By Jed Distler
Schwann Inside
"In the restless, ever-changing world of modern opera, one seldom encounters a work whose musical, literary and dramatic components embody equal brilliance. Still more rarely does one find a work in which these components are unified into a sophisticated, grandly scaled and utterly gripping theatrical whole. The Handmaid's Tale is precisely this kind of work. Its bleakly futuristic storyline, astonishingly variegated orchestral palette and clear, vivid libretto seize your attention, provoke your sensibilities and engage rather than bait your emotions.
Above all, this is an opera whose dramatic form and musical sensibility emerge from the story and the characters' inner and outer needs, rather than a work whose style is set before the music is written. The Handmaid's Tale offers ample proof that opera remains a potent, viable and expressive medium as the 21st century finds its bearings."
By David Murray
Compact Choice
"Dacapo's alacrity with Poul Ruders' new opera. The Handmaid's Tale, has been remarkable, and was surely fuelled by the whole-heartedly enthusiastic popular and critical reception of the piece when it was premiered in Copenhagen last March. The work is already scheduled at opera houses in several other capitals. To get anything like this amount of attention, a 'contemporary' opera has to be very good or very flashy. Rugers' opera is both. As a grim 'music-drama', at least, it is hughly effective; there are striking solos and ensembles too, but so closely geared to their moments in the drama that it's doubtful whether they could prosper as isolated 'Highlight from The Handmaid's Tale' on a single CD. No; what you need, if youÝre seriously interested, is the whole opera.The recorded version here is a well-edited composite from four of the original Royal Danish opera stage performances. It has live, gripping urgency, and the sound is terrific, as it had to be to capture Ruders' apocalyptic stretches - he uses a large orchestra with an exotic range of percussion and a lot of shattering fortissimi..."

US 30-year mortgage rate at 2-year high: 4.46 pct.
WASHINGTON The average U.S. rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage surged this week to 4.46 percent, the highest in two years.
The increase from a 3.93 percent average last week was the largest one-week jump in 26 years, according to a report Thursday from mortgage buyer Freddie Mac. And it shows the Federal Reserve's hints that it might slow its bond purchases this year are already affecting consumers.
In the short run, a spike in rates could prompt more people to buy homes, giving the housing recovery an added boost. That's because would-be buyers would want to lock in the rates before they rise further.
But if rates continue to climb, eventually some buyers might feel priced out. That could slow homes sales at a crucial time.
Interest rates have jumped after Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said on June 19 that the Fed could slow its bond purchases later this year if the economy strengthens. Since Bernanke's comments, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note has risen to a two-year high. Mortgage rates tend to track the yield on the Treasury note.
Freddie Mac also said the average on the 15-year mortgage rose to 3.50 percent from 3.04 percent last week. That's the highest since August 2011.
Mortgage rates remain low by historical standards. Still, the impact on buyers' wallets in just the past two months is striking.
A buyer who locked in a 3.35 percent rate in early May on a $200,000 mortgage will pay $881 a month, according to Bankrate.com. Another buyer who gets a 4.46 percent rate this week on a mortgage of the same amount will pay $1,008 a month.
The difference: $127 more a month, or $45,720 over the lifetime of the loan. The figures don't include taxes, insurance or initial down payments.
Anthony Geraci, a Cleveland real estate broker-owner, is already seeing more sales activity in his market because of the increase in rates.
"People are getting off the fence a little bit more or choosing to buy now instead of choosing to buy three months from now," said Geraci, whose brokerage has 270 agents.
The rise in rates comes at a critical time in the housing recovery. Low mortgage rates have helped fuel home sales over the past year. In May, completed sales of previously occupied homes surpassed the 5 million mark for the first time in 3 1/2 years.
And the number of people who signed contracts to buy homes leaped last month to the highest level since Dec. 2006, the National Association of Realtors said in a separate report Thursday. That suggests sales will rise even further in the coming months because there is generally a one- to two-month lag between a signed contract and a completed sale.
Greater demand, along with the tight supply of homes for sale, has driven up home prices. It's also fueled more construction, which creates jobs and contributes to economic growth.
Geraci says a slight rate increase won't put off buyers immediately because there just aren't enough available homes for sale.

