Westcoastpirate, I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that the 3x 61 day "rule" applies to Barclays though, I've only seen it referenced with AMEX. You could very well be wasting at least 1 HP over that attempt at 61 days with Barclays.

I spent last winter at Brundage on a wimb and I am very glad I made that choice. In the 53 days I skied I saw few crowds and was able to get up the mountain very quickly. On the mountain there are a lot of areas that hold powder far after stroms have past. If the snow is tracked out there is a good hike along the ridge that offers about 300+ acres of out-of-bounds steeps. Although most steeps are limited to about 100-200 feet. Hidden Valley offers a wide range of challenging terrain with no groomed runs, on weekdays you migh be one of only a few to ride the area all day. To get any good cliffs or chutes, you need to hike the ridge after chair 1. If you do this you might find some huge stashes of deep powder leading to 10-20 foot drops. With no resorts on the mountain Brundage is a throw-back to true northwestern mountain skiing. The town of McCall is a perfect mix of winter resort and small town idaho, most "tourist" come from boise, which makes the town still feel local. Nightlife is lacking (no women) but there are some chill bars where you can meet other skiers and share stories. And the christian services provide free taxi rides home from the bars.

The driver even waited almost 45 minutes for us to locate a missing bag. He then gave us a ride directly to our hotel. Highly recommended.
Easy, guy with sign waiting at the airport made life so easy! Helpful, I felt in good safe hands, cab was clean and great! Will use your service again without question!
very accurate pick up
The driver we booked on the net was lovely even though he spoke no English except "OK" and we spoke no Russian. He was held up by traffic so we were beginning to wonder if anyone was meeting us, but from then on was most helpful.
St Petersburg was amazing in every respect and one of the most interesting and lovely cities we have visited. People generally were very helpful and the food we had was international, well priced and good.
Right on time as discussed. Quick and good response on my email request.
Great transfer from airport to hotel. Driver did not speak English, but in Russia I haven't met many people who do, so it's all part of the experience.
Airport transfer was as expected. No trouble or delays.
Would use again.
very efficient
It is so nice to have someone arranged to pick you up at St Petersburg.
Excellent - on time, my name was clearly visible, good driver.
Despite us being slightly late on arrival we were met immediately on arrival.
The driver was very helpful.
We would recommend this transfer highly.
Comfortable and speedy transfer to the correct airport terminal, assistance with luggage much appreciated!
English speaking driver who was on time and polite.
Jennifer B USA
They were there within 5 minutes of our getting through customs. We were one of the first off the plane so we got through in about 30 seconds. Although he did not speak English the driver was very nice and professional. The car was very nice and clean.
On time - friendly polite and professional - back at the airport within 30 minutes from collection
excellent professional service
Following a very long delay after missing our connection flight and arriving over 8 hours AFTER our arranged time, it was great to come straight throught the arrival gate and see my name writen in large letters on a piece of paper! The driver spoke very good English and took us straight to a clean and spacious warm car, even put our case in the boot! He even told us he turned up at our original time and came back for us! Great service and wonderfull piece of mind to know you are going to get safely to your Hotel.
David J Ireland
Made the transit from airport to city very easy late at night. No need to haggle with taxis and touts.
Driver met us. He was nice, he would point out certain things to see while driving us to our hotel.
We were met at the airport and driven to our hotel. The only negative was that our driver did not speak English at all so it was a very quiet trip to our hotel. It would have been nice to be told how long the journey to the hotel would be and some information along the way.
Everything worked exactly to plan. The driver was waiting, promptly took us to the taxi and delivered us safely and swiftly to the hotel.
Atendimento bom, apesar do atraso no comparecimento no aeroporto. Quanto ao serviço em si não tenho qualquer reclamação, inclusive com a localização do hotel.

