Katrina evacuees won't have to leave their hotel rooms any time soon.
A federal judge in New Orleans says the Federal Emergency Management Agency can't end its hotel program for refugees until February7. That's a month later than FEMA had planned.
Judge Stanwood Duval's temporary restraining order came in a class action lawsuit filed in November by advocates for hurricane victims.
Attorneys pressing the lawsuit said FEMA should not be allowed to end the hotel program because it has failed to provide other housing aid, such as rental assistance checks, to many victims who qualify for it.
Also, the attorneys say information on how to apply for the aid has been slow to reach those who need it most.
FEMA continues to pick up the tab for an estimated 41,000 hotel rooms in Florida and 46 states and the District of Columbia at an estimated cost so far of about $350 million.
Howard Godnick, one of the lawyers who filed the lawsuit, said the ruling will ease the burden on Katrina victims stuck in hotels and unable to find other housing.

I was following an unmarked squad with 3 officers inside through the housing projects in Red Hook, and they slowed to the point where they were only going 5-10 mph. Believing they were going to stop, I went ahead and went around them on a surface street with double yellow lines. I accelerated quickly but don't believe I exceeded the 30 mph limit. They pulled me over, they were clearly very unhappy. They asked me if I had been drinking, I had had one half full shot of Jack Daniels about half an hour earlier and that was it. They ordered me out of the vehicle and gave me a pat down, and proceeded to search the vehicle even though I can't imagine on what basis they could have had probable cause to do the search. They asked me if I had ever been arrested, and I replied that I ha

I guess that I'm new here. I joined this a few weeks ago, but I failed to post in this community. I watched BR last year at my friend's house and it has been my favorite ever since. I am currently reading the 617 page novel and I completed the first volume of the Manga which came out in the U.S. at about May 1st. I've been watching trailers of BR2 and looking up all the characters. I can't wait until I see it!

