great steak – So, I've been to texas de brasil before a couple of times and considering they were packed I decided to give this place a try. I must say I loved it, it was also fine dining like at tdb and same price, overall I liked it as much and it was not as crowded.
Excellent service and excellent food!!! – My husband and I go there at least once a month since we moved to Tampa a couple of years ago!
I'm from Brazil and I can say for sure that we Brazilians love some good steak, and that's what you can find there: The best cuts of meat. Also they have a great variety of salads and side dishes in the buffet, also they keep bringing to the table: mashed potatoes, farofa, fried bananas and the famous cheese bread ( my husband's favorite)
When you go to your table there is a red/green circle that will let the waiter knows if he should bring the skewers with the the different cuts of meat!
The service is different from all the other places you ever went! there is no rush to eat and leave, the waiters keep replacing your plates for clean ones, and replacing the side dishes all the time, the customer service deserves at least 5 stars, if we could we would give more lol
The dinner time is a little more expensive than lunch, but you can go to their website and they will send you coupons all the time!
Paulinho is always waiting to greet you with a smile and ready to provide a great service ;)

TRAVIS COUNTY -- The general manager of The OASIS Restaurant on Lake Travis wanted to clear up some confusing information surfacing Thursday.
Jonathan Silva, said contrary to prior reports, the OASIS is not under foreclosure.
Silva told KVUE that the OASIS has had one of the best years yet.
"The OASIS Restaurant is absolutely not under foreclosure, in fact about four months ago the owner turned over the reins to me the new general manager and the new chef. He's gone a whole new different direction with everything trying to become a little more "Austin-y", a little younger so we're actually having the best year we've ever had," Silva said.
Silva said it's actually the Oasis Texas, a row of shops in front of the OASIS restaurant which are now up for foreclosure.
Court paperwork shows the property owners owe nearly $19 million to the bank.
No one from the Oasis Texas was available to talk to KVUE by the time of the 10 p.m. newscast.

