Bonnie Wright: Ginny Who?
Cerebral, stylish and self-effacing, Bonnie Wright is so much more than her flagship role. Now residing in New York City, the 24-year-old is embarking on a new adventure behind the camera as a writer and director.
Lindsay Carlson
It's It's been well over a decade since a young Ginny Weasley warmed hearts across the globe - the shy, ginger beauty who grew up before our eyes and became a bold, fearless young woman and keeper of Harry Potter's heart.
The same can be said for Bonnie Wright who, at the tender age of 10 and with little acting experience, made her debut in one of the most important cinematic adaptations in history. For 10 years Bonnie was married to the role of Ginny, and over the course of the Harry Potter franchise came of age under a global spotlight. It's safe to say she has taken this in her stride and has navigated the film world with grace, effortlessly avoiding the typical pitfalls of childhood stardom.
Cerebral, stylish and self-effacing, Bonnie Wright is so much more than her flagship role. Now residing in New York City, the 24-year-old is embarking on a new adventure behind the camera as a writer and director. In one of Manhattan's trendiest coffee shops, SUITCASE sat down with the multi-talented starlet to talk about her craft, life in the Big Apple, her philanthropic pursuits and, of course, Destiny's Child...
It's never a good thing when the subject of your interview makes it to your meeting place before you do. In the land of celebrity, things usually run on the star's time and waiting is the game of journalists. As I learn over the course of our meeting, Bonnie Wright's punctuality is one of the many reasons she is not your average world-famous actress.
I find her tucked away in the corner of La Colombe and after a few pleasantries, we launch immediately into a conversation about her foray into writing and directing. Bonnie describes her consistent effort "to set that self-discipline" - making sure that each day reflects a proper day's work. Currently in the process of writing her first feature film (she has already written and directed a short film) Bonnie's new, self-appointed gig is a whole different ballgame from learning lines in a trailer. She is keen to emphasise the dedication and self-regulation required to create her own work.
That said, her decade spent in the Harry Potter franchise has not been a bad education. Working with some of the greatest British talent, including world-famous actors, directors and producers, has afforded Bonnie a solid understanding of what goes into creating a great film.
"Because I started acting at such a young age," she explains, "I had no idea where the journey was going to take me. As a curious kid, on all the Harry Potter films, I became interested in filmmaking in its entirety."
In the evolution of her craft, Bonnie hasn't limited herself to one side of the camera. When I ask her which part of the world of cinema she prefers, she explains how intertwined acting and directing really are.
If you're not a team player in the film industry it becomes very hard to share your message
"Often, I'll be writing and the idea of walking onto a film set in front of the camera throws me. And then sometimes the other way around, when I've been acting I'll be like 'Oh God, I don't want to go back to my desk to write!' But they inform each other so much. It is a collaborative medium and the boundaries between jobs often cross. Especially when you're an actor and you're working so much with the director. For me, that's the funnest thing about being an actress: working with the director and working with their vision."
She goes on to emphasise the importance of synergy when creating a successful film. "If you're not a team player in the film industry it becomes very hard to share your message - and what's the point of sabotaging your own work? It's interesting to see the methods of different people, in the same way that it's fascinating to watch another actor and see how they run a scene."
If all of this sounds erudite, it's because, well, Bonnie's a pretty intelligent gal - and she perceives the world of acting through a particularly academic lens. No surprise, then, that her acting heroines appear in intellectual dramas rather than box-office rom-coms.
"I've always loved Cate Blanchett, Michelle Williams and Gaby Hoffman," she says.
Hoffman is a particularly interesting choice. The actress, who you'll probably recognise as Adam's manic sister in GIRLS, is known for her compelling but rough-around-the-edges presence. "There's something that really draws you in with her performance," Bonnie muses. "It's something accidental. She has such an open and giving face that you can't help but want to be pulled in by her."
I ask Bonnie whether it's a coincidence that so many of her roles have been in literary adaptations. According to IMDb, she's currently filming A Christmas Carol and back in 2013 she starred in The Sea, a British-Irish drama based on the novel by John Banville.
"No, no - it's coincidental," she laughs. "But I'm about to do my first adaptation of a short story into a short film, which is a new thing for me. It's by an author called A.S. Byatt and it lends itself so neatly to film; the description, the dialogue, the pace are all so easily transferable. So it's going to be a joy to adapt. But at the same time, it's a different realm of directing someone else's idea or vision. How close do you stay to the material? How much do you want to put a stamp of your own on to it?"
The current feature film that she's working on, according to Bonnie, is going to present even greater artistic challenges.
"Anyone can write 10 pages," she says jokingly. "Writing a huge script that has so much to do with plot, specific screenwriting techniques and devices is a whole new world to me. Even at film school all the work we did was short-form. We obviously studied feature film, but we never got to make one over the course of a three-year degree, so this has been really interesting."
As a curious kid, on all the Harry Potter films, I became interested in filmmaking in its entirety
As she ventures down this new career path, Bonnie has appropriately adopted the nomadic lifestyle of the writer. Having recently relocated to New York, she is happy to go where the winds take her as she wraps up various projects, and LA may be next. That said, she's making meaningful connections as she goes, and explains how surprised she was to be so readily embraced by New York's film community.
"I think it's the American mentality of being forward," she says. "When I made my first short film in New York, I managed to create this amazing group. They were all so giving, so great at their jobs and so enthusiastic. I think anything is possible here."
Having done the rounds in Hollywood, however, Bonnie is equally cautious of those who are all talk and no walk.
"You also need to take it with a pinch of salt. People can promise you the world, but you can't start celebrating too soon."
With this on the table, she goes on to discuss the culture of self-promotion that's so ubiquitous in the United States - certainly not a quality that the average self-deprecating Brit possesses.
"When you're having to speak up for your own work, you have to sell yourself in a way. Especially when every project is a new project, you're having to find collaborators, you're having to pitch your project all the time."
As if writing, directing, acting and discovering New York weren't enough to keep Bonnie busy, the Renaissance woman also devotes a significant amount of her time to the causes she cares most about. She helped promote the Global Citizen Festival in Washington DC back in April this year and she continues to work with Oxfam, an organisation that is dear to her heart.
"I first went on a trip with them to Senegal when they were doing a whole push about the food crisis in West Africa," she recalls. "They decided they wanted to push the story before it got to a level that would be a hundred times more expensive to save. So I travelled with them and through that trip they asked me to come on board long-term as an ambassador."
When you're having to speak up for your own work, you have to sell yourself in a way
"Even though the focus there was on agriculture and food shortages," she goes on, "I'm now working with them on education and women's rights because of the audience that I have. I know that I can connect with people on that topic."
Bonnie has also acted as a mouthpiece for the Global Poverty Project, writing articles and appearing on TV for their campaign Live Below the Line, which challenges people to live on the equivalent amount of money on the extreme poverty line for five days.
Bonnie remembers her first attempt last year in New York: "I literally bought pasta and bread and had no energy and awful headaches all week. It really makes you realise that in a city like New York or London, you can't just sit down in a nice warm place and buy a coffee. You realise just how much it segregates you and how alienating it is."
Needless to say Bonnie is one of the more down-to-earth actresses I have had the pleasure of meeting. When I ask her what she misses most about London she steals the answer I almost always give.
"I miss Sundays in London. I miss hanging out at friends' houses, cooking and watching TV. People never cook here! People never sit at home and have those leisurely days. I miss that."
But it's Bonnie's response to my final question that makes me wonder whether I may have just found my kindred spirit. What's the craziest, most exciting thing that's happened as a result of Harry Potter stardom?
"I got to meet Destiny's Child when they were still together and dance on stage with them. That was pretty fun."


