Historical Context
The Enlightenment
The Enlightenment and The Age of Reason are alternate names used by historians and critics to identify the eighteenth century. While the eighteenth century technically, of course, began in 1700, the term ''eighteenth century'' when used by literary critics has come to mean the years falling between the Restoration of Charles II in 1660 and the publication of Wordsworth and Coleridge's Lyrical Ballads (the book that sparked English romanticism) in 1798. In short, the eighteenth century was a period marked by incredible enthusiasm for science, history, and literature that the English had not enjoyed since the end of the Renaissance a century earlier.
The reasons for this sudden renewal of interest in the arts and sciences are complex but can be roughly understood by considering the terrible chaos that the nation had just endured and barely survived. The seventeenth century was marked by a civil war in which King Charles I and his army of loyalist ''Cavaliers'' fought with an army raised by the Puritan members of Parliament, who felt that Charles had grown too corrupt, too powerful, and too belligerent. Eventually, the Puritans defeated their Royalist opponents; after a trial by his enemies in which he could never have prevailed, Charles I was beheaded in 1649. The monarchy was—so the Puritans believed—abolished, and Oliver Cromwell, the military genius and commander of the Puritan forces, became...

Literary Style
The Critic takes place in two locations: Dangle's house and the theater where Puff's play is rehearsed; each setting reflects the values and assumptions of its principal character.
Dangle's house is a place where actors, singers, writers, and other ''lackeys of literature'' gather to solicit his approval and patronage. Dangle is a selfprofessed lover of the theater and his home reflects this; for while there, he does not engage in any conversation that is not about the theater. When reading the newspapers, for example, he dismisses the threat of a possible war in order to read about ''theatrical politics.'' In fact, Dangle's love of theater is so great and so ingrained in him that he often ''performs'' in his drawing room as if he were on stage. He finds Sir Fretful's latest play atrocious yet calls it ''finished and most admirable'' once he hears Fretful entering the room. Similarly, when Mrs. Dangle attempts to tell Sir Fretful that her husband and Sneer were just laughing at Sir Fretful's play, Dangle hides the truth from Fretful with the excuse, ''My friend Sneer was rallying just now . . . Sneer will jest.'' Dangle and Sneer's greatest performance occurs when they invent a series of negative reviews for Sir Fretful's work and pretend that they have read them in the newspapers. Because Sir Fretful is Dangle's friend, Dangle tries not to offend him; it is only through...

Compare and Contrast
1700s: Adam Smith's groundbreaking treatise on economics, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, is published in 1776. The book outlines the laissez-faire notion of economics that holds that the government should not interfere in business or trade.
Today: Great Britain and the United States have, to some extent, adopted Smith's ideas, although attempts by the U.S. government to break up the Microsoft corporation sparked many debates about the role of the government in commercial affairs.
1700s: Alexander Pope and Samuel Johnson's lengthy poems and essays (such as Pope's 1711 work An Essay on Criticism and Johnson's 1765 Preface to Shakespeare) are widely read; in their work, each writer offers his notions of what constitutes quality drama and poetry.
Today: Literary criticism has somewhat given way to literary theory, a discipline that examines not only the workings of literary pieces but the ways in which these pieces are the products of economic struggles and gender identity.
1700s: Satire dominates literary taste: by the time of The Critic's premiere in 1779, works such as John Wilmot Rochester's ''A Satyr against Mankind'' (1679), Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels (1726), John Gay's The Beggar's Opera (1728), Alexander Pope's The Dunciad (1729), and Laurence Sterne's...

Topics for Further Study
Review the ideas set forth in Aristotle's Poetics about the necessary components of a tragedy and apply these ideas to a tragic work, such as Oedipus the King or Puff's The Spanish Armada.
In 1776, Sheridan purchased an interest in the Drury Lane Theatre from David Garrick, one of the most highly praised actors of his day. Research the history of the Drury Lane Theatre and how it contributed to eighteenth-century drama as a whole.
Puff's The Spanish Armada is set during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I but had echoes for Sheridan's audience of a possible contemporary crisis. To what degree did Sheridan's audiences feel the threat of a foreign invasion?
At the end of Puff's play, Sheridan offers a number of stage directions that broadly outline what the audience sees during the climactic battle scene. How would you stage this battle and the ''procession of rivers?'' How would you make the scene as silly as the rest of The Spanish Armada?
Compose a short script in which you parody the conventions of a cinematic form, like Sheridan does with tragedy. Consider science fiction, western, or detective films as possible subjects.
Compose three different reviews of The Spanish Armada: one by Dangle, one by Sneer, and one by Puff himself. Be sure that each review accounts for its author's personality and aesthetics.