W&M Advances To NCAA Regional Title Game
N.C. State 9, William & Mary 2
RALEIGH, N.C. – After winning a school-record 39 games, which included the program's first-ever NCAA Tournament wins, the William and Mary baseball team fell to seventh-ranked N.C. State, 9-2, on Sunday night in the Raleigh Regional final at Doak Field. The Wolfpack jumped out to a three-run advantage after an inning of play and tacked on three-run innings in the sixth and eighth en route to advancing to next week's Super Regionals. The Green and Gold's magical and historic 2013 campaign came to a close at 39-24 as one of the final 32 teams playing in the NCAA Tournament, while N.C. State improves to 47-14.
On the night against N.C. State, Hissey led the Tribe attack at the plate, going 2-of-4 with a double and a run scored. Seniors Jackson Shaver and Ryan Williams picked up doubles in their final collegiate games, while Shaver drove home his third run of the NCAA Regional. Senior Ryan Brown and sophomore Michael Katz each finished with a hit, and Brown also tallied a run scored.
Senior left-hander Matt Wainman (4-4), who made his first start since March 27, took the loss in 5.1 innings, striking out three, but allowing six runs (five earned) on 10 hits. Junior John Sheehan worked the final 2.2 innings, finishing with one strikeout, while allowing three earned runs on four hits. N.C. State's freshman Brad Stone (3-2) picked up the win in 5.1 innings of scoreless baseball, striking out three and allowing four hits. Senior Grant Sasser came on in the eighth and picked the final five outs to earn his ninth save, while striking out three batters.
N.C. State got off to a fast start on Sunday evening with three runs in the bottom half of the first. Sophomores Trea Turner and Jake Fincher, who were both named to the All-Regional Team, started off the inning with back-to-back singles, before a fielder's choice from sophomore Brett Austin left runners at the corners with one out. Senior Tarran Senay followed with a three-run home run over the right field wall to give the Wolfpack an early cushion.
After N.C. State's Stone retired the first seven Tribe hitters in order, the Green and Gold had chances with runners in scoring position in the third, fourth and sixth innings, but could not push any across the plate. Williams collected the Tribe's first hit of the contest in the third inning as his grounder bounded inside the third-base bag and into the left field corner for a one-out double, but he was stranded at third base.
In the fourth, Katz and Hissey collected singles to put runners at the corner with two outs, but Stone fanned the final Tribe batter of the inning to get out of the jam. Brown singled for W&M to start the sixth and moved up to second base on a wild pitch with no one out, but was left at second base as Ryan Wilkins came out to collect the final two outs of the inning for the Wolfpack.
N.C. State tacked on three insurance runs in the bottom half of the sixth inning as sophomore second baseman Logan Ratledge and Fincher collected run-scoring singles.
The Tribe got on the scoreboard in the seventh inning and closed the gap to 6-1 on a pair of extra base hits. Hissey led off the inning with a double into the right field corner and came around to score on Shaver's slicing double into the left field corner.
In the eighth, the Tribe used a trio of errors from the Wolfpack defense to draw closer. Brown and Katz reached on errors to put runners at first and second with just one out. Junior Ryan Lindemuth's grounder to first base was fielded cleanly by N.C. State's Tarran Senay, but his throw to second base ended up in left field, allowing Brown to come around from second for the Tribe's second run of the contest. N.C. State went to the bullpen again with just one out and two on for W&M, and Sasser responded with a pair of strikeouts to close the eighth inning.
Senay made amends for his errant throw in the bottom of the inning as the Wolfpack added three more runs to put the game out of reach. After a run trotted home on a wild pitch, Senay lined a single to left center field with the bases loaded to drive in a pair and increase the N.C. State lead to the final margin of 9-2. Senay, who was named the Raleigh Regional Most Outstanding Player, finished with five RBI's in the victory over W&M and seven for the tournament.
William & Mary 4, Ole Miss 1
The Tribe will face No. 7-ranked N.C. State, who downed W&M 1-0 on Saturday night, in the Raleigh Regional Final later on this evening at 6 p.m. The Green and Gold will need to defeat the Wolfpack twice to advance to Super Regional play, while N.C. State needs just one win to advance. Fans can follow the action online at TribeAthletics.com with live audio and stats with Kris Sears on the call. Additionally, fans can watch the live broadcast on ESPN3.com.
Senior right-hander Brett Koehler turned in an outstanding complete-game effort, scattering seven hits and surrendering just an unearned run over his 98 pitches. It was his third complete game of the season and the 11th overall for the Tribe pitching staff. Koehler struck out five Rebel batters, while lowering his ERA to 3.77.
Offensively, junior second baseman Ryan Lindemuth led the way, going 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles, two runs scored and an RBI, but it was senior designated hitter Jackson Shaver who came through with the game-winning RBI's on a two-run single. Sophomore Michael Katz doubled and scored, while freshman catcher Ryan Hissey was 2-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI.
The Green and Gold struck first on Sunday afternoon with a run in the opening inning of play. After Koehler retired the Ole Miss side in order, Katz got W&M going with a two-out double to right center field and scored on Lindemuth's double down the left field chalk.
In the top of the fourth, Ole Miss responded by loading the bases with no outs, but could only push across a single tally. Junior Austin Anderson scored from third on a 5-4-3 double play by the Tribe defense after the Sorrento, Fla., native led the inning off with a single to left center field. Koehler worked through the remainder of the jam with a runner on third and two down, inducing a flyout to right field by Ole Miss' Will Jamison.
W&M countered in the bottom half with two runs as it created a 3-1 advantage. Lindemuth and Hissey reached on a hit-by-pitch and single to right, respectively, before freshman Jonathan Sarty advanced both runners into scoring position with a sacrifice bunt. Shaver delivered the key hit, lining one through the middle of the infield to bring around Lindemuth and Hissey for the Tribe's second and third runs of the afternoon.
The Tribe tacked on an insurance run in the sixth as it pushed the margin to 4-1. Lindemuth led the inning off with a double down the left field line and scored on Hissey's RBI single to right field.
From there it was all Koehler as the Tribe right-hander retired 11 of the final 12 batters he faced with the lone hit over the stretch being erased on a 4-6-3 double play in the eighth inning. The Rebels went down in order in the ninth as Koehler struck out All-SEC first team catcher Stuart Turner swinging, before senior shortstop Ryan Williams made a nice defensive play, fielding a ground ball on the right side of second base and throwing out Andrew Mistone for the final out of the contest.
Florida Atlantic 6, Towson 5
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – A run-scoring double by senior leftfielder Cory Keller with two outs in the top of the ninth inning enabled No. 23 Florida Atlantic (41-21) to pull out a 6-5 victory over the Tigers (30-30) in an elimination game at the NCAA Chapel Hill Regional at Boshamer Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
With the win, the Owls avenged a 7-2 loss to Towson in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament on Friday. Florida Atlantic advanced to the championship round of the Chapel Hill Regional where the Owls were scheduled to face No. 1 North Carolina on Sunday evening.
With the score tied at 5-5 in the top of the ninth inning, junior leftfielder Geoff Jiminez led off by reaching base when he was hit by a pitch from junior righthander Nik Nowottnick, the first base runner allowed by the Tiger relief pitcher in his third inning of work. With senior first baseman Mark Nelson at bat, Jiminez stole second base to give the Owls the go-ahead run in scoring position. When Nelson was retired on a fly ball to centerfield, Jiminez tagged up and advanced to third base. With junior designated hitter Tyler Rocklein coming to the plate, the Tigers elected to play the infield in as they tried to cut off a run at the plate.
The strategy worked well when Rocklein hit a line drive at junior second baseman Pat Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald caught the ball initially but it fell out of his glove. With Jiminez remaining at third base, Fitzgerald retired Rocklein for the second out. With two outs and the go-ahead run at third base, the Tigers elected to issue an intentional walk to freshman second baseman Brendon Sanger, the Owls' leading hitter. That put runners at the corners for Keller. He drove Nowottnick's first pitch off the left field fence for a double, scoring Jiminez and putting runners on second and third. With the Owls leading by 6-5, junior catcher Levi Meyer made a strong bid for a home run. But sophomore leftfielder Peter Bowles went back to the fence, jumped up and caught the ball to end the inning.
In the bottom of the ninth, senior righthander Hugh Adams retired Fitzgerald on a fly ball to centerfield. After junior designated hitter Kurt Wertz struck out, he issued a walk to Bowles. That brought junior rightfielder Dominic Fratantuono to the plate. On a 3-2 pitch, it looked like Fratantuono had drawn a walk but third base umpire John Bullock ruled that Fratantuono swung at the pitch, ending the game in controversial fashion.
"I had no problem with that call," admitted Coach Mike Gottlieb. "He had a good angle and it was a fair call.
"Not to take anything away from Florida Atlantic, but somebody once told me that you don't win one-run games as often as the other team loses them," he added. "We made too many mistakes to win a one-run game in an NCAA regional tournament. The mistakes that we made on the base paths really hurt us. They took us out of several innings. Branch Rickey used to call them 'mistakes of enthusiasm' and that sounds right to me."
Explaining his decision to walk Sanger intentionally, Gottlieb said, "We were playing the percentages. Sanger is a left-handed hitter who had a batting average about 100 points higher than Keller. By pitching to Keller, we had a righthanded pitcher facing a righthanded hitter. But, it didn't work and Keller hit a shot. We took a chance and it didn't work out."
The game started out as if it would be an offensive slugfest as the Tigers took a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning. Third baseman Zach Fisher and Fitzgerald started the inning with back-to-back singles. After Wertz struck out, Bowles singled to left, loading the bases. When senior righthander Jake Meiers of FAU walked Fratantuono with the bases loaded, Fisher scored the first run of the game. The Tigers extended their lead to 3-0 when sophomore first baseman Brendan Butler lined a two-run single to centerfield. However, Meiers escaped the jam when senior catcher Andrew Parker grounded into an inning-ending double play.
Elon 6, UNCW 4
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Virginia – Elon's Alex Swim's two-run single in the bottom of the eighth broke a 4-all deadlock as the Phoenix eliminated UNCW with a 6-4 win on Sunday at the NCAA Charlottesville Regional at Davenport Stadium.
The Phoenix (34-29) advanced to the 6 p.m. game where they'll take on top-seeded Virginia. The Seahawks concluded their season with a 38-23 mark.
Elon reliever Ryan Pennell (3-2) picked up the win after shutting out the Seahawks on a hit and a walk in two innings out of the bullpen.
Justin Livengood (1-3) was saddled with the loss, allowing two runs on two hits and only facing two batters.
Casey Jones held game-high honors with three hits as the Phoenix outhit the Seahawks, 14-9.
Luke Dunlap and Ryan LaGrange had two hits apiece for UNCW while Terence Connelly knocked in two runs on a single and hit by pitch late in the game.
How it happened: Christian MacDonald allowed a leadoff single in the eighth, but erased that runner with a double play. He walked the following and pinch runner Blaine Bower stole second to move into scoring position. Livengood came on and Chris Bresnahan singled through the leftside to plate Bower with the tying run. Quinn Bower followed with a single and both runners moved up on a wild pitch. Swim followed with a single to center off UNCW reliever Kelly Secrest to provide the winning margin.
Inside the numbers: The Seahawks advanced runners in 12-of-19 opportunities, but went 2-for-11 with RISP … Elon collected five hits in 11 at bats with two out and plated three two-out RBI's … UNCW starter Blaze Tart and MacDonald combined for 14 ground ball outs … Both teams combined for just three strikeouts on the game.

