Homeric Heroism in the Iliad
- Created by: Sophie Grierson
- Created on: 08-06-13 11:48
Heroic Code
- The Homeric hero's aim is to achieve honour - esteem recieved from one's peers
- Their lives would be meaningless without it, so it is more important than life itself, explaining why Homeric heroes would die fighting for honour
- In the Iliad, when a hero is advised to stay away from a life threatening situation, he ignores this warning
- A hero's honour is determined only, firstly, by his courage and physical abilities, to a lesser degree his social status and possessions
- The highest honour can only be one in battle, where the competition is fiercest and the stakes are the greatest
Heroic Code
- An inferior heroic honour would come from hunting and athletics and an even lesser honour by sole non - physical heroic activity, the giving of advice in council
- NESTOR is a good example, he is too old to fight and so makes a priority of giving advice in council, because this is the only heroic activity left for him to do
- Homeric heroism is savage and merciless, but motivates the action in the poem
- Success means survival and greater honour, failure means death and elimination from the competition for honour
- Victory in battle can be forgotten, which explains why the victor always sought to acquire a permanent symbol of his win in the form of the defeated enemy's armour
Heroic Code
- Captive girls are also used as symbols of honour, the Homeric hero is fiercely individualistic, only concerned with his own honour and of his household, which serves as an extension of himself
- Unlike AENEAS in THE AENEID the Homeric hero is NOT concerned about his fellow warriors as he is about himself. Loyalty to the community and city (polis) was not yet important, as it would be later
- Moral and social pressures ensure a compliance with the heroic code because heroes are primarily concerned with what their peers will think and say in regard to their actions
- This is proven through HECTOR, when ANDROMACHE tries to persuade him not to re - enter war:
'..Yet I would feel deep shame before the Trojans...If like a coward I were to shrink aside from the fighting' - Shows his fear of adverse public opinion, forcing him to ignore his wife's pleas and risk his life for the sake of honour
- Ancient Greek religion was polytheistic - worshipped various gods who presided over different aspects of the physical world and human experience
- Greek gods are not spiritual beings but are anthropomorphic
- They display all human emotions, virtues and vices, and resemble and act like them
- There is a patriarchal organisation of the gods, ZEUS being the patriarch
- One of the most important things that can be said about a god or mortal is the identity of the father
- They are very concerned with human affairs, partially because Gods have mated with mortals and produced half god/human children, or have favourites participating in war. They take sides according to who they like/dislike E.G ATHENE and HERA are FIERCELY ANTI - TROJAN (Due to loss of beauty contest judged by Trojan Paris)
- APHRODITE favours the TROJANS (She was the winner and dotes on Paris)
- There is consistent divine intervention, where the involvement of the gods can exact human action E.G ATHENE preventing ACHILLES from killing AGAMEMNON
- Action is presented on two planes in The Iliad - HUMAN and DIVINE
- Gods also serve to show the limitations of man and mortality, and how meaningless human affairs are
Look out for in Iliad
- Character Analysis - especially in Book 3
- Irony (Dramatic Irony) is used to underline the frustration suffered by central characters in literature in the pursuit of their own happiness
- Similes and Metaphors
- Foreshadowing
- Imagery
- Tragedy - The Iliad gives a sense of futility of human action conveyed by the use of dramatic irony E.G HOMER showing his characters unknowingly doing things that lead them to their doom E.G actions of ACHILLES and HECTOR and how these contribute to their misfortunes
The Iliad Book Summaries
Book 1
- Opens with the Trojan war in its 10th year, in the Archaian camp
- Opens directly, without any elaborate scene setting
- Describes the fatal quarrel between AGAMEMNON and ACHILLES, of which cause all the subsequent consequences and action in the poem
- Introduces human and divine elements:
- The characters of AGAMEMNON and ACHILLES, the role of THETIS, Achilles' mother, and her knowledge of his fate
- The power of the GODS and their involvement in human affairs
The Iliad Book 1
- Gives notice it will be an unpleasant tale, not lighthearted entertainment
- Themes of heroes lying unburied, terrible events causing suffering on both sides and the dark force and use of the divine (Griffiths)
- The story is both the anger of Achilles and the fulfilment of the will of Zeus
- Old priest CHRYSES comes to Achaian camp to ask for his daughter CHRYSEIS to be released, who is allocated to AGAMEMNON as his concubine. He is a priest of APOLLO
- Poet has already presented archetypes at this point, Chryses is an innocent whose life is destroyed by war, through loss of son or daughter, a figure of dignity and pathos of which the Iliad has alot of sympathy for
- Agamemnon rejects Chryses appeal and Apollo gives vengeance in the form of a swift and catastrophic plague which kills many of the Achaian army
The Iliad Book 1
- An assembly is called and the seer reveals the true reason for Apollo's anger, so Agamemnon insists he is provided with another 'prize' to compensate for the loss of Chryseis, and threatens to replace her with Achilles' own prize of honour, BRISEIS, causing an argument between them. This threat is carried out immediately after the assembly
- Agamemnon is clearly in the wrong by the presentation of his character and through the reluctance of the heralds have to carry out his orders, and Briseis's reluctance to go with them
- After Briseis is taken rfrom him Achilles calls his mother, THETIS. She tells Achilles to withdraw from the fighting and promises to secure ZEUS' agreement to show honour to Achilles by granting enough success to the Trojans to show Agamemnon his stupidity in slighting the best of the Achaian fighters
The Iliad Book 1
- Zeus agrees, but HERA saw Thetis visit to Olympus and starts a quarrel with Zeus that ends with him threatening physical violence, this then subsides into laughter when Hera's son HEPHAISTOS intervenes.
- Important contrast between the immortal and mortal arguements here, the mortal results in great suffering and death, and the divine is easily turned to feasting, and Hephaistos says there is no worth in quarrelling over humans
- Achilles withdraws from the fighting and Zeus promises major Trojan success, fulfilling his promise to Thetis
The Iliad Book 6
- The gods are now out of the fighting, and the Achaians break the Trojan line and drive them back towards the city. HELENOS/PARIS (Hector's brother) urges him to rally the Trojans, then go to the city and arrange for the women to offer appeasement to ATHENE, in the hope she will hold back DIOMEDES
- Diomedes, whilst HECTOR is on the way to Troy, meets the Lycian GLAUKOS, and despite how the audience expect a major battle, Glaukos tells the story of his ancestry and Diomedes realises their families are linked in guest - friendship so the encounter ends in the exchange of armour and joy
- The rest of the book is set in Troy, contrasting with the scenes of Paris and Helen in book 3. The Trojan interlude is carefully crafted and structured to have Hector in scenes with the women of Troy, HECABE, HELEN, and ANDROMACHE, whilst there is consistent contrast of the characters of the brothers of HECTOR and PARIS
The Iliad Book 6
- The scenes explore the effects of war on the 'non - combatants', the women and children, and the contrast between a fighting man and the ties that would hold him in peace
- The scenes offer directly and symbolically the seperate spheres of men and women, and war and peace. PARIS is not in his sphere, lounging in the women's quarters fussing over his armour, while the women carry their tasks around him
- Hector goes to visit his wife ANDROMACHE and it is clear that she is also not in her sphere, when he discovers she is not at home, and when she later tries to advise him on tactics in desperation to keep her husband in Troy.
- Hector returns her to her sphere: 'go back to the house and see to your own work'
- Hector and Andromache meet at the exact point which forms the boundary, physically and symbolically, between the spheres of war and peace and women and family and fighting men. The Skaian Gates
The Iliad Book 6
- The tension between a man's duty is to fight and his duty to his family is shown when Hector's great nodding helmet terrifies his own baby son
- Hector refuses Andromache's tearful pleading to 'Put family above country' and Hector goes out to the plain to face war
