A victory eluded him, but Grafton's Nic Fullington stayed in the thick of a sprint title chase with the state's elite last Saturday.
The senior placed third in the 55-meter dash at the Wisconsin Track and Field Association State Indoor Meet in Whitewater.
Fullington was clocked at 6.65 seconds, trailing only Franklin's Josh Iraci (6.48) and Whitefish Bay's Evan Murray (6.61) in an event that had 61 entrants.
In the preliminaries, Fullington's second-place time of 6.59 broke his own Grafton boys' record.
"I thought Nic ran well," Grafton coach Kevin Kriegel said. "He's been a little banged up, and the third race of the day kind of caught up with him."
Fullington's performance gave the Black Hawks their six points in the meet, good for a share of 25th place among 44 teams that scored.
Grafton had two other participants in the meet, which was limited to athletes who met qualifying standards.
Junior Max Jensen finished 55th out of 77 entrants in the 1,600 run (4:46.97), and teammate Gordy Thompson, a sophomore, was 56th (4:47.15). Both times were indoor personal bests.
Port Washington had five athletes in the boys' meet, including three in the 1,600.
Senior Nick Bath finished 39th (a personal-best 4:41.39), followed by senior Max Noll in 67th (a season-best 4:51.25) and junior Ben Claas in 69th (a personal-best 4:52.44).
Also representing Port were brothers Eli and Nolan Olson in the 400 dash. Eli, a senior, was 36th (55.44), and Nolan, a junior, was 41st (56.14). Both had season-best times.
"They all ran well," Port coach Mark Pasten said. "It gave them a chance to be part of some great competition."
Port had the only local athletes in the girls' portion of the meet.
The Pirates' top finish came from sophomore Alexis Reichardt, who tied for 12th in the high jump (4 feet, 10 inches).
Questions linger for the Grafton boys' tennis team following its season opener at the Brown Deer Invitational last Saturday, but one thing is certain.
The Black Hawks have plenty of talent and depth as they prepare for North Shore Conference competition and beyond.
Despite the unavailability of several players, Grafton scored three 6-1 wins in the rain-shortened tournament, defeating Greenfield, GreendaleMartin Luther and Whitefish Bay Dominican.
"I was concerned about our depth going into the meet but I'm pleased now," Hawks coach Nick Kassens said.
"We've got some good seniors and some younger players who are going to contribute. It's a very competitive situation."
Senior Sam Bucheger is back at No. 1 singles for the Hawks and posted a 2-1 tournament record.
With juggled lineups, Grafton didn't have anyone else play at the same position throughout the day. However, Kassens said several team members have emerged as leading candidates for starting roles.
In addition to Bucheger, the top singles players include seniors Tommy Makela and Allen Zhukov and junior Tyler Otto.
In doubles, seniors Jon Kottke and Michael Rathke are the frontrunners at No. 1.
Seniors Brian Gilson and Christian Rowland have the inside track at No. 2, and senior Rahul Chityala and junior Alan Olivas are vying for the No. 3 spot.
"We lost a bunch of players to graduation, but that gives other players opportunities," said Kassens, who has nearly 30 players in the program.
Among the graduates were Ben Bauman, Andrew Mosin, Rob Neuser, Sam Herlache and Alex Keefe. Bauman and Mosin played No. 1 doubles.
Inclement weather wiped out the first day of last weekend's tournament, which will not be completed.
How well Grafton's varsity newcomers play will be a key in determining if the team can improve on last year's conference showing. The Hawks were sixth in the NSC tournament and overall standings.
It took some hard-hitting offense, but the Port Washington softball team overcame uncooperative weather and a pair of foes last week.
After having their first three games of the season postponed, the Pirates outslugged Milwaukee Lutheran and Whitefish Bay in North Shore Conference play.
Most recently, a fast start propelled Port to a 14-4 road win at Bay in a five-inning game April 7.
The Pirates scored seven runs in the first and held a 14-2 lead after three innings on the way to a mercy-rule win.
"We hit the ball pretty decently," said Port coach Bob Snook, whose squad outhit the Blue Dukes, 11-4.
Lizzie Egan, Emily Egan and Amanda Kaiser each had two hits. Kaiser drove in three runs, and Egan had two RBI.
The Pirates were also aided by five Bay errors.
Port had three errors but held the Dukes in check behind the strong pitching of Kate Snook. The junior scattered four hits, struck out 11 and walked two.
Port 13, Milwaukee Lutheran 6
Madalyn Smith's grand slam helped the Pirates secure a season-opening road win April 5.
Port, which scored in all but one inning, held a 4-2 lead after the fourth. After adding two runs in the fifth, the Pirates broke things open with a six-run sixth, highlighted by Smith's homer.
Port collected nine hits, including two apiece by Snook and Lizzie Egan.
Snook pitched a complete game for the win. Battling through cold, wind and hail, she allowed four hits, struck out 14 and walked seven.
"The weather was tough," coach Snook said.
"We had a few mistakes but did pretty well for the first game, especially under the conditions."
The Pirates' nonconference home game against Sheboygan South last Saturday was postponed. Makeup dates for that contest and postponed games against Campbellsport (March 29) and Sheboygan Falls (March 31) are pending.
This week, Port was scheduled to face Cedarburg on Tuesday, play a 4:30 p.m. game Thursday at Homestead and participate in a tournament at Fond du Lac High School on Saturday. On April 19, the Pirates will host Grafton at 4:30 p.m.

