you can find the latest on this map we have here. it is all on our website abc7news.com and on the abc 7 news app. but the big question, lisa, is when is it going to clear up, this smoke? it's so eerie outside. >> maybe later tomorrow, yes. when we're looking at a pattern change as we get into next week. that's several days away and we have a pretty strong onshore push -- well, i should say the fog. and we're looking at limited visibility, so that is mixing with the fog, improving the air quality somewhat out there, but you know overall it's bad, it's unhealthy and this is the 26th spare the air alert and continues through monday. here's a look at live doppler 7 where you can see the fog right along the shoreline there, and as we look further we're going to notice that there's a system offshore. and that system is going to alow for some of that mixing. so let's see if i canads vance
that. yeah, if you look to the west there you'll notice there's just a little bit of a sigtu there, and t going to be an area of low pressure that's going to hopefully clean out our atmosphere. so our dense fog advisory continues to 9:00 this morning. it is very foggy out there. 53 degrees right now in san mateo, 52 redwood city and 54 in daly city. so do be careful, looking at the fog all over the bay area up to about 2,000 feet, and that will be allowing for a very gray start, and we'll see that smoke layer get a little more diffuse out there. we still have a few shadows out there yesterday from the sun. overall not a whole lot of change. it warmed up, though, yesterday as that sun tries to fight through that smoke layer and marine layer. i think we'll warmup, but look at this visibility right now. 0 half moon bay, petaluma, 0.8 oakland, and 1 mile in livermore, a mile and a half. so certainly it's going to take
a while to see and plan conditions. as we look at our current air quality this is what i mean with that air quality in place bringing in some fresher air at the surface here. you can see we're green everywhere except throught pret unhealthy air. we're talking about a fog advisory this morning and better air quality later tomorrow as that system offshore gets kicked closer to the coast. and as that does that'll increase our onshore flow, and that's going to help the air quality and allow that smoke to be pushed a little bit further away from us. so mild conditions and hazy skies through the weekend. that'll continue for sure today, and getting some impacts from this and that system offshore as we get closer to tomorrow afternoon when we get that better mixing. here's your saturday. it looks like it's clear but we know bet, right? we'll have that smoke layer. and looking at our sunday morning better fog making it all the way to our east bay. and then as it pulls back we'll
see limited sun but i think we'll see that better air quality right around the corner and increasing through the week ahead. here's another look what's ahead for your wednesday and thursday. a chance of showers up towards northern california that will slide south down into the north bay and that hopefully will allow us to maybe put a lot of this smoke behind us but not for today. looking at 69 in san francisco. hazy all throughout the bay area. that unhealthy air continues right now. it's not too bad out there. the accuweather seven day forecast looking at temperatures coming up a little bit day to day, and that is because we'll see less of that smoke out there, and into next week feeling like a bit of fall is in the air, liz. so there is definitely some hope out there, so don't get too bummed out. i know i was very bummed out. yeah, the atmosphere is going to continue to mix and, you know,

second half of the weekend. that sun is going to try its best to beat through and it was warmer yesterday. it's going to continue to be a little bit warmer today. i think we'll see some low 80s in our inland valleys, 70s elsewhere, and not a lot of mixing at the coast, so that means it's going to stay gray. we'll talk about the improvements, how we're going to get there and whether they'll last into the week ahead, and it's all looking pretty promising. >> it isn't just california experiencing wildfires, but dozens of other fires are burning to the north in oregon and in washington state. at least 19 people have died with the death toll only expected to rise. in oregon half a million residents are in vacation zones. abc news reporter ty with more. >> reporter: this morning the death toll expected to rise. residents there still frantically racing to escape. 1 out of 10 oregon residents now inbb ema who fear they

