Composer John Adams and director Peter Sellars collaborated with
notable success on two earlier major "history operas": Nixon
in China and The
Death of Klinghoffer. Both operas were set to librettos by Alice Goodman,
librettos which successfully fleshed out the major roles into rich characterizations,
creating sympathetic people with whom an audience could emotionally identify.
Doctor Atomic, the much anticipated new work commissioned by
San Francisco Opera, was also to have had a libretto by Goodman, but she withdrew, and
Sellars took over as writer, abandoning any attempt at original text and instead
assembling a pastiche of historical and literary quotations to dramatize the creation of
the first atomic bomb. Therein lies the rub.
Placed in wartime Los Alamos in 1945, where a huge team of scientists,
technicians and support personnel have worked under intense pressure from Washington to
develop the bomb, the dramatic arc of the opera, such as it is, is in the tension in the
days and moments leading up to the test detonation. The program was helmed by J. Robert
Oppenheimer (Gerald Finley in a powerfully delivered performance), who is determinedly
hawkish, while physicists Edward Teller (Richard Paul Fink) and Robert Wilson (Thomas
Glenn) have profound reservations about the social and moral implications of using the
bomb. The unknown possible effects of the detonation add to the tension--a chorus sings of
potential destruction "beyond the wildest nightmares of the imagination."
An intimate scene between Oppenheimer and his wife, Kitty (Kristine
Jepson), uses love poems of Baudelaire for Oppenheimer and extended, dense poetic text for
Kitty, the latter drawn from the poetry of Muriel Rukeyser and expressing a key
counter-theme to the impending destructive power: "Love must imagine the world."
But the quoted texts distance the characters rather than humanize them; Kitty sings most
of her aria standing stage-front, facing the audience, not addressing her husband behind
her in bed.
In a supporting role, General Leslie Groves (Eric Owens), Army
commander of the project is as determined as Oppenheimer to see the test through, even to
the point of classical hubris--when inclement weather threatens the delay of the test,
Groves says, "I'll make my own weather predictions." Sellars rather weakly tries
to inject some humanity into Groves with details of his dieting. Pasqualita (Beth
Clayton), the Oppenheimer's Native American maid, adds an element of spiritualism and
draws the connection between the Indian people who originally populated the desert lands
of New Mexico about to be desolated.
It all leads up to the inevitable detonation of the bomb, as the cast
and chorus prostrate themselves on the raked stage, literally to take shelter from the
blast, figuratively paying obeisance to the unknown effects--scientific, political and
moral--that they have cooperated in now unleashing. Indeed, a new era begins.
Adams' score, condcuted with conviction and masterful control by Donald
Runnicles, provides muscular musical power that propels the work, particularly in the
often-Wagnerian grandness of the orchestrations which evoke both the gravity of the themes
and the crescendo of tension leading to the detonation. The choruses, too, pack
substantial impact. The music for the soloists, however, written sympathetically for the
literary content and the patterns of speech, feels more like art song than like opera.
When opera is at its most effective, the major characters have been drawn to a depth with
which the audience can identify; the characters' life crises, expressed in the music, find
a profound emotional connection with the listener. Because the Doctor Atomic characters
are never fully realized, such does not happen in Doctor Atomic, which, while
effective in many ways, remains a cerebral experience, leaving the listener far less moved
than might be expected from the seminal subject matter. Even Oppenheimer's stunning first
act closer, set to a John Donne poem and sung with intense fervency by Finley, remains
more a literary than an emotional experience.
Sellars staging is exemplary. With his long term-team of Adrianne Lobel
(set designer) and James F. Ingalls (lighting), they have devised a movable forest of
vertical and diagonal scaffoldings, horizontal pipe elements. and a simple backdrop which
silhouettes the skyline of the Alamagordo test site. The backdrop rises and falls, with
brilliantly colored lighting emphasizing the action taking place on stage. Over a
substantial part of the proceedings the bomb itself hangs suspended center stage, much of
the time directly over the crib of the Oppenheimer baby. The design sense is impeccable,
with the shifting elements providing needed visual stimulation, elegant in composition, in
what is otherwise a rather static staging. The relatively minor dance elements,
choreographed by Lucinda Childs, also add movement, but only in a few moments match the
fervency of the drama.

Yes, you blob fans can start begging nVidia for that documentation, starting from now on ;-)
True, but developpers do. Developpers create the games and the Android updates. That's hurting customers indirectly. In the end that was the lethal blow to 3dfx as well as developpers opted for the open solution.
