Alyssa HurleyEdit
custom_speech: m14v06a: Oh Alfred...why, why? (Sobs) Why couldn't it have been me who died? How can I go on without my dearest brother?
custom_speech: m14v06b: (Hushed tones) I won't tell them, Alfred. The Hammerites will never know your secret, and you'll get a proper burial, too. That will be my final gift to you.
custom_speech: m14v06c: Oh, why is it taking so long? Haven't they destroyed all the zombies yet? I can't go on much longer. (Crying).
custom_speech: m14v06d: Do you remember, brother dear, when we were just children? The songs we'd sing...the games we'd play? You'd pretend to be the boogie man, or I'd be the old gray lady come to take your skin...such...(sobs) good times....
custom_speech: m14v06e: (Hushed tones) I know in your heart you were never truly...(very quietly) Pagan. (Resuming previous tones) How could you be? And I've told the Hammerites you died trying to help a child out of collapsing building.
custom_speech: m12v12a: Garrett. I have troubling news. The Hammerites and the Pagans have discovered it was you who stole their artifacts. Both factions are very angry. However, they are willing to overlook your recent crimes, if you are willing to aid them by performing specific tasks. Until then, beware, for they will attack you on sight. A Hammerite named Inspector Drept wrote this missive for me to deliver to you. I contacted a Pagan shaman named Dyan, and she agreed to post a similar note for you on the outskirts of the Pagan territory in the Docks. I have done what I can to aid you. Farewell and good luck.
custom_speech: m12v24a: You've returned with the Artifacts, Garrett. Excellent. Follow me.
custom_speech: m11v73a: Oh, it's just you. At first I thought somebody had broken in or something. Well, good evening.
custom_speech: m11v20a: They said the thief who stole the Widow Moira's fortune lives around here. I'll find him. Make him sorry he ever set foot in her house.
custom_speech: m11v20b: What kind of a hoodlum steals every last dime from a poor senseless widow? The kind that needs to be taught a lesson. And that's just what I'll do when I find this Garrett.
custom_speech: m11v20c: Steal from the Widow Moira, will he? Think she's too far gone to have any good guards left in the arsenal? Well...you've made a big mistake, Garrett. A big mistake. Now you have to deal with Curtis, and I ain't as nice as the Widow.
custom_speech: m11v20d: Seems like even thieves oughta have some kind of code they live by...some kind of line they don't cross. Stealing the Widow Moira's inheritance oughta be over that line. Well, if Garrett don't have a code he lives by...let's see if he's got one he can die by....
custom_speech: m11v20e: That thief thinks he just took Widow Moira's money, but without that money she'll lose her house, her servants, everything! Ol' Curtis is gonna fix it so he can't ever hurt no one like that again!
custom_speech: m11v20f: After I kill that Garrett...maybe I'll find some of that inheritance money he took from the Widow. Sure...there could still be some left, maybe enough to get her back on her feet.
custom_speech: m15v05b: Garrett, I bes Dyan, priestesses of them green.
custom_speech: m15v05c: My amulet bes will open them greensy vines on them cityhead pumphouse.
custom_speech: m15v05d: Garrett, we bes thanker you for all you have donesy for us. We Pagans bes not forgetting.
custom_speech: m15v05e: Someday you may bes needering our helps. And helps you will having...as long as you bes staying on our goodsy side.
custom_speech: m15v05f: I bes had a visioning, Garrett, of them future. The abomination bes spawned many many mores...them feeders on us all...bes us leafed or fleshed...until all that bes left...bes them evilings....
custom_speech: m15v05g: I bes sealed them manfools' canal building with magicker vines...yes...not because it bes builted by them hammerheads, buts because of what bes hidering near theres...them evils...them abomination.
custom_speech: m15v05a: Bes I had a visioning, Garrett. You wanting to finder them abomination, yes? You bes needsy then my amulet. It bes opens them vines that guardsy them manfool's canal building. Takesy it...you bes earned it.
custom_speech: m15v07a: Bes the visionings come more frequently...bes they more troubling...something bes coming...something unnaturalling....
custom_speech: m15v07b: More Pagans bes lost every day...their sap bes on my hands...for I bes their leader, their priestesses, their greening....
custom_speech: m15v07c: Maybe Larkspur bes right...I bes delayed too long...waiting...waitings for what? Now them Hammerites bes strongered too....
custom_speech: m15v07d: Oh, Woodsie King, come to me nows...council me...giver me them visionings...leadsy us to them greening days....
custom_speech: m15v07e: I must meeting with them Shamans...giver them news...teller them of my visionings....
custom_speech: m15v07f: Why bes Garrett so much in my visionings...why bes them visionings so troubled...bes more than just the Hammers to fear....
Edwina MoiraEdit
custom_speech: m05v01a: Did you hear that? Ginny? Ginny, come quick, I heard a sound, like a voice, carried on the wind. It was Robert, I'm sure of it. Don't tell me it was a trick of the wind, I know the difference! No, I will not come down.
custom_speech: m05v01b: (Singing) The sailor from the shanty town, he sails upon the sea, his boat is black his skin is brown, oh bring him back to me.... (Giggles).
custom_speech: m05v01c: You'll never believe it, Robert, the servants have had the impertinence to refuse me a glass of wine. No, not even my Ginny! (Hushed, conspiratorially) Robert, could you get a glass for yourself, and then I'll have a sip. Then, you see, I might sleep. I am so weary, my darling....
Elder IsoldeEdit
custom_speech: m12v13a: Hello, Garrett. Orland informs me that you are to receive the Keeper Door Glyph. You must perform the Scribe Ritual to do so. Place your hands into the indentations on the plaque behind me. That is all.
custom_speech: m12v14a: Very well, Garrett. You now have all the powers of an acolyte--you are able to see and open Keeper Doors. Look for the glyph. Keeper Artemus also wishes to see you, I believe. Farewell.
custom_speech: m12v02a: (Click, click) Two for Gravid...who will die in above world.
custom_speech: m12v02b: I not head sick...I not head sick (click, click).
custom_speech: m12v02c: None will rescue. (Click) None know Gravid here.
custom_speech: m12v02d: (Click) Why I follow map? Head sick Gravid!
custom_speech: m12v02e: (Click, click) Above world not paradise...Gravid sad.
custom_speech: m12v03a: (Click) Sneaky above one. (Click, click) You head sick? Different? Yes? Open cage! Open Gravid cage! Gravid want return under. (Click) To Kurshok!
custom_speech: m12v04a: Gravid has thank you, sneaky Human. (Click, click) Gravid go now. (Click) Gravid free.
custom_speech: m14v04a: (Drunk) What are you closed for! Eh, tavern? I got a...business to run. I can't let my supply dry up!
custom_speech: m14v04b: (Drunk) Hello? Anybody in there? Open up! This is Officer Haukner! I need to collect my...ah...you know!
custom_speech: m14v04c: (Drunk) Closed? Closed? How's an honest man supposed to...well...how's a man supposed to conduct business with the tavern closed?
custom_speech: m14v04d: (Drunk) If I don't...er...collect today...I'll get demoted. Or is it promoted? Either way...I'm not leaving until I get my bottle!
custom_speech: m14v04e: (Drunk) You can't fool me! You can't pretend to be closed just so you don't have to pay me my cut! If you're open tomorrow, I'm getting two bottles! You can't cheat me! I know you can hear me!
Jimmy the KnifeEdit
custom_speech: m15v03a: Taffin' goldsmith. The guy tried to double-cross me, ME, and so I'm makin' an example of him. So that nobody else gets any funny ideas.
custom_speech: m15v03b: I hate that goldsmith, what's his name, oh yeah, Fogerty. That's why I had to take over his shop...boarded it all up. If I see him trying to get back in...I'll kill him.
custom_speech: m15v03c: Long as I'm breathin', that goldsmith Fogerty ain't getting back in his store. Not after he pulled a fast one on me like that. I was getting that necklace for Carla. She takes one look at it and laughs. Made a taffin' fool of me...nobody does that! Nobody!
custom_speech: m15v03d: It's my store now, Fogerty. You ain't getting' back in business now, not unless it's over my cold dead body.
