Hunting Cockroaches and Other Plays
Janusz Glowacki's highly theatrical and often hilarious works concern the immigrant experience of the Eastern European in America, the struggles of the individual in a repressive state, and the manipulations of political and social power. The girls' reform school of Cinders, the Lower East Side tenement of Hunting Cockroaches, and the Norwegian court littered with bodies in Fortinbras Gets Drunk serve as backdrops for Glowacki's tragicomic explorations of the play within the play of contemporary existence.
"Extremely clever and provocative writing. . . . Mr. Glowacki has a keen ability to mine the dark absurdist humor in the language of terror and makes elegant Kafkaesque comedy of his nation's ongoing nightmare of repression." --Frank Rich, New York Times
"Glowacki's work has some kind of hope secretly hidden in it. Maybe it's only because it makes laughter--if you don't burst the stitches and bleed to death." --Arthur Miller
"To put it poetically, [Glowacki] is a writer whose subject matter is that rare combination of the socially relevant and the universally human. He can look steadfastly into the bleak depths of the human condition and still have the faith and conviction to find sunlight in the rubble." --Joseph Papp

As a summer opera program for emerging singers, the New York Opera Conservatory had to re-think a way to not disappoint its students in light of the covid epidemic. But how do you maintain social distancing in opera rehearsals and performances? How do you lift moods during such an intense period of uncertainty?
The Conservatory's answer was to make the pandemic the backdrop of an opera, and some of its consequences a part of the production! Since Mozart's Don Giovanni (a dark tragedy) had already been chosen by the Conservatory for its summer program, it was totally reimagined as a comedy taking place during a pandemic, and created entirely by relying on digital technology and cell phones. The entire production was staged, filmed, and edited without any of the cast and technical crew leaving home.
Every special effect offered by phones was used throughout the production, from Snapchat filters to tinder messaging to turning the tenor aria "Il mio tesoro" into a home cooking show…showing us just how bizarre and surreal the world has become. Production glitches, similar to what you see every day in the media where programming is home-based, are a major part of the charm of the work.
This production is offered FREE OF CHARGE to the public, however, any donation large or small will help to recover essential revenues lost as a result of the pandemic. Visit the Taconic Opera website to make a donation: www.TaconicOpera.org

Don Giovanni is available on YouTube to watch at your leisure and as often as you like: https://youtu.be/Mwa428_ZJpI

After a busy week of interviews, research, and gallivanting across Dublin, I decided to escape the city for a bit and spend sometime in the Irish countryside. From what my host family told me, there's no better place to be on a rare sunny day than Glendalough, home of the enchantingly beautiful Wicklow Mountains. From my view, the mountains are somewhat of a metaphor for Irish Culture: mysterious, majestic, and undaunted by anything.
When I stepped off the tour bus and into the historic monastic settlement in Glendalough, my imagination instantly transported me a thousand years back to the tenth century. I was trying to imagine the reactions of the early settlers of Ireland the first time they encountered the mountains, and how utterly entrancing it would have been. Sadly I only had a few hours to spend wandering about the mountain range, but I plan on returning some day.
The next stop on the day tour was a place called "Powerscourt Gardens," and it is most certainly named incorrectly. Simply calling it a garden gives the impression that there are a few flowers here and there that are tended to by an old woman with a passion for horticulture. No. This place was a palace straight out of Narnia or Lord of the Rings. Surrounding the stately mansion were flowers of all shapes, sizes, and colors from across the globe. The lawn was perfectly manicured and more well groomed than Donald Trump's hair. I couldn't help but think about the vast dichotomy between Powerscourt and what I had been witnessing in the past few days. Here was a place one could only dream of ever owning; brimming with eloquence and royalty at every turn. Meanwhile in Dublin, homeless families cram into a packed hotel room and live paycheck-to paycheck. I'm by no means discouraging beautiful monuments and estates from existing. It's just sad knowing that the cost of one "object" could easily feed and house hundreds of people.
Nonetheless, a beautiful day in the country.

The Chicago Bulls guard Michael Jordan, 1992, with Marc Hauser. "This was done on a day when I shot Michael in ads for Bigsby & Kruthers, Hanes, Bachrach, and After Six Tuxedos. At the beginning he came up to me and said, 'Marc, are you a professional?' I said yes. He said, 'I'm a professional, too. And we professionals get it right the first time. When I'm aiming for a basket, I get it. And when you take a picture, you should get it after the first couple of shots. So we're going to give you one roll for each national ad. I've got to get to the golf course.'" (Hauser is wearing a tie that he designed for the Absolut vodka company.)

