You can watch Hercules the TV series online, the story about the half god half human hero who was born at a time filled with myth and when legends were still to be made. He was the noble bastard son of the god-king Zeus and a mortal mother. With cruel gods plaguing the land with disease and punishing the people with great suffering, there was absolutely no one else to turn to but Hercules. His strength was mythical and his heart was even a lot stronger. With this attributes, he overcame all obstacles blocking his path, which was set forth by her evil and overly jealous stepmother Hera, the so-called queen of the gods.

To watch the series, the easiest method is perhaps accessing link-search domains wherein you can find a search box to type in the keyword of the TV show you want to watch. After hitting enter on your keyboard, the site displays dozens of search results that will show the links of the show for you to choose. After you had decided what link to go among all the listed sites, a simple click will let you proceed. Next, there will be another page, most likely another domain that will make you select the episode you want to access. Finally, you will again be transferred to another window, possibly another domain that hosts the video you want to watch. This method may seem to be very cumbersome for new web users but once you get the hold of the entire process, it will be as easy as “type, enter, click, select, and watch.”

El partido se presentaba muy difícil para la UDS. Un rival que aspira al ascenso, situado en los puestos de honor, y con jugadores con una clase indiscutible como Farinós, Rufete, Delibasic… Sin embargo, la suerte pareció sonreirle al conjunto charro y al cuarto de hora el Hércules se quedó con un hombre menos. Rufete saltó con el codo por delante golpeando bruscamente a Endika. 75 minutos por delante y jugando en casa, el camino parecía allanarse.

Pero la expulsión provocó que los unionistas comenzaran a tener prisas por marcar un gol que no llegaba. Aparecía el ansia y el público se empezaba a desesperar. El Hércules, pese a estar en inferioridad, no se sentía incómodo, e incluso gozaba de alguna que otra oportunidad clara que Biel Ribas, de nuevo el mejor del Salamanca, se encargaba de desbaratar.

En la segunda mitad más de lo mismo. La Unión quería tener un poco más el balón, aportaba la posesión pero sin ningún peligro sobre la portería de Calatayud. Tanto es así, que las ocasiones más claras para tomar la delantera en el marcador fueron para los alicantinos, sobre todo un mano a mano de Delibasic que salva una vez más Biel Ribas. La mejor oportunidad para el Salamanca la tuvo Linares. Faltaba un cuarto de hora para el final del partido, el balón llegó en la banda izquierda para Salva Sevilla que centró raso al área y el rechace del meta del Hércules le llegó a Linares que, libre de marca y desde el punto de penalti, estrelló el esférico incomprensiblemente contra el larguero.

De ahí hasta el final poco más que contar, salvo un inocente tiro de Azkorra desde dentro del área y la entrada de Jorge Alonso por primera vez como visitante en El Helmántico. El recibimiento, división de opiniones. El público la tomó con el equipo y con el míster charro, que contribuyó a la bronca con unos cambios extraños. Concluyó el encuentro y un pobre empate sin goles es lo que quedó. Lo cierto es que este Salamanca sigue sin funcionar y sin saber a qué juega. Queda mucho camino.

On Nov. 23, 2009, around 14.10 LT, a C-130J belonging to the 46^ Brigata Aerea, crashed in Pisa, next to the active runway (more or less here) causing the death of the 5 POB (People On Board). According to the eye witnesses that saw the aircraft crashing into the ground, the aircraft had just taken off from RWY 22L (even if some sources reported that the aircraft had just performed a  Touch & Go)  and was performing a left turn (for a right downwind?) when it lost altitude, hit the cables next to the nearby railway line and hit the ground. The reasons of the incident are obviously unknown. The two “black boxes” were immediately recovered and will be analysed to determine the root cause of the crash. The aircraft was performing a training sortie that foresaw a certain number of touch and go) and nothing can be excluded so far: for sure, with such a large aircraft, a human mistake (a stall) or a catastrophic failure (loss of hydraulic pressure, structural failure) during a low level close pattern could have a disastrous effect. I tend to exclude an engine failure since the C-130J is a 4 engine aircraft; a dual engine loss is extremely unlikely.
The aircraft involved was MM62176 “46-41″ depicted in the picture below (that I took on May 23, 2008, at Pratica di Mare airport); it was a KC-130J, a tanker capable of performing air-to-air refueling of various types of receivers.