High on the success of Final Fight, the team ran full speed into Street Fighter 2 with Okamoto, Yasuda, Funamizu and others throwing out ideas and Nishitani bringing them together. This time the game used six buttons from the start, offered eight playable characters and focused on creating a sense of competition, which was, in part, inspired by trying to crack the arcade business model."When I got the game [in the U.S. office], I wasn't a gamer, but I was looking at six buttons and I'm saying, 'Holy shit, it almost looks like a PC game. It's gonna be too complicated,'" says Jeff Walker. "I remember getting on a phone with Okamoto saying, 'Knock it down to two buttons. Come on, this is crazy.' And he kept telling me, 'Jeff, you're not a gamer. Let it go. It's what's going to make the game unique.' And yadda yadda yadda. He was right."
Yoshiki Okamoto:
Back in the day, people at arcades weren't happy. Space Invaders was popular and cost 100 yen ($1) to play. And we were thinking, if you're playing a shooter and there's a lot of bullets coming at you, that's a lot of fun. But if it doesn't last very long, then developers are happy and arcade operators are happy, but players aren't happy. So we were thinking really hard about what would make everybody happy.
We thought about putting big machines in arcades, so you would need to spend 500 yen per game — developers would be happy because they would make more money, players would be happy because they would get a better experience, but arcade operators wouldn't be happy because it would cost a lot to swap these big machines in and out.
So we thought about it more and came to the conclusion that if two people played at once ... operators would get twice the money. Players would essentially split the cost so they could both play for longer. We kind of did that with Final Fight since players help each other out, but we realized some players still felt cheated because the game was too difficult ... If we dictated the difficulty, players could always get frustrated. But if players were competing against each other, whether they won or lost would be up to them. So we were thinking that could take out the frustration.
John Gillin (Director of marketing, Capcom USA):
I think the great thing was it really stoked players' competitiveness ... It was a deep game; it still is a deep game, and it was one that required a lot of time with it, a lot of quarters in the arcades.
Yoshiki Okamoto:
I had the team put together a concept and the art, and I would look through the design documents and tell them what I liked — what to keep and what to throw out. I'd say this is approved or not approved. There were lots of times people would ignore what I said too. Nishitani would sometimes say no and reject my ideas. ...
You know how each character has a life bar? At one point, I wanted to make the power gauge for Chun-Li shorter than for the other characters because women are not as strong. But Nishitani didn't want to do that. We both had legitimate reasons, but then we came to an agreement to not make it shorter.
Akira Nishitani:
Hmm, I don't remember that.
Yoko Shimomura:
I had no idea [Mr. Okamoto suggested that]. I think that since women live longer maybe their life bars should be longer. [Laughs]
Akira Nishitani:
I would say yes to almost everything people would bring me. ... Back then, there were several teams creating games at Capcom, so the teams were competing with each other. But the Street Fighter 2 team was also competing amongst itself — the programmers and artists were each working on their own characters, which led to a lot of rivalries. You know, "My character's going to be better than yours."
Because of that, they'd each come up with crazy ideas and bring them to me. And I didn't want to tell them, "Ah, that won't fit with our game system, so you should do something else." Or "that idea's too crazy — you should come up with something less over the top." I didn't want to discourage their creativity, so I said, "OK cool, I'll make that happen, and come up with more crazy ideas and I'll make those happen too."
I think that's part of the reason why the game turned out well. These days, as the president of a company, I can't be as irresponsible as I was back then. So sometimes what I'll tell people today is different from what I'd tell them then. Back when I was making Street Fighter 2 though, that was my attitude.
James Goddard:
I just think it really resonated with people because they could be the character they wanted to be. ... It was like something out of a kung fu movie where you have all these guys do weird things.
Akira Nishitani:
Initially, Dhalsim's arms and legs didn't stretch as long as they ended up in the final game. But everybody wanted to make their character better than the others, so his arms and legs just kept getting longer and longer. During development I was thinking, well, in the worst case scenario I'm going to make them stretch about half the length that they ended up. But I was able to make it work in a balanced way.
Yoko Shimomura:
I think the crazy personalities of the staff showed in the gameplay. Because all these unique people got together and everybody had something they wanted to do. So they gathered all of that and put it together into one game. And because of that, I think it turned out to be something unique.
One of Street Fighter 2's most popular features was a subtle tweak to the original game's control scheme. To reduce the reliance on luck, the team made it easier for players to perform characters' special moves. As it turned out, this opened up the game in a way the designers didn't intend, allowing players to link together multiple hits before their opponents could react. In short, they invented the combo. Some called it a bug.
Yoshiki Okamoto:
[Nishitani] is a genius, and he's also great at analyzing and studying games. At one point, I saw him spending time analyzing why it was so difficult to pull off a Shoryuken [special move] in the original Street Fighter — it's really difficult to perform the command, but it inflicts a lot of damage if you do it right. And everybody just had that idea that a Shoryuken was tough to pull off but when you did it was very powerful. But Nishitani said, "It doesn't have to be like that. If you could make it easier to perform, it would make the game look cooler and be less about luck." That really surprised me and changed the way I thought about game design.
Motohide Eshiro (Programmer, Capcom Japan):
Early on in development it became clear that we were being a little too strict and a little too severe with the input methods. So when you did the down, down-forward, forward punch [input to perform a fireball], you had to hit punch at exactly the minute you were hitting right on the joystick or it wouldn't work. And it was just really hard for people to get their heads around that — it really felt like you were doing it right and it wasn't working. So we decided to open up that timing a little bit, just by a few frames, so that if you hit that punch button within those few frames you'd be OK and your fireball would work.
And as a side effect of that — so I guess if you wanted to call it a bug, you could, but really it was a side effect of giving people more time to enter the button — players could perform combos. So if you were doing a crouching kick by holding down, and then pressed right and punch when your character was doing that animation, you could connect those together. It wasn't intentional to let players combine moves into combos, but it wasn't a bug in that it was planned to make it easier to do your special moves.
[Okamoto tells another version of the story behind the invention of the combo, crediting someone named "Ikee-chan" with the idea and implementation of the first combo. No one else we asked was familiar with Ikee-chan or this version of the story, and Okamoto wasn't able to point us in a direction to find him today.]
