Eighty-six years is a long time between Broadway revivals, especially since they seem to be coming faster than they used to.
So "Machinal," which first appeared on Broadway in 1928, opened Thursday with more than a few in the audience wondering if a play last seen here during the Calvin Coolidge administration was scrap metal or salvageable.
The answer: The Roundabout Theatre Company's new production has kept the quirky engine but surrounded it with a good-looking chassis and new lighting and audio systems. It's even put in the driving seat the enormously appealing Rebecca Hall under the artful, creative direction of Lyndsey Turner.
The result at the American Airlines Theatre is a quirky, sometimes melodramatic and expressionist scream from the past that somehow still can move you.
Written by journalist Sophie Treadwell, "Machinal" was inspired by the true story of Ruth Snyder, a New York woman who died in the electric chair in 1928, convicted of killing her husband following an affair.
The title comes from the French "mechanical" or "automatic," and Treadwell uses staccato telegraphese, recurring and irritating rhythms and cliche-ridden repetition — the sounds of the nerve-racking city.
Her story is about a delicate dreamy woman named Helen Jones, who finds modern life unbearable — business, marriage and motherhood. Even commuting on a subway jammed up against an endless line of bodies is nauseating, as the terrific first scene shows.
"I'm all tight inside," she tells her mother. "I can't go on much longer like this."
She marries her boss (a bombastic and perfectly off-putting Michael Cumpsty), starts an affair with a stud muffin (tough guy Morgan Spector, doing a little Brando), goes on trial when her husband ends up dead and ends up in the electric chair, as much a victim as a perpetrator. Murder may not be forgivable a solution, but it is somewhat more understandable.
Hall, known for her film work in "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" and "Iron Man 3," uses her wide, soulful eyes to terrific effect, telegraphing her inexorable 95-minute march to ultimate tragedy. A tall, long-limbed beauty, Hall projects a coltish unease and otherworldliness in the role, a woman ultimately in the wrong place and time.
Set designer Es Devlin has created a massive revolving, wood-paneled box that reveals more-than-possible adaptations over nine scenes, including the march to the death house in which it spins as fast as the actors march.
The effect is marvelous, especially when wed with lighting designer Jane Cox's unsettling brightness and shadows as well as harsh bands of light, and Matt Tierney's soundscape that includes mechanical thumps and engine noises.
"Machinal" is by no means perfect or smooth. There's a court scene that seems a jarring change from the mood of the rest, and it's peopled by flat characters spouting gibberish. Not for everyone, it's a moody, jarring meditation on the modern world that's a critique of capitalism, mechanization and male-dominated power. For 86, it looks pretty, weirdly good.
Back on Broadway for the first time since 1928, "Machinal" draws loose inspiration from real-life husband-killer Ruth Snyder to tell a story of a desperate young woman who resorts to homicide to escape the misery of a suffocating, dronelike life.
The dehumanization depicted in the drama includes marriage and motherhood — typically the stuff of dreams, not nightmares — so journalist-turned-playwright Sophie Treadwell's seldom-seen "masterpiece" (at least in the words of the Playbill) offers the potential for a gutsy and subversive take on life.
Cheers to the Roundabout for choosing this atypical and rather risky show — an Expressionist play with emblematic characters and spare, staccato dialogue. But kudos don't equal success.
Treadwell's play is stylish but slight. It does, however, provide compelling evidence for the gifts of British director Lyndsey Turner, whose New York debut demands you sit bolt upright and take notice.
To create the mood of a woman trapped, Turner and her ace design team place her inside a rotating box that morphs with each scene. Purring with sleekly elegant beauty, the physical staging is the star here.
That much is clear from the wordless opening, which shows Helen (Rebecca Hall) getting groped in a sardine-can subway car on her way to her soul-stifling stenographer job. Once there, her workplace is jammed with robotic colleagues — little respite from the small apartment she shares with an oppressive mother (Suzanne Bertish).
Helen's marriage to her jabbering boss (Michael Cumpsty) is just as choking. She recoils from his touch. She doesn't want her baby daughter.
What follows is illogical plotting. Somehow, for example, the dead-eyed, plodding Helen ends up in a bar and meets a young man (Morgan Spector), who opens her up like the flowered dress she wears. Why is Helen even there? Where does that 180-degree turn come from? It's all completely unclear.
Hall, known for films like "The Town" and "Iron Man 3," hides her beauty and plummy English accent as Helen. She's sturdy at some times, singsong in others. Hall's stature and height allow her to strike a physical presence, but when it comes to Helen's freeform monologues, she's emotionally empty.
"Machinal" doesn't elicit strong reaction — but it's well served by the world and well-oiled machine created by Turner.
One of the most thrilling shows on Broadway is about a woman who kills her husband in cold blood. That would pack in the tourists . . . if we were talking about "Chicago."
Sophie Treadwell's "Machinal" isn't a sexy musical but an obscure drama — one that hadn't been revived on Broadway since its 1928 premiere. It's written in a modernist prose style, which is quite abstract, at times even experimental.
All told, it's a tough sell, but director Lyndsey Turner and her star, Rebecca Hall — Scarlett Johansson's reasonable friend in "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" — have made it a must-see.
It starts off brilliantly, with the tall, young Helen (Hall) trapped in a mass of straphangers on a packed subway car, which is rendered in all its claustrophobic horror.
The stage rotates — Es Devlin's set makes fantastic use of a large turntable — and we're now in a busy New York office, where Helen's a secretary.
Jane Cox's expressionistic lighting and Matt Tierney's inventive sound design help create a suffocating atmosphere. You can see the skittish Helen being driven nuts by the subway crowds, the clickety-clack of typewriters and her colleagues' incessant chatter.
"It's like I'm all tight inside," she tells her needy, nagging mother (Suzanne Bertish). "Sometimes I feel like I'm stifling!"
Desperate to escape, Helen marries her domineering boss (Michael Cumpsty, looking like a baddie from a '30s noir flick). But she flinches at his touch — she hates his "fat hands" — and breaks down on her wedding night. She soon gives birth to a child she doesn't want, and later has an affair with a man (the strapping Morgan Spector) she meets in a speakeasy.
Things don't end well for anybody: The play is based on the real case of Ruth Snyder, who killed her husband in 1927 and was the first woman to die in the electric chair.
"Machinal" is a vivid, bracing portrait of a woman pushed to the edge, but it doesn't involve any weepy psychologizing. The dialogue is highly stylized and the sophisticated-looking production follows suit, a shocker coming from the usually conservative Roundabout.
What makes the show so fascinating is the contrast between its cerebral approach and Hall's compassionate performance. In her Broadway debut, the English actress effortlessly navigates stream-of-consciousness monologues while helping us relate to this opaque character.
Helen may feel like a cog in a machine, but Hall makes her all too human.
A desperate life blazes amid devouring shadows in the Roundabout Theater Company's intensely stylish revival of "Machinal," Sophie Treadwell's fascinating play from 1928 about one woman's captivity in a hell called New York City. That life is embodied by the charismatic British stage and film star Rebecca Hall, in her Broadway debut, so you can bet that it's going to burn bright.
I'll admit I was dubious when I learned Ms. Hall was playing the tragically crushable Young Woman in "Machinal," which has been staged by another powerhouse Briton new to Broadway, Lyndsey Turner. In take-charge parts like Vivie in "Mrs. Warren's Profession" (her London debut) and Rosalind in "As You Like It," Ms. Hall had such a vibrantly blooming stage presence that the idea of her as a passive natural-born victim sounded absurd.
Yet in "Machinal," which opened on Thursday night at the American Airlines Theater in its first Broadway revival, Ms. Hall must struggle to hold her own against an overbearing co-star. That would be Es Devlin's revolving, scene-stealing set, which portrays a juggernaut of doom — i.e., modern urban existence — that flattens all in its path.
You might say such a battle, pitting a lone specimen of humanity against a marvel of technology and artifice, only underscores the haunting determinism of "Machinal," and I wouldn't argue. And even if the Young Woman is clearly headed for extinction from the first scene, Ms. Hall's emotionally transparent performance is never overwhelmed by what surrounds it.
So the contest between star and scenery ends in a draw. It's most of the supporting cast who are the casualties here, in ways that I think dilute the hypnotic cadences and potential impact of Treadwell's drama.
Treadwell (1885-1970) was a prolific and successful playwright and journalist. But "Machinal" is the one work for which she's known today, and it's a rare and disturbing beauty. (I was introduced to it by a revelatory 1990 production at the Public Theater, directed by a young Michael Greif.) Its plot was inspired by the story of Ruth Snyder, a Long Island housewife who murdered her husband and died in the electric chair at Sing Sing. Yet there's nothing tabloid about the play's style.
On the contrary, "Machinal" is a jagged symphony of voices, in which speech itself sounds as if it had come off a mass-production assembly line, spoken by people disconnected from their own words. As a portrait of a misfit protagonist in a regimented universe, "Machinal" echoes Expressionist works like Eugene O'Neill's "The Hairy Ape" (1922) and Elmer Rice's "The Adding Machine" (1923).
What sets Treadwell's play apart is the gender of its central character, who is conceived with the kind of tender, probing empathy you associate with the interiority of modernist fiction. (For the record, Ms. Hall hasn't found an entirely persuasive delivery for the play's stream-of-consciousness monologues.) The Young Woman, whose appropriately generic name is Helen Jones, faces an even greater tyranny of rules and limitations than O'Neill's and Rice's hapless men.
Living in the city with her harridan of a mother (Suzanne Bertish), and working as an untalented stenographer, she marries her small-minded, smothering boss (a miscast Michael Cumpsty). After all, what are her choices? All the while she longs for an abstract and impossible freedom. When she falls into bed with a romantically rough-hewed man (a fine Morgan Spector, in a part originated by Clark Gable), she believes that liberty awaits her, if she can only unshackle herself.
The sense of the Young Woman's imprisonment, which begins long before her arrest in her husband's murder, is given harrowing and exquisite life by Ms. Devlin and a design team that also includes Jane Cox (lighting), Michael Krass (costumes) and Matt Tierney (sound). The first scene is a stunner.
