"Maybe he'll care once he wakes up in a dungeon," Felina snapped back. She was very worried about Cecy; having been the royal bodyguard for so long, she had become very attached to the Princess, loving her almost like a younger sister.
"I don't ask much of the warriors below me, save respect. If he can't offer me respect, then perhaps he'd prefer to work some other job, where he can be alone all the time and not have to work with anyone. I've seen cats die in the wars cuz of attitudes just like his, where they didn't care about anyone save their own interests."
Felina touched a scar which ran accross her cheek. It narrowly missed her right eye, and the hit could have blinded her in that eye had it struck home.
"If I shared Kioren's attitude," she said, "The Princess would have been dead. I got this fighting off that assassin a few years back. Nothing matters to me cept defending the Princess and that is how it's always going to be, no matter what anyone else thinks."
In the caves, Phelan heard the scream, but didn't bother to go running. He felt that it would do the spoiled cat good to realise that here no-one was going to dance attendance on her. In any case, he had to bank up the sides of the fire to keep it in one place so that it would be reasonably safe.

I'm trying to get my nav to look like this -
I think (but there's a 99% chance that I'm wrong) I have to change this line

so that it only creates two lists items and then another line that creates the subsequent three.
Could someone tell me how I could do this? Thanks!

Pre-Ignition is a sign that you are running your engine too lean.
As with all engine problems start with the fuel tank, make sure all fuel tubing (inside too) does not have any holes in it.

The quality of Great Planes die cutting is very good, and I have never had an issue or problem related to their die cutting.

Chili-Braised Fish With Tomatoes and Potatoes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 1/2 pounds new potatoes (about 15), cut into 3/4-inch pieces
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 2 poblano peppers, thinly sliced
- kosher salt and black pepper
- 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1 pint grape tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, plus more for serving
- 4 6-ounce pieces skinless cod, tilapia, or striped bass fillet
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes, onion, 1 of the poblanos, and ½ teaspoon salt. Cover and cook, stirring often, until the potatoes begin to soften, 12 to 14 minutes (reduce heat to medium if the skillet becomes too brown).
- Add the broth, tomatoes, oregano, and the remaining poblano to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, scraping up the brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Season the fish with ¼ teaspoon each salt and black pepper and place on top of the vegetables. Cover and simmer until the potatoes are tender and the fish is opaque throughout, 8 to 12 minutes more. Sprinkle with additional oregano.

Berkeleys Philosophy of Mathematicsby Douglas M. Jesseph
Pub. Date: 09/28/1993
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
In this first modern, critical assessment of the place of mathematics in Berkeley's philosophy and Berkeley's place in the history of mathematics, Douglas M.

In this first modern, critical assessment of the place of mathematics in Berkeley's philosophy and Berkeley's place in the history of mathematics, Douglas M. Jesseph provides a bold reinterpretation of Berkeley's work. Jesseph challenges the prevailing view that Berkeley's mathematical writings are peripheral to his philosophy and argues that mathematics is in fact central to his thought, developing out of his critique of abstraction. Jesseph's argument situates Berkeley's ideas within the larger historical and intellectual context of the Scientific Revolution.
Jesseph begins with Berkeley's radical opposition to the received view of mathematics in the philosophy of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, when mathematics was considered a "science of abstractions." Since this view seriously conflicted with Berkeley's critique of abstract ideas, Jesseph contends that he was forced to come up with a nonabstract philosophy of mathematics. Jesseph examines Berkeley's unique treatments of geometry and arithmetic and his famous critique of the calculus in The Analyst.
By putting Berkeley's mathematical writings in the perspective of his larger philosophical project and examining their impact on eighteenth-century British mathematics, Jesseph makes a major contribution to philosophy and to the history and philosophy of science.

Harriet Cavalli's new book, Dance and Music, is available on Amazon.com. I have not seen it yet, but I would think this would be a great book for teachers who work with pianists, or to give to pianists who play for classes. I have ordered it, so will let you know more once it arrives.

Sight unseen, I can recommend anything Harriet Cavalli does. She was my favorite pianist for class at Joffrey and a great favorite with the company when we were on tour and we hit Seattle, and would play for company class now and then. One helluva fine musician!

DULUTH, Minn. (July 18, 2013)--Three elderly sisters and their sister-in-law are once again sharing their life experiences after they were reunited at a Duluth care center.
At 91, Florence Strom, is the baby among the sisters.
Dorothy Wotczak is 101 and sister Lillian Lund is 104.
Their sister-in-law, Theresa Anderson, is 93.
The four are again living under one roof, sharing stories and enjoying each other's company at St. Eliguis Health Center in Duluth, Minn.
Wotczak says the sisters share memories of dance halls they used to frequent on Fridays, Saturdays and sometimes Sundays.
Strom said the women were very close growing up and had a lot of fun.
Yes, Strom said, they had their disagreements, but they always knew they shared a family bond and loved each other.