Natural skin care tips for daily skin care. Layering skin care products is very popular in Asia. Skin care is taken very very seriously.
I'm not using products here, but I am layering my products. This is my favorite method for facial skin care and it's best for skin care night time. Daytime, you want to use a technique that's requires lighter layers. I also recommend sleeping on your back, because not only is it better for your body, but it's better for your face. Enjoy!

Today I signed up for my very first sewing challenge ever, the Me-Made May 13 challenge, hosted by Zoe from So, Zo… What do you know?
I´m really excited about this, because there are quite a few things that I have made over the past couple of years that I have shamelessly neglected and I´m really looking forward to rediscovering those and others that I wear practically every week, so now I have an excuse to wear those even more.
My pledge goes as follows: "I, Wendy of CoserCosas, sign up as a participant of Me-Made-May '13. I endeavour to wear at least one piece of self-made garment each day for the duration of May 2013".
I really hope I can accomplish this, I think I have enough self-made garments to make it through the month of May, although I didn´t promise to not repeat an outfit because my wardrobe is not entirely filled with homemade clothing.
I will be posting my worn me-mades during the month of May right here.
Now let's hope the weather in May is kind to us, as I usually make cotton dresses and I hate being cold…

Roofing services.
Roof repair is something a homeowner will always have to deal with. It can include anything from fixing damaged shingles, holes, and roof leaks to gutter cleaning. A roof contractor, also called a roofer or roofing contractor, often handles all of these problems. The failure to fix minor roof deterioration can cause premature roof problems. Chimney or other structural repair, like masonry or carpentry, will require other roofing skills. Roofing materials include roofing nails, roofing felt, shingles, tar paper and other materials. Roof repair is an important part of home maintenance and choosing the right roofing contractor is very important.
It would be a good idea to check your attic and every room in your house at least once a year during a long rainy day to see if anything is leaking. The sooner you detect and address the roof leaking problem, the less it will cost to repair the leaks. If a roof leak for an extended period of time, not only it will damage the interior of your house, but also can cause deterioration of your roof structure. In that case, it will be a lot costlier to repair the roof structure as well.
Cleaning gutters is an unavoidable task that many homeowners are often faced with. The end of Fall is the most important time for cleaning gutters once the leaves come down and clog the gutters. However, another key time for cleaning the gutters is during the spring. Spring is when most of the rain falls, and as a result, this is the crucial time to make sure that your guttering system is clear of all debris. Even though you had your gutters cleaned during the Fall, there are still many things that can clutter them over the course of the winter. Clogged gutters can pull down your guttering system and sizable portions of your roof. A quick and inexpensive solution is to get your gutters cleaned which in turn can save you hundreds of dollars in repairs and replacements.
Gutters filled with water, leaves, or other debris can cause many problems including roof strain, mosquito breeding, or even foundation erosion. Regular rain gutter cleaning is the only way to ensure that your gutters perform well and do not age prematurely.
We can also offer other services like power washing, upper window cleaning, or roof cleaning. It is often beneficial to combine these tasks with other roofing services. Gutter repair is sometimes needed after damage caused by a storm, impact, or high winds. Though gutter repair is sometimes performed on gutter systems that are several decades old, in most cases, replacement of aged gutters is a better option.
To reduce your electric cost during summer, our roofers can install wind turbines, attic fans, or roof vents to reduce the intense heat in your attic.
Please call us at 360-706-9097 or contact us by e-mail if you have any questions or comments; or make an appointment by clicking on the button below for a free estimate on all work that you may want done. We are available 5 to 6 days a week (Mon.-Sat.) between 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Within the next week, I will sit on two "expert" panels at a writer's conference. I only put expert in quotes because I'll be on them. In one, I may sit near the renowned Anne Perry as well as other people who have significant authorial chops. To say nothing of copious sitting-on-a-panel chops.
I have no panel chops. I've taught a lot of writing classes (presenting myself as an expert)(and being accepted as one). I've discussed writing endlessly in groups small and large, and done it with some confidence, even at times with brio. But facing a score or more total strangers while pretending I have something worthwhile to say about writing holiday or historical mysteries is pretty damn challenging.
Charlie Rose (whom I adored until you-know) once talked with actor Robert Pattinson (of Twilight fame) about the Impostor Syndrome. Mr. Rose said, referring to his own Impostor problem (and I'm not referring to the ghastly #MeToo disclosures), "I always think, if only they knew…" and Pattinson confessed to his own issues. So, maybe the most accomplished among us suffer from the same affliction as I do. To be clear: the pervasive thought that we are bullshitting the world. "If only they knew."
Odds are good that I will have survived more Christmases than anyone else in the building, but that fact hardly confers expertise. I put my long-running holiday success down to two things: a compulsive need to reposition tree baubles and a visceral dislike of eggnog. The first keeps me very busy and the second keeps me out of drunken confrontations with relatives over the crappy presents they foisted on me in years past.
I have this vision of showing up naked for the panels (but I always look like J Lo or, in a pinch, that hot, totally ripped Marine I spotted at the airport). After all, the vision is the visual equivalent of what I know. Or (which just might actually happen and if it does just ignore me) the moderator will ask me to introduce myself and I'll just faint and slide under the table. Hopefully, I won't slide into Anne Perry on my way down.
Total strangers I bump into on the streets of Baku or Kuching or Heraklion are instant friends. I joke, I laugh, I ask questions. I am a charming Charlotte Rose, totally without the dread Impostor Syndrome. In Franklin Tennessee, at Killer Nashville, I may morph into the human equivalent of a pile of grits. Cheese grits, of course. Please don't come and watch.

