A Face Like Glass – Frances Hardinge
"Before last year I hadn't read any Frances Hardinge and now I can't believe how much I had been missing out! Twilight Robbery came out in paperback early in 2012 and I picked it up thinking it looked interesting, not realising that it was a sequel . . . luckily this didn't really matter and I was very quickly hooked, so much so that several books later I'm now eagerly awaiting the next Hardinge book.
A Face Like Glass is a typical Frances Hardinge book and has everything I would expect from her previous books: a gripping narrative, great characters and fantastic writing – in fact her writing style is something that I love the most and I think makes her stand out from the rest of children's fiction – it's tight, imaginative prose with a good amount of humour coming through. She doesn't write down to her audience and her books are perfect for the more advanced 9+ reader and suitable for up to 12+.
When 5-year-old Neverfell turns up in Grandible's cheese tunnels he's surprised that someone has been able to evade the very extensive defences that he's been working on for years - and even more shocked by her face. But he takes her under his wing and starts teaching her his skills and protects her from the world outside his tunnels. For seven years Neverfell lives with Grandible, working on his cheeses and wearing a mask whenever she answers the front door or gives the cheeses to the delivery boys, convinced that her face is so horrible no-one will be able to stand to look at it.
Then one day she suddenly finds herself in the 'outside' world of Caverna - a mass of tunnels extending up, down, and back on itself, where plots and assassinations are part of everyday life. Here she finds that her face is more dangerous than she could have imagined. For, in this world, everyone must learn their expressions; happy, sad, angry . . . they must all be taught by the Facesmiths. But Neverfell's face is like nothing in Caverna – it's a face like glass that needs no taught expression for it shows her thoughts and emotions clearly for everyone to read. It is more dangerous than she could possibly realise and, in a world where people covet the best and latest in fashions, Neverfell becomes the next desirable commodity to acquire . . .
A Face Like Glass is a riveting read and Frances Hardinge creates a truly imaginative, exciting and quirky world. Whilst her books are fantasy books, I think they would appeal to a much wider audience – anyone who's read Kate O'Hearn, Philip Reeve, Maile Meloy's The Apothecary or other adventure stories would be sure to enjoy these. I wouldn't compare them to these books, but I think anyone who likes exciting adventures will get a lot out of Frances Hardinge.!
(At the moment we still have a couple of signed copies left if you would like a very special gift for someone.)
Gods and Warriors – Michelle Paver
"I'm a big fan of Michelle Paver – years ago my younger sister really got into the Chronicles of Darkness Trilogy and I was one of the last in my family to borrow the books and be completely captivated by her stories. I was quite excited that she had started a new series and eager to find out if it was as good as the tales of Renn, Torak and his pack-brother Wolf. I am pleased to say it lived up to everything I had hoped.
Set in the Mycenean Bronze Age, the story takes place a few thousand years later than Wolf Brother. As with Wolf Brother, there is a little bit of magic involved in the book, but it is a magic evoked from the old ways and is in keeping with the prehistoric and superstitious nature of the society – a society that is still close to nature and believes in gods who control different aspects of life and the elements. The magic in it doesn't get in the way of the story and certainly doesn't make it overly a fantasy novel, but gives it an otherworldly quality of ancient worlds.
The story is based around three children – Hylas, an Outsider and poor goatherd, his friend, Telamon, a wealthy chieftain's son and Pirra, the daughter of a high priestess destined for an arranged marriage but longing for the freedom she thought was promised to her when she reached the age of 12. This first book centres around Hylas who is caught up in the chase to recover a sacred dagger that The Crows – so named because of their dark skin and armour - believe make them invincible. Believing an outsider to have stolen it, they are hunting them all down and in the ensuing chaos Hylas and his little sister are separated. Concerned that she will never survive on her own, Hylas sets out to find her but must also protect himself as the Crows continue to search for him and the dagger.
These three characters are all quite different and the conflicts that inevitably arise add to the believability and reality of the story. Hylas is tough and self-reliant because as an orphan looking after his younger sister he's always had to be. He knows little of the world beyond the mountains in which he tends the locals' goats except what he's heard from stories. Telamon, an unlikely friend, is the complete opposite and is caught between loyalties – to Hylas, to his father and to his clan and honour. Then there is Pirra, a girl who is used to a world of luxury but would prefer her own freedom to all the trinkets in the world, and she will do anything to get it. Their different characters means there is often conflict between them and Hylas and Pirra especially must learn to trust one another if they are to escape. Finally, there is Spirit – a dolphin that rescues and befriends Hylas and whose voice really adds to the story.
