Fresh violence in Indian administered Kashmir has killed 17 more people, including nine fighters and two soldiers.
Officials said on Saturday that six fighters were killed after the army, acting on a tip-off, surrounded their hideout in the district of Pulwama, some 45km south of Srinagar.
Hiding in a residential area, the fighters reportedly opened fire as the army closed in.
"The fighting lasted for several hours and a few militants are believed to have escaped," an army official said.
A spokesman for the Harkat-ul-Mujahidin group said its district commander and another district commander of the hardline Jaish-e-Muhammad were killed.
Three more fighters were killed in a separate encounter in southern Kashmir, army spokesman Colonel Bhanwar Rathore said.
Two Indian soldiers also died in the fighting.
Violence has swept Kashmir since 1989 when more than a dozen Kashmiri groups intensified their demand for the disputed region's indepedence from Indian rule.
Official estimates suggest that up to 38,000 people have been killed in the conflict till date. The fighters put the toll much higher, at between 80,000 to 100,000.

Celebrating Women's Impact on Our Industry
It was 89 years ago when women finally won the long fight for the right to vote. It is hard to imagine that we were ever denied that right. It is even harder to imagine that there may still be people out there who think that women don't deserve this right … but there are. Our society has come a long way, but women's fight for equality is not over.
Content Aggregation: A Win-Win for Publishers?
Go to AccuWeather.com to find out if your town will see sun or clouds tomorrow, and below the local temperature, you'll see local news. This is not a case of meteorologists breaking into the journalism business; content (in the form of linked headlines) is provided by aggregator Topix.com, which uses a sophisticated algorithm to troll the Web for relevant articles. The material enriches the Web sites of Topix's distribution partners, while the primary news source sees additional site traffic—a win-win for everybody, right?

Time to Go Hunting
This month I am going hunting. My intended prey are several publishing myths that seem to predominate the psyche of old media.
Top Women in Magazine Publishing
"Magazine publishing, more than many other fields, has long been a great career for women …," says Patricia B. Fox, senior vice president, operations, and general manager, Healthy Living Group at Active Interest Media. Fox, along with the other women Publishing Executive selected for its first-annual "Top Women in Magazine Publishing" feature, exemplify the greatness that women have achieved in this industry.

OK, you've seen the sky-high predictions all spring: The Seattle Mariners are supposed to be good — very good — this season. And yes, for many M's fans, it's somewhat hard to believe after more than a decade of mediocre — very mediocre — baseball.
Yet numerous MLB pundits are choosing the Mariners to win it all this season. And that's no April Fools' joke.
Three new prediction packages Wednesday — from USA Today, the Washington Post and Yahoo Sports — have Seattle going deep into the postseason this year, and many expect the M's to win their first Commissioner's Trophy, let alone make the first World Series appearance in franchise history.
Let's start with USA Today, which expects the Mariners to finish second in the A.L. West (behind the L.A. Angels) and as a wild-card team make Seattle's first postseason trip since 2001. Interestingly, though, two of USA Today's baseball writers and editors picked the Mariners to appear in the World Series.
One of them, veteran columnist Bob Nightengale, predicted the Mariners will beat the Miami Marlins in the World Series. Another, national writer Paul White, picked the Mariners to lose to the L.A. Dodgers in the Fall Classic.
The Washington Post, meanwhile, predicted the Mariners will edge the Angels for the A.L. West pennant. By adding slugger Nelson Cruz to an already formidable offensive duo of Robinson Cano and Kyle Seager, Seattle finally has the firepower — and the pitching support from Felix Hernandez and rising star Taijuan Walker — to break through the ALDS, into the ALCS and advance to the World Series.
There, the Post's Barry Svrluga wrote Wednesday, the M's will best the Washington Nationals for Seattle's first-ever MLB title. But Svrluga wasn't exactly confident in his prediction.
"In the cool winds of spring, even venturing a guess – and that's what this is, a guess – feels unwise. How's that for conviction?" he wrote.
"Such a series would pit two franchises that would be making their first World Series appearances – what would be the first such occurrence in more than a century," Svrluga continued. "So why choose the team that hasn't been to the postseason in 14 years rather than the one that's been built for this moment over the past five?
"Baseball, over 162 games, yields what is deserved. October, over 31 days, yields something utterly unpredictable. Check back in seven months to see if this was worth anything."
Finally, Yahoo also showed the M's some real respect, with one writer picking Seattle to advance to the World Series — but lose to the Dodgers. In Yahoo's five-man panel, two picked the Mariners to win the A.L. West and two chose Seattle to make the postseason as a wild card.
MLB reporter Mike Oz was the one Yahoo writer who picked the M's to make the Fall Classic. One pundit expected Seattle to miss the playoffs altogether, two predicted the M's will lose in the ALDS, and another thought Seattle will just miss the World Series by falling to the Boston Red Sox in the ALCS.
All five of them, however, predicted Hernandez will win this year's A.L. Cy Young Award after he was snubbed last season. And two pundits think Cano has a good chance to win A.L. MVP, with the Angels' Mike Trout as his primary competition.
At the same time, two pundits picked Cruz as their "biggest letdown." Yet two writers said Cano will be the A.L. batting champ, one said Walker will be the A.L.'s breakout pitcher, and another said utility player Rickie Weeks will be the league's best comeback story.
Well, we'll see how things turn out. Opening Day is Monday, when the M's host the Angels at 1 p.m. at Safeco Field. And, across the nation, all eyes will be on the Seattle Mariners for the first time since … who knows when?

There are a lot of different ways that you can make money or an extra income. One way is to have a rental property or other form of real estate. With real estate you have the power to rent to people on a short-term basis as well as a long term. Depending on the type of property you have the amount you charge as well as the type of people you have renting can vary greatly. With all of these different options having a Property management Hebron company help you could be a financially sound idea.
The first thing that you can have done is screening. The screening process needs to be handled delicately. If you refuse to rent to a specific person or group of people, there has to be good reason to. Using race, sex or other personal factors can get you in trouble and even sued. Make sure that you have a strong screening process in place when dealing with your properties.
Rent collection
Getting your money can be a headache in some cases. People will come on hard times, checks get lost and sometimes people get funny when it comes to money. With a property management company these headaches and issues are handled for you. As the property owner you just wait for the check to arrive in the mail.
Most of us don't have maintenance skills or can afford to hire a team of people to do work on our homes. With a property management company they have their select people in place at reasonable rates to go in and do what needs to be done. This helps keep your properties maintained as well as any headaches from renters to a minimum.
When it comes to paying taxes and keeping up with the money having a property management company handle this will make sure that everything is accounted for. The last thing you want to have happen is money come up missing or having to pay extra in taxes at the end of the year.

