I have a PPTP daemon V1.3.4 running on a CentOS server.
My client connections come from both Linux and Windows machines. When PPTP connection is active, the clients are unable to download full web pages from many websites (stackoverflow, twitter, ip-lookup for example). For some other websites, the clients are not even able to ping the IP address (imgur.com for example).
However they are able to download full web pages of Facebook, Youtube for example.
The CentOS server itself is able to download full web pages from all the web sites. It does not have any iptable rules despite a few masquerade rules in NAT table.
Please help, thanks.

The Boston Licensing Board yesterday ordered a four-day shutdown for Itadaki, 267-269 Newbury Street, after a BPD detective found four 18-year-olds sitting at a table with Bud Lights - and fake out-of-state IDs. Read more.
Japanese food
The Voice of Downtown Boston introduces us to PABU, a San Francisco Japanese restaurant that will open on two floors of the Millennium Tower next fall.
The modern izakaya and sushi bar will feature market-fresh menu with fish sourced locally from New England and flown in fresh from Japan's famous Tsukiji market.
In a city full of college students, in a world full of increasingly realistic fake licenses, restaurants and bars face a never ending battle to keep the pre-21 set from getting drinks. A Japanese restaurant on Newbury Street vows to try a new solution: Suing the families of the four teens who got it hauled before the Boston Licensing Board for serving underage drinkers. Read more.
A new take-out sushi place could open soon at 92 State St.
State Street Sushi will be open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. if the Boston Licensing Board tomorrow approves its request for a food-serving license. Nobody opposed the granting of a license at a hearing this morning.
The Boston Licensing Board yesterday granted a beer-and-wine license to Totto Ramen, 169 Brighton Ave.
Because Totto Ramen, the first Boston outlet of a New York City noodle chain, is in a city Main Street district, it won one of several new licenses authorized by the state legislature this year to encourage restaurant entrepreneurs in neighborhoods away from downtown and the waterfront. Unlike older licenses, this one cannot be sold outside of Allston.
North End culture clash: Hard-charging young professionals who demand a place to get dinner late at night vs. older residents who want some quiet
The Boston Licensing Board tomorrow considers a request from a North End restaurateur to open a sushi place on Salem Street that would stay open until 12:30 a.m. Thursday through Saturday.
Boston Restaurant Talk reports a deal to open a Wagamama on the other side of Fort Point Channel has fallen through, but that the chain is continuing to look for space in the up-and-coming area.
Well, maybe not yet. NorthEndWaterfront.com reports on a proposal to replace a closed mozzarella bar on Salem Street with a sushi bar. The place would be aimed not at tourists, but at North End residents looking for something other than Italian food, its lawyer said.
The owner of Vlora, 545 Boylston St., wants to sell the business - and its liquor license - to somebody who wants to re-open the place as Yamato II, serving Japanese food.
The transaction needs the approval of the Boston Licensing Board, which will hear from proposed Yamato II manager Ming Jiang at a hearing on Wednesday morning in its eighth-floor hearing room in City Hall.
The Huntington News interviews a South End man who now provides home delivery of piping hot ramen noodle dishes to the South End, Back Bay and Beacon Hill.
City officials backed and praised efforts by two culinary entrepreneurs to open a restaurant on Bunker Hill Street that will focus on small-plate dishes and pizza.
The Boston Licensing Board decides tomorrow whether to approve both a food-serving license for Brewer's Fork, 29 Bunker Hill St. and the request of owners John Paine and Michael Austin to buy the beer, wine and liqueurs license of a Japanese place in Chinatown for $75,000.
Cara Rubinsky asks:
Can anyone suggest a kid-friendly sushi place in/near Cambridge to take out-of-towners for lunch?

Rachel Blumenthal checks out Somerville's newest round-treat emporium: Union Square Donuts, where most donuts go for $3, but the maple-bacon specials will set you back $3.50 each:
I found them to be worth the splurge, but I wouldn't make a frequent habit out of it.
She also reports that Backbar is now making ramen, but that it only makes ten portions of the stuff a day.
Brad Kelly reports on the Yume Wo Katare ramen bar, which replaced Zing Pizza:
Liz recounts a sorry lunch at Osushi in Copley Place:
This place is only surviving on Groupon deals and unaware conference attendees. Don't go to Osushi (it's difficult to find in the mall, so maybe if you tried to go, you gave up and went somewhere else, anyway). There are plenty of less expensive sushi places in Boston that have fresh fish and good service.
Petit Robert Bistro, 1414 Commonwealth Ave., could soon make way for a Japanese eatery serving sushi, yakitori and ramen noodles.
Kentaro Suzuki went before the Boston Licensing Board yesterday for permission to buy the French restaurant's beer and wine license so that he can open Ittoku.
Lawyer Jared Chrislip said Suzuki will pay a total of $200,000 to Petit Robert Bistro's owners for the right to move from French to Japanese. He said about $70,000 of that would go specifically for the alcohol license.

