Product description
This commentary discusses Aeschylus' play Agamemnon (458 BC), which is one of the most popular of the surviving ancient Greek tragedies, and is the first to be published in English since 1958. It is designed particularly to help students who are tackling Aeschylus in the original Greek for the first time, and includes a reprint of D. L. Page's Oxford Classical Text of the play. The introduction defines the place of Agamemnon within the Oresteia trilogy as a whole, and the historical context in which the plays were produced. It discusses Aeschylus' handling of the traditional myth and the main ideas which underpin his overall design: such as the development of justice and the nature of human responsibility; and it emphasizes how the power of words, seen as ominous speech-acts which can determine future events, makes a central contribution to the play's dramatic momentum. Separate sections explore Aeschylus' use of theatrical resources, the role of the chorus, and the solo characters. Finally there is an analysis of Aeschylus' distinctive poetic style and use of imagery, and an outline of the transmission of the play from 458 BC to the first printed editions.

Review quote
"David Raeburn and Oliver Thomas have made a difficult but rewarding play accessible to students with this the first commentary on Aeschylus' Agamemnon to be published in English since 1958. It offers an impressively wide-ranging introduction to the play that also sets it in the broader context of the Oresteia as a whole. Raeburn and Thomas prove to be dependable guides who offer judicious readings of difficult passages; they are even-handed in presenting variant readings or interpretations, and provide the resources necessary for readers to engage with scholarly debate."--Eric Dugdale, Classical Journal"Anyone who has labored at teaching this great play to students who come to the Agamemnon with no experience in Attic tragedy beyond reading, say, Euripides' Alcestis (perennial favorite of elementary Greek classes for its relative brevity and simplicity) will rejoice at Raeburn and Thomas's book. At the same time, those who have been through the text more times than they can remember will find much here that is new and valuable.... This is an excellent commentary, perfectly aimed at its primary audience, yet obligatory for veteran Aeschyleans."--Victor Bers, Bryn Mawr Classical Review

Nicer than expected.
Marian from Hendersonville, NC – Verified Buyer
The color of the chairs are brown Very uniform in color so they look like they've been carved out of chocolate; somewhere between milk and dark chocolate. Very simple elegant lines. These are not adjustable height as stated. I did not need adjustable height chairs, and I could tell by looking at them that they were a set height. The back is a low profile so if you are looking for back support and something cushy to park yourself in for a long period of time, these may not suit you. The seats have a little bit of give. The thing I found impressive was the design for assembly. Very simple and easy to put together. The legs are sprung a bit open so when you put the foot rails on you will need to put a bit of tension on them to get the screws started. I thought this was a good idea since it eliminates the need for lock washers and you will be assured there should be no need to tighten the screws periodically because they've loosened from use. I've had these chairs for less than a months and am very pleased with how they look, and sit, and they feel very sturdy. I would recommend them.
Nice looking chairs
Sara from Chantilly, VA – Verified Buyer
Sturdy, very nice looking chairs. There's not really a back to them, it's too low to do anything, so more for appearances. Also kind of a pain to put together, but overall, I'm very happy with these stools.
Pleasantly surprised!

text: 'Byzantine' Tips For Today's Foreign Policy October 31, 2009 When we say "Byzantine" today, we usually mean complicated and disorganized. But historian Edward Luttwak argues that the U.S. should look to the Byzantines — the ancient empire, that is — for foreign policy answers today. Luttwak, who wrote the book The Grand Strategy of the Byzantine Empire, tells host Guy Raz about what strategic tips President Obama could get from the Byzantium.

I don't know what I'm looking for... The only thing I know is I will have fun finding out!
I'm not hot or gorgeous. I don't have an amazing figure or a flat stomach. I'm far from being considered a model, but I'm me. I eat food. I have curves. I have more fat than I should. I have scars, I have a history. Some people love me, some like me, some hate me. I have done good, I have done bad. I love my PJs and I go without makeup. I'm random and crazy. I don't pretend to be someone I'm not. I am silly and serious. I like to curl up with a good book just as much as spending a day riding roller coasters. I love doing things outdoors, but I am just fine with my paleness (SPF 50 is my friend). I am looking for someone that makes me want to spend time with them, even if its just playing video games or watching a movie. Friendship is a strong foundation. I'm looking for someone who can brave the uncomfortable silence, but knows how and when to break it. I don't mind sporting events, but if I go you need to be willing to go to a show or play with me. Don't mock my musicals I won't mock your fantasy league. You need to be able to chill on the couch but be ready to go if the fancy strikes.

