April 03, 2014
March 21 – April 19
Change, change, and more change! How much can you take? One thing's for sure, you could be put through your paces this week. All things considered, you might welcome a radical decision that helps liberate you from too much routine. Yet you need those daily tasks and responsibilities to keep you grounded and solvent. Just as you feel you're about to reach the breaking point, Venus moves into Pisces to act as a balm to the soul, drawing out answers from your intuitive sixth sense.
May 21 - Jun 20
Maybe you should pay attention to any restless feelings within. Subterranean rumblings within your psyche suggest that something might be about to happen. If a key relationship seems to reach a critical point this week, you might need to scramble for answers. Perhaps you're trying to avoid the obvious here. The cosmos hints that it's no longer possible for things to go on as they are. This doesn't mean it's the end - just the end of routines and conversations that no longer serve you.
The kind of people you're mixing with lately could be partly responsible for your thoughts. Some of them could seem quite wild and wacky and act as a catalyst for further developments. You may be questioning your values and all that you hold dear at this critical time. If you feel you're being held back by inherited beliefs, you'll be willing to relinquish them for something more liberating. However, no matter how urgent the matter, try not to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Jun 21 - Jul 22
Future potential and career status could seem to be on shaky ground. Perhaps you've already experienced unexpected changes in this area and gotten used to a job or contract being around one day and gone the next. A desire to take matters into your own hands could spur you on to greater things. Perhaps you're fed up with dancing to someone else's tune and would like to set off alone. That's not a problem if you're willing to do it in baby steps!
Jul 23 - Aug 22
Those expansive horizons seem to be calling out to you more than ever. You can almost hear the rustle of the wind and feel the ground rising up to meet you as you explore new places and potentials. The week ahead has "change" as its watchword. Although you might want to hurry things along so you can celebrate your liberty, it might not be as easy as you think. For now you'll still need to touch base with tasks and responsibilities that could seem tedious. Perhaps you can create a workable compromise.
Aug 23 - Sep 22
Perhaps just the idea of getting a loan or refinancing a project will give you all you need to forge ahead. While this may be true, you might need to tread with care. You could overextend yourself and suffer further down the line. What might be more helpful is looking at ways to reduce your expenses by researching your options. The more innovative you can be, the less likely you'll need to borrow, which might instantly relieve some anxiety and the associated stress.
Sep 23 - Oct 22
Relationships could be a disruptive force in your life, and you could be tiring of them. Mars retrograde in your sign could make you appear feistier and less compromising, which could be a good thing. If you're tired of having someone's unthinking actions wreck your best-laid plans, step up to the plate and have that conversation. It could be the best thing you do this week. You'll realize why this was so necessary when Venus enters Pisces on Saturday.
Oct 23 - Nov 21
Daily deep relaxation may help keep your nervous system in good working order. The current lineup hints that the less you worry, the better your health and overall mood. Immersing yourself in routines that actively help you release tension from vulnerable body areas could free you up to have a great week. Daily cardio exercise that helps you pound the stress out of your system may be another way to feel good and keep smiling.
Nov 22 - Dec 21
Love and creativity can serve an interesting purpose this week. A brilliant idea or budding romance could take you outside your comfort zone just enough to sharpen you up. If you've been feeling complacent lately, this shot of adrenaline might prepare the way for exciting changes. However, you'll still need to stay in touch with your responsibilities and routines, as these can enhance your integrity and inner strength. Later, the presence of Venus in your home zone could bring you an aura of pea
Dec 22 - Jan 19
This is one week when you may benefit from having a backup plan. You might find it hard to avoid interruptions that seem to take the wind out of your sails. Although there may be nothing you can do about this, having deadlines, meetings, and everyday practical activities to attend to can help you feel grounded amid the winds of change. You may appreciate the support of good friends you can chat to about anything. Doing so could bring a great sense of relief.
Jan 20 - Feb 18
Even though you may be hoping for a quiet week, you might not get it. Powerful aspect patterns could escalate tension, leaving you with the feeling that you "have" to do something. The need to find out exactly what it is could make you antsy or nervous. To avoid this it might help to practice some kind of calming and relaxing meditation. Releasing those inner stresses and strains may be crucial to helping you make the right decisions, including the ones that are best for you!
Feb 19 - Mar 20
This may be a week of decisions, especially where finances are concerned. Perhaps you can no longer escape the need to take timely action where an overdue bill, debt, or a lack of funds is concerned. The thing to avoid is making things worse by spending and hoping you'll feel better. Your best course of action may be to get a plan together that enables you take care of immediate issues and eases any stress you feel. You might find it easier to make peace with yourself when Venus glides into your sign.

