Need A Good Cry? Obama's New Pen Pal Brings The Waterworks
Sometimes, Monday mornings are hard. Nothing seems to go your way — Metro is delayed, the line for coffee is way too long — and you often find yourself wraught with emotion, wishing you could just go back to bed. Well, now, the White House is here to save the day, with the ultimate emotional release.
Last week, The Huffington Post published a letter to the prez from Sophia Bailey Klugh, thanking him for supporting marriage equality. Little Sophia has two dads and receives tons of ridicule at school, so she asked the POTUS for advice — and he took time out of his busy campaign schedule to write her back.
In the letter, Obama thanks Sophia for reaching out, waxes poetic on the importance of celebrating diversity, and offers advice for those schoolyard bullies. No matter who you're voting for tomorrow, it's hard to get through the first paragraph without getting a little teary. Click through to read the letter in its entirety — and keep a tissue handy.

Our imagined "biblical stance" on meteorology changed in exactly the way that, for many American Christians, our "biblical stance" on biology never did. We Christians easily, almost imperceptibly, changed the way we understood all those Bible passages about the weather. But for many American Christians, doing the very same thing with all those Bible passages about the origins of life is portrayed as a grave and dangerous sin. [Read more…]
This isn't really about Donald Trump. It's about white evangelical voters and their support (later revoked) for Jimmy Carter and their support (later regretted) for George W. Bush. And it's about why it's misleading and anachronistic to imagine that the religious right of 1980 was anything at all like the religious right of 1988 or of 2004 or of 2015. [Read more…]
Smith's payoff secured a change in his behavior. Jones' payoff ensured that his behavior will not change.

Why revisit this post now? Because the original post was a lamentation over my old friend Ron Sider's 2009 endorsement of the pompous and ridiculous "Manhattan Declaration," and Sider is now doubling down — adding his endorsement to the equally fatuous 2015 statement, "Here We Stand: An Evangelical Declaration on Marriage." And also because today we learn that J.R. Daniel Kirk is getting the heave-ho from Fuller Theological Seminary. [Read more…]
Mainly, though, the historical roots of white evangelical antipathy to environmentalism and of white evangelical climate denialism comes down to two things: Shirley MacLaine and Al Gore. That's it. [Read more…]
This is an Official Statement announcing his change of "stance" on an "issue." Such Official Statements are a kind of ritual genre in the white evangelical tribe, and that genre both limits what can be said and shapes how it can be said. They cannot be about justice or injustice directly, but only about one's "stance" toward them. And they aren't constructed to accommodate or acknowledge actual people, only the "issues" that affect them. This displaces the conversation — removing it several steps from the fierce urgency of now and pushing it off toward some more abstract and ethereal discussion of the relative validity of various possible "stances" and their status within the tribe.

Rush Limbaugh Might Be Getting Dropped From Radio UPDATE
Update: As expected, Rush told his listeners that he's not going anywhere and that the Politico report is just part of the "public business negotiation."
Original post: It looks like Rush Limbaugh is going to have to take his history lessons on how white people were actually awesome about slavery or about Obama's secret plot to end the GOP or how Chris Christie is so fat and dumb to some other venue, because, according to a report, the blowfish is going to be dropped from his radio spot at the end of the year.
Cumulus Media, the second-biggest broadcaster in the country, is not planning to renew Limbaugh's contract, according to Politico.
Cumulus is reportedly also dropping Sean Hannity's program, which means the two biggest conservative radio personalities will be gone from more than 40 stations across the country.

Earlier this year, Limbaugh was thinking of walking away from Cumulus anyway, because the company had reported a $2.4 million first-quarter decline that it blamed on Limbaugh's comments on Sandra Fluke.
Since Rush made the comments about the Georgetown law student, advertisers have been leaving in droves, which Limbaugh will probably say is a total coincidence.
The report says Cumulus, which is a division of Clear Channel, will likely not change the cost of distribution rights, and it's possible Limbaugh would be picked up by Clear Channel stations in the markets where he'd be dropped . But Clear Channel has pulled this move in the past before reaching a last-minute agreement with its talent.
Still, advertisers pulling away for Limbaugh being Limbaugh may be the breaking point here.
For its part, Cumulus released a statement on the report, saying:
"Cumulus is not in a position to comment about negotiations with talent under contract, no matter what the rumor of the day might be."
We're sure Rush will likely find a home somewhere else where he can blame this all on Obama and black people.

A Far Better Restby Susanne Alleyn
View All Available Formats & Editions
In Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities, Sydney Carton is an almost ancillary character. Dickens' novel tells us the stories of Charles Darnay,
Lucie Manette, and Alexandre Manette. Carton/i>
The French Revolution is vividly brought to life in a brilliant retelling of the classic story that has captured the imagination of readers since the 1850s.
In Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities, Sydney Carton is an almost ancillary character. Dickens' novel tells us the stories of Charles Darnay,
Lucie Manette, and Alexandre Manette. Carton disappears from the novel for eleven chapters and several years, reappearing without warning to bring the novel to its chilling and heartbreaking end. Yet Dickens is silent about the circumstances that transformed Carton from a promising youth to an embittered alcoholic and finally to the man who makes the ultimate sacrifice for love. A Far Better
Rest imagines his missing personal history and makes him the center of this tragic tale.