Hanging with friends. Amusement parks are always a good idea. And of course, travel of any kind!
I don't mind staying in but I love going out with friends and family. I crave adventure but I need to be able to chill sometimes.

Many cities in the United States have seen a temporary economic boost from the discovery of gold. Seattle, however, capitalized on the discovery of gold in a nearby location. When the 1897 discovery of gold in Alaska sparked the Klondike Gold Rush, Seattle merchants quickly moved to present the city as a center for supplies and transportation.
Seattle's population doubled in ten years. The transformation from a timber town into a shipping center had begun, and the city soon became the economic heart of the region.

The Department of Homeland Security is ramping up a cloud make-over for the enterprise talent management system (ETMS) that tracks employee skills and administrative housekeeping capabilities for eight operational agencies, DHS headquarters facilities and 250,000 employees.
The ETMS will be supported by one of the first shared services models implemented at DHS under the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP), said Terry Miller, chief operating officer at Visionary Integration Professionals (VIP). FedRAMP provides federal IT with a framework for security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. VIP was the only FedRAMP-certified bidder for the project, said VIP CEO Jonna Ward.
VIP teamed with its Meridian Knowledge Solutions subsidiary to win the $95 million single-award blanket purchase agreement from DHS. VIP is the prime contractor for the BPA and will supply IT services, including software planning and analysis, design, integration and testing. VIP's wholly-owned Meridian subsidiary will deliver the ETMS software, technical support and ongoing customer service to DHS.
Ward said the new system will take over the duties of four ETMS platforms now used at DHS. One system, at Customs and Border Protection, is already provided by VIP, she said.
DHS' Washington headquarters will be the next site where it will be installed, with follow-ons at the remaining agencies, Ward said. "Each component agency has its own project manager to convert" to the new system. ETMS rollout will be done in waves, but should be completed in less than a year, she said. Once the cloud-based platform is installed across DHS headquarters and the agency's eight operational components (CBP, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Citizenship and Immigration Services, Secret Service, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Coast Guard, Transportation Security Administration and Federal Law Enforcement Training Center) it will provide a single platform to analyze employee skills and track talent, according to Miller.
The conversion will alter some user interfaces depending on the agency, said Ward, but not substantially. The big difference, she said, will be in pricing and capabilities. The shared services pricing is a per-user cost annually. That per-user cost will decrease as the number of users increases across the department, she said.

Mark - The statement the VIP CEO was quoted as saying isn't entirely accurate: "VIP was the only FedRAMP-certified bidder for the project". VIP does not hold a FedRAMP ATO. VIP teamed with CGI Federal, who will provide the underlying IaaS infrastructure, which does have a FedRAMP ATO. However, this does not elevate FedRAMP requirements for the VIP application. To have a FedRAMP complaint solution per OMB and FedRAMP guidance, both the underlying infrastructure and the SaaS application require FedRAMP ATO.

Cleveland Cavaliers: A 3D Mapped Court Display
Cleveland Cavaliers: A 3D Mapped Court Display
On Saturday, March 8, 2014, the Cleveland Cavaliers retired the jersey of Zydrunas Ilgauskas. In honor of the retired center, Quince Imaging and Think Media teamed up with the Cavs to produce a one-of-a-kind projection display event.
Using a combination of 3D mapping techniques paired with images and video, the court's surface and surrounding screens were transformed into an "immersive video environment."
Instead of merely overlaying the existing court graphics, the video and imaging designers incorporated the logo, lines and divisions of the Quicken Loans Arena floor into the presentation. Sections drop in and out convincingly and interact with type, video and image elements. The sound effects are snappy and support the designed effects well, while the video clips display amazingly clear and transition seamlessly.
Sixteen HD projectors drove the display system and created a vivid pixel space of 3600 x 1878. Fans could participate and react to the display by live tweeting their thoughts on two large 16' x 28' projection screens mounted at the top of the stadium.

