Rhythm (from Greek ῥυθμός, rhythmos, "any regular recurring motion, symmetry") generally means a "movement marked by the regulated succession of strong and weak elements, or of opposite or different conditions." This general meaning of regular recurrence or pattern in time can apply to a wide variety of cyclical natural phenomena having a periodicity or frequency of anything from microseconds to millions of years.
In the performance arts rhythm is the timing of events on a human scale; of musical sounds and silences, of the steps of a dance, or the meter of spoken language and poetry. Rhythm may also refer to visual presentation, as "timed movement through space." and a common language of pattern unites rhythm with geometry. In recent years, rhythm and meter have become an important area of research among music scholars. Recent work in these areas includes books by Maury Yeston,Fred Lerdahl and Ray Jackendoff, Jonathan Kramer, Christopher Hasty,Godfried Toussaint, William Rothstein, and Joel Lester.
In his series How Music Works, Howard Goodall presents theories that human rhythm recalls the regularity with which we walk and the heartbeat. Other research suggests that it does not relate to the heartbeat directly, but rather the speed of emotional affect, which also influences heartbeat. London writes that musical metre "involves our initial perception as well as subsequent anticipation of a series of beats that we abstract from the rhythm surface of the music as it unfolds in time" (London 2004, 4). The "perception" and "abstraction" of rhythmic measure is the foundation of human instinctive musical participation, as when we divide a series of identical clock-ticks into "tick-tock-tick-tock".
Some types of parrots can know rhythm. Neurologist Oliver Sacks states that chimpanzees and other animals show no similar appreciation of rhythm yet posits that human affinity for rhythm is fundamental, so that a person's sense of rhythm cannot be lost (e.g. by stroke). Human rhythmic arts are possibly to some extent rooted in courtship ritual.
The establishment of a basic beat requires the perception of a regular sequence of distinct short-duration pulses and, as subjective perception of loudness is relative to background noise levels, a pulse must decay to silence before the next occurs if it is to be really distinct. For this reason the fast-transient sounds of percussion instruments lend themselves to the definition of rhythm. Musical cultures that rely upon such instruments may develop multi-layered polyrhythm and simultaneous rhythms in more than one time signature, called polymeter. Such are the cross-rhythms of Sub-Saharan Africa and the interlocking kotekan rhythms of the gamelan.
For information on rhythm in Indian music see Tala (music). For other Asian approaches to rhythm see Rhythm in Persian music, Rhythm in Arabian music and Usul - Rhythm in Turkish music and Dumbek rhythms.
Pulse, beat and measure:
(See main articles; Pulse (music), Beat (music))
Most music, dance and oral poetry establishes and maintains an underlying "metric level", a basic unit of time that may be audible or implied, the pulse or tactus of the mensural level, or beat level, sometimes simply called the beat. This consists of a (repeating) series of identical yet distinct periodic short-duration stimuli perceived as points in time. The "beat" pulse is not necessarily the fastest or the slowest component of the rhythm but the one that is perceived as basic: it has a tempo to which listeners entrain as they tap their foot or dance to a piece of music (Handel, 1989). It is currently most often designated as a crotchet or quarter note in western notation (see time signature). Faster levels are division levels, and slower levels are multiple levels (Wittlich 1975, chapt. 3). "Rhythms of recurrence" arise from the interaction of two levels of motion, the faster providing the pulse and the slower organizing the beats into repetitive groups (Yeston 1976, 50-52). "Once a metric hierarchy has been established, we, as listeners, will maintain that organization as long as minimal evidence is present" (Lester 1986, 77).
Unit and gesture:
A durational pattern that synchronises with a pulse or pulses on the underlying metric level may be called a rhythmic unit. These may be classified as; metric - even patterns, such as steady eighth notes or pulses - intrametric - confirming patterns, such as dotted eighth-sixteenth note and swing patterns - contrametric - non-confirming, or syncopated patterns and extrametric - irregular patterns, such as tuplets.
A rhythmic gesture is any durational pattern that, in contrast to the rhythmic unit, does not occupy a period of time equivalent to a pulse or pulses on an underlying metric level. It may be described according to its beginning and ending or by the rhythmic units it contains. Beginnings on a strong pulse are thetic, a weak pulse, anacrustic and those beginning after a rest or tied-over note are called initial rest. Endings on a strong pulse are strong, a weak pulse, weak and those that end on a strong or weak upbeat are upbeat.
Alternation and repetition:
Rhythm is marked by the regulated succession of opposite elements, the dynamics of the strong and weak beat, the played beat and the inaudible but implied rest beat, the long and short note. As well as perceiving rhythm we must be able to anticipate it. This depends upon repetition of a pattern that is short enough to memorize.
The alternation of the strong and weak beat is fundamental to the ancient language of poetry, dance and music. The common poetic term "foot" refers, as in dance, to the lifting and tapping of the foot in time. In a similar way musicians speak of an upbeat and a downbeat and of the "on" and "off" beat. These contrasts naturally facilitate a dual hierarchy of rhythm and depend upon repeating patterns of duration, accent and rest forming a "pulse-group" that corresponds to the poetic foot. Normally such pulse-groups are defined by taking the most accented beat as the first and counting the pulses until the next accent (MacPherson 1930, 5; Scholes 1977). A rhythm that accents another beat and de-emphasises the down beat as established or assumed from the melody or from a preceding rhythm is called syncopated rhythm.
Normally, even the most complex of meters may be broken down into a chain of duple and triple pulses (MacPherson 1930, 5; Scholes 1977) either by addition or division. According to Pierre Boulez, beat structures beyond four, in western music, are "simply not natural".Western rhythms are usually arranged with respect to a time signature, partially signifying a meter usually corresponding to measure length and grouped into either two or three beats, which are called duple meter and triple meter, respectively. If the beats are in consistently even or odd groups of two, three, or four, it is simple meter, if by admixtures of two and three it is compound meter. In other systems of music such as Indian classical music rhythms may be grouped into various number of beats. In some music styles such as Yakshagana even group rhythms into fractional beats.
Tempo and duration:
(See main articles; Duration (music), Tempo)
The tempo of the piece is the speed or frequency of the tactus, a measure of how quickly the beat flows. This is often measured in 'beats per minute' (bpm): 60 bpm means a speed of one beat per second, a frequency of 1 Hz. A rhythmic unit is a durational pattern that has a period equivalent to a pulse or several pulses. The duration of any such unit is inversely related to its tempo.
Musical sound may be analyzed on five different time scales, which Moravscik has arranged in order of increasing duration;:
Supershort: a single cycle of an audible wave, approximately 1/30-1/10,000 second (30-10,000 Hz or more than 1,800 bpm). These, though rhythmic in nature, are not perceived as separate events but as continuous musical pitch.,
Short: of the order of one second (1 Hz, 60bpm, 10-100,000 audio cycles). Musical tempo is generally specified in the range 40 to 240 beats per minute. A continuous pulse cannot be perceived as a musical beat if it is faster than 8-10 per second (8-10 Hz, 480-600 bpm) or slower than 1 per 1.5 - 2 seconds (0.6-0.5 Hz, 40-30 bpm). Too fast a beat becomes a drone, too slow a succession of sounds seems unconnected. This time-frame roughly corresponds to the human heart rate and to the duration of a single step, syllable or rhythmic gesture.,
Medium: ≥ few seconds, This median durational level "defines rhythm in music" as it allows the definition of a rhythmic unit, the arrangement of an entire sequence of accented, unaccented and silent or "rest" pulses into the cells of a measure that may give rise to the "briefest intelligible and self-existent musical unit", a motif or figure. This may be further organized, by repetition and variation, into a definite phrase that may characterise an entire genre of music, dance or poetry and that may be regarded as the fundamental formal unit of music.,
Long: ≥ many seconds or a minute, corresponding to a durational unit that "consists of musical phrases"-- which may make up a melody, a formal section, a poetic stanza or a characteristic sequence of dance moves and steps. Thus the temporal regularity of musical organisation includes the most elementary levels of musical form,
Very long: ≥ minutes or many hours, musical compositions or subdivisions of compositions.,
Curtis Roads takes a wider view by distinguishing nine time scales, this time in order of decreasing duration. The first two, the infinite and the supramusical, encompass natural periodicities of months, years, decades, centuries, and greater, while the last three, the sample and subsample, which take account of digital and electronic rates "too brief to be properly recorded or perceived", measured in millionths of seconds (microseconds), and finally the infinitesimal or infinitely brief, are again in the extra-musical domain. Roads' Macro level, encompassing "overall musical architecture or form" roughly corresponds to Moravcsik's "very long" division while his Meso level, the level of "divisions of form" including movements, sections, phrases taking seconds or minutes, is likewise similar to Moravcsik's "long" category. Roads' Sound object (Schaeffer 1959, 1977): "a basic unit of musical structure" and a generalization of note (Xenakis' ministructural time scale); fraction of a second to several seconds, and his Microsound (see granular synthesis) down to the threshold of audible perception; thousands to millionths of seconds, are similarly comparable to Moravcsik's "short" and "supershort" levels of duration.
Metric structure:
(See main articles; Metre (music), Bar (music), Metre (poetry))
The study of rhythm, stress, and pitch in speech is called prosody: it is a topic in linguistics and poetics, where it means the number of lines in a verse, the number of syllables in each line and the arrangement of those syllables as long or short, accented or unaccented. Music inherited the term "meter or metre" from the terminology of poetry.
The metric structure of music includes meter, tempo and all other rhythmic aspects that produce temporal regularity against which the foreground details or durational patterns of the music are projected (Wittlich 1975, chapt. 3). The terminology of western music is notoriously imprecise in this area (Scholes 1977). MacPherson (1930, 3) preferred to speak of "time" and "rhythmic shape", Imogen Holst (1963, 17) of "measured rhythm".
Dance music has instantly recognizable patterns of beats built upon a characteristic tempo and measure. The Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (1983) defines the tango, for example, as to be danced in 2/4 time at approximately 66 beats per minute. The basic slow step forwards or backwards, lasting for one beat, is called a "slow", so that a full "right-left" step is equal to one 2/4 measure.
The general classifications of metrical rhythm, measured rhythm, and free rhythm may be distinguished. Metrical or divisive rhythm, by far the most common in Western music calculates each time value as a multiple or fraction of the beat. Normal accents re-occur regularly providing systematical grouping (measures). Measured rhythm (additive rhythm) also calculates each time value is a multiple or fraction of a specified time unit but the accents do not recur regularly within the cycle. Free rhythm is where there is neither (Cooper 1973, 30), such as in Christian chant, which has a basic pulse but a freer rhythm, like the rhythm of prose compared to that of verse (Scholes 1977) See Free time (music).
Finally some music, such as some graphically scored works since the 1950s and non-European music such as Honkyoku repertoire for shakuhachi, may be considered ametric (Karpinski 2000, 19). Senza misura is an Italian musical term for "without meter", meaning to play without a beat, using time to measure how long it will take to play the bar (Forney and Machlis 2007,).
Composite rhythm:
A composite rhythm is the durations and patterns (rhythm) produced by amalgamating all sounding parts of a musical texture. In music of the common practice period, the composite rhythm usually confirms the meter, often in metric or even-note patterns identical to the pulse on a specific metric level. White defines composite rhythm as, "the resultant overall rhythmic articulation among all the voices of a contrapuntal texture."
Rhythm notation:
Worldwide there are many different approaches to passing on rhythmic phrases and patterns, as they exist in traditional music, from generation to generation.
African music:
In the Griot tradition of Africa everything related to music has been passed on orally. Babatunde Olatunji (1927-2003), a Nigerian drummer who lived and worked in the United States, developed a simple series of spoken sounds for teaching the rhythms of the hand drum. He used six vocal sounds: Goon Doon Go Do Pa Ta. There are three basic sounds on the drum, but each can be played with either the left or the right hand. This simple system is now used worldwide, particularly by Djembe players.
It is noteworthy that the debate about the appropriateness of staff notation for African music is a subject of particular interest to outsiders, not insiders. African scholars from Kyagambiddwa to Kongo have, for the most part, accepted the conventions--and limitations--of staff notation, and gone on to produce transcriptions in order to inform and make possible a higher level of discussion and debate.-- Agawu (2003: 52)
John Miller Chernoff 1979 has argued that West African music is based on tension between rhythms. This tension between rhythms is called polyrhythms and is created by the simultaneous sounding of two or more different rhythms. Often there is a dominant rhythm interacting with an independent competing rhythm, or rhythms. These often oppose or complement each other, and combine freely with the dominant rhythm creating a rich rhythmic texture not limited to any one set meter or tempo.
A set of moral values underpins a full musical system based on repetition of relatively simple patterns that meet at distant cross-rhythmic intervals and call and answer schemes. Values also show up in collective utterances such as proverbs or lineages appear either in phrases that translate as drum talk or in the words of songs. People expect musicians to stimulate participation of all present, notably by reacting to people dancing the music. Appreciation of musicians is related to the effectiveness of their upholding community values.
Indian music:
Indian music has also been passed on orally. Tabla players would learn to speak complex rhythm patterns and phrases before attempting to play them. Sheila Chandra, an English pop singer of Indian descent, made performances based on her singing these patterns. In Indian Classical music, the Tala of a composition is the rhythmic pattern over which the whole piece is structured.
Western music:
In the 20th century, composers like Igor Stravinsky, Béla Bartók, Philip Glass, and Steve Reich wrote more rhythmically complex music using odd meters, and techniques such as phasing and additive rhythm. At the same time, modernists such as Olivier Messiaen and his pupils used increased complexity to disrupt the sense of a regular beat, leading eventually to the widespread use of irrational rhythms in New Complexity. This use may be explained by a comment of John Cage's where he notes that regular rhythms cause sounds to be heard as a group rather than individually; the irregular rhythms highlight the rapidly changing pitch relationships that would otherwise be subsumed into irrelevant rhythmic groupings.LaMonte Young also wrote music in which the sense of a regular beat is absent because the music consists only of long sustained tones (drones). In the 1930s, Henry Cowell wrote music involving multiple simultaneous periodic rhythms and collaborated with Léon Thérémin to invent the Rhythmicon, the first electronic rhythm machine, in order to perform them. Similarly, Conlon Nancarrow wrote for the player piano.
Use of polyrhythms in American music is generally traced to the influence of black culture through Dixieland and Jazz styles. The effect of multiple soloing in these forms, often utilizing cross-rhythms comes directly from the underlying aesthetics of sub-Saharan African music. These complex rhythmic structures have been widely adopted in many current forms of western popular music.
Rhythm in linguistics:
In linguistics, rhythm or isochrony is one of the three aspects of prosody, along with stress and intonation. Languages can be categorized according to whether they are syllable-timed or stress-timed. Speakers of syllable-timed languages such as Spanish and Cantonese put roughly equal time on each syllable; in contrast, speakers of stressed-timed languages such as English and Mandarin Chinese put roughly equal time lags between stressed syllables, with the timing of the unstressed syllables in between them being adjusted to accommodate the stress timing.
Narmour describes three categories of prosodic rules that create rhythmic successions that are additive (same duration repeated), cumulative (short-long), or countercumulative (long-short). Cumulation is associated with closure or relaxation, countercumulation with openness or tension, while additive rhythms are open-ended and repetitive. Richard Middleton points out this method cannot account for syncopation and suggests the concept of transformation.

