When Gideon called his daughter, Naomi, to ask for $25 recently, she naturally assumed the worst. She just knew he needed money for his recurring drug habits, but that wasn't the case. This time, something wonderful and exciting had happened: Gideon had been given the chance to work in the prison's leather shop, where inmates make products like purses, belts, and even gun holsters.
A lot for a little
Leroy, an inmate who worked in the leather shop, was scheduled to be paroled the following Tuesday and was selling his leatherworking tools and supplies to raise money for his new life on the outside. The 69-year-old spent 31 years—nearly half his life—in prison and has few marketable skills, so getting the most money for his supplies and tools was important.
Still, Leroy was willing to make Gideon a deal on some of the items. For $25, Gideon could buy a "starter kit" that included:
- Four belts;
- Belt buckles;
- Black, green, and purple dyes;
- Rollers (to roll out leather so it can be stamped);
- Letter stamps;
- Stamps of an eagle, sea shells, and a half moon;
- A little lace;
- A leather punch;
- A rubber mallet; and
- A few pieces of leather for practice.
Cutting a deal
Naomi was skeptical about sending the money, despite Gideon's excitement at the opportunity. Gideon spent most of the previous weekend asking his family to pay a drug debt, and he was drunk on jailhouse wine when he called a few days later. (He sold six jars of wine for another inmate to get one for himself.) Naomi was afraid her father would use the money for more drugs or booze. "Wouldn't you be?" she asked.
Gideon was desperate. He didn't want to miss a rare shot to work in the leather shop. Inmates must get permission to work in the shop, and it's very difficult to get a good spot on the list. "The list is so long, and everything is so corrupt about the deal," Gideon complained. "You slip the guard $5, and he'll move you up the list."
Gideon knew he had to come up with the money fast. Leroy had already put Gideon's name on his locker in the shop and was expecting him to take his place, but the soon-to-be free man couldn't wait long. In fact, Leroy was holding the tools and supplies for Gideon even though other inmates were lined up in his cell to purchase them. "He just likes me and is trying to help me out," Gideon explained.
After looking up Leroy's sentence and parole date to make sure he really was being released, Naomi agreed to pay the $25 in hopes that learning a new skill will be a positive hobby for her father. Not only will leatherworking allow Gideon to make money by selling his products, but it will also give him something to do. "It's definitely a time-passer," he said.
The next day, Gideon called back to ask for another $25 to buy more dyes, stamps, buckles, and snaps from Leroy. It was obvious he felt guilty about asking for more money, but he had no choice if he wanted to buy the supplies at a low price. If he couldn't make a deal with Leroy now, he would have to purchase the items from the commissary's craft list later, an expensive proposition. "The only reason it's right now is because we can't get [the supplies] for that price later," Gideon noted.
This time, however, Naomi balked because other expenses—namely, car insurance and student loans—have added up recently. Gideon's mother, Ruth, didn't respond well, either. "Mama blowed a gasket when I talked to her," he said.
'A never-ending money pit'
Because the tools and supplies are pricey, Gideon knows his new hobby must make enough money to sustain itself. "It's a never-ending money pit to just keep doing it," he explained. "It's expensive to buy all these things if you have to start from scratch. It's a never-ending process of collecting tools."
Guards haven't opened the leather shop since Gideon bought his tools and supplies because the prison has been short-staffed. Extras like the leather shop aren't accessible unless the prison has enough guards to ensure security. "Right now, I just want to get up there and play with it—see what I can do with what I got," Gideon lamented.
Gideon knows it will take a while for him to develop his leatherworking skills and make products he can sell, so his goal is to find an experienced leatherworker who will teach him the trade once the shop reopens. "For the next couple months, I'll just be playing. I hope someone will feel sorry for me and try to show me something," he joked. His first project will be to imprint a picture of an eagle and draw a shadow behind it to make it stand out from the leather.
Gideon can learn some skills, such as lacing, in his cell before the leather shop reopens. Belts, purses, and other items produced in the shop are held together with lacing. Gideon acknowledged that he should've learned how to lace items years ago. "There's always someone willing to pay you because they don't want to do it," he said.

