On Wednesday, July 11, and on Friday, July 13, the Kevin Sutton Show brings you a double-header of sorts as we spend both shows talking with the competitors from the Red Bull Wake Open, taking place July 13 and 14 at the Tampa Convention Center.
"Wakeboarders from eight countries will head to Tampa on the most innovative playing field to date for the sport of wakeboarding," says the press release. And a quick peek of the line-up says "absolutely."
The list includes: Shane Bonifay, Harley Clifford, Nick Davies, Raphael Derome, Olivier Derome, Adam Errington, Clay Fletcher , Tom Fooshee, Dominik Guehrs, Danny Harf, Randall Harris, Kevin Henshaw, Dominik Hernler, Cody Johnson, Steel Lafferty, Jimmy LaRiche, Keith Lidberg, Rusty Malinoski, Shaun Murray, Chris O'shea, Nate Perry, Brenton Priestly, Aaron Rathy, Brian Reeder, Marc Rossiter, Erik Ruck, Chad Sharpe, Dean Smith, Phil Soven, Bob Soven, Kaesen Suyderhoud, Shota Tezuka, Nico Von Lerchenfeld, Shawn Watson and JD Webb.
"Riders will use the new Sesitec System 2.0 to be pulled through a water terrain park in front of the convention center for the Park and Big Air portion of the competition, say the organizers. "Launching off a single 50-Foot ramp, riders will pull the best tricks they can in the air."
They claim that the "environmentally friendly system" will allow competitors to hit speeds up to 38mph in short distances. That should raise the stakes a bit, no?
Can't make it to Tampa? Peep the Red Bull Wake Open Live on Saturday, July 14, at 1 p.m. on NBC as part of the "Red Bull Signature Series," the most progressive and innovative wakeboarding, surfing, mountain biking, freestyle motocross and snowboarding events, showcased on custom courses from the inspiration of the athletes themselves.

We can't wait to get into it with these soaked sensations.

BRITISH boxer Dereck Chisora has been freed by German police following
questioning over last night's post-fight brawl with David Haye.
The heavyweight was arrested at Munich airport earlier today but has been
released without charge.
The incident, after his 12-round defeat on points by WBC champion Vitali
Klitschko, brought shame on British boxing as the two heavyweights came to
Haye is believed to have left on a flight for Britain, sources claim, as cops
still want to question him.
His manager Adam Booth suffered a gash to his forehead in the ugly
confrontation with Chisora in Germany.
As members of both camps and the attending press tried to break up the melee
in Munich's Olympiahalle, Chisora could be heard yelling "he glassed me"
before screaming at Haye: "I swear to god David, I'm going to f******
shoot you."
Pictures taken at the event appear to show Haye still clutching a bottle of
Aloha in a clenched fist as he lands a blow on Chisora, when the fighters
first come together.
Video footage of the violent outburst also suggests that Booth's injury is
caused by a camera tripod being wielded by his own man.
Police arrived on the scene soon after and confirmed later that an official
investigation would be held, though no arrests had been made.
Trouble flared when Haye, working for TV, kept interrupting the speakers on
stage which included the manager of the Klitschko brothers, Vitali and
Wladimir, promoter Frank Warren and Chisora.
Bernd Boente, speaking for the Ukrainian heavyweights, said: "With the
bad experience we've had with British fighters we will now look for other
"Contrary to David Haye, Dereck Chisora really went for it and really
But that was Haye's cue to speak up from the audience, calling out: "You
don't want to fight David Haye, no?"
Boente said: "You've had an offer, you didn't accept it, now you are out.
"You cannot talk yourself back into the fight, you have no belts.
"Chisora showed heart, contrary to you. You showed your toe."
Boente was referring to Haye's defeat by Wladimir Klitschko in Hamburg, when
the British heavyweight claimed a broken toe before the bout had hampered
his performance in the ring.
As Haye protested, Chisora butted in, saying: "David, you and me can get
it on in London. Be quiet. David Haye is an embarrassment.
"Sky Sports don't do Box Office because of David Haye. He messed up Box
Office for all the young fighters and I'm going to give him two slaps for
Chisora continued: "If David Haye is a fighter he should fight me. Let's
fight, me and you.
"David, how's your toe?"
Haye tried to shout his British rival down, saying: "You've had three
losses in a row."
Warren then stepped in, suggesting that Haye and Chisora should fight in
London with the winner getting another shot at Vitali's WBC crown.
Chisora's trainer Don Charles piped up, calling to Haye: "Oh be quiet,
you're a salesman. Get out of here."
As Haye became more animated, claiming that Vitali was trying to avoid him in
the ring, Chisora kept repeating: "How's your toe? How's your toe?"
After more shouting from Haye, who suggested his fellow Brit was a loser,
Chisora said: "Do you want to tell me to my face? Tell me to my face."
With that Chisora left the stage and moved towards the back of the room, still
clutching a microphone.
The British heavyweights eyeballed each other and exchanged more words before
Haye — who was holding a bottle of soft drink in his right hand — landed a
blow on Chisora's face, drink spraying across the shocked fighter from
As the two grappled on the floor, Chisora could be heard shouting: "He
f****** glassed me. Are you mad?"
Booth and Chisora's trainer Don Charles also became involved and it was when
Haye swung a camera tripod that Booth emerged clutching his forehead, with
blood streaming into his left eye.
Once the fighters were separated, Chisora stormed back to the stage area,
still claiming that Haye had "glassed" him.
After grabbing a towel, Chisora yelled across the room: "I swear to god
David, I'm going to f****** shoot you.
"I'm going to shoot David Haye. Listen. I'm going to physically shoot
David Haye."
Booth by now had worked his way to the stage area with blood seeping from a
head wound.
Haye's manager confronted Chisora, asking: "Who hit me with a bottle?
Somebody came up behind me and hit me with a bottle."
After pleading innocence, Chisora turned the subject back on to a possible
showdown in the ring with Haye.
Face to face with Booth he said: "Listen Adam, we're going to sort this
out as men. However you and David want it, we can do it.
"Either we do it in the ring, or outside the ring. If David doesn't fight
me I'm going to physically burn him.
"You tell him I said that."
After the disgraceful incident that will undoubtedly be investigated by
boxing's authorities, Wladimir Klitschko condemned the pair's behaviour.
He said: "I'm totally disappointed. It went a little too far, the sport
of boxing shouldn't be like that."
Wladimir, who had been drenched just before his brother's succesful title
defence when Chisora spat water over him, added: "Bloody faces in the
press conference. Fighting should be in the ring, not out."