A Christmas tree isn't complete without a pretty tree topper. Whether it's a simple bow, a beautiful bouquet, or a unique tree topper you can make yourself, these Christmas tree toppers will inspire your holiday decorating.
A wooden block letter is transformed into a creative tree topper with some paint and holiday-color ribbon. Paint your letter a desired color; let dry. Measure strips of glittery ribbon to fit across your letter and adhere in place using hot glue. Secure a paper towel roll to the back of your letter with hot glue and slip onto top of tree.
Rolls of old book pages come together in this pretty paper tree topper with a vintage feel.
Add instant charm to your Christmas tree with this easy tree topper. Cut a star shape from thick paper or cardstock. Cut out a black and white photo, mat it with colored paper, and glue it to the center of the star. Secure the star to a rolled paper cone or paper towel tube with glue, and carefully set your star on your tree's highest branches.
For a look that's perfect for both indoor and outdoor trees, tie a big bow around a cob of red Indian corn. Hot-glue a small red ribbon to the bigger ribbon for a coordinated look. Use a wire to hang the bell from the Indian corn for a natural, musical tree topper.
Even if you don't have a white Christmas, your tree can be topped with the prettiest of snowflakes. Grab a bunch of Popsicle sticks and spray-paint them white; let dry. Using hot glue and starting with the base of the snowflake, glue the painted Popsicle sticks together, following the photo as a guide. Once your snowflake is finished, let it dry. Tuck into the top branches of your tree and secure with a bit of wire as needed.
This tree topper lends an antique look to your tree. Print a black silhouette on white paper. Cut it out, and fit the paper into a gold oval frame. Top the frame with a red bow and let the ribbon ends cascade down the branches.
Editor's Tip: You can create a silhouette by tracing a family member's shadow onto white paper. Create a pattern, resize to fit your frame, and trim from black cardstock.
This yummy tree topper makes for a sweet Christmas decoration. The fun red-and-white pattern will fit in with any decorating theme.
Wire big green faux hydrangeas to the top of your tree for an blooming tree topper that fits the Christmas color scheme. Let the leaves hang down to draw attention to the seasonal beauty.
Craft a star from Tinker Toys for a whimsical and fun tree topper on the cheap. Use green, red, and yellow wooden sticks to make the star festive.
An unused black hat makes the perfect addition to your Christmas tree. Wrap a light blue ribbon around a plain black hat; embellish with a button and a poinsettia bracht. Dust with a bit of fake snow, and put it on top of your tree for a fun and classic look.
A big yellow star is a traditional tree topper, but when made from felt, this ornament literally becomes the star of the show. Cut two identical stars from yellow felt and stitch them together. Stick the star between two top branches. Don't worry about the star being perfect -- imperfections just add to the charm.
A satin gold ribbon tied in a dainty bow to a top branch adds a lavish embellishment to your tree. Let the ends of the ribbon hang down to draw extra attention.
For miniature trees, this paper topper is perfect. To make, cut holiday-color or pattern scrapbook paper to a 22x2-1/2-inch strip and accordion-fold along a scoring board. Gather into a fan shape and hot-glue the ends together to form a circle. Repeat this process with a smaller strip of solid-color paper. Using a round scallop punch, punch a tag from white cardstock and stamp a message with red ink. Layer the paper and adhere together using hot glue. Glue a strip of ribbon to the back of the paper to tie around the top of your tree.
Star tree toppers are always popular. Give yours a twist of style by covering it with strips of Christmas carol sheet music and outline it with glitter.
Crown your tree at Christmastime with this easy-to-make tree topper. Measure a strip of paper to fit around the top of your tree. Cut out triangles on one edge to form a crown shape, then secure the paper edges together with a bit of tape or glue. Slip over the top of your tree to give it a royal look.
Make this glistening version of the ever-popular star tree topper from lengths of wired pearl beads. Twist five strands of pearls around a 3-inch foam circle to form a five-point star. Stick the pearl sprigs into the foam, and secure them with glue. Cut some pearls from extra sprigs and glue them to the front of the star to fill in the shape.
Make a custom tree topper by inserting narrow sticks into a foam ball. Spray-paint with the color of your choice. When dry, spray with spray adhesive and sprinkle with glitter. Tip: The topper will be most secure if one of the sticks is left long (about 18 inches) so it can be wired to a tree branch.

I'm setting up the official FB plugin and have some questions about the comment functionality. I don't know if it's not working correctly on my blog or if I don't understand what it is supposed to do.
This is my desired setup:
1. I post an item to WP, it posts to FB.
2. A comment is left on site (via the WP blog) and it also posts to the
auto-post created in bullet 1.
3. If a comment is left on the FB autopost, it also shows up on the WP
blog post.
4. Comments get logged into the WP comment system
What the plugin actually seems to be doing:
1. I post an item to WP, it posts to FB. Unless I post via the iOS app,
then it goes to the blog, but doesn't get pushed to FB.
2. If a comment is posted on the WP blog, it shows up on the WP blog`
but not the FB post.
3. If a comment is posted on FB, it shows up on FB, but not on the WP
4. Comments don't get logged into WP commentsystem
Are my expectations off or is there something wrong in my setup?

Blood supplies low after Isidore, could worsen if Lili hits locally
Published: Tuesday, October 1, 2002 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, September 30, 2002 at 11:00 p.m.
HOUMA - Officials with The Blood Center have issued a community-wide call for donors following Tropical Storm Isidore.
The storm forced the cancellations of several blood drives and closed blood donation centers causing a drop in the supply of all blood types.
"Extreme weather brings with it a serious threat to our local blood supply," said Billy Weales, vice president of hospital and community resources for The Blood Center. "Collections were set back for a full two days, which caused a drop in our inventory."
Weales said The Blood Center is encouraging all blood types to donate now to help restore the blood supply to safe levels.
He said donors are needed immediately "especially with Lili looming in the Gulf."
Blood Center officials say they try to maintain a three-day supply of 1,200 to 1,400 pints of blood. To accomplish the goal, officials must collect 300 to 350 pints of blood per day.
"We are generally out in the community every day, with the exception of certain holidays like Christmas and Mardi Gras," he said. "Not collecting for a full two days in the middle of the week can be a major setback for us."
Officials at Terrebonne General said the blood bank there has kept pace, however.
"Right now our inventory is adequate," said Trudy Steib, Terrebonne General's blood-bank supervisor. "Prior to hurricane season we make sure our inventories are adequate, so we're actually doing pretty good."
A nonprofit organization, The Blood Center depends on volunteers, which helps provide more than 40 hospitals in south Louisiana and the Mississippi Gulf Coast with blood and blood components needed for area patients.
Healthy individuals, at least 17 years old and weighing more than 110 pounds, are eligible to donate.
The nearest Blood Center location is at 604 Canal Blvd. in Thibodaux. The center's hours are from 1 to 8 p.m. Monday to Thursday. For information, call 447-1774.
Terrebonne General's blood bank, which is located on the first floor of the hospital in Houma, is open from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

There are better looking tin cans but they rarely have such a good pedigree as the rusty, armour-plated bus once used by Margaret Thatcher and sold in Britain for nearly £17,000 (20,000 euros, $26,000).
The 28-tonne "battle bus" was apparently built in the 1980s for the former prime minister's tour of Northern Ireland, the British-controlled province which at the time was a hotbed of sectarian violence.
At an auction on Thursday night it sold for £16,940 to a vehicle collector, beating its £10,000 guide price, according to Jonathan Humbert of JP Humbert Auctioneers in Northamptonshire, central England.
"There was immense interest in the bus," he said. "It sold to a spontaneous round of applause in the saleroom."
According to Humbert, the bus was commissioned by the British government and furnished with its own auxiliary generator and air supply, with the perhaps rather optimistic hope that it would be "chemical, biological and nuclear proof".
With room for 35 passengers, it was used for the Iron Lady herself and government ministers before being turned over to the army for troop deployments, although it only clocked up 28,000 kilometres (17,400 miles).

