By Dan Berger Wine and food pairings can be tricky. But they weren't always so. Most of our food/wine "rules" were set down in the 1950s and '60s, at a time when Americans largely ate a lot more simplistic foods, such as meat and potatoes.


The perfect kids bike, reliable, easy to ride, easy to maintain and in great condition.
Hard to pass up this emaculate 2010 CRF100, these bikes don't come up often.
Great for kids or even mum, don't miss out on this little bargain at just $2500.


Speedrun.com is the place to go for a game's latest world record or tips on how to break into its speedrunning scene. Speedrunning, the act of trying to beat a video game as quickly as possible under set conditions, relies on well-maintained records to track the best times and allow runners to catalogue their personal bests.
Users can create their own accounts to upload videos of their runs, which are then verified by moderators who add them to an overall leaderboard.
In a forum statement this week, a member of the site's moderation team announced that key moderation accounts had been compromised.
Leaderboards for major games such as The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario World were vandalised and altered, forcing the site to revert all their records back to April 1, the last known uncompromised state of the website. Speedrunners who have achieved personal best and new records will need to submit their times again.
"A few game moderator accounts were compromised on April 1, in a very similar manner to what happened back in November," staff member kirkq said in a forum post.
Speedrun.com dealt with a similar breach in November 2018. The staff concluded that the passwords for numerous accounts were stolen as part of a massive 2015 database dump of emails and passwords for the Xsplit Broadcaster, a customisable live-streaming program popular with speedrunners and Twitch streamers.
These databases are often used for "credential stuffing", a process where the password is attempted on as many sites as possible in an effort to gain access to accounts.
After that breach, the staff rolled back the site's data by multiple days. Users were asked to use passwords that they hadn't used on the breached sites, but it seems some people didn't follow that advice.
"It is our understanding that every compromised account reused a password that was previously used on a compromised website," site owner Peter Chase told Kotaku via email.
The site's moderators and staff are now actively looking into implementing two-factor authorisation to the site. It is possible that this extra security measure will be mandatory for all moderators.

Low-cost bank branches under lens
By Vrishti Beniwal
April 12, 2012 15:07 IST
To ensure its financial inclusion drive is not restricted to meeting branch opening targets, the Union finance ministry is to ask banks for a performance report of the 'ultra small' branches set up in the past two years in about 73,000 villages.
The performance would be examined on opening of new accounts, deposits and advances, as well as recovery of loans.
"We will ask banks to give a report on how these branches have performed as on March 31, 2012. Banks will have to provide details with regard to various parameters," said a ministry official.
Customers at such branches are supposed to be serviced by banking correspondents (BCs), doing cash transactions where the population lives. The model has not picked up as hoped. A parliamentary standing committee had criticised the government for not taking any action on its recommendation of conducting a study on the model's effectiveness.
The ministry recently asked banks to send a representative to such areas regularly, to address concerns and also extend
services not provided by BCs.
In 2006, banks were first allowed to adopt the BC model for delivery of services in unbanked and under-banked areas. Retired bank employees, retired teachers, retired government employees, former soldiers, individual owners of kirana/medical/fair price shops, individual public telephone operators, and agents of small savings schemes of government and insurance companies were permitted to act as BCs.
The guidelines were reviewed by the Reserve Bank in September 2010 and banks were also allowed to engage companies registered under the Indian Companies Act, 1956, with large and widespread retail outlets, excluding non-banking financial companies, as BCs.
Banks were asked in 2010-11 to provide appropriate banking facilities to habitations with a population in excess of 2,000 by March 2012.
In Budget 2012-13, finance minister Pranab Mukherjee proposed to extend the campaign to habitations with a population of at least 1,000 in northeastern and hilly states. About 12,000-15,000 more villages are likely to be covered in the next round of financial inclusion.

It is telling that someone who uses the phrase "national governent" would want to engage in a topic regarding the Constitution. The word "national" was presented once and was soundly rejected at the Philadelphia Convention because it is not descriptive of the federal govenment. A federal government was created, which means federalism, a compact between the states, and a non-unitary government. The exact opposite of liberalism's need for a national government and a unitary government.
The topic of these threads is defnitively NOT "what does Jimmyb know..."
The woman involved who "changed her mind" did not do so based on a constitutional argument. This thread was started on an article about her changing her mind.
From a source that meets my approval.
The only relevent significance of Mcculloch v. Maryland is the judicial activism by the Federalist John Marshall. Marshall's opinion was not supported by the Constitution or by any of the debates at the Philadelphia Convention. Marshall based his opinion on an open-ended grant of power via the necessary and proper clause. The problem is that James Wilson authored the necessary and proper clause and his definition of its intent and scope are the opposite of Marshall's opinion. Based on the Constitution and the intent of the necessary and proper clause, McCulloch should be overturned.
McCorvry, in the OP, makes note of her court case.
The case was before the Supreme Court.
The case involved the constitutionality of the Texas abortion law.
The OP is about several things, and the constitutional basis of Roe is one of the topics.
I thought you wingers LOVED violating the Constitution?
That was the best source I could find, and it was quite easy.
And as usual...the Trumpanzee falls back on lies/agitprop. Typical. Tell me, Trumpanzee, which "thought crimes" are you talking about?


