All groups are free and confidential.
For many emotional and relationship issues that college students face, group counseling is the best treatment choice. It provides students with the unique opportunity of utilizing peer interaction to work toward improving themselves. Although many students are initially hesitant to join a group, participants consistently find group counseling to be a very beneficial and positive experience. Types of groups offered include stress and time management, relationships, homesickness, shyness, depression, anxiety, and grief.
New groups form each quarter and are typically limited to 10 members. If you are interested in joining a group, please contact the SCC to schedule an initial consultation with a counselor at 812-877-8537 to discuss your needs. Groups meet on a weekly basis and run for the length of the quarter, with some groups continuing beyond the quarter.
If you have any questions about our groups, please contact the SCC at 812-877-8537.

Spanker for hire
When the wife is away the husband will play or something like that. Paul thought I had gone away for a day or two and phoned an agency who sent him round a young girl to spank him, you can see this film on Sarah Spanks Men by the way. But back to todays film, I returned to find him over this naked girls knee getting a really weak spanking from this silly young thing. I quickly changed things around and threw her over my knee where I gave her a hell of a spanking and then I took my slipper to her pretty young arse. Now I can be quite nasty when I am upset and that was just how I felt so I took a leather paddle from t he bag this girl had brought with her and used that on her as well. I gave her a nasty dose of what she was supposed to be dishing out.
This is a great film and features the lovely Rachel Leigh and Paul. Rachel is a lovely girl, not really into the spanking scene but she can take a very good whacking, not that she had any choice in this film as I had her securely trapped between my long legs. Have a look at the film Spanking Sarah, which you can join for as little as £11 per month. I also have all my films for sale individually on my Clips site this is to Clips for sale
I now have another site featuring all the hand made films we are making. These are really different and exciting with loads of real close up action. This site is called Handy Spank Cam and you can take a look at it here Handy Spank Cam

by Erin Pollina / Buffalo SabresCraig Rivet (Photo: Getty Images) |
After defeating the Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins this weekend, the Sabres received more good news today, learning they will also have their captain back.
Tim Connolly Interview Matt Ellis Interview Jason Pominville Interview Craig Rivet Interview Derek Roy Interview Lindy Ruff Interview |
Craig Rivet is expected to play in Tuesday's match-up against the Ottawa Senators after missing the last 11 contests. The game would be his first since Dec. 10.
"As long as everything went well at practice, he'll be back in," Head Coach Lindy Ruff said.
Rivet has been skating with the team for the last three weeks nursing a shoulder injury. The blueliner was sidelined for two games in the first week of December with the same complications, and after the pain flared up again Dec. 12 the team opted to evaluate their captain in two-week blocks.
"It felt good," Rivet said of his shoulder following practice Monday. "The last week or so I really tried to push hard on it and see kind of where it's at. It has responded real well. Obviously practice is not game-situation, that's something that I will be finding out very soon."
Rivet may be what the Sabres need to overcome one of their biggest concerns this season – playing at home. When he is in the lineup, the Sabres are 7-3-1 at HSBC Arena. Without Rivet, they hold a 3-6-1 record.
Against the Senators, the Sabres have not faired any better. Last season Ottawa won three of four match-ups in Buffalo, scoring at least five goals in each victory. The teams have met only once this season – a 5-2 loss for Buffalo on Oct. 27 at home.
"I think you've seen what [Paul] Gaustad has done for our lineup. I think Craig on the backend gives us a little more stiffness, a little more dirt in the lineup," Ruff said. "We've our captain back, we've got grit back."
"With our last two games now I'm wondering how I'm going to get back in the lineup," Rivet said. "The guys have put the work in… they did a lot of great things in our last couple games that we are going to want to build off of.
"It comes down to work. That is something that we are going to have to put in tomorrow night [against Ottawa]… [The Senators] are going through a tough time right now, but sometimes those are the hardest teams to play against… if we play our game and not worry about them, we will be okay."
Rivet may be returning, but the Sabres will have to do without Maxim Afinogenov for now.
Afinogenov missed the majority of Saturday's 4-2 win in Boston after suffering a groin injury in the first period. The winger took a hard hit from Zdeno Chara and did not return to the ice.
"Max is going to have further tests today, evaluate where [he is]," Ruff said. "I don't think it's short term. It could be a little while."
Afinogenov missed 25 games last season due to a groin injury. He has 12 points (2+10) in 34 games this year.

"But we have options," Ruff said.
One of them may be centerman Tim Connolly who is nearing a return.
Connolly suffered a broken rib Nov. 12 against the St. Louis Blues after taking a hard hit from winger Keith Tkachuk. He played the following game against Columbus on Nov. 14, but has since missed the last 23 games.
"Our plan right now [is] that he will play by the weekend," Ruff said. "We know that if we can get him healthy and get him back and get him playing, we know what he can mean to us… I would love to get him in and playing well because before he went out he was playing well and a guy that we used in every situation."
In six games this season Connolly has recorded seven points (2+5). The centerman missed the first 10 games of the year due to a pair of fractured vertebrae in his back.
"It's not something you can dwell on," Connolly said of the injuries. "We still have a lot of season left ahead of us. We are in a fight for a playoff spot right now and that's our main focus.
"But I feel pretty good."
Teppo Numminen's status is uncertain for Tuesday's game against the Senators. The defenseman was absent from practice due to illness and will be revaluated tomorrow.

