According to officials of Election Commission (EC), polling for the other seats is likely to take place in due course.

These eight seats include those which fell vacant due to deaths of sitting members, such as BJP leaders Mahant Chand Nath (Alwar) and Sanwar Lal Jat (Ajmer) from Rajasthan, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) founder Mufti Mohammad Sayeed from Anantnag in Jammu and Kashmir, Mohammad Taslimuddin of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) from Araria in Bihar and Sultan Ahmed of Trinamool Congress from Uluberia in West Bengal.

Apart from these, the Gorakhpur Lok Sabha seat held by Uttar Pradeshchief minister Yogi Adityanath and Phulpur seat of his deputy Keshav Prasad Maurya have also fallen vacant.

The BJP is in power in Rajasthan and is looking for an encore in the assembly elections due next year, while it claimed power in Uttar Pradesh this year following a landslide verdict in its favour. In Jammu and Kashmir, the party is in power as part of a coalition-led by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The electoral battle in West Bengal is also crucial because the BJP is trying to make inroads in the state.

So, as I was writing my post last week about the lizard in the bell, the guy arrived to fix our electric gate into the driveway (which also was not working). We stayed warmly in the kitchen supping on our Friday evening sundowners while he went out into the ever-darkening dusk to tinker and toil on the little plastic box which houses Gate Headquarters and (should, but often doesn't) make the gate open and close at the push of a little blue button.

Twenty minutes later he came in looking suitably handymanny with oily hands and a happy smile. He had removed the family of slugs who had taken up residence. They, apparently, had happily moved in and were leaving their belongings (slime?) around Gate Headquarters


IUCN welcomes Snow Leopard born in Bronx Zoo, calls for more local conservation action

30 August 2013 | News story

IUCN celebrates the birth of the son of Leo the Snow Leopard, himself a rescued orphan from Pakistan in 2005. The cub was born on April 9 at the Bronx Zoo in New York.

In a remarkable story of conservation collaboration between Pakistan and the United States, young Leo, whose mother and siblings were killed, was rescued from the Nalter Valley and taken care of by the Wildlife Department, WWF and IUCN. It was clear that the cub could not be returned to the wild, and with the support of IUCN and the Government of Pakistan, a plan was devised to send him to the Bronx Zoo. Run by IUCN Memberto habitat and prey loss and poaching. The Snow Leopard is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™.

"One of the reasons IUCN helped push hard to get Leo to the Bronx Zoo was because there was simply no adequate facility within Pakistan. A world-class wildlife rescue and rehabilitation facility is still urgently needed in the country,” said Aban Marker Kabraji, IUCN Asia Regional Director.

The fragile high-altitude grasslands and snow covered peaks that provide habitat for Snow Leopards are suffering from overstocking with livestock which has led to a decline in the wild prey base and increased human-wildlife conflict as Snow Leopards must prey on livestock for their survival.

WCS Asia Program Deputy Director Peter Zahler said: “Leo – and his new cub are living proof


no one from the Police Bureau had been in touch with Talic or his friends, he said.

The officer who used the slur remains on patrol.

Police spokesman Sgt. Pete Simpson said Tuesday the bureau began an internal affairs investigation after receiving a copy of the video last week from the media, but at the time, the bureau "had no information on when or where the incident occurred or who shot the video.''

Talic, 23, who works as an assistant manager at the downtown Portland Nordstrom, said he was out with two friends to celebrate his birthday between 11 p.m. and midnight Oct. 5. They had stood on a long line to get into the bar on Southwest Second Avenue, but a bouncer turned them away because one of Talic's friendswas wearing a red patterned shirt. The bouncer told the young men that the shirt could be viewed as potential gang-related attire, the friends said.

Travious Shanklin, 23, who was celebrating with Talic that night, said they argued with the bouncer because they're not gang members.

Shanklin and the third friend are African American. Talic is white. The three all work at the downtown Nordstrom, had just gotten off work and were dressed in slacks, dress shoes and button-down shirts, Shanklin said.

Outside the bar, Central Precinct officers approached Shanklin and his friends, urging them to move off the sidewalk.

On the video, Officers Michael Hall and Heather Martley can be heard telling the young men to leave. According to Shanklin, Martley put her hands on his chest, saying he needed to


go. He challenged her, telling her to get her hands off him and that he hadn't done anything wrong. Shanklin can be heard saying, "Don't push me.''

The words in the video are difficult to make out. Shanklin said he doesn't remember if he said the "n-word'' to his friends during the confrontation, but clearly recalls the officer using it.

The recording does capture one officer, Hall, saying it. Shanklin responds, "You ain't supposed to say that (expletive),'' and Hall replies, "But you said it to me.''

"For a police officer to say it to me was disrespectful,'' Shanklin said. "He was in full uniform, in front of a mass of people, in front of his peer. It was way out of line. That should not be tolerated at all.''

Talic, whoit's the police that's kind of attacking you, who do you call now? It felt like we were helpless,'' he said.

The night of the confrontation, Talic and his friends walked away and went to another bar.

"That spoiled our night,'' said Shanklin, who is studying finance at Portland State University.

Hall, hired in July 2011, works the night shift at Central Precinct. He didn't immediately return a telephone message.

The Police Bureau's directive on courtesy says no member should use epithets or terms that denigrate any gender, race, nationality, sexual orientation, ethnic or religious group, "except when necessary to quote another person in reports or in testimony.''

Constantin Severe, director of the city's Independent Police Review Division, said Tuesday that his office hadn't received any formal complaint about the video, but will

Elon Musk had himself a day Thursday. For the first time in history, his company launched a fully reusable first stage of an orbital rocket. Then, for good measure, SpaceX landed that rocket for a second time on a drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean. Finally—because why not, when you're on a roll—he attempted to safely return the $6 million payload fairing at the top of the rocket. Even that met with at least partial success. "This is a huge day," he commented later. "My mind's blown, frankly."

Many minds were blown on Thursday as the 10-story tall first stage launched for the second time, hefting a 4,300kg payload on its way to a geostationary orbit about 36,000km above the Earth, and then returning to the planet. Blue Originhas done this with the much smaller, suborbital New Shepard rocket. NASA's space shuttle was mostly reusable—but also the product of a multibillion government program. On Thursday a private company, having invested more than $1 billion of its own funds, reused a large, complicated rocket.

Thursday, Musk clearly felt he had finally pushed spaceflight across the rubicon of reusable rocketry, and permanently changed the aerospace industry, and he said he is now confident the company can reach its goal of 24-hour reusability. "So it has been 15 years to get to this point, it took us a long time," he said. "A lot of difficult steps along the way. This is going to be ultimately a huge revolution in spaceflight."

