Product Description
It is the spring of 1850, and the Chandler family is quietly leaving England for a well-deserved vacation earned by family patriarch Henry Chandler, a clerk for the Cunard shipping line. The holiday is a pretense. In actuality, the family does not plan to return to their home. They have recently joined the Mormon Church and are journeying west to join the Saints in Utah. But as they prepare to board ship, they encounter a desperate young woman attempting to travel alone. The Chandlers graciously offer to chaperone Gloria Palmerston to New York City. Little do they know this strong-willed young lady holds a dangerous secret.
Upon arriving in the United States, the Chandlers' passage west is unexpectedly interrupted and the family is forced to work on a steamship bound for Panama as they inch closer to their goal of the Great Salt Lake valley. With hopes of reaching the Zion of the West through a San Francisco route, the Chandler family and Miss Palmerston embark on a heroic undertaking as they face stormy seas, dishonest confidants, unending toil, strife, and betrayal—but also the helping hands of the famous Sam Brannan and Porter Rockwell. But there are some things worth sacrificing everything for. Book passage on Steamship to Zion and see how one family endures and proves the measure of their faith.

Chapter 1
A Fresh Start
Liverpool, England—May 1850
"This is outrageous! I won't stand for it!"
To observers standing nearby it appeared that Gloria Palmerston
was going to strike Captain Edwards, and even he seemed to brace for
the blow. But instead she abruptly turned on her heel and stormed off
in the direction of the steamship ticket office.
"Hey, watch out there!" But it was too late. In her anger, Gloria ran
directly into Marc Chandler, who had been standing patiently behind
her on the pier studying a sheaf of papers—papers that went flying as he
fell backward to the ground. "What's that, then? Are you really all that
important that you can just bowl over anyone who gets in your way?"
"Hmmph!" was Gloria's response as she muscled her way through
the crowd, some of whom were chasing down the scattered papers.
"Here, let me help you up." Henry Chandler stretched out his
hand to his son and quickly pulled the twenty-two-year-old into a
standing position.
Dusting himself off, Marc turned to the crowd. His grin showed
that he was nonplussed by the whole thing, which allowed those
standing nearby to laugh with him. Marc was one of those individuals
who displayed natural charm. He had dark hair, brown eyes,
a trim but athletic build, and a natural grace. As he accepted the last
remnant of the papers from an elderly woman, he thanked her. "I
hope it's not like this in America," Marc added.
"Look," said Alexandra Chandler, Marc's mother, "that young lady who
bumped into Marcus is over there crying. Henry. We must do something."
"We can comfort her," said Alexandra, biting her lip. "And you
can find out from the captain what all this fuss is about. No woman
should be made to cry, let alone a highborn woman like that."
Alexandra turned on her family with a stern gaze—a gaze they recognized
very well. "So you go see the captain, and Honoria and I will go
talk to the lady."
"Me?" said Honoria, "But why me? What would I say?" Honoria
was the Chandlers' twenty-year-old daughter. Although quite attractive,
with large dark eyes and beautiful dark brown hair, she was
painfully shy and quiet, although her father preferred to call her
"Just come with me, dear. You needn't say anything, but at times
like this it helps to have more than one woman to offer comfort."
With that, Alexandra started off toward the ticket office, pausing just
long enough to momentarily return her gaze to Henry. "Well? You
and Marcus should go talk to the captain right now."
Henry sighed, shook his head ever so slightly, but said nothing to
his wife. "Come on, then, Marcus. Let's go see what we can do. Your
mother will never let us rest until we do. Will you watch our things,
"Yes, sir," said Max, their fourteen-year-old son and the youngest
member of the family.
"I don't know why we'd want to help her," said Marc. "She bowled
me over with no hint of apology. It looks to me like just another
spoiled, upper-crust brat."
"Now, Marc," said Henry, "she was obviously distressed and
caught up in her own troubles."
Marc stifled a retort. He decided not to press it. This was too
exciting of a day, and he wasn't going to let some overdressed debutante
spoil it for the family. And, if truth be told, he found her one of
the most strikingly beautiful women he had ever laid his eyes on, even
if her perfume was so strong and fragrant that it could have knocked
him down just as easily as the collision or her attitude did. His eyes
wandered to the young lady at the ticket office.
"The lady is all right now that your mother is there, so you don't
need to stare," said Henry with a touch of mischief.
that way to make sure she wasn't knocking Mum and Honoria down."
Henry laughed. Then he stuck his arm up in the air to signal the
captain. "A short word with you, Captain Edwards?"