Product Description~Studio: Tcfhe Release Date: 01/27/2009 Run time: 157 minutes Rating: Nr|Amazon.com~Most star vehicles center on one individual, but The Rocker doubles as a showcase for singer Teddy Geiger and The Office's Rainn Wilson. After his band, Vesuvius, kicks him to the curb, Cleveland drummer Robert "Fish" Fishman (Wilson) spends the next 20 years working in a cubicle and mourning for what might've been, while Vesuvius (Will Arnett, Bradley Cooper, and Fred Armisen) goes on to fame, fortune, and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. After Fish loses his job, he moves in with his sister (Jane Lynch) and her husband (Curb Your Enthusiasm's Jeff Garlin). As it turns out, Fish's nephew, Matt (21's Josh Gad), plays keyboards with guitarist Curtis (Geiger) and bassist Amelia (Superbad's Emma Stone). When Fish finds out that ADD needs a stickman to play the senior prom, he offers his services. After a bumpy start, their styles--hair metal and power-pop--start to gel, and they hit the road (SNL's Jason Sudeikis offers hilarious value as their hipster manager). During their first tour, Fish becomes an older brother figure to the fatherless Curtis and a potential love interest for his mother (Christina Applegate). Written by Maya Forbes (The Larry Sanders Show) and Wally Wolodarsky (The Simpsons) and directed by Peter Cattaneo (The Full Monty), The Rocker doesn't break the mold for unlikely success stories--think Rock Star or School of Rock--but it's hard not to root for Wilson's sweet slob (and Geiger isn't bad either). --Kathleen C.

Okay look. I'm only going to explain this once so follow me:1) Game is coded and put onto disc.2) It is then shipped out to retailers or online stores without being tested.3) Fans buy the game and find glitches/bugs and rage about them on forums such as gamefaqs.4) The developers see the complaints and fix the problems with something called a "patch"..although you can only get this online. Tough luck for you and your friends.5) As a thank you for testing the game the developers release new content (called DLC)..which we also must buy and test.6) The cycle continues until the final DLC which we test but get nothing in return, only the developer running away with our money.The end.
If Reach was any indication, they (MS, Bungie, 343, pretty much any 360 dev) don't really care about couch Co-op anymore. Or LAN. It's quite sad, but yeah, don't expect anything to be done about it. They'll happily sacrifice splitscreen play for better graphics, since the latter sells better.

Photo exhibit looks at gritty scenes for a reason
I've been at this long enough to have run across a few journalists who fall into a separate category. I think many of us relate to them, but they are different. They're the ones who run the police scanner at home in the hopes of being the first to a crime scene in the middle of the night. They're the ones who not only volunteer to cover violent uprisings, but want to.
These are people who want to put their face right down into human devastation for a good, hard look. The notebooks and cameras are often just shields, the objects that give them license to be there. »Read Full Blog Post

On Tap Today: An unsung director gets his due
Have you ever heard of Rouben Mamoulian? I thought I had a pretty thorough database of important directors stored up in my brain, but this name eluded me until today.
But reading just a bit about his life and career accomplishments, it's clear that he deserves his due. One of his first claims to fame was directing a theatrical production of "Porgy" featuring an African-American cast -- in 1926. He was also the director that brought "Oklahoma!" to Broadway -- leading to a career in cinema that included directing Hollywood's first Technicolor feature, "Becky Sharp," in 1935, and ahead-of-their time techniques including overlapping dialogue. A native of what was Russian-ruled Georgia, Mamoulian also witnessed the Bolshevik Revolution -- and he was targeted during the Hollywood blacklist era in the '50s. »Read Full Blog Post

