Parliament voted overwhelmingly today for a proposal that could one day ban the traditional British sport of fox hunting.
After a boisterous five-hour debate, and with supporters of blood sports parading outside in country tweeds and red hunting jackets, the House of Commons backed a measure calling for an end to hunting with hounds. The vote was 411 to 151.
Despite the 260-vote margin and a new poll showing nearly three quarters of the public behind a ban, the proposal will not become law because it was not given the required time for parliamentary debate and for committee review by the Government and must therefore await a place in the legislative calendar in the years to come, or possible inclusion as an amendment to Government legislation this year.
The young administration of Prime Minister Tony Blair has been concerned that the high emotion surrounding the issue could prove to be a damaging distraction to the pursuit of its 26-bill legislative program, and it has distanced itself from the debate.Continue reading the main story
A Government official compared the fox hunting issue in Britain to the gays-in-the-military argument in the United States, a controversy that unexpectedly emerged in the early days of the Clinton Administration's first term and derailed its progress.
Mr. Blair said he was in favor of the ban, but he and nine of his Cabinet members managed to be away today during the vote. The Evening Standard today took notice of Mr. Blair's one-day trip to visit British troops with the headline, ''Blair Goes To Bosnia, Out of Hunting Range.''
Passions have been running high. Promoting a ban, full page advertisements feature vivid photographs of animals killed by hunting hounds, and opposing ads feature comments from people with known liberal views arguing that hunting is the most humane way of culling foxes and is a central element in traditional British country life.
The debate has brought to the fore tensions that cross party lines. They respond more to attitudes about city living and the countryside, a place of mythical dimensions to many Britons. ''Country Truths, Not Urban Myths,'' read the placard of one protester seated on a bale of hay in Parliament Square.
While the lawmakers debated, a barge floated by outside the Thames-side Houses of Parliament with a large banner proclaiming, ''73 Percent Say Ban Hunting.''
Inside, the speech-making was punctuated by jeering and growling shouts of ''Hear! Hear!'' as more than 50 lawmakers made formal statements before colleagues who waved papers above their heads and banged on their desks.
Mike Foster, the Labor Party member who introduced the bill, said it was aimed at protecting foxes from ''cruelty and from the unnecessary pain and suffering inflicted in the name of a so-called sport.'' He said, ''prevention of cruelty is the center piece of this particular bill.''
Mr. Foster said he knew that ''to many people witnessing a hunt is to feel part of English history, and the sight of a full field of horses and hounds is absolutely thrilling.''
But to him, he said, it is ''wanton cruelty conducted in the name of sport.''
Speaking for the opposition, Michael Heseltine, the former Deputy Prime Minister, sought to dispel the notion that fox hunting was just an outing for upper-class people in red jackets and argued that tens of thousands of working-class people depended on the sport for their livelihood. Referring to the Labor Party, he asked, ''How is it that a party which spends most of its life arguing about the creation of jobs, in one piece of legislation is going to decimate the jobs throughout some of the more remote and fragile economies in the country?''
Summoning up a fear held by many followers of country sports, he said today's measure was ''merely part of an agenda'' that, he said, ''will move relentlessly through fishing and shooting and angling.'' At stake, he said, was the ''cohesion of the countryside.''
Supporters of the ban are hoping that the sheer scale of the vote will cause the Government to overcome its reluctance to put it on its legislative schedule. Opponents argue that the overwhelming numbers pose a challenge to another cherished British principle, the right of a determined minority not to be dictated to by the majority.
''We live in a nation where there is legislation to protect minority groups,'' Kate Hoey, a Labor member, said in Commons. ''I therefore cannot understand why a country that prides itself on its pluralism and tolerance can be so prejudiced against its own rural inhabitants.''Continue reading the main story

