Character Rehab - Dazzler Edition
By Brazen_Intellect 29 Comments
Dazzler was a bold marketing stunt Marvel pulled in the 70's as their version of KISS, but as a disco diva. She was able to hold her own series for the early part of the 80's until falling into obscurity for long periods of time with short term revivals here and there depending on the writer at the time (Claremont's Outback X-Men, New Excalibur). At this point she seems relegated into cameo duty to show up here and there to tease her fans, but what direction would you take her in if given the chance?

UT trustees give initial OK to new Chattanooga leader, retention bonuses
UT trustees give initial OK to new Chattanooga leader, retention bonuses
CHATTANOOGA — University of Tennessee trustees paved the way today to hire a new chancellor for the Chattanooga campus and provide nearly $1 million in one-time retention bonuses to current leaders.
The Executive and Compensation Committee this morning approved the hiring of Steven Angle, the senior vice president at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, at the trustees meeting at the Chattanooga campus.
If approved by the full board Friday, Angle will start July 1 and will make an annual base salary of $291,000. He will receive an annual $7,000 expense account and $20,000 housing allowance.
He will also receive a $20,000 moving allowance.
Angle has a doctorate in organic chemistry and a bachelor's in chemistry from University of California, Irvine. He received a master's degree in organic chemistry from UCLA.
The trustees also preliminarily approved a retention plan that will allow top leaders — the president, chancellors and executive vice president — who meet certain goals to receive a bonus of up to 45 percent of their salary in 2015.
Under the plan, UT system President Joe DiPietro would be eligible for a $200,730 bonus. Knoxville Chancellor Jimmy Cheek could receive $177,730, and Agriculture Chancellor Larry Arrington could see $128,486.
The committee previously OKed the plan in January, agreeing to place it on the agenda for this week's meeting. It will now move on to the full board meeting for approval.
The plan requires administrators to remain at UT for three years but is retroactive to July 1, 2012.
More details as they become available online and in Friday's News Sentinel.

Police Chief Gets Jail Time for Snooping on Parker-Broderick Surrogate
Carpenter resigned two weeks ago as chief in Martins Ferry, where the celebrity couple's surrogate lived. Prosecutors said he broke into Michelle Ross' home in May, took items related to her pregnancy and the surrogacy and conspired with police Chief Chad Dojack of neighboring Bridgeport to sell the items to celebrity photographers.
He testified that he saw a door to the home open and went in to check it out. He said he photographed a surrogacy file that contained two ultrasound pictures and a plaster cast of a pregnant stomach, but did not remove anything from the house.
Ross said during the trial that she was staying in a West Virginia hotel at the time and later returned home to find that ultrasound photos, surrogacy files and tax information were gone. She also testified that someone had apparently rummaged through some photos and that the plaster cast, made when she was pregnant with her own son, was misplaced.
Belmont County Common Pleas Judge John Solovan called prison time a "must" in the case, and Carpenter was immediately taken into custody after the hearing. A special prosecutor had said Carpenter could have received up to six years in prison.
The judge noted that he had received letters in support of Carpenter from members of the former chief's family, friends and police officers.
Ross gave birth to the twin girls June 22 at an Ohio hospital. Messages seeking comment on the sentence weren't immediately returned by Carpenter's attorney, Special Prosecutor T. Shawn Hervey, and Parker-Broderick spokesman Simon Halls.

Two years eight months. He got off lucky. I don't know much about the law but I sure hope he was convicted of felonies at least. They might also have added abuse of his office. What is amazing to me is that a police officer was actually convicted of wrong-doing. Never would have happened in a big city with a big police force to stand behind him.

Fayetteville Park Planner Carole Jones and Fayetteville Mayor Lioneld Jordan were both on hand Friday for the ribbon cutting and grand opening of the Wilson Park Pool improvement project.
City leaders say the project includes renovations to the pool building, dressing rooms and some work on the concessions building.
According to Jones, Wilson Park Pool is the only municipal pool in the city of Fayetteville and the facilities hadn't been renovated since 1983 until now.
Photojournalist Ben Goodwin has the sights and sounds of the new and improved Wilson Park.