Saturn Bomberman (サターンボンバーマン Satān Bonbāman?) is a video game in the Bomberman series developed and published by Hudson Soft for the Sega Saturn. It is best known for its multiplayer functionality for up to ten players.
As from the instruction manual:
- The Fuse Is Lit
- It was just another seemingly routine day for Bomberman. While flying on patrol, looking for threats to the sanctity of peace that the world so enjoyed, Bomberman stumbled upon something that could potentially throw it all into shambles. Deep in the tangled underbrush of the rainforest, a glint caught Bomberman's keen eye. Rising from the green depths, the Crystal Tower loomed. But the crystals which held the horrible monster Crator inside the tower were missing, and so was Crator. Then a radio message crackled into the cockpit. It was Dr. I...
- "Bomberman, Mr Meanie (Mujoe in Japan) has unleashed Crator and is using his powers to conquer the world! You must get the crystals back before it's too late! The MeanieLand Amusement Park is their secret base. Please hurry!"
- It is up to Bomberman to regain control of the crystals and restore order to a crumbling planet, crushing the evil Mr. Meanie along the way. With that, a new chapter in the fight between good and bad begins...
Like most Bomberman games, Saturn Bomberman features a battle mode as well as a story mode. Along with them is a master mode in which the player races to finish a series of levels after which the player is given a rank based on time taken. This time is then saved to memory and kept on a scoreboard for future reference. The game also features several new powerups.
Saturn Bomberman utilizes Dinosaur helpers, which are initially found as eggs released upon the destruction of a soft block. Dinosaurs come in three levels: babies (the weakest), adolescents, and adults (the strongest). Dinosaurs can only take one hit no matter how large they are. If a player is riding a dinosaur when this happens, the dinosaur takes the hit instead of the player. As powerups are collected, a special meter at the top of the screen slowly builds up. Once this meter is full, the dinosaur will grow one level, from baby to adolescent or adolescent to adult. However, in battle mode this system works differently. Whenever a player collects an egg while riding on a dinosaur, the dinosaur will grow. The player can jump off of the dinosaur at any time.
Story mode[edit]
Saturn Bomberman has a story mode which can be played single player or two-player.
The story mode levels involve blowing up poles with glowing red orbs on the top (which are known as Zarfs) while avoiding (or destroying) enemies, blowing up blocks and collecting powerups. Once all the Zarfs on a level have been destroyed, an exit appears. Upon entering the exit, Bomberman will do a victory pose, then a short cut scene takes place. The cut scene shows a piece of scenery moving out of the way, then Bomberman walks through, and something closes up the way he came from. After the cut scene, the next level begins.
Battle mode[edit]
Saturn Bomberman supports up to ten human players on battle mode with 2 Multi-taps, 7 players with just one Multi-tap, or only two players without any multi-taps.
If the number of players in a game exceeds eight, the game is played on a widescreen arena, shrinking the characters and blocks to tiny proportions, making the playing field very large. This also disables many of the powerups including dinosaurs.
Online Play[edit]
The Japanese version of Saturn Bomberman also supported online play via SEGA and Xband's SEGASATURN NETWORKS prepaid-card-based pay-per-play service that utilized the SEGASATURN NETWORKS 14k modem. Players ran prepaid cards with credits for specific SEGASATURN NETWORK-enabled games through the grayish unit's built-in card reader which would then provide access to the SEGASATURN NETWORKS service and online play against others.
The North American release was significantly delayed to include support for the very different NetLink modem, a 28k modem released for the SEGA Saturn in North America that used direct-dial technology to connect players directly to one another as opposed to a server-based system. As with all NetLink games players dial one another directly over telephone lines and as such battle 'online' with surprisingly little lag time; and as with all NetLink games it remains as such 'online forever', outlasting all other console-based online Bomberman titles including Bomberman Online for the Saturn's successor, the SEGA Dreamcast.
The European PAL version of Saturn Bomberman included no online support of any kind, no modem for the SEGA Saturn having been released in Europe (save alleged test-market units in Finland).
Electronic Gaming Monthly gave Saturn Bomberman the 1997 Game of the Year awards for "Saturn Game of the Year" (beating Street Fighter Collection and Madden NFL 98) and "Multiplayer Game of the Year" (beating GoldenEye 007 and Mario Kart 64).[14]

Re: Got approved for AMEX gold, have backdating question
OhioCPA wrote:
I thought the policy change was that when an additional card member (ACM) gets their own account the new account is "backdated" to when the ACM became an AU on the account.
For example, I added my son to one of my accounts last year, if he gets his own card this year it will be backdated to 2011. His current card shows member since date of 1984. Under the new policy even as an ACM he would have had a card dated 2011.
There were a couple backdating policy changes. The first change was to backdate to when the ACM became a AU. The second (11-11) was to only backdate when the cardholder was an acual accountholder.

USB impact when running enCoRe III at 5V versus 3.3V | Cypress
Support & Community
USB impact when running enCoRe III at 5V versus 3.3V
EnCoRe III can run off of 5V down to 3.3V. How does the USB block handle this, and are there any differences when operating at different voltages?
EnCoRe III has its own internal 3.3V regulator to support the USB PHY when running off of supply voltages from 4.35 to 5.25. When used in this mode the RegEnable bit in the USBIO_CR1 register should be set to 1. When the chip is in sleep mode, such as for USB suspend, the 3.3V regulated output is shut down to conserve power. The normal D+ pull-up to 3.3V is therefore switched out and a suspend pull-up resistor of approximately 7K ohms to Vcc is switched in. It is also possible to conduct USB operations when running off of a regulated 3.3V supply that meets the USB specification requirements. In this case the internal 3.3V regulator is not used, and so the RegEnable bit in the USBIO_CR1 register should be set to 0. When the chip enters a low power state in this case the normal D+ pull-up resistor will still be used.

