It's hardly surprising the media and #NeverTrumpers are making such a big deal out of one of the speakers at last week's Democrat convention, but they are.
For those who may not be paying attention, a Pakistani immigrant named Khizr Khan whose son was killed in Iraq fighting for the U.S. military gave a passionate and intensely critical speech where he questioned whether Donald Trump had even read the Constitution during his remarks.
Khizr's wife stood next to him the whole time but didn't utter a word.
Even Trump supporters would admit it was an emotional and compelling moment, just as Benghazi mom Pat Smith riveted the audience at the Republican convention the week before. The media took Khizr's words and ran with them, probably because everything else at the Democrat convention was so hopelessly overblown, phony and contrived that they were desperate for something genuine and heartfelt to report on.
Trump's response to the generated fury was predictable. Evelyn Rupert of The Hill reports, "Donald Trump praised a Muslim U.S. soldier killed in Iraq but continued to criticize the man's father, who spoke out against Trump at the Democratic National Convention…
"'While I feel deeply for the loss of his son, Mr. Khan who has never met me, has no right to stand in front of millions of people and claim I have never read the Constitution, (which is false) and say many other inaccurate things. If I become President, I will make America safe again.'"
Naturally, liberals and wishy-washy establishment Republicans were offended by Trump's retort. The thought police were out patrolling in full force the past few days over Trump's supposed lack of deference and sensitivity towards those in the "peaceful" Muslim religion.
This back-and-forth is becoming pretty standard these days. Someone accuses Trump of something, he responds and the media goes nuts together with spineless Republicans who can't stand the possibility that they might be viewed as actually believing in something or supporting their nominee.
Once again, if Hillary says something, anything, what Democrat would criticize her? Please, name one.
In reality, all of this is a distraction from the main issues concerning Muslim immigration. Simply put, how do you guarantee that immigrants who come to America from war zones are not radicals (or will not become radicalized) and how do you solve the refugee problem in the entirety of the Middle East?
The recent attacks in Europe demonstrate that radical Islam is flourishing on the continent and there have already been dozens of strikes here in America as well (I'm not just talking about the assaults that were successful in killing and maiming people). All Donald Trump is proposing is a ban on new immigration until a strategy is worked out to vet these people.
It's obvious from events all over the globe that the current policy is not working. Trump speaks directly on the matter, is criticized by the politically correct crowd and the media has something new to complain about. Can't we get down to the real business of the election rather than grandstanding about how insensitive something Trump said might be?
I'm not surprised by any of this but it sure is maddening.
For #NeverTrump, all that's left is the ratings
As we enter August in the 2016 presidential horse race, the party conventions are now behind us and attention turns towards candidate definition, targeting swing states and ratcheting up both parties' get out the vote efforts.
The days of arguing over who will win the nomination (and whether they will actually receive enough convention votes to be nominated) are over. The party delegates have spoken and Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton will appear on ballots in November with an R and D next to their names, respectively.
Short of something remarkable or tragic, there's no way to change this fact. It's kind of like carving the champion golfer's name onto the Claret Jug for winning the Open Championship (golf's British Open for most Americans), Trump's and Clinton's names are permanently etched into history, one way or another.
Despite this type of certainty, elements of #NeverTrump are still languishing in no-candidates-land.
After wishing the election "reality show" would be canceled, Joe Cunningham of RedState laments, "A control freak with authoritarian tendencies is going to beat a control freak with authoritarian tendencies. The only difference between them is their biological sex, but if the Left gets their way, then they can both use the same bathroom. And nobody wants either of these two in their bathrooms. The social Left is making everything, including a popular hibachi routine, either a microaggression, a sexual assault, or some other new and terrifying social taboo.
"Why did 2016 ever have to happen? What did we do to be punished so? How can we atone for whatever sin caused 2016 to even happen?"
Not to be outdone, Josh Hammer at The Resurgent once again declared his open defiance of the Republican Party ticket. Hammer writes, "I will never, ever vote for Donald Trump to be President of the United States. Even as we emerge out of the dumpster fire that was the Democrats' America-bashing convention in Philadelphia. Even as the other side nominates a brutally corrupted pathological liar who should be in jail. Even as the other side's leftmost flank legitimately cries over the fact that a full-fledged socialist communist did not win their party's nomination. Even as the other side actively abets Iranian nuclearization and promotes the open-borders and Islamization agenda that has wreaked so much havoc on the European Continent.
