Sometimes it seems a real pain in the ass to live in a big city and especially in a well reknown neighbourhood. Than you face with rules, rules, rules. You can not create your homes' outside look the way you want, you must have the order of things the way some "wiser" people think. I am happy to come from a smaller country (like Republic of Macedonia), where you don't have to bother so much with what someone else thinks about your yard and where, per instance, you can use the shiny sun as much as you want, and dry your clothes fulfilled with sunbeam. A 49-year-old lady Melinda Hackett has had problems with that kind of neighbor that was so boring that minded a fairy-tale t! ree-house that was in her proper yard. Hackett lives in the historic Manhattan neighborhood where legendary Mark Twain per example lived. Few years ago, she built a tree-house for her daughters in her Greenwich Village backyard. And , I suppose some good neighbor of hers didn't have a smarter thing to do one day and decided that he couldn't stand anymore that lovely view of the cedar tree-house, and called the police. But, lady Hackett simply didn't want to give up the fight and ruin her girls joy. She fighted few years in the courtrooms for that and finally succeeded. The thing is, the area where the tree-house is is a district with landmark status. It is interesting that the house where Hackett lives dates from 1860s and she had bought it from famous singer David Byrne. Who would believe that she would have so much headache only because of a tree-house, five years ago when she moved from rural parts of New York?

Ponekogaš se čini deka e navistina naporno da živeete vo golem grad i ušte povekje vo dobro poznato sosedstvo. Togaš se soočuvate so pravila, pravila, pravila. Ne možete da si go iskreirate nadvorešniot izgled na vašiot dom kako što vie sakate, mora da go imate redot na neštata na način kakov što nekoi "popametni" lugje smetaat. Srekjna sum što doagham od pomala država (kako Republika Makedonija), kade ne mora da se zamarate premnogu so toa što mislat drugite za vašiot dvor i kade, na primer, možete da go koristete sonceto tolku kolku što sakate i da gi sušite alištata n! a primer polni so sončevi zraci. 49-godišnata Melinda Heket imaše problemi so takov vid sosed na koj mu bilo tolku dosadno što bajkovitata kukjička na drvo počnala počnala da mu smeta. Heket živee vo istoriskoto sosedstvo na Menhet kade isto taka živeel i Mark Tven. Pred nekolku godini, taa izgradila kukja na drvo ze nejzinite kjerki vo dvoroto vo Grinvič Vilidz. I, pretpostavuvam deka nekoj nejzin dobar sosed nemal popametna rabota da napravi pa eden den odlučil deka povekje ne može da go podnese toj simpatičen poglled na kukjičkata od kedar i ja povikal policijata. No, g-jata Heket ednostavno ne sakala da se otkaže od borbata i da ja uništi radosta na nejzinite devojčinja. Taa se borela pet godini vo sudnicite za toa i konečno uspeala. Problemot e vo toa što oblasta kade što se naogja kukjičkata e oblast so zaštiten status. Interesno e što kukjata kade #! 3;to živee Heket datira od 60-te godini na 19 vek i ja ku! pila od poznatiot pejač Dejvid Brn. Koj bi poveruval deka taa kje ima tolku mnogu glavobolka samo poradi nekoja kukja na trco, pred pet godini koga se preselila od ruralni delovi na Njujork?

If you are one of those people who cannot imagine their lives without spicy food there is a challenge for you in the form of so called Jolokia pepper, which has been named the hottest chilli in the world. It even got its place in the Guinness Book of World Records. Jolokia chilli, often dubbed ghost chilli, comes from northeastern parts of India, it can be also found in Sri Lanka. The spicy heat of a chilli is measured at the Scoville Scale, which indicates the amount of a chemical compound capsaicin present. The scale is named after American chemist Wilbur Scoville who developed a test for rating the “hotness” of a chilli. Jolokia achieved SHU (Scoville Heat U! nit) rating of 1,001,304 as it was recorded at the Mexico State University in 2006. In comparison, Tabasco sauce has an SHU level of about 5,000. Due to its extreme characteristics the Naga Jolikia has several uses. Except for being used as a spice i tis added to homeopathic preparations for stomach ailments in India. Also in the northeastern regions of India, people use them to keep wild elephants away from their homes, either they are smeared on fences or made into smoke bombs. In 2009, India´s Defence Research and Development Organisation informed it would try to use the peppers in non-lethal hand grenates. "The chilli grenade is a non-toxic weapon and when used would force a terrorist to come out of his hideout,“ said lead scientist R.B. Srivastava from the Organisation. "The effect is so pungent that it would literally choke them." If you want to try the Naga Jolokia, certain preparations should preceed your attempts. Tolerance for the spicy increrases as ! you keep eating spicy food, So, at first you should master som! e less s tronger kinds of peppers and only then move on to the Jolokia.

