On "To Be a Jew in the Twentieth Century"
Susan Schweik
"To Be a Jew in the Twentieth Century" enacts most powerfully the struggle of the body and for belief:
To be a Jew in the twentieth century
Is to be offered a gift. If you refuse,
Wishing to be invisible, you choose
Death of the spirit, the stone insanity.
Accepting, take full life. Full agonies:
Your evening deep in labyrinthine blood
Of those who resist, fail, and resist: and God
Reduced to a hostage among hostages.
The gift is torment. Not alone the still
Torture, isolation; or torture of the flesh.
That may come also. But the accepting wish,
The whole and fertile spirit as guarantee
For every human freedom, suffering to be free,
Daring to live for the impossible.
The significance of this poems representation of Jewish experience at a time when the great majority of American volumes of war poems ignored the Holocaust cannot, I think, be overemphasized. "To Be a Jew in the Twentieth Century offers a profound extension and reformulation of the terms of the other poems in the "Letter [to the Front]" sequence and of the terms of Western war poetry and dominant American home-front culture. Stressing the active work of Judaism, it reworks the traditional rhetoric of election: Jews are people who must choose to be the chosen people. Giving new substance to the word "belief" which has cropped up so frequently in "Letter [to the Front]," it represents that belief as rooted and exemplified in Jewish cultural and spiritual tradition. Its figure of the gift which is also torment refigures conventional imagery of wars exchanges; external battles and written, distant correspondences are replaced by an inward, invisible offering, an internal struggle to acknowledge and live by ones identity and ones principles. Finally, not least, "To Be a Jew" adds another dimension to the front which this "Letter to the Front" redefines, reminding us that in 1944 not only soldiers bore marks, scars, and wounds or capacities of vision and resistance.
There is a body at the center of "Letter to the Front." It is a Jews body. And, in this war poem . . . it is a womans body. "Letter to the Front"s strongest revision of the tradition of war poetry and war letters lies here: the great questions of that tradition -- if, why, how the body should be or will be put to use, put in danger, for the sake of belief -- are claimed as questions, necessary and inevitable, for supposed "non-combatants."
[Susan Schweik, A Gulf So Deeply Cut: American Womens Poetry of the Second World War (Madison: U of Wisconsin Press, 1991), 169-170.]
Janet Kaufman
Rukeyser's first published poetic lines reflecting on the meaning of being Jewish emerge in a Petrarchan sonnet in her ten-poem sequence "Letter to the Front" (1944), which confronts the horrors of the Spanish Civil War and World War II. Searching for a way to respond to these wars specifically as a woman and a poet, the sequence opens with a visionary declaration: "Women and poets see the truth arrive" (OS 61). Progressing through the sequence, Rukeyser imagines the influence women could have by responding to war and beckons for their "Involvement in the world." Finally, she concludes by imagining the heroic efforts of resistance fighters that began with "signs of belief" and offered hope; her poem, a letter to the front, becomes an effort to return the favor of those signs: "As I now send you, for a beginning. praise" ( OS 68).
Giving no hint of itself earlier in the sequence, the seventh poem of the sequence. a sonnet, announces itself with a proclamation: "To be a Jew in the twentieth century / Is to be offered a gift." (OS 65). Imagine writing these lines at the apex of the Nazi genocide. In a poem-letter addressing women in general and herself as a poetand indirectly addressing her lover, Otto Boch, who had died fighting in the Spanish resistancewhy did she abruptly insert this declaration? What could she have meant by it, and why would she write it as a Petrarchan sonnet, the ultimate form for the love poem? The octet continues:
If you refuse,
Wishing to be invisible, you choose
Death of the spirit, the stone insanity.
Accepting. take full life. Full agonies:
Your evening deep in labyrinthine blood
Of those who resist, fail, and resist; and God
Reduced to a hostage among hostages. (OS 65)
The "gift," these lines make clear, is not offered unconditionally; the price of refusing it is "death of the spirit." Accepting it, however, means knowingly accepting "full agonies," willingly stepping into "labyrinthine blood." She invokes centuries of persecution against Jews with these words, as well as the
courage and persistence of Jews who resisted persecution throughout history. Her words also disturbingly echo the appellation of God in Jewish liturgy"King of Kings" or "Host of Hosts"when they claim that accepting "full agonies" also means facing a history with God fallen, reduced to "hostage among hostages." This was 1944.
The sestet of the poem rescues, offers hope, even while it equates the gift with torment:
The gift is torment. Not alone the still
Torture, isolation; or torture of the flesh.
That may come also. But the accepting wish,
The whole and fertile spirit as guarantee
For every human freedom, suffering to be free,
Daring to live for the impossible.
The "torment" evokes not only the physical suffering inflicted by a history of oppression, but the mental torture of hoping for freedom and peace that, in the midst of the Spanish Civil War and World War II described in "Letter to the Front," seems impossible. The "accepting wish" torments because it dares and tethers one to a life of resistance and risk-taking. Rukeyser's language evokes the covenant between God and the Israelites at Sinai, contingent upon the Israelites, and all succeeding generations, accepting it. When Moses says to the people, "Not with our fathers did the Lord make this covenant, but with us, even us, who are all here alive today" (Deut. 5:3), the people respond: "We will hear it and do it" (5:24). To accept the gift is to accept a binding responsibility, but a responsibility that liberates, making the impossible possible. Many have argued that the notion of the covenant distinguishes the Jewish people and Jewish history; Rukeyser seizes on this idea in her sonnet: the gift of Judaism is a binding relation to God, history, and the future. With the seed of this idea in an essay earlier in her career, Rukeyser had written, "To me, the value of my Jewish heritage, in life and in writing, is its value as a guarantee" ("Under Forty" 9).
Although, ostensibly, one can accept or deny the contract posited in the sonnet, choice does not seem viable. As the octet declares, not to accept the gift, if one is born a Jew, is to be invisible, to blind one perhaps even to oneself. Rukeyser published these lines in a time not only when Jews were being annihilated in Europe but when, in America, Jews were striving to assimilate rapidly into mainstream American society. Given that, in childhood, Rukeyser found her parents' temple bereft of meaning and that she remained distant from organized Judaism, the fact that both the American Reform and Reconstructionist movements adopted "To Be a Jew" into their prayer books "astonished" her. "One feels that one has been absorbed into the line and it's very good" (Packard 122). Much of Rukeyser's poetry displays these conventional qualities of prayer: praise, supplication, argument, dialogue, and risk. We see this, for instance, at the end of "Nine Poems for the unborn child" (1948): "praise / To the grace of the world and time that I may hope / To live, to write, to see my human child" (OS 78), or in "The Poem as Mask" (1968): "Now, for the first time, the god lifts his hand, / the fragments join in me with their own music" (RR 213). Prayer entails a spiritual risk of participating in a conversation that offers no certainty of response; writing to and trusting so emphatically in poetic language, Rukeyser creates a listener, drawing upon poetry as prayer as a way to "live for the impossible." When she asserts in "Notes for a Poem," early on in her first volume, Theory of Flight, that the poem offers "a plough of thought to break this stubborn ground" (CP 11), she harkens back to Isaiah's injunction: "They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruninghooks" (2:4). While Rukeyser's sonnet in "Letter to the Front" emphasizes the liturgical qualities of her poetry, it also defines Judaism as a source of courage to break through the silences that perpetuate injustice.
Rukeyser reinforces this idea in an essay published the same year as the sonnet "To be a Jew," in a collection entitled "Under Forty: A Symposium on American Literature and the Younger Generation of American Jews" in the Contemporary Jewish Record. The editors of this symposium wanted to know whether the writer's position as artist and citizen had been "modified . . . by the revival of anti-Semitism as a powerful force in the political history of our time." Among the essays, Rukeyser's was the only one insisting on the interwovenness and interdependence of her various identities. Elaborating on her theme of Judaism as a gift, Rukeyser wrote about her sense of her Jewish heritage as a guarantee: "Once one's responsibility as a Jew is really assumed, one is guaranteed, not only against fascism, but against many kinds of temptation to close the spirit" (9).

