Playing a manipulative character is kind of a minefield because you wind up falling into one of two traps. The first possibility is that you wind up not being very good at it because you aren't very manipulative. This isn't a mark against you, as none of the hallmarks of manipulation is thought of as a positive trait, but it does make your portrayal somewhat suspect.
On the other hand, maybe you're great at manipulating the people around you, which starts to blur the lines between players and characters and raises some uncomfortable questions all around. So that's not fun either.
Not that any of this tends to dissuade people; we love watching manipulative people, and the idea of playing one is appealing. It's a chance to make everyone dance to your tune, after all, even if it's just for a little while. So let's take a look at how you can play a manipulative character to the fullest without hurt feelings or informed traits.
Talk to people
Have I mentioned the importance of OOC communication lately? That goes for manipulative characters, too. In some ways it's even more important here, and at the same time, it winds up being more advantageous here.
No one likes being manipulated, but we love watching it happen. It creates the feeling of an intricate and careful duel of wits, like a rat being forced to run a maze without knowing what the ultimate point of the maze might be or even realizing that the maze exists. The trick is that we need to feel as if it's not happening to us because then it goes from being "it's so cool watching the chessmaster move human pieces" to "wait, why are you manipulating me, you jerk?!"
So communication is key because it adds a buffer layer. You aren't manipulating John; you're manipulating John's character. And you're not even doing that. Your character is manipulating John's character. It slides in like a security blanket, giving the sense to John that he's still in control, that the manipulation is essentially so much window-dressing. (Which is probably a good way to actually manipulate him in the first place... but you're not the sort of unscrupulous individual who would do that to a friend, are you? Good.)
Note that communication does not have to extend all the way along, and some bits can probably be kept in the dark. If you make it clear that your character will be manipulating someone, you often don't need to divulge your character's elaborate plan in detail; knowing what's happening alone will make things come together nicely. So John doesn't know what his character is being roped into, but he does know that he's getting roped into something. He'll figure out the details as they happen.
Get the information
The first step of playing a game is getting your hands on a controller. For video games, that means a mouse and keyboard or an actual game controller or whatever. When the game you're playing involves people, you need something to spur them in the right direction, and that means information. Manipulative characters thrive on knowing a lot about the people they're manipulating.
How you go about getting that information winds up informing a lot about your character. Perhaps you just have spies watching someone. Perhaps you talk to the person directly. Perhaps you rely on surreptitious observation of your own. The point is that your character needs to know what other people want and what they need and have at least a loose idea of what they'll do in order to get these things.
Obviously, talking with someone OOC can help here, rather than actually roleplaying out spy sessions that might be less than productive in the long run. The point is that your character needs to know about the people being manipulated, always. And if you want the manipulations to ultimately fall short, it's also reasonable to build blind spots into your character's knowledge. Perhaps you know full well about how important Sven's daughter is to him and how much Lila wants to get back at Sven... but you don't know that Lila also likes Sven's daughter a lot.
Use the Batman rule
I'm not going to link it here because you all know where TV Tropes is at this point, but the concept of the Batman Gambit is worth understanding. Simply put, the easiest way to manipulate people is to expect them to do whatever they'd normally do. Your task isn't a matter of deceiving them, just providing them with the right pieces of information and letting them go.
Let's go back to Sven and Lila. Lila wants to get back at Sven, so you tell her about Sven's interest in an upcoming tournament. Lila decides to take part to show up Sven, which leads to her getting injured, which in turn forces Lila to step down from a leadership position... which is what you originally wanted anyway. No lying necessary, just gentle nudges followed by people doing what they would have done without you if they had known.
You can even go another layer deeper while being technically honest. Perhaps Sven's interest was just that. He was never going to take part; you just chose your words carefully and made it sound as if he would, leading to Lila's getting herself involved for nothing. When done carefully, the whole thing makes your character look not like a manipulative jerk but a genuinely concerned individual, just passing along valuable information. Oh, you were slightly wrong about one point, but the important thing is that Sven and Lila still both trust you.
That really comes in handy when... well, you get the idea.
Feedback is welcome down below or via mail to email@example.com. Next week, I want to talk about character pets. The week after that, it's time for a big long article that you can show to your non-roleplaying acquaintances.

