The Astute Miss Fisher Goes Interactive | Touch and Go
Mar 22, 2018 | Filed in Reviews+
This engaging game will intrigue mystery buffs and entertain fans of the "Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries" television series.
I'm not sure why I resisted tuning in to the Australian "Miss Fisher" period mystery series—period being 1920s Melbourne—but I eventually gave in and was instantly hooked. Now Tin Man Games, the developer of "Ryan North's To Be or Not To Be" and other apps, captures the unflappable amateur detective's adventures on digital. Andrea Lipinski reviews it below. Miss Fisher and the Deathly Maze (Tin Man Games, iOS, Android; free to download, with IAPs; Gr 7 Up), an interactive game based on the Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, features several of the television show's major characters in the 1920s Australia setting. As usual, Miss Phryne Fisher finds herself at the center of several suspicious deaths, and must use her investigative skills to deduce what happened. Also, typically, she calls upon Jack Robinson (her favorite local detective inspector) to help solve the case. There is no voice acting in the game (the dialogue is all written text), but the musical score from the TV series is used throughout, with additional sound effects. Slight animations are also in evidence. Fans of the show will have two important questions about this game: Does the glamorous Phryne have an equally fashionable wardrobe as the one in the show, and, is her relationship with Jack as flirtatious? The answers: yes and yes. Much of the game consists of players watching the story unravel, but there are several ways in which they can interact with it to make things happen—in both small and significant ways. By questioning suspects, players will collect clues that can later be explored using the "deduce" feature to get to the truth. By examining everything in each setting, viewers will discover more of Phryne's outfits, which she will be able to don later. There are also several short hidden-object games, which players can complete, or skip, if they'd prefer. This game is clearly designed for people who have already watched the TV show (if they haven't, it's definitely binge-worthy—especially for its twisted mysteries, unique settings, and romantic entanglements). With at least the first season of the show under their belts, viewers will have extra incentive to root for these characters. VERDICT An engaging game that will intrigue mystery buffs and entertain fans of the "Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries" series.—Andrea Lipinski, New York Public Library

Huge Phryne fan, so thank you for this! Just one small correction - it's Miss Fisher and the *Deathly* Maze for those looking for the app.

In the mid-1980s, inspired by Marcel Duchamp's objets trouvés, André Ribeiro combined two contrary materials: diamonds and rubber. His source of inspiration was a black sealing ring used for plumbing pipes. With the diamond, the hardest of all gemstones and the stone with the best light reflection properties, Ribeiro found the ideal complement. Thanks to the rubber's tension, the connection between the diamonds set in gold and the soft base material is not only dynamic but also does justice to the materials involved. "The question of the value of what is intrinsically worthless and the worthlessness of the valuable reflects a stance that is basic to my life," says Ribeiro. Paulina's Friends presents Ribeiro's earliest unknown work from the 80-ies, which is considered to be a precursor of the diamonds rubber collection.


A true gem of the Ionian Sea!
Bellou Villas are Great, Clean, Quiet, Convenient, Nothing to complain about. What more could you ask for a wonderful family holiday.Don't forget to rent a car!
Bellou is a collection of 3 private villas for rent which are all closely located but each, individually, very private. Together they cover an area of 7,000 square meters built into the hillside of the village of Karoubatika and they are set back 200m from the road, which leads to the beaches mentioned above, and also means that the are very peaceful due to the rural setting. These villas have been lovingly designed with family and entertaining in mind because each property has its own private manicured garden with lots of outdoor terrace spaces and each villa has it's own private pool. All three villas are very unique and deserve their own description - please see below.


We finally got a nice, big snow storm today. I was hoping that we would get at least one this year, and we did-- in March. But I'll take it. Although tomorrow I will be back to wanting Spring to arrive at any moment.
Here are some photos from around the house.