The captain saw him and said something to the other passengers
he was talking with. Then he made his way over to Henry and Marc.
Even though Henry was a relatively low-level employee with the
Cunard Line, the captain had already made it a point to welcome him
to the dock and to extend an invitation for at least one evening at the
captain's table during the upcoming crossing.
"How may I help you, Mr. Chandler?"
"I'm sorry to bother you with something that is most likely none
of our business. But my wife is quite concerned about that young
woman who appeared to have an altercation with you. Is there
anything we can do to help the situation?"
The captain sighed. "She's a sharp one, all right. A single woman who
wants passage to America. But she has no chaperone and so of course it's
impossible for us to transport her. That's why she was so hostile to me: I
had to tell her no, and now I'm sure I'll hear about it from the company."
"Pardon my asking, but she appears to be a prominent person—
how is it that she would be in a position to travel alone?"
"From what I can make out, she's the daughter of a nearby landowner,
the mayor of that town. So she's prosperous enough—she
offered to pay her passage in cash. But why she wishes to make her
way alone, to America of all places, is beyond my simple imagination.
She acted quite anxious to get on board."
"She's a menace, if you ask me," said Marc.
"Perhaps . . ." replied the captain, "ah, it seems as if she's enlisted
the aid of your mother. Here they come."
Henry and Marc both turned to see Alexandra striding forcefully
toward them, the young lady and Honoria hanging back by where
young Max had positioned himself with the family's steamer trunks.
"Right, then," said Henry, "you better prepare yourself, Captain. My
wife has that determined look in her eye."
"Henry. Captain. I've learned something that may be of interest
to the two of you. This young lady is very much in need of passage on
this ship, and I think it unconscionable that she be refused."
Henry couldn't help but wonder how he'd become an obstacle to
that plan but knew it foolish to intervene.
"I understand that, ma'am," said the captain respectfully, "but
it's unthinkable for a young lady of such obvious breeding to travel
unaccompanied on a voyage like this. That is a situation that virtually
none of the respectable people on board would stand for. Nor will
I stand for it. Someone has to be there to protect her, and my crew
simply doesn't have time."
"That's what I thought," said Alexandra, a little softer. "It shows
you to be a gentleman. But I believe we have an answer—if you still
have a cabin."
"What have you planned, Alexandra?" asked Henry. "You know it
can be unseemly to interfere in other people's affairs."
"I know it can be the Christian thing to do." Alexandra took a
deep breath, knowing full well that what she was about to propose
was questionable at best. But the young woman was so distressed and
desirous of making passage that Alexandra had concluded she had to do
something to help her. "I propose that we act as her chaperone. We are
a respectable family, and she can come along as our guest. Between my
husband and my sons, we can make certain she is protected."
"But, you don't even know her . . ."
"I know her well, enough, Captain Edwards. And I'd think you'd
want the extra revenue that comes from a first-class cabin."
"But Mother, we really don't know anything about her—except
that she is rude and impetuous and . . . I was looking forward to
this crossing more than anything, and I'm not sure I want to do it
standing guard over some princess."
"Quiet, Marcus. A woman is in need and we can help."
Marc inhaled sharply, forcing himself to keep quiet.
His mother had her hands on her hips and was standing squarely
in front of the captain. "Well, Captain Edwards?"
The captain pursed his lips. Even though Alexandra was in
command of the situation, the captain turned to Henry. "And what
do you think, Mr. Chandler? Are you willing to vouch for this young
woman and take her under your care?" No matter how forcefully a
woman spoke, it was the head of the household who must make a
decision such as this.
"We do."
"Then it is in the interest of the company to book it." Henry
turned toward where the young woman was standing. She looked
at him with a mixture of hope and scorn. Obviously she was not
delighted with the thought of throwing herself at the mercy of
strangers, even when they had reached out to her in kindness. "Let
me have a few moments to talk with her, but for the moment, plan
on her coming on board. We will act as chaperone if she's able to
convince me that she's not running away from the law or some other
"Henry, she's not running away from the law, for heaven's sake . . ."
"That's enough, dear. You've won the point, but I really do have
to interview her first. It's the only prudent thing to do. We must take
this responsibility on with full knowledge so it doesn't come back to
haunt us later."
Alexandra hesitated and then relented. "Of course you're right,
dear. Go talk to her and make the best decision. I hope it works out
that we can help her."
"Is that acceptable, Captain?" asked Henry.
"I have no objection. We will plan on it, unless I hear otherwise."