Location :
Littleton, Massachusetts
Boston Minuteman Campground
[ 10/10 ]
I have always been very critical about campgrounds, with high expectations. I called 2 days before coming, and asked to stay 30 nights, since I was relocating for work and was going to live in my motor home for the time being. The staff (family owned) bent over back words to assist me. They were able to move sites around so I could stay on the same site for the duration. All month I have seen big rigs come in and out. The owner personally escorts you to the site, helps you get in and makes sure everything is good. The staff is wonderful. Restrooms and facilities are well maintained. There is a small arcade near the pool for kids. I told the owners that of all campgrounds I have been to, this is by far the best and I will be back. Definite A+!!!!
Salisbury, North Carolina
Tamarac Marina and Campground
[ 2/10 ]
Horrible park! Check-in was not helpful, site was very unlevel. I was given site 0, which was overgrown. I didn't let my dog outside because of the number of bugs. Campground is not near the lake. I almost left just after I arrived. I would steer clear from this place.
Lexington, North Carolina
High Rock Lake Marina & Campground
[ 8/10 ]
Called about an hour before arriving with no reservation, got me in no problem. Check-in and employees were very friendly. Sites down near the lake are built on platforms so each site can see the water. My site was a double pull through, wasn't very level, but I could make do without blocks. Sites are relatively narrow, but I was still able to put all slides and awnings out. Very friendly park, I will be back.
Advance, North Carolina
Forest Lake
[ 7/10 ]
I made the reservation the morning of going to the park. After reading the reviews, I figured I would try it out. I wasn't impressed with the website. It wasn't very "user" friendly, nor was the advertising for the campground. When I got there, the staff was very friendly. I was advised to drive around and pick out the site I wanted. I found that odd, and a bit annoying that I was driving around this park in my RV trying to pick out a site. In the future, it would be good to have golf carts. The staff was very helpful in getting me a lake side site, so I could fish. I stayed on site B4. According to the previous reviews, it states that the park needs some TLC, which I agree. My site had some overgrown weeds, but overall I was satisfied. The pay Wi-Fi worked well on my site. I felt safe and had friendly neighbors. I think the off season rate of $45 per night is a little high; however, I would stay there again. They offer sites in the "D" section that are very easy to get in and out of in a big rig. The campground offers wooded sites for the "true" camper, and also offers open sites for those who care more about getting satellite reception. I enjoyed my stay and will be back again. I hope in the future they work a little harder on their landscaping.
Chapin, South Carolina
Dreher Island State Recreation Area
[ 8/10 ]
I was impressed with this park, being a state park. The check in staff were very friendly. I didn't have a reservation. They gave a great site recommendation. The lake side sites were nice, but weren't very level. The sites are large, and long. They all appeared to be paved. I didn't like the set up, however. The fire ring was right by my back bedroom window, and the awning just made it out. It was over the hill and the picnic table area was near the back end. Fishing was great, and swimming as well. I had a blast. I would have preferred full hookups, but that isn't a deal breaker. Overall, I would be back again!
Linwood, North Carolina
Cross Winds Family Campground
[ 9/10 ]
When I arrived, the check in lady was very friendly. I was impressed with the landscaping. The campground is well groomed. I was given a pull through, which was very nice since there was storms coming and I had to quick get set up. It stormed most of the day; therefore, the Wi-Fi didn't work the best, but still worked. I stayed in the A section, which was very wooded. The sites are very large throughout the campground. All the facilities look relatively new and are well kept. On my way out the check-in lady made a point to wave good bye to me. There was no lights in the a-section, which made walking my dog in the dark difficult; however, that is one's preference. The "new" fishing pond is very small. I didn't get to try it out since it was storming. I really enjoyed my visit and will be back. This is a small park,; however, they have nice facilities, nice playground and overall are very friendly. Of all the campgrounds in the Charlotte area that I have stayed in, this is one of my favorite.
Fort Mill, South Carolina
Charlotte / Fort Mill KOA
[ 7/10 ]
I made the reservation just before arriving- no issues. There is a lot of construction going on in the front due to a new grocery store being built. I was a little concerned about that. You have to check in at the gas station out front. That was a bit confusing. The staff was very friendly. I travel alone with my dog, and they had an employee lead me to my site and help me park, which was awesome! The campground was relatively empty. I had a site near the front, and was not bothered by the construction. WiFi and cable all worked well. I noticed no fire rings near any of the sites, which was a little annoying. Other campers were friendly. Some of the seasonal sites needed some TLC, but overall I was satisfied with the stay. The campground offers weekend events for families; however, there is no lake and there isn't much around since that park of Fort Mill is more residential. I enjoyed a little R&R trip, and would go back again. It is a good location for Carowinds, race track, etc. I live in Charlotte and was pleased with the location. I would go here again.