It portrays a moving subway car, eerily transected by bars of light and crammed with interchangeable bodies in shades of gray. In their midst, Ms. Hall's wan but luminous face registers like an out-of-season crocus in an ash heap. Her wide-open features signal pain and panic, which will prove to be her habitual expression. There is no chance this exotic, bruisable flower will endure.
That first vision establishes the counterpoint that runs throughout all that follows. Ms. Devlin's revolving set (she used the same idea for Ms. Turner's hit production of Lucy Kirkwood's "Chimerica" in London) turns as inexorably as the earth to reveal our heroine amid a series of inhospitable vistas, from the office to the bedroom. Every design detail — like the immense, sickly colored curtains that cover windows — seems to confirm and mock her feelings of confinement.
The same forbidding quality should also be evident in how the other characters talk and move, and it's here that this "Machinal" falls short. Treadwell wrote dialogue in which clichés hammer, relentlessly and insensibly, at her heroine. Of the large cast, only the estimable Mr. Cumpsty appears to grasp fully this concept, with harshly rhythmic line readings that match the production's mechanistic look.
Try as he might to conceal it, though, Mr. Cumpsty is a fit and attractive man, while his character (whose "fat hands" are mentioned in disgust) is meant to be so repulsive that the heroine's "skin curls" at his very touch. Allowing for the age difference, he's not all that different from the handsome soldier of fortune with whom the Young Woman falls in love.
Mr. Spector is just right in the scenes he shares with Ms. Hall, and his low-key spontaneity makes sense. In his arms, life for her briefly seems real instead of a nightmare. But for these enchanted glimpses to exert their full force, we need more rigorously stylized and synchronized performances elsewhere. The ensemble acting is so diffuse and varied that scenes that should be achingly suspenseful, like the climactic trial, often sag.
That slackness has the unfortunate side effect of making Ms. Hall's character seem less a sensitive victim of a brute society than of her own mental illness. As a consequence, "Machinal" feels more like a diary of a mad housewife (or even Roman Polanski's creepy film classic "Repulsion") than is entirely suitable. Still, it's a thrill to have as illuminating a guide as Ms. Hall to take us through the twisting corridors of derangement.
Describing "Machinal" as ahead of its time is just the tip of the revelations in Sophie Treadwell's 1928 expressionist stunner. This little-known adventure in psychological, sociological and stylistic boundary-pushing -- not on Broadway in 86 years -- has been given a dazzling, daring revival that feels especially startling in the doggedly conventional environs of the Roundabout Theatre Company's American Airlines Theatre.
The lavish yet beautifully stark production reintroduces Treadwell, the pioneering American journalist and criminally forgotten author of more than 40 plays, and introduces to Broadway the provocative British director Lyndsey Turner and gifted, courageous actress Rebecca Hall.
In just 95 minutes, Treadwell takes us into the dehumanizing world of the machine age and into the desperately limited life of a sensitive, ordinary woman. She is called, simply, Young Woman, but her journey -- from secretary to the wife of her overbearing boss and to her execution for his murder -- is anything but generic.
It cannot be easy to play a character so tightly trapped behind society's facade. But Hall -- with a beanpole body like an exclamation point and a face of a thousand worried looks -- brings us deep inside the long, virtuosic bursts of halting half-sentences and tangled mazes of internal monologues.
We first meet her squashed and panicked in a crowded subway car, one of several wordless new scenes that Turner adds as strikingly visual connective tissue between what Treadwell calls her nine tight, far-reaching "episodes." Eighteen first-rate actors, many playing multiple characters, talk in punchy, staccato fragments with a rat-a-tat satirical flair that could have been written by David Mamet.
Although the woman's life is stunting and stifling, Treadwell opens it up so we can eavesdrop on surrounding conversations. At a table in a speak-easy, an older man tries to talk a younger man into coming home with him. At another table, a man talks a woman into having an abortion because "It don't amount to nuttin'."
Michael Cumpsty has an almost touching lack of self-awareness as Husband, whose unbearable bromides contrast violently with the passion of Young Woman's Lover (the charismatic Morgan Spector), a drifter with the freedom she can never have.
All this happens on Es Devlin's extraordinary set -- a rectangle of corrugated, prison-brown rooms on a turntable. Costumes, by Michael Krass, capture the dark, pulpy allure of the era. The lights, by Jane Cox, are almost a separate character, moving shafts that seem to have escaped from the bottom of the window shade that, remarkably, keeps Treadwell's doomed Everywoman from unattainable freedom.
When we first spot the central character in Sophie Treadwell's 1928 play Machinal in its current Roundabout Theatre Company revival (**½ out of four stars), she is darting frantically through a packed subway car. The "Young Woman," as she is identified in the text, has an unusually strong aversion to being trapped — and not just in physically close spaces.
The woman, whose name is eventually revealed to be Helen, works as a stenographer and lives with her mom, "Mother," introduced in an early scene as an irrational shrew. Before long, Helen has married her wealthy boss, one Mr. Jones ("Husband"), and given birth to his daughter, but is more miserable than ever.
Only after she meets a sexy guy in a speakeasy does Helen's outlook brighten. She begins an extramarital affair, and then decides, probably for the first time in her life, to do something really unconventional. And since Machinal was inspired by the true story of Ruth Snyder — a New York City housewife convicted of murdering her husband and executed in the electric chair in 1928 -- it isn't pretty.
Treadwell, an intrepid journalist as well as a playwright, attended (but didn't officially cover) hearings of Snyder's trial. But as the character titles suggest, Machinal is an expressionist drama in which Helen emerges more as a symbol than a human being. The play's bleak portrait of an unstable woman who feels stifled by her limited options — a feeling reinforced by the relentless, hypnotic hammering of Treadwell's dialogue — was clearly daring in its time.
Yet this stark new staging, which opened Thursday at the American Airlines Theatre, forces us — and its cast, rigorously directed by Lyndsey Turner — to confront Machinal's own limitations. From the opening subway segment (Turner's addition) on, we get a keen sense of how Helen, played by Rebecca Hall in her Broadway debut, feels smothered by everything and everyone around her. The actors playing her colleagues shout their repetitive lines; Helen's mother, brought to brief but blazing life by the superb Suzanne Bertish, is a constant source of agitation.
Life with Husband — a caricature of a condescending (and harrowingly dull) patriarch, gamely played by the always-excellent Michael Cumpsty — is no picnic either.
But it must be said that Hall's Helen is as frustrating as any of them. An accomplished stage actress with acclaimed British productions of Shakespeare and Shaw under her belt, the leading lady seems stumped by her character's exaggerated inability to articulate her unhappiness beyond vague yearnings for freedom.
Speaking robotically and sustaining an air of barely repressed hysteria, Hall grapples with her stream-of-consciousness monologues. One begins with "Let me alone," touches on Saint Peter and the Virgin Mary and concludes with "I'll not submit."
By the time Machinal runs its course, theatergoers may feel as if they're the ones who have been beaten into submission, by an anti-heroine who inspires dark fascination but little empathy.
Enthralled as we are to our digital gadgetry, you'd think we'd identify with the heroine of "Machinal," Sophie Treadwell's 1928 Expressionistic melodrama (inspired by the infamous Ruth Snyder case) about a woman driven to murder trying to escape her fate in a mechanized society. Helmer Lyndsey Turner's stunning production creates an appropriately bleak environment for this dark drama, and Rebecca Hall (a member of British theatrical royalty better known for her movie work) makes a compelling case for this fragile creature. But it's tough to empathize with someone who lacks a backbone and hasn't a brain in her head.
Under Turner's masterful staging, the opening scenes provide a bone-chilling perspective on the life of the unnamed Young Woman played with emotional delicacy by Hall. Working within the Expressionist theatrical style popular in Europe in Treadwell's day, the director and her crack design team conjure up nightmarish images of a modern world as it's experienced by a neurasthenic woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
Headed for work on a New York subway train in 1922, the Woman cringes from the stiflingly close body contact with the strangers who press in all around her. In Jane Cox's painterly lighting design, Hall's pale face peers out in stark contrast with her fellow travelers, expressionless automatons identically dressed (according to the austere design of Michael Krass) in muddy colors and silently moving in robotic lockstep.
That unnerving image is replaced by another disturbing tableau when Es Devlin's hugely impressive revolving set takes a dramatic turn and abruptly deposits the Woman in her office.
Matthew Herbert's sober original music and Matt Tierney's oppressive sound design dominate the storytelling here, assaulting the Woman's ears with a maddening cacophony of clattering typewriters, jangling telephones and slamming file drawers. The anonymous staff in this unnamed business (played by first-rate ensemble members who do double and triple duty as the story develops) are dressed in the same drab tones as those silent robots in the subway, but here they have found their voices.
The Young Woman doesn't find her own voice until the set takes another ominous turn and returns her to the tenement apartment she shares with her Mother, a nagging shrew in Suzanne Bertish's pitiless portrayal. But when she struggles to articulate her discontentment with life and her yearning for love — the only moment in this severely stylized play when she seems remotely human — the old woman calls her "crazy."
Which is why the next turn of that revolving set finds the Woman married to a Husband she loathes, in Michael Cumpsty's perfect portrayal, the very model of the rich, powerful, self-satisfied male animal much admired in that era. That blinding naiveté also explains why another set revolve finds the Woman in bed with a good-looking Lover (the likable Morgan Spector) whose gentle lovemaking she confuses with true love.
But it isn't until the final scenes of the play, when the Woman is convicted of homicide and solemnly escorted to the electric chair for killing her husband, that the playwright (or, more accurately, the director) succeeds in conveying the horror of her situation. For unlike Mr. Zero in Elmer Rice's "The Adding Machin" or the little tramp in Charlie Chaplin's "Modern Times," this affectless Woman is too passive and dull-witted to become the Everywoman victim of the first industrial age of automation.
But since we're currently living through the second industrial age of automation, there's still time for other playwrights to come up with more authentic victims.

