Course Description
Our plan is to read, talk about, and write about comic playsboth from ancient Greece and Rome and from various modern nations. Our emphasis will be three-fold: 1. What is the nature of dramatic comedy? How does it differ from and relate to more serious theatrical forms, such as tragedy and melodrama? What is it that makes plays funny? 2. How has dramatic comedy developed over time? What are the different types of dramatic comedy, and how do they differ from one another? How have modern comic playwrights responded to the traditions begun by their ancient predecessors? 3. How does comedy relate to society? Do comic plays reinforce or challenge the preconceptions of their audiences? How have comic playwrights responded to issues such as class, gender, religion, and politics? What happens when plays written for one society are adapted for another? The course will conducted as a seminar: early in the semester, each student will choose an element of comedy he or she finds especially interesting. Students will use these specialties to write papers and contribute to class discussion throughout the semester.
About the Professor Tim Moore holds degrees from Millersville University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He has published books on the Roman authors Livy and Plautus, and a translation of one of Terence's plays. He enjoys bicycling, hiking, and swimming. His three greatest loves, however, are dramatic comedy, vocal music, and things Roman. He has had the incredible good fortune to be able to combine these passions in his current research project, a book on the role of music in ancient Roman comic theater.
Grading Policy
This course contains a substantial writing component. Grading will be based on two short writing assignments (1 page and 5-7 pages), a research paper (20-25 pages), and class participation (including contributions to class discussion, presentations, reports to be assigned as the class progresses, andif deemed necessaryannounced and unannounced quizzes): 1-page paper: 5% 5-7 page paper: 10% Draft of research paper: 25% Final version of research paper: 35% Class participation: 25%

Winter Toubkal 19 Feb 2010
Anyone else going on this trip?
Great to hear from someone else on the trip. I'm going with my brother Geoff. We've done a bit of hiking in the past but I think this is going to be a totally new experience. Did you get a chance to try walking in crampons in Wales? I've hiring crampons so I'm relying on them being delivered to the hotel we're staying at which I'm hoping will be fine but I'd be happier if I had them in my hands before I left!
We did much easier hike in the Atlas mountains a couple of years ago and I did the Inca Trail so I've experinced that sort of altitude at least but the snow, ice and temperature make it much more challenging I think. How about you two? Any experience of this sort of thing?
Wow, it sounds like you guys are much more experienced than us. This should be a breeze for you two!
Can't wait to find out who the 3rd couple are now.
We're on the AT801 flight out of Heathrow at 17:10, maybe we could meet up if we're on the same flight?
Hi Ben
Just joined the members forum.
I will be on the Toubkal trip 19/2 together with my partner, Andy.
We went up to North Wales last weekend for a bit of practise. It was suitably snowy !
Really looking forward to this trip.
Done anything like this before?
Hi Ben
Andy and I did get some crampon practise in at Wales. Its only the third time I've used them but they give you a great feeling of security !! Andy and I have both done Kilimanjaro at seperate times. Apart from that I only have experience of Ben Nevis, Snowdon, Scafell and the likes. Andy, on the other hand has climbed the Matterhorn, the Eiger, the Monch and a Himalayan peak. We are both doing Toubkal as a run up to Aconcagua next Jan.
I've found out that there are six of us in total on this trek so we should make a good team.
I'm sure we are on the same flight so meeting up would be great. We will be easy to spot; mid-forties, holding hands and grinning like Cheshire cats!

FEMA Has Met Most Requirements for Awarding Fire Grants, but...
A GOA report (Highlights) can be found at http://firehouse.com/GAOgrantreview.pdf
The full report can be found at http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d1064.pdf
The report shows that the FEMA has done a good job of awarding AFG grants, but like any agency improvements can be made.
3 recommendations:
1) Establish a tracking procedure for EMS awards.
2) Ensure grant priorites are aligned with application questions & scoring values.
3) Provide specifc feedback to rejected applicants.

I read the Firehouse.com article not the more in depth one Andy supplied. Now did I misunderstand or did the applicants getting DJ's say that FEMA's explanation for the DJ wasn't helpful enough?
I can't speak for everyone but mine was quite vague... I have been asking for a replacement of a 1977 tanker (water tender) for the past 3 years. Last year's letter says (to paraphrase)
vehicle safety factor (apparently my vehicle wasn't unsafe enough because I did state we would have it permanently removed from service.)
vehicle call volume (the bigger and / or higher volume departments come first)
marginal value derived from an additional vehicle of a given type (since I'm rural, I have to carry the water I need for firefighting)
My demographics at a glance: 20 square miles of fire district and protection district covering approximately 2500 residents, no industry, commercial tax base, and a $70,000.00 annual operating budget (homeowners pick up the whole shebang). We have a 2002 1250 gpm pumper with 1,000 water, a 1978 1000 gpm pumper with 1,000 water, a 1980 medium rescue (no pump or tank) and the 1977 tanker with 1,500 water. The pump on the tanker is a aircraft fuel transfer pump (not rated for fire service) We averaged 36 calls per year (last year we had a nasty ice storm that almost doubled us - 68 calls) and thankfully not many were actual fire type calls because one pumper sets up at the pond, one pumper attacks the fire and the tanker (may) just work today - effectively 1,000 gallons of water for fire suppression until the tanker runs...
The letter was very informative on quoting the program guidance sections where they deemed me to be lacking in. Didn't really explain HOW I was lacking or how I could improve my chances... Not a lot of help in my case - I was more confused after reading it...

