Shakespeare's Language
Shakespeare's language can create a strong pang of intimidation, even fear, in a large number of modern-day readers. Fortunately, however, this need not be the case. All that is needed to master the art of reading Shakespeare is to practice the techniques of unraveling uncommonly-structured sentences and to become familiar with the poetic use of uncommon words. We must realize that during the 400-year span between Shakespeare's time and our own, both the way we live and speak has changed. Although most of his vocabulary is in use today, some of it is obsolete, and what may be most confusing is that some of his words are used today, but with slightly different or totally different meanings. On the stage, actors readily dissolve these language stumbling blocks. They study Shakespeare's dialogue and express it dramatically in word and in action so that its meaning is graphically enacted. If the reader studies Shakespeare's lines as an actor does, looking up and...

*Vienna. Great Austrian city ruled by Duke Vincentio. As the duke himself realizes, Vienna is a moral morass, and bawdry and licentiousness of all sorts are rampant. The duke accepts responsibility for having been lax in enforcing the law. Corruption seethes throughout society from the nobility down to the base characters who are engaged less in a comic subplot than in a series of vulgar exemplifications of the pervasive moral decay. Concerned by the city's deterioration, the duke devises a scheme to revive civic authority: Pretending to go to Poland, he puts the administration of the city in the charge of his trusted, and presumably virtuous, deputy, Angelo, and remains in Vienna disguised as a friar. While staying in a friary, he spies on Angelo. The friary, which should ordinarily be a place of quiet contemplation and prayer, thus becomes a den of intrigue.
Shakespeare's Vienna is no joyous café society or waltz-and-chandelier ballroom for the aristocracy. Rife with pimps, prostitutes, lechers, violated virgins, and murderers, it is not ready to be overrun by the wave of puritanism set in motion by Angelo. Scenes set on a street provide a microcosm of Viennese society, especially its smart men-about-town, such as Lucio; low-life figures such as Pompey the bawdy clown, and the syphilitic Mistress Overdone. Even Angelo proves to be corrupt, and in the privacy of his own abode, he reveals his hypocritical dissembling and...

Modern Connections
Measure for Measure is considered one of Shakespeare's "problem plays." Problem plays introduce moral dilemmas without offering clear-cut or comforting solutions to these dilemmas. Since these plays deal with universal topics such as sex, power, and life and death, they are still appreciated and debated over by audiences today.
While the mores and living conditions of Shakespeare's time were significantly different from what they are today, several interesting parallels can still be drawn between our world and the one dramatized in Measure for Measure.
If, for example, the play were set in modern Vienna rather than the Renaissance Vienna of nearly 400 years ago, Claudio would not be facing execution for engaging in premarital sex. On the other hand, casual, unprotected sex today carries with it a potential death sentence in the form of AIDS. As he is being led to jail, Claudio tells his friend Lucio that the relationship between himself and Juliet is not casual, but that they were joined by a "true contract" which was sanctioned by common law if not by the church (I.ii.145). Today, unmarried couples often face other obstacles. Depending, for instance, on the state or country in which they live and work, they may find that they are not covered by each other's medical insurance, or that they are treated differently from legally married couples by the tax system or by the laws....

Bibliography and Further Reading
Bache, William B. "The Ethic of Love and Duty." In "Measure for Measure" as Dialectical Art, pp. 1-12. Lafayette, IN: Purdue University Studies, 1969. Argues that Measure for Measure is a realistic play about the "brutality" of life. Bache focuses on the religious overtones in the play and the manner in which its central characters struggle to find the right way to live in the face of life's difficulties.
Barnes, Barbara J. "Assaying the Power of Chastity in Measure for Measure." Studies in English Literature 30, No. 2 (Spring 1990): 283-301. Asserts that the character Isabella is not as powerless as numerous critics believe she is. Baines observes that chastity is a unique instrument of power in a society that has become as corrupt as the Duke's Vienna has, so that the chaste novice Isabella is someone whom the other characters cannot afford to ignore.
Brown, Carolyn E. "Measure for Measure: Isabella's Beating Fantasies." American Imago 43, No. 1 (Spring 1986): 67-80. Suggests that Isabella provokes sharply conflicting reactions from scholars—some of whom regard her as a positive character while others see her as unpleasantly negative. Brown approaches Isabella's character from a psychological point of view as an ambivalent, "complex character" who subconsciously entertains masochistic and incestuous sexual fantasies even while she "aspires to a saintly life."