The dawn of commercial space

For some in the aerospace industry,


such talk does not seem hyperbole. Bobby Braun, who served as NASA's first chief technologist and now serves as dean of the College of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Colorado-Boulder, said the achievement ranks high in the annals of aviation and aerospace feats. "I think that 50 years from now we'll look back on this day and that's say where commercial space travel began," he said.

Braun compared Thursday's reflight of the Falcon 9 rocket to the commercial debut of Boeing's 707 aircraft. This plane, a gamble by Boeing to translate its success as World War II aviation contractor into private air travel, made its first commercial flight from New York to Paris in October 1958. Within a decade air travel exploded in popularity across thecountry, as metro areas built airport terminals, runways, baggage handling services, and more elements of modern commercial aviation. Reusable rockets have the potential to fulfill the same role for space transportation, Braun said.

While he did not dismiss the achievements of Blue Origin during the last 18 months, when the company flew the same booster five times for short, suborbital flights, Braun said SpaceX's achievement surpasses that in a significant way. A rocket launching an orbital payload, like the Falcon 9 first stage, produces about 10 times as much energy, which has to be reversed during the return to Earth. That requires technologies such as supersonic retropropulsion, the firing of the rocket's engines in an opposite direction at speeds greater than sound. The feasibility of such a technology had


been theoretical before SpaceX came along and made it practical.

Competition

SpaceX, of course, has become a competitor to Boeing in the aerospace industry. Until recently, the major players in aerospace had looked askance at SpaceX, its big-talking chief executive, and the company's sky high ambitions. Now, the company has not only landed eight boosters that have flown to space, it has launched one—and is promising to do the same five or six more times just this year. Reflying the first stage alone saves about 70 percent of the cost of a rocket launch. And the company has plans to eventually recycle its payload fairing and second stages, as well.

"I think, hopefully, this will inform the decisions of other space organizations," Musk said Thursday night, during a news conference. "ReusabilityNo. 101-228, at 12-13, 1990 U.S.C.C.A.N. at 3398-99.

D. Clark County's New Source Review Program Revisions

18
At the time of enactment of the 1990 Amendments, Clark County's new source review program consisted of rules that were last approved by the EPA in 1981. 46 Fed. Reg. 21,758 (Apr. 14, 1981). The revised new source review program at issue here was approved by the EPA on May 11, 1999. 64 Fed. Reg. 25,210 (May 11, 1999).

19
Parts of Clark County, including the Las Vegas Valley, have been in nonattainment for particulate matter and carbon monoxide from the time of the EPA's approval of the 1981 Rules to, as far as the record shows,


the present.4 The 1990 Amendments required Clark County to submit revisions to its new source review program by November 1992. Clark County missed this deadline. But, from 1993 until submission to the EPA in 1999, Clark County engaged in an involved process of revising its new source review program. During this period, Clark County received substantial input from the EPA, the regulated community, and the public.

E. Hall's Petition for Review

20
Hall timely filed this pro se petition for review. After initial briefing, we asked the EPA and Hall to submit supplemental briefs addressing the nature and scope of the EPA's SIP review responsibility under CAA  110(l). We also directed the EPA to identify any parts of the record that demonstrate that the EPA considered whether the revised newemission modifications." Train, 421 U.S. at 93. Rather, the EPA claims a necessary statutory equivalence between non-relaxation of rules approved in 1981 and non-interference with current attainment    requirements. The EPA's application of the "no relaxation" rule in this case cannot be squared with the Act.11

46
When, in 1981, the EPA approved Clark County's new source review program, it necessarily determined that the 1981 new source review rules, in conjunction with other components of Clark County's implementation plan, would attain NAAQS for all criteria pollutants by the 1982 and 1987 deadlines that were then in effect. See SIP Preamble for 1977 Amendments, 44 Fed. Reg. at 20373. Yet, during the time those 1981 Rules were in place, the Las Vegas Valley and other parts of Clark County


have remained in nonattainment for carbon monoxide and particulate matter.

47
The EPA's approach effectively makes the emissions reductions achieved under those same 1981 Rules the baseline for determining "non-interference" with the Act's current attainment requirements. As the EPA explained, it determined that rules that did not "exacerbate the existing situation" necessarily would not "interfere" with attainment. The EPA employs a false baseline. The Act, as amended in 1990, sets new deadlines for attainment and establishes other new requirements for incremental progress towards attainment. Those current attainment requirements are the baseline from which "non-interference" is to be measured. And, given the past failure of Clark County to achieve attainment under the 1981 Rules, there is no necessary correlation between maintaining the stringency of the 1981 Rules and meeting the post-1990APA requires that an agency engaging in informal rulemaking provide public notice of "either the terms or substance of the proposed rule or a description of the subjects and issues involved." 5 U.S.C.  553(b)(3).

56
Clark County held at least four public hearings to consider the new source review revisions. Prior to the last three hearings, the County placed notices in local newspapers. Those notices briefly described the subject of the rules at issue and the proposed changes. The notices also instructed interested members of the public to call a designated telephone number to receive proposed amendments by mail. In    addition, the EPA, in its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking of July 28, 1995, described the nature of the rule revisions at issue and the deficiencies that


case provided a meaningful opportunity to comment.

58
2. Continued revision after the EPA's proposed rule-making

59
On July 28, 1995, the EPA published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, in which the EPA identified a number of" deficiencies that must be corrected" and proposed to approve Clark County's new source review program "contingent upon Clark County correcting existing deficiencies in its[new source review] ... submittal before EPA promulgates a final rulemaking on this submittal." The EPA characterized its action as a "proposal to approve, with disapproval in the alternative.    " Between the date of this conditional approval and the EPA's final approval of the revised new source review program, Clark County accepted substantial further comment from the public and suggestions from the EPA and made further revisions to therevised program based on those comments and suggestions.

60
Hall asserts that it was improper for the EPA to issue a proposed "conditional" approval of Clark County's revisions in 1995. He further complains that, after the EPA's proposed "conditional" approval, it was impermissible for Clark County to accept further suggestions for change from the EPA. Hall's objections on both counts appear to be premised on his contention that he was deprived of an opportunity to review the final product--the final revised new source review program accepted by the EPA--and offer his comments on that final product. Indeed, Hall suggests that "public notice and hearing" was required "after all changes or amendments were complete."