This week the Republican National Convention began the third movement in the symphony of the 2012 presidential election. And instead of the careful minuet we've come to expect from Republicans, we got a scherzo, a quick-paced comedy.
What, you thought they were serious? Republicans established their satirical theme in the preamble to their platform that included this bit of metaphor abuse: "Providence has put us at the fork in the road, and we must answer the question: If not us, who? If not now, when?"
That's exactly the question I ask my wife when we're lost and come to a fork in the road. Not "Left or right?" or "Does Siri have any more bright ideas?" but, "If not us, who? If not now, when?"
It should have been obvious that Republicans weren't taking this seriously when they picked "We built it" as their opening-night theme and asked the Republican nominee for Delaware lieutenant governor Sher Valenzuela to speak in prime time. Never mind that she teaches women business owners how to get government contracts. Never mind that the Republicans' vice presidential nominee used Social Security benefits to pay for college when his dad died. Never mind that Ann "We once had to eat tuna" Romney got a $77,000 tax break for her dancing horse.
The "We built it" slogan is its own bit of black comedy, based on a cruel misreading of one of Barack Obama's rare moments of ineloquence. What he was trying to say was that no matter how much success you have achieved in life, you didn't create the Internet, build the roads, or establish a public school system that created an infrastructure for your opportunity. It takes a village.
But Republicans never miss an opportunity to feel aggrieved. Boycotting Chick-fil-A somehow limited free speech. Rush Limbaugh accused the National Hurricane Center of skewing their forecast of Isaac's path to interfere with the convention. And saying we're all in this together obviously negates individual achievement. That's how Republicans ended up singing arias to Ayn Rand while kicking Ron Paul delegates out of a publicly financed convention hall while Romney partied with $1 million donors on a yacht flying the flag of the Cayman Islands.
Their nominee is polling at 0 percent among black voters, so Republicans manifested this particular inner demon by inviting former Democratic congressman Artur Davis to criticize Obama for divisiveness while delegates pelted a black camerawoman with peanuts, calling her an "animal" and taunting, "This is how we feed the animals."
Romney's losing to Obama among Hispanics by 40 points, for Pete's sake, so when it came to scheduling speakers on Tuesday, Republicans pretended that they were down with the brown. One of the Hispanic speakers was Texas' own Republican Senate nominee Ted Cruz, whom I'm working against. Cruz stepped in a puddle on his way to a joke when he said, "You know, we have so many things to be thankful for, so many blessings. Including, even, we can be thankful for Hurricane Isaac. If nothing else, it kept Joe Biden away."
Amid this symphony of human arrogance, a counter-melody emerged when Hurricane Isaac blew ashore. The main players in Tampa celebrated their Potemkin convention while the lowlanders along the Gulf Coast hunkered down and prayed the levees would hold.
We've seen this show before. We had a president once—not that they'll utter his name in Tampa—who came to that fork in the road and said, "Why not me?" Taxes fell, and so did the levees. We lost 1,836 Americans in the floods because we forgot it was our job to form a more perfect union, provide for the common defense and promote the general welfare.
I think I like this remake better than the original. When Republican chairman Reince Priebus predicted, "This will be an inspiring three days," he probably wasn't talking about the triumph of working together for the greater good that we saw in the path of Hurricane Isaac. The $14.5 billion, 133-mile ring of levees, flood walls, gates and pumps that the Army Corps of Engineers built to protect New Orleans?
You built that.

Originally written on Waiting For Next Year | Last updated 11/16/12
Browns KR/WR Josh Cribbs is quoted by Mary Kay Cabot of the Plain Dealer today, and his words aren't anything we haven't really heard from Cribbs before, but have to be considered an issue- On talking to Pat Shurmur: "I've talked to the head coach but there's no point. Obviously they feel like everybody that's in front of me is a better athlete. I disagree. I feel a different way than the coach feels about me. They must feel I can't produce. We have a difference of opinion." On his value: "I feel like I'm better than the next man, that man, whoever's in front of me, but I don't have that opportunity." On it being his contract year: "I can't even showcase myself. I'm more than a special teams player. I've proven that. I belong on the field more than this, more than what they're allowing me to do. I've tried not to say much, but it's upsetting. We're nine games into the season and I haven't gotten a chance." Plenty more of the interview to read at Cleveland.com.