unfortunately jon had to go to kansas today :( dell is sending him all the way there when he could totally do the job remotely from our house. oh well, i am sure it has something to do with keeping the customers happy. jon is so good at his job, he has to go into situations where the customers (big companies not just individuals) are not exactly pleased with dell. sometimes their machines have broken or need updates that require down time. anyway, jon goes in and he always manages to get the job done as well as change the attitude of the customer. he even has customers that request him to come out again the next time they need help. it also doesn't hurt to have my very own personal tech guy around the house :) although occasionally it back fires...he is always playing around with our home system and making changes. i come home and my computer doesn't work or won't print, etc...
today when i came home i had an email from jon telling me to check out a website. the link took me to a website for the dell mini 9 (the new dell netbook). look how small it is! i have been talking about how my lap top is too heavy to carry to school and how someday i want something smaller. this is perfect! it is tiny and light, and is perfect for being on the go. it doesn't have huge storage and it doesn't have a cd or dvd drive, but other than that it is a regular laptop. i think we are going to get one! it will be so easy for me to take to school (since all my professors post their powerpoints online). it would also be great to take on vacations! jon said he was going to look more at it tonight...i'm keeping my fingers crossed that that means he is going to buy it tonight....right perfect husband of mine?!?! :)
okay so here is my productive weekend plan...
later this afternoon i have to go to a meeting...i am really excited because it is for the little girl i go to school with and her teacher is coming too! i think it is great that she is willing to take a couple hours after a long work day and come meet with us, because she truly wants to make the classroom environment the most productive for this little girl...very cool! after the meeting i think i am going to take hiro out to auditorium shores to get some energy out...he loves to play with the other dogs and swim. once that is done i am planning on coming home to finish my research. i need to read and review 2 more articles and i want to finish it up before jon gets home tomorrow.
saturday: i am going to wake up early and go shopping! i need to buy some new clothes for work and i want to pick up some fun accessories. jon gets home around 1 so i need to be done by then so we can spend the afternoon together. i will have to think of something fun for us to do tomorrow night.
sunday: jon has his first soccer game of the fall season. he joined a new team over the summer and is going to continue to play with them this fall. i really like this new team, the guys are all very nice and so are the wives/girlfriends (which makes it even more fun to go watch). unfortunately i am not going to be able to make the first game :( i have to meet with my class partner to compile our literature review paper that is due on wed...um we just started class last week and we already have papers due...yuck!
well i think that is all i have planned right now...keep your fingers crossed about the netbook...i NEED/want one!!!

Plymouth, formed in April 1998, was also accused of inadequate planning. Its inspection came just 17 months after the council was set up, despite earlier pledges from the Government that new unitaries would not be inspected until they were at least two years old.
Inspectors found that significant weaknesses outweighed any strengths, and said that while council services were economically efficient, they were not effective. They warned that the "formidable" list of improvements would have to be tackled urgently.
"We know we can always do better," said education chairman Jack Jones. "But ... we are heading in the right direction."
Sohail Faruqi, director of lifelong learning, said the report was written as if the authority had been in existence for 17 years rather than 17 months.
"It does not fully reflect a remark made after the inspection by one senior inspector who told us that it was difficult to see how we coul have achieved more in the time available."
Plymouth, with 111 schools, has higher-than-average unemployment and is feeling the effects of the demise of the naval industry which once dominated the city.
Children's developmental level on entering primary school is lower than average and attainment at key stages 1 and 2 is below national standards and not improving quickly enough, according to the inspectors.
At key stage 2, results are in line with national averages, at key stage 4, higher. The authority has an education action zone, employment zone and health action zone.

Hey all!
I've noticed recently in headlights behind now it's dark a lot that when I accelerate under 2000 revs it fills the road behind with smoke, although when it reaches over 2000 the smoke seems to stop. It does this in all gears by the way.
I had the MOT last month and the emissions result was 1.43, max being 1.50!!!
Anyone know what the obvious things are to do to stop it smoking so much? If anything more for the MOT next year....

