When my mom was in town last weekend, we got some gorgeous flowers at Trader Joe's. They are Christmas colors and I felt it was appropriate to put them in front of our Christmas tree. I must say that I'm totally in love with the two lenses I purchased while in NYC last Friday. They produce that gorgeous bokeh that you see behind the flowers. Yum-o!
I was adventurous last week and made homemade red velvet cupcakes. The frosting I ended up using was a complete wash, so I gave them another try this week. I did a slight variation on her cream cheese frosting – and I'm proud to say this was my first successful attempt at homemade frosting/icing.
Red Velvet Cupcakes – from Apple A Day – originally from Cake Man Raven – I got 24 cupcakes
2 1/2 c. cake flour
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1 TBSP cocoa powder
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 1/2 c. vegetable oil
1 c. buttermilk
2 TBSP (1 oz.) red food coloring
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. white distilled vinegar
Preheat oven to 350°.
Sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, cocoa, and salt into a medium bowl.
Beat eggs, oil, buttermilk, food coloring, vanilla, and vinegar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until well combined. Add dry ingredients and beat until smooth, about 2 minutes.
Divide batter evenly between 3 greased and floured 8″ round cake pans (or a lined cupcake pan).
Bake cakes, rotating halfway through, until a toothpick inserted in the center of each cake comes out clean, 25–30 minutes. Let cakes cool 5 minutes, then invert each onto a plate, then invert again onto a cooling rack. Let cakes cool completely.
Sugar Cream cheese frosting – adapted from Joy the Baker
3/4 cups butter, softened
4oz cream cheese, softened
1/8 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch of salt
2-4 cups powdered sugar
1-3 tablespoons milk
depending on desired consistency
Cream the cream cheese in an electric mixer for 1 minute. Scrape down the bowl and add the butter, beating for 1-2 minutes, or until incorporated. Be sure that the two are at room temperature. Cold cream cheese or butter can make your frosting lumpy.
Add the sugar, pinch of salt and vanilla extract, and beat until incorporated.
Turn off mixer and add 2 cups of powdered sugar. Turn the mixer on a low speed so the sugar doesn't fly out of the bowl. Slowly add more sugar alternately with the milk until you reach your desired consistency.

NZ's Labour Party back in front: poll
Page Tools
New Zealand's Labour government appears to have regained ground in a see-sawing campaign ahead of next week's general election, according to a new opinion poll.
Tonight's 3 News-TNS poll put support for Prime Minister Helen Clark's Labour Party at 45 per cent, up six points, and 36 per cent for National, down five points.
The latest figures clash with the results of other recent surveys that had put the Nationals as much as eight points ahead of Labour after leader Don Brash unveiled across-the-board tax cut proposals last week.
Brash has said the tax cuts will help stem a flow of up to 600 Kiwis leaving NZ for Australia every week.
He also called for a rethink of the current policies meant to help minority groups, including Maoris.
Under New Zealand's complicated proportional voting system, neither major party is likely to be able to govern alone and will have to seek coalition partners from minor parties after the September 17 election.
Labour's most likely partner, the Green Party, got seven per cent in the tonight's poll while New Zealand First, headed by maverick MP Winston Peters, hovered at the five per cent threshold of getting MPs back into parliament.
Adding to the electoral volatility, Peters said today New Zealand First would not be part of a coalition government with either Labour or National.
Clark has hailed the latest polling figures.
"The TV3 lead is quite a big one but averaged out across others I think we're still looking at a positive outcome," Clark told the broadcaster.
Brash said: "Polls are volatile, we expected them to be volatile at the beginning of the campaign and I expect that will continue."
Commentators say votes are flowing away from minor parties to major parties because the differences between Labour and National are now more distinct.
"This time, instead of 30 per cent (of the total vote) being split among the small parties it'll be half that, if that," Auckland University politics professor Barry Gustafson said.
National's chances of getting the numbers for a ruling coalition were dealt a blow by New Zealand First's announcement it would stay on the cross benches after the election.
Its leader Peters said he would support the party with the most number of seats on confidence and supply in exchange for backing of his key policies.
"Let me be clear, we have no preference between (Labour or National) so we will not be endorsing one over the other," Peters said.
"We don't think there's sufficient common grounds to base a formal coalition on and we're not prepared to compromise our principles simply to pursue the perks of office."
Peters had previously refused to reveal his post-election intentions, but the evaporation of support for the anti-immigration New Zealand First during the election campaign forced his hand.
He says the move is to clear up that question so the party get more attention for its policies, which include improving law and order and benefits for seniors.

text: This excellent solo record by My Morning Jacket guitarist Carl Broemel is a rare thing: a woodsy little indie-folk record that refuses to brood. On All Birds Say, Broemel spreads cheer with every pluck of his acoustic guitar, singing short, endearingly sweet songs about love, nature, drinking wine and other worthy topics. Broemel writes hooks that sneak up on you through simple singsong melodies. His lyrics sound like hippie beatitudes: "Everybody's on the way/Whether or not they know it. . . . /There is space in the garden." Even his come-ons are beatific. "Let's go home and be friends," he chirps in "Heaven Knows." And then he bursts into a whistling solo.

If anybody deserves to treat himself to an extra cookie, it's Go On's Ryan King (Matthew Perry).
After all, the dude's wife recently died in a car accident. But on the Oct. 9 episode of the just-picked-up-for-a-full-season NBC comedy, Ryan's support group grows concerned that the dryly funny sportscaster has entered the dreaded stage of grief known as compulsive eating.
As the exclusive clip below shows, it's a stage each oddball member of the group has experienced, though Ryan refuses to believe it applies to him. "I've had many hard times," reports resident blind man George (Bill Cobbs), seeing right through Ryan's denials, "and the good people at Pop-Tarts have a variety for each one."
Still, it's group-therapy leader Lauren (Laura Benanti) who tends to go on (and on) about a certain sweet treat we're betting wasn't part of her successful Weight Watchers plan.
Go On airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m.
(E! and NBC are both part of the NBCUniversal family.)

