Worth fighting for
I didn't blog on the SUV terrorism at UNC because I didn't have anything signifigant to add. This opinion piece, in the Daily Tar Heel is a must read though.
But Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar – an Islamist who rented an SUV with the stated intent to kill students on campus to avenge Muslims worldwide – is not a "hit-and-run" criminal, as WRAL reported and others parroted.He is a terrorist.
We are a nation of disparate values. We cannot unite behind religion. We live among saints and sinners of every denomination and creed.
We cannot unite behind symbols – such as a flag that we alternately hail and ignite or a Bill of Rights some call gospel and others hypocrisy.
Islamist terrorists find one true path, while we embrace the possibility of multiple truths. There are few things in this country that we harmoniously coalesce behind and even fewer times when we speak with a united voice.
And that in and of itself is worth fighting for.
We must rise to defend our political space – a box on the editorial page for an offensive cartoon, a place on a shelf for an offensive book, a protest in the Pit with offensive signs – because in the end that is what we have that is worth fighting for.
Wonderfully written.

Revel In The Joys Of Pregnancy
Okay, you may be too nauseous during the first trimester and too tired in the third trimester to do the deed. But in that magic second trimester an increased blood flow to the pelvic area gives you greater sensitivity during sex, which equates to awesome orgasms. Yay!
Bigger boobs
Growing milk ducts lead to growing breasts. And flaunting a fuller bust line is definitely a fun benefit of pregnancy. Enjoy showing off your new found curves — we're sure your man will love this perk, too.
Shiny, fuller hair and long fingernails
You may notice the texture and sheen of your hair change during pregnancy. Thanks to pregnancy hormones, you'll lose less hair during pregnancy, which makes it appear fuller and more lush. Pregnancy hormones can also make your fingernails grow very quickly during pregnancy. But they can also become more brittle so take care of your digits by treating your pregnant self to regular manicures.
That glow
You've surely heard people say that you're "glowing." And, once again, hormones, as well as increased blood flow, are to thank for your newly brightened skin tone.
It brings out the best in others
You may be surprised at how many people love to rush to the "aid" of a pregnant woman (even if you don't really need it). Complete strangers may offer to carry your groceries or pump your gas and strike up conversation about your baby bump. And if you're getting this treatment from perfect strangers, imagine the pampering you'll receive from loved ones.
No periods
Being pregnant wipes out your period for the duration. If you breastfeed baby, your period may not return for years! Don't take that as a sign that you can skip birth control after you've welcomed baby, however.

Time Out says
Cirque du Soleil are churning out shows these days with a rather depressing regularity, but this one is a tried and tested show (a "classic" in the company's PR-speak) that has been seen by more than 10 million people. It stops in at two London arenas, Wembley and the O2, in July as part of a UK tour. It's difficult to see the circus troupe as anything other than a well-oiled money-making machine in which story-telling always comes second to commercial opportunity, but there's no doubting the incredible physical abilities of the athletes.

It is said that there must be opposition in all things, for without the bad, how would we recognize the good? Would the feel of victory be as sweet, if one had not tasted the bitterness of defeat? Having never been sick, could we truly appreciate our health? Would we recognize the true joy of happiness and love, if we had not first walked through the fields of heartache, disappointment, and pain? There is opposition in all things. Opposition brings variety and excitement to life. Opposition makes life sweeter.
This beautiful piece, "Opposition", is a reminder of such.

Location: Subtropical Insects and Horticulture ResearchTitle: Resistance of poncirus and citrus x poncirus germplasm to the Asian citrus psyllid Author
|Richardson, Matthew
|Hall, David
Submitted to: International Research Conference on Huanglongbing
Publication Type: Proceedings
Publication Acceptance Date: 12/5/2013
Publication Date: 2/6/2013
Citation: Richardson, M.L., Hall, D.G. 2013. Resistance of poncirus and citrus x poncirus germplasm to the Asian citrus psyllid. In: Proceedings of the International Research Conference on Huanglongbing, February 4-8, 2013, Orlando, Florida. Interpretive Summary: The Asian citrus psyllid, which is a worldwide pest that spreads citrus greening disease, may best be controlled by finding varieties of citrus that are resistant to the psyllid. We tested trifoliate citrus and trifoliate hybrids for resistance to the psyllid. Trifoliates were nearly all resistant, and some hybrids also were resistant. We are currently working to identify chemical volatiles produced by the plants that may influence host plant selection by the psyllid, and so far we have found differences in volatiles between resistant and susceptible plants.
Technical Abstract: The Asian citrus psyllid (ACP), Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, has spread to citrus growing regions nearly worldwide and transmits phloem-limited bacteria (Candidatus Liberibacter spp.) that are putatively responsible for citrus greening disease. Host plant resistance may provide the most effective control, but ACP has a broad host range and resistance in Citrus and relatives to ACP has not been widely documented. Very low abundances of ACP were found on two accessions of Poncirus trifoliata L. in a field survey. Therefore, we tested whether 81 accessions of P. trifoliata and xCitroncirus sp. (hybrids of P. trifoliata and Citrus spp.) from the USDA-ARS National Clonal Germplasm Repository for Citrus and Dates were resistant to ACP by determining whether these accessions influence oviposition and lifespan of adults in no-choice tests. There was a higher abundance of eggs on the control (Citrus macrophylla Wester) than nearly all accessions of P. trifoliata, and zero eggs were laid on 36% of the accessions. Additionally, more eggs were laid on the control than 10 of 34 accessions of xCitroncirus. Lifespan of adults was ~2.5-5 times longer on 11 of the 17 trifoliates and trifoliate hybrids we tested. P. trifoliata appears to have antixenosis and antibiosis resistance to ACP, but we must next identify the traits that promote resistance. To identify chemical mechanisms that may promote resistance, we collected volatiles from several pairs of closely related susceptible/resistant accessions of trifoliates and trifoliate hybrids and found differences in the volatile profiles.

