Dylan Dog (US - DVD R1)
Gabe weeps softly for Brandon Routh, Kevin Munroe and Tiziano Sclavi....
One time supernatural detective Dylan Dog (Brandon Routh) has been living in pseudo retirement for years as an everyday private investigator. While working mundane infidelity cases Dylan is hired by a client named Elizabeth (Anita Briem). When Dylan realizes that Elizabeth's murdered father was likely done-in by something unnatural, he decides to avoid the case altogether, least he be drawn back into his old work. Soon after, however, Dylan's sidekick Marcus (Sam Huntington) is killed by the same supernatural creature (he is quickly reborn as a zombie, and allowed to continue working alongside his employer), and the retired detective once again dons his black coat and takes to investigating the underworld underground.
Even if it had been good, Dylan Dog: Dead of Night was destined to be a tragedy, simply because similar comic book adaptations had already beat it to the big screen. The tragedy of this situation is that the Dylan Dog comic book series actually predates both the similar Hellblazer and Hellboy series, and was a major inspiration on both (Hellboy creator Mike Mignola even illustrated the covers for the Dark Horse reprints of the series in the US). There's something genuinely depressing about the originator of a subgenre being considered an old hat cash-in by general audiences (outside of Italy, of course, where Dylan Dog is still quite popular). Tiziano Sclavi, the creator and sometimes writer of the Dylan Dog comic series, also wrote a book that Michele Soavi based Dellamorte Dellamore, aka: Cemetery Man, on. The film recalled some aspects of the Dylan Dog series, specifically the look of the lead character, who was played by Rupert Everett, the visual basis for Dylan (the Francesco Dellamorte character also made some guest appearances in a few issues), but is not an actual adaptation of the comic. Since Dellamorte Dellamore's 1994 release, where it was largely ignored by non-Italian audiences (sadly), Guillermo del Toro made two Hellboy movies, and Francis Lawrence made an adaptation of Hellblazer called Constantine. All three films were relatively successful, and have a reasonably effective presence in the pop culture conscious (not to mention other, non-comic-based monster hunting movies like Van Helsing). It wouldn't exactly be a stretch to assume that producer Scott Rosenberg (who also produced Men in Black) took this all into account, and that Lawrence and Del Toro's achievements led to his belated take on the decades old character.
Dylan Dog: Dead of Night, beyond the fact that it's generally just uninspiring on every level, is disappointing in its willingness to embrace clichés, and habit of straight-up stealing elements from other films without any sense of homage. I'm not quite familiar enough with the source material to hot-bloodedly accuse Munroe and his screenwriters of missing the point of the exercise, but I recognized too little of what I've read in this film, and too much from other, similar work ( Blade, Underworld, Constantine, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, so on and so forth). Even the creature designs recall other, recent productions. The filmmakers recognize that their film should be a horror/mystery/comedy hybrid, but fail to capture the real fun of any genre. The mystery is predictable, and the Philip Marloweisms are awkward, the horror is definitively PG-13 in nature, and the 'funny parts' fall flat with very few exceptions. With a dousing of non-ironic wit, some creepy elements that push beyond an average episode of R.L. Stine's Goosbumps (I really wanted to see the cannibal zombies tear up the superzombie), and some less cliché-driven jokes it would actually be quite easy to overlook the hackneyed premises, ridiculous plot holes, and lack of intrigue.
I appreciate the concept of telling Dylan's back-story along with his comeback story (even if the back-story is way more intriguing), the continuous introduction of series mythology (cannibal zombies, living ghouls that are addicted to vampire blood), and the attempts at giving Marcus a full story despite the brief runtime (I really wanted to like the zombie problems more than I did), but otherwise there isn't much goodwill earned by anyone other than the actors. Routh and Huntington are both charming enough to set slightly above the source material, enough for the film's utter failure to not damage their reputations too heartily (Huntington's character is pretty obnoxious, and a step down from the comic sidekick, Groucho, who apparently couldn't be used due to rights issues), and Diggs does his best with the difficult, mustache-twirler dialogue without ever shining through it. Munroe mostly succeeds in recreating a comic book look with his choice of framing and palette, and the car, gun and wardrobe are true to the source, but the techno clubs and fashion choices are all wrong. The modern timeline is a constant problem. The blatant modernity of the film continuously butts heads with the material's old fashion, hard-boiled nature. Better filmmakers like, say, Guillermo del Toro (I know, way too obvious) have the ability to refer to an environment as modern, but create an 'out of time' feel that makes more sense in a stylized, referential work. Munroe also fails to capture any of his TMNT action chops in live action, which isn't a total surprise given the film's budgetary constraints, but disappointing.
This 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer is more or less exactly what I expected considering the film's age, and the trailer's promise of dark, comic book colour palettes. The standard definition compression rears its head in the form of fuzzy wide-angle details, slightly dulled hues, minor edge enhancement and general compression noise. The noise is usually most persistent on bright, warm colours, like the red of Dylan's shirt. Other hues fair better, such as the omnipresent neon green and blue, but there are definite impurity issues, and signs of bleeding. There's noticeable grain over the entire print, and there are some really awkward gradation blends, but nothing beyond the norm, my Blu-ray eyes just make me notice it more these days. Detail levels are good enough to never create a problem in understanding the frame, and close-ups are generally pretty sharp.
This Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack pulls no punches. Actually, it kind of throws extra punches, or at least makes the current punches a whole lot louder and bassier. This sound mix is, rightfully, hyper-stylized, so every sound deemed important enough to be audible on the track is cranked to relatively aggressive levels. The film's small budget doesn't allow for much in the way of action, but the occasional fisticuffs with werewolves and superzombies are rife with monster roars, air-cutting limbs, and directional momentum. The climax features a few neat rear channel effects as the monster moves behind the viewer and Dylan fires off a few blind rounds. Composer Klaus Badelt's (who, get this, worked on Constantine with Brian Tyler) score is largely nondescript, but it adds plenty of oomph to the track, and fills out the stereo channels pretty well.
It seems that Fox was right to hold Dylan Dog: Dead of Night and dump it with zero expectations, and it seems that audiences were right to largely ignore it. It's not devastatingly bad, but it's mostly boring, and wastes the original comic's neat concept (which has arguably been pounded into the ground by other comic adaptations inspired by the original Dylan Dog books). Brandon Routh, who has gained some real goodwill following Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, doesn't have a chance to flex his acting muscle, but isn't a void of personality as I'd feared from the trailers. The bottom line here is that fans will likely hate what has been done to their favourite character, and non-fans will prefer the antics of Hellboy and John Constantine. This DVD looks and sound fine, but features zero extras.