Why Is Mike Huckabee Autographing Bibles For His Campaign?
The New York Times opens up this morning's article on Mike Huckabee's use of religion to promote his presidential campaign with the innocuous headline, Between Pulpit and Podium, Huckabee Straddles Fine Line. Yet, the photograph at the top of the article directly contradicts the headline. The photograph, taken by Yana Paskova for the New York Times, but which is not shown in the online edition of the New York Times, shows Mike Huckabee signing his autograph on the inside cover of a boy's Holy Bible.
Here's the photograph (sorry for the poor resolution – I don't have a good camera on me today):
Who the heck does Mike Huckabee think he is, putting his autograph on the Holy Bible at a presidential campaign rally? Does he think that he wrote the Bible? Is he making an edit to the Book of Revelations?
Whatever line Mike Huckabee is walking in mixing religion and politics, this photograph shows quite clearly that it isn't a fine one. Huckabee's faith-based arrogance gets more outlandish with every passing week. Promising to reshape the Constitution to make it conform with right wing Christianity certainly isn't walking the fine line either.
The editors of the New York Times should have seen the discrepancy between their moderate headline and Mike Huckabee's religious extremist reality.

Freethunk! – Cartoons Edition, Collected from 2000 to 2009
Revised and Expanded,
Available for Purchase on Amazon or through the Kindle App
The Freethunk book collection has been revised for Kindle's new format with panel zooming and restored cartoons. Previously I had published the book, originally in print, in two digital volumes due to the amount of data it might take to download. Data is pretty cheap these days so thankfully I can put it into one volume with two cartoons to a page in a landscape layout (similar to the cartoon books I grew up on, like The Far Side). With panel zooming, my book can be read on everything from Kindle to an iPad to a smartphone.
If you've never read Freethunk, the cartoon series started in 2000 and ran regularly up until about 2009. You'll find favorite cartoons from the series scattered across the web as they've been reposted a multitude of times, claimed by other sites as their own and debated in forums. Revising the book was a bit of a rescue operation as I had to dig through back-up files to find reprintable versions of the original artwork–as well as clean them up digitally. I'm sure the reader will also be able to tell the early cartoons from the later cartoons. As most cartoonists will tell you, their artwork progressively improves with each drawing and we cringe at how bad our inking was in the beginning. But with cartooning the idea is more important than the drawing (or at least in my opinion) so slap the idea down on paper any way you can and move forward!
The purpose of the cartoon series, as an ex-Christian, was to have a sense of humor about religion and pseudoscience mainly aimed to entertain unbelievers, but I can tell you that Christians and other faiths have had a chuckle too even as they frown on certain cartoons that maybe cross a line. So I don't want to scare people of faith from buying it, but let's face it, whether it's humor for the sake of humor or an editorial cartoon, Freethunk has been deemed blasphemous and offensive.
These days it's not hard to find cartoons and humor on religion or entertaining material for atheists, agnostics and unbelievers of varying degrees. Back when Freethunk started it wasn't as common and I found my cartoons generated more backlash and rejection. You could say there is a blasphemous nostalgia about the entire collection.
The next publishing project will be revising The Littlest Atheist for Kindle (which can still be read on this site for free) and then organizing Freethunk comics (strips and full size comic book pages done over the years) into one edition (another rescue job). Considering the ease of publishing with Kindle I would like to see other artists with freethinking cartoons and comics do the same. I occasionally receive emails from readers who ask what happened to such and such artist that I featured on the site and I normally have to respond that they simply disappeared along with their artwork.

As we anxiously await the draft signing deadline (July 13th) and the non-waiver trade deadline (July 31st), here are some whispers from around the league...
- Ryan Dempster very badly wants to pitch on Sunday before the All-Star break. "I think they trust me", said Dempster. That would certainly accelerate the process of showcasing, and eventually, trading Dempster. You can bet that if he does take the mound, there will be plenty of scouts there to watch and see if his velocity shows he's back and ready to pitch. If Dempster cannot go then Chris Volstad makes the start.
- The Cubs will listen on offers for Bryan LaHair tweets Jon Morosi, but the price remains high because the Cubs don't feel the need to trade him. He's played well in the OF and he has given the Cubs a nice power trio with Anthony Rizzo and Alfonso Soriano. He's also cheap and cost controlled and giving the Cubs a lot of surplus value right now.
- Speaking of Alfonso Soriano, Cleveland is looking for RH power hitters and Soriano certainly fits the bill. The Indians are expected to look at Carlos Quentin, who may be the top RH hitter on the market given his production and expiring contract.
- Buster Olney (insider only) says that the Cubs were actually second behind the Rangers in the bidding for Japanese RHP Yu Darvish. It is a distant 2nd, however, as no team bid within $35M of the Ranger's winning bid of $51.7M.
- Olney also says that Texas will be in the market for the big starting pitchers. Presumably that includes Matt Garza, but would also include Zach Greine and Cole Hamels if they become available. Texas has a boatload of prospects to offer and it seems that recently they have been willing to include top 3B prospect Mike Olt to get get a top pitcher in return. The Cubs, of course, would also like to beef up their pitching depth. Other teams looking for pitching include the Yankees, Red Sox, Tigers and Braves. The Orioles, Diamondbacks and Cardinals could also look for some pitching. Olney mentions the Nationals as a possibility as Stephen Strasburg's innings limit approaches.
- Jim Callis of Baseball America tweets that he expects the Cubs to sign both Albert Almora and 2nd round pick RHP Duane Underwood before the deadline.