Today's Biz Ladies post comes to us from previous contributor and social media maven, Katrina Padron. As the founder of Padron Social Marketing, an award-winning social media agency with a simple truth 'You don't need fans; you need sales', Katrina offers weekly social media strategies and insights through her website. Today she shares some tips and best practices for using Pinterest to grow your business without being pushy and self promotional. Thanks, Katrina, for this helpful advice! —Stephanie
Read the full post after the jump…
Pinterest rule number 3 says "No Self Promotion." But before we even get to that point I know you're thinking, "I'm on Facebook, Twitter and Google+. Social media already overwhelms me…do I need to be on Pinterest too?" Yes, here's why.
Pinterest is a virtual pinboard. Pinterest allows you to organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web. You can browse pinboards created by other people to discover new things and get inspiration from people who share your interests.
Pinterest has gained enormous traction. It's quickly becoming a favorite tool, especially among the design and retail communities because:
- As of February, Pinterest has 25 million users. (Business Insider)
- 70 percent of brand engagement on Pinterest is generated by users, not brands. (Digitas)
- Pinterest shoppers are spending significantly more per checkout averaging between $140-$180 per order compared with consistent $80 and $60 orders for Facebook and Twitter shoppers, respectively. (Rich Relevance)
With that said, we've found ways to use Pinterest to grow your business and build your brand all while adhering to Pinterest's etiquette.
Quite simply, if you are doing work you would love to share, pin it; if your work is inspired by someone or something, pin it; if there is something you personally like, pin it. But let me break this down a little more to make sure you are fully leveraging Pinterest.
How to humanize your brand and why it's so important
People like to do business with other people they know, like and trust. Creating boards that show who you are is compelling. It offers a personal side to your business. If you are already using personal branding for your business, use Pinterest to take it to the next level. Use boards to showcase your lifestyle – maybe a "Your Style," "Offices I'd Love to Have," "Best Books List" or "Dream Vacations." These boards help show who you are and give your followers a chance to connect on a personal level with you.
The tip to network with out being pushy and self promotional
Just like any social network, Pinterest is meant to be social. Social media gives you a unique opportunity to get in front of people you might not reach otherwise. You can connect, comment, like and re-pin just as you do on Facebook and Twitter. As you start doing this, you are putting yourself and your business in front of more people. The best way to comment is to be genuine and never self promote in someone else's thread.
What it means to curate content and how to create boards for your target
Curating content means creating boards around a particular idea, category or theme.
This becomes even more of an opportunity when you are 100% clear on your target customer. If you know who your target customer is and what they find entertaining, educational and empowering start creating boards that sit in the sweet spot of what they want and what you are an expert on. This helps position you as an expert on that content.
Exactly how to optimize your post for more web traffic
Recently, one study showed that Pinterest drives more visitors to third-party websites than Google+, YouTube and LinkedIn combined and in many cases Pinterest is driving more web traffic than Twitter. Each pin is attached to a permalink that takes people directly to the website where it is from. When you post, be sure the link takes them back to your website where there are opt-in forms or take them to a page where they could purchase, see more items, pin more items or opt in to hear more from you.
Pinterest also wants you include a thoughtful description on your pins. You can include the name of the product, what it was inspired by, price and the link to find it on your website. For even more exposure, include relevant hashtags and keywords so that your pins show up in searches.
The secrets to frictionless sharing on Facebook and Twitter
Pinterest is set for frictionless sharing with Facebook and sharing on Twitter is beyond easy. You likely already have a following on Facebook and Twitter. By sharing your pins directly to those sites you are leveraging your resources and expanding your reach to communities you've already built.
To share directly to Facebook sign into Pinterest, click your username at the top-right toolbar, then click Settings. Next, you can add/remove Pinterest to your Facebook Timeline by clicking the slider. ON will add your pins to your Facebook Timeline. OFF will remove Pinterest from your Facebook Timeline.
When you are pinning something you will be able to select which board it is pinned to and then in the lower right corner check the Twitter box. That will share the pin directly to your Twitter account.
There's even more great ways to grow your business with Pinterest in part 2 that I'll share next week. But first, I'd like to know which strategy you are most likely to do first. Or, if you are already using Pinterest for business, what is working for you?
For me, the biggest benefit for Pinterest has been the ability to demonstrate my specific style. I try and make sure that all of my pins have the "look" I try and share on my site, so if someone likes my pinboards, hopefully they'll like my site as well.
Lots of helpful info! Thanks
Thanks for this, been trying to find legit websites which can help me build my media on, this is a great help and I will take a look now!
Pinterest is one of my very favorite social media sights as i am such a visual person. i look forward to reading part II!
Great article, thanks. I always enjoy reading the posts on Biz Ladies. As a creative, I love using Pinterest but haven't really used it as a networking tool – yet. When I do, I will take heed of all the great points raised in your article. Looking forward to reading Part II.
Great post! I love Pinterest and connecting with other people and brands. I always make sure that what I pin is a genuine display of my taste and I definitely think that lets people see, at least visually, what I'm all about. Can't wait to read part 2!
I also haven't really used Pinterest as a networking or business tool, however this article provided some great tips I will start using such as humanizing a brand.
@Carrie – Very good. Glad to hear you are using it that way!
@FripperyVintage – You're welcome!
@Xia – You're most welcome. Best wishes.
@Kathryn – Glad to hear–coming soon!
@DaisyLoveDesign – Good luck to you!
@Shelby – That's a great point!
Yes! Looking forward to part 2! :)
Pinterest is my fav social media channel so far, as it is very visual, I use it to create my mood boards, but I have to admit that is one of the biggest traffics to my site/shop. My images get pinned quite often, and the effect is viral. facebook is good too, but I am not sure how much traffic actually converts into sells. Thanks for the article, it is always good to learn new tips. Regards from cold London. Marga
Great article, very useful info. Thx!
Terrific article. I love Pinterest and my personal profile has loads of followers and repins but my business one is scrappy and incoherent and has hardly any followers or repins, and after reading this article I have a much better idea about why. I generally think the advice to "be yourself" is not very good, but in this case I think it's going to improve my business Pinterest profile hugely. And yes, I too am eagerly looking forward to Part II!
tall Pinterest posts are always more eye-catching, and the format of a board make them stand apart from your other, "normal" sized pins. Pin Tall. ;)
Very helpful article – can't wait for part 2! Thank you very much.
Thanks for this article! I have been looking to get more traffic to my blog via Pinterest, so every now and then I'll pin a relevant project that has to do with home decor, DIY, before and after, or even recipes. That seems to be boosting my blog traffic.
We love using Pinterest to promo our classes and the projects we are planning to teach. Its also been invaluable for a secret research project we are releasing in Sept x
I love Pinterest because it is so visual, I have always felt it was like looking at magazines, all specific to your interests. I have had a personal account for a few years and just converted it to a Business one.
I do not know if it will make a difference or not, I do get traffic from Pins to my online store. I am hoping the switch will increase this as well, but I also wonder if it will affect my followers I already have?
I have always kept true to what I truly love and what Inspires me, I have never pinned just to promote my self or others, I will and do promote others but I have to also like or love the product, everything I pin is a reflection on my taste.
Looking forward to part 2 – I am using Pinterest for business but then found someone posting my product and using our email address as theirs, can you let me know about the dangers of identity theft on Pinterest
Thanks for the article, can't wait for part 2. I love pinterest and use it often. I'll go start following your advice right now.
I have just started using Pinterest to showcase our Emotional Tracing™ posters and videos. Even though our business is a service, rather than a product, your article gave me the idea to create pin-able pictures that imagine what the results of our service will give you. (a smile, or a happy family, or rehab from addiction, etc.)
Thanks so much for your help in "getting a handle" on how Pinterest fits in with all the other social media. To a "newbie" it can seem overwhelming.
This article is beyond useful! Thank you! holisticfashionista.com
Thank you so much for this. I need to revamp my Pinterest to align better with my goals. Right now its just a mish mosh of stuff