text: Posted September 10, 2012 Sure. Did too during the super bowl loss. The Seahawks loss. And 08. Quit that after I grew up and got tired of poor Carolina football. Only thing that has me still attach to this team is no.89. Not Cam. Bc I'm not bandwagoner that jumped on the shipp when Cam threw for 400yds vs the Cardinals. You know why this forum sucks so damn badd now. Bc we have NEWBIES that are riding Cam's nuts and they acts like they know fb. Only come on here to talk poo. I only speak the truth. RR can't be a successful HC. It's all Chud and Cam. Then stop supporting the fuging team Chuck. Nobody is holding you here. If you feel like RR "will never be a good coach". Then move to another team with a coach you like and will support. Don't worry you won't be missed. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Australian man who was killed in Syria last week was
allegedly fighting for al-Qaeda affiliate Jabhat al-Nusra,
media reports say.
Yusuf Ali and his wife Amira Ali from Granville in Sydney
were killed in the war-torn country amid infighting between
rebel forces.
Court documents filed late last month allege Mr Ali was in
Syria to "engage in hostile activity", the ABC reported on
It is alleged that a Sydney man helped Mr Ali enter Syria
"with the intent to engage in a hostile activity, in
particular engaging in armed hostilities".
An unnamed friend of the couple, who were both 22, has
reportedly told the ABC that before Mr Ali left for Syria
last year he had said he was going to fight alongside
Mr Ali also reportedly told friends that he would not be
returning to Australia or the United States, were it is
reported that he was born.
Following their death, tributes to the pair on Facebook
claimed they had been "martyred".

SPARTANBURG — Eric Breitenstein ran for three touchdowns and 247 yards on Saturday as Wofford opened the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs with a 23-7 victory over New Hampshire on Saturday.
Breitenstein broke free for a 54-yard TD run on the Terriers' first possession and Wofford's defense kept the Wildcats (8-4) of the Colonial Athletic Association out of synch throughout. Breitenstein also scored on a 6-yard run right before halftime and a 26-yard burst in the third quarter that sealed things for the Terriers (9-3) of the Southern Conference.
Wofford (9-3) will take on either North Dakota State or South Dakota State in next week's quarterfinals.
The Terriers came in as the country's second-best FCS rushing team at more than 348 yards a game. They had surpassed that total in the third quarter and ended with 454 yards on the ground.
New Hampshire lost its opening playoff game for the second straight season.
NORFOLK, Va. — Taylor Heinicke threw for six touchdowns and rushed for two more while leading Old Dominion over Coastal Carolina 63-35 in a second-round Football Championship Subdivision playoff game.
Heinicke completed 32 of 44 passes for 497 yards and rushed seven times for 45 yards. His six touchdown passes tied an FCS playoff record and his 542 yards total offense established another mark.
The sophomore's 4,655 passing yards in 2012 are the second-highest single-season total in FCS history.
Old Dominion (11-1) will play Georgia Southern in next week's quarterfinals.
Heinicke threw for touchdowns on three consecutive possessions after Coastal Carolina (8-5) tied the game at 35 late in the third period. Larry Pinkard caught three touchdown passes for Old Dominion, including a 6-yarder that put the Monarchs ahead for good with 1:52 remaining in the third period.
Strom Thurmond grad Aramis Hillary passed for 352 yards and three touchdowns for the Chanticleers.

HUDSON � Time is running out for residents to submit feedback on the first four draft chapters of the town�s master plan.
Residents have until Friday to submit feedback to the Master Plan Steering Committee on the four draft chapters that were released in December. The committee released drafts of the economic development, housing, recreation and preservation chapters in hopes of receiving feedback.
Town officials have said feedback is important in helping the committee fine tune the master plan, which is being updated for the first time in 50 years.
The committee is expected to release draft chapters on transportation; energy; public health and social services; land use; public buildings and facilities; community vision and goals; and the implementation of the plan in the coming months.
Residents can view the draft chapters on the town�s website and provide comments by emailing email@example.com. The completed master plan will likely be revealed in the summer.

Excellent SSDs; Questionable Cloning Software 12/29/2013
This review is from: SAMSUNG 840 EVO MZ-7TE250BW 2.5" 250GB SATA 6Gb/s 1x nm Samsung Toggle DDR 2.0 3-Bit MLC NAND Flash Memory (400Mbps) Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
● Samsung currently makes what are probably the best consumer-grade SSDs.
● The Samsung Magician software offers some of the most useful utilities of any manufacturer
● The performance is beyond outstanding
● The pricing is competitive
The included "Data Migration" software appears to have issues.
I am writing this review with some reluctance as I do not wish (and do not intend) for my observations to cast a shadow on the excellent Samsung SSDs, themselves. I believe Samsung to be the finest consumer-grade SSDs currently available.
This review (and my "1 Egg" score) is limited strictly to the Samsung "Data Migration" cloning software.
As noted in other reviews, the Data Migration software does not always do a perfect job of cloning the source drive. Newegg currently identifies "30 similar statements" to what I will observe below, so I am not the only one experiencing these issues.
I recently -- 12/20/13 -- posted a review praising the EVO 250 SSD but noted that although the included Data Migration software copied my C partition, it failed to copy the "Factory Restore" D partition. Additionally, I also noted that when I installed the cloned drive my graphics card driver had become corrupted and had to be reinstalled (it was - and still is - fine on the source drive).
Since that time, I have also found that on three separate computers (different brands), the drives cloned with Data Migration software (although they did boot up and run) would not allow me to create a System Image backup. I got a message (on all three) reading: "The backup failed. There is not enough disk space to create the volume...".
Counter intuitively, this message is **NOT** referring to lack of space on an external backup drive (mine has over 800 gigs free), but points to an issue with the cloned drive. The problem appears to be due to an unwarranted expansion of the System Reserved volume size brought about by a corruption in the Change Journal system -- on the Data Migration cloned drives.
In all three cases, I (re)cloned the original source drives (to the Samsung SSDs) using Apricorn EZ-Gig and all three times the clones turned out perfect (no corrupted drivers, copied the D partitions) and allowed me to create System Images with no issues.
As previously noted, all three SSDs cloned with Samsung's Data Migration software did boot up OK, so it is quite possible that numerous others who have not yet tried to create a System Image backup of their "Data Migration cloned drives" might experience this problem.
I have been told that Samsung people read these reviews. So I would ask them to look into the issues I have outlined above.
Other Thoughts:
I currently own 4 Samsung Pro SSDs and 1 EVO in various computers and they are the best performing SSDs I have ever installed. I had not run into the issues mentioned earlier because the first few times I installed Samsung SSDs, I used EZ-Gig to clone the source drives to the Samsungs. Only recently have I tried/used the Samsung Data Migration software.
Do not allow the above review of Samsung's "Data Migration" software to prejudice you against purchasing a Samsung SSD. I highly recommend them and will purchase more in the future. I would also, however, recommend using Apricorn EZ-Gig (a free download), or some other cloning software you trust, to copy your source drive to the Samsung.