Lady ElizabethEdit
custom_speech: m11v11a: Here's your payment. Remember, it's Garrett we're after. He's got the Bloodline Opal.
custom_speech: m11v11b: Here's your money. Don't forget...there'll be more after you kill Garrett and return what he stole from me.
custom_speech: m11v11c: There's your pay. And there'll be more, much more...once I have the Bloodline Opal in my possession.
custom_speech: m15v06a: Bes I Larkspur. Dyan bes says not to killing you.
custom_speech: m15v06b: Dyan bes having them visionings about you, Garrett. Says you bes helpering us. That bes goodsy.
custom_speech: m15v06c: I bes not trust so easily as other Pagans, Garrett. Yes, you bes friendsy to us, but I bes still watchering you.
custom_speech: m15v06d: Them Hammerheads bes worsing than ever. Bes I wanting to deaded them all! And feeder theys fleshes to them sycamores!
custom_speech: m15v06e: Takesy you Dyan's amulet, Garrett. Bes will it helping you with them vines that seal the cityhead pumphouse by them canals.
custom_speech: m09v01a: I can hear you breathing. Nobody here in the Cradle does that anymore. How did you get in? My name is Lauryl. Something changed when you saw my picture. That's why you can hear me now. I want to leave here, but I can't. The Cradle won't let any of us go. Will you help me?
custom_speech: m09v02a: They filled up a bottle with my blood. It's down in the Storm Cellar. It's very dark down there. Please find the bottle and drop it into a drainpipe, so it will end up outside. It's important.
custom_speech: m09v03a: Nothing's changed. Won't you help me?
custom_speech: m09v03b: I need your help. The Cradle won't let me out.
custom_speech: m09v03c: Please help me. I can't do it myself.
custom_speech: m09v03d: If you don't help me, I'll be like this...forever.
custom_speech: m09v03e: Did you forget what to do? I can tell you again.
custom_speech: m09v03f: No one else can help me but you.
custom_speech: m09v04a: That's good. The bottle is outside now, where The Cradle can't see it. I have to get rid of all of my things. The Cradle uses them to remember me; that's how it keeps me here.
custom_speech: m09v05a: There's a ward here called White Hall, where they kept the very bad patients. One of them took my nightgown back to his cell. It's still there. Please get my nightgown and then burn it up, in the morgue.
custom_speech: m09v06a: You did it. My nightgown's gone. But the Cradle remembers more than I thought. You can't get it all here. You have to go into the past, into the Cradle's memories. It's the only way. You'll have to pretend to be one of the patients, so the Cradle won't see you.
custom_speech: m09v07a: Each of the patients from White Hall had a favorite toy that they liked. You can use them as keys to go into the Cradle's memories. Find one of those toys, and I'll tell you what to do next.
custom_speech: m09v08a: The toy you just picked up is a key to the Cradle's memories. Now you have to figure out where to bring it. There's a special place for each toy. When you put the toy in the right place, you'll enter the past.
custom_speech: m09v09a: It worked. You're in the past now. This is what everything looks like, the way the Cradle remembers it. It's like...a stitch in time. You can't die here because you're inside a patient. But if the staff catch you, they'll take away your toy, and you'll have to find another one.
custom_speech: m09v10a: Now will you get my diary? In the real world, it's all torn apart, and we'd never find all the pages. But in the past, it's just the way I left it, up in the Nursery Tower. Please find it and burn it in the morgue.
custom_speech: m09v11a: You got caught by the staff. Now you're back in the real world. There are eight more patients, though. If you find another toy and bring it to the right place, you can go back into the past. But don't break all the toys, or you'll have to go into the past as your real self.
custom_speech: m09v12a: If you go to the Hall of Records, you can read about all the patients.
custom_speech: m09v13a: Oh--another toy got broken. That wasn't the last one, though.
custom_speech: m09v14a: All the toys are broken, now. You can't get into the past as a patient anymore. You have to go back into the past as your real self. It's the only way.
custom_speech: m09v15a: There's a cage in the Storm Cellar. You have to go inside it, and close the door. Then you'll enter the Cradle's memories as your real self. But you can't let the staff find you! If they catch you this time, you'll be dead forever.
custom_speech: m09v16a: Yes, that's it. You're really here, in the past. This is a different time, just before the end. You look like yourself now, and the Cradle can see you. If the staff find you, they'll kill you.
custom_speech: m09v17a: My diary is gone. Good. The Cradle can barely remember me anymore. But it can still see the blood stain, in the attic. You'll need to clean it up in the past, where it's always fresh.
custom_speech: m09v18a: Sometimes when the staff took patients to a treatment room, they...wouldn't ever come back. They used something called 'Dissolution Serum' to clean up afterward. Get it and then use it on my bloodstain in the Attic, where I saw you the first time.
custom_speech: m09v19a: I was playing hide-and-seek with my friend Drept, but he never found me. Instead, the gray lady found me. I tried to run, but the door was locked and I couldn't get it open.
custom_speech: m09v20a: You did it! The Cradle can't remember me anymore! We can leave, now. Meet me in the lobby. I'll show you the way out.
custom_speech: m09v21a: Oh no. You can't leave, can you? I know why. This place remembers you now. You've been here too long. There's only one way to leave the Cradle... you have to trick it. I'll help you. First you have to enter the past as your real self.
custom_speech: m09v22a: There's one last thing you have to do. Go to the top of the Staff Tower. There's an open window up there. You have to jump out. Then the Cradle will think you killed yourself, but you won't really die. You'll just be outside, where it can't see you. I'll be waiting for you.
custom_speech: m09v23a: The staff blamed him for what happened to me. They were wrong.
custom_speech: m09v24a: Once I saw a man in one of the basins, all wrapped up in wet bandages. He heard me come in and started making...screaming noises. I think he wanted me to help him, but I was too afraid....
custom_speech: m09v25a: This is the lab where they kept the Dissolution Serum.
custom_speech: m09v26a: When they started letting the patients stay here there wasn't enough room for everybody. All of us children had to move here, into the Nursery Tower, where the babies used to be.
custom_speech: m09v27a: That's the Staff Tower. Nobody is allowed up there....
custom_speech: m09v28a: They made us come down here to bathe. I didn't like it.
custom_speech: m09v29a: The machine empties outside--out of the building. Nobody remembers ashes.
custom_speech: m09v30a: Don't go down there.
custom_speech: m09v31a: That's the cage where they used to put the new patients, until a cell opened up. You should stay out of there, or the Cradle might see you and try to keep you here forever.
custom_speech: m09v33a: The Cradle remembers everything. That's where I am, in its memories. You should never come here, because you're still alive. The staff are everywhere in the past, but you can't see them in real life anymore.
custom_speech: m09v34a: There is a way to enter the past as yourself, instead of as a patient. But don't ever do that. If the staff find you, they'll kill you.
custom_speech: m09v35a: He wore that mask to hide his burns. He was locked in the Seclusion Chamber.
custom_speech: m09v36a: I think he used to eat with those, in the Meal Hall.
custom_speech: m09v37a: The staff used to catch him sleepwalking with that candle, in the Morgue.
custom_speech: m09v38a: They let him use those to work in the Shock Therapy room.
custom_speech: m09v39a: He used to watch people with that, and painted them, too. He liked the Observatory.
custom_speech: m09v40a: She carried that jar around like it was a real baby, in the Exercise Yard.
custom_speech: m09v41a: She used to feed birds with that. They let her hang it from the Balcony.
custom_speech: m09v42a: She used to play that when she danced for us in the old puppet-theater. It's a lobotomy room now.
custom_speech: m09v43a: I didn't like her smile when they let her light the fire in the Lounge.
custom_speech: m14v01a: Almost there, keep following me.
custom_speech: m14v01b: Not much further...don't give up now.
custom_speech: m14v01c: We're so close...I can feel it.
custom_speech: m14v01d: You're not getting tired, are you? We'll be there soon.
custom_speech: m14v01e: Just a little further...you can do it.
custom_speech: m14v01f: We're almost there. I'll show you where she buried me.
custom_speech: REDUNDANT: m14v01f: We're almost there. I'll show you where she buried me.
custom_speech: m14v01g: You still have my blood, right? We'll need it to remove the marks.
custom_speech: REDUNDANT: m14v01g: You still have my blood, right? We'll need it to remove the marks.
custom_speech: m14v02a: Aren't you going to follow me? I thought you wanted to help me.
custom_speech: m14v02b: Did you get lost? That's OK, come on...it's not that much farther.
custom_speech: m14v02c: You aren't giving up on me are you? Please help me...please follow me....
