Ricky Gervais to join the Muppets

Comic 'in talks' for starring role

Ricky Gervais is in talks to take the lead role in the next Muppets movie.

His potential role is unclear, but film industry newspaper The Hollywood Reporter says it could be along the lines of the part played by Jason Segel in last year’s comeback film.

Gervais shot a cameo for the first movie, but the scene didn't make the final cut. And he is used to working with Muppets – and not just Karl Pilkington – having filmed several internet sketches with Sesame Street’s Elmo, below.

There are said to be three main human stars in the new movie, with Modern Family actor Ty Burrell in line to play one of them, a lazy Interpol inspector. Segel will not be returning, the trade paper says.

The Muppets sequel will be directed by James Bobin, and written by Nicholas Stoller – the same as last year’s hit, which made more than £92million at the box office.

  • One Table
    (Photo: Screengrab/OneTableFuller.com)
    Logo for OneTable, an LGBTQ student organization on the campus of Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, Calif.
By Melissa Barnhart, CP Reporter
July 19, 2013|6:33 pm

Mark Labberton, president of Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, Calif., announced this week that the evangelical seminary's willingness to allow OneTable, an LGBTQ student-led organization, to hold monthly meetings and sponsor campus events does not conflict with the institution's policies and Christian moral beliefs and teachings.

In a statement shared with The Christian Post, Labberton said the administration welcomes "the opportunity to engage over vigorous issues of debate within the church and within culture," and understands that their decision to allow an LGBT student organization on campus leaves the seminary "vulnerable to critique from a broad spectrum."

OneTable, the LGBTQ student organization that was founded in 2012 by Chelsea McInturff and Samantha Curley, hosts monthly table fellowship meals and sponsors campus events, including film screenings, speakers and panels, and provides "safe spaces for students and faculty to engage in healthy and constructive conversations together," according to the OneTable website.

Having received thoughtful questions about the seminary's moral stance on issues pertaining to sexuality, specifically same-sex marriage and the purpose behind the LGBT student organization, Labberton said the seminary will continue to uphold its belief that premarital, extramarital and homosexual conduct are inconsistent with biblical teachings.

"Fuller's position on same-sex marriage and behavior, reflective of our evangelical tradition's reliance on the scriptures, affirms that every student, faculty member, administrator, and staff person at Fuller is expected to abide by the Community Standards that 'premarital, extramarital, and homosexual forms of explicit sexual conduct [are] inconsistent with the teaching of Scripture.' This position is clear," Labberton emphasized.

He added that OneTable is one among 24 student-led groups at Fuller, and provides a "safe place to discuss issues related to sexuality and gender – issues that are vitally important, personal, and fraught with debate that is frequently divisive and contentious, not least in an evangelical context."

According to Labberton, OneTable isn't an advocacy group and the LGBT organization isn't going to influence the seminary's policies.

"[M]any evangelical and other churches are being asked questions related to sexuality by their congregations," he commented. "As our students at Fuller train to become pastors and church leaders and for other vocations, issues about sexuality will likely be asked and discussed with some regularity. Our goal at Fuller Seminary is to help prepare our students to be able to minister lovingly, biblically, and faithfully on this and many other issues as well."

Labberton noted that Fuller has always taught and discussed issues pertaining to sexuality, marriage and family, and will continue to do so in the classroom and in campuswide workshops.

Nick Palacios, president of OneTable, and McInturff and Curley, OneTable's founding presidents, told CP on Thursday they believe that having access to the organization on campus will serve to "encourage, equip, and empower seminary students to engage in dialogue with the LGBT community, regardless of their personal or theological convictions."

The OneTable presidents explained, "Jesus teaches us what relational ministry looks like, and we hope that OneTable is helping students to be more relational in how they think about their 'other,' in this case, the LGBT community. We do this by giving students the opportunity to share a meal with people who are different from them, while providing a safe space for people to listen, learn and ask questions."

Curley added that OneTable will "help students think about faith and sexuality from a broader perspective, one that includes each of us, not only the LGBT community."

She continued, "We are all embodied, sexual beings and the blessing of the LGBT community and a group like OneTable is that the entire seminary community has the opportunity to think more theologically about their own sexuality, however they would define it."

Thus far, the students said the Fuller community has responded positively toward OneTable, and reiterated that the purpose for having the organization at the seminary is to ignite a dialogue and understanding, not to change the seminary's policies or advance any political agenda.

"We've encountered people from various beliefs and convictions regarding faith and sexuality, and my sense is that the community seems relieved to have a safe space to participate in this dialogue – to listen, to learn, and to meet people from different backgrounds and beliefs," Curley said. "Certainly, there is a lot of fear and skepticism around even having the dialogue, but we strive to be a place where everyone's voice is welcome and necessary. The more people hear and trust this posture and approach, the more I hope they will join the conversation."

