About the Book
"Whatever you are currently reading, I promise you it is not nearly as intelligent, witty, compelling, or entertaining as The Fifth Servant….Wishnia makes history come alive."
— David Liss, author of The Devil's Company <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
A brilliantly imagined, beautifully written combination of scrupulously researched historical novel and riveting suspense thriller, Kenneth Wishnia's The Fifth Servant carries readers back to 16th century Prague in the shadow of the Papal Inquisition—and introduces a uniquely unforgettable protagonist, a young Talmudic scholar who has three days to solve a heinous murder before official reprisals decimate the city's Jewish community. A richly atmospheric tale of religion, mystery, and intrigue, The Fifth Servant recreates life in the era when Emperor Rudolph II occupied the throne—a time of uncertainty and fear viewed through the eyes of an intrepid rabbinical student on a quest for truth and justice.
Whoever saves a single life saves the entire world . . .
In 1592, as the Catholic Church and the Protestants battle for control of the soul of Europe, Prague is a relatively safe harbor in the religious storm. Ruled by Emperor Rudolph II, the city is a refuge for Jews who live within the gated walls of its ghetto. But their lives are jeopardized when a young Christian girl is found with her throat slashed in a Jewish shop on the eve of Passover. Charged with blood libel, the shopkeeper and his family are arrested. All that stands in the way of a rabid Christian mob is a clever Talmudic scholar, newly arrived from Poland, named Benyamin Ben-Akiva. Pleading the shopkeeper's innocence to the city's sheriff, Benyamin is given three days to bring the true killer to justice.
But the search will not be easy. Hampered by rabbinic law, and with no allies or connections, Benyamin has only his wits, knowledge, and faith to guide him on his quest—a trail that weaves from the city's teeming streets to the quiet of a shul, from the forbidden back rooms of a ghetto brothel to the emperor's lavish palace.
The Talmud says many things in life depend on mazl, luck. Fortunately, Benyamin is blessed, for an unlikely group of heroes will risk their own lives to help him discover the truth: Anya, a Christian butcher's daughter; the renowned reformist rabbi Judah Loew; a wise herbal healer known as Kassandra the Bohemian; and even the emperor himself.
Who would most profit from the girl's murder—and from having the entire ghetto sealed off? Is the killer a Christian indebted to the girl's apothecary father? Or a messianic Jew bent on the destruction of his people to precipitate the Messiah's coming? The desperate search for answers is complicated by the arrival of a new Holy Inquisitor determined to root out witchcraft and heresy, and reclaim the fractious Bohemian territory for Rome. With time running out, Benyamin must dare the impossible—and commit the unthinkable—to save the Jews of Prague . . . and his own life.
Infused with history and spiritual insight, rich in atmosphere and color, The Fifth Servant vividly re-creates sixteenth-century Prague—a bustling city where superstition, ignorance, and hatred clash with curiosity, knowledge, and tolerance; a world in which innocent lives are swept away by political and religious struggles, and righteous men and women sacrifice everything in the name of justice and truth.

Highly recommended for mystery lovers and fans of historical fiction. " — Library Journal on THE FIFTH SERVANT

A brilliantly imagined, beautifully written combination of scrupulously researched historical novel and riveting suspense thriller [with] a uniquely unforgettable protagonist. A richly atmospheric tale of religion, mystery, and intrigue." — I Love a Mystery
"In another's hands, the resulting novel might end up grim and pedantic, but Wishnia manages to turn the story into something Dickensian in its comic turns, richly drawn cast of characters, and plot twists." — Historical Novels Review on THE FIFTH SERVANT
"a compelling mystery" — Albuquerque Journal on THE FIFTH SERVANT
"The characters are distinct and thoughtfully created. The mystery and how it is unraveled make a compelling story." — Contra Costa Times on THE FIFTH SERVANT

Late Middle English (in the general sense 'wheeled vehicle'): from Old Northern French carre, based on Latin carrum, carrus, of Celtic origin.
The earliest recorded uses of car, dating probably from the 14th century, referred to wheeled vehicles such as carts or wagons. The word came into English from Old French carre, based on Latin carrus 'two-wheeled vehicle', the source of words such as career, cargo (mid 17th century), carriage (Late Middle English), carry (Late Middle English), charge (Middle English), and chariot (Late Middle English). From the 16th to the 19th centuries car was mainly used in poetic or literary contexts to suggest a sense of splendour and solemnity. Alfred Lord Tennyson (1809–1892) used it to describe the funeral carriage bearing the body of the Duke of Wellington (1769–1852) at his state funeral: 'And a reverent people behold / The towering car, the sable steeds' ('Ode on the Death of the Duke of Wellington', 1852). The first self-propelled road vehicle was a steam-driven carriage designed and built in France in 1769, but such vehicles were not called cars until the 1890s.

