Firstly let me wish you and yours a happy Thanksgiving and here is to a weekend of food, family, and lots of football. I am willing to bet that when this game was scheduled Wake Forest had no idea that an SEC buzz saw would be heading to town for the final regular season game of the 2012 season. In a season where the bowl bound Commodores have set record after record, James Franklin's squad will go to Winston-Salem looking for their sixth win in a row. This would be the first time that has happened in 60 years. Here are the three keys.
1) Looking for a repeat performance
Though it makes little sense that Vandy has to travel to Wake for a second straight season, there is recent history in Winston-Salem that should cheer James Franklin's mood. In the 2011 clash, which the Commodores dominated 41-7, Zac Stacy rushed for 184 yards and three touchdowns. Meanwhile, quarterback Jordan Rodgers had 229 total yards to achieve bowl eligibility. As good as that Vandy team was this one is even better, and even though the 5-6 Demon Deacons are fighting for bowl eligibility you get the feeling that a dominating repeat performance could be on the cards.
2) Play dominant defense
Wake is probably the strangest 5-6 team in the country and it says something to the weakness of the ACC that they even have that record. The Demon Deacons really just don' do much of anything very well. They rank 94th in the country in passing at around 200 yards per game and are even worse (114th) in rushing offense averaging under 100 yards a contest. To put that 300 yards of total offense into perspective Vandy went for almost 450 last week against Tennessee and Oregon is at around 550 per game for the season. When you add in the fact that Vandy has the 16th best scoring defense in the nation giving up just 18 points then you can see why this looks like a mismatch on paper.
The Vandy defense really has been outstanding in 2012 and this looks to be a fitting game for the unit to have its swansong. Expect the Commodores to come out hitting hard and mixing up defensive coverages to confuse the Wake passing attack. Vandy has been assignment sound all year long and nothing that is thrown at them this weekend should be a cause for concern. This game will be won by solid defense.
3) Feed Zac Stacy
As the lone senior skill position player of note this will be an emotional game for the guy who has become the defacto leader of the Vandy offense. Stacy has spent the season showcasing his all round skill set and as previously noted he has torn up Wake on this field before. I would expect Stacy to get 25 carries minimum and turn it into his own going away party as he plays his best game of the season. Stacy has brought a lot to Vanderbilt football and it would be fitting for him to finish off his regular season career with a bang.

Why does the medication have a different name? Return to top
These are trade or brand names registered by the manufacturer. In different countries, manufacturers will often use different trade names. The medications have the same active ingredients, but may look different and have a different trade name. e.g. Adalat XL (Canada) and Adalat Oros (New Zealand).
What is a "Generic" medication/drug? Return to top
Generic drugs are regulated medications that have the same active ingredients as the original brand name drug, but that are usually cheaper in price. One third of all drugs dispensed are "generic". Comparative testing is performed to ensure that generics are equal to the "brand" version in:
This means that "generic" drugs can be used as a substitute to a brand medication with the same therapeutic results. Exceptions may exist and you should always consult your doctor before switching to a generic medication or vice versa. Please read "What are the differences between generic and brand medications?" for more information.
What are the differences between generic and brand medications? Return to top
Generics and brand equivalent drugs contain the same active ingredients, but they may be different in the following ways:
The fillers that are added to make the brand or generic are what gives the drug its color, shape and size. These fillers have no medical use and do not change the effectiveness of the medication. A generic drug contains the same active ingredients and must be equivalent in strength and dosage to the original brand name drug.
Why do generics cost less than the brand name equivalents?
Generic drugs are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have the investment costs that the developer of a new drug has.
Prescription Required Return to top
A prescription drug is a licensed medicine that is regulated by legislation to require a prescription before it can be obtained. You must submit the prescription you obtained from your physician to order this medication.

What shall I write about this morning? Bradley Beal on the fast track to becoming a superstar? Ernie Grunfeld lighting a fire in Jan Vesely when he chose not to pick up his rookie option? The Cavs seeming to have the Wizards number or another late game collapse by the Wizards. Last night was such a roller coaster of emotion and when the Wiz pulled out the victory, I finally settled on the idea of growth and maturity.
Certainly, the season has not started out the way the players, coaching staff or fans envisioned. The Wizards have played well but hadn't figured out how to win close games. But after Wednesday night's win in Cleveland – their second in a row – theWiz are now 4-7. Of those seven losses, the Wizards had a legitimate shot at winning four of them. In the loss to Philly, the Wizards were down three with five minutes to go. This is usually when "playoff teams" turn it on and start to separate from inferior teams but the Wizards could never close the gap. Then there was the heart breaker in OKC. The Wizards actually dominated the Thunder for the games entirety and were up comfortably 92-82 with 3:26 left. Then Kevin Durant went all, well, Kevin Durant on them. The Wizards took them to overtime and hung around with a chance to win the game on a last second layup attempt by John Wall but….#SoWizards, right? Finally, there was that first game against the Cavs last Saturday where the Wizards led by 15 at one point but let the Cavs hang around and take the game into overtime. Kyrie Irving proved to be a bit too much to contain and the Wizards dropped another close game.
Those were three games that the Wizards could and should have won. A 7-4 record feels a lot better than 4-7 but as I stated earlier, these are the growing pains necessary for a team to transform from a young talented team into a legitimate playoff contender.
This team reminds me a lot of the Indiana Pacers from a season ago. You had a young team with a couple of players – namely Paul George and Roy Hibbert – who were poised to break out. Both teams were comprised of a nice mix of young players and veterans. And both teams had trouble closing games out. Last year, we saw the Pacers stumble out of the gate. About halfway through the season, it finally clicked for them as Paul George got his superstar card stamped and Roy Hibbert became a defensive stalwart. They went into the playoffs last year just trying to make some noise and ended up in the Eastern Conference Finals. This yea,r they have legitimate championship aspirations. I believe the Wizards are at that crucible. They are learning to avoid the panic that usually plagues the last few minutes of tight games. They know that they can play with any team in the league but they still are unsure if they can beat every team.
Wednesday night was more of the same. After mollywhopping the Cavs for 3 1/2 quarters, the Wiz took their foot off the gas and allowed the Cavs back into game behind Kyrie Irving. Anderson Varejao hit a shot to cut the lead down to four with a minute and a half left in the game. The Wizards responded by going 8-for-8 from the charity stripe the rest of the way. I could sit here and harp on blowing the 27 point lead or them looking shaky down the stretch but I've become too accustomed to the Wizards losing these types of games. So I'll take solace in the fact that they held it together when they were literally self destructing.
The were most telling moment from that Cavs game was the moment that occurred during a timeout with just over two minutes left. Bradley Beal was visibly shaken after Matthew Dellavadova gave him a heaping helping of defense for about five minutes. He put something on him so cold. After forcing Beal into a shot clock violation, the Cavs called a full timeout. Coming out of the timeout, the camera zooms in on Trevor Ariza, who dressed for the game but didn't play, telling Beal "that motherf*cker can't guard you and you know it." Beal looked at him and nodded his head. A couple of possessions later he hits a big shot and then nails two crucial free throws down the stretch. It was a beautiful moment. The wily veteran offers words of encouragement to a young player who was in the midst of a panic and they both shared a woosah moment and held it together.
Wizards fans were in a panic when they were sitting at 2-7. Just imagine Trevor Ariza telling YOU that this team is f*cking better than that and you know it….woosssaaahhhh.