Proxima Midnight was a member of Thanos' Black Order, and one of the best combatants of the Mad Titan's army. When Thanos targeted Earth as the next planet he would raze, Proxima Midnight was dispatched to Atlantis to retrieve Namor's Infinity Gem.[1] Finding Atlantis in rubble and Namor devastated, Proxima deduced that Namor did not have the gem in his possession. She made clear her intentions to kill him and destroy Atlantis to Namor, and offered to spare him and his nation in exchange for the location of the gem. Namor pledged her, his, and Atlantis' allegiance and told her that she could find the gem in Wakanda.[2]
After her fellow Black Order member Black Dwarf failed to break Wakanda, Proxima, Corvus Glaive and Thanos himself departed for Wakanda, defeating it's defenders and breaching their city wall. They narrowed down the potential location of the gem to the Necropolis, the secret base of the Illuminati.[3] When Ebony Maw located Thanos' son, Thane, in Greenland, the Black Order departed to said country.[4] Meanwhile, Proxima sent Kaldera to take care of the new Nova under Thanos' orders.[5] When she failed her mission, Proxima sent her to the "Midnight Sphere," where she would be tortured as a punishment.[6]
When the Avengers arrived in Greenland in order to defeat Thanos, Proxima Midnight was trapped by Thane in an amber construct along with Thanos, which left them in a state of "living death." The two were then taken to the Necropolis.[7]
The Cabal
Proxima along Thanos and Corvus, who had regenerated in the amber construct, were freed from her prison by Namor, who had had a falling out with the Illuminati for destroying an Earth during an Incursion, for the purpose of saving universes from the Incursions as the Illuminati had resolved to rather die than kill the Earths, and joined his Cabal to destroy an Earth during other Incursion and spare both universes.[8]
Time Runs Out
Together with the Cabal, Proxima has participated in the destruction of scores of Earths. She is seen protecting the Necropolis and the Cabal's supply of world-destroying bombs together with Maximus, when T'Challa and Shuri break in and attempt to steal them. [9]