61
The short answer to Hall's contention is that the EPA did not have an obligation to seek comments

In 1948, respondent was directed by appellant to appear at a hearing and show cause why its permit should not be revised because of its failure to conduct its common-carrier business in the state of Washington in accordance with its permit authority. The complaint made against respondent was that it was not furnishing service to patrons desiring to ship what was generally understood to fall within the ordinary meaning of "general freight" but was limiting its service to the hauling of heavy machinery and equipment and building materials consisting of


only two classes of commodities, one being steel storage tanks, power cranes, and tractors, and the other being building materials consisting of lumber only. Respondent had not qualified itself to do business in the state of Washington. Although respondent had a soliciting agent in Seattle, none of the thirty-four shipments representing respondent's Washington business were originated by such agent during the aforesaid period. The contemplated plan to establish a terminal in the state of Washington was still in the same stage as it was in 1948. Respondent had claimed that it was listed in the Vancouver, Washington, telephone directory, but this was found to be untrue; and it was further found that respondent had not affirmatively held itself out to do business as a hauler of general freightthe motor laws of this state or of the United States, or the permittee has made unlawful rebates or has not conducted his operation in accordance with the permit granted him.

"Climb into my lungs/ There you'll find smoke rings like tree trunks," sings Chrisy Hurn, songwriter and guitarist of Ontario trio Basement Revolver, sweetly on their wistful new single "Tree Trunks." Lush with dulcet reverb, the song, which is from the group's forthcoming Agatha EP, out July 21 on Yellow K Records (U.S.) and fear of missing out records (U.K.), parallels the health of the mind and the heart with the earth — "this sacred land" needs caring for, Hurn implores.

"While the company has indicated that they would not allow us to stage a dharna inside the premises, the government and police would not allow us to sit outside the gates in the Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation's (GIDC) estate.

Company sources, however, indicated that there were no plans to not allow the workers to enter the premises on Friday.

In the midst of rising tension, the workers had


gone to meet the deputy labour commissioner of Ahmedabad zone V V Pandya in his office on Thursday. Representatives of the company, including the human resources head of the site, were present during the meeting which went on for more than an hour inside Pandya's office.

Emerging out of the meeting, the workers (seven members) claimed that no consensus has been reached. The company has not agreed to re-instate the suspended workers (nearly 28 have been suspended in phases), and the workers claimed they would resume work only when their colleagues are taken back.

Interestingly, the seven workers were actively guided by a rank outsider who was present at the location. Not dressed in a uniform, the person who identified himself as Vijay Panchal, admitted that he was not anform an union at the site, and its recent actions are attempts to thwart the unionisation of the workers.

Company sources maintained that the other sites of Tata Motors have unions, and there was no reason to not allow one at Sanand.

Production at Sanand, however, has been far below the capacity at all times. Nearly 42,561 Nano cars were produced from January 2014 to December 2015, against an installed capacity of 250,000 cars per annum.

However, the company has started making preparations to roll out its latest hatchback from Sanand, the newly renamed Tiago.

The situation outside the factory gates was uncannily 'normal', with no trace of sloganeering, or anything which hinted at an ongoing tiff between the workers and the management. One could only see buses strategically parked inside the


main gate of the site, and locals indicated that the 'agitating' workers were barred from public view by the buses. These workers were commuting to the site in company buses (as many as seventy buses ply everyday from different parts of the city to Sanand), and after their shifts, they were dropped back home.

They, however, have not reported to work since Monday, and while the company claimed that production at the site was hardly affected, the workers claimed that practically no production was happening at the site as almost the entire group of permanent workers refrained from work. There are nearly 2,200 employees at the site, which includes apprentices, and trainees from the Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs)

The company seems to be actively working on a Plan B toshut down their plant. This would put the livelihood of almost 7,000 people at stake; 2,000 odd at the Tata plant and nearly 5,000 at the vendor park; which essentially means at least 35,000 people(counting their families) without a stable income," the official warned.

In fact, in its press statement on Thursday, Tata Motors has indicated, "the company will explore all possible options to continue its operations, peacefully and unhindered, if this illegal strike continues."

Company sources, however, indicated that they expected the situation to return to normalcy soon, as most workers who are staging a 'sit-in' at the site are actually willing to join back work. As the company continues to engage with the workers, they hope to convince them to resume work, however, they continue to remain firm


Exosquad

Exosquad was a 1993–94 animated television series produced by Will Meugniot and Universal Cartoon Studios. Created as a response to Japanese anime and set in the beginning of the 22nd century, the show covers the interstellar war between the humanity (Terrans) and Neosapiens, a race artificially created as slaves for humans. The narration generally follows the Able Squad, an elite Terran unit of E-frame (mecha) pilots, on their missions all over the Solar system, although other storylines are also abundant. The series ran for two complete seasons and was canceled after one third season episode had been produced.

J.T. Marsh (VO): It was a golden age for all mankind. Using the incredible exoskeletons called E-frames, we had successfully terraformed Venus and Mars, and were now poised to move onstill records the message...

Admiral Winfield (VO): Marsala was one of last rebels captured at the end of the First Neosapien War. This time, he is on our side. Marsala and Phaeton were created together, in the same brood. If they were Terrans, we'd call them "brothers".

Admiral Winfield (VO): People fly in their dreams, but what they are really dreaming about is freedom. For J.T. Marsh, flying doesn't mean freedom - but responsibility. Responsibility for the lives of the men and women in his exosquad. J.T.'s dream is that someday, the war will be over and there will be open sky again.

Admiral Winfield (VO): Cpl. Vince Pellegrino comes from a long line of soldiers. If they were still around, he'd drive them all crazy. He is undisciplined, un-military, unpredictable.


And also, a born fighter.

Admiral Winfield (VO): Graduation Day at the Exofleet Academy is the proudest moment in a young officer's life. On the day that Colleen O'Reilly graduated, the Neosapien War began. Only a few cadets from her graduating class survived to join the Exofleet. Lt. Colleen O'Reilly will never forget the ones who didn't make it.

Admiral Winfield (VO): If Exofleet supply could build troopers the way we build E-frames, Sgt. Rita Torres would be standard issue. For the soldiers as good as Torres, it's easy to forget that there is a human being inside the uniform. It's the same as to forget what's going on inside a reactor... until it explodes.

               (James S. Gilmore, III, Attorney General, on
               brief), for appellee.

        On appeal from his convictions of robbery, abduction and

assault, Charles J. Perry contends that the evidence was

insufficient to sustain the convictions.       We disagree and affirm

the trial court.

