CINCINNATI–Macy's, Inc. has announced a series of store openings and closings, part of what the company calls its "normal-course process" to selectively prune underperforming Macy's and Bloomingdale's locations while also opening new ones to fill gaps in local markets and take advantage of new opportunities.
"We continue to be committed to maintaining a healthy portfolio of stores that allows us to focus on growth from our best and most productive locations," said Terry J. Lundgren, Macy's chairman,
president and CEO. "This requires us to make some difficult decisions to close stores that no longer meet our performance requirements, as well as to open stores where we see opportunity."
Macy's will close stores in the following five locations in early spring 2012: West Ridge Mall in Topeka, Kan.; Laurel Mall in Laurel, Md.; Parmatown in Parma, Ohio; Hickory Hollow in Antioch, Texas; and Mall of the Mainland in Texas City, Texas. As previously reported, five new Macy's stores, as well as one replacement store, will be located in Victorville, Calif.; Gurnee, Ill.; the Bronx, N.Y.; Salt Lake City, Utah; Greendale, Wis.; and Bay Shore, N.Y. (the replacement store).
Bloomingdale's will close four stores in the following locations in early spring: Perimeter Mall in Atlanta; Oakbrook Home and Furniture in Oak Brook, Ill.; White Flint in North Bethesda, Md.; and Mall of America in Bloomington, Minn. Bloomingdale's is planning to open one new store in Glendale Galleria in Glendale, Calif., in fall 2013, as well as an all-new, smaller-format store in Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto, Calif. The new 120,000-square-foot-store will replace an existing 229,000-square-foot-store and is slated to open in spring 2014, subject to completion of a public approval process.
In conjunction with these store closings, an estimated $25 million to $30 million of costs (of which approximately $20 million will be non-cash) will be booked in the fourth quarter of 2011, Macy's said. These costs were not included in previous earnings guidance provided by the company.

By Kajol Singh | INN Live
Those in the Congress who were quietly trying to nudge Manmohan Singh out of his prime ministerial perch at the fag-end of his tenure got an answer on Tuesday: he will not oblige and announce his resignation at the press conference he's scheduled to address on Friday morning.
Instead, the Prime Minister will be seeking to put behind the trying time faced by his UPA-II government and the party and use the New Year to reflect on the "shortcomings and lapses" and take "corrective action" for a "new beginning". This is Manmohan Singh on Tuesday, by his own words.
Since in the two functional months that is left of UPA-II before the Election Commission announces its schedule for the parliamentary polls, there's not much scope for a New Year pledge by an outgoing Prime Minister, a 'new beginning' can only be in the form of a new leader.
Many, therefore, believe that an announcement to that effect may come from the Prime Minister Singh on Friday. He may formally endorse Rahul Gandhi as the party's prime ministerial candidate for 2014.
It could be a public acknowledgment of sort that he's ready to bow out of active politics in favour of a younger leadership as in Rahul. "A retirement plan, not a resignation offer," as a senior minister put it.
An announcement from the PM, sources said, will clear the way for Rahul as the PM candidate before the AICC session on January 17. "Without the PM... graciously making way for Rahulji (projection as his successor), it may look like the party is dumping him".
As the new year starts, the speculation was rife about Rahul Gandhi not just exercising greater influence in the government, but even being appointed as the Congress' prime ministerial candidate.
Information and Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari said: "Rahul Gandhi is the natural leader of the Congress."
Tewari added that Congress president Sonia Gandhi had already said that if there was a need to declare the candidate, it would be done at a proper time and there was no need for any hurry.
The Minister's views came after speculation became rife that Rahul may replace Manmohan Singh as the Prime Minister, or even declared as prime ministerial candidate later this week.
Finance Minister P Chidambaram had earlier demanded that the Congress should declare its prime ministerial candidate soon.
Meanwhile, Manish Tewari denied that Manmohan Singh was stepping down from his post.
The Information and Broadcasting Minister refused to comment on BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi's remark on Rahul Gandhi to 'Akashavani'. However, the BJP was quick to take jibes at the Congress over the current speculation about the announcement of Rahul as PM candidate.Senior BJP leader Yashwant Sinha said: "If they make Rahul Gandhi their prime ministerial candidate, then everybody knows what happened to the Congress in the Assembly elections.
"The whole country knows that Rahul could not click anywhere." Senior BJP leader Muktar Abbas naqvi added that the Congress would not be able to wash away the taint of corruption with malgovernance.

Top 10 Nest Box Ideas Around the Farm
Finding ways to cut costs on the farm in today's economy by making or designating items for chicken husbandry can boost the family budget—or at least not tap it for new items. As more people decide to keep chickens on the farm, most of them want to save money in keeping with their self-sufficient lifestyles.
Purpose of nest boxes
The basic purpose of a nest box is to encourage hens to lay their eggs in a clean cubicle in relative peace and privacy. A properly built nest assures that eggs are kept in a good environment for collection or hatching. Chickens are not particular about where they lay their eggs; however, a suitable nest box in which to lay eggs can make things flow more smoothly around the farm. No one wants to hunt for eggs, except perhaps at Easter!
Best materials
Nest box construction can be pretty basic or more elaborate, depending on your creativity, available materials and finances. The best materials from which to make chicken nests are those that are easy to clean and sterilize. For example, metal and plastic can be sanitized, bleached and scrubbed. In addition, these materials don't absorb chicken feces or the product you use to clean them. Conversely, wooden boxes are convenient and easy to fabricate, but a little more tricky to clean.
How many hens per nest box?
Most chicken experts recommend an average of one nesting space per five birds. Others say no more than one nest per 3-4 birds, which is more in keeping with the Five Freedoms guidance that promotes proper animal welfare. On the other end of the scale, the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs advises a ratio of one nesting box to seven hens. Overall, the minimum standards suggest not over-burdening nesting boxes.
Lining nests
Nesting boxes can be lined with wood shavings, sawdust or even shredded paper. You can also use grass clippings as long as your lawn wasn't chemically treated. Many commercial supply houses, farm and feed stores offer rubber mats that fit in the bottom of chicken nesting boxes. They cost about $5 each but are likely to last a long time and are easy to clean.
Many experts discourage poultry enthusiasts from using hay, as it can become moldy and detrimental to the chicken's health. But any nest liner can fall into that category. Straw and hay can be used if nests are cleaned often, about every 4-6 weeks.
One word of interest: Chickens often rotate, even from day to day. A fairly thick nest lining seems to please the hens more than sparsely furnished nests.
How to keep other hens and predators out
Nests should be designed or placed within the chicken house so they can be accessed easily for egg gathering and periodic cleaning. Poultry experts advise chicken keepers not to let chickens lay eggs outside on the ground. There is a thin coating on eggs when they are laid that helps protect the egg against bacteria, should the hen decide it's time to sit on them to hatch. This thin layer is detectable by predators and eggs laid on the ground will not be safe.
Inside the chicken house, other hens will be less interested in soiling nests if the nests are placed in the darkest parts of the building away from the flock activity outside. A piece of burlap over the front of the nest is also an effective barrier. Discourage your chickens from doing anything but laying eggs in their chicken nests by shooing them out when you notice they're loitering.