- Andromache reluctantly returns home, she is here performing her domestic tasks when Hector is killed in book 22, when once again Hector decides to stay outside of Troy's walls and rejects HECABE's, HELEN's, and ANDROMACHE's appeals again.
- Andromache obeys Hector's instruction and tells her maids to get on with their tasks, but she gives them the task of lamentation for Hector whilst he is still alive. It is clear that as this scene ends there is an impending tragedy that Hector will die
- PARIS comes running through the city to catch Hector just as he is turning to leave, and the two brothers return to battle
The Iliad Book 18
- PATROCLUS has been killed by HECTOR who believed he was ACHILLES, not knowing the hero had withdrawn from the fighting. At the end of book 17, MENELAUS sends ANTILOCHUS to tell ACHILLES of his death
- Achilles' extreme grief brings his mother, and the second act of the four scenes between Achilles and Thetis has now an ironic parallel with the first, Achilles' grief is as a result of his first appeal to his mother and how his wishes were granted by Zeus
- He only cares about killing HECTOR now, even though THETIS tells him once he has done this he will certainly die
- He curses the anger that caused the death of Patroclus and many others. Thetis reminds him he can't fight without ARMOUR and so promises that by morning she will bring him divine armour made for him by HEPHAISTOS
The Iliad Book 18
- The Trojans threaten to recover PATROCLUS' body, and HERA sends IRIS to tell ACHILLES to show himself at the ditch to frighten back the Trojans. He does, and ATHENE sets a burning flame on his head while he shouts three times.
- The Trojans fall back and Patroclus' body is rescued
- HERA sends the sun down to end the fighting for the day
- The Trojans meet in an assembly, and POULYDAMAS tells them they should go back to the city and not risk being on the plain for another night, seeing as Achilles is rejoining the battle after his appearance
- HECTOR fatally ignores this advice, and he later regrets this. There is double determination here, human, because Hector and Poulydamas never really liked each other, and divine because ATHENE takes away the Trojans' wits and logic when they put their vote to support Hector
The Iliad Book 18
- On the Achaian side there is night long mourning for Patroclus, after his body is washed and anointed
- THETIS comes to HEPHAISTOS' house on Olympus and asks him to make new armour for her son ACHILLES. HOMER provides a change of scene and tone here, to provide a break from the tension before the final acts of tragedy and drama appear, leading to the fall of Troy
- The working of the shield is described in intense, elaborate detail, the design of the decoration encompasses the world, human activity in times of war and peace, and gives a pictorial representation of the wider world beyond the Trojan war.
The Iliad Book 22
- HECTOR stays outside in front of the Skaian Gates after ACHILLES has been fooled by APOLLO and is fast running back to Troy
- Hector's fatal decision here is also doubly determined, because Hector's 'Cruel fate shackled Hector to stay there outside' but it is also his own decision, prompted by his shame of not letting the Trojans back into the city for the previous night and how he thinks he destroyed his people through his own stupidity and mistake
- PRIAM sees Achilles speeding over the plain and implores Hector to come back into the city.
- HECABE bares her breast in appeal to her son, but they can't move him
- It becomes clear in book 24 that Priam can't move his own son, but he can move the man who killed him
- Hector's fear comes when Achilles draws closer and he runs
The Iliad Book 22
- ACHILLES pursues him three times around the walls of Troy under the eyes of his parents and friends, past the landmarks of Troy and peacetime, with the two springs beside them
- ZEUS debates whether to save HECTOR for the moment or let him be killed, as he had done with SARPEDON ( his own son ) and PATROCLUS, a link which places the three deaths in a cumulative sequence.
- Zeus opens his golden scales and Hector's pan sinks down into Hades, APOLLO leaves Hector and ATHENE comes to ACHILLES
- Athene tricks Hector into fighting by presenting herself as Hector's brother DEIPHOBOS, coming to give him aid
- The battle begins and Hector realises the gods have called him to death when his brother is no longer there to help him
The Iliad Book 22
- Hector charges at Achilles in a final try for glory, and is killed by a spear thrust through the throat.
- As he dies, he prophesies Achilles' own death, as Patroclus had done to Hector when he killed him
- Achilles refused to accept Hector's plea for a burial and that his body should be returned to his family, and he ties it by the ankles behind his chariot and drags it back to the ships
- The death and defilement of Hector is witnessed by his parents, and the sound of their lamentation reaches ANDROMACHE where she sits at home engaged in her domestic duties, concerned there should be hot water for Hector's bath on his return from battle
The Iliad Book 22
- Andromache rushes to the wall and faints at the sight of Hector dragged lifeless behind Achilles' horses
- The book ends on her immediate lament, which dwells on the cruel charge that awaits ASTYANAX, now he is fatherless
- Alot in this very moving and emotive scene is a conscious relation to the scene between HECTOR and ANDROMACHE in BOOK 6, where she foreshadows the tragedy which she is now enduring
The Iliad Book 24
Every day Achilles, still grieving for Patroclus, drags Hector's body three times around Patroclus' tomb.
- For eleven days the gods look down in anger and pity for Hector, so a divine assembly is called
- HERA produces a quarrelsome speech which causes ZEUS to summon THETIS to Olympus, with a proposal which will save Hector's body and give honour to Achilles
- The lapse in time, the gods anger parallel to Achilles in book 1, the troubled divine assembly afterwards, the presence of Thetis, who first came to demand honour for Achilles and in the end sent to achieve it, has explicit relations to book 1 and also establishes the final book as a climax and a reversal, giving it a circular structure
- Thetis is sent to tell Achilles the gods are angry and request that he releases the body for ransom. In parallel, IRIS goes to PRIAM and tells him to bring ransom for Achilles. Again, divine causation will work through human inclination
The Iliad Book 24
- Priam is determined to go the ships, but HECABE strongly opposes him
- In a very human way, Priam takes out his anger on the Trojan bystanders and drives them all away, railing at his other sons because they survived when Hector, his 'one son' was killed.
- Priam is met on the plain as darkness falls and escorted to Achilles' hut by the disguised HERMES, by ZEUS' orders
- This is the most extensive meeting between god and man in the Iliad, which shows the rare divine pity of which motivates this act from the gods, and works in parallel with human pity to being a resolve
- Priam comes wordlessly into Achilles' presence, and clasps his knees, supplicating him and kisses 'those terrible, murderous hands, which had killed many of his sons' - the full ritual of supplication
The Iliad Book 24
- He succeeds by reminding Achilles of his father PELEUS, and Achilles is moved to shared lamentation and pity
- Achilles' reply expresses the whole tragic version of the Iliad. He sees the fellowship of suffering which unites Peleus to Priam, both reached the height of human greatness, yet misery fell upon them in the loss of their 'only' sons, since Hector nor Achilles can now protect their fathers in their old age
- This sets them in a 'universal context' under 'divine governance'
- Suffering and death are the fates for mortals, of which no amount of lamentation can change, and the gods have no sorrow
- Achilles is still dangerous despite his pity, but his respect for Priam is maintained. He lifts Hector's body onto the bier with his own hands, leaving clothing from the ransom to shroud it, insists on the full and symbolic hospitality of food and bed and agrees to hold the Achaians from battle for the time that Priam wants Hector's burial, which is for nine days
The Iliad Book 24
- HERMES wakes Priam and tells him it is not safe to reside there, and escorts him out of the Achaian camp
- As the new day breaks, Priam brings Hector's body to the gates of Troy, and the whole population gathers in grief
- There follow three laments led by the women before the rest come
- They are from ANDROMACHE, HECABE and HELEN, whose relation and dependance on Hector were explored in book 6
- Nine days are spent preparing for Hector's funeral, and he recieves a proper ritual, the Iliad ends with a lasting description of the honorific burial of a hero, duly lamented by his family and people