| The Raven's Nevermore chapter 30 . 6/2/2013
Omg Nooo! Cliff hanger! Sort of! Lol anyway I love your story please keep going! I know I'm a bit late but I caught up! And please make more chapters! It's too good! I got so happy when Longshot and Smellerbee kissed! You are an awesome author, please please PLEASE Continue!
| GrossGirl18 chapter 10 . 6/1/2013
Other thing I forgot to mention: I could be wrong, but it seems to me if you're swinging a sword, you'll hit the right shoulder, not the left (assuming you're right handed).
Also, could Longshot possibly be... jealous? Le gasp!
| GrossGirl18 chapter 7 . 6/1/2013
So far, I'm really liking this story, although I will make one correction- Smellerbee wears her shoulder pad on her right shoulder, and the cloth is tied around her left.
Also, and I'm not sure if this is a mistake or not, but at first you said she took the blue cloth from her brother's room- but later that she found a random piece in her own room? Was that a mistake, or on purpose?
Either way, I'm enjoying this backstory.
| Alapest chapter 30 . 6/1/2013
Poor Longshot! I just wanna hug him right now!
| OtterMoone chapter 30 . 6/1/2013
Thanks. My heart is now a puddle of goo on the floor thanks to that lovely Longshot-showing-his-hidden-love scene.
I love this story so much, thank you ;A; !
| Anoymous136 chapter 30 . 5/31/2013
I wonder who's gonna break first? Jet, Longshot, or Smellerbee? If it's Bee, I have an inkling to what'll make her break.
| Alapest chapter 29 . 5/25/2013
I hope no one dies! I have gotten too attached to them!
| Cat.That.Roared chapter 29 . 5/24/2013
Dunn Dunnn Dunnnnnnnn! Oh noes! I loved the little bit of smellershot! And it was Longshot who kinda instigated the kiss... My inner fangirl is squeeing.
| Ender The Time Lady chapter 28 . 5/21/2013
Also, HALLELUIGHA YOU LIVE!
I spelled that out like, eight times, and then just sort of gave up and I know it's wrong but I have no idea why so I'm just going to go emo in the corner now.

AS PROMISED, I wanted to do a few posts to show you the step-by-step process I used to create my new home command center. Today is a quick and dirty tutorial on how to create clean paint lines. EVERY. TIME. Have you ever tried to apply a stripe of paint or other shape to a wall, only to be left wallowing in disappointment after hours of hard work because paint has seeped under the tape leaving you with a not-so-sexy jagged edge?
This simple trick I'm sharing today, which only adds a few extra minutes (and, hopefully, zero $$) to your project, will leave you with crisp lines after you remove your tape.
For my home command center (final product pictured above), I wanted a three-inch frame surrounding the functional area where I'd place all of my organizational items. In order to do this, I needed to apply chalkboard paint to a rectangular area within the wall. As you can see below, I started with a blank wall in my kitchen….and a seriously cluttered fridge.
I was somewhat intimidated by the task of creating a perfect rectangle on a rectangular wall. At the ripe old age of 32 (I think, you really do start to lose track at a certain point…), I've learned that there's something about being an imperfect perfectionist human with the desire to create a perfectly straight line that will cause my heart rate to speed up and throat to constrict every time. But I persevered through the anxiety with a plan, a steady hand and a heaping amount of the newfound patience I've discovered since becoming the mother of a toddler.
Here's how it went down in five easy steps:
STEP 1: MEASURE. Using a ruler and a pencil, I drew hash marks all around the border of my home command center three inches away from the edges of the wall. I'd say I put a hash mark every 10 or 12 inches around the perimeter.
STEP 2: LEVEL. I framed out the entire area in pencil by connecting the hash marks using a ruler/level to ensure my line was straight.
STEP 3: TAPE. I applied small pieces of Scotch Blue tape next to my pencil line. Although it might be tempting to use long pieces of tape to make this step go a bit faster, I'd highly recommend using small pieces because it makes it easier to apply the tape right alongside your pencil mark. The longer your tape the more likely it is that you'll end up with crooked lines.
Make sure your tape is sealed well at the edge where you'll be applying the paint. I used my fingers to press down the tape first, and then the edge of my ruler to get a super tight seal.
STEP 4: PAINT. This step is the secret to my sharp paint lines. Old paint. Unfortunately, in order for this trick to work, the old paint needs to be the same color as the wall to which you're applying the stripe!
After owning a few homes and one disastrous touch up paint job at an apartment, I've learned to label and store every single color of paint I use in the house. If you don't have any paint in the color of your wall left, then you can always go out for a sample pot in the same color.
Of course, if you're applying a stripe to a freshly painted wall, you wont have this issue! All you need to do is use a small brush or roller to apply a coat or two of paint in the same color as the wall along the edge of your tape.
You'll ultimately be painting over this with your final color. You don't need to coat the entire surface area for your stripe or shape, just right over the edge of the tape. This simple step makes it so any paint that seeps through areas of the tape that aren't fully sealed to the wall will be the same color as the wall. And you won't have any furry, fuzzy, jagged paint lines to clean up after removing the tape. Simple. Just make sure you let this base coat dry well before you apply your top coat(s) in order to prevent peeling or mixing of colors.
STEP 5: PAINT AGAIN. This is the step you wanted to skip right to, but I'm telling you that those few extra minutes painting a base coat of wall color is SO worth it when you reveal clean edges after removing your tape.
Here you can see I rolled on the magnetic primer I used at the bottom of my home command center right over the painted edges of the tape.
I ended up using seven coats of the magnetic primer (which I'll post tips about separately later), and then five additional coats of chalkboard paint on top of that!
Even after the application of nearly 15 coats of paint, when I removed my tape the lines were beautifully crisp. I'd be lying if I told you I removed the tape with a flourish because I was so confident the lines would be perfect! I definitely was holding my breath the whole time, but, as you can see, the lines came out perfect. The only touch up I needed was to wipe around the edges of my blue chalkboard paint with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser to remove the pencil smudges I left behind on the walls.
That's it! An easy trick that will avoid the ever-frustrating process of fixing up blurry paint lines. You can also use this trick on furniture or small craft projects.

