I'm a new guild wars player; I'd never tried it until I started last week. I'd heard great things about the game for years, and with GW2 on the horizon I thought I'd try GW1. I finally installed it, made a couple of characters in Prophecies, and discovered.... that it's incredibly boring.
The world thus far has been fairly lifeless, I can't really explore some areas because the world is so underpopulated that, for instance, I couldn't find anyone to open the gate for me to the Northlands in the pre-searing section. The post-searing area is pretty dull-looking. I get tired of killing the same stupid bugs that jump out at you right outside the gate every time I enter the zone. And again, I can't find anyone who actually wants to group up (not that I need to, but I thought it might make things more interesting).
I really want to make this work. When does the game get interesting? Is it just prophecies that's not so fun? Should I skip it and move on to one of the other expansions? It's not that the combat is particularly hard... I can complete whatever missions I have without too much trouble. There hasn't been much story to keep me interested.
So what should I do? I'm only level 9 or so. Is prophecies worth playing? I don't mean years ago when the world was full and you could group up, etc. I mean now. Are there places in GW that still have people interested in grouping? I'm playing on a european server.
I've tried ranger and necromancer so far... any advice before I uninstall would be nice.

Now, if the money is being spent so the kid has "a lot better chance of getting into an Ivy", of course it is good to understand those odds.
Each Ivy sport has its number of "slots" with its admissions office. The candidates it proposes to the admissions office need to have academic stats close to or above the minimum Academic Index score. I would say for tennis there are two, maybe three slots per year.
Some Ivies require each sport to meet the Academic Index minimum. Others combine the scores across all sports, so that if the recruits in some sports are a little below the threshold, a high Index number in other sports can compensate.
In the former case, sports...not only tennis....can be a tiebreaker between two applicants with the same academic credentials, as long as those credentials exceed the Index standard. In the latter case, unfortunately for tennis families, Ivies usually look to tennis recruits to offset low Index scores from kids in other less civilized athletic pursuits. So at these schools the tennis recruits probably would have been admitted even without tennis.
Links about the academic index have been posted here before you joined, but if you google it, you will be directed to the key sites
That family wanted to make their son a professional tennis player. However, top tennis coaches in China did not want to train him. Based on this only, I just don't think spending $250,000 a year in US would make this kid a touring pro that can make a decent living. So, this is not smart money.
On the other hand, if the boy is smart and is willing to work hard, he may improve his tennis enough to become a 5 star. In addition, he may get 2,000 SAT to meet minimum AI for an Ivy. Again, if getting into a top college is the goal, then one only needs to spend far less than $100,000 a year with Evert or Bollettieri.
How about donating $1,000,000 to an Ivy? Would that help kids' admission?

Hi there team. Great site! Love the way you search-engine-optimized it.
I have a suggestion I want to share with you.
When looking at my portfolio and clicking on either one of the sorting order links, the first order vallue displayed is "desc". Imho, most of those links should use "asc" on the first click. I'd love to see the following changed to "asc": - last purchase - cash earned (rate) - sales (rate) - date of upload - price
Hope this helps! Cheers, Emil

Acer's ICONIA Winner at 2011 CES Video Released
The official video of the Acer Iconia winning skit at the Last Gadget Standing event is now available to view! Laugh yourself silly while seeing why the Acer Iconia was the overwhelming crowd favorite of this year's "Last Gadget Standing" competition at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
New York, NY (PRWEB) February 14, 2011
The official video of the Acer Iconia winning skit at the Last Gadget Standing event is now available to view! Laugh yourself silly while seeing why the Acer Iconia was the overwhelming crowd favorite of this year's "Last Gadget Standing" competition at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Acer's brand new ICONIA, a dual-screen multi-touch tablet, incorporates the best features of any notebook or tablet device and more.
Acer can be justifiably proud of ICONIA's win, as the competition for this fan-favorite title is as fierce as it is fun. Each product nominated had to be one that the writers and readers of prominent Internet tech news and blogger sites throughout 2010 considered the most innovative, user-friendly and able to stand the test of time. Scores of original nominees were submitted before being whittled down, by popular vote, first to a preliminary 25 and then to the final 10 "left standing" just prior to the 2011 Consumer Electronic Show. The ultimate winner was selected after a hilarious–and triumphant–live presentation by ICONIA's advocates and promotional team.
"We are overjoyed by this result," explains Gianpiero Morbello, Corporate Vice President Marketing and Brand, Acer Group. "The fact that ICONIA is largely appreciated means we have done our job well and we delivered a device that provides a truly different experience, at the same time innovative and user-friendly. Our experience with touch technology has allowed us to completely remap the user experience and create a far more natural interaction with our devices."
During the finals, all products nominated as a "last gadget' are presented and demonstrated to a live CES audience. It has become a tradition that each presentation be as creative, lively and funny as possible to stir up votes. So, going where "no laptop has gone before," ICONIA's own enthusiastic entourage described its many popular features using a Star Trek-inspired comedy skit that had the huge crowd roaring with laughter and impressed enough, indeed, to acclaim Acer's newest product "out of this world" as the "Last Gadget Standing."
Offering what Acer describes as the "Absolute Touch Experience," ICONIA makes it easy for consumers to discover new and immersive ways to view and interact with their favorite videos, photos, websites and movies. Compatible with Windows© 7 software and offering a unique visual experience, the ICONIA allows multimedia, entertainment, communication and even web pages to flow seamlessly across its 14-inch dual screens. A virtual keyboard is as close as the user's fingertips and features a full-sized QWERTY layout, while something Acer calls the "Gesture Editor" enables users to create customized gestures that will instantly open applications or favorite websites with–literally–a wave of their hand.
Last Gadget Standing founder Robin Raskin and tech journalist Harry McCracken co-hosted this year's proceedings, along with Sirius Radio personalities, Gary Dell'Abate and John Hein from the Howard Stern Show. John Cowan and team represented Acer in this well crafted performance.