To many, Street Fighter 2's art was its defining feature, thanks in part to the money Capcom threw at the visuals. The art staff accounted for more than half of the development team, with approximately 20 artists split between character designs, faces and backgrounds, all working under Akira Yasuda.
Scott Smith (Product manager, Capcom USA):
It was probably the most beautiful game for its time — the background animations, the character animations ...
Tom Shiraiwa:
[Mr. Yasuda] is such a talented artist ... When he designed characters, he [planned out their moves up front] in a way that the animation looked best ... No other artist could do that. He was a pioneer.
James Goddard:
If you look at some of the fighting games out there that are so-so, they don't have good colorform breakup. So when [characters] throw a kick or a punch, it all kind of bleeds together so you don't track the limbs that well. And this guy was way ahead of his time on all of that.
Yoshiki Okamoto:
Each artist drew each pixel on the characters, so in general it took about 10 months for an artist to draw a character. ... [Yasuda] drew Chun-Li, but he did that in just a month and a half. So he would go around and teach people how to draw stuff. Then toward the end of development, he would crank stuff out in a really short amount of time, but the quality was really high. That's how good of an artist he was.
Yoko Shimomura:
Chun-Li has big thighs, right? So back in the day, I asked Mr. Yasuda, "Why does she have such big thighs?" And he started shouting and went off and was like, "I can't believe you don't understand the appeal." And he started explaining the attraction. And you know, I'm a woman and I asked the question but it kind of got awkward when he started explaining his fetishes. I mean, he has really strong feelings toward his creations. There's a reason for everything being the way that it is. When I heard that, I thought maybe that's something that everybody thinks, but everybody doesn't go out telling everybody. But he just told me.
Yoshiki Okamoto:
The work was really tough, but now when I look back on it, the work is pretty flavorful. Like Blanka, for instance — when he moves back, his back gets smaller. It wasn't supposed to happen like that, but that just happened because of how we were creating the art, and that brings me a nostalgic feeling.
To celebrate Capcom's 30th anniversary, last year the company organized promotional events across Japan, such as this small art exhibit in the basement of a Tsutaya store in Osaka's Dotonbori district. The display included concept art from various Capcom games, with early Street Fighter sketches showing characters such as Ryu, Chun-Li and Zangief.
Once the team locked in the game's concept and art style, the soundtrack and sound effects fell to Yoko Shimomura, who had also previously worked on Final Fight. Shimomura would later go on to work on some of the Japanese game industry's biggest franchises including Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts.
Yoko Shimomura:
When a project came around, Capcom usually looked for people in the sound department who were free at the moment, and I was free. ... There were two projects that needed sound composers at that time, and I just happened to pick Street Fighter 2. ...
At first, I was worried if I'd be able to pull the job off right, because it was a fighting game and I wasn't sure if that would match my style. ... Before Street Fighter 2 came along, the sound composition across all Capcom titles had a heavier tone, a cooler tone. But I made it lighter and more upbeat and had more fun with the tracks ... There were people within the company saying, "OK this seems a little off from Capcom's style." But Mr. Nishitani said, "No, this is fun. We should do this."
Akira Nishitani:
I liked her approach a lot. I remember asking her to make melodies that were clear and easy to remember instead of image songs. And I think she did that perfectly. ... Each character had a different country of origin, so the main direction I gave was to compose songs that reflected those countries.
Yoko Shimomura:
Mr. Nishitani would come up to me and show me designs of the characters and explain the personalities of the characters and ask me to make theme songs for each character. And then I would look at the backgrounds and the character descriptions and all that, and I noticed that each character had a unique background. And because of that, I suggested making each theme song based on their background country and culture. So it was kind of like a brainstorming session — he would have his orders and I would come up with ideas. ...
I think the crazy personalities on the team carried over to how the game was made. Usually on a game, the programmers don't have a say about the music. But with Street Fighter 2, I composed a track that I was thinking, "Oh maybe this could be good for Guile's theme song or Ken's theme song," but I didn't say anything. I just composed the song and let everybody hear it. And then the programmer who was working on Guile, [Mr. Eshiro], was like, "OK I love this song. I like this track a lot, so I'm taking this track for my stage." Usually programmers won't say things like that, so I was surprised. But it turned out that was sort of what I was intending it for in the first place.
Kazunori "Ippo" Yamada (Composer, Capcom Japan):
Ms. Shimomura left Capcom before I started there, so I just knew her music as a player. But when I first heard her tracks, they blew my mind. The great thing about her work is not that it's particularly complex, but the way she creates a very catchy tone, kind of like Michael Jackson. In a short segment she's able to describe a lot. Once you hear a bit of Ken's theme or Chun-Li's theme, you instantly feel like you're in this special place. A lot of people know her for her work on games after she joined Square Enix, but I feel like my favorite work of her's is what she did on Street Fighter 2.
Much like the theme songs, the game's character designs were also rooted in the team's interpretations of different countries — the sumo wrestler from Japan, the fire-breathing yogi fighter from India, etc. And in certain cases, the character names played into those stereotypes, making some in the U.S. office uneasy.
Tom Shiraiwa:
At that time, there was no localization department. Actually, there was no such word as "localization." It was just "translation." And I was the only one in [the Japan sales] office itself that actually liked arcade games, so I had to take charge in that translation job.
Scott Smith:
There's always something [that gets lost in translation]. ... But usually we had a reason.
Ian Rose (General counsel, Capcom USA):
There was the concern that M. Bison was way too close to Mike Tyson. The original M. Bison [in Japan became] Balrog [in the U.S.].
Scott Smith:
The concern was Mike Tyson was still big at that time and Nintendo had Punch-Out!!, and so they just didn't want to get into it.
Tom Shiraiwa:
[Capcom USA executives] believed they could get sued. But at that time, all the name graphics had already been done, so there was no way to create another graphic just to replace it. ... So whatever fit with the character graphics was OK. I mean, it was not the best choice. There was a lot of argument that "Vega" — that doesn't fit with the character, with the clothes. But there was no other choice. It was a reluctant decision, but getting sued is a much bigger problem.
Akira Nishitani:
It's true that [Russian wrestler] Zangief's name was originally Vodka, but that was just a placeholder name so it wasn't heart crushing or anything when we changed it. ... I didn't really have strong feelings about it either way.
Tom Shiraiwa:
[With "Nash" changing to "Charlie"], it once again came from the U.S. I always did a literal translation of the original Japanese, and of course I translated it as Nash. Then they gave it to someone at Capcom U.S., and they came back and changed the name. I asked them why, but they said "Nash is not an English name, basically. So we've got to change it to something else, otherwise people will not recognize it as a name or maybe they may not have some attachment to this character, and he's supposed to be a U.S. soldier." And they suggested, "How about Charlie?"