This product has been retired from our catalog and is no longer for sale. This page is made available for those looking for datasheets and the simply curious.
Description: The Arduino Mega now has its very own prototyping shield! The SparkFun MegaShield mates with the Arduino Mega board and gives the user a prototyping area, two general LEDs, and, most important of all, the Arduino Mega reset switch is brought to the top level. The shield also works with our small breadboards if you don't want to solder to the prototyping area.
This comes in kit form and must be soldered together by the end user. Please note - we do not ship assembly instructions! All soldering is through-hole (relatively easy) but always check your component orientation before soldering!
Kit Includes:
I bought one of these and I really hated it. This board was designed to be the top board in the stack. None of the IO pins were brought to the interior of the board, so that you could solder to it. I got one of these http://www.nkcelectronics.com/megashield-kit.html and have been happy ever since.
Wow, you're not joking. This thing is next to useless.
ditto. nkcelectonics breaks out IO, provides a configurable bus (3.3 or 5v), and is overall far better designed.
Hello Mega Users,
I am working on a revision of this shield right now. I'm increasing the annular ring size across the board. I was wondering… would any of you find it useful to have a 3.3V bus? Is the 5V bus useful? I was also wondering if having more buses near the Analog inputs would be useful. Maybe I've been listing to too much of the Who http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bl9bvuAV-Ao Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! - Pete
Pete - Have you made your revision yet?
An ICSP header would be more than welcome. Also, the LEDs are definitely unnecessarily bright. I use the 5V and GND buses so definitely keep those. It might be nice to create extra through-hole connections to the headers - just one extra hole each might be nice.
I completely agree, thats a major flaw.
I think it would be nice to have an ICSP header in the corner across from the leds. I have a similar shield with an ICSP header, but I don't like how it is right in the middle of the shield (brought straight up from the Mega). I also think it would be useful to have a 3.3V bus (possibly split the 5v bus in half).
I love the stuff you guys at Sparkfun do but as other have mentioned, this board needs a bunch of improvements. As far as I can tell the 5v bus is not connected to 5v. All the pins should be brought to a via on the board we can solder too. The space over the USB jack needs to be cut our or not have holes so it does not get used.
Please, made us a new board that is better than the old one.
What good is a prototyping board that doesn't connect the prototyping area to the computer you're connecting to? Are we supposed to run wires from the top of the header connectors into the prototyping area? Note to SparkFun - this board is no fun.
WARNING: v1.3 of the eagle files have a connection error. J9 is incorrectly wired in library part. Highlighting, D22 in schematic shows D52 on the board. D24->D50, D26-D48, etc. Won't hurt the prototypers but using this lib part on your boards will make coasters. Cost me $200. Its just the old 'Gotch ya' of using someone else's part without checking every pin, my fault.
Comes with all 8 pin headers. You'll need 2 six pin headers and 2 2 pin headers. Good luck cutting the eight pin headers - these headers were never meant to be cut. This is really unacceptable.
I don't know about the annular ring size since I just got this kit and haven't soldered it yet. And I haven't used it yet, so can't render an opinion about the power buses.
But here are a few other comments on the kit:
1. LEDs: I don't know that the bright ones are really necessary, nor do they need to be 5mm. The smaller 3mm basic ones, like in the SFE store, would be just fine, I think.
Furthermore, I know it's very minor, but with the clear LEDs, you have to actually plug them in first to figure out which one is green and which is red.
2. Parts list: I think there is an error in the parts list for the connectors on the web page.
Doesn't the shield require 9 of the 8-pin female headers and 1 of the 6-pin female headers? The description says 11 and 1. (My kit was missing the 6-pin, by the way.)
Shouldn't there also be two 2-pin headers included as well, for the two ground and two +5V pins along the edge of the board (at the ends of the digital pins)? The main photo of the shield on the site shows them in place, but they aren't in the parts list (nor were they in my kit).
This shield should have a 6-pin header and 2 2-pin headers. Currently, it only comes with 8-pin headers. The shield will not be fully functional with this arrangement.
Another bummer is that the 6-pin header is at least available but I can not find the 2-pin header to finish building this kit.
You should really fix the schematic because the one header is wrong way around.
Anybody using this be aware that pins from 22 to 52 are actually 52 to 22. Barely noticed it myself.
Woe is me. Why didn't I read other comments and take them to heart. This board is poorly designed, and in my case, my Arduino Mega 2560 R3 won't even function when it's connected.
yeah – DO NOT BUY THIS SHIELD. it's terrible, and tbh, a bit crappy that you are still selling it after three years of complaints.
the IO pins need to have double holes so you can actually CONNECT TO THEM. seriously, it's such an obvious thing it is hard to imagine it wasn't done in the first pass FOUR YEARS AGO. also, it's way too expensive.
i'm buying Funduinos (MEGA 2560's, $15) and shields for $5 that are far, far better, from China. I really want to support hobbiest-friendly business, and i am willing (and do) pay more for the privilege,l but sheesh, the stuff has to work.
all shields have some frustration or other (they're all compromises) so "only top board" and lack of cutout over USB etc dont bother me much. but the basics need to be present at least.
sorry to gripe but this product is terrible and should be withdrawn.
oh great! the 5V buss touches the metal can of the USB connector. seriously i am actually going to throw out the three i bought (GRRR) and buy one from Adafruit for $2 less, then stock up on some from aliexpress.com (20 day ship time but $5/shield).
it's more work to use these than to buy replacements.
Two comments: * You should make this more like the Arduino protoshield (bring put all I/o pins and have general button and LED footprints) * you should sell the bare pcb after you have done that
None of the IO pins are connected to pads at the interior of the board. This makes soldering it more tedious and improvised than it would need to be. The 5v and GND bus are useful, but they would be more useful if they were positioned differently. Please re-design this board. Also, smaller LEDs would make it more aesthetically pleasing.
Isn't it really abount time these kits can with 2x 10 way header 7x 8 way header 1x 6 way header That way there would be no need to cut up the supplied 11x 8 way headers to make up the board
I used the eagle files of this shield for the base of a PCB shield and please note that there is a mistake. JP5 is correct in the schematic but flipped in the PCB version. You can see that pin one is on the left for JP5 where it should be on the right. This caused me a few hours of frustration so I hope that this helps you out or the schematic is changed!
I wish I read your reply. I was in the same boat as you yesterday. They flipped not just one but three headers 180 degrees, the D14-D21, the D22-D52, and the D23-D53. I was making some changes on my design that I used this design as the basis. Found the mistakes. Please correct them. It's sloppy. I won't trust SPE design as much anymore, plus it took them years to finally add current limiting resistors on their serial 7-segment LED displays. Another thing is the bottom left screw hold is 0.05" off to one side. This works fine on MEGA1280 but in MEGA2560, the screw hole was moved 0.05" to the left and this shield won't line up the screw holes.
According to the Eagle file (and the above pictures), the hole closest to the power jack location is out of position by 0.05" for use with either the Mega or the Due. It should be moved toward the power jack to correct the issue.
Will this shield work with the new Arduino Due?
Be careful, the Due's I/O is 3.3V, and this proto board has a +5V rail running down the middle of it. You will either have to avoid using this rail, or cut-and-jump the trace to the +3.3V pin on JP10.
I'm confused. The MegaShield is extended all the way over the usb connector, apparently to provide a few extra empty holes. But the USB connector is significantly higher than the female headers on the Mega. As it is, if I put the shield on top of the Mega there will be a gap between the shield and the headers on the Mega. This dramatically increases the chance of a wire clipping causing a short or pressure on the board causing something to snap.
This seems like a terrible design decision given that removing 4 rows of blank holes would eliminate this issue. Has anyone tried cutting off the last 4 rows of holes (which would also remove the LEDs, but I assume they are non essential) to allow the board to sit flat?
In addition to the other comments (extremely bright LEDs, board must be top of the stack, etc.) there is another significant problem, the 5V bus trace extends out over the grounded metal USB connector housing (check the image above). If you are not extremely careful you can very easily short the 5V shield trace to ground here. Put a piece of electrical tape on top of the USB connector! I hope sparkfun does a re-design on this one.
This item is a shame, holes are not aligned, there is no big digital connector and you have to build one from small ones
obviously it's almost impossible to get a correct alignment.
I usually got nice product from spakfun, what happened to this item ?
What were you guys thinking, drinking or smoking when you designed this?
You cant use stackable headers with it!
If it was meant to be used with a breadboard you sould have left the whole thing blank!
Sorry, I love your work, but this is crap!
And I bought 2!!!!!
Have a look at the DF Robot version, that's how it should be done!!
Are the connections from the Arduino Mega brought out to PCB holes? In other words, if I need to connect, for example, a digital input to a spot in the protoboard, can I just run a wire from one PCB hole to another or do I have to have a wire coming from the female header?
Also, will I have any issues using this with another shield on top?
Is there any good reason why the header holes centers are not all in the same line ?
It's so that when you are about to solder in the headers, they will stay in place due to friction, which makes it a bit easier.
The LEDs in this kit are WAY too bright! I got blinded by them every time I powered my Arduino on. So I replaced them with some other ones I had. Also, I noticed that the +5volt bus can be touching the metal casing of the USB jack. I am not quite sure if that would cause some damage, but I insulated it with some tape just in case. This works great with a little breadboard for quick prototyping.
why are the led so bright?
I'm guessing that you're supposed to cut two segments off of two of the pieces to make a piece with six segments and two pieces with two segments.
Additionally, the Eagle files will not unzip…
Don't need the ICSP unless reflashing the bootloader. A ten pin JTAG connector would be excellent. For serious debugging, the Aurdino IDE doesn't cut it. ( While your'e at it how about a JTAG ICE MKII clone. My JTAG ICE MKI won't work with the mega1280. The electrical is the same for all other JTAGs; something fishy that JTAG ICE MK1 won't work ).
No on the 3.3. With only 30mA, there is not much that it can be used for except an acel or gyro…unless you add a 500mA 3.3 LDO regulator. I have to use an auxillary 5vto3.3 board for my 3.3v XBEE module. No on the analog bus, but yes on power and ground bus along the PWM, and run them all the way along the "communication" pins too.( in servo pinout of course). Thanks.
Another minor thing to note, and ask about.
There is no through-hole on the board right under the SparkFun logo, nor are there any in the last row where "sparkfun.com" is screened on the top. This means you can not use an 8-pin header in either of the last two rows, which would be handy for an off-board connector.
It seems you could put the holes there and move the logo to the reverse side to make it more useful.
One last thing about instructions:
Another warning about soldering the LEDs in the correct orientation is probably even more important than the one about the resistors. Resistors are symmetrical, so it doesn't matter which way you insert them, but LEDs are not!
People not familiar with the schematic symbology won't know about which side of the LED illustration on the board represents the cathode and which is the anode, and whether the short or long lead is anode or cathode.
This really should be noted in instructions!
3. Instructions: I know your product page clearly says that you don't ship assembly instructions, but I think a simple note with some basic pointers in it would be useful. Here are some examples:
- Figure out which is the red LED and solder it on the board in the spot marked POWER. Figure out which is the green LED and solder it in the STAT spot.
- Check the resistors carefully! One is 10K ohm and the other two are 330 ohm. The slots on the board are marked correspondingly. Be sure to match the resistors with the right slot when you solder them on the board.
I wouldn't underestimate the value of very simple instructions or tutorials. They go a long way towards helping people get going with the technology. (I can read a schematic, but I bet not all early users of these tools can.) ladyada, for example, has done an excellent job of making useful instructions.
I DO like your taste in musical inspiration!