Marco Rubio Says He'll Make Presidential Decision "In the Coming Weeks"
Marco Rubio hasn't even completed a full term in the Senate, but he's taking the presidential buzz that surrounds him (or used to, anyway) seriously. He says he'll decide whether or not to make a bid for the White House in the coming weeks.
Rubio was on a Colombian radio station yesterday when he was asked about a possible run.
"For me, the decision is made based on the following: I have my agenda that I have talked about for more than four years and the decision that I have to make is where is the best place to advance this agenda as a presidential candidate or continue at the majority in the Senate," Rubio said. "That is a decision I will make in the coming weeks along with my family because it requires a whole series of things."
Rubio, a member of the Senate's Foreign Relations committee, spent the past two days in Bogota to meet political, business and civic leaders, and to discuss things like peace and counter-narcotic operations.

Apparently, however, Rubio's reputation as a possible presidential candidate followed him all the way to South America.
Rubio's popularity in Republican circles have cooled off a bit from the superstar status he attained upon election to the Senate. Even in Florida, most polls indicate that Republicans would prefer a Jeb Bush presidency to a Rubio presidency, but political popularity can shift wildly.
Rubio of course would be up for reelection to his Senate seat in 2016, a so a serious run for president could possibly mean abandoning his Senate seat.

PETER SNOWDEN was appointed OBE in 1992 for 'services to yachting'. He took part in almost every aspect of sailing from small dinghies to large ocean racers and in the administrative side as well, but his main work was for 18 years as Secretary of Cowes Combined Clubs and at the same time of the Solent Cruising and Rowing Association.
Of these tasks the former was undoubtedly the heavier. Time was when each local club ran its own regatta on one or more days of Cowes Week. This no doubt gave the spice of variety to the competitors but as numbers increased variety tended to generate chaos. The clubs involved decided to have a common programme with one set of sailing instructions instead of four or five.
Before Snowden there were two part-time and honorary secretaries. He was the first full-time paid official. His great success lay in reducing the risk of avoidable mistakes to a minimum and changing the method of starting and finishing races to accommodate ever increasing numbers.
He was never the overall director of racing. The individual clubs produced their team of race officers for their particular race days. The race officers still had to take the awkward decisions: whether the breeze was strong enough to give everyone a chance of completing a course; choosing courses that were best suited to conditions of wind and tide and did not conflict with each other; judging whether the wind was too strong for some classes.
The mechanics of starting a yacht race are quite complex - a warning gun and flag signal 10 minutes before the start; another gun and flag signal five minutes before the start; a gun and flag signal at the start; with another if any boat is over the start line before time; and, if there are too many boats over the line to be a identified, a third gun to signal a general recall, which requires a new start.
That procedure for up to 20 separate starts - some involving 50 or 60 boats, perhaps with a postponement for lack of wind and one or more general recalls - can leave virtually no time for the last classes to get a race.
The Snowden solution was to split the starting time in two, the smaller boats inshore, the bigger ones offshore so that there could be a start every five minutes instead of every 10. As the offshore starters could not always see the flags or the gunsmoke, let alone hear the bangs, they were given a radio frequency on which they could get the details of their course and hear the race officer counting down to their start.
The finishes were split too: the big boats on what had been the inner start line and the small ones off East Cowes. That diminished but did not entirely remove the race officers' nightmare of boats of many different classes crossing the finishing line in one enormous bunch. All the results were computerised, with handicaps worked out in a flash. Cowes week had entered the electronic age.
It had also entered the sponsorship age and work had to go on all the year round to tie up all the ends and leave nothing to chance. To produce the programme - with nearly 1,000 boats competing over eight days - the sailing instructions and the courses was a fine achievement and typical of the meticulous infrastructure without which Cowes Week would have collapsed into chaos. That is a measure of Peter Snowden's services to yachting.Reuse content