Described by The Times Herald-Record, New York, as a "firm bass- baritone", and by The Boston Musical Intelligencer as "outstanding dramatically and musically", I am a classical singer with international credits, at home in diverse genres from opera to art song, Broadway to The American Songbook, spirituals to jazz and pop. I am also a professional drummer, pianist and instructor. I enjoy teaching, and view it as making music together in a class setting. Lessons are both disciplined and fun.
Recent highlights include the roles of The Master and Yefim in the U.S.-premiere of the opera "Desire to Sleep" by Moshe Shulman; the narrator in the world-premiere of "Experience" in English by Phivos-Angelos Kollias; world-premieres of "Missa Patri Pio" and "Canzoni Dantesche" by Leonardo Ciampa; the role of Jewish Man in the world-premiere of the opera "The Prioress's Tale" by Delvyn Case; The Omaggio al Bel Canto Best Interpretation Award at The Stelle dell'Anno Nuovo Festival in Boston, aired by Italy's RAI International TV; official recognition by The Massachusetts State Senate and Thomas Menino; a Bandwidth TV feature program aired on CCTV; and a performance as Emile de Becque with solos from "South Pacific" by Rodgers & Hammerstein at the historic USS Salem in the first-ever maritime festival of Quincy, Massachusetts.
"When you think of opera, the word modern doesn't usually follow. Bulent G... is changing the way we think about this centuries-old art form. G. is anything but a stereotypical opera singer... He isn't merely an opera singer, but a well-rounded musician. He has performed Broadway pieces, jazz solos, spirituals, and even contemporary pop songs, which he says inform his interpretation of even the most classical roles in opera. This approach to opera may be what draws crowds who aren't as familiar with the genre... This opera singer, who says his favorite music ranges from that of the heavy metal 80s band Cacophony to jazz pianist Chick Corea, shows that opera singers may not be what you think, and his audiences are surprisingly diverse as well..."
- Chelsea Whyte, The Somerville News