Exactly. IGP's together with CPU's powerfull enough to run console ports (which renders nVidia cards useless for the majority of the market.He is referring to the advantages of IGPs.
Make a x86 killer: turn the GPU into a fully parallel CPU powerhouse, put the patented 3rd party magic in the silicon and go full blow open documentation mode, before it's too late.What advice would you give to NVIDIA, who have no chance of creating an IGP in the x86 space?
And no, I don't expect people to write better drivers. Just kidding; heared of the company that makes faster than CUDA, CUDA-only drivers?

Do not need that feature. Do not care for it. I do believe in the early years of Windows, graphics had an issue with this. Really you are blaming nVidia just for this feature when other features works fine. ATI and now AMD has multiple issues with their closed source driver.
Who cares about Skyrim and Crysis --- whaterever Skyrim is. From what I see at the following page, mostly means not finished for OpenGL 3. They are most likely done with implementing OpenGL 2. nVidia already finished OpenGL 3 in I think 2007. That means nVidia had OpenGL 3 in Linux for 5 years. Sure nVidia implements OpenGL through their own libraries. The installation and management of these libraries depends on distribution. Not all distributions can switch from X11 OpenGL libraries and then to OpenGL libraries that nVidia provides. I use Calculate Linux which is based on Gentoo. Gentoo implements an easy way to switch these libraries while still having them be installed.
You could use AMD graphics closed source driver fglrx, but then you also run into drivers that are short on features compared to Windows drivers.
Open source community is not fast enough to keep up with the changes that need to be done. For gamers sake like you, NOW. For example the open source drivers for AMD Radeon are still incomplete after the celebration of the documentation. The features of Radeon cards from open source drivers should already be implemented, but they are not. The reason for this is why outsourcing for development projects affects finishing a product. nVidia has a lot of resources to test VDPAU and several other features in house that they can keep an eye on. nVidia has expertise to report what each of the testing machine has a problem with. The open source community gets variations of expertise, so reports of problems varies. The time differences for the open source community to deliver bug reports is 24 hours to as much as weeks. This is not a project that needs a fix NOW or should of been fixed yesterday.
No it is bad for a company to keep the product protected like graphic cards. If nVidia does open up their products, there will be no competition. AMD opens up their graphic products, but only a small amount. AMD does not tell the developers how anti-aliasing works for their graphic cards and many other features. Open source developers for Radeon can only see just the hardware. There are a lot things happening in software that AMD also likes to keep secret. Graphic cards are VLIW processor type, so both AMD and nVidia keeps a lot of compiler magic to make their video cards perform fast. What I mean "compiler magic" is not at the time compiling the driver, but compiling the data (OpenGL, DirectX, OpenCL, CUDA) in code that VLIW understands. I think eventually, the open source developers for Radeon graphics may have to create a project that deals with VLIW compiler separately to get the performance of the open source driver up to the performance that the close source drivers or fglrx.
nVidia is not a non-profitable company. nVidia is a business that is doing it for a profit, but they are doing it ethically. nVidia is still in business, so this means there is competition and then competition lowers prices and finally further improvement for graphic cards. AMD is not different. You just have to understand about businesses then you get why they do what they do.
I have not upgraded my nVidia drivers, so VDPAU might be fixed in 295.49 or the next stable release stated by the Gentoo community.
FYI, nVidia does add features to their video cards like 30-bit color to my aging GeForce8 8400M GS even though open source programs does not support these amount of colors.
well, it's gets better or worse: http://www.brightsideofnews.com/news...-and-nres.aspxWell, for some reason I'm not buying this ... only time will confirm or not this "rumor"A rumor appeared [...] Thus, if the Beijing rumor turns out to be true
Look, games are not important anymore. It's starting to become a niche market. You're probably thinking that I'm pulling that out of my ass, which is a logical assumption, but just look at the facts:
-Current gen console sales are nowhere near what they used to be with the previous generation consoles (like the Playstation 2), and;
-PC game sales are nowhere near consoles, according to the enterprise.
Conclusion: game sales are declining at an extreme speed. The prices go up, which is how the industry grows in worth in terms of money, which is the reason prices are still climbing, resulting in even more piracy. It's a downwards spiral.
Many people are converting to the Mac, which isn't realy the ultimate gaming platform, showing not a lot of people care for games. The biggest sales are in the cheap ass PC sector, which are not suitable for gaming. The PC graphics industry focusses on gimmick stuff like 3D, because that's the only way for PC gaming to have an advantage above console port games (make them somehow nicer), and 3D panels and glasses almost do not sell. Look at the figures for that.