The Picture Plane : a new short story I'm working on
November 23, 2009
posted/written by caroline picard
Woody Allen Woody Allen Woody Allen
An older gentleman, he came upon a fallen Redwood, collapsed and soundless in the yellow grass. The sun was hot, it stole the sound and smell from the air, except sometimes the man heard a buzzing fly land and when it landed everything was more silent than it had been before. The man studied the log, imagined its figure wearing away with rot, woodmites and termites and peculiar worms, until it wore down into dust—the shit of insects—and fed the dull earth.
Instead, the man took a cast of the tree:
He hired a team of employees and together they gathered around its stupendous girth. They raised the dead log on pedestals—sweating, the whine of the chainsaw—cutting the trunk into eight three foot cross-sections. They took elaborate photographs of each of the tree's parts. Like a murder scene, quadrants of the surrounding area were taped off. Surrounding tree trunks bore neon pink symbols of work on their bases. Everything was documented. Everyone wore rubber gloves.
They took a cast of its massive breadth, width, length in sections:
sealing the tree in soap, they poured wax around its parts just before nightfall and in the night the wax hardened and in the morning they cut the wax off in clean, re-sealable pieces. They sent those pieces to Japan in a very cool box.
What came back:
The tree—a new one, it resembled the original—came back without the wax, for the wax had been burned to make the new tree. The tree came in parts, the same eight three-foot cross-sections. Its parts made of wood, not Redwood but Hinoki. Its surface had been carved in a myriad of patterns, different borring strokes; the surface of the replica was carved to look like the surface of the old. This new wood blonder and clean looking, though with the self-same hollowed core of its dead predecessor.
There was a note attached to the mid-section.
Someone was asked to translate:
Once put together, this tree will last 400 years, before hitting a crisis of 100 years, during which it will crack. Thereafter it will last another 400 years before it begins to decompose.
Manhattan, New York, 2009: Mr. Allen finds himself sat in the corner window of a high-rise apartment—his own, (he can tell by the family photographs, framed and standing on the bookshelves, and the side table too). He recognizes the pattern on the carpet; it looks to be Persian, red and black interlaced geometries. He remembers the smell of the place—the smell is both familiar and difficult to perceive; it must be a smell belonging to him.
Soon-yi sounds to be making coffee in the adjacent kitchen and he can hear the clattering of domestic objects as she opens and closes kitchen drawers, cabinets, the dish washer; he can hear utensils bump up against interior wooden walls. Mr. Allen conjures a flash of light pouncing on the landscape of things, sprung suddenly from the dark. He wonders if objects possess a sense of being.
It is as if I am in a dream, he thinks assuming a moment of adolescent existentialism. My actions are not entirely my own but I am more or less comfortable. He looks at his hands clasped in his lap and feels, for a moment, the texture of the corduroy underneath. Past his hands, legs, he looks at his feet in brown, waspy loafers. He isn't wearing socks. For a moment he imagines his actors feel this way in a set and, going against better judgment, makes the disquieting attempt to peer over the bounds of his imagined consciousness—
into the dark, a mottled grey behind his eyes, either the color of his brain or simply the color of what he'll never know—
His eyes glassy, he looks at you without seeing. "Talk to me, shout at me, so that I'll wake up and know that I'm here with you and that certain things really are just dreams." He is merely talking to himself, a recitation.
Truth be told, he cannot remember living in any other place. At the same time he does not remember how he came to be here.
He lifts a hand to feel his upper lip, relieved to find the moustache still in place.
The first opera singer ever recorded had past her prime when she was recorded. By then an old woman in her career, her voice wove through the aria like burning paper. Upon listening to the record, people of then recalled how remarkable she'd been before, as a young woman. "The best," they told their children, smitten by nostalgia.
Children, when grown, repeated the rumor to respective children. And everyone, ever since, has believed the first opera singer recorded to be the best singer there ever was, for their memories make her so and there is no evidence to the contrary.
The young people aren't any good in his movies. Terrible actors. They don't understand. They try too much to be like him; they aren't like him enough. They don't listen to his direction. They impersonate rather than become. Scarlet Johansson. Jason Briggs. Christina Ricci.
Mr. Allen crosses one leg over the other, relishing contempt. Doughy and plump and taut. Ripe. Budding.
The aroma of coffee wafts into the living room.
The dream is one of paradise. In the dream men and women live forever, a glistening surface projected by the whirring of gears and oil and machinations run by invisible, grease-stained hands. The dream is one of desire.
Mr. Allen has a hand on his temple. His eyes are closed and therefore he does not see the grey day so much as he feels it. Or, discovers the feeling of it. He can picture it in his mind. The leaves are turning in the park below, across the street; he does not see these either. He knows only they are there. For a moment he imagines that the changing leaves are expressed in the sound of loose interior cutlery. He thinks of the sun as something that pounces.
And then he concentrates:
Music comes from a computer on the desk in the opposite corner of the room. It sounds like it comes from a phonograph. Concentrating on static, the overarching fuzz and pop, as bad as any radio station, he imagines the music to be broadcast from the past.
Mr. Allen presses his fingers into his eyes, pinching the lids together almost, feeling a dull pressure in the back of his head. In the darkness behind his eyes; trying desperately to imagine what she might have sounded like—this siren—when she was young. Feeling through the static, for the traces of her youth. Straining back into the past, her voice the bridge.
In a record, he believes, there is the promise of eternity.
Someone said LA was like a Dream Factory. He said working in the Dream Factory was pretty tiring; he was pretty tired of making dreams. He complained about the silt he was always breathing—dream silt. He hoped one day to unionize the workers.
In a club in Brooklyn with Soon-yi: Mr. Allen has come to the conclusion that Soon-yi's friends, boys mostly, hide their sexuality from him. He is conscious of the shadows in the basement barroom—no windows, barely any light. Drums clatter and dash and bang as Mr. Allen is jostled occasionally by flanking, shiny strangers.
"One time in Romania I went to a bar we drank in bars that used to be dungeons they used to torture people in those bars. No I'm serious you could still see the burn marks on the sides of the brick where they used to keep lit torches while they tortured people." Soon-yi can't hear him and she smiles in a dreamy way watching the young boys on stage, watching the people at the club, hiding her mouth behind her hand; hiding her mouth from her friends across the room. Mr. Allen feels the shadows like a blanket. "I've been feeling so odd lately. I can't explain. I don't feel myself," he says. "I must be getting sick. You can have my whole fortune." Stuttering. "Did you hear? They finally arrested Polanski." But Soon-yi does not hear because she's dancing also, jostling up and down against the others in the room and Mr. Allen feels like an old man wearing socks.
It occurs to him that he will die childless, save for those things that he made in discrete instances; things starring himself in scenes he could control.
When Charles Darwin's turtle, Harriet, died in 2006, they discovered her organs had not aged at all. It was believed that, barring disease or accident, turtles could live forever for evidence of time was not apparent on any of her interior organs.
In Hollywood there is a single mother selling serums of Harriet's DNA on e-bay. It was manufactured abroad. Black market. It has not been tested. Some of her clients: Ashley Olson, Elizabeth Taylor, Heath Ledger, Michael Jackson etc.
The next band comes on stage, just after Mr. Allen looks at his watch, notes the time and wonders what time he might be able to go home—
Soon-yi talks to some of her male friends at the bar.
Mr. Allen looks around at everyone in the room and shakes his head. He looks again on stage.
The keyboardist looks exactly like him. Only younger. And shorter. Should the keyboardist step off the stage, he might stand a head shorter than Mr. Allen. Everything else about the fellow is spot on. He hears Soon-yi giggling across the room. He imagines her covering her mouth.
"I have a proposition for you," Mr. Allen says after the show. There are candles on the bar and they cast an irregular but welcome light. "I would like to hire you. Assume my life." They sit at the bar. His doppelganger drinks a whisky Mr. Allen has bought. "I'll pay you very well." Mr. Allen's hands dance around for emphasis. He finds himself regularly touching the young man, occasionally going so far as to pinch the fellow's shoulders now and again, testing the fellow's firmness. The sensation is exhilarating. Mr. Allen wonders, abstractly, if he was himself the same density once.
"Why should I do that?" the young man asks. He looks amused. He wears a plaid cowboy shirt with opalescent, buttons—snaps. Tight black jeans on and converse. Sideburns and Buddy Holly glasses. He smokes. His hands are smaller than Mr. Allen's.
"Only, you'd have to cut down your sideburns." Mr. Allen says, worried suddenly, brow knit. He studies the youth, looking for other discrepancies. "And maybe get just a slightly different haircut. I understand the times are different, but at least for the transition period, you'll need to adopt a little more of my style." With a sudden clarity of thought, Mr. Allen smiles, relived. "Oh! I know. You'll have to go away for a while. I'll send out a press release. I'll say I'm going abroad. You go abroad too. We can meet in another part of the world, somewhere where no one will know who we are. Then I can teach you how to be me. Then you can come back to America. It's very simple, really. We could even make movies abroad. When you, 'I'" he smiles and winks, "come back, no one will ever know the difference." The young man shakes his head. He seems not to understand. "This has to be good." Mr. Allen continues. "I'll pay you an exorbitant amount of money—where do you work? Retail?"
"Record store."
"Right. Good. Well. You're rich. Did you think it would be this easy?"
In the end:
After the first recording of the opera singer, but before the death of Harriet, an anthropologist and a sociologist made a movie with a cameraman and they traipsed around Paris and Saint-Tropez playing tag with a camera. The interviewee became the interviewer, each time asking, "Are you happy?"
No one was famous.