Dot's attributes
Published: Monday, April 19, 2010 at 5:04 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 19, 2010 at 5:04 p.m.
To The Editor: Several years ago, during Dot Kilpatrick's successful campaign for the presidency of the North Carolina ABC Board, her supporters adopted the slogan "Dot's Got A Lot."
A review of her many civic activities confirms the fact that she contributed a lot to the welfare of her adopted community and its citizens.
Those who knew Dot well through the years can attest to her many personal attributes. Not the least of these was her sunny disposition and friendly attitude in the face of adversity, including the untimely death of her youngest son and the suffering accompanying her delicate health.
Surely what helped sustain her was the mutual love of her family, her church and her multitude of friends.
We will cherish Dot's memory. It is doubtful that we shall see her likes again.

I have constant headaches with Windows Media Library sharing, which I'm using to share my video library (a whole lot of AVI files on my computer's hard drive) with the XBox 360. I have the whole setup working, so setup and basic configuration is not an issue.
The issue is that Windows Media Library frequently fails to notice additions and modifications to the "watched" folders. Not only that, but often after I've added something new to the library, it fails to transmit this new library information to the 360, as is demonstrated by the fact that, using that 360, I navigate to my video library and the new folders don't show up in the list.
Often the only way to get the 360 to see the changes is to exit out of "Videos" on the 360, then remove all videos from Windows Media Library, go back into videos on the 360 to confirm that nothing is shared, then re-add a few videos (but not too many) in Windows Media Library, then go back into the videos in the 360.
The whole thing is a real pain in the bum and I really wish I could just add all my videos to Windows Media Library and have it keep watch without me having to kick it, and have the 360 pick up changes without me having to constantly rebuild the library.
Any ideas?

EVS23: The times they are a changin'
IEEE Tech Talk's John Voelker's report is titled EVS-23: A Surge of Energy for Electric Cars. It is a first comment on the palpable difference being experienced at this year's Electric Vehicle Symposium (EVS23), the electric drive industry trade show.
An astounding 450 people attended Sunday's plug-in hybrid workshop. A member of congress, for the first time, spoke from the floor about promoting electric vehicles through federal legislation. Five major automakers have expensive displays. Voelker writes:
A year ago, the Chevrolet Volt was unknown……The demand for plug-in hybrids has exploded…..grumbled the City of Vancouver's Brian Beck, "I'm ready to change the building code to require electric plugs throughout parking garages, but automakers tell me I can't get their plug-in prototypes…
Still no plug-in hybrids or electric cars in showrooms, but things are looking up.
— Marc G.
3 Responses to EVS23: The times they are a changin'
I happen to be an inventor working for twelve years on a project of EV concept vehicles in many segments using good ol' lead acid cells and reach highway speeds with no sweat. It was considered technically feasible by a panel of experts of DOE's FreedomCAR and Advanced Vehicles Technologies and many engineers now working for the big three in Detroit. Result: It didn't get nowhere as most, if not all, EV projects will.
It is like rowing a small boat upstream on the Amazon (Oil) river.
Who cares about the future generations…we live our lives now…quit rowing.
Too bad.
That is all folks.
I'll pick a better planet next time.

I have a machine that I dual boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu 9.04. I have Firefox 3.5 installed on both. I'm always switching back and forth and have one bookmark in one but not the other. How can I sync the two Firefox's?
XMarks add-on does this. If you want a one-time bookmark copy you can export your bookmarks on one PC and import them on another, else for an indefinite sync you will want XMarks.
even though you already accepted this answer, another possibility is to have Ubuntu automatically mount your Windows partition upon boot and use the same bookmark file on Windows for the Firefox you have installed on Ubuntu. To achieve this, you could simply remove the bookmarks file from Ubuntu, and replace it with a symbolic link that points to the bookmarks file on the mounted Windows 7 partition. Just a thought.
Check out the Mozilla Weave extension. This is Mozilla's excellent cross-platform extension for syncing Firefox installations.
The current release will sync:
In addition, there is ongoing development to the extension to allow it to sync auto-completion data and even extensions.
Also, check out this Wikipedia page on browser sync tools: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_browser_synchronizers
FEBE does a great job as it backups all of the settings of firefox, addons included...
In the Firefox 2.x days I used Google Browser Sync for this, but that wasn't supported on Firefox 3. Since then I never used anything else, but have heard good things about Xmarks
Xmarks is actually recommended on the "Google Browser Sync is dead" page
Another option is to use the Bookmarks option on the Google toolbar, if you have it installed on both applications. Basically you can maintain your bookmarks with Google, and access them over the web (through your account's Web History) or through the toolbar drop-down menu. This effectively synchronizes across browsers and OSes.
I realize a lot of people don't like Google's long arm and are distrustful of their multitude of services, so this may not be a good option for anyone. Personally, I don't mind if Google knows that I like Shockwave's daily jigsaw, for example.