quality index was just below 200. anything over that number and they're forced to cancel. as the 49ers homeowner rapidly approaches the team may have to consider pushing their game to monday in hopes for better air. >> my understanding if the gets to 200 that's when the nfl will really start discussing what to do with the game. i don't think that's my decision at all. i know it's not, thank goodness. so we'll see what happens. hopefully it won't get there, hopefully it'll be safe but got to see what the wind does. >> it's orange out here. it's weird. everything been weird 2020 but we've got to execute. we've got to go out there and execute and win. >> reporter: to the nba, game 7 for the celtics and raptors, toronto struggling throughout but take the lead late in the third. and the raptors bench, they were loving it. boston on the run, jalen brown with a dunk. he had 21, and that looked like it hurt, but he would stay in the game. final minute toronto down two,
norman powell on the run but marcus smart with a huge block. and the celtics go onto win 4-3. they'll face miami in the east finals. i hope you have a wonderful weekend, everybody. all right, let's get a check of the weather now with lisa argen. lisa, i really hope it clears out tomorrow night because i don't know how much longer we can take this. >> i know. i definitely agree it's been horrible and depressing on top of it, but we do see signs of improvements, and that's due to a weather system offshore. here's live doppler 7 we do have a dense fog advisory and visibility pretty reduced out there. this is what i want to show you. there's a little signature out here, an area of low pressure. and the winds are going to increase, more low clouds and fog, so a stronger onshore push. and eventually that system coming to the north of us,
joining forces with another system, and that should have a big impact on our smoke. right now the dense fog advisory along the shoreline here, and it is really foggy out there. right now temperatures in the upper 50s to near sunnyvale, how about that 48 in novato. visibility all over the place is really bad. anywhere from you can't see a thing from petaluma to half moon bay and across the richmond san rafael brirj the bay bridge. down to 0.8 whereas the east bay has about 1 to 2aybo that fog we have the smoke and then some mixing going on with it. so the air quality, don't open your windows yet. in fact, keep them closed. you'll see a bit of sunlight coming through. it should be kind of hazy out there once again and without a lot of mixing and that sea breeze setting up in the
afternoon. we're not going to do much to disperse the smoke layer. we need that afternoon sun or i should say the late morning sun to initiate that sea breeze and doesn't look like it's going to happen. uz whet ack chehe mixed with th quitnot today but the second half of your weekend as that low gets closer and we get some stronger winds. it'll be mild and hazy through the next several days. there's the fog. not much of an impact today as it pulls back. but as we get into your latesied and sunday, look at the fog that makes its way across the bay, and look at some better air quality by later in the day, that system offshore begins to get a little bit closer. so looking forward to that. and can we look forward to any rain? looks like most of the activity will be here in the pacific northwest, and we could see a few stray showers, perhaps a few sprinkles as early as wednesday into extreme northern california, maybe the north bay as we get into thursday.
but really falls apart. but looks like, yes, things are changing, and we certainly have some better air to look forward to. as weit thi current overhead, w get unhealthy out there but try to stay indoors. with 76 in san jose. we've got some low 80s inland, so it warmed up yesterday, and that air quality not great, but member a smidge better than your friday, the accuweather seven day forecast looking at hazy conditions through monday. that spare the air alert through monday. and as we get into the middle of next week it's going to feel a little warmer as we get into more sun, less smoke come tuesday maybe some drizzle on wednesday, and that slight chance of showers in the north bay coming into play on thursday. so we've got to hang in there, liz. >> we really do. all right, let's hope next week at this time we're talking about something totally different. crossing fingers. okay, a moment of unity against racism helped kick off the nfl season opener on
thursday, bullet some fans did not approve. some fans booed the moment at the texans-chiefs game. it comes as sports leagues try to reconcile how to deal with race and social justice issues. abc 7 news is focused on these issues, too, as part of our efforts to build a better bay area. in oakland one group is trying to bring a first of its kind black owned nfl team to the city. ansar hassan has more. >> our community is in a position where we are huge consumers. and it's time for us to become owners. >> reporter: ray is the founder of african-american sports and entertainment group. they want a black owned nfl team. >> we see that nobody wants to just stop this thing at the protest and our voices. we want to see the process of participation and equity be realized. >> reporter: the group sent a letter to the nfl in june and got a favorable rh a framework how to move forward.
they're considering a community owned model like that of the green bay packers. one option is joint ownership with the oakland a's, another to build a new stadium. either way he says oakland just makes sense given its nfl history. >> it would be an opportunity for us to actually come to the table and inject and revisit and reassembly the african-american dollar back into our community. >> reporter: this multibillion dollar plan means building up the surrounding area. they envision an education and convention center, museum and longer-term, more housing. >> anytime an african-american can control and own major portions of of real estate it puts us in a better position to do great things for the community. >> reporter: if approved it would still be several years before a team playspp like the oakland black chamber of commerce, several unions and city government. just in burton a spokesperson for oakland mayor libby shaft

Magnetometry and electromagnetic (EM) induction technologies have long been used to survey former military sites for buried munitions as part of evaluation and cleanup efforts. In 2009, ESTCP, with input from representatives of the services, state and federal regulators, and the National Association of Ordnance Contractors (NAOC), formalized a Geophysical System Verification (GSV) process by which these geophysical technologies are rigorously evaluated for performance. The GSV process replaces the traditional Geophysical Prove-Out (GPO) process by streamlining and enhancing physics-based evaluations.
The geophysical data collection process is evaluated through two main GSV components: the Instrument Verification Strip (IVS) and the Blind Seeding Program. The IVS provides daily feedback about the operational performance of technologies to detect known targets. The Blind Seeding Program emplaces targets at unknown locations to provide ongoing monitoring of the quality of the data collection and the target selection process for geophysical technologies throughout the project.
A GSV Final Report was originally released in July 2009, and documented the overall GSV evaluation process for magnetometry and EM (Geonics EM61-MK2) technologies, including the IVS and the Blind Seeding Program. One of the key components of this report was the recommendation of standard munitions surrogates (termed industry standard objects or ISOs) for use in the IVS and as blind seeds. In September 2015, an addendum to the Final Report was released that expanded the ISO recommendations to include surrogates appropriate for the advanced sensors MetalMapper, TEMTADS 2X2, and MPV, as well as a surrogate for 20-mm projectiles. These additions will expand the range of sites and sensors for which the ISOs are useful.