I suppose it was wishful thinking. In my January column, I expressed the hope that the worst of our horrid weather woes were behind us. Alas, I was wrong.
Are you screaming yet? inquired my Redford pal Dorothy Wylo, half-jokingly after yet another dump of snow. We keep in touch mostly by phone these days, since Im spending far too much time indoors. My special worry is slipping on ice-encrusted sidewalks or parking lots. When in fear, stay home! Winter is getting mighty tiresome.
Despite my current bunker mentality, I generally have a glass-is-half-full attitude. Life goes on, and good things happened, both for me personally and in the Redford community.
Each February, the townships Leisure Services Department schedules its Daddy-Daughter and Mother-Son dances at the Redford Community Center. The Daddy-Daughter dance filled up, so a second was added. What a sweet way to build loving memories. In the midst of a bitterly cold winter, warmth and affection prevail.
I love to read. My older sister often took me to the public library when we were growing up in Detroit. I especially liked to read about children living in other parts of the world. Earlier this month, children ages 3-6 years attending storytime at the Redford Library learned about Chinese New Year. This festive holiday is celebrated throughout Asia and widely popular in Chinatowns everywhere. Stories exposed the children to the rich, ancient Chinese culture, while nurturing a love of books and reading.
I was glad to learn recently that the Redford Township Historical Commission has found a new home for its documents, school yearbooks, old photos and other papers related to the history of Redford. The Little Red Schoolhouse, which has been the commissions home, will be torn down to create needed parking for the nearby Redford Post Office. The schoolhouse was built in 1874 to educate the children of early Redford families. The Historical Commission will move into a former co-op preschool located behind the South Redford School District office. The building will reopen for visitors once renovations are completed.
Earlier this month, my daughter Louise came for a visit. After spending some time with her college roommates, she landed on my doorstep. Louise, who graduated from Thurston High School in 1997, is a newlywed and living in Washington State. We enjoyed long conversations. She purchased frames for family photos, and helped me decorate my apartment with wall hangings, mirrors and pretty little touches. She has a good eye and is more artistic than I will ever be. She tackled my honey-do list with ease. We ate out a lot, and I introduced her to the renowned burgers at Redfords favorite burger hangout, Sandys By the Beech. The week passed quickly.
A friend and I took in a spaghetti dinner at the VFW hall on Schoolcraft east of Inkster Road. These dinners, along with other special events, are held several times a year. The rich, spicy aroma of a classic tomato sauce beckon as soon as one enters the hall. Who doesnt love a hearty plate of pasta? A St. Patricks Day party is coming next month.
I guess February wasnt a complete bust. But Im still counting the days until spring.