In Testimony: Crises of Witnessing in Literature, Psychoanalysis, and History (1992), by Shoshana Felman and psychoanalyst Dori Laub, Felman writes:
The contemporary writer often dramatizes the predicament (whether chosen or imposed, whether conscious or unconscious) of a voluntary or of an unwitting, inadvertent, and sometimes involuntary witness: witness to a trauma, to a crime or to an outrage; witness to a horror or an illness whose effects explode any capacity for explanation or rationalization.
In some cases, she goes on to explain, a witness will be one of only a handful of survivors who have in their lives experienced firsthand a human tragedy of the degree of WWII's concentration camps and lived to talk about it, and for that reason must bear a marked solitude ("isolation" in Rukeyser's poem) alongside a marked responsibility. "To bear witness," Felman writes, "is to bear the solitude of a responsibility, and to bear the responsibility, precisely of that solitude." Oftentimes, this means to bear the responsibility of telling their tale of survival, and by extension, the responsibility to speak for those who no longer can. To put this another way, in order to speak, witnesses mark themselves as exceptions. While the witness herself is defined as such by her status of solitude (that is, by her status as a sole survivor), the act of testifying can bring about a broad range of important repercussions for those whom she addresses. Felman offers: "By virtue of the fact that the testimony is addressed to others, the witness, from within the solitude of his own stance, is the vehicle of an occurrence, a reality, a stance or a dimension beyond himself."
With this model of testimony in mind, we can find at the heart of Muriel Rukeyser's "(To be a Jew in the Twentieth Century)" (1944) a debate over--and between--the solitude and responsibility of a survivor. Rukeyser's poem does not announce itself to be situated within a particular national context, but we can imagine that the testimony of a person practicing Judaism in mid-twentieth century Germany resounds differently than the testimony of a young American practicing Judaism in the latter half of the twentieth century. In the first case, the testimony comes from a survivor who witnessed Hitler's campaign to exterminate everyone of the Jewish faith (or race, depending on which theorist you read), and who successfully avoided this extermination him/herself. In the second case, the testimony perhaps carries more weight as proof that Hitler failed and Jewish lineages still propagated after the war. In any case, despite the explicit qualification in the first line of the poem that what comes next takes as it foundation the fact that the subject being discussed IS Jewish, Rukeyser's speaker muses over taking the "gift" of Jewishness and rejecting the "gift" of Jewishness. It seems to me that these musings may be read as questions of testimony.
Throughout the poem, Rukeyser keeps the meaning of "gift" eclipsed by the
many internal states brought about by its acceptance or rejection by a Jewish subject. The
origin of refusal, she makes clear, is the desire "to be invisible" (ln 3). Here
we might remember Felman's argument that to act as a witness means, one the one hand, to
mark oneself out as an exception, that is, to draw attention to a subject position that is
somehow painfully "different," even if ultimately reparative. We can surmise
that the threat of this positioning is exactly what would cause the subject being
discussed in "(To be a Jew)" to wish for invisibility in the first place. Yet,
refusal of the gift carries negative consequences: "death of the spirit, the stone
insanity" (ln 4). In terms of Jewish testimony, a silent witness corresponds, in a
sense, to Hitler's partially successful extermination of Jewishness. One cannot assert
success against him, nor can one speak from a witnessing subject position from a point of
invisibility. And when one neglects to "bear the responsibility" of witness--by my reading, to refuse the gift--one ensures the more wholesale internal isolation and solitude imaged in the poem as "death of the spirit" and "stone insanity."
Acceptance of the gift causes its own special set of torments. According to Felman's theoretical model, testimony entails remembering and attempting to put into words horrors of an impossible scale. Rukeyser writes that acceptance of the gift is acceptance of "evening[s] deep in labyrinthine blood/ Of those who resist, fail, and resist" (lns 6-7). These are no doubt insufferably painful memories, intentionally conjured as a result of the gift, whether put into words and told to a non-witness or not. Moreover, acceptance of the gift may result in its own form of "isolation" (discussed above in the context of Felman's work) or--further--"torture of the flesh" (ln 10). As we well know, to be a Jew (and especially to make Jewishness known in the public sphere) in 1944 was to risk violent, residual WWII racism, no matter the country one inhabited. Nevertheless, according to the speaker of Rukeyser's poem, the totality of the negative consequences of accepting the gift do not outweigh the hope and spiritual wholeness engendered by acceptance. If I can invoke Felman's argument one last time, it might be possible to complement Rukeyser's cryptic final word on the matter of being a Jew in twentieth century ("impossibility") with Felman's discussion of the redemptive quality of testimony. Felman writes of testimony as "the vehicle of an occurrence, a reality, a stance or a dimension beyond [the witness]," and infuses this definition with the spirit of a counter-force to internal suffering in/and isolation. It is a "whole and fertile spirit" writes Rukeyser, who "[dares] to live for the impossible." Only the act of testimony offers to a witness the possibility of moving through the isolation and solitude of witnessing, Felman offers. Perhaps then testimony is a "guarantee/ For every human freedom" (lns 12-13)contingent, of course, on acceptance of Rukeyser's mysterious "gift," which I have suggested, of course, can itself be read as the acceptance or refusal to testify.