In Roman times there was a chain of forts called the Saxon Shore providing a similar defensive role. The present Cinque Ports might have been working together as a league in Anglo-Saxon times; their early history is unclear. Tributary to the five main ports are a number of others, which have varied through history, called their Limbs. These provided service in the way of ships, timber, or money.
Cinque means five, and is pronounced "sink", not as in the French cinq. Originally there were five main ports, head ports as they are called: starting from the east of Kent and proceeding south-westward they were Sandwich, Dover, Hythe, Romney, and Hastings. The last is over the border in Sussex. The two Sussex ports of Rye and Winchelsea were originally Limbs of Hastings, but were early on elevated to head port status under the name of the Antient Towns (sic).
So there are seven Cinque Ports, plus all their dependents. Today, seven limbs are corporate members, that is they have a charter and a mayor of their own. These are Deal and Ramsgate limbs of Sandwich; Folkestone, Faversham, and Margate limbs of Dover; Tenterden a limb of Rye; and Lydd a limb of Romney. But Winchelsea is now so small that it has lost its corporation and is governed as a charity, so it can retain its privileges as a head port. Sandwich still receives ceremonial annual payments of minuscule amounts of Ship Money from its limbs.
The Cinque Ports were granted extensive powers of self-government, administration of justice, and freedom from tax and toll by a charter in the 1200s. The King appointed a representative called the Lord Warden, and combined this post with the military post of Constable of Dover Castle and the naval post of Admiral of the Cinque Ports. The English Channel is one of the busiest shipping lanes anywhere, and much of it and the North Sea are technically under the jurisdiction of the Cinque Ports Court of Admiralty, though this no longer meets. The Lord Warden's office is at Walmer Castle near Deal.
The ports each functioned as a borough in Parliament, each returning two burgesses, in this case called barons. The Barons of the Cinque Ports have the right to hold a canopy over the Sovereign at the Coronation, though the last time this happened was that of George IV in 1821. Today only Hastings is a borough in the ordinary self-government sense (see English counties and county borough).
The Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports has traditionally been some very senior government official, often after their retirement from public office, and appointed for life. They have included William Pitt the Younger, the Duke of Wellington, W.H. Smith (the creator of the bookshop chain became a cabinet minister), Sir Winston Churchill, Sir Robert Menzies, and the late Queen Mother, from 1979. In July 2004 Admiral Lord Boyce, the former First Sea Lord and Chief of Defence Staff, was appointed Lord Warden, Constable, and Admiral.
The 1260 charter to the Confederation consolidated individual ones. They already had a common court, called the Court of Shepway, dating from before 1150. The Lord Warden presided over this assembly of the free Portsmen. Since the sixteenth century the Shepway, named after its meeting-place of Shepway Cross at Lympne, near Hythe, has been largely ceremonial. Their role is to install new Lord Wardens with full pomp and pageantry.
It was eclipsed by the Court of Brodhull, from its meeting-place near Romney, which from 1572 was known as the Court of Brotherhood. It had representatives from the five head ports and two antient towns. The three Sussex towns of Hastings, Rye, and Winchelsea had their own court, that of Guestling.
From the early 1600s the Courts of Brotherhood and Guestling met combined, and still have a ceremonial existence today, with the mayors of all fourteen corporate members taking part. One of their number is Speaker in rotation for a year, starting on May 21. They all dress in scarlet except the mayors of Sandwich and Deal, who dress in black to commemorate Mayor John Drury of Sandwich, killed by French raiders in 1457.
Demeter reminds me of another odd ceremony: in Rye, on Bonfire Night, instead of the usual effigy of Guy Fawkes, they burn one of a ship, to commemorate the French raiding.
Many thanks to the official website of the Confederation at www.cinqueports.org, and a hundred thousand curses on the Sandwich tourism authority website I first used for all its misinformation. Part of the JudyT Golden Jubilee celebration of Britain.
Cinque" Ports` (?). [Cinque + port.] Eng. Hist.

Modern smartphones can make life easier for travelers in a number of ways. Handsets such as the Apple iPhone 5 have a range of built-in apps, plus thousands more available to download allowing users to do everything from booking a hotel to checking flight times.
However, despite the fact that applications such as mapping become increasingly useful when in an unfamiliar country, using them could incur some unexpected data charges. No one wants to come home from a relaxing vacation to be hit with a hefty bill, so why not take some simple steps to keep charges to a minimum?
Some providers offer users the chance to purchase a bundle before they go abroad. For example, if you've one of the sim only deals from EE it's possible to purchase an add-on that means you can continue to use your device as you would at home. Prices vary depending on the part of the world you're in and whether or not you have roaming included as part of your plan but could be a good way to ensure your usage doesn't creep beyond what you want to spend. If you're a regular traveler then it might also be worth finding out if a deal can be struck as part of your monthly tariff.
Of course, many people will find they can quite comfortably do without their mobile at certain times during their break, so you might find it's worth turning it off or disabling data roaming in settings.
If you own an iPhone 5 then you'll find this is automatically off so that data sapping apps such as email and maps will not continue to function as they normally would, unless you decide to activate them.
As savvy individuals will already be aware, one way that costs can be cut is by making use of Wi-Fi whenever possible. Many hotels, cafes and bars are happy to provide this to customers, so it's always worth asking before you go online.
And if you're struggling to find a suitable location or want to plan ahead before your arrival then it might be worth downloading an app such as Free Wi-Fi Finder. This allows users to look up hotspots in a particular geographical area or use their location settings to find places offering access nearby. It's said to cover more than 145,000 access points worldwide so there's every chance it might be able to provide you with the results you desire.

