Is hype around the All Blacks out of all proportion in this country? Alex Braae went along to the first squad naming of the year to see just how big a deal it all is, and talk to a player with a unique perspective on it all.
About two dozen journalists attend a typical prime ministerial post-cabinet press conference. But rugby in New Zealand is a bit more important than that, and gets the media attention to match. For the first All Blacks squad naming ceremony of the season, at least twice as many people were there to see it.
Journalists, broadcasters, camera operators, media liaisons, techs, the aptly named Grand Tearoom at the Heritage hotel was swarming before the players and coaches even turned up. Sky TV was going to go live with the squad naming – in the past various radio stations have taken it live too. A nation awaited. Soon, they would know the names of the men who would do battle against France – a clash that has in the past been sold through the bombing of the Rainbow Warrior.
The coaches, in immaculate suits, strode into the room with purpose and immediately all the journalists were in the chairs. An expectant hush hung in the air – almost as if a conductor was about to lead an orchestra through an opera.
But when chairman Brent Impey opened his mouth, it wasn’t to sing, but to intone in a stern, clear voice the names of those who had been anointed. And when he finished, he handed over to head coach Steve Hansen to take questions, after first commiserating with those who hadn’t been selected in a funereal tone.
Reporters patiently waited to respectfully ask their questions, rather than the wild free for all of political standups. And as it was my first time attending such an event, I had been warned beforehand to take it very seriously. “A couple of muppets went along and took the piss mightily thinking they were being funny, fucked off the ABs and other media, and were banned next time they showed up,” said a former colleague. Suffice to say, I took his advice. And it’s fair enough for the regular rugby media to not want people to screw up their day jobs, because after all, All Blacks stories almost always out-rate everything else by a country mile.
Steve Hansen may have smiled once during the question and answer section – I was watching him fairly closely and didn’t see any, but may have looked away at the crucial moment. At the end, the writers stood deep in thought, absorbing the revelations, while the TV and radio journalists started getting set up for their standups and one on one interviews. That’s when the players themselves started getting amongst. A few debutantes, a few old hands, and all seemingly the most relaxed people in the room.
And of those players, by far the loosest in the shoulders was Sonny Bill Williams. He who has weathered unimaginably intense media shitstorms in multiple countries and multiple codes, been hailed as a genius, damned as a traitor, and everything in between. If anyone could put this all in perspective, surely it would be him. I got in the line for a few minutes one on one.
How’s the fast going? (Sonny Bill Williams is currently fasting for Ramadan)
Good bro, it’s going good.
It’s not too difficult to keep training while you’re doing it?
Ah, it’s been tough. Not eating or drinking and you’ve got to train pretty strenuously, so it is going to be tough. In previous years I’ve done it where it’s just been, just about getting through it. I’ve seen it as a bit of a hassle. But this year I’ve really tried to take the mindset of fasting in the stomach, but feeding my soul. So that’s my buzz at the moment.
So, this is actually my first squad naming announcement, and it’s a pretty serious business.
Oh yeah, did you forget to brush your hair this morning brother?
Uh, no, no, that’s um, that’s just what it looks like…
All good, all good. I’ve got no hair so….
I just mean, does the seriousness of these sort of situations ever get to you at all?
Not at this age bro, no.
When you were younger?
Yeah of course, obviously. It’s intimidating coming into this room and seeing so much media, the coaches, players you’ve only seen on TV or played against briefly. But, at this stage I try to take the emotion out, see it how it is and just be grateful to still be playing for the All Blacks.
Do you ever feel like the seriousness of these sort of things is out of proportion at all?
Oh, I think rugby in general in New Zealand is out of proportion. There are a lot of more important things in the world going on. But, it’s our national game and it is what it is. For myself, I see it as a blessing that rugby’s part of my life. It doesn’t define me, I don’t get my masculinity from being a good rugby player. I get it from being a good person, a good man, a good husband, a good father. That’s my mindset now.
But in saying that, I’m fortunate to get paid well to play for the All Blacks, and do what I love. The flipside is that I’ve got family members that are labourers for a living, you know? Living paycheque to paycheque. I’ve been brought up in Housing Commission houses, no wallpaper on the house, so I understand that. And I think it just comes from experience and age, that you understand that rugby’s not the be all and end all.
Right, so what keeps you going then? I’m not saying retirement, but…
Well I am 32 so it’s a legitimate question. But I’m still loving what I’m doing, the candle is still burning, I’m signed to New Zealand for another year next year, and whatever happens after that happens. But I’m just enjoying the ride, trying to make it a meaningful existence, and it was a good point you touched on before about how serious this occasion this is. You’ll have seen other things that you take more seriously than this, so I think just understanding that’s what life is about.
It’s just finding what your journey is, and what is meaningful, and that’s the buzz I’m on. But let’s not get it twisted bro, it’s an honour to be in the All Blacks, and it’s a privilege to be here. I’m just looking forward to meeting the new boys and hearing their journeys.
So with that in mind, are there any of those new players that really stand out for you?
Jordan Taufua, I’ve played with him a couple of times back with Counties. If you ever do an interview with him ask him about his pre-match warmup, it’s legendary. He almost has a game before the game starts. It’ll be interesting to see how he goes, because he’s a good man.

WARSAW — The Animal Welfare League of Kosciusko County finds itself over capacity and the no-kill shelter is seeking people willing to adopt some of its cats and dogs.
Executive Director Tonya Blanchard said that because they are at maximum capacity, they have lowered their adoption rates for adult dogs and cats, which make up most of their population.
“We are hoping this will be an incentive for the public to come out and see our available pets, who are more than ready to be adopted into warm and loving homes,” she said.
The AWL has dogs and cats of many breeds, ages and personalities.
For September only, according to a flyer provided, the adoption fee for adult dogs is $75 (50% off). Each additional dog is $50.
The adoption fee for adult cats is $50, and each additional cat is $25.
The Animal Welfare League is a nonprofit organization, and located at 1048 S. CR 325E, Pierceton.

CROWN POINT, Ind. (AP – April 17, 2015) — Indiana prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against a Gary man charged in the slayings of two women and suspected in the deaths of five others.
Lake County Prosecutor Bernard Carter filed a request Friday seeking the death penalty for Darren Dean Vann if he’s convicted in the deaths of 19-year-old Afrikka Hardy of Gary and 35-year-old Anith Jones of Merrillville.
The Post-Tribune of Merrillville reports (http://trib.in/1HfGC81 ) Vann didn’t attend Friday’s hearing.
Lake Superior Court Judge Diane Ross Boswell also granted prosecutors’ motion to combine the two murder cases.
Vann’s attorney, Teresa Hollandsworth, opposed the motion, arguing that joining the two cases would be highly prejudicial to her client. She said Jones’ strangulation appears to be a murder-for-hire and not a rage killing as prosecutors contended in their filing.