Greetings and salutations,
It's been a while since I've last been on RoleplayerGuild. Actually, three years. I never played any of the games and it was unfortunate circumstances concerning how I discovered the forums. Now that life has settled down for me I am ready to begin writing once more. There are a few things that I have running on another popular website called RolePlayGateway but I've been meaning to expand.
This place appears much more simple and that is not a bad thing in my eyes.
So, RoleplayerGuild, throw me your best, your worst, and all in between.

April 12th, 2010: The MoCCA comics festival was a lot of fun! The building was not super overheated this year and I met both my cartoonist friends AND a bunch of awesome people who came up and told me they like Dinosaur Comics, which is awesome, because I'M the guy who makes them! I drew a T-Rex on an iPad (just - just not very well) and Emily showed me this awesome cross-stitch she'd made. And when I posted the cross-stitch on my Twitter, Andrew sent me on he'd made too!
I was sitting near Andrew Hussie of MS Paint Adventures and at one point he passed me a note which I was really excited to read but then I opened it and found this (or - or this). Luckily Andrew Hussie of MS Paint Adventures was not armed with a camera so the notes I passed him in exchange will forever remain a mystery to all except him, as they are no doubt seared upon the very grey matter of his brain.
Anyway the point of this post is that MoCCA was a lot of fun and that cartoonists pass notes when they're supposed to be "working" because we are all stuck at the "grade 2 girl in the back of the classroom" stage of development To make sure the best gifts ever in time get to you when you want them, here are the HOLIDAY SHIPPING DEADLINES.

Beyond the Singlet: Joel Parkinson's Impact on South Africa
JEFFREYS BAY, South Africa (Wednesday, July 20, 2011) – The ASP World Tour offers surfers the chance to impact people's lives in far-flung locations around the world. From the aesthetics of their surfing styles to a casual autograph for a star-struck grom, surfing's elite can and do touch the lives of the people they come into contact with around the globe.
Current ASP World No. 2 and former two-times winner of the Billabong Pro Jeffreys Bay, Joel Parkinson (AUS), 30, is one such surfer who has made an enormous impact here in Jeffreys Bay.
While the absence of the defending champ's sweeping turns and broad charismatic smile at the 2010 event was felt by surfing fans the world over, the impact was that much greater for members of 39 Mandela Street, Oceanview informal settlement, ironically nowhere near the famed Supertubes break.
In a modest home 10km outside of Jeffreys Bay, a beautiful Xhosa lady Thelma, whose family Joel has supported financially for the past several years, wept. She was devastated Parko or 'Parker' as she calls him, had been injured and would not be competing at the 2010 Billabong Pro.
The two met in 1999, Joel as an 18-year-old wildcard on the brink surfing super stardom and Thelma as a domestic worker employed to clean the house in which Joel was staying.
Unaccustomed to having a domestic worker clean up after them, the Australian crew told her they did not need a cleaner and she need not come back she until the last day when they promised to pay her as if she'd worked the full ten days.
Despite their insistence, Thelma, whose infectious laugh and toothy grin made her a joy to be around, arrived for work on time each morning, cleaning and washing up after the boys and taking care of them as if they were her own.
Every year that they returned, Thelma would be waiting to welcome them at 'home' and soon she was as much a part of Jeffreys Bay as the aloes and the waves themselves.
But when the boys returned in 2003, that familiar smile and shiny African glow had vanished. Thelma had been badly assaulted and had fallen terminally ill. Fearing she would no longer be able to work and support her family, she confided in cameraman John Gordon 'Gordo'.
When Gordo alerted the crew to Thelma's plight, Parkinson along with Dean Morrison 'Dingo' and Billabong's Derek Hynd, were quick to step up and offer their financial support.
Parkinson continues to support the family financially to this day, indirectly putting food on the table, providing medicine and all the necessities the household needs which might otherwise have been impossible to afford.
"She went through hell and it was the least I could do for someone," Parkinson says. "I have so many friends that I help out but you don't get a thank you or a big smile or a hug or a kiss from them. With her, you feel like you give her a little bit and its like she's been given the world! Her face lights up more than anything you could ever imagine and it makes it all worthwhile."
On a sunny Saturday afternoon during a lay day at the Billabong Pro, Parkinson along with his two daughters Evie and Macy travel the ten km out of town to Oceanview, their shiny Audi rental a stark contrast to the tiny square houses, stray dogs and quirky spaza (informal) shops that make up a typical South African township.
It's not long before a beautiful African lady in a bright red cape comes trotting down the road, waving and laughing in excitement as she lays eyes on Parkinson and the children for the first time in two years.
They embrace in true African style, sharing a large bucket of KFC on the lawn outside No. 39 where they are joined by neighbors, kids and relatives, the pair chatting and laughing like long lost friends.
Retiring inside, Thelma shows off her new TV and couch compliments of the Parkinson family and soon Joel and his kids are kicking back, feet up as Thelma revels at having the World No. 2 in her home.
"It was good to see," Parkinson said. "You throw money into a bank account, and you hope it's going to the right place but you definitely have that trust for her that she always would do the right thing with it. Just to sit on her couch that we bought and watch her TV and see how honored she was to have those belongings was great. I think she was so stoked to see the kids put their feet up on it and pretend it was theirs."
Leaving with two wide-eyed kids and a promise from Thelma that she'd had a dream Joel would win this year's contest, the Parkinson family settle back into their double-storey home overlooking The Point back in Jeffreys Bay, with a newfound appreciation for all that is theirs.
"I was stoked to take my kids there because we came home and one of them tried to misbehave and I just said look at how lucky you are, look at what those kids had there today," Parkinson said. "I think she stopped and thought about it and went 'well I understand how lucky I am and what a life we have.' She gets to travel the world , is served a beautiful meal every night and has everything at her disposal, so it definitely opened up my kids world."