The OneTable presidents also said they don't believe the student-led organization runs counter to Christian doctrine, when asked this question by CP, and maintained that OneTable is "very much in line with Christian doctrine."

"We also believe our approach is in line with Jesus' relational ministry and a Gospel that models what it looks like to sweep from the margins," they said.

Even though Palacios, McInturff and Curley believe OneTable is going to be a success at Fuller, they don't believe they can prescribe that all Christian institutions should follow their lead.

"We've found a space and an approach that is working for our community and I hope other Christian communities take the time to discern what is best for them," Curley said. "This is a conversation and a community that is not going away, so I believe seminaries and universities must address the dialogue with faith, hope and love. But what that looks like is a question specific and contextualized for each community."

Lady Gaga Meets With White House Aids Over Anti-Bullying Campaign

By Bianca Coombs , Christian Post Contributor
December 7, 2011|12:02 pm

Lady Gaga continued her ongoing campaign against bullying Tuesday when she met with several White House aids.

The president himself was on his way to Kansas at the time of the superstar’s meeting.

Lady Gaga vowed to meet with President Obama after the death of 14-year-old Jamey Rodemeyer, who was tormented because of his sexuality up until he committed suicide.

On twitter, Gaga wrote, “I have so much anger. It is hard to feel love when cruelty takes someone’s life … Bullying must (be) illegal. It is a hate crime.”

She then boldly declared, “I am meeting with our President. I will not stop fighting. This must end. Our generation has the power to end it.”

ABC reported in September that Lady Gaga brought up the issue with the president during a fundraiser in California. She thanked him for holding an anti-bullying conference and pleaded for continuing efforts to end school bullying.

Lady Gaga began the Born This Way Foundation to address the issue. The foundation is lead by the star and her mother Cynthia Germanotta.

According to the foundations Website, the project, which is named after her second album and its title track, “will focus on youth empowerment and equality by addressing issues like self-confidence, well-being, anti-bullying, mentoring and career development.”

Gaga is partnering with the John D. & Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the California Endowment and Harvard University. The foundation officially launches in 2012.

April Fool’s Map

What is it about the London Underground system that makes it so prone to practical jokery? ‘Mornington Crescent’ was the ultimate practical joke game, but over at Diamond Geezer they’ve taken things further in one of the more complicated practical jokes built around the underground. There are an enormous number of parody maps wherein the […]

One Less Place To Read A Book

Sp eighty of London’s stations are to get free Wi-Fi in time for the Olympics, which means that our last refuge from being emailed and texted is about to vanish. I relished my time spent reading on the tube, until TfL decided that we need to be alerted by the driver every time a train […]

Another Load of Old Pants

What unites London, New York and Mexico City today? Apparently it’s ‘No Trousers On The Tube’ Day, so for some unearthly reason (the papers cite a ‘social-media-driven event’) people are wandering about with their kecks off on the tube. Luckily it’s very mild here today. Personally speaking, with my knees I’m better off keeping them […]

Mark Noad’s reworking of Harry Beck’s iconic London tube map is no mere stab at design celebrity. The designer points out that while the original is a classic that has influenced tube maps around the world, it has been added to over the years, and the additions (particularly the sloppily-designed overground bits) have harmed the […]

London seems to be a city built on, or surrounded by, water. It’s said that there’s no such thing as a dry London house, and I don’t know any city dwellers who don’t have a battle with water in some form. Our warehouse has a well in its basement, and the underground Fleet river passes […]

Nearly a year has passed since Tropical Storm Allison.

Some residents have completely refurbished their flood-damaged 1950s ranch-style homes. Others have opted to tear down and rebuild grand custom homes with high elevations on their lots.

Still others have moved out, unable or unwilling to take on debt to restore their homes. Particularly hard-hit were some of the older residents with paid-for homes that did not require flood insurance by a lender.

As Bill Blackwood puts it, the normal generational cycle of the neighborhood has been accelerated.

"What we would have seen over the next 10 years has been reduced to two," says Blackwood, president of the Braeswood Place Homeowners Association, of which Braes Oaks is a part. "Sadly, we've seen people who were kind of the pillars of our community who have had to make the decision to leave for a variety of reasons."

Braes Oaks is being revitalized as the trend to tear down and rebuild has been hastened by nature. With large lots and shady trees, minutes from the Texas Medical Center and Rice Village, the location is prime. Plans have been approved for over 20 new homes since the flood.

New houses are typically two-stories constructed with pier-and-beam foundations and containing 3,800 to 4,000 square feet, says Steve Anton of Hallmark Properties. They average around $630,000. Lot values, which dipped after the flood but are reviving, range from $195,00 to $215,000, Anton says.

