text:
When Stilicho seemed to abandon his sovereign in the unguarded palace of Milan, he had probably calculated the term of his absence, the distance of the enemy, and the obstacles that might retard their march. He principally depended on the rivers of Italy, the Adige, the Mincius, the Oglio, and the Addua, which, in the winter or spring, by the fall of rains, or by the melting of the snows, are commonly swelled into broad and impetuous torrents. But the season happened to be remarkably dry: and the Goths could traverse, without impediment, the wide and stony beds, whose centre was faintly marked by the course of a shallow stream. The bridge and passage of the Addua were secured by a strong detachment of the Gothic army; and as Alaric approached the walls, or rather the suburbs, of Milan, he enjoyed the proud satisfaction of seeing the emperor of the Romans fly before him. Honorius, accompanied by a feeble train of statesmen and eunuchs, hastily retreated towards the Alps, with a design of securing his person in the city of Arles, which had often been the royal residence of his predecessors. * But Honorius had scarcely passed the Po, before he was overtaken by the speed of the Gothic cavalry; since the urgency of the danger compelled him to seek a temporary shelter within the fortifications of Asta, a town of Liguria or Piemont, situate on the banks of the Tanarus. The siege of an obscure place, which contained so rich a prize, and seemed incapable of a long resistance, was instantly formed, and indefatigably pressed, by the king of the Goths; and the bold declaration, which the emperor might afterwards make, that his breast had never been susceptible of fear, did not probably obtain much credit, even in his own court. In the last, and almost hopeless extremity, after the Barbarians had already proposed the indignity of a capitulation, the Imperial captive was suddenly relieved by the fame, the approach, and at length the presence, of the hero, whom he had so long expected. At the head of a chosen and intrepid vanguard, Stilicho swam the stream of the Addua, to gain the time which he must have lost in the attack of the bridge; the passage of the Po was an enterprise of much less hazard and difficulty; and the successful action, in which he cut his way through the Gothic camp under the walls of Asta, revived the hopes, and vindicated the honor, of Rome. Instead of grasping the fruit of his victory, the Barbarian was gradually invested, on every side, by the troops of the West, who successively issued through all the passes of the Alps; his quarters were straitened; his convoys were intercepted; and the vigilance of the Romans prepared to form a chain of fortifications, and to besiege the lines of the besiegers. A military council was assembled of the long-haired chiefs of the Gothic nation; of aged warriors, whose bodies were wrapped in furs, and whose stern countenances were marked with honorable wounds. They weighed the glory of persisting in their attempt against the advantage of securing their plunder; and they recommended the prudent measure of a seasonable retreat. In this important debate, Alaric displayed the spirit of the conqueror of Rome; and after he had reminded his countrymen of their achievements and of their designs, he concluded his animating speech by the solemn and positive assurance that he was resolved to find in Italy either a kingdom or a grave.
The loose discipline of the Barbarians always exposed them to the danger of a surprise; but, instead of choosing the dissolute hours of riot and intemperance, Stilicho resolved to attack the Christian Goths, whilst they were devoutly employed in celebrating the festival of Easter. The execution of the stratagem, or, as it was termed by the clergy of the sacrilege, was intrusted to Saul, a Barbarian and a Pagan, who had served, however, with distinguished reputation among the veteran generals of Theodosius. The camp of the Goths, which Alaric had pitched in the neighborhood of Pollentia, was thrown into confusion by the sudden and impetuous charge of the Imperial cavalry; but, in a few moments, the undaunted genius of their leader gave them an order, and a field of battle; and, as soon as they had recovered from their astonishment, the pious confidence, that the God of the Christians would assert their cause, added new strength to their native valor. In this engagement, which was long maintained with equal courage and success, the chief of the Alani, whose diminutive and savage form concealed a magnanimous soul approved his suspected loyalty, by the zeal with which he fought, and fell, in the service of the republic; and the fame of this gallant Barbarian has been imperfectly preserved in the verses of Claudian, since the poet, who celebrates his virtue, has omitted the mention of his name. His death was followed by the flight and dismay of the squadrons which he commanded; and the defeat of the wing of cavalry might have decided the victory of Alaric, if Stilicho had not immediately led the Roman and Barbarian infantry to the attack. The skill of the general, and the bravery of the soldiers, surmounted every obstacle. In the evening of the bloody day, the Goths retreated from the field of battle; the intrenchments of their camp were forced, and the scene of rapine and slaughter made some atonement for the calamities which they had inflicted on the subjects of the empire. The magnificent spoils of Corinth and Argos enriched the veterans of the West; the captive wife of Alaric, who had impatiently claimed his promise of Roman jewels and Patrician handmaids, was reduced to implore the mercy of the insulting foe; and many thousand prisoners, released from the Gothic chains, dispersed through the provinces of Italy the praises of their heroic deliverer. The triumph of Stilicho was compared by the poet, and perhaps by the public, to that of Marius; who, in the same part of Italy, had encountered and destroyed another army of Northern Barbarians. The huge bones, and the empty helmets, of the Cimbri and of the Goths, would easily be confounded by succeeding generations; and posterity might erect a common trophy to the memory of the two most illustrious generals, who had vanquished, on the same memorable ground, the two most formidable enemies of Rome.
