Pat Forde (2:02 PM)
I'm here! Nothing says July like college sports, right? Well, it beats talking about baseball and soccer, so let's get on it. Hope you all saw my package of stories on red-hot rivalries in college football and hoops. If not, check 'em out and bring your questions and comments.
patrick (Quebec)
Do you think that the USC vs Notre Dame rivalry will get competitive again? as an irish fan losing every year is wearing thin
Pat Forde (2:04 PM)
Patrick: Good name. As foryour question: that is completely incumbent upon the Irish, who need to step up in a way they haven't since Bush Push, 2005. I think it will be a closer game this year, but I still see USC and significantly better than Notre Dame. We'll see whether Charlie Weis can get all of his highly-ranked recruits playing well.
Will J (Portland, OR)
Pat, I would say the Civil War is a more hotly contested rivalry, or even Oregon v. Washington, than the Apple Cup is.
Pat Forde (2:05 PM)
Will: When you get a state senate hissing match like the one the Cougs and Huskies had in Oregon, holler. I'm not downplaying the excellence of that rivalry, but the Apple Cup took it to another level this past offseason. Now hopefully the game won't stink.
Greg (Champaign, IL)
Illinois and Missouri have great rivalries in both football and basketball. Is this one of the best out of conference rivalries?
Pat Forde (2:06 PM)
Greg: Are you in summer school and blowing off class, or blowing off work? Yes it is, spiced by the neutral-site, 50-50 ticket splits in St. Louis. Sadly, both sides have backed off of the football series and it will discontinue. That's a big disappointment to me.
Tom (Jacksonville)
Ok so I attend Wake Forest, and Wake really doesn't have any in state rivals. So why don't they make Vandy their perennial rival. Both wear black and gold, both good southern colleges, I just don't understand why they didn't renew their contract to play each other.
Pat Forde (2:07 PM)
Tom: I'd be in favor of that, definitely. We need some good egghead rivalries.
Ben (Dayton)
I'm happy to see the UD vs Xavier rivalry on your list. The game at UD arena is just a madhouse every year, the upper section never hears the whistle which fires the cheap seats up every more.
Pat Forde (2:07 PM)
Ben: Great, underrated rivalry that got even better this last year. And could take another step forward this year if Dayton unseats X atop the A-10.
Patrick (Mobile, AL)
Great article 4-D. I know that Auburn is having a down year, but Alabama-Auburn has to be one of the best heated rivalries in the country. Check the divorce rate in the state and the number of domestic disturbances that spike after that game!
Pat Forde (2:09 PM)
Patrick: Hey, I've been to the Iron Bowl and it is as intense as any of them -- maybe moreso because of the lack of pro sports in the state. But until Auburn gets back on its feet, I couldn't put this on the top 10.
Rob (Omaha, NE)
After reading Pat Forde's article about his top rivalries, I noticed that Nebraska/Oklahoma wasn't in the top 10 or even an honorable mention! What are your feelings about this game and where do you think it should be placed amongst college footballs greatest rivalries?
Pat Forde (2:11 PM)
Rob: In the 1970s it might have been #1. In the 1980s it might have been 1 or 2. In the first half of the 90s it was still strong. But now that they don't play every year, and Nebraska isn't NEBRASKA, it's hard to put it on the list.
Marc (Charlotte via Chapel Hill)
Better gym, better fans, smarter students? Did you write that while drunk? Cameron Indoor Stadium is a dump. Get some AC for crying out loud. I guess your definition of better is "dress up like fools and chant stupid things." Smarter students is just plain false. Do you not have an editor?
Pat Forde (2:11 PM)
Marc: Lighten up, Francis. You might have noted that I was writing from the point of view of each side, not necessarily my own.
Otto (CA)
Beano would be disappointed that your list doesn't have Army/Navy.
Pat Forde (2:13 PM)
Otto: I'll ask Beano for forgiveness. Just couldn't go there given the modest state of the programs -- especially Army -- and the lack of any overly public bad blood in recent times.
Marc (Charlotte via Chapel Hill)
My bad, I have an infernal passion for hating dook.
Pat Forde (2:13 PM)
Infernal passion is what makes a rivalry a rivalry.
Tommy (The Ville)
Pat, will the Miami-Florida St. rivalry ever get back to where it used to be? If so, how long do you suspect it will take for a return to form?
Pat Forde (2:14 PM)
Tommy: I think it might take a coaching change in Tallahassee. But I do expect the rivalry to be back on form eventually.