The popular social media network, Facebook, experienced another service disruption on Sunday morning, leaving users with blank feeds after they logged in.
Just before 8:40am, News 4 This Morning's producer noticed that his Facebook feed was coming up blank. It was confirmed that this problem was being experienced in other areas. On Twitter, Dragoon in North Carolina reported their Facebook was down at 8:43. Sean in Ireland was also experiencing an outage at 8:44am. Tywana said she saw a "Network Error" message at the top of her Facebook page at 8:56am.
It was back online just after 9:15am for most across the world.
However, not everyone was sad to see the social network down. On Twitter, Foal Papers responded to the outage, saying, "Glory, Glory, hallelujah."

Workout Routines and New Ideas for Fitness
Explore your fitness options and nurture a love of movement.
Fitness isn't just a plan you embark on, along with a diet, to lose weight. It's a lifelong love of movement that will help you maintain good health and the physique you want. We've compiled some workout routines and ideas to help you along your way.
These recommendations will help you evolve your workout routine and activity plan. The theme is picking something you love doing, and nurturing your feelings every step of the way.
After you read through these workout options, consider journaling to explore your fitness habits, desires, and goals.
Level One: Workout Ideas and Recommendations
Begin by expanding your definition of exercise: You don't need to run, sweat, or grunt -- any opportunity to partake in activity counts as exercise!
If you feel uncomfortable going to a gym, a 10-minute walk, twice weekly, is an excellent first step toward better fitness. If you enjoy and can afford it, get a regular massage as well. Consider buying a good beginner's exercise tape, too. (A tip: rent exercise videos from your local library and try them out to see which you enjoy.) Another great activity is gardening, an underrated form of stress reduction and exercise.
Get in touch with your physicality by using a Jacuzzi or sauna after a cool shower, or just by taking a bubble bath. Afterward, try some gentle stretching, perhaps followed by another cool-down shower and Jacuzzi. A facial is another good way to reconnect your physical and mental being.
If you feel daring, consider karate, a dance class, or bowling. Enjoy the activities you pick, but don't make yourself continue with them any longer than you want to; for instance, don't force yourself to bowl three games if you feel like bowling only one. Remember that your goal is to make yourself healthier and fitter by nurturing yourself and reducing stress.
Level Two: Workout Ideas and Recommendations
Think about bowling, softball, or any other type of entry-level team activity. Many people who aren't natural-born athletes love team sports because of the combination of exercise and social interaction. (Mall-walking groups offer the same benefit if you're looking for something less strenuous.)

Good As Old
GUY LILLEMOE HAS been selling used cars out of his Cedar Lake Auto Exchange lot on East Lake Street for 50 years. He is 77 years old and says that "it's only the last three or four years, really, that this neighborhood has gone to shit. Despite the pimps and whores and the rest of these animals, I still come here to produce. That much hasn't changed--you still have to spend less than you make. It's only the end of the year that counts, and I'm still here. I haven't gone broke yet. I can tell a legitimate customer when I see one, and when some of these other characters come around I just get real busy and tell 'em the salesman has gone to lunch and won't be back."
The used-car lots up and down Lake Street from Minneapolis to St. Paul represent perhaps better than anything else the current balancing act between the old-city perseverance and new-city reality. Many of the dozen or so dealers are holdouts from the 1950s and '60s, when Lake Street was one of the premier cruising strips in the Twin Cities and the dealers drew their customers from the generation of working-class neighborhoods that were sprawled all around them.
Bob Anderson has been holding down the fort at his Mini Motors--"Non Smokers," the fading sign says--for 28 years. Mini Motors is indeed a miniature operation; Anderson's little wedge of asphalt on the corner of 37th and Lake has room for exactly nine automobiles, and the lot is all he has. He still lives in the neighborhood and is at his lot most days, washing cars or huddled in his little warming house-sized office, waiting for the customers who come less and less often. "This is strictly a one-man show," Anderson says, "When I go to lunch the place is closed." He shrugs, and says, "It's definitely not as easy as it once was. I can't compete with these big dealerships out on the highways, but what can I say? I like the business. It's in your blood. When I was a little kid instead of listening to the sermon in church I'd be doodling cars. In the old days you'd park a car in here and before it cooled off there'd be three kids looking at it. I specialized in high-performance cars--the GTOs, Roadrunners, and Mustangs--and all day every day there'd be cars lined up at this stop light out here for two or three blocks. Sometimes they'd have to sit through a couple red lights, and that gave them plenty of time to ogle my cars. Kids just cruising Lake, and they were tickled pink to find a Roadrunner they could afford. Three different times I sold every car off the lot in a single day. Now I'll pick up a car that I figure is a shoe-in to go quick and it'll just sit here for months."
Bob Kennedy Motors has been in business on Lake since 1951, and the tidy lot is a classic throwback to those good old days, complete with the requisite stringers of multi-colored shimmering flags and smiley-face stickers on the windshields of every car. The only obvious concession to the changing times is a baseball bat prominently displayed behind the desk in the office, where these days Bob Jr. carries on the family business. Bob Sr. got his start working up the street for Lillemoe and officially retired in 1990, although he still keeps regular hours at his lot. "He says if he sat around at home my mother would divorce him," Bob Jr. says. On a recent afternoon, the Kennedys were hanging out in the office shooting the shit with a neighborhood customer, Ronald Winslow, who had dropped in to buy a car. "Another Marquis," Winslow says. "Those cars look like a dream. I've lived in this neighborhood for 40 years and I've bought three cars here. All five of my kids have bought their cars from Bob."
"You should have had more kids," Bob Sr. says.
Despite Winslow's observation that "it's gotten mighty dark around here, even in the daytime," neither of the Kennedys is in any mood to complain about the neighborhood.
"Sure, things have changed," Bob Jr. says, "but Lake Street is still a good location, lots of traffic surrounded by working-class neighborhoods. Between wholesaling and retail we still probably move 500 cars a year. We deal mostly with repeat customers, people who have been buying cars from us for years. We're real fussy about what we buy, nice clean cars without any rust. Good runners, and we always take care of people."
Most of the old-timers agree that there are now a lot of questionable characters peddling cars on Lake Street, weedy lots often selling salvaged or rebuilt cars under shaky financial arrangements. There are a number of lots in the "Buy Here/Pay Here" business, in which weekly or monthly payments are made directly to the dealer, the dealer keeps a set of keys, and missed payments often mean instant repossession.
"There are maybe three or four dealers on Lake Street today that I consider honorable," says Mel Cofman, the owner of another '50s holdover, 2900 Motor Sales. "There's no doubt that there are a lot of guys in this neighborhood that rip people off. But I don't care who you're dealing with, in the used-car business it's buyer beware. Even the new car dealers are far from lily white."
Todd Langland is the manager of the Auto Mart --"Quality Used Cars," the signs promise, "Daily Rental," "We Finance," "Low Down Payment"--and admits that he is wary of being "ripped by the press." The Auto Mart, Langland says, can finance a car for anyone, even bankrupts, through its arrangement with Credit Acceptance Corporation. "When people get in financial trouble their options are obviously limited," Langland says. "I try to get the best thing I can for people, and I think we give people more than a fair chance. I don't pressure anyone, but once they sign the papers it's essentially out of our hands."
Back up the street, Lillemoe is still out in his lot with a hose, washing tires. A visitor wonders if the thought of retirement ever crosses his mind. Lillemoe scowls and shakes his head emphatically. "I see all these people who retire and then they get so damned bored that they end up bagging groceries at Byerly's," he says. "And then there are the others who just become a goddamn nuisance. Friends of mine. They've all got nose problems, coming around here and eavesdropping on the sales. No, I tell them the same thing I told you, goddamn it, I still come here to produce. Get lost. I'm still selling cars."

