When most people hear the name "Dick Gaines" they automatically think of a great horseman and showman, but he was so much more than that. I took some time and spoke with his closest friends and family. Dick Gaines was a special man in many ways. Dick was a dear friend, father, grandfather and husband.
In 1965, Paul Crumpler was sitting in his living room one evening and there was a knock on the door. The man at the door was Dick Gaines. Paul had never met Dick, but Dick knew that Paul was quite a horseman. He sat down and told Crumpler that he wanted to get into cutting. Paul said that night started a 50 year friendship between him, Gaines, Mike Kelly, Lex Graham and Gaile Boreland. These gentlemen were tight through thick and thin. Paul was quick to tell me that there were "lots of stories, but most can't be told." According to Mr. Crumpler, Dick called him four to five times a week, "and of course he always had something smart to say and I'd just keep the fire going. Heck, I'd make up something and tell him that Lex said it just to get him going." As he laughed, he said he did the same with Lex about Dick. "His daddy was a rancher and Dick was a good rancher. I accused him of getting me in this damn horse racquet. He loaned me the money, you know he was a banker, to buy Quixote and got me hooked." He went on to say that Dick was a good hand and a better man. "We were great friends until he died. He was so brilliant and truly cared about the association, family, friends, and horses. We'd have our little weekly meeting and of course lie to each other, " reminisced Crumpler. "He was the most unique man I've ever met with the driest sense of humor and a personality like no other. He was so highly intelligent, and was good for the horse business and the association." Crumpler went on to describe how Dick Gaines was the brains behind the Super Stakes. He went to visit Dick shortly before he passed and even then Crumpler believed that even through his illness, he was still one of the smartest men he knew. "He was still Dick until a few days before he passed. His sense of humor never left him."
Crumpler went on to talk about Pam, "Dick loved to aggravate people, and especially Pam and she'd fall for it every time. She was such a patient and understanding woman, and she and my wife were best friends, but they had to be 'cause we were always together." Don Crumpler reiterated this sentiment about the two women and about DIck. Don said that Dick was a great father to Tim and Matt and that everyone called him Tricky Dick. He said that it would take a while for Dick to tell a story, but you'd better bet it would be a funny one. He said that with his dry sense of humor Gaines would get you when you least expected it. Don remembered one year it froze over in Augusta and they were traveling home. It took 72 hours to get back home from Augusta, Ga. because of the weather, and he was with Dick and Craig. Don said that was one of the most memorable trips he's ever taken.
Chubby Turner told stories of his humor and ability to lighten the mood in any crowd. Tara Gaines, shared the same feelings about Dick. She said that she knew him before she ever met Matt and that she just loved him. She was honored to be a part of his great family. She has many wonderful memories with Dick and Pam and loves how he loved Pam and the rest of his family.
It seemed that everyone I talked to had the same thing to say. Everyone commented on his sense of humor and his personality, but the one word that each and every person used was "friend". He was a great friend! If you didn't know Dick Gaines, you missed out on a phenomenal human being, and if you did know him then you were blessed by his presence. There were many tears shed during the making of this article, and I only hope that I did him justice in portraying his true character and vibrant personality. Dick Gaines is missed by many on this earth, but we are all certain that he is riding the best and enjoying his friends who went on before him..

A Dauphin County man has been convicted of sex trafficking. Miguel Scott Arnold of Harrisburg was convicted last month in U. S. District Court on numerous charges, including conspiracy to commit sex trafficking by force, fraud, and coercion, and conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute heroin and marijuana. Arnold was part of a sex trafficking operation that exploited over 20 victims, including juveniles. He and his co-conspirators coerced the sex trafficking victims though fraud, physical assault, the deprivation of heroin to addicted victims, and threats of violence. Arnold was remanded to the custody of U.S. Marshals at the request of the U.S. Attorney's Office. He has been incarcerated on state charges since August 2016.
The American Red Cross has issued an urgent call for blood and platelet donors of all blood types to give now and prevent delays in medical care.

The Mayor of Scranton has pled guilty to corruption charges. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania says Scranton Mayor William L. Courtright pled guilty to three felony public corruption offenses on July 2nd. According to a Department of Justice release, Courtright was engaging in a conspiracy with unidentified individuals to take bribes from vendors who did business with the city. The corrupt activities came to light during a multi-year undercover investigation headed by the FBI. The investigation revealed that the former mayor accepted cash payments from vendors in a pay-to-play scheme. Before entering his guilty pleas, Courtright resigned from his position as Mayor.

Deceptive Contiguity. The Polygon in Spatial History
Abstract: The polygon is the most common vector data model used to represent political entities in spatial history and historical GIS. When it comes to visualizing the entangled, complex political geography of pre- modern societies, however, discrete, contiguous features can be a problematic cartographic choice. One example explored in this talk will be the aggressive enserfment of foreign peasants by a German prince in the seventeenth-century. The comparison of an older map of these events with digital maps based on new data shows how polygons can suggest the continuous distribution of phenomena that were really discontinuous. Indeed, in early modern political geography, the polygon often operates as the cartographic equivalent of problematic concepts such as absolutism and sovereignty. This talk will discuss the potential and limitations of different kinds of spatial data models and data available to early modern historians today.