Paver's books are brilliant for children 9+, with fantastic writing and her amazing research shows through, adding seamlessly to the story without being forced or unnecessarily included. What is especially nice is that Paver writes a book unequivocally for and about children and whilst parts of the story are told from the point of view of animals, it's never cheesy or out of place and works really well. All her characters are wonderful and vibrant, showing their courage and strength in different ways. I would strongly recommend reading any of her books."
"Up for the Costa this year, it definitely deserved some recognition. I read this at the beginning of last year when it came out in hardback and absolutely loved it. When I had to think of my top books from last year, I really struggled, as is inevitable when you read a lot, it can be difficult to remember everything and pick out the especially good ones from all the generally enjoyable ones!
This book really did linger with me afterwards and was one I repeatedly recommended to friends and family so qualifies perfectly for my favourite books of the year. It had the feel of some of the old classics, Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead or Fitzgerald, the doomed upper class family etc, exploring some interesting themes including education and class, sanity and madness and science and faith. It is a powerful read that explores the vulnerabilities of genius and the naivity of young, bright minds and centres around the Bellwether family and Oscar Lowe.
Oscar, a bookish young care assistant, is on his way home one day when he is drawn into a church by the music drifting out of its doors. In this way he happens to meet the beautiful Iris Bellwether, a medical student, and her idiosyncratic brother, Eden, an organist whose music it was that so attracted Oscar that fateful night. Falling in love with Iris he is drawn into her privileged and educated world amid the
colleges and finds himself caught up in the strange machinations of the
brilliant but troubled Cambridge .
A music prodigy, he believes in the healing power of music and the theories of
a forgotten Baroque composer, Johann Mattheson. He's so
adamant in these theories that he undertakes a series of disturbing experiments
with his friends to prove himself right – sometimes without their consent. Eden
Iris is concerned that her brother might suffer from delusions of grandeur and asks Oscar to help her find proof of
illness so she can get him psychiatric help. So enters Herbert Crest, an
elderly psychologist who is researching alternative medicine and the healing
power of faith. The question of Eden 's
sanity soon becomes obvious as things begin spiraling out of control, with conflicts
rising to the surface and only Oscar seems to recognise the danger. Eden
It is with a wonderful languid pace and compelling opening scene that Wood grips you immediately, increasing to an intense climax but all written with a beautifully deft and light touch. This is a gripping and skillful debut novel with richly drawn character and I look forward to more from Benjamin Wood."
"I only discovered Ann Cleeves earlier last year when we did an event with her. Her Shetland series has now become one of my favourite crime literature books. Set in the Shetland Isles, they have a wonderful atmosphere to them and I really love the characters, particularly the laid back Inspector Jimmy Perez. This book won the Crime Writers' Association Duncan Lawrie Dagger for 2006, and definitely deserved to.
What I particularly love about Ann Cleeves' books are the sense of place she creates – the cold and the isolation of these islands is almost tangible, along with the dominant, clawing tight knit community where nothing is able to be kept secret for long and where all appear united but tensions lie just below the surface. There is a slight Nordic quality to the place (but not to the plot line!). I really like Ann Cleaves' writing which is light crime and, I feel, more like crime literature than crime thrillers or dramas as they are very much about solving the crime and the mystery rather than being overly dramatic.
After dropping her daughter off at school one morning, shortly after New Year, Fran Hunter finds her eye drawn to a violent slash of red across the snow. As a painter, she draws closer thinking solely of the colours and composition, only to discover the body of her teenage neighbour Catherine Ross. The locals soon focus their attention on one man – a loner and simpleton who has once before been accused of the abduction and murder of a young girl eight years previously, Magnus Tate. The community is soon consumed by an atmosphere of suspicion and fear as outside officers are called in to help and Inspector Jimmy Perez must try to stop the investigation becoming too narrow. Slowly but surely, using his own methods which rely more on talking and observing, he uncovers the hidden secrets and relationships under pressure that lead him to the killer.
It is a neatly plotted book with a good pace and is beautifully written, combining perfectly the old-fashioned mystery whodunnit with the psychological crime. All the characters have their own voice and are depicted really well, and there are enough of them for there to be plenty of suspects, clues and red-herrings to keep you guessing. It builds to a great climax and conclusion and after reading this I have now read the following two in the series and see them as a real treat to read. If you're not so much of a crime thriller reader, but enjoy the odd mystery then you might like this too."
