About this design:
This is the necklace I am placing on the Etsy site in our Wheels for Dixie drive. It kind of goes back to the pick I did "Cowgirl Pearls Pink & Brown". This was my first try at wire wrapping small dangles onto a ring. I used these tiny/thin headpins that had a little ball on the end. Had to use 2 so I wound up with a little ball on the wrap and I think it looks cool. I'm thinking that I should price this between $35-$40 maybe? Tell me what you think.
Would have posted this yesterday but I could not get on LB after about 11AM. Plus there has just been lots of drama on my cul-de-sac the past 2 days. Police have been here twice. So much fun.
I got a new button clasp for the ceramic button necklace. Please look and tell me if it is okay.
Update on ButterBall. He gave me a horrible scare Friday night. I was checking on him and the moms. He looked okay, got up and immediately started crying like he was in pain. Also acted like he could hardly breath and he fell trying to walk. I actually thought he was dying for a minute. I picked him up and did the back pat thing you do for congestion. After a few minuted he was okay. I debated going to the emergency clinic. But I knew it would be $200 so I put him in the travel carrier next to my bed so I could watch him all night. Went to vet next day. Apparently he was struggling to breath and neither vet heard much movement in his lungs. An X-ray would have been $150 so I opted to just get more Clavamox and hope it was just lingering congestion from the kitty cold. He has only had 1 more spell and seems to be
breathing better everyday. It was very scary though.
Components:Lipstick Ranch Rusted Iron Daisy Pendant. Pink Tumbled Opal Nuggets. Pink Freshwater Pearls. Brown Freshwater Pearls. Rose Pink Quartz Nuggets. Small Jasper Rounds. Copper Chain, Links, Toggle, Small & Large Spacer Beads, Rings, Spacer Disks, Headpins & Eyepins, Jump Rings

Deb – this is your best yet! Going to my favs. Warm necklace with the pinks and browns. Gorgeous. Nice choice of focal. And the wire wrapping looks awesome.
I'm glad the baby kitty is OK!
What kind of chain is at the back of the necklace by the clasp?
I really like it
Wow! Both the necklace and the kitty saga!
So glad Butterball is doing better and hope it stays that way.
Your necklace design is fantastic and your wirework awesome! I agree with you, those little ball pins look great around the ring!
I love everything about this piece!
Beautiful design, Deb! Your wire wraps look great. The shades of pink and brown are perfect with the copper.
Hope BB continues to improve. He's getting so big.
Peggy I got the chain at Michael's. I don't ever order chain because I like touching it to feel the weight and see the size of the links.
Thank you for the compliments…especially regarding the wire wrap. I had only done something.like that once before but I just wrapped extra wire around the bead.
Yes BB is getting to be a big boy…still fits.in my hand. But he's feisty. Has a little bit of a temper and thinks he's bad news. He has play dates with Mousey everyday, I really believe Mousey thinks he is the
baby daddy. He washes BB like a mom does
Such a cute little furball! I so hope he heals!!! I love this necklace!! the wraps are perfect for the style and I love the beads and pearls you chose to go with the LR!!!
I agree with the price range. Pick a number in there.
I too agree with the price range. I would pay it for sure.
This necklace is fantastic. Def. worth at least $40, maybe even up to $45. Remember to come up w/a attention-tweaking name… like 'Rusty Cowgirl's Rose'….
I know it's not a rose, exactly, but it would draw people in….
I had a necklace on display at many crafshows that wasn't getting the attention it deserved, b/c the focal was subtle beauty that didn't shout out "hey! Look at me!" Its descriptive tag got nudged over 1/2 of the focal… a woman picked it up to see what was underneath… saw how lovely the focal was…. and bought it. I now use this trick regularly so people actually look at the quiet ones.
Glad BB is doing ok. It wouldn't hurt to give his back a thumping a couple times a day to help keep that congestion broken up.
I'm helping a friend bottlefeed a litter of tiny orphan kittens. They are only 5 days old today. We lost one yesterday and found a nursing momcat with a small litter to foster the 2 weakest. The remaining 3 are looking good so far but our fingers are crossed. It's dicey w/such tiny tiny kits…
Fabulous necklace, Deb Love your take on wirewrapping! Least 45 $ say.
Glad BB is a little better, I hope he will keep on improving. Hope Eeka and her friends kitties will become strong too.
Deb, I love it as for the price listen to the girls, soooo glad that BB is better, he will get stronger as he grows
Deb, this is so beautiful! I hope BB is OK. He's beautiful, too!
May have a potiental loaner cart for Dix on the way. Have to see if it will fit. The cost is a fraction of a new one.
Ditto what everyone's said already, but I wanted to add that the dangles echo the shape of the focal, which ties the piece together so nicely. Love pink and copper. Hope your fur and human (police?) trials will end in all the bad stuff going away, leaving nothing but better days ahead.
