Eerie Sounds Reviews : Tiffany Apan & Chuck Owston – "Greensleeves" SINGLE (2010)
Label : Poets Labyrinth Productions
Review by Tony Cannella
Even though Christmas just passed, it is never too late for some quality holiday music. That brings us to the new single by Pennsylvania based singer/songwriter Tiffany Apan in collaboration with Chuck Owston as they present their version of the 16th century English Folk classic "Greensleeves". I have to admit that I have always loved this song and found it deeply moving; it always seems to lend itself well to a rock setting or classical backdrop. The version that Tiffany Apan and Chuck Owston has presented us with is a more traditional, mournful rendition of the song. Right off-the-bat, Tiffany Apan has a phenomenal classically trained voice as she is accompanied by Chuck Owston on mandolins. "Greensleeves" is a perfect treat for the holiday season, but it is not just Christmas music.This is a timeless classic that Tiffany Apan and Chuck Owston has injected their heart and soul into and should be enjoyed year 'round.

Eerie Sounds Section : Tiffany Apan – "Poet" (2008)
Label : Shinto Records
Review by Mortuai
Try as I might to be impartial, I find myself slightly biased about "Poet", the debut release from Pennsylvania native Tiffany Apan. On the one hand, I'm still a bit miffed about the fact Tiffany was supposed to be one of the participants on the "Ferocity and Feminitity" compilation but never got around to sending her contribution. On the other hand, those familiar with my tastes (or lack thereof) know full well I am a self-confessed fan of the bizarre in motion pictures, and due to this, her role in Troma Films' "Meat For Satan's Icebox" (no, seriously, that's the name of the film) definitely qualifies her to catch a break or two from me, so it all evens out and I'm back to where I should have started in the first place. While it may be a bit of a stretch to call the model/actress/singer's album a metal release, it certainly is an interesting, if somewhat uneven, listen. Apan's modeling career seems to focus on gothic imagery, and that particular imagery carries over very well into her music, her smooth, melancholic, semi-operatic vocals blending effectively with the everything-else-in-the-band instrumental work of her co-writer Jason English. Vocally, Tiffany reminds me a bit of Sarah Brightman, a touch of Lana Lane and perhaps just a tiny hint of Stefanie Duchêne, though at no point does she sound like a clone of anyone else. Musically, atmosphere is the name of the game here and "Poet" positively drips with it, plenty of stylistic variety on display but every track conjuring up dark soundscapes which are at times classically beautiful and at other moments disturbingly discordant…sometimes both within the course of the same song. Cuts like piano-driven opener "Ghost" (which works much better than the guitar-soaked remix version of the same track included a bit later in the disc), the meditative "Destiny's Path" and the effects-and-dark riff-laden "Ashes to Dust" are excellent songs but other tracks like the lurching, Middle-Eastern-meets-Celtic "Black Forest" don't seem to trigger much more in the listener than confusion. Oddly enough, my two favorite tracks on the album are the two cover tunes – one a superb dark-tinged version of traditional folk tune "Scarborough Fair" (made most famous, of course, by Simon and Garfunkel) and the other a heavily Patsy Cline-influenced tune originally performed by Apan's grandparents in the late 50′s and early 60′s, a track which may seem to the casual listener to be very much out of place in a hard rock release yet somehow fits in here almost perfectly. "Poet" is not for everyone – listeners who may be looking for something a bit more aggressive and metallic or something a bit more commercially viable will doubtless be somewhat disappointed by the generally slow pace and often experimental nature of the music. Fans of gothic rock who appreciate moody melodic vocals should definitely snap this one up though, as it is highly enjoyable for those who have enough of an open mind to appreciate what it has to offer..

