Wednesday 5 June until Saturday 8 June 7.30pm
SMP present Much Ado About Nothing
Bury Lodge Park, Bury Street West, N9 9LA
We're very pleased to announce that our show for 2019 will be another first for SMP as we will stage an ambitious promenade performance through Bury Lodge Park of one of Shakespeares most popular plays, Much Ado About Nothing.
What's a promenade performance? We hear you ask. Well, we'll tell you;
We plan to produce an immersive, intimate and personal performance. As our audience arrive they become part of the ensemble and as the story flows they move through the park as one of Leonato's, our play's hosts, guests.
Our production will be unique to each audience member as they choose how they view the performance. The show will be free flowing, natural and organic with little or no barrier between cast and audience instead of a traditional audience and cast divide.
There will be no fourth wall, the audience will be guided toward the action, some of which will take part amongst them some which is more classically staged but the audience are free to move and view the performance however they choose. The abridged version of the play will contain music and dancing and promises to be a unique experience.
Intrigued? We hope so!
Due to the nature of the performance audience numbers will be limited per show so you're advised to book early.

Timber Frame Vacation Homes
A Colorado Timber Frame Home with a View
These homeowners drink in the stunning vistas of the Continental Divide at their bright and airy Colorado timber frame home.
The Arsenaults wanted a bungalow or cottage feel for their home, but used large windows to bring in outside light and to enhance the views.
A large farmhouse sink, a center island finished in beadboard and paned glass cabinets enhance the cottage feel of the house.
Double-hung sash windows surround the breakfast nook, affording additional views.
Ceiling-mounted cabinets are nearly transparent through the use of paned glass doors.
In addition to a warming gas hearth in the living area, radiant-heat flooring keeps the home warm during Colorado's long winter months. The mantels are reclaimed Douglas fir crafted on-site.

The entire upper level acts as the master suite, which includes a large master bath and dressing area. The exposed ridge beam came from Chicago's Navy Pier.
The master bedroom's furnishings are oriented toward the mountain views through the arch-topped window. Because of Boulder County's forestry zoning ordinances, the home is finished in a fiber cement shake by James Hardie.
Fiber cement is fire-resistant and low maintenance.
When Paul and Jeanne Arsenault stumbled upon a steeply sloping site for sale with magnificent mountain views just two blocks from their grandkids, they quickly made an offer on the property. "My wife's daughter lives in Nederland — about 15 minutes outside Boulder — and we had been thinking about building a vacation home here with the idea to retire eventually," says Paul.
Once the couple had secured the land, they began looking at houses in the area for ideas on style. "We wanted a house with a cottage feel that would take advantage of the views," says Paul. "We had seen a house in town we liked, which was built by Erich Niermann of Divide Design Build, LLC." The couple contacted the builder, and they immediately hit it off. "One of the first requests the Arsenaults made was that the house have lots of windows," says the builder, who went to work sketching an initial design that he claims was more mountain bungalow than mountain cottage.
After a few iterations and quite a few more windows (he decided on windows with divided lites to achieve the desired cottage aesthetic), he had a solid starting point. He then contacted colleague and architect Deborah Davenport, owner of Caribou Ridge Architectural Services, to complete the permit drawings and floor plans.
"The couple clearly wanted to take in the views, which include the Continental Divide, so elements key to the design were the amount and placement of the windows," says the architect.
Structural Integrity
Along with window number and placement, the design team also had to take into account structural loads for the three-story, 3,620-square-foot house. "This house is hybrid construction," says the builder, who combined old Douglas fir timbers salvaged from Chicago's Navy Pier and structural insulated paneling for the house's construction. "The old beams had a couple of layers of paint on them, so we ripped them with a band saw to clean them up," the builder explains.
"The beams range from 6 to 10 inches in thickness and 10 to 16 feet in length — one of the larger timbers became the roof's ridge beam." The architect and builder compromised views for support in a few places where windows just wouldn't accommodate structural loads, such as the breakfast nook bump-out. "The Arsenaults wanted two walls of windows to abut at the corner of the building where the breakfast table was to go," the architect notes. Although it looked great on paper, it would jeopardize the integrity of the building. The architect and builder made up for such losses in the expanse of windows that take in the southern views.
A large 7-by-7-foot arch-topped window opens the upper-level master bedroom to the mountains. "The lower panes in the window are operable," the builder adds. Also, on the main level, a wall of French doors and windows allow that same southern view into the space. "It was really important for the home to blur the lines between indoors and outdoors," says the architect. "The natural landscape really becomes part of the house's design."
A Glass Act
The Arsenaults wanted their main-level living spaces to flow into one another — the kitchen opens to the living room and dining area — to maximize sunlight, allow for easy entertaining and help them keep an eye on their grandchildren. Mounted kitchen cabinets carry the theme of transparency through their design: Glass panes on both sides allow light to flow through the space.
On the northeast wall, Davenport designed a home office. Although a separate space, its paned glass French doors continue the feeling of openness in the main level. Even from the work desk, there are unobstructed views to the south. To maintain the cottage feel throughout the house, the windows are a traditionally inspired six-over-six double-hung design. To further enhance the cottage look, the builder introduced reclaimed fir flooring throughout the house.
"The old warehouse flooring came in 2-by-8s and 2-by-10s," he says. "We had them cut into tongue-and-groove 1-by-8 flooring strips by the local millwork shop Singing Saw. They came out beautifully." The timber framing is also left exposed throughout the house, which not only reflects the building's construction but also its mountain aesthetic. "Using reclaimed materials is a signature in Erich's houses," the architect observes, "which really enhances the overall design."
Small design details with big impact came later in the design process. The bow to the south-facing deck was an after-thought, explains the builder. "It carries the theme of the arch in the upper-level window to the deck." He chose hardy ipe wood for both the decking and railing. The open spacing between the eave rafters was another postscript to the design. He "pulled" the roofing back off the rafters to allow more sunlight into the home.
The pergola effect enhances the cottage atmosphere. The lower level of the home is reserved for guest rooms, a play area, laundry and the mechanical room. "We couldn't be happier in the house," says Paul. "It's everything we wanted in a mountain home — complete with views!"