Lovely PlugIf you want something above and beyond the tradition plug, this is the one for you. It's not for beginners, and it allows great DP sex when you do not have the luxury of two partners at the same time.
More realistic
Veined and has ridges
Easy to clean
Veined and has ridges
Easy to clean
Not for beginners
What to use this for? Hmmmmm, well, mostly as a butt plug. I have actually used it vaginally, as it is a quick way to excite myself right before using it anally. This toy has a little give, but those hard ridges to not move.
Material / Texture
Veined silicone toy. They are not kidding, you can feel each one of them. The texture is soft, and the base has a little wiggle, but otherwise, that's the best you're going to get.
Using this anally is NOT for beginners. I wanted something more realistic than the average plug, and this truly provided it. Like all anal play, lube, lube, lube.
Using this anally is NOT for beginners. I wanted something more realistic than the average plug, and this truly provided it. Like all anal play, lube, lube, lube.
Design / Shape / Size
Again, wanted realistic, and this fulfilled my need. Yes, it's exaggerated in the ridges department compared to most men, but the curve is not. It is definitely a nice touch. The bottom flares out a little, so just when you think you are good, as the got the "head" in, the bottom (no pun) sneaks up and surprises you. This is a nice sized plug for someone that is past the first few "beginner" butt plugs. Please, please use plenty of lube with this one. Those ridges can be rough if you do not have enough lube.
Oh, I ADORE this plug. It is the closest I have found to a real penis. I do get a little too much stimulation after I have reached an orgasm. So, this one doesn't stay with me long afterwards.
Care and Maintenance
Silicone, my favorite!! The nature of it just requires me to clean it really well. So, I clean with toy cleaner, and drop in a boiling pot of water. Again, no silicone based lubes, and no storing it next to other silicone toys.
Yeah, there was nothing discreet about this one! LOL However, with Eden's discreet packaging, there are really no concerns. I know what I am ordering.
There really are no instructions for a butt plug. I mean, it is what it is.