JENNIFER'S BODY, while obviously not great, was a TRILLION times better than this movie. this movie was mind numbingly awful. i can't even believe that this got made and released while other worthy movies are direct to dvd.

Wow. Even bad movies will come with bonus features, if not pre-release material. This film must have been so bad that everyone involved wanted nothing to do with it after the fact.

VIDEO: Phillip Phillips & Sam Woolf Perform 'Home' & 'Raging Fire' on AMERICAN IDOL
On last night's AMERICAN IDOL, Idol alum Phillip Phillips returned to team up with Idol Finalist Sam Woolf! Check out their collaboration on Phillip Phillip's greatest hits, "Home and "Raging Fire!" Check out the performance below!
No other show in TV history has proven to be a force in the entertainment industry like AMERICAN IDOL. American Idol solidified itself as the No. 1 television show for nine consecutive seasons and, following its 12thseason, still remains a Top 5 program. IDOL is the gold standard and the only TV singing competition show to produce hit recording artists. From the first-ever IDOL winner, Kelly Clarkson, who continues to dominate the charts with three Grammy Awards under her belt, to Season 11 winner Phillip Phillips, whose debut single, "Home," has become the best-selling single of any IDOL to date, American Idol is a bona fide cultural phenomenon. Season 12 winner Candice Glover continues to show the strength of the IDOL brand when her album, "Music Speaks," was the first album from an IDOL to debut in the Top 5 on iTunes when it was issued for pre-order on the night of the series' season finale.
IDOL's impact on the entertainment industry resonates beyond the scope of television. The series has brought generations together with a common goal: to discover the next music superstar. Over the past 12 seasons, IDOL finalists have released more than 200 albums, scored 400 No.1 Billboard hits, garnered more than 250 million iTunes downloads and have been certified with 95 gold and 83 platinum records. IDOL contestants have conquered Broadway, television and film and have won numerous awards and accolades, including American Country Music Awards, Country Music Awards, Grammy Awards and an Academy Award.
As American Idol XIII enters a landmark season in January 2014, the search continues to find amazing talent from across the nation. Hosted by Ryan Seacrest (@RyanSeacrest), and featuring judges Harry Connick, Jr.(@HarryConnickJR), Jennifer Lopez (@JLo) and Keith Urban (@keithurban), along with in-house mentor Randy Jackson (@yo_randyjackson), the series empowers contestants and viewers to share their voices in deciding who will be America's next singing superstar.
Every year, tens of thousands of hopefuls from across the nation audition for a shot at stardom. The show's judges will travel across the country including stops in Atlanta, GA; Austin, TX; Boston, MA; Detroit, MI; Omaha, NE, Salt Lake City, UT; and San Francisco, CA, in search of the next AMERICAN IDOL. They narrow down the competitors to a select group of semifinalists who sing their hearts out each week in front of a studio audience and television viewers.

Our Vision
Our VISION is a world without fossil fuel-derived plastic. Period. We work toward this VISION through the following QUEST and GUIDING PRINCIPLES.
Our QUEST (cue Lord of the Rings music now) is to help as many living beings as possible, including wildlife and the Earth, by encouraging decreased plastic use. We work and play to implement this Quest in the four following ways:
- Helping people find safe, high quality, ethically sourced, Earth-friendly alternatives to plastic products through our online one-stop SHOP.
- Helping people make educated life and purchasing decisions by providing them with INFO and resources on the health and environmental issues associated with plastics.
- Helping people take ACTION by providing ways to take action to decrease plastic use and create tangible change at all levels - personal, local, regional, national, global...
- Having fun embracing the beauty, quirkiness and spontanaeity of life, and laughing a lot while pursuing this Quest. A lifetime is too short not to laugh it forward. LOLellujah!
Four fundamental GUIDING PRINCIPLES lead us on our QUEST:
- Health – We feel everyone has a right to a healthy existence. The environment and our bodies are regularly, and unfortunately increasingly, being bombarded by toxic human-made chemicals. As these chemicals accumulate in our bodies, they disrupt our health, even though we may not feel their actual physical effects for years following the exposure. If we can reduce the amount of plastic-derived chemicals entering our bodies, we believe this is a worthy step in the direction of improved global health. We love to eat, but not plastic.
- Environment – We feel that the Earth, our sacred shared home, also has a right to a healthy existence. The Earth is suffering for the same reason our bodies are suffering. A sacred balance has been disturbed. Humanity's insensitivity and reliance on fossil fuel-based products like plastic cause widespread pollution and energy wastage. If we can decrease the amount of plastic being produced from unsustainable Earth-scarring petroleum and natural gas, and being discarded into Earth-polluting landfills, this is a positive step in the direction of restoring the Earth to her natural, healthy state of being. We have a problem with wildlife being clothed - actually strait-jacketed and choked - in plastic bags and six-pack rings.
- Integrity – We feel all businesses have a duty to treat their employees, clients and suppliers in a fair, respectful and compassionate manner. We feel 'corporate social responsibility' and 'ethical business practices' are not only more important than making money, they are the building blocks of true success. We pursue multiple, balanced bottom lines: environmental, social, financial, eductaional, activist, spiritual (we believe in interconnectedness)… We're green and we advocate washing on a regular basis, but we abhor greenwashing.
- Community – We all share this Earth and this present moment – we are all interconnected. We are ONE. Each person's actions - regardless how small the action may appear - affect the whole. Why not live in a spirit of compassion, sharing and love? We cherish our local, regional and global communities, and are committed to nourishing them and giving back to them as we build meaningful, lasting, plastic-free relationships.
We do our best to follow these principles as we carry out the Quest of Life Without Plastic, yet we are not irrational purists. We are - as Frances Moore Lappé might say - eco-minded possibilists!*
Despite our hopeful vision, we realize that fossil-fuel derived plastics are not going to disappear completely right away. We recognize the benefits of plastic and the important roles it can play in society.
We are committed simply to building awareness about the dangers of plastic and the existence of healthier alternatives for everyday products. Healthier for the Earth, healthier for us all.
Every single one of us can make a tangible difference by taking action in some way to reduce plastic use.
* During an interview, Frances Moore Lappé once said, "I am a dyed-in-the-wool possibilist! By this, I mean with an eco-mind, we see that everything's connected and change is the only constant. From there, something shifts for me. I can see that we're all actually co-creating our future moment to moment — which feels like endless possibility." She describes the concept in more detail in her book EcoMind: Changing the Way We Think to Create the World We Want.