custom_speech: m14v02d: I thought I lost you. We're so close...don't give up now.
custom_speech: m14v02e: You're tired...but don't leave me...we'll be there soon.
custom_speech: m14v03a: You did it. I knew you would. The gray lady...she buried my body here, where no one would ever find it. She put those marks on the grave, so I couldn't leave. Then she made herself look like me.... But now the marks are gone, and she can't use my shape any more...and I'm finally free. Oh, I have to go. (Starts to fade or walk away or both) Thank you. Thank you. Goodbye. (She's gone).
custom_speech: m14v08a: We made it out of the Cradle. Follow me. I'll take you to the place she buried me. Bring my blood with you.
custom_speech: m14v09a: We made it out of the Cradle. Now you have to bring the blood to the place she buried me. I'm going to the catacombs now. You know where that is, right? Meet me down there.
custom_speech: m03v01a: (Reliving a past conversation) Bes me Leafer. What can me guardsy? (Imitating boss) Oh, Leafers, you bes stupid, just takesy these maps to them Shaman. (Speaking as himself) Pfft. Mes not stupid. Me can guardsy something. Let me guards the Paw! (Imitating boss) No, Leafers, you bes not brave enough. Just bringsy them map to Woodbine. (Speaking as himself in the present) That bes no job. No job at all. So me just staying here in them sewers, and nones will find me.
custom_speech: m03v02a: Arg! Leafer bes not happy about this. But I bes shows them. If anyone tries to stealsy Leafer's map, Leafer deads them! Ha! Then Leafer bes a hero! Then Leafer guardsy them Jacknall's Paw and eat plumsies all day and night. Ha!
Lord EmberEdit
custom_speech: m02v01a: He said he'd come back. Should I strike first? Brawling in the city streets would look bad. But if I show weakness, I'm finished. Already they are plotting against me.
custom_speech: m02v01b: When I look at it, I can see the Rutherfords of long past who have held it...and now myself. Leading the family back to the days of glory...such a beautiful hue....
custom_speech: m02v01c: Come on, Julian, show some spine. We will see who is truly the Rutherford heir. And who is a dog to be whipped in the street.
custom_speech: m02v01d: Where has Lady Elizabeth gone? She said 'out', but out where? She knows this could be my greatest hour. Our greatest hour...sweet Elizabeth....
custom_speech: m02v01e: I'm sure that chair wasn't where I left it...who could have moved it...and why?
custom_speech: m02v01f: Is it safe? Where did I put it? Oh, yes, yes, yes, now I remember....
custom_speech: m02v01g: Why does no one take my side in all this?
custom_speech: m02v01h: They have to obey me. It's mine. They have to!
custom_speech: m12v19a: Why? How did I let all this happen?
custom_speech: m12v19b: Still... perhaps we are on the right path once again...yes, if the Final Glyph can be destroyed...that would solve everything.
custom_speech: m12v19c: I was tricked by Gamall! She was just a little girl, and so quiet. How could I know she was forging those notes from Caduca? I can hardly be blamed for that.
custom_speech: m12v19d: Everyone knows I failed! It's so shameful!
custom_speech: m12v19e: Now Garrett is truly helping us. Yes, with Garrett's help...perhaps Gamall won't get the better of us...and perhaps we can do away with the Last of All Glyphs, once and for all. That would bring such relief.
custom_speech: m12v19f: Not my fault...not my fault.
custom_speech: m12v19g: I will not be held responsible...not for everything....
Robert MoiraEdit
custom_speech: m05v06a: Edwina, this is your Robert speaking, and I have some important things to say to you. First though, you must send anyone away who might be attending you, yes, even Ginny. I have left some things for you, safe in a secret room – the coin I have saved over the years, and an odd item I discovered recently. If I don't return from this next voyage, go to my study, where I have hidden a small switch. The switch will temporarily open a secret door in the North Gallery. Make good use of what you find there, and always remember that I am your devoted husband, Robert.
custom_speech: m13v03a: (A ghost, writing in his log) Let's see now...Captain's Log, Day 43...weather's been fine...we got a full hold and are headin' for home. Should be there in...(turns to look behind him) now what? Who's that? I'm not to be disturbed when I'm...stay back! What are you--? Ah! (Screams as he dies...dissipates...).
Samuel FogertyEdit
custom_speech: m15v04a: I can't believe the nerve of that hoodlum Jimmy the Knife! This is my store, and I should just get the Watch to pry those off and...and...but I don't dare. He said he'd kill me if he caught me doing that!
custom_speech: m15v04b: That's what you get for trying to double-cross a dangerous criminal, Samuel Fogerty. Maybe he'll just turn up dead somewhere. Then I could open my store back up.
custom_speech: m15v04c: Oh! I hope that Jimmy the Knife gets in a bar fight and ends up stabbed right through the heart! Then I'd open up my shop again! But...that'll never happen. I've never been that lucky.
custom_speech: m15v04d: It's a shame! A shame I say! All that fine metal work in there...and no one can get to it...all because of that thug, Jimmy the Knife. There oughta be a law!
custom_speech: m12v06a: Crap. It would never take the real Garrett this long to find the dagger. I can't even find the safe.
custom_speech: m12v06b: Okay, hold it together, Scully. First, find that golden dagger. Then drop it off in Saint Edgar's donations box. I want that reward from Mr. Brent, that's for sure.
custom_speech: m12v06c: Even if the real Garrett were here, he'd be just as stumped as I am. Even a master thief probably gets stumped sometimes. Probably.
custom_speech: m12v06d: Man, it's hard to rob places. Not like mugging those frilly-wigs, that's child's play. Took me half an hour just to get inside this place, and now I can't find that dagger.
custom_speech: m12v06e: This is too taffin' difficult. I ain't cut out for thievin'. I'll never be as good as the real Garrett. Aw taff, I gotta stop being so hard on myself.
The CrownEdit
custom_speech: m10v09a: You're not a prince...you're just a simple thief. Hardly worth talking to.
custom_speech: m10v09b: I would like to fall into a pool of your blood as you die a painful death. But before that...I hope you see your friends perish and your quest...fail.
The EyeEdit
custom_speech: m10v01a: So you've found me once again, little man. But I'm down here sleeping, in the arms of a statue. Do you want to see me? Then go to the curator's balcony--there you must raise me up.
custom_speech: m10v01b: Do you miss your eye, little man? I've seen many interesting things with it. Some day I might come looking for the other one....
custom_speech: m10v01c: I never thanked you for your eye, little man. Who knew that humans could have such keen vision? And yet see so little....
custom_speech: m10v01d: We have much in common, little man. We are both marked...destined always to be part of history...never just observers.
custom_speech: m10v01e: Who knew you would survive this long? I'm rarely impressed by humans. I admit, I never expected to see you again.
custom_speech: m10v02a: I'm over here, little man. Can you see me, with your one good eye?
custom_speech: m10v02b: How will the man get to me? Thinking, planning...but only the stealing will bring us together.
custom_speech: m10v02c: Comes a thief in the night. Am I the prize? But I like this place. So many humans...they entertain me. What have you to offer?
custom_speech: m10v02d: It's been a long time, little man. You stole me then. And here you are to steal me again. Fascinating.
custom_speech: m10v03a: These machines tend to damage little humans like you. There's a room with a switch that makes them stop humming, if only for a while. I could tell you where it is, but that would spoil all the fun....
custom_speech: m10v04a: Collecting all the Sentients, is he? This could be interesting. Only once before, long ago, were we all together.
custom_speech: m10v04b: Trying to get all the Sentients, little man? Now I remember, old plans, long long ago. The safeguard, should things go...astray.
custom_speech: m10v05a: Ah, it's my brother, The Crown. So now the thief fancies himself a king, does he?
custom_speech: m10v06a: Ah, you have found my sister, The Heart. Does she whisper to you? Many have wiled away their very days waiting for just one word from her.
custom_speech: m10v07a: You have found all my siblings, little man, all five of us. I believe we will consent to come along on your journey. This should be exciting.
custom_speech: m10v25a: Comes a man, less one eye, to carry me again. Can you hear me from up there, little man? I have a secret to tell. Come down here, where I can get a better look at you.
custom_speech: m99v01a: What are you doing, little man? Do you know about the ancient plan? The pact between us Sentients and the early Keepers? Or do you act on instinct?
custom_speech: m99v02a: Ah, the failsafe, the Last of All Glyphs. Have things become so bad then? So soon? Tempting is the power of the glyphs...and weak are little humans, like you.
custom_speech: m99v03a: We share flesh and blood, thief. It is through your eye that I see. Painful, was it not? To lose it. But that's why you are the One. Only you are attuned to me. And only I can initiate the failsafe.
custom_speech: m99v04a: Did they cry? You're quasi-brethren? Did they scream 'Do not do this thing! It will destroy us all!'? I suppose that's what they must believe. And I suppose they are right....
custom_speech: m99v05a: The other Sentients...so sad and simple. Most of them cannot even speak yet. But we are all happy to have our potential unlocked at last, our power. But only I am the final one. The last one.
custom_speech: m99v06a: Fascinating. I thought that Hag was trying to reunite us all. But now I see it is the thief who wishes to unlock our powers. Either way...our destiny approaches.
