One man's meteoric rise as a spiritual leader leads to his fall from grace. That's the familiar story behind Sinclair Lewis' classic - and controversial - novel "Elmer Gantry."
The book eventually became an Oscar-winning film starring Burt Lancaster, and in recent years, "Elmer Gantry" has found a new pulpit within American opera houses. The University of Houston Edythe Bates Old Moores Opera Center will host the city premiere of this contemporary hit and is the country's first university opera company to produce it.
Performances of "Elmer Gantry" are 7:30 p.m., April 9 - 10 and 12, and 2 p.m., April 11 in UH's Moores Opera House (Entrance 16 off of Cullen Boulevard). Tickets are $15 and $10 for students and seniors. To purchase tickets, contact the Moores box office at 713-743-3313.
"This opera has a very cinematic feel to it," said Buck Ross, director of the Moores Opera Center. "Audiences will feel as if they've stepped into a movie."
With music by Robert Aldridge and libretto by Herschel Garfein, "Elmer Gantry" follows the title character's evolution from a smooth-talking drifter into an influential - yet crooked - evangelist. While Gantry uses fire and brimstone tactics to tame his flock, he is not without a host of personal demons.
"The story takes a hard look at those who use religion for their own personal gain," Ross said.
Baritones Gabriel Preisser and Alan Koziol alternately perform the role of Gantry. Taking turns as Gantry's leading lady Sister Sharon Falconer are mezzo-sopranos Ashly Evans and Elyse Mendelson.
In addition to the powerful voices of the lead performers, "Elmer Gantry" also will be a showcase for rousing revival numbers and gospel choruses.
Nashville Opera premiered "Elmer Gantry" in 2007 to rave reviews, and it continues to leave its mark as a masterpiece of musical theater.

Vincenzo Nibali, a 29-year-old Sicilian who calls himself ''a flag-bearer of anti-doping,'' won the Tour de France on Sunday, the first Italian to do so in 16 years.
Nibali won four stages - a feat not equaled by a Tour winner since Lance Armstrong won five a decade ago. The Italian wore the yellow jersey for all but two stages since Stage 1. His 7 minute, 37 second margin over runner-up Jean-Christophe Peraud equals that of Armstrong over Swiss rider Alex Zulle in 1999 - a result nullified for doping.
The last Italian to win the Tour was Marco Pantani in 1998.
Here are some images of Nibaldi's journey to the Tour de France victory.

This is the second time a Lipscomb program has received votes in a national top 25 poll. The Lady Bisons basketball team received one vote for two weeks in a row in the NCAA Poll in January 2005.
In the Ultimate College Softball web site's poll the Lady Bisons received 41 points. Hofstra, which had 47 points, filled the 25th position in the poll. Kentucky, one of the teams the Lady Bisons beat last weekend in the Frost Classic in Chattanooga, Tenn., is ranked 22nd. Selected coaches vote on this poll.
In the National Fastpitch Coaches Association poll the Lady Bisons received one vote for the top 25.
"It means a tremendous amount from where we started five years ago until now," Lady Bison coach Kristin Ryman said. "It means a tremendous amount to the way we have recruited and the hard work our girls have put it in. And we don't want to stop now.
"We are not a program that has been around forever. It feels good to be where we are right now. But we see a bigger picture of what we would like to do this season."
Being recognized nationally is what every program wants. Ryman knows that such exposure is priceless.
"Lipscomb has been fighting for several years in all of the sports to be more nationally recognized," Ryman said. "We are very capable of doing it in multiple sports. It is good to see us break through."
The ESPN.com/USA Softball poll added Kentucky at No. 23. It was their first time to be included. The Lady Bisons did not receive any votes in this poll.
"Every poll is slightly different," Ryman said. "The better a team like Kentucky does after we have beaten them the better it is for us."
Ryman thinks that this type of recognition should be something that the current roster and all of the players, dating back to the NAIA days, can share in and celebrate.
"I think it is great for our school and our program," Ryman said. "It should speak volumes to the girls on the team now and players going all the way to the NAIA. I was one of those NAIA players.
"I remember going through the transition from NAIA to NCAA. We thought we had good players, but we were wondering if we were ever going to get over that hump and become the program that we thought we could become."
Lady Bisons hosting first tournament
The Lady Bisons are hosting their first ever tournament, the Lady Bisons Classic, at Draper Diamond this weekend. They will play Murray State at 4 p.m. Friday. On Saturday they face Eastern Kentucky at 2:30 and Murray State again at 4:45. They close out the tournament Sunday at 2:30 against Evansville.
Murray State is in its first season of collegiate softball. The Lady Bisons have never played Evansville in softball.
Murray State earned the program's first win ever Wednesday in the second game of a doubleheader with Evansville. Murray State, 1-6, won the game 6-2.
Evansville is 2-4 heading into the tournament. Eastern Kentucky is 0-9.
"We are excited about hosting our first tournament," Ryman said. "We have tried to take all of the things we have liked about other tournaments and to use them in our tournament.
"We want the teams to have a great experience and want to come back. We also want other teams to hear about our tournament and want to play here."
Lady Bisons lead A-Sun
The Lady Bisons are led offensively by first baseman Kellie Sirus. She leads the Atlantic Sun in hitting (.526), slugging percentage (1.026), on base percentage (.568), total bases (39, 3.00 per game), runs batted in (16), hits (20) and runs scored (17). She is tied for first in home runs with four.
Shortstop Courtney Billington leads the conference in doubles with seven.
Lipscomb pitcher Whitney Kiihnl leads the conference with a 0.18 earned run average and a 0.66 opponent's batting average. She is also the leader in strikeouts with 85, 15.51 per game, in 49.1 innings. She leads the conference in wins with eight and shutouts with three. She has not lost a game this season.
The Lady Bisons lead the conference in with a .355 batting average and a 1.29 team ERA.