Thanks again everyone. Eeka I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the little kitties. It is so hard when they are small…everyday is touch and go.
Susie that is so cool about the cart. Hopefully that will work out.
Laud, the police come to my cul-de-sac on a regular basis. Almost always because of my neighbor. The woman is in denial that her son is an irresponsible crackhead. This Sunday police were called by another neighbor because he (the actual father of 3 of the kids in the house) chose to shirk his duty as baby sitter/adult supervisor for the day. His mother went to work and within 30 minutes his buddy picked him up. He returned briefly to.deliver food and immediately left again. The neighbor was concerned and.being in the health/childcare field has a legal responsibilty to.report this type of.incident. The grandmother, upon returning home and finding out what had happened, proceeded to.accuse the wrong neighbor, accuse us all of trying to.take her kids, accuse us all.of trying to.kick all the (her word) n**g**s out of the cul-de-sac, and said she was going to.go all.NY on.them and get.someone down here to.cut.them.into.pieces.
The police had already been here Thursday because her son.collapsed out.the.front door. Apparently an "anxiety attack from all the grease" where he works. I kid.you not…that's what she said.
WOW! You live an exciting life and not of the good kind, either. Obviously the neighbor's son is irresponsible because the MOM is always making excuses for him. (Does that sound like a retired school teacher?) It would appear that MOM needs a serious reality check.
Now about the necklace…. Love the design and the daisy is great but all of the Lipstick Ranch pieces are great. IMHO your price for it is right on
Sorry I mixed the cat names up on my earlier post. Having a sick kitten is distressing and the problems always seem to happen at night or on Sunday.
I haven't been on the LB site much in the past week or two so I haven't kept up with all that is going on…. the farmer's market, the street fair… too many irons in the fire. Takes up most of my time.
I had noticed you weren't here Nancy. Don't worry about the name mix-up. So many people on here have pets as avatars and talk about them.
The Mom definitely makes excuses for the son. She says he only went out to get food but we all know he was gone for 4 hours. He also doesn't deal here but I saw him get in a car and ride down the street with this person and.come back in 10 minutes. I see him do that a lot.
Sounds like you've been busy.
Ah, Deb! Your story brings back memories! The police were on our block regularly, due to our neighbors fighting or neglecting their kids. have had DCF in our living room many times wanting to know what was going on next door with the kids. SOOOOOOO glad they're gone!
It is so stressful though. I picked what I "thought" was a quiet cul-de-sac but the woman next to me makes it anything but.

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
Continuing a centuries-long crusade to crush childhood fantasies, science has determined that Spider-Man as we know him couldn't actually exist. It turns out the superhero's body is far too big, and his hands and feet way too small, to permit him to adhere to surfaces, making that "wall-crawler" moniker pretty tough to pull off.
Well, it's not only Spider-Man, whose body and feet seem to be normal-sized, but all humans (sorry, Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen, Silk, et al). There goes the Spider-Verse.
In a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers from the United States, United Kingdom and Australia determined that Spider-Man couldn't do whatever a spider can — specifically, scale walls — unless 40 percent of his body was covered in sticky pads, and he possessed enormous feet.
What qualifies as "enormous"? Try size 114 shoes. Add to that roughly 43-inch hands.
"We'd need about 40 percent of our total body surface, or roughly 80 percent of our front, to be covered in sticky footpads if we wanted to do a convincing Spider-Man impression," explained Dr. David Labonte, Cambridge University's Department of Zoology.
Those evolutionary limits leave geckos (significantly smaller than Spider-Man) as the largest creature that can adhere to walls and ceilings, followed by tree frogs and, yes, spiders.
That darned Parker Luck strikes again!
(via BBC News)
Yabbut, geckos don't have radioactive blood.
CheckMATE, science!
Life, and super powers, finds a way.
It's physics, b!tches!
Wall-Crawling: Spider-Man's exposure to the mutated spider venom induced a mutagenic, cerebellum-wide alteration of his engrams resulting in the ability to mentally control the flux of inter-atomic attraction (electrostatic force) between molecular boundary layers. This overcomes the outer electron shell's normal behavior of mutual repulsion with other outer electron shells and permits the tremendous potential for electron attraction to prevail. The mentally controlled sub-atomic particle responsible for this has yet to be identified. This ability to affect the attraction between surfaces is so far limited to Spider-Man's body (especially concentrated in his hands and feet) and another object, with an upper limit of several tons per finger. At one point, Spider-Man was able to prevent Anti-Venom from taking his mask off by making it stick to his face.