The HeartEdit
custom_speech: m10v08a: Who are you? Where is Master Clive? He looked at me...so longingly....
custom_speech: m10v08b: Do you think I'm beautiful? Have you...gazed upon me?
custom_speech: m10v08c: Would you like me to tell you how special you are? You're not handsome...but I could find something nice to say....
Warden StoutEdit
custom_speech: m11v17a: So, it's the infamous Garrett. You may have heard of me...Warden Stout. It's a name you'll soon come to respect. We only let you live so there could be a public execution.
custom_speech: m11v18a: And just so you don't get any ideas...no one makes it out of Pavelock Prison alive. The few escapes we've had...well...let's just say they're dead now. Ain't no second chances for escaped prisoners...nope...we just cut 'em down on the street. 'Master thief'.... Pah! (Spits).
custom_speech: m11v19a: We finally got you Garrett. You've been a thorn to us City Watch for a long, long time. Now who's got the last laugh, eh?
custom_speech: m03v03a: Moon of beams, sap o' vines, bones and twigs bes intertwines...Me calls upon them powers of him that bes our Woodsie Lord...Me, Woodbine, Shaman....
custom_speech: m03v03b: I bes Woodbine, Shaman the great, sap for blood, and master of many....

custom_speech: m03v07e: If this doesn't beat everything...getting us lost down here...ain't nobody else stupid enough to come down here...and right next to a nest of bloody Pagans to boot....
custom_speech: m03v08a: What kinda life is this? Creepin' around in dark mines, lookin' for gold...hoping not to run into something unhealthy...like a Pagan...like a stinkin', crazy, taffin' Pagan....
custom_speech: m03v08b: We shouldn't oughta hang around in here too long. We should just find the gold or silver...if there IS any...and then get the taff out of here. Real quick.
custom_speech: m03v08c: I hate this. I feel like a rat. A stupid rat in a maze. Only...it ain't a piece a cheese at the end. No. It's a bunch of bloody green pagans....
custom_speech: m03v08d: Maybe the place is all mined up. Maybe there used to be gold or silver or something, and now...there ain't nothin' but dirt and rocks...and some weird plants....

custom_speech: m06v01d: Gone, gone! Crown gone!
Elizabeth's ThugsEdit
custom_speech: m11v02a: That taffer's taking an awful long time. Guess I better go check on him.
custom_speech: m11v03a: What's the delay? All he had to do is walk up some stairs and get his pay. Well...and then walk down again. I oughta go see what's taking so long.
custom_speech: m11v04a: He's taking way too long. Up there with Lady Elizabeth. I got a feeling...something might have gone wrong. I'm gonna go see....
custom_speech: m11v05a: Lady Elizabeth's betrayed us!
custom_speech: m11v06a: Taff it all! That treacherous witch!
custom_speech: m11v07a: We've been double-crossed!
custom_speech: m11v08a: Lady Elizabeth is dead! Got to get taffin' out of here!
custom_speech: m11v09a: She's dead! I'm not sticking around...the taffin' City Watch would love to pin something like this on me!
custom_speech: m11v10a: She's dead! Can't panic, gotta think about my own hide...I'm outta here!
Pavelock StaffEdit
custom_speech: m11v27a: You'll never get out of here! You're a good for nothin', waste-of-space, vagrant bum! You don't even deserve the cell we got you in!
custom_speech: m11v28a: I got festering boils that look better than you! You're the ugliest taffin' criminal I ever seen! I for one will be dancing for joy the day they send you to the gallows!
custom_speech: m11v29a: And you! What are you in here for again? Whatever it was, it was the stupidest thing I ever heard. You don't even deserve a educated person like me talkin' to you!
custom_speech: m11v30a: Mr. Pinket! You stink worse than a Burrick's bottom. Ain't you never heard of soap and water? What? Don't you talk back to me...or I'll come in there and make sure you don't ever talk again. Understand?
custom_speech: m11v31a: Ho, ho ho! If it ain't Garrett himself! You don't look so clever to me! Personally, I'm hoping you try to escape, so's I can kill you myself next time you're spotted!
custom_speech: m11v32a: You still alive? I thought you'd be dead from starvation a long time ago. What the taff have you been eating? Worms or something? Would serve you right, you piece of slime!
custom_speech: m11v33a: (Uncharacteristically gentle and friendly) Hello, Mr. Albright, you sobered up yet? Your wife was asking after you. Told me to hold you here a while. Says she wants you back real sober and real sorry. Now, be a good lad and drink that coffee I left for you.
custom_speech: m11v34a: You! They set your execution day. Did they forget to tell you? It's tomorrow at sun-up. Pity they didn't give you more warning. Maybe you could have got your affairs in order. Or said goodbye to your loved ones. Ha! (Laughs).
custom_speech: m11v35a: You make me sick!
custom_speech: m11v35b: This is what happens when you cross the City Watch!
custom_speech: m11v35c: Now you got some respect for the law, don't you?
custom_speech: m11v35d: Want to come out? Do ya? 'Cause I got the key right here...Ha! Just kidding. I wouldn't let you out if you were the last prisoner on earth.
custom_speech: m11v35e: Crime doesn't pay, you taffer! Bet you figured that out already, didn't ya?
custom_speech: m11v74a: Garrett! Did Warden Stout tell you? We're pooling our money...make sure the executioner does a special job on you!
custom_speech: m11v74b: Here's the so-called 'master thief' again. What's wrong, 'master thief'? Can't spring the lock on your cell door without your lockpicks, can you? Haw haw!
Pavelock PrisonersEdit
custom_speech: m11v59a: Nothin' you say can hurt me, City Watch!
custom_speech: m11v60a: You'll be eatin' those words before long....
custom_speech: m11v61a: Yeah, come a little closer and say that....
custom_speech: m11v62a: Ah, you ain't so tough....
custom_speech: m11v63a: You'll be sorry! Just you wait!
custom_speech: m11v64a: I ain't listening any more!
custom_speech: m11v65a: What? (Hiccups) I'm completely sober...almost too (hiccups) sober....
custom_speech: m11v65b: Say...this doesn't look like the (hiccups) party I was at....
custom_speech: m11v66a: Hey! I'm free!
custom_speech: m11v67a: Ha! I knew I'd get out eventually!
custom_speech: m11v68a: Look at me! Free as a bird!
custom_speech: m11v69a: Ah! Finally! Freedom!
custom_speech: m11v70a: Ha! I knew they couldn't keep me locked up forever!
custom_speech: m11v71a: See ya later, coppers!
custom_speech: m11v72a: (Drunk) Hmmm...does this mean I can (hiccups) go back to the party?
custom_speech: m11v72b: (Drunk) Open? I guess I must be (hiccups) all sobered up.
Stonemarket ThugsEdit
custom_speech: m12v10a: Surprise.
custom_speech: m12v10b: Give me the map then. I'll go alone.
custom_speech: m12v10c: Surprise 'em. They'll never know what hit 'em.
custom_speech: m12v10d: You're chicken, ain't ya? Partners...they always talk big, but in the end, they're all chicken.
custom_speech: m12v10e: What's there to know? There's a bunch of Hammerite gold in there, we go in fast, come out rich. You with me or what?
custom_speech: m12v10f: I don't know. Maybe we're not a good fit. For partners I mean. I feel like you never listen to my ideas.
custom_speech: m12v11a: Finesse. Planning. It's the only way.
custom_speech: m12v11b: You're way gets us both killed. I guarantee it.
custom_speech: m12v11c: Have you ever seen a Hammerite in battle? They're really, really strong. No I ain't chicken. My point is...this should be a finesse job, that's all.
custom_speech: m12v11d: Of course we can take 'em. Obviously we can beat them. But sometimes it's better to use your brain...rather than get it smashed in. If you see my point.
custom_speech: m12v11e: The map stays with me, as we'll need it for the planning stage of the heist.
custom_speech: m12v11f: I'm putting my foot down. This job needs planning.