So are superb graphics capabilities the key for market succes? Not realy and only slightly and vastly declining. Therefore drivers that are stable, energy efficient and somewhat capable of 3D desktop acceleration (which are the open source ones allmost, in terms of energy), are more important. Now look at the China example and conclude what is more profitable. Aren't IGP's pwning because of that now?
Rethink the market. IT companies are reinventing themselves constantly and those who don't addapt; DIE. AMD is addapting and will be succesfull. Intel is already adapting where needed, but on the PC they are fit enough for survival already. nVidia is being left to die if they don't reinvent quickly. If they realise what they have to do and put much more effort into documentation, DRM escaping and open development than AMD then you can bet your ass I will go nVidia.
You see; I'm NOT a fanboy. I'm only a giant fanboy of AMD _right now_ because they're better. If nVidia beats AMD at open source and free software I will instantly become a nVidia fanboy and vice-versa.
Au contraire, here is the feature matrix for the open source radeon driver:
Green means "done".
Yellow "WIP" means work-in-progress. Most of the time this means new work is required as such a feature does not exist anywhere (e.g. Video Decode {XvMC/VDPAU/VA-API} on the 3D engine, this doesn't exist anywhere, not even on Windows).
Red "TODO" means no documentation has been provided for that feature (e.g. Video Decode {XvMC/VDPAU/VA-API} on UVD hardware).
There is very little missing from this feature matrix because of the reason you imagined, to whit: "open source community is not fast enough to keep up with the changes that need to be done". This is for the most part simply untrue, that is NOT the reason why missing features are missing.
I think NVIDIA has picked up on these market trends and is trying to diversify its way out of the gaming niche. They wanted to go the x86 IGP route but Intel said no... so they're looking at using the ARM architecture instead (Project Denver). If they can pull that off they'll be in a good position. They've focused heavily on the mobile space (and have established themselves as a big player in that market). GPGPU computing appears to be an important part of their strategy and it looks like they're going to dabble in cloud gaming as well (a bit risky).
The interesting thing is that Linux will probably be the cornerstone of all of those avenues.
You "think" ??? -go think with your own $1799.00 bub. Seriously, unless its a couple years old, OR, it's the newer i think? -lol Nvidia GPU/AMD CPU Laptops?, then nope.
So, sadly enough, we're all stuck with an utterly USELESS "new" Optimus Laptop,..., for Linux.
Even "Clevo",... and/or any of the very few remaining others are building them all "with" Optimus now. - NO choice, 'cause it's hardwired, no thanks to Intel/Nvidia/Microsoft.
So ya, I aggree with Linus: "Nvidia, fuck-you !"

Second occurence of Bell's Palsy during junior year at Boston University interrupted her education |
Shelly was born on July 16, 1966 in Queens, NY and began doing summer stock on Long Island and in upstate New York when she was just 9-years old. Though sought after for child acting by agents, her father famously denied them, saying that he would "not have [his] daughter jumping out a window when she's 30." She continued acting in school productions at Jericho High School, before attending Boston University to study filmmaking, only to drop out her junior year to learn matters on her own. After relocating to Manhattan, Shelly co-founded Missing Children, an off-off-Broadway theatre company that staged productions in the West Village. Meanwhile, Hal Hartley managed to get a hold of Shelly's audition tape and headshot when casting for his first feature, "The Unbelievable Truth." Initially looking for a model-actress, Hartley was stunned by Shelly's ethereal beauty and undeniable talent, and cast her as Audry Hugo, a somber 17-year-old who spends her days worrying about the apocalypse and gets involved with a mysterious stranger (Robert Burke) rumored to be a mass murderer. The film emerged from the 1990 Sundance Film Festival a hit.
Hartley used Shelly in his next feature, "Trust," where she played a pregnant high school dropout involved in an unlikely romance with an anarchist electronics repairman (Martin Donovan). By this time, Shelly was considered to be part of the Hartley's esteemed acting stable, an uncomfortable distinction for an actress who tended to shy away from lavish compliments. She continued to find steady work as an actress, but rarely reached the artistic heights in acting she achieved with Hartley - though her performance in the little-known comedy "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kill Me" (1992) was widely considered to be one of her best. Such forgettable features as "Hexed" (1993), "Teresa's Tattoo" (1994) and "Grind" (1995) began filling out her resume and driving her to want something more from her career. In 1994, she made her directorial debut with the short "Urban Legend" (1994), described by Shelly as a New York City fairy tale. This was followed with her first feature "Sudden Manhattan" (1996), which also starred the filmmaker as a struggling city resident whose shambled life goes from bad to worse after witnessing a murder.