Carriers anticipate driver wages to increase in the next 12 months, but only incrementally, according to results from Transport Capital Partners' Second Quarter 2012 Business Expectations Survey. Given the current shortage of qualified drivers and the inability to increase wages during the recession, 93% of the carriers are expecting wages will increase, but 71% expect the increases will be less than 5%. Such small increases in driver compensation will probably only exacerbate driver turnover and not help in attracting new entrants who will stay in the industry long term, TCP says. "Carriers are concerned about unseated trucks and the lack of applicants for a variety of reasons," notes Lana Batts, TCP partner. "Extended long-term unemployment encourages looking for a new job only as these benefits run out. Additionally, the increase in construction is resulting in former and current drivers moving back to that industry." Although driver wages seem to be holding steady, fuel prices have decreased slightly during the past month. Carriers continue, however, to try to improve fuel economy because even the best fuel non-dedicated truckload surcharges do not cover all the fuel price increases. The most popular strategies include reducing individual speed limits, purchasing improved aerodynamics, and training drivers to improve fuel mileage. "Diesel pricing is still high and fuel surcharges are viewed as inadequate by the industry," saysTCP Partner Richard Mikes. "However, diesel may not be the fuel of the future as truck makers and carriers see the recently found century-plus reserves of natural gas as an opportunity."

Yahoo Inc. announced a $1.1
billion deal to buy blogging site Tumblr early today, and said it
"promises not to screw it up," CNNMoney reported.
The deal will help Yahoo tap into
the younger, active online user base at Tumblr, CNNMoney said. But the deal also
raises concerns among some Tumblr fans that the site could end up being
cluttered by ads that bring in billions of dollars a year to Yahoo. Tumblr CEO
David Karp has resisted the use of traditional display advertising on Tumblr to
this point.
To answer those worries, Yahoo
said that Tumblr will be independently operated as a separate business with
Karp staying on as CEO.

Traditional Classroom: Many "traditional classrooms" are arranged in the Discovery Island Boardwalk area on the first floor to provide quantifiable, predictable surroundings for the greatest number of school-age population now attending the church (the infant through early elementary age children). These more structured rooms provide for reliable accommodations for the group most likely to be attending.
Art, Music, Performance: All of the "theater" spaces within the building (Basement: Junior High / High School Worship space / First Floor: Several small theater-type classrooms and Second Floor: Two fully-equipped multi-function theaters) provide the opportunity to teach through acting, singing and other performance means. Spaces are designed to provide for acoustics, lighting and projected media as well as appropriate sight lines. This provides maximum opportunities for educators to give life to their lessons through theatrical means.
Furniture: Soft Seating: The large selection of varying furniture types in each age group area exhibits a desire to provide multiple posture opportunities for students. Soft loveseats and chairs, stacking "outdoor" type cafe chairs; sling type chairs as well as typical stack seating allow all sorts of definitions of comfort by multiple ages.
Flexible Spaces: Nearly all of the classroom, theater and other educational spaces within the education wing are designed to be flexible, allowing multiple uses by repositioning of furniture and use of operable partitions and moveable risers. The character of each space is relatively easy to transform within a reasonable time period. Designers paid special attention to many rooms by providing adjacent, convenient storage rooms for quick furniture changes, i.e., from Child to Adult scale furniture.
Campfire Space: Many of the larger Classrooms as well as the Theaters within all three levels embody the characteristics of the "Campfire Space" by providing elevated, acoustically reflective platforms from which to present. The storyteller's message is more directed with acoustic absorbing wall panels present in the larger theaters in the Underground and Discovery Island Theater District.
Cave Space: In the Underground space for Junior High and High School aged students, there are multiple small, semi-secluded Breakout Rooms used for peer counseling and other small group work. These rooms front a circulation corridor and feature glass doors and sidelights that provide acoustic separation without visual concealment. This is appropriate given the age groups using the spaces. Soft, modern furniture in bright colors enliven each space and allow students the flexibility to rearrange the space to suit themselves.
Small Learning Community: Dividing up the aggregate student body by age and by level, having Early Elementary on First, Upper Elementary on Second, and Junior/Senior High in the Basement, has allowed each group its own identity and set of spaces appropriate to the curriculum and each groups' own method of delivery. This is further broken down, especially on the Second Floor, by the separation of student groups as they leave the Theater spaces during breakout sessions. These upper elementary students visit multiple, varied surrounding classrooms to continue lessons and later reconvene in the larger theaters.
Learning Studio: Nearly all of the classroom environments at all three levels provide breakout areas and multiple "stations" for varying activity mixes within the same classroom. Learning zones result from the careful segregation of storage, teaching wall and seating areas.
Learning Suite: Several classrooms surrounding the Theaters on the Second Floor are divisible by an operable partition, providing ample opportunity for organizational flexibility and support varying class sizes and joint sessions.

The 'A' factor seems to be at play in the life of actor Aadhi of Mirugam and Eeram fame. Aadhi's next three releases are Ayyanar, Aadu Puli and Aravaan. Says the 27-year-old actor: "After my first two films, I was dying to do an out-and-out commercial flick. I found the script of Ayyanar well-balanced with commercial elements and realism. Aadu Puli with Poorna is a family entertainer with heavyweights such as Prabhu and Suresh. In contrast, Aravaan is a 300-year-old story; something that actually happened and is relevant even today."
This engineering graduate and trained actor has chosen his scripts well to give himself adequate opportunities to excel. "Success is very important for an actor. With these diverse offerings, I hope to be able to satisfy my audiences," says Aadhi.

If anyone sees this design in size 39, please let me know!!!

I was having the same dilemma. After hours and hours and months of searching, I decided to get these Nina Hilaria shoes. They come in a bunch of colours, and they seemed a little fancier that regular flip flops. The only bad part is that my dress is already hemmed, and I had it hemmed for just regular flip flops. I hope it doesn't look weird in the front!
Posted 16 July 2012 - 06:10 AM
I'm worried about this also. I'm 5'2, and my petite dress is still too long for me to go barefoot. If I hem enough, I might not be able to wear a heel.
How did you ladies do with the flip flops on the beach? I know it's hard to walk in a flip flop on the beach. Was wedge easier to walk in?
Posted 16 July 2012 - 06:45 AM
I bought wedges for my beach wedding...I'm hoping it's easier to walk in wedges on the beach over flip flops...fingers crossed!