It has been a series of very public statements from a publicity-shy owner. And it comes on the heels of David Glass, owner of the Kansas City Royals, issuing a series of comments about the future of his club (most recently voicing his support for the James Shields-Wil Myers trade).
Hunt and Glass won't be confused with outspoken Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, but their recent decisions to speak out have me wondering if, during a time of very high fan unrest, they've changed their approaches to running their teams.
Glass remains guarded in his approach to the media, even after approving a collection of deals that have bought the Royals a new starting rotation for 2013. His comments on the recent trade with Tampa Bay came via the team's website, and the one contentious media interview he did last year (in which 610 Sports' Danny Parkins asked him about selling the team) ended abruptly, with Glass leaving the stage at the All-Star FanFest. His desire to control the news apparatus, and his message, suggests that he's not comfortable out front.
The story may be different for Hunt, who operates in the shadow of his father, Lamar Hunt. He witnessed his father's commitment to a city and its football team. While Clark Hunt may not stand in the end-zone section with fans, he does appear committed to them.
Hunt has used the word "I" a lot more than the word "we" in the past week. It's a deliberate choice, suggesting that this season had an emotional impact on him. That was evident as he walked off the field with his arm around Dwayne Bowe a day after linebacker Jovan Belcher killed his girlfriend and committed suicide in Arrowhead's parking lot, outside the team's practice facility. After a season we'd like to forget for numerous reasons, Chiefs fans may remember this as the time when Hunt found his identity as an owner.
Hunt and Glass may finally have realized that watching the bottom line and letting the sports guys handle the sports stuff isn't working. What remains to be seen is if they can sell the fans on the idea of real changes around the Truman Sports Complex.

Baylor Bears
Photos: Five burning questions for the Baylor Bears' 2012 season
Photo: Vernon Bryant/Staff Photographer
Question: How does Nick Florence fill the Heisman-shoes of Robert Griffin III? / Why it's important: Why isn't it important? Nick Florence has been given the task of following the media-darling, Heisman-winning quarterback that put Baylor football on the map. There's no way Florence can replace what Robert Griffin III did for the university, so he'll have to find his own identity when the season rolls around. We saw a little bit of what Florence could do versus Texas Tech when RG3 fell to injury, but you can guarantee he'll have a tougher time against defenses that aren't as porous as the Red Raiders' defense.

Gambling is a universal phenomenon. Besides, technological advances and the Internet have further made it possible for you to gamble from any part of the world at any time of the day or night. Such online game sites and casinos prove to be a boon to many to overcome their boredom and monotony in life. Hence, men and women, young and old, all vie to gamble at some or the other time in their lives. Although essentially, gambling should never be a means of satisfying your financial necessities, yet most come to gambling for the lure of money only. Gambling urges and habits also prove to be different among men and women. Although there is no scientific proof to back these claims, yet such traits occur in most cases. Therefore, many accept it to be a feature of the respective gender.
Gambling and Men
Often mention of a gambler normally conjures up an image of a male only. This is because men gamble more frequently than women do. Since time immemorial, men have been regular gamblers. A woman entering the gambling arena has been a recent feature. Therefore, the basic difference continues. Men are more likely to gamble more often than women are. Another possible reason for this could be the adventurous and daring spirit of males. Men, by their inborn nature are more fearless and bold. They are ready to face the uncertainties involved in gambling. They rather like to go in for heroic and adventurous things in life. Women are soft, gentle, and timid in nature. They therefore stay away from uncertainties, dangers, and other risky ventures.
Another concurrent difference between men and women gamblers is that men begin gambling as early as in their late teens. Women are safe players and enter gambling dens late, as late as in their late twenties. Sometimes, women take to gambling very late in life well past their fifties and sixties. This is to evade boredom and loneliness in life. Men often flock to blackjack and poker tables. They enjoy these games as they offer more risks in gambling. You could earn lots if you win. Otherwise, you could lose similar amount of money through your bets too. Women tend to have greater fascination and attraction towards simpler and less risky games like bingo and slots. These games do not involve high risks. Therefore, it satisfies the feminine urge for a little merriment by taking part in safe gambling.
As men are willing to undertake higher risks, they place larger bets. Men exhibit a very competitive spirit. They gamble and form strategies and other techniques to win at a game. Men tend to take up gambling very seriously and want to win back their wager with extra winnings. Women prefer placing smaller bets to satisfy their urge to gamble. They gamble just for the fun of it and therefore, do not apply any specific strategies or develop special winning odds. Their docile nature makes them exhibit a less competitive spirit. These differences do exhibit certain gender dissimilarities in men and women in their attitudes towards gambling. Of course, this is no clear and justified discussion. Exceptions are omnipresent and hence, there are women standing on an equal pedestal and taking on men in their gambling arena. However, for the most part, these observations are common and occur predominantly.