10 beach safety tips
Heading to the beach this summer? The RNLI gives advice on how you and your family can stay safe.
1. Head to a lifeguarded beach
On a lifeguarded beach there are trained professionals to help keep you and your family safe – they'll be on hand if something goes wrong, in or out of the water.
If you have any questions, or want advice on staying safe at the beach when you get there, go and have a chat with our lifeguards and they'll be happy to help.
The RNLI has around 1,500 RNLI lifeguards (including volunteers) on over 240 beaches around the UK. To find your nearest lifeguarded beach, use our find my nearest lifeguarded beach tool.

2. Know what the signs and flags mean
On lifeguarded beaches, you will see flags up. It's important to know what these mean, as they will indicate whether it's safe to go in the water, and which activity it is safe to do, and where.
If you're ever unsure, talk to one of our lifeguards who can help you.
Red and yellow flags
Meaning: Lifeguarded area. This is the safest area to swim, bodyboard and use inflatables.

Black and white chequered flags
Meaning: For surfboards, stand-up paddleboards, kayaks and other non-powered craft. This is the launch and recovery area for kitesurfers and windsurfers. Never swim or bodyboard here.

Red flag
Meaning: DANGER! Never go in the water under any circumstances when the red flag is flying

Orange windsock
This indicates offshore or strong wind conditions. Never use inflatables when the windsock is flying.

3. Look out for rip currents and know how to stay safe
A rip current is a strong current running out to sea, which can quickly drag you out to sea.
Choose a lifeguarded beach and always swim between the red and yellow flags, which have been marked based on where is safer to swim in the current conditions.
If you do find yourself caught in a rip:
- Don't try to swim against it or you'll get exhausted
- If you can stand, wade don't swim
- If you can, swim parallel to the shore until free of the rip and then head for shore
- Always raise your hand and shout for help
If you see someone else in trouble, alert the lifeguards or dial 999 or 112 and ask for the coastguard.
4. Swimming in the sea – consider your abilities
Before you or your family get in the water, it's important to consider your ability and the conditions - the sea can be a very demanding environment, and is different to swimming in a pool.
Every summer, the RNLI and Amateur Swimming Association (ASA) hold Swim Safe sessions for 7-14 year olds at selected beaches and lakes. The sessions are free and teach children vital skills to stay safe in and around open water.
5. Make sure you and your family know what to do if you get into trouble
If you or your family get into trouble in the water, make sure you and your family know to dial 999 or 112 and ask for the coastguard.
A whistle is a simple and effective method of calling for help when close to shore. When venturing further offshore carry a suitable means of calling for help, such as a waterproof and fully charged VHF, or flares.
Don't forget the international distress signal of hand waving and shouting for help.
6. Inflatables
Inflatable toys and airbeds can easily be swept out to sea. Seek advice from lifeguards to check if the beach and conditions are suitable.
If there is an offshore wind, don't go out on inflatables. On a lifeguarded beach, look out for the orange windsock and don't use inflatables if it's flying.
If you do use inflatables at the beach:
- Ensure children are closely supervised
- Keep near the shore
- Only use between the red and yellow flags
- Follow the lifeguard's advice
- Do not take out in big waves
- Never use them when orange windsock is flying – this indicates offshore winds which will blow inflatables further out to sea.
7. Stay safe when bodyboarding
If you're at a lifeguarded beach, make sure you always bodyboard between the red and yellow flags.
Always wear your leash and hold onto your board if you get into trouble – it will help you float.
Check the local forecast for wind, tide and swell.
8. Know what to do if your child goes missing at the beach
Children are safest when supervised.
As soon as you get to a beach, agree a meeting point in case of separation. If the beach runs a children's safety scheme, using wristbands or tickets, take part. They're free and they work. If you're on an RNLI lifeguarded beach, visit the lifeguard hut on arrival and they can give you special wristbands to put your contact details on.
Make sure your children know where the lifeguards are, and that if they find themselves lost, to go and find a lifeguard as they will be able to help reunite them with you.
If a child does go missing:
- Calmly check your surroundings first, ensuring other children remain supervised
- Contact the lifeguards or police and keep them informed
- Let all searchers know once the child is found
9. Stay safe in the sun
The sun can be incredibly strong at this time of year, even on cloudy days. Make sure children are covered up where possible, and have a good high factor sun cream on. Always reapply after being in the sea and regularly throughout the day.
- Sunscreen –reapply SPF 30+ broad-spectrum waterproof sunscreen every two hours
- Sun hat – put on a broad-brimmed hat that shades your face, neck and ears
- Sunglasses – wear wrap-around sunglasses with UV protection to shield your eyes
- Shoulders –put on a T-shirt or UV protective suit for children and remember to keep your shoulders covered
Shade – seek shade, particularly during the hottest time of the day between 11am and 3pm when UV penetration is at its strongest.
10. Don't get cut off by the tide
A beach can seem like a vast playground but the tide can come in surprisingly quickly. To avoid getting cut off by the tide:
- Before you head out, make sure it's safe. Check the tide tables.
- While you're out, be aware of your surroundings and the tide's direction.
- If you do get cut off by the tide, dial 999 and ask for the coastguard.
You can check beach specific forecasts by typing in the name of the beach you're heading to on the Met Office UK forecast page and find tide times.