Home prices have been flat this spring, with the Sept. 11 attacks and downfall of Enron as contributing factors, Anton says. He expects a strong rebound in the next few years with all the improvements going on in the neighborhood.

Braes Oaks, along with Braes Heights, Ayrshire and several other small subdivisions, make up Braeswood Place. More than 500 of the community's 2,200 homes took in water during Allison.

Since the flood, the homeowners association has approved plans for 85 new homes and 14 additions. During the previous year, plans were approved for 39 new homes and 14 additions. The association reviews plans to make sure they comply with setback lines set forth in deed restrictions.

A better system must be in place, "to make sure that legislators are not being reimbursed by both the state and their campaigns," Straus, R-San Antonio, said in reference to records that show House Republican Caucus leader Larry Taylor routinely pays for travel expenses from his campaign account and then seeks reimbursement from the state.

Taylor, of Friendswood, said he repays his campaign account after receiving a check from the state.

Questions about Taylor's reimbursements come on the heels of revelations that Rep. Joe Driver, R-Garland, double-billed at least $17,431 in travel expenses. Driver said the double reimbursements were unintentional errors.

Still, Straus said, ethics, trust and public confidence are paramount in democracy.

"The public trust is No. 1," he said, "and without that, we couldn't even begin to address these other challenges that we have."

Because lawmakers are not required to disclose travel expense reimbursements, Taylor acknowledged his handling of expenses could look bad. He said he always repays his campaign account after the state reimbursement arrives, and he produced bank statements to back up his claim.

An ethics watchdog, however, filed a complaint against Taylor with the Travis County district attorney last week, questioning the lawmaker's online bank statements.

According to the complaint filed by Dave Palmer, a California-based ethics watchdog, Taylor has used his campaign/officeholder account to pay for $31,952 worth of travel expenses, including 90 airfares, 12 hotel bills, 5 conference registration fees and a car rental - all of which Taylor also billed to the state. The Houston Chronicle independently verified more than 80 of the airfares that showed up on both Taylor's campaign expense account and in state vouchers for reimbursement since 2005.

It is not possible to verify whether Taylor repaid his campaign account because lawmakers are not required to disclose repayments from state travel reimbursements back to their campaign or officeholder accounts.

Taylor acknowledged the loophole could invite dishonest politicians to pocket the state reimbursements.

"I'd say 90-95 percent of the people here aren't going to be doing that. There are a few bad apples in every bunch," he said. "It will catch up with you at some point."

There is no uniform reporting system for the handling of legislative-related travel, Taylor said.

"If I'm a wealthy person, I just would pay for (the travel expenses) out of my personal account and then, when I get the reimbursement, I would put it right back into my personal account because it's all mine. I just don't have that kind of cash," said Taylor, who owns an insurance agency.

Travel reimbursement checks from the state are electronically deposited into a separate "clearing account" Taylor set up at Wells Fargo, where he also has his personal banking and campaign-office holder accounts.

Taylor shared a sample bank statement with the Chronicle: the December 2007 statement shows he transferred $17,509 from an account in which reimbursement checks are electronically deposited to his campaign fund.

Texas Ethics Commission attorney Tim Sorrells, citing a commission advisory opinion, said an officeholder must repay his campaign account if he is reimbursed by the state "for something that was purchased with political contributions."

Sorrells added, "There's not anything specific in the law requiring the reimbursement to be disclosed in the campaign finance report."

Any repayment simply would get lumped into "cash-on-hand" figures that show up on every campaign finance report

Reports never add up

A tally of all Taylor's political contributions and expenses since arriving in the Legislature in 2003 shows a cash-on-hand balance that is roughly $30,000 less than it would be had all the travel reimbursements been repaid, Palmer said.

Taylor said he could not explain that discrepancy but emphasized campaign expense reports never add up - a point confirmed by Sorrells - because the reports simply track money instead of providing a balance sheet.

Palmer's complaint has triggered an investigation by the Public Integrity Unit of the Travis County district attorney.

The Associated Press reported earlier this year that Driver, a veteran legislator, had pocketed more than $17,000 in double-billed travel expenses. Driver said any errors were unintentional. That case remains under investigation, said Gregg Cox, head of the prosecutor's Public Integrity Unit.

Cox said it is not possible to determine if complaints of double-billing travel expenses constitute criminal conduct or a civil matter without legal research.

Jaworski Lights Up For Super Bowl Charity

David Savona
Posted: January 25, 2013

Ron Jaworski, the cigar-loving ESPN analyst and former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback known as Jaws, is hosting his annual Super Bowl party next Thursday night in New Orleans.