Huawei all set to replace Android with its own operating system
Android might soon cut ties with the Chinese smartphone maker.
The situation between Chinese smartphone maker Huawei and the US government has almost reached a boiling point. And, it's very likely that the US might completely ban Huawei services in the country, citing security concerns.
Apart from supplying communications equipment, Huawei is also a renowned smartphone maker with the US being one of its major markets. If the company is forced to shut its operation in the US, there's a possibility that Google will cut ties with the firm which also means no Android for Huawei smartphones.
The operating system has been rumored for a long time now, but Huawei has now confirmed its existence through the South China Morning Post, saying it could see the light of day if they are forced to cut ties with Android or Windows. This might be the last resort, but given the situation between the two entities, it doesn't come as a surprise.
Huawei started working on the operating system back in 2012 after the US banned ZTE from using American products and services. AS of now, the company still has Android and Windows as its primary focus. "We fully support our partners' operating systems -- we love them and our customers love them," a company spokesperson told South China Morning Post.
Besides, Huawei has also filed for a new patent that shows a smartphone that sports a secondary display on the rear panel, reports LetsGoDigital. Well, this is just a patent and there's no certainty that the device will make it to the production stage. However, it will be interesting to see how Huawei makes it different from other devices that come with dual displays.

Akira was a lot of fun to watch. The characters are reasonably interesting and the futuristic / rebuild "Neo-Tokyo" setting is quite good (although not unheard of these days, with all the futuristic / post-apocalyptic settings).
Giving a proper description of the story is a difficult feat. It's a combination of government conspiracies, ESP powers, motorbike-gangs, mystery and mindfuck. There was just so much going on! Long story short: I enjoyed it, laughed at the simple minded and yet highly successful gang leader, and thought the entire thing was build up pretty well. They could've easily made a 13-episode show out of this and still keep up a good pace. It´s definitely not a show to watch drowsy; good attention span required!

Installed in a matter of minutes.
1.Push the outside corner of the factory mirror into the mirror shell.
2.Pull out the mirror on the other side. just yank. There is only one snap that you're pulling on.
3.If you have heated mirrors, unplug the harnesses and remember which color goes to which. 4.Plug in your heated mirror connectors if you have the option.
5.Snap the new mirror into the port.
I know this sounds vague, but there is nothing to this.
For cars without heated mirrors, all you need are "heated mirrors" imagine that, and vag-com. see bottom of thread for details.
Total install time: 5 minutes.
They look sweet, you can tell they're amber even when they're not on.
1.Find your two access doors on the inside off your trunk, one on either side. Flat head to remove. The access door on the P side is tied to the car, you won't loose it. The access door to the D side is not, so be careful.
2.Inside you'll find a 13mm plastic bolt, with a small flat head inside. Use either or to remove, I used a flat head that was wide enough to only sneak in. This made it very tight Tip: this is important b/c you don't want to loose this bolt, if it falls down, you'll be removing your spare tire to get it.
3.Once you get this long bolt untightened, pull it out with a steady hand.
4.Now you can pull the taillight assembly from inside out, then pull the two tabs out (which are on the outside). I took a pic of the rear of the light, so you can see the 3 points. The long bolt, and 2 tabs.
5...Unplug, switch and reinstall your new light. Very easy.
Total Install Time: D side 5 minutes. P side 65 minutes...
I had to remove my custom enclosure to reach the access door! This was frustrating, but gave me a chance to shoot the enclosure which I never did.
Could the magnet be any larger on this sub? It must weigh 18 lbs.
In this pic of the blind spot mirrors: I didn't do this on purpose but it shows how effective they are.
I was standing practically next to the mirror, with my arm out to take the pic. And you can see my red sweatshirt in the mirror.
I must admit, a lot of these installs are cake. headlamp/fog bulp upgrades, euro switch, euro tails, blind spot mirrors, etc, etc. Very easy stuff.
Thanks to DVAG member Bassbiker!
The coding is in the door control modules (42 - driver door, 52 - pass door)
It all depends on what your current coding is. I have the cold wx package and my coding is 1209 for both front doors.
Here's the coding chart from VAGCOM label file for the driver's door:
C00,Door Electronics Driver (J386) Coding
C01,+0000001 - Rear Lid Remote Unlock Button (E233)
C02,+0000002 - Ambient Mirror Illumination
C03,+0000004 - Mirror Turn Signals
C04,+0000008 - Interior Door Handle Illumination installed
C05,+0000016 - Automatic Run active
C06,+0000032 - Mirror Heater installed
C07,+0000064 - Door Exit/Warning Light installed
C08,+0000128 - 5-Door Chassis
C09,+0000256 - Seat Memory installed
C10,+0000512 - Right Hand Steering
C11,+0001024 - Safe-Motor not installed
C12,+0002048 - Pinch Protection inactive
Here's the full label file from VAGCOM website:http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-c...N.lbl
I'd assume that those without the cold wx pack might have a code of 1177
If that is the case, you just add 32 for MIRROR HEATER INSTALLED
Now if your current code is 1209, you're configured to use the mirror heaters, but still not sure if the wiring is all in place within the door to actually supply power to it.
Page 98 of the owner's manual states "Turn the rotary knob to 0"
"Depending on outside temperature and vehicle speed, the mirror surfaces are heated until the ignition is switched off"
No need to push forward on the knob
You can also turn on the heated mirrors by hitting the rear defroster button. Very handy for morning ice removal routine.

Bengaluru: Experts now say that ignoring the fact about community spread acted as a roadblock for testing and helped the virus to spread. Testing people who had a travel history to Covid-affected nations in its first months allowed the virus to spread, a report says.
The report called ‘Covid in India’, written by three important researchers, says that the virus might have spread through infected people who went without a test in the first days.
Dr Giridhara R. Babu, professor of Life course Epidemiology at the Public Health Foundation of India in the city, Gautam I Menon, professor of physics and biology at the Ashoka University, Sonepat and Dr Bhramar Mukherjee, professor and chair of biostatistics at the University of Michigan School of Public Health, US wrote the report.
This meant testing was, in the initial months, restricted to international travellers returning from Covid-affected nations and their contacts and not anyone who reported symptoms of Covid, the report says.
The government’s denial posed a problem until ICMR said anyone with influenza-like illness or severe acute respiratory infection could be tested for Covid, experts feel.
“Until April, possible carriers were not isolated,” Menon told the Times of India.
The Indian government did well compared to the US and UK, although those countries are ranked better in pandemic preparedness, Dr Babu said. There is evidence that medical certification of the cause of death, limited even before the pandemic, led to many deaths being misclassified, the report says.
A better measure of mortality can be obtained by estimating the excess deaths as compared to general mortality in other years and comprehensive historical death data where available. That does not mean there is misclassification of Covid deaths.
Dr Babu said, “This could be true of other deaths attributed to Covid. The report is a commentary based on our inferences.”

