German hip-hop

Hip-hop has morphed from a creation in New York's subculture of underprivileged youth into a global movement. In Germany, it has a long tradition of addressing problems drawn from immigrant youth culture.
https://p.dw.com/p/192iY
It's well-known that hip-hop emerged in the 1970s as an underground phenomenon in New York boroughs like Brooklyn, Harlem and the South Bronx - mainly among young African-Americans and Latinos. The stylish clubs associated with 70s disco culture were far removed from the grit, crime and violence that plagued many neighborhoods where hip-hop began.
Young and disenfranchised New Yorkers developed their own kind of party that brought together various forms of expression. DJs spun their records while MCs (Masters of Ceremony) rapped along with their own lyrics. B-Boys, or breakdancers, created their own styles, and people scrawled graffiti on buildings and walls.
Hip-hop became not just the driving force for a new kind of party, but also defined a new identity. Rather than taking their problems to the street, many hip-hoppers addressed them in song. New York's ghettos became home to hip-hop competitions.
'Foreign in One's Own Country'
The trend took hold abroad. The first wave of English-language hip-hop came to Germany from the United States at the beginning of the 1980s. Hip-hop parties and competitions sprang up at youth centers - drawing rappers, sprayers and break-dancers from across the country. But German lyricists struggled to find a new vocabulary for this emergent style of music.
The Heidelberg band Advanced Chemistry can be credited with helping to change that, becoming pioneers in the scene. Starting in the mid-80s, the group and front man Rapper Torch rapped in German to enthusiastic fans. The young men rapped about their identities as Germans with immigrant backgrounds, as well as about racism in everyday life, poverty and unemployment with German lyrics like, "Not recognized, foreign in one's own country / Not a foreigner, but definitely a stranger."

But the Heidelberg rappers didn't enjoy their national breakthrough until autumn 1992 with their single "Fremd im eigenen Land" (Foreign in One's Own Country). The song's popularity came after a series of violent attacks on an asylum seekers' center by neo-Nazis in August 1992. Torch, who was 21 at the time, recalls how the song originated: "The racist attacks happened while we were recording in the studio, so we also recorded the news from the radio and put that into the beginning of the song."
Fresh Familee - Ahmet Gündüz
With "Fremd im eigenen Land," Advanced Chemistry gave voice to the issues faced by many Germans with immigrant family backgrounds. In the wake of the track's success, immigrants - often together with native Germans - hip-hop groups began to spring up around the country, primarily in larger cities. In contrast to more commercial and less political hip-hoppers like Puff Daddy in the US or the Fantastische Vier in Germany, for these groups, hip-hop was a way in which they could address political injustices and the exclusion of minorities in society.
Fresh Familee was among the first immigrant hip-hop groups. Turkish, Moroccan and Macedonian young people, along with German-Turkish Tahir Cevik, founded the group at the beginning of the 1990s in the low-income area of Ratingen-West, near Düsseldorf. They addressed the problems immigrants face as well as drugs, violence and crime in their songs - topics with which the group's members had first-hand experience.

Fresh Familee catapulted to fame with their song "Ahmet Gündez" in which frontman Tahir Cevik sang about the problems of second-generation Turkish immigrants in Germany: "Du musse schon gut zuhören, ich kann nix sehr viel Deutsch / Ich komm von die Türkei, zwei Jahre her / Ich mich sehr gefreut, doch Leben hier ist schwer" (You have to listen closely, I can't speak much German / I'm from Turkey, been two years / I was looking forward to it, but life here is tough).
Fresh Familee disbanded at the end of the 1990s, but is still considered one of the pioneers of the diverse hip-hop scene that has developed in Germany. The group helped pave the way for names like Aziza A., Challa and Kool Savas - and even for more recent commercial successes in Germany like Sido or Bushido.
ECHO 2013: the United Nations of music?
The major players of the German music industry all convened in Berlin for the 22nd annual ECHO Music Awards. But is the event really comparable to the Grammys, or are critics right to call it too self-congratulatory? (22.03.2013)

Music forbidden to youth: Germany's "index"
Right-wing hate speech and violent sexual fantasies are common in the lyrics of some songs. But now, Germany's Federal Department for Media Harmful to Young People is sounding the battle cry against such explicit texts. (20.03.2013)
Max Herre: Back to rap
Young German rappers like Cro and Casper are all over the German charts right now. But the old hats in the rap game have still got it, and Max Herre, one of the pioneers of the genre in Germany, proves it. (20.09.2012)

Mario Cuomo Hospitalized for Heart Condition
By Leigh Haugh on November 29, 2014 1 Comment
Mario Cuomo, the former New York governor, has been hospitalized for an undisclosed heart condition, according to the governor's office. The news was announced on Saturday, November 29. The 82-year-old father of current Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) was a three-term Democratic governor of New York, from which the elder statesman held office from 1983 to 1994.
Details of the former governor's heart condition and prognosis were not released, including which hospital the elder Cuomo was admitted into. The former statesman and his wife, Matilda, continue to reside in Manhattan.
According to reports, Mario Cuomo spent Thanksgiving at a Manhattan hospital with an undisclosed heart condition. The elder statesman was last seen in public at his son's re-election celebration on November 4. While the former statesman made no remarks that evening, he was introduced by his son and walked out in front of the crowd as part of a unified family showing of victory. He was hospitalized several days later. His wife, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and the rest of family are reported to be frequently seen at his bedside.
The elder Cuomo served as the 52nd Governor of New York for three terms (1983-1994) and Lieutenant Governor of New York from 1979 to 1982, as well as Secretary of State of New York from 1975 to 1978. The former statesman was known for his liberal policies and eloquent public speeches. In fact, his keynote speech at the 1984 Democratic National Convention (DNC) in San Francisco, California, where he attacked then-President Reagan's record, placed him in the national spotlight, and he was widely considered a front-runner for the Democratic nomination for president in both 1988 and 1992. However, he declined to seek the nomination in both instances. His legacy has served as an inspiration for many Democrats and led to his nickname as the "Hamlet on the Hudson."
The former governor was defeated for a fourth term by George Pataki in the so-called "Republican Revolution" of 1994 and he subsequently retired from politics. He is the father of five, including current New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and journalist Chris Cuomo, who is currently a correspondent at CNN.
The former governor is a native New Yorker, who was born in the Briarwood section of Queens to Italian immigrants. His father, Andrea, was from Nocera Inferiore, Italy, and his mother, Immaculata, was from Tramonti. The family owned a store located in South Jamaica, Queens in NYC. He attended public school (New York City P.S. 50) and St. John's Preparatory School. The former statesman was also a baseball player, and while attending St. John's University in 1952, he was signed as an outfielder with the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball franchise. He received a $2,000 bonus that he eventually used to help purchase an engagement ring for his wife. During his short-lived baseball career, batting helmets were not required equipment. Cuomo played for the Pirates until he suffered a head injury, which ended his sports career.
After his injury, the former governor returned to St. John's University and earned his bachelor's degree in 1953. Then, he pursued a legal career and attended St. John's University School of Law, from which he graduated tied for first place in his class in 1956. Despite having been a top student and obtaining prestigious clerkships, Cuomo encountered ethnic prejudice when he applied to law firms. This attitude was commonplace at the time and led to his rejection by more than 50 firms before he was hired by a small but established office in Brooklyn, NY. In addition to his work as a practicing attorney, Cuomo was also an adjunct professor at St. John's Law School in New York City.