Jaws’ Superbowl Cigar Party is a smoke-friendly fundraiser. This year, the funds raised by the party will benefit Louisiana victims of Hurricane Isaac, which caused more than $2 billion in damage throughout the Caribbean and the United States last year. Louisiana was the area hit hardest by the storm.

The party also raises funds for the Jaws Youth Playbook, which aims to improve the lives of youth in Philadelphia.

Jaworski’s party features cigars, past and present NFL players, personalities from ESPN and various cigarmakers. Johnnie Walker Scotch is among the party sponsors, and this year cigars will be provided by Davidoff and Camacho, General Cigar and C.A.O., Rocky Patel Premium Cigars and SAG Imports. Several cigar executives are expected to attend, including Rocky Patel, Dylan Austin and Rick Rodriguez.

This will be the fourth year in a row Jaworski has lit it up for charity. In three years, the parties have raised more than $75,000 via silent auctions of sports memorabilia.

Following the deaths of 14 of his patients from prescription drug overdoses, a Northern Kentucky doctor has had his medical license suspended and is the subject of a federal criminal investigation.

The Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure suspended Dr. Gary Shearer's license on Monday after it found his practice constituted a danger to the health, welfare and safety of his patients or the general public. The 14 patients, who died in the past three years, ranged in age from 30 to 59.

As for the logic... I reindented your code for my own reading (if

if you like J < GET_MOB_ATT(ch), you could just start at 1... hope
you don't mind my nitpicking (I wish someone would nitpick my code for
me :)...
As for why mobs are doing strange things, I didn't understand which
part of the mob you stuck the new variable in... for reference, I stuck
it in where the BareHandAttack variable is saved... puff getting 9
attacks while hydra getting 1 seems like some ssort of 'global' variable
is being "looked at", which may be the cause... are you sure you wouldn't
just like a cut/paste ? :)  (btw, you may find it in demand for a third
attack, esp if mobs are gonna be doing more than 2 :).
Anyway, there should be a check before the first hit(ch, FIGHTING(ch)...)
and you need that directly before any calls to hit(...), else your code
may not be fully portable (linux I think pukes on a call to hit a corpse).

TrailsCentral Virginia Civil War

Rolling hills leading west to the Blue Ridge Mountains are the prime landscape feature of Virginia's Piedmont area. During the Civil War residents of this countryside experienced a share of heavy fighting, but more often the area was the site of camps, cavalry action, hospitals and Confederate supply. Most of the sites listed below are readily accessible from Routes 29 and 15.

Jump to Orange County | Madison County

Culpeper County

540-727-0611 or www.visitculpeperva.com

Driving tour information about touring Culpeper County Civil War sites is available at the visitor center in the Town of Culpeper and at the Museum of Culpeper History. Download tour map from visitculpeperva.com.

Museum of Culpeper History
803 S Main St, Culpeper VA 22701
 Road map
   This fine community museum covers the full scope of the county's history. An electronic Civil War map highlights the dramatic Civil War battles nearby including Brandy Station and Cedar Mountain. Monday–Saturday 10 am–5 pm; Sunday 1–5 pm. $3. Ask about the Civil War walking tours.

Brandy Station Battlefield
Visitor center located in the Graffiti House, 19484 Brandy Road, Brandy Station VA 22714
 Road map
    A driving/walking tour of the site of the largest cavalry battle in North American (June 9, 1863) is now open. JEB Stuart got quite a scare here. Stop at the “Graffiti House” visitor center for orientation. Open April–November Friday–Monday 11 am–4 pm. Driving tour brochure is available. Car-caravan tours of various areas of the battlefield are offered Saturday mornings spring–fall.

Kelly's Ford
Trails signs just southwest of the Rappahannock River bridge on Route 620 and at 13656 Newby's Shop Road northeast of Kelly's Ford
Road map
  Big cavalry fight along the Rappahannock March 17, 1863, resulted in a technical Confederate victory but cost the South one of its best and most charismatic soldiers, Maj. John Pelham, who was killed in the battle. Also see "Pelham's Last Days" sign below in Culpeper.

Cedar Mountain
Stonewall Jackson confronted elements of Union Gen. John Pope's Army of Virginia here on Aug. 9, 1862, and got quite a scare. The Confederates gained a narrow victory and continued north toward Manassas. An interpreted walking trail now leads into the battlefield from a cluster of historical markers, including a Civil War Trails marker. Look for the signs on Route 15 south of Culpeper, then turn west onto Route 657.

Town of Culpeper
Trails signs at the restored railroad station/visitor center downtown
   Information here describes the Union encampment in Culpeper and surrounding areas during the winter of 1863-64 and a Sept. 13, 1863, Union cavalry raid on Confederate supplies loaded in rail cars at the station. Pick up self-guided Civil War tour booklet of Culpeper County sites at the visitor center.