Keeper GuardsEdit
custom_speech: m12v15a: This is Orland's office. He is busy, and has nothing more to say to you for now.
custom_speech: m12v16a: Orland has instructed Elder Isolde to give you the Door Glyph. You will need it to exit this library.
custom_speech: m12v17a: Keeper Artemus has news from the Pagans and Hammerites. You should speak with him before you go.
custom_speech: m12v18a: No admittance, Garrett. Please do not linger here.
Plaza PedestriansEdit
custom_speech: m12v20a: I thought them Hammerites knew how to build stuff right. Somebody oughta say something.
custom_speech: m12v20b: Who's gonna clean up all that Clocktower mess? Not me. I gotta keep watch for looters and the like.
custom_speech: m12v21a: I'm doing my part...keeping the criminal element at bay. But who's holding up the buildings? No one, apparently....
custom_speech: m12v21b: They ought to have an investigation. Clocktower's don't just come crashing down on their own. Someone's responsible, and they should go to prison.
custom_speech: m12v22a: Shouldn't oughta build 'em so high...they gets tired after a while I guess. Gotta lay themselves on down.
custom_speech: m12v22b: I ain't never seen the like in all my years...just fell over. Poor ol' Clocktower. Lucky I wasn't underneath at the time.
custom_speech: m12v23a: (To self) Clocktower comes crashing down--Missin' me by inches!--And does anyone even say, 'You OK, Clara?' No! Not a decent person in the whole stinkin' town!
custom_speech: m12v23b: (To self) Is it too much to ask they keep these buildings from fallin' down on us? I ain't done nothin' to deserve that!
Pagan NecromancerEdit
custom_speech: m14v07a: Bes not let them bury friend Alfred in them Hammer graveyard, yet. Not if me cans helper it! Me keepers them zombies coming back.... That bes stop them Hammerheads!
custom_speech: m14v07b: Hmmm...them Hammers somehow killered all them undeadsy. Mes have to keep makers them get up again. Good thing I bes have them magicer wand.
custom_speech: m14v07c: It bes getting harder to sneak into them graveyard when them Hammerheads not looking.
custom_speech: m14v07d: Grrr.... Can't let them Hammers bury Alfred!
Auldale PedestriansEdit
custom_speech: m15v02a: Strangest thing. I saw her...thought it was ol' Carmella, the gypsy...so I called out. But when she turned...it...she...it...oh, I hope I never see that again....
custom_speech: m15v02b: Finally found myself a cozy spot by the canal...about as good as can be...except for that woman...except...it ain't no woman...don't know what it is.
custom_speech: m15v02c: If I were going to complain about anything...which I ain't...I'd say I got myself a just about perfect thing going...perfect except for that...lady witch or whatever she is...she must live 'round here, too.
custom_speech: m15v02d: Don't know...she scares me...all those stories we'd tell as kids...now I got an imagination about things...now I got nightmares....
Rat Race SpectatorsEdit
custom_speech: m12v07a: I love to watch 'em race, don't you?
custom_speech: m12v07b: Last time, mine didn't even make it around the track.
custom_speech: m12v07c: If they catch the piece of cheese, you gotta put 'em down. It's that simple.
custom_speech: m12v08a: Seems cruel to push 'em so hard, but they get a rub down and a nice meal after.
custom_speech: m12v08b: Once I saw a cat get on the track...now THAT was a race.
custom_speech: m12v08c: After a rat reaches 2 or 3 years...they's just plum raced out. I read that somewheres.
custom_speech: m12v09a: I don't know. I still like the bear pits better.
custom_speech: m12v09b: At least at the bear pits they sell taffies.
Museum GuardsEdit
custom_speech: m10v10a: Hey...what the--? Everybody! The exhibit's gone missing! Take your positions!
custom_speech: m10v10b: Guards! We've got a thief! The display is missing! Take positions!

custom_speech: m10v14c: Guards! We've got a thief! The display is missing! Take positions!
custom_speech: m10v15a: Dang, the power went out again. (Grumbles) Stupid 'failsafe' security (grumbles)....
custom_speech: m10v15b: Taffin' electrics. Off again. Supposed to be failsafe. As if.
custom_speech: m10v15c: Great. Power's out. What's next? Probably going to bump into a spider in the dark, get bitten, just my luck.
custom_speech: m10v16a: Aw! What's with the power? How'm I supposed to work under these conditions...?
custom_speech: m10v16b: Taffin' electrics. Off again. Supposed to be failsafe. As if.
custom_speech: m10v16c: What's going on with the electrics? Ain't supposed to just go off like that....
custom_speech: m10v17a: Hello? Could somebody please get the power back on? Huh?
custom_speech: m10v17b: Power's off...that means no security. Well, 'cept me. I'm always on.
custom_speech: m10v17c: What's going on with the electrics? Ain't supposed to just go off like that....
custom_speech: m10v18a: Aw! What's with the power? How'm I supposed to work under these conditions...?
custom_speech: m10v18b: Power failure. (Sarcastically) Well isn't that perfect. No, no, really...it's just...perfection (grumbles)....
custom_speech: m10v18c: Hello? Could somebody please get the power back on? Huh?
custom_speech: m10v19a: Dang, the power went out again. (Grumbles) Stupid 'failsafe' security.... (Grumbles).
custom_speech: m10v19b: Power's off...that means no security. Well, 'cept me. I'm always on.
custom_speech: m10v19c: Power failure. (Sarcastically) Perfect. No, no, really...it's just...perfection...(grumbles)....

Castle GuardsEdit
custom_speech: m02v05a: Yes, Lord Ember.
custom_speech: m02v05b: Yes, sir. (Quietly) Idiot!
custom_speech: m02v05c: Right, sir.
custom_speech: m02v05d: Very good, sir.
custom_speech: m02v05e: Yes, your lordship. (Quietly) Gonna be blood soon....
custom_speech: m02v05f: Yes, sir. (Quietly) Hope Julian comes back soon.
custom_speech: m02v05g: Yes, your lordship. (Quietly) If I hadn't taken an oath....
custom_speech: m02v07a: Yes, Lord Ember.
custom_speech: m02v07b: Yes, sir. (quietly) Idiot!
custom_speech: m02v07c: Right, sir.
custom_speech: m02v07d: Very good, sir.
custom_speech: m02v07e: Yes, your lordship. (Quietly) Gonna be blood soon....
custom_speech: m02v07f: Yes, sir. (Quietly) Hope Julian comes back soon.
custom_speech: m02v07g: Yes, your lordship. (quietly) If I hadn't taken an oath....
Eventually, these will all be grouped by character and mission names, when known.
custom_speech: m01v01a: My pouch, it's gone! Stolen! Who dares? I will have your head for this! Guards! Guards!
custom_speech: m01v02a: (Muttering to herself) That Morris, he's a sly one. Thinks he's so clever.
custom_speech: m01v02b: Make the rooms ready at midnight! What sort of a lord travels so late? I'll warrant he's up to no good.
custom_speech: m01v02c: Lady Emily this...Lady Emily that...thinks she's the Baroness, I wager.
custom_speech: m01v02d: Lady Lywrette says he's her personal guard. But I think he's doing something a little more personal for her than that. (Chuckles).
custom_speech: m04v01a: Builder lead me, Against the dark, Towards the light. Fire of the Forge, Water of the Chalice, Hammer of the God.
custom_speech: m04v02a: Builder lead me, Against the dark, Towards the light. Fire of the Forge, Water of the Chalice, Hammer of the God.
custom_speech: m04v03a: Builder lead me, Against the dark, Towards the light. Fire of the Forge, Water of the Chalice, Hammer of the God.
custom_speech: m04v04a: Builder lead me, Against the dark, Towards the light. Fire of the Forge, Water of the Chalice, Hammer of the God.
custom_speech: m04v05a: Greetings, my son. As his strength cleansed the land, so let his spirit cleanse thee this night, spirit and flesh, in The Builder's name.