The eloquence of Claudian has celebrated, with lavish applause, the victory of Pollentia, one of the most glorious days in the life of his patron; but his reluctant and partial muse bestows more genuine praise on the character of the Gothic king. His name is, indeed, branded with the reproachful epithets of pirate and robber, to which the conquerors of every age are so justly entitled; but the poet of Stilicho is compelled to acknowledge that Alaric possessed the invincible temper of mind, which rises superior to every misfortune, and derives new resources from adversity. After the total defeat of his infantry, he escaped, or rather withdrew, from the field of battle, with the greatest part of his cavalry entire and unbroken. Without wasting a moment to lament the irreparable loss of so many brave companions, he left his victorious enemy to bind in chains the captive images of a Gothic king; and boldly resolved to break through the unguarded passes of the Apennine, to spread desolation over the fruitful face of Tuscany, and to conquer or die before the gates of Rome. The capital was saved by the active and incessant diligence of Stilicho; but he respected the despair of his enemy; and, instead of committing the fate of the republic to the chance of another battle, he proposed to purchase the absence of the Barbarians. The spirit of Alaric would have rejected such terms, the permission of a retreat, and the offer of a pension, with contempt and indignation; but he exercised a limited and precarious authority over the independent chieftains who had raised him, for their service, above the rank of his equals; they were still less disposed to follow an unsuccessful general, and many of them were tempted to consult their interest by a private negotiation with the minister of Honorius. The king submitted to the voice of his people, ratified the treaty with the empire of the West, and repassed the Po with the remains of the flourishing army which he had led into Italy. A considerable part of the Roman forces still continued to attend his motions; and Stilicho, who maintained a secret correspondence with some of the Barbarian chiefs, was punctually apprised of the designs that were formed in the camp and council of Alaric. The king of the Goths, ambitious to signalize his retreat by some splendid achievement, had resolved to occupy the important city of Verona, which commands the principal passage of the Rhætian Alps; and, directing his march through the territories of those German tribes, whose alliance would restore his exhausted strength, to invade, on the side of the Rhine, the wealthy and unsuspecting provinces of Gaul. Ignorant of the treason which had already betrayed his bold and judicious enterprise, he advanced towards the passes of the mountains, already possessed by the Imperial troops; where he was exposed, almost at the same instant, to a general attack in the front, on his flanks, and in the rear. In this bloody action, at a small distance from the walls of Verona, the loss of the Goths was not less heavy than that which they had sustained in the defeat of Pollentia; and their valiant king, who escaped by the swiftness of his horse, must either have been slain or made prisoner, if the hasty rashness of the Alani had not disappointed the measures of the Roman general. Alaric secured the remains of his army on the adjacent rocks; and prepared himself, with undaunted resolution, to maintain a siege against the superior numbers of the enemy, who invested him on all sides. But he could not oppose the destructive progress of hunger and disease; nor was it possible for him to check the continual desertion of his impatient and capricious Barbarians. In this extremity he still found resources in his own courage, or in the moderation of his adversary; and the retreat of the Gothic king was considered as the deliverance of Italy. Yet the people, and even the clergy, incapable of forming any rational judgment of the business of peace and war, presumed to arraign the policy of Stilicho, who so often vanquished, so often surrounded, and so often dismissed the implacable enemy of the republic. The first moment of the public safety is devoted to gratitude and joy; but the second is diligently occupied by envy and calumny.
The citizens of Rome had been astonished by the approach of Alaric; and the diligence with which they labored to restore the walls of the capital, confessed their own fears, and the decline of the empire. After the retreat of the Barbarians, Honorius was directed to accept the dutiful invitation of the senate, and to celebrate, in the Imperial city, the auspicious æra of the Gothic victory, and of his sixth consulship. The suburbs and the streets, from the Milvian bridge to the Palatine mount, were filled by the Roman people, who, in the space of a hundred years, had only thrice been honored with the presence of their sovereigns. While their eyes were fixed on the chariot where Stilicho was deservedly seated by the side of his royal pupil, they applauded the pomp of a triumph, which was not stained, like that of Constantine, or of Theodosius, with civil blood. The procession passed under a lofty arch, which had been purposely erected: but in less than seven years, the Gothic conquerors of Rome might read, if they were able to read, the superb inscription of that monument, which attested the total defeat and destruction of their nation. The emperor resided several months in the capital, and every part of his behavior was regulated with care to conciliate the affection of the clergy, the senate, and the people of Rome. The clergy was edified by his frequent visits and liberal gifts to the shrines of the apostles. The senate, who, in the triumphal procession, had been excused from the humiliating ceremony of preceding on foot the Imperial chariot, was treated with the decent reverence which Stilicho always affected for that assembly. The people was repeatedly gratified by the attention and courtesy of Honorius in the public games, which were celebrated on that occasion with a magnificence not unworthy of the spectator. As soon as the appointed number of chariot- races was concluded, the decoration of the Circus was suddenly changed; the hunting of wild beasts afforded a various and splendid entertainment; and the chase was succeeded by a military dance, which seems, in the lively description of Claudian, to present the image of a modern tournament.
In these games of Honorius, the inhuman combats of gladiators polluted, for the last time, the amphitheater of Rome. The first Christian emperor may claim the honor of the first edict which condemned the art and amusement of shedding human blood; but this benevolent law expressed the wishes of the prince, without reforming an inveterate abuse, which degraded a civilized nation below the condition of savage cannibals. Several hundred, perhaps several thousand, victims were annually slaughtered in the great cities of the empire; and the month of December, more peculiarly devoted to the combats of gladiators, still exhibited to the eyes of the Roman people a grateful spectacle of blood and cruelty. Amidst the general joy of the victory of Pollentia, a Christian poet exhorted the emperor to extirpate, by his authority, the horrid custom which had so long resisted the voice of humanity and religion. The pathetic representations of Prudentius were less effectual than the generous boldness of Telemachus, and Asiatic monk, whose death was more useful to mankind than his life. The Romans were provoked by the interruption of their pleasures; and the rash monk, who had descended into the arena to separate the gladiators, was overwhelmed under a shower of stones. But the madness of the people soon subsided; they respected the memory of Telemachus, who had deserved the honors of martyrdom; and they submitted, without a murmur, to the laws of Honorius, which abolished forever the human sacrifices of the amphitheater. * The citizens, who adhered to the manners of their ancestors, might perhaps insinuate that the last remains of a martial spirit were preserved in this school of fortitude, which accustomed the Romans to the sight of blood, and to the contempt of death; a vain and cruel prejudice, so nobly confuted by the valor of ancient Greece, and of modern Europe!