Africa (Brooklyn)
Does Michigan's spread beat OSU this year?
Pat Forde (2:14 PM)
Africa: I wouldn't count on it.
Will J (Portland, OR)
Forde, which rivalry games you haven't seen in person that you still plan on seeing one day?
Pat Forde (2:16 PM)
Will: Oh man, plenty. Never seen Army-Navy. Never seen USC-UCLA. Never seen Civil War or Apple Cup or Holy War (Utah-BYU). I think I've seen all or almost all on my top 10 FB list. On the basketball side, never seen Dayton-X, or Nova-St. Joe's @ Palestra. I'd love to see Michigan State-Purdue this coming season.
Chris (Tempe, AZ)
Pat, how can you leave out ASU-Arizona? This is easily the most underrated rivalry in the country and one of the most hate filled.
Pat Forde (2:17 PM)
Chris: Had to leave some out, sorry. And y'all need to get more public with the bad blood. Let America know!
Candice Dawson (Alpharetta, Ga)
Pat, what are your thoughts on keeping the Florida-Ga game in Jacksonville? Do you think it contributes to the rivalry?
Pat Forde (2:18 PM)
Yeah, I like it there (other than the traffic getting to the stadium). Love the 50-50 ticket split and the tailgate jawing. Neutral field rivalry games are a lot of fun (see: Red River Shootout, Mizzou-Illinois, the old Indiana-Kentucky hoops setup).
Mike (Austin)
While the hatred really isn't there, Texas vs KU in hoops has been real good every year. Thoughts?
Pat Forde (2:19 PM)
Mike: Yeah, it's been excellent. If there was some discernible bad blood I would have put it on the list. Considered it, definitely.
Karl (Ballinger, Tx)
Pat, do you think Texas-Oklahoma should stay at the Cotton Bowl, or go to a home and home rivalry? It is one of the few games still played at a neutral site.
Pat Forde (2:19 PM)
Karl: See previous answer about the joys of neutral field rivalries. Keep it in Dallas.
Devlin (Vermont)
Forde-Kiffin brings a much needed attitude change to Tennessee after the Fulmer regime. No more rolling over for rival coaches.
Pat Forde (2:20 PM)
Devlin: Fine. But isn't there a difference between "rolling over" and erroneously accusing someone of cheating? I'd say so.
Joe (Orlando)
Pat - love the list. Interesting that 2 of top 3 involve UF. With fsu hating our guts, and lsu a close second, is their a top team with more one sided rivals than UF. We are public enemy #1 on a lot of lists
Pat Forde (2:20 PM)
Joe: I'd say, given Florida's status as reigning big dog, that the Gators have more people dying to beat them than anyone. For this year at least.
Heath (Hattiesburg, Ms)
Since we are talking about rivalries, What is your opinion on the Big 3 in the state of Mississippi not playing each other every year? And why do you think this is? (opinion down here in Hattiesburg is that they do not want to get beat, and they avoid us)
Pat Forde (2:21 PM)
Heath: I'd guess that your opinion is correct. Classic case of the SEC schools having much more to lose than gain by playing USM. But the Egg Bowl is another underrated rivalry I'd love to see.
Ben (Lexington, KY)
Why is everyone saying the UK-UofL rivalry is no where near Duke-UNC when UK-UofL has more titles?
Pat Forde (2:23 PM)
Ben: Not only more titles, but a more year-round consuming nature. No pro sports in Kentucky -- no Panthers, no Hornets, no Hurricanes. As you know, Cats-Cards is a 365-day-a-year issue among the fans. I rank it ahead of Duke-Carolina in terms of intensity.
Greg (Champaign, IL)
Best rivalry trophy?
Pat Forde (2:23 PM)
Floyd of Rosedale, the brass pig to the winner of Minny-Iowa football.
Steve (Norman)
Do you see Bedlam making its way into the top rivalries? OSU has built amazing facilities and Gundy won't leave his alma mater. This could be a rivalry to watch going forward.
Pat Forde (2:24 PM)
Steve: Definitely one on the rise. Probably should have included it on the honorable mention list at least, given Ok State's expected prominence this season.
Ryan (Louisville)
Did the UK-UL football rivalry not get any pub because it was not in play for so long?? It is beginning to gain some steam.
Pat Forde (2:25 PM)
Ryan: Nah. Teams aren't good enough and moving the game off opening weekend when it's in Lexington disqualified it from the list.
Brian (Memphis)
No mention of Memphis and UT as basketball rivals. The last 2 games have been the most watched basketball games on ESPN. Plus the fans absolutely hate each other!