Ray Lewis' redemption: Column
The Ravens' entire team, from coaches on down to players, embraces the reborn linebacker.
While much of the world is focused on what one newspaper has called "sibling revelry" at this year's Super Bowl, of more interest is what will be happening on the field, especially in the workings of Ray Lewis' mind in his final game of a hall-of-fame career. The fact that two brothers are coaching each of the participants in this year's game is a remarkable story. But the ongoing redemption of Ray Lewis – and the hypnotic trance he creates for himself and his teammates -- may be even more remarkable.
Lewis, a linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens, began his efforts at salvation during the 2000 season after having been implicated in two murders in Atlanta in the early morning hours of January 31, 2000, shortly after that year's Super Bowl. Later the charges were dropped. and Lewis was sentenced to one-year's probation and then fined $250,000 by the NFL.
The following year, in training camp, one of the older leaders of the Ravens, Shannon Sharpe, took Lewis aside and told him that the only way to redeem himself was to perform in an extraordinary fashion on the field -- to hope that people might forgive and forget what happened months earlier after seeing his achievements on the field.
Lewis proceeded to have one of the greatest seasons as a linebacker in the history of professional football. He was all over the field - making tackles, intercepting passes, and recovering fumbles. His season culminated in a blow-out victory over the New York Giants in Super Bowl XXXV, 34-7.
How did Lewis and his team achieve such heights? The same question was asked by Leo Tolstoy in his epilogue to "War and Peace," in looking at how some armies, even undermanned ones, still achieve victory.
The answer may come from Franz Anton Mesmer. Mesmer was the Google of the 18th century, one of the first names or nouns that became a verb. Just as we might google in the 21st century, people in 18th century Europe became mesmerized. In 1779 in his Dissertation on the Discovery of Animal Magnetism, Mesmer hypothesized that human beings were endowed with a special magnetic fluid, a kind of sixth sense, which when liberated could produce near-miraculous effects, healing and otherwise. Until controversy and charges of quackery curtailed his career, Mesmer claimed to have magnetized and cured hundreds of patients.
Had Mesmer been able to see something, this magnetic fluid, that none of the rest of us have been able to see? No one knows. We have all seen the following phenomenon, however: a force that allows an athletic team to be beautifully synchronized so that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, so that the team can achieve more than anyone could have expected.
With hypnosis the hypnotic suggestion is more valuable than the trance itself. The key to Lewis' success is not just his talent but the profound suggestion offered by Shannon Sharpe at a time when, we may assume, Lewis was most vulnerable, open and suggestible.
Now at the end of his career -- Lewis has announced he will retire after this Super Bowl -- Lewis has passed on a hypnotic state to his teammates. His working himself into an epic hypnotic trance before each game is a thing to behold. His passing on his wisdom and his calm – and at the same time, aggressive – confidence to his younger colleagues is likewise a thing to behold.
The Ravens entire team, from coaches on down to players, seemingly has bought into Lewis' redemption. "Don't make the same mistakes I've made," he often points out. His teammates, many of whom like Michael Oher (of The Blind Side fame) come from deprived backgrounds, have taken his message to heart. This is not just a game, Lewis suggests. No, this is your whole life and your own redemption and salvation at stake.
Too much pressure to bear? Perhaps. But every college coach in any sport knows that senior leadership, not just talent, is vital for any post-season success. Lewis epitomizes that senior leadership.
He also epitomizes one of the most peculiar paradoxes of life: Evil deeds and good works are inextricably intertwined. Efforts at redemption may not undo harms done; but their power is enough to make any latter-day Mesmer -- and football fans this coming Sunday – take notice.

text: Lucifer in the body of Purnam Kadra is the first to rise not wanting to do anything to give his masters second thoughts about this gift they had given him. Mustering the will and energy is hard after the painful journey here, but he does his best not to show it. He was wearing an outfit made from strips of fine diaphanous cloth strung between metal rings at the joints of the body. His entire body was covered but still visible through the cloth except for the groin which was covered in embroidery for decency. His feet were covered by scrimshaw clogs depicting mermaids and sailors enjoying the affections of one another. He quickly begins playing with his hands loving the novelty of it. It was the first time in his entire existence he had had bones nevermind fingers. A wide smile spreads across his face as he thinks, "Such a lovely body. Magnificent bone structure, silky skin, I could definitely get used to this." He resisted the urge to explore its wonders further while his master's watch dog was here lest they feel that his enjoyment of the body might distract him from his task. He looked at the other people there imagining what kind of undead they would be best used to make and how well they would serve their function. It was an old habit that died hard.

The Midsummer Fire Festival will run from Thursday, June 21 to Wednesday, July 4 this year. (This year, OverAchiever gives you an effective week's notice on the holiday.) While there aren't actually a lot of achievements associated with the Festival -- the meta awards the Flame Warden title to Alliance players and Flame Keeper title to Horde players but consists of only six achievements -- three of them require you to put in some serious travel time, and one also requires a set of dangerous trips to enemy capitals.
If you're starting from scratch, this is definitely one of the more work-intensive holidays you'll have to clear for What A Long, Strange Trip It's Been. However, the one really good thing about all the work ahead of you is that even if you're starting from scratch, you can afford to get all the rewards from holiday vendors if you're diligent about hitting all the fires, quests, and dailies.
As far as we're aware, there have been no major changes to the holiday apart from the addition of achievements for Northrend and Cataclysm fires, but as always, I'll be around to update and add to the guide in the event that Blizzard springs something new on us. If Blizzard's also added fires to Pandaria on the beta, we'll have a head start on next year's holiday as well.
EDIT: I had a few inaccurate fires that I thought I'd fixed up last year. My apologies, folks -- I've visited them all again this year and made sure the coordinates are accurate as of Cataclysm. I've also rearranged the guides in a rough north-to-south direction to make it easier for anyone who's covering the continents. I hope that helps!

