Coppelia Question #1: Do you take Coppelia seriously?
Posted 15 May 2001 - 12:53 AM
"Coppelia" is a ballet that's been a bit out of fashion lately -- a staple of semi-professional companies as a spring show, but no longer a vehicle for star ballerinas -- at least, not often. One of the most revolutionary things George Balanchine ever did was to stage a "Coppelia" in 1974, at the height of the triumph of post-modernism, two years after the Stravinsky Festival with its oh, so modern ballets. It was a year before I came to ballet, so I only know of the shock this caused second hand. But it did cause a shock.
So, with that preamble, and since we have posters of several generations here, do you take "Coppelia" seriously as one of the great ballets? Why or why not.
Posted 15 May 2001 - 02:04 AM
Just as how the supreme control/girliness of Aurora, the different sides of Odette and Odile, and the wonder and excitement of Clara (Nutcracker) are essential personalities to learn, to become an animated doll or the owner of a hopelessly flirty boyfriend (Franz) is a challenge in itself.
So for me, I think Coppelia deserves to be on the list with the 'great ballets'. If we're considering the great Swanhildas then the ballet itself must have a legacy too, right?

For the enjoyment it has given people: yes.
Plot? Weeeeeeelllllll.......

Also, as Juliet noted, the score is a fine one and, like "Nutcracker" and "Swan Lake," probably one of the main reasons why "Coppelia" has endured.

Taking a somewhat different emphasis, and one that would relate Coppelia to earlier romantic ballets, Croce describes Swanilda as a Shavian heroine who has to bring the dreaming/fantasizing hero down to earth and back to real life -- with Coppelius a kind of failed artist who never did entirely return from his dreams back to the everyday. (I'm paraphrasing Croce based on memory and may be elaborating a bit.) In a sense Coppelius is a belated version of Pygmalion -- Pygmalion in the age of mechanical reproduction.
Even the Wagner parodies that the Balanchine/Danilova version include partly underline the way this is a ballet about ballet (or theater more broadly), as well as a ballet about the undoing of romantic myth. No more unattainable dream women (Sylphs or Valkyries) -- or, rather, a robot instead.
None of this would be able to take theatrical effect, if there weren't the choreography to sustain the sheer dance interest. That's why it's a ballet and not a Hoffman story! But the evidence of the various productions I've seen is that enough remains of the "original" -- steps/structure/atmosphere -- to say that there is a choreographic template and it works.
I agree, too, with Luka's comment that the ballet's rich history counts for something in this discussion. It's an important work if for no other reason than that it has been the scene of important performances. That alone might not be reason enough to keep staging Coppelia, but it is a part of the larger picture.
I guess it's clear by now how I would answer the question. Yes, indeed, I do take Coppelia seriously as a major ballet!

One of the most moving scenes in this ballet I've seen was Fredbjorn Bjornsson as Coppelius, because he really believed he'd done it, finally succeeded, after all these years, and the belief, and the love he had for her, was so intense it made his moment of realization that he had been duped absolutely heartbreaking. One felt he had a total of four minutes of happiness in his entire life.

By the way, it's one of my favorites. It's not very deep or anything, but indeed, why should it have to be? It's one well-known ballet that has no element of magic or tragedy. Really, it's a ballet for the Industrial Age.
Yes, it has a fantastic score and I agree that's one of the reasons it's endured but I'm beginning to like the music of Sylvia better: There's more of an emotional scope in Sylvia.

The Balanchine Coppelia, which is the only version I know, has always struck me as being one of the less satisfying full-lengths, despite its charming score, and I don't know why. Possibly Mel put his finger on it for me when he raises the issue of how very difficult it is to do comedy effectively.
Mel Johnson, on Jun 2 2001, 09:15 PM, said:
I would add to this: "Coppellia must be taken seriously by its stagers and dancers." Perhaps too many performances in which the ballet has been done with inconsistency of style and tone, with too much jokiness in the first and second acts and too little sense continuity (and wonder) in the third, have slightly spoiled it for me.
Similarly, although Drew and Alexandra raise the matter of the significant themes in the story, I am struck by the question of whether these ideas -- which can be justified on paper -- can actually be communicated from the stage, to the audience, during performance. I'd love to be conviced that I am wrong.
(I should add that I go back to the first performances at NYCB and have seen several Miami perfornances in recent years.)
So, to return to Alexandra's original question: "Do you take Coppelia seriously?" I would add: If so, how and why? If not ... why not?