Meet Ms. Fancy, my ceramic pig and my psychotherapy spirit animal. She epitomizes that the impossible can become possible...you know..."when pigs fly." I believe that a good psychotherapy will make the life you never thought you'd be able to live, accessible and a reality.
Psychotherapy can be a helpful tool in addressing the afflictions of our daily lives, often caused by past challenges and experiences. Talking about your life in a supportive, confidential manner can open up greater insight about the patterns and beliefs we have internalized about ourselves and the world. Developing this insight increases ones awareness and ability to make thoughtful, helpful choices which can improve our quality of life and put us on the path to get what we most desire out of life.
Among the conditions and symptoms which propel one into treatment are: situational or chronic depression, anxiety, relationship problems, sudden loss, lack of direction, job problems and stress. Psychotherapy is not only helpful to resolving some of your immediate discomfort but also helping you develop healthier coping skills for future concerns.
Treatment can be solution and symptom focused, a course which is generally brief in nature. Treatment can also involve a longer term, more introspective approach where the goal is to uncover the underlying basis for feelings, behaviors, choices and actions. In either approach, the aim is similar – to afford you a greater range of choices in how you experience your life.
My clinical style is interactive in sessions, maintaining a challenging yet warm, supportive, and encouraging presence. I also operate from a place exploring patterns of behavior, originating from childhood and usually a function of our family and early experiences. One would call me an "insight-oriented" or a "psychodynamic" clinician.
I've been told that I shoot straight from the hip, offering interpretations which manage to both hold someone accountable for their behavior but also make them feel validated, seen, and accepted. I usually do this through my lively sense of humor, helping my clients learn to laugh at themselves and feel at ease in the most uncomfortable of situations. Most importantly, however, I always lead with compassion and curiosity as to encourage a safe and trusting bond so that my patients also learn to approach themselves and their lives with compassion and curiosity, instead of judgement, fear, and expecting the worst.
I also strongly believe that that weekly psychotherapy sessions are usually the most effective and I typically requires this from all of my clients, though all treatment decisions will always be cooperatively discussed. Furthermore, I do not participate as a contracted provider with any health insurance plans so please consider that carefully before you decide to move forward.
Please keep in mind that I try my best to respond to every inquiry within a timely manner. However, if you haven't received a response from me within week's time, please feel free to follow up via email at Dr.Monica.ONeal@gmail.com.
An initial consultation does not guarantee that we will work together in a psychotherapy, nor does it mean that you are my patient. I will always be assessing what is best for your overall treatment at every stage of our interaction. If I determine that it does not make sense for us to work together, I will do my best to provide an appropriate referral.

Cattanach, William (1863–1932)
by Ronald East
William Cattanach (1863-1932), administrator, was born on 17 May 1863 at Hotham (North Melbourne), son of Thomas Cattanach, builder, and his second wife Mary, née Masterton, both Scottish-born. He was educated at denominational and state schools and matriculated from Scotch College in 1880. After six years as an accountant with the Bank of Victoria, he became town clerk of Flemington and Kensington and then Essendon.
In May 1906 (Sir) Thomas Bent's government appointed Cattanach one of the three members of the newly constituted State Rivers and Water Supply Commission. He succeeded Dr Elwood Mead as chairman in 1915. The commission was set up to direct the investigation, development and control of country water-supplies throughout Victoria. It became responsible for the administration of closer settlement in irrigation districts in 1912, and after 1918 for the settlement of discharged soldiers from World War I; by 1923 some two thousand soldier settlers were located in irrigated areas, notably Red Cliffs, Woorinen, Merbein, Nyah, Stanhope, Tongala, Shepparton and Rodney. With the assistance of quite a small settlement branch he had to deal with practically every problem of allocation, many of which were very difficult.
Cattanach played a leading part in obtaining government support for co-operative canneries at Kyabram and Mooroopna on the lines of the successful Shepparton cannery set up in 1916. He also aided establishment of co-operative packing sheds for dried vine-fruits at Red Cliffs, Merbein and Woorinen and was active in the negotiations for marketing canned fruits overseas. Under his administration, new and enlarged reservoirs added greatly to the capacity of the country water-storages of the State, and the irrigated areas increased by 50 per cent.
Cattanach was tall and well built, with crisp curly hair, but he was acutely cross-eyed and this certainly disturbed any who might argue with him. Except for the very few who worked closely with him, most of his officers feared rather than liked him. He was very hard-working, and he took no recreation leave in his years as chairman. In 1912 he had visited the United States of America, and in 1927 he toured Canada to seek markets for Victorian canned and dried fruits.
Away from the office Cattanach was friendly and even charming. He was several times president of the Old Scotch Collegians' Association, was a popular member of the Wallaby (walking) Club, and an interesting travelling companion on visits to country districts. In 1925 he was appointed C.M.G.
Cattanach married Kate Lachlan Robertson at the age of 39; they had no children. For many years they lived at the George Hotel, St Kilda. He died on 20 July 1932 while still in office, and was buried in Melbourne general cemetery. His estate was valued for probate at £14,591.
Cattanach had made a substantial contribution to the development of Victorian water-resources, the expansion of irrigation, the subdivision of large holdings for closer settlement and the development of the fruit industry.

Veracity has worked for clients all over the world, but with Storyhouse we are very close to home. The Storyhouse complex is within sight of our production office, which enabled us to film very flexibly to capture the entire build. Walking to work is normally a luxury we don't have when laden with PPE, cameras, lights and sound kit, but using the latest highly portable HD equipment and liaising closely with Kier's Project Managers on site we have been able to capture footage in bite-sized chunks rather than full days making the exercise both comprehensive and cost effective for our clients.
The ethos of Storyhouse is very much that it is a facility for the people of Chester and beyond to both enjoy and be part of. The visionaries behind it, from the architects and designers to construction specialists, are leaders in their field; for them, our input has been invaluable in getting key messages out to the audience about what is happening behind the scaffolding and screens. Our work has featured heavily in local and regional media from the very start, attracting disproportionately high levels of PR coverage for the investment involved, with precious minutes of peak time viewing on the key regional news outlets. The films we have made highlight the unique series of public/private sector partnerships that make Storyhouse a model for excellence in the creative use of a neglected city centre site to create a vibrant new facility. We are proud neighbours and users of Storyhouse, as well as chroniclers of its development, which makes this a unique communications project that Veracity has played a major part in bringing to life. We continue to work with Storyhouse on theatrical trailers and video that integrates with live performances.
'I have found all of Veracity's staff approachable and extremely helpful, their production of site videos has been faultless and they have always portrayed the site in the best light possible, utilising modern videography that is in line with Kier's values'.