Personal comments
I like to use raw coconut oil with my toys. There are two schools on this. I have toys over three years old that are still in great shape, so I am in the school of "oil is fine" with the silicone toys.
This lovely plug is also great to use in the shower with or without a partner. With the partner usually leads to being DP'd. Fabulous.

Thank for the review. It is very descriptive.
Thank you for sharing your view of the plug.

Some popular games from Stick Page include "Combo Factory" and "Stick War II." In "Combo Factory," players try to destroy as many sticks as possible in a single combination, while "Stick War II" plays as a strategy warfare game. Both games involve cartoon violence of stick figures.
Players mash buttons to punch and kick invading stick figures in "Combo Factory" to try to avoid taking any damage. Holding the A key yields a powerful punch, while holding the D key creates a powerful kick. In "Stick War II," players control their army by selecting it with the mouse and directing it towards the enemy. Players must remain vigilant, checking to see if their castles are under attack or if enemies are on the way.

Liberty Township Officials and Republic Services (formerly Allied Waste), the Township's contracted refuse and recycling collection service provider, recently made some adjustments to benefit the residents for the collection procedures of bulky/large items.
Effective January 2, 2013, you may place one acceptable bulk item at the curb per month for collection at no extra cost without purchasing a "sticker." This adjustment does not change the procedure for the optional "Bag Program" for those residents who have limited refuse. "Bags" will still be necessary for the collection of garbage if you are on that program.
As a convenience to our residents, Giant Eagle will be selling the bags – at their Belmont Avenue Store – for Township Residents on the "Bag" program.
Curbside recycling is available for all residents. To encourage recycling, residents are provided up to two recycling bins at no additional fee.
For additional details, please call Republic Services at 330-793-7676
*** Please note that Liberty residents may request a 2nd recycling bin at no charge***

PHOENIX—Dec. 19, 2012—After weeks of shopping, decorating and wrapping presents, the big day is finally here. The kids tip-toe down the stairs to see what surprises Santa has brought for them. The gift unwrapping frenzy begins and in an instant, your beautiful masterpiece called Christmas Day turns into a room filled with piles and piles of crumpled wrapping paper, torn tissue paper and shredded boxes. While dad tries desperately to remove the parent-proof plastic ties on this year's hottest toy, Jinxy the cat is meowing in frustration as he tries to break free from the tinsel trap and bubble wrap. The kids have run off to play with their new toys and with a bow stuck to your forehead, you must now decide what to recycle or throw in the trash.
To help you decide what you can put in your residential recycling cart, Republic Services, the nation's second largest waste and recycling company, created its own "Naughty and Nice" list of holiday materials that may be recycled by your local recycling hauler—keeping you on Santa's "Nice" list. Regardless of which list an item falls on, Santa suggests that you consider reusing it first.
Some items that are recyclable individually are not recyclable when combined with other recyclable materials. Recycling companies need materials in the purest form possible; any cross contamination of material (metal and paper together; paper and plastic) make it difficult and more expensive to recycle.
Toy containers – For example, toy containers made of heavy cardboard that surround a plastic container are not recyclable unless the cardboard is separated from the plastic.
That means the plastic window on the box of your favorite doll or action figure.
Sticky gift tags – They are not recyclable by themselves, but are acceptable if they are on an envelope or wrapping paper.
Christmas trees – While unadorned trees are recyclable, they cannot be placed in residential recycling carts. Customers should always check with their local waste service provider for collection times and pick-up instructions.
Always check with your local waste and recycling company to see what is on its Naughty and Nice recycling list.

In this modern era, where the wind of business idea can flow towards a wholly different direction, most of the successful business personalities and entrepreneurs believe in the feasibility assessment of their ideas. On one hand it shows an opportunity to a firm, but without the fact that an idea is whether feasible or not, it will be like a guess work.
In this case, the real challenge for an entrepreneur is not about coming up with a new idea, but to figure out how to create a business; whether the idea is capable of achieving success or not and worth money as well as time spending or not. The guide by which you can recognize that a specific idea of yours can or cannot be attained or accomplished has been given below.
- Document the key assumptions regarding the business
You should skip the formal style of conventional business planning and do the documentation smartly. For a start, you can go for a simple style of elevator pitch or else a one-page business plan, by which you can know the fundamental components associated with the idea. At this step, you have to ask yourself some questions to know whether the plan is faisable or not.
- Why are you following the idea?
- What is your mission?
- What is the problem that you are trying to solve?
- For whom, you are solving it?
- How is the idea better than everybody else and how the customers are solving their problems now?
- What about the financial forecasts, can you make money out of it or not?
- Communication with the potential customers
Try to update the pitch and tweak your clarity about the problems of the customers and try to come with a nice solution. Talk to the potential customers by interviewing them. Otherwise it will raise the chances of substantial failure.
- Get the feedback about the prototype
You can give the customers an example linked with the solution. With this, you can describe the outcomes associated with your product or service as well as the positive results and deliverables behind hiring you or implementing your idea. With this, you can get higher quality feedback.
- Discover the affordability of the customers towards your idea
Then, you have to figure out about the affordability as per the average customer value. It is about determining a figure which the common people will be willing to pay for your solution or idea.
- How much money it would take to launch the business
This step can be taken into account only after getting the customer feedback as well as refining the pitch. You have to figure out that business idea is financially viable or not and what is the amount which you will need to get the idea off the ground.
- Respect the people with the thinking that your idea sucks
It is easy to consult your friends about feedback over the idea as you know you will get a positive feedback which is not effective as you will need honest opinions. It is because; the customers will stay totally honest with you. Here, you can know about the possible pit-falls by asking some questions, like- Why they think that the idea will fail. What are the weak points according to them?
- Whether you can go with a flexible approach or not
Staying flexible is the measure of whether a business idea can be attainable or not. Therefore, the successful business owners leave their ego behind and listen enthusiastically to the customers. You have to change the directions as per the situation, and you have to adapt some new strategies with each of the new steps. So, you have to focus on the broader trends to target a specific market.