There you will be able to read more about the fascinating Acer ICONIA, now the one and only "Last Gadget Standing" for 2011!

Possible Drowning at Oologah Lake
OOLOGAH, Okla. (AP) — Authorities say one man is missing after a fishing boat capsized on Oologah Lake.
The Rogers County Sheriff's Office says three men were fishing Thursday when their boat capsized on the lake. Two of the men were rescued and the third remains missing.
Sheriff's Deputy Adam Hall says the missing man is 36 years old and a cousin of one of the rescued men.
Officials say the boat capsized about two miles north of Oologah Dam on the west side of the lake.

UN Security Council unanimously adopts Syria aid resolution
Published on Feb 23, 2014 1:19 AM
UNITED NATIONS, United States (AFP) - The UN Security Council on Saturday adopted a unanimous but non-binding resolution calling for humanitarian aid convoys to be allowed access across war-torn Syria, but diplomats immediately voiced doubt about its effectiveness.
Syria's staunch ally Russia, with support from China, has blocked three previous resolutions aimed at pressuring the Damascus regime since the crisis began in March 2011, with an estimated half of all Syrians urgently awaiting immediate help.
But Moscow and Beijing, two of the five permanent Security Council members, did not do so this time, sending a strong message to President Bashar al-Assad, whose regime is accused of serious rights violations in attempting to hold on to power.
The resolution was drafted by Australia, Jordan and Luxembourg and had the backing of Britain, France and the United States, the other permanent Security Council members.