potential risk of shorting over usb jack and no pads to connect to arduino header pins…not sure what the point is without that…
Thanks for the feedback. I'll pass this along to our Engineers for consideration if this item comes up for revision.

-Includes a green and red LED, but doesn't label which is which and they are super-bright… a bit overkill for status lights. -5 v bus runs right over the USB connector, creating a shorting hazard. With proto board seated fully, this section of the board can't be used anyway as it is touching the USB connector. -Kit includes only 8 pin headers. One must be cut to length for the 6 pin spot (yet a 6 pin header is available in the Uno kit) and the other extra must be cannibalized to make two 2-pin connectors to cap off the large block on the end of the board. Not hard if you have good small side-cutters, but I cringe to think of using anything larger. -No breakouts for the headers; either need to make connections through the top or solder on the bottom. This would be nice for at least the main headers along the side, but who knows… maybe that would cost too much space.
Overall it works, but there are pitfalls.

The headers didn't fit into the PCB until the sides were sanded down. Once that was done, the shield would get stuck in the Arduino and took a lot of careful pulling to release it. I had planned on using this to quickly attach and detach the circuit from the Arduino, so this product was completely unusable.

I appreciate Sparkfun releasing the Eagle files as an Open Source resource. However, it appears that the names of the pads are in some cases reversed. This is very confusing. The symbolic names of the pads are in the opposite order than the silk screen. Since nothing is wired to these on this board, it doesn't matter, but if you are using this as base for designing your own PCB, it is very confusing.
The board is valuable but as another reviewer pointed out, you are going to end up with wires going into the female headers anyway. I am a beginner, but as others have suggested, it might be better to do pure breadboarding and then uses this design as the basis for a shield in the form of a custom PCB.
Aside from the issues others have mentioned… having to sand down the headers etc., my big issue was, as the previous reviewer mentioned, this thing doesn't carry the Arduino connections to the board.
Their tutorial shows jumpers connected to the headers, but that's just plain stupid! That's a breadboard, not a proto board. I want the headers to carry through to another shield (a touch sensitive TFT display) once I've wired up the proto board.
I threw the thing in that garbage and ordered the Adafruit proto board instead. That looks like it is what I was looking for in the first place.