Not your processed dairy free cheese!
Maybe you,like me, would rather skip dairy free cheese and treat your senses to real cheese once in awhile. I feel a lot better about having an occasional real Gouda than a dietary switch to highly processed oily gummy processed vegan cheese comprised of a laboratory list of ingredients. Thats my take on gluten free bread too. However, this delightful dairy free cheese filling in this fresh recipe you can whip up from pine nuts and a few other whole foods. No xantham or guar gums, processed oils or cooking necessary!
Raw twist on Mediterranean Dolmas
Dolmas are a family of stuffed vegetable dishes common in Balkans, the Caucasus, Russia, Central Asia and Middle East. Oftentimes rice comprises the bulk the filling. However, you wont miss the rice due to the full bodied taste and creaminess that happens when summer squash and pine nuts mixed with herbs and garlic melt in your mouth. Fresh orange, mint, soaked fruit and diced sweet onion add top notes of cooling sweet freshness as well as textures that keep your taste buds humming 🙂 This dairy free cheese will linger in your food porn fantasies …
Since grapes grow profusely in the Mediterranean, grape leaves commonly serve as wraps to hold the filling. Where I live in Texas grapeleaves arent as easily found, so I substitute with Dinosaur kale. It works execptionally well. However, any edible flat leaved evegtable will work. Ofcourse olives and olive oil help bring out the Mediterranean quality of this dish. Raw dolmas feel light and refreshing enough as entrees in the heat of summer but can also work as spectacular appetizers in the cooler months. Invite your whole family to the creative process 😀 Have fun watching your dolmas come to life as you sprinkle colorful edible flower petals!
The Recipe
The recipe comes in three parts: soaking, blending + mixing, and wrapping . I highly suggest making the dipping sauce to complement your dish.
bunch of dinasour kale
2 yellow squash
cup of pine nuts
sweet onion
3-4 garlic clove
Habanero pepper(remove seeds for milder flavor)
2-3 lemons
fresh dill, mint and parsley
dry fruit: 1/2 cup
goji/ blueberry, etc
olive oil
sea salt
shredded/flaked coconut
peeled eggplant optional **
pitted olives
Presoak overnight:
kale( optional in salt water)
dry fruit ( water just enough to cover fruit)
coconut flakes
**peeled eggplant soak in balsamic vinegar and sea salt 48 hrs or longer in the fridge
making your dairy free dolmas:
cut the kale lengthwise and cut off the
stem. to soften kale a bit. soak overnight in the fridge in
some salt water drizzle a little bit of olive oil extra virgin and cold press if
you can find it. a more flavorful option is to crush some raw garlic add some sea
salt or Himalayan salt and leave that in an olive oil overnight. add dill now or
reserve it for the dipping sauce you can also optional, peeled eggplant Julienne
and soak in sea salt and balsamic vinegar 24 hours or more. then drain it
well. time for the dairy free pine nut cheese filling. I put half the pine nuts squash juice from one lemon and a couple garlic cloves and then blend to puree consistency in a
food processor. to my puree I will add drained dry fruit sea salt fresh mint
and parsley this is a orange orange or lemon.
dipping sauce:
I blend the following the remaining half of the soaked pine nuts shredded coconut which I soaked overnight the remaining half of the soaked dry fruit couple garlic cloves, Habanero, the juice from one lemon and blend very well.
Now mix dill mint and olive oil into your sauce add some marigold petals or
other edible flowers for decoration.
If you don't want to mess with the sauce you can blend the sauce recipe into the dairy free pine nut cheese filling just make sure not to add too much liquid.
remember to warn your guests to watch out for the
Better yet: go eggroll style: crisp on the outside and warm and flavorful within! The kale will mold around the filling, so take out toothpicks once done. Takes 4-6 hrs depending on temperature. Enjoy while hot!