The recent danger, to which the person of the emperor had been exposed in the defenceless palace of Milan, urged him to seek a retreat in some inaccessible fortress of Italy, where he might securely remain, while the open country was covered by a deluge of Barbarians. On the coast of the Adriatic, about ten or twelve miles from the most southern of the seven mouths of the Po, the Thessalians had founded the ancient colony of Ravenna, which they afterwards resigned to the natives of Umbria. Augustus, who had observed the opportunity of the place, prepared, at the distance of three miles from the old town, a capacious harbor, for the reception of two hundred and fifty ships of war. This naval establishment, which included the arsenals and magazines, the barracks of the troops, and the houses of the artificers, derived its origin and name from the permanent station of the Roman fleet; the intermediate space was soon filled with buildings and inhabitants, and the three extensive and populous quarters of Ravenna gradually contributed to form one of the most important cities of Italy. The principal canal of Augustus poured a copious stream of the waters of the Po through the midst of the city, to the entrance of the harbor; the same waters were introduced into the profound ditches that encompassed the walls; they were distributed by a thousand subordinate canals, into every part of the city, which they divided into a variety of small islands; the communication was maintained only by the use of boats and bridges; and the houses of Ravenna, whose appearance may be compared to that of Venice, were raised on the foundation of wooden piles. The adjacent country, to the distance of many miles, was a deep and impassable morass; and the artificial causeway, which connected Ravenna with the continent, might be easily guarded or destroyed, on the approach of a hostile army These morasses were interspersed, however, with vineyards: and though the soil was exhausted by four or five crops, the town enjoyed a more plentiful supply of wine than of fresh water. The air, instead of receiving the sickly, and almost pestilential, exhalations of low and marshy grounds, was distinguished, like the neighborhood of Alexandria, as uncommonly pure and salubrious; and this singular advantage was ascribed to the regular tides of the Adriatic, which swept the canals, interrupted the unwholesome stagnation of the waters, and floated, every day, the vessels of the adjacent country into the heart of Ravenna. The gradual retreat of the sea has left the modern city at the distance of four miles from the Adriatic; and as early as the fifth or sixth century of the Christian æra, the port of Augustus was converted into pleasant orchards; and a lonely grove of pines covered the ground where the Roman fleet once rode at anchor. Even this alteration contributed to increase the natural strength of the place, and the shallowness of the water was a sufficient barrier against the large ships of the enemy. This advantageous situation was fortified by art and labor; and in the twentieth year of his age, the emperor of the West, anxious only for his personal safety, retired to the perpetual confinement of the walls and morasses of Ravenna. The example of Honorius was imitated by his feeble successors, the Gothic kings, and afterwards the Exarchs, who occupied the throne and palace of the emperors; and till the middle of the eight century, Ravenna was considered as the seat of government, and the capital of Italy.
The fears of Honorius were not without foundation, nor were his precautions without effect. While Italy rejoiced in her deliverance from the Goths, a furious tempest was excited among the nations of Germany, who yielded to the irresistible impulse that appears to have been gradually communicated from the eastern extremity of the continent of Asia. The Chinese annals, as they have been interpreted by the earned industry of the present age, may be usefully applied to reveal the secret and remote causes of the fall of the Roman empire. The extensive territory to the north of the great wall was possessed, after the flight of the Huns, by the victorious Sienpi, who were sometimes broken into independent tribes, and sometimes reunited under a supreme chief; till at length, styling themselves Topa, or masters of the earth, they acquired a more solid consistence, and a more formidable power. The Topa soon compelled the pastoral nations of the eastern desert to acknowledge the superiority of their arms; they invaded China in a period of weakness and intestine discord; and these fortunate Tartars, adopting the laws and manners of the vanquished people, founded an Imperial dynasty, which reigned near one hundred and sixty years over the northern provinces of the monarchy. Some generations before they ascended the throne of China, one of the Topa princes had enlisted in his cavalry a slave of the name of Moko, renowned for his valor, but who was tempted, by the fear of punishment, to desert his standard, and to range the desert at the head of a hundred followers. This gang of robbers and outlaws swelled into a camp, a tribe, a numerous people, distinguished by the appellation of Geougen; and their hereditary chieftains, the posterity of Moko the slave, assumed their rank among the Scythian monarchs. The youth of Toulun, the greatest of his descendants, was exercised by those misfortunes which are the school of heroes. He bravely struggled with adversity, broke the imperious yoke of the Topa, and became the legislator of his nation, and the conqueror of Tartary. His troops were distributed into regular bands of a hundred and of a thousand men; cowards were stoned to death; the most splendid honors were proposed as the reward of valor; and Toulun, who had knowledge enough to despise the learning of China, adopted only such arts and institutions as were favorable to the military spirit of his government. His tents, which he removed in the winter season to a more southern latitude, were pitched, during the summer, on the fruitful banks of the Selinga. His conquests stretched from Corea far beyond the River Irtish. He vanquished, in the country to the north of the Caspian Sea, the nation of the Huns; and the new title of Khan, or Cagan, expressed the fame and power which he derived from this memorable victory.