Previews and Openings
‘Between Riverside and Crazy’ (previews start on Friday; opens on Feb. 11) Stephen Adly Guirgis’s rich new play — about a man of many grudges in a rent-controlled apartment — resides somewhere south of cozy and north of dangerous. Stephen McKinley Henderson leads a cast in embodying characters who are utterly believable and not to be believed. Austin Pendleton directs this play, which is returning to the stage after a successful run at the Atlantic Theater Company last summer. Second Stage Theater, 305 West 43rd Street, Clinton, 212-246-4422, 2st.com. (Ben Brantley)
‘Everybody Gets Cake!’ (previews start on Friday; opens on Jan. 23) The physical theater company Parallel Exit returns with this sweet-tooth comedy, a surreal tribute to silent film funnies and “Adult Swim” gags, directed by Mark Lonergan and performed by Joel Jeske, Danny Gardner and Brent McBeth. But will there be actual edible, available cake? And will that cake be frosted? Let’s hope. 59E59 Theaters, 59 East 59th Street, 212-279-4200, 59e59.org. (Alexis Soloski)
‘Film Chinois’ (previews start on Saturday; opens on Thursday) Set in 1940s Beijing — or Peking, as we once called it — Damon Chua’s espionage drama centers on a naïve American spy who becomes entangled with a particularly fatal femme, Chinadoll, his Chinese counterpart. Kaipo Schwab directs the noirish intrigue for Pan Asian Repertory Theater. Beckett Theater at Theater Row, 410 West 42nd Street, Clinton, 212-239-6200, panasianrep.org. (Soloski)
‘Hamilton’ (previews start on Tuesday; opens on Feb. 17) Lin-Manuel Miranda descends from the Heights to the base of the New Jersey Palisades for his latest work. A hip-hop history of the United States’ hunkiest founding father (sorry, James Madison), the story follows Alexander Hamilton from his birth in the West Indies through his storied political career to his ignoble death below the Weehawken cliffs. Thomas Kail, also of “In the Heights,” directs a cast of two dozen, with Mr. Miranda as Hamilton. Public Theater, 425 Lafayette Street, at Astor Place, East Village, 212-967-7555, publictheater.org. (Soloski)
‘The Human Symphony’ (previews start on Thursday; opens on Jan. 28) Is there a dating site that caters to fans of experimental theater? In Dylan Marron’s play, the Neo-Futurists offer a participatory look at love online. The script, culled from real-life interviews with romance-minded New Yorkers, will be performed by audience members, equipped with mp3 players and guided by Mr. Marron. New Ohio Theater, 154 Christopher Street, West Village, 888-596-1027, nyneofuturists.org. (Soloski)
‘I’m Gonna Pray for You So Hard’ (in previews; opens on Tuesday) The playwright and actress Halley Feiffer (daughter of the cartoonist Jules Feiffer) has earned many stellar reviews. But in her new play, directed by Trip Cullman, the actress Ella (Betty Gilpin) is apprehensive about reading the write-ups for her latest show in the company of her famous playwright dad (the inimitable Reed Birney). Maybe some intergenerational drinking will help? Atlantic Stage 2, 330 West 16th Street, Chelsea, 866-811-4111, atlantictheater.org. (Soloski)
‘Into the Woods’ (in previews; opens on Thursday) Do James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim’s woods seem a little less populous? That’s because the Roundabout Theater Company has engaged the acclaimed Fiasco Theater troupe to perform the musical with just 10 actors and a piano. Reviewing the show’s run last year at the McCarter Theater Center in Princeton, Ben Brantley wrote, “true to form, the Fiasco team continues to keep things simple, the better to bring out the material’s complexity.” Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theater, 111 West 46th Street, 212-719-1300, roundabouttheatre.org. (Soloski)
‘Let the Right One In’ (previews start on Tuesday; opens on Jan. 25) Vampires don’t seem especially susceptible to cold, which is lucky for the adolescent heroine of this snowy Swedish succubus story, based on John Ajvide Lindqvist’s novel and screenplay. A hit in London, this tale of supernatural teenage love from the National Theater of Scotland is directed by John Tiffany, with associate direction and movement direction by Steven Hoggett. St. Ann’s Warehouse, 29 Jay Street, at Plymouth Street, Dumbo, Brooklyn, 718-254-8779, stannswarehouse.org. (Soloski)
‘A Month in the Country’ (in previews; opens on Jan. 29) Will the stars of water cooler television make for must-see theater? The Classic Stage Company’s revival of Ivan Turgenev’s 1855 comedy features Peter Dinklage of “Game of Thrones” and Taylor Schilling of “Orange Is the New Black” alongside Anthony Edwards and Annabella Sciorra. The director Erica Schmidt offers the tale of a handsome tutor who troubles hearts and minds on a country estate. 136 East 13th Street, East Village, 212-352-3101, classicstage.org. (Soloski)
‘Nevermore: The Imaginary Life and Mysterious Death of Edgar Allan Poe’ (in previews; opens on Jan. 25) After runs at the Barbican theater in London and the New Victory, this biographical musical about America’s poet laureate of all things eerie arrives at New World Stages. The show’s writer, Jonathan Christenson, directs a cast of seven — to say nothing of the ravens, black cats and telltale hearts. 340 West 50th Street, Clinton, 212-239-6200, nevermoreshow.com. (Soloski)
‘Shesh Yak’ (in previews; opens on Jan. 29) The Arab Spring may have yielded to other, more fraught seasons, but this play by Laith Nakli, produced by Rattlestick Playwrights Theater and Lailou Productions, takes place in those heady days of 2011. Zarif Kabier and Mr. Nakli star as Syrian expatriates coming to terms with their present and past in a New York apartment. Bruce McCarty directs. Rattlestick Playwrights Theater, 224 Waverly Place, at 11th Street, Greenwich Village, 866-811-4111, rattlestick.org. (Soloski)
‘Winners’ (in previews; opens on Thursday) Though the government deemed certain institutions too big to fail during the financial crisis, who was looking out for the much littler ones? In Maggie Bofill’s comedy, directed by Pamela Berlin, a single family teeters on the edge of collapse. So the children and pets have to put the clan’s finances and spirits back in the black. Ensemble Studio Theater, 549 West 52nd Street, Clinton, 866-811-4111, ensemblestudiotheatre.org. (Soloski)
‘Wyoming’ (in previews; opens on Monday) The playwright Brian Watkins, whose prairie gothic two-hander, “My Daughter Keeps Our Hammer,” ran at the Flea Theater last year, returns to dark doings in wide-open spaces with this new work. Presented by Lesser America, this tale of a fraught Thanksgiving dinner is directed by Danya Taymor. Theater for the New City, 155 First Avenue, at Ninth Street, East Village, 212-868-4444, lesseramerica.com. (Soloski)
‘Aladdin’ Casey Nicholaw (“The Book of Mormon”) directs and choreographs (and choreographs, and choreographs) the latest Disney musical, adapted from the 1992 animated movie. While the familiar formulas are not entirely abandoned, Mr. Nicholaw and the book writer, Chad Beguelin, stuff so much splashy, shticky business into this show that the more syrupy bits hardly register. James Monroe Iglehart stands out as the showboating, scene-stealing genie (2:20). New Amsterdam Theater, 214 West 42nd Street, 866-870-2717, aladdinthemusical.com. (Charles Isherwood)
‘Cabaret’ Only a decade after it closed, Sam Mendes and Rob Marshall’s popular, audience-teasing reincarnation of this classic musical feels as if it never left us. Alan Cumming seems to be having the time of his life reprising the creepy, tragic M.C., a role he redefined for the ages. In her Broadway debut, Emma Stone is scintillating as an attention-addicted Sally Bowles (2:30). Studio 54, 254 West 54th Street, 212-719-1300, roundabouttheatre.org. (Brantley)
★ ‘Constellations’ Who knew that higher physics could be so sexy, so accessible — and so emotionally devastating? Nick Payne’s gorgeous two-character drama, starring a perfectly matched Jake Gyllenhaal and Ruth Wilson (directed by Michael Longhurst), may be the most sophisticated date play ever. The classic boy-meets-girl story receives the quantum multiverse treatment (that’s parallel universes to you), to heart-clutching effect (1:10). Samuel J. Friedman Theater, 261 West 47th Street, 212-239-6200, constellationsbroadway.com. (Brantley)
★ ‘The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time’ Simon Stephens’s adaptation of Mark Haddon’s best-selling novel, about an autistic boy’s coming-of-age, is one of the most fully immersive works ever to wallop Broadway. Be prepared to have all your emotional and sensory buttons pushed. Marianne Elliott (“War Horse”) directs the excellent cast, led by Alex Sharp, and the dazzling technical team (2:25). Ethel Barrymore Theater, 243 West 47th Street, 212-239-6200, curiousonbroadway.com. (Brantley)
‘A Delicate Balance’ Though embodied by the stellar likes of Glenn Close and John Lithgow, the angsty suburbanites at the center of Pam MacKinnon’s revival of Edward Albee’s existential drawing-room drama have the flattened dimensions of specimens under glass. The cast (with the welcome exceptions of Clare Higgins and Bob Balaban) seems to be giving us the play instead of living it (2:45). John Golden Theater, 252 West 45th Street, 212-329-6200, telecharge.com. (Brantley)
★ ‘Disgraced’ Ayad Akhtar’s tense, turbulent Pulitzer Prize-winner about the clash between Islamic faith and modern culture comes roaring onto Broadway with a superb, mostly new cast under Kimberly Senior’s taut direction. Hari Dhillon gives a coiled, stealthy performance as the Pakistani-born, well-heeled and thoroughly assimilated New Yorker whose assumptions about his identity are shaken when his complacent life comes unraveled. Gretchen Mol is excellent as his artist wife, and Josh Radnor (“How I Met Your Mother”), Karen Pittman and Danny Ashok give fine support (1:25). Lyceum Theater, 149 West 45th Street, 212-239-6200, disgracedonbroadway.com. (Isherwood)
‘The Elephant Man’ Bradley Cooper distorts himself with self-obliterating grace in this sturdy revival of Bernard Pomerance’s instructive, carefully arranged drama about a freak of nature in Victorian England. But the most emotionally involving performance comes from Alessandro Nivola as a surgeon suffering a crisis of faith. Scott Ellis directs a cast that also includes an eccentric Patricia Clarkson (1:55). Booth Theater, 222 West 45th Street, 212-239-6200, elephantmanbroadway.com. (Brantley)
‘Hedwig and the Angry Inch’ Michael C. Hall plays an “internationally ignored song stylist” of uncertain gender in John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask’s 1998 rock musical about love and loss. (Mr. Mitchell takes over the role on Wednesday.) Michael Mayer directed this mightily entertaining exercise in crowd control (1:30). Belasco Theater, 111 West 44th Street, 212-239-6200, hedwigbroadway.com. (Brantley)
‘If/Then’ This new musical from Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey (“Next to Normal”) is a gleaming drawing board of a show, full of polished surfaces and clearly drawn lines. The shiny-voiced Idina Menzel portrays a conflicted urban planner pondering two different roads her life might have taken. The show feels less like a variation on a theme than a dogged reiteration of it (2:35). Richard Rodgers Theater, 226 West 46th Street, 877-250-2929, ifthenthemusical.com. (Brantley)
‘It’s Only a Play’ Names drop like hailstones in this revised revival of Terrence McNally’s comedy about the anxious opening night of a Broadway turkey. Celebrity performers (including Matthew Broderick and Stockard Channing) sling a lot of mud at other celebrities, sometimes hilariously. Jack O’Brien directs with gusto this fizzy, overlong work that eventually goes flat. Martin Short has taken over for Nathan Lane in the role of a former stage star turned TV actor (2:30). Through Sunday at the Schoenfeld Theater, 236 West 45th Street; performances resume next Friday at the Bernard Jacobs Theater, 242 West 45th Street, 212-239-6200, itsonlyaplay.com. (Brantley)
‘The Last Ship’ A shipbuilding town in decline is the setting for this earnest, ambitious musical with a wonderful score by Sting (who is now starring), and a somewhat diffuse book by John Logan (“Red”) and Brian Yorkey (“Next to Normal”). Fine performances — notably Michael Esper as the wayward son and Rachel Tucker as the love he left behind — enliven the proceedings, as does the atmospheric production directed by Joe Mantello (2:25). Neil Simon Theater, 250 West 52nd Street, 877-250-2929, thelastship.com. (Isherwood)
‘Les Misérables’ It’s back — again. Capitalizing on the popular movie, Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil’s musical, about the French fellow who steals a loaf of bread and lives to regret it, storms Broadway in a new production. Ramin Karimloo, as the long-suffering bread-stealer, and Will Swenson, as his relentless foe, give sterling performances (2:50). Imperial Theater, 249 West 45th Street, 212-239-6200, telecharge.com. (Isherwood)
★ ‘On the Town’ John Rando’s take on this merry mating dance of a musical from 1944, about sailors on shore leave, feels as fresh as first sunlight. With airborne choreography by Joshua Bergasse, the production presents a parallel-universe New York where hectic urban life acquires the grace of a storybook ballet. It’s a bustling, jostling cartoon that floats like a swan (2:35). Lyric Theater, 213 West 42nd Street, 800-982-2787, ticketmaster.com. (Brantley)
‘The River’ Playing a withholding man in a woodland cabin in Jez Butterworth’s cryptic tease of a play, Hugh Jackman squelches his natural urge to ingratiate and ascends to a new level as a stage actor. Comparable claims cannot be made for Mr. Butterworth’s willfully enigmatic drama, though it has been beautifully staged by Ian Rickson. Expect to leave hungry (1:25). Circle in the Square Theater, 1633 Broadway, at 50th Street, 212-239-6200, theriveronbroadway.com. (Brantley)
★ ‘You Can’t Take It With You’ A lot of shows make you laugh. But Scott Ellis’s felicitous revival of Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman’s 1936 comedy about an improbably happy family has you beaming from curtain to curtain. The delicious assorted nuts onstage include James Earl Jones, Kristine Nielsen and the sly comic genius Annaleigh Ashford (2:20). Longacre Theater, 220 West 48th Street, 212-239-6200, telecharge.com. (Brantley)
★ ‘Bayside! The Musical’ Attending this bawdy, ridiculous, unauthorized parody of the harebrained sitcom “Saved by the Bell” is a bit like going to a midnight screening of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” given the many inside jokes and synchronized audience responses. Audience members know the material so well because half the humor comes from merely reproducing every ludicrous plot twist and trope from the TV show (including Zack’s giant cellphone, Becky the Duck and other allusions that will be familiar to longtime fans). The other half of the humor is just good old-fashioned raunch, usually playing up the horrifying ways to reinterpret a squeaky-clean children’s show (2:00). Theater 80, 80 St. Marks Place, East Village, 212-388-0388, baysidethemusical.com. (Catherine Rampell)
‘The Bullpen’ Joe Assadourian, who served 12 years in prison for attempted murder, wrote and stars in this very funny one-man show about the characters he met while awaiting his trial (1:05). Playroom Theater, 151 West 46th Street, 212-967-8278, stepinthebullpen.com. (Ken Jaworowski)
‘Disenchanted’ In this musical comedy for grown-ups, Cinderella, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty lead a fairy-tale-princess revue aimed at upending their popular portrayals as damsels in distress. But this is feminism light, and when the princesses rail against princes who expect them to do all the housework, the show feels like a girls’-night-out retro rebellion for the suburban oppressed (1:40). Theater at St. Clement’s, 423 West 46th Street, 866-811-4111, disenchantedmusical.com. (Laura Collins-Hughes)
★ ‘Every Brilliant Thing’ A charming alternative to “It’s a Wonderful Life” as a seasonal catharsis for those who get weepy in the winter, Duncan Macmillan’s monologue of a play, performed by Jonny Donahoe, describes a boy trying to come up with reasons to live for his suicidal mother. Directed by George Perrin, this ingenious production offers sentimentality without shame (1:00). Barrow Street Theater, 27 Barrow Street, at Seventh Avenue South, West Village, 212-868-4444, barrowstreettheatre.com. (Brantley)
★ ‘50 Shades! The Musical’ When it comes to potential for satire, E.L. James’s she-porn best seller, “50 Shades of Grey,” seems as easy a target as you could shake a sex toy at. That said, this exuberant takeoff handily delivers the goods, barreling along with a score steeped in show tunes, R&B, gospel and Gilbert and Sullivan, and lyrics packed with references to various practices and orifices. “This is real life; this isn’t a book,” says Ana, the show’s heroine, to her tycoon suitor. “If it was, it would be terrible.” It certainly would. But “50 Shades!” is a musical parody, and a very entertaining one (1:30). Elektra Theater, 300 West 43rd Street, Clinton, 212-352-3101, 50shadesthemusical.com. (Andy Webster)
★ ‘Ghost Quartet’ Spirits rise in all sorts of ways in this rapturous little show by Dave Malloy (“Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812”), a four-person, happily haunted song cycle that speaks in many tongues. “Mash-up” doesn’t begin to describe its breadth of musical styles or narrative sources, which ingeniously reinvent our favorite tales from the crypt (1:30). The McKittrick Hotel, 530 West 27th Street, Chelsea, 866-811-4111, mckittrickhotel.com. (Brantley)
‘iLuminate’ More spectacle than story, “iLuminate” offers technology as its most dazzling star. Conceived, produced and directed by Miral Kotb, a former software engineer, the show employs about a dozen talented, indefatigable young actor-dancers, encased in black suits wired with digitally controlled lights. Performing in total darkness to a score combining hip-hop, jazz and classical influences, they portray the tale of an artist whose magic paintbrush is stolen for evil ends. Much of the action is like a neon comic book, but it does have its magic moments (:55). New World Stages, 340 West 50th Street, Clinton, 212-239-6200, iluminate.com. (Laurel Graeber)
★ ‘Rock Bottom’ The fearless, funny Bridget Everett bares it all, and then some, in this cabaret-style show, returning to Joe’s Pub after a short run there in the fall. Sex and booze, and Ms. Everett’s tumultuous experience with both, are prominent themes in this R-rated evening, directed by Scott Wittman and featuring ribald songs by Ms. Everett, Mr. Wittman and his writing partner Marc Shaiman, both of “Hairspray,” as well as Adam Horovitz and Matt Ray (1:35). Joe’s Pub, 425 Lafayette Street, at Astor Place, East Village, 212-967-7555, joespub.com. (Isherwood)
‘Sex Tips for Straight Women From a Gay Man’ Matt Murphy’s one-act is a blend of a bachelorette party at Chippendales and the embarrassing midnight show at some tourist trap in Pigalle. It has a talented cast, but it is no “Queer Eye” (1:20). 777 Theater, 777 Eighth Avenue, at 47th Street, 888-841-4111, sextipsplay.com. (Anita Gates)
‘Soul Doctor’ This musical odyssey — which has returned to the stage after a short run on Broadway — examines the life of “The Singing Rabbi,” Shlomo Carlebach, a key figure in popular Jewish music, and his friendship with Nina Simone. Directed by Mindy Cooper, the show has a book by Daniel S. Wise and lyrics by David Schechter. Actors Temple Theater, 339 West 47th Street, Clinton, 212-239-6200, telecharge.com. (Isherwood)
‘Wiesenthal’ This interesting though occasionally long-winded one-man show (written by and starring Tom Dugan) looks at the life of the Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal (1:30). Acorn Theater at Theater Row, 410 West 42nd Street, Clinton, 212-239-6200, wiesenthaltheplay.com. (Jaworowski)
‘Winners and Losers’ A frisky theatrical symposium in which all manner of people and things — the Occupy movement, Sylvia Plath, Stephen Hawking — are classified as one or the other by the two Canadian writers and performers, Marcus Youssef and James Long. Gradually the games turn antagonistic, as the two begin discussing inequities in their lives (1:30). Soho Rep, 46 Walker Street, TriBeCa, 212-352-3101, sohorep.org. (Isherwood)
Off Off Broadway
‘Horse Girls’ If gore and gratuitous, giggle-laced meanness is your thing, Jenny Rachel Weiner’s mad, dark comedy about girls gone wild (for horses) isn’t a bad way to spend an hour. Don’t come looking for nuance (:50). The Cell, 338 West 23rd Street, Chelsea, 800-838-3006, horsegirlstheplay.com. (Claudia La Rocco)
‘My Son the Waiter: A Jewish Tragedy’ Brad Zimmerman’s solo show about almost three decades of working in restaurants while not becoming a famous actor and his Jewish mother’s shame is low-key, half-familiar, half-mordant and pretty delicious (1:30). Stage 72, 158 West 72nd Street, Manhattan, 212-868-4444, mysonthewaiter.com. (Gates)
★ ‘Smoke’ Kim Davies’s play about two young New Yorkers in a kitchen at a sex party is intense, provocative and exceedingly clever, with two exceptional performances by Stephen Stout and Madeleine Bundy. A study of power, it argues that sex is exactly like every other kind of human interaction, except maybe funnier (1:15). Flea Theater, 41 White Street, TriBeCa, 212-352-3101, theflea.org. (Gates)
‘Fuerza Bruta: Wayra’ The latest bit of sensory-overload brand extension from the creators of “De la Guarda” is a shiny, ever-shifting kinetic spectacle bent on disorientation. A high-volume, augmented remix of “Fuerzabruta,” this energetic show is rife with not-especially-impressive acrobatics, throbbing music, many-colored lights and high winds from machines set at storm speed (1:20). Daryl Roth Theater, 20 Union Square East, at 15th Street, 212-239-6200, fuerzabrutanyc.com. (Collins-Hughes)
‘Queen of the Night’ The latest and most lavish of this city’s immersive theater experiments includes cocktails, a meal and a circus-style floor show, in addition to any number of possible intimate, eroticism-tinged (but PG-13) encounters with the comely young cast members. The show is not for those prone to social anxiety, but it’s full of gaudy spectacle, with a fin-de-Bloomberg-era vibe (2:45). Diamond Horseshoe at the Paramount Hotel, 235 West 46th Street, 866-811-4111, queenofthenightnyc.com. (Isherwood)