An effervescent wine is a great starter in warm weather, but you don't necessarily have to switch bottles when the meal is served.
Part of my job in this column is to break all of you of familiar habits. Not that they are necessarily bad, but I just want to expose you to new wines, food pairings and even situations in which you might not think of drinking a certain style of wine.
OK, fine — I really want you all to drink like me.
My summer has included some excellent dinners. And whether it was a tête-à-tête or with a number of friends, if there is a common thread, it's that nearly all of those meals either started with or were accompanied by a sparkling wine.
It makes sense. The structural foundation of all sparkling wines is acidity. As more and more people turn to white wine, it is the acidic grapes like sauvignon blanc and pinot grigio that are leading the way. Rosé, which continues to grow worldwide, is made with red grapes that are harvested earlier than if they were destined to become a red wine. Why? So that they will have more acidity.
So as the temperatures finally start to soar, when you are looking for a wine option I am challenging you to start your dinner with one that has some effervescence. And if you are eating a lighter meal, feel free to continue with the bottle, especially if you choose a Champagne or a richer sparkling wine.
The SAQ normally allows its sparkling wine inventory and selection to drop during the summer, but here are some recently released sparklings, as well as a few others I've tasted that are available at the respective wineries in Ontario's Prince Edward County.
Cava, Brut, Parés Baltà, Spain sparkling, $16.55, SAQ # 10896365. Organic. Like biting into a fresh apple, but there is much more here. Floral, with dried pungent flowers and notes of almond. Well balanced between texture and acidity. Aromatic complexity with a biscuity finish. Residual sugar: 5 g/L. Grape varieties: parellada, macabeo, xarel-lo. Serve at: 8 C. Drink now. Food pairing idea: apéritif, smoked fish.
Prosecco Superiore 2016, Extra Brut, Asolo, Italy sparkling, $19.60, SAQ # 13056370. Quite elegant. Shows apple and lemon notes, but with refined bubbles. Nice and dry on the finish, which is rare in the world of Prosecco. Really nice in its simplicity. Residual sugar: 7.1 g/L. Grape variety: glera. Serve at: 8 C. Drink now. Food pairing idea: apéritif, smoked salmon.
Colli Euganei 2013, Fior d'Arancio, Vignalta, Italy sparkling, $20.85, SAQ # 726976. Yes, it's a bit sweet, but the balance is superb and the sugar amps up the aromatics of nectarines, mandarins and apricots. Very refined bubbles, and at 5.5 per cent alcohol, you can drink buckets. Great brunch or lunchtime bubbly. Keep cold. Residual sugar: 60 g/L. Grape variety: moscato giallo. Serve at: 6-8 C. Drink now. Food pairing idea: apéritif, crepes, desserts with mascarpone and fruit.
Crémant du Jura, Auguste Pirou, France sparkling, $21, SAQ # 13032941. Light-bodied and very fresh. Finish shows notes of biscuit, apple and a touch of citrus. Nice little bitterness on the finish. Great with a variety of hors d'oeuvres. Residual sugar: 9.5 g/L. Grape varieties: pinot noir, chardonnay. Serve at: 8 C. Drink now. Food pairing idea: apéritif, smoked salmon, cold cuts and lighter cheese.
Crémant de Bourgogne, Brut Prestige, Veuve Ambal, France sparkling, $23.50, SAQ # 12889134. Shows a lot of biscuit notes alongside apple and some redder fruit. Textured, but finishes dry and with a certain jump. Very good all-around sparkling. Residual sugar: 5.8 g/L. Grape varieties: chardonnay, pinot noir. Serve at: 8-10 C. Drink now. Food pairing idea: apéritif, terrines, smoked salmon.
Crémant d'Alsace 2014, Domaine Barmès Buecher, France sparkling, $26.20, SAQ # 10985851. Organic. Almost achingly dry on the attack, but this fleshes out in the mid-palate, finishing up tight, dry and mineral. Great length. I wanted crab when I tasted this, but any seafood will do. Residual sugar: 1.2 g/L. Grape varieties: pinot auxerrois, pinot gris, chardonnay, pinot blanc. Serve at: 8-10 C. Drink now. Food pairing idea: apéritif, foie gras.
Cava Reserva 2012, Brut, Gramona, Spain sparkling, $26.80, SAQ # 12450703. Organic. A much more powerful incarnation of cava. This needs food. Shows a smoky brioche note alongside nuanced apples and lemon rind. Very dry finish. Residual sugar: 5.4 g/L. Grape varieties: xarel-lo, macabeo. Serve at: 8-10 C. Drink now. Food pairing idea: grilled calamari, roasted red peppers, stronger fish like mackerel.
Sparkling wine, Brut, Okanagan Valley, Blue Mountain, British Columbia sparkling, $28.45, SAQ # 12826192. Richer bubbly that shows a lot of fruit, almost verging on tropical; maybe that's the pinot gris in the blend? Buttery mid-palate. Interesting and elegant enough. Great for a meal. Residual sugar: 8.5 g/L. Grape varieties: chardonnay, pinot gris. Serve at: 8-10 C. Drink now. Food pairing idea: apéritif, grilled salmon.
Champagne, Brut, Horizon Blanc de Blancs, Pascal Doquet, France sparkling, $53.75, SAQ # 11528046. Organic. A touch richer than the last release, but still finishes on a thirst-inducing salty mineral note. Lemon and browning apple. Very finessed, and just so fresh. Residual sugar: 7.9 g/L. Grape variety: chardonnay. Serve at: 8-10 C. Drink now. Food pairing idea: apéritif, prosciutto and melon, oysters.
Champagne Grand Cru, Brut, Tradition, Egly-Ouriet, France sparkling, $97.25, SAQ # 13319475. My wine of the summer. Yes, it's costly, but few Champagnes under $100 rival the elegance and texture of this wine. So much nuance, so delicately fruity, a hint of brioche, a touch of rockiness on the finish. Gorgeous. I drank three bottles and have no more. I'm sad now. Residual sugar: 5.8 g/L. Grape varieties: pinot noir, chardonnay. Serve at: 10-12 C. Drink now-2020. Food pairing idea: apéritif, grilled fish, beef tartare.
I would never have imagined that a mere four-hour drive from Montreal would take me to a place that has the potential to become one of Canada's top wine regions. But this area — an hour west of Kingston, and best known for the white sand beaches of Sandbanks Provincial Park — is a rising star in Canada. I tasted these superb bubbles on a recent visit.
Sparkling wine, Brut, Blanc de Blancs, Ceremony, Rosehall Run, Ontario sparkling, $34.95. Available at the winery. A blend of three vintages and barrel fermented. Very dry, but with such a comfortable texture. Citrus and apple. Extra depth. Outstanding for the price. Residual sugar: n/a. Grape variety: chardonnay. Serve at: 10-12 C. Drink now-2018. Food pairing idea: apéritif, oysters, grilled shrimp with lemon.
Sparkling wine, Brut, Sacrament, Hinterland, Ontario sparkling, $55. Available at the winery. Field blend of chardonnay and pinot noir, aged for five years. The results are really impressive. Very refined bubbles, a lean texture, complex red-tinged fruit. Juicy but super focused on the finish. Residual sugar: n/a. Grape varieties: chardonnay, pinot noir. Serve at: 10-12 C. Drink now-2022. Food pairing idea: apéritif, grilled fish, chicken brochettes.
Sparkling cherry cider, Hinterland, Ontario cider, $18. Available at the winery. A cider with sour cherry juice added to it. Absolutely delicious. Full of fresh apple with just a touch of sourness. Try on its own, or mix four parts cider with one part Campari. Worth picking up a few bottles. Residual sugar: n/a. Serve at: 8 C. Drink now. Food pairing idea: apéritif.