The chaos and fun of Saints Row is fully intact in the underworld, but a new setting can only go so far.
Dimensions recaptures enough of Geometry Wars' thrills to stand as the best new dual-joystick shooter in quite a while.
The little mushroom man finally gets his name on the marquee, and the result is a charming, unique, and puzzle-heavy adventure.
Game » consists of 3 releases. Released Mar 13, 2006
An airplane is a heavier-than-air craft whose lift is generated by airflow over the wings creating a strong pressure difference. In video games, airplanes are used for travel and as a type of weaponry.
An emplacement gun used to shoot down enemy aircraft.
The cigar is a more classy and a usually bigger counter-part to the cigarette.
Crates sometimes contain things!
A popular weapon that is used in many shooters. The flamethrower is considered one of the most unique ways to defeat a foe.
A source of light started by a chemical reaction.
A grenade is an explosive device traditionally thrown by hand, but may also be propelled by a rifle or launcher.
Considered one of the most frequent and controversial implements of destruction in video games and real life, guns are devices that fire projectiles with explosive force.
A transport vehicle with wheels in the front for steering and treads on the back. This allows for a combination of the off-road abilities of a tank and the handling of a car.
A Jeep is usually a 4x4 vehicle equipped with a mounted machine gun, it is best used as a transport vehicle.
A knife is a commonly seen object in video games. Usually used for close quarters combat, or as a cutting tool.
The M1 Garand is a semi-automatic, .30 caliber rifle issued to infantrymen during World War II.
The M4 Sherman served as the primary tank of the United States', as well as the Western Allies during World War II.

Growing up in Highlands Ranch, I wish I would have known about this group earlier. Highlands Ranch is such a stuffy, uptight place that their biggest concern is where they can bulid a bigger parking lot for the ten new christian churches that are being built. Im glad someone has the balls to get out there and get these peoples heads out of their behinds!
Best Threat to the Tranquility of Highlands Ranch Denver 2007 - The Question Alliance
There's a growing threat to the manicured Pleasantville atmosphere of Highlands Ranch: the Question Alliance. Spearheaded by locals James and Diane Schrack, the Question Alliance is essentially the community-outreach wing of the increasingly loud and proud Highlands Ranch Democrats. These inquisitive activists requisition the corner of University Avenue and Highlands Ranch Parkway roughly one Saturday morning a month and wave carefully coordinated signs, which bear a new question each session: "Should more of our soldiers die in Iraq?" "Has our government forgotten Katrina victims?" "Is the U.S. doing enough to stop the genocide in Darfur, Sudan?" These are not the usual thoughts that occupy Highland Ranchers as they go about their weekend errands, but the Question Alliance isn't going away -- at least not until they get some answers.

One of the more counterintuitive phenomena in the stock markets lately has been the monster rally amid deteriorating earnings growth expectations.
However, this trend may be turning.
According to Citi's Robert Buckland, analysts worldwide–on a net basis–have raised their earnings estimates for the first time in ten months. From Buckland's note to clients:
Positive Global EPS Revisions — Weekly global net analyst EPS revisions finally turned positive after 41 weeks of consecutive downgrades. If this trend is sustained, it will help support stock markets, in our view.
Major regions — Japan has been the strongest region WoW (+34%) followed by Continental Europe (+10%) and the UK (+3%). The US has been the weakest region last week (-13%) after being one of the strongest during the previous week. EM EPS revisions have improved, yet remain negative (-1% vs. -5% previous week).
The "Problem Child" — Earnings revisions for the companies at the epicentre of the current concerns, European Periphery and Continental European Financials, have stabilised. The European Periphery has seen positive revisions over the week (+10%) while ERI for Continental European Financials was at -14%.
If you look very carefully to the very far right, you'll see a tiny bar pointing north of zero.