Micron's release of second-quarter financials last week showed a significant decrease in key metrics, yet somehow the news pushed the stock nearly 10% higher. However, the stock has returned most of its profits as the broad market saw a substantial decline.
Though the company announced a drop in revenue and EPS (20.5% and 39.4%, respectively), the bad results weren't as bad as Wall Street was expecting. This is mainly because most investors knew the chips market has deteriorated over the past few quarters, leading to a collapse in NAND and DRAM prices, and therefore Micron's bottom line.
Micron second-quarter financials included revenue of $5.8 billion (compared to $7.4 billion last year) and non-GAAP EPS of $1.71 (compared to $2.82 last year). Both of these metrics were above management guidance, though 50% gross margin was at the bottom of management's 50%-53% guidance.
As a result of "lower near-term DRAM prospects, MU plans to idle approximately 5 percent of its DRAM wafer starts." Roy says, "management believes this will bring production levels closer to its view of DRAM industry bit demand growth for calendar 2019," and help better control expenses.
Will Micron (MU) Stock's Momentum Continue?

England's Ironbridge Gorge Walking Festival, now in its ninth year, will offer more than 50 free walks from Saturday, May 3 through Sunday, May 11.
All walks are in and around the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site in Telford, Shropshire, about 50 km northwest of Birmingham.
Walks range from short informative walks and family trails (one designed especially for pushchair and wheelchair users) to a 15-mile circular hike over the Wrekin, with plenty of steep climbs and rough terrain.
Along with nearly 20 other new walks, this year's festival will introduce the "100 Mile Ironbridge Challenge." Participants in the Challenge must finish seven specified walks on seven different days for a total of 100+ miles. Winners will receive certificates and woven badges for their rucksacks.
For those who want to learn more about the area's heritage, the festival will have a walk that takes in the history of the river bridges and another 15-mile circular walk that skirts the edge of the 1,360-acre (550-hectare) World Heritage Site.
The organizers tell us that all walks are free, but pre-booking is essential. Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome on most walks, but please check before signing up.

Money Bomb For the Nation
February 10, 2010 Matt Parrott Activism, Books, Conservatism, Politics, Uncategorized 3
I remember high school teachers complaining about our congressman, John Hostettler. They mumbled about him being a "radical conservative" and a real "hick". While I accepted their view as fact at the time, I've figured out that a man's worth can be weighed in gallons of bile spewed at him by those types. Over and over again, Hostettler did the opposite of what the media, the "experts", and the lobbyists told him to do.
He did it again in 2003, becoming one of only six Republican representatives to vote against the invasion of Iraq. He was unceremoniously ousted in the next election cycle by a Hoosier constituency mesmerized by Fox News propaganda and Christian Zionist brainwashing. Despite having held the line on traditional conservative values and disciplined budget balancing for over a decade, Hostettler was painted as some sort of confused liberal.
During his sabbatical from Washington, he wrote a book: Nothing for the Nation: Who got what out of Iraq. The book shows how a dedicated core of wealthy and powerful lobbyists representing Jewish special interest groups hijacked the political process and plunged our country into a bloody and expensive conflict that we had nothing to gain from. While he's not a supporter of Occidental Dissent's White advocacy, he's unquestionably the best hope America has of placing an outspoken critic of the Israel Lobby in office.
Hostettler's supporters are attempting to raise a $5,000 money bomb on February 22nd for his U.S. Senate campaign in Indiana and I'm pledging to do my part to support my principles with my paycheck. He has a real chance here to oust Evan Bayh, a Democratic Senator who proudly supports both bailouts and bombs, while feigning an interest in balancing the budget.
I know that many of the people in here have given up on the political process and many of the people in here will find Hostettler's views or his voting record problematic for one reason or another. But if you're looking for practical ways to support politicians who defy the Jewish interests in Washington, this might be a good way for you to do that. If you do pledge to donate, be sure to tell them in the Message section of the pledge that you came from Occidental Dissent.

I was shocked by how quickly and totally rank and file conservatives fell for the Iraq war. I know conservatives who were against the somewhat more justified first Iraq war but supported the second one because "we need to teach the Muslims a lesson."
Discrediting Fox News and Christian Zionism is something we must do before we can build a mass movement or have any kind of electoral success.

About a month ago I finished Bonhoeffer by Eric Metaxas, which gave me a fresh reminder of how important biographies have been for my faith. I was thinking to myself that I really haven't read many biographies in book-form – just a handful. And I wondered why I haven't read more, since I always get so much from them. But as I was thinking about it I realized I also needed to lump all of the John Piper biography lectures I've listened to into the group. Which got me thinking about how much those have formed me over the past 6 or 7 years.
Someone told me about Piper's biographies about 7 or 8 years ago, sometime in the year before my wife and I got married. These things weren't as popular as they are now, and not as many people knew they were all online for download. I think the first one I listened to was Piper's talk on John Calvin – it hooked me, and I had to listen to these as often as I could.
I've listened to most of the lectures at this point (except for a couple), and some are better than others. But I have to say, I remember quite a bit from all my listens. Piper's lectures taught me how the grace of God has worked in the lives of all of these great figures of the Church – how they all read the same Scriptures, and knew the same triune God, and how they went through the same trials and griefs of the Christian life. And the importance of getting to know biography and history from the Church can't be understated. Hebrews 11 lists describes the lives of saints who have gone before us, and for the same reasons. The writer of the book tells us that since we're surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, run the race with intensity. We've seen God work so faithfully and prove Himself sure and true so many times, we press on to the day Christ comes for His Church with full assurance and joy. Even through the blasting fires of suffering.
I love knowing so many faithful saints have gone before, and that they prove God's promises to always hold onto His people. A good Christian biography should put all the emphasis on God's faithfulness, not our own. And it's good to build up and strengthen our faith by knowing the lives of other saints, to build that strong foundation for when God ordains suffering for our own lives.
So I thought I'd list off the couple Piper biographies that have really been a special help to me, and why. I hope you have a chance to give them a listen.
The intense, aggressive way God worked His grace in the life of Newton. His life makes me appreciate afresh God's saving grace that came to me too.
What it means to be a shepherd, and to be both tender and tough as we lead and minister in the family of God. Newton had a great balance of these two things.
I've been listening to this one over and over at the gym currently. Spurgeon is called the "Prince of Preachers," and was such a great pillar of the Faith, but he dealt with severe slander from others, and intense depression and sickness. But he had a joyful, Calvinistic outlook on his trials. He believed that the good that God worked in his life because of trials was incalculable. It's so helpful to know other great men and women of the faith dealt with the same difficulties we do, and worse.
Machen was a Calvinist who came to this theological position in some unique ways, and had some really unique things to say about it. And Machen stood firm as a biblical, Calvinistic, Doctrines of Grace type of Christian when Modernism was taking over Western culture, and seeping into the Church. This one's very relevant for our current trends in American culture.