The Paul Revere Monument is an unmarked location in Boston in 2287.
The monument is a remembrance of Paul Revere's "Midnight Ride," in which he rode the countryside on a horse informing the people and local militia of Massachusetts that British forces were on the move to Concord. The British troops had the goal of destroying rebel weapons and ammunition while capturing Samuel Adams and John Hancock, leading to the Battles of Lexington and Concord.[1]
The Paul Revere Monument occupies a small square at the back of the Old North Church. It can be encountered by following the Freedom Trail through Boston, after the stop at Paul Revere's house.
The Paul Revere Monument appears only in Fallout 4.

You can bring in your own catering, pay by the hour, and decorate the space as you see fit to truly make it your own. Here's a few of our favorite afforable raw spaces in Chicago for you to consider!
Today, the saga continues as we cover Chicago's vegetarian scene. I'm not gonna lie, it was far more difficult to find a few VenueBook vegetarian friendly restaurants in Chicago than it was in NYC. I feel like this is expected, but also worth noting. Because of this difficulty, I decided to cave on my original rules and include restaurants that serve pasta. The rules have changed slightly, but I'm confident you'll love the restaurants I picked.

Trophy Hunting
Every year hundreds of thousands of wild animals globally are killed solely to obtain a "prize" — that is, the heads, hides or pelts, and even whole stuffed animals — to hang on a wall, throw on the floor, or pose in a room. Trophy hunting is unethical, cruel, harmful and unsustainable. The concept that individuals kill remarkable and rare animals for recreation and trophies is no longer an acceptable practice to the large majority of Americans.

The scenic coastal Clarens Drive offers spectacular views of False Bay.
Along the route we stop in to see the second colony of African Penguins on the mainland before arriving at the quaint holiday town of Hermanus.
There we join a boat-based whale watching excursion. A 2 to 3 hour seabased whale trip takes you close to the giants that arrive here to mate and calve.
This tour operates during the Whale Season from July to November only.
There is no guarantee that Whales will be sighted although our guides make every effort to find the best viewing point.
Handy tip: Sun protection, protective clothing and preventative treatment against seas sickness are advisable when going on the boat trip.
Dear Warren,
Just to say thank you for arranging our various tours. Both Glynn and Aubrey were superb guides and excellent companions throughout our journeys. They could not have done more to inform us and they were so conscious to look after mother, who will be 89 next month.
If we are able to return to SA again in the future we will, no doubt, be in touch.
Kindest regards
Brian and Carol Boyden and Mary Myles.

The US envoy Dennis Ross last night arranged a meeting for the early hours of this morning between Mr Arafat and Mr Netanyahu, their first in eight months.
The summit could signal a thaw after a seven-month crisis that has brought Israeli-Palestinian relations to the brink of total breakdown.
The summit plan emerged soon after Israel and the Palestinians had restarted negotiations suspended since Israel started to build a settlement at Har Homa in March.
Israeli reports said Mr Netanyahu was interested in holding the summit, perhaps to deflect attention away from the spiralling scandal over the botched assassination attempt two weeks ago by Mossad, the Israeli foreign intelligence organisation, against a Hamas leader in Jordan.
Israel is still absorbing the consequences of the attempted assassination - which led to the freeing of Sheikh Ahmed Yassin. Since his return to Gaza he has shown that he is politically versatile and, whatever his state of health, capable of giving frequent interviews.
Mr Netanyahu has counter-attacked his critics, saying the Amman debacle was an operation against terrorism which went wrong. He has appointed a commission of inquiry, but it has few powers. Mr Netanyahu may be damaged in the eyes of the Israeli public by the realisation that Hamas is now a serious political force, thanks primarily to the actions of Israel.
He may also have damaged his credibility in Washington by refusing to tell Jordan the name of the poison injected into Khalid Meshal, the Hamas leader, by Mossad. Instead, he sent an antidote which Jordan refused to accept because it thought it might be more poison. The issue was only settled by President Bill Clinton.

