God of War Ascension
In my God of War Ascension evaluation, I absolutely forgot in regards to the multiplayer aspect of the game and i am sorry I failed to mention it. But I'm glad I didn't, because because then I have been thoroughly invested in Ascensions multiplayer. Therefor it deserves its possess in depth evaluation! Again, this really is only for the multiplayer facet of the game, look at my God of War Ascension evaluation for your story mode evaluation.
I had been in no way seriously keen on the multiplayer for Ascension until right after I played the tale method. In actual fact, I actually forgot about this. But I have to express that it is a excellent mutliplayer rather than just tacked on. I've expended about 10 plus several hours on-line possessing a blast. So lets split it down!
Video game Modes: You'll find 7 full game modes in Ascension.
Staff Favor with the Gods is really a 4v4 or 2v2 loss of life match manner have been two teams go against one another and ought to reach a optimum variety of points. Killing enemies, capturing altars, and opening upper body all supply you with details.
Match of the Champions is a free-for-all method that may be played with eight or 4 gamers.
Capture the Flag. If you don't know the premise of this video game method, sorry.
Demo of the Gods can be a two player co-op knowledge or you can jump in by your self. I haven't played Demo with the Gods and do not really determine what it's essential to do in it.
So there you go, all of the match modes. I've found my self taking pleasure in the 4v4 Staff Favor from the Gods by far the most. It gets seriously enjoyable. I have performed lots of Match of the Champions also. Although enjoyable, it gets definitely frantic plus a lots of individuals steal your kills. Seize the Flag is amusing as normal also.
Gameplay: Acquire what God of War is excellent at and put it in multiplayer in which gamers can present true skill.
This can be a difficult multiplayer, I am not going to lie. You should get your time and effort and acquire familiar with everything. I'd personally thoroughly counsel utilizing the coaching arena prior to jumping in an true game. But if you are able to execute all of your combos and use every little thing at you disposal, the multiplayer results in being quite addicting.
Map Layouts: The maps on multiplayer are incredibly perfectly built. You will find a lot of items in the atmosphere that you simply can use to get rid of other players. My preferred, is the fact you can find weapons that spawn while in the map at random places and they're just wonderful to utilize.
Customization: Firstly you decide which god you ought to combat under. Zeus, Ares, Hades, and Poseidon. They all have various magic assaults that come to be very tactical during a match. It is possible to create a character for just about any god and rank them up.
There are actually a few weapon varieties. Swords, Hammers, and Spears. You will find 6 whole swords, six overall hammers, and 7 whole spears to select from. Just about every have various stats that influence you character in several approaches as well as weapon also has exclusive moves.
There are a few armor types in addition. Helmet, upper armor, and reduced armor. There are actually 20 distinct possibilities in every type.
Then you definitely have three types of qualities. Magic, product, and relic. Magic and relic just about every have 3 solutions. When relic has seven.
With all these options you can virtually have dozens of different loadouts. You'll find you shelling out hours just locating the proper loadout which will have stats to the liking.
You will find six different stats which can be afflicted by what your warrior has outfitted. Overall health, elemental power, elemental resist, actual physical electricity, bodily resist, and cooldown reduction.
Graphics: The graphics are obviously tweaked down and don't glance practically has superior as the story manner. But all the things runs sleek.

Daily Tomorrow Horoscope for Leo
April 23, 2018Monday will cause Leos a number of worries. Due to circumstances beyond your control, you will be involved in some team project. You will get a minimal role in this project, but even that will take away a lot of energy and stamina from you. Worst of all, because of these initiatives of your colleagues, you will use time which was intended for your personal projects. You have a chance to make up for the hours spent, if you devote the whole evening to work, and not leisure.

Tomorrow's Horoscope for LeoIt is not this horoscope's intention to be a perfect instruction manual or a guide which will be sure to guarantee you happiness, success and well-being. The goal of tomorrow's horoscope for Leo is a bit different and we'll touch on it below. Now we would like to draw your attention to the fact that nowadays the Internet vast spaces are truly abundant with a huge number of all sorts of horoscopes-predictions rich in highly specialized terminology which is absolutely useless to a user. Our tomorrow's horoscope for Leo is completely deprived of such phrases. Even if our experts do mention planets' certain combinations, it is only in order to point out a source of some assumption. Moreover, all our horoscopes are composed in such a way that a user himself, while reading through a horoscope, starts getting a general idea not only about certain celestial phenomena, but their possible consequences as well.
Therefore, tomorrow's horoscope for Leo will not strike you as something pseudoscientific. At the same time, you will have a clear idea of why you should act in a certain way. It is up to you whether you want to follow advice or not. However, we strongly recommend that you at least make note of the text highlights since an astrological forecast for the next day, let's be honest, will have a strong positive effect even if the forecasted events do not fully match the reality. This statement, however, is more of a message for sceptics and the ignorant. Educated people with an unbiased frame of mind and capable of thinking objectively and outside the box realize that astrology is not an attempt to write off the mistakes on some illusory events that have absolutely nothing to do with a person. Nor is astrology the way for the pundits, who look down upon physical labour, to entertain their mind, either. Astrology is not even a science. It is something more than that; it is a fine art of reading and interpreting the messages from the stars which are being sent to us every second by means of various physical phenomena.
In essence, a regular person does not really care where the astrologists get their information. What is much more important is that as the result of their efforts we receive the answers to all our questions.