Born in England of a wealthy, unloving father and a French mother, Sydney is sent to study in Paris, where he meets Charles Darnay and the other studentsRobespierre and Camille Desmoulins among themwho will have enormous influence on his life and alter the course of French history. Years later, when Sydney, disinherited,
is living a lonely and purposeless existence in London, Charles reenters his life. The beauty and kindness of Charles's wife, Lucie Manette, affects Sydney so deeply that he secretly devotes his life to her happiness.
At last abandoning London for Paris, Sydney becomes a witness to the formation of the French Republic at the end of the eighteenth century and also to one of the most turbulent periods in history. A Far Better Rest is a novel of passion, identity, and history that stands fully in its own right.

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
16 Germinal, Year II of the Republic
5 April 1794 old style
To-day they guillotined Danton; and with him died the fragile dream of Clemency, and all my hopes and prayers. For if Danton the Colossus has succumbed to the Terror, this ravenous Goddess who has devoured or corrupted the best of France, what chance of enduring has any of us?
Wanting hope, two paths now stretch before me, one towards Love and the other towards Honour, and I know not which I should choose. For I made a solemn vow once to Lucie, and once again to myself this very day, and despite my many faults, I do not break my word. Yet the man who made that long-ago vow to Lucie was not the same man who writes these words to-day.
What a tangled path has led me to this moment, from my father's country estate to the gin-shops and stews and back-alleys of London, from London to the salons and parliaments of Paris, and at last to this dreary Parisian lodging-house. Or perhaps my story truly beganas I think it shall endnot in England, not in my father's fine brick mansion, but in Paris. Perhaps my path began to twist and turn, through the ravaged landscape of my life, on the day I met Charles Darnay.
"New boy," said one of my fellow senior students, jerking his head at the slender figure who stood irresolute in the door of the rhetoric-hall at the Collège Louis-le-Grand. "A relative of yours?"
"Why do you say that?" said I. All my relatives with whom I was on speaking termsmy father, his brother and nephew, mysister Bella, and my elder brother Oliverwere on the other side of the Channel, in England.
"Why, I merely thought ... but go and take a look at him, then."
My curiosity piqued, I strolled over to the new student's side. He was two or three years younger than I, sixteen perhaps, handsome and fine-boned with an air of quiet assurance. And indeed I knew his face, tho' I could not, for a moment, think how we might have met. But in another moment I realised (I know not how, for are we not more accustomed to the faces of our closest companions than to our own?) that the visage opposite me might have been that of my brother. No, not my brother, for I and my brother Oliver were little likenot my brother, but myself, my own looking-glass image.
"My name is Carton," I said, offering my hand.
He nodded. "Darnay." He spared us both discomfort by giving me as frankly curious a glance as I imagine I was casting his way. "Have ... have we met?" he enquired, at length.
"No" said I, "we've not met. But I imagine you've glanced in a glass of late?"
He stared at me a moment ere laughing out loud in astonishment. "Mon Dieu," he murmured, adding: "I don't suppose you could be one of my relatives?"
"That depends who your relatives may be," said I, carelessly.
"Onobody in particular."
"It scarce seems likely, nevertheless, since I am English."
"English! Then what a quirk of Fate it was, that has placed us together here in Paris."
"Who knows the workings of Fate, or of Providence?" said I, with a laugh. "But a fellow ought not be shy with his looking-glass twin; I hope we may be friends, Darnay. Come, I'll show you about."
"I can't help but observe that your French is nearly perfect," Darnay told me, a few days later, as we strolled together along the perimeter of the central courtyard, where the younger boys were playing ball under the watchful eye of two of the masters. "The other English and Irish students speak French as if they were talking thro' a mouthful of porridge."
I laughed. "A compliment indeed! I must thank my mother, who taught me. She was a Frenchwoman. My father met her whilst visiting France on a matter of Business and wedded her six weeks later. His first wife had died, you see, and his little daughter, my half-sister Bella, needed a mother."
My poor mother, wedded in her blooming youth to a gruff and exacting man twice her age! I cherish fond memories of her to this day, my gentle, kind, pretty mamma, whom as a child I thought the most beautiful lady in the world (tho' at times I believed Sarah, the golden-haired little daughter of our nearest neighbour Sir Mallory, was near as lovely).
"And she wished you to come here, to Louis-le-Grand?"
"Yes. It was her fondest wish for me, that I should attend the finest school in France, and then go on to the University of Paris. But she is dead, now, too, and never saw me here; indeed never saw France again."
"I am sorry."
"I don't believe she ever felt herself truly at home in England." I mused. "Though she never would return to France. It was as if she had cut herself off from her family."
"Or they from her," Darnay suggested. "Did you never ask her?"
"No. And she never spoke of them, beyond their name and their province. I think she was determined to make the best of her lot, and raise her children, and shut her eyes to whatsoever it was she had quitted in France."
"Perhaps. My mother did the same. I don't remember my father, for I was only four years old when he died, but sometimes ... one hears things. From the elder servants, you know. Abominable rumours."
