Chapter One0 Reviews
Part one of Tales of Destiny. Fifteen years after the events of Earthbound, an embittered and broken Ness is approached by an enigmatic figure and given a mysterious mission.
He stands, the highway extending for miles in either direction. The time has come.
"Come get me" he mutters quietly. The volume is irrelevant-they would have heard him were he on the far side of the universe.
They appear then, melting out of the ground and the rocks. The rain falls on them too, illuminating their otherwise invisible edges. Creatures of pure darkness, they circle him slowly, a mass so large that it is hard to tell where one ends and another begins. This too was irrelevant-they are here only to watch, all save one.
The one he has been waiting for steps out now, separating from the circle of creatures. It is as one of them, but more solid, more real. Its body ripples with both magic and muscles. It is clear that this is the greatest of the dark things, a mighty force that only the powerful may reckon with. It speaks.
"So, Ness of Onett, it appears that you've managed to make yourself into a greater thorn in my side then I anticipated."
Ness jerked awake as the dream ended. His ragged breathing stabilized, and his heartbeat slowed to normal speed. Slowly he sat up in his bed-if you could call it that- and shook his head.
What the hell's happening to me? He wondered. For the past few weeks he'd been having the same dream, over and over again. The road, the rain, the circle of dark beasts, and then the one solitary creature, powerful and dangerous.
Abruptly, there was a knocking on the motel room's door. He started, and then slowly moved towards the door, rubbing his stubble-covered chin. The dream had unnerved him. He reached up and looked through the peep-hole.
"Who's there?" he asked nervously. He could see a man in a long coat.
"Can I come in?" The man at the door asked.
"Who are you?" Ness called back, suddenly nervous.
"A messenger. Can I come in?" The man outside replied insistently. Ness was nervous, but could see no real reason to keep this man outside in the rain, so he undid the bolt and jerked the door open.
"What's your message?" he asked the imposing figure, wanting to know what the man as here for.
"It's very short." The man, whose coat was wet and dangling from his shoulders, assured him. "It will begin tomorrow at midnight."
Ness started.
"If you want to know, travel west until you reach the city." The man began smiling the self-centered smile of one who knows more then he's telling. "And now, if you'll excuse me, I am needed elsewhere. Don't forget, midnight, in the city." The strange man turned to go.
"Wait!" Ness called, confused. He dashed forwards, hoping to catch the messenger, but he was already gone. Ness looked around, confused.
"Where did he go?" he wondered aloud, searching vainly for the man who had come and gone like the wind.

Such a British thing to put words on things like this. I'm a real sucker for it.
Use a big kitty litter bucket with a lid. Save your money! Also, not very green to mail order from UK!
Charlotte, we also have UK readers.
I can never get over how tiny all these kitchen compost bins are.
Of course you do (Brit readers) So sorry!
I agree about the tiny buckets. That's why I use an empty kitty litter bucket. Fits under the sink and comes with a lid and a handle. These are invaluable around the house & garden. My neighbor plants her tomatoes in them. My kitties have passed away, alas, but the kitty litter buckets live on.

Taking in Dazzling Designs at the Islamic Center in Washington, DC
As you're passing each country's contribution to the landscape on Embassy Row, you may be surprised to see what looks like a minaret rising up on the horizon. This building, which appears to have been airlifted from the Middle East, is the Islamic Center. It features a crenelated courtyard complete with Arabic script and an mosque inside. Once you've taken off your shoes you step onto the soft carpets where you'll be transported by the dazzling designs that await inside. Light streams in through the patterned windows as you gaze upwards to the geometric patterns of the ceiling. The mosque features wood carvings, painted tiles, and stone work from all over the Islamic world. You can't help but be arrested by the enchanting designs that surround you here.