My first thought is 'The Eyes' NOT a particular country.
I am sure it depends on your personal experience with Asians. I tend not to use the term Asians very much because it is too broad a term. But having been in China, Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and several other countries in East Asia, South Asia and Southeast Asia, the differences between the nationalities are quite apparent. I think this is the same as talking about Latinos or Hispanics. People from Mexico are different from people from Puerto Rico or the Dominican Republic or one of many other South American or Spanish-speaking countries.
I myself is an Asian but the first thing I really think of is Chinese. Maybe its because they have a big population and every country seems to have a Chinese citizen.
i think of beautiful women
I don't think any specific country, although China would be a good guess considering it is absolutely gigantic. If I can see the person, I might think a country ba<x>sed on the way they look though.
Well can't compete with highest population!!!
There are over two billion people in the world who could be called Asian. I don't think of any one type when I hear the term.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Tablet Plus
Apostrophe Hôtel
3 rue de Chevreuse, Paris, France
Neighborhood: 6th Arr. (St-Germain/Luxembourg)
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
These days design hotels are so widespread as to be almost commonplace, and art hotels are no longer the novelty they once were. So what's next? One attempt at an answer comes in the form of the Apostrophe Hotel, which styles itself the world's first "poem hotel" — an idea that's so perfectly Parisian it's difficult to imagine it existing anywhere else.
Between the two of them, the architect Vincent Bastié and the interior designer Sandrine Alouf are responsible for such contemporary Parisian classics as the Murano, the Five, and the Five's little sister, the One. Here, together with the painter Catherine Feff, they've created an experience that makes the typical boutique hotel look positively dowdy by comparison. Text and other graphic elements line the walls, rooms pursue themes and motifs to their logical ends, and even the basics, the fixtures and furnishings, step away from the minimalist design-boutique norm.
In truth it's simply a very stylish high-design boutique hotel, which sets itself apart by choosing exuberance where others would opt for restraint. Services, in traditional boutique style, are rather minimal, fitting for a sixteen-room hotel — the surrounding area of St.-Germain-des-Prés offers everything a guest could possibly need.
- Complimentary upgrade upon hotel check-in, based upon availability
- One complimentary glass of champagne or one cocktail, per guest, upon arrival
- Guaranteed 11am check-in

What I liked:
I liked that it has been completely renovated to a very high standard. Also the staff was rather friendly.
What the hotel could do better:
It was TINY!! The reception area was almost of the same size as my room which was really compact. The reception gives a wrong impression from the start although the rooms are of a good quality (minus the size)..
The breakfast area was almost at the receptionist's desk.
To cut a long story short - size is really a minus and I wouldn't pay more than 130-140 Euros per night.

What I liked:
Loved the location. The staff was so friendly and helpful. We felt like we were guests at their home. Unique rooms with an open air bath tub. Great if your with a loved one or flying solo, but not if you're with a friend. Loved the design and proximity to the Metro, great cafes, and restaurants.
What the hotel could do better:
Rooms were a good size, but not the most spacious.

'Bombshell' Says Jesse 'Avoided' Real Dirt in Teary Confessional
"I do think things were avoided ... Like details of our affair. He seemed to gloss over everything and it was very generic," McGee tells In Touch about Jesse's interview.
In the days following the 'Bombshell' story breaking, details of their affair were plentiful. Everything from when, where and how they had sex were in the headlines, shooting McGee from obscurity to infamy overnight. It's her being dragged into this scandal that McGee thought deserved a mention from James, but that never came.
"What about the other people he hurt along the way? Even though I don't expect to get an apology, at the very least, I was hoping for some sort of acknowledgment regarding the pain and embarrassment he caused myself and others," McGee says.
And what of the claims by James that he "wanted to get caught" in some strange sense?
"He took every precaution NOT to get caught. I was only allowed to come up during after hours at the shop. We could never go get food -- even at his own restaurant," McGee says of their time together.
Oddly enough, despite all of the heartbreak and trauma James has caused Bullock, McGee thinks that the two will likely reunite.
"I have my suspicions that they will be still together but out of the public eye," Michelle tells In Touch.

She wanted an apology or some sort of recognition from him?? Is she crazy?? She's playing the victim here, when she knew that he was a married man.

Bombshell has got her 15 minutes of fame and wrecked a marrige now she should s.t.f.u. and crawl back in her hole. Don't get me wrong Jesse F.U. and lost the best thing that probably will ever happen to him. He needs his head examined. to have the most beautiful woman in hollywood and then to run around on her makes him the stupidest man alive.