I am taking a short break –
Dick has the story on the blog party – an enjoyable night nonetheless!
I am taking a short break –
Dick has the story on the blog party – an enjoyable night nonetheless!
I have returned to the blogosphere, more soon.
Hope to see you all there – I should get there for about 5pm…
Market Bar
Fade Street
A fellow blogger has lost a friend – nothing I can add.
Posts will be light over the coming days…and should return to normal after the blog do on Saturday!
I am not sure how well publicised this event is, but following the comments received it seems best to go for the 15th. Unfortunately this means that Mick, Barry and Treasa will not be there – but I hope blog get togethers like this become more frequent than bi-annual.
As for venue I suggest the Market Bar, Dublin, Ireland, like last time, it has Wifi for those of you who want to use it, and no music for those of us who want to chat about blogging, oh and it has a BAR too, for those of you who might want to get sloshed (like me). I did get the yellow jersey last time, so who can beat me this time? Shall we say around 7? Email me if you need a contact number, if you don't know anyone personally!
The Market Bar is located off George's Street on Fade Street, just down from Hogan's. It's the red brick building.
How many takers? Please leave a comment or drop me mail, so we can have an idea of numbers…
Update: I've sent out a bunch of mails to all the Irish bloggers I could find, and I know I've missed some – if you know anyone who might be interested let them know, everyone is welcome, including the couple of readers who drop by! :-)
I spent the evening having a good look round a test installation of Movable Type 3.14. It is a much cleaner version than 2.661, and seems to have much better features. WordPress meanwhile is on its way from 1.2.2 to 1.5.
Kevin Drum points to some statements Paul Wolfowitz made in the lead up to the war in Iraq. Among them:
Mr. Wolfowitz…opened a two-front war of words on Capitol Hill, calling the recent estimate by Gen. Eric K. Shinseki of the Army that several hundred thousand troops would be needed in postwar Iraq, "wildly off the mark." Pentagon officials have put the figure closer to 100,000 troops.
….In his testimony, Mr. Wolfowitz ticked off several reasons why he believed a much smaller coalition peacekeeping force than General Shinseki envisioned would be sufficient to police and rebuild postwar Iraq. He said there was no history of ethnic strife in Iraq, as there was in Bosnia or Kosovo.
He said Iraqi civilians would welcome an American-led liberation force that "stayed as long as necessary but left as soon as possible," but would oppose a long-term occupation force. And he said that nations that oppose war with Iraq would likely sign up to help rebuild it. "I would expect that even countries like France will have a strong interest in assisting Iraq in reconstruction," Mr. Wolfowitz said. He added that many Iraqi expatriates would likely return home to help.
….Enlisting countries to help to pay for this war and its aftermath would take more time, he said. "I expect we will get a lot of mitigation, but it will be easier after the fact than before the fact," Mr. Wolfowitz said. Mr. Wolfowitz spent much of the hearing knocking down published estimates of the costs of war and rebuilding, saying the upper range of $95 billion was too high….Moreover, he said such estimates, and speculation that postwar reconstruction costs could climb even higher, ignored the fact that Iraq is a wealthy country, with annual oil exports worth $15 billion to $20 billion. "To assume we're going to pay for it all is just wrong," he said.
Fred Kagan in the Weekly Standard on why Rumsfeld must go:
With more troops in Iraq during and immediately after the war, we would have been able to do the following things that we did not do:
* Capture or kill thousands of Iraqi soldiers who were at that time still concentrated in combat units and had not yet melted back into the countryside with their weapons and their skills.
* Guard the scores of enormous ammunition dumps from which the insurgents have drawn the vast majority of their weapons, ammunition, and explosives.
* Secure critical oil and electrical infrastructure that the insurgents subsequently attacked, setting back the economic and political recovery of Iraq.
* Prevent the development of insurgent safe havens in Najaf and Falluja, or at least disrupt them at a much earlier stage of formation.
* Work to interdict the infiltration of foreign fighters across Iraq's borders.
If the U.S. Army had begun expanding in 2001, we would have been able to:
* Establish reasonable rotation plans for our soldiers that did not require repeatedly extending tours of duty beyond one year.
* Avoid the need to activate reservists involuntarily.
* Dramatically reduce the frequency with which soldiers return from one year-long tour only to be sent immediately on another.
* Let the troops that would still have been overstrained know that help really was on the way.
The U.S. military did not do these things because of Rumsfeld's choices. He chose to protect a military transformation program that is designed to fight wars radically different from the one in which we are engaged. He chose to protect Air Force and Navy programs that are far less urgent and under far less strain during the current crisis rather than augmenting the service carrying the lion's share of the load. He chose to focus on high-tech weapons technologies that are virtually useless to the troops now in Iraq rather than providing them sooner with the basic requirements of their current mission–including armored Humvees, body armor, and a regular complement of armored vehicles. Even the deployment of Stryker light armored vehicles, which many now tout as a major contribution to the fighting in Iraq, was not Rumsfeld's initiative, but that of General Eric Shinseki. Shinseki was the Army chief of staff whom Rumsfeld drove out of office, partly for correctly predicting that Operation Iraqi Freedom would require more than the handful of units that Rumsfeld and his staff were willing to send.
It is not that Rumsfeld's decisions were without a rationale. The secretary of defense simply chose to prioritize preparing America's military for future conventional conflict rather than for the current mission. That position, based on the hope that the current mission would be of short duration and the recognition that the future may arrive at any moment, is understandable. It just turns out to have been wrong.