Jordan Belfort STILL Greedy: Real 'Wolf Of Wall Street' Runs To Australia To Avoid Paying Restitution, Earns Millions From Movie, Motivational Speeches, DVD
- Peter Black , Design & Trend Staff Writer
- Jan, 31, 2014, 08:55 AM
Jordan Belfort, the real life slimeball who was portrayed by Leonardo Dicaprio in Martin Scorsese's outrageous and often hilarious "The Wolf of Wall Street," said that he was sorry for his crimes on "Piers Morgan Live" last week.
"I live with remorse, and that means I go out and do things actively to make up for the wrongs that I committed in the past," Belfort said on the show.
However, Belfort's lying ability made him over $100 million, so whether or not he's actually sorry is debatable.
Belfort now gives motivational speeches, for which he charges thousands of dollars per appearance. He also sells motivational DVD's, which cost $1,997, The NY Daily News reported.
"The Wolf of Wall Street" polarized critics and audiences. Many were disgusted by the film's relentless debauchery; others thought that Belfort's antics were entertaining and highlighted the unbridled aura of greed and hedonism that encompassed every aspect of his life.
One of the biggest complaints about the film was that it didn't discuss Belfort's victims, many of whom Belfort still owes money.
He is required to give 50% of his income to his victims, to whom he owes an estimated $110 million. Belfort has paid back $11 million of the restitution.
The "Wolf of Wall Street" has earned over $220 million worldwide, a portion of which was deposited into Belfort's bank account. Belfort has insisted that he will give "100%" of whatever he earns from the movie to the families of his victims, which he said will be "more than enough to pay back whoever is still out there."
The U.S. government said that this is a complete lie, and that Belfort high-tailed it to Australia soon after making the movie in order to avoid paying taxes.
"We want to set the record straight," Robert Nardoza, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney, told The Wall Street Journal. "Belfort's making these claims, and they're not factual. He's in Australia and using that loophole to avoid paying."
Belfort may now be sober, but it looks like he was never able to overcome his addiction to money.

|Article: Up to No. 2 in BCS, Ducks await No. 5 Stanford
The newly compiled Bowl Championship Series rankings released Sunday saw Oregon jump past Florida State into the No. 2 spot, putting the Ducks into position to play for the national championship should they avoid slipping over the next few weeks.
A week ago, Oregon was No. 3 with a .9320 average in standings that utilize two human polls and six computer rankings. Florida State was at No. 2 with a .9348 average, and Alabama was No. 1 at .9841.
On Sunday, Alabama had strengthened its hold on the top spot, at .9937. But Oregon is now in second, with a .9517 average, and the Seminoles slipped to .9211.
Oregon is as high as No. 2 for the third time in four years, and the fourth time overall. The Ducks were No. 1 or No. 2 in all eight BCS rankings before playing for the title in 2010, and were No. 2 for one week each in 2007 and 2012.
In 2007, the Ducks lost on a Thursday night the week after reaching No. 2, and last season they lost to Stanford after doing so. This season both trends will be in play, with Oregon playing at BCS No. 5 Stanford on Thursday, Nov. 7, after a bye this weekend.
"All of that stuff doesn't matter for a couple more months," UO coach Mark Helfrich said Sunday afternoon, before attending the Oregon men's basketball team's exhibition opener. "All of those numbers will change. We just need to worry about ourselves."
The Ducks will hold three practices this week, Tuesday through Thursday, "to try to get our young guys a bunch of work, and then also get healthy," Helfrich said.
Preparation for the Stanford game will begin Saturday. The Ducks will look to avenge their 17-14 overtime loss to the Cardinal last season, the only blemish on a 12-1 season.
"There's some things they did really well last year, and things we didn't do so well," Helfrich said. "That's on us as coaches, to flop that ratio."
Among the biggest challenges the Ducks will face should be Stanford's veteran front seven. Oregon received a stiff test for its offensive line against UCLA's athletic defensive linemen and linebackers, and the Cardinal could present an even tougher challenge due to a more diverse scheme.
"In terms of a 3-4 team that plays a bunch of guys with talent, and a physical, fast defense, they're very similar," Helfrich said. "… (Stanford) is a bunch of experienced guys that are playing really well. They've done a great job of varying things — they look a little bit different every week, but they're always playing hard and always sound."

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
You have rights to feel however you wish. There is nothing wrong with that. However, you do not have a right to blame him. You both are not in a commited relationship and have no obligations. You have a right to feel upset because you wished he had called you, but since he is not obligated you can not get mad at him. What you can do is converse with him. Let him know how you feel and what you would like. There is nothing wrong with wanting to talk instead of text. You just need to understand that he may not have been able to talk at that time, but can talk another. Just keep communication opened with him and let him know that you would like to talk more. That is perfectly fine. I wish you all the best!

