Vacation! director Zach Clark talks drugs, sex and death at the beach
What was the reason to have them take LSD, specifically, rather than just having them get blackout drunk or whatever?
I think there are maybe two big reasons behind it. For about a year or so, and even to this day, I was totally obsessed with this filmmaker whose name is Stephen Sayadian. He also directed a lot of porno movies in the '80s and '90s under the name Rinse Dream. The LSD sequence in the film is the result of me being super into his work for about a year. I was so into tracking this guy's movies down and reading as much about them as I could, that the pinnacle of that year was to make one. The acid-trip sequence in the film is really, to me, trying to make a movie the way he makes movies, as best I could. In the initial script of the film, when I started writing it, had a lot more of his style throughout. It really got focused down to that acid-trip sequence. It allowed me to play with a lot of visual ideas that I'd had from watching this guy's films, and to use those in a context of a larger piece. Having it be a psychedelic drug allowed me to put that stuff into the film, whereas if they just got drunk, you couldn't really make that leap in that sequence.
Then LSD is just a very '60s drug. The film, to me, always has been and always will be my version of a Frankie and Annette beach-party movie. So there are things in it that are just in it because they carry on the tradition of those films. And LSD is, especially in '60s B cinema, LSD is the drug of choice. There are multiple, multiple amazing trip sequences in films of the '60s. It just seemed like the right step.
The film uses an interesting narrative structure, since apart from a quick flash in the opening sequence, there's not a lot of resolution to the death and what follows it -- the movie just sort of ends. Why did you choose to to end it there, rather than going on to give the audience the kind of resolution they were presumably expecting?
To me the movie exists entirely in the context of the trip. The story of the movie is the story of the trip. It's bookended by these two black-and-white sequences. The first black-and-white sequence acts as a prologue -- here they are getting ready for the trip. The final shots acts as the epilogue -- they're off, they're going off to places. I feel like if you have characters do things that might not morally sit well with an audience, I'm a firm believer in not having those action be rewarded or punished in any way in the narrative context of the film. Because I feel like it then gives an audience an answer.
If I'd shown them getting arrested, or getting put into jail -- and they really didn't do [anything criminal], they wouldn't go to jail. There really isn't anything horribly wrong that they do, except react really, really poorly. If there was another ten minutes and more of that sort of thing, then it's sort of resolves those questions -- answers those questions for an audience. If those questions are left open, then I feel like it invites questions from the audience about how they feel about certain things. Like, was that right thing to do, was that too much, how would I react in that situation. If you just punish them and put a button on it, then it puts a button on it for that conversation. I'm a big fan of showing poor behaviors and then not having the characters be punished for it in any way. It's always more interesting for me.
So as a filmmaker, you're more interested in asking questions, or provoking questions, than in answering them?
Yeah. To me, making a movie is ... I never have a statement I'm trying to make. I do have questions I'm asking with the film. They're not even grand ... I'm not like, "You, audience, should think about these things!" But they're things that I'm thinking about and the process of making the film is the process of me trying to figure out some of those things for myself.
There's a profound tonal shift that happens over the course of the film, where it starts off pretty light-hearted and fun, but gradually becomes very melancholy. It's dark in a sense, but it's not typical of what people might call a "dark comedy."
I really don't care for the term "dark comedy" at all -- some people will use that term in reference to the movies I've made. I don't think that accurately describes them. I like "sad comedy" a lot more. To me, the movie remains a comedy, but it's a comedy about very sad things happening. I'm also a firm believer that even though there are sad things happening, it doesn't mean those things aren't funny. That doesn't mean there isn't humor to be found. I don't know that I had any grand design behind it, that the tone shift has any grand thematic reason behind it. Other than once I knew what the story was, once I knew what was going to happen, that just seemed the best way to tell the story.
It's also an interesting way to put a movie together, in sort of two halves, and having those two halves sort of comment on each other. I've always leaned a little more toward experimental stuff and wanting to try things and push things, but in the context of a narrative film. Stylistically, narratively, thematically, those are all ways to experiment with and push what you can do with a narrative film. it's up to the audience to take what they want from it. Some people take a lot and some people don't take a lot. It's been interesting to see the reactions its gotten.
How has the reaction been, from both audiences and critics? Are people getting the film?
It's a movie that evokes strong reactions from people. People who like it really like it, and people who don't like it really don't like it. Some people will watch it and be like, "Oh man, that first half was really great [but] when it got all depressing I was so sad it wasn't fun any more." Some people are like, "I wasn't so sure about the first half, but once it got to the second half it really took off and I was really into that." It sort of offers a lot for people. [Laughs.] It's been interesting to see who gravitates to what parts of it, or who totally signs up for it, or who's totally unwilling to sign up for it.
The very first review ever published of the film, when we premiered at the Edinburgh FIlm Festival in 2010, was maybe one of the worst reviews of a movie I've ever read. It was basically like, "This is the worst thing I've seen in the past decade. I hope this guy never makes anything again. This is awful." Then from that same festival, we also got one of the best reviews we've ever gotten, from basically the UK version of Variety, Screen International, gave us a really, really lovely, glowing review. It's been really interesting, and you can't tell. That's sort of what I've figured out, is you're never going to know who's going to love it, or who's going to hate it.
It's very polarizing.
Yeah, and that's fine. I'd rather someone hate it more than anything they've ever seen than be like, "Eh, that was all right." So many movies, even independent movies, are the same. Indie movies are just as guilty of this as Hollywood movies. They just sort of toe the party line. They all sort of look the same and feel the same and are about the same sort of things.
And this one does not.
Yeah, hopefully!
Is there anything else you want to talk about? Maybe your next project?
We're very close to being finished with this Christmas movie that we shot last December, December 2011 and on and off through August 2012. We're putting the final wraps on that and it should hopefully be hitting the film festival circuit sometime this year. It's called White Reindeer.
You can see Vacation! at 10 p.m. tonight, January 11, or tomorrow, January 12, at the Sie FilmCenter.

