"Kurseong - The Land of the White Orchids" Karsiyang by anilpradhanshillong
Karsiyang Travel Guide: 4 reviews and 20 photos
Kurseong, local name, 'Kharsang', in Lepcha language meaning 'Land of the White Orchids', is a small undulating place, barely 5 sq. kms in area with a population of less than 50,000, an altitude of 4,860 feet (1,458 m) and a rainfall (160" annual) that is almost equal to that of the wettest place on earth, Cherrapunjee, in distant Meghalaya, India. However, it is these very qualities that endear this place to so many tourists, as it did to the British since 1835 when the territory was ceded to them by the Chogyal (monarch) of Sikkim. And as the British are wont to do, they built a fine Church, top-notch schools – one for the boys and another for the girls, luxurious mansions and bungalows, gardens and parks and of course, keeping the monetary angle firmly in place, a plethora of tea gardens. To cart this precious commodity to Siliguri and thence to London, a convenient metre gauge train was built that runs through the town. This is the famous Darjeeling Himalayan Train (toy train from Darjeeling to Siliguri).
The small area is easy to handle, the altitude is ideal for a sanatorium as well as for rest and relaxation from the vexatious heat of the plains and from Kolkata, the undulating hills and the abundant rainfall just the perfect mix for luxuriant tea plantations. Quite a few famous personalities have visited this place and have marvelled at its serenity, tranquillity, lushness and overall beauty. Mark Twain is supposed to have visited Kurseong in 1885, followed by Sister Nivedita. Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose was interned in a house at Gidda Pahar in 1936 while Rabindranath Tagore was supposedly inspired to pen a few poems at Kurseong.
Some of the finest teas in the world are produced by Ambootia, Castleton and Makaibari Tea Estates here on the slopes of Kurseong. If you plan ahead, you could be treated to a hands-on experience of how tea leaves are grown, plucked, processed and prepared at a nearby tea factory. If you evince enough interest, you may perhaps be invited to the arcane world of tea tasting. If you can tell the subtle differences between the myriad varieties of tea cups lined up before you, you may just be presented with a few packets of the most exotic teas.
Kurseong is on the way to Darjeeling from Siliguri (30 kms short of Darjeeling and 51 kms from Siliguri) and a stop here is mandatory for a bit of leg-stretching and a warm cup of delicious tea. If you wish to enjoy the verdant beauty of the place while returning from Darjeeling, take the picturesque Rongtong, Ghayabari, Mahanadi and Gidda Pahar route; if in a hurry, you are welcome to the steep Pankhabari road.

According to a press release, he was hospitalized April 18 with fever and irregular blood pressure. Born September 12, 1931, Jones is regarded among the most important and influential singers in American popular music history. He was the singer of enduring country music hits including "She Thinks I Still Care," "The Grand Tour," "Walk Through This World With Me," "Tender Years" and "He Stopped Loving Her Today," the latter of which is often at the top of industry lists of the greatest country music singles of all time. "A singer who can soar from a deep growl to dizzying heights, he is the undisputed successor of earlier natural geniuses such as Hank Williams and Lefty Frizzell," wrote Bob Allen in the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum's "Encyclopedia of Country Music." http://www.wbtw.com/story/22087254/country-singing-legend-george-jones-dies-at-81 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The "eyes" have it!
Because dogs and cats rely on their keen senses to explore and enjoy their world, it's important that they have optimal functioning of all their senses, including vision. A number of diseases can affect your pet's eyes, including ulcers, glaucoma and cataracts, one of the most common eye diseases in dogs. Because many of our pets are curious creatures, they may poke their heads where they shouldn't, which sometimes results in an eye injury too.
In cases of disease, trauma or other conditions of the eye, your family veterinarian may determine that the best course of action is to have your pet seen by a veterinary ophthalmologist. Ophthalmologists are trained in the anatomy and function of the eye and offer both surgical and medical (non-surgical) interventions to treat diseases of the eye. With expert training focused solely on the eye, an ophthalmologist is in the best position to help restore or improve your pet's vision and ensure your pet is kept comfortable.
Conditions our ophthalmology team often treats and services we often provide include:
- Breed certification examinations: Canine Eye Registry Foundation (CERF) and Orthopedic Foundation for Animals Eye Certification Registry (OFA ECR)
- Cataracts
- Cherry eye
- Corneal injuries and diseases
- Dry eye
- Eyelid and eyelash abnormalities
- Glaucoma
- Inflammation, including uveitis and conjunctivitis
- Retinal disease
For more information about board-certified ophthalmology specialists, please visit the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmology at acvo.org.

Credit Card Freebies
�100 vouchers, free Europe flights etc
Get Martin's Free Weekly Email!
For all the latest deals, guides and loopholes - join the 10m who get it. Don't miss out
Updated Weekly
Perform a legal smash and grab raid on a credit card company right now. There are tonnes of freebies available: flights around Europe, �100 gift vouchers and more.
Credit cards offer free gifts to new cardholders. Sign up for the card, spend what's needed, pay off in full, grab the freebie, and forget it!
Best buys: Top freebies
Who's this guide for? Anyone who doesn't have existing credit card debt, who knows how to manage credit cards well and won't be stung by charges.
Not what you want? Other related best-buy guides...
Cashback cards | Credit card rewards | 0% spending cards | Debt help
The six golden rules
Credit cards are so lucrative, companies are often willing to pay �40-�80 to acquire a new customer: small potatoes compared to their potential profit from debts. This money materialises in a variety of ways: heavy advertising spends, introductory 0% offers, and free gifts or inducements to sign up for the card.