Adventures Of Fatherhood
new fatherhood headshot
In response to the kids making a beach day miserable last weekend, they each were sent to their rooms for an hour — without electronics — to think it over.
With an afternoon free of sports and other commitments and knowing soon the weather will turn, we headed to the beach. For whatever reason, on this particular day, the misbehavior and non-listening were absurd. Despite repeated threats they would be going straight to their rooms when we got home if they didn't start making better choices, the bad decisions continued.
It was as if they were trying us on every level possible and eventually we packed up and left earlier than we had planned because they were so rotten and making us miserable.
Pam and I were not happy about it and the kids knew it. I don't think one word was spoken by either of us and even Beckett was quieter than usual because he understood he and his little brother had aggravated us to a new level.
Carson took the quiet ride home to grab a quick nap. That further frustrated me actually considering it was 5 p.m. and I knew it would mess up his nighttime schedule.
As soon as we got home, we had the boys hit the showers and head directly to their room for an hour. Neither seemed to be expecting it, despite the fact we both told them what would happen if they continued to be so bad on the beach.
"I didn't know you were serious about that," said Beckett as he marched upstairs.
Carson followed behind hunching his shoulders like he was an innocent party in the whole thing, but I had the sand up my nose and in my ears to prove that was not the case from his sand-throwing exploits.
For some reason, they were just a wreck and ruined a beautiful day on the beach. Why that was the case I have no idea.
What I do know is those 60 minutes spent in their room was the quickest hour of the weekend.
I'm not one for vehicle bumper stickers but one that came home from school with Carson the other day will have to find a spot.
Compared to one year ago when he was struggling in school with behavior, Carson, 5, is off to a great start in kindergarten. I like to think he has matured over the last year but I also give credit to his teacher and aides at Ocean City Elementary who seem to have built a solid rapport with him in a few short weeks.
The highlight of his first month in all-day school was being deemed a "Star Citizen" for demonstrating kindness and a caring way. That happened to occur the same week I received an award for professional achievement, but I was definitely more excited for Carson's honor because it was a reminder how far he has come in improving his behavior in school.
Although there are still temporary losses of sanity, something seems to have changed with him over the last couple months. A definite maturation seems to have taken place.
I try not to overthink this change, but Pam and I have embraced it and he is well aware of how proud we are, although he's reluctant to accept the praise. Whenever we show him the "My child was honored as a Star Citizen at Ocean City Elementary" sticker, he turns away embarrassed because he's not one for being in the spotlight and gets uncomfortable easily. That just makes us fuss over him more.
It's exciting for us that he is showing other people his kind heart through his actions because he can't by his words since he's non-verbal.
It's comforting to know others see what's inside him, like the other weekend when he randomly started walking up to strangers on the beach and hugging them or last week after Beckett's soccer game when he put his arm around his brother's coach during the post-game huddle.
Now we just knock on wood, live day to day and hope the school year continues in the right direction and decide which vehicle gets the sticker.
With Beckett this school year, independence has been the goal.
Along we talk about school every day and look at the work brought home, we are trying desperately to let our second grader know he's accountable.
For example, one night this week Pam reminded him he had a math test the next day, and he showed no interest in studying. Rather than fight him on it, we are letting him make his own decisions. If he doesn't want to study, then he will have to deal with the consequence of a bad grade. It will be on him.
Fortunately in this case, he did just fine on the test without further studying — at least while at home.
There was an indication this approach may be paying off the other night when he asked me to quiz him in advance of his reading test the next day. It was a good thing, too, because he was not ready for it.
It was a typical parenting week, full of ups and downs, but mostly ups.

Lazio and Milan drew 0-0 in the first leg of their Italy Cup semifinal at Rome's Olimpico Stadium on Tuesday.
A total of 30,000 fans turned out, 5,000 of whom traveled from Milan to support their team, according to RAI public television.
Milan keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma stopped Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic's long shot in the 66th minute, and Lazio striker Ciro Immobile hit the post at the 80th minute before a late offside flag went up.
"Three whistles and no goals at the Olimpico: we'll see you in two months for the return," Lazio tweeted.
"The Olimpico draw leaves it all to be played for in the second leg," tweeted AC Milan.
The return match is set for April 24, while Fiorentina face Atalanta at home in the first leg of the other semifinal on Wednesday.