SVM: Separating hyperplane for unbalanced classes
=================================================

Find the optimal separating hyperplane using an SVC for classes that
are unbalanced.

We first find the separating plane with a plain SVC and then plot
(dashed) the separating hyperplane with automatically correction for
unbalanced classes.

.. currentmodule:: sklearn.linear_model

.. note::

    This example will also work by replacing ``SVC(kernel="linear")``
    with ``SGDClassifier(loss="hinge")``. Setting the ``loss`` parameter
    of the :class:`SGDClassifier` equal to ``hinge`` will yield behaviour
    such as that of a SVC with a linear kernel.

    For example try instead of the ``SVC``::

        clf = SGDClassifier(n_iter=100, alpha=0.01)

"""
print(__doc__)

import numpy as np
import pylab as pl
from sklearn import svm
#from sklearn.linear_model import SGDClassifier

# we create 40 separable points
rng = np.random.RandomState(0)
n_samples_1 = 1000
n_samples_2 = 100
X = np.r_[1.5 * rng.randn(n_samples_1, 2),

TV comedy writer O'Shannon isn't interested in teaching you how to sell that buddy road picture you're hawking. His new book, What Are You Laughing At? delves into weightier stuff—comedy theory and the answers to the question, What is comedy and why do we respond to it the way we do? What Are You Laughing At? challenges long-held beliefs and shows how the three main theories of comedy (incongruity, superiority and relief) are not in conflict, but rather, work as parts of a larger model. O'Shannon uses examples from his own experiences writing for shows such as Cheers, Frasier, and Modern Family.


