Arrested at 75, charged with blocking plow, Merrimack man says he was just shoveling his drive
Menahem Lowy said the driver had already deposited 2 feet of plowed snow at the end of his driveway and was coming around for another sweep. He said the plow stopped in the street in front of his 13 Mountain View Drive home as Lowy shoveled the end of his driveway.
"It's not I who didn't let him do his job. It's he who didn't let me clean my driveway," a flustered Lowy said Wednesday.
Police said that the driver of the Merrimack Public Works Department plow reported that Lowy was blocking the roadway. Police said in a statement that Lowy complained to police about the driver plowing snow across the end of his driveway.
"With my age and the cold, there is no purpose for me to stand there for 20 minutes," Lowy said. "I just wanted to clean my driveway and go home."

As I've written in past birthday tributes, this man could do voiceovers for the Angels, as his pipes resonate on some pretty amazing frequencies! The first time I heard him was on a Windham Hill Christmas CD about 20 years ago, and his voice immediately got my attention.

O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

(By Balachander) Masonite International Corp., a maker of residential doors, has filed to raise up to $150 million in an initial public offering (IPO) of common stock.
The filing with the U.S. federal regulators did not disclose how many shares the company plans to offer or the pricing terms.
Masonite, which was acquired by an affiliate of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. in March 2005, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2009.
Masonite makes interior and exterior doors for the residential new construction; the residential repair, renovation and remodeling; and the non-residential building construction markets.
For the 12 months ended December 2012, Masonite posted a net loss of $23 million on sales of $1.7 billion.
The company said its two largest customers, Home Depot (NYSE: HD) and Lowe's (NYSE: LOW), accounted for roughly 16 percent and 10 percent of its total gross sales in 2012.
[Related -The Home Depot, Inc. (NYSE:HD): More Room For Improvement]
Shareholders include: Oaktree Capital Management, Mount Kellett Capital Management and Centerbridge Partners.
Masonite intends to list on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "DOOR."

Op-Ed: Champions League failure will only improve Guardiola & tiki-taka
One day you're a hero, the next you're a villain. That's one of the various sub-plots that can be taken from this week's Champions League semi-final showdowns.

Both stylistically and tactically, Real Madrid's emphatic victory over Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena was identical to their first leg triumph over the Bavarians.
Guardiola displays pros & cons as Bayern defeat Manchester United
For all the positives Pep Guardiola offers, the Spaniard's inclination to constantly modify his sides isn't necessarily positive.
Moyes' pragmatism outwits Guardiola's cautious Bayern Munich
David Moyes left Old Trafford a disappointed man as Manchester United earned a valiant draw against European Champions Bayern Munich. Bayern thoroughly dominated possession –– as expected –– but were outwitted by Moyes' efficient approach.
Lightning doesn't strike twice for directionless Arsenal
Dreams of replicating last year's result at the Allianz Arena filled the air, as 3500 Arsenal supporters made the trip to Germany. However, unlike 12 months ago, Arsene Wenger's side didn't convert their chances.