Pat Forde (2:25 PM)
Brian: Memphis no longer has Calipari. Or many players. Off the list it goes.
Africa (Brooklyn)
Cuse-G'Town or Cuse-UConn in basketball?
Pat Forde (2:26 PM)
Africa: If this were the '80s, Cuse-GTown. Since it's not, Cuse-UConn. But both teams will take a big step back this year, I think.
Inglewood Rudeboy (Inglewood)
You leave out Cal versus Oregon. Tedford over Bellotti (now Kelly) Completely underrated.
Pat Forde (2:27 PM)
Can't list 'em all, Rudeboy. But it's quite a matchup of ugly uniforms.
Geoffrey (Birmingham, AL)
My mother told me that the only two joys I have in life are bourbon and Alabama football. I know the bourbon will be flowing this season, but will the inexperienced OL keep my beloved Tide from rising this year. ROLL TIDE, Pat. Love reading your columns.
Pat Forde (2:28 PM)
Geoffrey: I'd hate for you to go through the season with only bourbon to fall back on -- unless it's really good bourbon. So if it makes you feel better, yes, Alabama will rise. At least into the Top 10-15.
Ryan (Atlanta, GA)
Why isn't the Florida, Florida State rivalry not on the list? Fsu should be much better than last year, and it's most likely Tebow's last year.
Pat Forde (2:28 PM)
Ryan: If I had a dollar for every time I've heard "FSU should be much better this year" over the past 7-8 years, I'd be retired and living in Maui.
Kyle (Chicago)
What rivalry has the potential to exist that just hasn't had that push? I would love to see a Rutgers-PSU football series or a TCU-Texas arrangement.
Pat Forde (2:30 PM)
Kyle: Good question. How about a once-great but now nonexistent rivalry -- Pitt vs Penn State? Or how about Cincy-Ohio State? Like the TCU-Texas possibility.
Patrick (Utah)
Why isn't BYU-Utah on the list?! I mean like Arkansas-Ole Miss, BC-VT? What?
Pat Forde (2:31 PM)
Patrick: It made honorable mention in both football and basketball, one of just two rivalries to be in both stories. (Mizzou-Kansas being the other.)
Elizabeth (FL)
One of my Auburn friends is personally insulted that you didn't include Alabama-Auburn on the list. This is his quote "hello families kill each other over the auburn alabama game, it doesnt matter how bad either team is it is always bad". I have to agree with him. It just seems wrong that Ohio State Michigan gets a nod when they're going through the same thing.
Pat Forde (2:32 PM)
Elizabeth: Murder might actually be considered "over the top" in other parts of the country. However, your point is taken. But the reason Michigan-Ohio State makes it this year despite the imbalance is the presence of Justin Boren in a Buckeye uniform. That was in the story.
Greg (Champaign, IL)
How many trees would you cut down if you had Paul Bunyan's axe?
Pat Forde (2:33 PM)
None. I'm anti-big logging.
Mike (Ohio)
Trying this again: In your basketball column you mentioned the Big 12 and Baylor, with beating Scott Drew being the goal. What is the issue there? What did Drew do?
Pat Forde (2:34 PM)
Mike: A lot of coaches don't like Drew's recruiting tactics.
Andrew (Knoxville)
It is downright malpractice to place UK/Louisville ahead of UNC/that school in durham in terms of intensity. Perhaps in the state of Kentucky, due in part to the delusion of the Wildcats fanbase since 1998, but anywhere else UNC/that school in durham is the greatest NCAA Basketball Rivalry.
Pat Forde (2:36 PM)
Andrew: Not in 2009-10 it isn't.
Nick (Seattle)
Can you think of a bigger regular season game in recent history than this year's Texas Oklahoma game?
Pat Forde (2:37 PM)
Nick: Well, it's darn big. Huge, even. But I remember hearing the same sort of talk before USC-Ohio State last year; Ohio State-Michigan in 2006; and countless other games. So let's wait and see how both teams look going in and coming out of the that game.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Nice to see Purdue's got two rivalries in the top 10 in hoops, but the Knight-Keady battles in the 80's and 90's were legendary. The chair tossing? Yeah, that was against Purdue.
Pat Forde (2:37 PM)
Clinton: No doubt. And that IU-Purdue rivalry will be back large soon. But Indiana isn't quite ready yet, and Crean won't be throwing any chairs.
Erik (KS)
What is the biggest all-around rivalry?