Of all of the DJ's the last type "You scored well, but not high enough to be funded; if funds become available there is a chance to be funded in supplemental rounds" as the most fustrating. This DJ I believe should provide a ranking to the applicants to make an informed decision on whether to apply for the same project again or do a new one.
There have been too many projects reapplied for that were ultimately funded in a supplemental round....meaning the department lost a year.
If ranked #1 you know that it's extremely likely to be funded (no guarantee)based on previous years and can submit a new project. Ranked 500 not likely to be funded revamp the current project.
Even more frustrating is the computer DJ. You have no idea what caused the computer to kick your app. Was it call volume or did you ask for too high a $$ amount & throw the cost benefit ratio out of whack ?
From past experience it seem that our demographics and call volume supports asking for a certain dollar amount threshold. We have 3 AFG' ops & equipment grants that have all been in the same $$ range and been approved. The years where we asked for higher amounts were comp dj.
Last year we were in the "scored high enough but just out of the money group in the initial Safer rounds , only to get funded this summer after almost giving up hope on a R+R app.

Computer DJs are easier to see, it's simply a matter of others had higher numbers during this application period. On medic's the existence of the 2002 pumper and 36 calls a year makes anyone over 40 runs a year score higher under identical statistics in all other categories.
If they had a scantron type sheet for feedback from reviewers that might not slow down the process much and give a little hint as to their thoughts. Something like a range of 1 to 10 on each section with a "convinced/not convinced" rating at each end to indicate whether or not they bought the story in that portion of the narrative. Or a "not addressed" part. Something to indicate how well that section was bulletproofed (or not) in the argument.
The tough part with feedback is that it depends on the reader, and also depends on the year. Since half the apps change at minimum every year the players in the game are all different. Feedback would vary by year. Hence the reason we have some that get the "excess fund" DJs one year and then kicked out first the next. It's hard to truly be consistent with humans in the middle of a semi-automated system.
Weren't the Grants originally supposed to be for helping Departments with their "needs"? When did it turn in to asking for a project that has the best chance of winning?
"This thread is being closed as it is off-topic and not related to the fire industry." - Isn't that what the Off Duty forum was for?

Not sure I understand the question since it sounds like you don't think that's what people are doing. The idea is ask for the need that most closely matches the priorities, aka ask for the one that has the best chance of being funded out of the list of needs that are eligible to apply for. So while everyone needs PPE, SCBA, a solid pumper, pick the one with the greatest chance of being funded. Doesn't mean the ones not picked aren't needs.

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
Dane Howard: Next, let's talk about inside of the house itself, living spaces. I have asked Mary to walk with us and talk to us about what she's seeing. Mary Pope-Handy: Okay. So I am looking at the living room and it's early in the morning. So, the lighting is not too strong in this room right now. So, it could be improved if the lighting were a little bit brighter. The room shows a little dark, because the colors are muted and there is only one window, one small window in the direction of the sun. As I look at the room, there is not very much I would change for actually photographing it. There are a couple of little distractions that I would remove.
I see a white coaster, which against the dark brown background kind of jumps out. So, I would hide that. I see a few cords for computers or electronic devices near the couch and on the desk. The mouse, I would probably remove those, and aside from fluffing the pillows, that's probably all I would do for this room. Mary gives us some great tips here. You can see already I have some actionable items to start to attack here. She's starting to see some things that may distract. Now when you stage any particular room, you can see that the lighting is very important.
Now in some cases, I can remember thinking, "Should the flash be on or should the flash be off?" Now again, you want to think about the natural light of what this room really is telling us right here, and if I move one step to the right, what I see as well. Now as you start to have the juxtaposition of these different types of images, think about what's going on right here with the light and I see a lot of great detail, compared to this one where it seems pretty dark. So, I really like the advice that she's giving us. Now let's think about this particular shot.
Look at how natural light is used. I'm standing right on the step, and I am looking through the foyer into the living room. This is a really nice shot that helps give an understanding of how this particular opening of this site is looking, and what is happening here in this home. If I take just three or four steps forward, I get a shot like this. What a great, inviting way to think about the living room. Now let's go over into the dining room itself and look back the other way. Look at how beautiful the light coming in to this living room begins to play out.
This is starting to be a really nice shot that we can work with. Now that we are standing in the dining room, let's talk a little bit about dining room shots themselves. I have asked Mary to walk us through some of the things she thinks about when photographing dining rooms. Mary Pope-Handy: Dining rooms are often kind of a clutter magnet, because people tend to take all of their nicest finery and put it in the hutch if there is one. So one of the first dangers about photographing a dining room I'd want to alert you to is if the hutch is going to show, make sure it's not overstuffed.
That's probably the one most normal problem that I see in dining room photography. The other thing is if your home is for sale and you want to take a picture of the dining room, you want to make sure it's just as uncluttered as can be, so the focus is really the space around the table. You want to show that there is room to entertain and have your family and friends in without feeling like they are going to bump into an awful lot of extra stuff. So if you're selling your home, make sure there's plenty of walk-around room so that the people looking at the home can really picture themselves there.
Now, when you take pictures of the dining room, another thing to worry about is extra clutter on surfaces other than the table. So my suggestion, generally, would be if you do have a low hutch, get it down to one or two items and if you have any other furniture in the room and in this case, there is a piano, I'd probably suggest for moving everything except one item, just so that you don't end up with people saying, "Oh, what's that on "that piece of furniture," because viewers of pictures are very, very easily distracted.
Lighting, of course, is extremely important. Always allow yourself the opportunity to come back at various times of the day rather than say it has to be done this one time, under these lighting circumstances. So if you can allow yourself, the permission to come back at various times with different kind of lighting conditions, that's a good idea. Dane Howard: Mary has got some great tips in photographing dining rooms. Now let's look at this last shot here and how all this is starting to come together. As we pull back from that original shot, you can see that we're looking from the dining room into the living room. The natural light is playing to our advantage, and we start to see all these things coming together.
I have some nice room between the chair and the back. I've removed a lot of the clutter and the light seems to be pouring in really beautifully. This is the type of shot that Mary was actually speaking about. Now, keep this in mind when shooting interiors on some of the most sought-after images themselves, the ones that really bring you in to sell your home.

