 Time Lord
Time lacks that narrative base, it is so nebulous that it might evade definition all together, by anyone.
Perhaps time should have two names, like "horse" and "equus," the one to stand for hardworking, domesticated time, that which we control and can describe—the calendars, clocks, minutes and hours of the civil day—and the other for the untamed and unnamable, that which nature has not yet released.
Standard time as we've inherited it is the final great achievement of Victorian rationality; unreformed, it is vulnerable to the same forces that swept away other golden keys to understanding.

 Principles in Serving the Lord Full-time (II)- long   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
It is also much harder for those who have served the Lord for years to be in life than the younger ones.
Instead, we have to learn, "Lord, in my life, give me mercy, that I would be so charged before You." When we have a charge, when we are burdened, then location or assignment makes no difference.
But in serving the Lord, we need to be desperate to put ourselves in limitations, in confinement, and even in frustrations.

 BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Atomic ticker clocks up 50 years
Atomic time is crucial for a plethora of telecommunications and computing applications, such as coordinating packets of data which are transferred across the net, global positioning satellite (GPS) systems and mobile telephony.
As net data is split in data streams and reassembled, for instance, the timing has to correct at the point of re-assembly.
Now, using a beam of caesium-133 atoms, generated from a special type of oven, the best present-day atomic clocks are able to keep time to within a 10th of a billionth of a second a day.

 SRîMAD BHÂGAVATAM: Time Quotes
S.B. surrender myself to Lord Kapila, who is the transcendental supreme personality, the origin of the world and full cognizance of the time and the three modes of nature; the maintainer of all the worlds, who in Himself after His own potency dissolved His manifestations and who is the power of independence.
By the external elements of Your forms and the particulars according the circumstance, time, sort of body and material position is there through You, as the exhibitor of all material causes, as the witness of all that is going on, as the witnessing itself, the eternal memory of the whole universe [the âkâshic record].
It is but with this Time that the Supreme Lord His glories are widespread, o King, by which to sattva the certainty of the numbers of gods is furthered and hence with those who are covered by rajas and tamas the inimical if found whereto He as the friend of the enlightened destroys the unenlightened.

We should be able to say, "When I come to the Lord, and when I come to the Bible, the Lord speaks a living and enlightening word to me." Whether it is the Lord or the Bible, this speaking is alive.
During the time when the Lord was not assured of that harmony, as at Gethsemane, He prayed, "Father, Your will be done." He desired to maintain His harmony, so He prayed for the Father's will to be done and not His own.
Lord, I thank You, because this is Your will for me. Lord, I thank You that You love me to such a degree.

 A Time Lord Case Study - HERO GAMES Discussion Boards
Apparently brilliance is just too uncomfortable for the senile Lords and rigid Ladies Temporal!” Ariyal’s words echoed in the deserted Panopticon, empty defiance that did nothing to soothe the pain and outrage she’d felt–was still feeling–when an authorized plurality of the High Council had dismissed her from her position as Valeyard.
Evidently, the Lords Temporal believe that race and position guarantees them victory in any argument...how unfortunate that the guarantee of Time Lord infallibility applies equally to both sides.

            When the Lord President recognizes Cardinal Livilla, the one female Cardinal who didn’t get involved in the verbal brawl with Ortigue, she twinkles at him.

And then there were those misfit Time Lords who’d departed Gallifrey voluntarily; the Self-Banished, living their primitive and rackety lives somewhere out in the encircling Cosmos...of which I have seen very little, and have no desire to see more.

A reader wanting nothing more than an history of standard time might be disappointed; Clark Blaise is a historian of science and empire, philosopher of time, spotter of trains, and he gives far more than his subtitle suggests.
Brimful of meticulously researched details and diverting tangents which jostle with thought-provoking generalizations, TIME LORD explores the implications of changing time for the human psyche, class relations, art forms, and the paragraph, giving the reader several acute histories for the price of one.

Not much is lost since all of the TIME covers were composed in such a way as to allow the magazine's title to run across the top of the painting.

The Third Doctor spent much of his time helping UNIT battle a variety of menaces, including the Silurians, the Sea Devils, the Autons, the Sontarans, and most importantly, another renegade Time Lord known as The Master, a former friend of The Doctor who would become his greatest single adversary.

In the middle of the nineteenth century, for example, there were 144 official time zones in North America alone.
The creation of standard time, with its two dozen global time zones, is one of the great inventions of the Victorian Era, yet it has been largely taken for granted.
In Time Lord, Clark Blaise re-creates the life of Sanford Fleming, who struggled to convince the world to accept standard time.

 CBC News: U.S. moves to extend daylight time
The U.S. Congress has adopted a plan to extend daylight time by two months each year as part of a sweeping new energy plan.
If U.S. President George W. Bush signs it into law, the plan means Americans would turn their clocks forward one hour on the first weekend of March, instead of April, and "fall back" on the final weekend in November instead of October.
Canadian critics of the adjustment argue children will be walking to school in darkness while drivers may face increased morning fl ice, which hasn't melted in the sun.