Today, The Music of 'Nashville' original soundtrack is released, but there's a good chance you already own the two songs it features performed by British actor Sam Palladio (Gunnar) and Aussie actress Clare Bowen (Scarlett) — their duets in the season premiere ("If I Didn't Know Better") and midseason finale ("When the Right One Comes Along"). Below, Palladio takes us behind the music of the five Gunnar/Scarlett songs heard in the first half of season 1. For more stories behind this year's top TV and movie moments, click here for EW.com's Best of 2012 (Behind the Scenes) coverage.
As told by: Sam Palladio
"If I Didn't Know About Better," written by John Paul White and Arum Rae: Speaking to Callie Khouri, the writer, and R.J. Cutler, our executive producer and director of the first two episodes, I believe the story goes that they were at the real-life Bluebird Cafe one night [with fellow exec producer Steve Buchanan]. They'd been spending weeks trying to find the song that would close the pilot and sum up all the emotions and leave the audience with something slightly unexpected from what was billed as very much a country music show. Callie got an email from John Paul White, who's one half of the fantastic Civil Wars, with suggestions. This song, "If I Didn't Know Better," was on the list. They started listening to these songs on the way back from the Bluebird that night, and the second it came on and they listened to the sentiment of it — the struggle and the sexiness of it — they were like, that's the song. Straight away, they knew. So it was a struggle to find the song, and then I think it was a blindingly easy choice when the song finally came through.
A few weeks before, a friend had introduced me to the Civil Wars, and that kind of music is so in my world. The music that I write is very much that sort of folk-alternative, beautiful harmony. So I was loving listening to the Civil Wars' album, and I got sent the demo track, and I was like, "Damn, this sounds just like the Civil Wars." And it was. [Laughs] So I was kinda blown away by how it'd all fallen into place. Listening to the track, my first impression was, "God, I've got to sing high notes. I hope my falsetto works." [Laughs] That's something that I hadn't really used before, that super high, haunting falsetto that John Paul White is a master of. "What an incredible song. I hope I can do it justice, and I don't ruin it." We ended up in the recording studio finding out that oh yeah, I can hit these notes with a little bit of tutoring.
Even though I've been playing music for a long time, and songwriting for a long time, and have a band back home [Salt Water Thief], I'd always made my main focus acting and my music was just a passion on the side. I hadn't actually been in a professional studio before to lay down a track. It's always sort of been bedroom demos and recording at friends' houses with home-gear set up, so it was quite a moment for me. We knew, informed by the story and by the characters' relationship, that this is a real moment. It's the first time we really see Scarlett and Gunnar sing together. It's such a fantastic song for sowing the seeds of that desire, and that want, and that passion that's kind of bubbling away in those two characters for each other. I don't think they realize until they sing together for the first time how powerful that is.
For Clare and I — they cast me first from London. I hadn't met Clare, I hadn't screentested with anybody. It was incredible: I sort of skipped the whole LA process [Laughs] and they cast me straight from my audition tape, and I was the first guy to be cast in the show. The first time we actually had to sing together was with Buddy Miller, one of our fantastic music producers, in a hotel in Nashville having only met Clare about five minutes before going up to a room and working on this song. But there was something about the tones of our voices and the background we come from that really, really worked.
The Bluebird Cafe was the first place the production team took us as a cast. A couple of nights, I think, after we all arrived to start shooting the pilot, we were all taken there to hear a great artist named Gary Burr, who's a fantastic songwriter I'm actually now going to be doing some songwriting with myself in real life, which is really cool. We spent this evening listening to him in this really intimate environment that the Bluebird is, and getting a real taste of the magic of that place and all it demands. It's a place for music lovers to come and watch songwriters, so there's no talking, no using mobile phones. So to go there and absorb that atmosphere, and then come back and shoot there was really helpful. We were actually shooting in the Bluebird for the pilot and not on our soundstage, where we've now had to replicate it. It just gave that scene all the more power. It was a spine-tingling moment for Clare and I as well, because even though we're playing characters, we were making our Bluebird debut on film. [Laughs] There's something about that space — it has an energy to it, we were just trying to recapture that.
I think the first time I saw the scene, I went into my agent's office in L.A. and sat down and they put it on. I think it's such a great counterpoint to what a first impression of a show called Nashville might be. It could have so easily ended with something that sums up the country-pop culture there, but to go for the educated, slightly unexpected choice, I think, is what made audiences suddenly switch on and go, "Oh wow, I wasn't expecting this slow, sexy, country-folk ballad to close the pilot." The funny thing was, I thought — because Clare has such a fantastic voice, and I always felt like I was just trying my best — well, they'll keep Clare's bit, but they'll probably cut my verse. [Laughs] It looks fantastic, and I can see why they kept it in — it's all eyes and lips. So I was really proud to be a part of the thing that everybody talked about at the end of the pilot.

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Peter Hanson heard the full force of the roars. And since they were coming from directly behind him, he knew exactly who they were for: Phil Mickelson.
"That was one of those special kind of Masters moments that I've been watching so many times on TV," Hanson said of Saturday's eagle at No.13 that thrust Mickelson into a share of the lead.
Then the Swedish pro went out and created his own noise.
Hanson birdied No.14, then added three more down the stretch on the way to a 7-under-par 65 that propelled to him a one-stroke advantage over Mickelson with one round to play for a green jacket.
"It's a new situation to me," said Hanson, a winner of four...

Wizards end four-game skid, topple struggling Clippers
Washington, DC – Martell Webster scored 21 points on 5-of-6 shooting from beyond the arc to lead the Washington Wizards to a 98-90 victory over the shorthanded Los Angeles Clippers on Monday.
Nene and Garrett Temple each scored 15 points and John Wall added 13 points and eight assists for the Wizards, who snapped a four-game skid.
"Listen, we played enough games this year without players. Don't give me any about who was here and who wasn't here. This is a game and we won," Washington head coach Randy Wittman said.
Emeka Okafor chipped in nine points with 14 rebounds and Trevor Ariza added 10 points off the bench in the win.
Jamal Crawford poured in 28 points and Eric Bledsoe scored 17 points and dished out nine assists for the Clippers, who played without All-Stars Chris Paul and Blake Griffin.
"It's frustrating because we're giving back a lot of what we had built up in the season. But you can't control the injuries, you can't control the schedule, you can't control so many guys being out. We can't use that as an excuse," Clippers head coach Vinny Del Negro said.
Los Angeles, which has dropped three straight, has been without Paul (knee) for eight straight games and 11 of their last 13 contests overall. Griffin strained his left hamstring during warmups prior to Monday's tilt. He had played in 197 straight games before the injury.
DeAndre Jordan scored just seven points but pulled down a career-high 22 rebounds in the setback.
The Wizards led 72-66 entering the fourth quarter, but the Clippers opened the final period with a 13-8 swing to make it 80-79 with 5:39 remaining.
Washington, though, scored the next seven points to take an 87-79 lead five minutes later, and Los Angeles couldn't get closer than six the rest of the way.
The Wizards led 24-16 after the first quarter and took a 51-46 lead into the break.
The Clippers tied the game twice in the third, but Washington closed the frame on a 7-1 run to take a 72-66 lead into the final stanza.
Game Notes
Washington beat the Clippers for the first time since Jan. 31, 2008 ... Wizards guard Bradley Beal missed his fourth straight game with a wrist injury ... Washington shot 58.3 percent (7-for-12) from 3-point range and held the Clippers to just 4-of-17 shooting from behind the arc ... The Clippers' 20 turnovers marked the fifth time this season they have had 20 or more giveaways.