I believe every singing or speaking voice can benefit from a foundation in classical vocal technique. Whether you prefer to learn through singing songs or through various exercises, I can customize our lesson plan to fit your needs. Therefore, I provide a fun and engaging lesson atmosphere, but you need to bring your best as well! We will both be happier with the process if we are equally invested in your growth. We will start with something you already know (an aria, vocal exercise, or excerpt from a song) and work toward singing in your preferred vocal style. For example, classical singers will build their knowledge of English, German, Italian, and French diction and song styles. Additionally, I will always respect and include my student's musical interests.
Along the way, I am happy to address basic music theory ideas. If you prefer, we can also spend additional time reviewing and learning those principles to enrich your musical experience. I will always provide different exercises and ideas to keep your brain active in the singing process.
I believe in whole body, whole spirit singing. As a performer, I employ a variety of holistic exercises and theories to develop my own voice, such as basic Alexander Technique principles, voice therapy techniques, a variety of pedagogical palates, and energy work. If these sorts of things interest you, I am more than happy to incorporate them into our lessons. My personal results with those practices have been incredible, so I am always eager to share.
My personality is outgoing and energetic, so I bring that sort of atmosphere to a lesson. I expect preparedness and readiness on your part to maximize our work together. My greatest desire in teaching is to see you grow! So, if a challenging, yet comforting, work environment sounds like something you would like to try, consider scheduling a trial lesson with me. I am always happy to hear from new students!