Jim Adkins brought his Sustainable Poultry Network clinic to San Luis Obispo this week. About a dozen enthusiastic poultry people came to get his advice and encouragement.
This is important work, helping people who are committed to bringing heritage chickens and turkeys to the market succeed. It's no small task -- the cost of raising a Cornish/Rock cross for six weeks is much less than raising a Barred Rock or a Jersey Giant for sixteen weeks or longer. But the public is ready to pay the difference for a better bird that they are confident is humanely raised.
Jim made the point that Cornish/Rock cross birds are not humane birds. They can't walk or breathe well and are in constant pain. Allowing them out on 'pasture,' whatever that may mean, doesn't make any difference to their unhappy lives. They still grow too fast for their bones to support them and suffer from heart and circulation problems. They simply aren't birds that can live any other way besides a short life in confinement.
Another of Jim's points about Cornish Rock crosses that also applies to hybrids such as Freedom Rangers is that they are not sustainable or local. Because they are hybrids, they can't reproduce a second generation, a point I've made in this blog and in other writings. The grower is tied to a supplier who will sell them chicks each year, ship them in from some other place. There's nothing local about them.
"Our goal is to never ship another chick," he said.
I agree completely, but in the interim, I won't condemn the good in favor of the perfect. I used my own experience to assure these breeders and growers that if they feel that they need to spend a season raising Cornish Rock crosses or Freedom Rangers, they should do it. Having a couple of Cornish Rock crosses years ago, the legacy of a high school class project for one of my daughter's friends, educated me in ways hearing about them never could. I observed them sit by the food dish and eat, growing ever larger, until they simply died. I put them in the garbage.
We all learn from every experience. I know there are a lot of poultry growers who are profoundly disturbed by the work they now find themselves doing, as the farmer in the documentary Food, Inc. recounted.
Chef Steve Pope also attended. I'll write about his work tomorrow.

The crowd's applause so loud and fierce it's stinging in my ears
The lights go dim around us all as people start to leave
And so here ends the final scene of this extensive spun off plot.
A masterpiece of great proportions this play was set to be
Full of twists and turns of every kind that set the stage ablaze
Of ever going, never showing, always fleeing heroine
Cast parallel to the antagonist in this tale of dying glory.
What started out so sweetly in the age of lure and innocence
Began on shattered glass and lies that never ceased to wound us
No honesty and mucho distrust that loomed above like threatening clouds
The tone was set profoundly in the very first act, since the very first scene.
They circled around each other... sometimes here, sometimes there
Causing major rifts; predicaments. Many obstacles… dilemmas.
The ties that bind, the lies that blind that encompass our two players
Are what bore them down into the ground until that final hour.
The heroine was set to run off with mighty steed and stable
But alas the fellow counterpart has long since lost his story.
Desires and ambitions have all fallen short and deflated
And whimsical melodic dreams have now soured and disabled.
What's seemingly initially a fiery fight to venture into
Is quickly turned into a night of frantic loss and derangement
that lulls you into limbo with hypnosis and deceit
and chances of survival or escape are much too late
When smiles fall too quickly and land on uneven grounds
They're left alone to spoil and rot and whither away to die
And bubbles of grace and amour from clouds that float above
burst sharply, cold and thunderously amidst the stagnant draft.
What is one and what is two never go hand in hand
Even still if the fit is most even and quite perfectly entwined,
Cuz if one is much alive and still thriving on ahead,
then the two cannot compete with its simple structured vision.
If it's sterile and expired with a spirit that's left dying
on the floor of this merciful play that's exhausted past the hours
Then what point is there to try and revive what's been decayed
and left lying there to rot with dismay, revolt and disdain.
With the chemistry correct you would think it was magic
How the effects and explosions were set up on this stage
But how things all wound up really do seem quite tragic
Better left said and done when there's just no more to manage.
But a shadow overcomes our antagonist strutting on stage
And the plot turns to damaged, hostility and rage
First it's ups. Then it's downs. Then it's most always in betweens.
Of a heroine left to struggle; left to fend for her own ways.
Not worth the effort to consume, and less than ever to refuse
To take a part of all that's game.. when all in all.. it's still the same
The antagonist has no will to share nor patience to include
He pulls the strings just how he dares, with lack of any sense or care.
A dying man of many gifts. Abundant full of hordes of treasures
Which were once so valued highly; part of her most greatest pleasures
A firmly planted stone; a statue.. with cracks so far within
It's always been a misconception of the bond that locked us in.
No longer standing strong and full, it's emptied to the bottom
The luster has diminished now and treasures have been broken
The gifts and pleasures too are gone, all fading into blackness
Succumbing to that inner void has taken all its riches.
As blank as a canvas, all barren and stale, hung upon your very wall
That can be painted any which way depending on the stray he sees that day
No volume left, nothing to see. Not one more thing to spare
It's all been gone. No soul to sell when your life's in one big drought.
So you turn to the gains, the sweet pleasures that sing
Though most temporary, they will suffice for some time
And you cling to what brings, sunny sides for a day
And the nights still will leave you in cold sweating darkness.
So you take what consumes, all what's left there to burn
Though not much, it's a high when you feel it
And it's taken quite some time, to forget all your lies
Still you try to wash it over with disinterest and impartialness.
But all's hidden inside, buried deep down within
In the caskets of your most central labyrinths
That you dare not peek in. You will dare not return
You will dare not reopen such madness.
Better closed off and bare. Paste a smile and be still
Better party away all your actions.
'Til tomorrow one day.. doesn't matter this way
All he sees is another distraction.
And yet this parade still does come to a final deadly draw
On a night of bitter passion left to dry up on the walls
Mistrust, distrust, no trust and mere illusions painted thick
Have strangled, suffocated and hung this flame out to dry.
Much better love for her to find is what he claimed so high
Erasing all you've planted here and quickly hit rewind
They'll plague his final day, he says… but we all know the truth
Of mindful games and awful ways he's used to bait his dames.
No more of this. It's dead and done. It's over, gone away.
She's free of all that's clouded her for a decade past and lost.
A shame to see the show turn this way, a severe and harsh defeat
Of a movie role that played so sweet to life's own music sheet..
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye... adieu. Adieu.
The time has come to roll the credits, cut and roll this reel
The cast is tired, all scenes are done and the way has just been found
As the heroine waltzes past the dark and heads straight towards much better earth.
We would like to thank all audiences and members of this fanfare
Who contributed and who sang along us as we tired and drew out the fights
It was long and was hard and incredible though drawn out far too long in the end
And became quite a bore, and turned into a snore.. most predictable in its own way
No regrets of her acting, no resentments and hashing
Just a slate that's wiped clean and made bare
With a chin held up high, and a soul that burns bright
Better roles up ahead she will find to fulfill.
Time to turn in the script, burn it down and retire
It's a melodramatic tale, nothing left to admire
When it's wasted and used, all is seen, nothing's new
Time to wait on what's better, and not partial and bruised.
As we bow down our heads, for that one final time
Last call here. it's the end of the road now for some
Let us curtsy and wave as we make our grand exit
This fervent theatrical performance is undoubtedly permanently over.