America's sweetheart, Taylor Swift, is coming to Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, MA on
July 27 & 28, 2018. And get this...it's a Friday and Saturday night so odds are you don't have to get up early to go to work the next day. So now you can stay until the very last note of the final encore.

The Vikings are laying siege to Paris. As the houses on the banks of the Seine burn a debate rages in the Cathedral on the walled island of the city proper. The situation is hopeless. The Vikings want the Count's sister, in return they will spare the rest of the city. Can the Count really have ambitions to be Emperor of the Franks if he doesn't do everything he can to save his people? Can he call himself a man if he doesn't do everything he can to save his sister?
His conscience demands one thing, the demands of state another. The Count and the church are relying on the living saint, the blind and crippled Jehan of St Germain, to enlist the aid of God and resolve the situation for them. But the Vikings have their own gods. And outside their camp a terrifying brother and sister, priests of Odin, have their own agenda.

3.0 out of 5 stars Variation on the same theme
19 December 2011 - Published on Amazon.com
which means the predictability factor is rather high, although the book might work as a stand alone adventure novel in case you haven't read "Wolfsangel". The story of a relentless chase takes the reader from Paris besieged by Norsemen in 886 AD, through Frankish lands (and the Baltic sea), to the court of the Varangian ruler Helgi/Oleg at Aldeigjuborg/Staraya (Old) Ladoga: historical personages such as the Frank count Eudes/Odo and the Viking king Sigfrid make their appearances. With certain alterations, the focus is being on the fatalistic reenactment of the scenario encountered in the first book (a couple of flashback scenes for a reminder or a teaser), with a similar dose of attendant violence, carnage (involving necrophagy on one occasion). However, the female protagonist has a more pronounced role as she comes to terms with her innate/karmic ability to command rune magic, a feature that at times allows the author to extricate his players from a perilous situation in a somewhat deux-ex-machina manner.
The initially powerful antagonist duo of sorcery experts Hugin and Munin (named after god Odin's ravens) lose some of their creepiness once one of them has switched sides -- "It was bone-thin and wrapped in a cloak of black feathers, its black hair stuck into a shock with an oily tar, feathers within it sweeping up into a sort of black crown. Its face...was a terrible mess of scars, deep but tiny wounds, some festering and swollen, some healed and some still seeping blood. The creature reeked of corpses" (p. 75).
We have colourful characters in the person of the good-hearted, patronizing Viking called Ofaeti ("Fatty", in a sense reminescent of Bragi) and the Eastern Slavic elderly merchant Leshii who, unlike his Obotrite counterpart in the first intstallment of the trilogy, gradually gains my sympathy. One complaint, though, is that the mysterious tracker Chakhlyk exits the stage quite early...

4.0 out of 5 stars Better then Wolfsangel
2 August 2011 - Published on Amazon.com
A sequel to Wolfsangel doesn't disappoint. The action is fast-paced and up until the very end the reader is trying to guess which character has which role in rehearsal of Ragnarok. The attention to historical details that the author puts in the book is great and he really successfully translates the medieval world on the pages of the book.
Especially fascinating is the characterization of the Fenrir and moral dilemmas he faces as he tries to fight the Wolf inside him. It makes a reader feel much more sympathy to the Wolf then in the first book where he is simply the beast.
If you liked the unique mixture of Nordic mythology and historical fantasy in Wolfsangel you will love Fenrir.