Boston Celtics Bench Makes Improvements in Victory Over Nets
The Boston Celtics had arguably their best win of the season today, defeating the Brooklyn Nets on the road 93-76 behind a dominant performance from the bench. Jeff Green and Jared Sullinger both came to play today and were the main reasons why the Celtics looked so good away from the Boston Garden. This was their most complete win to date and this was exactly what GM Danny Ainge was looking for when he constructed the bench unit over the summer.
The main guys getting minutes today were Sullinger, Green, Courtney Lee, and Brandon Bass. With Jason Collins now in the first unit, this is the rotation you will most likely see from here on out. Jason Terry will most likely join in once Avery Bradley returns from his shoulder injury sometime in the beginning of January.
If the Celtics can get consistent performances out of these guys, then they suddenly look a lot more dangerous in the Eastern Conference. Besides the Miami Heat, the conference is really wide open and the Celtics have the ability to make progress as the season moves on. The bench in the preseason was considered the team's strength, but up until now, they had done nothing to validate that belief. Lee has struggled for the whole season and Bass and Green have been very inconsistent. Sullinger has been a bright spot, especially based on where he was drafted in this past summer's NBA Draft.
If the Celtics can get improvements from their second unit, the team will no doubt see its record improve as the season continues on.

Federal officials announced Saturday afternoon they had arrested Hamilton County Sheriff Billy Long for bribery, money laundering and providing a gun to a felon.
Russ Deaderick, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee, said Sheriff Long accepted a number of cash bribes over a lengthy period.
The sheriff was taken into custody Saturday morning by the FBI. He was brought in to the courtroom in handcuffs before Federal Magistrate Bill Carter at 3 p.m.
Magistrate Carter ordered him detained until a detention hearing on Monday at 2 p.m. after prosecutor Gary Humble called him "a danger to the community." He said the sheriff could face more charges. He apparently will be held at an outlying jail.
Sheriff Long, who looked dazed and had his head bowed during his brief court appearance, was told he could face up to 20 years in prison for bribery and money laundering and up to 10 years in prison on the gun charge. He also could face a fine up to $250,000 on the Hobbs Act charges.
Sheriff Long said he will secure an attorney by the Monday afternoon hearing.
Federal Bureau of Investigation Special Agent in Charge Richard Lambert said the sheriff took 12 payments totaling $17,400 between April 3 and Dec. 14 of last year that he was told were for protection of video poker operations for Indian store owners.
He said the sheriff also received five cash payments totaling $6,550 from Dec. 3 to Jan. 24 of this year that was supposed to be to protect $625,000 in illegal drugs.
The FBI recorded and videoed numerous encounters the sheriff had with a confidential informant and was filmed taking numerous payoffs, officials said.
Mr. Deaderick said the investigation is ongoing and there may be additional charges filed.
County Commissioner Curtis Adams said, "I couldn't be more disappointed and heart-broken. Dot and I sort of adopted him. I've never known anybody that I learned to like so much in such a short time. It's hard to believe he would do something like this."
Commissioner Adams said, "He has done some good things, and the County Commission has been solidly behind him. We've given him everything he asked for, including the funding for the SROs. And he's been good to attend our commission meetings."
If Sheriff Long steps down, it will be up to the County Commission to name a temporary successor.
The election for a new sheriff would be in August. Since the primary has already passed, the political parties would need to caucus to choose nominees.
Allen Branum, former police chief in Soddy-Daisy who is the chief deputy to Sheriff Long, said the office will continue on with "aggressive law enforcement."
He said he believes no others in the sheriff's office are involved.
Chief Deputy Branum, who broke down at one point while he was being interviewed, called it "the worst day I can remember in my law enforcement career."
Chief Branum said, "I'm as surprised as anybody. If Sheriff Long is guilty of these charges, I am very disappointed."
He added, "This absolutely devastates a lot of people and I'm one of them."
He was meeting with personnel in the sheriff's office on Saturday afternoon.
County Mayor Claude Ramsey said he was "saddened and disappointed" when he was notified by FBI officials of the arrest early Saturday.