The Long or Short of It: Determinants of Foreign Currency Exposure in External Balance Sheets
Philip R. Lane
Trinity College (Dublin) - Department of Economics; Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR)

CEPR Discussion Paper No. DP6887
Recently, there have been numerous advances in modelling optimal international portfolio allocations in macroeconomic models. A major focus of this literature has been on the role of currency movements in determining portfolio returns that may hedge various macroeconomic shocks. However, there is little empirical evidence on the foreign currency exposures that are embedded in international balance sheets. Using a new database, we provide stylized facts concerning the cross-country and time-series variation in aggregate foreign currency exposure and its various subcomponents. In panel estimation, we find that richer, more open economies take longer foreign-currency positions. In addition, we find that an increase in the propensity for a currency to depreciate during bad times is associated with a longer position in foreign currencies, providing a hedge against domestic output fluctuations. We view these new stylized facts as informative in their own right and also potentially useful to the burgeoning theoretical literature on the macroeconomics of international portfolios.

I've had pork on the brain lately. I suspect it's because the weather has turned cooler, which makes me think of fall, which makes me think of sweet potatoes, which makes me think of pork.
And it also must be noted that every cooking magazine I picked up last week featured pork prominently in its recipes.
I finally broke down on Monday and went to the official pork website, porkbeinspired.com, and poked around until I found a recipe that looked and sounded delicious: Pulled Pork Tostadas with Slaw and Chipotle Cream.
I read the reviews and all were good, although a couple of people said the chipotle cream was a little spicy for their young kids. (They suggested substituting regular sour cream instead.)
I'll be making this recipe on Saturday. You can find the tostadas at Kroger, any Hispanic grocery and sometimes at Walmart. They come stacked in a bag of 20 or so and I think Old El Paso also sells them in a box of 8 or 10.
Pulled Pork Tostadas
with Slaw and Chipotle Cream
1 (3-pound) boneless pork shoulder or pork loin
2 tablespoons chili powder
11⁄2 teaspoons salt
1⁄2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
1⁄2 cup chicken broth
3 to 4 limes, divided
2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
8 cups finely shredded cabbage or 1 bag slaw mix
1⁄4 red onion, thinly sliced
3⁄4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
1 cup sour cream
1⁄2 canned chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, seeded and minced
6 (6-inch) corn tostadas (flat crispy tortillas)
2 tomatoes, diced
3 radishes, cut in thin wedges
Place pork in a foil-lined pan. Combine dry ingredients and rub mixture on meat. Set aside.
Warm oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork and brown on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer meat to a slow cooker. Warm broth in skillet, scraping up browned bits. Add broth to slow cooker, cover and cook for 6 to 8 hours on low or 4 to 5 hours on high. Transfer meat to a cutting board. Let rest 10 to 15 minutes. Remove fat and shred meat. Reserve 1 pound pork for the tostadas and use the rest for something else.
Combine 2 tablespoons lime juice with oil in a large bowl; add cabbage, onion and cilantro, tossing to mix. Add salt to taste. Cut remaining limes into 6 wedges each and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine sour cream and chipotle pepper. Add salt to taste and set aside. Arrange tostadas on plates. Top with pork, slaw, chipotle cream and tomatoes. Place lime and radish wedges alongside and serve.
Makes 6 servings (remember, you'll have plenty of leftover pork).