When I'm alone Part 1: EnglandxReaderWhen I'm Alone~ Chapter 1EnglandxReaderYour POV"Are you serious? This is your second time here this month and it's not even half way through! Honestly, there is no way of getting to you!""Oh put a sock in it Arthur.""No, I won't!""Why does it even matter?""Because, I'm not going to get a phone call someday telling me that you were hit by a car or something!""Please, nobody would call you about it.""You know what I mean.""No I really don't. Just fix it." I grumbled as I stuck out my leg straight in his general direction. He was so annoying, acting as if he really cared or something. He just hated patching me up every time I fell, it wasn't as if it really bothered him or something. That I was sure of.I could hear him sigh as he shuffled around the room until I could feel his hands slide my stiletto off of my foot, his rough hands handling the injured foot ever so gently. It was strange to have a man with such hatred towards my actions still treat me with such kindness when ba
EnglandxReader: Red jackets and fluffy hatsEnglandxReader~ Red Jackets and Fluffy hatsArthur POVOh tourists, how I hate you. Just because you are making stupid faces and ridiculous poses does not mean I am going to budge for you. You will never, ever, in a million years make this man move. But no, you don't listen, you keep trying like the idiots you are. You stick your tongues out and make silly noises; you jump up and down as if you were in aerobics, and then get so discouraged wondering how I could possibly not laugh at it.As if their annoying antics weren't enough, the sun also decided to be a complete wanker. It was the middle of July and I am wearing a heavy red jacket, black pants, and the tallest hat on the face of the earth, not to mention it's made of ebony fur. To say I'm sweating would be a definite understatement. My clothing felt so damp I might as well had just come back from a swim at the lake. My head was so hot I thought I might go unconscious from heat stroke. But alas, it is just another day for a Royal G
When I'm alone Part 2: EnglandxReaderArthur POVWell, Francis's simplistic plan would've been the absolute perfect plan if I could have gotten the guts to actually go through with it. Yes, it would've been absolutely spectacular to just waltz right up to her, one of my own patients, and just ask her out on a date but that just wasn't going to be happening. Blame it on my need of this job, or my gentlemanly ways but really, I was just a coward.So with the sudden realization of my feelings it made every visit from her even harder than it already had to be. Every time she would come in with a new break, burn or tear and I would have to try to hold my tongue, just wishing she would know someone cared for her. That's why she never did pay her body's health any attention. She believed no one was looking.Time after time we repeated our routine, and it broke my heart. When would she give this up? Why was she so stubborn? When would enough be enough? Her head was just too damn thick. It killed me to watch her slowly kill herself
When I'm Alone Part 3: EnglandxReaderWhen I'm alone~ Part 3"Come on dude, let's go!""I'm not coming out!""But I want to see, mon ami~!""Hurry up man!""I said no!"Sliding down the side of my bathroom wall, my face in my hands, I never thought that this would be a predicament I'd find myself in. Ever."Move it Arthur!"Some more banging at the door and my head flew up, the back of it hitting the wall. Damn it. This really sucked. Tonight was the 'Big Night' and I was being forced to go out looking like a complete fool. With black skinny jeans, a red t-shirt and converse sneakers, I felt like some High school punk, not like the refined gentleman that I am. Well, was.They claimed that it was all to 'sell' the character, but I think they just want to publicly humiliate me, for the last week that seems to be all that they have been doing. With the shopping, hairstyling and ear piercing, yes, ear piercing, there has been no shortage with the public humiliation. I tried to explain that all of this was pointless, she's blin
I dreamed a dream Part 1: GermanyxReaderI dreamed a dream ~Chapter 1Ludwig POV"Ludwig! Ludwig!"I heard her voice off in the distance, mixing in with the rest of the commotion of the school's cafeteria. She seemed to be waving a piece of paper in her hand, the other holding onto her book bag as sprinted through the masses. Why was one of the most popular girls in school running towards me, a large smile printed on her face and excitement in her eyes? It certainly seemed to baffle my brother that's for sure. He had his eyes on her for a long time and was always trying to ask her out. Well, it all happened six months ago, when she began to fail her math class and our teacher suggested a tutor."Hey! Check it out Luddy!""I told you not to call me zat!""Just look!"She then slapped the paper down in front of me. My eyes gazed down as my mouth dropped open. I picked up the paper in my hands and just stared for a moment, a smile forming on my lips. I couldn't believe this! I had never been so proud of someone before."Vow, zat
When I'm Alone Part 4: EnglandxReaderWhen I'm Alone~ Part 4I can't really remember how long I sat there, staring out through the glass, onto the dead horizon that was midnight. Any sounds were drowned out by the thundering rain that seemed to assault my car as though it too, hated me. That was fair. If I were the rain, I'd hate me too. Time had seemed to be on my side as the seconds went by gruesomely, fantastically slow. The rain soon became bearable; almost comforting as though ten thousand tiny drummers were playing for me. Just me. The only person left on the face of the earth. Or just this parking lot. It didn't really matter. Right now they were one and the same.My cell phone buzzed again with the sickening song "Mr. Lonely". It was intended as a joke one day by Alfred and Francis but right now it really hit home. This was a picture perfect moment for that song. I think the hardest part about it was that it was my entire fault. If I was stupid enough I could blame it on Alfred a
Empty: Male!UkrainexReader100 Theme Challenge~32.EmptyMale!UkrainexReaderYour POVPen met paper in a terrible search for meaning. These lyrics meant nothing. How could I write such nonsense? I was a liar. I had never felt these things before. I wanted to burn these words. What was the point of singing if your words were meaningless? These songs were empty.I was being held in a cage. I wanted to sing my songs that held significance to my life, but they wouldn't let me. I wanted to show who I really was, but that wasn't allowed either. Who I really was, wasn't marketable. My real face was covered in makeup and photo shopped. My real body was dieted to become a 'better' one. My real lyrics were tossed away and I had to write mediocre things about feelings I have never experienced. Everything that I was, I wasn't allowed to be."Hey! Forty minutes to show time!"I heard the booming voice come from the other side of the door. I had to go out there, sell and image that wasn't me and words that I didn't believe. I
I dreamed a dream Part2: GermanyxReaderI dreamed a dream ~Chapter 2Ludwig POVThis was it. Everyone said it was simply a new beginning but it felt like an end to me. A terrible end in which I get shipped off to military school and (your name) goes to the big city. Each of us had totally opposite dreams and each of us were going to go fulfill them. I glanced over and saw her sitting there, a small smile on her lips as Alfred waltzed onto the stage, the announcer telling us that he was going to become a pilot. Good for him. I couldn't care less.Gilbert sat beside me and (your name)'s mother sat beside her, caging us in between making conversation nonexistent between us. All I wanted to do was talk to her; we both knew that this was one of the last times we would be able to. In only five days I would have to leave and she was leaving in eight. From here on out my future was a bit of a blur, nothing decided for certain, the only thing I knew was for sure was that I didn't want to lose her."Congratulations graduates, may this
America x Reader: Late Night MissionAmerica x Reader: Late Night MissionTap.Tap.TapThat's the only sound coming from the living room where you and Alfred were currently playing Guitar Hero 3. At 2:30 in the morning."Dude this sucks!" Alfred suddenly exclaimed as you both finished another level in the game. "How can we play Guitar Hero 3 when the volume is off!? It doesn't make sense!"You looked over at him with a glare and shushed him. "It was your idea to play at this time!""I know that, but I did it so we could yell and wake up Arthur!" Alfred retorted.You rolled your eyes, but let out a chuckle. 'Alfred, always there to bug Arthur.' You thought.It would've been louder if the fake drums were brought out, but Matthew decided to be sneaky and hide them before you and Alfred had a chance to start the game. This led to you two just using the guitar and bass."If this is such a bad idea, why'd you agree to play with me?" Alfred asked you quietly.You looked over at him. The T.V screen in front o
Video Games AmericaXReaderHe'd found it! His baby blue eyes were sparkling as he looked over the video game gleefully. He'd finally found it! It'd taken him weeks of searching this his large as his appatite house, but somehow Alfred F. Jones found Super Mario Bros buried in his top secret hamburger stash.Well, he knew exactly what to do now: go over to the house of his video game bro, ____, pop that fucker in, and play until he could no longer use empty Mountain Dew bottles to release his piss(something Alfred had to do more than once on his gamer days) Lazy fatass though he might be, when he had motivation(or a coupon for a free Big Mac) Alfred could run pretty damn fast, so it was no surprise that he was at your house in no time. Being Alfred, he didn't bother knocking and invited himself inside. "Hey bro, I finally found it! Let's go play!" He recieved no response, seeing as no one was on the first floor.