Despite taking a beating from all sides at Monday's GOP debate, Rick Perry's doing just fine–at least in the latest polls. A spate of new polls from Bloomberg, Gallup, Public Policy Polling and Quinnipiac University show the Texas governor atop the GOP pack but still trailing President Obama.
All polls seem to paint Perry and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney as the frontrunners in the GOP field, with Perry leading Romney in three state polls and Romney ahead in another (California).
A Bloomberg poll found 26 pecent of the Republican voters supporting Perry, only four percentage points ahead of Romney but double-digits higher than every other GOP candidate officially in the race. And although 43 percent of Americans polled said they would "definitely" vote for a candidate other than President Obama, he still leads both Perry and Romney. When matched up against the two GOP frontrunners, the poll gives Obama a nine point lead over Perry and a five point lead over Romney.
This lead enjoyed by Obama was mirrored in a Reuters/Ipsos nationwide poll released today that shows the President polling at 51 percent, 12 points ahead of both Romney and Perry.
Gallup recently released a measure of how "intensely positive" Republicans felt about each candidate, and Perry leads that too with a Positive Intensity Score of 24. His score, like most of the other candidates, dropped, down one point since August. But although Romney trails Perry's score by eight points, his was one of only three that rose, up from 11 points in late August.
Perry leads the Republican field in state-specific presidential polls conducted by Public Policy Polling and Quinnipiac University in North Carolina, West Virginia and Virginia. In California, the Field Poll shows Perry trailing Romney, 28 percent to 20 percent. Change over time, though, bodes well for Perry: since June, Perry's risen from sixth place to second in that poll, up 14 percent in the past three months.
Still, in a general election matchup, Obama holds a 19-point lead over Perry in the Golden State.
Things are looking better for Perry in other state polls. The Texas governor leads by a double-digit margin in North Carolina with 35 percent, 23 points higher than Romney, who is the second-highest candidate. He polls even more favorably than former GOP darling Sarah Palin, with a 61 percent favorability rating to Sarah Palin's 59 percent. (He also has the lowest unfavorability rating, with 17 percent, with Palin, Romney and Bachmann all polling over 30 percent unfavorability.)
In West Virginia, the numbers paint a similar picture: Perry leads Romney, the second-highest candidate, by 19 points, polling with 33 percent of Republicans there. West Virginian Republicans also have a highly favorable opinion of him, at 52 percent, although this time he didn't beat out Palin, who is viewed favorably by 65 percent of those polled.
And in Quinnipiac's poll of Virginian Republicans, Perry still leads Romney, but with a slightly smaller margin, at 25 percent to Romney's 19. When the demographics break down, though, Romney polls three points higher than Perry with women, and Perry polls six points higher than Romney with men. Perry loses, again, in the matchup with Obama, though. Overall, 44 percent of respondents said they would vote Obama, compared to 42 percent for Perry, and Obama keeps that lead for half the demographics polled–Democrats, Independents, women and black respondents–but loses it with Republicans, men and white respondents.
Those numbers come at a time when Obama's experiencing his lowest job approval yet–45 percent percent, by Bloomberg's most recent poll. And as the last time a candidate beat out the incumbent president was almost 20 years ago, when Bill clinton took the seat from George H.W. Bush, it remains to be seen how low he'll have to drop before a GOP candidate–any candidate–gets an edge on the White House.

Devotion for the Departed
Photograph by Stephen L. Alvarez
In a candlelight procession inaugurating the Day of the Dead, the community of Santiago Atitlán, Guatemala, moves a statue of St. Francis of Assisi from the religious house where it normally resides to the town church. The Maya believe that on this holiday, November 2, the portal to the underworld is opened, and the ancestors who dwell there can pass through it to interact with the living. Through his statue, St. Francisthe lord of the deadwatches over the returning souls that congregate in the church.

Shadow Priest Tank !
Shadow priests need to be able to tank again like they could in classic.
"The round, metal cooking utensil referring to the larger, cookware customarily used for, but not limited to, stews, as being of a dark shade or possibly of African descent." ~~ Fixed for now. But keep in mind any one of the words used in that fix may become politically incorrect or offensive at any moment for any reason. Further amendments may be required to prevent frivolous lawsuits in the future.

Grains and Oilseeds: March corn closed at $5.99 ½, down 12 cents tied to the equity market losses.March wheat closed at $6.02 ¼, down 2 3/4c tied to beneficial rains in Argentina and Southern Brazil but a purchase by Egypt of 180,000 metric tons helped prices hold with minor losses. However, March soybeans lost 24 1/4c to close at $11.58 1/4c after Thursdays bearish USDA report as stocks were reported higher than expected. We were "pushed" to the sidelines in soybeans after having been bullish for some time. We would await further fundamental developments before taking any new positions.
Meats: February Cattle closed at $1.22475 per pound, up 225 on shortcovering tied to strong demand for protein products. We continue to favor the long side of cattle. February hogs closed at 85.6c per pound also tied to demand. We continue to favor cattle over hogs.
Coffee, Sugar and Cocoa: March coffee closed at $2.2475 per pound, down 9.15c tied to better harvest results from Brazil. Previous forecasts pushing coffee prices higher were tied to expected weather damage. We prefer the sidelines for now. March cocoa closed at $2,269 per tonne, down $57 on reduced consumption reports from Europe. Tighter supplies had prompted buying but consumption expectations failed to materialize and prices declined. We like cocoa but would hold current call positions and not add for now. March sugar closed at 23.8c per pound, up 53 points on tight supplies. We continue to favor the long side of sugar but only through the purchase of call options for now.
Cotton: March cotton closed at 95.47c per pound, down 22 points as estimates of just how much impact Chinese buying will have in the face of global economic concerns. We continue to suggest cotton may have bottomed after last years devastating price declines. We would only use call options from here.

Sock, Bouchard to wear NikeCourt Air Zoom Ultrafly
The latest effort from Beaverton continues to push the design envelope- like that's a surprise with Swoosh. This model also includes a Flyknit ankle collar similar to the NikeCourt Flare we saw last year. The unisex shoe is out on Wednesday, and will be worn by Genie Bouchard and also Jack Sock, who has left adidas and signed with Nike.
"If you were to ask someone what a tennis shoe looks like, they would say that it's usually made out of leather and pretty wide and boxy on the toe," says Michael Hui, Nike Senior Designer of Tennis Footwear. "[The NikeCourt Air Zoom Ultrafly] really shatters a lot of those myths."
These must weigh next to nothing- and to give top pros the support and stability they need while weighing very little is quite an engineering trick.
Haven't seen these yet on Tennis Warehouse– stay tuned. Here they are on Nike. $220 the priciest tennis shoe EVAH.