Before you get a freebie credit card, there are six things you need to know. Get this wrong and it can cost you large, so please read the following (even if you only have time to read and remember the headlines it should help protect your pocket).
Check it's worth grabbing the freebie
These cards are only for you if you're not in debt, will repay in full every month and are super savvy with your credit.
If you're happy with your current stock of cards, or never borrow, then there's no harm going for additional freebies. If you need new credit, then choosing a freebie card that also offers decent borrowing terms is sensible and easily doable. There's a simple rule of thumb to follow here:
If I'm only going to be allowed a limited number of credit cards, is what I'm applying for important enough to use a card up for?
If you don't want a freebie and instead want to be rewarded every time you spend, some cards pay up to 5% cashback on all spending on them. Pay them off in full each month so you're not charged interest, and you can make serious money. See the Cashback Cards guide.
Spend as little as possible to trigger the freebie
While cards offer freebies to newcomers, the gifts aren't actually doled out on application or acceptance. To trigger the freebie, most providers require you to spend on the card - for these just do enough of your normal spending on the card to meet the minimum requirement.
Some cards don't set a minimum spend trigger. With these you can get the freebie provided ANY amount is spent on the card, though others specify a trigger amount. The challenge is to spend as little as possible.
Happily, most supermarkets allow credit card payments for any amount. So buy chewing gum, chocolate or (for health-conscious MoneySavers) an apple, and hey presto - the freebie's yours.
Always repay the card in full otherwise the costs rocket
With the vast majority of credit cards (including all these below), if you pay off the balance in full at the end of the month, you don't pay any interest. So for the freebie to be totally free, make sure you do this.
For this reason, even if the card has a higher minimum spend freebie trigger, the same principle applies. Just do some of your normal spending on the card, ensure you repay in full at the end of the month, and you won't pay interest.
Space out credit card applications so you don't harm your credit score
Each time you apply for a card, a search is added to your credit file. Lots of these in a short space of time will shoot down your credit score; the overall number of applications is less important than the frequency.
Therefore if you're grabbing multiple freebies, after the first couple of applications, spread others out every few months. Other factors that count include total debts, repayment history and income.
Every time you apply for credit it has an impact on your credit score � and thus your ability to get further new credit (see the boost your Credit Score guide). Yet if you've a good credit history there's no need to be unduly worried.
Here's what Martin says about the impact of freebie cards on your credit:
I wouldn't worry unduly about the credit score impact, providing you pick applications wisely and never bag a freebie just before needing credit elsewhere. This includes applying for a new mobile phone contract and car or home insurance, as well as loans, mortgages or credit cards for borrowing.
There are no hard and fast rules, but many have successfully applied for 10 cards without a problem.
Cancel the card if you don't want to continue using it after you've got the freebie so it doesn't affect your credit score
Once you've decided you're not going to use a card any more, cancel it. That means actually calling the card company and requesting the account is closed, not just cutting the card up. This is because having high available credit can affect your credit score, not just the amount of outstanding debt.
To protect your credit file, check you'll get the card before you apply
The only way to know if you'll be accepted is to apply, but each application marks your credit file. Some cards let you do a pre-application check to work out whether to go ahead, or you can use our credit card eligibility calculator, which shows your odds of getting almost every top card so you can hone your choice to minimise applications.
Quick questions
How does the eligibility calculator work?
It uses a 'soft search', which is one you will see on your credit file but lenders don't, to give us an indication of your credit score. We then match this against lenders' criteria for acceptance so we can show you the odds of getting each card.
Once you have this knowledge, it will allow you to make a smarter application, going for cards you have a higher chance of being accepted for. Therefore, you're less likely to be rejected and less likely to need to apply elsewhere, which would add another mark on your credit file.
Will credit scoring affect the deal I get and my credit limit?
When you apply for any credit card, it checks you to match you up against its wish list for what is a profitable customer (for full info on this and how to boost your chances, see our credit scoring guide). Yet this doesn't just dictate what products you'll be accepted for, but also how good the ones you actually get are.
Unfortunately there's no system that can predict card firms' attitudes to you for these variables. But, as a rough rule of thumb, the higher the chance the eligibility calculator gives you, the closer to the rep APR and higher credit limit you should get.
Best Buys Travel freebies
Our top picks for cards which give you travel related freebies, including flights and air miles:
Big spending trigger, but two free short-haul BA flights
Amex Gold*
Get the Amex Preferred Rewards Gold* card and you'll get 20,000 free Rewards points when you spend �2,000 in the first 3 months. That's enough for two short-haul flights with BA. But watch out as after the first year there's a huge annual fee, so make sure you cancel the card to avoid paying this.
- You must spend �2,000 in the first three months to get the 20,000 reward points.
- The first year is free, but in the second year there's a �140 annual fee.
- This is a charge card not a credit card, so you must repay it in full at the end of each month. If you don't you'll be charged �12.
- Representative variable rate: N/A (Charge card - fail to fully repay and get �12 fee)
- Min spend trigger: �2,000 in first 3 months
- Taxes included? No
- Freebie: 20,000 Rewards points
- Annual fee: �140 (waived in year 1)
- Min household income: �20,000
What can 20,000 pts get you? A short BA return flight, including trips to Paris, Milan and Berlin (you pay c.�35/person taxes) or one way for a longer journey, including Istanbul. Alternatively, �100 in gift cards for M&S, Homebase, House of Fraser, PC World and more (though vouchers sometimes sell out, so check what's available).
Alternatively, just add the points to your current stash. They can be converted into 13 frequent flyer programmes (including British Airways and Virgin Atlantic), or three hotel reward schemes, among other things.
Amex says you'll get the points as soon as you hit the spending trigger, but they can take up to a month to arrive in your Card member account.
