Just trying to get some help on a Roubo style bench I am planning. I just ordered 2 3×12x8 oak should be here in 7 days and picking up some walnut 1×3's I want to have between the pieces of oak. What is going to be my best way for joining. |

Be careful about grain orientation with your oak boards. A 3"x12" plank is very likely flatsawn. At a minimum, it will warp over time. Also, if you have the oak flatsawn while the walnut is oriented with the grain vertical (i.e., in a quartersawn orientation relative to the workbench surface), then the rate of expansion and contraction of the walnut and oak across the thickness of the workbench will be very different, and you will get significant ridges. You may even get splits. None of this is fatal for a workbench—you'll just have to flatten the workbench surface with your handplanes more often. To guard against this, you could rip the oak planks into 3"x3" pieces, then rotate them so the grain is quartersawn relative to the workbench surface, just like the walnut will be. This should largely reduce, if not elminate, warping and splitting. You may still get some ridges between the oak and walnut over time because different species expand and contract at different rates, but it will be much less than if you use the oak in its flatsawn state. Also, most people prefer the look of quartersawn oak to flatsawn oak. Good luck, and please post pics! -- Kelby |

If the boards are really rough you can clean up the edge on a tablesaw (attach a board with a straight edge to the timber prevent binding and kickback – will likely require two passes to cut all the way through). Also possible to clean up a face with a bandsaw, but a timber that size might be difficult to control. It's possible to do with a router sled also (you can search this site for more details) For final flattening for the joint, if you don't have access to a jointer, a jointer plane is a good alternative. I'm not sure what other methods will give you a truly flat surface for glue up. If you don't have a jointer you can also consider having the lumber yard flatten at least one side for you (possibly even take it to S4S); might cost a few bucks, but could save you some headaches versus raw lumber. -- John |

Thank You all for the feedback, lumber should be ready on the 20th, gonna look at it, might rip to 3×3 as suggested makes sense. |

This year, with more and more Canadians researching purchases and looking for gift inspiration online, Canadian Tire is positioning itself as Canada's go-to gift giving destination. It all starts with an engaging holiday campaign featuring its cheeky spokesperson sharing humorous advice. Add innovation with a brand new YouTube five-second "bumper" ad format and a little remarketing magic to target holiday shoppers. Canadians, meet Gary.
Advertisers, sharpen your digital marketing tools. Shopping season has begun.
This year it's not enough to be creative. You've got to know your customers and be ready with what they need, both online and offline, because the competition is now only a click, swipe, or tap away.
This holiday season retail icon Canadian Tire will be building on a year of celebrated digital work across all of its brands. With more Canadians planning on researching gifts online than ever before, it is ready with an innovative campaign to ultimately position Canadian Tire as Canada's Christmas Store and drive traffic to its online Gift Finder tool.
The resulting Canadian Tire Unexpected Gifts campaign is definitely one to watch. As delightfully funny in its creative as it is brilliant in its digital media strategy, it's poised to capture the right kind of attention from the ideal holiday shoppers.
Behind the campaign
The Unexpected Gifts campaign's central purpose is to bring awareness that Canadian Tire is a prime gift destination. Wrapping it with a little holiday humor is simply a bonus. The premise is simple: With 95,000 different products on store shelves, the country's biggest retailer promises it has the perfect something for absolutely everyone on the gift giver's list. It is Canada's Christmas store.
And who better to help the overwhelmed consumer with the task of nailing just the right gift for the hard-to-buy-for than Canadian Tire's affable brand ambassador Gary (Philippe in Quebec), the everyman of the gift advice world?
Creative agency Taxi laid the groundwork with TV spots featuring Gary dispensing unexpected gift advice in previous years. In this year's campaign, he's at it again, amping up the humor and digging even deeper for truly inspired gifts. "The kids' Snow Spray N' Stencil Kit. It'll get them to be creative. And out of the house."
Digital ingenuity
Canadian Tire is no stranger to YouTube TrueView ads. It has incorporated the skippable ad format in previous campaigns. But the Unexpected Gifts team was intent on using TrueView to take this one to another level by reaching an interested audience and driving home the entertainment value.
What it came up with is nothing less than brilliant.
Tribal Worldwide was called in to help extend these ads into the digital world by capturing the spirit of the creative and sharing it in new and engaging ways. And Touché, Canadian Tire's media AOR was intent on evolving the YouTube strategy to another level. They collaborated with long-standing partner Google to introduce an innovative element that may be what sends this campaign over the top.
The campaign launched with 15-second spots across YouTube and incorporated remarketing to reach previous CanadianTire.ca visitors and users who watched other Canadian Tire video content.
This means targeting users who visited the Canadian Tire site within the last 28 days and augmenting 15-second YouTube ads with innovative new five-second bumper ads appearing before content to deliver humor with very little intrusion. These small, non-skippable brand reminders feature Gary offering bonus gift advice like, "Smaller trees make presents look bigger" and two words that say it all, "gift cards."
The five-second bumpers are a bonus for engaging with our brand early-on and we hope that it's a bit of a surprise and delight in the humour and low-intrusion approach.
"Touché knew the beta for the five-second bumper ads was available at a global level, and that it was a perfect fit for the overall campaign strategy," says Michelle Jones, digital supervisor at Touché. "Canadian Tire is the first client and first major Canadian retailer to leverage this technology."
The campaign will also be present for in-search results, targeting high-trending content during the campaign's run, from November 19 through December 24.
The bumper ads are not only a funny and brief reminder to users that Canadian Tire is there for their holiday shopping, but an ingenious way of putting it in front of users who are already familiar with the campaign, strengthening brand perception and affinity.
"The five-second bumpers are a bonus for engaging with our brand early-on and we hope that it's a bit of a surprise and delight in the humour and low-intrusion approach," says Jonathan Anderson, manager of digital marketing and merchandising at Canadian Tire.
The opportunity? Massive.
With this campaign, Canadian Tire is estimated to generate millions of views.
That's a lot of bonus gift advice.
We'll keep you posted on the performance of this campaign. In the meantime, look for Gary online. Word is he can solve some of your most pressing holiday challenges.