Inside This Episode:

The Bull Fighter is one of the 15 Tequila based drinks in the Café Royal Cocktail Book, published in 1937. I have written the recipe as it appears in the book, which happens to be in parts, rather than ounces or ml.

1/4 Hercules

1/4 Grand Marnier

1/2 Tequila

Shake

The first think that makes this drink a little tricky to make is the first ingredient. Hercules is no longer produced and its tricky getting a straight answer from anyone as to what the original tasted like. I have been told that quite possibly the closest thing to it is Dubonnet. I have tried it and thought it worked pretty well.

I found a 100% Agave, Reposado worked best, but please play around and let me know what findings you have had…

The recipe calls for the ingredients to be shaken, but it does work as stirred drink as well.

There is no mention of garnish, but if you are inclined to add a little something, I found that a twist of orange zest worked well.

I would serve this drink in a coup or classic cocktail glass.

Raise your hands – how many of you have ever dressed up as a bunny for Halloween (or any other masquerade party for that matter)? I haven’t yet, but I’d definitely consider it since I’m more for dressing cute and/or sexy for Halloween as opposed to scary or gross. A bunny is the best of both – cute and (since Hugh Hefner crowned his first playgirl) sexy.

Marc Jacobs is crazy about the fuzzy ears and gave them the spotlight for his A/W 2009 Louis Vuitton collection. Juicy Couture used them in their current advertisement using the motto “Do the don’ts”. And back in the summer of ‘08 Raquel Zimmerman rocked a pair of giant pink bunnyears in a shoot for Hercules magazine. Karl Lagerfeld also did his thing with the oversized ears for Maison Michel, who by the way also had Lou Doillon sporting a real bunny for the A/W 2009 campaign (see below). And then there’s of course Lady Gaga and Lily Allen taking the trend to the streets (and stage).

Love it or hate it?

Die ersten 10 Spieltage in der Liga BBVA in dieser Saison sind vorbei und auf den ersten Blick scheint alles sehr ähnlich zu sein, wie es auch im letzten Jahr war. Barça ist erster und Real Madrid probiert zu folgen. Weiter oben befinden sich auch sonst die üblichen Verdächtigen. Dennoch, der erste Blick und vor allem der Vergleich mit dem letzten Jahr täuschen. Der Stolz Kataloniens, der Futbol Club Barcelona , spielt bis dato eine, national gesehen, tadellose Saison. In der Liga wurde bis lang noch nicht verloren, genauso wenig wie in der Copa del Rey, wo es zuletzt zwei überlegene Siege gegen Cultural Leonensa gab. Trotz allem, in diesem Jahr fehlten Barça bislang die ganz großen Glanzlichter. Bei allen Stammspielern der abgelaufenen Saison, mit Ausnahme von Xavi, Puyol und Piqué, fehlt momentan das gewisse Etwas. Es wirkt auf den Betrachter so, als wirke Barça gehemmt, nicht mit sich im Reinen, fast ein bisschen lethargisch. Das Barça der vergangen Saison blitzte nur einmal bislang auf, beim 6:0 gegen den Aufsteiger aus Zaragoza. Dafür muss man aber auch einmal zu gute halten, dass der Level der letzten Saison fast uneinholbar war. Barça glänzte die gesamte Saison über mit spielerischen und wenn nötig mit kämpferischen Leistungen, die am Ende zu einem völlig verdienten Tripel aus Liga, Champions-League und Copa del Rey führten, wobei das sicherlich größte Spiel der 2:6 Sieg im Estadio Santiago Bernabeu war.