Charlie (SFA2)
- 1 Introduction
- 2 Move Analysis
- 2.1 Normal Moves
- 2.2 Command Normals
- 2.3 Special Moves
- 2.4 Super Moves
- 2.5 The Basics
- 2.6 Advanced Strategy
- 2.7 Combos
- 2.8 Custom Combos
- 2.9 Match-ups
Charlie has an incredibly good defense and offense. He has alot of good thing going for him and a few bad, so we will start there.
- AA monster, high priority normals for anti-air (s.mp, s.mk, s.hk) as well as lk flash kick which beats anything and his AA cc.
- Great projectile, though its not as good as guile's in other games, not giving frame advantage like guile really, but come out fast and has good speed and trajectory and does allow for combos when thrown from afar.
- C.mk is universal poke with far range and is really annoying
- Easy as hell to CC thru his AAs, and due to him being so solid, alot of people will try jump-in CC.
- Outside c.MK his normals are so-so, f+FP is so slow, and other normals are more for AA.
- ACs arent all that great with them being slow and sometimes missing.
- CC isn't damaging like other characters.
Move Analysis
Normal Moves
Standing Normals
Light Punch
- Just a normal standing lp, nothing too special about this, can AA sometimes and you can s.lp walking pressure on whoever cant duck this.
Medium punch
- A really good anti air, he does a quick uppercut. Cancel this ino a sonic boom to keep up pressure. I usually cancel into a lp boom if I AA with this.
Fierce Punch
- I straight punch that I havent really found much use for.
Light Kick
- A quick kick to the shin, I use this rarely, seems to have decent priority but no range :(.
Medium Kick
- Another great anit air when your opponent jumps in fram afar, such as Sagat jumping in with rh. Can cancel into specials.
High Kick
- Ugly angled kick which is good or anti-air, same uses as s.mk with a little more power behind it.
Crouching Normals
Light Punch
- This is your combo starter. Combo's easily into sonic booms, flash kicks, supers.
Medium Punch
- Limited anti air ability, better to stick with your other choices IMO. Good to cancel into sonic boom for pressure or use in combos. Seems to have ok priority, seems slow to me compared to other characters c.mp's.
Fierce Punch
- Probably top ten useless normals in A2. Looks like Guile's godly c.fp from other games but gets beat by everything. I fucking hate this move.
Light Kick
- I like this normal, cancels easily into booms and supers. Decent range, I like to walk up and poke with this.
Medium Kick
- His best ground all-purpose poke. Great range, speed, hits low, and has great recovery. Quite annoying when playing a Charlie player because this move can very effectively keep you out due to its range. Seems to leave you on even frames, maybe very slight frame advantage.
High Kick
- Eh. This move doesnt really suck but really isnt great. Slow coming out and heavy recovery. I really dont use this at all, unless Someone whiffs a dp, etc from afar.
Fierce Punch
- This move is dope, hella priority, speed, and if done close you get the throw. Best air-to-air period.
Medium Kick
- GREAT range on this jump in and pimp cross up, use to punish fireballers, and dont swing if you think a dp is comin, cc their ass on recovery. great jump-in.
High Kick
- Great jump-in too, good priority and awesome angle.
Command Normals
Jump Sobat
- Back or Forward + MK
- Slow ass overhead which I'm pretty sure leaves you at negative frames. Use at MAX distance to be safe, I usually will do it after a boom.
Step Kick
- Back or Forward + HK
- This is his foward moving hop kick. Good range, but slow in this game. Very useful for moving forward after a sonic boom.
Spin Back Knuckle
- Forward + HP
- This normal is best used as a anti-jump. Good in the corner when doing Sonic Boom pressure, toss it out if you think they will jump and it will hit them.
Dragon Suplex
- Back or Forward + MP or HP
Knee Gatling
- Back or Forward + MK or HK
- Press any button rapidly for more hits
Flying Buster Drop
- (In Air)Back or Forward + MP or HP
Special Moves
Sonic Boom
- Charge Back, Forward + Punch
- The best fireball in terms of release speed and recovery, and a key part of zoning and pressure with Charlie. This is very hard to punish and with good charging techniques you can keep up a while vs. Ryu's. This isn't as good as later games since at point blank it doesn't leave you with much if any frame advantage, but still allows combos from certain ranges.
Somersault Shell
- Charge Down, Up + Kick
- Probably the best AA in the game, easily beating jumps in with the LK version, and easily beating ground moves with MK version.
Super Moves
Sonic Break
- Charge Back, Forward, Back, Forward + Punch
- Press Punch rapidly for more hits
- Very useful super since it seems the first sonic boom comes out no matter what, which means at worst it will trade making it a very reliable AA. As far as chip goes, I would just CC. Good to push opponent back, you can delay booms by spacing the punch input. Good AA, but I would CC instead.
- Press Punch rapidly for more hits
Crossfire Blitz
- Charge Back, Forward, Back, Forward + Kick
- This is the super you want to combo into, decent damage and combos off light attacks at any level, safe on block.
Somersault Justice
- Charge Down-Back, Down-Forward, Down-Back, Up-Forward + Kick
- Better in A3. When comboed you usually miss hits making it weaker to combo into than Blitz after a cross up, but looks better. Unless going for chip or style points, stay away from this super unless comboing from a jump in (Which gets all the hits).
The Basics
Play Style
Charlie can be played aggressively or defensively, 99% of the players you see will be the latter. Though Charlie can be very effecive defensively, a well rounded player will learn how to use both, thus making it harder to adjust to your play style. Some players are mostly offensive (S4v is an example) while some can go hardcore turtle (Me, guilty). But the problem with that is if you can't play him both ways you are bound to run into some problems. So best to try to balance both.
Charge Techniques
This section is important to learn fo any SF game, if you use a charge character. This is quick charging, the most effective way to maximie your charge time. Perform every sonic boom in this way:
charge b-f-b+p
Instead of the normal motion you execute the sonic boom ending in back+punch. This allows you to start harging for the next boom immeadiately after throwing he next one.
Sonic boom, SOMERSAULT!!!
This way of performing a sonic boom allows for the execution of a flash kick about a tenth of a second later after throwing the boom. You can actually flash kick while the boom is on screen. Perform it in this way:
charge b-f-b-db-d-df+lp
So after charging you go foward, back, then roll to down foward+lp. Hit up and kick a tenth of a second later and a flash kick will come out. neat huh?
Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom, *pause* Sonic boom...
Using the quick charge technique explained earlier, this can be very effective versus some characters. As soon as they block a boom throw another one, use different speeds. Just keep booming as fast as possible, you are doing it right if as soon as a Sonic Boom is blocked, one is coming out. this builds meter very quickly and can force your opponent to jump, eating a CC. When they get jump happy, ocassionally pause, if they jump, CC, normal AA, or Flash kick. Rinse repeat.
Patternizing: A no-no
Alot of Charlie players I noticed will patternize a hell of a lot more than with other characters. 80-90% of them will boom after a c.mk. Don't do that shit. Mix up your poke string as well as you can, otherwise you are gonna get countered easily. Ever play someone and kick their ass, but about 3-4 matches down the road you are having a hard time or losing? You are probably doing a lot of patterns they caught on to. Like in the corner, you throw a sonic boom, most people follow up with a c.MK or c.RH. They almost always do. They other options they had were:
- Throw another sonic boom
- nothing, punish jump attempt or cc a dp atempt
- walk up throw
- f+fp to punish jumpers
- Jump-in and start another poke string.
- f+rh to punish mashers
Now the situation is gonna dictate the action, but its better than just c.MK or c.RH. You are just gonna get AC'd. Mix it up.
Counter CC
Now like I mentioned earlier about jump in CC's, Charlie gets that done a lot to him because his solid ground game. If you suspect your opponent plans on this, or patternizes by always doing this, save your CC to counter CC, free damage for you. Some matches I would just sit back and boom and just wait for the CC to counter it.
Advanced Strategy
All these can be done after a cross up MK:
- cr.LP x2, cr.LK xx Sonic Soom
- cr.LP, cr.LK xx MK Flash Kick
- cr.LP x2, cr.LK xx any level Sonic Blitz (or Somersualt Justice)
Custom Combos
Level 1
- cr.HK xx LK Flash Kick, HP Sonic Boom xx HK Flash Kick
- cr.HK xx HK Flash Kick x2
For chip and/or block:
This CC is really good because you can walk behind these unlike other chip ccs. Walk behind these and go for a counter hit, overhead, or throw. Make sure to start out with c.rh, cause if they do get hit they get juggled.
- cr.HK xx lp sonic boom x4
Level 2
cr.HK xx hk flash kick x 3
Level 3
- cr.HK xx LK Flash Kick x3, MK Flash Kick, HK Flash Kick
- cr.HK xx LK Flash Kick, HK Flash Kick x3
Anti-Air Custom Combos
Now these are very important, specifically to punish people who look to jump after a sonic boom, also allow you to walk after a boom and punish hard, since they arent worried about a charged flash kick. Now in most cases they can jump to where if you try to AA you will get beat, mainly wen theyare looking to jump immediately after a boom. That when you hit'em with AA CC.
- s.MP if they are higher up (into any level ground CC)
- cr.LP if they are lower to the ground (into any ground CC)
Now hit them with this a couple times and Im sure they will think twice about jumping

New College Swindon may be best known for its great A Level and Level 3 Vocational results, but today 1,531 learners will be collecting their GCSE and Level 2 qualifications. These are increasingly popular at New College with the number of entries for 2017/18 up by 4.5% on last year.
The College offers a wide range of GCSE subjects to all of its learners; whether they are A-Level or BTEC students trying a new subject or improving their Maths or English grades, adult students taking extra qualifications for interest or to improve their job prospects or learners on the dedicated GCSE programme itself.
73% of entries were in the core subjects of Maths and English, which are critical to CVs, University prospects and job success. Many learners are retaking these subjects to improve their grades. It's still a real struggle for many, but there were 518 grade 9 to 4/A*-C entries, in English and Maths.
Other GCSE subjects, as well as English and Maths also performed well, with 275 entries achieving grade 9 to 4/A*-C, a 18.7% increase from last year. This was achieved across 22 subjects.
The provision for Pre-16 students continues to bloom and grow. There were 188 GCSE entries amongst this cohort. They achieved a 99% pass rate overall and a 100% pass rate in 18 subjects, including: Art And Design: Photography; Biology; Business; Chemistry; Economics; English Literature; Film Studies; French; Geography; History; Media Studies; Music; Physics; Psychology; Religious Studies; Spanish; Sociology and Statistics.
Students also earned a 100% pass rate across nine Level 2 courses, including: L2 Award in Creative Craft (Construction): L2 Award in Creative Craft (Textiles); L2 Certificate in Creative Craft (Media Make-up); L2 Award in Work Skills; L2 Award Improving Exercise; Health and Nutrition, L2 Award in Food Safety in Catering; OCR L2 Cambridge Technical Diploma in Performing Arts and RSL L2 Certificate in Digital Music Production. Pre-16 students also achieved a 98% pass rate across English and Maths GCSEs.
332 of the entries were for 19+ adult students studying GCSE subjects, with an overall pass rate of 99%.
New College Principal Carole Kitching commented: "We are absolutely delighted with today's GCSE results, especially our English and Maths, which continue to go from strength to strength. It's Government policy that students without a grade 4/C in these subjects need to retake and usually FE Colleges don't enter students who previously achieved grades 1,2 or E into GCSEs as it's considered too difficult for them to make the jump to grade 4/C. FE national pass rates at 9-4/A*-C last year were therefore 31.5% for English and 24.8% for Maths. This year, we entered this additional group of students and our pass rates were a fantastic 43.2% in English and 30.7% in Maths; achievements substantially higher than the 2017 national FE rates.
Our learners' successes reflect their hard work and enthusiasm and is a tribute to the teaching and support provided by all staff here. We congratulate all of our students who received GCSE results today and wish them all the very best for the future."