I bought this vest for my wife, The first order we agreed on a small, we had to send it back which was easy then we ordered a XL, I won't give you her measurements but I will tell you this be careful when ordering this product because the size-fit ratio is quite unik, it has a conformity that has to be over sized in order to fit well. The product can rapped in plastic with hanger (great job) and the side adjustment leather strapping needed to be adjusted. My wife loves it though and wears it often whether we are riding or not. Thank-you for the great product keep up the good product selection you provide.

Desert Hearts is a 1985 American romantic drama film directed by Donna Deitch. The screenplay written by Natalie Cooper is an adaptation of the 1964 lesbian-themed novel Desert of the Heart by Jane Rule. The film stars Helen Shaver and Patricia Charbonneau with a supporting performance by Audra Lindley.
The film was released theatrically in the United States on March 7, 1986. It was released in the United Kingdom on June 6, 1986.
In 1959, Vivian Bell, a 35-year-old English professor at Columbia University in New York City, travels to Reno to establish residency in Nevada (a process that takes six weeks), in order to obtain a quickie divorce. She stays at a guest house ranch for women who are waiting for their divorces to be finalized. The guest ranch is owned by Frances Parker.
Vivian meets Cay Rivvers, a younger, free-spirited sculptor whom Frances loves as if she were her mother. Cay works at a casino as a change operator in Reno, and is ending a relationship with Darrell, her boss, because as she put it, she "allowed (her)self to be attracted to his attraction" for her. When Vivian arrives, Cay notices her immediately, and the tightly controlled and elegant Vivian, in turn, is taken aback by Cay's boldness and lack of concern of what others think of her (and her romantic/sexual preferences). Cay reveals that she has had relationships with women in the past. Frances jealously notices that Vivian is becoming a bigger and bigger part of Cay's life, and resents her for it, afraid that Cay will leave her and the ranch, and she will be left alone. Frances sees Cay as her only "family," even though Cay is not her actual child, but rather the daughter of Frances' "man" Glenn who has been dead several years.
When everyone attends an engagement party for Cay's best friend and co-worker, Silver, Cay drives a drunken Vivian to see Lake Tahoe afterwards and kisses her. Vivian returns the kiss passionately and is so surprised by her response to Cay's advance that she begs Cay to take her home. When they return to the ranch in the early morning, Frances has Vivian's bags and a taxi waiting for her, furious that (Frances presumed) she has seduced Cay. Cay leaves the ranch immediately, and Vivian transfers to a hotel room at the Riverside Casino for the rest of her stay.
After some days apart, both Cay and Vivian are clearly confused and hurt. Cay goes to visit Vivian at the hotel and overcomes Vivian's resistance to making love with her, and they start a relationship. With the impending finalization of Vivian's divorce, the two must sort out the future of their relationship. Vivian is afraid of what people in her academic circle will think of her being in a relationship with another woman, and Cay is unsure of what she would ever do in New York City. At Silver's wedding, Vivian and Cay are in attendance, Frances and Cay are brought back together, and Cay admits to Frances that Vivian has "reached in and put a string of lights around my heart."
In the final scene, after Vivian's divorce has become finalized, she packs up and goes to the train station to return to New York. Cay accompanies her to the station, and as the train is pulling out, Vivian convinces Cay to come with her, at least as far as the next station.