While still acting in low-budget features and the occasional role on series television, including the period comedy "Wrestling with Alligators" (1998) and an episode of "Oz" (HBO, 1997-2003), Shelly was clearly focused on working behind the camera. Her second feature, "I'll Take You There" (1999), a dark comedy about an obsessive woman (Ally Sheedy) who forces her blind date (Reg Rogers) at gunpoint on a wild nighttime rampage through New York City, earned Shelly honors at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival and praise from critics, who noted her maturation as a filmmaker. She returned to acting for a spell, appearing in "Revolution #9" (2001), a thriller about a schizophrenic man (Michael Risley) who believes everyone around him is part of a vast conspiracy; "Dead Dog" (2001), a dark comedy about how the death of a beloved pet destroys a once-happy New York couple (Jeremy Sisto and Paige Turco); and "Factotum" (2005), an adaptation of a Charles Bukowski novel about a sometimes writer (Matt Dillon) whose penchant for booze and women leads to self-destruction rather than inspiration.
After a six year absence from being behind the camera, Shelly wrote and directed her third - and ultimately final - film, "Waitress," a hopeful dark comedy about a pregnant pie maker (Keri Russell) who struggles with a jealous lout of a husband (Jeremy Sisto), while searching for the perfect recipe for love. Shot for just a few million dollars, "Waitress" marked a big artistic leap forward for Shelly, who managed to tell a simple, but emotionally engaging story with style, honesty and wit. Her dream was to get the film into the Sundance Film Festival, which did happen, but Shelly never knew because her life was ended before notifications were sent. On Nov. 1, 2006, while working in her Tribeca apartment, Shelly got into an argument with Diego Pillco, a 19-year-old construction worker from Ecuador, over excessive noise. Diego lashed out, punching Shelly in the face and pushing her into a table, causing her to hit her head. Thinking he had killed her and fearing deportation, Diego tied a sheet around Shelly's neck, dragged her across the apartment and hung her in the shower, trying to stage her death as a suicide. Police did originally conclude Shelly's death was suicide, but later found a suspicious sneaker print that matched Diego's own. Diego eventually confessed. Meanwhile, police discovered that Shelly survived the blow to the head and was killed by strangulation. She left behind her husband, Andrew Ostroy, and their 3-year-old daughter, Sophie. She was just 40 years old.

Her surname is sometimes spelled Shelley in TV and film credits. |
"I'm not a movie star, I'm an actress. I've been in a couple of movies, but sometimes I do think about what it would be like to leave the business. I think to myself that anytime it got tough, if I found myself just really unhappy, I would leave. I think about all the other lives I could be leading, and it makes me less, um, demented. It makes me more secure to think I could be happy doing other things." - Adrienne Shelly to Interview in 1991 |
About her role in "Sudden Manhattan": "Donna is definitely an exaggerated version of me in my twenties. Back then I was living like her character; scouring the underbelly of Manhattan, floating in my own fantasy world, getting entangled in bad relationships. As Lily Tomlin says, I was 'searching for signs of intelligent life in the universe.'" - Adrienne Shelley to The Independent, January-February 1997 |
On Nov. 1, 2006, Shelly's husband found her hanging by a bedsheet, from a shower rod in the bathtub of her West Village office/apartment, in what at first appeared to be a suicide; a few days later police arrested construction worker Diego Pillco, a 19-year-old illegal immigrant who confessed to killing Shelly after she complained about the noise he was making in the apartment below hers. |

Oarfish Redux: Another Dead Sea Serpent Washes Ashore, Creeping Out Californians
A second dead oarfish has washed up on the California coast, and marine experts say it is no coincidence coming five days after the first one.
RELATED: Mysterious Oarfish Found off California's Catalina Island Rivals Spanish 'Horned Sea Monster'
They do not, however, go so far as to give credence to superstitions that such deaths portend a major earthquake, as Japanese legend has it. Neither do they say that the deaths are due to human activity. Rather, the animals were most likely caught up in a rogue current that dragged them into shallower waters than they are used to surviving in. The second one may even have been dashed to death in the swells, researchers said.
Oarfish number two washed up along Oceanside Harbor on Friday October 17 and measured nearly 14 feet long, which is four feet shorter than the 18-footer that was found in the shallows off Catalina Island on October 13. The smaller one was about to give birth, the San Diego Union Tribune reported.
