The Penelopiad: The Myth of Penelope and Odysseus (Myths)by Margaret Atwood
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In Homer's account in The Odyssey, Penelope — wife of Odysseus and cousin of the beautiful Helen of Troy — is portrayed as the quintessential faithful wife, her story a salutary lesson through the ages. Left alone for twenty years when Odysseus goes off to fight in the Trojan war after the abduction of Helen, Penelope manages, in the face of scandalous rumours, to maintain the kingdom of Ithaca, bring up her wayward son, and keep over a hundred suitors at bay, simultaneously. When Odysseus finally comes home after enduring hardships, overcoming monsters and sleeping with goddesses, he kills her suitors and — curiously — twelve of her maids.
In a splendid contemporary twist to the ancient story, Margaret Atwood has chosen to give the telling of it to Penelope and to her twelve hanged Maids, asking: "What led to the hanging of the maids, and what was Penelope really up to?" In Atwood's dazzling, playful retelling, the story becomes as wise and compassionate as it is haunting, and as wildly entertaining as it is disturbing. With wit and verve, drawing on the storytelling and poetic talent for which she herself is renowned, she gives Penelope new life and reality — and sets out to provide an answer to an ancient mystery. Review:"Drawing on a range of sources, in addition to The Odyssey, Atwood scripts the narrative of Penelope, the faithful and devoted wife of Odysseus and her 12 maids, who were killed upon the master's return. Atwood proposes striking interpretations of her characters that challenge the patriarchal nature of Greek mythology. The chapters transition between the firsthand account of Penelope and the chorus of maids as listeners are taken from Penelope's early life to her afterlife. Laural Merlington charmingly delivers the witty and perceptive Penelope with realistic inflection and emphasis. Some of her vocal caricatures seem over the top, but most voices maintain a resemblance to our perceptions of these mythic people. The maids are presented as a saddened chorus by a cloning of Merlington's voice. These dark figures speak straightforwardly in their accusations of Penelope and Odysseus, while, at other times, they make use of rhyming. This format works well, though sometimes the cadence and rhyming scheme are off beat. This benefits the production by creating an eerie resonance and haunting demeanor that enhances this engaging tale." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
Review:"Along with her presentation of the hallucinatory maids and Penelope's straight talk about her husband...Atwood's brilliance emerges in the skillful way she has woven her own research on the anthropological underpinnings of Homer's epic into the patterns of her own stylized version of the poem." Chicago Tribune
Review:"Here, amid the moon cults and palace of women and the returned king...is fabulous Atwood territory." New York Times
Synopsis:Telling the story of Homer's Odyssey from the point of view of Penelope and her 12 hanged maids, the bestselling author of Oryx and Crake draws on Greek mythology for Volume 2 in the Myths series.
Synopsis:Margaret Atwood returns with a shrewd, funny, and insightful retelling of the myth of Odysseus from the point of view of Penelope. Describing her own remarkable vision, the author writes in the foreword, Ive chosen to give the telling of the story to Penelope and to the twelve hanged maids. The maids form a chanting and singing Chorus, which focuses on two questions that must pose themselves after any close reading of the Odyssey: What led to the hanging of the maids, and what was Penelope really up to? The story as told in the Odyssey doesnt hold water: there are too many inconsistencies. Ive always been haunted by the hanged maids and, in The Penelopiad, so is Penelope herself." One of the high points of literary fiction in 2005, this critically acclaimed story found a vast audience and is finally available in paperback. About the AuthorNominated for the first ever Man Booker International Prize representing the best writers in contemporary fiction, Margaret Atwood is the author of more than 35 internationally acclaimed works of fiction, poetry and critical essays.

