  • Latin Derivatives Dictionary
    Dedication: 3/15/05 I dedicate this collection to my friends Orville and Evelyn Brynelson and my parents George and Marion Greenwald. I especially thank James Steckel, Barbara Zbikowski, Gustavo Betancourt, and Joshua Ellis, colleagues and computer experts extraordinaire, for their invaluable assistance. Kathy Hart, MUHS librarian, was most helpful in suggesting sources. I further thank Gaylan DuBose, Ed Long, Hugh Himwich, Susan Schearer, Gardy Warren, and Kaye Warren for their encouragement and advice. My former students and now Classics professors Daniel Curley and Anthony Hollingsworth also deserve mention for their advice, assistance, and friendship. My student Michael Kocorowski encouraged and provoked me into beginning this dictionary. Certamen players Michael Fleisch, James Ruel, Jeff Tudor, and Ryan Thom were inspirations. Sue Smith provided advice. James Radtke, James Beaudoin, Richard Hallberg, Sylvester Kreilein, and James Wilkinson assisted with words from modern foreign languages. Without the advice of these and many others this dictionary could not have been compiled. Lastly I thank all my colleagues and students at Marquette University High School who have made my teaching career a joy. Basic sources: American College Dictionary (ACD) American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (AHD) Oxford Dictionary of English Etymology (ODEE) Oxford English Dictionary (OCD) Webster’s International Dictionary (eds. 2, 3) (W2, W3) Liddell and Scott (LS) Lewis and Short (LS) Oxford Latin Dictionary (OLD) Schaffer: Greek Derivative Dictionary, Latin Derivative Dictionary In addition many other sources were consulted; numerous etymology texts and readers were helpful. Zeno’s Word Frequency guide assisted in determining the relative importance of words. However, all judgments (and errors) are finally mine.

  • Woodstock – Ian Margieson
    Woodstock – Ian Margieson Woodstock. A story by Ian Margieson. Chapter One. Saturday 23rd August 1969. With violins in our sunset, we hung around Orange for no longer than we needed to. After picking up a few supplies, we headed back out to the river. She seemed in a bullish mood, as if the discontent of earlier had left her. Either that or it had been bullied it into submission. We made a makeshift camp on the banks of the Sabine and under the now sinking Texan sun, we lit a fire, made from anything we could find and given ample ammunition by liberal douses of Southern Comfort. The ground was hard and the breeze was warm. On the other side of the river was a barbed wire fence, rusted from rain and shot through with animal fur. This was truly rustic America. The colour of the sky that evening was as sweet as any I can remember, its changing hue seemingly pulsating from somewhere within itself. With bottle in hand, she leaned herself back on one of the big old tyres of the Lincoln while I made myself comfortable on a log. She puffed on a cigarette, blowing the smoke into that of the bonfire, while the embers and splints crackled and sparkled against the twilight backdrop, like tiny pearls taking leave of their captivity. Every now and then, one of us would get up to check the sausages, cooking on a primitive spit and when they were ready, we took feast upon our humble banquet. Nothing tastes better than food prepared outside.

  • Download Lore Entry
    The lore of the Old Republic era of Star Wars is incredibly rich, and many pieces of this lore are captured through codex entries that can be discovered as you play Star Wars: The Old Republic progressing in the story, meeting new groups and organizations, and finding hidden lore objects. Below is a compilation of many of the lore codex entries from the the game, put together by a fan who enjoys the lore of the era. TYTHON TYTHON Location: Tython (Planet) The mysterious Deep Core world of Tython is the birthplace of the Jedi Order. Millennia ago, Tythonian warriors and scholars developed a unique mystic and martial philosophy while studying the Force. Today, their Jedi descendants excavate ancient Tythonian ruins and relearn what was lost. After the recent destruction of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, the Jedi made their new home on Tython. The mountainous planet remains mostly unexplored, and the violent natives pose a constant threat. The order remains committed to rebuilding here, however, and is now training a new generation of Padawans. REDISCOVERING TYTHON Location: Tython (Lore) The birthplace of the Jedi Order was lost for many thousands of years when known hyperspace lanes leading to the region collapsed–a fate that has befallen many worlds in the unstable heart of the galaxy known as the Deep Core. After the destruction of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, Satele Shan embarked on a search to rediscover the lost world. Guided by the Force, she ventured into the Deep Core and re- emerged with astrogation charts detailing a new series of stable hyperspace lanes.