Hey I'm kinda a lurker month to month since we have been TTC baby 2 for nearly 2 years now. However I had my first period since aug 2010 (that was not provera induced) this week and I'm so excited. Not counting on ovulating but one step closer.
Hello everyone!!
This is our first cycle of TTC. I started AF this morning. If it happens for us this cycle I would be due the middle of July. I have not been on BC but practicing the good old "Pull and pray" method since DS was born. I have been OPKing for since marchish so I have a good idea as to what is going on. DS doesn't sleep through the night yet other wise I would love to be temping. I hope it happens for all of this month!! Good luck to everyone *baby dust*
I might be here to... hoping to stick with June but I am not having good vibes... so I may end up here.
Happy birthday! Your BF'ing pic makes me so excited to BF again. Sounds weird to some but I LOVE BF'ing.
Get back to June, Patience!!!
Well, today is CD1. I'm way more at peace with it than I would've been like 4 days ago. Crazy hormones. I am going to be trying some different things this month. Soy Isoflavones and Royal Jelly and maybe others. Not sure yet. If I O my "normal" time, it'll be an EDD in the center of July somewhere.
I have company for the next couple weeks so I hope it will make the waiting to O part go by quickly.
TTC #3, cycle 17

As you know from a prior post I did, L'Oreal Infalliable Eye Shadow is available in six new shades. Drugstores displays are popping up now with the shades as well as a new gel liner entitled Lacquer Liner.
I picked up a few of the new shades even though I have a little bit of a love/hate relationship with these eye shadows but who could resist some of these gorgeous colors?
Take a look!

I'm trying to find out which one to buy next. I absolutely love Goldeneye and my family and I still play it and it's almost 8 years old. The multi-player mode and missions are just awesome and can easily beat any XBox 360 or Playstation FPS games. I've gotten pretty bad reviews from the rest of the other games, so if you have any other FPS games other than the OO7, then please tell me! :lol: I bought From Russia With Love from Best Buy (for $50.00) and it sucked, so I tried to return it and they wouldn't let me. :mad: I don't want to waste anymore money.

Morning Song Farm
Christmas Each Week
By: Jackie S. (Aug 10, 2011)
Receiving my "veg box" (as we call it here in our home) each week is like Christmas every Tuesday. There's a box, full of goodies, just waiting to be opened! You never know what's inside . . . beloved favorites like cantelope, tomatoes, leeks, dill, swiss chard - or new friends like dragon beans (the best!), kohlrabi, winter squash, or asian pears. I often bypass the trade-in basket (there if there's something you want more of, less of, etc.) simply to savor the box opening process at home. Morning Song Farm's produce is absolutely top notch - fresh with an amazing variety of goodness. Farmer Donna is a pleasure to work with . . . you couldn't ask anything more from a farmer or a farm.