The game was well played across the board for the Cowboys. Obviously Murray gets the headlines and rightfully so after going for 253 yards on 25 carries. I'm not ready to say he is the next great Dallas running back but he will at least be a big part of the offense for the rest of the season. Maybe Felix Jones will return to his role as change up back now that we see how effective Murray is between the tackles.
Tony Romo played a solid game but he really didn't have to do much thanks to the dominating running game the offense had all day. Romo threw for 2 TD's and never threw a pass that was the least bit dangerous. And he smartly took a couple of sacks rather than forcing the ball down the field when he was under duress.
The defense kept Steven Jackson bottled up for the most part. Jackson did break off one big run and scored a TD but he managed only 70 yards on 18 carries. The Rams passing game didn't do much of anything all game long. And Mike Jenkins ran a better route than Brandon Lloyd to come up with a nice interception. Abram Elam also forced a fumble and recovered a fumble to stop a potential scoring drive by the Rams.
Dan Bailey has now made 15 consecutive field goals. I was ready to cut him after he missed a short kick against the 49ers but he has been money ever since. I'm assuming the Cowboys are waiting for David Buehler to get healthy so they can avoid an injury settlement when he is cut.
The good news for the Cowboys is that they looked like a quality team. Good teams handle poor teams with ease. The Cowboys did that. Of course that doesn't mean the Cowboys are playoff bound. It just means that they have the potential to be a playoff team this season. Now they need to start handling quality teams with a little more ease.
Next week is going to be a big test of just where the Cowboys are right now. The Eagles are only 2-4 but they have their backs against the wall. The Cowboys can essentially bury the Eagles' season but you can bet they will get the best shot the Eagles have. Next Sunday will be a big game without a doubt.

Real simple. They beat the Eagles next week and they'll take the division. They lose and they're done. I know it's only the 7th game of the year but that's my prediction based on the way they've played up til this point. I took nothing away from today's game because we played at home against a winless team who didn't even have their starting quarterback.ReplyDelete

There's a lot more football to be played to say that the next game is make or break for the Cowboys. It's been over reported that the Cowboys have a soft schedule the rest of the way through (for the most part) and it's only getting tougher for the rest of the NFC East (comparatively).ReplyDelete
We don't have to beat out the Packers to reach the playoffs, just win an underachieving division. Seems like it's within reach, Win or Loss next week.
It was a needed win. Season is still young and plenty of games left. I still dont have much faith in Garrett as a coach....ReplyDelete
Man, that game did not feel like domination to me. It was still 17-7 at the half and it seemed to go for a good long while where if the Rams scored one touchdown, it was a game again.ReplyDelete
Still, I think everyone was hoping for a score like 34-7 and that's what we got. And we were hoping to run the ball against a team that had trouble running the ball, and we got that as well. And most people were probably hoping to see Dez produce in the second half and even that happened. So, a lot to build on and probably the game they wanted to have before the Eagles game. Possibly even better than an actual domination from start to finish just because they still have a lot to work on this week.
Not that they didn't have enough to worry about before. Still, they're better than the Eagles. Time to show it.
"Run the ball against a team that has trouble stopping the run" is what I meant to say.ReplyDelete

Well folks, he got here a little later this year—travelin' while dead is slow, hard, work—but the NVIDIA-VIA acquisition rumor horse is here once again to grace us with a visit. This time around, it was DigiTimes what kicked off the topic (citing "market sources"), and so here we are again.
What we know so far is that VIA intends to sell 300 million new shares of itself at approximately 27-35 US cents-per-share. A cash deal on the shares would drop some $93 million in VIA's pocket; the company has already announced plans to invest some $26.5 million USD into its VIA Optical Solution subsidiary.
NVIDIA, natch, has been fingered as a company that might buy up at least part of the shares, but the company refused to comment on the situation. VIA, for its part, says it will reveal potential candidates following its June 19 shareholder meeting. I'm not willing to take a stance on whether or not NVIDIA will buy a stake in VIA, but I will bet Jen-Hsun is considering the option more carefully than he's done in the past.
In the past, the idea of a VIA/NVIDIA alliance seemed off-base simply because VIA didn't appear to have anything NVIDIA would actually want. 2008, however, marked the rise of Atom, the netbook, and consumers' newfound interest in low-power/long-battery life systems. Relations between NVIDIA and Intel, meanwhile, have deteriorated. Santa Clara has made it clear that it doesn't want the Ion platform to succeed (even if said system is powered by an Atom), and the two companies are now embroiled in a legal slugfest over patents that could drag out for a decade.
Ultimately, VIA could be the choice of last resort. It's hard to buy into any sort of partnership with Intel when your so-called partner is literally pushing documents to its sales staff about how your product sucks. AMD is an option, but AMD owns ATI, and ATI just happens to be NVIDIA's direct competitor, so yeah. That's a bit complicated, too. VIA, on the other hand, has Nano. If it can actually get the next-generation of Nano ready and shipped, it might have half of what it needs to make Nano a contender. Then along comes NVIDIA, and slaps on the chipset.
None of these arguments are trail-blazing; many of them have been advanced before. What's changed, in this case, is the market's preferences for smaller, cheaper, netbooks as opposed to monsters with 17" screens and Blu-ray drives. If netbooks are the future of computing (or even a major force over the next 3-4 years) it changes the attractiveness of a VIA+NVIDIA partnership for both companies. On a purely practical note, it helps that VIA has demonstrated and shipped silicon capable of competing with Atom even if production was heavily delayed in 2008. If it does partner with the Taiwanese company, NVIDIA has some reassurance that the products it needs to drive its netbook chipsets will be built.
I'm gonna let the horse get along his way for now, but we'll see him in a year—or maybe not. Poor fella. Oughta get him one of those motorized scooters or sumthin.

Hi all... just to keep you up-to-date...
right now, I'm planning a way to better configure the pythonpath.
I'm thinking about having:
- System libs, configured together with the python interpreter;
- Source folders, for each project
- Project references for another project (and thus getting its source folders in the pythonpath)
- External libs (not part of system nor any project).
The system libs part (gui) is almost ready... in cvs it should already be working, but you cannot do much with it right now :-)

USA vs. Belgium: A Beer Drinker's Guide to Patriotic Consumption
As the U.S. gears up to face Belgium today in the World Cup, many Americans will venture to bars dressed in red, white, and blue, a cold bottle of Budweiser on the brain. What could be more American than that?
Yuengling, for one. Budweiser, despite its iconic American reputation and its rallying cries on Twitter, was bought by the Belgium-based InBev, in 2008, along with its parent company, Anheuser-Busch. Despite its Belgian ownership, however, Budweiser is still made in the U.S., making it American in some respects. Think of it like rooting for an American soccer team run by a foreign coach.