She is a bigger moron than Jesse (and that is really difficult) If she didn't know he was married, why did she only meet him in his office "after closing" and why couldn't they go out in public? What kind of a skank would agree to such an arrangeement? He can't be that good!

That woman needs to fade away fast. Don't give her any more attention. Apology to her? Crazy weird.

Dear Ms. McGee-
The only people who owe you an apology are your parents, for they should be ashamed. Now, please go bury your head in the sand for a very long time. I only wish I could say this to your face!

How could she be "dragged into the scandal" when she's the one who sold the story to the tabloids in the first place?
- Thursday 27 MayBy Ernestine
I don't feel Jesse owes this girl who slept with him and ruined his marriage if anything she needs to keep her tale off cameras she only wants publicity and I don't think that woman deserves it , she don;t know how she messed up someones home now I blame her but she is not the only person to blame it takes 2 but he is trying to be honest and get his exwife back that to me should be a PRIVATE matter
good luck

As soon as Disney announced a seventh 'Star Wars' film on October 30th 2012 it quickly became apparent that escaping news about the sci-fi juggernaut's return would become impossible.
Interest in the franchise is obviously enormous, so understandably news outlets began to clamour for any scrap of information about 'Episode VII'.
[What was it like to audition for 'Star Wars VII'?]
As sure as night follows day, nonsense flooded the internet in an attempt to fill those gaps between the official announcements that have been few and far between. So here are some of more ridiculous 'Star Wars: Episode VII' stories from 2013…
Carrie Fisher confirmed as Princess Leia… by James Blunt
If you missed this story then the headline pretty much says it all. It's the standard "Friend of X says X is in Y" story but the friend in question is singer-songwriter James bloody Blunt.
[Carrie Fisher's ideas for 'Star Wars VII']
Of course it's been known for a while that Carrie Fisher will return to the series