He called it "a sad day for Hamilton County. It's a sad day to be a public official in Hamilton County."
Mr. Deaderick said, "Law enforcement corruption cannot be tolerated and must be dealt with quickly and professionally. Local, state and federal agencies must work together and rely on each other to protect our citizens and to insure a safe environment. The Hamilton County Sheriff's Department, its deputies and staff, have worked effectively to support these ideals in the past and I am sure will do so in the future."
Agt. Lambert said, "More than any other crime, it is public corruptions that tears most at the fabric of democracy. When the desire to make money overshadows the duty to serve, not only is the fidelity of government threatened, but our very way of life is jeopardized. It is for those reasons that public corruption is the FBI's top criminal investigative priority."
Sheriff Long, a Democrat, had a 31-year career in the sheriff's office before winning an upset victory over veteran Sheriff John Cupp in 2006.
In an affidavit, FBI Agt. James Melia said on March 20, 2007, he was with a cooperating witness when the CW received a call from Sheriff Long.
He said the call "led to a series of events beginning with a trip by the CW and Sheriff Long to shake down the owner of a store, an ethnic east Indian, and coerce him to make good on what the sheriff claimed was a promised campaign contribution from this individual and other ethnic Indian store owners. Thereafter, the FBI was able to introduce two undercover agents posing as representatives of the store owners interested in obtaining the sheriff's protection."
It says after the 12 payments from the store owners, "the FBI introduced the sheriff to what he believed was a drug trafficking and money laundering operation" and there were five cash payments involved in that.
The affidavit says the Indian store owners had pledged $50,000 to support the Long campaign in 2006 "but had fallen far short of their pledge, in fact contributing only $12,000."
The CW said he and Sheriff Long planned to visit a specific Indian store owner "who supported Long in his campaign for sheriff. Upon visiting the store owner, they planned to threaten him with official action by members of the Hamilton County Sheriff's Department whom Long controlled if the store owners did not resolve their debt with Long."
In a recorded phone call, Sheriff Long "confirmed that the Indian store owners owed him approximately $38,000, that he was aware the store owner was 'selling s---' that's wrong,' and he would 'go down there and straighten his a-- out.'"
On April 3, the CW and the sheriff rode together in Sheriff Long's official vehicle to the store at 4510 Rossville Blvd. The sheriff, CW and store owner met in a back room where the owner was told "he and the other Indian store owners were responsible for paying the remainder of the $50,000 debt owed to Sheriff Long."
The affidavit says Sheriff Long "threatened the store owner by saying, 'We're going to have to shut it down' and 'if we go after one store we'll go after all of them.' Finally Long told the store owner that 'From here on out there will be action taken to make you understand.'"
At the close of the meeting, the CW asked the store owner to give Sheriff Long $200 to appease him. The meeting then moved to the sheriff's car. The owner offered $100, but the sheriff instructed him to give it to the CW. The CW then "asked the store owner to give the sheriff another $100 to calm him down, which he did."
After the owner left, the sheriff told the CW to keep all the money, saying he knew he was having financial hardships.
The affidavit says Sheriff Long continued to pressure the CW to pressure the store owner "to cause him and other store owners to pay the campaign debt."
The CW and Sheriff Long met April 16 at a business operated by the CW. The CW said he had money for the sheriff from the store owner. Sheriff Long asked that they move away from a window so he could not be seen. The CW gave Sheriff Long $1,000 during this meeting.
The affidavit says Sheriff Long told the CW "to keep the pressure on the store owner to provide more money to Sheriff Long and to tell him, 'I don't know how much longer I can hold the sheriff back.'"
It says the sheriff knew the store owner was involved in illegal activity, saying, "We know we can get him for certain things. We know all that meth s--- and all that stuff. We know all that."
The affidavit says the sheriff told the CW "to make sure the store owner knew the sheriff could close his store down for 30 days including Memorial Day, costing the store owner to lose a large amount of money."