Good Stories
by Rev. Derek M. Zeyl
I love the Christmas season! It's that time of the year when we (once again!) dust off the Christmas classics—movies and books—and pull them out for another viewing or good read. Recently, I sat down with my family and we watched Robert Zemeckis' 2009 rendition of A Christmas Carol, based on Charles Dickens' heart warming classic by the same name.

Tech Stocks in Motion
Updated from 1:36 p.m. EST
Shares of Perot Systems (PER) were among technology's losers Tuesday, falling 15.1% after the information technology services company said that it lost its Harvard Pilgrim Health Care contract.
Perot Systems said Harvard Pilgrim would replace Perot's transaction processing platform with a new system provided by UnitedHealth Group. The new system, which is expected to be phased in during the next three years, is not expected to have a material impact on Perot's financial results during the next 15 months, it said. According to Perot, Harvard Pilgrim currently represents about 5.5% of Perot's sales and gross profit. Finally, Perot said that it is entitled to a break-up fee associated with the cancellation of the contract. The amount of the fee, which should be finalized during the next several months, is expected to be material and realized in 2006. Shares traded down $2.27 to $12.75.
Sina (SINA) rose 11% after Shanda Interactive Entertainment (SNDA) disclosed that it acquired 19.5% of Sina through open-market stock purchases. Shanda, which made the disclosure in a regulatory filing, said that it acquired the shares for "strategic investment purposes with the intention of acquiring a substantial ownership position" in Sina. In connection with the investment, Shanda also said that it may "engage in discussions" with Sina to explore the possibility of a merger.In response to Shanda's regulatory filing, Sina adopted a shareholder rights plan, also known as a "poison pill," that would become exercisable if a person or group obtains 10% or more of the company's shares or if Shanda acquires an additional 0.5% of its shares. The triggering of the shareholder rights plan would result in an increase in shares and give rights holders the ability to buy Sina shares at half price. Shares of Sina traded up $2.82 to $28.42. Shanda traded down 19 cents to $29.82.

Countdown to iPhone 6 Sends China's 'Apple Concept' Stocks Soaring
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Stock investors in China have been betting on a big second half for Apple (AAPL) by snapping up shares in the company's Chinese suppliers and other makers of smartphone parts.
So-called "Apple concept" stocks on the Shenzhen and Shanghai exchanges have risen sharply since last week on expectations of an impending ramp-up for production of a new iPhone 6, an updated iPad and the iWatch.
The market has also gotten behind companies that make or supply parts for electronic gadget screens including so-called "sapphire glass" screens, such as the Shenzhen-listed companies Roshow Technologies, Jin Fu New Materials and Anjie Technology.
If Apple switches to sapphire glass for screens, as many tech sector observers expect, other smartphone makers with factories in China are likely to follow suit, according to a GF Securities report. This "copycat effect" could push demand for sapphire glass screens to three times what Apple will need for new iPhones, the report said.Over the past week, Roshow's price has climbed 14%, closing Wednesday at 25.95 yuan a share, while Jin Fu jumped 20% to 12.72 yuan. Shares in Anjie, a contractor for Apple supplier Foxconn (FXCNF), closed at 37.19 yuan after climbing 17% since last week.
>>Read more: Tim Cook's Biggest Failure at Apple Roshow recently announced a joint venture with privately held Apple supplier Biel Crystal -- a company accused of labor abuse leading to suicides last fall -- to make sapphire glass screens at a new factory. The companies have reportedly invested 500 million yuan and plan to launch production in August. Other Apple concept stocks attracting investors include Shanghai-listed USI Electronics, whose shares rose 13% since last week to close Wednesday at 26.47 yuan, and Shenzhen-listed Tongfeng Guoxin Electronics, which saw its stock climb 5% to 40.90 yuan. The current build-up to factory production of new Apple products is being closely followed by the business press in China, where supplying and assembling the company's wares employ millions of people in cities nationwide. >>Read more: Will China's Telecoms Dodge a Major Tax Bullet? >>Read more: King Digital's Tiny Troubles The state newspaper China Securities Journal on Wednesday said that as parts-stocking for the iPhone 6 and other new products begins, "various links in the entire Apple industry chain will get a significant boost (and) listed companies will see significant improvements in profitability." The paper also predicted that "production of the new components will start in May, while final processing and assembly (of new Apple products) will start by the end of June." At the time of publication, the author held no positions in any of the stocks mentioned. This article represents the opinion of a contributor and not necessarily that of TheStreet or its editorial staff.