The chain of events is interrupted, or rather is concealed, as it passes from the Volga to the Vistula, through the dark interval which separates the extreme limits of the Chinese, and of the Roman, geography. Yet the temper of the Barbarians, and the experience of successive emigrations, sufficiently declare, that the Huns, who were oppressed by the arms of the Geougen, soon withdrew from the presence of an insulting victor. The countries towards the Euxine were already occupied by their kindred tribes; and their hasty flight, which they soon converted into a bold attack, would more naturally be directed towards the rich and level plains, through which the Vistula gently flows into the Baltic Sea. The North must again have been alarmed, and agitated, by the invasion of the Huns; * and the nations who retreated before them must have pressed with incumbent weight on the confines of Germany. The inhabitants of those regions, which the ancients have assigned to the Suevi, the Vandals, and the Burgundians, might embrace the resolution of abandoning to the fugitives of Sarmatia their woods and morasses; or at least of discharging their superfluous numbers on the provinces of the Roman empire. About four years after the victorious Toulun had assumed the title of Khan of the Geougen, another Barbarian, the haughty Rhodogast, or Radagaisus, marched from the northern extremities of Germany almost to the gates of Rome, and left the remains of his army to achieve the destruction of the West. The Vandals, the Suevi, and the Burgundians, formed the strength of this mighty host; but the Alani, who had found a hospitable reception in their new seats, added their active cavalry to the heavy infantry of the Germans; and the Gothic adventurers crowded so eagerly to the standard of Radagaisus, that by some historians, he has been styled the King of the Goths. Twelve thousand warriors, distinguished above the vulgar by their noble birth, or their valiant deeds, glittered in the van; and the whole multitude, which was not less than two hundred thousand fighting men, might be increased, by the accession of women, of children, and of slaves, to the amount of four hundred thousand persons. This formidable emigration issued from the same coast of the Baltic, which had poured forth the myriads of the Cimbri and Teutones, to assault Rome and Italy in the vigor of the republic. After the departure of those Barbarians, their native country, which was marked by the vestiges of their greatness, long ramparts, and gigantic moles, remained, during some ages, a vast and dreary solitude; till the human species was renewed by the powers of generation, and the vacancy was filled by the influx of new inhabitants. The nations who now usurp an extent of land which they are unable to cultivate, would soon be assisted by the industrious poverty of their neighbors, if the government of Europe did not protect the claims of dominion and property.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (October 13, 2011) – Riding a two-match winning streak, the ETSU volleyball team looks to keep the streak alive this weekend with Atlantic Sun contests against Stetson and Florida Gulf Coast.
The Bucs open the weekend against Stetson on Friday at 6 p.m. inside the Edmonds Center before closing out the trip on Saturday against Florida Gulf Coast at 7 p.m. at Alico Arena.
ETSU is coming off a thrilling five-set victory against Wofford at home on Tuesday night, its second straight win after defeating North Florida on Saturday.
In the victory against Wofford on Tuesday night, ETSU senior Kiley Tamblyn (Torrance, Calif.) recorded a career-high 31 digs – the most digs by an ETSU student-athlete since November 11, 2008 when Jen Niece recorded 35 digs. The Bucs used a balanced effort to down the Terriers as five players recorded double-digit kills, led by Megan Devine's (Kingsport, Tenn.) 16 kills.
Devine continues to lead the Bucs in kills at 4.15 per set, which ranks her second in the Atlantic Sun. In addition, her 4.52 points per set also rank second in the league. Senior Jamie Stancliff (Advance, N.C.) remains the league leader in blocks at 1.21 per set. Stancliff needs just 47 more blocks to place 10th on the Atlantic Sun career blocks list. As a team, ETSU continues to lead the league in blocks at 2.20 per set.
ETSU is a perfect 10-0 all-time against Stetson, including a 3-1 victory against the Hatters at home last season. Meanwhile, the Bucs are just 2-4 all-time against Florida Gulf Coast. ETSU defeated FGCU 3-0 in Johnson City last year.
For fans unable to attend the contests in Florida, live stats will be available for both matches. In addition, the match against Florida Gulf Coast will be shown on ASun.TV.
Scouting the Opponents
Stetson enters Friday's match with a 5-12 overall record on the season, including an 0-5 mark in A-Sun play. The Hatters are coming off a victory against Savannah State on Tuesday. Stetson dropped a pair of A-Sun contests over the weekend against Mercer and Kennesaw State. Stetson is led on the offensive end by Kaley Melville with 3.15 kills per set, while also ranking third on the squad with 2.34 digs per set. Monique Russell tops the Hatters in digs at 3.78 per set. Stetson has been strong behind the service line, ranking third in the Atlantic Sun in service aces at 1.57 per set.
Florida Gulf Coast heads into the weekend with a 10-8 overall record on the season, including a 4-1 mark in A-Sun play. The Eagles most recently defeated South Florida in a non-conference match and split A-Sun matches against Mercer and Kennesaw State. FGCU defeated Mercer in five-sets on Friday before falling to Kennesaw State in three-sets on Saturday. Like Stetson, Florida Gulf Coast is a strong serving team. The Eagles rank second in the league in service aces with 1.72 per set. Jill Hopper leads the way individually for FGCU as she leads the team in kills (3.06 p/s), service aces (0.46 p/s) and points (3.79 p/s).