Pat Forde (2:39 PM)
Erik: Wow, tough question. Off the top of my head, I'd favor schools that are good in a number of sports, like USC-UCLA, OU-Texas, Michigan-Ohio State, Florida-Somebody, maybe even Stanford-Cal.
Greg (Champaign, IL)
I know it's not FBS, but how about a couple words on the Harvard-Yale rivalry?
Pat Forde (2:40 PM)
Greg: It's good.That's a couple.Just kidding.I don't have any firsthand experience with the rivalry, but I've talked to people who do and they said it was the one time on those campuses when people paid attention to sports.
Paul (Detroit)
After last year, it seems in the future Michigan-Ohio State hoops will be the better rivalry.
Pat Forde (2:42 PM)
Paul: I don't know that it will be BETTER than football -- not at those two schools. But it will be GOOD. I think both are in it for the long haul in hoops.
Younger (Cali)
Most outrageous prank between rivals?
Pat Forde (2:43 PM)
Younger: I don't know whether this qualifies as Most Outrageous, but I have firsthand experience of a good one between Stanford and Cal. After the five-lateral runback game, the Stanford student paper put out a bogus facsimile of the Cal paper stating that the Pac-10 had reviewed the play and nullified it, declaring Stanford the winner. Delivered the edition to Cal's campus. I know the guy behind the prank.
tom (atlanta)
What about the Clean, Old Fashion Hate rivalry? Last year GT embarrassed UGA inbetween the hedges and you bet Mark Richt is thinking about next year in Bobby Dodd
Pat Forde (2:44 PM)
Tom: Props to Paul Johnson for reinvigorating that rivalry. Should be fun for years to come.
Xander (Philly)
I didnt go to either school, but HOD DO YOU LEAVE OFF LEHIGH vs. LAFAYETTE?!?! Oldest rivarly, and the students there go insane. Just cause its small, and doesnt make Sportcenter, doesnt mean its undeserving.
Pat Forde (2:45 PM)
Xander: Beyond both campuses, that qualifies as the oldest running Who Cares game in the country. And I say that with the utmost respect.
Tom (Chicago, IL)
The Hornets play in New Orleans now, not Charlotte. They have a team called the Bobcats. Shows that you only focus on college sports (which is fine).
Pat Forde (2:46 PM)
Tom: Correction duly noted. I can remember when Carolina had an ABA team, so I'm old and my mind is faulty.
Eli (Saratoga NY)
Where is Pitt V WVU? its better than ole miss v ark i know that fore sure
Pat Forde (2:47 PM)
Eli: If Rich Rodriguez had gone to coach the Panthers then it would have some of the same ancillary juice as Ole Miss-Arkansas. He didn't.
Aaron (Illinois)
Which is the bigger rivalry? The Bears and Packers? or the Packers and Vikings?
Pat Forde (2:48 PM)
Aaron: Broncos-Raiders.
joe (manchester, tn)
Pat, it seems like every game in the SEC is a rivalry. Which matchup, in the last decade, do you think is the biggest rivalry?
Pat Forde (2:49 PM)
Joe: Good question. Florida-Tennessee was huge in the 1990s. I'd say Florida-Georgia has been awfully big the last two years, but so has LSU-Bama. Not sure I can make a definitive call.
Pat Forde (2:49 PM)
Ray: Tell Virginia to play up to its talent and you'd have something.
Kris (Des Moines, IA)
Broncos v Raiders??? over Bears Pack or even over some random sunday afternoon game Lol...your smokin your socks Forde
Pat Forde (2:50 PM)
Kris: How many Supes have the Bears and Pack been in the past 12 years? One? Two for Denver, one for Oakland in that time.
john (columbia sc)
How much longer until tennessee has a chance at beating florida?
Pat Forde (2:52 PM)
John: Maybe in 2010? Just guessing that Florida might take a step back after Tebow. But I don't expect it to be close this year in the Swampage.
Will J (Portland, OR)
Does Magic and Larry top all rivalries of rivalries?
Pat Forde (2:53 PM)
Will: Whooo, that's a good one. Probably my personal fave. Though Avalanche-Red Wings (1990s) and Yanks-Sox and Woody-Bo all deserve to be mentioned.
Jeff (Davenport, IA)
Pat, thanks for not respsonding about the Creighton-SIU rivalry. I guess you and Jay Bilas are in cahoots with the "big money/big name" schools. I guess you two just have a clear cut view of where your pay checks come from, but there are other die hard schools out there worth discussing...