For those lucky enough to drive one, the world is cheerful and bright seen through the windshield of a Euro-tinted Mercedes. From this point of reference, it's difficult to fathom that for 2010 other car manufacturers are just now announcing things like variable-valve timing, two-stage intake manifolds and fuel efficiency that adjusts to engine performance. Given the title of this magazine, you'll be excused. With drives like those in the GLK350 4MATIC, all the niceties that come with an all-new model are easy to take for granted.
Starting with the nicest first-the seven speed automatic transmission. With fuel efficiency technology necessary on these types of vehicles, automatic is the only choice-pontificating about manual versus auto is a waste of time. To have any kind of fuel economy outside ridiculous, a torque converter with a locking clutch is necessary to simulate the benefits of a manual. The saving grace is often in the paddle shifters; some crossovers, however, do it better than others. In many SUVs this proves to be a mystery card, and all it takes is that first flick to see how much is an illusion. The shining difference is the varying levels of control that are allowed.
In the GLK's case, the only way to drive is to utilize the Touch Shift as often as possible. You're allowed to choose your own gear at any time, without having to move the gearshift lever over from auto sport mode. You can even skip three gears at any time if you like, with super-responsive results. In cruising mode, the unmolested automatic responds to road grades by adjusting shifts, adapting to a drive that is all between what you and the road are each doing. The shifts are noticeable, but smooth and without slip.
This transmission really shines combined with the 3.5-liter V6 with just enough power to bridge the gap between large car and a rock climber. With 268 hp at 6000 rpm and 87 percent of the 258 lb-ft of torque available at 1500 rpm, this car looks better on paper than, say, and Audi Q5. Add to this the four-wheel-drive, all-the-time 4MATIC, agile suspension and variable-valve timing tech, and the GLK looks off to a great start. The 4MATIC debuts in January, but Mercedes will offer a rear-wheel-drive version later in the year. There's even talk of a GLK220 Bluetec for North America, which is an almost identical version to the one Europe gets. That one, the GLK220 CDI BlueEfficiency, has a more efficient, small-displacement diesel engine and a turbocharger, and would only need a few different treatment systems to make it work here. A diesel hybrid will be further down the road.
It's more expensive than its competitors-in the $40k range-but enough about numbers. When you get a feel for the GLK, you're seeing the world through rose-colored glasses from then on. The GLK drives into the compact SUV party after an engraved invitation from the public. Smaller than the M-Class but with all the legendary largess of vehicles like Mercedes' G-Wagen, it's part of a lineage of 4x4s that goes back more than 100 years. Which also makes it, only by default, the most fuel-efficient Benz thus far. The boxy, stand-up-straight styling from the GL is still there, particularly in the hood, which contradicts rounded aerodynamics elsewhere. The standard 19-inch wheels almost appear small within the overall shape, but that's easily fixed with an optional Appearance Package that includes 20-inch wheels. The conspicuous lack of an off-road package here in the States says something about the car's target demographic, especially considering we first saw the North American version in the Sex and the City movie.
Of course, appearance does matter, and on this Benz, it's the interior look that wins a beauty contest against mini SUVs like the Q5 and LR2. The GLK utilizes the same one-dial aluminum controller found in the S-Class sedan and CL coupe to interface with the display for navigation, audio and phone functions. There are hookups in the glovebox for an MP3 player and even an iPhone, but not the same kind of bumping audio system as in the Land Rover we drove recently. An optional multimedia package solves that problem, changing the standard stereo out for a 12-speaker LOGIC7 Dolby Digital system and a MusicRegister feature that allows you to save up to 1,000 songs on an integrated hard drive.
All this performance and luxury is probably not new to an avid European car enthusiast. It may even be what we've already come to expect from Mercedes. The point is, for a car this size in this segment, the view from the GLK's cabin is first class.

Not sure what hubcap or wheel size you need for your vehicle? Getting the right hubcap or wheel size is important and easy, if you know how.
To determine your hubcap or wheel size, simply look at the side of your tire. There, you'll see some numbers and letters. An example of what you are looking for is shown at right.
The specific digits you're most interested in are the last two numbers after the letter "R". In the example shown at right, the last two digits are "15". This indicates that this is a 15" wheel which requires a 15" hubcap. It's as simple as that.
What you do not want to do is physically measure the wheel or the hubcap.
If you have any questions about determining your hubcap or wheel size, contact us!
A standard steel wheel can be seen behind the hubcap and has small round holes all around it.
If you have any questions or are unsure whether your vehicle has standard steel wheels, please feel free to contact us. We are happy to assist you in finding the right product for your car!

The Alabama native opened Oskar Blues Grill & Brew restaurant -- named after a combination of the names of two friends of his, not the brand of harmonica often favored by blues artists -- in April 1997.
He had fallen in love with Lyons and thought his mother's Southern recipes would find an eager audience in Colorado.
Since then, Katechis has grown Oskar Blues into what can be called a modest empire. Oskar Blues' "anti-corporate" headquarters are now located in Longmont, as is its main brewery, which produced 59,000 barrels of beer in 2011, 40 percent more than the previous year.
The company opened its restaurant, Home Made Liquids and Solids, in Longmont in 2009. Last year, it launched its Hops & Heifers Farm, where it raises cattle for the beef served in its restaurants and grows hops that go into its beer. It also launched REEB
What: Live music, beer specials, silent disco
Where: Oskar Blues Grill & Brew, 303 Main St., Lyons
A distillery -- Lyons Soul Distilling -- is working its way through the permitting process; a couple of more food venues are on tap for Longmont, loosely scheduled to open in 2013; and by the end of this year, Oskar Blues will have a new 30,000-square-foot brewery and adjacent 6,000-square-foot restaurant open in Brevard, N.C., a favorite mountain biking and relaxation spot of Katechis' for many years.
All of this is the result of what Katechis calls the "Canned Beer Apocalypse" -- his decision 10 years ago to be the first craft brewer in the country to put its beers in a can. That decision changed Katechis' life, and it changed the world of craft brewing.
'Seems like yesterday'
"I was a homebrewer on the weekend, and one of my customers was a homebrewer, so we started trading beers," Katechis said of his restaurant's early days.
In 1998, he bought some brewing equipment from a defunct brewery in California and started brewing beer in the basement of his restaurant. It was a small system, only making enough at first to sell on-site or to put in growlers patrons brought in.
He sold his first pint in the restaurant in July 1999, and later that year, Oskar Blues won a bronze medal at the Great American Beef Festival for its Reverend Sandi's Sinful Stout.
Katechis decided to put some of his beer into brown bottles, as all craft brewers did at that time, he said, and shopping them around to area liquor stores.
"We had three or four accounts," he said. "It was to drive people up to Lyons to visit our restaurant."
Katechis said he kept getting sales pitches -- via the fax machine -- from a Canadian company, Cask, that was pitching a canning system it made to small craft breweries such as his.
The thought of putting a "three-dimensional craft beer" into a can was, Katechis said, "a joke.
The Cask system used a two-head filler and a hand-cranked seamer.
"They were marketing these machines to craft brewers across the country and we were the first ones to bite," Katechis said.
What convinced him, he said, was when a Cask sales rep told him, "At least give me a couple of hours to walk you through Ball. We'll visit their R&D department, and I'll show you why the can is a superior package."
That walk-through at Broomfield-based can maker Ball Corp. opened his eyes, Katechis said. He came to realize that cans are portable, and often allowed where glass isn't; they keep out light, which is bad for beer; they're easily recyclable; and they're lighter and cheaper than bottles.
"There was a moment when the laughter stopped and we said, 'This makes sense,'" he said.
But it had still never been done before. Committing to putting the beer in cans would be a risky proposition.
"When we bought this machine (from Cask) we had to commit to buying 20 pallets of cans" -- 156,000 total, Katechis said.
In its attempt to market its small-batch canning systems to craft brewers, Cask had persuaded Ball to agree to produce smaller runs of cans, instead of the millions at a time it would usually make for Anheuser-Busch or Miller, and Ball had agreed.
"We have a special relationship with Oskar Blues," said Ball spokesman Scott McCarty. "Dale had the vision to look at cans as a method of packaging (craft beer). The only issue 10 or 11 years ago was that sort of lingering misconception of the consumer that somehow product in a can is inferior. And Dale worked hard to change that, and we worked closely with him on that."
So Katechis and his team began canning Dale's Pale Ale and shopping it around to area liquor stores.
"It seems like it was yesterday. I can remember walking out of these doors with trays of beers and loading them in the truck," Katechis said. "We knew that we wanted to be the ones to bring it out to retailers because it was such a far-fetched idea. ... We had no idea it was going to work."
Any question marks soon disappeared, he said.
"We didn't quite anticipate the reception we were going to get, so we ended up building a business inside a restaurant -- a production brewery business," Katechis said.
And that far-fetched idea? More than 200 craft brewers around the country now put their beers into cans.
"I think part of why it really worked right away was their attitude," said Paul Gatza, director of the Boulder-based Brewers Association. "They came at it like, 'This is going to be fun.' It was sort of that irreverent attitude that said, 'Let's do this crazy stuff because we can do this crazy stuff.'"
Besides the fact the beer was good, the portability, being able to put craft beer where it couldn't go before -- such as on golf courses, backpacking, local softball games, even on airplanes -- was a huge reason for the instant popularity, Gatza said.
"They found something that was creating opportunities for craft beer where there wasn't an opportunity before," he said.
Today, there's more than a half-dozen Oskar Blues brands, not counting the occasional seasonal beers or brews it collaborates with other craft brewers on. For some of those specialty runs, it still uses that two-head filler, but its new canning line in Longmont can run up to 280 cans per minute.
Other Colorado breweries soon followed Oskar Blues' lead, Gatza said, and then breweries around the country started paying attention.
"We now supply eight out of the top 10 craft breweries in the U.S.," McCarty said, adding that a recent in-house study Ball did found that it made the cans for about 350 different craft brew brands.
"A lot of people laughed for a long time, but we were kind of laughing too, loading up trucks and selling beer," Katechis said.
According to the Brewers Association, craft brewers' revenues were up 14 percent through the midway point of this year and volume was up 12 percent, compared with last year. Gatza said he thinks Oskar Blues can take some of the credit for the industry's growth because it took away the stigma of cans and showed smaller brewers an easier way to get their product on store shelves.
"It gave people the idea that they could access the off-premises market as well as their own brew pub," Gatza said.
Ball continues to be a strong partner
The partnership between Oskar Blues and Ball continues to be a strong one 10 years later. Recently, Ball started manufacturing a 19.2-ounce, resealable can and approached Oskar Blues about using it for a new size of Dale's Pale Ale.
"We're the only company in North America that's making that size," McCarty said. "It's a fairly popular size in Europe."
The Imperial Pint, as Katechis calls it, will be his company's gateway into getting into convenience stores around the country.
Aside from Oskar Blues becoming available for the first time this year in Katechis' home state of Alabama, it also rolled out into two other very important markets for the company, he said: Chicago and Ohio. Coinciding with the Ohio rollout, Katechis was summoned to a meeting with representatives from the country's largest grocery chain, which was expressing interest in his company's B. Stiff & Sons Old Fashioned Root Beer.
Introduced this year, the root beer was conceived as a tribute to Brian Stiff, a Lyons resident and friend of Katechis' who died unexpectedly at age 41 in February. The root beer comes in 16-ounce, resealable cans.
"We presented it to Kroger" -- parent company of King Soopers and City Market -- "two weeks ago in Cincinnati," Katechis said. "And they said 'We'll take it' -- 2,500 stores."