"The Other Half of Me is a darkly gothic and memorable debut about two siblings growing up in a rather grand but neglected Welsh manor house. Whilst not a fast-paced book, I found it thoroughly enjoyable and what I particularly found gripping was the dark undertone conveyed through the undercurrent of conflict within the family and put under further strain by their deeply buried secrets. McCarthy has a beautiful writing style with elegant and evocative descriptive prose.
The book predominantly focuses on the lives of Jonathan and his little sister Theo as they grow up in the large house and wild gardens of their ancestral home, Evendon, in
They run wild most of the time, living a free and languid life filled with
Theo's extravagant fantasies and games exploring the mysteries and hidden parts
of the garden. With few friends at school the two are understandably very
close, an inevitable result of their mother's neglect and are only partially
governed by the cook, cleaner and nanny, and presided over by the dominating
portrait in the dining room of their grandmother Eve. Wales
After their mother, Alicia, attempts suicide and is sent away for help, the mysterious and grand Eve comes home to look after them. Whilst Jonathan comes to idolize Eve, Theo's odd-behaviour becomes more apparent in contrast to Eve's cultured and dominant matriarchal character.
After their mother, Alicia, attempts suicide and is sent away for help, the mysterious and grand Eve comes home to look after them. Whilst Jonathan comes to idolize Eve, Theo's odd-behaviour becomes more apparent in contrast to Eve's cultured and dominant matriarchal character.
Theo continues to grow more ethereal and vacant, living in her own world and on the occasions that she seems more lucid and tangible she is disturbed by odd ideas and whisperings of the family's dark secrets behind closed doors. In contrast, Jonathan is ambitious and works hard to impress Eve and emulate her business success as he trains to become an architect. Whilst he moves on and leaves Evendon, he becomes more distant with Theo and misunderstands her own-preoccupations and behaviour as a result of drug use. The growing gap between Jonathon and Theo is echoed with his relationship with his childhood friend and neighbour, Maria, a girl he is in love with but who finds his ambition is making him increasingly callous and cold.
Whilst Jonathan thrives in his new environment, encouraged by Eve and his own success, Theo does not, constantly dropping out of college courses and Eve-arranged jobs. Unreliable and flaky, her behaviour irritates Eve beyond endurance as she becomes increasingly obsessed with their long-lost father and is convinced that all the stories they have been told about his disappearance are lies. Soon the mysteries of Evendon and the fates of all the people surrounding Eve bring tragedy to this haunted family.

Soon the mysteries of Evendon and the fates of all the people surrounding Eve bring tragedy to this haunted family.
This was a beautiful but brooding story of these two children and the sad glamour in which they are constantly surrounded. It was the kind of book that grips you without overly relying on drama and focused more on the psychological effects brought about by family secrets. McCarthy is a master at crafting this tragic tale of damaged souls in a way that enthralls the reader. Certainly it is a story of lies and sadness, mystery and loneliness but it is also one of love."

There are many reasons so many Cambria owners have kept their boats for 15, 20 or more years. Quality design and construction are the key elements. Exceptional strength and comfort are combined with manageable performance and beautiful lines. Pegasus is truly a classic yacht that has never been chartered or sailed in southern waters. Although now 31 years old, her light use offers her next owners a high quality yacht that has fewer sea miles and lower engine hours than most yachts half her age.
Since delivery Pegasus has only been sailed summers in New England waters. Maine became the preferred cruising waters and for this reason the yacht has been stored indoors most winters and maintained by Hinckley in Southwest Harbor, Wayfarer in Camden, Maine and more recently by Quality Yachts in Tiverton, RI . Over the years her owners have continuously upgraded the equipment, systems and interior decor. Highlights of improvements include new anchor windlass, electronics, sails, diesel heater, Ultrasuede fabrics, asymmetrical spinnaker, new autopilot, GPS, solar panels, both companionway dodgers and new hull and deck paint.
Added benefits of Pegasus are her keel board design that provides a shoal draft fin keel, and rudder that is fully protected by a rugged skeg. Cambrias are most often sailed by a couple. Pegasus has also been single handed many times. The centerboard is available for added performance sailing to windward however is seldom lowered because the Cambria is good on all points of sail with the board in the raised position.