10 Ways to Improve the Accuracy of your Phone's GPS
All GPS receivers need a clear path to the satellites.
Most of the time the signal can't go through things you can't see through; your vehicle's roof, trees, buildings. In a vehicle, the best place for the GPS will be under the front window where the GPS will get a clear view of the sky above.
Avoid Buildings and other large solid objects.
These can not only block the signals, but can give you reflected signals, which will degrade the accuracy of the data.
Avoid titanium & steel objects.
These can interfere with the signal, so if possible try staying away from those objects.
Keep your battery charged.
Not only does this give your GPS better performance it will also help keep a better signal.
Don't use a case or pouch for your phone.
Some pouches may reduce the GPS signal quality, especially if it has a magnetic clip.
Set up your GPS before you start moving.
Since a plane moves reasonably fast, it can be hard for your GPS to locate an initial signal lock. Try setting up your GPS before you start moving. Being in a still position will ensure that a better signal is located.
Are you running the latest hardware?
GPS / phone hardware goes out of date fairly quickly. Newer GPS chipsets tend to achieve lock faster, and achieve a more accurate signal.
Know where your phone's GPS receiver is located.
Find where your GPS antenna is located on your phone. Sometimes it'll be on the same side as the screen, but on an iPhone it is on the back. So having the screen pointing downwards may work best for an iPhone.
Is your phone's GPS good enough?
Some phones will allow you to connect external Bluetooth GPS units to them. If you're running an iPhone, roqyBluetooth (
) may help you do this. Some external Bluetooth GPS's will allow an aerial as well, which will further improve your signal.
Obtain UFO/Alien technology.
Aliens are sure to have a better positioning systems than ours, so if you can get your hands on some and can work out how to use it, then that might be a great option.
Don't annoy this guy
if you come across him though. He bites.

Lucid13, anyone in a council position in a coven can post spells, anyone in spellcasters is automatically in a council position, regardless of knowledge.
Every single one of the spells that claims to transform you into a mythical creature, is written by people who are either too young to understand, or have not learned the reality of magick and so are fake.
Just like magazines and television, you cannot beleive everything you see.
Wolfy, while you are correct, this simple statement sadly won't change anything.
So many people sign up for the site every day for many different reasons. They will overlook this simple thread and try to achieve their goal. Live and let live.
Ignore the fluffs and focus on making the site a better place for all occult pracitioners. So many have tried to make a statement about this and it often goes ignored. Focus on what's fact and make it better!
Please bear in mind that your way of spelling magick does not apply to everyone, much like colour is spelled differently in the US than it is in the UK.
Every form of kinesis is fake so that aspect ofyour argument cannot really be relied on. We are also not living in caves due to biological and knowledge advancements, not magick. And you cannot make someone fall in love, only make them believe that they are, they are very different.
And do not swear on this website, there are 13 year olds and it is not really the place.

ukactive unveils new mobile app and agenda for boutique fitness event Sweatback to list
22 February 2017
ukactive has announced a raft of new speakers and the launch of a new app for its new boutique fitness event Sweat, which takes place on 2 March at The Warehouse Studio Space in east London.
The UK's boutique fitness market has come alive in the past decade, driven by the trend of consumers becoming increasingly selective and tribal about their fitness choices. Sweat will spotlight the rapidly-developing boutique landscape through a lively day of insight, debate and keynotes from some of the sector's shining stars.
ukactive has confirmed a host of new panellists ahead of next week's event – including marketing mavens, designers, entrepreneurs and investors – who will share key insights on how to build a successful boutique business.
The secrets to truly excellent personal training will be explored by fitness guru and co-founder of Bear Grylls Epic Training Natalie Summers; while Fuse Head of PR and Communications Sarah Kendall will lead a top-class panel session on 'Building consumer love that money can't buy'.
In addition, Shara Tochia – co-founder of web-based wellness title Dose – will give a lively overview of the future of boutique fitness, while Innovation Warehouse co-founder Jeff McGeachie will offer invaluable tips on how to scale a boutique business.
Ahead of Sweat and the upcoming ActiveLab Live! event, ukactive is launching a brand new app on Friday, the 24th February, to help people in the physical activity sector ensure they extract maximum value from ukactive events and initiatives.
Those who book tickets for Sweat can download the ukactive app and input a code to access event details including the full agenda, a live discussion feed and other interactive features that can be used before, during and after the event.
The app will carry the latest ukactive news and content. It will also serve as a digital networking platform, where event attendees can interact with each other and use the forum for discussion and ideas.
The new speakers for Sweat join an already stellar cast of boutique sector trendsetters, including BOOM Cycle co-founders Robert and Hilary Rowland, Elle UK Fitness Editor / boutique instructor Bangs, and a keynote from Joe McEwan, Head of UK Brand at Innocent Smoothies.
Partners for the event include headline sponsors Technogym as well as KPMG, Mindbody, Miha and Fresh Fitness Food.
Steven Ward, ukactive Executive Director, said: "The ukactive app represents another great platform for the sharing of ideas and discussion within our sector. Enhancing experience of events through live polling, interactive sessions and instant discussions, the app is a small innovation that can help the sector connect and come together in driving forward the physical activity agenda.
"With the new app and a world-class line-up of speakers and panellists, it's no surprise that tickets to Sweat are selling out fast. To anyone considering coming I'd advise them to book now or prepare to be disappointed."

"We couldn't build Firefox 4 beta without the help of our millions of beta testers and their feedback, which we welcome as we work to deliver an awesome experience to the more than 400 million Firefox users worldwide," said Mozilla.
Mozilla's release manager, Christian Legnitto, confirmed that Firefox 4 beta 12 is the "last planned beta".
"It may be confusing that nightly builds after beta 12 identify themselves as version 2.0b13pre. The versioning is merely a product of automation. This does not mean we are having a beta 13," he said.

Not a good chair....seat is small. Not a good backpack either. if I'm packing super light and not fishing with a shack. The tried and trusted bucket to sit on and backpack for gear works better. My wife bought me two for Christmas. Returning them both.
I first got the chair and i was stoked! instead of carrying a bucket with all my stuff and a chair separately, it was all in one easy compact package that fit on my back. I set out on the ice ready to show it off to all my fishing buddies and it was a hit. Here's where i started noticing problems. While its on your back, the straps are so far apart on your that they just want to fall off your shoulders (and do very often). Not a big deal, I'll just put a chest strap on it so it clips together and stays in place. On the second outing, as i was pulling my fishing pole out of the pole storage compartment I noticed light in the compartment. I noticed that the strain from the straps on the pack was pulling the seam apart. I sent pictures to Clam warranty center and they quickly responded and another chair is on the way (Great customer service!). While waiting for the new chair to arrive i was inspecting the old chair to see what I could do to prevent this from happening again (I don't like that I have to modify it in order for it to work properly). I opened it up and took the frame out of the pack and the seam is ripped up the entire back of the chair. What?! This is after two uses. Where the chair folds and rubs on the back you can see its already starting to cause problems and very soon it would rip through the backing material.
I like the thought and even the design but the material used is cheap and not good for its intended job. The Customer service is the only reason I gave it 2 stars.