@DP "The mentally controlled sub-atomic particle responsible for this has yet to be identified." So it's basically magic…
Much like Wolverine's origin, it loses the appeal if you try to explain it, so just enjoy the fantasy world. Besides, it's a world where the existence of giant that eats planets is common knowledge, and there is are several dudes made entirely of rocks walking around. Our science doesn't necessarily equate to Marvel universe science. So sit down, and shut up Dr. Labonte.
This is a link to a video of a gecko inspired climbing system developed for the military. It only uses two pads not much bigger than the climber's hands. The foot platforms are supported by the hand pads so in fact one pad supports this man's weight at points in his climb.

Sports Monday Morning Sports Report
posted by November 27 at 9:18 AMon
Seahawks: Seattle vs. Green Bay on MNF. Both Alexander and Hasselbeck are set to start.
Sonics: Another loss. Spurs center Tim Duncan scored his 15,000 career pointthanks to a goal-tending charge against the Sonics' Nick Collison.
Mariners: In the wake of Willie Bloomquist's contract extension, DMZ at U.S.S. Mariner has this to say:
Where this is really harmful is getting him 250 at-bats a year. If Bloomquist gets that many at-bats, something is badly wrong with the way the manager is using him. 250 at-bats for a guy hitting .247/.320/.299 is bad for the team. It costs them runs, and runs cost the team wins, and we want to see the Mariners win games and compete for pennants and go to the World Series and win it, because we're fans.
Building winning teams takes two things: roster management, where you assemble all the best tools you can, and the actual use of those tools. While a million dollars is too high a price to pay for Bloomquist, he does have value when used correctly. Paid too much and used so badly, he's a symptom of what's wrong with both the roster construction and on-field management of the Mariners, and that makes us sad.
Also: Ohio State #1, USC #2, Michigan #3; Slog regular Mike in MO happy, Chicago Fan not happy; and the Baltimore Ravens sacked Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger nine times yesterday. Nine times.

Images of the DayA group of New College students gathers in anthropology professor Uzi Baram's class on Monday, the first day of the January interterm. The school's small classes encourage discussions, which can benefit from having students with a range of backgrounds and perspectives.
Sarasota developer David Band and his partner Kelly Frye's project, Grande Bay Resort, in St. Johns, Virgin Islands, has sparked the formation of the community's first anti-development organizing group. Band and Frye's partnership, Bay Isles Associates LLLP, is being sued by residents who claim the project is a nuisance and infringes on their property rights.

What's the matter, David, if you don't stop defending the indefensible, the Grijalvas will stop asking you over for dinner? If I were you at this point, I'd give up the dinner invitations. They are too expensive when they come at the cost of your reputation (or what remains of it after three solid years of unbelievably BASE propagandizing in support of TUSD's never-ending parade of B.S. administrative and governance decisions.)
You write, " Because it left out TUSD's May 10 teacher raise, its conclusion that TUSD reneged on its pledge to its teachers is inaccurate."
What you write is FALSE.
The fact that TUSD reneged on its pledge to the teachers is based on a comparison between WHAT THE DISTRICT TOLD THE TEACHERS AND VOTERS IT MOBILIZED IN SUPPORT OF 123 and WHAT THE DISTRICT ACTUALLY DID WITH THE FUNDS AFTER THE PROPOSITION PASSED.
The district did not say, "The May 10 raise of $1300 will be borrowed from M&O funds and paid back out of 123 funds if the propositions passes." Anyone who was listening to their (as usual) misleading propaganda would have thought that the entirety of 123 funds would, if the proposition passed, be divided up and portioned out in the form of additional raises. Strangely, there are people who have not had sufficient opportunity to observe how TUSD always operates who expect things like FOLLOW-THROUGH and KEEPING YOUR WORD.
As for your assertion that, "TUSD's decision to put all its money into the salary schedule, rather than putting some of it into one time bonuses for returning teachers as most other districts did, could mean that new teachers will fare better at TUSD than elsewhere, which could be a benefit for TUSD when it comes to hiring," Teachers -- including college of ed faculty, including new teachers -- talk to one another, and TUSD's reputation in the teaching community is mud. The district's institutional culture and current teaching conditions are well known. This is why so many of the district's classrooms are filled with a rotating cast of subs, but even the subs' patience is wearing thin. Watch their comments in the Call to the Audience at the July 12 TUSD Board meeting. This district would need to fund raises 5 times as high as the raises they have funded to compensate teachers for the conditions they experience these days in TUSD classrooms, and the sad deterioration in classroom conditions is the direct result of the leadership decisions of the last three years.
Rat T. - Rather than posting your usual snark, please point out what services you deem unnecessary? I agree there is plenty of waste in public and private education, but I don't think services are where the problem lies.
I believe that's the Artifact Dance Project, not the Artificial Dance Project. Typical sloppy reporting and editing.
From the revised Democratic party platform: "Charter schools must reflect their communities, and thus must accept and retain proportionate numbers of students of color, students with disabilities and English Language Learners in relation to their neighborhood public schools."