What Do I Read Next?
Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream (1600) features a band of actors who rehearse their tragedy, The Most Lamentable Comedy and Most Cruel Death of Pyramus and Thisby, with hilarious results. Act V of A Midsummer Night's Dream features the play's performance.
Like The Critic, Michael Frayn's farce Noises Off (1982) consists of rehearsals for a play where nothing happens as it should. Like A Midsummer Night's Dream, Noises Off ends with the audience watching the play they just saw being rehearsed.
The Rivals (1775), Sheridan's first play, is a comedy concerning the thwarted (but eventually reconciled) love between Captain Absolute and Lydia Languish. The play is famous for the character of Mrs. Malaprop, Lydia's aunt who makes a number of ''malapropisms,'' humorous linguistic errors (''As headstrong as an allegory on the banks of the Nile'').
Sheridan's The School for Scandal (1777), considered by many to be his masterpiece, follows the drawing room adventures of Lady Sneerwell and her group of gossips. Critics routinely praise the play as the perfect ''comedy of manners.''
The American playwright David Mamet's A Life in the Theater (1977) concerns two actors—one young, one old—who discuss, in a series of vignettes, their work as actors and their struggles with their craft.

11 May 2012
Composting awareness was the order of the day earlier this week, when Caerphilly County Borough Council's Waste Management team held a successful awareness raising event in Nelson as part of International Compost Awareness Week.
Even the rain couldn't keep enthusiastic recyclers away, with the team offering advice to more than 40 residents keen to get composting.
Caerphilly has teamed up with Waste Awareness Wales to encourage householders in the area to celebrate International Compost Awareness Week (6th – 12th May) by taking the opportunity to get involved and try composting for themselves. Residents could also purchase a compost bin for a subsidised price of just £10 and were able to get lots of tips on the best way to compost and recycle.
Those who purchased composting bins ranged from families looking to recycle more, gardeners wishing to produce nutrient rich compost for use on their vegetable patches and florists with excess cuttings.
Mark Williams, Head of Public Services said, "We were really pleased to see so many people take an interest in composting. Those who purchased their bins will have nutrient rich compost to use in their gardens in as little as nine months. Home composting helps ensure that organic household waste doesn't end up in landfill, so we'd like to thank those who do their bit to compost, as they are helping us to make Caerphilly a cleaner, greener place to live."
For more information, please call 01495 235 272 or go to our Compost at Home web page.

Designed For Full Frame (FX) Canon DSLRs
Silent DC Motor With GMR Sensor
15 Elements in 13 Groups
Aspherical, Super-Low Dispersion Glass
Easily Switch From Auto to Manual Focus
Professional 16-28mm F/2.8 Lens
Designed for professional full frame (FX) Canon DSLRs.
NEW Silent DC Motor With GMR Sensor
The 16-28 f/2.8 uses a newly developed silent DC motor that allows the lens to focus faster and more quietly then previous generations. The DC motor coupled with a new GMR magnetic AF sensor work together to increase AF Speed.
Aspherical and Super-Low Dispersion Glass Elements
A new, 56mm-diameter, large size aspherical glass element is incorporated into the front lens group, while there are 2 more aspherical elements in the rear group. 3 SD super-low dispersion glass elements are also incorporated throughout the optical design to reduce chromatic aberration, give maximum resolution, more even brightness and distortion correction.
One-Touch Focus Clutch
Tokina's exclusive One-Touch Focus Clutch Mechanism allows the photographer to switch between AF and MF simply by snapping the focus ring forward for AF and back toward the camera to focus manually. There is no second AF/MF switch on the lens for Canon, everything is accomplished with the focus ring.

Low distortion, great value for the money. Nice build.
No easy way for filters. Tends to flare a bit. I personally don't like the push/pull to change from auto to manual focus but that is a personal thing.
I only occasionally needed a true wide angle lens and could not justify the cost of the Canon 16/35. After reading many positive reviews on the Tokina I gave it a try. I could not be more please. Much less distortion than the Canon, just as sharp if not sharper for half the cost. This one met my needs perfect.

Superb build quality. Very low distortion for an UWA. Optically great, even better than lens that cost twice
Heavy, bulky, not well suited for filters
I was happy with Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 (first version) on my Canon APS-C cameras, so this was an obvious choice when I moved to full-frame.
It's heavy and bulky. The auto-focus isn't blazing fast, but accurate, fast enough for an UWA.
Build quality is superb, as we expect from Tokina. Image quality is great. I think it competes well with much more expensive alternatives, and I am not alone feeling that way:
Distortion is minimal, a great achievement in this focal range.
Compared to my Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 and Tokina 16-50 f/2.8 this one handles flares better (poor flares handling has been an issue on many Tokina lenses). I assume the new coating advertised by Tokina isn't just marketing junk after all :-)
Still I feel Canon lenses tend to do a bit better with flares.
In many ways it feels the full-frame equivalent of Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 and it deserves the same praises.

Built like a Tokina -- similar to a tank. Crisp. Amazingly low distortion, considering how wide it is.
Vulnerable front element, terrible hood (on my earlier model anyway), lack of ability to use any filters.
Very nice lens. My previous wide angle zooms included a Tokina 12-24 f4 (I had a bad copy I think; terrible AF accuracy), and a Canon EFS 10-22 (which was a fine lens, but wouldn't fit my upgrade to full frame). This is a great lens though. Fast, crisp, much lower distortion than one would expect with such a wide angle. Built like a tank too (a bit heavy as a result, if weight is an issue with you). The only thing I hesitate with as far as Tokina goes is their service and support. I didn't like the response to my 12-24 focusing issue ("it's within spec", when to me it clearly was not). With this lens, no issues; except the lens cap which they will replace for free (Though it's been 2 months so far since I made the request, and two weeks after I finally got a response to my emails, saying it should go out "this week"). But I've had no technical issues with this lens, and it fits the wide angle slot in my lens assortment very well. The inability to apply filters is a bit of an issue, but I've done okay without them, especially with the options we all have in post processing. I'd definitely recommend it to others.

