Help, I am moving from London to a new area in South Lincs called Tumby. I can't find any sign of horse activity. Does anyone know or ride in this area? It will be bad enough knowing no-one at all but I really don't want to be the lone hooves in the wilderness! Does anyone have any local knowledge to pass on? Zanna

The internet has been buzzing all day today because of one name: Tucker Carlson.
If you haven't heard the story yet, FOX News pundit Tucker Carlson responded to the recent comments from President Obama about the Philadelphia Eagles owner giving Michael Vick a second chance to compete in the NFL, and the conversation quickly took a sharp right.
"I'm a Christian, I've made mistakes myself, I believe fervently in second chances," Carlson said. "But Michael Vick killed dogs, and he did in a heartless and cruel way. And I think, personally, he should've been executed for that. He wasn't, but the idea that the President of the United States would be getting behind someone who murdered dogs?"
Well, I'm guessing Tucker Carlson took the phrase "eye for an eye" literally. But maybe he forgot that was in the Old Testament, not the New Testament where the Bible speaks about grace and mercy.
Understand, I have no sympathy for Vick going to prison for his part in the dogfighting operation. He did the crime and paid the time. But let's not go overboard with this.
One of the key points of the prison system is to rehab misbehaving citizens, if rehab is possible depending on the case. By all standards, Michael Vick has shown contrition, has paid his debt to society and has traveled around the country encouraging kids not to make the same choices.
While Michael Vick and dogfighting continues to dominate the sports debates, I'm curious why there hasn't been much talk about Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Donte Stallworth receiving the Ed Block Courage Award?
Stallworth killed a man as a result of driving under the influence in 2008 and was suspended for the entire 2009 season.
Is there an underline message here about who is worthy or redemption and who is not?

Dai Fujiwara's last collection as the brand's creative
director definitely left the crowd impressed. It was no ordinary fashion show; the
show had live pianists playing tunes of familiar childhood songs such as "twinkle
twinkle little star" and started off with teams rolling out pieces of paper
then folding them and stapling them into origami garments. Models dressed in
black then walked on the runway and were dressed by the artists who created
those origami pieces. Other models then appeared wearing the same garments as
the origami ones, except in cloth…it almost felt like the origami came to ...
Set in the designer's beautiful showroom, the atmosphere
was quite cozy and warm. This collection to me was all about perfected layering
and wonderful color combinations. Each outfit was simple yet sophisticated. Lavish
materials such as mink, silk and cashmere were used. The color palette was
accessible and easy to wear, it included metallics, beiges, greys, navy, and
The South Korean designer impressed the crowd with her soft-goth
designs created using both light and heavy materials teamed with black
combat boots. While most of the pieces
were in black, her choice of color was beautiful. I loved the architectural
influence and how she draped the fabric to create this collection.
"Marrakech Express" Collection
A Moroccan designer with one-of-a-kind Couture pieces. Based
in Paris, he has a network of private clients and has already designed clothes for
Kelly Rowland's video and for singer Beth Ditto. The pieces are made in Morocco
by locals, using local fabrics. I talked to the designer at his presentation
and asked him what he thought of Middle Eastern women and he said he loves
their warmth. When asked about his influence as he designs a collection, ART/C
states "I love when a woman makes an entrance" and I'm sure this is the case
with all of his pieces.

AotC: Right on Target review
"As much as one wants to like AotC, it is the cinematic equivalent of that problem child we've all encountered at some point in our lives: no matter how deserving of love we may intellectually sense them to be, emotionally, it's really tough to like the kid because he or she is such a jackass. Episode II is a rudderless movie filled with non-acting from great actors, uneven pacing, inconsistent visual effects (some are wondrous, but many still look artificial and cartoony I don't understand why most of the backgrounds in this "galaxy far, far away" look like they're drawn by sub-par students in some community water color class), all driven-on by clunky exposition and an unbreakable heart of stone. This movie is a zombie: it is alive, but it has no life."
"There are two primary factors fueling this anomaly. Firstly, and what few people realize, is that the generally-preferred Episode IV - A New Hope (the "original" Star Wars movie) and its sequel (Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back) were profoundly impacted by individuals no longer working with Lucas. One of them was a man named Gary Kurtz, who produced American Graffiti and the first two Star Wars films. "
"The prequels would have a different perspective as well: Episode I, for instance, was originally slated to be about The Clone Wars, and the formation of the Jedi Knights. A very different landscape, embracing a very different kind of storytelling than ultimately came our way. A kind of storytelling abandoned by Lucas in-favor of more self-indulgent, less daring whim. "
"The film's central focus the "romance" between tediously-dull Padme (Natalie Portman) and desperate lapdog Anakin (Hayden Christensen) is stilted and undefined. A friend asked me why...if Anakin is such a punk-ass, volatile twerp...someone as refined as Padme would fall in love with him. And, you know what? I couldn't answer that question, because the chemistry is not on-screen, and it really makes no sense whatsoever given the information we have to work with. I guess it had to happen in order to get Luke and Leia conceived, but that's not a very good answer to a question which shouldn't have arisen to begin with. In the original trilogy, we immediately understood the attraction between Han and Leia, and instantly felt the dynamic which pulled them together. No such luck between Annie and Padme. "
I must say, though I don't hold the same overall opinion as the author of the linked article, he makes several great points and, unlike other film critics who just bash a movie, at least he backs up why he feels the way he does.