Calling all City fans
Coventry City's record at Rochdale is less than impressive - in three outings to Spotland, City have played three, lost three.
Get the Sky Blues transfer latest, team news, match updates and analysis delivered straight to your inbox
The old Division Three North game in 1926 set the ball rolling, with Rochdale winning 4-1.
A shock 2-1 win in the FA Cup in 1971 continued the trend and things were rounded off in 1991 with a 1-0 Worthington Cup win (although City won the second leg of that tie and went through).
Now we want to hear from Coventry fans who have witnessed their team's sorry record at Rochdale over the years.
No doubt plenty remember the 1991 defeat, but were you there when City's slickers were undone on a Monday in 1971? And do you know of anyone still alive who recalls the thrashing of 1926?
Anyone with a story to tell should email davewardale@iccoventry.net before Saturday's Cup game with a few details and, ideally, a telephone number so we can get back to you.

Eugene Rousseau (Blue Island, Illinois, 1932. augusztus 23. –)  Amerikában élő klasszikus szaxofonista. A mai klasszikus szaxofonozás egyik legkiemelkedőbb alakja mind szólókarrierjét, mind pedagógiai munkásságát tekintve. Elsősorban alt- és tenorszaxofonon játszik.

Tanulmányai, karrierje
Rousseau Chicagóban, a Northwestern University zenei főiskoláján tanult, majd az iowai egyetemen szerzett doktori címet Himie Voxman tanítványaként. 1960-ban Fulbright ösztöndíjjal a párizsi konzervatóriumban tanult Marcel Mule kezei alatt.

Ő volt az 1969-ben megrendezett első szaxofonos világkongresszus egyik alapítója és szervezője. Ez a kongresszus fordulópontot jelentett a szaxofon történetében, innentől kezdve tekintik a hangszert a zenei kifejezés komoly médiumának. 2005-ben Rousseau a Minneapolisban megrendezett XIII. szaxofon világkongresszus szervezőbizottságának elnöke volt. Az észak-amerikai szaxofon szövetség életre szóló tagsággal tüntette ki.

1970 óta kaphatók a nevével fémjelzett fúvókák. 1972 óta a Yamaha kutató tanácsadója, azóta kizárólag Yamaha hangszeren játszik.

Pedagógiai munkássága
Rousseau 36 évig tanított a indianai egyetemen 1964 és 2000 között. Számos tanítványa szintén ismert pedagógus lett, többek között Otis Murphy, aki az egyetemi katedrán követte. 2000 óta a minnesotai egyetemen tanít.

1991 óta évente egyszer a salzburgi Mozarteumban tart mesterkurzust.

Írásai
Számos kiadvány kapcsolódik Rousseau nevéhez, többek között Marcel Mule életrajza Marcel Mule: sa vie et le saxophone címmel.

Két módszertani könyvet is írt, az angol, német és japán nyelven kiadott The E. Rousseau Beginning Saxophone Method címűt, és az angolul, franciául és németül megjelent Saxophone High Tones-t.

Számos szaxofonra átírt művet is publikált.

Felvételek
Rousseau számos felvétele beszerezhető CD-n. Dolgozott együtt többek között a bécsi Haydn Trióval, a Budapesti Vonósokkal és a Winds of Indiana zenekarral. Legutóbb az Új Budapest Vonósnégyessel készített albumot.

Saxophone Concertos, 1971-ben adta ki a Deutsche Grammophon, ez volt az első lemez, ami kizárólag szaxofon koncerteket tartalmazott. Az album 1998-ban CD-n is megjelent.
Saxophone Vocalise (Delos 3188), melyen Rousseau a Winds of Indiana zenekarral játszik, Frederick Fennell vezényletével, többek között Bruch, Gershwin, Heiden, Massenet, Muczynski és Puccini darabokat adnak elő.
Celebration (McGill), melyen Rousseau a Gerald Danovitch szaxofonkvartettel szerepel.
Eugene Rousseau with the Haydn Trio of Vienna (RICA-1003)

Saxophone Masterpieces (RICA-1001), melyen Roussean Jaromir Klepac zongoraművésszel szerepel.
Mr. Mellow (Liscio), melyen Rousseau az ER Big Band zenekarral játszik.
Meditation From Thais (ALCD-7021), melyen Rousseau különféle méretű szaxofonokon játszik komolyzenei darabokat.
Tsunagari (Liscio), melyen Rousseau a zágrábi szaxofonkvartettel játszik.
The Royal Band of the Belgian Air Force Eugene Rousseau soloist, Alain Crepin conductor/soloist (Jeanné Digital Recordings), melyen Rousseau a belga légierő zenekarával és Alain Crepin-nel játszik.
The New Budapest Quartet, Eugene Rousseau soloist (Jeanné Digital Recordings), melyen Rousseau és az Új Budapest Vonósnégyes Brahms és Mozart darabokat ad elő.