Today we worked with two actors – Phoebe Brown and Sam Warren – to explore different texts and how we might go about staging them. The focus of the session was to learn how to speak to actors in a way that could influence their performances, as well as to explore the different meanings that emerge from a scene when played in different ways.
The first scene we looked at was the one directly following King Duncan's murder in Macbeth; a good example of two characters pulling in different directions in a situation. Lady Macbeth is pragmatic and urging them to leave the scene of the crime, Macbeth insists on staying. Why Macbeth won't leave the scene is one of the questions we first debated, as would any acting company. Is he in a state of shock with what he has done, or has he had a moment of absolute clarity? Does he blame Lady Macbeth for the deed he has performed or is he staying here to invite his own damnation? We got the scene on its feet and tried out each of our various questions. A number of the participants had instinctive reactions to how the scenes should be played; that an actor should be faster or angrier or move around more. We discussed the limitations of giving direction that only commented on external factors (speed, attitude, movement) as it can make actors only focus on solving their appearance rather than what lies behind it. Instead we explored finding narrative reasons for the direction we gave. For more speed someone gave Lady Macbeth the note that dawn was already breaking and people would be awake soon to discover them. For more movement in the scene someone offered the idea that Lady Macbeth continually wanted to touch and calm Macbeth who in turn could not bear to be touched. We played it end on and then traverse, the latter giving the scene "a tennis match" quality as one participant described it. One participant wanted something from the scene that she couldn't find the words for, so she got up and improvised the scene with Macbeth herself. As Macbeth spoke his lines, she interjected forcefully throughout, eventually backing him into a corner. While actors aren't always happy about being fed lines, being fed the attitude behind the lines was quite useful here, as it led the actress to think about why Lady M might use these lines to push back her husband.
We then looked at the opening scene from Caryl Churchill's Love and Information. With no setting or character description, nor even allocated parts, the scene was beautifully mysterious. However, the subject of someone withholding and then sharing a secret was something everyone could relate to. Having listened to the almost abstract scene, the group then pitched in their ideas of who the couple might be (friends, lovers, ex-partners, colleagues) then where they might be (home, a restaurant, a loud nightclub) and what the unheard secret was. We looked at how these readings totally changed the performances, the relationships, the body language, the tone of voice and the use of the space. We saw how new meanings came out and new resonances that certain words had. We started to explore underscoring the scenes with sound and music, looking at how we could use music to manipulate the audience and also to steer the tone of the performances. Taking this theme of a disclosed secret, the participants then devised their own scenes in collaboration with the two actors. Following on from the Churchill exercise we decided our three focuses were on relationships, place and event. Once these things were clear they could build a scene and would have markers to focus their direction as they watched each other's work.
Armed only with some plastic chairs, the group split into three and were each tasked to create a representation of a space; domestic, public and external. We then wandered through each of the spaces, receiving a quick descriptive tour of their features. With plastic chairs as their main material, the spaces looked aesthetically basic but functional. The groups then rotated so that each would devise a scene within a space created by another group. After they had rehearsed their scenes and presented them, we started to realise the spatial limits of each environment and how we could alter space to become more playable to actors and watchable to an audience. In each group a person was a designated director. This was the first time in our sessions that participants were working as stand alone directors, rather than offering direction as part of a group. They showed great facility for discussing actions and motivations with each other, though I noticed that many of them directed the scenes very close to or sometimes inside the action. After the first run-throughs, the directors were asked to step out of the action to watch it from an audience's point of view. This again opened up new ideas about staging and making action more visible. We discussed the notion of 'cheating' action, so that while it may lose some authenticity it becomes readable to more of the audience. "Why do you need to always see their faces?" one person asked. "Because the story is told through reactions" was someone else's answer. One participant directed a scene with such attention to detail, guiding every movement and gesture to the exact second. However, she continued to give a running commentary of direction during the run-through which, although aesthetically quite fascinating to watch and listen to, left the actors slightly struggling to establish where to place their attention. This led to a conversation about trusting them to negotiate their own way through a scene and how a director's goal is ultimately to create self-directing actors. The director felt bad about over-imposing on the scene with her voice, though her rhythmic and spatial precision had been pretty astonishing.
Having looked at the functional use of space we then explored what was possible in terms of the use of material and objects that were more expressive. Each of the three groups were given two quite arbitrary materials; Group one received red and white knitting wool and two plastic buckets, group two received some green garbage bags and a large bunch of red and white carnations and the final group were given some fairy lights and a bag of lemons. They were then tasked to make a space that did not correspond to a functional logic, but had an internal logic between space, colour and texture. Each group set about making three quite beautiful mini-installations, balancing colour, texture and shape. Each of the pieces, viewed at model box size, would have made for exciting staging propositions. We then adjusted and expanded each of them to become playable spaces within the studio theatre we were working in. They therefore had to rethink the elements in relation to the wider environment and the human bodies that would interact with it. The knitting wool became and explosion of red and white entwined around the hands of the first group. "It's the Macbeth murder scene!" one of them pointed out. We then discussed who in this environment would most likely be Macbeth and how could this be altered or reinforced purely though positioning. We went around to each of the newly playable spaces and made similar observations and adjustments.
We looked at another enigmatic scene from Churchill's Love and Information, this time called 'Fan.'; a dialogue in which two people obsessively compare their respective devotions to an unnamed celebrity. We explored how the scene meant different things in different spatial formations and how the actors based the tone of their performances depending on their setting. Effectively we directed the scene by directing the environment. We then placed the scene within one of the spatial installations one of the groups have made to see what chance encounters took place between performer and object. Playing the scene surrounded by flowers and debris added a broken sadness to their obsession. As the setting wasn't functional, we saw how the actors were forced to make expressive use of the environment, rummaging through flower heads and garbage bags as they frenziedly competed in their love for the idol. Someone suggested projecting a large image of Justin Bieber's face over the scene. Fandom has never looked more desolate.