In his op-ed of Dec. 2, Dan Clements notes that the Obama administration provided $163 million in funding to set up Maryland's health insurance exchange, putting it in the top 10 nationally ("A failure of leadership". The reported figure for those that have successfully enrolled so far as less than 5,000. That would equate to a cost, so far, of $32,600 spent on each successfully enrolled Marylander. If this was a business, would that figure be considered cost efficient?

Lacy describes the fertility of the era and location( in his notes to the 3 disc set 'dreams scratching the seventies' on the savarrah lable, with amazement).
Braxton and members of the art ensemble of Chicago lived near by ( lacy reffers to them as the best free improvisors of the day), and lacy was also performing with experimental rock musicians, and electronic composers/ fluxus members such as alvin lucier and Fredrick rzweski who were both along with lacy rotating members of the pioneering electro acoustic improvising ensemble MEV.
All this seems to have informed the bold synthesis of total free improvisation and his distinctive monk influenced , deceptively simple compositional style.
This is album is fairly unique in being one of the few lacy albums one might consider 'free jazz' a very tough listen .. this is edge of the precipice stuff, lacy spins out of his classic tunes some of the most sonically aggressive improvisations of his career.
This one features the expat African American Ambrose Jackson , a mysterious presence (on trumpet) who appeared exclusively on a few albums recorded in paris, then disappeared again (from recording at least).
It would be interesting to know what happened to him, although he is a bit of a bystander on this album, he had a fulsome tone that showed promise and a degree of originality.
I think this is a fantastic album which deserves consideration for a full remastered reissue.
I'd certainly buy it.

With Allen, Bears expect bigger things from 'D'
BOURBONNAIS, Ill. (AP) He was the big prize, the sparkling centerpiece in the overhaul, except Jared Allen wasn't really interested in shining the spotlight on himself on Friday.
When it comes to the Chicago Bears and the anticipated improvement of their defense, he insisted it's about more than just him.
"It's not going to be a person," Allen said Friday. "It's going to be a collective whole. It's going to be the energy of each individual and what they bring to the table."
A five-time Pro Bowl defensive end, Allen brings quite a bit to a defense that ranked among the worst in the league and in franchise history, and his arrival is a major reason why the Bears are aiming higher this season.
The Bears believe they have the defense to back their offense thanks to an overhaul that brought in Allen and several other key players. They believe they can make the playoffs after going 8-8 a year ago and missing the postseason for the sixth time in seven years.
Yes, expectations are soaring in Chicago. And there's no bigger symbol of hope than the 6-foot-6, 270-pound Allen.
That symbol was out there on display Friday as the Bears conducted their first training camp practice.
Coach Marc Trestman said Allen "set the tone defensively" along with fellow newcomer Lamarr Houston and the returning Jeremiah Ratliff.
"You watch the way they move and run to the ball, they really made an effort to show the guy around them how to do it," Trestman said. "That was clear through his performance today. (Allen) not only started fast, (he) finished strong."
The Bears brought in Allen to provide just the sort of spark they missed last season, when a long list of injuries and poor play hurt a defense that usually ranked among the league's best under former coach Lovie Smith.
In Trestman's first season, it was a different story.
Key players such as Henry Melton, Lance Briggs, Charles Tillman and D.J. Williams got hurt, and what transpired was simply hard to envision given the franchise's history.
While the offense thrived, the defense couldn't stop anyone. Chicago ranked 30th overall and that barely tells the story.
The Bears tied Jacksonville with a league-low 31 sacks, and when they weren't getting to the quarterback, they weren't doing much to stop the run, either. They gave up 2,583 yards rushing on 5.3 yards per carry – both club records. But they believe the defense will look more like the "Monsters of the Midway" than the one that was just scary bad.
The Bears have star power with Allen up front, Briggs at linebacker and Tillman and Tim Jennings at cornerback along with enough depth even if there are some concerns. Safety remains one. There are questions at linebacker, too. But there's a different look, and with that, a belief that the Bears are poised for bigger things.
"I think they understand what last year was," Allen said. "They understand the injuries and stuff like that. They know every year rests on its own. … I think everybody's just kind of growing together. They're excited to get out there and play ball. I think everybody sees the ability and what we have on paper. But that doesn't necessarily mean anything. You've got to go out and you've got to make it happen. So we're excited for it."
Allen comes in with seven straight double-digit sack seasons and is showing few signs of slowing down. That's why he's here and Julius Peppers is now in Green Bay.
While Peppers struggled last season, Allen had 11 1/2 sacks for Minnesota. The Bears signed him to a four-year deal that guaranteed $15.5 million, replacing one star pass rusher with another.
"They do some things similar – how they approach practice," defensive tackle Stephen Paea said. "That's how you know these guys are for real."
Where Peppers and Allen veer in different directions is when it comes to speaking up. Peppers is quiet; Allen is more vocal.
"I'm going to encourage a guy, I'm going to help young guys out if they want it," Allen said. "But the way I'm going to lead is I'm going to show up to work and I'm going to put my best on the field and I'm going to expect the guy next to me to be his best."
NOTES: The Bears signed OL Dylan Gandy to a one-year contract and waived DE Jamil Merrell. Gandy has appeared in 120 games and made 19 starts over eight seasons with Indianapolis (2005-07) and Detroit (2009-13). He has played guard and center and contributed on special teams. Merrell was an undrafted rookie from Rutgers.

