Steve Jobs Lied To Me
As a life long Apple user, I am hooked into all things Apple. For the past couple of days I have been bombarded with teasers for an announcement to happen at 10 AM this morning. "Tomorrow will be just like any other day. . . that you will remember for the rest of your life." What does that mean? Perhaps it is the long awaited announcement of the IPhone to Verizon wireless. Maybe they are announcing the next generation Iphone/ Itouch. That would mean price drops. A new Macbook? Who knows? I was excited for the announcement. It would make my life worth living again. Here Apple take all my money I don't need it. I was so excited I could hardly sleep. Then Steven Jobs lied to me.
What is Apples giant, earth-shattering announcement? The Beatles are coming to Itunes. Yes that is it. All that anticipation for what? A band is coming to Itunes. I cant help but feel ripped off. All that hype for nothing. To be fair to The Beatles, if this was to announce Led Zepplin's catalogue is coming to Itunes I still would be very irritated. I wanted something more game changing then The Beatles but apparently Apple wants me to think this is a huge deal. Well I still have Mac OSX Lion to fall back on.
The lesson here kids is never have high hopes. They will always be crushed.

Anterior and posterior margins of pronotum with 2 to 6 yellowish-brown bristles. Meso- and metanota occasionally with 2 medial bristles each. Apicomedial femoral spine present. Male forewing with 19 – 22 medial spines and 16 – 19 lateral spines. Hindwing with 9 – 15 spines. Female forewing oval, covering hindwing. Male 8th tergum and sternum not fused; 9th tergum and sternum also not fused. Hood of male 9th tergum small, only about ¼ width of tergum, with medial, longitudinal cleft and no medial ridge. Only about 19 denticles on either side of cleft. Male 9th sternum apicomedially notched.
Distribution – Geographical: Adults of this species have been taken in western Montana to western Alberta and British Columbia in mountains at 4,000 to 6,200 feet.
Distribution – Temporal: Adults have been collected between 4 October and 11 April.
Ecology: The habitat of this species has been described as an alpine meadow on a snow-covered, windblown, northeast facing slope (Penny, 1977).
Biology: Nothing is known of immature stages or life cycle.
Notes: This species is a member of the nivoriundus species group with unfused 8th and 9th terga and sterna, with bristles on thoracic nota, and with a small tergal hood which lacks a medial ridge. Within this species group, B. pilosus and B. nix share a characteristic long pilosity over much of the body.

Mike Darnell on Quitting as FOX Reality Chief: It Had Nothing to Do With 'American Idol'
May 25, 2013 03:16:27 GMT
FOX's longtime alternative programming chief Mike Darnell departs the network after 18 years. He decides not to renew his contract which will expire in June and will help with the transition for his exit.
"I'm extremely grateful that Fox has offered me a new long-term contract (and anyone who knows me won't believe I'm saying this), but I've decided it's time for a change," he says in a statement. "With my current deal ending in June, and having been here for 18 years (kind of a record in Hollywood), I had to make a decision: either stay (and basically admit to myself I was going to retire at FOX ... not a terrible choice) or leave and try something new."

Screw press releases! He never wrote a letter that included dismay about the racism he witnessed? He never had a conversation with a friend he can dig out of the woodwork? He never kept a damn diary? He can't say, "and while my dad was working to protect the civil liberties of our nation, I was helping"?!?! Or maybe even, "I supported that work in a vaguely non-committal way because I was busy raking in the monies."This was in response to your assertion that people are expecting him to have produced press releases when he was not a public figure of any kind. I care about what our public figures believe and DO before they are in the spot light. As someone once told me, your manners among people who "don't matter" say more about you those you display for those who do. Press releases don't usually achieve that.
Panjandrum: just the dull cycnism left over from when GWB basically ignored theYes, and it's been pointed out above: to provide talking points for Fox News and other right-wing and racist pundits, "proving" that he reached out to "those people", to no avail.

Romney Calls Mandate 'Ultimate Conservative Idea' Repeatedly Says It Could Serve As Model For Nation.Now:
Romney Boasted About Mass. Health Care Reform (w/ videos).
Romney Says Massachusetts Reform Could Serve As A Model For The Nation– 2006 — Q: Is this something you think Washington should consider for the whole country? ROMNEY: Well, there are some aspects of what we're doing that could be applicable to the rest of the country.
– 2007 — ROMNEY: Our program is based on a private model health insurance program and that model will work for the nation.
– 2008 — Q: Although, you backed away from mandates on a national basis…? ROMNEY: No, no, I like mandates. The mandates work.
– 2009 — Q: Should the President be looking at Massachusetts as a model for lowering health care costs? ROMNEY: Massachusetts is a model for getting everyone insured.