"Rumours?" said I, my curiosity whetted.
"They say he was lewd and immoral, that decent women would take care not to be alone with him. He was killed in a duel by the husband of a lady he had dishonoured, I believe, or so they tell me. But everybody knew my mother was unhappy in her marriage. She turned her back on my father's family after he died, and returned with me to her own people. I was educated with my cousins and I dare say I was the better for it."
"Were you not sent away to school?"
"No, we had a tutor. Louis-le-Grand is my first taste of boarding-school."
"And what do you think of dormitory life, and boarding-school food?"
"The food isn't quite as bad as my cousin Eléonore assured me it would be," said he, with a grin.
"Truly! Well, speak for yourself. I am mightily glad to be free of it when I choose, and free of dormitory beds, and schoolmasters prowling the corridors."
"You don't dwell here at the Collège?"
"No, I've my own lodgings on rue de la Parcheminerie. It was my father's doing. I told him that I'd been out of school in England for near a year, and that I had no taste for the dormitory life once again, particularly at a school governed by priests. One needs special permission to live outside the Collègemy father very nearly had to obtain a papal dispensation!"
Darnay laughed. "Your father must indulge you, then."
"Yes, I suppose he does, or so might a stranger say," I reflected. "He gives me everything I could ask for, so long as I give him no trouble in return."
"But ..." said my companion, hearing the hesitation in my voice.
"But ... he does not love me. He gives me all I wish, very nearly, because he will not ... or cannot ... give me affection." I looked away, praying that the autumn sunshine would not catch the glint of tears in my eyes. "He loved me once, in his own rough way; there's the rub of it. But since my mother died, and even ere that, we have been strangers to one another." My mother had died of consumption the year Bella wed, when I was yet a lad of twelve, and with her into her grave had gone my boyhood's happiness and any illusion of tenderness my father might have attempted.
The boys' ball came skidding towards us, to an accompanying chorus of "Hi, look out, there!" I scooped up the ball and flung it back at them, perhaps with more force than I had intended. "What did I ever do," I continued, "to deserve such coldness? I have been asking myself that question since I was ten years old. O, I grant you, I was not a model pupil at Shrewsbury School ... but should a few poor marks, and a few schoolboy scrapes, turn a father against his son? And I tried, Darnay, I truly tried: I applied myself and earned prizes for Latin, for Composition, for History, yet nothing I did could please him. When I showed him the prize book I had won for taking first place in Latin, he only grunted and said `You'd better turn your attention, then, and improve your Arithmetic'. Perhaps he grew indifferent to me when in my school-work I showed no commercial aspirations or talents whatsoeverfor what use, to a manufacturer and merchant of porcelain, is a first prize in Latin? Perhaps," I added bitterly, "since my brother Oliver is to inherit his property and his fortune ... perhaps he regards me as so much superfluous baggage that must still be fed, clothed, and educated. He is a monstrous practical man, after all."
"I doubt that's the circumstance," said Darnay mildly, "if he is as rich as you have led me to believe."
I winced. Tho' I had suspected, from his courteous and graceful bearing, that Darnay was sprung from the lesser Nobility rather than from the bourgeoisie and the professions as were most of the boys at Louis-le-Grand, I had guessed, also, that his family was only of modest fortune. "I am sorry," I said. "I oughtn't to have spoken so."
"You needn't apologise."
"Are you here on a scholarship? It's nothing to be in the least ashamed of, you know, not here. Half the boys have scholarships. It's an honour, rather."
"No," said he, "I am not here on a scholarship. My mother's family can afford the fees." He turned to me. "Are you indeed as good at Latin as all the seniors say you are? Perhaps you could help me; I'm struggling through Virgil at present."
"If you like," said I, with a smile. Tho' his abrupt change of subject baffled me, I thought it better not to pry. "Of course; whatsoever you like."
In all I spent three years, perhaps the gayest of my life, as a student in Paris. Glittering, unforgiving, fascinating Paris, then and ever the centre of European civilisation! My father might have done worse for me; I will readily admit that he never deprived me of the benefits that a man of his wealth might bestow upon his children. In truth, he gave me all I needed but approval, and affection.
What a remarkable place the Collège Louis-le-Grand was, and what a remarkable collection of Alumni it produced. I speak not of myself, nor of Darnay, but rather of the host of native-born students who, long afterward, would overturn a Kingdom. I speak, in fact, of Robespierre himself, at that time a pale, solemn eleven-year-old scholarship-boy from Arras; for the masters, upon his arrival, unceremoniously placed him in my care for his first week or two at the school, until he should learn his way about the buildings and the rules.
During my last year at the Collège I befriended a small boy very different from Robespierre. I came upon him in a courtyard where the younger pupils often played, but he was not playing. He was, rather, braving a half-dozen boys of his own age who were taunting him. I had no liking for bullies and with a few sharp words sent them packing. The thought that his saviour was one of the senior students, an elder of the lofty age of nineteen, must have over-awed the lad, for he stept back a pace and attempted to swallow his tears as I approached him.
Taking his hand, I sat on a stone bench and drew him beside me, suffering him to sob into my shoulder. Soon he calmed and raised his head, gazing at me with a pair of splendid black eyes that must, at better times, have sparkled with merriment.