Russia plans to sell a unit of OAO MRSK Holding to help fund a revamp of the power industry as it merges the largest distributor with national network operator Federal Grid Co., Energy Minister Alexander Novak said.
The sale of the unit, which hasn't been determined yet, will be "a pilot project" for privatization and may happen as early as the first quarter of 2013, Novak told reporters in Yalta, Ukraine, late yesterday.
"A consultant will be hired to evaluate a MRSK unit that will be privatized," Novak said. "We propose keeping the money within this MRSK subsidiary to help fund modernization."
A government commission headed by Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich is due to present proposals for completing the merger of MRSK and Federal Grid by October, Novak said.

Protest organised outside US Embassy over violence in Gaza
8 Aug 2014 Flash News
ALMOST two dozen people gathered peacefully in front of the US Embassy in Bratislava on August 7 to protest the armed conflict in the Gaza Strip, the TASR newswire reported.
The protest was convened as part of a global call from Amnesty International (AI), which is organising similar demonstrations around the world.
The protesters urge the US government, one of the biggest arms exporters, to stop its sales and exports of arms to Israel and help impose a UN arms embargo on all sides embroiled in the military conflict in Gaza. The call was read in front of the US Embassy by AI's Slovak branch director, Jana Malovičová.
On Hviezdoslavovo Square, protesters lit candles, after which they symbolically threw flowers into the Danube River to commemorate the victims of the conflict. AI has already issued a statement in which it voices concern and outrage over the rapidly worsening situation in Gaza and Israel.
"Weapon transfers need to be suspended for as long as there is a risk that such devices or technologies might be used for perpetrating serious violations of international law and human rights," said Malovičová, as quoted by TASR.
Some 1,800 Palestinians, including 300 children, as well as 64 Israeli soldiers and three Israeli civilians have died in the Gaza Strip since the conflict erupted a month ago.