"MIT health care economist Jonathan Gruber ... worked on both the Massachusetts and the federal law."*posted by ericb at 1:10 PM on July 11, 2012 [1 favorite]
"Alongside Harvard's David Cutler, [MIT health economist Jon Gruber] has probably been the most aggressive academic economist supporting the reform effort. On some level, that's no surprise: He was one of the architects of the Massachusetts reform, and arguably the leading health economist in the country, and so he's the guy best versed in the implications of scaling the Massachusetts approach to the whole nation." *
What is god's position on obamacare?
"Government documents filed by Mitt Romney and Bain Capital say Romney remained chief executive and chairman of the firm three years beyond the date he said he ceded control, even creating five new investment partnerships during that time.Once again, proof that he really is quite a shady character.
Romney has said he left Bain in 1999 to lead the winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, ending his role in the company. But public Securities and Exchange Commission documents filed later by Bain Capital state he remained the firm's "sole stockholder, chairman of the board, chief executive officer, and president."
Also, a Massachusetts financial disclosure form Romney filed in 2003 states that he still owned 100 percent of Bain Capital in 2002. And Romney's state financial disclosure forms indicate he earned at least $100,000 as a Bain "executive" in 2001 and 2002, separate from investment earnings.
The timing of Romney's departure from Bain is a key point of contention because he has said his resignation in February 1999 meant he was not responsible for Bain Capital companies that went bankrupt or laid off workers after that date.
Contradictions concerning the length of Romney's tenure at Bain Capital add to the uncertainty and questions about his finances. Bain is the primary source of Romney's wealth, which is estimated to be more than $25o million. But how his wealth has been invested, especially in a variety of Bain partnerships and other investment vehicles, remains difficult to decipher because of a lack of transparency."
"You can't say statements filed with the SEC are meaningless. This is a fact in an SEC filing," said Roberta S. Karmel, now a professor at Brooklyn Law School.posted by ericb at 8:53 AM on July 12, 2012
Karmel, the former SEC commissioner, said the contradictory statements could have legal implications in some instances.
"If someone invested with Bain Capital because they believed Mitt Romney was a great fund manager, and it turns out he wasn't really doing anything, that could be considered a misrepresentation to the investor,'' she said. "It's a theory that could be used in a lawsuit against him."
... the SEC filings examined by the Globe indicate Romney remained at the helm of Bain Capital when the [ Kansas City] steel mill declared bankruptcy, in February 2001.
And financial disclosure documents Romney filed in Massachusetts show that he was paid as a Bain Capital executive while he directed the Olympics.
When he was named chief executive of the Salt Lake Organizing Committee on Feb. 11, 1999, Romney declared that he would not accept the job's $285,000 annual salary until the Games were over and he had proven his turnaround worth.
Romney continued to draw a six-figure salary from Bain Capital, according to State Ethics Commission forms.
In Romney's 2002 race for governor, he testified before the state Ballot Law Commission that his separation from Bain in 1999 had been a "leave of absence" and not a final departure.
It's known that he did stop.Haven't heard anything about eating a dog, so will leave it at that, but really you don't think putting a dog in a carrier on top of a car for twelve hours is not a little.... irrational?Not really. It's a dog, not a child. Also, I doubt that he drove twelve hours without stopping.
That's an interesting article. I wonder if there's any basis for its assertion that remaining on the board of a company and possibly attending board meetings constitutes being involved in the operations of the company, as the article seems to suggest without citation.
sole shareholder, sole director, Chief Executive Officer and President of Bain Investors VI, Bain Capital, Brookside Investors Inc. and Sankaty Investors II and... sole shareholder, a director and President of Sankaty Ltdseems to be supported by his statements to the Massachusetts Ballot Law Commission that he was constantly traveling back to the state for business trips and board meetings and that this and the fact that he "remained on the board of the Staples Corporation and Marriott International, the Life Like Corporation" seem to contradict his 2011 filing with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics which said,
Mr. Romney retired from Bain Capital on February 11, 1999 to head the Salt Lake Organizing Committee. Since February 11, 1999 Mr. Romney has not had any active role with any Bain Capital entity and has not been involved in the operations of any Bain Capital entity in any way.At the very least it seems pretty significant for the public to understand just how legalistic he's being when he says that he had no active role in the company, that it's regular travel to Massachusetts for meetings as well as phone calls and other involvement with the boards, at the very least, of all of these companies that counts as an inactive role or whatever he's pitching it as.
(Also, the bit about homeless people not being able to vote because of not having paperwork is flawed, because in most elections (certainly Presidential ones), you are required to have residency in order to vote, because of the electoral college. So it's a moot point.)You don't need a home to vote.
Drudge Report Lists Condi Rice as Top Romney VP Candidate
So a lot of Republicans wish Mitt Romney would just get it over with and release several years of tax returns. If you want evidence that Romney's drowning in the Bain deluge, there it is. His allies think a complete accounting is his only lifeline.posted by ericb at 9:50 AM on July 13, 2012 [1 favorite]
Remember, in the VP vetting process Romney gave the McCain campaign over 20 years of tax returns. Schmidt ran that campaign and my hunch is he has the best combination of political smarts and actual knowledge of what's in the returns to make the call.
Six months ago, he didn't think it was worth it.
... I could be wrong about this. But if Schmidt cries uncle, I think we'll have reached the point where the attacks Romney's weathering right now are more harmful than what's in those returns. And the fact that we haven't reached that point yet suggests they're full of ugly stuff.
But, further raising questions about how much Romney remained involved, the Huffington Post reported that in testimony in June 2002 Romney claimed he regularly travelled back from Salt Lake City to Massachusetts, where Bain has its headquarters, to sit on the board of one of the companies Bain invested in, LifeLike.posted by ericb at 9:54 AM on July 13, 2012
Romney was giving testimony to a hearing to determine whether he met the residency requirements to enable him to stand for governor of Massachusetts in 2002.
"There were a number of social trips and business trips that brought me back to Massachusetts, board meetings, Thanksgiving and so forth," he said.
He said that he"remained on the board of the Staples corporation and Marriott International, the LifeLike corporation" at the time.
Staples is another company that Bain invested in.
Bloomberg reported Friday that Romney, in addition to filings published by the Boston Globe on Thursday saying he was chief executive and president of the main holding company Bain Capital, is also named as one of two managing members of another Bain-related entity, Bain Capital Investors LLC, as late as 2002. *
It's safe to say that, whatever the merits of the argument, if we're discussing whether or not Mitt Romney is a felon, then he is losing the debate over Bain Capital.posted by ericb at 10:00 AM on July 13, 2012
... It worked for Sideshow Bob, anyway.
The numbers have risen dramatically over the decades, due both to the rise of mass incarceration in the United States and to the spread of restrictive state voting laws. As we reported last week, nearly all states bar imprisoned felons from voting, 29 states bar them even after they have served their time, and a handful—including several battleground states—effectively bar them for life. The number of affected Americans has ballooned from 1.2 million people in 1976 to 3.3 million in 1996. As of 2010, the figure stands at 5.9 million.posted by zombieflanders at 10:04 AM on July 13, 2012 [2 favorites]
Rates of disenfranchisement vary dramatically by state due to broad variations in voting prohibitions. In six states—Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Virginia—more than 7 percent of the adult population is disenfranchised.
In what amounts to a modern-day version of Jim Crow-era statutes, felon disenfranchisement takes a substantial bite out of the black vote. According to the report, nearly 8 percent of voting-age black Americans (1 in 13) is disenfranchised, compared with roughly 2 percent of their non-black counterparts. In three states—Florida, Kentucky, and Virginia, at least 1 in 5 black Americans will be out of luck come Election Day. In the cases of Florida and Virginia, the numbers are sizeable enough to change the outcome in November.