Immigrant Profiles & Demographics
Immigrant Profiles & Demographics

Recent Activity
This policy brief explores two key policy issues at the center of the May 2004 enlargement of the European Union: the potential for migration from the new Member States to the existing ones; and the need to develop a coherent immigration, asylum, and border control policy for the European Union.
Immigrants often work in traditionally unionized sectors of the economy, such as manufacturing and construction, or in occupations, such as services, that are becoming increasingly organized—yet little is known about their patterns of union representation. This report offers insight into the union affiliation, including membership and non-member coverage, of employed immigrant workers age 16 and over.
This report analyzes the housing status of immigrants in the 100 largest metropolitan areas in the United States with respect to homeownership. In addition, it examines the factors that appear to influence homeownership among immigrants, and the programs and initiatives that can encourage homeownership among these groups.
The genesis of this particular conference on Latino immigration is Samuel P. Huntington's recently published "The Hispanic Challenge," which suggests that Latino immigrants are likely to destroy the United States as we know it. The essays that follow indicate that Professor Huntington's thesis is easily rebutted.
This report examines the characteristics of foreign-born workers in the United States based on the 2002 Current Population Survey. Findings relate to foreign-born workers age 16 and over participating in the civilian labor force.
This report examines foreign-born participation in the United States' labor market. It provides information and charts relating to the number and share of immigrant workers in the total civilian labor force and their employment rates.
Canada and Mexico's importance to the United States is more than simply a border-state phenomenon. The trading relationship between United States and Canada represents the largest bilateral flow of income, goods, and services in the world. Meanwhile, Mexico is the United States' second largest trading partner.
This fact sheet provides an estimate and brief description of the unauthorized immigrant population in the United States in 2003.

Reviews for Turkey Mostaccioli Bake
"This was good. Great to pull together quickly for a weeknight meal."
"Mine turned out a little watery. I added 1 tsp Italian seasoning and some garlic powder. Good for a week night meal!"
"Made this two day ago. It is delicious! Even better the second day! A great smaller version of lasagna. It was easy and tasty a perfect combination."
"Quick and easy to make especially mixing the meat sauce and pasta. I don't use the parmesan cheese. I add a little extra marjoram. I add garlic in the meat sauce."
"As a lower in fat dish, this was very good. I tweaked it a bit. I added a clove of garlic with the onion, a tsp of dried basil, 1/4 tsp pepper flakes to the sauce. I used 2% cottage cheese, that's what I had on hand. As suggested I also added the pasta to the sauce to save a step."

Comedian Joan Rivers is dead at the age of 81. On September 4, 2014, her daughter, Melissa Rivers issued a statement on JoanRivers.com, stating that her mother passed away at 1:17 p.m. at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York. She was surrounded by family at the time of her death.
One week after she went into cardiac arrest during minor throat surgery, the legendary comedian died after spending several days on life support. On Wednesday, Melissa Rivers stated that her mother was still on life support but was moved to a private room. It is rumored that the family spent their last moments with Rivers before removing her from life support on Thursday.
"It is with great sadness that I announce the death of my mother, Joan Rivers. She passed peacefully at 1:17 p.m. surrounded by family and close friends. My son and I would like to thank the doctors, nurses, and staff of Mount Sinai Hospital for the amazing care they provided for my mother .. We have found ourselves humbled by the outpouring of love, support and prayers we have received from around the world. They have been heard and appreciated. My mother's greatest joy in life was to make people laugh. Although that is difficult to do right now, I know her final wish would be that we return to laughing soon."
Joan Rivers was most recently known for her hosting the E! TV show "Fashion Police," where she entertained viewers with her hilarious critique of celebrity fashion. She got her start in the world of show business on "Candid Camera" opposite music legend, Barbara Streisand, then went on to become a permanent guest host alongside Johnny Carson on the "Tonight Show" in 1984.
Two years later, she left Carson's show and hosted her own show, "The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers." The show ended after one year and cost her a friendship with Carson.
"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is God's gift, that's why we call it the present." - Joan Rivers
Rest in peace, Joan Rivers. Your caustic humor will be missed.

As the elections were taking place there was a clear divide in the stocks that would benefit from an Obama win, and those that would benefit from a Romney win.
For starters, the hospital space was in rally mode. The Obama win and a continuing split in Congress makes it unlikely the Affordable Care Act will be challenged in any significant way. Obamacares health insurance mandate means fewer unpaid bills for hospital care, and names like HCA, up 6%, and Tenet Healthcare, up 4.8%.
On the flip side, coal stocks were getting hammered. Obama and the Democrats have pushed against fossil fuels, a push that shows no signs of abating in a second term for the president. Miners Peabody Coal and Alpha Natural Resources, which caught a rally after Romney won the first debate in early October, dropped 8% and 9.7%, respectively.
The big banks took a beating, reflecting not just Obamas win, but a victory for consumer finance advocate Elizabeth Warren over Scott Brown in a Massachusetts Senate race. Expectations were that Romney would try to make the Dodd-Frank reform act as toothless as possible, if not revoke it outright, but those hopes appear to be dashed. Goldman Sachs slumped 3.5%, Morgan Stanley fell 4% and JPMorgan lost 3.1%, while their peers fared little better.

Wake up rested
Spend time in the word
Memorize a verse in the shower
Look at yourself naked in the mirror. Accept your body. Understand the media's lies. Let the beauty from within radiate outward.
Get your favorite bottle of lotion. Start at your toes and thank The Lord for every inch of your being. Your feet for allowing you to stand. Your legs and the ability to walk. Your hands and the lives the touch, the things they create.
I am not yet there on this one myself, but treat your body with respect. Quit smoking, Steph! Start exercising... Eat healthy. Rest more. All the things we say we will do on a regular basis yet rarely follow through on. How much time wasted on bad habits!
Embrace your true self. Let go of the shame. Don't be afraid to dig deep. You are free! You can stop hiding. Kick the coping mechanisms to the curb. Addiction is numbing. "Let it go!" You along with God and "The Christ through whom all things we can do" will have the strength to stand.
Eliminate stress.
Do something you love for work!
Be honest with the real you. Surround yourself with positive people who won't judge you as you follow your passion.
We've all made bad decisions. We are not bad people. Be kind to yourself. Treat yourself with dignity.
Sing! At the top of your lungs.
Eat what makes your body feel good.
Enjoy the small things!
Create something.
Do something you're good at.
Truly forgive yourself for your mistakes and decisions from your past.
Go out of your way for another human being.
See yourself through your dogs eyes. You are awesome!
Find your happy place. Go there for retreat.
Work toward financial freedom.
Allow yourself to take a nap.
Avoid escaping. Don't be afraid to look inward. Dig deep.
Be spontaneous! Allow yourself to feel the joy of a 5 year old at Disney Land. Don't be afraid to ride the wave and also allow yourself to feel the moments of profound sadness.
Embrace your faith. Hold on to hope.
Live the life you want... The one that truly makes you happy, not the one that society dictates.