What are the origins of these versions? How did they come to be both similar and dissimilar?
Thanks, FauxPas, for your insights into this ballet and for your questions.

The NFL Trade deadline is never very active. In fact, trades in the NFL don't happen very often. Not like hoops or baseball anyway. The Packers are very rarely mentioned in trade rumors either...especially since Ted Thompson took over as GM. He likes to keep his draft picks and build from within. Obviously that has worked very well...but he may have to move out of his comfort zone before this season's promise gets washed away in a tsunami of injuries and an punchless running game. 2 1/2 yards per carry is not going to get it done...and even with a pass happy team like the Packers...having a brusing running back that can move the pile between the tackles would be very desirable. They thought they had that with Cedric Benson but he's on the shelf and won't be back for the forseeable future. The rumors are that Green Bay might be interested in trading for Stephen Jackson. The Rams already have his eventual replacement in place and might be willing to deal jackson for a 4th or 5th rounder. Jackson is a consumate pro and the kind of punishing runner that can get the tough yards but can still break a big one every now and again. If I can get Jackson right now for a 4th round pick, I'd make that deal. There are times to trade and times to not trade...for the Packers right now...it's the former.
Congrats to DC Everest grad Kristen Churkey who has made a very succesful transition to college goal-keeper and is helping the Pointers put together a very fine season.

Songs of The day (from my I-pod)
Land-Patti Smith (1975) the first time I put Horses by Patti Smith on the turntable in college I was puzzled...what the hell was this...poetry, snippets from soul oldies and scratchy,driving music that would come to be known as punk...the more I listened, especially to this cut, the more I became hypnotized...I could visualize this story in my head...it would make a hell of a movie...you cant listen to this just once...One of my favorite songs and all the wanna be punks that came after had to try and live up to this.

Organisations will co-operate on dealing with climate change and promoting sustainable development
Three regional organisations have signed landmark agreements to co-operate on practical steps to deal with the effects of climate change and to promote sustainable development at a Commonwealth event at the Rio+20 Earth Conference.
The two memoranda of understanding (MOUs) were signed by the Indian Ocean Commission (IOC), the Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre (5Cs) and the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) on 20 June 2012 at the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The signing took place following a panel discussion titled Across the Regions: Small Island Developing States Solutions for Sustainable Development, organised by the Commonwealth Secretariat and the three regional bodies.
The well-attended event focused on strengthening collaboration among the three regions in promoting sustainable development.
Commonwealth Deputy Secretary-General Ransford Smith congratulated the three organisations for leading the way in demonstrating that through partnerships, experiences can be shared, good practices distilled and solutions found.
At the end of the day, we want to see more small states drawing down more international financing more rapidly to support low-carbon, climate resilient development," he said.
The Commonwealth has long played a key role in global environmental issues. It was the 1989 Langkawi Declaration on the Environment, a declaration issued by Commonwealth Heads of Government on the issue of environmental sustainability, that influenced the Rio Earth Summit in 1992.
Mr Smith added: The Commonwealth Secretariat has proactively promoted collaboration among the three organisations, and is pleased that this has now resulted in the historic signing of two memoranda of understanding. We shall continue to work with the organisations in developing concrete action plans as the next step in adding value to their efforts.
During the event current and prospective initiatives reflecting the priorities of small island developing states in sustainable development and climate change were discussed. These included issues such as oceans management, financing mechanisms, skills development and training, and youth engagement.
The Executive Director of 5Cs, Dr Kenrick Leslie, thanked the Commonwealth Secretariat for its support of his organisation, particularly in establishing a unit that focuses on the social and economic implications of climate change. This, he said, has contributed to the development of an implementation plan on climate change that has been approved by Caribbean Heads of Government.
Dr Leslie added that the signing of the MOUs would enhance co-operation and knowledge sharing across the regions.
By signing these MOUs, we are demonstrating to the whole world that our regions can come together as one body to address issues affecting us, and how we can help each other through South-South co-operation, he stated.
Speaking on behalf of SPREP, Sefanaia Nawadra, Director of Environment Monitoring and Governance, emphasised the value of partnerships in leveraging new opportunities and by drawing on the strengths of different organisations.
Listening, learning, liaising and leading are the Four Ls we need to adopt in taking forward these partnerships, said Mr Nawadra.
He identified ocean governance, and solid and liquid waste management as two areas which could benefit from regional collaboration.
The IOC Secretary-General, Callixte DOffay, said small island developing states could serve as early adopters of potentially innovative approaches to climate finance, such as debt swaps.
We are making history through signing these memoranda of understanding, and signalling our determination and commitment to shape our future for the betterment of our people. We are crafting and charting a new way forward to ensure that mankind and our islands survive, said Mr DOffay.