Question about Cars & Trucks
I cannot open the tailgate. The passenger window does not work.the lights do not flash on locking or unlocking. The fault is intermittent - it will all work for a short while then stop again.any ideas!!
Posted by Paul batchelor on
The circuit on the driver side door is probably messed up. why I say that is when you try to unlock your car the first lock that it opens is the driver side, and when you press the button twice, it opens the rest of the car.

SOURCE: Power door locks won't unlock + tailgate won't open
your issue involves the master control switch panel on the drivers side and or the passenger side as well some how the contact inside the switch assembly has either shorted out or no longer makes contact for the unlock side of the circuit. replace the drivers side panel switchs it's either a series of switc hs or mostimes one sigle board of switchs. you are better off going to an auto parts store rather than a GM dealership this will save you quite a bit on cash on the parts. now as to the rear tailgate. if it is electronic controled and there is an issue with the master switch you can,t manually unlock it because of a safty issue built in the system. you can manually unlock the passenger compartment doors for thew same reasons of safety but doesn't apply to the tailgate. just replace the parts and this will take care of the problem

SOURCE: 1996 Isuzu Rodeo stuck tail gate
Remove the interior trim panel which will not be easy since the gate is up ---- you can then access the lock mechanism and will probably find a bent linkage rod or a broken plastic retainer clip.

SOURCE: 2003 Trailblazer LTZ Tailgate and back window won't unlatch
I am not sure how to manually release the latch....
if it is electronic, i would check the fuse for it.....normally though on the inside there is a little access to things like that, so you can manually open it...would be like a small lever.
Posted on Jul 07, 2009
SOURCE: 2008 Tahoe-Remote won't lock or unlock the Drivers side lock
more than likely the lock solenoid in the driver side door is not working. it located near the latch inside the door.