His smile was contagious and fun seemed to follow him everywhere.You were in love with his country, and would frequently visit at particular parts of the year, running around with a camera and taking silly photos. Each one held important memories that you fondly looked back on.Often during winter he would invite you to stay in the north with him. You would bundle up for the cold weather, packing on your snow boots and heavy coats. You would snuggle up together by the fire, sipping your hot coco slowly, trying not to burn your tongue. He would throw snowballs at you, which frequently ended with you being the victor of the fight. Together you built impressive snowmen and forts, which somehow always ended up always being crushed.In the summer you would visit the south where it was particularly hot, peeling off your winter clothes and slipping into bathing suits and tank tops.

[America x Reader] Playing HouseYour doorbell kept on ringing."I SAID WAIT A F*CKING MINUTE!" you shouted with irritation on your voice. You really hate impatient people plus you have a short temper and it seems someone is seriously making you flip the whole house upside down because of anger.The doorbell kept on ringing anyway. NOW someone is really messing with you. You stomped your way angrily to the door and slammed it open."WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?!" you scowled. There stood an American with short dusty blond hair and baby blue eyes. Of course, it's Alfred F. Jones. You have been his friend for about 2 years now. You also developed feelings from him but you're good at hiding it."I know I told you to stop breaking the door down, but dont kill the doorbell!" you scolded him."Arthur is much more better than you." you mumbled."__________! Let's play house! You're the mother and i'm the son!" he said as he hugged you; completely ignoring the lecture you're giving him."Hey! Listen to me mister!" you tr