"Because Donald Trump is really just that bad.
"There are no winners here. There are not even any semblances of any winners here."
Just prior to his latest anti-Trump rant, Hammer made a convincing case against Hillary Clinton, so we at least know he hasn't completely gone over to the dark side.
But the fact Hammer and most likely Cunningham and seemingly the entire staffs at The Resurgent and RedState remain in #NeverTrump-land is strange if not troubling. I spent the better part of a week marveling at how the Democrat convention utterly exposed their party's detachment from reality by not only painting a rosy picture of the way things are in America today, but in also trying to pass off Crooked Hillary as someone who is trustworthy and a change agent at the same time.
To sum up the Democrats' message from last week: Hillary will keep the good stuff like gay marriage, government controlled healthcare and unfettered, law-free immigration, but she will also "fix" the bad stuff the Republicans cling to like "Guns, God and Gays" (Nancy Pelosi's words) at the same time.
(Note: Not to be outdone, Pelosi hinted last week that Trump might be intentionally sabotaging his own campaign. The video also includes some analysis from gals at The View. It's not supposed to be humorous, but it sure turned out that way.)
I've wondered for months what could possibly be the motivations of #NeverTrump in perpetuating their charade and basically narrowed it down to two possibilities: one, they believed by continuing to show consistent and intense opposition to Trump's candidacy he could be defeated at the Republican convention, and two, they're keeping up with the Trump bashing to drive readership to their sites/publications.
With reason number one pretty much out of the equation (though Erick Erickson did say last week he was going to vote for Peyton Manning), that only leaves rationale number two.
At the risk of sounding redundant, this election is now officially a contest between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Libertarian Gary Johnson and the Green Party's Jill Stein will continue to campaign and could conceivably pick off enough votes from the major party candidates to make a difference (see Florida, 2000), but they're little more than a distraction at this point and an outlet for the frustrated "I don't like either one of them" undecided crowd to waste their votes without damaging their delicate consciences.
Next January, either Trump or Crooked Hillary will be raising their hand and swearing on a Bible that they'll uphold the Constitution of the United States. One of them fibs so much that even if she says "I will," she's almost certainly lying.
The other is an imperfect non-politician who rubs a lot of people the wrong way but nonetheless seems to have his heart in the right place. It isn't fair for #NeverTrump to question Trump's sincerity just because his beliefs happen to differ from theirs on matters of trade and foreign policy, for example.
The truth is, this election is now about the Supreme Court. Cast the other matters out the window. It doesn't matter now what Trump said two months ago about a judge's ethnic background or that Hillary is a habitually lying scofflaw who can't be trusted with her own personal communications much less protecting the security of Americans from external threats.
If Hillary wins in November she will appoint Justices to the Court who will cement unspecified "rights" (like abortion and same-sex marriage) into our constitutional framework for half a century. Goodbye Second Amendment. Goodbye religious liberty. Goodbye state level restrictions on abortion.
All gone. "Poof." In the blinks of several new liberal Justices' eyes, the country would be transformed permanently. As conservative leader Richard Viguerie often says about this year's election, "this is the ball game."
Even Trump indicated as much last week, bluntly stating Republicans would have to vote for him whether they like him or not because of the Supreme Court. You may not like the way he framed it, but Trump's right. He is the only choice in this election that makes sense if you value your constitutionally protected liberties.
One Trump equals three or four conservative Justices and an administration where conservatives have access and a say in what goes on (see Mike Pence). All #NeverTrump has now is their oft-repeated mantra, "Don't participate!"
Trump is smart to narrow this year's election down to a battle over the Supreme Court. Certainly other issues such as the economy, national security and immigration will continue to occupy their places in the forefront of peoples' minds. But framing the discussion on the Court is simple and to the point, easily digestible by just about everyone.
Except for maybe the #NeverTrumpers, perhaps. But they've got their ratings to worry about…
The Supreme Court is the top issue, but don't forget about the economy
It may be hard to believe eight years later, but the Republican ticket of John McCain and Sarah Palin were in serious contention with Obama and Biden until late September of 2008 when the financial system collapsed and McCain inexplicably suspended his campaign to return to Washington to work on the big government bailout negotiations.