The Old Trade Routes Had a Traffic Control Plan
Roadways are some of the most important assets of a country and a traffic control plan drawing is what keeps it all running smoothly. It ensures the continual growth of the country's economy through commerce. Trade always began with the roadways. In ancient civilizations, the silk route was an important trade route which connected China with India for trade, especially silk. Such similar roadways were found in other civilizations too. Traffic was the issue that needed control in these roads. As more vehicles started using the roadways, controlling them required new methods of traffic control a plan was necessary.
A Plan for traffic Control
Traffic control plans ensures safety and smooth flow of the vehicles using these roadways. Traffic designs are very important for a cities vehicular transportation. They ensure smooth operation in transportation. Various methods are implemented in a traffic plan, such as computerized and hands on designing. Using real time simulations designs are tested and the efficiency is measured. The efficiency is calculated on the error rate produced and the delay in correcting them. After all it is human lives that are being controlled here and error is something that must be nullified. With much more predictive and future proof traffic design people can safely commute through the roads with complete trust that the traffic control plan requirements they rely upon will not fail them.
Earlier, cars were fewer in numbers and the speeds they traversed in were modest, this made controlling them easier and coming up with a working plan much easier. When the cars were first introduced to general public a man used to walk with a red flag in front of the car to warn others to move out of the way. This was very impractical and someone had to come with a pragmatic solution. The tri-colored traffic light was installed and so controlling the traffic was not the paramount concern of the authorities. With increase in the speeds at which cars could travel, this led to development of lane management and automated traffic light control.
The Future of the Traffic Control Plan
Traffic of the past was cars on wheels, traffic of the future could be cars that fly which will be a whole new ball game for the future traffic control planning. The traffic design of such future cars must be as practical as the cars themselves. Scientists and analysts are taking flight traffic control programs and running the simulations of a car in the air. Surprisingly they are proving to be efficient in controlling the traffic in the sky. The risk involved is much higher than the ones they encounter on land and so tests are continued to ensure zero chance of failure.
Traffic control plans first began with people sketching the roads and assigning traffic cops to operated the traffic. This was efficient at first as the number of cars was minimal and the humans in the place were intuitive and could make their own decisions when circumstances were unnatural. However with increase in the population of cars on the road the traffic cops were too slow and faster systems needed to be installed. Microchips were implemented to solve this problem and they are much more efficient compared to the human counter part. They never get exhausted of repeating the same job over and over while the efficiency is still maintained at the highest. Thus the only thing we need to get right are good solid traffic control plans.

BC Forest Discovery Centre takes direct hit.
That was the headline in the Cowichan Valley Citizen on January 4th, following the windstorm on December 20th, 2018.
It is only now that staff have had a chance to assess the major financial loss and extensive physical damage that the Centre received. As most know, the BCFDC is a not for profit museum, an educational facility and fun place to visit. We are so proud to be a part of the North Cowichan Community and are thankful for the support that we receive from our many volunteers and members of the municipality.
With the storm of December 2018, we lost three days of income from our one major annual fundraiser, The Christmas Express, on the three busiest days of the year. That means lost revenue to the Centre operations for the 2019 year and maintenance projects. Of course with the substantial damage to structures and equipment, plus the loss of beautiful trees that need to be replaced, we are left in the position of reaching out and asking for help from our many supporters.
After serious consideration, we decided we needed to begin a Fundraising Campaign to raise money that would go directly to repairing the damage and to replace our lost fundraising income.
We have made many improvements to the Centre over past five years, and added so many more events. We wish to continue offering these and to avoid taking a step backwards by having to cut back on the offering we have for our community and visitors to the Centre.
The BC Forest Discovery Centre would like you to ask you to assist us in our rebuilding by making a personal or corporate donation. As much as we appreciate financial donations, you can also assist by becoming a part of our family with the purchase of a membership, a family membership, or a membership for your business. It all helps us rebuild!
Just know, that the BC Forest Discovery Centre will continue to operate, bring our regions rich forestry history to locals and tourists, educate on its future, and create great family events and memories. Together, with your help, we can make 2019 an even better year for all of us!
Thank you from all of us at the BC Forest Discovery Centre. From the management, staff, volunteers, our visitors, and of course you, our loyal supporters.

Not all goals will work out, here are ways to test your life goal.
You're told that people who accomplish things pick goals and stick to them. We also hear plenty of stories about those who pursue life goals that take them nowhere and could never have been possible. How can you tell if the goals you are considering are worthwhile goals and the right goals for you?
Goals set the direction for your life. How viable are those goals? To measure anything you need a good ruler. Here is a set of measurement standards to help you decide if the goal you are considering is the right goal for you.
Is this goal consistent with my values?
You can pick a goal because it is popular or because you are told that is the thing you should be wanting, but you need to consider if when you reach this goal will you still like yourself. Will you be the person you would like to be?
It is easy to get caught up in the quest for someone else's goal. Society talks about goals like popularity and financial wealth. If those goals work for you then go for it. But you need to take a good look at what really makes you happy and what you are all about. It is not success if what you value most is family, but you spend your life making money and mailing it home so your family can live without you.
If I do this will my family or friends be proud of me?
There are lots of goals that you could accomplish. Ask yourself if this goal is something you would want your children sharing at school. Would you be proud that you accomplished this thing or is this a goal that needs to remain in the secret darkness?
Is it worth doing?
There are lots of things you might devote your life to. You could set all kinds of world records. But which records will make you feel like you have accomplished something and which are simply records for having done something a minute longer than someone else.
Can it be done? Not what they say but your belief.
Do you really believe in your heart that this is a possible goal? It is possible to trick yourself into believing that if you do this or that then you will be happy. If you are not happy in the process of getting there then you are unlikely to be happy when you reach that goal. Don't be the little kid in you spending your life digging a tunnel to China. Do find better ways to open up connections to far off places.
Can you do it?
Are you the right person to accomplish this goal? To reach goals you need to believe in yourself. Are you that person now or will you need to change yourself to get there? You may need more schooling or have to develop an underdeveloped strength.
Is it possible for you? Pursuing a sports goal when you are physically ill-suited for the sport may set yourself up for failure. You can hate music and practice but be pursuing a goal of fame by being the rock star on stage. Consider other ways you might achieve that goal of fame that are better suited to who you truly are.
If you find that you are not the right person for pursuing this goal then it is also likely that giving your life in pursuit of this goal is not the right thing for you.
What will get in your way – obstacles?
In selecting goals for yourself one often overlooked factor is the obstacles that will get in your way. How much money will this take? How much time will be needed? Do you have those resources or how will you raise the required money? Are you starting on a goal that will take several lifetimes to finish? What part of your plan will need to be modified or given up in order to overcome this obstacle?
When you develop this plan to overcome the obstacle will you find the effort in overcoming that barrier will have reduced the value of reaching that goal to the point you no longer want to pursue it?
Can I get past the obstacles?
Some obstacles can be overcome and some can't. Flying to the moon would have been an impossible achievement for someone living in colonial America. This goal required the invention of the airplane, missiles, and lots of other technology before it became possible. It required a large team effort.
Some obstacles can be overcome by you alone, others require help from contemporaries and some goals are just outside the possibilities of things as they are now.
Will the goal be worth the cost?
Reaching any goal requires expenditures and sacrifices. Always consider how much time, how much money and how much pain and effort will be required to reach your objective. Just make sure that once you are there that reaching this goal will have been worth the sacrifices.
If you fail (Don't make it) can you still be happy?
You want to be a great author and you write your whole life. No one may read that epic in your lifetime. Will it still be worth it? What if you wanted to play in the majors and you spend years trying. Will the journey be its own reward or will your life be ruined because you never made it to that goal?
If the pursuit of your objective is worth the effort by itself this is a great goal. If only the achieving will be worthwhile consider carefully what you will have given up or have lost in the pursuit of an unattained goal.