1.105! Damn, how much DME did you add?
this was supposed to be the Christmas brew, but the family is getting together for Thanksgiving instead. So, I went ahead and bottled it yesterday, one month early. I drew a large sample and put it in the 'fridge, last night did a side by side tasting with one of my favorite Bourbon ales, the Full Sail Top Sail Bourbon Barrel porter. Yes, a bit of a different style, but close. It is not bragging to say that even in its un-carbonated state my Old Ale tasted better than the Top Sail! I liked the added layer the vanilla beans gave it, the bourbon was not overpowering at all, and there was a slight hoppy bitter taste up front. More complex than that from Full Sail. Only problem now - which is a good one - is that I have to come up with a new winter warmer that does not take six months to condition!
____________"I would Rather Have a Keg of Delirium Tremens than a Case of It" Up Next: Imperial Rhubarb Wheat Fermenting: Enjoying: too many odd bottles to list..
zQuick update, just drank a bomber, no carbonation after two weeks, but I get that since this is a high grav beer and I used the minimum amount of priming as per style. Very good but the next time only one vanilla bean, as that flavor is most up front right now. Of course, the flavor profile will no doubt change as it conditions. EDIT: Opps! Only one week! Man, I am impatient !
I dumped it all in and racked the ale on top of it. Most excellent! I am entering this photo - a larger version of it - into an abstract photo contest here in Denver. These are of course the bourbon soaked oak cubes in the bottom of the glass carboy, just before racking. The flash reacted with the glass neck creating the yellow to red ring.
So leaving this one on the bourbon/oak chips for 4-6 months is the way to go? After the long term bulk aging did you guys notice any signs of oxidation? Does the bourbon mellow with age? I took a sample after a week on the bourbon/oak and it was pretty aggressive. I am sure months with cure this...

Sen. Ayotte Calls For "Time Out" On Obamacare
As the Obama Administration scrambles to fix the healthcare.gov website, New Hampshire Republican Senator Kelly Ayotte is weighing in on the issue.
On CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday morning, Senator Ayotte joined numerous Republicans in calling for a delay in implementing Obamacare. The GOP has pushed for delaying or repealing the law since it passed on a party line vote three years ago.
"My constituents are writing me. But how can I help them when it's a situation of their getting cancelation notices because of the way that Obamacare is drafted?" Ayotte said. "When they can't access the website because it's such a mess? So absolutely, I want to help my constituents. But again, I would say to the President, why doesn't he call a time out on this, understanding that it's not working right now?"
She said that time could be used to come up with a bipartisan fix. Meanwhile, Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen has called for a different kind of delay. She's pushing the White House to extend the insurance enrollment deadline in light of website issues.

I have dined here on many occasions, and I have not been disappointed with the food. However, the evening's mood has been set by our service, which ranges from overly-friendly to completely inattentive. I do continue to return, however, based on the wide selection of high quality offerings.