Many people are confused about how diamonds are priced. The best explanation is that asking for the price of a diamond is like asking for the price of a house. A real estate agent cant quote you a price for a house without knowing its size, condition, location, etc. This process is the same one used when buying a diamond. A diamonds beauty, rarity, and price depend on the interplay of all the 4Cscut, color, clarity, carat weight.
The 4Cs are used throughout the world to classify the rarity of diamonds. Diamonds with the combination of the highest 4C ratings are more rare and, consequently, more expensive. No one C is more important than another in terms of beauty and it is important to note that each of the 4Cs will not diminish in value over time.
Diamonds can be found in a range of priceand you're certain to find one within the Diamond Quality Pyramid that suits your taste and what you plan to spend. If you're about to buy a Diamond Engagement Ring, you may want to consider spending the commonly accepted guideline of two months salary. But it's up to you to settle on a diamond that will truly represent your deepest emotions and the promise for the future you will share.

Some things I wanna throw out there.
-If we are doing episodes that are as short as 3 minutes, I'd think it would be better if it all came together as one 6-part story instead of these looney toon-esque vignettes.
- As for animation style, we should use Macromedia flash because it can be used for fluid animation while being easily excessible to most computer users and not be a strain on animator's wrists.
- I wont be able to animate mostly because I cant, but I will be able to contribute storyboards.

Oh, the land of Janvs, where alchemy meets wood and water. For those who wield swords with a conscience. Striking down not human life, but the greenery and growth that stands tall in the way of their path. This imagery brought to you in part by time well spent with Fvlgvres.
I was drawn in by the cover art which exudes the kind of snobbish and elitist art gallery BM that I do love so, but instead I fell victim to their slightly paganish take where poetry meets punctuation. I like the speed at which this travels, but it does not break the speed limit. Coincidentally, I had thrown this disc on immediately after a pummeling encounter with a personal favorite self-infliction of mine that goes by the name From The Tumulus Depths by a band called Ravensblood. These two, Fvlgvres and the aforementioned, are night and day, and have absolutely nothing to do with each other except that maybe both parties live in a time where man and beast existed on a level playing field. There are warriors, and then there are the philosophers whose speculative decisions they sought. Janvs are those savants. This is purely for the sake of contrast, and not to odd-ramble you to death with confusion. What I can tell you in plainer terms is that these Italian-lyric-writing Italians (this is why I can't comment on their belief system, etc.) have created a 40-minute or so beautiful little brick house of an album. Paganist metal is not my forte, but I can draw a comparison musically to Drudkh when forced to, and I'm confident that through lashes you readers will school me a bit in the "this sounds like...." department, so the floor is yours soon enough, but it must say something that an album like this can leave a good impression with even one who prefers to circle pit rather than sway contemplatively. Well maybe that's a bit extreme, by no means are Janvs medicated. For one, compositions like "Terzo Volto" show a strength that's far from glacial or sedated with its one or so bpm's shy of what would qualify as an all out blast-beat, but for the majority, the pace is set somewhere between a crawl and power-walking, which shows an impressive amount of restraint since their riffing does at many times lend itself to a rash of blasting. As for the recording, the mix is crisp and has an overall synthetic feel to it in a welcome flipside to the more earthy warmed tones that I've heard chosen for furious folk/pagan projects. This gives an arctic temperature to the electricity, as well as the cinematic acoustic passages that live between the lines and allow breathing room. On the subject of vocals, the approach here is of the "been there done that" sort, as in "I have a throat full of gravel, it makes me mad and sad", but which doesn't imply "bad" and is completely listenable. In fact, nothing about this body of work is particularly technical or imaginative, but apparently neither of these two adjectives are needed to create something liquid and hypnotic. So hence, Fvlgvres.
Grey Metal.
P.S. Those 4.5s are 4.75s in disguise.