Official: Ocalan wants retreat of Kurdish rebels
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — The imprisoned leader of Kurdish rebels has outlined a peace plan in which his fighters would declare a cease-fire by March and lay down arms and begin retreating from Turkey in the summer, officials said Wednesday.
Turkey's government said in December that it is engaged in talks with Abdullah Ocalan, who has been held in a prison island off Istanbul since 1999, with the aim of convincing his autonomy-seeking rebel group to disarm and end the 28-year-old conflict that has killed tens of thousands of people since 1984.
Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc told private NTV television in an interview that Ocalan had sent letters to a Kurdish political party and rebel commanders calling on the fighters to halt attacks as of the March 21 spring festival of Nowruz, which is celebrated by Kurds and is usually the scene of violent clashes between Kurds and Turkish security forces. Ocalan also wants his Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, to lay down arms around July and August and start withdrawing from Turkey, Arinc said.
Kurdish legislator Nazmi Gur confirmed to The Associated Press that the Kurdish party had received a 20-page letter from Ocalan outlining his proposals for peace, but did not disclose any of the details.
"It's his draft peace proposal," Gur said. "The ultimate version will take shape after input and proposals from the (Kurdish) party and others involved."
Turkish officials have not revealed details of their talks with Ocalan, but said they were aiming for a deal that would include the declaration of a cease-fire and thousands of rebels' withdrawal from Turkish territory to bases they hold in northern Iraq. Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said the rebels would not be attacked while retreating from Turkey.
Sabah newspaper and other media said Ocalan's proposal foresees the PKK fighters' withdrawal from Turkey by Aug. 15, when the group marks the anniversary of the start of its armed struggle in 1984.
In return, Ocalan "expects" Turkey to release hundreds of Kurdish activists from prisons, ensure that Kurdish rights are safeguarded in a new constitution and grant more powers to local administrations, the newspaper said. The plan does not envision autonomy or a federation for Kurds, it said.
Sabah also said Ocalan had asked Turkey's legal Kurdish party, the Peace and Democracy Party, and the PKK to respond to his letter within two weeks.
"This is a historic process," Gur, the Kurdish legislator said, adding that there was widespread support by Kurds for peace.
He said however, that Kurds, who make up around 20 percent of Turkey's population of about 75 million, would be watching closely to see if Turkey carries out reforms.
Turkey is expected to amend its legislation in a way that would no longer make it a crime to publicly praise Kurdish rebels, which could lead to Kurdish activists' release from prison. Political parties are also working to draft a new constitution, which Kurds hope will improve minority rights.
"We are still at the start of a very difficult process," Arinc said. "We must not be dreamers, but we must remain hopeful."
Erdogan said late Tuesday his government was determined to end the conflict with the PKK, saying he "would drink poison" if needed to achieve peace.
But officials have also said Turkey has no intention of halting its military drive until the rebels lay down arms and Firat news, a website close to the rebels, said Turkish jets had pounded some suspected Kurdish rebel targets in a cross-border raid in northern Iraq late Tuesday. There was no official confirmation of the raid.
The PKK is designated a terrorist organization by the U.S. and the European Union.
In November, hundreds of Kurdish prisoners linked to the PKK heeded a call from Ocalan and abandoned a hunger strike pressing for greater Kurdish rights and improved prison conditions for the rebel leader. The incident demonstrated Ocalan still holds sway over the rebels even after 13 years of being in prison.
In a brief message conveyed by a group of Kurdish legislators who were allowed to visit Ocalan last week, Ocalan suggested that the PKK could release some government officials and soldiers it has captured.
But rebel leader Duran Kalkan was quoted by Firat news as saying that such a step would only be possible if "the democratic process advances" and there is a "softening of the atmosphere."
Arinc said: "I believe the (captive soldiers and officials) could be returned to their families, but this is not a matter that can be used for bargaining."

Adam Shankman, director of the musical film adaptations of "Hairspray" and "Rock of Ages," has entered rehab, according to his rep.
"Adam Shankman is currently seeking treatment in a rehabilitation center," his rep said in a statement to Us Weekly and People. "His friends and family support him and wish him well on his journey to recovery."
It is unclear for what the "So You Think You Can Dance" judge was seeking treatment.

Shankman, 49, who has also worked on "Glee," has dabbled in acting, production, dancing, choreography and directing during his more than two-decade career.
He most recently served as executive producer and director for Sunday night's TrevorLive event at the Hollywood Palladium, E! News reported. The event benefited the suicide-prevention nonprofit for LGBT youth, the Trevor Project.
"Last night. :)" Shankman captioned a photo of himself late Monday posing with "Glee" stars Darren Criss and Jane Lynch and "American Idol" alum Adam Lambert.
TMZ noted that Shankman was close with "Glee" star Cory Monteith, who died in July after a struggle with substance abuse, and "Hairspray" star Zac Efron, who reportedly went to rehab twice earlier this year.

Spatial categories across languages
Naveen Khetarpal, University of Chicago
Asifa Majid, Max-Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen
Terry Regier, University of California, Berkeley
For the more recent up-date of this research, see:
The spatial categories of our native language seem natural to us – but other languages sometimes partition the spatial world differently (Levinson & Meira, 2003). For example the four spatial relations shown below are all instances of a single spatial category in English: the letters are on the shirt, the strap is on the bag, the book is on the shelf, and the coat is on the hook. But these spatial relations fall in different categories in Dutch (solid outlines), and in Yélî-Dnye (dashed outlines).
Some spatial categories appear to be genuinely natural to humans, in that they are expressed linguistically in one or more languages – while other spatial categories are less natural, in that they do not appear in any language yet studied. Why is this? What makes a spatial category natural?
Recently, we identified a possible answer to this question (Khetarpal et al., 2009). We proposed that there is a universal similarity space of spatial meanings, and that languages reflect near-optimal partitions of this space. We obtained an approximation to a universal similarity space by asking speakers of English and Dutch to sort spatial scenes such as those above into piles based on the similarity of the spatial relation portrayed, and taking the frequency with which two scenes were sorted into the same pile as an index of their similarity. Given these similarities, we took an optimal categorical partition of the corresponding space to be one in which similarity is maximized within categories and minimized across categories (Garner, 1974). We found that the spatial systems of 9 unrelated and dissimilar languages were all near-optimal when assessed in this space. This account suggests why certain patterns of spatial naming appear in the world's languages and others do not. It also suggests which kinds of spatial categories may be particularly easy or difficult to learn – a suggestion we intend to test empirically in the near future.