Alan MacKay wore a sweatshirt to the vigil for his son, slain San Bernardino County sheriff's Detective Jeremiah MacKay, that bears the family crest: a fist holding a dagger, encircled by a Scottish belt with a buckle.
In the circle are the words "Manu Forti," which mean "strong fist," Alan MacKay said Tuesday night, Feb. 19, at Yucaipa Community Park.
"Just about anything he did, he did with full force," MacKay said. "He had incredible interest when he took something on."
That included joining his father on a hike up to the top of San Gorgonio Peak -- when Jeremiah was 4.
Jeremiah MacKay, 35, of Redlands, made his last trip into the mountains on Feb. 12, when he was shot to death by fugitive homicide suspect Christopher Dorner in a gun battle in the San Bernardino Mountains community of Seven Oaks that also critically wounded Deputy Alex Collins. Dorner would die later that evening in a fiery siege with law enforcement.
On Tuesday, several hundred mourners gathered outside a gazebo at the Yucaipa park, standing in a hard, cold rain as speakers addressed them from within the shelter. Few candles appeared to be snuffed out by the rain, however.
"Even amid this storm, we are looking for a rainbow," said Douglas Duke, a Sheriff's Department chaplain.
Duke confided after the 26-minute ceremony that MacKay's widow, Lynette, had said on the ride over to the park that they were married in the rain in San Bernardino two years ago.
"She told me Jeremiah would have dug this," said Duke, who added that MacKay always called him "Preacher man."
Mourners included Sheriff John McMahon and deputies such as Tony Romero, who worked alongside MacKay at the Yucaipa station.
"MacKay is not only a partner but also a brother. Being here is a lot more than showing up. It's what we do," Romero said.
Speakers included MacKay's commander at the Yucaipa station where MacKay, a 15-year veteran of the force, served the past two years.
"He was a hero. ... He never ran from anything. He was always moving forward," Capt. Lee Hamblin said.
Yucaipa Mayor Denise Hoyt urged the public to tell law-enforcement officers how much they are appreciated. MacKay died hunting a fugitive who was hunting and killing officers, including Riverside's Michael Crain.
A bugler played taps, and bagpipers — MacKay played that instrument at funerals for police — performed in his honor.
"This whole ordeal has been overwhelming," Alan MacKay told the mourners. "But the support is just incredible. It does lift our spirits and reminds me that Jeremiah wanted to make a difference."

WHEN: 11 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 21
WHERE: San Manuel Amphitheater, 2575 Glen Helen Parkway, Devore
OPEN TO: "All who wish to attend and honor a fallen hero," the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department said.