The elder statesman and his wife are lifelong residents of New York City.

Don Henley visits July 17th

Best known as a founder of the legendary rock band, the Eagles, as well as an influential solo artist, Don Henley has maintained an extraordinary commitment to music and to various philanthropic efforts throughout his career, including a dedication to environmental issues and artists' rights.
Raised in a small East Texas town, Henley was drawn to the sounds of exotic music broadcast from distant radio stations in New Orleans, Nashville and Ciudad Acuna, Mexico. These stations introduced him to the blues, bluegrass, gospel, jazz and rock and roll, paving the way for his future as an artist.
As a solo artist and as a member of the Eagles, Don Henley has received countless accolades, numerous gold and platinum records and performed sold-out concert tours worldwide. A highly-respected musical artist, Henley launched his solo career in 1982 with his debut album I Can't Stand Still, featuring the hit single "Dirty Laundry." 1984's Building The Perfect Beast yielded four hit singles, garnered five GRAMMY nominations and won the award for Best Rock Vocal Performance, Male for "The Boys Of Summer." The artist's track record continued unabated with 1989's The End Of The Innocence, which yielded three more hits, including the title track, and brought Henley another Best Rock Vocal GRAMMY Award. Henley is a founding member, vocalist and songwriter of the Eagles. The group was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.
Don Henley toured with the Eagles following the release of the band's acclaimed documentary, History of the Eagles, which ended in July. Cass County, his first solo album in 15 years, was released on September 25, 2015.

Published in Scientometrics 67(2), 2006, 231-258. Abstract: Co-words have been considered as carriers of meaning across different domains in studies of science, technology, and society. Words and co-words, however, obtain meaning in sentences, and sentences obtain meaning in their contexts of use. At the science/society interface, words can be expected to have different meanings: the codes of communication that provide meaning to words differ on the varying sides of the interface. Furthermore, meanings and interfaces may change over time. Given this structuring of meaning across interfaces and over time, we distinguish between metaphors and diaphors as reflexive mechanisms that facilitate the translation between contexts. Our empirical focus is on three recent scientific controversies: Monarch butterflies, Frankenfoods, and stem-cell therapies. This study explores new avenues that relate the study of co-word analysis in context with the sociological quest for the analysis and processing of meaning.

Sundance 2022: Tig Notaro's "Am I OK?" Is a Coming Out Story That Belongs in the 2010s
By Drew Burnett Gregory
Autostraddle is back at Sundance — virtually! Drew Gregory is coming to you daily for the next week with all the LGBTQ+ movies at one of the most prestigious film festivals in the world. Follow her on Twitter for more.
If Tig Notaro and Stephanie Allynne's directorial debut Am I Ok? had been released in 2015 it would have been sweet and mediocre — in 2022 it's insufferable.
Dakota Johnson plays Lucy, a 32-year-old painter and masseuse receptionist whose primary relationship is her co-dependent friendship with Jane (a charming Sonoya Mizuno). She never dates and doesn't know why until two major events occur in her life — Jane announces that she's moving to London and Kiersey Clemons starts working at her spa.
Lucy realizes she's a lesbian and begins to spiral in all the expected ways. She feels embarrassed it took this long, timid on next steps, and generally overwhelmed. She's relied on her friendship with Jane to fill the spot where romance could be but now Jane is leaving and it's time to move on. It's time to move on to Kiersey Clemons' character Brit who has been flirting like she might want to make out.
Making an indie romcom that's actually about friendship hasn't been a novelty since Frances Ha (2013) ripped off Girlfriends (1978). Making one of the women straight and one of them gay hasn't been a novelty since Life Partners (2014). Combining that with a coming out story hasn't been a novelty since Almost Adults (2016). And as far as it being a coming-of-age movie about a woman in her 30s, the only thing the canon of lesbian cinema has more of than actual coming-of-age movies are tales of delayed discovery.
There's nothing inherently wrong with a movie being formulaic and cliché. Not every queer movie needs to break new ground. But when a movie stars Dakota Johnson and hits the same story beats as so many other movies, it can't get away with being mediocre. It can't get away with just having a solid cast and a good soundtrack. It can't get away with writing so bad from longtime Ellen Show writer Lauren Pomerantz that it feels like revenge against Johnson for ruining her former boss' career.
It's not just that the script has less laughs than 30 seconds of a Notaro stand up special. It's also an absolute mess on a character and structural level. Every plot turn feels contrived — drama for drama's sake — and the characters feel less like people than like lists of stated personality traits deepened only by good performances. The movie wants us to believe Jane is controlling — they say this explicitly — but we don't actually feel that. The way the movies gives examples— like with her saying to eat a certain muffin — feel like additions suggested by a bad screenwriting class rather than true representations of those qualities.
Clemons' character, especially, is totally baffling. Of course, a first gay crush being filled with confusion is realistic. But the ways Brit is confusing feel twisted for plot convenience rather than grounded in real experiences. Brit is not a person — she's a charming series of conflicting plot devices that help Lucy on her journey.
If I seem particularly harsh on what is ultimately a harmless 86 minute Sundance dramedy, it's because so many other queer women movies deserve the press this will inevitably receive. It's because this movie is not only dated in its plot but in its inclusivity. The only scene we get in a queer space takes place in a mythical LA lesbian bar populated by only one person who is masc of center. Everyone else is femme. Everyone is thin. The first time a fat person is on-screen it's toward the end of the movie to mock the way a man is shoving food in his mouth. The film also repeatedly connects lesbianism to vaginas. Which, look, it's not unrealistic for a straight woman and a newly out cis woman to be hyper-focused on genitalia. But maybe we don't need any more movies with characters where this would be realistic. Or maybe we could cut those lines because it's not like anything else in this movie was grounded in realism.
It's great that since the early 2010s — when this movie should've been made — white filmmakers have learned to not have all-white casts. But placing talented actors of color into poorly written parts surrounded by an almost all-white production team isn't really changing anything. This movie is still indicative of gay cinema's most regressive instincts.
Sometimes when I'm assigned to cover a movie, I request that somebody else take over. I know my voice isn't always needed in the response to a film. But this is the first time I considered doing that not because of marginalized experiences I lack but because of marginalized experiences I have.
I can imagine a lot of cis women — especially cis women who look like Dakota Johnson — really enjoying this movie. I can imagine this being a breezy good time for people who don't cringe when vaginas are equated to womanhood or fat people exist only to be mocked. Or I can even imagine this being a meaningful film for women whose experiences mirror Lucy's — and who haven't seen a lot of other lesbian films.
I know that Am I OK? was not made for me. And that's okay. I'm glad Lauren Pomerantz got to tell her story even if she didn't do it well. I just wish more of us got the same opportunities to tell our stories. I wish the dozens of queer films released each year weren't still overwhelmingly about cis white thin people without disabilities.
But I shouldn't blame this one movie for those frustrations. And if you're like me and don't respond to this one, just know there are so many more movies than the ones starring famous actors. You don't need to limit yourself to the queer cinema that trends on Twitter. Some of our stories are being told — some of us are even doing it well.