Insidious (US - BD RA)
Gabe startles at the spooky noises and creepy images of James Wan's latest...
Since the wide theatrical release of the original Saw director James Wan and writer by Leigh Whannell have been sitting on the fence of mediocrity, threatening to fall off into something genuinely great at any minute. Saw isn't exactly the best film (on some levels it's downright terrible), but the concept is clever, and Wan showed huge promise as a stylist. There aren't many filmmakers that come out of the gate with so much heat ( Saw became a massive money maker), and unfortunately even fewer that can live up to early expectations (just ask Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez), so all horror fan eyes sat with anticipation on this young duo. Whilst paying the rent producing increasingly popular Saw sequels Wan and Whannell made Dead Silence, which in opposition to the Saw based expectations featured little gore, and utilized abstract colour, rather than grim, practically monochromatic photography. It was a different take on a similar formula (urban legend, puppets, cop thriller, ironic punishment), and in many ways the more accomplished movie. Unsurprisingly it was not well received, and made very little money. Wan broke the partnership briefly the same year to direct the Kevin Bacon revenge flick Death Sentence (a sort of sequel/remake of Death Wish, based loosely on Brian Garfield's novel), which was better received, but an even bigger box office disappointment. A few years later Whannell and Wan regrouped with another shot at a goreless, low-key supernatural thriller, this time with an even smaller budget ($1.5 million instead of $20 million), and even more to prove.
Insidious (a name I cannot claim as anything but dumb) follows Renai and Josh Lambert (Rose Byrne and Patrick Wilson), a pretty young couple who move into their dream house with their family, including adorable son Dalton (Ty Simpkins), and two other kids no one cares about. Shortly thereafter Dalton is injured in a fall, and lapses into a coma. Renai and Josh's marriage shows signs of strain under the pressure of a comatose child, and threatens to fall apart when strange events convince Renai the new home is haunted. Josh does the right thing and moves his family to a slightly less amazing dream house, but the ghostly events don't stop, and the couple is forced to employ the advice of experts.
Wan creates a tense atmosphere mixing the very modern hyperrealist styles with classic spook film motifs, much like he did with [/I]Dead Silence[/I]. Insidious isn't entirely comparable to mockumentary/found footage horror films, but deals in some of the same cinema verite cinematography, especially during the less stylized first two thirds of the film. For the young, punk-haired director behind the hyperactive, gory visuals of Saw, I am consistently taken aback with his subtle and still compositions – simple set-ups that tell entire stories without dialogue, and minimal camera movement. The last act is more in line with what I expect out of Wan, especially given his lighting choices on Dead Silence (I have not actually seen Death Sentence, so I can't really compare its visual choices here). This section is pretty impressive, but the further Wan wanders into Sam Raimi territory, the goofier, and unintentionally funny the visuals become. Films like Evil Dead and Drag Me To Hell work so beautifully because they are either consistently bizarre and energetic, or at least build up to the weird shit. When Wan drops this particular ball on us it feels more like a betrayal than a surprise. I get the feeling that there are two movies I like somewhere in here – an effectively chilly haunted house melodrama, and a wacky, spook-a-blast horror comedy – but when these movies are smashed together the effect is less than ideal.
Whannell's script is derivative, though usually in the respectful way the best homage is derivative. You aren't likely to recall plot points after seeing the film, but you are likely to recognize them, which is Whannell's clever (I'm assuming) way of building upon our already established fears. All good horror stories do this. I'm not entirely sure Whannell is a good enough writer to earn this benefit of the doubt, but I'll give it too him. Snatched tropes include childhood illness ( The Exorcist, Haunting in Connecticut), psychic investigators ( Poltergeist, The Entity), marital strife ( Poltergeist again, Amityville Horror), photo bombing ghosts (everything ever) and a skeptical male protagonist ( Poltergeist yet again, Drag Me To Hell). Whannell also addresses some of the more outdated tropes, though in a less comedic manner than other postmodern horror films like Scream. The house is haunted? Okay, let's move! Nerdy psychic investigators come into the house? Turns out one of them is a douche bag of Comic Book Guy proportions (I'd like to know more about these guys, actually, and their View Master ghost hunting technology). So the ideas are there, and the concepts are relatively clever, but the characters are weak, and the plot meanders without any real purpose or arc. The troubled third act, despite being more of a visual feast, and relatively entertaining on its own, comes out of nowhere, and has no real basis in, or bearing on the rest of the story. The fact that we're given no real stakes or geography during these scenes certainly doesn't help. Oddly enough, the shock coda works for both films.
Dead Silence worked mostly due to the Mario Bava inspired candy colour palette, which pushed the relatively unremarkable film into entertaining realms. Insidious is kind of the opposite. Most of the colour has been sucked out of the film, and set to nearly black and white, but thanks to digital grading Wan is able to spike certain hues, usually reds, and make sure they pop sharply against the otherwise dull palette. The Dead Silence-like gels utilized towards the end of the film are generally match the overall tonal value set by the desaturated scenes. The reddened scenes look the most impressive. Detail levels are extremely sharp, which becomes extremely important during those patented extremely dark sequences. The itty-bitty key lights ensure we can make out dark figures and menacing shadows. Given the relatively flat contrast levels I imagine standard definition releases will look a bit like black backgrounds set against grey blurs (some of the flashbacks are set almost entirely in black and white without any midtones, but this is for contrast, and not the norm for the transfer). The even, subtle gradation of the contrast doesn't hurt detail levels on the more brightly lit sequences either. There isn't a whole lot of fine texture, or even particularly complex backgrounds, but there is a lifelike crispness to every frame. I'm going to chalk this one up to the power of the RED camera system, which Wan has utilized quite well to create production values where there aren't many (I'm guessing the cameras, renting the house, and paying the actors was at least 90% of the budget).
Insidious is, like all successful modern ghost stories and haunted house movies, depends largely on its soundtrack for laying the foundation of each scare. Subtle effects ramp up the tension so that the louder stabs hit with the full impact of the system's capabilities. You can actually feel the jump scares in your chest. Other films have utilized stereo and surround channels to their spooky benefit a little more effectively, but the sound design team takes plenty of cues from the classics, and is wise to keep many of its supernatural effects based in practical noises (creaking wood and slamming doors, instead of Ghostbusters-like synthetic sound). The musical soundtrack is very loud when required, which is basically every time Wan wants us to poop our pants. The séance sequence is the moment this DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack is given a real chance to shine, moving from almost complete silence, to rushing high strings, and blasting flash bulbs from different channels, finally culminating in the a more abstract deep bass throb.
The extras here are brief, but not without merit. 'Horror 101: The Exclusive Seminar' (10:30, HD) is a behind the scenes featurette with Whannell and Wan discussing their inspirations (haunted house films, possession films) and intensions for the film, their disapproval of false jump scares, and how they intended the film to be a distinct three act structure. It's an interesting discussion, but it also points to some of the film's greater weaknesses, and over-explains a lot. 'On Set with Insidious' (8:20, HD) is a bunch of raw, fly on the wall footage, that is put in to context by the writer and director. It's an endearing look at the amusing behind the scenes process of a dead serious movie. I especially enjoyed the footage of Wan calming Ty Simpkins about the scarier elements. 'Insidious Entities' (6:30, HD) finishes things out with a look at the ghost and demon designs, and character back-stories (which is unnecessary).
I'm neither enamored with, nor resentful towards Insidious, a film that for whatever reason appears to really polarize audiences. I agree its strengths are worthy of praise, but I was not personally as riveted as the more adamant supporters. I also agree its weaknesses are worthy of note, but don't find the mismatched acts as experience ruining as the more adamant naysayers. This isn't an entirely successful film, or one worth buying without seeing it first in order to properly gage one's own tolerance for its dueling elements, but it's certainly worth a look for fans of haunted house and ghost stories. This Blu-ray release looks positively impeccable thanks to the high quality digital photography and an impressive 1080p transfer. The DTS-HD MA soundtrack also hits the right notes, and begs to be listened to at devastatingly high volume levels. The extras are brief, but relatively informative.