"Why were they teasing you?" I asked him.
"B-Because I stutter," he faltered, his nether lip trembling. "They c-call me s-stupid stammerer, and I'm n-not! I'm c-cleverer than any of them!"
"Well, they are envious then, aren't they?" said I. "They would like to be as clever as you are, but they choose to be cruel to you out of spite, because they know they are not. Boys are horrible little creatures, you know. I was one myself once."
"I'm a boy," said he, indignant.
I stared at him in mock astonishment. "Why, so you are. What's your name?"
"Desmoulins ... C-Camille Desmoulins."
"Mine is Carton."
"That's a funny n-name," he declared, brightening, attempting to pronounce it in the French fashion.
"It's an English name."
"Are you English? I'm from G-Guise. It's in P-Picardy."
"Guise, you say?" I echoed him. My erstwhile acquaintance, young Maximilien de Robespierre, was from a northern province also. Though shy and solitary, he seemed the sort of boy who might take a younger lad under his wing. "Well, Desmoulins, I can see you want a friend, and I happen to know a boy from Arras who I think also wants a friend. Would you care to meet him?"
"Will he l-laugh at m-my stutter?"
"I am sure he will not," said I. "He seems a very quiet, gentle boy, and rather lonely."
I escorted the lad inside and found Robespierre. They quickly struck up a friendship, although Robespierre's habitual gravity stood in odd contrast to Camille's sunny, lively disposition. How could I have imagined, then, what those two boys would become, and how our lives would touch again?
Tho' intimate associations amongst the boys were frowned upon at Louis-le-Grand, the masters could not prevent Darnay and me from spending many hours in each other's company. Even the elder students were allowed only limited freedom away from the Collège, so he came but infrequently to my lodgings. We soon discovered, however, an attic that lay forgotten beneath a high-peaked roof in one of the Collège's lesser buildings, and there often retreated of an evening to pore over our books, or perfect each other's Latin (or Darnay's English), or argue some point of rhetoric or philosophy from the day's lectures. Lest it be thought by some that we had overnight become monks, I may add that we spent many more hours, and drank down many bottles of good red wine, in talk of pretty women, and in talk of the newest sensations at the theatre and the opera, and in news of Court and town, and in chattering of nothing of import whatsoever.
How well, and how fondly, I remember those few golden years in Paris, undoubtedly the most dazzling city on the face of the Earth. And how I gloried in it! I confess I ran wild, like any other young scapegrace whose ample allowance burnt a hole in his pocket. Free of the dormitory's restrictions, I enjoyed the liberty to haunt theatres, cafés, gambling-hells; to drink coffee and Cognac at Zoppi's, read the forbidden books of the fashionable new Philosophers, dream of becoming an author like Voltaire or Diderot; to visit the most notorious bawdy-house in the city and there be initiated into its mysteries, after which I promptly kept a saucy shop-girl as a mistress; and somehow thro' it all I attended the lectures, read a heap of dusty books, learnt my share of French Law, and discovered a profound kinship of minds (if not always of opinions) with my looking-glass twin.
"Tell me about your brother and sister," said Darnay to me one day in our attic retreat, after lectures were done.
"What is there to tell?" said I, laughing.
"Whatsoever you wish. I have no brothers or sisters myself, only three cousins ... and one of them is in his cradle still. My cousin Gilbert is a dreadful little priggish boy, and my cousin Eléonore is but thirteen years old, and far too clever for her yearsshe is the very devil!"
"O, I have cousins, toomy father's brother's children, Elijah and his three sisters. My uncle is no more than a lazy, good-natured drunkard, if truth be told, but Elijah seems likely to get on. As for my brother, Oliver, he is a splendid fellow, all that my father could ask for. He is tall and ruddy and handsome, just as an English gentleman should be; my mother used to say that he would grow to be a true John Bull Englishman, and that one would never guess he was half French. He rides hard, drinks hard, and works hard. But he would spring to my defence in an instant, whether against some school-yard bully or against our father himself when he is ill-tempered."
"And your sister?"
"I scarce know Bella. She is nine years older than I and is wedded to a ship-owner in Bristol, and they don't often spare time for a visit. I remember that she was rather vain, and selfish, but quite shrewd, and had little patience for small brothers who might be underfoot. She assists her husband in managing his concerns and evidently does well at it, for they are enormously rich." I poured out another glass of red wine for him and grinned. "You are more fortunate than you know, Darnay, not to have had some imperious elder sister ordering you about."
"Won't you call me Charles, in private? Are we not good enough friends for that, by now?"
"If you wish," said I. "If you will call me Sydney in return."
"Darnay ... Charles," I ventured, "since we are friends, and speaking of our families, may I ask you a question?"
"Anything. You know that."
"Well then ... Darnay is not your true name, is it?"
"No," said he after a moment's silence. "It's not. How do you know?"
I shrugged. "Darnay is not the name of a Nobleman, and you are manifestly one of the Noblesse. You are no more an ordinary Advocate's son, or a provincial Banker's son, than I am the First Prince of the Blood Royal."