It's amusing.
Whats most amusing is your post
That is exactly what Suleiman wants. Suleiman wants that belt to be fought for which means money for him since whoever holds it or fights for it needs to pay up fees. By Mayweather having it for a year long without defending it is no good for business. I am not siding with the piece of **** Suleiman, IMO, Mayweather doesn't need a freaking belt to sell a fight (altough some *****s brag about his belt that the WBC is the most "legit"
), Mayweather can just dump it and if he wants to just fight Cotto again, Martinez, Pac or Canelo and that belt won't even be necessary.
Mayweather and Pac are on that level that they don't need the belts to sell a damn fight, the belts need them to make the most profit out of them.

Product Overview
Traditional style, modern size. The Leisure GRB6GVK gives you the look and feel of a traditional range cooker, while only taking up the space of a standard 60cm model. There are two conventional ovens, combining to give you 100 litres of cooking space – more than enough for a large household. The ovens will get hotter at the top than the bottom, which is the perfect heat for more rustic, homemade dishes like pies, casseroles and joints of meat. There are 4 burners on the hob too, giving you plenty of room for your pots and pans. Stay clean liners on the sides of the oven absorb dirt, so you won't have to scrub it yourself either.

Tuesday's letters: Compromise
Published: Tuesday, January 3, 2012 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 30, 2011 at 7:24 p.m.
To the editor: Compromise has been in the news a lot lately, including Times-News columns and letters (Oct. 15, Nov. 7 and Dec. 17).
Champions of compromise cite its role in our Declaration of Independence and Constitution. These champions also cite the refusal to compromise as a characteristic of the Hitler regime. This school of thought, often reflected in the philosophy of pragmatism, represents an extreme that seems to elevate compromise to a First Principle to which all other considerations are subordinate. An opposite extreme would be to say that compromise on anything, anytime is unacceptable. These two viewpoints are mutually exclusive.
For quite a few years, the worlds leaders compromised with Hitler. As it turned out, attempts at compromise ended and war resulted. What should Europes leaders have done? Continued to compromise? What would the world be like now if they had? Does anyone truly believe that compromise was the civilized way forward?
Is it possible that there are some areas of human endeavor where compromise is prudent and just and others where it is not? Refusing to compromise if it would mean abandoning ones core principles would seem to be where one should draw the line.
Fred Hoffstadt
Simple question
To the editor: Heres a question that has nothing to do with the goings-on either nationally or internationally. Actually, I dont think theres that much difference between the two.
Why is it impossible to buy alcohol in certain areas of Henderson County, but I can plunk down as much money as I want at one of those 777 gaming establishments that seem to pop up like toadstools?
I cant buy alcohol at my local Ingles, but I can drive about half a mile and gamble. I can buy alcohol in Laurel Park, but as yet theres no gambling. And I dont want to read anything about incorporated or unincorporated towns. If one is banned, so should the other be. Unless you dont mind driving.
Its a simple question that I ask for a simple answer to.
G.D. Savold
Edneyville PO
To the editor: I read with interest about the possible closing of the Edneyville Post Office. I was reminded that the U.S. Constitution requires the government to deliver the mail. Post offices were important to their communities early on, and they still are, as reflected in the response from Edneyville leaders.
Unfortunately, the Postal Service can no longer run on income produced for the price of a stamp. Like many relics of the pre-2008 past, the USPS wont survive in its present form, and its users cant do anything about it.
But Congress can. All that is necessary is to ensure that one of the most venerable of American institutions operates on a profit basis. That will be a real challenge, as recovery from this depression will not likely result in a return to the America we knew before it. We are going to have to decide where our priorities lie and be willing to pay for them.
The feds should not eliminate the Edneyville facility or others without first knowing what the American people want the USPS to do and how to do it.
Spence Campbell
Republican candidate for Congress
Recycling center
To the editor: Three cheers on a job well done. Congratulations on a good job on the new recycling location at the Henderson County landfill. Credit goes to the county commissioners and Cooper Construction.
They have made the recycling place a new and clean, organized place to visit. It has a nice blacktop drive to the separate bins, which are all nicely labeled. No more mud and overflowing bins, like in the past.
This is one time the county has spent this money wisely. It will be appreciated by everyone. This is a location that we can all be proud of in the future.