Something I did in my free time and please give me some feedback, if you guys like I might just continue writing. So yeah enjoy~) "F/N!!!!" I woke up screaming. I had an awful nightmare that my precious (F/N) decided to leave me for someone else. The room was still dark so I start patting the sides to make sure she was still there. I finally felt her form and immediately hug it. "Nghh..." (F/N) groaned and buried her face in the pillow. I held her tighter and take in her smell. 'Oh god, I can't imagine a day without her,' I thought, but then I begin to wonder. 'Why does she love me?' I glance over her figure and push some hair strands out of her peaceful face. 'I mean seriously dude~She's like a perfect 10! I gotta know!' I proceed to nudge her, "(F/N), (F/N)." Nothing. I start poking her squishy face to get a reaction. "(F/N), (F/N)," I repeat and I could feel her face twitch
AmericaXReader~ Cheesy Pick-Up LinesYou smiled contently. You were leaning against a tall tree enjoying its shade, and reading your favorite book. It was lunch time at your high school and you were taking advantage of your alone time. You weren't unsocial or anything, you just didn't really like to be surrounded by people 24/7. You had a few friends and they understood your need for solitude at times."Excuse me," a voice said in front of you.Startled, you looked up. Standing before you was Alfred F. Jones. He was probably one of the loudest boys you had ever met. He was incredibly popular; a self-proclaimed hero who always wore a grin and looked like he had stepped out of a modeling magazine."Did it hurt?" he asked, cocking his head to the side."Did what hurt?" you asked, mildly irritated.He gave a cheesy grin and stuck his hands in his pockets."Oh, you know, when you fell from heaven," he smiled.You blinked. He grinned. You blinked again. He was an idiot
America x Reader- Empty GraveI kneel beside the marble headstone, not caring about dirt clinging to my white dress and trace the words with my finger, setting the single rose in my other hand in the freshly cut grass."The First death of [F/N] [L/N]"A smile plays across my lips as I think back to that day in the hospital, when everything had gone black. When my heart had stopped.However, that was not the end.To quote the doctors, I was a fighter.And it was true. I hadn't given up. Even when I had seen the light at the end of the tunnel.I came back.Ripped away from the clutches of death.Technically, I was pronounced dead, and remained that way for roughly twenty minutes.Perhaps the most peaceful twenty minutes of my life. But then I was shocked back to life, quite literally.I smirk as I recall the other day when I was eating lunch with Alfred at our usual table."Why do you wear black so much? Are you like, in mourning?" he had asked out of the blue.I had looked up

Sniffling away the remaining tears you sighed as you once again looked in the mirror to clean away the evidence of your tears. You were recently dumped again by your (ex)boyfriend Arthur. Why you kept going back to him? You had no clue. Maybe it was his gentleman ways, or his charms, or how he could make you believe that he was truly sorry for what he did. You didn't know. All you knew was he dumped you again for the another woman. Not surprising it wasn't the first time. Anger boiled up inside you angry at yourself for letting this happen again.To make things better it was storming out making your depressed mood a lot more….depressing.

You grumbled to yourself as you nervously approached the counter."H-hello, How may I help you?" A young man with curly locks waited on you by the bar.You order and take a seat. The man with the shake moves over to the seat next to your and slurps in your ear while gazing at you. Frustrated, you turn towards him."Excuse me? Can I help you?" You can feel your eyebrow twitching in frustration. As though his slurping and staring wasn't enough; call me maybe began to play from the speakers.You felt your fist tighten.

Sock is part of exhibit celebrating Sox's Series win
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. -- The Hall of Fame now has the ultimate red sock to commemorate Boston's first World Series title in 86 years.
Curt Schilling donated the bloody sock he wore during Game 2 of the World Series to the Hall of Fame on Thursday. The sock is part of a Red Sox exhibition celebrating the team's four-game sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals.
Schilling's sock joins other Red Sox memorabilia including Derek Lowe's jersey from Game 4; the bat used by Series MVP Manny Ramirez when he tied a postseason record with a 17-game hitting streak; and the spikes Keith Foulke wore when he recorded the final out of the Series.
The exhibit runs through the 2005 baseball season.
Schilling had surgery Nov. 9 to repair a ruptured tendon sheath in his right ankle. The injury appeared to end his season in the middle of Boston's World Series run, but team doctors, in an unprecedented procedure, made a wall of stitches in Schilling's ankle to keep the tendon in place.
Schilling, with blood seeping through his sock, won Game 6 in the AL Championship Series against the New York Yankees and Game 2 of the World Series.
The Red Sox had thought the surgery would keep their ace off the mound for Boston's Opening Day matchup against Randy Johnson and the Yankees, but Schilling told The Associated Press on Feb. 8 that pitching the opener was still his goal.
"I'm feeling very good about things now," he said.

Ukulele master Shimabukuro playing Munhall show
While his music includes jazz, classics and bits of rock 'n' roll, Jake Shimabukuro says his work is not dictated by any one genre.
"I'm just a ukulele player," says the Hawaiian-American, who has established himself in the past five years as the touring master of the instrument.
Shimabukuro, 36, will bring his show to the Carnegie Library Music Hall in Munhall on Tuesday as part of a 40-city tour connected to his new album, "Grand Ukulele." That tour might even pick up more cities for a second stage in the spring, he says.
The solo concert will feature the 12 songs from the album, including eight originals, as well as songs by Sting, Adele, "Over the Rainbow" and a Hawaiian folksong.
He says he is grateful for all of the support that has emerged for his work. He has reached the level now that he is on the road on a tour bus with a crew of seven and his own light equipment.
"If you had said a year ago I would have been touring on a bus, I would have said, 'Naaaaaa'," he says
He is even performing at times with symphony orchestras, something he would like to do more often.
While his touring has kept him busy, he says he is thankful for the support.
"Every day, every month, every year is a total inspiration," he says.
Music begins at 7:30 p.m. at the concert hall on 510 E. 10th Ave. Admission is $28 to $53. Details: 412-368-5225 or www.librarymusichall.com.