Pat Forde (2:54 PM)
Jeff: You're right. That's why I included Northern Iowa-Illinois State, Butler-Cleveland State and Xavier-Dayton on my list.
will (northridge, CA)
isnt hatred the exact opposite thing you want in a rivalry, which brings me to why are respected rivalries less value than rivalries with hatred?
Pat Forde (2:55 PM)
Will: I may be trying to make too fine a distinction here, but hate-in-moderation/perspective helps make a rivalry go 'round. Hate that causes maiming and death is, ahem, excessive. But a little schadenfreude goes a long way.
Billy G (P-cola, Fl.)
The top all rivalries of rivalries has to be Good Vs. Evil
Pat Forde (2:56 PM)
Billy: Ya know, that seems like a great one to end on. Thanks for all the questions and comments, please continue to debate among yourselves.

I want a divorce been married for 17 yrs I have no education he has education he has the house in his parents name I have no job
Criminal Defense Attorney
The first step is either to hire an attorney, or, file a petition for divorce on your own. If you have access to the bank account, get the money necessary to file and see an attorney as you may qualify to receive temporary spousal support, but, you must first have a court date and a hearing to get it. As well, you want to be able to stay in the house, assuming you have no other place to go. An attorney can help you protect your interests and your rights.
Family Law Attorney
You might also contact Volunteer Legal Services of Central Texas, their website is http://www.vlsoct.org.
Good luck,
Eric Gruetzner
Houston, Texas
Family Law Attorney
That's correct, filing a petition for divorce is the first step. If the two of you agree on the divorce, you can accomplish the divorce relatively cheap. Generally, the more contested a divorce is, the more expensive it is. In some counties, you can file an affidavit of inability to pay, sometimes called a "pauper's oath", which waives the court costs. If you proceed pro se, (without an attorney) some counties have a department that will help you through the process. It is definitely best, and faster, to get an attorney.

On the Town: One Hundred Years of Spectacle in Times Squareby Marshall Berman

Described as 'a continuous carnival' and 'the crossroads of the world,' Times Square is a singular phenomenon: the spot where imagination and veracity intersect. To Marshall Berman, it is also the flashing, teeming, and strangely beautiful nexus of his life. In this remarkable book, Berman takes us on a thrilling illustrated tour of Times Square, revealing a landscape both mythic and real. Interleafing his own recollections with social commentary, he reveals how movies, graphic arts, literature, popular music, television, and, of course, the Broadway theater have reflected Times Square's voluminous light to illuminate a vast spectrum of themes and vignettes. Part love letter, part revelatory semiotic exposition of a place known to all, On the Town is a nonstop excursion to the heart of American civilization, written by one of our keenest, most entertaining cultural observers.
Editorial Reviews
"Like the square itself, the choreographer of this neon Leaves of Grass is a hybrid of styles and genres, of page, stage, screen, and jazz. He is up in the air, like Ruby Keeler on top of a taxi. He is dancing in the street, with Martha and the Vandellas. A Pied Piper, Johnny Appleseed, and Sergeant Pepper, he leads us into movie houses, libraries, juke joints, temptation, and transcendence ... the fact is, I can no longer see Times Square on my own. I am looking at some splendid magical-realist Macondo from inside the head of a man with kaleidoscope eyes."—John Leonard, New York Magazine

Chapter One
Home Fires Burning: Times Square's Signs
"I'll just go down Broadway," he said to himself. When he reached 42nd Street, the fire signs were already blazing bright.
--Hurstwood, near the end of Sister Carrie
Great signs--Bigger! Than! Life!--blink off and on. And a great hungry sign groping luridly at the darkness screams:
--John Rechy, City of Night
Signs Square
All through the century, whenever people have talked about Times Square, they have talked about its giant signs. Those signs were there at the Square's very start, and for its whole life they have been designed and arranged to overwhelm the people on the ground. "A spectacular" is the word for these signs. Over the years they have run fifty, sixty, seventy feet high, sometimes a whole block long. They have been extravagantly lit with whatever the state of advertising art allows: with thousands of bulbs, with lovely neon calligraphy, with tremendous spotlights, with throbbing and exploding computer graphics; any style, any technology will do if it can knock us out. I don't mean to say that all Times Square signs are giants bent on knockout blows. Most are not; most are likely to be much smaller and more nuanced. But the Square's ecology is such that the smaller signs are experienced in relation to the big ones. The manager of the Arrow Shirts shop said, "We're just below the waterfall." They make limited claims on the universe, but "Side by side, they're glorified" by the unlimited claims being made just above and around them.