New shows include 'Making the Rock Band'
MTV has pacted with hip-hop star 50 Cent to search for the nation's next street-smart business mogul.
Untitled project is among the cabler's next round of series greenlights, which also include "Buzzin'," a comedic reality series that will chart the rise of music artist Shwayze; "Busted," a half-hour that chronicles kids that break the law; and "Making the Rock Band," a new take on Sean "Diddy" Combs' music reality series. Then there's the docu-series that follows T.I.'s community service and march toward jail (Daily Variety, May 28).
Also in the mix, but not yet ordered to series "Hollarado," which follows the world of skateboarding star William Spencer, and "16 and Pregnant," described as a take on "real-life Junos."
"Our audience expects us to constantly reinvent and evolve," said MTV programming head Tony DiSanto. "That's the challenge at MTV, but also the fun part."
Under development team leader Liz Gateley, MTV has done away with traditional pilot seasons, in some cases ordering shows directly to series. Channel has also focused on adding more hour-long series to its mix, is adding more spin-offs and adding more genres to the mix.
"We didn't like the idea of us gathering ideas and then waiting," DiSanto said of the move away from a traditional development cycle. "We don't want to stop for any idea. If it excites us, we'll move on it."
Ish Entertainment is behind the untitled 50 Cent show, which will center on 16 contestants as they live together and compete in challenges that relate to street savvy and business smarts. Show – kind of a hip-hop 'Apprentice' – will end each week with 50 Cent narrowing his search. Ish's Michael Hirschorn, Stella Stolper and Chris Choun exec produce with 50 Cent and Chris Lighty. Eight episodes have been lined up.
"Buzzin'," from Suretone Ent. and Hoosick Falls Prods., follows Shwayze – nicknamed "the only black kid in Malibu" – as he partners with musician Cisco Adler as they attempt to make it big in the biz. MTV calls it a real-life "Entourage," complete with Suretone Records honcho Jordan Schur in the Ari Gold role.
George Verschoor, Mike Powers and Schur will exec produce. Cabler has ordered eight episodes.
Among the other greenlights, "Making the Rock Band" will twist the "Making the Band" concept by following Combs as he attempts to make it big in an area he's less familiar with – rock music.
"Buzzin'," which won't air in prime, will likely be stripped in other dayparts. Show, which secured a 20 episode pickup, will focus on kids gone wrong from both the POV of law enforcement and the juvenile delinquents.
As for the shows in development, "Hollarado," which will play as a reality half-hour comedy, comes from Liquid Theory. Austin and Julie Reading will exec produce, along with Mike Powers. "16 and Pregnant," which takes its cue both from "Juno" and the recent teen pregnancies of stars like Jamie Lynn Spears, will take a sobering look at young girls who are expecting.
Projects join a hefty crop of upcoming new series including Cris Abrego's "From G's to Gents" (July 15), "My Super Sweet 16" spinoff "Exiled" (August), "Paris Hilton's: My New BFF" (September); and Justin Timberlake's "The Phone."
Other upcoming premieres include "Legally Blonde" (June 2), season two of "America's Best Dance Crew" (June 19), season five of "Run's House" (July 16) and new seasons of "Making the Band" and "The Hills" (August).
DiSanto, meanwhile, dismissed rampant rumors that he might be heading to a new home, such as the CW.

With our 3 pounds of brains, which is 2 percent of our body weight, let's brain storm about the Asian carp. I think there is a simple solution to this problem. Two things to keep in mind, are we smart enough, and how much money will it cost. This same logic could be applied to other problems we have.
What we have now are 50 people with 50 ideas. I might as well add my ideas to the list.
I have four solutions:
• Each town along the Illinois River take small boats and throw dynamite into the river, where there are no houses. The dynamite concussion will cause the fish to come to the surface to be picked up for fertilizer, cat and dog food and food for people. Why not, we see people eating insects, rattlesnake, turtles, etc. They tell me there are many bones in carp, then grind the meat up real fine and add herbs and spices to it. After all, when you are hungry you will eat anything.
There's a lot of food value in fish, calcium, phosphorous, vitamins, iron and omega 3, perhaps this will help our food pantry. Give it a fancy name "Carp Delight".
• Take small boats with sharp shooters, armed with heavy steel BB's and shoot the Asian carp as they jump out of the water. (Use shotguns).
• Take nets and put them one-half mile apart across the river and drag the two nets at each end toward each other to bring the trapped carp to shore.
• Since there are no good fish in the river, drop sunken poison pellets into the river. The carp are in bottom feeders. Do this in half-mile or so in intervals. Then pick the fish up for fertilizer (waste not).
Perhaps, these ideas are dumb, but nothing ventured, nothing gained. Give a pessimist enough rope, he will hang himself; an optimist will start a cigar factory.

The Wii is Suxorz
Just let your girlfriend know that the Wiimote vibrates......
The wii by itself yes is very boring, it just sits there and flashes a blue light at you (if you are lucky).
Now once you start using the Wii with controllers and games, then I would never describe it as boring. If you ever get bored with the game YOU are playing on the Wii, that doesnt make the Wii boring, it makes your choice of game boring. There are many exciting titles available for the Wii.
Search... Then Post.
If I am Grey in your addess book PLEASE Let me Know!

Maybe she mean your Wii was boring.
but no, it's not.
at you asking. 'cause your girlfriend, who probably hasn't even played a Wii, says its boring, its giving you doubts? Make your own decisions homie.

