Confidence has been restored to the Arsenal camp following their impressive wins on the trot but there was a dark cloud over our silver lining when new signing, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, was forced off following a clash of knees with some Russian bloke with vodka in his blood with our dear Armenian coming out second best. It’s never good when a player indicates to the bench to substitute him because it clearly shows that he can’t take any part of that game and that was the case on Thursday evening with Mkhi.

MOUNT VERNON, Wash. (AP) — Just off Cook Road east of Interstate 5 sits an unused 80-acre plot of land with the outline of a 49,000-square-foot building drawn in gravel. The plot was meant to become a state-of-the-art expansion for the Dykstra organic dairy farm, complete with an automated milking system. "Now it's a big, expensive parking lot," said third-generation dairy farmer Charlie Dykstra. The construction was put on hold indefinitely after the price of organic milk tanked during the past year and a half, Dykstra said. Читать дальше...

Kantor’s history haunts A Pink Chair, which extracts the high points from his play, together with selections from his writings, read aloud.

Dear Abby: I’m a 29-year-old female and still a virgin. This decision is mostly based on my religious beliefs, but also because I haven’t met the right guy. I have been struggling with this for several years because it seems my religious views and that of society are at odds. Rather than feel proud of my virginity, I feel ashamed.