        In November, 1993, Larry Bonner, the victim, was arrested

and incarcerated in Petersburg.       He was released on bond, with

Perry acting as his bondsman.


  Bonner testified that when he arrived at Perry's house,

Perry struck him in the face several times and asked whether he

had any money.    Then, Perry and Fields both struck and kicked

Bonner.    Bonner testified, "Fields took my gold tooth out with

the pliers.    Perry busted my eardrum, with his hands . . . ."

The gold "tooth" was a gold crown that was removed from Bonner's

front tooth.
        Bonner stated he was then handcuffed to Perry's garage door

from about 1:30 a.m. until 8:00 a.m., when Fields took Bonner to

the Petersburg jail.

        Bonner testified that, as a result of the incident, his eyes

were swollen, the skin was broken onhis wrists from the

handcuffs, his ribs were sore, and his nose was bleeding.       He

also said they "messed [his] teeth up."      Henry Stewart, a

doctor's assistant at the jail, testified that, when Bonner

arrived at the jail, he had abrasions and swelling below both

eyes.    He had a red mark around both wrists, and one hand was

swollen.    Stewart said Bonner complained of tenderness on his

right side, soreness in his neck, and a swollen left cheek.

        Perry testified that he instructed Fields to bring Bonner to

his house on April 30, 1994, and that, when they arrived,

Bonner's eyes were puffy and red.       Perry said


                                 -4-
Bonner testified that, upon his arrival, Perry struck him in the

face several times and asked if he had any money.    Bonner stated

 that both Perry and Fields beat and kicked him, and that Perry

"busted his eardrum with his hands."    Bonner also testified that

"Fields took my gold tooth out with the pliers."

     Although Perry testified that he did not harm or abuse

SOMETHING SERIOUSLY TO THINK ABOUT IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON VOTING FOR HILLARY...

Do you Know the guy, pictured below, on the left is?

He is Edward "Ed" Mezvinsky, born January 17, 1937… Then you'll probably say, "Who is Ed Mezvinsky?"

Well, he is a former Democrat congressman who represented Iowa's 1st congressional district in the United States House of Representatives for two terms, from 1973 to 1977.

He sat on the House Judiciary Committee that decided the fate of Richard Nixon.

He was outspoken saying that Nixon was a crook and a disgrace to politics and the nation and should be impeached.

He and the Clintons were friends and very politically intertwined for many years.

EdMezvinsky had an affair with NBC News reporter Marjorie Sue Margolies and later married her after his wife divorced him.

In 1993, Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky, then a freshman Democrat in Congress, cast the deciding vote that got President Bill Clinton's controversial tax package through the House of Representatives.

In March 2001, Mezvinsky was indicted and later pleaded guilty to 31 of 69 counts of bank fraud, mail fraud, and wire fraud. Ed Mezvinsky embezzled more than $10 million dollars from people via both a Ponzi scheme and the notorious Nigerian e-mail scams. He was found guilty and sentenced to 80 months in federal prison. After serving less than five years in federal prison, he was released in April 2008 and remains on federal probation.

To this day, he still owes $9.4 million

The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, authored by then-Senator Joe Biden, was supported by virtually every Democrat in Congress, including then-Representative Sanders, as the largest of its kind in history. President Bill Clinton signed it into law....which lead to a mass incarceration of black Americans.

Bill Clinton presided over the largest increase in federal and state prison inmates of any president in American history.

Hillary does not deserve the black vote, what youthat it was the KKK that put him in power. Hillary and Bill were good friends of the Grand Wizard Robert Byrd of the KKK.

It truly is a Happy Thanksgiving. I thank God for answering His people's prayers.

Obama met with Putin in Peru about a week ago. Hillary bragged about meeting with Putin in his inner chamber. Remember Bill and Hillary sold Russia 20% of our uranium in their Clinton Foundation pay-to-play scheme. Who is in bed with Russia? Not Trump...Wikileaks confirmed that there is no evidence of that.

Bill and Hillary had a close relationship with KKK Robert Byrd, Hillary praised her 'Friend and Mentor', and Bill spoke very highly of the Klan member after his death. They were very close!

TAMPA — A former Hillsborough County sheriff's detective who pulled a gun on a schoolteacher during a road rage incident is poised to avoid jail time or a criminal record through a deal offered by prosecutors, the deputy's attorney said.

Thomas Pettis, 55, has been approved by the Hillsborough State Attorney's Office for its misdemeanor intervention program, according to his attorney, Norman Cannella Sr. of Tampa. As a result, a misdemeanor battery charge against him will be dropped if he completes community service with the Salvation Army, Cannella said.

The resolution is a mild one for Pettis, who initially faced potential charges of battery and aggravated assault with a firearm, the latter offense a felony punishable by at least three years in prison. It likely will stoke further questions aboutwhether Pettis, a veteran homicide detective and state witness on dozens of pending cases, has received unusually favorable treatment.

"Everyone is entitled to their opinion. However, the state attorney is the one whose opinion counts," Cannella said. "Seasoned assistant state attorneys obviously have greater insight than the average citizen, who's not steeped or learned in the criminal justice system."

Mark Cox, spokesman for Hillsborough State Attorney Mark Ober, declined to comment on what he said were ongoing plea negotiations in Pettis' case. Pettis was scheduled to be arraigned Monday in Hillsborough Circuit Court, but it was delayed until May 15, court officials said.

Evan Rees, the victim in the case, said he was stunned by the deal. Rees, a 44-year-old biology teacher from Sebring, said he has never been contacted by


match outside their cars, Pettis and Rees grappled with each other and tumbled to the ground.

After they had been pulled apart by bystanders, Pettis drew a handgun from his ankle holster and pointed it at Rees. Several witnesses said the detective threatened to kill Rees, an accusation Pettis later denied.

After reholstering his gun, Pettis moved through the crowd that had gathered along the highway and punched Rees in the head.

After reviewing the incident, the State Attorney's Office decided to charge Pettis only with misdemeanor battery, asserting that the evidence did not rebut Pettis' claim that he aimed the gun at Rees in self-defense.

On Tuesday, responding to a public records request from the Times, the State Attorney's Office released a cellphone video shot from inside a car at thecrime scene by a teenage girl whose father helped break up the fight.

The video corroborates the events first reported Sunday in the Times, after the newspaper obtained previously undisclosed investigative records of the incident. Pettis can be seen pointing a Glock pistol at Rees after the teacher is pulled off him, then holding the gun at his side for about 30 seconds. He can also be seen speaking angrily to Rees, though his words were not captured in the video.