Sergio Ramos
Sergio Ramos is one of those good looking angry Spanish footballers that you cannot get your eyes off from. Others in the list could be a Diego Costa. Known as the captain of the much celebrated Real Madrid, Ramos has assisted the team to many a champions league victories and La Liga's too.
He plays as wing back for most of his time on the filed alongside with Marcelo on the other side of the pitch both taking long runs across the flanks to create great chances for Bale and Ronaldo and Benzema.
Ramos has been at his peak of performance as a defender in Real Madrid better than he ever had at any other club that he has ever played for. Should he be on your fantasy league and collectable squad? Without a doubt, he should!

NORTH MUSKEGON, MI – Visitors took advantage of the pleasant weather and the season's first major snowfall Saturday, by visiting the Muskegon Winter Sports Complex.
Hockey players glided on the ice ponds out front, while children squealed gleefully as they slid down the hills. Others explored the facility's trails on skis, snowshoes or ice skates while some visitors zoomed down the luge track.
But the winter sports activities weren't the only things going on at the sports complex Jan. 26.
A "Made in Michigan" art festival, a snurfer contest and other events were also part of the fun, thanks to an event hosted by the facility and Watermark Live, a branch of the Watermark Center in Muskegon.
They hosted their first-ever "Party in Your Parka" event, which was billed as a celebration of Michigan's 176th birthday.
In addition to the fair and the snurfer competition, the event free kids' activities, a performance by the Grand Rapids-based Crane Waves and a lounge area featuring Michigan beer, food from Fatty Lumpkins Sandwich Shack and coffee and hot cocoa from Drip Drop Coffee.
Area residents said they were enjoying their day at the sports complex.
Kristy Brevel said she, her husband, Matt Brevel, and her daughters Emma and Taylor Kenney were having a good time as they exited from the art fair tent.
"So far, it's pretty good," she said. "It's just nice getting out and about in the middle of winter."
North Muskegon resident Holly Casey sat inside the tent while her son got his face painted.
"It's the first time that we've really been out here," she said, adding that her husband and another son were out on the hockey pond.
"I think it's nice," she said about the event.
Out-of-town visitors also seemed to have a good time at the complex.
Boy Scout Troop 48 from Lake Forest, Ill., spent their afternoon going down the ice luge. Frank Yi, one of the older scouts who helped organized the trip, said he enjoyed "everything" about the experience.
"I liked just the thrill of going down," he said, before joining his peers for a group photo.
Over at the lodge, six-year-old Spencer Hoag took a cookie break while his father, Bill Hoag said they traveled all the way Williamston, near Lansing, to hit the ice skating trail and to try the luge.
"I thought it was cool," Bill Hoag said about the trail. "It's like skating in nature."

Labour was the most active party with 398,168 tweets between them, the Conservatives a distant second on 245,707, and the Liberal Democrats third with 94,675.
In a sign of how swiftly the political world has adopted the medium of the 140-character message, total tweets by MPs were up 28 per cent on the previous year and 238 per cent higher than in 2011.