A Mountain, A Town, The World
Topography shapes history in the Blue Hill area.
- By: Susan Hand Shetterly
From the east cliffs of Blue Hill Mountain, I look down on the town, its trim inner harbor, the narrows, the outer harbor, and the low, dark line of Long Island beyond.
I took the Osgood Trail and climbed past stands of old red spruce and white pines and a venerable yellow birch. It is late summer. The birds are mostly still, but black-throated green warblers fluttered in the leaves of the birch feeding their well-fledged young.
In the 1920s, the United States abandoned the British definition of a mountain, which was anything over a thousand feet. Americans felt it was arbitrary, that, in fact, one can distinguish a mountain from a hill without someone else's help. When I drive into the village, there comes a point at which the east side of the mountain looks like the gently rounded back of a black bear — a shuffling bear on all fours. There is something shaggy and warm-blooded about it. To me, then, it is a hill. But when I see it from the southwest, its ledge of open rock, its sharp thrust, it is a mountain that rises 935 feet above sea level.
The mountain stands alone above the water, a marker to the captains of the old sailing ships. It is a bedrock of foliated schist, indomitable ancient stone, layered like the pages of a rain-worn book. Volunteers who built the trails have used chunks of this stone, as well as the granite cobbles carried and dropped by the glacier's foot, to make the steps. We walk on their handiwork, and on the much older work of fire and ice.
Down in the white clapboard town the buildings nestle between the water and the mountain like resting summer gulls. The spires of the Congregational and the Baptist churches point above the green hardwood trees. Through the clear, hard-edged brightness of this late summer afternoon, I gaze down on a town that is beautiful and precise, as if I were seeing it in the past, and I remember reading Mary Ellen Chase's stories of growing up here in the 1890s. From this distance, those years seem less than a stone's throw away.
I imagine The Gold Hunter, the two-masted trading schooner, waiting out beyond the narrows for the shift of tide as neighbors crowd together at the wharf. It is November, cold, and soon this bright blue bay will be frozen straight across to Long Island, but for now, the schooner has come with its precious cargo of winter staples and supplies. When the tide shifts, it approaches the town.
Up from the hold comes a surprise ordered by Mary's father: A full stem of bananas, packed in grasses in a wooden crate. Her father hangs the heavy stem in their cellar for the fruits to ripen, and the family leaves the bulkhead doors ajar during the day so that the neighbors can see it for themselves. Here is the best part: The bananas ripen; Mary's father steps on a box, takes out a knife, cuts off yellow bananas, and tells her to pass them around to everyone outside. Treat your friends, he says. And she does.
The vision of the schooner vanishes as I turn to face the communications tower reaching 140 feet into the sky, braced by guy wires — a modern jolt — jarring and ugly. Yet it, like the mountain itself, is intimately connected to the town. It serves WERU, the local radio station, and the hospital, the fire department, and the ambulance.
I hike to the summit, facing inland to Third Pond, and west across the landscape to Penobscot Bay and to Camden, where Edna St. Vincent Millay lived as a child. Up here, with views east to Mount Desert and Acadia, south to Isle au Haut, and west to Mount Battie, one could be forgiven for breaking into a recitation of Millay's poem: "O, World, I cannot hold thee close enough/ Thy winds, thy wide grey skies!"
When it looked as if a piece of the mountain might become real estate with these million dollar views, the Blue Hill Heritage Trust bought the land. Through purchase and gifts, it now owns 127 acres on the south slope and 160 acres on the eastern and western shoulders. The town owns another 175 acres.
The work to keep the mountain for the people has bonded the people of the town more firmly to the mountain. In groups, or in solitary meditation, they climb up, sit, look out, climb back down. Sometimes it is the best place to go to get a long view on life below. Hiking down in late afternoon, I pass two paragliders carrying their backpacks up, and, as I follow the Hayes Field Trail, I pass one woman on her way alone.
Blue Hill's first minister, the Reverend Jonathan Fisher, a Calvinist Congregationalist, was a strict, multi-talented, ceaselessly energetic man who whipped his congregation into shape. His sheer genius is still honored here, two hundred and four years after he assumed his post. Today we have a gentler presence from the same church who walks the mountain all times of the year and writes in the local paper about his discoveries. You can find the Reverend Rob McCall on a trail, sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the evening, a staff in hand. He has a mountain walk — a bounce to his gait as if he were prepared to step high and lightly over even the largest stones. He calls the mountain by its Indian name, "Awanadjo," and he teaches us to love small town life and the life that's left in the wild around us. I imagine his influence will last for many years. Here's what he writes: "We are a town named after a mountain. Love this mountain and be vigilant in defense of her. How we treat the mountain is how we treat the world."
Susan Hand Shetterly is a nature writer and author of Settled in the Wild, a book of essays about life near her Surry home.