Jan 4, 2002
By BOB BAUM
AP Sports Writer
TUCSON, Ariz. - This was supposed to be Arizona's revenge. Instead, it was another Duck drubbing of the Wildcats.
Thirteen days after handing Arizona its most one-sided loss of coach Lute Olson's 19 seasons at the school, Oregon beat the 15th-ranked Wildcats again 90-80 Friday night.
"We felt we wanted to make another statement, having played so well up there in Eugene," Oregon coach Ernie Kent said. "Probably the best thing for us was to turn around and play them again."
Only a 3-pointer by Will Bynum with 23.9 seconds to play prevented it from being Arizona's worst home loss of the Olson era.
Luke Ridnour set career highs with six 3-pointers, 23 points and 10 assists as the Ducks (10-3, 3-0 Pac-10) won at McKale Center for the first time since 1985, a span of 16 consecutive losses.
Oregon swept Arizona for the first time since the 1982-83 season.
"We knew that we could play with them," Ridnour said. "We all hit shots. We have a lot of confidence on this team."
Oregon, which made 13-of-22 3-pointers in its 105-75 rout of Arizona in Eugene on Dec. 22, hit 10-of-17 3s this time.
"They are a very, very good basketball team," Olson said. "They have four or five perimeter guys that can all shoot and handle the ball. Their inside guys know their roles. They are just better than we are. That is pretty obvious."
Luke Jackson added 21 points, 14 in the first half, and Freddie Jones scored 12 for the Ducks, who led by as many a 17 in the first half and 22 in the second. James Davis scored all 10 of his points in the second half for Oregon.
A year ago, the Ducks lost at Arizona 104-65.
"We were so angry about that, so embarrassed about that," Jackson said. "More than anything, we just wanted to prove that we could win on the road. They went on runs and we just answered every single time it seemed like."
Jason Gardner scored 22 points, but was just 7-for-19 from the field, 3-for-11 on 3-pointers, for the Wildcats (8-4, 1-2), who were without Luke Walton, their best passer and defender. Walton, one of only three non-freshmen in Arizona's rotation, strained his right Achilles' tendon in Arizona's victory over Pepperdine on Dec. 29.
"Even with Luke, I don't know how much better we would have been," Olson said. "We are having a miserable time getting our guys to play with some continuity."
Salim Soudamire added 16 points, Bynum 15 and Rick Anderson 11 for Arizona.
The worst loss for Arizona at home under Olson was 61-49 to Tennessee on Dec. 23, 1983, his first season in Tucson.
Oregon won its sixth straight but its first of the season on the road. The Ducks are 8-0 at home, 1-1 on a neutral court and 1-2 on the road. The neutral court loss to Massachusetts also was essentially a road game.
Olson drew a rare technical foul for storming onto the court to protest a non-call with 14:47 to play in the first half.
The technical came during the 9-0 surge that put Oregon up for good 19-10 on Anthony Lever's 3-pointer 13:21 to play in the first half.
The Ducks, frustrating the Wildcats with a tight man-to-man defense, made it 30-17 on Ridnour's fourth 3-pointer - in four attempts - with 10:01 to play. Ridnour made five 3s before he missed one and finished 6-for-8.
Another 6-0 run put Oregon up 45-28 with 2:57 to play in the half on Jackson's breakaway stuff 2:57 before the break.
The Ducks led 49-38 at the half. Olson stayed on the court to complain after Gardner was knocked to the floor on a driving layup in the final seconds of the half but no foul was called.
Oregon was 10-for-15 at the foul line in the first half, compared with 4-for-5 for Arizona. The Wildcats' Channing Frye had three fouls by halftime and three others had two.
The Ducks made five of eight 3-pointers, in the first half, compared with Arizona's 2-for-13.
Arizona used a 7-0 run to cut it to 53-45 on Bynum's driving layup with 16:53 to play. But Davis sank a 3-pointer to ignite an 11-0 Oregon spurt that put the Ducks up 64-45 on Jones' two free throws with 13:34 remaining.
Oregon rubbed it in with a spectacular fastbreak basket. Ridnour passed the ball off the glass, and Jones grabbed it for a stuff to put the Duck ahead 82-60 with 7:28 to play.

(BlackDoctor.org) — Let's face it. Most college students don't rack in the dollars. Most live off of cold pizza and oodles and noodles. Because of this, many college students that want to lose weight feel discouraged when they find out that the average diet boasts a $300-$400 dollar a month food plan.
I'm telling you right now, I've been there. I was going to the grocery store every two weeks and spending at least $100 on groceries. To top that off, it was still difficult to control my portion sizes because there are not many recipes out there that make less than four servings, and if you're like me, you can't eat just one serving. So what can you do?
Step 1: Try healthy frozen dinners.
Many nutritionists say that some frozen dinners (lean cuisine, healthy choice, or any other meals under 400 calories) help control portion size and calorie intake. When I found this out, my mind went back to the olden days of growing up with the nasty dinners of reconstituted potatoes and rock hard Salisbury steak, but since then, frozen dinners have come a long way. They are much tastier and very inexpensive, with a range of prices from $.89 cents to $3.00.
Step 2: Why eat three when you can have five?
Our metabolism is a strange little creature. In fact our bodies are a strange make up of feelings, processes and chemical reactions. When you eat more often and consume smaller portions not only do you allow your metabolism to burn more calories, you allow it to control your hunger which keeps you from binging on junk food between meals during the day.
Step 3: Stop feeling guilty about the occasional binge.
So, you want that brownie? Go ahead and have it. Just don't have an entire pan of brownies. If you give in to a little temptation now and then, it will keep you from letting the flood gates open when you're having a bad day.