Friedrich Durrenmatt's "The Visit" is about evil. Since the very concept is so out of fashion, it's not surprising that Edwin Sherin's production is merely a tepid caricature of the play.
Like Ionesco's "Rhinoceros," "The Visit" is an attempt to understand, in explicitly theatrical terms, what overtook Europe in World War II. Both plays were written in the mid-'50s, when people were coming to see that the Nazis had gone beyond the traditional brutalities of war.
The systemic extermination of various parts of their own civilian population and those of the countries they conquered - often with the wholehearted cooperation of the vanquished - represented a new, unfathomable horror.
In Ionesco, the citizens of a small town become raging beasts. Durrenmatt's image is less subtle. His burghers become accomplices in the murder of a fellow citizen for no more complicated reason than the promise of money.
Taken on its own terms, "The Visit" is second-rate Brecht. The original production, directed by Peter Brook and starring the Lunts, gave the play a profoundly unsettling human reality. In the person of Lynn Fontanne, evil became alluring, enchanting, irresistible. The transformation of Alfred Lunt from a scamp into a sacrificial lamb was viscerally horrifying. Virtually nothing about Sherin's production is human, and so we can watch it placidly, knowing its allegory about how seductive evil can be has nothing to do with us.
Jane Alexander plays Claire Zachanassian, the woman who left the little town of Gullen at 17, disgraced and seven months pregnant. She returns 38 years later as the wealthiest woman in the world, prepared to offer Gullen 1 billion marks for the murder of the man who ruined her.
Alexander makes her understandably, but unrelievedly, hard. Even her gait has an abrasive rhythm. She alternates each determined step of her right foot with a painful swoosh as she drags her mangled left foot.
Her voice is low and throaty, her speech clipped, sometimes an imperious bark, as if she were speaking in the original German. For Alexander, the role is a huge stretch from the cool, ladylike characters she often plays, but some of the assured femininity she normally brings to the stage might have given Claire some disquieting appeal.
Apart from Alexander, the only actor allowed to use his own face is Harris Yulin, who plays her prey. All the others wear masks from the nostrils up, which allows them to play several roles. It allows men to play women and vice versa, further reducing the play to a cartoon. (The best use of the masks is in the curtain call, when a spotlight hits the table where the actors have discarded them.)
By contrast to these ciphers, Yulin, not the most interesting actor around, suddenly takes on an unexpected humanity. He plays Claire's seducer in a low-key, dignified way. He is not helped by Sherin's weak staging of several crucial scenes.
Kelly Walters and Gordon Joseph Weiss have an eerie, fleshy weightlessness as the two men Claire has had castrated and blinded for helping her seducer. Timothy Britten Parker is elegant as Claire's latest airhead husband, and Tom Tammi is convincingly troubled as the only man in Gullen who questions what is happening.
Ultimately, this "Visit" is dissatisfying because it totally lacks suspense. Not for a second do you doubt that evil will triumph, even if she is dressed as garishly as Alexander. Evil may be banal in the real world. It need not be so transparent in theater.
"How unpleasant to meet Mr. Eliot," the great poet once wrote of himself, and we can echo it, with much the same irony, while still warmly welcoming last night's staging of Friedrich Duerrenmatt's "The Visit" at the Roundabout Theater. "The Visit" is indeed an unpleasant play to meet on a dark night, or any other night - unpleasant but, for good or ill, unforgettable.
Duerrenmatt called his play "a satiric parable," and it presents a savage picture of communal greed and personal revenge - the unflinching dramatics of Greek tragedy placed in a cozy hometown setting. The background is all gemutlichly Swiss, but there is prussic acid in the chocolate creams, and the cuckoo-clocks explode on time.
The story is extraordinary. It starts slowly, like a comedy clearing its throat for laughter. In the shabby railway station of a strangely impoverished town in Switzerland, humbled city worthies are waiting nervously. A fabulously rich woman (Jane Alexander) is expected, a native daughter returning in triumph after a 38-year exile.
She is Claire Zachanassian - who left the town in disgrace, pregnant and labeled a whore - and has classically made good via the bedrooms and boardrooms of the world, which she now, rich beyond the dreams of Croesus, effectively owns.
Naturally, she arrives in style, if early. Turning an express into a local by simply pulling the alarm cord - she hands the outraged guard 4,000 marks for the inconvenience - she brings with her an entourage, including a new husband-to-be, and such knick-knacks as a throne-like sedan-chair, complete with brawny attendants, a caged black panther and an ornate but empty coffin. The coffin is not for her.
The town is out for money - it is convinced that she will munificently subsidize her now impoverished birthplace and restore its sometime prosperity. And she will. Claire Zachanassian will give the town 1 billion marks.
But she puts a price on her generosity. Like an aged and bitter Salome she wants a head on her platter - that of one Anton Schill (Harris Yulin), her former lover, who all those years ago betrayed her, maligned her in court and arranged her banishment, thus clearing the way for his marriage to a rich shopkeeper's daughter.
At first it seems like a sick joke destined to end in musical-comedy jollity. A civic rub-out for hard cash? People don't do that kind of thing. Not even in plays. But Claire does. She believes that "the highest justice has no pity." And she wants justice.
She gets it. Even Anton becomes a transfixed co-conspirator in his own doom, as the first shocked but still gold-hungry Town Council, after much misgiving, sanctimoniously but inexorably resolves to kill him, "not out of love for worldly gain but out of love for the right to purify the town guilt, to reaffirm our faith in the eternal power of justice."
She leaves town with Anton in his coffin - he was the one man she truly loved, and now she has him, in her fashion, forever.
A weird play, then, but perhaps simpler than it sounds. Duerrenmatt once suggested: "Claire is neither Justice nor Apocalypse, nor the Marshall Plan. Money has enabled her to act like the heroine in a Greek tragedy. Just play the foreground and the background will take care of itself."
This is basically what the present Roundabout staging by Edwin Sherin has done. Only the two leading characters - Alexander and Yulin - are spotlit in a German Expressionist-style production that puts all the other characters in grotesque masks.
It is totally different from the two earlier productions seen on Broadway; Peter Brook's original staging of this same adaptation by Maurice Valency, starring Alfred Lunt and Lynne Fontanne, which I saw in London, and Harold Prince's later version with Rachel Roberts and John McMartin - although Alexander is rather more like the robustly vulgar Roberts than the genteely snakelike Fontanne.