As expected (hoped?), the Cleveland Browns and head coach Pat Shurmur are using their extended time away from the playing field to do a bit of tinkering with rotations and play-calling. While the obvious benefactor thus far is wide receiver Greg Little who was promoted to starting "X" receiver alongside Mohammed Massaquoi (replacing Brian Robiskie), another weapon for Colt McCoy will likely come in the form of additional snaps for tight end Evan Moore.
Moore, who had seen a considerable drop in snaps and targets over the past two games – leading to a bit of frustration following the loss to the Titans – appears to be in line for a reversion back to usage rates akin to the first two weeks of the season. Given Shurmur's words following Monday's practice, it appears that not only will Robiskie see a decrease in snaps due to Little's promotion, but the Browns could in turn use wide receivers even less than they have to this point.
Truly, it comes down to pure math and the fact that the team would like to keep tight end Ben Watson on the field as much as possible. See for yourself.
If Watson is a "three-down" receiving threat and the Browns will implement a three-receiver rotation between Massaquoi, Little and Cribbs, until the league allows the Browns a legal 12th man on offense, this leaves two on-field spots that will have to be shared by a receiver, Moore and a running back of choice – Peyton Hillis, anyone?
The team appears to be struggling with Moore and his lack of run-blocking; they do not want his insertion into a formation to signal to the opposition that a pass play is on its way. This is where Alex Smith comes in – a superb blocker, Smith just leaves a lot to be desired in terms of receiving and (apparently) tackling. The issue becomes whether Shurmur and his offense should pay the best players which could lead to the highest rate of success (i.e. Smith in run situations), or attempt to create mismatches which can lead to even bigger plays if executed correctly.
Splitting Moore out wide is an obvious option, negating any real liability on the blocking front and – more often than not – providing a mismatch with a small defensive back lined up across from the 6-foot-6-inch end. Making Moore a part of two-end sets could provide a linebacker in coverage or confuse the opposing defense into thinking a pass is coming and allow for Hilis to do his thing on an unsuspecting front seven. Throw motion into the mix and look out as Shurmur and Colt McCoy should have options galore, especially when teams combat No. 89 with a nickel back.
Naturally, Moore's bread-and-butter resides in the red zone. Unfortunately, it's getting into said zone that has become a bit of an issue as of late. Save for a huge drive against the Miami Dolphins and the garbage time touchdown to Watson against the Titans, it will be nearly three weeks since the Browns have had a successful, elongated drive. Recall, both scores prior to Watson snag were huge field goals by Phil Dawson, both coming from way outside the 20-yard line.
Alas, whether Shurmur does have plans in place to get his playmakers involved or if this is merely coachspeak fueled by reporter questions remains to be seen. The Browns will get back to work for the next several days before boarding the cross-country flight to Oakland where they will take on an emotionally-charged Raiders team; playing in the black hole will not help matters much. Here's hoping that Moore's frustration last week comes with an ultimate reward. That reward: a head coach who realizes what he has in his players and is willing to admit mistakes and make the necessary changes even if said change involves the demotion of a third-year, high-second-round receiver from The Ohio State University.