"Oh, my God, he has a gun," one of the young witnesses in the car can be heard saying. "Tell dad to get in the car." Another says, "Call the cops!"

Pettis resigned from the Sheriff's Office shortly afterward.

DUBLIN (Reuters) - When Britain voted to leave the European Union, few voters outside Northern Ireland thought about what it would mean for the British province.

Three years on, Northern Ireland is inching closer to holding a referendum of its own -- on reunification with Ireland.

A united Ireland, and Northern Ireland’s withdrawal from the United Kingdom, remain distant prospects, and a unity referendum may not happen soon. But, as an unexpected consequence of Brexit, the political landscape is shifting.

The two largest parties in the Irish republic, Fine Gael and Fianna Fail, both ofhas not yet been set. Ireland, which won independence from Britain a century ago and joined the EU in 1973, will remain in the bloc as its most committed member, according to recent polling.

Opinion polls in Northern Ireland have for many years shown insufficient support for reunification, but politicians and political analysts point to a growing number of factors that could push public sentiment in the direction of reunification.

The first is the possibility that Brexit will lead to a “hard border” between Northern Ireland and Ireland, meaning the re-emergence of checks on goods and a potential a risk to two decades of delicate peace in the province -- a prospect that alarms many people both north and south of the border.

Another is the economic and political situation. Recent


the two dominant political forces south of the border have avoided direct participation in politics north of the border because of fears that the nationalist vote could be fragmented.

“The Fianna Fail policy partnership with the SDLP is one response to some of the challenges that Brexit raises,” Durkan, 58, said.

Explaining that he saw no competition between the approaches to SDLP voters from two different Irish parties, he said: “Fine Gael’s invitation to me is a different, but not rival, response.”

Northern Ireland’s largest Irish nationalist party, Sinn Fein, which is also the only major party represented in the parliaments in Belfast and Dublin, is already demanding a referendum on Irish reunification, echoing calls by the Scottish National Party for another referendum on Scotland’s independence from the United Kingdom followingthat last long after the storm has cleared.

Why I love it

The gorgeous, atmospheric writing is not to be missed, with the third person present tense writing working well to immerse the reader into the story. Everything about Storm Season worked for me—the romance, the characters and their respective arcs, the way the author writes friendship, and the sex writing are all perfect.

6 Bitterroot Queen by Jove Belle

Published by Dirt Road Books

This book is a: contemporary drama about finding life in a new place

What it’s about

When Sam Marconi packs up her home and leaves Las Vegas behind her, she pictures an idyllic life waiting for her and her daughter, Beth, in Bitterroot, Idaho. After saving for years, Sam finally has enough


to chase her dream of owning and operating a small roadside motel. When she arrives, she finds her new business in a derelict state that makes Sam second guess her decision to move.

For Olly Jones, home has always been in the stretch of road between houses. As a child, her parents raised her to embrace a nomadic life, a practice she continues as an adult. Unlike her parents, Olly doesn’t view the movement as her birthright. She feels an inexplicable, irrepressible tug pulling her ever forward, searching for…something. She trusts she’ll know it when she finds it.

Sam and Olly’s first meeting is explosive with accusations of trespass and vandalism, backed up by mace. But when Sam puts up a flyer seeking skilled labor at an unskilled labor price,the effects they can have

What it’s about

Three women, united by love and kinship, struggle to conform to the social norms of the times in which they lived.

In 1931, Katherine Henderson leaves behind her small town in Kansas and the marriage proposal of a local boy to live on her own and work at the Sears & Roebuck glove counter in Chicago. There she meets Annie—a bold, outspoken feminist who challenges Katherine’s idea of who she thinks she is and what she thinks she wants in life.

In 1997, Katherine’s daughter, Joan, travels to Lawrence, Kansas, to clean out her estranged mother’s house. Hidden away in an old suitcase, she finds a wooden box containing trinkets and a packet of sealed letters to a person identified only by a first


was happening here-and-now. Working out the true prior probability or independent likeliness of claims of conspiracy being in amongst the pool of credible explanatory hypotheses will be, of course, difficult. However, it is fair to say that people either underestimate or underplay both historical and contemporary accounts of events which cite conspiracies as salient causes. Take, for example, the extraordinary death of Alexander Litvinenko. He was poisoned with the rare, expensive and highly radioactive radionuclide, polonium30 210. Litvinenko, a former Russian Federal Security Bureau (FSB) agent, was living in exile in London at the time of his death, and was a vocal detractor of Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin. On November 1st, 2001, he met with two of his former FSB colleagues, and one of them surreptitiously slippedthe polonium-210 into Litvinenko's teapot. Litvinenko's death was long and protracted, and so it looked as if he had been poisoned in a truly unusual way – Polonium-210 is prohibitively expensive to buy18, and very difficult to refine – in order to send a message. The way in which Litvinenko was killed looked very much like an assassination, and given that there were easier and faster – and certainly cheaper – ways to dispose of Litvinenko, his death had all the hallmarks of being a state-sponsored hit. So, given what we know about the death of Alexander Litvinenko, it seems certain that his death was the result of a conspiracy; his death had to be plotted by agents who acted in secret. Any account of the death of


Voyage of the Damned

Voyage of the Damned is a 1976 drama film directed by Stuart Rosenberg, with an all-star cast featuring Faye Dunaway, Oskar Werner, Lee Grant, Max von Sydow, James Mason, and Malcolm McDowell.

The story was inspired by true events concerning the fate of the ocean liner  carrying Jewish refugees from Germany to Cuba in 1939. It was based on a 1974 book written by Gordon Thomas and Max Morgan-Witts with the same title. The screenplay was written by David Butler and Steve Shagan.  The film was produced by ITC Entertainment and released by Avco Embassy Pictures.

Plot
Based on historic events, this dramatic film concerns the 1939 voyage of , which departed from Hamburg carrying 937 Jews from Germany, ostensibly bound for Havana, Cuba. TheBlankal Early Origins

The surname Blankal was first found in Lincolnshire where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor. The Saxon influence of English history diminished after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The language of the courts was French for the next three centuries and the Norman ambience prevailed. But Saxon surnames survived and the family name was first referenced in the year 1202 when Simon de Blanckenay held estates in that shire.

Blankal Spelling Variations

Blankal Spelling Variations

It is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, early Anglo-Saxon surnames like Blankal are characterized by many spelling variations. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages, even literate people changed the spelling of


their names. Scribes and monks in the Middle Ages spelled names they sounded, so it is common to find several variations that refer to a single person. The variations of the name Blankal include: Blankley, Blankeney, Blankney, Blankal, Blankele and others.