Could we just acknowledge openly the indisputable fact that properly educating students to our curricular grade-level standards when they:
A) enter school with deficits in their pre-literacy and pre-numeracy skills compared to the majority of their peers of the same age
B) must receive instruction in English as a second language at the same time that they gain competence in core subjects
C) have cognitive disabilities or diagnosed special education needs
requires the installation and maintenance of professionals with special training in these areas of education and thus is more expensive for a school to achieve than educating students who don't have special needs to the same curricular, grade level standards?
District public schools have depended for a long time on funding formulas that assume a certain percentage of these kinds of needs in the population, and that percentage has been altering as more families with children who do not have remedial needs, ESL needs, or special education needs have been exiting the public district school system for charters and privates. As the ratio alters, it creates funding problems for district schools because it costs less than the per-pupil amount currently allocated to educate a child with no special needs, more than the per-pupil amount currently allocated to educate a child with special needs.
But the solution to the funding problems created as ratios of special needs to non-special needs students in district public schools change is not to require every charter school, many of which have very small-scale operations, to deliver services their size may not make it financially feasible for them to provide. Nor is the solution to require all schools to be large enough to sustain ratios that make retaining the full complement of ESL and special education professionals on site possible. A more effective and fair solution to the problems public district schools are experiencing as their ratios are altering is to adjust the per-pupil rate for students with special needs to accurately reflect the ACTUAL expense of giving these students the high-quality education they deserve, delivered by fully qualified professionals. Adjusting the rate to reflect the reality of expense should help more schools of all types retain the needed services, but there would still be a "threshold" -- a minimum # of students enrolled requiring a certain kind of service needed to support the necessary staff, and it will probably be the case that not every charter school -- and perhaps not every district school -- will have the enrollment numbers of students with special needs of various sorts to support the installation of every kind of special service on every site. Publicly funded transportation needs to be provided to the sites where the type of services each child needs are being delivered to remove any geographic or financial obstacles to families to enrolling each of their children in the school best equipped to meet their needs, but the notion that it should be possible for every publicly funded school in existence to have the full range of services needed by every member of our school-age population is an impractical, unimplementable, fiscally irresponsible fantasy. I am disappointed that the Democratic party platform now includes this plank, and I hope attempts to implement it won't do as much damage as attempts to implement other misguided federal policies (Race to the Top, etc., ad nauseam) have done.
Last time an "establishment" candidate (Gore) was spurned in favor of a "pure" candidate (Nader) we got George W Bush. I think it's hilarious when people want to repeat that with Sanders. Be careful what you wish for.
Also find it hilarious that accepting "persons of color" and "english language learners" is so commonly accepted as undesirable that they have to spell out that unpleasant requirement for charter schools.
We wouldn't have the problem with English language learners if we just returned to historically normal levels of immigration. We have been importing 6 times the historic average with predictable problems of assimilation.
Nothing will change until the population of Arizona stops CONSISTENTLY giving power to the ideology that screwed it up in the first place.
What do you all think.............................they've effed it up for the last 30 years BUT..if we re-elect them, they promise they'll fix it "This time?" Has the education system here made you all THAT stupid???
Guess that question will be answered in November.
As usual, Democratic votes will be based on hearts and minds and Republican votes will be based on hate and fear.
Hearts and minds will win!
The verdict is in on both Obama and his education legacy "Race to the Top" of which Common Core Standards were the tent pole. United States math scores went down for the first time ever from 2011 to 2015 and reading scores did not improve.
By comparison, Arizona had the highest combined math and reading gains from 2011 fourth grade to 2015 eighth grade. Our African Americans eighth graders rose to number one in the nation, our Hispanics rose from 35th to 11th and our white students rose to 6th.
Could the evidence be more stark about which approach works between centralized systems and decentralized systems? Monopolies versus free markets?
"The myth of police hunting black men is as racist a trope as there ever was and only continues the subjugation of black men and women by avoiding the real issues within the community."
"There is racial/bigoted violence directed at police officers every day in some of these communities. "
are you trying to say that stereotypes and prejudice towards police is a form of racism, as if police officers are a race
" There will be about 30-40 black men killed by police this year whereas there will be about 4000+ black men murdered by other black men this year."
where did you get these obscene numbers
there have already been 146 black people killed by police this year http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-inte…
God bless our police. The President and the AG have responsibility for this. They worked to weaken protective equipment that was available to law enforcemebt, after Baltimore. The killers know this and are taking advantage of it. Dallas and now Baton Rouge are both discharged military, that fought for their country, only to come home and murder fellow citizens and police officers.
I didn't advocate cutting necessary services. Why can't you folks ever concede that there are things that are NOT necessary? Yours is an old trick. Politicians also use it well.
Who is this guy?