Golf outing major fundraiser for Think Detroit/PAL
Paul W. Smith Golf Tourney raises major funds for Detroit youth organization
By Harry M. Anderson, Jr.
Special to the Michigan Citizen
DETROIT — There are many fundraisers the Think Detroit/Police Athletic league puts on every year to raise funds to pay for their sports programs, but there is one fundraiser that stands out above the rest. That fundraiser is the Paul W. Smith Golf Outing, which is held annually at the Detroit Golf Club on Seven Mile near Palmer Park. This year — the fundraiser's ninth — the event is being held Aug. 13.
"This event brings in 25 percent of our fundraising every year," said Renee E. Peck, chief advancement officer of Think Detroit/PAL. "We're very grateful for Paul W. Smith and WJR Radio."
Paul W. Smith is a local radio personality at WJR Radio who helps put on the event. He took over when former WJR on-air personality J.P. McCarthy died in 1995. McCarthy started the golf outing, as well as the famous Bob-Lo Boat race with former newscaster Bill Bonds. The boat race was also a fundraiser for PAL. Smith took over and has helped raise over $3.5 million for Think Detroit/PAL since 2004.
"The outing helps promote our organization on a daily basis," Peck said. "Lots of company executives will be competing in the tournament like they do every year."
People competing this year will be Mayor Dave Bing, Detroit Police Chief Ralph Godbee, Jr. and Ford Motor Company President Alan Mulally.
The companies that are involved in the golf outing are also the major sponsors. They are the Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Chrysler Group LLC, Compuware, Toyota Motor Corporation, PNC Bank, the Ambassador Bridge Co. and Tom and Vicki Celoni.
For the kids, TDP also sponsors a youth golf clinic during the golf outing with the help from coaches and players from the Wayne State University Varsity Golf Team.
"The WSU coaches give instruction to the youth at the outing," Peck said. "They give them very important points to improve their game."
For more information about the Paul W. Smith Golf Outing, contact Renee Peck at Think Detroit/PAL at 313.833.1600.

CVG LivePlay continues tonight as we play through Sega's much-loved Mega Drive brawler Streets Of Rage, and we're inviting you to join us for a night of retro chat.
Last week we held a four-hour livestream in which we played classic games from the PlayStation era. The livestream was such a success that we're making it a regular event, with games old and new featuring every week.
This week Chris and Tamoor will be playing through Sega's classic 1991 beat 'em up Streets Of Rage join in on the fun by sharing your memories, giving us tips and debating whether there'll ever be another game like Streets Of Rage. The topics of discussion will be completely up to you and we'll be chiming in regularly too.
We'll be kicking off the livestream at 6pm GMT / 1pm ET and the action will continue until the game's complete (we estimate around 7:30pm - we're that good). If you won't be around at that time and reckon you might miss it, we'll have the full recording up here once the livestream ends (though obviously won't be able to take part in the live chat then).
See you at six!
UPDATE: This livestream is now over. Here's the recorded version!