famous Tokina build quality, excellent sharpness, colors, price
rather slow autofocus, bad lens cap
This review could be a short one, because this lens is truly amazing!
It is build like a... well, like the most of Tokina's lenses. The first time you take this lens in your hand, you realize it's worth the money you paid. It's heavy, rubber rings well made and operate smoothly, but with proper resistance, I also like the af/mf switching by pushing/pulling the front ring. Some people used to Canon's lenses would not like it, but for me it's perfect. There are only two flaws when it comes to build quality: front lens is vulnerable, but you know that when you buy this lens. I also have to admit that after half of a year of working with this lens I'm surprised by a quality of coatings - removing fingerprints is easy and I do not see any scratches, even though i have incidentally touched it many times. A second flaw is a lens cap. As far as I know, Tokina sells this lens with a new, better lens cap, but the early versions (unfortunately also mine) were equipped with caps that seems to be a bad joke - very thin, loose, falling off the lens all the time.
When it comes to lens' performance there is only one flaw: rather slow autofocus. I mean, it is not bad, but it's far for being as fast or silent as in Canon lenses equipped with USM. But the AF is quite accurate, I do not have any problems with ff or bf even though I bought it via the Internet, without having possibility to test it before purchase. Having said that, I must admit, that an optical performance is really amazing! It's really sharp, especially for being an ultra wide lens. I use it on cropped sensors (40D and 7D), so the center of image is almost as sharp as borders, but had an opportunity to test it on 5D markII and it still performed great. The color rendition is also good. F/2.8 is fully usable. When it comes to CA, it's noticeable on f/2.8, but not as visible as in Tokinas 11-16 or 12-24.
To sum it all up: I had a hard time when my Tamron 17-50 broke and had to buy a new lens. Canon 17-40 did not impress me and f/4 is too dark for me and Canon 16-35 is definitely overpriced for its performance. Both those lenses have much better autofocus, but fail in comparison with the Tokina when it comes to the optical performance. I am also used to use polarizers and gradual filters, so it was also hard to decide to buy a lens with no filter mount, but recently I made a deatachable filter thread that allows me to use Cokin/Lee/Hitech filters, so this stopped to being a problem.
If you need a FF lens, can live without ultra fast AF and filter thread, I truly recommend you Tokina 16-28. Give it a chance and you will be delighted with pictures this lens produces.

SALEM – A Salem woman with a history of being arrested for driving under the influence is being held without bail pending her trial.
Jacquelyn Plum, 46, of 22 Millville Circle, Salem, has pending trials for two different cases of driving while intoxicated, second offense. Police said her most recent arrest came when she waved at a police officer on a road construction detail, and that officer recognized her after arresting her in March.
At a hearing in Salem District Court on Monday, Salem police prosecuting attorney Jason Grosky moved to revoke Plum's $10,000 bail stemming from a September incident, arguing that it was the only way to keep her alcohol-free and ensure that she does not get behind the wheel of a car.
Judge John A. Korbey granted the prosecution's request and ordered Plum held without bail pending trial. She was taken into custody at court and transported to Rockingham County House of Corrections, according to Salem Deputy Police Chief Shawn Patten.
Patten said Plum has been arrested four times and charged with DWI - in 2005, 2006, and twice this year.
Plum's most recent brushes with the law date back to March 30 of this year, when she was arrested for driving while intoxicated, second offense. Hours after Plum was bailed out, she was arrested for having an open container of alcohol as a passenger in a different vehicle, Patten stated.
While pending trial on that charge, Patten said she was arrested and charged with another driving while intoxicated on Aug. 28. She was arraigned in Salem District Court on the next day where she was freed on $10,000 cash bail and court-ordered not to drive until her cases were resolved.
"Then, on September 30, she allegedly drove a convertible yellow sports car by a road construction on Bluff Street Extension," said Patten. "As she drove by, she apparently waved at Salem police officer Robert Kirley, who was working the road detail."
Kirley recognized Plum, since he was the arresting officer on her March arrest. Police then arrested her on a warrant for driving after suspension and breach of bail conditions.
In court on Monday, Grosky argued that Plum is a public danger, that her first DWI involved a two-car crash, and that the second came after another motorist allegedly found her passed out in her car while stopped at a green light.
Plum's lawyer, Paul Garrity, asked the judge to let her remain free, but to place her on electronic monitoring and have her report to the police department for daily alcohol checks.
Salem woman accused of drunk driving four times held without bail pending trial
Plum is scheduled to return to court for a preliminary hearing on all matters in two weeks. Trial dates have not been set, according to Patten.