"Pelham's Last Days"
Trails sign two blocks north of the intersection of Main and Davis streets in Culpeper
   Confederate Maj. John Pelham, commander of JEB Stuart's horse artillery, left from near here to fight Union horsemen who crossed the Rappahannock River at Kelly's Ford March 16, 1863. Wounded in the battle, he was returned to Culpeper, dying that night at the Shackelford House.

Little Fork Episcopal Church
Trails sign at 16471 Oak Shade Road, Rixeyville VA 22737
Road map
   This church, built in 1776, saw plenty of action during the Civil War as both armies marched, fought and camped nearby. Early in the war, the Little Fork Rangers mustered into Confederate service here. The unit fought in most of the major battles in the East before surrendering at Appomattox.

Orange County

Refer to the 1864 Overland Campaign tour, and stop at the Fredericksburg national park visitor centers for information about the Civil War Trails site at Germanna Ford and touring the Wilderness battlefield. The Confederate army camped near Orange and Gordonsville on the eve of the 1864 Overland Campaign.

11407 Constitution Highway, Montpelier Station VA 22957 (Route 20, west of Orange)
 Road map
   A ¾-mile, four-stop walking trail explores the site of a Confederate camp and the farm of slave-turned-freedman George Gilmore, who built the cabin with his wife, Polly. Confederate troops camped on the grounds of President James Madison’s home during the winter of 1863–1864. Interpretive signs along the trail describe the archeological exploration of the camp and soldier life during that winter. The Confederates hurriedly abandoned their Orange County camps in May 1864 to meet the Union army in the Wilderness. Remains of soldier hut sites and other physical evidence of the camp can be seen. The trail features reconstructed soldier huts created by re-enactors using Civil War-era building methods. The trail also explores the transition from slave life to freedom for the Gilmore family, who farmed the property 1820–1920. The Gilmores’s cabin survives. The trail is on the grounds of Montpelier, which is restored to Madison’s time. Trail begins in parking lot across Route 20 from the Montpelier Train Depot. Access to the Civil War Camp site and trail is free. Fee charged for house visits.

Exchange Hotel and Civil War Museum
400 S Main St, Gordonsville VA 22942

Call for details. Open April to mid-November Monday–Saturday 11 am–4 pm (closed Wednesday); Sunday 1–4 pm. $8/adult.

Mine Run/Paynes Farm
Trailhead with signs at the Zoar Baptist Church, 31334 Zoar Road, Locust Grove
 Road map
   Union Gen. George Meade hoped to cross the Rapidan River in late November 1863, then hit Confederates under Robert E. Lee in the flank. Bad weather and quick action by Lee ruined his plans. The heaviest action of the campaign was at Payne’s Farm, where the two forces clashed Nov. 27. A 1.5-mile interpreted trail established by the Civil War Trust begins at the church and winds its way through the most intense part of the battlefield.
Note: This trail is minutes away from the Wilderness battlefield. Take Route 20 west to Route 611 (Zoar Road) then north to the Mine Run battlefield.

Town of Orange
Civil War Trails interpretation at the visitor center, 122 E Main St, Orange VA 22960
 Road map
   Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia was camped in the area during the winter of 1863–’64. He moved out to meet the Union threat in May 1864 as U.S. Grant began his campaign, crossing the Rapidan River into the Wilderness.

St. Thomas Episcopal Church
119 Caroline St, Orange VA 22960
 Road map
   Big-name Confederates, including Lee, Jefferson Davis and A.P. Hill, worshipped here. Call for information about visiting.

Madison County

A visitor center in Madison will get you started. They say you will travel back in time in Madison County, and you do. The following Madison County sites have Civil War Trails interpretation:

Battle of James City, Route 29 near Route 631 – Only remnants of this little town remain today after day-long fighting between cavalry under Confederate Gen. J.E.B. Stuart and Union Gen. Judson Kilpatrick on Oct. 10, 1863. Roadside historical marker just northeast of the intersection.

Battle of Jack's Shop, modern-day Rochelle on Route 231 – J.E.B. Stuart got a bad scare here and was almost captured by Union cavalry under Kilpatrick and John Buford Sept. 22, 1863. This countryside is little changed since the Civil War and is still dotted with antebellum homes along the old Blue Ridge Turnpike (Route 231). It's well worth the short trip from Route 29. Roadside marker in Rochelle.