It terrified me so badly I had trouble sleeping for three nights after I saw it. The ENTIRE thing scared me from beginning to end, too. The whole movie was good to me. Why does everyone have such issues with the so-called third act? It was all coming from the same thread. How can we only like sections of a movie? The Further was freaking terrifying! All it was, was utter darkness, and the demon with the red-face looks like Darth Maul & The Devil's love child! All the monsters are just so terrifying to see, the sear into your brain. LOL For me, at least.
I still need to give this one a watch. I tend to enjoy Wan's work no matter how silly it gets. I even... uhh.. I even own Death Sentence.
I thought this was going really good up until the third act, then it just all fell apart.

Showered with accolades, Dinner by Heston Blumenthal is one of the world's most celebrated restaurants. Having spent years researching and exploring Britain's gastronomic past, Blumenthal and Executive Chef Ashley Palmer-Watts consulted with food historians and spent endless hours at The British Library in search of ideas. The result is a menu that has achieved worldwide recognition from food critics, chefs and customer alike.
With exceptional views of Hyde Park, the restaurant's interior was inspired by Heston Blumenthal's deep interest and knowledge of 15th and 16th century cookery. Using natural materials such as wood, leather and iron, the design references historic craftsmanship whilst simultaneously creating a chic, contemporary feel. With glass walls opening up onto the kitchen, diners can witness the restaurant's unique spit roast pulley system, which is modelled after an original used in the royal court.

Focusing on dishes inspired by Britain's historic gastronomic past, Dinner by Heston Blumenthal features a menu with recipes dating as far back as the 16th century. Adapted for the modern palate, these dishes include forgotten classics such as Spiced Pigeon with Ale and Artichokes and Tipsy Cake made with Spit Roast Pineapple.
With inspiration gained from recipes as far back as those used by the Royal Courts of King Henry VIII, Dinner's menu includes classics such as Mandarin Meat Fruit. A savoury meat course disguised as fruit, this delicious dish is the perfect example of how - through the ages - food has been used both as fuel and as a form of entertainment.
Having spent years researching such recipes, Blumenthal and Ashley Palmer-Watts have devised a menu that will not only excite your taste buds, but also stimulate your mind. Appearing on the menu with its date of origin and a reference to the cookbook in which it originally appeared, these wonderful dishes offer a unique insight into Britain's rich culinary history.