Even in Washington, DC, where hypocrisy rules, Republican Scott DesJarlais of Tennessee stands out.
The so-called "social conservative pressured a former lover — a woman he impregnated while married — to have an abortion.
Then divorce proceeding from his wife revealed she had two abortions while they were married.
DesJarlais, a a rabid right-winger, campaign against divorce and supports legislation to try and make the procedure illegal in America.
Even worse, Republican leaders in Congress look the other way at the various scandals of his career and keep hm on the Agriculture Committee and even the Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
Several Republicans are helping the ethics-challenged Congressman in fundraising, including three who head Congressional committees: Darrell Issa of California, John Kline of Minnesota and Frank Lucas of Oklahoma.
Issa spokesman Fredrick Hill says:
Congressman DesJarlais's hard work and outstanding contributions to congressional oversight on issues ranging from the devastating impact of Obamacare on small business to job-killing regulations in Tennessee have earned him Chairman Issa's support. Chairman Issa looks forward to continuing to work with Congressman DesJarlais as he pursues the best interests of his district and our nation.
Congressional sources tell Capitol Hill Blue that the real interest of DesJarlais lies to everyone about his habit of lying in bed with different women.
"He's a tail chaser," says one Congressional staffer who asked not to be identified.
Back in Tennessee, voters may not be so willing to forgive and forget. DesJarlais faces tough primary opposition in a redrawn district and opponents say they will use the Congressman's sexual exploits against him.
"He lied. That's about all you can say," says Liz Holiway, a Tennessee GOP state executive committeewoman.
Still, the hardcore support of the hypocritical Republican leadership in Washington will give the incumbent some financial advantages.
One Response to "Republican hypocrisy: Supporting womanizer Scott DesJarlais"
The GOP has a long established reputation of cheating on their wives and then working to develop a new list of prohibitions to control their women.
The voters have always had the power to unseat these Republicans. But at this time, the GOP presents no choices that would represent the voters. CPAC landed a real winner in bring Gov. Palin back to the Party.
Promiscuity would never be a problem if the GOP would either stop legislating against women or keeping the pants on.
As long as these men beg for and get forgiveness for their sins, their sins will continue. It is no concern of mine but it would be a better nation if we kept social choices to ourselves.

Can't Match This Retailer
Chad is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
I'm sure many people heard that Target (NYSE: TGT) made the decision to offer price matching year round. The company said that they would match prices offered by Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN), Walmart (NYSE: WMT), Best Buy (NYSE: BBY), and ToysRUS. While on the surface this sound like a great move to make sure they don't lose sales, there are two big problems that Target might be inviting by making this offer.
As most people know, Target has become sort of the higher-end Walmart for many customers. The company's name has even been played with in mainstream America and is pronounced Targe' or Tarjay. According to the Urban Dictionary website, this word play "aims to make the shopping experience seem more upscale than it really is." While the Urban Dictionary seems to suggest that Target isn't as upscale, there are millions of shoppers that seem to disagree.
Target didn't get the nickname Tarjay by offering the lowest prices on everything all the time like Walmart tries to. The company's brand identity is prices that are competitive with Walmart, but in a better environment, with better clothing selection, and better housewares options. The company has brought in big name designers to do special sales at the store, and these specials usually cause a compete sellout of whatever the designer offers. Target also isn't afraid to tell Amazon where they can stick it. Make no mistake about it, Target's decision to stop carrying the Kindle Fire lineup was a calculated shot at Amazon. Given that Target is still growing despite not having the cheapest prices, what is the company thinking by offering this price match option?
The price match option is more complicated than it seems, and it also brings the focus right where Target doesn't want it -- to Amazon and Walmart. If you look at the gross margins of these four large retailers, Target easily leads the way. Take a look at both the current and historical gross margins of Target compared to their competitors.
(author calculated from Yahoo Finance financial statements)
You'll notice two things from this table. First, Amazon is the only one that has improved its gross margin relative to their three year average. Second, Target's current gross margin is higher than their competitors by far. This is exactly my point. If customers take advantage of this price match option, they are being told to look at the prices. Instead, Target should act like the Wizard of Oz and say, "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain." Customers don't shop at Target with a laser focus on price, but by offering to match prices the company is trying to make that a focus. Worse, the strategy may not work.
The way Target's price match works is this. A guest has to buy the item at Target first. "If they see the identical item for a lesser price within seven days, Target will match the price." Many guests are going to realize that Target's prices are higher than those of competitors. Why would a guest go to Target, buy an item, and then have to prove that a competitor has a lower price? Why not just buy the item from the lower-priced competitor in the first place? The hassle of finding out if a competitor has a lower price will likely cause more comparison shopping than would happen otherwise. So who wins and who loses with this move?
In my opinion, strangely enough Best Buy might be the worst off. The company is already under attack by Amazon in electronics, and Best Buy already carries the lowest gross margin of the group. If Target has what the customer wants, the store is more convenient than Best Buy. You can go into Target and buy groceries and a television, but you can't go into Best Buy and buy the same items. The fact that customers are already in Target may just save them a trip to Best Buy. I'm personally a huge fan of both stores, but if I can price match at Target, Best Buy is in trouble.
Walmart and Amazon would seem to be the biggest beneficiaries. Both companies offer rock bottom prices, and contrary to popular opinion, Walmart is often equal to Amazon on prices. The difference currently is customers don't pay sales tax in all cases at Amazon. However, the frequency of visits to Walmart gives the company a competitive advantage, and if customers compare Target and Walmart, they are likely to find Walmart slightly cheaper. Amazon comes out ahead because, quite honestly, the fastest way to compare a Target price is to head over to Amazon and compare directly. The ability to download an Amazon app for your smartphone and even use a barcode to find the right item makes this a win for Amazon.
The bottom line for Target is this is not a good plan. Management needs to immediately think about whether this needs to be brought to the public's attention again. A company that doesn't compete on price bringing more attention to their pricing is a bad move. I think Target will do fine, but the more the company trumpets this idea the less confident I would be in the company's future. The faster Target backs away from this the better.

MADISON, Ind. (WHAS11) -- Hey guys, do you know where our drinking water comes from? It does come from the Ohio River but before it comes out of the Ohio it goes through a cleaning process in Madison, Ind.
Monty's second "Do My Job, Monty" was working at the wastewater treatment plant in Madison.
This is the first stop in a six-step process--in turning wastewater into purified water.
Monty spent the day taking readings, checking charts and…cleaning the scum tank among other things. Find out how Monty did by clicking on the video player above.

You can also call the appointment center to schedule, change or cancel an appointment or ask questions.
DMSA renal imaging is used to assess the function of your kidneys and can distinguish between kidney diseases and other disorders affecting the kidneys.
When you arrive for your appointment, you will receive an injection with a small amount of radioactive tracer. You will then be given a return time, which is usually two to three hours later. When you return, a series of images will be taken of your kidneys. This will take approximately one hour. Additional images may be taken if the nuclear medicine physician requests. You should schedule approximately four to five hours for a DMSA renal imaging test.

Any Techno-Geeks Out There (Downloading Advice: TTS)?
I'm trying to obtain a text-to-speech (TTS) program at as low a cost as possible. One I keep running across (which is free and unrestricted) is called Festival Speech Synthesis System. I tried to download it but was unsuccessful. The demos of the voices were decent. Could be better, but for free . . . Then there is a GUI called Carnival that works with Festival. I couldn't figure that out, either. If I can somehow get this stuff, I may still have a shot at using computer-synthesized speech for free, in order to create some audio books. Otherwise, the best I've found is Cepstral: 50 voices for a license fee of $1200, allowing commercial selling (mp3 and wav files). Their license was $200 till a year and a half ago. But that was for only one chosen voice.
Any help in downloading Festival and Carnival or suggestions / recommendations for free or inexpensive TTS programs (i.e., for commercial purposes, not just private use) would be most appreciated.

It looks like Festival is only available as source code. You would have to have a compiler in order to build it. If you've never done that before, or if you don't know what that means, you're probably better off finding something else. Sorry.

I don't have the time this moment, but I will try to compile everything and get it running. If I am able (which I should be), I can send it to you all set to go.

Fantastic, Shane! I'm extremely grateful. If you can do this, I'll send you a set of e-books or a paperback if you like. And I can send you audiobooks for free as I get them up and running. Whatever you like, as a small token of appreciation for your invaluable help . . .

Scary, virus attack. What's your virus program? Any idea of how it got past? I have AVG on my home network, but I am an interntet lightweight.

I have AVG as of today. It was Avast. Both free programs . . .

Actually, I found out today that I can get the license for $200 provided I sell CDs and don't offer downloading o the Internet. So it's quite do-able! The total cost would be $230-260. I have a program called text Aloud that switches text to mp3. May be also another $30 to buy a voice (not sure).
Any luck with that project, Shane?
The advantage there, if it works, would be the ability to offer the audiobooks on the Internet as well, which is a lot easier for me (no extra work, no postage, materials, time spent burning CDs, etc.).

I've been working on it. Unfortunately, it's a little more complicated than compiling things from the internet often is. It's not a big deal, so much as it just takes longer for me to sort it all out.
The main thing that's taking the time is that I needed to download some stuff to proceed with the project (which I've got no problem with), but that this downloading is going *extremely* slowly. It's really a matter of how long it takes the stuff to download at this point.

Thanks so much. Let me know if you'd like one of my books, or the set of e-books, etc.. for all your help.

The Montreal Canadiens acquired defenceman Tomas Kaberle from the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday in exchange for defenceman Jaroslav Spacek.
This season, Kaberle has nine assists in 29 games with the Hurricanes, including four points in his last two games. He has another two years left on a contract that pays him US$4.25 million a year.
"Offensive players are paid in this league and Mr. Kaberle is an offensive player," Canadiens general manager and executive vice president Pierre Gauthier said. "But that's probably the most desirable asset you have; when you have offensive players."
With Andrei Markov on injured reserve after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery and not expected back for at least another six weeks, Kaberle will be called upon to help out with the power-play.
"We feel we have a good team that's competing very well in many areas," Gauthier said. "We have good goaltending, we have good penalty killing, good five-on-five ... but we need a better power-play and with the absence of Mr. Markov, Mr. Kaberle can help us. And then hopefully Mr. Markov will be back soon and they'll both be together to help the power-play."
Canadiens coach Jacques Martin said he believes Kaberle will provide the dominating power-play presence the team hoped Markov would bring.
"Andrei Markov is our quarterback, but he hasn't played a game yet," said Martin. "If we can get better production out of it, maybe that can make a difference."
Upon hearing of the trade Friday morning, Kaberle said he was shocked to hear the news but welcomed a trade back to a Canadian city where hockey is the number one sport.
"Obviously we weren't in a good situation here in Carolina. We've got only 22 points and we have been struggling the last few games," said Kaberle. "I was shocked but when things aren't going well things are going to happen. It started with the coach and now it's me. I'll just do my best in Montreal and hope that I can fit into the lineup."
After a lengthy career with the Toronto Maple Leafs, Kaberle was dealt to Boston last season and helped the Bruins win a Stanley Cup.
"In Boston, he contributed to the Stanley Cup and was able to integrate himself with a good team very well, so we hope that he can integrate himself to this good club as well," said Gauthier.
Canadiens defenceman Hal Gill played two seasons with Kaberle in Toronto and knows what he can bring.
"In Toronto, he was the guy running the power-play and he's a guy who's smooth with the puck. Hopefully he can come here and feel comfortable and play the way I know he can," said Gill.
Spacek will be back playing with former Canadiens assistant coach Kirk Muller, who is now the head coach in Carolina. Spacek was activated from injured reserve on Friday and Muller expects him to play in Winnipeg.
"This deal brings a solid, veteran defenceman to our team for the remainder of this season and allows us more flexibility with our roster moving forward," Hurricanes president and general manager Jim Rutherford said.
In other news, defenceman Frederic St-Denis was assigned to the AHL's Hamilton Bulldogs on Friday.

In the summer of 1851 in London, in the midst of the first international chess tournament, a chess game was played at a tavern not far from the tournament itself. This would eventually become one of the most famous chess games ever played. The two players were Adolf Anderssen and Lionel Kieseritzky, both taking a break from the tournament. Anderssen made bold, sacrificial moves, including sacrificing his bishop, two rooks, and his queen to secure a victory in 26 moves.
Looking for something fun to do in August? Come join us at the Library and learn the game of chess. Research says that chess improves test scores on math and reading!

Legio for PC
GameZone Review Rating Above Average
Legio is a turn-based strategy game for one to two players. The game takes place in a mythical fantasy world where magicians, warriors and monsters battle for domination. Playing Legio is an intense experience, requiring careful strategic thinking, rewarding both courage and cleverness! The game is a mix between chess and a turn-based war game. Both players control an equal army of characters, with the goal of eliminating the other player's army. Learning to play Legio is quite easy, but it is a great challenge to master all the various strategies.

Fauja Singh, 101, the oldest marathon runner in the world, has decided that he has run his last 26.2 miler. Singh reportedly ran his first marathon when he was 89, but even his incredible body can no longer take the strain of the race.
"I recognize that the longer distances are becoming challenging and taking part in races adds pressure on me as I like to be seen to be enjoying myself and not struggling," said Singh recently, according to Metro. "I'm not sad and want to retire at the top. I have achieved all I wanted and there are no more records to be broken." Singh clocked his best marathon time in 2003, when he completed the Toronto race in five hours and 40 minutes.
Singh recently told AFP why he thinks he has stayed in such good shape over his long life. "The reason for my good health is that I exercise daily and follow a proper diet regime," said the Indian-born London-based Sikh. "I take happiness in biggest proportions, though my actual diet is very small."
Singh went on to say he still plans to run four hours a day and want to continue to inspire people. Mr. Singh, we say "More Power to You!"

Pat Buchanan: Will the War Party goad a gullible America into war?
Two Israeli Cabinet members claimed credible evidence. Justice Minister Tzipi Livni said, "It's clear for us that (gas is) being used. ... This ... should be on the table in the discussions."
Yet, 72 hours later, the United States still could not confirm that gas was used, and Syria and Russia have called on U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to investigate whether it was used, and if so, by whom.
What's going on here?
It does not require Inspector Clouseau to surmise this may be a fabrication to stampede the ever-gullible Americans into plunging into Syria to win the war for the al-Qaida-saturated Syrian rebels.
But sucking America into Syria's civil war is only a near-term goal for the War Party, which is after larger game - greasing the skids for a U.S. war on Iran.
And lest we underestimate the War Party, the likelihood is they will get their war. For they have already gotten Obama to make concessions that are steering us inexorably toward such a war.
First, Obama was persuaded to declare it U.S. policy that, where Iran's uranium-enrichment program is concerned, "All options are on the table!" Translation: Absent major concessions by Iran, proving she is not seeking a nuclear weapon, war against Iran is in the cards.
Yet, even as Obama parrots the mantra, "All options are on the table," he has been persuaded to take off the table the option that won the Cold War, the George Kennan option of containment and deterrence.
Obama has been goaded into proclaiming that though America contained an evil empire that spanned 13 time zones and possessed thousands of nukes, containment cannot work with Iran.
Why not? Because the ayatollah, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the mullahs, we are solemnly instructed, are religious fanatics who could easily opt for committing collective suicide should they get a bomb - by using that bomb on us.
This, of course, is to attribute to Iran's leaders an insanity they have never exhibited. Not in memory has Iran started a war. Saddam attacked Iran, not the other way around. When the Vincennes shot down an Iranian airliner, Ayatollah Khomeini himself ordered the Iraq war ended for fear America was about to intervene on Baghdad's side.
Now we come to the sinister role of the U.S. Senate in setting the table for war. Consider what Senate Joint Resolution 65, crafted at AIPAC, the Israeli Lobby, and now being shopped around for signing by Sen. Lindsey Graham and Sen. Robert Menendez, does.
SR 65 radically alters U.S. policy by declaring it to be "the policy of the United States ... to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapons capability and to take such action as may be necessary to implement this policy."
Obama's policy - no nuclear weapons in Iran - is tossed out. Substituted for it in SR 65 is Bibi Netanyahu's policy - "no nuclear weapons capability" in Iran.
Now, as Iran already has that "capability" - as does Germany, Japan, South Korea and other nations who have forsworn nuclear weapons - what SR 65 does is authorize the United States to attack Iran - to stop her from what she is doing now. Yet, according to all 16 U.S. intelligence agencies, Iran does not have a nuclear bomb program.
Critically, SR 65 goes further and "urges that if the Government of Israel is compelled to take military action in self-defense, the United States Government should ... provide diplomatic, military and economic support to the Government of Israel in its defense of its territory, people and existence."
Translation: Should Bibi attack Iran, the Senate urges the U.S. military to join in that attack. SR 65 is a blank check to Bibi to go to war with Iran, with a U.S. Senate commitment to join him.
Coupled with House Resolution 850, which calls for crushing new sanctions, SR 65 is designed to so enrage and humiliate Iran that her delegates walk out of negotiations - and war inevitably ensues.
Here then is War Party calendar and countdown.
First, rule out containment and deterrence of Iran, though that policy won the Cold War. Second, rule in a U.S. war on Iran if Tehran does not yield to all our demands in nuclear negotiations.
Third, ensure the negotiations fail by repeated insults, threats, sanctions, and intolerable demands that so humiliate the Iranians that, enraged, they say "to hell with it" and walk out of the talks.
Then, by default, the last "option" left for dealing with Iran - even if she still has not tested a bomb or enriched uranium to bomb grade - will be U.S. air strikes on Fordow and Natanz, cheered on by a War Party that dreams of this day and that war.
Preventing another generation of war dead delivered to Dover should be the first priority of American patriots.

By Jonathan Turner, email@example.com
The national tour of the classic 1964 musical "Fiddler on the Roof" is extra special to its leads, Jimmy Ferraro and his wife, Dee Etta Rowe. The Broadway veterans play the immortal couple Tevye and Golde, who have been married 25 years, have five daughters, and endure tumultuous changes to their family and way of life in 1880 in the tiny Russian village of Anatevka. "Fiddler" -- coming to the Adler Theatre in Davenport Sunday -- is the first musical they've played opposite each other, and in September, they marked their own 25th wedding anniversary on stage in Lancaster, Penn. "When we sang 'Do You Love Me?,' we were both choked up," Mr. Ferraro said recently. "I have to admit the tears were rolling." In "Do You Love Me?" Golde dismisses Tevye's question, but he keeps persisting. The two come to the realization after raising daughters through good times and bad, and trying to hold onto the traditions of their world, they both suppose they do love each other. Together, they sing:"It doesn't change a thing/ But even so/After twenty-five years/ It's nice to know." "It's fantastic," Mr. Ferraro -- who has done more than 2,000 performances of "Fiddler" in his career -- said. "It's just kind of surreal. The whole cast is just a wonderful bunch of kids. The show is so great; we're getting a great response. We're getting standing ovations." "Tevye is all about family; 'Fiddler' is all about family, the love of his family," he said. "He's a hard worker; he talks to God like he's his best friend. It's the universal appeal of show. It's 48 years old, but you still can relate to it today. What I love about it, it goes through many tragedies, but he always has hope for a bright future. I like to think that's a big part of me, in the role." When his daughters choose suitors who defy his idea of a proper match, Tevye realizes his children will begin traditions of their own. At the story's close, the villagers of Anatevka are forced to leave their homes and even the sturdy customs that have guided everyday life begin to crumble. The musical -- created and choreographed by Jerome Robbins, with songs by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick -- includes the beloved numbers "Sunrise, Sunset," "If I Were a Rich Man," "Matchmaker," and "Miracle of Miracles." "It's not like work. It's very easy," Ms. Rowe said. "Jimmy is Tevye, on and off stage. The whole cast loves him. He's Papa to everybody, and they call me Mama. It's wonderful chemistry we have as a group, which is unusual. It's a very special cast." Mr. Ferraro and his wife met in Florida. He was working at a theater in St. Petersburg, and she came to visit her parents after finishing the national tour of "Sweeney Todd" with Angela Lansbury. Among Ms. Rowe's roles, she was on Broadway in 1979 in "The Most Happy Fella," and was in the original cast of "Nine." Three weeks after the couple met, they got engaged, and they married within nine months. A New York native, Mr. Ferraro was first cast in "Fiddler" (as the rabbi) while enrolled at the University of Southern Florida. At age 19, he decided to leave school. With his first Actors Equity production on his resume, Mr. Ferraro decided to pursue an acting career full time and get training on the job. "Fiddler" has transformed his life. In New York, he auditioned for the first national tour of "Fiddler," with Herschel Bernardi as Tevye, in 1977. Out of over 600 hopefuls, Mr. Ferraro was chosen to join the company by director Jerome Robbins. "I was speechless, shocked, excited -- you name it," he said. For a year, Mr. Ferraro toured the country and learned Yiddish from Fyvush Finkel, a "Fiddler" veteran who became a mentor and lifelong friend. He was later hand-picked by Mr. Robbins -- who also directed/choreographed the original "West Side Story," "Gypsy" and "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" --from the national tour cast for the 1981 Broadway revival, at age 24. Mr. Ferraro called Mr. Robbins, whose original choreography endures in this tour, "the god of American musical theater.With the exception of Lazar Wolf, he has played every father role in "Fiddler on the Roof," and Mr. Ferraro has performed Tevye since 2008. His other New York credits include "Chicago," "Guys & Dolls," "Applause," "Hello, Dolly," "Oliver," "Man of La Mancha" and "Jesus Christ Superstar." Mr. Ferraro and his wife actually did one other "Fiddler" together, where she was Yente the matchmaker, at a dinner theater in Indianapolis in the early '90s. "I have learned a great deal. I'm constantly inspired by the character," he said of the wise, world-weary Tevye, a dairyman. "I'd be thrilled if I could do this part for the rest of my life. When you play Tevye, it doesn't get much better than this." If you go -- What: "Fiddler on the Roof."-- When: Sunday at 7 p.m.-- Where: Adler Theatre, 136 E. 3rd St., Davenport.-- Tickets: $32, $42 and $52, available at the Adler box office, Ticketmaster.com, (800) 745-3000, and all Ticketmaster outlets.

Character Review
The main Living 4th Edition Discussion Thread is getting massive so I thought it prudent with a seperate thread to discuss characters that have been sent to be approved.
Judges and reviewers can post here to let you know when your character has been approved or if there is a problem with your PC that needs to be adressed, and players can respond in turn.

Quick notice:
There's been some confusion about picking languages during character creation, so a paragraph has been added to the language entry on the wiki to note which languages are equivalent for mechanical purposes:
So you don't need, for instance, both Elven and Imperia as seperate languages on your sheet - one if sufficient to communicate in both tongues.Though languages across the Transitive Isles are prolific and usually technically separate, for mechanical purposes consider the following sufficiently equivalent (the background region of your PC determines the exact variation he/she speaks).
Common = Allarian.
Dwarven ~ Magari.
Elven = Eladrin ~ Imperia.
Goblin ~ Hzakan.
Primordial = Elemental ~ Tsugo.

Thanks, Eryndur. We got your submission, but please bear with us, since it takes time to review characters, and there's a bit of a queue at the moment. Feel free to have your character hang out in the Hanged Man in the meantime and even go on adventure (if your DM is okay with that); you just need to be approved before you can be awarded any experience.

Tristan e'Ransiel, Skalisss, and Amicus Nuldico. There are a few more that have feedback and need to make changes before being looked at again.
As for who the approvals need to be from... I think not just anyone. LEW has a system of "trial" character judges that I think we'd do well to copy. Basically you need two approvals, one of which must be from a full character judge and the other can be another full character judge or a trial judge. You become a trial judge by emailing the judges or posting (I guess in this thread?), and if the judges agree, you'd be added to the list. After a while, when we're comfortable that your comments are correct and you don't miss much, we promote you to a full character judge.
At this point, our full char judges are graf, halford, dunamin, garyh, and myself. (cue horrible embarrassment if I missed anyone.) Of those, dunamin is the only one smart enough not to volunteer for all the judging duties, and only does character approvals.
What do people think of this system? Shall we call Ata a trial character judge?
By way of clarification, I'm not at all concerned with Ata judging characters, I'm more thinking about the next guy, and the next, who want to help. We'll certainly need more help as time goes on, if only from the inevitable burnout.