Kwik Kopy Printing Founder Bud Hadfield Passes Away
Bud Hadfield, founder of ICED, passed away peacefully at home on Monday with his family by his side. He had been in declining health for several months.
F. C. "Bud" Hadfield
August 26, 1923 – April 11, 2011
Frederick Cordingley "Bud" Hadfield passed away peacefully at home on Monday with his family by his side. He had been in declining health for several months.
He leaves to honor his memory his wife of 50 years, Mary; daughter Katherine Denison and her husband, Pat; son James "Jim" Hadfield and his wife, Linda; grandchildren Shay; Tate; Reding; Katie, and Travis; and nephew, Rick Hadfield and his family. Members of the ICED family around the globe who he touched and inspired also mourn his passing.
Known by all, including his grandchildren, as Bud, he was a pioneer in the quick printing industry, starting with Kwik Kopy Printing. He went on to build an empire of franchises that today includes seven brands represented in 13 countries. Parent company ICED is headquartered at Northwest Forest, a bucolic 100+ acre conference center in Cypress, built in 1985, featuring a full-size replica of the Alamo that draws visitors year-round.
Bud pioneered many concepts that have evolved to become mainstays in the quick printing industry. Kwik Kopy Printing was a technology leader as early as 40 years ago with the advent of the duplicator press and the direct image camera
Born in Virginia, Bud and his family moved to Cranston, Rhode Island, in the late '20s. As a teen, he became a newspaperman, printing a neighborhood paper in the basement. After the good scholar became a rebel and was expelled from school shortly before graduation, he joined the Merchant Marines and spent most of WWII on the high seas. A brief career as an amateur boxer convinced the youthful Bud there had to be an easier way to make a living.
Bud drifted to Massachusetts, but a bitter 1947 winter drove him south to the warmer climate of Houston, where he eventually opened Bud Hadfield Printers.
A stint as an aide to Mayor Louie Welch gave Bud mayoral aspirations of his own until his spectacular defeat at the hands of Fred Hofheinz. Bud's philosophy of "stick to what you know" sent him back to printing – and thousands around the world benefited.
At a friend's urging, Bud reluctantly took the Dale Carnegie course, eventually becoming a salesman and instructor. He sold a course in 1958 to a young lady named Mary who became his wife and business partner; the two of them would remain best friends for life. Bud credited the Dale Carnegie course with changing his life, and he would remain an instructor for some 30 years.
After failing at nine diverse businesses – what he called part of learning – Bud found success in printing, morphing Bud Hadfield Printers into Kwik Kopy Printing, introducing new technology, and promoting the explosive growth in franchising. AWT; The Ink Well; Franklin's Printing; Kwik Kopy Business Centers; Parcel Plus, and Computer Explorers followed, with a few acquired or started and eventually discontinued along the way.
A highlight for the company, and for Bud, was the 1990 annual conference held at George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston. Former President Ronald Reagan and Dr. Norman Vincent Peale were keynote speakers, and former astronaut Admiral Alan Shepard, a member of the ICED Board of Directors, gave a talk.
On March 23, 1993, the Texas Senate declared Bud Hadfield Day, citing his many contributions to the citizens of Texas, noting his involvement with civic groups and schools as he urged young people to further their education.

"Sweet" Charlie Brown had the ball and a lot of confidence. With the clock winding down in overtime at San Francisco's Cow Palace, Brown was supposed to deliver a pass to Elgin Baylor, arguably the greatest college player at the time, so his Seattle University teammate could supply a second game-winning shot in as many nights.
"[John] Castellani called his favorite play: Give it to Elgin," said Brown, referring to his coach.
On March 15, 1958, Brown, in sizing up an ominous California Golden Bears team in the NCAA Tournament's Far West Regional, also had another option he could count on: Himself.
In regulation play against Cal, Brown already had come up with a heroic basket of his own, dropping in a short twisting shot with 10 seconds remaining to tie the game at 60 and force the extra session.
Now with a Final Four berth on the line and the score tied at 62, the Chicago native looked for Baylor. With the crowd of 14,862 on its feet, Brown next turned his attention to the rim from 20 feet out.
"I was at the top of the key when I had the ball, faked the pass to Elgin and three players ran to Elgin right away." Brown said. "I said, 'What is this? Chopped liver?' Nobody was guarding me. He had three guys guarding him like flies go to sugar. I didn't even think about it. It was instinct. I was open and had a shot.
"What's the worst thing that could have happened -- another overtime? I shot and we won, and I didn't know what all the hullaballoo was about."
With Seattle U returning to full Division I championship eligibility for the first time in 33 years -- when the Redhawks host Washington in a women's soccer match at Championship Field on Aug. 17 -- this is the eighth in a series of 33 stories replaying memorable SU events previously held at the NCAA's top level (1952-80).
At the Cow Palace, Brown had come up with two clutch shots in one night, and a permanent place in SU folklore. Brown finished with 12 points, second to Baylor's 26. The final margin become four when teammate Francis Saunders sank a pair of free throws after time expired, putting a capper on a 66-62 victory. Brown was the catalyst.
"In my era, in the '50s, you had to have two great players to win the tournament," Castellani said. "We had Charlie and Elgin. Charlie took over. Charlie had no fear."
After playing two seasons at Indiana, Brown had joined the Chieftains as a transfer, thinking he found a place where he could really succeed. It didn't hurt to have Baylor as a teammate either.
"People in Chicago were asking me, 'Who is this Elgin Baylor?' " Brown said. "Oscar Robertson got all this press in the Midwest. With Elgin, the news was suppressed. Everybody said, 'Who's Elgin?' I said, 'You're going to find out.' "
But for one glorious night in San Francisco, "Sweet" Charlie Brown made sure everyone knew exactly who he was.