The Girl Who Loved Camellias: The Life and Legend of Marie Duplessisby Julie Kavanagh
View All Available Formats & Editions
This riveting biography brilliantly explores the short, intense, and passionate life of the country girl from Normandy, who at thirteen fled her brute of a father to go to Paris. Almost overnight she became one of the most admired courtesans of the 1840s—the inspiration for Alexandre Dumas fils' The Lady of the Camellias and Verdi's La Traviata. With her aristocratic ways, elegant clothes and signature camellias, Marie was always a subject of fascination at the opera and the boulevard cafés. Her death at twenty-three from tuberculosis created such an outpouring of sympathy in the press that Charles Dickens, who was in Paris at the time, was amazed. "Everything is erased in the face of an incident which is far more important," he wrote, "the romantic death of one of the glories of the demi-monde, the beautiful, the famous Marie Duplessis."
Editorial Reviews
—New York Journal of Books
"Colorful. . . . Julie Kavanagh exposes the tawdry reality behind her heroine's legend."
—The New York Times
"Julie Kavanagh ships us into 19th-century Paris and into the boudoir of Parisian courtesan Marie Duplessis."
—Vanity Fair
"An absorbing, thoughtful, endlessly fascinating portrayal of a remarkable world."
—The Sunday Times (UK)
"Kavanagh underscores what made Duplessis such an object of fascination. . . . What results is a warm portrait of the motivations and choices of an enigmatic woman who managed to both deeply embody and brazenly defy the conventions of her time."
—The Daily Beast
"In taking on Duplessis, Kavanagh pieces together the details of a glamorous and tragic life of a woman whose influence as a muse has outlived her own fame."
—The New Yorker
"Extraordinary. . . . [Kavanagh places] Marie's story within the larger setting of French gallantry in the first half of the nineteenth century, and she does so with uncommon precision, ferreting out all available information about the secondary characters and bringing them to life. Her surefooted sense of the telling detail and the vigor of her style allow Kavanagh to sustain her reader's interest."
—The New York Review of Books
"Kavanagh is the biographer Rudolf Nureyev, and the formidably detailed research that she brought to [that volume] is in evidence in her account of Marie's brief life. In her hands, bills from Marie's doctors, florist, livery yard and milliner blossom into vivid narrative life. Unlike Dumas, she doesn't romanticise her heroine; she has a bracingly sharp eye for the horrors of even a high-class courtesan's existence, and acknowledges Marie's hardheartedness, as well as her fascination and her vulnerability. . . . Kavanagh's biography of Marie sparkles with affection for a spirited waif who made good in the only way she knew how."
—The Telegraph (UK)
"Kavanagh succeeds brilliantly in coming as close to her subject as it is possible. . . . A compelling and moving account of a short, forgotten life which is far more interesting than fiction."
—The Spectator (UK)
"'It is,' said Proust, 'a work which goes straight to the heart.' He was talking about La Traviata, which was first performed in Venice in 1853 and is still performed around the world 160 years on. The plot is as unlikely as the plots of most operas and as full of mad, melodramatic twists. But its story, it is clear from this extraordinary book, isn't half as melodramatic as the life that inspired it."
—The Sunday Times (UK)
"Equipped with the treasures gleaned from persistent research and guided by empathy. . . . Kavanagh is a warm, nimble portraitist, wryly chronicling the glittering if doomed realm of the courtesan. . . . Now Duplessis is a muse once again, this time for an adept biographer who elegantly preserves her indelible true story."
—Booklist (starred review)
"Thanks to a talented author, this tragedy is a pleasure to read. Already praised as a biographer, Kavanagh intertwines the adventures of a famous courtesan with a fascinating period in Parisian history, with each scene spotlighting yet another titillating aspect of 1840s bohemia. . . . A thoroughly researched and fascinating account of Duplessis's short life and lengthy legacy."
—Publishers Weekly
"Marie Duplessis—the tragic inspiration for La Dame aux Camélias and La Traviata—crammed more drama into her short life than either of her fictionalised personas. Her true story has been crying out to be told. Now, at last, the enigmatic Duplessis has found a brilliant biographer in Kavanagh. The Girl Who Loved Camellias is not only a wonderful read: vivid and moving, but full of fascinating discoveries."
—Amanda Foreman, author of A World on Fire: Britain's Crucial Role in the American Civil War
"I was enthralled by the wholly unexpected life of Marie Duplessis, and entirely captivated by the cinematic realism of this wonderful book's evocation of her world. Julie Kavanagh plunges you right into the Parisian demi-monde and redefines what it means to be a genuine star."
—Sir Nicholas Hytner, Director of the National Theater and The Madness of King George, The History Boys, and One Man, Two Guvnors
"Hugely enjoyable—this book is for anyone with an interest in opera, celebrity, sex and money."
—Sir Richard Eyre, Director of the National Theater, 1987-1997, of La Traviata, Guys and Dolls and the film, Notes on a Scandal