Recently PlayStation Vita developer Total_Noob has announced news of TN-V for PS Vita, which will bring forth both XMB and PSN access for users.
6.60 TN-V is a Custom Emulator Firmware (CEF) for the PS Vita. It offers the XMB design and the most important feature: the ability to access the PSN - the SOLUTION for 2.02 UNO owners.
It is still work in progress. There is no release date. There are quite some bugs and I have only little time to work on that.
Below are the full details and video via wololo, to quote: Total_Noob has officially announced his new project: 6.60 TN-V for the PlayStation Vita.
6.60 TN-V is a Custom Emulator Firmware (CEF) for the PSVita 2.02 UNO exploit. Total_Noob's TN-V will be different from his last release (TN-C) as it will include a fully functioning XMB something we saw only briefly in pictures awhile back, however now Total_Noob has a video to show it in action.
TN-V will support PSN access, so you'll be able to connect to the PlayStation Network to download PSP games and access content, something that has been not possible after the mandatory 2.05 update and blocking of the Charles & Fiddler proxies. You'll only be able to connect to the PSP's store since TN-V uses part of the PSP 6.60 firmware (to connect), and we are limited to the PSPemu on the Vita.
There isn't a concrete, established release date yet. TN-V is still a work in progress. Right now the UNO 2.02 exploit is the only targeted exploit, no word if the other exploits will be supported yet. Total_Noob says that there are quite some bugs that ll need to be worked on, however you can see a video of it working below!

When tattling, don't forget to provide specific examples or links to the original work." I interpreted that as that feature should only be used in the case of reporting an unoriginal work. Am I wrong? Care to enlighten me and say that I grossly misunderstood that paragraph? Teach me wise one, for you apparently have all the answers nickolis.
While that is an accurate quote of their answer; to me, the important part is the question, "Someone appears to be breaking the rules of the derby. How do I rat them out?" Are you not, in effect, attempting to make an arguement for why this is breaking a derby rule?

Re: 1966: The Final Frontier
Not going to get into the on-topic debate. I figure if a song from a movie can make it in a poetry derby than this is at least as much on topic. I will say the shifting perspective bugs me. You see the left side peeps from the left and the right side peeps from the right, but there's no change in size to indicate that they're set at different distances or turned to make this right. I also think the shirt color detracts from the design and from the idea that this was supposed to show them on tv (making it somewhat on topic). I kinda wish they'd made a tshirt of an actual scene from an early star trek, but using the peeps. The could've used the green peep for the dancing lady.
It's just a ninja. Someone didn't read the rules of the derby, methinks.
This is so cute! I love it!!
Too cute! Poor little guy!
aerc712 wrote:We'll just have to agree to disagree on this. For me, Star Trek is not something that I could envision including in a class lecture, that's what I based my assessment on. For some people, the first episode of Star Trek might mark an "historical event," but I don't think it does. But, what do I know about history, I'm just in the final stages of earning my second degree in the subject.
Seriously? You're on Woot! and worried about whether or not a shirt depicting an historical event is about a subject that could be taught in class??? It did not say important, just a famous historical event. If one has watched much Star Trek at all, then a very important lesson was taught in almost every episode, Never, EVER go anywhere unknown or remotely dangerous wearing a red shirt, you will die! I learned that and I'm not even a Trekkie.

a breakfast bar saves the day
she writes, "previous owners took down the wall that separated kitchen from the dining room, all that was left was this column. it was 'begging' to be a breakfast bar. we went to home depot to do the estimate on the counter - over $500 for the 2x5 piece of what's-it-called fake marble plus the installation.
we looked at the table-tops at the ikea, as an alternative. we got vika byske in oak. (it's very well made, but it needs to be oiled or polished)
it was installed right on top of the old column, screwed in from the bottom up. it looks great!
cost? $89 for the table top + labor (easy to do if you have the tools)."

wow, looks great, like it had been custom-built!
-Averil Very cool.If you are looking to make it a water safe surface there is a product called Waterlox that is very easy to apply and seals the top perfectly. You won't be able to use it as a butcher block surface but it's basically maintenence free and food safe. I have used on my island top (ikea, as well) and couldn't be happier.