Testimonial: "Thanks"
SOURCE: 1987 toyota 4runner tailgate window stopped working
If you haven't already done so check fuses and all the obvious stuff first :P
The switch inside the truck and the key switch on the tailgate work from a ground source. That ground can be interrupted by 2 safety switches relating to the tailgate window operation. 1 safety switch is the top removal switch which is depressed when a specific bold that holds the fiberglass top is installed. It is located behind the drivers side trim panel in the cargo area about half way back from the rear seat. When you take that bolt out and take the top off you cant roll the window up. This is however most likely not the problem.
The second switch is actually inside the drivers side tailgate latch. This was the culprit when I had the same problem and seems to be a likely point of failure. First off, remove the switch for the window from the center consol and check the connector for ground on the common contact (usually center but check them all). If there is no continuity to ground then this is a sure sign that one of those safety switches is faulty (assuming no broken wires). You can check the first switch but is most likely a waste of time.
To remove the tailgate latch you first need to get the tailgate open and if your window doesn't work it needs to be rolled down first. Using any small gauge wire attach one end to a ground source and touch the other end to the connector contacts for the window switch you removed. One of the contacts to ground will roll the window down, the other up, and the third will do nothing that you will notice.
After the window is down, lower the tailgate and remove trim panel and everything else necessary to get to the drivers tailgate latch and remove it. It has a 2 wire connector attached to it. After it is removed place a jumper in the 2 wire connector and test your console switch for ground, if it has a ground then that was your problem.
I cant remember if the glass was in the way but if it is you can roll it up with the tailgate down with the jumper method above just have a friend lift the glass as it comes out so it doesn't damage or scratch it and have it braced with a table or something. Don't let the glass out with the tailgate down without helping it, it isn't designed to do so and could damage stuff.
When I pulled the latch and took it apart it was full of mud, I even removed the very tiny switch from it and took the switch apart to clean it. That part was very difficult because the parts were very small and not meant to be pulled apart very easily. The little contact was no larger in daimeter then a #2 pencil lead and only a 1/4" long and spring loaded when you open the switch. I cleaned everything, put it back together and it worked great.
That is until now, 2 years later it started doing the same thing again. I took great lengths in sealing everything to keep mud out and everthing and it only lasted 2 years, oh well. In short, it may be expensive but a new latch assembly might be a good idea. I have to do this job soon myself... again.
I would check for this problem before looking at the relay control because the relay control is a little more difficult to get to.

Clinical Information
Q fever, a rickettsial infection caused by Coxiella burnetii, has been recognized as a widely distributed zoonosis with the potential for causing both sporadic and epidemic disease. The resistance of Coxiella burnetii to heat, chemical agents, and desiccation allows the agent to survive for extended periods outside the host.
The infection is spread by the inhalation of infected material, mainly from sheep and goats. They shed the organism in feces, milk, nasal discharge, placental tissue, and amniotic fluid.
The clinical spectrum of disease ranges from unapparent to fatal. Respiratory manifestations usually predominate; endocarditis and hepatitis can be complications.
During the course of the infection, the outer membrane of the organism undergoes changes in its lipopolysaccharide structure, called phase variation. Differences in phase I and phase II antigen presentation can help determine if the infection is acute or chronic:
-In acute Q fever, the phase II antibody is usually higher than the phase I titer, often by 4-fold, even in early specimens. Although a rise in phase I as well as phase II titers may occur in later specimens, the phase II titer remains higher.
-In chronic Q fever, the reverse situation is generally seen. Serum specimens drawn late in the illness from chronic Q fever patients demonstrate significantly higher phase I titers, sometimes much greater than 4-fold.
-In the case of chronic granulomatous hepatitis, IgG and IgM titers to phase I and phase II antigens are quite elevated, with phase II titers generally equal to or greater than phase I titers.
-Titers seen in Q fever endocarditis are similar in magnitude, although the phase I titers are quite often higher than the phase II titers.

During the winter months, it is common to be faced with treacherous road conditions. From ice to snow to sleet, you must know how to control your vehicle in the safest way possible.
Did you ever consider the fact that driving in strong wind can be challenging as well? When the wind picks up this winter, these tips will improve your chance of remaining safe while driving:
Slow down. Crosswinds will make it a challenge to control your vehicle, so it is best to slow down and maintain a safe speed for the conditions.
Keep both hands on the wheel. This is something you should be doing at all times, but is even more important when the wind is blowing hard.
Keep a safe distance from trucks and buses. The higher the vehicle the more difficult it is to control in strong winds. For this reason, you don't want to drive in close proximity to trucks or buses.
Beware of flying debris. From tree limbs to trash cans, you never know what will fly around when the wind begins to whip.
Don't get comfortable. Just because the winds die down for a period of time doesn't mean things will stay this way. It is important to keep up your guard, as it only takes one gust to cause major problems.
With these five tips in mind, you will find it easier to drive in strong winds this winter season. If for any reason you don't believe your vehicle is safe enough to make it through the winter, contact us for an inspection and professional advice.