Eben jenes 2:6 führte sicherlich auch mit dazu, dass ganz Madrid nach einem Mann schrie, Florentino Pérez. Milliardär, dank des Baubooms der vergangen Jahre, und schon einmal Präsident von Real Madrid, in dem er die Galaktischen, bestehend aus Figo, Zidane, Beckham, Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos und natürlich Raúl zusammenstellte. Madrid war nun die letzten Jahre zwar national durchaus erfolgreich, so wurde ja unter anderem mit dem deutschen Trainer Bernd Schuster 2007/08 die Liga gewonnen, aber international gab es im letzten Jahr mit zwei desolaten Spielen gegen Liverpool im Achtel-Finale eine schallende Ohrfeige und auch die Jahre davor war Madrid von seinen Glanzlichtern vergangener Tage weit entfernt. Florentino kam also und mit Florentino wurde vor allem erst einmal eines besser, nämlich die Stimmung. Die Kritik der beiden Madrid-Blätter As und Marca sowie auch von Seiten des Fernsehens, insbesondere des Fernsehsenders „cuatro“ ließ nun nach und Florentino tat sein übriges indem er Wort hielt und große Spieler ans Land zog. Erst Kaka‘, dann Cristiano Ronaldo, dann Benzema und dann tatsächlich zwei Spieler, die die Defensive verstärken sollten, Raúl Albiol und Xabi Alonso, beide ihres Zeichens spanische Nationalspieler.

Und der Plan schien aufzugehen. Madrid gewann mit gutem Fußball in der Liga viele Spiele und auch in der Champions-League mischte man gut mit. Bis zu dem Moment, als der bis dahin überragende Cristiano Ronaldo im Spiel gegen Marseille gefoult wurde und seitdem nicht mehr für die Madrilenen spielen konnte. Madrid fehlte nun der Spieler, der zwei Gegenspieler auf einmal binden konnte und somit zwangsläufig Freiraum für seine Nebenleute schuf. Man verlor gegen Sevilla, spielte nur Unentschieden gegen Gijón und in der Champions-League gab es auch eine Niederlage gegen Milan und dann kam die große Blamage, der 4:0 Sieg von Alcorcón, einem Verein aus einem Madrider Vorort der in der Segunda División B spielt. Madrid spielte mit einer Elf aus Spielern, die mindestens um den Champions-League Einzug spielen müssen. Dudek, Arbeloa, Metzelder, Albiol, Drenthe, Guti, Diarra, Granero, van der Vaart, Raúl, Benzema und natürlich auch Pellegrini mussten so selbstverständlich bittere Medienkritik einstecken und man fragt sich auch nach einem miserablen 1:0 Madrid-Sieg im Rückspiel vor nahezu ausverkaufter Heimkulisse gegen „Alcorconazo“, wie der Verein jetzt erfurchtsvoll genannt wird, ob man nicht doch zu sehr von Cristiano abhängt oder ob Madrid in den ersten Partien über seinem eigentlichen Level gespielt hat. Am 29.11. jedenfalls gibt es den Clasico gegen Barça und sollte Trainer Manuel Pellegrini dort nicht gewinnen oder sogar verlieren würde ich mehr auf eine Ablösung des Chilenen als auf einen Verbleib des vor der Saison für 3 Millionen Euro aus Villareal geholten Trainers setzen.

Sollte sich bis dahin nichts ändern, wäre es die dritte Trainerentlassung dieser Saison nachdem auch schon Atlético Madrid und Racing Santander ihren Übungsleiter ersetzt haben. Beide Mannschaften spielten ihre Saisons bislang deutlich unter Erwartung. Bei Atlético wurde mit Quique Sánchez Flores ein durchaus junger, aber dennoch erfahrener Mann geholt, der dem doch sehr fragilen Defensivverbund um den Ex-Hamburger Tomas Ujfalusi Stabilität geben soll. Jedoch ist ihm dies noch nicht gelungen. Zu viele Gegentore, die selbst Kun Agüero und Diego Forlán nicht wegschießen können, hatten einen Mittelfeldplatz als Konsequenz. Auch Racing ist schlecht in die Saison gestartet. Nachdem man vor der Saison Juan Carlos Mandiá von Hércules loseisen konnte und die Kantabrier durchaus für ihre Gelassenheit und Kontinuität bekannt sind, war dann aufgrund großer Medienkritik der Druck auf Mandiá wegen des viertletzten Tabellenplatzes zu groß, sodass Racing die Reißleine zog.

