Little Sara's dream in visiting Texas has been to ride a horse which I promised we would do when I saw her at her faraway home last February. Needless to say, as early in their visit as possible we were off to the bam with Sara and her surrogate big brother to ride Pancho, the Wonder Horse. Pancho is a great guy, as far as four hoofed hay burners go. He is the favorite of all the kids because Pancho doesn't get too excited about anything. He'll trot, canter or walk on command and will put up incessantly with every "Giddyap'" a kid can toss out. And best of all he does it with a good attitude Kind of a Golden Retriever of the bam- Dennis Gallaher yard. So here are Sara and Joseph riding around the pasture with Sara's dad far enough away for independence but close enough to catch a kid having the time of her life. The sun is going down and the air has cooled putting the perfect edge on the trail ride. But Joseph, being the astute eight-year-old that he is, knows the time is growing short. That is when he turns to Sara and says with candor and grace, "When my Dad says it's time to go, ITI start to whine and he'll let us ride for five more minutes." Little turkey. I guess he has me figured out better than I thought. The truth is, I really want to go the extra mile with my kids, especially during those Kodak moments of life when they are having the time of their lives just being kids. In fact, as a parent there is no greater joy that comes my way than to see my children happy and content with a blessing that I have helped bring their way. The joy that I have thinking about those kids on Pancho will last much longer than the moments they shared together. The only proof necessary of the greater blessing in giving to our kids is the strong emotions that remain in the heart of a parent. So why do you think it is any different with our Father God? You see, we really do have a problem believing that He desire our happiness even more than we do. In fact, Jesus went so far with the Father's commitment that He repeated four times at the Last Supper the promise "if you ask anything in My name, I will do it." The simplicity of the statement is arresting, "Ask anything and I will do it." In other words, the greatest pleasure of the Trinity is to bless the children. And that means to give them the desires of their hearts, to allow peace, joy, and blessing to reign instead of sickness, distress and sorrow. Joseph knows the heart of his father is always turned toward blessing. He knows that I would not withhold from him the desire of his heart, even if it was something as simple as riding Pancho for five minutes more. As long as it does not hurt him and is in his very best interest I would not willingly withhold any good thing from him. And often I want to give to him just because it will make him happy. His happiness, after all, is one of my greatest joys. So it is with our Father in Heaven. Our happiness is one of His greatest joys. And like children who know their father's heart is turned to them for blessing, we need to be reminded that God's heart is turned toward His children. Jesus said, "Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom." Start asking again, friend, for the simple pleasures of life. When they come, they are sure to be fresh with the scent of Heaven. And thank God. A word of child-like thanks goes deep into the Father's heart. Take a lesson from a wise little boy named Joseph and taste and see the goodness of the Father's pleasure. But just one last thing. Please don't whine! (Dennis Gallaher is pastor of Freedom Fellowship Church.) Unforgettable Wink Wink Kelso spends much of his time working with March for Jesus vols By WENDY MICHAELIS Special to the Hera!d-Ze<tung "Wink Kelso** I know Wink Kelso! What's he up to these days?" This is a familiar strain to friends of Wink Kelso To the many who know him, Wink is unforgettable. But in case you don't know him, here's an introduction and a bit about what he's "up to" these days. You may have seen Kelso leading worship music on several occasions around the city. Every Sunday since October 1991, he has led the people at Freedom Fellowship Church in worshipping God. For the last three years Kelso has participated in the music surrounding the National Day of Prayer. Maybe you saw him clad with his guitar in Lamia Park prior to the Walk for Life or in the gazebo after the Life Chain. You may have found him at a city-wide praise rally or a community Thanksgiving service Those of you attending the Mamage Intimacy Workshop last month got to hear one of his latest songs, inspired by the workshop lf you haven't met him yet, you'll sc him June 25 among the couple of thou sand people expected to March for Jesus through the streets of New Braunfels. Kelso, one of the coordinators tor the New Braunfels March for Jesus, is excited about this year's march Kelso, uncoordinated New Braunfels first march last year, heard about the march in 1992 and went to San Antonio to see what it was all about "It was a fantastic experience to be out on the streets singing and praising God with all those people. It really fired me up to do it in New Braunfels," Kelso explains Another one of his motivations was to give the community a picture of the church by bringing the churches outside their walls Kelso says the 1,200 people who turned out for the 1993 march surprised him and his fellow organizers, Scott Tjernagel, pastor of Mission Valley Bible Church, and his wife Glyn "Last year I just wanted the event to come off. My goal for this year's march is for it to be a tool for unifying the churches in the city. I would like to sec many more city-wide events taking place," Kelso says. Twelve churches participated in last year's march, and according to Kelso, to date, 15 arc signed up to participate in this year's march. Kelso says, "Although the march is primarily being sponsored and publicized by churches, it is for anybody who wants to come out and sing songs to the Lord. If the whole city turned out, that would be great!" Kelso expects to see colorful banners, balloons and people signing at the march. "It's a very festive occasion This is not a protest march, it's a celebration!" he explains. As one of the march organizers, Kelso says he spends a lot of time on the phone and working with volunteers He says of the volunteers, "The more people we can get involved, the better the march " Kelso says he could especially use volunteers for the sound committee, site management and banner making, Kelso's lifetime of music attracted him to the march. Starting with family sing-alongs accompanied by his grandfather on the guitar, Kelso's music career included playing in bands from age 15 through his college years at Tnnity University He played with a band in the San Antonio area for the next couple of years before his interests shitted to writing music. Among his works, he and a partner wrote a rock opera basal on "Alice in Wonderland" that fared well locally and regionally After becoming a Chnstian in the mid-70s, Kelso began writing Chnstian music and performing with his band Brother Love "Over a period of time my imerest went from performing to praise and worship music," Kelso explains He has been a song leader at several churches and "officially" joins the staff at Freedom Fellowship June I Kelso continues to wnte songs and is kxiking forward to more time to devote to music wnting and recording atter June I.

I am showing my age, as 2013 marks my 25th year working in direct and digital marketing. The lessons that I have learned being a part of and building businesses through this time have enriched my life. If you know me or have followed me over the last 15 years when my role transitioned from practitioner to consultant and industry analyst, then you know I am all about sharing best practices. The ideas that I share are for the greater good in order to drive results today and to embrace the future in the aim of continuous improvement.
It has taken years for technology to mature to the point today that empowers all of us and our always-on, persistent connected society. If you are a reader of my column, you can likely identify with being a contributor to that connected society, but here I ask you to take this journey to see if you measure up as a connected company. That is, are you practicing connected marketing?
What do I mean by connected marketing? My firm has four major themes to our Connected Marketing Framework.
- Become a master of organizational change. Connected marketing is empowered and optimized by a connected company that works together across department and corporate silos. Organizations need to optimize by moving to a collaborative organizational model that creates a connected company through the integration of people, processes, channels, data, and service providers. The need to break down silos must be driven by the need for the connected company to accurately measure the marketing effectiveness and value of disparate channels including mobile, social, and offline.
- Institutionalize testing and revel in interactivity. Social message interaction success empowers the connected company to optimize marketing success across channels and to meet specific corporate goals such as acquisition, retention, and engagement. Whether driven by email, a mobile application, a video, or any type of social networking technology, marketers must test when connecting to new and emerging channels and continually strive from optimization across all channels. Testing must become a normal part of every marketing program across channels. Direct marketing is one of the only professions where failure is not only tolerable but also required to optimize results.
- Reconstruct and create new measures of success. Connected marketing relies on the interplay between channels, campaigns, applications, and tactics. Connected measurement is the proper measurement attribution across channels and sources to effectively measure key performance indicators (KPIs). It is imperative to connect KPIs such as revenue and site traffic and apply them to drive specific success measures of tactics that embody the specific corporate goals such as acquisition, retention, and engagement.
- Let relevance guide every customer interaction. Whether it is outbound or inbound marketing, acquisition or retention, service, sales, online or off-; relevance and the customer information that the connected company possesses must guide these interactions. Relevance remains an imperative strategy and tactic as the marketer connects email to all of the digital direct channels and extends its value through offline commerce and social interactions. The consumer's demand for relevance does not change by channel and marketers must be well-equipped to implement relevance-empowering tactics across them. Remember, the customer is ultimately in control and her experience will dictate her perception of the relevance of your marketing.
I have lived through and seen many things go right from planning to launch, and sometimes things crumble only to regroup and realign to make them a success. The most important message is to be humble and embrace the people around you to make your program a success. After all, if your technology should fail, who do you rely on? Your peers, the people. There is no silver bullet, every step to success is iterative and should teach you something.
May your next campaign launch be frictionless, and I bet it will be when you partner up with all of your other decision-makers and frontline customer experience marshals.
Let me know how you are building a connected marketing future. Until then, I wish you all the best successes.