Martyrs. The world's streets Are ittered With dead and dying martyrs, Those who had a cause Or were told They did. But slaughter Is slaughter; there are no martyrs, Only mad dogs Spitting out The life blood Of the world, Devastating What should have been Eden Through all of man's time. Leslie P. Garcia copyright 2002
Quotation marks are used on purpose to emphasize my thoughts on "martyrs." The tragic events of last year, and the recent murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, made me look again at some of the poem I wrote in the 80s, when terror was already taking an enormous toll around the world.

The Peace Corps' relationship with the Gambia dates back to 1967, when the Peace Corps signed a memorandum of understanding with the Ministry of External Affairs. Volunteers began working in The Gambia later that year, initially serving as mechanics and teachers. Since then, many Gambian institutions and communities have benefitted from the services of over 1,200 Volunteers. The Peace Corps' development priorities in the areas of education, the environment, and health match those of the government. Information technology, HIV/AIDS, and youth are all important areas of focus.

Peace Corps History
Main article: History of the Peace Corps in The Gambia
The first Peace Corps Volunteers arrived in The Gambia at the invitation of the Gambian government in September 1967. They worked in skilled trades as mechanics, engineers, and carpenters, and they organized village cooperatives.
Two years later, another group of Volunteers arrived to work in education. Since that time, education has been a principal focus of Peace Corps activities in The Gambia. Education Volunteers have organized resource centers for primary schools; planned and launched libraries; developed teaching curricula and materials for classes in math, science, English, and environmental and forestry conservation; provided training for teachers in these subjects; and set up computer laboratories and taught information technology (IT) skills. Environment Volunteers have helped improve vegetable and fruit tree production in school gardens and orchards; helped control freshwater runoff and saltwater intrusion; constructed handmade dams that have doubled rice production; and assisted in managing seven Department of Forestry divisional nurseries. Health Volunteers work to prevent common diseases including malaria, respiratory infections, diarrhea, and HIV/AIDS.