How do CHARGE cards work? Charge cards allow you to spend on them, but require you to pay off in full at the end of EVERY month - set up a direct debit to ensure you don't forget. There's no interest charged, but there's a �12 fee - and a default on your credit file - if you fail to fully repay within 10 days of getting your statement.
You will need an income of �20,000+ to be considered for this product, and you will be credit scored. The charge card is accepted in all retailers that take Amex (see our Who takes Amex? forum discussion). One supplementary card (for a partner/friend) is provided free, though any more will cost �45.
Smaller spending trigger, for free European flight
Grab Flybe's credit card and once you've spent �250 in the first six months, you'll be sent a voucher for a return flight, which can be used on most of its UK & European routes. But we've heard it's hard finding flights to book with these vouchers due to poor availability so you'll need to be quite flexible with your destination and dates.
- You can't use the free flight to fly to Spain or Portugal.
- Taxes aren't included, so you'll have to pay these.
- Make sure you repay IN FULL every month or you'll pay 18.9% rep APR interest.
- Representative variable rate: 18.9% APR Official APR Example
- Min spend trigger: �250
- Taxes included? No
- Freebie: One free European flight voucher.
- Min household income: N/A
Best Buys Vouchers, discounts and reward points
Some of the top freebies are on reward cards, which give you points everytime you spend that you can then convert into vouchers:
Bonus 20,000 Nectar points, worth �100
American Express*
Spend �2,000 on the Amex Nectar* card in the first three months, and you'll get 20,000 points. These are worth around �100 and can be spent on anything in the Nectar catalogue.
- There's an annual �25 fee, but it's waived in the first year. Diarise when the year is up and cancel the card.
- This is an American Express card, and is not as widely accepted compared to Mastercard or Visa - so bear this in mind when doing your spending.
- You'll earn 2 Nectar points per �1 spent on the card, and 4 points per �1 spent in Nectar partner shops (Sainsbury's BP & more).
- Some retailers give 1p per point, making this freebie worth �200 at theme parks Legoland, Alton Towers, Thorpe Park etc. (read Loyalty Schemes for ways to max these).
- Make sure you repay IN FULL every month or you'll pay 19.9% interest.
- Representative variable rate: 19.9% (25% APR incl fee) Official APR Example
- Min. Spend Trigger: �2,000 in 3 months
- Freebie: 20,000 Nectar points
- Annual fee: �25 (waived in year 1)
- Min household income: �30,000

Credit Card Freebies Q&A
Can you grab cashback on top?
It's sometimes possible to grab extra cashback on top when you apply for credit cards. Whether you'll be able to combine this with other freebies varies per card.
To get it, you must sign up via a specialist cashback website. These use affiliate links to generate revenue, and if they get paid when you get it, they give some or all of it to you.
Yet always first check that it's an identical product, then clear any cookies if you've already clicked through. Remember as the cashback isn't coming from the product provider, it's never 100% guaranteed.
Sometimes special promotions and cashback can't be combined. You're playing the system to an extent, and there can be problems.
For more information, pros and cons, and to find which cashback providers pay most for any product, see the Top Cashback Sites guide.
If I open a card just for the freebie and cancel it will it harm my credit score?
There's no definitive answer to this one, as lenders look for different things when deciding whether to give you credit. In general, it might be better to cancel it if you're not using it, as having open cards that aren't being used can be considered a fraud risk. Make sure you pay off, or transfer, the balance of the card before closing. For more information on cancelling your cards read the Old Credit Cards guide.
What if I don't get the freebie after I got the card?
First of all make sure you've met any requirements for getting the freebie - most cards have a minimum spend trigger before they'll give you the gift. If you think you have met these requirements then contact the credit card company to see why you haven't received anything.
What if I want to transfer a balance onto the card?
Cards which offer a sign-up freebie do not tend to give cheap balance transfer deals - by far the best thing to do is use separate cards for spending and balance transfers. See the Balance Transfers guide for an overview of the best cards out there currently.
Should I get PPI with the card?
Payment protection insurance is commonly sold with credit cards - the idea is it'll make some payments for you, usually for a year, if you are unable to (eg, if you lose your job).
But in many cases it has been mis-sold. Borrowers didn't realise they were signing up for it, or it was totally unsuitable for them, and some big lenders have been fined.
The protection isn't always bad, though policies sold with cards are often overpriced (you pay a monthly amount depending on the size of your balance). If you want it, compare the lender's cover with standalone providers such as Paymentcare or Best Insurance.
Always be vigilant to check you aren't getting more than you bargained for when you fill in the application, then check your statement each month to check you aren't inadvertently paying for extras if you didn't ask for them.
Representative APR
Where credit cards or loans use a representative APR, this means that 51% of successful applicants will be given the stated interest rate.
Credit Cards
With credit cards, the rate for purchases (as opposed to balance transfers or cash withdrawals) is used as the main rate to advertise the card.
So if that is described as 19.9% representative APR, then 51% of people accepted will get 19.9% APR, but 49% will get a different rate (likely to be higher).
Personal Loans
Loans are slightly simpler as they only have one rate. So if a loan is advertised as being 7.5% representative APR, this means 51% of accepted applicants will get 7.5%, and 49% will get a different rate (likely to be higher).
Of course, some people will be rejected outright for the card or loan too.

While some people may decry current cinema for the domination of powerful male figures, women have a long history of commanding the screen with a ferocity to match today's superheroes. From July 18 to August 7, New York's Film Forum will present "Femmes Noirs," a retrospective of film noir's most dangerous leading ladies.