As President Barack Obama starts his second term, the bond market is already telling him that the administration's forecasts for economic growth over the next four years are too optimistic.
The Office of Management and Budget predicts yields on 10-year Treasury notes will rise to average 4.1% in 2015 and 4.9% in 2017 as the economy expands at about a 4% rate in the second half of Obama's term. Bond prices suggest the yield, now at about 2%, will average below 3% two years from now, implying that gross domestic product will fall short of OMB projections, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
While Obama's legacy may depend on a recovering economy, the bond market is signaling GDP may not in the next few years exceed the 3.3% annual average of the decade preceding the financial crisis and tax revenues will fall short of what the president needs to close the budget gap. That's not all bad news because Treasury borrowing costs just above last year's record lows mean easy credit for consumers and companies as well as sustained demand for riskier assets such as stocks.
"Clearly, the bond market is on one end of the spectrum and these guys are on the other end, believing rates are going to go up so fast," Priya Misra, the head of U.S. rates strategy at Bank of America Merrill Lynch in New York, one of the 21 primary dealers that trade with the Federal Reserve, said Feb. 8 in a telephone interview.
Not 'Normal'
"The 10-year yield rising to about 5% in four years is too optimistic," Misra said. "Maybe you could argue that rates are a little depressed now, given inflows into bond funds and the Federal Reserve's debt purchases, but this is nothing like a normal recovery."
Market expectations reflected in bond yields are consistent with the median estimate of 84 economists in a Bloomberg survey who say the U.S. will grow 2.7% in 2014. The OMB forecasts 3.5% next year.
The clashing views come after the 10-year note yield fell as low as 1.38% in July and averaged 1.79% in 2012, the lowest since the debt was first issued in 1953. The next threat to Obama's forecast is looming as Congress faces a March 1 deadline to avert spending reductions of $1.2 trillion over nine years that may cut growth in 2013 by half, according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office.
Colin Kim, director of the Treasury's Office of Debt Management, noted the divergence between the market outlook and his agency's assumptions during the government's regular quarterly meeting with the Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee on Feb. 5, according to minutes posted on the Treasury Department's website.

Foster gives the Huskers commitment No. 8
Nebraska received some more good news on Saturday night at their annual Big Red Weekend event.
NU received a verbal commitment from Lincoln (Neb.) Southeast offensive lineman D.J. Foster, who chose the Huskers over offers from Georgia, Florida, UCLA, among others.
"I was sitting down and I didn't go to any of the planned things," Foster said. "I was pretty much on my own for the day and I was sitting thinking how my week was last week. Me and my family were trying to set up our plan to go see other schools and I just wasn't interested in going around and seeing other people.
"My parents could tell that's how I felt too. I didn't know it at that point, but as the day went by and I was thinking about it I figured I needed to sit down and think more about committing."
After soaking in the day had to offer, Foster said the fact that his older brother Trey Foster is already part of the Husker program made his decision that much easier.
"I talked to myself and I said 'what doesn't Nebraska have to offer? ' I couldn't figure out one thing and they had one thing other people didn't have, which was my brother," Foster said. "It just felt right, so that's why I committed."
Foster said even the Nebraska coaching staff was somewhat surprised he decided to commit on Saturday night.
"They were definitely surprised," Foster said. "They expected it though and were just happy for me."
With Foster's commitment, NU has now locked up the top three in-state players in Nebraska according to Rivals.com's state rankings for 2014.
Foster joins Gretna offensive lineman Mick Stoltenberg and Lincoln Southeast safety Luke Gifford as in-state commits in NU's 2014 recruiting class.
Foster is the sixth different player to verbally commit to Nebraska since June 7. He is also the fifth different Lincoln Southeast player to commit to the Huskers since 2010 joining Jake Cotton, Sam Cotton, David Sutton and Gifford.
"It's going to help me out now focus on my football season," Foster said now that he's committed. "I'm going to have to put my mind on that now that recruiting is done with it."

"Troll Hunter" is a Norwegian film about a group of students who hunt trolls. See where they got the name from? Well the clever PR folks have put up an official application so you can become an honorary troll hunter. Sounds awesome, right? Sure the entire application is in Norwegian but who doesn't speak that these days. Those Viking lovers are so hot right now.
To capture the magic of Bill Murray's appearance in "Zombieland" the makers of "Zombieland 2" are currently on the hunt for a star of equal caliber to make a surprise appearance. No surprise there, unless you haven't gotten around to seeing the first film yet in which case I apologize for ruining the surprise for you. I'm a bad person.
Here's a trailer for "Grave Encounter's", a new found footage film about a group of reality show hosts who go around looking at haunted houses. The catch is apparently they actually find something. Not like those ass clowns on "River Monsters", they haven't found one actual monster.
Am I the only one who still gets Judd Nelson and Robert Downey Jr. mixed up? I can't be. Well anyway here's a trailer for the new sci-fi/horror flick called "Shadow People" staring "Iron Man" himself. Wait, no... the other one. Which one was in "The Breakfast Club"? Yeah that one, he's the guy in this movie.
Dan Aykroyd has fired off some info around the upcoming "Ghostbusters 3" film and here's a short run down. Bill Murray and Sigourney Weaver are still in. Bill Hader, Anna Faris and Eliza Dushku are still maybes. And lastly no confirmation on me, but I assume my offer is coming any day now.
Not being of the literary sort, my response to anything involving "Sherlock Holmes" usually begins with a yawn and ends with a nap. For that reason, I was totally disinterested in the upcoming film adaptation of the popular series.