Wrongful Death Category Archives — Central New York Injury Lawyer Blog Published by Auburn Accident Lawyer — Liverpool Personal Injury Law Firm — Syracuse Injury Attorney — Liverpool Personal Injury Law Firm — Michaels & Smolak, P.C.
Cornell moved for summary judgment (to have the case dismissed) based in part on New York's General Obligations Law §9-103, which says landowners who allow the public to use their property for recreational purposes without charge are generally immune from liability. This law was enacted years ago to encourage landowners to open their fields and woods to hikers, bikers, hunters and others.
Judge Ramsey denied the motion and allowed the case to go to trial. The Judge reasoned that General Obligations Law § 9-103 grants immunity only for recreational activities, such as hiking, and here the kid was not "hiking". The judge relied on a definition of "hiking" in the Department of Environmental Conservation's regulations, which says hiking is "walking through trees for pleasure or exercise". Here the kid was not "walking for pleasure", the judge said, but rather running wildly through the woods in the middle of the night for unknown reasons.
Judge Admits He Is Wrong!
Judges, like most people, have a hard time admitting they're wrong. Well, maybe even a harder time than most people. That black robe is an ego-inflater. A lowly lawyer gets elected, dons the robe and — voila! — he is suddenly addressed as "your honor". People stand up when he walks into a room. You get the picture.
That's why an article in the New York Law Journal — titled "Judge Admits Mistake and Slashes Damages" caught my eye. The article is about a judge who admitted he was wrong without having to be told so by an appellate court. He said his original decision – which awarded $1 million to the children of a deceased medical malpractice victim as compensation for their lost future financial support and parental guidance – was "misinformed", and then slashed the award down to $150,000.


I adore fresh flowers in the hair.. So when I walked by the farmers market the other morning, I knew I had to grab a few when I saw these beauties. You never need a reason to put flowers in your hair. Try to incorporate wearing some, whether nonchalantly tucked into a bun, or like this magical look.. All through out!

Dubai Electricity and Water Authority signed an agreement to add another 250 megawatt capacity to the fourth phase of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, one of the largest concentrated solar power projects in the world.
The amendment to the power purchase agreement with Saudi Arabian Acwa Power, which is leading the execution of the fourth phase of the solar project, will raise the total installed power capacity to 950MW.
The developers would install solar panels with a collective capacity of 250MW at a cost of 2.4 US cents per kilowatt hour, one of the world's lowest, the Dubai government's media office said.
A consortium of Acwa and China's Shanghai Power, had submitted low bids to generate electricity at 7.3 US cents per kilowatt an hour for the phase.
Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park is one the region's most ambitious renewable energy projects, and will have 5,000MW installed capacity by 2030. The complex is expected to be the largest single-site solar park in the world built on the basis of an independent power producer (IPP) model.
An IPP is an entity that generates power for sale to a public utility. Dubai currently meets 4 per cent of its power needs from solar and the remainder from natural gas. The emirate targets generating 25 per cent of its energy needs from clean resources by 2020, which it wants to scale up to 75 per cent by 2050. The latest capacity addition to the project would raise the total investment in the park to Dh16 billion, according to the government.
The project will combine three technologies - a 600MW parabolic basin complex, a 100MW solar tower as well as 250MW of photovoltaic panels.
In May, the solar park opened the first part of its phase three - a scheme under the execution of Abu Dhabi's Masdar and France's EDF Group, with the completion date set for 2020. In an interview during the launch, Saeed Al Tayer, managing director and chief executive of Dewa, confirmed plans for the addition of more CSP capabilities.
He had said at the time that a 300MW CSP plant would be tendered before the first quarter of next year, exceeding the scheme's targeted installed capacity of 1,000MW by 2020.
The UAE plans to meet 7 per cent of its power needs from solar during that period.
CSP technology, which generates energy from the sun by using mirrors and lenses spread over large areas, is receiving a considerable uptake in the region due to falling costs.
Countries with high solar irradiation such as the UAE and Oman as well as Morocco are at the forefront of adapting to this technology, according to a note by Fitch Solutions consultancy.
CSP differs from PV technology in that the energy it produces is easier to be stored, but the latter has historically been cheaper and easy to use.
Worldwide, CSP solar capacity currently makes up only 8 per cent of total capacity collated, while PV solar power dominates the market due to its easy installation, particularly for small and large-scale projects, according to Fitch Solutions.