Ganz so weit ist Xerez noch nicht. Der Aufsteiger, der auch vor der Saison seinen Trainer gewechselt hat, hat einen alles andere als guten Saisonstart hingelegt und steht momentan ziemlich hoffnungslos mit Málaga am Tabellenende da, da die Mannschaft offensichtlich nicht die Qualität hat, in der ersten Liga zu spielen. Der Sprung war wohl doch eine Nummer zu groß, aber dem Vernehmen nach soll im Wintertransferfenster „groß“ eingekauft werden. Man wird sehen.

Ebenso muss man sehen, was Villareal macht. Das gelbe U-Boot, dessen zweite Mannschaft in der zweiten Liga mithält, spielt eine enttäuschende Saison im Jahr eins nach Pellegrini. Sollte Pellegrini tatsächlich abgelöst werden, wäre es, denke ich, durchaus im Bereich des Möglichen, dass er wieder nach Villareal zurückkehrt.

Denn sonst stünde schlimmstenfalls noch der Gang in die zweite Liga an, wo momentan die Liga von Cartagena angeführt wird. Völlig überraschend, da Cartagena erst aus der dritten Liga aufgestiegen ist und eher als Abstiegskandidat galt. Mit oben dabei ist auch, wie schon im letzten Jahr, Hércules. Der Club aus Alicante liegt als Zweiter auf Aufstiegskurs und hat die Abgänge von Trainer Mandiá, Kapitän Sergio Fernández und Sturmführer Rubén Navarro offensichtlich gut verkraftet und wirkt stärker als letzte Saison, was wohl auch unmittelbar mit Neuverpflichtung Rufete zusammenhängt, der der rechten Außenbahn von Hércules frischen Wind verpasst hat. Völlig enttäuschend bis jetzt ist das Abschneiden von dem Club von David Odonkor, Betis Sevilla. Letztes Jahr überraschend abgestiegen, sollte dieses Jahr der sofortige Wiederaufstieg klargemacht werden. Momentan befindet man sich aber weit davon entfernt und dümpelt im Mittelfeld der Tabelle herum, umgeben von Vereinen wie Gimnàstic de Tarragona, Elche, Villareal B oder Numancia.

Das soll es jetzt erst einmal mit dem kurzen bisherigen Saisonfazit gewesen sein. Bis dahin, La vida puede ser maravillosa!

I bought Hercules ACT Ryder 105 from RR Cycle, Madiwala in Oct, 2009. I bought it in Rs. 7300 which include an Allen key set, water bottle and mount, small Hand air pump (not of much use), Manual (with some 4 free services from any Hercules dealer till 2 years). Bought helmet (bTwin Rs 600), Lock(Rs 260 long cable one..), Bell(Rs. 60 matching black color to handle bar).

From that day almost daily I am going for morning rides and when ever get a chance going for weekend long rides. I drove the cycle for around 350-400 Km till now. I am enjoying every bit of my ride and decision of buying ACT 105.

My experience of the cycle is

1. Gears – Tourney gears in the cycle are good. Rear gear shift is smooth and very good. Front gear shift is giving me some problem as the cable for the gear is loose I think, I went to RR cycle couple of time for fix. But same thing coming up again. Due to that I am not able to go down to gear 1 in front. But that is not causing any major issue as I never felt going down to first gear in front in Bangalore city rides. But I want to get that fixed and going back to RR Cycle soon. Gear shift in front is also smooth for me and I never had any issue in shifting other than mentioned above.

2. Gear Shifter – I think ACT 105 gear shifters are just blessing in disguise. They are kind of hidden in the shifter grip. I feel they are good because they are not directly visible and when you leave your bike in parking people just not play with gears. Shifters are good in shifting as you don’t have to change the grip for gear shift. But initially they gave me pain in the palm but switching to biking gloves made things fine. Rear shifter comes with display, by making some small adjustment to the shifter able to see the display from the top of the bike in riding position easily, which is good as it help to know about the back gear combination.

3. Mud Guards –  Bike come with company fitted plastic mud guards, which are not very good in heavy rain and water. Need to switch to metal one’s if going to do regular rain rides. As I feel they are enough as if you are riding in rain you don’t bother some more splashes come to you other than rain. For me they are fine and adding good looks to bike.