How long has he been in the classroom and really fought hard in the trenches for public education?
I know Michael Gordy has fought for decades. If you want my vote, you must have had paid some serious dues...both on the picket line and in the classroom.
David: could you do a compare and contrast on exactly what Obama said about education before he became president and what the policies became once he was in office? I've seen clips of his campaign speeches that seem to indicate there was a significant difference between his campaign statements and what he was allowed to do once the interests backing him got him into office. How about an explanation of what happened with the federal education policy advisory committee after he assumed office? I've heard it described as an externally forced "sweep" over which he had little control.
What could your reason be for thinking that what we're seeing with Clinton will not be the same: a candidate being allowed to make statements that may sway voters, while there is no chance the candidate, if they become an elected official, will be allowed to implement those policy ideas?
Mari, Three more officers have been murdered and four wounded. Do you believe that the debt has been paid in full ? Do you believe that there has been enough blood shed to compensate for the two men shot by police and that the protests by the group B.L.M. can stop now ? If you do, lets hear you're thoughts on the 'matter'.
How much more should be cut, Rat T, from Arizona's Child Protective Services? Try talking to one of their overloaded caseworkers some time, or to a rep from one of the many underfunded, insufficiently professionalized, patched together non-profits that tries to fill one of the gaping holes in the sinking ship of child welfare in this state. "A thousand points of light" indeed. Rather: a dysfunctional, uncoordinated mess of voluntary "social enterprises" that provide "services" that are gravely insufficient in some areas and redundant and superfluous in others and, even where they may fill a real need, are often impaired in their effectiveness by being delivered by insufficiently qualified (and underpaid) staff.
Those who promote the further dismantling of the public sector should take a good look at what is actually happening to people in our community as critically important services are cut and cut and cut again rather than continuing to get information about how beneficial "starving the beast" is from the ALEC newsletter.
To return to the topic of this blog: Clinton-style collaboration with and capitulation to the forces behind privatization will not get this country where it needs to go. The time has come to let the Democrats know that if they continue putting people like Clinton forward, their candidate will lose in the general because they cannot unite the base behind her.
Our population is more vulnerable from the socialist, globalist lies. They could learn a lot from Reagan era if they were not so lied to.
With a rebel yell they cried more, more, more. Start cutting wasteful programs and you already have more than you need. How much did Obama waste trying to overthrow Israel?
It's astounding the degree to which people who have to work for a living in this country have been persuaded that the country's problems are the fault of requiring the class that has, throughout history, always played the largest role in depressing wages to pay their fair share of the taxes that support infrastructure and services available to all. As Sanders noted during his campaign, his tax proposal involved returning the tax rates on the top brackets to what they had been during Dwight Eisenhower's administration, provoking the interesting thought that perhaps part of what it will take to "make America great again" is not building border walls and developing protectionist economic policies, but reverting to a tax code that is sane and fair and has worked very well in our country's past, before the Reagan era issued in such successful programs of self-serving neoliberal groupthink / brainwashing and the sad spectacle of the corporate class persuading millions of its employees to vote against their own economic best interests and to become vociferous defenders of their employers' right to avoid fair taxation in support of the common good and to refuse to distribute a fair share of the profits made from their labor back to them in the form of decent wages and benefits.
That our population is vulnerable to being misused and exploited in this way is, among other things, a testament to the conspicuous failure of our education system, which produces graduates without enough knowledge of history and economic theory to recognize shoddy and manipulative arguments when they encounter them in political campaigns.
David Safier: to expect Hillary Clinton to deliver effective push-back against the corporate agenda for education and taxation -- rather than to pay lip service to the need to resist the corporate agenda while she is trying to persuade former Sanders supporters to vote for her, which is what she is doing -- is naive at best (if you actually believe her, which seems doubtful) and manipulative at worst (if you know she won't follow through but you want people to vote for her because you don't want Trump to win the election).
Cyrus Matthews announced today that Hillary is so old that she just doesn't understand emails.
You idiots!

The flowering of Japanese pornography has its historical roots. Some women wishing to appear in AVs apply to the production companies, but they are usually referred to the talent agencies. "This frankness in the story about sex and literature, writes Japanese kulturanthropologie Toshinao Yoneyama, have been preserved up to our days. In December 1995, Ganari Takahashi founded the AV studio Soft On Demand, which would become the largest independent adult video company in Japan and notable for its creative approach to adult videos.See more

To achieve happiness, long life, a person needs to strive for the harmonious interaction of Yin and Yang (Japanese "in" and "e").