"I reported directly to Mitt Romney . . . You can't be CEO of Bain Capital and say, `I really don't know what my guys were doing,'" Mr. Wolpow said of Mr. Romney role at the company during his leave.In what is no doubt a big surprise to all of us, this guy has not made himself available to the press.
Or other than the fact that there's no evidence at all that anyone has ever done this in the history of ever?
Between 1999 and 2001, Mitt Romney, then the CEO of Bain Capital, signed at least six documents that the private equity firm filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The documents run in direct contradiction to a claim that Romney has made repeatedly: that he had nothing to do with Bain, and therefore no responsibility for Bain investments, during that period.posted by ericb at 2:33 PM on July 13, 2012
It's also a claim he made in August 2011 on the federal disclosure form he filed as part of his presidential bid. Romney didn't leave any wiggle room: "Mr. Romney retired from Bain Capital on February 11, 1999 to head the Salt Lake Organizing Committee [for the 2002 Winter Olympics]. Since February 11, 1999, Mr. Romney has not had any active role with any Bain Capital entity and has not been involved in the operations of any Bain Capital entity in any way."
That is false.
SEC files include at least six instances of Romney signing documents after February 1999, proving -- unless the signatures were forged -- that his claim to not have "been involved in the operations of any Bain Capital entity in any way" is wrong.
Most of the documents reference Romney as the "reporting person."
"This last election, in May, there were 200 votes cast for corpses, and when you have dead people casting votes, you see we have a threat to the integrity of the election system," [Attorney General Greg] Abbott said.Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law
Abbott points to the 62 fraud cases prosecuted by his office over 10 years. But during the same time period, there were 39 million votes cast. (emphasis mine)
16 states have passed restrictive voting laws that have the potential to impact the 2012 election. These states account for 214 electoral votes, or nearly 79 percent of the total needed to win the presidency. (emphasis theirs)posted by Room 641-A at 8:06 PM on July 13, 2012
It is no accident that Republicans have spearheaded and supported these changes, since they will have the greatest impact on poor, minority and college populations — groups that heavily supported President Obama's 2008 candidacy. For example, in 2011, seven states enacted "voter ID" laws, which exclude many types of generally available documentation like Social Security and student cards. (The Brennan Center report notes that while Texas declines to recognize student IDs, it accepts concealed-weapons licenses for voting purposes.) The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has found that in Texas Hispanic voters are much likelier than whites to lack a driver's license or other form of permissible identification.posted by cashman at 9:55 PM on July 13, 2012
Moreover, although Crawford v. Texas, 533 U.S. 181 (2008), mandates provision of government photo identification free of charge, if needed for voting, would-be voters must often incur supplemental costs (including travel) for items such as birth certificates required to obtain the necessary documents. The people least able to afford these expenses will often be those who, without the paperwork, have to pay them.
Cuts to Early Voting After the recount debacle in Florida in 2000, allowing voters to cast their ballots early emerged as a popular bipartisan reform. Early voting not only meant shorter lines on Election Day, it has helped boost turnout in a number of states – the true measure of a successful democracy. "I think it's great," Jeb Bush said in 2004. "It's another reform we added that has helped provide access to the polls and provide a convenience. And we're going to have a high voter turnout here, and I think that's wonderful."posted by cashman at 10:13 PM on July 13, 2012
But Republican support for early voting vanished after Obama utilized it as a key part of his strategy in 2008. Nearly 30 percent of the electorate voted early that year, and they favored Obama over McCain by 10 points. The strategy proved especially effective in Florida, where blacks outnumbered whites by two to one among early voters, and in Ohio, where Obama received fewer votes than McCain on Election Day but ended up winning by 263,000 ballots, thanks to his advantage among early voters in urban areas like Cleveland and Columbus.
That may explain why both Florida and Ohio – which now have conservative Republican governors – have dramatically curtailed early voting for 2012. Next year, early voting will be cut from 14 to eight days in Florida and from 35 to 11 days in Ohio, with limited hours on weekends. In addition, both states banned voting on the Sunday before the election – a day when black churches historically mobilize their constituents. Once again, there appears to be nothing to justify the changes other than pure politics. "There is no evidence that any form of convenience voting has led to higher levels of fraud," reports the Early Voting Information Center at Reed College.
When Edward and Mary Weidenbener went to vote in Indiana's primary in May, they didn't realize that state law required them to bring government photo IDs such as a driver's license or passport.posted by cashman at 10:44 PM on July 13, 2012
The husband and wife, both approaching 90 years old, had to use a temporary ballot that would be verified later, even though they knew the people working the polling site that day. Unaware that Indiana law obligated them to follow up with the county election board, the Weidenbeners ultimately had their votes rejected — news to them until informed recently by an Associated Press reporter.
Edward Weidenbener, a World War II veteran who had voted for Mitt Romney in the Republican presidential contest, said he was surprised by the rules and the consequences.
"A lot of people don't have a photo ID. They'll be automatically disenfranchised," he said.