Adobe Publishes Flash Specs, Promotes Mobile Devices
In the scope of the Open Screen project Adobe has facilitated the use of Flash on mobile devices. At the same time, Adobe now offers the SWF and FLV specifications as a PDF download.
Whereas software vendors were previously required to pay licensing fees to Adobe for using Flash technology on mobile devices, this obstacle will be removed with the next Flash release.
Adobe has also facilitated access to the SWF and FLV specifications. Previously, Adobe required developers to sign a license agreement before releasing this information, developers now have unconditional access. Adobe will also be looking to open the Flash player API for porting to mobile devices in the scope of the Open Screen project.
Adobe's Open Screen project is targeted at the mobile device market. It is supported by vendors such as ARM, Intel and Motorola, but also by content providers such as the BBC, MTV and NBC. Shantanu Narayen, Adobe's CEO said he was convinced that this would provide a consistent, and more open platform for rapid development of innovations to the benefit of users. Stefan Weigl, Adobe's spokesperson in Germany emphasized that Adobe mainly made money on the Flash CS3 Professional developer environment.
Despite open specifications, the two formats are not under a free software license. The Gnash player on Linux gives developers a free alternative to the Flash player. Although it does not support the full feature scope of the Flash Player, it is under constant development.

Hi All,
I have a problem with wordpress admin.
When I gave "Update Post", it is not doing an update instead it is waiting forever and finally shows a blank screen. Similarly, if i edit the theme files from Edit Themes and on giving a "Update File" behaves the same (the browser status shows "Waiting sitename.com.....") and finally ends up with a blank screen.
i believe some write operation is not happening to the database or its deadlocked somewhere, i am able to browse through my site it works fine.
i am using the latest WP ver 2.8, i tried re-install WP from "Upgrade" page but still the problem exists.
It looks strange, in the morning i was able to do a post but by night when i tried this is happening. in between i changed nothing.
Help me, what i could do now ? my URL is emoneymakingonline dot com.

You never hear from them again or when you pester them for your animal, thousand excuses are given and they start raising up your hopes again and again, you get slapped down again.
Deposits they steal from you start out at $2500.00. That is their standard deposit for a monkey. Many other people are on Lisa's list of getting ripped off.
Lisa will tell you she will deliver the animal to you but this is just another "stalling" routine she has. We have all gathered together in creating a web site because of Monkeys-N-More to try and stop this store from selling and abusing their animals.

New Grinderman single
Out 13 June 2011
"I was Mickey Mouse! He was the big bad wolf!"
Mickey Mouse and the Goodbye Man, the new single from Grinderman, will be released on 13 June 2011. Taken from their critically acclaimed second studio album Grinderman 2, Mickey Mouse and the Goodbye Man will be available as a download and 12″. Along with the album version of Mickey Mouse and the Goodbye Man, the 12″ format will include exclusive tracks and a brand new Josh Homme remix.
"The song is about the kind of origins of extremism, terrorism. Of envy and isolation. Mickey Mouse represents the weaker, feminine, comic side of us, and the big bad wolf is the masculine side." – Nick Cave
View the trailer for the hand drawn pencil and crayon on paper, frame by frame animated video by Ilinca Höpfner to Mickey Mouse and the Goodbye Man at ilihoepfner.de
"It's quite fitting that that song has an animated video because the yin-yang extremes there of the two brothers are Mickey Mouse and the big bad wolf; those are kind of cartoonish characters, so it all fits in very nicely." – Jim Sclavunos
The video is by Ilinca Höpfner whose artwork is featured in Grinderman 2. Recently out of German art school, she was discovered when she sent a black and white video for a Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds track to Nick Cave. Nick then called her to ask her to do one for a Grinderman track. "She has done this incredible job of it. Her drawings are really gorgeous things." – Nick Cave. The rest, as they say, is history.
Grinderman play Spanish festival Primavera on 26 May and will play the UK on 24 July as part of the I'll Be Your Mirror event (co-curated by Portishead and All Tomorrow's Parties) at Alexandra Palace. Tickets are on sale at atpfestival.com
For a full list of their summer festival dates visit grinderman.com
Grinderman are Nick Cave, Warren Ellis, Martyn Casey and Jim Sclavunos.

State Senate president asks Time Warner to lower bills in WTMJ blackout
Wisconsin Senate President Mike Ellis (R-Neenah) has sent a letter to Time Warner Cable asking that it lower the bills of customers affected by the blackout of three stations in the retransmission dispute with Journal Broadcast Group.
"My intention is not to take sides but rather to look out for my constituents in this dispute," Ellis wrote. "It is clear your customers are no longer receiving the service they are paying for" and he urges Time Warner to "reduce their bills appropriately."

I say "spend my time" like I'm not a graduate student.
I really don't actually have much time that isn't accounted for on a syllabus somewhere.
I also have no interest in acting my age, frankly.
My second favorite movie genre, after "Stuff with Explosions" is female-lead high school dark comedies.
Though, honestly, I find high school/teen movies to just be another genre of sci-fi/fantasy.
I dunno, I'm kinda covered after that. Comics, probably. Written word in general. Clothes that fit. A comfortable bed. Something to play games on. Someone to talk to besides my dog.