When I was a kid, I thought you had to be rich to live in a big city. I grew up in Dublin, Texas, population 2,312. Everyone was poor. I don't think my parents ever made more than $10,000 a year. Everyone I met who lived in a big city like Dallas or Houston had new cars and nice houses in clean subdivisions. I lived in a world where you didn't have to be rich or smart to be content. Everyone spoke the same language with their "reckons" and "fixin' to." We dressed the same with our outdated blue jeans and t-shirts. We drove old trucks and dirty cars and shopped at the same IGA grocery store and Bill's Dollar Store. But we were separated by our churches. My family went to the Catholic church—it was on the low end of the social scale. It was for Yankees, misfits, and Mexicans. The First Baptist church was the good church. If you wanted to be respected in town, you went to First Baptist and you didn't let anyone catch you at the beer store at the county line. My parents were ex-hippies. My dad the artist spent his days painting in his studio in our backyard, and my mom the dance teacher helped make ends meet with her dance school that she operated out of our home. I couldn't have been any different from the other kids in Dublin, but I fit in. We were bound by our isolation from normal society. I was comfortable in my skin. I was not ashamed of where I came from. I didn't know I spoke with an accent. I didn't know we were poor. But that all changed when I left Dublin after college.
I went to college at Tarleton State University which was exactly 10.2 miles from my front yard. I made the drive to school every morning and returned in the evening to my parent's home where I still lived. College was the first time I ever went to a new school and had new classmates, but the scenery wasn't much of a change. We were an agricultural school located in the "Rodeo Capital of the World." I taught dance lessons for Mama, worked at the school newspaper, and majored in English. I began to loathe Dublin and everything about it. Even though college was only 10 miles away, I began to open my eyes to the fact that Dublin was a dusty little town that would snuff out my creativity and individuality if I stayed there any longer. I was old enough to know that poor people could live in a big city. I wanted to live in Dallas in an apartment and sit in traffic in my new car and pretend that Dublin never existed. I felt that I was destined to be somebody important and do something really great with my life. My senior year, I took a television broadcasting class. I wanted to be a news anchor in Dallas—I wanted to cut my hair short with bangs and work in a "top market" even though I didn't know what a "top market" was. I just wanted out of Dublin.
I quit calling home on the weekends to talk to my parents. I was angry at them for not raising me with things like an Ivy League education and a Northern accent. I felt like everyone was laughing at me for the way I talked or the way I dressed or the way I ordered food. It was hard growing up poor and hungry, but it was even harder to pretend that my former life never existed. No matter how hard I tried to reject my past, it always seemed to sneak up on me. Like the time I referred to a "salon" as a "beauty shop." I didn't think I would ever hear the end of that slip-up. "Oh my God, you're so country!" laughed my friend from Ohio. Little things would creep into my memory and remind me of where I came from. Like the full moon—it always reminded me of Mama.
Mama is a big believer in the power of full moons. Normally I don't take much stock in that stuff. I may notice the full moon on my calendar when I write down a doctor visit for my daughter or a dentist appointment for my son. I might blame my children's unruly behavior on the full moon. But nothing notable tends to happen, and I am usually in bed by the time the glowing orb hits the horizon.
Mama lives by the moon phases. She does her gardening and planting by the moon. She cuts her hair and throws away old furniture and clothes according to which hemisphere of the moon is glowing. Mama knows I don't pay any attention to the moon phases, nor do I have a garden or the need to plant vegetables in my backyard, but she continues to remind me of the moon cycles when we talk on the phone. Despite my Mama's sage advice, I never can keep up with the things I'm supposed to do on the full moon and I never can distinguish the difference between the new moon and the full moon. I do remember Mama telling me to cut a potato in half and plant it in my backyard during a new moon. I don't remember why. Perhaps it had something to do with cutting my heartbreak in half and new beginnings or something about my poor health at the time. I didn't learn what a harvest moon was until last year, and I am 37 years old. I knew about the song Harvest Moon, but I didn't know it was a real thing. You would think that living close to the coast in Savannah would make me more aware of the moon phases and tide levels but it hasn't. I just know that we have a moon, that we have walked on it, and that it is definitely not made out of cheese.
About three years ago, my life as a stay-at-home mother and Army wife ended in a divorce that left me penniless and jobless. My husband of 12 years left us, and I was left alone to restart my career and care for my two children on my own. Our last duty station with the Army was near Savannah. I fell in love with the city, the marsh, and the palm trees. I decided to raise the children there by myself instead of running back to Mama and Daddy in Texas. I got a job as a pre-school teacher at a daycare center. I made 10 dollars an hour and I had no benefits. It was the best job I could find at the time. After six months of potty training and feeding other people's children, I quit and went back to college to finish my master's degree. My class schedule was always changing, and sometimes I had to go to class in the evening. One winter night I had a class that ended around 7:30 p.m., and the sun was setting when I began the drive back home.
To get from downtown Savannah to my house, I have to take I-16 to I-95. The on-ramp that connects the two interstates is a long sloping curve that loops my vehicle almost in the opposite direction, so I have to slow down quite a bit to make the turn safely. As I crawled along in my minivan, I noticed a large dark lump on the side of the road. There was no one behind me, so I slowed down even more so I can see what this animal-like figure was. It looked like a dead dog with a bloated stomach, but as I got closer, I noticed that the head of the dead animal was disproportionately larger than its seemingly swollen body.
As my van rolled past the scene, I peered down and the identity of the dead thing began to register in my brain. What took about two seconds seemed to last several minutes as all the pieces clicked together to form one solid image. It was a dead baby donkey. It wore a small sombrero that fit snuggly over his once erect ears. He wore a homemade flower-print dress. His legs seemed too short and slender to hold up the weight of his body. A splash of blood encircled his body and had begun to run down the onramp. Flies flittered around his nostrils, and I saw a cloud of gnats dance above his closed eyelids. His light grey fur looked clean, almost manicured. He looked like a stuffed animal, not road kill. If it had not been for the blood and the insects swarming, I would have guessed the poor little guy was napping.