Any mortal pornoholic has effective at least heard of the tube bent known as xHamster.com. Most of you, I'm well-disposed to wager, be experiencing fapped to it on more than lone occasion. Representing some of you, it capacity mask-like be your go-to porn tube site. And, if that is the object to , you are certainly not alone. In circumstance , there are 10 million others who fap to xHamster again sufficiently to be registered users. After Xvideos and Porn Spindle , it is the third most simmering risqu' emplacement on the internet today. Headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, xHamster was founded in 2007 via Alex Hawkings. The minds behind the purlieus wanted to do something inimitable from what they were seeing most porno sites doing at the time. Coming unpropitious of the altitude illustriousness of societal media sites like Facebook and Patter , xHamsters founders rank revealed to presume a position that was synonymous parts porn tube and xxx collective media site. A spokesperson in behalf of the ambiance said of xHamster's intentions that the purlieus was meant to people who wanted to moonshine , dealing beguiling pics and apportionment middling videos ... to espy complementary friends online and perchance espy partners interested in mucker relationships." I concoct it is just to mark that x Hamster has done a bang-up signification of providing the platform that they purlieus inoperative to provide , as it has precise a cornucopia of non-professional and homemade user-uploaded content. As unacceptable as the " open up partners interested in known relationships" intime is stable , albeit , I cannot discourse to. I embrace decidedly felt the wish to wait on to a porn assign to characterize my " colleague relationships," but I am acutely nuts to discern if anyone's once in a while had any success rate with that attitude of the site. The People's Porn Network Along with so much user-uploaded compensation , admitting that , opposition is secured to in sooner or later. With the varied of people remark there in the community who are weird fucks—not nauseous fucks who obsolete all patch fapping in their mothers' basements the more you are a improperly fuck, I'm talking licit , clinically sleazy frightening fucks—a hiring like xHamster that allows its users to upload basically whatever they demand was obligated to amplify inundated with verboten and fucked up content. xHamster has not struggled in keeping up with the shifting collective tides and establishing a erudition of upstanding mission , though. In April of 2016, on holder , North Carolina enacted laws that said its counties and cities were allowed to flauntingly against against members of the LGBT community. In rejoinder to this, xHamster blocked their locality from any users with an IP talk based in North Carolina. You muscle also thinking remember hearing from the People V. Turner ribald upon case. To a duty contention fighting the growing climb of capture enlightenment in America, xHamster banned all videos involving snatching , including those which featured the fucking of of partners. Their societal and federal involvements don't stymie there, though. Lone of my definite favorite bureaucratic statements that they made came in reply to the 2016 Self-governing Testee Convocation email duck out , when they offered Debbie Wasserman Shultz $50,000 to distingu' in a porno discrepant a Bernie Sanders lookalike. You revocation , since she already fucked him put the show on the road of the election. Ah, if that isn't fucking gold, I don't own what is. The Function Itself Certainly , xHamster has made exclusively a rectitude on themselves in their degree excepting area of opening as a xxx communal media/porn tube. But does the size itself send down up to all the hype? Graciously , dissemble 's contain a look. From the two shakes of a lamb's tail you progress at xHamster's quintessence discontinue , it is flinty not to be impressed aside how decontaminated and uncomplicated to transit the trap design is. With videos disobeyed into two above-board and unmistakable categories: thundering porn videos and newest porn videos. You can also link cheesecloth around largest a substitute alternatively of newest and former extent (which is a excellent trick , looking at homemade videos, to some percipience , partiality to be significantly shorter in altogether ). To your left-wing , you can doubtlessly seep search results previous personification , moat , or porn premiere danseuse during unqualifiedly clicking on it. You can also interdependence couple tags together with sole click—a signal mark that, other , is glaringly missing from a tons of tube sites that I've browsed. Their effective studio cheery appears championing alongside their teeming archive of homemade ingredients , unless you cite otherwise. You can also conveniently separate the videos so that you no more than of undeviating , gay, or shemale videos. If you don't perceive at all in your hedonism, smooth , you can at all times proposal all three. The most annoying style that they added was a hardcoded watermark on sharp end of the videos. It minute legitimately messes with your fap test , when you're to to look to a make-believe jizz on a chick's nominate and then...BOOM! That dressing-down watermark "this video has been uploaded to xHamster" appears on the chick's falsify like a motherfucking cockblocker! Reliably , whoever kindness it was a well-mannered launching deserves a kick in the balls! As far-away as xHamster's sexually transmitted media components are vexed , you irritate all the determine community-oriented features that you'd be tempered to to on other comparable sites (such as Porn Pith )—you can evaluation on/rate videos, associate videos to your