Sheriff Long also directed the CW to contact "a person Long believed to the the leader of all Indian stores in the area and to arrange a meeting. Since Long had never met this supposed 'leader' and had little information about him, the FBI developed an undercover sting operation wherein undercover FBI agents would pose as nephews of the 'leader'."
On April 26, undercover FBI agents met with Sheriff Long at the CW at the India Mahal restaurant at 5970 Brainerd Road. At the meeting, Sheriff Long "granted permission for Indian stores to operate illegal gambling machines, as long as the machines were kept in back rooms. He also granted permission for the stores to engage in other lucrative money making activity, including selling ingredients used for the manufacture of methamphetamine. Long stressed to the undercover agents that it was important to conceal the illegal activities, and that when possible, Long would attempt to warn the store operators when he became aware that other law enforcement agencies were focusing on these illegal activities. Long further informed the undercover agents that he was aware of many of the businesses operated by Indians in Chattanooga and that he expected to be paid a part of the earnings generated by all of the businesses."
The agents offered to give the sheriff cash, but he said all money should be paid to the CW.
The affidavit says following the meeting Sheriff Long directed the CW to tell the Indians "they would have to pay $100,000 per quarter for his protection."
It says on May 3 Long said by phone to again to tell the nephews he wanted $100,000 per quarter, and he said he was concerned that the "nephews" were actually FBI undercover agents.
FBI Agts. James Melia and Scott Barker met with Sheriff Long on June 24 under the guise of updating his FBI security clearance.
They said they asked him numerous questions "to which he gave false and misleading answers."
On July 2, the sheriff and the CW met at the CW's business. Long said he wanted to continue with the plan to take money from the Indian store operators. He said all money should go to the CW, and then the CW could make it appear he was loaning money to him (Long).
Sheriff Long said, "I can't take no money from them personally you know, because I'm afraid they're going to be feds. They'll have me and you both in jail."
On Aug. 31, the CW said he had been getting money from the Indian store operators. He handed $3,500 to Sheriff Long, who returned $500 and kept the rest.
The 12 payments were $1,000, $3,500, $2,000, $2,000, $1,900, and seven for $1,000 each.
On Nov. 16, "at the behest of the FBI, the CW informed Long that the CW had been approached by the head of a Mexican drug trafficking operation about using a business operated by the CW as a means of shipping money generated by the sale of illegal narcotics to Mexico."
The sheriff was told the money would be hidden in cremation urns and shipped to Mexico. Sheriff Long agreed to go along with the scheme and asked to split the money with the CW. During this meeting, the CW gave the sheriff $1,000 that he was told came from the "nephews".
Sheriff Long drove from the meeting in a red Chevrolet Trailblazer registered to the sheriff.
On Nov. 23, the CW suggested he might be "hauling a--" with some drug money and requested he be made an "auxiliary" or "reserve" deputy sheriff. Sheriff Long offered to supply him with a badge. Sheriff Long drove from this meeting in a red SUV - his personal vehicle.
On Nov. 26, there was again discussion about the need for a badge in case the CW was stopped on Sand Mountain. Sheriff Long said, "I'll get you a badge."
On Nov. 29, Sheriff Long presented the CW "with a brand new Hamilton County Sheriff's Department patrolman's badge." At the same time, the CW showed the sheriff supplies to be used to send the illegal drug proceeds to Mexico. Sheriff Long warned the CW to "watch your back."
The CW informed Sheriff Long on Dec. 3 he had sent $25,000 in drug proceeds to Mexico. He gave the sheriff $550 - approximately half of the fee he claimed he charged the drug organization.
On Dec. 7, Sheriff Long and the CW met at the business operated by the CW. It was recorded on a video system installed by the FBI. The CW displayed a box which he told the sheriff contained $50,000 provided to him by the drug organization. Sheriff Long helped the CW open the box and observed several packages wrapped in Mexican newspapers. The CW opened several of the packages in the sheriff's presence and displayed a large amount of cash. The FBI had provided the $50,000 in cash. The CW told the sheriff he could expect to be paid the next week.