You Need Help: Your Future In-Laws Won't Come to Your Wedding
It's Your Anniversary: Rent Was My First Class On Anti-Capitalism
Ugh, I was hoping for this to be good even though I found the synopsis underwhelming because I've got so much goodwill toward Tig. For anyone who's dying for this kind of story I guess rewatching One Mississippi is probably a better idea even though it doesn't center on Stephanie's experience.
Thanks for the review, Drew! Disappointing, I had been looking forward to this movie.
As someone who reads a lot of lesbian romance novels written by middle-aged white cis ladies, I feel like I'm going to enjoy this a lot, I'm impervious to bad writing or contrived plot devices to create drama for drama's sake when it comes to sapphic content.
Wow this review is needlessly mean! You didn't like it, we get it!
The review was generous. Film criticism is not about "mean" and "nice".
Drew, you're a great writer and I appreciate how how honest and even-handed you were.
That is what…. a review is….
I'm actually genuinely thrilled by how ruthless this is. Gay cinema is grown up now. Let's get down to brass tacks and expect better. I'm glad you didn't get someone else to cover it.
Big agree—I was really excited to see this film and I definitely still looking forward to it, but I will for sure be watching with a more critical eye for representation thanks to this review. The variety of diverse perspectives is one of my favorite parts of reading stuff on Autostraddle, and it's a huge part of why I come back here over and over again for queer media reviews. Thanks for sharing, Drew!
Totally agree. Queer cinema needs to be better, more diverse, more creative. I think being critical is totally fair.
shamblebot
Having watched this last night, I would say that I agree with Drew that there are a lot of plot contrivances and thin characterization but it wasn't enough to make me regret watching the film. Did it make me want to just rewatch One Mississippi? Kind of. I wonder if the script would have been better if it was written by Tig and/or Stephanie. But it was ultimately a pretty light movie, and I'm always here for more movies about friendships between straight women and queer women since one of my best friends is straight. Caveat also that I'm South Asian American, so I have largely given up on seeing myself in any kind of media, which makes watching a movie about a thin white woman more tolerable.
Y'all really don't like anything here huh?
You don't seem to have read a lot of Drew's reviews.
It does seem like the exact same premise as Life Partners. I wanted Tig and Stephanie to do better :(
this is too bad, since we know they've got One Mississippi-level storytelling somewhere in there!
i actually don't hate the idea of continuing to tell stories of people who come out in their thirties — hello, it's me, and when I was coming out at thirty, I couldn't find a lot of those stories that weren't either unwatchable (see Erin's old retro reviews) or about predators, like Loving Annabelle. So much seemed to be about teenagers! I'm sure they were out there, Drew, you would know better than me, but I didn't find them when I needed them, pre-2016.
all of which is to say that the last thing we need is another unwatchable one! and tig, as we know, can be a really poignant storyteller. here's hoping for a better next effort, i guess!
also these comments are cracking me up. i wonder how many people used to call Roger Ebert "mean." Like, film criticism is something that exists!
Oerba Dia Vanille
True, but Roger Ebert was also a cishet white man, and therefore was allowed to get away with it, while sadly it seems even in this space Drew is being attacked for not being "one of the nice ones." 😞
I miss the old days when the AS comments section used to be one of the only safe spaces on the internet. Trolls are the price of growth I guess.
I totally agree!! I'm not against coming out stories at all — I just want them to be about a wider variety of queers! And done well. haha
yes, please to a wider variety of queers and to deeper nuance in their stories forever and ever amen!
I don't think all queer movies have to go out of its way to represent everything. This sounds like a basic cis centric sapphic affair and that's not a mortal sin, it's not unrealistic that the vagina would be a central component of certain lesbians identity. I think that's fine.
It's just a shame it sounds like an average direct to DVD movie, but like I said in an earlier comment, I will probably enjoy it. I'm very basic.
This is such a good point. I also, selfishly, want more stories about older queer folks and people who don't figure themselves out in their teens or even their twenties. I'm also disappointed to hear that this isn't a good telling, because I was hopeful.
Returning to the comments to say that Drew is not being mean and people need to learn how to accept that a critic may have a different opinion of a movie than they do! It's 2022, we don't have to blindly endorse movies just because they're queer anymore, we can and should demand better. A media critic's job is to engage thoughtfully with the material and interpret the themes/artistic choices for a wider audience. I actually quite enjoyed the movie and I thought Drew was more than fair in her review.
Thank you for the review.
People did call Roger Ebert mean, but they also celebrated it because he was deliciously, wonderfully, entertainingly mean. There are even multiple books that collect his harshest reviews. This review has the harshness, but not necessarily the panache and humor of the best bad Ebert reviews, but I still like it. We are not obligated to like all queer art just cause it's queer!
I actually did find this scathing review to be wonderfully entertaining

"… writing so bad from longtime Ellen Show writer Lauren Pomerantz that it feels like revenge against Johnson for ruining her former boss' career" oh my god Drew this is brutal 😂😂😂🔪💀
Sylianne
The Suspiria remake is the only time I needed Dakota Johnson to play gay tbh. I'm not surprised this movie is a mess, it sounded so fucking boring just from the blurb.
msanon
so, people who don't like Drew's critical straightforward/blunt language respond with critical straightforward/blunt language. ummmm…..
Anna Dobson
Perfect comment. Watching the irony waft past and hopefully land on those who cannot swallow their own medicine.
Yeah this is certainly a harsh review at times but that's something that critics are allowed to do. Drew even acknowledges that it is harsh. You're also allowed to like it and disagree with everything in the review. I knew when I saw this movie coming out that Drew wouldn't like it for the exact reasons stated in the review but I like reading these reviews cause they challenge my very different opinion.