Rent-to-own Homes
When you say rent-to-own, the first thing that comes to your mind is being wise. The thought of being in a win-win situation. Rent-to-own homes is a wise idea for many Filipino citizens now-a-days. This is where the consumers can feel that they aren't losing something yet they can gain something in the end. Let us define rent-to-own in the first place. Rent-to-own is also known as a rental-purchase; rental-purchase of housing, furniture, appliances, electronics and more. It is like borrowing something but in the end you've decided to own it. A rent-to-own differs from the traditional lease, wherein traditional lease do not have the right to purchase the property from anytime during the agreement.
Here in the Philippines, rent-to-own is mostly associated with housing such as apartments, townhouses and more. Why are there so many citizens that prefer rent-to-own homes Philippines? First, because they are in a win-win situation wherein if they have already decided to buy the house then all their rent will be counted as payment. The consumers have the right to purchase the property from anytime during the agreement. Second, they have lesser commitment of paying the property, because they know that it is written on their agreement that they are not obliged to buy the property and pay the full price of the house. There is a feeling of turn-on-a-light-pocket. The mind set of many consumers that they are just renting means it will be a lighter responsibility.
Rent-to-own house and lot is a hit in the Philippines. On the same line of reasons many Filipinos can feel that purchasing a rent-to-own house and lot is a clever decision. This is where you can have property which allows you to a limited and temporary property but is potentially renewable which depends to an agreement. It is like hitting two birds with one stone. If you agreed to buy the house-and-lot property, then all your rents will be counted as payment. An advantage of rent-to-own house and lot is that it will give the consumers the sense of paying your rent in equivalent to paying for your property monthly.
Philippines' Context
Rent-to-own house has another meaning for Filipinos. It also means 'within your means' housing projects. Rent-to-own houses have low down payment method and do not need big cash-out from the consumer. One of the advantages of this rent-to-own housing is that it may not require the consumer a minimum salary, making more number of consumers avail to the rent-to-own housing project. Its pleasantly surprising low-price features a no balloon payment and a uniform monthly equity. Another is that the down payment is stretched-out in terms of months to pay making it more affordable and easy-pocket to consumers. It may also have an easy developer-assisted financing that makes the package totally complete helping the consumers invest for their future.

Bellevue says it will soon install cameras to catch drivers who run red lights and break school-zone speed limits.
Other cities, including Seattle, have installed the cameras, and Bellevue is calling its experiment a pilot program.
The City Council approved the program this week. Cameras will go up on spots, which Bellevue hasn't selected, on Northeast Eighth Street, Bel-Red Road and 148th Avenue Northeast to catch red-light runners.
Cameras that will catch speeders will be near Stevenson, Lake Hills and Sunset elementary schools. Those cameras will have a speed-monitoring device.
More cameras could be installed if the pilot program is successful.
There will likely be a warning period for drivers, said Greg Grannis, spokesman for the Bellevue Police Department. After that, police could issue citations for violators.

Leafs dominate Blackhawks to snap skid
TORONTO -- Toronto Maple Leafs center Peter Holland admitted that he was thinking about a hat trick when he had a breakaway in the third period on Saturday.
Leafs dominate Blackhawks to snap skid
TORONTO -- Toronto Maple Leafs center Peter Holland admitted that he was thinking about a hat trick when he had a breakaway in the third period on Saturday.
The problem was, he missed the net.
That was about the only thing that went wrong for the Maple Leafs on Saturday.
With Holland and left winger Joffrey Lupul scoring two goals each, the Maple Leafs snapped a three-game losing streak with a 7-3 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks.
"When I crossed the blue line it was going through my head, put it that way," Holland said. "I don't know if it kind of rolled on me -- but I missed the net, that's what happened. I'm sure my buddies will be on me for not scoring on it but the biggest thing is we won tonight."
Right wingers Jerry D'Amigo and Phil Kessel and left winger Nikolai Kulemin also scored for the Maple Leafs (17-14-3). Left winger Mason Raymond added four assists and Lupul had two assists.
"We were not very good," Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. "They were much better than us. We got what we deserved tonight. We still got ourselves back in the game, 1-1 at the start of the second period and put ourselves in a decent spot."
Right winger Patrick Kane scored two goals and left winger Brandon Saad added one for the Blackhawks (23-7-5), who had a three-game winning streak snapped.
"We really felt we needed a win," Lupul said. "It's a hard stretch for us, a lot of games in a short stretch of time so Saturday night at home with a day of rest, we came into the game feeling like it was pretty close to a must-win for us"
Goaltender Jonathan Bernier stopped 25 shots for the Maple Leafs while Chicago goaltender Antti Raanta stopped 20 of 25 shots before being replaced by Kent Simpson to open the third period.
Simpson, who stopped five of seven shots, was scored upon at 0:28 of the third period on Lupul's second goal of the game and 10th of the season as the Maple Leafs stretched their lead to four goals.
Saad scored his 12th goal of the season at 7:38 of the third, but Kessel answered with his 17th at 8:35.
"It's always nice to see your team supply enough offense so that you can actually breathe at the 10-minute mark of the third period," Maple Leafs coach Randy Carlyle said.
Toronto scored early and often in the second period to take a 5-2 lead. They went ahead 2-1 at 0:42 of the second period after D'Amigo scooped in the rebound off a shot by Kulemin. It was his first career NHL goal.
"You guys can't see it but I'm just going crazy inside here now," D'Amigo said.
Holland's second goal of the game and his fifth of the season put the Maple Leafs into a 3-1 lead at 12:09 of the second period. He was set up by a backhand pass from Raymond.
"We know (Holland) is a skilled guy, we know he can score," Carlyle said. "It was nice to see him get his."
Kane scored his second goal of the game and 19th of the season on a wrist shot from the right faceoff circle at 13:30 of the second to cut the lead to 3-2 after a Toronto turnover.
"We tried to fight back and get ourselves into it but it was too little too late," Kane said. "It's tough when you go through those penalties, it kind of messes up the momentum of the game and the flow."
The Maple Leafs regained a two-goal lead at 14:36 when Kulemin scored his fourth of the season on a pass from the corner by center Jay McClement.
Lupul deflected a point shot by defenseman Jake Gardiner on a power play at 17:08 of the second to give Toronto a three-goal lead. Center Andrew Shaw was off for tripping.
The Maple Leafs had the first three power plays of the game and scored on the second one at 7:14 of the first period. Holland, perched on the right side of the goal, converted a goalmouth pass from Lupul for his first goal of the game. Shaw was off for tripping.
The Maple Leafs' first two penalties of the game gave the Blackhawks a two-man advantage. They capitalized on the opportunity to tie the game at 1. Kane was given credit for his first goal of the game at 16:14 of the first after his pass deflected into the net off the stick of Maple Leafs defenseman Dion Phaneuf. Holland and Raymond were serving minor penalties at the time.
NOTES: Maple Leafs RW David Clarkson began a two-game suspension on Saturday for his hit to the head of St. Louis LW Vladimir Sobotka in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Blues. ... D Dion Phaneuf returned to the Toronto lineup after serving his two-game suspension for his hit from behind on Boston D Kevan Miller in last Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Bruins. ... Blackhawks G Corey Crawford (groin) and G Nikolai Khabibulin (lower body) remain sidelined and LW Bryan Bickell (knee) has resumed practicing but is still a week or more away from a return. ... The Blackhawks acquired G Jason LaBarbera from the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday in exchange for future considerations and assigned him to Rockford of the American Hockey League.