Update: Kevin Drum offers his two cents, Andrew Sullivan does the same
Dan Drezner has a break down of the publications that influence opinion…Foreign Affairs tops the poll. I always enjoy reading it, though the cover price is a bit steep. The top 10 are:
Foreign Affairs
CQ Weekly
The New York Times
The Wall Street Journal
The Economist
Harvard Business Review
The Washington Post
The New York Times Sunday Edition
The New England Journal of Medicine
[via Insta} Tom Friedman answers my questions about Iraqis getting plain tired of terrorism.
It needs to be clear that these so-called insurgents are not fighting to liberate Iraq from America, but rather to reassert the tyranny of a Sunni-Baathist minority over the majority there. The insurgents are clearly desperate that they not be cast as fighting a democratically elected Iraqi government – which is why they are desperately trying to scuttle the elections. After all, if all they wanted was their fair share of the pie, and nothing more, they would be taking part in the elections.
We cannot liberate Iraq, and never could. Only Iraqis can liberate themselves, by first forging a social contract for sharing power and then having the will to go out and defend that compact against the minorities who will try to resist it. Elections are necessary for that process to unfold, but not sufficient. There has to be the will – among Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds – to forge that equitable social contract and then fight for it.
In short, we need these elections in Iraq to see if there really is a self-governing community there ready, and willing, to liberate itself – both from Iraq's old regime and from us. The answer to this question is not self-evident. This was always a shot in the dark – but one that I would argue was morally and strategically worth trying.
Because if it is impossible for the peoples of even one Arab state to voluntarily organize themselves around a social contract for democratic life, then we are looking at dictators and kings ruling this region as far as the eye can see. And that will guarantee that this region will be a cauldron of oil-financed pathologies and terrorism for the rest of our lives.
Looks like Sims 2 has been hit with a semi-virus, right under the noses of EA.Sims are suddenly comfortable with open relationships, and the social worker no longer cares how they treat their children
Entire neighborhoods of Sims are being mysteriously graced with eternal youth, while some characters are finding all their needs fulfilled by a single shot of magic espresso. Others no longer need to empty the toilet after potty training their toddler. Some Sims are being abducted by aliens when they glance through their telescope — every time, instead of just occasionally, which is normal.
Treasa adds her two cents…
I believe a lot of people work longer hours to look good. I've past experience of that too.
I really need to simmer down because ultimately, this doesn't really matter. I don't work in America, I don't want to work in America. I can just about cope with the fact that trouble shooting a problem with them is almost unbearable, because they don't know their network but they expect me to know their network. Meanwhile, I'll just calculate how many days annual leave I'll need to use for my exams, cos I don't get exam or study leave for this Masters relevant to my job I am doing part time.
I do wish I had satellite sometimes – but I do enjoy watching the Daily Show when I get a torrent or something…of course I'm just saying that because of these figures…
With vulgar fare such as The Man Show, South Park, and Reno 911!, the cable network Comedy Central has earned a reputation for pandering to the Rabelaisian tastes of slackers, stoners, and frat boys. But is that reputation deserved? The Annenberg Public Policy Center set out to answer this question by comparing viewers of Jon Stewart's The Daily Show with those of David Letterman's and Jay Leno's (relatively) staid offerings. The findings are surprising. To be sure, Stewart's viewers are much younger and much more heavily male than his late-night competitors'. But they are also wealthier and better educated: 30 percent have annual household incomes above $75,000, compared with only 25 percent of Letterman's and Leno's viewers. Some 39 percent of The Daily Show's viewers have college degrees, compared with only 29 percent of Letterman's and 27 percent of Leno's. In a perhaps not unrelated finding Annenberg discovered that Stewart's audience is also more politically aware: 46 percent of Daily Show watchers follow politics "most of the time," versus 38 percent of Letterman watchers and 39 percent of Leno watchers. And when the researchers asked respondents six questions about contemporary politics, Stewart viewers on average answered 60 percent of them correctly; Leno and Letterman viewers on average answered only 49 percent correctly.
Can insurance be related to a rise in traffic deaths? A study by Alma Cohen and Rajeev Dehejia is worth a look. This is interesting for Irish readers who pay exorbitant rates, things are done differently in other countries…
To the roll of highway perils�drunks, cell phones, teenagers�can be added one more: the insured. A new study suggests that requiring insurance coverage may lead drivers to take a cavalier attitude toward road safety. Economists from Columbia University and Harvard Law School's Olin Center for Law, Economics, and Business examined the effects of the compulsory-insurance laws and no-fault insurance systems that were gradually adopted in the United States from 1970 to 1998. (Under no-fault systems each driver's insurance pays for the damages that he or she inflicts, though all states give drivers some exposure to lawsuits for negligence. Under older, fault-based systems, the at-fault driver pays all the damages.) Forty-five states now have compulsory insurance, and fourteen have no-fault systems. The researchers found that relaxation of liability is correlated with a 10 percent increase in traffic deaths (or about 4,000 dead travelers a year). Uninsured drivers tend to drive more carefully (after all, they themselves have to pay for accidents): for every one percent decrease in the number of uninsured drivers, the number of fatalities increases by two percent. Despite the "moral hazard" posed by insurance, the authors concede that compulsory and no-fault systems aren't all bad: though more people may die, the victims' families are far better remunerated than in the past.