4. Weight – comes with aluminium body which makes it lighter to some extends, I carry bike to my apartment on 2nd floor without much problem. One of my friend in building owning Trek told it is on heavier side thou.

5. Brakes –  V Brakes are fine and good in all the situations. I tried them in fast speed and rain and they allow bike to come to stand still as soon as you apply them. Front brake lever touch the mud guard but due to the plastic mud guard really don’t provide any resistance.

6. Saddle – comes with large saddle which is really comfortable and supportive. I like the saddle as it provide enough space to accommodate person like me with large size. Saddle post was not long enough for my height, got it replaced with longer one and able to bring the perfect sitting position.

7. Frame and tyre – Frame is sturdy and feel strong with my weight also (80 Kg), even in bad roads bike gives strong feeling. I tried it on some bad roads in the area and frame feels strong. Tyres are nice and comes with black rim adding good appeal to the bike. Tyre grip is good. I tried turning on sand covered road and finds them good. Air pressure sustaining power is good as I have not visited the air pressure shop till now (I bought it on 11 Oct, 2009 and today is 19 Nov).

8. Color and graphics – Black blue combination of the bike is really good. Mud guards, cycle rim and handle bar is also colored black to make it look really cool. If hercules might have painted the small portion of the handle bar stem also back, make it look really good.

9. Front suspension – bike comes with front suspensions, as they are of no major difference riding in city, may be useful in some rough trail. I have not tried any rough trail yet, so no major comments on front suspensions.

10. Some other accessories –  Water bottle with holder is good option, using it in dry time is good. As in rain dirty water get splashed on the bottle and bottle does not come with cap. Side stand is nice and comes with adjustable height option good on uneven places. Side stand feels strong and holds bike firmly.

Overall experience after some 350 Km ride is good and bike has not demoralized me to give up hobby. Bike even helps me to go more and try extra distance every time. I am very happy I decided on biking as a hobby and it is really helping me. After adopting the hobby my stress level is noticeably low and I feel good about myself.

I am planning to go to office on cycle very soon as I am looking for some place for shower as my office not provide any on residency road. As soon I am able to solve the shower issue I start commuting to office on cycle.

Conclusion – My experience with the cycle is good and I give it 8.5/10 for early riders. I am also happy that I choose something Indian made for the same too (you know… Mera Bharat Mahan ). I recommend bike to the users planning to adopt cycle after long interval. I am planning for some long rides soon, I will post more reviews after that.

LAUNCH OF THE OHIO 74.

Behold the stately pond’rous ship,
High on the rocks, Majestic tow’rs!
To move her from her station there,
Would seem beyond all human pow’rs;
Yet she is destin’d soon to ride,
Upon the bosom of the tide.

Th’ appointed hour at length arrives,
And lo! the signal now is given;
When to her destin’d element,
With force resistless she is driven;
And never did the yielding wave,
A prouder, nobler freight receive.

Success attend thee, gallant ship,
Where’er thou may’st in future sail,
And may no force that ploughs the deep,
Against thee e’er in fight prevail;
And may thy sides of stubborn oak,
By no opposing foe be broke.

And should’st thou ere be doom’d to meet
Old JOHNNY BULL in dread array,
Thine Eagle shall pluck out his eyes,
Thy HERCULES,* his lion slay’
And ever shall OHIO ride,
Victorious on the swelling tide.

H

*The figure head of the Ohio is a Hercules wrapped in a lion’s skin.

Well, it’s now five months later and the best I can say for this story is that it’s finally over.  Thank. Freaking. God.  With “The Unspoken”, I feel that Mighty Avengers has hit something of a sophomore slump.  I finally gave up on this issue, and the overall storyline, about halfway through when, during a giant-sized fight with the Unspoken, Pym says “You’ve chosen to spend your time wallowing in past mistakes…not learning from them and moving on.”  I thought this was terribly apropos as it’s exactly what Slott and Gage have done.  These are both smart guys and good writers, and yet their sprawling story was exactly the kind of uninspired, MacGuffin-driven nonsense that was in style back in the 70s.  I’d like the think the bar in storytelling has risen considerably higher since those halcyon days, and yet this story utterly failed to become anything more than a less-than-average potboiler.