It's been a little chilly the past few days here in Forney. For a few days in a row the temperature didn't rise above freezing which means that all the snow and sleet that fell left an icy mess over area roads. Forney City offices were closed for two days, and even now snow is falling in Forney. At least today it's pretty and the roads are clear.
In Forney Country, my go-to reference and constant desktop companion here at the museum, there's a graphic titled "Mother Nature Acts up in Forney Country" on page 16. It lists many natural disasters that occurred in this area back to the 1850s including cold spells, heat waves, droughts, tornados, dust storms, and even a plague of grasshoppers. One in particular stands out this week:
"1899 – Great Cold Wave of February 11. Mercury plunged to -10 degrees at Dallas. Livestock froze to death in their barns. Soil froze a foot deep."
That's cold. That's almost unbelievably cold, at least for Texas. It is the record cold for Dallas (actually listed at -8 degrees on an unofficial website, but still pretty dang cold). I'm not sure I can imagine what temperatures that low feel like. I've got thin skin and thin blood, and pretty much anything below 50 degrees is freezing to me. I don't feel much difference between 50 degrees and 20 degrees – cold is cold.
But it got me thinking about the coldest I've ever been. It's a little hard to say since I generally choose warmth and try to avoid cold weather destinations. My family got caught in the "Blizzard of '93" during Spring Break in Tennessee. We were supposed to be touring the Smokies in places like Knoxville and Gatlinburg but the roads froze over, leaving my parents, two brothers, my sister and me stranded and spending the night on the highway in our Oldsmobile waiting for them to clear. That was pretty cold. (The next day we turned south to visit my grandparents in Key West instead. Good call.)
I went to Lake Tahoe a few years ago in December. I remember that there wasn't much snow; we were able to go skiing but not snowmobiling. For the record I'm not a very good skier, but at least the physical activity of skiing (and falling) kept me from being cold on the slopes. It did feel desperately cold, however, on the quick trips across the street between the casinos after dark. Not enough hot toddies in Nevada to cut that chill. But still, that was maybe a 6-8 minute walk between two heated modern buildings. Not exactly roughing it.
But what's the coldest I can imagine? Watching "Dr. Zhivago" or "The Thing"? The ice apocalypse of "The Day after Tomorrow"?
How about being stuck in an iced-in ship in northern Canada searching for the Northwest Passage and waiting months or even years for the ice pack to break? We have a winner.
A book by Anthony Brandt details that very scenario when telling of the disastrous expedition led by Sir John Franklin in 1845 and the numerous rescue missions sent to find him afterwards. The book is titled The Man Who Ate His Boots: The Tragic History of the Search for the Northwest Passage. The title actually refers to an earlier expedition Franklin led from 1819-1822 in which, spoiler alert, some of the men go for so long without food that they resort to eating their boots. And that's not the worst of it. Not by a long shot.
Take this passage about the mild winter the earlier expedition experienced:
"The lowest recorded temperature was 57 degrees below zero, but runs of 40 degrees below were common enough, and during January and February the thermometer never once rose above zero."
Yikes. It's worth reiterating that that was considered a mild winter in northern Canada.
The 1845 expedition consisted of two ships, John Franklin's Erebus and Francis R.M. Crozier's aptly named Terror, and 129 men. They sailed in 1845 for what was supposed to be a 3 year journey and never came back. Beginning in 1848 and for the next 10 years, numerous rescue and salvage missions sent by the British Royal Navy and private financiers found little trace of the ships. Eventually the sad fate of the crew was determined from Inuits and a few notes left in a cairn. The ships had become beset in ice in the fall of 1846. The crew debarked them in 1848 and trekked overland in hopes of finding food, friendly tribes, or a long-abandoned cache of supplies. Rescue missions were able to find only some relics, silverware, and bones.
The book is rather depressing, and not just for the accounts of cold and hunger taken in letters and diaries left from men on this expedition and others. The whole undertaking of finding a Northwest Passage was a sort of unfulfilled manifest destiny. British sailors were unprepared for the conditions, overloaded with supplies that eventually had to be abandoned, and ill-equipped to survive without the help and assistance of natives, whose advice they regularly dismissed. The ironic part is that many of the best maps and discoveries relating to northern Canada's topography came from those searching for John Franklin, not the Northwest Passage itself.
At any rate, I'll refrain from complaining about the cold and ice this week. Certainly others have it worse, like the eastern US where the storms have turned deadly. I'll just bundle up with some hot tea next to the vent from my gas furnace and consider myself lucky. Maybe I'll re-read Brandt's book on the arctic. Better yet, I'll wait until July when I could use a break from the heat.