You didn't like the movie and expressed your opinion, totally fine.
I'm a little concearned about this idea that this movie "shouldn't be allowed to exist" 'cause it takes space from other movies that you personally prefer…
I interpreted Drew's review very differently. I didn't read anything that implied that this movie shouldn't exist. In fact she clearly states that she's glad it exists, she just wishes it were better and that other, less mainstream films got the same level of attention.
"I'm glad Lauren Pomerantz got to tell her story even if she didn't do it well. I just wish more of us got the same opportunities to tell our stories."
Munroe
Thanks. You saved me from suffering through this TERF movie.
This is a toxic point of view and only caters to the purity test nonsense toxic culture. By the sounds of it, this is very much like the hundreds of lesbian romance novels I've read who also were written by middle age white cis women (minus the fat jokes), it clearly (according to Drew) fails to represents all the aspects of our community but that doesn't make it a TERF movie, if anything you saying that shows how little you know about the hateful group of people that refer to themselves as TERFS. It's skinny white ladies going through drama, take it as it is.
(I know one of the leads is Asian, I meant in general, these kind of stories exist by the thousands in LESFIC world.)
Really? I don't think "terfs" refer to themselves as "terfs." In a tongue-in-cheek way, sure.

This is the type of comment which saddens me. Only one opinion please and make it the "popular" one.
No disrespectful language was used and I not in sighted any negative behaviour. This should be an open space for discussion.
Too often we are shut down. Those who shout loudest shouldn't get most
This review is written from the experience of Drew and is not erasing anyone.
I generally enjoy Drew's sharp critical eye, particularly as it relates to the latest season of Gen Q. She is clever, astute, and entertaining to listen to.
That said, I haven't seen this movie, so perhaps it's premature to react or respond to this critique. But I am rubbed the wrong way not by Drew's critical assessment of this film in the canon of queer cinema, but by this all or nothing view of media that seems to be developing, particularly within publications like this one. This idea that EVERY piece of content must include the complete spectrum of human life and lived experience because it is queer. That's simply not possible, for starters, but more importantly, it's detrimental to storytelling. I'm often so distracted by new projects that seem to care more about checking boxes than conveying earnest and authentic experiences, that I can't even begin to watch these series/films. For example, The Sex Lives of College Girls, Shrill, or the worst of all, And Just Like That—very different shows but all are trying so desperately to include one of every kind of person and every kind of experience, that it ultimately feels forced, cringey and falls flat. It dilutes stories rather than enriching them.
I'm a firm believer that every story is not for every person. And I actually really value that about films and tv. I love diving into a film that feels like home for one reason or another, and I can just as easily turn my back on those that don't. That's kind of the beauty of media and stories.
So all is to say, I could care less if a fat person is in a movie or not, if the full spectrum of queer people are in a film or not. I don't align with the full spectrum of queerness myself, so I'm not always drawn to queer media that doesn't line up with my vibe and interests. And that's fine, I'm sure they are wonderful for the people who do align with those stories. And I'm glad they exist in the world none the less.
But man, I'm deeply tired of this specific type of critique. Stories do NOT need to represent everyone, even if they are queer stories. And it's unfair to expect that because it is a queer film it must now encompass all of queerness.
Let's leave that assessment out of critics.
But that's not my critique at all. I actually agree with you that a poor attempt to include everyone is worse than a specific well-told story.
My critique is that IF you are going to focus on people (and narratives) we've seen a lot then it's more obvious when you're work is worse than those other films.
I gave a glowing review to Girl Picture, another movie at Sundance with a queer love story between two cis white thin girls. Because it was actually good.
One thing I will say is that even when a film does not include everyone I still think there's no need to actively exclude people with transphobic language and fat jokes.
That's fair, I see your point that a more "mainstream" well-trodded storyline should be done well if you're going to bother to invest in it.
And I also deeply agree that we're beyond employing any variety of "other" as the butt of the joke for a lazy laugh. That's always stings.
Appreciate your thoughtful response and I see what you're saying.
Surely if anything this movie proves you and me are not being erased, most queer media caters to you, me and other cis lesbians. Drew deserves to have her opinion, and you are allowed to disagree but it sucks when people whine about being erased because 100% of the space isn't being taken up by people like you.
It saddens me to see my opinion reducing to whining. The age old way of diminishing a woman's value by reducing her voice.
All lived experiences have value and I am not saying Drew's opinion isn't value I am saying that by reducing this film to the opinion of, if you like this you are part of the problem.
It seems as though I would be contributing to the "Terf" agenda if I enjoyed this piece of entertainment.
I would love for a space to be 100% for me but as I woman I am well aware the likelihood of this happening is very slim.
We are to get quiet, compliant and happy to just be there.
herekitty
You said you used no disrespectful language but your first comment's opening sentence is definitely disrespectful. You could have skipped that.
Also, did you miss the last 3 paragraphs where Drew indeed notes that some people might enjoy the movie, and that's fine? It's also fine for us as a community to note when media about us is falling short…I love watching trash reality shows, AND at the same time I can note how they forward harmful stereotypes about plenty of groups. I certainly wouldn't recommend a friend watch the shows I watch without that context – and with that context, why not enjoy? Both things can exist at once.
It's weird that you seem to dislike a critic…being critical. It's disrespectful that the first thing out of your mouth in response was about that critic's body. So don't play the card about "the age old way of diminishing a woman's value" when you quite literally started this conversation with trying to reduce a woman's opinion by commenting on her body.
Kindly stop acting like you respect Drew when you keep referring to her by using they/them pronouns.
Thank you for your valuable contribution to this conversation.
I'm sorry to say that I lowered my expectations as soon as I knew Dakota Johnson was the lead 😬. I respect your criticism and writing so much bc you have a way of expressing what I am feeling, and you bring receipts!! Seriously you are, imo, the foremost queer cinema expert and I look forward to everything you write, whether I agree or not! ❤❤❤

Or maybe it's simply a record of the time, and a reflection of her own experience? She's 50, not 20. Besides, if it got a bad review from you, I'm probably gonna like it.

I like that on Autostraddle Drew's review and an article with the title "Tig Notaro and Dakota Johnson are making the lesbian- falls-for-a-best-friend-rom-com you've been waiting for" can live in friendly coexistence. I enjoyed both.
yikesaroni
i agree with basically every part of this review, but somehow this one charmed me anyways. it is truly laughless, but i think i was having such a good time watching it that i just forgot it was even supposed to be a comedy? embarrassingly i watched it twice before my Sundance viewing window ended 😵💫
Thanks Drew for reviewing this for me so that I don't have to watch it. I find most things that Tig Notaro and Stephanie Allyne are in are annoying, mediocre and without entertainment. I was hoping that you may contradict my impression, but nope. Thanks for the heads up.