Hello, just need to get something off my chest...The article in the Benton Courier today may be a little misleading.. Gary's Drive In is not closing.. The Benton community needs to know how we feel about the issue:
My name is Scottie Viall the owner of the Dairy Barn located inside Gary's Drive- In...My husband and I have been struggling for the last 6 months to start a small restaurant.something of our own..We started the Dairy Barn in the (old pines) this past summer we struggled all summer in a building with no air and electical problems and did we struggle but we kept working hard. everyday and I worked 60 hours a week at my day job and Bob worked the Dairy Barn 60 hours a week..We just want to work as a family and be together in our own business... We were making a name for ourselves and a good one... One day we get a phone call from the landlord of Gary's Drive In and was asked if we would like to move into Gary's. We are so excited we thought it was a great location and it had a gas grill and no electical problems which meant when we did get busy and the fryers and grill would not go out. This was a dream come true..We had never been in Gary's before..I have worked the last 25 years At denny's in little rock and raised my family..had no ideal about the history at Gary's...When we saw the place we are both very overwhlemed and shocked...There was so much cleaning and repairs, I started crying cause we had nothing left from starting The Dairy Barn..so we made a decision. We closed the old Dairy Barn and starting bringing Gary's back up to standards where it needed to be..It took 14 days of cleaning and repairing this restaurant and money we did not have..
I do not know what happend to the person before us and never have met this person but the condition of the building told us, this person lost his focus in Gary's and was tired of it..We are honored to be at Gary's Drive- In..It seems that every owner of Gary's has done something great in this place and now it is our turn...We have turned this restaurant around...This Drive-In has had no one really care about it for a long time..I believe the Benton community does care about this place..I know for us it means that we can support our family and be together more and provide jobs for people..Our only goal is to bring back pride to this place not to get rid of it..I am thankful for the Gary's and Bobby's that ran this place and worked here and passed it down to the new owners but this place needs a family that cares again and we care..Bob and I are working day and night at this place to make it great again and to be the place for the next generation to have the fond memories that the past generations have had...This wonderful restaurant is saving our family and allowing us to work togeher..For the first time in 25 years I can take my kids to school, make breakfast for them, or take days off for them and be with my husband more.We are still sturggling but that is okay.God has given us this opportunity and He makes all things possible .We are truely blessed and honored to be apart of Gary's Drive Inn...We will always be known as The Dariy Barn inside Gary's Drive Inn and that is okay with us..We will always give and serve the best to the Benton community..
Thank you,
Scottie Vaill