We've teamed up with Nero to offer up five copies of its flagship burning suite, 9 Reloaded. Nero has been a household name for over ten years, and it's for good reason. Its burning suite is one of the most robust out there, and it continues to get better with each new release. Entering couldn't be much easier, so check it out, and good luck!
(Contest is closed. Stay tuned for winners.)
Up for grabs in our latest contest are five copies of Nero's burning suite, 9 Reloaded. Back when CD burners were just beginning to gain some traction, the selection of burning applications was slim (the opposite is true today). Of those few, one of the better ones was Ahead's Nero Burning ROM. Since then, much has changed. The company dropped its Ahead name in favor of "Nero", and the suite has developed to become one of the most robust out there.
Nero's flagship suite does a lot more than just burn discs, however. Some of the other functionality includes the ability to create CD covers, recover data from scratched discs, test your drive's performance, recode and watch video, create your own movies, edit your music files and a whole lot more. To see all of what the suite includes, I highly recommend taking a look at the official product page.
For me personally (Rob), I quite enjoy using Nero as my personal burning suite, in either Windows or Linux. I've been using the suite since version 4, circa 1999, and haven't looked back, so it's our pleasure to be able to offer up copies to our loyal readers. We're giving away five copies in total, and the winner will be able to choose between either a downloadable version, or a boxed copy.
This contest is open to the world, although countries, or cities, where contests are either barred, or require additional work on our part are not included, so please do your research before entering. One example is Quebec. If you live in such a place with strict rules, we have no problem sending the prize to a friend or family member of yours who lives elsewhere, to either retain or forward to you.
Entering is easy. Nero would love to gain some feedback from both its current users and potential customers, to better understand what it is you look for in such a burning suite, and what you'd love to see refined, or included in the future. These are the questions to be answered:
#1 – What tasks do you use your multimedia software for? Please provide top 3.
#2 – What multimedia software do you currently use?
#3 – Where do you live? (State or Province and Country)
To submit your responses, please take a quick moment to sign up on or forums, and PM Rob your answers to the above questions. You can either retain the structure as seen above, and put an asterisk (*) next to each answer, or remove the options that don't apply. Though we require you to sign up in our forums, you do not have to post in order to enter, and it won't help your chances, but we'd heartily recommend it anyway ;-).
Contest ends December 21, 11:59PM EST.
Absolutely no information aside from our three questions will be relayed to Nero, or any other entity, or used by Techgage in a less-than-desirable manner (such as spamming). Your information is safe with us.
Good luck to all who enter!
Contest Prize
The prize for this contest is a copy of Nero 9 Reloaded (five in total, one per winner). The winner will be able to choose between a downloadable version, or a boxed copy. We regret to limit potential winners outside the US and Canada to the downloadable version only. There is no difference features-wise between the downloadable and boxed version.
Techgage Networks Inc. Commitments
ABSOLUTELY NO data gathered through our contest will be sold or given away to companies, persons or any other entity outside of Techgage management. We frown upon the practice of selling data and it will never cross our minds, regardless of what prized possession would be set in front of us.
After signing up on the Techgage forums, the option "Receive Email from Administrators" will be enabled by default. If left enabled, you will be sent a greeting on your birthday, as per vBulletin forum's design. If you do not wish to receive this e-mail, or any other e-mail ever from Administrator (Techgage), please disable the option.
We reserve the right to refuse the entry of someone who's disruptive on our forums, or is detrimental to the site or our contest in any way.
We reserve the right to adjust contest rules due to various circumstances.
Our contest is open to the world, but we will not be able to send a prize to anyone living in a city or country where there are problematic rules against contests. One such example is Quebec, Canada. If you live somewhere that has strict contest rules, you will have the option to have a friend or family member receive the product instead (to retain or forward to you).
This contest is not open to an employee of Techgage Networks Inc.
One contest submission is allowed per household.
The winner of the contest will need to provide a full name, mailing address and phone number if the boxed copy is requested.
Contest Entry & Winner
The contest runs until Monday December 21, 11:59PM EST.
For instructions on how to enter, please refer to the "How to Enter" section of this page.
For reiteration of rules or any questions, please e-mail Rob at rob [dot] williams at tg.

There's a few dirty little secrets US Sailing and ASA don't want you to know. First their certificates are worthless. Even charter companies don't hold them in any higher regard than Safe Boater Cards you can study for and obtain free online in every state….that is if they bother to ask for anything. Second their wonderful "super qualified" instructors can do the classroom portion but can't take you to sea legally unless they have a US Coast Guard License. Most schools (and their insurers) require instructors, even classroom, to have a USCG 100 ton Masters License with an auxiliary sail endorsement. To get that you must have spent two years at sea under sail; that's 720 verifiable days minimum, 360 of that must be in offshore waters. Now where do you think these Masters learned to sail? I can guarantee you it wasn't at an ASA or USS school at a cost of thousands of dollars just to get to basic keelboat proficiency. The point is that they know much more about sailing than the canned curriculum of a one size fits all sailing school. This brings me to the third little secret. A Coast Guard license isn't just a license to operate a vessel with passengers, it's also a license to teach seamanship, you even get sea service time for teaching. These sailing outfits want you to believe their instructors are fabulously qualified and continuously reviewed, and they are….but not by them!
I'm telling you all this because I want you to consider another option. All sailing programs consist of two parts. Classroom and on the water boat handling. You can get excellent classroom instruction from the Coast Guard Auxiliary or the Power Squadron. It's inexpensive and IMO is much more through. Their certificates carry more prestige than anything else short of a USCG license, even in Europe. That will take care of the classroom part. Now for the boat handling. Find a boat club and join it. It will have a fleet of boats you can use. Then find a sailor to instruct you. The boat club will probably have a list if they don't already have their own program. The advantage to this is that you'll get individual instruction, boats to use on your own to practice, make a lot of friends, get as much time on the water as you want (not 8-12 hours from a basic sailing course at a cost of hundreds of bucks) and save a lot of money. Furthermore you can hire different people and learn a greater number of skills and you'll be "on the scene" and learn your way around boats much faster. Also get a logbook so every time you sail with a licensed Captain he can endorse it, this will be more valuable than any certificate you can get from a school and be the start of your sea service record.
Remember, there is no substitute for experience on the water; that's why the Coast Guard requires 2 years at sea but less than 80 classroom hours to get a license.
Good luck,
Sorry about the long post.