oh geez , go soak your head !
Some people make wiser choices over who and why they marry.
Sunny Wrote: (06-17-2012 11:40 PM)Some people make wiser choices over who and why they marry. It's not about a wise choice dear.. it's about luck of the draw. I know many smart guys who thought they made a wise choice and ended up in this situation. See, it's 50/50 these days.. no better than a Roulette game at a casino. Red or Black. Women are unpredictable.. period. With a divorce rate hovering at 50 percent.. I don't think thats a bet Im willing to make.
That story is all too common, a revolting expose on this evil world of sin. God's Word says not to get married if at all possbile because it will not work out...not might not, will not. But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh (1 Corinthians 7:28)
what you are describing is life. doesnt work out like that for everyone, and if it does, so what? if you want to avoid all real responsibility and just serve yourself, thats up to you. its a nice easy option, albeit a rather an empty, pointless and nihilistic existence, but hey ho essentially your genes will die with you but thats probably just good old darwinism in action. the rest of us will carry on somehow without your genetic gold mine

Moved northern scout patrol west along river - found a fungal tower!
Started solar panel
Captured spore launcher with southern scout patrol - found unity pod.
Moved southern scout to pop pod - found an energy bonus. As this is at 2xxx meters, when we have crawlers, we could solar panel this for 5 energy, or we could just level the rockiness and put a forest there. We could even drop it elevation and put a borehole there.
Moved spore launcher east - found Uranium Flats!
Popped fungal tower - got 30 ECs!
Switched base #2 production to colony pod
Also found that Morgan is running FM by now.
Northern scout moved NW, SE, SE, exploring a bit but finding nothing much.
Spore launcher moved along river to explore Uranium Flats more thoroughly, found another pod.
Southern scout headed towards Gaia's Landing to get back just in time next turn to head off a drone riot.
Moved spore launcher down the Uranium River - found the other side of the flats, at water, as well as two more unity pods.
Moved northern scout south.
Moved southern scout north.
Gaia's Landing grows next turn; Base #2 grows in 4 turns.
Hurrying the CP in Gaia's Landing will cost 30 ECs next turn. Hurrying the CP in base #2 will cost 15 ECs just after it grows. Our current balance is 34 ECs and it isn't growing except through planetpearls and stockpiling energy (which will give us 2 energy at each base, when the CPs finish).
7 turns projected until Planetary Networks, but the actual figure should be 5-6, since the solar panel will be done in 3 turns, and we'll be planting base #3 pretty soon.
At the end of the turn, I received a notice that the Uni had discovered SotHB - is this something we need to relay to the other teams?
By a 2-1 vote, the spore launcher popped the pod north of it, hoping for a free hurry or a nice sum of energy credits. It found a mineral bonus, which is a fairly good outcome, if not what we wanted.
Hurried the CP at Gaia's Landing for 30 ECs
Sent the scout at Gaia's Landing west, to either explore further west, or pop the pod directly to the south, depending on debate.
Brought the northern scout back to base, to heal, defend, and in a few turns serve as police.
Gaia's Landing completed CP; put formers in queue for pod pop, and since we haven't decided what to build next
Southern scout popped pod - unity foil! Also discovered a pod to the west.
Unity foil moved south, then since we haven't explored the west much, to the west. Found another unity pod
Spore launcher moved west, in a position to either serve as a garrison to base #3, or pop yet another pod.
Northern scout healed
Former completed its solar panel, adding 1 more lab and one more econ to Gaia's Landing (attempts to direct all 4 energy to labs were futile) - Planetary Networks will be done in 3 turns.
Southern scout popped pod - found a monolith!
In the absence of a standing consensus, I did what I would do in my own games and accepted the morale upgrade, on the basis that as a non-independent scout patrol, its lifetime may be short, and it needs all the morale it can get now.
Spore launcher popped pod - found a nutrient bonus (on an arid-rolling-uranium). The Uranium Flats are becoming a very attractive place for bases.
Foil continued exploring to the west, found yet another pod, this one not in fungus.
Northern scout stayed put, will need to be police next turn.
Former started on a road, since the area southwest of Gaia's Landing just became much more attractive for bases.
Spore launcher found two mind worms!
Hastily redirected CP #3 to base site #4 after consulting with smacksim and Net Warrior
Unity foil found a unity rover, but couldn't safely reach land this turn (or some other reason why I didn't...)
Former finished road
Base #2 grew to size 2 - CP in 3
Southern scout went north