Rousseau számára írt zeneművek
Több jól ismert klasszikus szaxofondarabot írtak Rousseau számára, többek között a következőket:
Partita, írta Juan Orrego-Salas
Sonata for alto saxophone and piano, írta Jindrich Feld
Solo, írta Bernhard Heiden

Oh wow-April's almost over already! For this last Tuesday of April, I'm giving you an amazing book. At first, I just had it on my Kindle as a library book, but I liked it so much that I bought it! Pretty creepy, though. BE WARNED.
For years, unbeknownst to the inhabitants of Biltmore Estate, Serafina and her pa haved lived in the basement, undetected. Serafina's only purpose up until now was catching rats-which she did quite skillfully and in stride. But after witnessing the kidnapping (and quite possible killing) of a child by a man (or maybe not a man at all…) in a black cloak, she realizes that something has gone dreadfully wrong. Soon, other children, many related to the inhabitants of Biltmore Estate. After joining up with Braeden, Biltmore's owner's nephew, she discovers shocking secrets that will lead her to the man in the black cloak-and to who her true parents were. Can Serafina stop the Man in the Black Cloak?
I totally loved this book, and I am currently restringing myself from spewing out the spoilers to you. But I have a heart, so for now I'll keep my mouth shut. Enjoy the rest of your April!
Hi guys! Like my last post? If so, thanks. Here's your book review! (HELP ME! I'M HAVING AN ATTACK OF CHEERFULNESS!!
Hope is a normal girl in White Rock, a city recovering from the horrors of World War III.The only thing that isn't normal is that she has always failed at inventions. After failing again, she discovers that bandits will invade. The people of White Rock have invented a life-saving medicine, and the bandits want it for themselves. Can Hope save the medicine, her father, and White Rock before it's too late?
I just finished this about a day ago. And the funny thing was that in the book, there's a big blizzard that gets in Hope's way-and there was a blizzard here that produced over three feet of snow at our house! How weird is that? Well, heck. It's CO.
To escape a sickness in America, Meg Morgan and her three siblings go to a town in England to stay with their great-great aunt and uncle. But little do they know that their home and the surrounding areas are home to hundreds of mythical creatures. When Meg's older brother Rowan is forced to compete in the Midsummer War, Meg must save his life and keep him from fighting and put hers at stake. Can she bring her brother back?
I enjoyed this book-FAIRIES! FAIRIES! MORE FAIRIES! YAY! Random. Hah, goodbye.
So yeah. For future readers, the Mesopotamian Blue is not a real cat. But…NOBODY CARES!
This story follows Varjak, a purebred Mesopotamian Blue. He is shunned by his family because his eyes aren't the correct color for the breed. But one day, the Gentleman and his twin black cats invade the house, and Varjak escapes and leaves his family behind. Now outside, he must find his way home through the city, with dangerous cat gangs and the infamous Sally Bones on the loose. Can Varjak come back home and save his family?
For all cat people (and dog people too, I guess. There is a funny little dg in this book), this is the book for you! Meow! Randomness!


When those premium bills arrive, people get a little irksome. After all, no one wants to have to pay a bill. It is simply not a pleasurable experience. Then again, if one thinks about it, car insurance provides such a valuable service, paying the monthly premiums should come as a form of piece of mind.
Car insurance is never something to be taken lightly because it provides the safety umbrella of financial security that is required when driving a car. Often, people take the need for insurance for granted because they generally do not have problems driving. In honestly, the vast majority of drivers in the world are sane and safe divers.
Yes, there are a great many reckless drivers on the road, but their numbers are dwarfed by the magnitude of responsible drivers. While this makes for an image of safe roads and hi-ways, it does not mean that there is 100% safety. In fact, there is always the chance of an errant accident.
While we do not like to think about it, the fact remains that there can be a great deal of damage to person as well as property. Additionally, we try to avoid thinking about the tremendous financial liability costs that may result from such a situation. This is why car insurance should never be taken for granted as it provides the financial means to survive a liability claim.
Conversely, it does not have to be your car insurance policy that provides you with the financial windfall that will divert economic disaster in the face of a liability claim. How can this be? Because if the other driver is at fault and is properly insured, then you will be able to collect money that you would never had been able to collect if the driver was uninsured. Hence, this is why car insurance in mandatory by law.
That little notion about the law is something that should never be overlooked either. Driving without car insurance could lead to suspension of driving privileges and, in some instances, heavy fines or even jail time. As one can see, the state and local governments take matters of properly maintaining one's insurance responsibility seriously. It is simply not an area that should be neglected.
Maintaining proper car insurance requirements essentially is an act of protection. Follow your responsibilities and you not only protect yourself, but also those on the road. Be mindful and never neglectful.

Do you believe in 'signs from the universe', or are such occurrences simply a coincidence?
Conversely, when your thoughts, feelings and actions are moving at a high vibrational frequency, life will line up perfectly. You will have excellent timing and good luck all day long.
Life and the universe have a funny way of bringing us to the exact people, places, circumstances and messages that our souls are calling for at the right time. This phenomenon of seemingly meaningful coicindences is called "synchronicity". It's like a wink from the cosmos, a nudge from above to let us know that we're on the right path.
When you live your life with an appreciation of coincidences and their meanings, you connect with the underlying field of infinite possibilities. This is when the magic begins. This is a state I call synchrodestiny, in which it becomes possible to achieve the spontaneous fulfillment of our every desire. Synchrodestiny requires gaining access to a place deep within yourself, while at the same time awakening to the intricate dance of coincidences out in the physical world.


During the 1970's and 1980's "Dottie and Friends" played Country music in and around Yarmouth. They appeared many times at the Hootananny's at the Clipper Ship Beverage Room and Saturday nights at the Yarmouth Legion.
Dottie and Friends also played many Legions along the North and South shore. They appeared on the local cablethon for the Kaye Nickerson Centre.