I've been intrigued with the blending of Buddhist thought and western psychology since reading The Art of Happiness by the Dalai Lama and Howard Cutler. Brilliant Sanity is a collection of essays addressing the field of contemplative psychotherapy written by a wide range of therapeutic practitioners, and is one of the more interesting and approachable "textbooks" of its type. Contemplative Psychotherapy (CP) is an emerging field of study and a (relatively) new method of working with patients involved in various therapeutic settings. The title, Brilliant Sanity, refers to a term coined by Chogyam Trungpa to refer to our innermost nature of being compassionate and caring beings, and it is the mission of the contemplative psychotherapist to return his or her patient to that state of existence. This form of therapy is likely to be somewhat challenging for someone trained in typical Western approaches, where the concept of "original sin" tends to predominate, even if the therapist does not subscribe to stereotypical Judeo-Christian-Islamic beliefs. While CP training cautions against mixing therapy and spirituality, the essays in this book do point out that certain concepts and practices in Buddhism (especially meditation) can be applied to a therapeutic situation. Each informative, insightful, and thought-provoking essay encourages therapists to know and understand themselves as a key component to their contemplative therapeutic practice. This is a book definitely recommended for therapists who are interested in challenging themselves and their way of looking at their patients, and for those willing to reframe their approach to working with others. From University of the Rockies Press and available at your local, independent bookstore. (Tell 'em you saw it on Elephant Journal!)

MADISON, Wisconsin - Chick-fil-A is asking the City of Madison to grant them a permit that would allow them to construct a restaurant at the address of 423 S. Gammon Road near West Towne Mall.
Many people and groups are outraged and are urging the city to deny Chick-fil-A's permits. Gay rights and animal rights activists are joining forces against Chick-fil-A.
In a press release from the Global Conservation Group, Tim Green said "Corporations that profit from the bloodshed and cruelty of animals have no place in our city."
In a letter to the City of Madison's Planning Commission, Global Conservation Group stated "The City of Madison has always been a leader when it comes to supporting diversity and kindness of its citizens, however, allowing Chick-fil-A to construct an establishment in Madison would be turning our backs on a portion of our community; our LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) friends, family and neighbors. I think it's important that the city sends a message that we want business here ... but what we can't have and don't want are businesses that have discriminatory roles."
Chicago and Boston both denied similar permit requests made by Chick-fil-A. In fact, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanual said "They disrespect our fellow neighbors and residents. This would be a bad investment, since it would be empty."
The city is scheduled to have a meeting on Monday, April 28 to decide on the permit. Those interested in submitting your thoughts or concerns to the city can email firstname.lastname@example.com

We saw this interesting mushroom off of the trail at Lily Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park in August. It was about 8″ tall and a whitish color.
Does anyone have any idea what kind of mushroom it is? I couldn't find it in any of my books. It was really cool looking!

Three will sell the Samsung Galaxy Fame
Network says budget Android 4.1 Jelly Bean smartphone is coming soon
UK MOBILE OPERATOR Three has announced that it will sell the Samsung Galaxy Fame, a budget Android 4.1 Jelly Bean smartphone.
Samsung's Galaxy Fame made its debut last week along with the 4.5in Galaxy Express, as the firm moves even further away from a hero strategy.
The Galaxy S3 lookalike features a smaller 3.5in 320x480 touchscreen and a 1GHz processor, confirming its place in the firm's budget lineup. It also arrives running a recent version of Google's mobile operating system, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, and features Samsung's Touchwiz user interface.
The handset, which Three will offer in both blue and white, also features a 5MP rear-facing camera, a 0.3MP video calling camera, integrated NFC technology and a 1,300mAh battery.
Three has yet to reveal pricing or the release date for the Samsung Galaxy Fame, but promises that it will be available on its network "soon".
Sylvia Chind, head of Devices at Three said, "The Samsung Galaxy Fame is a welcome addition to Three. Complemented by our award winning network, browsing the internet, using apps like Youtube or sharing music, photos and videos on the go, this innovative smartphone fits your needs perfectly."
Three, which clearly is a fan of Samsung smartphones, earlier this week revealed that it will be offering the Samsung Galaxy S3 Ultrafast handset on its DC-HSDPA network, which it claims will offer internet speeds of up to 20Mbit/s. µ

Along the Tokachigawa river, some 20 lodging facilities exist, offering various types of bath and service to let guests enjoy the moor hot spring.
The Tokachigawa river is well known as a winter home for swans. Sheer indulgence of hot springs while listing to the chirps of swans is a luxury available only in winter time.

What's Next For Private Stock Markets After Big Web IPOs?
The surge of trading activity in the stock of private companies such as Facebook and Groupon could soon run up against its natural limitation: It's not entirely clear what happens after those boldface names advance to the big leagues.
The field of dealers offering these off-exchange services to accredited investors has become crowded of late, thanks in part to the social-media glamour names. But critics say the pipeline of companies beyond these highflying names is rather thin, putting the sustainability of these private markets into question.
The increased competition comes as trading in these instruments has a natural shelf life that concludes when private companies elect to turn public.
"It's all a big question mark," said Jay Ritter, a professor of finance at the University of Florida, who specializes in stock-market research. "I would be very surprised two years from now if there were four or more players that had nontrivial market shares. I expect one or at most two trading venues to succeed, and those that don't generate enough liquidity will disappear."
Much of the volume on private exchanges such as SecondMarket and SharesPost is concentrated among technology companies. SecondMarket reported 62% of its transactions in the third quarter came in the consumer-web and social-media industries. Facebook, Twitter, Groupon and Zynga made up the bulk of trading on SecondMarket's platform, which completed some $167 million in private stock transactions in the quarter, and $435 million for the year.
"People like to invest in companies they know a lot about," said James Angel, a finance professor at Georgetown University and board member at Direct Edge, an electronic stock exchange. "For the lesser-known companies, those are the ones that are always going to struggle in this market."
Groupon is closing in on its initial public offering, Zynga's IPO is expected soon, and Facebook could have one of the world's biggest IPOs if it goes public next year as predicted. But then debate begins about whether other companies in the pipeline will attract similar levels of demand. Among the other in-demand companies on SecondMarket include Foursquare, Skype, Dropbox, Yelp, Gilt Groupe and LivingSocial.
"We're very prepared for at some point Zynga, Groupon and possibly Facebook going public," said Jeremy Smith, chief strategy officer at SecondMarket. "We're focused on working with the next generation of start-ups and developing secondary markets for their shares."
SharesPost Chief Executive David Weir said the three sectors receiving the most attention on his platform are social media, green technology and cloud computing. SharesPost has experienced a "pretty substantial broadening and deepening of the market" this year, he said, declining to provide specific data on transaction volumes.
These exchanges will see competition from Wall Street trading houses long associated with trading in public markets–this month, Cantor Fitzgerald and Liquidnet revealed their own plans for private-market platforms. They enter what is becoming an appealing adjunct to handling stock, bond, currency and other instruments on behalf of largely institutional clients