Back with a beard
Jul 11, 2013
By Starla Pointer
Of the News-Register
"I'm part of a beard and mustache group in Portland," he said. "We all compete fairly often."
Most of the competitions are in the Portland area, where he lives. So he was excited when he heard about the new one at Turkey Rama, as he grew up in Newberg and started attending Turkey Rama long before he had facial hair.
Now 25, Morter has maintained a beard for years. It's currently about five inches long, he said.
"A beard is a way of life," he said. "If you're a real man, you can power through the summer with it."
While he admires free-flowing beards left to their own devices, Mortar brushes and oils his beard daily. He keeps it clean, too, using a mild shampoo with conditioner.
For people who are thinking of growing beards or entering the beard and mustache competition, Morter offered encouragement.
"Don't be scared," he said. "Just have fun with it. If you compete, it's just having fun with a group of like-minded people."

Windows 7 7600 1 X64
Greetings all, I have the opportunity to pick up a dead laptop for free.
The owner suspects that she was infected by a virus as she spewed out infected emails to her entire saved address list. She then said that she suffered catastrophic hard drive failure. So she is giving it to me.
I can easily replace the hard drive and install a Windows OS. Is there anything else I need to look at?
|My System Specs
|06 Dec 2009
W7 x64
I wouldn't necessarily take her word for the HDD being dead, just set the BIOS up to boot from a CD and run the usual utilities on the machine (BART PE disk, etc, if you have such tools to hand...)
|My System Specs

Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit / XP Home sp3
Other wise replacing the hard drive in a laptop is fairly easy. Usually remove 1 screw to release the hard drive cage. Then 4 screws to remove the drive from the cage and insert the new drive. It's a good idea to have the correct size of screw driver but that's about all their is to it. Reinstall in opposite, your in business. Oh and most come with a 5400 rpm drive I would look for a 7200 rpm drive for replacement.

WIndows 7 RC1 (32bit)
Depending on the model and the age of the laptop, you can look at investing in other upgrades as well.
Memory is pretty cheap these days, and most laptops can be upgraded to 2GB, or more.
eBay is a good place to find other components, like DVD R/W drives. Most CD/DVD drives are held in by a single screw, and can be easily replaced. If you are not up for serious customization, only look for drives for that model of laptop.
WiFi upgrades are available too, as most laptops use a mini-PCI card. So if the unit is 802.11b only, you can upgrade it to b/g without much effort. Some laptops like many Dell units also have easily installed Bluetooth adapters.
Also look at the condition of the keyboard. if any keys are broken, KB replacements can be found through many surplus resellers.

St. Catherine Laboure Comments
St. Catherine Laboure, virgin, was born on May 2, 1806. At an early age she entered the community of the Daughters of Charity, in Paris, France. Three times in 1830 the Virgin Mary appeared to St. Catherine Laboure, who then was a twenty-four year old novice. On July 18, the first apparition occurred in the community's motherhouse. St. Catherine beheld a lady seated on the right side of the sanctuary. When St. Catherine approached her, the ... Continue Reading

St catherine Laboure pray for me that i am washed in the blessed blood of Jesus Christ of Nazareth the he blesses me in all the wisdom and understanding i seek, i also ask for prayer to heal me on all my illnesses that are upon me, to live a long life with my family so that we serve the Lord in the most precious ways, i pray this through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,Amen

Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, pray for us. On the medal of your design, you explained that people sometimes did not ask for graces. While you chose St. Catherine Laboure to be your special emissary to carry out the mission to be known as "The Immaculate Conception", you supported her with the graces she needed when she faced opposition. Bless when we fear opposition, ridicule, criticism. Often, such fears lead us to be lazy,inactive and indifferent. Are we in Our Lord's vineyard?
I implore your help and graces, dear Mother for the mission that God has chosen for us, in our obscure lives. Dear St. Catherine Laboure, on earth, Mother Mary appeared to you. You are special to her. On your feast day and every day, intercede for us. Bring comfort to those who are bed-ridden, the sick and suffering, and all vulnerable children born with grave diseases. Amen

I have been told that there was no actual or "official Church approval" of St. Catherine's apparitions/messages and would like to know if that is correct. I understand that we now can read/follow alledged prophecies/messages as long as they do not contradict our Faith or Morals, but that wasn't the case then was it?

My wife was already 40 when we started a novena to Saint Catherine Laboure in hopes of having a daughter. We maintained a 9 month Novena and Saint Catherine heard our prayer. Our Daughter was conceived in Nov of 1992 and was born July 18th 1993 at midday. The doctors had told my wife and I that the child was a boy but we knew they were wrong, they also warned us that our child might have down syndrome but we maintained our faith in God and turned it all over to him. Our daughter was born completely healthy. Of course our daughter is named for this blessed saint, she turns 18 today, 7/18/2011. My daughter is the light of my life I am so blessed to of received this miracle.

This helped me because her feast day is on my birthday, and also I am trying to figure out who i want my patron saint to be.

I love Catherine's story and I admire her 'cause she offered her life to our Mother.
I'm proud to be an Inmaculadista 'cause she was the one who discovered the miracolous medal....

I loved the story on utube show's it in a reall way, the angel who went to st cathrine in her cell and told her to come with him then the angel announced the blessed virgin was there, she looked around she saw nothing. Then the beautiful mother queen of heaven appeared and sat on a golden chair. Saint Catherine layed her head on the blessed virgins lap where she was comforted, Then told what would happen in the near future. beautiful story. And her eyes are still blue like heaven even now in her state of sleep.