US & World // National News
Biden meets with Sanders
WASHINGTON - The presidential campaign of Democrat Bernie Sanders says the independent senator from Vermont has met with Vice President Joe Biden.
The two men met Thursday for about an hour at Biden's residence, about a week after Biden decided not to get into the 2016 race.
The Sanders campaign says they discussed campaign finance reform, as well as his proposal for free college tuition.
Last week, Biden spoke by phone with Sanders' rival for the Democratic nomination, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

When I was small, my grandparents had a console TV with a framed photo sitting on top – right about eye level to a child. In the photo my grandfather, in uniform, sat astride a huge black horse. I was told he was in the Cavalry in World War I, but I had no idea what that meant.
This November 11 marks the 100th anniversary of the Armistice, the end of the Great War. You'll be seeing more WWI-themed entries in this blog and displays around the library. I wanted to learn more about a war we hardly see in movies or TV – especially compared to World War II with its clear villains and purpose. We – or I should say, I – know embarrassingly little about World War I.
I decided to research a bit, and found Daily Life During World War I by Neil M. Heyman from the fact-filled yet accessible Greenwood Press "Daily Life Through History" Series. I also found a fast-moving, informative documentary called "World War I: American Legacy" (which includes shots of Pittsburgh and the Boulevard of the Allies), available through Kanopy Streaming through our catalog. Of course, many other resources are online and on our shelves. In the meantime, here are some bits that fascinated me.
• What started the war had more to do with rising nationalism and German aggression than just the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand. As they say, "it's complicated."
• The war lasted from 1914 through 1918, but the U.S. didn't become involved until 1917 when German submarines sank the passenger ship Lusitania and attacked British and American merchant ships.
• Due to the large number of German immigrants in America, it was unclear to many Europeans which side the U.S. would join.
• After the U.S. entered the war, teaching German was often banned, German music wasn't played in concerts, and German terms like "sauerkraut" were replaced by terms like "liberty cabbage."
• America, Great Britain, France, Belgium and other countries fighting Germany were and are called the "belligerent nations." (Imagine driving down the Boulevard of the Belligerents!)
• The horrors of trench warfare came not only from shelling but from digging and uncovering bodies and body parts from previous battles.
• Some battles were fought on mud so deep that wounded men drowned before they could be rescued.
• World War I gave us the terms "in the trenches," "over the top" and "shell shock." What we call PTSD was recognized but not entirely accepted as a reason for hospitalization or an excuse from fighting.
• In addition to the Christmas cease fire of 1914, both sides often had unspoken agreements not to fire during soldiers' morning outhouse trips and during mealtimes.
• Food shortages led to food riots in some cities in Europe and in the U.S. Rather than rationing, President Wilson encouraged "meat-free" and "wheat-free" days.
• Machine guns, tanks, submarines and aircraft were all new in WWI. Planes were first used for reconnaissance, and pilots from opposing sides waved to each other; then shook their fists; then as they began to carry weapons, fired on each other. Airmen lived a more glamorous life than trench fighters, but faced even more risk from machine-gun and rifle fire, accidents, and friendly fire.
• Teddy Roosevelt lost a son, Quentin, during the war.
• Germans were among the first to return home after the war, and Americans as the occupying army were among the last.
As I learn more, I think of one historian's comment in the documentary, "The world was different then." Many young men, including my grandfather, volunteered from a sense of duty, a need for adventure beyond their small towns, or a desire to join their friends in service. A generation later, in a more open, confessional age, veterans of WWII were coaxed to tell stories by their children and grandchildren, but my parents certainly didn't ask my grandfather about his experiences, nor would he have told them. What I remember is that photo of him on horseback, staring at the camera, and it haunts me still.