Knights halves Pearce and Ponga share the love
Margie McDonald Senior Reporter
Thu 10 Jan 2019, 05:01 PM
All you need is love – to make a good halves pairing – just ask Mitchell Pearce.
The Knights will roll out a new halves partnership for the 2019 Telstra Premiership season in Pearce at halfback and Kalyn Ponga at five-eighth.
They have only played No.7 and No.6 together once before. But coach Nathan Brown has agreed to their request to strike up a permanent partnership, starting with the Knights' two trial games against the Dragons (February 23) and Sharks (March 2).
Pearce has given a little insight on the ingredients of a good halves combination.
"Me and him are great mates – we talk a lot about footy. Actually he doesn't want to talk a lot about footy but I force him into it," Pearce said of Ponga.
"As halves you need a good relationship. You have to have a lot of love for each other and play for each other. We've got a good connection so I'm excited."

The wizardry in attack by both men is a certainty – Pearce's immaculate kicking game and Ponga's side-stepping and ball play. But Pearce knows how they both defend will be crucial to their success.
"To be honest our attack is something I'm confident about. I feel like we'll have good control of the team if we keep working hard and stay focused," Pearce said.
"The biggest thing for me and him is his drive and his defensive mentality. Moving from fullback to five-eighth comes a bigger defensive load and he's got to own that defence, and so do I on my edge as well."
Pearce knows the power of Ponga will strengthen the Knights' playmaking but make his job easier at No.7.
However, the 29-year-old also credits coach Nathan Brown with enlightening his own game, even if he's about enter his 13th season of NRL.
"I really enjoy the attack Brownie coaches. I feel like he's got the better out of me as a half.
"He's taught me some little idiosyncrasies and subtleties. I've played for a long time but they were things new to me and have helped me.
"Attacking players are only as good as the structure around them and the education from the coach is crucial.
"He's allowed me and Kalyn to play our best style. We've got to keep working on that but it's been a bit plus me moving here."
As for Brown, he knows many in the rugby league world think he's taking a gamble with Ponga shifting from a brilliant season at No.1 in 2018 – so much so that he made the Queensland Origin team – to the unknown territory of No.6.
"He's such a good player," Brown said.
"You've got Cameron Munster who played fullback for Melbourne in a grand final [2016] and then played five-eighth for Queensland. It's more the style of play for us. It's something we're quite comfortable that will work for us.
"Kalyn's style of play is not going to change.
"People will see what he can bring to the table. He's quite a unique player but we're comfortable he'll play good footy but like all young kids, he'll have times when he'll think he needs to work on this or that."
The second-year syndrome for up-and-coming players isn't something that Brown worries about Ponga suffering.
"In Kalyn's case, this next six weeks [the final pre-season training block] is about putting the things in place that are going to help him," Brown said.
"The game is always more difficult to play in year two in some ways, but we all know what Kalyn can do. He played lock for Queensland and many think it was the best debut they'd seen.
"So he can obviously adapt to situations.
"I'm sure opposition sides will target him but I'm sure he'll work out ways to combat that himself and as staff we'll help him out too.
"We're very confident Kalyn will have a good year."

Comedian Derek Edwards' new tour, with a stop on Oct. 14 in Sarnia, is called Alls I'm Saying.
"It's a handy way to finish off a theory you have," said Edwards, a veteran of comedy in Canada who is returning Sarnia's Imperial Theatre during a tour with nearly a dozen stops across Ontario.
"It's a phrase you heard all the time growing up Timmins' way, or anywhere in the North," he said.
The winner of a best standup comic prize from the Canadian Comedy Awards and a regular at Montreal's Just For Laughs Festival has been working now in comedy for three decades.
Edwards started out life in Chapleau but grew up down the road in Timmins before leaving for Toronto where he eventually began a career that led to him being described by other comics as one of Canada's funniest.
While it has been a long career, it is a "less frequent" one than many others, Edwards said.
"I'm not putting in the eight hours a day," he said.
Edwards just completed touring Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba where travelling is generally "little towns, long drives and nothing to look at," he said.
On this recent trip he took one road that ran north and south along the Saskatchewan border where his was the only vehicle for long stretches of time.
"I drove on the other side of the road just for a change, to see what it felt like to be in England," Edwards said.
If there had been another car on the road "I could have seen them coming for 20 minutes" in that flat part of Canada, he said.
Edwards still plays comedy clubs – most often when he's "boning up" for the next tour of theatres around the county.
"It takes some piecing together, this whole 90-minute puzzle . . . trying to polish it and make it funny again," he said.
He said he also enjoys the "simplicity" of comedy in clubs.
"The theatres are wonderful, and they're cozy and intimate," but there's something about how close the audience is in a club "that maybe goes back to some basic primal thing," he said.
Longevity in comedy takes some luck, as well as "plugging away" and gaining comfort up on stage, Edwards said.
"The folks that do stray away from comedy, and get into the real world, some of them just realize, as I realize now, there's no retirement plan, no dental coverage," he said.