Senior Ukraine cop convicted of killing journalist
|FILE - This file photo taken in August 2000 shows journalist Heorhiy Gongadze, who wrote about top-level corruption during the term in office of former Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma, in Kiev, Ukraine, just a month before his abduction and brutal killing. On Tuesday a Ukrainian court has convicted a former police general of killing an investigative journalist and sentenced him to life in prison. (AP Photo/Sergei Chuzavkov, File)
KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — A former police commander in Ukraine was convicted of strangling an investigative journalist and sentenced to life in prison Tuesday, but the court has failed to determine who ordered the killing that has marred the ex-Soviet nation's image.
Heorhiy Gongadze, co-founder of a news website who exposed high-level corruption, was kidnapped in September 2000 and his decapitated body was found in a forest outside Kiev several months later.

Youth Health Mela offers them many useful tips
If a few ounces of water can tell you whether sugar has been adulterated with powdered chalk, hydrochloric acid solution can reveal whether the coffee powder has been spiked with tamarind particles while a little washing soda can do the trick when it comes to determining the authenticity of jaggery.
Youngsters who turned up at the launch of the five-day Youth Health Mela, which began at Valluvar Kottam on Wednesday, could walk away with a range of useful 'do-it-yourself' tips such as these from the stall set up by Guru Nanak College.
The exhibition, which is one of the key draws of the event, reflects the focus areas of substance abuse, diet and nutrition, exercise and fitness and personal and environmental hygiene.
Volunteers at the section of Sri Venkateshwara Dental College will vouch for curry leaves being the best anti-oxidant and the potency of curcumin, which can even block replication of the HIV and explain how junk diets can bring on dental caries and diabetes but also affect general health.
Would you like to be 'cool' or a 'fool', a banner asks of visitors at the adjoining stall where volunteers set about demonstrating the corroding effect of aerated beverages on the human tooth.
Highlighting the loopholes in the implementation of the Control of Tobacco Products Act (COTPA) was the mission of students from Tamil Nadu Dr. Ambedkar Law University, who exposed the ambiguity in the pictorial signs on a few paan samples while volunteers from Government Yoga Naturopathy College upheld the Hippocrates axiom that food should be thy medicine and not the other way around; the diet, they said, was a powerful weapon in preventing and controlling disorders such as anaemia, diabetes and obesity.
Quite a few stalls catered to the fitness and ergonomics freaks while over at the Greenpeace cubicle, a banner apparently addressing the rebel within urged the youth to "Be a Superhero; Say "No" to GM Foods and BRAI Bill."
Earlier, inaugurating the youth health mela, V. Shanta, Chairperson, Adyar Cancer Institute, the lead organiser of the event, said the mela was, far from being a jamboree, a serious initiative to wean away youth from harmful habits. Urging the youth to be more aware of the two-pronged threat from Non Communicable Diseases and the resurgence of communicable diseases, Dr. Shanta said many of these diseases were preventable.
Dr. Shanta, who identified tobacco as the chief villain behind most maladies, said youth support was vital in rooting out tobacco and other forms of substance abuse from society.
In his presidential address, Justice K.N. Basha, Madras High Court Judge, said the youth had a key role to play in bringing about social transformation. Calling for change to begin at home, he urged the youth to become change agents in their households and community.
Santha Sheela Nair, Vice Chairperson, State Planning Commission, said the 12 Plan laid emphasis on putting in place systems to realise the State's goal of health for all.

Louis Icart was affectionately called the Parisian Dreamer. He was a wildly popular artist in his native France, and in America, where his work made its debut in 1922. Prolific from 1911 until his death in 1950, Icart's work glorifies women and love and the spirit of that magic time between the two world wars. Beginning in 1926, along with his larger etchings and a limited number of watercolors and oils, he began to publish smaller etchings in several collectible and often erotic books, called the livre d'artiste series, intended only for the French market and limited to between 150 and 500 copies. Although wealthy French art patrons originally purchased these books, over time, many were dismantled and the etchings framed and sold commercially, finding their way to the US market, too. This one is a first-state sepia etching for La Nuit et le Moment, by Claude Prosper de Crebillon, published in 1946. It is typical of his erotic but tasteful work for which he was famous. The image measures 5" by 7" and the professional framing measures 16" by 19". This comes with a Certificate of Authenticity from the Canadian Gallery from which we acquired it.

Good morning Chairman Fleming and Members of the Subcommittee. I am Cynthia Dohner, Southeast Regional Director for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) within the Department of the Interior. As Regional Director I oversee and coordinate management and policy for the Service's programs across the Southeast, which includes 10 states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Based on the GAO report, the Service understands that once Declarations of Taking were filed, compensation was set aside in advance of a final judgment; and compensation was ultimately provided to landowners in 1948 when a U.S. District Court approved the judgments for condemnation. In addition, the Service is not aware of any assurances then or since that these lands could be restored to the former owners at the conclusion of World War II. Federal court rulings over time have upheld the action of the Department of Defense and the compensation paid for those lands. The GAO's report concluded the same in its report based on available records.
It is important to understand that this issue has been reviewed over the years by both the U.S. District Court in Georgia and the U.S. Court of Appeals Eleventh Circuit, which both found that just compensation had been awarded in the condemnation of this property. Also, the GAO confirmed in its report that the actions of the federal government had been legal and appropriate under rules established for condemnation of property, fair compensation, and subsequent land conveyances. Moving forward, the Service is open to further discussions if any new information becomes available.