Alexander, with her hair piled up in a red wig, her red rouged cheeks glistening with cheap menace, and with a limp that would have done Richard III proud (Fontanne, unlike Roberts, refused to accept that the crippled Claire was one-legged, a refusal somewhat sweetening her more subtle interpretation), plays an enraged Medea of a woman with glittering zest. This is an altogether remarkable performance that leaves the admirable Yulin - in a role that tested Alfred Lunt himself - tossed and shaking, though never quite capsized, in her formidable wake.
Duerrenmatt's parable always adds up to an unsettling experience - but here with the shrewd design team of Thomas Lynch (sets), Frank Krenz (costumes), Michael Curry (masks), Douglas J. Cuomo (music) and Roger Morgan (lighting) added to Sherin's slow-build climax and Alexander's imperial gesture, it unsettles to good purpose. An evening to remember that you might want to forget.
No one need go to the theater to learn that people will do anything for money. So why does "The Visit," Friedrich Durrenmatt's drama about a town that sells its soul for a fortune, still exert a chilling grip nearly 35 years after it shook up genteel Eisenhower-era audiences who had been drawn to it by the star power of Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne?
The answers are there to be found in the Roundabout Theater Company's revival at the Criterion Center. As directed by Edwin Sherin without benefit of star power but with lots of intelligence and a fiercely conceived lead performance by Jane Alexander, "The Visit" stands revealed as a small masterpiece of misanthropy, a play whose cynicism is so thickly layered that the greed driving the plot at its surface seems almost the least of its characters' sins. For Durrenmatt, people, not money, are the root of all evil.
Better still, the playwright's sense of theater is as nasty as his view of humanity. "The Visit" is not a soul-searching morality play in the earnest manner of a contemporaneous American work like "The Crucible," but a grotesque fable whose icy laughter and bizarre fantastical sideshows (a pair of blind, guitar-strumming eunuchs, for instance) reflect its Swiss author's proximity to both the Holocaust and the accompanying absurdist revolution in theater. People don't sit around and debate the issues in "The Visit." Like the pet black panther that mysteriously stalks the play's progress, its characters lie in wait, then move in for the kill.
The most spectacular killer, of course, is the one played by Ms. Alexander: Claire Zachanassian, a woman who is on her eighth husband and now owns half the world but has returned to her backwater hometown, Gullen, in Central Europe, to avenge her cruel, impoverished childhood. Claire offers her desperate, starving former neighbors a billion marks in exchange for the life of the grocer Anton Schill (Harris Yulin), who seduced and abandoned her 38 years earlier. Although the good people of Gullen are insulted by the notion that they would even consider doing in their most popular and respected citizen for money, there's never any doubt that they will do exactly that. The ghoulish fun in "The Visit" comes from watching Durrenmatt, his own cynical voice often inseparable from that of his heroine, as he sadistically tightens the vise on the town, forcing its hypocrites to reveal their ugly true colors in ever more vicious ways.
Mr. Sherin is keenly aware of Durrenmatt's black humor and utter lack of sentimental illusions. Everyone in Gullen -- starting with the mayor, the schoolmaster and the priest -- is morally corrupt, and, accordingly, Mr. Sherin puts every actor except the two leads in fiendish Expressionist masks. (As designed with a Weimar flourish by Michael Curry, they also help mask the blandness of a supporting cast spread thin as it doubles and triples in roles.) The conceit quite properly jolts "The Visit" out of naturalism, but not so much so that attention is distracted from the dialogue, which, in Maurice Valency's English adaptation, offers savage counterpoint to the action. The characters are always standing up for "simple human decency" and bragging about Gullen's "ancient democratic institutions," its abolition of capital punishment and its status as a "cradle of culture" once visited by Brahms and Goethe. Meanwhile, they spend Claire's blood money prematurely, steadily acquiring new shoes, gold teeth and other emblems of the good life on credit.
Thomas Lynch's set and Roger Morgan's lighting, though sometimes heavy-handed in their Brechtian effects, augment Mr. Sherin's imaginative scheme. With its tattered banners, hellishly colored interiors and strings of carnival lights, this "Visit" looks like a doomsday circus, an incipient charnel house. It is a shame that the director cannot always fill in the arresting broad canvas with telling details. The famous train-station scene in which Schill tries and fails to flee Gullen brings on intermission with a thud in Mr. Sherin's perfunctory staging of it, and it is further compromised by Mr. Yulin's minimalist performance. Neither Schill's terror nor, in the final act, his growing inner serenity is delineated in a lazy characterization that clings throughout to a single, sluggish note of shabby middle-aged defeat.
Mr. Yulin's failings put a big burden on Ms. Alexander, and she often carries it. Claire Zachanassian is a great role for any actress, but a particular feast for this one, whose innate coldness is far better suited to the bloodcurdling than the heartwarming. (Witness "Shadowlands.") With rouged cheeks, a pile of red hair, a garish crimson gown and a prosthetic leg that she delights in dragging noisily across the floor, Ms. Alexander is virtually unrecognizable in "The Visit." She cuts a demonic image as she surveys the action from her sedan chair (held aloft by two muscle men), smokes cigars, orders her retinue about and mocks the self-righteous platitudes of the Gullen officials. This fascinating performance would be a great one were it not subject to Ms. Alexander's own limitations in executing it. The commanding size of a true avenging fury -- a matter of presence, not physical stature -- is missing from this Claire, most obviously when her venomous declarations ("The world made me a whore. I make the world a brothel!") emerge as raspy wisecracks (augmented by a loud hand rattle) rather than as a panther's jungle roars.
Given the production's inconsistencies, it cannot honestly be called essential viewing for those who have vivid memories of great previous stagings of "The Visit" -- whether the legendary Peter Brook version with the Lunts, about which I have only heard tell, or the haunting Harold Prince production with Rachel Roberts and John McMartin that the New Phoenix Repertory Company brought to Broadway in 1973. But Durrenmatt's play itself is essential viewing, and the Roundabout rendering is good enough to put across its horror to newcomers. That horror remains fresh because the citizens of "The Visit" are not remote abstractions, abject money-grubbers or Nazi thugs, but articulate champions of justice who congratulate themselves on their civic virtues even as they take a vote to rationalize murder. A nightmare about democracy, Durrenmatt's play will always be pertinent, and when more so than in an election year?