The cream of the crop in Montana high school basketball will gather this weekend in Malta for the annual Hi-Line Invitational boy's basketball tournament.
The annual event, affectionately known as the HIT, is put on by longtime basketball devotee Babes Bishop and will get under way tonight at 5:30 p.m. at the Malta High Gymnasium.
The tournament will feature high school players from across the state of Montana and the teams are comprised of all-stars from each level of classification.
Havre native Cory Brothers will headline a Class A team that features Browning's Kellen Hall, Lewistown's Nate Evans and Derek Taylor, Libby's Kyle Stantus and Aaron Sutton, J.D. Knox of Whitefish, Pat Bailey of Billings Central and Austin Dawes of Hardin. The Class A all-stars will be coached by Kent Paulson of Whitefish and Rollie Sullivan of Sidney.
The Hi-Line will also be well represented on the Class B squad. Harlem stars' Chris Cole, Colby Fetter and Jim Kennedy headline a very talented Class B team that will be coached by Mike Woodman and John Sillitti of Manhattan. The B squad will also feature the Class B state tournament MVP in Cut Bank junior Keithan Gregg, as well as Sam Brelje of Glasgow and Mark Slade of Malta. The rest of the class B stars are David Burdett of Manhattan, Eric Lawrence of Forsyth and Chad Meyers and Luke Redman of Troy.
Big Sandy's Jay Jamieson and Hays-Lodge Pole's Nathan Martin will head up a very talented Class C all-star team that will be coached by Robin Bogar of Joilet. The Class C stars will also feature the state of Montana's leading scorer from the 2003 season in Plenty Coup's Garren Goes Ahead. The rest of the C team features Derrick Johnson of Fairview, Cole Thornton of Lambert, Aspen Kuhen of Ekalaka, Kirby Dengal of Grass Range, Nick Burgess of Ryegate, Ty McDonald of Geyser and Luke Klompin of Manhatten Christian.
The Class AA team is a virtual who's who of Montana high school basketball players. Nick Dissly, who is the MVP of the state champion Bozeman Hawks, will be joined by Bozeman teammate Chris Townley. The AA all-stars will also feature the leading scorer in Class AA this past season in Brian Lynch as well as Bison teammate and MSU-Northern recruit Cody Gillespie. CMR standout Jason Goodman and teammate Zach Danelson will be joined by Kalispell star Colter Smith to round out the AA squad. The AA all-stars will be coached by Tom Storm of Ulm and Roger Hatler of Cascade.
The tournament will be a round robin event with each team guaranteed four games. Tonight's session will begin at 5:30 p.m. and games will follow at 7 and 8:30 p.m. Friday night's session will follow the same schedule as Thursday. Saturday night's final session will begin at 6 p.m. with the three-point and slam dunk contests. The consolation game will tip off at 7 p.m. and the championship game will start at 8:30 p.m.

It happened inside a home under construction at 222 East 62nd Street.
Fire officials say the roof was removed and workers were in the process of adding a fifth floor to the structure when the third and fourth floors partially gave way.
"They were doing some work on a rear wall, which is the backyard. They have some scaffolding set up there and they were removing some brick. In the process of removing some of the brick to put in a steel lintel. The entire rear third wall collapsed onto them," said FDNY Chief Thomas McKavanagh
"So I came outside all of a sudden a bunch of firefighters came out and they went inside the building and 20 minutes later they puled out someone on a stretcher who had a neck brace around his neck," said Olivia O'Driscoll, a neighborhood resident.
Three construction workers were sent by ambulance to the hospital; a fourth showed up on his own.
Their injuries are all said to be non-life threatening.
The city Department of Buildings is investigating.