Akira Nishitani:
In general, I understood when the U.S. office changed character names. It wasn't like I was excited about it, but I felt like, "If that has to happen, that has to happen."
Tom Shiraiwa:
Back then the developers were not so familiar with overseas projects, so whatever the U.S. people said the developers felt like they had to do; otherwise the game wouldn't be accepted overseas. And I kind of believed in that too. But after a few years we started to realize, "Hey, this is just their ego." ... They wanted to change everything they could [so they could say they played a role in the development]. Even the titles, right? Like Biohazard to Resident Evil. [After] we learned that, developers actually often refused to listen to their suggestions, or tried to get a second opinion from someone else. But back then on Street Fighter 2, whatever Americans said was the absolute truth we had to follow.
In 1991, Street Fighter 2 went on sale from Capcom distributors to arcades around the world. Capcom had put more money into it than any other arcade game to date, and many at the company were hopeful that the one-on-one approach would pay off, continuing on Final Fight's success. It didn't take long to gain a following, though it started slowly in Japan.
Yoshiki Okamoto:
When we first put the game on location test [in Japan], people played it maybe 98 or 99 times a day. We were predicting 300 to 400, but nobody fought against other people — they all just played solo. So we were thinking, "Oh, this is a huge failure," since people weren't playing the way we intended. ...
We put a lot of effort in letting people know you could fight each other, but at first that message didn't really reach people. Then there was a game magazine called Gamest [in Japan] that wrote about it a lot. And Gamest wrote that "battle play" is the hot thing going on, and then people started to acknowledge it. Then after awhile, boom, it blew up. But until it blew up, I was having a hard time because people around me were saying, "Oh you should have made another Final Fight instead of Street Fighter. Your game tanked." When I decided to make the game, I had ignored other people's opinions, so until it started selling I was feeling very uncomfortable.
Jeff Walker:
I got [an early version of Street Fighter 2 in the U.S. office] and normally ... we would test the game for ideally four weeks before I would go to market with it and pitch it to my distribution network. Well, I only had six days the way it turned out, because of course the board came in late and we already planned distributor meetings ...
So I remember being down in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and we're launching the game down there. And I didn't even have the earnings back yet. I mean, they were coming in — we had one unit in Sunnyvale Golfland; the other one was in Milpitas. So I had my testers go out there and I said, "Hey man, I've gotta have some kind of idea what's in there." So they said, "Well we opened the cash box up. We haven't even hit the weekend yet, just been cruising through the week." And ... I think it was like $650 that was in there. I go, "That's not bad. That's not bad." So I said, "Well, let me just do a little surmising. Eh, it'll probably end up doing about 800. That's a really good report." So I'm down in Florida basically telling my distribution network, "I think it's gonna be about an $800 a week game, based on testing in Milpitas." And then seven days came up after my distributor meeting, and the thing made $1,300.
So one of the things that we quickly found was, Golfland says, "We're having problems with the players, because everybody's backed up on the unit. Can we get another one?" "Yes, you can get another one." We bring another one out. Now I'm afraid if I put a second one in there I'm gonna cannibalize it. I'm gonna have two doing $600. Not the case at all. They both do 14. So now we know we've got a juggernaut on our hands. Sunnyvale Golfland and Milpitas, I believe at the peak, were probably operating up to 15 units inside there. And you know, the game went through the ceiling.
Brian Duke:
The only way that you ever got to a thousand dollar a week earnings in any sort of game that I had been associated with was when you had three- or four-player multiplayer-type games, or ones where [you had a big machine and operators charged] a dollar per game or a dollar fifty per game. ...
I remember when we first started shipping, I had to send people about 10 percent of their order because we just flat out did not have enough to meet the demand. ... And I remember one of our distributors even got super, super healthy and super, super big by requiring that any of their customers had to pay cash up front, had to be current on their account and had to pay up front. So it was just unbelievable that customers would be paying up a $10,000 or $20,000 account to be able to buy a dedicated machine for $2,500. And the price went up after awhile.
Jeff Walker:
The game just took off. ... Even the LA riots worked out for me because when they were looting the street, they were running down the streets from the 7-11 stores with Street Fighter games in their hands. ... [We got lots of] press because there were the cameras going up on these guys running down the street with Street Fighter games.
Brian Duke:
We sold, if I remember correctly, it was around 20,000. ... I remember having orders every month of a thousand standing orders [on the West Coast] and we would only get in 1,200 for the entire U.S. at a time.
"We put a lot of effort in letting people know you could fight each other, but at first that message didn't really reach people."
Jeff Walker:
We did — between dedicated and kits — we did about 20-25,000 both with Street Fighter 2 and [later with the sequel, Champion Edition].
Yoshiki Okamoto:
I don't remember how many units we sold overall, but within Japan probably around 30,000 units.
Jeff Walker:
I did a couple of semi-controversial things. One of the things was I made all my distributors pay me everything they owed me before I started shipping the game, so we could collect all our money. I thought it was gonna be stupid any other way. ... Normally you know, they're supposed to pay in 30 days, but then they pay the hot hand. Whoever's got the product, they pay them quicker. So I just sat back and said, "We're gonna collect the money." So it was really good for Capcom. I also told the distributors, "Go collect from your operators. Let's get some money in for this game." So it was one of the first times of really using the product like that to control everybody's cash and exposure on the deal. ... We ended up doing $78 million dollars worth of Street Fighter that year, so it was a good thing we did it.
Ian Rose:
The American sales force, of course, they were kind of freewheeling guys. They were well compensated, but they kind of played by their own rules or by the rules of the industry as they understood it. And you know, [as time went on] there was a tension there [between Capcom USA and Capcom Japan].
Jeff Walker:
It was definitely polar opposite cultures. You know, I had a nice, big office in Santa Clara and I got paid a ton and all my sales guys drove Porches and Mercedes, and we had unlimited expense accounts, we golfed Pebble Beach every month. It was crazy. I go over to Japan, and my same counterpart is making a fraction of what I'm making and he's sitting in a cubicle.
Brian Duke:
It just was phenomenal. It was the best thing that I've ever been associated with. ... I made more money that year than I ever have made in my life. ... We were on a two percent commission [in the U.S. sales department], and very shortly after that year they switched to one percent commission, and I continued selling that game for two or three years. It was beautiful. And after the one percent they cut out the commission completely.