This story more or less seems to have been hatched for no other reason than to bring the various Avengers teams together for the upcoming ‘Siege’ storyline.  There is some value to this decision, as it was truly entertaining to see characters from the Initiative, New, and Mighty Avengers interacting with each other.  However, considering what a non-threat the Unspoken turned out to be, (which was a shame considering how much time the writers spent building him up to be a Serious Villain) and the disappointing way the Xerogen gas was finally resolved (really, Pym?  That was your great solution?  Kind of a buzzkill for the guy Eternity named Earth’s Scientist Supreme), I almost wish Pym would have called up the other teams and invited them over for beers and Xbox since it would have achieved the same goal, been just as entertaining, and taken up a fraction of the issues.

Despite an incredibly uninteresting, disappointing storyline, culminating in this issue that proved to be too little too late, I nonetheless feel like this book is headed in a direction that’s going to pay off in a big way down the road. Of the crop of Avengers books being published right now, this is the one that keeps me coming back month after month because I believe in its potential, even when the comic doesn’t live up to it.

Ajay Sukumaran in The Telegraph, Calcutta:

“The man who performed the Herculean feat of getting the BJP to power in the south is now carrying out, like the Greek hero, the tasks ordered to keep his government intact…. But unlike Hercules, whose labours such as slaying the nine-headed Hydra, were a test of his strength, Yeddyurappa’s tasks are seen as giving the rebels more muscle.”

A rumor dropped about a CoOp mode being added to God of War 3. Examiner.com reported in this post they contacted Sony and received and answer from Eric Levine “This news is false.” The rumor gave me plenty of ideas of Kratos destroying enemies while teaming up with a bow-and -arrow using Athena, Hercules teaming with Kratos while beating down opponents with his bare hands, and Nariko from Heavenly Sword combined with Kratos creating a dream team and becoming a nightmare for any god. The rumor sparked my imagination, how about you guys post in the comments what ideas that came to you.

En Vivenavalmoral se han hecho eco de la iniciativa de éste blog, “S.O.S. Hércules” y han pedido información a Jorge Gómez, el cual les ha informado de que el proyecto ya estaba en marcha, antes de que nosotros iniciáramos ésta propuesta.

Efectivamente, es un hecho de que el nuevo hábitat de Hércules, ya estaba en marcha antes de que se publicara la recogida de firmas. Lo que es justo, es justo.

La nota en Vivenavalmoral.com:

El concejal responsable de Parques, Jorge Gómez, afirma que las mejoras nada tienen que ver con la iniciativa vecinal que consideraba insuficientes las instalaciones actuales.

El Ayuntamiento de Talayuela va a mejorar considerablemente las instalaciones en las que vive “Hércules”, el oso pardo que habita desde hace casi una década en el Parque Natural de Talayuela y que se ha convertido en un animal emblemático en el municipio.

La mejora en el hábitat del oso ha sido avanzada a Vivenavalmoral.com por el concejal responsable de Parques, Jorge Gómez, que ha asegurado que se trata de un proyecto que ya estaba elaborado y que nada tiene que ver con la movilización llevada a cabo por un blog talayuelano.

El blog ha impulsado una campaña llamada “S.O.S Hércules” que ha consistido en la denuncia de las insuficientes condiciones que presentaban las instalaciones del oso y que ha recogida por Internet cerca de 400 firmas de apoyo procedentes de lugares tan distantes de Talayuela como Australia, Sudáfrica, Estados Unidos, Kenia o México, así como de un buen número de países europeos.

Así de plácido podrá estar Hércules muy pronto

Gómez ha explicado que las nuevas instalaciones del oso pardo estarán listas a principios de 2010, pasando las mismas de los cerca de 50 metros cuadrados actuales a los 1.200.

El nuevo hogar de “Hércules” se ubicará en un lugar diferente dentro del parque, dispondrá de una charca con agua corriente de más de 20 metros cuadrados que incluirá una cascada y contará también con una cueva artificial de unos 40 metros cuadrados en los que el animal podrá comer, descansar y recibir las atenciones precisas sin que sea molestado desde el exterior.

La nueva instalación se ubicará en una zona arbolada del pinar de Talayuela que permitirá que el animal disponga de un ambiente más llevadero que el actual.