There is something of a consensus in the literature, in fact, about the rough magnitude of the effects. The stricter laws, like those that require photo identification, seem to decrease turnout by about 2 percent as a share of the registered voter population.posted by the man of twists and turns at 7:05 AM on July 15, 2012 [2 favorites]
Well, technically I know people who argue that the rich should be lined up against a wall and shot, with their property redistributed, so yes, I would consider that to be actively wanting to prevent people from voting, given that it's kind of hard to vote after you're dead. I didn't mention that, but I assure you, it wasn't because I was trying to avoid being fair to the people that talk about this.
You argued that people donating unlimited amounts of money should be taken as evidence that they don't want to partipate in government.
I actually think a strong case could be made that no one should be allowed to donate to campaigns whatsoever, because it is bribery. I think a stronger case could be made for that than for the idea that somehow, it's only bribery over a certain limit that is wrong. I hardly think that the idea that no one should be allowed to bribe is un-American, do you really?
Also, the recent decision in Citizens United means that the arbiters of the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the Land, have decreed that spending a lot of money in order to influence races is perfectly Constitutional (and thus American).
Unfortunately, these free IDs are not equally accessible to all voters. This report is the first comprehensive assessment of the difficulties that eligible voters face in obtaining free photo ID.posted by the man of twists and turns at 9:11 AM on July 18, 2012
The 11 percent of eligible voters who lack the required photo ID must travel to a designated government office to obtain one. Yet many citizens will have trouble making this trip. In the 10 states with restrictive voter ID laws:
Nearly 500,000 eligible voters do not have access to a vehicle and live more than 10 miles from the nearest state ID-issuing office. Many of them live in rural areas with dwindling public transportation options.
More than 10 million eligible voters live more than 10 miles from their nearest state ID-issuing office.
1.2 million eligible black voters and 500,000 eligible Hispanic voters live more than 10 miles from their nearest ID-issuing office. People of color are more likely to be disenfranchised by these laws since they are less likely to have photo ID than the general population.
Many ID-issuing offices maintain limited business hours. For example, the office in Sauk City, Wisconsin is open only on the fifth Wednesday of any month. But only four months in 2012 — February, May, August, and October — have five Wednesdays. In other states — Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and Texas — many part-time ID-issuing offices are in the rural regions with the highest concentrations of people of color and people in poverty.
Are all of those perceived to have secret agendas by forcing people to identify themselves?
While the Bush administration's Department of Justice approved Georgia's strict voter-ID law—which became a national model—under Obama, the DOJ has blocked Texas and South Carolina from implementing theirs, finding them to have a discriminatory effect. (Decisions on Mississippi and Alabama's laws are still pending.) Thanks to the proceedings, we've learned a lot more about the impact of these laws. Documents from Texas revealed that Hispanic registered voters were between 47 and 120 percent more likely to lack the necessary ID, while in South Carolina, minorities were almost 20 percent more likely to have no government-issued identification.Preclearance:
In recent years, ten states have passed strict voter-ID laws which require a voter to show government-issued identification to vote and will likely prevent hundreds of thousands from voting. But of those ten, only five require preclearance. Indiana, Kansas, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Wisconsin all got to enact their versions of these laws without any say from the feds. Across all of them, the impacts are similarly devastating for poor and non-white populations.More racial bias and costs/lies about "free" ID:
Nationwide, 11 percent of eligible voters lack the required ID; among African Americans, that number skyrockets to one in four eligible voters. Hispanics and seniors also disproportionately lack a government-issued photo ID. The Center's report focuses on two key factors: the cost of acquiring the necessary documents, and the difficulties of getting to an office that issues IDs. Even in states that offer free IDs for voting, most still charge people to obtain the documents necessary to get that ID—and the costs are not insignificant. Birth certificates can run anywhere from $8 to $25. In Mississippi, there's a special Catch-22: You need a birth certificate to get a government-issued ID, but you need a government-issued ID to get a birth certificate.And accessibility:
Meanwhile, 10 million eligible voters live more than 10 miles away from a government office that can issue an ID—and in Alabama, Kansas, Mississippi, Texas, and Wisconsin, those ID issuing offices are closed on weekends[...]In Wisconsin, which does not have to preclear its election laws, more than 30 percent of the voting-age population lives more than 10 miles from an ID office. In Kansas, which also isn't listed in Section 5, the voter-ID law shows similar problems with discrimination. Outside of Wichita, there's one office that issues IDs for every 22,000 eligible voters; in downtown Wichita, there is one office for every 160,000. Twenty-two percent of Kansas' black population lives in downtown Wichita where, in order to get their free IDs, they must wait much longer than their neighbors outside the city. In Tennessee, another state that doesn't need preclearance, three rural regions have large populations but no offices that issue IDs.posted by zombieflanders at 11:02 AM on July 23, 2012
You obviously would prefer that people who are not eligible to vote get to vote, than that people who are eligible to vote have to go through hurdles in order to vote.
I'm going to have a hard time understanding how national service as a requirement to vote would be constitutional.