Since oarfish dive below 3,000 feet, they are rarely seen, especially alive. An exception was the oarfish captured by oil rig video cameras in the Gulf of Mexico a couple of years ago.
RELATED: Gentle Giant: Massive and Mysterious Oarfish Caught on Video
The latest oarfish incident was witnessed by between 50 and 75 beachgoers, some of whom called police, according to the San Diego Union Tribune. Officer Mark Bussey responded and snapped a photo before a representative from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) came to measure and retrieve it. It was cut into sections and divvied up for study, the newspaper said.
Milton Love, a research biologist at the Marine Science Institute, told the Los Angeles Times that the deaths are most likely linked. A current probably dragged them both from the still, deep waters they are accustomed to navigating into a turbulent area closer to shore, which they were not adapted for, he said.
The bottom line, though, is that scientists have no idea what killed these creatures, said Russ Vetter, director of the fisheries resource division at the Southwest Fisheries Science Center, to the Los Angeles Times. He helped dissect the more recent fish find.
"With a rare event like this, it is a bit troubling, but it's a total mystery," he told the newspaper.
The deaths brought Japanese legend to the minds of many. A good 10 of the creatures washed ashore in Japan in 2010, about a year before the March 2011, 8.9-magnitude earthquake that shook the northeastern part of the country and spawned the tidal wave that wiped out thousands of people, the Union Tribune reported.
Scientists cautioned against assuming that potential seismic activity undetected by scientific instruments could be picked up on by marine life. But they did not completely dismiss the idea that deep-sea oil drilling or climate change's effects on ocean currents could contribute to cause of death in otherwise healthy animals.
"The number of oarfish that beach themselves worldwide in a year is typically either one or zero, so this is unusual," Love told the Union Tribune. "It's possible any of those theories are true. I think it's a little early to say anything."

The Wolf Among Us FAQ (Last Update on December 18th, 2013)
All information in this FAQ is compiled by community moderators Jennifer and Vainamoinen. We check our facts thoroughly and have a lot of Telltale experience on our backs, but this is not an 'official' source, we're just volunteers!
(1) What is The Wolf Among Us?
It is an episodic game based on Bill Willingham's Fables comics, set in Fabletown, a hidden refuge for Fables in New York City. It is a prequel, set before the first issue, and is said by Mr. Willingham to be in canon with the comics. The player character will be the sheriff Bigby Wolf, and it will include Fables favorites like Snow White and Colin, one of the three little pigs. It will also star original Fables created by Telltale for this game.
(2) What kind of game can we expect?
It will be a game about choices, similar to The Walking Dead, with action sequences. The choices in this game relate to Bigby's wolf side, and how he treats the people he meets and those he has to protect. Like The Walking Dead, it will consist of choice based gameplay. However, there will be more freedom in the choices this time. You will be able to choose where to go in some instances, and the events will happen in real time. So, the other event will still play out regardless of whether or not you are there. Also, the action will be more directly controlled this time. Bigby will get into brawls, and since he is a Fable, the fights will be more over the top than they could be with someone like Lee from The Walking Dead.
(3) Is Bill Willingham involved with the game?
Bill Willingham reached a deal with Telltale to help direct the story of the game, and to make sure the characters and story stay true to the greater Fables universe.
(4) What platforms will TWaU be available for?
The episodes will be released for PC/Mac through the Telltale Store, Steam and other digital platforms, on the PlayStation3 through PSN, on Xbox360 through XBLA, and on iOS.
On October 24th, 2013, Telltale also announced a PS Vita version of The Wolf among Us. No release date has yet been announced for Vita.
(5) How much will it cost?
Like The Walking Dead, the episodes will cost $5 each. A season pass option comprising all five episodes will be available for $25. The price might vary per platform. On some platforms (like the PC), you can't buy the episodes individually and will have to buy the entire season at once.
(6) "Episodic" games? How does that work?
With a bit of patience, they do work. You can expect to receive a new episode roughly every one to two months. The way this works is each individual episode contains an individual part of a story that is held together through a narrative that connects all of the episodes together into what Telltale calls a season. Think along the lines of a serialized television series such as Lost.
The reason it takes a month or two to release the episodes is because Telltale's games really are created episodically, as they develop their games as they're making them, rather than finishing them ahead of time and then holding onto them until release (Telltale keeps working on the episodes right up until release day in the case of the computer versions). This has the added benefit of allowing them to improve gameplay or include topics in the storyline based on gamer and critic feedback (such tweaks to the action parts of The Walking Dead in later episodes, or the battery joke in episode 2 of The Walking Dead, or the joke about the length of Bone: Out from Boneville in Bone: The Great Cow Race).