Spore launcher captured the northern mind worm!
Lost track of the southern one, which means it went south or west.
Moved southern scout patrol to Gaia's Landing, to serve as worm defense, former escort, and later police.
Moved unity foil along coast, then unloaded rover - found the Ruins!
Rushed CP in base #2 for 7 ECs.
Moved CP to former base site #4.
Finished Planetary Networks - started Industrial Base
Checked on our opponents:
Roze has 3 population and all of our techs. She is running starting SE.
Morgan has 2 population and does not have Planetary Networks. He is still running FM.
Santi has 3 population of our techs only has Centauri Ecology. She is running starting SE.
Planted base #3 - placed Probe Team in the build queue temporarily
Placed former in base #2 build queue temporarily
Moved unity foil into fungus successfully
Moved unity rover within fungus
Moved CP #4 towards the southwest base site
Moved spore launcher south, and found the rogue mind worm. Our mind worm killed it, gaining us 10 ECs and it a morale level, though it suffered ~60% damage.
Moved southern scout back to Gaia's Landing, in preparation to possibly guard base #3
Moved former north, in preparation for building roads among bases.
Unity rover went northeast - found a pod next to future base #4, that should be safe to pop once the base is established.
Southern scout remained in Gaia's Landing - 4 turns until growth (and a drone) prevent it from getting far.
Northern scout went east out of base #2 - 7 turns until growth are plenty of time to get to the eastern pod and back, and there's a unity rover in the area to help out with sudden worms
Spore launcher went north, then northwest, to reach the pod north of it.
Mind worm stayed put, to heal
Former started on a road - I've gotten mixed signals on this, and we'll use this road plenty anyway, so might as well build it now.
Base #3 switched to a former, losing 1 mineral. We need to decide on the production at base #4 now.
Base #4 moved towards its site
Unity foil went north-northwest
Moved sliders to 50-50
Unity rover tried to go east, found a worm, killed it for 10 ECs, giving us 28 total, and suffering just 30% damage. Tried to go east again, failed.
Foil went north, then with fungus on the northeast, went north again.
Mindworm explored south, found a pod, popped it to find a monolith (did not investigate because of the worm's low morale). The Uranium Flats just keep getting sweeter.
Spore launcher and northern scout approached a pod.
Former continued to form.
CP moved to its destination.
Rover went northeast
Founded base #4, set former in build queue
Foil went E, then N
Mindworms healed
Spore launcher popped pod, found artifact! Sending it back to Gaia's Landing.
Northern scout headed back towards base #2, for eventual policing
Current energy reserves: 32
Popped pod with unity rover - found another monolith.
Moved foil north, then east
Moved mindworm north 3
Moved scout patrol north
Moved spore launcher west
Moved artifact west
Moved former north
Rushed former in base #3 as a small optimization - it cost 2 ECs and will give back 1 next turn, which will give us just enough to switch to Planned.
Industrial base in 3, Gaia's Landing grows next turn.
Rover went north, then west. Unity foil went east than back again, to go north perhaps?. No unity pods sighted.
Switched to planned. Base #2 has citizen turned into doctor, just for precaution. SL and AA moved west. New former went SW to build last part of road that connects first three bases (should be fully completed in 2 turns). Base #3 now produces scout patrol. MW went north. Now producing 7 tech per turn and 5 energy per turn. Accumulated 38 of 49 research, so breakthrough in two turns.

Moved unity rover north
Moved foil to pick up rover
Moved mind worm 2 tiles north - found another unity pod
Moved spore launcher in to police base #2
Moved artifact to safe keeping at Gaia's Landing (a possible topic for fiction, and for Hon^H^H^HSnowflake's history)
Rushed CP at Gaia's Landing for all 7 of our ECs
Industrial Base in 1! Next tech should be IndEcon, if possible.
Next turn we will have 7 ECs.
City status:
Gaia's Landing: CP 24/27 + 3/turn, growth in 11
Fallow Time: CP 11/27 + 3/turn, growth in 13
Virgin Soil: Scout 2/9 + 2/turn, growth in 3
Dreams of Green: Scout (placeholder) 1/9 + 3/turn, growth in 6
Moved unity rover onto foil; moved foil SW, W
Attempted to move spore launcher to base #4. Although it failed, it spotted a mindworm 1 tile west of base #4
/me looks at Obstructor...
Moved former back to base #4 as our only possible defense
Moved scout at Gaia's Landing up to base #2 to cover as police (leaving Gaia's Landing temporarily undefended, but surprises could only come from the west)
Moved mindworm along fungus, stopped a bit northeast of base #3
Moved CP to base #5 site
Put formers in build queue for Gaia's Landing (this can still be changed, of course)
Set 2 formers to work on a solar panel to the east of base #2
Finished Industrial Base, started Industrial Economics (10 turns listed)
We had 6 ECs at the start of the turn, and should get 5 more next turn.
MW went west, Unity Foil went west (I think it is a square away from land, so next turn should be interesting), SL went to GL. Former stayed in DoG. Base #5 founded, will finish scout patrol next turn (note -stockpile is not inserted in its queue now, but when I open the turn again to hit end turn I will insert it, almost forgot - everything show that in a couple of turns we won't have to worry about police anymore. Oh, and my computer froze when I hit alt-tab to view the turn orders in IE, so there is a reload warning.