By ERIC HARRIS, Film Review
Every year a film is released that screams, "Oscar!" and this year that film is "The King's Speech." Unfortunately, some people are turned off by films that seem destined for awards because the very synopsis of such films come off as pretentious. It's understandable why some would be put off by the story of a stuttering Duke of York (Colin Firth) in pre-WWII Britain.
That's right; "The King's Speech" is all about a king with a speech impediment.

CANNELTON – More drug-possession arrests are being made in Cannelton, but Police Chief Eric Dickenson said it's because "our use of a canine is paying off."
The dog, also named Eric, "is doing a good job," he said at a regular common-council meeting Feb. 14.

Wedding Guest Book for Megan & Adam done western style
Category: Wedding
About the Creator
I love taking photographs because in a moment, I get to freeze something forever........something I can savor again later on and maybe someone else will get to enjoy it too. And since these "senior moments" seem to be happening more often, I need all the help I can get to remember something. Also photography gives me a good excuse to be adventuresome, travel, take a road trip, see new places, be outdoors and go hiking and camping.........or maybe it's the other way around. Either way, it's my kind of fun.

Reading the John Updike stories: 'Toward Evening'
The Library of America recently published 'John Updike: The Collected Stories,' a two-volume boxed set of 186 stories arranged in chronological order. I'm reading one or more a week and commenting on them each Wednesday until I finish the collection or give up.
"Toward Evening," as its title suggests, is a slight story preoccupied with a dreamy state of fading light and lust. Tired Rafe catches a bus in front of St. Patrick's Cathedral. He helps boost a chubby woman on to the bus. »Read Full Blog Post
Camping is key at Alpine Valley, promoter says
Mark Campana, co-president of North America concerts for Live Nation, may believe the BMO Harris Bradley Center is operating "way below the midline," but that's also the case in recent years for Live Nation-operated Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy. It is hosting just three concerts this summer, all in August: an annual appearance by Jimmy Buffett, a KISS and Def Leppard double header and a hip-hop tour headlined by Wiz Khalifa.
What could help Alpine Valley? One word: camping. »Read Full Article
As the live music business booms, the Bradley Center lags
Last year was the best ever for the live music industry. And it was one of the worst for the BMO Harris Bradley Center's concert business.
Global revenue for concerts was at least $4.8 billion, according to Billboard, with North American revenue up 26% over 2012. »Read Full Article(27)

|Run for Congress
|Host a radio talk show
|Remain silent and enjoy his family
|831 total votes
Traficant 2010
Yes, Traficant did some good for the valley. Let's get that said, right up front. He went to bat for the little guy on countless occasions, he got us at least one of the two federal courthouses, as well as the Covelli Center. He was evidently a talented mediator, brokering deals between striking unions and hardheaded, unrelenting management.
We all know the felony charges he was convicted of. We all know his 2-minute-speeches in Congress were frequently so far out in left field that nobody in DC missed them, just for the laugh. We all remember his desire, as Sheriff, to surround the FBI Building in DC with Mahoning County Deputies. We all remember that he embarassed this valley countless ways, countless times. If he has any class at all, he'll bow out of the limelight, and live out the rest of his life quietly. Personally, I doubt he's capable of doing that. God help me, I agree with deSouza's comment - nobody of any consequence or importance anywhere, including this valley, has any respect for Traficant.
If he hosts a radio talk show, will he broadcast the dirt on other talk show hosts?
He is a felon not because he challEnged the IRS and the FBI. He is a felon because he violated the public trust, committed numerous illegal acts and broke the law.
He is a felon BECAUSE HE COMMITTED CRIMES!
Get it?
Noone looks out for the working man. It's all about money. Jim did. We need more like him to fight for us not big corps.
Considering a recent poll that concluded 42% said a random name selection from a phone book could run congress better than those elected.
I would like to hear the voice of Jim on a no holds barred talk show. But think he needs sometime with family and friends. So until then I will look forward to the JT show on the AM dial ,in the morning someday.
I watched the trail and I still think he got railroaded.. Whole lot truth to what I read, The Good Congressmen said at His dinner. I know, Die Hard, Conservative Republicans that Respect what he's done for His District in the hardest of Situations. God Bless someone with Balls.
Maybe there's a chance (Hey, Phil Chance could co-star?) for another "Walking Tall" sequel? Always thought Jimbo might play a decent Buford Pusser...and now, Boom Boom can be the director.
Is Joe Don Baker still alive?
Get on Board!!!!
What I remember about Jim,
When he held the badge he broke down doors with his men, he did not wait behind a desk for his men to come back. He went to schools and talked to the kids about the dangers in the streets and getting an education. A person I was dear to could not get dissability but couldn't walk 20 feet across a room, Jim got it for her. When people were loosing their homes, he wouldn't foreclose. When workers were being handed a raw deal from their employer and on strike, he mediated untill the strike was over. On the congressional floor he was the only one who talked common sence (20) years before his time while no others did. He warned of what was to happen and now we are here. He brought us court house, the Covelli center, the 711, and countless other projects. I do not remember any other person doing all he did for this area and for the common every day man, Do you ? Yes he was convicted, but I question alot about that trial. Evidence that was not allowed on his behalf, and countless others including the court room being surrounde by deputies. No other trial in history had that number present, I am sure seeing that while being on the jury had influence. I have seen many others caught doing more then he did ( not excusing it ) but they did not get anything close to what he did. There has been murderers who got less time then he did. All I know he is lucky ! Other men in history who did the right thing for the everyday everyday man were assasinated.
Good luck JIm,
P.S. Do you here anything from our present elected officials or remember anything they have done lately ?