The Sesqui-Centennial Exhibition Association has ceased existence.
The Sesqui-Centennial Exhibition Association was the organization which planned and administered a major international exposition held in Philadelphia from May 30 through November 30, 1926, in honor of the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The idea for the exposition is said to have originated in 1916 when the merchant, John Wanamaker, expressed interest in the sesqui-centennial as an opportunity for Philadelphia to serve as the focus for an international gathering which would rival the great U.S. Centennial Exhibition held in Philadelphia in 1876. World War I intervened and discussion of the sesqui-centennial did not resume until 1920, when a committee assembled to form the Sesqui-Centennial Exhibition Association which was incorporated on May 9, 1921. Various sites were considered and League Island near the U.S. Navy Yard in South Philadelphia was selected. The Association employed experienced world's fair planners and professionals to prepare the buildings and grounds which filled 450 acres and to organize the exposition and related events which were subsidized by public and private funds. Thirty foreign nations participated in the event which attracted 7 million visitors. Participation lagged behind expectations, however, and financial problems dogged the project from beginning to end. The Association passed into receivership in 1927 and several years passed before the claims of the organization's many creditors were resolved in U.S. district court.

OTTO MOBILE and the MOANERS – RESTLESS SUN
2012 – Self Released
4.5****
Although this is their second album, until receiving my review copy of this quite addictive and diverse recording I had been unaware of this four piece band that brings a little much needed originality and freshness to the catchall sub genre of alt. country. Matt Lundquist's vocals are very much from the Gram Parsons school of 'Cosmic American music' as is his writing and when you add the
beautiful female vocals of Elliott Peck it's easy to see why comparisons to Gram and Emmylou are often made. There are plenty of duets on this excellent album that do echo that pair of recordings from the early 1970s but there is a lot more to this music than merely being a copy of the country rock of times long gone.
The band is made up of Matt Lundquist on vocals, guitars, pedal steel and harmonica, Elliott Peck also on vocals as well as piano and organ, Connor Jon O'Sullivan, bass, Wurlitzer and organ and Rob Schwartz on drums. The first two will always get the credit but it is quite apparent on this album that without the talents of O' Sullivan and Schwartz, Lundquist and Peck would be unable to go off on
their melodic meanderings that, thanks to the quality of musicianship, at times have an almost improvisational feel. The harmonies often have an appealing discordancy that gives these tremendous songs a satisfying edginess, added to which is a little ramshackle feel that that can only be successfully attained by musicians of quality, thus ensuring there is a casual but tight, confident feel to proceedings! Both vocalists have entirely different vocal styles and sounds but that slight clash helps to give a fair degree of originality to their duets and harmonies, as if at times they are recording the vocals without the other being aware and then putting them together afterwards. Because both are such good vocalists it works incredibly well, even at times giving a strong soulful feeling not really explored since the heyday of Delaney and Bonnie and occasionally having echoes of Mark Olson and Victoria Williams! It seems on the strength of this album that Lundquist is also a guitarist of huge ability, with his command of the various roots genres contained within, such as country, delta blues and even r 'n' b, giving more scope to his equally good songwriting, with every song written by him
except for "Hold On For Dear Love" which he wrote with Suzy Rothenburg.
The album kicks off with Don't Be Alarmed, a slow haunting ballad with lovely steel guitar, that echoes the feeling attained by Gram/Emmylou or Mark/Victoria on a song that depicts the
mellow mood at the start of a new weekend! This is appropriately followed by a tale with the same instrumentation, pace and mood, this time depicting the start of a new working/school week for a family on the title track Restless Sun. The main talking point on this album of highlights will probably be the travelling trilogy that starts with Pinin' For Colorado. This song probably more than any other struck me as being reminiscent of Olson/Williams, with it's quirky but hugely appealing vocal blend. The haunting steel guitar is there on this slow moody story of a man who sets out in his car on a long journey across America to meet his love. On the following song, Ol' Blue, the tempo is upped a little as he extols the virtues of his old car that is carrying him on the journey followed by One Step, as he tiredly reaches journeys end and meets up with his lover. Matt and Elliott take a solo verse each, accompanied by the gorgeous steel guitar and harmonies. The following song Sunny Day
Blues is a total, if excellent contrast, being a tremendous blues rocker with Elliott's incredibly soulful solo vocal and some fiery delta slide guitar from Matt. Next is the soulful blues of Guilty As Charged, with Matt taking an aggressive lead vocal, on a song that has a similar attitude and atmosphere to Delaney and Bonnie with it's bluesy guitars and organ dominating.
This struck me as being a very good album from the very first play and is pleasingly one of those recordings that seems to improve with every listen. There is a quality, depth and freshness to this bands music that very few are able to match. I will certainly be seeking out their debut recording and looking forward to many more albums of a similar quality in the future.

Maledicus is sure to be a literary horror classic. I was amazed to find that this story was not at all what I thought it would be. In this telling of good vs. evil, of bravery and self-sacrifice, we see a portrayal of the most constant of human struggles that death often defies through sheer force of will and therein lies the deeper meaning that brought this novel to life by the author, Charles F. French. Concurrently with the demonic theme is a well-thought out philosophical approach to horror, wrapped in an evocative story that will capture your fear and terrify you. This story is abundant with tantalizing details, unforgettable characters, and words that will not only touch your heart and mind, but also take your breath away. It is a completely riveting story with suspense, mystery, horror, bravery, and a great love that transcends time. You will not be able to forget this one. It will haunt you. And, when you read it, you will know why. Available now on Amazon.com!
This is a thrilling review!
Hi Jennie. Thank you so much and it was a pleasure to write this review. It is a great book.