Despite the quality of the opponent, this game was another one of those "tough to stomach" losses that is usually reserved for losing to teams such as Minnesota and Sacramento. The reason for this feeling is because the Hornets played one of the most complete halves of basketball in the first 24 minutes that I have seen from them this season, and as a result they led a great Boston team 51-40 at halftime. I thought about blaming the Celtics' first half struggles on the fact that they were on the 2nd night of a back-to-back, but take a look at the box score from their Friday night game against Houston – the Celts were down by 23 after 3 quarters, and the players' minutes correlate with my assumption that none of the starters played in the 4th quarter. Therefore, if you're a Boston fan, I don't really think you can use the game in Houston the night before as an excuse; the Celtics just got vastly outplayed in the first half. Unfortunately, thanks to an abysmal Hornets 3rd quarter (among other things that I will discuss later), the Bees weren't able to win their 3rd straight home game against Boston. This is where I'd typically give Andrew a shout-out for his stunningly accurate final score prediction of a 90-86 Celtics victory, but since it leads me to believe that he's the one who paid off the referees in the second half, I'm not going to recognize him. More thoughts on the game after the jump.
- Well, so much for being excited about that CP3/Rondo matchup. Paul's shot was obviously off (0-9 overall, 0-4 from deep), but credit that just as much to the excellent defense of both Rondo and Delonte West. I think Boston's version of D-West is one of the most underrated players in the league defensively, and he proved it while Rondo was out by making CP3 really work hard to get into the paint, often keeping him out of the lane altogether. Paul's 15 assists and 7 rebounds obviously should not be overlooked, but it is going to be really difficult to win a game when your team's top player doesn't make a shot and finishes with only 4 made free throws.
- Belinelli had one hell of a first quarter for New Orleans, matching Boston's point total in that frame with 14 points on 5-6 shooting, all but one of the shots coming from beyond the arc. He finished with a season high 23 points on 8-13 shooting, making 5 of his 8 three point attempts as well. Beli is the team's streakiest shooter, so here's to hoping he carries this hot shooting into the playoffs. Conversely, Willie Green had one of the worst 11 minutes of playing time that I have ever seen, as he went 0-4 including 2 airballs and contributed absolutely nothing else offensively.
- It looks like either A) I was wrong about Trevor Ariza or B) the 3-day break between Wednesday's Suns game and last night was enough of a layoff to get him back to normal from a health perspective. He did a fantastic job on Paul Pierce all game, limiting the Celtics' star to 9 points on 1-9 shooting by coercing him into shooting long jump shots; 6 of the 9 attempts were 3-pointers, and only one attempt came in the paint. Ariza was his usual poor shooting self, but not completely awful (4-10 overall, 2-5 from beyond the arc), and he filled up the stat sheet in other areas (8 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, only 1 turnover). Solid game from Trevor; when he limits a guy like Pierce to the night he had, I'm okay with him shooting 4-10.
- D-West typically struggles against KG, but he had a monster game this time, finishing with 32 points on 14-23 shooting, also grabbing 8 rebounds and adding 2 steals and 2 blocks. With Landry limited to only 10 minutes because he re-opened a bad cut, West stepped up by playing all but 4 minutes of the game. As usual, however, he and the rest of the Hornets big men struggled to guard both KG and Big Baby thanks to their ability to stretch the floor with their mid-range jumpers. The two Celtics PFs combined to make 14 of their 24 shots, good for a total of 32 points.
- I liked Monty Williams' decision to give his starters extended minutes in this game. With 3 days off before the game and 4 days off after, he knew his team should have plenty of energy to spend on the game, and they responded by playing extremely hard.
- Now, it's time for me to vent. I am not bringing this up until now because the way that the Hornets played in the 3rd quarter was inexcusable; if they had even played average basketball during that quarter, they probably would have won the game. That being said, the moment Davis and KG picked up their 4th fouls with about 4 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter, the game changed. It almost seemed as if the referees were catering to the needs of the Celtics to allow them to keep their ideal lineup in the game. There was a point with 10 minutes to go in the 4th quarter when the referees called a foul, and Glen Davis was literally crouched in the middle of the lane upset with himself because he knew he had just committed his 5th foul; unfortunately, the refs decided to give the foul to Jeff Green. This is just an example of the kinds of calls that were being made throughout most of the 4th quarter. The calls that were made were an embarrassment to the league, and the NBA really should review the game film from the entire second half. That's all I am going to say on the subject, but if you watched the game, you know where I'm coming from.
NEXT GAME: After a nice 4-day break, the Hornets hit the road to take on the Utah Jazz on Thursday night at 8 PM central time. The Jazz are 5-7 since trading Deron Williams, and are 0-5 against teams over .500 during that span. In addition, Utah has 3 road games between now and their game against the Hornets, playing tonight in Houston, tomorrow night in Memphis, and Wednesday night in Oklahoma city. A well-rested New Orleans squad should be in great shape for their game Thursday against a likely fatigued Jazz team, which should hopefully lead to a Hornets victory. Until then, it's back to watching the standings and the scores every night to see where our team lies. Go Hornets!

Aww, Cute! Sumatran Tiger Cub Born At Sacramento Zoo
The Sacramento Zoo's resident Sumatran tiger Bahagia has given birth to a tiger cub.
The news of the baby cub comes after the Zoo lost two baby anteaters born earlier in the week. A second cub was born to Bahagia and mate Castro, but died after sustaining severe head injuries.
"After the loss of the baby anteaters this month, the birth of the Sumatran tiger and sorrowful death of a second cub is emotional for the Zoo staff," Zoo Director Mary Healy said in a press release distributed Friday, "but we know Baha is an experienced mother who will do her best to take care of this very special cub especially during the important first few months of development."
Bahagia and Castro birthed three male cubs in November 2006.
The Zoo says around 200 Sumatran tigers are in captivity at zoos aroun the world, and an estimated 500 tigers are said to be in the wild.Copyright © 2014, Orlando Sentinel