(7) How many episodes will there be?
Five episodes are planned. Episode one is named Faith.
(8) When will the episodes be released?
Episode 1 "Faith" released October 11th on PC&Xbox Live / 14th on Mac / 15th for PSN NA / 16th PSN EU, and on December 5th for iOS.
Episode 2 release dates are **NOT OUT YET!!** Telltale has said that news about the release will be revealed "after the holidays". We're waiting for an official word as to how the Season is supposed to proceed and what time frames to expect, but nothing official has yet materialized.
(9) Will the different platforms release simultaneously?
Almost. Telltale has come a long way since 2009, when the PC and console releases of their episodes were months apart. With their last episodic release 'The Walking Dead', most platforms released within days of each other, and even these small lags were only due to the different release schedules of XBLA and PSN NA. However, PSN Europe always lagged a bit more. It is to be expected that these lags will also be apparent and unavoidable during the "Wolf among Us" release. Be prepared!
Lastly, these close release windows only refer to the platforms that have been announced in the initial announcement (here: PC/Mac, PSN, and XBLA). If any other platforms are announced at a later date, the episodes for these platforms naturally release on a different schedule!
(10) Are there concrete release dates for all these episodes?
Absolutely not!! While Telltale doesn't start each new episode 'from scratch', large parts of the development cycle still take place during these release months. From writing to animation to voice acting to possible gamer input from the forums, it all comes together to form a new episode only weeks and days before release; and eventually, another time frame insecurity is added when console manufacturers receive the final build of the episodes for their quality assurance process.
As a consequence, fixed dates will only be announced mere days before an episode releases (in Telltale's blog, on their twitter, facebook page, or possibly through official press releases or interviews with Telltale staff on large gaming sites such as IGN or Game Informer). Don't ever believe dates given by various unofficial sites, including placeholder dates on large gaming sites such as IGN or Game Informer (unless they were accompanied by an official statement or press release from a Telltale staff member)! These are nothing but estimates, placeholder dates and possibly wishful thinking.
(11) For which languages will the game be available?
Only English will be available at launch. There is no word on what languages The Wolf Among Us will be translated to or when they will be available, but historically Telltale has released their translations towards the end of the season.
(12) Will there be a bonus/free collector's DVD version available from the Telltale store?
YES! Yes, after three years, Telltale store PC/Mac Season customers will finally receive a free bonus game DVD just for shipping costs.
(13) If I buy the game from someplace other than the Telltale store will I still get the collector's DVD?
No. The collector's DVD is only available for PC and Mac customers who order from the Telltale store (or from an outlet that has a code that redeems on the Telltale Store).
(14) What will be on the collector's DVD from the Telltale store?
According to a post by the president of Telltale Games, Kevin Bruner, the collector's DVD will have the entire game on it, various videos, behind the scenes, etc. The DVD also comes in a case with special TTG only artwork. They have done a DVD with almost every TTG series, but since the DVD usually contains things that are created while the series is in production, they can't say what specific things will be on it. They usually start locking down the exact contents of the DVD as the season comes to a close.

The Wind in the Willows, Two Sons, and Four Lads
As thoughts cascade through my mind, I see two sons tumbling together, breaking apart into four lads. I hear a staccato song fading into the murmur of wind in the willows . . . .
Today is my son's 25th birthday—he has now lived five years longer than Alistair Grahame, the only child of Kenneth Grahame, the English author who gifted the world in 1908 with The Wind in the Willows. My library book club discussed that classic of children's literature earlier this week. We learned that the heart of Grahame's book had been stories he told to young Alistair, who was nicknamed Mouse. Grahame later expanded these tales of shy Mole, resourceful Ratty, practical Badger, and boastful Toad in letters to his son. Yet Alistair himself—unlike Mole—rarely "entered into the joy of running water" or "caught . . . something of what the wind went whispering so constantly . . . ." While he and his nanny wrote their own accounts of life in the country, titled The Merry Thought, Alistair also threw frequent tantrums. Reports from Alistair's first schools suggested that the boy often was most like loud, thoughtlessly destructive Toad!
Kenneth Grahame's biographers Peter Greene and Alison Prince reveal that the author and his wife Elspeth never accepted their son's partial blindness. He had been born with almost no vision in one eye and limited sight in the other. Still, his parents sent Alistair to boarding schools, expecting him to earn excellent grades and get along with boys passionate about team sports. Their expectations added to Alistair's physical problems. In 1920, two days before his twentieth birthday, Alistair Graham took his own life. He had staged his death on nearby railroad tracks, leaving only a headless torso.