The daytime hours
There are three daytime hours: Terce, Sext, and None (pronounced to rhyme with "Bone"). They are named after the third, sixth and ninth hours of the Roman day, which began at sunrise and ended at sunset. The idea is that from time to time we should take a break from our labours and refresh ourselves with prayer.
These hours are much shorter than the others, and so they are often called the "Little Hours". Unlike the other hours, the expectation is that they should be prayed privately rather than with a group - minimising disruption to the working day.
In Universalis we have labelled these hours "Mid-Morning Prayer", "Midday Prayer", and "Afternoon Prayer", to indicate their times more clearly to a modern reader. Historically, the times have shifted quite a lot. At one time in the past, None got so early that the English word "noon" was born from it.
Not everyone can manage three breaks in the work of the day, evenly spread out. The rubrics for these Hours make allowances for people who may only have time for one of the daytime hours. If you have too little time, it is far better to take one hour slowly rather than to try to rush through three.
The structure of a daytime hour
There are three short psalms (or pieces of psalms), each with an antiphon. There is a verse or two from Scripture with a short versicle-and-response to encourage reflection on it. The hour ends with a short prayer. [Note that you won't see all the versicles and responses on Universalis yet: the missing ones will be added soon].
The choice of psalms
Partly for simplicity, and partly because there would not otherwise be enough psalms to go round, the choice of psalms at these hours follows a unique pattern.
Each day has a set of psalms assigned to it, enough for one daytime hour. If you only recite one daytime hour in the day, these are obviously the psalms to use.
On the other hand, it would be rather boring to recite the same set of three psalms three times over, once for Terce, once for Sext, and once for None; so there is a second collection of psalms, called the "Complementary Psalms", which are different for each hour but don't change from day to day. These psalms were written as songs for the Jewish pilgrims to sing on their way to the Temple.
So if you recite only one Little Hour, things are simple: use the psalms of the day.
If you recite more than one Little Hour, use the psalms of the day for one of the hours and the complementary psalms for the others.
Universalis shows you both sets of psalms, so you can choose.
A couple of final complications: some solemnities have no "psalms of the day", so the complementary psalms are used throughout on those days. And on a few days there is one hour at which the complementary psalms can't be used because they've already been used in Lauds or Vespers. Of course Universalis adjusts its pages automatically when these things occur.

Celldex Presents CDX-1127 In Vitro Human Data Consistent With Strong Potency and Safety Profile at AACR 2013
"The results of this study confirm that CDX-1127 elicits potent activation of T cells by inducing their proliferation and release of important immune modulating cytokines," said Dr. Keler. "Most importantly, we have shown that the activation is highly regulated, which limits any safety concerns related to non-specific stimulation of the immune system that similar candidates in this class have faced. This finding is supported by the good safety profile seen to date in our ongoing multi-dose Phase 1 human clinical trial. We believe CDX-1127 is an exciting entrant to the field of immunotherapy and look forward to presenting clinical data from planned solid tumor and hematologic expansion cohorts from our Phase 1 study by year-end."
Study results:
This study investigated the mechanistic requirements for T cell activation by CDX-1127 and the resulting characteristics of the activated T cells. Using purified T cells from healthy subjects, the results of this study demonstrated that concomitant signaling through the T Cell Receptor for antigen is required for CDX-1127 drug activity. Therefore, widespread activation of T cells (since the vast majority are not receiving T Cell Receptor signaling) will not be activated by CDX-1127. Importantly, when T cells are activated through T cell receptor stimulation and CDX-1127, they undergo multiple cell divisions, secrete cytokines with a dominant a proinflammatory signature (IFNγ, IL-2 and TNFα), and express activation markers consistent with an activated phenotype. Gene expression microarray analysis revealed modulation of intracellular signaling, protein kinases, growth and
cytokine-chemokine pathways. These in vitro characterizations will be used to guide the biomarker analysis of subjects in the CDX-1127 Phase 1 trial to assess in vivo T cell activation. A copy of this poster is available for viewing in the

About OneRepublic
Featuring the anthemic songwriting of Ryan Tedder, and balancing pop with alternative rock influences, OneRepublic became a regular presence on the charts of North America, Europe, and Australasia beginning with their 2007 debut. A Timbaland remix of its lead single, "Apologize," landed in the Top Three in well over dozen countries and was, at the time, the best-selling digital download in U.S. history. Although the song seemed to make them an instant success, OneRepublic had spent five years touring the musical minor leagues before its release, with Tedder splitting his time between the band's work and production gigs for other artists.
Tedder and Zach Filkins formed the band in 2002 and relocated to Los Angeles shortly thereafter, adding keyboardist Drew Brown, bassist/cellist Brent Kutzle, and drummer Eddie Fisher to the lineup in the process. OneRepublic then signed with Sony BMG's Columbia label in 2003; three years later, however, the bandmates returned from a performance at Coachella to find themselves dropped from Columbia's roster. Nevertheless, OneRepublic's popularity continued to soar on MySpace, and Tedder helped raise the group's profile by penning songs for artists like Hilary Duff and Blake Lewis. Hip-hop producer Timbaland (with whom Tedder had already worked for several years) took notice of the group's audience and signed OneRepublic to his own Mosley Music Group, a joint venture with Interscope Records. Timbaland also remixed one of the group's most promising tracks, "Apologize," and included it on his own album, 2007's Timbaland Presents Shock Value. The song quickly became a platinum-selling single in many countries, breaking airplay records in the U.K. and selling an unprecedented 4.3 million digital downloads in America alone.
Later that year, OneRepublic stepped out on their own with Dreaming Out Loud, a debut album filled with piano-fueled songwriting and pop/rock melodies. The album quickly went gold, and "Apologize" continued to top the singles charts in multiple countries. Another Tedder-penned track, Leona Lewis' "Bleeding Love," experienced similar success at the same time, thus making Tedder one of the year's most celebrated songwriters. OneRepublic began writing songs for a second album in 2008, and the group later decamped to Colorado Springs to avoid outside distractions. Although initially planned for a summer release, Waking Up wasn't completed until September 2009. The album's lead single, "All the Right Moves," was released to radio that same month, and the album followed in November, charting in the U.S. and Europe.
In 2013, OneRepublic returned with their third studio album, Native, featuring the singles "Feel Again," "If I Lose Myself," and their biggest hit to that point, "Counting Stars," a U.S. number two. During the group's subsequent extensive world tour, a deluxe version of Native was released, featuring the hit "Love Runs Out," which reached number 15 on the Hot 100 and was a Top Ten hit in several other countries. They also landed on the Billboard 200 with their 2014 iTunes Session. As touring continued, the band began recording its follow-up album. Written in 16 cities across 12 countries, Oh My My captured the sound and flavor of locales like Turkey, Brazil, Spain, and Russia, and was released in late 2016. The album peaked at number three on the Billboard 200. The following year, while on tour with Fitz & the Tantrums and James Arthur, the band released the stand-alone single "No Vacancy," a tropical-tinged track that featured Sebastian Yatra and Amir on a pair of remixes. ~ Andrew Leahey

Change the Willow Glen Elementary Mascot to "The Fightin' Lice"
In honor of the school's apparent fondness for lice, judging by the administration's lack of urgency in dealing with the outbreak of 2012-13 school year, we believe lice to be an appropriate mascot for the school. We call upon the school to dissociate itself with the rarely seen tiger and embrace the lowly lice, elevating it to reverential status. Everyone loves an underdog.