ANGELIkA PRIVALIKHINA Biography
Angelika Privalikhina is one of the shining art stars to emerge from Russia in recent years. Her works are held in the Art Museum of the city of Krasnoyarsk and Art Museum of Divnogorsk and other museums in Siberia and the Far East and is in private collections in Russia, Israel, Germany, the United States, China and the United Kingdom.
Born in a small village called Uzlovaja in the Tula region of Russia, Angelika attended the Special School for Gifted Children in the Arts in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia. Chasing the romanticism of untrodden paths, Angelika's family moved to Siberia in search of adventure and opportunity in an area that was experiencing rapid growth. What was supposed to be a short adventure in Siberia stretched into many years. It was there that Angelika spent her childhood and took up painting. She was taught to see the beauty of the world, and to depict it not realistically, but through her own feelings and vision.
In 1990, Angelika graduated from the Art College in Krasnoyarsk. She taught and worked as an assistant curator at the local art museum. From 1995-2000 she created a course study for elementary schools called Art: The Very Beginning. The course was published by the State School Board as a monograph, and is used as a base for art studies at elementary schools in Siberia.
Inspired by the beauty of the forests, rivers and flowers of her youth, Angelika is a skilled colorist, capturing flowers and vistas that change from bright orange to gold at sunset. Her travels have also left a lasting impression on her… from summer vacations to Moscow as a child to recent travels to Italy, Angelika is an observer. She watches how form and line change depending on light, color, shade and hue and captures rare depth of emotion with stunning intensity in her landscape, still life and figurative oil paintings.
Angelika has received multiple awards for her art. She has also received numerous commendations and awards for her input as a teacher of art from The Department of Culture of Krasnoyarsk, and Art & Culture Museum of Krasnoyarsk.
Her work has been exhibited over 50 times throughout the United Kingdom, Germany, Russia and the United Sates. She has been a member of the Union of ARTS of Russia since 2006, is a member of International Association of ART and the Association Internationale Des ARTS Plastiques-IAA AIAP Unesco.

How long did it take to build the Great Pyramid?
Elizabeth Nix
The oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and the only one that survives today, the Great Pyramid of Giza was constructed as a tomb for the Egyptian pharaoh Khufu. The precise details regarding the pyramid's construction remain a mystery, as no written records have been found, but a number of estimates place its completion at sometime between 2560 B.C. and 2540 B.C. The pyramid initially rose about 481 feet, making it the world's tallest man-made structure for thousands of years until it was surpassed in the early 1300s by England's Lincoln Cathedral. Due to erosion, the pyramid now stands around 455 feet tall.
Covering an area of 13 acres, the massive monument was designed to align with the points of the compass and built with an estimated 2.3 million stones, each weighing a ton or more on average. The workforce is thought to have consisted of thousands of skilled tradesmen and paid laborers, as opposed to slaves, and estimates suggest the project took about two decades to complete. It's been speculated that workers created ramps in order to move the stone building blocks into place on the pyramid.
In addition to Khufu's pyramid, two other large pyramids for pharaohs were erected at the Giza site, one for his son Khafra (it originally stood 471 feet high) and the other for Khafra's son Menkaure (originally 218 feet high). Khafra's pyramid complex is home to the famous Great Sphinx statue, which measures 241 feet long and about 66 feet high. Over the ages, all three pyramids have been targeted by grave robbers and much of their exterior white limestone stolen, possibly for use in other building projects.

PERRY COUNTY, Ky. (WYMT) - April is "Autism Awareness" month and one Perry County boy hopes sharing his story will give people a better understanding of what it is like to live with autism.
Kelby Johnson, 9, sits at his desk at Robinson Elementary School in Perry County.
He uses a tablet to do his assignments. However, it's used for much more.
When he was just 18-months old, his family noticed something was wrong. His vocabulary slowed down and eventually stopped all together.
Doctors diagnosed Kelby with autism.
"It's heartbreaking because he was very verbal, very expressive, very engaging with everything and all of his surroundings and people," Kelby's grandmother Shelia Barnett said. "Then all of a sudden ... locked up and lost and not able to communicate."
From 18 months to age 8, Kelby could not share his thoughts or feelings. But that all changed about a year ago when Kelby got access to a program called "DynaVox."
The program allows people to communicate using both a keyboard and symbols. Once a response is typed out, the person can push a button and the device speaks for them.
We asked Kelby a few questions, including what he would like to be when he grows up.
"I want to write books about autism and inform people about what it's like to live with autism," he said.
Kelby spends most of his day in class with all the other fourth graders. Academically, he is at the top of his class. Socially, Kelby struggles but DynaVox has helped with that giving him an avenue to talk with friends.
In the hallways of Robinson Elementary, the walls are covered with decorations celebrating autism.
"We are very aware that those students are just as meaningful to us as any other student is and sometimes they have a little bit more to offer because they have a totally different perspective on life," Principal Estill Neace said.
Kelby wants to share his perspective with the world. He has made it his mission to let people know what it is really like to have autism.
He said there is one thing in particular that people do not understand.
"That people with autism have hopes and dreams like everyone else," Kelby said.
Kelby will give a presentation Thursday at the Annual Special Needs Awareness Evening in Knott County.
The event takes place at Hindman Elementary from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m.


The Game Bag – Autumn in the Argentine Bird Hunting at it's Best!
When I hit my first double, my new best friend and bird boy, Panzi, yelled out one of the few phrases he knew in English: "GOOD SHOT!" I was relieved that my Spanish is too poor to tell him! was shooting at the lead bird in the flight of fifteen or more when I dropped two in the middle.
But it took some getting used to in order to be able to Hit the fast flying, darting, eared doves of Argentina. And we were told they usually didn't fly that high. Whether that was to make us feel better about our dubious shooting or was in fact a fact, we burned a lot of powder and littered the Argentine turf with much more lead than meat. Our first afternoon and the next morning were really frustrating. The doves seemed faster than our American mourning doves, and maybe a little smaller. What a mediocre shot doesn't need is the psychological downer of a more challenging target. And sky-busting with number eight shot gave us another alibi. But before the hunt was over, our shooting had at least improved to almost average.
Our bird boys knew very little English, but broke out in understanding laughter as Vicky thanked them the last evening in broken Spanglish and hand gestures for having not laughed at our shooting. After all, we should have been popular with them – they had fewer birds to pick up. But practice makes perfect, and we had plenty of the former. The birds were there. I had seen pictures and videos, but could not believe the concentrations. A TPWD dove biologist the U.N sent there to advise the Argentineans agreed. It even beat Don Lanford's at its best, and Valley whitewing shooting in the old days! By the last morning, the bird boys had even begun expecting us to score on each shot. The hunt surpassed our wildest expectations.
We booked the hunt through the Detail Company, the Houston outfit that generously donated the trip to the McBride Banquet that Jack Nash and his team bought. They are going in September, and there's still time to join them and fill the lodge with Woods & Waters folks. Juan Jose, at Sierra Brava Lodge, where we stayed, said the hunting in their spring (our fall) is the best. We went when our schedule permitted, and loved the cool, fall weather there in June. Go when you can! Stay as long as you can! The Buenos Aires culture and night life, the fabulous food, the intriguing wine country of Mendoza near the Chilean border, the gracious Argentine people and, of course, the best wing shooting on Earth, combine to make this the trip of a lifetime. We're already planning a do-over. Come see the pictures and hear more at the July 5 luncheon.