Throughout their time in Hollywood, femme fatales have epitomized both liberated onscreen women and misogynistic stereotypes. But while it's easy to discount the femme fatale as a defamatory archetype for women, these characters helped make female sexuality more commonplace in movie theaters, challenging the traditional gender roles of the 30s, 40s, and 50s. More than that, they gave actresses active parts in the movies and empowered them to take matters into their own hands.
It's a trope that lives on today as the "femme fatale" — French for "fatal woman," the archetype stretches back to ancient literature — appears in all kinds of movies: from Oscar-nominated thrillers like "Black Swan" and cult-classics such as "Brick" and "Fight Club" to Christopher Nolan's blockbusters "The Dark Knight Rises" and "Inception." The many sides of the femme fatale are imprinted all over cinema and they can all be seen in the Femmes Noirs program. All 26 titles are worth your time, but these 10 should not to be missed.
Phyllis Dietrichson (Barbara Stanwyck), "Double Indemnity"
Femme fatales are defined by their duality. Conniving and vulnerable, ravishing and monstrous, Phyllis Dietrichson wears many hats, and one amazing wig, to convince an overconfident insurance agent to kill her husband. Stanwyck's ability to balance Dietrichson's many sides made the character a touchstone of the genre. Playing a frustrated housewife, a damsel in distress, and a heartless villain — sometimes in the same scene — Stanwyck held audiences in the palm of her hands, setting the bar by which all others would be judged.
Veda Pierce (Ann Blyth) "Mildred Pierce"
"Mildred Pierce" is the name of the movie, but the title of femme fatale belongs to Mildred's daughter Veda. "Pierce" tells the story of eponymous character (Joan Crawford), a divorcée who attempts to provide a home for her beloved daughter. Spoiled rotten, Veda is a spider-woman who ensnares Mildred in a web of deceit and poisons her mother's modest dreams of independence. Proving these women don't just prey on detectives, "Mildred Pierce" is a must-see.
Brigid O'Shaughnessy (Mary Astor), "The Maltese Falcon"
"Maybe you love me, and maybe I love you" caps Humphrey Bogart's monologue towards the end of "The Maltese Falcon," hitting on what makes O'Shaughnessy such a remarkable femme fatale: Bogie wants to forgive her. O'Shaughnessy sends Bogart's iconic gumshoe on a wild goose chase for a priceless MacGuffin, but she's more than plumes of smoke and wanting eyes; she hides behind a guise that's deliberately submissive. Mary Astor imbues her character with pathos, turning one of the first femme fatales into one of the saddest as well.
Kitty March (Joan Bennett), "Scarlet Street"
Kitty March is a femme fatale extrême. She's loud, manipulative, and unlike her fellow leading ladies, she doesn't try to hide it. Director Fritz Lang films Kitty out of the shadows, showing her as she plans, flirts, and as she controls. Through her sexual teasing and temptations, she cracks the psyche of Chris Cross (Edward G. Robinson), destroying his once normal life with murder and seduction. Kitty is a wolf in wolf's clothing. Lang's symbolic direction and Bennett's explosive performance make "Scarlet Street" a master class in noir psychology.
Gilda (Rita Hayworth), "Gilda"
As men sailed to Europe in WWII, writers like Raymond Chandler and James M. Cain imagined the shadowy world that their boys would return to. Tales of broken heroes held hostage by sexually empowered women took readers and viewers by storm. Few of these films are as overtly about the fear of strong women as "Gilda." Hayworth uses her sexuality to get her way, but the vindictive men in her life overshadow her transgressions. In the end, Gilda becomes everything the film tries to suppress: strong, sympathetic, and, yes, decent.
Matty Walker (Kathleen Turner), "Body Heat"
With steamy cinematography and a warm, Floridian backdrop, "Body Heat" added some color to noir. Matty enlists the help of a cocky lawyer (William Hurt) to get her rich husband out of the picture. Sound familiar? Writer/director Lawrence Kasdan borrows heavily from "Double Indemnity," but Turner's informed performance steals the show. She has the duality of Phyllis Dietrichson, the sympathy of O'Shaughnessy, and a confidence all her own. "Body Heat" is a genre exercise that will keep you guessing until the final frame.
Elsa Bannister (Rita Hayworth) "The Lady From Shanghai"
Rita Hayworth, in her second appearance on this list, plays the inverse of her star-making role in "Gilda." Cutting her famous locks and dying them blonde, Hayworth plays things close to the chest as she lures Orson Welles into a deadly love-triangle. No longer the extroverted starlet, Hayworth defies expectations with a quieter, more precise performance, building towards the film's legendary climax in a hall of mirrors that's as poetic as it is exciting.
Vera (Ann Savage), "Detour"
Deceit defines film noir, so it's refreshing to see someone cut to the chase. Firm, direct, and unpredictable, Vera goes for the jugular in every scene, making her one of the era's most dangerous women. In "Detour," she gains the upper hand over our protagonist Al (Tom Neal), who's stuck between a lie and dead man's identity. Vera blackmails Al as her every word becomes a tightening noose around his neck. Pitted against Tom Neal's existential nightmare, Ann Savage lives up to her name and injects the film with pure rage.
Christina Bailey (Cloris Leachman) & Lily Carver (Gaby Rogers), "Kiss Me Deadly"
Opening to the sounds of Cloris Leachman's tears cascading over the credits, "Kiss Me Deadly" oozes Cold War dread. The film follows Mike Hammer (Ralph Meeker), who punches his way towards Pandora's box, while Christina and Lily haunt every scene, playing tricks on his memory. The film was so brazen, it signaled the end of film noir's classic era. But that wouldn't stop its influence. The ladies of "Vertigo," "Chinatown," and "Mulholland Drive" have Bailey and Carver to thank for their identity crisis.