It's official, J.R. Smith signs to play in China next season
Sep 14, 2011, 12:18 AM EDT
What is the Chinese word for "gunner?"
That word might now be J.R. Smith. The talented, athletic Denver swingman who never saw a shot he didn't like has signed to play in China for next season, according to reports out of China via Nuibball.com as well as Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo. He will be the most talented player in that league.
The deal is Zhejiang Chouzhou for $3 million — the richest deal in Chinese league history — and he cannot leave the team before next March, according to the reports. The Chinese Basketball Association has put in a rule banning opt-out contracts and only allowing NBA free agents to sign there. Smith had been close to a deal with the richest team in China — Shanxi — but that fell apart recently.
Smith joins fellow former Nugget Wilson Chandler in China and even in the same province, although they play for different teams.
Zhejiang Chouzhou is the team that last season had Mike James and Josh Boone last season.

The world's melting pot: London has always been a multicultural metropolis
What a change today, what a mosaic of peoples, races, colours, languages, faiths, cultures the capital has become. Of its inhabitants at the 1981 census, more than one in six were born outside the UK - the breakdown was over a third of a million born in Europe, about 300,000 in Asia, around 170,000 in Africa and the Caribbean respectively, and lesser numbers from the other corners of the globe. All these different peoples have intermarried, with each other and with traditional Londoners.
This internationalisation provokes different responses. The British National Party foments race hatred and its thugs beat up Bengalis. Statesmen preach tolerance. Others are positively enthusiastic - massive immigration has given the metropolis just the vital spark it needed, bringing new life styles, foods, music.
However a lot of English-born whites, especially older people, find the cheek-by-jowl mixing of ethnic groups jarring and hard to accept. It wasn't like that when they were young; isn't such a new development a recipe for disaster?
The truth is it isn't new at all. London always was a city of foreigners. For much of its history the percentage of Londoners born outside the capital was actually far higher than today. In a remarkable book, A City Full of People (Methuen), the historian Peter Earle establishes that around 1700, when Samuel Pepys was an old man, Daniel Defoe in his prime and William Hogarth but a boy, a clear majority of Londoners had not been born in the capital. Many had come from overseas: Huguenots from France, Jews from Spain and Eastern Europe, Scandinavians and Germans, Moors and other Mediterranean types. And there are flocks of Welsh, Scots, Irish, and people from the ends of England. Cumbrians and Cornishmen might not seem 'foreigners' to us, but that's how they were perceived at the time, with their different ways and dialects: one sailor around 1700 told a court he spoke 'English and Devon'.
A hundred and fifty years later, under Queen Victoria, things were much the same. Between 1841 and 1851, a third of a million streamed into the capital, representing a staggering 17 per cent of London's total population. Similar numbers arrived in the 1850s and 1860s.
The majority of these came from a few ethnic groups. Nearly 50,000 arrived from Ireland in the 1840s alone, fleeing the famine. By 1850, London's Jewish population had increased to about 20,000, and in the following fifty years, as refugees deluged in from central Europe, Poland and Russia, it had leapt to 120,000.
The city always had pockets of more exotic sorts. By 1800 there were several thousand Black Africans, mostly servants and sailors but also a few musicians, prize-fighters, gigolos and writers. Lascar sailors settled from South East Asia, and from 1800 Limehouse was acquiring its Chinese community; the notorious opium dens came later.
This ceaseless flow of migration shouldn't surprise us for a second. After all, Londinium was founded by the Romans, conquered by Saxons and Normans and developed as a commercial centre by Italian, Flemish and Baltic traders. It was always a honeypot for potential Dick Whittingtons (he came from Gloucestershire).
If the streets were not paved with gold, the capital always had work, and wages were good. So people poured into what a rather jaundiced 18th-century commentator called 'that great and famous city, which may truly be said, like the Sea and the Gallows, to refuse none'. Without migrants London would never have been famous for silks and watches (made by French craftsmen); it would have lacked ice-cream (made by Italians living in Finsbury) to say nothing of the music of Handel.
True, by the lifetime of my neighbour, Mrs London, newcomers had grown much less
conspicuous, but that was just a lull; over the centuries the tide of migration has never stopped. And so today's fears of a multicultural capital are myopic, because that is exactly what London always was, during the centuries of greatness when it became the top city in the world.
What we need to fear is not the pot-pourri of peoples but the lack of the conditions that have enabled multiculturalism to thrive: jobs, homes, education, opportunities - all those elements that ensure integration into the wider community.
Over the centuries London has been pretty successful at avoiding serious racial tension and violence. There never was a formal Jewish
ghetto. The humiliation of the BNP in recent local government elections shows that old Cockney traditions of live-and-let-live remain strong. But tolerance will be stretched by continuing poverty and hopelessness.
Multiculturalism requires a metropolis where prosperity is a prospect for all. And that requires urgent action.