"What in the hell?" I mumbled to myself. I realized it was time to merge into the fast-paced traffic on I-95. I pressed the accelerator in an effort to flee the scene. I didn't want anyone to know I looked at the dead baby and fled.
"Did that poor animal just fall off of the circus truck or what?" I turned down the radio and drove in total silence for the next three minutes. I racked my brain and tried to think of all the possible scenarios that would have left a dead baby donkey on the side of the highway.
I tried to make myself feel better by thinking, "Maybe it was just a dwarf donkey and not a baby." I had no idea how that was any better, but it made me feel better for some reason. Perhaps it eased some of the guilt of leaving a helpless foal on the side of the road.
The image looped in my brain. The snapshot needed explanation; it needed a backstory. Who leaves an animal in a homemade dress on the side of the road? How do you not make sure something so miniature is not safely stowed for travel?
I had an image of a sweet old Mexican man wearing dirty overalls and a worn straw hat. Perhaps he runs some sort of low-rent circus or petting zoo for children's birthday parties. The man has an antique red truck that blows thick black smoke from the rusted tailpipe and the worn engine rattles like a broken sewing machine. Behind his truck is his small trailer that is fabricated out of old plywood and wooden two-by-fours. He arrives at his trailer home in a rural neighborhood and parks his truck in his driveway. He goes to the back of his truck to unload all of his little animals and realizes that his baby donkey with the small hat is missing. He covers his mouth with his dirty craggy hand and begins to sob like a little boy who has lost his puppy. He jumps back into his truck and retraces his steps back to the onramp to retrieve his popular performer who lies lifeless on his side. The man spots his tiny friend and parks his truck on the side of the road. He then frantically digs in the back of his truck to find a soft blanket to wrap up his pint-sized performer and take him home for a proper burial.
"Hmm, that's strange," she replied, anticipating a bigger story.
After a brief silence, she started laughing which made me start laughing so hard I had tears coming down my face. This explosion of giggling at an inappropriate moment was a typical exchange for us, but not a safe reaction for a person moving a 4,000 pound vehicle down the interstate at 70 miles per hour. My therapist would attribute this laughter at the dead baby donkey to some sort of coping mechanism.
"What are you talking about?" I asked as my laughter stalled.
"Remember how he sold that old van to those people who said that were gonna use it to go around and pick up dead animals?" she replied.
I had forgotten about that. Dublin became a dairy hub in the mid-1980s. The town is located in Erath County, which is the top milk producer for the state. Corporate dairies are the standard, and most dairies pack at least 2,000 cows into their milk factories. Dead cows are a common problem, and dairy workers just pile them up in the hot Texas sun until someone can come and haul them away. Dairy owners pay someone to come out to their farm to pick up and dispose of the dead animals. I have no idea what this service costs, but I would imagine they get paid pretty well since they have to have certain licenses and dairies are not allowed to dispose of dead cows on their own.
After I said goodbye to my sister and hung up the phone, I thought about our conversation as I drove the remainder of my trip home in silence. I realized that part of the reason I had forgotten about the fact that our old family vehicle was used to pick up dead farm animals was because I had grown accustomed to that way of life. I had been removed from the oddities of Dublin for almost 15 years. I wondered if the dead baby donkey would have freaked me out if I still lived that life—the life where it was no big deal to be stuck on the highway behind the used cow dealer. The putrid smell of cows stacked up like a slab a flapjacks in the 100 degree summer weather should have made me a vegetarian. But the idea that a used cow dealer was an odd job never occurred to me. That night, I dreamed of that dead donkey. He danced around in his homemade dress and sunhat with flies crawling on his face.
I realized that I had not thought about the looming foreclosure and money woes associated with my house in a few days. According to the judge in my divorce a few years earlier, I was lucky to get the house so the children and I would not have to move. I didn't understand how being awarded a house that was worth less than its outstanding debt was a good thing, but I took what I could get. It would have been nice if the judge had made sure I was able to get enough financial help from my ex-husband to provide the children with a home, but apparently I asked too much of the court. After almost two years, the mortgage payments fell behind and I was faced with foreclosure.
"Well, I don't want to force the universe to do anything," I said sarcastically. We ended our call and I sat down on my sofa in my living room and looked around at the home that I knew I would eventually lose. I knew I couldn't change the universe. I couldn't even change myself after over 15 years of trying to be someone I was not. "Who was I kidding?" I thought to myself. It wasn't Mama's fault that I grew up country instead of worldly. It wasn't my fault that I said, "ya'll" instead of "you guys." I realized I needed to quit being so mad at the world, myself, and Mama. I came from a place where people got paid to pick up dead animals. I came from a place where Catholicism is thought of as kin to Satanism. "It's nobody's fault that I talk this way," I thought. "It's just the hand I was dealt." And then I felt the feeling I had been longing for since I walked out of the courthouse after my divorce—it was indifference. I could honestly say that I was not worried about losing the house anymore. I could not remember when I had last thought about my ex-husband and how much I hated him. I was focused on finishing school and taking care of the children. I hadn't tried to cover up my "reckons" and "fixin to" in a very long time.
Perhaps there was something to that whole full moon stuff after all. I mean if I could laugh about the insanity of seeing a dead baby donkey on the side of the road, then maybe the tides were changing for me. I didn't even have to cut a potato in half and bury it in my backyard like Mama told me to do.
Whether it was a full moon, a new moon, a harvest moon, or a blue moon, it didn't seem to matter to me. What did matter to me was the fact that each coming moon phase was a sign that time had passed and that life would go on no matter what was happening around me. And just like the dead baby donkey, sometimes there were no happy endings. Sometimes you can do all the right things and follow your mother's advice and still be faced with a horrific scene that begs to be understood. Perhaps it was the impact of the full moon or the shock of the tiny fury body wrapped in homespun garments. It did not matter, because on that day I was content to know that some things in life are better left a mystery, and a cynical girl like me should never force the universe to do anything it doesn't want to do.