Syria: whos going to jump next? (NEW YORK POST OP-ED) By AMIR TAHERI 08/07/12)
Source: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/opinion/opedcolumnists/syria_who_going_to_jump_next_UWM9m0G62hnForTtsp2SuM
NEW YORK POST Articles-Index-Top
Who will jump next? In the wake of Syrian Prime Minister Riad Hijabs defection, thats the question making the rounds in Damascus.
Hijab, a high official of the ruling Baath Party, had headed several ministries before being asked by President Bashar al-Assad to lead the government. The highest-ranking political figure to defect so far, he has appealed to other top officials to abandon this murderous and terrorist regime.
His spokesman, Muhammad Otri, said Hijab decided to jump ship after failing to persuade Assad to stop the massacre of Syrian people.
As prime minister, Mr. Hijab had worked out a plan to find a political solution to the nations tragedy, Otri said in a phone conversation yesterday. He became persuaded that Assad cant change his nature and that Syria must turn a page.
Its unclear what Hijabs political solution was, but Otri claimed both Russia and Iran had been informed of its content and vetoed it, insisting on continuation of the iron fist strategy to crush the popular uprising.
Irans opposition to the plan was relayed to Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallem during a visit to Tehran last week. But now Syrian sources claim that Muallem (a former ambassador to Washington) may well be the next senior official to defect.
Accompanied by two Cabinet ministers, the defecting prime minister has told Jordanian officials that more officials wish to defect but are concerned about family members theyd have to leave behind.
So far, eight Cabinet ministers and 19 members of parliament have joined the uprising, along with other high-ranking defectors, such as former Vice President Abdul-Halim Khaddam.
The largest number to come over are military. So far, 13 generals, including Assads childhood friend Manaf Tlas, have switched sides. Twenty-two midranking officers have also defected, along with more than 30,000 NCOs and conscripts. The latest high-profile military defector is Col. Yaarab Sharaa, who headed the Security Office for Damascus.
At least 12 diplomats have changed sides, including five ambassadors, with more expected soon. According to Syrian sources, some ambassadors including Assads man at the United Nations, Bashar al- Jaafari are awaiting the outcome of the battle for Aleppo before jumping ship.
Also reportedly on the brink: Deputy Prime Minister Qadri Jamil and Finance Minister Muhammad Jalilati.
Syrian sources claim that even the Defense Minister Oman Ghalawanji, the general named as caretaker prime minister yesterday, may be having second thoughts about Assads strategy of rule by massacre.
Ghalawanjis appointment underlines the fact that the Assad regime may have lost its civilian tentacles, depending on what is left of the military and security for survival. That, however, is a classical Syrian recipe for a military coup.
Since its creation as a state in the 1940s, Syria has experienced at least six military coups that followed popular revolts. But this time the uprising is of such a magnitude that nothing short of full regime change may be able to bring it under control.
Fearing a coup, Assad has divided the ground forces into three separate commands, making it difficult for the top brass to act in unison. Hes also keeping the air force and the navy under his direct command, possibly as part of a Plan B for seizing control of the coastal area around Tartus and transforming it into a mini-state for his Alawite community.
Assads mini-state could seek protection from the Russian aero-naval base in Tartus as well as from a nearby outpost of Irans Islamic Revolutionary Guard.
Yet, in their coverage of the Syrian crisis yesterday, even Russian and Iranian propaganda injected a note of doubt about Assads chances of survival.
The head of Irans High Council of National Security, Saeed Jalili, arrived in Beirut yesterday with new ideas on how to handle the crisis. He will preside over a meeting of Hezbollah leaders to discuss the groups participation in protecting the Resistance Front in Syria. That ambiguous phrase has replaced Tehrans previous mantra about defending President Assad against terrorist enemies.
Unable to travel to Damascus, Jalili is to meet an emissary of Assad in Beirut to deliver a message from Iranian Supreme Guide Ali Khamenei. (Copyright 2011 NYP Holdings, Inc. 08/07/12)

Birding Howard County, Maryland
Site Locations
Current page
Brighton Dam
Triadelphia Reservoir
2 Brighton Dam Road, Brookville, Maryland 20833
The dam spans the southern end of the reservoir. Brighton Dam Road runs along the top of the dam.
Standing on Brighton Dam facing north, one is looking at a cove of Triadelphia Reservoir. The wooded edges on the east are in Howard County; those on the west are in Montgomery County. There may be unvegetated spits of land visible depending on the height of the water. A small section of the main reservoir can be seen in the distance. Both orange and white buoys serve as convenient perches.
Best Months:
Late fall to early spring is usually the most productive. Although the slowest time is late May through the first half of July, almost any period can be worthwhile.
Coverage Time:
From a few minutes to several hours.
Parking is in a gated lot on the Montgomery (southwest) side of the dam. A sidewalk runs along the north side of the dam adjacent to Brighton Dam Road. There is no sidewalk on the south side facing the Patuxent River. A picnic area below the dam is reached through a gate from the parking lot. It is open in warm weather during daylight hours.
Notable Birds:
Cackling Goose, Northern Shoveler, Redhead, Greater Scaup, Surf Scoter, White-winged Scoter, Black Scoter, Long-tailed Duck, Common Goldeneye, Red-breasted Merganser, Red-throated Loon, Red-necked Grebe, Western Grebe, Glossy Ibis, Bald Eagle, Rough-legged Hawk, Golden Eagle, Sandhill Crane, American Golden-Plover, Iceland Gull, Lesser Black-backed Gull, Glaucous Gull, Common Tern, Forster's Tern, Black Tern, Common Raven, Cliff Swallow (colony on dam).
Portable toilets in the paved parking lot. Free maps available in the information office in the cabin adjacent to the parking lot.
Handicapped Access:
Challenging. Crossing Brighton Dam Road is not always easy. The water is only visible over the almost four foot cement barrier adjacent to the sidewalk. The sidewalk is usually not shoveled after snowstorms.
Operation and Hours:
Triadelphia Reservoir is owned and managed by the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) and security is their number one concern.
Everyone needs a pass, which can be obtained at the cabin.
The reservoir is closed to public access from November 15 to March 15. During the winter, the view from Brighton Dam is the only consistent location from which to view any of the water (or ice). Hours are no longer posted on the gates, but, in winter, they may be open as early as 7:00 a.m. This is important because birds may be gone by 8:00 a.m. Gates nominally close at 4:00 p.m. but 3:45 p.m. is more accurate. Hours are longer in warmer weather. Gates are closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day. Parking in front of the gates during off hours is at your own risk—you may be told to leave. Parking on the road near the dam is dangerous as the traffic is usually heavy and hills on either side invite high speeds.
Special Attractions:
Besides the water, which is the main attraction, there is an azalea garden on the west side open for a few weeks each spring. It opens after waterfowl migration so the access doesn't gain much for birders trying to view the blind spot favored by ducks and mergansers, but the flowers draw many visitors.

Mecklenburg County deputies deal with spate of break-ins
SoVaNow.com / August 28, 2013
Mecklenburg County Sheriff's office responded to a spate of break-ins around the area over the past week. They began on Aug. 21 when Sgt. Jerry Jarman was called to a home on Airport Road in Chase City. The victim reported an 18,000 BTU air conditioner was removed from the home sometime between Aug. 13 and 21. Jarman estimated the value of the unit at $300.
On Aug. 25, Deputy Tim Garner investigated a breaking and entering complaint, which took place on Green Acres Road in Chase City. According Garner, the victim claimed that sometime between the afternoon of Aug. 24 and the early morning hours of Aug. 25, a bottle of vodka, several 20-ounce bottles of Pepsi products, and a box of chocolate ice cream were removed from his home. Garner estimate the value of the products at $30.
That same day, Deputy Natasha Brown was dispatched to the 2000 block of Averett Church Road in Clarksville to investigate a breaking and entering. The victim told Brown, while nothing was stolen, the perpetrator suffered some type of laceration, and there was an extensive amount of blood inside the residence. Brown reported that it appeared as if the offender forced entry through a window on the residence.
Finally, on Aug. 26 Deputy Tywanna Evans was called to investigate a vandalism complaint at a home on Stumps Dead End Road near Chase City. The complainant, who is the caretaker, reported that between August 19 and the date of the complaint, the front door of the property was vandalized. Since the property was vacant, there were not items of value inside, Evans reported, but estimated the damage to replace the door at $300.
If you witnessed any of these crimes or have information please call the sheriff's office at 434-738-6171, or you can remain anonymous and call the Mecklenburg County Crime Solvers at 1-888-624-2207.