Spanish Football Legends : Ladislao Kubala – More than a Player
Visit the marvelous Camp Nou in Barcelona and you will notice a single statue of one player, that of Hungarian striker Ladislao Kubala.
- Writer – David Fleming
When the scandal that rocked post civil war Spain subsided and it was eventually agreed or decided, a fact which Los Merengues and Los Cules still debate fiercely to this day, fans of the Catalan club were left to spend the next 50 years asking themselves one of life's most painful questions – What if?
The player in question is of course the legendary Alfredo Di Stefano, who would go on to lead a golden age of success for the Whites of Madrid including the five European Cups in a row that would define that footballing era. But the Blaugrana were not just left asking if the projection of the great rivals' respective clubs would have been reversed if the Di Stefano affair had turned out differently, but if they had just missed out on one of the most electrifying partnerships in footballing history.
The other half of that partnership is a name not known to many outside the Spanish footballing fraternity, but is the player Barcelona fans hold closest to their hearts – Ladislao Kubala.
Born into poverty in 1927 Hungary, Kubala found joy playing football and was to display his talent and physical prowess from an early age, going on to play professionally for two Hungarian clubs, Ferencvaros Bratislava and Vasas of Budapest before the age of 21.
In 1949 Kubala's life was to change as Hungary became a communist state and Kubala fled the country. It wasn't the last time that the politics of the time were to have a significant impact on Kubala's life.
After initially settling in Austria, Kubala soon moved on to Italy but the one-year international ban imposed by the Hungarian FA and endorsed by FIFA due to his defection to the West meant that he could not play professionally. Little did he know it at the time, but if were not for this ban the turn of events that eventually resulted in Kubala signing for Barcelona would probably never had happened.
In Italy, Kubala formed his own club called Hungaria, consistently mainly of other East European refugees, and in 1950 the fledging side toured Spain to play games against a national eleven, as well as selected Madrid and Espanyol sides. This was a tour that was to change Kubala's life, and the fortunes of Barcelona, forever.
It was during these games that, another legend of La Liga, Josep Samiter spotted Kubala. Samiter at the time was employed by Barcelona as chief scout during one of his more harmonious spells at the club, and despite Kubal's international ban Samiter insisted that the Hungarian should travel north with him to sign for the Catalans.
Kubala had also attracted the attention of then Real Madrid President Santiago Bernabeu who tried hard to convince Kubala to sign for the capital city side. Legend has it that Kubala actually believed he was on a train to sign a contract he had agreed previously with Real Madrid, but it was only due to the fact that the Hungarian was so drunk that Samiter convinced him to sign for Barcelona instead.
The Bernabeu would not be denied so easily when it came to Di Stefano.
Kubala would go on to play the type of football that would install a new-found confidence in the Barcelona fans still suffering after the conclusion of the Spanish Civil war. He became renowned for his speed, agility and a powerful right foot shot.
"He was just unstoppable, he had so many moves opponents didn't have a clue what to expect" reflected former Los Cules teammate Joan Sergarra on the official FIFA website.
"He'd go past one, two, three with style and ease, and then either put a chance on a plate or smash the ball home himself."
In his first season he led the club to victory in the Generalisimo's Cup. The season after was even more successful – with Kubala scoring 26 goals in 19 games, a record comparable with the phenomenal feats of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lio Messi in today's game, and Barcelona won all 5 competitions it entered.
This including a league and cup double as well as the Latino Cup played between the champions of Spain France Portugal and Italy in a forerunner to what would go on to become the European Cup. Kubala's 7 goals in a 9-0 win over Sporting Gijon that season remains the La Liga record for most goals scored in a single match.
Such was the clamour to see the superstar that it soon became evident that the 60,000 seater Les Corts stadium was no longer big enough to meet the demands of the club and, as a direct result of Kubala's popularity, the building of the Camp Nou was commissioned and opened in 1957.
By this time the Di Stefano inspired Real Madrid were beginning to dominate both the domestic and European scene, however Kubala's bravery in the face of brutal defending and poor refereeing as well as his goalscoring talent would ensure that he would be remembered with the highest affection of the Barcelona fans, who voted him the greatest Barca player of all time during their 1999 centenary year.
Kubala was to underline his legendary status when in 1952-53 season he returned to inspire the side to a domestic treble, this despite missing most of the season with tuberculosis that threatened his career.
On the international scene, Kubala is the only player ever to represent 3 different countries in official matches – playing for Hungary and Czechoslovakia before representing Spain 19 times after he became a naturalised Spanish citizen following the end of his FIFA ban.
Kubala was never to grace the biggest stage of all however after Spain missed out on qualifying for the 1954 World Cup, losing the qualifier to Turkey on a toss of a coin.
Kubala retired in the 1961/62 season having won 5 league titles, five Copa Generalisimos and two Inter-Cities Fairs Cups. He went on to have an unsuccessful stint as coach of his beloved club before being sacked.
Kubala then made a comeback with neighbours Espanyol as player-coach where he was eventually united with Di Stefano who was also enjoying a stint with the club at the twilight of his career. Despite being at the end of their respective careers, the duo still displayed enough moments of magic to leave the Barca faithful thinking, what if?
Many players mean different things to fans of different clubs.
Whilst Kubala never won the European Cup or played in the World Cup, it was his spirit in front of adversity which won his place in Barcelona folklore with the player and club sharing a kinship of history.
Kubala brought back a feeling of pride and defiance to a club which had suffered so much and to understand his significance to Barcelona is to understand the history of the club itself. Kubala reminded the club and the fans what it was to win again and to feel the unique joy that only football can bring.
Los Cules enjoying the scintillating football being displayed by the current side can do much worse than taking a second to stop by his statue outside the Camp Nou and say thanks.

Stacy summary: down in Normandy out of good Internet range, but the talk is entirely of DSK. The IMF are rapists, of course, so it makes sense that they would be headed by one. Jibber jabber.
144 comments on "Dominique Strauss Kahn Jibber jabber"
Well – if Assange is going to be charged and extradited to the U.S. on rape and treason charges it only makes sense that this IMFer be given the same courtesy. Maybe the U.S. politicians and press would suggest shooting him behind the ear, through his face, without trial and dumping his frozen dead ass carcas out in the water too? Maybe send a drone or two into france and shoot up a few towns just for the hell of it. Extrajudicial justice, U.S. style. Now that will THAT would make a real cook Diznee Euro Seal Team Sex ride. I'm sure TSA would love a role in designing the theme ride entry sluices fully equipped with naked body scanners and groping specialists too. (sorry, but the hypocracy is just too much)