Warning: I'm warning you that the subject matter today is "adult". I'm trying to explain what happened in a family friendly manner, but .... well.....if you are easily offended, stop reading now.
One morning half an hour before students were supposed to be in the hallways, I was coming down the stairs from a meeting, when I saw a group of boys in the hall outside the restroom. Actually, more like a mob. And it was the Girls' Restroom.
A crowd of 50 or 60 boys outside a girls' restroom can not mean anything good.
As I continued down the stairs, I realized that two or three boys at a time were going into the girls' restroom.
I flew down the remaining stairs, hustled the boys out of the girls' restroom, and then looked down at the floor.
That's when I saw it.
Oh. My. Word.
I literally had to look twice to be sure I was not imagining things.
There on the floor was a life-size replica of.....(ahem).....a male body part.
Skin colored.
All the details.
I mean, it looked as if someone had been bobbitized.
Except there was no blood.
And it had a strap attached.
So there I stood.
Looking at an unmentionable object.
I couldn't leave it there.
I needed an administrator, but none of the kids would leave--I guess they were hoping I would leave, so they could take another look.
I didn't have on a jacket.
Didn't have a bag.
Nothing in my hands except my daily planner.
No pockets even.
As if that object would have fitted into a pocket.
Not even any paper towels, because high school students think it is funny to plug up the facilities with paper towels.
After some thought, and meanwhile shooing out curious students while telling them that the restroom was out of order.....
I reeled off enough tissue paper to cover up the object, so I could carry it to the administrator's office.
Here I am, with this thing wrapped in tissue paper (it was even weighted, so it actually felt as if I were carrying a body part down the hall), and I have to walk through that mob of boys, down two hallways, around a corner, and two more doors to the office.
I walked in, and put the thing down on the secretary's desk, at which time the tissue paper wafted away from it, and I thought the secretary was going to have a stroke. She started hyperventilating.
We radioed for an administrator.
A couple of mornings later, at about the same time of the morning, someone threw one into the library.
This one was Barney purple. Less detailed. And minus the strap.
That afternoon, one turned up in a boys' restroom.
What the culprits seemed to have forgotten was the security cameras on all floors.
Four people were identified as being involved in the three incidents.
They will be pursuing their education at another institution this year.
I don't know where they got these objects. I don't know where the objects had been. And I really don't want to think about what possible purpose anyone could have for one.
But I have to admit......
teaching is an education for me, as well as, or perhaps more so than for my students.
I just hope next time the subject is
a) more useful
b) less disgusting.

text: It has been discussed multiple times, mostly when discussing about 1-phase vs 3-phase charging, but I think it is a good discussion, but when taking a wider perspective. The idea lives that Tesla is only focusing on the US market and think the European (and other) market is a bonus, but not the real goal. But is that true? Sure, I'm a European, so I think that neglecting the European market is a stupid and short-sighted decision. But is that also true? Will the US market alone be enough to have Tesla survive and grow? Let's go on that path for now. Let's say Tesla would sell 20,000 units in the US only every year, that might go on for 5 or maybe 7 years and then the US market might become saturated. After these 7 years they start focusing on other markets, but would they be surpassed by other manufacturers like Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Nissan or Toyota? It then might be to late to step into the market. We've seen the same with other brands like GM and Chevrolet, they are not selling that much in Europe, but the Germans and Japanese are. Ford seems to be the only US manufacturer who is selling pretty well in Europe. But the models here are also focused on the European market. Would Tesla be able to catch up and take a share from the market by then? Who knows. If you look from the other way, why are they opening stores in Europe? They just opened a brand new store and service center in the Netherlands, why would they if they are not taking the European market serious? I don't want to turn this into another 3-phase discussion, but one could argue that the lack of 3-phase charging is a serious sign that they are not taking the markets abroad serious. It could also be a "chicken and egg" problem, Europeans feel 'ignored' by Tesla and Tesla thinks the European market is not big, since sales might be (relatively) low, again, is that true? Switzerland for example has a lot of Roadster, but the same goes for the Netherlands, so are we Europeans not interested in electric vehicles? If you look at the Model S tally thread you might conclude that Europeans are not interested in the Model S since the reservations are low. Again, that might be a wrong conclusion! All the marketing of Tesla seems to be going to the US market. Then talking to Americans the majority seem to know Tesla, but here in Europe they are not that well known yet, marketing problem? They might be able to boost their sales if they market their cars more over here? I think this could be a interesting discussion, but please, do NOT turn this into a "3-phase discussion" again!