While Mark Hughes' Stoke tend not to play like Tony Pulis' Stoke, this Saturday, Arsenal will probably see Stoke return to their deep-defending, possession-shunning, and counter-attacking way that defined the Pulis era.
Hughes' sides have not done anything special when they play Arsenal. When they do have the ball, they may look to play the ball long, especially if Peter Crouch starts up front. Such long balls will probably go into wide areas, looking to match up the tall center forward against a full back rather than a center back. Such reliance on aerial ability could lead to Stoke finding some joy on set-pieces, even though they have only scored one goal from set pieces this season.
(Looking at the 7amkickoff Index, I see that 4 of Arsenal's last 9 goals conceded were from headers, off crosses, from open play. The other five were an O.G., a penalty, a fast break, a cross to feet, and a direct free kick as the result of a fast break. Arsenal also had 5 clean sheets in that time. Tim)
However, with the dribbling ability of Bojan and the potential for Johnathan Walters to miss the match with a knee injury, Stoke could look to play more passes into the space between the defensive line and last midfield line, instead of going over the top. If they look to play Mame Biram Diouf instead of a target man up front, then it could lead to Stoke playing Charlie Adam and/or Steven Ireland to provide more players with the ability to provide the diagonal ball or incisive pass to set the quicker center forward on his way to goal. However, playing with the likes of Charlie Adam or Steven Ireland does impose a cost defensively, and could lead to Hughes keeping those two on the bench.
They will probably look to keep their defensive shape compact, limiting the amount of space between the lines. Stoke will probably set up in a compact 4-4-1-1 shape, as having four men in a defensive line seems the best way to control a particular vertical level of the pitch. Hopefully, Arsenal will do a better job breaking down their opposition than they did in last season's defeat to The Potters.
In last season's 1-0 defeat¹, Arsenal played Santi Cazorla, Tomas Rosicky, and Lukas Podolski behind Olivier Giroud. With Cazorla and Rosicky, Arsenal had two players who wanted to stay in more central areas, while Podolski offered little down the left. This made it easy for Stoke to mark Arsenal's fullbacks, when they went ahead. Combine that with the fact that Arsenal had an attacking liability in Bacary Sagna at right-back (why Manchester City signed him as a back-up right back is beyond me), and Arsenal struggled to create enough in that match.
Looking at this season's team, the fact that Arsenal will probably have a front trio including the likes of Alexis Sanchez and Danny Welbeck/Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain, along with a superior attacking option at right back in Calum Chambers, means that Arsenal will have a greater potential to stretch Stoke City's lines. While having too much positional width in attack makes a team rather susceptible to counter attacks because the team has too much space to put pressure on the ball or to cover passing lanes if they lose possession, it could prove beneficial in attack.
However, it would be preferable to stretch Stoke's defense with a more compact and intelligent positional set-up, along with better ball movement. A team that sits deep and compact has to work quite hard to control the spaces they want to control if they go up against a side that has control of the ball and an ability to control spaces in possession. Without control of the ball, the defending team can be at the mercy of the side with the ball. Even if they do not score in the first 70 minutes, much like a boxer spending the early rounds landing body shots, the side dominating the ball and space has done quite a bit of damage. With lowered energy levels, a team's ability to make tackles and interceptions decreases, while their ability to control space becomes compromised. Football is a game of 90 minutes. Keeping a clean sheet for 80 minutes does not matter, if it comes at too great of a cost for a team to close out the match.
To that point, Arsenal cannot get frustrated and needlessly force the issue. That is exactly the kind of play Stoke want. They want Arsenal to try to force the issue and attack gaps that do not exist, rather than create and exploit holes that appear in The Potters defense. That is part of the reason they will look to foul Arsenal quite a bit. In addition to winning the ball and the physical attrition it can impose on Arsenal, they hope that such a rough style of play will cause mental attrition². At some point, Arsenal need to show more faith in their superiority over the opponent, stay with the playing style, and not throw resources forward or try to force the ball through Stoke.
In this sense, not having Jack Wilshere in the side may help Arsenal in this respect. For all of Wilshere's ability on the ball, his poor decision-making between when to pass and when to dribble can lead to him dribbling into a wall of defenders. Combine this with his worrying lack of composure/poise when things do not go his way, either arguing or throwing himself in a retaliatory action/poor tackle (It is sometimes hard to tell whether a particular tackle of his is just terrible, just retaliatory, or both), and Arsenal seem better off without him in this match.