Toss: New Zealand
Even the relief of seeing Sir Richard Hadlee bound up the pavilion steps in a Test for the last time failed to match England's delight at saying goodbye to their worst-ever run in Tests at home. In nearly five years, England had beaten only Sri Lanka, in a one-off Test at Lord's in 1988; their previous success in a series had been in 1985, when Gower's side regained the Ashes. Since then, the Ashes had been retained in Australia and lost at home, and England had failed to win any of their subsequent 24 home Tests in six series. This victory at Edgbaston was also England's first win over New Zealand for seven years, and it provided an exciting finale to a dull Cornhill series which had been disrupted by the weather.
Hadlee's departure and the Test were not the only losses suffered by the tourists. Snedden announced his retirement prior to the match, and the New Zealand captain, Wright, confirmed that this was his final tour. Wright also confessed to his part in New Zealand's first defeat in ten Tests. I was wrong to put England in. No two ways about it. It was a bad decision. Gooch, England's captain, could have faced two decisions as the home team searched for that elusive win. But he was excused both. Wright won the toss; then, with Gooch pondering on when to declare on the fourth day, England collapsed to their lowest total against the Kiwis in England. That gave New Zealand more time to score fewer runs than Gooch had planned, yet ultimately England's batting failure may have eased their path to victory. Hadlee bowed out with an inspired spell after lunch on the fourth day to open up the contest, and those wickets took his final Test tally to 431 as he claimed five wickets in an innings for a record 36th time. Malcolm provided the final breakthrough for England's success, but Hemmings, Gooch and Atherton all played a crucial part in the victory.
Gooch had been reappointed as captain for the India series after the Lord's Test and England named an unchanged twelve for Edgbaston. Fraser, as Middlesex had no game was added to the squad to give him practice following the rib injury which had caused him to withdraw from the Fourth Test in Barbados three months earlier. And when DeFreitas left Wednesday's practice feeling feverish, then eventually dropped out with hamstring trouble, there was speculation that he might make an early return. In the event Lewis, although in some doubt earlier because of knee trouble - as was Stewart, with an ankle problem - came in to make his Test début. England's traditional pre-match dinner was abandoned in favour of a buffet so that the players could watch the soccer World Cup semi-final between England and West Germany. For New Zealand, Franklin had recovered from a dislocated finger but Smith was ruled out with a sore hamstring, giving a chance to the promising nineteen-year-old wicket-keeper, Parore, who had been brought on the tour to prepare him as Smith's successor. New Zealand's last Edgbaston Test had been in 1965, when they lost by nine wickets, but the Birmingham ground had become England's favourite Test venue. They went into this match with fourteen wins and just two defeats in 26 matches at Warwickshire's headquarters.
Rain delayed the start on the first day until 2.45 p.m.; and although play might not have been possible so soon with the Brumbrella covering, this was damaged while being removed and was put out of action for the rest of the match. England responded positively to Wright's insertion and finished the day at 191 for one. The three-and-a-half-hour opening partnership of 170 between Gooch and Atherton was England's best since Broad and Athey's stand of 223 at Perth in 1986-87, and as well as Gooch becoming the eleventh Englishman to reach 5,000 Test runs, both openers passed 1,000 first-class runs for the season. Gooch took the first 40 minutes of the second morning to add the 5 runs he needed for his ninth Test hundred, his first in 26 innings, and his 394-minute 154 (281 balls) held the innings together as England's middle order failed to capitalise on the good start. It was left to Lewis, Russell, Hemmings and Small to help England to their first total of 400 in eleven Tests. New Zealand's attack was made to work hard, but there was consolation in Parore's display behind the stumps, despite his dropping Lewis.
Saturday belonged to Hemmings. The 41-year-old off-spinner entered the match with an eight-year, eleven-Test record that had yielded only nineteen wickets. In the space of 90 deliveries and two hours, Hemmings induced a New Zealand collapse from 163 for four to 249 all out with the spell of six for 33, finishing with the best figures by an England spinner since J. E. Emburey's seven for 78 at Sydney in 1986-87. Hemmings, who had started his county career at Edgbaston 24 year earlier, was helped by slick close catching, a receptive pitch, and his captain's attacking policy; it was the first time he had played three consecutive Tests and the first time he had taken more than four wickets in a Test innings. Malcolm made the early breakthrough as the tourists' front-line batsmen paid for their positive approach, and Lewis took his first Test wicket when Crowe was adjudged lbw. Crowe initially refused to look at umpire Meyer's response to England's appeal, and the umpire had to raise his finger a second time before Crowe, who later apologised, departed. Franklin was again the most difficult to dislodge, his 66 taking four and a half hours and 207 balls, and New Zealand's innings disintegrated just before tea when he and Greatbatch were dismissed. However, despite Hemmings, New Zealand managed to escape the follow-on by 13 runs before the close.
England, with a lead of 186, started positively on Monday, posting 50 in 49 minutes, but the quest for quick runs was exploited by Hadlee and Bracewell. The last seven wickets fell for 29 runs, with only Atherton keeping his nerve in a stay of almost three and a quarter hours. England's four middle-order batsmen had a disastrous Test, managing just 68 runs between them, and while it put Stewart's Test future in doubt, Fairbrother seemed certain to pay the penalty for failing to reproduce his county form for his country. The talented Lancashire left-hander had scored 64 runs in seven Tests and, apart from his undefeated 33 at Lord's, had never looked comfortable in this three-match series. Bracewell became the second New Zealander, to complete the Test double of 1,000 runs and 100 wickets. The first was, of course, Hadlee, who signed off in style with an eight-over spell of five for 17. Malcolm was just as proud of being Hadlee's 431st and last Test victim as he was of dismissing cricket's latest knight in his final Test innings.
With New Zealand wanting 345 runs for victory in eight and a half hours, Monday's evening session was crucial to both sides. The tourists were 101 runs nearer their target by the close, but England settled for that as they had the wickets of Wright and Franklin. On Tuesday, however, Jones, Greatbatch and Crowe were all denied the big innings needed to give their side a platform for victory, and even the New Zealand romantics had to concede defeat when Hadlee had his stumps splattered by Malcolm. England's fast bowler received good support from Lewis and the England fielders, especially Gooch and Atherton in the slips. Atherton was named England's Man of the Series, while Hadlee picked up the New Zealand award. That was no sentimental gesture; the world's leading Test wicket-taker had called it a day at the peak of his powers.
Man of the Match: D. E. Malcolm. Attendance 33,963; receipts £402,962.
Close of play: First day, England 191-1 ( G. A. Gooch 95*, A. J. Stewart 8*); Second day, New Zealand 9-0 ( T. J. Franklin 8*, J. G. Wright 1*); Third day, New Zealand 249; Fourth day, New Zealand 101-2 ( A. H. Jones 37*, M. D. Crowe 10*).