Erica Hayes is, without doubt, one of the coolest people I've ever known. She writes utterly amazing kick-arse urban fantasies (the Shadowfae series is amazing), knows how to dress to blow people away AND is a fellow Novacastrian (that's a resident of Newcastle for those not in the know). You can't get much cooler than that. Actually, you can. Go take a look at her webiste. Just the way she describes herself is cool. I wanna howl at the moon, I really really do.
Just to add to my envy of her coolness, she's written a blog post that not only made me laugh, it introduced me to a website I've become utterly addicted to (warning: when you go there, make sure you have hours to spare. Trust me)
I was browsing though tvtropes.org the other day – if you've never been there, you should – and I came across this entry on the Moral Event Horizon.
(A quick recap, for those who've missed it: tvtropes.org is a site that celebrates tropes in fiction, those common elements that crop up again and again in stories (from movies, books and comics as well as tv) and make them so much fun. Warning: click with caution. You will lose hours of your life. And probably your keyboard, as you snort coffee out through your nose laughing.)
The Moral Event Horizon, otherwise knows as The Line. As in, a character has done something that's crossed The Line – he can't be redeemed from that. That character is no longer heroic, or a 'good guy'. Named after the theoretical boundary of a black hole – once you cross it, you can't escape. Ever.
At tvtropes, the Moral Event Horizon crosses paths with such fabulously-titled concepts as Draco in Leather Pants, which is where we hold on to our favourite characters, defending them vociferously to others long after their behaviour descends into outright villainy. Usually including the phrase "Yeah, but…" followed by protestations about the character's undoubted sex appeal.
As in:
"Eric Northman rips the limbs from innocent people! Right on screen! What a bastard!"
"Yeah, but he looks so hot without his shirt…!"
"Damon Salvatore killed his brother's best friend out of spite? Jesus, he's a real prick."
"Yeah, but he's so cute!"
And also Retconning. Y'know, like the drug in Torchwood? Never mind that pesky continuity, we'll just forget that bad shiz happened and carry on. Eric gets Retconned in season four of True Blood, by losing his memory and 'becoming a different guy'. How effectively depends on your point of view. IMO? His amnesia doesn't change the fact that he did it in the first place. Does it make him any less hot? Mmm…
Anyway. Do I have a point? Sure. It strikes me that in romance fiction, the Moral Event Horizon is more treacherous and easier to cross than in other fiction. There are more things our characters simply shouldn't do, especially the hero. A romance hero can't be selfish, or vengeful, or cruel, at least not without a very good reason. And he certainly can't cheat on the heroine, or be violent towards her. No matter how screwed up he is, and no matter how much he regrets it or tries to make up for it afterwards.
Romance readers just don't want to read that sort of story, and they don't want to read about the kind of heroine who would want a HEA with a guy like that. They're unforgiving of Retconning and refuse to fall for Draco in Leather Pants beyond a brief flirtation. In romance fiction, there's a clear difference between hero and villain. And yes, even when the hero is a dark, tortured, bloodsucking, drug-dealing pimp in an everlasting bad mood. Romance readers are smarter than that. If the dude was irredeemable, they wouldn't love him.
And that's one major difference between paranormal romance and urban fantasy, at least for me: the way we deal with redemption. In fantasy, pretty much everything is treated as redeemable, at least to the point where the 'good guys' can deal with a fallen character, if not accept him/her as a friend. The Moral Event Horizon is still there, but there are worse things than crossing it. The good guys will Retcon the bad guy if necessary, and join up with him to defeat a greater evil. And as for Draco In Leather Pants… hell, yes. Shagging the evil dude is a standard device, used to make the heroine (usually) think about the Darkness Within Her, and How Far She's Prepared To Go.
Still, it'd be a brave UF author who'd have the heroine herself cross the Moral Event Horizon – Ethical, yes, but not Moral – or have the heroine and the irredeemably bad guy declare eternal love and then have it work out happily in the end. In UF, right and wrong might be blurred – but good and evil are not.
Unless, of course, it's a total downer of an ending. And who wants that?
So what counts as irredeemable for you? Do you have a once-favourite character who crossed the line? Or are you still steadfast in their defence, no matter what?
You can find out more about Erica here at HERE site. And trust me, you have to have to have to read Shadowfae. Like, have to!

Barebacks ride home with the Broadstreet trophy
Bareback Riders secured their second Belief NTS title of the season at Broadstreet RFC this weekend.
In a tight Cup final BBR saw off London Scorpions in a battle between the two teams who have dominated the Belief NTS so far in 2017.
Top-class skill and end-to-end action entertained the other teams who had stayed on after their own competitions had finished at the Ivor Preece Centre on the outskirts of Coventry, and while rain brought an early end to the day's cricket a few miles up the road in Birmingham it stayed away from the lower end of the M6 until after the Touch tournaments had finished.
Bareback Riders also swept the board with the day's individual awards, too, Joe Kruger and Alison Hogg adding to their wardrobes with MVP 17 t-shirts.
BBR and London Scorpions were joined in the semi-finals by Cambridge Hornets and Wigan Touch Warriors, the quartet consolidating their places in the 2017 Belief NTS table with another successful tournament.
Elsewhere in the Belief NTS Nottingham Hoods beat London Galaxy to take home the Plate, Manchester Chargers overcame Bristol Fijians in the Bowl final, and Thames Valley Vikings saw off CSSC Shadows to lift the Shield.
The Belief NTS may be settling down into a familiar pattern, but in the SPORTTAPE CTS it was a different story, Bournemouth Titans becoming the third different team to win the Cup, beating Green and Gold in the final.
Nottingham Mavericks emulated their Belief NTS counterparts by lifting the Plate, with Thames Valley Vikings and Northampton COYS earning themselves the Bowl and Shield trophies respectively.
Bournemouth and Green and Gold also shared the MVP awards, Brett Milligan (Green and Gold) and Cathi Farrer (Bournemouth) earning themselves some SPORTTAPE goodies.
Most Valuable Referee was Jack Hawken.
The Belief NTS and SPORTTAPE CTS now take a brief hiatus until late July while attention turns to the European Senior Championships and Premiership Permit competitions.