Character (arts)
A character (or fictional character) is a person in a narrative work of art (such as a novel, play, television series or film).[1] Derived from the ancient Greek word χαρακτήρ, the English word dates from the Restoration,[2] although it became widely used after its appearance in Tom Jones in 1749.[3][4] From this, the sense of "a part played by an actor" developed.[4] Character, particularly when enacted by an actor in the theatre or cinema, involves "the illusion of being a human person."[5] In literature, characters guide readers through their stories, helping them to understand plots and ponder themes.[6] Since the end of the 18th century, the phrase "in character" has been used to describe an effective impersonation by an actor.[4] Since the 19th century, the art of creating characters, as practiced by actors or writers, has been called characterisation.[4]
A character who stands as a representative of a particular class or group of people is known as a type.[7] Types include both stock characters and those that are more fully individualised.[7] The characters in Henrik Ibsen's Hedda Gabler (1891) and August Strindberg's Miss Julie (1888), for example, are representative of specific positions in the social relations of class and gender, such that the conflicts between the characters reveal ideological conflicts.[8]
The study of a character requires an analysis of its relations with all of the other characters in the work.[9] The individual status of a character is defined through the network of oppositions (proairetic, pragmatic, linguistic, proxemic) that it forms with the other characters.[10] The relation between characters and the action of the story shifts historically, often miming shifts in society and its ideas about human individuality, self-determination, and the social order.[11]
Classical analysis of character[edit]
In the earliest surviving work of dramatic theory, Poetics (c. 335 BCE), the Classical Greek philosopher Aristotle deduces that character (ethos) is one of six qualitative parts of Athenian tragedy and one of the three objects that it represents (1450a12).[12] He understands character not to denote a fictional person, but rather the quality of the person acting in the story and reacting to its situations (1450a5).[13] Aristotle defines character as "that which reveals decision, of whatever sort" (1450b8).[13] To Aristotle, "[W]ithout action a tragedy cannot exist, but without characters it may. For the tragedies of most recent [poets] lack character, and in general there are many such poets" (1450a24-25).[14] Aristotle argues for the primacy of plot (mythos) over character (1450a15-23):[12]
But the most important of these is the structure of the incidents. For (i) tragedy is a representation not of human beings but of action and life. Happiness and unhappiness lie in action, and the end [of life] is a sort of action, not a quality; people are of a certain sort according to their characters, but happy or the opposite according to their actions. So [the actors] do not act in order to represent the characters, but they include the characters for the sake of their actions.
Aristotle introduced the tripartite division of characters as superior to the audience, inferior, or at the same level.[15] Tractatus coislinianus similarly defined three character types in Ancient Greek comedy: buffoon (bômolochus), ironist (eirôn), and imposter or boaster (alazôn).[16] All three are central to Aristophanes' Old Comedy.[17]
When the Roman Plautus wrote his plays two centuries later, using characters to define dramatic genres was well established.[18] His Amphitryon begins with a prologue in which Mercury claims that since the play contains kings and gods, it cannot be a comedy and must be a tragicomedy.[19]
Types of characters[edit]
Round vs. flat[edit]
In his book Aspects of the novel, E. M. Forster defined two basic types of characters, their qualities, functions, and importance for the development of the novel: flat characters and round characters.[20] Flat characters are two-dimensional, in that they are relatively uncomplicated. By contrast, round characters are complex figures with many different characteristics, that undergo development, sometimes sufficiently to surprise the reader.[21]
Dynamic vs. static[edit]
Dynamic characters are the ones that change over the course of the story, while static characters remain the same throughout.
Regular, recurring and guest characters[edit]
In television, a regular, main or ongoing character is a character who appears in all or a majority of episodes, or in a significant chain of episodes of the series.[22] Regular characters may be both core and secondary ones.
A recurring character often and frequently appears from time to time during the series' run.[23] Recurring characters often play major roles in more than one episode, sometimes being the main focus.
A guest character is one which acts only in a few episodes or scenes. Unlike regular characters, the guest ones do not need to be carefully incorporated into the storyline with all its ramifications: they create a piece of drama and then disappear without consequences to the narrative structure, unlike core characters, for which any significant conflict must be traced during a considerable time, which is often seen as an unjustified waste of resources. [24] There may also be a continuing or recurring guest character .[25] Sometimes a guest character may gain popularity and turn into a regular one. [26]
Creation of characters[edit]
In fiction writing, authors create dynamic characters by many methods, almost always by using their imagination to create vivid characters. Sometimes characters are conjured up from imagination; in other instances, they're created by amplifying the character trait of a real person into a new fictional creation; in other situations they're created from scratch as a matter of expediency.
Original characters[edit]
A character may be created by a fan fiction author or role-player. The created character does not belong to the canon cast but is inserted anyway for entertainment. Original characters (OCs) overlaps current series or existing series. Many OCs appear as long-lost family members, past lovers, or exchange students. These background stories provide alibis for the sudden appearance and previous absences of the OC. OC may also stand for "other character" or "own character," in this case representing an extremely minor character, introduced or mentioned but not extremely active in an original series.
Mary Sues are characters mainly appearing in fan fiction. They are virtually devoid of flaws and are therefore considered flat characters.

Simple Pleasures
Simple Pleasures: The Only Reason 'The Megan Mullally Show' Existed, Really
You might not even remember that there was a Megan Mullally Show, but there was. It's mostly forgotten, except for this appearance by the cast of How I Met Your Mother (then a much younger show), which resulted in ... well, just watch. It's the reactions of Josh Radnor and Alyson Hannigan that always make me laugh, just as much as the main event.
(You didn't really think I could get through an entire day of simple pleasures without NPH singing, did you?)