The Planning Division assists and guides citizens and City leaders toward more productive, orderly and attractive patterns of physical and economic development that enhances the quality of life in San Angelo.
Check out Planning & Development Services 2017 Annual Report by click the link below:
Planning and Development Services 2017 Newsletter
This page is meant to provide San Angelo residents, business owners and visitors timely information about the people and places that comprise San Angelo's 24 distinct neighborhoods that are cumulatively home to nearly 100,000 residents. Each neighborhood has its own page with basic demographic information and opportunities to learn about private commercial development and City capital improvement projects underway in each area and throughout the city.
Comprehensive plan
The comprehensive plan was adopted by the City Council in 2003 and was updated in the 2009 strategic plan. The purpose of this effort was to ensure that future development in the community be grounded in market and economic reality and representative of stakeholder interests. The update is a compilation of strategies and initiatives deemed most important for the City of San Angelo to realize the vision established by the initial comprehensive plan.
Downtown Master Development Strategic Plan
The downtown master development strategic plan was presented to and approved by the Downtown Development Commission on Dec. 16, 2013 - and then presented to and approved by the City Council the following day. It, along with an analysis prepared in 2011 by City staff, will serve as guiding documents for revitalization within the Downtown Development District.
Lake Nasworthy Area Plan
The Lake Nasworthy area plan was presented to the City Council on Nov. 5, 2013, and approved 6-0 as an amendment to the city's comprehensive plan.
River Walk named Great Place in America
The Concho River Walk has been designated one of five Great Public Spaces on the American Planning Association's annual Great Places in America list.
APA's Great Places in America program recognizes streets, neighborhoods and public spaces that demonstrate exceptional character, quality and planning. Those attributes, the APA says, enrich communities, facilitate economic growth and inspire others around the country. The Great Neighborhoods, Great Streets and Great Public Spaces of 2017 are unique places that are exemplary in amenities and infrastructure, in cultural identity and in the use of sustainable and innovative practices.
"The Concho River is an absolute jewel," Mayor Brenda Gunter said. "San Angelo has always known that. Now the rest of this great country does, as well. We hope this will spark an even greater interest among visitors to come see our River Walk … and all that San Angelo has to offer.
"The community can take a lot of pride in having invested in San Angelo's signature asset," she added. "The River Walk has been transformed into an engaging place to picnic with your family, to play with your kids, to stroll with your sweetie, to socialize with your neighbors and to celebrate with your community."
APA President Cynthia Bowen agreed, noting the River Walk is among the places that "effectively create a sense of place that enhances the lives of all residents and visitors."
While San Angelo has long been an economic and social hub for West Texas, residents and city officials believed more could be done to cement the city's distinctiveness. In the mid-2000s, city officials had the passion and vision to harness one of the city's greatest assets – the North Concho River. The River Walk improvement project developed its banks in a way that increased accessibility to both sides of the stream. In doing so, the city created a deepened sense of community and place, drawing tourists and sparking commercial activity. With plans to expand the Concho River Walk even further, the story of San Angelo's reinvention may have only just begun.
The APA also recognized the following public spaces this year:
- Mill Creek Linear Park – Bakersfield, California
- Rosa Parks Circle – Grand Rapids, Michigan
- County Home Complex – Greenville, North Carolina
- Market Square – Knoxville, Tennessee
Since launching the Great Places in America program in 2007, APA has recognized 275 neighborhoods, streets and public spaces around the country. Designees are selected annually and represent the gold standard in terms of having a true sense of place, cultural and historical interest, community involvement, and a vision for the future.
For the fourth year, the public can suggest their favorite public space, neighborhood or street to earn a "People's Choice" designation. Throughout October, people can offer suggestions via APA's social media channels using #APAgreatplaces. APA will select five finalists the public can vote on via APA's website. The "People's Choice" winner will be announced in early November.
For more information about these public spaces, as well as APA's Great Public Spaces and Streets for 2017 and previous years, visit planning.org/greatplaces.

You'll be turning green all right . . .
The St. Patrick's Day Breakfast in South Boston has become the Super Bowl for hacks and at this morning's blowhard-a-thon, no scandal will be too sacred.
Event host Sen. Jack Hart (D-S. Boston) says "scandal sells for humor" and expects this year to be no different. Topics ripe for the picking are the bribery scandal involving disgraced former Sen. Dianne Wilkerson and Hub City Councilor Chuck Turner, Gov. Deval Patrick's proposed gas tax hike, ex-Speaker Salvatore F. DiMasi's unceremonious exit and the mayoral race.
"The scandalous events over the past year, those will be the topics," Hart said. "As host, I never wish any ill on anybody but if there's controversy in the public arena, it makes for a better show."
Patrick and Mayor Thomas M. Menino are expected, as are Councilors Michael Flaherty and Sam Yoon, both running for mayor.
This year the event will be seen by more viewers than ever as the breakfast will be broadcast on Comcast SportsNet. Last year, the event was shown on CN8, which is only available to Comcast subscribers. But CSN, home of the Boston Celtics, is available on satellite and other cable providers.
"We had a decent number of people call us last year trying to find it. Barrooms and restaurants with satellite couldn't find it. Parts of New England not served by Comcast couldn't get it," said Hart. "More people will see it this year than in past years."
Now in his eighth year as host, Hart said he's settling into the role and has given up trying to live up to the reputation of former Senate President Billy Bulger, who ran the breakfast for three decades.
"He was a guy that was unique in his own right. I don't try to be him," Hart said. "He also hosted it for 30-plus years. Perhaps in 25 or 30 years, I'll get the routine down."
D.C. Hoedown
After the breakfast, many pols will be high-tailing it to Washington, D.C., for a fete thrown by Sen. John F. Kerry tomorrow night.
Boston City Councilors Sal LaMattina, John Tobin and Charles Yancey will be there, along with U.S. Reps. John Tierney (D-Salem), Michael Capuano (D-Somerville), Jim McGovern (D-Worcester) and Niki Tsongas (D-Lowell). Also expected at the event, part of the weeklong National League of Cities conference in D.C., are Malden Mayor Richard Howard, Cambridge Mayor Denise Simmons, Medford Mayor Michael McGlynn and Somerville Mayor Joseph Curtatone - fresh off an exhausting week hosting U2 in Davis Square.
Hub CEO visits O
Lastly, Greg Selkoe, CEO and founder of Boston-based Karmaloop.com, was among 25 of the top young business leaders under age 35 in the nation who met with officials in President Obama's Cabinet this week at the White House.
Also with Selkoe was fellow dot.com dude Evan Williams, founder of Twitter, and Ivanka Trump.
Separated at birth?
Ex-Wall Street bigwig Bernie Madoff pleaded guilty to Ponzi swindling charges last week, revealing he had, like "Batman's" Penguin, said, "played this stinkin' city like a harp from hell."
Listen to "Pols & Politics" Mondays at 7 p.m. on "Monday Night Talk" with Sen. Bob Hedlund on 95.9 FM WATD.

Internet connectivity
Nearly nineteen out of twenty connections to the Internet are via broadband.
In September 2008, broadband connections accounted for 94.1 per cent of all Internet connections, up from 92.8 per cent in June 2008. This is according to the latest update from the survey of Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Despite continuing increases in broadband connections, an 18.6 per cent decrease in dial-up resulted in a 0.4 per cent fall in the index of all connections between June and September 2008, to 118.4.

Players Competing From Different Tees
A Course Handicap represents the number of strokes needed from a specific set of tees to play to the level of a scratch golfer; i.e., to the USGA Course Rating. The calculation of a Course Handicap only includes a player's Handicap Index® and the Slope Rating® of the tees being played. When a USGA Course Rating difference exists among competitors, they are playing to different benchmarks, and an adjustment equal to the full difference in USGA Course Rating must be made in order for the competition to be equitable.
Old Tappan Golf Club Example: Players competing from two different tees:
Player A is competing from the Blue/White tees (68.8) and Player B is competing from the White/Gold tees (66.7). Since the USGA Course Rating difference is two strokes (68.8 – 66.7 = 2.1, which is rounded to 2), Player A must add two to the Course Handicap calculated from the Blue/White tees. As an alternative, Player B may deduct two from the Course Handicap calculated from the White/Gold tees, as the overall effect would be the same (see Decision 3-5/1).
Please note that a golf club may not ignore Section 3-5/9-3c when players are competing from a different USGA Course Rating as doing so would be waiving a Rule of Golf. The Committee in charge of a competition does not have the authority to waive a Rule of Golf (see Decision 3-5/2).