Di Matteo's Upgrade
Roberto Di Matteo is finally Chelsea's "permanent" manager
On Wednesday, Chelsea announced they are upgrading Roberto Di Matteo from "caretaker" manager to full-blown regular manager. He has apparently signed a two-year contract, which is three months in Abramovich years. Just kidding, Romovich. Just a little sacking humor.
Actually, Di Matteo's hiring shows some good common sense from the Chelsea brass. Sure, he's not on the big-time fancy manager short list (at least not yet anyway). But why on earth wouldn't you give an extension to the guy who was at the helm for an F.A. Cup title and the club's first Champions League title – all in his first few months on the job? It only seems fair that he would get the chance to manage Chelsea for a full season. Chelsea has chosen wisely.
Di Matteo proved adept at getting Chelsea ready for big matches and guiding them in sticking with the game plan. I wish I knew exactly what he did so differently from Andre Villas-Boas behind the scenes, but whatever it was it worked. Di Matteo apparently has great rapport with the Blues squad. It takes time to develop trust and quality relationships between coach and players, so why bust up something that works?
In the excellent (and recently revised/updated) book Soccernomics, the authors statistically show that, generally speaking, the amount players are paid has more bearing on a team's success than who manages the team. So if you have a manager the players trust, who is strategically competent, and a good ambassador for the club, you might as well stick with him. Save the big bucks for your players rather than blowing it on a ritzy-name manager.
The challenge for Di Matteo next season will be incorporating new players and building for the future, while still satisfying the fans' (and owner's) hunger to win. Another potential challenge will be maintaining the team's drive after already winning the biggest club prize in world soccer. But as anyone who followed Chelsea last season knows, despite winning the Champions League, there is plenty of room for improvement!
What do you think of Di Matteo's appointment as Chelsea manager?
Champions League Final Thoughts
Chelsea finishes season as European Champions
I'm still shaking my head about Chelsea winning the Champions League. It's not that I didn't believe they could do it, after all, once they made it past Barcelona anything was possible. But Chelsea was so wildly inconsistent this season, it was impossible to predict how the team would fare on the hostile home turf of Bayern Munich.
The final was only slightly less of a nail-biter than the Barcelona semifinals. I was nervous at the opening whistle when Chelsea's lineup and configuration immediately indicated they were going to sit back and play defense. I was hoping they'd take the fight to Bayern a little more, but that Roberto Di Matteo knows his way around the tactical board. His plan worked!
Defensively, I was uncertain how Cahill and Luiz would hold up after missing so many weeks with hamstring injuries but they did very well. Particularly pleasing was Luiz's self-control – he didn't make the kind of unwise challenges he's been prone to before in big games. And what about Ashley Cole? Talk about an unsung hero for Chelsea this season! That guy apparently wanted him some of that big-eared trophy badly because he patrolled the Chelsea box like a Doberman.
The pundits were unfair to Chelsea before, during, and after the final. They seemed disappointed that the supposedly inferior team was hanging in so well against Bayern. It couldn't be that Chelsea was putting up a scrappy, unified team effort according to the pundits, Chelsea was just incredibly lucky. Sure, Bayern had almost all the scoring chances, but they didn't take advantage of them. Pundits have been driven crazy by this Chelsea team that was so poor in the Premier League and yet won the biggest club prize in the world. The attitude seems to be that Chelsea didn't deserve to win because of their domestic play, so they stole the title by way of dumb luck. Here's the deal pundits: Chelsea's victory demonstrates what makes knock-out competitions so fun for fans – that you can have a struggling team that may not be as strong on paper, but manages to pull themselves together when the games really matter and end up winning it all. It may irk the experts to hear it, but Chelsea is the best team in Europe because they won the tournament.
I was certain Chelsea was defeated when Bayern scored with less than ten minutes to play. Drogba's header goal just a few minutes later was so shocking in its suddenness and skillfulness that I laughed out loud. Then I thought the nail in the coffin for Chelsea was the penalty kick awarded after Drogba felled Ribery in the box. But no, Petr Cech snuffed out Robben's shot. Amazing.
I next thought Chelsea were goners in the shootout – first when they lost the toss and had to shoot second, then especially when Mata's first shot was blocked by the Hulk, I mean Neuer. Bayern was already up by two when Luiz stepped up as Chelsea's second shooter. He backed up for the longest running start in the history of shootouts (I can't actually verify that as fact) which I was sure would put the ball somewhere in the Bavarian countryside. Instead he practically blasted a hole in the back of the old onion bag.
Lampard, the most reliable PK taker on earth (I can't verify that either) stepped up next and scored to make it Chelsea 2 – Bayern 3. Hope was still alive. Time for some Cech heroics next, as Petr batted away Olic's shot. Now things were interesting. Ashley Cole tied things up in what looked like relaxed fashion. Schweinsteiger's stuttered approach to his shot seemed uncertain and the result proved it as the ball dinged off the post. Now it was all up to Chelsea's final kicker: Drogba. He set the ball down, adjusted his socks, and tucked the ball into the left corner of the goal, making Chelsea European Champions for the first time.
Chelsea tried the patience of even the most fervent Blues fans this season. Chelsea's roller coaster season demonstrates why people follow teams and watch sports, because every once in a while you get to be part (even if it's a tiny part and from a distance) of something inspiring and great.
Plus, it sure is fun.
Any thoughts on Chelsea's championship season? Feel free to share below…

1. They open it immediately. It's important. It's urgent. It's interesting. Something about it gets their attention immediately and they open it at once.
2. Or, they put it in the stack to read nights and weekends. It's interesting but it's not important. It can wait. And how many of us are caught up with our night and weekend reading stack?
or 3. They route it to somebody else. They circulate it to another. They pass it on. It's not for them - it's for somebody else. And this happens both at home as well as in the office.
4. They round file it. They toss it. They trash it. The waste basket. The bin. They throw it away.
And, what's most interesting is that one of these 4 actions: to read it, or stack it, or route it, or toss it takes place in just 2 or 3 seconds per piece of mail.
What does this say to you? It says your Admail better be good ... it better be interesting!

I am just under 20 hours into my play through of the extremely addictive and expansively varied world of Skyrim, and despite the lack of time I've found necessary to really puncture these enchanting lands with any meaningful incentive, there are a few defining points that I have discovered, 1: That no matter how intricate or lazy I am when creating a distinct character, I'm still unable to devise one that doesn't look horribly disfigured. 2: Dragons are both intimidating and terrifyingly deadly, and thirdly, I make a great, evil good guy. There are very few titles, let alone RPG's, that allow a player to murderously savage innocents and lets you get away with it, almost.
From the very beginning of my journey I had honestly intended to do the honourable thing as I traverse these vibrant and turbulent lands, trying to make a positive impact on the world, helping people with their problems, like a medieval Oprah. But very early on it became blindingly apparent that my good deeds would be completely misinterpreted. I've already slain a copious amount of thieves, wolves, bears and witches, each deserving of their own punishments, but I'm finding more and more as I progress that anyone is fair game. I've stolen horses, broken into houses and killed the inhabitants before stealing their possessions (all in the name of side quests you understand), without sounding too magnanimous though, I'm beginning to feel as though I'm untouchable. I'm sure that at some stage during my adventure my heinous acts of violence will catch up with me and will spend a considerable amount of time locked in some grotty jail cell, but until then, I will persist in my initial goal of trying to be a good Samaritan (or Nord) wherever I can, but I fear my ever-increasing blood lust will continue to prevent me from achieving my noble ambitions, I havent even joined the darkbrotherhood…..yet!
How has your experience been with Skyrim? Has your journey differed from my murderous rampage? Let me know your thoughts. Cheers.

Texas producer Bird Peterson recently remixed Daft Punk's "Doin' It Right," and he made it sound like the beginning of an epic sci-fi movie. This time around, he got his hands on Disclosure's Settle track "Second Chance," and it makes you feel like you're in outer space. What's the chance this is Peterson's bedroom?
Jokes aside, the DJ takes the original track and adds a heavy dose of celestial synth, almost rendering the song unrecognizable. In a good way.
Hear more of Bird Peterson's remixes, including a trappy version of Kendrick Lamar's "Swimming Pools," on Soundcloud.

I thought it couldn't get any worse for my dude Kanye after dropping that horrible Love Lockdown crap just yesterday. Does hitting rock bottom musically have any effect on an artist's mindstate? Methinks so.
I present Exhibit A:This pic was taken on MONDAY!!!
Exhibit B:
Video of Kanye smashing a $10K camera in a crowded LAX airport terminal. "There ain't no police"
(AP) — Police say they have arrested Kanye West at Los Angeles International Airport on suspicion of vandalism after an altercation with a photographer.
An airport spokesman says police also arrested West's bodyguard shortly before 8 a.m. on Thursday.
Airport spokesman Marshall Lowe says early reports are that West got into an altercation with a commercial photographer and a camera valued at more than $10,000 was broken.
The incident happened before West and his bodyguard, who was not identified, went into a security checkpoint at the airport.
Lowe says police are continuing to interview witnesses and West may be booked later this morning.
A call to West's publicist in New York was not immediately returned.
And of course, Exhibit C:
Love Lockdown
DJ LIL TIGER starts things off with a love-themed Soul set with splashes of classic disco and contemporary R&B. EMPANADAMN holds it down in the second half with a mesh of synthy dance, pop, Hip-Hop and electro.