1867 Doll by Georgel
The Met says: In 1947, in response to the suffering of post-World War II France, an American grassroots campaign organized a large-scale relief package. The following year France, moved by this generosity, organized a gift in kind. As the aide was sent to France housed in boxcars and dubbed the "American Friendship Train" the French created the "Gratitude" or "Merci Train", a set of 49 boxcars filled with gifts of thanks. Each of the 48 states was to receive a boxcar with the 49th shared between Washington D.C., and the Territory of Hawaii, which had contributed sugar on the Friendship Train. A wide array of items was included in these cars, from handmade children's toys to priceless works of art.
The Chambre Syndicale de la Couture de Parisienne, who, to raise money for the French people, had two years prior organized the Theatre de la Mode, a group of fashion dolls dressed in clothing from the 1947 couture collections, chose to create a new set of fashion dolls, this time representing the evolution of French fashion rather than the current season. Once again, the Syndicat tapped the most talented and well-known fashion designers, hairstylists, and accessory designers of the time to create these miniature masterpieces.
The unique design of the fashion doll, originally created for Theatre de la Mode and used again for the Gratitude Train was conceived by Eileen Bonabel, the plaster head by the artist Rebull. Each doll measures approximately 24 inches tall, with bodies made entirely of open wire. Human hair was used to fashion the hairstyles. Each designer chose a year between 1715 and 1906 for which to dress his doll. Their varying sources of inspiration included works of art, literature, and historic fashion plates. The Gratitude Train fashion dolls represent a unique moment in the history of couture as they represent not only creative interpretations of historic fashions by the greatest designers of the period, but also are infused with the unparalleled skill, care, and attention to detail that would have been applied in their full-size counterparts.