There is some symmetry in the fact Pete DeBoer is standing on the opposite bench as Paul Maurice becomes the sixth head coach in NHL history to coach 1,500 games.
The Jets host the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday and it's fitting that the two longtime coaches began their careers together on the Detroit Junior Red Wings staff in the Ontario Hockey League.
The Jets (34-16-2) are looking for a fourth consecutive victory as they close out a three-game homestand.
After two seasons as the bench boss of the Junior Red Wings — including an OHL championship and a trip to the Memorial Cup — Maurice was hired as an assistant coach with the Hartford Whalers.
And just 12 games into the 1995-96 season, Maurice took over from Paul Holmgren as the head coach — the springboard for a career behind the bench.
"I remember us both looking at each other and kind of pinching ourselves. The funny thing was that I was 25 and he was 26 and he had been an assistant coach for already six years at that point," said DeBoer. "This guy has been a coach for 40 years almost. I don't want to age him, but he's the epitome of a lifetime coach. He loves it. He loved coming to the rink even then and he was miserable when we lost.
The focus for Maurice is on the game itself, but he took some time to appreciate the journey.
"It's completely more special. Pete DeBoer and I started our (coaching) career together in 1993," said Maurice. "He was in law school at the time. We had a major junior team, a junior team, seven minor (hockey) teams, a rink and a restaurant were all part of the job that I had. Pete and I split the hockey together. We were roommates and ex-teammates (with the Windsor Spitfires in the OHL), so at that time, he was as close a friend as I had.
The Jets will be without defenceman Dustin Byfuglien for a 15th consecutive game, while centre Bryan Little will be a game-time decision after skipping the morning skate.
If Little is unable to play, Nic Petan will draw into the lineup for the first time since Dec. 22.
The Sharks will be without defenceman Erik Karlsson, who is day-to-day with a lower-body issue.
Connor Hellebuyck makes a third consecutive start for the Jets, while the Sharks counter with Martin Jones.

Our elementary students spent a portion of last week at Camp Henry. It would be quite easy for students and parents alike (staff too) to remember only that the bus did not arrive to bring us home.
Just as we had lined up, taken a group photo by the lake, stopped at the bathrooms, and assembled into small groups for dismissal to the bus, my phone rang. It was Sarah B. She was calling to let me know the bus driver had gone to the wrong camp, and that she would be at Camp Henry in the next hour.
Fast forward two hours. Yes. TWO HOURS. With no bus in sight, Jeff "Jake" Jacobs, Executive Director of Camp Henry, offered to drive us back to Grand Rapids. Our bus full of kids navigated Leonard Street NW through construction and Friday 5:00 ArtPrize traffic. We were home safe and sound—only three hours late.
The bus was on the minds of every student, every parent, and every staff member, and it would be easy (and tempting) to make that the story of our trip. Fortunately, so much more happened that we don't need to make that our focus.
One of our students exclaimed, "I might tell my mom that I can take a shower by myself every time! She doesn't have to help me anymore."
I watched a student, who was quite nervous about heights, decide to put on a harness and helmet, and make her way out onto the high ropes course for five or six brave steps. On the next day, that same student put on a harness and helmet again, and braved the giant swing. She inspired me!
Most of our students initially struggled with the concept of passing food around a table. They thought that passing food included reaching over three or four friends to hand something down, or that sliding a plate across a table (in hopes that the momentum would not carry it over the edge) was how to pass food. I watched over the two days as the lesson about passing to the person sitting next to you was learned and practiced.
When our counselor was slow to arrive to the front of the line for lunch, one of our upper elementary students got up on the steps and led the entire group in a song from the evening's campfire, keeping order and a high level of engagement among our students while we waited.
And yes, there were some tears and fears in the cabins at night. But even there, I watched a younger student find comfort with an older student, and an entire group of students help reassure one or two through their fear of spiders.
As this was our fourth consecutive year at Camp Henry, I also saw the growth of some of our students over the years. One student, in particular, was settled and calm. She showed other students where to find things in the dining hall. She participated in every single group activity. She guided new students to the bathrooms. I could barely believe my eyes. This was the same third year, who, as a first year, could not sit still, bounced between activities and refused to participate. I realized that Camp Henry is not just about growth in the two days we are there. It is also about the growth between years, as our students call on their memories and the traditions of camp to help lead others.
Jake dropped his work to drive us back to Grand Rapids.
I was impressed at this recounting of facts (especially that there was a headcount). He was right.
It has been said, "Instead of leading children, teachers should be willing to be taught by them. . . In essence, the role of the teacher is not to instruct, but to facilitate." By that measure, we succeeded. Both our staff and students learned a great deal about flexibility, paying attention to how much other people offer, and about just being together as a community.
When we arrived at school, I learned that a parent group met at the Mitten to wait for the bus there, with good company and a beer. Other parents had gathered on the playground at school, creating an impromptu playdate for younger children, and still more parents waited together on the sidewalk, catching up with one another, swapping stories, and laughing about the bus. There was not a single loud complaint. Instead, there was empathy and understanding for the staff and the students from our parents.
We had some fabulous opportunities last Friday afternoon—we were flexible, and we worked hard to communicate our revised plans. We got to play a few extra games. And, if we paid attention, we could see some pretty cool things happening.
If you get a chance, ask one of our elementary students what they noticed and remembered from camp. And let me know if you find a used bus that's available for sale!
PS—I called the bus company on Monday. The driver was fine, but lost, and she did not check in with them until 5:30. We were not charged for our trip.