If you thought that 40s were the new 20s, things are only set to get better in your 50s. With your years on the corporate hamster wheel behind you, it's time to sit back and enjoy your well-deserved view from the top—in a peplum suit, preferably.
Take a quick pick of the most influential women in their 50s and you'll find fashion rules being constantly rewritten, even as they shatter the glass ceiling. The result? Your post-40s wardrobe isn't resigned to stiffly starched saris and no-nonsense updos. If you haven't already made space in your closet for Western silhouettes, allow us to make a case for all the non-boring styles that'll have you redefining the term age-appropriate.
Starry inspiration If you're looking for pointers, Bollywood's most stylish 50-somethings are only too glad to lead the way. Madhuri Dixit Nene can rock an embellished sari just as easily as she can work a structured pantsuit. Not one to shy away from voluminous silhouettes, she made heads turn in a ball gown with metallic accents by Rajat Tangri at Manish Malhotra's grand 50th bash. Her off-duty wardrobe features full-skirted palazzo pants, jumpsuits and relaxed separates, all topped off with pencil heels. Sridevi, meanwhile, completes the glam squad that is her family with edgy asymmetrical shirts, power blazers, belted tunics and, when the occasion calls for it, pantsuits with cutouts. Ever the bomber fiend, her airport wardrobe is dominated by boxy jackets in vibrant hues of scarlet and aqua blue. Did someone say cool mom on the block?
What you should be doing For starters, keeping an eye on the trend charts and making note of whatever strikes your fancy. Love that deconstructed shirt you spotted on the runway? Throw on a pair of sharply tailored pants, and you're ready to make a statement at work. Casual brunch on the calendar? Bring your fashion A-game in a fitted jumpsuit with dramatic sleeves. Don't let your age dictate what trends to make your own; play Russian roulette instead between on-trend pieces and the wardrobe basics you already own to curate a look that's unique.
When in doubt about what works, play with proportions as a failsafe copout. If you've been looking to get in on the oversized game, pair a basic workwear shirt with wide-legged pants, and you're good to go. Now is the time to put to use all those investment purchases you've amassed over the years to create a balanced the look that speaks equal parts chic and experimental.
What you need to beware of While it's easy to fall for the dress-younger-to-look-younger mantra, take heed. The key here is to be at ease with what you're wearing, and the rest will follow. If you've always hated neon colours, a top-to-toe acid pink pantsuit won't do you any favours now. Stick to the colours and cuts you feel your best in, while slowly working to challenge the boundaries of your comfort zone. Likewise, be honest with yourself and let go of what doesn't work for you anymore. If those leather pants you wore all the time in your 40s are cutting off your circulation now, let them go and find yourself an on-trend faux leather substitute that won't need to be physically prised off your skin when you get back home at night.
What you need to invest in Looking for a cheatsheet? We've already done all the legwork for you with our edit of all the conversation-starters available on the racks right now.