A smarty blouse for some occasion (a family dinner, party at work or a date if you are a fan of ampire style and it's falttering for your figure ) or you can make it just to check your skills in sewed pleats and want to try something new – it is exactly my case. I must confess that I wanted to make this blouse much more than I want to wear it – as for me, its bottom part is too loose: I guess if I cut all the extra fabric instead of making waist gathering and the front pleat, it would fit me better. But general effect is not bad so I recommend it with some piece of advice.
1. When cutting front bodice – give extra allowance for pleats. Because it's much better (and right !!) at first to make pleats and only then to cut the front parts according to the paper pattern.
2. I would recommend to cut the front part with v-neck edge across the fabric ( I neglected this technological trick and regret about it) because in this way your pleats will be even and flat without any twisting.
3. If you make a blouse of thin fabric when sewing the pleats put a piece of tracing paper under the seam not to stretch the fabric ( on the picture).
4. I also changed the processing of the back's bending and front facing ( on the picture). At first I sewed the back's bending and then used the front's facing to cover the shoulder seam.

On a scale of one to ten, how much do you like movies and TV shows? I'd like to think that most people thoroughly enjoy a good flick, and basically everyone probably has at least one series they follow, as well. Of course we all love Netflix and Hulu+ (well, maybe we don't love the latter), but you know what else is good? Free. Free movies and TV, to be exact.
The kids who obsessed about Nintendo's Pokémon in the late 1990s are now the up-and-comers at some of the world's biggest technology companies. If you don't believe us, then check out the following video:
Yup, Google is back to its April 1st tricks, and they're going all-out this year. The video sets up an augmented reality game that lets you go out into the world and catch "real" Pokémon through you phone's camera.
OK, Music Boss, admit it: you tried pretty hard to get our attention with the 188.8.131.52 update. I mean, Pebble smartwatches, streaming movies, and Chromecast all in the same story? How could we resist?
Music Boss is a robust way to control playback of various media apps via your Pebble or Pebble Steel smartwatch, and it was also one of the very first additions to the official Pebble app store. The tool is light-years ahead of the basic music player built into the Pebble, allowing users to launch and switch Android music apps, adjust volume, and integrate with more esoteric apps like Tasker.
Netflix. Google Play Movies. Hulu Plus. What do these services have in common? They're all better than VUDU, a long-standing streaming service for movies and television whose Android app leaves something to be desired. But it's a little more desirable starting today, as a reader tipped us: VUDU now allows users to stream rented or owned movies and TV to a handy Chromecast.
VUDU didn't mention this in the app update text on the Play Store, and there are no peeks at the familiar Chromecast button in the screenshots.
Ready for another Google Now rumor? We've already seen evidence of contact-based reminders reliant on your proximity with another person, and "inferred events," whereby Now would pluck mentions of meetings or other appointments from your conversations to automatically create calendar entries. This time, we have something just as useful - a new bill pay card and interface, evidently headed for Google Now.
The Chromecast is slowly worming its way into every part of the Google ecosystem, but there is at least one aspect you weren't supposed to see yet. There is incomplete screen casting support built into KitKat, but it has been surfacing in very odd ways for the last few months. Rest assured, you are not alone in spotting it. Update 7/9/14: It's live now
Google will provide the definition for any word it knows, as long as you ask nicely (just typing "define" usually gets the job done). For anyone who doesn't get what I mean, here's an example.
As an English speaker, this functionality is just something I take for granted. But like everything else, it takes time to expand this out to other languages. Now Google's drawn attention to the feature's availability in Spanish.
Mankind loves to obsess over numbers, statistics, and data. Ok, maybe not everybody is stuck on tracking every last thing that happens; but if you're reading this site, there's a good chance you're already checking your monthly activity reports each time Google fires off an email reminder. That addiction to numbers is about to get much more interesting. Google is merging the monthly activity report with Dashboard to produce a super-sized page full of facts and stats about how you're using Google's services.

I wore this for the first time today and had gotten it in the mail yesturday. I walked to the bus stop (4 min walk) and it was 20 degrees out. I was fine. I wasnt cold at all. I got at least 20 comments (5 of which were from people i dont even know) about how "fresh" this hoodie was. The polyester liner is super comfortable and adds a little more insulation. Would recommend to everyone.

Dodge Durango Replacement Blower Motor Information
For choosy consumers with refined tastes Dodge vehicles feature prestigious looks and quality engineering. By allowing your motorist to burn gasoline more completely, performance equipment options increase power while cutting excess fuel usage. An automobile's performance is a composite of several factors including quality parts. An unmaintained Dodge Durango Blower Motor can prevent you from de-icing or defogging the windshield. The flow of air that results from the Blower Motor is used to heat or cool the atmosphere in the car. A Blower Motor is a crucial piece of a vehicle's cooling and heating system because it blows the warm or cold air into the inside of your car. A car's Blower Motor carries air from the outside of the vehicle and through the air conditioning condenser or heater core based on the heating or air conditioning controls. The Blower Motor is usually positioned below your car or truck's instrument panel; if it isn't functioning, the heating and air conditioning won't work properly. Buyers who select a Dodge Durango recognize that reliability and elegance are worth the time and energy; excellent accessories can keep your car or truck in top shape.