Jane's Carousel
06-Dec-2012 Jean Bennett, News Flash Reporter
This was just posted on Jane's Carousel website.
I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for your notes and concern for Jane's Carousel.
It was erroneously reported in the news that the Carousel was beyond repair. Miraculously, the 90 year old Carousel and the Award-winning Pavilion suffered no cosmetic or structural damage. We are fortunately and officially "Sandy Survivors!"
We were able to re-open just 2 weeks after the hurricane on a beautiful sunny Sunday. It was a thrill to see the Carousel spinning again, being enjoyed by hundreds of excited and very happy children. We are now fully operational and will be open throughout the winter. Our hours are Thursday-Sunday, 11:00-5:00.
For the record, the Pavilion withstood 5-6 ft. waves crashing against it. Water rushed in to cover the platform and 5 ft. of water flooded the basement. As shown in the photo below, the Pavilion looked as though it was being washed out to sea! It was a scary sight!
We did suffer a great deal of damage to our heating and ventilation systems, electronic controls for the huge Swiss doors, sun shades, LED perimeter lighting and sound system. Also, our beloved Gebruder Bruder Band Organ was nearly destroyed. We have begun the process of fully restoring all of the damaged items. We expect that within the next 12 weeks everything will be returned to a pre-Sandy state.
We look forward to welcoming all of you again--for a ride, a fun Birthday Party, a glamorous photo shoot or just a visit to say hello.
Thanks again & Happy Holidays!
Jane Walentas & everyone at Jane's Carousel

Posting time, 3:30 PST
Its easier to post what we do know at this time rather than attach links to articles.
NYC- All okay, Jane's Carousel was sandbagged and had other precautions in place. Very little water inside the building. Other carousels so far are okay.
Coney Island flooding - "worse than in the 1950". Water made it up to Surf Ave. No word on damage to work site of the new B&B building.
Down the coast: We do know some carousels were able to remove figures such as New Haven, CT. Communication is 0 on the most part. Atlantic City-Seaside took the brunt of the storm. I've seen photos where boardwalk and structures along it were GONE. Nothing but foundations. We have been posting photos on Facebook and are eager to learn news as it comes in.
Thank you all for emails as well. Especially John Caruso and Dan Pisark. You can email updates to me or Jean Bennett via the contacts pages on this website.

McKay netted the opener from the penalty spot and took advantage of some slack play from the visitors to put Caley Thistle 3-1 up just after the break and take his tally for the season to 18 goals.
The former Northampton striker has now netted in seven consecutive matches and has seven goals in his last three games, topping the SPL scoring charts with 15 league strikes.
A long-range effort from Owain Tudur Jones and a solo strike from Andrew Shinnie also helped move Caley Thistle above Motherwell and take the club beyond the half-century mark in goals at the halfway point of their season.
Terry Butcher's side, who remain in both cups, have now scored 53 times in all competitions.
Dundee midfielder Nicky Riley cancelled out McKay's opener and there was little in the first half but the home side were in total control after the break.
Niall McGinn scored twice as Aberdeen beat St Johnstone at a storm-lashed Pittodrie.
The Dons were profligate in the first half, with McGinn twice denied by Alan Mannus, before the Northern Irishman scored from a free-kick after 63 minutes.
McGinn's 11th of the season followed after 81 minutes as Aberdeen defied incessant horizontal rain to end a three-match winless run in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League and climb to fourth, above Saints, who are without a win in four.

Knitters in the North East
OK, there has been some talk that we shouldn't let the Illinoisians have all the fun with their getting together and knitting and all that... ;)
So, anyone in the Northeast that would like to give it a shot?? I know that term covers quite a bit of area, but if there's enough interest we could organize two or more... say, one near Pittsburgh, one near DC, one in New England.
Personally, I love daytrips, so any drive up to 3-4 hrs away is no problem.
Hey Rebecca - I live in PGH so I'm glad to see this!!
I don't know if 3-4 hours just for the day would be doable - I'd have to stay the night somewhere to make it worth the drive - I don't like driving - my DH can attest to that - when we do long trips - I immediately sleep - poor thing has to drive the whole way.
It depends on when it is. I'm probably closer to you all when I'm home, but I only get to be home foe 5 weeks (aside from summer) all year, so I'm not giving that time up!
When I'm at school, I'd be willing to drive three hours or so, but I also have to think about having class and homework and whatnot. :rollseyes:
I'd love to meet you guys! I would consider making a longer trip (i.e. overnight), but like Cate, I have school to consider. I was thinking that northern PA would be a good compromise. There's also Elmira/Binghamton. People from PA could get up there in a couple hours and folks like Ingrid, Victoise, Cate, and I would be a couple hours away. (Sorry Susie, that would still be a long trek for you!) I don't know how far that is from NYC, I've never been east of Binghamton. We've only lived out here about 13 years. :rollseyes:
Darn all these mountains and lakes! They're all just in the way! Where's my flying car?!! :lol:
I"d love to get together with fellow KH people!!! :) I'm in Baltimore so fairly centrally located. DH drags...ahem...cough sputter...TAKES me to Civil War battle fields...:) so I figure I can TAKE him on a field trip like this!!!
Hmmmm, yeah that's a great idea but, but there's a but, I hate driving too far by myself too. Binghamton is about 3 hours, not quite.
It would be a great summery thing. PA is not too far but I never go there. I wouldn't mind inviting you all to my place! I have a HUGE new sunporch that I'm actually thinking of turning into a knitting shop/class/get together place once it's finished (and as long as my DH doesn't mind which I don't think he will).
I'm in sheep/alpaca country too! Catskills, east of Binghamton about 3 hours I guess. Bovina Center. There are some really neat B & Bs in my little hamlet also. Well, let's kick it around and see what happens.
The other night I had some friends over and I excitedly pulled out my newest yarn which btw, is brilliant colors I got at the Wool & Sheep Festival, and they were like, 'ummmm, yawn, yes, isn't that lovely'' !!!!!!! So it would be nice to be around some ENTHUSED understanding knitters! :lol:
I like the idea of Binghamton (but it's about 5 hours for all you MD folk :P), but that's only because it's close. I go through it every time I go home. :D
I'm in the Cleveland area, so any Pittsburgh/Buffalo kinda meet up would be good for me - even mid-PA okay.
Re: Knitters in the North-East - Get Together??
Great idea!!! :cheering:
If western Massachusetts isn't too far for y'all, I happen to live 1/2 hour from the country's largest yarn store!! (Webs, aka www.yarn.com ) I bet we could get a room to ourselves to hang out, and Northampton's a great town for food and shopping. :D
Sounds like NY might be a more central hub though? :thinking:

You see not too long ago those chemicals were creeping
Out into the lake and the water underground
Now if this location you seek can be found
Lead, mercury, chromium, benzene
Arsenic and mercury still there but unseen
Keep in mind Im no Seuss but this you should hear
Everything thrown away doesnt disappear
This is a well-used area so please be careful retrieving and hiding the boxes. Although there is none near the boxes, there is poison ivy along parts of the trail.
Take Holly to Track.
Too Much Trash Box
Park in the first lot. Starting at the beginning of the lot, go toward the gatehouse. Follow the loop around the outer edge of the park. Note the shape of the fields suggests the track of long ago. Check out the pictures and see what it looked like in the 50's. Past Jackie McLaughlin and take the path off to the right. Go right again. Through the fence, see the orchard. Just out of sight is the landfill. Keep a look out for a low lying swampy area and find a bird house on a double tree. The far side of the bird house is blue. Where the tree splits in two is a can for you.
Dead Fish Box
After carefully hiding the first box, continue on. Eventually youll see the lake on your right. Just past the wooden bridge, on the left is a triple tree. At a hole in the base, make a stinky find. Continue past the Bushwackers and finish the loop to get back to the lot.

Sports Fix - Novak Djokovic tunes up for Australian Open assault and Gareth Bale insists he's no diver
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- December 30, 2012
NOVAK Djokovic tunes up for his Australian Open assault, Gareth Bale insists he is no diver, 10 goals at the Emirates, and United stay seven points clear.
World No. 1 Novak Djokovic tuned up for his tilt at a third straight Australian Open with victory in the final of the Abu Dhabi exhibition overnight.
Djokovic got his season off to a perfect start by defeating Nicolas Almagro 6-7 (4-7) 6-3 6-4 in the decider.
The Serb had looked in impressive early season form in Friday's semi-finals, destroying world No. 5 David Ferrer in straight sets, while Almagro, a late replacement for the injured Rafael Nadal, was taken all the way by Janko Tipsarevic.
Next stop for Djokovic is Perth for the Hopman Cup, where Australia got off to a winning start last night, defeating Germany 3-0.
FIVE bookings for simulation in 16 months have earned Tottenham midfielder Gareth Bale a reputation as a diver, but the Welsh midfielder isn't going to take the criticism lying down.
Bale was one of the outstanding players on show in a 2-1 win against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light but he was booked by referee Martin Atkinson in the 81st minute after going down under a challenge from Craig Gardner.
It was the third time Bale has been booked for diving this season and means he will miss his side's home game with Reading on New Year's Day due to suspension after accumulating five yellow cards.
"That's the third time now I've been clipped and booked for no reason again,'' said Bale.
"There's nothing I can do - the referees need to look a bit closer. People think I'm diving when there's contact.
"If there's contact, it's a penalty or free-kick, there's nothing I can do. If there's contact, what do you want me to do - hit my head on the floor?"
GOALS rained down on the Premier League overnight, with Arsenal beating Newcastle United 7-3 and champions Manchester City edging Norwich City 4-3 to keep pace with leaders Manchester United.
City's win prevented United from extending their seven-point lead at the summit, after they overcame West Bromwich Albion 2-0 to take their tally for the season to 50 goals.
Tottenham overturned a half-time deficit to win 2-1 at Sunderland and provisionally move into third place.
Aston Villa's recent miseries continued as they sank 3-0 at home to Wigan Athletic, while Southampton were denied victory in a 3-3 draw at Stoke City by a sensational 25-yard strike from Cameron Jerome.
Second-bottom Reading did a better job of defending a lead in a 1-0 home win over West Ham United and Fulham lost 2-1 at home to Swansea City.
Goals came back to us today and it matters. We have a great team and make no mistake - we'll proudly defend our title.— Sergio Aguero (@aguerosergiokun) December 29, 2012
JOHN Mitchell's tenure as Sale coach is over almost as quickly as it began.
The former All Blacks mentor quit as Sale head coach overnight after just a month in charge of the English Premiership rugby club.
Mitchell led Sale to just their second league win of the season against Worcester on Friday, but less than 24 hours later Sale confirmed the Kiwi had left his role to return to South Africa for personal reasons.
The 48-year-old only joined Sale at the end of November, having previously worked for them on a consultancy basis, as the struggling Sharks battle to avoid relegation from the Premiership.