5025 Harding Pike, Nashville, TN | Directions 3720536.106503 -86.867288
Neighborhoods: Belle Meade Links
Loved it! – We took our staff there for lunch and we all loved our individual orders. They all ordered the Green Tomato BLT, I ordered the shrimp and grits, and my husband ordered the fried chicken. We all sampled a little of everything and it was great. We were seated quickly and served quickly. I highly recommend the fruit tea! We look forward to dining there again soon.
Pretty good! – Good food... decent service... will definitely keep going back. My favorite dessert is the chocolate fudge pie.
Nothing fake about it – My cousin actually owns this restaurant. Martha let my friend and I do an internship for our school at her restaurant a couple years ago. We got to work on the floor, and in the kitchen. Martha actually helps make most of the food and the staff is almost like a family there. She never heats up frozen food to serve to her guest. She and her staff make everything from scratch, very carefully. The fudge pie is to die for and if you have picky children (like I was) that chicken fingers are AMAZING!
Perfect! – From the pickiest eater to any gourmet fan there is really something here for everyone. We took my grandmother here for her birthday and it was simply perfect! The service was so friendly. They even offered to cover the vent by our table and brought our to go box to us after we forgot it. The food was so fresh and so tasty. It was such a nice elegant lunch. And the price was very affordable for such a nice place. Everyone was impressed. I am sure that we will be back.
Absolutely Super. – In a world of big corporate chain restaurants of nothing but frozen, pre-packaged, microwaved and assebly-line prepared food , MARTHA'S is a huge breath of fresh air!!
This restaurants remind me of my trips to Italy. Not that Martha's is Itailian food but you can taste the love, freshness and pride that goes into every dish. Her name is at stake on every meal.
Each meal is very creative too ( crawfish cakes with black bean relish ) using nothing but fresh ingredients. I wish they would be open for dinner but that is probably makes it so good - they do not have to be!!
Martha Stamps' stylish Southern tearoom in Belle Meade Plantation isn't just for ladies and tourists. – In Short
The quiet, less-is-more dining room is the perfect backdrop for the colorful, stylish food. Stamps does Southern tearoom fare with a twist, changing the menu seasonally. Popular spring and summer dishes include the chicken and tuna salads, and a fun variation of "pamina" cheese with olives. Those with heartier appetites go for the perfectly fried catfish sandwich and regional specialties like chicken croquettes and crawfish cakes.
Don't Miss this Belle Meade Treasure – There is no better place for a spectacular lunch or Sunday brunch than Martha's. It's also open for dinner...I had the lamb with Peach BBQ sauce and garlic mashed potatoes...to die for! I've also gone for Sunday brunch and loved the french toast. It's dessert and breakfast all in one!
Simply Marvelous – I discovered this restaurant while on vacation. I absolutely loved this restaurant. If you enjoy restaurants attached museums, etc, you'll really enjoy this one.
The food was fantastic, as was the Tea Punch. The waiters and waitresses were very friendly. I loved the place so much that I went back three days later for brunch. The only slightly (and I emphasize slightly) negative was that the food choices were a little more limited than I would have liked.
I'm coming back to Nashville in October. You know where I'll be eating!

Juventus have warned Real Madrid against making a bid for midfielder Arturo Vidal.
GettyImagesArturo Vidal has done well in Turin
Vidal, 24, has been a key part of Juve's success this season having signed from Bayer Leverkusen for €10.5 million last summer, and Madrid are said to have approached the player's agent, Fernando Felicevich, to enquire about his availability.
However, Juventus director general Beppe Marotta has insisted that they have no intention of allowing the Chile international to depart.
"I made it clear to Felicevich, and indirectly to Real, that Vidal is not for sale," Marotta said in Tuttosport. "Vidal isn't available for transfer and it has nothing to do with his fee. The simple truth is that Vidal is one of the pillars at Juventus for today and tomorrow."

Better Day Coming
Blacks and Equality, 1890-2000
Adam Fairclough - Author
- eBook - ePub eBook: $12.99
From the end of postwar Reconstruction in the South to an analysis of the rise and fall of Black Power, acclaimed historian Adam Fairclough presents a straightforward synthesis of the century-long struggle of black Americans to achieve civil rights and equality in the United States. Beginning with Ida B. Wells and the campaign against lynching in the 1890s, Fairclough chronicles the tradition of protest that led to the formation of the NAACP, Booker T. Washington and the strategy of accommodation, Marcus Garvey and the push for black nationalism, through to Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and beyond. Throughout, Fairclough presents a judicious interpretation of historical events that balances the achievements of the Civil Rights Movement against the persistence of racial and economic inequalities.