LOS ANGELES — By tradition, I guess, the editor in chief of a league website is supposed to write a note at the start of every season.
Well, here is mine ahead of MLS' 17th season. Take it for what it is: an editor's note and everything I believe in when it comes to MLS and soccer in the United States and Canada.
First Kick Calendar
COL vs. CLB: 6 pm ET, MLS LIVE
DC vs. SKC: 7:30 pm ET, MLS LIVE
SJ vs. NE: 10:30 pm ET, MLS LIVE
LA vs. RSL: 10:30 pm ET, MLS LIVE
CHV vs. HOU: 7 pm ET, Galavision
1. No more apologies.
Over the past 16 years, MLS has had its ups and downs, from the league's amazing launch in 1996 to the demoralizing contraction of 2001. But for the most part, these past few years — namely since 2007 when Toronto FC and David Beckham arrived — it has been on the up.
In the past five years, we saw six teams join the league, all of whom have enjoyed incredible success. Not always on the field — yes, I'm looking at you, Toronto — but in the way they have jumped into the fray. Those six teams — Toronto, San Jose, Seattle, Philadelphia, Portland and Vancouver — came in with new attitudes, new owners and, most importantly, new fans who very quickly raised the bar of what it means to be a supporter.
Chants. Marches to the match. Tifo displays. Scarves up. DOOP (whatever that is). All of this has become part of our supporters culture.
Of course, those of us who have been around long enough know that the supporter culture isn't new in MLS. After all, the chanting, marching, scarf-wearing, tifo-displaying fanatics in Section 8 and Midnight Riders and the Screaming Eagles and so on have long had things pretty well figured out. But the newcomers amplified what was already going on, bringing bigger crowds than ever and demanding that they be respected.
Respect is earned, they say. True. But I believe it is also commanded. Too often, in the past, admitting to being an MLS fan meant you always had a quick apology in your back pocket. Or at least an explanation.
No more.
Being an MLS fan means something now. It means you recognize that MLS has resonance in the global soccer community, where the LA Galaxy can be seriously discussed in the same breath as Chelsea and AC Milan and Real Madrid. It means you aren't that surprised to see 64,000-plus Seattlites show up to say goodbye to Kasey Keller (right).
Kasey Keller: Goalkeeper of the Year
It means you don't care anymore that some old-school media ignore MLS, because you can get your news from mobile apps and Twitter and watch live games on MLS LIVE. It means you know you're not selling out or betraying anyone if you watch an EPL match on Saturday and support your local club.
In short, it means you have passion. And trust me, during the worst of times, it was passion that pulled the league and its clubs through. A passion for the game and a passion to see something grow.
2. Growth Pattern
And it is growing. On all fronts.
- The Montreal Impact are the league's 19th club. In just a few short years, MLS has gone from being half the size of the EPL, La Liga, Serie A and Ligue 1 to being comparable to all of them in the number of teams. And MLS has one more club than both the Bundesliga and Eredivisie.
- BBVA Compass Stadium, opening in May in Houston, and Saputo Stadium, opening in June in Montreal, will bring the soccer-specific stadium count in the US and Canada to 14. And bulldozers are ready to move for a new stadium in San Jose. I remember a time when there were none.
- NBC has entered into a three-year broadcasting partnership with the league, joining ESPN and Galavision. Arlo White and Kyle Martino will start their slate of games with Dallas-New York on Sunday at 3 pm ET. Many people all have high hopes about the NBC broadcasting deal, and NBC has high hopes for MLS. They wouldn't have made the deal if they didn't believe in it.
But it goes beyond these concrete examples. MLS is also growing in stature. Whether it's the likes of Landon Donovan and Thierry Henry going to the EPL and driving their team's success, or the recent arrivals here of stars like German World Cup star Arne Friedrich, Italian international Matteo Ferrari and Scottish goal machine Kris Boyd, players and coaches and even fans around the world are impressed.
Anecdotally, I've found they are much more impressed and knowledgeable than we actually know. Which leads me to ...
3. MLS is one of the great leagues of the world.
This is something I have said many times in recent years. And, yes, typically the bloke next to me at the bar chokes on his pint when I say it.
2012 Season Preview: Predictions
But I truly believe it.
Because, to me, "greatness" comes in many different forms. And many different characteristics make up a great league.
- Competition: No major league in the world is as competitive as MLS. This really hit me when I was recently forced to predict the MLS Cup finalists for a season preview video (right). I was stuck. Because the league's structure — the salary cap, SuperDraft, playoffs, etc. — makes it uniquely competitive. Unlike the big leagues in Europe, just about every MLS team has a chance at success each year.
- Ownership: MLS has owners who have made real commitments in the face of historically long odds.
- Stadiums: Today, the stadiums and facilities in MLS are top notch. Most of the stadiums are new
- Growth: see above.
- Fans: The number of fans continues to grow. And the number of supporters continues to grow proportionately. Because, you know, passion, etc.
So, as the 17th season of MLS, think about all of this. Or don't. Because there's nothing some editor can do or say that will make you be a fan of MLS the way I am. But, maybe, this year you'll find out out where the league has been, where it is, and where it's going.
We have a saying around our offices: We're getting there. Seems as fitting for MLS as it is for MLSsoccer.com.
Now, let's kick this thing off!