My wife loves it Review by Randy Cooper - Loganville , GA
Posted on 2014-06-21My wife always has a puzzle in progress and she loves this. Not 100% when folded, so we tend to carry and store it flat. But all round a great work surface
Some things to consider Review by Cathy Gladden - Fernandina Beach, FL
Posted on 2014-07-02I did not think of this when I made the purchase. The table is a little tall for use with my regular chair. You cannot get to the sides of the puzzle where the fold outs are for extra pieces. I have resorted to putting the puzzle on cardboard inside the work surface so I can turn the puzzle in progress. I have back problems and I thought this would be a good for working puzzles. It is a nice unit but for me I would have been better off with one of the turntables on a nice card table. Also I find that working the puzzle I lean my hand/wrist against the edge of the table surface. Maybe putting some padding like a mouse pad would help.
Nice Table Review by Joanne - Medford, WI
Posted on 2014-09-12The surface is real nice to work on. I was disappointed to find out when I tried to store my puzzle as I put the table on it's side, my puzzle fell apart inside. Also the pieces on the two storage platforms fell off inside. They did not stay on the platforms when I carried the case by its handle. I thought the puzzle was supposed to stay together when I carried the case by the handle, and the pieces stored on the platforms would stay as I put them.
Puzzle size Review by Betty - Absecon, NJ
Posted on 2014-09-17I love this however, if you have a 30 x 24 puzzle you have to do it sideways.....hard to do.
Clever and Fun Review by J Duke - Austin, TX
Posted on 2014-11-02I worked on this table at my mother-in-laws and am buying one myself. It has a rim that keeps pieces on board while working and is big enough for multiple people to work at once. This is a big plus for my family that likes to visit while they puzzle.It folds easily and was quickly up and down. A fun addition to a family tradition!
Good product. Review by Bob Smith - Snowflake, AZ
Posted on 2014-12-27Good product. Very handy to used.
lovely piece of furniture Review by Colleen - Wellsboro, PA
Posted on 2015-10-11I paid for this because I have 7 cats and had to stop doing puzzles which I love to do because there were always pieces missing. This closes up nicely and keeps things together. I keep it up all the time in my living room since you can't carry it sideways and have things stay together. I tripped against it and the legs broke so now I keep it on a card table with a pretty quilt underneath to hide the table, problem solved and it is steadier now than the spindly legs. I do have to be very careful of the cats not jumping up on one of the arms when they are open, the hinge breaks immediately. It could be a little more solid made for the outrageous price. I bought a similar one that is not as fancy with no legs but it is smaller and does not hold all the pieces on the trays like I like. So it is beautiful, it does the job, but it could be steadier and sturdier.
Very nice, well made Review by don - New Lebanon, OH
Posted on 2015-11-11Very nice table, unfolds easily, good construction, nice hardware. It will work very well and will be easily stored when not in use. The felt on ours had a bubble under it about 2"x 5" where I guess it wasn't glued properly. Customer service immediately ordered a new one to be shipped and put a return label in the mail....quite impressive! I'm confident the the replacement will be checked by the warehouse before it's shipped.