The End
Finishing the Torah cycle, like finishing a scary children's book, provides a much-needed sense of accomplishment
It's a joyous time of year, when we prepare to finish the Torah reading cycle. But it's not so joyous in my house.
We are all woefully sleep deprived, trudging around with bruiselike circles under our eyes, looking like Sicilian widows in a Fellini movie. This is because Josie is not sleeping. And when Josie isn't sleeping, nobody is sleeping.
What does this have to do with Simchat Torah? Bear with me.
Josie has been alive for almost nine years, and in that time she's had several protracted battles with nighttime anxiety. When she was 4 years old, she was terrified of music in a minor key—she fought sleep for days after I stupidly played the CD of Peter and the Wolf for her. It might as well have been the theme from The Exorcist. When she was 6, a wild animal attack in the movie Beauty and the Beast terrified her so much she barely slept. Each time she experienced these fears, she found the act of closing her eyes nearly impossible. There were rivers of tears. No amount of threats, punishments, or bribery helped.
And now Josie is afraid of an image in the Underland Chronicles, a series of books about a boy named Gregor who falls through a grate in a Manhattan laundry room into a subterranean world beneath our own. She adored the first two books and zipped through them. Sure, I'd been warned that the books got darker as the series progressed, but so does Harry Potter, and that wasn't a problem for her. How was I supposed to know that the third book would scare her so badly?
At first, Josie wouldn't even tell me what frightened her so much. She'd been finished with the book for a week when her sleep problems started. Why the delayed reaction? She wouldn't tell me. Finally, in bright daylight, with both of us blinking like moles from exhaustion, she told me she'd fixated on an image in the third book in the series, an image of characters suffering from a plague. She couldn't stop thinking about grapefruit-sized, engorged purple tumors. Charmant! It didn't bother her at first, but then her jittery mind grabbed onto the visual and clung to it.
And this brings me to Simchat Torah. Right now, just as we're concluding our Torah cycle, I'm debating whether to let Josie conclude this literary series. All of us—me, Josie, the Jewish people—are focused on finishing the books we're reading. She desperately wants to finish reading the series. She insists that she knows the series will only get darker—like the author's Hunger Games trilogy for older readers, it's about the horrors of war. As an added bonus, the Gregor series has musings about biological weaponry and genocide. Josie says that it's just one single image that haunts her, and that she can handle whatever comes next. Do I let her finish?
Here's the thing: Finishing something is powerful. On Simchat Torah, we celebrate having made our way through the complex, troubling, sometimes thrilling and sometimes boring, always open-to-interpretation books of Moses. And that frees us to start the whole thing over again, with more insight than we had a year ago. Or so we hope.
It's not accidental that Simchat Torah is a kid-friendly holiday. From a pre-bar-or-bat-mitzvah point-of-view, it's awesome: You get to stay up late, dance in shul, get your own special aliyah (called kol ha-ne'arim, "all the youths") in which you get to accompany a hotshot in the congregation onto the bima and stand under a canopy of protection made of tallitot, adults' prayer shawls. Everyone blesses the kids, using the blessing Jacob used on his children, and voilà, the circle of history and myth and storytelling and prayer is unbroken. We encourage children to keep going—in their learning, in their faith, in their connection to the Jewish people—and we let them feel grown-up by celebrating with us, in the main sanctuary, not shunted into a children's service with babyish little plush Torahs. This is the real deal.
Our people know from stories. We know how much power they have. We know how gratifying it is to finish a story we've struggled with. The term "closure" is woefully overused, but there's a kind of triumph and satisfaction in completion. We've made it through the exciting parts, the boring parts, the upsetting parts. And, thus fulfilled, we get to start over. There's always something new to learn. Josie, an inveterate re-reader, intuitively knows this.
But when I think about it, I wonder what message this holiday sends to me as a mother struggling with a specific parenting issue. Yes, Simchat Torah allows kids to feel older and to feel a sense of mastery. On the other hand, though, religious education generally provides the learning kids can handle, developmentally speaking, at whatever age they are. Non-Orthodox kids like mine tend to experience Torah almost exclusively through Genesis, the kid-friendliest book. We focus on its stories—timeless, character-driven, fantastic—in both senses of the word: There's no way the Garden of Eden or Jacob wrestling the angel is any less fantastic than an underground city full of talking bats and giant cockroaches.
Should the fact that kids don't generally read the entire Torah tell me that it's wiser to hold back in Josie's secular reading as well? Do I wait to let her finish the series until I'm sure she can manage her fears? Or does this mean instead that I should let her finish, as she wishes? Aren't the stories in Genesis often pretty disturbing and frightening? Should I allow her to revel in the power of narrative, the uncertainty and suspense of good storytelling, and the sense of completion we all get from conquering a challenge?
Last night Josie slept, after four days of quaking and crying. What changed? "I told myself a bedtime story," she said. "I take the picture that frightens me and I put it in a happy story and I make it end, and that chases away the bad dreams." See? Stories, and endings, have power.
On Simchat Torah, we keep repeating hoshiah na ("save us"), as we dance in circles around the sanctuary. We know we need saving. We know our existence is scary and uncertain. We know we have human failings. The holiday is an acknowledgment of all these facts as well as a celebration. We finish; we start over. And hey, that's life. You can't have a new beginning without an ending.

Could Anne Hathaway be pushing for a sequel to The Devil Wears Prada?!
In a recent interview on the Graham Norton Show, Anne said that she would love to partake in such a project with Meryl Streep again. The original film was released in 2006.
She explains, "When I met her she gave me a huge hug, and I'm like, 'Oh my god, we are going to have the best time on this movie,' and then she's like, 'Ah sweetie, that's the last time I'm nice to you.'"
"She then went into her trailer and came out the ice queen and that was really the last I saw of 'Meryl' for months, until we promoted the film," she remembered.
She told Graham, "Wouldn't that be fun? I'd love to do that, but I don't know if there is any plan for it."
She's currently promoting her forthcoming film Interstellar.
Would you love to see a sequel to The Devil Wears Prada?

I'm a super fan of underrated sultry hottie Francia Raisa. She's been shedding her teen TV girl image of late for more grown up motif photo ops, which is more than past time considering she's a solid 20-something with a super solid female form.
In this unique silhouette in black and white from Isabelle Ratane, Francia starts to use her lady curves in sultry and provocative fashion, even if mildly obscured by the medium. This is a big step forward. About the same size step I'd have been tempted to make forward had I been at this photoshoot. Francia really has so much more goodness to give. This feels like an appetizer for something outstanding to come. Francia, you're going to be hot body genius. I can't wait. Enjoy.