I used worsted weight and a 3.5mm hook for mine, so I wouldnt have to worry about the cats pulling the stuffing out through any holes."

"This is absolutely stunning! I love it. I love vintage China and this is one way to display it. For my own personal taste I would use less pieces in the back, or even paint the background to make it pop more, and use the broken pieces on,y around the border as a type of frame. But that's just me. Alternatively, using less cups and just feature a ew with the broken pieces may set them off better. But all in all this is a great idea and display! Love it!"

Brighten up any room with these pink stripes and squares wall art. They make for great home decor and they're easy to make. Some ribbon and scrapbook paper really know how to pull this all together.
- STYROFOAM™ Brand Foam:
- Sheets, three 12" x 36" x 1"; or eight 12" x 12" x 1" squares
- Ribbon, 1" x 11 yds.
- Scrapbook paper: 12" x 12", eight sheets (heavier weight)
- Straight pins (optional)
- Sawtooth picture hangers, eight; or poster putty
- Thick, white craft glue
- Putty knife
- Optional: If using 12" x 36" x 1" foam sheets, additional supplies include ruler, pencil, serrated knife, old candle, dental floss
- If using 12" x 12" x 1" squares, skip to Step 2. Using ruler and pencil, score foam sheet to create three, 12" x 12" squares. Wax serrated knife with an old candle. Holding foam sheet firmly on a flat surface, extend one end and cut across the score line, using knife like a saw. Or, try dental floss: Stand the sheet on its edge and hold a 20" length of dental floss along the scored line, positioning one hand at the bottom of the board and the other at the top; draw the dental floss down through the foam sheet along the scored line. Repeat for remaining two foam sheets, creating a total of nine, 12" x 12" squares. Save one square for a future use.
- Use putty knife to spread thin, even coat of craft glue on front of foam square. Adhere 12" x 12" paper on foam square and smooth paper with fingers. Repeat to cover all foam squares. (Hint: Papers might appear wavy at first, and will smooth out as the glue dries.)
- Beginning and ending at one lower corner, use glue gun to secure ribbon around edges of each foam square; trim excess, allowing a bit of overlap. (Hint: STYROFOAM™ brand foam is very forgiving. If the paper does not exactly meet the edges of the foam sheet, run the edge of the foam square along a tabletop, compressing the foam.)
- Use level and poster adhesive to secure squares to wall as shown. Or, glue sawtooth picture hanger to back. For additional hold, insert and glue two straight pins through holes in sawtooth picture hanger.