Conor Oberst brings intensity to Pabst Theater
Describing the voice of Conor Oberst, many people have used the word "quaver," even after the indie singer-songwriter toned down the teenage trembling, as a 34-year-old man should.
At the Pabst Theater Saturday night, however, the word remained suitable for Oberst's live concert. His very body seemed to vibrate as if his nervous system was dosing his skin with extra voltage: Not enough to convulse him; enough to generate a low hum of surplus energy beneath his performance. »Read Full Article

Travel like a local: Your Neighbourhood Guide to the Cape Town CBD by Day
Rob PetersThe CBD is the heartbeat of every major city and it is no different for Cape Town. The city centre is the pulse of the Mother City, providing the lifeblood of the surrounding areas. It is a melting pot of diversity and culture, a smorgasbord of historical influences and a place like no other on earth. If you really want to get underneath the skin of Cape Town, you need to start in the city.
Travel like a local: Your neighbourhood guide to DurbanvilleDurbanville is not your average Cape Town neighbourhood. There is so much more going on than the daily school run. This is a neighbourhood filled with great experiences for everyone to enjoy.
Take Advantage of Winter in Cape Town
Jenny MorrisI'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth and I love to get a quality deal at a good price. My working season is all year round, but it does slow down ever so slightly in winter and that is when I get to take advantage of all the specials on offer.
Your #lovecapetown weekend: What's on from Wednesday 01 July to Sunday 05 July, 2015
Rob PetersWith a wealth of natural beauty, unrivalled mountain trails and sublime backdrops, it's not hard to understand why Mother City locals spend the majority of their time outdoors and on the go. The good news is that it's even better in winter with the cooler temperatures making it an awesome option for sport and fitness fanatics!

"Tweede Nuwe Jaar" - It's a Cape Town thing
The Cape Minstrel Carnival is a tradition that dates back to more than a hundred years ago, otherwise also known as "Tweedenuwejaar" (2 New Year). Though this year, the carnival was moved to the January 4, the celebrations were still as big and bright as ever.

Remember Me
The band does plan to carry on and will conduct a search for a new fiddle player in the
coming months. Kral will finish her tenure with Cornmeal over Memorial Day Weekend at this
year's Summer Camp Music Festival.
Kral has penned a letter to Cornmeal's fans about leaving the band.
Dear Cornmeal friends and family,
It is with incredible mixed emotion that I am announcing my departure from Cornmeal. This
band has been the most significant fixture in my world for the past decade, and it has
been the most difficult decision of my life thus far. I take enormous pride in what we
have accomplished musically, and I cherish the shared passion and musical drive that my
fellow band mates and I have. I now feel an obligation to tackle new goals, and to strive
to become the best well-rounded fiddler I can possibly become.
To all our fans and family, I appreciate your loyalty, your support, and your smiles more
than I can ever express. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for affecting my life in
such a positive way! I hope you will all join me at Summer Camp Music Festival, as I play
my last performances with the band. And to Cornmeal, our managers, our crew, and everyone
behind the scenes, thank you, for a decade of the most mind-blowing, sincere moments of
my life!
Your friend,
Allie Kral

Here's the latest on what you're doing with stocks for the contest--and what they're doing to you!! It's pretty much dominated by earnings news, both good (LLTC) and bad (YHOO, ESLR).

Good morning all. Serge Amelyan maintains his lead for the second day running, and Parker Robinson holds 2nd place--as both gain substantially with the top trade of the day on Linear Technology. It was was up 12.20% Wednesday on strong earnings. AND Serge is the first contestant to break the $3M mark with a total portfolio value of $3,236,223.05 up $351,671.04 from Tuesday's total on the sale of Linear Technology.
The Dow closed at a new record as blue chip stocks were boosted by upside earnings reports, but stocks ended mixed after two notable tech names disappointed investors. JP Morgan Chase added positive momentum to the financial sector, closing at a new high after the bank reported first-quarter earnings growth of 55%.
Good morning. There's a new name on top of the contest leaderboard. Serge Amelyan makes a big move from 7th place to the top spot ahead of Parker Robinson--but by only $28K. They are both banking on Linear Tech, their only holding, although Parker is only holding 20,000 shares and remains mostly in cash while Serge is all-in with 89,712 shares.