Sheriff Long was paid $1,000 by the CW at a meeting at the CW's business on Dec. 14. At this meeting, the sheriff was told the Indians were complaining they had not been tipped off about a raid. Sheriff Long said he did not believe the raid involved their businesses and "if he needs to be tipped, we'll tip him."
Also, on Dec. 14, the CW opened a box and displayed $100,000 in cash that the FBI had supplied. The CW told Sheriff Long, "This is easily going to be a half million dollars every week." Sheriff Long responded, "Well, come on with it, you know what I mean."
The CW said he felt uncomfortable keeping the money in the business as he did not have any protection. Sheriff Long promised to obtain something "unmarked" to the CW. Sheriff Long went from this meeting in his official vehicle, a gray Ford Explorer, to his home at 2504 Cedarton Court.
On Dec. 20, the sheriff and the CW again met at the CW's business, and the sheriff took a $2,000 payment. Sheriff Long presented the CW with a loaded .32-caliber Industria National De Armes revolver. The CW made several references to the fact he had a felony conviction and was not supposed to be carrying guns. Sheriff Long "instructed the CW never to disclose from whom the CW obtained the gun, and that if the CW shot someone, the CW should get rid of the gun."
It was found the gun was made in Brazil and shipped to Elliot Sales in Rome, Ga., in 1968.
The CW phoned Sheriff Long on Jan. 18 in New Orleans where he was attending a conference and said he had a $1,000 payment awaiting him when he returned.Sheriff Long said he would be back Saturday and would get with him to get the payment.
Sheriff Long and the CW met at the CW's business on Jan. 20, and the sheriff was given the $1,000 payment. During the meeting, Sheriff Long expressed his opinion that "feds" were involved in previous dealings with the Indians. Sheriff Long stated, "And I hate feds any d--- way."
The FBI arranged a "drug show" for Sheriff Long on Jan. 24. He went to the CW's business and was paid $2,000. The CW then opened a 10-kilogram package of cocaine that the FBI had obtained from Miami.
The CW told the sheriff he had not been expecting the drug shipment and had called the leader of the drug organization (Chico) to find out what was happening. He told the sheriff that Chico advised him to place the 10 kilograms of cocaine in a box and, after dark, place the box next to a dumpster outside of the CW's business. A runner would be sent to retrieve the package.
Sheriff Long expressed his concern that someone else might take the package, and that he hoped the right person got the package.
Sheriff Long agreed to accept $20,000 for the cocaine shipment.

Vila Otter is a lovely modern and spacious 3 bedroom home in Arco da Calheta with stunning views to the sea and countryside. One can even have the joy of seeing hand gliders swooping around from the launch pad nearby. The house has been furnished and fitted to a modern high standard without missing any comforts. There is broadband internet wireless connections for your convenience and satellite television with the usual selection of programmes in most languages.
The house has 2 double bedrooms and a twin bedroom, fully fitted kitchen, 3 bathrooms, lovely lounge/dining area with double bed settee, opening up onto the terrace which overlooks the private pool with table and chairs for outside dining surrounded by gardens and BBQ area.
Calheta beach is just a 10 min drive away with its sandy beach and marina and a good choice if bars and restaurants, to relax and unwind.
This very modern semi-detached villa (House) is located in a rural area above the small village of Arco da Cahleta, on the side of a mountain offerring stunning views of the surrounding countryside and picturesque bay.
A car is recommended if you intend to tour the island, although from the villa location some of the roads are quite steep so would recommend an experienced driver is needed to negotiate some of the routes.
There is however a taxi service operating close to the village (Number available from Paulino's cafe in the village) which cost us around 15 Euro's from the villa to the sea front, marina and beach in Cahleta.