more fake award show fodder. seriously, what do they expect these ads are going to achieve? "yes lets all act faster to, uhh, you know,....save the world and stuff."
whats about this?
one should not take life so seriously - as one will not come out of it alive.
strong conceptually, and beautiful art direction (inspired by gregory crewdson?)
That's fu**ing true, what are we waiting for???
A refreshing idea for a clothing store. Well done. I've never heard of "Clothes Mart" though.
really like it.
laughed my ass off at the guy laughing his ass off at the guy with the shorts :D
Quite really.
idea is worst... no use.. it wont work.. come up with something new please...
i think there is a misunderstanding from the agency about what the WWF is.
The visual isn't about being slow, but rather about being careless

Love it too! This campaign is so different from most other save the planet campaigns. The message is serious, but not the tone or art! You don't always have to scare people into doing something.
HAHA! I love this approach! It took me a while to realize there was a fire back there... I just looked at the firemen and thought "What the heck are they doing?!?!?"

This volume is Book Five of that work and is considered by many scholars to be its heart. Jamgon Kongtrul explains the complete code of personal liberation as it applies to both monastic and lay persons, the precepts for those aspiring to the life of a bodhisattva, and the exceptional pledges for practitioners on the tantric path of pure perception. "This eminently accessible book is recommended to comparative ethicists as well as to a general audience. ~Religious Studies Review ."A clearly structured and lucid exposition of the qualities of spiritual teachers and their students, as well as of the ethical systems of Hinayana, Mahayana, and Vajrayana Buddhism." ~Choice. "These three vows, or systems of ethics, are essentially identical to the three forms of training on the Buddhist path: the development of morality, meditation, and wisdom and embrace all forms of spiritual practice set forth in the Buddhist doctrine." ~from the introduction by His Holiness Sakya Trizin. JAMGON KONGTRUL LODRO TAYE (1813~1899), a pivotal figure in eastern Tibet's nonsectarian movement, was one of the most outstanding writers and teachers of his time. In his monumental Treasury of Knowledge he presents a complete account of the major lines of thought and practice that comprise Tibetan Buddhism. "Jamgiin Kongtrul Lodro Taye was one of the leading scholars of the nineteenth century. He broke through sectarian constraints and achieved a deep understanding of the the different philosophical approaches in Tibet. I have no doubt that by studying Kongtrul's works readers will be inspired to emulate his great qualities of humility, dedication, patience and nonsectarianism." ~ H.H. the Dalai Lama.

MESA, Ariz. â" Marc Krauss is one of the players in Angels camp who has the best opportunity to directly benefit from Josh Hamiltonâs absence.
Krauss, who was claimed on waivers from the Houston Astros over the winter, is a left-handed hitter who plays the corner outfield spots and designated hitter.
Krauss, 27, has hit .200 in 119 major league games, but he hit .278 with a .375 on-base percentage in the minors.
âI think maybe in the past when Iâve reached the major leagues Iâve tried to do too much and get out of my own comfort zone,â Krauss said. âThings donât work well when you do that. Just relax and donât try to do too much. Just rely on what got you there.â
Krauss walked in both of his plate appearances on Saturday, but Efren Navarro, who is one of his prime competitors for a roster spot, had three hits.
If the Angels donât keep Krauss or Navarro, they will likely go with a true outfielder like Daniel Robertston or a third player from the group of four competing for the starting second base job.
Sean Newcomb, the Angels first-round pick last year, has not yet pitched in an exhibition game. Mike Scioscia said the Angels will get Newcomb in some games, but he will spend most of the spring in minor league campâ¦
Former 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh, who is now the coach at Michigan, coached first base for the Aâs for part of the game against the Angels. Harbaugh is a friend of Aâs manager Bob Melvin.