About Us
"In the early days of the sugar plantations, lunch was a simple affair. Plantation workers gathered in the fields for their mid-day meal. The Japanese laborers would bring teriyaki beef with rice and pickled vegetables. Seated next to them might be their Filipino neighbors with the traditional dish adobo or perhaps a pork or chicken stew. The Koreans had their kalbi or marinated ribs and the Chinese a rice noodle and vegetable dish called chow fun. Hawaiians were known for their kalua pig, roasted in an underground oven called an imu. It wasn't long before they began to share their foods with one another and the "mixed plate" was born.

When you think of Christmas, you think of joy. You think of glamorous décor -- bits of tinsel littering lawns and living rooms; trees bloated with shiny bulbs; strings of colorful lights draping porches and garages. But not all Christmases are wrapped perfectly in glossy silver paper with a white bow on top.
I don't spend a lot of time with my family in general. I think the main reason is that I'm the crazy-progressive-political relative, but part of it is that I'm a lesbian -- one who doesn't blend and pass quietly as an unmarried lady with a lady roommate who happens to come along to family events. Few people are overtly rude, but the expectation that I not make waves is very strong.
The period beginning with Thanksgiving and ending with New Year's is the busiest long-distance travel season of the year. This means that many of us will see relatives for the first time in many months. Use holiday family gatherings as an opportunity to look closer, listen harder and determine if your help is needed.