(May 2013) Enlarge In 1910, an Act of Congress returned a long-held trophy of war, where it now stands guard over the cemetery. The "Little Cannon" was originally presented to the Georgia Military Institute by the state of Georgia. Union forces captured the 6-pound field piece near Savannah in 1864

(May 2013) Enlarge   Detail The Marietta Confederate Cemetery is adjacent to the City Cemetery which is interesting in its own right. Unlike most Southern cemeteries of the period, it was not segregated, as evidenced by this Slave Lot. Nearby is the grave of one of the last Daughters who developed the Confederate Cemetery, Mattie Harris Lyon, marked with a unique tributary statue

(May 2013) Enlarge   Detail Scattered throughout there similar benches featuring open books with small items of sculpture such as a forage cap, canteen, women's gloves, etc. One of them tells the story of how Mattie received permission to fly her Confederate flag here

(May 2013) Enlarge Perhaps you can tell about another "mystery marker" I omitted because I could find nothing about the individual resting beneath it. There is nothing about him in the cemetery brochure, and he's in the City, not the Confederate Cemetery proper. A quick look in Warner's Generals in Gray shows NO such general, but decorated as it is with Confederate flags, one would assume it to be "legitimate". Was William Phillips a UCV "general", or maybe a general of Joe Brown's Georgia Militia?

alternatives to pesticides - weeds - Quackgrass

Quackgrass forms dense spreading mats with white, fleshy roots.

Physical control
Keep pulling it out. Pieces of root left in the soil can sprout new growth. Sift the soil carefully to make sure you remove all root pieces. Try covering it with weed barrier cloth. If mowed regularly, quackgrass does not seriously detract from the appearance of a lawn. Mowing will gradually cause quackgrass to decline.

Least-toxic chemical control
Try spot treating with boiling water. If the grass still persists, do not spray. Paint the leaves when they are about 8” high with the least-toxic systemic herbicide available when the plant is actively feeding its roots. A systemic will move from the leaves through the plant’s vascular system and kill the roots. Do not put plant parts that have been treated with herbicides into your compost pile

Tapes N Tapes

Riding the post-Pixies wave of alt-indie

In the spring of 2003 four youngsters fresh out of college crowded around an old CD player in their Minneapolis basement, trying to keep pace with the pre-programmed beats blearing out of its tiny speakers. Three years and innumerable line-up changes later, Tapes ‘n Tapes have released their debut album, ‘The Loon’, to almost universal critical acclaim.

The Quest of the Golden Fleece

Click a flag for a translation:

This is the title of a poem by Apollonius of Rhodes who lived in the third-century AD. The poem deals with a Greek king, Athamas and his two wives. His first wife, Nephele was afraid of her two children (especially Phrixus, one of the two children) being killed by Ino, the soon-to-be second wife. Nephele, herself, was killed by the king, and Athamas subsequently married his second wife, Princess Ino. She came from a great family; Ino was the daughter of King Thebes. Ino had an urge to kill Phrixus, the boy, so that her children (presumably from an earlier marriage) would inherit the Athamas' kingdom. Princess Ino had thought up an elaborate plan to do away with Prince Phrixus. To accomplish this plan, Princess Ino had to gather all of the corn seed on Athamas' farm and then parch the seeds so that the crop would not grow, a task which she accomplished. When the king became aware of the crop not growing, he sent a messenger to an oracle to ask what he should do. Princess Ino intercepted the messenger and persuaded, most likely through bribery, to say to the king that the crop would not grow unless the king offered up Prince Phrixus as a sacrifice.

The people of the region in Greece, who feared starvation, convinced King Athamas to permit the death of Phrixus. At the time of the death of Phrixus and his sister, who was included in this sacrifice, each were taken to the altar. Then, a ram with a fleece of pure gold, took the two and threw them into the air. Hermes had sent him and his sister in answer to their mother's prayers.

The ram, Prince Phrixus and his sister, Helle, travelled across Europe and into Asia. When they entered Asia, Helle fell into a body of water and as a result, drowned. However, Phrixus and the ram safely arrived in the country of Colchis on the Black Sea. The Colchians were kind to Phrixus and they even let him marry one of King Æetes' daughters. It was at this time that Phrixus sacrificed the ram that had saved him to Zeus and he gave the golden fleece to King Æetes, who was the Colchian king.

Phrixus had a cousin by the name of Pelias and he was the one who killed his own father to gain control of a kingdom in Greece. However, the king had a young son who was the rightful heir to the kingdom, and this man was Jason. Jason had been sent away to a safe place where he could grow into a bold man who would take away the kingdom from his wicked cousin, Pelias.