17.2.1. Flat-File Databases |
If we have a small amount of data, sometimes the easiest technique is to just write this data in a text file. For example, if we have a few records with a fixed number of fields we can store them in a file, having one record per row and separating the fields with a delimiter. For example:
firstname.lastname@example.com firstname.lastname@example.com firstname.lastname@example.com
As long as we have just a few records, we can quickly insert, edit, and remove records by reading the flat-file database line by line and adjusting things as required. We can retrieve the fields easily by using the split function:
@fields = split /\|/, $record;
and we can put them back using join:
$record = join '|', @fields;
However, we must make sure that no field uses the field separator we have chosen (| in this case), and we must lock the file if it is to be used in a multiprocess environment where many processes may try to modify the same file simultaneously. This is the case whether we are using mod_perl or not.
If we are using some flavor of Unix, the /etc/passwd file is a perfect example of a flat-file database, since it has a fixed number of fields and most systems have a relatively small number of users.[46] This is an example of such a file:
[46]Disregard the fact that the actual password is stored in /etc/shadow on modern systems.
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/tcsh bin:x:1:1:bin:/bin: daemon:x:2:2:daemon:/sbin: adm:x:3:4:adm:/var/adm: lp:x:4:7:lp:/var/spool/lpd:
: is used to separate the various fields.
Working with flat-file databases is easy and straightforward in plain Perl. There are no special mod_perl tricks involved.