I really admire St. Catherine Laboure. She was simple and very holy. Catherine had a great devotion to Our Lady. No wonder Mary would appear to her, she came from a poor household and was from her youth very innocent and childlike. She is a wonderful saint. All of us can look up to her!
4 years ago
I truly appreciate the efforts of Catholic.org in spreading the Word of God. It became a reference point for me especially, in regards to Catholic Saints and Bible references.
In regards to St. Catherine Laboure's page, I would like to point out something which I found recently. Her feast day is not on 25 November as it mentioned on the page, but it's on 28 November.
Please have a look into this matter and update it accordingly.
God Bless

I realize that this sounds so very trite...but, the short biography provided herein will undoubtedly lead me to pursue in greater depth the life and experiences of this great saint, obviously profound, holy, and sweet, to whom our Holy Blessed Mother Mary saw fit to visit during those various moments of bliss. St. Catherine will affect my life as have few. Thank you...Michael

The Image Collections
The BGC's Visual Media Resources collection, which is in a state of constant and continual growth, represents a broad survey of the decorative arts and material culture, with deeper coverage in certain periods, materials or regions, as dictated by faculty interests. This collection of approximately 21,000 images is fully integrated into the ARTstor digital library through our subscription to ARTstor's Shared Shelf. In addition to the BGC's institutional collections, with its particular focus on the decorative arts and material culture, Bard College's art historically oriented collection, with more than 34,000 images, is also available to students and faculty within Shared Shelf. In development are other Shared Shelf-accessible BGC image collections including the Exhibition, Institutional Photographs, and Library Ephemera collections.
The BGC's slide collection, housed outside the VMR's public space, currently numbers 50,000 slides. It reflects the teaching interests of the BGC's faculty from its earliest days to the recent past, and as such has become a near-comprehensive overview of the decorative arts, spanning time, geography and medium. This collection is made available to faculty to facilitate their teaching, and the VMR continues to support it.

Tarantino in Concert at The Long Center for SXSW
Updated: Friday, February 10 2012, 02:31 PM CST
By Rob Faubion, Austin On Stage http://www.austinonstage.com/
The hit Los Angeles based series "For the Record" will stage their world theatrical premiere of the live concert experience on Wednesday, March 14, during the 2012 SXSW Festival.
The hit Los Angeles-based series "For the Record" will visit The Long Center for the Performing Arts during SXSW 2012 for the world theatrical premiere of Tarantino in Concert. The live concert experience on Wednesday, March 14, brings the movies of noted filmmaker Tarantino to life through the soundtracks he meticulously integrated into each of his films.
Conceived and directed by Shane Scheel and Christopher Lloyd Bratten, the production's design team will include Emmy Award-winning lighting director Travis Hagenbuch along with Matthew Steinbrenner and Perry Freeze. Tarantino in Concert was originally staged a year and a half ago in Los Angeles as the first show in the "For The Record" series - which celebrates songs and moments from the body of work by a featured director. The 25th anniversary retrospective highlights hit Tarantino-directed films that include Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Four Rooms, Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2, Death Proof and Inglourious Basterds.
"To watch this idea and show grow over the past year and a half from an intimate concert in front of about 40 friends to now performing at The Long Center for the Performing Arts for over 2,000 people has been an incredible journey," said creator Scheel. "Having Quentin Tarantino come to see For the Record: Tarantino in Concert - and absolutely love it - reaffirmed that what we are presenting is truly something special and unique."
The rotating ensemble of film, television, record and Broadway talent come together to create a unique fusion of music, theatre and film that brings motion pictures to life in a concert setting. Past shows in the series have highlighted the works of Baz Luhrmann, John Hughs and the Coen Brothers.
The Austin performance cast is slated to star Tracie Thoms (Tarantino's Death Proof), Anneliese van der Pol (Disney's "That's So Raven"), Jackie Tohn (Bravo's "Platinum Hit"), Von Smith (Fox's "American Idol"), Rogelio Douglas Jr. (Broadway's In The Heights), Ginifer King (Broadway's Gypsy), Jason Paige (Blood Sweat and Tears), Darryl Semira (Broadway's Mamma Mia). Anderson Davis (Broadway's South Pacific), Steve Mazurek (TNT's "Hawthorne"), Ben Goldberg (NBC's "ER"), Lisa Datz (Broadway's The Full Monty) and Danielle Truitt (Disney's The Princess and the Frog). The performance will also include Tawny Dolley, Dionne Gipson, Tinuke Oyefule and Margaret M. Spirito.
Tickets range from $24 to $49, and the performance will begin at 8 p.m. The Long Center for the Performing Arts is located at 701 W. Riverside Drive at the corner of Riverside and South First Street. For more information and reservations, call (512) 474-LONG (5664) or visit www.TheLongCenter.org.