text: Antigone Study Questions Prologue/Parados pp. 685-698 1. Where is the story set? THE CITY OF THEBES 2. How did Antigone and Ismene's brothers die? THEY KILLED EACH OTHER IN BATTLE OVER THE THRONE OF THEBES 3. What order has Creon given regarding Polyneices' body? TO LIE IN THE FIELD TO ROT WITHOUT PROPER BURIAL RITES 4. What motivates Antigone to break Creon's law? What motivates Ismene to respect it? ANTIGONE IS MOTIVATED BY LOVE FOR HER BROTHER AND DEVOTION TO THE GODS; ISMENE IS MOTIVATED BY FEAR AND RESPECT FOR THE LAW. Give examples of verbal irony (what is said is the opposite of what is meant) in Antigone's scenes with Ismene. "YOU MAY DO AS YOU LIKE, SINCE APPARENTLY THE LAWS OF THE GODS MEAN NOTHING TO YOU." "YOU NEED NOT BE; YOU HAVE YOURSELF TO CONSIDER, AFTER ALL." 5. 6. Why does Ismene tell her sister, "You are mad!" BECAUSE ANTIGONE HAS DECIDED TO DEFY CREON AND BURY HER BROTHER. 7. Why doesn't Ismene help her sister? SHE'S AFRAID TO DEFY CREON'S BROTHER. 8. Which of Antigone's parting comments to Ismene seem especially cruel or hurtful? How can you explain or defend Antigone's verbal cruelty? "I SHALL BE HATING YOU SOON, AND THE DEAD WILL TOO" OR "IT WILL NOT BE THE WORST OF DEATHS—DEATH WITHOUT HONOR." HER CRUELTY COMES FROM PASSIONATE FEELINGS, SHE IS BEING SELFISH AND MELODRAMTIC. 9. When the Chorus members first appear, what background information do they provide? THEY GIVE BACGROUND ON THE BATTLE BETWEEN ETEOCLES AND POLYNEICES. 10. What is Parados? What is Strophe? What is Antistrophe? PARADOS—1ST ODE OR CHORAL SONG; STROPHE—PART OF THEODE WHERE CHORUS MOVES FROM RIGHT TO LEFT OF THE STAGE; ANTISTROPHE—PART OF THE ODE WHERE CHORUS MOVES FROM LEFT TO RIGHT OF THE STAGE. 11. How does Sophocles personify the spears of Polyneices forces? HE SAYS THEY ARE "FAMISHED" FOR LIFE 12. Whose "jaws" are likewise described as hungry for the blood of the people of Thebes? What fierce beast is the city of Thebes compared to? POLYNEICES; A DRAGON 13. How does the final antistrophe remind the audience of the time of day and the physical and emotional setting? NOW THE BATTLE IS OVER, IT IS A BEAUTIFUL MORNING, AND THE CITY OF THEBES IS FILLED WITH JOYFUL HYMNS OF PRAISE 1 Antigone Study Questions Scene 1/Ode 1 pp. 700-705 1. Briefly explain the line of succession that resulted in Creon's ascension to power. BROTHER TO JOCASTA; AFTER 2 BROTHERS KILL EACH OTHER, HE TAKES OVER BEING THE ONLY MALE HEIR TO THE THRONE LEFT IN THE LINE 2. What is the "Ship of State"? What are the recent storms that threatened it? THE GOVERNMENT OF THEMES; THE REBELLION LED BY POLYNEICES 3. Why has Creon summoned the senators? TO INFORM HIM OF THE LAWS REGARDING POLYNEICES BURIAL AND PUNISHMENT TO THOSE WHO BREAK THE LAW 4. How does the end of Creon's speech differ in tone from the beginning? HE STARTED OUT SOUNDING VERY REASONABLE AND HUMANE; WHEREAS NOW HE SOUNDS VENGEFUL AND CRUEL 5. How does the Choragos feel about Creon's demand? How do you know how he feels? HE WILL OBEY IT BUT HE DOES NOT SEEM TO LIKE IT. HE SAYS ITS "HIS WILL" AND HIS "RIGHT TO ENFORCE IT." HE ASKS THAT THE YOUNGER MEN HANDLE THE SITUATION. 6. What does the comment in ll. 63-65 reveal about Creon's attitudes or mind-set? HE HAS A SUSPICIOUS NATURE; HE IS CYNICAL ABOUT THE HONESTY OF TOHERS, READY TO BELIEVE THAT ANYONE CAN BE BRIBED. 7. How does the Sentry's arrival diffuse the tension of the scene? HIS COMIC BABBLING BREAKS INTO THE CONFLICT THA HAS BEEN BUILDING BETWEEN CREON AND THE CHORAGOS 8. What is the Sentry's news? SOMEONE HAS COVERED POLYNEICES' BODY ATTEMPTING BURIAL RITES. 9. What motive does Creon suspect the person who buried Polyneices had? What will happen to him/her if Creon finds him/her? HE BELIEVES THAT THERE ARE THOSE WHO WANT TO GET RID OF HIM AS KING AND ARE SCHEMING TO DO SO FOR MONEY. THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE WILL BE STONED TO DEATH. 10. Why is the Sentry so happy to leave Creon? HE WILL BE SAFE FROM CREON'S WRATH 11. What attitude toward human beings does the Chorus express in Ode 1? What one fact tempers their attitude? HUMANITY IS THE GREATEST OF THE WORLD'S WONDERS, BUT DESPITE ITS MANY CONQUESTS, IT CANNOT ESCAPE DEATH. 12. According to the last stanza of the Ode, why do you think the chorus supports Creon? CREON EMBODIES THE LAW, AND THE CHORUS TRULY BELIEVES THERE IS NO CIVILIZATION WITHOUT LAW. THE CHORUS MAY NOT LIKE CREON, BUT IT WANTS THEBES TO REMAIN ORDERED AND SECURE. 2 Antigone Study Questions Scene 2/Ode 2 pp. 707-713 1. How was Antigone captured and by whom? THE SENTRY CAPTURED ANTIGONE AS SHE WAS WAILING AND THROWING DUST ON THE BODY IN A BURIAL RITUAL. 2. What happened right before Antigone was detected alongside of the body? A WIND BLEW UP AND WHEN ALL WAS STILL THERE WAS A WAILING AT THE SIGHT OF THE BARE BODY 3. What was Antigone doing with the corpse? GIVING IT A RITUAL BATH 4. What reason does Antigone give for violating Creon's decree? What theme of the play does her reasoning express? SHE SAYS THAT CREON'S DECREE WAS NOT GOD'S PROCALMATION AND THAT IT CANNOT STAND AGAINST HIS IMMORTAL LAWS. DIVINE LAW TRANSCENDS HUMAN LAW. 5. Creon accuses Antigone of boasting in her outrageous deed. Cite one of her lines that demonstrate her boasting. "THUS TO ME THE PAIN IS LIGHT TO MEET THIS FATE." 6. According to Antigone, why doesn't anyone praise her for her actions? Do you think Antigone reads the motives of the Theban elders correctly? Why or why not? THEY ARE AFRAID OF ANGERING CREON. SHE READS THEM CORRECTLY BECAUSE CREON HAS ALREADY MOVED TO ESTABLISH HIS POWER AND THEY SPOKE EARLIER OF "HIS WILL" AND THE POWER TO ENFORCE IT. GIVEN HAS EXTREME HER FEELINGS ARE AND HOW FOCUSED SHE IS ON THE HONOR OF HER BROTHER; IT MAY BE THAT SHE'S NOT RELIABLE INTERPRETER OF OTHER PEOPLE'S FEELINGS. 7. In line 103-120, what is Creon's main point? What is Antigone's main point? CREON: A TRAITOR SHOULD NOT BE HONORED THE SAME AS A HERO. ANTIGONE: ALL THE DEAD SHOULD BE HONORED NO MATTER HOW THEY DIED. 8. In ll. 121-127, the Choragos and Creon apply an image to Ismene. What are the two images? How do these images reveal the different viewpoints of the Choragos and of Creon? THE CHORAGOS DESCRIBES HER AS A CLOUD RAING SORROW. CREON DESCRIBES HER AS A SNAKE SUCKING BLOOD. CHORAGOS USES A GENTALE IMAGE THAT SUGGESTS PITY AND SYMPATHY FOR ISMENE. CREON USES A SINISTER IMAGE THAT SUGGEST SCORN, HATRED AND FEAR OF ISMENE. 9. Why does Ismene say that she helped Antigone? Considering everything you know about Ismene so far, why do you think she desires death? What is her motivation? SHE WANTS TO SHARE THE BURDEN NOW THAT CREON IS ABOUT TO PUNISH ANTIGONE. SHE AHS CONSDIERED ANTIGONE'S ARGUMENTS AND CHANGED HER MIND ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF HONORING POLYNEICES. IF ANTIGONE IS KILLED, ISMENE DOES NOT WANT TO FACE LIFE AS THE SOLE SURVIOR OF THE HOUSE OF OEDIPUS THE FINAL TARGET OF THE CURSE OF THAT HOUSE. 10. In Ode 4, who is meant by the "last flower of Oedipus' line"—Antigone or Ismene? What context clues tell you the answer? ANTIGONE—THE "PASSIONATE WORD" IN LINE 11 REFERS TO HER DEFIANCE OF CREON, AND "A HANDFUL OF DUST" IN LINE 12 REFERS TO HER ATTEMPTED BURIALS OF POLYNEICES. 3 Antigone Study Questions Scene 3/Ode 3 pp. 716-721 1. What observations are made by the Choragos at the first part of this section? SENATORS OBSERVE THAT ONCE THE GODS ARE DISPLEASED, AN ENTIRE FAMILY LINE SUFFERS. 