When Schuyler Kleibusch noticed bumps on his scalp three years ago, he thought they were a typical teenage issue.
Schuyler saw a doctor, who referred him to a dermatologist.
A biopsy revealed the ugly truth behind the bumps.
The dermatologist immediately sent him to Spectrum Health Helen DeVos Children's Hospital.
Scans revealed a giant tumor in his chest, and several other tumors.
Diagnosis? Stage 3 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a blood cancer that is a cousin to leukemia.
When Jessica Foley, MD, a pediatric hematology-oncology specialist, told him the news, he asked if he could still play football.
She prayed her son's undefeated record would remain in his fight against cancer.
Schuyler started chemotherapy the morning after diagnosis. He continued with chemo treatments for two and a half years, finishing last July.
He couldn't play football his freshman year at Northview High School, but competed as a sophomore and this past season as a junior.
On Sunday, Feb. 4, he hoped to see himself on a bigger football stage. A worldwide one.
Schuyler participated in a Super Bowl ad for Hyundai. Although he didn't appear in the ad that aired with 3:07 left in the game, Schuyler did appear in a commercial that published on the car company's Facebook page during the Super Bowl broadcast.
The car company flew Schuyler and his family out to Minnesota the last weekend in January for filming. While he was there, Good Morning America also interviewed him. That segment is scheduled to air Monday morning.
In addition to a "really messy but really good" cheese-stuffed burger at Hell's Kitchen, Schuyler's favorite part of the journey was the NFL Super Bowl Experience at the Minneapolis Convention Center. There, he got to see the Lombardi trophy, Super Bowl rings, get autographs from players and immerse himself in the festival flavor of the game.
"I'm a football player so that was really cool," he said.
Schuyler was one of 19 childhood cancer survivors from around the country to participate in the Super Bowl commercial. Not everyone made the final cut.
But he may appear in future Hyundai commercials.
During filming, he talked about his cancer experience.
"I talked about my medical journey and pushing through it, living life day by day, not ever taking for granted what I had," he said.
He also got to talk with some Hyundai customers, and to thank them.
The car company donates a portion of proceeds from every vehicle sale to pediatric cancer research.
Schuyler said he's thankful for past research that likely led to his current remission. He still returns to Helen DeVos Children's Hospital for monthly checkups.
Jones said she's proud of her son.
She filmed a short video of the moment she told him he would be flying to Minnesota to take part in a Super Bowl commercial. You can view it on Facebook on "Schuyler's Fight" page.
Jones said although Schuyler is winning his fight, some of his friends were not so fortunate.
And part of looking forward is trying to make a difference.
Rick and I are so proud of not only Schuyler and Jana's strength and focus the past few years, but of family, friends and community who have surrounded them with love, prayers, and support. This canopy of support has shone a bright light on the importance of research in defeating not just childhood cancer, but all cancer.
Thank you, Hyundai, for years supporting cancer research behind the scenes, and for bringing the importance of this to the biggest stage possible!
I am so elated that you are doing so well. Keep smiling!!
What a super experience for that super kid!
The groundswell of support for Schuyler from friends, extended family and the community have made this battle a tiny bit easier for Schuyler and my daughter. I hope every child with cancer has this support!

FILM REVIEW: The Relic – The BFI London Film Festival 2020
Writer: Natalie Erika James and Christian White
Director: Natalie Erika James
This new Australian horror begins with one of the genre's most familiar trope: the overflowing bath tub. It's such a common scene that it's a wonder that any woman runs a bath in a house that has signs of eerie goings-on. One of the best examples of the scary bath is in the underrated What Lies Beneath, Robert Zemeckis's creepy movie starring Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfieffer. That was twenty years ago, but since then every horror film must reimagine this scene.
Edna lives in a rambling house a few hours out of Melbourne. She's in her 80's but she keeps herself busy by sculpting weird shapes out of candles. One day she goes missing causing her daughter Kay and granddaughter Sam to come and look for her in the forest behind the house. A few days later she returns, bloody and ragged, but she refuses to tell her family where she has been. Kay worries that her mother's disappearance is a sign of dementia, and starts making plans to remove her to a home.
There are suggestions that Edna may not have gone very far at all. There are post-it notes in every room reminding Edna to carry out everyday tasks such as shutting doors, taking pills, and turning off the taps. The house makes noises in the night-time, and a black mould creeps over the wallpaper and even over the front door, which once used to be the door of the hut that Edna's relatives first lived in when they settled in the area. This is the first sign that Natalie Erika James and co-writer Christian White perhaps have more than family dynamics in their sight.
Emily Mortimer plays Kay, a woman who slowly realises that she could do more to help her ageing mother. Surprisingly, it's an authentic performance for a horror movie, and likewise Bella Heathcote, playing uni dropout Sam, doesn't ratchet up the hysteria even when she becomes lost within the house's secret rooms. It's down to veteran actor Robyn Nevin to provide the chills, but she does so to exact pity and understanding.
It's an efficient horror, despite the fact that it lacks any real scares, but The Relic is, of course, an examination of ageing, rather than of monsters and ghouls. In its final minutes, The Relic also points in other directions and to quote the earlier horror film, The Relic is interested in what lies beneath. What lies beneath any mortal human, but also what lies beneath present day Australian society. Already the internet is full of explanations of these bizarre closing moments, but in the end The Relic may have more in common with Jordan Peele's Get Out than it does The Amityville Horror.

Das Cielito a la venida de la expedición española (der vollständige Titel lautet: Cielito a la venida de la expedición española al Río de la Plata) oder Deutsch in etwa: Das der Überfahrt der spanischen Expedition (zum Río de la Plata) gewidmete Cielito ist ein von Bartolomé Hidalgo 1819 gedichtetes Revolutionslied in 104 Versen bzw. 26 vierzeiligen Strophen.

Inhalt

Vers 1–4
Zunächst bezieht sich dieses Cielito auf ein weiteres Revolutionslied, das ebenfalls zunächst als Pamphlet erschienene Cielito patriótico que compuso un gaucho para cantar la acción de Maipú, Deutsch etwa: Patriotisches Cielito, das von einem Gaucho komponiert wurde, um die Schlacht von Maipú zu besingen. Auf diese Weise wird eine Kontinuität zwischen der Schlacht von Maipù und der bevorstehenden Schlacht mit der spanischen Expedition hergestellt. Der Sänger, der in seinem Cielito die für die Unabhängigkeitskämpfer erfolgreiche Schlacht von Maipú besungen habe, könne nun erneut seine Gitarre stimmen.