Yesterday, gossip site Gossip Center (it has gossip right in the title!) ran an item saying that Candice Crawford, girlfriend of Cowboys QB Tony Romo, was walking around sporting what appeared, to them, to be an engagement ring. And thus, for roughly seven seconds, there was a whole round of ZOMG! TONY GOT ENGAGED!!!111!!11 WHAT WILL JESS THINK? WILL SHE BE INVITED?!!! WILL SHE CURSE THE WEDDING?!!!
Anyway, if you visit the site, you will see a photo of the ring in question, and… really? That's supposed to be an engagement ring? Come on, Gossip Center. I expect a random gossip website to employ a bit more sourcing than that. That doesn't even look like an engagement ring. It looks like something you buy at a Renaissance Faire. Why, it's almost as if a gossip site is purposely spreading false rumors to boost their page tallies! WHY I NEVER!
The whole upshot of this is that Romo and Crawford are NOT engaged. A source close to us confirmed this when asked, and Crawford's boss at Channel 33 also shot down the rumor. So there's no truth to the matter at all. This is the part where you click BORED over on the mood-o-meter.
This is an annoying occurrence for any couple, famous or not, in their late twenties or early thirties. The second you start going out, everyone around you just sits there and stares at you, waiting for you to get engaged. "Are you engaged yet? Are you engaged yet? Are you engaged yet?" And it doesn't even end when you DO get engaged. No, then you get married, and the kid questions start. Then you have a kid, and the kid #2 questions start. It's out of hand in our culture. Engagements and babies are pushed on you like meth, and it's not right.
If I were Tony Romo and Candice Crawford, I'd flee to somewhere that's far more relaxed about such matters. Like France. Say what you will about the French, but at least they won't stare at your belly 12 hours day, searching for a bump.

Dear Friends:
Time for a Permanent Commission in to NYPD, IAB, and DA Corruption: Title 18.subsection 242.conspiring of rights.which is a felony that can land that detective behind bars for ten years. I was sent this -- is this applicable to Det John Vergona and his partner, Det Andy Dwyer his partner, supervisor Lt Angelos Burgos, supervisor Sgt Chen and all involved including in Internal Affairs? NYPD Internal Affairs DA want to do the crime do the time. Turn Broken Windows back on them!
NYPD committed Crimes in my Case and how many other cases?
http://nypdnewcommission.blogspot.com/2017/04/ray-kelly-charles-campisi-bratton.html They love using Ron Kuby's letter to pretend I was not coerced and the NYPD did not commit a pile up of crimes.
The Detectives in my case Det Vergona and Det Andy Dwyer, their partners, and supervisors and facebook friends NYPD PO Eugene Schatz aka Gene Schatz and Det Tommy Moran were party to the fact Verogna was lying in his DD5s and was going to verbally violently threaten me over the phone because the cowardly criminal detectives and supervisors did not have it in them to commit the crimes they committed and face me but they did use Ron Kuby's letter to pretend they dd not commit crimes and Internal Affairs has protected them along w/ top brass all party to retaliation.
I had respected the NYPD until NYPD PO Gene Schatz and his facebook friends Detective Andrew Dwyer and Det John Vergona, with their partners, and supervisors DI Ed Winski, Lt Angelo Burgos and Sgt Chen did a bait and switch downgrading their crimes and Delita HOOKS crimes to no crimes. Google Dr Fagelman assault and see Delita HOOKS in action but she wasn't done breaking laws and the NYPD detectives and supervisors joined in and did Dr Andrew Fagelman quite a favor since he did not fire his violent, manipulative attack receptionist and when a private investigator asked Dr Fagelman did you talk to the NYPD he said "no comment" aka he would implicate himself in the crimes of arranging for Delita HOOKS to walk in and commit a crime filing a false cross complaint and Dr Fagelman was party to even more crimes the face Det John VERGONA was going to violently threaten me over the phone with false arrest on a Saturday 4pm only for the utmost retaliation and even fabrication of crimes which Eric Garner outlines in his own case 4 years ago....
These corrupt evil people would teach be about the real NYPD and how they break laws, do fixing and favors and all these years Internal Affairs protected these crimes along with Corp Counsel Zachary Carter lied in my case and his predecessor before him.