Sure, that's the "theoretical" situation I alluded to above. My point, though, is that in real life the admin is going to want some way to check the database from time to time and she surely is going to want to dump the data once in a while. That brings in the client again. Anyway, my latest fix is a patch to src/bin/Makefile to remove pg_config from the build. Keeping my -lib fix of building it manually that should take care of the binary cleanly. Now the problem is the man page. The problem there is that the man page is installed along with all the rest of them from a tar file. I think I am going to go ahead with this latest change. It fixes the PR, the bulk build and probably a few other things. Having the binary and the man page installed from different packages isn't great but over all I think the situation will be greatly improved. -- D'Arcy J.M.

NAAS Launches National Trademark Fraud Campaign
National Academy of American Scholars (NAAS), its attorneys, investigators, NAAS DEIA agents, are mounting an aggressive world-wide multi-media campaign to investigate and prosecute groups and persons who claim or imply affiliation, approval by, and/or accreditation by National Academy of American Scholars (NAAS). We are investigating the fraudulent misuse of the world famous 'NAAS' mark, counterfeiting of the famed 'NAAS' logo, and global piracy of 'NAAS' intellectual property.
We are investigating attorneys who aid, assist, abet, or provide material support to criminals in furtherance of violating U.S. federal laws, and who accept monies from blatant trademark infringers.
NAAS has teamed up with the global anti-piracy STOP initiative developed by the U.S. Patent & Trademark office, and other agencies that combat intellectual property theft.
We are pursuing the criminal prosecution of trademark infringers, the manufacturers of fake 'NAAS' logos, the manufacturers of counterfeit 'NAAS' t-shirts, companies and organizations that illegally use the 'NAAS' mark on their websites, and their co-conspirators.
Non-profit organizations, donors, web hosting companies, universities, data repository companies, and advertisers that sponsor, fund, or provide material support to offensive trademark infringers are also targets of scrutiny, and possible litigation.
The choice is simple: If you do not have an official NAAS License, cease and desist your use of the 'NAAS' mark or remove ALL references of the mark from your literature and website.
We intend to track down, locate, identify, and prosecute each and every person(s), group(s), and agencies who violate U.S. federal laws with regard to matters concerning NAAS. There is no person or agency that will be spared scrutiny if they are perceived as violating the intellectual property rights of National Academy of American Scholars (NAAS).
The known principal organizations and persons currently under both criminal and civil investigation with respect to matters concerning this topic are:
David G. Steadman, President
Northwest Association of Accredited Schools
1510 Robert St., Suite 103
Boise, ID 83705-5194
URL: http://www.northwestaccreditation.org/; and, throughout their website.
#Northwest Association of Accredited Schools, encourages their respective State commitees, sub-groups, and alleged 'NAAS' accredited schools to engage in the same conduct that itself is under investigation for;
Joan Messer
American Junior Academy of Sciences
900 S. Court
Ellisville, MS 39467
URL: http://www.amjas.org/index.php
URL: http://www.amjas.org/about.php
URL: http://www.amjas.org/
#Joan Messer is a professor at Jones County Junior College. The American Junior Academy of Sciences is suspected of a wide variety of offenses, including trademark infringement, and defrauding donors by improperly inducing the same with fraudulent references to 'NAAS'.
Dr. Don Jordan
College of Arts & Sciences,
University of South Carolina
323 Sumwalt
Columbia, SC 29208
URL: http://www.cas.sc.edu/cse/jordan/
#Don Jordan is a professor at the University of South Carolina. He illegally and fraudulently implies that his organization is approved by and/or endorsed by NAAS. His colleagues have dropped use of the 'NAAS' mark, but he has thus far failed to respect U.S. Trademark laws.
Attn: Dr. James J. McCarthy
The American Association for the Advancement of Science
1200 New York Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20005
URL: http://www.aaas.org/programs/education/naas.shtml
#This organization is staffed by persons who are employees of universities and colleges that are also members of National Association of Student Financial-Aid Administrators (NASFAA); the members of this organization has an extensive history of student-loan fraud, and crimes related to financial-aid.
Attn: Gary Kipp, Executive Director
Association of Washington School Principals
1021 8th Ave. S.E.,
Olympia, WA 98501-1500
This group is associated with Northwest Association of Accredited Schools. Collectively, they encourage their respective State commitees, sub-groups, employees, and illegally-named 'NAAS' accredited schools to engage in the same conduct that itself is under investigation for.
Many of the these persons and organizations have direct ties to National Association of Financial-Aid Administrators (NASFAA) or its counterpart National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC). NAAS Media Reports detail that these organization are typically a base or breeding ground for financial-aid criminals, student-loan fraudsters, and loan-steering. Both of these organizations have been repeated subjects of past NAAS NEWS Media reports.
As of the date of this posting, the groups named above appear to be the most blatant, offensive, deceitiful, and persistent violators and infringers of the 'NAAS' mark. None of there persons have been qualified or authorized to use the world-famous 'NAAS' mark in commerce. Their use of the 'NAAS' mark is illegal.
Honest and ethical persons need merely to be reminded of the need to follow the law, and they will comply; whereas, criminals need to be handcuffed, publicly embarrassed, and/or ordered by a court of law to comply with the same instructions