US 5873375 A Abstract A method of applying multi-colored designs to substrates such as fingernails or toenails. A mask/stencil is prepared by cutting a design in a thin flexible plastic sheet held on a backing sheet by a low tack adhesive. Preferably, the mask/stencil is cut in a computer driven plotter using a sharp blade in place of the usual pen. The mask/stencil is removed from the backing sheet and placed on the substrate with openings corresponding to the design. A colorant is applied over the mask/stencil and areas of the substrate exposed through the openings. The mask/stencil is then removed, leaving colored areas corresponding to mask/stencil openings. Additional mask/stencils with different openings corresponding to other portions of the final multi-color design are then applied, coated and removed.
Claims(12) 1. A method of forming predetermined patterns on a substrate selected from the group consisting of fingernails and toenails, which comprises the steps of:
(a) providing a computer driven cutting plotter; (b) providing a thin flexible plastic sheet having a low tack adhesive on one surface with a backing sheet bonded to said one surface; (c) operating said computer driven cutting plotter to cut a predetermined pattern only through said plastic sheet to form a mask/stencil; (d) removing said mask/stencil from said backing sheet with said mask/stencil having openings corresponding to said predetermined mask/stencil pattern; (e) bonding said mask/stencil to said substrate; (f) applying a coat of a colorant to said mask/stencil and said openings; and (g) removing said mask/stencil. 2. The method according to claim 1, further including repeating steps (e)-(g) with at least one additional mask/stencil, each additional mask/stencil having a different pattern.
3. The method according to claim 1, further including the steps of applying a uniform base coat to said substrate prior to initially bonding a mask/stencil thereto.
4. The method according to claim 1, further including the step of coating said substrate with a clear top coat after removal of said mask/stencil.
5. The method according to claim 1, wherein at least some colorants and coatings are applied by brushing with a bristle or foam brush.
6. The method according to claim 1, wherein at least some colorants and coatings are applied by air brushing.
7. The method according to claim 1, further including repeating steps (d)-(g) with at least one different mask/stencil formed in accordance with steps (a)-(c).
8. A method of applying multiple colored designs to substrates which comprises the steps of:
(a) preparing a first mask/stencil by operating a cutting plotter to cut a predetermined design in a thin flexible plastic sheet held on a backing sheet by a low tack adhesive, said cut extending through said thin flexible plastic sheet and not through said backing sheet; (b) removing said mask/stencil from said backing sheet so that said mask/stencil has at least some open areas corresponding to said predetermined design; (c) bonding said mask/stencil to a surface by said adhesive (d) applying a colorant to said first mask/stencil and said open areas; (e) removing said mask/stencil leaving said predetermined design in said colorant; (f) repeating steps (a)-(e) at least one additional time using a different predetermined design with each repeat of said steps. 9. The method according to claim 8, further including the steps of applying a uniform base coat to said substrate prior to initially bonding a mask/stencil thereto.
10. The method according to claim 8, further including the step of coating said substrate with a clear top coat after removal of said mask/stencil.
11. The method according to claim 8, wherein at least some colorants and coatings are applied by brushing with a bristle or foam brush.
12. The method according to claim 8, wherein at least some colorants and coatings are applied by air brushing.
Description This invention relates to of forming a mask/stencil and using the masks to form widely varied multi-colored decorative patterns on substrates such as natural or synthetic fingernails and toenails. A wide variety of substrates are coated with single color or multicolor patterns for personal adornment and the like. Nail polish is often applied to fingernails and/or toenails, both natural nails and artificial nails, generally formed from acrylics and adhesively bonded over natural nails. Generally, a single color is applied to the entire nail, with perhaps a base coat under the polish and a clear or other coat over the polish for varied optical effects. Sometimes, a pattern of different colored polish is applied or sequins, glitter, etc. are added to the still wet polish. Forming small, sharply patterned areas on the nails is quite difficult. Free hand painting of designs requires considerable skill and is difficult on small areas such as fingernails. Masking tape and the like can be used to mask off part of the nail, although only straight edged, large, patterns can be accomplished. Attempts have been made to silk screen patterns onto fingernails, as is described by Jenkins in U.S. Pat. No. 5,316,026. This method uses fairly expensive screens and generally has difficulty following the contour of a fingernail. This method appears to be only capable of printing a design on a central area of the fingernail using only one color per screen. Stencils have been cut from relatively thick plastic in broad patterns, as described by O'Donnell in U.S. Pat. No. 2,031,225 and Rucker in U.S. Pat. No. 4,960,587. However, the stencils described in these patents are primarily intended for preventing polish from overlapping onto the moon of the nail or the finger adjacent skin, and are not described as suitable for the formation of areas having sharp, small patterns in plural colors. Thus, there is a continuing need for improvements in methods of decorating substrates such as fingernail, toenails and the like, that will provide sharp edge, small patterns of different colors and that can be used to apply a number of patterns in different colors. A thin plastic mask/stencil is manufactured in a unique manner and bonded to the fingernail or other substrate and the colorant, which may be conventional fingernail polish applied with a bristle brush, other coating materials applied with an airbrush, etc. Multiple mask/stencils may be used in seriatim to apply different coatings and colors to achieve highly decorative patterns. A mask/stencil suitable for use in this decorating method is made from a thin, flexible plastic sheet, having a coating of low tack adhesive on one side. The plastic sheet is releasably mounted on a backing sheet forming a sandwich. A conventional computer plotter is set up with a sharp blade in place of the usual pen. The sandwich is positioned in the plotter with the backing sheet on the plotter table. The plotter is programmed in a conventional manner to move the blade across the sandwich, cutting through the plastic sheet and very slightly into the backing sheet. Any desired pattern can be produced, including very fine, exact and small patterns. Both a positive and a negative patterns are produced (i.e.,a pattern of small circles can be cut, the circles with the background removed being a positive pattern and the sheet with the circles removed being a negative pattern). The sandwich is removed from the plotter and is ready for use. For the purposes of this application "mask stencil" means any thin sheet having any selected pattern cut through the sheet in a manner allowing portions to be easily removed for use and negtive or positive stencils or masks. When a desired pattern of shapes and colors is selected, the appropriate mask/stencils are