DiDio & Lee Says DC Will Take the Time to Do "Watchmen"/Rebirth Story 'Right'
Comic Books
According to this show I'm trying to watch, S.H.I.E.L.D. is "a giant bureaucratic organization that is tracking your every move." This is interesting, (or rather it isn't), because we already have the NSA. This most recent comic book inspired television show is unfortunately less exciting or exhilarating than the comic book and worse – it is even more tedious than real life. Like most comic book readers, I'm constantly asked by friends and family who (meaning well) think the television and movie adaptations of superhero comics will appeal to me, operating under the assumption that this is the "kind of thing I like". It is frustrating and embarrassing to be associated with this endless parade of mediocrity, and I'm finding it increasingly difficult not to lecture them about how little these disappointing offerings have to do with the power and potential of comic books.
Over the years we've all got used to the fact that superhero comic books aren't going to be adapted (for large or small screens) in ways we want them to, the comic book reading experience is just too personal. Instead we've learned to appreciate what we can, and ignore the worst offenders. The current batch of superhero movies has had it's ups and downs, some things worked for some people and some didn't. On television, the current show Arrow, like Smallville before it, is targeting a melodrama-hungry audience with messy romantic entanglements interspersed with exhibitions of power and bluster. This is not what attracts me to these heroes. It is confusing to me that this is what some people think is needed to make a heroic story engaging. Not only is this not what I read comic books for, it is not what I watch television for. Far from speaking to a superhero-curious audience, my worst fear is that this is the kind of thing which will turn people off and push them away from looking deeper into the medium.
When I was a kid, my first experience of S.H.I.E.L.D. was as an bizarre organization which existed on the periphery of everything too weird to make sense. S.H.I.E.L.D. had crazy renegade agents with removable, recordable memories in Elektra: Assassin. Captain America was always going off for tests at S.H.I.E.L.D. and who knows what they were doing to his well-preserved body? When the Guardians of the Galaxy showed up in Earth orbit, it was S.H.I.E.L.D. that tracked them. Tony Stark would make weird weapons deals with S.H.I.E.L.D. And when I saw Steranko's take on S.H.I.E.L.D. it felt like the ultimate psychedelic cool spy story. Time and time again, S.H.I.E.L.D. seemed like the bastion of everything too big and too strange to exist and when they announced the TV show we all knew it might not be THAT crazy, but I don't think anyone expected this endless parade of chiseled-people-in-suits-looking-uptight interspersed with inexperienced, incongruous science cuties.
Oddly, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has attempted to reserve all of it's drama to lingering shots of bored looking actors. Perhaps they intend to emote something, but I'm not sure what… exhaustion or confusion? They certainly are a far cry from the wild confidence of Nick Fury. Black or white, in whatever era he is depicted, Nick Fury was always a tightly wound ball of urgency and a compelling character to build an agency around. Unfortunately that's not what Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. have done. Instead someone made the decision to build a show around a dead guy (who's probably a LMD). I recognize that some people feel connected to the character because he was used as a device to force the heroes to get off their asses and save the world in the Avengers movie (and that's a whole other can of worms; since when do superheroes need a reason to save the bloody world?). He's great as a side-character, but I struggle with him as a charismatic lead and I'm very disappointed by the amount of people in suits I'm expected to be interested in. Not a one of them is super heroic. They're all just getting on with their jobs and having offbeat social skills (which, by the way, is a cute Whedonesque trick for teens, but I'm becoming quite irritated by this trait applying to everyone. People over 25, especially high ranking government agents, aren't all cute and dorky).
Exhibiting an confusing misunderstanding about the appeal of superhero comic books, television companies continue to bring us shows which lean heavily on melodrama, shunting to the background the fact that these are superheroes choosing to do an impossible job. Maybe television executives fear alienating their audience by showing us meager humans something super or heroic. If that is true then they think very little of the audience, implying that our own self-worth is dependent on demeaning and belittling the heroes we need so badly.
A great deal of what is always appealing about superheroes is the way in which they present a solution to fill a real-world problem, where there are no larger-than-life figures to instantly right all the wrongs. Of course superheroes are a powerful concept, when many of us feel a sense of empathic horror at the pain and suffering experienced by our fellow humans and making what small efforts we can to make the world a better place often feels like swimming against an insurmountable tide. The idea of superheroes has never been more appealing than it is right now, so then why does it feel like television companies hobble the very properties they're (supposedly) adapting? I feel lucky that we still have a world rich with heroes in our comic books, more potently realized than this screen adaptation has managed… so far.
I think what we're running into with these shows is they're being adapted to network formulas which strip out many of the qualities that make these characters and concepts interesting. Agents of SHIELD is a procedural, like CSI or NCIS. Arrow is a action-melodrama like other CW shows. People talk about budget but I think it's the narrow thinking of broadcast networks that hobble things.
I think Arrow is starting to feel out a better path but I don't have much hope for SHIELD. Part of the reason is because action/melodrama is closer to the spirit of the source material than a procedural. Maybe if Joss Whedon were more directly involved he could find a way to bring the characters more zip but as it stands, there's nothing that makes the show stand out besides its connection to movies and comics people like. Sure that could change as the show develops (as Arrow seems to be doing) but the window to accomplish it is closing.
@Dan It seems odd to say that after 25 or so episodes Arrow is moving in a direction that you like but after 5 episodes Agents of SHIELD's window is closing.
I may be too uncritical, as I do watch quite a bit of scripted TV and enjoy pretty much everything that I watch, either for its quality, or its hilarious badness (hey there, Dexter!) but I am enjoying SHIELD so far and do feel like it is "being written for the trade", with a fair bit of long form serialized plot interwoven.
I find the article writer's complaints hard to pin down, since they seem to not like what SHIELD is but I can't get a grip on what she does want/hope for it to be. Since the role of superheroes is brought up in the last couple of paragraphs, I wonder if it is as simple as wanting it to be a superhero show when it is very explicitly intended to not be a superhero show.