Covertly, discreetly and rapidly, Hector Santiago built quite a head of steam for the fifth starter job.
It started in late July, when the White Sox demoted him to Charlotte after the Francisco Liriano trade, affording Santiago the chance to stretch out. He started three games, didn't allow a run in any of them, and finished his stint with 6⅔ scoreless innings against Norfolk before he was back in the bigs. As Hawk Harrelson might say, "That didn't take long."
Then he made four starts in September, serving his purpose in three of them, and finishing the year with an exclamation point: seven innings, one hit, one walk, 10 strikeouts.
After the season, Santiago was off to winter ball, where he used five starts with Carolina of the Puerto Rican League to work on his off-speed offerings. The reps seemed to pay off, but you wouldn't quite know judging only by results, because it all looks the same.
Add up Santiago's starting stats from August through early December, and here's what you get:
Tm | W | L | GS | IP | H | R | ER | HR | BB | SO | ||
Charlotte |
1 | 0 | 0.00 | 3 | 14.2 | 9 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 6 | 13 | 1.02 |
Chicago | 2 | 0 | 1.86 | 4 | 19.1 | 12 | 4 | 4 | 1 | 11 | 26 | 1.19 |
Carolina |
1 | 0 | 1.86 | 5 | 29.0 | 22 | 7 | 6 | 2 | 13 | 24 | 1.21 |
Total | 4 | 0 | 1.43 | 12 | 63.0 | 43 | 11 | 10 | 3 | 30 | 63 | 1.16 |
This late-developing situation gave Santiago second thoughts about pitching in the World Baseball Classic. Earlier in the offseason, Santiago was angling for a spot in Puerto Rico's rotation. But since Jose Quintana isn't a lock and John Danks may not be ready by Opening Day, the White Sox rotation emerges as a bigger priority. Santiago is holding off on the WBC until he gets some input from the Sox, as Mark Gonzales relays:
"I haven't made an official decision yet," said Santiago, adding that he has spoken to Puerto Rico manager Edwin Rodriguez about a potential role as a starting pitcher. "It would be an honor to pitch for Puerto Rico. If they want me to start, I might do it. But I haven't spoken to (Sox general manager Rick Hahn), and it might not be the right time to leave the White Sox. I haven't faced hitters in a month, and I would be pushing it for the first week (of spring training) before leaving.''
Santiago said he accomplished his goal of polishing his slider and off-speed pitches in his five starts for Carolina of the Puerto Rican Winter League last month, and he has continued to throw up to 50-pitch bullpen sessions.
Santiago's future may very well lie in starting, if only because Robin Ventura struggled to figure out a comfortable way to use him one inning at a time. He started the season in the closer role, overthrowing his fastball and underthrowing his secondary stuff, which resulted in a bunch of homers. So the ninth inning wasn't for him, but even medium-leverage situations were an awkward fit. He walked too many guys without establishing a track record of pitching around them (a la Jesse Crain), and he wasn't the desirable choice for LOOGY work, because lefties didn't respect his slider.
When he fell further into the world of extended appearances -- first in long relief, and then as a starter -- he finally seemed to settle down. He took a little off his fastball for additional cut or sink, and he used his screwball more frequently against right-handed hitters. He still exceeded his recommended daily allowance of walks, but he showed a knack for getting unstuck.
At 25, he's got plenty of room and time to grow. As a hard-throwing lefty, he'll get as many chances as it takes to develop, especially since he doesn't mind right-handed hitters.
Now, the big question: What do you want to do with him in the interim -- assuming "effectively wild" is the only way he can be effective?
In his current state, he's an OK option for a fifth starter, but with conditions due to his inefficiency. He's not the best bet to get past four innings (even if he's throwing a shutout), and the Sox fell out of love with Francisco Liriano for the same reason. Quintana is easier on the eyes, even if he doesn't have a changeup.
Santiago is best suited for long relief, but valuable, experience-building outings are hard to find with a sturdy White Sox rotation. Santiago made only 14 appearances across June and July, and that isn't conducive for meaningful work.
So if neither of those roles are optimal, then starting in Charlotte's rotation has some benefits. He hasn't logged many starts at Triple-A, and Nestor Molina and Simon Castro are no closer to the big leagues than they were last year. Dylan Axelrod is still around, but Santiago has a leg up on him for the sixth starter.
Except if Santiago hangs out in Charlotte, that might compromise the White Sox's pitching staff, because the bullpen isn't exactly a strength. The Sox usually break camp with the seven best relievers, and Santiago makes that cut.
Now you can see why Santiago has second thoughts about the WBC, because whatever he does in the Cactus League will have some pretty big implications for the rest of his 2013. With a super-long spring ahead of us, we could use the storylines.

fuel pump pressure
fuel pump pressure indicates 55 psi...the only info I have says it needs 66psi, anyone have any other numbers?....1999 5.7 liter gasSuburban

and WHERE is the fuel pressure regulator on this truck?
01-02-2012, 05:41 PM #2The regulator is attached to the fuel injection manifold, to get at it you need to remove the upper plastic portion of the intake manifold. Fuel pressure on these trucks usually runs at about mid 50s and up when running. 60 to 66psi should be seen when performing the key on test.