An ancient urn chained to a coffin is unearted by chance by some men at work along the road bordering the Viterbo's cemetery. The urn contains an age-old tunic and some objects belonging to Mater Lacrimarum, the Third Mother. The only survivor of the Three Mothers - three powerful witches who had been shedding blood and terror for aeons - Mater Lacrimarum has been hiding in Rome for centuries and her awakening triggers a chain of mysterious and terrible events: the Evil is back to cast its dark shadow over the city. Sarah Mandy, a young student of restoration, co-worker and love interest of Michael Pierce, the curator of the Museum of Ancient Art of Rome, is involved in the escalating and increasingly frantic episodes of violence. Sarah tries to run away but she cannot: the Third Mother is looking for her and Sarah is not aware of the fact that her mother Elisa Mandy was a powerful white witch brutally killed by Mater Suspiriorum, the witch from Fryeburg. Helped by the spirit of her mother, by an eminent esoterism academic, Guglielmo De Witt, and by the Chief Constable Marchi, Sarah realizes that she has no way out and that she must face the impending threat

Chip Maker Tries to Power Through Downturn
The head of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, the world's largest contract chip maker by revenue, is taking several measures to power through the downturn.
"We don't know where this recession is going to end yet," said Morris Chang, founder and chairman of TSMC, on the sidelines of The Wall Street Journal's CEO Council in Washington. He said fourth quarter revenues will be down about 25% from the third quarter.
The company is also curbing capital expenditures and reducing costs to get through a downturn. Chang said the firm is implementing a hiring freeze, although some managers can approve new key hires. The company has 23,000 employees globally and 20,000 in Taiwan. "We want to take some definite measures to control hires more carefully," he said.
The company plans to keep its dividend this year and next year at 3 national Taiwanese dollars per share he said and the company is prioritizing a maintained dividend over any share buyback programs.
Electronics are a leading industry in Taiwan and several other memory-chip makers in the country have a convertible-debt problem after a borrowing binge in recent years, according to Dow Jones wire accounts on Tuesday.
Taiwan's government has offered some relief by pushing back the due date on bank loans, totaling about $12.7 billion for the four biggest companies: Powerchip Semiconductor, Nanya Technology, Inotera Memories and ProMOS Technologies
TSMC's Chang said his company has $6 billion of cash on hand and is in a strong cash-flow position, unlike some of his sibling companies in the electronics industry. As to any government help for electronics companies, he said, "It's none of our business. We [TSMC] don't need a bailout." – Paul Glader

DAYTONA BEACH — Jim Brady's first taste of freedom was at the New Jersey shore with his 1969 turquoise and white Suburban.
39th Annual Daytona Turkey Run
WHEN: 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday

ADMISSION: $15 daily through Saturday, $10 Sunday; Children ages 10 and younger free with an adult
INFORMATION: 386-255-7355 or daytonabeachcarshows.com
55th Birthplace of Speed Antique Car Show and Gaslight Parade

ADMISSION: Spectator admission is free
Holidays at the Beach: Parade of Lights and Light up Volusia ceremony
WHEN/WHERE: Parade begins at 5:15 p.m. Saturday on Main Street; Light Up Volusia begins at 7:15 p.m. in front of the Ocean Center, 101 North Atlantic Ave. ADMISSION: free
INFORMATION: 386-295-5102 or www.holidaysatthebeach.com
Although several decades have passed since Brady was a 17-year-old cruising the coast, he recreated those memories nine years ago by restoring the same model car and repainting it to match his first love.
As the operations manager for Daytona Beach Car Shows, Brady is looking forward to showing off his two model cars and reuniting with fellow model car junkies during the 39th annual Turkey Run that features more than 5,000 vintage autos, race cars and trucks.
The four-day event starts Thursday but classic car enthusiasts start showing up at the start of the week, Brady said.
"It's four days where everyone shares a common interest," Brady said. "Everyone is sharing their old war stories and it's a common group of people with the same hobby."
It's Volusia County's history of automobile sports that turned Davis into a permanent resident 12 years ago.
But the Turkey Run is just one event that is likely to draw thousands to Volusia County this week.
The 55th annual Birthplace of Speed Antique Car Show and Gaslight parade is Friday and Saturday in Ormond Beach as well as the inaugural Parade of Lights and the Light Up Volusia Ceremony in the beachside's entertainment zone Saturday evening.
Bob Davis, president of the Hotel and Lodging Association of Volusia County, said Thanksgiving week and weekend are expected to be a huge economic boom for the area. Along with the automobile events, Daytona Beach will be a destination for thousands of families for the National Youth Football Championships Wednesday through Saturday.
"This should be a great weekend," Davis said. "You are talking about two major events that bring people from all over the country. It's a wonderful time for families to come and it's great mix of events."
The Turkey Run isn't just for muscle cars, Mustangs, Vipers and street rod owners. More than 125,000 people and vendors attend the event annually and many of them are spectators, said Brady.
The Turkey Run will be held in the infield of Daytona International Speedway and includes events such as an appearance by drag racing legend Don "Big Daddy" Garlits , the new Embry-Riddle Jet Dragster and a veterans tribute Saturday at noon.
The event also draws thousands of vendors for its swap meet to sell unique car parts.
The automobile event began in Ormond Beach more than 50 years ago with an antique car club hosting a swap meet, parade and car show. That led to the Turkey Run, said Rick D'Louhy , spokesman for Volusia Region Antique Automobile Club of America.
D'Louhy said his members register their antique cars with the Birthplace of Speed Antique Car Show but will also join in on the festivities at the Turkey Run.
"The beautiful thing is that the Turkey Run has a huge swap meet," D'Louhy said. "Our members go out looking for parts and to look at the antique cars. It's a wonderful cross pollination."
The holiday events taking place in Daytona's "e-zone" this weekend are part of a push by economic-development and city leaders to draw tourists in what might otherwise be a slow reason.
The Daytona Beach Convention Center and Visitor's Bureau is replacing the city's annual Christmas parade with the Parade of Lights on Saturday at 5:15 p.m. At 7: 15 p.m. Light Up Volusia, a tree and decorations lighting ceremony, will take place in front of the Ocean Center, Daytona Beach Hilton Oceanfront Resort and Ocean Walk Shoppes.
The Parade of Lights route begins on Main Street at the corner of Peninsula Drive and will travel east over A1A, then north onto Ocean Avenue looping back to the Peabody Auditorium. The parade features high school bands, classic cars from the Turkey Run, civic groups and dance troupes.
"This gives residents and visitors holiday activities in addition to the automobile and football events," Convention and Visitor's Bureau spokeswoman Tangela Boyd said.
Salty Dog Surf Shop Owner Dave LaMontte said he is looking forward to the boost the automobile crowds bring to his Bellair Plaza business. Despite confusion last year over whether or not the classic cars could gather in the parking lot, LaMontte wants automobile enthusiasts to know that they are welcome on the premises.
"For me this weekend is bigger than Biketoberfest," he said. "The people are great and we do very well."