Beyond majestic at twenty-eight inches tall, this François Gaultier fashion lady will instantly rule the doll room. Featuring a perfect bisque shoulder plate and swivel head, this fine doll's bisque is truly amazing – it glows. Lending even more personality are her expressive spiral threaded eyes in a pleasing shade of pale blue/gray, and her original mohair wig is beautifully styled incorporating beautiful braids that are gracefully pulled back.
The classic, gusseted, leather body is quite sturdy and clean, but does bear minor scattered patching.
Is it us, or does this lady appear to be smiling? Just maybe, her smile is there because of the wonderful walking suit she is wearing! The palette of the ensemble is elegant with components that include taupe silk, and a dusty gray/lavender that bears chocolate brown stripes. A fabulous straw chapeau ties the look all together – beautifully.

"Young lass Harriet Denton, originally of Doncaster, West Yorkshire, called her six and one-half inch tall wooden doll "Sara". We take great pleasure in introducing her to you here.
Sara was treasured for several generations, and that will certainly continue – as you will soon discover, there is much to love.
A German Grodner Tal wooden, circa 1830, with wonderful paint upon her face and wooden articulated body, Sara retains her worldly possessions, and they are all housed in her painted wooden wardrobe. The entire contents is listed below, but the highlights include the gorgeous Empire-waist cotton gown she is attired in here, which bears Sara's full name in ink upon the hem, plus a gown in deep plum silk complete with a matching fringed shawl (and coordinating bonnet).
Also included is a very pretty printed cotton frock that features a ruffled tiered skirt, also with her full name in ink upon the hem, plus a wonderful iridescent silk cloak complete with Sara's initials upon the interior.
By the way, Sara is a doll collector – she has three now, but would certainly like more!
It isn't very often that we can offer an early doll so fresh from its original family.
We consider it a great honor…and a pleasure."
The complete inventory is as listed:
I demand to have one of these in my life!
"Standing eight and one-half inches tall is a marvelous example of a Ladies Sewing Companion, for which the plans for making one could be found in the popular periodicals of the day. Circa 1865, details include a very pretty parian shoulderhead with nicely modeled blonde hair, a black-painted hairband and beautifully painted features. On a cloth body that is fitted with bisque limbs including flat feet that wear black slippers, she is handsomely costumed in a crisp lawn blouse and a red wool skirt. The skirt features delicate black feather stitching that is studded with cut steel beads, and do not miss the shaped pocket in front that was obviously designed to house a folder of sewing needles. A black leather holster which contains a pair of bird beak scissors is hung from her waist, while a blue silk sash punctuates the ensemble. Matching blue silk ribbon was used on the Scottish style black leather tam that she wears upon her head.
Interestingly, items such as this were offered at American Sanitary Fairs in the years of the Civil War as souvenirs, the proceeds from which would be used to do charitable deeds for the soldiers. We are sure, that if this companion could speak, she would have quite a tale to share.