A family fancy dress party to mark what would have been the 18th birthday of a girl from Watford who died in 2006 has raised more than £1,400 for the British Heart Foundation.
Ellie Sheppard, a pupil at Bromet Primary School, died a few weeks after her 11th birthday from an undetected heart problem called Brugada syndrome.
Together with family and friends, her mum, Donna Thornton, organised the party and raffle at Northwood Football Club last Friday (November 23) to celebrate Ellie's life and raise money for charity. So far the event has raised around £1,432.
Donna, 43, said: "I have been overwhelmed by the massive response to Ellie's 18th and the amount of money we have raised. We were hoping to raise a few hundred pounds, so to get into four figures is amazing.
"I can't thank everyone who helped out enough - from Andy Johnson and the guys at Northwood Football Club, who let us have the venue for free, to DJ Errol Taylor and local band Fast Track, who played free.
"Richard Harris and Donna Love minded the door and looked after us all.
"We even had a birthday cake in Ellie's favourite colour, purple, made by Joanne McKenna.
"Lots of Ellie's friends turned up: they have not forgotten her. Ellie would have been very happy and proud."
Ian Bolton, ex-Watford FC player drew the raffle and judged the fancy dress competition, and many local businesses and individuals donated raffle prizes.
The auction of a Tottenham Hotspur FC shirt signed by defender Steven Caulker raised £20, while a family photo shoot raised £85 at an auction on the night.

Apartment Filled With Marijuana Found In Blue Ash
(Blue Ash, Oh) The Blue Ash Police Department reports on Wednesday, April 23, BAPD received a drug complaint at an apartment building at 3793 Fox Run Dr. A resident of the building contacted police and the apartment manager after noticing the strong smell of marijuana. Apartment #206, where the smell originated, had been rented for just over a month. Officers served a search warrant and discovered approximately 220 pounds of marijuana in the otherwise empty apartment. The marijuana was packaged into half-pound bricks and has an estimated street value of approximately $225,000. This investigation is continuing. BAPD asks anyone with information about the case to contact Greater Cincinnati Crime Stoppers at (513) 352-3040 or Blue Ash Police at (513) 745-8555.

Most know it is a rare time when the New York Giants utilize the Franchise tag on a player, as they tend to be pretty amicable and open in communicating when working on contracts and extensions. This piece may very well me moot when it comes to Big Blue and how they do their players; however, some ask about NFL terms and some use them as if they're interchangeable. We just try to provide clarification from time to time.
Buying time with the placement of a franchise tag is how the Giants have used the rule. They haven't been one of the franchises that "trap" a player or another organization as done in the past. Some of you may remember the Steve Hutchinson poison-pill deal in 2006 (sent the All-Pro guard from Seattle to Minnesota). Since that happened, the transition tag was used once more (in 2008 by the Pittsburgh Steelers on Max Starks). Since the NFL Lockout and the new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), the rule has been altered.
Giants CEO John Mara reflected last March on the "poison pill" situation and how the most recent CBA changed it.
"Yes, that was a big part of our negotiation a couple of years ago because we wanted to take out the Hutchinson type of deals," Mara said in reference to ongoing negotiations and tag of wide receiver Victor Cruz. He also stated the addition by subtraction: "gives you a little bit more comfort, where if somebody does come forward with an offer, it gives you a fair chance to match it if you decide to do that."
However, this type of designation won't be used like its colleague designation, the franchise tag. There's one simple reason why: compensation.
While the salary portion of the rule hasn't changed per Article 10, Section 11 of said CBA:
"Other Terms: For the purposes of this Article, the Required Tenders of a one-year Player Contract for at least 120% (or 1 44%, if the player is eligible to receive such a Tender) of the Franchise Player's or 120% of the Transition Player's Prior Year Salaries shall in addition to the 1 20% or 144% Salary also include all other terms of the player's Prior Year contract, including any guarantees and any provisions providing for incentives or performance bonuses. In addition, a player who is designated as a Franchise Player or a Transition Player shall have the option of accepting a one year NFL Player Contract for 120% (or 1 44%, if the player is eligible to receive such a Tender) of the player's Prior Year Salary in lieu of a Player Contract for the average of the five (or ten, as applicable) largest applicable Salaries for players at his position, if he so wishes, regardless of which Player Contract is for a greater amount."
This doesn't mean they are one in the same. Basically, a transition player tag gives the club a first-refusal right to match within seven days an offer sheet given to the player by another club after his contract expires, like the franchise tag. The difference: if the team matches, it retains the player; if it does not match, no compensation is awarded to the team. Think of when Restricted Free Agent (RFA) wideout Victor Cruz had a first-round tag placed on him. If the situation presented and he been "transitioned" and eventually signed elsewhere, the New York Giants would get absolutely nothing.
What team wants absolutely nothing after attempting to keep a player they clearly want?

(CNSNews.com) - Recent arrests in a multi-million-dollar racketeering, obscenity and fraud case involving the distribution of obscene material hopefully is a harbinger of tougher federal action to come against the pornography industry, a representative of a leading anti-obscenity group said.
Patrick Trueman, an advisor to Morality in Media (MIM), said the indictment of seven people in Texas is the first of its kind for the Bush administration and hopefully won't be the last.
"You're going to see a ratcheting up of this issue of obscenity, both in the House and Senate - but now, apparently, at the Justice Department - and we're very pleased to see that," Trueman said.
Trueman also said he was encouraged by statements this week by Rep. John Sullivan (R-Okla.), who indicated he will introduce a resolution calling for vigorous prosecution of obscenity.
"This is a non-binding resolution, but it puts Congress on record after 10 years of no significant prosecution of supporting vigorous prosecution of obscene material, so I think that's a very good thing," Trueman said.
"In the Senate, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) indicated some time ago that he would do the same," Trueman added.
Federal authorities arrested five people in Texas and are seeking two others in connection with a porn-based business involving 27 outlets in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona.
The Department of Justice said the suspects were members of an organization that made money through the sale and distribution of obscenity, including child pornography.
A federal grand jury returned a 30-count indictment against the individuals, who allegedly transported child pornography and other obscene materials across state lines and created fake businesses as fronts for their illegal operations.
The indictment also seeks $9.7 million from the defendants, including 58 pieces of property across Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri and Utah, plus stock in several corporations.
"This is also a RICO [Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organization] obscenity case, so in addition to charging suspects with obscene material distribution, they are being charged with racketeering offenses, which gives higher penalties and can result in forfeiture of property once a conviction is rendered," Trueman said.
If convicted, the defendants face up to 20 years in federal prison per RICO charge and up to five years in federal prison for each of the remaining charges.
"This is a tactic we used successfully in the Reagan administration and the first Bush administration. I hope it's a harbinger of things to come," said Trueman, who served as chief of the Child Exploitation Section of Justice Department's Criminal Division under presidents Reagan and Bush.
MIM has forwarded more than 30,000 complaints about unwanted porn spam and other possible crimes to the Justice Department in recent months, Trueman reported. Internet users registered the complaints through MIM's ObscenityCrimes.org page.
"What it has done is involve lots of people in America - not just pro-family organizations and their associates - but people from all across America who are offended by pornography in their e-mail or on websites that they come by accidentally, or their children come by accidentally, and they have a central location to file those now.
"The Justice Department is pleased to get these complaints, I understand, and they've made a difference," Trueman said.