Connect with vegetarian and vegan friends from all over the world.
One of the things that bugs me the most is when friends introduce me as a vegetarian. "Hey this is Sam. She's a vegetarian." More often than not this new person responds with a weird face and and "Oh." I don't want the first thing someone think about me to be "Great. This carrot cruncher is going to lecture me and steal my hamburger." Fantastic. I just met you and you already think I'm a lunatic. I prefer to tell people in my own time. They can get to know me and know that I'm a normal (ish) person and then find out I'm a vegetarian. It's less of a shock and I feel more comfortable answering questions. I've had people say things like "Really? You're a vegetarian? You don't seem like one." when I get to tell them in my own time. There's a pretty harsh vegetarian stereotype. I don't like being shoved in that box. Does anyone else have problems with this? Or is this just a me thing?
If there's already a thread like this, I apologize. Didn't see it.
Views: 255
I feel the same way. I would never introduce a friend by saying "this is my friend Jody, she's a carnivore". I also don't want to be put on the spot to answer a dozen questions to a person I don't even know yet.
Every vegetarian and vegans are being stereotypicalised and such. We face this problem daily and are so every often mocked at. I too, hate it when people do that, acting like we're aliens and interrogating us...it's as if they suddenly became a nutritionist expert and starts to ask questions and judge us. Wish society wouldn't be like that and learn to be more mature and respectful about peoples choices.
This past weekend I was at a friends house and her aunt went on a rant about how everyone loves bacon. "Only crazy people don't like bacon!" (My friend actually HATES bacon but loves just about all other types of meat). I told her I didn't like bacon and that I was a vegetarian. Her eyes looked like they were going to pop out of her head. "But...but...how...what..what do you do about protein?" I explained to her that I ate lots of beans and nuts and she was still a little confused, but was polite. Two minutes later she asked if I wanted to try the beef and bean dish she was making (innocently). I reminded her I did not eat meat. "Oh! Right! Beef is meat. Sorry." Their whole family puts meat in EVERYTHING. This friend is also the one who introduces me as a vegetarian the most often. Likely because it is so strange for her and her family to not have meat.
It happens every now and again for me as well. When someone reacts by asking set-up-for-mockery questions is the only time I get upset.
My friends actually feeel pretty good about it....
My friends don't have a problem with me being a vegetarian. They just feel the need to tell everyone about it right away. It's some of the people I've been introduced to that have a problem. I'd really just rather tell people in my own time.
Daaamn, that's odd. I've never been introduced as vegan outside of context, like if I'm at a BBQ sure... That must be super annoying...
I have experienced times like that, it is really irritating, it shows a lack of understanding from others. I often get the "you look very healthy for a vegan" kind of response!
The worst experience i've had of this was when I was at a Festival in Croatia with my cousin. I was ill (just ill, not induced by anything) at the end of one evening and he decided to help me get back to our villa. To try and get a taxi quicker (or thats the reasoning that seemed to be going through his head) he was telling everyone in the queue "my cousin is ill, she's a vegan." as if that was the reason I was ill!!! I was devastated about that and even more so as he's a vegetarian himself! I could not believe it! Just wow!
Oh man... I've heard that one Radi! I always ask what they mean by me looking healthy for a vegan. They need to be worried about their own health with all the animal products they eat, shit...
Sorry to hear about that bad experience though, that was pretty ignorant of him.
I know! Its crazy! Someone once told me that i was as pale as i am because i'm vegan, i replied that actually its my natural skin tone as i'm blonde and fair skined! Silly people!
As for my cousin, he is very ego driven and I didnt take it too personally, i was more taken back by the fact that he is THAT ignorant!
Viva la vegan revolution! Hehe! x
Lmao, I guess that someone forgot that not all white people tan. I'm Portuguese-Italian and I don't hardly tan at all, my fam is from the mountains: Alps and Pyrenees (Spanish and French too hehe).
i'm a vegan and people also say that i'm a vegetarian cause few people around here even know about veganism, let alone being one.

Where To Start with Coolers and More
Build in Wine Refrigerators and Why They are Beneficial
This article is about wine cooling and why build it refrigerators have become popular to all wine lovers. Wine storage is important so that it is readily available for immediate use.
Without wine, occasions will not be complete. Wines have a great history and it has been a part of nearly every civilization that has existed in history.
If You Think You Get Wines, Then This Might Change Your Mind
Thus the argument about the refrigeration and storage of wine is not so contemporary. Barrels in basements was the storage used by the Romans and other civilizations a long time ago. Nowadays, there is a complete industry dedicated to storage and refrigeration of wines.
Smart Ideas: Refrigerators Revisited
So wines will be safe and its temperature tones to make it ready to serve anytime, they should be put in built in wine refrigerators.
Wine chillers and wine coolers are used interchangeably sometimes. Standard home chillers car not capable of controlling the humidity like modern wine coolers which are cellular in nature.
With build it wine refrigerators, the temperature is not allowed to fluctuate as with the case of home refrigerators which always suffer temperature fluctuation due to door opening and closing. The best storage temperature for most kinds of wines is generally fifty five degrees or thirteen degrees Celcius.
If you are to store red wines and rich wines, the ideal temperature is 59 to 67 degrees Fahrenheit. 47 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit is the ideal temperature for dry white and blush wines. If you will store Champagne they you will need much lower temperatures than these. Build in wines refrigerators were especially designed to store wines and to achieve the temperatures that are ideal for their storage.
Refrigerators that are best technology ones are noise free and has more room but they are also designed extremely compact to take the minimal space. There are also compartmentalized wine refrigerators so that different sorts of wines can be stored at different temperatures at the same time.
Since there are no other food items in a wine refrigerator, then it cannot be impacted by these items in the chiller. If you need a wine refrigerator then you can find many different shapes, sizes, and styles in the market. The price of the wine refrigerator is also affected by the technology used for it.
If you need to store only a few wine bottles in your kitchen, you will only need a tiny built in wine refrigerator. There are also shop level to industry level wine refrigeration units which is bigger than the ones you use at home. Wooden wine refrigerators adds style to your drawing room and it is also an indicator of your interest in wine culture.