Posted on 07/16/2007 5:34:07 PM PDT by blam
Why Did Rome Fall? It's Time for New Answers
By Peter Heather
Mr. Heather is professor at Worcester College, University of Oxford, and the author of The Fall of the Roman Empire: A New History of Rome and the Barbarians (Oxford University Press).
The Roman Empire stretched from Hadrians Wall to northern Iraq, and from the mouth of the Rhine to the Atlas Mountains of North Africa. It was the largest state that western Eurasia has ever seen. It was also extremely long-lived. Roman power prevailed over most of these domains for five hundred years -- and all this in a period where the speed of bureaucratic functioning and of military response rattled along at 45 kilometres a day, something like one tenth of modern counterparts. Measured in terms of how long it took real people to get places, the Roman Empire was arguably ten times as big as it appears from the map.
The epic scale of the Empires existence has always sharpened interest in its collapse, particularly that of the west, which ceased to exist on the deposition of Romulus Augustulus in 476. Since Gibbon -- while some role has always been allocated to outside invaders -- explanation has tended to focus on a range of internal transformations and problems as the prime movers in the processes of Roman imperial collapse. By the mid-twentieth century, causation commonly concentrated upon preceding economic collapse.
This entire vision of late Roman economic collapse was based, however, on assorted references to hyper-inflation in the third century and to various problems associated with the raising of taxation in the fourth. It has been overturned since the 1970s, when archaeologists developed, for the first time, a method for sampling general levels of rural productivity. Modern ploughing bites deep into long-submerged stratigraphic layers, bringing to the surface much ancient pottery. Long-term regional survey projects spent long summers collecting every fragment in the target zones, and every winter analyzing the results. Once Roman pottery sequences became so well-known that many pots could be dated to within ten to twenty years, and excavations established what surface density of pottery was likely to reflect the existence of a settlement underneath, two things became possible. Dense pottery assemblages made it possible to estimate the number of Roman settlements in any region, and the dating patterns of those assemblages then made it possible to know when precisely any particular settlement had been occupied. Against all expectation, the fourth century immediately prior to fifth century collapse - has emerged as the period of maximum agricultural activity, not the minimum as the old views supposed, for the vast majority of the Empire. Total rural output, and hence total GIP gross imperial product was clearly higher in the later Roman period, than ever before. It is now no longer possible to explain fifth-century political collapse in terms of preceding economic crisis.
What the hyper-inflation was all about, in fact, was minting enough silver coins to pay an army which was increasing in size out of all proportion to the metalwork stock of silver available. And this, straightforwardly, was the product of exogenous shock. From the 230s onwards, the Sassanian dynasty reorganized a huge region of the Near East - Iraq and Iran in modern terms - to create a superpower rival to the Roman Empire. The new power announced itself with three massive victories over different Roman Emperors, the last of whom, Valerian, was first captured, then skinned and tanned after his death. The Persian threat was eventually countered by the end of the third century, but it took fifty years of military and fiscal adjustment to mobilize the necessary resources. This narrower vision of third-century crisis makes much more sense of the overwhelming archaeological evidence for fourth-century prosperity, and, of the brute fact that, even after the fall of the west in the fifth century, the eastern half of the Empire operating with the same institutions carried on successfully for centuries. It also poses Gibbons question again. If there is no sign of major dislocation within the late Roman imperial system of the fourth century, why did its western half collapse in the fifth?
Early in the third century, the traditional cast of small, largely Germanic groupings which had long confronted Roman power across its European frontiers was replaced by a smaller number of larger entities. This refashioning prevailed all along Romes European frontiers, from the new Frankish coalition at the mouth of the Rhine, to the Black Sea where Goths emerged as the new power in the land. As another large body of archaeological evidence has now shown, much more was afoot here than mere changes of name. In the course of the Roman period broadly the first four centuries AD central and northern Europe saw its own economic revolution. There was a massive increase in agricultural production, fuelled by an intensification of farming regimes, accompanied by unmistakable signs of increasing differentials in wealth and status between different sections of society, with an ever greater prominence being assumed by a militarized segment of the male population. It is these broader transformations which underlay the appearance of the new names on the other side of Romes frontiers, and most had been stimulated by economic, political and even cultural interactions with the Roman Empire. These new entities proved much more formidable than those they replaced, operating as only semi-subdued clients of the Empire. They did contribute to imperial armies on occasion, but also required regular Roman military campaigning and targeted foreign aid to willing kings to keep them in line. The balance of power in its favor, which had allowed the Roman Empire to come into existence, was being eroded not just by the Sassanians, but also by the new structures of non-Roman Europe.
Some important contingent sequences of events also contributed to the fall of the western Empire. From c.370, the nomadic Huns suddenly exploded to prominence on the eastern fringes of Europe, generating two major pulses of migration into the Roman world, one 376-80, the other 405-8. By 440, their different original components more than half a dozen in total - had coalesced into two major groupings, each much larger than any of the groups which had existed beyond the frontier in the fourth century: the Visigoths in southern Gaul, the Vandals in North Africa, both representing amalgamations of three separate immigrant groups of 10,000 warriors plus. The immigrants had in the process inflicted great damage on west Roman state structures, by first mincing its armies and then preventing their proper replacement either by ravaging or annexing key areas of its tax base. This in turn allowed Anglo-Saxons and Franks to take over former Roman territories in Britain and north-eastern Gaul, weakening the state still further. The immigrants also acted as alternative sources of political magnetism for local Roman elites. Given that Roman elites were all landowners, and could not therefore move their assets to more desirable locales, they were faced with little choice but to come to terms with immigrants as they became locally dominant, or risk losing their wealth. In this way, the west Roman state eventually withered to extinction, if not without vigorous martial efforts to restore its fortunes, as its revenues fell away and it could no longer put effective forces in the field.
Without the contingent impact of the Huns, the two main pulses of migration would never have occurred in short enough order to prevent the Roman authorities from dealing with the migrants, which had each group arrived separately, they certainly could. The important contribution of internal Roman limitations is also clear, not least in the states inability to increase agricultural production still further beyond fourth-century levels as crisis began to bite after 400. The ability of the immigrants to detach Roman landowners politically from their allegiance also reflects the naturally loose levels of control exercised locally by such a geographically vast state encumbered with such primitive modes of communication. But even giving these points their due weight, external factors in the persons of the immigrants of 376-80 and 405-8 were the prime mover behind western imperial collapse. The Empires internal limitations only came into play because the immigrants put pressure on its structures, and there is no sign that, by themselves, these limitations none of them new - would have been enough to bring the Empire down, any more than they had been over the preceding half a millennium.
The more contingent aspects of the crisis could not have had the same cumulative effect, likewise, without the preceding transformation of Germanic society. Had the Huns arrived in the second century, the Germanic groups that might then have been set on the march would not have been large enough to survive their initial brush with Roman power. By the same token, the processes of political amalgamation required to generate warrior groupings of a few tens of thousands, on the scale of the fifth-century Visigoths or Vandals, would have been so complex, involving so many small contingents, that they could not have been completed successfully before the individual groups were destroyed by a Roman Empire, which prior to the rise of Persia, still had plenty of fiscal/military slack in its systems. There is a strong sense, therefore, in which imperial Roman power and wealth created its own nemesis, by generating opposing forces which were powerful enough to match its military might. And here, if nowhere else, the fall of Rome might still have lessons which modern Empires would do well to ponder.
GGG Ping.
Oh, crap.
Are we gonna' rewrite ANCIENT history too?
and all this in a period where the speed of bureaucratic functioning and of military response rattled along at 45 kilometres a day,
Not true. Rome could pass messages from one end of the empire to another in a matter of days.
Rome fell for one reason only—Fred Thompson had not been born yet.
Military history ping. Previous threads on the ping list include one on Attila the Hun at the Battle of Chalons.
This answer is easy. Rome fell because the society got rich, liberal and complacent and no longer felt a strong military or decisive action was worth the effort.
Reliance on mercenaries to do their fighting, evasion of taxes needed to keep up the Republic and a general malaise that they were invincible led to their destruction.
In other words they became fat, dumb and lazy. Just like America today.
Signal towers.
Are we gonna rewrite ANCIENT history too?