Literally in one moment, Obama was handed the election. McCain and Palin never recovered and now we have Obamacare, federally protected same-sex marriage and a national debt that's overwhelming the economy and stifling growth because of it.
As Obama said himself, elections have consequences.
There's little doubt this year's election will be consequential, and one of the prime reasons why is the economy itself. To put it simply, the numbers don't look good.
Ben White of Politico reports, "[Hillary] got some very grim news on that front Friday morning with a new report showing the economy grew just 1.2 percent in the second quarter, a sluggish pace for an expansion that is remarkably durable but also shallow, uneven and deeply dissatisfying to most Americans.
"The news was even worse in the details of the report, which revised first quarter growth down to just 0.8 percent, showing an economy dangerously close to stall speed, handing Trump a handy talking point. The second quarter growth rate was less than half the 2.6 percent expected by Wall Street analysts."
So much for all the flowery rhetoric from the Democrats at their convention last week in saying things in the country are going along just swimmingly. If you heard Obama talk it sounded like everyone has a great job and is begging new employers to leave them alone.
However, the facts indicate the economy is in a perpetual state of malaise and a change is desperately needed.
Liberals and #NeverTrump may not like the policy prescriptions Trump has offered to get the economy going and people working again, but there's little doubt that four more years of the same isn't going to fix what's wrong (and this is one reason I think Trump will win as Reagan did in 1980).
I like to say you won't cure the economy without curing the culture, and without a return to a strong emphasis on individual responsibility and hard work, things aren't going to improve. Crooked Hillary's and Obama's constant drive to convince people they're victims will not encourage them to rise up and improve their lives.
Government handouts are short-term solutions. To make people's lives better, give them a reason to have hope. Trump provides a different view. He should take his message to the inner cities and offer a new direction. Democrat constituencies won't be completely won over in one election, but only a few points' swing could make a major difference in this year's contest.
Economic growth is the key to many problems in the country today…jobs for college graduates, savings for retirement and paying down the national debt being just three ways it helps.
Trump needs message discipline in pounding these themes. Time will tell if he'll realize it.
Post Democrat convention, let the Trump pile-on commence
Finally today, the full-out Trump media pile-on has now extended to the fall presidential debate schedule as well.
Harper Neidig of The Hill reports, "The Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) on Sunday responded to Donald Trump's complaint about the scheduling of two of the debates between him and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
"Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, on Friday accused Clinton of rigging the debates so that two coincide with NFL games."
As a bit of background, Bernie Sanders complained throughout the primaries that the Democrat debates were purposely set (by the DNC) on days and times when they wouldn't generate maximum viewership. Trump is saying the same thing is happening with the fall debates.
He may be right, but Trump isn't going to win this one. But that hasn't stopped the stupid and shallow news media from making a big deal out of nothing.
As if that weren't bad enough, Trump took another hit over some decades old nude photos of Melania Trump being circulated by the New York Post.
Folks, the post Republican convention bounce that Trump received (and appears to be gone) scared the living daylights out of the media and the powerful establishment interests in Washington to the point they're now piling on and trying desperately to knock Trump down.
NOBODY wants to talk about the real issues in the election. They'd rather report on Trump complaining about debate dates or 20 year-old naked pictures of the potential First Lady than Hillary's law breaking, Supreme Court nominees or the latest terrorist attack.
This is nothing short of shameful. The fact the media thinks the American public is so stupid and easily distracted is sad, indeed.
Polls in succeeding weeks will reveal how much damage has been done and whether it's lasting or not. The Trump campaign has its work cut out for it in not only defending the candidate from the Democrats' attacks, but also from sensationalized media reporting and lack of support from GOP leaders.
If Trump ends up losing in November, it'll be because #NeverTrump and the establishment allowed the Republican candidate to be torn to shreds over trivial matters not related to the awful economic numbers or real problems at hand. In the end, they're the ones who will have to answer for it.
What has Hillary sacrificed? This family are a shill for Hillary!
Many! Let's start with Mssrs McConnell and Ryan and don't forget the choir led by Bush Junior.
And the multitude of off-brand blogsters rushing to join in.

From: email@example.com
Subject: Urgent: Nuclear Power
News just in: Our campaign to stop Hinkley nuclear plant is about to go to the heart of political power.