And IMO Tim & Ben are desperate and will do anything in order to support the US$ ( versus Euro, GBP. Yen )Greek Bailout Money Is In Jeopardy As The IMF's Departing John Lipsky, Former JPM Chief Economist, Is In Temporary Command
…. It turns out that the meeting that DSK was rushing to (in just a bit of a rush, without his cell phone), was a critical one for the future of Greece. Per the AP: "The arrest of IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn means a key participant will be missing at a European meeting considering whether to give Greece billions more in financial help." ….
.. and this just came in :Emergency IMF Meeting Begins As Strauss-Kahn Retains High Profile Attorney
…. It's unlikely that Mr. Strauss-Kahn can represent the institution during meetings while dealing with arrest and legal issues, at least over the next week, said officials. An IMF spokesman declined comment." We expect lots of headlines over the next several hours as an unstoppable European default meets an unmovable chaos.
It turns out that the meeting that DSK was rushing to (in just a bit of a rush, without his cell phone), was a critical one for the future of Greece.
Per the AP: "The arrest of IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn means a key participant will be missing at a European meeting considering whether to give Greece billions more in financial help."
Does this mean that all Greek bailout talk is put on hold?
As a result the headless (no pun intended) IMF is forced to promote its second in command, John Lipsky, previously chief economist of JP Morgan, to the rank of acting managing director, even as "separately, spokeswoman Caroline Atkinson said the fund remains fully functioning and operational despite the arrest of the fund's chief executive."
What is funny is that it was just yesterday that Lipsky announced he was stepping down in August.
What happens to the world's pseudo-bailout organization come September, when its top two officers are gone, is anyone's guess.
It's an interesting point to consider that DSK was set up in this case. DSK has played a key role in bringing the SDR forward to replace the $US as world reserve currency. Could there be vested interests who wish to see that this doesn't happen, and who could benefit from a sex scandal as we're seeing here?
Eliot Spitzer was also taken down with a sex scandal. As I recall Spitzer managed to tick off some serious money people in New York. Was it payback, perhaps?
And who can forget Illinois Governor Rod Bogdanovich taking on the Bank of America over their decision to shutter local employer Republic Windows and Doors?
Bogdanovich fired his shot over B of A's bow on December 8th. The very next morning the FBI was knocking on his door to place him under arrest.
Also a sex scandal was used to take down and discredit Assange of Wikileaks. The charges led to an arrest with led to a tracking device being placed on him. And now we have a Mexican standoff that neither side can win. Assange keeps his information buried as insurance to keep himself from getting killed. TPTB use the tracking device as a constant reminder to Assange that they can was will find him and kill him if the wrong info gets leaked.
Going further back JFL signed Executive Order 11110 on June 4, 1963 which allowed the US Treausry to create a silver back currency that freed the USA from control of the Federal Reserve's debt system. We know what happened to JFK less than 5 months later….
Going further back still there are many theories that suggest that the common denominator of all assassinated US Presidents has been their vehement opposition to central banking interests.
For the latest ocean saving Climate Babe arrivals, vote here :
did we peg him or did we peg him?
he's in the deck and we got um all!just have to send members of Congress (some of them) the FBI, the NSA and Justice a deck and let them go from there
hey if justice don't get cha the laws of karma will
I have no sympathy for Strauss-khan. Ether guilty or victim of a set up is irrelevant: to be president of the IMF is a death sentence to me…and i am French.
ION – Bt toxin found in human blood is not harmless
GM lobbyists are claiming it doesn't matter if the Bt toxin is turning up in people's blood because the Bt toxin is natural, known to be harmless to humans, and has been safely used for decades in agriculture in the form of natural insecticidal sprays, including in organic farming. In addition, they say, Bt crops have been tested and approved as safe.
But the Bt toxin produced in GM crops is not the same as the natural Bt toxin. The process of genetic engineering changes it (as is admitted even by the pro-GM website GMO Safety). And testing is not actually performed on the Bt toxin extracted from GM plants, which would be the scientific way, as it is claimed that it is too expensive to isolate. Instead, testing is done on Bt toxin isolated from E. coli bacteria (as is the norm for GM risk assessments). The protein would be different from that present in the actual GM crop. http://www.gmwatch.org/latest-listing/1-news-items/13142-bt-toxin-found-in-human-blood-is-not-harmless
Disney trademarks "Seal Team 6"
Ever since the May 1 announcement of the raid, much media attention and Internet traffic has been focused on the Navy SEALs counterterrorism unit, called Team Six. The Hollywood Reporter noted that St. Martin's Press pushed forward the release date of its book, "SEAL Team Six: Memoirs of an Elite Navy SEAL Sniper," owing to mushrooming interest following the OBL raid. The publisher almost quadrupled the original print run to 70,000 copies to meet demand. Scott Miller of Trident Media Group told the Reporter that he's "already gotten calls" from Hollywood about bringing Howard Wasdin's book to the multiplex.Is a movie in works?
Disney is certainly covering all bases: Their trademark applications for "Seal Team 6" are nothing if not comprehensive.In addition to "entertainment and education services," they cover toys, games and playthings (including the legally all-embracing "hand-held units for playing electronic games other than those adapted for use with an external display screen or monitor"); gymnastic and sporting articles; clothing, footwear and headwear; Christmas stockings, Christmas tree ornaments and decorations; and – no doubt ideal for depicting raids in Pakistan – snow globes. And they're not alone: MetroGames of Mountain View, Calif., this week trademarked "Team 6." http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-31749_162-20062914-10391698.html