For a while I heard rumors someone was going to start a website similar to Facebook or Digg, which would provide a button on websites so that you could vote on how truthful you found each article. You could also explain why the author was right or wrong.
They were going to record stuff about each user so that they knew how much weight to put on your opinion. It was supposed to make user created content more accurate, or at least make it easier to see whether it was considered accurate. I don't know if they ever went forward with it though.

The Spada Gallery is located in one of the wings on the first floor of the majestic 17th century Palazzo Spada, which is famous for its façade and for Borromini's false perspective work, located in the courtyard. The collection located in the Spada Gallery was begun in the 17th century by Cardinal Bernardino Spada, an enthusiastic supporter and patron of art and artists; his brother also contributed to the collection. Other works were added as a result of the marriage between Orazio Spada and Maria Veralli, as well as by purchases made in the 17th and 18th centuries by Bernardino's grandson, Cardinal Fabrizio Spada. The collection is displayed in four frescoed halls, according to 17th century style, with frame touching frame and smaller paintings above larger paintings.
The majority of the paintings in the gallery dates to between the 16th and 17th centuries and includes works by Guercino, Gentileschi, Reni, Titian, Andrea del Sarto, Caravaggio and Rubens. The halls themselves are decorated with impressive antique furniture and also contain sculptural works. If you like this gallery, head over to the Galleria Colonna, the Doria Pamphilj Gallery, or even the Castel Sant'Angelo Museum.