An urgent inquiry on the new nuclear plant has been scheduled in Parliament next week -- and crucially, Greenpeace's chief scientist Dr Doug Parr will be there to give evidence.
If our energy expert heads to Parliament with the support of 100,000 of us, politicians won't be able to ignore how unpopular Hinkley is.
Can you forward this link to a friend and ask them to sign the petition too?
We already know that renewable energy is a better option than nuclear power -- and at the meeting in Parliament next Wednesday, we'll be armed with the facts and research to back it up. But we'll be even stronger if we can show the groundswell of opposition to George Osborne's plan to spend billions of pounds on Hinkley nuclear plant.
Urgent: Please forward our petition to your friends before Wednesday:
Let's keep piling the pressure on!
Greenpeace UK
Here's the email I sent you when the petition launched last week
George Osborne could be about to make a huge mistake.
He's preparing to spend billions on a new nuclear plant at Hinkley in Somerset. If it goes ahead, Hinkley is set to be the most expensive object on Earth[1] – sucking up huge amounts of money that could be spent on renewable energy instead.
But right now we've got a chance to stop him. The finance director of EDF -- the energy firm that plans to build the reactor -- just resigned amid concerns that Hinkley could plunge the company into a financial black hole.
It's going to be pretty embarrassing for George Osborne if he ploughs on when Hinkley's cost could bankrupt the company building it. So let's seize this moment to turn up the pressure on the chancellor. Let's tell him now's the time to scrap Hinkley -- and spend consumers' cash on renewable energy instead.
Sign the petition:
If George Osborne pushes ahead, Hinkley will be the first nuclear plant built in the UK in two decades. But the chancellor's plans are going nowhere fast. The reactor design is so complicated that no one's sure if it will even work. One nuclear expert went so far as to call it "unconstructable" [2]. And three other power stations -- in France, Finland and China -- that are trying to use the same type of reactor are suffering from huge delays too.
The cost of the project is staggering. Best guesses say Hinkley could pass £24 billion -- easily making it the most expensive power station in world history.
Personally I'm shocked that George 'Austerity' Osborne can keep on backing Hinkley, even as the cost keeps going up and up. Can you help tell him that thousands of us think that backing renewable energy is a better use of our cash? Sign the petition here:
While Hinkley nuclear plant has spent almost a decade in limbo, renewable power projects have been far quicker to build. The London Array -- the world's biggest offshore wind farm -- took less than three years to construct. And even if building Hinkley was to begin tomorrow, by the time it's up and running the cost of renewable energy will have dropped even further.
Though George Osborne might tell us we need Hinkley to keep the lights on, we know this is far from the truth. Recent research showed that as soon as 2030, the UK could be powered almost entirely by renewables [3]. The UK is one of the windiest places in Europe, we've got huge untapped potential in solar power, and we're surrounded by sea too.
If you agree that natural sources of energy like these should top government investment, not more risky and expensive nuclear power, please sign the petition now:
Thanks for being involved,

If you drink wine, chances are you fall into one of two distinct categories — white wine or red wine lovers. A recent national survey showed that the majority prefer red wines. We know — if you're a white wine drinker, you're wondering how that's possible. There are plenty of white wine drinkers who can't imagine enjoying a glass of dry red. A chilled glass of a fruity white seems so much more refreshing. While it may seem as if these two categories of wine drinkers are forever separated, we believe there are red wines for white wine drinkers.
There are a variety of characteristics that go into the glass of wine you love. Is it light or heavy? Does it taste fruity or bitter? Is the alcohol content high or low? While stereotypes say that whites are light, refreshing, fruity wines and reds are more complex, savory, dry wines — believe it or not, there are plenty of reds that have many of the same characteristics as white wine. If you're willing to try, you may find a red wine you enjoy.
Let's say you want to know what all the red wine hype is about — where do you begin? To help you choose red wine, we've created a list of some of the most popular reds that have flavor profiles similar to whites. We're sure that as you read through the details of each of these red wines, you just might be tempted to give them a try.
Our very first recommendation is to start with a dry rosé wine — yes, we know this may make some of the wine connoisseurs cringe, but hear us out. This is the perfect way to begin to get your feet wet as a white wine drinker in a search for their red wine match. Here's why. The winemaking processes for white wine and red wine are different. Once the grapes are harvested and juiced, in red winemaking, the juice is left to soak together with the grape skins, seeds and stems for an extended period, which is a big part of the reason the flavor profile can be so different.