- Safeway in Arizona, A: What the Gabrielle Giffords Shooting Tells Us About the Grand Canyon State and Life in America
- By Tom Zoellner. Viking. 276 pp. $26.95.
- Less than a year after the event, Zoellner provides a thorough and thoughtful account of the Giffords shooting and its aftermath. Perhaps more importantly, he surveys the attitudes and politics that have come to represent what is often characterized as our gun culture. He does not pretend that gun control--a hot-button issue if ever there was one--is a simple matter with simple solutions. Instead he presents the views of a range of citizens, demonstrating how very, very difficult it will be to find common ground. [ ]
- Because of overwhelming sadness and anger it was weeks before I could pick up this book and months before I could read it through, but Im glad I did. Following the January 2011 mass shooting of innocent people, including a congresswoman, we in Tucson have struggled to cope, and newsman Zoellner provides a compelling discussion of the events while asking are we who we think we are? At least two other books from this horrific crime show how people recover from unprovoked terror: "Gabby: A Story of Courage and Hope" by Gabrielle Giffords and Mark Kelly and "As Good As She Imagined: The Redeeming Story of the Angel of Tucson, Christina Taylor-Green" by Roxanna Green and Jerry B. Jenkins. [ ]
- Saguaro National Park
- By Jane Eppinga. Arcadia Publishing. 127 pp. Index. $21.99.
- Jane Eppinga has assembled several of these photo books, each more fun than the last. This one provides a photographic history of Saguaro National Parks founders, rangers, superintendents, and visitors, as well as classic cactus landscape. Her captions add much to the story. [ ]
- Santa Fe Indian Market: A History of Native Arts and the Marketplace
- By Bruce Bernstein. Museum of New Mexico Press. 151 pp. Index. $29.95.
- In 1952 the Santa Fe Indian Market was some 30 years old and by that time, the Native women began marketing their pottery waiting for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad as it pulled into the station. I didnt know it then when I briefly stepped off the Super Chief in Albuquerque and into another world. The women, in colorful Native dress, held small pieces of pottery in hand to sell to the tourists. This innocent from Canada was enthralled. Now, having read the above history of the Santa Fe Indian Market I can see that by 1952 many changes had taken place in promoting the arts by archaeologist Edward Hewett then Director of the Museum of New Mexico. People began to take notice and attend the yearly market in August. It wasnt long before the crowds multiplied at what is now considered the premiere marketplace for Native art. The latest count for attendance was 100,000. Author Bernstein notes that For some, Indian Market begins as a quiet whisper; for others, as a beautiful full-throated song. A fine read that traces the evolution and acceptance of the creativity of our indigenous people. [ ]
- Santa Rita del Cobre: A Copper Mining Community in New Mexico
- By Christopher Huggard, Terrence M. Humble. University Press of Colorado. 252 pp. Index. $45.00.
- The legendary stone monument , the Kneeling Nun, will forever look down at a 1500-foot deep pit stretching one-and-a- half miles having given up millions of pounds of copper over 200 years. The village of Santa Rita once covered the pit but gradually disappeared when open pit mining was introduced. Thanks to Terry Humble, who grew up in the copper camp and later worked at the site, thousands of company records and photographs were saved. The mine closed down in 2007, but the rare pictures and maps in this volume are the only things left to record a detailed history of the town and mining into the 21st century. Thanks to Professor Christopher Huggard, a specialist in mining history, who brought the town back to life. [ ]
- Search for the Navajo Code Talkers
- By Sally McClain. Rio Nuevo. 127 pp. Index. $12.95.
- Sally McClains curiosity was aroused when she read a newspaper article about Navajo Marines. What on earth did the Navajo Marines do in the South Pacific in World War II? She writes about her personal journey to find answers and this small book records her personal interviews between 1988 and 1994 and subsequent friendship with many of the code talkers, including Carl Gorman and his wife Mary. Now in 2012, many have passed and McClain has reminisced about the gentle honorable souls who told about their lives and service in the United States Marine Corps. Readers need to know that Sallys McClain was the first person to write about the code talkers and how they created their code in her 1994 book, Navajo Weapon, a scholarly and detailed account of the war in the Pacific where she uncovered the Code Talkers' secret language. That book was first published in 1994 by Books Beyond Borders and again in 2001 by Rio Nuevo Publishers. [ ]
- Shadow Catcher, The: A U.S. Agent Infiltrates Mexico's Deadly Crime Cartels
- By Hipolito Acosta, Lisa Pulitzer. Atria Books. 255 pp. $24.99.
- Special agent Acosta of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, who frequently worked undercover for long periods, had a long career of investigating and imprisoning smugglers, counterfeiters, and drug dealers in the U.S. and Mexico. The book reads like a crime novel, but is all the more effective because its factual. The reader is left with horror at the viciousness of these criminals, wonder at the resilience of the migrants who sacrifice all in hopes of a better life, and awe for people like Acosta, himself a Hispanic Texan, who put themselves at risk in order to bring these crooks to justice. Clearly and simply written, this book rings true. [ ]
- Shadows on the Mesa: Artists of the Painted Desert and Beyond
- By Gary Fillmore. Schiffer Publishing Ltd.. Index. $69.99.