The word we keep hearing is catastrophe.
A U.S. Default Seen as Catastrophe, Dwarfing Lehmans Fall, screams the headline in Bloomberg Businessweek. A default would be unprecedented and has the potential to be catastrophic, says a Treasury Department report issued Thursday two weeks before the government is expected to begin running out of cash.
But what does catastrophic actually mean in this context? In the summer of 2011, when Republicans refused to raise the debt ceiling unless President Barack Obama caved to their extortionist demands, the same word was bandied about. It scared the political class enough that they kicked the can and avoided a default.
This time around, the need to raise the debt ceiling doesnt seem to be generating nearly the same concern. Indeed, Tea Party Republicans seem to be almost rooting for the government to default, as if that would somehow bring about the smaller government they so yearn for.
But this is incredibly wrongheaded. A failure to raise the debt ceiling, should it come to that, would likely inflict a different kind of pain than sequestration or even a shutdown of the federal government. It wont make the government smaller. But it does have the potential to diminish the value of one of Americas greatest assets the backing of its debt while throwing the world economy into chaos.
The first point worth making is that the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which declares that the validity of the public debt of the United States ... shall not be questioned, was added precisely to avoid what is happening now: a faction of Congress using the debt ceiling as a bargaining chip. That basic truth, as Fortunes Roger Parloff noted in a recent blog post, ought to weigh very heavily in the minds and on the consciences of the House Republican faction that is now unambiguously violating its letter and spirit.
The second point worth making is that U.S. government debt is the only risk-free asset in the world. That debt undergirds the entire world financial system precisely because the whole world has such faith in it. There is always demand for U.S. government debt. Almost every other asset you can think of is in some way measured against it. A default would destabilize the market for Treasurys. And that, in turn, would likely destabilize every other asset.
The stock market would fall. Interest rates would rise meaning, for instance, mortgages would become more expensive just as the housing market is starting to revive. Treasurys themselves would likely have to pay higher interest to investors, which would create a rather sad irony: A default would exacerbate the countrys long-term debt (the very problem the Republicans claim to care about).
Lets move to the havoc a destabilized Treasury debt would have on the banking system. The plumbing of the global financial system depends on Treasurys, says Karen Petrou, a banking expert at Federal Financial Analytics. Remember what happened to Lehman Bros.? As the market lost faith in the companys ability to meet its obligations, Lehman lost access to the repo market, which is the way banks are funded on a short-term basis. Treasurys make up a great deal of the collateral in the repo market. If a default were to cause the repo market to freeze, the entire banking system would find itself in crisis. Meanwhile more shades of Lehman Bros. the ratings agencies would likely downgrade Treasurys, forcing money market funds to start dumping government debt.
Painful choices would have to be made. Right now, the Treasury Department says it does not have the authority to pick and choose which creditors to pay. But, in the event of a default, it is hard to imagine that the government wouldnt make some tough decisions about who should get paid in the short term and who would have to wait. And, though this would infuriate millions of Americans, bondholders in China would likely get their money before, say, Social Security recipients.
From a purely cost-benefit analysis, says Mark Zandi of Moodys Analytics, not paying bondholders would wind up costing the U.S. much more than not paying Social Security recipients because if bondholders lost faith in Treasurys, it would cost the government billions more in interest payments each year.
During the 2011 debt-ceiling crisis, consumer confidence dropped by 22 percent. When consumer confidence falls, people are less willing to spend and businesses are less willing to hire. Thats how recessions or depressions begin, and that may be the most important consequence of all.
For as long as anyone can remember, the ability of the U.S. government to pay its bills on time has given the rest of world tremendous confidence. At the same time, to have the one asset everyone in the world trusts has given America great advantages.
Why on earth would we ever risk that? Why?

Refueling Gear Makes Navy's Next Drone Even Deadlier
- Friday November 4, 2011
The Navy's experimental program to build a killer drone that can take off and land from an aircraft carrier just got way more deadly. It's adding onto the X-47B new gear that will allow it to refuel in midair. While that might sound mundane, it'll mean the killer drone can fly nearly nearly 10 times longer than the typical manned combat jet.

AN ASTONISHINGLY good eye for exactly matching one colour to another has put an 18-year-old Portlander on track for a national car spray painting award.
Emily Barry from Bruno Body Repairs is busy polishing her skills in preparation for a trip to Sydney in October for the National Automotive Colour Matching Championships. She qualified recently by winning the Victorian title over six other apprentices from across the state.
Her boss, Paul Adams, said just getting to the state championships was an achievement in itself, let alone winning.

1. This bland, rounded front is the perimeter of a rather egglike and nicely low-drag front-end volume.
2. The coarse grille texture is presumably meant to convey an impression of toughness. It mostly comes across as unrefined and clumsy.
3. Hot-air outlets on the hood are not a bad idea at all and provide a little visual interest for the driver as well.
4. The disproportionately large sideview mirrors offer a clue to the overall size of the Evoque. It's actually rather small for an SUV.
5. This rising line defines the entire side profile, allowing an impression of a wedge form and providing a sportiness to the ensemble that would be missing without it.
6. Inserting this piece of brightwork into the dark lower-body area that serves as a mass-reduction visual effect is a nice touch.
7. This lumpy-bumpy collection of profile changes is quite surprising, seemingly having no aesthetic or practical function. Looks like a mistake.
8. Having the lower lamp bridge the front-quarter air inlet is as pleasant an effect as the profile above it is goofy.
9. Whether this is a serious brush guard or a piece of lightweight decoration isn't clear, but it does give the impression that the Evoque is ready for serious off-roading.