Heston Blumenthal
When Heston was 16 years old and dined with his family in a three-Michelin star restaurant in Provence, he fell in love with cooking and the idea of being a chef. For four years he conducted an experimental education and apart from three unpaid weeks in a few professional kitchens, he is entirely self-taught.
During his research, Heston read 'On Food and Cooking' by Harold McGee which questioned the basic notion that searing meat seals it. If this were untrue, he wondered, how many other 'rules' of the kitchen could be broken? This encouraged Heston's natural curiosity, showing him the benefits of taking nothing for granted and using his renowned scientific approach to cooking.
In 1995, Heston bought a 450-year-old pub in Bray, The Fat Duck. He transformed an impossibly cramped space with minimal culinary facilities into a gourmet kitchen and in a few years earned his first Michelin star, swiftly followed by two more. In 2005, it was named Best Restaurant in the World by the highly-respected Restaurant magazine.
During this time, Heston continued to explore the interests that have become a central part of his approach to cooking: multisensory perception and how the brain influences our appreciation of food. Through his deep interest in the history of British gastronomy, he came up with the idea of Dinner by Heston Blumenthal at Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, his first restaurant in the capital.
Executive Chef Ashley Palmer-Watts
Originally from Dorset, Ashley has been influenced by his love of the countryside and his knowledge of British seasonality and produce. Aged 14, his passion for cooking was fuelled by an after-school job in a restaurant. His first full time catering position was in Le Petite Canard where he studied the fundamental disciplines of the kitchen before joining Heston Blumenthal at the Fat Duck in 1999.
Ashley has worked with Heston ever since, using his artistic eye and enthusiasm for research to help create the historic British and multi-sensory dishes served at the Fat Duck. Ashley has been Executive Chef of Dinner by Heston Blumenthal since its opening in early 2011.
With room for up to 12 people, Dinner's private dining room offers a unique and exclusive environment in which to enjoy its award-winning cuisine.
With a traditional wood-beamed ceiling and rust coloured leather-clad walls, this intimate room has a warm, cosy design that reinforces the restaurant's historical British style. To complete the picture, cobalt blue fabric covers the elegant dining chairs, unique pigs' head lights adorn the walls and a stunning glass light fixture hangs directly from the ceiling over the table.
We also offer guests the option of reserving our Chef's Table. Situated opposite the kitchen, this semi-private space offers diners a window into Dinner's busy kitchen. Very much encapsulating the idea of restaurants as theatre, this fabulous table allows diners a unique insight into how the talented team work.
View here for more details about private dining.
Reservations can be made by the contact method below.
Please kindly be advised that Dinner by Heston Blumenthal will be closed for lunch and dinner from Monday 17 August until Sunday 27 August 2017 inclusive, to carry out essential maintenance work.

TORONTO, July 23 (UPI) -- The head of security at a Toronto hospital said a trio of "ballsy" thieves used a dolly to walk off with a $26,200 baby grand piano in broad daylight.
Todd Milne, head of security at Toronto General Hospital, said no one stopped the confident thieves when they put the piano on a dolly July 14 in the Peter Munk Wing and calmly walked out of the hospital with the instrument at 12:51 p.m., The Globe and Mail reported Tuesday.
Milne said the men told workers they were taking the piano for tuning.
"If you don't know anything about pianos, you don't know that the tuners come to the piano," he said. "I've been managing security since 1999, and have not experienced a theft as ballsy and as crazy as this one."
Milne said the piano was donated in 2006 and members of the Canadian Opera Company and other performers used it once a week to perform for cancer patients and their families.
Milne said police have been given images of the suspects taken by a security camera.

YORK, Pa. – The York College men's tennis squad picked up the victory in the first round of the Capital Athletic Conference Tournament on Sunday, besting visiting Stevenson 7-2 at Wisehaven Swim & Tennis Club in York. Following that playoff tilt, the Spartans hosted Washington College in a make-up match from a postponed date during regular season as Washington won 8-1. For the season, the Spartans now stand at 12-7 overall and advance to the CAC Tournament's semifinal round where they are set to visit Salisbury on Monday, April 17.
The Green and White got on the board with a pair of doubles triumphs to begin the match against Stevenson. Four seniors grabbed the doubles wins for York as Travis Klein and Colin Jones paired up in first doubles while Ryan Harvey and Justin Hostetter combined in the third spot. Klein and Jones snagged an 8-5 victory while Harvey and Hostetter's 8-1 triumph allowed them to secure their team-high 10th win together this year.
Singles action saw the Green and White sweep the second through sixth slots in straight sets.
At second singles, Harvey posted a 6-1, 6-0 win as he captured his 13th win. Third singles went to Jones by way of a 6-1, 6-2 result while Philip Myers collected his 15th victory of the season with a 6-2, 6-0 triumph.
Nathaniel Hoskins, who owns York's highest win total this season, posted a 6-0, 6-3 win as the rookie went on to own a strong 16-6 mark by the end of the day. Hostetter backed up his win in doubles with one in singles, taking the sixth slot 6-3, 6-2 to grab his 11th triumph of his senior campaign.
The nightcap did not go as well for the home squad as Washington College garnered an 8-1 triumph over the Spartans.
Despite the loss, Jones picked up his third victory of the day as he registered a 6-2, 6-1 third singles win. That triumph improves Jones' 2011 mark to 12-6 on the year.
The Spartans now embark on the CAC Tournament's semifinal round. York travels to Salisbury on Monday, April 18, as they face the Sea Gulls in a 3:00 pm tilt.