Edwin was a famous tragedian who found himself enmeshed in all sorts of personal melodrama. Heir to the talents of his father, Junius Brutus Booth, he developed a more casual and conversational style of acting. Described by an 1860s critic as "pale, thin, intellectual, with long black hair and dark eyes," Edwin excelled in roles such as Brutus, Iago, Richard III, and especially Hamlet. Devastated by his brother's treason, he briefly retired, but returned to play the Dane with renewed melancholy. Other misfortunesthe death of an infant son, the insanity of his second wifewere thought to deepen and intensify his performances.
"The theater is a box," announces Edwin (Todd Cerveris) as he arrives onstage. And this production thinks inside it. Minimally lit and barely costumed, setless save for two desks (manned by actor-techies Josh Mann and Lila Donnolo) and several monitors, the play resists illusionism. Live camera feeds and back-wall projections, and seated interruptions by Mann and Donnolo, prevent the audience from ever succumbing to narrative or emotional involvement. The script flits from episode to episode, resolving in a surreal sequence in which Edwin enacts his famous Hamlet for a documentary crew.
Stocky, with thinning hair, Cerveris doesn't look much like Edwin, nor does he project the actor's famed "quietude," but he does give a sober and thoughtful performance. Cerveris's own brother, Michael (coincidentally, the star of the Assassins revival), appears on-screen as John Wilkes. Red-lit and bald, he makes unparseable pronouncements in lowering tones. "The ravenous eye burns through flesh straight through carcass" or "our voices splinter the silicon dream," for example. It is a wonder that while Michael wears impressive mustaches, he fails to twirl them.
The collaborators should be lauded for their attempt not to produce a straight bio-play, yet the biographic snippets, the Shakespeare quotes, and the John Wilkes interludes add up to less than they ought to. When the three-camera Hamlet ceased, the audience seemed relieved that the rest was silence.

Did Bibi win the midterms?
- By James TraubJames Traub is a fellow of the Center on International Cooperation. "Terms of Engagement," his column for ForeignPolicy.com, runs weekly. Follow his Twitter feed at @JamesTraub1 or his presidential alter ego at jqaspeaks.tumblr.com.
As a general rule, American politicians do not rally to the side of foreign leaders when those leaders directly confront the president of the United States. I don't, for example, recall liberal Democrats cheering on French President Jacques Chirac when he defied President George W. Bush on Iraq, even though they thought he was right. Siding with France would have seemed unpatriotic — and, of course, stupid. The American people, and thus their political leaders, will instinctively line up behind the president in the face of a direct challenge from abroad. Unless the country in question is Israel.
Witness the events of recent days: Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's prime minister, seems to have decided that it's open season on Barack Obama. In his speech this week in New Orleans before the general assembly of the Jewish Federations of North America, Netanyahu not only repeated his longstanding view that Iran will curb its nuclear program only in the face of a credible threat of military action, but added — gratuitously, and with questionable accuracy — that the regime had stopped trying to build a bomb only in 2003, when it feared an attack by President-You-Know-Who.

Iranian Diplomat Publicly Mentions 'Israel'Colum Lynch
Colum Lynch is Foreign Policy's award-winning U.N.-based senior diplomatic reporter. Lynch previously wrote Foreign Policy's Turtle Bay blog, for which he was awarded the 2011 National Magazine Award for best reporting in digital media. He is also a recipient of the 2013 Elizabeth Neuffer Memorial Silver Prize for his coverage of the United Nations.
Before moving to Foreign Policy, Lynch reported on diplomacy and national security for the Washington Post for more than a decade. As the Washington Post's United Nations reporter, Lynch had been involved in the paper's diplomatic coverage of crises in Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Sudan, and Somalia, as well as the nuclear standoffs with Iran and North Korea. He also played a key part in the Post's diplomatic reporting on the Iraq war, the International Criminal Court, the spread of weapons of mass destruction, and U.S. counterterrorism strategy. Lynch's enterprise reporting has explored the underside of international diplomacy. His investigations have uncovered a U.S. spying operation in Iraq, Dick Cheney's former company's financial links to Saddam Hussein, and documented numerous sexual misconduct and corruption scandals.
Lynch has appeared frequently on the Lehrer News Hour, MSNBC, NPR radio, and the BBC. He has also moderated public discussions on foreign policy, including interviews with Susan E. Rice, the U.S. National Security Advisor, Gerard Araud, France's U.N. ambassador, and other senior diplomatic leaders.
Born in Los Angeles, California, Lynch received a bachelor's degree from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1985 and a master's degree from Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism in 1987. He previously worked for the Boston Globe.| The Cable |