Continuing with this theme of not panicking in possession/getting frustrated, against Stoke, with the aerial advantage they have, crosses in the air do not look like a profitable way of creating chances, at least early on. Even though the wide areas may be where the easy space is, Arsenal should not look to exploit that space to play high crosses into the box. Maybe later in the game, if they have successfully worn down Stoke with good ball movement and positional play, such crosses could become useful, particularly if Olivier Giroud plays the role of supersub again.
Giroud: Starter…Supersub…Both?
Against Everton and against Southampton, Olivier Giroud's introduction helped to change the match. In both matches, a fresh Giroud had his way with tired defenders as Arsenal chased the points. As the opponent tires, concedes possession, and drops deeper, a player like Giroud has a greater ability to take advantage of his size and strength. He can bully defenders; he can occupy areas, in the on-side space, closer to goal; his lack of top end speed matters less because of the lack of off-side space to exploit; his ability to hold the ball up against tired defenders allows Arsenal to better exploit more advantageous spaces. He seems like a fantastic option off the bench to chase a match.
However, if he can provide this at the end of games, would you not want this ability throughout the match? I would argue that the differential in freshness/fitness matters heavily for a player like Giroud. If he starts the match against Stoke, he does not start with that physical advantage. Instead, like the rest of Arsenal's starters, he will physically decline as the match goes on. Therefore, it seems unwise to linearly extrapolate the production of a substitute to come up with an estimate of production over 90 minutes³.
Looking at the bigger picture, Olivier Giroud also seems like a player who has a significant drop-off in performance, when comparing fully fit and fresh and any other fitness and energy combination. Watch the first North London Derby from the 2013-14 season, and then watch the one in March of that season. The difference between a fresh Giroud in the first match and a physically worn-down Giroud in the final NLD is striking. And it makes sense given how much more he played last season compared any other season of his career.
Last season, he started 43 matches, logging 3725 minutes on the pitch, between Champions League and English Premier League games. During 2012/13, he played 41 matches between the two competitions, with only 28 starts, logging a total of 2715 minutes. In his final two seasons at Montpelier, he played 36 matches in 2011/12 and 37 matches in 2010/11, logging 3205 minutes and 2920 minutes respectively. Given the increase in minutes and matches that Giroud had last season, combined with his need to be at his best physically to play to the level Arsenal need of him, it makes sense that his performance tailed off massively as the season went along.
Therefore, to get the most out of Olivier Giroud, to have him consistently perform at the level Arsenal need, the Frenchman probably should not start a large majority of Arsenal's matches. Instead, he should probably start occasionally, maybe 25 times a season, and have a significant proportion of his minutes come as a supersub, particularly when Arsenal chase a match. Obviously, Giroud wants to start every match. Such a playing policy could cause some discontent for the center forward. However, with the likes of Alexis Sanchez and Danny Welbeck capable of playing that role, Arsenal have a greater need for high quality performances rather than a high quantity of appearances from Giroud.
¹5 points dropped to United, 3 points dropped to Stoke, 2 points dropped to Swansea. For all the talk of Arsenal not winning the title because they did not perform in "big" games, those are 10 points of which Arsenal should have won at least 8. There is your title.
²To make an analogy to the NFL, last season, the Seattle Seahawks seemed to take a similar approach when it came to defending receivers. Guessing correctly that referees would not blow the whistle every time they held a receiver or contacted one illegally, Seattle took advantage of this to no end. Combine this with the talent they had and it made for one of the greatest secondaries in my lifetime. Maybe such a thought process exists in the minds of combative clubs. "They might call us for a foul or a yellow card every now and then, but no referee wants to continuous stop the game for fouls". Therefore, the lax enforcement, in an effort to promote "flow", provides an incentive for such tactics. This provides a different explanation to why Arsenal seem to not get calls like other teams. Opponents revealed that referees have a desire to not blow the whistle all the time, making such combative tactics more profitable. Combine this with a perceived and sometimes real tendency for Arsenal to lose their attacking discipline in the face of such adversity, forcing the play, leading to turnovers, and providing counter-attacking opportunities, and we have some significant positive reinforcement of this set of behaviors.
³The idea of sub-effects also comes up in the per90 numbers and was on full display in the 2014 World Cup, particularly with Belgium, who brought on an athletic CF, either Origi or Lukaku, to take advantage of tired defenders.