"It gives me courage to do things I'm scared of." – Isabella, age 10
"This is the piece of artwork that I always seek out when my spirit needs lifting. It is often said that one's attraction to a particular artwork has to do with your life's experiences – 'The Diving Boy' reminds me of when my sons were young – they would step from the bath tub waiting for me to wrap them in a towel – the connection has nothing to do with diving, but the love and warmth of a mother's love for her young sons." – anonymous

7 Spoileriffic Things You May Want to Know About The Avengers
- 04.30.12
Just as there are lots of people who prefer to know very little in the way of specifics about a movie before they see it, there are lots of people who feel just the opposite. Obviously, both of these groups will read a spoiler-free article, and so just such a piece on The Avengers was published on GeekDad earlier today.
This piece is, and I can't emphasize this enough, only for people who want spoilers. Seriously, do not read any further if you don't want to know anything about what happens in the film. You have been warned.
If you're reading this, you should be among those who want spoilers. In case you only want general spoilers, I've put the specific ones in white-on-white text, and you can select (highlight) them with your mouse or keyboard if you want to read them.
1. Yes, a character dies — it is a Joss Whedon film, after all.
Who? Agent Coulson.
In a way that makes it likely the character will be back (it is a comic book movie, after all)? No. He gets stabbed in the back by Loki, nothing extraordinary.
2. One hero spends the first part of the film as a bad guy.
Who? Hawkeye.
Why? Turns out Loki has a device that, if he touches it to a human's heart, brings that human under his control. He does this to Hawkeye.
Does this happen to any of the other heroes? Well, Loki tries to use it on Tony Stark, but as you may recall Tony's heart is a bit… unusual.
3. There are awesome references to non-Marvel geeky subjects sprinkled throughout.
Example 1? There's a great joke that references Legolas.
Example 2? One of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents plays Galaga on his monitor and is called out by Tony Stark.
Example 3? The great Harry Dean Stanton has a fantastic cameo as a guy who finds a naked Bruce Banner after he reverts to normal human form.
4. There's a brilliantly funny scene between the Hulk and Loki, in which Loki acts all arrogant because he's a "god."
What happens next? Hulk picks up Loki and whips him around into the floor and walls as though he were a stuffed toy.
What's the line the Hulk says after that, that gets swallowed by audience laughter? He says "Puny god!"
How do you know that? Someone else and I asked Joss Whedon after the press conference, because it was bugging us.
5. Agent Coulson shows his geeky side.
How? Turns out he's a Captain America fan boy.
Does it work? It totally does. It adds depth to the character and is extremely funny, both at the same time.
6. Loki's evil minions are an alien race from the comics.
Which one? The Chitauri.
But aren't they supposed to be able to… ? Change shape? Yes, in the comics. But not in the movie.
7. The reveal in the post-end-credits scene is of the new villain, presumably for Iron Man 3.
Who is it? Thanos!
Any other things you want to know about The Avengers? Leave a comment.