‘Wicked’ Oz revisited (2:45). Gershwin Theater, 222 West 51st Street, 800-745-3000, ticketmaster.com.
‘Ancient Lives’ (closes on Saturday) When the adventurous theater auteur Tina Satter heads into the woods, don’t expect anything like a classic fairy tale. An impressionistic, multimedia account of a charismatic teacher (Lucy Taylor) who takes her students on a sylvan holiday, this production blends cross-cultural ingredients into a smooth, hallucinogenic cocktail, laced with percolating hormones and lots of visual wit (1:20). The Kitchen, 512 West 19th Street, Chelsea, 212-255-5793, thekitchen.org. (Brantley)
‘Dying for It’ (closes on Sunday) Moira Buffini’s adaptation of “The Suicide,” a 1928 play by Nikolai Erdman, fails to find much robust humor in the story of an unemployed man in postrevolutionary Russia (Joey Slotnick) who finds himself a host of new friends (or rather exploiters) when he vows to kill himself (2:00). Linda Gross Theater, 336 West 20th Street, Chelsea, 866-811-4111, atlantictheater.org. (Isherwood)
‘Motown: The Musical’ (closes on Sunday) This show is a dramatically slapdash but musically vibrant joy ride through the glory days of the Detroit music label founded by Berry Gordy. Mr. Gordy’s book is sketchy and obvious — you want to plug your ears whenever the music stops. But the music is, of course, some of the greatest R&B ever recorded, and the performers mostly electric (2:40). Lunt-Fontanne Theater, 205 West 46th Street, 877-250-2929, ticketmaster.com. (Isherwood)
‘Rock of Ages’ (closes on Sunday) Big hair, thrashing guitars and inspired humor augment dreams of rock stardom in this jukebox musical, which transferred to Broadway in 2009 with the songs of ’80s acts like Journey, Pat Benatar, Bon Jovi, Starship, REO Speedwagon and Poison (2:25). Helen Hayes Theater, 240 West 44th Street, 212-239-6200, telecharge.com. (Isherwood)