Moved unity foil W, NW.
Disembarked unity rover, found a fungal tower and an adjacent pod on fungus. The odds vs the tower are 50-50, so attacking is a bad idea. Moved the rover back to the foil to safely pop the pod next turn.
Moved former in base #4 north 1 tile, started a road. Temporarily put a former in its queue, and base 5's queue.
Moved mind worm according to the safer, longer path.
Opportunistically hurried the CP in base 2 for 10 minerals, based on previous support for a similar action.
We have 11 ECs at the end of the turn.
Foil went northwest, dropped of rover - rover found a spore launcher and captured it. Foil went east.
Mind worm attempted to go north, found another mind worm, failed to capture, killed, netting 10 ECs and a morale upgrade.
Discovered we have a new scout at base #3, that wasn't discussed in the turn plan. In line with plans to get a garrison at Gaia's Landing to relieve the spore launcher there, moved the independent scout towards Gaia's Landing.
Moved former east of base #2 southeast. Moved the other former north and started a forest.
Moved new CP east, then southeast.
Set formers temporarily in the bases that finished production; every base will be below 10 mins next turn and can be changed with impunity. This will not last.
Current EC total: 31
Turns/tech: 7
Turns until Industrial Economics (IIRC): 5
Found 5 (!) new pods:
Moved mind worm to pod, found a rover.
Moved rover north, found another pod, but couldn't safely pop. Moved northerly again, found yet another pod.
Moved western rover south, found another pod, but couldn't safely pop. Moved south again, found another pod.
Moved spore launcher west, found a river mouth. Attempted to move west again - failed, but the revealed terrain showed yet another pod.
Moved CP to its base site.
Built road to connect base #6.
Moved independent scout to Gaia's Landing; moved the spore launcher there west to explore the possible land bridge in a few turns.
Set bases to build the consensus in the poll; the decision on base #2 can wait a turn or two.
Industrial Economics in 3 turns
38 ECs in reserve, 7/turn (though this will rise with the new base).

Often referred to as "the heart of the city," the Mission District covers the area east of Twin Peaks to the James Lick Freeway, and south of Market Street to Cesar Chavez Street. Because of its geographical configuration that insulates it from the city's fog and wind that affects so many other areas of town, the district's sunny climate makes it a pleasant place in which to live. In recent years, the Mission has become a destination spot for specialty restaurants and shops, as well as having a burgeoning club scene.
Originally built in 1902 at 17th and Treat Streets, the station relocated to 1240 Valencia Street in 1950. A new Mission Station, with triple the square footage of the old station, a community room and special secure holding areas, opened in 1994.

Multiarch isn't that bad -- it requires maintaining twinned repos for the different archs, and I'm sure both rpm and fedora distros do this pretty much transparently for i386 and x86_64 and less so (for no terribly good reason but fewer users) for any of the other archs out there. But multiple compilers -- wow. Never really thought of that one. Maybe I should ask an actual question on the yum list (which, after all, I endure listening to on a daily basis) and see if there are any suggestions for compiler management. What do you do, install particular compilers per system and then need packages to match, or install all the per-compiler packages on all systems and select the one you link to some other way? rgb > >> >> rgb >> > <snip> > > -- Robert G.

Woodall's announces 2010's top-rated campgrounds
More than 300 RV parks and campgrounds have earned the prestigious 5W/5W rating by Woodall's 2010 North American Campground Directory.
The publication uses a special dual-rating system that looks at both the park's facilities and recreation. Each of the 8,000 parks Woodall's rates each year is visited by a company representative and rated on a scale of 1W to 5W, depending on its quality. The system provides RVers and campers with unbiased insight in a format that is easy to use and understand.
The more Ws a park has generally reflects the presence of more development and facilities at the park. For instance, a park with a 5W/5W rating is usually highly developed in terms of its physical grounds, personnel, recreation programs and superior maintenance of the park's facilities.
Top-ranked states for 2010 include Arizona, Florida, California and Texas.
"While all of the parks in the directory are well worth a visit, from those with rustic, natural settings to resort-like RV parks, RVers who enjoy camping comfortably at parks with more than the average amount of amenities rely on the 5W/5W rating to help them find a destination that meets their needs," said Affinity Media's Joe Daquino.

It is now September ,1939....
.....like Donkey Kong !
Here´s a link, with live updates, from the Telegraph, UK:http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/palestinianauthority/9679883/Israeli-airstrikes-on-Gaza-live.html
Prelude to invasion. Up to 30,000 reservists are being called up to go with elite brigades, armor, tanks.
Go Israel! Pound that cesspool flat.There are no civilians in Gaza, they´re all terrorists.
The Palestinians have determined that because of obamas re-election they can walk all over Israel. Big mistake.
(fixing tinfoil hat firmly on head) or did Obama tell his pals in the Muslim Brotherhood to create a little distraction because the Benghazi situation in Congress was getting a little too hot?
Bomb pathways to the beach, send bulldozers in to clear the rubble and then bulldoze the rest of the place into the sea. That amount of rubble will expand the usable land area. The Muslims want to kill all the Jews so it would only be fair for the Jews to kill all the Muslims. Turnabout is fair play. It would look bad politically, but the UN is a worthless POS anyway so ignore it.
Lived in Brooklyn when the 1967 war broke out. Looks like Israel is tired of listening to the occupant of the waffle house and decided to resolve the issues themselves.I think they waited until everyone in the country had a gas mask and survival supplies for a couple of months
Remember the Palestinians were celebrating and dancing in the streets and passing out candy to each other when the NYC towers were destroyed on 9/11. I guess every couple of years they get bored and get destructive against Israel and the IDF has to go in and clean up the mess again.