I recognize that some people feel connected to the character because he was used as a device to force the heroes to get off their asses and save the world in the Avengers movie (and that's a whole other can of worms; since when do superheroes need a reason to save the bloody world?).
I agree with you, but the problem comes from a generation of post-Star Wars screenwriters who think Jospeh Campbell's monomyth is prescriptive rather than descriptive and treat it as an instruction manual for writing. With all movies made to be the presumptive first part of a trilogy, movie #1 now always follows the "Departure" part of the monomyth. So now there has to be the call to adventure, then the refusal of the call to adventure, then the eventual acceptance of the quest, like clockwork, even if it doesn't make sense within the context of the specific character and adaptation. So at some point, the Avengers have to refuse the call simply because screenwriters believe that's what Campbell tells them to do.
The worst offender for inappropriately shoehorning a story into Monomyth is Abram's Star Trek though.
Steve, I think you might have misread the article a bit.
Sonia doesn't need me to explain what she wrote, but I think saying SHIELD isn't intended to be a "superhero" show is disingenuous. In the narrow confines of the MCU, SHIELD is all about superheroes — finding them, analyzing them, dealing with them if need be. The pilot certainly conveyed this image, and the promos have traded on it incessantly. There was a cottage industry as to whether J. August Robinson's character was meant to be Luke Cage, for example. To say that it isn't a superhero show is at least a little disingenuous.
Five episodes in, this is better than Arrow was, in my thinking — but that is faint praise. Arrow didn't find its stride until, of all things, the Christmas episode — usually when a show can get derailed.
Sonia nailed it. I've tried this show repeatedly, hoping the kinks got worked out …but it isn't so much that there are kinks, it's more than none of these characters is even vaguely interesting. They refer to the scientists as one person, and they might as well be. It's boring, charisma-deficient actors (or characters, hard to tell) doing just another TV show. There's a reason I don't watch TV; it's terrible. SHIELD so far isn't even worth free Hulu when I'm doing something else, as background.
And don't get me started on that WhedonWoman we're supposed to find charming. Jesus H.
I've never tried Arrow due to Marc Guggenheim's involvement. That guy's stuff really leaves me cold.
Last week's episode had me hoping the corner had been turned, but last night's has me considering giving up. Sonia is spot on about Coulson's limits. None of the other characters (except maybe Melinda May) are anything other than two-dimensional. Skye's big secret is that she's looking for her missing parents? Really? How original.
As Most Honorable noted, it's hard to tell if it's the characters or the writing, but whatever is at fault, the show is simply dreary. And the action scenes come off as movie-spectacular wannabes. And, please, stop named dropping the MCU at ever awkward opportunity. We get it. We're not stupid. If you are going to refer to it, please do it organically or subtly, not with pointless character pronouncements. (Coulson was stabbed in the battle of New York? Really? I didn't know.) I wouldn't mind the procedural format if it were smart, but this show has very little brains. What a disappointment.
The group I'm the show are clearly dragged together rejects, probably as a way of making Coulson feel okay about himself. Why? We'll see if it isn't cancelled. What are SHIELD proper up to? That is a more interesting question, and if things go well maybe we will get an answer. I get that some people don't want to wait for an answer but I reckon it's on the way anyhow.
Here's a question. When Coulson said "This isn't my first rodeo" what was his first and is that going to become relevant?
They DO seem to be setting up Skye as their first superhero ripped from the comics though, don't they? She's searching for her missing parents that SHIELD seemed to have a hand in disappearing. Isn't that part of Jessica Drew's origin? Maybe that will turn out to be Skye's birth name.
They continue having moments where Fitz is clearly ga-ga over her, hinting at her pheromone powers, (also helping explain why Coulson and Ward put up with her against their better judgement.)
Then she'd just be "Boring Spider-Woman" instead of "Boring …um …good at computers, I guess? Girl."
Once again, Sonia, it all comes down to the Jay Sherman manifesto:
"If the movie stinks, just don't go."
If you think Agents of SHIELD stinks, just don't watch it.
Ultimately, if you want someone to blame for your problems with how the show has been 'stripped down' (and its contemporaries as well), yes blame the writers, but also blame the accountants.
They should keep every character with a photo in Sonia's article. The rest of them should be phased out.
None of the bad guys have been shown wearing cylindrical, yellow helmets so this isn't the real S.H.I.E.L.D.
Arrow was creaky after 5 episodes, but at least it had a few engaging characters, a couple of mystery hooks and thus some hope for improvement. Even in the weaker episodes it was at least holding attention with some actually interesting cliffhangers. So when the show started getting its act together, it wasn't completely unexpected.
The characters in Shield are either bland or outright annoying. The guest stars have usually been pretty bad as well. The show is basically subsisting on the Coulson mystery, Skye's true loyalties, and the Marvel connection. The second of those may have been put to rest already.
The Coulson mystery barely seems like a mystery. He's an LMD and nobody wants to tell him.
I mean, I suppose it's possible they could go a way I don't expect, but… eh. Maybe it's not fair to judge it for using something the casual viewer wouldn't know about, but man, if you do know, well, the payoff would have to be pretty great, and I'm not really that engaged.
Honestly, if they killed everyone tomorrow and a new team took over, would anyone really care?
Edit Of Shield – reedits of Agents of Shield anyone?
Episode 3 OPEN REDUX
A Phantom Edit of Episode 2
I guess it doesn't help that I was bothered by the omnipresence of SHIELD (and a meddling, militaristic version of it too!) in the movies. I am rooting for SHIELD to be phased out of the movies, not for seeing more of it in the meantime.
And Coulson, most of all, is a difficult character to like. He is simply much too self-important.
While I have disliked the show myself, this list of complaints is summed up, albeit a contrario sensu, in the first sentence of the second paragraph.
The funny thing about all of this to me: I keep hearing about there is no budget to show "tights" or have recurring characters with powers on the show….
…then on EVERY commercial break what do I see? Ads for Once Upon A Time & Wonderland that show NOTHING BUT characters of power/CGI makeup….
And then on top of that, the running joke in this episode is that this man with a power names himself Scorch and that's frowned on… By BOTH the villains and heroes… Um Disney, most of the loyal fanbase who devote themselves to this show are fantasy/comic books enthusiasts that I am sure have dreamed about being a hero (or villain) at one moment or another. You know you essentially just slapped us in the face right? What the hell Marvel? I'm giving it the season sure, but if I wanted to by put down in a "meta" way, I'd look at Big Bang Theory or *GASP* Fangasm…..
More and more, I am starting to regret that I lost Alphas, which was a B-style hybrid of SHIELD and X-Men…