The Supply Chain Needs Big-Data to Be Fast DataBig-data. We've heard a lot about it recently. With the cloud, social networks, and number of devices mushrooming, the challenges associated with managing, analyzing, and executing decisions based on all this data multiply exponentially, too. The amount of data from all sources being produced on an annual basis is already overwhelming. As this Intel video points out, global data in 2013 is predicted to grow to 2.7 zettabytes (one zettabyte equals 1 billion terabytes) -- or in clearer terms, 500 times more data than "all data ever generated prior to 2003... and it's going to grow three times bigger than that by 2015." Many industry watchers, including Gartner Inc., predict big-data will fuel huge amounts of IT spending. Gartner notes that $28 billion of worldwide IT spending in 2012 is expected to be dog-eared for big-data, and in 2013 that number will jump to $34 billion. Although often seen as its own market needing its own tools, big-data is not a standalone issue. Rather, it is something that affects all corporate data, practices, and software solutions, and soon there will be no distinction between big-data and regular data, according to Gartner:
This is the key phrase: "Big data requirements will gradually evolve from differentiation to 'table stakes' in information management practices and technology." Translation: Companies that incorporate big-data solutions today will be first-movers, which leads to competitive advantages enterprise-wide but also more specifically within their supply chains. One of the biggest challenges facing companies -- at least from a supply chain perspective -- is figuring out how to collect, aggregate, and use unstructured, big-data inputs and convert it into "fast data," or meaningful data that can be used to help make quicker decisions, allocate supply chain resources more efficiently, reduce complexity, or increase agility. But as this Forbes article points out, "The incessantly changing positions of forecasts, orders, shipments and inventory... is complicated enough within the virtual enterprise, and becomes downright overwhelming in the context of global trading networks with multiple tiers of partners trying to manage information changes across unique operating systems."It's obvious, as the Forbes article notes, that all participants in an organization and the broader supply chain ecosystem "need to have access to a shared version of the truth plus the ability to act on this information in real time." Arguably, though, supply chain collaboration is only the starting point. Many practices -- particularly those related to demand planning, inventory management, and order fulfillment -- also have to evolve. And it's just not software tools that have to be upgraded to better deal with the flow of big and fast data. But we'd be fooling ourselves if we ignored the very human aspect involved in all this. Sure, automating supply chain decisions is effective and is probably the longer-term solution. But looking at how the supply chain team thinks about, behaves towards, and reacts to the piles of existing unanticipated, free-form data can't be underestimated either. Maybe, in fact, the big and fast data dilemma is a blessing in disguise -- something that will compel innovative supply chain thinking and create advantages not witnessed before. |

Like most people I was a fan of the Black Ops engine. The screen was perfect and most of all I felt 100% comfortable with my sensitivity, then MW3 was released. I find the MW3 sensitivity to be a tad over the top in speed and general sensitivity. I play on 3 sensitivity and the difference between BO and MW3 is huge, which is now becoming a re-occuring problem for me so I had a little look about the settings when i noticed the HUD Horizontal and Vertical margin lines were fitted perfect to my screen. After a few alterations, I found that reducing the HUD causes me to personally find in-game a lot more stiff and controlled. Don't ask me why or how as I don't know the answer, all I do know is that fully reducing the margin lines so the HUD is more centered helps my personal problem of the MW3 sensitivity being too much. Summary: Instead of putting your Horizontal and Vertical margin lines to the edge of your screen, reduce them fully so there is a visable transparent square on your screen, try it in game and enjoy. I hope this works for you as it has really helped me.
I was on blackops the other day and just realized how much better it feels and looks on your screen, everything just seems a bit bigger feels loads better.
Worth giving a go! Has really helped me out from having the worst shot to now almost killing people @MeeMo
i just tried it and for some reason it seemed alot steadier, i dont see how it effects it at all as the hud is just closer :/
tbh i think its all just mental, like when you think a shit gun is good after you do well with it 1 game. I cant see how it could possibly affect it. But i play like this anyway.
i literally thought that by making them really small that it would be like playing on a smaller screen but i did that n went into a game and it was exactly the same, so what does the margins actually do? cus i dont see the difference on my screen, and everything feels exactly the same even tho both horizontal and vertical are on zero.
I already played with that anyway on mw3 and not on black ops and didnt notice a difference so will look next time im on the game.
i noticed this when i first switched to mw3 from black ops but i've got used to it, its different on mw2 aswell
The game engine as in the Quake engine which they have used from COD1 to MW3 its ajusted and improved each year.

Staining of C57BL/6 splenocytes with Anti-Mouse CD11b FITC (cat. 11-0112) and 0.5 ug of Mouse IgG1 K...View More
Description: The T2.5 monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse and human Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2). Mouse TLR2 is expressed by the myeloid lineage, including macrophage and dendritic cells in splenocytes and the RAW264.7 cell line. To date, at least twelve members of the Toll family have been identified in human and mouse. This family of type I transmembrane proteins is characterized by an extracellular domain with leucine-rich repeats and a cytoplasmic domain with homology to the type I IL-1 receptor. Two of these receptors, TLR2 and TLR4, are pattern recognition receptors and signaling molecules in response to bacterial lipoproteins and have been implicated in innate immunity and inflammation. TLR2 is expressed on the surface of cells and is responsible for distinguishing different pathogens. T2.5 is an antagonistic antibody.