Quite a few people have written me asking my opinion of Bill O'Reilly's book, Killing Lincoln. I did waste the money on the book and read it. There is nothing at all in the book — not a single word — about the Lincoln presidency, the war, or even Lincoln's political speeches. Nothing. It is merely an excruciatingly boring, minute-by-minute narrative of the daily events in the five days or so before the assassination. There is not one original passage in the entire book since it is entirely based on the dozens of other books that have been written on the same subject, but without a single footnote, reference, or bibliographical reference. I assume the book is a big seller because O'Reilly has a very big mouth, a very big ego, and his own television program. The book is so void of substance that I couldn't think of how to review it on LRC in a way that anyone would find remotely interesting.
One of the sillier aspects of O'Reilly's book that is shared with almost all other Lincoln hagiographies is that he pretends to know what was in the mind of Lincoln when he did this or that. There are numerous phrases like "what he was thinking as he entered the White House was . . .. " as though it is possible to read the mind of a man who died 150 years ago (or yesterday, for that matter).10:35 am on November 11, 2012 Email Thomas DiLorenzo

The Development
The tower at the Lexicon, delivered by world-renowned Skidmore Owings & Merrill (SOM), adds to Central London's dynamic skyline. At 36-storeys high it stands as Islington's tallest building. The City Basin waterside apartments, moments from Angel tube and Silicon Roundabout, feature unrivalled views, spa, lounge and 24hr concierge. It's the place from which to write your own life story.
The Apartments
The one, two and three bedroom apartments take their inspiration from the culture and landscape of Lexicon's location. The result is an experience that breathes luxury, glamour and delight into every home. Beautiful and inspiring, they let you shape and colour your life as you please.
The Location
Lexicon's superb canalside location sits beautifully within London's booming east and central neighbourhoods. Experience Islington's unique charm, bustling restaurants and cafes to the north. Get inspired in nearby creative Clerkenwell or embrace the vibrant social and cultural scene of Shoreditch just east of Lexicon.
Getting Around
Where will your story go when you live in one of the most well connected areas of Central London? Angel, Old Street and Farringdon tube stations are moments away. The City Road pulses with taxis and buses. The recently transformed stations at Kings Cross and St Pancras are springboards abroad, making weekend trips to Europe as easy as they are exciting. Somewhere closer? Try a kayak or narrow boat along the Regent's Canal system, stretching right across London.
Local Area Map
Lexicon feels close to everywhere in central London. Every direction from its waterside location offers a different social, cultural and entertainment choice within easy reach. Or, just get away from the hustle and bustle of the City for a leisurely stroll or bike ride along the tranquil Regent's Canal that beckons at the base of the development.

Beg, Borrow Or Steal For UofL – UK Football TicketsQuick, Tom Jurich! Line up all of the big contractors in the bi-state area and start adding at least 25,000 seats before next football season starts. Or else rent UK's Commonwealth Stadium and save 70,000 of the tickets for University of Louisville fans.
That way more Cardinal fans will get to see the game than they could even if the game is played in Louisville.
Okay! Okay! I've been asked these two questions repeatedly:
- Will Teddy Bridgewater return for his junior season?
- Is Bridgewater the best quarterback in the history of Cardinal football?
Answer to question No. 1: Yes, I would think that he most certainly will be back for his junior season. After that, and if he stays healthy, he probably will enter his name in the NFL draft after his third season in Louisville. The money will be too big to risk another season in college football.
Answer to question No. 2: With another outstanding year, he can be the best-ever quarterback – WHILE – at UofL.
But neither Bridgewater nor anyone else likely will ever be the equal of his entire career of Johnny Unitas, the premier NFL quarterback of all time.
You couldn't get the late Unitas to say that, but it is true.
Once when I interviewed him for my TV show, I asked him who was the greatest passer he ever saw. I didn't expect him to say that he was, but I tried to give him the opportunity.
But he answered, "Dan Fouts," the QB who shared the San Diego starting job with Johnny U during Unitas' final season in the NFL.
Another question: Was the thrashing of Florida in the Sugar Bowl the biggest victory in Cardinal history? When Howard Schnellenberger's Cards defeated Alabama 34-7 in the 1991 Fiesta Bowl, that was regarded as the biggest achievement ever for the Cards, the one that would get Louisville over the hump and into the highest ranks of college football. But it didn't work out.
Now the Cards are on the cusp of something biggest of all in the football history of the university.
Cardinals' future?
DeVante Parker is the finest ball-catcher in the history of Cardinal football. He played for Ballard against Trinity and the powerful Shamrocks still extol his superb catches. He is the one local player they could not stop.
Now Parker's partnership with Bridgewater is paying tremendous dividends. It's a joy to watch him soar high and stretch out for an over-the-head touchdown catch.
And we probably haven't seen anything yet! Next season Parker will be joined by Trinity's game-breaking James Quick, who soars over defensive players. When he comes down, he has the speed to outrun defenders. He is a state sprint champion and, like Parker, stars in basketball. He was a starter on Trinity's state championship basketball team.
Stay Away!
How long will Charlie Strong stay with the Cards?
I can't see Florida staying with its coach and the Gators will come calling for their long-time defensive coordinator to come back to the Sunshine state. The NFL also will be lurking.