Damn..sorry about the double post Sonia & Brian…pudgy fingers on iphone strike again!
Ah yes… the well-meaning friends and relatives.
Back in college I made the mistake of telling my family I was getting into Spider-Man comics again.
"Happy birthday! Here are some Superman boxer shorts!"
"Merry Christmas! Here's a superhero-themed board game for 7-year-olds!"
Agents of SHIELD is the story of hacker girl Skye, as she learns to become Phil Coulson, Jr. Everyone else is supporting cast to Skye.
Only Skye is allowed to act outside her designated role. Only Skye is allowed a personality outside her designated role. Skye is the only one allowed to have a heart-to-heart conversation with Coulson, as everyone else can only briefly talk to Coulson about SHIELD-related events. Characters are only allowed to have non-SHIELD related moments if Skye is involved in the scene. (Even last episode's scene of Ward and May drinking together was just a set-up for Skye to show up and talk about going to Coulson's office.)
Skye is the only character to maintain an active multi-episode story arc, and already has two such arcs. Coulson has "Tahiti," but that storyline has apparently been backburnered to nodding references, probably until the writers decide to really tease an "Is he an LMD?" story. May seemingly had the question of why she stopped being an active agent, but that appears to have been dropped unaddressed with her agreeing to become a fully active agent again.
Skye is the one teased to be Coulson's new protege, and is the one who acts in all fields. She does science/tech stuff with Fitz and Simmons, as part of her super-hacker role. But she also does agent stuff with Ward and May, as part of her SHIELD training. She's the only character that bests SHIELD, through her Rising Tide stuff (such as hacking SHIELD with ease.) She gets to play the out-of-her-depth character in one scene, while playing the calmest of the group in the next. Besides Coulson, she's was the only character who understood working as a team in the first episodes. Like Coulson, she is used as a deus ex machina to advance the plot when necessary.
Skye is quite clearly the main character in the eyes of the writers. She is a miniature Coulson-in-training, quite possibly because the show can't use Coulson himself for everything without killing the team concept. So they made Skye. And revolve the show around her.
And Ward is the worst agent ever. Sorry, but each episode seems to highlight his awfulness as a field agent. Yes, the first episodes had the idea that he was a lone wolf who couldn't function in a team, but he's been equally incompetent since adapting to a team mentality.
I hope I'm not repeating someone else:
Agents of T.E.D.I.U.M
Televised Escapism Diluted In Underwhelming Material
I so want to like this show, but it is dull and uninteresting. They act like if they have some brief comic reference in a long boring episode that will somehow keep the geek in me involved.
I'm not watching the show, but I ask this of Sonia, what was it you were expecting?
Because, when people complain of superhero shows like SMALLVILLE and ARROW being heavy on melodrama, I think fans are being unrealistic. There is no budget to make credible action-oriented superhero TV shows. I think it's sort of obvious why they have to make it so 60% or more of the scenes are "civilian subplot" scenes.
Of course, it's okay to complain about the quality of said melodrama. The quantity? No. Perhaps if they abandone the idea of superhero TV shows altogether, or made a couple of TV movies per year, then we could have superheroics in the foreground, melodrama in the background.
Sonia, your opinion is wrong and you should feel bad.
I'm hoping things will get better once they introduce a real opponent – whoever's behind the smaller-scale organizations we've seen so far.
Ugh the plot of episode 2 turned on an appalling lack of protocol from an agency that we're supposed to believe is the best in the world — and that's when I stopped watching. Grab the unknown alien device WITH YOUR HANDS and bring it on board the plane unshielded. Invite the ARMED FOREIGN MILITIA onto that plane and give them full run of the place. Grant security clearance to the spunky hacker KNOWN TO ASSOCIATE WITH A PSEUDO-TERRORIST GROUP and hey, send her on missions. I just don't see how SHIELD could survive with this level of incompetence. It just doesn't make sense. Is it crazy to want more realism in a super-hero show??
I can never take Cheese seriously again.
I want to like the show, but it's only been background noise since the pilot.
I've only seen a bit of episode 2, so maybe this has been addressed already, but why are people so sure Coulson is an LMD? When I watched the Avengers movie I kept waiting for the scene where they'd show Coulson actually survived his injury and Fury just faked his death to motivate the others, (which I agree with T that it was stupid they needed to be motivated to save the world anyways.) Couldn't that be the explanation, or has there been something in the show that makes it clear he died there and Fury wasn't lying to the others?
That's a helluva complicated plan to try to institute on the fly. Smearing some blood on cards is one thing, but faking a guy's death without his permission and hoping two geniuses and a demi-god are A.) unable to see through that, and B.) motivated enough by the death of a casual acquaintance seems so ridiculously unnecessary when you could just walk in there and point out that Loki's victory would mean the death of everyone they love.
More notably, though, then why the mystery? Why not just tell him so he doesn't call up Tony Stark tomorrow to ask about the latest weird alien tech he found? He's like the #2 or 3 guy at Shield in the films; surely he can be trusted not to say anything.
Couldn't that be the explanation, or has there been something in the show that makes it clear he died there and Fury wasn't lying to the others?
Nothing is explicit, but there has been enough hemming and hawing over his "recuperation" that it seems pretty clear that SOME sort of crazy shit went down leading to him still being alive. LMD just seems to make the most sense. Although an interesting debate is over whether he was ever alive to begin with or whether he was ALWAYS a LMD (hence why he would have survived an attack that would have killed other people).
I don't mind the melodrama. I'm an X-Men fan primarely, so it would be kind of ridiculous for me to have a problem with melodrama.
But I will say that Agents of SHIELD so far has been rather underwhelming, and the only thing that keeps me waching is my fondness for Whedons provious work, and the fact that both Buffy and Dollhouse took some time to find their feet.
(Plus, it's not like I'm *that* busy that I don't have the time to watch a slightly underwhelming show sometime. It's not atrocious, or anything. And I like agent Mae.)
That's a helluva complicated plan to try to institute on the fly. Smearing some blood on cards is one thing, but faking a guy's death without his permission and hoping two geniuses and a demi-god
Even though they called him one in The Avengers, Thor is not a demigod. He's just a plain old god.
So only one character has a personality and he's a smug git who may turn out to be a robot. No wonder this show's got problems.
The first episode has a bit where, after Coulson comments about his recuperation in Tahiti and walks away, one character says "He doesn't know?" and another responds "He must never know."
Bits are teased throughout the episodes. Everyone who knew Coulson in the past makes a comment about how different he is now, which he brushes off as a result of his near-death experience. One episode repeatedly hammers that he apparently doesn't have the muscle memory for gun handling that he had before Avengers. X-ray eye woman asks I think May what SHIELD did to Coulson, heavily implying that she saw something different inside his body.
Obviously fans are supposed to guess "He's an LMD" from the first mention in the first episode, and the later mentions are to reinforce that idea.
Of course for that same reason, it doesn't mean that he is an LMD. The writers probably plan to tease it again in the future, before eventually pulling the trigger on the plotline, but they could choose to make it a fake out. It depends on whether they want to do a few years of Coulson learning to live with being an LMD, or if they would rather just have a new mystery. Other possibilities: Coulson was already an LMD before Avengers (as suggested by someone above), the real Coulson is alive and piloting a Coulson LMD Avatar-style but doesn't realize his real body is in a hospital (seen posited on another site), Coulson's brain has been placed in an LMD body, Chitauri tech, and "the writers haven't decided yet, and it may be moot anyway if the series can't stay on the air long enough".
Unfortunately, the mystery is probably at least in small part the last of those options. The writing of the show is not exactly stellar, and seems to be a bit seat of the pants instead of well planned.
Slightly off-topic, as I've only seen about 5 minutes (too much) of The S.H.I.E.L.D. Show, but is anyone else tired of the Avengers being tethered to the government? The team now feels more like an arm of S.H.I.E.L.D. than the group of philanthropist scientists that they were created as. Earth's mightiest heroes were always at odds with the government liaison or whatever shady business the army cooked up. Now they're just gov't stooges.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D is basically Fringe with some Marvel stuff thrown in. I loved Fringe (until the last season), so if I just watch S.H.I.E.L.D. thinking its more Fringe, I'm OK.
It is definitely not living up to its potential.
But, at the same time, I'm happy when the comics get introduced to new audiences. Who knows, maybe someone will love the TV shows and start getting into the comic because of them?
Watching the other week I thought, "Fringe had struggle for years against cancellation, and this crap gets the big push?" Having said that I think AOS has no chance of lasting five seasons.
I forget off the top of my head, but wasn't there blood on the spear/staff when loki stabbed coulson in avengers? If so, it's doubtful Coulson was always a LMD. Unless they'll try to say LMDs have a thin layer of blood under their skin to help with the illusion in case they get scratched, etc.
I actually have watched every episode so far (will be Hulu-ing last night's when I get home), and enjoyed them enough. But, even as a self-described fan of the show, I am getting pretty tired of nothing fucking happening. I tuned in because we were guaranteed that the "real" Marvel Universe would be bleeding into the show, in the form of character cameos and whatnot. So far all we've gotten on that front is a scientist who shows up in an episode who has the same name as a REALLY obscure villain, implying he might become that villain at some point.
The last two episodes I saw were basically the same concept ("Is Skye a traitor??? Oh no, wait, it's fine."), and they really need to reveal that "Centipede" is Hydra already. So yeah, I'm hanging in there, despite agreeing with what a lot of the critics are saying. If I have to wait until the season finale for anything actually interesting to happen, I might not come back for season 2.
Hmmmmm…. I've only watched a few episodes so far and the show was very borrrriiinnnnggg I'm disappointed to say as I'd love to see a darker world with richer characters than what we're SLOWLY being spoon fed so far.