Could facial recognition technology destroy 'redundant and bankrupt' passwords?
By Ben Grubb
Updated January 31, 2012 — 3.36pm first published at 9.03am
Potentially quicker access to online services like Facebook and Google
Never need to remember a complex password again
Can be used in addition to a password for more security
Will facial recognition take off?
Potential for abuse
Can't change face if "hacked"
Remembering complex passwords could be a thing of the past if facial recognition technology takes off - but is it as secure as a password and does it work?
When Google showed off its latest operating system for smartphones in October last year, "Ice Cream Sandwich", many were excited to see a feature that allowed the ability to unlock a phone using just a user's face. But as soon as the feature was shown off, it didn't take long for people to begin to point out how insecure it was, demonstrating that holding up a picture of an authenticated user to a mobile phone's camera would allow anyone with access to a photo of that user to unlock it with ease.
It raises the question: if one of the world's largest technology giant's implementation of facial recognition technology can be tricked so easily, will the idea ever take off as a secure authentication mechanism?
Some young entrepreneurs from Dublin in Ireland seem to think so. Although they are yet to publish any evidence supporting their claim, they say they plan to release about August this year technology that any website can use to enable its users to log in by presenting their face to their computer's web camera.
Co-founder of the Ireland startup named Viv.ie, Niall Paterson, is attempting to create the technology with several other friends which he hopes will "destroy" passwords.
"I was on Facebook logging in with my password which is 21 characters long and I got it wrong and I thought that there had to be a better way," said Niall, 17, in an interview yesterday. "Instead of using passwords the aim . . . will be that passwords will be eliminated and you will be able to log in just using your face.
"A web camera would take a picture of your face, analyse it, and if you've been registered already, log you in."
Security experts, however, remain sceptical over whether it would work in practice and if it would be secure enough.
Paul Ducklin, of security firm Sophos, said the primary problem with Viv.ie was that evidence of how reliable the system was relied entirely on the "unsupported claim of one of the inventors that it is 'impossible to crack'". The second problem was "whether you'd want your Facebook identity tied to your face".
Questioned on security, Niall claimed Viv.ie used the image editing software ImageMagick that could detect whether an image was 2D or 3D. "We feel that a 2D picture of a face will sort of be exposed [by the software]." A number of other security measures were also being implemented, he said, such as detecting whether the images being fed into a computer were that of a web camera or software acting as a fake video stream.
Passwords 'redundant and bankrupt'
Australian security expert James Turner, of IBRS, said the entire concept of a password, as in a series of characters that you type in via a keyboard, had "become redundant and bankrupt".
"It just doesn't work for the number of sites and resources that your typical person uses personally, and then you include corporate [resources] and it just becomes a nightmare."
The security industry was "desperately" looking for an alternative to passwords, he added, and biometrics - what facial recognition is a part of - had "caused a great deal of appeal".
One organisation he knew that used facial recognition successfully was Customs at places like Sydney's international airport, where Australian holders of electronic passports can use their passport and face to clear Customs to re-enter Australia.
The SmartGate system, according to Channel 7's Beyond Tomorrow, compares your passport photo with images taken by three cameras, noting such things as your bone structure, length of your nose, and the distance between your eyes.
"The technology to actually make [facial recognition] happen is developing very, very rapidly," Mr Turner said. "What we're now able to do with voice recognition is phenomenal . . . I know they're talking about putting facial recognition on laptops as one of the means for locking them."
A couple of challenges facing biometric technology, however, are what are likely to be the main reasons implementation hasn't been more wide-spread. One of the major hurdles, according to Mr Turner, included what to do when biometric data was compromised.
"I can change my fingerprint ten times and then I'm stuffed. I can change my iris once to the other eye, and then if that's compromised I've got no options [left]. [As for] my face, I don't have any options there."
He believes that if facial recognition was to become adopted by web services like Facebook or Google as an accepted log in method then it would only occur in conjunction with another factor of authentication, such as a smartphone that had a special digital certificate on it that talked with Facebook or Google to say you had authenticated with it rather than you authenticating directly via your computer's web camera. That way if your face's biometric data was ever stolen, the bad guy would also need your phone, Mr Turner said, which could be replaced even if it was stolen and have a new digital certificate installed onto it.
"The simple reality is that biometrics are a convenient form of authentication because you're carrying it with you all of the time, whether it's your voice, your face, your fingerprints or your iris."

Q: how to extract string before "/>" from XML using csh? I am trying to extract all text which is present before the first occurrence  of sign "/>" using csh script.
 I tried the following code
set product3 = echo "$product1" | sed 's/\/>$//'
bt the output I am getting is the string exist before last occurrence of "/>"
please help !!

A: You're sed replacement is off by just a bit:
% echo "<<one/><two/>/>" | sed 's/\/>.*$//'
<<one

using the .* will cause sed to greedily consume all the characters from the first match until the end of the string, which I think is what you want.

When a small packet of heirloom cucumber seeds turns into this, you need more cucumber ideas. I have quite a few Asian and Greek inspired recipes so I needed something to go with other foods. This paired well with pasta.
This is best made a few hours before serving. Start with this basic recipe and then see how it tastes. I usually end up adding a little more vinegar or sugar. You can also add chopped fresh dill or red pepper flakes for a different take. Or more garlic.

Greg Van Avermaet 'not afraid' of key Worlds rivals Peter Sagan and Michael Matthews
The Olympic road race champion says the Bergen course is ideal to his riding style

Greg Van Avermaet
Belgian Greg Van Avermaet says that the World Championships course in Bergen, Norway is ideal and that for Sunday's road race, he is "not afraid" of top rivals Michael Matthews (Australia) and Peter Sagan (Slovakia).
>>> Six things to look out for at the World Championships road races
Sagan won the last two editions in 2015 and 2016 and is again a favourite with riders like Matthews and Michal Kwiatkowski (Poland). Van Avermaet says that if the race ends in a small sprint, he can manage them.
"I've already knocked out those men in sprints, so I have to have confidence," Van Avermaet told Het Nieuwsblad.
"I'm not afraid of them and after a long and hard course, I'm fast."
Van Avermaet, or 'Golden Greg' as he is known in Belgium, carried the weight well after winning the 2016 Olympic road race. This spring, he won E3 Harelbeke, Ghent-Wevelgem and Paris-Roubaix with his BMC Racing team.
He timed his fitness well, placing second in the recent GP Québec behind Peter Sagan.
Last year, he appeared on track too. The 32-year-old placed second in the GP Québec – again behind Sagan – and won the GP Montréal. However, in the worlds in Doha, Qatar, he appeared to be off form and Belgian team-mate Tom Boonen sprinted to third place.
"The Worlds is almost a month earlier than last year. I feel much fresher now because I adjusted my programme," Van Avermaet added.
"I don't have a recent victory in my legs, but that is also the nature of the races I rode. There were not many opportunities in the Tour, and then I really worked towards my last goals this year: the Canadian races and the Worlds. My condition is good."
The forecast shows sun and 18°C for the former Viking port city this Sunday. The Belgian team, which includes Philippe Gilbert, previewed the circuit on Wednesday in the rain.
"It's a nice circuit, the weather can make a difference, but wet or dry, the many kilometres will make it tough," said Van Avermaet.
"It is a course that offers possibilities: it's technical, with little cobbles, there is a bit of everything in it and the final as well. There is a small slope about 500 metres from the finish where you can position yourself, so I'm happy about it."
To the list of favourites, Van Avermaet added Italian Matteo Trentin and new time trial champion, Dutchman Tom Dumoulin.