Green fashion hits Vancouver on Feb. 22
At the upcoming Eco Fashion Week, both style and sustainability are required. Top eco-designers from across the globe will be converging on Vancouver for four days to display their environmentally friendly clothing, accessories and shoes during this fashion expo.
The affair, which lasts from Feb. 22 to Feb. 25, will feature a diverse schedule of 32 exhibitors and 22 designers. All the designers in the event consider environmental sustainability, through using recycled, organically grown and locally produced products in their collections.
“My personal hope is to bring more awareness to sustainable fashion in Canada and inspire more fashion designers and artists to strive forward in this moment,” said Jeff Garner, the designer of Prophetik and the 2010 Eco Men’s Designer of the Year, “and showcase how sustainable fashion can be truly translated on the catwalk.”
With his use of natural fibers and dyes, recycled dresses and decision to grow his own plants, Garner—who is presenting on Feb. 25—is right at home at Eco Fashion Week.
Garner is not the only one with high hopes.
“I hope that Eco Fashion Week helps to expand the mind of the general public of what eco fashion actually is,” Kim Cathers, a participating designer whose show will be on Feb. 23, said “(and) break the mold that ‘eco’ means bohemian or hippy.”
Her personal eco practices include using reclaimed fabrics and producing everything within Vancouver.
PurpleNeon via Eco Fashion Week
Centering on education, celebrating responsible principles and identifying sustainable practices, organizers hope EFW will lead to encouraging the development of eco-conscious fashion and lead the way toward the dawn of a more green age.
The idea came about when Myriam Laroche, founder of Eco Fashion Week, attended Vancouver’s Sustainable Living Expo, EPIC, and heard about the city’s Green Action Plan. Something just clicked. This, she believed, would be the way for the fashion industry in Vancouver to make its mark – and for eco-fashion to take off.
Participating designers take the idea of ethical clothing seriously, considering every step from producing to marketing.
“We look for those who partake in fair and ethical trade,” Evie Ponce, vice president of Eco Fashion Week, said, “where the goods are produced locally and have a small eco-footprint … We like to work with designers who focus on organic/natural textiles, recycled, reborn and vintage materials.”
The shindig gets off to a roaring start with a private gala reception, hosted by presenting sponsor AVEDA, on Feb. 22. VIP passes can be purchased for $85, and individual show tickets are $20. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www.ecofashion-week.com.