Pocono Raceway has no way knowing or even guessing whether its extensive social media efforts have put one extra person in a seat at one of NASCAR's two yearly stops at the Long Pond track.
Pocono Raceway has no way knowing or even guessing whether its extensive social media efforts have put one extra person in a seat at one of NASCAR's two yearly stops at the Long Pond track.
Doesn't matter, track President Brandon Igdalsky said.
Whether the track ever proves one more dollar was spent because of social media, contests or any of the new marketing efforts it's undertaken over the last few years, he knows he has a more engaged fan base than in the past.
"There is just no way to judge by looking at the numbers," he said about translating Facebook likes and Twitter followers into paying customers. "We know we're getting them. They tell us."
Pocono Raceway has been one of NASCAR's industry leaders in social media efforts.
The track's Twitter page (@poconoraceway) ranks fourth for followers (39,847) among race tracks in the country, behind Daytona International Raceway (68,927), Indianapolis Motor Speedway (46,064) and Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee (41,588).
"But that's only because they have a race this weekend," Igdalsky said recently about the March 17 race at Bristol. "We go back and forth with them."
NASCAR officials said its tracks, as a whole, are well informed on the benefits and necessity of social media to help keep its fans informed.
The social media team at the NASCAR offices in Charlotte, N.C., said they haven't had to do much to encourage tracks to be active on social media.
"Tracks, teams, and drivers alike have embraced social media and are continuing to dedicate resources to their social activities," said NASCAR Chief Marketing Officer Steve Phelps.
Last year, a NASCAR-commissioned report at public relations firm Taylor in New York City concluded "digital is the key to the future for NASCAR."
Taylor's 2012 survey of 1,500 avid NASCAR fans showed almost four out of five between ages of 18 and 34 use social media to experience NASCAR, according to Taylor, and that Twitter use went up 35 percent among avid fans from 2011 to 2012.
Earlier this year, NASCAR unveiled its "Fan and Media Engagement Center" at its headquarters "to better understand fan conversations and optimize engagement with the social community," Phelps said.
"Stakeholders in the sport must provide a compelling mobile and social experience in order to remain relevant with these fans of the future," said Christian Alfonsi, Taylor's executive vice president of strategic planning.
Igdalsky said that message already was clear at Pocono Raceway, and said there is another benefit to social media: It's free.
The only budget Pocono Raceway has in social media is for a digital media employee.
That hasn't affected the marketing budget as a whole, which was reduced a few years ago, though that reduction had nothing to do with social media efforts.
"We saw the writing on the wall a few years back," Igdalsky said. "We saw the direction sports properties were taking, and we wanted to be ahead of the curve when the time came, so we dove into social media."
Igdalsky's personal Twitter account boasts 17,094 followers, nearly as much as NASCAR host tracks like Watkins Glen International (18,009).
While many people in the sports world often hire people to Tweet for them and respond to fans, Igdalsky said that's not his style. What you read on his Twitter page is actually him tweeting.
"No one else even has the log-in," he said. "I love that I can sit and watch a race and talk directly with fans who are doing the same thing and we can all talk about what's going on. It builds interest and it builds fan contact."
That was on display during the Budweiser Shootout the day before the Daytona 500 this year. Igdalsky had just left the track while the race was still going on that Saturday night in February when a car crash injured people in the crowd.
Even though Igdalsky wasn't there, he saw all the tweets and turned the TV on when he got back to his room.
"And I sat and went on Twitter, just like every other fan," he said. "Social media is fun to do with the fans. It gives us that personal one-on-one interaction we really can't get any other way. It's important to us, and it will stay that way."

2 March 2012, Geneva, Switzerland - The United Nations Human Rights Council received today the report of the Independent Commission of Inquiry on Libya. The report illustrates the findings of the Commission regarding the situation of human rights in Libya during the recent conflict. UNOSAT had been requested by the Commission to produce satellite imagery analysis in support of the fact finding mission conducted in Libya and also on several locations and episodes occurred during the combat operations in Libya. UNOSAT expert analys, gathered in a geospatial report annexed to the main report, ismentioned in 19 findings of the Commission.
On 25 February 2011, the United Nations Human Rights Council adopted resolution S-15/1 entitled "Situation of Human Rights in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya" which decided to dispatch an independent, international Commission of Inquiry. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) supported the Commission with a Secretariat which requested the support of UNOSAT for specialized satellite imagery analysis.
The mission of the Commission established by Resolution S-15/1 was to "investigate all alleged violations of international human rights law in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, establish the facts and circumstances of such violations and of the crimes perpetrated". Given the Security Council's referral of events in Libya to the International Criminal Court, the Commission also considered events in light of international criminal law.
A first report was submitted in June 2011 by the Commission. The Human Rights Council then extended the mandate of the Commission in light of the extensive and on-going allegations of abuses and requested the Commission to provide a second report at the Council's nineteenth session in March, 2012. This second report uses extensive analysis done by UNOSAT within the framework of its human security mapping service, initiated in 2010 thanks to a grant by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. The service specialized in analysis of violations of International Humanitarian Law and International Human Rights Law, which applied to the Libyan conflicts in various ways through the three phases that have characterized the conflict.
The Commission faced a number of significant challenges and had to face difficulties that prevented a return to the field until October 2011. Substantial investigations were possible only as of December 2011. There were also logistical difficulties in accessing places and individuals. Some of these were solved through the analysis of very high resolution imagery performed by UNOSAT based on imagery gathered through the new near real-time access to imagery acquired by UNOSAT with its new Data-in-Hand policy.
The report (A/HRC/19/68) can be accessed by visiting the Human Rights Council website. The UNOSAT report is published as Annex IV.