best acne product-clear in 6 weeks!
By Nick
from Seattle
Used once a day as directed. Easy to use no brain 1.2.3. system. my adult acne was clearing up in 2 weeks and almost completely clear by 6. no dryness, no irritation, no redness... nothing. Works exactly like it says it does. Forget the expensive dr brands. I've tried murad, obagi, differin, etc. this is the BEST. The lotion is the key and doesn't irritate like other acne lotions. I can't recommend this enough.
As with all skin care products begin the regimen gradually to allow your skin to acclimate to Clearogen. If you have sensitive skin, initially apply Clearogen every other day for one week then continue with daily application. Before exposure to sunlight use a non-comedogenic UVA/UVB sunscreen.

Xinji Hotpot: "surprisingly filling" Beijing Restaurant Tip by marielexoteria
Beijing Restaurants: 709 reviews and 938 photos
Hotpot is something very Chinese, and this is by far the meal I reminisce the most.
Hotpot is boiling water with bouillon (sort of) and spices. In this boiling water you'll boil the food that you're about to eat, and what to boil is up to the restaurant's menu and can be meat, vegetables, fish or a combination of all of them - with or without sauce to go with. You'll find a lot of hotpots in Beijing and because it was rather late and we were tired from the train journey from Shanghai, we decided to eat close to our hostel, at Xinji Hotpot.
Xinji Hotpot is located in a hutong and it's in a 2-story building, where the restaurant is actually on the second floor. We chose a table close to the window facing Xinjiekou Nandajie - although there wasn't much to see at that particular time of the night.
English menus available and the staff speaks good English.
Favorite Dish: Our hotpot was a mix of mild and spicy flavors, that we accompanied with some rice, their prime beef, sliced pork, potatoes, spinach and 2 beers. We got food for 4 (again lol) and we thought we weren't gonna eat it all but guess what? We did and we felt full without feeling "heavy" or sleepy. This was the most expensive meal we had on our whole stay: 131 RMB - expensive for Chinese standards but very cheap for us.
Address: Zhengjue Hutong/Xinjiekou Hutong
Price Comparison: about average
Directions: Close to Red Lantern House, main and east yards.