Mexico's 'lost' city: Inside the surreal jungle gardens created by an eccentric Englishman as an elaborate joke
The Mexican jungle is certainly not the first place you would look for art.
But one eccentric British millionaire decided the lush Sierra Madre hillside is the perfect setting for his selection of surreal sculptures.
The late Edward James, a wealthy arts patron, created the unusual Las Pozas park 'as a joke to a future generation' and filled it with quirky sculptures that look almost unfinished.
Scroll down for video
Mystery: The gardens are buried deep in the jungle, with surreal sculptures emerging from the undergrowth along a network of different pathways
Flight of fancy: British millionaire Edward James was an art patron and loved the idea of creating a surreal escape among the trees
Spiral staircases lead nowhere and ornate concrete structures look like undiscovered ruins from a past civilisation.
'Mr. Edward wanted to bewilder,' said Carlos Barbosa, a park guide.
Set on a 100-acre hillside where the Sierra Madre mountains meet the coastal plains of the northeast state of San Luis Potosi, the jungle has steadily encroached on the sculpture park.
But that didn't bother James, who liked
to think that future archaeologists would discover his lost city and
wonder what kind of civilization had built it, Barbosa said.
The son of British aristocrats and
grandson of a Canadian timber baron, James first went to Mexico in 1944
at the invitation of psychiatrist Erich Fromm. He joined a salon of
intellectuals and artists at Cuernavaca, the resort city just southeast
of Mexico City.

Art lover: James inherited a fortune from his father and used the money to support the work of great surrealists, including Dali, Magritte, Leonora Carrington and Remedios Varo
Elaborate hoax: Carlos Barbosa, a park guide, said James 'wanted to bewilder' visitors with his unusual 100-acre estate
He inherited a fortune from his
father and used the money to support the work of great surrealists,
including Dali, Magritte, Leonora Carrington and Remedios Varo.
'I had seen videos and documents but I didn't expect it to be so impressive,' said Vida Arellano, a tourist from the northern state of Chihuahua. 'Once you are here, you are enveloped by nature, the sculptures, the architecture ... it transports you to a different mental state.'
Las Pozas means the pools and James spent 20 years of his life building the garden, but it was still only half-built by the time he died 30 years ago.
The original project, interestingly, had nothing to do with the garden's ultimate design.
The Pools: Sculptures at the 100-acre Las Pozas gardens evoke the ruins of ancient Greece but are overrun by exotic plants
Practical joke: James loved the thought that future generations could happen upon the sculptures and think they belonged to an ancient culture
For years, James cultivated thousands of orchids on his land, but in 1962 a cold snap destroyed them, said Zaira Linan, the park's assistant director. James then ordered workers to build cement flowers that weather couldn't destroy, Linan said.
James' imagination didn't stop with the flowers. He began to design increasingly complex sculptures, often inspired by artistic philosophies he encountered in his travels. He would sketch his sculptures on postcards and mail them to Gastelum.
Barbosa remembered with amusement James' many eccentricities, including the time he asked a cook to make a banquet for a menagerie of exotic animals he kept and loved like his children.
In bloom: The land was originally used to grow orchids, but after a cold snap destroyed them James moved on to a altogether different idea
Hidden delight: The gardens opened to the public in 1990 and now attract around 75,000 visitors a year to explore the hidden walkways
James 'used to walk naked through the park and even though he was a millionaire, he often slept in a sleeping bag among the weeds,' Barbosa said.
Walking through the labyrinthine paths overrun by the jungle is an adventure. With park guides' help, visitors can access the most remote corners of the park, including a concrete bed shaped like a tree leaf where James used to meditate and prepare for death.
But James didn't die in his precious park. He died in 1984 in San Remo, Italy, when a stroke put an end to his delirious project.
Since he didn't leave any sketches for future sculptures, construction halted and the jungle began to take over, Linan said.
In 1990, the park opened to the public and now it draws 75,000 curious visitors each year.

