It is always about money. “Don’t buy red meat, smoked foods, sprayed vegetables, nuclear power, U.S. timber, fertilized rice or inorganic fruit. Instead, send the money you save to the ANTI’s so they can fight the evil producer.”

“>Building a safe deck requires research, proper hardware, and almost always the assistance of a professional builder or inspector. Of the 50 million decks in North America, it’s estimated that only half meet building code requirements.

Pigs are funny. Nobody would argue about that. There are people that collect them. Pictures of them, memorabilia, statuettes, door stops, curtains, pig clocks, wallpaper, pig tails, piggy banks, pigweed, pick stickers, piglets, pig-eyed piebalds and pygmies. In the homes of a pig collector you are surrounded by pig knick knacks.

“Rollforming of sheet metal plays an integral role in the building and construction of commercial and industrial structures and in the automotive industry, which we have not ventured into yet.”

Leading an international cadre of musicians, New York based, Chennai born singer, composer and violinist Harini "Rini" Raghavan creates her own version of Indian electronica. Harini draws from her formal training in Carnatic music and work at Berklee College of Music in Electronic Production to bring together sounds and music of her birthplace in India and her home in the US. An experienced performer and recording artist, she has recorded and performed with Grammy winning composers A.R.Rahman and Bill Whelan, and headlined prestigious festivals and venues in US and India, including Boston Symphony Hall, Lincoln Center and the United Nations General Assembly. Rini has released two EP’s worldwide – ‘Kural’ and ‘Alone in the Blue’ – on Spotify, Google Play, Amazon and other digital outlets to critical acclaim, including a feature in Rolling Stone India. "With her powerful, often ferocious mezzo-soprano, carnatically-influenced violin lines, Raghavan led the group through a dynamic set that blended Trans-Siberian Orchestra pomp with distantly macabre early ELO and even more towering cinematics." – New York Music Daily "Chennai-bred singer and violinist Harini S Raghavan has made … (read more)

 Arguably the most inspiring figure in Australian rugby league and considered by many the greatest player the code has produced, Churchill played virtually the entire match with a broken arm, winning the game with a sideline conversion after the bell with his smashed arm wrapped in cardboard and dangling at his side, so bad he needed someone else to set up the kick for him. Souths went on to win the grand final, although Churchill was unable to play.

And when you hear the civilized, what comes to mind? English barristers wearing wigs? Nobility dueling and drinking tea? Miss Manners?

As a special treat they’d have thrown a few Rocky Mountain oysters on the hot rock for hors d’oeuvres. I can just see the young, single, upwardly mobile Pilgrim girls gigglin’ and gnawin’ on a piece of javelina haunch. Toasts would have been made to all the greats: Christopher Columbus, John Smith, John Alden, James Fenimore Cooper, Wilford Bromley, Bob Wills, Sir Walter Raleigh, Lee Pitts, Kaycee Feild, Pocahontas, and Francis Scott Key. No cowboy gatherin’ would be complete without a fiddle. The cowboys might have taught ‘em the two-step and the cotton-eyed Joe. The Pilgrims would reciprocate with the minuet and Turkey in the Straw.

He did – fatefully – get onto the field. Early in the match it looked like Manly would stretch its winning run over Newcastle to 12 when they led 10-nil after 25 minutes, 16-8 at half-time and 16-10 with less than 10 minutes to go, despite the kamikaze efforts of Newcastle captain Paul Harragon, inspired by coach Malcolm Reilly’s whispered words “You don’t get sent off in grand finals”. 

Good music is felt not heard. Gramatik apparently understood that at an age of 3 according to his mother as she used to catch him glued to the radio in his older sister’s room whenever there was an old funk or rhythm & blues joint on, tapping his leg on the floor along with the beat. Damn, talking about a sign on what will your child do when he grows up! Parents got him taking piano lessons in the elementary music school when he was in 2nd grade, but he dropped out 2 years later because he wasn’t feeling that whole classical music thing as that was the only genre they were teaching. He later got some private piano lessons, learning the stuff he wanted to learn to play like Beatles and Rhythm & Blues in general. He and a few of his 4th grade classmates formed a band and became the youngest band in the history of his elementary school, playing school events on the regular. When he got to 7th grade he discovered Hip-Hop and felt totally overtaken and compelled by it’s elements, especially by the power of the rhythmically accented poetry(RAP). He soon left the band, started writing and became an MC. His friends were amazed by his flow and delivery since there were no hip-hop artists… (read more)

and I was onto the heels of the runners in front of me. But I couldn’t afford to give up my prime position.