Previous Diary Entries
Feb. 17, 2004
Hello everyone!
Last weekend we traveled to Norman, Oklahoma for a dual meet against the University of Oklahoma. On Friday morning, before the competition, we went to the International Gymnast Magazine headquarters, where we got a tour of the building and even had the opportunity to look through old IG magazines dating back to the 1950's. Lindsay, Kendall, Lise and Larissa found some articles about themselves. It was especially fun to see pictures of Larissa, when she was competing as a young gymnast!
Stephanie Gentry and Aimee Precourt, two high school seniors which will be joining the team next year as Freshman, came to the meet. It was really great to see both of them. We had a little bit of a shaky meet, but I think everyone on the team stayed very focused despite the bars collapsing during Natalie's bar routine. As a team we learned a lot from the competition and we have developed a whole new level of commitment for the remainder of our season.
This Friday will be Senior Night, the last home meet for our five amazing seniors. It should be an awesome show and I know that all the girls on the team are looking forward to making it a very special experience for Lindsay, Kendall, Caroline, Lise and Shelly. They are such an integral part of the team and have such passion for the sport that we all hope they have a wonderful time competing for the last time in Burnham Pavilion.

Lunar Glide running shoes by Nike lined up for runners to try after getting a gait analysis from Nike representatives at Runner's High in Long Beach
Team Runner's High, of specialized running store Runner's High, located on 2nd Street in Belmont Shore, had some representatives of Nike present at their weekly Thursday run. Nike Running had a treadmill set out in front of the store to do a gait analysis and also allowed many of the runners there to test out different Nike shoes on the out and back run that took place. There were other Nike products that were out for the runners to test including the Nike Plus sport band system.
After the run, all the runners gathered in the store and checked out the different Nike shoes and products that Runner's High offers. Also, all those who participated in the run were entered in the raffle for a new free pair of Nike shoes. The night was also full of questions for the Nike reps and chatter about upcoming races, including Surf City on February 7th and the LA Marathon on March 21st.
Los Alamitos resident and new runner, Jodi Oliver, had this to say about the Nike Running Team's visit to Runner's High; "It was great to have my running gait analyzed by Scott from Nike and get shoe recommendations from the reps. I use the Nike Plus system and was able to discuss it with James and offer some suggestions. It was really cool that they came out to Runner's High. I only wish they had brought along some fun freebies!"
Though there weren't any great sale items or free goods, the Nike reps were very knowledgeable and helpful to everyone there. Make sure to check out Runner's High on Second Street in Belmont Shore for all your specialized running needs. Also check out their event section to see if any other great running companies will be making an appearance on an upcoming Thursday night.

Do you listen to the CERN LHC podcasts? They can be good. Every now and again, there's a visitor there, and Brian Cox interviews them on site at the Large Hadron Collider. (Search archives for LHC or see links to lots of posts on it below, such as this one.) The most recent visit is by Phil Plait, aka the Bad Astronomer. They chat together about various aspects of the science to be done at the (soon to be switched on!) LHC, research in basic science in general, the scare-mongering business about the black holes destroying the earth (see here and here), conspiracy theories, and – of course – the general awesomeness of the machine itself. (Go to iTunes and subscribe to the podcast. Search for CERN – Large Hadron Collider.)
Phil raves about his visit in a recent post on the Bad Astronomy Blog here.