I am a plush pattern designer, craft book author, and sewing teacher. I design patterns for stuffed animals from my home studio in Wellesley, Massachusetts. Sewing dolls and toys is my passion! I strive to make my patterns easy to follow by including step-by-step photos all along the way and writing clearly. My toys are clever and fun to sew. I think you're going to love making them! You are welcome to sell the toys made from my patterns!
Since 2005 I've been sharing my ideas on design, technique and the culture of craft through my blog (whileshenaps.typepad.com). I have a master's degree in education from Harvard and taught middle school social studies in Mississippi and Massachusetts before becoming a textile artist and the mother of three girls.
My daughters, now age 8, 6, and 18 months, are the happy recipients of all of her prototypes!
My first book, The Artful Bird: Feathered Friends To Make and Sew, was an ALA Booklist top ten craft book of 2011 and I have a new book coming out about soft toy design! It will be published by Lark in May of 2013.
This toy is reversible! First, it's an egg just waiting to hatch. Then, turn it inside out, and it transforms into an irresistible little penguin!
Like all of my patterns, this sewing pattern includes step-by-step photos, written instructions, and templates. You'll be able to make this adorable Penguin & Egg Reversible Softie with ease!
This project comes together with just a little bit of fabric and a little bit of time, and the results are so adorable. I think you're going to love this toy!
I recommend using fleece for this project because it is soft, a bit stretchy, vibrantly colored, and inexpensive. Other fabrics may be substituted, but fleece is recommended.
The Penguin & Egg Reversible Softie pattern was designed by me, Abby Glassenberg, and is copyrighted 2013. All rights reserved. It is illegal to distribute this pattern electronically or in hard copy without my permission.
Thank you!
You can sell items made from this pattern as long as you follow these regulations:
1. Keep a copy of your receipt as proof of purchase.
2. The items cannot be mass-produced. They must be made by hand, one at a time.
3. Items must be made only by the individual who purchased the pattern.
4. Credit is given to Abby Glassenberg as the pattern designer on a tag affixed to each item and, if selling online, the listing (on Etsy, etc.) must contain a direct link to where the pattern can be purchased.
5. You may make alterations to the pattern, but you must still link to the original pattern and credit Abby Glassenberg on the item's tags and listings.

Comments Thread For: Roman Gonzalez Targets The Viloria-Marquez Winner
WBA Light Flyweight champion Roman Chocolatito Gonzalez will be fighting in the United States for the third time as he faces Juan Estrada in the co-feature to the main event between Brian Viloria and Hernan Tyson Marquez this Saturday night at the Los Angeles Sports Arena.
Gonzalez is somewhat of a hidden secret in boxing as he possesses true power and a lot of skill behind it but not a lot of people have had a chance to see him. His plan is to tap into the US fight fan population and especially the large Nicaraguan community that Los Angeles has.

Peach and Blueberry Cobbler
Cobblers are probably one of my all time favorite desserts. I think it's because I convince myself I'm eating just fruit and then I don't really think about the sugar or butter that goes along with it 🙂 Well, I guess it doesn't really matter, because there is just no way I could ever say no to a cobbler. Especially one that is stuff with fresh peaches and blueberries. (and then perhaps served with a dollop of ice cream… ummm yes please)
This week for Summer Fest, after the last amazing Eggplant celebration, we are celebrating Peaches! Peaches are one of the most versatile stone fruits around! You can use them in desserts, ice creams, jams and jellies. You can dry them and eat them like candy. You can make preserves and even chutneys and serve them over a grilled pork chop! Another favorite is to grill them. Yup, stick them right on the grill and let them get all nice and cozy with the flames and serve them with yet another scoop of ice cream.
This Peach and Blueberry Cobbler is a winner though. And it's probably a good idea for you to make it in the next few weeks while peaches are just around every corner!
In order to make your life extra simple when making this dessert, you're going to need to blanch the peaches for a hot second or two in order to remove the skins. Word to the wise… don't try and peel the skin off the moment you take the peach out of the boiling water. It won't end well. And you might end up chucking a peach across your kitchen after burning your hand. I'm speaking from experience here people 🙂
Once the skins of the peaches are removed, you just throw them into a baking dish with a few handfuls of blueberries, a little hint of lemon juice, salt and brown sugar and then pile on the topping. Then comes the hard part. It has the bake for 45 minutes which requires some patience… something I lack. But it's worth the wait… because 45 minutes later you are going to have one delectable dessert that people are going to be obsessing over!
Happy Peach and Blueberry Cobbler Baking! Here's the recipe:
- For the Filling:
- 12 ripe peaches
- 2 cups blueberries
- 1 tbsp flour
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- For the topping:
- 1 1/4 cup flour
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 6 tbsp butter, chilled
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup buttermilk (or 1/2 cup milk with a squeeze of lemon juice if you don't have buttermilk)
- 1 vanilla bean, seeds removed
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil on the stove
- Add the peaches into the boiling water, a few at a time, and let sit for 45 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside to cool. Repeat with remaining peaches.
- Once peaches have cooled enough to hold, peel of the skins and then cut them up into slices and discard the pit.
- Transfer sliced peaches to a baking dish, about 9x9 inches
- Add the blueberries, flour, lemon juice and zest, salt and brown sugar and toss together.
- combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl.
- Cut in the chilled butter with a pastry cutter.
- Mix in the egg, buttermilk and vanilla bean seeds and set aside.
- Pile the topping onto the fruit mixture using a spoon and randomly dropping scoops along the surface of the cobbler.
- Place dish into the oven and bake for 45 minutes until the top is slightly puffed and golden brown. Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Policy and business leaders will explore the electric power generation transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy during a conference March 26-28 at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center, an announcement said.
Keynote speakers at "Electric Utilities: The Future Is Not What It Used To Be" are to include Amory Lovins, chairman and chief scientist with the Rocky Mountain Institute, and Ron Binz, former chief of the Colorado Public Utilities Commission.
"We are on the cutting edge of renewable energy growth, but we're also experiencing some growing pains," Mayor Alan Arakawa said. "In a few short years, we now have 5,000 photovoltaic systems on (an) island of 150,000 people. We have three wind farms now feeding power into the island's electric grid, but our residents do not feel that the benefits and costs of renewable energy are allocated in a way that is sustainable."

Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Co.'s Puunene mill adds to Maui's energy generation Friday. It burns a mix of coal and bagasse, the fibrous remnants of sugar cane. At night and on cloudy days, residents and businesses with solar power systems still use electricity generated at this complex and at diesel-fuel-burning Maui Electric power plants in Maalaea and Kahului.

Conference sponsors include Hawaiian Electric, the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission, the Maui Economic Development Board and the Mayor's Office of Economic Development.
"Our goal in this conference is to gather those most knowledgeable about new models and new ways of thinking about how you provide electricity to the public," Arakawa said. "Together, we can find answers that truly benefit our island community, allowing utilities to provide reliable power service while treating ratepayers fairly and equitably."
Maui County Energy Commissioner Doug McLeod said innovative solutions need to be explored.
"The traditional investor-owned utility model has grown obsolete," he said.
The conference registration fee is $395. Organizers are offering limited sponsorship opportunities ranging from $500 to $25,000. To learn more, go to www.hightechmaui.com/energyconference.

Welcome back to Motion History! I hope you've stuck around for week three. I've had so many requests to cover various movies that it's difficult to sort through them all. This might also be a good time to confess that these first installments of Motion History are being written on the seat of my pants, as this column debuted at the same time as a lot of personal and professional upheaval. I promise, you will get the epic columns you're requesting (we'll get to Tudors and Plantagenets, don't worry), but for now I'm having to stick with "easy" stuff.The Film
That's partly why this week's pick is Gladiator, though it's also because it was a request by my friend Kat Arnett. I hesitated about doing it, because this is one film that had its inaccuracies wildly discussed upon its release. Just about every publication had a "Gladiator: Fact or Fiction?" article in 2000.
But that was ten years ago. Despite that pop culture has continued to dig into classical history for entertainment, I suspect the real story of Commodus and his gladiatorial hijinks has fallen by the wayside. I also thought it would be fun to discuss this film in the wake of Ridley Scott's Robin Hood. Scott has an definite way of interpreting history that's become more pronounced with every film. So, while the historical story behind Gladiator may not be new to a lot of you, it might be illuminating to look at this film again and compare it to Kingdom of Heavenand Robin Hood, as well as other recent depictions of Rome.