In its effusion of signs, New York has never been alone. Early in the twentieth century, every city had its "Great White Way."1 Most of these went dark after World War Two, when the Federal Highway System engineered the destruction of downtowns all over the country; New York alone survived to tell the tale. Many American cities, especially in the Sun Belt, developed prosperity based on highways and cars, and created spaces with signs as big and bold as Times Square's. But those spaces tend to be strips (Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Mexico City) where people come in cars and drive straight through. Their signs are laid out in straight lines, meant to be seen one or at most two at a time by drivers or passengers on the road. The deployment of signs in Times Square is far more complex. Here people are on their feet, enveloped by crowds of walkers in a hundred directions, impeded from moving straight ahead even if they want to. The signs come at us from many directions; they color the people next to us in complex blends, and we become colored, too, all of us overlaid with the moving lights and shadows. We metamorphose as we turn around, and we have to turn around to make any headway in this crowd. The development of Cubism in the early twentieth century was made for spaces like this, where we occupy many different points of view while standing nearly still. Times Square is a place where Cubism is realism. Being there is like being inside a 1920s Cubist experimental film: "The Man with the Movie Camera" as a home movie. Signs are the essential landmark, yet generally what grips our hearts is less any one sign than the complex, the totality, the superabundance of signs, too many signs, a perfect complement for the Square's too many people. Since the 1890s, being attuned to Times Square's overfullness has been one of the basic ways of being at home in New York. Even the most wretched people can feel at home with the Square's signs. " 'I'll just go down Broadway,' " Hurstwood says. "When he reached 42nd Street, the fire signs were already blazing bright." This man is starving, freezing, dressed in rags, delirious, one foot in the grave. But he can't stay away from the "fire signs." He is drawn to their warmth and light like a moth to a flame.
Times Square's allure springs from the totality, the superabundance of signs, rather than from any one. But it makes sense for a book on the Square to contain at least a brief historical sweep of the Square's memorable signs, which will also be a sweep through modern commercial mass culture. There is another reason. One important way in which people have always experienced Times Square, and still do, has been to adopt a favorite sign, to be alone with it, to make it part of their inner lives. This means uncoupling the sign from whatever commodity it was meant to promote and placing it in a different system of meaning all our own. If the sign is a human figure, we can talk: "What's a sweetheart like you doing in a place like this?" The human capacity to give things new names is a capacity not to be swept away by floods of commodities, not to be reduced to passive acquiescence, keeping ourselves inwardly, imaginatively alive. (Yet often, just when we feel at home with our special signs, we come and they are gone. "All that is solid melts into air.")
One of Times Square's most arresting early spectaculars was the fifty-foot-tall Miss Heatherbloom, promoting "Heatherbloom Petticoats, Silk's Only Rival." The product seems to have been a typical garment-center knockoff of a high-fashion item, marketed to millions of young women of the sort who passed through the Square every day: typists and switchboard operators, schoolteachers and young wives. The sign was built in the 1900s (different sources give different dates) by O. J. Gude, the Square's first great commercial artist, who painted in bursts and undulations of electric power. It had an elaborately programmed sequence where the heroine walked through a driving rain "depicted by slashing diagonal lines of lamps." The wind whipped at her dress, lifted her skirt, and revealed the petticoat clinging to her legs and her hips and her thighs. The gale receded, her clothes fell into place, she resumed her high-heeled, mincing walk--only to be swept up in the wind and rain again, and again and again.2
This sign attracted big crowds, and the crowds included plenty of women. Not the most affluent women, who would surely have stuck with silk, a warm and voluptuous material that has been a symbol of class since ancient times. But imagine seamstresses and switchboard operators on their way to work, or schoolteachers and stenographers going to plays. What the ad promised is something that the New York garment industry, just a few blocks south, knew how (and still knows how) to deliver: cheap knockoffs of expensive fabrics and designs; aristocratic fantasies that a plebeian mass public can afford. It was structurally similar to the electrified mass culture embodied in its sign. It sought and found a large body of respectable women who would respond to a public, flamboyant sexual display, and would buy a garment that they hoped would help them change.