The Great Migration

The Great Migration

Many English families tiredof political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks. Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Blankal or a variant listed above: settlers, who arrived along the eastern seaboard, from Newfoundland, to Maine, to Virginia, the Carolinas, and to the islands.

The Blankal Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com


forget, however, that behind it lay a spectrum of conviction, belief and interpretation.

Students beginning their study of the ‘pantheon’ or members of Roman gods, will often start with Jupiter, Juno and Minerva (the Capitoline Triad). Jupiter, the king of the gods was often given the epithet Optimus Maximus (‘best and greatest’). Juno was his consort, and a protector of the state. Minerva was the goddess of wisdom and the arts. This Capitoline Triad enjoyed a special place in the rituals of the Roman state.

Other principal Roman gods include Mars (discussed above), Venus (goddess of love and fertility), Diana (goddess of the hunt and the moon), Neptune (god of the sea) and Mercury (god of commerce and trade). These principal gods were accompanied by many others, much less wellknown.

Minor gods had specific functions: there was a deity for everything in the Roman world, from shepherds to infant mortality, from beekeeping to woodlands. Many of these lesser gods were worshipped principally in Rome itself, but some of the principal gods, including Mars and Mercury, were worshipped across the Empire. In the provinces, they were often twinned with indigenous (local) deities. On Hadrian’s Wall, for example, Jupiter and Mars were sometimes paired with other gods.

As we shall see, as the Empire expanded, many ‘local’ gods were incorporated into the belief systems, and some (particularly those from the Near East) came to be worshipped across a wide area. Deities in this group include Mithras and Sol Invictus. This was a great strength of polytheism, new gods could readily be


incorporated into existing beliefs.

Finally semi-divine beings were also widely worshipped. These were the offspring of gods and their human lovers. Hercules (son of Jupiter or his Greek equivalent, Zeus, and a mortal mother) is a well-known example.

Partly linked to this belief that gods and mortals could unite is another significant development in the rituals and beliefs of empire. Of great importance was the cult or cults of the Emperor, whose authority came from the gods. This divine sanction was recognised via the Imperial Cult, first seen in the reign of Augustus. The numen (spirit) of the Emperor was often worshipped too. As we will see, whilst many emperors were divinized, some had their memory obliterated (damnatio memoriae) when they died.

J.R. Celski of United States races against Si-Bak Sung of South Korea in the men's 1500m men's short track on Day 2 of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.

Skating hasn’t always been smooth for J.R. Celski.

At the Olympic Trials for short track speedskating in 2009, he was involved in a crash in which his left thigh was deeply slashed by his right skate, leaving his status in doubt for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.

Then last December, he broke an ankle in a pileup while racing in Japan and had to take about six weeks off before getting back on his blades.

But just as he did after that first injury, Celski, 22, has come back strong.

At the Vancouver Winter Games, five months after suffering a six-inch long


gash that required 60 stitches, he captured a bronze medal in the 1,500 meters and another bronze in the 5,000-meter relay.

Now, two stops into this season’s World Cup schedule, Celski already has earned four medals and a world record.

Racing in the first World Cup event in Calgary in mid-October, Celski broke the 40-second barrier in the 500 meters, taking gold with a time of 39.973. He also earned a bronze in the 1,000m.

A week later at Montreal, Celski earned the silver medal in the 1,500 and added a bronze as part of the 5,000-meter relay team.

Becoming the first skater to break 40 seconds in the 500 was an unexpected but thrilling accomplishment, he said. The 500 is a race he rarely enters. He prefers the longer distances.

“I reallytrack toward his goal of making the U.S. team for next Winter Games in Sochi in 2014.

After competing in Vancouver, Celski took a season off to work on a film, “The Otherside,” a documentary about the hip-hop scene in Seattle (which is scheduled to make its debut at several film festivals in 2013). He then came back to his sport reinvigorated and intent on competing in Sochi. The injury last year set him back, but now he’s off and running.

The kid who grew up in Federal Way, Wash., switched to short track speedskating from inline skating and has won nine World Championship medals (including two golds), is hungry for more.

Delorean’s development of the 1964 GTO, for angry young people as well), Buicks and Oldsmobiles for doctors and successful businessmen, and Cadillacs at the very top, for the most successful men in the land. Yes, I said “men”, because this story happened in the time before Nicky Hilton showed that women could run a business just as well as men could.

With that new “E28” model, BMW would soon write a success story of its own, one which would end with the death of Fake Luxury and the introduction of Rich Corinthian Swaybars – and that, my friends, is a tale for another time.

In this connection, it is well known in the art that in conventional radiography in which an intensifying screen is used in combination with an X-ray film, the sharpness of the image obtained depends upon the degree of spread of the spontaneous light emitted by the phosphor in the intensifying screen. In contrast to this, in the above-mentioned method for recording and reproducing a radiation image utilizing the stimulability of a stimulable phosphor, the sharpness of the image obtained does not depend upon the degree of spread of the light emitted by the stimulable phosphor in the panel, but depends upon the degree of spread of the stimulating rays in the panel.is reduced, a radiation image storage panel colored with a colorant was invented and an application for patent on the panel was filed (see U.S. Pat. No. 4,394,581). The radiation image storage panel disclosed in the application has a fluorescent layer comprising a binder and a stimulable phosphor dispersed therein and is characterized by being colored with a colorant so that the mean reflectance of the panel in the wavelength region of the stimulating rays for the stimulable phosphor is lower than the mean reflectance of the panel in the wavelength region of the light emitted by the stimulable phosphor upon stimulation thereof. In the radiation image storage panel, the spread of the stimulating rays in the panel can be controlled by the absorption of the stimulating rays

Are there any plans for a new Babylon 5 series or movies?

I loved the series and all the movies, and I even watched 'Crusade' which was awesome.  But it's been a while since I've heard of any new Babylon 5 movies.  On the other hand, the series creator Michael Straczynski may have some additional clout from receiving a BAFTA award nomination for the script of Changeling and after writing the script for the blockbusterThor.
Are there any plans for new Straczynski-driven Babylon 5 works?