To my surprise, he crimsoned. "To me," he whispered at last, "that word Noblesse is more a term of shame than of honour ... tho' I ought not brand all the Aristocracy with the same stigma."
"I-I meant only that you carry yourself like a gentleman born: in a courtly manner, like one taught to observe honour and courtesy in all things"
"And as so many do not!" he exclaimed, fiercely. I stared at him, all amazement.
"Forgive me. But if you knew what I know, or merely suspect, about my own family, the people whose name I bear ..."
It was my own turn to change colour. "I didn't mean to pry."
"No, it will be a relief to speak of it to someone. And who better than you, whom I know I can trust?"
"If you wish, then."
"Well ... do you remember, we once spoke of our kinfolk, and I told you my father had gained an ill reputation? He was only one of a bad family. They have always been judged callous landlords and harsh masters. And there were others who were far worse than my father. My uncle, his elder brother, was banished from Court for hishis private conduct."
"Banished from Court?" I echoed him. "From this Court, from Versailles? From the court of the Lecher-King, who keeps a brothel on the Palace grounds?"
He nodded. "Banished by Louis XV himself. So you can imagine how very vile my uncle's behaviour must have been. If it were only debauchery and lechery ... but I've heard other rumours, ugly rumours of how he gets his women, and how he treats them." He lowered his voice, though no one could have overheard us. "Whipping, bloodletting, rape ... and they say he prefers little girls, of no more than thirteen, tho' he'll take any woman who strikes his fancy ... he enjoys deflowering them, corrupting them, hurting them. I've heard that he is diseased, as well, and that's why he has no living children. It's no more than I would expect. Of course," he added hastily, "I've scarce met him, nor do I wish to. But if you were I, would you care to know that such a man is your blood-kin?"
"Mordieu," I murmured, "it's an ugly story you tell me. We all imagine our own troubles are the worst ... until we hear another's."
"I wish nothing to do with him, or his tainted name. So, with my mother's blessing, here at Louis-le-Grand, and probably elsewhere, I am and shall be merely Charles Darnay, son of nobody in particular."
"I won't tell a soul. Word of honour."
He smiled and clasped my hand. "Thank you, Carton."
"Sydney," I corrected him.
"Sydney. That's not a very common name, is it? In England?"
"No," I agreed, refilling our glasses once again, relieved to have changed the subject of our conversation. "It's more common as a surname, I expect."
"Sir Philip Sydney," said Darnay, nodding, "he was a poet, was he not?"
"Yes. But I was named for his descendant. Algernon Sydney."
"Algernon Sydney?"
"A comrade of Cromwell's"
"Ah, your Civil Wars."
"who fought against the King, even tho' he was himself an Earl's son," I told him. "He was a great man. Long after the Restoration, he spoke out against the King and was at last condemned and put to death, because the King feared him. He died for the cause of Liberty."
"A great man indeed," murmured Darnay.
"My father has always held with the rights of Parliament, and the people, above the rule of Aristocracy. He named my brother after Cromwell, and me after Sydney."
"Did you know," said Darnay suddenly, "that there are tidings from America of a riot in Boston, in the British colonies, some months since? They are calling it a massacre, it's said. It's rumoured that dozens of folk, perhaps hundreds, were killed by British troops."
"What of it?"
"What of it? You, who a moment ago spoke of the cause of Liberty, can ask that? Carton, their taxes lay too heavy a burthen upon them. Once again an oppressed people are speaking out against unjust rule."
"Very well; but nothing that you or I can do will make a whit of difference," said I.
"It's the fruit of the modern Philosophy, Carton! A hundred years ago such a thing couldn't have happened. But to-day ... to-day change is everywherechange and reform. Soon folk like my uncle will have to answer for their outrages. Ere you and I have passed our prime, we'll be dwelling in a new world."
"And you are going to take part in this great endeavour, are you?"
"Perhaps. Perhaps I shall. You needn't smile. When one sees the Injustice carried on here in France, the Nobility's detestable privilegesyes, and in England, too"
"Not so inequitably, and not by me."
"Seeing a wrong done, and doing nothing to correct it, is near as bad as committing a wrong oneself. You will be a Barrister one day; why not defend the victims of Injustice? Think on it. You can't sit idly by forever, Carton."
"I'll think on it," said I, smiling, and drank down my glass.
My Parisian idyll came to an abrupt close when I had scarce turned twenty. "We have received a letter from your father in England," said Father Bérard to me, after having called me into his study. "He tells us that you are to return home immediately, and permanently."
"Return home?" I stammered. "For what reason?"
"He does not say. He merely includes a draught on the bank of Tellson et Fils to pay for your passage to England. We shall miss you, Carton."
Mystified, and monstrous disappointed, I ordered my servant to pack my belongings, bade adieu to Célie (my pretty shop-girl) with a handsome present, and at last went in search of Darnay. "I don't know why I'm to go home now," I complained, after divulging my ill tidings in a secluded corner of the library. "I was to stop on in Paris. I was to go on to the University here, as my mother wished. I'd rather be here, where my friends are."
"I'll miss you," said Darnay. "This place will be empty without you. But you know that. Do you think you will ever return?"