Life is circular, and death isn't as inevitable as some would think. If you're a prince or a princess, that is.
The Prince has morphed into a comic book character, and that's not just by virtue of his new-fangled graphic-novel art style. Removing itself from the often droll conversational blocks of Assassin's Creed (same production team, slightly modified game engine), the Prince of Persia's Prince rolls with a cynical "See, I told you so" rhetoric that on-again/off-again crowns him with a boyish charm. Thankfully that boyish charm never degrades into outright childishness.
Further contributing to the graphic-novel quality of the Prince's adventure are the fantastical (and fantastic) watercolor backdrops. Frozen and uncaring when color-drained, breezy and warm when revitalized, the City of Light endlessly conjures its namesake in the green grasses, balletic butterflies, and margarine-colored sands that cup the different districts of the city.
But all is not well. We find the Prince is plodding through a sandstorm in the desert, hollering for his missing and purportedly treasure-laden donkey. Along comes Elika, a comely, acrobatic princess with a duty-bound head on her shoulders and an aim to pay for the sins of her father. Through a singular discordant flashback, we learn that a dark bargain has been struck with an even darker god, and a painful price has already been paid.
The Prince, who is merely "a single grain of sand" blown about by winds of fate, has alighted next to Elika's familial tragedy: A father in mourning over his long-dead queen, an entire city abandoned due to the king's neglect, and Elika caught in the empty space between. Partially due to Elika's stunning good looks, and partially due to the Prince not having anything better to do, the Prince takes up Elika's banner to restore the City of Light to its former glory. Though it may be entirely too late.
A temple to a dying faith has been handed over to the dark god, and corruption has opened up like an oily, black umbrella over the city. The Prince, accompanied by the stalwart Elika, sets about the task of rejuvenating numerous fertile grounds. While the world lies (mostly) open and (somewhat) bare for exploration, certain numbers of "light seeds" must be collected after the defeat of stage bosses.
With Elika in tow, the Prince runs, wall-runs, jumps, double-jumps, shimmies, slides, and vine-climbs his way about the painterly cityscape. The camera maintains flawless control of the situation, effortlessly telegraphing the Prince's next move. And when strung together, the Prince's moves add up to patiently-pressed strands of QTEs (quick time events). Except instead of waiting for a random button to queue up onscreen, the nature of the environment dictates which button press is required next. It's completely contrary to button mashing—which tosses the Prince over a cliff rather quickly—and requires a steady hand.
If your steady hand fails you, Elika is there to save the day. Not only does she chime in with magical combo attacks and burgeoning but unrealized romantic chemistry, she serves as a Continue Button and Reload Screen all in one. Many of the reviews you've read about this game simply chalk this convention up as: You never die. Which is entirely true, but misses a much larger point summed up in this question: How fun is it to fall and die?
Mirror's Edge players may feel conflicted when trying to answer that. Is it fun to fall and die? No, of course not. Is it fun to finally succeed after falling and dying so many times before? Absolutely. So what happens when a game like Prince of Persia swings along and makes falling and dying (i.e., losing) an invisible process? What happens when you "fail" a jump, but are seamlessly restored to the last level platform you stood on?
What you have then is a standardized cover-to-cover novel as opposed to a choose your own adventure book.
While choose your own adventure books are devastatingly few and far between, video games are 100% predicated on those books' rules. You can make incorrect decisions in a choose your own adventure book. Often you can die from those mistakes. Likewise, a typical video game has dozens of ways to die in any number of scenarios.
But what if Elika needs the Prince alive? What if Elika can't complete her mission without the Prince's aid? What if she reaches out her hand and flawlessly snatches the Prince from the jaws of death, no matter how difficult the circumstances, each and every time? Then, yes, you have that standardized cover-to-cover novel. In a novel (with incredibly few exceptions), the protagonist doesn't die a thousand times over before slaying the dragon and saving the princess. Coming back from the dead is a fantastical option, sure, but even if Jesus Christ saw you fall off that Mirror's Edge building for the fifteenth time, He might grow weary of the resurrection game and probably start shopping around for a more competent apostle.
So yes, there is a "fail state" in Prince of Persia, but it's so quick and easy to recover from that it sometimes feels like you rarely fail at all. This accomplishes two things: First, it softens the jagged edge of failure that is the number one cause of broken controllers. Second, it clips the highs and the lows of victory and defeat, effectively shaving the gaming experience down to a plateau. It's a good plateau, but a plateau nonetheless.