Nokia isn't the only one getting Portico today (OS build 10211) as it looks like AT&T and crew have thrown the switch for their HTC 8X, which was noticeably absent when the Lumia 920 got one a few weeks ago. Rumor has it some minor bugs were found and needed to be stomped out before rolling out.
As mentioned earlier, Portico is a small OS revision but those little features go a long way for everyday use. Such additions in the update included SMS call reject, persistent Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi hotspot preference and IE enhancements. The update will address stability and reboot issues that have plagued some users. HTC also has some firmware (10009) to go along with the update to polish off some settings and device features.
Users can head to Settings –> Phone Update –> Check for Update to manually fetch the over-the-air OS upgrade (Wi-Fi only, we believe due to the size). Installation can take upwards of 20 minutes and if it "hangs" on 100% installation before the reboot, no worries as that is normal.
Sound off in comments on your progress. Thanks, rekkid, for the tip!

I received email notification today that my $30 rebate for a PNY video card was valid and in final processing. No estimate for when that will complete, but since I mailed the rebate on July 31 and they state August 6 as the date received, it may take a while.
I can't recall where it was in the forums here that someone complained about PNY too easily deeming rebate submissions invalid, but my experience differs so far.

DVD Bargains
Psst! Hey, you! That's right - you! You wanna hot deal on a DVD player? I've got an SUV full of factory-fresh hardware. There are a few scratches and dents, and maybe some broken glass inside, but I'll give you my full lifetime warranty. Any problems - just bring it back to me here, in the alley off Broadway.
Since you're a nice-looking person, I'll give you my special deal: pick any player you want, and I'll sell it to you for only $500 or less. Trust me - a year ago, players that do the same things were going for twice that. You won't believe how many features you'll be getting. What a steal!
What? Can't decide exactly which features you really need? Well, just pick a player that has everything! (Ha! That's an inside joke.) For the best deal, you still have to figure out what's most important to you. Let me clue you in.
All players provide the same basic features. Fast forward, reverse, slo-mo, and freeze frame are standard. Most players have hardly any front-panel controls. The action is handled by the remote control - another standard feature. So, are all players alike? No way.
As you'll see from the product listings beginning on page 00, "DVD" doesn't just mean video. And it doesn't mean your machine has to be limited to playing the discs you rent from the local video store. There are changers, portable players, DVD recorders (although not in the sub-$500 range), and players that can handle multichannel Super Audio CDs (SACD) and DVD-Audio discs.

text: Stationary Source Frequently Asked Questions Frequently Asked Questions What are stationary source permits? Air Quality Permits, like building and other business permits are a part of doing business in California. In Placer County, these permits are issued by the Placer County Air Pollution Control District, a local governmental agency responsible for protecting the air quality in our area. Information on Outdoor Burning can be found under Burning Information and Requirements web page. Who needs a permit? Permits are required by state and federal law for any operation or equipment that has the potential to pollute the air. Permits are required of both small and large businesses. They are generally required: Before construction begins for a new operation; Whenever a change of ownership occurs; Before a modification takes place; Before equipment is replaced or relocated; or Portable Equipment. This link is to a questionnaire which can be used to determine if a permit is required. Why do I need a permit? The District issues permits to ensure owners and operators of all equipment and processes that causes or controls the discharge of air contaminants are aware of and follow federal, state, and District rules. Placer's air quality attainment status can be viewed here. Before anyone builds, alters, replaces, operates, or uses machinery or equipment which may cause the issuance of air contaminants,the person must obtain a permit to do so from the Air Pollution Control Officer of the District (California Health and Safety Code, Ch. 4, Art. 1, 42300). The permits include administrative requirements and limitations on operation (i.e. "Conditions") that if violated would result in non-compliance with District, State, or federal emission limitations. Since Placer County does not meet some of the air quality standards of the US EPA or the California Air Resources Board, the District must have a strategic plan to improve air quality. Air Quality Planning requires a thorough knowledge of the current emission inventory as well knowing where additional reductions can or cannot be achieved. Issuing permits allows the District to do better air quality planning, to improve compliance with established control measures, and to work with businesses to assure that their operations follow federal, state and local regulations and are coordinated with the District's air quality strategy. How does the permit process work? The District issues two permits for a stationary source. The first - issued before construction begins - is an Authority to Construct. When construction is completed and Authority to Construct permit requirements are met, the District issues a Permit to Operate. Authority to Construct (A/C) The A/C permit allows construction of a new facility or the installation or the modification of equipment at an existing facility. Inspection & Temporary Operation Following construction, installation, or modification, District staff inspects the facility to ensure proper installation of all equipment. A temporary operating period is allowed for testing, calibration, and demonstration of compliance with conditions of the A/C. Permit to Operate (P/O) The P/O allows continued operation in accordance with all permit conditions and local, state, and federal air pollution requirements. Re-evaluation The P/O is re-evaluated every year and is updated as necessary to ensure compliance and to reflect any changes to local, state, or federal requirements. What is an authority to construct (A/C)? The Authority to Construct (A/C) is the first permit issued. A facility owner must file for the permit before construction begins to ensure compliance with all applicable District rules and regulations. This permit does allow changes during the planning stage, if it's necessary to alter the design to comply with the District's rules. A District engineer evaluates the project based on the information supplied in the permit application and any other equipment or process information made available. Applicants must demonstrate that they can operate in compliance with the District rules and regulations. When the District engineer is satisfied that the project will comply, an Authority to Construct/Temporary Permit to Operate is issued. What is a permit to operate (P/O)? A: After construction is completed, operation begins to demonstrate compliance with the A/C conditions. District staff inspects the facility to ensure that all the necessary equipment has been installed in accordance with the Authority to Construct. When the District is satisfied that the operating facility does not violate District rules and regulations, a Permit to Operate will be issued. The Permit to Operate contains the parameters within which the facility may operate. This permit must be renewed annually and may be reviewed and modified as needed. How do I apply for an air quality permit? Contact the District to receive a Permit Application Package. The application form and instructions are available here. Applicants must submit: A completed permit application and an application fee; A detailed description of equipment; and Detailed information on the operation process and the materials used. This link is to a fact sheet which provides assistance in submitting a complete and accurate permit application. What about fees? The District charges permit fees to cover the cost for reviewing applications, issuing permits and ensuring compliance. Different fees apply to different types of permits and equipment.Current District fees are here. Engineering Analysis and Evaluation Fee: This fee is based on the number and type of equipment proposed, and covers the technical processing of the Authority to Construct application. For complex projects the fees may be increased to cover the actual time spent evaluating the application and issuing the permit. Annual Operating Fee: For most businesses, permits are reviewed every year and updated as necessary. A renewal fee is charged based on the number and type of equipment plus the total annual emissions. This fee covers the permit review and annual inspections. How are Permits Renewed? Permits are renewed annually. An invoice for annual fees will be mailed to the company approximately 45 days in advance of the expiration date for existing permits - with 30 days for payment. Once the invoice is paid, the permits will be renewed. The District's intention is that the renewal permit will be issued prior to the expiration of the existing permits. If there are no changes to a permit, only a one page coupon indicating payment and renewal will be provided. Companies should keep copies of the original permits and all coupons on file. If invoices are not paid when due, a late penalty will be assessed. If all permit fees that are due, including late penalties, are not paid, and the permits have expired, enforcement action may be taken for operation without a valid permit. An expired permit may be reinstated only by filing a new application accompanied by an application fee and payment in full of all fees previously due. If invoices or permits are late, due delays that are the responsibility of the District, the existing permits continue to be in good standing until invoices are sent, payment received, and permits issued. No enforcement action or late penalties will result. If you are concerned that you may have missed the receipt of the renewal invoice or the new permit, you are welcome to contact the District to inquire concerning the status of your permit. For more information The District's Rules and Regulations are available online. A print or CD copy can be purchased from the District. To inquire about rule changes, or to order a copy of the District's rules, contact the District's clerk at (530) 745-2330. Contact the Placer County Air Pollution Control District Engineer at (530) 745-2330 if you have any further questions about the application permit requirements.