Jamie Drastik ft. Pitbull & Havana Brown - Chasing Shadows
Artist: Jamie Drastik
Featuring: Pitbull, DJ Havana Brown
Producer: Matty C Beats
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 2.9 ( 9 votes )
Ladies beware: pursuing a long-term relationship with Jamie Drastik is about as futile as Chasing Shadows. As the upstate New York repper admits on his latest promo cut, he's been stung too many times to risk getting too close to any one woman. Here, Matty C Beats' guitar-laced four-on-the-floor boardwork backs the artist as he weighs his desire for intimacy against his fear of getting in too deep. Mr. 305 boss Pitbull can clearly relate to his protégé's plight; in his middle 16, the club-hop heavyweight ruefully admits to playing with the occasional shawty's heart. We Run the Night singer/songwriter Havana Brown steps into the shoes of one of Drastik's female admirers on the record's hook. Shadows isn't part of a larger project, but we'll keep you posted on Jamie's plans in the weeks and months ahead.

Research on bacteria could lead to paradigm shift in medicine
By Current State
There's been a thrust in research over the last several years concerning the bacteria that live on and inside the human body. The early findings have been astounding and seem to point to a paradigm shift in medicine.
The research could unveil new methods to treat all sorts of common diseases, including diabetes, asthma and even obesity. MSU microbiologist Robert Britton explains the enormous potential behind research into what's called the human microbiome.

I'm here. Not much time to do anything but try and keep up. Baby is getting bigger and bigger (24 wks today). So things are going fine. My oldest just turned 18 and my youngest will be 4 tomorrow! I can't believe they are growing up so fast.
But life moves on, whether or not we want it to. So we must jump right in there and keep up!
I've still got your baby clothes Saying that, I'm reconsidering my assumption that 4 is it- I couldn't sell my newborn nappy wraps yesterday at the nearly-new sale, and it would be so nice to put a tiny little person in them....

On a lighter note, I have enough kids (between my kids and my homeschooled mother's helper) to count as a field trip group. Our local children's museum was offering free admission to homeschoolers afternoons this month. I was going to have to pay just for myself, not the kids. After I listed off all the kids, the lady told me I could get in free as a chaperone for "all those kids."