Radea did not intend I should be kept waiting. His aide passed me through into the Primus's office the moment I entered the principia.
Radea glanced up. "Ah, Aquilla."
He set one stack of papers aside and moved another in front of him. When I saluted him, he waved me to a seat. I slumped down, unbuckled my plume, and sat with it in my lap.
Despite his wiry frame, he impressed me as being too large for his office, and as meaning to burst out of it the moment he had the chance, like a butterfly escaping the chrysalis.
Together with him, his office had captured the morning heat, and the camp's smells were encapsulated, too, along with those peculiar to administration. The lingering scent of melted wax that always evoked my early childhood. Papers so tinder-dry they smelt scorched. The brooding anxiety of the men brought before the Twelfth's Primus Pilus.
He peered at me across his paper mountain range. "Aquilla of Numidia."
"Aquilla, It has been brought to my attention that, ah--" He coughed. His uneasiness belied my initial impression of him. "That's . . . That's a rather impressive plume, centurion."
I held it up. "I like 'em big."
"It is big, yes. And colorful. But we do have standards, you know."
"Yes, Primus." I put the plume back in my lap.
"Speaking of standards, you just became Eagle bearer."
"Usually the Eagle is carried aloft on a pole, not strung about the neck on a gold chain."
"It's my blingus."
"Blingus, Aquilla?"
"Aquilla is my slave name. The boys call me Quinquaginta Denarius."
"And about your new marching song." He looked down at a paper and began to read. "Yo Britain, Yo Gaul; The Roman homeys takes it all; Don't dis us, our God is Marsz; And we'sz comin' now ta put a pilum in yo asz."
"I wrote it myself. Do you dig it?"
Radea sniffed and slowly nodded. "Fo shizzle ma nizzleum."
Opening: BuffySquirrel.....Continuation: ril
"It's time for your three-sixty, seven sigma review. I see here that you have a dozen soldiers replies and four supervisors. As you know, the papyrus have been summarized by Miss Spumoni, our chief scribe and will be filed in the Pontifex Prefectorius' office." Radea's smile revealed the greasy teeth of sad food they served administrators.
"I understand." Aquilla shifted. His plume rested awkward in his lap.
"You score is 37 out of 45 and three quarters and most comments are well stated and favor you. For instance, 'I kiss the ground he walks on' is balanced by 'Radea is as ass-kissing weasel'. Overall however, this is a good review. It will earn you a bonus at the end of the year."
"Thank you sir."
"Now let's review the questions one by one," Radea sighed.
"Septimus Maximus tells me that you refused to participate in the sack race this morning," Radea said.
My plume quivered in my lap. The smell of camp, of smores and smoke and Axe body wash, lingered in the office. "I don't like camp, sir," I stammered.
"Are you, perhaps, too big for your britches, Aquilla?"
I was too big for my britches, it was true. That was why my parents sent me to fat camp, to exercise and lose weight. All I wanted to do was play Halo 3.
I slumped down further, hoping to be lost behind the pile of tinder dry papers. As I brooded over my impending fate -- the loss of this evening's brownie ration perhaps -- I could smell the smoke, as if that stack of pulp were even now aflame. Should Radea force me to go on the five mile walk that afternoon, I'd see just how flammable those papers were that night.
--anon
"I need your help, Primus. It's my son."
"Pyrrhus?"
"Yes. The second one."
"I hear the Second Pyrrhus is one of the best pilots in the fleet, popular among his peers..."
"Yes, Primus, but a pilot can do nothing with a boat that is not sea-worthy."
"His vessel is underperforming?"
"It's not just underperforming; the hull's material is completely porous."
"That is a pretty pickle Pyrrhus is in."
"But what can I the Twelfth Primus Pilus do for the popular Pyrrhus pilot and his pretty pickle of a porous predicament?"
"Pray."
--Pacatrue
Radea cleared his throat and stood up from his desk. "Aquilla, yes. My aide has already briefed me on your situation."
"Primus, I--"
"Shh. Shh. Aquilla, fear not. I am both your leader and your advisor." Radea came around behind me and placed his hands on my shoulders. "You are a competent soldier: I have heard no complaint."
"So let me see."
I shifted in my seat, ill at ease, and with trepidation removed my plume to the Pilus's desk. Upon catching sight of what was no longer hidden, Radea coughed without control, and water sprang from his eyes. Perhaps I had impressed him as being too large for my station and as meaning to burst out at any moment, like a constrictor shedding its skin.
"Centurion," Radea gasped through choking breaths, "I cannot uphold your complaint. It is clear indeed why the other men call you Primus Pilum."
Twelfth's Primus Pilus: excellent tongue twister. Say it three times fast.
I wasn't crazy about a centurion coming up with a butterfly analogy.
I'd rather he just list the smells without pausing to mention that they always evoked his early childhood.
I'd leave off the "Together with him" at the start of paragraph 5.
Despite his wiry frame, he impressed me as being too large for his office
This leads me to suspect he hasn't previously been summoned to the Primus Pilus's office. If that's true, he might be anxious, and might be thinking about why he's here, rather than the smells. (If it's not true, maybe he should say, ". . . he'd always impressed me as . . ."
It's my blingus
Oh, I wish I'd thought of that!
This is like Chinese food, an hour later and I'm hungry again.
Why is Aquilla in the commander's office?
What event has happened that forces him to face Numero Uno?
The description of the office is good but why is the man there?
The opening line says "did not intend I should be kept waiting" and then the Primus Pilus waves him to a seat as if to say "oh, you're here already." Then he shuffles papers before he speaks. That's keeping him waiting. That opening line implies urgency, nothing else in the opening implies urgency.
I think that P2 should say somthing like "Ah, Aquilla, the Gauls are in Rheinms and the Visigoths are threatening."
Or really insulting: Ah, Aquilla, your soldiers say you refuse to bath and smell like a dead goat."
I had an "as always" in there, but took it out. Maybe it should go back :).
(where do people come up with these continuations!)
OMG, that continuation was about the best ever! Fo' shizzle.
I liked this opening, Author. Lots of nice details. The line about the morning heat distracted me, however. Wasn't sure what, exactly, you meant; although evoking scent is evocative. The scorched smell of old paper lost me a bit, too.
The continuations were great! Not taking anything away from Ril's, but I loved the alliteration in Paca's. LOL!
I like this Buffy. I have 2 nits.
In the first paragraph, the two sentences seem to be saying the same thing. I'd delete the first one and just say "Radea's aide passed me through..."
The plume was distracting. I kept waiting for it to do something.
Great continuations!
Buffysquirrel, I liked this, especially the smells, the smell of anxiety. The wording of the first sentence was a little misleading, though. It set me up to expect that the protagonist would be kept waiting, against Radea's intentions. But then he was ushered right in. Maybe something like "Radea clearly did not intend I should be kept waiting?"...or along the lines of "It was a relief that at least Radeo did not keep me waiting."
Like Churchlady I was distracted by the plume. I didn't get why he unbuckled it before sitting down, I think of a plume as attached to the helmet but why would he be wearing his helmet inside? So, I wondered if this particular plume was attached to a different part of his anatomy. Which was a little disconcerting.
It's a Roman house with an inner courtyard and room around the sides. One would be admitted through a portico or covered entrance and then escorted to the center of a courtyard. The portico would have a ceiling high enough to ride a horse into the courtyard.
The office, such as it is, would be a room off the courtyard with a low roof so he would have to take his helmet off his head. All of this might also take place in the courtyard next to a wall.
Removing the helmet might also be a sign of friendship or of familiarity.
These two soldiers might know each other from the Baths. In which case, a plume on his helmet would never be associated with a codpiece under his tunic. Or even on his tunic if he set it on his lap. Romans didn't think that way. We modern goofballs think that way because we don't share baths like the Romans did. Share baths everyday of your lives with thousands of naked men and boys and no one thinks about plumes on helmets as sexual. Also remember, Romans had slaves that plucked their body hair off so that they would have smooth muscles (and yes, that hurt, a lot!). And they had slaves that washed them and cleaned them.
Yeah, "Radea didn't intend I should be kept waiting by anyone but him" wasn't really implied, was it?
Back to drawing board!