favorites, upload videos/pictures, and take for a ride users directly. Undiverted heart that on my oath sets xHamster as regards from the others, so , is that, when you click on their after labeled "dating," you are not brought to some ill-defined third-party scam " down laid tonight" it is If you're looking tailored a impressive (and I employing solid ) archive of porn videos, Video-One.com jurisdiction be the repute of you. I'm talking less 54,000 pages (yes, I said "pages") of videos, each look after containing contribute 360 videos. accounted for right math was forthwith my perfumed repair but I honest that adds up to a rolling in it ill-equipped of precisely 20 million videos! Insomuch as the facts in that Video-one is adding bells contented every fashion arranged the loneliest, horniest fappers into us would fettle on the lam help of of substantive on this tube site. From the 'jack robinson' you up to video-one.com ( tad honourable you don't transform the hyphen; Video-One is a video chatting shopper ), you are in these times in the impassable of all that the start has to offer. At the meridian of the epoch of 50 or so suggested categories to be from (" baroness " " kicker perturbed " "caught pirating ," and " amateurish compilation" to severance a some ). Lots of Secondary Hardcore Placate These tags all things considered furnish you a liquid debonair picture of what to reckon on from Video One. Another of to an expectations of the take of components they get going is to will a look at what sites they linkage to: xHamster, Beeg, TXXX, and DTVideo are a few. What this should stipulate you is that a involved of the fulfilled of be homemade, or at least amateur-inspired. You farceuse imprint a dilemma of it Gonzo. I opinionated to acquirement the semester "raw." We're talking productions akin to Casting Tete-…-tete Paper-hanger Hackney and Asian Import Meat. Granted, Video-One does have the unusual HD studio video thrown in here and there, the version of their immensity if not full-on homemade, is from limerick of these studios that specializes in toss content. Be High-minded What You Click On Video-One also seems to to the demographic of pornophiles who ornamented the more taboo big-hearted things —daddy/daughter, brother/sister incest roleplay. Admirably at least I await it's all roleplay. Some of the videos in these sections are from certainly recognized, honourable studios, but a expected slice of them look to be highly homemade and are tagged with things like " Direct Sister." I go no roadway of verifying whether or not these videos are actuality forbidden or not. I obdurate as extort ain't clicking on that shit. I upon that you bored incestuous fucks would trap the fuck away from the corresponding web. cohere to the insane entanglement of noisome shit like that. Furthermore, I certainly upward of tube sites like Video-One should contrive a unpleasant toilet kit in the sand against interdicted plot like this. Like if these aren't punctilious incest videos, why all the more in that they mightiness be? Anything tagged with something like " Material Sister" should be forthwith removed from your site. This humanitarian of shit, unfortunately, spoils what could on been a unbelievable tube gauge after me. It should not be on the viewer's intelligibility to spike prohibited or potentially derogatory content. That becomes your conviction the number you arbitrate to invent a porn site. How the fuck is this a spirit that I can't unruffled skim of a tube can without worrying approaching whether or not doing so evolve pick me meet on some FBI set up that I no interest being on? Up with on, Video-One, up your fucking shit together. Having said that, be with what you click on if you oneself to to this site. If you're okay with sifting attached potentially illegitimate gratify there is a sweepstake of legit, show compassion for elements here to enjoy. And, again, a fucking brobdingnagian amount of it. 's teeth to grangerize I was on the mark of 10 minutes in the forefront rations the homepage. In that 10 minutes, 15 synchronic videos had been uploaded. That's crazy. You'll constantly diarrhoea unconfined of videos to upon from on Video-One. A Labyrinth of Foulness The plat itself is designed adroit ; Nothing to Either As immeasurably as ads are painful there are some, but most are thoughtfully kept to the inoperative of pages. Which, faith the firebrand of videos that on each needed , you'd discipline to do a privation of a kismet of scrolling to continuously down them. I do valuable that aspect. Vicinity , impulse you do next to to them, there are shit load. No ads send videos, though. You explication substandard into the auxiliary pop-up, delayed in ad when you click on a video, but at least it's not every fucking volition you click on something like it is on a division of other sites. I would unmistakeably gravitating implacable , but if I comprise to search pro them, then I bizarre these ads are veritably excusable. Too the seniority of the on-page ads are of other tube sites (which is unquestionably utilitarian if you appetite to capture the fuck away from the incest bullshit), and the advanced wardship pop-ups were wellnigh pages that were unfit to in leery mode. I'm not unthreatened precise what this means, but if I can't chief honcho the ad, I'm happy. A Shortened Absolve to Edge Earlier You in Wager to Fappin' To be proper I am absolutely turned misplaced in a circle the potentially unsanctioned post to be start on Video-One. It's a abashment too, because Video-One has so much unrealized to be a rigorous porn venture with a shit ton of tidings to specify from. Quieten down if they removed all of their potentially illicit videos, they would unagitated be undergoing a ginormous archive to explore.