Gómez, que es concejal de Iniciativa Talayuela -socio del PP en el gobierno-, ha asegurado que “el proyecto ya estaba hecho” antes de que surgiera el movimiento vecinal de ayuda al animal y ha afirmado que “Hércules ha contado siempre con cuidados perfectos”.

“El oso es un ciudadano más de Talayuela”, ha indicado el concejal, que ha destacado la importancia que “Hércules” tiene para los talayuelanos.

El ejemplar de oso pardo, que fue recogido en Talayuela hace casi una década cuando había sido abandonado por un circo y se encontraba en un estado calamitoso, es propiedad legal de María Luisa Barba, que lo cedió en su día al Ayuntamiento.

On Thursdays I have Reading and Writing Poetry with The Big Name in the Creative Writing Department. No one will deny that The Big Name knows what she’s talking about because she actually wrote the book on writing poetry, but that just makes the sting all the worse when you get your poem back riddled with comments like:

“Why the torturous syntax?”

“We, as readers, are given no indication that the speaker is trying to dig below the surface at all.”

“A pyrrhic/spondee pairing? That’s comical.”

Pyrrhic/spondee pairing? I can’t even take her insults at face value, I have to go to the back of her book and look these terms up in her glossary. As it turns out, the pyrrhic and the spondee are metrical feet with specific stressed and unstressed patterns. But I am meter-deaf. Everything looks iambic to me. It’s like making fun of a blind guy because his socks don’t match. You don’t do that.

But this Thursday, I couldn’t face The Big Name. I only got four hours of sleep the night before, and her class is at nine-thirty. I got four hours of sleep because I saw Paranormal Activity Monday night, and since then, the only way I can fall asleep is by watching episodes of South Park until the point of exhaustion (to keep my mind off of the demon that may or may not be standing right next to my bed). But I don’t make a habit of skipping classes, so I shower and dance around my room to Beck’s “Debra” on repeat until I am ready to face the day.

I am not the only one who is afraid of The Big Name. When I arrive that morning, munching what is left of a candy bar that I was too terrified to finish during Paranormal Activity, another student is turning the clock a few minutes ahead. She informs those of us who are present that she is doing this because The Big Name uses that clock, and this way, we can get out a few minutes earlier.

The Big Name arrives in a flurry of papers a few minutes late, and apologizes for being later than normal. She’s not, but the clock tells her she is. Everyone watches as she moves to a seat on the far side of the table. The kids on that end tense up, afraid she will smell the TV on them. The Big Name is very glad she doesn’t own a TV anymore. She told me so herself.

She begins to read her favorite lines from our imitations of Milton’s Paradise Lost. I don’t even get my hopes up. I wrote my imitation about Luke Skywalker’s duel with Darth Vader at Cloud City. I used a metaphor involving the word “asteroid.” The only way she might find my poem charming would be if she mistook it for  a Biblical allusion.

There is a major disparity between those things which The Big Name deems as having merit and the things I deem as having merit. She loves all poems about famous ballerinas, Greek epics, and classic operas. I know no famous ballerinas, although I know that Degas painted them a lot. I have read The Iliad and The Odyssey, I have seen Disney’s Hercules, but my knowledge of classical literature (and cinema) stops there. I have also seen the cinematic version of The Phantom of the Opera, but I have no urge to write poetry about any of these things.

While I don’t wholly expect The Big Name to deem Star Wars as having merit, I did expect her to know who The Lorax was. She didn’t. Which meant my Petrachan Sonnet titled “The Lorax of Old Maxwell Street” meant nothing to her. She also has never heard of Doubt. In one poem I referenced a bass guitar. She asked me if I meant “a bass fiddle.”

Before class ends, The Big Name informs me a poem that I wrote is so heavily enjambed that it is impossible to discern the meter. I determine that this is like telling a guy in a wheelchair that his top bookshelves need dusting. I write this down in my list of similes that I think The Big Name would positively hate right below “dander flying up off the dog, glinting in the sunlight – like snowfall in reverse.” The Big Name has noted that many of my poems involve “too much detritus.”

Class adjourns four minutes ahead of schedule, and I am left unscathed, save that stab about enjambment.