Critics make some noise
On the eve of R. Kelly's homecoming, TOC's Music staff hashes out his complicated history.
In June 2008, the high-profile indictment of R. Kelly finally ended in his acquittal. The man hardly kept quiet throughout the six-year drama surrounding the child pornography charges against him, releasing a steady barrage of albums; his latest, Untitled, comes out December 1. As the strong showing at Madison Square Garden last month revealed, the trial hasn't made a dent in the Chicago singer's devoted fan base. But is it possible to enjoy the artist's music while ignoring his often lewd behavior? We talked it out in advance of the Pied Piper of R&B's two-night run at the Auditorium.
Areif Sless-Kitain: There are plenty of comparable examples throughout pop history: Michael Jackson, Chris Brown and, more recently, the deceased John Phillips.
Brent DiCrescenzo: Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis…
ASK: The thing about R. Kelly is that he embraces it. This tour is called "Ladies Make Some Noise!"BD: That's the creepiest thing about him: He's totally up front about it. After all the court drama, his comeback song is called "Number One." When you're accused of pissing on someone, you probably shouldn't call it that. It's like Bernie Madoff writing a song called "I Stole Your Money, Bitch!"
ASK: But Kells hasn't experienced anywhere near the backlash that Chris Brown and Michael Jackson experienced.
BD: It's almost like, because he was up for sex-related offenses and his music was already sex-related, it gave him credibility in a weird way. Obviously, he isn't explicitly singing about underage girls, but all his songs are about him being a freak and a pervert. It's different from Chris Brown, who paints himself as a lover boy when in reality he beat his girlfriend.
ASK: Brown's reduced to disguising a downgraded club run as a "Fan Appreciation" tour, while Kelly's added a second night to his homecoming.
BD: Most of Chris Brown's fans are young since he's only been around a few years. Kelly has been around for over 15 years and has die-hard fans. When a controversy happens, like with Michael Jackson, the die-hard fans embrace the artist even more.
ASK: Kelly's ego is like the Energizer Bunny. Nothing keeps the dude down.
BD: I can't listen to R. Kelly anymore—he's so blatantly making music about what he was accused of doing. Phil Spector didn't write an album about killing someone.
ASK: It's important to keep in mind Kelly's rags-to-riches background; he continues to cast himself as the underdog. During that MSG show, he boasted this was his first tour since the charges were dropped. There's this honesty to him that's almost admirable: He's not going to hide behind past mistakes.
BD: There are so many reprehensible people in pop music. If you're going to draw the line, you might as well not listen to it. People are willing to drop Kanye West just because he took a little astronaut from somebody at the MTV Video Music Awards. Everyone is like, "OMG, he's gone too far." Well, he didn't pee on her!
ASK: Race is a huge component in this. If R. Kelly had been accused of peeing on Taylor Swift, people would be up in arms. The fact that Kanye snatched that award from a young white woman makes it this racially charged shitstorm—as demonstrated by the hordes of racists lobbing the N-word around in the aftermath, documented online by "media assassin" Harry Allen.
BD: That R. Kelly keeps making raunchy pop songs is both the smartest and most disgusting aspect of his career. If he were to come out with a ballad saying how sorry he was, people would dismiss him. With Chris Brown, there's obvious damage control. R. Kelly may lose fans along the way, but he isn't going to change for anybody.

Nice In The Headphones: Whispers In The Dark – Supreme Cuts
I wanted to break this post up into two separate parts. Part I being about the album, Part II about finally getting to see these guys live:
Part I: Ever since hearing Supreme Cuts' Trouble EP about a year ago I've been completely infatuated with the sounds this Chicago duo creates. This music encompasses nearly every type of music that I am strongly passionate about at this point in my (career? as a music fan) life and their lush dark, moving, atmospheric and grooving sounds evoke such strong emotions that I absolutely had to include this album in our Nice In The Headphones category.
Listening to this album is a full on sonically emotional experience. It's like someone took Carl Sagan, Pink Floyd, The Flaming Lips (97-06 mostly), Ray Lynch, the essence of Chicago house music and hip hop/r&b and shot them all into the depths of space on a rocket ship together. Beats, bass, atmosphere, melody, space…It's like a damn journey!
I'm still a huge fan of listening to albums in full and this is one of those pieces of art that needs to be listened to all the way through, with full attention.
Part II: Just a few weeks ago I got the honor of finally catching Supreme Cuts live. I hadn't heard much about their live shows but from being such a big supporter I was just excited to hear and see them chop it up in a live setting. On the evening of the official release of Whispers In The Dark the duo made a trip to Brooklyn NY's Glasslands Gallery. Joining them were NYC's Hot Sugar, Chicago's Sich Mang, and Brookyln/Barbados rapper Haleek Maul (who performed with Sup Cuts on the second half of their set AND ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT) The whole night was awesome all around and Supreme Cuts did not disappoint. The sound system at Glasslands was TURNT UP exactly the way it should be to listen to this group. They sounded just as good as their recordings do and I was extremely satisfied that they can pull it off in a live setting.
I know since the release of Whispers, the duo has been catching a lot more hype and attention and me saying "I'm proud" doesn't really amount to much but I definitely am, and am also EXTREMELY excited to what the future holds for these guys. *Look out, August 28th is the release date for their mixtape Chrome Lips with Haleek Maul.*
Check out a few pictures from the show, as well as their dope as glow in the dark vinyl that you can buy HERE.