A:

It appears that there are no current plans to continue:

On July 13, 2008, Straczynski revealed that he had no plans to continue The Lost Tales. He said that although the studio was interested in another disc, they wanted to budget the next installment


Uttarakhand Education Minister Arvind Pandey humiliated a teacher during his visit to a government school

Highlights Uttarakhand Education Minister humiliated teacher "basic" math questions

Even after the minister got an answer wrong, he stood his ground

Government teacher associations expressed anger at the minister's conduct

A surprise visit by Uttarakhand Education Minister Arvind Pandey to a government school turned out to be a humiliating experience for a class 8 school teacher who was pulled up by the minister in front of her class this week. The minister then took it upon himself to ask the teacher a few "basic" questions. Somewhere along the way, he turned rules of arithmetic on its head.Sample this: He wanted to know how much would two negative signs add up to. "Minus plus minus is plus," hetold the bewildered teacher. Next, he asked her how much would minus one and minus one (-1) + (-1) add up to. The correct answer is -2. The education minister declared, in front of a video camera that had accompanied him on the inspection, that the answer is zero and stood his ground.This was on Monday.As word, and video footage of the 45-year-old minister visit got out, there was outrage at his behaviour with the school teacher and his understanding of basic mathematics.The minister, who had defended himself on the first day and blamed the teacher for using a guidebook and not the prescribed textbook, went into damage-control mode the next day. On his Facebook page, the minister put out a video of another school inspection. In this


one, the minister who had been criticised for being brusque with the teacher on Monday, appeared to be at his best behaviour.But government teachers weren't impressed.On Thursday, associations of government teachers in several towns of Uttarakhand hit the streets to demand that the minister apologise. "The way he spoke... it was an insult to the entire teaching community," a teacher at a protest in capital Dehradun told NDTV.

The Congress, which had been wiped out in the February assembly elections, also jumped in. Alluding to the many criminal cases that the minister faces, Lalit Joshi of the Congress said if one were to review his antecedents, it would be clear that he shouldn't be where he is, but somewhere else.Late on Thursday, the education minister put out another messagebut later changed its plans.

MIRA has also evinced interest in acquiring the renewable energy business of crisis-hit Infrastructure Leasing and Financial Services (IL&FS) where other potential investors include ReNew Power Ventures Pvt. Ltd, GAIL (India) Pvt. Ltd, and Solar Energy Corp of India Ltd.

e It was not long before Wilde sought out Swinburne's acquaintance. His copy of _Studies in Song_ (1880) is inscribed:

To Oscar Wilde from Algernon Ch. Swinburne.
Amitié et remerciements.

# CHAPTER II

# _Wilde at Oxford_

LADY BRACKNELL: _Untruthful! My nephew Algernon? Impossible! He is an Oxonian._

## _First Truancies_

For Irishmen, Oxford is to the mind what Paris is to the body. Wilde was as receptive as anyone to this fabled equation.the theatre to hear some Tyrolese yodelers, and their party, spread over two adjoining boxes, indulged in a 'grand ballyrag, hats and umbrellas playing a not inconsiderable part.' Wilde climbed into Bodley's box to say that his brother Willie had come on a visit, and as soon as the performance had ended Willie and Oscar, Bodley, and the rest mounted the proscenium and Willie strummed a Strauss waltz on the piano. Ejected by stagehands, they gathered up the yodelers and took off to the Mitre for more singing. Wilde lent his monotone. That their gambols affected their studies is indicated by the fact that Childers, instead of taking his first as Bodley had wagered, had to accept rustication from January to the end of the summer. Bodley tried


was starving upon 'a radish and a crust, the stoic's fare.' Wilde talked about Donoghue in this style to such purpose that commissions poured in to the artist, and Donoghue was able to move to Paris and set up a studio there. When his benefactor needed help later, however, Donoghue did not offer any.

Wilde lent his efforts to further other careers. He had an etching done in New York by James Edward Kelly, which showed him holding the hand of a young boy, possibly Kelly's son. He wisely used the head alone in publicity notices. In April he sat for a portrait by Theodore Wores in San Francisco. On 2 May he praised Frank Duveneck as America's finest painter. He bought a water color of the seashore fromshort, 'It was a poisonous book.' Wilde drank of it as a chaser after the love potions of matrimony.

Part of the book's attraction was the author's reserved attitude. Huysmans could not be said to endorse his hero, for each chapter was a little parable of spent passion for books, perfumes, jewels, or sexual pleasures. While each burst of energy is deflated, and Huysmans withholds sympathy, the sense of the hero's _jusqu'au-boutisme_ almost redeems the absurdity and prevents his being altogether discredited. Certain sections had a staggering effect upon Wilde. One was Huysmans's description of Gustave Moreau's paintings of _Salome_ , another the description of English Pre-Raphaelite paintings as evoking not the month of April, as Wilde had said in America, but of October. The art which Wilde had


by the 1898 Prison Act. Already in 1895, however, when he began his term, a departmental committee under the chairmanship of H. J. Gladstone declared two years' hard labor to be an excessively severe sentence, and the 1898 law specifically abolished it. Gladstone's report said that prisoners should no longer be treated 'as a hopeless and worthless element of the community.' This shift in opinion had its effect, even in Reading.

The case of Wilde was not easily forgotten in the wave of reform. His old sponsor, Haldane, continued to urge the Home Office to provide him with more books and with writing materials, but the Home Office did not want to be accused of preferential treatment. Still, there was a new chairman of the Prison Commission since 1895,him and driving him out of various hotels. Bosie wrote to his sister Edith's husband declaring that he felt nothing but kindness and affection for his father and regretted the feverish letter he had written. This letter was shown to the Marquess, who may well have felt that there was too much bad blood to mop up; he made no comment.

Wilde had his own black days to record. First there was Beardsley, dead at twenty-five on 16 March 1898. Wilde, shocked, wrote to Smithers, 'there is something macabre and tragic in the fact that one who added another terror to life should have died at the age of a flower.' The next death was his brother Willie, on 13 March 1899, the news of which reached Wilde in

BIRMINGHAM, AL (WBRC) -

Alabama head coach Nick Saban seemed just about pleased with everything that happened in Saturday's game against Tennessee. The Tide won a lopsided victory with a score of 45-10.

"I know I'm really happy. I know our players are really happy. I hope our fans are happy," said Saban as he began the postgame


news conference. "I certainly appreciate our fans today. They stayed for the game and did a great job of supporting our team. It was a great atmosphere for our players to play in."

As for the game itself, Saban says he was most pleased with how the Crimson Tide played in the first half. Alabama was able to put 5 unanswered touchdowns on the board before halftime with the last touchdown being an interception returned 89 yards by Landon Collins.

"I've been really pleased with how our guys came out and played in the last four games. We got off to a really good start. Played physical. Played with a lot of toughness," said Saban.