Castle Round Table: "Rise"by TV Fanatic Staff at . Comments
Beckett remembers... everything.
This revelation, along with a brand new captain, has given Chandel Charles, Carissa Pavlica, Courtney Morrison and Christine Orlando plenty to discuss in relation to Monday's Castle season premiere. So let's get right to it, shall we? As always, reader feedback is encouraged on the following Round Table topics...
What was your favorite scene?
Chandel: Castle coming to see Beckett in the hospital. It was a bit bittersweet given that she claimed she didn't remember the "I love you," but the way he looked at her when he saw her, the flower shop joke, it all hinted at the innocent playfulness that's always made Castle and Beckett's relationship so special. Which means that a corresponding favorite moment for me was Kate's appearance and the book signing and the resulting conversation on the swings.
Carissa: When Castle used his pull in high places to get back into the precinct. That they even pretended to kick him out was ridiculous.
Courtney: Castle's book signing! He seemed so lost signing away his books until Kate showed up. "You can make it out to Kate." Me = heart melting.
Christine: How can I choose just one? The opening sequence was so dramatic and Lanie was wonderful. Watching Castle's face fall when Beckett said she didn't remember was heartbreaking. I also loved that Castle was angry with her for her three month absence and told her so instead of sulking in silence.
What surprised you the most and was there anything they didn't cover that you wished they had?
Chandel: How doggedly Beckett was ready to continue pursuing her mother's murder. Now it's not just about her mother, it's about Kate getting shot and has become even more personal. I also think it's really interesting that she chose to continue seeing a therapist. It certainly adds a new element in that she is almost asking for help to work through everything rather than being stubborn enough to think that her emotions can be worked through on her own. We've seen how well that's gone.
Carissa: I wish I could say something surprised me, but it didn't. As Castle goes, it was pretty predictable. They rarely come up with something like they did in the finale.
Courtney: I have to agree, not much surprised me at all. If I had to pick, it would be a tie between Josh having more than one line or that Kate pretended to forget the shooting in the first place.
Christine: What surprised me was that for as many secrets as they kept, they were still more open than they normally would be, like Castle calling Kate on her emotional free fall and her admitting that her walls need to come down. But I do wish we had seen Becket break up with Josh. That would have been satisfying.
What did you think of the new Captain and the new dynamic at the 12th precinct?
Chandel: I think there are going to be a lot of secrets permeating the daily goings on of the precinct. It's going to cause a lot of tension as Castle, Beckett, Esposito and Ryan continue to walk on egg shells. It certainly adds a new element to the show. I also think it's interesting that she prefers to be referred to as "sir." How disconcerting.
Carissa: Hate the new Captain. I'm so sick of new leaders always coming into situations that are prickly and nasty. Why didn't they choose a different way to go and bring in someone that would actually fit in and be liked?
Courtney: Like everyone, my first instinct is to hate her. I mean, let's be serious, there is no replacing Roy Montgomery. But on the other hand, I'm a little intrigued. This gives a challenge to the detectives and although she seems on the outside now, I'm pretty sure she will end up being a friend by seasons end.
Christine: I know I'm in the minority but I liked her. She's going to shake things up and I think everyone having a common foe will only strengthen the bond between Castle, Beckett, Ryan, and Esposito.
Any guesses on whose secret comes out first (Castle's information about the conspiracy, Beckett remembers his "I love you) and what the consequences will be?
Chandel: I would prefer not to speculate given that both of them have begun lying to one another straight out of the gate. I think they are both going to come to blows about something, maybe even another secret entirely, that's going to cause another agonizing tension between them. I would just like things to get back to a new normal for a while before we find the two in heartbreaking conflict again.
Carissa: I think Beckett will acknowledge his love, and then he'll reveal what he knows about the conspiracy and any love will be lost because he, again, held information from her.
Courtney: I'm hoping that Beckett's secret comes first just because I want it addressed now!
Christine: I'm hoping Kate's comes out first because she's willing to move forward. Castle will be more willing to forgive her for the lie if she's willing to explore their relationship. She's going to feel completely betrayed when she finds out what he's hiding from her. I'm secretly hoping that Alexis will be so fed up with seeing her Dad heartbroken that she'll step up at that point and tell Kate what all of this has done to her Dad. That could be a stellar moment between Kate and Alexis.
Do you think Castle and Beckett should finally start a romantic relationship this season?
Chandel: No, I think Kate needs to get her bearings back first. Castle and Beckett were in a really tense place during the premiere, so I think they need some time to get back to the way they were--if they ever will. With an "I love you" hanging out there, their relationship has already jumped to another level from where it was in season three. I think they need to find one another in this new space, become completely comfortable with the new level of emotional intimacy, and then pursue the relationship from there. If that means they need till season six, I'll still be on board with that, as long as they achieve it organically.
Carissa: Yes. They remain quirky and at odds enough that their relationship would remain contradictory and fresh. That's all they need. Not to let it get all lovey dovey and romantic and mushy. Be true to the characters and it would work out beautifully.
Courtney: I'm not sure that they should get in a full fledged relationship this season, but there must be advances. I could settle for a crazy one night stand turning into some sneaking around together or I would even be ok with a real first date.
Christine: Please yes. Maybe I shouldn't compare because I feel Castle is the better show but I feel as though Bones jumped the shark after season 4. That stalling the relationship between the main characters for too long simply leads to boring stories. My fear is that if they delay their romance much longer it will begin to erode their chemistry. I'd love to see them start dating mid-season. Maybe even hide it from the precinct for a while as they figure things out. It could be romantic and fun and still have moments of drama and best of all, it would be something we haven't seen before.
I went yesterday and bought the 3rd Season CD's. I have all 3 now.
I'm a little worried about Beckett also. She is a beautiful person and I don't want anything to happen to her.
I don't like the new captain - she needs to be in boot camp!
I love all the cast of Castle.
I would have like to see Beckett and Josh break up - I didn't like him, he was to assuming and cocky.
I want Beckett and Castle become a part of his family (his daughter and mother).
I like Beckett's dad - he protrays a loving caring father.
Cannot wait to see who Castle's dad is!
I've been a fan of CASTLE since the very 1st episode, and maybe that's why I'm noticing a very very VERY shocking thing happening to the actress, Kate Beckett, on the show this season!!!!! Has anyone else noticed she's looking VERY anorexic? The 1st season she looked healthy, last season she looked a bit thinner, and THIS season .......wow! Her cheeks are sunken in, her arms were bones in her turtleneck top she had on in the first scene, and when she turned sideways for another scene, she was ALL bones!!! I am not sure I can watch the show anymore. :( It seriously made me ill, and my hubby even noticed how fragile she is looking physically! I will be writing the show & mentioning it to them. It's time these networks clamp down as hard they do on skinny actresses as they do on overweight ones. She is seriously in a bodily decline!
My favorite scene has to be a tie between the swings and close the end when Castle told Beckett "will figure it out, that wall inside won't be in there forever" I can't say much of anything surprised me. I wish that there had Castle had hugged Beckett when she broke down I don't really like the new captain. She comes off as kind of a b* sometimes and I hate the way she wants everyone to call her sir. I don't know who's secret will come out first im hoping Castle's secret does since his is possibly the bigger secret, that being said I hate that they are lying to one another they are supposed to be getting closer and big lies like this will only tear them apart I'm afraid. I don't think Castle and Beckett should date at least not anytime soon. They both have major issues (AND LIES) that they need to work through.
-I thought Knockout was the best episode of the series but this may have topped it. The opening scene was so intense and they made Kate look like she was on death's door. Loved it. -I did have a question...why wasn't Josh at the funeral? He couldn't manage one morning off of work to be there for his girlfriend? I did wish for a hug during the apartment scene but I think they were both so fragile that if they had the walls would have come tumbling down and neither are ready just yet. -I've always liked the actress (24,DS9) so I didn't hate Gates and an annoyed Beckett, irritated Castle, flustered Ryan, and determined Esposito are so much fun to watch. -Let Kate come clean first because she wants to try dating. I love it when these two are honest with one another. -YES, YES, YES! Can the writer's be bribed? I too watched Bones and got really bored after season 4. They kind of blew it with that ship in my opinion. Castle IS the better show so I have a lot of hope they'll get it right.
I thought the show was a dud. Very disappointed in it. Seemed like everything was off the mark. Script was all over the place. Make-up made everyone look OLD. On top of everything, they introduce an unpleasant new character. They almost lost me and I love this show! Please go back to the old banter and flirting, but figure out how to keep Castle & Kate in a dynamic relationship. This season premier felt like a death knell. Finish with Kate's Mom's story line & find something new & interesting.
My favourite scenes were the ones with Alexis. Her standing up for as well as standing up to her father shows real growth in that character. Always love their father/daughter moments and hopefully there will be plenty more of those (be it more lighthearted funny moments)in this season. Only the first episode, but I am hooked all over again...
-The whole episode was so good how can you choose just one? But the book signing and the swingset scene may have surpassed the rest. I can't get enough of Kate and Rick having honest conversations where they actually say what they're thinking and feeling. -I was surprised Castle didn't hug her when she started to fall apart in her apartment. Damn. I really wanted to see a hug. -It's not so much that I like Gates but I like her effect on the team. Ryan being so paranoid is cute and it even looks like Esposito has stepped up his game. Plus Kate can no longer pretend she doesn't want Castle there because Gates would use it as an excuse to get rid of him. -I'd love to see Kate get to the point where she's honest with him. I'd be glued to the screen. -YES! The delays can't last forever. They are closer than they've ever been but that only makes me want to see the real thing all the more.
1. Hard to choose a favorite scene when the entire episode was made of awesome. I'll say Castle and Josh nearly coming to blows and Alexis nearly jumping in on it.That girl loves her father.
2.Can't say anything surprised me but I'll say Castle pointblanking Kate.He's a sweet guy, but I also love when he's ballsy enough to be blunt.He wont take crap,even from her.
3.I'm dying to see both secrets unravel sooner then later.
4.I kinda, sorta like what Gates offers. necessary tension and structure.
5. Caskett is progressing enough where I dont feel disappointed that they arent technically together. You see the growth..they see it too, but Im not entirely bored with the inbetween stage...yet.