"Just when you think you've seen it all, along comes a distinctive treasure like this Sleeping Beauty in a brilliant Dresden-paper trimmed glass case!
Dating circa 1870, the origins of this piece are shrouded in mystery, so we can only do our best to put its singular wonder into words.
The focal point of this creation is a tiny German parian head Princess lying upon a bed – her head resting on a lace-trimmed pillow. We can tell you that Sleeping Beauty is an entire doll, measuring about four inches long (on a cloth body with painted flat feet), and the shoulderhead itself features molded blonde hair with long floss tresses attached, plus painted blue eyes and rosy cheeks. Her clothing consists of a once-bright pink robe that has faded to soft pink, worn over a lace and Dresden paper edged gown of metallic gold threads. She wears a strand of pearl beads around her neck and a Dresden paper crown upon her head.
Four paper flower pots stand guard at each corner of her bed, while two floral bowers extend the length of her paper-covered platform.
The glass case itself is an engineering feat, composed of nine panels that were first edged in cotton, then joined together with various fancy papers.
Slumbering away in the safely and sanctity of her glass home, Sleeping Beauty will continue to do so, undisturbed, for centuries to come.

"For every thousand peddlers we offer, we may find one of these — an elegant lady watching over a stand at a Charity Bazaar. This amazing assemblage was intended to represent one of the British upper crust offering up time and services for charity.
During the Civil War years, bazaars, also known as Sanitary Fairs, were very popular events. Staged to raise money for the disadvantaged, fine and upstanding ladies in the community would sell wares to benefit that noble cause.
An object of "parlor art" shown here is a Tuck Comb Wooden from the Grodner Tal, who represents one of those fine ladies of high society. On an articulated wooden body, and dressed in colorful silk brocade with lovely silk ribbon and lace accents upon her magnificent bonnet, she minds her stand with confidence – as she has quite lovely offerings.
One can choose from as assortment of her handmade items that include books, assorted boxes including an artist's paint box, fabric goods, two dollhouses, a wooden doll, plus fine ladies' household and toilette articles. She would be ever so pleased to make a sale…to you.
The elegant lady stands 9" tall overall, while her stand measures:
8 -1/2" wide by 7" tall by 3" deep.
(Source: carmeldollshop.com)
Because we have a very similar early doll in our own collection, we confidently attribute this doll to François Gaultier, commissioned for the fine boutique Maison Guillard. Details of this child-like, seventeen and one-half inch tall young lady, who retains her original enfantine trousseau, include a perfect pale bisque head and shoulderplate that are attached with a cup and saucer rotation mechanism, glass eyes in an unusual shade and a wonderful long blonde mohair wig.
On a very clean kid over wood body, this example is fitted with long bisque arms with nicely modeled fingers (hairlines to left arm), plus there is articulation at the knees.
The doll's trousseau features several articles of clothing in the Huret style, including a wonderful bathing costume, and the play ensemble she is shown wearing here is absolutely delightful!
A very lucky child indeed, she will arrive with a marvelous trunk – home to her trousseau and wonderful accessories.