"How should I know? I don't know, even, why my father has called me back. But perhaps you could come to England. Some day."
"Perhaps. If circumstances don't keep me in France."
"What circumstances?"
"Property I may inherit, if my uncle has no more children, which seems likely."
"Property?" said I. "You never before mentioned property. Where is it?"
"A country estate east of Paris. Nothing remarkable about it. But it may be mine, some day, and then I shall have obligations, particularly to put right what my uncle and his family have made wrong."
"Always so grave and responsible!" said I, laughing despite my gloomy temper. "You make me almost delighted that I shan't inherit my father's estate. Charles, take care you don't grow old too soon."
"And you, take care that you don't linger in your youth too long," returned Darnay, gently, as we embraced. "We will see each other again, Sydney; I am sure of it."
Meet the Author
The granddaughter of children's author Lillie V. Albrecht (author of Deborah Remembers, The Spinning Wheel Secret, and three other historicals), Susanne Alleyn definitely doesn't write for children, unless, like her, they have found guillotines, high drama, and the French Revolution fascinating since the age of ten or so.
Susanne was born in Munich, Germany, and grew up in Massachusetts and New York City. After studying acting and singing, and earning a B.F.A. in theater from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, Susanne eventually came to the conclusion that, as an actor, she was quite a good writer, and that sending out manuscripts to editors and agents was still easier on the nerves than going to auditions. (She can, nevertheless, still sing a high C when requested.) Having been unwholesomely fascinated by the French Revolution since she read the Classics Illustrated comic-book version of A Tale of Two Cities, she set out to write about it. Her debut novel, A Far Better Rest, a reimagining of A Tale of Two Cities (what else?) from the point of view of Sydney Carton, was published in 2000.
Though a longtime fan, she had never considered writing mysteries, however, until she suddenly found herself creating a historical mystery plot suggested by an actual series of murders committed in Paris in the early 1800s. Police agent Aristide Ravel made his first appearance in Game of Patience and returned in A Treasury of Regrets, both set in Paris in the Directoire period of 1796-97.
The Cavalier of the Apocalypse and Palace of Justice, the third and fourth mysteries in the series and both prequels, appeared in 2009 and 2010. Susanne intends to cover the entire Revolutionary period in future novels. She would like to add that she speaks French very badly.
Susanne and her three cats live in Albany, NY.

A Far Better Rest is a wonderful retelling of A Tale of Two Cities from Sydney Carton's point of view. It tells the story of Carton's entire life, filling in the gaps in A Tale of Two Cities, where Carton disappears for several years. But not only does Susanne Alleyn do a great job at filling in Carton's 'missing years', but she also writes an excellent novel of the French Revolution that stands completely on its own. Yes, it does help if you've read A Tale of Two Cities first, but it is not absolutely necessary. I have not read it for several years, and it's amazing how much I had forgotten. (For example, I had forgotten that Sydney Carton had gone to school in France.) Alleyn's description of the events of the Revolution is far more accurate than Dickens', as she explains in the afterword. Also, I love the way Alleyn introduces historical figures into her narrative; it was a clever touch, to have Carton and Darnay go to school with Robespierre and Desmoulins,for example. And Alleyn's original characters, especially Eleonore, are great additions to the story. I have read many historical novels about the French Revolution; this is one of the best.
I have submitted at least two reviews for this work. While I realise that my views may not be uniform with others expressed on this site, I still do not feel that is adequate reason to discount my vote. I was apalled to read 'Cookie or Candy or Buttercup' recite a basically meaningless review, while my review, the work of much thought and thorough research throughout A FAR BETTER REST was discounted. I felt slighted, as a 5-star review, utterly mindless in objective, surpass my 3-star review, which, again, while not the majority opinion, still deserved some measure of recognition. I remain convinced, however, that there was merely some misunderstanding. I trust that the Barnes and Noble webmasters will expediently correct this error. Thank you for your consideration and time.
Susanne Alleyn's debut novel is a virtual time machine that transports the reader to the 18th century.You feel as if you are really there in this retelling of Dickens' Tale.Sydney Carton narrates the story of his life and the part he plays in the French Revolution.There are many historical and fictional characters woven together in this riveting account of love and sacrifice.If you like A Tale of Two Cities, then A Far Better Rest is a must read!
For anyone who found the plot and ambiance of A Tale of Two Cities exhilarating but was somewhat disappointed by Dickens' lack of depth in characters and blatant misportrayal of historical fact, Susanne Alleyn's vivid reimagining of Dickens' classic does much to enhance the believability of the original work. While maintaining Dickens' air of tense and high drama, as well as (quite incredibly) Dickens' language, Alleyn adds depth and background to Sydney Carton's ultimate self-sacrifice and does pays much attention to the historical details of the French Revolution, something Dickens himself scrupulously neglected. By weaving compelling strands of Dickens' original plot together with some brilliant ones of her own (including Eleanore d'Ambert, Carton's brilliant and brave lover who I like a lot more than Lucie :)) , Alleyn makes Carton's final decision more understandable, and yet, far more laudable. A Far Better Rest is an exquisitely crafted page-turner that will have surprises even for the most avid reader of Dickens.