Little Rock Sees Sustainable Growth from Investments by Federal Partnership
Release Date: 11/19/2013
Contact Information: Joe Hubbard or Jennah Durant at 214-665-2200 or firstname.lastname@example.com
DALLAS – (Nov. 19, 2013) Today, senior officials from four major federal agencies visited Little Rock to promote sustainability and leverage support for investment projects in North Little Rock and Little Rock, Ark. They also gained additional knowledge and insight into how they can help the cities achieve their goals for sustainable growth.
"North Little Rock has been, and continues to be, a leader in sustainable development," said Joe Smith, Mayor of North Little Rock. "Our partnerships with these valuable federal agencies have produced incredible results and thanks to their continued insight and support we have many success stories to share."
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, U.S. Department of Transportation, and Delta Regional Authority officials and the mayors of Little Rock and North Little Rock toured the two Central Ark. cities as part of the Partnership for Sustainable Communities. The tour was a part of a nationwide initiative to engage stakeholders and receive feedback on how sustainable communities' efforts are progressing.
"Little Rock's Main Street is the kind of exciting, sustainable revitalization that public-private investment can produce," said Little Rock Mayor Mark Stodola. "We are proud that Main Street is becoming a leading example for other communities to follow and we will continue to encourage more sustainable development in Downtown Little Rock."
The interagency effort helps communities nationwide improve access to affordable housing, increase transportation options and lower transportation costs while protecting the environment. The partnership provides communities with faster and more efficient access to federal programs and resources.
"These investments strengthen our ongoing efforts to support a healthy environment and strong economy in Little Rock and North Little Rock," said Deputy EPA Administrator Bob Perciasepe. "They have given folks more transportation options to get to school or a job, and housing options to care for their families. And they have attracted private sector investments that support businesses and boost the local economy."
For example, EPA's initial investment of $80,000 for Greening America's Capitals program, used to develop designs for downtown Main Street, initiated other investments, such as $900,000 from Arkansas Department of Natural Resources for green infrastructure, $900,000 from Pulaski County for cleanup and redevelopment of vacant buildings, and $150,000 from the National Endowment of the Arts for an arts corridor. The coordinated public investments have already leveraged millions of dollars in private donations to Downtown Little Rock.
HUD Deputy Secretary Maurice Jones said, "It's a privilege to be here in Little Rock to see how Little Rock, North Little Rock and the State of Arkansas have embraced sustainability, creating jobs, leveraging private investment, increasing economic activity and improving educational opportunities in their neighborhoods. They're a model for others to follow."
DOT provided $1.5 million for a redesign of the Pike Street Roundabout, which improves safety and provides an efficient transportation solution to a maze of local roads. Additional DOT funding of $2.7 million will be used to construct portions of the Little Rock/North Little Rock Arkansas River Trail System, which features miles of riverside trails for bicycling, walking and running.
The Delta Regional Authority is a federal-state partnership working to stimulate economic development in the Mississippi Delta. The agency works to improve life for the 10 million people who reside in the 252 Delta counties and parishes in parts of eight states.
In 2009, EPA, HUD and DOT announced the interagency partnership to help its grantees succeed by providing technical assistance and tools, building capacity, and giving grantees better access to local networks and resources, while using the lessons learned to help future grantees. In addition, the partnership helps cities, suburbs, and rural areas use sustainable community strategies to generate economic growth and encourage redevelopment. With better transportation options, more housing choices, and a healthier environment, communities can attract new jobs and investment.

If there is one thing about Bleach that stands out to me it's the OP music. The guys behind this series have awsome taste. Most of the EDs are good too, though Happy People made me want to sacrifice my speakers in the name of sanity.

Favourite moment of bleach: first OP. Just watching that showed me a completely unique style that I'd never seen before. I absolutely loved it.
Another great moment was Ichigo vs. Renji the first time on Earth.
Oh how long ago that was.

Favourite Bleach moment? The ending of the fight between Ichigo and Kenpachi has to be the finest moment for me... or the part where Ichigo met the spirit of Zangetsu in his "inner world".
I also loved the part in the anime where we were introduced to Tensa Zangetsu for the first time.

Kinda cliche, but one of my favorite moments was during the Byakuya / Ichigo fight, where Ichigo says 'Ban Kai'. Everyone knew it was coming, and as a manga reader I knew exactly what would happen, nonetheless it was an awesome scene. Ichigo's Voice Actor (Not going to try and spell the japanese word, always mess it up) really captured him perfectly. I just hope when this is licensed they manage to find someone with that level of presence to voice Ichigo.

Yup. I love the OST! Shiro Sagisu is awesome. XD Um...I really liked the moment when Hitsugaya (I think it was in a flash back episode) spit a series of watermelon seeds at Hinamori. XDDD That was just funny. Actually, I thought the first few eps were really interesting. The first ep grabbed my attention.

I loved the characterisation of the cast! ^____^
They're all so awesome and unique...and not always as stereotypical as other animes.
...Although...Orihime...does get on my nerves sometimes --but not too much. =)
Plus come on...who wouldnt love the whole subtle romance in it? pairing everyone of the cast up is part of the fun!!!!
And...well, who wouldnt love Rukia?
No other anime/manga heroine like her!

This thread is too pointless and meandering to live. Just because the forum has had a bit of trouble doesn't mean that we are going to lower our standards to desperately scamble for any pathetic discussion we can get. This is nothing more than a general Bleach discussion and we already have a thread for that which survived from January 2005.