Equitable Stroke Control Adjustment Chart
Important Tournament Procedures
With our tournament season about to start, please remember the two important procedures below. Disqualification may result from not adhering to these procedures.
- You must sign up for a tournament BEFORE teeing off. This procedure is for everyone's protection. If you decide to attempt to qualify on Sunday and you shoot a career round on Saturday, congratulations! But you're still qualifying on Sunday.
- When entering scores on the sign-up sheet, please enter scores for every hole, not simply your total score or your front-nine, back-nine and total scores. These hole-by-hole scores are used not only as tie-breakers for qualifying, but are also used for seeding purposes. Thus, we need hole-by-hole scores from everyone.
Handicap Committee Report – Guidelines for the Season
• Golf Season – Begins April 1st and runs through October 31st.
The computer has been on for the past few weeks so our members may check handicaps and post in-season scores played away. When in doubt, ask the pro if they are in-season before posting.
• Handicap Allowances – Based on Course Handicap. ( USGA Index adjusted for Old Tappan tees.)
All matches are to be played at Course Handicap unless an authorized committee finds it necessary to make an adjustment during tournament play. In such a case, the golfer will be notified in advance of the reason for the adjustment and may appeal.
• Peer Review – Golfers are required to post all scores, (home and away), for rounds played according to the rules of golf. They should follow the guidelines on the bulletin board for adjusting scores according to the following: equitable stroke control, holes not finished, and holes not played.
It is our responsibility to monitor scores throughout the season. If a golfer is suspected of manipulating his handicap or fails to post, please feel free to remind the golfer and bring it to my attention so we can determine the appropriate response.
• Score Cards – Proper completion of score cards is required for all men's club tournaments.
Failure to properly complete and return score cards as directed by the Tournament Committee may result in disqualification. Score cards should only be placed in the box for major tournaments and as directed by the Committee to do so.
We will be monitoring score posting for the major tournaments in particular to make sure scores are posted properly. I have asked the tournament committee to add a "Date Played" column to the sheets for these events and to coordinate this with my committee.
Also, a link to the Handicap Committee section of the USGA Handicap Manual for your reference:
Handicap System Manual – Handicap Committee Section
Thank you for your assisstance and enjoy the season!
Rules Corner: Fourth Hole
On the fourth hole, the out-of-bounds markers run – following the shape of the hole – from the tee box to last tree at the top of the hill to the left of the fourth green. Right now, the hole is staked with OB markers half way up the hill after the dog-leg. However, the hole should be played as if the OB markers extend to the top of the hill to the last tree.
Please note that the intent of extending the out-of-bounds markers to the top of the hill is to prevent play up the fifth hole via the gap in the trees created by the damage from Hurricane Sandy. The new OB marking is being done for the safety of the membership and you are being asked to NOT play up the fifth fairway. If you are at the gap in the trees, you've hit your tee shot 100 yards. Thus, you are no Bubba Watson and you CAN NOT reach the fourth green from there. Save a life and, more importantly, your handicap by playing within your ability.

Ms. Staub is hands down one of my favorite authors, and each year I eagerly anticipate her newest suspense book. I got Dead Before Dark last week and started reading it last week and just now finished it. I really enjoyed it and give it an A-.
Back cover:
The Night Watchman is ready to kill- again. After thirty-five years in prision, he is free to commit the same twisted atrocities that once made him as notorious as the Zodiac Killer and Jack the Ripper. Now at last, his moment has come...
For renowned psychic Lucinda Sloan, fame is a double edged sword. Through her television apperances, she helps police capture America's most elusive serial killers. Unfortunately, she also catches the eye of the Night Watchman. Once this madman learns that Lucinda "sees" murders after they're committed, it's time to play...
The first victim is someone she knows- a personal shock that brings Lucinda closer to her ex-lover, Detective Randall Barakat. Then a second murder in Chicago, and a third in Denver, makes her realize that the Night Watchman is toying with her. Each victim wears a wristwatch...each watch bears a message... and each message is a warning for Lucinda that her time is up and soon she'll be the next to die...
I will be the first to admit that I am not the biggest fan of paranormal books, including those about psychics, so I was a bit worried that Dead Before Dark might not be that great. This wasn't a problem, though, because while Lucinda's psychic powers play a small part in the book, it isn't all the book is about. The killer was quite creepy, and the clues he leaves only add to the suspense. It was also nice to catch up with Cam and her family, who were the center of Ms. Staub's previous suspense novel. All in all, this was just a pleasure to read and one that keeps the reader engaged.
I read this book so slowly, and I am not sure why. My reading has just slowed way down. Today is my birthday, so I took the day off from work and made time to read. I think a big problem is that I get distracted with the computer or something on t.v. so I just need to make a point of it that I keep them both off. I have some great books that I just picked up from the library along with some great ones I got from the library used book sale, so I definitely need to get back on the ball. I hope everyone else is having a wonderful week and Happy Reading!

We recently moved to a house with much needed extra space. Apparently with the extra space came some extra mirrors because sometimes I happen to look up as I walk into my bedroom and catch a glimpse of myself walking. It is a shock at times to see with my eyes the goofy way I am getting around. After the initial shock wears off, I have to laugh because the stares and sometimes laughter is starting to make sense.
When I am out in public there are times I cannot seem to get out of someones way fast enough. Most people are very generous and nice, but there are those few who would rather knock me over than just hold back a few until I can move out of their way. Sometimes I have wanted to yell out "I used to be you. I used to be able to walk just like you. This could be you, you know." I am glad I am not just like that anymore. I hope and pray I have never been so impatient to someone with a cane, etc...but I have been the one in a big rush no matter what. I always walked in a hurry and rushed everywhere I went. I am really glad I am not able to do that anymore. Well, sometimes it would be nice, but the fact I am getting around is all that matters.
It is the Christmas season and I know I will face some of this when I am out and about. People can stare and even laugh if they want to because I wish they could also figure out to slow down, seriously. Most of what we all rush, rush, rush around for is just not that important. So I am going to do my very best to smile at the rude people, oh and I will smile at the nice and curteous ones also.