(PR) — "Fat" is becoming the new normal in America. According to the most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than seven in 10 U.S. adults aged 20 and older are either overweight or obese. Rates are lower for children and adolescents but have risen drastically in the past few decades.
To determine where obesity and overweight most dangerously persist, WalletHub compared the 50 states and the District of Columbia across 25 key metrics. Data sets range from share of obese and overweight population to sugary-beverage consumption among adolescents to obesity-related health care costs.
Fattest States in the U.S.
Leanest States in the U.S.

After years of development, followed by a period of political uncertainty, Russia and Turkey have finally re-agreed to push ahead with the Turkish Steam pipeline. The decision was reached at 2016's World Energy Conference (WEC) in Istanbul. 909 kilometres of new pipeline will travel beneath the Black Sea, linked to 177 miles of onshore pipes, transporting gas from Russia via Turkey to Europe.
The project, which has been in the planning stages since 2014, is expected to reach deliverability of 63 billion cubic metres of natural gas annually once operational. Gazprom expects total costs on the project to reach $15.1 billion.
Alexi Miller, Gazprom's chairman, stated the first phase of undersea pipe laying could be completed as early as 2019. Gazprom will be working alongside Turkey's BOTAS to complete the project. BP's CEO Bob Dudley, speaking at the WEC, also expressed his eagerness to get involved with the Turkish Stream, citing the pleasing results of BP's involvement on another Turkish-involved project – TANAP, the Trans Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline.
Mozambique LNG is emerging as a future leader in the global LNG industry as it works to develop an LNG facility on the Afungi peninsula in Caba Delgado province. With approximately 75 trillion cubic feet of recoverable natural gas discovered in the Offshore Area 1, the Mozambique LNG Project represents an extraordinary opportunity to meet increasing world demand for a sustainable, reliable and cleaner source of energy.
Mozambique's favorable central geographic location means the country is well positioned to meet the needs of customers in the Atlantic and Asia-Pacific markets, and to tap into the growing demand for energy in the Middle East and Indian sub-continent. Anadarko and the other participants in Mozambique LNG are committed to working collaboratively with Mozambican communities and government officials to safely develop these natural gas resources in a manner that protects the environment, encourages additional foreign investment and contributes to the long-term economic stability of the region.

Introduction to GUP #48 - Mixing It Up

#48 — Mixing It Up Buy Issue
Let's not play this too safe. It's easy to talk about photography like it's just one thing, but that's not really an accurate picture. Not anymore. There's lens-less photography, there's camera-less photography, there are photographs manipulated far beyond the 'moment' they were captured, there are artists who work with photographs without ever taking a single shot themselves. Art is meant to push, and within the field of photography, there's a lot of heated pushing and shoving.
But that's not a bad thing. As the photographer protagonist in Antonioni's classic movie Blow-Up says: "Nothing like a little disaster for sorting things out."
It sometimes takes a fight to know where you stand. And, following any good fight, it can be very tempting to plant yourself on one side of the fence or another, defending fiercely any ground you've got. Somehow, the space on which you're standing always seems to have more integrity, by virtue of your occupation. The real skill of artistry, however, is to continuously find a new place to stand. To ignore the fences entirely.
When thinking of the field known as photography, more fluid than formal, we wanted to take a look at artists who like colouring outside the lines. Photographers who are mixing it up.
Let's not forget: even when used for issues of great seriousness, photography is a beautiful playground.

If you're dealing with seller's agents, it's a good idea to keep confidential information to yourself. These days many home buyers prefer instead to hire a buyer's broker, one who owes the full range of duties, including confidentiality and obedience, to the buyer. A buyer's broker is often paid by the seller, regardless of the agency relationship.
In making your decision to work with an agent, there are certain questions you should ask when evaluating a potential agent.
The first question you should ask is whether the agent is a REALTOR® .