Little Dorrit (2008)

Product Description
Acclaimed screenwriter Andrew Davies (Pride and Prejudice, Bleak House) brings to DVD an all new Dickens adaptation starring Academy Award Nominee Tom Courtenay (The Golden Compass), Matthew Macfadyen (MI-5, Pride and Prejudice) and newcomer Claire Foy (Being Human). This gripping new series brings to life Dickens's powerful story of struggle and hardship in 1820s London. When Arthur Clennam (Macfadyen) returns to England after many years abroad, his curiosity is piqued by the presence in his mother's house of a young seamstress, Amy Dorrit (Foy). His quest to discover the truth about "Little Dorrit" takes him to the Marshalsea Debtors Prison, where he discovers that the dark shadows of debt stretch far and wide. Filled with humorous yet tragic characters, Little Dorrit is a stirring rags to riches to rags story, exposing the underbelly of nineteenth century British society as only Charles Dickens can.]]>
Last filmed in 1988, Little Dorrit offers material--about greedy lenders and eager investors--ripe for reinterpretation. If the series doesn't surpass Bleak House, a high-water mark in Dickens adaptations, screenwriter Andrew Davies still does the author proud, despite a sketchy subplot concerning a miserable maid and her mysterious protector. But some things never change, and Dickens presents ample scene-stealing opportunities, of which Amanda Redman as a chilly socialite, Pam Ferris as a shallow governess, Russell Tovey as a lovesick suitor, and Andy Serkis as a Gallic psychopath--his creepiest character since Gollum--take full advantage. In the featurette, cast and crew provide a perceptive look at the making of this timely drama. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Dickens style was not lost. The series includes the caravan of peculiar, grotesque, quirky, and funny characters; the names being equally odd: Flintwich, Pancks, Fanny Sparkler, Pet, Tattycoram, Chivery, Tip, Affery, & Tite Barnacle. Dickens suspense was mingled throughout the 14 episodes, with the overriding plot related to "Do not forget" inside a watch, and "Make it right" a dad's dying last words, which remains unrevealed till the end (unless you've read the book). Each individual episode ends with suspense, just like Dickens wrote it originally when published in magazine form.
Pure Dickens, but better. What fabulous scenes, sets, locations, costumes, hair, dialogue, props, cast, it's all perfection even Dickens would be proud of. You will fall in love with Amy, Little Dorrit (Claire Foy) much before Arthur (Matthew Macfadyen). What a delightful adventure into period drama, humor sprinkled, intoxicating, till you can feel the grime of Marshalsea Prison, and sparkle to the glamor of the rich in Venice. A sensual presentation of a rags-to-riches tale.
Was it fiction? The bonus material explains that Dickens father spent 14 weeks in the Marshalsea Debtors Prison, and Charles had to work in a factory at age 12 to help meet the financial needs.Read more ›
The show follows a very typical Dickens plot of slowly developing mysteries and strangely interwoven relationships. Little Dorrit was born inside a debtors' prison and has lived her entire life working unendingly and without complaint to make her father's decades long imprisonment there more bearable. She is the first child born there; this fact and his former stature as a gentleman gives him an informal social superiority inside that he enjoys and uses as possible to his personal benefit. The arrival in London of Arthur Clennam from China to share with his mother the news of his father's death, pushes an already moving story into many surprising turns. Rich and poor, good and bad, people of all social circles find themselves pulled into confronting their changing fortunes. Some who find themselves well-off deal with their new situation far less well than those dealing with adversity.
Dickens is telling a story far too near to his own with the theme of these families forced to see many generations live behind prison walls for the want of a few pounds. The story is one of his strongest and this series tells it honestly and with an incredible strength of cast and script.

Brachman: Lesser Figures Shape al-Qaeda Ideology
Jarret Brachman, who tracks terrorist ideologies at West Point's Combating Terrorism Center, says al-Qaeda's figureheads are not among the...
Interviewee: Michael Scheuer
Interviewer: Eben Kaplan
April 6, 2007
Michael Scheuer, a former CIA officer who founded and led the agency's unit tracking Osama bin Laden in the late 1990s, confirms reports that al-Qaeda has been reinvigorated by a crop of new leaders. Previous U.S. claims that al-Qaeda had been crippled by the death or capture of its former leaders were inaccurate, Scheuer says, because they failed to take into account al-Qaeda's system for grooming future leaders.
Though few of the emerging al-Qaeda leaders appear to have spent any time in Iraq, Scheuer cites evidence of "cross-fertilization" between al-Qaeda tactics in Iraq and Afghanistan. Attacks on helicopters in Baghdad, for instance, resemble tactics used to resist the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Likewise, an increase in suicide bombs and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in Afghanistan suggest those tactics have been imported from Iraq. He predicts that in the coming year, veteran jihadis from Iraq will come to the aid of Islamist insurgencies in such places as Somalia and Thailand.