Agent of S.T.Y.L.E. - A Tale of Two SPIDER-GIRLs
Agent of S.T.Y.L.E. - SPIDER-GIRLs
So first we'll discuss Mayday because even if she didn't exist in the mainstream continuity, she was still the first and, for many years, the only person to wow fans every month in her own comic as the amazing Spider-Girl.
WHAT IF...? (vol. 2) #105 came out in 1998 and presented readers with Universe #982, a version of Marvel where Peter Parker (now retired from being Spider-Man) was several years older and raising a daughter with his wife Mary Jane. Teenage May "Mayday" Parker eventually discovered that she had inherited her father's abilities and circumstances then led to her having to fight evil. Before rushing off to battle, she grabbed a pair of web-shooters and a costume. But she didn't grab her father's famous costume. Instead, she grabbed a spare suit that had belonged to Ben Reilly, a clone of Peter Parker who had operated as Spider-Man for a short time during the 1990s. Amazingly, this costume was able to fit her quite nicely even though it had been tailored for an adult man rather than a teenage girl. Wearing her "Uncle Ben's" costume, Mayday called herself Spider-Girl.
The only thing funky about this look to me is that the mask is identical to Spider-Man's and, depending on the drawing, so is the shape of the head. So at times, it seems that Spidey's head has been put onto a girl's body. An easy solution would be to let Mayday's red hair hang loose or to expose the lower half of her face. If you didn't want to go that far, you could at least alter the shape of her eye-lenses to give her a distinctive mask. If there's a close-up only showing Mayday's head while she's masked, I would think it was Spider-Man.
Anya was an ordinary Mexican-Puerto Rican teenager living in Brooklyn when she wound up caught in the crossfire between two secret societies at war: the Spider Society and the Sisterhood of the Wasps. Anya wound up fatally injured and so a sorcerer who belonged to the Spider Society saved her life by transferring mystic energy to her. She wound up marked with a spider tattoo that apparently symbolized her new status as a "hunter" of the Society, a warrior blessed with superhuman abilities. Anya became the Society's special agent and they offered her a variety of possible costumes. But she turned these down and threw together her own look, arming herself with a spider-disc that could be used as a grappling hook or as a weapon. Rather than call herself Spider-Girl, she went by the alias Araña (Spanish for "spider").
Sometimes Anya would switch up details of the look, such as wearing a tighter, black shirt. With this outfit, I prefer the loose white shirt. It just gives her a fun, carefree air that really suits the jocular personality of the character.
After the first few issues of Amazing Fantasy Vol. 2, Anya continued having adventures in her own series Araña: Heart of the Spider. This title didn't last two long though and the storyline concluded in the story Spider-Man/Araña: The Hunter Revealed. In this comic, Anya found out that she actually wasn't the chosen hunter of the Spider Society. No previous hunter had possessed the ability to summon an exo-skeleton. Her fatal wounds and encounter with magic that fateful night had apparently awakened power that was already hidden within. Free of any bond to the Spider Society or their war now, she went to pursue her own fate.
Later on, a story called Grim Hunt left Anya without any powers whatsoever, though she was still incredibly athletic and coordinated for a girl her age thanks in part to her training and fighting experience. Spider-Man and Julia Carpenter were on hand when this happened and the same story gave Julia new powers and a new direction in life. Since she was no longer going to operate as a costumed adventurer, she turned her Arachne costume over to Anya, believing the teenage girl was skilled and talented enough to still be a superhero even if she no longer had powers.
On Julia, the line work of the spider legs going down her limbs definitely added to her sex appeal. Anya's a younger and less sexual character, so now the spider legs are an element that don't work on the same level and might actually make this costume too busy. What's more, the shoulder spots are a little odd and seem to be an extra element that doesn't need to be there except to distract.
This definitely improves the legs, eliminating unnecessary elements (which also makes it easier for the artist, frankly). Now that the costume is less busy all around, the shoulder spots don't seem as distracting. If there's one danger, it might be that this costume is now too simplistic. But fortunately, by showing Anya's very expressive face for the most part, there's still a sense of action and emotion in her scenes that wouldn't be there if her mask completely hid her features.
So go pick up her comics and check out her new mini-series. If you dig Anya, let Marvel know (comic book companies do listen to fans, as long as you're not just hatefully yelling). Until next time, this is Alan Kistler, Agent of S.T.Y.L.E., signing off.

With the emergence of the super rookie qb class of 2012, I only see a few teams that have qb as position of need on their draft board.
1. Chiefs- no doubt Cassel and Quinn are not hte answer
2. Cardinals- Kolb and Skelton are bringing them to the last place in NFC West.
3. Jaguard- Henne is outplaying Gabbert.
4. Bills- Is Fitzpatrick the long term solution
5. Jets- Tebow out, Sanchez is not he franchise.
I guess my point being is I think there could be a great opportunity to get a qb in rounds 3 or 4, a qb that probably would have been drafted sooner, but with so few teams needing qb help, qb stock will fall in the draft.
This is assuming that going into next year the roster going into the draft is
1. CK7- Starter
2. Tolzien -Back up
3. Draft pick- qb rounds 3-7 somewhere
4. Camp arm or PS player- Round 7 or UDFA

Shoots in the 90s
Model Reviewed:Wilson Ci7 irons
Summary:Bought a used set from eBay after having learned on an older set of Wilson blades. Very pleased with how easy it is to swing these clubs. As long as you swing freely with good form, no need to muscle them. Forgiving on mis-hits, providing good distance and accuracy, but still give feedback even on slight misses. They won't make every shot amazing, but I want to know when and how I miss. Decent ability to work balls-my natural swing is a draw, and I'm able to still move it, but have some trouble playing a fade except on mis-hits. I feel great confidence with these and am able to attack pins more.

Summary:When you grab the club, you feel confident. I like narrow top blade type. When you hit, the feel to your hand is indeed attached. I have Honma which is also narrow top blade type with graphite shaft but it seems that the iron shaft gives better accuracy. The head design is also very charming.

Summary:I'm 65 years old with a 7 handicap index. I played with a set of Mizuno MX 25s and decided to try the Ci9 irons looking for a little more forgiveness. What a great decision. The Ci9s look great, feel solid when hit and are more forgiving on off center hits. They are 1/2" longer for some reason. The lofts stay in 4 degree increments. That means the gap wedge is 48*. I put in a 52* wedge to bridge the gap. A great set of irons. Thanks Wilson.