So, while the historical story behind Gladiator may not be new to a lot of you, it might be illuminating to look at this film again and compare it to Kingdom of Heavenand Robin Hood, as well as other recent depictions of Rome.
I imagine I don't have to summarize this one too much. It's the year 180 A.D., and Maximus Decimus Meridias is leading the final assault against Germanic tribes. The Emperor Marcus Aurelius is on hand to observe his victory, and the loyalty he commands among his men. Marcus Aurelius is dying, and is afraid to hand power over to his son, Commodus. (Joaquin Phoenix) He asks Maximus to take power, and guide Rome back into the hands of the Roman Senate.
But the suspicious and power hungry Commodus intervenes. He murders his father, takes the purple, and sentences Maximus to death when he won't swear allegiance. Maximus escapes, and rushes to protect his family. He's too late. Wounded and exhausted, he's captured by slavers and sold to Antonius Proximo. Proximo is overseer of a gladiatorial school (a ludus if you'd like the Latin), and after giving Maximus a few beatings, convinces him he can win fame and freedom in the ring.
Meanwhile, Commodus makes a triumphant return to Rome. He's hungry to remake it in his own image, but is bored with the day-to-day trials of bureaucracy. He wins over the people by staging endless gladiatorial games –the proverbial bread and circuses – but the Roman Senate seeks to get rid of him. They have a willing accomplice in his sister, Lucilla, who fears Commodus for reasons that are as much personal as political. When Maximus appears in the ring, openly defies Commodus, and wins the crowd, they seek to align him to their cause. But political coups prove harder to win than a fight in the arena, though Commodus' desire to crush Maximus actually puts the fate of Rome in the Coliseum itself.
The Historical Background
Rome had been under the rule of emperors for more than a century. The film hints at this in the placard, but all of Marcus Aurelius' talk of how Rome used to be almost implies that the emperors are a relatively new introduction. But the Empire has already seen Caligula and Nero come and go by this point. It's no wonder that historians have always been tempted to call the period from 98 AD to Marcus Aurelius' death in 180 AD as the period of "The Five Good Emperors" because politics were relatively restrained. But there was still plenty of conquest, warfare, and upheaval.
It would take too much time and space to describe what Rome was like on the eve of Gladiator. But what I'd like to note is that the voice of the common Roman has been lost to history. We don't know what they thought of Rome's expansion, or how they regarded the ascent of a new emperor, or the passing of an old one. Gladiator tries to fill in the blanks. The citizens boo Commodus upon his arrival in Rome, clearly suspecting him of foul play, and hail Maximus as the savior of Rome. They're proto-Americans and champions of democracy. They seem to be on the verge of overthrowing Commodus and disdain his corrupt ways. Did the average Roman really feel this way about this emperor, or that? We don't know. But it makes for great cinema to see them favoring the gruff Maximus and the morals he represents over the debauched, whiny emperor.
Is It Accurate?
No. There's an entire Wikipedia article (I know, I know) that's dedicated to all the inaccuracies big and small. Just about everything you see in the film is pure Hollywood -- from Maximus' tattoo (Roman soldiers were tattooed, but it would have been on his hand to make it difficult to remove) to the opening battle that's touted as the Defeat of all Germania. But one thing I never wanted this column to be about, though, was whether Commodus wore purple armor (a point my classics professor constantly complained about) or whether Lucilla's costumes were accurate. (Structurally, they look great, but there's an awful lot of synthetic lace covering her outfits.) These things are important, naturally. However, it's more damaging to history to have audiences come away with more Arab stereotypes (they're depicted as slave traders) or a belief that central Europe was populated by glorified cavemen. Gladiator is a film that touts the glory of Rome to something bordering on religious worship, and that's kind of dangerous.
Let's start with Marcus Aurelius. He was a scholar and philosopher, a man who followed the Stoic way of life. He was, by all accounts, a very good emperor. Roman historian Cassius Dio wrote of him "Marcus did not meet with the good fortune that he deserved, for he was not strong in body and was involved in a multitude of troubles throughout practically his entire reign. But for my part, I admire him all the more for this very reason, that amid unusual and extraordinary difficulties he both survived himself and preserved the empire." (Classical historian Mary Beard has bucked the scholarly trend of worshiping him – I don't want to mangle her by copying and pasting a quote, but those intrigued by Marcus Aurelius should read her.)
But that preservation never included handing Rome back to the Senate. He willingly appointed Commodus (the first man actually "born to the purple", previous emperors were adopted or appointed) his successor. Some historians believe he did it because he lacked for good candidates, or that he feared civil war would break out. But it's possible he just really liked the idea of his son succeeding him. (Again read Dr. Beard – he may not have been a just and prudent emperor, but no godlike mind.) It's not as though Commodus was a Caligula, and he was surrounded by good advisers. He was only nineteen when Marcus Aurelius died (of fever, not by his son's hand) and his father may have simply thought he'd grow out of his bad habits.
That's how Commodus appears to have started out – just a man of bad habits. Even Cassius Dio -- who had no kind words for him -- admitted he started his reign as a man who "was not naturally wicked, but, on the contrary, as guileless as any man that ever lived. His great simplicity, however, together with his cowardice, made him the slave of his companions, and it was through them that he at first, out of ignorance, missed the better life and then was led on into lustful and cruel habits, which soon became second nature." There's not a lot of detail about Commodus' reign. Dio Cassius was a contemporary observer, and he describes a character not unlike the man portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix: "Commodus was guilty of many unseemly deeds, and killed a great many people. Many plots were formed by various people against Commodus, and he killed a great many, both men and women, some openly and some by means of poison, secretly, making away, in fact, with practically all those who had attained eminence during his father's reign and his own .... On coming to Rome he addressed the senate, uttering a lot of trivialities; and among the various stories that he told in his own praise was one to this effect, that once while out riding he had saved the life of his father, who had fallen into a deep quagmire. Such were his lofty pratings."
His lofty pratings, his tendency to hand all power to his favorites, and his godlike opinion of himself earned him the ire of many. Everyone began plotting against Commodus. His sister Lucilla was the first, though no one quite knows why. Supposedly, she was jealous of Commodus' wife, Crispina. Lucilla hired two men – possibly her lovers -- to kill him as he entered "the hunting theater." His bodyguards thwarted the plot, and Lucilla was exiled to Capri, where she was later killed. Empress Crispina seems to have been involved or been blamed in some peripheral way, as Commodus accused her of treason or adultery, and she too was exiled to Capri and killed. He took up with a mistress named Marcia, who played a big part in his political decisions. She may have been a Christian, as she encouraged Commodus to be tolerant of them.
Gladiator gets one idea straight -- Commodus' downfall came about because of the gladiatorial ring. Half the reason he kept handing power to his favorites was because he preferred hunting, driving chariots, and playing gladiator. He promoted himself as the reincarnation of Hercules, and made much of his physical and athletic skill. He was constantly staging public battles with himself as the star. My classical professor may have been right that Commodus never wore purple armor, but you can see where Scott got the idea: "Before entering the amphitheater he would put on a long-sleeved tunic of silk, white interwoven with gold, and thus arrayed he would receive our greetings; but when he was about to go inside, he put on a robe of pure purple with gold spangles."
Despite whatever ugly crimes Commodus was committing, his Spartacus cosplay was the one habit his circle wasn't willing to tolerate. Whether it was because they were horrified at his cruelties (one of his staged games involved clubbing crippled individuals to death), afraid they too would end up fighting him, or simply embarrassed is unknown. Dio Cassius claims he and other senators feared for their lives. But one prefect named Laetus decided he'd kill Commodus. He took Marcia into his confidence, and convinced her to poison Commodus. (Some give her all the credit because she was reportedly scheduled for execution.) But the emperor ended up throwing up all the poison. Fearing he would figure out who was behind it, Laetus, Marcia, and other conspirators paid his wrestling partner, Narcissus, to strangle him in the bathtub. He was succeeded by Pertinax, who was a bit of a Maximus, a man who climbed the political ranks through a military career. He himself was assassinated 86 days later due to not paying the Praetorian guards enough.
So, Gladiator is wildly inaccurate. That's not a surprise. As an eager film goer, I can see why they spun the story they did, and where they pulled the inspiration. I disagree with historians like Allan Ward who argue that the real story is better than the fictional one, as I can't really see a way to make a wrestler named Narcissus any kind of hero. Russell Crowe was right on that one. What's far more surprising (or alarming, depending how seriously you take such things) is Scott's determination, one that he has shown again and again, to populate his ancient worlds with anachronistic ideas. Gladiator was one that made historians bristle, but in griping about how Commodus was blonde, not brunette, or whether Marcus Aurelius would look as old as Richard Harris is missing the real Roman myth that's being spun.
Ridley Scott's Rome is that city of mythic, marble perfection. It's not the grimy, superstitious and dangerous city of reality. It took nearly ten years and an HBO show to depict that Rome. Instead, we might as well be watching Cecil B. DeMille's Rome as flocks of doves swirl in synchronized CGI beauty, the sunlight casts through the clouds just so, and the togas are as pristine and white as the people. The film is absolutely enamored with Rome as an ideal, and the founder of all that's good in Western culture. "Rome is the light!" protests Maximus, and the film agrees. The fringes of the Roman empire are fleabitten hellholes, or dark, dank worlds where civilization is foreign concept. The Germanic tribes actually had a pretty complex culture, but you'd never know it from the savages portrayed here. Luckily, Rome will show them a better way to live.
There's no accident this came out on the eve of a new millennium. Let us look to our glorious past, let us praise ourselves for pursing the despotic and debauched, and choosing the right form of government! What would our world be like if Rome hadn't created the Senate, and we hadn't adopted it? Well, it would probably look something like Germania. We'll pause while you shudder at the thought.
Oh sure, the film takes pains to show that the "beating heart" of Rome is the Coliseum, and that marble statues and pristine Senate debates are glosses over a savage culture that spills blood for sport. But I don't think Scott really believes it. You can't, not when you build an entire film around the common man (Maximus) taking a stand against a despot – ostensibly for revenge, but eventually for the greater good. This isn't a story you'd find in ancient epics. As I said before, we don't even know what the common people thought, so it's difficult to know if Maximus could represent a real spirit of the time. Would your average Roman soldier wake up one day, and say "This is a really unfair system. I'm going to take a stand! We should vote on our senators, and get rid of these emperors!" I don't know.
But someone today would, which is why Gladiator is so appealing, and why it's a film that's more about us than ancient Rome. All of Scott's historic epics are thinly veiled modern myths. Kingdom of Heaven is all about religious tolerance, set in an era when there was no such thing. Robin Hood is, like Gladiator, a song about how equality, fraternity, and brotherhood are our natural sentiments. Those blue-bloods who try to suppress it (be they Commodus or King John) do so at their peril. Men like Maximus and Robin Hood are always going to be around to call them on their monstrosities.
It's a historic fiction that is at once uplifting (I like stories that praise the human spirit, and I love a good action story), but also damaging. It's good to use stories of the past, present, and future to allude to modern day events – sexy costuming makes the medicine go down -- but I'm wary of Scott's use of it. An entertaining story is one thing, but a glorified past is another, and Gladiator simultaneously congratulates us for rejecting the horrors of the arena while implying our democracy was reborn out of its sands.