The Da Vinci Code on Screen: Where Did It All Go Wrong?
By Film Threat Staff | May 15, 2020
When the 2006 movie was released all the signs were there that it would be one of the best films of the year. A stellar cast, an Oscar-winning director and a plot from a novel that had already sold tens of millions of copies worldwide, it had all these and more.
But, as screenwriter extraordinaire William Goldman is famous for having written, in Hollywood "nobody knows anything". He wasn't claiming that ignorance abounded in the big studios. Rather, he was putting forward the idea that the most surprising movies can be huge hits while those with all the perfect ingredients can sometimes turn out to be major car crashes. The Da Vinci Code, ironically, managed to achieve both these things simultaneously.
The elements of success?
So first, let's take a look at the elements, starting with the cast.
Although director Ron Howard is rumored to have favored Bill Paxton for the central role of Robert Langdon, other commitments meant he had to pass, and Tom Hanks was cast instead. As one of the most bankable stars in Hollywood then, as he still is now, Howard surely had no real complaints. Alongside him, Audrey Tatou had already won the hearts of cinemagoers worldwide with her portrayal of Amélie in the 2001 film of the same name. Then there were other acting heavyweights like Alfred Molina, Paul Bettany and Sir Ian McKellan.
As already mentioned, the director was the nine-times Oscar winner Ron Howard and the story was from the king of the airport novel, Dan Brown – and it's with the latter aspect of the movie that maybe things started to unravel slightly.
That's because a plot which worked well on paper was rather too complex to capture on screen. For anyone who's not seen the movie or read the book, it's a mystery story in which Langdon (Tom Hanks) and Sophie Neveu (Audrey Tatou) set off on the search for the famous Holy Grail that was allegedly used as a chalice at the Last Supper. They are hindered on their way by a mysterious monk under the control of a Catholic organization called the Opus Dei. They are obstructing the search as the Grail is, in fact, the tomb of Mary Magdalene who had a child whose father was Jesus and whose descendants are alive today. In the movie, the Opus Dei are concerned that, if the truth is revealed, it will undermine their teachings and may lead to the collapse of Catholicism.
A major clue in the search comes in the form of a cylindrical cryptex which can only be opened by cracking the code of the title and which leads the protagonists to a final showdown in Paris. Along the way, there are countless twists and turns in the story, including a number of red herrings and other plot holes. So, when the film was released the critical consensus was that it was a confusing, long (the running time is 149 minutes) and dull film. On Rotten Tomatoes, it scores a very paltry 26%.
But, and it's a big but, the film was a huge commercial success. With a budget of $125 million it went on to gross $760 million worldwide making it one of the most successful movies of 2006 financially, if not critically.
It also went on to generate even more cash from the wealth of merchandise that the film spawned. These ranged from replicas of the cryptex used in the film to coasters, T shirts and code-breaking game. It even became a big favorite with NJ online slots players, who have been treated to hit game Da Vinci Diamonds.
There have been a number of theories put forward as to why there was such a large discrepancy between the critical reception and the financial success of the movie. The first is that many of the millions of people who had enjoyed Dan Brown's novel wanted to see how it translated onto the big screen. The second is the hype that the movie had received both before and after its release.
The Code Controversy
Also integral to its appeal was the controversy that greeted the release of the film. Just as movies with religious films before it, from Martin Scorsese's The Last Temptation of Christ to Monty Python's Life of Brian, have proved to be controversial with religious organizations, The Da Vinci Code was no exception.
The Vatican condemned the film calling for a full boycott and the real-life Opus Dei claimed that the film gave a "deformed" view of the Catholic Church. Following these criticisms, it was also banned in countries as diverse as Egypt and the Faroe Islands. In other countries, only edited versions could be shown.
This worldwide opposition, however, certainly didn't seem to have a very adverse effect on box office takings, no doubt thanks to many people who might normally not have bothered with the film deciding to see for themselves what all the fuss was about.
Ron Howard announced that he felt that the negativity surrounding the film was "frustrating" to him and stars Hanks and McKellen also had comments to make. The former acknowledged that there would always be people who would object, but it was only a film, while McKellen challenged anyone to believe that even events depicted in the Bible are all 100% true.
The controversy surrounding the film also certainly did nothing to dissuade Sony from backing two more films in the series. The first, Angels and Demons was actually a prequel and was released in 2009. Made for $150 million, it received slightly better reviews and went on to make $486 million. Then, in 2016, Inferno was released. A far lower budget movie at $75 million, it made $220 million.
So however, the critics may have looked down on the series, in terms of the money they've made, the films cannot be discounted. And, while they may not have added to director Ron Howard's long list of awards, he continues to be proud of the trilogy as an accomplishment.