Americans 'Running Out of Money' to Pay Bills After Loss of COVID-19-Related 'Financial Cushion'
FACT: Rising Prices are a SYMPTOM of Inflation, Not the Cause. Inflation is Caused by an Increase in Currency Supply.
By Svetlana Ekimenko for Sputnik News

Winston's Comment – FACT: Rising Prices are a SYMPTOM of Inflation, Not the Cause. Inflation is Caused by an Increase in Currency Supply.
In March 2020, in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, US Congress passed temporary enhanced unemployment insurance as part of the $2.2 trillion Cares Act stimulus package. These Federal benefit programmes ended on 4 September 2021.
As the US economy continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic fallout, Americans are finding it increasingly difficult to pay their bills.
According to the Census Bureau's "household pulse" survey, last May, 46.7 percent of respondents said they had no difficulty paying usual household expenses, but by December 2021, it was 39.9 percent.
The number of those acknowledging it was "a little, somewhat or very difficult" to pay those bills rose from 45.9 percent to 49.9 percent during the same period.
According to analysts cited by US media, this is happening as the US economy has been steadily bouncing back, growing at a slightly faster pace in the three months ending September 2021 than originally predicted, according to Commerce Department figures released in late December.
It was stated that GDP had increased at a 2.3 percent annualised rate in the third quarter of last year.
'Financial Cushion'
Gradually eroding buying power, claim analysts, is most probably explained by federal relief ending that was designed to support millions of people during the lockdowns and various measures set in place to curb the spread of the respiratory disease.
Approximately $6 trillion in relief programmes were passed by Congress to allow people to pay for rent, food, and other necessities during the pandemic.
This was done in the form of enhanced unemployment benefits, expanded Child Tax Credit, and the most far-reaching of these programmes – three rounds of stimulus checks. First introduced in the CARES Act of March 2020, Economic Impact Payments (stimulus checks) were direct cash injections directly into the bank accounts of individual people. However, the last stimulus payments went out in the first half of 2020.
In September 2021, emergency federal jobless benefits wrapped up. The expanded child tax credit expired last December, with no clarity regarding whether Congress will renew it.
Furthermore, the curtailment of aid is coming as US inflation surged to 6.8 percent in November – the highest level since 1982.
"There are people who are running out of money. It's getting harder for them to pay their bills. The expiration of expanded unemployment insurance benefits and stimulus payments have taken a toll on household finances," Philippa Dunne of TLR Analytics was cited by Yahoo Finance as saying.
Despite the strains that household finances are revealed to be under, unfilled jobs had reached unprecedented levels in 2021, with employers reporting 10.6 million openings.

With the Omicron variant of the coronavirus driving cases up, several million potential workers are believed to be still wary of catching COVID on the job. Some parents deplore a lack of job offerings with enough flexibility to allow them to manage their children's unpredictable school schedules or care for sick family members.
Federal aid money had granted millions a financial cushion that has evaporated, with analysts predicting that tougher financial times for some Americans may impact political decisions in 2022 and the outcome of upcoming midterm elections.

Q: Django Ajax login form I am trying to submit a login form using ajax. I am confused as to how I am supposed to handle the exceptions/successful responses. I am getting a 200 OK from the server and the form returns error's either by the password/username field. How can I get a error message for to display or redirect the user to the appropriate page depending on the server response?
JQUERY:
56 $(window).load(function(){
57 $('#login_form').submit(function(e){
58             e.preventDefault();
59     var request_url = document.getElementById('next').value
60          $.ajax({
61             type:"POST",
62             url: $(this).attr('action'),
63             data: $('#login_form').serialize(),
64             success: function(response){ $('#msg').text(response);
65             console.log(response);
66             },
67             error: function(xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError){ alert( $('#login_error').text('Username already taken. Please select another one.')},
68           });
69     });
70 });

VIEW: UPDATED
51 def login(request):

53         request.session.set_test_cookie()
54         login_form = AuthenticationForm(request, request.POST)
55         if login_form.is_valid():
56             if request.is_ajax:
57                 user = django_login(request, login_form.get_user())
58                 if user is not None:

11     <input type="submit" value="login"/>
12     <input type="hidden" id="request_path" name="next" value="/"/>
13   </form>
14 <p>{{ request.get_full_path }}</p>
15 <tt id='msg'></tt>

A: Although it's certainly better practice to do this with a json, you can get away without, assuming you're not really passing much info back from the server. On the django side swap out the HttpResponseRedirect for an HttpResponse using the redirect URL as your message. Also add an HttpResponseForbidden for the case that ajax login fails.
def login(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        request.session.set_test_cookie()
        login_form = AuthenticationForm(request, request.POST)
        if login_form.is_valid():
            if request.is_ajax:
                user = django_login(request, login_form.get_user())
                if user is not None:
                    return HttpResponse(request.REQUEST.get('next', '/'))
        return HttpResponseForbidden() # catch invalid ajax and all non ajax
    else:
        login_form = AuthenticationForm()
    c = Context({
        'next': request.REQUEST.get('next'),
        'login_form': login_form,
        'request':request,
    })
    return render_to_response('login.html', c, context_instance=RequestContext(request))

Then on the javascript side, check the status code of the response. If it's 200, then that's your HttpResponse - you want to redirect to the url in the response message. If it's a 403, then that's your HttpResponseForbidden - login has failed. You can get away with a standard 'login failed' error message.
$.ajax({
    type:"POST",
    url: $(this).attr('action'),
    data: $('#login_form').serialize(),
    // the success function is called in the case of an http 200 response
    success: function(response){
        // redirect to the required url
        window.location = response;
     },
    error: function(xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError){
        alert('login failed - please try again');
    },
});

I'm afraid I haven't tested this, but it should give you an idea.
For more info look at the docs for django's HttpResponse objects. Then check out the jquery ajax docs.