Main article: Living Conditions and Volunteer Lifestyles in The Gambia
Once you become a Volunteer, you will be provided with safe and adequate housing by the Gambian agency or organization you work with in accordance with the Peace Corps' site selection criteria (see the Health Care and Safety chapter for further information). The Peace Corps will provide you with items such as an all-terrain bicycle, a helmet, a mosquito net, medical kit and a water filter for use during your service.
Most Volunteers live in family compounds with one or two private rooms at their disposal. You will need to be very flexible in your housing expectations, as you probably will not have running water or electricity and may have to collect water from a well or borehole and spend your evenings reading by candlelight or lantern. Most Volunteers will have latrines.
Peace Corps staff will visit your site periodically to provide personal, medical, and technical support.
Main article: Training in The Gambia
Pre-service training will probably be the most intense period of your Peace Corps service, as you will need to gain the knowledge and experience necessary to successfully serve as a Volunteer in just 10 weeks. While the training period will be extremely busy, it should also be a time of excitement, discovery, and self-fulfillment. The effort and challenges of adapting to a new culture will draw on your reserves of patience and humor but will be handsomely rewarded with a sense of belonging among new friends. The long hours of study and the accomplishment of difficult tasks will pay off in your ability to work effectively in a challenging job that will directly benefit a great number of people.
The training approach is best described as discovery-oriented and self-directed. Based on adult learning methods, it emphasizes individual responsibility for developing the competencies to function independently as a Volunteer.
Health Care and Safety
Main article: Health Care and Safety in The Gambia
The Peace Corps' highest priority is maintaining the good health and safety of every Volunteer. Peace Corps medical programs emphasize the preventive, rather than the curative, approach to disease. Peace Corps/The Gambia maintains a clinic with a full-time medical officer who takes care of Volunteers' primary health-care needs. Additional medical services, such as testing and basic treatment, are also available in The Gambia at local hospitals. If you become seriously ill, you will be transported either to an American-standard medical facility in the region or to the United States.
When it comes to your safety and security in the Peace Corps, you have to be willing to adapt your behavior and lifestyle to minimize the potential for being a target of crime. While The Gambia is considered one of the safest countries in West Africa, Volunteers have experienced petty theft, pickpocketing, and home break-ins. You can reduce your risk by avoiding situations that make you feel uncomfortable and by taking precautions. Crime at the village or town level is less frequent than in the large cities; people know each other and generally will not steal from their neighbors. Tourist attractions, especially in large towns, are favorite work sites for pickpockets. The following are safety concerns in The Gambia of which you should be aware.
Diversity and Cross-Cultural Issues
Main article: Diversity and Cross-Cultural Issues in The Gambia
The Peace Corps staff in The Gambia recognizes adjustment issues that come with diversity and will endeavor to provide support and guidance. During pre-service training, several sessions will be held to discuss diversity and coping mechanisms. We look forward to having male and female Volunteers from a variety of races, ethnic groups, ages, religions, and sexual orientations, and hope that you will become part of a diverse group of Americans who take pride in supporting one another and demonstrating the richness of American culture.
Possible Issues may arise for
- Female Volunteers
- Volunteers of Color
- Senior Volunteers
- Gay, Lesbian, or Bisexual Volunteers
- Possible Religious Issues for Volunteers

Packing List

This list has been compiled by Volunteers serving in The Gambia and is based on their experience. Use it as an informal guide in making your own list, bearing in mind that experience is individual. There is no perfect list! You obviously cannot bring everything we mention, so consider those items that make the most sense to you personally and professionally. You can always have things sent to you later. As you decide what to bring, keep in mind that you have an 80-pound weight limit on baggage.

I recently had a chance to experience sessions of group therapy and found it to be amazingly beneficial for myself and those that attended with me.

" Group therapy without the quack therapist" as I've coined it!! I want this group to be about a community of people that wish to share their lives... With that said I ask that you attend with an ope …

Renewable energy research at the University of Newcastle has received a major financial boost in the Australian Research Council's (ARC) latest round of funding, announced today.
Projects examining the use of hydrogen, wind and solar cells are among 26 across the University to share in more than $8.5 million.
Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research), Professor Mike Calford, said the funding recognised Newcastle's position as a leader in energy research.
"Over recent years the Hunter region has invested significant resources into energy research, particularly renewable energy," he said.
"Today's funding announcement positions the University and the region to move to the next level in this emerging field of national importance."
The University received funding for projects across all faculties to:
- develop a world-class centre for computer-assisted research in mathematics and its application
- research ways to improve the speed and quality of wireless networks such as broadband internet and digital television
- investigate and improve physical activity and healthy eating among adolescent girls from low socioeconomic backgrounds in order to prevent the development of lifestyle diseases
- conduct further research into the molecular biology of the platypus and echidna, our most distant relatives among living mammals, which can be used to understand the molecular sequences in human genes essential for fertility
- investigate patterns of pedestrian movement using robotics and machine learning to promote better urban design
- analyse the emerging Sydney Strategic Plan, with an emphasis on urban structure, travel behaviour and energy consumption.
"The University has a strong track record in engineering, science and health-related research, and it is pleasing that our work in the arts, humanities, and social sciences is also being recognised today."