I recently spent an hour in each of the following areas on the costa blanca – Altea, Moraria, Javea and Denia. Which area do you think is the most suitable for living year around?; thinking about seafront flats not houses in the hills…..
February 24, 2013 at 8:18 pm #115710
All of them have excellent sea front flats, Altea is more easily accessible, Moraira and Javea are not well served by public transport and Denia is older and more historic, but still has an emphasis on the Valenciano language which can be annoying.
The sea front apartments have held their prices well.
February 24, 2013 at 9:10 pm #115715
no, in Marbella, just feel like a change after so many years here!! also, have a boat and the area is more boat friendly!! 🙂
February 24, 2013 at 9:26 pm #115716
I have only driven through Altea (and it does seem that the main road does go straight through it).
I believe Moraira is dead out of season.
The most "out of seaon" times I have been to Javea are April and September and I found it pleasant enough at both times with plenty (but not too many) people around the place to not make it feel deserted. As far as living there permanently in a flat goes, I'd look at those Floridamar urbanisations near the port, or anything similar not too far from the port (I imagine the Arenal out of season could be a bit depressing).
I spent last Easter at Denia and while it is certainly bigger than Javea, and is in fact a working town with everyday stuff going on, it didn't really click with me. I think it is quite windy there and, being north of the montgo, certain areas can get quite damp. Don't forget that the gota fria can affect that region, but Javea seems to be sheltered by and on the sunny side of the Montgo.
To be honest the idea of spending winter anywhere that isn't a decent sized city with plenty going on doesn't really appeal to me, so I may not be the best person to ask. I was looking at buying in Javea with the aim of eventually spending a lot of time there, but not living year round. It does appeal to me in that sense, but for now renting there makes more sense than owning.
February 25, 2013 at 6:33 am #115722
Altea, Moraira, Javea and Denia are certainly boat friendly places and are quite near to each other. Altea and Denia are more people friendly, by numbers anyway.
I always think of Moraira and even Javea as pleasant places but at the end of a cul-de-sac, with only one major route in and out. It's not strictly true, but I'm ignoring the mountainous route from Javea to Denia, or the winding route from Moraira to the south along the coast, a dizzying road.
Comparing any of them to Marbella is difficult, the Costa Blanca towns don't have the same glitziness, they are more sedate and longer established places – Denia was an important town centuries ago and needed a castle to protect it from invaders, but Napoleon broke through and bombarded it, and a lot of the Denia inhabitants have French roots.
When I lived in Denia, they often discovered pre-Christian graves full of skeletons when repairing main streets. They left them open for the archaeologists for ages and it was strange walking down a street with a bag full of shopping, past skeletons from thousands of years ago.
It's not an experience to be recommended after midnight, when the street lights are out and some strong Spanish wine is distorting your vision.
February 25, 2013 at 9:35 am #115723
UBEDA, have you considered the Balearics? I'm not a boating person myself, but I think they have the best coastlines on the med side.

The area in Spain most suitable to all year round living is the Canary Islands. Forget about the costa blanca, try looking at Teneriffe or Gran Canaria or even Lazarote or Fuerteventura. If I was going to buy a property in Spain I think a place in the Canary Islands will be ideal. However, the islands are short of fresh water and the fresh water is produced from desalination plants which makes the water bills quite expensive. The islands tend to be windy because they are in the Atlantic Ocean. However, apartments are relatively cheap. You can easily buy a two bedroom flat in Teneriffe for as little as £40,000 or even cheaper at £30,000 if you haggle really hard and not too bothered about sea views.!
A low-budget Norwegian airline called "Norwegian Air Shuttle" will start offering return flights to the Canaries from London for as little as £100 soon.
I did go to the Canaries a while back and whilst I was in Teneriffe visted Playa de las Americas and Los Cristianos which are huge mega-resorts with plenty of shops. I didn't go to Los Gigantes unfortunately, maybe I'll go there next time, apparently Los Gigantes has a rather steep and high cliff face to the sea.
February 25, 2013 at 2:05 pm #115732
Chopera, I'd like to be close to Valencia, Madrid etc…. thanks Jake, Love the Canaries!!; €40,000?? no thanks very much 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆

Denia has much better beaches (many, long, wide), a nice castle, ferries to Balearics, the biggest mall in the area can be reached in 10 minute by car, there are some nice mountains/hills nearby. Go as much to the East as possible to avoid the shadow.
Javea is quite secluded but it is not as much shadowed by Montgo. The beaches are crowded over the Summer . I would chose areas on Calle Jesu pobre.
I might choose Denia between these two.
February 25, 2013 at 5:51 pm #115734
Horse meat has been found in IKEA products. Blimey, I thought that IKEA flat-pack furniture consisted of MDF or chip-board but not horse meat!
February 25, 2013 at 6:06 pm #115735
You may also find it in Pineapple cans.

When I last went to the housepricecrash pub meeting ten years ago in 2003 I was shocked to see that most of the people there were STR's and only one or two people were first-time buyers. The STR's were having a ball, congratulating one another and backslapping each other over how they managed to sell their house at an extortionate price to some poor naive gullible buyer, ripping off the buyer. These STR's were hoping that a property crash would happen soon after they sold their property which would enable them to get back onto the property ladder by buying a property on the cheap from a distressed homeowner but ten years has passed since that pub meeting and the property crash in the UK remains as elusive as ever.
The relentless money printing and quantitative easing by the bank of england has ensured that a property crash remains a distant dream for the STR's who so arrogantly thought that they could just get back onto the property ladder soon after selling their property but for over ten years these STR's have been paying dead money in rent which helped to pay off their landlord's mortgage and these STR's have been watching their money being eroded away by inflation and the situation is getting worse as interest rates on their savings plummet because of the Bank of englands QE and the latest funding for lending scheme has resulted in further falls in savings rates all of which means that the STR's fund money will be wiped out by inflation in the coming years.
February 26, 2013 at 11:38 am #115752
Jake I used to (and occasionally still do) post on HPC and actually had similar thoughts. The STRs who tried to play the market with their own homes back then were pretty stupid, and yes, greedy. They had bought their homes on the cheap but instead of sitting back and enjoying their good fortune they got greedy and tried to pick the top of the market with their homes. However I'm not sure what that has got to do with the Costa Blanca.

An official with the Central Bank of Iran (CBI) has stated that the country has at least 100 billion dollars in foreign exchange reserves. Speaking on condition of anonymity, he told the Fars News Agency that the foreign exchange reserve is different from the foreign exchange reserve account, noting that the figures announced by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and some CBI officials refer to the foreign exchange reserve and not the foreign exchange reserve account.
The official explained that the content of the foreign exchange reserve account is in constant fluctuation due to various inputs and outputs and certain times it might reach the zero level, without contradicting the statement that the country has at least 100 billion dollars in foreign exchange reserves. He also stated that Iran's abundant reserves of gold and various foreign currencies, which serve as a back-up to foreign exchange reserves, have put the Islamic Republic in an unparalleled position in the world.