- Dont open this book if you have a bus to catch, for youll be late. It is an enthralling and sumptuous look at the art of artists who stayed at a remote red-rock lodge run by the Wetherills on the Colorado Plateau between 1909 and 1943. The names paint a whos who of Southwestern art: Maynard Dixon, James Swinnerton, William Robinson Leigh, Carl Oscar Borg, Mary-Russell Ferrell Colton, Marjorie Thomas, Gunnar Widforss, Buck Weaver, Adee Dodge, and dozens more. Not only are the copious paintings and drawings splendidly reproduced, they are accompanied by wonderful stories and anecdotes about the artists and their Navajo and Hopi subjects. It is a grand tour for any reader. [ ]
- One can get lost in this stunning volume and imagine being at the John and Louisa Wetherills dinner table in their Kayenta Trading Post and guest ranch any time between 1906 and 1943. Ones dinner companions could be Zane Grey, Oliver LaFarge, Maynard Dixon, Director, John Huston, Theodore Roosevelt, Ernie Pyle, Barry Goldwater and many, many more. The huge treat is to learn about the visitors and then be transported into the southwest for hours of enjoyment of spectacular views rendered by the artists. Many of the artists were also cartoonists and George Herrimans Krazy Kat is here as well as James Swinnertons delightful Canyon Kiddies. This book is special.
[ ]
- Sixty Miles of Border: An American Lawman Battles Drugs on the Mexican Border
- By Terry Kirkpatrick. Berkley Books. 327 pp. $15.00.
- Sometimes a photograph says it all. In this case, the author poses with a fellow customs agent at the back of their vehicle, each hoisting an automatic weapon in one hand and a cold beer in the other. In his profanity laced and adrenaline fueled memoir, Kirkpatrick recounts two decades of harrowing experiences in border law enforcement, while paying tribute to the "crazy, dedicated characters" who stood shoulder-to-shoulder with him in the field. Kirkpatrick may not be the most polished writer, or even the most sympathetic character, but his unvarnished account of the chaotic world of drug kingpins, bureaucratic incompetents, and freewheeling lawmen has the ring of truth - and its more than a little scary. [ ]
- Skirting Traditions: Arizona Women Writers and Journalists 1912-2012
- By Carol Hughes, ed, Lois McFarland, ed, June Payne, ed, Sheila Roe, ed, Pam Stevenson, ed, Brenda Warneka, ed. Wheatmark. 298 pp. Index. $22.95.
- The twenty-eight unique women on this list all broke with traditional expectations because they wanted to work at writing not so easy in the early days. Most came to Arizona from somewhere else and put their diverse skills to work, often at a disadvantage in the so-called mans world" of journalism. It was not long before Arizona Press Women, Inc. was founded, and the authors of this anthology are award-winning members of that organization. It is fitting that these women were honored during Arizonas Centennial celebration. [ ]
- Southeastern Arizona Mining Towns
- By William Ascarza. Arcadia Publishing. 126 pp. $21.99.
- As with all the volumes in the Images of America series from Arcadia Publishing, this tightly-focused volume provides a visual survey of its topic by means of reproducing more than 200 photos with lengthy captions. Each of the six chapters has a short introductory essay setting the scene for these photo galleries with such titles as 'Small Mining Towns and Localities' and 'The Process.' Although not located in Arizona a separate chapter covers that just-south-of-the-border mining town, Cananea. [ ]
- This book is divided into sections: early mining, large mining districts, small mining districts, Cananea (MX), the process and the product. It has a bibliography, two maps showing the districts, and hundreds of black and white photos, but no index. Reading it is like visiting a photography exhibit with didactics. While each chapter has a one-page introduction, the bulk of the text is dedicated to explaining the photographs. This handbook provides a general overview but would not be useful as a guidebook or research tool for specific mines. [ ]
- Southwest Reflections: Grand Canyon and The Four Corners
- By Steve Larese. Schiffer. 144 pp. $29.99.
- More than 200 bright, color photographs of scenes throughout our region make this a perfect gift for that relative back in the wintry Midwest dreaming about a winter vacation to warmer climes! [ ]
- This is a stunning collection of colored photographs of glorious vistas within a few hundred miles of the Four Corners area. The only text is a one-page introduction opposite a print of The Navajo Beauty Way Ceremony, and the brief captions accompanying each photograph. A list of sources for tourist information is given at the back. A map of the area would have been helpful. This is an inspirational book for browsing, encouraging travel, or reminiscing about places previously visited, but it wouldnt serve as a travel guide. [ ]
- Spanish Colonial Settlement Landscapes of New Mexico, 1598-1680, The
- By Elinore Barrett. University of new Mexico Press. 280 pp. Index. $49.95.
- Tackling a very difficult task, Barrett synthesizes limited historical and archaeological data to create landscapes," or collective pictures, of topics related to the early years of Spanish occupancy of the region. Aimed at academic professionals, her categories begin broadly with such chapters as 'The Pueblo Landscape' then move to specific geographic areas such as 'The Villa of Santa Fe', 'The Santo Domingo Basin' and 'The Southern Rio Grande Region.' Not intended as easy reading, this is a volume for serious research collections, both personal and institutional. [ ]
- State Out of the Union: Arizona and the Final Showdown Over the American Dream
- By Jeff Biggers. Nation Books. 277 pp. Index. $25.99.
- This is a very readable account of Arizonas leadership and the hot-button issuesincluding immigration and the ban on State funding for Ethnic Studies in Tucsonthat have put the state in the national spotlight. Demonstrating that controversy is not new to Arizona, Biggers also recounts historic episodes of political showdowns and confrontations dating back decades that will intrigue students of history and politics alike.