Turning to Alexandra, Henry said softly, "I hope you haven't
landed us in something troublesome. We have our own affairs to tend
to, and they may become muddied enough as it is."
"That may be . . ." Alexandra's voice was more agitated now. "But
how could I just stand there?"
"Others could, but you can't. No use fretting about it. Now I'll go
talk to her." Turning, he said, "Marcus, why don't you go and organize
things for the porters. And stand by to help Miss—whatever her
name is—when the time comes."
"As long as she doesn't blast past me again . . ."
"Be nice to her," Alexandra scolded. "She may be our dinner
companion for the next two weeks, so I don't want you nursing a
grudge or teasing her. Do you understand?"
"Yes, ma'am."
As they busied themselves collecting the young woman's luggage
and uniting it with their own, the family was surprised by how long
their father's conversation lasted with her, particularly when they
observed her face flush at one point.
"It's awfully hard to imagine father saying something that would
offend someone," whispered Honoria.
Alexandra smiled slightly. "She is a very strong-willed girl."
"And I've the bruises on my bottom to prove it," Marc added.
Alexandra rolled her eyes. "You're acting like a . . ." Before she
could finish her sentence, her eyes widened and she whispered,
"Quick, look away. They're coming."
"It's all settled, then," said Henry in a forced voice. "Miss Palmerston
is an honorable lady from a prominent family who wishes to spend
some time with relatives in New York City. She will be our guest for the
crossing and then part company with us in New York." It seemed obvious
to everyone concerned that there was more to the story than Henry
was telling, but the terseness of his response and the set look on his face
conveyed very clearly that he was not going to say anything more about it.
"Now, Alexandra, perhaps you could see Miss Palmerston to her room."
"Perhaps you can formally introduce all of us first," said Alexandra.
"Yes," said Henry, looking around nervously, "of course. But
we really should hurry. All of this excitement suggests that Miss
Palmerston should lie down to calm herself." Through all of this,
Gloria had stood by impassively, perfectly content to have Henry
carry the burden of explaining what seemed inexplicable. "So allow
me to introduce Miss Gloria Palmerston. This is my wife Alexandra,
our daughter Honoria, and our two sons Marcus and Maximus."
"I prefer Max."
"Pleased to meet all of you," said Gloria quietly. Glancing at Marc,
she added, "And I'm sorry for our . . . encounter."
Marc raised his head slightly as he considered the sincerity of her
words. He found them lacking. "Of course. Apology accepted." His
use of the word apology caused Miss Palmerston's eyes to narrow and
her nostrils to flare slightly.
"Yes, well, then, if you'll see her on board the ship," said Henry to
Alexandra in a hushed voice.
"But they've not even sounded the call for boarding . . ."
"I know that, dear, but I'll speak to the captain. It really is quite
urgent that Miss Palmerston go aboard." Henry glanced around the
docks with a furtive glance as he said this, which raised everyone's
"Of course." Even though Alexandra lifted her right eyebrow—a
sure sign that she was curious—she said nothing more. She held out
her arm to Gloria, who stepped forward and accepted her companionship.
Henry walked off to meet up with the captain as Alexandra
and Gloria made their way to the gangplank, where the purser
allowed them to pass after receiving a sign from the captain.
"What on earth is this all about," asked Marc when his father
returned. "She is definitely not the type who needs to 'lie down
because of all the excitement.' She's the cause of the excitement, for
Pete's sake!"
"That's enough, Marcus. She needs our help. Just leave it at that."
Just then Marc saw his father shrink back a bit. Following his gaze,
he turned his eyes to the outer edge of the crowd, where he saw two
rather rough-looking characters ride up on their horses, one putting
his hand to his brow to shield his eyes from the sun as he looked
over all of the people in the crowd, obviously searching for someone
specific. When Henry saw Marc staring, he added, "Why don't we
make our way toward the front of the line. The porter will take care
of our luggage."
"Sure," said Marc, now very curious. Normally his father would
have handled the luggage to save themselves precious money that
would be needed once they reached America. But this was not the
time to pursue it. "Come on, Max. Let's have a look at those side
paddles before we get on board. I want to learn more about how this
great ship works."
"Me, too," said Max excitedly.
"I'll take Honoria on board," said Henry.
As Marc and Max started toward the edge of the dock, Marc cast
a quick glance to the side. The two figures on horses were gone. "It's
going to be a very interesting voyage, Max."

Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands opens as an eccentric inventor (Vincent Price) lovingly assembles a synthetic youth named Edward (Johnny Depp). Edward has all the essential ingredients for today's standard body, with the exception of a pair of hands. For what is initially thought to be a temporary period, he is fitted with long, scissor-like extremities that, while able to trim a mean hedge, are hardly conducive to day-to-day life. When the kindly inventor dies, however, Edward is left lonely and cursed with some very heavy metal for hands. He is eventually taken in by Peg Boggs (Dianne Weist), an Avon lady who takes pity on him after seeing his bleak existence. Edward, in spite of his inherent ability to slay anyone he comes across, is a gentle soul whose only wish is to be loved. His impromptu family has, at best, a limited understanding of Edward, but he finds himself drawn to Peg's weary but sympathetic daughter, Kim (Winona Ryder), who is dating Jim (Anthony Michael Hall), the neighborhood bully. Meanwhile, Edward finds himself a local celebrity after the town realizes that his talents include creative hedge trimming and an unrivaled ability to cut hair. His so-called friends are proven fair-weather when Edward is accused of a crime, after which his only supporters are Peg and Kim. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

Inspired more by the 1960s TV series than by the original Charles Addams New Yorker cartoons, The Addams Family proved to be one of the more successful of the TV shows-turned-movies of the 1990s. The film opens on a recreation of the magazine cartoon wherein the ghoulish Addamses prepare to pour hot oil upon a group of merry Christmas carolers. After a series of vignettes which establish the characters of Gomez (Raul Julia), Morticia (Anjelica Huston), Wednesday (Christina Ricci), Pugsley (Jimmy Workman) and family servants Lurch (Carel Struycken) and Thing (Christopher Hart), the plot proper gets under way. A stranger, played by Christopher Lloyd, shows up on the Addams doorstep, claiming to be long-lost Uncle Fester. It appears, however, that Lloyd is a ringer, in cahoots with attorney Tully Alford (Dan Hedaya) to strip the Addamses of their fortune. In their usual against-the-grain fashion, the Addams Family seems to delight in the possibility that they're being hoodwinked-indeed, not even kidnapping or death threats dampen the Addams clan's joy of living (or should we say dying?). The Addams Family served as the directorial debut of cinematographer Barry Sonnenfeld. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Nightmare Before Christmas

Add The Nightmare Before Christmas to top of Queue
This stop-motion animated fable was a big hit when it was released -- not only at the box office, but critically. It was praised for its stunning originality and for the excellence of its execution. In addition, it was praised for being a completely absorbing fable that both grownups and children can enjoy, so long as the children are able to its handle scary bits (beginning perhaps at age seven or eight). In the story, Jack Skellington (voice of Chris Sarandon) is the Pumpkin King of Halloweentown, a realm of reality where the inhabitants make it their life's work to scare humans on Halloween. He's good at his work, and is very popular around town, but it all bores him. In a funk one day, he wanders into a wood where every tree is the doorway to realms serving one or another human holiday, and falls through the doorway into Christmas. There, he sees scenes of such glee and good will that he is overwhelmed. He returns to Halloweentown with the inspiration to persuade his fellow citizens to kidnap Santa and do Christmas in their own Halloweentown way -- complete with snakes and shrunken heads. Despite strong arguments against this project by Jack's otherwise loyal girlfriend, Sally (voice of Catherine O'Hara), Santa (voice of Edward Ivory) is duly captured, and the townspeople prepare a very special Christmas for everyone. Jack is excited about the new plan, and at first doesn't notice that Sally isn't around much anymore. Meanwhile, Oogie Boogie (voice of Ken Page), a sinister opponent of Jack's, has re-kidnapped Santa and has captured Sally as well. Since Sally is the true love of Jack's life and (he eventually realizes) the only one who can be relied upon to tell him the truth in every circumstance, a confrontation with Oogie Boogie becomes inevitable. In addition to being a monumental work of animation (it took over 120 animators and many more technicians more than two years to film it), this show features ten very appropriate musical numbers by composer Danny Elfman, who also supplies Jack's singing voice. In October 2006, fans of the innovative animated classic got to experience The Nightmare Before Christmas in a whole new dimension when the film was re-released into theaters in Disney Digital 3-D -- a process developed to add remarkable new depth to films that were originally released in standard 2-D. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Black Beauty

Add Black Beauty to top of Queue