Well, to be fair, you have to acknowledge that the Ancient History we are familiar with has probably been rewritten a couple of dozen times. ;-)
later read
Rome fell because it didn't kill the anti-Romans faster than the anti-Romans killed the Romans.
But yes, Germanic "immigration" both internal and external (meaning military invasions) were a major league element to Rome's downfall.
It gets more complicated, but for example at the end when the city itself fell, Gibbons claims the gates were opened in the night by some inhabitants whose sympathies lay more with the forces outside than with the Roman authority inside the city.
In many ways Rome had tried to absorb the germans, or had been forced to do so. Rome was surviving in the end with a German mercenary army and with the help of German allies. Rome became weaker and the German "guests" stronger.
Modern authors don't like to mention that Gibbons also attributed the fall to the Romans becoming an unwarlike people who relied on others to do their fighting. Or that religion softened the fall because the Germans by that time had become Christians.
You're right...what WAS I thinking?
(Apparently, I wasn't.)
Thanks for shaking me out of my silliness!
I heard it was the lead poisoning from the plumbing they installed.
The Romans were master engineers when it came to moving water. Aqueducts, constant flow sewerage, etc.
They even invented lead pipe. Lead, which is poisonous, leached out into the drinking water.
Some say this contributed to a collective insanity among the ruling class, who enjoyed the very best in running water technology.
Then the comet hit and everything changed. Lot of effort was wasted when the Northern half of the Western Empire simply shut down (economically and socially) in or about 541 AD for the next thousand years.
"Rome fell because the society got rich, liberal and complacent and no longer felt a strong military or decisive action was worth the effort."
You left out 'gay'.
Not enough conquests to supply slaves to work the gold and silver mines that paid the amount of troops needed to maintain the extensive borders.
The problem is, ancient history was already rewritten.
Only Gibbon's attempt to deny the Christian with its capital at New Rome (a.k.a. Constantinople) as the organic continuation of the Roman Empire, so as to claim the 'glories' of pagan Rome for an anti-Christian 'Enlightenment', made 476 into a significant event.
The retirement of the last Western Augustus to a villa near Naples, with the decision of the Eastern Augustus, Zeno, to assume the sole Emperorship, and allow administration of the West to be given over to Odovacer as Patrician of the Romans, was not understood by any contemporary as ending Roman rule over Italy: the pattern of sometimes one, sometimes two, Emperors or Augusti (one for the East and one for the West) had been set by Diocletian's reforms, and the capital moved to Constantinople by Constantine.
Direct Imperial rule was reestablished in the West under Justinian, and even after effective control passed back to the local Germanic 'nobility', there is ample documentary evidence that people still regarded the Emperor in Constantinople as, at least theoretically, the highest political authority.
Even the Imperial coronation of Charlemagne by Pope Leo in 800 was understood by Charlemagne as reestablishing the office of Western Augustus, at least until his position was not recognized by the actual Roman Emperor at Constantinople, at which point he began styling himself 'Holy Roman Emperor', and referring to the Roman Emperor, Irene (yes, she was styled Imperator and Basileus, not Empress), as 'Emperor of the Hellenes'—and insult, since until about 1800 Hellene was understood as 'pagan'.
The Alexiad, a biography of the Emperor Alexius I by his daughter, consistantly refers to the Empire at the time of the Crusades as the Roman Empire.
The book sounds like an inadequate attempt at fixing the rewrite that already took place.
Don't forget Constantine, and the rise of Christianity.
no, this is a genuine piece of research.
If you have a FReeper ping list, I'd be happy to be on it.
What part of Meechegan are you from?
Very informative and very interesting.
I appreciate the time you took, and I appreciate the education.
Thank you, Ken.
I'm catching on.
(I am glad to have made this mistake because I'm learning much.)
Woo hoo!! Run, FRed, Run!!
Maybe you should take another look at the book cover.
Edward Gibbon's history of the decline and fall ends in 1453 with the capture of Constantinople by the Turks. That's one long fall, and it puts into perspective the fact that the Roman empire never really decisively "fell" - it gradually evolved into something else. And in a sense it still exists in the form of the Roman Catholic Church, which is organized along the lines of the later imperial government.
I rely far more on the old answers because they just make far more sense.
"The Roman Republic fell, not because of the ambition of Caesar or Augustus, but because it had already long ceased to be in any real sense a republic at all. When the sturdy Roman plebeian, who lived by his own labor, who voted without reward according to his own convictions, and who with his fellows formed in war the terrible Roman legion, had been changed into an idle creature who craved nothing in life save the gratification of a thirst for vapid excitement, who was fed by the state, and who directly or indirectly sold his vote to the highest bidder, then the end of the Republic was at hand, and nothing could save it. The laws were the same as they had been, but the people behind the laws had changed, and so the laws counted for nothing.
Teddy Roosevelt on the Fall of the Republic
Do you see parallels when socialism-seeking liberals re-interpret the Constitution's words to avoid amending them? How long before America ceases to be a Republic and becomes the dreaded democracy?
So...Rome fell due to illegal immigration. And because the Romans lacked the will to oppose it. Sounds familiar (unfortunately). If you're really interested in ancient Rome, then watch "I, Claudius". While fiction, much of it is based on fact. Those Romans were one wild bunch, especially Livia, Caligula, and Messilina. Wow!!
Rome fell because Chuck Norris didn't like their attitude. Plus he needed the Coliseum to film his fight scene with Bruce Lee in Return of the Dragon.
Nope, that isn't it — Rome fell because Chuck Norris gave the Forum a roundhouse kick! You can still see the damage done to the Coliseum.
And in a sense it still exists in the form of the Roman Catholic Church..
The Eastern Orthodox Church is the natural and historical inheritor of Rome/Christendom...and since its subjugation by islam...only Russia can possibly claim the mantle as in Byzantism which refers to a renewed Russia to counter the increasing secularism of the West.
That's BS. Even when I'm driving, I can do a couple of 800mi (~1500km = 33.3x) days in a row. If all goes well, one can do even better by flying.
"The Eastern Orthodox Church is the natural and historical inheritor of Rome/Christendom...and since its subjugation by islam...only Russia can possibly claim the mantle as in Byzantism which refers to a renewed Russia to counter the increasing secularism of the West."
The protestant churches are as derivative from the church of Rome as the Russian church is from Constantinople.
Also, as a matter of fact, there are other eastern european countries that maintained the faith far better than the KGB riddled church of the Kremlin.
The bottom line is that there is a direct lineage from the Roman Empire to the Holy Roman Empire and then to the current superpowers.
At the risk of hijacking the thread, mostly Saginaw, which is falling faster than Rome. (See how I steered that right back onto the track?)
I believe the Latin Church Father, Augustine, gave his explanation in his tome "The City Of God". That's at least one place to look, as well as Edward Gibbon's "Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire"
And here, if nowhere else, the author reveals his tedious and banal message.
The fact is that Rome never solved the critical problem of the succession. As early as 69 AD there were multiple "caesars" contending and fighting internecine battles for the seat of empire. The gathering of external forces was real, as Hadrian, famous for his English wall, had to relinquish Trajan's eastern conquests in the face of powerful Persian forces. Marcus Aurelius faced hordes of Germans pouring across the Danube, the Alps and into Italy itself by 180. By the year 193 Rome again saw a contest of four emperors, including one based in Gaul-- and by 238 there began a period of "military anarchy" in which rulers rose and fell like the tides, all the while foreign forces were gathering strength.
In spite of all, Rome regrouped and in the later 200's consolidated and restored some territorial integrity and defensible boundaries on a reduced scale. The foreign forces were formidable in size, not mere tribes of roving outlanders--in 268 AD the emperor Gallienus won a victory over the Goths, in present-day Balkans, where 50,000 enemy were slain.
Rome didn't create these forces. They came from the foggy swamps and endless forests of northern Europe and the vastness of the steppes of the Eurasian landmass.
The point is, Rome didn't just "collapse." Over a period of at least 400 years it stumbled, fell, regained its footing, was knocked down and got up again, and was actually sacked more than once before it gave up the ghost as the capital of the known world in 476.
Throughout, its strength was vitiated by the absence of any coherent, agreed upon means of selecting and legitimizing its rulers, a crippling internal weakness when fending off the weight of the rest of the world on its borders.
utter nonsense/ read the history.
you heard wrong. lead poisoning is a 5 second tabloid explanation for a 500 year history.
Western powers - mainly the Europeans - today bear little resemblance to the Christian infused nature of Byzantium.
As for Russia—its identity was almost destroyed by the Bolsheviks—most of whom were not even Russian!...a foreign ideology that crept in and almost destroyed Russian Orthodox Identity. It did not however.
Marxism lost. Russia and Russian Orthodoxy lives on.
If you read Gibbons I don't know how you missed the more than lengthy hsitory of Constatinople from its founding to its fall, or of Justinian's temporary recapture of Italy, or of the development of the East West Church schism and the subsequent efforts to mend it. Or for that matter the extensive history of Christianity, which Gibbons never tried to deny.
Nice summary.
The Romans had high levels of lead in their pottery. This was a particularly bad problem in wine vessels.