Having grown up in North Carolina, I moved to Alaska at the age of 21, where I lived and worked for 19 years and where all 3 of my boys were born. We moved back to NC in 2003 and lived in Hart House as a family until 2011. With 2 of my 3 boys away at school, my sons and I no longer needed such a big space but did not want to part with our beloved family home. So, the decision was made to move into a smaller property and offer Hart House to guests who wanted to experience a wonderful western North Carolina retreat together in one house - not in a hotel. It has been more rewarding than we could have imagined to know that groups of families, friends, business colleagues and wedding parties have come together to enjoy the Asheville area and the home that we love. If you are reading this...I hope that we can make your stay in the Asheville area the best that it can be!!
Mary Hart purchased this house in 2003
Hart House was purchased as a family home because I wanted to live, work, and raise my children in the Asheville area. Western North Carolina is beautiful, the people are genuine, the culture is outstanding, and there is more to do here than there is time in which to do it. It is wonderful to see people from other places enjoying the beauty and character of the Asheville area!
My favorite things about Hart House: sitting in front of one of the fireplaces on a winter's night; cooking for groups of friends or family - 3 ovens and lots of counter space make it SO much easier; sipping a cup of tea on the front porch on a peaceful, warm Spring morning; roasting marshmallows around the campfire pit in the lower yard; grilling dinner on the back porch while enjoying a glass of wine and music with my family and friends.
A great house for an extended family get together. Beds were very comfortable, Plenty of bathrooms, a great front porch, patio, and back yard. The first floor had many rooms for the family to spread out. I have rented many houses and condos, and when it says the kitchen is well stocked, they mean it. Plenty of quality pot's, pan's, mixing bowl's, cutting knifes, plates, silverware, wine glasses, and beer glasses. Even had a cabinet full of spices.
We were very pleased that Mary allowed us to bring our Golden Retriever. He had a good time running in the back yard, and being with the family.
We would do it again the next time we were in the area.
The Hart House was nothing less than perfect for our small wedding. Mary was graciously hospitable, and made us feel right at home as soon as we arrived. The house was set up perfectly for our intimate wedding and we were sad to leave such a beautiful estate. We will be returning for family reunions in the future. We highly reccommend this rental for any occasion.
The Hart House is beautiful and the grounds are lovely. The house was immaculately clean and the local popcorn that awaited us was delicious. The house is spacious and well equipped and I would love to visit again in warmer weather to enjoy more of the property. Amoreena was very helpful and easy to work with. I would highly recommend this house for large groups who want to spread out a bit.
Mrs. Hart was literally the most wonderful person my family and I have ever met. Indeed - no exaggeration. My husband and I wanted a small wedding with only about 40 guests, with a place large enough for his family to stay from Indiana and mine to come from 3 hours east in North Carolina. We held our ceremony and reception on the grounds and had an incredible time. The landscaping on the property is impeccable, and we had over 50 people in the home at one time, with room for catering, cake cutting and dancing on the patio and in the kitchen! It felt like home, was cozy, beautiful, and despite a bit of rain as our vows were said, we had the perfect, most beautiful day. You can't put a price on worry-free, pristine accommodations for guests, and the personal touch of being able to drive up to the House and get a personal tour prior to the wedding day. Mary is WONDERFUL. WONDERFUL! She made the most beautiful day of my life FLAWLESS. I think we'll do anniversary's there, too! Asheville is only a few minutes away...
Hart House is a wonderful place to stay. The kitchen was very well equipped with 3 ovens, a very large refrigerator, enough room for 5 or 6 of us to be working at the same time, many spices and all the ingredients to make s'mores. There was plenty of split wood for the fireplace and very nice toiletries in the bathrooms. The bedrooms and baths were spacious with lovely linens and comfortable beds. I can't say enough good things about Hart House and hope to rent it again next Thanksgiving for my large family.
A home for four nights, luxuriously provisioned and with endless personal touches, beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean, Hart House gave us and our family a needed retreat during our sons wedding celebration. The glorious Western NC mountains in all their autumn splendor surround this large, quiet, comfortable property. Only 24 minutes from downtown Asheville, tucked away in the mountains with easy access to Biltmore and Chimney Rock, the house has room for at least four family units. The beds were super comfortable, bathrooms all spacious and had lots of thick fluffy towels. The kitchen was a chefs delight and cleaned up in a trice. We spent all our time in the large 'great room' hanging out and chatting. Thank you to Mary and her assistants for a smoothly run, welcoming, delightfully hospitable North Carolina weekend. We will be back!!!

Minority Report
After seeing the movie Minority Report, I had no idea how it could be turned into a decent game.
After seeing the movie Minority Report, I had no idea how it could be turned into a decent game. So it's a somewhat pleasant surprise that Treyarch has managed to do what it's done with this beat-em-up (which, granted, follows its source material so closely that Tom Cruise's character resembles Rainier Wolfcastle with Lex Luthor's voice from the animated Superman). Still, decent is about the most I can say for it.