Engineering firm Genivar confirmed Monday that it engaged in "inappropriate conduct'' in the financing of political parties in Quebec and the awarding of municipal contracts as outlined in recent allegations to the province's corruption inquiry.
The Montreal-based company says an unnamed person is on a leave of absence until an internal review is completed.
In a statement, Genivar says it has new information that confirms allegations made by a witness at the Charbonneau commission.
The firm established a special committee of the board last September to review any allegations of illegal conduct, including those made at the commission.
It says the review process is ongoing and no "definitive conclusion can yet be drawn.''
Executive chairman Christopher Cole says in a news release that Genivar doesn't tolerate any improper business practices and is committed to ethical business conduct.

|Packers | Davante Adams having 'very good camp'
Fri, 19 Aug 2016 10:48:02 -0700
Green Bay Packers WR Davante Adams is having a "very good camp," according to head coach Mike McCarthy. "That's what you see; he's healthy and he's taken a step."
Fantasy Tip: That's good to hear concerning Adams, considering he was mostly a disappointment a season ago, even with Green Bay missing Jordy Nelson all year. Even with Nelson back, Adams should still be heavily involved as the slot receiver, and is certainly worth monitoring for his potential on a high-powered offense. He deserves a spot on the back-end of most rosters for his ceiling.

|Packers | Davante Adams trying to shine
Wed, 17 Aug 2016 19:19:42 -0700
Green Bay Packers WR Davante Adams has had some good moments and some bad ones in training camp, according to beat writer Tom Silverstein. It is believed Adams needs to make a statement in the preseason game Thursday, Aug. 18, against the Oakland Raiders.
Fantasy Tip: Adams has plenty of company at receiver, and even if he makes the team he is likely to be the No. 4 or 5 receiver at best. He has a chance to shine last season due to several injuries, but this season with more receivers in the mix his fantasy appeal is rather minimal.

Sun, 31 Jul 2016 23:41:29 -0700
Green Bay Packers WR Davante Adams dropped passes in the two-minute drill and in the end zone during practice Sunday, July 31.
Fantasy Tip: Adams needs to turn it on if he wants to make the team. He has failed to deliver on a couple of big opportunities in his career, but he has WR3 talent in fantasy. He's a WR5 flyer if he can turn it around.

|Packers | Jared Abbrederis making plays in camp
Sun, 31 Jul 2016 14:33:35 -0700
Green Bay Packers WR Jared Abbrederis has impressed in camp while WR Davante Adams and WR Jeff Janis have been quiet in the early going.
Fantasy Tip: Abbrederis has been limited to nine games through two pro seasons due to injuries and probably needs both Janis and Adams to remain unimpressive in order to take over the No. 3 role behind Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb. The odds are long that will actually happen, but it is a possibility and the third receiver role has typically been an underrated source of fantasy production in Green Bay. Abbrederis should go undrafted in most leagues, but he's worth monitoring during the preseason just in case.

|Packers | Davante Adams on the bubble?
Wed, 13 Jul 2016 20:24:26 -0700
Green Bay Packers WR Davante Adams had a difficult season in 2015, and while he posted 50 receptions he averaged just 9.7 yards per catch. The last time a receiver with at least 25 receptions finished with that few yards per catch was in 1951. He dropped 12 of his 96 targets, while averaging just 3.0 yards per catch. With a deep receiving corps, beat writer Rob Reischel predicts Adams will need a big training camp and preseason for a roster spot.
Fantasy Tip: Adams was a huge disappointment last season for fantasy owners expecting big production with Jordy Nelson out of the picture. Adams had too many drops, disappeared in too many games and just showed very little consistency from week to week. With Ty Montgomery, Jeff Janis, Jared Abbrederis and Trevor Davis all looking for a piece of the pie, Adams needs a big camp.