Despite a brutal election cycle, lingering concerns about these tough economic times, and weather patterns that prompted an alarmingly active fire season, conditions in Durango in 2012 were remarkably positive.
As a community that draws a significant portion of its financial health from those who visit the region and spend money here, Durangos sales-tax numbers show that the anemic days of the recession receded somewhat for the year, with at least a 5 percent increase in revenues compared with 2011. That suggests that both visitors and locals were doing a bit better this year than last, and in spending more, they increase local governments ability to fund projects and services important to residents.
One of those projects was the USA Pro Cycling Challenge, a much-hyped event that drew investment from the city to the tune of $50,000 as well as countless lesser ponies-up from business owners who prepared for the never-to-arrive promised hordes of 25,000. Despite the crowd that was not to be, though, the event was great fun, and we gave ourselves a very good time. Whether it was worth it is a question mostly settled now, but in the golden glow of reminiscing, the race was a top-notch to-do for local cycling enthusiasts and those who visited.
The communitys ability to draw locals and visitors out for various gatherings showed its growing strength in 2012. Oktoberfest, Taste of Durango, Durango Cowboy Poetry Gathering, the return of the Durango Double and the Durango Independent Film Festival are just a few of the iconic events dotting the calendar each year. While some of these might not thrill all downtown merchants, they serve a greater purpose of bringing together the community to experience new artistic, cultural, gastronomical or athletic experiences. That there is often a fundraising component attached to these events adds to their collective positive value. We look forward to more in 2013.
This year has been one of beginnings for longer-term investments in the community. Mercury, after a contentious series of negotiations, finally broke ground on its new facility near the Durango Mall. This project signals the companys commitment to Durango and the community should take great pride in this homegrown success that has evolved to be a leading employer and innovator here far beyond.
Mercury CEO Matt Taylors business administration degree from Fort Lewis College is a testament to that institutions effectiveness and importance to the community. In 2012, FLCs enrollment increased 1.5 percent compared with the previous year a welcome sign in times of waning numbers for colleges and universities.
Though there was much good in 2012, it was not all so rosy. A very dry, hot beginning to the summer, reminiscent of a decade earlier when Missionary Ridge Fire blazed out of control across more than 70,000 acres, brought about a lackluster year for the agricultural community and a frightening fire season. Fortunately, though, the close-in fires that erupted at Lightner Creek and X-Rock were quickly contained, and no structures or lives were lost. The Weber Fire near Mancos exceeded 10,000 acres, but damaged just one structure. Things could have been far worse.
Largely, 2012 reminds us that despite challenges our community faces, and we each face individually, we rise to meet these challenges with creativity, energy and optimism.

Golf Tidbits: Rose proves that he is Philly tough
Philadelphia, PA – In a four-year span, Justin Rose has conquered two of the hardest courses in the Philadelphia area. If Pine Valley, the top-ranked course in the country, were to host a PGA Tour event in the coming years, my money would be on Rose.
The AT&T National was contested at Aronimink Golf Club in 2010 and '11, and in his eight rounds there, Rose broke par in five of them. He won the 2010 playing of that tournament and endeared himself to the locals.
Fast forward to 2013 and Rose returned to the Philadelphia suburbs to take on the East Course at Merion Golf Club. The club was hosting the U.S. Open, which generally is played under firm and fast conditions with thick rough.
The latter was in play, but Merion was far from firm and fast after more than five inches of rain fell on the course in the 10 days leading up and including the first day of the championship.
As television coverage kicked off for the championship, there was a montage about Philly toughness. Bobby Clarke, Allen Iverson, Chuck Bednarik and Chase Utley were among those named.
Not many think golfers are tough, but you probably wouldn't say that to their face, especially if you were talking to Lee Westwood or Tiger Woods.
Rose, all 6-foot-2 and 180 pounds of him, doesn't look very tough, but he becomes tough to beat when you put him on a tough golf course.
The conditions at Aronimink for the AT&T National were tough. When Rose won, the course was in U.S. Open-like shape with firm fairways and hard, fast greens.
He came to Merion not knowing what to expect because of the rain. The greens at Merion were fast, as one would expect, but the fairways and greens were soft from all the rain. The rough, well, it was U.S. Open rough at its best.
Rose never shot worse than 71 over his four rounds at Merion, and fought off a pair of major champions and several of the top players in the world to win his first major championship title.
One of those who Rose fought off was Hunter Mahan, the only player in the field with two rounds in the 60s. Rose also toppled third-round leader Phil Mickelson, who finished second for a record sixth time.
Rose said he had a plan in place to earn his first major championship, and it worked in short order.
"I committed myself to putting a strategy in place that I hoped would work in five to 10 years in delivering major championships. And I tried to strike on that feeling the first week out, first time I tried and tested it to come out with the silver," Rose explained.
The plan worked, but the cynic in me asks why hadn't he done such a thing sooner. Rose, you may recall, shared fourth at the British Open as a precocious 17-year-old.
Rose, now 32, has had top-five finishes at all four majors prior to his victory at Merion. His share of third last year at the PGA Championship had stood as his best finish in a major.
Along with his titles at Aronimink and Merion, Rose has won at other tough venues such at Cog Hill and Muirfield Village.
The tougher the better works for Rose. Winning a golf tournament is a tough task, but it isn't the toughest thing Rose has done in golf.
Rose overcame one of the worst starts in professional golf history: He missed the cut in his first 21 starts.
He has overcome that, and now stands as the first Englishman to win the U.S. Open since Tony Jacklin in 1970.
That helped make him one tough Rose.
Karma had to be on Mickelson's side as he entered the final round at the U.S. Open.
First, it was his birthday, so you knew he'd receive the majority of the fan support. Second, he won three of his four major championships titles having entered the final round as the 54-hole leader.
Sunday, Mickelson was in that position for a fifth time.
Unfortunately, Mickelson couldn't stay away from the big numbers in the final round. Through the first three rounds, Mickelson's worst score was a bogey.
He had eight birdies, seven bogeys and 39 pars through 54 holes at Merion. Then a funny thing happened on the way to his coronation.
Big numbers got in his way for the first time all week. A tee shot into the sand at third, and a poor bunker shot led to a double bogey. Mickelson's tee ball at No. 5 was playable, but inside a hazard line.
He pitched down the fairway, but walked off with yet another double bogey. The two came in a three-hole span. If he cut them to bogeys, like he had in the third round on those two holes, Mickelson could have forced a playoff with Rose, the eventual champion.
Instead, it was more heartbreak for Mickelson. This may have been his best chance to win the Open, but it certainly wasn't his last chance.
Mickelson will be back in the mix at Pinehurst next year, but will he be able to seal the deal?
If he learned anything from this defeat, it was to stay away from the big number for 72 holes, not 54 like he did at Merion.
* Tiger Woods seems to complain about the speed of the greens every time he loses, especially at majors. The only major in which green speed normally isn't an issue is at the British Open, where the putting surfaces tend to be on the slow side. Maybe he needs that to break his five-year drought in the major.
* If you're looking for a potential winner of the British Open, consider Jason Day. He has three second-place finishes in 11 major championship starts. The British is the only major in which Day doesn't have a top-10 finish, but the way he is playing this year, that could change soon.