BARCELONA, Spain — Lionel Messi's girlfriend gave birth to a baby boy, the Barcelona star's first child, on Friday.
Messi and his girlfriend Antonella Rocuzzo named the boy Thiago.
"Today I am the happiest man in the world, my son was born and thanks to God for this gift!" Messi wrote on Facebook. "Thanks to my family for the support! A hug to everyone."
Barcelona excused the 25-year-old Argentina forward from training Friday morning to attend his son's birth at a hospital in Barcelona.
In a recent interview with Spanish newspaper El Pais, Messi said he was looking forward to becoming a father.
"I'm prepared for Thiago's arrival, it is very exciting," said Messi. "It makes you think of things in a different way. You can no longer just think about yourself, you think about him, and how you hope he doesn't have any problems."
Earlier Friday, Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova said he still expected Messi to play in Saturday's Spanish league match against Celta Vigo at Camp Nou stadium.
"Leo didn't attend training, but tomorrow he will play in the match," said Vilanova. "If everything goes well, he will come to play. It doesn't change our plans at all that he didn't train today."
Thiago's birth was reported by various Spanish news outlets, and Messi's father, Jorge, told Argentine news agency Telam that he had been born.

Leaving the kids with your other half may bring on worries: Will you miss a big baby milestone? Can he handle your oldest's curveballs? "You may feel the kids are mostly your responsibility," Dr. Brosh says, but your husband needs time to bond with them, and you need time for yourself. Next time he talks about heading to a ball game with friends, ask to switch roles; he watches the kids, and you go out with your pals. He doesn't have to like missing the game, but he has to see you deserve time off from parenting.

Tenn. County Working To Build On Stimulus Job Gain
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) ¿ Perry County officials are looking for ways to make job gains more permanent after short-term federal stimulus money helped cut unemployment in the rural Tennessee county from the nation's highest rate in May to 16.4 percent in November.
In May, Gov. Phil Bredesen announced a plan to bring 300 government and private sector jobs to Perry County by using funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and other federal funds through September 2010.
The county's unemployment rate was 25 percent at the time, the nation's highest, according to Perry County Mayor John Carroll. The figure was down to 16.4 percent in November, the latest tally. The state's overall unemployment rate in November was 10.3 percent, down from 10.5 percent the month before, according to the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development."We still have a high unemployment rate, but it would be significantly higher had Governor Bredesen's recovery program not been implemented," Carroll said. Carroll is hoping to maintain his county's unemployment rate ¿ or possibly lower it ¿ when the stimulus money stops. The mayor, along with other county and state officials, met Dec. 17 with an economic development specialist who outlined ways the county can boost its economy in the long term. The main recommendation from Mark Williams, president of Columbia, S.C.-based Strategic Development Group, is to take a "diversified approach" and not be so industry oriented.

After having just undergone a complete physical, at the age of 42 and with no prior personal or family history of Cardiovascular Disease, I experienced two heart attacks. I was unaware that the initial symptoms I was experiencing were a heart attack, as the pain was in my left arm (not my right), my chest discomfort was similar to indigestion and my muscle pain was a stiff neck and shoulder. My 18 year old son suggested taking an aspirin, which I did and the pain subsided, though the pressure in my chest remained. I waited two days before seeking medical attention and was then rushed by ambulance to the hospital. In the hospital, my doctors discovered a total blockage of my Left Anterior Distending Artery and I suffered a second large attack while on the operating table and received three stents. I have been placed on an aspirin regimen of 325mg. in accompaniment to my other medications.

The season is slowing down. Brocantes are becoming fewer (less participants) and farther between (only on the weekends). We have just over a week and a half before school resumes here. (Listen for my huge sigh of relief to have a few more focused work-hours each day without the 'enfants' juggle!)
In the US you are celebrating 'Labor Day' next weekend--and there the standard style and dress etiquette dictates--'No white after labor day'... or at least it used to be that way--fashion rules are now meant to be broken!--N'est ce-pas? Surely Petite Fille can wear her little white-flowered sandals for a few more weeks?
So the {unintentional} theme in purchases this past weekend turned out to be WHITE.... end of summer white? Gorgeous crisp linens in the way of pillow covers and charming white vintage porcelain pieces ... to name a few of the things I came away from the brocante in Deauville with....
A set of six classic-white porcelain soft-boiled egg cups, 'Coquetier Sur Pied'.
White 'lattice' patterned porcelain pieces, a perfect display collection, cottage-sweet and versatile.
And I made a visit to see my linen-lady---as lovely as always and bought more fabulous white pillow covers. I think this group is particularly stunning!
White after Labor Day? In the home--it is never out of season!
Details about the brocante and more weekend finds to come! Enjoy your week mes amis!