One thing that petticoat could mean: women's disgust with the multiple layers of clothing that then defined women's wear. In those clothes, nobody would ever see what a woman's body looked like. (In those days, too, from what we can tell, sex happened in the dark: Touch but don't look.) Feminism in the early twentieth century demanded "dress reform" from clothes that treated women like prisoners. But not much changed till World War One, when suddenly there was a lot less cloth around, and then things changed fast. Since then, the visibility of women's bodies has become a primary hallmark of the twentieth century, of the West, of the big city, of modern times. Anyone who doubts this should note the rage against women's visibility in all the aggressively anti-modern movements around the world. The Heatherbloom product, although marketed to youth, stays firmly within the traditional layered wardrobe. But the Heatherbloom sign performs a leap into the open. It is a curtain-raiser for the century-long drama of women's exposure and display. This is "legitimate" theater because the girl can't help it. She does not take her clothes off; she is not stripped by a lustful husband or boyfriend; she is undressed by the primal force of nature itself. But in Times Square it is also comic theater. Its comic irony is defined by the program of the sign: In Act One the heroine is swept up and stripped by the storm; in Act Two the storm abates and her clothes cover her up; in Act Three she is out in the storm again.
Smoke, Water, and America
The discourse of nostalgia in Times Square often gravitates toward the 1940s, the age of World War Two and its prosperous aftermath. Survivors and memoirists of these years portray a New York that may have been physically distinct from the rest of America, but that culturally blended in with it, and that had the capacity to incarnate it. In Alfred Eisenstadt's Life photograph of the sailor and the nurse embracing in the Square as the Japanese surrender, we see a historical moment free of the tension between "New York" and "America" that marked American culture in the 1960s and 1970s, when I was growing up, and that was nourished by the GOP. (It peaked in President Ford's "Drop Dead" speech of 1976.) People who yearn for the Square of the 1940s are often, in Paul Simon's poignant words, "looking for America." They still feel vast distance between New York and America today, and they yearn for a fusion between them that they think existed yesterday. They often focus on the Square's spectacular signs, which they feel performed feats of spiritual integration.
On the "looking for America" nostalgia trip, the great BOND Clothes waterfall and the Camel smoke ring sign are favorite stops. Both signs made their debuts shortly before the war. They were imagined and planned by one of Times Square's unsung heroes, the artist, engineer, landlord, and promoter Douglas Leigh, and assembled by Artkraft Strauss.3 The BOND sign opened in 1940, just above the company's main showroom. It proclaimed "The Cathedral of Clothing." This was where my father got his suits, cheap but "smart." The Camel sign, just a block below, opened in 1941. All through my childhood, these two dominated the Square. They didn't look much alike, yet everybody agreed they belonged together. I think I know why people blended the signs into a single whole: Both signs were dramatizations of danger and deliverance from danger.
The waterfall, a city block long, had a tremendous seething flow. At night, everything in the Square seemed to flow toward it. If you stood there and looked at it for a while, it could put you in a kind of trance, you could lose track of everything around you. The falls were high off the ground, but was there a way you could fall in? Could kids fall in? Was there something there that we couldn't see but that could pull us in? On the northern and southern fringes of the waterfall, there were giant bronze statues of a man and a woman. Looking at photos today, I see I was right about them: They were naked! No clothes at all! And yet they were totally unsexy. Not that my cousins and my friends and I knew much about sex, but still we could feel its absence. The compelling thing about these statues was their solemnity. There was a Longfellow poem we read in school, beginning "This is the forest primeval," where the great trees
Stand like Druids of eld, with voices sad and prophetic. . . .
Were the bronze statues so solemn because they were guarding us from the edge, from falling in, from fatal currents and hidden rocks that we couldn't see or even imagine, but that they knew all too well? Did the danger come, in some weird way, from the smart clothes themselves and from the BOND?
The Camel sign just below the waterfall was something else. Here was another giant adult, and a man in uniform,4 too--which meant, in the 1940s, somebody who was risking his life to protect us all from Hitler. Who was Hitler? Somebody who had magic powers to raise fabulous armies that killed so many Jews (my grandma's whole extended family was trapped in Lithuania; they were all killed), and so many other people. But this Camel smoker was ready to take Hitler on. How did he fight? He blew smoke rings in the dictator's face. I thought, Wow! The smoke rings were collected from the building's heating system; they signified not only American bravery, but American cool. I loved standing beneath the sign, where I couldn't see the man at all, but I could see his rings; as long as they kept coming, I felt protected. My parents both were chain-smokers: They brushed each other's lips as they lit each other's cigs. I asked if they could blow rings like the sign did. My mother scoffed at it as a silly guy thing, but my father could do it, and he swore that someday so would I.