The fourth screen adaptation of Anna Sewell's classic novel is, in some ways, the most faithful and accomplished. Screenwriter and director Caroline Thompson recounts the life of Black Beauty, an aging, handsome stallion living in Victorian England. The film is narrated by Alan Cumming as the voice of Black Beauty, who spends a happy childhood on a rambling country estate before being ravaged by illness and surviving a horrible stable fire. However, the worst is yet to come as Black Beauty's new owners subject him to life as a horse for rent and, later, as a taxi puller in working-class London, before he can retire in peace. The original novel was written to draw attention to the cruel treatment of animals in 1877 England, and the issue's continued relevance today adds poignancy and gravity to this affecting tale. The film is episodic, as was the book, and the topic is handled with sensitivity and care. ~ Don Kaye, Rovi

A lot of people like to say that their pets think they're human, but Trudy Lintz (Rene Russo) has taken this notion to a new level: she likes to treat her pets as if they were human. A wealthy New Yorker, Trudy has a menagerie of animals living in her apartment, including dogs, horses, ducks, and four chimpanzees whom she dresses in human clothing and treats as if they were her own children. Trudy's husband (Robbie Coltrane) is fully aware of his wife's eccentricities but has learned to live with them. However, this gets a bit more difficult when Trudy is persuaded to adopt Buddy, an infant gorilla. Buddy is a tiny creature in poor health when Trudy first meets him, but with love and care she nurses the gorilla back to health. However, the rejuvenated Buddy starts growing into adulthood, and while the chimps are small and docile enough to wear human clothing and obey Trudy's instructions, Buddy becomes a several-hundred-pound adult who hears the call of the wild too clearly to do what Trudy wants, which becomes painfully obvious during a trip to the World's Fair. Jim Henson's Creature Shop helped create the special-effects animals used in the film. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Shown theatrically in Europe and the Middle East in 2001, this live-action version of the classic fairy tale "Snow White" often bids fair to be the grimmest of all Grimm Brothers adaptations. When his wife Josephine (Vera Farmiga) dies in childbirth, hapless woodsman John (Tom Irwin) and his newborn daughter Snow White embark upon a journey which ultimately finds them hopelessly lost in the snowy wastes. Praying for a miracle, John is visited by a seemingly benign spirit called "The Green-Eyed One" (Clancy Brown), who offers to grant John three wishes: Nourishment, a kingdom, and a queen for a wife. Little does "King" John suspect that the Green-Eyed One is actually an emissary for Satan, and that his queenly new wife Elspeth (Miranda Richardson) is the Green-Eyed One's equally evil daughter. The familiar "Snow White" plot takes off from here, complete with Queen Elspeth's efforts to kill the "fair" Snow White (now grown up and played by Kristin Kreuk), her rescue at the hands of seven "little men"--each one a different rainbow color, each one named for a different day of the week--and of course, the last-act arrival of the Handsome Prince, here named Alfred (Tyron Leitso). Balancing its more frightening aspects with slapstick comedy and awesome special effects, the film debuted on American television as Snow White: The Fairest of Them All, and was first broadcast March 17 2002 as an episode of ABC's The Wonderful World of Disney. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Tim Burton returns to the dark but fanciful animated style of The Nightmare Before Christmas with this stop-motion black comedy. Victor (voice of Johnny Depp) lives in a small European village in the 19th century, where he is pledged to marry Victoria (voice of Emily Watson), a partnership arranged by their parents. The two only meet the day before their scheduled nuptials, and Victor performs disastrously in the wedding rehearsal. Later that evening, while he is walking through the woods and hopelessly practicing his vows, he puts Victoria's wedding band on what looks like a branch. Victor quickly discovers this was a big mistake; as it happens, he has put the ring on the skeletal finger of the enchanted Corpse Bride (voice of Helena Bonham Carter), who then whisks him off to a dark and mysterious netherworld where they are now married. Victor is frightened in the land of the dead, and even realizes that he has fallen in love with his true fiancée, Victoria, so he searches for a way back to his own world. Directed by Tim Burton in collaboration with animator Mike Johnson, Corpse Bride features a stellar voice cast, including Albert Finney, Christopher Lee, Richard E. Grant, Joanna Lumley, and Danny Elfman (who also composed the film's musical score). ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