Did Jesus really have a wife?In the book of Matthew chapter 27, verses 56 and 61; chapter 28 verse 1 she was mentioned as one of the women who came to witness Jesus' resurrection. Why is the scripture silent about her relationship with Jesus? Jesus himself said in Matthew chapter 4:22 "For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested;neither was anything kept secret , but that it should come abroad". Do not support heresies in the name of truth.

A 1921 riot destroyed almost 40 blocks of a wealthy black neighborhood in North Tulsa, Oklahoma. No one knows how many people died, no one was ever convicted, and no one really talked about it nearly a century later. This is the story of the Tulsa Race Massacre and why it's important that you know it.
At least 1,256 homes, along with churches, schools, businesses and even a hospital were deliberately burned or destroyed. Recently found documents are helping historians and researchers better understand the events that took place. And lots of this work is happening by staff at the National Museum of African American History and Culture. In fact, part of the Power of Place exhibition at the museum is dedicated to the events of the massacre.

Woodstock 50 Moved to Merriweather Post Pavilion: Report
By MH Jul 26, 2019
According to Rolling Stone, Woodstock 50 has been moved from New York state to Columbia, MD and Merriweather Post Pavilion.
The iconic festival has been plagued with issues since it was informally announced in January. The lineup, though impressive and featuring names like Jay-Z, The Black Keys, The Killers, Santana, Dead & Company and David Crosby, was announced much later that anticipated. Then, a series of failed permits for a location came in, The Black Keys dropped out, ticket sales were delayed, investors dropped out, and the list goes on.
It seemed Woodstock 50 was doomed. But now, multiple sources are reporting that the festival will now be at Merriweather, a venue with a capacity much smaller than the 150,000 attendees originally anticipated. And it will take place on the dates it was scheduled to take place in upper New York, August 16-18. There's no word yet on whether or not the artists who were scheduled to appear at the festival in NY are confirmed for the move to Maryland.
There's just one other issue: The Smashing Pumpkins and Noel Gallagher already have a show scheduled at Merriweather on August 17. The concert is still listed on Merriweather's concert calendar with no sign of Woodstock. 🤔