Kim Jong Il on Opera: A Book Report
Well, with all the nasty apparently ceaseless activity in Lebanon and Iraq, I thought now would be a good time to do a little research in to Kim Jong Il, while there is a temporary lull.
I am kind of fascinated by Kim Jong Il. But of all the details in his official biography, I was especially taken by this sentence: "In 1964 he graduated from the Kim Sung Il University where legend has it he wrote 1,500 books, all of which are stored in the state's library. It is also said that he wrote six operas, all of which are better then any in the history of music."
What better way to gain insights in to the man than by studying his literary and musical canon.
So I checked to see if any of his books were available on Amazon. And Lo and Behold, a mere 3 alphabet letters away from my own listings I found four of his books for sale.
While I am waiting for the other 1496 to be made available, (or ANY of his operas) I thought I would summarize the one book I just finished reading: "Kim Jong Il On The Art Of Opera." For those of you who haven't already read it, here is what I learned:
1. Oddly enough, Dear Leader does not appear to employ the services of an editor when he writes. MY editor is fond of writing GWS on manuscript pages where he thinks I am overstating my case. It stands for "Goes Without Saying." I suspect these words have never been uttered anywhere near the writings of Kim Jong Il whose insights in to the creation of opera often run along the lines of this exerpt from Chapter 6:Opera Stage Representation. "In the first place, an opera singer must sing well. A stage actor's main task is to speak well and act well. While an opera singer's main task is to sing well. The opera singer has to sing while acting and act while singing. This is similar to the method of depiction used by stage and film actors who speak while acting and act while speaking....If singing is to be supported properly by acting, the distinctive features of opera acting should be understood. It is easy to act while speaking but it is not easy to act while singing."
By the way, the aforementioned is just Mr. Il getting started. Stylistically speaking, Kim Jong Il does quite a bit of writerly padding by stating the obvious. He frequently makes points like "The orchestra must accompany songs skillfully." Or "Excellent lyrics are a prerequisite for excellent music." In this way I confess that Kim Jong Il kind of reminds me of my father, Gerry Markoe, who once, while telling me how to carry out his wishes, actually said "And here, where it says YOUR NAME, you write YOUR NAME: Merrill Markoe."
I was about 40 at the time
2. Kim Jong Il's main point is that he thinks Korean opera should shed the "unattractive and incomprehensible" model of classical operas. Over and over again he states that "For an opera to be popular, arias and recitatives must be replaced by popular songs and orchestral music which are comprehensible to everyone and capable of being sung by everyone. " Dear Leader wants all Korean opera to be full of "stanzaic songs, which can be understood easily and loved by the people."
At first glimpse, this sounds a lot like "Mama Mia." But lest you think that Kim Jong Il is using "Mama Mia" as his best case scenario, he goes on to explain that "the seed of an opera must be capable of providing a solution to the problem of the destiny of the popular masses who are struggling for an independent and creative life and to the problems of national liberation, class emancipation and man's freedom."
I haven't SEEN Mama Mia, but from what I hear it skirts those issues entirely.
No, no... When Kim Jong Il is talking about popular songs capable of being sung by everyone, he is referring to songs with titles such as "Avenge the Punitive Expedition " Other hummable favorites he mentions are "Its an Honor to Be Alive Or Dead on the Road to Revolution" " You Have Brought Medicine For Your Mother." "I Shall Remain Singleheartedly Loyal" and, ofcourse, the crowd pleasing ""Do not Cry, My Dear Ul Nam", a song in which " the audience boils with resentment at the Japanese imperialists who have plunged the whole country in to a Sea of Blood."
What we can learn from all this about how to negotiate with him is not clear. I have a feeling George Bush also probably prefers operas full of stanzaic songs. Maybe somewhere within an evening of "Mama Mia" there lies some kind of an unexplored middle ground.
Next on my Kim Jong Il reading list: "Our Socialism Centered on the Masses Shall Not Perish." I think I'll take this one along with me to the beach.

Tuesday, 11 Dec 2012 01:59 PM
A federal appeals court has struck down a ban on carrying concealed weapons in Illinois — the only state where carrying concealed weapons is entirely illegal.
The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals announced Tuesday that state lawmakers have 180 days to write a new law that legalizes concealed carry.
The ruling is a victory for gun rights advocates, who argue that the prohibition against concealed weapons violates the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment and what they see as Americans' right to carry guns for self-defense.
Attorney General Lisa Madigan's office says it is reviewing the ruling and would comment Tuesday.
The ruling stems from a lawsuit filed by former corrections officer Michael Moore of Champaign, farmer Charles Hooks of Percy in southeastern Illinois and the Bellevue, Wash.-based Second Amendment Foundation.

How the 2007 fee schedule may shift practice cash flow
If CMS' changes to the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) pass through Congress in the fall, payments for certain E/M series will get a boost, but others will drop. "It's time to increase Medicare's payment rates for physicians to spend time with their patients," said CMS Administrator Mark McClellan, MD, PhD, in a statement. This change doesn't mean that all physicians will see improvements to their bottom lines.

