I think I first really got into tragedy when I was about nine or ten, perhaps even younger.  I used to stay at my nan’s flat some weekends and she’s take me down to the video shop and let me chose pretty much whatever I liked.  I watched Robocop again and again, and all the Swarzenegger films, but what I liked best was films about Vietnam.  There was a whole slew of them at one time  - Hamburger Hill, Full Metal Jacket, Born on the Fourth of July – and they were all really grim.  My nan was a wonderful...

Tennis is a game of skill, stamina, strategy and tactics, and in doubles tennis, there are two key tactics which will increase your chances of winning every match.

Hi guys, hope all of you are doing well in this summer. This Kolkata heat is enough to cook a full meal without fire I guess. Okay, today I am going to show you all what I got in MY ENVY BOX APRIL2016 edition. So, let’s just jump right in.

About My Envy Box: My Envy Box is basically a subscription box which comes with samples from luxurious brands. My Envy Box is based out of New Delhi and launched our services in ...

A very close friend of mine asked me to be his agent earlier today and I kind of freaked out. Not because I didn’t think I could do it, but more because said friend has been around a whole lot longer than I have, and has been able to do a whole lot of cool stuff in the music industry over the years. This got me thinking about the role of agents and managers in the music industry, and why and when you should seriously consider ...

一. There are few joys greater than a slow Sunday with little to no direction and that’s just what today has been. Rising early, sorting out the pup, tucking in to the first of several coffees for the day and pottering around with the London Marathon on in the background... I’m the very forgetful sort of human that wanders into a room and that has already ...

In polite conversation with Mr DBCR on here and with one of my cousins it struck me that the very idea of a 'free trade deal' is nonsense.  Trade is free, end of.

So post BREXIT all Cameron has to do (assuming he's still there shudder) is to stand up in the House of Commons and say, "Right, we're open for business. The UK is now, unilaterally, a free trade nation".

Next he gets on a 'plane ( suggest first stop Eire) and meet the Toaiseach.   " 'Ere, Enda.  Free Trade?  Yeah?  Wanna ...

Colleen Kochivar-Baker's stellar comment here yesterday, in response to the story about Michael Voris revealing his gay past that I posted on Friday:

Well, that read like an AA testimony. Gay/bisexual boy repenting on mother's death bed is the stuff from which legends are made. Voris very much reminds me of the Donald....a walking talking personality disorder. It's one thing to have a personal conversion and praise God every other sentence, but it's quite another to make a very good living... Читать дальше...

Hooah!

Via CNN: A U.S. Army captain working in Iraq helped foil a terrorist plot to blow up a school in Denmark, according to a U.S. defense official.

Capt. Bradley Grimm provided “actionable intelligence” gleaned from captured documents in Iraq about foreign fighters from Denmark that included information on threats against a Danish school using homemade explosives, according to Col. Steve Warren, a spokesman for the coalition fighting ISIS.

“The information he provided... Читать дальше...

John 13:1-5, 12-15, 21-22, 26, 31, 33-35

Before the feast of Passover,
Jesus knew that His hour had come
to pass from this world to the Father.
He loved His own in the world
and He loved them to the end.
So, during supper, fully aware that
the Father had put everything into His power
and that He had come from God and was returning to God,
He rose from supper and took off His outer garments.
He took a towel and tied ...

WHAT IT'S ABOUT

It is a few days left until I move into my apartment in London; an exciting, scary, and new stage I’ll enter. Although moving doesn’t sound exciting to everyone (the stress of carrying luggage, and transferring things to another address etc…), this is the first apartment that I acquired and will live on my own – so its a big deal that I get it “right”.  And maybe soon I’ll have a housewarming to show off the new digs once I paint and stuff.

Feelings:

AND WE ARE DONE! I only took a really small nap this time, and managed to finish off three separate books so I am feeling really good about what I have accomplished this time around. Thanks for the fun times guys!

We can never control the outcomes of our activism, we can only decide what it is we want to put out into the world. The best we can do is give people opportunities to question their own biases and preconceived notions, what they do with those opportunities are entirely on them.  Different people respond to different things which is why it’s not important that we all do activism the same way, but rather that we each do it in our own authentic way.

I have been fairly obsessed with Edgeworthia chrysantha since the moment I first saw one.  They have the most amazing scent and flower early enough in the year to mean that they will not go unnoticed.  I have owned several and I have killed a few (but then again, too few to mention...).  I had one that lived in a pot quite successfully for years until I moved to this house.  I then planted it in the garden and killed it.  I think I tried again after that to no avail so this one that I bought in 2013...