Girl Meets Boy (Myths) (edition 2008)
by Ali Smith
Work details
Girl Meets Boy : The Myth of Iphis by Ali Smith
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
In Greek myth, Iphis was born a girl, but raised as a boy to protect her from her father's wrath. After coming of age and becoming engaged to the beautiful Ianthe, Iphis and her mother pray to the goddess Isis, who transforms Iphis into a boy in time for the wedding.
Scottish novelist Ali Smith has created a prickly, exuberant novella that brings the Iphis myth into the modern age with abundant humor and breathtaking sexuality. It's 150 pages and it packs an emotional wallop all out of proportion with its size: I challenge anyone to read it and not feel utterly joyous and exhilarated.
A lovely read that is well written and an interesting read.
Set in Inverness, the story is of two sisters in their late teens/early 20s growing up and finding love.
The voices in the novel vary between Imogen and Anthea. At the beginning they both work for Pure, a corporate giant that wants to sell bottled water to the world and is full of corporate speak. Anthea is clearly not happy working within corporate constraints, Imogen seems to love it. However, the novel allows them both to see the brutality of being a woman in a corporate culture and gives them both the opportunity to break free.
It shouldn't be difficult to write a feminist novel and not seem like you are preaching and Ali Smith has certainly managed this. Her treatment of corporate culture is little more clumsy, but no less enjoyable to read.
There were times when I got irritated with the repetition in the novel; for example, in such a short novel to have a page and a half of words and phrases to describe getting married seemed extravagant; the joy of the union came across, but could have been achieved with less words.
This was a lovely little novella in which Ovid's story of Iphis and Ianthe plays a part. There's also stories told within a family, sisters who don't really get one another, annoying jobs and friends, and falling in love.
Sisters Imogen and Anthea both work for Pure, a Scottish bottled water corporation. While Imogen anxiously competes with her male co-workers on the creative team, Anthea would prefer to be anywhere else. Leaving work early one day, Anthea encounters the most beautiful boy she has ever seen . . . writing socially conscious graffiti on Pure property. Only it isn't a boy. And Anthea is smitten.
Told in alternating voices, Girl Meets Boy details Anthea falling in love and finding herself while Imogen dithers over learning that her sister is "one of them" and fears that others at Pure will find out. In the end, Imogen, too, learns something about herself and the importance of staying true to that self.
Smith is having so much fun retelling the myth of Iphis that she manages to sneak in some feminisit and anti-corporate diatribe without it feeling overly heavy-handed. I've had mixed reactions to her 'experimental' style (loved it in There but for the and The Accidental, found it more overbearing in Hotel World and elsewhere). Here, where she is dealing with her characters' inner thoughts and immediate reactions, it works much better. Overall, a fast and fairly enjoyable read.
A modern version of the myth of Iphis, originally found in Ovid's Metamorphoses. This version deals a little bit with fluidity of gender as well as the modern corporate world. Written in a semi-stream of consciousness style, this short book had a dreamlike quality to it that I liked very much. However, it is one where I wish I had not read any other opinions of it while reading, as I noticed the flatness of some of the characters and the unsubtlety of the politics. I think that may have been intentional on the part of the author though, because myths typically are not filled with complex characters or messages. I liked the writing so much that I will definitely try and read more of Smith's work. This is part of Canongate's Myths series, of which I have also read and enjoyed Margaret Atwood's The Penelopiad. 8.5/10.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English (1)
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0676978754, Hardcover)Another internationally acclaimed writer contributes a fascinating, compelling reinterpretation of a myth that resonates deeply today.
Ligdus and Telethusa are having a child, but they cannot afford to have a girl. Ligdus informs Telethusa that she had better hope for a boy. While this decision makes them both sad, Telethusa "must/obey." She prays to Isis, but births a girl and names her Iphis, a name that "suited male or female–/a neutral name." She convinces everyone, including Ligdus, that Iphis is a boy.
Iphis matures and falls in love with another girl, Ianthe, and is engaged for marriage, yet s/he is ruled by the sexual norms of the time: "[P]ossessed by love so strange . . . no female wants/a female!" but "no learned art–can ever make of me/a boy." She attempts to reconcile her love for Ianthe against the pressures of "nature." The wedding day is near, Telethusa is desperate, and prays again to Isis. Iphis is transformed, looking like a boy.
Is Ovid suggesting that what we think is nature is attitude? Does Iphis grow a penis? Or does Iphis, adopting the characteristics of a boy, remain a girl married to a girl, undermining traditional values?
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:58:45 -0400)
'Girl Meets Boy' is a story as old as time. But what happens when an old story meets brand new circumstances? Ali Smith's re-mix of Ovid's most joyful metamorphosis is a story about the kind of fluidity that can't be bottled or sold.