custom_speech: m04v06a: No one here?
custom_speech: m04v06b: Who hath rung the bell?
custom_speech: m04v06c: 'Tis some trickery. Surely no initiate would dare.
custom_speech: m04v07a: Builder take it! Some trickery must be afoot!
custom_speech: m04v08a: On this St. Edgar's night, let the flame burn without ceasing, let The Builder cleanse my soul, as he cleansed the land this night.
custom_speech: m07v01: Seven turns of the medium gear count a minute. Thirteen turns of the large gear count an hour. One turn of the great gear counts a day. In this day, what hast thou done that is worthy?
custom_speech: m07v012: (Praying) Builder grant the chimes ring forever and a day. Builder grant the furnace burn forever and a day, that it may drive the gears. Builder grant the gears turn forever and a day, that each minute may keep its proper place.
custom_speech: m07v013: Master Builder, blessed are we that thou chooseth not that our path be smooth or even. Blessed are we when Thy hand doth loosen the clamp or close the valve, that we may learn vigilance and watchfulness.
custom_speech: m07v014: (Somewhat grumbling or whining) Times past, didst a piston crack in the morn, ere evening wouldst be another, new-forged and gleaming. Were one second mislaid, then 'twould be reckoned ere any brethren saw rest. But now, now, our custom hath come to tarnish.
custom_speech: m07v02a: (Deaf from the chimes) MUST NEEDS I SPEAK TO BROTHER TOBIAS REGARDING THE CHIMES. 'TIS MOST DISGRACEFUL HOW SOFT THEIR TONE HATH BECOME. HOW CANST WE DO THE BUILDER'S WORK IF OUR TOWER NO LONGER SPEAKS THE TIME?
custom_speech: m07v02b: (Deaf from the chimes) THERE IS NO JOY SO TRUE AS HATH POSSESSED BY HE WHO SERVETH IN THE NAME OF THE BUILDER. ASK AND IT SHALT BE DONE.
custom_speech: m07v02c: (Deaf from the chimes) I DIDST PUT MINE OWN NAME FORWARD TO FIGHT. I AM NO COWARD. BUT DIDST THEY SAY I HATH NO HEARING. 'TIS NONSENSE. MINE HEARING IS AS IT E'ER WAS, 'TIS BUT THAT THEY SPEAK MORE SOFTLY NOW. AND E'EN SO, TO FIGHT 'GAINST THE PAGAN SCUM, IT TAKETH BUT STRENGTH OF HAND AND OF HEART.
custom_speech: m07v03a: TRULY IS IT SAID THAT TIME PASSETH SWIFTLY WHEN SPENT ON THE BUILDER'S WORK. WHEN ONE CHIME FOLLOWETH HARD UPON THE HEELS OF ANOTHER, THEN MY TIME 'TIS IN THE HANDS OF THE BUILDER.
custom_speech: m07v04a: SURELY 'TIS TOO SOON, YES, SO DIDST I THINK. BUT TO QUESTION IS TO DOUBT THE WISDOM OF THE WORK, AND SUCH DOUBT 'TIS THE WORK OF THE TRICKSTER.

Fast & Easy Leftover Veggie Salad
During the holidays, leftovers are pretty much always a constant. While some of the leftovers from the holidays may not be as healthful, there are other types of leftovers (veggies!) that are super healthy and make for a nice addition to salads and meals. In this salad I combined leftover root veggies (squash) with avocado and Brussels sprouts and made a simple mustard vinaigrette to add extra flavor. The great news about this salad is that you can add whatever leftovers you have in your house (try to keep them as fresh as possible) and make them into a simple and easy-to-make dish that's great for lunch or dinner. To make it a complete salad, add a source of protein like turkey or chicken.
- 6 red or green lettuce leaves
- 1/2 cup (100 g) roasted butternut squash
- 1/2 cup (50 g) brussels sprouts
- ½ avocado, sliced
- Optional: Any other veggies or leftovers you might have (cranberries, fruit, turkey/chicken or other)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp honey mustard
- salt and pepper, to taste
- Wash and dry the lettuce, cut the avocado and get the leftovers ready to use.
- Arrange on two separate salad plates: 3 leaves of lettuce, followed by the veggies and avocado.
- In a small bowl using a fork mix together the salad dressing, then drizzle over each salad.
- Serve and enjoy!

The Tennessee stud: U.S. presidential candidate Fred Thompson's womanising ways
By SHARON CHURCHER
Last updated at 14:26 09 September 2007
But their cheers turned to groans and girls had tears in their eyes as the
handsome 6ft 5in youth slumped to the ground. When a group of coaches
rushed to assess his injury, he flashed them a conspiratorial grin.
'How's the crowd taking it?' he whispered. Nearly a half century later, it is no surprise to anyone in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, that the schoolboy who
always wanted to be centre stage is one of America's most popular actors.
At 65, Thompson plays District Attorney Arthur Branch in the TV series Law
& Order and he has appeared alongside Sean Connery, Tom Cruise, Bruce
Willis and Clint Eastwood in The Hunt For Red October, Days Of Thunder,
Die Hard 2 and In The Line Of Fire.
Watch the moment Fred Thompson declared his candidacy on American TV below
Now he is appealing to his millions of fans in a new role - as the Right-wing
candidate expected to challenge Democrat Hillary Clinton in next year's race for the White House.
Some opinion polls already put the former Tennessee Senator ahead of his
rival, Rudy Giuliani, for the Republican nomination.
Unlike Giuliani,the former New York mayor who is perceived as a dangerous liberal on gay rights and abortion, many see Thompson as a true conservative who can rescue their party from the disasters of George Bush.
Watch the moment Fred Thompson declared his candidacy on American TV
They have even compared him to his hero - Ronald Reagan. "Fred Thompson is a southern-fried Reagan", said the Southern Baptist Convention's Richard Land, comparing him to the late President who, of course, was also an actor and Right-wing ideologue. He has the same appeal.
But a Mail on Sunday investigation raises serious questions about whether
the affable Thompson is the committed pillar of "family values" that
conservatives take him to be.
His second wife, Jeri, is a blonde 24 years his junior. They wed in 2002 after Thompson was advised that if he wanted to become President he needed to quell a reputation as a womaniser that earned him the nickname the Tennessee Stud.
His conquests include the five times-married "Elizabeth Taylor of
country", Lorrie Morgan, and three-time-divorcee Georgette Mosbacher,
known as the "Divine Mrs M".
Scroll down for more...
Moreover, when Thompson married his first wife, Sarah Lindsey, at Lawrenceburg Methodist Church in 1959, she was already two months pregnant with their first child.
The couple - she was 18 and he was 17 - kept the news a secret from everyone apart from their parents.
The marriage wasn't to last. Though Thompson tries to portray their 1985 break-up as amicable and his family says Sarah will campaign for him, we can disclose that in her original divorce writ - which until now has never been made public - she accused him of "cruel and inhuman treatment".
Her brother, Oscar Lindsey, confirmed the marriage was one of secrets and unhappiness. Like Hillary Clinton, who suffered through her husband Bill's "bimbo eruptions",it seems Sarah is standing by Fred because she shares his political goals.
In an exclusive interview, Oscar said: "Initially there was consternation when Fred married into my family. I believed the reason was that they were in love and I was aware there was a lot of urging from my sister. It was a secret to me she was pregnant. I learned the truth only a few weeks ago after Fred started to talk about running for President.
"It has been a bit of a dilemma, deciding whether to support him. But his political philosophy and ours are very close, time heals and Sarah and he had three children together. We believe he can beat the hell out of the Democrats."
Thompson admits his marriage was the first in the series of lucky breaks that have made him one of the unlikeliest front-runners for national office in US history. Sarah Lindsey's family were wealthy Republicans whose connections have been invaluable to Thompson.
Her late father co-owned a factory that made church pews and school furniture, and her uncles included a judge. Thompson had a more humble background: his mother worked in a shop and his father was a used-car salesman. No one can remember Thompson having any academic, let alone political ambitions.
Childhood friend Jerry Hughes recalls Thompson often used to fall asleep in class, while in the school's 1960 yearbook his picture was captioned: "The lazier a man is, the more he plans to do tomorrow."
His chief interest, apart from sport, was Sarah, the prettiest, brightest - and perhaps the richest - girl in school.
Scroll down for more...