These days, it's not difficult to find a SEO Bay Area firm. It is, however, difficult finding one that delivers as promised. Not every SEO firm does. Search engine optimization isn't easy. If it was, everyone with a website and a little time on their hands would be rich. Unfortunately, that's not the case. It takes a great deal of skill, effort and knowledge to best the search engines and very few people or firms know how. It is, therefore, very important to pre-qualify SEO Bay Area firms. They need to be proven, reliable and affordable. A quality company can make a big impact on a company's bottom line. By targeting the right keywords and getting high rankings for them, an entrepreneur or business can generate leads and if their offer is good and the correct market has been targeted, they can expect increased sales and subsequently, revenues.
It is extremely important that the web owner obtaining SEO services has expectations which match the capabilities of the SEO firm they decide to hire. A web owner seeking such services may be expecting to have their website ranked well for super competitive keywords. While this may or may not be possible, it is important to determine upfront whether or not it's likely. Being clear about what is expected and what can be delivered is crucial. This type of discussion should happen early in the process so that there aren't any misunderstandings. Putting things in writing is a necessity. It protects both parties.
Search engine traffic is coveted amongst marketers and with good reasons. It is laser targeted when the right keywords are chosen. Another perk is the price. It's free except for the cost of getting the site ranked by a SEO Bay Area firm. This differs from other forms of internet traffic, many which require payment, for instance, pay-per-click marketing. Pay-per-click advertising, while potentially effective, can be very expensive.
When a site is ranked high for a keyword, anytime a person types in that keyword, the website will show up in the search engines. Web users typically check the first 2-3 pages of results. If they don't find what they are looking for on these pages, most assume that it can't be found using that particular keyword and they try another one. This is why it is so important to get one's website on the first 2 to 3 pages of results. These typically receive the most traffic and subsequently, sales. Getting ranked high for quality keywords can result in exactly that, money. Again, the quality of the offer, in addition to the web page design will play a big role in determining whether a particular SEO campaign succeeds or fails.