The days of the traditional desktop PC are surely numbered. All-in-one's have gone from being overpriced novelties to the de facto form factor for a new machine. Whether it's the incredible aluminium iMac or the silly-cheap Asus Eee Top, there are few reasons to choose a tower any more.
Samsung is the latest manufacturer to have got in on the trend, and like the Acer Z5610 and the Sony Vaio L, its brand new U250 isn't just a space-saving combo of computer and monitor – it's also equipped with a two-point multitouch screen.
Beautiful screen
Of course, there aren't any really compelling multitouch apps for Windows 7 yet. While Samsung's TouchPlay 3D desktop overlay is better than the standard Microsoft interface for fingers, it is slower than straightforward Windows and more a gimmick than essential.
Those killer apps will come, though, and when they do they'll look good on the 23in Samsung screen. The 1920x1080 screen is richly coloured and has good enough contrast. It's not quite up to the standards of Apple's iMac, but does seem on a par with the more expensive Sony Vaio L.
The screen's sharp looks, however, are literally overshadowed by the thick black plastic surround. It's not that it isn't well built – although we did scratch the DVD drive just removing the acres of protective film – but the wide bezel makes the panel look much smaller than it actually is. It's a design faux par that detracts from the U250's best feature.
Price versus performance
There's a school of thought that says all-in-ones, which like the U250 are often based on laptop parts, are still expensive compared to desktop separates.
The U250 won't do an awful lot to dissuade that thinking, as its Core 2 processor is starting to look a bit long in the tooth. Coupled with the GeForce 310M graphics it's enough to get Far Cry 2 or World of Warcraft running at medium quality settings, but it's not going to win any awards for performance.
It comes down to how much of a premium you think multitouch is worth – against its peers the U250 is a reasonable price, landing midway between the lower specced Acer Z5610 and the bigger, faster Sony Vaio L. It's a testament to the high quality of most all in ones at the moment that we'd be hard pushed to choose between any of those three.

May 26, 2013 - The Associated PressThe tractor-trailer combination was carrying 39,000 pounds of liquid asphalt sealer at a temperature of 340 degrees.
MEDICINE BOW -- A tractor-trailer pulling two tankers loaded with asphalt sealer overturned and spilled a hot, sticky mess near Medicine Bow.
The Wyoming Highway Patrol says the crash happened just before 1 p.m. Friday about seven miles west of Medicine Bow.
No other vehicles were involved and nobody was hurt.
The patrol says the tanker combination was carrying 39,000 pounds of liquid asphalt sealer at a temperature of 340 degrees.
The driver swerved and lost control, causing the tanker truck to roll over. The rear tanker ruptured and spilled the asphalt sealer onto the roadside.
Authorities closed the eastbound lanes of U.S. 30 and waited for the gooey substance to cool so it could be cleaned up.

I work in a certified shop, and I am an ase certified tech. I am asking if the parts are interchangable.
As for lowering the car I am looking into coilovers with adjustable upper mounts, I can get bushings to correct the caster and I do like to run my car on a track since I live less than an hour from nelson ledges in Ohio.
I was just looking for a little insight on what my issue could be. I appreciate the help but I guess I just got a little too detailed and made more of a mess of this by giving all my details.
So with tax time coming I'm just going to buy the coil covers and bushings and hope for the best

Network Ten has suffered one of its worst ratings weeks this year after reality show The Bachelor Australia and current affairs program Revealed struggled to lure viewers.
But the network maintains it is growing viewers in the key demographic of 25 to 54 years.
Ten's primary channel share of audience was 10.6 per cent, its lowest since April this year and its joint third-lowest performance for 2013 in a difficult week for the network where rivals Seven and Nine broadcast football finals.
The ratings underline the scale of the challenge facing
Ten was quick to defend its ratings, pointing out its share of the key 25 to 54-year-old demographic – which attracts the lion's share of advertising dollars – has risen over the past six weeks, compared with the same weeks in 2012.
All three commercial networks' performances are in intense focus as they prepare to showcase line-ups for 2014 to media buyers, ahead of critical rate and market share negotiations in which agencies will make pre-commitments to broadcasters for up to 12 months on behalf of advertisers.
Trends still promising
The Bachelor received considerable attention on social media but managed only 669,000 viewers on its September 8 debut up against strong competition from Seven's The X Factor, while Ten's 9.30pm current affairs show Revealed attracted only 252,000 viewers on its maiden outing last Thursday.
"The market has seen The Bachelor as a disappointment," said Peter Horgan, chief executive of the agency OMD. "What we've liked about Hamish is that there is no single-bet strategy – The Bachelor was probably the one diversion there. There's been enough new product and their trend line for the last six weeks has been, if not stellar, then promising . . . There is some empathy for Ten in the market but we need a reason to believe."
A spokesman for Ten said the first two episodes of The Bachelor had performed "in line with expectations" and had been "a hit with women".
"More than a third of the women aged 25 to 39 who watched commercial TV on Sunday and Monday nights were watching The Bachelor," he said. "Media buyers look at trends, not ratings results from individual nights or weeks. Ten has seen growth in its 25 to 54 audience for the past seven consecutive weeks."
He said the drama Wonderland had been No. 1 in its timeslot since it launched four weeks ago among those aged 25 to 54, which is the network's target audience for growth.
One equity analyst said: "We believe Ten can turn it around but they have demonstrated nothing to date.
"Maybe 700,000 for The Bachelor is actually a good performance for Ten. Maybe 700,000 is the new 1 million."