Karl Denninger: Note: IMF Has Diplomatic Immunity
(e) The International Monetary Fund;
The specialized agencies, their property and assets, wherever located and by whomsoever held, shall enjoy immunity from every form of legal process except in so far as in any particular case they have expressly waived their immunity. It is, however, understood that no waiver of immunity shall extend to any measure of execution.….
Representatives of members at meetings convened by a specialized agency shall, while exercising their functions and during their journeys to and from the place of meeting, enjoy the following privileges and immunities:(a) Immunity from personal arrest or detention and from seizure of their personal baggage, and in respect of words spoken or written and all acts done by them in their official capacity, immunity from legal process of every kind;
@Denninger … the IMF does NOT have Diplomatic Immunity
From Bob Chapman
Wherever you live in the world, write at least one letter to those organisations in the USA he mentions, saying that you are well aware of the fraudulent manipulation of the silver market, and that you are aware that millions of others on the internet know, and that this number is growing.
I myself have written to the head of the CFTC.
We can all whine and winge on here, but let the politicians know that YOU and others know…………..Z
Well it says here like Karl pointed out: http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/sd/index.asp?decision=DN22
Selected Decisions and Selected Documents of the IMF, Thirty- Fifth Issue — B. United Nations Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the Specialized Agencies and Annex V
Prepared by the Legal Department of the IMF As updated as of December 31, 2010
The specialized agencies, their property and assets, wherever located and by whomsoever held, shall enjoy immunity from every form of legal process except in so far as in any particular case they have expressly waived their immunity. It is, however, understood that no waiver of immunity shall extend to any measure of execution.
hotel 'sofitel ' is where this incident took place , the word' sofitel 'is not a real word it is an abbreviation of the words ' society ' + ' finance '+'telecommunication 'hence the word 'sofitel.' staff who work there are told when they commence work orientation day that working in a hotel is all about creating 'magic ' a bit hard when your job is about cleaning toilets and vacuuming acres & acres of carpet but i did my best . staff who find expensive diamond rings lost by rich guests are held up as heroes examples for rest of the staff to follow . i never found any diamond rings there but i found lots of mobile phones which i used to give to my boss a great guy from chile who took them home to give to his kids who needed them but that was a while ago.otherwise hotels like that use lots of silver flatware ,1,000s of pieces that are easily picked up off the floor ,kilos at time after a large function has finished
Next these creeps will demand droit de seigneur
Serfs up! -
@Stacy … "Diplomatic immunity" .. thank you !
IMO the IMF and its staff have diplomatic immunity acording to the "United Nations Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the Specialized Agencies (New York Convention)"
But the US made some reservations in 1947 when they signed and maybe ratified the Convention. I couldn´t find those reservations on the internet yet.
Well let's hope they are right. We'll see ….
Hahaha, the US didn´t ratify the New York convention. So the IMF staff has diplomatic immunity status almost everywhere in the world but not in the US. And the "IMF Articles of Agreement" provides not an overall status of immunity, just immunity for certain actions for the IMF. Sorry DSK, you will have to face an jury in NYC.
I guess right now people are weighing who they hate more/less. The IMF or JP Morgan. If you hate the IMF Strauss Khan raped her. If you hate JP Morgan, it was all a setup to put Lipsky (JPM) in charge of the IMF.
I for one find it interesting that we keep getting these friday night news bombs and weekend raids. Can big news no longer happen mid week when the markets are open? I think it's fishy because if the IMF can restructure Greek debt, that's good for the Euro and Bad for the Dollar and I think this is part of a campaign of desperate measures to save the dollar at all costs. Rape is such a perfect weapon because it's like throwing radiation or dioxin on someone. They are permanently injured.
This is getting stranger and stranger 🙂
@Sierra : I agree on the Us manipulating stuff once again. Prolly the IMF was about something real bad over the us economy, what else to do than capture the ennemy on your own territory over bogus allegation, when they know you're guilty until proven innocent.
They realy needed him out of the way, or the masters of that puppet show just didn't liked SDK disobediance over an issue. Only time will tell.

text: 2,000-Year-Old Carving of Princess Reveals She Was 'Stylishly Overweight'Dodai Stewart1/07/13 4:40pmFiled to: Ancient Historyplus sizeoverweightWeighty IssuesKushEgyptPrincessprincesses139EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkA 2,000-year-old image of a royal woman has been found in the ancient city of Meroë, in Sudan. When the artwork was created, Meroë was the center of the Kingdom of Kush; the Kushite lived along the Nile and, at times, invaded Ancient Egypt and ruled as Pharaohs there. But back to the image: She is, as Owen Jarus writes for LiveScience, "stylishly overweight."AdvertisementThe sandstone relief shows a woman smiling, her hair carefully dressed and an earring on her left ear. She appears to have a second chin and a bit of fat on her neck, something considered stylish, at the time, among royal women from Kush.While researchers do not know the identity of the woman, they are quite sure she is royal: "It's similar to other images of princesses," archaeologist Krzysztof Grzymski tells LiveScience.AdvertisementJanus adds:Why royal women in Kush preferred to be depicted overweight is a long-standing mystery. "There is a distinct possibility that the large size of the Candaces represented fertility and maternity," wrote the late Miriam Ma'at-Ka-Re Monges, who was a professor at California State University, Chico, and an expert on Kush, in an article published in The Encyclopedia of Black Studies (Sage Publications, 2005).Or! Maybe it was a sign of health and wealth? Or perhaps the Kush found larger women just plain foxy? Perhaps instead of asking why being voluptuous and having a double chin was cool, we should ask why not? After all, some consider Venus de Milo to be the epitome of beauty, while others would rather worship Venus of Willendorf.Ancient Carving Shows Stylishly Plump African Princess[LiveScience] Image courtesy Krzysztof GrzymskiReply139 repliesLeave a reply

Instead of espousing some partisan rhetoric, I have prayer that will pray and embody until the dysfunction of government ceases and both parties can compromise in order to accomplish the people's business.
God, please watch over the hard working people of the United States that are working harder than ever but have less and less to show for it. Please watch over the single mom (that pays more in federal taxes than the wealthiest 1% of people in this country) that works multiple jobs and has little to no rest because the 114th Congress will not look out for her interest.
Left; Sen. Mitch McConnell (KY); Top to bottom: Sen.-Elect Shelley Capito (WV), Sen.-Elect David Perdue (GA), Sen.-Elect Joni Ernst (IA) |
Please watch over the millions of people that now have healthcare (because of the Affordable Care Act), as the 114th Congress will surely try to repeal a law that has saved lives and reduced the cost of healthcare in this country more than any other time in its history. Please watch over low-income seniors that rely on the promise of Medicare and the new healthcare law for affordable medications and preventative care.
God watch over the millions of minimum wage workers in the United States that have to work two or three jobs and double digit hours in order to make ends meet, because contrary to GOP sentiments, young people aren't the only people that work for the minimum wage. #725IsNotALivableWage
God please watch over the undocumented people, young and old, that have come to this country looking for opportunities to earn a livable wage, earn an education and maximize their God given potential.
God, please bless and watch over our Earth. The incoming party in control doesn't believe in clean water, smog or climate control. They don't believe that companies shouldn't be allowed to dump toxic into our water and pollute our skies.
Please protect our food sources as surely poisonous food companies like Tyson and Monsanto will cozy up to the GOP and push legislation that will continues to toxify our food and perpetuate the illnesses that have plagued our country (like cancer, obesity, etc.)
Please God, give the GOP new ideas and give them a vision that will move America forward, not backward. Empower them to consider the interest of the people that aren't millionaires and billionaires. Please allow them to have mercy on the disadvantaged and marginalized people of this country. I know this prayer is a long shot, but I shall believe in your divine order and hope for the best in these next two years.