gathered. Generally, a base or background color is applied. Then, the backing sheet and unneeded portions of the pattern are removed. The mask/stencil is lightly pressed against the fingernail or other substrate to be decorated. The mask/stencil adheres tightly to the surface, so that no coating material can seep under an edge. The first color is then applied, typically by brushing with a bristle brush, foam brush or air brushing. The first mask/stencil is removed, and a second mask/stencil bearing other components of the design is positioned on the fingernail. A second color is then applied and the mask/stencil is removed. As many additional mask/stencils as desired may be used to build up a complex, multi-colored pattern. Also, different colors could be applied using the same mask/stencil. When the pattern is complete, preferably a protective clear overcoating is then applied. Since the preferred colorants are fast drying, several different application steps can be accomplished in a relatively short time. Very small features will be sharply and accurately detailed, with no overrun between areas. Details of the invention, and of preferred embodiments thereof, will be further understood upon reference to the drawing, wherein: FIG. 1 is a flow diagram of the entire method of this invention; FIG. 2 is a plan view of a fingernail with a mask/stencil in place; and FIG. 3 is a plan view of a typical finished fingernail. Referring to FIG. 1 there is seen a flow diagram outlining the entire process of preparing mask/stencils and applying patterns to substrates such as fingernails, toenails, etc. As indicated in Block 10, the pattern to be used must first be designed. An almost infinite variety of designs may be used. Each can use as many different colors and area shapes as desired. A design may include a single color component, or may use a number of components. For example, a design of eyes might use an outline, the eye background, pupils, eyebrows, etc. A design for Independence Day might use plural mask/stencils to provide a red, white and blue striped background, with an exploding firecracker superimposed thereover. Typically, a substrate (hereinafter referred to as a fingernail for convenience in describing a preferred embodiment) is initially coated with a base coat to improve adhesion both to the fingernail and to subsequent color coats and to provide a depth effect where later coats are translucent. Typical base coats include Crystal white base coat and flat white base coats. Next, a conventional computer driven plotter is programmed as indicated in Block 12 to trace each selected pattern component. While any suitable plotter may be used, a flat bed plotter of the sort sold by the Roland Digital Group under the PNC 1210 designation is preferred. In place of the conventional tracing pen, a thin, sharp, pointed blade is installed. A mask/stencil assembly is provided as indicated in Block 14. A thin plastic sheet is bonded by a low tack adhesive to a backing sheet. Any suitable plastic sheet may be used. The sheet should be soft and flexible to bond to a curved substrate if such as a fingernail. A typical low tack adhesive is that used on the well known Post-it� notes. The backing sheet can be any material to which the plastic sheet will releasably adhere. Conventional coated paper is preferred. The mask/stencil assembly is placed in the plotter and the plotter is activated as indicated in Block 16 to cut through the plastic sheet and, at most, very slightly into the backing sheet. The plotter is capable of producing a very exact, sharp-edged cut. The desired portions of the mask/stencil are then removed from the backing sheet, as indicated in Block 18. Either a positive or negative reproduction of the mask/stencil design can be made, as desired. For example, if the design is a series of small star shapes across the backing, either the stars can be removed and pressed onto the fingernail or the mask/stencil background can be removed and placed on the fingernail, leaving the stars on the backing sheet. Once the positive or negative mask/stencil is selected and placed on the fingernail, a selected colorant is applied thereover. Any suitable coloring agent, such as conventional fingernail polish, air brush colors or paint may be applied. The colorant may be applied in any suitable manner, such as with a conventional bristle or foam brush, by air brushing, etc. With the star mask/stencil mentioned above is used and the stars are removed from the mask/stencil assembly backing assembly and pressed onto a fingernail, when a colorant is applied over the fingernail and star mask/stencil a pattern of stars in the base coat color appears on a field of the added colorant. Conversely, the background mask/stencil may be removed from the mask/stencil assembly, leaving the stars themselves on the backing sheet with the background sheet applied to the fingernail. Upon coating the fingernail and mask/stencil and removing the mask/stencil, a pattern of stars in the added colorant appears against a base coat background. Thus, each mask/stencil can be used in either manner as desired. Upon completion of the coating, the mask/stencil portion on the fingernail is removed as indicated in block 24. If desired, the fingernail decoration could be considered complete at this time. Preferably, the fingernail is coated with a clear top coat to protect the decorative layer(s). Any suitable top coat may be used. Typical top coats include conventional long last sealers, nail art sealers and nail polish topcoats. Any suitable material maybe included in a top coat or added to a wet top coat, such as glitter or foils. For the maximum decorative effect, in which different parts of an image are to be in different colors or to provide a multicolored picture or the like as indicated in Block 26, the steps of Blocks 20-24 may be repeated as many times as desired. FIG. 2 illustrates the first color application step in a multi-component image. A finger 28 having a natural fingernail 30 is illustrated. Any other suitable substrate, such as a toenail, artificial fingernail, etc. could be used. Fingernail 30 has preferably been coated with a suitable base coat. With the "eyes" design illustrated, the backing could be a dark blue, gray, black, etc. A mask/stencil 32 having a pattern of two eyes 34 cut out is chosen. When mask/stencil 32 is removed from a backing sheet (not shown), the eye portions are left on the backing sheet. The mask/stencil and uncovered fingernail portions are coated with a suitable colorant, such as a conventional fingernail polish, typically in a white or light yellow color. Additional mask/stencils 32 may then be used to add further features to the decorative design. FIG. 3 illustrates the fingernail 30 of FIG. 2 after additional mask/stencils have been used to apply pupils 36 and eyebrows 38 to the design. Once the design is complete and the final mask/stencil is removed, preferably a clear top coat is applied to protect the design. While application to fingernials and the like is the primary intended use of this system, other suitable substrates may be used. Colorants may be applied using any suitable method, such as by using a paint brush, nail polish brush, foam brush, air brush, sponge, etc. While certain specific relationships, materials and other parameters have been detailed in the above description of preferred embodiments, those can be varied, where suitable, with similar results. Other applications, variation and ramifications of the present invention will occur to those skilled in the art upon reading the present disclosure. Those are intended to be included within the scope of this invention as defined in the appended claims. Patent Citations

