich B'aknal Chak of Tonina in reprisal for his predecessor's defeat at the hands of the Palenque king a few years earlier.
19 The name of this captive appears to be the same as one on a panel looted from Tonina, in which the capture date is recorded as (9.12.19.16.5) 12 Chikchan 18 Kumk'u (9 Feb 692). The reference to his overlord K'inich Kan B'alam II, which on the other ballcourt panels is recorded in the final two or three glyphs of the text, is broken off.
20 K'inich Kan B'alam II is named in this brief passage with reference to his having presided over one 'tun seating', or k'atun-ending. Even though the date is not specifically recorded, it must be 9.13.0.0.0—the only k'atun-ending date during his reign.
21 This monument was found in front of the Temple of the Cross. It almost certainly portrays K'inich Kan B'alam II, and the single date glyph on the stela probably records the period-ending date 9.13.0.0.0 (AD 692).
22 This monument records a military victory by Tonina over Palenque. The date is quite clear and there are three clauses in the explanatory passage. The first says that there was a 'star-war' against the 'tok' pakal' of 'Aj Pitzil', Palenque Ajaw'. The tok' pakal is a reference either to the sacred symbols of war of a Maya kingdom or (following a recent suggestion by David Stuart) a reference to the kingdom's army. The last two glyphs name the person who 'possessed' the Tok' Pakal. He is only referred to as 'The Ballplayer', but the fact that the Tok' Pakal was his and also the fact that the Palenque emblem glyph is attached to his name leave very little doubt that he is none other than K'inich Kan B'alam II. In this and other Tonina monuments he is referred to contemptuously by a title rather than with his formal royal name. The second passage refers to the individual capture of a person named K'awil Mo'—one of the nobles in K'inich Kan B'alam II's army. Finally, the third passage names the person responsible for the military defeat: K'inich B'aknal Chak, king of Tonina. K'awil Mo' was almost certainly one of the captives portrayed in sculptures adorning the ballcourt at Tonina (see Comment 20).
23 Very little detail survives from Monument 2, but it appears to record the date 9.13.0.10.3. If so, we can speculate that the accompanying passage recorded information similar to that of Texts 41 and 43.
24 Monument p59 is a statue base, dedicated on the date 9.13.5.0.0. It also contains the date 9.13.0.10.3, and says that it was the date of a capture. K'inich Kan B'alam II does not appear to be named, but given the statement in Text 43, it is likely that he was the overlord of the captive.
25 The reference to K'inich Kan B'alam II is broken off, but in view of the other ballcourt panels he almost certainly was named in the last two glyphs of the text as the overlord of the captive lord Chan Mas. The date of the capture was not recorded on the ballcourt panel, but is known from other Tonina monuments (Monuments 84, p35, and p62) to be (9.13.1.0.4) 8 K'an 7 Woh (14 Mar 693).
26 It is not clear that K'inich Kan B'alam II is named in this passage; I include here because the previous passage records his accession and this was a date from his reign.
27 K'inich Kan B'alam II is not named in this passage, but the date is the last period-ending date he celebrated, and it is tied in this passage to his death date 25 days later.
28 This panel does portray a figure, but it is not clear whether it is a portrait of K'inich Kan B'alam II.
29 This date appears to be a night event, 7 Kimi 3 Pop. The Long Count is presumably 9.13.10.1.6, but could be 9.13.10.1.5. Taken literally, the statement says that K'inich Kan B'alam II died during the night of 16/17 Feb, 702.
30 As reconstructed here, this date is a posthumous one. It is possible that the date should be 1 Calendar Round earlier, when the future king K'inich Kan B'alam II was only 18 years old.
31 K'inich Kan B'alam II was evidently a major focus of the stucco text recorded on the two end piers (A and F) of the Temple of the Inscriptions. One occurrence of his name (Text 52) is still in situ, and at least one other example of his name survives in a glyph that had fallen from one of the piers (Text 53), to be excavated by Alberto Ruz Lhuillier in 1949. Most of this text has been lost; many of the fallen glyphs were taken by travellers over the past two centuries.
32 This passage names the captive as Sak B'alam, and we know from Tonina Fragment 43 that he was captured on 8 Kumk'u—but the rest of the date is broken off. The date would have been in the years leading up to the dedication of the Tonina ballcourt (AD 699).
33 The captive is named as Yax Ak, Anayte' Ajaw. He is also named (and portrayed) on Tonina Monument p6 and Fragment 3. The date of his capture is unknown, but it would have been ca. AD 692-699.
34 A title of K'inich Kan B'alam II is visible in the surviving text; there is no doubt that this text refers to him.
35 This tablet is known only from drawings by Armendariz and Waldeck. There is no doubt that the figure portrayed is K'inich Kan B'alam II, but it is not clear whether he is named in the accompanying inscription.
36 This stone was found among the rubble on the front slope of the pyramid of the Foliated Cross. It possibly comes from above the panels flanking the sanctuary doorway in the Temple of the Foliated Cross, or possibly it is part of a throne seat.
37 This head (Schele and Mathews 1979, No. 370) is one of the most beautiful portrait heads produced by the ancient Maya—or by anyone else, for that matter. The distinctive profile of the head leaves no doubt that it is a portrait of K'inich Kan B'alam II.
38 This stucco head (Schele and Mathews 1979, No. 371) is broken—only the lower half of the face has survived—but enough remains of the profile to enable its identification as a portrait of K'inich Kan B'alam II.
39 This stucco head (Schele and Mathews 1979, No. 372) is also immediately recognisable as a portrait of K'inich Kan B'alam II.

Even the great Tinzes let out a warning rUll1ble, stat- ing, "Confidence in the Prime Minister personally is unabated but there is no firIl1 conviction that all his collaborators are equally fitted for the tasks imposed on thell1." This is a restrained way of saying that there is a firll1 conviction al110ng ordinary people that as long as the governn1ent includes such unpopu- lar figures as Captain Margesson and Colonel Moore-Brabazon, to mention only two, public confidence cannot be said to dwell stanchly therein.

Been doing a lot more to catch up on my Fink packages (and updates to a few that aren't mine) and have been working on getting KDE 3.4.2 cleaned up in unstable.
I found a bug in the kdepim3.info file. There are two places that refer to /sw instead of using %p. The first is in the compile script. The second is in the DescUsage section. BTW If you use %p in the DescUsage section you do get the right information when you run fink info packagename.
for more information on the xinitrc files and how they work.