A San Antonio-based developer is planning to build an 850-foot-tall skyscraper in downtown Austin, which would be the city's tallest building.
Lynd Development Partners is teaming with Dallas-based Lincoln Property Co. on the proposed mixed-use tower, which is planned for 600 Guadalupe St., Lynd's president and CEO Michael Lynd Jr. told the American-Statesman. The building would have more than 300 luxury apartments atop office and retail space, Lynd said.
The tower as currently designed has 62 stories, although there could be more, possibly up to the "mid-70s" range, Lynd said.
At 850 feet, it would eclipse both the 56-story Austonian condominium high-rise, which is 683 feet tall, and the Independent, a 58-story condominium high-rise (nicknamed the "Jenga tower" for its unusual design) currently under construction that is on track to be 685 feet tall.

"We are going to develop a 21st century tower that is truly mixed use in one of the most vibrant neighborhoods in all of Texas," Lynd said. "This will be an iconic tower. We are very excited about this project and its prominent address on Sixth and Guadalupe."
Along with apartments, the building would have more than half a million square feet of office space, plus ground-floor retail space, Lynd said.
The project is being designed by Gensler's Austin office.
Austin-based real estate consultant Charles Heimsath, president of Capitol Market Research, said, "This is a superexciting announcement on a block that is one of a small handful of full block sites left in downtown."
There is no official name for the building yet, which is going under the working name of 600 Guadalupe for now. Lynd didn't have a projected cost for the project, and he wouldn't comment on financing except to say he's confident Lynd and Lincoln will be able to obtain it.
The proposed project would be built on the block bounded by West Sixth, West Seventh, Guadalupe and San Antonio streets, now home to an Extended Stay America hotel. Lynd said his company has the site under contract from Extended Stay for an undisclosed price. The hotel was built in 2000, according to the Travis Central Appraisal District, which valued the 1.6-acre site at $19.5 million this year.
Lynd said his company will be submitting plans for the project for review by the city of Austin in the near future. He said he anticipates breaking ground in the next nine to 12 months.
The office portion of the project would open first, with space ready to occupy just over two years after breaking ground, Lynd said. The entire project is expected to take four years to complete, Lynd said.
Lynd said existing entitlements on the site allow for up to 1.1 million square feet of development. The building would be designed to concentrate most of its height on the eastern portion of the tract, to comply with rules designed to preserve views of the Capitol dome.
Lynd said that given the limited number of sites in downtown Austin that are entitled for development, "we felt using as much of the entitlements (as possible) is wise."
The tower wouldn't be the first project in downtown Austin for Lynd or Lincoln.
Lincoln developed 5th+Colorado, a new 18-story office tower whose tenants include Indeed Inc. Lynd, meanwhile, partnered with Austin-based Endeavor Real Estate Group to develop the Bowie, a 36-story apartment tower near West Fifth and Bowie streets.
Heimsath said he believes ample demand exists in downtown Austin to support additional office and apartment development.
"The mix of office and apartment use is exactly what is needed in downtown as both market segments are very favorable for new development at the present time," he said.
Lynd said his company is in talks with potential office tenants, but he declined to elaborate.
"Given downtown occupancies, there's a lot of demand in the market," Lynd said.
Rents for top-tier office space downtown set a record as of June, averaging $54.11 a square foot per year, Cushman & Wakefield said in its latest quarterly office report. Several office buildings are under construction, and a high-profile one recently opened called 500 West 2nd. That tower, whose anchor tenant is Google, has 505,00 square feet of space and is 95 percent leased.
On the residential side, four condominium high-rises are under construction in downtown Austin, as well as a tower with about 200 apartments that Gables Residential is building that will also have a Hotel ZaZa.
With downtown's apartment supply dwindling and concessions starting to go away as the newest buildings lease up, Lynd said, "we expect to see rents to begin to rise on downtown luxury projects."
Several apartment towers have been announced for downtown, the most recent being a 44-story high-rise planned for the site where Sullivan's Steakhouse is located at West Third and Colorado streets, and two apartment towers that a Dallas developer envisions for a site that currently houses the Villas on Town Lake condominiums at the end of Red River Street.