The coach took some time to praise the work at Tennessee.

BASIC FACTS

        In July 2011, water flooded property owned by Holiday Park after rain events. In March
2013, Holiday Park sued the City on the grounds that the City’s sewage disposal system had a
defect that was a substantial proximate cause of the flooding and property damage.

1
    The other defendants were dismissed from the case and are not parties to this appeal.


in 2011 was Holiday
Park’s inadequately sized private storm sewer system, combined to a lesser extend with
surcharged conditions produced by the unprecedented storm events. The surcharged conditions
downstream of the site, VandenBrink stated, caused high water levels resulting in overflows into
the subject property.

        Holiday Park’s expert, Thomas Deneau, who is a licensed professional engineer, testified
at his deposition that there was a defect in the condition of the City’s open drain behind the
property—namely, that the drain could have been blocked by debris. However, he did not know
for a fact that pallets or other debris were actually in the drain on the days at issue, let alone that
the debris caused plugging. He acknowledged that his assumption about pallets being in the
drain at the time ofsubject property as a result of the July 2011 flood.
He further stated that the size of the pipes that are part of Holiday Park’s onsite drainage system
and the size of the sump pumps were irrelevant to the flooding at issue. Based on these opinions,
Holiday Park argues that its onsite drainage system was not more than 50 percent the cause of
the flooding. But Deneau admitted that he had not assessed the onsite drainage system and sump
pumps and repeatedly stated that he did not know when asked about the specific capabilities of
the onsite system. Thus, his opinion was mere conjecture and did not establish that Holiday
Park’s onsite drainage system was not a substantial proximate cause of the flooding. Id. Even
assuming that his testimony established that the onsite system was not

There are an estimated 700 South Sudanese refugees in Israel, including less than 100 in Eilat. On Sunday, the Israeli immigration authorities began arresting South Sudanese migrants in preparation for deporting them from the country. According to the Israeli press, eight people have been arrested in Eilat and central Israel so far. Until earlier this year, the South Sudanese were given unofficial group protection in Israel, which entitled them to remain in the country and protected them against detention. But the Israeli government argued that since SouthEve, a notoriously slow day for moviegoers, though Sunday should be able to more than make up for it as we begin one of the busiest movie weeks of the year.

Rated PG-13Tagline: “Kids bring everyone closer, right?”Plot Summary: Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) and his wife Pam (Teri Polo) now have six-year-old twins and they’re worried about their son Henry (Colin Baiocchi) falling well behind their daughter Sam (Daisy Tahan) in terms of development. When Greg’s father-in-law Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro) comes to visit, Greg needs to step up his game to prove he can be the head of the household after Jack is gone. At the same time, Greg is being courted by alike Predators and The A-Team and last week’s TRON: Legacy. With that in mind, it might seem strange to some that Joel and Ethan Coen, two of the most distinctive and innovative filmmakers in America, would decide to make a movie with the same title as one of the most well-known Westerns out there, the original movie starring no less than John Wayne. While the Coens have gone back to the original book to readapt it, this is essentially their second remake following the 2003 comedy The Ladykillers starring Tom Hanks, which did decently but lost the Coens a bit of respect among cinephiles. They then disappeared for a few years and returned with their adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s No Country for Old Men, which became their highest

Mike Leigh’s new movie Another Year (Sony Pictures Classics) stars Jim Broadbent and Ruth Sheen as happily-married couple Tom and Gerri, following a year in their life as they try to placate Gerri’s co-worker and friend Mary (Lesley Manville) who frequently visits them and unburdens her problems on them. It opens on Wednesday, December 29, in select cities.

Another Yearis an odd follow-up to Mike Leighs Happy Go Lucky in that its another modern-day story about everyday people, and it could very well be his take on Seinfeld because the film is mainly made up of people sitting around talking about nothing. The film revolves around Jim Broadbent and Ruth Sheen as a happily married couple, Tom and Gerri, and the satellite characters around them from their son Joe to their long-time friends Mary and Ken.

The opening scene of a depressed woman, played by Imelda Staunton, talking to a counselor is a sign of the dour things to come, and that scene may have been more effective if it had any relation to the rest of the movie. From there, we meet Tom and Gerri and their


circle of friends and clearly the one that immediately pops out is Lesley Manville as Gerris co-worker Mary. At times, shes as upbeat as Poppy in Happy Go Lucky, the next moment, shes absolutely miserable. She also has an awkward attraction to the couples grown-up son Joe; Toms out-of-shape Ken in turn is attracted to Mary.

Another Year isnt fully a drama or a comedy, and its hard really to find much of a plot in it regardless of what it is. Even more than some of Leighs other films, it essentially coasts along on the interaction of the characters, but it doesnt feel like one of Leighs better screenplays in terms of the dialogue, which involves a lot of puns and joking around, some of it feeling awkwardlyan actress to be able to switch gears so effortlessly, but it does seem unnatural and it makes her less likeable as well. Its much easier to like Tom and Gerri, though they do end up throwing Mary under the bus when she needs them most, Gerri wiping her hands of Mary due to her negative comments about Joes girlfriend.

This last segment is almost a short film in itself, as the family travels North for the funeral of Toms brothers wife. Dave Bradley brings a lot to the role of Toms brother Ronnie, and his son Carl bringing some much needed excitement to the mix; when Ronnie and Mary come together, its one of the more touching moments before were pulled even deeper into Marys depression as the

...it's people like that who make you realize how little you've accomplished. It is a sobering thought, for example, that when Mozart was my age he had been dead for two years.

The other day a friend sent me a link to say that an old acquaintance of ours, Constantine Gonticas, was now in day-to-day charge of Millwall Football Club. I was surprised and unsurprised. Surprised and unsurprised and interested, not least because until a couple of weeks before, I was living in Millwall country. I was lodging in East Dulwich, where if you saw a football shirt (and although East Dulwich is not Dulwich Village, that wasn't very often) it was likely to be a Millwall top. The Southwark Newsabout it often.

But he was, as I say, a football man. He supported Manchester United before it was unpopular to do so, though to my knowledge he had never been there and in all probability had only the sketchiest of ideas as to where Manchester was, none of the major public schools being located in that city. (He also, as I recall, had only the sketchiest idea as to who Dave Bennett was when that player scored in the 1987 Cup Final. Con, watching on television, attributed the goal to Cyrille Regis, a player who resembled Dave Bennett only in wearing a Coventry shirt and being black.) He had a much more highly developed opinion (though one as woefully ill-informed) of his own abilities as a footballer, believing