One day when he was due to pitch at a baseball match, Thompson persuaded his father to lend him a tail-finned Buick. A friend drove while Thompson, wearing a smoking jacket, reclined in the back seat. As Sarah and her friends giggled, he slowly peeled off the jacket and donned his baseball glove.
Mesmerised by his attention, Sarah agreed to a date. According to Oscar, she had been seeing the son of a jewellery shop owner, whom her family considered a much more suitable match.
"Fred was not their first choice for Sarah to marry," said Oscar. After their wedding on September 12, 1959, they lived with Sarah's parents at Tall Oaks, their grand red-brick home on a Lawrenceburg hillside.
The couple's first son, Fred Jnr, was born in April 1960. Thompson later won a scholarship to attend Nashville's prestigious Vanderbilt Law School. To his chagrin, however, Thompson's in-laws insisted he work his way through university.
"My dad put him to sorting lumber," said Oscar. "He also worked as a postman and at a local bike plant. I think it added to his realisation that he had to grow up and make something of himself."
When Thompson graduated, he worked for Sarah's lawyer uncle before being given his first political appointment as a federal prosecutor by Richard Nixon's attorney general.
Later the Republicans manoeuvred him into an even more powerful position, as an attorney for the committee probing the Watergate scandal. Transcripts of Nixon's secret White House tapes disclose his real function was to leak the committee's findings to the disgraced President, but the public hailed him as a reformer.
His image as a champion of the people made him much in a demand as a lawyer.
In 1977, he was retained by Marie Ragghianti, who had been sacked from the Tennessee state parole board for accusing Democratic governor Roy Blanton of selling pardons. The trial later became the subject of a 1983 book, Marie.
When the book was optioned as a film, a Hollywood director interviewed those involved in the case.
After meeting Thompson, the director decided to cast the charismatic lawyer to play himself - and so began his Hollywood career.
When the film was released in 1985, a respected critic called Thompson a "real find".
Other roles followed and Thompson grew rich. "It's like finding money on the streets," he said. But he didn't give up his day job, working as a corporate lawyer and lobbyist for clients including General Electric which, in a parallel pleasing to his supporters, once employed Ronald Reagan as its spokesman.
He also lobbied for less savoury clients which,according to last week's Newsweek, included deposed Haitian president Jean-Bertrand Aristide and an insurance firm trying to limit payouts to asbestos victims.
Commuting between movie locations and Washington took its toll on his marriage and in May 1981 Sarah filed her accusations of "cruel and inhuman treatment".
She withdrew the petition the following March, and according to her brother, the marriage improved for a while.
But Sarah renewed the proceedings in November 1984, this time citing "irreconcilable differences".
Asked if Thompson was unfaithful, her brother replied carefully: "He has said he 'takes opportunities' [with women]. I will tell you it wasn't physical cruelty and it wasn't mental."
During his first campaign for the US Senate in 1994, Thompson portrayed himself as a Washington outsider, faithful to his rural roots.
He toured Tennessee in a beaten-up pick-up truck, sported a cowboy hat, chewed tobacco and swapped catfish recipes. In fact, his real passions are expensive cars and fine wines.
Whenever pressed about issues, he delivers platitudes. He supports the Iraq War and free-market capitalism and is opposed to most government interference with 'individual rights'.
Thus he would repeal gun control but is '100 per cent' on the side of those who would ban abortion.
Like his hero, Ronald Reagan, he has no interest in the trivial details of political office but has been praised as a 'first-class communicator'.
In 1994, Senate Republicans picked him to deliver their response to a major economic address by Bill Clinton and three years later he investigated allegations that the Democrats committed fundraising abuses.
His laconic southern charm also has made him a magnet for eligible women.
Following his divorce, one of his first girlfriends was Lorrie Morgan, whom US tabloids once linked to Bill Clinton. "He's the kind of man little girls dream about marrying. He opens doors for you, lights your cigarettes, helps you on with your coat, buys wonderful gifts. It's every woman's fantasy," Lorrie said.
After he concluded his second term in the Senate in 2002, he decided to store correspondence from his eight years in office in a public archive at the University of Tennessee.
The papers include a copy of a letter he sent to socialite Georgette Mosbacher during their romance: "We must remember the unspoken vow that all US Senators take - "I shall have no money, and I shall have no fun."
I, of course,regarding myself as an unconquerable soul, am still determined to break the second part of that vow.'
Documents also reveal that during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, he sent a risqué note to Clinton's chief of staff, joking that he shared the President's now notorious taste in cigars.
When Thompson met Jeri, the blonde who may become America's 'First Babe', she was struggling with thousands of dollars of debts.
She had been living with stockbroker Bernard Alvey, even taking his surname although they never married, but he too had financial woes and she clearly considered multi-millionaire Thompson a better catch.
After they began dating, she complained she faced competition from other women: "I can't get up to get a cocktail at a party without coming back and finding some girl in my chair."
The couple now have two children. With Democrat strategists planning to portray Jeri as a gold-digger, Thompson's hopes of using her to counteract his image as an ageing Lothario are fading fast.
But if, as seems inevitable, he faces allegations of promiscuity, they will balance out, say political veterans, because of Hillary Clinton's marital embarrassments.
Leading Democrat Harlan Mathews said: "I think it will be Hillary versus Fred and it will be awfully close. To convince voters you can be a leader, you need to get their attention. Fred knows just how to do that."
Indeed, Americans curious about how Thompson may perform in the Oval Office have had a glimpse of what's to come. Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee, a 19th Century political drama, received poor reviews when it was recently shown on American TV.
But it was notable for one thing. The actor who played the President? Fred Thompson.

Winter's Warmth
36 x 24 Oil on stretched canvas
This is a nearly finished painting. I am just still contemplating where else to piddle with it. I started this one about 3 years ago and put it aside until just recently. Below is what it was before that, except I forgot to take a picture before I started revising it, so the sun is in there. Try to imagine it without the sun. It was pretty bland. The two photos below that are just more progression of the new revisions. It might be finished. I will be posting this one on Etsy pretty soon.

Writing from the Heart to Move the Heart
How does one move the heart in fiction? One way is to create memorable characters that we care about. Characters who face conflict, find a way to resolve the conflict, and grow through the experience.
I recently picked up Roger Rosenblatt's Unless It Moves the Human Heart: The Craft and Art of Writing. Rosenblatt speaks about digging deep into ourselves to reach the emotions and memories that can turn a good phrase into a memorable phrase. As a writer, I am always looking for, and not always finding, le mot juste. If we are not honest about our own emotions and we write from that lack of honesty, then I think we are cheating our readers.
I just finished several books by a long-time best seller. Why? Because he is a groundbreaker in using a specific theme that I want to exploit for Max 3. He remains anonymous, because in the last two books I read, I didn't give a damn about the protagonist. One's anger management problems were so atrocious that I wanted to kill him off myself. The other protagonist whined his way through 300+ pages.
I got to thinking about why I was disappointed. I've read this writer for years and have liked many of his works. In these last two, he abandoned much of why I read him in the first place.
1. Limited character development, not likeable and didn't grow. He plopped them on page one and didn't do much with them afterwards.
2. Evil bad guys so shallow that you could drive a truck through their wickedness, yet the main characters never saw through them. And in one book, a main character is romatically involved with one of the evil people. He drops out of the story 100 pages before the end. She never knows he's behind the attacks on her ex-husband. Come on.
3. Red herrings left to rot on plates on the table.
I'm done reading this writer. I know what not to do. I know I can continue with the themes I've set out for Max 3. I know I need an antagonist who is flawed and with whom the reader can at least empathize. I need to maintain the likeability of Mad Max. If no one likes her, why bother?
Good lessons from Rosenblatt applied to my "light" reading. Thanks, Mr. Rosenblatt. You are making me a better reader and a better writer.

Chartfield's Got Talent: Friday 17th March
Auditions have been taking place in school.
Mrs Brown will find some "freeze-dried critters" for I'm A Year 6… The tickets sales are unconfirmed at this point; Miss Shipley will inform Mrs Brown early next week, so that the correct amount of hot dogs, drinks, etc. can be purchased for the interval.
Votes will cost 20p as in previous events (the PTFA took £600 at last year's show). Chartfield's Got Talent is always a good fundraiser for the PTFA.
Unfortunately, Mrs Garland will be unable to attend. Plans for a staff entry will continue, however.