Spurs Stephen Jackson breaks pinky Monday, out 4-6 weeks
Nov 19, 2012, 10:05 PM EDT
The Spurs have a hole at small forward suddenly.
Stephen Jackson broke the little finger on his right hand during the game with the Clipperss Monday, the team announced. That is his shooting hand, and will be out four to six weeks.
Jackson had been thrust into the starting lineup because of left knee tendonitis for Kawhi Leonard, and he is expected to be out at least another week, maybe more.
Jackson had been coming off the bench and giving San Antonio 8.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game.
So, who is going to play the three for the Spurs? Maybe they will go small with some Manu Ginobili, maybe they go with more run for Boris Diaw, Gary Neal or Tiago Splitter.
Know that this is San Antonio, they are not going to rush Leonard back for games in November when they are worried about games in May. Plus, whoever the Spurs plug in will play well for them. Because they always do.

You're completely wrong as usual. Instead of just commenting on this site you should read some of the articles, maybe get a basic knowledge of the game. You're just bitter because the Spurs sunk your Lakers with a beautifully crafted play and you replied with a Pau Gasol 3

Good TEAM win by the Clipps. They came in hungry and deserved it. Tough break for Jackson they could used him late. Oh well, chalk it up boys. Chalk it up.
- 00maltliquor - Nov 20, 2012 at 2:33 AM
4-6 weeks for a broken pinky? Really? S Jax is one tough customer but if Kobe woulda gotten his panky broken he woulda been out 4-6 minutes.

West Dundee, IL
Barry, You seem to be the only prominent owner who time and time again is brave enough to sound your voice on the cheating that is going on in our sport. Furthermore, you are the only one who backs their opinion up with the some viable, and attainable pre and post race protocols, that I feel, would effectively level the playing field in thoroughbred horse racing. What will it take for racing to embrace your ideals as they seem to be basic, clear cut, and not far fetched? Additionally, what racing jurisdictions do you feel are the most progressive in their quest to clean up horse racing?
East Saticoy, CA
What do you think of all of the small partnership groups that are being advertised? Has anyone ever made money and/or gotten a good horse by investing $399?

Your concept of having all racetrack medications supervised under a "company store"-type of security method was a radical departure from the current state of racing. What sort of feedback have you received? I know that here in WV, some of the individuals making the most money at the track are the vets.
Lexington KY
You've enjoyed a lot of success purchasing overseas horses for racing in the US. What attributes do you look for when assessing tried horses in foreign racing jurisdictions?
Pleasantville, NY
Hi Mr. Irwin, thank you for answering our questions. I have a question about partnerships, and what happens when a real winner comes along. When a filly wins some black type, she becomes quite valuable as a broodmare. A colt that wins big races can go on to a lucrative stud career. How do partnerships handle these assets? Put it another way... do people in the partnership retain any rights to a horse once it's racing career is over?
Louisville, KY
You've been an outspoken critic of horse racing's inability to effectively police itself with respect to performance enhancing drugs. What organization/association/group do you see as the most likely to lead the effort, and what would be your #1 priority?

Buffalo, NY
Can you name a few things about handicapping that you've learned as an owner that you didn't know as a horseplayer?
Grove City, Ohio
Hello Barry: As a long time fan of Thoroughbred Racing and Breeding and the occasional owner of a bottom claimer at Beulah Park, I agree with your comments on the "Lack of Integrity" in Racing. But, with so many integrity issues where would you begin? Which issues would you tackle first? It's easy to say just do that Reaganomics thing and start at the top and let the rest trickle down. But, is that really the right place to start? Or would you begin with what the general public see's like other major league sports have tried to address recently within their respective arenas? Thank you, Chris Roberts.
Newark Delaware
With the great career you have had. What are couple of things you want most?
Georgetown College, Georgetown, KY
I'm a freshmen in college and have a deep passion for the Thoroughbred industry as it relates to both racing and sales. Any free time I have is usually spent reading about pedigrees, racing history or, of course, The Blood-Horse. I do not, however, have any strong connections to people in the industry and I keep hearing that it's a hard business to break into unless you "know the right people" or are "from the right families." Can you give me any advice on what I can do over the next four years of college to make it easier to break into the industry when I graduate? Several people I go to school with have the same interests and concerns and we're very eager to hear your views. Thank you.