Pope Benedict to Be Honored at Local Mass Wednesday
Allentown Bishop John Barres will celebrate a special Mass for Pope Benedict on Wednesday
A special Mass in Thanksgiving for His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI will be celebrated at the Cathedral of St. Catharine of Siena in Allentown on Wednesday, Feb. 27 at 7 p.m. Diocese of Allentown Bishop John Barres will be the celebrant of the Mass.
Wednesday will be the last full day of Pope Benedict's nearly eight-year papacy. The resignation the Pope announced earlier this month will take effect the next day.
In his statement on the pope's resignation Bishop Barres said, "On behalf of the entire Diocese of Allentown, I offer our prayers to Pope Benedict XVI as he prepares for his well-deserved retirement."
The Wednesday evening Mass will be an opportunity for the people of the Diocese to gather in prayer for the Pope.
The Mass will be open to the public.
9:38 pm on Monday, February 25, 2013
I am praying for the Pope and for his successor. He has been a wonderful leader. Following someone as beloved as John Paul II wasn't easy. I think he as served us well. I do regret however that Bishop Barres will not be able to celebrate my daughter's Confirmation mass at St. Joes this Wed. since he's saying mass at St. Catherine's.

Donations Save the Great Passion Play in Eureka Springs
By: KNWA News via KARK, Little Rock
Updated: January 3, 2013
The President of an Oklahoma-based Christian radio network says it has hit its $75,000 fundraising goal to stop a foreclosure.
The long-running production, involving more than 150 actors and animals, tells the story of Jesus Christ's life and death. Money woes led to the production's collapse in late 2012. The show started in 1968 and has drawn millions of visitors from across the country over the decades.
A spokesman for the Gospel Stations Network says a former cast member donated $5,000 and a resident from Berryville also donated $5,000.
Randall Christy, President of the Gospel Station Network, says the Great Passion Play will open on schedule in May and run a full season which ends in October.
The Carroll County News in late December reported several sources close to the production said the Great Passion Play was in arrears to the tune of $1.2 million and could not make its mortgage and interest payments.
Now that his broadcasting company has saved the show, Christy says he aims to raise $6 million to renovate and expand the production.
Christy plans to hold a news conference at noon on Thursday at the amphitheater in Eureka Springs to announce more details of his organizations plans for the future.
Update (January 2):
A donation drive underway to save the Great Passion Play in Eureka Springs from foreclosure still needs money by noon today to keep the long-running production going.
Organizers say $7,500 is needed to satisfy the bank and it's seeking donations up until the last second.
Click here to donate to the cause.
Original story (January 1):
The clock is ticking down on the future of the Great Passion Play in Eureka Springs (Carroll County).
The Northwest Arkansas attraction has fallen on financial hard times. It was facing foreclosure at midnight Monday, but an effort to save continues through Wednesday.
According to Randall Christy, president of the Gospel Station Network, the group spearheading the effort to save the play, they are $50,000 toward their goal of $75,000.
If they are able to stop the foreclosure, Christy says the season will begin in May without missing a beat.
The Gospel Station Network is based in Ada, Oklahoma. Its website says they've partnered with the Passion Play for this drive in an effort to save the play for "our children and grandchildren."
The Passion Play production dates back to 1968.