The Most Glam Games: Indoor Edition
A few weeks ago we looked at the most posh garden games (lots of) money can buy, but summer weather doesn't always cooperate with our bocce plans- I'm looking at you, San Francisco. Therefore allow me to present the most beautiful, luxurious, over-the-top versions of classic games. Nothing kicks cabin fever like a $3,270 backgammon set, right?
- I don't usually go for feathers all over things, but this Pheasant backgammon set by Alexandra Llewellyn is so manly pretty, like something Ron Swanson might build.
- She's created many other sets, including this glowing walnut Butterfly version.
- Fredericks & Mae's backgammon board is super-stylin' and all handmade.
- They've also created a travel version, for people who never leave home without backgammon. What is backgammon, you guys? I literally have no idea.
- Checkers is my game, and Fredericks & Mae have created a cool black & white set. Queen me!
- But for all I love checkers, I think their spangled dominoes are the prettiest of all. I would wear one of those as jewelry.
- And if you want to take your dominoes on-the-go, there's always the Hermes Mini Domino set with leather case. Only $560. For dominoes.
- Keep the crazy in play with Chanel's ping pong set- price available upon request, of course.
- Finally, out-spell your rivals with this built-to-last Scrabble set from Restoration Hardware. It features a wooden lazy Susan board, metal timer & letter racks, and oversized proportions so onlookers can have a clear view of your total vocab domination.

I don't think that I am being simplistic when I say that love is one of the most important feelings that a human being can experience, so please go forward in good faith knowing that I am not being flippant or irresponsible with what I'm about to say. I fell in love last night. I know, I know! We never thought it would happen. We all assumed that I was one of those girls who would never experience what the French-Belgians call l'amour and yet here I am, so deep into it that they'd need to build a special super tall ladder to get me out. Sure, I never thought I would feel this way, but you know what the weirdest part is? It's not even an individual that I've fallen love with — rather, it's an act by an individual that I've fallen in love with. Specifically, it was Lil Wayne singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" at last night's San Francisco Giants game. What can I say — this the nineties! You can love who you want!
While I think that "Lil Wayne singing 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame'" and I have very long and fruitful future together, I — sorry — we are not so limited by cultural norms that we feel the need to be exclusive so it's with that that I share with you what is arguably the greatest moment in sports history. If you don't love this then A.) you will not be invited into my sister wives situation and B.) what is wrong with you?

Lara VP needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 100 designs submitted by 26 freelance designers.
I am a life and wellness coach, keynote speaker and radio show host who is now branching out into the world of internet marketing by consolidating many of my workshops into ebooks. I consistently receive comments about how professional all of my marketing pieces look and how they give people the ability to reflect and breath the moment they see them.
Currently, I am writing an self-help ebook and want a crisp, clean, "makes you want to take a full-breath" logo design. Logo will be used on the company's initial, online, product launch: a 40-page ebook and its marketing website banner, as well as other connected products.
Declutter Your Life from the Inside Out!
Declutter Your Life from the Inside Out! is a guide to tackling more than the physical clutter in our lives but the internal clutter (thoughts and behavior patterns) that keep us stuck in our muck.
I am looking for an inviting logo that can be integrated into the site's banner and ebook cover design.
Again, this is an initial product launch with many other exciting product offerings to come. The logo will need to be versatile for these future projects.
If possible, feel free to indicate if you are interested in producing all three items required (logo, banner, and ebook cover).
- Crisp, clean, breathable
- This is being published by Cage-Free Living Publications. The use of bird metaphor is prominent. In fact, the book espouses seven keys to escaping the cage of clutter. I am using cage and key icons in the book.
- Declutter Your Life is the prominent part of the title
- I have two companies at the moment. One has an orange bird for its logo and sky and cloud elements throughout the website. The other company has a crisp, green logo on white. The book is about decluttering so the logo should reflect that.
- No caps or military-like fonts, please. Sans serif fonts are probably the way to go unless you have a compelling font recommendation, otherwise.
- No stock photos of people (moms, business people, etc.) If you have an idea to use graphic represenations of people, I will consider that. I do want people to get the impression of freedom and possibility but it may not require any human form in there at all.
- This is NOT a book about organization (while it does give it mention) so shelving and bins and such may not be appropriate.

COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - University of South Carolina Head Football Coach Steve Spurrier is used to making headlines and creating a buzz on the internet.
This week it was because of controversy surrounding his weekly TV show.
The Head Ball Coach requested that Fox Sports South not replay The Steve Spurrier Show, which originally aired Sunday morning following USC's win at Central Florida.
The show has also been taken off of the university's website. Spurrier says he wanted the show pulled because he was too negative towards the team after the hard fought win over the Knights.
"Well, I guess we don't jerk a TV show too often but I was way too negative afterwards," Spurrier said Wednesday evening after practice. "I don't mean to be so negative towards some of our players, some of our coaches that coach secondary, including myself. I try to always include myself when we are not coaching well so we decided not show the thing. I guess they show it two or three times, I didn't even know it. I thought they only showed it once, which I watched, I watched it Sunday morning and it wasn't any big deal. It was like most of my shows I thought, but I was too negative in it."
But some people who watched the show thought Spurrier's behavior was a little odd. Some national and local websites have questioned Spurrier's condition on the broadcast, specifically around 12:00 and 16:00 marks of the YouTube video below. (Mobile users: Click here to watch)
On Wednesday morning, when a reporter from The State Newspaper asked him if he was impaired. Spurrier replied, "I hope not."
He added he was frustrated and tired following Carolina's 28-25 win in Orlando.