Random Partitioning possible? (Due to media sets not restrain BE's media access)
Dear BE users and supporters,
after learning that BE's tape allocation in a tape robot/ autoloader will not be restrained by having different media sets but only by partitions, I tried to do it that way.
However the implementation of the partitioning is "very basical" and not like the nice way media sets are assigned (create a media set, give em a nice name, select some tapes RANDOMLY and assign them to the media set). In a media set, You can afterwards add and remove tapes at random within seconds. Very nice!
The partitioning is "less intuitive", frankly speeking.
- 1. Is there any way to RANDOMLY adding tapes to a partition? (E.g. slot 10-20 and 50-60). Until now I am only able to add one consecutive sequence to a partition (that shall later restrain BE's wild tape allocation scheme).
- 2. Is there a way to give the partition a name
If 1. is not possible: This is a problem, if You already accessed tapes via the "wild" media set way. E.g. within the attached image BE2010 grabbed a new tape (#087) from the scratch media set (even though there were other free tapes available within its own target media set #040 - #069) and added it ITSELF to the target media set.
Now I have a problem creating the partition for the job targetting the partition, since I don't know how to tell BE, that my desired partition shall include tapes #040 - #069 and tape #087 (that BE itself grabbed). Since a backup job IMHO can access only one partition, I don't know what to do here.
- Is there a way to "move" tape #087's content by hand to e.g. #069 without messing up the catalog?
Please help me, since I am not the only one that want's to restrain BE's excessive tape usage from other media sets...
GuenTech 07 Jul 2012 :
I would rather the job FAIL and wake me up, then have to go chasing down tapes that BE decided to "steal" to make another job run with sucess
Give that man a beer!
Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
1. no
2. no
I think you need to export your tapes, then setup your partitions, then re-import your tapes into the desired partitions. there should be no need to re-catalog anything. Simply run a scan job (assuming you are using bar code labels, otherwise run an inventory job) and BE will know where everything is now.
BE doesn't allow you to move a tape from slot to slot, but your library interface may offer than feature. If so, you can use that as often as needed, then just run a scan or inventory job when you are done.
If you find this is a solution for the thread, please mark it as such.
Thanks Larry,
even though I afeared the answers. But thanks for the idee that I can move tapes manually from slot to slot in the robot and then run an inventory within the robot (perhaps even in BE) afterwards.
Will do that with tapes "stolen" by BE's Media Set policy and avoid this in the future using those "rudimental" partitions
...there is already a discussion around this where your questions are answered.
But again, yes, partitions will prevent jobs from pulling media from another media set or partition. Effectively each job is "ring-fenced" to see what it is allowed to see (ie. partition containing tapes which are allocated to a specific media set).
Also...exporting/importing tapes is very long-winded, as is getting the library to move tapes around in the library's interface. Simply unlock the library within BE, unlock the magazine/s, and then move the tapes around manually before running an Inventory job within BE...much faster, less constant interaction on your part.

ThebaidHardback The World's Classics
Currently unavailable

Product description
This is a new translation of the Thebaid of Publius Papinius Statius, an epic poem in twelve books, completed in about AD 90. The Thebaid has been thought by many to stand second only to Virgil among Latin narrative poems. Its theme is the war between Eteocles and Polynices, sons of Oedipus, for the throne of Thebes. Rich in incident and always dramatic in tone, it unfolds a panorama of human ambition and violence, triumph and catastrophe. Though remaining within the Homeric and Virgilian tradition, it achieves its own power and vitality in thought, language, and description. Held in high esteem and widely imitated in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, the Thebaid of Statius is not only a masterpiece of poetry but a compelling story, at times horrifying, noble, and pathetic, of humankind bound by the power of Fate.