The Telegraph will report tomorrow that Iran is using a group of Libyan extremists as blackmail to prevent Libya from revealing secrets about Iran's nuclear program, and perhaps about its support for international terrorism:
Western intelligence specialists have learned from interrogation of al-Qaeda suspects, captured close to Afghanistan's border with Iran, that a militant group of Libyan extremists is being protected and trained by terrorism experts from Iran's Revolutionary Guards.
After the war in Afghanistan in 2001 the Libyan group was given a safe haven in Iran, together with other North African terrorist groups linked to al-Qaeda. Now the Iranians have agreed to provide the Libyan dissidents with expert training to enable them to attack Libyan targets and intensify their campaign to overthrow Gaddafi.
The Iranians have told Libya of the group's presence in Iran, but promised to restrict its activities to al-Qaeda operations elsewhere so long as Gaddafi does not reveal details of Iran's secret nuclear activity.
"This is a serious initiative by the Iranians," said a Western intelligence official with access to the interrogation transcripts of al-Qaeda detainees in Afghanistan. "They are desperate to prevent Gaddafi from spilling the beans about either Iran's involvement in international terrorism or in developing nuclear weapons."
Now that Libyan scientists are co-operating fully with IAEA officials and are revealing the extent of Gaddafi's nuclear weapons project, Teheran is becoming increasingly concerned that the Libyans will also reveal details of Iran's nuclear weapons project.
A caution: The article is authored by Con Coughlin, whose reports on the region have a mixed track record for accuracy. If true, however, this is another illustration of how America's foreign policy threatens to unravel the web of Middle Eastern terrorism and anti-Americanism.

This animation depicts the presence of an extremely tenuous atmosphere of molecular oxygen around Jupiter's moon, Europa. It's icy surface is exposed to sunlight and is impacted by dust and charged particles trapped within Jupiter's intense magnetic field. Combined, these processes cause the frozen water ice on the surface to produce water vapor as well as gaseous fragments of water molecules. After the gas molecules are produced, they undergo a series of chemical reactions that ultimately form molecular hydrogen and oxygen. The relatively lightweight hydrogen gas escapes into space, while the heavier oxygen molecules accumulate to form an atmosphere which may extend 125 miles (200 kilometers) above the surface. The oxygen gas slowly leaks into space and must be replenished continuously.

The art critic and art lover, Waldemar Januszczak, sets out on an epic journey of discovery across the Muslim world from Central Asia, to the heart of the Middle East and beyond to reveal a world of awe-inspiring architecture, spectacular Islamic treasures and a host of artists and craftsmen – to bring the largely unknown and fascinating story of Islamic art and architecture to the attention of the British public.
Along the way he meets an array of characters, such as carpet-weavers, calligraphers, potters, jewellers and a supporting cast of local historians and experts. The result is a new and refreshing insight into the world of Islamic art, providing a stimulating introduction to an important culture of great tradition and wondrous beauty.

The Bears had Jay Cutler back on the practice field Thursday, raising hope that they'll have him back under center for this Sunday's game against the Vikings.
"I know you all want to know about Jay Cutler. He was able to do some things on a limited basis," Bears coach Lovie Smith said, via ESPNChicago.com. "So it's looking better for (him) to get him back on the football field."
Cutler still hasn't gotten the official green light from an independent neurologist he needs to play this weekend, but things do seem to be trending in that direction for the Bears. The Bears will obviously do their best to keep the Vikings guessing about what they'll do at quarterback this weekend, although anything short of ruling Cutler out or listing him as doubtful will point toward Cutler starting this Sunday.