What is an example of a simile in A Christmas Carol?
1 Answer | Add Yours
A simile is a comparison of two UNLIKE objects using the words "like" or "as". An example would be...... The girl is as pretty as a picture. the girl is being compared to a picture. Two unlike objects --- girl and picture are being compared.
In A Christmas Carol, the very first paragraph gives you a famous simile. It says
"Old Marley was as dead as a door-nail" (pg 5)
The narrator goes on to explain that he doesn't really know how dead a door-nail can be -- that a coffin nail might be more appropriate, but he uses for turn of phrase "dead as a door-nail"
Another simile is when Scrooge enters his home. He has seen Marley's face and is denying that fact. He slams the door shut.
"The sound resounded through the house like thunder" (pg 15)
Here you are comparing the sound of a slamming door to thunder.
When he sees Marley's ghost, he notices the chain coiled around him
"It was long and wound around him like a tail..." (pg 17)
This compares the chain to a tail.

Product Review - Butler Accent Table Olive Ash Burl - 1483101
I saw this piece in a furniture showroom and knew it would work well with a new leather chair I had just purchased. I decided to look online and found the table on this website at a very good price. [...] The wood appears to be pressed with thin veneer. I bumped the corner of the bottom shelf while assemling and it chipped. Luckily, it was in a place where the leg and shelf met, so it isn't noticeable. It feels sturdy as I tightened the screws fairly well. In the showroom, I don't think they were as thorough, and that was my only concern when ordering... wondering if it would be sturdy with home assembly. Overall, it is a nice little table with a nice marquetry on top, looking more expensive than it was. - Ray