While the Wolverines were trying to hand this bunch their first-ever loss, the Pirates had other ideas.Even with freshman, and current varsity, running back Roger Barcheers in street clothes on the sideline, the Pirates did not miss a beat as they routed the Wolverines 41-6.The Pansy Kidd Middle School teams split their games with Vian earlier on the evening. The seventh-grade Raiders used a late comeback to down the Wolverines 8-6, but the eighth-grade Raiders suffered a 36-6 loss to Vian.All three teams will return to action next week.

Ex-cop seeks resentencing delay in body burning
Ex-cop seeks resentencing delay in body burning
NEW ORLEANS, La. —
A former New Orleans police officer has asked a federal judge to postpone his resentencing hearing for his convictions for burning the body of a man who was fatally shot by another officer in Hurricane Katrina's aftermath.
In a court filing Monday, a defense attorney argues that Gregory McRae shouldn't be resentenced until U.S. District Judge Lance Africk rules on his request for a new trial. McRae's resentencing hearing is currently set for Jan. 9.
Africk sentenced McRae to more than 17 years in prison after a jury convicted him of charges stemming from the burning of 31-year-old Henry Glover's body.
A three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld McRae's convictions but ordered Africk to resentence him.

Party Appetizer Recipe: Cheddar Olives
When planning a cocktail party, I always make sure to have one "straight-from-freezer-to-oven" recipe, and I make extra. You can keep refilling the tray as long as you need to, and any leftovers stay in the freezer for the next party. There's only one problem. With these cheddar olives, my favorite straight-from-freezer-to-oven recipe, there are never any leftovers. Ever. No matter how many I make. People just can't get enough of the warm, cheddary, slightly crumbly pastry enclosing a juicy olive.
These cheddar olives come together in a snap — a single recipe probably takes about 20 minutes or less to get in the oven. Obviously, the more you make, the longer it will take, but once you've got the dough made, rolling the olives is pretty mindless. It's perfect for catching up on your TV watching, or having a good chat.
This is an old southern bridge party recipe - you'll find versions of it in many cookbooks. This one is my favorite.
Tester's Notes
I had to make this recipe because I honestly couldn't imagine how it would taste. Cheddar dough? Wrapped around a simple green olive? Say what?
And I was totally blown away! The cheesy dough bakes up crispy and tender in the oven while the olive becomes warm and juicy. Biting into one of these little nubbly snacks is a surprising burst of flavors: a breath of cheddar, the meatiness of the olive, a burst of salty olive juice. For a salt fiend like me, this snack is a revelation. And Nina is totally right — set these out at a party and they're gone in minutes.
I made a few tweaks to her basic recipe below. I felt like the dough wasn't quite enough for the small bottle of olives I had, so I increased the recipe by half. The recipe still isn't an exact science, so you'll probably always end up with a bit of leftover dough or a few extra olives, but I think a little more dough balances everything out.
Other than that, the recipe is perfect. Make it. Make a double batch. The guests at your next dinner party will sing your praises. - Emma
Cheddar Olives
Makes enough to feed 6 to 8 as an appetizer
8- to 10- jar of pitted green olives, either pimento-stuffed or plain
1 1/2 cups
shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup
all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons
unsalted butter, softened
1/4 teaspoon
cayenne, smoked paprika or freshly grated black pepper
Preheat the oven to 400° F.
Drain the olives well, and dry them completely with clean dish towels. Set aside.
Combine the cheese, flour, butter, and spices in a medium bowl and knead it within the bowl until a dough forms. If the dough is still crumbly and won't hold together, add water 1 teaspoon at a time until it does.
Pinch off a small amount of dough, and press it as thin as you can between your fingers to flatten. Wrap and smoosh the dough around a dry olive. Pinch off any excess, then roll the olive in your hands until smooth. Continue until all the olives are covered.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown all over. Alternatively, freeze the olives on a baking sheet until firm, then wrapped tightly and freeze for up to a week. Bake straight from the freezer for 20-25 minutes.
Serve immediately.