text: The Problem: Sagebrush country in central and eastern Oregon is home to close-knit rural communities, an economy centered on agriculture and natural resources, and a potentially vast source of renewable energy. It also is home to the greater sage-grouse, a species in trouble and also an important indicator of the overall health of sagebrush ecosystems. With the US Fish and Wildlife Service considering whether to list the sage-grouse as threatened or endangered, Oregon needs a clear strategy for balancing economic development and conservation, and for tracking the outcomes of conservation investments. The Solution: Willamette Partnership is supporting the Sage-Grouse Conservation Partnership (SageCon), a state-wide, multi-stakeholder effort to provide a comprehensive strategy for achieving healthy sage-grouse populations, resilient sagebrush ecosystems, and economically and socially vibrant rural communities. The Partnership is working with SageCon partners to build a sage-grouse habitat mitigation program that provides incentives for responsible stewardship and quantifies the effects of development and conservation activities on sage-grouse habitat. The mitigation strategy will provide the science, policy, and tools to give counties clarity on development opportunities, steer conservation to the places where it will do the greatest good, and ensure net benefits for sage-grouse and sagebrush ecosystems. We are also working with colleagues playing similar roles in other states to work toward an integrated approach across the bird's 11-state range. Results: The Draft Sage-Grouse Habitat Mitigation Protocol and the broader state-wide strategy are scheduled for release in September 2014.A place to nest: place-based conservation and the greater sage-grouse

There are many reports available under Operator Data.
We plan to add all permits covering the life of a well to our OCD Online Electronic Permitting system.
How do I get started with electronic permitting? (Return to Questions)
You will need a user id. Each organization has an Operator Administrator and any number of Operator Users. If your organization has an Operator Administrator, that person can create a user id for you. If you do not have an Operator Administrator, please click here and follow the instructions.
In the Operator Change function, why won't my screen change when I click on the buttons? (Return to Questions)
We don't know what causes this problem, but one user reported that when she temporarily disabled Norton Internet Security Firewall, all of the navigation worked. There may be a setting in this software that will allow the navigation to work without disabling the whole product.
Each operator that fracks a well is required to submit to the OCD a "Hydraulic Fracturing Fluid Disclosure Form." These forms may be viewed from the "Action Status" reports link on our e-permitting page. For information prior to 2012, refer to C-103 forms located in the well files of the Imaging system. For details, please note that all Hydraulic Fracturing Fluid Disclosure Forms and C-103 forms are stored in the well files. (Return to Questions)