2. What is your first impression of Haimon's attitude toward his father? HE SEEMS LOVING AND OBEDIENT; TOTALLY SUBSERVIENT. 3. What is ironic about Creon's giving Haimon advice about Antigone? CREON CAN'T UNDERSTAND OR DEAL WITH ANTIGONE. HE MISJUDGES HER WHEN HE PREDICTS THAT SHE WILL PLEAD "FAMILY TIES" TO SAVE HER LIFE. THAT IS THE CAUSE FOR WHICH SHE IS WILLING TO DIE. 4. What words are sometimes used to describe the kind of leader Creon is describing in ll. 35-36? DICTATOR, TYRANT, DESPOT, CZAR, OPPRESSOR 5. State in your own words the key arguments Haimon is using in ll. 51-63. AGAINST CREON PUBLIC OPINION IS 6. What two analogies or comparisons does Haimon use in lines 80-85 to show Creon that it is wise to be flexible? A TREE THAT BENDS WILL NOT BE UPROOTED; A SHIP THAT SLACKENS ITS SAILS WILL NOT BE OVERTURNED 7. Why do you think the Choragos avoids taking sides in the argument between Haimon and Creon? HE THINKS THAT HAIMON IS MAKING A VALID POINT, BUT HE KNOWS THAT CREON HAS THE POWER TO PUNISH HAIMON OR ANYONE WHO SUPPORTS HAIMON. 8. What character flaws in Creon are revealed by this question, "You consider it right for a man of my years and experience to go to school to a boy?" IT SHOWS HIS PRIDE, ARROGANCE, AND INABILTIY TO BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE YOUNGER COULD HAVE ANTYHING WORTHWHILE TO SAY. 9. How does Haimon's attitude toward Creon change since the beginning of the scene in ll. 124125? HE HAS GONE FROM BEING RESPECTFUL AND OBEDIENT TO BEING ANGRY, DESPARATE, AND SCORNFUL. 10. Why does Haimon leave when Creon orders Antigone brought forth? HE WILL NOT GIVE CREON THE SATISFACTION FO MAKING HIM WATCH ANTIGONE DIE 11. How does Creon intend for Antigone to die? WALLED IN A CAVE WITH ENOUGH FOOD AND WATER TO LAST A FEW DAYS TO ABSOLVE HIMSELF OF THE GUILT 12. Ode 3 responds to Scene 3, in which Creon accuses Haimon of being led by love of a woman. What does the Chorus say it believes about love? LOVE IS GLORIOUS, BUT ITS SO POWERFUL THAT NEITHER THE GODS NOR MAN CAN CONTROL IT; THE CHORUS CALLS APHRODITE, THE GODDESS OF LOVE, "MERCILESS" 4 Antigone Study Questions Scene 4 pp. 723-726 1. The play is moving toward its climax. What dramatic action is about to occur? ANTIGONE IS BEING LED TO IMPRISONMENT IN A STONE VAULT OR CAVE. 2. What change do you notice in Antigone's manner? SHE IS TERRIBLY FORLORN ABOUT HER APPROACHING DEATH AND IS LESS FORCEFUL AND AGGRESSIVE THAN IN PERVIOUS SPEECHES. 3. What two things does Antigone ask of the elders of Thebes? TO SERVE AS WITNESSES OF HER UNJUST SENTENCE AND TO THINK OF HER WITH LOVE 4. Who is Niobe and why does Antigone mention her death? ANCIENT QUEEN OF THEBES WHO BOASTED SHE WAS SUPERIOR TO LETO BECAUSE LETO'S ONLY CHILDREN WER THE TWINS, APOLLO AND ARTEMIS. THE TWINS SLAUGHTERED ALL OF NIOBE'S CHILDREN. ZEUS TRUNED THE WEEPING NIOBE INTO A COLUMN OF STONE. SHE CONTIUED TO WEEP, HOWEVER, AND HER TEARS BECAME A STREAM. ANTIGONE LIKENS THE "TEAR" AND "LONELINESS" OF NIOBE'S DEATH TO HER OWN. 5. Is the "family curse" relevant to the action in ll. 35-44? Why or why not? NO, IT SEEMS AS IF ANTIGONE IS BLAMING THE CURSE INSTEAD OF TAKING RESPONSIBILTIY FOR HER OWN ACTIONS; YES, THE FACT THAT EVEN THE CHORUS MEMBERS MENTIONS THE CURSES SHOWS HOW POWERFULLY MYTHS AND CURSES AFFECTED PEOPLE'S ATTITUDES, BEHAVIOR, AND JUDGMENT. 6. Why do you think that Creon publicly reasserts that his hands are clean in this matter? HE MAY BE TRYING TO CONVINCE THE ELDERS THAT HE IS ACTING CORRECTLY; HE MAY BE TRYING TO CONVICE HIMSELF THAT HE HAS NO REASON TO FEEL GUILTY. 7. In Antigone's last lines of the scene, what does she ask the gods to remember? What motives do you think she has for making this public request? SHE ASKS THE GODS TO REMEMBER WHAT SHE SUFFERED, WHY SHE SUFFERED, AND AT WHOSE HANDS SHE SUFFERED. HER MOTIVES COULD INCLUDE PUBLICLY CALLING ATTENTION TO CREON'S DISDAIN FOR THE GODS AND SEEKING HONOR FOR HER OWN CHOICES. 8. What is the main idea conveyed by Ode 4? ANTIGONE'S FATE RESEMBLES THAT OF SEVERAL OTHER FAMOUS FIGURES IN GREEK MYTH. 5 Antigone Study Questions Scene 5 /Paean pp. 728-732 1. Who is Teiresias? According to him, what has caused the gods' anger? A BLIND SEER WHO WARNS AND ANGERS CREON BY POINTING OUT THAT THE GODS ARE ANGRY WITH CREON. ACCORDING TO HIM, THEY ARE OFFENDED BY CREON'S LEAVING THE BODY OF POLYNEICES TO ROT INSTEAD OF BURYING IT PROPERLY. 2. How does ll. 33-35 summarize a major theme of the play? THE CLASH BETWEEN TWO PROUD PEOPLE, CREON AND ANTIGONE, IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THE ACTION OF THE PLAY—THE GODS ALWAYS PUNISH HUMAN PRIDE. 3. How do Creon's words in ll. 41-48 demonstrate his pride? THE PROPHETS AND THE LAWS OF THE GODS. HE HOLDS HIMSELF ABOVE 4. In lines 70-84, who is the child thrust "into living night"? Who is the child "kept from the gods below"? What does Teiresias seem to foreshadow in this speech as a whole? What lines especially support your conclusion? ANTIGONE; PLYNEICES THAT THE MEMBERS OF CREON'S FAMILY WILL DIE BY THE GODS' REVENGE; "THE TIME IS NOT FAR OFF WHEN YOU SHALL PAY BACK/CORPSE FOR CORPSE, FLESH OF YOU OWN FLESH." (LL. 79-80) 5. What does Teiresias advise Creon to do? What does Creon first think of Teiresias' advice? How does Creon change his plans after listening to Teiresias? RELEASE ANTIGONE AND BURY POLYNEICES; HE'S ANGRY AT FIRST, BUT HE REFLECTS ON HIS WISDOM AND DECIDES TO TAKE HIS ADVICE; HE DECIDES TO BURY POLYNEICES FIRST, THEN RELEASE ANTIGONE. 6. In the Paean, what does the Chorus mean by asking Dionysus to come "with clement feet"? What is ironic about this plea? TO SAVE THEBES FROM TRAGEDY, THE AUDIENCE KNOWS THAT IT COMES TOO LATE. 6 Antigone Study Questions Exodos pp. 733-737 1. Whom does the theme in ll.3-6 most apply to? Why? CREON, BECAUSE HE WAS "RAISED UP" TO THE KINGSHIP AND IS ABOUT TO SUFFER A COMPLETE DOWNTURN IN HIS FORTUNES. 2. Why does the messenger say that Creon has lost all? DEAD, CREON'S JOY IN LIFE IS GONE. NOW THAT CREON'S SON IS 3. What murder has been committed? How? ANTIGONE IS DEAD, HAVING HANGED HERSELF AFTER BEING IMPRISONED BY CREON WHOM THE MESSENGER REGARDS AS RESPONSIBLE FOR HER DEATH. 4. How did Haimon die? UPSET BY ANTIGONE'S DEATH, HE TRIES TO STAB HIS FATHER THEN FALLS ON HIS OWN SWORD TO DIE. 5. What was done with Polyneices' body? REMAINS WERE BURNED. HE WAS GIVEN A RITUAL BATH AND HIS 6. What happens to Eurydice? Whom does Creon blame for the deaths of his son and his wife? SHE STABS HERSELF CURSING HER HUSBAND; CREON BLAMES HIMSELF 7. How has Creon changed? HE IS NO LONGER PROUD; HE IS A FATHER MOURNING THE DEATH OF HIS SON, AS SHOWN BY HIS SARCASTIC REFERENCE TO HIS OWN FORMER "CIVIC WISDOM." 8. How would paraphrase the main idea of the final four lines of the play? LIFE 9OR SUFFERING) TEACHES THE PROUD THAT IT IS BEST TO SUBMIT THE WILL FO THE GODS FROM THE BEGINNING. TO 9. How would you describe the major conflict in Antigone? Is the conflict between absolute good and absolute evil, or is the conflict between opposing views of what is good? What position does Sophocles seem to take on this question? THE MAJOR CONFLICT IS BETWEEN 2 GOODS: RULE BY GOVT. LAWS VS. ADHERENCE TO SPIRITUAL LAWS OR VALUES. SOPHOCLES SEEMS TO FEEL THAT STATE CANNOT OVERRULE A HIGHER RELIGIOUS MORALITY.