Watch the Series
Foyle'd Again
A cop show for grownups
Foyle's War has returned to PBS in the Sunday night "Masterpiece Mystery" slot. This is welcome news for fans of intelligent drama.
For the uninitiated, Foyle is Detective Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle of the Hastings, England constabulary. He's played by Michael Kitchen, now 61, a well-respected actor before Foyle, who reaches the peak of his considerable powers in these finely-crafted stories of Britain in its fight for survival between 1940 and 1945.
While Britain and the allies fight Nazism abroad (and at home), Foyle, a World War I veteran, fights crime in Hastings. But it's a different Hastings, a different Britain. The war, almost a character in the series, involves everyone, transforms their lives, and is never far from anyone's thoughts.
The juxtaposing of the big-picture of the war of all wars against the small picture of crime in Hastings, and the interesting way the two intersect and force unique moral questions and challenges on Foyle and his team, makes Foyle's War far more than just another cop show, more than just a period piece.
In 22 episodes, Foyle, with the help of the series' other two central characters, Sgt. Paul Milner (Anthony Howell) and Foyle's driver, Samantha "Sam" Stewart (Honeysuckle Weeks -- and I'm not making that name up), must, over and above rationing and bombing raids, deal with thievery, profiteers, traitors, black marketers, and of course, the staple of all crime shows, murder. Various of these villains, some of them highly placed, attempt to use the war effort and their own importance to it as an excuse for their common criminality. Foyle, with an admirable moral compass, will have none of this, even when his superiors put pressure on him to go along and get along.
The reserved Foyle, a fine example of England's long-lost stiff upper lip, is no Javert. He has perspective. With him, justice and tolerance are two sides of the same coin. But he's intelligent, observant, and relentless in his own way. If I were a bad guy I would not want DCS Foyle on my trail.
Foyle also does not have the soul or the testosterone deficiency of a bureaucrat. I would not want to be a high-ranking government official with a dodgy agenda who tries to bully Foyle into playing a part in his scam. In most episodes there's the scene where Foyle economically eviscerates a high-ranking, establishment stooge without raising his voice. These scenes alone are worth the price of admission.
Compared to so many overwrought American cop shows, Foyle's War is quiet, intelligent, and serious. The series is not edgy. (Edgy gives me a rash.) There's no quick-cut or artsy cinematography, no car chases ending in flames, no gruesome corpses lingered over in close-up, no loud rock sound track (the theme music is a haunting clarinet melody), and no CSI gimmickry in the low-tech England of the forties. No my-gun-is-bigger-than-yours swaggering. In fact, Foyle and his colleagues don't even pack. But they get the bad guys anyway. On Foyle's team, Andy Sipowicz (to borrow a line from Raymond Chandler) would stick out like a tarantula on an angel food cake pan.
The good news for conservatives is that Foyle's portrays an England where traditional values, patriotism, personal responsibility, and respect for the law are still the norm, even reinforced by the exigencies of war. Multiculturalism, shame in all things British, the nanny-state, bands of marauding yobs, and crime rates through the roof are decades off. The heroic efforts and sacrifices Brits made in the war are always respected and honored, though the war itself is never glorified. The me-generation hasn't been born yet. (Where's birth control information when we need it?)
Other strengths of the series are its historical accuracy, fine acting by all hands, and riveting scripts. It's also beautifully filmed. Series creator and writer Anthony Horowitz takes no poetic license with the events of World War II, and uses many of them to base his episodes around.
Many period pieces get the costumes, the vehicles, the appliances, and many of the mannerisms right, but miss the period sensibility altogether, usually in favor of contemporary concerns and ways. Foyle's War gets the physical stuff right, at great expense by the way, which partly accounts for the show's hiatus from 2007 to last Sunday. But it also nails the mood and manners of 1940s England.
The central characters of Foyle's War -- Foyle, Milner, and Stewart -- are complex and sympathetic. Milner, invalided out of the armed forces because of a injury sustained at Trondheim, must deal with losing a wife who can't deal with life with an amputee. Sam, the loyal, enthusiastic, and sometimes head-strong tom-boy of a driver, explores the less sappy dimensions of the adjective adorable. (After the series aired, Weeks got fan mail from 80-something vets who had fallen in love with Sam.)
But the center of the series is Foyle. Through this character, Kitchen demonstrates what conservatives have known all along, that stoic doesn't have to mean stick-in-the mud. Though he's a man of few words (Horowitz said Kitchen was the only actor he's worked with who asked for fewer lines), he's clearly a man with heart. The widower Foyle, very much alone, clearly misses his wife, worries about his son Andrew the Spitfire pilot, and comes to develop a fatherly love for Sam without wearing any of this on his sleeve, as is thought to be required nowadays.
A note on sex: there is no attempt in Foyle's to suggest that sex doesn't exist, and there's an understated romance between Sam and Andrew. But as the stories take place in a time when sex was considered a private business for behind closed doors, it's not in the forefront. There's no heavy breathing, little in fact that you would be concerned for your sheltered Aunt Eunice to see.
The Foyle's War episodes are self-contained enough to be watched alone. But the maximum pleasure would be from watching them in order from the beginning. With this approach, in addition to the fine stories and acting, viewers will get to see the relationships between Foyle and Milner and Stewart develop. And see the war as it proceeded through the eyes of the people of Hastings.
There are plenty of places where the series is available. Many libraries carry it, and there's always Netflix and the like. Go ahead, treat yourself. You've been good lately, right? And there just aren't that many opportunities to see excellent drama based on a conservative world treated respectfully.

A GROUP of second-hand car dealers have appeared before the LTA board for alleged unscrupulous deal with customers.
And if they're found to have breached road rules, they may lose their operating licence or have it suspended.
LTA chief executive officer Naisa Tuinaceva confirmed they were awaiting the board's decision.
He said the car dealers were called after the LTA received complaints from customers, the Consumer Council of Fiji and the Fiji Commerce Commission.
Mr Tuinaceva said it was alleged some car dealers replaced new car parts with old parts before they're sold.
He alleged some dealers have tampered with the mileage by reducing it so the they could increase the car price.
"We have carried out our own investigation and discovered that some of these vehicles have been running for 10 years on the road in Japan but are recording low mileages, which frankly is unbelievable and suggests that the mileage has been tampered with," Mr Tuinaceva said.
"The LTA will not tolerate such unscrupulous and unethical practices and will impose strict measures to deter such offending."
Another allegation is that these second-hand cars are stripped off the parts they arrive in and fitted with used parts.
"Just months after purchasing the car, the owner starts experiencing vehicle-related problems and has to start footing repair costs," Mr Tuinaceva said.
"It is unacceptable that soon after purchasing a new car, the owner has to take it back for repairs. So for some, instead of an enjoyable experience of owning a new vehicle, it becomes a nightmare of repairs."
Mr Tuinaceva said some car dealers had allegedly carried out such illegal deals so they could continue to make money.