Also, did you see their shoes? Talk about privilege… I agree that the privilege walk would be difficult to use in the classroom, but I also sense that you won't shy away from talking with your students about privilege. What are you ideas on how to do that?

Please note 24 Hours notice is required for all cancellations so we have time to refill the appointment space. In some cases no shows may result in full price to be taken from client.
Children are always welcome in the salon but must be supervised at all times.
Salon Hygiene is, of course, the utmost importance and to achieve optimal cleanliness we ensure we sterilise all of our tools & equipment .
Most credit and debit Cards are accepted with the exception of American Express. All prices include value added tax at a current rate.
Patch testing is required for clients who have never had eyelash tinting and lash lifting.
The following conditions apply to bookings of services made by you through our website.
When booking a third party's services on Phorest you may be required to pay a non refundable reservation fee using either a credit or a debit card. The amount of the reservation fee will depend on the total cost of your booking and will range from £0.50 to £1.50 (inclusive of VAT).
A cancellation of an appointment will result in loss of the reservation fee. The amount lost depends on the total cost of your booking but will be no more than £1.50. If a booking is partially cancelled (one or more, but not all treatments that are part of the booking) the reservation fee will not change. If the service provider cancels the whole booking the reservation fee will be credited to your Phorest account. This credit can be used to reserve future bookings on Phorest. If the services provider only partially cancels a booking your reservation fee will not change.
Beauty products must be paid for in full at time of purchase or ordering. If you are not happy with your product then we have a 'money back guarantee' policy up to 7 days after purchase.
All courses have a validity of 12 months from date of purchase, unless otherwise stated. Due to courses being an upfront discounted rate they are non-refundable after a 14 day cool-down period.
The number of treatments required depends upon your skin, hair colouring, coarseness of the hair and density per treated area. The IPL hair removal system causes permanent reduction in the number of hairs growing in an area. Because hair grows in three phases, and each hair goes through these stages independently, it is almost impossible for one IPL treatment to permanently reduce all hair in a given area.
Clinical studies, which have followed patients for one year after completing two treatments, have shown that reduction in hair growth was stable for the duration of that time.
While individual results may vary, patients typically find that it takes 6 to 12 treatments to get the desired results.
In the case of IPL hair removal on the face we can get rid of most growth but with up to 500 hair follicles per square cm on lip and chin, as you get rid of hairs there is no way you can't determine that hormones won't trigger hairs in previously dormant untreated or vellus hair follicles therefore it will be an ongoing maintenance programme.
TreatCard points cannot be redeemed for cash, sold or transferred. Your TreatCard must not be transferred to a third party. Points can only be redeemed on certain treatments. Your TreatCard cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer or discount. All client TreatCards remain the property of The Secret beauty Garden. The Secret Beauty Garden reserves the right to without notice: a. terminate the scheme b. decline to issue Loyalty cards c. withdraw or cancel the loyalty card or scans collected d. alter or amend the terms & conditions of The Secret Beauty Garden TreatCard scheme.

Vouchers cannot be redeemed for cash, sold or transferred. Your gift voucher number must be quoted at the time of booking and the voucher handed to the therapist at the start of your treatment. You are not under obligation to use the full value of your vouchers during one session. In ''failure to show'' up to your appointment without cancellation notice this may result in your Gift Voucher becoming invalid. Gift Vouchers cannot be redeemed against product.
We reserve the right to alter prices but will always give prior notice via email and in person if a price increase is due.
In the interest of comfort of all our clients, please refrain from talking on a mobile phone and ensure it is switched off, or on silent, for the full duration of your time at the salon. The Secret Beauty Garden is a relaxing environment where we like our clients to escape from their hectic lifestyles and restore some peace in their lives.