LONDON (AP) — A 22-year-old member of the Anonymous movement has been jailed for 18 months for taking park in high-profile cyberattacks on several major financial companies' computer systems.
Self-described "hacktivist" Christopher Weatherhead was convicted last month of conspiracy to impair the operation of computers. The attacks hit the sites of MasterCard, Visa, PayPal and several others.
Prosecutors said Weatherhead and his fellow conspirators targeted companies in the music industry involved in combating Internet piracy and companies that had stopped processing online donations to the secret-busting site WikiLeaks.
One co-defendant, 28-year-old Ashley Rhodes, was jailed for seven months. Another, 24-year-old Peter Gibson, received a suspended sentence.
The cybercrime spree focused attention on Anonymous, a loose-knit collection of Web-savvy activists and Internet pranksters.

Bride Causes A Stir After Wearing NO Make-up On Wedding Day
When you think of your wedding day, your mind probably boggles as you think about what you're going to wear, what you're going to do with your hair and make-up - and everything in between.
But for one bride, she had less stress than the rest of us, as she chose to go make-up free for her big day.
And she's caused QUITE a stir!! Yep, Bisola Umoren from Lagos, Nigeria has gone absolutely viral.
Ms Umoren went make-up free for her big day because, she said, she is 'not the make-up type'.
The stunning photograph of the bride was then shared on Twitter by user, Bra Kofi, where it was swiftly re-tweeted more than 1200 times.
Speaking to Nigerian news outlet, Naij, Ms Umoren explained her reasoning for having a bare-faced wedding. She said: 'When my husband first met me, I had not had my bath, but he saw and fell in love with my natural look.
She continued, 'I'm not the make-up type. I don't like any form of inconvenience or discomfort on my face, my neck and entire body. 'It is not a church thing, it is just me and my personal decision.'
Go girl!

South Essex Community Council Hosts Clinics to Help Low-Income Residents
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - March 5, 2012) -
Volunteer Leamington-area Chartered Accountants are holding a series of Free CA Tax Clinics for residents with low incomes on during March. As part of their commitment to the community, Chartered Accountants are working with the South Essex Community Council in Leamington to help people by doing their taxes free of charge.
To qualify for this free tax return assistance, total household income must be less than $35,000 with dependents or less than $25,000 without dependents. People who qualify can book an appointment at these clinics by contacting Noreen Wiebe at 519-326-8629 ext. 381.
Free CA Tax Clinics are a tradition for Chartered Accountants that date back to 1969. Today, they're held across Ontario from mid-February until the end of March. Last year, hundreds of volunteer Chartered Accountants and their associates helped low-income people receive much-needed tax credits and refunds by preparing almost 13,000 income tax returns.
These Free CA Tax Clinics operate in co-operation with a variety of agencies - including food banks, charities, hospitals, senior centres and homes, community centres, social service agencies and libraries. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario offers additional support to these agencies by providing them with an honourarium based on the number of tax returns prepared. This helps the agencies carry out their valuable work.
Reporters are invited to the clinics to learn more about the Free CA Tax Clinic program, the work of CAs in your community and the importance of filing tax returns, especially for people with low incomes.
About the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario:

Mamas, why let your babies grow up to be cowboys when they can be political consultants? Herding voters instead of cattle pays better, and if they win, these roving guns generally follow their candidate into a prestigious White House job. If the current crop of top campaign advisers is any measure, neither losing a national race nor burning out on the campaign trail dents your job prospects.
Can we tell anything about the candidates from their choice of consultant? A White House hopeful's pick is an important early economic decision as well as a political one: A professional campaigner these days commands a fee of six percent or more of the campaign budget. It's no wonder that even the contenders who are running against the system are associated with experienced, well-tested GOP campaign hands.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Mike Blaszczyk of St. Francis (Ill.) has been selected as the NAIA National Men's Outdoor Track Athlete of the Week and Seth Derr of Bethany (Kan.) has been named the NAIA National Men's Outdoor Field Athlete of the Week, the national office announced Wednesday. Blaszczyk and Derr were selected based on their performances from April 21-27.
Blaszczyk, a senior from Novi, Mich., clocked the fastest 10,000-meter time in the NAIA this season at the 48th Annual Hillsdale College GINA Relays on April 26 in Hillsdale, Mich. His time of 29:48.15 was good for third place behind Johnnie Guy (29:29.67) and Tyler Pence (19:47.76) of NCAA Division II Southern Indiana. Blaszczyk finished 10th in the event at last year's national championships.
Derr, a freshman from Phillipsburg, Kan., set the Bethany school record in the javelin with a throw of 63.87 meters (209.55 feet) at the Drake Relays on April 25 in Des Moines, Iowa.