User Comments: Gets you up to speed quickly! Help clients move more efficiently with less pain. The BioMechanics Level 1 course has been incredibly helpful in providing me the knowledge to identify and correct common movement deviations with people of various fitness levels. The BEST part is that it gets you up to speed to address a majority of movement issues faster and for thousands of dollars less than more comprehensive programs teaching functional movement over a period of years and for a massive financial investment and often including travel and on-site time - an unrealistic investment for many fitness pros.
User Comments: Taking The BioMechanics Method course has been the best thing that I have done in years both for myself and my clients. It's incredible to be able to alleviate many common pains and help people to move better so that they can do the things they enjoy. The course is great. Justin has taken what could be complicated material and presented it in such a fashion that it is easy to understand and apply. In the short time that I've been "experimenting" with my new knowledge I've been amazed at the responses that I'm getting. People tell me, "You are more knowledgeable and have been more helpful than both my physician or chiropractor." Others have told me they've tried everything from physical therapist, acupuncture and corrective shoes, but for the first time, with the BioMechanics Method exercises, they are finally getting relief from their pain. How wonderful is that!!
User Comments: The BioMechanics Method Level One course is a great resource for any health professional that deals with human movement. In a very simple format, you'll learn about the most common structural deviations, how to assess clients, and how to assist them in correcting and removing these limitations to become pain-free. Since completing the course and speaking with clients about my studies, I'm amazed by how many people can truly benefit from a basic corrective exercise program. I am looking forward to putting the information into practice, and am excited about the value it will add to my services.
User Comments: Completing TBMM Level One - Corrective Exercise Specialist course was the best thing I have ever done for my personal training business. I highly recommend this course to any and all personal trainers wanting to take their business to the next level! Thanks Justin!
User Comments: I completed the Level 1 The BioMechanics Method course and I highly recommend it to any personal trainer, massage therapist, physical therapist, etc! Its a fabulous in-depth course that teaches you how to asses and realign the body to help prevent and/or eliminate chronic pain. I use corrective exercise EVERYDAY with ALL of my clients and can't imagine where I would be without Justin and Mary's knowledge and expertise!

Graduate Student, University of Vermont
Earthwatch research led to more environmentally friendly coffee-growing practices in Costa Rica.
Says Mr. Tanzi: "Earthwatch is about doing science to support sustainable use of resources. Sounds pretty straightforward, right? But life is not that simple and straightforward. It turns out that the object being studied might constantly change. Take, for example, coffee production, where the age of the plantation, the variety of plants, the shade tree density, and the climatic conditions determine the amount of coffee (and the quality) that is produced in a certain field. That is a reason we had to visit and revisit so many fields during the project's three-year period. Thanks to the work of so many volunteers, we have been able to understand many of the mechanisms behind sustainable coffee production."
Mr. Tanzi believes Tarrazú offers an ideal setting for research into better ways to produce shade-grown coffee, thanks to the farmers' capability and their interest in improving the way they manage their farms.
Earthwatch researcher Sebastián Castro Tanzi, a native of Costa Rica, works with coffee farmers to research and enhance shade-grown coffee practices.
Earthwatch research led to a greater understanding of sustainable coffee practises in the face of climate change and soil acidification.

West Texas Cargill Plant to Cut 2K Jobs

PLAINVIEW, Texas - Cargill has announced it will idle a West Texas plant and lay off all 2,000 workers because of a tight cattle supply stemming from years of drought.
A news release from the Wichita, Kansas-based company Thursday says the Plainview workers will be laid off February 1st.
Other Cargill plants in the region and in other parts of the country will not affected.
The release said the company will work to relocate Plainview employees to its other plants.
The nation's cattle herd is at its lowest level since 1952. Higher feed costs from drought in Texas and elsewhere and ranchers' selling off their cattle have reduced the number of animals headed to meatpacking plants.
Cargill said it could reopen the plant if cattle numbers increase in coming years.