Much like his ex-wife before him , Jon Gosselin is getting into the book business.
Just in case the viewing public didn't get a good enough look at Gosselin's parenting magic on "Jon and Kate Plus 8" or during the his post-TV paparazzi phase, the former reality-TV star plans to write a book showcasing his skills.
According to PopEater, the father of multiples is still in the early stages of his upcoming tome and while he hasn't found his hook yet, he feels his personal insight into the parent trap must be part of the project.
"Jon is still deciding what exactly the book will be about, but knows he wants to focus on his parenting skills," a Gosselin pal revealed. "There is no deal yet or timeline, but the (interest) in Jon from publishers is huge right now, so he's going to strike while the iron is hot."
Celeb sightings
Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr. on the "Let's Be Cops," red carpet, Selena Gomez is immortalized in wax and more.
- Celeb sightings
Of course, Gosselin won't strike alone. Helping the literary-minded dad is his life and leadership coach Sylvia Lafair, the same specialist who taught him how to "hone his skills to be a better leader in his family and with his kids" after his divorce.
When the first buzz about a possible Gosselin book began back in July, Lafair hinted that such a story would likely include most of the man's life-changing moments. But an insider who spoke to PopEater explained that some of the most interesting moments won't make the cut.
"What the book won't be focusing on is how quickly he moved on, after Kate, with two much younger girlfriends, his partying nights in Las Vegas or his new huge tattoo that covers his entire back," the source said.
Rachel Uchitel address new Tiger Woods rumor
The rumor mill can't seem to decide just who celebrity mistress-turned-"Celebrity Rehabber" Rachel Uchitel wants to romance next.
While some reports have Tiger Woods' alleged ex-other woman in the arms of fellow "Rehab" star Jeremy London, the latest word from gossip website TMZ is that Uchitel is pining for her former forbidden flame.Slideshow: Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren in happier days
"I feel horrible for him," Uchitel is said to have told a friend after learning Woods' divorce was final. "He loved (his wife). But he was in love with me. I hope he remembers that was real, and reaches out to me ... I'd give up everything to be with him again."
Or not — who knows? While Uchitel took time out to deny the London chatter in an interview with Gossip Cop, she remained vague and uncharacteristically punny when asked about of the golf champ, simply stating that such rumors were "par for the course."
Dish on the fly
Jesse James is a jerk, or at least that's the impression one of James' three ex-wives currently has. Janine Lindemulder, aka the one before Sandra Bullock, is furious with the biker after yet another custody clash over their child. "I gave up time with my daughter so that Sunny could travel with her dad," she told Radar Online. When she later learned her little girl was in town all the while, Lindemulder lost it. "I sat at home crying when I could have been with my daughter but Jesse just did not care; he was being cruel and selfish." … Longtime Miley Cyrus pal and age-inappropriate "Hannah Montana" fan Stephen Baldwin has a problem with the racy new direction the teen queen's career has taken. "I think, as a person of faith, she needs to calm down a little bit," the born-again Baldwin brother told OK! magazine. "That pole-dancing and all that, I think that's not very good. I'm sure it's not in keeping with her faith." Despite that criticism, the 45-year-old reality TV regular, who just happens to sport his very own "Hannah Montana" tattoo, insisted, "I still love her; always will."

Here's To The Past Lyrics
Let's all think back on what brought us here.
This is my grasp on what is real, don't tell me how I feel.
With all that's passed I can't relate with myself from day to day.
Why does everything seem so far away to me?
There's no turning back from here,
I've got to get away from everyone who's left.
I'll tell the saddest story of how we made it though this last year
They said we'd walk away,
you'll never make if you can't speak for yourself.
They said we'd fade away.
We've all been down this path before.
You're trapped in this town,
and it wears you down.
When we leave today then maybe you'll understand this constant struggle isn't always in the palm of my hand.
This man will stand the test of time