Tasting Shackleton's Whisky
During the 1908 Nimod expedition, the ill-equipped British adventurer Earnest Shackleton attempted to be the first to reach the South Pole. Having failed to do so less than 100 miles short of his destination, he abandoned the continent–and the entire contents of his supply huts. In 2007, mycology experts recommended cleaning out the ice under one of the huts on Ross Island to help stave off an invasion of hungry Antarctic fungi. In the process, conservators discovered three crates of Mackinlay's Rare Old Highland Malt Whisky, apparently left by Shackleton or a member of his crew.
Initially, the conservators were unable to dislodge the crates, but in 2010, the whisky came free. After it thawed out in New Zealand, the current owners of the Mackinlay label, the Scottish distillery Whyte and Mackay, set about tasting the sample and replicating the centenarian spirit. They sampled the alcohol with a syringe and analyzed the recovered stock using both gas chromatography and a 15-member expert tasting panel (a.k.a. "sensory analysis"). Because the alcohol had been preserved in permafrost, it was, in large part, no worse for the wear. Then Richard Peterson, the distillery's master blender, blended 25 different malt whiskys made since the 1980s to clone the distinctive taste of the original, which had "peaty, mature woody, sweet, dried fruit and spicy aromas."
At face value, the replication of a historic whisky might reflect little more than our fascination with artificial artifacts—the instant nostalgia you can find in CDs engineered to sound like vinyl, camera-phone photographs designed to look like Polaroids, or diets designed to replicate the eating habits of Paleolithic hominins. If a modern distiller remade the flavors of a 19th century single malt without going through the arduous process of growing heirloom varieties of barley, malting and distilling the grain, or, not to mention, hiding it under a hut in Antarctica for 100 years, then doesn't the contemporary culture of the copy somehow muddle the waters of authenticity?
Well, what's curious is that, at least according to a paper the distillers published in The Journal of the Institute of Brewing (PDF), the 100-year-old whisky yielded another surprise:
Malt whisky from this period was generally regarded as robust, peaty and too "heavy" in style for ordinary consumption. Our analysis however describes a surprisingly light, complex whisky, with a lower phenolic content than expected.
In other words, it tasted quite modern. The recreated blend will probably prove to be the expedition's sole contributions to eating and drinking today (barring any sudden appetite for Manchurian pony meat or "Forced March," the caffeinated cocaine pills that were sort of the Red Bull of the day). And, as for the three crates, per order of conservationists, they're back under the floorboards where there were discovered—perpetually, you might say, on ice.

I'd just like to drink a toast with it- To Ernest Shackleton, and the men of his crew, and especially those of the James Caird. You've all been my hero's since boyhood. I hope school children still read of these men today.
And while I'm at it, I'll drink a toast to Robert Scott and those brave men who perished with him.
And another to Roald Amunsdsen. Well done Mate.
And one for those poor Welsh mine ponies.
Oh, and one to the sled dogs.
And the ships, Discovery and Endurance.
And…..oh hell, just give me the bottle.

The link to the paper is incorrect. It should be
I find it sad, and rather annoying, that the only way you refer to Earnest Shackleton is as 'the ill-equipped British adventurer'. He was a great man, ahead of his time, and an inspirational leader whose courage and endurance were of Epic proportions. Just wait…one day Hollywood will make a movie of his exploits, except of course they will change the facts for US audiences and make him into 'the no-nonsense American frontiersman'. :)

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Power went out at the Superdome early in the third quarter of the Super Bowl, leading to a 35-minute delay with the Baltimore Ravens leading the San Francisco 49ers 28-6 on Sunday.
The majority of the lights failed shortly after Jacoby Jones returned the opening kickoff of the second half for a touchdown.
Play finally resumed with 13:22 left in the third quarter.
During the outage, the public address announcer said the Superdome was experiencing an interruption of electrical service and encouraged fans to stay in their seats.
Some fans did the wave to pass the time. Players milled around on the sidelines, some took a seat on the bench, other on the field. A few of the Ravens threw footballs around.
Officials gathered on the field and appeared to be talking to stadium personnel. Finally, the lights came back on throughout the stadium, which appeared to have been operating on auxiliary power.
There was no immediate explanation for the power failure, which apparently was limited to the Superdome. The lights were on along the main thoroughfare outside the stadium.