GEORGE NEWS - Police confirmed this afternoon, Sunday 3 November, that rumours of a murder investigation into the most recent Voëlklip incident, where a mother and her two children went over a cliff, are false.
"At this stage no crime is suspected. All possibilities are being investigated, but at present only an inquest has been opened," Capt Malcolm Pojie, Southern Cape police spokesman, told the George Herald.
Heidi Scheepers and her children, Hugo (2) and Cozette (6), went missing on Tuesday 22 October after what was meant to be a quick visit to Herold's Bay beach, a popular beach not far from their home in Oubaai.
Hugo and Heidi's bodies have since been recovered from the water, but Cozette is still missing.
Although police and rescue divers have scaled down the search operation they have appealed to fishermen and surfers to be vigilant when in the water.
A memorial service will be held for Heidi and Hugo this coming Saturday at Eden Place church. The time still has to be confirmed.

Quick tax tip – claim your marriage allowance (if you are married!)
Author: Russell SmithJanuary 25, 2016
Readers of my blog and book will know that I am a big fan of marriage for tax purposes!
(For romance advice, please read other blog writers!).
Up to this point, the big advantage of being married for tax purposes was for capital gains tax and inheritance tax. However, now there is a new way to save tax for married couples – the marriage allowance.
This is for couples where one partner earns over £10,600 and one partner earns under so is not utilising their full personal allowance. You can transfer up to £1,060 to the partner with the lower income and save tax of up to £212.
It is pretty easier to do, follow this link….
The lower income partner needs to complete the form, all they need is full name, NI number and date of birth for both partners.
Fill it in and submit online. Tax codes are then adjusted by HMRC.
The maximum amount that can be shared is £1060 with a maximum tax saving of £212
The higher earner needs to have an income of between £10,600 and £42,385

East Anglia is an extraordinary region made up of the coastal counties of Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex together with inland Cambridgeshire. It is famous for many things, including bird watching, seaside resorts, historic buildings and countryside to revive the most jaded spirits. This region used to be a kingdom, and a mega-rich on at that. Its former rulers have left their mark on today's tourist trade.
That mark is probably best seen at Sutton Hoo, not a million miles from the port town of Felixtowe. This is a site of Anglo Saxon burial mounds, one of which was found on excavation to hold a 90 foot long wooden ship – supposedly a royal grave – along with treasures including a metalwork garment decorated with gold and gems, a ceremonial helmet, a shield, sword, lyre, and Byzantian silverware. Sutton Hoo is closed for redevelopment until March 2019, but replica treasures are touring the county throughout November.
Another link with the ancient past is Boudicca Way, a 36 mile footpath between Diss and Norwich. Celebrating the legendary warrior queen of the Iceni tribe, it passes through picturesque villages such as Shotesham, Saxlingham Nethergate and Pulham Market.
East Anglia is famous for the unique landscape of the Broads National Park, created from people's need to keep warm. Medieval folk dug here for peat and the holes filled with water, creating more than 60 lakes linked by seven rivers. The broads are relatively shallow and much loved by boaters and birds, as twitchers well know. This unique water world is the only National Park with a city in it and no visit to East Anglia could be considered complete without a visit to Norwich.
In Elizabethan times, Norwich was Britain's second wealthiest city next to London, thanks in large part to the cloth industry. Its busy modern scene welcomes visitors and invites them to enjoy a unique blend of ancient and modern heritage, not to mention a thriving arts scene. Why not explore 'Constable Country' in Dedham Vale, too, perhaps starting with a viewing an impressive collection of the painter's works at Christchurch Mansion, Ipswich.

By Annie Qureshi
Big data is touching our lives in numerous ways. By the year 2020, nearly 1.7 trillion megabytes of new information will be generated every second. The big data revolution is playing a tremendous role in the future of online marketing as well.
Here are some ways big data is a boon for the Internet marketing profession.
More Granular Approach to Optimization
Whether companies are trying to generate leads, boost Facebook or Instagram likes or focus on direct selling, they need to collect plenty of data to optimize their campaigns. Creating successful online marketing campaigns requires extensive testing and optimization. The more variables you track, the easier it is to improve your campaigns.
Before major advances in server technology and cloud computing, brands had to restrict the data they monitored, which limited their ability to optimize their campaigns. Today, big data allows them to retain much more extensive records of their marketing campaigns, which makes optimizing campaigns easier than ever.
Provide Better Targeting
Every experienced marketer agrees that targeting is the most important part of online marketing. Targeting your ads to the right users has a greater impact on your ROI than your landing pages, ads, day parting and virtually every other variable you can picture.
Big data has opened the door for more targeting options, particularly for social media advertisers. An infographic from WordStream highlights all of the targeting options advertisers have on Facebook, which include the following:
- Age range
- Gender
- Location
- Education level
- Place of employment
- Living situation
- Generation
- Ethnicity
- Familial status
- Political views
Marketers that understand their audience can fine tune their targeting to reach them carefully. Split-testing different targeting options can drastically improve your ROI.
Forecasting Demand
Too many marketers believe their only role is to come up with clickable, converting ads. While this is a crucial part of the job description, there are other things they must do.
Identifying what customers really want is equally, if not more important as advertising. Harvard Business Review interviewed a number of experts that said too many brands fail to understand their audience well.
"Listen to the feedback from the customers and reshape your idea and your product to fit what they actually want," one interviewee told them.
Another interview had similar feedback: "It's really all about understanding what the pain point is in the marketplace, and the best way to do that is to talk to prospects and validate, validate, validate your idea."
There are multiple ways to listen to your customers. Obviously, the easiest is to collect primary research data by conducting surveys. However, the data you collect will be limited.
Big data has opened new doors for companies that need to assess demand for their client's services. They can track engagement data to see how customers responded to similar ads and brands. They can help their clients develop product packages that align with their customers' needs.
Kristian J. Hammond discussed these benefits in detail at HBR.
"If we're going to really capitalize on Big Data, we need get to human insight at machine scale. We will need systems that not only perform data analysis, but then also communicate the results that they find in a clear, concise narrative form."
Paves Way for New Advertising Solutions
New advertising platforms are launched every year. Unlike traditional advertising (such as banner ads), these new platforms are heavily dependent on data to provide advertisers with detailed analytics and optimization capabilities.
Internet Marketers Must Embrace Big Data in 2017
Big data has changed the Internet marketing profession in extraordinary ways over the last few years. It will continue to transform the industry in new ways for years to come. Every marketer worth his salt will take the time to learn about the impact of big data and welcome it with open arms.

New York Legislation to Protect Animals
Please use your voice to support/oppose new legislative bills by contacting your representatives in the New York State Legislature.
2020 New York State Legislation
NYSHA plans an active 2020 advocating for numerous animal protection bills in the NYS Legislature. We hope you will also support these animal protection bills by contacting the legislators representing your district to express your backing.
Attached is a list of bills introduced in the 2019-2020 session that NYSHA supported or opposed, with information about each bill. Two important bills were passed and were signed into NYS law in 2019 – one to ban the declawing of cats and one that requires specific housing conditions and care of animals held by pet dealers.
Your Support is Important
Please help NYSHA be a strong voice for animals by ensuring that all our representatives make animal protection a priority. Educate yourself, know the issues, follow legislative activities, attend advocacy days, make phone calls, write letters, and keep fighting! We see growing support from our state legislators; however, much more work needs to be done.
We will keep you posted via email and Facebook notifications regarding activity on important animal related issues.