Daringd has next week's pick
If you would like to join the group, it's easy. Just post a review and I'll add you to the member's list. As long as you stay active, eventually it will be your turn to make a pick.
With $4 comics becoming the norm, the economy being what it is and the growing popularity of mail order services the Review Group recognizes that it's becoming harder and harder to commit to participating each and every week. As long as you can post one review per calendar month you will stay in the member's list. It doesn't matter if you post your review the week of it's release or if you post it later. There is no such thing as a "late" review.
The only request I make is that if you don't plan on posting a review or if you're going to be posting late is that you drop a note in the thread so that I can keep track of who is active and who isn't. The Spreadsheet of Doom is thorough, but it can't read your mind.
Comics are to be scored on a scale from 1-10. 1 being suck, 10 being a damn good comic. Beyond that, there's no right or wrong.
If it's your week, you must announce your selection by 5pm EST the day Diamond releases it's shipping list. If you do not announce your pick at that time, I will add a poll to the thread that will remain open until 12pm EST so that the group can make the selection for that week. (If you're seriously MIA, I'll probably put the poll up sooner) To ensure that you know it's your week, I will PM you when Midtown's list goes live on Thursdays. Also you'd better keep in mind the Amber Atoms rule, if your pick isn't reviewed by 2 or more people you will be exiled from the Group for 1 year. Our definition of a single issue comic is limited to comics listed at $3.99 or lower, anything above that is off limits. Also, to prevent utter filth being chosen deliberately, the Weird Worlds Rule has also gone into affect. Any book scoring a new all-time low (2.12 as of today) will not count as a miss if people wisely choose not to purchase it. Any poor soul who did review the book will earn a free pass on a book of their choice.

BLUE indicates explanation given for not posting a review.
RED indicate that no review or explanation has been posted in two weeks.
RED and BOLD will be deleted at the end of the week unless a review or explanation is posted.
Eventually, someone will together all of our reviews and we will have our very own article on the front page of The Outhouse! If you would like for your review to be included, please try to have it posted by the end of day on Monday.
by guitarsmashley » Wed Aug 24, 2011 9:05 amso what's happening in the Ultimate U? I stopped caring when Millar left it.
by Punchy » Wed Aug 24, 2011 9:08 am
Then you've only been not caring for the last 6 issues of Ultimate Fallout.
Basically, Peter Parker is dead and the Ultimates are back under the control of the US government and Nick Fury.
by Punchy » Wed Aug 24, 2011 9:29 amThere's really only one choice for next week isn't there? Justice League #1
Or would that step on the 52apalooza's shoes?
by BlueStreak » Wed Aug 24, 2011 9:36 am
Eh, it can operate independently of 52apolooza, so there's no problem on my end.
by Starlord » Wed Aug 24, 2011 12:54 pmOh for pete's sake! WHO PICKED THIS!?!?!?!
Whomever it is will not be eligable for this months avatar of the month because I'm petty. Not Tom Petty, just petty.
So there!

Not necessarily. Maybe daringd would like to pick a good comic book?

Like that's ever stopped people.
by fieldy snuts » Wed Aug 24, 2011 4:00 pmThis book was actually polybagged for some reason.
by Punchy » Wed Aug 24, 2011 4:19 pm
There are 100 copies out there which have been signed by Stan Lee.

So I've actually kept up with the Ultimate Universe through trades over the past couple of years. Haven't read DoSM or Fallout yet, but no bigs.
There's no question that this is a Jonathan Hickman funny book, there's some setup, there's some intrigue, there's some cankles, but mostly there's setup. Love him or hate him, Hickman's established his own style at Marvel and there's no question it's his work when you pick up one of his comics. Even though I'm 100% anti-Hicklash, this was a bit of a bore. I love the style, but sometimes I wish Hickman would just get on with it. I get that this was targeted at new readers and bringing back readers that bailed for Loeb, but I needed more payoff for all the setup. Reading primarily in trades has just spoiled me for most single issues, I guess.
The art was okay. I'm not a big fan of Ribic as a painter, but as an interior artist he's better. Speaking of painters, the cover for this is way ugly.
Story: 6
Art: 7.5
Overall: 6.75

JACKSON COUNTY - The West Virginia Educational Standards Test (Westest 2) is a custom-designed assessment for West Virginia students. The individual content assessments measure a student's level of performance on clearly defined standards and objectives and skills.
Jackson County students grades three through 11 showed an over all upswing in scores from 2012.
In that year, students scored at or above mastery level in 12 of 18 subtests and this was improved to 14 of 18 in testing administered last May.
"We are pleased that we are showing an overall progression in our test results and we are always analyzing the areas where we need to improve. We look to give our students every possible resource available to help them achieve," said Jackson County Board of Education Superintendent Blaine Hess.
Student performance on Westest 2 is based on scale scores. The student's performance level (Distinguished, Above Mastery, Mastery, Partial Mastery and Novice) is determined by examining where their scale score falls on the approved scale score ranges.
For example, Jackson County fourth graders made great strides in math, reading, science and social studies. County students met or exceeded last year's scores while exceeding the average state of West Virginia scores in each respective subject.
Math is an area where county students could show improvement, collectively.
In 2014, Westest 2 will be surpassed by The Smarter Balance Assessment, which will be administered online.
In relation to the SBA, the organization announced on August 6 that Governing States elected Juan D'Brot of West Virginia to the Executive Committee. D'Brot is Executive Director of Assessment, Accountability, and Research for the West Virginia Department of Education.
Within the county, Federal Programs Director Janet Murray presented the Jackson County Board of Education a comprehensive Power Point presentation on Westest2 results two weeks ago and answered questions from board members about the testing process and upcoming changes. The board recognized improvement and analyzed weaknesses for area students, collectively.
Technology has allowed testing to be more efficiently administered and has served as a point of interest for students.
"I believe that technology has allowed students to identify with the process. It engages them and keeps them interested," said Hess.
While some taxpayers view technology as a financial conundrum of sorts, studies show that if harnessed properly, it can enhance learning while being cost effective.
The Center for Research and Reform in Education produced a study in 2012 titled: The Effectiveness of Educational Technology Applications for Enhancing Reading Achievement in K-12 Classrooms.
The study claims that the classroom use of educational technology will undoubtedly continue to expand and play an increasingly significant role in public education in the years to come as technology becomes more sophisticated and more cost effective.
Note: In the coming weeks, parents of Jackson County Students will receive individual test results.

"Mr. Popper's Penguins," a mildly amusing flight of fancy for the family crowd, is far better for its penguins than its Popper. Not that Jim Carrey's Mr. Popper is poorly done, per se. But the penguins are perfectly suited for stealing scenes and hearts as they waddle around and completely take over this farce.
There are six of them — Captain, Lovey, Bitey, Nimrod, Stinky and Loudy — named like Snow White's dwarfs for their personality quirks. And despite their elegant white tie and tails look, they wreak a remarkable amount of smile-inducing havoc anywhere their bright orange webbies take them, which is into virtually every corner of Mr. Popper's life.