Review quote
'he has refined his technique to produce an elegant and readable version of the Thebaid ... the tone and style of Melville's translation mirror admirably the mood and power of the original ... Importantly, the translation reads easily ... it is without doubt the best one yet published, for he conveys better than any previous translator the tone, diction, style and imagery of the Thebaid. This handsomely produced book is a welcome addition to studies on Statius and will serve to increase the awareness among scholars and teachers of one of the finest postclassical poets' Bryn Mawr Classical Review

Jennifer M. Trefelner: "Late Night Catechism" opens Nov. 4 at intimate Black Box venue in Fort Pierce
This week, because of my job at John Carroll High School, I had the pleasure of serving as an impromptu props helper for the Sunrise Theatre's Black Box.
Marty Petlock, technical director and facilities manager at the Sunrise, asked me to help gather items for their upcoming show, "Late Night Catechism," which opens 8 p.m. Nov. 4.
The internationally recognized hit comedy is the first theatrical performance at the Black Box. The intimate venue adjacent to the Sunrise on Second Street in downtown Fort Pierce has featured only musicians and comedians since its opening.
While helping Petlock gather props, he educated me on the duties of a full-time properties manager, which could be a dream job for many folks I know. Theaters are given requests for items needed to stage a show, and the manager's job is to shop.
"The properties person needs to have a lot of knowledge of style and understand history," Petlock said. "Typically the shows that we (the Sunrise Theatre) have come fully prepared, but on occasion, we have need items. We are very lucky to have friends that donate props."
In "Late Nite Catechism," Sister (actress Nonie Newton-Breen) teaches adult catechism classes to a roomful of "students," who are the audience members. She transitions from an authoritative drill sergeant to a rewarding instructor with comedic flair.
If you miss the Friday opening, you also can catch the show 3 and 8 p.m. Nov. 5 and 3 and 7 p.m. Nov. 6. Tickets are $35 each and available by calling 772-461-4775, visiting www.SunriseTheatre.com or just showing up and buying one at the door.
If you have not ventured downtown to the Black Box lately, you should visit. A new group has taken over the bimonthly comedy series, which provides shows on the second and fourth Saturday of every month. In January, The Comedy Club, hopes to offer open mic sessions and give classes on how to hone your skills as a stand-up comedian.
And from October through April, the Fort Pierce Jazz and Blues Society hosts shows from 7 to 10 p.m. each Tuesday at the Black Box. The musicians alternate between jams and big band shows for $5 or $8, respectively.
In addition to these regularly scheduled shows at the Black Box, Michelle Shocked will perform her soulful folk music on Nov. 19. "John Lennon Imagined," featuring Nu Utopians will perform in February, followed by "Simon & Garfunkel Songbook: An Evening of Songs and Stories" in March.
I hope that those who attend the "Late Nite Catechism" show notice the props and let me know if any look familiar!

The most boring bike you've ever ridden

They seem to see these traits as desirable so oafs aren't startled by a 'sudden'--yet commanded--response of power. Limp suspension with imprecise damping. Excessive steering trail to ensure that wobbles and instability don't frighten the inexperienced, serve only to dull the steering feedback in the twisties. Crappy Transformer-like instrument clusters with glitzy displays that will soon fade, crack and craze. Miles of phony engine and frame covers to conceal poorly designed or poorly integrated components (Suzuki Vulcans and Yamaha Viragos are among the worst in this category). Brakes designed to intentionally not startle inexperienced users and therefore have broad engagement zones and poor final amount of available friction.
It is quite common for manufacturers to pasteurize, homogenize, filter and blend something to the point that it becomes as interesting as a block of Velveeta. If you haven't ridden a bike that doesn't suffer from those traits, you owe it to yourself to seek one out.
I tend to like my motorcycles with instant feedback, honest hardware and real suspension and brakes. There is no fake anything here. Every part has a purpose or it didn't make it to the final design. It's honest, spartan and raw. It's also the most 'alive' motorcycle I own.
It's pretty bad when a Harley engine can be described as 'responsive and snappy' compared to so many of the failures listed in this thread. The reality of 65+ ft/lbs of torque available over a 30 MPH spread in every gear makes it a willing backroad accomplice. Every tweak of the throttle is met with an immediate lunge forward. It steers
right now
and will stand on its nose if you ask it to.
I consider all late model motorcycles to be fake, especially Japanese bikes. They have been so highly refined that they have no character, no personality, no "soul" left. They may be reliable, but what good is that if you don't want to ride them because they are drop dead boring. The same thing has happened to new cars, but most people use them as transportation only, so they actually like it. But to me a motorcycle is 100% a recreational machine. I would gladly give up some of that safety and reliability to have some character. Just ride ANY 30-40 year old bike, and compare it to any new bike, and you will immediately notice a huge difference. Harley is pretty much the only company that still makes bikes with any character. Harleys still vibrate, and they still have that sweet off beat exhaust sound. I wonder if that is a big part of why they still sell so well?