Pelias was told by an oracle that he would be killed by a kinsmen one day who would be wearing only one sandal. Such a man did come to the town in time and he did wear just one sandal. Pelias became afraid. For it was Jason who was the one who only shod one sandal. Jason told Pelias that he came to recover the kingdom that was rightfully his and that the kingdom should be ruled rightly, without evil. Pelias agreed to hand over the kingdom, but under one condition: The condition was that the dead Phrixus wanted the Golden Fleece returned from King Æetes, which would bring the spirit of Phrixus back to his home. Pelias asked that Jason go on the journey as opposed to himself, for he was old and Jason was young and strong. So Pelias promised to give up the kingdom on the return of Jason with the Golden Fleece. Jason agreed and organized Hercules, Orpheus, Castor, Pollux, Achilles' father, Peleus and many more. This group of men were subsequently known as the Argonauts. Hera was also with Jason, to remind him not to leave behind a dying life.

Jason and the Argonauts (which was named after their ship, the Argo) first sailed to Lemnos, an island where only women lived. Only one man, the king, was left on the island. Although the women had risen up against the men on the island by killing them, they gladly helped the Argonauts with gifts of food and wine.

The Argonauts travelled to where the Harpies lived. The Harpies were flying creatures with hooked beaks and claws who left an awful odour whenever they go. The Argonauts met an old man with the power of prophecy who had a problem. Every time Phineus, the prophet, came to eat, the Harpies would come and take the food, leaving nothing left. He was left withered and weak from the lack of food. The Argonauts decided that they would help fix this problem. Two men from the Argonauts who were sons of Boreas (the great North Wind) helped because the prophet knew that only two men were needed to defeat the Harpies (this was because Phineus was a prophet). The two brothers took their position while the old man started to eat. Sure enough, the Harpies attempted to snatch the food away from the prophet. However, the sons of Boreas followed the Harpies, who had already taken the food from Phineus. They took their swords and hit the Harpies. However, they wanted to kill the flying monsters. But they remembered that these beasts were the act of Zeus and that they should not kill them. The old man thanked the Argonauts for their help and offered some advice for navigating through the Clashing Rocks, the next encounter on their journey. He said that to navigate through them safely, one should send a dove through first. If the dove survived and wasn't crushed by the rocks, the ship would survive. If the dove died, then the ship would not survive.

The next morning the Argonaut sailed off with a dove to the Clashing Rocks. They set the dove free and the dove made it through with the exception of the bird's tail feathers, which were cut off by the rolling rocks. Next, the ship went through, and, like what the prophet said, the ship survived and passed through safely, but part of the stern of the ship was cut off, like the tail feathers of the bird.

The Argonauts quickly sailed on and they passed by the country of the Amazons, because they knew that the Amazons were not gentle foes. They continued on, travelling all day. Finally, at sunset, they arrived in Colchis, home of the Golden Fleece.

On Mount Olympus, Hera went to seek Aphrodite's help. Since Hera had been overseeing the adventure, she knew that there was danger involved and discussed the matter with Aphrodite. To help the Argonauts, Aphrodite told Hera that she would send Cupid, Aphrodite's son, to the Colchis and would make the daughter of the Colchian king fall in love with Jason. Medea was the daughter of King Æetes. But Medea was a powerful magician and she could save the Argonauts if they ever were in trouble.

While this was going on, the Argonauts made their way to the city to ask the king for the Golden Fleece. Hera wrapped the Argonauts in a mist so they wouldn't be seen until they arrived at the palace. King Æetes welcomed them to Colchis and was hospitable to them. Princess Medea also made her way into the palace to see what these visitors, who had entered the palace, were doing. As Princess Medea lay eyes upon Jason, Cupid, who was sent by Aphrodite to make the two fall in love, drew his bow and shot an arrow into the heart of Medea. Amazed by the sight of Jason, she quickly returned to her chambers.

King Æetes gave the Argonauts something to eat, making sure to take care of the needs of the guest. It was only after this that King Æetes decided to ask what the men were doing in Colchis. They responded by saying that they were seeking the Golden Fleece in hopes to return it back to Greece. King Æetes was angered now for he did not like foreigners and he did not like the reason why they came to Colchis. He did not like the idea of the Golden Fleece leaving Colchis, but he said that if Jason proved his courage, Jason must do what the king himself has already done. He said that Jason must harness two flame-breathing bulls whose feet were made of bronze and to plow a field with them. As well, he must take the teeth of a dragon and grow them as if they were corn seeds. A crop of armed men would grow and he must fight this crop of armed men. The king said that he must do this if he wants the Golden Fleece returned. It was an impossible task but Jason accepted the challenge.

Jason thought of Medea, who would be able to help him complete this challenge. If she could invoke a magic spell to help him, he could defeat the bulls and the dragon-teethed men. Both agreed to this plan and Medea gave Jason a charm that when it was sprinkled over his weapons, he and his weapons would become invincible for a day. As well, he was given a stone that if too many men attacked him, he could throw the stone at the enemy. This would make the enemy turn on one another and fight each other.