Ahead of the chief ministers' meeting with Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram in Kolkata on February 9, Jharkhand Chief Minister Shibu Soren on Wednesday renewed his appeal to Maoists to shun violence and hold talks.
"Give up violence and come forward for talks," Mr. Soren said at a function to announce Rs 15 crore welfare projects here. The media could help in bringing Maoists to the negotiating table, he said.
Last week, Maoists had issued a press release setting conditions, including lifting of the ban on it and release of jailed leaders, before a dialogue with the state government.
The chief minister also said the state supported the Centre's initiatives against Maoists.

Re: Who is the new IP dealer on the Chesapeake?
Gratitude Yachting Center is indeed shutting down. I spoke with GYC President Ed Kurowski earlier today. It's very sad that a tremendous yacht broker on Chesapeake Bay is shutting down. They simply weren't selling enough boats. Ed and the team are finding homes elsewhere to continue to provide the service they have done for so many years.
Ed and his team have a great relationship with IP. If you are interested in an IP and can't reach Ed contact me and I'll connect you with someone on their team. I don't get anything from this -- just learned to love these folks in the last eight years.

Ninth Judicial District Judge Tom Yeager of Rapides Parish has been appointed by the Louisiana Supreme Court to hear a request from news media to open juvenile court proceedings for Mychal Bell in the "Jena Six" case.
The appointment came after 28th Judicial District Judge J.P. Mauffray of LaSalle Parish disqualified himself from the hearing because he is named as a defendant.
The petition to open the proceedings was filed by The Town Talk, The Associated Press and more than two dozen newspapers, television networks and network affiliates.
Yeager will have to set the trial date, but it could still happen as previously scheduled on Friday.
The news organizations are seeking permission to attend new hearings in Bell's case, to review transcripts of previous hearings and other court records, and to lift a gag order against participants in the case.
Bell, 17, originally was charged with attempted murder for his alleged role in a December 2006 attack on Justin Barker at Jena High School. That charge was reduced before a jury convicted him in June of aggravated second-degree battery. Mauffray presided over the trial.
The charges against Bell and five others -- the so-called "Jena Six" -- sparked a huge civil-rights demonstration in Jena on Sept. 20. About 20,000 people attended, including the Revs. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.
Critics accused LaSalle Parish District Attorney Reed Walters of treating blacks more harshly than whites, because his office didn't file charges against three white teens accused of hanging nooses in a tree at the high school a few months before the attack on Barker.
In late September, a state appeals court vacated Bell's convictions and ruled that he shouldn't have been tried as an adult. Bell is due in juvenile court early next month -- also before Mauffray -- and has a tentative trial date of Dec. 6.
In a one-page ruling, Mauffray indicated he recused himself because he was named as a defendant in the news media's litigation. Mauffray is the only judge assigned to the LaSalle Parish court where Bell's case is being heard.
Dan Zimmerman, an attorney for the news organizations, said the judge would have been in a "difficult position" if he had to review his own decision.
Criminal cases involving juveniles in Louisiana are usually sealed, but lawyers for the news organizations argue that aggravated second-degree battery is one of the violent offenses that allows a juvenile court case to be opened to the public.
Five other students were charged with the attack on Barker, who was knocked unconscious. The Jena Six members are accused of kicking and stomping on Barker while he was unconscious.
Charges against three other teens -- Robert Bailey Jr., 18; Carwin Jones, 19; and Theo Shaw, 18 -- also have been reduced from attempted murder to aggravated second-degree battery. Bryant Purvis, 18, is scheduled for arraignment on Nov. 7, and a sixth suspect, Jesse Ray Beard, was charged as a juvenile.