An obsessive French perfumer with a highly developed olfactory sense and an all-consuming drive to capture the essence of love eventually resorts to murder in his unrepentant quest to find the key ingredient for his recipe in director Tom Tykwer's adaptation of author Patrick Suskind's best-selling 1985 novel. Born in a fetid fish market and raised in a dilapidated orphanage, Jean-Baptiste Grenouille (Ben Whishaw) toiled his childhood away in a rank tannery run by the thuggish Grimal (Sam Douglas). Subsequently obsessed by smell, Grenouille's keen olfactory sense becomes so finely tuned that it eventually overpowers such human qualities as love and compassion. Though he has indeed discovered the unmistakable scent of a woman, Grenouille finds it impossible to connect with the fairer sex on any sort of meaningful level. Roaming the streets of Paris late one night, Grenouille catches the scent of a young girl selling plums and impulsively strangles her, later sniffing her nude corpse in a twisted attempt to preserve the distinctive scent in his memory. After persuading legendary perfumer Giuseppe Baldini (Dustin Hoffman) to take him on as an apprentice, Grenouille travels to the town of Grasse in Southern France in order to learn the art of enfleurage at a firm run by the highly respected Mme. Arnulfi (Corinna Harfouch). It is there that Grenouille becomes dangerously drawn to the vestal aroma of the young and beautiful Laura (Rachel Hurd-Wood), the daughter of widower merchant Antione Richis (Alan Rickman). Soon driven to madness by such a pure scent, the spellbound Grenouille continues to claim the lives of the numerous young girls in a tragic attempt to bottle the impossibly elusive smell of virginal womanhood. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Monster House director Gil Kenan takes the helm for this children's fantasy about two young heroes who attempt to solve an ancient mystery in time to prevent their underground city from being swallowed by darkness. The City of Ember was built over 200 year ago, deep below the earth, where the destruction of a mass-scale disaster couldn't reach it. Equipped with a massive generator and vast supplies, the people of Ember have thrived happily for generations -- but the city wasn't meant to be lived in forever. The generator is breaking down and the supplies are running out, but two centuries in isolation have robbed the Emberites of their knowledge -- nobody knows how the electric lights work anymore, and nobody understands that there's something beyond the city besides darkness. Nobody, that is, besides Lina (Saoirse Ronan) and Doon (Harry Treadaway), two teenagers who still have the hope that everyone else has lost to ignorance and apathy -- not to mention a sheet of instructions left by the Builders themselves explaining how to leave the city. But the 200-year-old paper is falling apart, and pieces are missing. So with the lights threatening to flicker out for the last time and leave Ember in darkness forever, Lina and Doon set out on an adventure through the streets, sewers, and dark caverns of Ember to put the pieces back together. To solve the mystery, they'll have to get inside the Builders' heads, and avoid the grasp of corrupt Mayor Cole (Bill Murray), who wants to keep Ember the way it is -- no matter what the cost. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Merged district
Iowa was one of 10 states to lose seats in Congress because of redistricting, setting up a member-on-member showdown between two veteran lawmakers in a merged Des Moines-area district. Democrat Leonard Boswell represented much of this new district in the late 1990s. Republican Tom Latham had a fundraising advantage due in part to his friendship with Boehner. The cash advantage was apparent on the airwaves, where Latham outspent Boswell, even when counting the considerable assistance the Democrat received from his national party. Boswell is no stranger to tight races. He survived the Republican wave of 2010.
Iowa 4: Rep. Steve King (R) vs. Christie Vilsack (D)
Republican incumbent Steve King's bid for a sixth term in Congress was his toughest. King won re-election in his old western Iowa district with 66% of the vote in 2010, and he never dipped below 59% in any of his previous races. This year, he faced a new district and a tough new challenger in Democrat Christie Vilsack, Iowa's former first lady and the wife of U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. The good news for King was that his enormous new district in the northwest part of the state comprises mostly counties won in 2008 by John McCain. King had a fundraising advantage over Vilsack. But Vilsack was the strongest candidate Democrats could have fielded.
Louisiana 3: Rep. Charles Boustany (R) vs. Rep. Jeff Landry (R)
Merged district
As in California, redistricting and a "top-two" primary system forced two incumbent lawmakers of the same party into a November showdown. Republican Charles Boustany, a surgeon elected in 2004, faced freshman Republican Jeff Landry, an attorney and businessman, former police officer and tea party favorite. Boustany represented more of the new district than did Landry, but the freshman proved he was capable of pulling off surprises when he defeated the better-known former Louisiana House speaker in the 2010 primary. Under state law, the November election serves as an open primary, in which the top two finishers will advance to a December runoff if no one gets a majority.
Maryland 6: Rep. Roscoe Bartlett (R) vs. John Delaney (D)
Republican Roscoe Bartlett's bid for an 11th term appears to have been his last. The long-time western Maryland representative was a target for Democrats who redrew the district last year. As a result, his once-safe seat now stretches from the state's westernmost point to include a piece of heavily Democratic Montgomery County and now reaches almost to the District of Columbia border. His Democratic opponent was John Delaney, a wealthy businessman. Delaney pulled off an upset in the Democratic primary over Rob Garagiola, a state senator with a string of endorsements from party establishment types, including Gov. Martin O'Malley. Bartlett had little hope of pulling off a miracle.