Shoots in the 80s
Model Reviewed:WS Ci9
Summary:I very much like these clubs (4-GW) but these come with really, really, crappy, cheap grips. Better grips improve their feel and performance. Count on spending $6 to $8 for a Golf Pride or Lamkin per grip if you regrip yourself. Inconsistent swingweights and shaft frequencies. I do not care because I customize my clubs anyway. But the uninformed should be forewarned. I bought these clubs for the heads and over time I will rework and customize the lies, very strong lofts, offsets, etc. I will slightly weaken (more) the lofts, thereby reducing the length and thereby add a height to each shot and a little bounce to each iron. The lofts are so stong that a GW is really a PW. The 5 iron is set up the same as an old fashioned 3 iron, loft and length. Tricked up but, then again, I knew that when I bought them. I recommend these clubs with the caveat that they have extra strong lofts (3 TO 4 deg. stronger (less loft) than conventional and 1/2" extra lengths, which means they make an 8 iron but with 7 irons specs. It's all smoke and mirrors, with which I am Ok; but there is some mathematical and physics trickery with all this. WS is not the only one doing this.

UK immigration staff told not to apologise for border delays
01 May 2012
For concise and recent immigration information watch our news.The UK Border Agency (UKBA) has told UK border staff at London's Heathrow Airport to stop apologising for UK immigration delays. UK immigration staff had been handing out leaflets to passengers waiting in queues apologizing for "very long delays" at immigration checks.
Latest news
Delays especially lengthened over the Easter period and the following weeks with some passengers reporting they had to wait up to three hours at border checks. In order to defuse the growing tension, Heathrow staff were handing out a leaflet informing passengers they 'deserved a warmer welcome' and advised disgruntled passengers to complain to the Home Office.
Marc Owen, director of UKBA operations at Heathrow, told immigration staff: "The leaflet is not alright with us. It is both inflammatory and likely to increase tensions in arrivals halls especially in the current atmosphere. It is inappropriate in that it is not for you to display how to complain on our behalf."
London Mayor Boris Johnson said the delays gave "a terrible impression of the UK" three months before the London Olympics. On an average day, Heathrow typically handles an around 190,000 arriving and departing passengers.

The Industrial Design Collection in Berlin is an archive of documents, objects and publications from the former East Germany, cataloguing the consumer culture of a country that supposedly collapsed because it didn't have a good enough consumer culture. Started by the Dutch modernist designer (and committed communist) Mart Stam in 1950, it collected exemplary instances of industrial design until 1990, when it accidentally became historical, instantly dated by the demise of the East German state. Since then, the archive has been publicly accessible and has expanded. Yet the collection's current patrons, the Haus der Geschichte in Bonn, intends to close the archive to the public, putting it in permanent storage. They will reserve a small scattering of objects for a permanent exhibition, with the telling name "Everyday Life under the Dictatorship". All of which raises the question – how political exactly is the design of cups and saucers, cars and kitchens?
The instinct of campaigners who are trying to keep the archive open to the public might well be to stress the innocence of these objects – as the Bulgarian historian Maria Todorova once wrote in these pages:
… since allegedly you cannot wish for a part without wishing for the whole, any positive mention of the socialist past is seen as ideologically suspect. We quickly label a video clip of socialist-era commodities as communist nostalgia, when we obviously would not apply the term Ottoman nostalgia to a video clip of belly dancers gyrating to oriental tunes.
True enough – but then these objects were often politicised from the start. The career of Mart Stam himself, the founder of the collection, makes that very clear. As a designer, he's best known for a tubular steel chair designed in 1925, which since then, slightly modified, has been mass produced all over the world. It wasn't intended merely as a rational way of using materials, but as a way of liberating the sitter from the heaviness and ostentatious comfort of 19th century furniture – a way of sitting that would be light, awake and active. Stam's political commitment got him written out of modernism's history in the west – Le Corbusier once even doctored a photograph of himself, Stam and Mies van der Rohe, so that all that was left of Stam was his left trouser. Yet at the same time, Stam's modernist principles got him into trouble with communist regimes, who under Stalin favoured a return to the heavy and ornamental in everyday design. He fled East Germany in 1952.
When East Germany went modernist itself, in the late 1950s, it placed great significance on its ability to mass produce light, synthetic, vaguely futuristic goods, with the ubiquitous Trabant a source of state pride. In the middle of the century, a mundane design object was more often than not filled with political significance. The Haus der Geschichte is only underlining that in a rather crass way, by associating the casing of toasters with the practice of a one-party state.
The campaign to keep it public, led by the German Society for Design History, calls instead for an open, public "centre for education, memory, controversy and new research initiatives", which sounds a lot more fruitful. The GDR's 1960s-80s experiment with modernism, and especially with various experimental plastics, after long being considered risible, has gradually became fashionable, either despite or because of its naiveté and clunkiness. Objects like the hen-shaped eggcups went back into production, and even Plattenbau, East Germany's prefabricated, mass-produced housing, has become chic. It's hard to work out which is worse – an Ostalgic approach to the former Eastern Bloc's culture, "like living in one gigantic museum", as Agata Pyzik recently put it, or an ideology that argues that all it produced is now merely a document of oppression; part of an ongoing attempt to put the shabby, spy-ridden one-party state that was the GDR on the same level as the infinitely more brutal rightwing dictatorship that directly preceded it. Yet in either case, it's clear these objects still can't be entirely disassociated from the politics of their beholders.

no elevator (mostly for getting bags to room on 3rd floor)

No air conditioning.
Owner was very helpful & accommodating.
Here's why:
We're not the seller.
At KAYAK we don't set the prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.

Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?

Breathless is a must-see from the French New Wave, as a lot of those films are. The Spirit of the Beehive is a subtle and deep film. I'm sure someone with your taste would appreciate it.

