Fw: THIS FRIDAY! AFF Presents "Tey" @ MIST!

October 8, 2013   DVDS FOR SALE       BOOKS FOR SALE     E-Bulletin THIS FRIDAY!!     AFF Inc. presents:   "Tey", by Alain Gomis   (Tey) - Dir. by Alain Gomis Friday, October 11th 6:00 pm    Director Alain Gomis will be in Attendance for a post-screening dialogue!!    My Image Studios (MIST) 40 W 116th St (between Lenox and Fifth Ave) "TEY" Alain Gomis, Senegal, 2012, 86m   Today is the last day of Satché's life. He knows this to be true even though he is strong and healthy. Nonetheless Satché (played by American actor-musician Saül Williams) accepts his imminent death. Walking through the streets of his home town in Senegal he takes in the sites of his past as if he were looking at them for the last time: his parents' house, his first love, the friends of his youth, his wife and children. Time and again he hears the same reproach: why didn't he stay in America, where he would have a future? Satché encounters his final moments full of fear but also with a sense of joy. In his film, director Alain Gomis takes a well-worn topic in Senegalese cinema and turns it on its head: unlike other films, many of which choose to focus on emigration and neo-colonialism, Gomis' work instead tells the story of a man who leaves America to return to the land of his birth.

Best fried chicken in the city

Time to get your finger lickin' on. Fork in the Road takes on the sweet task of seeking out the best fried chicken in the city. It's a tough contest, but they manage to narrow it down to 10 moist, juicy, crispy-skinned winners. The list includes the bird at The Redhead (349 East 13th Street), with its buttermilk brine and greaseless coating; Amy Ruth's (113 West 116th Street) choice of dark or white meat smothered in oregano-rich brown gravy and served with the optional waffle; BonChon (325 Fifth Avenue) for its Korean fried chicken with either sweet soy-garlic or spicy chili glaze; The Commodore (366 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn), where you get three mammoth thighs with cups of sweet, peppery vinegar sauce; and Mitchell's Soul Food (617A Vanderbilt Avenue, Brooklyn) for its black pepper-heavy batter that hasn't changed since 1978.

De Blasio's slams at Ray Kelly hurts NYC

De Blasio's slams at Ray Kelly hurts NYC

This isn’t just a political season when Bill de Blasio runs against Mike Bloomberg before he even gets around to Joe Lhota. It is also a season when de Blasio bangs away with body punches at Ray Kelly, and the methods Kelly has used to keep the city safe not just in a 9/11 world, but a city and country of guns. Bill de Blasio is a good, smart, likable guy, may end up mayor, even though there is the cockeyed notion sometimes that he has been elected already. But he continues to insult Kelly’s service, and the job Kelly has done as police commissioner, and Lhota seems to be the only one calling him on it.

Fw: FactCheck.org's Weekly Update

Help us hold politicians accountable. FactCheck.org's Weekly Update September 13, 2013 New to "The Wire" Twisting Cuccinelli's Tax Plan Posted On Friday, September 13th, 2013 Democrat Terry McAuliffe uses the reluctance of his Republican opponent, Ken Cuccinelli, to name the tax exemptions and loopholes he would eliminate to offset his proposed tax cuts as the basis for misleading, doomsday claims about Cuccinelli's tax plan. Inhofe Misquotes Obama's Chief Military Adviser Posted On Thursday, September 12th, 2013 Sen. Jim Inhofe badly misquoted Gen. Martin E. Dempsey when he claimed the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff described the current state of the U.S. military as "so degraded and unready, it would be immoral to use force." More (Mostly Accurate) Virginia Attacks Posted On Wednesday, September 11th, 2013 Virginia Democrat Terry McAuliffe's latest ad says Republican Ken Cuccinelli "twists the facts" by saying McAuliffe made millions from a company that went bankrupt, leaving thousands of workers unemployed and with worthless pension funds. Kerry Spins His Record on Iraq Posted On Tuesday, September 10th, 2013 Secretary of State John Kerry says both he and Chuck Hagel, now the secretary of defense, "opposed the president's decision to go into Iraq" as senators. But both voted to give President Bush the authority to use military force in Iraq.