I assume the risk to say that Sasha is the best remixer of the moment. And the present CD here fully demonstrates this fact. Sasha is considered for a few years a kind of phenomena, a wonder-person who succeeded in radically changing the electronic music industry. It has been "Airdrawndagger", an album received with lots of enthusiasm by the public, it has been and there still are a lot of gigs where Sasha demonstrates his skills in music. And now it is "Involver". The best dj's know that mixing is first about being able to understand and read people and then the ability to express by their music what they earned from the experience in communicating with people. This capacity to capture sounds on a general - universal level is noticed on this album too, a cd which contains ten tracks mixed, edited and remixed by Sasha. During almost 80 minutes we will enter together a fascinating world, where you have all the chances to fall in love with the sounds, the melody, the beats.
Therefore, the cd gets opened by a futuristic rhythm, which covers tough but also warm sounds, plus an exceptional voice. "Grand National - Talk Amongst Yourselves" is the track which Sasha opens up his mix with, a very pleasant track, with a warm and very slow rhythm, which gets closer by a downtempo a little more daring. The meditative melodic line prepares the listener for a new world, an experience which could be called later what can be the best of the world of sounds. After the respective track, which can also be considered an introduction, it is Shpongle and "Dorset Perception" next, an accumulation of break beat rhythms, which makes the body to shake, reanimates, and gives the impression of a totally control of sounds. As a matter of act the track sounds very well, it opens the break beat session, which Sasha feels so attached to. At a given moment the track takes an aspect of funky, by the introduction of some straggling synths, but everything gets lost when appears a vocal (I'm not so sure if it is masculine or feminine, maybe both), which makes the breakdown, along with the guitar, to shine. On a quiet fond, almost in silence, makes the appearance the track of a young up and coming producer who already takes wings from the Border Community studio. It is about Petter and his track "These Days", off course, reworked by Sasha. The mix continues its break beat way with Unkle and the track "What Are You To Me". We can find here new melodic lines, on which is transposed pretty nice a masculine vocal; it is interesting the fact that Sasha continues a part of Petter's track here too, perfectly transposing it on Unkle's song. A track which came into notice and which I found it one of the most expressive and melodious from this album is the next track after Unkle, "Smile" by The Youngsters. With classic break beat kick, "Smile" contains a vocal by an extraordinary melody. The short and tough synths are transposed on smooth and sweet strings, resulting a super track which will surely capture your soul. After this excellent track, comes in the headline Spooky with the track "Belong". From this moment, the mix changes somehow the trajectory, following the progressive path. Coming up next, it is the well known track by Unkle, "In A State", a track that went down a bomb even since the end of the last year and the beginning of this year. It is for sure one of the projects which James Lavelle can be proud with, but which has on this album a short enough space required. Lostep and the track "Burma" opens up again the break beat atmosphere, this time a little more alive. Another forte track, of value, coming from a talented artist and filtered by another one much talented. Felix Da Housecat offers a quite different sound, much dynamic, less melodious that the previous and let's say, much nervous. It is what makes the public to move, the vivacity which was actually missing till now. An innovative cross fading, exceptionally, is made between this track and the one which closes almost 80 minutes of electronic spirit. Ulrich Schnauss and the track "On My Own" is a kind of break beat, but very dynamic, even aggressive I could say, a track which will truly make the body to move and to vibrate on the rhythm. And so, the master in producing electronic high quality tunes succeeded in surveying many rhythms, many musical genres, many sounds.
"Involver" is an album which won't be forgotten too quickly and too easily, especially if we allow for the fact that those ten tracks have been filtered by Sasha's own style. The artist proves once again with this album that his music has always reached beyond those limits imposed by a certain musical style, thus separating him from his contemporaries. He creates music that gives emotion a chance to speak, this being the universal appeal for the sensibility and imagination of his fans. I said imagination, yes, because he creates by his music images, real images, and not only sounds.