Massachusetts 4: Joe Kennedy III (D) vs. Sean Bielat (R)
Open Democratic-held seat
After a two-year absence, the famed Kennedy family once again has an elected representative in national politics.
Joe Kennedy III will serve Massachusetts' 4th district, having handily defeated GOP opponent Sean Bielat, according to a CNN projection. The seat became open when longtime Democratic Rep. Barney Frank, who has been a leading proponent of financial regulations, announced this year that he was retiring.
Kennedy is the 32-year-old grandson of slain Sen. Robert Kennedy of New York. His great-uncles are the late President John F. Kennedy and long-time Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Massachusetts, who died in office in 2009.
Democratic Rep. Patrick Kennedy of Rhode Island left office in January 2011, ending his family's 64-year streak of service in the U.S. Congress.
Joe Kennedy is a former prosecutor and Peace Corps member; Bielat is a businessman and Marine Corps reservist.
Massachusetts 6: Rep. John Tierney (D) vs. Richard Tisei (R)
Rep. John Tierney was in danger of becoming the first Democrat since 1994 to lose a U.S. House race in Massachusetts. The eight-term incumbent was dogged by a financial scandal involving his wife and her brothers and an illegal gambling operation. The Republican nominee was Richard Tisei, a former state senator who is openly gay. Tierney was targeted by more than $3 million in ads this cycle from Tisei, the national Republican Party and pro-Republican groups, eager to defeat a Democrat in Massachusetts. The district is Democratic but the ongoing scandal appeared to have taken a toll. A September Boston Globe/University of New Hampshire poll had Tisei with 37%, Tierney with 30% and 30% undecided.
Minnesota 6: Rep. Michele Bachmann (R) vs. Jim Graves (D)
Tea party favorite Michele Bachmann was a shoo-in for re-election when she folded up her presidential campaign in January. Ten months later, Bachmann still had the advantage but she faced a tough challenger in Jim Graves, a wealthy businessman. Graves waged a competitive race in October, spending $1.2 million in TV ads, compared with $1.7 million for Bachmann. The conservative congresswoman had never posted huge numbers on Election Night, but redistricting made her district slightly more Republican. Nevada 4: Steven Horsford (D) vs. Danny Tarkanian (R)
New district
There was a competitive race in Nevada's newest congressional district. The nominees were Democrat Steven Horsford, the state senate majority leader, and Republican Danny Tarkanian, a businessman and son of UNLV basketball coaching legend Jerry Tarkanian. The younger Tarkanian was a 2010 U.S. Senate candidate, but placed third in the Republican primary. The two candidates had been evenly matched in terms of fundraising as well as assistance from their national parties and from outside groups in terms of TV ads. The district leans slightly Democratic.
New Hampshire 1: Rep. Frank Guinta (R) vs. Former Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D)
As was the case in 2010, Republican Frank Guinta and Democrat Carol Shea-Porter faced off in the battle for New Hampshire's 1st Congressional District. This time, Guinta was the incumbent and Shea-Porter the challenger. Shea-Porter was elected in the Democratic wave of 2006 and served two terms before losing to Guinta in 2010, 54%-42%. The two were fairly evenly matched in fundraising.
New Hampshire 2: Rep. Charlie Bass (R) vs. Ann McLane Kuster (D)

People are so gullible! They listen to union leadership, who promises all kinds of unearned benefits and pay, rather than using their own brains! Reminds me of democrat voters...
Union morons living in a state full of morons of all stripes.
Lazaro Cardenas in Mexico is a deep water port owned and operated by Hutchison Whampoa. They could either truck or rail containers to the US/Mexico border and hand off the containers to American truckers. Border brokers on the US side could do the clearance or it can be accomplished electronically while the cargo is in transit in MX. Lower labor costs, less congestion - win/win.US labor union leadership still not thinking very clearly, are they...
The Panama Canal has been deepened and those big container ships can go elsewhere. Strikers should stay in Ca. and pay taxes, if they still have a job.
Florida Governor Rick Scott is committed to creating a world-class port in south Florida. Coming thru the Panama Canal is a real alternative to California. Most importantly, Florida is a right-to -work state.
Don´t forget Houston/Galveston, Corpus Christi and Port Arthur, TX; New Orleans, LA; and Mobile, AL.
Those poor put upon clerks average $40.00 an hour.