Keen to further work in Film and stage as a character actor.
has to be more of an addition to vocal and visual appearance work.
Excellent team player, enthusiastic and reliable.
Keen to encourage younger members of the industry.
Aim is to enjoy the art and the creativity for many more years.

Impeccably fresh, with new leather, cranberry and fresh orange peel greeting the nose. The palate is soft and juicy, transitioning to strawberry and nectarine framed by coriander seed and powdery earth. Pale garnet in the glass with lilac reflections, this is primary but elegant.

California has long been the New World's most important and prodigious wine producing regions, with a history which stretches back to the 18th century and the Spanish pioneers who settled here. Today, California produces vast quantities of wine, and if it were a country, it would be the fourth largest producer of wine on earth. Despite experiencing many problems in the mid 20th century, including a very serious blight which almost crippled the state's wine industry, the ideal terroir and excellent climate ensured that Californian wines soon became the envy of the New World once again. California produces a vast range of wines, and utilizes a long list of fine grape varietals, with many wineries and their produce more closely resembling those of France and other Old World countries in regards to character, practices and flavors
The first European settlers to consider growing grapevines in the United States must have been delighted when they discovered the now famous wine regions within California, Oregon and elsewhere. Not even in the Old World are there such fertile valleys, made ideal for vine cultivation by the blazing sunshine, long, hot summers and oceanic breezes. As such, it comes as little surprise that today more than eighty-nine percent of United States wines are grown in the valleys and on the mountainsides of California, where arguably some of the finest produce in the world is found. However, American wine does not begin and end with California, and due to the vast size of the country and the incredible range of terrains and climates found within the United States, there is probably no other country on earth which produces such a massive diversity of wines. From ice wines in the northern states, to sparkling wines, aromatized wines, fortified wines, reds, whites, rosés and more, the United States has endless surprises in store for lovers of New World wines.
Appellation: Sonoma Valley
Since the 1850s, Sonoma Valley has been recognized as one of the United States' most important and productive wine regions. Any visitor to the region will quickly understand just why Sonoma Valley has had so much success over the past hundred and fifty years, as the region benefits enormously from the wonderfully hot and dry climate it receives, alongside mineral rich soils, geological features such as thermal springs. Furthermore, the region has a rich wine heritage which gives the region a sense of pride and a determination to consistently put quality above quantity, and to make the most of the wide array of red and white wine grape varietals which flourish there. The Valley of the Moon, as it is affectionately named, is now widely understood to be home to many of North America's finest wines, and this is set to continue for many years to come.


Matt Campbell has a terminal cancer and is submitted to an experimental treatment in the St. Michael's Hospital Goatswood in Connecticut. The responsible for the trial, Dr. Brooks, advises that if Matt starts seeing things, he should drop from the trial. His religious mother Sara drives almost eight hours with her son since he has nausea and needs to vomit during the travel. She proposes her husband Peter, who had trouble with booze, to rent a house in Connecticut to be close to the hospital despite their second mortgage. Sara finds an old house with an affordable price and she questions the catch to the owner and he explains that the house has a history, since it was a funeral home in the past. Sara hides the truth to Peter and the family moves to the house. While in the treatment, Matt befriends Reverend Popescu, who has also cancer. When Matt has weird visions and nightmares from the past, he calls Popescu that tells him that an evil entity is trapped in the house and they are able to see him because they are in the borderline of the worlds of the living and the dead.
Rated PG-13 for some intense sequences of terror and disturbing images.
What if the only explanation for what you saw was unbelievable?
Matt Campbell: Mom, if I die... Sara Campbell: No! You won't. [she turns and hurries out of the room] Matt Campbell: [under his breath] ... it's not your fault.
[telling a joke] Matt Campbell: Doctor says to patient, "You have cancer and you have Alzheimer's." Patient says to doctor, "Wooo! At least I don't have cancer."
Sara Campbell: [sobbing while praying] No, you can't have him! You can't take my son!
Wendy: But what about you? Matt Campbell: I'm already dead.
[reciting a poem] Matt Campbell: One bright day in the middle of the night, two dead boys got up to fight. Back to back they faced each other, drew their swords and shot each other. A deaf policeman heard the noise and came and killed those two dead boys.
Based on the story featured in the Discovery Channel documentary "A Haunting in Connecticut".
In the original story, the one trapped in the bathroom curtain is Sara and not Wendy.
The movie is loosely based on the real life stories of Al and Carmen Snedeker who lived in a reportedly haunted former funeral parlor in Southington, Connecticut.
The story was first featured in the novel "In A Dark Place: The Story of a True Haunting" written by Ray Garton.
The character of Reverend Popescu was supposedly based on John Zaffis, an investigator who worked on the case.


The Lutheran Church confesses that the Bible is God's Word, in every part. It is our pastors' responsibility to preach God's Word: the condemning and instructing Law in all of its parts, as well as the justifying and comforting Gospel in all of its aspects.
In some places (notably, Canada) it is now illegal for citizens in general to teach some parts of what the Bible says. You might think that such a law could never pass in the United States, where our freedoms of speech and religion are protected by the First Amendment. However, you should be aware that a movement has been afoot in our government to pass just such a law.
I don't think our churches should be politically-oriented, because that's not our mission. However, when the political part of our land transgresses into the realm of biblical teaching, I must at least inform you about it, so that you can do what your conscience dictates as a voting Christian citizen and a constituent of our representatives in Congress.
According to [this "watchdog" group](http://www.capwiz.com/afanet/callalert/index.tt?alertid=13736111), so-called "hate crimes" legislation will soon be voted on in Congress. Reportedly, this vote is its only real hurdle to becoming law. If it were to become law, the door would be opened to a new kind of religious persecution, in which faithful teachers of God's Word could be targeted by the justice system for teaching what the Bible says about gender.
According to those who favor such things, a "hate crime" occurs when someone commits a regular crime against another person, but in special circumstances. To make it a "hate crime," the victim must be a member of a group of people especially targeted by the perpetrator. It seems the only groups considered by Congress for special protection are homosexuals and the disabled, but *not* religious adherents such as Jews, Catholics, or Lutherans.
Some think that condemning homosexuality as sin is truly hateful, but they could not be more wrong. Is it hateful to warn someone that his behavior is self-destructive, and will lead to eternal punishment? No, it's the loving thing to do, especially because there is forgiveness and healing in Christ for all who repent.
I won't tell you what to do about this, but I will remind you that our elected representatives answer to their constituents. Our representatives will listen to us, because we can vote them out. At the same time, you can be sure that the vocal minority of homosexuality advocates are sending all the encouragement they can to Washington. They have been organized, and have been following this strategy for some time.
I will post this in the newsletter/blog space on our web site.