The Sleeper and the Spindle by Neil Gaiman
Neil Gaiman's latest offering defies the conventions of your typical fairy tale not just in content but format as well. You won't be able to sit down and read this to your child in one sitting as despite the multiple illustrations, for the story is lengthy and the font small.
Perhaps then it's better described as a fairy tale for adults, though I've always shied away from putting age restrictions on these types of stories. Let's go with calling it an illustrated short story that will be highly enjoyed by people of all ages with an interest in dark and twisted fairy tales.
The Queen of a faraway land is about to be married, at least until the arrival of three dwarfs bringing her news of events in the neighbouring kingdom. A sleeping curse has been laid upon a fair princess, but rather than the spell remaining confined to the castle in which she slumbers, it ... Read More

Spellcasting in Silk: Another great audio installment
Spellcasting in Silk by Juliet Blackwell
Think of Juliet Blackwell's WITCHCRAFT MYSTERY series as paranormal cozy mysteries. Each stands alone and deals with a relatively non-gory murder committed by a seemingly upstanding member of the San Francisco Haight-Ashbury community where Lily Ivory owns a vintage clothing shop. Being a witch, Lily has some amateur detective skills that Carlos Romero, the handsome local homicide detective, finds helpful. In each installment, Lily, who can be a little nosey (as any amateur detective is), helps solve the case. As the series advances, new characters are added, Lily's business grows, and her love life evolves. Although each murder mystery stands alone, I recommend reading the WITCHCRAFT MYSTERIES in order so that you don't miss Lily's character development.
I would also highly (highly!) recommend that you read these in audio format, even if you're ... Read More

Slow Bullets by Alastair Reynolds
Slow Bullets is the latest addition to Alastair Reynolds' impressive body of work, a slim novella which he manages to fill with plausible far-future technology, interstellar war, and questions of identity and legacy.
Scurelya "Scur" Timsuk Shunde is a soldier for the Peripheral Systems, which are at war with the Central Worlds. One of the central points of conflict are the Books which each side holds sacred; while never explicitly named, the Books share several common tenets, and are clearly religious in nature. This war has gone on for a long time, ranging across countless star systems, but a ceasefire has finally been declared. Of course, after extended periods of conflict, it can be difficult to convince people that peace has been achieved. Orvin, a vicious war criminal who is wanted by both sides, captures Scur and implants a modified "slow bu... Read More
Dark Eden: Lord of the Flies in Space
Dark Eden by Chris Beckett
Chris Beckett's Dark Eden has a backstory to rival the book of Genesis. Several generations ago, two humans, Tommy and Gela, survived a crash-landing on a planet without a sun. The planet was not devoid of life or light, though; glowing plants and animals survived by feeding off of the planet's thermal energy. On this new planet, which they called Eden, Tommy and Gela have children, becoming the Adam and Eve of a new race of humans.
Now, generations later, their progeny, several dozen people, many of whom are afflicted with birth defects and called "batfaces" or "clawfeet," live huddled together in a relatively safe area of Eden, frightened to explore beyond the snowy mountains or deep waters that border their land. A young man, John Redlantern, wants to change that. Defying the orders of the clan's leader, David, the charismatic John gathers a group of dissenters... Read More
Sunday Status Update: July 5, 2015
On the road again this week, so character update is on break.
Brad: This week I read and reviewed the first volume of The Tarot Cafe by Sang-Sun Park. I've also been reading some short stories by Harlan Ellison (it seems like I'm always finding my way back to his short stories). I'm also reading The Greater Trumps by Charles Williams, because I'll read just about anything that involves tarot cards! In comics, I've just started Batman Eternal, a recently-ended weekly series put out by DC. I'm also enjoying some old Dr. Fate comics, too. Rachel Pollack has been teaching me about Tarot cards through several of her works, including Tarot Wisdom. And I've been greatly moved by Read More