Who Is Affected by Infectious Mononucleosis
Infectious mononucleosis (mono) occurs in about 1 out of 2,000 people every year. People between the ages of 15 and 24 are most likely to have symptoms of mono.1
Most people have been exposed to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which causes mono, by the time they reach adulthood. They likely won't have symptoms, but they can spread the virus to others every now and then throughout their lives.
- Young children infected with the virus usually have no symptoms or only mild symptoms.
- If a person is first infected with the virus as a teen or young adult, he or she is likely to develop symptoms of mono.

They told me there was an initial fee of $60 that needed to be paid up front. The man on the phone told me that once I paid the fee, if they did not provide me with a rental that fit my description within 3 days I would get a full refund of my money. Since I need to move on very short notice, I have a dog, and I am not familiar with the area I was willing to pay $60 to have someone help me.
Well the initial search they did for me came up with 3 properties that did not meet the criteria of being near the 5 freeway. There were not in the neighborhood I wanted, they did not meet my criteria. I did another search, which still has not been answered.
Today is the third day so I called to get my refund since they did not keep their end of the deal to provided me with at least 3 properties that met my criteria. These are the same 3 properties that were listed in the craigslist ads I noticed later. I was on hold for over 20 minutes and the man who answered the phone rudely told me they would not refund my money because "all sales were final". I told him I was told I had 3 days to get a refund if they couldnt help me find a property that meets my criteria. He argued with me that they had provided me with 3 properties. When I pointed out they did not meet my criteria he stated there was nothing he could do to refund my money but that he would call me back on Monday.
I highly doubt I will get a call back and I want my money back.