CREON JOCASTA HAIMON MAGAREUS ETEOCLES POLYNEICES JOCASTA = LAIUS = OEDIPUS ISMENE ANTIGONE Antigone Plot Summation A summary is a brief restatement of key events and ideas in your own words. It can be a useful tool in preventing you from getting lost in details, thus helping you to see the big picture. After each section of the play, record two or three sentences that reveal the key events and ideas for that section. 9 Section Summary Prologue The reader meets Antigone who wants to bury her brother Polyneices, just like her brother Eteocles who was laid to rest with military honors. She feels that it is a "holy crime" that she must commit so her brother can rest with his ancestors in Hades, despite King Creon's rule that forbids the burial. Ismene (the weaker sister) does not want to go against Creon's edict because she is afraid of the penalty (death) and feels inferior as a woman. The reader meets the Chorus (made up of Senators) that summarizes the battle that Polyneices led against Thebes. The Choragos (leader of the chorus) ends by reminding readers of the two brothers' class and ultimate death, and then the chorus speaks of the beautiful morning setting in Thebes that conveys praise and hope. Creon is introduced to the reader in person via this scene as he forbids any of his subjects to bury Polyneices, who he considers to be a traitor to Thebes. The Sentry, who sputters out his bad news to the king, provides comic relief. He informs Creon of the symbolic burial of Polyneices. Creon threatens to kill him if he does not find the culprit. The Sentry ends the scene by almost accusing Creon of a guilty conscience for his actions against Polyneices. The Chorus upholds Creon's view that law is required to protect the city from anarchy (chaos). The Chorus praises human genius but notes mankind is unable to conquer death. The Sentry brings Antigone to Creon and she acknowledges that she knew she was breaking his decree by the burial, preferring God's law. Ismene joins the group and states that she is guilty too and want to die with Antigone, but Antigone refuses to let her "lessen my death by sharing it." We find that Antigone is supposed to be married to Haimon, Creon's son, but Creon remains firm in his decision to put her to death despite the relationship. Chorus states that the gods will always curse the house of Oedipus for arrogance and pride. Parados Scene 1 Ode 1 Scene 2 Ode 2 Scene 3 Ode 3 Scene 4 Ode 4 Scene 5 Paean Exodos Haimon and Creon discuss Antigone's fate, with the son at first appearing to accept the king's edit. However, Haimon tries to point out to his father that the public sides with Antigone but is afraid to say anything. Haimon says that "they say no woman has ever, so unreasonably, died so shameful a death for a generous act…" Angry, he threatens his father that one death will cause another and the men rage, with the king wanting Antigone to be killed immediately and in front of Haimon's eyes. The son leaves, vowing to never see his father again. Creon calms down, decides to fee Ismene (the one whose hands are clean), but plans to lock Antigone in a stone vault to allow nature to take its course. The Chorus reminds us that love is glorious, but it is so powerful that neither gods nor men can control it. Aphrodite, the goddess of love, is called merciless. Antigone, imprisoned and nearing death, alludes to never being a bride and refers to the loneliness of Niobe's death. She protests her family's curse and says she wants pity. The Chorus sympathizes but reminds her that she made a choice on her own and must meet justice. Creon remains unmoved. The Chorus recaps the myths of noble and half-immortal people who, like Antigone, met tragic deaths through fate or destiny. Teiresias (the blind prophet) tells Creon disturbing predictions and begs him to allow Polyneices' burial, but the king accuses the seer of taking bribes. After Teiresias leaves, the Choragos urges Creon to appease the gods and Creon becomes contrite (full of remorse), rushing to bury Polyneices and free Antigone. The Chorus begs Dionysus to be merciful but the audience knows it is too late. (irony) This includes the climax and resolution. The Messenger tells Eurydice (the queen and Creon's wife) of Antigone's self-hanging and Haimon's attempt to kill Creon for revenge before he turned the knife on himself. Eurydice leaves the scene followed by the Messenger as Creon enters with Haimon's body. The messenger returns with news that the queen stabbed herself, cursing Creon for both her sons' deaths (Haimon and Megareus). The king wishes for death as he accepts all the guilt and is led away. The Choragos states that pride is always punished and that only submission to the gods brings wisdom and happiness. 10 Climax: SCENE 3 CREON SENDS ANTIGONE TO THE CATACOMBS (CAVE) TO DIE Complication: SCENE 2 AND 3 ANTIGONE IS CAPTURED AND BROUGHT TO CREON; HAIMON AND CREON ARGUE ABOUT THE FATE OF ANTIGONE; CREON STANDS FIRM Rising Action: SCENE 1 CREON MAKES THE DEATH THREAT CLEAR TO ALL; SENTRY REPORTS THAT SOMEONE HAS ATTEMPTED TO BURY POLYNEICES Exposition: PARADOS CHORUS GIVES BACKGROUND INFO ON THE BATTLE BETWEEN THE BROTHERS AND SETS THE TONE FOR SCENE 1 Inciting Moment: PROLOGUE THE SISTERS ARGUE ABOUT WHETHER TO FOLLOW THE LAWS OF THE GODS OR THE EDICT OF CREON Reversal (Turning Point): SCENE 5 TEIRESIAS ADVISES CREON TO FREE ANTIGONE AND BURY POLYNEICES OR FACE TRAGEDY HIMSELF; THE CHORUS REJOICES IN CREON'S AGREEMENT Falling Action: EXODOS A MESSENGER TELLS THE CHORUS BOTH ANTIGONE AND HAIMON HAVE KILLED THEMSELVES Catastrophe: EXODOS EURYDICE HEARS ABOUT THE DEATH OF HAIMON AND KILLS HERSELF Moment of Last Suspense: EXODOS CREON BLAMES HIMSELF FOR THE DEATH OF HIS WIFE AND SON AND BEGS FOR AN EARLY DEATH 11 Antigone: Scene 1, Ode 1 Internal Struggle Do you sympathize with some characters and how they resolve internal conflicts, but not with others? Under each name, list an internal conflict with which that character struggles and write your reasons for supporting or disagreeing with the character's resolution of the conflict. ANTIGONE THE SENTRY CONFLICT: BURY VS. HONOR DECREE CONFLICT: TELL OR NOT TELL CREON YOUR VIEW: BURY YOUR VIEW: TELL ISMENE KING CREON CONFLICT: HELP ANTIGONE VS. NOT HELP CONFLICT: LET BURY OR NOT LET BURY YOUR VIEW: SHOULD HAVE HELPED; SHE IS WEAK YOUR VIEW: SHOULD HAVE ALLOWED BURIAL; TOO MUCH PRIDE 1. What did you think about the Choragos's words in line 113 of Scene 1 when he says, "I have been wondering, King; can it be that the gods have done this?" Did your opinion of the Choragos change after hearing this speech? Why or why not? YES, THEY APPEAR TO "GENTLY" TELL CREON HE IS IN THE WRONG; THEY SEEM TO BE TAKING A SIDE…AFRAID TO GO AGAINST AUTHORITY. 