New Start for Arkeia: an Interview
Network Backup vendor Arkeia has an infusion of cash, a new CEO and marketing chief, a move back to a former headquarters, and a new version with a virtualization client. Linux Magazine Online had the opportunity to interview Bill Evans, Arkeia's new CEO, and Frederic Renard, the new VP of marketing.
Linux Magazine Online: How did you come to moving Arkeia's headquarters back to Paris?
Evans: Arkeia has all these years been a U.S.-French company. In its founding year 1996 the headquarters was in San Diego. Then a French investor brought in 10 million dollars and headquarters was moved to Paris. Arkeia is now returning to its original location.
LMO: How many years were things run out of France?
Renard: Altogether four years, from 2004 to 2008.
LMO: What dollar figure is bringing Arkeia back to the U.S.? Who is the investor?
Evans: The exact figure has not been communicated, but it's a private equity syndicate, that's all we can say. In any case most of the previous money went into development, for which we are very thankful. But that was the problem: the company had technicians, but practically no marketing and sales people, so that far too few people got to know our products.
Renard: Yes, but we've always been very strong and well known in the Linux market. Arkeia currently runs on 130,000 platforms, 100,000 of which are Linux platforms. And meant are not only SLES and RHEL, we actually support distributions like Debian, CentOS and Ubuntu, with no commercial support to back them up. That's absolutely unique.
LMO: What was the effect of moving workplaces back to France?
Evans: Well, not everyone works permanently for Arkeia Some of the developers that work at Arkeia are freelance and some of the work is outsourced.
LMO: How many developers have and will work for Arkeia?
Renard: We had about 25 and we plan to stay with that.
LMO: Will the development stay in France?
Evans: We don't tell our developers where they have to live. That's one of the biggest advantages of distributed development, its flexibility. Linux is one of the best examples of how it works. We now have two locations, San Diego and France, and we already have plenty of outside distributors and Arkeia customers in 70 countries.
LMO: How would you define your strategy?
Evans: We have great cutting-edge technology products, but lack brand awareness. Our brands aren't taken seriously enough in the market, not even in the Linux area. We intend to change that.
LMO: Does Open Source play a role in your considerations?
Evans: We've thought about it, we do think about it, but today we're not an Open Source company.
Renard: However, our developers are contributing a lot to the Open Source community, a lot of code flows into it. There's especially MySQL, and we also freely provide individual packages, for example, for the tape libraries.
LMO: With your new version 8 of Arkeia Network Backup you offer a vitual backup appliance. Do you see virtualization as part of your strategy?
Evans: Yes, of course. Linux users are early adopters, they'll be the first to adopt virtualization. Linux is known for coexisting; Windows is not that fond of coexisting. When we started off, Linux was disruptive because it redefined an existing market. In the same way we think that virtualization is disruptive.
LMO: The new virtual appliance from Arkeia supports the commercial virtualization ESX and ESXi from VMware. Are you planning to support further virtualization solutions?
Renard: Yes, soon to come are Xen, KVM and Microsoft.
Evans: WMware has a current 70% hold on the market, so it's clear that it should be the first to come. And Microsoft has a lot of money. Once they begin marketing their virtualization, it should have a big effect on the market.
Renard: We're putting a lot of weight on the ovf format, it's flexible so we're not dependent on any specific vendor.
Evans: Arkeia has always been a technological pioneer in that regard, I'll have to say. Arkeia Network Backup provides data security in three variants: first as classic software, then we've had the physical appliance for over a year, that's pretty new. Back then we introduced a VMware-based virtual appliance that customers could use to check the functionality of the physical appliance. On the basis of this experience we can now provide the virtual appliance as our turnkey third variant, which makes us the very first to do so worldwide.
Renard: With version 8 of VMware ESX Hypervisor we'll be supporting the 130th backup platform.
LMO: When will Arkeia Network Backup version 8 be coming to market?
Evans: Beta test is in progress and the release to market is planned for March. I'm sure we can hold to that target date.

One of a pair of shooters at a highschool in Colorado. He and his pal Dylan Klebold showed up at school late on April 20, 1999, when they arrived they planted propane bombs in the cafeteria, by the soda machines. The had the bombs set to go off at 1:17. afterward they went to the hill to watch the mayhem persue, ready to pick off the people who ran out of the building with their guns. They also had a bomb set in the car that they arrived in. when the times for the bombs to go off arrived, neither did. If the bombs had gone off, the death toll would have been in the hundreds.
As the approached the building, readying themselves for the task at hand, they took OFF their trench coats and pulled out their weapons (ill say which later) as the events occured 15 people died that day. 14 students and one teacher. 2 of the students were of course themselves, which they killed themselves in the liabrary. They were armed with Pipe bombs, sawed off shotguns, an array of knives, a TEC-9, and a 9mm rifle The events spawned a game called SCMRPG! or known as super columbine Massacre RPG! which is still for download somewhere. (i would suggest it, it is a rather fun game and relieves stress) it is really controversial though, but does not contain blood. it is more of a documentary, while the second half of the game is really more for fun though, as the characters are in hell fighting demons, and a southpark version of satan. I can't think of a cool thing to say for Dylan Klebold, but hey, it was fun to play the game though.

A fantastic player at counter strike, who gained fame after he pwned 12 students with headshots in de_columbine. I want to be on Dylan Klebold's Team