BioPerine Helps Boost Your Nutrients To The Next Level!
What is BioPerine?
BioPerine is the trade name of a special extract black pepper, called piperine. Piperine is the nutrient inside of black pepper where all of the supposed benefits of black pepper come from. The two names, BioPerine & Piperine mean the exact same thing.
So what is Bioperine? It's the active ingredient in black pepper that creates the unique spice-flavor that you tase when you eat black pepper.
Historically speaking, black pepper has long been regarded as beneficial to one's health. Physicians even in ancient times would often recommend it to relieve stomach aches.
As time has progressed and more research has been done about piperine, more benefits have been discovered which may help you live a healthier life.
What Does BioPerine Do?
The largest and most important benefit that BioPerine brings to the table is its ability to help boost the absorption rates of various molecules and nutrients that you ingest.
Often referred to as "bio-enhancement," this is simply the ability to help you get more out of other nutrients that you consume.
This is why BioPerine is such a common and important additive in many supplements on the market.
This increased bio-enhancement means that it helps your body absorb and use the ingredients found in many supplements.
Unfortunately with many supplements that don't contain BioPerine, while you may be eating 100 mg of a nutrient, your body will break down 97% of that nutrient leaving only 3 mg left for your body to actually use.
BioPerine helps to prevent your body from breaking down that nutrient too quickly so that your body can actually feel the effects of the nutrient.
Another way that Bioperine increases nutrient absorption is by increasing your metabolism by improving thermogenesis.
Thermogenesis is the process in which your body burns fat for heat energy.
That means that when combined with a healthy diet/exercise plan eating Bioperine may be used to help people regulate their weight.
It is also noted that BioPerine may also help improve dopamine and serotonin levels. The nutrient works with closely with these chemicals, increasing their levels.
This may have the ability to help individuals have more positive feelings, in part because they're involved with rewarding people with these feelings.
With an increased presence of these chemicals in their body, it's possible that people could improve their memory overall, which is something many people are striving for as they grow older.
What Are The Benefits of BioPerine?
- Increased nutrient absorption
- Boosts metabolism
- Weight regulation
- Increase mood
- Reduce inflammation
How much BioPerine Do You Take?
Typical daily dosage of BioPerine tends to range from 10 mg – 30 mg per day.
What Are the Side Effects Of BioPerine?
BioPeriene works by helping to boost the effectiveness and absorption rates of various nutrients and molecules. By itself it is harmless. However if combined with a toxic molecule that it then helps to become more effective, problems could arise.

Last weeks news of the FISA memo was a bombshell that appears to connect all the dots behind the real US election collusion of 2016.
The real collusion appear to have taken place between the Obama White House, the FBI, the DOJ, and the Clinton campaign in na effort to sabotage presidential candidate Trump.
GOP Reps are now demanding the FISA memo be made public stating that Americans deserve to know the truth about the Russia investigation.
Investigative reporter Sara Carter said the FISA memo is so explosive it could end the Robert Mueller Russia investigation.
Via The Gateway Pundit…
The House Intel panel's passage of New York Republican Rep. Peter King's motion to release the FISA abuse memo to fellow House members has rocked Washington, D.C.
Lawmakers from Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) to Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) have called for the classified memo's immediate release. According to Fox News contributor Sara Carter, the contents of the memo are so "explosive," that it could end special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe. Additionally, the memo's release could lead to the prosecution of top FBI and Justice Department officials.
Sara Carter reports…
More than 130 congressional members have viewed the classified four-page memo detailing what senior government officials describe as "disturbing and explosive" surveillance abuse by employees of the FBI and Department of Justice under the Obama administration against President Trump and members of his campaign.
The classified memo was described by senior government officials as a detailed account of the House Intelligence Committee's investigation into the FBI and apparent FISA abuse associated with the controversial dossier that alleged President Trump colluded with Russia during the 2016 presidential election. As recently reported, some congressional members who reviewed the memo said the revelations may end in the removal or criminal prosecution of senior officials in the FBI and Department of Justice.
Meanwhile attorney and Fox News analyst Gregg Jarrett says the FISA memo will show "numerous felonies" by top Obama DOJ and FBI officials. Jarrett notes that the criminal actions may result in up to 10 years in prison.
Top officials should be impeached which means they can't hold another government position. But I suspect this intel document is going to reveal multiple felonies by high ranking officials at the FBI and Department of Justice. There's a federal felony statute it's called Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law and it says that a government official cannot use their government position to deprive somebody of their constitutional rights. Here it's the constitutional right to privacy… If the DOJ goes into a federal judge using a fake false document to obtain a warrant to spy that's a violation, it's a felony, it's 10 years behind bars.
The Gateway Pundit reports that Republican lawmakers have begun lobbying Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes to release the memo.
"Earlier this morning, I examined the classified, four-page memo from @HouseIntelComm regarding the FBI, DOJ, and the so-called #RussianCollusion. To put it simply, "WOW." I joined the call to #ReleaseTheMemo. Americans deserve truth and transparency," tweeted Rep. Jody Hice (R-GA).
The letter was signed by Steve King, Matt Gaetz, Mark Meadows, Jim Jordan, Andy Biggs, Scott Perry, Ted Yoho, Jody Hice, Louie Gohmert, Barry Loudermilk and Brian Babin, reports Jim Hoft of The Gateway Pundit.