Inferno is the first part of The Divine Comedy, written by Dante Alighieri between 1308 and his death in 1321. The poem, which is composed of three canticas (or "cantiche") — Inferno (Hell), Purgatorio (Purgatory), and Paradiso (Paradise) — is widely considered the central epic poem of Italian literature and one of the greatest literary works of human kind.
Canto I: Dante Astray in a Wood[edit]
- "Midway upon the journey of our life,
I found myself within a forest dark,
For the straight foreward pathway had been lost."
- ...so full was I of slumber at that point where I abandoned the true way.
- ...so did my soul, which still was flying, turn back to look again upon the pass which never had a living person left.
- ...and she has a nature so malign and evil that she never sates her greedy will, and after food is hungrier than before.
Canto II: Beatrice[edit]
- And as is he who unwills what he willed, and because of new thoughts changes his design, so that he quite withdraws from beginning, such I became on that dark hillside: wherefore in my thought I abandoned the enterprise which had been so hasty in the beginning.
- Thy soul is hurt by cowardice, which oftentimes encumbereth a man so that it turns him back from honorable enterprise.
- I come from a place whither I desire to return.
- One ought to fear those things only that have power of doing harm, the others not, for they are not dreadful.
- I am made by God, thanks be to Him, such that your misery toucheth me not, nor doth the flame of this burning assail me.
- ...and when he had moved on, I entered along the deep and savage road.
Canto III: The Gate of Hell[edit]
- Per me si va ne la città dolente,
per me si va ne l'etterno dolore,
per me si va tra la perduta gente.
Giustizia mosse il mio alto fattore:
fecemi la divina potestate,
la somma sapienza e 'l primo amore.
Dinanzi a me non fuor cose create
se non etterne, e io etterno duro.
Lasciate ogni speranza, voi ch'entrate
- Through me you go to the grief wracked city; Through me you go to everlasting pain; Through me you go a pass among lost souls. Justice inspired my exalted Creator: I am a creature of the Holiest Power, of Wisdom in the Highest and of Primal Love. Nothing till I was made was made, only eternal beings. And I endure eternally. Abandon all hope — Ye Who Enter Here
- Variant translation: 'Through me the way to the suffering city; Through me the everlasting pain; Through me the way that runs among the Lost. Justice urged on my exalted Creator: Divine Power made me, The Supreme Wisdom and the Primal Love. Nothing was made before me but eternal things And I endure eternally. Abandon all hope - You Who Enter Here.'
- Variant Translation: 'I am the way into the city of woe. I am the way to a forsaken people. I am the way into eternal sorrow. Sacred justice moved my architect. I was raised here by divine omnipotence, primordial love and ultimate intellect. Only those elements time cannot wear are beyond me, and beyond time I stand. Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here.'
- Note: Full inscription on the top of the gate.
- This miserable measure the wretched souls maintain of those who lived without infamy and without praise. Mingled are they with that caitiff choir of the angels, who were not rebels, nor were faithful to God, but were for themselves. The heavens chased them out in order to be not less beautiful, nor doth the depth of Hell receive them, because the damned would have some glory from them.
- These have no hope of death... mercy and justice disdain them. Let us not speak of them, but do thou look and pass on.
- ...behind it came so long a train of folk, that I could never have believed death had undone so many.
- This way a good soul never passes...
- Abandon all hope, ye who enter here...
Canto IV: First Circle[edit]
- Dark, profound it was, and cloudy, so that though I fixed my sight on the bottom I did not discern anything there.
- ...I come into a region where is nothing that can give light.
- ...Let us die into the big blind world.
Canto V: Second Circle, Paolo and Francesca[edit]
- ...no hope ever comforts them, not of repose, but even of less pain.
- Amor, ch'al cor gentil ratto s'apprende
- Translation: Love, that on gentle heart doth swiftly seize.
- Amor, ch'a nullo amato amar perdona
- translation: Love that exempts no one loved from loving in return
- There is no greater woe than in misery to remember the happy time, and that thy Teacher knows.
Canto VI: Third Circle[edit]
- ...new torments and new tormented souls I see around me wherever I move, and howsoever I turn, and wherever I gaze.
Canto VII: Fourth Circle[edit]
- ...not without cause is this going to the abyss; it is willed on high...
- Justice of God! Who heapeth up so many new travails and penalties as I saw? And why doth our sin so waste us?
- Vain thought thou harborest; the undiscerning life that made them foul, to all recognition now makes them dim.
- ...for all the gold that is beneath the moon, or that ever was, of these weary souls could not make a single one repose.
- O creatures foolish, how great is that ignorance that harms you!
- But now let us descend to greater woe. Already every star sinks that was rising when I set out, and too long stay is forbidden.
- Fixed in the slime, they say, 'Sullen were we in the sweet air that by the Sun is gladdened, bearing within ourselves the sluggish fume; now we are sullen in the black mire.' This hymn they gurgle in their throats, for they cannot speak with entire words.
Canto VIII[edit]
- With weeping and with wailing, accursed spirit, do thou remain, for I know thee although thou art all filthy.
- Fear not, for no one can take from us our onward way, by Such an one it is given to us. But here await me, and comfort thy dejected spirit and feed on good hope, for I will not leave thee in the nether world.
Canto XXIV[edit]
- Without fame, he who spends his time on earth leaves only such a mark upon the world as smoke does on air or foam on water.
- Get up! breathe with the soul, for it is brave in every battle, and will always win, unless the heavy body be its grave.