R. J. D. W. ALLEN, was born in Washington Co., Virginia,
January 12, 1828, died January 5, 1911,
lacking only one week of being 83 years old. His ancestry on his father's side were Scotch- Irish convenanters
who left the old country because persecuted on the account of their religious belief. His mother's people were
English, and settled in Baltimore, Maryland, and were affiliated with the founders of Methodism in America.
The deceased was a cousin of Melville B. COX, the first missionary sent to Africa from the United States.
In his early childhood his parents moved to Meigs county, Tenn.
where he grew to manhood on a farm.
Because of persecution of his ancestry in the old country, the spirit of liberty was naturally a part of his being,
hence when the civil war came on he espused the cause of those in bondage, believing that , "All people are
created free and equal, and endowed with certain inalienable rights among which are life, liberty, and pursuit
of happiness." He served three years and 3 months in actual service, being a volunteer in Co. H., 5th Tenn.
Infantry. He was active in politics, always positive and decided in his views. He allied himself to the church and
educational life of the community, having given the land where Dryden church and Black Jack school now stands.
In April, 1866, he came with his family to Illinois and settled on a farm in Elk Prairie township, Jefferson county.
A few years later he moved to Bald Hill township where he spent 41 continuous yrs.
Mr. ALLEN was twice married, first to Lavina J. MCMULLEN, July
29, 1847, to whom 5 children were
born, of which 2 survive; Mrs. M. A. SMITH, of Marion, Ill. and R. N. ALLEN, at whose home he spent the
last few weeks of his life. After the death of this companion, August 21, 1856, he was married to Elzira SMITH,
August 21, 1857. Her death occured 7 years ago today( January 7). To this union 8 children were born, six of
whom are living; W. L.; J. F.; J. H.; and Mrs. A. A. DENTON of this community; Mrs. J. W. SMITH, of
East St. Louis, and Mrs. S. A. CRENSHAW, of Carbondale. Of the thirteen children, eight , 4 boys and 4 girls,
are living and are here today. These with 26 grandchildren constitute his living posterity.
Mr. ALLEN was baptized in infancy, converted and joined the church
at about 19 years of age. The family
altar remains as one of the pleasant memories of all the children.Of the infuence of Bro. ALLEN to this church and
neighborhood eternity can tell. Mt. Vernon Register January 16, 1911

The Wide 300 gets a more streamlined look than its predecessor while keeping a nearly identical feature set and price, while the camera maker also added new color options to its Mini models.
The CPP 50, 100, and 300 enable users to juice of their mobile device's battery when no outlets are to be found.

The JBL SB 300 is a plus-size sound bar with excellent sound quality, but its unconventional style won't please everyone.

The Sound ID 300 is a great Bluetooth headset with good audio quality and ear comfort.

The tiny Samsung CLP-300 color laser printer is a good bargain for those with very basic print needs. If you need more from your printer, you'll have to spend a little more money.

No unfortunetly, the agreement with your credit card would be between Them and Paypal and would not be based on the reciept of the item, You would need to escalate the problem to paypal and try to resolve with them first which ive heard mixed reactions about, Ive not had a problem so comment on that. But will involve both partys proving they have sent and not recieved.
Paypal wont be responsible for the state of goods that you recieve, You would have to discuss that with the sender and only if the dispute was not solved then contact paypal through A dispute report.
TBH Its a minefield if it goes wrong but great savings if everything is all ok, unfortunetly saving money comes at a risk, Good luck with it
Cheers Kev - I've scoured paypal's terms and conditions, and apart from sites that use certain payment engine's for their paypal payments, the dispute policy seems relatively straight forward...but like you say, you don't really know until you have to use it! From a delivery point of view, it comes via 'insured' through fedex or similar...would you take any confidence from that?

I have a Bachelors in Political Science from Kent State University in Kent, Ohio. I am 6 hours shy of my Masters in International Relations from Webster University, St. Louis, MO. While studying my masters I had the opportunity to live overseas. Most of the course work was taken while in London, England. I also had the opportunity to travel whilst living in Europe. I traveled to many countries in Europe such as England, Scotland, Ireland, Italy, France, Austria, Switzerland, Turkey, Sweden, Monaco, Spain, and others just to name a few. I am also an Army Reservist. I have never deployed, but am always looking for opportunities. I am a person of cultures and languages, the way I learn is through meeting others and learning about themselves.
I took the ASVAB in 2010 to enter the US Army. The first test I took, which was a practice test, projected a high score. I took the ASVAB the next day and scored a 108. I am now a Psychological Operations Specialist which is a special operations job, in the US Army Reserve.
I played soccer for 12 years of my life until I was 16. I then changed sports to cross country and track and field and ran until I graduated from college. Most recently I have added rock climbing for the passed 6 years and physical training with free weights, hiking long distances, and running speed workouts. I also am in the military so I am always running or doing some sort of workout daily.

I played soccer from age 4 to 16. I left playing soccer only to start running cross country and track and field. I continue to play soccer though. While in college a friend of mine and I played in an adult league and got second place in our league. The next season I played in an indoor league and we got third place. Last fall I played in a 30 and over league and our team got second place, only to lose to a team that had been two points behind us in the polls. I have also watched many soccer games while living in London, England.
I ran cross country and track and field for all four years in high school. Our team won the Texas 5A Track Title in 1999. Cross Country won 1999, and 2000, with runner up the years between. After I left The Woodlands, they went on to win consecutive terms from 2003-2004, and then 2006-2010. While I was a senior I ran at the Nike Cross Country Championship South Division in North Carolina.