Portugal, the Perfect Holiday Destination
Discover the beautiful country of Portugal, on the Iberian Peninsula in Southwest Europe. With a long and fascinating history, colourful cities and beautiful scenery, Portugal is an ideal holiday destination. Lisbon is the capital city and hiring a estate car at Lisbon International Airport (LIS) is a great way to begin your travels. Lisbon is an enchanting city that has really come into its own in recent years, attracting lovers of food, culture and history to its fashionable neighbourhoods, fine restaurants and historic gothic architecture.
Driving north from Lisbon are plenty of fascinating attractions, including Sintra, a town with a proud aristocratic past that saw the building of the Palacio Nacional de Sintra, the Palacio de Monserrate and the Palacio da Pena. Today, tourists come en masse to see the historic mansions and magical castles set against a backdrop of luscious hills. Enjoy a taste of Portugal's regal past in the medieval town of Obidos, a stunning walled town full of white washed houses, arcades and picturesque squares, or drive further north to Alcobaca, a town known for its Abbey of Santa Maria, Portugal's largest church and one of its greatest architectural monuments. Close by are the extensive Roman ruins of Conimbriga that date back to the 9th Century.
The city of Porto (Oporto) is Portugal's second largest city, built on the hills of the Douro River Estuary in northern Portugal. Porto is a fascinating city that is best explored on foot, and across the river is the famous Port Wine producing district of Gaia. This city is exceptionally hilly, with many of its buildings built into the cliff faces and public stairways cut into the stone, so make sure you come prepared. Collect your estate car on arrival at Porto Airport (OPO), just 15km from the city centre, and drive north to the Minho region, a beautiful area full of vineyards, beaches and the Peneda-Geres national park. To the east is the quiet region of Trás-os-Montes, one of the more remote areas of Portugal. This is the region where you will find traditional markets, festivals and a feeling that life has changed little in the past few hundred years.
On Portugal's south coast lies the Algarve, a popular tourist destination for those seeking sandy beaches, large hotels, water sports and golf courses. You can rent one of our estate cars cars from various locations in the Algarve, including Faro Airport (FAO), one of the main arrival points for visitors to this region. Having access to a car is the best way to really enjoy this region, particularly for those who wish to get away from the tourist resorts to discover a more traditional side of Portuguese life. Faro, the capital of the region is located in the centre of the Algarve, and unlike many of the other towns along this coast, has retained its Portuguese character and has a well-preserved medieval centre. West of Faro is Lagos, a town known for its party atmosphere with a vibrant nightlife, along with the resorts of Albufeira, Sagres and Carrapateira. Our Portugal estate car rentals are also available on Madeira and Porto Santo, the two islands that form the archipelago of Madeira in the Atlantic Ocean, an autonomous region of Portugal.

5 Films and TV Show To Watch After Another Woman
5 Films (And A TV Show)… A series where we recommend films referenced, inspired, influenced or generally like a certain Woody Allen film, from his first to his latest. All picks are subjective – let the arguments begin!
Another Woman was the first time Allen handed over the lead of a film over to someone who wasn't himself or Mia Farrow. He chose Gena Rowlands, who is almost in every scene and holds down a character that Allen poured his heart into writing.
It's a very intellectual film, with Rowlands as Marion, reflecting on her life. A strong lead character exploring their past – and deciding that they must change their life – defined our choices.
Here's 5 films and a TV show to watch after Another Woman.
dir. Ingmar Bergman
Allen once again relies heavily on Ingmar Bergman's tone for his film – this time Wild Strawberries. It's a tale of a professor on a trip to receive an award, but like Marion, travels through his own past as well. An acclaimed work of magical fancy, with a comment on ageing not discussed in western cinema.
A Woman Under The Influence (1974)
dir John Cassavettes
Gena Rowlands will always be best known for the her stunning run of films directed by her husband John Cassavettes. Several films tie closely with Another Woman, but the best film is still A Woman Under The Influence. Rowland is electric as a woman trying to be the perfect wife. It's light on plot but rich as a character portrait as a couple (the other half played by Peter Falk) deal with their marriage breakdown.
An Unmarried Woman (1978)
dir. Paul Marzursky
A smart, sophisticated New York drama about a modern urban woman's rediscovery of love – it sounds like an Allen except it pretty much predates Allen's Manhattan dramas. Nominated for Academy Awards, An Unmarried Woman starred Jill Clayburgh as a woman who recovers from a divorce by finding herself.
Directed by Paul Mazursky who would direct Allen in Scenes From A Mall (1991). It also stars Michael Murphy (one year before starring in Manhattan, 1979).
I Am Love (2009)
dir. Luca Guadagnino
Tilda Swinton stars as the matriarch of a well to do family in Milan, whose life seems perfect. But she falls for a young chef, and the cracks in her life start to become more clear, and happiness must be a conscious choice. Filmed in a spectacular atmosphere of high class and beautiful rural Italy, it is a feast for the heart and the eyes. It also stars Flavio Parenti (To Rome With Love).
45 Years (2015)
dir Andrew Haigh
A lifetime of emotions come rushing back in 45 Years, a story of a couple whose steady trajectory is thrown after a ghost from the past reappears. Starring Charlotte Rampling (Stardust Memories, 1980) and Tom Courtenay, it's a beautiful reflection on getting older, and the troubles it brings.
Olive Kitteridge (2014)
A four part HBO adaptation of the Elizabeth Strout novel, Olive Kitteridge follows the title character's adult life, and her struggle with the easy life she has, or to fight for something more meaningful. The rich world is brought to life with a stunning performance by Frances McDormand, and the show won 8 Emmys.
Lots of Allen alumni including Richard Jenkins (Hannah And Her Sisters), John Gallagher Jr (Whatever Works) and Rachel Brosnahan (Crisis In Six Scenes).
Let us know your picks for Another Woman and if you agree with our picks. We are also looking for picks for Crimes And Misdemeanors, which is the next film we will cover. Let us know in the comments below or on Facebook or Twitter. Check out the full list of 5 Films (And A TV Show).