'RealMoney' Radio Recap: Shrug Off the Selloff
"Every time we have a good market, we then get selloffs," Jim Cramer told his
But selloffs occur routinely, Cramer said, and the way to beat the blues is to be sure that you're selling into strength, particularly when the market is overbought and there is too much optimism.
He told listeners to take a little off the table when the market soars and do some buying when it's down in order to get the best prices.
"Would you buy something expensive in a store and return it when it's on sale?" he asked listeners. It's the same common sense with the stock market, he said.This is not market-timing, but it's about going against the grain and letting go of even some of your favorite stocks so you have the cash you need to buy them back when they do go down, said Cramer. He used Google (GOOG) as an example of this strategy, saying that he still believes the stock has a lot of upside. But, he warned, that's an ultimate destination -- not a near-term prediction. He said for investors who unloaded Google when it was flying high 70 points ago, as he recommended, they should start thinking about the fact that they can buy a little bit back now that it's down 40 points. "You need to be in a position where you think selloffs are not dramatic, dangerous or corrupt ... because you have cash on the sidelines," he said.
Lightning RoundCramer was bullish on: Motorola (MOT), Yahoo! (YHOO), Goldcorp (GG), Broadcom (BRCM), Marvell (MRVL), Google, Ameritrade (AMTD), Mirant (MIR) and Dynegy (DYN). Cramer was bearish on: Electroglas (EGLS), TII Network Technologies (TIII) and Charles River Laboratories (CRL).

There are many forms of balsamic vinegar on supermarket shelves these days. The most industrial forms can be made anywhere with a variety of ingredients that may or may not contain concentrated grape must, wine vinegar, sugar and caramel coloring. For this reason, it is often difficult to grasp the differences between a $10 bottle of balsamic vinegar and a $40 bottle of balsamic or even a $150 bottle. (more…)

Crème de Cassis de Dijon: The Secret to "Kir"
Posted in Beverages, Drinks & Cocktails, Education, France, Pairings, Producer Profile, Recipes, Wine, tagged Briottet, cocktails, crème de cassis, El Diablo, Felix Kir, Green Street Grill, Kir, Kir Pétillant, Kir Royale, Pompier, vermouth on June 7, 2012 | 5 Comments »
This week we're highlighting one of our favorite French liqueurs, the inky black currant flavored Crème de Cassis de Dijon. These sweet little bottles of crème de cassis are made in Burgundy by Briottet, a company run by the Briottet family in the town of Dijon since 1836.
Briottet makes their crème de cassis with only "Noir de Bourgogne" black currants. The word "crème" signifies that the liqueur is made from macerated, real fruit rather than flavorings and, the addition of the name Dijon means that the currants ("cassis") used were grown only in the commune of Dijon. These currants are picked quickly at their peak ripeness and are immediately immersed in alcohol where they macerate for 3 months. Sugar is then added to balance out the tart flavor of the currants – it also makes the liqueur syrupy. Upon completion, crème de cassis has about the same alcohol content as port. (more…)
Roasting with Barrington Coffee
Posted in Beverages, Coffee, Education, Producer Profile, Travelogues, United States, tagged Barrington, Berkshires, Brian Heck, coffee, coffee bean, food, Kenya AA, Lee, MA, Roasting on May 22, 2012 | 3 Comments »
I recently visited Barrington Coffee at their roastery in Lee, MA, in the heart of the Berkshires. Roastmaster Brian Heck, along with fellow coffee alchemist Paul, guided me through Barrington's process of coaxing the delicate aromas and fine flavors out of their unroasted, green coffee beans. It takes an artisan's practiced touch, a connoisseur's critical taste, and a farmer's dedication to his crop to create the consistently outstanding coffees Barrington is known for.
Brian began by guiding me through the roasting process, from bag to finished bean. Barrington Coffee has three roasters, the largest handling up to 60 lbs. and the smallest able to roast as little as 1/4 lb. at a time. When I visited, Brian and Paul were manning all three roasters, producing select origin as well as blended coffees. (more…)
Decidedly American Hams: Mangalitsa and Red Wattle
Posted in Education, Meats & Charcuterie, Producer Profile, United States, tagged bacon, curing, Edwards of Virginia, food, ham, Magalitsa bacon, Mangalitsa, Red Wattle on March 8, 2012 | 4 Comments »
We keep an impressive pile of cured pork legs in the shop. The Italian prosciutto and Spanish jamón are justifiably well-known. Also nestled in there, however, are two domestic treats that I advise you not to miss: Mangalitsa and Red Wattle hams. The latter is particularly American, hailing from a centuries-old tradition of pork curing in Surry County, Virginia.
We source our Mangalitsa and Red Wattle ham from Edwards of Virginia who, in turn, sources pastured, humanely-raised Mangalitsa and Red Wattle pigs from small farms in North Carolina and Iowa, respectively. These heritage breeds are prized for their well-marbled, toothsome, flavorful meat, not to mention a wickedly decadent abundance of fat. Mangalitsas resemble a cross between a sheep and a pig – they're sometimes called "wooly pigs," for good reason – and they're related to the wild boar. Like their boar brethren, Mangalitsa meat is lightly gamey, with a sweet, nutty, intense flavor. (more…)

For a lover of words, leafing through an heirloom seed catalog is almost as delicious as eating the fruits and vegetables pictured on each page. The poetry of heirloom seeds is unabashed, starting with names such as Amish Deer Tongue lettuce, Moon and Stars watermelon, Rouge Vif d'Etamps squash, Yellow Dent corn and a personal favorite, Radiator Charlie's Mortgage Lifter tomatoes. Nomenclature aside, heirloom crops possess a long, distinguished past. (more…)

From the banks of the Tigris and the Euphrates, to the coast of the Mediterranean and down into Egypt stretches the Fertile Crescent. Aptly known as the "cradle of civilization," this land bore witness to many of the earliest human settlements. Historians have documented the development of basic architecture, tools, weapons, agriculture and a reliance upon the foods grown in cultivated fields to as far back as 9,000 B.C.E. Cereals, grasses and grains were among the first crops to be harvested and prepared, usually by grinding them into meal and cooking them over a fire. Grains were also ground into flour for bread, or fermented and brewed into beer. (more…)