A: return HttpResponseRedirect(request.REQUEST.get('next', '/'))

You obviously cant use that if you are doing ajax , the client must be responsible of the redirection/display/whatever is sent back in the Ajax response. If the login is successful , send a JSON response telling the client to redirect itself( with javascript redirection ) , if it is not , send a JSON response with the list of errors and display them using javascript.

Q: DDD and MVC : The Contoller gets the AggregateRoot from Factory not Repository? huh? I recently started on a project with an existing database (Oracle) and MVC 4. Lot's of coding has already occurred.. but there's no "strategy" in the code.. just DB -> ORM -> Controller. So i'm trying to add some flare to the development as well as practice some DDD development techniques.
I have defined a couple Aggregate Roots, Each has a repository which deals with saving them and deleting (and their children), etc.. one of these Aggregate Roots has reference to another Aggregate Root, and it deals with it's "child objects" through it.
example:
A Client has one or more purchase orders which has Line Items,
if a client wants to add a line item to the purchase order,
it has to go through the purchase order.

that's fine.. client Aggregate Root, purchase order Aggregate Root.
Now, some Services have also popped out, like a service which modifies the statuses of the purchase order, it removes the burden from the Purchase Order AR, and it's nice and clean and purposed (it could be used by other "things" to update the status of a purchase order), (maybe that should be a part of the Purchase Order AR? a minor detail..)
The repositories are currently doing their job of persisting the data from the database and "fills up" the AR's with data. when the AR "saves" it, the repository, saves anything that needs saving. The Purchase Order Repository is used by the Client AR so the client can load up any Purchase orders it may contain.. Hopefully I'm on the right track.
Now, enter MVC. So I've also got some ViewModels, which are basically display definitions on what needs to be pumped out to the User. Automapper has proved frickin AWESOME, so i can just "auto map" to the view model. No brains needed, perfect..
NOW, the implementation details which are really throwing me off..
The controller currently is working through a Client Factory, which returns a Client AR, which can then do anything that the purchase order list controller will need to do, which is manage associated purchase orders (as a whole, and not the purchase orders details or data in this case).
So now i want to make sure this is correct.. because a lot of the examples I see have the controllers working with repositories, not factories, but I have also seen factories being recommended for creating AR's.. which leads me to believe that in the examples, controllers are dealing with aggregate roots, but such a way that it requires the "consumer" has to query the AR in order to Get an AR:
Like:
Get the Client Aggregate where the ClientID is 15

Or better yet:
get the Client Aggregate, where the ClientID is 15
and where active purchase orders > 0 ...or something..

Which could look like:
ClientAR = ClientRepository.GetClientByIDAndHasActivePurchaseOrders(15);
resultsImLookingFor = ClientAR.PurchaseOrders(); //or something

I feel like in this case, the repository would have "Filled" the ClientAR to my needs, so now i have this ClientAR thing which varies based on it's usage, it smells to me..
Using a Factory "Feels Better" because i'm just creating a ClientAR from the Factory and then using it, it's not changing based on situation.. it is what it is..
ClientAR  = ClientFactory.CreateClient(15) // returns a ClientAR
resultsImLookingFor = ClientAR.GetPurchaseOrdersByStatus(statusID);

Or Maybe I"m totally missing it and I should be doing this::
ClientAR = ClientRepository.GetClientByID(15, PurchaseOrderSpec)

Am I missing the specification side of things? (At this point, i dont have enough to really get going with specs (just yet) because i need to get this things working)
I'm trying not to get bogged down into the details of implementation, because of course my bossman doesn't give a crap about how i do it.. thus far, implementing things with at least thinking about DDD (hopefully i'm getting it) has proven pretty nice with the testablility and the Logical "boundaries" of responsibility that results from this "pattern" or "way of thinking" i guess I should say..
So, am i approaching this correctly? if it's arguable, i'm okay with that.. if it's just plain WRONG then guidance is definitely appreciated, and if i'm way off, constructive criticism wont hurt my feelings if there's a good reason behind it..
thanks in advance.

A:
So i'm trying to add some flare to the development as well as practice
  some DDD development techniques.