Portrait of the Archaeologist as Young Artist
By Heather Pringle | June 7, 2012 | 9 Comments
On the taxi ride there, I felt a little ill. The long, sleepless flight to Lima, a dodgy lunch that was coming back to haunt me, and the abrupt swerving and lurching of the taxi through the congested streets of the Peruvian capital—all seemed to be taking their toll. By the time I and my companions clambered out at the Puruchuco Museum and filed into a small backroom to meet the director, I was certain I was in for a long, queasy afternoon. Then I spotted two old notebooks lying on the table.
Pulled from storage for our visit, the notebooks contained handwritten field notes that a young Peruvian archaeologist and artist, Jorge Zegarra Galdos, had written nearly 60 years ago during the excavation and reconstruction of Huallamarca, an ancient pyramid and ceremonial site in one of Lima's toniest neighborhoods, San Isidro. But it wasn't the notes themselves that caught my attention. It was Zegarra's pen-and-ink drawings of dozens of tombs that he and his colleagues discovered along the top of the pyramid—tombs that encased fragile fardos, human mummies wrapped in a thick cocoons of textiles.
Huallamarca, I should explain first off, is something of an archaeological disaster. The principle investigator, a rather famous Peruvian archaeologist named Arturo Jiménez Borja, worked desperately to preserve the 2000-year-old site from Lima's urban sprawl. But in the end, the singleminded researcher made a fatal error: he decided to reconstruct its fallen ramps and platforms so that Limeños could once again marvel at Huallamarca's grandeur. Brick by adobe brick, he rebuilt the pyramid and the surrounding chambers, but the end result–so regular and symmetrical that it looks like a Marvel comic-book temple—bears no resemblance at all to ancient Huallamarca.
The story of Huallamarca had bothered me no end as I prepared for my trip to Lima. But as I thumbed through the pages of Zegarra's field journals in the Puruchuco Museum, I experienced a small miracle. I saw the architecture and tombs of Huallamarca exactly as they had once been.
Each summer in university field schools from Minnesota to Mongolia, archaeologists try to impress on their students the importance of keeping detailed field notes. Digging is, after all, a hideously destructive affair: you disturb and destroy data every time you edge your trowel into sediments. The only saving grace is the sharp eye of an archaeologist who diligently jots down, maps and draws details of the strata—the sediments, the charcoal specks, the stone scatter. With meticulous field notes, later generations of archaeologists can often visualize a dig layer by layer.
Zegarra wasn't just a good student: he took field notes to a new level. With just a few penstrokes, he captured the conical tombs of Huallamarca and all their contents: the neatly tied bundles of totorro reeds, the musical instruments, the pots containing offerings, the wooden masks with wide-open eyes and startled expressions. They were so lifelike these drawings, that I found myself imagining young Zegarra sitting there on the roof of the pyramid, pen in hand in the warm sunlight, sketching, sketching, one tomb after another.
I lost myself in Zegarra's drawings, and an afternoon that began disastrously ended as a little miracle.

June 8th, 2012 @ 1:59 pmThese sketches are beautiful. I wonder if such field notes are a dying breed now that people can just snap visual notes with their ever-present phones.
Heather Pringle
June 8th, 2012 @ 2:17 pmFortunately, archaeologists continue to take extremely detailed field notes. Here's a link to one field school director on the subject:
But I don't often see archaeologists sketching and drawing artifacts in the field anymore: the camera is ubiquitous, just as you guessed. And in some ways, that's a shame. The very act of sketching requires that you really look at an artifact, really focus on what you are seeing. In previous eras, some of the best archaeologists were also artists: Howard Carter, the discoverer of Tutanhkamun's tomb is a real case in point. His sketches of the tomb and its contents are incredible! One day I will blog about that.
Ann Finkbeiner
June 8th, 2012 @ 3:36 pmNow that I think about it: early (pre-camera) astronomers also sketched. And of course botanists. We could have a series, The Sketches of Scientists.

The Dots were 0-3 thus far, with losses to Scott, Buffalo and Nitro. The Dots lost by just two to the Bison and were leading Nitro at halftime.
Adrian Cunningham, perhaps the Dots' top player, injured her knee in the first quarter of the Nitro game and was out at least three weeks, according to Raynes-Kidder. Freshman Haleigh Mace was also playing through injury and Poca was down to five players at practice last week.
Despite the low numbers, Raynes-Kidder said the team was ready to battle on.
"Last week at practice, we were practicing with five on two days and six on the last day of practice," Raynes-Kidder said. "It's very hard to have a constructive practice when you have no defense to go up against. But up until the last day of practice, they were still working hard."
Cunningham, Harley Williard and Lauren Harrison are each seniors who have apparently played their last games in high school.
But despite the unfortunate end to the season, Raynes-Kidder sgaid the future of the program is in good shape.
"We'll absolutely have a team next year," Raynes-Kidder said. "There's a lot of middle school interest and things like that. Poca will have a team - there's no question about that at all."