SDCC: Marvel: Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends Panel
Comic Books
The solicitations for DC's May titles hit earlier today, bringing official word that five DC series have been canceled. Doom Patrol, JSA All-Stars, Freedom Fighters and R.E.B.E.L.S. join The Outsiders on the chopping block. They follow Azrael, Batman: Streets Of Gotham and Batman Confidential, which met their ends in March.
Looking at the most recent month-to-month sales figures for DC that Mark-Oliver Frisch analyzes on The Beat, it's not surprising to see any of these titles ending. Probably the biggest surprise, if you were looking just at the numbers, is JSA All-Stars, which looks to be selling better than other monthly series not getting the axe, like Booster Gold and Power Girl. I bet many of the characters in it will find their way back to the flagship JSA title.
Freedom Fighters co-writer Jimmy Palmiotti commented on the cancellation of the book on Twitter, noting, "If a book doesn't break even or make a profit, it gets cancelled and opens up the door for another title," he said. "Wait for the big picture. things get cancelled and others get green lit. the nature of publishing."
Doom Patrol, Freedom Fighters, Outsiders and L.E.G.I.O.N./R.E.B.E.L.S. have all ended before — despite their name, Doom Patrol has been resurrected four times since the original series ended — and no doubt they'll all be back again somewhere down the road.
Shame about Doom Patrol and R.E.B.E.L.S. They'd actually go quite well together if this were 1970-something, and anthologies were still vogue.
Considering I read all those books this definitely sucks.
Ack! I love DP and Freedom Fighters! i read AllStars because I'm obsessed w/JSA. Guess my budget just cleared some space. Still though, would rather have the books.
Sad to hear that Freedom Fighters couldn't even break even.
Unfortunately, that was a title I was waiting on the trade for. Who knows if that will even come out now.
Batman Confidential… The book they cancelled the long-running Legends of the Dark Knight for, dies after a relatively brief — and incredibly disappointing — run. Of course, LotDK was mostly a shadow of its former self by the time it ended its run too. But still. Why did they cancel that book for another one that was never all that good, a couple of decent story arcs aside?
As someone who considers Bruce Wayne to be the one and only Batman (I'm fine with Batman Beyond and I enjoyed that TV show), and someone who's not interested in Grant Morrison's take on Batman, it's really sad that a series based on tales from Batman's past just wasn't a terribly compelling read. Of course, I feel that way about pretty much everything DC's doing these days. I'm giving the new The Dark Knight title a chance, so we'll see how that book turns out.
this run of freedom fighters was pretty much just another 8 issue miniseries, so it's not a big disappointment.
I'm surprised zatanna and thunder agents are still running, though i'm sure there's some mysterious magic behind that.
Shaun, Confidential lost its way quite a while back. It stopped being about tales from Batman's past and turned into essentially LOTDK. The fact that Guggenheim's story was asked to be written pretty much when the series first started is why the book is sorta ending as it began.
But you can look at most of the stuff in the middle and go "What does this have to do with Batman's past?"
Ugh. They cancel good books sadly and even cancel the better JSA book. The regular book is horrible right now. Glad to see fake azriael gone and Dan Dido's mess that was the Outsiders gone too.
Doom Patrol and R.E.B.E.L.S. are two out of the five books I buy from DC each month, and are my favorite books from DC.
Pretty bummed out about "Freedom Fighters" (waiting for the trade) and "R.E.B.E.L.S." being cancelled – have not read the new "Doom Patrol" yet, so I guess there is still time to be bummed out about that one too.
How did I miss "Streets of Gotham" getting cancelled? Am I the only one that liked that series?
What about "Sluggo Adventures"? Please tell me its not cancelled!!!
Damn shame about REBELS, one of my favorite books.
Shame about these books getting canned.
Sigh. Lots of really good books just not making it for DC. REBELS was really good and DOOM PATROL was good fun. Shame to see them go the way of other past favorites like Manhunter, Blue Beetle, Checkmate, Shadowpact, Atom (Ryan Choi), even as far back as H-E-R-O (relaunched Dial H) And Suicide Squad mini didn't even make the numbers needed to merit a regular series.
I'm just glad Booster Gold and Secret Six made the cut.
As long as they keep publishing Jonah Hex I'll have at least one DC book to pick up every month.
I get that it's a business but I can't help but think that if there weren't 35 "Bat" books every month, a lot of people might have had a few extra dollars around to try one or more of these quality comics. To a lesser extent, does anybody need multiple "just okay" Teen Titan or Justice League/Society or Green Lantern books? How about they just publish ONE REALLY GOOD example of each of those a month? Right now I'm not reading ANY of those books (not that I dislike the characters. It's just that – like Cosmo Kramer observed – sometimes enough is enough) so there's a huge chunk of DC's output that I have no interest in. I'm reading (at least for a couple more months) Doom Patrol, an occasional Jonah Hex, and that's about it. DC has a huge history of great characters but, at least in the context of ongoing series, most of them are going to waste at this point. If I'm a business owner (and I play one in real life), ideally I want a wide range of customers interested in a WIDE range of my products/services/ideas/etc., not all of my customers interested in only a small selection. The wider my base, the more I'm able to build on top of it and remain stable (think pyramid.) The smaller my base of interest, the more instability in whatever I put on top of it (think inverted pyramid.) Anyway, just my $.02…
…not to mention 3 Legion books. I really, really like the Legion but no way do I need 3 average Legion books a month. One really good one – absolutely. Otherwise, don't waste my time.
I get the feeling all these books are getting axed so that people will be more "inclined" to pick up all the Flashpoint minis coming out.
Can't be giving readers a choice now can we. Nope. Its Geoff Johns' opus or nothing.
the point people are missing is that these books were selling low numbers long before any flashpoint minis were announced or placed on the schedule…
Sales drives books and if retailers and readers don't buy the books then they wont be on the schedule much longer no matter how many Bat titles there are or Flashpoint titles….
If readers don't pick up those Flashpoint of Bat titles they wont make them….
This is a busainess and somewhere along the line business decisions get made no matter what the collective fandom would like to think.
This isn't the fault of DC– this is a reaction to readership and retailer habits.. plain and simple.
I read 4 of the 5 books being cancelled. I wouldn't read R.E.B.E.L.S. because I hated what they did with Starro. But quite frankly I'm not surprised by the cancellations. Didio made a mess of The Outsiders, Giffen's writing has pretty much been a death knell for any comic he wants to do, JSA All-Stars was a bit silly but I'm surprised Freedom Fighters didn't get a bit more rope.
At least give DC credit for staying with these titles as long as they did. Azrael has been a good book since I started reading from issue 1, especially when Hine came on bored. It is too bad a good book like this has to get cancelled.
Sure Batman has totally too many books at the moment. But which Green Lantern book would you call just "okay"? Of the 20 DC books I get each month, all of the GL books rank high, they are only topped by Secret Six and Batman Inc. at the moment.
Too bad about REBELS, I had considered adding it to my pull list this week 'cause of the new characters coming in. And a FF trade would have been nice too.
Anyhow change is supposed to be good. DC has 5 slots to fill, opportunities maybe for a new Suicide Squad, Swamp Thing, Deadman, Phantom Stranger and Black Orchid book maybe?
I'm really disappointed that REBELS is getting cancelled. Admittedly, I switched to waiting for the trade awhile back as I imagine it'll read better that way. I hope we'll see those characters back somehow.
REBELS—Starro again and again–lost me. Didn't get to Freedom Fighters. Surprised Zatanna is still going, for a book clamoured for for so long it hasn't lived up to the hype. THUNDER AGENTS is a terrific book–just picked them all up two days ago and can't believe I didn't jump on board sooner. Outsiders–thank god–Didio should stick to his day job–whatever that is. Giffen–he should be cancelled and not the books he works on. Never understood what the big deal with Giffen is. My opinion of course.
Maybe the DOOM PATROL will be back with Morrison and Case.
I am surprised no one has mentioned the new price point? I wonder if some of these books were at $3.99 if they wouldn't have been axed? Or if other better selling books had been at $3.99, if it could have saved some of these?
I think this will come as a shock to many people because its so many titles at once. But Marvel cancelled so many ongoing titles last year, all at different times of the year. The eight we've lost here between March and May are probably equal to the amount that Marvel shed in the last 12 months or so (give or take).
And 22 issues for a Doom Patrol comic strikes me as not too shabby, it could have been a lot less. S.W.O.R.D. only got five issues.
If one of your faves got cancelled, just hope the creators from that book get an even more exciting project next time. Was Bedard still on R.E.B.E.L.S.? I think he'd be a really good fit for a Plastic Man ongoing, hopefully that'll be one of the new titles DC will have room for now.
I notice alot of people here mention waiting for the trade. That's where DC and especially Marvel don't get it, if some writers draw their stories out and each individual issue can't stand alone then trade waiting is the best option. If your comics are $3.99 a piece and a trade collecting a certain number of issues is cheaper, then trade waiting is the best option. I can honestly say that I've dropped a good portion of $3.99 issues from ALL publishersin the last few months and it's been kinder to my wallet. It's also allowed me to take a chance on some $2.99 comics that I wouldn't have given a second look to.
Instead of "to" I should have written "at". Sorry.
All of which adds weight to me why DC should start with a limited series (nice tight story arc, easily collectable incl into bound version) and see how that plays before going for another limited series or leaping to an ongoing run. I see no reason why this can't work with major event tie-ins – just have a limted run related to that…
The only two I was buying are Doom Patrol & JSA All-Stars.
DP was good but suffers from Giffen's "I'm paid by the word" style. He does great plotting and has talent for dialogue but, man, until he ever learns that "less is more", his books will always be cancelled. Just saying. I stress my first comment that this was a good book and worth a look.
JSA All-Stars: I buy it because I'm a JSA fan but I can never remember what happens from one issue to the next. Twice, I've missed issues and haven't noticed until months later. It's been hovering on my cutting block for awhile and as a rabid JSA fan, that's something. Completely boring book.
REBELS I've been curious about and heard good things.
Outsiders has looked like embarrassing trash since DiDio took over.
FF I didn't like the minis so I haven't even looked at this.
All valid points from everyone.
I was very sad and surprised when my comic book store told me about those cancellations. I read and really enjoy R.E.B.E.L.S. and Doom Patrol. That both those series have managed to stay for so many issues was a great and welcomed surprise as well. I was always expecting them to be axed every month…
I really liked the Freedom Fighters minis but thought that the ongoing was doomed from the start. There are just some series that should only be minis with a few months in-between each because they will be a good read and people won't have time to get bored with the characters or the storylines. Minis give the writers an opportunity to really tighten up their writing and deliver a stronger story in my opinion, and the FF minis were testament to that.
The first issues of Azrael were a bit disappointing but I stood with it and was rewarded with better stories and artwork afterwards. I'm just very sad it's gonna take me picking up some Batman titles to see where his stories go now…
Didn't care for JSA All-Stars as the artwork just reminded me of DC and Marvel's crazyness a few years back when they were just dishing out massive quantities of related titles of their best-selling flagships (all the JLA related titles of the 90's or MArvel's Spider-Man or X-Men's anthologies, all of which had bad stories and weird understanding of human physiology, making for very disappointing read, bleeding eyes and empty wallets). So I'm not sad to see it go.
I only get Batman trades anyway and then not all of them as THERE ARE JUST TOO DAMN MANY BATMAN TITLES!!!
So DC, listen to what most people have said above: less of the same and more of exciting, fresh and relevant concepts. The $2.99 cover price is a step in the right direction but do we really need that many Batman Inc. titles?
Wow, how can people complain that a book is being cancelled AND say in the same breath that they are waiting for the trade? It's the monthly issues, not the trades, that keep a title going. Grow up and buy a title monthly if you want it TP continue! Otherwise, DON'T FUCKING WHINE when it's gone!!!!