Phils hope for a better showing, as Lee returns to Cleveland
Cliff Lee will return to Cleveland and face his former club for the first time in almost four years when the Philadelphia Phillies aim for a split of a quick two-game series with the hosting Indians.
Keeping the Indians in the ballpark would be the first step for Lee.
Lee began his career with Cleveland in 2002 and won the American League Cy Young Award with the franchise in '08, when he went 22-3 with a 2.54 earned run average in 31 starts. However, the Indians dealt him to the Phillies prior to the trade deadline the following season, ending his seven-plus year tenure with the club.
The left-hander went 83-48 with a 4.01 ERA in 182 career starts with the Indians, including 178 starts.
"It's gonna be interesting. It's gonna be neat," Lee told his club's website about returning to Cleveland. "But I don't try to get too caught up in it. I'm just gonna try to go out there and focus on each pitch, each hitter and put up as many zeros as I can."
Lee is in the third season of his second stint with the Phillies, having been dealt to the Seattle Mariners prior to the start of the 2010 season before signing with Philadelphia as a free agent following the campaign. He is 2-1 with a 3.03 ERA through five starts this season, but winless since winning his first two outings.
Lee, 34, did not factor into the decision of a 6-4 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday, but was charged with three runs, a season-high 10 hits and just his fifth walk of the season while striking out seven. The Pirates rallied for a late win, scoring three times off the bullpen in the eighth inning.
The Indians did not need to rally in Tuesday's opener, clubbing seven home runs in a 14-2 rout. Five of those were two-run homers.
Ryan Raburn became the first Indians player since Travis Hafner in 2004 to have consecutive multi-homer games. Raburn hit his first two homers of the season in Monday's win over the Kansas City Royals and added a pair of two-out homers last night.
"Sometimes you're gonna have nights like these and other nights we're gonna be on the other end. We just got to go out there, have fun, play hard and hopefully that night falls our way," Raburn said.
Cleveland has plated 33 runs and allowed just five over a three-game winning streak. Carlos Santana and Mark Reynolds set the tone in the first inning versus the Phillies with two-run homers and Zach McAllister was able to cruise through seven innings. He did yield solo homers to Delmon Young and Chase Utley, but only allowed three other hits in the win.
After three strong starts, Roy Halladay was pounded for eight runs and nine hits over 3 2/3 innings. He served up three of Cleveland's seven homers.
"I don't know how you stop them. Everything they hit was hard," said Philadelphia manager Charlie Manuel, whose club was coming off a three-game sweep of the New York Mets.
A bright spot for the Phillies was Young, who went 2-for-3 and homered in his first at-bat in his season debut after missing the first 26 games while recovering from right ankle surgery. Ryan Howard went 1-for-4 to extend his hitting streak to 11 games.
In need of a spot starter, the Indians will turn to 22-year-old Trevor Bauer.
Bauer will make his second start of the season and the sixth of his career, though it will be his first in the majors since control problems plagued him on April 6 in Tampa. He took a 6-0 loss and walked seven batters over five innings, charged with two hits and three runs versus the Rays.
The right-hander was then sent to Triple-A Columbus, where he has gone 1-0 with a 2.50 ERA in three starts, walking six and striking out 24 in 18 innings.
The third overall pick of the 2011 draft by Arizona, Bauer went 1-2 with a 6.06 ERA in four starts last season with the Diamondbacks.
Cleveland's Nick Swisher did not play in Tuesday's opener due to a sore left shoulder and with an off day looming on Thursday he could be held out of the lineup again tonight.
Philadelphia swept the Indians the last time these teams met back in 2010.

Customer Reviews
Nice material and amazing art!
Amazing art. I loved it. I got the angel skin and it was a lot softer than I thought. The sheen wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Only reason for 4 stars is there was a minor tear in one of the seams. Thankfully, I am proficient enough to patch a simple seam tear so it was not enough for me to warrant contacting customer service. Otherwise, I love this cover. I plan on getting more!

Claims that Ellicott City is haunted are old hat. The historic mill town dates to the 1700s, is the subject of a new paranormal book and offers ghost tours. It has survived hurricanes, devastating floods, fires and hooligans - making it an ideal setting for ominous, history-infused tales.
So ideal that Trip Advisor has just named Ellicott City to its list of 10 spooky American getaways to celebrate Halloween. The travel guide website includes it among such infamous U.S. haunts as Sleepy Hollow, N.Y., Roswell N.M. and Salem, Mass.
It's perfect timing for those who want to learn about the town's haunted history. Howard County Tourism offers a variety of ghost tours that are especially popular at this time of year. Visitors can choose the Ye Haunted History of Olde Ellicott City Tour or the Dare to Taste The Spirits of Ellicott City or Ghost Walks in Historic Savage Mill.
If taking a walking tour is just too scary, you can read about the town's past in "The Ghosts of Ellicott City," by paranormal researcher Russ Noratel, who lives in Elkridge. In the book, Noratel talks about hauntings with residents and the owners and employees of businesses along Ellicott City's historic Main Street.
The town has been marked by tragedy linked to Tropical Storm Agnes, the flood of 1868, Lincoln assassin John Wilkes Booth, public hangings and much, much more.
Trip Advisor describes Ellicott City as "full of fright." It goes on to detail some spooky highlights: "Paranormal activity has been reported at the Lilburn mansion as tragedy struck the families who lived there. Also nearby is the former Patapsco Female Institute on Church Road, reportedly occupied by the ghost of a young girl who died of pneumonia. The partially rebuilt institution is now a historical site that offers community events including a Halloween tour for travelers."
Other destinations on the list include: Anoka, Minn. ("The Halloween Capital of the World"); Tombstone, Ariz. ("The Town Too Tough to Die"); Alton, Illinois ("Most Haunted City in America"); Monticello, Fla. (site of the "Old hanging Tree"); Jefferson, Texas (spirit of Diamond Bessie known to steal jewels); and Adams, Tenn. (home to the Bell Witch, who attacked people in their sleep.)

A winner was selected from 80 designs submitted by 16 freelance designers.

Microsoft Staff-Only White Xbox One up for Auction on eBay
A beautiful, white Xbox One console has found itself onto eBay and is set at an immensely high price.
VG247 reported that a white, staff-only Xbox One console is currently on eBay for a "Buy it Now" price set at $2,699.95. Those wishing to see the bid history for the console can check its official eBay listing. As these specific consoles were only offered to a limited number of people, the pool from which this rare Xbox One came from is rather small. One can only guess Microsoft is none to pleased to see such a gift being offered for this magnificent sum.
When the Xbox One launched this past November, Microsoft staff members were each given one of these exclusive consoles. On the system itself is a special engraving which states "I Made This, Launch Team 2013." If these exclusive consoles could play Crunchyroll and the WWE Network, we'd actually think about it.