They´re too greedy and stupid to care.
As the econony worsens, as it will under BO´s second term coupled with the soaring tax increase under Obamacare, American businesses force to employ union labor will start following the "Hostess model", by going bankrupt and the sell the business for a steal to a foreign entity, or shut down completely and move over seasIt is astounding to me how the union drones do not see the writing on the wall considering the condition of Detroit and Pittsburg. Both festering cancers on the American landscape.And if you add the suicidal approach that BO and the Dept. of Interior, regions in the US that rely on natural resources as gas, oil, coal and water, will be waste lands and ghosts towns.Meanwhile, China, Russia, India and the ME have unfettered ability to exploit their natural resources increasing their economy 100-fold all to the detriment of US strangling policies. BO and his minions are truly moronic.

2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Facelift Spy Photos
Updates to the body will focus on the front end, with a redesigned grille that will be flanked by single unit headlights
by Jim Davis | 25 July 2012
View the photo gallery
Little by little Mercedes is peeling back the camouflage and giving us a glimpse at what we can expect from the much anticipated 2014 E-Class. Updates to the body of the new E-Class will focus on the front end, there is a redesigned grille that will be flanked by single unit headlights, abandoning the old design from the 90′s.
Styling changes are less visible in the rear with slightly redesigned taillights. We cannot yet see the bumper clear enough to be certain, but more than likely, the lines will be softer and smoother than the current design.
Media launch will be this fall with a market launch at the beginning of 2013.

Liberty Fund Resources
Information and PricesDonald J. Boudreaux
Modern economists excel at identifying theoretical reasons why markets might fail. While these theories may temper uncritical views of the market, it is important to note that markets do, in fact, work incredibly well. Indeed, markets work so thoroughly and quietly that their success too often goes unnoticed.
Consider that the number of different ways to arrange, even in a single dimension, a mere twenty items is far greater than the number of seconds in ten billion years. Now consider that the world contains trillions of different resources: my labor, iron ore, Hong Kong harbor, the stage at the Met, countless stands of pine trees, fertile Russian plains, orbiting satellites, automobile factories--the list is endless. The number of different ways to use, combine, and recombine these resources is unimaginably colossal.... READ MORE ALSO OF INTEREST

Gary S. Becker(1930- )
Gary S. Becker received the 1992 Nobel Prize in economics for "having extended the domain of economic theory to aspects of human behavior which had previously been dealt with--if at all--by other social science disciplines such as sociology, demography and criminology."
.... In the early 1960s Becker moved on to the fledgling area of human capital. One of the founders of the concept (the other being Theodore Schultz), Becker pointed out what again seems like common sense but was new at the time: education is an investment. Education adds to our human capital just as other investments add to physical capital.... READ MORE |

6 reviewsMock Croc Print Oversized Handbag
Every girl should have an oversized bag in her life and this mock croc print grab bag is perfect for the office, shopping with the girls or lunch dates.
This season loves prints and textures and this piece has it all. A mock croc print not only looks chic, but gives it a luxurious feel. In patent leather it has a luxe shiny finish, whilst contrasting handles add impact to the style.
Oversized, you'll have no problem fitting everything from your lunch and diary to your phone and make up in this bag. A zip up slip pocket to the inside offers a secure place to store your valuables, whilst the zip up fastening to the top keeps everything safe.
Wear with skinny jeans, a tucked in shirt and cute ballerina pumps for a charming daytime look this season. Add a pale pink cardi on cooler days.

In December 2010, two weeks before Christmas, we lost our beloved cat, Oscar, unexpectedly and completely without warning. My heart was broken, and I couldn't believe how much sadness we both felt. The weeks went on and I stopped crying, but only on the outside. The house became empty and quiet, its character gone.
I had been perusing the Animal Humane Society website for kitties and kept going back to this one black kitty with yellow eyes and a sweet face who, at the time, was named Hopper. On the morning of February 13, 2011, I had only one mission... to go get Hopper. We drove to Coon Rapids and waited for the doors to open. The staff was incredible - kind, compassionate about their work, and knowledgeable about each and every animal. After about an hour, we were on our way home with our beautiful black kitty who we now call Charlie.
Charlie has given us so much. He is a funny, inquisitive, playful, charming, and loving kitty who makes us laugh and warms our hearts. I can't imagine him anywhere else but here. Every animal at AHS has a story, and most animals have a personality longing to blossom, just as Charlie has. They just need a loving home. And while we feel so thankful we gave Charlie a new home, without a doubt, he has given us way more than we have given him.