Existujú tisícky záhad a nevyriešených prípadov, ktoré nebudú pravdepodobne nikdy zodpovedané. Táto skutočnosť však nikdy nezabráni ľuďom klásť otázky. Jedným z takýchto záhadných incidentov je bezpochyby aj stále nevyriešená vražda bývalého amerického prezidenta Johna Fitzgeralda Kennedyho. Vražda, ktorá sa odohrala pred 47 rokmi je však stále v kurze a žiada si byť vyriešená. Každý, nielen tí, ktorí prezidenta poznali osobne či si ho pamätajú, by chce! l vedieť, čo sa skrýva za jeho životným príbehom a kde je pravda. Prečo bol zavraždený a kto bol jeho vrahom? Aký bol jeho vzťah s bývalou hereckou hviezdou Merilyn Monroe a boli skutočne milencami? Ľudia sú aj po toľkých rokoch stále zvedaví a chcú vedieť, kto bol skutočný John F. Kennedy. Kým nových kníh „objasňujúcich“ život tohto, medzi ľudom obľúbeného prezidenta vychádza pomerne dosť, žiadna z nich pravdepodobne neobjasní celú pravdu. Stále však existujú ľudia, ktorí sa o J. F. Kennedyho zaujímajú, alebo prinajmenšom o škandály a klebety s ním spojené. A práve pre nich, predstavujú tieto knihy aspoň ako také časti z celkovej životnej skladačky tohto prezidenta. Nová kniha! nazvaná „Detaily o Kennedym“ sa snaž! 37; by&# 357; jednou z nich. Bývalý tajný agent, Gerald Blaine, ktorý napísal túto knihu (v spolupráci s Lisou McCubbin) odhalil niektoré informácie, ktoré fanúšikov Kennedyho určite zaujmú. Blain v nej napríklad tvrdí, že prezident nemal s Marilyn Monroe nikdy žiaden pomer. Podľa toho čo píše, sa herečka stretla s prezidentom celkom len dvakrát, pričom vždy od neho odchádzala sama. Ak chcete poznať celý príbeh, budete si pravdepodobne musieť knihu kúpiť...

There are thousands of mysteries and unsolved cases that will probably never be answered. But this fact cannot stop people from asking questions. One of these mysterious incidents is still with no doubt assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Murder that happened 47 years ago, is still in great demand and wants to be solved. Everyone, not only those who knew him personally or remembered him, would like to know what was behind his life story and where is the truth hidden. Why was he murdered and who was his killer? What was his relationship with Marilyn Monroe and were they real lovers? People are after all these years still curious and they simple want to know, who was re! al President Kennedy? While new books about Kennedy’s life are still published, none of them will probably ever reveal the whole truth. But there are still many people interested in his personality or at least in any kind of gossip or scandal. And for them, these books represent small pieces of the whole Kennedy’s puzzle. New book called “The Kennedy Detail” could be one of those. Retired Secret Service agent, Gerald Blaine, has written (along with Lisa McCubbin) this book just to reveal some other information connected with Kennedy. According to Blaine, the playboy 35th president never did have a romantic dalliance with Marilyn Monroe. Blain insists that film star Marilyn Monroe was in the company of Kennedy only twice, but she left alone in both cases. If you want to know the full story, you will probably have to buy a book…