The move was made Thursday, days after the president signed a $1.6 billion contract to keep Carrier’s 1,200 workers at the plant.
The deal with Carrier was negotiated with the Obama administration.
Trump had been looking to keep the Indianapolis manufacturing facility, which is owned by United Technologies, open, but had been reluctant to offer a similar contract.
Carrier’s parent company, United Technologies of America, said in a statement Thursday that the deal was a major step forward.
“This contract ensures our employees can continue to work in the Carrier manufacturing facility for years to come, and we are thrilled to work with President Trump and Vice President Pence on furthering economic growth and job creation,” United Technologies CEO Gregory Hayes said in the statement.
Carrier is the largest employer in Indiana and employs about 1,000 people in the state.
The president has repeatedly criticized the company and other companies that have moved manufacturing jobs overseas, saying that they hurt wages and jobs in the United States.
The Carrier deal comes as Trump has signaled a willingness to consider a trade deal with other countries, saying last week that he wants to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
The company said the new agreement would provide a “strong incentive” to keep jobs in Indiana, a company that is one of the nation’s largest exporters of auto parts.
Trump is in a precarious position in the U.S. with regard to his own economic agenda, having signed the most-expensive executive order in U.K. history last week, slashing the nations trade deficit and sparking a global trade war.
Trump has repeatedly said he will not renegotiate NAFTA.
The agreement with United Technologies comes a week after Trump announced a $7 billion deal to help Carrier expand its operations.