Ryan Landry's newest musical, "Greece," is a mash-up about the Olympian pantheon of gods and goddesses, grafted onto the 1978 film, "Grease."
The playwright, actor, theatrical wizard and provocateur, Ryan Landry is at it again – this time romping through ancient Athens. His newest musical, "Greece," is a mash-up about the Olympian pantheon of gods and goddesses, grafted onto the 1978 film, "Grease." Edith Hamilton who wrote the book that catalogued the Greek gods and goddesses, never taught us this version.
Like the other Landry concoctions, produced by his troupe the Gold Dust Orphans, the two-hour-long frolic is hilarious, sweetly pornographic, and a gift to his adoring fans. Men in drag – check; off-color jokes – check; and even a spot-on imitation of President Trump's pouting by Tim Lawton (who also appears as Hades and serves as musical director) that brought on ever-increasing waves of laughter at last weekend's opening performance.
"Greece" rides on the notion that Zeus ( Larry Coen, brandishing a scowl and gilt-wrapped thunderbolts, and co-director of the show) decides to punish his wayward daughter, Cassandra (Sandy for short – get it?), by sending her to the place that "spoiled teenagers" consider Hell, a public high school. Rather than dressed in bobby sox, loafers and pleated skirts, the girls she meets are decked out in Athenian-style, short chitons. The bare-chested boys have similar attire.
Sandy (Taryn Cagnina) falls for Danny Zeuso (a terrific newbie in the troupe, MacMillan Leslie), the bisexual heart throb who later admits to "being straight" and in love with Sandy. The various Greek gods and goddesses are intertwined – Landry as a gorgeous Venus in a blond wig, Qya Marie as the full-voiced, take-charge Aphrodite, Michael Underhill as Danny's flirty pal, Icarus, and Sarah Jones as Hera, the wife of Zeus who transforms into the high school phys ed teacher with a name that's unprintable in a family newspaper.
What passes for a plot includes a strung out series of obstacles and confrontations such as sacrificing a virgin – Sandy – to a monster and sending Danny off to slay Medusa and bring back her bloody head (don't ask). The action frisks along, interspersed by a succession of numbers performed by the Glitterpuss Dancers: Gabriel Nesser (also the choreographer), Holly Bourdon and Matt Kyle, always in change of costumes.
Despite the bare-bones surroundings in the basement of the nightclub, Machine on Boylston Street, home-base for Gold Dust Orphans, the show is a spectacle, all the more impressive because of the need for ingenuity in staging and décor. Resident designer, Scott Martino (also appearing as Pandora Spox), turns out ever more outrageous costumes for the performers and a variety of special effects that include puppets of every shape and hue and tiny clones of the characters with their own special playing space, helped by Brian Riordan and enhanced by Michael Clark Wonson's lighting.
Landry writes the lyrics, ghosting off melodies from composers as varied as Andrew Lloyd Webber and the rock 'n' roll song-smiths, even trading his blond wig for a black head of hair to warble a number from the Elvis Presley hit parade.
Never mind that the presentation style is a combination of scenery-chewing acting and shtick that was antique in vaudeville and silent film, Landry continues to discover some of the best musical theater performers in town. This cast is led by Cagnina, Lawton, Marie, with Leslie and Vanessa Calantropo as Brizzo who are welcome newcomers to the troupe. Landry has done it again. "Greece" is as carefully crafted a production as you'll see on any of the stages in town, and certainly more fun than many of them.
GREECE Presented by Gold Dust Orphans. At: Machine, 1254 Boylston St., Boston, May 4-June 4. $39.99-$100, www.brownpapertickets.com

Hello 3Ice i have used your sliding trigger in my map, and made 5 types of ice. It actually works, but the game crashed once. I think theres a memory leak somewhere, could you find it? By the way i dont know a shit Jass. I know i have too many H unit groups and i will change that when i get time. The triggers are probably very "ineffective", all help will be appriciated.
EDIT: Spelling mistakes.
EDIT2: I have run into (yet) another problem with my map. I have some units with the "Wander (Neautral)" ability and "Lucust", and i want them to stay inside a specifik region. When i put pathing blockers (Air) around, they simply walk through them (They have moving type "fly"). If i remove "Locust" they stay inside the region, but i dont want them to be selectable.

|Battle of Helm's Deep
Helm's Deep was a large valley gorge in the north-western Ered Nimrais (White Mountains) below the Thrihyrne. It was actually the name of the whole defensive system including its major defensive structure, the Hornburg.
Geography and description
The valley was blocked over its entire width by the trench and rampart called Helm's Dike and behind that lay the fortress Súthburg, which extended to the Deeping Wall built across the entrance to the Glittering Caves and consisted of solid rock except for a small culvert which allowed water from the Deeping-stream (coming out from the Deep) to pass; this rendered a fresh supply in sieges of great length.
A long causeway wound up to the great gate of the fortress itself. Inside the keep there were stables and an armoury, as well as a great hall in the rear which was dug out of the mountainside.
Originally the valley was home to a small Gondorian regiment, but after Calenardhon became Rohan it became an encampment of the Rohirrim of the Westfold, where the guards of the Fords of Isen lived.
During the war with the Dunlendings under Wulf, the Rohirrim under King Helm Hammerhand and many of his people sought refuge in the keep, where they held out during the Long Winter of T.A. 2758–2759. Helm and his horn gave their names to the features of the Deep.
During the War of the Ring the fortress guarding Helm's Deep again became the refuge of some of the Rohirrim, now under King Théoden, and the Battle of the Hornburg was fought there.

Fit Jump kicked my mildly fit behind. A backyard bounce session with your bestie this is not.
Fit Jump kicked my mildly fit behind. A backyard bounce session with your bestie this is not.
The circuit-style workout takes place mostly on a floor made of 20 rectangular trampolines surrounded by walls of more trampolines. Each member of the class takes a tramp and performs an exercise listed on a note card taped to it. They perform the exercise for 55 seconds and then rotate to the next trampoline.
Fifty-five seconds is a great time frame; it is long enough to really push yourself to maximize the workout but short enough to not intimidate you. Before I knew it we were done and I was dripping in sweat and feeling tough. The bounce added a control element to exercises like planks and arm digs.
The end of the workout included running and jumping from a trampoline into a pit of foam blocks (fun!) and additional circuit floor work with more traditional equipment such as undulation ropes. -Jackie Mantey

Thousands of Tunisians call on gov't to resign
TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — Thousands of Tunisians demonstrated Saturday night in front of their national assembly kicking off a week of planned protests to call for the resignation of the Islamist-led government.
The assassination of a left-wing politician in July - the second such killing in five months - has plunged the country into a political crisis with the opposition accusing the government of failing to maintain security or restart the economy.
A coalition of opposition parties, known as the National Salvation Front, is calling for a new government of technocrats to run the country and organize new elections.
"We tried you, you failed, now leave," chanted protesters in the first demonstration of what is being called the "week of departure" for the government.
The protest began with a rendition of the national anthem led by the dozens of opposition members of the assembly that have frozen their participation in the elected body in protest of the government. Many were surrounded by bodyguards in response to death threats.
Police monitoring the demonstration checked people's bags, but there were none of the clashes or tear gas that have marred past protests.
Tunisia's main labor union has been mediating between the Islamists and the opposition. Ennahda said Thursday it accepted in principle a proposal to form a technocratic government, but only after further negotiations.
The opposition has condemned the Islamists' move as just a stalling tactic and maintained that dissolving the government was a prerequisite for further talks.
"The opposition is determined to say no to any negotiations before the current government is dissolved," said Karima Souid, a member of the left-of-center Al-Massar party. "We call for a government of public salvation to manage the country's affairs and carry out free and fair elections, without fear."
Tunisia was the birthplace for the Arab Spring pro-democracy uprisings when it overthrew long-ruling President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in January 2011. Its subsequent rocky transition to democracy, which has included political assassinations, terrorist attacks and social unrest over a faltering economy, has been closely watched internationally.
With its educated and largely middle class population of 10 million, Tunisia is seen as having the best chance of becoming a functioning democracy - especially following the recent coup in Egypt.