When neutron stars collide...we get gold?
Digital Reporter
Sunday, September 8, 2013, 5:42 PM -
Ancient Egyptians buried their dead with it. Wedded couples symbolize their everlasting love for one another with it placed on their left ring finger. And if you're a baby boomer, it is highly likely that the dentist may have filled your mouth with it.
By now you may have guessed it -- we're talking about gold. Bright, shiny, yellow gold.
But ever wonder where it comes from?
New results from studies of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) on June 3rd, suggests gold could be created in the collision of two neutron stars.
"We estimate that the amount of gold produced and ejected during the merger of the two neutron stars may be as large as 10 moon masses - quite a lot of bling!" said lead author Edo Berger of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA), in a press release published on the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics website.
Unlike elements like carbon or iron, gold cannot be created with a star. Instead, scientists say it takes a 'cataclysmic event', such as that GRB of three months ago.
Gamma-ray bursts come in two varieties - long and short - depending on how long the flash of gamma rays lasts. GRB 130603B, detected by NASA's Swift satellite on June 3rd, lasted for less than two-tenths of a second.
The team of scientists calculate that 1 percent of the suns mass of material was ejected at the time of the crash, including some of which was gold.
By combining the estimated gold produced by a single short GRB with the number of such explosions that have occurred over the age of the universe, all the gold in the cosmos might have come from gamma-ray bursts.
"To paraphrase Carl Sagan, we are all star stuff, and our jewelry is colliding-star stuff," concluded Berger.

Here is some movie news featuring some of Hollywood's top actors…..
Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp. Need we say more? The two are reportedly in talks to star together in Children of Men director Alfonso Cuaron's The Tourist. These two would be PERFECT together on screen! The film would be about Depp's character, an American tourist, falling in love with Angelina's character, an Interpol agent. sounds like an action/adventure/romance! We can't wait!
Jake Gyllenhaal is currently deep in talks to star in the sci-fi thriller Source Code, about a soldier who wakes up in another mans body and has to solve the mystery of a train explosion in order to discover who he really is. The film is to be directed by Duncan Jones, David Bowie's son.
Gwyneth Paltrow is officially signed on to the film The Danish Girl, which currently has Nicole Kidman as well. The film is about the world's first transsexual, and Kidman and Paltrow will be playing husband and wife . This film is based on a true story, and Charlize Theron was attached in the role of Greta Wagner, which is who Paltrow will be portraying. We guarantee some girl on girl action. Should be interesting…..
Diane Kruger will be co-starring with Liam Neeson in Unknown White Male, a film about a man who wakes from a coma to find that another man has assumed his identity. Neeson was recently in the box office hit Taken, and will be in the upcoming film version of The A-Team.
Sony pictures, who gave us Michael Jackson's This Is It, is doing another concert film, this one in 3D. Country superstar Kenny Chesney will be starring in Kenny Chesney: Summer 3D, which will be a limited engagement film starting in April of next year. A 3D concert sounds cool, however, a Kenny Chesney concert does not.
What do you think??

Indian Test captain Virat Kohli has praised Australia and New Zealand as the two Trans-Tasman rivals agreed to play the first ever day-night Test starting on November 27, at the Adelaide Oval.
The longest and classical format of the game has seen dwindling fan following at the stadium. So, the International Cricket Council planned day-night Tests to revive the popularity of the among the fans.
"It is a landmark Test," Virat Kohli said on the eve of the third Test of the four-match "Gandhi-Mandela" "Freedom series" at Nagpur.
"It is a big experiment. It is a big step towards changing something in Test cricket. I hope it works. I hope it can be another option as well.
"I'm glad two teams have actually agreed to play an official Test like that as an experiment. Credit to Australia and New Zealand, both, that they have decided to do this.
"Hopefully, it will be better for the game. It will be a step which we all might remember a few years down the line. Let's hope so."
The 50 over format and the shortest format of the game Twenty 20 are popular as they are the day-night affairs. But, some of the Australian players are dubious about the visibility and durability of the pink ball which has been especially made for the first day-night Test match.
Kohli, who is one of the best young batsmen of temporary cricket, said the idea of day-night Test will pave the way to save the Test matches from going to be abolished.
"If it is officially put into place it will be something different, it will be something exciting," he said.
"As cricketers we all should be willing and accepting of the fact that we need to step forward and contribute to the game, however, possible.
"If this is a step towards improving the excitement and the popularity of Test cricket, then I think every team should be in for it."
Meanwhile, former Indian Test crickter MS Dhoni once showed his interest in a pink ball as he played one short match in Australia during the Tri-nation series involving Australia, India and England in last January this year. The match played before and after the India versus Australia ODI at Melbourne Cricket Ground.
The Indian ODI captain bowled a few overs and enjoyed the game with locals boys. The match was the first unofficial trial of the pink ball conducted by Channel9, the official broadcaster of the match.

We put in the garden last week. I'll tell you... I'm becoming quite the country girl! I've been in charge of watering the garden... which is NO SMALL TASK!
But I'm really enjoying being outside. Tonight I dug 6 more holes for the raspberry "twigs" that are on their way from Gurney's. Also prepared rows the the 25 strawberry plants that coming...
Last night my neighbor came by with a whole bunch of garlic plants! They smell so good!!! Got those planted this afternoon.
I envision paths of brick near my garden... so I'll have to scout around town for some used brick.
Sorry that it's been so long since my last post. Lots going on!!!