Development and production[edit]
Desert Hearts is loosely based on the 1964 romance novel Desert of the Heart by Jane Rule.[a] In 1979, Donna Deitch was searching for a story about a lesbian romance that "was mainstream, not in the context of the women's community or (New York's) the Village."[5] The first draft of the screenplay, written by Deitch, followed the original story, but when Natalie Cooper was hired as the screenwriter she veered away from it. The names of the main characters were changed: Evelyn Hall became Vivian Bell and Ann Childs became Cay Rivvers. Other characters were minimized or excluded, subplots were eliminated, and the love scene was made explicit. Jane Rule described the film as "beautifully simplified".[5]
Deitch raised the $1.5 million needed for the production budget with a $20,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts and sales of $15,000 shares to stock brokers and individual investors (the largest group of investors were lesbian and feminist women in several cities of the U.S., and the largest single investor was a gay man). She gave fundraising parties and published a regular newsletter to keep investors informed about the project's development. Raising funds took almost four years. She eventually sold her house to cover completion costs.[5][6] In a 1991 interview with The Guardian, Deitch said that: "In San Francisco I sold it as politics. In New York as Art. In LA I convinced them it would be a box office hit."[7]
Deitch encountered difficulty finding actresses who would portray lesbians without reserve with many refusing to audition for the film.[8][7] Patricia Charbonneau was the first actress to be cast and went to Los Angeles with Deitch so she could audition with those reading for the role of Vivian Bell. Deitch noticed the chemistry between Charbonneau and Helen Shaver immediately.[7] She persuaded actors to work for scale,[9] and after casting completed, the film was shot on location in Reno in 31 days. Limited funds often necessitated filming two scenes in one day, with little room for retakes. Renting space in a real casino was out of the question and a dressed set in a room of an abandoned hotel served as the gambling casino in the film.[b] It took nearly six years for Deitch to bring Desert Hearts to theater screens.[5]
The contract with Charbonneau and Shaver obligated them to perform the sex scene in the hotel room without body doubles and to be nude on camera from the waist down. The scene was shot on the second-to-last day of filming, with cinematographer Robert Elswit and a boom operator as the only crew members present.[7] The Samuel Goldwyn Company insisted in having the scene cut down but Deitch refused.[8][10][c] In a 1986 Los Angeles Times interview, Helen Shaver described it as being "profoundly intimate".[9] Deitch became the first lesbian director to have a sex scene between women seen by general movie theater audiences.[7]
In a 1986 Globe and Mail interview, Shaver said that she was being considered for a role in Joshua Then and Now, which would have promoted her career much farther than Desert Hearts. Donna Deitch assured her over the phone that she was right for her movie and told her she refused to hang up the phone until she got an answer. After five minutes, Shaver accepted the role.[13] Shaver explained her feelings about the film. "I was scared, not about the lesbianism — the script said, 'The passion builds' in the love scene, so once I knew how the passion built and where the camera would be, that was fine — but because someone wanted me to do what I'd wanted to do all along, and here it was, and all I had to do was say yes. I had always wanted to carry a movie. Now, if I never make another one, I've done this. For the first time, I feel I've done a complete work on film."[13][d]
Desert Hearts was Patricia Charbonneau's film debut.[14] In a separate interview, Charbonneau said, "When I first read it, I thought, 'Well, everything that I've done so far people have taken a risk with me. I wanted to do something that at least people would talk about. Even if they hated it, they'd be talking about it."[15] Commenting on doing such an explicit love scene, Charbonneau said, "Kissing Helen wasn't the hard part, really. The hard part was just walking out on the set naked and just standing there."[15][e]
Donna Deitch was surprised to learn 20 years after the film's release that Helen Shaver[f] and Patricia Charbonneau were told by their friends and agents that the film would ruin their careers.[citation needed]
An original 35 mm print of Desert Hearts was donated to the Outfest UCLA Legacy Project for LGBT Film Preservation at the UCLA Film & Television Archive.[17]
In celebration of its 30th anniversary, Deitch's personal 35 mm print was screened at The Museum of Modern Art in December 2016.[18]
Desert Hearts was digitally restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive and the Criterion Collection/Janus Films in conjunction with the Outfest UCLA Legacy Project and the Sundance Institute, with the debut of the new version screened at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival on January 24 , 2017 (followed by a Q&A with director Donna Deitch, cinematographer Robert Elswitt, and production designer Jeannine Oppewall).[19][20][21] It was thereafter screened in Los Angeles by the UCLA Film & Television Archive on February 4, 2017.[22][23]
In April 2016, Donna Deitch announced that she was fundraising to produce a sequel to Desert Hearts, to be set in New York City during the women's liberation movement.[24][25]
Desert Hearts made its North American debut at the 1985 Telluride Film Festival in September 1985.[26][27][28] It had its world premiere at the 1985 Toronto International Film Festival in September 1985.[29] The film screened at the 1985 Chicago International Film Festival on November 15, 1985,[30] and the 1986 Sundance Film Festival in January 1986.[19]
It was wide released in the U.S. by The Samuel Goldwyn Company on March 7, 1986,[31][32] and in the U.K. by Mainline Pictures Ltd. on June 6, 1986.[33]
Critical response[edit]
The reaction by film critics was mixed. In his scathing review for The New York Times, Vincent Canby criticized the screenplay as "unimaginative", described its characters as having "so little life", and the film as lacking a "voice or style of its own", but did add that it "is so earnest and sincere that it deserves an A for deportment".[34] In comparison, Gene Siskel of the Chicago Tribune wrote that the film was "elegant, traditional story-telling" with "complete characterizations and performances, a genuinely tender and erotic love scene and a sweetly satisfying finale"; adding "the filmmaking and performances are so seamless that "Desert Hearts" may accomplish on film what hasn't been achieved in society—the de-sensationalizing of lesbianism."[35]