Vers 5–8
Wie so oft in der späteren gauchesken Dichtung soll der Konsum eines hochprozentigen alkoholischen Getränks dem Sänger das Singen erleichtern.

Vers 9–16
Es folgen Spottverse über Ferdinand VII., der seine spanische Kolonie doch von hinten nehmen solle, die Unabhängigkeitskämpfer würden ihn bis zum letzten Mann bekämpfen.

Vers 17–28
Weitere Spottverse beziehen sich auf den Befehlshaber der Expedition, den General José O'Donnell.

Vers 29–36
Hier werden die Spanier erneut an die Niederlage in der Schlacht von Maipú erinnert.

Vers 37–68
In diesen acht Strophen, sollen die Unabhängigkeitskämpfer ermutigt, die Spanier eingeschüchtert werden. Dabei werden als für das Territorium der Unabhängigkeitskämpfer und dessen Bewohner typische Elemente in Abgrenzung zu Spanien und den Spaniern genannt, wie z.B: der Tero bzw. Bronzekiebitz, das Chiripà, ein für Gauchos typisches Bekleidungsstück und die Gauchos selbst. Die Herrschaft der Spanier wird als Fremdherrschaft bezeichnet, die drohende Rückeroberung diene der Versklavung, vor allem der amerikanischen Frauen.

Vers 69–76
Ferdinand VII. wird erneut verhöhnt. Er könne zwischen den bolas und dem Lasso wählen, wobei es sich bei den bolas um Kugeln handelt, die am Ende eines Stricks befestigt sind, der sich mithilfe der physischen Eigenschaften der Kugel um das Bein des Viehs wickelt, nach dem die bolageworfen wurde, und dieses zu Fall bringt. Auch hierbei handelt es sich um Merkmale mit denen zwischen Spaniern bzw. Spanien und Amerikanern bzw. Amerika unterschieden wird. In der darauffolgenden Strophe wird Spanien in Abgrenzung zu Amerika außerdem mit der Monarchie und der Inquisition assoziiert.

Vers 76–80
Erneut Verse, die den Kämpfern auf Seiten der Unabhängigkeitsbewegung gegenüber den Spaniern Mut machen sollen.

Vers 81–96
Hier werden die Spanier erneut angesprochen. Diesmal ist der Ton versöhnlicher. Sie werden dazu aufgefordert, sich gegen ihren König aufzulehnen. Dieser könne doch, wenn er gestürzt worden und ihm infolgedessen langweilig sei, in seiner Freizeit Disteln bzw. Kakteen züchten. Die Spanier würden für den König kämpfen und nichts weiter als dessen Grillen und Schmach ernten. Sollten die Spanier in Frieden kommen, würden sie in Frieden mit den Amerikanern leben dürfen. Für den König zu kämpfen und sein Leben für ihn zu opfern sei völliger Unsinn.

Vers 97–104
Der Sinn des Unabhängigkeitskampfes bestehe hingegen in der Erlangung der Freiheit. Dementsprechend erfolgt die Losung "Freiheit oder Tod". Den irregeleiteten Spanier werde man entschlossen entgegentreten.

Weitere Informationen
 Das Cielito a la venida de la expedición española erschien 1819 zum ersten Mal als Pamphlet.
 Der Titel bezieht sich auf eine Militärexpedition, die die Spanier im Hafen von Cádiz vorbereiteten, um die ehemaligen spanischen Kolonien zurückzuerobern. Der Aufbruch der Expedition wurde 1820 jedoch durch eine vom General Riego angeführte Meuterei vereitelt.

"Think About That for a Moment"
That's what Gayle King, a co-anchor on CBS This Morning, advised us to do as she reported on the largest forest fire in California history during the rapid-fire, tightly-edited Your World in 90 Seconds opening segment on the show. (At one time, I did not like newscasts to be referred to as "shows." I thought of them as being serious business. That was during the Walter Cronkite era. Now, unfortunately, the term "show" is accurate." None of today's news shows comes close to the numbers Cronkite, Brokaw, or Jennings newscasts pulled on CBS, NBC, and ABC. Admittedly, there were fewer choices then. But, I digress. Back to MS King and her advice.) If we had stopped to "think about that," we would have missed the beginning of the next story.
That is one advantage that newspapers and magazines had over broadcast news. We could stop to think about a story before we went on to read the next one. However, there is now something that lessens that advantage. It's called a DVR, which stands for "digital video recorder." Miss a story because you're thinking about the one you just watched, just hit the rewind. I wouldn't be without a DVR. The latest stats I could find online show a little more than half of TV households have a DVR. Commercial TV stations and networks probably weren't too pleased with them when they came into use because a lot of folks, including me, record most of what they watch so they can fast forward through the commercials. I do watch some commercials, the clever ones that give me a little entertainment or important information for my time spent watching their sales pitch. They have to come at the beginning of the break to hook me.

Don't Let Them Snow You
Recognizing Propaganda
Every minute of every day you are subjected to propaganda. People are using words, pictures, and even music to influence the way you think. Before I get into how propaganda works, the techniques that are used, I should define the term as used in this post.
Propaganda is the use of one-sided messages to influence the emotions, opinions, attitudes, and actions of targeted audiences for political, ideological, or commercial purposes. The messages may or may not be factual. That's a paraphrase of a definition provided by Richard Alan Nelson in a Wikipedia article.
A very effective explanation of how propagandists manipulate us is a documentary, Propaganda and Manipulation: How mass media engineers and distorts our perceptions, by Jerry Kroft, Ph.D., a Psychologist, who wrote Duped! Delusion, denial, and the end of the American Dream. You can see it on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pfo5gPG72KM
He explains the basic tools that are used.
1.Reframing
2. Repeated Affirmations
3. Vicarious/ Imitative learning
4. Distraction and denial
5. Classical & operant conditioning.
It would be great, in my view, if this were shown to every11th grader in the United States.