We'll have to see about this French New Wave scene; if they actually made films that were sincere, genuine, well-crafted, have an honest outlook of Man, & are subtle enough to reward repeated viewings. All I've seen is 2 films by Godard, one which blew me the away (Contempt) and the other I thought was quite silly (Band of Outsiders). Contempt was made on a big budget and from what I've read this is very uncommon for French New Wave films. The fact that many of these movies were made at a very low cost makes me suspicious of their technical quality. I imagine a lack of funds would noticeably impact every facet of the work, though perhaps being outside the dictates of studio indoctrination could redeem it. From what I've heard, Last Year at Marienbad & Hiroshima Mon Amour are supposed to be very good (along with Breathless).

The Resnais films you mention are masterpieces, but they're sort of in a more experimental sub-section of the French New Wave known as the Left Bank. They're not really in the same vein as the directors commonly associated with French New Wave, mainly Godard and Truffaut.
Breathless is a must-see film with similar motifs as Contempt, but I personally think Breathless is a hell of a lot better. If you loved Contempt, I think you'll probably love Breathless as well. Truffaut's work is quite great too, especially The 400 Blows and Jules and Jim.
P.S. I really need to see Spirit of the Beehive!

French New Wave films are steeped in realism, but at the same time very much experimental and technical film exercises. I think that most of the films I've seen have all of those attributes that you name, although a director as self-conscious as Godard can come off as insincere, even detached, at times. They were influenced by classical Hollywood filmmaking, but also made a point to break from the formulaic and traditional filmmaking techniques. They weren't very expensive films, but they were very innovative in their own right (for example, Godard's use of jump cuts), in terms of both technical and narrative aspects of film.
A few must-see films from the French New Wave:
Breathless, 400 Blows, Cleo From 5 to 7, Les Bonnes Femmes, Rohmer's Six Moral Tales.
For me, the two key films to see are Breathless (for the technical excellence) and 400 Blows (for the existentialism and realism, and subtlety you're looking for).

Yeah, I'm working on the music list. I'm going to do try to do around 125-150 albums. Really need to think about that one. This movie list was just off the top of my head, and I limited myself to one per director. I'm going to updated and expand this list soon, and allow multiple entries.

joanna, can you take a quick, superficial glance at my movie list and this list and tell me which one is easier to read and nicer to look at. I think the writing in the 2nd list is distracting so try to imagine it without that.

I prefer your layout. It's perfectly fine.

Terrafugia Flying Car: The Estimated Cost Is Climbing
Terrafugia says the final cost to buy the Transition will be between $200,000 and $250,000, up from the previous estimate of $194,000. The company adjusted the price estimate during construction of two prototypes. One of the test vehicles will be used for road testing, the other for flight tests to complete the Federal Aviation Administration's Light Sport Aircraft certification process.
The new production site has about 19,000 square feet of space and could allow the company to start building its flying cars by late next year. The company says it looked at proposals from several locations both in and outside the U.S. before deciding on the Woburn facility. There are no set plans for higher-volume production, which the company says "will be influenced by experience gained in low volume manufacturing."
Terrafugia expects to add fifty skilled manufacturing jobs at its new facility by 2013. Prospective customers have placed reservations for the aircraft that will be built in the first two to three years of production. The company continues accepting $10,000 refundable deposits for the Transition aircraft.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- When the summer arrives, so does the heat, but even on gloomy days when it's sticky and the humidity is high, it can feel a lot hotter. The pool isn't the only way to cool down -- the AC also helps, but using more energy means more money out of your pocket.
"Most of my work is outside," said Duane Wright.
Wright is the only breadwinner at his Augusta home. His wife takes care of their two kids, and he takes cares of the bills.
"It's pretty expensive. I average between $150 and $200 a month," he said.
He's talking about the cost of heating or cooling his apartment.
"It stays pretty warm because I don't want to turn it up," said Wright about his Georgia Power bill.
The AC isn't the only thing running up Wright's electric bill -- so is doing laundry.
"We do a load just about every night," he said.
But to help you keep more of your money, Georgia Power is introducing a new program.
"The program is called My Power Usage, and it's an online tool that residential customers can log in to their account on the Internet and view their usage, their current bill and project bill." said a Georgia Power official.
The program also lets you set and manage alerts, too.
"You can set a daily message alert or a monthly usage alert. So, if you spend more than $7 a day, you can put send me an email," said Wendy Brown.
Brown works for Georgia Power and says the program can helps customers eliminate a surprise bill.
"Times are still tough right now while the economy is still recovering and people want to know how much they are spending on all their bills, and they want to be able to budget," Brown said.
Which is something Wright will appreciate for one reason.
"The bill pretty much kills me," he said.
If you don't have an account, you can sign up at Georgia Power's website and start using the My Power Usage program today. There are about 700,000 people across the state that can use it and around 48,000 of those are right here in our area.