Juventus have made a surprise move for Paraguay winger Marcelo Alejandro Estigarribia. "I'll sign for a Serie A club."
Just hours after agreeing a deal with Cesena for Emanuele Giaccherini, it seems that the Old Lady have lined up their second left-midfielder for boss Antonio Conte.
"I'll be playing in Italy," stated the 23-year-old. "I've been asked to not name the club before everything has been agreed.
"My agents are already in the country to finalise everything and I know the nature of the contract. I'll arrive on loan with the option to buy."
Although Estigarribia didn't name Juventus, it's no secret that the Copa America star is on his way to Turin.
The South American is actually contracted to French club Le Mans, but he spent last term on loan in Argentina with Newell's Old Boys.
The loan of the player has cost Juve around €450,000, while the option to buy clause is reportedly set at €5m.

Italy interior ministry owns earthly paradises
By Philip Pullella
ROME (Reuters) - Whenever Italian Interior Minister Giuseppe Pisanu wants a respite from the rigors of protecting the country's borders and preventing terrorism, he can turn to master artists like Caravaggio or Giotto for solace.But Pisanu is not just another art lover.
Due to a series of quirks in Italian history, his ministry -- and not the Vatican or the Roman Catholic Church -- actually owns some 700 of Italy's most famous basilicas, cathedrals, churches and monasteries and all the masterpieces inside.
"Although my job is to look after Italy's security I find it just as exciting to be able to promote and protect our immense artistic heritage," said Pisanu, who has begun a campaign to make Italians more aware of the ministry's role.
Priests, monks or nuns living in the buildings look after the souls of the faithful, but a special department of Pisanu's ministry pays attention to more worldly things like the plumbing, the plastering, and the restoration of works of art.
Walk into the church of Santa Croce in Florence or the splendid ceramics-covered cloister of Santa Chiara in Naples and you are actually stepping onto a property owned by the Interior Ministry's "Fund for Places of Worship."
When Italy was unified between 1860 and 1870, the papacy lost a huge swathe of territory known as the Papal States.
They stretched from the Mediterranean near Rome and ran northeast to the Adriatic coast -- a landmass that is now occupied by five of Italy's 20 modern regions.
In the decade after 1860, the papacy's land holdings were reduced from about one-fifth of the mainland Italian peninsula to Vatican City, a patch of earth smaller than some urban parks.
In the highly charged, anti-clerical atmosphere of the late 19th century, the pope declared himself a "prisoner of the Vatican" and refused to recognize the new state.
The liberal government of the newly formed Kingdom of Italy issued a number of laws against what it saw as the "subversion of the ecclesiastical axis."
Religious orders were suppressed and many of their properties confiscated but authorities of the fledgling nation let the properties remain open to the public for worship.
Few Italians knew then -- and perhaps even fewer know now -- that the only thing that changed was the ownership of the portfolio.
And what a mouth-watering property portfolio it is.
One of some 15 properties the Interior Ministry owns in Rome is the Basilica of Santa Maria del Popolo, home of two masterpieces by Caravaggio -- "The Crucifixion of St. Peter" and "The Conversion of St. Paul."
The Basilica of Santa Croce in Florence houses works by Giotto and the Jesuit church of St. Ignatius in Rome has a statue of an angel sculpted by Bernini.
Apart from churches, the fund also owns a number of Italy's breathtakingly beautiful and historically significant abbeys, such as one in Vallombrosa in Tuscany and a huge natural reserve near the border with Austria.
The list goes on and is enough to make any art lover dizzy.
The proceeds to maintain the properties come from various sources, including rent from some 10,000 apartments and other pieces of 'civilian' real estate the fund owns throughout Italy.
Other income includes some 2 million euros ($2.5 million) a year from an income tax scheme under which Italians can contribute about 0.8 percent of their income tax payments to a religion of their choice.
The fund also gets money from the European Union, private sector donations, foundations, and from advertising space on billboards on scaffolding around churches under restoration.
The fund is run for the minister by Francesco La Motta, who rose through the ranks of the police and interior ministry.
"This is perhaps the most satisfying job I have ever had in the civil service," he said. "In a sense, I am still involved in security because I help protect our artistic heritage but this gives me a very broad vision of our country."
Pisanu and his aides have been trying to make the fund's endowment better known to Italians and visitors.
The ministry has organized a day of celebrations that will be held on February 23 in many of the properties.
They will include special masses, concerts, and readings by famous actors. Exhibitions of some of the best art works owned by the fund will also be held in Rome, Florence, Bari in southern Italy and Cagliari in Sardinia.