There is a supermarket and restaurants in Cahleta, with whale and dolphin sightseeing trips at around 35 Euro's per person, and a trip into the bustling city of Funchal is good day out in contrast to the quiet and peaceful rural location of the villa.
The villa was as the listing description states, very clean and modern with a lovely pool and barbaque area. The neigbours were very helpful and accommodating, as were the local's, with no intrusion making for a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday break.
We would certainly consider revisiting the lovely island of Madeira, and would recommend this accommodation to anyone who is seeking an 'away from it all' holiday, with options to engage in dinning out, walking and sight seeing if preferred.
Wir waren mit 4 Erwachsenen Gäste dieses schönen Feriendoppelhauses. Die Beschreibungen der Eigentümerin trafen voll zu, ein gepflegtes Objekt mit herzlichen dienstbaren "Geistern", ein wenig hellhörig, doch man ist ja nicht ständig am Haus. Gern empfehle ich es weiter für Urlauber, die Beschaulichkeit, Ruhe und Natur mögen, gern grillen, im Pool schwimmen möchten. Höhenwanderwege waren in unmittelbarer Nähe. Umliegende Restaurants ( Infos liegen im Haus bereit) können wir uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Gute Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in Calheta sind vorhanden. Unbedingt empfehlen würden wir ein PS starkes Auto, da der Weg zum Haus abenteuerliche Höhenunterschiede aufzeigt. Alles in allem ein schönes Objekt für nicht bewegungseingeschränkte Ü50 und Naturfreunde.
Arco da Calheta is a delightful area just above the popular town and marina of Calheta. It has breathtaking views of glorious countryside which is farmed mainly by hardworking individual families in the traditional ways. The views cover a great stretch of the coast line from Madalena do Mar right to Calheta. This lovely farming community has some most interesting fruit and vegetable shops stocking a wide variety of the locally grown produce. In Arco Calheta there is a little community around the church and the very popular Paulino's coffee and snack bar, post office and small shops. There is even a hardware store which stocks goods as though in an Aladin's Cave and a well stocked and friendly, helpful pharmacy where they speak excellent English. The cafe cum bar/restaurant nearest to Casa Otter is the popular Costa Verde which is familly run, the service and friendliness second to none. In the other direction is a levada walk to take away your breath with its all round beauty.

Media Release: Community Project OSV handover
Date: 2011-04-14
The vehicles are meant to assist previously disadvantaged communities to enter into the OSV business and are donated by VUSWA Fleet.
The project is part of the KNP's broader strategy of economic empowerment and social responsibility programmes which focuses on communities around the Park.
After selections, prospective tour guides were trained to become fully fledged guides in order to be able to conduct business in the park like any other private OSV operators. As a start, the tour guides will operate from three of the gates i.e. Phabeni, Kruger and Numbi during the park's normal gate operating times and SANParks will assist the project beneficiaries with marketing of this service.
VUSWA has made two more (on top of the four handed-over) vehicles available to the new OSV operators, should there be a need. This project could overtime extend to the other areas around the KNP if interested community members from other parts of the park have been identified.
Please view more images of this handover.

Mexico Becomes a Stable, Politically Diverse Neighbor
We Americans are lucky, though we seldom reflect on it, that we have good neighbors.
In East Asia, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and the Philippines face challenges from China over islands they have long claimed in the East China Sea.
In Europe, Germany and other prosperous nations face demands for subsidies from debt-ridden nations to avoid the collapse of the Euro.
When Southern Europeans look across the Mediterranean, they see Muslim nations facing post-Arab spring upheaval and disorder.
The United States has land borders with just two nations, Canada (on which more on another day) and Mexico, where Barack Obama is headed next month. They're both good neighbors. I realize that most of the recent news on Mexico has been about violent drug wars. You get 500,000 hits when you Google Mexico "failed state."