Imagine something in the Final Fight/Fighting Force vein, and rivaling The Bouncer as the best-looking example of its genre. The character models may not surpass a lot of other stuff out there, but Minority's visuals certainly contend with anything else when it comes to fighting. Bodies react to punches, kicks, and other attacks in an incredibly realistic fashion, and almost anything in an environment is breakable. Step into a room full of swan ice sculptures, for example, and soon, it's likely bye-bye, birdie. I especially enjoyed the graphical effect of the concussion rifle, the gunfrom the film that projects cool-looking circular energy blasts.
Outside the eye candy, though, lies a rather standard beat-em-up, the kind that subscribes to what I call the age-old cloned foes theoryyou know, where every fat cop can hug you to death, and each mall thug (in a mall where everyone but you is a mall thug) attacks with a baseball bat. Unlike Final Fight, however, you cannot pick up said bat (or gun, sick stick, etc.) to use for yourself, a feature that always added a little something to those beat-em-ups. The lack of such an element in Minority may seem trivial, but I've always thought of it as practically essential in a game such as this one. It doesn't take long for the action to repeat to the point of boredom, with only the occasional jetpack level breaking up the monotony. Frustrating, checkpoint-free stages only furthered my desire to quit playing. I suspect you'll feel the same way.

Fiscal court may be venturing into un-driven territory when Camp Branch Trail subdivision is paved later this year. New landowners requested Monday that road bond funds be used to finish what the original developers did not.
"We want the road built so we can sell the lots," said Steve Bowman, president and CEO of The Peoples Bank in Taylorsville.
The bank became owners of the subdivision when developers John M. Hensley and John Knasel, of The Seasons, LLC, voluntarily relinquished their ownership of the nearly 84 acres off Bloomfield Rd. in lieu of foreclosure last November. The Peoples Bank had a lien against the property for $775,000.
Judge Executive David Jenkins said that this is the first time he can recall the county using road bond money to finish paving a development. He anticipated that the roadwork would be finished later this year.
"We have to do it," said Jenkins. "and if we wait, costs are only going to go up."
Fiscal court will seek bids to bring the .91 miles of gravel up to county road specifications. In the meantime, road bond funds will be deposited in a certificate for deposit – in the hopes of earning a little interest. Developers are required by county ordinance to secure road bonds at a rate of $100,000/mile. Hensley and Knasel had secured $91,000 to cover the cost of paving.
Jenkins said the road bond secured for Camp Branch Trail subdivision should cover the county's expenses. If not, fiscal court would revisit the ordinance and increase the amount required to obtain all future road bonds. Magistrates have discussed during recent court meetings raising the amount to $160,000/mile. Jenkins said when he first came into office 10 years ago the road bond was set at only $20,000/mile.
Homeowner Theresa Bell said she was concerned when she heard that the developers gave the property back to the bank. For almost three years, the Bell family has remained the only residents of the subdivision. Their two-story home has sweeping views of the horizon in all directions.
"When we pulled up that first day, we fell in love with it," said Bell, adding that it was a nice change from noise and chaos of Louisville. "Now, we're ready for neighbors."
Bell said that a paved road would certainly help attract new home buyers. Rain and daily traffic has gradually worn down the gravel and replaced it with pot holes and trenches.
"The more it rains, the more the holes grow," said Bell. "We would be ecstatic to get a paved road."
The Camp Branch Trail subdivision consists of 36 lots ranging from one to five acres. Lots one through 16 are zoned R-1 and meant for stick built homes. Lots 17-36 are zoned R-3 and designed for manufactured homes that adhere to restrictions on size and roof pitch.
In other court news:
• Magistrates agreed to notify the dispatch contractor that the county will not automatically renew the contract at the end of the fiscal year.
• Jenkins notified magistrates that the purchase of the communications equipment will be delayed while the 9-1-1 committee researches other alternatives.
• Fiscal court unanimously approved the sheriff's department and the county clerk's office annual budgets.
• The purchase of a 2001 Ford 450 flatbed truck was approved for $7,500. The vehicle will replace the one that was stolen from the fairgrounds earlier this year.
• Time clocks at EMS and the county road department will be replaced at a cost of $518 a piece.
• Magistrate David Goodlett was re-appointed to serve a one-year term on the health board.
• The purchase of tires for two county vehicles was approved for a total of $510.

"A team led by a scientist from the Florida campus of The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) has identified a new biomarker linked to better outcomes of patients with head and neck cancers and non-small cell lung cancer. The work could help scientists develop new diagnostics and therapies and help physicians determine the best long-term treatments for patients with these cancers.
"The findings, which were published this week online ahead of print by the journal Cancer, focus on a protein called Choline phosphate cytidylyltransferase-α CCT-α or CCTα, an 'antigen' that prompts the immune system to produce antibodies against it."