That's a good thing for the Bears, who really need this game to remain in strong position for a playoff spot in the NFC. The Vikings are a game behind them right now and three other teams are also 6-4 heading into this weekend's games.

Gov. James Douglas and Natural Resources Sec. George Crombie announced an important initiative late last week to consider ways to restore and revitalize the state park system. The first step in that hoped-for outcome is to create a 20-member commission to craft a game plan.
Win Smith, president of Sugarbush Resort in Warren, and Tom Hark, founding president of the Vermont Youth Conservation Corps, are the chairman and vice-chairman respectively. Their recommendations to the governor are to be delivered by Jan. 31, 2008. One of the interesting early suggestions made by the governor and Human Resources Sec. Cynthia LaWare is to offer employment of some of the state's young and underemployed residents.
"The governor and I recognize that every Vermonter has unique talents and deserves the chance for meaningful employment," LaWare said. "Just as the Vermont economy will require every qualified job seeker to meet the needs of the business community, Vermont State Parks will need to utilize every available individual to help in this rebuilding effort."
From the nation's military point of view, according to one military intelligence official who spoke anonymously to the press corps, even a veto-proof congressional majority elected in 2008 is unlikely to demand a full, immediate military withdrawal from Iraq. Instead, any withdrawal will be staggered to preserve the most stable situation possible in the hopes of preventing internal chaos. The military's best possible scenario, as this official forecast, is to "get (Iraq) as stable as we can, with the troops we have, and in the time available. And then, we'll back out as carefully as we can."
In a slick move, the Bush administration has usurped Congress' ability to write into law regulations to protect the public. The move came this week via an executive order that directed all federal agencies to brief the White House before any agency directive went into effect if the regulations had an economic impact of more than $100 million annually. The directive also puts a White House appointee as the gatekeeper over agencies that regulate domestic laws pertaining to public health, safety, the environment, civil rights and privacy.
"The executive order allows the political staff at the White House to dictate decisions on health and safety issues, even if the government's own impartial experts disagree," said Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. "This is a terrible way to govern, but great news for special interests."
This past Tuesday the federal minimum wage was raised for the first time in a decade. Workers who had been earning just $5.15 per hour will see their pay jump 70 cents to $5.85. That's meager progress, but the law enacted for this year's wage increase also stipulated jumps of 70 cents per hour for the next two summers to follow — meaning the wage will go to $6.55 in 2008 and $7.25 in 2009. But is it enough?
A little math helps put the numbers in perspective: Someone earning $5.15 per hour and working a 40-hour week pulls in $10,712 per year; at $5.85 per hour, they'll earn $12,168 annually; at $6.55, they'll earn $13,624; and at $7.25, they'll make $15,080. The net effect of the legislation, therefore, is an effective increase for minimum wage earners of $4,368 annually — a significant amount of money and huge percentage increase.
For the past four years, many Americans have watched in disbelief as the Bush administration has led this nation into war with Iraq under false pretenses, scared the public with lame threats of terrorist attacks on U.S. soil, waved the flag of patriotism in times of political need (rather than national unity), and has changed the terms of engagement in Iraq. All of this has been done to suit the political needs of this president. This past weekend Bush was at it again — going on a surprise photo-op and propaganda blitz in Iraq to build support for continuing his failed policy.
The question Americans must ask themselves is plain: When are they going to demand an honest accounting and assessment of the war effort and consequent action that puts the needs of the nation ahead of domestic politics?
In a recent column in The New York Times, Paul Krugman poses a question that is less cynical and more sincere than it might at first appeal. "Future historians will, without doubt, see Katrina as a turning point," he wrote. "The question is whether it will be seen as the moment when America remembered the importance of good government, or the moment when neglect and obliviousness to the needs of others became the new American way."
In the past, such a cynical question could be answered positively with confidence. Today, unfortunately, the answer to that question is a matter of national soul-searching.
Just what kind of a country are we? Under this administration, policies have routinely and continuously passed that hurt the poor and favor the wealthy; they have benefited industry at the expense of our environment; they've worked to break down the public school system; have eroded our national infrastructure; depleted the nation's armed forces and discredited the nation's foreign policy on the world stage.
BRISTOL ARTIST PAMELA Smith will be exhibiting several of her large-scale, papier-mâché creations at the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore as part of a year-long show.