In 2003, there was a death of a U.S. major league baseball pitcher which was thought to be related to ephedra. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has collected more than 800 reports of serious toxicity, including more than 22 deaths. On February 6, 2004, the FDA issued a rule prohibiting the sale of dietary supplements containing ephedrine alkaloids (ephedra). This rule was issued because supplements with ephedra present a serious risk of illness or injury.
In 2005 this rule was struck down in Utah but reversed again four months later. Ephedra is currently banned throughout the United States. It remains unclear whether ephedra will re-appear on the market, despite serious safety risks, including heart events or death.
Ephedra sinica, a species of ephedra (ma huang), contains ephedrine and pseudoephedrine. Ephedra has been found to stimulate the nervous system, increase airflow into the lungs and constrict blood vessels. In combination with caffeine, ephedra appears to cause weight loss. However, effects of ephedra or ephedrine monotherapy have been mixed. Ephedrine has been widely studied for asthma and low blood pressure. However, quality research of commercial supplements with ephedra is lacking.
Major safety concerns have been associated with ephedra or ephedrine use, including high blood pressure, increased heart rate, nervous system excitation, irregular heartbeat, heart attack, and stroke.

You can be assured that the instructor and student interaction, that requires more time during your appointments, also means that your care will meet the highest standards of quality. Thank you for participating in a program that benefits both you as a patient and the dental hygiene students who will become your future dental hygiene professionals.
Dental hygiene students perform all services under the supervision of licensed dental health professionals. Our services are limited to preventative and limited basic restorative services. We do not offer crowns, extractions, etc., nor do we treat dental emergencies.
Our services are not intended to replace comprehensive dental care provided by your dentist.

Adam (Hebrew: אָדָם, Arabic: آدم) was, according to the Book of Genesis, Bereshitt, and the Qur'an, the first man created by God and noted in subsequent Jewish, Christian and Islamic commentary.
- This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called 'woman',
for she was taken out of man.- Genesis 2:23.
- God: Where are you?
Adam:I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.
God: Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?
Adam:The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.- Genesis 3:9-12.
- God has granted me another child in place of Abel, since Cain killed him.
- Genesis 4:25.
- Lord of the world, must I and my ass eat at one crib?
- Upon being told that he would have to eat the herbs of the ground, reported in Charles Taylor, The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles (1886), p. 14.
- When Adam dalf and Eve span, go spire – if thou may spede –
Where was than the pride of man that now marres his mede?- When Adam delved and Eve spun, go ask – if you may succeed –
Where then was the pride of man, which now deprives him of his reward? - "When Adam dalf and Eve span", line 1; Celia Sisam and Kenneth Sisam (eds.) The Oxford Book of Medieval English Verse (1970) p. 617. Translation: ibid. p. 404.
- Sometimes attributed to Richard Rolle. Adapted by John Ball during the Peasants' Revolt as "When Adam dalf, and Eve span, who was thanne a gentilman".
- When Adam delved and Eve spun, go ask – if you may succeed –
- Adam lay ibounden,
Bounden in a bond;
Four thousand winter
Thoght he not too long;
And all was for an appil,
An appil that he tok.- Adam lay bound,
Bound up in a bond.
Four thousand winters
He thought not too long.
And all was for an apple,
An apple that he took. - "Adam lay ibounden", line 1; Sir Edmund K. Chambers and Frank Sidgwick (eds.) Early English Lyrics ([1907] 1972) p. 102. Translation: Joseph Glaser Middle English Poetry in Modern Verse (2007) p. 85.
- Adam lay bound,
- When Adam sinned it was not he who cried, 'God, where art Thou?' It was God who cried, 'Adam, where art thou?'
- Aiden Wilson Tozer, Worship: The Missing Jewel.
- In the time of the First Manifestation the Primal Will appeared in Adam.
- Báb, Dalá'Il-I-Sab'ih (The Seven Proofs).
- Only the soul that is naked and unashamed, can be pure and innocent, even as Adam was in the primal garden of humanity.
- Sri Aurobindo, Thoughts and Aphorisms (1913).
- The first idea was not our own. Adam
In Eden was the father of Descartes
And eve made air the mirror of herself,Of her sons and of her daughters.
- Wallace Stevens, It Must Be Abstract, part IV.
- Oh, but of course the story of Adam and Eve was only ever symbolic, wasn't it? Symbolic?! So Jesus had himself tortured and executed for a symbolic sin by a non-existent individual? Nobody not brought up in the faith could reach any verdict other than "barking mad". (Part 2, 00:30:25)
- Richard Dawkins, The Root of All Evil? (January 2006), Part 2: "The Virus Of Faith".
- Without the Christian explanation of original sin, the seemingly silly story of Adam and Eve and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, there was no explanation of conflict. At all.
- Don Miller, Blue Like Jazz (2003, Nelson Books).
- That man, the unsubmissive and first, stands in the opening chapter of every legend mankind has recorded about its beginning. Prometheus was chained to a rock and torn by vultures--because he had stolen the fire of the gods. Adam was condemned to suffer--because he had eaten the fruit of the tree of knowledge. Whatever the legend, somewhere in the shadows of its memory mankind knew that its glory began with one and that that one paid for his courage.
- Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead (1943), part IV.
- Adam
Had 'em.- Strickland Gillilan, "Lines on the Antiquity of Microbes", also known as "Fleas" (often misattributed to Ogden Nash).