Ceske Radiokomunikace
Region Praha
Investor Mid Europa Partners
A combination of in-depth regional knowledge, expertise in the communications industry, and a hands-on approach to company management underpinned Mid Europa's investment in Czech television and radio broadcaster České Radiokomunikace (CRa) in 2006. Private equity helped recruit a high calibre management team and streamlined and reorganised the business that now reaches over 99% of Czech households.
In doing so, Mid Europa and CRa have set the standard for similar broadcasters across the region for operational efficiency and financial performance. During the firm's ownership, CRa invested in digitising the terrestrial television networks, disposed of non-core retail operations and focused on the central broadcast business. The company was sold to specialist infrastructure investor Macquarie in 2010.

For good and refreshing advice about different ways to approach dying and funerals, look at The Natural Death Centre.
The funeral industry is about to get its first ever set of industry awards, courtesy of the Good Funeral Guide, in a move which should help give some welcome publicity to the often overlooked but vital services performed by funeral directors and others within the sector.
Leaving your body to a medical school can have great benefits for society. This blog provides some more information about how the process works.
When it is appropriate to attend a funeral?
It is not always easy to be sure if you should attend a funeral or not, as Edward Collier, writing recently in the Guardian, eloquently explained.
At first glance it might seem that the internet has little to do with funerals. After all, the essential ritual of the funeral service has hardly changed for hundreds of years, despite swathes of other technological and social changes. Why should death suddenly start involving the internet?
Letters of condolence are the hardest things to write – but always much appreciated. Above all, it is the gesture that counts. These days there are alternatives, which can make the task easier. Here is some guidance.
Dying peacefully at home can seem the most natural thing, but careful preparations need to be made to avoid the distress of the official process that may ensue.
An increasing number of women are now entering the funeral profession – a development that is widely welcomed, by the industry and customers alike.
FuneralDirectors.co.uk has been talking to a vicar to sound out his experiences of funerals. He offers some profound insights.
If your loved one was very interested in trains, or you just want to do something that feels a bit special to commemorate them, a railway funeral can be a good option.

William Ruland, exemplary public servant, dies at 72
William Ruland, who came from a long line of Mattituck farmers going back before the colonial era and who lived a life of exemplary public service, died Tuesday night of pancreatic cancer. He was 72.
In many ways, Mr. Ruland was a throwback to a time when people with historic roots in a community volunteered to serve it with the goal of making a difference and improving the lives of fellow citizens.
Those who worked with him knew him, first and foremost, as a gentleman who believed deeply in serving his community in any way he could be helpful. What he accomplished in public life, which was considerable, was never about him, but always about others in the town in which his forebearers found a home well before the American Revolution.
Mr. Ruland lived out his life on his family's historic Main Road farm, where he could often be seen riding his tractor.
"I served with Bill for 12 years and for eight of those years he was my deputy," said Supervisor Scott Russell. He recalled talking with Mr. Ruland a few nights ago and "it was clear to me that Bill was saying goodbye."
Mr. Russell added: "He delved into community service like no one else. He took on very large roles when he saw what the community needed. He never put himself first. It was always about the community.
"When I made him my deputy, I needed someone who could serve as a mentor for me," he added. "He brought class, honesty and integrity to that position. But he was my mentor more than my deputy."
When Mr. Ruland lost his bid for reelection to the Town Board last November, Mr. Russell said, "He never stopped serving as my mentor and my confidant. Bill set a high standard that we must strive for. It may be impossible to reach, but we must strive nonetheless."
Last month, the Mattituck-Laurel Civic Association honored Mr. Ruland by naming him its 2020 Citizen of the Year. Members of the association knew he was fighting cancer and that, as in all things in life, the clock was ticking. The evening turned into a heartfelt tribute to a man whose impact on his community will be talked about for years to come.
That night, Anne Smith, the former Mattituck-Cutchogue School District superintendent and the MLCA president, said this about Mr. Ruland: "Bill inspires and reminds us to be stewards of our future. His history lessons, commitment to the agriculture roots of our community and leadership as past president of the Mattituck-Cutchogue School District Board of Education, his work as councilman and deputy supervisor on the Southold Town Board demonstrate his love for our community."
Mr. Ruland's biography mirrors the history of a small, New England-style town on the North Fork in which the earliest English settlers found the finest farm soils anywhere in the region and stayed on the land for generations because they deeply cherished it. Community service was an outgrowth of that love of place.
He was a member of the Mattituck-Cutchogue school board for 24 years, 13 as president and chief financial officer. He served as a town councilman and deputy supervisor for 12 years, was a former director and vice president of the Long Island Farm Bureau and treasurer of the Long Island Cauliflower Association.
At the MLCA event, Lee Ellwood, a former Mattituck-Cutchogue school superintendent, said he had known Bill, as Mr. Ruland was known, for 50 years, and taught him English when Mr. Ruland was in the eighth grade.
"Your whole life has been with the community, for the people of the community and your family," he said. "So I thank you for all the outstanding deeds you have done for others … It is my honor to be a friend all these years."
Reached Wednesday morning after word of Mr. Ruland's death had rippled through Mattituck and Southold, Doug Cooper, a fellow Mattituck farmer, said the news deeply saddened him. "We went to school together," he said. "We met in kindergarten. We were always in the same grade and we both came from farm families. We had a lot in common.
"Bill was a heck of a good guy," he added. "He was filled with good, common sense. He was down to earth. Back in our youth we had a beach buggy club. We'd get an old car, cut it up and shorten the frame, and ride on the beach. Bill was the president of our club. He was destined for public service, and he was always a gentleman."
Suffolk County Legis. Al Krupski (D-Cutchogue), who served with Mr. Ruland on the Southold Town Board, said, "He valued the community and wanted to be a part of it. He was a pleasure to work with. He knew the details. He took it very seriously. He was very thoughtful and insightful."
While Mr. Krupski's family farm is in Peconic, he has deep ties to the Mattituck farming community through his mother, whose maiden name was Sidor. The Sidor family farm is north of the Ruland farm on Oregon Road.
"I knew him before our time on the Town Board," Mr. Krupski said. "We bought straw from him. He knew Mattituck very well and served it all his life."
At the MLCA tribute, which was done via Zoom, Mr. Ruland was, at times, overcome with emotion. Toward the end of the meeting, he said, "To be honored by one's community, there's just a feeling that's almost indescribable. Having been born and raised here, it means even more. To the civic association and its officers and members and friends, thank you from the bottom of my heart."
At that point, Mr. Ruland's voice started to crack and he wiped away tears with a tissue. Then he said, "Can't hold it together."
Graveside services will be held Sunday, November 29, at 3 p.m. at New Bethany Cemetery in Mattituck. The service will be officiated by Pastor David Cook of Calvary Baptist Church.