2. Would you feel differently about King Creon if his first speech had occurred at the beginning of 12 the play, rather than after the dialogue between Antigone and Ismene? YES, WOULD HAVE SIDED WITH HIM FIRST Antigone: Characters' Motives In Antigone, the actions of Antigone, Creon, and Ismene have serious and lasting consequences. Why do these characters behave as they do? The inner drive or impulse that makes a person act in a certain way is called motive. Like people, characters in a play also have motives. You can understand the action of a play if you identify with the characters' motives. Questions What is Creon's motive for forbidding Polyneices' burial? What is Creon's motive for arresting Ismene as well? What is Ismene's motive for accepting Antigone's crime? What is Antigone's motive for refusing Ismene's help? Motive THOUGHT HE WAS A TRADER FEELS SHE COVERED FOR ANTIGONE; AFTER ALL, THEY'RE SISTERS. WANTS TO SHARE IN THE HONOR AND PRIDE; DOES NOT WANT TO BE ALONE MATTER OF PRIDE; Support Evidence SCENE 1, LINE 42 "POLYNEICES, WHO BROKE HIS EXILE TO COME BACK WITH FIRE AND SWORD AGAINST HIS NATIVE CITY AND THE SHRINES OF HIS FATHERS' GODS WHOSE ONE IDEA WAS TO SPILL BLOOD." SCENE 2, LINE 89 "HER MIND'S A TRAITOR; CRIMES KEPT IN THE DARK." SCENE 2, LINE 137 "DO YOU REFUSE ME, ANTIGONE? I WANT TO DIE WITH YOU; I TOO HAVE A DUTY THAT I MUST DISCHARGE TO THE DEATH." SCENE 2, LINE 135 "THE DEAD MAN AND THE 13 WANTS THE LABEL OF MARTYR FOR HERSELF GODS WHO RULE THE DEAD KNOW WHO ACT THIS WAS. WORDS ARE NOT FRIENDS." Antigone: Imagery Quote Choragos: Parados, lines 8-13 "Polyneices, their commander, roused them with windy phrases. He the wild eagle screaming insults above our land. His wings their shields of snow, his crest their marshaled helms." Imagery Interpretation WILD OPPONENT AND ENEMY OF HIS NATIVE CITY Creon to the Chorus: Scene 1, lines 11-35 "I have summoned you here this morning because I know that I can depend upon you…No one values friendship more highly than I; but we must remember that friends made a the risk of wrecking our Ship are not real friends at all." STATE OF SOCIETY AND ITS LAWS Haimon to Creon: Scene 3, lines 80-85 "In flood time you can see how some trees bend, and because they bend, even their twigs are safe. While stubborn trees are torn up, roots and all. And the same thing happens in sailing: make your sheet fast, never slacken and over you go, head over heels and under: and there's your voyage." TELLS CREON IT'S WISE TO BE FLEXIBLE; IF CREON IS INFLEXIBLE, HE WIL BE UPROOTED AND OVERTURNED AS KING Choragos: Scene 4, lines 1-4 "But I can no longer stand in awe of this, nor seeing what I see, keep back my tears. Here is Antigone, passing to that chamber, where all find ANTIGONE BEING TAKE TO JAIL TO DIE 14 sleep at last." Antigone to the Chorus: Scene 4, lines 57-66 "O tomb, vaulted bridal bed in eternal rock, soon I shall be with my own again where Persephone welcomes their ghosts underground, and I shall see my father again, and you mother, and dearest Polyneices. Dearest indeed, to me, since it was my hand that washed him clean and poured the ritual wine: and my reward is death before my time." SHE WILL DIE AS A RESULT OF HER CRIME, AND BE REUNITED WITH HER FAMILY IN THE AFTERLIFE. Literary Focus: Irony Irony is the contrast between what is actually true or what will actually happen and what the characters say, believe, or expect. Use the character below to illustrate the use of irony in the final scenes of the play. For each line listed, summarize the ironic contrast. Quote Explanation of the Irony Creon's Proclamation of the edict: "I am aware, of course, that no ruler can expect complete loyalty from his subjects until he has been tested in office." He has no loyalty whatsoever; many do not believe in what he is doing. Creon at Antigone's arrest: "The inflexible heart breaks first, the toughest iron cracks first, and the wildest horses bend their necks at the pull of the smallest curb." Ironically, all of these words apply to Creon himself and not Antigone. Creon to Haimon: "You'll never marry her while she lives." He marries her in "death." They'll be together eternally in the afterlife. He commits suicide because of his father. 15 Creon to his servants: "Bring Axes, servants. Come with me to the She is already dead when proclaims this; it is too Antigone: Tragic Hero or Heroine Who is the tragic figure in Antigone? Some argue that Creon is the real tragic hero. To support their position, they offer the following evidence: Creon undergoes a dramatic change, whereas Antigone's fate is determined in the first scene and she disappears from stage halfway through the play. The deaths of Haimon and Eurydice are meaningful only to Creon, not to Antigone. And it is the body of Creon's son that is carried onstage, not Antigone's body. The classical scholar, H.D.F. Kitto, has suggested that Antigone is built on a "double foundation," and that the play's "center of gravity does not lie in one person, but between two." Kitto says that "of the two, the significant one to Sophocles was always Creon." What do you think? Are there two tragic figures in this play or only one? If you think there is only one, who is it? To help you decide, apply each of the following questions to Antigone and Creon. Questions 1. What error in judgment or frailty in character did the tragic figure display? 2. At what point in the play might the character have saved himself/herself from a tragic downfall? 3. Define the character's downfall. How did he/she change during the course of the play? 4. What emotions did the character's downfall arouse in you? 5. Which character appears to be more committed to a principle? 6. Which character's fall is brought about by frailty of character? Antigone PRIDE; VALUED DIVINE LAW OVER HUMAN LAW TRIED TO NEG0TIATE WITH CREON OVER DECREE TOO MUCH PRIDE; GOES AGAINST PUBLIC OPINION; DICTATOR CONSIDERED PUBLIC OPINION AND ALLOWED BURIAL HEADSTRONG/PROUD PROUD SYMPATHY DISLIKE MORE COMMITTED NOT COMMITTED ANTIGONE, BUT COMES WITH CONSEQUENCES STRUGGLES WITH CHOICES; "WISHY, WASHY" MULTIPLE DEATHS AFFECT HIS LIFE 7.