Things are pretty busy around KLOVE today, as we begin our Fall Pledge Drive tomorrow. One of the things that I love about pledge drive is the chance to hear what God has been up to through the music on this radio station! I love hearing the stories of lives that are changed and people who have discovered hope through listening to KLOVE. In fact, here's what Jacqueline, from Lexington, KY said:
"I still remember the day that I stumbled upon KLOVE several years ago while I was in college. The song 'Lifesong,' by Casting Crowns was on and it moved me to take a closer look at my life--I had already given my life to Christ several years before, but could certainly do more to walk the path so that 'the words I say and the things I do bring a smile to God.' Since then, I have been a faithful listener and KLOVE has made a daily impact on my life. It is the only radio station I listen to in my car and those moments of worship have been key in my faith as well as dealing with stress and my general well-being! I pray that KLOVE can continue to touch the lives of many people every day!"
Thanks for supporting your KLOVE station and making stories like Jacqueline's possible. Thanks for praying for KLOVE and joining us in reaching more people with the message of hope…because hope changes everything!
"God needs people who are willing…not perfect." I shared that on twitter yesterday because it is such a great reminder that in spite of our faults and failures, God can and will use us if we are 'WILLING.'
I hope it serves as a reminder that God wants to use you to 'make a difference' in the world. He chose 'you' to be a world changer! God wants to work through you! As Pastor Rick Warren writes in Purpose Driven Life, "What matters is not the 'duration' of your life, but the 'donation' of it. Not how 'long' you have lived, but 'how' you have lived."
Pastor Warren then shares this great picture of how God, throughout history, uses us in spite of our brokenness.
"Abraham was old, Jacob was insecure, Leah was unattractive, Joseph was abused, Moses stuttered, Gideon was poor, Samson was codependent, Rahab was immoral, David had an affair and all kinds of family problems, Elijah was suicidal, Jeremiah was reluctant, Naomi was a widow, John the Baptist was eccentric to say the least, Peter was impulsive and hot tempered, Martha worried a lot, the Samaritan woman had several failed marriages, Zacchaues was unpopular, Thomas had doubts, Paul had poor health, and Timothy was timid."
That is a quite a collection of misfits, but God used every one of them! God wants to use 'you' too; all you have to do is quit making excuses. We are reminded of this in Ephesians 2:10,
"For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God, which God prepared in advance for us to do."
We got to spend some time with Matt Redman yesterday in Kansas City. We talked about his new album, Your Grace Finds Me, Passion City, and how he keeps his life balanced.

So many lovely, relatable images of style inspiration have been showing up in my Pinterest feed lately, that I wish I had more places to go. The relaxed, yet busy days of summer are still in full swing, and besides a casual date night here and there, most of these looks call for heels or wedges, something I'm really inspired to wear lately, but just aren't practical for everyday wear when toting around a baby.
Something else many of these looks also have in common are slim fitting and or distressed denim. Since I'm finally back to my pre-pregnancy size, although still not weight, I bought a new pair of Paige denim skinny jeans which I've been wearing the heck out of. A new closet acquisition always helps to get the rusty style wheels in motion. If I have the time, (oh it's always about the time!), I would replicate all of these looks and pose for you in my backyard, just for fun. Maybe I'll just have to do that.
skinny luxe sweatpants + flowy blouse + nude heels // distressed denim + perfect white tee + colored heels
boyfriend jeans + gray tee + layers + cognac heels
polka dot skinnies + striped socks + cognac suede booties + cognac leather bag
polka dots + distressed denim + neutral heels + oversized bag
oversized stripes + distressed denim + hat + knapsack
lovely waves + nude lips + hearts
camo + studs + distressed denim + leopard
polka dots + denim on denim + red smoking flats + oversized gold bag
What has been inspiring you lately, in terms of style and clothing?
Before I leave, would love to share some of my latest Gwyneth Made Me Do It posts from the last week.
The Real Cost Of Eating Like Gwyneth – a breakdown of costs by meal of some of my favorite meals from breakfast to dinner.
How Clean Eating Helped Me Get Back To My Prepregnancy Weight – three weeks shy of Hayden's first birthday I got back to my Prepregnancy weight. Slow and steady wins the race!
Blender vs Juicer - why blender won the race.