With the 2013-14 NHL season inching closer by the day, NHL.com has you covered with positional fantasy rankings. Based on projected lineups, potential Yahoo! position eligibility, past performance, injury history and each insider's opinions, Matt Cubeta (centers), Matt Sitkoff (left wings), Pete Jensen (right wings), Brian Metzer (defensemen) and Justin Goldman (goalies) bring you up to speed by identifying all the players worth targeting at each position in your upcoming drafts.
Corey Perry had a two-year reign atop NHL.com's preseason fantasy right wing rankings, but the resurgence of two dynamic forwards alters the landscape at the position entering 2013-14.
Alex Ovechkin, who led the NHL in goals, power-play goals and shots on goal during the shortened 2012-13 season, is a no-brainer for the top fantasy right wing spot. His smooth transition from the left side to the right together with his category coverage immediately gives the position representation among the top-five overall assets.
Ovechkin put up his best season in years, but Patrick Kane isn't far behind at No. 2 among right wings. The 24-year-old reeled off points on the second-most consistent basis in the League among players with 47-plus games played (at least one point in 35 games), and touched on five of the six standard-league fantasy categories. He was the team's anchor in the offensive zone, and his explosiveness during the Stanley Cup Playoffs spoke for itself.
Perry, ranked third at the position, was a six-tool fantasy player yet again for his loyal owners in 2012-13, and benefited largely from the return to form of linemate Ryan Getzlaf. Along with Ovechkin and Kane, Perry remains a top-20 overall fantasy option entering the new season.
Rounding out the top five right wings are Phil Kessel, who averaged more than a point per game with stellar power-play and shot production, and Martin St. Louis, who plays with fantasy superstar Steven Stamkos and at age 37 became the oldest player in NHL history to win the scoring title.
Right wing is the second deepest fantasy forward position (behind centers) based on NHL.com's top 200 overall rankings, and the large group of new faces in new places who can make an impact (i.e. Bobby Ryan, Loui Eriksson, Jarome Iginla, David Clarkson, Jaromir Jagr, Daniel Alfredsson) is a huge reason why.
Additions to the preseason top 15 right wing ranks include Alexander Semin, Jakub Voracek, Pascal Dupuis and PA Parenteau, each of whom emerged as a premier fantasy option with help from an elite-level linemate. These right wing ranks also have their share of compelling sleeper picks, such as Beau Bennett and Filip Forsberg, along with breakout candidates in Vladimir Tarasenko and dual-eligible Brent Burns (D/RW).
Some question marks certainly loom for players dealing with injuries (i.e. Ryan Callahan, Nathan Horton) and those who remain unrestricted free agents (i.e. Damien Brunner), but overall, the right wing position took a major step forward from a fantasy standpoint this past year.
NOTE: Positional rankings do not necessarily reflect the order of NHL.com's top 200 overall rankings, which are compiled based on the individual rankings of the four NHL.com insiders whose opinions were taken into account.

Track List
Album Remarks & Appraisals:
Audiophile Audition
Chicago-based composer, arranger, and trumpeter Joe Clark has launched a debut big band album in an economic environment. The Billy Strayhorn ballad "Lush Life" is executed with a rich texture and a strong tenor saxophone solo from Chris Madsen. The band offers five covers and three originals that demonstrate a common idea among the members of the ensemble. The Latin-flavored "Samba De Martelo" is adroitly imagined with guitarist Mike Pinto on firm ground. The Walter Gross/Jack Lawrence standard "Tenderly" which generally is a vocal tune. The pieces are inventive and highly-adaptable, thereby giving the band a chance to relax. The soloists make good use of the structure of the charts to demonstrate their skills, with trombonist Tom Garling in the lead on the first tune, Victor Garcia on trumpet on the second, and finally pianist Ryan Cohan on the last offering.
Album Notes
Personnel: Mike Pinto (guitar); Dan Nicholson (flute, alto saxophone); Chris Madsen, Anthony Bruno (flute, tenor saxophone); Corbin Andrick (clarinet, soprano saxophone, alto saxophone); Mark Hiebert (bass clarinet, baritone saxophone); Brent Turney, Joe Clark , Victor Garcia , Chuck Parrish, B.J. Cord (trumpet, flugelhorn); Bryant Scott, Andy Baker , Tom Garling (trombone); Tom Matta (bass trombone); Ryan Cohan (piano).

Liner Note Authors: Joe Clark ; Mark Hiebert.
Recording information: Studiochicago, Chicago, IL (03/20/2012/03/21/2012).
Lush marks the first big-band album under the leadership of composer, arranger, and trumpeter Joe Clark. The band achieves a delicate balance, paying homage to the traditional big-band sound of the '40s while moving the music forward via Clark's modern arrangements. In order to achieve that balance, Clark assembled a versatile band that features Grammy-winning drummer Jeff Hamilton, who is also music director of the renowned modern big band Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra. The eight tracks include takes on the Thelonious Monk composition "Well, You Needn't," the standards "Tenderly" and "Yesterday's Gardenias," Billy Strayhorn's "Lush Life," Jeff Hamilton's "Samba de Martelo, and three original compositions from Clark. ~ Al Campbell