The American Cancer Society (ACS) has almost countless programs and means of support and education for patients and their families. They provide a wide range of services for people with every type of cancer. From classes that boost the self-esteem of chemotherapy patients, to fundraisers that really do bring people together, it was impossible that the ACS didn't make this list. You can find many fun ways to support them and volunteer with them. They have been at it for over 100 years. The other factor is that the ACS is the largest nongovernmental funder of cancer research in the United States. They are trying to work themselves out of a job, creating "a world with more birthdays."

This organization was founded because of a promise between Nancy G. Brinker and her dying sister, Susan G. Komen. The foundation hopes to eradicate the disease, having invested more than 2.6 billion dollars since 1982. They are one of the best when it comes to cancer organizations. If the only thing you know about Komen is the Race for the Cure, you are seeing only a small part of their public face. The foundation attacks breast cancer in multiple ways. They fund research, community health outreach, advocacy and public policy initiatives. They are in 30 countries around the world. They have helplines, message boards and programs for breast cancer patients and survivors. They fund research and clinical trials. They fund breast cancer education and screening programs in 18,000 communities in the U.S. They are the voice of breast cancer patients and survivors in advocating for public policy.

Gilda's Club's motto is "Living with Cancer? Come as you are!" This organization was founded in honor of Gilda Radner, who lost her battle with cancer years ago. Their mission is to focus on living with cancer and to offer emotional and social support. This is by far one of my favorites. In 2009, it merged with The Wellness Community to become the Cancer Support Community. It continues to provide emotional and social support through local affiliates and satellite locations.

The Livestrong Foundation is a survivor itself. It was first included on this list before the fall from grace of founder Lance Armstrong, who is no longer in the charity organization but is a donor. Their motto is "Live Strong." The fighting spirit of the motto is inspiring to many who face cancer. They have an excellent support website for patients of all ages. Nobody can dispute that Lance went through devastating cancer treatment before his tainted Tour de France wins. He founded this organization to advocate cancer survivorship. It lives on.

up All-England club highlights
Roddick helped about a dozen people, including fellow tennis players, escape a fatal hotel fire in May before the Italian Open. One, Schalken, will be his quarterfinal opponent at Wimbledon.
Second-seeded Roddick reached the final eight at the All England Club by beating Alexander Popp 7-5, 6-4, 6-4 Monday. No. 12 Schalken made it that far for the third straight year, ending No. 30 Vince Spadea's surprising run 6-2, 7-5, 3-6, 6-2.
"Any time you share a very traumatic situation, and kind of share that fear with someone, and get out of it — there's always something there," Roddick said. "I don't know what that is, but there is kind of something between us now. By the same token, we're both going to try to win a Wimbledon quarterfinal."
They and other pros were in Rome the weekend before the start of a clay-court tournament when their hotel caught fire, killing three guests. Schalken was on the seventh floor, Roddick on the sixth. So Roddick waited on his balcony, with outstretched arms, to catch Schalken when he jumped down. Both then were able to use fire truck ladders to reach the ground.
Three days after the fire, Roddick lost at the Italian Open, his only first-round defeat in 2004.
"Rome was probably the first time in my life I was out on the court and could care less if I won or lost," Roddick said. "I wanted to go home, and I wanted to see my family."
Centre Court Play begins at 8 a.m. Serena Williams (1), U.S., vs. Tatiana Golovin, France Ai Sugiyama (11), Japan, vs. Maria Sharapova (13), Russia Justin Gimelstob and Scott Humphries, U.S., vs. Bob and Mike Bryan (2), U.S. Rainer Schuettler, Germany, and Barbara Schett, Austria, vs. Andy Ram, Israel, and Anastassia Rodionova, Russia Court 1 Play begins at 8 a.m. Nadia Petrova (10), Russia, vs. Jennifer Capriati (7), U.S. Lindsay Davenport (5), U.S., vs. Karolina Sprem, Croatia Leander Paes, India, and Martina Navratilova, U.S., vs. Sebastian Prieto, Argentina, and Emmanuelle Gagliardi, Switzerland Todd Woodbridge and Alicia Molik (8), Australia, vs. Yves Allegro and Myriam Casanova, Switzerland Court 2 Play begins at 7 a.m. Amelie Mauresmo (4), France, vs. Silvia Farina Elia (14), Italy Jonas Bjorkman, Sweden, and Todd Woodbridge (1), Australia, vs. Rick Leach and Brian MacPhie, U.S. Men's 45: John Newcombe and Tony Roche, Australia, vs. Stan Smith, U.S., and Guillermo Vilas, Argentina Gaston Etlis, Argentina, and Sun Tian Tian (14), China, vs. Jonas Bjorkman, Sweden, and Rennae Stubbs (4), Australia Robbie Koenig, South Africa, and Els Callens, Belgium, vs. Mark Knowles, Bahamas, and Virginia Ruano Pascual (2), Spain
He and Schalken knew each other before, of course, and now they've grown closer, practicing together the day before the start of Wimbledon. But they haven't squared off in a match that counted since the fire; Roddick is 4-1 against Schalken, including three straight victories.
"I hope he's thinking about that a little bit, and taking it easy on me. He didn't do that the last three times," Schalken said. "Before and after, we'll be good friends, and on the court, we'll try to win."
If their match Wednesday is the most intriguing, then the best quarterfinal on paper pits the Grand Slam tournament's last two champions: Roger Federer and Lleyton Hewitt.
The other men's quarterfinals are No. 5 Tim Henman — who eliminated 2003 runner-up Mark Philippoussis — against unseeded Mario Ancic, and No. 10 Sebastien Grosjean against unseeded Florian Mayer.
Federer stretched his winning streak on grass to 21 matches, and his successful holds of serve at the All England Club to 89 games with a 6-3, 7-6 (7-3), 7-6 (7-5) victory Monday over 6-foot-10 Ivo Karlovic.
It's tough to decide which is more impressive: the way Federer is serving, or the way he completely neutralized the wicked serve of the tour's tallest player.
Karlovic pounded 95 aces through his first three matches. He managed just 14 Monday. An explanation?
"I was playing against Federer, who returns unbelievable," said Karlovic, who stunned Hewitt in the first round last year.
Repeatedly, the defending champion figured out a way to put his racket on serves that reached 140 mph, and he didn't just tap them back over the net. At least five times, Federer swatted return winners.
Then there's Federer's serve. He faced only two break points Monday, both while serving at 4-2 in the first set. Federer erased the first with a service winner, and the second with a forehand winner off a short return. Overall, he won an astounding 79 of 96 points he served against Karlovic.
Through four matches, Federer has dealt with six break points, saving all. That's a major reason for his streak on grass, which would reach 24 matches if he wins the tournament — one better than Pete Sampras' best run on the surface.
"I have to say, every match on grass has been quite unbelievable. I've always played great tennis," Federer said. "This is good, looking ahead, because from here on, only tough opponents will come my way."
Starting with Hewitt, who got past No. 9 Carlos Moya 6-4, 6-2, 4-6, 7-6 (7-3).
"I believe I can beat him," Hewitt said. "It's going to be an extremely tough match. He's the best player out there at the moment. He's not No. 1 for nothing."
The last player to break Federer's serve at Wimbledon? Schalken, in last year's quarterfinals, 89 games ago. Schalken also happens to be the only player who won a set against Hewitt during his 2002 title run.
Everyone seems to enjoy Federer's smooth shotmaking, including 1999 Wimbledon champion Lindsay Davenport.
"As a tennis fan, you have to think Roger Federer is the most amazing thing to watch," Davenport said after beating No. 12 Vera Zvonareva 6-4, 6-4. "The way he plays, the way he moves, the way he acts — if you were to mold a perfect tennis player, that would be him."
Her next opponent is Karolina Sprem, a 19-year-old who knocked off a seeded player for the third straight match, beating No. 21 Magdalena Maleeva to follow wins over Venus Williams and No. 32 Meghann Shaughnessy. Another teen, Maria Sharapova, advanced to meet Japan's Ai Sugiyama, the first Asian quarterfinalist at Wimbledon since 1997.
"There's no pressure. Who has an opportunity in life like I do right now at the age that I am? Not too many people," Sharapova said. "And, hey, if I feel that I have too much pressure, I'll just leave. I mean, I'm 17 years old. What do I have to lose in this world?"