This weekend, the Washington Post's Ian Shapira detailed in a piece entitled "The Death of Journalism (Gawker Edition)" how the triumph he felt when Gawker blogged about a story he wrote turned into anger after his boss asked him why he wasn't angry that his story had been stolen.
After reviewing Gawker's eight-paragraph post, Shapira came to the same conclusion as his boss: he'd been ripped off.

Hi folks....I have an odd request for a little help.
Year's ago I acquired this spoon/spinner combination in a tacklebox full of stuff.
You have to admit...it's pretty darn unique.
Considering I bought the box full of stuff off Ebay...I'm assuming that one or both of the couple have passed.
I'm on a man-hunt (fisher-person hunt LOL!) in an effort to possibly find a relative of the couple.
And get the item back into the family.
And I'm hoping you fellow Members can help.
At $5 for it...I feel it's a reasonable price.
And rest assured...I have NO intention of holding any of the family members hostage price-wise.
I will be posting something similar on other forums too.
Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Castelli CW 4.0 WS Gloves $69.95
Charge into the cold.
Wind and water play a predictable role in ruining perfectly good training rides -- especially in temperatures approaching the freezing mark. Castelli CW 4.0 Windstopper Gloves are designed to provide maximum protection against wind and rain without sacrificing the weight and comfort of lighter gloves.
The CW (Cold Weather) 4.0 Windstopper Gloves are constructed using Windstopper X-Fast, a polyester fabric that provides total wind protection and excellent breathability. It's perfect for those early spring days when you're forced to suffer through hours of cold and wet weather to make up for weeks of Sundays spent eating bacon and searching for live feeds of Belgian cyclocross. In addition to protecting you from the elements, the CW 4.0 Windstopper Gloves also use a lofty microfleece back that adds comfort and warmth while increasing moisture transfer for cool temperature workouts. After all, your hands sweat even when it's cold -- and a dry hand is a warm hand.
The CW 4.0 Gloves also feature a full palm of I-Vario, a grip-enhancing material that also decreases vibration; while a soft microsuede thumb panel will gently wipe a pesky runny nose. The gloves also have a neoprene cuff for added warmth (they'll stay snug around your wrist) and use Velcro for easy closure (they're easy to pull on and take off, even when riding).
The Castelli CW 4.0 Windstopper Gloves come in Black/anthracite and are offered in five sizes from Small through XX-Large.
- Windstopper X-Fast fabric blocks cold air, while its fleece lining retains heat for warmth
- Soft fleece lining also wicks perspiration for for comfort and control
- A neoprene cuff with hook-and-loop closure provides a weatherproof seal
- I-Vario padded palm dampens vibration for reduced fatigue on long rides
- Microsuede thumb keeps your appearance acceptable

Nice gloves but NOT for the cold

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
As typical of Castelli products these are well made, but after commuting a few times in weather in the 30-40 range I'd say they are a shoulder season glove. Oddly enough the tips of the fingers get really cold around the seams, not sure if that's based on how the little bit of insulation and Windstopper is added or not.

these fit nicely & work well enough in weather over freezing but below 32degrees you'll need something warmer
Is there actually any real padding in this...

Is there actually any real padding in this glove or is the palm just gripper?
Jon Bear
Member since
No padding in these gloves
Not a winter glove...
Member since
These gloves have proven not to be warm enough much below 38 F. I was using them today at 34~35 F and my fingers were numb in about an hour. Adding Hincapie glove liners helped a little, but these gloves are not keeping me warm enough when the temp approaches freezing.
Sadly I will have to go back to my ENORMOUS PI gloves and look like the Michelin Man on wheels.
The gloves are nice in the range of 38 - 45, but at the high end of that range they are actually too warm. I will continue to carry these gloves, liners, and the heavy pair. Winter riding is always a lot of take off as one warms, but I hate cold fingers.
warm enough

Member since
gloves fit nice. Standard cycling glove fit runs a bit small. Hands have stayed warm in temps down to the mid 30's. Have not ridden colder yet, but think they would continue to perform to lower temps. Windstopper is excellent and the quality appears to be on par with Castelli products, thumbs up. update: These gloves are really not for colder temps below the mid thirties, same warmth as the Castelli Chiro Due, but more expensive. great glove for mild winter weather.