Welcome to the 14th annual Olympic Peninsula BirdFest!
April 7-9, 2017
NOTE: This website is still in BirdFest 2016 form. 2017 upgrades will be completed gradually by late 2016.
This festival provides participants the opportunity to view a wide variety of birds normally seen on the Olympic Peninsula. Field trips are planned for Sequim Bay, Port Angeles Harbor, Ediz Hook, Dungeness Spit, the Elwha River, Salt Creek and at Neah Bay, as well as trips through wooded areas to view songbirds and locate owls in the evening. Boat trips to Protection Island are also planned. The North Olympic Peninsula is widely known as a great place for bird watching. The day of the Olympic BirdFest is timed to overlap wintering birds and the beginning of spring migration.
In addition to the field trips, birders may participate in presentations, workshops and a banquet. A tour explaining the Jamestown S'Klallam tribal totem poles at the Tribal Center and the Seven Cedars Casino will also be offered.
Guest Speaker: Tony Angell
He will speak at the Banquet on Saturday, April 16, 2016.
Topic: "Revealing the Secret Lives of Owls"
After decades of studying owls Tony Angell shares the wonder of these amazing and beloved birds. Tony discusses the characteristics that distinguish owls from other bird species and provides a fascinating overview of the impact owls have had on human culture and thought. He considers the challenges owls face in a world of human-driven rapid change, urging lovers of nature to consider all that we'd lose if we lost the owls. Tony's book "The House of Owls" will be available for purchase and autograph at the banquet.
Tony Angell has written and illustrated numerous books in the fields of art and natural history, primarily about birds. His sculptures in bronze and stone have been exhibited regularly for some forty years. Tony left California at age 17 to attend the University of Washington on an athletics scholarship. He earned his BA and MA degrees there and has lived in the Seattle area since. He served as supervisor of environmental education for Washington state's Department of Public Instruction for more than 30 years while also maintaining an award-winning career as a professional artist.