Continue Reading Below
With the holidays just around the corner, it might seem as if your life is dominated by shopping, cooking, decorating and attending parties, but there's one major item that you can't afford to overlook: your budget.
Baby boomers often find themselves combating a long gift list, but it's important that we plan, prioritize and create and stick to a budget so we don't end up carrying in debt into the new year. I have a tradition of heading to the mall Christmas Eve to find the best deals. My wife on the other hand, shops early and online and doesn't have to leave the family room. I am following her lead this year.
Digital marketing agency Response Mine Interactive recently released a survey showing that boomers plan to snub plastic this holiday season with 85% of us paying cash or writing a check for holiday gifts. Brick-and-mortar stores will be happy to learn from the survey that 34% will head to actual stores to s hop, compared to 13% who prefer to shop online.
I spoke to Ken Robbins, founder and CEO of Response Mine, about the survey's findings and get some expert shopping tips for boomers:
Boomer: As we head into the holiday season, what shopping habits and trends did the survey find for baby boomers?
Robbins: First, our survey showed that boomers love to shop in stores. The trend of "showrooming" has been a big story this past year and companies like Best Buy (NYSE:BBY) have been suffering under the spector of customers browsing and handling product in stores, but walking out and buying items online at a discount. Our survey showed that boomers like to visit and buy in the store, and that provides a huge opportunity for brick and mortar retailers.
Adding to this trend, boomers overwhelmingly prefer to use cash or check to buy. As they march toward pre-retirement and into retirement, boomers are no longer the credit generation. They are more fiscally conservative. However, this should not dissuade companies from trying to woo them: boomers have 7X the discretionary purchasing power of Gen X and Gen Y combined.
Finally, a big key to boomers is customer service and the shopping experience. They are much less tolerant of bad service and since often they have more discretionary time (meaning they can shop off-peak hours if they choose) retailers should staff up all day.
Boomer: What advice would you give to our boomer readers on how to budget for this holiday season?
Robbins: Find coupons online and use them in the stores. Sites like Fatwallet, RetailMeNot and Coupon Cabin are filled with brand-name discounts that can be printed ahead of time, or do a quick search on a smartphone or tablet for coupons while waiting in line to check out.
Boomers with smartphones should download a price scanner app to use find the retailer offering the lowest price on an item. Often, stores will match a price so be sure to point out lower prices to a manager.
Boomer: What did the survey show about marketing to boomer and senior shoppers?
Robbins: Don't show images of old people. Seriously, to boomers, 50 is the new 38. Show active lifestyle shots. Companies should not even acknowledge age in advertisement copy unless it is about Medicare or a serious health issue such as arthritis. Other than that, it's a mistake to think that their age matters or is even held in high regard.
Marketers should also use easy-to-read fonts. The older the target, the shorter and bolder the headlines should be with more white space. Even in a retail store, it's very frustrating to have to squint to read a label.
Finally, our capacity and intelligence does not diminish with age, but the speed at which we consider things does. That means hyper-cutting a TV commercial is less informative and more annoying to a 60-year-old shopper. Also, bring out important information in a print ad with bold and cut out boxes.
Ignoring the boomer generation is a big mistake by marketers. Boomers' kids are graduating from college and that's freeing up time and money. Boomers stand to start inheriting $15 trillion from their parents, which increases their spending power. This generation is active, often more fit than the previous generation at the same ages, and still self-reward. That means spending on travel, housing and food and leisure will all be up.
To appeal to boomers, marketers should use self-reward messaging ("you deserve it") to sell luxury and experience--advertising as the "boomers brand" is often a concerning strategy. Companies want to be associated with youth and sex appeal. In these cases, they should consider direct marketing like direct mail, email and other digital advertising, because these are more discreet channels than broadcast. Here's an example: Spanx continues to promote itself as the sexy lingerie-shapewear brand in print and packaging, but sending direct mail offers to middle-aged women.
Finally, although our surveys showed a bias for shopping in store, seniors and boomers are on the internet. They research heavily and companies should work to provide easy-to-consume content on a product or service in order to grab their attention and persuade them to consider the product.
Boomer Did you find a greater number of baby boomers entering the online world as consumers?
Robbins: Sure, but the percentage is still less than Gen Y and Gen X. While we're more likely to start shopping online, we still "consume" in store
Boomer: What was the methodology behind the survey?
Robbins: RMI performed a self conducted survey utilizing our mature market internal database. We used both telephone and online surveys to collect the data needed, and 434 respondents were contacted via telephone and 214 respondents completed an identical survey through email. Findings for total respondents are significant at a 95 percent confidence level and with a +/- 3.72 percent margin of error.

It is possible that the main title of the report Conversion Disorder is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Conversion disorder is a mental illness characterized by the loss or alteration of physical functioning without any physiological reason. These physical symptoms are the result of emotional conflicts or needs. The symptoms usually appear suddenly and at times of extreme psychological stress. A lack of concern over the debilitating symptoms (la belle indifference), which commonly accompanies this illness, may be a clue to distinguishing it from the physiological disorder it may mimic.

Asuka. And she doesn't emo all over everyone about it too. Kudos for that.
Row Row Fight the Power!
Nanaka because of all that happened with the fire and seeing her dad is not really her dad and the one who died was really her dad.
Gaara and Sasuke
UlquiHime is forever!!!!
For me its Al and Edward Elric from FMA ^^
i missed my spOt ~ ♥