Donald O'Connor was born on August 28, 1925, and was recruited into movies from his family's vaudeville act, becoming a featured dancer in low-budget musicals. After WWII, he starred in Francis the Talking Mule, which went on to have six sequels. A solo dance number in the film Singin' in the Rain (1952) launched O'Connor to A-list status. He went on to star in several other popular films, such as There's No Business Like Show Business (1954) before dying on September 27, 2003.
Childhood on the Road
Actor Donald O'Connor was born on August 28, 1925, in Chicago, Illinois. He was the fourth surviving child of Effie and Edward O'Connor, two stars of vaudeville who had first won fame as Ringling Bros. circus performers. Ten months after O'Connor's birth, his 7-year-old sister Arline was struck by a car and killed. O'Connor's devastated father died of a heart attack weeks later.
During the Great Depression, the surviving O'Connor's traveled from city to city, performing for food if necessary. Effie O'Connor had become extremely overprotective of her remaining children, seeming never to completely recover from the shock of losing her daughter and husband. O'Connor joined the family act when he was just a toddler. He enjoyed being on stage, which also served as escape from his domineering mother.
Early Roles
In 1937, O'Connor was spotted by Paramount Pictures, and hired to play Bing Crosby's brother in Sing You Sinners (1938). The hit musical launched his career as Paramount's newest child actor. He went on to make 11 films from 1938-39, usually playing an orphan or the younger version of the film's lead, including Men With Wings (1938), Unmarried, and Beau Geste (both 1939).
After an impressive start, O'Connor's film career was abruptly put on hold. He had to return to vaudeville in the latter part of 1939, when his brother Bill suddenly died. O'Connor served as Bill's replacement, touring with the family act until 1942. Later that year, he was hired by Universal Studios and paired up with dancer Peggy Ryan. The duet joined a new Hollywood dance troupe, The Jivin' Jacks and Jills, for a series of B-musicals. The ensemble debuted in the 1942 film What's Cookin'?, for which they were credited as a group. However, O'Connor and Ryan's well-received performance earned them separate billing in their next projects.
Assuming that O'Connor would soon be called into the Army, Universal held him to a stringent work schedule, hoping to cram in as much rehearsal time as possible. As expected, on his 18th birthday, he was drafted, and the films were rushed into production. Throughout the rest of World War II, Universal continued to release the popular and profitable O'Connor/Ryan films.
Big Break
While in the Army, O'Connor served in the Special Services Corps, where he was given the suitable job of entertaining his fellow soldiers. After his discharge he returned to Hollywood where he starred in Something in the Wind (1947), opposite Deanna Durbin.

Neighbors stress community involvement after shooting
One Columbia man died Sunday afternoon after being shot on North Eighth Street. The shooting is one of many that have recently occurred in Columbia. Police have increased the number of patrollers downtown.
The Douglass Park Neighborhood Association spokesperson Tyree Byndom said the extra police force hasn't been effective. He also said for now the only thing people in the neighborhood can do is stay alert.
"There's really not much an individual, the Neighborhood Association, even the police – it's their job – that can do to police it other than trying to make sure that we know our neighbors, that the young men or young individuals understand what rites of passage are, so we're just going to continue to do the same work that we're doing."
Byndom said more people need to get involved to stop shooting incidents from happening again. The police have arrested 18-year-old Larrell Banks as Sunday's murder suspect.

Primaloft® Comfort Pillow
The Best Pillows
I have purchased many of these for both home and Airstream. They are the perfect loft for comfortable side & stomach sleeping.
February 4, 2014
Love, love these pillows
These pillows are so comfortable to sleep on. They are not too flat, not too thick but just right. And they are hypoallergenic too.
February 4, 2014
Greatest pillow
This is the best pillow. I have been searching for a long time and have found one that works GREAT! Lots of support but not too hard.
January 28, 2014
Disappointing for side sleepers
I have been looking for a supportive down-free, non-foam pillow for a while, and the positive reviews for this one caught my eye. Love Garnet Hill! Sadly, this product is a disappointment for me. The loft mashed down on the very first use -- faster than the cheap pillows I needed to replace. The plllow covering and the fill do seem high quality but there's little support for a side sleeper.
I wonder if these pillows have changed over time since my experience with this product certainly does not match the positive reviews here. So I've spent the money and still don't have side sleeper pillows I can use. Sigh.
January 21, 2014
My Favorite Pillows
I first bought these Primaloft Comfort Pillows about three years ago. They are so comfortable and are of good quality. I keep coming back to them when new ones are needed in my family.
January 18, 2014
Best Pillow Ever
Bought 2 pillows & covers - I have difficulty with pillows not supporting my neck, and this has solved my problem. One pillow for me, the other pillow for my sister as a Christmas present. I sleep well and wake up without neck pain - thank you!

I think they're a bit squishy, and they get softer with time, so no, I don't think they're extra firm.2 years, 5 months ago
It's not really firm - those don't work well for me with my neck issues. But it is curiously supportive because of the baffling. You can return it at any time, so you might want to give it a try. I did and I am super happy with it.2 years, 5 months ago

I would say these pillows are NOT extra firm, in fact they are more medium in terms of firmness. Hope this helps.2 years, 5 months ago
No, I would not classify these pillows as extra firm. They are more in the medium firm category.Age: Over 65

I'd say they are moderately firm - they aren't down so they remain firm (not super squishy and they don't compress much) but i wouldn't say they are EXTRA firm. Hope that helps!2 years, 5 months ago
No, these are a soft medium density pillow2 years, 5 months ago
No, these are not firm pillows. While they are fluffy, they are also soft. They give light support. If you like extra firmness, these are not for you.Age: 55-64

they are better for a standard pillow.Age: 45-54

The pillow cases fit snugly, but there's no need to wrestle with the pillow and case to change them. It's a matter of personal taste, I suppose. I like them snug and just long enough to cover the pillow. If you don't, best to order a queen or king.Age: Over 65

Yes, I'm using the jersey knit standard cases on the queen size pillows.2 years, 5 months ago
No, you would need a queen sized pillowcase. Otherwise, you are stuffing the pillow inside a standard case and you would not get the full benefit of the pillow's loft.Age: 55-64
Gender: Female

A queen pillow would not fit a standard size pillowcase. A queen size pillow and our standard size pillowcases both measure 20 x 30.2 years, 6 months ago