Jim Cole, Associated Press
FAIRFAX, Va. — A day after he refused to endorse an Ohio ballot measure that limits public employee union rights, Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney said Wednesday that he is "110 percent" behind the effort.
While he was in Ohio on Tuesday, Romney seemed to distance himself from anti-union measures that have lost popularity in recent months. Campaigning a day later, the former Massachusetts governor told reporters that he supports the ballot measure aimed at restricting collective bargaining rights for state employees.
"I'm sorry if I created any confusion in that regard. I fully support Gov. (John) Kasich's — I think it's called Question Two in Ohio. Fully support that," Romney said after visiting a local GOP office in the Washington suburbs. "Actually, on my website, I think back as early as April, I laid out that I support Question Two and Gov. Kasich's effort to restrict collective bargaining in Ohio."
Romney's rivals criticized him for not supporting the measure, which he previously endorsed but has seen its popularity falter.
"As a true conservative, I stand with Gov. Kasich in promoting S.B.5 for fiscal responsibility and job creation in Ohio," Texas Gov. Rick Perry said in a statement. "Gov. Kasich and the Republican leadership of Ohio are to be commended for their efforts." Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman turned to Twitter to tweak Romney.
"Unlike (at)MittRomney, I stand with John Kasich in opposing the individual mandate and supporting public sector union reform," he said.
On Wednesday, Romney tried to answer the criticism.
"I know there are other ballot questions in Ohio. I wasn't taking a position on those," Romney said after meeting with volunteers. "I am 110 percent behind Gov. Kasich and in support of that question."
A Quinnipiac University poll this week showed the anti-union law is unpopular with voters; 57 percent oppose it in that poll.
Romney's arms-length stance seemed to reflect that on Tuesday.
"I am not speaking about the particular ballot issues," Romney said. "Those are up to the people of Ohio. But I certainly support the efforts of the governor to reign in the scale of government. I am not terribly familiar with the two ballot initiatives. But I am certainly supportive of the Republican Party's efforts here."
And on Wednesday, he still sidestepped questions about a separate ballot measure that would exempt Ohioans from President Barack Obama requirement that individuals have health insurance.
"I've said that should be up to individual states. I, of course, took my state in one direction. They may want to go in a different direction," Romney said. "I don't want to tell them what I think they ought to do in that regard."

By PAN PYLAS
Associated Press
LONDON (AP) - Indications that a deal to increase the U.S. debt ceiling may be imminent shored up markets once again on Friday.
Stocks have rallied over the past day or so amid signs that the White House and Republicans in Congress were inching toward a deal that would avoid a possible U.S. debt default, though not necessarily an end to the partial shutdown of the government.
With the Oct. 17 deadline to increase the debt ceiling looming, Republican leaders said they would vote to extend the government's borrowing authority for six weeks. A spokesman for President Barack Obama said he would "likely" sign a bill to increase the nation's ability to borrow money.
A failure to increase the debt ceiling raises the prospect of a U.S. debt default that could derail the global economic recovery and prompt turmoil in financial markets. For most of the past couple of weeks, investors have been wary, rather than panicky, about that possibility, so the prospect of a resolution - however short-term - has prompted a relief rally that's carried on into Friday's trading.
"The 'constructive' talks between the Republicans and Democrats yesterday and the indications that these will be continued today has strengthened hopes that the U.S. debt ceiling could be raised before the start of next week; even though there is currently risk that this solution could prove to be temporary," said Jane Foley, an analyst at Rabobank International.
In Europe, the FTSE 100 index of leading British shares was up 0.7 percent at 6,477 while Germany's DAX rose 0.3 percent to 8,715. The CAC-40 in France was 0.1 percent higher at 4,221.
Wall Street was poised for a steady opening, following Thursday's big gains that saw the Dow Jones industrial average add a whopping 300 points - Dow futures and the broader S&P 500 futures were up 0.1 percent.
Developments in Washington will remain the focus of attention, especially as monthly retail sales data for September have been postponed because of the government shutdown, which is into its second week. In the currency markets, the euro was up 0.3 percent at $1.3572 while the dollar rose 0.2 percent to 98.33 yen.
Earlier, Asian markets advanced in the slipstream of Thursday's developments. Japan's Nikkei 225 stock average rose 1.5 percent to 14,404.74 and Hong Kong's Hang Seng added 1.2 percent to 23,218.32. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 climbed 1.6 percent to 5,230.90. China's Shanghai Composite Index rose 1.7 percent to 2,228.15.
Even if U.S. politicians agree some sort of deal, it seems it won't be long before the next deadline arrives. The U.S. budget deadlock could be the dominant theme for the rest of the year.
"It would appear that U.S. lawmakers are not a huge fan of national holidays," said Craig Erlam, market analyst at Alpari. "Last year they effectively canceled Christmas in order to avoid going over the fiscal cliff, now it looks as though Thanksgiving will be the next casualty as the extension would push the deadline back to the end of November."

Image importing coming to LittleBigPlanet by Xmas
There's no indication of how the image importing will work, but we assume there'll be memory sticks and/or USB keys involved. Expect a size limit too. Photographs taken with the PS Eye are currently the biggest contributor to a level's file size. We look forward to this patch, the online Create Mode patch and any other goodies Media Molecule decide to send our way.
[Thanks PS3 Attitude]