Q&A: Maile Okamura talks about dancing for Mark Morris
Maile Okamura of the Mark Morris Dance Group talks about the choreographer's newest opera production and more
Thu Jun 27 2013

Before the Mark Morris Dance Group graces Lincoln Center with Morris's new opera Acis and Galatea, longtime company member Maile Okamura offers an insider's perspective of the work. In addition, Okamura talks about costume design (she's designed many for friend John Heginbotham), the end of dance companies and the upside of concussions.
When Maile Okamura talks about Mark Morris's newest opera production, Acis and Galatea, one idea keeps popping up: nakedness. Even though the dancers wear gorgeous Isaac Mizrahi floor-length chiffon dresses—the men are in the skirt version—Adrianne Lobel's set design, based on her paintings, is uncluttered. "Acis has a very open feeling," Okamura says. "It's also very vulnerable. You can't hide behind the big staircase or the huge tree—it's all singing and dancing." Okamura, a ballet dancer before becoming a treasured member of the Mark Morris Dance Group, shares her thoughts about performing alongside singers and costume design—which is practically her second career. Look for her sartorial creations in Morris's upcoming Fall for Dance premiere.
What can you tell me about Acis? What was the process?
It's still very new. We premiered it in Berkeley and then did it in Boston, but I feel like it's still finding its legs. It's a piece that Mark has been wanting to do for years and years. Acis has probably been in his mind for decades. Originally Marty Pakledinaz was going to do the costumes; unfortunately he passed away [in 2012]. Isaac Mizrahi did the costumes and Adrianne Lobel, who has been working with Mark since the beginning of time and who did the sets for L'Allegro [il Penseroso ed il Moderato] and The Hard Nut, is doing the scenic design. It's a huge operation. They know each other so well, and I think that's interesting. It's an opera with no sets, and it's danced through. Dance is not a secondary element: It's really a dance from beginning to end.
Does it feel different than Mark's other operas?
I would say this one really has a lot of full, rich dancing in it and, of course, the singers are incorporated onstage. Mark has been working in this way for a long time—in Platée and King Arthur. Also, since we've been going to Tanglewood, he's been working with singers every year—either staging a small opera or trying to access their movement capabilities as performers. This was an extension of that, and it's very bare in a way because it's just Adrianne's scrims and the singers and the dancers and that's it.
Did they talk about minimal quality?
That's something I've noticed that is extremely different from other operas that Mark has done. King Arthur and Platée have such wonderful, imaginative sets, and it's part of the fun, I suppose, of an opera in contrast to a concert dance that we put on in a repertory show. This one doesn't rely on that, and I feel like that was a challenge that they set for themselves even though I didn't hear that from their mouths.
It seems that's the way Mark's work is going in general.
Yeah. He wants to expose things.
And strip away?
Definitely—strip away decoration, fanciness, artifice to see what you're left with. I think it's just amazing. So the elements, Adrianne's scrims and the costumes are developed along the same line. They come from her paintings; the scrims are comprised of layers of her paintings. They're landscapes. It's almost like on Photoshop where you can make layers: She pulled out several layers of a painting so that there are bare areas and colors and shapes. The scene is abstracted and then parts of the painting, on top of being layered, were actually cut out with scissors, so they have holes that become entrances for us.
Does it give the stage depth?
Yeah. There are two main scrims in each act, and then there's an additional layering of one scrim right against another. Isaac's costumes are printed with details of Adrianne's paintings. So it's like we're in a forest glen. It's very singular in its design. The men wear floor-length skirts and the women wear floor-length dresses—very fine, delicate chiffon, and they're very full. There are godets that make the bottoms billow out, so they definitely have a stage effect. The costumes themselves have their own lightness and buoyancy. They're beautiful.
What kind of challenge does it present to perform with the singers onstage?
It's amazing. You can feel their vibrations. It makes you shake. You're standing there, holding their hand, and they're singing the most gorgeous aria right directly into your ear at full volume. One of the special and difficult things is that Mark requires the singers and dancers to behave as one unit, and his approach is very direct for any performer. You are yourself. He doesn't like it when people are veiled behind the mask of drama or the quotation marks of "I'm a dancer" or "I'm a singer."
What about the choreography?
There are some beautiful love duets. Act I is all about love. The dancers play the lovers, the scenery, the birds and the environment, so it's an interesting combination of beautiful set choreography and scenes that are more improvised, say, generating a mood or an effect like the waves crashing. It's not a dance; it's just the ocean. We're the ocean. And each scene changes. Sometimes we're in quartets, and I feel like we're echoing the characters of the singers. Sometimes we're in trios. In one beautiful scene after Acis is killed and turned into a river, we become the river. That's a particularly beautiful dance that is actually semi-improvised. Mark made up some very short phrases or just bits of movement and each dancer has a partner, and they mirror those short phrases in whatever order or tempo they want so it's always changing. It probably looks like something that took years to choreograph, but it will change every night. That's something that people won't be able to notice if they come once, but it has the desired effect: the "bubbling fountain" in the text. That's one thing that's so interesting about Mark's choreographic process. It combines very strict choreography with very loose improvisational structures. There's actually a lot of freedom in some of the sections, which he wants. He wants it to just change and be fresh and look alive and not stale.