Flare isn't usually a desirable quality for a project and can be counterproductive leading to acronym-driven development, resume-driven development, etc. The same goes for DDD - don't try to apply the DDD tactical patterns without understanding the drawbacks.

one of these Aggregate Roots has reference to another Aggregate Root

References between ARs should be restricted to identity references, not object references wherever possible. An AR should define a consistency boundary which may not necessarily lead to a model which mirrors reality in the most natural way. Expressing the relationship between a client and a PO can be accomplished with an identity reference - a PO has a client ID on it. Take a look at Effective Aggregate Design by Vaughn Vernon for more on this.

maybe that should be a part of the Purchase Order AR?

Any modifications of entity state should be encapsulated by the entity. Domain services can provide functionality to entities where that functionality does not naturally fit into an existing entity.

The repositories are currently doing their job of persisting the data
  from the database and "fills up" the AR's with data. when the AR
  "saves" it, the repository, saves anything that needs saving. The
  Purchase Order Repository is used by the Client AR so the client can
  load up any Purchase orders it may contain.. Hopefully I'm on the
  right track.

Neither an AR nor entities or value objects should reference a repository or call any methods on it. Repositories should be called by an application service. It is unlikely that a Client AR should contain a collection of POs. Instead, a list of a client's PO should be provided by the PO repository. The relationship is still there, it is just implemented with a repository instead of an object traversal. The reason for this goes back to the AR being a consistency boundary.

The controller currently is working through a Client Factory

A factory should only be used to create new instances, not access persisted instances - this is what a repository is for. You can architect the presentation layer (MVC) in a few ways. A typical DDD architecture is to have controllers reference application services. Application services in turn implement specific use cases by coordinating repositories, factories, infrastructure services and invoking behaviors on ARs. Say you have a use case where a client creates a new PO. The code would look something like:
public ActionResult CreatePurchaseOrder(CreatePurchaseOrderViewModel viewModel)
{
   var poData = viewModel.CreatePurchaseOrderData();

   this.purchaseOrderAppService.CreatePurchaseOrder(viewModel.ClientId, poData);

   return RedirectToAction("Index");
}

...

public class PurchaseOrderAppService
{
  readonly IClientRepository clientDb;
  readonly IPurchaseOrderRepository poDb;

  public void CreatePurchaseOrder(int clientId, PurchaseOrderData poData)
  {
     var client = this.clientDb.Get(clientId);

     var purchaseOrder = PurchaseOrderFactor.Create(client, poData);

     this.poDb.Add(purchaseOrder);
     this.poDt.Commit(); // committing of Unit of Work should be moved up to infrastructure level
  }
}

Take a look a this DDDSample.Net project which contains an MVC UI implementation for a DDD project.