It was kind of like old home week the other day. Not the other day at the Vashon Park District commissioners meeting- that is pretty much always like a combination of Dick Cheney, "no torture here" waterboarding sessions combined with failed attempts at personal improvement through firewalking and napping on beds of nails. What I'm talking about here is a visit to the King County Aquatics Center in Federal Way, where I was along for the ride to offer moral and lap counting support for Wendy's pre- open water swim season warm up at the Pacific Northwest Association of Masters Swimmers winter short course championships. I realized after I had been hanging out on the deck for awhile that it had been exactly 30 years ago that I had read about the then upcoming PNA champs and had gone to the Pavilion Pool at the U Dub to watch and talk with coaches about my getting back in the pool again after 10 years away. As it turned out, a number of people that I swam with and against way back then are still around and still making waves- both there in Federal Way and elsewhere. The repeated question I was asked of course was: are you swimming?
Other than that question, these conversations were fun, laced with remembrances of past competitions. But the most interesting and enlightening conversation I had was with Bob Bruce, or Coach Bob as he is known to the folks in the Central Oregon Masters Association, or COMA as it is more affectionately known. It all started when I asked him how they did it- the it being an amazing aquatics facility in Bend that includes an indoor pool, and an indoor/ outdoor 50 meter pool with a removable roof and a training and exercise facility. What he told me was they knew it was going to be a hard sell to the community of 80,000 residents- an $8 million pool project might seem a bit extreme to some. They knew going in that voter approval would be difficult, so they took out a loan and built it. Then they marketed the heck out of what the facility had to offer, and in looking at the current budget information on the Bend Parks and Rec website, they are showing that the improvements that they made to this facility "…have greatly assisted in supporting a cost recovery increase from 64% in 2004-05 to an annual average of 82-86%". Some might call this extraordinary, and they do, as the Bend parks experience is held up as an example to the rest of us- they did get a national gold medal award for excellence in Park and Rec management.
It would have been nice if the attempts to cover the pool here had passed when it came up for a vote years ago. But at the time, the addition of amenities- sauna, jacuzzi, weight room- to the overall package design were seen as frivolous extras as opposed necessary additions to draw in more people. We could have been taking advantage of year round indoor, and perhaps outdoor swimming as well. One of the recent proposals to cover the Island pool with a removable roof similar to Bend's Juniper Facility showed a cost somewhere in the $700-$900 thousand range, somewhere in the realm of a half to a third of what has been spent on the VES field project, which according to various opinions voiced at last night's commissioners' meeting is in danger of not being completed, and therefore not yielding the matching grants expected at completion, which would threaten the existence of the entire Vashon Park District. If one takes a peek at the latest iteration of the VPD budget, available at the VPD website, one can see that in the income column, the pool is showing expected revenue of $62,500, which is for three months of operating time. If one looks in the expected income column for the VES fields, which it would seem, because of their superior engineering and weather resistant drainage, should be open all the year 'round, one sees nothing at all except a hyphen.
While one is paying a visit to the VPD site, one could also go to the "VES Master Plan" page, the beige colored hypertext link for which can be found when scrolling down the home page and stopping just before one gets to the three donation buttons. Traveling to the master plan, one can scroll through lots of words about the project to pictures of the fields as they were. While they are not necessarily representations of things of beauty, they certainly look like functional fields to me, and certainly more than adequate for the $0 return in revenue indicated in the budget. One might ask if a situation might not be in the offing similar to the one anticipated in some quarters in the great Seattle tunnel boondoggle. Like the high tolls suggested for using the tunnel potentially forcing drivers to seek cheaper alternates on surface routes through downtown, if fees were charged for the use of the VES field that were commensurate with the cost of its completion, wouldn't everyone just go and play somewhere else? On the other hand, as far as I have heard, other than raising user fees system wide, there are no plans to increase VPD revenues through the use of these fields, and even if there were such plans, it seems dubious that they would come anywhere near generating enough of a return for even a partial recovery of costs for this nightmare.
At Tuesday night's meeting a new member to the recently formed oversight committee, Mitch Treese- a construction professional, reported on walking the site the day before this past meeting, and he noted that all of the projects he observed that were listed as important to completion were behind schedule, some significantly tardy. He spoke of the rigid abyss of the deadline and the possible loss of the $152K in matching grant funding. He noted that while volunteers were helpful, they could not get the job done as quickly and efficiently as professionals, who he believes would have a better chance of meeting the deadline, but with an additional cost - not available or budgeted for- of at least $50K. He also said that the currently underfunded and understaffed manner in which this project is being carried out is a recipe for disaster. There was a call somewhere for some hard decisions to be made by the board, but that was lost somewhere in discussions of caretakers bringing towels to holiday renters at the lighthouse. Anyone have any nautical deck furniture they want rearranged? The VPD commissioners have plenty of experience with that.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – Valhalla Golf Club will host celebrities and champions this week, but PGA officials say, it's really the volunteers who make the PGA Championship what it is.
"It's been a really great experience," said volunteer Gary Boblitt.
Of the 3,500 volunteers from 40 states and five countries, most of them, like Boblitt, return to the championship to volunteer every chance they can.
"I just enjoy the people," said Boblitt. "People that are our volunteers are very nice, and the opportunity to see inside the ropes and see what's going on -- it's a lot of fun."
The volunteers work admission, shuttles, contestant transportation and are marshals. The marshals maintain order on the greens.
"They help with keeping the crowds silent, said Volunteer Operations Manager Allie Hanson. "You'll see them pull the ropes up for the players to cross and everything. They're a big part to helping control the crowds."
Boblitt said he likes handling transportation, but he knows to be respectful of the golfers.
"I've driven Jack Nicklaus back to the airport during the Ryder cup, I've seen Tiger several times, and I've seen a lot of the golfers, Boblitt said, "but basically, I try not to say anything much. They have a job to do, and I let them do it."
Boblitt said he likes showing the golfers Kentucky hospitality and showing them around town.
"They're very hospitable, but as the week goes on and they get into the actual playing, then the determination is there," Boblitt said. "They don't want to be bothered. They're very focused on what they're doing."
Tickets already are sold out for the championship on Thursday through Sunday.

Just read this quote from Chesterton....very relevant and poetic, indeed.
And indeed this is the last and not the least gracious of the casual works
of magic wrought by rain: that while it decreases light, yet it doubles it.
If it dims the sky, it brightens the earth. It gives the roads (to the
sympathetic eye) something of the beauty of Venice. Shallow lakes of
water reiterate every detail of earth and sky; we dwell in a double
universe. Sometimes walking upon bare and lustrous pavements, wet under
numerous lamps, a man seems a black blot on all that golden looking-glass,
and could fancy he was flying in a yellow sky. But wherever trees and
towns hang head downwards in a pigmy puddle, the sense of Celestial
topsy-turvydom is the same. This bright, wet, dazzling confusion of shape
and shadow, of reality and reflection, will appeal strongly to any one
with the transcendental instinct about this dreamy and dual life of ours.
It will always give a man the strange sense of looking down at the skies.

Even in Phoenix, AZ we had rain... In fact, had we been here (instead of Arkansas), we could have gone north an hour and gotten snow. I guess Florida's weather is nice only if you don't have to live in it all the time.