A group of New Albany residents is once again passing around a petition seeking a vote to allow the sale of wine and spirits in the city limits.
The group, simply named "New Albany Spirit," has begun asking city residents to sign its petition and will hold a drive between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., this Friday and Saturday at three locations in the city. Group members, including Chairman Mary Jennifer Russell, emphasize that the petition is not to legalize alcohol in the city limits, but simply for the right to hold an election on the issue.
In its continued efforts to address public concerns regarding brown or dirty water within the city limits, representatives of the City of New Albany have gone to community groups to discuss the issue.
The Union County Board of Supervisors signed a lease agreement Monday, allowing for the county's Family and Children Services to relocate in larger facilities.
A New Albany man has been indicted during the recent Union County grand jury session for the exploitation of a child.
New Albany High School administration suspended seven students earlier this week in connection with an alleged violation of school policies against allowing fans on the field following an athletic event.
The town of Myrtle and immediate surrounding areas faced the brunt of a line of severe storms that rolled through Union County and Northeast Mississippi Wednesday night.
For the first time since the town of Blue Springs' inception, a police officer was sworn into office in Blue Springs.
After approximately a two-year delay, the Agape Clinic in the Historic Northside Neighborhood plans be open by the end of the year.
New Albany could potentially be the next Mississippi municipality to address the issue of "sagging" pants through law.
The City of New Albany's Light Gas and Water has just completed an upgrade to its wastewater treatment plant - a project that came out of heavy flooding two years ago.

Version 2.6 of the ArduCopter code is now available in the AP Mission Planner and in the downloads area!
Updates to MavLink 1.0 means you will need to use "ArdupilotMegaPlanner10.exe" to connect. If you've updated your mission planner recently you should find this executable in the directory where the mission planner is installed.
The above video is done using a prototype 3dr ublox GPS which seems to have better accuracy than the standard mediatek.
Improvements over 2.5.5 include:
- MavLink 1.0 support (use with ArdupilotMegaPlanner10.exe) [Tridge, Craig]
- Stability improvements especially during level hover [Jason]
- throttle range improvement (higher min and max) [Jason]
- improved standard Loiter PIDs [Alan, Heino, Jason, Angel]
- dataflash erase speed up ('+' messages removed but it only takes 6 seconds now) [Tridge]
- Copter LEDs [Robert Lefebvre]
- RTL loiter stage target set to home to improve final landing position [Jason]
- flip & acro improvements [Jason]
- circle mode target improvement for ground station [Jason]
- Auto Approach [Adam Rivera / Marco]
Bug fixes include:
- UBLOX driver fixes (lock should now be more reliable) [Tridge]
- enable mavlink messages during dataflash erase which resolves issue in which new APMs fresh from the factory appeared unresponsive [Tridge]
- proper printing of lat/lon values in dataflash logs [Randy]
- removed duplicate GPS reads [Jason]
- resolve flooding of telemetry link with low-battery warnings [Tridge]
- RTL bug would land if rtl_approach_alt was more than 1 [Jason]
- WP Radius could not be set larger than 1.3m [Jason/Randy]
PIDs are optimised for the 3DR/Jdrones quad with 850 motors and 10" props. If you're using more powerful motors/props and are seeing bad flight behaviour in stabilize, start by turning down Rate Roll P in 25% steps.
This time we spent some time optimising the loiter PIDs. Tuning loiter can be tricky so please refer to the discussions which will appear below for more community feedback on what parameters work best.
All feedback welcome below. Enhancement requests and bug reports can be put into the arducopter issues list. When possible please include logs (tlog and/or dataflash) and tell us whether you're using APM1 or APM2 and what version of the software you're using (presumably 2.6 but tell us anyway!).
Happy flying!
Itt leans always forward not backward - rear motors thrust is bit higher than two side motors.
Therefore I must pull the lever (horizontal stabiliser) on my radio in STAB mode.
Yes the tricopter was set on level.
Could you take a few pictures of the tricopter and post them? It just an easy way to look for something weird or unexpected. Get close ups on the board too.
When flying in stabilize, which way do you need to move the stick to keep it level? It is just hard for me to know from the log what angle is it tilting or if it is you doing it with the controller. I am now to reading the logs but I'd like to help.
The image shows what I believe it is doing on its own. Let me know if that right.
Yes that's correct - nose dive bit lover that rear. This is doing on its own. I just must pull the stick controll (elevator) to correct it. Of course only in stab mode. In all auto modes it is controlled only by ACM.
Here are some pictures [from my mobile, not very sharp :-( ]
Battery is right now on charger so it's not attached to frame...
Palo, wait for the new release of ArduCopter, there's great news about RTL, AUTO, Loiter, etc.....
Cheers, Marco
Need help another time ( sorry ) ....
This morning, i put the apm2 on mission planner ( new version ) and i have some problems with my gyros..
Here a short video of my problem: http://youtu.be/dmIlWfYb3nM
Thanks for the help in advance,
Edit: quad in X config and the RX is on the back of the APM2 ^^
So the problem is when i turn the quad on the left or right the gyro is wrong
Gyros work correctly with you.
If you are flying left, the artificial horizon tilt to the right ...
It's all right ...
you'll see it in the engine test
ciao Klaus from Germany
Perecastor, that looks correct to me.
bear in mind that the artificial horizon shows the ground relative to the craft, rather than the other way around. when the craft rolls left, the ground appears to roll right.
No problem there. Just think about how the ground looks if you're sitting in the quad.
Lol it's ok......
I don't know why i was thinking that the gyro was wrong....
I didn't fly this week and i thought thats the artificial horizon tilte on the other side after the update of mission planner......
Another time, i'm sorry :/
I don't want to crash my quad so i'm a litte scary before pushing the throtle stick ^^
I think everyone here in the forum you understand very well :)
good luck and have fun with your first flight...
ciao Klaus from Germany
He guys,
First of all sorry if this post looks a bit rushed... but I just spent 15 minutes of writing post... and then the browser crashed.. :D aaaaah.
Any way.. I am following this tread with great interest, however still have some problems as many other people I guess and I couldn't find the answer yet. I hope to some new responses by differing my questions toward fellow member and maybe the developers :)
Currently I am flying a F450 Quad with 4x 850Kv Motors and 10" props. (AMP1) I use one Hyperion 5000mah battery. No landing gear or camera gear at the moment. In other words (except for the battery which is mounted below the frame) a pretty light and straight forward setup.
After the upgrade to 2.6, I experience a severe aggressive copter, that was more difficult to control. After arming with the throttle stick centered it takes with so much power that I have to drop throttle back to approx 25%. Lower then that and the engines will stop / stall. Now what I understood from previous post is that the Max / Min throttle input was altered (lower / higher values compared to 2.5.5)
Now my questions:
Every advise is welcome! I hoping to take my baby out for a little spin tomorrow.
I'm sure this is posted somewhere.. but I did search for about 20min and could not find it. Is there a full listing of the default PIDS for arducopter 2.6?
I've been tweaking and putzing too much with my PIDS and would like to return to the default values.
I wish this forum had a thread search feature.