Canto XXVI: Ulysses[edit]
- ...né dolcezza di figlio, né la pieta
del vecchio padre, né 'l debito amore
lo qual dovea Penelopé far lieta,
vincer potero dentro a me l'ardore
ch'i' ebbi a divenir del mondo esperto,
e de li vizi umani e del valore...
- Nor fondness for my son, nor reverence for my old father, nor the due affection which joyous should have made Penelope, could overcome within me the desire I had to be experienced of the world, and of the vice and virtue of mankind...
- Considerate la vostra semenza:
fatti non foste a viver come bruti,
ma per seguir virtute e conoscenza.
- Consider well the seed that gave you birth: you were not made to live as brutes, but to follow virtue and knowledge.

White House press secretary Jay Carney engaged in a rare back-and-forth with GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney from the podium of his briefing room on Wednesday.
Carney, who hasn't mentioned Romney by name in almost a month, was asked to comment on the former Massachusetts governor's condemnation of the Obama administration's new contraceptive coverage plan, after he slammed it Tuesday as an "an assault on religion."
Noting that Massachusetts has the same contraceptive requirements and exceptions for churches as the proposed national rule, Carney called Romney an "odd messenger" for criticism.
"The services that this rule would provide for women around the country are the same that are provided in Massachusetts and were provided under when he was governor, including contraception, including covered with no co-pay or deductible, and a religious exemption for houses of worship and churches and to church-controlled organizations such as parochial schools, but not to universities and hospitals."
"This is, I think, ironic that Mitt Romney is… criticizing the president for pursuing a policy that's virtually identical to the one that was in place when he was governor of Massachusetts," Carney said.
Carney has lately avoided criticizing the presumptive Republican frontrunner by name, responding to reporters' questions about him only in general terms. He last mentioned "Governor Romney" in a briefing on January 12th, when he noted Romney's opposition to the federal automobile bailout.
But Romney, who has made President Obama his chief target since announcing his presidential bid, shot back immediately at Carney, saying the spokesman should "check his history" and that the Massachusetts law mandating contraceptive coverage was put in place before he was governor and that he "worked very hard to get the legislature to remove all of the mandated coverages, including contraception." (The White House noted that Carney did not, however, say Romney was responsible for the policies, only pointing out that they existed under his tenure).
Romney did, in fact, veto a bill in 2005 that sought to expand access to the emergency contraception pill by allowing pharmacists to dispense it without a doctor's prescription. But the bill became law anyway after a wide statehouse majority overrode the veto.
Just a few months later, however, Romney's public health commissioner ruled that Catholic and other privately run hospitals could opt out of the new law, which prompted Romney to say that he believed rape victims should always have access to emergency contraception.
"My personal view, in my heart of hearts, is that people who are subject to rape should have the option of having emergency contraception or emergency contraception information,'' he said at the time according to the Boston Globe.

Dethroned: The Top 5 Championship Upsets in UFC History
(Oh, this? Just the face of a man who knows he's about to be chewed out by the Wheaties people. via Getty.)
By Scott Johnson
UFC 185 was a very interesting anomaly in the world of MMA, in which two incumbent champions were dethroned by the challengers who were considered underdogs going into the fight. Carla Esparza was only considered a slight favorite heading into her fight with Joanna Jedrzejczyk so the surprise there was minimal, but there weren't many people expecting to see Rafael Dos Anjos topple Pretty Tony Pettis. Hell, most of us were already looking forward to Pettis vs. Nurmagomedov, but the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry, and now the UFC Lightweight division has a new champion in its mix.
In the spirit of these events, I've compiled what I consider to be the top five upsets in UFC championship history. I have no doubts that there will be a difference in opinion as to which fights belong here or which order they should be in, but in the words of the great Oskar Schindler, "Fuck you, it's my list and I'll put who I want on it."Read More DIGG THIS

Sheyenne Shuffle Changes Course with 10K
The Sheyenne River Valley National Scenic Byway know is a beautiful place and every year, the Sheyenne Valley Shuffle gives runners a chance to see that beauty up close.
"That's what we talk about with the runners when they go on the bus," said race director Mary Lee Nielson. "They talk about the byway."
But this year, the race is changing its format and will give runners a chance to see a different stretch of the byway than in previous years.
The Shuffle takes place August 25 at Valley City State University's Lokken Field, and registration is currently taking place both online at active.com and at the Rosebud Visitor Center.
Aside from the timing of the race, which usually takes place in September, the biggest changes to the race this year are the distance of the main race, as well as a change in route.
Instead of a half marathon running from Baldhill Dam, as in previous years, this year's race is being run as a 10K, partially to acknowledge the byway's 10th anniversary.
"It's just kind of a fun thing to do for our 10th anniversary," Nielson said.
There is also a 5K race that goes through Valley City and a kiddie race that are also part of the festivities.
The 10K will have busses take runners to the start, south on highway 21, 6.2 miles away from the stadium. The runners will finish by running down 8th Ave SW and into Lokken Stadium.
The 5K will leave the stadium and go around Valley City, including a brief stretch along Main St., and a portion through city park. The route is different than previous years, Nielson said.
"Being a race director, it's kind of a nice route because you have a lot of roads that don't have roads coming from both ways, so you don't have to watch as many intersections," she said. "It's really one of the safer routes we've ever run."
One thing that didn't change? The start, which will be announced at each race by a cannon.
The registration cost currently is $25 for the 5K and $35 for the 10K online. All money raised goes towards replacing the interpretive panels along the byway.
Nielson said she's hoping for 100 people between the two races, which start at 9 a.m. (10K) and 9:45 a.m. (5K) and hopes to get VCSU students involved by offering a discount for runners from the college.