Hedge Fund Manager
The Real Poop
Need to brush up a bit before you dive into Wall Street? Take a peek at our Finance Learning Guides to make sure your knowledge is up to snuff.
See: Financial Analyst, Mutual Fund Manager.
Rich. Greedy. Gun-slinging. Narcissistic. Powerful. Tough. Smart. Hungry. What are eight words that describe my future spouse, Alex-from-Jeopardy? Possibly. Especially if your future spouse is a hedge fund manager.
If you bond with the above set of terms then maybe this is a gig for you. But you better want it from the time you get out of your pinstripe diapers because there are very few good hedge fund jobs out there and the best firms only hire out of the absolute best few schools—i.e., Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, and maybe a few others. But that's it. Hooterville Community College (no connection to the restaurant) may have a great basketball court, but it's not going to turn out any hedge fund managers. In fact, it'll be lucky if it turns out anyone who trims hedges for a living.
Looks nice, but it was supposed to be a herd of elephants.
Why the snobbery? Because the clients expect it. And they are willing to pay high fees for only having "the best of the best." And the fees are high.
For most hedge funds, the fund itself charges "2-20" which means that they take a 2% per year fee and then, after fees are paid, take an additional 20% of the profits of the fund in a given year as "incentive fee," which really just boils down to "...and more fees." So a fund managing $500M has a solid year and is up 20%. They go to $600M "assets under management" or AUM. They will have charged a bit over $10M in fees, which pay the salaries of the financial analysts and secretaries and lawyers and the rent and computer costs. Hedge fund managers don't get rich on the fees. But they do get rich on the "carry"—a fancy word for incentive fee. And you thought Bank of America was fee-hungry.
In the above example, the fund had $100M in profits, less the $10M in fees. So on $90M of attributable profits, they take 20% of $18M. And that money is usually split among just the very top guys. Not a bad gig if you can get it.
What do you do all day? You trade stocks. You can tell people that you "invest." But that's not really the case for most hedge funds because they have to be sensitive to monthly performance. That is, the industry forces them to be short-term greedy (as opposed to long-term greedy). So they trade a lot, invest just a little. Average hold time for a long-term investor might be 5 years. (That's even longer than the average hold time while waiting to speak to an operator at the DMV.) Average hold time for a hedge fund might be 5 months. Or weeks. Or days, depending on how nervous they are.
Careful, missy…you're not going to have any fingernails left.
Your job there as a financial analyst is similar to that of a financial analyst at a mutual fund—you analyze stocks and/or bonds. But in a hedge fund, you analyze hedges as well. And most hedge funds trade in options to hedge positions. If you want a really gnarly exposition therein, check out our Series 7 Options section (coming soon) for the X-rated explanation (images not included).

Sams Fine Jewelry opened April 7 at 13 E. Front St. and according to owner Sam Thomas can provide all the public's jewelry needs and more.
A goldsmith with some seven years experience, Thomas has an extensive background in the business. He has worked with jewelers and companies in Millington, Tenn.; Richland, Miss.; Chicago; New York City; and Sikeston.
Drawing many customers into the store are the lighted cases filled with an array of rings, bracelets and necklaces interspersed with crystal filled geodes and other rocks. Wall cases provide customers a glimpse of some of the crystal and silver wedding, anniversary and special occasion gifts also available at the local store.
"We have anything from promise rings to the diamonds of their choice," said Thomas about the selection.
While he offers items from such companies as ArtCarved Diamonds, La4ve rings, Leslie earrings, Alpha International, Britannia Bridal and Frederick Goldman, the largest wedding band company in the U.S., Thomas said many of his customers want him to create something unique for them.
"People like something a little different," he said about the rings and pendants he has made. Thomas added many of the custom-items he has created are for babies and include tiny bracelets and earrings.
Also Thomas takes pride in the repair work he can provide. "If it is metal I can work on it," he said. "And I offer same-day or next-day repair, which is why a lot of people come to me."
From his work station at the front of the store, customers can sit and watch as Thomas engraves or repairs their intricate jewelry and other items. Making use of a laser welder, he can also provide repairs for such things as silver, silverplate and delicate items which can't be subjected to high heat used in soldering.
Since opening, Thomas said business has been "incredible. Sikeston and the surrounding area has been very good to me. I just want to thank everybody."
Sams Fine Jewelry is opened from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- South Carolina's baseball team begins
practice today with a starting
lineup full of savvy, power and knowledge.
With veteran players like junior first baseman Justin Smoke and

ready to burst every game.
South Carolina third baseman James Darnell and
catcher-designated hitter Phil Disher are also returning this
Coach Ray Tanner says he enjoys teaching young players all about
the game of baseball. But when the season starts, he'll sit them in
the dugout and go with experience every time.
The Gamecocks have reached the NCAA's super regional round seven
of the past eight seasons, but haven't played in the college world
series since 2004.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- As temperatures heat up, Safe Kids Augusta is reminding you to look before you lock.
Seven children have already died in the U.S. this year from being left in hot cars. Georgia averages about three deaths a year.
With this triple-digit heat, a car can feel like an oven.
Rene Hopkins, coordinator for Safe Kids East Central, put a few cookies and smores on the dash board of a car left in the sun. In just a few hours, the cookies and smores had melted.
"The temperatures in cars elevate very very quickly, and children's body temperatures elevate three to five times faster than that of an adult," Hopkins said.
She says setting a reminder on your phone, putting something in your backseat like a briefcase or keeping your car locked at all times when it's not being used can prevent an accident like this.
She also says to always take action and call 911 if you see a child alone in a car.
Here are a few statistics on just how fast your car heats up:

Hey guys and girls, well I'm almost 20 weeks pregnant and not exactly well tempers at the best of times, my 3 year old daughter has got such an ignorant attitude, she never and I mean never listens to me! I find my self shouting at the top of my lungs to actually get her attention, my mum nit picks at me so much about her lack of education, when she has been in nursery longer than I ever was and also has had one on one help for over a year now, she still can't write her name or a simple letter, but she can count to 20! And spell her name by talking, she also has more manners than most kids older than her, she can read her cereal boxes ect so she's capable of it but she won't concentrate with me and I really am stuck I just wish she'd try to actually listen to me the amount of praise she'd get would be unbelievable! If she'd just try, but instead she's naughty and tells me she wants me to go away 😢 honestly breaks my heart when she says things like that!

