Further, "no fares will be charged on buses today or tomorrow." And it gets better: according to Lhota, no MTA "buses have any damage, nor do any subway cars. All [of the trouble is] on the lines, all on the track level." So that is the good news. [ more › ]

Religion, race reverberate on New York stages

Boxers or briefs? Odd as it sounds, that nosy question resonates in not one but two politically and religiously charged new Off-Broadway plays that opened in the last week and a half.

Includes the tale of a sadist, a beheading, liver paté, alcoholism, and a slow rotting from the inside out -- with three homage's to death metal, one featuring Helen, a pseudo French Canadian gremlin, and Delia, her loyal half-sister from a non demonic paternal figure...     11:30PM, IRC Halloween Movie Night: Night of the Living Dead It draws us into its world gradually; content to establish a merely spooky atmosphere before leading us through a horrifically logical progression that we hardly could have anticipated. The story is simple: Radiation from a fallen satellite has caused the dead to walk, and hunger for human flesh. We follow a group holed up in small farmhouses who are trying to fend off the inevitable onslaught of the dead. Night of the Living Dead establishes savagery as a necessary condition of life. Marked by fatality and a grim humor, the film gnaws through to the bone, and then proceeds on to the marrow.   SUNDAY, OCTOBER 28th 12 - 2PM, Will Teez Bike Club The Inwood Cycling Club meets every Sunday outside of the Indian Road Café. Show up any time after 11am. We'll head out a bit after noon, leaving plenty of time to get properly caffeinated, hydrated and schmooze. Meet your neighbors, Rep Your Hood and get your ride on.

Superb."   Founder's Breakfast Stout Grand Rapids, Michigan      8oz   8.3%abv   $6 "Pours pitch black with very faint fizz. Smells phenomenal: strong chocolate and coffee notes pour out of the glass. Taste follows the nose perfectly, strong chocolate, both bitter and sweet, and coffee flavors abound from this spectacular brew. Full-bodied with a smooth, velvety texture and no mouth-carbonation. A perfect 100 on ratebeer."   Bronx Brewery Rye Pale Ale Bronx, New York   16oz     6.3%abv     $7 "Lots of spicy rye character along with some peppery aroma. A bright lemony citrus hop aroma and flavor along with some nice spiciness. A little bit of dark berry fruitiness and a fairly light resinous bitterness. It's pretty lovely stuff."   BY THE BOTTLE Oskar Blues G'Knight (Gordon) Lyons, Colorado   16oz   8.7abv     $10 (can) "Gordon is a dry-hopped hybrid strong ale somewhere between a Double IPA and and Imperial Amber Ale (IAA). Brewed in tribute to the late Gordon Knight, Gordon is brewed with massive amounts of American hops".   Joe Mama's Milk (Keegan Ales) Kingston, New York    12oz     8%abv        $9 " Joe Mama's starts out with the Mother's Milk recipe, then copious amounts of brown sugar are added to increase body and alcohol.

Fw: Candidates with extremist views profiled

October 25, 2012 Candidates with extremist views profiled The SPLC Task Force on Hate in the Public Sphere has released profiles of 15 political candidates -- including Democrats and Republicans -- whose beliefs are linked with hate groups and racial, ethnic, religious, anti-gay and antigovernment extremism, or who promote extremist propaganda. Bizarre attack on SPLC's Mix It Up at Lunch Day Religious-right extremists have launched a false attack against the SPLC's anti-bias school program saying that it is an attempt to indoctrinate young people into the "homosexual lifestyle." Watch Teaching Tolerance Director Maureen Costello on CNN discussing the allegation. SPLC in court seeking millions in lost wages SPLC lawyers are fighting in federal court to help domestic farmworkers and foreign guestworkers recover millions of dollars in wages they were never paid after performing backbreaking work. We're seeking to reverse a lower court's decision that took an estimated $100 million out of the pockets of farmworkers. Morris Dees remembers George McGovern Senator George McGovern was a longtime champion of the SPLC and a man of principle and compassion. Morris Dees remembers the Senator and their four-decade friendship. ___________________________________________________________ Make a contribution to support our work fighting hate, teaching tolerance, and seeking justice.