"United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Monday dismissed calls by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to shut down UNRWA, the UN agency for 'Palestinian refugees'.
Netanyahu's call came after terror tunnels were discovered underneath one of UNRWA's schools in Gaza. Guterres 'is concerned about recent public criticism of UNRWA and the integrity of its operations,' spokesman Farhan Haq said, according to AFP.
'He wishes to express his support for UNRWA and his admiration for the role it plays in delivering essential services and protecting the rights of millions of Palestine refugees across the Middle East.'
Guterres also 'calls on all member states to continue their support to the agency in order for UNRWA to be in a position to fulfill impartially and efficiently its essential role,' Haq added...
The discovery of a terror tunnel underneath an UNRWA school is not the first time that UNRWA has been found to be involved with Hamas.
During the 2014 counterterrorism Operation Protective Edge, Hamas rockets were discovered inside an UNRWA school building.
Likewise, a booby-trapped UNRWA clinic was detonated, killing three IDF soldiers. Aside from the massive amounts of explosives hidden in the walls of the clinic, it was revealed that it stood on top of dozens of terror tunnels, showing how UNRWA is closely embedded with Hamas.
More recently, it was revealed that Suhail al-Hindi, a Gaza employee of UNRWA, had been elected to Hamas's political bureau..."
U.N. Secretary-General concerned about the criticism of UNRWA, not the actual scandals Article
"The United Nations has confirmed that its top official in Myanmar is being moved from her position...
Internal UN documents - shown to the BBC - said the organisation had become "glaringly dysfunctional", and wracked by internal tensions.
A UN spokeswoman confirmed Ms Lok-Dessallien, a Canadian citizen, was being 'rotated', saying this had nothing to do with her performance which she said had been 'consistently appreciated'.
Late last year as tens of thousands of Rohingya fled rape and abuse at the hands of Burmese soldiers, the UN team inside Myanmar was strangely silent.
Ms Lok-Dessallien and her spokesman declined simple requests for information; and on one absurd occasion she visited the conflict area, but on her return refused to allow journalists to film or record her words at a press conference.
The BBC was told that on numerous occasions aid workers with a human rights focus were deliberately excluded from important meetings..."

Dustin is indeed taking the loss of Carrie Fisher pretty hard.
Dustin is indeed taking the loss of Carrie Fisher pretty hard.
The Force will be with her. Always.
That's a great pose for the mandatory Gold-Bikini version, too.
Was there ever a collectible like that?
Carrie Fisher was wonderful. I was so happy to see her again in The Force Awakens. Now I don't know how to feel. Except that she will be missed.
She's one with the Force now.
F**k, that hit a little harder than I was expecting!
the jabba statue is nice, but I want that lamp!
If there wasn't a Gold Bikini version like that, there ought to have been 🙂
There was in fact. It's sold out from the original vendor, but you might find it in a store somewhere, and probably pop up on ebay from time to time:
She is now one with the force
You mean She is one with The Force.
Lovely tribute. I'm completely with Dustin on this.
Actually there is.
Death is only phyical for her spirit and the memories of her accolades will always be with us.
As big a Star Wars fan as Dustin is, I totally saw something like this coming. Also a nice fakeout about the Mathers thing. I am honestly hoping Wayne approaches Dustin on bended knee to apologize.
Now that's what I call a perfect Deus Ex from the real world to solve this conflict. ^^
It's almost as if Alina had foreseen this… or…. Oh god!
As one who watched "A New Hope" back in the 70's, Star Wars left a deep mark in my life that will last for ever
Heart attacks are a known consequence of extreme dieting.
Fisher had had to drop one quarter, that is literally ONE FOURTH, of her body mass as a condition of playing the character she originated. Not body fat. BODY MASS. They took her weight, including bones, toenails, hair, and guts, and said, "You gotta go to three quarters of this, Carrie."
And then she died.
But ~~everybody knows that losing weight is good for youuuu!~~ So it must have been the drugs, yup yup.
Sorry not sorry. Just a bit bitter over here.
I used to have bedsheets just like those….
No, Timmy, Alina is just running with it. You have to figure that those author types are pretty good at dealing with ideas.
I just wanna say, that my favorite thing with this scene is that the only version of Leia on his dresser that has that horrible golden bikini in it is the one where she's actually choking Jabba to death.
Oooh, this is so sad ….. and so sweet. Look at the teeny Leia strangling Jabba! *sniffles*

Ask a Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Thank you for your very informative answer, In your first para last sentence you mention repayment schedule. There has been no repayment schedule agreed, we actually still have a small amount of arrears but the court continued the case to monitor monthly payments ie normal monthly payments to ensure paid regularly that is each month without mention of repayment of arrears and again no set repayment schedule.
You recently answered a question which I believe will be attached to this. The trustee has applied to Glasgow Sheriff Court for permission to raise proceedings to try and sell the house. In the first instance is all I need to do is Return Form 07 notifying my intention to defend the action along with the court fee of £90? I do not need to lodge my actual defence at this time?
Terry Hamilton
thank you once again. VERY HELPFUL.
You have answered question re my sequestration and the Trustee's ability to force sale of my home. Today I lodge my defence, is there a set form or layout I should use? And should I include section 39(4) of the Bankruptcy (Scotland) Act 1985 within my defence. I look forward to your reply
I have to lodge defences today and have until 5th June for making adjustments to defences and att that point I will have a Solicitor in place to amend defences.. Are you allowed to recommend a Glasgow solicitor?
Is section 39(4) of the Bankruptcy (Scotland) Act 1985 a plea in law and are you able to recommend any other plea in law?
1.The said heritable subjects being a family home in terms of section 40 of the bankruptcy scotland act 1985 and for the first and second defenders having refused to consent to the sale thereof, it is epdient that authority for the sale of the one half pro indiviso share of the said subjects which have been vested in the trustee of the debtor as first craved.
2.the pursuer being trustee on the sequestrated estate of the first named defender and the the trustee and second named defender being pro indiviso proprieters of the subjects, the pursuer is entitled to the division or sale of the subjects as second craved
3. The said heritable subjects being a family home in terms of section 40 of the bankruptcy scotland act 1985 and the first and second defenders having refused to cooperate in the marketing and sale thereof, it is expedient that authority to enter possession of the said subjects is granted as third craved
have never refused to cooperate never talked about selling
4. The pursuer being entiitled in the circumstances condescended upon to enter into possessions of the said subjects, and being further entitled to decree of ejection, decree should be granted as fourth craved.
What does quoad ultra denied mean please
Finally I hand in my defences to the Civil office at the court is there anything else I need to do or hand in.
You have kindly answered questions previously to my ongoing court action. It is my intention to make financial offer to agree a buy out amount for my share of the house but in the meantime can you help me answer the following,
Pleas in Law
The defenders averments being irrelevant et separatim lacking in specification decree de plano should be granted as craved.
How would this be answered.
How do I answer or what is the relevance of this
The said heritable subects being a "family home" in terms of section 40 of the Banruptcy (Scotland ) Act 1985 and the first and Second named defenders having refused to consent to the sale thereof, it is expedient that authority for the sale of the one half pro indiviso of the said subjects which have vested in the Trustee of the Debtor is granted as first craved.
The pursuer being Trustee on the sequestrated estate of the First named defender and the Trustee and Second Named Defender being being pro indiviso proprietors of the subjects, the Pursuer is entitled to the division or sale of the subjects as second craved.
Also surely my wife has to agree to the sale of the house?
Section 40 in terms of financial ability to re house?
39A the three year time limit, is this where the pursuer has to claim a debt within 3 years?
In what way would it not be competent
is 39A of the bankruptcy act
Good morning,
The main basis of my defence will be based on financial offer to my trustee but also need to argue on the below
The First and second Defender craves the court,
To deny the pursuer, in terms of section 40 of the Bankruptcy (Scotland) Act 1985 (a) and (b) the right to sell or otherwise dispose of the one half pro indiviso interest in the heritable subects known as and forming 3 Alexandra Park Kirkintilloch Glasgow g66 5BH and registered in the Land register of Scotland under title number GLA109974, which interest in the subjects has vested in the Pursuer as Trustee on the sequestrated estate of the debtor. The pursuer has taken no account of the Second defenders financial resources or needs.
I am unsure as to relevance of " (d) the length of the period during which (whether before or after the relevant date) thefamily home was used as a residence by any of the persons referred to in [ paragraphs (a)
My thanks for your assistance, defences lodged so here's hoping I am successful.
15/6/2015 is the last day for intimating, together with your grounds, a note of any preliminary pleas
Could you please explain what it means by preliminary pleas. Is there a set format for this.
If, as I do, intend to reach financial settlement with the pursuer is there a plea in law applicable to this to lodge as my preliminary plea.
If I do not lodge a preliminary plea today I assume then options hearing due for the 19/6 still goes ahead based on the defences I have lodged.
Thank you for your help
I have been served Form G7 Form of intimation of Motion and Form G9, this is a motion for Summary decree. The Form G7 has section, "Last date for Lodging Notice of opposition: 30th June 2015. As this date is the date on the papers served on me then am I correct in saying that this is the date that I and the courts will work to for me lodging notice of opposition. I ask this as the pursuers solicitors had in correspondence by email stated the date was 17th June 2015. Although the 17th may have been the date they intended surely if papers served state 30th June then the 30th is the correct date.
I am lodging form G9 notice of opposition to motion of Summary Decree.It states Notice of opposition to Motion by (1)to(2)by(3)on (4)
Please advise what I should insert at these points