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
On an early summer afternoon in 1841, the stagecoach from Paris drew up in front of the Hôtel de La Poste in Nonant, a village in Lower Normandy. Among the alighting passengers were two girls in their late teens: the tall one, pale and elegantly dressed, was Alphonsine Plessis, a fledgling courtesan; the other, plump and pink-cheeked, was her maid, Rose.
Alphonsine had spent her early childhood in Nonant, where she was born on 15 January 1824. This was the first time she had returned home since leaving for Paris three years before. In spring she had given birth to a child fathered by the viscount who was her protector and on her doctor's orders was coming to convalesce in the country. She had arranged to stay with her older sister, Delphine, who lived nearby, but the long journey had exhausted her, and she decided to rest at the hotel for a couple of days before moving on to Delphine's cottage. At around five o'clock, refreshed by a siesta, Alphonsine came downstairs and said, smiling, to the proprietress,
—Bonjour, Madame Vienne. You don't recognize me but you know me well. I'm the little Plessis girl.
—Ah, certainly, my poor child. No, I wouldn't have known you.
"La pauvre Plessis" was still a subject of conversation in Nonant and its neighboring hamlets. Tales were told of her angelic mother, who had been forced to abandon her two children to escape the murderous abuse of her husband. It was said that Marin Plessis, a man whose infamy had earned him the reputation of an evil sorcerer, had sold the thirteen-year-old Alphonsine to Gypsies, and even more disturbing were the rumors of incest. Mme Vienne had last seen Alphonsine as a wild urchin exploiting her precocious sexuality as a way of begging for food, but the young woman who had arrived that day, wearing a lace-edged bonnet that prettily framed her ingenue face, had indeed changed beyond recognition. Her burnished peasant complexion had gone, replaced by the smooth sheen of white china, and she had acquired a self-assurance and social ease that completely belied the misery and degradation of her adolescence.
Eager for news of relatives and mutual friends, Alphonsine asked Mme Vienne if she and Rose could join the family table for dinner. The son of the house, twenty-five-year-old Romain, was also there that night, and although he did not remember Alphonsine, he still had a vivid picture of her mother, Marie. It had been market day and Mme Vienne had stopped to greet Mme Plessis, whose pallor and air of sadness had conveyed even to the twelve-year-old boy that something must be very wrong. Soon after came word of Mme Plessis's flight. Romain, who wrote poetry and had spent several years in Paris studying medicine and law, was a sympathetic, sharp-witted young man, and Alphonsine warmed to him immediately. As soon as dinner was over she asked him to show her round the garden, and while he picked her a bunch of flowers, she chattered away, intriguing him with hints of piquant episodes in her Paris life.
The following day was a Sunday, and Alphonsine went out early for a walk. This is the gently undulating countryside that Degas described in his notebooks twenty years later: "Continuously going up and down green humps. . . . Exactly like England, large and small fields, surrounded entirely by hedges. Damp foot- paths, ponds/greenery and shady ground." The Merlerault region of L'Orne is pastureland whose lushness feeds into the creamy richness of the cuisine: Camembert is a regional speciality, not surprisingly, as the grass is the best in France. Le Merlerault– bred horses, such as Napoléon's stallion Acacia, were renowned for their speed and agility—the reason that the English formed their cavalry here during the Hundred Years' War. And it was while staying with a friend at a château in nearby Exmes that Degas began his series of equine paintings, inspired by the sleek beauties stabled at Le Pin National Stud outside Nonant, which is still active today. Since the time of the first Normans, the raising of horses has been an aristocratic pursuit, and for Alphonsine, ownership of a fine mare or stallion, the symbol of her Normandy childhood, was something she coveted more than anything else.
Watching her leave the hotel, Romain had presumed she was going to mass, but if this was Alphonsine's intention, she changed her mind, having come across a handsome peasant boy with nostalgic associations. As a seventeen-year-old, Marcel had been her first conquest, his seductress of no more than twelve or thirteen at the time. Intent now on impressing him with her new prosperity, Alphonsine invited Marcel to lunch at the hotel, where she proceeded to order some of the finest wines in the house. He, however, was impressed only by Rose, so giggly, frisky, and radiantly healthy that she all but eclipsed her delicate mistress. Nevertheless, he and Alphonsine parted like old friends, embracing affectionately, before she set off to spend the afternoon visiting acquaintances from her childhood.
When she returned that evening, there were half a dozen new arrivals in the dining room, a rowdy group of men, laughing, smoking, and lasciviously eyeing the two girls. Anticipating a barrage of "banal remarks and insipid compliments," Alphonsine again asked Mme Vienne if she and Rose could sit at their table, and afterward Alphonsine withdrew alone to the garden with Romain. Enlivened by the wine, she was more forthcoming now about her debut in the demimonde; her attentive companion put her completely at ease, and she surprised him by her frankness—even replying to his blunt query about her state of health. "I've told everything to your mother. I gave birth to a beautiful little boy two months ago and I've come to the country to recuperate." The only subject on which she refused to be drawn was the loathsome reputation of her father. Marin Plessis had died earlier that year in miserable circumstances, and Alphonsine begged Romain not to compound her sorrow by questioning her about him.
As they were talking, two of the travelers sitting on a nearby bench came over and tried to strike up a conversation with her. As part of the management, Romain felt he could not appear to be monopolizing a guest and so tactfully got up to go—only to be followed by Alphonsine. Taking his arm, she suggested they walk together on the Paris road, saying that she needed an excuse to get away from the tiresome men. They hadn't gone far when they came across a wedding party returning from the town of Le Merlerault—a young couple followed by a jubilant procession of parents and friends. "Now that's the kind of gaiety I like," said Alphonsine. "Look how they love each other." "They'll love each other more in a very short while," added Romain.