In the review for The Body Politic, Ed Jackson said the screenplay was "spiked with hilarious one-liners", described the love scene as "a luminous study in gentle eroticism, almost painfully intimate", and the film as "a treat that is both soft-centred and sugar-coated", "handsome, well-constructed", and "much more dense than the simple propaganda that it might at first resemble."[36] Michael Musto wrote in The Saturday Review that "Lesbianism isn't exploited for angst a la Children's Hour, or touched upon then summarily dropped as in Personal Best; it's handled tenderly and optimistically, if not with a lot of levity and wit."[37] Paul Attanasio of The Washington Post praised the film highly, calling it "astonishingly polished and nuanced"; and although some aspects of the cinematography were criticized, remarked "Donna Deitch's first feature, touches something about love that few movies even hint at — not the tremulousness, or the hiding and jousting (although there is that), but the way the attraction of two lovers warps the world around them, throws it out of whack."[38] In the Los Angeles Times, Sheila Benson wrote that although it was not "easy to sympathize with her character", Charbonneau was a "magnetic presence" and both she and Audra Lindley gave "crackerjack performances"; stating "although you can feel the budget limitations with every truncated scene, it's clear that Deitch is adept with actors and with the camera".[39] In the Chicago Sun-Times, Roger Ebert gave Desert Hearts two and a half stars for the simplicity and directness of the film, but noted the surprising power of the romantic scenes.[40] In City Limits, Amanda Lipman wrote that it was "a passionate, lovingly shot romance" and that "one of the most important differences between [Desert Hearts] and most heterosexual romances is the equality with which it treats each of its central characters."[41] Geoff Brown in The Times praised the film wholeheartedly, including both actors in the leading roles, writing "Fuelled by vibrant performances and an expert script that articulates feelings without ascending into wordy clouds, Desert Hearts rises far above such pigeon-hole categories as the nostalgic period drama or the lesbian love-story. Deitch's film is a passionate, beautifully controlled drama about making choices and exercising the heart: in a word, about living."[42] Desert Hearts has an 86% rating at Rotten Tomatoes.[43]
In his seminal critical study about homosexuality in the movies, The Celluloid Closet, film historian Vito Russo wrote: "Desert Hearts is a love story that recreates with perceptiveness and tenderness what it might have been like for two women of different generations and backgrounds to fall in love in the Fifties....Deitch's refusal to feature the straight world's reaction to lesbianism as the focus of her film made all the difference in the way the relationship between the women was perceived by audiences."[44] He remarked about Vincent Canby's review of the film: "In the New York Times, Vincent Canby complained that we are not given enough information about the quality of Vivian's broken marriage, asking if perhaps her lesbianism was a hysterical reaction to her divorce. This is the point at which many heterosexual critics disqualify themselves from perceptively reviewing gay films."[45]
Desert Hearts was the only lesbian film out of nine films selected for screening at the first London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival in 1986.[46]
With the passage of time, Desert Hearts has gained recognition for its quality and impact on lesbian cinema. In 1996, The Sydney Morning Herald declared, "Donna Deitch's 1985 Desert Hearts is widely regarded as one of the best and most significant mainstream fiction films about lesbians."[47] The Globe and Mail referred to it as "one of the first and most highly regarded works in which a lesbian relationship is depicted favourably."[3]
PlanetOut defined it as "One of the seminal lesbian/gay films of the 1980s, and arguably the most romantic lesbian film of all time"; and "historically important because it was the first lesbian-themed feature film written and directed by a woman."[48] In 2013, The Guardian named Desert Hearts one of the ten most romantic films and characterized the final scene of Vivian and Cay at the train station as "a subversive take on hollywood endings".[49] Curve described Desert Hearts as "possibly the first feature film with fully-rounded female characters who are attracted to each other without that attraction being contested by a male."[10]
Audience response[edit]
Helen Shaver revealed that screen legend Greta Garbo was so impressed with her performance in the film that they attempted to meet but due to Garbo's poor health instead talked over the phone.[50] Patricia Charbonneau, in turn, learned that model Gia Carangi patterned herself after Cay's character.[51]
Author and lesbian literary critic Camile Paglia praised the movie for its "riveting performances", having seen it 11 times in theaters. She claimed that Patricia Charbonneau's "magic" came from hormonal glow, as she had found out she was pregnant before shooting began.[52] In her landmark work Sexual Personae, Paglia wrote: "The closest thing I have ever seen to Shakespeare's Rosalind is Patricia Charbonneau's spirited performance as a coltish Reno cowgirl in Donna Deitch's film Desert Hearts."[53]
Actress Jane Lynch said she had never "seen in celluloid such real passion and desire between two women" and had watched the video "over 50 times".[54] C.J. Prince, author and executive director of North Jersey Pride, wrote in 2014 that Desert Hearts "was refreshingly different, not only because the characters weren't psychotic, but also because it didn't end in depressing, unrequited love...or death", adding "the film holds up as a bold, beautifully rendered story about the search for authenticity and love, and the sacrifices one has to make to find them...For a coming-out movie, it's as good as it gets."[55]
In 2007, Outfest named Desert Hearts one of the "25 Films That Changed Our Lives".[56][57] It was one of "The 25 Most Important LGBT Films" in a 2014 IndieWire reader's poll.[58]
In an assessment of lesbian genre films since the 1980s, Slate said the film was "immensely popular with lesbian audiences" and earned "cult classic status...years after it was released".[59]
Box office[edit]
By the fall of 1986, Desert Hearts had grossed $2.5 million.[60] The revenue from its rental by independent distribution companies was $1.1 million.[61]