Cora Smith (Lana Turner) "The Postman Always Rings Twice"
"The Postman Always Rings Twice" isn't your typical noir, and Lana Turner isn't your typical femme fatale. As Cora Smith, she and Frank (John Garfield) attempt to knock off her husband and start a new life, yet unlike Matty Walker, she has no clue on to how to pull it off. She's beautiful and assertive, but also inexperienced and real. Her desire to turn her husband's quaint restaurant into a roadside hotspot is an affront on the past, and in turn, she is punished for her modernity. A proto-Coen brothers movie of murder gone wrong, "Postman" wrenches your stomach as a lover's dream unravels before your eyes.

.- Television executives are seeking to fuel viewers' new appetite for religious-themed programming, reported Agence France-Presse. The trend was evident at the latest MIPTV audiovisual trade show that closed in Cannes Friday.
Shows such as "The Man Who Would Be the Pope," a Hollywood-style TV miniseries based on the life of John Paul II, historical dramas about famous saints, and glimpses of life inside the Vatican were top picks at the trade show.
Austrian broadcaster ORF's 45-minute film "Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, My Vatican" was particularly appealing to buyers since Pope John Paul II gave the nod of approval to the film before his death and some say the German-born cardinal has a good chance of becoming the next Pope. It already aired on Italian TV yesterday on the first day of the conclave.
CBS News Productions' "Holy Secrets: Electing a Pope" was another hot pick and is now set to air in Hong Kong, the Philippines, Poland and Western European shortly.
Another popular program set for international broadcast was Hallmark Entertainment's "The Man Who Would Be the Pope." Shot in Poland, this TV miniseries tells the story of Karol Wojtyla, the actor turned priest, and named Pope.
In an attempt to capitalize on recent current events, well-known German distributor Beta Film re-released its 1988 Italian-Canadian film "The Jeweller's Shop." The film about the power of love and marriage, starring Burt Lancaster, Olivia Hussey and Ben Cross, was based on a play written by John Paul II.
Movies on the lives of the saints were also highly popular. "Joan of Arc: Child of War, Soldier of God" will be broadcast in Indonesia, South Korea, Taiwan and India as well as in Ireland, Hungary and France. According to the report, the film might also be shown in China, where broadcasters are looking for top-quality history-based programs.

Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on May 25, 2012.
A short film about a poet obsessed with the shadow of death, a raven haired beauty who lives beneath the waters of Biscayne Bay.
This project's funding goal was not reached on May 25, 2012.
Biscayne Blues is an independent short film that will be shot in the streets of Biscayne Boulevard and the waters of Biscayne Bay.
In the story, the poet, Oscar Fuentes has fallen in love with the shadow of death, a raven haired beauty that lives in the emerald waters of Biscayne Bay, his Lady-death. The Poet enlists the help of his band, and in his classic ride, a 74 Dodge Dart, journeys to the underworld to face the succubus that has taken possession of his soul.
Before the poem became a song, Oscar Fuentes was inspired by the juxtaposition of the beauty of the boulevard and the blank stares of the street workers that gave the Boulevard its popularity. He was sensitive to the fact that the boulevard had become a place of refuge and rescue for those that had lost control, a place often invisible to the eyes of a world that didn't care.
About the Director: Claudio Marcotulli Venezuelan/Italian/U.S Citizen. Graduated in communication at Emerson College, Boston, USA, with a master in film production at Miami International University of Art and Design. In his beginnings Claudio worked as a freelance producer/ director in Caracas Venezuela and with Bolivar Films creating permanent audio visual content for renown museums such as the El Museo de Los Niños and presentation for the Mendoza Foundation. Later in 2003 moved back to Miami USA to pursue his master and soon after worked in the production of several features film such as The Valley Of Tears, Hiding Victoria, Document, Gringo Weeding and The Sleepwalker. Claudio worked three years at Venevision Continental and produced/directed a variety of content broadcasted trough this network. Since 2009 he has been an adjunct professor at Miami Dade College teaching courses such as Writing for Electronic Media, Editing , TV and Film Production.
The Funding: One of the things that excited us about funding through Kickstarter, is having a budget that allows us to pay the artists and film enthusiasts who are critical to the success of this project. The funding we gather will be put towards equipment rental, sets, costumes, props, and lighting equipment. Any extra money donated would go towards bigger and better production quality; including post-production costs like color correction and sound mastering.

Jeff Pexton-MHTS
For the past 11 years, every player that has come through the Whitestown Little League has had a baseball experience to remember. From the meticulously manicured playing surface at Robert Hooper Field, to the concession stand that rivals some local restaurants, to the league website packed with stats, updates and updates to the updates, to the 14 banners that line the perimeter of the outfield fence. Ahh, the banners.
Since 2002, Whitestown Little League has been guided by a President, who to say takes the job seriously, would be the understatement of the season. Our latest Adirondack Bank 12th Man award winner, Whitestown Little League President, Bob Kelly, has run New York District X's perennial powerhouse with an unparalleled passion that has helped hoist those 14 championship banners and more, much more.
"Credit the players and the coaches," our reluctant 12th Man told MHTS, adding "All those championship banners belong to them, not me."
Each season there are about 90 players, between the ages of 9 and 12, that make up the 8 teams in the Little League Division of Whitestown Youth Baseball.
Those 90 or so players, are coached by 24 dedicated guys, who go above and beyond to help make the Whitestown experience a memorable one.
During the season Whitestown's little league boss can be found at Hooper Field, about 4 hours a day, six or seven days a week.