The Tarot Café (Volume 1) by Sang-Sun Park is a light manhwa that is a pleasant read, particularly if the reader has any interest in Tarot cards. The story is straight-forward: Pamela, the owner of the Tarot Café, is a psychic who provides readings during the day for the regular clientele one would expect to seek out psychic help. However, at night she assists an unusual set of customers, including in this first volume a Cat, a... Read More
Film Review: The Tingler
The Tingler: This movie really IS a scream!
In 1958, director William Castle delivered to the world a film that has been chilling the collective backbones of horror buffs for over half a century now: House on Haunted Hill. And the following year, in one of the greatest one-two punches in horror history, Castle came up with a film that is certainly every bit as good, and perhaps, arguably, even better. In The Tingler, Castle brought back much of his team from the previous picture — leading man Vincent Price, screenwriter Robb White, composer Von Dexter — and again shot his production in uber-creepy B&W (with the notable exception of one scene, in which the color red features prominently). The result was another horror masterpiece (this one with some decided sci-fi overtones), another compact chiller for the ages, and another film in which Castle's gift for gimmickry was memorably on display. But whereas House works well... Read More
Serafina and the Black Cloak: Plot problems outweigh engaging protagonist
Serafina and the Black Cloak by Robert Beatty
Serafina and the Black Cloak, a Middle Grade book by Robert Beatty, has its moments, but a thin plot, a meandering middle segment, and several gaps of logic/plausibility come close to outweighing its positives, and probably will outweigh them for any readers older than middle grade.
Set at the opulent Biltmore Estate in 1899 (and having been there, oh my, is it opulent), the story is centered on a sudden rash of disappearances amongst the children at the Estate. Serafina, is the young daughter of the mechanic at the Estate, and the two of them, for reasons that are a mystery to Serafina, live secretly in the basement of the mansion. While her father is well known to Vanderbilt (her dad is responsible for maintaining the dynamo that provides the home with the then new-fangled electricity), Serafina's existence is known to none. Their secret, ho... Read More
Red Planet: A children's adventure on Mars
Red Planet by Robert A. Heinlein
I've mentioned several times how much I loved Robert A. Heinlein's "Juveniles" when I was a kid. I found them on my dad's bookshelves (I don't think he's ever gotten rid of a book) and I read some of them several times. If you had asked me last week which was my favorite, I would have said "Red Planet." I remember loving this book, though all I could recall about it was a cute fuzzy round alien named Willis who bounces around like a basketball, and a couple of boys crossing the desolate landscape of Mars.
Last week, with much anticipation, I downloaded Red Planet (1949) from Audible so that I could listen to it with my 12 year old daughter, Tali. I was so excited to share this story with her. In the opening scene we met Willis, and Tali loved him as mu... Read More

WV Historical Markers - Let's Find All 700

West Virginia has provided so much that I have enjoyed for so long, this "Motorsickle Marker Madness" is an easy, enjoyable means of giving a little back. It involves a lot of my favorite things--map study, weather study, history research, a little motorcycle maintenance, finding out who has good coffee and WIFI, and, best of all, a ride with a purpose. Not that I don't like an aimless ride. Most of my miles have been just that...aimless. This will get me into areas I have not ventured into before. I'm laying out some "2-dayers" for next summer. Looking on maps for places to camp, connecting twisty roads with historical markers.
The pnoman has taken on a significant undertaking, managing this collection of markers, passing information on to concerned agencies, and dealing with the collective that makes up ADVrider. If sentenced to this task by the courts, the ACLU would rise to his defense, claiming cruel and unusual punishment.
We ain't put a dent in this project yet. With over 700 of these signs sticking up all over the place, Stevie Wonder could get his limit by lunch.

Former State Sen. Milton Marks, who represented San Francisco in the Legislature through 38 years, died Friday of heart failure at the age of 78.
Marks, who left the Senate in 1996 because of term limits, had been in poor health for several years and had been hospitalized at UC Medical Center in San Francisco when he died.
Marks was an old-style politician who believed in the personal touch: He sent a congratulatory letter to every high school graduate in his district, and condolence messages when there was a death in the family. He went to weddings, funerals, bar mitzvahs, baptisms, anniversaries, store openings, and just about any other gathering where he could shake hands.
"They say if there are three people in one room, one of them will be Milton Marks," Marks once joked. Referring to his campaigning stamina, he often boasted of attending 14 dinners in a single night, "and I didn't even eat."