Greenhouses are the structures with plastic or glass, preferably glass, roof and walls, to grow plants within. They retain heat and keep the plants and ground warm. Greenhouses range in size from small sheds to large buildings. These structures are available in different styles.
Traditional Style Greenhouses: Traditional greenhouses allow generous growing space and are easy to work and move around. But these styles are quite expensive to heat them during winter.
Barn Style Roof Greenhouses: These greenhouses are impressive and have more space. They have generous head room and grow area. Barn style greenhouses are ideal for growing taller plants and they require no bases.
Lean-to Style Greenhouses: These structures are kept leaning on the walls and are highly space saving. Lean-to greenhouses are heat efficient but they may need additional ventilation and shade blinds, since they could overheat in summer if kept south facing.
Heptagonal Greenhouses: As the name suggests, they are heptagonal in shape and they need only a little space. They are ideal for small plants and can be conveniently placed in patios.
Cold Frame Greenhouses: Cold frame greenhouses are ideal for winter and they protect plants from frost. These structures are easy to move and assemble. They are cheap and affordable.
Polythene racked Greenhouses: These are the most commonly used green houses with shelves and stages. They are ideal for growing many small plants and are affordable. But they have disadvantages such as they could blow away during heavy winds due to lightweight construction and they cannot be heated.
Heaters: There are three types of heating systems for greenhouses, electrical heaters, gas heaters and paraffin heaters. These heaters are easy to install and have maximum efficiency.
Replacement covers, windowsill propagators, poly tunnel cloche, thermometers, propagator covers, capillary kits and seed trays are some of the other accessories available for greenhouses.

Colorado Springs police say a man who barricaded himself inside a home on Thundercloud Drive on the northeast side of Colorado Springs appears to have taken his own life.
The standoff forced the evacuations of surrounding homes in the neighborhood near Research Parkway and Rangewood Drive for more than seven hours.
SWAT members were called out to the home before 1 p.m. following a family disturbance. According to police, a man reportedly smashed the window of a vehicle outside and then went back into his home,
alone, carrying a propane tank and a drill. The man threatened to blow up the house and claimed that he had set up booby traps at entrances around the house.
Officers saw the man inside when they arrived, possibly armed with a long gun.
Just before 8 p.m., and after several attempts with tear gas resulted in no response, police went in and found the man dead inside. Police said it appears he took his own life, though that will not be officially determined until the coroner examines the body.
Neighbors told 11 News Thursday they're struggling with what went down so close to home.
"A little shocked," said Jeri McCarl, whose home was evacuated. "[I think] I knew something bad was going to come out of it just by how everything was going on."
Evacuations were lifted by 8:15 p.m.
Authorities have provided mental health resources for the man's family.
Police have not released the man's name at this point.

text: Joe Rosenthal's 1945 photograph of U.S. troops raising a flag in Iwo Jima during World War II remains one of the most widely reproduced images. It earned him a Pulitzer Prize, but he also faced suspicions that he staged the patriotic scene. While it was reported to be a genuine event, it was the second flag-raising of the day atop Mount Suribachi. The first flag, raised hours earlier, was deemed too small to be seen from the base of the mountain. Look back at other photographs that have helped define modern history.

In this podcast we look at what happened in Japan from a Gnostic point of view.
Richard Roocroft and E. Jim G. Ross discuss what's happening to our planet. Samael Aun Weor, the founder of Gnostic Anthropology, said many years ago that tsunamis would devastate our shores, and radioactivity would contaminate our atmosphere. (Cosmic Teachings of a Lama, 1970)
Some of the other subjects talked about in this podcast include:
Narciso Genovese wrote the book called I have Been on Mars. According to Samael Aun Weor, this book is completely accurate in all details. This means we have already made first contact with aliens. The podcast speaks about the life of Narcisco Genovese, why it was important to have a linguist in the Marconi Group, what they did in Brazil, and why extraterrestrials are avoiding us.

A 29-year-old man is scheduled to appear Friday in court, after being arrested over the Fourth of July holiday weekend in Naperville and charged with aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol.
Peter M. Riedy, of Lisle, remained Thursday night in DuPage County Jail on $70,000 bail. He is expected Friday to answer a felony count of aggravated driving under the influence with a suspended or revoked license, as well as charges of DUI, driving with a suspended license, possession of 2.5 grams or less of marijuana and speeding 15-20 mph over the posted limit, according to DuPage County Circuit Court records.
Riedy was arrested about 1:49 a.m. Sunday, after a Naperville police officer stopped him for speeding near Bailey Road and Washington Street, Sgt. Steve Schindlbeck said.
The officer allegedly found Riedy drunk behind the wheel of a green, 2004 Lexus, Schindlbeck wrote in an email. He offered no resistance and did not speak to the officer, Schindlbeck said.
Police seized the Lexus following Riedy's arrest. Court records indicated he stands to lose the vehicle in a pending car forfeiture case.
It would be the second time Riedy lost a car following an arrest. He forfeited a 1993 Mercury in March 2009, court records showed.
Riedy has been arrested and charged at least twice with driving while his license was suspended, in April 2006 in Aurora and July 2007 in Naperville. The judges who later convicted him placed him on supervision and fined him each time, according to Kane County and DuPage County court records.
He was also arrested in September 2008 and May 2009, in misdemeanor cases of marijuana possession in Naperville, records indicated. He was found guilty and placed on supervision in both cases, and was ordered to perform 40 hours of community service work in the latter, records showed.
Riedy also was one of 15 teenagers and young adults who were ticketed by Naperville police for attending a May 2003 party where alcohol was being served. The party was held in a home on Black Stallion Court, in the Hobson Hollow area of the city's far east side.