FEDERAL WAY, WASHINGTON (BNO NEWS) — At least five people were confirmed dead after a domestic dispute in the state of Washington turned into a deadly shooting, officials said Monday.
The violent shooting took place in Federal Way, Washington, located just south of Seattle, at around 9:30 p.m. local time after a domestic dispute between a couple at the Pinewood Apartments residential complex.
Federal Way Police Chief Brian Wilson spoke during a news conference on Monday, stating that the 28-year-old gunman was arguing with his girlfriend when he shot her dead. He then went outside and shot and killed two other men in the parking lot. Shortly after he forced himself into a neighboring apartment where he shot and killed a 61-year-old man.
Local police received the emergency call and arrived as gunshots were still being fired. KOMO News reported that the police confronted the gunman on a stairway. The gunman was wounded but fled. He was later found on the ground not far away from the initial point of confrontation. After not following orders, he reached out for a handgun and police opened fire, which ultimately killed the man.
No officers were hurt, Wilson said, although it was uncertain whether the gunman had shot against the police. The relationship between the other victims and the gunman was not immediately known, but authorities said he might have been trying to eliminate witnesses.
The gunman had permission to carry the firearm, despite having a history of incidents regarding domestic violence. The names of the suspect and victims were not immediately disclosed.

Paperback - Imperfect Thirst Paperback - Imperfect Thirst Hardcover - IMPERFECT THIRST Paperback - Imperfect Thirst Similar Items: Walking Down the Stairs: Selections from Interviews (Poets on Poetry) Editorial Reviews: SynopsisGalway Kinnell reaffirms his status as "one of the true master poets of his generation" with the publication of Imperfect Thirst, his twelfth book of poems. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry and the American Book Award (Selected Poems, 1982) and many other awards including a MacArthur Fellowship, Kinnell is perhaps more deeply steeped in the tradition of Whitman than any of his contemporaries. He stands today in the first rank of American poets born in the 1920s. Imperfect Thirst brings together poems which delicately consider the loss of loved ones from childhood, which rejoice in the late love of women, and which face head-on the imminence and power of the shadow of death. Poems like "Rapture," "Running on Silk," and "The Night" are among the most beautiful of love poems of recent years, and poems such as "Holy Shit" approach their elemental subjects with a remarkable balance of good nature and holy dread. It was Morris Dickstein who heralded Kinnell as "one of the true master CERTAIN CONTENT THAT APPEARS ON THIS SITE COMES FROM AMAZON SERVICES LLC.

|It is a lovely thing to have a husband and wife developing together and having the feeling of falling in love again. That is what marriage really means helping one another to reach the full status of being persons, responsible and autonomous beings who do not run away from life.
– Paul Tournier
|It is a mad man who gather in an angry Lion's den.
– Pauline Musariri
|It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.

|It is a mass language only in the same sense that its baseball slang is born of baseball players. That is, it is a language which is being molded by writers to do delicate things and yet be within the grasp of superficially educated people. It is not a natural growth, much as its proletarian writers would like to think so. But compared with it at its best, English has reached the Alexandrian stage of formalism and decay.
– Raymond Chandler
|It is a melancholy truth that even great men have their poor relations.
– Charles Dickens, Bleak House
|It is a misfortune that necessity has induced men to accord greater license to this formidable engine, in order to obtain liberty, than can be borne with less important objects in view; for the press, like fire, is an excellent servant, but a terrible master.
– James Fenimore Cooper
|It is a mistake for a taciturn, serious-minded woman to marry a jovial man, but not for a serious-minded man to marry a lighthearted woman.
– Johann von Goethe
|It is a mistake to assume that a man is worth a lot of money just because he has it.
– Vikrant Parsai
|It is a mistake to regard age as a downhill grade toward dissolution. The reverse is true. As one grows older, one climbs with surprising strides.
– George Sand
|It is a mistake to speak of a bad choice in love, since as soon as a choice exists, it can only be bad.
– Marcel Proust
|It is a mistake to suppose that God is only, or even chiefly, concerned with religion.
– Archbishop William Temple, 1955
|It is a mistake to suppose that men succeed through success they much oftener succeed through failures. Precept, study, advice, and example could never have taught them so well as failure has done.

– Douglas Adams
|It is a mistake to try to look too far ahead. The chain of destiny can only be grasped one link at a time.

– Samuel Johnson
|It is a pain in the ass waiting around for someone to try to kill you.
– Roger Zelazny
|It is a paradoxical but profoundly true and important principle of life that the most likely way to reach a goal is to be aiming not at that goal itself but at some more ambitious goal beyond it.
– Arnold J. Toynbee
|It is a pleasure to give advice, humiliating to need it, normal to ignore it.
– Author Unknown
|It is a poor wit who lives by borrowing the words, decisions, inventions and actions of others.
– Johann Kaspar Lavater
|It is a primitive form of thought that things exist or do not exist.
– Sir Arthur Eddington
|It is a profitable thing, if one is wise, to seem foolish.
– Aeschylus
|It is a proverbial expression that every man is the maker of his own fortune, and we usually regard it as implying that every man by his folly or wisdom prepares good or evil for himself. But we may view it in another light, namely, that we may so accommodate ourselves to the dispositions of Providence as to be happy in our lot, whatever may be its privations.
– Von Humboldt
|It is a quite remarkable fact that the great religions of the most civilized peoples are more deeply fraught with sadness than the simpler beliefs of earlier societies. This certainly does not mean that the current of pessimism is eventually to submerge the other, but it proves that it does not lose ground and that it does not seem destined to disappear.
– Émile Durkheim
|It is a rather pleasant experience to be alone in a bank at night.
– Willie Sutton