(Updates with Saturday developments in Washington) U.S. stock indexes fell on Friday as the September 30 deadline for an emergency budget deal in Washington to avoid a Government shutdown loomed ever closer.
While most Wall Street analysts still expect the usual last-minute deal to avoid the shutdown at midnight on Monday, time is running out.
A major sticking point is Republican opposition to the funding of the Affordable Care Act, President Barack Obama'shealth care reform.
House Republicans on Saturday agreed to pass a continuing budget resolution until December -- but only if the President's health care reform is delayed for a year and key amendments are made to it. Democrats are viewed likely to reject the demands. In an unusual move, a series of votes are expected later on Saturday.
President Obama has urged Congress to meet two deadlines in the coming days and weeks. First it must pass a short-term budget by midnight on Monday (September 30) to keep the government open.
Then, Congress must also agree to raise the United States' $16.7 trillion debt ceiling -- by October 17 at the latest -- so America can pay its bills and avoid a default.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew has warned the politicians that the United States will exhaust its current borrowing limit no later than October 17, when it would have only $30 billion cash on hand.
But it was more company-specific issues that affected many stock prices on Friday.
United Continental Holdings fell about 9.3% after reports the airline cut its third-quarter forecast for an important revenue number.
J.C. Penney dropped about 13% as the retailer began selling shares to raise up to $932 million.
Accenture fell about 2.35% after reports the consulting services company forecast revenue below analysts' estimates.
Slot machine company International Game Technology fell about 7% after an analyst's downgrade on the stock.
Nike shares, though, rose about 4.7% a day after it reported strong quarterly earnings.
On Friday, the Dow Jones industrial average fell 0.46% to 15,258.20. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index dropped about 0.41% to 1,691.75. The Nasdaq edged lower about 0.15% to 3,781.59.
For the week, the S&P 500 fell 1.1%, the Dow was down 1.3%, but the Nasdaq was up 0.2%.

In the world of supercomputers, where the top machines can cost upwards of $100 million, $1.1 million may not sound like much. To Thomas Sterling, chief scientist at the Center for Research in Extreme Scale Computing (CREST) at Indiana University, it's a sum that will go a long way toward funding his favorite project.
The Department of Energy awarded that amount to Indiana University's CREST last week to fund three years of work on the XPRESS (eXascale Programming Environment and System Software) project. CREST is collaborating with work going on simultaneously at Sandia National Laboratories and several other universities and research labs. The overall goal is to enable the creation of exascale computers.
HPCwire caught up with Sterling to discuss his role in the endeavor and what it means. As usual, he has some bold and controversial opinions on the future of supercomputing.
XPRESS, based on the ParalleX parallel computation model, is being designed to enable highly parallel processing. Collectively, the work being coordinated at Sandia, according to Sterling, represents "the single most important program in high performance computing that there is."

A MAN jailed for a brutal attack on a 76-year-old grandmother has been stripped of assets worth £17,590 under a Proceeds of Crime Act confiscation order.
Derek Clark, 32, was sentenced last December for the attempted murder of Mary Coulter in her home in Overtown, near Wishaw, North Lanarkshire. He received ten years, with another five years for a separate assault on a man.
Previously, Clark, of Ashgill, South Lanarkshire, had been jailed for five years and three months for being concerned in the supplying of cocaine. It was in relation to that offence that confiscation proceedings were taken against him.
The High Court in Edinburgh heard that Clark's proceeds from general criminal conduct had been £377,000 but his realisable assets amounted to £17,590.
Mrs Coulter suffered two broken arms, a fractured skull, and deep slash wounds after three men entered her house looking for her son, Ronnie. Clark had wanted revenge on Ronnie Coulter for allegedly terrorising his family.
Ronnie Coulter was one of three men who were acquitted of murdering waiter Surjit Singh Chhokar in Overtown in 1998.

Falcons Announce Roster Moves
February 4, 2013 - American Hockey League (AHL) - Springfield Falcons News Release
Springfield, Mass. - The Springfield Falcons announced on Monday that defenseman Cody Goloubef has been recalled by their NHL affiliate, the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Falcons also revealed that they have recalled defenseman Patrick Cullity from the ECHL's Idaho Steelheads.
Goloubef scored in each of Springfield's victories over Syracuse on Friday and Connecticut on Saturday this past weekend and has 10 points (4g-6a) in 21 games with a +9 rating in 2012-2013. A third-year pro, Goloubef has played in one NHL contest in his career, going scoreless and posting a +1 rating in 6:00 of ice time for the Blue Jackets on Mar. 31, 2012 in St. Louis.
Goloubef has skated his entire AHL career with the Falcons, accumulating 39 points (10g-29a) in 119 outings. He set career highs in his rookie campaign of 2010-2011 in goals (5), assists (12), and points (17).
A native of Oakville, Ontario, Goloubef was selected by Columbus in the second round (37th overall) of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft. He is in the final season of a three-year NHL entry level contract with the Blue Jackets.
Cullity has skated in six games this season with the Falcons and is scoreless with a -1 rating. He has played in 27 contests this year with Idaho, garnering eight points (2g-3a) with an even rating.
A third-year pro, Cullity played the majority of the 2011-2012 campaign with the Falcons, posting his first-ever AHL goal and adding eight assists for nine points while checking in at +1 in 44 contests. Cullity also participated in five games with the Abbotsford Heat and in 20 outings with the ECHL's Utah Grizzlies last year, notching one assist each with the two clubs.
In his rookie season of 2010-2011, Cullity saw action in 71 of 72 games with the ECHL's South Carolina Stingrays, scoring two goals and adding 15 assists for 17 points, tying for second among the club's defensemen in scoring, and sharing the team lead at +14.
Cullity, a product of Tewksbury, Mass. commenced his professional career with Syracuse at the end of the 2009-2010 campaign, playing in five games with the Crunch. He is under a one-year AHL contract with Springfield.
Eastern Conference-leading Springfield is back in action next Friday, Feb. 8, as the Falcons welcome the Albany Devils to The Nest at 7:00 p.m., presented by Mohawk Communications. Fans in attendance have the opportunity to win a brand new, high-definition television courtesy of Manny's TV & Appliances as part of "Flat-Screen Friday."
The Falcons close out next weekend on Sunday, Feb. 10 at 3:00 p.m. when they host the Portland Pirates. The first 1,000 fans in attendance will receive a free Falcons baseball hat, courtesy of the University of New Haven.
Single-game tickets to see the Falcons in 2012-2013 can be purchased at the MassMutual Center Box Office from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. through game time on Saturday home dates, and starting four hours prior to Sunday home contests.