Bud Roach, on Capella Intima
Jenna Simeonov Apr 10, 2015
Tenor and guitarist Bud Roach is the founder of Capella Intima, an ensemble of singers and instrumentalists that has "carved out a niche for itself in the Toronto early music scene." Known for their work with 17th century Italian Baroque music, Capella Intima is joining forces with theGallery Players of Niagara for their next performance on March 6th at the Trinity-St. Paul Centre, which includes Henry Purcell's Dido and Aeneas. Bud Roach has a huge passion for what he does, and he was kind enough to answer a few of my questions about his work in Early Music (spoiler: he's in it for the foul language).
1. Where did your passion for Early Music come from?
I had a real epiphany when I participated in the Tafelmusik Baroque Summer Institute. My musical training in school was on the oboe, and I worked with orchestras, both Canadian and American, for a number of years before I started singing. So back in 2006, when I was just starting out as a tenor, the world of Carissimi and Monteverdi was all very new. My voice seemed to be suited to composers like Bach and Handel, but the earlier my exploration went, the more fascinated I was by the turn of the 17th century, and how the groundwork was laid for what we now think of as the principals of Western music. That basic idea of conveying text in an emotional, meaningful way for an audience is something I find incredibly appealing – and challenging! And the performance tradition of this "New Music", as Caccini labelled it, was self-accompanied, which has been the most satisfying part of my Early Music inquiry. Singing to my own accompaniment on the Baroque guitar is the furthest musical point from playing a Mahler symphony or Strauss tone poem in an orchestra. But it's endlessly interesting to me now, because of this whole new world of the beginnings of tonality. It's as though my formal education as an oboist excluded some of the most exciting parts of our Western musical heritage – almost like an English major whose reading list starts a full century after Shakespeare!
2. How have singing and guitar become balanced parts of your work as a musician?
I don't think of myself as a "real" guitarist (and most guitarists would agree!). I'm a singer specializing in the performance traditions of the early Baroque, and that means learning an instrument well enough to provide my own accompaniment. Of course it's possible to sing in a stylistically compelling way without strumming or plucking at the same time, as almost all singers do, but I've found that the best way to figure out how to make this music as freely expressive as the composers clearly intended is to work it all out as a solo performance. And now that I've done this for a little while, with a couple of recordings and many solo concerts under my belt, I have a much clearer sense of how to approach any repertoire, whether it be sacred music, opera, solo, or ensemble. As far as my work as a musician, I can certainly attest to the fact that seventeenth-century alfabeto arias are NOT paying the bills! However, my efforts have been noticed internationally, and the feedback has been universally encouraging, so I will continue down this path, and see where it takes me.
3. You mention that audiences can get "context" from performances of 17th century music that "has only come to light in recent years" with a revival of Early Music interest. Can you elaborate?
This quote from the Capella Intima website actually refers to the use of readings in some of our concerts. Probably the best example of this would be a programme of music by Benedictine nuns from Milan ("Celestial Sirens") that we have revived several times. The work of composers like Maria Cozzolani has only re-emerged in the last decade or so, thanks mainly to the efforts of one particular scholar. Cozzolani composed with a very unique voice. She was published, and her music was widely known. Today most concertgoers do not even recognize her name, let alone understand how remarkable her accomplishments were. Incorporating readings from the period can really help to convey to an audience the cultural, and specifically musical, climate at the time.
The 17th century was a period of great change in musical styles, but we hear so little of it in concert that it can be difficult to really get a sense of how it all fits together. Composers like Vivaldi did not just appear out of nowhere. He inherited much of his harmonic and rhythmic language from the composers of generations before. What Capella Intima attempts to do is fill in some of these gaps, outside of what is thought of as the "standard" repertoire.
4. How do you go about choosing a programme for Capella Intima?
Capella Intima programmes always start with a trip to the library. Often those visits spark an interest in a specific direction that requires some online hunting, which seems to become easier every month, since people are sharing scores, and libraries are digitizing their collections. One of my favourite places to visit (both online and in person!) is the Biblioteca della musica in Bologna. If you show up at this library prepared, knowing what it is you need, and take no breaks at all, it is possible to leave at the end of the day having taken about 2,000 photographs of scores! And the people there are so kind and helpful. In virtually every book I've seen that deals with the music of the Italian Baroque, the authors thank the staff of this library for their generosity, and it makes me smile when I think of these librarians, and this very special place.
From that point, I just look over the part-books (most works were never published in full score, so you can only see the soprano part in one book, the continuo line in another, and so on) and see what jumps off of the page. Sometimes it's a melodic motif that I think is interesting, or a text that grabs my attention. And then…lots of time at the computer, creating a clean edition. Then I usually have a few visits with my friend Gabriele Erasmi, who does all of the Italian and Latin translations. He, too, has been extremely generous, and his guidance continues to be an invaluable part of Capella Intima's development. A core principal of the ensemble is to present the unfamiliar. It's a completely different concert experience for an audience to hear a piece of music for the first time, and this sort of presentation really interests me. It does make our concerts a tougher sell than programmes of Bach or Handel, but the reward for doing all of the organization and administration for Capella Intima is the ability to choose the repertoire I really want to do. Putting together unique programmes with great people is a very musically satisfying experience!
5. What do you look forward to about your upcoming Dido and Aeneas? You mention this concert is a "departure"; how so?
Well it is most definitely new ground for us. For a start, this is the very first time that Capella Intima has presented a concert in English! And secondly, it will be our first programme where most of the audience is familiar with the main work. When it comes to Dido and Aeneas, this is hardly a Toronto premiere! And yet, this has been a very happy challenge to put together. The first time that we know Dido was done in concert was not, as you might think, in these current days of no time and little money. It was actually performed in concert in 1787, and this is the sort of performance that we are trying to recreate. At the same time as popular concerts featuring "Antient Music" were being presented, the taverns were full of music provided by Singing Clubs. Catches, rounds, and glees were all the rage, so our first half consists of some of Purcell's more popular airs, interspersed with interesting bits from the period of this first, concert performance of Dido and Aeneas. Most of these short pieces are on a "musical" theme – and most of them unknown – with one notable exception that includes a lot of foul language. So everyone should come out on Friday, even if it's just for the swearing!