Asuka. And she doesn't emo all over everyone about it too. Kudos for that.
lucy definitely had the worst, but asuka had the second worst.
wonders where the next step is...
Higurashi-Satoko: I always feel sorry for her sense her hole clan was always hated, she killed her own parents, beaten to a plump by Shion with a book, her bother has a virus and he doesn't really have a chance on being ceared, her uncle beats her to death, and in one episode she got stabbed to death by Mion!
Tetsu-Peace maker:Watching your parents die in front of you and getting mentally scarred for life, almost killed by your friend, ear almost cut in half, knew the guy you killed didn't kill your parents...
Naoya-Night Head Genesis:Trust me he really, really, really tells you not to wish to read people minds... and thats all I have to say about him.
All I can think of thats not towards Naruto and the bad childhoods. XD
I'm always online! DUH!
the person who got the worst childhood will be mostly every boy in naruto, the evangelion kids( shinji and everyone), and the two main characters in sukisho
hurry up honey. come home.:)
as much as i hate the show Naruto his child hood sucked
have not been on this site in over a year wounder if its still the same?
SASUKE his whole family got killed.... i dont think anything can top that for bad childhoods. o.O
back from Kansas, and chillin
gaara, he didnt even have a proper family... at least sasuke had ppl to care for him
well, i think Enma Ai from Jigoku Shoujo. Her life ended when she only 7 years old just becuz her village believed that sacrificing a young girl who just turned 7 would make their harvest better.... Then she was forced to become the Hell Girl. If she refused then her loved ones will suffer for whole eterninty and that if she doesn't do her job every thing that she hold dear to her heart will perish. She had to take people to hell whether if they didn't do something wrong for 400 years.
And even maybe Akito/Agito from Air gear. Man, his own brother used him as a weapon. and his own best friend betrayed him. No wonder he has 2 personalities
Sasuke Uchiha from Naruto. He watched his beloved brother kill the whole Uchiha clan in one night. Itachi even tried to kill him.
And defenently Lucy from Elfen Lied. God, she had a really sad and bloody childhood. I'm not suprised that she bacame a murderer. I would have done the same thing. If someone would even dare hurt my dog, i'll rip their hearts out in an instant.
xx kenshin himura xx
Everybody talks, everybody listen, but it's always the truh that comes up missin
i would say sasuke and gaara
Playing COD MW2 lolz xD
Akito, and Rin from Fruits Basket.
they didn't have friends or anything.
until tohru came.
but rin did have haru.....but her parents still left
gaara too...he never had anyone!
Lucy from elfen lied because.. well other people had already stated why.. n i can't be bothered.
And pardon me for being very unoriginal abt this but, Gaara:
Dude is a monster from birth
Got no friends
His dad wants to kill him
The only guy he thought cares about him betrays him
That same guy told him his mom died hating him
Before blowing up to pieces and try to kill him as well
lol if i was him i'd be an emo too.. that's some hardcore emo stuff in there
i'm a bamf!! *rawrr*
gaara and naruto...
*sniff* *sniff*
i feel for them..
love-love taecyeon!

Young passenger injured in Rochester rear-end collision near high schoolBy John Quinn
Union Leader Correspondent
February 15. 2013 1:29PM
ROCHESTER – A young passenger was sent to the hospital after being involved in a rear-end collision near Spaulding High School Thursday.
Police, firefighters and emergency personnel responded at 4:34 p.m. after a northbound blue 1992 Ford pickup truck, driven by Krista Lombardi – no age or address given - struck the rear of a black 2006 Toyota Scion, driven by Luann Hill, 59, of Rochester, along Wakefield Street, Route 125.
Investigators determined the accident happened as Hill was waiting to turn left into Spaulding High School.
Paramedics transported a juvenile, who was a passenger in the Scion, to Frisbie Memorial Hospital for non-life threatening injuries. No information was available about their age or condition.
As both vehicles sustained only minor damage, they were able to be driven from the scene, according to police.

Criminal charges against an psychiatrist who shot several cattle in eastern Oregon shouldn't be dropped simply because he paid the owners, according to the prosecutor trying the case.
Joel Rice, 56, is charged with five counts of first-degree aggravated animal abuse, two counts of first-degree animal abuse and seven counts of criminal mischief.
Rice has admitted to shooting seven cows that had wandered onto his property near La Grande, Ore., but recently filed a motion to dismiss the case because he paid $47,500 to the livestock owners. All but one cow died.
Mona Williams, special deputy district attorney for Union County, Ore., has laid out her arguments against the dismissal in a court document filed Nov. 6.
"The criminal laws are designed to address the need for punishment and deterrence as well as restitution," she said. "The state concedes that the issue of restitution has been resolved. However, the criminal case should proceed so that Dr. Rice can be held accountable for his actions and the general public gets the message that cruelty to animals is not acceptable."
Several laws enacted by the Oregon legislature, as well as legal precedents, indicate that animals should be treated as "unique victims" of abuse, "rather than as inanimate property," Williams said.
If criminal charges are dropped due to financial compensation, then there "will never be a set of circumstances where the owner of an animal will be convicted of animal abuse or neglect," she said.
The prosecutor also said the dead cows were shot in the ribs or stomach and died in a "painful and stressful manner."
None of the dead cows were found in Rice's driveway — where he claims to have shot them — nor were any spent bullet casings found at that location, she said.
Capital Press was unable to reach the attorney for Joel Rice for comment as of press time.
The document that Williams filed noted that Rice never reported trespassing cattle to sheriff's deputies or the Oregon State Brand Inspector, even though he was provided with information about his rights when his property was annexed into a livestock district in 2002.
In livestock districts, livestock owners must fence their cattle in to prevent trespass. In open range areas, it is up to the property owner to fence livestock out.
Rice shot the cows on Aug. 12 but made "no disclosure to the owners" until after the carcasses were found, she said. He admitted to shooting the cows when confronted by a sheriff's deputy who had come to serve a warrant at his property on Aug. 29.
When contacted by Capital Press, Williams said these factual elements are significant but she would refrain from comment until oral arguments on the motion to dismiss. The hearing has not yet been scheduled.

Feds cite pay violations by Omaha country club
Feds cite pay violations by Omaha country club
OMAHA, Neb. —
Federal regulators say Omaha's Happy Hollow Club has paid nearly $66,000 in back wages to 38 workers who weren't properly paid overtime or were required to turn a percentage of their tips.
A news release from the U.S. Labor Department said Tuesday that the club violated several provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
The department says the club wrongfully took a percentage of the tips to help pay people who cleared tables. The club also didn't follow guidelines on minimum wages after the tips totals were added to the $2.13 an hour in direct wages. And the department says some employees' time records weren't maintained.
The department says the club has agreed to comply with the regulations.