RB Intermodal Manages Large Amounts of Data and Improves Operations with the Trimble's Telematics Solution
RB Intermodal, a company located in Gerona, Spain that specialises in logistics solutions for the international chemical product transport market, has equipped its truck fleet with Trimble's CarCube telematic solution.
Manage your transport data
Do as RB Intermodal and discover the advantages of the CarCube solution.
Contact us for more information or ask for a private demo.
The CarCube on-board computers provide much more than precise geolocation of the RB Intermodal fleet in Spain.
"It has been our intention to provide the Spanish fleet with all the functionalities available in the system, which enables us to manage a large amount of data," explains Raoul Bogerd, general manager of RB Intermodal for Southern Europe.
"We opted for CarCube across the board," said Bogerd. "We have remote tachograph downloads, driving analysis via the Performance Portal, onboard scanners to send documents, satellite navigation and even mobile apps for independent haulers and subcontracted firms."
Before choosing the CarCube solution, RB Intermodal devoted a great deal of time evaluating the various options on the market.
"We spent nearly two years evaluating products from the best-known suppliers and we short-listed the three main ones; in the end, we selected the Trimble solution," said Bogerd.
Bogerd highlighted several features of the CarCube solution:
"The CarCube is a highly capable system and preforms to its specifications. It's a complete system. "We don't need one company for communication, another for management. Now, we have it all with Trimble."
RB Intermodal also highlighted a feature of the Trimble telematics solution to which it attaches a great deal of importance:
"With the Performance Portal Web application, we are able to analyse driver behaviour, which enables us to look after the vehicle engines as well as the environment—details of environmentally-friendly driving are very important to us."
Country Manager Iberia for Trimble Transport & Logistics, Juan Pablo Yanguas, said:
"It is very important for us to provide close collaboration and support to companies so that the CarCube can seamlessly link to their existing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system."
"I am highly satisfied with Trimble, because there is great customer service: the people carrying out system implementation have helped us a great deal and they have proved highly competent," said Bogerd.
About RB Intermodal
Established in 2009, RB Intermodal specialises in flexible and sustainable logistics solutions throughout the supply chain to the chemical and mining industry on a global scale. It does so by offering complete and socially responsible projects for distribution by road, intermodal transport or container and silo storage and management for the chemical sector. RB Intermodal relies on road haulage companies Benangels in Spain and ROMS Transport in the Netherlands and is expanding rapidly in the U.S., UAE and Asia.