Jets-Devils Preview
The Winnipeg Jets will have to try to start a new road winning streak in what has been a difficult venue for them against a tough goaltender to beat.
The franchise has dropped five straight road games against the New Jersey Devils, who are expected to have Martin Brodeur back in goal Sunday.
Winnipeg (7-9-1) missed a chance for its first four-game road win streak in three seasons Saturday with a 5-3 loss to Philadelphia, where the team had won its previous six visits.
Now the Jets will try for their first victory at the Prudential Center since a 4-2 win as the Atlanta Thrashers on Oct. 16, 2009. They are 0-4-1 in their last five visits to Newark, going 0 for 8 on the power play in those games.
The Devils are 6-1-2 at home this season.
Brodeur will likely start after coach Pete DeBoer decided to give backup Johan Hedberg his fifth start in Saturday's 5-1 loss at Washington.
Extra rest should benefit the 40-year-old Brodeur, who is 5-1-1 with a 1.84 goals-against average in his last seven outings. He has posted a 1.57 GAA in winning his last five starts against the Winnipeg/Atlanta franchise.
New Jersey (10-4-4) went 3-1-0 against Winnipeg last season, with one victory coming in overtime. Patrik Elias scored in each game and had a team-high six points in the season series for the Devils.
Jets winger Evander Kane enters this meeting on a six-game point streak overall. Kane has scored twice on Brodeur, including his second career tally in his fourth NHL game.
His first-period goal Saturday was part of a strong start in which Winnipeg recorded 12 of the game's first 13 shots. The Jets built a 3-1 second-period lead before faltering.
"It's very disappointing, you have a 3-1 lead in the second, 3-2 in the third and you've got to be able to lock those down," Kane said. "You can't sit back, no matter how many goals you're up in the NHL, because teams can come back and will come back, if you relax and just try to play defense."
The Jets went 0 for 4 on the power play, and have come up empty on 21 chances over their last eight games. Their penalty kill allowed three goals on six opportunities, with the unit regressing to a league-worst 67.9 percent after not yielding a power-play goal in back-to-back games for the first time this season in the previous two contests.
"I thought we played a pretty hard game, if you take the special teams out of the scenario," coach Claude Noel said. "The problem is, is that you can't. The way we'd been working on the penalty killing, the success we've had on the last few games, it was disappointing to see it turn that way."
Devils center Ryan Carter is expected to miss his third straight game with an upper-body injury suffered in Monday's 2-1 shootout loss to Ottawa.
Winger Alexei Ponikarovsky, though, should be in the lineup to face a Jets team that signed him as a free agent last summer but traded him back to the Devils on Feb. 13 after just 12 games.
New Jersey's next game after this one is Thursday's visit to Winnipeg. Before the rematch, the Jets will stay in the area and complete a five-game trip Tuesday against the New York Rangers.

thanks addison,
but i am still not clear.
I have rectified the mistake in the META tag.
I could not find any equivalent command for the > <%@ page
contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %> in servlet apis.
but, i have changed the default character set of the webserver to utf-8.
Now i am entering only one chinese character in the Textfield (with name say
"uniname") in html page, whose unicode value is 20840 decimal or 0x5158 hex.
When i submit the page to the server, the request goes to servlet and when i
say String str = request.getParameter("uniname"), it should give me a string
with length 1 ( and (long)str.charAt(0) should give me 20840 ).
[ Rather i want such string ]
Is it the right format of the unicode string what i am expecting?
Instead, it gives me a string with two characters with ascii values 145 and
Is there any fundamental mistake i am doing or its something to do with
webserver's handling of posted unicode data?

text: In that context it's talking about a Coat of arms - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia . You'll notice that pubs called The <something> Arms have a shield for a sign. Originally, it presumably marked the family of the publican; I had a cousin named Charles Slaughter, and he owned a pub called The Slaughter Arms (which had been in the family for generations). I expect some pubs, though, just pick that name because they feel like it.

It is here! Preorder is live on Hound and Key, my new character-focused contemporary fantasy coming September 6.
You can find the ebook at:
Barnes and Noble
And probably other places too. Unfortunately, I can't do preorders for the print edition. However! I have added a handy-dandy newsletter sign up link to the right, and if you input your email there, you'll get a newsletter when Hound and Key goes on sale in all formats.
In fact, why not sign up for the newsletter anyway! It will only come out about once or twice a year, when I have new books or stories available for you all.
Key has lived her entire life in captivity, forced to use her magic to kill the enemies of Ariadne, an ageless woman with powerful magic of her own. Key knows she and Ariadne are both members of the Hand of the Gods, five souls reborn through the ages, but Key remembers none of her past lives. She chafes against Ariadne's control, and longs to escape to lead a life of her own.
Eric has worked for Ariadne for years in ignorance of her secrets, but now coincidences and bad luck are piling up. When he talks his way into the compound that houses Key and the other members of the Hand, he learns the truth about Ariadne's magic—and the murders she's committed with it. Together, Eric and Key escape and set out to find Lantern, the one member of the Hand Ariadne has never managed to capture—and who may know how to stop her for good.

The Iliad of Homer
Page: 174Spread their cold poison through our soldiers' breasts,
My javelin can revenge so base a part,
And free the soul that quivers in thy heart."
Furious he spoke, and, rushing to the wall,
Calls on his host; his host obey the call;
With ardour follow where their leader flies:
Redoubling clamours thunder in the skies.[pg 224]
Jove breathes a whirlwind from the hills of Ide,
And drifts of dust the clouded navy hide;
He fills the Greeks with terror and dismay,
And gives great Hector the predestined day.
Strong in themselves, but stronger in his aid,
Close to the works their rigid siege they laid.
In vain the mounds and massy beams defend,
While these they undermine, and those they rend;
Upheaved the piles that prop the solid wall;
And heaps on heaps the smoky ruins fall.
Greece on her ramparts stands the fierce alarms;
The crowded bulwarks blaze with waving arms,
Shield touching shield, a long refulgent row;
Whence hissing darts, incessant, rain below.
The bold Ajaces fly from tower to tower,
And rouse, with flame divine, the Grecian power.
The generous impulse every Greek obeys;
Threats urge the fearful; and the valiant, praise.
"Fellows in arms! whose deeds are known to fame,
And you, whose ardour hopes an equal name!
Since not alike endued with force or art;
Behold a day when each may act his part!
A day to fire the brave, and warm the cold,
To gain new glories, or augment the old.
Urge those who stand, and those who faint, excite;
Drown Hector's vaunts in loud exhorts of fight;
Conquest, not safety, fill the thoughts of all;
Seek not your fleet, but sally from the wall;
So Jove once more may drive their routed train,
And Troy lie trembling in her walls again."
Their ardour kindles all the Grecian powers;
And now the stones descend in heavier showers.
As when high Jove his sharp artillery forms,
And opes his cloudy magazine of storms;
In winter's bleak un comfortable reign,
A snowy inundation hides the plain;
He stills the winds, and bids the skies to sleep;
Then pours the silent tempest thick and deep;
And first the mountain-tops are cover'd o'er,
Then the green fields, and then the sandy shore;
Bent with the weight, the nodding woods are seen,
And one bright waste hides all the works of men:
The circling seas, alone absorbing all,
Drink the dissolving fleeces as they fall:
So from each side increased the stony rain,
And the white ruin rises o'er the plain.
Thus godlike Hector and his troops contend
To force the ramparts, and the gates to rend:
Nor Troy could conquer, nor the Greeks would yield,
Till great Sarpedon tower'd amid the field;[pg 225]
For mighty Jove inspired with martial flame
His matchless son, and urged him on to fame.
In arms he shines, conspicuous from afar,
And bears aloft his ample shield in air;
Within whose orb the thick bull-hides were roll'd,
Ponderous with brass, and bound with ductile gold:
