Oh My God
The story of some guys and Lucifer!
Hardcore bunny killing action.
Try to escape by finding keys, items and solving puzzles!
LOL! The best part was Fire Man's response and the explosion right afterwards. That is great comedy!
Hi im the new robot master Gas man Oh god get away from me BOOM!!! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL :D
fucking pointless
That was totally expected dude.Gas + Fire \ Boom.'Nuff said.
The idea for this one was quite an improvement from the first 2 although the pace and sense of timing was a bit better it still could've been a bit better. Great comedy in it but still could be a little more into a parody, a great improvement I see though.

Arts Theater Is Not Virtuous
posted by October 25 at 10:31 AMon
KUOW's Marcie Sillman is doing a multi-part series on Seattle theater that is mostly harmless, if superficial.
But one theme in her series really gives me hives. There is nothing, zero, zip, zilch, nada, null set, NOTHING virtuous about attending live theater. There is nothing secret or mystical about the connection between audiences and performers. A bad night of theater is no more salutary than a bad night of TV. It's that kind of snotty, self-righteous attitude that turns people off theater. (Well, that and the terrible productions they're being asked to improve themselves upon.)
I would also like to bitch about one more thing, which is this edition of Weekday, a lazy compilation of the Marcie Sillman stories supplemented by live commentary by Misha Berson. Steve Scher is incompetent. With about five seconds before break, he invited a guy to talk about On the Boards and the risks it takes (a theme notably missing from the rest of the show). The poor guy got about as far as "Spalding" before Scher cut him off with something like "That's great, you like On the Boards. Onto the break!" Obnoxious.
In closing, I would like to say, duh, theater is competing with the internet and movies. But don't expect me to feel sorry for you, Mssrs Artistic Directors. Make me excited to get out of the goddamn apartment.

Pheasant cordon bleu
Contributed by: Dave Zabel from Bristol, Conn.
Serve with roasted red potatoes, and fresh blanched asparagus. Add a glass
of your favorite wine and enjoy. Makes four servings.
4 boneless pheasant breasts, skin on or off
4 slices Swiss cheese
4 thin slices prosciutto or sliced pepperoni olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary leaves, minced (or substitute ½ teaspoon dried
Salt and pepper
1. Lightly pound pheasant breast flat between wax paper sheets or in a zip bag.
2. Place a piece of the cheese on the pheasant breast then a piece of prosciutto.
3. Brush on a little olive oil over breasts. Sprinkle garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper on top.
4. Roll the breast tightly then secure with a toothpick.
5. Brush more olive oil on the top to help prevent drying out during
6. Place rolled breasts in a lightly buttered baking dish.
Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 45 minutes.
Editor's note: If you don't have any prosciutto or pepperoni in the fridge, try it the traditional way with ham. A sprinkling of breadcrumbs over the cheese will keep it from running out of the meat when melted. To further
keep the breasts from drying out, add about ½-inch of chicken broth to the pan and cover after lightly browning. Depending on the thickness of the pheasant breasts, cooking time may be considerably less than 45 minutes.

Thanks for Robert Channell tribute
Published: Friday, January 2, 2004 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 1, 2004 at 11:00 p.m.
Dear Editor: During the pre-game ceremony before the LSU game, the University of Alabama and the state of Alabama honored Chief Warrant Officer Robert Channell by presenting a flag to his wife, Joyce, daughter, Bethany, as well as other family members. Rob was killed in Iraq in April. I was very proud of the manner in which the university conducted the ceremony. If you were there, you too would have gotten chills the way the 85,000 in attendance reacted to the presentation of the flag. A special thanks to Rep. Spencer Bachus and his wife for their assistance, the University of Alabama band and Finus Gaston and his staff.
Rob would have been proud, as we all were. Thanks to UA and the thousands of Alabama and LSU fans for the honor.

I tell you... I used this product with my last litter. Well, it ended up a singleton but he was in perfect health. She had a healthy pregnancy and LOVE this product. I am using it for this next litter. If it turns out anything like the last I will never go without it! Thank you!
Rhonda Jones
I breed Springers. My dam would normally be in labor for well over 24 hours. When the first pup was born it could be 18 hours later when the last was born. The litter I started her on these she was in labor (early stages) I called my friend to stay with her while I went to work as I knew we had a LONG time before she would have pups. NOT! I received a phone call at 10 am that she had her first one! This process was cut in half at least!!! I love this product! She is pregnant again and has been taking it since she bred! I am not going to work this time when I know she has started!!!
I breed French Bulldogs that require C-sections and used this product with my recent litter. Pups were strong, no runts! Mom had lots of milk, woke right up after surgery alert and ready for her pups and some food. Mom also looks great, not skinny or malnourished. She is now on Oxy-momma. I will not have another litter without these products!
We fed Oxy Mate as directed through our girl's pregancy. We haven't had so easy a delivery in over 30 years of breeding. I could barely call it "labor." Eight healthy puppies, at home, with no complications. I'm a lifetime fan of Oxy Mate, and of course am now using Oxy Mama.
I have little yorkies , I found giving them oxy-mate made the pups much stronger and healthier when born . I am a firm believer in this product .

The only problem I have with this recipe is the amount of honey indicated. I cut the sugar in half and used part unbleached white. Opted for a medley of dried fruit: dates, blueberries, cranberries, tart cherries. Hazelnuts and pecans for walnuts. I was expecting this to taste dry with all that whole wheat flour but surprisingly it was not. Delicious with a slather of cream cheese!
It tastes amazing! Thanks so much for this recipe!
This is wonderful stuff, and totally guilt free. I make mine in a bundt pan. It's the only banana bread I ever make. Just as good as the fattening kind.
I had mixed thoughts about this bread...on the one hand I liked it but on the other I found that the banana and the orange flavours didn't go quite well together.
Delicious! A hearty flavor filled loaf with wonderful old fashioned taste. I added the optional 1/2 cup currants. The honey, bananas and orange made for flavor plus. I needed extra baking time but ovens vary so it is just a matter of using the old 'tooth pick test' We all enjoyed, definitely a repeatable. Filed with the keepers! Thank you for sharing.
A wonderful moist, flavorful bread--dense and hearty, just the way I like it. I used half regular whole-wheat flour (graham type) and half white whole-wheat; skipped the optional raisins/currants. I did have to bake quite a bit longer, but I opted for an 8 1/2 X 4 1/2-inch pan and think I should have chosen a 9 X 5. I would suggest making this bread a day in advance, as it was good the day it was baked, but even better the next day. The honey gives it wonderful moistness, and I loved the orange flavor. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

David Bowie: Invisible New Yorker
New York Times
January 16, 2016
About 10 years ago, the playwright John Guare got a call asking if he wanted to meet David Bowie to discuss a theater project.
As Mr. Guare remembered it, Mr. Bowie was "in a very dark place" (it was shortly after he had had a heart attack onstage in Berlin), and a mutual friend, the English producer Robert Fox, was trying to coax him back to a creative life. Mr. Guare immediately said yes.
He and Mr. Bowie met at each other's homes in New York to throw around ideas, and sometimes they went out. "We would take walks around the East Village," Mr. Guare said. "And I was always praying somebody would run into us so I could say, 'Do you know my friend David Bowie?'"
It never happened.
Mr. Guare was at first puzzled and then amazed at how Mr. Bowie — the stage creature, the persona, the guy he saw command an audience at Radio City Music Hall in 1973 with his spiky orange hair and snow-white tan — could walk the city streets unrecognized.
"He traveled with this cloak of invisibility — nobody saw him," Mr. Guare said. "He just eradicated himself."
People often forgot, but up until his death, on Sunday at age 69, Mr. Bowie was a New Yorker. He said so himself, emphatically. "I'm a New Yorker!" he declared to SOMA magazine in 2003, after he'd been here a decade.

The Floating Studio
New York Review of Books
April 23, 2015
Online articles and blogs, and the streaming of lectures, have placed the last nails into the coffin of the small art book devoted to an illustrated talk by an eminent scholar, accessible to specialists and general readers alike. The Walter Neurath Memorial Lectures and the Council of the Frick Lecture Series are two such casualties (the former's demise in 2000 preceded the Internet Age). And so the Getty Research Institute is to be commended for commissioning David Dollenmayer's fine translation of Willibald Sauerländer's Manet Malt Monet: Ein Sommer in Argenteuil, a lecture given in Munich in the summer of 2004, published by Verlag C.H. Beck of that city in 2012, and now—over a decade later—appearing in a handsomely designed English edition.
Now aged ninety, Sauerländer—a contributor to The New York Review for over thirty years—is a medievalist recognized above all for his work on Gothic and Romanesque sculpture and architecture. His interests have ranged widely to embrace Poussin, Rubens, Houdon, and Fragonard, but only very recently has he chosen to write on nineteenth-century topics (as in reviews in 2012 of exhibitions devoted to Corot and Renoir). "Trained in looking at things in a very intense way," he has noted that the art historian needs to "absorb the emotional process in front of a work of art" and then "undergo the critical task of asking ourselves whether the emotional impact of the art is identical with the historical, or original, mission of the object."

Tennessee Williams on His Women, His Writer's Block, and Whether It All Mattered
Below is an excerpt from the book Follies of God, by James Grissom, as recommended by Longreads contributing editor Dana Snitzky. Dana writes:
James Grissom wrote a letter to Tennessee Williams in 1982, when he was only 20 years old, asking for advice. Tennessee unexpectedly responded, 'Perhaps you can be of some help to me.' Ultimately he tasked Grissom with seeking out each of the women (and few men) who had inspired his work—among them Maureen Stapleton, Lillian Gish, Katharine Hepburn, Bette Davis, and Marlon Brando—so that he could ask them a question: had Tennessee Williams, or his work, ever mattered? This is Grissom's account of their intense first encounters, in which Tennessee explains his thoughts on writing, writer's block, and the women he wrote.
"Perhaps you can be of some help to me."
These were the first words Tennessee Williams spoke to me in that initial phone call to my parents' home in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It was September of 1982, a fact I noted in a small blue book. The book was new and had been purchased for an upcoming test in World History that I would not be taking because Tennessee invited me to lunch in New Orleans, and I accepted.
I know that pleasantries were exchanged, and he laughed a lot—a deep, guttural, silly theatrical laugh—but the first quotation attributable to Tennessee Williams to me was the one I wrote in my small blue book.
Perhaps you can be of some help to me.
How could I be of help to Tennessee Williams? How, when in fact I had written to him, several months before, seeking his help? From a battered paperback copy of Who's Who in the American Theatre, I had found the address of his agent (Audrey Wood, c/o International Famous Agency, 1301 Avenue of the Americas), and had written a letter—lengthy and containing a photograph, and, I'm thankful, lost to us forever—asking for his advice on a writing career. I wrote that his work had meant the most to me; that I was considering a career in the theater. I also enclosed two short stories, both written for a class taken at Louisiana State University. It was a time I recall as happy: I was writing, and exploiting the reserves of the school's library and its liberal sharing policy with other schools. I was poring over books and papers that related to Tennessee and other writers I admired.

John Steinbeck's Pen: How the Joy of Handwriting Helps Us Draft the Meaning of Life
Brain Pickings
April 9, 2015
Edgar Allan Poe believed that handwriting is an indication of character, revealing our "mental qualities." Mary Gordon saw in its "flesh, blood and the thingness of pen and paper" a reminder that "however thoroughly we lose ourselves in the vortex of our invention, we inhabit a corporeal world." Indeed, the marks we leave on the paper are our most human trails of thought. Few things exercise — and exorcise — the not always seamless collaboration between brain and body like that direct line between the tip of the pen and the tip of the neuron. To be particular about one's writing instrument is, then, to be particular about thought itself — one can't afford to be careless about the corporeal transmitter of creative flow.
John Steinbeck (February 27, 1902–December 20, 1968) captures this curious role of the pen as a negotiator between brain and body in a series of disarming observations in Working Days: The Journals of The Grapes of Wrath (public library) — that remarkable volume that gave us a glimpse of how the great writer used the diary as a tool of discipline and a hedge against self-doubt when he embarked on the most intense writing experience of his life, the masterwork that earned him the Pulitzer Prize and paved the way for his Nobel Prize.

A Window Into the Real Lauren Bacall
New York Times
March 27, 2015
She loved animals. And piecework quilts. And Louis Vuitton suitcases.
So exalted was Lauren Bacall's affair and subsequent ménage with Humphrey Bogart, it threatened at times to overshadow her acting career, as well as her other passions: for politics, literature and, yes, material possessions. Mr. Bogart died on Jan. 14, 1957; Ms. Bacall on Aug. 12, 2014, and against the title of the movie on whose set they first fell in love, her credo during the intervening years seems to have been "To Have, and Have a Lot."
"Literally every tabletop had things on it," said Jon King, a vice president and the director of business development at the auction house Bonhams New York, describing the 4,000-square-foot apartment in the Dakota building on 72nd Street in Manhattan that Ms. Bacall bought for tens of thousands of dollars in 1961 and crammed with art and antiques including (and this is but a small sample) Henry Moore and Robert Graham sculptures, David Hockney photographs, Picasso pottery, Chinese bronze figures, Congolese head rests, Louis XV bureaus, Edwardian bamboo, Victorian needlework and Majolica china — notably two nut dishes presided over by nibbling squirrels.
"Her taste was really eclectic," Mr. King said with a note of understatement, describing a panoply for her many visitors and friends, who included Anjelica Huston, Mr. Graham's widow; Barbra Streisand; and Ted Kennedy, who gave "Betty," as Ms. Bacall was called by almost all, a signed lithograph of a daffodil painting he did for his wife Victoria. "Every time they turned, something caught their eye."

Goya: Order and Disorder
by Colm Tóibín
New York Review of Books
January 21, 2015
"There are two ways, perhaps, of looking at Francisco Goya," writes Colm Tóibín in the Review's December 18, 2014 issue. In the first version, Goya, who was born near Zaragoza in 1746 and died in exile in France in 1828, "was almost innocent, a serious and ambitious artist interested in mortality and beauty, but also playful and mischievous, until politics and history darkened his imagination…. In the second version, it is as though a war was going on within Goya's psyche from the very start…. His imagination was ripe for horror." We present below a series of prints and paintings from the show under review—the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston's "Goya: Order and Disorder," now closed—along with commentary on the images drawn from Tóibín's piece. (The Editors)
Although Goya's costume makes him appear the painter as performer, his face has nothing of the actor about it; he is almost comically ordinary as he sets about his work. His button nose lacks appeal. His hat, which has candleholders embedded in it, is too large. It is clear from the composition that he has no time for dullness. As you look at the eyes, the frank and pitying gaze, you get an effect that is quietly unsettling and disturbing.
This sombre self-portrait has elements of a Pietà, in which the stricken Goya, his left hand gripping the sheet in pain, is held in the tender arms of his doctor, with ghostly figures behind them. Goya's instinct for theatricality, so apparent in the self-portrait made in the studio, returns now as an image of dark and unsparing self-exposure.
Light comes from the right of the painting above the cage; it appears as a gray-green glow and then as greenish shadow, leading to darkness on the left of the painting above the cats, becoming a sandy yellow at the boy's feet and then a shadowy brown at the very front of the painting. The drama within this picture arises from an image of innocence and the sense of a great still artificiality that the boy exudes appearing to dominate the space and then slowly being undermined not only by the birds and the cats, but also by the background colors, which are ambiguous, uneasy, and almost ominous.

Van Gogh: The Courage & the Cunning
by Michael Kimmelman
New York Book Review
February 5, 2015
"Don't be cross with me that I've come all of a sudden," Vincent van Gogh wrote to his brother. He instructed Theo to meet him under the Mona Lisa at the Louvre. It was late February 1886. Vincent was about to turn thirty-three. He arrived in Paris to complete an artistic education that had so far yielded no financial returns for his long-suffering sibling paymaster; nor did Vincent's career promise the slightest profit in future. Now Theo, a dealer at the art gallery Goupil & Cie, was expected to put him up.
As Julian Bell reminds us in a splendid new biography, Vincent had dabbled as a self-appointed preacher in the grimy coalfields and pit villages of the Belgian Borinage. He had mostly taught himself art on the margins of Antwerp, Brussels, and The Hague. Now he was just catching up with the Impressionists in Paris when the movement was nearly exhausted.
Mostly unimpressed, van Gogh saw the future of modernism in figures like Adolphe Monticelli, a mediocrity in multiple genres whose work he came across at a gallery run by a friend of Theo's. Along with Seurat and Signac, Hiroshige and Hokusai, Monet and Toulouse-Lautrec, Monticelli would help point Vincent away from potato eaters and gray, wintry landscapes toward sunshine and the south. It turned out that Vincent's obstinacy and sheer otherness, much as they pained friends and family and alienated strangers, bought him the perspective he needed to reach this juncture, where he could pick and choose his sources and stake out a path for himself.

Mostly unimpressed, van Gogh saw the future of modernism in figures like Adolphe Monticelli, a mediocrity in multiple genres whose work he came across at a gallery run by a friend of Theo's. Along with Seurat and Signac, Hiroshige and Hokusai, Monet and Toulouse-Lautrec, Monticelli would help point Vincent away from potato eaters and gray, wintry landscapes toward sunshine and the south. It turned out that Vincent's obstinacy and sheer otherness, much as they pained friends and family and alienated strangers, bought him the perspective he needed to reach this juncture, where he could pick and choose his sources and stake out a path for himself.

Giacomo Puccini, "Madama Butterfly" (Greek National Opera)
July 18, 2013
Open-air rehearsal of Giacomo Puccini's Madama Butterfly on the pedestrian street of Dionysiou Areopagitou, outside the premises of Meropeio Foundation, adjacent to the south slope of the Acropolis. "Madama Butterfly" will stage at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus on July 27, 28, 30 & 31, 2013.
The initiative was part of the GNO's new open-door policy, which aims at educating the residents, passers-by and visitors of the city in the complex process that is creating a grand opera production. The rehearsal ran for one hour, allowing the public on Dionysiou Areopagitou the unique opportunity to enjoy the melodies of Puccini, to hear the conductor directing his musicians and soloists, and also to experience the magical and electrifying atmosphere of a large orchestra preparing an emblematic piece of the opera repertory.

Game Theory: Jane Austen Had It First
|Michael Chwe
New York Times
April 22, 2013
It's not every day that someone stumbles upon a major new strategic thinker during family movie night. But that's what happened to Michael Chwe, an associate professor of political science at the University of California, Los Angeles, when he sat down with his children some eight years ago to watch Clueless, the 1995 romantic comedy based on Jane Austen's Emma.
Mr. Chwe (pronounced CHEH), the author of papers like "Farsighted Coalitional Stability" and "Anonymous Procedures for Condorcet's Model: Robustness, Nonmonotonicity and Optimality," had never cracked Emma or Pride and Prejudice. But on screen, he saw glimmers of a strategic intelligence that would make Henry Kissinger blush.
"This movie was all about manipulation," Mr. Chwe, a practitioner of the hard-nosed science of game theory, said recently by telephone. "I had always been taught that game theory was a mathematical thing. But when you think about it, people have been thinking about strategic action for a long time."
Mr. Chwe set to doing his English homework, and now his assignment is in. Jane Austen, Game Theorist, just published by Princeton University Press, is more than the larky scholarly equivalent of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. In 230 diagram-heavy pages, Mr. Chwe argues that Austen isn't merely fodder for game-theoretical analysis, but an unacknowledged founder of the discipline itself: a kind of Empire-waisted version of the mathematician and cold war thinker John von Neumann, ruthlessly breaking down the stratagems of 18th-century social warfare.

Charles Dickens
Inside the Whale and Other Essays
London: Victor Gollancz, 1940
Dickens is one of those writers who are well worth stealing. Even the burial of his body in Westminster Abbey was a species of theft, if you come to think of it.
When Chesterton wrote his introductions to the Everyman Edition of Dickens's works, it seemed quite natural to him to credit Dickens with his own highly individual brand of medievalism, and more recently a Marxist writer, Mr. T. A. Jackson, has made spirited efforts to turn Dickens into a blood-thirsty revolutionary. The Marxist claims him as 'almost' a Marxist, the Catholic claims him as 'almost' a Catholic, and both claim him as a champion of the proletariat (or 'the poor', as Chesterton would have put it). On the other hand, Nadezhda Krupskaya, in her little book on Lenin, relates that towards the end of his life Lenin went to see a dramatized version of The Cricket on the Hearth, and found Dickens's 'middle-class sentimentality' so intolerable that he walked out in the middle of a scene.
Taking 'middle-class' to mean what Krupskaya might be expected to mean by it, this was probably a truer judgement than those of Chesterton and Jackson. But it is worth noticing that the dislike of Dickens implied in this remark is something unusual. Plenty of people have found him unreadable, but very few seem to have felt any hostility towards the general spirit of his work. Some years later Mr. Bechhofer Roberts published a full-length attack on Dickens in the form of a novel (This Side Idolatry), but it was a merely personal attack, concerned for the most part with Dickens's treatment of his wife. It dealt with incidents which not one in a thousand of Dickens's readers would ever hear about, and which no more invalidates his work than the second-best bed invalidates Hamlet. All that the book really demonstrated was that a writer's literary personality has little or nothing to do with his private character. It is quite possible that in private life Dickens was just the kind of insensitive egoist that Mr. Bechhofer Roberts makes him appear. But in his published work there is implied a personality quite different from this, a personality which has won him far more friends than enemies. It might well have been otherwise, for even if Dickens was a bourgeois, he was certainly a subversive writer, a radical, one might truthfully say a rebel. Everyone who has read widely in his work has felt this. Gissing, for instance, the best of the writers on Dickens, was anything but a radical himself, and he disapproved of this strain in Dickens and wished it were not there, but it never occurred to him to deny it. In Oliver Twist, Hard Times, Bleak House, Little Dorrit, Dickens attacked English institutions with a ferocity that has never since been approached. Yet he managed to do it without making himself hated, and, more than this, the very people he attacked have swallowed him so completely that he has become a national institution himself. In its attitude towards Dickens the English public has always been a little like the elephant which feels a blow with a walking-stick as a delightful tickling. Before I was ten years old I was having Dickens ladled down my throat by schoolmasters in whom even at that age I could see a strong resemblance to Mr. Creakle, and one knows without needing to be told that lawyers delight in Sergeant Buzfuz and that Little Dorrit is a favourite in the Home Office. Dickens seems to have succeeded in attacking everybody and antagonizing nobody. Naturally this makes one wonder whether after all there was something unreal in his attack upon society. Where exactly does he stand, socially, morally, and politically? As usual, one can define his position more easily if one starts by deciding what he was not.
In the first place he was not, as Messrs. Chesterton and Jackson seem to imply, a 'proletarian' writer. To begin with, he does not write about the proletariat, in which he merely resembles the overwhelming majority of novelists, past and present. If you look for the working classes in fiction, and especially English fiction, all you find is a hole. This statement needs qualifying, perhaps. For reasons that are easy enough to see, the agricultural labourer (in England a proletarian) gets a fairly good showing in fiction, and a great deal has been written about criminals, derelicts and, more recently, the working-class intelligentsia. But the ordinary town proletariat, the people who make the wheels go round, have always been ignored by novelists. When they do find their way between the covers of a book, it is nearly always as objects of pity or as comic relief. The central action of Dickens's stories almost invariably takes place in middle-class surroundings. If one examines his novels in detail one finds that his real subject-matter is the London commercial bourgeoisie and their hangers-on — lawyers, clerks, tradesmen, innkeepers, small craftsmen, and servants. He has no portrait of an agricultural worker, and only one (Stephen Blackpool in Hard Times) of an industrial worker. The Plornishes in Little Dorrit are probably his best picture of a working-class family — the Peggottys, for instance, hardly belong to the working class — but on the whole he is not successful with this type of character. If you ask any ordinary reader which of Dickens's proletarian characters he can remember, the three he is almost certain to mention are Bill Sykes, Sam Weller, and Mrs. Gamp. A burglar, a valet, and a drunken midwife — not exactly a representative cross-section of the English working class.
Secondly, in the ordinarily accepted sense of the word, Dickens is not a 'revolutionary' writer. But his position here needs some defining.

'Roy Lichtenstein: A Retrospective' at the National Gallery
October 12, 2012
Roy Lichtenstein. The painter's name is linked with his signature comic-book images of women, their thoughts rising in text bubbles above tentacles of tousled hair, mounds of tears leaking from their eyes. In 1993, a blockbuster Lichtenstein retrospective at the Guggenheim, some 200 pieces strong, sealed the painter's reputation as a prime instigator of Pop art. This week, another major Lichtenstein show ("Roy Lichtenstein: A Retrospective") arrives at the National Gallery, fresh from the Art Institute of Chicago where it opened earlier this year, with a slightly different take. In the 15,000 square feet that the National Gallery has devoted to the exhibit, the comic-book women from the 1960s occupy exactly one room.
Lichtenstein (1923-1997) was so prolific that there are a lot of ways to slice and dice his output. (It's notable how relatively little overlap there is between the Guggenheim show and the 135 works exhibited at the National Gallery.) His signature style, of course, remains constant from the early 1960s, when he began exploring mass-media conventions of rendering three-dimensional objects, with three-color printing and screens of Benday dots. He started out with images taken from phone books and newspaper ads and comic books — a golf ball, a spray can, Mickey Mouse — and over the years broadened his range of recognizable cultural icons to include canonical works of art history: Matisse still lifes, Picasso nudes, Chinese landscapes. All were part of an ongoing exploration of how objects are rendered in two dimensions, and how images become iconic or meaningless, or both, when processed through a mass-market filter. And most resorted at least in places to the trademark dots.
But the dots were less depersonalizing than you might initially think. One frequent misapprehension about Pop art, and Lichtenstein's work, is that because the painter adopted the language of mechanical reproduction, his works are essentially mass-producible themselves. I certainly espoused this view after seeing the 1990s retrospective.
The National Gallery show, however, in going beyond the stereotypical image of Lichtenstein, shows that the painter was in many ways a traditionalist: His paintings are old-fashioned representations in paint, on canvas, with a physicality that can't fully be communicated in reproductions. Even the dots have a presence (as a catalogue essay by Harry Cooper, the National Gallery's contemporary art curator, illuminates). The first three works you see as you enter the show emphasize this physicality, from the painterly surface of the ceiling in "Artist's Studio 'Look Mickey' " (1973) to the textured, slightly scored silver panel in "Entablature" (1975) to the vivid corporeality of "Galatea," (1990) a three-dimensional sculpture cutting the artist's signature sensuous black lines through the gallery air.

National Gallery's 'Serial Portrait' show reveals more than faces
|Nikki S. Lee, "The Hip Hop Project (2)" (2001)
September 29, 2012
One senses mortality throughout "The Serial Portrait: Photograph and Identity in the Last One Hundred Years." The National Gallery of Art exhibition traces a practice mostly peculiar to photography: the creation of multiple images of the same person, often self-portraits, tracing changes in identity that occur naturally over time or through manipulation of self-expression. In the first room of the show, male photographers focus on the female form, often their wives or paramours, producing visual essays that inevitably track the effects of aging. In later rooms, the serial photography project grows more experimental, more a question of identity, manipulations of gender and class. But death is always around the corner.
Nicholas Nixon's "The Brown Sisters" dominates an entire wall, and, although full of life, the work leaves one with a shudder. An ongoing project, this collection of 37 prints documents the photographer's wife and her three sisters in photographs made each year since 1975. Displayed in a grid of four rows, the photographs offer without comment what seems a miracle: a sustained communion among four sisters over almost four decades. But the lowest row, only seven photographs long, is terrifying. Will it be completed? When will this group of four be a group of three, then two, then one? What is the end of this project?
There's only one end, and it's a certitude, of course. The Nixon series, presented with three missing photographs on the lowest row, projects death into the present, into the midst of life, reminding one of Roland Barthes's observation: "Whether or not the subject is already dead, every photograph is this catastrophe."
As you prepare to leave the exhibit, death returns in the form of an image that seems to be a giant reproduction of Robert Mapplethorpe's last self-portrait, made a year before the photographer's death from complications arising from AIDS in 1989.

Expressionist Ecstasy: Remembering 20th Century Art's Color Revolution
September 28, 2012
The Folkwang Museum is hosting a show of work that juxtaposes French Fauvism with similar movements across Europe. Politically, the Continent might have been deeply divided in the early 20th century, but the exhibition in Essen provides ample evidence that its artists had much in common.
A new exhibition in Germany pays tribute to modern artists who revolutionized the use of color.
The show marks the first time the Folkwang Museum in Essen has focused on Fauvism and exploring its impact on subsequent art movements, such as German and Russian Expressionism.
The Fauves ("wild beasts") were named by critic Louis Vauxcelles, who was impressed by the revolutionary use of color and vivid brushstrokes on display in a 1905 exhibition of work by Henri Matisse and André Derain.
Led by Matisse, the Fauvists' work marked a break with Impressionism and more traditional approaches to painting, emphasizing painterly qualities and strong color over representational or realistic values.

SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo PSP
- Publisher: SCEA
- Release Date: Nov 8, 2005
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
The real 'Must-Have' game of the year for anyone who owns a PSP. It's single-player game will steal your heart but it's the perfect multiplayer mode that will steal your soul.
Official U.S. Playstation MagazineWith only a few exceptions, it exceeds every expectation. Bravo, indeed. [Jan 2006, p.102]
Far from a watered-down PS2 port, Fireteam Bravo provides a full-on FPS gaming experience on the PSP, with some multiplayer and connectivity features thrown in for good measure.
Computer Games MagazineJust what the PSP needs more of: the perfect match of a game and its system. [Feb 2006, p.90]
Zipper Interactive has done a great job by bringing the enjoyable gameplay of the console versions to the PSP with minimal change to the classic formula.
Zipper Interactive managed to create very smooth, simple controls for a unit without a second analog nub (a minor miracle), and brought along all the SOCOM visual treats and gameplay nuances that fans of the genre crave, and the PSP enabled them to do this all in style.
Like Cereal, Fireteam Bravo can be had at any course of the day no matter the event. Though the graphical glitches may leave the player dissatisfied with the quality, there is nothing wrong and you have to understand that it was made that way for a longer gameplay experience to benefit from.
Despite a couple minor complaints and a steep learning curve, Fireteam Bravo is easily the best game of its type on the PSP.
The best shooter on the PSP to date, if not one of the best titles on the system itself. A solid single player campaign and a robust multiplayer experience round out Fireteam Bravo.
If publishers and developers insist on making PSP games with big-console values, they could definitely learn a thing or two from Fireteam Bravo.
The game offers hard-hitting offline and online gameplay, impressive map sizes, and a pleasantly intuitive shooter interface, all while maintaining the feel and intensity of combat that is so familiar to fans of SOCOM.
If you want to have a shooter on the go, SOCOM is one of the few games to make a compelling portable shooter experience.
netjakIt is by far the most well rounded SOCOM game and delivers extended replay value both online and off.
Pelit (Finland)One of the few must-haves of PSP. All the SOCOM nuances are there. [April 2006]
Fire Team Bravo is amazing simply because it's broken through first. The team at Zipper have done an admirable job of shrinking their larger-than-life, third-person shooter package onto a PSP without losing much in the translation.
The online is fantastic, the voice communication is unbelievable and the game packs everything else you need for a true SOCOM experience in your hands.
Clearly the most impressive and important aspect of this game is its multi-player mode.
The single player is fun, but the real lasting value can be found online.
Fireteam Bravo is a slightly flawed gem, but it's a gem nonetheless and its gameplay online and off shines bright enough on the PSP's widescreen to capture the hearts and minds of the SOCOM faithful and all PSP gamers who have been long starved of first-class gaming entertainment.
With 16 players via either Ad-Hoc or Infrastructure mode, the game has excellent potential for a very long-term multiplayer lifespan. The singleplayer aspect is great as well, and with the addition of the Instant Action mode, also has quite a long life for itself.
A shocker of a shooter, providing PSP players with access to an experience unlike any they've ever held in their hands – tactical online fragging.
Though the graphics did disappoint me all was made better as the game has great sound, a creative control scheme, a good single player campaign and a robust multiplayer mode.
If it wasn't for the stupid AI and clunky movement and weapon selecting, this would be a far better game for solo players, but online is very good and will likely reside as the top PSP online game for a long time.
This game has it all. Fantastic solo gaming, endless online options, a console interface, SOCOM 3 connectivity, and even the promise of voice chat if I can ever find that PSP headset.
The multiplayer experience is amazing, and the crosstalk feature adds a unique element to fans of the series.
Control is crippled by the PSP's inherent lack of a second analog stick, so you won't be pulling off critical moves like circle-strafing.
The console and portable SOCOMs may look the same, but like the Olsen twins, they're different enough that you won't be satisfied with just one.
It doesn't offer the same mission or weapon variety as its big brothers, but its portability and wireless multiplayer more than make up for those shortcomings. And like its counterpart on the PlayStation 2, it's one of the best first-person shooters for the PSP to date.
Play MagazineThe core designs that have marked this tactical-shooter franchise are well represented. [Dec 2005, p.74]
PSM MagazineEasily the best single-player shooter on the PSP, but of course there aren't that many available. [Jan 2006, p.82]
But make no mistake, the single-player game isn't where SOCOM excels. The gameplay is linear and basically involves moving from one checkpoint to the next, with the strategy required being fairly minimal. It's more like a prolonged training mission for the real action found in the superb multiplayer mode. [PSW]
Everything that made SOCOM one of the PS2's few standout online multiplayer games has been wrapped in a streamlined package for PSP.
AceGamezThe hugely substantial team based multiplayer, coupled with the headset support, is easily enough to warrant a purchase.
Fireteam Bravo is stable, cerebral, and while it is admittedly problematic and somewhat generic, it is stable and simple enough that it's perfect when you've got a half hour to kill and a wifi connection nearby.
Online is a blast, but I think the new targeting system limits its long-term value; while the automatic lock-on keeps aiming smooth in the solo campaign, in multiplayer it removes two of the series' most enjoyable aspects: precision shooting and the use of camouflage.
It probably won't remain in rotation simply because playing it requires too much of a time footprint to make it a great portable game. As a portable port of a great console game, however, it is a solid first effort.

Because you learn what your objectives are as you play though the mission, which includes things such as; capture enemy leaders, rescue hostages, search and destroy enemy equipment or vehicles, find and disarm bombs and more... you also get a teammate that follows you around and is primarily controlled by AI, but you can also give him orders to help you both succeed. --- Overall this is one of the best games I've played on PSP.… Full Review »

COLUMBUS, OH -- Texas A&M junior Kristen Heiss (Casper, Wyo.) earned the highest individual women's swimming NCAA finish in school history with a third-place showing in the 500-yard freestyle to help lead the Aggies' charge into fourth place on day one of the 2008 NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships.
Heiss swam a methodical, steady race, biding her time over the first half of the competition. As the field slowed, Heiss took advantage, passing swimmer after swimmer, climbing all the way up to within striking distance of second place at race's end. Heiss finished in a school record and all-time A&M and Big 12 best time of 4:40.03. Caroline Burckle of Florida broke Janet Evans' 18 year-old NCAA record of 4:34.39 by going 4:33.60 to take first place.
"(Head Coach) Steve (Bultman) told me before I swam that my best races come when I come from behind," Heiss said. "I wanted to start a little faster tonight than I did this morning. Although I didn't start much faster, it worked out for me anyway. It's so much fun to see how fast we're swimming as a team compared to our freshman year and even last year. It's a really exciting time for all of us."
Arizona is in first place in the team standings with 151 points while two-time defending champion Auburn is second with 132. California is in third place with 89 points, just a single point ahead of Texas A&M. Stanford is in fifth with 80 points.
"You have to feel great after a day like today," Bultman said. "We broke school records in every race but one. You can't ask for much more than that. We want to place as high as we can but you also can't control how others are doing. If we keep swimming fast like we're doing, the places will take care of themselves."
Junior Julia Wilkinson (Straford, Ont.) earned the highest NCAA finish of her career with a lifetime, school, and all-time Big 12 record time of 1:55.45 in the 200-yard individual medley. Auburn sophomore Ava Ohlgren took the top spot in 1:53.94.
Junior Triin Aljand (Tallinn, Estonia) equaled a career-best NCAA finish of fifth-place in the 50 freestyle with a time of 22.06, the second fastest time of her life. Arizona junior Lara Jackson won the 50 free in 21.69.
The Aggie 200-yard freestyle relay team of Triin Aljand, Sarah Woods (Birmingham, Ala.), Maria Sommer (Brenham), and Marissa Jasek (San Antonio) hit the wall in 1:29.52, the second-fastest time in school history, to get the Aggies into the scoring column first. Woods, Sommer and Jasek each earned the first All-American honors of their careers as well. Arizona won in an NCAA and American record time of 1:26.90.
The Aggies closed the meet by annihilating the school and all-time Big 12 record in the consolation final of the 400-yard medley relay. Julia Wilkinson led the Aggies off in a near school record of 52.79 in the 100 backstroke and Alia Atkinson (Pembroke Pines, Fla.), Triin Aljand, and Christine Marshall (Newport News., Va.) never looked back, easily distancing themselves from the field in 3:33.88 (Old Big 12 record: 3:35.12). Arizona broke the NCAA and American record for the second time in the session, going 3:29.06 for first place.
Day two of the 2008 NCAA Women's Swimming & Diving Championships will begin with preliminaries at 11 a.m.

No, Poppa, now Poppa, it's a thing that will astound you!
When I show you what I found, you won't believe!
Over river wide and mountain tall
They traveled far beyond the waterfall
To a place and a day that would change them all
In the wasteland
What are they?
Stones! It's a ring of giant stones!
All of my life I think it's this I've been seeking
Pent up inside me like an underground spring
Finally a future, finally an answer
Written in a ring of stone
Finally proof of what I've always known:
We are not alone
Damned we may be
But we are not alone
All of a sudden, I can feel the old tingling
The urge to question, the itch to explore
I feel it once more
Stones the size of giants
In a perfect circle
What could be their purpose
What could be their meaning?
In a perfect circle
How could they have raised them?
Must have taken hundreds
Stones the size of giants
How long have they been here?
Could we find the people?
Think about their knowledge, think about their science
Think about their strength and skill
Scary they may be but still
I will never rest until
We have found these strange, bewildering
People who would build a ring of giant stone
All of my life I think it's this I've been seeking
We are not alone
The rain will be here soon
We'd best get back to the shelter of our glen
But...what about these people?
We will never speak of them again
Poppa, listen to me. For once, listen!
Tear it all down, is that what you want?
Tear down everything we've worked to build
Trust our lives to a bunch of ragged strangers
You see the promise, Cain, but not the dangers
You think they're so wise, you think they're so skilled
But you've never heard them chanting in their ring of stones
Never seen them dancing here among the bones
Of a beast they've killed
How do you know what they are?
Because I've been here! I have seen them.
When were you here?
The two of you were babies still
A long, long time ago
You never told me.
It was better not to know
It would still be better not to know
CAIN (simultaneously)
All these years you've lied to us
All these years denied to us our future
EVE (simultaneously)
All these years you never told, never discussed
After all these years, couldn't you trust me?
Couldn't you trust me?
After all these years
ADAM (simultaneously)
We don't even know who their father was
Would our Father feel betrayed?
What if these are people he never made?
After all these years, to lose the chance he might forgive
ABEL (simultaneously)
Everybody, stop fighting!
All I see is you are still afraid
There was a time once, you were so brave then
And look what we got, look what it brought us
Look at the lesson our bravery taught us
We are lost in the wilderness
We belong out here in the wilderness
Well then stay here forever!
If that's how you want to live
But Abel and I could find comrades and wives
And learn what it is to have hope in our lives
Be part of a tribe, part of a clan
Not just one family
But a family of man
Come on, Abel!
Abel! If you go now, you will never see me again.
Oh Cain, please don't make me choose
Either way, it's more than I could bear to lose
Either way, it's ripping out my heart
This choice is tearing me apart
Is this what it means to be a father?
Crushing the spirit of your children like an egg
Is that what it means to be a father?
Binding them to you with a chain around the leg!