Love your fashion posts! I completely overhauled my exercise clothing choices based off of one of your posts.
I'm totally digging the distressed denim look. Just purchased a pair of distressed skinnies from Gap for the fall. Wish I could pull off the boyfriend style pants…they just look like mom jeans on me! Gack!
I completely rock skinny denim with classy top wit blazer or scarf or necklace = this is my look at least few times a week..LOL…it's really great my workplace appreciates fashion GLAM! :)))

BROOME COUNTY, N.Y. -- The Town of Union has gotten final approval for a buyout program for homes damaged during Tropical Storm Lee. All 176 properties submitted for buyouts were accepted.
FEMA will fund 75 percent of the project, estimated to cost nearly $17.5 million. The remaining portion will be paid through a combination of grants and property owner money.
The next step will be putting out bids for the appraisal process which will determine how much money each homeowner receives.
"We will be awarding those bids February 6th at the Town of Union board meeting and the appraisal process will start. We expect with the process to be doing the closings of the properties in the May time frame," said Union Town Supervisor Rose Sotak.
The town says there is no need for residents to visit or call the Town Hall with any questions at this time.
There will be three informational meetings for residents in the affected areas. The first will be for those in Westover and will be held January 28th. Endwell and West Corners residents will meet January 30th and those affected in Fairmont Park will gather January 31st. Each meeting will be held at 7 p.m. at Union Town Hall on Main Street.

How some people get through life, I have no idea...
I am a medical student currently doing a rotation in toxicology at the poison control center. Today, this woman called in very upset because she caught her little daughter eating
ants. I quickly reassured her that the ants are not harmful and there would be no need to bring her daughter into the hospital. She calmed down and at the end of the conversation happened to mention that she gave her daughter some ant poison to eat in order to kill the ants. I told her that she better bring her daughter in to the emergency room right away.
A man, wanting to rob a downtown Bank of America, walked into the Branch and wrote this, "Put all your muny in this bag." While standing in line, waiting
to give his note to the teller, he began to worry that someone had seen him write the note and might call the police before he reached the teller's window. So he left
the Bank of America and crossed the street to the Wells Fargo Bank. After waiting a few minutes in line, he handed his note to the Wells Fargo teller. She read it and, surmising
from his spelling errors that he wasn't the brightest light in the harbour, told him that she could not accept his stickup note because it was written on a Bank of America
deposit slip and that he would either have to fill out a Wells Fargo deposit slip or go back to Bank of America. Looking somewhat defeated, the man said, "OK" and left.
He was arrested a few minutes later, as he was waiting in line back at Bank of America.
A motorist was unknowingly caught in an automated speed trap that; measured his speed using radar and photographed his car. He later received in the mail a ticket for $40
and a photo of his car. Instead of payment, he sent the police department a photograph of $40. Several days later, he received a letter from the police that contained another picture, this time of handcuffs. He immediately mailed in his $40.
A guy walked into a little corner store with a shotgun and demanded all of the cash from the cash drawer. After the cashier put the cash in a bag, the robber saw a bottle of Scotch that he wanted behind the counter on the shelf. He told the cashier to put it in the bag as well, but the cashier refused and said, "Because I don't believe you are over 21." The robber said he was, but the clerk still refused to give it to him because she didn't believe him. At this point, the robber took his driver's license out of his wallet and gave it to the clerk. The clerk looked it over and agreed that the man was in fact over 21 and she put the Scotch in the bag. The robber then ran from the store with his loot.. The cashier promptly called the police and gave the name and address of the robber that he got off the license. They arrested the robber two hours later.
A pair of Michigan robbers entered a record shop nervously waving revolvers. The first one shouted, "Nobody move!" When his partner moved, the startled first bandit shot him.
Arkansas: Seems this guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided that he'd just throw a cinder block through a liquor store window, grab some booze, and run. So he lifted the cinder block and heaved it over his head at the window. The cinder block bounced back knocking him unconscious. It seems the liquor store window was made of Plexi-Glass.
The whole event was caught on videotape.