On February 25, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases ("ASU 2016-02"). This guidance comes approximately ten years after FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") embarked on a joint project intended to improve the financial reporting of leasing transactions in 2006. Since then, FASB and IASB have issued three documents for public comment, generating more than 1,700 comment letters, and conducted extensive public outreach activities. IASB issued its final standard on leases ("IFRS 16") on January 12, 2016.
ASU 2016-02 affects every organization that leases assets ("Lessee") such as construction and manufacturing equipment, tractors and trailers, airplanes, and even real estate. The Lessee will be required to recognize on its balance sheet a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases in which the lease term exceeds one year. The accounting requirements for the organization that owns the assets leased by the Lessee ("Lessor") will remain mostly unchanged.
ASU 2016-02 is not nearly as onerous to the income statement as was long feared by many organizations. Consistent with current U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"), the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a Lessee will generally depend on its classification as a finance lease or an operating lease. (There is no concept of operating leases in IFRS 16, representing the primary difference between the two standards.) However, unlike current U.S. GAAP, which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet, the new guidance requires both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet.
For public companies, ASU-2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. For all other organizations, the new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early application is permitted for all organizations.
Please contact us with questions about how the lease accounting standard may affect your organization and subscribe to our weekly newsletter, Our Thoughts On, for future lease accounting updates, reports and webinars.


How Do I Make Sure A Qualified Technician Services My HVAC System?
As a homeowner, you understand just how important HVAC system annual service can be in terms of household comfort, system-efficiency, and long-term energy savings. With that in mind, you want to ensure that the HVAC technician that performs your HVAC system annual service is qualified to do the job. The question in how?
The first step is doing your homework. Before you can determine if an HVAC technician is qualified to service your system. Look for a technician that has graduated from trade school and who is NATE certified. NATE is the industry third party rating agency for HVAC.
You should be clear that the contractor has a state of Ohio HVAC license, worker's compensation coverage and proper insurance.
Instead of simply calling the first HVAC contractor you come across, ask for referrals. Chances are, someone you know can recommend a reputable HVAC contractor in your area. Contact the local BBB for a rating of performance before setting up an appointment.
When talking to HVAC contractors, ask for customer references. Talking directly to customers allows you to ask important questions about the service, attitude, and reliability of potential contractors.
HVAC system annual service involves a thorough inspection of your current system and household, including the evaluation of heating and cooling components in terms of appropriate size and efficient operation. There can be a large difference from one contractor to another in the thoroughness of the check-up.
A reputable contractor will also provide a written itemized estimate of all services and equipment required in providing HVAC system annual service. When comparing potential contractors, it's important to look at the big picture, as the lowest initial cost doesn't always represent the most in long-term energy savings.
Once you've chosen a contractor for HVAC system annual service, get everything in writing. This includes the estimated costs of the project, the intended schedule, and the actual model numbers of the equipment.
P.K. Wadsworth Heating & Cooling understands that HVAC system annual service is crucial to the enduring comfort of your family. That's why residents of the Greater Cleveland area have trusted our technicians to perform their HVAC system annual service for the past 75 years covering four generations of the Wadsworth family. For expert consultation, contact P.K. Wadsworth today.

Comment on Where I Sew – April Rhodes by Elizabeth.
I think I have the same robin's egg blue suitcase stacked under my cutting table!
This book looks great! I am definitely making a coat and jacket! And there are always a few dresses that I need to get to! Thanks for the giveaway.
Very cute! Looks comfortable too!
Thanks for a great series and thanks for the awesome gift certificate!
I have that same plastic bin of shelves under my sewing table!


This Irish Potato Leek Soup is a crowd pleasing soup that is perfect for St. Patrick's Day! In fact, it's probably the most delicious Potato Leek Soup that you'll ever taste! What's even better is that this awesome soup is easy to make, and equally good served either hot or cold.
Melt butter in Dutch oven over medium heat. Add leeks; sauté 5 minutes, being careful not to allow the leeks to brown.
Add the potatoes, chicken broth, salt, and pepper.
Bring to a boil; cover and reduce the heat to medium low. Cook 20 to 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft. If desired, add the green peas; cook 2 additional minutes.
Purée in batches in blender.
Wipe out Dutch oven; return the soup to the Dutch oven set over medium heat.
Add the milk, cream, and cheese. Cook until the cheese is melted.

Buried Treasures: the Barbara Jordan Archives
A look at the array of materials found in the Barbara Jordan Archives at Texas Southern University's Special Collections.
About Barbara Jordan
When Jordan was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1972 she became the first African-American woman to represent a previously Confederate state in Congress. In 1976 Barbara Jordan became the first African-American Woman to deliver a keynote address at a political convention, and Jordan addressed the Democratic National Convention again in 1992—to date, Jordan is the only person to have delivered the keynote address at the DNC twice. As a member of the House Judiciary Committee, Jordan was in the national spotlight during the Watergate hearings that would eventually lead to the resignation of President Nixon. Her style of oration and clarity of vision on the issues made her potential as a presidential candidate a topic of conversation among liberals. In 1994 she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom the nation's highest civilian honor. Despite her declining health she continued to teach and serve in public office including a post on the Presidential task force on immigration reform. Jordan died of pneumonia on January 17, 1996 at the Austin Diagnostic Medical Center. Jordan was eulogized by both President Clinton and former Texas Governor Ann Richards. On January 20, 1996, Barbara Jordan was buried at the Texas State Cemetery which is an honor reserved for Texas heroes. She is believed to be the first African-American to have been buried there.

Happy holidays from the Barbara Jordan Archives and Special Collections! As this year draws to a close, we're reflecting on a tumultuous year in politics with a lot of division among party lines. In Jordan's time, though, things weren't as divided. There was more "across-the-aisle" camaraderie and socializing regardless of party affiliation. It might be argued that this spirit of such a time in American politics is reflected in a sampling of Jordan's greeting cards from colleagues during the 1978 holiday season; of the twenty-five cards featured here, one-third are from Jordan's Republican congress-mates.
From a more aesthetic viewpoint, it's interesting to consider the card designs and styles: many feature traditional family photos and husband/wife poses, while others feature a depiction of Capitol Hill or the seal of the House. The fashions, the hairstyles, decor...all depict an American era gone by and allow for a step back in time. (Notice, too, the duplication of a card or two; most holiday cards were, and are, printed in-house and made available to House and Senate members.) Regardless of who sent the cards, though, the themes of family and America prevail, and regardless of the issues at hand and the battles waged between political opponents, holiday greetings were still exchanged. We hope you enjoy looking though the selection, and have a great holiday!