I didn't write this system so I don't really know what is going on.
I installed a new version of Visual Studio and something (I have no clue what it could be) might have changed because now when I try to set up a site it's just giving a 404.0 referencing the .dll.
The ISAPI .dll manages requests for the application so that is how pages get served up. If I make a test site with just index.htm in it the site works. But the mere act of putting the ISAPI .dll in the directory with that index.htm file causes it to start throwing the 404.0...forever. Even if you delete the ISAPI .dll from the directory the error stays.
I'm really confused so any general or vague ideas would still be greatly appreciated.

Warnock, who has completed the permanent signing of Michael Tonge from Stoke and drafted in Everton teenager Ross Barkley on loan in time for Saturday's derby clash at Barnsley, is hoping to strengthen his squad for a concerted promotion push during the second half of the season.
The club's new owners GFH Capital confirmed money would be made available for new players this month when they completed their takeover just before Christmas and Warnock will meet with chief executive Shaun Harvey on Friday to further discuss his recruitment strategy.
Warnock said: "The squad itself is in tip-top shape, we just need that little bit which we're looking for, to bring in to give us more strength from the bench and a bit more positivity from the side areas.
"But it's a nightmare for managers this transfer window really because I've already spoken about seven or eight players and they're not for sale, no matter what the agents told me, that they were all available.
"They tell you he's available and he'll cost you this, but when I speak to the managers I find out none of them are available. So that shows you how difficult it is. That's seven or eight players on my list and not one of them is available, they're not going to let any of them go."
Warnock added: "Me and Shaun are having a meeting (on Friday) specifically to go through one or two things that have cropped up and that's the way forward.
"We've got to try and come up with people who are available or who we can get out for a transfer fee. We're actively looking, absolutely and waking up thinking about it as well and thinking about it last thing at night. It's a nightmare for managers.
"We're looking for another couple to mix things up, to change things and there always the most difficult ones to get."

Wizarding World tidbits: more on JK Rowling tasting butterbeer, Forbidden Journey ride to have authentic Potter props and rooms in queue
Speaking with MTV's Hollywood Crush Blog, Universal's VP of creative development Thierry Coup (who we interviewed yesterday) has revealed more cool details about the park.
On the butterbeer front, we've learned more concerning JK Rowling's tasting of the drink:
Thierry: "It was really fun to be a part of the whole tasting different [attempts at butterbeer] to try until J.K. Rowling really felt, okay, this is it, this is what I always thought butterbeer should taste like," Coup shared with us in a phone interview. "It was a very exciting moment to see her smile and actually taste it. It's a delicious thing, first of all. It's everything you expected it to be."
We've also learned that there is plenty of work going on to make the Forbidden Journey queue as entertaining as possible:
When we asked him how young children would feel about some of the rides, he said even if they don't want to ride Forbidden Journey, the walk through Hogwarts castle would be worth it because they would be able to "visit all the iconic rooms" described in the "Harry Potter" books and movies.
Since Universal has been working with the films' production designer, Stuart Craig, and art director, Alan Gilmore, the rooms are supposed to be very accurate representations of the interior of Hogwarts — so much so that most of the props used in the rooms are the actual props from the films and are on lease from Warner Bros. Later releases from Universal will tell which rooms are going to be included in the castle — and whether actual actors will be recreating the scenes promised for the Forbidden Journey ride.