Guy Perspective
Things All Guys Should Stop Doing by Age 30
8 Habits Guys Need to Drop When They Hit 30
Dean Stattmann
There are some things that you can get away with in your 20s that simply don't fly in your 30s — like drawing a boner on the face of a drunk friend because "he passed out with his shoes on! Everyone knows that rule!"
And then there are the things that aren't overtly offensive, or even wrong, per se, but will ultimately hold you back, be it in your career, your relationships, or with regard to your health.
RELATED: Sex in Your 30s
Now, we're just going to go ahead and assume your dick-drawing days are behind you and focus on the latter (and if they aren't, well, you might be too far gone — and you're also not invited to any of our parties, ever).
Some of them will make sense right away, others might seem feeble, but you'd be surprised by the cumulative effect that small changes can add up to. After all, you live life one day at a time and yet here you are ... 30. Man, when did that happen?
1. Not Fighting for What You Believe In
Remember how when you were little you used to think the grown-ups had everything figured out? By now you've probably realized that there's no such thing as a "grown-up" and we're all just trying to do our best while making sense of this world. Well, the same applies to our goals, dreams, and personal standards. Many of us go through our teens and 20s with a feeling that change is going to come eventually, and when it does we'll start living the lives we envisioned for ourselves.
Spoiler alert: That day never comes. You have to create it. And the sooner you start creating that life, the sooner you'll get to live it. "Not fighting for what you believe in is the same as quitting," says George Foreman III, founder of EverybodyFights. "Whether it's in the gym, at work, or in a relationship, you have to fight for what you want. You may not always win, and that's okay; but it's not yours until you fight for it."
2. Eating at Taco Bell
Most of us can get through our first 30 years on Earth without even understanding what the word "metabolism" means. Then, all of a sudden, we get real familiar. Not only is fast food void of any significant nutritional value, it taxes digestion and litters our bodies with harmful chemicals. Meanwhile, you could be eating something that will actually help you look, feel, and perform better. "Just stop," says Eric Hinman, a CrossFit athlete, two-time Ironman Kona finisher, and co-founder of Syracuse-based healthy eatery Original Grain. "Find a healthy fast-casual restaurant that dishes out satiating salads and grain bowls. They're popping up everywhere, and you won't have heartburn and stomach pains for the next two days!"
3. Talking About Getting a Dog
Look, owning a dog is a responsibility, and to a certain extent there are some non-negotiable prerequisites: You've got to be able to feed it, provide it with enough space to live comfortably, and afford the inevitable vet bills. When you look at it that way, being "ready" is mostly a financial decision. Everything beyond that — like, say, the impact it'll have on your social life — is a choice.
If you've been fantasizing about getting a dog for years — going for walks together, taking it running, letting hot women pet it so you can get their phone numbers — yet despite being financially ready you've yet to pull the trigger, it's time to either make your move or move on, because life is only going to get more complicated from here on out.
"I always imagined myself walking through Central Park, wearing an oversized hoodie, holding a coffee in one hand, and walking my dog with the other," says Mubarak Malik, director of performance for the New York Knicks and the proud new owner of Sophie, an adorable blue French bulldog. "Right now, with the demands of my career, it's definitely not the best time for me to have a dog," he says, "but if I didn't do it now it wouldn't have happened, and now I can't imagine life without Sophie!"
4. Drinking Like Prohibition Is Coming Back
You already know that after around age 30 your metabolism starts pumping the brakes, making it harder to burn calories while also slowing the absorption of nutrients from the foods you eat. Well, here's something you may not know: When you break it down, there are four main sources of calories: protein, carbohydrates, fat, and alcohol. Protein and carbs each contain four calories per gram, fat packs more than double that (nine calories per gram), and for each gram of alcohol you ingest you can add another seven. Additionally, when you drink alcohol, your body prioritizes those calories, causing a good amount of surplus calories from food to be stored as fat rather than being burned for energy.
Combine a regular drinking habit with a slowing metabolism and before you know it, you're gaining weight regardless of how much you work out. And we haven't even gotten to the two-day hangovers yet. (Welcome to 30!).
"It's harder and harder to bounce back after 30," says Brian Mazza, president of the Paige Hospitality Group and co-creator of The Ainsworth, who years ago made the decision to leave drinking behind in order to accelerate his productivity both at work and in the gym. (Check out his Instagram and you tell us if it worked.) The decision has since paid huge dividends for Mazza (quite literally), but he sees cautionary tales all the time. "Before you know it, you're going to be that guy everyone talks about," he says. Don't be that guy.
5. Not Prioritizing Your Mental and Physical Health
For the most part, we tend to take our health for granted through our teens and even our 20s; our bodies seem mostly indestructible, and require minimal maintenance — so we maintain them minimally. Then we turn 30, settle down, and before we know it we don't seem to have the time to take care of ourselves even if we wanted to. The cruel irony, of course, is that's when we need our health the most; our bodies and immune systems are less resilient after 30, and positive lifestyle adjustments take longer to take hold. That's why it is absolutely critical to build physical and mental wellness into your schedule — even if it means setting your alarm clock to go off an hour earlier.
"It's not selfish to put yourself first when it comes to health," says Foreman, who advises hitting the gym first thing in the morning followed by a short 5 to 10-minute meditation to center your mind. "After all, you can't be much good to others if you're not around." Let that one sink in.
6. Going All Sugar Everything
We're not going to act like this is easy to do. When you're deep in the throes of a sugar addiction (let's just call it what it is), it can be extremely difficult to quit the sweet stuff, especially if it's been a central part of your diet for three decades. But the benefits of taking in less sugar on a daily basis — from lowering your risk of life-threatening diseases to shrinking your waistline (to setting a healthy example for your current or future children) — are so powerful that it's worth at least making the effort. Hinman suggests picking one avenue of sugar intake, like, say, your morning cup of coffee, and starting there. "If you need a dash of sweetness, add some steamed almond, oat, cashew, or coconut milk," he says. "And splurge for a pour-over! It's worth it for the taste and caffeine content."
7. Showing Up Late
Remember that old college rule where if a professor was more than 15 minutes late everyone got to leave? Well, that's how people in the real world feel about you when you don't show up on time, except they're not smiling. (Also, that rule never actually existed.) Time is money — quite literally, especially when you're dealing with self-employed entrepreneurs — and wasting that time is an unequivocal sign of disrespect, not to mention that it could cost you some serious missed opportunities.
"Being late to meetings is usually a sign that you are not prepared to succeed," says Mazza, who, through years of consistent integrity, authenticity, and, of course, punctuality, has earned one of the most widely respected reputations in the hospitality world and beyond. "Seriously, stop being late for meetings. You shouldn't be doing it in your 20s, so you definitely shouldn't be doing it in your 30s," he says. "Break that habit."
8. Dogging It at the Gym
Listen, if you're over 30 and you're managing to make your way to the gym, you're already doing better than most guys your age. It's unfortunate, but true. But enough about them — you're doing great! That said, let's be honest: Proximity to the treadmill doesn't increase your fitness. You have to get after it. You already found time to get to the gym, and your body needs these workouts now more than ever, so don't waste your time.
"Your time is valuable, so make the most of your workout," says Foreman. "Don't go in and cruise on the elliptical machine." And if you simply feel like you just don't have it in you to motivate yourself to exercise with the kind of intensity you'd like to, consider taking up a physical activity or sport that you actually enjoy, like boxing, and then use that as a vehicle to upgrade your fitness. "A high-intensity workout like mitt work or a boxing circuit will get you in fighting shape," says Foreman. "And you'll also learn a new skill while you're at it!