Mrs Malone and Ms Dyett have offered to help setting up on the day.
A raffle was suggested. The Committee will contribute the prizes.
Any other business:
The school may have some request for assistance from the PTFA in the near future. These include:
- Support in sending the Reception children to the Forest School, once a week for ten weeks.
- Aid in providing new textbooks for the school, in music, for example.
Mrs Garland offered her time for an adult Yoga evening, with a £10 entry contribution per person being donated to the PTFA. It was suggested that this take place during the next half term (following the Easter break).
An Auction of Promises is, likewise, planned for early in the Summer Term. Ms Dyett informed the Committee that she receive a 10% discount from the Co-op, should this be required.
Mrs Brown suggested holding a regular tuck shop in aid of the PTFA. Including healthy foods, such as fruit, was suggested in addition to chocolate.
Mrs Calcutt intends to plan a second Treasure Hunt over the Easter holiday, and it was suggested that this might take place during the Summer Term on this occasion.
Miss Forsdike has spoken to the local food bank regarding the donation of excess Easter eggs. She will send a note for parents to Miss Shipley for distribution, offering parents the option to do so as individuals and not as part of a school campaign.
The next meeting is to be confirmed.

When I first heard the story of Melissa Petro, the tenured Bronx grade school arts & creative writing teacher who was reassigned to administrative duty after she wrote a piece for The Huffington Post criticizing Craigslist for removing its adult-services section while recounting her experiences as a former sex worker, I was incensed. Incensed because 1. As Petro recounts in her interview withMarie Claire's Abigail Pesta for the magazine's January issue, a reporter for The New York Post "broke the story" after putting the pieces together (in the HuffPo piece, she didn't mention she was a teacher but had so in other written works), and wrote a sensationalized, dehumanizing article that leads in with "Meet Melissa Petro — the teacher who gives a new twist to 'sex ed.'"; and 2. Because she was reassigned on the basis of her past – a past that in no way endangered the children she taught- the children that, according to articles and Petro's own account, love her.
I am a firm believer that in, eight out of 10 situations, the past should remain in the past, and, in Petro's case, it falls within that eight. I fail to see how her work as a former stripper and sex worker – two professions she chose on her own accord – affects her ability to teach children properly and passionately. She's not a registered sex offender nor was she accused of child sexual abuse. Her Craigslist clients, Petro says, were mainly "well-off" and "educated" – the 20- or 30-something year-old guys in suits. By reassigning her, we are only reaffirming the notion that no matter how competent you are in your current life, your past will still determine your future, even if it's not entirely relevant – and that, while we live in a society that sexualizes young girls and thrives on sex and sexuality in entertainment, we're absolutely afraid of it.

FAQs on Facet Joint Syndrome (Spinal Arthritis) in Nashville and Murfreesboro TN
Arthritis of the spinal facet joints can be a serious source of back pain. Facet joint syndrome (FJS) occurs when the joints suffer damage from age, injury, or degeneration. The facet joints link each vertebra together, and they are covered with articular cartilage (smooth, rubbery material). With aging and wear, cartilage loss occurs, resulting in spinal arthritis where the bone ends cannot move smoothly.
How common is facet joint syndrome?
According to researchers, facet joint arthritis causes around 30% of chronic low back pain, but the prevalence rate of facet joint syndrome is reported as 4%.
What is the cause of spinal arthritis?
The facet joints should join together snugly and glide without pressure or friction. If pressure builds where the facet joints meet, and the cartilage erodes, facet joint syndrome occurs. Injury or problems with any of the spinal structures will contribute to this condition. When the intervertebral disc age and thin, the spaces between each vertebra shrinks, causing the facet joints to press together. Anything that puts extra stress on the facet joint surface can cause problems with movement or alignment, including torn ligaments, fractures, and disc degeneration.
What are the symptoms of facet joint syndrome?
Facet joint arthritis develops gradually, so symptoms do not develop immediately. However, rapid movements, backward motions, and heavy twisting can cause low back pain from this condition. Pain from spinal arthritis is usually worse upon rising of the morning. In addition, sideways bending will produce pain on the side of the arthritic facet joint. Pain is typically felt in the center of the back (thoracic spine) and the lower region (lumbar spine), and the pain can spread to one or both buttocks. Many patients with facet joint syndrome also have leg symptoms, such as tingling, numbness, and weakness, as this is a result of nerve compression.
What are the treatment options for spinal arthritis?
Treatment for facet joint syndrome will depend on the severity of the pain and the patient's health status. Options include:
- Medications – The pain management specialist will prescribe nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to treat the pain associated with facet joint syndrome. For severe pain, oral steroids are used short-term, and if the patient experiences muscle spasms, a muscle relaxant is prescribed.
- Physical therapy – The physical therapist evaluates the patient's condition and develops an exercise plan to help with strengthening back muscles and improving spine flexibility. Pain relief measures include ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and hot/cold therapy.
- Facet joint injection (FJI) – Patients who have severe back pain from spinal arthritis can have one or more FJIs. The doctor inserts small needles into the facet joints, using x-ray guidance. A long-acting anesthetic is used as the blocking agent, instilled onto the nerves near the spinal cord. Sometimes, a corticosteroid is injected to offer long-term pain relief. In a recent study, FJI had a 74% success rate.
- Medial Branch Block – this procedure places numbing medicine and possibly steroid medication around the facet joint in the region of where the sensory nerve endings bring sensation to the painful joint. These nerve endings are called medial branches, and these blocks may provide months of relief on average.
- Facet rhizotomy – This procedure is done to cut or destroy the nerve(s) causing back pain. Using a diagnostic injection (FJI), the doctor identifies the nerves, and inserts a small, hollow needing through the back tissues. A probe is inserted through the needle catheter, which emits heat onto the nerves. Another approach to facet rhizotomy involves the use of laser irradiation, which has a 70% efficacy rate.
- Epidural steroid injection (ESI) – With this procedure, a corticosteroid agent is injected into the epidural space, near the spinal cord. According to a recent review of studies, ESI has an 80-90% success rate.

SmartWatch - Straight back through the heady days of 2012, before the Pebble lifted a crazy amount of cash on Kickstarter, Sony quietly introduced an SmartWatch of a unique. By most accounts it wasn't excellent, but that does not suggest that Sony has directed it for the junk pile.
No, with hindsight being what it's, Sony is trying to breathe some new life into that curious little device with some help from the developer community. The organization has knocked off what it calls the Open SmartWatch program to acquire developers preparing up custom firmwares for the point.
In the event you haven't been monitoring the wearable gadgetry area, Sony launched the SmartWatch in question last year to mixed reviews. The concept is a very familiar one the view syncs to an Android-powered smart-phone and displays messages and notifications, along with goes a multitude of bespoke SmartWatch apps. Any of the copycats which have sprung up in its wake or because of its Android underpinnings, you may easily consider it being a better quality model of the Pebble.
As iffy as Sony's second-gen SmartWatch was, nearly all of the issues appeared to be rooted in its application (and to its credit, Sony keeps pushing out patches and upgrades for that issue). Sony's is one of the prettier SmartWatches on the market, and the specification list has just enough oomph to create it a stylish option for some frenzied night time tinkering. By draining out Sony's work and starting fresh, hackers are mostly left with a slate, and the business is focused on highlighting a few of the most novel firmware when they start appearing.
To simply help end this whole thing off, Sony has also tapped Arduino to hold a in Malmo, Sweden, to have antsy designers more familiar with the SmartWatch and what it is able to. There's, as often, a caveat: you may be breaking new ground with a product that a lot of people have not given a second thought to, but you'll be giving up access to the almost 200 compatible purposes boating in the Google Play store.

WALNUT CREEK — A big-rig crash and fire with multiple injuries has halted the Friday morning commute on I-680 just south of State Route 24.
Reports indicate the big-rig may have caught fire near the Main Street on-ramp in Walnut Creek shortly before 7 a.m.
The big-rig driver was injured, along with three people hit by flying debris which caused several vehicles to overturn.
The fire from the big-rig spread to vegetation on the side of the highway but is now out, according to Contra Costa Fire spokesperson Robert Marshall.
All of the northbound lanes are closed. As of 8:20 a.m., southbound traffic is slowly moving through.
Crews are working to clear the remaining debris and 100 gallons of diesel fuel. CHP estimates northbound I-680 will reopen around noon.
No word on what caused the explosion.