If he's not dragging, lining or mowing the field, you may find him shaping the mulch around the landscaped press box. When is the last time you saw landscaping at a little league field? Didn't think so.
"Besides the championships, the improvements we've made to the field and facilities are definitely what I'm most proud of, "Kelly said. "I have been very lucky to have a fantastic group of people that have no problem working really hard to make the place nicer each and every year that I've been here."
Since 2002, the park has seen the addition of a batting cage, heat, air conditioning and other amenities to the press box, also the addition of an all clay infield in 2007 (which was a biggie).
"None of the success in Whitestown Little League would be possible without the commitment of the Whitestown Youth Association (WYA)," according to Kelly. We are very fortunate to have the WYA behind us every step of the way. They rarely say no to anything we ask for, whether it be uniforms, equipment, whatever the kids need."
Whitestown Little League also has about 30 sponsors that come through each and every season, to keep the league moving forward.
Kids in Whitestown LL get an undershirt to wear under their jersey each season and the graduating 12 year olds receive an embroidered duffel bag to keep. "Every year we put a different slogan on the undershirts and the kids look forward to seeing what it is, Kelly said proudly. This year, it was a tribute to our service men and women. One year it said, "got banners?,"and another year it said" it only takes one." It's always fun to see how the kids react, Kelly added with a chuckle."
Adding to the experience and a tradition that Kelly has helped to ingrain to baseball in Whitestown, are the "Gourmet Specials" at the concession on Saturdays. "Every Saturday one team is responsible for bringing a homemade dish to the park for sale in the concession stand. We get everything from Chicken Riggies to Utica Greens to Philly Cheeseteaks and Fries." How popular have the Saturday specials become? "We've gotten to the point that we get calls for takeout orders!'
So, once the inner league play is complete, Whitestown's "all-star" teams get down to business at the "A" level (11-12 year olds), the "B" level (11 year old level) and the "C" level (9-10 year olds).
Little League Baseball sanctions all-star tournament in the "A" and "C" divisions, while local leagues host tournaments at the "B" level, giving a majority of players in Whitestown a chance to wear the coveted all-star uniform and cap.
"Again, its our coaches that expect more from our players year in and year out. Winning is really a habit here," Kelly explained, with a grin of the league's winning tradition. Whitestown has brought home a remarkable 14 banners from all-star competitions since Kelly took over the program in 2002.
Our newest 12th Man won't take credit for the successes of his league in all-star play, he defers instead to the coaches, players and families who make sacrifices every summer to keep the winning tradition going, adding "Every year we have families and coaches cancelling vacations because their team is still alive in a tournament. That's real dedication and that's what makes us different."
Whitestown's long list of successes include a deep run in the 2006 "A" Tournament, which ended with a Section II State Banner and an appearance at the NYS Final Four, where the team lost to eventual Little League World Series participant, Staten Island.
Five of the players from that team and two from the 2005 "A" all-stars (including Kelly's son Robert) went on to win the 2011, New York State, American Legion Championship with Whitestown Post 1113 and finished 2nd in that season's Northeast Regional.
While it would be easy to focus solely on the all-star tournament success that the league has enjoyed under his watch, Kelly instead gets the biggest satisfaction from the experiences of each player in the Whitestown League itself.
"That's what its all about, the kids who play from when they're 9 or 10 years old, getting to their 12 year old season and leaving here with great memories from playing baseball and hopefully continuing their baseball at the next level. That's what I will always remember most," said Kelly.
While the longtime President has no plans of leaving his beloved position, our 12th Man does want to offer any potential successor a little advice, to wit: "Running the league isn't as hard as it looks, just keep the train on the tracks, keep great coaches and volunteers in place and keep the kids first and foremost and you are all set."
What Bob forgot to mention is that he also does all of the scheduling, insurance paperwork, Little League compliance tasks and run a player draft each and every season as well.
So, with NY District X Little League all-star season just around the corner and another solid season of baseball fun just wrapping up over in Whitestown, My Hometown Sports and Adirondack Bank would like to congratulate Bob Kelly as the newest 12th Man Award recipient.
Thanks Bob, for all of your efforts, a great majority of your time and the level of dedication that you have unselfishly donated to the kids who have played ball in Whitestown in the last 11 years.
In answer to your age old question Bob, yes, the players in Whitestown Little League can dig it.

Update Notes
Updated on: 05/19/2015
Since we last visited PantyhosePops...
I have heard of ladies putting their panties in the freezer when it's hot outside so they can experience some relief from the heat. So I figured that on Pantyhose Pops they were doing that with their nylons, letting their long legs get the cool treatment. But once I realized the site was part of the Fetish Network I knew I was in for something much kinkier than that.
It turns out that the "pops" are fake loads dumped onto pantyhose and that on its own is kinky enough, but PantyhosePops takes it up a notch. They use sex machines for the hard pounding bits, along with vibrators to make the babes climax and then they finish it off with dildos that squirt enormous loads of cream.
You can watch it all go down on 39 Full HD videos. They list various Flash options, but when you download them they're actually MP4s and Flash just refers to the embedded streaming player. Many of the movies come with large vid caps rather than actual photographs, but there are 14 photo sets too. There hasn't been an update in about nine months, though.
Not all the scenes actually contain the elements I mentioned above. Some babes forego the added stimulation of a vibrator and concentrate solely on the thrusting from the Caesar 2.0 Love Machine. They go through a number of positions and pleasure their clits, often through holes in their pantyhose after initially pulling it tight to show off a cameltoe.
One scene departs dramatically from the others. Sexy pornstar Mae Olsen lives out one of her biggest masturbation fantasies. Having always wished for her own big cock to stroke, you'll see her using a large squirting dildo held in place by her pantyhose. She strokes it with lots of enthusiastic moaning until it busts a gigantic artificial nut.