So recently I bought these headphones and the cable was packed in the box in a way that the calbe 'grew numb', so at one part instead of being straight it has a bent in it. It can be straightened but if I let it go it is not straight by itself, it lost its natural shape.
Is it something I should return for another item or just enjoy the headphones and they should be fine? I don't really want them to break in a couple of years, they are not exactly cheap for that...
Thanks for the help, much appreciated!

Brianna Cruz and Maria Zepeda disappeared in the afternoon after they left P.S. 53. Friends of the girls said they asked their teacher to use the restroom and then snuck out a back door. The third-graders then took the subway to Battery Park, said Zepeda?s grandmother. Both girls were found unharmed by police Thursday evening. ?Security needs to be investigated,? said Victor Martinez, a parent who has a child in P.S. 53. ?How does that happen? How are the side doors unlocked, the back doors? That's not right.? Parents are outraged school officials didn?t notify them sooner about the incident and plan to follow up with the Department of Education. A spokesperson at the DOE declined to comment on the incident because it is still under investigation.

WRS Web Solutions Reviews & Service Offerings

Cap: 40 GB
Overage: $1.00/GB
WRS Web Solutions is a telecom provider that has a lot to offer to the consumer base. They provide home phone services, web hosting services, residential internet services, affiliate programs, calling cards for long distance and many useful download links on their website. Sadly enough however WRS Web Solutions doesn't offer much information about their own history or how they've come to the position they are currently at. The headquarters of WRS Web Solutions are also unknown considering the only way of contacting them is through a web inquiry form. However let us now review one of WRS Web Solutions bread and butter internet plans to gauge their commitment to their clients.
WRS Web Solutions offers a residential internet plan which they call the 5 – Ontario Cable Internet plan. The great thing about cable internet is that they don't require a home phone line as a prerequisite, meaning that if you don't have a home phone line you don't have to worry about paying dry loop setup fees and an added monthly payment. The internet plan that WRS Web Solutions offers comes with download speeds of up to 5 mbps and upload speeds of up to 1 mbps. This plan comes with a usage cap of 40 GB's per month and has a price tag of $24.99 per month. Now this plan would work out great for the light users who check up on emails, spend time on Facebook and watch Youtube videos from time to time.
However the usage cap makes it pretty much impossible to go above and beyond that. For the services being offered the pricing is great but could marginally be better. WorldLine offers a residential internet plan that comes with download speeds of up to 6 mbps and upload speeds of up to 1 mbps at an unlimited usage cap for only $29.99 per month. For a six dollar difference you can attain unlimited usage which once again may not be what some users need but certainly is a great option to have.
The very small usage cap however is the gateway into profit considering WRS Web Solutions is implementing an excruciatingly high overage charge at $1.00 per GB. The average rate for overage is between 25 cents to 50 cents per GB, but WRS Web Solutions takes it very far with their implementation of overage. Furthermore the setup costs for this service come in at a onetime fee of $69.99.
WRS Web Solutions is on the right track by offering a consolidated plan in regards to usage limits and pricing, but it diverts from this track with the overage charge. WRS Web Solutions internet plan however is still very economical and will definitely have great appeal to anyone looking for easy to afford internet access.