With the Microsoft Surface Laptop 2's launch just a couple of days away, new rumours online are now suggesting that the notebook and the upcoming Surface Pro 6 might be absent of a particular port. The Redmond, Washington-headquartered company has a launch event scheduled for October 2 in NY where the new Surface devices are likely to debut. Both the Surface Laptop 2 and Surface Pro 6 will have the same designs as their predecessors, although there is one novelty and that is color.
Microsoft's event will take place on October 2 at 4PM ET (1:30am IST, October 3).
Black Surface accidentally leaked by Microsoft
A Surface event is scheduled for today, October 2. Both the Surface Pro 6 and the Surface Laptop 2 will be pre-installed in the consumer versions of Windows 10 in S-mode.
According to WinFuture, there's no major Surface redesign planned for this year. There's not even USB-C support in store for the new devices, something that's always been missing.
Ohio State rally stuns Penn State
Both teams are undefeated, and the Buckeyes have won four of the last five meetings, including a 39-38 thriller last season. That, as Franklin eluded to, was an example of the Buckeyes getting their athletes in space and letting them make plays.
"With this update, we'll be bringing new features and enhancements to the almost 700 million devices running Windows 10 that help people make the most of their time", Roanne Sones, Corporate Vice President, Microsoft wrote in a blog post last month. It looks like Microsoft has officially confirmed earlier reports that claimed that the new Surface lineup will be launched in a black colour variant. And the top-end models will feature 16GB of RAM and an Intel Core i7 processors.
"In April 2012, Microsoft launched the Surface RT, its sleek black chassis, detachable keyboard and integrated kick stand started a wave of innovation that has no signs of slowing down", Microsoft detailed in a New Zealand invite. Hopefully, however, this is all prelude to some price cuts that bring the Surface Laptop down to a price worth paying for. Among all the Surface devices, only the Surface Book 2 comes with a USB Type-C port built in.
American, Japanese cancer researchers share Nobel Prize in medicine
For decades researchers had been trying to figure out effective ways to use the body's own immune system against cancer. Honojo's lab discovered when they injected antibodies against PD-1 that cancer cells could no longer dupe the T-cells.
It is likely that the Surface Laptop 2 will also look identical to the Surface Laptop, which was announced a year ago.
Microsoft already had a black Surface years ago, but for the past five years it only offered silver models.
Iraq 'regrets' U.S. decision to close consulate in Basra
Iran rejected what it called the U.S. "propaganda and false accusations", insisting it condemned any attacks on diplomatic sites. USA officials said the rockets, however, had not impacted the consulate, which is located on the Basra airport compound.

PICKENS COUNTY — Thousands of county residents were without power following the heavy winds and rains brought on by Tropical Storm Irma.
Duke Power reported on Tuesday that 15,222 of their 25,766 Pickens County customers were without power — plunging nearly 60 percent of their service area into darkness.
Uprooted trees and broken branches were the number one culprits reported by area power companies as outage reports rolled in by the hundreds across the Upstate starting Monday afternoon.
Easley Combined Utilities escaped relatively unscathed in the storm. By noon on Tuesday the company was reporting zero outages within its 14,562 customer base.
For county residents outside their coverage area, it was a different story.
The Liberty, Norris, Six Mile and Pickens areas were all reporting widespread outages prompting out-of-state assistance to the areas two main power suppliers: Duke Power and Blue Ridge Electric.
The latter, Blue Ridge Electric Cooperative, was reporting 6,252 outages within the county on Sept. 12, down from over 7,000 the night before.
In all, as of Tuesday morning, around 50,000 people were without power across the Upstate thanks to Irma.
“Prevailing wind speeds and wind gusts, some topping 50 mph, have both increased in intensity since darkness fell this evening,” a spokesperson for Blue Ridge stated on Monday night. “These strong winds, coupled with the heavy rains that have saturated the ground, have resulted in many trees being uprooted. In multiple locations, fallen trees and broken limbs have torn down cooperative power lines and broken a considerable number of poles.”
The Co-Op stated the destruction was found “in essentially every corner of the Blue Ridge system” and that crews had “struggled throughout this emergency,” restoring power to lines, only to see them taken out of service again by continuing damage to the facilities.
Fresh crews were brought in from Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina and Broad River Electric Co-op in Gaffney to join with existing personnel with the power-restoration efforts on Tuesday morning, they announced.
“Some crews will continue to work through the nighttime hours, but progress is expected to be slow as long as the high winds continue,” the spokesperson said. “The extent of the damage would indicate that it could be several days before all members’ services will have been restored.”

From July 25th – 28th, Truck Festival will once again return to its beloved Hill Farm in Steventon for the 22nd edition of the UK’s longest running and most cherished small festival.
This year Truck is thrilled to welcome local legends Foals back to Hill Farm – twelve years on from their last appearance at the festival where they played an iconic show in The Barn. The 2007 performance at the festival has gone down in Truck folklore. Fast-forward to 2019 and the band’s fan base now extends across the world, buoyed by the forthcoming release of their hotly anticipated twin albums, Everything Saved Will Not Be Lost. It’s been 5 years since they performed in Oxford, making this hometown show all the more special.
Festival organiser Matt Harrap commented, “We’re extremely excited to announce our first wave of artists for this year’s show! Returning hometown heroes Foals is the icing on the cake; we’re over the moon to have them for their first Oxfordshire show in 5 years and their first at Truck since pre Antidotes! Having artists of the calibre of Two Door Cinema Club and Wolf Alice also coming to headline the event after many years of asking is truly humbling and their sets will no doubt live long in the memory.”
Last year Truck opened its doors for the first ever time on the Thursday, with Peace treating the early punters to an electric performance on the Market Stage. This time round, firm festival favourites Slaves will be headlining the opening night. 2018 saw the punk duo release their acclaimed third LP Acts Of Fear And Love, perform their biggest headline show to date at London’s Alexandra Palace and launch their own record label, Girl Fight. With new music for 2019 confirmed by guitarist Laurie Vincent, expect the unexpected on Thursday eve.
Friday will see Wolf Alice headline the main Stage. The band, spearheaded by Ellie Rowsell, captivated the nation via their 2017 album Visions of a Life – winning the 2018 Mercury Prize and featuring in countless publications’ top spot in best albums of the year. This will be one of the band’s few festival appearances this year, certainly not one to be missed. Commented the band “We’re honoured to headline the amazing Truck festival. Cheeky legends guaranteed attendance. Do not miss this.”
Closing Truck Festival is indie giants Two Door Cinema Club – who like Foals and Slaves have previously featured at the festival – and now return for a headline performance. After a brief hiatus, TDCC announced their awaited return in 2016 with third album Gameshow, a release that highlighted the band’s growth and experimentalism since their magnum opus LP, Tourist History. Their return to the stage has similarly been met with praise, and with indie anthems such as “Something Good Can Work”, “What You Know” and “Sun” in their back-catalogue, its easy to see why this will be one of Truck’s snapshot moments.
Also performing is a cherry-picked array of names at the forefront of their scene, including pop punk royalty You Me At Six, recent BRIT nominees IDLES, heralded indie-pop singer Kate Nash, South London five-piece Shame, The Futureheads – who recently announced their first album in 7 years, four-piece DIY indie/punk Martha, party pop-rock festival titans Don Broco and many more.
As ever, the festival also welcomes a host of local bands. “We have brilliant up and coming local talent such as Lacuna Common and Self Help”, says Matt. “Mix in the likes of You Me At Six, Nothing But Thieves and Shame and the soon to be announced epic Switch takeover of Palm City then we’ve got a real party! With ticket sales well ahead of this time last year, we really recommend not hanging around!”


Snooker star Jimmy White is changing his name to James Brown, as part of a madcap sponsorship deal.
The Whirlwind decided on his new moniker following news that the brown ball in all major tournaments is to be backed by a sauce manufacturer.
Not only that, White will ditch his usual black tuxedo for the forthcoming Masters event in favour of a brown one.
"With a bit of luck, the name James Brown will be engraved on the Masters
trophy at the end of next week," he said.
"The sponsorship of the brown ball really puts the fun back into snooker and, given my previous surname, I wanted to follow that lead.
"I think it is also up to the players to help liven up snooker's image and
raise its profile, and I feel good to do my bit with the help of HP."
White, who changed his name by deed poll, plans to keep his new title for the duration of the Masters - and possibly even the World Championships.
"If I win the Masters I might keep it that way!" he said. "I'll just go through the tournament and go
"The Godfather of Soul! I like it. Who knows - I might be James Brown for the rest of my career."