What's the Hurry?
If I didn't have a DVR, I would miss a lot of what is said on the CBS This Morning newscasts. I find myself rewinding a lot to be able to understand some reports. And sometimes even that doesn't work because the information isn't properly explained. Not only do the anchors rush a lot of their copy and run words together, but the production of the reports is often too tight.. Maybe the editors should cut down on the number of stories and give each one a little more breathing room. Also, in my view, there needs to be a brief pause between the reports, and transitions help the viewer stay on track.
Any basic course in writing for broadcast news makes it clear that writing for broadcasts is different from writing for newspapers and magazines. Readers can pick their speed and can easily reread the copy. Listeners and viewers have to be able to understand what is reported the first time around, especially if they don't have DVRs. Perhaps it's time for some producers to get back to the basics.
For some reason, the three major network producers seem to better understand this on the evening flagship newscasts.

TV is Still Politically Powerful
IT STILL DOMINATES THE NEWS MEDIA SCENE
If anyone truly understood the political power of TV it was the late Roger Ailes, the creator of FOX News, who, according to news report, died because he fell and hit his head in the bathroom of his Palm Beach, Florida home. He played a major role in helping Republican presidential candidates from Richard Nixon to Donald Trump get elected by advising them on how to use TV.
President Trump certainly seemed to understand Ailes' "orchestra pit theory." It enabled him to get tons of free TV news time, especially during the Republican primary fights. TV fell for the ploy hook, line, and sinker. Many, including me, believe this is the main reason he won the nomination. The "pit" theory, I read in Wikipedia, is explained in this Ailes quote:
"If you have two guys on a stage and one guy says, 'I have a solution to the Middle East problem,' and the other guy falls into the orchestra pit, who do you think is going to be on the evening news?"
During Nixon's time, TV was, no doubt where, to a large degree, elections were lost or won. It was and still is where most people get their news. At least, that's what a Pew poll tells us that was the case in 2016.. However, that is changing.
The poll shows that 57 percent of US adults get their news from TV, cable, network, and local; 38 percent from social media, websites/apps; 25 percent from radio, and 20 percent from print newspapers.
However, the trend appears headed online. 50 percent of people ages 18 – 29 get their news online, 27 percent of them get it on TV, 14 percent on radio and 5 percent print newspapers.
49 percent of 30 through 49 years old get their news online, 45 percent on TV, 27 percent on radio, and 10 percent from print newspapers.
Seniors still depend on TV heavily, 72 percent ages 50 – 64, and 85 percent ages 64 plus. The age 64 plus crowd give print newspapers their highest percentage, 48 percent.
Where I get my news? From TV, online, radio, and magazines. What about newspapers? Definitely. Big time. But, not print editions, unless you count the Ledger-Enquirer online copy of the print edition as a print edition. I read both the e-edition and the website edition. I also occasionally sample newspaper websites from Washington D.C, Atlanta, New York, Israel, U.K., Russia, France, China, and other countries. It's amazing what's out there for us to read now.

Columbus Gets a Local Radio Station for Intellectuals?
There is good reason to think that is the case. The sophisticated jazz music I'm listening to right now is a good start. Here's the news release published by CSU University Relations yesterday.
COLUMBUS, Ga. – Columbus State University went live today with its first radio station, thanks to a local contribution. Just after midnight, 88.5 WCUG-FM Cougar Radio signed on and inaugurated a new era in student broadcasting opportunities for CSU.
Housed in CSU's Department of Communication on the RiverPark campus and operated by students under the direction of department faculty and staff, WCUG-FM enables university faculty and students to produce and broadcast original content over the 22,000-watt station, 24 hours a day. In addition to original content, the station will offer a broadcast schedule of music and other programming to fit diverse tastes and interests.
"The CSU Department of Communication is growing in number of majors and in classroom and community opportunities for students to gain practical experience in many areas of the industry said Danna Gibson, chair of the department. "We are excited to launch the station and provide opportunities for communication students to learn all aspects of running a radio station. We are grateful for this gift that will enhance not only our communication studies, public relations and integrated media concentrations but also will open opportunities for all CSU students."
For now, the music on 88.5 will not change much. But that will change soon. The station plans a limited schedule of programming in the first few months of operation, according to Gibson. The schedule will expand in fall with additional original programming and news, as well as music and sports. "We look to faculty and students to tell us what they want to hear on WCUG," she said. "This is a great learning lab for our students, but it also is a new alternative in radio listening for our university and the community. I invite you to listen to us as we grow," she adde

Escape Radio, TV, Books, and Movies
When I was young, fiction interested me more than non-fiction. Since my family subscribed to both the Columbus Ledger and the Columbus Enquirer, I did see the front page headlines on the way to the comics and movie ads, and I did see the newsreels when I went to a movie, so I did have an idea of what was going on in the world. But it was the feature films and the cartoons that I cared about.
Then, as I got older I became more interested in reality. A highlight of the year was radio, and later, TV coverage of the Democratic and Republican National Conventions. And when, as a teenager, I got into radio broadcasting, announcers did a little of everything back then. They read commercials, newscasts, and hosted disc jockey shows. It was the disc jockey shows that I wanted to do the most. Still, reading wire service radio news copy served me well when I matured enough to specialize in news, first on radio and then on TV. I learned to interview news subjects, edit audio tape for radio, and shoot and edit film and video for TV news.
I basically stopped reading fiction, concentrating on non-fiction. But, I never stopped going to the movies, watching entertainment TV, and listening to music, live and recorded. All of us need some escape from the real world. And now I find myself escaping even more when I watch TV and go to the movies. There is so much distressing news in the world. Fortunately, there are enough quality TV programs and movies to hold my interest. A prime example of quality TV programs is Downton Abbey. The British are especially good at producing period series and movies for TV. Downton Abbey is over for this year, but Selfridges, another excellent period series follows it, so I won't complain.