Argentina is South America's most cosmopolitan and 'European' country. From the urban energy of Buenos Aires with its 'rhythm of life Tango' to the timeless grace of the Gauchos and the majestic wilderness that is Patagonia, this is a wonderful country to explore. Flying to Argentina in Alitalia's famed extra-comfort seats will get your visit off to the perfect start.
When you fly to Argentina, Buenos Aires will surely be high on your list of places to see. One of South America's 'coolest' cities, its streets are alive to the music and vitality of the Tango and its less well-known cousin the "Milonga". Its elegant boulevards and museums are echoes of a colonial age but for more earthy color try the "Feria de Mataderos" where you'll find local produce, Gauchos, guitar playing and spontaneous street dancing. The city is now also famous for its fusion cuisine – you can sample it in trendy bars. In short, this is a city you'll love to love!
Travel to Argentina during December-March for summer and its attractions such as fashion week (BAFWEEK). Flight deals to Argentina during spring (September-December) will show the city ablaze with flowers and blooms plus numerous festivals.

You guys all should look at what this scientist/climatologist has to say and writing.
The best are his 15 minutes YouTube videos. Worth your time.
If this is all true what's coming we should have no children and probably the tipping point is already passed.
At this stage is no more matter what we/you do because it's too late.
...also in most of the parts of the world there are insect apocalypse. The numbers of species declining of 80% or more. Many people reporting on different forums of no insects or very limited number of them. An ongoing ecological collapse followed by collapse of our current civilization. Overpopulation, hunger because failing of the crops and disruption of the trade. Then the global dimming effects will be gone and after BOE (Blue Ocean Event) kicks in its going to be a fast drive down the slope.
Believe it or not. I am only feel lucky. First time. I am not young anymore. Probably won't live long enough to face the worst.
We are living in the new epoh called anthropocene where the sixth Extinction of life is happening before our own eyes.

In Nonna Tell Me a Story by Lidia Bastianich, Lidia teaches her grandchildren all about Christmas in Italy. She recounts Christmas preparations she would partake in as a child, and passes down memories as well as recipes to her grandchildren as they prepare for the holidays in current time America. You can enjoy this story with your own grandchildren, and then give some of these fun and frugal crafts a try. They can help you dive into the text a little further, as well as create a fun after text activity to enjoy. Here is how you can get started!
Wine Cork Napkin Rings
Lidia recounts using what they had on hand to create homemade holiday décor. Take a peek at how you can use wine corks, a little paint, and some glue to make some fun and frugal napkin rings.
Supplies Needed:
- Wine Corks
- Sharp Knife
- Hot Glue, Glue Gun
- Green Craft Paint, Small Brush
- Red Ribbon
- Scissors
- Begin by taking the knife and cutting the corks into small, thin discs. You will be able to get about 3-4 discs from each cork.
- Place the corks into a circle shape. Once the circle is formed, add some hot glue between the discs to help join them. Press together until dry and secure.
- Once the corks are dry, go ahead and add your paint. Use a small brush or your finger to dab on the green craft paint as we did.
- Finish the napkin ring by adding a tiny bow. Just cut a length of ribbon, make a bow, trim, and attach with glue.
Roll up a napkin and slide it through the napkin ring. You are now ready to lay it on your place setting. As you can see, they add lots of holiday charm! Gather your supplies and give these wine cork napkin rings a try! They are a great way to enjoy the text a little more.
I'm a 20-something stay-at-home mother and wife. I have an amazing husband, a beautiful daughter, two loving dogs, and a lazy cat. I wouldn't change my life for anything! I love to read, listen to music, cook and blog!


text: Smack in the middle of the Sundance Festival, the one time indie-mainstay Miramax is being closed up by its parent company Disney for good. Founded by Bob and Harvey Weinstein (who left in recent years to start up The Weinstein Company), Miramax in many ways gave birth to what we consider the contemporary indie scene. The company built and furthered the careers of many directors who are now household names: Tarantino, Steven Soderbergh, Gus Van Sant, and Kevin Smith among them. I'm sort of sad, but in reality, the sadness may not last long. With Disney's release of Miramax, the Weinstein brothers may be able to recapture the name, do away with TWC, and continue business as usual. [Source]