Exercise Tips For Men
Fitness for mind and body.
Which comes first, cardio or strength training? Unless your primary focus is strength training, do cardio after, not before, you lift weights. Or do it during another part of the day, or better still, on a separate day.
If you perform aerobic-type exercise first, you'll be fatigued for your weight training.
As a general rule, strength training has less of an impact on cardio than cardio has on strength training.
How do I know how many reps I should do?
Just how many reps to do can be equally as confusing as just how much weight to lift. Although, the amount of weight lets us know in a hurry if it's too much! The best rep range for gaining size is 8 to 20. The optimum results for muscle growth come from lifting a weight that's between 60 percent and 80 percent of what you could lift for one, and only one, repetition. At 80 percent, the average person can do eight to 10 reps; at 60 percent, he can do 15 to 20. Most people say anywhere from 6 to 12 reps is best for muscle growth, but six would be more than 80 percent.
Stretch before you train, and warm up before you stretch. First, do five to ten minutes of low-intensity exercise on a stationary bike or a treadmill. This will elevate your body temperature which helps avoid injury. Once you are are warmed up, stretch for another five to ten minutes, focusing your effort on those body parts you plan to train.
In addition, stretch the body part, or parts, being worked for 15 to 20 seconds after every set. And don't jump right out of your training mode. Follow with a brief cool down in which you basically keep moving for 5 minutes or so, with another 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. By the end of the workout, the streching should be welcomed as it feels so good!
Besides, working out gives a boost to your self-confidence, which, in turn leads to sex appeal. It's a win-win situation!

Double Michelin-starred chef Hélène Darroze's Espelette restaurant at The Connaught hotel served Dutch veal while its waiters claimed the meat was British.
The origin of veal is significant because animal welfare groups claim that calves raised outside Britain are kept in cruel conditions.
The delicacy is commonly created by force-feeding milk to calves and depriving them of light, space and fibre. British law requires farmers to feed calves more fibre, which makes the meat pinker. It is called British rosé veal.
Pressure group Compassion in World Farming shot a video secretly at the Espelette. It shows two waiters claiming the restaurant's £16 carpaccio of slow-cooked milk-fed veal with tuna and caper sauce is made with British meat. When asked where the veal was from, the waiter replies: "The veal is English, it is English." The customer later checks with another waiter who insists his colleague is right, saying: "I'm not sure if it's English, but it all comes from Allens across the road. He does only English meat."
Film shot inside butcher's shop Allens of Mayfair indicates the waiters were wrong. A butcher says: "A lot of people don't like it [veal], because of the way they keep it. They make them [the calves] drink milk all day ... They wouldn't allow it over here." Another member of staff confirmed the shop supplied the Connaught and other hotels with non-British veal.
Animal welfare campaigners and industry representatives called for greater transparency in restaurants.
Joyce D'Silva, Compassion in World Farming's director of public affairs, said: "It is scandalous that British hotels and restaurants are still importing veal when British farmers are raising their calves to a higher welfare standard. Shame on the Connaught for misinformation and their poor sourcing policy." Restaurant Association spokesman Miles Quest said: "It's always advisable for restaurants to be accurate in explaining what they're serving. Customers should always be told the provenance of meat."
The Connaught has taken the veal off the menu. It said: "There were some training issues within the team that meant the provenance of the veal had not been properly explained to them.
"They all know our meat comes from Allens of Mayfair and wrongly assumed the veal was British. As soon as we heard of the mistake it was explained to the whole team and we have improved all training on provenance of sources."
Allens said: "Our Dutch veal is sourced from farms that have the Foundation for Quality Guarantee of the Veal Meat Sector — the only fully inspected veal system in Europe.
"We can supply rosé veal which is British, but the standard one we stock is Dutch — which is what we supply the Connaught."

"First-time homebuyers are excited to discover how much more they get for their money at Briella," according to Deb Marton, Vice President of Sales for Centerline Homes. "Our new townhome pricing starts at just $179,900, which is more affordable than many of the re-sales available today. The Cobalt, just like all the Briella townhomes, is loaded with luxury features that don't cost extra – and when first-time buyers realize that they may be able to own a new residence at Briella for less than they're currently paying in rent, they are eager to call Briella home."
The Cobalt is a two-story townhome that encompasses 1,232 square feet under air and includes two bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths and a full-car garage. Upon entering, a dramatic first impression is created by the elegant 9-foot ceilings in the spacious grand room, which is perfect for entertaining, dining and simply relaxing in.

The Cobalt's second floor features a spacious master suite and bath with vanity, cultured-marble Roman tub, separate shower and walk-in closet. Also on this floor is a second bedroom suite with its own private bath and walk-in closet making The Cobalt a perfect starter home and ideal way for a roommate to help pay the mortgage.
Centerline Homes builds extraordinary value into each Briella townhome, like The Cobalt, by including many standard features, which are often expensive upgrades with other developers. The exterior of the townhomes feature impact-resistant windows and sliding glass doors, "S-style" concrete roofs, and brick paver driveways and walkways to enhance the classic Mediterranean architecture. Elegant coach lights and lush tropical landscaping add to the beauty and charm of the streetscapes. And Briella's beautiful clubhouse with its sparkling pool, spacious sundeck, fitness center, and tennis court is the social and recreational center of the community, making it the perfect place to meet neighbors and make new friends.
Briella's superb Hagen Ranch Road location in West Boynton Beach, near shopping, dining and entertainment, makes this community one of the most desirable in Palm Beach county.

A LADY Gaga gig has been cancelled after she was accused of spreading "satanic
teaching" by Islamic hardliners.
Fundamentalist groups in Indonesia branded the singer "vulgar" and indecent.
They believe she will corrupt the youth of the nation, which has the world's
largest Muslim population. And cops have backed them by refusing to issue a
permit for a Gaga concert in the capital Jakarta.
The city's 52,000-seat Gelora Bung Karno stadium had sold out for the June 3
gig — the biggest on Gaga's Asian tour — in two hours. But now fans have
been left disappointed and angry.
Some hardliners had even threatened to use force to prevent the 26-year-old
Born This Way megastar from setting foot on Indonesian soil.
Habib Salim Alatas, of the Islamic Defenders Front, said: "She had better not
dare spread her satanic faith here. Her style is vulgar, her sexual and
indecent clothes will destroy our children's sense of morality.
"She wears only panties and a bra when she sings and she stated she is the
envoy of the devil's child."
But gutted fan Mariska Renata, who had tickets, said cops had bowed to the
wishes of "trouble makers".
"I'm very disappointed. We are mature enough to be able to separate our own
moral values from arts and culture."
Last night the show's promoters Big Daddy declined to confirm it had been
canned. And it was not clear if it could be staged in another city.