How signs change their meanings as time goes by! When I was thirteen, my father's doctor said he was seriously Under Stress, and he'd have to quit smoking right away. He did quit, with what struck me as remarkably little fuss. But before we knew it, he was dead anyway. After he died, I turned bitter and cynical and angry. I never became a smoker, and that Camel sign became gall and wormwood to me. When our family went to Times Square and took our baths of light, I would start to rant when we got near the sign. I would say it was really an ad for American imperialism. All around the world we promise to protect people, but we're spreading more death than life; as for that kid, the soldier-smoker, he is an addict and he doesn't even know it; we kill our own kids along with all the others for the tobacco companies' sake. My mother's overall political sense was fairly close to mine, but she couldn't translate it into rage against the sign. For her, the sign's basic truth was the playful young man who had won her heart in the Square all those years ago. The act of smoking became a kind of seance that could bring that young man back to her. I thought the Surgeon General's Report would give her pause; but she said the fact that the smoker put himself in danger only made him nobler. When I went to Columbia and read King Lear, she read along with me. As we read together, it felt like smoke was coming out of her ears. She said, "It's how I defy the foul fiend.&

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

EDIT: People keep visiting this post which doesn't have much good information so I'll put this here to help you guys:
Try setting the
backgroundColor property of your
UIView. For example:
myView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor];
Make sure your view has been instantiated and if it is controlled by an xib or storyboard at all, make sure that the view has already been loaded (otherwise whatever is set in interface builder will become the background color). If that doesn't work, something weird is going on. Keep looking, this post won't help you.
Original post:
I have an NSObject with a UIView property. Mostly I use this UIView for displaying a picture, but in some cases, I want to set the background color of it. However, each time I try to set the background color, the color stays as clear. Any images or other subviews appear but the background does not. How can I change the background color of a UIView? Here is some of my code:
here is an example where I need a tiled image: (this is in a function called after I add the UIView to the viewcontroller's view)
(picture is a UIView Property)
picture.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"Tile.png"]];
I have also tried in other cases:
picture.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0 green:1 blue:1 alpha:0.5];
In both cases, the background remains clear.

It's important to keep yourself prepared for every gig. Your guitar may look great and your amp may be top of the line, but without cables no one is ever going to hear them. Luckily, there is a wide assortment of instrument cables available to suit the needs of any musician. You might be surprised to learn that there are a lot of things to keep in mind when you're purchasing instrument cables. First you need to ask yourself "What am I going to be using this for?" Different cables are ideal for different jobs. For example, if you're daisy chaining your collection of pedals, you may want to check out the DiMarzio Jumper Cable Pedal Coupler or the Musician's Gear Pedal Coupler Cable Angled. Both are conveniently sized to allow you to maximize your pedal setup without having to deal with annoying tangles. However, there are times when a shorter cable simply will not do, especially if you want the freedom to roam the stage while you're performing. With options available ranging from 4 feet to over 25 feet, you won't feel restricted to one area of when you're playing your instrument.
For those who are looking for a little flash when they're playing, there are several instrument cables available to help you stand out. The Musician's Gear Tweed Right Angle Instrument Cable offers a seriously hip design that's definitely going to complement your style. If you're into more of a retro vibe, the Lava Retro Coil 20 Foot Instrument Cable Straight-Right Angle is a total blast from the past, with a cool, head turning coil design. Durable cables are easily overlooked for their role in your sound, but without them, you're probably not going to get very far. With an assortment of cables at your disposal, you will be ready to plug in and play without issue, making them a must have for any musician

The dust hasn't even settled around the Jay Bouwmeester trade and already numerous hockey sites are analyzing the deal, selecting a winner. It's always difficult to analyze a deal that involves prospects or picks as it could be years before we know exactly what the Blues gave up for their new defenseman. With that being said, early indications are that the Blues are the clear winner in this surprising trade. I took a brief look at Bouwmeester in the trade post yesterday, but let's build a bit on what the Blues are receiving from Calgary. Bouwmeester, 29, has one bloated contract. Checking in at $6.6 million a season, it'd be tough for almost any NHL defenseman to live up to that salary. Simply, Bouwmeester isn't worth that much money and he likely never will be. He's still under contract in 2013-14, but this trade will have to be reevaluated if the Blues sign him to a long-term extension. Now, moving away from the contract, Bouwmeester is still a reliable, d...

Not the sounds of planes taking off, Forbes Field was rocked with the sounds of explosives blasts Monday.
Nearly two dozen of these explosions were set off as part of training with the FBI.
The experts learned how different explosive devices work and how explosions can help them track criminals.
He says the unique signatures of bombs are what agents use to track down where the bombs may been built and who may have built them.