An Advertiser's Solution to Commercial Fast-forwarding
As I watched a rare commercial break this morning – I record just about everything I watch and fast-forward through the commercials – I was truly impressed with some photographic magic. A fresh-faced, well-scrubbed young teen-age boy came on the screen to tell me about the problems drugs can cause a guy. As he explained what they do to the brain, his face morphed seamlessly into a scraggly bearded, unkempt, troubled youth. As I said, it was seamless. And, the video trick did not distract from the message; it enhanced it.
This type of video art made me reflect on how advertisers could cut way down on people fast-forwarding through commercials by doing more of it. In other words, give the viewer something artistic and/or entertaining to watch. Some do.
The very effective Aflac duck commercial is a prime example. That one is quite expensive to make so not every advertiser can afford something like it. However, much lower-budgeted commercials can also be artistic and entertaining. Some of you may remember from many years ago the two local seniors advertising Southern Maid No-burn Bacon. At the end of their verbal sparring, one would always end with, "He'll never learn." A lot of folks laughed at those commercials and bought that bacon.

My Take on "Rather Outspoken" by Dan Rather
Dan Rather's book "Rather Outspoken" was especially interesting to me, having met with him personally a few times, and having followed his career with CBS News.
Just as he did, I always thought of CBS News back in the old days as being the gold standard of broadcast journalism. We both had great respect for the news organization that Edward R. Murrow built starting during World War II.
Murrow's gutsy reporting got too much for CBS head Bill Paley and he was forced out, but others, people like Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather continued that tradition, and were backed at crucial times such as the Watergate scandal by CBS President Frank Stanton and Paley.
But, Rather now says that changed and the network decided not to continue in the CBS News Murrow and Cronkite tradition, opting to trend toward entertainment, and forcing him out in the process. He also says the switch didn't work, ratings fell, and now the network has decided to, fortunately, go back to practicing serious journalism.
Meanwhile, though 80 years old, he continues to do weekly news documentaries for the HDNet. And, as the flap of the book says, he would like to see more investigative journalism programs like his, "even in the face of corporatization, politization, and trivialization of the news".
The flap also says, "Dan Rather also makes an eloquent case for the critical importance of a free and independent press as a check on political power, and its responsibility to be the voice of the people, to force government to be fair, reasonable, and democratic." Amen.
He spends a lot of time in the book defending the report about former President George W. Bush's alleged disobeying a direct order, and either going AWOL or being a deserter while in the Texas Air National Guard. That was the story that caused the network to force him out, he says. To this day, he maintains the report was correct. Not everyone agrees.
All in all, the book was a page-turner for me. He made a lot of enemies during his tenure at CBS News, and he admits that and thinks making people angry is going to happen when investigative reporters do their jobs. But, the fact is, he was and still is a courageous reporter, and it paid off for him for a long time. And he's still at it.

A Dick's World Reader Comments on the State of Television News
By Susan Stephenson
This post was sent as a comment on the previous Dick's World post about television reporting of Hurricane Irene. Since it is longer than most comments, makes interesting points, and is well-written, I decided to run it as a featured post. That doesn't mean I endorse everything she says, or that I don't. It means she gets her say.
Unfortunately, people in the TV news biz these days know how to set up a shot visually, but all too frequently they are woefully uninformed on virtually ANYTHING else. They have no background knowledge in anything, therefore can present nothing in context or in depth. And it shows.
Given the resources available on the internet, why do our local reporters mispronounce so many words, and the names of places and people? Especially, names that have been in the news on a national or international level? It's a ridiculous lack of professionalism.
It would be an interesting experiment to sit down with a stop watch to time how much actual news is in our telecasts. After you take out the teasers on what they plan to tell us after the next commercial, the promos for other network shows, the recaps of what took place on previous network shows, and the "happy talk" between presenters, I bet ten minutes of real news would be a stretch.
An informed citizenry is critical to our nation. What passes for journalism in the 21st century is a travesty.

Rupert and William Randolph
Being a retired broadcast journalist, it's de rigueur that I comment on the News of the World fiasco in the UK. No doubt it adds even more tarnish to the news industry, but it's certainly not the first time that a news corporation put profits above ethics.
Time put Rupert Murdoch in the same category as William Randolph Hearst, and that makes a lot of sense. Controlling information is the source of great power and influence. And making a lot money is a part of that equation. Hearst, in large part, achieved his power through yellow journalism with his New York Journal. That paper was credited with playing a role in starting the Spanish-American War in 1898. He ended up, like Murdoch, owning a lot of papers, magazines, a movie production company, and added broadcasting when it came along. He basically lost control of his empire when he greatly over-extended it.
Murdoch's power is basically the same as was Hearst's, though on a global basis, it is probably much larger. Just as Hearst relied on sensationalism with his New York Journal, Murdoch did the same with News of the World. Murdock's biggest money-maker is not his papers, though, but his movie studio, 20th Century Fox. His Fox network, with shows like American Idol, is very lucrative, and so is his Fox News cable channel. His problem is not the same as Hearst's, though. It's not that he overextended, it's that one of his high-profile newspapers got caught being unethical and illegal by allegedly hacking phone calls. It may not be his downfall, but it has definately damaged his brand's reputation, and the value of News Corp has dropped since the scandal broke.
What does all of this do to the credibility of the journalism business? Probably not much. Its credibility had plummeted before this ever happened. I suppose it has always been about the money, but there was a time when it was also about a lot more, especially doing the right thing for the common good. Actually, though, it is also about more than the money, because, in my view, especially with people like Murdoch, it's about influence.
There is hope, though. There are still some old-fashioned, dedicated, ethical, and committed journalists. Name one, you might say. The first to come to mind is Bill Moyers.