New Red Band Pathology Trailer
by Alex Billington
March 15, 2008
Source: The Movie Blog
If you saw the last few trailers for Pathology and weren't too excited, then I encourage you to give this new one another chance. It gives a somewhat better look at what we can expect in this rather sexual, intense, and crazy medical thriller (those are all hints). I'm actually pretty damn excited for this, despite the recent teaser, and I'm hoping it turns out to be very good. I'm heading to LA next Thursday to see it and will certainly let you know what I think, but trust me when I say, please give this one a chance. You've been warned - this is a red band trailer, so proceed with caution!
So the game they play is that they challenge each other to try and kill someone in a way that they can't figure out how. Being pathologists and doctors who perform autopsies, they should know of good ways to get around it. Sounds like fun? Thanks to The Movie Blog for pointing us towards this new trailer.
Watch the new red band trailer for Pathology:
Some say that Pathology is a window to God. As doctors, they see the perversion and corruption of the flesh by all means unnatural…by violence…by toxin…by madness…to determine the cause of death. As a result they are the experts in all signs of foul play and the best in the field can uncover all means of killing, even those that are seemingly undetectable.
Pathology is directed by German filmmaker Marc Schoelermann and written by Crank writers/directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor. The film arrives in theaters on April 18th. Make sure to check it out!

Walshaw made it two wins in two matches at the weekend, notching up the highest score of the day against Standish on Saturday and recording a six-wicket win against Swinton Moorside on Sunday.
The Bury side raced to 286-9 against Standish thanks to 97 from Darren Foy and 44 from Raki Weerasundara.
Foy was frustrated to get out three short of his century when he fell to Sam Heeley (4-80).
In reply, Joe Fielding top-scored for Standish with 53 but Gavin Nicholl (3-37) and Danny Hornby (2-17) ensured the visitors were bowled out for 184.
Just 24 hours later, fifth-placed Walshaw dismissed Swinton.
The Manchester-side batted first posting 141 with Dave Flatley hitting 23 but Gavin Nicholl 3-35 led the way for the bowlers supported by Steve Holt 3-40.
Danny Hornby notched up 55 while Rakitha Weerasundara added 30 to help Walshaw to 144.
Bury put pressure on league leaders Flixton with a nine-wicket triumph over Blackrod on Saturday.
Thusendra de Zoysa (58) top scored for Blackrod but they were were all out for 129, with Sam Nolan-Massey taking 3-5 and Nekoli Parris also taking three wickets.
In reply, skipper Simon Belston top-scored with an unbeaten 60 and Parris added 55 as Bury romped to victory.
Rowan Bricker sampled agony and delight in Winton's 15-run win against Bury on Sunday.
He was run out on 99 and along with Mike Seenan's 45 and Lewis Johnson's 22 saw Winton set a target of 205.
Simon Belson and Nekoli Parris shared two wickets apiece.
In reply, Belston led by example with 60 while Alex Brechin (29) Parris (25) and Matt Twentyman (24) were the batting highlights for Bury.
David Marchment took 3-58 and Simon Brittain 3-40.
Daisy Hill moved above Bury into second place after their stroll in the park against Elton on Saturday, winning by nine wickets.
Elton were bowled out for 187 after looking set for a convincing total at 161-5 with Steve Ward (48), Alistair Lowes (39) and John Ashworth (39) making decent contributions.
Paul Hart was pick of the bowlers with 5-32.
Daisy Hill were going strong before Craig Atherton was out 26 but Mark Wood (62) and Mark Atherton (84) helped them over the finish line.
Elton got back to winning ways in their match on Sunday, beating Darcy Lever by 51 runs thanks to an incredible bowling performance by Alistair Lowes.
He took 9-23 to bowl out Darcy for 74 after earlier top-scoring with 31 in Elton's total of 155.
Chris Murray also hit 23 with Chris Read and Adam Stansfield adding 20 apiece.

This program allows Renée Fleming to explore Handel beyond the relatively limited opportunities afforded her by the Met, and there's much to enjoy in it, even if the results aren't quite as consistently fine as one had hoped.
The Italian arias, which constitute the greater part of the program, elicit Fleming's best performances, especially the faster numbers where the drive and energy spur her to a bracing, galvanic vigor. If she doesn't quite have the every-note-in-place ease of a Sutherland in the fioriture—the dog-chasing-its-tail figuration in the "B" section of Ah! crudel flusters her slightly—she throws herself into them with spirit, sporting effective embellishments on the da capo repeats, and the sound and sense of all those notes comes through.
Fleming's response to the slower arias—Lascia ch'io pianga, say, and Ombra mai fu—is more purely musical than "dramatic." She sings them with a handsome legato, but seems rarely to connect directly with the text—the repeated, heartfelt "pietà" in Ah! crudel being a conspicuous exception—contenting herself with setting a generally suitable tone, which occasionally misses the intended mark. In the context of a complete Giulio Cesare, for example, it's not immediately clear that V'adoro, pupille would best be served by a posture of unwavering dignity. Still, letting the music and the voice do the work is hardly a bad strategy in Handel, and the vocal results are pleasing.
The English arias are generally less impressive, perhaps even a bit careless. Swallowed final consonants and, sometimes, occluded vowels blur Fleming's enunciation of some phrases, but in others she shallows out some of the open vowels—the recurring "why" and "joys" of Oh sleep, why dost thou leave me?, for example. When Fleming makes a point of articulating, the results can be mannered, as with her recurring breathy rendering of "endless" in Semele's Endless pleasure—so fast it practically scampers—which not only breaks the line but violates the style. She brings a nice lift to Let the bright Seraphim, but self-consciously overdoes the holding back on "their loud uplifted [angel trumpets blow]." (I've never understood that particular "tradition," anyhow—just get on with it in tempo, for heaven's sake!)
In fairness, Samson's To fleeting pleasures make your court is a pleasure, but too short. And, while Fleming sustains a lovely line and mood in the Alexander Balus piece, it peters out rather than really finishing, ending the program inconclusively.
Harry Bicket infuses the more vigorous arias with plenty of thrust, and keeps things flowing in the lyrical ones. The full-toned orchestral accompaniments, sufficiently weighty and grounded, recall the halcyon days of London-based chamber-orchestra Handel. Oddly, however, the 'cellist's phrasing in Oh sleep, why dost thou leave me? is wooden—I had the same complaint about the player on Ruth Ann Swenson's Handel/Mozart disc (EMI CDC 7243 5 56672 2 9).
Lovely sound reproduction, although the opening "Pensieri" of the first Agrippina aria betrays the voice's unnecessarily close miking.