In the autumn, I don't know why but it seems like the right time of year to lay down stores for the winter ahead and that's when I like to make jars of preserves. Think I'm a secret food hoarder, mind you its not a secret to some!
Well its not really autumn yet, though its felt like it in recent days here in the north west, but I bought some gorgeous plump pink grapefruits from my local market at the weekend and rather than eat them all for breakfast I decided to make some marmalade with some of them.
I've been making this marmalade recipe for years and years, why? Because its so easy to make and I do like easy...and it tastes so nice and because its home made (and I love home made as much as I love easy) you can play with the recipe a bit...add grated fresh or stem ginger...add a teaspoon of whisky to the jar before you add the finished marmalade...put some edible glitter in if you like, add whatever extra kick or extra loveliness you fancy. Make it chunky, make it fine...make it your way.
This year I'm trying to improve my Seville orange marmalade, so much so that I want to enter the national marmalade awards with it if I can get it up to standard; you can follow my exploits here.
Its a fairly old Nigella (Lawson) recipe from her Domestic Goddess book and its made with pink grapefruits and preserving sugar and lemons and that's it.
Not much skill required really...and no fancy equipment (like thermometers!).
2 pink grapefruit, weighing approximately 500g
1.5kg preserving sugar (bought from most supermarkets)
Juice of 2 lemons
(you will need 4–5 8-ounce jars)
1. Place a saucer or a small plate in your freezer, this will be needed to test the setting point of the marmalade later on.
2. Put the pink grapefruit into a large saucepan, fill with enough water so that they float freely, bring to the boil and simmer gently for about 2 hours, by which time the grapefruit should be very soft. You might need to turn the grapefruit if they are very big.
Add more hot water from a kettle if the liquid's boiling away, and whatever happens don't let it boil dry!
While the grapefruit is cooking sterilise your empty jars by putting clean washed jars into a sink or bowl and pour freshly boiled water from a kettle over the jars to cover them.
3. After the 2 hour simmer remove the fruit to a board or a plate (a plate keeps all the juice in one place). You don't need to keep the water the grapefruit was boiled in, this can be thrown away. Halve the grapefruit and pick out any pips (include the smaller ones if you can, and discard all these). Slice the cooked grapefruit thinly, (leave it thicker if you like your marmalade chunky) and then chop it, using the whole fruit and skin and pith. (if you have a food processor you can use the pulse setting a few times to chop the fruit if you like?).
4. Put the chopped grapefruit back into the saucepan, and add the preserving sugar and lemon juice. It looks like tinned sliced peaches as you can see.
After boiling for 15 minutes or so, test for setting point. The easy way to do this is to take the saucer or plate from the freezer. Place a teaspoon of the mixture on the plate, and leave for a minute. If the surface of the mixture creases when you push it with your finger, the marmalade is ready. You can tell when the marmalade is getting ready to set because the colour changes.
If it does not wrinkle when pushed boil some more, remember to put your saucer or plate back in the freezer until you test again.
Take care at this stage as any hot preserve will burn or scald.
If your messy like me give your jars a good wipe with a clean cloth. Don't forget to label with the date.
Enjoy on hot buttered toast and with a cuppa on a lie-in weekend (in bed with Saturday kitchen on TV) x.
This is my contribution to the current CONSERVES theme for breakfast club hosted by Sonia at Dinner Recipes At Sonia's Kitchen on this occasion.

Heh, we only get TNG in a green package. The UK got a Borg Cube as the container (I believe you linked to that'n year or two ago, Augie)!!!
Still I might consider if I hadn't bought all the seasons cheap from deep discount two years ago. The new extras aren't enough to tempt me (but if they're sold separately I might spring.).

Baguette-like loaves make this Irish classic easy to slice, providing perfectly sized portions.
- Yield
- Makes 3 (16-inch-long) loaves
- Active Time
- 30 min
- Total Time
- 2 1/2 hr (includes cooling)
- 5 cups whole-wheat flour (preferably stone-ground)
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour plus additional for dusting
- 1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened and cut into pieces
- 2 1/4 cups well-shaken buttermilk at room temperature
- 2 large eggs at room temperature, lightly beaten
- Accompaniments: crème fraîche; jam
- Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in middle.
- Blend flours, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, and butter in a large bowl with a pastry blender or your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. 3Stir in buttermilk and eggs until a smooth dough forms. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and divide into 3 pieces. Form each piece into a 16-inch-long log and arrange, evenly spaced, on a lightly floured baking sheet. Generously sprinkle with flour and cut 3 diagonal shallow slashes on each log with a very sharp knife.
- Bake 30 minutes, then reduce oven to 375°F and continue to bake until a wooden pick or skewer inserted into center of a loaf comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
- Transfer loaves to a rack to cool. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
Cooks' note:
Soda bread is best the day it is made, but loaves can be tightly wrapped in 2 layers of foil and frozen 1 month. Refresh, wrapped in foil, in a 325°F oven until heated through, about 20 minutes.

As always LG is the best

Comments about LG 36" Stainless Steel Electric Cooktop:
We just received and installed our cooktop this weekend and it works great, looks great and always so user friendly just like our LG TV. Love it and it fit perfectly in the opening we already had to replace a stinky old gas cooktop.
Great cooktop
By GAnneH
from Alexandria, VA
This cook-top is everything that I expected. Easy to keep clean. Gives a partially updated kitchen a very "in" look.
Love it!
By sendy

I love my new LG cook top. Heats up fast and cooks great! Cleaning is very easily done with the special cleaner that came with the cook top. The design is sleek and beautiful in my new kitchen.

overall great performance.
By TracyB
from Cincinnati, OH, United States
I keep on top of cleaning it - concerned if something would get burnt on the glass top it would be difficult to get off. Instructions say to use razor blade to remove hard dirt.
Looks Great
By terrydog
from Milan, Monroe, MI, United States
We have had the cooktop for about a month. We love the looks and the ease of use. It took a couple of tries to get everything down.
Great Cooktop
By lady walker
from Florida, United States
This unit replaced an older white cooktop with control nobs during our complete kitchen upgrade with four LG appliances. This 30" fit perfectly in the hole cut into the granite for the old one. Without nobs, it's very easy to clean and looks very nice in the granite. The controls are bright, large enough and easy to use after getting used to how long to keep your finger on them to activate. Wished we had space for the 36" unit. It also heats up very fast and is easy to change temps when needed. Great unit for the price and features!
State of the art
By Nursie
from Pahrump, NV, United States
Our old cooktop was ten years old, and troublesome. What a difference ten years makes! Best of all, the new technology was easy to use - we didn't have to get our grandson to show us how it operates.
Nice product
By Anonymous
After a brief learning process we find this cooktop to be easy to use and clean. We have only had it for about a month, but if it lasts several years I am sure it would rate 5 stars, until the future arrives, I can only rate it 4 stars for now.