For those outdoor men and women who can never get enough turkey hunting, there's a new season in town and it's quite different than any other turkey hunt. Called "winter turkey season," its either a special season such as the one that Maryland offers this year from January 19-21 or an extension of turkey season that run until the end of January, just like many deer seasons. Thriving turkey populations around the country make winter turkey seasons possible and hunters need not worry about the health of birds over the winter as they might for whitetail deer. I live in the mountains of Western Maryland that have suffered huge ice and snow storms, sometimes putting an inch of ice over a foot of snow. How could a wild turkey possibly break through that barrier? Answer– they eat energy-packed buds on trees and may stay on the roost for days.
Hunting Strategies
Weather conditions will dictate the best strategies for a January turkey. Obviously, trying to sneak on wild turkeys in crunch snow is impossible and even in soft or powdery snow, your silhouette will be seen from long distances. Early detencion makes scattering a flock difficult. Once birds are spooked, they'll run well ahead of your location and perhaps fly together as a group. Begin as you would in October by scouting for places where turkeys feed and roost. Any type of standing ag crop like corn or soybeans will be an absolute magnet for turkeys and they tend to show up at the same time each day. Remember that wild turkeys are plum stupid about pop-up blinds so that you can put one up at noon and stay relatively warm inside waiting for birds to approach. Also, expect gobblers to still have a chip on their, well, shoulder. If it's safe to display a gobbler decoy, ole Mr. Tom will be quick on its tail. Here's the Realtree.com take on late seasons:
You'll never see more turkeys together than between now and the so-called spring dispersal. Winter flocks are typically big, from dozens to hundreds of birds, young and old.
This time of the year, turkeys will be concentrated near the best food sources: picked-over crop fields, cow pastures and feedlots (they peck at the cow pies), plus hardwood mast in the woods and along creekbeds (where you might have found wood ducks this past fall). You'll even see birds hitting food sources such as soft mast, weather providing.
Entire turkey populations, particularly out West in places like Nebraska and Kansas, may group up and shift home ranges this time of year. You've got to study where they go, day by day.

Greece have enjoyed a thrilling ride of late but could this summer be a final swansong for a generation and not least for reigning EuroBasket Women MVP Evina Maltsi?
Having entertained us all two years ago in Latvia when they were the surprise team of the tournament and booked a first ever place at the FIBA World Championship Women, Greece are on the cusp of a transitional phase as the younger players look to take the lead.
|Evina Maltsi is the heart and soul of the greek team and a lot will depend on whether she has fully recovered from the injuries she suffered this season
This doesn't mean every experienced player is suddenly calling time on their career with the national team, it's more concerned with a new generation coming through to represent Hellas for the next 5-10 years.
After all, it's a decade since Maltsi stepped out alongside the likes of Anastasia Kostaki for example as they became members of the first Greek team to qualify for the last phase of a EuroBasket Women tournament back in 2001.
Kostaki has already faded away from international duty along with a few other players from that era but for nowat least, the irrepressible Maltsi has continued to lead Greece with all her heart.
Indeed one of the most fascinating features of EuroBasket Women 2009 was the sudden explosion of Maltsi. During the first part of the tournament she was stone cold but when everyone packed up and headed to Riga, she didn't just warm up a little, her hot-hand set the tournament alight.
More recently, Malsi has spoken of calling time on her illustrious career after the final buzzer sounds in Poland. Perhaps that is not altogether surprising after an injury-ravaged season which resulted in her watching a lot of games in frustration from the sidelines.
Not that Greece are a one woman team by any means - far from it. Maltsi is the heartbeat and driving force but she will continue to have a strong supporting cast via the likes of Olga Chatzinikolaou, Stella Kaltsidou, Dimitra Kalentzou and Pelagia Papamichail.
These players are all capable performers at the elite level and one of the spin-offs of the success Greece found at EuroBasket Women 2009 was that it saw many players on the roster move to foreign leagues with France as the most common destination.
Consequently the Greek players now have even more knowledge to call upon and after their taste of a first FIBA World Championship Women tournament, they will certainly not be short of experience. Greece had hoped their pool of experience would be even deeper but the Katie Douglas saga looks to have been put to bed and possibly for good.
|Forward Stella Kaltsidou had a great EuroLeague Women season at Bourges, averaging 10.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.4 assists
It's time to look to the future for Coach Missas and that means the likes of Zoi Dimitrakou and Artemis Spanou getting ready to take the reins and expand their roles. Meanwhile it could be that there are further new faces blooded in the form of May Kotsopoulou and perhaps even Stefanie Murphy.
Group D could prove a tough one for Greece if they don't heed the warning that they are only ever a couple of mediocre performances away from not making the second round.
Last Time Out - Greece finished 5th at EuroBasket Women 2009 to grab their surprise and historic spot at the FIBA World Championship Women.
Key Player - While there has been talk of retirement leading into the tournament from Evina Maltsi, she can make life difficult for herself by inspiring Greece at this tournament once again and helping them realize an Olympic Dream -something which would give her a huge dilemma and make it almost impossible to step down before London 2012. A clutch player who loves to have the ball in her hands and especially during crunch time, her influence will be as big as ever and if she is in the mood she will take some stopping. By her own admission, it's been a miserable time both on and off the court in recent months and what better way to get a smile back on her face than to return to a tournament which gave her the best memories of her career?
Sleeper - While in many respects Zoi Dimitrakou could argue she is not really a sleeper with two major tournaments now under her belt, this could be the time when her exciting talent comes to the fore. While she hasn't managed to consistently find her range from downtown yet for the National Team but she is definitely someone who can fully realise her potential at the elite level and who can emerge as a future reference player for Greece as the veteran players fade away in coming years.
X Factor - Defensively, Greece have what it takes to make life tough for anyone. They are a predominantly veteran team who have years of experience and are switched on when it comes to executing at the defensive end. If they can find the energy levels to maintain their ferocious appetite for stops, they can find success. If they drop below the level of defence showed in Latvia and give up too many baskets then their offence might struggle to bridge the gap.
Did you know? - Greece gave up exactly the same number of points at Eurobasket 2009 as Spain. Both had the joint best defences, allowing only 56.7 points per game.
In just five words - End of an era beckons