Conservatives mock the liberal ideal of a "living Constitution" but there is no better example of it "than the conservative recasting of the Second Amendment" that gave individuals, not just militias, the right to bear arms, says Jeffrey Toobin in The New Yorker.
Original intent says militias bear arms
5 Responses
The 2nd amendment does not say that *only* militias have the right to bear arms, but it clearly states it's "the right of the people" to do so. Different courts provide their own interpretations of original intent based on politics and personal views of the members of the court. The issue is that weapons at the time were so much more primitive than weapons today so the 2nd amendment did not provide limitations on the amount or type of arms individuals may possess. There are avenues to make further amendments to the Constitution instead of battling gun control issues back and forth in Congress and asking courts to interpret, reinterpret, and re-reinterpret the Constitution.
A) Not True
B) Even if it were true it's a moot point after Heller vs DC and recent other rulings against Chicago and Circuit Courts recently saying concealed carries are a-ok (as they should be).
C) This person has obviously never read the Federalists Papers. The whole point of the Second Amendment is to keep the government in check because an armed populace will not tolerate tyranny. EVERY tyrant disarms their population. Name me one despot that let their people keep and bear arms freely.
Chad9976, great points. I agree. Additionally, as a member of the militia (Air National Guard) and a citizen of the United States, where do I fall? Do I get the right to own guns when my neighbors don't? Should only police have them? When someone breaks into your house with a gun who do you call? It's someone else with a gun and you pray they get there in time. Gun's in America is a reality; we aren't going to change the over 300 million guns already here. Social responsibility, safety, and help for the mentally ill are the best possible solution. Our Constitution is not to blame. Guns are not to blame. Video games and movies are not to blame. It is the person who pulls the trigger.
Chad9976 – the question remains if the 2nd amendment is still applicable these days. The considerations discussed in the Federalist Papers are based on views and experiences in a world centuries ago.
Even if we accept the notion that the populace is to be empowered to resist tyranny then how the heck is this implemented today? The point of allowing citizens to bear arms is to be able to form a well-regulated militia to secure the free state. Are folks who have a dozen assault rifles at home in any way well-regulated or securing the free state? I also doubt that preventing tyranny by installing another form of tyranny (trigger-happy gun huggers) is a plausible approach.
The only effective means to combat potential tyranny is to have well-regulated militias. In my opinion we have this in form of local police, state police, and national guard. All three operate independently and are controlled by democratically elected administrations. Citizens are free to join these organizations as well as actively take part in regulating them.
When the 2nd amendment was crafted there were no such well-regulated militias. None of the municipalities had a standing police force and the states had neither state police nor national guards. The context back then was totally different and undoubtedly heavily influenced by the demeaning conditions the colonists were put under by English rule. Basing today's realities on century old views is the same as still insisting that the earth is flat.
As far as every tyrant disarming the population, that is not true. And these days it is irrelevant if the population has guns or not when tyrants like Saddam Hussein can drop biological and chemical warfare out of airplanes onto the regions where people disagree. The Kurds had plenty of guns available, but they did not help them at all.
Another example is the Third Reich under Hitler. Except for the groups that were declared enemies of the state all other citizens were almost forced to bear arms. Did this stop the tyranny? No, because the majority first was all in favor of the Nazis and later dared not so speak up for fear of their life – even with guns aplenty available to them.
Guns are made for one purpose: to shoot with greatest accuracy and effectiveness. The sole intent is to kill with one shot. Guns and those who advocate for them to be freely available are to blame for the incredible amount of gun violence in this country. Less guns means less violence.
The recently deceased Robert Bork, who was as conservative as one can get, strongly believed the intent of the 2nd amendment was to protect the right of citizens to join state militias, and by extension the legal right for states to maintain them. He did not believe the intent of the 2nd amendment was to allow everyone access to hollow point bullets, armor piercing bullets, or assualt weapons.
Chad: Please cite for me the exact wording in the 2nd amendment that the purpose of the right to to allow citizens the right to an armned rebellion against the government, because I don't see it. You know why, BECAUSE ITS NOT THERE! Furthermore, given George Washington's squelching of the Whiskey Rebellion, which was an anti-tax revolt, its clear that at least one founding father, Washington himself, would disagree with you.
And Chad, I'm pretty sure Bork knew more of the federalist papers than YOU!
Only in the wet dreams of right-wing gun nuts are guns not the issue after yet another a mass murder. The failure of our gun laws is that they are consitantly picked apart by special interest groups so that there is not one cocnsistant law throughout the land. Hopefully, now we will be able to correct it.
So, yes, gun las have not stopped gun violence, so the tea party response is to get rid of them, all of them. Well, we also have laws against rape, but rape still happens, should we therefore also get rid of laws against rape?
Well, considering the tea party/GOP response to questions about rape I suspect their response would be same as their response to gun control laws.
Laws make people reposnibile for their actions, but I guess accepting responsibility for your actions is not on the Tea/Party GOP agenda anymore.

If you are in a marriage you are not happy with then you are the one to chngae things for you.It is always comforting to find someone that you think cares for you when your partner does not show the same feelings.I would recommend some hard thinking.. if you don't want to stay in this marriage then go to a counselor or therapist who can help you sort yourself out.Being involved in any way with your boss is NOT a good thing. Is he married as well?? Even if he is single it is better to either get out of your marriage first and then evaluate what you really want from a relationship.Energy therapy such as EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a quick and drug free therapy that can help you sort yourself out emotionally. You can find out more from these web sites below.

Six Staples High School students captured prizes in the Southern Connecticut Invitational Science and Engineering Fair Feb. 8 at Newtown High School.
Some 240 students from 11 public and private high schools competed, sponsors said. Prizes were awarded for both completed projects and for research proposals in four categories -- behavioral sciences, environmental sciences, health sciences and physical sciences.
Staples had a strong showing in environmental science categories, where four of its six prizes were won.
Staples prize winners were:
Kristen Onorato: The junior won first prize in the Environmental Proposal category for "Developmental Effects of Grafting Leguminous and Non-Leguminous Plants."
Xiaotian Zhang: The sophomore won first prize, in the Physical Proposal category for his "Sunspot Temperature Profiles as a Proxy for Magnetic Field Strength."
Virginia Gerig: The freshman won second prize in the Environmental Completed Project category for "Plant Material Effectiveness on Metal Chelators."
Dominic Wynter: The junior won second prize in the Physical Proposal category for "Orbital Stability of Multiple Hot Jupiter Planetary Systems."
Sam Chinitz: The sophomore won third prize in the Environmental Proposal category for "Optimal Braking Strategies for Energy Recovery in Autonomous Cars."
Jeffrey Burns: The senior received honorable mention in the Environmental Completed Project category for "Feeding Behavior of Squilla Empusa in the Long Island Sound."
In a keynote address, Westport resident David Pogue, host of the PBS series "NOVA ScienceNow" and other shows, shared anecdotes about frightening and humorous moments in filming and screened video that was not aired.
The fair is sponsored by the Southern Connecticut Science & Engineering Foundation, which began the competition in 2001.

An agreement that resolves the taxpayer's tax debt is called an "offer in compromise." This agreement is between a taxpayer and the IRS. By accepting less than full payment under certain circumstances, the IRS has the authority to settle, or "compromise," federal tax liabilities.
For the complete OIC policy statement, see IRS Policy Statement P-5-100. The objective of the OIC program is to accept a compromise when it is in the best interests of both the taxpayer and the government. This helps promote voluntary compliance with all future payment and filing requirements.
Many taxpayers have come to Carr Law for relief from IRS problems. Carr Law has the experience submitting Offers in Compromise that you should expect from tax lawyers. While all results are not typical, we have settled debts for much less than the amount our clients originally owed, saving them as much as 95% of their tax liability. Our firm is standing by ready to help you to begin preparation to submit an Offer in Compromise.