May 5, 1993, Section C, Page 15Buy Reprints
"History is about to crack open," says Ethel Rosenberg, back from the dead, as she confronts a cadaverous Roy Cohn, soon to die of AIDS, in his East Side town house. "Something's going to give," says a Brooklyn housewife so addicted to Valium she thinks she is in Antarctica. The year is 1985. It is 15 years until the next millennium. And a young man drenched in death fevers in his Greenwich Village bedroom hears a persistent throbbing, a thunderous heartbeat, as if the heavens were about to give birth to a miracle so that he might be born again.
This is the astonishing theatrical landscape, intimate and epic, of Tony Kushner's "Angels in America," which made its much-awaited Broadway debut at the Walter Kerr Theater last night. This play has already been talked about so much that you may feel you have already seen it, but believe me, you haven't, even if you actually have. The new New York production is the third I've seen of "Millennium Approaches," as the first, self-contained, three-and-a-half- hour part of "Angels in America" is titled. (Part 2, "Perestroika," is to join it in repertory in the fall.) As directed with crystalline lucidity by George C. Wolfe and ignited by blood-churning performances by Ron Leibman and Stephen Spinella, this staging only adds to the impression that Mr. Kushner has written the most thrilling American play in years.
"Angels in America" is a work that never loses its wicked sense of humor or its wrenching grasp on such timeless dramatic matters as life, death and faith even as it ranges through territory as far-flung as the complex, plague-ridden nation Mr. Kushner wishes both to survey and to address. Subtitled "A Gay Fantasia on National Themes," the play is a political call to arms for the age of AIDS, but it is no polemic. Mr. Kushner's convictions about power and justice are matched by his conviction that the stage, and perhaps the stage alone, is a space large enough to accommodate everything from precise realism to surrealistic hallucination, from black comedy to religious revelation. In "Angels in America," a true American work in its insistence on embracing all possibilities in art and life, he makes the spectacular case that they can all be brought into fusion in one play.
At center stage, "Angels" is a domestic drama, telling the story of two very different but equally troubled young New York couples, one gay and one nominally heterosexual, who intersect by chance. But the story of these characters soon proves inseparable from the way Mr. Kushner tells it. His play opens with a funeral led by an Orthodox rabbi and reaches its culmination with what might be considered a Second Coming. In between, it travels to Salt Lake City in search of latter-day saints and spirals into dreams and dreams-within-dreams where the languages spoken belong to the minority American cultures of drag and jazz. Hovering above it all is not only an Angel (Ellen McLaughlin) but also an Antichrist, Mr. Leibman's Roy Cohn, an unreconstructed right-wing warrior who believes that "life is full of horror" from which no one can escape.
While Cohn is a villain, a hypocritical closet case and a corrupt paragon of both red-baiting and Reagan-era greed, his dark view of life is not immediately dismissed by Mr. Kushner. The America of "Angels in America" is riddled with cruelty. When a young WASP esthete named Prior Walter (Mr. Spinella) reveals his first lesions of Kaposi's sarcoma to his lover of four years, a Jewish clerical worker named Louis Ironson (Joe Mantello), he finds himself deserted in a matter of weeks. Harper Pitt (Marcia Gay Harden), pill-popping housewife and devout Mormon, has recurrent nightmares that a man with a knife is out to kill her; she also has real reason to fear that the man is her husband, Joe (David Marshall Grant), an ambitious young lawyer with a dark secret and aspirations to rise high in Ed Meese's Justice Department.
But even as Mr. Kushner portrays an America of lies and cowardice to match Cohn's cynical view, he envisions another America of truth and beauty, the paradise imagined by both his Jewish and Mormon characters' ancestors as they made their crossing to the new land. "Angels in America" not only charts the split of its two central couples but it also implicitly sets its two gay men with AIDS against each other in a battle over their visions of the future. While the fatalistic, self-loathing Cohn ridicules gay men as political weaklings with "zero clout" doomed to defeat, the younger, equally ill Prior sees the reverse. "I am a gay man, and I am used to pressure," he says from his sick bed. "I am tough and strong." Possessed by scriptural visions he describes as "very Steven Spielberg" even when in abject pain, Prior is Mr. Kushner's prophet of hope in the midst of apocalypse.
Though Cohn and Prior never have a scene together, they are the larger-than-life poles between which all of "Angels in America" swings. And they could not be more magnetically portrayed than they are in this production. Mr. Leibman, red-faced and cackling, is a demon of Shakespearean grandeur, an alternately hilarious and terrifying mixture of chutzpah and megalomania, misguided brilliance and relentless cunning. He turns the mere act of punching telephone buttons into a grotesque manipulation of the levers of power, and he barks out the most outrageous pronouncements ("I brought out something tender in him," he says of Joe McCarthy) with a shamelessness worthy of history's most indelible monsters.
Mr. Spinella is a boyish actor so emaciated that when he removes his clothes for a medical examination, some in the audience gasp. But he fluently conveys buoyant idealism and pungent drag-queen wit as well as the piercing, open-mouthed cries of fear and rage that arrive with the graphically dramatized collapse of his health. Mr. Spinella is also blessed with a superb acting partner in Mr. Mantello, who as his callow lover is a combustible amalgam of puppyish Jewish guilt and self-serving intellectual piety.
The entire cast, which includes Kathleen Chalfant and Jeffrey Wright in a variety of crisply observed comic cameos, is first rate. Ms. Harden's shattered, sleepwalking housewife is pure pathos, a figure of slurred thought, voice and emotions, while Mr. Grant fully conveys the internal warfare of her husband, torn between Mormon rectitude and uncontrollable sexual heat. When Mr. Wolfe gets both of the play's couples on stage simultaneously to enact their parallel, overlapping domestic crackups, "Angels in America" becomes a wounding fugue of misunderstanding and recrimination committed in the name of love.
But "Angels in America" is an ideal assignment for Mr. Wolfe because of its leaps beyond the bedroom into the fabulous realms of myth and American archetypes, which have preoccupied this director and playwright in such works as "The Colored Museum" and "Spunk." Working again with Robin Wagner, the designer who was an essential collaborator on "Jelly's Last Jam," Mr. Wolfe makes the action fly through the delicate, stylized heaven that serves as the evening's loose scenic environment, yet he also manages to make some of the loopier scenes, notably those involving a real-estate agent in Salt Lake City and a homeless woman in the South Bronx, sharper and far more pertinent than they have seemed before.
What has really affected "Angels in America" during the months of its odyssey to New York, however, is not so much its change of directors as Washington's change of Administrations. When first seen a year or so ago, the play seemed defined by its anger at the reigning political establishment, which tended to reward the Roy Cohns and ignore the Prior Walters. Mr. Kushner has not revised the text since -- a crony of Cohn's still boasts of a Republican lock on the White House until the year 2000 -- but the shift in Washington has had the subliminal effect of making "Angels in America" seem more focused on what happens next than on the past.
This is why any debate about what this play means or does not mean for Broadway seems, in the face of the work itself, completely beside the point. "Angels in America" speaks so powerfully because something far larger and more urgent than the future of the theater is at stake. It really is history that Mr. Kushner intends to crack open. He sends his haunting messenger, a spindly, abandoned gay man with a heroic spirit and a ravaged body, deep into the audience's heart to ask just who we are and just what, as the plague continues and the millennium approaches, we intend this country to become.

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — More than $11,400 in cash and about 380 grams of THC oil and wax — most of which was infused into candy — was seized Friday during a traffic stop in north Houston, according to the Harris County Pct. 4 Constable's Office.
Investigators said the driver was identified as Gilbert Farias, 23, who now faces two counts of first degree felony possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver.
The alleged drug dealer was arrested after officers stopped his vehicle in the 17400 block of the North Freeway. Deputies also report finding over 60 grams of illegal mushrooms inside the suspect's vehicle. Investigators believe the cash was profits made from selling illegal drugs.
Farias was booked into the Harris County Jail where his bond has yet to be set.
The constable's office said the money will be used for purchasing safety equipment for its deputies.

Of all the rock'n'jock concerts capitalizing on New York City's proximity to the Super Bowl this weekend, only one had the cheerleaders of both the Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks shaking their pompoms simultaneously to Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Give It Away," as balloons repping each band's team showered down on the revelers. That's because Saturday night's "Big Hello to Brooklyn," the first Chili Peppers concert in New York City since 2006, was a rock'n'jock concert put on by a company that could pull off such a feat: sports-radio station WFAN.

4 out of 5 Great hockey bag
Newitts Verified Purchase (22 Sep 2019)
Everything is as described in the information,m. Vibrant colours, secure hold for stick, very spacious and comfortable to have as a rucksack or use as a hold bag. The only thing stopping me giving it 5 stars is the side pocket with a vent in used for my shoes is a little on the small side - I would say anything above a size 7 would have to be placed in the main compartment. On the whole I'm happy with this stick bag.

Being a home owner can be exciting and at times, well.... not so exciting. Having kiddos takes home projects to a new level too, as least for me. Case in point, my kids experiment with flushing a bathtub toy was a FAIL. Which led to discovering the toilet flange was completely rusted away and had been leaking slowly. I wanted to remodel our guest bathroom, it just began sooner than expected (see what was uncovered in the subflooring--replaced underlayment & subfloor--joists were ok).
Knowing & trusting contractors and craftspeople is KEY. Electrician, carpenter, plumber, mason, custom door maker, the list is LONG if you have the ability to dream! Craftspeople have the ability to make your vision of a space a reality (and tolerate you along the way). I like to be be involved (DIYer to the core!) . I like the look of tile but had never installed....so the bathroom remodel was also a learning experience.