Giant Bomb, what should I buy?! (PRIZES INSIDE, WINNER IS RED!)
By artofwar420 58 Comments
I've come across some money ($100), and finally I can finally give way to my desires, thing is there's so many games out it's hard to choose but I'm positive Giant Bomb has excellent taste. If possible something game related, like actual games, or a peripheral, well anything really. Music even. I own a PS3 (PS2/PS1), a Wii (Gamecube), a PC and that's it.
What do you get if you help me? The person whose choice I pick gets the following:
- Half Life 2
- Half LIfe 2: Episode 1
So ALL you have to do is suggest a game or games or something else and you might be a winner.
It probably helps if you have a Steam account. I'll PM the details to the winner.

I also feel sorry for the performers in a way because as soon as their popularity starts to wane then they're dumped and left unsupported with no help about what to do with their futures or they're given really bad advice as this article shows:
One former boy band member who knows this all too well is Lee Ryan from Blue. Financially you just cant ever relax, says Ryan. I really admire these guys who watch the money because it was something I never did. In Blue I had the flash cars, the designer gear, the great flat. When we split in 2005 I was advised to put the few hundreds of thousands I had left into property and it just tanked. Boys in boy bands can be total mugs. I was. It doesnt last long and you have to make the most of every opportunity because tomorrow you wake up and its over.

The AVO 3" catted race downpipe for the 02-07 WRX/STi is constructed from high-grade stainless steel, ensuring longevity along with great looks. It also features a special cast iron outlet which incorporates a splitter to deflect wastegate gases thereby improving turbo spool up & reducing air turbulence. The high-temp cast outlet removes a major bottleneck present on the factory exhaust system with its large bellmouth design with splitter for the wastegate. A stock exhaust flange simply has a blank plate at the wastegate, putting a major lid on performance.
The factory WRX/STi down pipe also uses two fairly restrictive catalytic converters. The AVO downpipe addresses this issue with a single large high-flow metal catalytic converter, larger than available from most other makers. All this adds up to a huge decrease in back pressure and a big increase in performance. Use your turbo to its full potential!
Note: Includes both gaskets, hardware and an adapter to bolt this downpipe to a stock catback (if needed).

A 4-year-old was left behind during a recent Marshall public school field trip. District administrators in Marshall will now be reviewing field trip protocols after the child was left at the Children's Museum of South Dakota in Brookings on Tuesday. Teachers didn't realize the 4-year-old was missing until they were back in Marshall, about an hour away. Marshall Superintendent Klint Willert has offered an apology, and says that rules for field trips were not followed. He says students are supposed to be counted before they get on the bus and again after they've boarded.

Car Tech
Automakers routinely test prototypes and productions cars on this stretch of German twists and turns, and drivers flock to this road to test their own metal and mettle. The fastest production cars on the planet run in the mid-to-low seven minute range.
Currently, (depending on your definition of street-legal production car) the top time is held by the Dodge Viper ACR thanks to its seven minute and 12 second lap. Now, however, it might be time for a new king of the hill... and this one is wearing a McLaren badge.
Rumor has it that the McLaren P1 recently went around the 'Ring in just seven minutes and four seconds. That's a blistering lap, and it could push the vehicle to the top of the ladder. Still, word has it that McLaren haven't publicized the time because it's not fast enough.
The goal is a sub-seven minute run, and if any car seems capable on paper it would have to be the P1. After all, we're dealing with a 900-horsepower hypercar that's capable of hitting a top speed of 217 miles per hour. Additionally, the P1 is fitted with trick active aerodynamic bits and engineering from some of the greatest go-fast-focused minds on the planet.
Still, this isn't an official time yet. Hopefully the automaker announces something soon though, because we're waiting to crown a new Nürburgring King. Could the P1 be the first true production car to drop below the seven minute mark? Only time will tell...
Not a lot of time, of course.