Yes, in order to meet a filing deadline, but we need the original, also.
What is a pre-hearing statement? (Return to Questions)
A brief statement of what is being sought in the application, how many witnesses will be testifying and how many exhibits presented, and the approximate length of time the presentation of your case will take.
What do the Administrative and Environmental Order Type acronyms mean? (Return to Questions)
What do the Hearing and Case File Type acronyms mean? (Return to Questions)
Why does QuickTime try to load when I try to view an image? (Return to Questions)
Thanks to the State of Maryland, Maryland Archives website for this information. Answer
Why do I get a blank page when my computer opens an image? (Return to Questions)
It's possible that your PC is trying to use a viewer that cannot display a .tif file. Microsoft Document viewer usually displays the image as a blank document. QuickTime usually cannot display the file at all.
Please install a .tif viewing program or change your file asociation to a different program that can display .tif files properly.
What do I do when I get "Page Not Found" or "Web Site is Unavailable" on the OCD site? (Return to Questions)
This problem usually occurs after maintenance has been applied to a PC, especially when virus scanners are installed. The problem is with the security set up of your PC. You might try to make sure you have the latest security patches applied to your PC. You might also try to temporarily disable your virus scanner to see if you are then able to access the OCD web site.
I receive an error when I click "View All". (Return to Questions)
This happens with certain well files, but we don't have a pattern for the problem yet. Our programmers are working to fix this.
I only see one page of a document. (Return to Questions)
Try using a different .tif viewer. For example, "BlueView" by Schlumberger works well for well logs, but only shows page one of a multi-page .tif file. A different viewer should show you all the pages of a document.
When I view a Well Log, I only get a line down the page. (Return to Questions)
Your .tif viewer is printing the entire log on one sheet of paper and it is too small to read. Try a different .tif viewer that allows you to select a section of the log to view. "BlueView" by Schlumberger allows this. Or you may select a portion of the log you are interested in and "Cut and Paste" into a different application that you can print from.
When I'm viewing an image, I don't have the options at the top to File, Print, etc. (Return to Questions)
Users who have reported this problem were using QuickTime.
What's the easiest way to see images of my approved permits? (Return to Questions)
Since OCD no longer returns approved permits to the operators, here are some tips to find whether your APD, Sundry, etc. was approved and how to get a copy of it:
1. When a permit is approved through OCD Online (electronic permitting), you will receive an e-mail notice of the approval. Clicking on the link in this notice takes you directly to the approved permit and all attachments, comments, and conditions of approval. Unfortunately, we don't have all permits in OCD Online yet, but we're rushing.
2. The imaging system has an option under Well Files to view all documents for a particular operator scanned since a certain date. Change the Operator Name box to "Contains" and type in a portion of your operator name, such as "Conoco". Then enter a date in the next box, and then click Continue. You will see all well files that have had documents added for that operator since the date you entered. The approved permit will be the first or last thumbnail, depending on whether you sort in Ascending or Descending order.
3. The Weekly ID Reports under Statistics show all newly approved APDs, pluggings, re-entries, deepenings, and completions. This gives you a weekly summary of what was approved, however it does not include most Sundry activities.
4. The Well List under OCD Online, E-permitting, will display your newly approved APDs the day after they are approved.
Thank you for your cooperation in this effort to save administrative time we need to use for scanning.
What's my POD? (Return to Questions)
We are still assigning PODs and they must be reported on the C-115. When your C-104 for authorization to transport is approved, a POD for that completion is assigned that evening and posted on the Well List. To get to the Well List, go to OCD Online, Electronic Permitting, Operator Data, and Well List. You do not need to log on. Fill out the operator name, then you can use Edit to find the particular well name or API number, or scroll through the list. The PODs are on the far right.
If you see a well completion with no PODs, the C-104 has not yet been approved. If you believe there is a more appropriate POD for this well completion than the one displayed, you may use that. You do not need to notify OCD of that.
User Manual for C-115 Web (Return to Questions)
How do I become an operator in the state of New Mexico? (Return to Questions)
How do I become a transporter in the state of New Mexico? (Return to Question)
E-mail to email@example.com or FAX (505-476-3262) a letter on your organization's letterhead a request to become a transporter including your address, phone number, fax number, and contact person. You will be assigned a transporter OGRID number.

This should be an easy one.
Second-string San Francisco 49ers quarterback anti-American Colin Kaepernick, is the clear "winner" in the sweepstakes to be the most disliked player in the National Football League (NFL), according to a recent poll by E-Poll Marketing Research.
The communist-loving Kaepernick easily took the top honors in the poll with 29 percent of respondents saying they "disliked a lot" the American-flag disrespecting backup, easily besting Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Jameis Winston, who came in at a distant second-place at 22 percent, closely followed by Ndamukong Suh at 21 percent.
ESPN noted that the last time the poll was taken, in 2014, only 6 percent answered that they "disliked a lot" Kaepernick.