Miffed on Weight Dig, Christie Says Ex-White House Doc Should Shut Up [VIDEO]
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is lashing out at a former White House doctor who said she worries about the governor dying in office because he is so heavy.
Former White House physician Connie Mariano made the comment in an interview with CNN.
The Scottsdale, Ariz., doctor says she'd like to see Christie run for president in 2016 but that he needs to lose weight. She worries he could have a heart attack or stroke.
The 50-year-old Republican governor said Wednesday that unless Mariano gives him a physical exam and takes his family history, "she should shut up."
Listen to Christie's comment
Christie joked about his weight this week with David Letterman.
The next day, he described himself as "remarkably healthy" but acknowledged his doctor "continues to warn me that my luck is going to run out relatively soon."

This post focuses on an experiment with my new Focusrite Liquid Mix, with which I mixed and mastered a song of mine that was in need of polishing.
First of all, I will be out of town until the 19th… meaning that I won't be making any posts here at TSB until then. But, I thought I'd offer you something to make up for it: free music!
I recorded this song, "But They Do" with my buddy Rich Waryan in 2006 and never got around to doing a final mix of it. Last week I picked up a Focusrite Liquid Mix and decided to put it through its paces by using it to mix and master the song. This isn't intended to be a marketing spot for the Liquid Mix, even though I'm growing fond of it.
I recorded most of the parts either in Rich's basement or in his living room. The microphones were my AEA R92, an M-Audio Luna, and a Rode NTK. Rich played his Kay upright bass, overdubbing a few parts. Then he played a little clarinet and I tracked a French horn part (I'm not too happy with the French horn tone, but it was the best his living room could afford). A rather jazzy set of Ludwig drums were tracked in the basement.
So, nothing too glamorous here mic-wise and space-wise.
Throughout the mix I used models of my normal favorites that I would use when renting out a well-equipped room: API 550A/B EQ, SSL G series compressors and EQ, Summit TLA-100, Avalon EQ & compression, Neve 1073 EQ.
I have never before had the opportunity to use several mastering-grade compressors simultaneously and I know that it's a popular technique of the big boys to chain several boxes together, each with moderate amounts of compression. This produces greater overall gain reduction with fewer artifacts than a single compressor dialed with more aggressive settings.
I decided to try to see how hot I could get this song without degrading the sound beyond my quality threshold (which is pretty sensitive). It was a challenge to retain the swelling of the strings while preserving volume and transient response. It's still not quite up to 'commercial' level standards, which is pretty scary but sounds pretty good.
For the test I used the Liquid Mix's Manley Variable-Mu compressor at about 1-3db of reduction with medium-slow attack and release at around a ratio of 1/1.9. That fed into the Liquid Mix's Tube Tech LCA-2B set to 1 ratio of 1/1.6 with about 4db down on heavy drum transients. All of this was fed into Izotope's Ozone 3 with a gain reduction of about -3db in the mastering limiter, a bass roll off around 35hz, and a slight boost from 13khz up to compensate for the darkening of the compressors.
Here is the mastered version: Dan Connor – But They Do
UPDATE: sorry, this particular master has been lost in the shuffle so the above link doesn't work anymore. The final master was mastered by Chris Reierson of Rare Form Mastering and can be heard here.
For now I'm releasing the song under standard copyright. I'm flirting with the idea of releasing a collection of songs under Creative Commons, so don't redistribute this as this may not be the final master. Feel free to keep it around if you enjoy it, though.
Here is a clip from the unmastered version (volume set to -.1db before clipping): Dan Connor – But They Do (unmastered clip)
You can hear that there is a loss of 'air' in the mastered clip, but overall volume is much better and the transparency is impressive given the amount of compression happening. Any further and the compression starts audibly pumping. The Variable Mu model did a great job of reproducing the gentle, transparent reduction that it is known for and the LCA-2B demonstrated the transient response that I love for compressing rooms. I would feel quite comfortable releasing the master on an album in this condition.
What are your thoughts?? I'd love some feedback on this experiment.
People drive like they don't have a soul to keep but they do. And I keep mine for you.
People live like they don't have love in their hearts but they do. And I'm loving with you.
People sing like they don't have a song in their throat but they do. And they're singing with you.
People cry like they don't have a tear in their eye but they do. And I'm crying with you.

Orlando offers many water parks and all of them are a great way to beat the stifling summer heat. But for family members who aren't strong swimmers or who don't know how to swim at all, pool time isn't always an option. But now it can be -- Aquatica, Orlando's newest water park (and my personal favorite), is offering Red Cross-certified swimming lessons for children as young as 6 months old.
Children need to be enrolled 48 hours before the class begins -- June 14th is the start of level one, with more advanced lessons (level 2) beginning on June 28, with 8 half hour sessions for each level. Parents attending class with their children must have their own Aquatica Pass. Classes are $199 for the entire session; Sea World Annual Pass holders get $100 off that price.
While Aquatica swim lessons are best for people on long Orlando vacations or locals who love the parks, there are plenty of basic water safety tips you can follow to beat the heat without worry.
• Never, ever let kids use pools or slides without supervision. All the water parks have lifeguards and employees on duty, but there is no substitute for your eyes on your child. You can get swim vests for young swimmers, too, and some parks will also allow outside floatables (like "water wings" or "swimmies") -- check with the individual parks to see what they offer and what they allow.
• Read all posted signs. Check height requirements and health requirements. Follow instructions for how to ride the water slides. Be sure to pay extra attention when moving from attraction to attraction -- even shared pools may have different depths.
• Pay attention to employees and life guards. They are there to offer assistance and answer questions. But they are also there to ensure safety and, in case of am emergency, act quickly.
• Reapply sunscreen often. A bad case of sunburn or sun poisoning can ruin your entire vacation and even result in a trip to the ER.
• Hydrate! Being in the water doesn't get the water into you. It's hot out there so be sure to drink plenty of fluids.
For specific information all the Orlando area Water Parks, call the park directly so you can get your questions answered before you arrive.