Guest Post: Why Spain Is A Riot [Zerohedge]
October 7, 2012 Leave a comment
Why Spain is a riot
The reason why Spain is a riot both financially and socially goes beyond matters of economic policy. Spain faces a graver problem, its political institutions.
Over the past few weeks, Spain has received worldwide attention due to its deteriorating economy and growing outbursts of massive social protests. Most notably, US presidential candidate Mitt Romney said in his debate with President Barack Obama last week that he did not want his country to "go down the path to Spain."
As the world fixes its eyes on the eurozone's fourth largest economy, analysts continue to offer suggestions as to how to best tackle the Iberian country's economic woes. However, the reason why Spain is a riot both financially and socially goes beyond matters of economic policy. Spain faces a graver problem, its political institutions.
Spain's political establishment: stale and clientelistic
Perhaps the most lamentable element in Spain's political class is that it is hard, almost anecdotal, to find elected officials with a track record outside the public sector. For too many years, the country has been governed by bureaucrats who have no experience whatsoever in the real world of business. The majority of Spain's politicians do not know what it is to conceive an idea, to risk one's own wealth, to deal with banks, workers and suppliers, and, ultimately, to experience failure and success. Sadly, the Spanish taxpayer-financed political establishment understands failure and success only in terms of which side of the aisle their members are seated in parliament.
Furthermore, Spain's political system is extremely sectarian and clientelistic. The concept of merit among the political class has been perverted into allegiance to the apparatus – and to the right leader within. Future political promises are embraced by parties when they are young and, years later, the chosen ones find themselves making decisions on public policy without ever setting foot in the real world: a group of individuals whose only interest is that of the party which keeps them fed and spoiled. Unfortunately, and to use Daron Acemoglu's term, this type of "extractive" political institutions have contaminated other areas of civil society as well and have distorted a free society's vital values of meritocracy and personal accountability from the educational system all the way to the business fabric.

Anna Clyne nominated for Times Breakthrough Award(January 2014)
Anna Clyne has been nominated for the 2014 Times Breakthrough Award - public voting now open until end of Friday 10 January.
Composer Anna Clyne, British-born and now US-resident, has been nominated for The Times Breakthrough Award, a special category at the annual South Bank Sky Arts Awards ceremony celebrating young talent that has emerged over the past year. One nomination is made from each of ten arts forms, with Anna Clyne representing classical music. The final Breakthrough winner will be selected across the art forms by public voting on the Awards website.
> Vote for Anna Clyne representing classical music
(Voting open to UK and Republic of Ireland residents aged 18 or over)
Anna Clyne (b.1980, London) has emerged as a young composer of exceptional talent. The past year has seen the UK premiere of her orchestral work Night Ferry by the BBC Symphony Orchestra at the Barbican, and the first UK performance of A Wonderful Day at the Edinburgh Festival by the Bang on a Can All-Stars. The Last Night of the Proms in September opened with the world premiere of her concert overture Masquerade, conducted by Marin Alsop and televised globally by the BBC. Anna Clyne is Mead Composer in Residence with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
In his nomination citation for Anna Clyne in The Times, Richard Morrison describes how "much of the most imaginative new music for orchestras is coming from young women. Leading the charge is 33-year-old Anna Clyne. Her big breakthrough, as far as British audiences are concerned, came last September at the Last Night of the Proms when millions of television viewers heard her specially written orchestral work Masquerade, described by The Times as "a giddy, mosaic-like swirl round an English country dance".
Melyvn Bragg will once again act as master of ceremonies at the event on Monday 27 January at the Dorchester Hotel in London and the award itself will be designed by the legendary pop artist Sir Peter Blake, who famously co-created the album sleeve for The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
"Once again, the list of nominees for the South Bank Sky Arts Awards shows that the UK arts landscape is as vibrant as ever. It's vital to honour the excellence of artists, performers, musicians and authors especially at this time, and were very glad that we can do this," commented Melvyn Bragg.
The awards will be broadcast on Sky Arts 1 on Thursday 30 January 2014 at 9.30pm.

The band is thick, about 1/2" wide. I was disappointed I didn't get to choose which band. We were hoping for the green one and we got the black that only says Angry Birds without any character names.