It was a little thin around the bangs which sometimes led to the wig cap being visible, and was a little too small for my head.

Halle Berry's Malibu beach home with views from every room

The Malibu Cove home has four bedrooms and five bathrooms in slightly more than 5,000 square feet. Built in the 1990s, it was recently remodeled.

MORE...Welcome to the Ley Community
We are a therapeutic community recovery model, peer driven, abstinence and self help in an enabling and supportive environment where residents and staff work together, confronting the problems caused by alcohol and drug dependence.
Main therapeutic intervention is 26 weeks
Resettlement -12 weeks. Voluntary work placement and then you find full-time employment
Aftercare – once you move out into independent living we provide intensive support for your first 90 days and then you are part of our TLC Recovery Community.
Our recovery programme is tough and challenging but the rewards are freedom from addiction. For men and women from detox to aftercare.
We offer support families and have facilities to accommodate overnight and weekend visits.
Residents who complete our recovery programme have an opportunity to make a fresh start in life – from therapy into full time employment and independent living, with aftercare and support for as long as it is needed and you become part of our TLC Recovery Community in and around Oxfordshire and beyond.
We break the cycle of addiction, welfare dependency and offending.

Magnavox Model MWD2205 VCR/DVD combo player.
When installing VHS tape,blue screen comes on with "eject" showing. Only starts up,then,after a few seconds,shuts unit down. Trying dvd disc,tries to start,then it shuts the unit down also. No,I don`t have tape and dvd in at the same time,LOL. Have unplugged for 1/2 hour,but doesn`t make any differance. Any clues about whats` happening? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by catherinet (My Page) on Sat, Aug 26, 06 at 0:18
The closest thing I had to that happening was with my Panasonic VCR. We took it to the shop, and he said that the things that turn the tape were all gummed up......probably from using the same tape so many times. He cleaned it up as best he could and said it might not last much longer. It lasted about a year, and it's doing it again. Do you think this is what might be your problem? The main symptom I had back then was it would just shut down shortly after starting it. |

Two sides, equally strong-willed and determined, face off in an epic battle of sleep. A refusal to give into slumber is met with an equal dedication to enforce the rules of nap-dom. Screaming and a theatric conflict of wills ensue. There can only be one victor.
"The No-Cry Sleep Solution"
June 7, 2011 by · 1 Comment
I just received this book, by Elizabeth Pantley, in the mail yesterday and cannot seem to read the pages fast enough. Between my weary, sleep-deprived eyes and a 5-week-old who won't nap for more than 15 minutes unless he's sleeping on one of us, I'm in desperate need of a solution.

I'm trying to keep spirit when the ghost disappear
from Lil Wayne – Nightmares of the Bottom Lyrics on Genius
Lil Wayne is making a biblical reference to the Holy Trinity: The Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit has also been referred to as the Holy Ghost. When he says that the ghost disappears, which is whatever it is that keeps him moving forward, he's trying to keep his spirits up through whatever struggles may be present. The Holy Ghost could also be the son himself (if he's high enough) and whenever the son is no longer visible to him to guarantee his faith is strong, he's still trying to maintain his faith within himself (as said before). The Holy Ghost could also be a reference to the Satanic industry.

Fri 15 Nov 2013 No comment supplied. Tue 05 Nov 2013 The jewellery box is lovely but the magnetic letters are a bit disappointing - not very well made. Also they do not attach to the box so they are just magnetic letters that need to be put somewhere else. Love the box but wouldn't recommend buying the letters. Wed 09 Oct 2013 Lovely product, well received Fri 20 Sep 2013 It is for my 3 year old Granddaughter for her birthday so I hope she will like it-I think it looks really cute. Wed 18 Sep 2013 I absolutely love this jewellery box. I bought it as a christening present for our goddaughter in the hope that it would be something that would grow with her. It would look lovely in her pink nursery now, my teenage daughter loved it and even I loved it. Fingers crossed my goddaughter continues to love it as she gets older. Tue 17 Sep 2013 Item was much smaller than I thought and finished badly. The ribbon at the front of the box was badly frayed - I sent it back the replacement was the same! Only good thing was postage was refunded both times but such a shame. Sloppy!

Sutro Baths/Land's End, San Francisco
San Francisco
Concierge.com's insider take:
The Sutro Baths, once three acres of pools that could hold 25,000, closed in 1952 and are now nothing but crumbling walls and brackish ponds. These melancholy ruins, with the churning Pacific as backdrop, mark one end of the beautiful Coastal Trail around Land's End. Starting from the parking lot above the Baths (uphill from the Cliff House), the trail skirts the wooded promontory to offer stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge from the seaward side.

Ok i was doing cogswap as usual when i was pulling the white thing back to the left to lock the tray in again, i think i miight have hoooked another piece in the drive by accident. well the drive seemed to be jammed and couldnt open, so i pulled the drive out a little and kept playing with the eject button and applied a little force.Sponsored Links
well eventually the drive ejected, and it reads discs perfectly still. The only thing that is wrong is that the drive ejects half as fast as it should and makes a little noise when ejecting and going back in. I told my friend about this but left out the part about the cogswap, blaming this on a faulty game and he said my drive will eventually stop working. My question is there any way to fix it myself, or do you guys know whats wrong?