Reference to two South African examples Essay
In at least one point in the day, every-one finds themselves tuned into one broadcast station or another, be it radio or television Be it for entertainment, relaxation, to be informed or merely a means of escapism. For whichever reasons it is, radio and television play an active role in our everyday life whether we are aware of it or not. Using South African examples, this assignment seeks to discuss two radio and two television genres. It is virtually impossible to discuss the issue genre before defining this term. Both the Oxford dictionary as well as Creeber (2001), defines ââ¬Ëgenreââ¬â¢ as ââ¬Å"typeâ⬠or ââ¬Å"kindâ⬠. Genres allow for the types or kinds of things to be categorised. For example in radio broadcasting, there are various different programs aired, such as talk shows, music shows, news broadcasts, drama shows and so on. Each of these shows are categorised into a particular genre based on their characteristics. The two radio genres that will be discussed are talk shows and music shows. The phenomenon of genre is not exclusive to radio and television alone. In fact according to Greeber, ââ¬Å"it [genre] has played an important role in the study of literature, theatre, film, television and other art and media formsâ⬠(Creeber, G: 2001 pg. 1). Radio-Talk Genre Radio stations like ââ¬ËSAFMââ¬â¢ and ââ¬Ë702ââ¬â¢ are almost entirely dedicated to the genre of ââ¬Ëtalk showââ¬â¢ however almost every radio station incorporates this genre if not at least for a few minutes. The success of talk shows lie in participation by the audience. The audience is urged to call into the radio station and either view their opinion on the topic of discussion or pose questions to either an officiator or a panel. On ââ¬ËSAFMââ¬â¢ for example, there was a program entitled ââ¬Å"The Life and Times of Dr. Bayers Nordeaâ⬠. The show was as the title implies, discussing and talking about Dr. Nordeasââ¬â¢ life. The show hosted family, colleagues and friends, who spoke about his life. Listeners also got the opportunity to add their comments, thoughts, as well as pose questions to the panel. The show was also officiated by the host or disk jockey (D. J) of the show, who not only directed most of the discussion, but also made sure that the show, ran smoothly. The nature of talk shows is such that the audience phones in either agreeing or disagreeing to the topic or question being discussed. This opens the door for others to voice their opinions. According to Barnard (2000), ââ¬Å"phone-in â⬠¦encourages a free flow of opinion and conversation within the safety of an artificially created communityâ⬠(Barnard, S: 2000). With out this element, the talk show would be deemed unsuccessful. Talk shows do not follow a particular protocol, meaning that any topic can be addressed. The mere action of a D. J. posing a question relating to any topic and receiving feedback from the audience constitutes the genre of talk show to be exercised. As any topic makes way for talk shows, it is common to find small inserts of talk show, even within a primarily music radio station. Highfeld Stereo is an example of a South African music radio station. It is common to find a situation where a D. J. poses a question and opens the lines to receive feedback. The D. J is thus officiating a talk show, within a music show. Listeners of talk shows however, are required to concentrate on the discussion if they are to understand what is being discussed, thus ones attention cannot divert from one thing to another. For example, one cannot talk to a friend on the phone, as well as remain focused on the discussion. Radio-Music Genre. Although there is audience participation in the music genre, it differs from that of the talk genre. Regarding music radio, the audience is urged to call in to send dedications to friends or loved ones, choose songs they wish to hear, or vote for their favourite song rather than voice their opinions on a matter. Music as a genre is not so clear-cut like talk shows. Within the music genres, there are sub-genres, where by music is categorised according to style. Rock, rave, hip-hop and pop would all be examples of sub-genres of the music genre. The music genre requires less attention from the listener to be focused on the show. Namely, the listener can do various other activities without loosing out on the entertainment. For example, while driving a car and focusing on the road, or while working at ones desk, one can continue to listen to his or her favourite song and not be side tracked. Unlike the talk genre where if one was driving a car and focusing on the road they would more than likely loose track of what was being discussed-alternatively, they would possibly have an accident. As the genre implies, the emphasis in music shows is in fact music. Therefore it is common to find very little talking by the D. J. and more music being played. The show usually consists of popular songs in the specific sub-genre being aired. This genre also usually has a top 40 show, where the 40 most popular songs are aired. This is commonly known as ââ¬Å"contempory hit radioâ⬠(Tomaselli/de Villiers: 1998). 5FM radio station for example has the ââ¬ËCoca-Cola Top 40ââ¬â¢ music show which is aired every Sunday morning from 10:00- 14:00. Other radio stations like ââ¬ËEast Coast Radio host the ââ¬ËTop 10 at 10ââ¬â¢ show, which airs the 10 most popular songs every Tuesday night at 22:00. These songs which make it onto the ââ¬Ëtop 10ââ¬â¢ or ââ¬Ëtop 40ââ¬â¢ lists, are songs which have been voted for by the public. Jacaranda FM in contrast to the mainstream radio stations of say 5FM for example would air music of a different sub-genre, however one would still find the most popular tracks of that specific sub-genre being aired, as well as ââ¬Ëtop 10ââ¬â¢ shows occurring. In the music genre, the D. Js primary job is to play music and possible talk a little bit about the artist of the track, rather than being an officiator or a mediator of discussion, as is found in talk radio. Television-Documentary Genre. As the term documentary implies, these shows are usually fact based and require research to be done on the particular topic being showed. Events are documented by a team of researchers and aired to the public. An example of a documentary would be found in the SABC 2 show ââ¬Å"50/50â⬠. This is a documentary program that focuses on various aspects of the wild life. Documentaries however could focus on a variety of topics, including an event, person or idea. As the emphasis of documentaries is on information, enlightenment and facts, viewers usually watch documentaries as a means of being informed, rather than being entertained. The nature of documentaries is such that each episode is fully formed and has a definite conclusion ââ¬â even if left as an enquiry for the viewer to think about what they have just viewed. This allows the viewer to evaluate their knowledge of the topic against that of the show. Documentaries are also not usually serial form, as would be the case in a sitcom for example. Rather, they tend to be self-contained episodes with definite endings. Documentaries usually also adopt a narrative structure & psychological relationship of the viewers to the program. The viewer is often addressed directly, in order ââ¬Å"to persuade the actual person watching at home that he or she is the ââ¬Å"youâ⬠to whom the addresser is speakingâ⬠(Allen,C: 1992 pg. 118). This also keeps the viewer interested in the show as well making them feel as if they actively involved in what is going on. Due to the fact that documentaries are not entertainment focused and are rather a means of transferring information, events, people or animals being documented are portrayed as realistically as possible. Animals, which are filmed in the ââ¬Å"50/50â⬠program, for example are filmed in their natural environments, rather than in zoos, in order to give the viewer the most realistic experience. As they are based on real occurrences, documentaries, unlike entertainment programmes such as sitcoms, do not focus as much on a specific plot. Television-Soap Opera As soap operas were originally targeted at the female audience (Brown, M: 1994), it is not surprising to find that many of the central characters within this genre are women. More importantly, they are strong, powerful and influential characters, rather than the stereotype housewife women. SABC 3 airs the soap opera ââ¬Å"Isidingoâ⬠. Charel de Villiers and Leigh Haynes are two examples of strong, powerful and ambitious characters that play central roles in the show. It is important for these kinds of characters to exist, in order for the audience to which the show is targeted at to be able to relate. ââ¬Å"They [women] recognise some of there own identity in this product created by the mediaâ⬠(Brown, M: 1994). People watch soap operas for a number of reasons. The fact that they are entertaining, allows the viewer to unwind, relax or escape from the stresses from every day life, for the duration of the show, as the audience get lost in the reality of the program (Anderson, M: 2004). Viewers could also be using the decision-making techniques and outcomes of the soap opera to ââ¬Å"work throughâ⬠their own issues (Anderson, M: 2004). ââ¬Å"Isidingoâ⬠is an example of a program that deals with AIDS-an issue that the whole of South Africa is facing; it also provides solutions in the form of Nandipe-a married women infected with HIV. Her positive attitude allows her to live a productive life. Viewers may see Nandipe as a role model. Those viewers infected with HIV may in fact even echo her actions in order to try and increase productivity in their own lives. Characters in soap operas are usually found in the form of ââ¬Å"multiple charactersâ⬠(Brown, M: 1994) meaning that characters emphasize the group over the individual (Brown, M: 1994 pg 53), thus many people can relate to one specific character. This also makes way for viewers to find similarities between themselves and various other characters rather than one particular character. Brown believes that rather than relating to characters in soap operas, viewers ââ¬Å"implicateâ⬠themselves to various characters, meaning that the viewer will see similarities between a particular character, or even characters, but when the character acts in a way that the viewer does not agree with, or feel comfortable with, the viewer will distance him or herself from the character (Brown, M: 1994). Soap operas adopt a visualization style, which gets the viewer to focus and identify with a specific character (Brown, M: 1994 pg. 53). On a radio talk show for example, a TV viewer called in with the opinion that the ââ¬Å"Isidingoâ⬠villianess, Cherel de Villiers should be punished, as if the viewer could not differentiate between reality & fiction. (Anderson, M: 2004). Apparently actors who play villainous characters are shunned offset by the public (Anderson, M: 2004). It is not only the relatable characters and entertaining style of soap operas that keep the audience hooked. It is also the continuous open-ended nature of episodes, set in the present and containing a number of alternating story lines which gives the audience sense of continuous pleasure (Brown, M: 1994, pg. 58). The fact that soap operas resists narrative closure, meaning that the story is continuous and never ending, means there is always hope for the future (Anderson, M: 2004). Thus viewers will continue to watch future episodes in order to come closer to seeing what will happen at the end (which never really comes). ââ¬Å"John Davies (1984)â⬠¦ suggests about soap opera viewers that once ââ¬Ëhookedââ¬â¢, they vacillate between their need to know, or the pleasure of anticipationâ⬠that keeps viewers watching (Brown, M: 1994). In discussing two radio and two television genres with reference to two South African examples, it is evident that the complexities and intricacies of various broadcasts and genres are not as simple as one would imagine. As seen above, various genres and broadcasts draw in different audiences, and evoke various different responses in the viewer or listener. As technology continues to move forward, where will these broadcasts find themselves in the future? For now though, radio and television will continue to play an active part in almost all of our lives. BIBLIOGRAPHY Allen, Robert C. 1992. Televisions modes of address & the social context of T.