Our reading group was horrified by this bloody image. It confounds a cliché: surely to outlive a child's suicide is a parent's worst nightmare. Contemplating the Grahames' anguish of probable regrets and unending questions, I am not surprised that after Alistair's death they sold their family home and lived abroad for four years. When they returned to England, they settled in a different riverside community. Kenneth Grahame would write almost nothing for publication until his death in 1932.
Ironically, The Wind in the Willows has far outlasted what would have been Alistair Grahame's natural lifetime. It has even been reincarnated in staged dramas, a Broadway musical, and several British TV and radio series. Its filmed versions range from a Disney cartoon to stop motion animations and movies in which human actors (including the entire antic crew of Monty Python) play the woodland creatures. Author William Horwood in the 1990s wrote four sequels to Grahame's classic, while another British author, Jan Needle, has retold it from the working-class viewpoint of the novel's villains, with Baxter Ferret as the hero! The Wind in the Willows has also inspired musicians. Dutch composer Johan de Meij created a four-movement classical piece based on it; Van Morrison wrote and sang the haunting "Piper at the Gates of Dawn," rooted in the book's central chapter of the same name. Yet it is another, lighter musical piece that has echoed for me these last days, as I contemplate the choices of grown sons.
When Ratty encounters the restless Sea Rat, who speaks so enchantingly of his many voyages to distant ports, it is Sea Rat's foreign birthplace that claims my attention: "ancient and glorious . . . Constantinople." For that is the exotic location, halfway around the globe, where my own son lives. Once ancient Byzantium, Constantinople was renamed Istanbul in 1930 by Turkey's charismatic leader Mustapha Kemal Ataturk. The lure of this cosmopolitan port city has proven stronger for my son than the "caressing appeals . . . those invisible little hands pulling and tugging" one home. No Mole he, to long for familiar sights and sounds . . . or even his fond parents.
And so I tap my feet to the syncopated rhythms of "Istanbul (not Constantinople)," that snappy tune first recorded in the 1950s by The Four Lads. Their pop musings about the absurdity of geopolitics, of what outlasts and transcends renamings, remind me to be grateful for my confident, bold son. However much I sometimes wish he were closer to my home, he is making his own way, figuring out where his own home may be. Unlike Alistair Grahame, he has not been devastated by difficulties encountered in the Wild Wood or the larger Wide World. My son heeds those quiet places inside and outside of himself, remaining so-to-speak attuned to the murmur of wind in the willows. Whenever I have doubts or feel discouraged by his distance, I count it a good omen that the most recent singing group to record "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" is the self-proclaimed They Might be Giants.

Her biography, Sarah Winnemucca: Scout, Activist, and Teacher, was honored by the Western Writers of American as a finalist in the 2007 Spur Award competition for juvenile nonfiction and represented the state of Nevada at the 2006 National Book Festival in Washington, D. C. In 2011, Graphic Content! The Culture of Comic Books was named a "Book of Note" for young adults by the Pennsylvania School Librarians Association. She and her husband currently live in Bloomington, Minnesota.

That was a thoughtful and poetic piece of writing which added to my knowledge of the Grahames. I hope you share a happy 27th birthday with your son this November, my own son turns 27 next week.
Thank you, Margaret, for taking time to read and comment, and for your good wishes. I must say that–given how the Turkish government has been responding so brutally to protests this past month in Istanbul–I am happy that my son has been "out-of-town," travelling in other parts of Europe and Asia.
I hope your son and you enjoyed celebrating his 27th birthday!

I've just started to try out :chro: in the past few games and have been completely sucking as him. I do fine as other carries such as , but for some reason i cant do chronos.
I start out with logger's, 2 minor totems, and 9 runes. I do pretty good at early game laning with last hits and build up iron shield and steamboots pretty fast, but from there it just goes downhill. I never seem to be able to get the farm that i need. In any fight I do pitiful damage. When i ult, its probably hurting my team more then it is helping them because I cant kill anything inside it. The games don't usually last long enough for me to build up a decent farm. The other team always pushes us back and forces me to play defensively, so its dangerous to lane. When i neutral, my team usually gets destroyed without me.
I was also wondering what items to go for on chronos. After boots i usually get an elder parasite, but even with the attack speed my damage is not enough to kill anything. I saw a chronos in a professional match go runed axe first (before boots) and then parasite and then savage mace.