Adam Griffith, the Calhoun High School kicker who is committed to Alabama, could probably help out the Crimson Tide this year.
Alabama suffered a 9-6 loss to LSU in the regular season after Cade Foster and Jeremy Shelley failed to score on four of six field-goal attempts.
Griffith, who kicked a field goal to win the Saturday's Class AA state championship for Calhoun High School, admitted it was tough watching Alabama's loss to LSU. He will sign with Alabama in February and be eligible to play next season.
"Of course, I wish I could've helped the team in that game," Griffith said. "The kicker, Cade Foster, he had a bad night. But those are hard kicks to make, especially when it's cold outside and they are long field goals. I was nervous watching him. I don't know."
Griffith has been a kicking machine at Calhoun. He booted around 65 of 80 kickoffs into the end zone this season. He has a career-long field goal of 55 yards. In the state championship, Griffith kicked four field goals, including the game-winner on Calhoun's first offensive play from scrimmage in overtime. After Buford turned the ball over on a turnover, Calhoun coach Hal Lamb didn't take any chances – sending in Griffith to kick a 32-yarder on first down.
"I guess Coach was confident in me," Griffith said. "I wasn't thinking about anything. I just knew I had to make the kick, so I went out there and made it. I tried not to think about how big of a kick it was. I just thought about kicking an extra point, and that it was no big deal."
Griffith has been a pretty big deal in recruiting circles, picking up early offers from Alabama and LSU, eventually deciding on the Crimson Tide last January. "I get a bunch of letters but I don't even want to look at them," Griffith said. "I was told Georgia was about to offer me, but then they ended up offering some kid from Florida. I mean, I didn't really care because I didn't want to go there anyways. I wanted to go to Alabama. I just feel like that's the best place for me."
Here's what Rusty Mansell, the National Recruiting Analyst for 247Sports, had to say about the state championship star:
"Adam has the strongest leg I have ever seen since I have been covering high school football. Not only can he kick it a mile, he kicks it higher than anyone I have ever covered. I think the thing that separates Adam from other kickers I have seen that are highly rated is that Adam has already shown he can perform in the clutch. Last year in the dome against Buford and this year making those two kicks in the 4th quarter were big time. I filmed Adam kicking a 60-yard FG with no tee and he made it on the first try. Adam will kick in the NFL one day if he continues the path he is on. He is a tremendous young man and very humble about his abilities."

Good luck to the kid. He made his choice and that is fine.
UGA has a pretty decent kicker coming from Cartersville next year so I think we will be alright in that area.

Anybody notice how much wider the hash markers were for the high school kids. No wonder the pros seldom miss. It's just a long extra point with no angles to deal with.

Welcome Aboard Adam! We're glad to have you and certainly need you.

December 12th, 2011
9:23 pm
@just the truth
Here is some truth: the NFL hash marks are tighter but the field is much wider. It negates your point. However, it doesn't prevent pro kickers from missing easily make-able field goals. How do you explain a guy kicking 60-70 yard field goals in high school but can't kick 50 yarders in college? There is no explanation other than mental.
December 12th, 2011
9:25 pm
no cuts necessary, Jacket. Since Ohio State gets two coaching staffs, we thought we'd ask for another 10 scholarships.
December 12th, 2011
9:27 pm
The hash marks are wider in high school, but the goal posts are also wider. In college, the hash marks stay wide, but the goal posts are narrowed to the same width as the pros.
Kid looks to be a great kicker. Good luck.

Congrats to the kid. He will be welcomed in Bamaville with open arms… and may all his wide rights, lefts, and "by that much-es" be against the Dawgs.

Ya DUMMIES!. Also, Stop parting your hair down the middle. It's infuriating enough that you look like you don't give a damn, but when you look that way with your hair parted down the middle, and LSU IS UP 42-10, after outscoring you 35 -0 in one half, well, it's just too damn much to take!

Kid is definitely a great kicker for his size, about 5′ 10″ 170 lbs.
Marshal Morgan the Dawgs kicker from Florida has very similar stats, but about 6′ 2″ and 195 lbs. Will definitely have more power from 30 yard line.
Congrats to both as they both got schollys to were they wanted to go to school.

Why is Richt the Communist Propagandist offering some bozo from his native Florida instead of this talented kid from the State of Georgia?
We need to fire Richt. What is it with this little Communist? His propaganda seems to mesmerize everyone when he don't know a thing about coaching college football.
How long must this BS go on?
This kid is obviously put off because UGA didn't offer him when it was natural to do so….