— ''Key & Peele'' (Comedy Central). The biracial status of comedy partners Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele (black fathers, white mothers) is notable only because it gives them unique insight sizing up the human condition. And they made the most of that insight on their sketch-and-standup half-hour series. In particular, they scored with Peele in an unsurpassed impersonation of Obama where the unflappable president is joined by Key as ''anger translator'' Luther, who demonstrates, comically unfiltered, what Obama really thinks. But whatever they did, the humor of Key and Peele proved fresh and smart. And without ever preaching, they illustrated how the issue of race (in their words) ''always boomerangs back to culture'' and ultimately ''is an absurd thing.'' Doggone funny, too.
— ''Luck'' (HBO). This drama set at a California racetrack boasted the rich density of David Milch's writing and a king's ransom of a cast: Dustin Hoffman, Nick Nolte, Dennis Farina, Jill Hennessy and Richard Kind for starters. It explored a strange and fascinating world while capturing the horse races with breathtaking footage. But three horses died during production of the series. That sad fact, and another — the show wasn't exactly a ratings blockbuster — led to HBO canceling ''Luck'' after its first season, in a bow to bad publicity led by animal-rights activists. Amid the hubbub about the horses' welfare, there was a question no one seemed inclined to ask: Assuming every reasonable precaution had been taken, was risking the lives of a few horses an excessive price to pay to keep an excellent drama series on the air?
— ''Smash'' (NBC). This NBC musical drama put a bright, sexy sheen on one of filmdom's most timeless tropes: Hey, kids, let's put on a show! Which ''Smash'' did, embedding songs and dance into the story of how a Broadway musical comes to life. Sure, ''Smash'' took knocks for unbelievable plotlines, cardboard characters and trite show tunes. It gave new life to the term ''hate-watch'' (that act of watching something solely to delight in its awfulness). So what? With a show-must-go-on defiance emblematic of Broadway, ''Smash'' never flagged in its unique charm and meticulous artistry. And if anything about it seemed over-the-top, its naysayers should consider the recent cockamamie real-life fraud that sank the Broadway musical ''Rebecca.'' As ''Smash'' knows and demonstrated proudly, nothing is too wacky for Broadway.
— ''Sons of Anarchy'' (FX). Tough guys on motorcycles selling guns and drugs. Tough women keeping them in line, or trying. Rival gangs, corrupt cops and a club membership in turmoil. Jax (Charlie Hunnam), his mother, Gemma (Katey Sagal), and her husband, Clay (Ron Perlman), were the core of a series that, in its fifth season, raged wilder than ever. A family drama set in a hard-hitting workplace, ''Sons'' was bloodthirsty and brilliant like nothing else on TV. Its audience knew what its characters found out: there was no escaping its excitement.
— Donald Trump (all over the place). Never before has this list bestowed a personal commendation. But then, The Donald is an exceptional TV presence. Whether a game-show host (NBC's ''The Apprentice"), a commentator-at-large (Fox News Channel and elsewhere), a beauty contest impresario (his Miss USA pageant, which is broadcast on NBC), a former almost-candidate for president, or a free-floating billionaire attention junkie, Trump leverages the media with enviable shrewdness. Exactly the nature of Trump's TV appeal has yet to be identified. Equally unexplained is why he always gets a pass from his media gatekeepers, no matter what he says or does. But why sweat the vagaries of stardom? Trump rules. Or if he doesn't, he will surely be the last to know it.

A more thrilling finale to this MotoGP would have been hard to imagine: after fighting his way back up the standings all season, Valentino Rossi had finally succeeded in reaching and passing Nicky Hayden to the top of the pack in Estoril. The final race in Valencia will remain in the hearts and minds of one and all, when The Doctor slid to the asphalt after just a few laps and saw his chances for winning his 8th World Championship come crashing to the ground.
The last season of MotoGP 1000 cc competition has now reached its end, and Valentino is already gearing up to amaze the world with the brand new Yamaha M1 800 cc and claim revenge for this past unfortunate season plagued by more than a few unlucky breaks.
On the other hand, the Dainese Team can be more than happy with the performance turned in by Jorge Lorenzo in the middle-weight World Motorcycle Racing category, where the young Spanish rider completely dominated his adversaries in the 250 cc class with the authority and class of a veteran racer and established himself as one of the most promising new talents to watch in the years to come.
In D-Challenge competition, our compliments all go to Pigol, who won the complete Valentino Rossi replica racing outfit with a big lead over his closest and distinguished followers Andre1079 and Maidelcombo.
At this point, we can only tell you motorcycle racing fans and D-Challenge players that we'll be looking forward to seeing you all again in 2007.