Absolutely wonderful reading. Susanne Alleyn¿s style brings you accurately into the world of the French revolution even deeper than Dickens¿ 'Two Cities'. It does stand on its own. Susanne's approach and writing brings us a story which is fresh and alive. Her story is one into which you can sink you teeth. Its beefy and deep. Even for those who are not necessarily into historic novels or romance A' Far Better Rest' offers excellent reading. Outstanding work by a first time novelists! ONE WARNING: Be sure you are comfortable, with your favorite beverage and munchies near by. Once you pick it up and start reading you won¿t want to put it down! Five stars or two thumbs -up on this one. You¿ll love it!
I hated A TALE OF TWO CITIES. It was too good and sofistikated for mee. But mrs. suzannes FAR BETTA REST was soooooooooo good. Itt apeeled to a lazee reader like me. Good jub, mrs. suzannes. LUV YA

Will the bloated Mississippi River inundate scores of bridges and other infrastructure in the South as the flood crest snakes its way toward the delta region? The Federal Emergency Management Agency has summoned the expertise of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency to help predict the potential for disaster, writes Nextgov's Bob Brewin.
NGA is providing IT data and analysts to determine the effects of the swelling river on bridges, roads, railways, power plants, schools and other elements of the infrastructure, Brewin writes.
Using NGA's imagery, FEMA can view details at a resolution as fine-grained as one foot, Brewin writes. NGA's systems can show the effects of a disaster, such as last month's tornado outbreak in Alabama, on a region in addition to predicting potential impending calamities. The data comes from the agency's Homeland Security Infrastructure Program, which NGA created in 2001 to speed response times to U.S. disasters.

Remove the athletes and you remove the profit. Without the athletes, there is no college sports. There are no huge sponsorships from big companies like Nike. The coaches with their million dollar contracts have no one to coach. There is no revenue in ticket sales.
Many people make a career predicting what will happen in sports. Sage users have predicted bold upsets, Super Bowl winners, MVPs and more for 2016. Agree or disagree, we're in for another great year in sports!
Why did I need to be put in line? Because I needed to be shocked out of my extravagant college expectations, which had been influenced by stereotypical "college" stories told by people reminiscing about their "glory days." My initial expectations had been clouded by this way of thinking: I shouldn't be in my dorm room every night; rather, I should be out partying every chance I get.
All three New Zealanders are quality skilled big men and all have a very high potential. It's the first time such high level Division I prospects from New Zealand will head to the USA at more or less the same time.
Paying athletes salaries as university employees is impractical, given the complex set of ancillary issues that option raises. However, allowing college athletes to receive money from outside the athletic department is much more straightforward.
I wish I could follow it all more casually, that I could watch a game, talk trash with my friends and cheer when my team scores. And when it's over, it's over. That's the dream: reaping the good without suffering the bad. But being a fan doesn't work that way.
You know those triumphant stories that make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside? This is one of them.
Louisville trial lawyer Sheila Hiestand is 6 foot tall, outgoing and vivacious. She has the total inner confidence that made her a Hall of Fame college basketball player and now one of Kentucky's top trial attorneys.
Let's face it. The Republicans will have quite a time trying to sift through their thicket of candidates. So many angles and issues and characters to consider. Do I like the clean-cut union-busting Wisconsin governor or the clean-cut anti-choice former Senator from Pennsylvania?
Woo-woo or not, compassion is needed today more than ever, and perhaps mindfulness can help bring us there. Through Mumford's book, we can all learn to be Mindful Athletes in our day-to-day lives.
As with everything, it depends how you define the question. If "post moves" is--as I believe it is--the ability to conjure up a sequence of basic post fundamentals into much larger, connected, evolving, and unique combinations, then this is what I have to say about that:
For Memorial Day, my family and I flew from Philadelphia to Tampa. I fly a lot for work so I am used to the experience. However, my children, who are eight and twelve, always have questions.
In many cases international players who end up coming to the USA for college are late signees as they take time to weigh professional offers in Europe against NCAA scholarship offers. That trend has continued this year.
As you enter the world and strive to figure out your why, know that it will come to you when it comes, not when you want it to. It will come and it will be the second most important day of your life. Give me a call. I want to hear all about it.
I have pretty much ruled out any activities that involve brain swelling. But I am quite confident that I never considered any experience that involved sleeping in my car in a rental car parking lot at the Cincinnati airport in the middle of the night to be on my bucket list.
It's sorta weird. When you get in, you have the typical public perception of it being kind of quirky and not that tough, but it's not like that at all. Let me preface the conversation about college cheerleading with a quick aside about cheerleading in high school.

This review is from: G.SKILL RIPJAWS MX780 USB Wired RGB Laser Gaming Mouse
Pros: Good looks, quality workmanship. Lighting effects are very nice.
Cons: 2 Cons:
1.Software needs help with Windows 10 and auto startups. had to remove software from auto start to run it.
Yes, I checked everything from Antivirus to bios settings. Removed it from auto start and it works fine.
2.Possible game changer- extremely bad location for right rear side button. Gamers sometimes go into a zone where they get aggressive in their mouse movements, I am constantly pressing that button no matter what grip configuration I use.