- Superstition Wilderness Trails West: Hikes, Horse Rides and History
- By Jack Carlson, Elizabeth Stewart. Clear Creek Publishing. 416 pp. Index. $16.95.
- Wilderness seekers, even those who ride horses, will find this remarkable book a backpack/saddlebag necessity. It provides info on more than 80 possible trails with topo sheet excerpts for guidance. For many of the trails it has a history and legends section, and there is an index as well as a reading list. This book updates the Carlson and Stewart guide of more than 15 years ago which covered the entire Superstition area, and an upgraded guide for the eastern portion is promised! [ ]
- Wizened prospectors, dry washes in flood, treasure maps, frontier history, and hiking instructions combine to make this a must-own book about the Superstition Mountains east of Phoenix, Arizona. The accounts are exciting and the trails inviting. It is the companion book to Superstition Wilderness Trails East, another splendid book. [ ]

The Kahoona+ delivers the perfect mix of freeride performance for every riding style and every skill level. If you want the convenience of one pump inflation with easy handling, solid performance and day long comfort, then the Kahoona+ V5 is the ultimate freeride kite. Automatic relaunch, reliable downwind drift and rock solid stability make the Kahoona ideal for attacking any wave or new trick. Huge hang-time and great low end power, it's no wonder that riders return to it season after season. With more responsive handling, reduced bar pressure and best in class stability, courtesy of revised canopy design and Best's new Double Core RS canopy fabric, the V5 is the most advanced Kahoona yet.
The Kahoona is nice and brightly coloured, the way our sport should be represented; bold and proud. The V5 is well constructed with the double ripstop canopy fabric feels sturdy and solid, reinforced further with the heavy-duty dacron trailing edge. The one pump system is very easy to use and the struts clip off nicely. The bar has seen an upgrade in materials, leaving a very comfortable yet grippy feel indeed. New is the lovely push-away quick-release above the chicken-loop which is also very easy to reset once you've got the knack and the suicide/safety ring features, too. Big bar ends are lovely for your hands if you end up grabbing the end of the bar during a pass or a loop and there's nothing to get caught up on anywhere. It really feels great in your hands.
The Kahoona+ V5 is a delta four strut design with a big open section in the middle of the canopy and the first thing you notice is that great drive that the kite has when parked and driving forward, creating lots of power through sheeting at the bar. Very little steering work is needed after the initial dive; just park it at 45 and you're free to cruise. There's huge amounts of depower through sheeting out and you don't have to sheet out for miles either, ruining your back when the wind picks up. The Kahoona riding position is fairly upright, which we like in a kite like this with this much power on tap.
The pull-pull depower strap is the same as last year, working nicely in the stainless steel buckles. The power up and depower tabs are clearly coloured and the depower tab is nice and easy to reach. It's also really long when you've pulled a lot of depower and sits on top of the bar, which is the only slight annoyance with this system. One thing that we'd recommend doing is loosening off the Velcro loop that keeps it secured to the chicken-loop line to stop it flapping. Just make the loop as big as you can and it will pass nicely over the top of the diamond stopper without affecting it. The stopper works really well and is a joy in light winds for resting the bar on when you're trying to get back upwind and don't want to be sheeting in and out on the bar all the time. Set it, get your edge in and off you go. There are three knots on the back pigtail line and we used the middle option, which balanced the kite out nicely.
The smooth non-whippy turn on the Kahoona+ produced a really good, steady boost and long float. In lighter winds the loft in the kite is really easy to access and produces satisfying hang-time; for transitions etc. it's ideal, giving you plenty of time to work things out. When the wind gets up the Kahoona goes huge and far. It's rock steady above your head as well and will happily sit there with that huge central section creating lots and lots of lifty float. We also found that you can turn the kite without much power. On loops however it really drives powerfully through the bottom section as it comes out of the turn. As a beginner/intermediate and even as a wave rider, it means you can move the kite around and not get hauled around and then feel the drive once you've got the kite set. You're not ripped off the water when you jump but are transported carefully and then not caught out redirecting the kite too early or too late and getting punished, which is just what the first time booster wants. The Kahoona does flap through big loops though, but this isn't unexpected in this sort of kite. This is the limit in terms of its high performance, but the Kahoona is happy enough unhooked for throwing a few bits and pieces and feels nice out of the loop, low down in the window when set on the middle or bottom rear line knot. The top knot sees it stall too much with too much tension on the back line. Of course, as ever, relaunch is a piece of cake by just a single line pull and over and up she goes.
The Kahoona+ V5 is a well-built, very user-friendly and versatile kite that will hold its own in lots of situations. For a bit of everything, there's not much this kite won't do. The low end is very good and you might find yourself switching down a size sooner than you think. As Best's more entry level kite, it's got pedigree.
Super stable over head piloting during jumps is very good.
The depower trimming line is a bit long.

The main focus is of course wombats. Over 30 years ago, Roz and Kev Holme recognized the plight of the bare nosed wombat. The loss of habitat, road hazards, and debilitating sarcoptic mange have all contributed to the steady decline of the Common or Bare nosed Wombat (Vombatus ursinus). Cedar Creek Wombat Rescue and Wildlife Refuge is dedicated to rescuing not just orphaned joey wombats but also sub-adults and adults that are in need of medical care whether it be from accident, injury or mange. Along with wombats, we care for many species native animals with the focus being on animals that are in need of more than routine care to get them to the point of release. Roz, who was born and bred into wildlife and is also a trained vet nurse, takes on animals with illness or injuries that may have otherwise been euthanized.

Michael Fordham was appointed as a Recorder (Civil) in the autumn of 2010. He is a QC, and continues to practise at Blackstone Chambers specialising in judicial review, human rights and immigration/asylum.
Recorders may sit in both Crown and County Courts, but most start by sitting in the Crown Court. Their jurisdiction is broadly similar to that of a circuit judge, but they will generally handle less complex or serious matters coming before the court. Recorders are expected to sit for at least 15 days a year but not normally for more than 30 days a year. Recordership is often the first step on the judicial ladder to appointment to the circuit bench."For me, becoming a judge is more about vocation than ambition. It is a new way in which to contribute to the law. If you think a full-time judicial post might be for you, the fee-paid Recorder option is a great way to sit part-time to see if it is right for you and you for it. If you are contemplating what could some day be a turn down a big one-way street for your career, it is good if you can get out for a stroll to see what it is like down there.
I went to a state grammar school in Lincolnshire, but got a big break to get into Oxford and, thanks to Gray's Inn scholarship money, was able to go to the Bar. Now after 20 years - four years of interlocutory banking, and the rest in judicial review and human rights - I have also become a Recorder and will start sitting in June.
In terms of experience which I feel prepared me for the role, I've frequently found myself on steep learning curves and trying to look at other people's sectoral niches of law as an outsider. That helps with counteracting the fear of adjudicating on something new and unknown. Balancing a conscientious desire for thoroughness with the need to try and analyse papers at top speed is also an everyday preparation for this new role. The ideas in the back of your mind, that law is bigger than lawyers, and that the law has a heart as well as a head, also helps.
The JAC selection process is extremely well-intentioned. It is borne out of ideas of fairness and transparency. It takes out the 'who you know'. I did feel I had to sell myself for a judicial job and found the process rigidly criterion-led. It nearly squeezed the vocational life out of me. I got rejected, twice, for Criminal Recorder, but what kept me going was the idea that I was applying to do a job in which I really felt I had something to offer.
To prepare for the selection process, I bought lots of books on general practice, and did not get time to read any of them. But I made sure I had some clear time before the test and selection days. I also put in quite a lot of time doing the application form because the JAC want detailed illustration and the form needs careful thought.
I feel future candidates should go for it and not give up if you think you have the skills. If you find a 'hard-sell' of yourself rather uncomfortable that is good. In my mind you are precisely what the system really needs."

|The real benefit of any workshop, I think, is the opportunity to be
among people (pro, semi-pro, raw beginner, whatever) who take
seriously the things that are important to you as a writer. If you
spend ten minutes late one night after too many margaritas
expounding on how the impact of a peer's paragraph turns on /one
word/, everyone may think that you're drunk, but no one will think
that you're talking about something that doesn't matter.
Resident workshops (the various Clarions, VP and others) give you time to take yourself seriously as a writer. The other stuff–the teachers, the actual work done–is important, but it's that sense of being away from your normal life and privileged to really focus on writing, that is paramount.