In the rosé winemaking process, red grapes are used, but they only soak with the grape skins for a brief amount of time — usually just a few days — hence the pink color, instead of the red. Therefore, it's the perfect start to get used to red grapes and get a sense of the different flavors that come from this slightly different winemaking process. It can also be served chilled, which is familiar to you as a white wine drinker.
Pinot Noir
Believe it or not, pinot noir grapes and chardonnay grapes are usually grown together — either on the same vineyard or in the same region. Pinot noir is considered to be a softer red, which is more likely to please a white wine drinker. The variety of grapes used to make pinot noir have thinner skin, which is important because the result is wine with low tannin content, which often causes a more bitter taste.
The best pinot noir for a white wine drinker is from the Burgundy region — where the grapes grow in a cooler climate and are more likely to produce wine with savory fruit flavors, like lemon, quince and apple. These flavors should sound familiar, as they are likely to also be a part of your favorite white wine.
As a bonus, this is another red wine you can drink chilled, so you don't have to worry about adjusting to both the new flavor and the new serving temperature at the same time.
Gamay or Beaujolais
This wine may go by the name of the grapes, gamay wine, or the name of the region in which the grapes are grown, Beaujolais wine. Gamay is a grape variety that has been around since the 1300s, yet somehow, it's not very well known. That's mostly because it grows in the same region of Burgundy as the pinot noir grapes. In that region, pinot noir has always overshadowed gamay. But there's one subregion of Burgundy, called Beaujolais, where the gamay grape has managed to overshadow its popular relative.
At its core, wine made with gamay grapes from the Beaujolais region has a very similar profile to pinot noir – light-bodied, low tannin content and fruity, with tart cherry, raspberry and banana flavors. It's also best served slightly chilled, ideally to about 60 degrees. However, since it's the lesser known of the two wines, a bottle of gamay is often more affordable than a bottle of pinot noir.
While barbera grapes are primarily grown in Northern Italy, the best barbera red wine for white wine drinkers has roots in Australia and right here in the United States. The reason is that the Italian version tends to be more bitter — a taste that will likely scare away the white wine drinkers.
Don't let the dark shade of red fool you — this light-bodied wine has low tannin levels and higher acidity, both characteristics of white wine. The versions from Australia and the United States — especially California — come with more of the fruity flavors that include red cherries, strawberries and blackberries. That fruitiness pairs perfectly with a chilled temperature of about 60 degrees.
There are wines that come from grapes grown in Italy that may be a great fit for a white wine drinker, schiava grapes are one of them. These grapes also go by the name vernatsch, Black Hamburg or trollinger — and the majority of them come from a valley in the Alps known as Alto Adige.
What is it about this type of wine that appeals to white wine drinkers? Its nickname is the cotton candy wine — it comes with aromas of bubblegum, strawberry and lemonhead candy. Pretty much everything about it is light — from the color to the body. There is a complex aspect of this wine, and that's the naming. In the region of Italy where the majority of schiava grapes grow, there are three official languages — Ladin, German and Italian — which makes naming a little complicated. Depending on the area, you may see schiava wines labeled as edelvernatsch, kleinvernatsch or St. Maddelena/St. Magdalener DOC — all varieties of schiava grapes.
Rather than worrying about the complex labels, we recommend trying a glass of schiava nera or schiava grigia.
Lambrusco grapes have been around even longer than gamay grapes. While it's tough to put an exact date on these grapes, many believe they may have roots all the way back to 160 BC. These wines are almost always semi-sparkling, but it's important to note that not all Lambrusco wines are created equal. As a white wine drinker, you want to focus on the Lambrusco di Sorbara, one of the high-quality varieties. Lambrusco di Sorbara is the lightest of the Lambrusco wines — appearing to have a color that may even be more pink than red.
You'll find these wines to be light and refreshing, with sweet aromas of orange, cherries, violets and watermelon. The levels of fruit flavors in this particular wine are high. While these aromas are sweet, and the body light and refreshing, you'll notice it is also a dry wine, with a medium level of tannins.