|I live in Austin and saw my first blooms yesterday, several days after we had a lot of rain. Have you ever seen them or are they called something else where you live?;o)
Here is a link that might be useful: Rain lilies
Follow-Up Postings:
|Of course, Rain lilies (Zephyranthes spp.) are not true lilies (Lilium spp.), which is the focus of this forum. Nevertheless, they are quite beautiful bulb plants, and we here in the north grow them as pot plants, but can't let them winter outside. You will probably find more people interested in Rain lilies on the Bulb forum. :)

Corporate Officers
|> Back to Corporate Officers
In his current role, Blodgett leads two important segments of the Services business. He leads the Commercial Sector, providing expertise and support for commercial sector markets and clients. In addition, Blodgett directs the establishment of global capability groups that develop and deliver common services, such as customer care solutions, across industries. These capability groups take full advantage of scale and standard methodologies to create innovative industry-leading offerings delivered with efficiency and expertise from end-to-end.
Prior to this appointment, Tom served as COO for Xerox Services Europe where he was responsible for the entire breadth of the company's lines of business in the region (excluding the transportation group).
Earlier in his career, Blodgett served as as chief operating officer of Xerox Services' commercial operations, centered primarily in the United States. He was previously the group president of the business process solutions delivery unit for Xerox Services, growing this business from $50 million to over $1 billion in annual revenue in ten years.
With more than 20 years of senior management expertise in business process outsourcing (BPO), Blodgett is an industry pioneer. In 1985, his family founded Unibase, a data entry company acquired by Xerox Services in 1996. The acquisition expanded Xerox Services' capabilities in the BPO services market and created a service segment dedicated to delivering business process services.
He was also instrumental in developing Xerox Services' Operational Excellence model, a key company differentiator. He was an early proponent of Xerox Services' global outsourcing strategy, having opened the company's first offshore location in Monterrey, Mexico in 1995.

Two men rob a gas station on Rockford's east side last Thursday night. It happened at about 11:30 p.m. at the BP on 300 North Mulford. Police say two men armed with handguns entered the gas station and demanded money. Officials say one suspect jumped the counter... hit the clerk in the head... and took off with an unknown amount of cash. The victims injuries do not appear to be life-threatening.
Police describe the first suspect as a white man... between 5-foot-6 and 5-foot-8 inches tall... wearing a gray knit ski mask and gray gloves. He's the one police say jumped the counter and attacked the clerk.
The second suspect is described as a white man... 5-foot-10... wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt... jeans... a red ski mask and red gloves.
If you have any information on this crime... please call Rockford area Crimestoppers at 963-7867.

Athlete of the Week: Nick Runde
Date: July 22, 2009
by: Jen Blanco | Associate Editor
Eleven-year-old Nick Runde envisions having the perfect swing every time he steps to the plate.
In the eyes of the Braden River Little League 10- and-11-year-old all-star, the perfect swing can mean the difference between a hit and a homerun and ultimately a win and a loss. So what exactly does the perfect swing look like?
If you ask Runde, Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Evan Longoria is a textbook example.
"I just love his swing," Runde said. "Right off the bat when he hits it, you know it's going to be a homerun."
On July 17, the Braden River catcher showed off his version of the perfect swing, crushing a two-run homerun to deep center field.
"Really, I just tried to make contact and then everything else just comes together naturally," Runde said of his blast.
Runde went 1-for-2 on the night as Braden River fell to Manatee East 8-5 in the best-of-three championship series.
Following in the footsteps of his older brother, Alex, Runde began playing baseball when he was 4 years old. He started playing T-ball for Braden River and gradually worked his way through the system.
This year, Runde was selected to his second all-star team, having played on the 9- and 10-year-old all-star team last season.
"It kind of makes you feel special because you got picked out of everyone in the entire league," Runde said.
Runde maintained a .500 batting average through eight games with 10 hits, including four homeruns — two of which were grand slams in the same game — 18 RBIs and 11 runs scored.
Runde also threw out 11 runners while playing catcher in seven of the eight games, leading Braden River to a 4-4 record.

From the website: We are offering B&B right in the middle of the minute town of Goedereede, just a stone throw away from the beaches of the former isle of Goeree. Two luxureous rooms with en-suite bathroom and toilet in a listed building on the Markt square. Step out and relax on one of the terraces on the square, or go for a good meal in one of the restaurants.

The location in the middle of the little town is great. Good views, pubs on your doorstep and hardly any traffic. This should definitely count as a romantic getaway.