But that's a misleading picture. The war on drug lords waged by President Felipe Calderon from 2006 to 2012 has had considerable success and has been de-emphasized by his successor Enrique Pena Nieto.
The focus on the drug war ignores Mexico's progress over the last 25 years as an electoral democracy. For 71 years, it had one-party rule of the PRI (Party of the Institutional Revolution). Under PRI rule, a president selected by his predecessor selected his successor.
But under PRI Presidents Carlos Salinas (1988-94) and Ernest Zedillo (1994-2000), Mexico established a clean election system under which the opposition conservative PAN and leftist PRD parties won state and legislative offices.
This was capped when PAN candidate Vicente Fox was elected president in July 2000. When Zedillo came on television and said, "I recognize that Vicente Fox is the next president of Mexico," thousands of Fox supporters gathered around Mexico City's Angel of Independence and stomped so strongly in unison that the earth shook.
Fox and his PAN successor Calderon had some significant policy successes. But they were frustrated in getting changes in the energy sector, in which the state-owned monopoly Pemex has lagged behind, and in education, where teacher jobs are handed down from parent to child.
The reason is that since 2000, none of Mexico's three parties has had majorities in Congress. That's one result of genuine political competition, in which voters have imposed rotation in office in governorships and legislative seats.
But it also meant that the PAN presidents could not get reforms through Congress if they were opposed by the PRI and the PRD.
Things have been different since the 2012 presidential election. PRI candidate Enrique Pena Nieto seemed a depressingly conventional politician, who as governor of the state of Mexico (which surrounds central Mexico City) won publicity for dating a telenovela star.
Pena won the July election handily and on taking office in December called for major reforms. He issued a 34-page Pact for Mexico, which proposed greater competition for Pemex in the energy sector plus education and judicial reforms.
Remarkably, it was endorsed by PAN and PRD, as well as the PRI. Pemex has been a sacred cow in Mexico since the 1930s, when President Lazaro Cardenas seized foreign oil operations and created the state-owned monopoly.
The Pemex union was a pillar of the PRI establishment. Now a PRI president was proposing to reform it, and his move was endorsed by a PRI party convention in March.
Pena also acted on education. In February, Congress passed a law establishing a transparent system for teacher hiring and evaluation.
The next day, the government arrested the head of the teachers' union and charged her with spending $156 million of union funds on luxury goods.
And Pena has moved to deregulate telecommunications, which threatens the position of telecom billionaire Carlos Slim.
There is other heartening news from south of our border. Mexico's economy is moving ahead with 5 percent growth.
Since the NAFTA treaty went into effect in the 1990s, it seemed that Mexico's economy was tethered to ours, leaving it unable to close the gap with the United States. Now as our economy slogs along slowly, Mexico is moving toward catching up. It is, as former Foreign Minister Jorge Castaneda has proclaimed, a majority middle-class country now.
It is also a country from which, according to the Pew Hispanic Center, there has been no net migration to the United States since 2007.
All this vindicates our previous four presidents, who pressed for closer ties with Mexico. But most of the credit belongs to the leaders and people of Mexico. Good neighbors.

For a real estate agent we couldn't have asked for anything more; Sebastian was truly amazing. From searching for potential apartments that fit our specific criteria, to doing the footwork throughout multiple Brooklyn neighborhoods, to being there with us to sign the lease, he was there every step of the way.
He was considerate in taking into consideration what we wanted in terms of budget and apartment amenities. Sebastian knows how to take care of his clients.
In the end, after the whole apartment hunt, he helped us find a perfect place that we really enjoy living in, with a responsible landlord and superintendent. I would recommend Sebastian to any renters who want to cut out the hassle of the apartment search and make it fun! We can't imaging looking for a place to call home any other way.

Ratings & Reviews
I've recommended Sebastian Cardona to my professional contacts and personal friends for his services. He's been a great resource helping my contacts and me find what I needed and educated me in what I should be looking for when renting. He understood what budget I had and laid out many options to choose from. If there were questions he couldn't answer, he'd promptly follow up later with an answer.