- Studio: New Yorker Films
- Release Date: Jun 22, 2006
- Summary: A plotless look at life in Sri Lanka.
- Director: Vimukthi Jayasundara
- Genre(s): Drama
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 5 out of 6
Mixed: 1 out of 6
Negative: 0 out of 6
Sparse of dialogue and plot (think Andrei Tarkovsky), the import - named best first film at Cannes 2005 - has to do with Sri Lanka's unending civil war and it's devastating effect on residents of a barren no man's land.
There's poetry in The Forsaken Land -- not the written kind (there's barely any dialogue) -- but visual poetry replete with still, painterly compositions and finely nuanced lighting.
Mr. Jayasundara studied film in France and has probably watched his share of classic European art cinema. Although his influences may originate closer to home (in interviews he has name dropped the venerated Sri Lankan auteur Lester James Peries), his use of landscape to convey states of mind suggests that he has more than a passing acquaintance with the work of Michelangelo Antonioni.
Beautiful but withholding, The Forsaken Land doesn't offer much in the way of explanation -- the soundtrack features more birdcalls than dialogue -- but the 27-year-old filmmaker's command of film language is evident and his evocation of postwar trauma is haunting.
Jayasundara dispenses with conventional story pacing to alternate long, static scenes with moments of revelatory lust or violence; as a press release states, the movie is "composed of uncanny set pieces portraying sex, death, and waiting," though its aesthetic achievement may lie in making all three feel like the same thing.

PR AGENCY CONTACT: COMPANY PRESS CONTACT: Clyne Media, Inc. Kati Naish Tel: 615.662.1616 Tel: 425.402.6108 Email: email@example.com Email: firstname.lastname@example.com Web: www.clynemedia.com/EAW Web: www.eaw.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE South Africa-Based Northwind Recording Selects EAW® Loudspeakers for CTMI Church in Trianon, Mauritius ® Whitinsville, MA, USA, February 17, 2010 – EAW , a world leader in audio system solutions, was recently chosen as the loudspeaker of choice for a house-of-worship installation at CTMI Church in the town of Trianon, near Port Louis in the island nation of Mauritius. Durban, South Africa-based Northwind Recording provided the system design, analyzed the space's acoustics and performed the installation. EAW's South African distributor Surgesound supplied the equipment and managed all processing and system alignment. Further consultation was provided by EAW's Whitinsville, Massachusetts-based Application Support Group (ASG), under the management of Joe Fustolo. EAW loudspeakers selected for the space included 15 EAW AX366 and AX344 Arrayable Install Loudspeakers, six EAW JF50S Compact Full-Range Loudspeakers, eight EAW SB1000z Large Format Subwoofers, five EAW MW12 MicroWedge Stage Monitors and two EAW UX8800 Digital Signal Processors. Amplification was provided by ten Lab.gruppen FP+ Series amplifiers and one Lab.gruppen PLM 10000Q Powered Loudspeaker Management System. The EAW AX Series models were arranged in a low-profile, aesthetically pleasing design in two arcs following the contour of the church. The JF50S units were used as lip fill. Four SB1000z subs were ground stacked, and the remaining four were flown, using different high pass filter (HPF), low pass filter (LPF) and delays to create a constant low frequency response throughout the church. The MicroWedge 12 monitors were spaced along the edge of the stage. Northwind Recording principal Niklas Fairclough is a firm supporter of the EAW brand, having completed three previous installations in South Africa using EAW AX Series Arrayable Install Loudspeakers. Fairclough commented, "When we tested the system, we were blown away. With an SPL of 110 dB at the front-of-house position, the system sounded superb and very clean, and we still had massive headroom available."

If you'd like to know more, let me know. I have been in Dallas for about a year and half now; Staying active is extremely important to me and I enjoy running and events like Warrior Dash. My goal is to do at least three 5ks a year; so far so good. I'm über competitive, whether it's Bar Trivia or playing Catchphrase at home. With that, I also love hiking and biking on trails (need a new bike) I know my way around a joke, it is my best quality. I like to think I know my way around the kitchen, I take foodies not selfies. I believe in the strong family and Christian values I was raised on growing up. Work and the gym occupy a lot of my time at the moment; I keep my close friends to productive, ambitious people that bring something to the table. I don't like to divulge into deep personal traits, but I see myself as a genuine, extroverted, strong hearted individual.