Hello, my name is Jason LaRivière, and I'm a designer and photographer living in Vancouver.
Right now I'm working with The Other
Jason to make apps for your iPhone. In
March April,
2015, we released Hereby,
the best way to chat anonymously with the people that surround you every
day. We're working on some other stuff, too.
Before that I was the Creative Director at Clio, where I led design for both the product and marketing teams. In 2014 our in-house team were Graphex Awards finalists for our work on Clio's iPhone app.
In 2008 I was at a small digital agency in Victoria, which is notable for having been sued by our most famous client, Ms Pamela Anderson.
In 2006 I was living and working in Winnipeg. That was, like, ten years ago. Nobody cares anything about that.
I take a lot of photos. I post some daily on a Tumblr blog, and sell prints of some others on my portfolio site. In January, 2016, I self-published the second volume of a quarterly journal called Flow—a roughly chronological catalogue of personal photography.
I'm generally terrible at maintaining a presence on Twitter—not for any lack of opinion, but for some other reason I'm unable to put a finger on just yet. Maybe it's apathy, or maybe it's a lack of interest, enthusiasm, or concern.
I'm easy to reach, and I have all the time in the world. Email me, and stay in touch.

Obama Showers Sorkin, Hathaway With Praise at Fund-raiser
They were the co-hosts, after all.
"[Sorkin] writes the way every Democrat in Washington wished they spoke," President Obama said during his remarks at a $35,800-per-plate Monday night fund-raiser at Harvey Weinstein's Connecticut home, where Aaron Sorkin and Anne Hathaway acted as co-hosts. (Is Sorkin's occasionally recycled dialogue really what Democrats aspire to, or was he just being polite?) He also had some nice things to say about Hathaway: "She's spectacular. I got a chance to see Batman, and she was the best thing in it. That's just my personal opinion." Hopefully he didn't just lose Christian Bale's vote.

Film The Absolute Slave
posted by November 21 at 12:09 PMon
What's missing in this image?
The chain:
Let's give the Princess Leia/Jabba the Hutt dynamic some thought. What is the meaning of this situation? To grasp the meaning, we must isolate the slave, Leia. We must remove her from the story. What is she in actuality? Her blood is royal. She holds a high position in the galactic society. So, her being a slave amounts to the ultimate shame. She has fallen from the very top to the very bottom of things. But could it happen any other way? A great person must have a great fall. How can you be great if your fall is not so great? To fall just part of the way down the social hierarchy is poor for a person of high standing. Even The Bible is aware of this fact: The fall, like the rise (or the return), must be total—the king/queen must become a slave, must become all that he/she is not.
Imagine if Princess Leia had fallen to the middle of the galactic society. Picture her selling robot parts in a small shop, haggling over prices, shaking hands when deals are struck. This fate is too shameful for her or any noble. No, all the way down she must go. The best for her is to be a slave, a zero, a chained body. An absolute power deserves nothing less than the absolute shame of being a powerless slave.

Apologies if the title doesn't quite make sense, I really have no idea what's going on here.
I have a 2-yr-old Lenovo X220 laptop with dual-boot Windows and Ubuntu which I often connect to a ~4-yr-old external 24" Samsung Syncmaster monitor (native resolution 1920x1200). Recently I wiped the Ubuntu partition and re-installed a more recent version (12.04, previously 10.10). Prior to this upgrade, both Ubuntu and Windows would automatically switch to 1920x1200 when attached to the monitor and the position, size etc of the image looked great. I vaguely remember tuning the monitor's V-pos/H-pos etc when I first got it but nothing radical. The laptop attaches to the monitor via VGA analog since it doesn't have any other video port.
After upgrading Ubuntu, when I went to Display settings under Ubuntu and selected 1920x1200, the image was way off -- the desktop is stretched off both sides of the screen but not evenly -- there was more hidden on the left side. I tried resetting the monitor to factory settings and toggling the "Image Size" setting between "Wide" and "Auto" (the latter is meant to detect e.g. 4:3 resolution VGA signal and display it as a square in the middle of the screen instead of stretched). When set to "Auto" the image actually does appear square even when set to 1920x1200 (which is wrong) but the hidden regions are still not visible. Hitting the "auto-adjust" button on the monitor doesn't improve things noticeably.
Now here's the weird part: essentially the same problem presents when I boot Windows, to which I had not made any changes. I also confirmed by plugging in a different laptop that the monitor is still capable of showing a correct 1920x1200 fullscreen image: hitting "auto-adjust" with the other laptop gives a perfectly framed image.
Furthermore, under either Windows or Ubuntu I can switch the resolution to e.g. 1650x1050 and get a perfect display. It's only 1920x1200 that's screwed up, on both OSes but only on this one laptop.
What the #%^$ is going on, and how can I fix it? How does this specific laptop and monitor "remember" to do the wrong thing even between OSes? I've tried booting from a liveUSB (Ubuntu) and the same problem presents: 1920x1200 is screwed up, other resolutions are fine.

PLYMOUTH – Divers recovered the body of a 19-year-old Brockton man from a pond at Ellis Haven Campground who reportedly went underwater and didn't resurface Sunday evening.
Jared Marshall, 19, of Brockton, was pulled from the pond and pronounced dead more than an hour after reportedly drowning, Plymouth County Assistant District Attorney Russ Eonas said Sunday evening.
Police received a 911 call just before 5:15 p.m. reporting that a teenage swimmer, later identified as Marshall, had gone underwater in a pond at Ellis Haven Campground and had not resurfaced for five minutes.
Marshall's family members and girlfriend who were on scene and witnessed the drowning said he had swum out to retrieve a float from the pond when he went underwater and didn't resurface, Eonas said.
"There's no suspicion of foul play and this is not being investigated as a crime," Eonas said. "The how and why are still under investigation."
Marshall's body was recovered from the pond approximately an hour later, according to fire and police radio transmissions from the scene.
Firefighters immediately activated the special operations and dive teams from both Plymouth Fire and the Massachusetts State Police while family members, police and the harbormaster helped searched the pond for the missing swimmer.
Police also search the campground, at 531 Federal Furnace Road, according to fire and police radio transmissions from the scene. Eonas said detectives assigned to the Plymouth County District Attorney's Office also responded to help with the investigation.
This is not the the first drowning at the family campground. 24-year-old East Bridgewater man drowned there in June 2010.
Swimming areas on the campground include Ellis Pond and Saby Pond and other locations.