The First Canadian Army was the senior Canadian operational formation in Europe during the Second World War.
The Army was formed in early 1942, replacing the existing unnumbered Canadian Corps, as the growing number of Canadian forces in the United Kingdom necessitated an expansion to two corps. By the end of 1943 Canadian formations in the UK consisted of three infantry divisions, two armoured divisions, and two independent armoured brigades. The first commander was Lieutenant-General A.G.L. "Andy" McNaughton, who was replaced in 1944 by General H. D. G. "Harry" Crerar. Both had been senior artillery officers in the Canadian Corps in the First World War. Allied formations of other nationalities were added to the First Canadian Army to keep it at full strength.[1]
The Army's strength was 177,000 in all ranks at the end of 1942. One year later it had grown to 242,000. At the time of the invasion of Normandy on 31 May, 1944, it was 251,000, of which 75,000 were in Italy.[2]
When the First Canadian Army was formed overseas in 1942, Lieutenant-General McNaughton's aim was to keep the Canadian Army unified to lead the cross-channel assault on northwest Europe.[1] Two brigades of the 2nd Division led the ill-fated Dieppe Raid in 1942.[3] Aside from this endeavour, the Army did not see combat until July 1943. In 1943, because the Canadian government wanted Canadian troops to see action immediately,[4] the 1st Canadian Infantry Division, 1st Canadian Armoured Brigade, and 5th Canadian (Armoured) Division were detached from the Army for participation in the Italian Campaign.[5]
In early 1944, the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division and 2nd Armoured Brigade were also detached to British I Corps to participate in the assault phase of the Normandy landings. II Canadian Corps became operational in Normandy in early July 1944, as the 2nd Canadian Infantry Division landed. The First Canadian Army headquarters did not itself arrive in Normandy until mid-July, becoming operational 23 July 1944 just prior to 4th Canadian (Armoured) Division arriving on the Continent.
The Army proper first went into action in the Battle of Normandy and conducted operations at Falaise (e.g. Operation Totalize, Operation Tractable) and helping close the Falaise pocket. After reaching the Seine, the objective of the first phase of Operation Overlord, the Army moved along the coast towards Belgium, with the Canadian 2nd Division entering Dieppe at the beginning of September. The critical Battle of the Scheldt in October and November opened Antwerp to Allied shipping.
The First Canadian Army held a static line along the river Meuse (Maas) from December through February, then launched Operation Veritable in early February, cracking the Siegfried Line and reaching the banks of the Rhine in early March.
In the final weeks of the war in Europe, the First Army cleared the Netherlands of German forces. By this time the First Division and Fifth (Armoured) Division as well as First Armoured Brigade had returned to the Army during Operation Goldflake and for the first time, both the I Canadian Corps and II Canadian Corps fought under the same Army commander.
The First Canadian Army was international in character. The size of Canada's military contribution on its own would likely not have justified the creation of a separate army-level command in North-West Europe, especially over the period when I Canadian Corps was away gaining valuable combat experience in Italy. However, both McNaughton and Crerar, backed up by the Canadian government, were successful in their lobbying to create a Canadian-led army enlarged with contributions from other Allied countries. In addition to II Canadian Corps (which included the Canadian formations under command described above), other formations under command included the British I Corps, and the 1st Polish Armoured Division, as well as, at various times, American, Belgian, Dutch and Czechoslovak troops. The First Canadian Army in North-West Europe during the final phases of the war comprised the largest field army ever under the control of a Canadian general. Ration strength of the army ranged from approximately 105,000 to 175,000 Canadian soldiers to anywhere from 200,000 to over 450,000 when including the soldiers from other nations.
The 'Maple Leaf Route' was the designation of the army's Main Supply Route. The route was usually divided, into MAPLE LEAF UP and MAPLE LEAF DOWN, designating traffic to and away from the front, respectively.

Marion Barber decides to retire
Chicago Bears running back Marion Barber has decided to retire, the team announced on its website Friday.
Barber, who backed up Matt Forte in 2011, ran for 422 yards and six touchdowns. Barber's 2011 season will be remembered for an unfortunate fumble in overtime against the Broncos in Week 14 that cost them the game and crushed their playoff hopes.
"I want to thank everyone who gave me the opportunity to play, and I'm very thankful to have had the chance to suit up for two of the NFL's most storied organizations," Barber said on the Bears' team website.
Barber played six years with the Cowboys and was released last offseason. Although Barber never ran for more than a 1,000 yards in a season, he was selected to play in the Pro Bowl in 2007.
The Bears signed running back Michael Bush to a four-year, $14 million contract on Thursday. The signing didn't sit well with Forte.
"There's only so many times a man that has done everything he's been asked to do can be disrespected!" Forte tweeted. "Guess the good guys do finish last."
Forte has been adamant since last season that he wanted a long-term deal, but the franchise has had other plans. Forte was slapped with the franchise tag and will be paid $7.74 million.