Possibly the best cooktop EVER!
By Brian42
from Cape Girardeau, MO, USA
This cooktop looks great and cooks great. It heats up fast and keeps the set temperature. Because the controls are in the surface and not above it, it is a breeze to clean. And, the burner sizes are perfect fits for all of my pots and pans, unlike my previous cooktop.
By CA in SC
from Greenville, SC, USA
We have so enjoyed having this! Has plenty of room even on 30"! Cleaning is a breeze. After my refrigerator, vacuum cleaner, and this cooktop, I will go with LG for sturdy, lasting appliances! My 89 year old mom has onset of Alzheimer's, so the child setting is great!

Oh lol! How funny XD I do indeed know kureshii from the bakabt channel. Small world!
Yay!! thanks for doing that :) many people will recommend a first series, but most don't recommend things for sequels and such as well. Which is so helpful for users, of course, since they might have just watched an ova or sequel or something and want suggestions. Thanks for going above and beyond with your recommendations!! ^_^
Hi tallis, thanks for your great recommendations! I have a suggestion in case you are interested. If you think there is an anime that works for all parts of a franchise - specifically, if you liked Yokohama is a good recommendation for every Aria title (I agree, as I've seen them ^_^), what you can do is go to each Aria title, and recommend Yokohama for it. The trick is, don't check the 'recommend both ways' box. This is called a 'one way' recommendation - someone who looks up Yokohama will see a recommendation for Aria (but they won't want to see ALL Aria titles listed in the recs). But, if you add these 'one way' recommendations for Yokohama on every Aria page, when someone goes to any Aria entry, they will see a recommendation for Yokohama. Does that make sense? Let me know if it's confusing XD and thanks again for the recommendations!!

Italian literature The RenaissanceThe Tuscan vernacular that had been established by Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio was inhibited by a strong return to Latin in the 15th cent. among humanist writers and philosophers. Coluccio Salutati, Lorenzo Valla, Marsilio Ficino, and Giovanni Pico della Mirandola were among the writers and scholars who sought to return to the fonts of classical antiquity for inspiration and guidance in matters of language, literary style, moral instruction, and simply a new vision of the relation of humanity to its surroundings and to God. When the vernacular began to be used again in the late 15th cent., poetic language and tastes had been refined by the values of humanist learning. In the circle of Lorenzo de'Medici, Tuscan vernacular was used in popular, Petrarchan, and pastoral poetry and in a return to medieval subject matter. Luigi Pulci's grotesque Morgante (c.1480) recounts the adventures of Orlando (Charlemagne's Roland) and other paladins with great comic verve. Boiardo's Orlando innamorato (3 parts, 1483–1494) adds Breton subject matter to the Carolingian and introduces motifs from classical mythology and contemporary society. The great masterpiece of Italian Renaissance poetry is Ariosto's Orlando furioso (1516, rev. 1521 and 1532), in which varied and improbable adventures are worked into an aesthetic whole. The great lyric poet Tasso in Gerusalemme liberata (1581) wrote a Christian epic, making use of the same form (ottava rima), with attention to the Aristotelian canons of unity. Other Renaissance genres brought to a high level of perfection by outstanding writers were the pastoral poem (Poliziano, Tasso, and Guarini); the pastoral romance (Sannazaro); the Petrarchan lyric (Bembo, Michelangelo, Gaspara Stampa); imitations of classical tragedy (Trissino) and classical comedy (Ariosto, Machiavelli, Aretino); dialogues in the Platonic manner (Castiglione's The Courtier ); treatises on a variety of topics (Leonardo's Della pittura; Alberti's Della famiglia; Bembo's Prose della volgar lingua, which established the principle of linguistic purism for Italian literature; and Machiavelli's The Prince ); biographical and autobiographical writings (Vasari, Machiavelli, and Cellini); and history (Guicciardini and Machiavelli).

This will be remembered as the night at Glyndebourne when the lights went out. Half way through the first act of Handel's opera about sorcery during the Crusades everything was plunged into darkness and the performance ground to a halt. "At last – some magic", declared one wit. There had not been much until then.
Faced with an opera in which Christians are pitted against Saracens, the typical opera director's response might be to reach for an off-the-shelf updating to present-day Iraq. It is to Robert Carsen's credit that he has come up with something more imaginative, but do we really want to see Handel's very adult opera played out by an unruly pack of adolescents in a school classroom?
The plot starts out as a history lesson, which soon degenerates into pandemonium. There are love trysts behind the bicycle sheds and experiments in the chemistry lab that end in explosions. The culminating battle for Jerusalem becomes a football match free-for-all. The saving grace in all this is that Carsen has a sense of humour: it was a wicked idea to turn one of the armies into a marauding band of St Trinian's schoolgirls and he causes merry confusion with a long line of identikit, blonde, pigtailed girls. But a production of a Handel opera that fails to connect with the emotions cannot be counted a success.
Even if the cast had been a galaxy of star Handelians, they would have been pushed to rise to the music's emotional heights. The best of the singers is the bass Luca Pisaroni as Argante, here a Muslim housemaster, but his is a secondary role. Countertenor Tim Mead also does well as Eustazio. Otherwise, Anett Fritsch's singing as Almirena is attractive enough, Varduhi Abrahamyan's Goffredo is sturdy, and Brenda Rae's leather-clad sorceress Armida has brilliant top notes that are not matched lower down.
Ottavio Dantone conducts the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment with a sure sense of style, but does not dig much below the surface. The same might also be said of the Rinaldo of Sonia Prina, who is serious and highly skilled but rarely touches the heart. Who really put the lights out during her big aria? Perhaps it was a rival mezzo who envied her immaculate coloratura.