On a side note what is a solid item build for other heroes such as ? I used to get whispering helm and then frostburn or shieldbreaker, but now they don't stack anymore. Its usually too early to start a wingbow or savage mace. What is a good early/mid game carry item for him?
start off by buying a hatchet, a buckler, and a health potion. the buckler will allow you to avoid a lot of damage. try to last hit yourself to a lifetube within 3-4 mins(grab it at the outpost) and then work towards runed axe.
this will allow you to farm a lot faster and more efficiently. boots arent really necessary early on chronos, as he has a great escape mechanism
I don't like Chronos after all his new changes - I feel he can't carry as hard as he used to. The old old Chronos was useless early on, but a very capable hard carry lategame. The new remake made him alot more useful early, while only sacrificing lategame a bit. Now he can't carry, has a little better early-game, same mid-game since the damage from his bashes was moved to his time leap. He's useless unless you have a Forsaken Archer or Pollywog or something on the outside.
With the new changes to lifesteal, I'd suggest a Shieldbreaker instead of an Elder Parasite. I don't recommend Runed Axe because he's no longer a hard carry - you can try to get a Shieldbreaker, Charged Hammer, or Savage Mace like you always used to; or you can try something more exotic like a Staff of the Master, since he's only good for his ulti now - Puzzlebox might work, or a Frostfield Plate to help with mana and initiation. Get a power supply early on as well.
Since you're less of a carry and more an initiator, try to gank every time your ulti is up and teleport back to teamfights.
chronos is still a hard carry.
in the beginning your only job is to farm. you can use your charge and ult to get a some kills on your lane, if you have a good partner, but thats it. in a team fight you are too weak, and ult lasts too short, and you are too squishy. so you only have to worry about optimizing your farm.
start with axe, shield, runes. get lifetube first, upgrade shield, get steamboots, finish runed axe, get elder parasite, get frostburn (i know these dont stack anymore, but the hp and attack speed are very useful, and you can just switch modifiers as you need them. when chasing someone you dont need lifesteal and only the slow, in a big fight you only need lifesteal, so no big loss), then riftshards and wingbow.
you could rush runed and get it before steamboots, but this just means runed axe maybe 5 minutes earlier, while you are slower, hit slower, and have less hp. imho this tradeoff doesnt make your farm more efficient, but you risk dieing and missing a kill because auf your speed. so i would rush the axe only on a lane with freefarm.
as chronos its really important that you can farm well. you should be able to make at least 300gpm. your farm should be ok if you get lifetube before 4:30, runed axe and steamboots before 25, elder before 30, and frostburn before 40. you start getting really useful with elder.
a really good farm is lifetube about 3, boots and axe about 20, and elder at 23.

Hmm i dont know why F8 mean chronos is underpowered and many other high gamers. Swift for example is 10000x times better.Ah and first trust the nm players and the players over 1800 PSR. And for the other guy.
Try at begin with hatchet,stout shield, some heal and have courier on your team to bring some new heal. Go to the easier line HB up Legion DOwn creep pull at 0.45 sec 1.15 sec and then each 2.15 ....5.15. Get Leap and Rewind if you want to be the hard carry to avoid get killed. If you want to gank get Leap Bash, and try some alternatives build
swift is overpowered atm, so comparing with him every hero is too weak (except zeph). and there is no reason to get bash first, on low lvls the stun is too short, and you attack too slow to get anything useful out of that skill.
:LoggersHatchet::MinorTotem::MinorTotem::RunesOfTh eBlight::HealthPotion:
:IronBuckler:uckBoots:uckBoots: - :IronShield:
:Lifetube::Manatube: - :Sustainer::Broadsword::BastardSword: - :RunedAxe:
in that order.
After that get whatever carry items you want.
Farming should be easy enough now anyway.

DELAWARE, Ohio — A Sunbury man who met a teenage girl online drove to Indiana to meet the girl, took her back to his apartment in Ohio and raped her, police said yesterday.
Scott Cisco, 47, turned himself in to police on Thursday night.
The police had gone to Cisco's apartment after the girl, a 17-year-old from the Indianapolis area, escaped and called for help when Cisco went to work on Thursday.
Police think Cisco drove to Indiana to get the girl on Wednesday and held her in his apartment, at 1271/2 S. Vernon St. in Sunbury, against her will.
The girl is back in Indiana, a spokeswoman for the Delaware County prosecutor's office said yesterday.
Cisco faces one count of kidnapping with sexual motivation and one count of rape. Both are felonies.
He is being held in the Delaware County jail. Bail was set at $250,000.