Some new fast food offerings are easy to identify as bad choices simply by their name.
FoodFacts.com puts the new Burger King A.1. Hearty Mozzarella Cheeseburger squarely in that category. There's very little way to imagine that this could be remotely passable as a "less bad" fast food option.
It gets worse when you read the description on their website: "Features two ¼ lb. savory flame-grilled beef patties, topped with thick-cut smoked bacon, melted Mozzarella cheese, fresh chopped lettuce, crisp cut onions, and featuring savory A.1.®Thick & Hearty sauce, all on a warm, toasted, brioche-style bun." Bacon, mozzarella, A1 sauce, brioche style bun. FoodFacts.com could easily be reading: controversial ingredients, extra fat and calories, controversial ingredients, controversial ingredients.
Let's find out what's in there:
Nutrition Facts:
Calories: 800
Fat: 48 grams
Saturated Fat: 21 grams
Sodium: 1420 mg.
That's a lot of calories, fat, saturated fat and sodium for one burger. We didn't even get to the fries yet – which will most certainly push the sodium content of this meal well over the daily recommended intake. It's pretty bad.
What do the ingredients look like?
BRIOCHE-STYLE BUN: Unbleached Enriched Flour (Wheat Flour, Malted Barley Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamin Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Yeast, Dried Honey Blend (Cane Refinery Syrup and Honey), Soybean Oil, Contains 2% or less of each of the following: Salt, Wheat Gluten, Dextrose, Monocalcium Phosphate, Calcium Sulfate, Natural Flavors, Monoglycerides, Ascorbic Acid, Enzymes, Sunflower Oil, Vegetable Proteins, Wheat Maltodextrins, Calcium Phosphate, Wheat Dextrose, Corn Starch, Soy Lecithin, Soy Flour, Calcium propionate (to retard spoilage). HAMBURGER PATTIES : 100% USDA inspected Ground Beef (Fire-Grilled), THICK SLICED BACON: Cured with Water, Salt, Sugar, Sodium Phosphate, Sodium Erythorbate, Sodium Nitrite. MOZZARELLA CHEESE SLICED (PROCESSED): Cultured Milk, Skim Milk, Water, Cream, Whey, Sodium Citrate, Salt, Sorbic Acid (Preservative), Natural Flavor, Enzymes, Soy Lecithin, A.1.® STEAK SAUCE: Tomato Puree (Water, Tomato Paste), High Fructose Corn Syrup, Vinegar, Corn Syrup, Salt, Raisin Paste, Orange Puree, Spice, Xanthan Gum, Dried Onions, Dried Garlic, Caramel Color., Lettuce, Onion
While FoodFats.com can understand that this new burger might sound good to some, we're really unhappy with the nutrition facts and the ingredient list certainly leaves something to be desired.
It's summertime. Get out and fire up a grill. Choose some healthy toppings for your burger. Change it up with turkey or chicken. You'll be doing your body a healthy favor. We're also positive it will taste a lot better, too.