|Packers | HC impressed by Davante Adams
Wed, 01 Jun 2016 19:13:20 -0700
Green Bay Packers WR Davante Adams is looking for a rebound after a poor season in 2015. He struggled with an ankle injury suffered in Week 2 which he aggravated the following week. Adams never fully recovered until the playoffs, and then he suffered a knee injury. During the offseason he bulked up, lifting weights once his knee fully healed. His head coach has taken notice. "He looks stronger this year than in the past and he's healthy," head coach Mike McCarthy said.
Fantasy Tip: Adams had a golden opportunity last season when Jordy Nelson went down, but he failed to take advantage. Now, Nelson is back, Ty Montgomery, Jared Abbrederis and Jeff Janis emerged as other mouths to feed, Randall Cobb is still a top-notch receiver and the club drafted Trevor Davis. There is a lot of competition for the eye of Aaron Rodgers, so Adams is not as attractive from a fantasy perspective as he was last fall.

|Packers | Davante Adams ready to bounce back
Thu, 26 May 2016 19:58:18 -0700
Green Bay Packers WR Davante Adams said he wasn't proud of his performance last season, but he plans to prove to the team and to himself what he is capable of in 2016.
Fantasy Tip: Injuries played a role in Adams' struggles, but with Jordy Nelson returning, even a healthy Adams will be no more than a bench option in fantasy leagues.

|Packers | Davante Adams may not make team
Tue, 03 May 2016 12:09:37 -0700
Green Bay Packers WR Davante Adams' roster spot is not a lock for the 2016 season, in the opinion of Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. WRs Jared Abbrederis, Ty Montgomery, Jeff Janis and Trevor Davis are also not guaranteed roster spots.
Fantasy Tip: It's hard to envision Adams not being on the Packers' roster in 2016, but Silverstein posited that only Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb are guaranteed to make the team among the wide receivers. It's more likely than unlikely that Adams is still a Packer this season, though, but he shouldn't be viewed as more than a WR4.

|Packers | Davante Adams was huge disappointment
Wed, 03 Feb 2016 22:01:33 -0800
Green Bay Packers WR Davante Adams was a huge disappointment last season, dropping 12 of his 96 targets, or 12.5 percent. He also averaged just 9.7 yards per reception, and only 3.0 yards after the catch. Beat writer Rob Reischel feels Adams might simply be in a fight for a roster spot in training camp and the preseason.
Fantasy Tip: Adams had a chance to shine once Jordy Nelson went down in preseason and he blew his golden opportunity. He might never get the chance to start again, at least in Green Bay. Fantasy players will want to avoid him until the late rounds in 2016, if even then.

Hide lines
night. Back on mainland Estonia I followed the quieter
road to Kiela rather than the main road. A gentle tail
wind made up for any lack of energy I may have felt
due to the previous night.
I counted down the kilometres to the last capital city
of the trip and felt really elated when I reached the
sign proclaiming Tallinn. It was a strange feeling. I
was glad to have made all ten countries, yet disbelief
that the trip is essentially finished
Tallinn is a beautiful bustling city. Its old part is
beautifully preserved and maintained. Medieval
buildings still in use. The old quarter winds up a low
hill towards the castle. Tour groups are led around by
their guides and there are cafes, bars and souvenir
sellers all the way. Tallinn is more expensive than
either Riga or Vilnius.
Many old people, mainly women stand along the streets
selling little posies of flowers to earn a few bob. It
is sad to see old people, many well over 70, passing
their day like this, obviously poor, but not resorting
to begging. This was also the practice in Riga.
The hostel here in Tallinn saw another reunion as many
of the same travelers turned up over a couple of days.
The hostel is incredibly friendly and small, so its a
big advantage that people already know each other.
This will be the last such time this happens as from
Tallinn everyone heads in all directions.
Yesterday I cycled out to Vosu in the Lahemaa National
Park with Ralf and Jents. They are doing a tour around
the Baltic Sea and currently going towards St
Petersburg. It was a great pleasure to cycle with
others even if only for one day. Ena and the Estonia
girl who runs the hostel drove out to join us. We
camped out on the beach and had a beer as the sun set
at about 11.30pm
disappeared, it simply moved eastwards were at some
point it turns into a red sunrise sky.
Today I cycled back to Tallinn, on my own again. I was
a little jealous of the pair continuing on, they have
another three months of their trip left and will get
up to North Cape in Norway.
This is my last days cycling for now and the weather
did a little cabaret act of sunshine, rain and wind
for me. The last few kilometres into Tallinn from
this direction were characterised by kilometre after
kilometre of packed apartment blocks. So many people
in such a small area.
The trip really is over now, tonight I organise my
gear for tomorrows flight to Copenhagen and then onto
Newcastle. I am returning home via Scotland and will
visit friends and family before getting back to Derry
It will be a while before it all sinks in, but I have
learned a lot in the last few months, a little about
the countries and the EU and a lot about myself. Now
when I hear countries such as Estonia being mentioned
I will certainly pay much more attention.
I think in general most people are glad to be in the
EU and many have high but mostly realistic
expectations.They want to improve the standards of
living in their country, but feel that they are doing
it for their children. Quite a few people mentioned
Ireland as an example of what they would like to
I have enjoyed both the trip and writing these pieces
for the Journal. I hope you have enjoyed reading them,
now I,m looking forward to getting home and a bowl of
my father,s Irish Stew.