With the registration fee, runners will get a t-shirt and other goodies from local sponsors. 10K runners also will get a decorative item for hanging medals, made locally by Malach Sheet Metal.
"We have wonderful sponsors and that makes all the difference when people help you out," Nielson said.

Sean from Seattle could not be more stylish in this outfit. He's working the chunky knit scarf, relaxed trench and worn-in Clark desert boots (plus a rolled-cuff in his jeans). He looks hip without looking forced and this is a spot-on outfit for guys this fall. Change it up to suit your personality, but all the elements are there.
Here are some options for you or your man:
Love this look, guys and so many of the pieces are classic. You'll be able to wear the boots and trench for years to come.
Shop this look locally in Denver/Boulder at:

Beginner Puerh
I hope this isn't a repeated topic. I went through two pages of results from searching 'puerh' and didn't find a discussion like this. (Which is odd because I could have sworn I had read one here before..)
Anyway, I want to try a puerh tea some time soon and have been trying to decide what one to try first. What companies/teas do you think would be good for someone who has never had puerh before?
Something that is a good representation of the type and from a reputable place.
Thanks for your help.
I am interested in this too! Thanks for asking the crew…
To be honest, I haven't tried this one, but it looks good:
They don't have a lot of selection, but it sounds like they are very discriminating, and that they don't sell musty, moldy, earthy tasting pu-erh (in fact, they say those have likely been aged improperly!).
This company has tons of info. on pu-erh (see http://hojotea.com/article_e/puerh_e.htm)
Here is the price list: http://www.hojotea.com/item_e/available
Just email Mr. Akira Hojo: [email protected] and he'll get right back to you.
Hope that helps!
I would suggest trying the Sticky Rice Pu Erh Toucha from Chicago Tea Garden. It is absolutely amazing.
The first time I tried puerh, I picked up a box of Numi Mint Puerh Organic Green Tea. I got it at Whole Foods, if you have one of those close. I kind of hedged my bets a bit with picking one that also was a green tea, but overall I liked it very much and thought it was great for a late afternoon tea. :-)
I would also recommend Numi Chocolate Pu-Erh, Golden Dragon, or Nor Sun. The later two I have found at Asian markets. Also Foojoy has bagged Pu-Erh that is quite amazing for the price…4 dollars for a hundred bags. I would glady share some of mine if you would like. Teavana's blends are ok but that's if you like it flavored and I favor straight up earthiness. So far my favorite is the Imperial Pu-Erh from Dr. Tea. A little more pricey but well worth it. I've also had a Scotish Carmel Pu-Erh that I got from a little tea shop in PA, but I think you can get it at the English Tea store, and enjoyingtea.com carries.
I'd recommend this Pu-Erh Toucha. It's a good overall representation of Pu-Erh, and a great tea. It's what I'm currently drinking.
For developing a taste for Puerh, my recommendation would be to start with flavored.
A couple from Rishi are excellent.
Puerh Ginger and Vanilla Mint
I, too, started with Pu-erh Tuocha (http://www.teasetc.com/details.asp?prodid=0801) and enjoy several of the Rishi Pu-erhs. Currently, I am working my way slowly through pu-erh samples sets from http://www.lifeinteacup.com/tea-samples. Next, I am planning on trying the sample sets from http://www.banateacompany.com/pages/puerh_teas.html. My strategy as a pu-erh novice is to try various sample sets (as you can tell) – this lets me sample a variety of different pu-erhs while trying to develop a taste/knowledge of them without a commitment to a large quantity.
we are about to send out our newsletter with instructions on getting free samples, we have a few good beginner puerhs to try. So you can try our puerh for free if you sign up before the newsletter goes out.
I would suggest finding 1 old sheng, 1 new sheng, and 1 shu.
Old sheng is pricy, but hey it gives you an idea. Essence of Tea is excellent for that. Maybe email them with what flavors you like and they can pick one out! As far as young sheng goes, I started out on the Yi Wu mtn bamboo roasted puerh from Norbu. The flavors are super sweet, but it still gives the astringency that younger shengs have. For shu, I personally say either the V8 or V98 from Menghai (under the Dayi label). You can find these at puerhshop.com, and other places too. Just remember with shu, look for a year or two old, otherwise the wo dui (fermentation) smell will still be there
Very well said Brian

Families took advantage of a sunny day and a light breeze to spend time together Easter Sunday in an untraditional way.
DAYTONA BEACH — Families took advantage of a sunny day and a light breeze to spend time together Easter Sunday in an untraditional way.
A steady stream of brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers and at least one grandfather and his grandson spent the day zipping through the trees at Tuscawilla Park, which sports three courses of zip lines, rope bridges, swinging steps and ladders that wiggle and move with each step.
"You ought to try it instead of just observing," said Darwin Branan, 76, who brought his 10-year-old grandson Ethan Thomas to the park.
Branan was a first-timer but Ethan, who is visiting South Daytona from Chattanooga, Tenn., has been on a ropes course before.
"I was wondering," Branan said, letting the sentence drift off. "It's really not to scary. There is a lot of clipping and unclipping" of safety ropes that prevent falls, he noted.
Zoom Air Daytona Beach, a Sanford-based company, is a city of Daytona Beach tenant with a 10-year contract that entitles the city to 10 percent of annual gross revenues up to $1.5 million in ticket sales. Percentages rise to 15 percent of revenues when sales climb between $1.5 million and $2 million, and 20 percent over $2 million.