A Cleveland law firm is pursuing a class-action lawsuit on behalf of patients of a storefront dental-care chain that abruptly closed nationwide in December. Spangenberg, Shibley & Liber LLP filed the suit in Ohio recently and in Allcare Dental & Dentures' home state of New York, said Nicholas DiCello, an attorney with the firm.
In late December, Allcare closed about 40 locations, including Toledo. In some cases, patients were left with unfinished procedures for which they had paid thousands of dollars. The Ohio Attorney General's Office referred Allcare customers to a Web site Allcare set up after the closures, www.allcareinfo.com.

More information
The art of embroidery uncannily links two fascinating women of different eras and their equally passionate love storiesIn an expensive London restaurant, Julia Lovat receives a gift that will change her life. At first glance it is a book of exquisite seventeenth-century embroidery patterns belonging to a woman named Catherine Ann Tregenna. Yet in its margins are the faintest diary entries; they reveal that "Cat" and others were stolen from their Cornish church in 1625 by Muslim pirates and taken on a brutal voyage to Morocco to be auctioned off as slaves. Captivated by this dramatic discovery, Julia sets off to North Africa to determine the authenticity of the book and to uncover more of Cat's mesmerizing story. There, in the company of a charismatic Moroccan guide, amid the sultry heat, the spice markets, and exotic ruins, Julia will discover buried secrets. And in Morocco-just as Cat did before her-she will lose her heart.
Set almost 400 years apart, the stories of these two women converge in an extraordinary and haunting manner that will make readers wonder-is history fated to repeat itself?
A literary mystery, historical adventure, and dual love story, The Tenth Gift literally crosses genres with narrative ease and prose that is as captivating as the characters who people this unforgettable tale.
From the Hardcover edition.

EMT Paramedic
Technical DiplomaWhen you hear sirens wailing and see an ambulance drive by, there's a good chance someone's life is on the line. Paramedic teams are the heroes who are first on the scene and most qualified to make a life-or-death difference for the critically ill or injured.
A Closer Look
Paramedics provide preliminary treatment and transport of patients to a medical facility for further treatment if necessary. They perform cardiac support and emergency respiratory procedures, administer IV fluids, bandage wounds, stabilize injuries, and more. They must communicate well with others at the scene of an emergency and in a healthcare facility while transferring patient care.
Paramedics frequently work in pairs and are often in a lead role on a team of emergency medical technicians. Their success relies on precise teamwork.
What You'll Learn
Mid-State's EMT-Paramedic program provides the knowledge and skills needed to work competently as an entry-level paramedic. Students enter a joint core course cohort with Paramedic Technician degree students. Graduates earn a technical diploma upon successful completion of this program.
This program consists of classroom lectures, practical skills lab, laboratory simulations, and hospital and pre-hospital clinical experiences. Upon successful completion, you will earn certifications in Advanced Cardiac Life Support, Prehospital Trauma Life Support, and Pediatric Advanced Life Support and be eligible to take the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technician written and practical examinations.
- Emergency Department Technician
- EMS Provider
- Firefighter/Paramedic
- First Responder
- Urgent Care Technician
Your Instructors
The instructors in the EMT-Paramedic program bring the right balance of professional experience and teaching expertise to the classroom.
All lead paramedic instructors are actively employed as ground and flight paramedics, as well as critical care paramedics, in a variety of pre-hospital settings. Their exposure to patients on a daily basis allows each of them to bring current knowledge and skills to their classrooms, and they share that knowledge through expert instruction and hands-on learning. This unmatched technical and professional expertise, when paired with small class sizes, means you'll leave Mid-State confident in the fact that you have the knowledge and skills employers are looking for in the people they hire.
"The paramedic faculty at Mid-State work in a variety of different service types and bring decades worth of work experience into the classroom. They use their knowledge, passion, and experience to guide students along a successful educational path." – Rick Anderson, Associate Dean

This is going to pain Troy Tulowitzki more than a trip to the disabled list, but the best shortstop in the game needs to consider a new job.
Tulowitzki is a third baseman waiting to happen. Not this season. But soon. Sooner than he or the Rockies dare think.
Alex Rodriguez, one of the top five home-run hitters in major-league baseball history, switched from shortstop to third base at age 28. Tulowitzki will celebrate his 28th birthday in October.
MLB Headlines
Rockies should move Troy Tulowitzki to third base sooner rather than later