Get to the Point: If Anyone Can Save 1 WTC's Symbolic Spire, It Is the Dursts—They Snuck Onto the Skyline Before
The fate of the World Trade Center, having been debated and arbitrated by every constituency in town, now rests with a panel of architects and engineers in Chicago. The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat is the international arbiter of skyscrapers the world over. All skyscrapers are not created equal, and it is up to the Council to decide exactly how tall they all are.
The problem at 1 World Trade Center, as has been raging across front pages all week, is that the Durst Organization, the august real estate family and minority partner in the city's newly christened tallest structure, has convinced the Port Authority to forgo a radome, a white fiberglass sheath that was to have encased the 408-foot mast atop the 1,368-foot tower. The mast takes the tower from the symbolic height of the original towers to the perhaps too symbolic height of 1,776 feet, first envisioned by Daniel Libeskind a decade ago.
The problem is that the council does not recognize antennae, flagpoles, signage or other superfluous structures as contributing to the height of the building. That is why the Willis Tower, 1,451 feet, ranks eighth tallest in the world, even though two broadcasting arrays bring its total height to 1,729 feet, the second tallest in the world behind the Burj Khalifa.
This seems absolutely backwards—why encourage "spires," useless poles with a glimmer of design intent, while forgoing actual, functional structures like antenna and signage. Whatever happened to form follows function? Read More

Wealth Heterogeneity and Escape from the Poverty-Environment Trap
A mutual link between poverty and environmental degradation is examined in an overlapping generations model. Environmental quality affects labor productivity and wealth dynamics, whereas wealth distribution determines the degree to which agents rely on technology that has a large environmental load, and therefore the evolution of environmental quality. This interaction creates a "poverty-environment trap," where a deteriorated environment lowers income, which, in turn, accelerates environmental degradation. We show that greater wealth heterogeneity is the key to escaping from the poverty-environment trap, although it can have negative effects on both the environment and output when not in the trap.

Washington leaders are celebrating the 100-year anniversary of the state's Capitol campus Wednesday.
It was on this day in 1911 that a state commission selected a winning design concept for the campus. State officials will gather Wednesday to celebrate that moment, beginning several days of centennial activities in Olympia.
New York architects Walter Wilder and Harry White were the ones to propose the plans for the state's major government buildings, including the domed Capitol and Temple of Justice. Construction began in 1912.

My theory: James will go back in time in the movie and help Howard to develop a GOOD ET game.
It results in a catastrophe.
The plot takes on.
1) ET drops in his starship
2) ET makes a weird sound
3) ET falls into a hole
4) ET extends his neck and flies away
5) ET dies.
I just explained the whole game to you.
Now you can go watch a video about it if you want.
I guess that's because h barely ready lines anymore.
He does it in improvisation or memorizes what he wants to say.
Dude, he just went from one part of the country to the other and is moving his whole stuff!
You have no right to critizice him for not actively speaking on the internet about something that many others have spoken about the same day!
There's pirates and then there's pirates.
There are those who pirate expensive software and games they can't afford and those o which they don't think that they are worth their price.
Then there are those who pirate everything and upload movies to the internet the day they got released in the cinemas.
This does damage the industry, but actually, I don't think it does much damage to giants like Viacom.
what? He was just giving advice. You are the one overreacting.
His reviews are honest, but this game is confusing and James did a mistake, so what?
I like how he sais "That didn't even happen in the special edition!" as if it was somewhat assumable that it did happen in the special editions.
WOuld be great to one day travel to the USA and meet james on this convention!
Yeah, it's gonna be a lotof fun!
They probably didn't want to make it too long, but there'll sure be videos of it on youtube with the whole session in it.
He could just extend the scene where he shits at bugs bunnys face to two hours, and It would be one of my favorite movies.
Guy: "How do you feel about the "MLP:FIM" Series?
Me: Holding my breath
James: I don't care for it
Me: YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHJ!
(And finally I know why there's an ED article about the AVGN)
As for the last one, it's probably not much of problem for him to get a nerd episode done once he started it, because the more he plays his games the shittier they get and the more he wants to show everyone how bad they are.
Isn´t this the game where Weegee came from?