His suggestive tone was deliberate, intended to coax the young courtesan into revealing further confidences, but it was also an act. Romain may have been eight years older than Alphonsine, but he was an innocent when it came to women; his poems, published before he was twenty in a collection called Le berceau, are melancholy Petrarchan odes to chaste young girls, to a cruelly unattainable married woman, and to the soprano Mme Damoreau-Cinti—the juvenilia of a sentimental idealist. Alphonsine, with her paradoxical appeal—the childlike demeanor counteracted by knowing black eyes and coarse banter—was unlike anyone he had met before. Darting into a wheat field to pick her a bunch of cornflowers, Romain found himself one moment courting her like a lovesick boy, the next listening pruriently to her risqué stories of her Paris nightlife. Alphonsine was only too aware of the effect she was having on her companion. She amused herself by observing him as he struggled to overcome his attraction and teased him about his "most veiled of allusions to a project everyone is discussing"—presumably his engagement. Sulkily dropping his arm, she told him that she expected confidences in return, something she gradually coaxed out of him over the coming weeks. The bond they established in Nonant that summer was the beginning of a lifelong friendship.
Alphonsine's father, Marin Plessis, was born as the result of a quick, illicit union between a priest and a prostitute. Marin's father, Louis Descours, had grown up in a lower-bourgeois family who saw the church as the best career opportunity for their son. A simple, weak young man with no real vocation, Louis was easy prey when, in the early spring of 1789, the daughter of a neighboring farmer set her mind on seducing him. The louche ways of Louise-Renée Plessis—"as infamous for her foul tongue as for her misconduct"—had earned her the sobriquet La Guenuchetonne, meaning a debauched woman—half beggar, half prostitute. But if the illiterate, maligned Louise had derived some self-satisfaction from corrupting a member of the clergy, it was shattered by the discovery that she was pregnant. On 15 January 1790, she gave birth to a son, who was baptized on the same day in the village church of Lougé, held by the midwife who delivered him. The baby had been named Marin after his paternal grandfather, Marin Descours, but the birth certificate records his father's identity as "unknown," and only Louise and her parents attended the ceremony. As a rule in the Normandy countryside the illegitimate offspring of a bourgeois father was provided for by the paternal family, who regarded this as an obligation. It was not the case with the Descours, however, even when Louis became vicar of the same village, Lougé, where his bastard son lived in a hovel of a cottage with his mother.
As soon as Marin was ten or eleven, he was sent to work as a farmhand, joining the large number of child laborers in Normandy. By the time he reached puberty, he had developed into a tall, slim, virile youth. Emboldened by his superb looks, Marin made a play for the daughter of his employer—unwisely, as the farmer found out and ordered him off the premises. By his early twenties Marin had become a peddler roaming the countryside and selling his trinkets and utensils from door to door. Dressed in the costume of his profession, short culottes and a waistcoat, he had all the swagger and sophistry of the traditional mountebank and could woo his female customers with fantastical stories of far-flung places and the novelty of his wares. "He was of an ideal beauty," remarks one local chronicler, "but it was a beauty that contained something fatal: he had, as the Italians say, the Evil Eye." Marin's sexual magnetism had an almost hypnotic power over women, some of whom were swept away against their will, while others succumbed out of fear. Then, after more than a decade of countless fleeting encounters, he decided that the time had come to take a wife.
Marie Deshayes was plaintively beautiful and more than usually intelligent for a country girl. She and her sister, Julie, were outgoing and hardworking and, having reached their mid-twenties unmarried, were resigned to a future of spinsterhood and caring for their widowed father. Marie was then employed as a maid by the Count and Countess du Hays, who owned the nearby turreted Château de Mesnil in Saint-Germain-de-Clairefeuille. It was in this manor kitchen that she first set eyes on Marin Plessis. "As soon as she saw him she fell in love," E. du Mesnil, a local historian, wrote in a letter of 1882. Descendant Charles du Hays confirms this. "Marie Deshayes fell in love at first sight. She wanted Marin Plessis and she got him, despite the alarm and pleas of her family."
If Alphonsine inherited her promiscuous nature from her father, then her grace and natural distinction may have been the result of her mother's aristocratic blood. For more than a century her French biographers have mistakenly claimed that her maternal great-grandmother was Anne d'Argentelles, a descendant of the noble seigneurs of Mesnil, who married a servant, Etienne Deshayes. Among their six children was Louis Deshayes, wrongly identified as the grandfather of Alphonsine. In fact, there was another Louis Deshayes in the neighborhood. This Louis Deshayes was married to Françoise Leriche and farmed a small holding in Courménil, about ten kilometers north of Nonant. The younger of their two daughters was Marie Louise Michelle Deshayes, and it is she who was Alphonsine's mother.
However, according to E. du Mesnil, it was local knowledge that sometime after the marriage of his tenant farmers, the count had exercised his "droit du seigneur," leaving Françoise Deshayes pregnant. It was this, du Mesnil suggests, that explained her granddaughter's taste and manners, her passion for beautiful things and for thoroughbred horses. "Because the Count du H was a gentleman to the ends of his fingernails. His family went back to the celebrated Alou, who was one of the companions of Guillaume at the Battle of Hastings."
If the rumor is true and the countess was aware of her husband's transgression, she was exceptionally forgiving, as she loved Françoise Deshayes's younger daughter as much as her own children. Marie was brought up at the château and encouraged to remain with the du Hayses instead of helping her parents on the farm. Her role was to take care of the family linen, and the countess had plans to marry her to a good local man. But then Marin Plessis appeared. As Vienne put it, "She was seized by a furious, blind passion for someone totally the opposite of herself."
The couple were married on 1 March 1821 at the mairie in Courménil, the groom's side of the family represented by Marin's mother and two Plessis relatives, a laborer and a weaver, and the bride's by her father, aunt, and uncle. "From that moment an impossible life began for the poor woman," continues du Mesnil. "One would see her following her husband from fair to market, sleeping sometimes here, sometimes there, selling cotton scarves and little items of haberdashery." It may have been either a relative or the du Hayses who came to the rescue, helping the couple to raise enough money to open a shop selling haberdashery and basic groceries in Nonant. This was a large village of around eight hundred inhabitants, which, since the recent completion of the Rouen-Alençon grande route intersecting with that of Paris- Granville, had become an important junction. The Plessis house and shop, a simple little square building with a double façade, was situated at the crossroads. Marin now had a respectable profession, he had made a good marriage, and he was adored by his wife—the years of humiliation were over. But it was on the very day of the wedding, according to Charles du Hays, that his true character revealed itself, and Marie was forced to realize how unsound her judgment had been.