Later on, Jason made his way to the field where the king and the other Colchians were. Soon enough, the bulls started to attack Jason, but Jason had the charm with him and he resisted the attack like a rock to the waves. After he defeated the bulls, many men rushed to attack him. Jason used the charm once again to make the warriors turn on each other and fight. Like Medea said, the warriors did so, and Jason's challenge was fulfilled.

The king returned to the palace, now thinking that he won't give the Golden Fleece. Meanwhile, Medea met the Argonauts and asked if she could join them on their journeys. She also told them to quickly get the Golden Fleece from a serpent which was guarding the sacred wool. Again, Medea worked her magic by lulling the serpent to sleep. The Argonauts grabbed the fleece and quickly retreated from where the serpent was lying.

By now, the king had found out what the Argonauts had done. So, King Æetes sent in son, Asyrtus, in pursuit of the Argonauts. He led an army much larger than that of the Argonauts. However, to even the odds, Medea killed her brother, Asyrtus. There were many stories as to how he died. The two that seem to be the most sensible were either the incident where Medea invited her brother to talk and while doing so, Jason would kill him by striking him down. The alternative was that Asyrtus came aboard the Argo (for reasons unknown). While on board, Medea killed him by cutting him up into pieces. King Æetes, in this case, would be commanding the ship that was trailing the Argo. Medea would then dump the mutilated body of her brother into the sea. The king then stopped the pursuit to pick up the pieces from the ocean. However, it is not known what exactly happened to the death of Asyrtus. In any case, the Argonauts had escaped.

On the return trip, they had to pass through the rock of Scylla and the whirlpool of Charybdis, most dangerous natural occurrences, however, Hera guided the Argonauts to safety. Another incident occurred when they sailed to Crete. They landed there, by the request of Medea, for she knew a man by the name of Talus. He was the last man left of the ancient bronze race. He was a creature made all of bronze except for one ankle - this was the only point where he was vulnerable. However, he was not a kind man because he threatened to crush the Argo if the Argonauts approached. Medea sensed this and made Talus crape his vulnerable ankle and he bled to death.

When the Argo reached Greece, the Argonauts disbanded leaving Jason and Medea taking the Golden Fleece to Pelias. When they arrived, Jason and Medea found that Pelias had forced Jason's father to kill himself and his mother had died of grief. Jason asked Medea for ways to punish Pelias. They accomplished this by convincing Pelias that there was a way to make the old young again. To prove this, they took an old ram and sacrificed it. Medea used one of her charms and turned the old ram, that was now in boiling water, into a young lamb. So, to make Pelias young again, Medea convinced Pelias' daughters to cut Pelias up. However, when this was complete, both Jason and Medea had vanished, leaving Pelias killed by his own daughters. If there was one benefit from this, it was that Jason had his revenge now.

It has also been said that Medea offered Jason to make Jason's father young again, and this might have happened. By doing this, she gave Jason the secret to perpetual youth.

Jason and Medea moved to Corinth where they had two sons. Medea missed her family in Colchis but her love for Jason seemed to be more important. All this for a man who would eventually betray her. The first example of this occurred when Jason married the daughter of the King of Corinth. As a result of the King of Corinth fearing the powers of Medea, the King ordered Medea and her two helpless children out of the country. While alone one day, Medea thought of Jason, and suddenly, Jason himself appeared. She said nothing but Jason said that if it wasn't for Medea's comments to the king about her powers, she could have still lived in Corinth. He had come to Medea now because he was not a man to fail a friend, and he would see that she had plenty of gold and everything necessary for her journey. However, Medea was very angry. Through her words, she explained that it was she that was the one who obtained the Golden Fleece by conquering the bulls, the dragon-men and the serpent warder of the Fleece. Jason retorted by saying that he had not been save by her but by Aphrodite who had made Medea fall in love with him. He also said that she owed him a great deal for moving her to Greece, a "civilized country". Medea, who was an intelligent woman, knew that he was being stubborn and said nothing more. Medea wanted revenge. So, she decided that she would kill Jason's bride. She decided that she would take a robe and anointed it with deadly drugs. She then placed it into a casket and told her sons to deliver it to the new bride. To ensure that she would die, she would have to wear it at once. The princess received this gift and wore it at once. No sooner had she put it on when a fire devoured her, melting her flesh away. She had died.

When Medea knew that the deed was done, she turned her mind to one more dreadful task. This task was far more dreadful, for she was going to kill her own two sons. She did so, but not without feeling sorrow for what she had done. But when Jason realized Medea had killed her bride, he was determined to kill Medea. But when he arrived at Medea's house, she had already left in a chariot that was drawn by dragons. As this occurred, Jason cursed her, but not himself, for what had happened.