The city has received more than $10,000, ahead of pace for the roughly $20,000 anticipated by the operation's one year anniversary in July, said city Leisure Services Director Percy Williamson late last year.
The Stubbs family from St. Augustine, spends every Sunday together. Devon Stubbs, 19, had the idea to try the ropes course.
"I'm afraid of heights, so that first ladder kind of freaked me out," Devon Stubbs said.
Her mother, Robin Stubbs, and father, Stephen Stubbs, teased her for choosing the activity when she's afraid of heights.
"We had friends who went to the beach, but we said, 'not today,' " Robin Stubbs said. "Conquer those fears."
The Horvath family from Sylvania, Ohio, decided to take a break from the beach.
"I think the kids have been looking forward to this more than anything," said Jenny Horvath, the mother of 16-year-old C.J., Baylie, 13, and Camren, 10.
The spirit of teamwork brought about by the courses was a welcome change, said their father, Dan Horvath.
"It's good not seeing them fight all the time," he said. "They are actually helping each other."
Candace Spaulding, 18, of Port Orange has been to other Florida ropes courses but said she prefers the one at Tuscawilla Park, located off of Orange Avenue west of Nova Road.
"The courses are a little bit longer," she said. "I believe this is one of the more creative ones with the obstacles, and the zip lines are longer."
Spaulding tackled her first course three years ago.
"I'm actually afraid of heights," she said. "I like the adrenaline rush. It's a good workout, but you don't really have to be that athletic."
The veteran advised waiting for others to go first for those who want the luxury of taking their time.
"There's nothing worse than being pressured when you're in the middle of those ropes," Spaulding said.

Interview - Sam Gribben of Serato
Serato's General Manager talks straight about NS7 and what it means for DJs
NUMARK: Serato has had tremendous success with Scratch Live. Why did you develop ITCH?
SAM GRIBBEN: A lot of us here at Serato are die-hard turntable fans, but a few years back we had a conversation about what the future of DJing might look like. Vinyl is going to be around for a long time, I have no doubt about that, but if you look into the distant future, things will be different. I think that controller-based DJing is going to be a big part of that future.
NU: How did the partnership with Numark come about?
SG: I remember meeting with Numark's Jack O'Donnell at the NAMM show 3 or 4 years ago, to discuss the possibility of collaborating on a controller designed specifically for use with Scratch Live. From there, we got talking about the ideas of making dedicated controllers, and when we came up with the ITCH concept, Numark was an obvious choice.
NU: If someone is a Serato Scratch LIVE user, what can they expect when they start using Serato ITCH with NS7?
SG: ITCH and Scratch LIVE are built on the same core, so someone using NS7 for the first time will notice the same quality in tracking the platters, and the resulting audio precision. They'll also be able to use their existing Scratch LIVE library, and all their crates, cue points, and loops will show up in ITCH.
NU: Can someone download and use ITCH without anything else?
SG: Yes! The ITCH software is available for free from numark.com/ns7 and serato.com. Anyone can download it and use it as a media player and library organizer. Then, connect NS7 and ITCH becomes a full-fledged DJ application, giving you have full control over the music in your library.
NU: What does Serato software offer for DJs that sets you apart from your competition?
SG: At the core of the ITCH concept is the idea that the DJ shouldn't need to ever think about how the software and the hardware interact – that's the job of the engineers that design the product. When you buy NS7, and take it home, you can be rocking tunes in minutes. There is no annoying authorization or set up that the DJ needs to go through. When you're performing on NS7, you never need to think about what a button on the hardware is going to do when you push it… everything is clearly labeled, and does what it says it does. The hardware and the software are engineered to be a perfect match.
NU: Some people may be confused about the difference between Serato Scratch LIVE and ITCH. How do they differ?
SG:There are two big differences. The first is that Scratch LIVE is controlled by audio from external device, for example a turntable or CD player, whereas ITCH is controlled by dedicated, purpose-designed controller, NS7. The second is that in Scratch LIVE, all mixing is done in the DJ mixer, but in ITCH, the mixing is done in software.
NU: What do you see as the most significant feature or ability that NS7 and ITCH offers for DJs?
SG: NS7 is packed with features, but it's the platters that really stand out for me. I don't think anything out there will come close to the responsiveness of NS7.
NU: Are you planning any features in the future that would take specific advantage of NS7 and let DJs do things only possible with this system?
SG: The partnership between Serato and Numark has already broken plenty of new ground, and I expect that to continue, but we can't spill the beans just yet!
NU: Many people use Serato Scratch LIVE software for performing today. Do you see NS7 shifting that balance in favor of ITCH?
SG: NS7 has a superb layout, with every feature within easy reach. DJs who found they could move quickly with Scratch LIVE are going to be blown away by NS7.
NU: If you could look into the future, what do you think you'd see in terms of where DJ software is going for software and hardware tools?
SG: I think the future lies in hardware and software companies working together to engineer a product that best meets the need of the DJ. The DJ's job is to entertain the dance floor, and they shouldn't be concerned with getting their gear to work. I think that once DJs get used to the idea that they can get solid performance out of a software-and-controller combination, we'll start to see some interesting ideas come out of R&D labs around the world. We certainly have our fair share of ideas that we'd like to see make it to the market.

Mac sales in the enterprise during Apple's last fiscal quarter grew a whopping 66 percent, significantly outpacing the rest of the PC market, which grew just 4.5 percent in the enterprise. The data from Apple's previous fiscal quarter was highlighted on Friday by analyst Charlie Wolf with Needham & Company. He said though he originally viewed success in the enterprise as a "one-quarter blip," it now appears to be a "durable platform" for Apple.