Now Reading Real Quiet: A Nose From Triple Crown Glory
Real Quiet: A Nose From Triple Crown Glory
April 29th, 2018 by Tom Pedulla
Real Quiet wins the 1998 Kentucky Derby before adding a Preakness victory and coming up just short in the Belmont. (Blood-Horse photo)
Real Quiet did not look or act the part of a champion early in his career. He was so crooked up front that he sold to Michael Pegram for only $17,000 as a yearling in 1996. He was so lacking in girth that his trainer, Bob Baffert, jokingly nicknamed him "The Fish."
On the track early in his career, Real Quiet might as well have been swimming. He sure was not doing much running. He needed seven starts before he broke through with the first victory of his career, at old Hollywood Park at a distance of eight and a half furlongs. The son of Quiet American won only two of nine starts as a 2-year-old, but that second victory served notice that he was a force to be reckoned with in the future as he topped speedy Artax in the $1 million Hollywood Futurity.
"Once he started running classic distances, he was the ugly duckling who turned into a swan," said Pegram. "He grew into a big, beautiful horse. When he was young, he was narrow up front and he was crooked up front."
Real Quiet could not have been more on his game than he was for the Triple Crown races. When jockey Kent Desormeaux asked for his all in the Kentucky Derby, the bay colt responded with a tremendously explosive move. No one could match his burst. It was the same in the Preakness.
There is no faulting Real Quiet for a nose loss in the Belmont Stakes, the narrowest margin to keep a horse from the historic Triple Crown sweep. When Desmormeaux asked his mount for more in the mile-and-a-half Belmont, the horse responded with his customary surge.
Real Quiet tore around the final turn and began to put the competition behind him, by one length, two lengths, three lengths and then four. He seemed to be home free as the enormous crowd cheered every stride, convinced it was watching the coronation of the first Triple Crown champion since Affirmed in 1978.
Announcer Tom Durkin was beside himself with excitement:
"Twenty years in the waiting, one furlong to go!" Durkin exclaimed. "But here comes his rival, Victory Gallop. As they come to the final sixteenth, Kent Desormeaux imploring Real Quiet to hold on. Victory Gallop, a final surge. It's going to be very close! Here's the wire! It's too close to call! Was it Real Quiet or was it Victory Gallop?"
Real Quiet leads Victory Gallop late in the Belmont stretch. (Blood-Horse photo)
The wait for the examination of the photo finish seemed interminable. Had Real Quiet hit the wire a flash before Victory Gallop? Did Victory Gallop's last desperate surge get him there? Even with the benefit of television replay, it was difficult for the naked eye to separate the rivals.
Then came the news that was so difficult for Real Quiet's fans to swallow. "It was the ultimate head bob," Pegram said.
The dispiriting finish will always be remembered as one of the most exasperating defeats in racing history, one that led Desormeaux to be widely second-guessed. Did he move too soon? Should he have waited a couple of beats longer in a race that seemingly goes on forever?
Pegram has studied the replays. There are no easy answers. But any anguish he felt left him long ago. "I'm at peace with it," he said. "And the reason I'm at peace with it is because Real Quiet never knew he got beat. When he got back to the barn, he was prancing. He just didn't know why he didn't go to the winner's circle."
In all, Real Quiet cracked the top three in 17 of 20 lifetime starts, winning six with five second-place finishes and six third-place showings. He earned $3,271,802 before a fracture in his right front leg during his 4-year-old season ended his career.
He enjoyed modest success as a sire before he died in a paddock accident at Penn Ridge Farm near Harrisburg, Pa., on Sept. 27, 2010. He was 15.
Pegram chooses to remember the triumphs rather than one gut-wrenching defeat. "He was the horse of a lifetime," he said.
Real Quiet was produced by a Colombian breeder, Eduardo Gaviria, and grew up in Florida.
Became first horse in 50 years to win Preakness and later the Pimlico Special at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore.
George Hofmeister purchased his breeding rights the month before the Kentucky Derby.
Produced Real Spicy, a top runner in the Philippines.
Michael Pegram, owner of Real Quiet, now stands top progeny Midnight Lute, a sprint champion.

This is the only one country I have ever heard about the toll gate in city road.
What's is going on. It should be free for using city road and this is the city development council's responsibility. Why citizen need to pay for that. Are city council member crazy or the citizen doesn't know about the right?
Aren't they have a brain? It is the eco-friendly by using bicycle and also very cheap and convenient for normal citizen to travel within city. It is the basic transport for our citizen.

Gig Preview: The Cookers in Gateshead & Manchester November 14/15
The Cookers, a supergroup if ever there was one, are only playing 4 UK dates during their European tour and the North is lucky enough to host two of them - Sage Gateshead on November 14th and then at Band on the Wall in Manchester on November 15th.
Collectively, this is a band with over 250 years playing experience and over 1,000 albums released. If that isn't worth braving the cold November nights for, I don't know what is.
From The Cookers website...
Billy Harper, Cecil McBee, George Cables, Eddie Henderson, and Billy Hart all came up in the heady era of the mid '60s. It was a period that found the dimensions of hard bop morphing from their original designs, and each of these guys helped facilitate the process as members of some of the most important bands of the era. Hart and Henderson were members of Herbie Hancock's groundbreaking Mwandishi group; Cecil McBee anchored Charles Lloyd's great '60s quartet alongside Keith Jarrett and Jack DeJohnette; Billy Harper was part of Lee Morgan's last group, as well as being a member of Max Roach's Quartet and Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers; while George Cables held down the piano chair in numerous bands including groups led by Sonny Rollins, Joe Henderson, Freddie Hubbard, Dexter Gordon and Art Pepper.
David Weiss and Donald Harrison, from a more recent generation and the youngest members of the band, are experts in this forthright lingo, having gained experience performing with Art Blakey, Bobby Hutcherson, Freddie Hubbard, Charles Tolliver, Roy Haynes and Herbie Hancock.
The band have been together for 7 years and these two dates are sure to be unmissable - a band made up of musicians that played integral parts in jazz history coming together to create something new.