Oh Hun sounds like your having a tough time. You know they are still under the HV until the age of 5, it might be worth booking an appointment to see yours and discuss how to cope with her behaviour. Your not the only one, I know lots of people going through similar with 3 year olds. The HV might be able to give you some different techniques to try out to get her to do what you ask without you feeling like your shouting. Have you tried reward charts? Each child learns at different paces, don't worry xx

We've tried reward charts with stickers but she seems to throw a paddy when we ask her to gently put the sticker in the day :/ just seems like everything's a battle and takes 10x longer just feel like screaming sometimes, Ive read up about 3 year olds and alot of mums and dads seem to struggle with ignorance and just plain meanness! Some kids really don't make you feel loved, I think that's the problem and that's what effects the will to go on lol xxx

Im having similar problems with my daughter she is rude and cheely to me, but absolutely golden at nursery and for my mom, and when we are out. I have learnt though, sometimes you need to pick your battles. For example I let my daughter pick her own clothes because if I dress her she only gets changed again!
She is very young to be reading and writing. At 3 my daughter could recognize her name, but could only write the first letter, the rest was circles. Even now she can only copy write and then only if she wants to. The other day she was writing birthday cards and she wrote the boys names well, but messed up her own!
Iv found using a combination of reward charts and time outs has helped. She isnt doing too well with the reward chart, but time outs are getting fewer and shorter! She was having 3 minutes, but if she plyed up (kicking doors, shouting at me, coming back into the room) she would get an extra 3 minutes added. Now she goes into time out and she know when the alram goes off she can come back, then I ask her why she went into time out, and she says sorry.

Mass Effect Invasion trade invades stores!
Tuesday, April 24, 2012
hardcover edition available directly from Bioware; a large number of these are signed and numbered by me. These are very nice editions, perfect for your library shelf.
It's a big day at the comics shop tomorrow — Dark Horse has the first issue of Star Wars: Boba Fett is Dead out, as well as the climactic issues of Star Wars: Crimson Empire III and Star Wars: Dark Times: Out of the Wilderness out. (Plus there's that Bart Simpson's Pal, Milhouse one-shot that I've been looking forward to from Bongo! Gotta love Milhouse.)
So while you're there, be sure to pick up the newest trade paperback release: Mass Effect: Invasion!
Coplotted by Mac Walters of Bioware and yours truly, Invasion is the third comics storyline based on the award-winning game series. It tells the story of the invasion of Omega, Aria T'Loak's space station, first by the alien Reapers and then by those who came as friends. It's a key piece of the Mass Effect storyline, and leads into the third game. And there's more great art by Omar Francia!
Dark Horse also launches a round of Mass Effect single-issue stories with Mass Effect: Homeworlds #1 out tomorrow, written by Mac. Be sure to check it out!

At night, when all the world's asleep The questions run so deep For such a simple man - Supertramp Managing one's psychological state is critical for the successful investor. This includes everything from finding balance between quantitative and qualitative inputs to ensuring you are mentally sharp when critical decisions must be made. The same, I guess, could be said for almost any endeavor. Focusing too much or too little on any single input can lead to serious pitfalls when it comes to placing your money on the line. The biggest mistake I see in this regard results from the so-called "24/7 news cycle" that dominates investing and politics. (Remember how awful the Dubai World announcement earlier this week was supposed to be? That fizzled out in less than 24 hours.) When barraged from sunup to sundown and beyond with inconsequential information or extreme over-analysis of inconsequential data, the human brain begins to perceive things that don't exist. Daily price movements, in particular, increase in seeming importance, though their true value may have changed little. Add to this the efforts of a profit-oriented media whose charge is to gain viewers, and a dangerous cadre begins to work against the successful investor. As an example, let's look at daily movements in the Dow Jones Industrial Index. In 1997, the Dow averaged 7,443 with a daily average price movement of 64. There were 52 days of 100-point movements with 27 up-moves and 25 down. Thus far in 2009, the Dow has averaged 8,800 with a daily average price movement of nearly 96 points. There have been 90 days of 100-point movements with 48 up-moves and 42 down. A 100-point move is now only 1.1 percent of the average value during the year, and given it is an "average" daily move, it clearly shouldn't be considered "news." But take a look at the news coverage and, in particular, the tone of daily commentators as they describe what is really a typical day, and you might think it much more important. A quick listen to any market recap on the news and you will be barraged with how much the market moved that day, even on days with near-zero price changes. Simply put, 100-point days are no longer important. I'm not sure they should even make the first hour of a financial news broadcast given they are so typical. Looking closer at 2009's price movements — which have been wild and crazy indeed — we've only had 44 days with price movements over 2 percent and only 15 days over 3 percent. Perhaps those are the only days where point movements should have led the story. There are many other "news" items that can throw an investor off track and it is the job of the news provider to make it all sound very important and decision-driving. It's your job as steward of your cash to filter out the noise and focus on true market-moving news items that should perhaps drive your decision making. Key Developments October was the ninth straight month of consumer credit contraction, the longest such streak since World War II. Overall, credit declined $3.5 billion and is down $81.5 billion since January. Though the pace of contraction has slowed, consumer lenders do not appear to be nearing a reversal in activity. The trade deficit narrowed to $32.9 billion in October and remains well below its 2006 peak of $67.8 billion. Our trade deficit normally narrows in recessions and expands in recoveries. Though evidence is mounting for a base in this figure, we've yet to see a reversal that would signal a possible recovery. November retail sales provided a pleasant surprise coming in at 1.3 percent — more than double the pace expected. In addition, gains were spread among the various sectors with especially strong gasoline sales and auto dealers. Retail sales have been gradually building through the year after bottoming in the fourth quarter of 2008.