Sean "Diddy" Combs is facing a bit of backlash after Howard University announced this week that the rapper will speak at their upcoming commencement ceremony and will also receive an honorary doctorate degree.
Some Howard University student are upset over the honor because Diddy dropped out of the Washington, D.C.-area college back in 1990 to pursue his music career.
"Can someone explain why Diddy, a person who never graduated from Howard, is speaking at graduation?" on Twitter user shared. Another wrote, "diddy is gonna make the commencement speech at Howard but what is he gonna say. 'Well I dropped outta here & got rich but good luck.'"
PICS: Stars' offensive moments
Despite some online critics, Diddy took to Instagram to gush over the big honor.
"For one of the first times in my life I am truly speechless," the 44-year-old star wrote. "There are no words to describe the feeling I had when I heard the news that @HowardU was presenting me with an Honorary Doctorate degree and inviting me to give the keynote commencement address on May 10th. @howardU I'm coming home! Thank you to @WFrederickMD, the Howard University Board of Trustees and all of the students of Howard University #TurnUp #Bison4Life."
Diddy will speak at the 2014 Howard Commencement alongside Wolf Blitzer, transplant surgeon Clive Callender, Jazz Composer Benny Golson and PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi.

"Finally, a fried rice recipe that turns out right - this is the one I've been looking for!I made it with chopped cooked chicken breasts, instead of the ham, and added about 1/2 cup of chopped onions and 1/2 clove of minced garlic, stir fried before adding the eggs, peas and chicken. This is a wonderful recipe - thanks for posting."
"This was wonderful. My 11 year old claims it was the best cake I've ever made! I thought the icing was a bit much, but I'm not a big sweets fan - the rest of the family raved. I followed the directions exactly as written."
"I made this last night - it turned out great and was well accepted by the family. It's a keeper. I used boiled chicken breasts instead of canned, and a 4 cup package of Mexican shredded cheese (which was a mixture of Monterey Jack and Cheddar) because that's what I had. Next time I will try the Colby. I also did not soften the torillas in oil - ..."