Paladin MK2 Marking Projectile Set of 10
The Paladin marking round is a fantastic training device or airsoft/paintball gameplay enhancer. The new MK2 projectile is designed work with the new TAG-015 and ML-36 launchers, and is still backwards compatible with the original TAGinn launching devices.
If you have any questions about the Paladin Marking Projectile please give us a call at 713-426-5689 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.org!
The TAGinn™ line of training and airsoft projectiles offers an amazing simulation system that takes training, airsoft, and paintball to the next level. This is the Paladin round, which is easily distinguished by it's bright blue color. This is the marking round - upon impact, the round bursts open throwing a bright orange powder all over the target area. The Paladin is a non-pyrotechnic product which makes it easy to ship and safe to use in areas that may not allow pyrotechnics.
This does not mean that there are not safety concerns with the Paladin round. It is NOT meant to be fired training operators, players, animals, or other live targets. Firing a Paladin at a human being or animal could cause injury. This is a marking round that is meant to directly impact a hard surface such as a building, vehicle, or other hard target. In fact, the Paladin will not even burst if it strikes a soft target such as a person. The Paladin needs a minimum of 75 feet to guarantee a successful impact on target.
The powder that the Paladin throws upon impact is perfectly safe and will wash off with little effort. This makes the Paladin a low maintenance and simple training device or airsoft/paintball gameplay element.
The Trainer round is NOT for firing on personnel or animals. Injury can occur if the Trainer is fired at a live target.
CQC Enterprises is not responsible for injuries caused by the projectile being fired at a live target such as a human being or an animal of any kind.
The Trainer is not designed to burst upon impact or break upon impact. Firing the projectile at a close-range target could cause dents, cracks, or other types of damage at close range hard targets such as automobiles, walls, doors, or other types of hard targets.

We have a SnapOn MT2500 Scanner at the shop. We recently bought a printer
cable for it. (it converts from a 6-pin RJ-45 type cable to a standard
parallel printer cable).
My questions are.....
1) Is this scanner only capable of printing while it's connected to the
vehicle AND connected to a PC terminal at the same time?? We tried printing
the DTC's and engine data from a vehicle today and it didn't work. We
pressed "N" to exit from the data screen and selected the "Print Screen"
option, but when we got to the computer in the shop that has a printer, the
scanner either timed out or the instant we plugged in the cable we'd get the
"Loss of communication from Vehicle" message. Like the scanner got
disconnected from the veh.. Which it was in order to physically bring the
scanner to where our PC is... So my guess is that the scanner DOES have to
be connecected to the pc and the vehicle at the same time....
2) Is there any special software and/or drivers needed to print with this
Thanks in advance!!

Crime rates drop in Bemidji, Beltrami County: City still tops other metro-area cities in number of crimes
BEMIDJI -- Police Chief Mike Mastin has been fighting the Bemidji’s reputation as a high-crime area for years, and a recent report from the Minnesota Department of Public Safety could help him make his case.
In 2013, Bemidji had the highest crime rate for a city in Minnesota, and in 2014 the second-highest. But new data from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension now places the city at No. 5, with an 8 percent decrease in the overall crime rate.
Beltrami County also saw a slight drop in overall crime, with 1,471 instances in 2014 and 1,432 in 2015. This is part of a decade-long downward trend in the county’s crime rate.

CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- Wal-Mart Stores Inc. will expand and roll out its $4 generic-drug plan throughout Florida this week, nearly four months ahead of an earlier timetable, the company said Thursday.
At an Orlando, Fla., press conference, Bill Simon, Wal-Mart's
Simon said that the company was pressured by customers and Florida state officials to step up the rollout of the plan, and will take it "beyond in coming weeks."
Since launching the program in the Tampa Bay market two weeks ago, Wal-Mart said that it also has included medicines such as the oncology drug Megestrol and Lovastatin, which are used to control cholesterol.
The retailer said that prescriptions filled jumped 19% to 36,000 in the first 10 days of the Tampa launch. At the same time, traffic into the stores was up 2%, though Simon could not say whether those shoppers bought more than generic drugs.
The list of $4 prescription medications -- which includes a number of drugs at different dosages -- makes up nearly 30% of the prescriptions that Wal-Mart dispenses at about 235 pharmacies in its stores throughout Florida.
The move follows the Sept. 21 announcement that it will sell 291 generic drugs at the $4 rate.
The program is available to insured and uninsured consumers, and is expected to help seniors who have fallen into what's been called the "donut hole" -- a coverage gap in Medicare Part D prescription-drug plans.
When the $4 plan was first announced, shares of Wal-Mart jumped on the news. But in midday trading Thursday, the Dow component remained lower, down nearly 3% on the session.

- Detailed Review
- Facts & Amenities
Jumeirah Mina A’Salam began life as an Arabian beauty, a family-style resort that’s superbly located ten minutes from the Mall of the Emirates and on one of the most amazing beaches in town. The hotel has access to the resort’s fabulous Talise Spa and health centre, and the entire property is linked to others in the Madinat Jumeirah by walkways and a Venitian-style waterway with floating abras (boat taxis). The sail-shaped Burj Al Arab can be seen from most of the rooms. At night, the Burj is bathed in revolving lights that change colours every few minutes – something to admire from your balcony.
As the first hotel in the Madinat Jumeirah complex with 292 rooms and suites, several dining outlets, pools, kids’ club and beach access, the beacon has faded somewhat. This may be because the new additions to the resort at large (the latest being Jumeirah Al Naseem) outshine this property. But whatever the reason, Mina A’Salam has failed to keep its crown polished.
As a family holiday destination, this hotel is a good choice. Rooms at the hotel face the water or the gardens, and two kids can stay free in with their parents. If you need more space, interconnecting options are available. Buy access to the Club Lounge if you want breakfast included (for all) and a sundowner or two every day. From 7 PM to closing, it’s an adult-only zone, something you may be ready to embrace after a day here at the hotel.
Rooms are nicely decorated, with wooden furniture and comfortable beds that face the outdoors. Blackout shades are useful, as the sun rises early here in The Gulf. Behind the bed is the dressing area, with ample space and a large built-in luggage rack. A well-stocked minibar and a Nespresso machine come standard, and welcome amenities are added as your stay progresses: eye masks, spec cleaners, bookmarks…
There are several places to eat here, the most fun being the Greek restaurant Shimmers, located beachside. It’s overlooked by the Burj Al Arab, the perfect backdrop for a selfie or two. There’s a Chinese restaurant, and a Mexican, Tortuga, that’s a throwback to what Mexican restaurants were in the 90s. A margarita or two here won’t go amiss, otherwise, head to the Bahri Bar for a quiet cocktail in a more refined setting. Friday brunch is a huge affair at Hanaaya when locals (ex-pats mostly) come out to play.

A fire has broken out in a three-storey building in Stokes Croft in Bristol. Seven fire engines have been tackling the blaze since the early hours of this morning. It's now under control and the property is believed to have been unoccupied.
The building is in between Jamaica Street and New Bond Street. Emergency services have closed off the road and its' expected to re-open at midday. A diversion is in place.