speculaas (also known as speculoos with our neighbours over in Belgium) are traditionally made for the Sinterklaas (Saint Nicholas) holiday on the 6th of December in the Netherlands (but more and more are enjoyed year-round). For me personally, they bring back some pretty fantastic memories from my (half-Dutch) childhood and I simply know Christmas is just around the corner once these babies hit the oven.
And trust me, these are proof that there is nothing wrong with keeping it simple. Spices (which can be adjusted slightly according to taste), sugar (I use organic evaporated cane juice), molasses and butter are their essence. How you balance them, is what makes the difference.
These recipe is also gluten free, but feel free to substitute the gluten free flour and xanthan gum for unbleached flour and you are all set.
The one indispensable thing, is that the dough has to be thoroughly chilled before baking. Why? The butter in the dough has to have solidified once again before you can press it into the molds (or roll it into balls), that way it won't stick and the shapes will come just right.
If no traditional speculaas mold is on hand, don't worry just break off a chunk of dough, roll it up and flatten it. I am fairly certain your stomach won't be able to tell the difference.
But if you are (ultra) keen, you can find some beautiful hand-carved speculaas molds over here.
- 180 g (1½ cup) gluten free all purpose flour*
- 1 tsp xanthan gum**
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp freshly ground nutmeg
- ½ tsp ground cloves
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp ground cardamom
- ¼ tsp freshly ground white pepper
- 85 g (6 TBS) butter, softened
- 80 g (1/3 cup) evaporated cane juice (or cane sugar)
- 1 TBS dark molasses
- 2 TBS whole milk (or almond milk works as well)
- Whisk together the flour, spices, baking soda, salt and white pepper. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, cream the butter and the evaporated cane juice with an electric mixer and mix in the molasses. Add half of the flour mixture and rub with your hands to incorporate. Add the milk and the remaining flour mixture and continue to incorporate until it comes together. Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). If using a speculaas mold, break off chunks of the dough, press into the (very well!) floured speculaas mold, cut away the excess dough with a very sharp knife and invert the mold to free the dough. (It might take a tap or two).
- If not using a speculaas mold, break away the dough, form into balls and flatten.
- Place the dough pieces at least 5 cm (2 inches) apart and bake until golden brown, 15-18 mins.
140g (1 cup) brown rice flour
135g (1 cup) white rice flour
33g (1/3 cup) tapioca flour
1 tsp xanthan gum
** If your gluten free flour mix has xanthan gum, do not add any more
In order to make non gluten-free speculaas, substitute the gluten-free flour mix for unbleached flour and omit the xanthan gum

Are you an avid reader who can't put a book down? Do you picture yourself on stage, participating in elaborate theater productions? Perhaps you have always dreamed of a career in journalism, reporting from faraway places. Then you belong at Rose State College. Small classes, state-of-the-art facilities, and hands-on experience make Rose State the best place for an associate degree in the humanities. You'll be exceedingly well prepared for the completion of your bachelor's degree, if you so choose. And while at Rose be sure to take in all that's happening around campus, from plays and concerts in the Performing Arts Theatre to the annual poetry reading festival to special conferences and guest speakers.
Options abound, from American and English literature to world literature, Black literature, American Indian literature, and creative writing. Students are well prepared to pursue a bachelor's degree in English.

Rose State has the only LTA program in Oklahoma, and it can be obtained totally online. Students are prepared to work in public or private libraries, with government documents, or in research. All LTA courses are taught by master's-level librarians.
Intermediate proficiency in French, German, or Spanish is available, along with courses in the history and culture of the related language. Students are well prepared to pursue a bachelor's degree at a four-year institution.

Private lessons are offered in piano, voice, guitar, strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion. There are also opportunities for students to perform as part of various ensembles. Foundation courses in theory and harmony are required.
The Music Engineering & Industry area specializes in preparing engineers, managers, and producers for immediate entry into today's music industry or for transfer to a bachelor's degree program. Upon graduation, students will be equipped with the most up-to-date knowledge and skill sets necessary to become successful and maintain those successes in their industry pursuits. This program's curriculum emphasizes real-world, practical, and hands-on experiences and provides opportunities for immediate application of the information delivered in the classroom and abroad. The capstone of this program, which coincides with the development and completion of a portfolio, is an internship with an industry company (label, studio, sound production company, firm, etc.).
In addition to acting, students gain hands-on experience in such areas as scene painting, set building, and makeup. Four shows are produced every year. Students learn the nature of producing each show as well as building organization, teamwork, and leadership skills. Faculty and staff work closely with students in all aspects of the discipline.