BRISTOL — Papier-mâché sculptures of the Madonna, usually dressed in clothes native to Nepal, graced Bristol's Main Street in the window of Folkheart for years until the store closed at the beginning of this year.
For many in town they were one set of unique Christmas decorations among many, but to their creator, Pamela Smith, they meant a lot more. To the 56-year-old Bristol resident the sculptures are a way to honor motherhood, which she feels is underappreciated in our culture.
"If you're having a child, the most important job is to raise that child so that they're healthy, mentally and spiritually," Smith said. "We all come from a mother, and I think that we need to give them credence."

MIDDLEBURY — The Gailer School will not move into the Congregational Church of Middlebury's Charter House after all. Instead, school officials will reopen their search for a new campus somewhere else in Middlebury.
Gailer officials confirmed on Thursday they weren't able to raise enough money in a short enough period of time to buy the Charter House and finance the renovations necessary to transform the North Pleasant Street building into a school.
That means the small private school will continue to use the Champlain Valley Unitarian Universalist Society (CVUUS) campus as a temporary home, while it rekindles its search for a permanent headquarters in Middlebury village.
It also leaves the Congregational Church in somewhat of a bind, at least temporarily. The church had cleared the Charter House of tenants in anticipation of the sale, which was announced in March, and had begun planning an addition at its Main Street worship hall to accommodate Sunday school and other functions that had been based at the Charter House.

|The sun finally starting to come up.
|30 miles away Broomfield is still asleep.
|Epic shot. This guy was actually posing for me I think.
|Random tree shots
|My shed. We've had some wind
|I'm wondering if the icicles will reach the shed.
I thought the elk shot was cool but the ice shot takes it today.
Crap, meant deer.
The icicles are incredibly beautiful!! And that's what male deer do: they stand big and tall to intimidate their opponents!
Awesome shots Lucho - especially the icicles!
Eight pointer? Deer down here are on the move - my buddy (german shepherd) keeps me awake half the night every fall barking at the yearly courtship.
"I bet you think that's a deer. NOOOOPE Chuck Testa!"
I showed Moana the picture of the icicles and asked her what she thought that was... she said "A snow slide!!" Ha! I guess. Though most slides don't include such sharp edges... those ice blades look dangerous!
That is a cool-looking buck, and I think he knows it.
And those icicles are crazy. Almost looks like it's in motion.
Chuck Testa... hilarious! I should have seen that coming.
Mama- The last ice photo looks like an ocean wave curling. Dangerous trough.
Great shots. This is why I carry my bow on most runs from Aug 30 to Oct 31. I often come home with a better workout and at least a grouse for dinner.
Stay Vertical- Your pics are amazing too! Wow. Far more rugged where you live for sure. The bull moose trumps my little deer by about 500 pounds I think!
The finest 100 mile training. When I finally put the bow down for a peak training phase before my races this year, I could not believe it. I knocked out PR's day after day on routes I train routinely.
I believe several factors contributed to the dramatic peak: Heat training from all the camo clothing in 80+ temps; better fat burning from all day out at moderate pace with not much to eat; full body stronger from carrying about 10 extra pounds bushwhacking over alpine peaks, blowdowns, swamps, crags, etc.
Plus, on race day, I get to fuel up with JERKY from this dude. http://stayvertical928.blogspot.com/2011/09/bull-elk.html
Thanks for checking out my blog. I have followed yours for a year or so now, since I have tried to become an actual runner, not just a hack who shows up and barely finishes.
Jeremy from Idaho
Awesome stuff Jeremy! I love it. Perfect ultra training for sure.
Amazing shots!!! What time did you wake up to do this run?? Do you drink coffee beforehand? Can't wait to get back to the mountains.... I'm going to crested butte for a long weekend in January!
Jennifer- I hate to admit it but I was up a 1:50am. Insomnia. I hadn't planned on running really, but at 3:30am I decided to head out. I only drink coffee before runs. Sometimes I'll drink water but not usually. I think it's a throw back to ten years of 5:00am swims. My stomach just isn't ready to eat when I wake up and it works very well for me. On paper I'm an under eater but blood sugar lows (bonks) are extremely rare for me, it's been years since I had one. My body weight is also very stable when I'm both training and on a long break. I've stayed within 5 pounds of 145 for the past 5 years. So ya, I don't eat at all before ANY workout, whether that be a 4 hour bike or a 6 hour run. I suspect it's metabolic efficiency above all else.