Start by measuring how much leaves you need. As the leaves were wired, its really easy to assemble. Simply tuck the wire into the tiny gaps on the wreath (no hot glue needed!). Instead of tucking two ends at a go which results in a unnatural looking wreath, I cut them into 3 pieces and tuck in the ends. This way, it looks more natural and won't look like the leaves were floating on the wreath.
You may add ornaments to the wreath but I like this rustic look.
Use command hooks the hang the mini wreath. Add a bow to hide the hook!

This wasn't my first year running the Mighty Mac on Labor Day, but this year, I knew what to expect. When my alarm went off Labor Day morning at 4:00am, I knew I was getting ready to join hundreds of other runners to lead the pack across the Mackinac Bridge. The weather was perfect; I donned my Fitness Ambassador T-shirt and headed to Mackinac City where we were all bussed across the bridge to St. Ignace. That race day vibe is amazing!
Have you ever run a race? Whether you're running for fun, time or both…it's a great accomplishment. When I first made the decision to start running, I set a goal to run a 5K. I downloaded the C25K app on my phone, laced up my shoes and headed out the door. I never thought 60 seconds was a long time…until that day. Jogging for 60 seconds sounds easy, right? Wrong. Week one consisted of jogging for 60 seconds and walking for 90 seconds. I think I repeated week one about four times before I graduated to week two. Within the first couple weeks, I signed up for my first 5K. I didn't know if I would be ready (it was months away), but I knew that it would be my motivation to stick with it.
Getting off the couch is hard. Find your motivation, find a running buddy, set a goal and accomplish it. Sign up for an organized event. Walk it, run it, jog it….heck, do all three. The feeling you get when you cross that finish line is amazing. It's contagious…(and the race day bling isn't bad either).
Whether you are a beginner or an avid runner, you won't be disappointed by the views atop the Mighty Mac! What a glorious sunrise! What a spectacular view! Registration is now open for the 2017 Labor Day Bridge Run. Log onto runsignup.com/bridgerun to register and start training today!

Our homeschool group is in chaos and I'm so frustrated by it all!!! It's all I've been thinking about for over a week, and I'm drained from the stress. The group has been going good for the last few years but things are going downhill - fast! We (the members) are having some differences of opinions and I just hope we can work it all out. I like most of the moms in the group but I feel like I've, finally, started to connect with a couple of the moms, in particular, which is huge for me. I have a really hard time getting comfortable w/ people - it, literally, takes me years! And I don't want this chaos to affect those new relationships. More importantly, I don't want the chaos to affect my kids. My girls love the other children in this group and they look forward to seeing their friends every week.
Our group has never been perfect but it's been good. We've always been able to reach common ground on whatever issues may come up, but the last couple months it's been different. I understand how it started but I don't understand how it has ended in this huge mess that we have lost control of. I'm afraid things are moving in a direction that I'm not comfortable with and so I'm worried.
The group is planning a meeting to discuss some issues so we'll see what happens. I'm a little nervous about the meeting because I'm not great w/ big groups but Dave will be there w/ me so that makes me feel better. Anyway, I'm sure it will be interesting!

Weekly Recycling Now Available
The Town of West Hartford began weekly recycling on July 1, 2017. Recycling is collected every week on the same day as regular trash collection.
Connecticut's capacity for trash disposal is maxing out and it's difficult to site new facilities. Continuing to generate the same amount of waste is a costly option. Most of what we throw away can be reused, recycled, or composted.
This past winter the Department of Public Works began a messaging campaign and held meetings with residents to introduce alternative programs such as SMART- Save Money and Reduce Trash. Programs such as these have been proven to be very successful with waste volume reduction.
During the public meetings residents were energized about this topic by recognizing the challenges the community faces with respect to waste volume reduction and the state disposal capacity. The overwhelming majority recognized and commented that weekly recycling was the number one way to drive down our waste volumes.
Beginning July 1st, Paine's will start collecting any extra carts from residents with more than one recycling cart and will begin weekly recycling.
Residents are reminded to place carts out before 6 AM on collection day, and make sure carts are at least 2 feet apart.
For questions regarding weekly recycling, please contact the Public Works Department at 860-561-8100, or Paine's at 860-844-3000.
50 South Main StreetWest Hartford, CT 06107Website: https://www.WestHartfordCT.govP. 860-561-7500 | F. 860-561-7400 | H. M-F, 8:30A-4:30PAssessment, Registrars, Tax, and Town Clerk have alternate hours. Please visit each department's web page for specific hours.

An isolated stretch of coastal Virginia provides the eerie backdrop for a series of interconnecting tales of entrapment and escape.
Debut author Taylor focuses both a microscope and a telescope on a remote area of Eastern Virginia and its longtime residents in this novel made up of an array of linked stories. Set—primarily—on "The Shore," a string of islands in the Chesapeake Bay that includes Assateague and the legendary Chincoteague, Taylor's tales relate the lives of several of the area's denizens over a two-and-a-half century span. Reaching into a dystopic future from a rural but far-from-idyllic past, Taylor weaves together accounts of misogyny, patricide, other garden-variety murders, and racism. The resulting collage of stories contains shifting narrators and perspectives as well as hints of family mystery. Few of the assembled tales lack a reference to pharmaceuticals of one sort or another, ranging from Native American plant lore to post-plague survival and the customs of the methamphetamine trade. Permeating each part of the work is a deep-rooted sense of place, from the endless marshes to the stink of the poultry farms. When one disaffected woman briefly escapes (with a drug-dealing boyfriend) to a farmhouse in the Blue Ridge Mountains, she discovers an antique bird cage in the attic—and it's hard not to think the residents of The Shore aren't trapped in a much bigger, creepier bird cage.
The closed ecosystem of The Shore provides Taylor with an ideal setting for illuminating the course of Life over Time.