To cut fret wire couldn't be easier, the right tool for the right job.
so nice to work with this in bending frets and Cut! TRy it, but be sure! use this only for his JOB!
NOT GOOD! I don't understand why Stewart-MacDonald does not make these fret cutters out of a better case harden steel. It would be a good tool if they did. But they don't! so they are crap! don't buy this tool. they should be made to cut more than just soft fret wire.
Great, great quality from StewMac!
Perfect for what I need nice Tool
these fret cutters are great
I very much liked to use this tool!Very sharp! But don't forget that it is created for frets, not for nails! Use the Fret Cutter carefully and it will serve long time.
Fine tool - would like if made of high-carbon black steel so it would cut thru stainless steel frets without damaging the jaws!
I don't normally do these reviews but I have to say these fret cutters are great. I do a ton of fret work and these cutters make the job so much more pleasant. Thanks Stewmac.
Works perfectly

The Texas 2000 Air Quality Study
The Texas 2000 Air Quality Study is the current campaign in a series of oxidant/aerosol studies which the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) , the U.S. Department of Energy, and a number of university scientists have cooperatively conducted under the umbrella of the Southern Oxidants Study (SOS) in affiliation with the North Atlantic Research Strategy for Tropospheric Ozone (NARSTO). Researchers from these organizations are joined by the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC) and local communities in undertaking the largest air quality study ever done in the State of Texas.
The Houston-Galveston urban area is the focus of the study because it has significant ozone pollution problems and possible difficulties meeting new national particulate matter standards, and because its unique chemical and meteorological features make it important from a scientific perspective.
The goal of the study is to provide a better understanding of the chemical, meteorological, and atmospheric transport processes that determine ozone and fine particle distributions, and to develop new scientific understanding that will assist policy-makers in devising optimal management strategies for ozone and particulate matter.
Scientists from NOAA/ETL are contributing to the Texas 2000 Air Quality Study by deploying ground-based and airborne lidars, a windprofiler, and a surface flux station. These instruments are being used to study the meteorological conditions responsible for the local and regional transport of pollutants and will provide critical information about the spatial distribution and time evolution of ozone and aerosol concentrations.