How do the film makers of Chicken Run use presentational devices to reveal the good and evil in the characters of Ginger and Mrs Tweedy?
Extracts from this document...
Kit Carrau 24/01/02 The Chicken Run How do the film makers of Chicken Run use presentational devices to reveal the good and evil in the characters of Ginger and Mrs Tweedy? The Chicken Run is a story of how a group of chickens from 'coop 17' try and escape with the help of Rocky, an American flying rooster. It is set in the present day on a chicken farm in England that is owned and run by Mrs Tweedy and her husband Mr Tweedy. In the Chicken Run the main characters are Ginger, Rocky, Mrs Tweedy, Mr Tweedy, Fowler, Babs and Bunty. The characters I will focus on in this essay are Ginger and Mrs Tweedy. I will explain how the makers of the film use presentational devices to reveal the good and evil in the characters of Ginger and Mrs Tweedy. Ginger is the main leader of the hens who is determined and extremely confident in her fight to escape from the farm. She can see what is really happening at the farm and can see that there is a different life out there where they would be free to do whatever they want. The rest of the hens are not so clever and think that living on the farm is the only way of life. Ginger is extremely tough and will not give up after being thrown in the coal shed many a time. The coal shed is where the chickens are put if they try and escape. Ginger is extremely ambitious, strong and will not take no for an answer. Mrs Tweedy is a cold, evil and domineering woman who has no respect for anyone or anything. ...read more.
This is how the film makers use lighting to show the audience what kind of characters they are. An example of when lighting is used to show good is in the first scene when Ginger and her friends are trying to escape from the farm under the wire and it is very dark. Even though it is dark, there are no shadows on Ginger. Her face is lit up. You have not met her in this scene before but you can tell that she is a pleasant and a friendly character. Another example of when lighting is used to show good and evil in the film is when Ginger is put into the coal shed for trying to escape. Even though there is no light in the shed, Ginger is not in a shadow. Her face is lit up. An example of when lighting is used to show evil is when Mrs Tweedy opens the door to Ginger and the dogs in the first scene. There is a bright light behind her. This causes a dark shadow on the front of her body. From this you know that she is an evil character even though you have not met her yet. An example of when sound effects are used to show evil is when Ginger finds the other section of Rocky's poster. As she puts the piece on the wall, thunder and lighting strike and there is a big bang. It then starts raining heavily. Ginger's emotions are reflected in the weather which makes it more shocking to the audience. In the Chicken Run, the film makers show good and evil using settings to show the good and evil of the characters. ...read more.
A mid angle camera shot shows the character to be more friendly and sociable. The most frequent camera angle used on Mrs Tweedy is a low angle. Low angle shots show the character to be big and powerful. In the chicken run Mrs Tweedy is authoritative and has low angle camera shots. The camera is from the other person's perspective and shows how small they are compared to Mrs Tweedy. This is the opposite of Ginger's camera shots. Different voices have been used in the Chicken Run to make Ginger more obviously good and Mrs Tweedy more obviously bad. Ginger's voice is very warm and calm. It is soft and you can never imagine her being evil. Mrs Tweedy's voice is loud and authoritative. It is sharp and powerful. You cannot imagine her being friendly with that voice. Music has been used in the Chicken Run to make Ginger more obviously good and Mrs Tweedy more obviously bad. When you see Ginger, the music that is used is happy and jolly. This is because she is a good character. If none of the other presentational devices were used in portraying Ginger you would know she is not an evil character by the type of music used. If there was evil music used for Ginger you would think she was evil. Evil music is used to portray Mrs Tweedy. From this you know that she is evil. The music is piercing and wicked. This is the opposite of Ginger. I have learned that these presentational devices have worked very well in portraying the good and evil in the characters to the audience. The film is not just about the characters of Ginger and Mrs Tweedy but is also how the film maker uses the presentational devices in this essay to affect the audience. - 1 - ...read more.

Chickens as Pets!
Chickens can make great pets! Pets with benefits - fresh eggs every day! My dogs and cats don't give us eggs or anything useful - just lots of love (and mischief). Chickens, as you'll see from the video, know their owners and come running! And it's not just that Farmer Man has been spoiling them a little of late; he has been generous with the scratch and The Hens and Rocky love their scratch. They always come running when we approach the coop. Chickens are currently the hot mascot of the urban homesteading movement, and there is quite a bit of controversy in some cities as citizens lobby to be able to keep a few backyard chickens.