You must be as high as your chosen handle would imply. How choosing someone from another state could in any way indicate communism on CMR's part is beyond the understanding of anyone with a brain that functions. From your writing it is clear that you also do not understand what the word "Propagandist" even means. If you can find a dictionary you should try to look it up–that should keep you busy for a few hours. YOU are henceforth forbidden to use "dawg" in any handle you post with. To think of you as a Dawg is shameful. Clinically you would be classified somewhere between moron and idiot (a couple more words you should look up). More commonly you will be classified as a Fraking Gooberhead (but only on your best day). Now, back in your hole.

Here is the bad part…they have one of the two best teams in the country because THEY DO RECRUIT BORDER STATES WELL.

State is blessed with two great kickers this year. In addition to Griffith, we also have Austin Hardin, who kicked a 59 yard game winner last year. He is ranked No. 1 in country by ESPN, and will play in Under Armor All American Game. And he is going to Florida. Guess we don't want home grown stars on UGA's kicking team the next 4 years. After all, kicking game is not important!
December 13th, 2011

Best of luck to the young man, but I sure hope it does not turn out to be another case with Saban oversigning and this kid getting the so called, unexpected "gray shirt". The kid is really good. Watched the championship game.
December 13th, 2011
8:33 am
Douglas…I hate to kill a good argument but the fact is, I can count 23kids this year who contributed significantly to BAMA who were from the state of GA. Warmack, Hanks and Menzie. I can count 2 who contributed in 2009 when we won the NCSNC and those are Hanks and Washington.
There is no secret that the state of GA has great talent who Saban will make a run at. We wont get nearly as many as GA gets but we will get one or 2 you guys want and next year we may pull the top 2 players in the state who will both be top 5 in the country. If we win with that, I am ok with it. You need to get the best players and if we have 2 from GA or FL or MS or TN or whereever cool. Its not like UGA is only playing guys from the state of GA.

Robin Ventura on Friday's Home Opener
Wednesday, April 11, 2012
Are you looking forward to the Home Opener?
Yeah, we've been at Spring Training and gone it seems like for a long time, so it's nice to get home and play at home. Openers are always fun, so we're looking forward to it.
Will you bring your family to the game?
Hopefully, my wife will be there. That would be good.
Do you recall your first Major League Opener?
It was very cold, I know that. It was at the old Comiskey. It's always fun, I think anytime you start the year things are optimistic, and people enjoy that. It sounds corny, but there's a little bit of 'Americana' when you come out to the Opener at home; everybody comes out, and all the money and everything. It's fun and I'm looking forward to it.

In November of 1999, the hard rocking anti-establishment band Rage Against the Machine played two shows at the Oakland Coliseum Arena. Graphic artist Winston Smith thought his poster design represented the band perfectly. However, the legal council of Bill Graham Presents took one look at the poster and foresaw lawsuits by the largest corporations in the world. Although the posters were printed, they were never distributed to the public…until now!
In the early 1990s, members of Bill Graham Presents decided to commemorate Bill's legacy with a collection of neckties whose designs were gleaned from swatches of the eclectic and electric poster art of the 1960s and 70s. Created with images from the historic BG Poster Series, they offer a dizzying array of patterns and highlight performers including Led Zeppelin, Cream and Jimi Hendrix.

UNDATED (WKZO) -- Drivers in some parts of Michigan have seen gas prices jump by as much as 35-cents a gallon and they may go even higher.
Analysts are blaming everything from the unrest in Egypt to the steep decline in gold prices for the increase.
Gas Buddy's Patrick Dehaan says its simple crude oil prices are climbing because demand is high and the supply is low, and has been for the last 2 weeks. He says the last two government reports on crude inventories have shown ten million barrel declines.
The national average has risen by four-cents a gallon in the past few days to three-dollars-52-cents per gallon. It's 30-cents higher at gas pumps in west Michigan.

Eau Claire (WQOW) - Four candidates will be interviewed in the search for a new top cop in Eau Claire.
One will travel from as far away as Alaska while another lives in Eau Claire. All four men will sit down with the Eau Claire Police and Fire Commission, a citizen board that has the task of selecting the new chief.
Steven Hebbe of Anchorage, Alaska, Maurice Richards from Chicago, Jerry Staniszewski of Eau Claire and David Zibolski from DeForest, Wisconsin have all been invited to interview. Staniszewski serves as a deputy chief for the Eau Claire Police Department. He's been with the force for many years.
Jerry Matysik, the former police chief, retired earlier this month after 10 years as the head of the force.
The commission will outline its next steps following the interviews. It hopes to have a new chief in place by the end of the year.