Napoli by Herman Bellstedt. Arranged by Frank Simon. For cornet (or trumpet) and piano. Brass Solos & Ensembles - Trumpet And Piano/Organ. Variations on Luigi Denza's 'Funiculi Funicula'. Grade 5. Set of performance parts. 16 pages. Published by Southern Music Company (SO.SS310).
The italian songwriter Luigi Denza (1846-1922) was a prolific composer of songs, of which about 600 survive. 'Funiculi Funicula,' his most popular song, was composed in 1880 to commemorate the opening of a funicular railway. The success of this song was so great (sales of over half a million copies of the sheet music), that the melody was soon heard everywhere, giving rise to the impression that the tune was of ancient origin. When the German composer Richard Strauss quoted the melody in his symphonic poem 'Aus Italien' (From Italy) under the title "Neapolitanisches Volkslied" (Neapolitan Folksong), the publishers were soon threatened with legal action for the violation of copywright. It is not know when the great cornet virtuoso Herman Bellstedt (1858-1926) first conceived the idea of a set of theme and variations on the well-known tune for cornet and band, but it is perhaps his most popular composition. The parts were bequeather to Bellstedt's student (and successor as soloist with Sousa's Band) Frank Simon (1889-1967), and it is Simon's edition of the solo, know under the title 'Napoli,' which is still heard on concert programs today.

Band Music. Grade 3. Score only. Duration 4:00. Published by C. Alan Publications (CN.S11096).
One of John Philip Sousa's most popular marches, the piece has perhaps achieved its most recent fame as the signature tune for the 'Monty Python' TV series. However, the march remains a fine piece in its own right and Stuart Johnson's adaptation puts it into an easy key and is very fully scored. Sure to be effective in any concert.

More Hoppiness from Pretty Things
Over the years we've made a little name for ourselves in the Boston-area for making malty, traditional and historic beers. Lately we've added a few hoppy beers: Meadowlark IPA, a… read more.
Welcome to Pretty Things Beer & Ale Project. Pretty Things is an idea, not a brewery. We'd like a brewery, but they cost too much. We are a three-person company based in Somerville Massachusetts. Twice a week (or so), we brew our beers at Buzzards Bay Brewery in Westport, MA. We bring you beers that are truly of our own making: the recipes, brewing and labels are all done by Dann and Martha. We think that's why Pretty Things is magical.
The other reason is because of Jack D'Or. Jack is the mournful grain of barley you can see to the left. He is the soul of beer, nature's magician, creating sugar from starch and bringing together the Pretty Things. One of the most joyful transformations in nature, better than any rabbit from a hat, beer is the result.
Take a look below for news and updates. We also brew historical beers: visit old beers.com for info on those. Cheers from us to you!

You play Scarface when a microphone's in the room
But you more like Pacino in Dog Day Afternoon
from Immortal Technique (Ft. Poison Pen & Swave Sevah) – Stronghold Grip Lyrics on Genius
Al Pacino played the leading role in both Scarface and Dog Day Afternoon. He played a ruthless drug kingpin in Scarface as opposed to a desperate man who robs a bank to pay for his wife's gender reassignment surgery in Dog Day Afternoon.
A clever way of calling someone a studio gangster who acts hardcore to maintain their image but in reality, their manhood is questionable at best.

Medical schools have various levels of selectivity (some are harder to get into than others), and both the quality of their clinical training and level of research are measured.