7. Who or what was Python, and what was its fate?
8. What was the origin of the laurel tree?
9. Daphne, Io, and Syrinx have a common thread in their tales. What is it?
10. What was the taunt of Epaphus aimed at Phaethon? What was its result?
1. He simply expressed his intention to tell the stories with the possible help of the gods.
2. The change was the work of Nature or God.
3. Earth was a globe, not a flat disk as later "experts" claimed.
4. The Four Ages were: the Age of Gold, perfection; the Age of Silver, still very good, but with the coming of the seasons bringing extremes of heat and cold; the Age of Bronze, in which weapons were introduced; and finally, the Age of Iron, during which every evil was loosed upon the world. (Ovid adapted this theory from the Greek poet Hesiod.)
5. Jove saw the wickedness of mankind and persuaded the other gods to punish it.
6. Lyacon planned to murder Jove in his sleep (an extreme example of lack of hospitality); he also tried to feed him human flesh (cannibalism). He was also guilty of hubris, testing Jove's omniscience and power.
7. Python was a monstrous serpent, a by-product of the second creation. Apollo killed the serpent with his arrows.
8. As Daphne was fleeing Apollo, Diana changed her into a laurel tree. Apollo then made the laurel the badge of victory in the Pythian Games, an antecedent of the Olympic Games.
9. All three maidens were pursued by gods who wanted to rape them.
10. Epaphus challenged Phaethon to prove that his mother was not a liar and that he was truly the son of the Sun-god.

7. What is the significance of the fact that Callisto and Arcas must be "kept out of the water?"
8. How is Apollo's grief over Coronis different from human grief?
9. What is the irony of the fate of the goddess Envy?
10. What were the transgressions of Aglauros?
1. Vulcan decorated it with images of the sea and creatures inhabiting the sea.
2. The god was attended by Days, Months, Years, Centuries, Hours, and Seasons.
3. The son was guilty of hubris, arrogant pride, imagining himself in the same class as his divine father; the father agreed out of overly permissive love.
4. The city of Rome, where Ovid and the emperor live, is on the Tiber.
5. Jove hurled his thunderbolt.
6. The god came to Arcady to assess the damage done by Phaethon's disastrous fall and the fire which resulted.
7. The constellations of the Big Bear and Little Bear never set in the sea.
8. Gods cannot weep.
9. Envy's successes are self-defeating; in hurting a mortal, she pleases a goddess.

Book III: Questions and Answers
Study Questions
1. Which god is Cadmus attempting to honor when he sends his men into the forest?

10. What was the result of Pentheus' death in the City of Thebes?
1. He wishes to honor Jove.
2. He offends Mars, to whom the serpent (some call it a dragon) is sacred.
3. It is said to have been as huge "as the great serpent of the constellations," with the whole world beneath him.
4. He is told that he, too, will some day be a serpent.
5. The city of Cadmus and his descendants was Thebes.
6. It is difficult to believe that dogs would not recognize their master, no matter what; Ovid and his readers would have known that. This is an example which shows that these myths were intended to be symbolic and poetic, not realistic or factual.
7. While Semele was his lover, he tried to please her by promising to fulfill her wish, and even swore on the River Styx that he would do so. After her death, he went on relaxing and joking with his wife, Juno.
8. Tiresias' riddling answer means that Narcissus will have a long life only if he never knows himself: he must not see his image either physically or emotionally—not know how beautiful and desirable he is.
9. A person is characterized as "narcissistic" when he or she becomes overly proud of some personal trait such as beauty, attractiveness, and, by extension, accomplishments, intelligence, etc., and treats others with disdain.

3. Women spun thread, wove cloth, and sewed garments and other necessities for themselves and others.

5. In Romeo and Juliet, a young couple is kept apart by unreasonable parents; accidents and misunderstandings cause them to kill themselves, but their parents later regret their harsh treatment of them.
6. Shakespeare makes the tragic tale comical through the use of bungling actors and bizarre adaptations of the story line.
7. Instead of being punished with death, Venus shrugs off the incident, and the gods have a good laugh at the expense of the lovers, as well as of the cuckolded husband.