Poll Finds Faith in Obama, Mixed With Patience Article Tools Sponsored By By ADAM NAGOURNEY and MARJORIE CONNELLY Published: January 17, 2009 President-elect Barack Obama is riding a powerful wave of optimism into the White House, with Americans confident he can turn the economy around but prepared to give him years to deal with the crush of problems he faces starting Tuesday, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News Poll. The latest on the inauguration of Barack Obama and other news from Washington and around the nation. Join the discussion. While hopes for the new president are extraordinarily high, the poll found, expectations for what Mr. Obama will actually be able to accomplish appear to have been tempered by the scale of the nation's problems at home and abroad. The findings suggest that Mr. Obama has achieved some success with his effort, which began with his victory speech in Chicago in November, to gird Americans for a slow economic recovery and difficult years ahead after a campaign that generated striking enthusiasm and high hopes for change. Most Americans said they did not expect real progress in improving the economy, reforming the health care system or ending the war in Iraq — three of the central promises of Mr. Obama's campaign — for at least two years. The poll found that two-thirds of respondents think the recession will last two years or longer. As the nation prepares for a transfer of power and the inauguration of its 44th president, Mr. Obama's stature with the American public stands in sharp contrast to that of President Bush. Mr. Bush is leaving office with just 22 percent of Americans offering a favorable view of how he handled the eight years of his presidency, a record low, and firmly identified with the economic crisis Mr. Obama is inheriting. More than 80 percent of respondents said the nation was in worse shape today than it was five years ago. By contrast, 79 percent were optimistic about the next four years under Mr. Obama, a level of good will for a new chief executive that exceeds that measured for any of the past five incoming presidents. And it cuts across party lines: 58 percent of the respondents who said they voted for Mr. Obama's opponent in the general election, Senator John McCain of Arizona, said they were optimistic about the country in an Obama administration. "Obama is not a miracle worker, but I am very optimistic, I really am," Phyllis Harden, 63, an independent from Easley, S.C., who voted for Mr. Obama, said in an interview after participating in the poll. "It's going to take a couple of years at least to improve the economy," Ms. Harden added. "I think anyone who is looking for a 90-day turnaround is delusional." Politically, Mr. Obama enjoys a strong foundation of support as he enters what is surely to be a tough and challenging period, working with Congress to swiftly pass a huge and complicated economic package. His favorable rating, at 60 percent, is the highest it has been since the Times/CBS News poll began asking about him. Overwhelming majorities say they think that Mr. Obama will be a good president, that he will bring real change to Washington, and that he will make the right decisions on the economy, Iraq, dealing with the war in the Middle East and protecting the country from terrorist attacks. Over 70 percent said they approved of his cabinet selections. What is more, Mr. Obama's effort to use this interregnum between Election Day and Inauguration Day to present himself as a political moderate (he might use the word "pragmatist") appears to be working. In this latest poll, 40 percent described the president-elect's ideology as liberal, a 17-point drop from just before the election. "I think those of us who voted for McCain are going to be a lot happier with Obama than the people who voted for him," Valerie Schlink, 46, a Republican from Valparaiso, Ind., said in an interview after participating in the poll. "A lot of the things he said he would do, like pulling out the troops in 16 months and giving tax cuts to those who make under $200,000, I think he now sees are going to be a lot tougher than he thought and that the proper thing to do is stay more towards the middle and ease our way into whatever has to be done. "It can't all be accomplished immediately." While the public seems prepared to give Mr. Obama time, Americans clearly expect the country to be a different place when he finishes his term at the end of 2012. The poll found that 75 percent expected the economy to be stronger in four years than it is today, and 75 percent said Mr. Obama would succeed in creating a significant number of jobs, while 59 percent said he would cut taxes for the middle class. The survey found that 61 percent of respondents said things would be better in five years; last April, just 39 percent expressed a similar sentiment. The telephone survey of 1,112 adults was conducted Jan. 11-15. It has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points. The poll suggests some of the cross-currents Mr. Obama is navigating as he prepares to take office, and offers some evidence about why he has retooled some of his positions during this period.

Source: Thrillist Sure, sure, sure. This war's been waged a thousand times, but we found 10 reasons why Montreal trumps the "t-dot" (which is a stupid name, btw) and we didn't even have to use low-blow examples like Rob Ford, Toronto's "sports" teams, or that shining moment when former mayor Mel Lastman called in the military that time it SNOWED IN THE WINTER. 1. Better bagels, poutine, smoked meat, and sandwiches. Let's just start by getting this out of the way. Montreal is home to one of the best sandwiches in the world, the best bagels in the world, the greatest poutines, and the best smoked meat. Eat that Toronto. 2. You can drink anywhere in Montreal, all the time. Yes, you can legally drink in public in Montreal as long as you're eating food. And since Montreal has the best Canadian food in the country, that technicality is pretty much a friendly reminder. Heck, you can't even drink alcohol on a licensed patio in Toronto after 11p. 3. Obtaining alcohol to drink in public is easier. In Montreal, wine and beer are sold in dépanneurs, the greatest corner stores in the world, until 11p, the time most Torontonians are climbing into bed. Also? The beer here is better in general. 4. "Joie de vivre". People from Toronto don't even know what this means, partly because it's French, and partly because Montreal is legitimately one of the happiest places in the world, and Toronto isn't. And on that subject... 5. Fun isn't illegal in Montreal. This is not hyperbole. Montrealers are often found frolicking joyously in parks whilst flying kites, having civilized outdoor dinner parties wherein alcohol is consumed, or joining a hippie drum circle on the side of the mountain. All of the above are literally illegal in Toronto. Toronto has a problem with fun (for those too lazy to follow that link, it's a Toronto newspaper describing how the city's denizens have to go to Montreal to have anything resembling a good time). 6. All the best parties happen in Montreal. People from around the world come to Montreal for the Jazz Fest, Osheaga, Just For Laughs, Igloofest, etc., or to just take in Montreal's famously awesome nightlife scene. 7. Montreal has a mountain Sure it ain't no Mt. Everest, but at least our mountain isn't made of garbage (Chinguacousy Hill, I'm looking at you), and it means we have way better snow sports. 8. The cost of living will cost you almost nothing. Montrealers live in beautiful, penthouse-sized apartments with large balconies, and it costs them what a Torontonian pays for their monthly subway pass. And talking of the subway... 9. Montreal's award-winning metro system actually makes sense. Who in the hell designed Toronto's subway system? The impractical waste of money that is called the TTC basically amounts to a straight line running through a narrow "U" shape. And a monthly pass costs about twice as much as one in Montreal. 10. Montreal isn't a sprawling suburban wasteland. The Greater Toronto Area is where Torontonians who have given up on life go move into cookie-cutter houses and burden themselves with the worst commute in North America.

Teenage years can feel like being on a roller coaster where emotions are high one day and low the next.
This is not only due to hormonal changes, but also life changing experiences such as dealing with peers and peer pressure, school studies, increased responsibilities and most commonly, relationship issues.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama was rushed to the Max Hospital New Delhi on Tuesday morning from Dharamshala when he faced light cough and chest pain. After being admitted at the private hospital, His Holiness has recovered from the chest infection and said that his feeling almost normal.
According to the personal spokesperson of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, the 83 year old spiritual leader has resumed his normal schedule from Thursday morning and in the morning of Friday at 8 o'clock, he has been discharged from the hospital. He added that His Holiness is doing very well now.
People from around the world offered their deep concerns and prayers for speedy recovery of the 83 year old spiritual leader. Many Tibetans have also urged for the providing more time to rest for His Holiness by extensively minimizing public engagements that he presently engaged with.