INTERVIEW: Thomas HerpichInterview Conducted by Adam Ford
Thomas Herpich's two published volumes to date are collections of dreamlike short stories and comic objects that are haunting, compelling and mesmerising. There's a black humour permeating Herpich's work, as well as a confrontational frankness in his observations. Adam Ford recently swapped some emails with Thomas in order to try out a few ideas that were inspired by Cusp and Gongwanadon.Adam Ford: There are more prose pages among the comics in Gongwanadon than there are in Cusp. Is this a direction that you find yourself heading in: away from illustrated work and towards "straight" (as in whisky, straight) writing? Thomas Herpich: Well, maybe. I haven't done much of anything creatively since finishing Gongwanadon. I haven't felt too compelled to write or draw. But I admit that more than once during the creation of Gongwanadon I tried to "force" an idea into a comics form that I knew (subconsciously, for the most part) would be better communicated some other way (these didn't end up in the published book). Because Cusp had received a lot of positive attention, and because I had committed to producing another book, I had put a lot of pressure on myself to create. Also, because I was creating for a larger audience, I felt like I had an opportunity that I shouldn't waste, so I had put a lot of pressure on myself to create work that was specifically virtuous and mature, content-wise. So I had a lot of ideas that weren't really appropriate for my comics work, and a lot of pressure to fit them in there somehow."Relaxation", the piece in Gongwanadon that is entirely prose, went through two or three drafts that were much more visual, much closer to conventional comics. Gradually I caught on to my own forcing of the idea into comics form, and I realized that I was diluting the original idea, not enhancing or clarifying it. And since I really thought this was an interesting story that I really wanted to share, I didn't just scrap it. I wrote it out straight, and it was very enjoyable. There was something almost mathematical about describing this event, where it felt like every word was either right or wrong. Helping or hurting. No vagueness. It was refreshingly precise. Drawing (for me) is a much foggier experience.How do you mean "foggy"?Well, when you draw, you have an essentially infinite number of choices with every mark you make. When you're writing you have a very limited palette. I think there's only like 20,000 words in the English language. I saw a piece in a gallery once where someone took a big piece of paper, maybe 5'x10', and wrote literally every word on it. It was unsettling. When I'm writing, I guess I'm usually trying to approach an ideal of perfect clarity. A perfectly efficient communication. And I can tell when I get it right, and that's very satisfying. I can't articulate the satisfaction I get from drawing so easily. It's a lot closer to my heart.In addition to "Relaxation", there are also other pieces in Gongwanadon, which lean towards prose, but have some kind of illustrative element to them. How do you decide that a story needs THIS much illustration and no more? I don't know. I guess it just feels right. Or "right enough". If I try to think about it too much it's like staring into infinity. I mean, is there really any logical, explainable reason to make a drawing such-and-such size, and not 2% smaller? To have it positioned here, and not 2 millimetres to the left? I don't think about stuff like that when I'm working, of course. I just go with the feeling. Trying to be too logical about it is paralysing. Unfortunately, there may be some things in Gongwanadon that I knew didn't feel right, but just said "fuck it" since I needed to fill up 30 pages in a few weeks. Drawing and writing can be a pretty painful ordeal for me generally anyway, so I'm often fighting the impulse to say "this is good enough" and stop. It's been a long time since I was eager to draw. I guess it's a reflection of my anxiety and insecurity, which have really been on the upswing since I graduated from college about two and a half years ago. That's probably the answer to a lot of the aesthetic questions that could be asked of me. With what you said about "Relaxation", this dilution of the idea by forcing it into comics form - you mean you felt like the pictures weren't adding anything to the story? This touches on an interesting aspect of comics: the ability of words and pictures to enhance and strengthen without being redundant. For example, the difference between a panel depicting a running man thinking, "I am running" or "I'm going to be late" and a panel depicting a man being beaten up thinking, "I'm going to be late". What are your thoughts on this enhancement vs. redundancy "trap" with respect to the comics form? There are never any rules. The guy getting beat up is more clever, but clever isn't always appropriate. I've done my share of showing-off. Y'know: "look how smart I am, doesn't that impress you? Don't you like me now?" But sometimes redundancy is nice. For me, it's all about eliminating the distractions that get in the way of knowing what's necessary. If an artist has a good innate understanding of the tools available to him, then he won't be distracted by having to make sure he uses them correctly. If he is confident enough to not need to impress (or mystify or amuse or use any other defensive trick against) their audience, that's another huge distraction out of the way. It's important to trust your intuition, which is where the subtle, unique things are, and the really honest decisions are made. That's where the real satisfaction is. Those artists who can do that are the artists whose work is really exciting.So you're in a bit of a creative lull at the moment, post-Gongwanadon. Do you think the urge to create will come back? Did you have a similar experience of not wanting to create after finishing Cusp? Actually, yesterday afternoon, for the first time - probably since Cusp - I felt a rush of enthusiasm for making new art (including comics). I was on a shuttle bus from the airport. I'd just got back to New York from a trip to Asheville, North Carolina, and it was really really refreshing. It was by no means a comfortable or relaxing trip, but it was very "real" - very intense. It was more like a subtle reawakening. I've known for a while that living in New York was making me emotionally numb, and maybe even seducing me towards nihilism or embracing sin, but I haven't been able to do anything about it until recently.What do you think are the risks, if any, of including prose in what's ostensibly a comic book? I don't think anything bad could really come of it. Maybe if the book was 51% prose people might feel mislead if they bought it sight-unseen. Technically, I guess, it's being distributed as a comic book. But that's a pretty unlikely scenario (and not what you're getting at, I assume). Anyway, Gongwanadon only has about 3 or 4 pages of prose out of 48.I don't mind anything being stuck in a comic book (prose, collages, photos, whatever) as long as it's interesting and feels necessary. Same goes, of course, for regular novels or any other art form. If an artist is responsible and humble and virtuous, and is motivated by a feeling of necessity, and isn't being lazy or mean-spirited towards his audience, then he shouldn't contain himself to arbitrary rules about what goes in a comic book or what goes in a novel. Just do what's necessary.What for you defines what is necessary in your creative work? What's necessary is what comes out when the filters of defensiveness and incompetence have been removed.What's the process whereby a Tom Herpich story comes into being? They're all born as differently as I can manage, since, more than almost anything else, I hate repeating myself, and I'm always wary of falling into any sort of rut, or developing some complacent method for creating. But usually my best ideas come from doodling. It's a good way of un-self-consciously developing an idea. The ideas I struggle with the most are the ones that I've thought about a lot before putting pencil to paper. I always get this feeling of redundancy. Like, since it's basically "complete" in my head, why should I bother putting it on paper? It's boring. And frustrating, too, since the real thing can never compete with the imaginary one. I try to let there be a lot of discovery and spontaneity in the development of a strip. The stories "Gongwanadon 1" and "Gongwanadon 2" were both drawn/written straight through with almost no forethought. The only substantial penciling I did came about halfway through "Gongwanadon 1", after they've landed on the planet, and for the duration of that story. I guess this was partly due to a loss of confidence (regarding the more complex backgrounds) and a loss of enthusiasm (though I'm not sure which came first). But I thought it was pretty interesting, in a meta-fictional sort of way, how, in this story about the excitement of anticipation and the confusion/disappointment/complacency of release, my noticeable (to me at least) lessening of authorial enthusiasm coincided very neatly with the post-"release" portion of the story. Also kinda interesting is that that portion of the story makes a lot more conventional "sense" than the preceding portion.How do you feel about your work being described as like a dream-diary? That feels pretty appropriate, though a bit dismissive, since dreams are kinda this free cornucopia of unearned ideas. I had to struggle a lot more for my material than if it was actually based on dreams. I do like elliptical, slightly mysterious storytelling, though, and all my work is about sex or insecurities, so that's pretty dreamlike.