Chapter 1
Though the foregoing enumeration contains but a selection front the titles of Goethe's best known writings, it suffices to show the extraordinary fertility and versatility of his genius. Rarely has a man of letters had so full and varied a life, or been capable of so many-sided a development. His political and scientific activities, though dwarfed in the eyes of our generation by his artistic production, yet showed the adaptability of his talent in the most diverse directions, and helped to give him that balance of temper and breadth of vision in which he has been surpassed by no genius of the ancient or modern world.
The greatest and most representative expression of Goethe's powers is without doubt to be found in his drama of "Faust"; but before dealing with Goethe's masterpiece, it is worth while to say something of the history of the story on which it is founded--the most famous instance of the old and widespread legend of the man who sold his soul to the devil. The historical Dr. Faust seems to have been a self-called philosopher who traveled about Germany in the first half of the sixteenth century, making money by the practise of magic, fortune-telling, and pretended cures. He died mysteriously about 1540, and a legend soon sprang up that the devil, by whose aid he wrought his wonders, had finally carried him off. In 1587 a life of him appeared, in which are attributed to him many marvelous exploits and in which he is held up as an awful warning against the excessive desire for secular learning and admiration for antique beauty which characterized the humanist movement of the time. In this aspect the Faust legend is an expression of early popular Protestantism, and of its antagonism to the scientific and classical tendencies of the Renaissance.
While a succession of Faust books were appearing in Germany, the original life was translated into English and dramatized by Marlowe. English players brought Marlowe's work back to Germany, where it was copied by German actors, degenerated into spectacular farce, and finally into a puppet show. Through this puppet show Goethe made acquaintance with the legend.
By the time that Goethe was twenty, the Faust legend had fascinated his imagination; for three years before he went to Weimar he had been working on scattered scenes and bits of dialogue; and though he suspended actual composition on it during three distinct periods, it was always to resume, and he closed his labors upon it only with his life. Thus the period of time between his first experiments and the final touches is more than sixty years. During this period the plans for the structure and the signification of the work inevitably underwent profound modifications, and these have naturally affected the unity of the result; but, on the other hand, this long companionship and persistent recurrence to the task from youth to old age have made it in a unique way the record of Goethe's personality in all its richness and diversity.
The drama was given to the public first as a fragment in 1790; then the completed First Part appeared in 1808; and finally the Second Part was published in 1833, the year after the author's death. Writing in "Dichtung und Wahrheit" of the period about 1770, when he was in Strasburg with. Herder, Goethe says, "The significant puppet-play legend . . . echoed and buzzed in many tones within me. I too had drifted about in all knowledge, and early enough had been brought to feel the vanity of it. I too had made all sorts of experiments in life, and had always come back more unsatisfied and more tormented. I was now carrying these things, like many others, about with me and delighting myself with them in lonely hours, but without writing anything down." Without going into the details of the experience which underlies these words, we can see the be ginning of that sympathy with the hero of the old story that was the basis of its fascination and that accounted for Goethe's departure from the traditional catastrophe of Faust's damnation.
Of the elements in. the finished Faust that are derived from the legend a rough idea may be obtained from the "Doctor Faustus" of Marlowe, printed in the present volume. As early as 1674 a life of Faust had contained the incident of the philosopher's falling in love with a servant-girl; but the developed story of Gretchen is Goethe's own. The other elements added to the plot can be noted by a comparison with Marlowe.
It need hardly be said that Goethe's "Faust" does not derive its greatness from its conformity to the traditional standards of what a tragedy should be. He himself was accustomed to refer to it cynically as a monstrosity, and yet he put himself into it as intensely as Dante put himself into "The Divine Comedy." A partial explanation of this apparent contradiction in the author's attitude is to be found in what has been said of its manner of composition. Goethe began it in his romantic youth, and availed himself recklessly of the supernatural elements in the legend, with the disregard of reason and plausibility characteristic of the romantic mood. When he returned to it in the beginning of the new century his artistic standards had changed, and the supernaturalism could now be tolerated only by being made symbolic. Thus he makes the career of Faust as a whole emblematic of the triumph of the persistent striving for the ideal over the temptation to find complete satisfaction in the sense, and prepares the reader for this interpretation by prefixing the "Prologue in Heaven." The elaboration of this symbolic element is responsible for such scenes as the Walpurgis Night and the Intermezzo, scenes full of power and infinitely suggestive, but destructive of the unity of the play as a tragedy of human life. Yet there remains in this First Part even in its final form much that is realistic in the best sense, the carousal in Auerbach's cellar, the portrait of Martha, the Easter-morning walk, the character and fate of Margaret. It is such elements as these that have appealed to the larger reading public and that have naturally been emphasized by performance on the stage, and by virtue of these alone "Faust" may rank as a great drama; but it is the result of Goethe's broodings on the mystery of human life, shadowed forth in the symbolic parts and elaborated with still greater complexity and still more far-reaching suggestiveness--and, it must be added, with deepening obscurity --in the Second Part, that have given the work its place with "Job," with the "Prometheus Bound," with "The Divine Comedy," and with "Hamlet."