I mentioned that this site was part of a network and you end up with plenty of additional sites, including Pantyhose Creep, Footdom Videos and Nylon Fetish Videos. These definitely add some value to your membership, because Pantyhose Pops isn't the biggest site. It's worth a look at it's current size, but it won't keep you around for long unless it gets back to updating.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.
Score: 40% Date: 12/27/2015
I have to give this site a way below failing grade for one problem that hinder the entire process. Everytime I tried to log in, it sends me to this address to re login. Even though I waited 20 mins without logging in. It gave me a new logging now I still can't gain access. Not worth the price.

Hi, Im using Windows XP with Windows Media Player 11. Since I upgraded to WMP 11 I have came across many problems with the same, sometimes in playback and sometimes in file format. Finally decided to rollback to version 10 which I used for years and never had any problems. But when I go to remove WMP 11 a popup box comes up saying me
This may affect other programs; are you sure you want to continue?
Surprisingly there is no button to confirm, continue or OK. Only the button available there is Cancel. So how can I continue or uninstall WMP 11? Somebody please help. I want to get rid of WMP 11 and use v10. Thank you.

My Favorite Year (1982)
Alan Swann: I'm not an actor, I'm a movie star!
[Alan Swann has blundered into the wrong restroom]
Lil: This is for ladies only!
Alan Swann: [unzipping fly] So is *this*, ma'am, but every now and then I have to run a little water through it.
Uncle Morty: So, Mr. Swann, we've spent time, we've broken bread together. I feel I know you.
Swann: Morty, I feel I know you even better.
Uncle Morty: So you won't mind if I ask you a personal question.
Benjy Stone: Uncle Morty!
Uncle Morty: What's the matter, you think I was born in Minsk a Pinsk?
Swann: Morty, ask your question.
Uncle Morty: That paternity rap a few years ago - did you shtup her?
Belle: So, Swanny...
Benjy Stone: Ma, he's an actor, not a river.
Alan Swann: Stone... I'm afraid. I'm afraid. That's why I couldn't get out of the car to see my Tess, my child.
Benjy Stone: Alan Swann, afraid? The Defender of the Crown? Captain from Tortuga? The Last Knight of the Round Table?
Alan Swann: Those are movies, damn you! Look at me! I'm flesh and blood, life-size, no larger! I'm not that silly God-damned hero! I never was!
Benjy Stone: To *me* you were! Whoever you were in those movies, those silly goddamn heroes meant a lot to *me*! What does it matter if it was an illusion? It worked! So don't tell me this is you life-size. I can't use you life-size. I need Alan Swanns as big as I can get them! And let me tell you something: you couldn't have convinced me the way you did unless somewhere in you you *had* that courage! Nobody's that good an actor! You *are* that silly goddamn hero!
Swann: Dying is easy. Comedy is hard.
Benjy Stone: I think I'm going to be unwell.
Alan Swann: Ladies are unwell, Stone. Gentlemen vomit.
Alan Swann: Rookie, your Meatloaf Mindanao was superb!
Rookie Carroca: Thanks. That takes two days to prepare, you know.
Alan Swann: Really! Tell me, what was that rather pungent taste?
Rookie Carroca: Parrot!
[someone spits up and Aunt Sadie swoons; the parrot cage is empty]
Rookie Carroca: And they're not easy to work with. They put up some squawk.
Alan Swann: I can imagine!
Benjy Stone: Bring Allan Swann to Brooklyn?
Belle: Sure, what are you ashamed of?
Benjy Stone: Everything!
Alice Miller: Sy Benson: a tower of Jell-O.
Alan Swann: [gazing deep into K.C's eyes] These eyes. They're Merle Oberon's eyes.
Benjy Stone: Merle Oberon's! Oh, and what's Merle doing for eyes? Using Katharine Hepburn's?
[Alan Swann pours himself a drink]
Benjy Stone: Mr. Swann, I was supposed to watch you, remember?
Swann: Good. Watch this.
[Pours another drink]
[an obviously drunken Swann meets the writing staff]
Sy: He's plastered!
Alan Swann: So are some of the finest erections in Europe.
K.C.: I mean, what do you want from me?
Benjy Stone: Sex!
Alan Swann: Damn you! I'm not an actor, I'm a movie star!
Swann: I haven't performed in front of an audience for twenty-eight years! I played a butler. I HAD ONE LINE!
Swann: I forgot it.
Swann: What's in a name? A rose by any other name would wither and die.
Leo Silver: [reading from the newspaper] "In response to the question, 'What were you doing in Central Park, in Bethesda Fountain, at 1 in the morning, naked?', Swann replied, 'The back stroke.'"
Stockbroker #1: [looking over the edge of the balcony] I think Alan Swann is beneath us!
Stockbroker #2: Of course he's beneath us. He's an actor!
Stockbroker #1: No! I think Alan Swann is beneath us right now!
Alan Swann: Who is that gorgeous-looking creature over there?
Maitre d': Oh, no, Mr. Swann. This is exactly the way it started last time.
Alan Swann: In that case, we'll just order dinner... for now.
Sy: Leo, it gets me sick to think we gotta put up with some washed-up jaboni who's gonna be running around Central Park with his schlong hangin' out!
Alan Swann: My dear fellow, what I choose to do with my schlong is my business.
Sy: [who didn't know Swann had entered] How's business?
Alan Swann: Never better.
K.C.: Do you think there are funny people and not-funny people?
Benjy Stone: Yes. Definitely. On the funny side there are the Marx Brothers, except Zeppo; the Ritz Brothers, no exceptions; both Laurel *and* Hardy; and Woody Woodpecker. On the unfunny side there's anyone who has ever played the accordion professionally.