The German Book Office recently chose Eros by Helmut Krausser as its book pick for July.
Krausser's book—which doesn't actually release until mid-August, though you could pre-order copies now—is coming out from Europa Editions and sounds pretty interesting:
Alexander von Brücken, an ageing millionaire, invites an unknown author into his mansion to record his life story. From there the novel plunges back into Germany's past when Hitler's Third Reich is on the brink of failure. In an air raid shelter, Alexander falls desperately in love with a girl named Sofie. She flees with her family, but she is never able to completely escape from Alexander's grasp. Odd coincidences and fortuitous circumstances find their way into Sofie's life, and Alexander with his wealth and power lurks in the background. Krausser examines the limits of wealth and the limitless power of unrequited love in this novel. Despite the vast geographical and chronological spaces that the story sweeps through, Alexander's obsession with Sofie shines more vividly than all the surrounding elements. With the unknown author narrating this seductive and darkly fascinating story, the reader also wonders if Alexander's perspective and telling of his past have been skewed by years of longing and frustration.
This is the only the second of Krausser's books to make it's way into English, the first being The Great Bagarozy. Looking at the stats, I know that there's a one in a million chance (you know, give or take a few hundred thousand) for a foreign author to be published in English, yet this one sort of surprises me.
In addition to Eros and The Great Bagarozy, Krausser has a book called Fat World (a sample translation of which has been making the rounds) and another called Ultrachronos (or simply UC) that's described as such:
UC, or Ultrachronos, is a certain way of perceiving the world shortly before death: it is a moment, a single instant, wherein you watch your entire life, but not just the events that actually happened, you also see the events which could have happened. Krausser's new novel Ultrachronos is both a tale of a man's seemingly unshakeable existence – as a successful conductor, as an arrogant adulterer – and the story of a man viewing his own Ultrachronos. The reader sees the main character as he flees from his past – and as he meets Kurthes, a writer and guru, who seems to know everything about him and who wants to give him an eerie part in his new book…Helmut Krausser, the critically acclaimed author of several novels, theater-plays, poems, diaries, and opera libretti, works with the instruments of a crime novel, but this book goes much deeper into the borderland of our existence.
It's possible Europa is doing more of his titles . . . Regardless, Eros sounds intriguing and is definitely something we'll review as soon as it's available (you know, give or take a month or two).
Founded in 1960 by such creative pioneers as George Perec, Raymond Queneau and Italo Calvino, the Oulipo, shorthand for Ouvroir de littérature potentielle, came about in when a group of writers and mathematicians sought constraints to find new structures and. . .
There's little to say about a series of prose poems that willfully refuse to identify pronoun antecedents. Or perhaps there are a million things. The poems in Morse, My Deaf Friend— the chapbook by Miloš Djurdjević published by Ugly Duckling. . .
The Crimson Thread of Abandon is the first collection of short fiction available in English by the prolific Japanese writer and all-around avant-garde trickster Terayama Shūji, who died in 1983 at the age of 47. This collection would be important. . .
Last year, NYRB Classics introduced English-language readers to Catalan writer Josep Pla with Peter Bush's translation of The Gray Notebook. In that book, Pla wrote about life in Spain during an influenza outbreak soon after World War I, when. . .
"Your bile is stagnant, you see sorrow in everything, you are drenched in melancholy," my friend the doctor said.

Anthony Paquet's Design
Design. The obverse features Paquet's design with a seated figure of Liberty facing left, a fasces supported by her right hand and a shield by her left hand. Around the margin are 13 stars and below is the date. An eagle is partially hidden by the shield. The reverse design has a heavy wreath that encloses the date, the denomination 20 DOLLARS, and legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The lettering is Paquet's distinctive style, apparently not used by any other engravers. Struck in copper and gilt with a reeded edge.
Commentary. Our auction archives record 15 appearances of this pattern variety, including nine gilt examples. This example is tied with one other piece for the finest gilt specimen we have handled.
Physical Description. Sharply struck with bright yellow surfaces showing a few spots and marks on each side, including die striations and faint hairlines. The appearance suggests the planchet was gilt prior to striking, unlike others that were plated afterward.

I wish to create several small programs for the sake of testing and experimentation using an external library (SDL in this case). It is a bit of a tedious process to set everything up, so I would prefer not to have to do it repeatedly.
I would like to know if there is an easy way to either:
- create a template that I can apply every time I wish to start a new project, such that the relevant include directories, etc. have already been added, or
- copy/create a revision of an existing project so that it changes its name/target directories, etc. automatically, allowing me to work with several versions simultaneously.

Jerry York and the Boston College Eagles took down Hockey East rival Merrimack 4-2 on Friday night, putting themselves in even better position for the Hockey East tournament but more importantly giving York his long coveted 900th career victory. York was proud of the achievement after the game, as he is only the second college hockey coach all time to accomplish the feat, but remained his normal humble self playing down the significance and looking forward to the rest of the season with his players. Check out the video above to see York talk about his historic accomplishment.