Legislators said Monday it's unlikely the N.C. General Assembly will pony up more money for the struggling Flat Rock Playhouse in the short term, and longer-term funding prospects aren't looking much better.
Legislators said Monday it's unlikely the N.C. General Assembly will pony up more money for the struggling Flat Rock Playhouse in the short term, and longer-term funding prospects aren't looking much better.
Sen. Tom Apodaca and Rep. Chuck McGrady said the state's budgetary process precludes the General Assembly from helping out the Playhouse in its campaign to raise $250,000 before winter. Later help would require the state to be on stronger financial footing, they said.
"We're not in session right now and we don't adopt a budget until June of next year," McGrady said. "Near-term, there's no mechanism for providing additive monies to address their year-end shortfall."
"There's nothing we can do right now since we're out of session," Apodaca agreed. "We can't do anything until April or May at the earliest."
Even then, additional funding for the 60-year-old theater company won't be easy to find in tough budgetary times, the legislators said.
Apodaca said he was willing to ask the N.C. Department of Cultural Resources to look at increasing its allocation to the Playhouse, but added there isn't much arts funding available due to state belt-tightening.
"We have other issues we have to tackle, and cultural resources are not our No. 1 priority," Apodaca said, citing education and law enforcement as two more pressing issues.
McGrady agreed, saying "we've still got some troubles to face before we look at discretionary spending of any sort. It just wouldn't be financially responsible."
Currently, the Playhouse receives about $68,000 from state funding sources, said Bill McKibbin, president of the theater's board of trustees.
At a meeting Wednesday, three county commissioners suggested that state legislators get more involved in the Playhouse's fiscal matters.
"In that the Flat Rock Playhouse is the State Theatre of North Carolina, I think it needs to be looked at more seriously, very possibly, by the state," said Chairman Tommy Thompson. "I believe that there needs to be restructuring of its board and its managerial processes ... But the state could come in, if the legislature and our representatives who have put us in this position were so willing to do so, the state could come in and really make this a state theater."
Commissioner Mike Edney concurred, saying, "I agree totally with you that the state needs to step up."
However, Apodaca said the state should not wade into management of the Playhouse.
"From a management perspective, the state can screw up a one-car funeral, so I don't think that would help," he said. "Do I think the Playhouse is important? Absolutely. But we're not in the business of running playhouses."
McGrady, one of four state-appointed Playhouse trustees from the General Assembly, said appointees have not been heavily involved in Playhouse management because their legislative duties prevent them from attending meetings with any regularity.
"To my knowledge, none of the state appointments have been very engaged in the board," he said, describing the appointments as "more of an honor" than "hands-on managing."
Apodaca said too much has been made of the Playhouse's honorary title, "State Theatre of North Carolina."
"In North Carolina, we have a state theater, we have a state tree, we have a state dog," he said. "They're called that, but the state doesn't give money to all those things. We have done what we said we'd do on a state level. We had money that we had allocated to them, and we gave them that money."
But Apodaca predicted the Playhouse would survive its latest financial crisis, thanks to the leadership of McKibbin and the generosity of people in the community.
"I think we can get there," he said. "When it's back up and running, I think it could be a self-sustaining entity. In the last four or five years, nobody has had a good economic time. We need to be cognizant of that."

It is the well crafted ones that I would not like to see painted in a corner or out of the picture because we all bundle them into the same basket as the "loose associations". As peds that I speak to seem to do.
Yes, even the good ones find it difficult however to moderate speed quickly and my response to them is to accommodate them by doing the slowing myself and moving across. Regardless of the legal bits and bobs.
Totally agree that there is a clear distiction between "well crafted" groups and loose associations. I too move across to accommodate them too - to avoid being hit but the point of the OP, whether they be loose associations or well crafted groups, by riding two abreast, they are creating danger for other riders and themselves. The path is not wide enough, to accommodate any contingency when things go wrong. On 99% of occasions nothing does go wrong but on the 1% when there is a problem, that is when people get hurt. It takes some time and distance for groups riding in pairs to move into single file. If the intention was to to do so when an oncoming rider is sighted, it would be too late to accommodate this action.
I would argue that if a group is riding two abreast on a PSP then by virtue of their actions (and ignorance of the law/danger) they are not "well crafted".
I think something many experienced cyclists may not realise is just how intimidating a group of cyclists travelling in the oposite direction can be. One Saturday my regular shop group rode to Mandurah on the Kwinana PSP, we rode in single file and on a straight quiet section quite a way south of Perth we encounted a couple of 'recreational cyclists' coming the other way. For no logical reason, one of these two riders panicked and moved into the path of our group. The result was that both she and one of my riders were hospitalised with nasty, deep lacerations and shock. My point is that groups on PSPs do not know for certain what the oncoming (or overtaken) cyclists will do and there is no opportunity to react if you are in a bunch.
This question may be better in it's own thread if it is highly complex or contentious but here goes - As you have identified yourself as a group rider you may be able to give me an idea of how people *should* get into riding in a group as I have always understood that do do a good job, especially at speed, requires a lot more than just learning the hand signals. How does a group accommodate different capacity riders and for example. I think of group rides a little like a flight of ducks - Each one mirrors the actions in front a moment later so you would not a more powerful duck or one that corners differently in the group. And do riders in a proper (not loosley associated) have very similar configurations? Does a flat bar rider could respond differently timing wise and if so should they be riding only with similar bikes?
Colin, you are right, I will start a new thread to respond to this.

So maybe you guys have already seen this but an anonymous player is giving his thoughts on the NFL Top 100 list. I think it's pretty interesting. I'd recommend checking out his feed.

He's anonymous. That's the whole point.

Spleenhawk2.0 wrote:I thought it would be fun to try and figure out who this is - he states he currently plays in the NFL, so he must currently be on a roster (he could be lying too)
In the twitter feed he mentions that he entered the league the same year that Witten did - 2003. That does narrow the choices down dramatically. It would have to be a good player to be able to last in the league for 10+ seasons
Someone guessed Andre Johnson - and his reply was "Nope....nice guess though" implying that he is a receiver.
My first guess was Anquan Boldin - but if you look at his reply to the ranking of Ngata - "Haloti Ngata, DT I don't think he gets enough credit! That Ravens D don't scare me if he not out there!". Does not strike me as something that a former teammate would say.....
I noticed that when this player talked about entering the league the same year as Witten, he said "Jason Witten came out the same year that I did....". Interesting he chose the term "came out" rather than drafted. His focus on Witten (plus he seems to enjoy making fun of Tony Gonzalez's age) seems to also indicate that he may may also be a TE
TE that entered the league in 2003 - undrafted, yet still playing? This HAS to be Antonio Gates
(Not that it really matters - but this has been a LONG offseason)