Belle: Welcome to my humble chapeau!
Benjy Stone: Two years at the Sorbonne and she still can't get it right.
Alan Swann: Alfredo, telephone the Stork Club, we'll be two for dinner.
Alfi: You sure you want the Stork Club, Mr. Swann?
Alan Swann: It's been a year and a half. Surely they've repaired the wall of the bandstand by now.
[Handing Benjy a glass]
Alan Swann: Stone, you can watch me or you can join me. One of them is more fun.
Alan Swann: Are you still in the fight game?
Rookie Carroca: In a way. I married Benjy's mother.
Benjy Stone: Catherine, Jews know two things: suffering, and where to find great Chinese food.
[Benjy Stone and a very drunken Alan Swann are up on a roof as Swann attempts to shimmy down the side of the building]
Benjy Stone: Let's *not* do this - it's too dangerous!
Alan Swann: Nonsense! It worked perfectly well in "A Slight Case of Divorce"!
Benjy Stone: That was a movie! This is real life!
Alan Swann: What is the difference?
Sy: California? You can't write comedy in California! It's not depressing enough!
K.C.: Sanctuary! Sanctuary!
Benjy Stone: Sanctuary my ass!
Belle: Allen, what can I offer you to drink?
Swann: Some club soda, thank you.
Belle: [yelling into the kitchen] Rookie, a glass of seltzer!
Rookie Carroca: [yelling back] Pick it up!
King Kaiser: They're not serving tongue at lunch today, are they Leo? No tongue on show day. Twice they served tongue on show day, twice the opening sketch died... No tongue, get it? No tongue. Tongue, death...
Benjy Stone: What are you doing?
Alan Swann: Drinking and leaving!
Swann: [watching a movie] Oh, good God! It's Renfield! I thought he was dead!
[Renfield's character "dies" on screen]
Swann: Oh, yes! So he is!
Sy: Benjy, you want to see movies, get a job as an usher. The rest of us are here to write professional show-business comedy!
Herb Lee: [whispers to Alice]
Alice Miller: [to Sy, for Herb] In your case, semi-professional.
King Kaiser: I don't know. He *is* a legend. One of the biggest stars ever. He's one of a kind. A guy like this is irreplaceable. Replace him, Leo.
Alan Swann: Stone, women love to be intrigued. They enjoy unraveling the mystery that is man, but you must allow them the freedom to discover you.
Benjy Stone: Is that what you do?
Alan Swann: No. I don't have that luxury. The women who are interested in me know exactly who I am and what they want, and nine times out of ten, they get it.
Benjy Stone: That's some curse.
Alan Swann: You'd be surprised. You see, no matter what I do, I can never fulfill their expectations.
Scalfoni: Scalfoni, 1R. You're the best!
Swann: How did you get into the building?
Scalfoni: I'm the Super.
Herb Lee: Oh God this makes me happy!
Swann: [waking up] What is the time?
girl in bed: I don't know. Don't you have a watch?
Swann: No. I'm not allowed to wear a watch.
girl in bed: Why not?
Swann: I don't trust them.
girl in bed: Why?
Swann: One hand is shorter than the other.
King Kaiser: You look real nice today, Alice. Did you get those shoes I sent you?
Alice Miller: Oh yeah.
King Kaiser: Why did you send them back?
Alice Miller: They were the wrong size. And they were used.
Sy: We're discussing morals. We're talkin' generations to come here.
Alice Miller: [for Herb] You're not qualified to discuss morals, Sy.
Sy: Up your hole with a Mello Roll, Alice! You too, Herb!
Swann: [looking at a smashed liquor bottle] That's a sad sight!
Benjy Stone: Doesn't Sy's office take on a whole different feeling at night?
K.C.: Yeah, it gets worse.
Swann: My good man, what I choose to do with my schlong is my business!
Benjy Stone: Mr. Swann, I think I'm going to be unwell.
Swann: Stone, ladies are unwell. Gentlemen vomit.
Benjy Stone: Mm-hm.
Swann: [to a random gentleman] Alfredo, you needn't wait. We shan't need the car any more. We're going to throw up in the park and then walk home.
Benjy Stone: You! I need to have word with you.
K.C.: Uh, Benjamin, we're in the middle of an interesting conversation here.
Benjy Stone: Oh, I'll bet it's real interesting. What's the topic of this interesting conversation?
Alan Swann: These eyes, they're Merle Oberon's eyes.
Benjy Stone: Merle Oberon! What's Merle doing for eyes, using Katharine Hepburn's?
Swann: Stone, I didn't marry any of them. They... married me.

"That's what's funny about the sprinters, they struggle to get over a motorway bridge but when you have to elbow your way to the front and get up to 75km/h for the sprint, they're up for it."
-- Florent Brard of Team Cofidis talking about the Tour de France sprinting feats of Mark Cavendish
Sounds familiar. I feel a little better now, that it took me some huffing and pedaling to keep up some kind of speed over the Cape Cod Rail Trail's bridge over Route 6 between Harwich and Brewster, Mass.
even though not even in the same universe of cycling, it's reassuring to know that the sprinters are not immune to gravity either.

It's been just over two months since a fatal house fire killed three children here in the east. But a new day is dawning for the Pittman family.
Shortly after the fire, Onslow County pulled together to build the family a brand new home.
Tuesday we stopped by for a look at the progress. The house is coming together quickly- likely within the 90 day timeframe the volunteers originally set.
Everyone putting in the effort to build the home chose to remain anonymous.
No word yet on a move in date for the Pittman family.