PS- He enjoys his job and it shows it. He also likes to find and explore the great food spots where you are looking.
Sebastian is highly professional and a pleasure to work with. helped me sell my apartment in Astoria to the right buyer. He was always available to me and kept me motivated. I highly recommend him for any real estate services.
I could NOT have made it through this process, sanely, without him! All of my questions were answered...either right away or after Sebastian secured ALL of the necessary info. Great attitude and and so easy to work with!! When I told him I needed some more time to make my move he said he'd be there when I was ready...and I'm sure he will be!
I was planning my move into the city and Sebastian helped me find my apartment. He communicated with me in whichever mode was needed to give me details on my rental options. He was patient when I was indecisive and answered all my questions. Sebastian made my move an easy transition.

Daphne Guinness by Nick Knight For Haute Living | 2012
Daphne Guinness Stops Time in Haute Living Magazine
"Time is infinite, but we are not infinite in it," Daphne Guinness says in the new issue of Haute Living.
Guinness was thinking about time as she styled herself and worked with Nick Knight for a photo shoot in the issue. Incidentally, the images feature watches from Roger Dubuis's Velvet collection, and Guinness recently signed on as the brand's ambassador. In one of the photos, the eccentric style icon is seen swinging upside down from a trapeze.
Likewise, the accompanying interview is filled with Guinness's trademark wit. The ambassadorship seems to have caused her to think a little more philosophically about the passing of time. "In what time are we? Are we in space time?" she asks her interviewer before explaining that she's obsessed with time's precision. "The Julian calendar is off," she says.
"The idea of art and time is something that is perceived and Nick and I worked organically to show that you can do many things," she said later in the interview. "It's better to work with people with whom you know what you are going to get."
A look at the resulting images here in the gallery.

Some damn musicologist determined these to be the top 10 best concept albums of all time.
Here's a preview of a fabulous showcase taking place during the upcoming ASCAP "I Create Music" Expo in Hollywood, CA.
Nita Strauss and Courtney Cox show you how they play Iron Maiden's "The Trooper."
According to Blabbermouth.net, former Megadeth guitarist Marty Friedman has revealed via a Facebook post that he has signed on to write the theme song for a "major" new movie.
Probably because of their shared release date and the competitive history between the bands, a lot of the negative comments on Lulu stories around here featured some variation on the theme, "I'm just going to buy Megadeth's new album instead."
Thrash titans Megadeth have just released a new music video for their song "Public Enemy No. 1." Scroll down to watch the video in full.
In true Halloween spirit, Megadeth too the stage last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in full costume, treating fans to renditions of "Public Enemy No. 1" and "Symphony Of Destruction." You can check out video from the performance below.
If you think Lou Reed was completely unaware of the backlash from Metallica fans surrounding their upcoming collaboration, Lulu, think again.
This year marks 25 years since the release of one of the great thrash albums of all time, Slayer's Raining Blood. In honor of the album's 25th anniversary, Down vocalist Phil Anselmo recently shared some thoughts on the album.
Last night, Metallica took the stage in front of over 30,000 fans for their first-ever concert in India. You can check out footage from the concert below.
Guitar World made history in Milan, Italy, on July 6, 2011, by getting Metallica's James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett, Megadeth's Dave Mustaine, Slayer's Kerry King and Anthrax's Scott Ian to pose for group photos — the first photos ever to feature all the guitarists of thrash metal's momentous Big Four tour.
If Lulu isn't your cup of tea, a new, proper Metallica album may not be far off, at least according to Robert Trujillo. In a new interview, the bassist told GulfNews.com that Metallica "have been busy writing and recording."
Yet another song from Megadeth's upcoming thirteenth studio album, TH1RT3EN, is now streaming online, as they band have now premiered the song "Black Swan" via Hot Topic. You can stream the song in full below.