I am obsessed with JRPGs... I've grown up with ff 7-9, tactics branched out to disgae, duodecim, and persona, ragnarok. I thought I would have to wait until Soul Odyssey.
I bought this on a whim, never hear nor played of this series. I will save you the time, just buy this, if you are like me and adore JRPGs you should buy, like now!
It took a bit to get into the game, I had no idea how to play, tutorial is weak, please look online for a bit better explanation... But the character dev is fantastic. It's a very cheery type game, you will enjoy just randomly battling baddies, to synthing items, collecting, enjoying the great soundtrack. Graphics are phenomenal on the vita, really, I've played everything but here the colors just pop.
If you like any JRPGs, you just need to suck it up and buy this, it's a unique experience and will put you a bit out of your comfort zone, but rewarding and a great way to kill some time 10 hrs in with 5 days playing... … Full Review »

however. atelier totori plus is the closest one to blowing my mind to date. its graphics are stunning, attention to detail are fantastic and UI and character design are beautiful. this is however a jrpg that only jrpg fans are going to like... im afraid for all you vita owners out there still waiting for that vita experience you were promised that dont get along with staff wielding girls and collecting herbs should stay well away from this. which is a shame because it is by far the best made vita game out there yet, with glorious HD graphics that genuinly (for once) look HD... what more can i say other than if you like your rpg's don't even waste time moaning about the high cost... its worth every penny.

Jul 18, 2013This is essentially a game about cute girls doing cute things. Despite the seeming lack of an actual central storyline, the many day-to-dayThis is essentially a game about cute girls doing cute things. Despite the seeming lack of an actual central storyline, the many day-to-day scenes and adventuring build the characters surprisingly well. Things come together even better when the plot gets started only halfway through the story. However, it is the many interactions between them that make you come to care for the cast.
Things I felt were well done was the stunning art, the timeline system, the license ranks, the alchemy and the optional bosses. Unlike most JRPGs, optional bosses here do not drag on for hours- the hard work comes in on the alchemy part rather than the actual battle. The Japanese voicing is well-done, but I felt the English voicing was really lacklustre.
Critical flaws in this game would be the hideous loading times for just about anything from cutscenes to battles (I last played Persona 4, the difference is staggering) and the ill-defined triggers for character interactions. This is not a game you can hope to achieve full completion on without the use of a guide because of how some endings are just that hard to attain.
All in all, I was pretty absorbed by this game for my first few playthroughs. If not for a couple of glaring flaws that impeded my enjoyment, this would've been a perfect game.… Full Review »