Voice Actresses Ai Orikasa, Ami Koshimizu, Yuko Sanpei Leave Baobab
posted on by Egan Loo
Three voice actresses — Ai Orikasa (Gundam Wing's Quatre, Tenchi Muyo's Ryōko), Ami Koshimizu (Spice and Wolf's Holo, Suite PreCure's Cure Melody), and Yuko Sanpei (Eureka Seven's Renton, Seikon no Qwaser's Sasha) — all confirmed early on Saturday morning that they left the agency Production baobab for the relatively new agency Axl-One.
Axl-One was co-founded by fellow voice actor Toshiyuki Morikawa earlier this year. Voice actor Takuma Terashima also switched from Production baobab to Axl-One in September. Three more performers — Eri Taruta, Yuko Mizutani, and Yoshitaka Kure — are no longer listed on Production baobab's website as of Friday, September 30.

Our 30 Favorite Mexican Dishes in Chicago
¡MEXTRAVAGANZA!: The best tacos, tortillas, seviches, queso fundido, ane more
(page 2 of 4)
Tinga Huaraches at HUARACHES DONA CHIO, $6.50
This big, bold Mexico City street-food dish is named after a sandal—for its size and shape, if not for its bluntness. Sofia Calventes, Dona Chio's owner, presses her own thick masa, stuffs the beast with refried beans, and then paves it with salsa verde, juicy marinated chicken, Chihuahua cheese, cilantro, and onions. That's one massive meal for the price. 1547 W. Elmdale Ave.; 773-878-8470
Pollo al Guajillo on Hongos at FRONTERA GRILL, $23
In simplest terms, it's chicken, mashed potatoes, and mushrooms. Coming from Frontera's kitchen, courtesy of the chef de cuisine, Richard James, it's a fork-tender, adobo-marinated Gunthorp breast in red guajillo chili sauce with creamy, thick queso añejo mashed potatoes and the wildest grilled chanterelles possible. 445 N. Clark St.; 312-661-1434
Tortillas at LA CASA DE SAMUEL, $2.21
It all starts with good tortillas, and these chewy handmade miracles make anything exponentially better. For one thing, they're thick and steamy—more substantial than what we're all used to. In every delicious char mark, you taste the thousands of tortillas that preceded yours on the griddle. 2834 W. Cermak Rd.; 773-376-7474
Cochinita Pibil at LA FONDA DEL GUSTO, $16
"Buried baby pig" sounds like a particularly cruel translation, but this suckling porker, which has been slow-roasted, marinated into tender submission with achiote paste, and steamed in banana leaves, is one of the great dishes of Yucatecan cuisine. Dudley Nieto's crispy-tender version, atop a tostada with pickled onions, is a masterpiece. 1408 N. Milwaukee Ave.; 773-278-6100
Camarones Tacos at LA LAGARTIJA TAQUERÍA, $2.50
Luis Perea and Laura Cid-Perea (Bombon Café) graduated from the School of Bayless in 2000, and their new taquería has the same bright colors and flavors as their mentor's. Lagartija's tacos are all fresh and cheap, but the best involves shrimp dabbed with crema and chipotle salsa—shielded by a breading as delicate as you always want tempura to be. 132 S. Ashland Ave.; 312-733-7772
Pollo en Mole Oaxaqueño at LA OAXAQUEÑA, $10
The many dried chilies in a mole negro recipe (and their seeds, too) get toasted until they're dark as midnight. That's what makes it so negro. It also explains why this mom-and-pop's mole is so smoky, earthy, and rich—though we don't know what magic Mom and Pop perform on the chicken to get it to retain its character under such a thick blanket of yum. 3382 N. Milwaukee Ave.; 773-545-8585
Carne a la Panela at LOS NOPALES, $16
It takes a certain hubris for a restaurant to serve three strips of skirt steak in a way that looks blatantly like a crucifix. The wonderful thin charred beef, bolstered by al dente cactus strips, tomatillo sauce, pan-seared panela cheese, and addictively soupy black beans, proves that Los Nopales has confidence in spades. 4544 N. Western Ave.; 773-334-3149
Patas de Jaiba at MARISCOS EL VENENO, $30
When you grow up landlocked like some of us did, a big plate of uncracked crab legs is as frustrating as it is enticing. But with this decadent Nayarit-style dish, wherein the meaty legs are marinated, steamed, and swimming in a wicked-hot red chili sauce, all the hard work pays big dividends—even if we end up covered in buttery garlic. Especially if we end up covered in buttery garlic. 1024 N. Ashland Ave.; 773-252-7200