Other Thoughts: G.Skill did a fine job on this mouse overall and I will work through the side button issue.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: G.SKILL RIPJAWS KM780 MX Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - Cherry MX Blue with Gaming Keycaps
Pros: A lot of time went into the physical design of this keyboard and G.Skill nailed it. This is one beautiful keyboard with a tremendous amount of features. Aesthetics and quality are seen throughout this physical device and I love typing with it. Keys are not absurdly loud, but what I would expect from this type of device.
Cons: This device would be a 5 egg device but one disappointing shortcoming..The software! Although it isn't intuitive I worked my way through it. The biggest problem was getting to even run on Windows 10 Pro. It just would not start under any circumstances. I researched it to no avail and spent about 3 hours looking bios/admin use/user rights/anti virus blockage-you name it, I looked at it. Finally, when I was about to give up.. I looked into the startup tab and decided to remove it from auto start and now it works fine. Software needs some attention but the keyboard itself is a polished device.
Other Thoughts: Love the keyboard and would definitely recommend it.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: GIGABYTE GB-BXBT-1900 (rev. 1.0) 1 x 204Pin SO-DIMM Intel HD Graphics Black Mini / Booksize Barebone System
Pros: Got this box to setup Untangle. Initial box setup was relatively easy. Slap in RAM and SSD and you're good to go. Took about 15 minutes. This box is small, so it's a little harder to work with, but very simple. Wrote Untangle image to USB drive and it booted straight to the install on the USB. Untangled installed easy and setup was fast. Box itself is nice looking, if not a finger print magnet. Easily handles the firewall application. Quiet-quick and small. Remember Lo Voltage RAM, be sure to check compatibility list. If your interest is a firewall box, the price/performance is awesome. Kudo's to Gigabyte for a solid build. After seeing the build quality and ease of setup, going to continue with Gigabyte for these types of units.
Cons: I can't think of any ATM.
Other Thoughts: Components used for build:
G.Skill 8GB-Model F3-1333C9S-----ADATA Premier SP550 120GB SSD----Vantec CB-U300GNA USB 3.0 to Gigabyte Ethernet (Need 2 NIC's for FW.)
If on Reboot you get No support for Input error, reboot to safe mode to finish setup. Then reboot again and connect through LAN for finish.

Since starting Talking Comics with Tim in 2009, I have made a frequent effort to not interview creators more than once. But as I am well into my second year, I've decided to ease that self-imposed restriction. Thus why I tapped Chris Schweizer again (after last year's discussion) to do an email interview regarding his second installment in the Crogan Adventures chronicle, Crogan's March (Oni Press). In addition to discussing the adventures of French Legionnaire Peter Crogan (circa 1912), the SCAD Atlanta professor pulls back the curtain on his creative process as well as his plans to participate in Free Comic Book Day in Atlanta (he has a 10-page Crogan Adventures story in the Oni Press Free-for-All). For my money, Schweizer is one of the good guys in the Atlanta comics scene and I appreciated the chance to interview him about his latest book. Once you read the interview, be sure to check out the 26-page preview that Oni has posted.

Previously, the German automaker had only hinted that it would produce the urban runabout in the first half of the decade. Also of note is that the Megacity EV will be launched under a new sub-brand, much in the same way that the automaker has used its Mini branch to enter into lower-market segments without taking the chance of tarnishing the well-earned reputation

In this paper, Adaptive Power Control with Overhearing Avoidance (APC-OA) has been proposed. The proposed power control algorithm has been implemented in PICSENSE wireless sensor nodes. The energy consumption of proposed MAC has been compared with that of On Demand Transmission Power Control (ODTPC) protocol and it is shown that the Adaptive Power Control with Overhearing Avoidance gives higher energy conservation compared to ODTPC. The power level convergence towards the optimal power for APC-OA is two times faster than the ODTPC.

Synthesis and characterization of thieno[3,2-b]thiophene-isoindigo-based copolymers as electron donor and hole transport materials for bulk-heterojunction polymer solar cells
A novel class of thieno[3,2-b]thiophene (TT) and isoindigo based copolymers were synthesized and evaluated as electron donor and hole transport materials in bulk-heterojunction polymer solar cells (BHJ PSCs). These π-conjugated donor-acceptor polymers were derived from fused TT and isoindigo structures bridged by thiophene units. The band-gaps and the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) levels of the polymers were tuned using different conjugating lengths of thiophene units on the main chains, providing band-gaps from 1.55 to 1.91 eV and HOMO levels from −5.34 to −5.71 eV, respectively. The corresponding lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) levels were appropriately adjusted with the isoindigo units. Conventional BHJ PSCs (ITO/PEDOT:PSS/active layer/interlayer/Al) with an active layer composed of the polymer and PC71BM were fabricated for evaluation. Power conversion efficiency from a low of 1.25% to a high of 4.69% were achieved with the best performing device provided by the D−π−A polymer with a relatively board absorption spectrum, high absorption coefficient, and more uniform blend morphology. These results demonstrate the potential of this class of thieno[3,2-b]thiophene-isoindigo-based polymers as efficient electron donor and hole transport polymers for BHJ PSCs. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