100 Days, 100 Movies: Chinatown (1974)
Director: Roman Polanski
Starring: Jack Nicholson, Faye Dunaway, John Huston
"Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown." We never know exactly what Chinatown means to Jake, nor do we need to. By the time the film reaches its conclusion, we know enough to know that Chinatown stands for all that is corrupt, brutal and unforgiving in the world. Chinatown draws upon the archetypes of detective noir in both its literary and film forms but subverts many of the classic tropes, breaking free to create something distinct in itself. Here we have a hero who isn't quite at home in his rough and tumble world, a femme fatale who isn't as "fatale" as she seems, and an ending which leaves a distinctly bad taste in the mouth. It was, and remains, something different, something new, and something wonderful.
Jack Nicholson stars as Jake Gittes, a private detective who deals mostly in catching errant husbands and wives in the act. When one such target - Hollis Mulwray - turns up dead and Jake discovers that the woman who hired him, whom he believed to be Mrs. Mulwray, was a fraud, he's plunged into a mystery involving hidden identities, family secrets, municipal corruption and a plot to make millions by diverting water out of Los Angeles. Ultimately, Chinatown isn't just one mystery, but several woven together, connected by a few key players. One such player is the real Evelyn Mulwray (Faye Dunaway), with whom Jake quickly becomes enthralled even as it becomes increasingly obvious that there's a lot she's not telling him. By the time she gets to her final confession ("My sister! My daughter!"), it's easy to understand why Jake doesn't quite believe her and why he can't be too sure of anything anymore. It's Chinatown, a place that's foreign to Jake's understanding, where up is down, black is white, and dead men have just bought land that's about to be worth millions.
Chinatown sets itself apart from traditional detective noir in several ways, most notably through the character of Jake himself. Unlike most screen detectives, Jake doesn't quite seem to fit his role. There's a distinct sense about him that he finds his job distasteful, that he doesn't relish digging around in other people's dirt. In one scene he's called to account for some scandalous photos he's taken and given over to the papers. He jumps up defensively in counter-attack, which is in contrast to detectives of the type you'd see played by Bogart or Mitchum, who would let such a remark roll off their backs with the briefest of witty remarks.
Further distancing Jake from the prototypical detective is the way that he fits into the narrative. By nature of the genre, no screen detective is really in control of the story, but most stories stack the balance of power in the favour of the detective so that you know that, ultimately, the guy is smarter, tougher and luckier than everyone else and will come out of it more or less in tact. Not here. Jake is at the mercy of the story, constantly being knocked around and always in danger. And in the end, there's no relief for him, no satisfaction for a job well done, no knowledge that justice has been done, no girl, only remorse, bitterness and guilt. Few films are as pitiless to their protagonists as this one, which is perhaps why is seems so fitting that the character who cuts Jake up is played by director Roman Polanski.
Like Jake, Evelyn is a character who breaks free of the archetypes of the genre while also being firmly rooted in that genre. Her entry into the narrative is straight out of the classical story, the femme fatale walking into the detective's office. But Evelyn is a femme fatale in only the broadest terms because she isn't actually out to trap Jake or anyone else, but rather her desire is to save someone by ensuring that their identity and whereabouts are kept secret. She's playing Jake to an extent, keeping him close so that he doesn't get too close to the truth, but I've always thought that her intentions towards him were basically sincere. That she likes him and wants a relationship with him, but has to take care of business first. But his inability to believe that, his inability to take his own advice in the film's opening scene and "let sleeping dogs lie," will ultimately undo them both.
As the two leads, Nicholson and Dunaway are superb and play wonderfully off of each other, never quite relaxing in each other's presence, as if always on edge waiting for the other to slip. Appropriately, given the genre, John Huston appears as Evelyn's father, a quietly menacing man who informs Jake that "Politicians, ugly buildings, and whores all get respectable if they last long enough." He looms here larger than life, seeming to occupy the entire screen with his presence. When Evelyn shoots him and it has little effect, it's hardly surprising. He's more than just a man, he's a symbol of all that's corrupt and wrong with society, he's the epitome of "Chinatown," and will carry on long after everyone around him as been destroyed.
This fatalist view of the world dominates the film so that this story which takes place in sunny California (with much of the action taking place in the daytime), seems darker than it literally is. The contrast of the mystery/noir elements to the lightness of the mis en scene further emphasises how disordered is this world that we're seeing. The final scene takes place at night, the setting fitting the darkness of the tone. But by then, of course, we understand: it's Chinatown.

"a femme fatale who isn't as "fatale" as she seems"
Well said. Chinatown is a film that didn't like when I first watched it years ago, but after watching it again a few times for film classes (especially screen writing), I grew to truly appreciate it.
One of my favorite scenes is when Jake gets the real estate information. Priceless.
And Roman Polanski has a great bit in the film.

Polanski's is definitely one of the better director cameos I've ever seen.

"You committed the murder, for your clothes were stained with blood." 'This argument is not so strong if the accused admits that his clothes were bloodstained as if the fact is proved against his denial. For if he admits it, there are still a number of ways in which the blood could have got on to his clothes: if on the other hand he denies it, lie makes his whole case turn on this point, and if his contention is disproved, he will he unable to make a stand on any subsequent ground. For it will be thought that he would never have told a lie in denying the allegation, unless he had felt it a hopeless task to justify himself if he admitted it.