Justice Begins In the Imagination
Rev. Billy's Trump Help Hotline
Credit: Photo Phiend/Flickr.
Reverend Billy Talen May 12, 2019
Hi Billy, I just read how Anita Hill won't cut Joe Biden any slack for dragging her name through the mud all those years ago. She says she wants real change and accountability. I'm a Christian and I believe in forgiveness. But we as a nation got to start keeping it real. Where do we begin?
— Wanetta, Jersey City
Dear Wanetta,
In the Senate hearing room, the old-hardwood walls and tables lend a solemn air. Seated in a long row on the bench above the rest of the people are Senator Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Senator Ilhan Omar, Senator Stacey Abrams, Senator Maxine Waters, Senator Ayanna Pressley, Senator Toni Morrison, Senator Lori Lightfoot, Senator Shirley Chisholm, Senator Carol Moseley Braun and Senator Michelle Obama. Below them, seated at a microphone, facing the 10 senators and a national audience of millions, is a witness named Joe Biden.
Justice begins in the imagination.
— Rev
That Mueller report is some good reading, Reverend. The man's a regular W.P. Wodehouse and doesn't even know it. But it stuck in my craw watching Assange get carried from the Ecuadorian Embassy like a big hairy baby in the arms of the bobbies. I'm all for taking on The Donald and Assange ain't no saint, but to go down for exposing the dirty deeds of the Pentagon. That stinks of bull, Reverend. My friends say he had it coming. I couldn't disagree more. You as peeved as I am?
— Tim, Boerum Hill
I have to catch myself because I feel like I should fire off a snarky jab at the hacker. He has boldly gone where no man has ever been so annoying — and worse than that if the rape charges are true.
But whether or not I like him is not important, because I know that I dislike American exceptionalism — the force that has Assange in its crosshairs. It is the reigning toxin of our culture. It is far more noxious than Julian Assange.
The Pentagon is a murderous band of gangsters and exposing its inner workings couldn't be more important. Assange did that. He also vividly warned us about the national security state in the computer era. He doesn't come off smelling like Jesus Christ, after his confusing deals with various devils, but it is startling with Assange gone (if he is gone) that there isn't an outlaw left to face American Empire on such a scale.
May you travel in wildness,
Reverend Billy is an activist and political shouter, a post-religious preacher of the streets and bank lobbies. Have a question for Reverend Billy? Just email RevBilly@Indypendent.org and unburden your soul.

1992 Cadillac Allante
1992 Cadillac Allante for sale
Return to Ad 1992 Cadillac Allante
Now is your time to pick up an affordable luxury drop-top that was once reserved only for the elite. This 1992 Cadillac Allante is about opulence, from the design of the sheetmetal, to its leather interior, to its fuel-injected V8. So it's time to pay attention when this modern luxury classic is well within reach.
The glow of the white paint is the product of a beautiful pearl application and well-respected car that has averaged less than 1,400 miles annually. While American cars were once all about chrome, the trim you're really going to notice is the hint of red that forms an almost unbroken line around the whole vehicle. That's a nice subtle nod to this car relationship to Ferrari - their preferred design house Pininfarina also designed and hand assembled by this Cadillac. The body was then flown in a special 747 jet from Italy to the USA where Detroit made the final drivetrain assembly. So this one is an international effort that captures the best of the car worlds.
The black canvas roof has a clean look that's a timeless combo against the exterior white. But when you take it down you really see an added sophistication with the way the beige leather interior looks against the exterior paint. The design shows off more European style, starting with 10-way power adjusting seats designed by Recaro. The digital dash is a wonder of '90s technology, and certainly delivers on Cadillac's modern promise of art and science. It offers advanced digital features such as a full gauge pack, AM/FM/CD/cassette stereo, trip computer, and automatic climate control (with the A/C running modern R134a.) As true to the Cadillac name, there are plenty more luxury features such as cruise control, power locks, power steering, and power windows. Plus, the trunk is big enough to handle much more than a weekend's worth of luggage, which makes this the perfect getaway companion.
Cadillac's 4.5-liter V8 is a motor you're going to love. It has the clean look of a well-maintained powerhouse, and it's believed to be original to the car. It fires up readily like a proper fuel-injected machine, and it runs with the smoothness you want in a Cadillac. And these are also great drivers. General Motors was building a Mercedes rival with the Allante. That's why you find such an opulent design, four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive, and a luxurious ride. And just like the Europeans, this Allante can hold the road with authority thanks to features like four-wheel disc brakes, ABS, and a fully independent suspension.
The sale comes complete with the full owner's manual packet. The Allante was all about showcasing the best from Cadillac, and so it's terrific to find such a well-priced and low-mileage example. Call today!!!