I read the recent letter to the editor about signs being stolen from people's yards. I could not agree more that this should not be happening. However, I have talked to a number of people in our community that have reported to me that political signs were placed in their yards without their permission. This should not be happening.
Every politician should ask permission from the person living at the property if they want a sign in their yard. For the last several months we have found out that many of the signs that have been taken down were put up without the individuals consent in the first place. Going back to the comment on freedom of speech, yes, according to the bill of rights, each individual has the freedom of expression, but with this freedom also comes consent.
Nothing should be placed on private property without the consent of those whom the property belongs to. This is not a partisan issue. It is issue of property and freedom of expression. The "stealing" of signs is a despicable act but far more so is the act that certain individuals are engaging in, by infringing upon the rights of other at their personal gain. This is being done so by placing signs without authorization, on private property. This is an act that will not be tolerated and needs the immediate attention of all in the community.

The Met: Live in HD Comes to the Clark with the Classic Tosca
For Immediate Release
October 23, 2013
WILLIAMSTOWN, MA—Tosca, the famed opera that includes some of Puccini's most beloved arias, airs live from The Metropolitan Opera at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute on Saturday, November 9 at 12:55 pm. Tickets are $25 ($22 members, $18 students) and can be ordered online at clarkart.edu or by calling 413 458 0524.
The timeless verismo score is well served by an exceptional cast, led by Patricia Racette in the title role of the jealous diva, opposite Roberto Alagna as her lover, Cavaradossi. George Gagnidze is the villainous Scarpia.
Tosca premiered in Rome on January 14, 1900. Twenty performances followed, all before packed audiences. While some critics dismissed the opera as a confusing melodrama—including Joseph Kerman, who famously called it a "shabby little shocker" in the 1950s—its powerful score and original orchestration have been widely acknowledged, and it remains one of the most popular operas performed today.
Approximate running time is 215 minutes. Due to the construction activity and limited parking at the Clark, visitors should plan to arrive twenty minutes before the performance.
About the Clark
Set amidst 140 acres in the Berkshires, the Clark is one of the few major art museums that also serves as a leading international center for research and scholarship. The Clark presents public and education programs and organizes groundbreaking exhibitions that advance new scholarship. The Clark's research and academic programs include an international fellowship program and conferences. Together with Williams College, the Clark sponsors one of the nation's leading master's programs in art history.
The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts. Stone Hill Center galleries are open; admission is free. For more information, visit clarkart.edu or call 413 458 2303.

'Raiders of the Lost Ark' Headed for IMAX Re-Release: 5 Reasons This Is Great News

That's a Big Boulder, Indy: Steven Spielberg on the IMAX Rerelease of 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'
By Dave Itzkoff auf August 14, 2012
It's the kind of revelation that would melt the face of any die-hard Indiana Jones fan (this time, with joy): "Raiders of the Lost Ark," the 1981 adventure film that introduced that globe-trotting archaeologist, will receive a one-week Imax release next month, Lucasfilm said on Tuesday. "For me, it's always been the bigger the screen, the better," Steven Spielberg, who directed "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and the three subsequent "Indiana Jones" sequels, said Tuesday in a telephone interview. "It's the only marked contrast we have to the generations that are seeing our movies on phones and hand-held platforms. It's a complete relief to be able to see a film... Lesen Sie mehr

How IMAX Became the Hottest Brand in Movies
By Brent Lang auf August 05, 2012
In a summer where Hollywood has fielded nearly as many high-priced flops as blockbuster behemoths, one sector of the movie business has remained remarkably consistent – IMAX. Audiences, particularly fanboys, have remained intensely loyal to its mammoth 70mm screens at a time when theatrical attendance domestically has declined. Overall, IMAX, which has struggled in the past with the seasonal ups and downs of the movie business has been a more consistent performer. In the most recent quarter IMAX posted revenue growth of 22.7 percent. That outpaces the industry average of 13.4 percent. Profits increased six-fold to $11.1 million. And even while the...

How are demands for drive power changing?
Still, spin-up power remains an important issue. It's possible to spin down numerous drives and save substantial running power, but spinning up a large number of drives simultaneously can produce a significant surge in power demands. Frequent starts and stops may also have an adverse effect on long-term drive reliability. Consequently, a trend is to use multiple power modes on disk drives to vary performance and power consumption while prolonging disk drive use.
Go back to the beginning of the Disk Hardware FAQ Guide.