For the right white wine drinkers, this red wine just might do the trick. While the typical white wine has a light body, there are fuller-bodied whites, like a chardonnay. If chardonnay is your white wine go to, then zinfandel might be your red wine match. The zinfandel grape can be found in over 10 percent of all Californian vineyards. It's a key part of the California red wine industry. This fuller-bodied red is juicy, round and low on tannins. Serve it chilled — you won't have to worry about dulling the fruit flavors in this glass.
Merlot is the second most popular red grape in America, and it also has a reputation for being an easy-drinking red. It's a great introduction to red wines for white wine drinkers. Its history lies in being one of the grapes included in the prestigious Bordeaux wine blend in France in the 1700s. When it came to the United States, Americans decided it was worthy of standing alone, making wines using 100% merlot grapes.
These grapes are in the same family as the white grape variety known as sauvignon blanc. If your favorite white is a rich, California sauvignon blanc, a natural red wine fit might be a merlot. While merlot isn't considered a low tannin red, it is often made in a low tannin style, which is part of the reason you won't find the bitterness you usually do with a mid-high-tannin wine. The best place to start is with a domestic and affordable merlot.
Malbec has the same history as merlot — beginning among the grapes in the Bordeaux wine blend in France. However, instead of venturing outside of France, this variety of grape is particularly susceptible to disease and rot, and so it was tough to grow and tough to keep healthy. It did eventually find a home outside of France in the wine region of Mendoza in Argentina. It stayed there, though, and malbec wine wasn't discovered by Americans until the early 2000s.
Those who keep up with the latest wine lists won't get to know malbec wine there. This is wine that is known for being delicious and affordable, not for its prestige. It's also known for being easy to drink, and the most affordable versions of malbec — under $20 — are known for being smooth, juicy and fruity. For a white wine drinker, the less time malbec has to age in oak barrels, the better.
Etna Rosso or Frappato
Both of these wines come from grapes grown on Mount Etna on the Italian island of Sicily. While pinot noir and gamay are more well known, wines from this area have become more popular in the United States. Every good wine enthusiast knows that climate and soil have an impact on the taste of wine — and Etna Rosso and frappato are both prime examples of this. Both are made from grapes grown in volcanic soil. The result is a light-bodied red, with acidity comparable to white wine. The fruitiness is present, too, but in the form of strawberry flavors.
Pour yourself a chilled glass of either of these choices as it's most refreshing served lightly chilled.
Grenache — or garnacha, its Spanish name — grapes are one of the most widely planted grapes in the world. You'll find this variety of grapes in some of the most famous wines, and it's easy to see why. This wine is known for its berry flavors — specifically strawberries and raspberries — some have even compared its taste to that of a fruit roll-up.
The two different names for this type of wine tell the story of its beginnings. The grape was first discovered in the northern region of Spain, known as Aragon. At that time, it was known by its Spanish name but was not yet very popular. As a result of the location, near the border of France, this variety of grape made its way to the Languedoc-Roussillon region of southern France. Here, the French called it grenache, and it became famous shortly after that.
While grenache wines can have more tannins than some of the other light reds we've mentioned, if you stick to an affordable version under $20, you shouldn't have to worry about bitterness. Spanish garnacha or grenache-based blends from Roussillon in France are both great wines to get started.
Red Wines That Taste Like White
When you're looking for a red wine that tastes like a white, there are several factors to consider. The easiest way to reveal these factors is to simply ask the question, "What is it about red wines that white wine drinkers can't stand?" If we asked you, we're sure your answer would be something along the lines of:
- Red wines are too dry — or too bitter.
- Red wines are too heavy.
- Red wines are too alcoholic.
Therefore, you can see why if you're searching for a red wine you'll enjoy, you should search for a red wine that has a light body, low tannin content and a fruity flavor. What exactly does all of that mean for those of you who may not be wine connoisseurs? We've included some details on each of these, so you know exactly what you're searching for in a red wine.
Light Body
When you see a comment about the body of the wine, it's also often referred to as the viscosity or the "mouthfeel." In other words, how light or heavy does the wine feel in your mouth? If you're an avid white wine lover, chances are you like a lighter-bodied wine, because whites tend to be light. Body and alcohol content are a pair, so if you prefer a lighter wine, it's probably less alcoholic. The good news is, not all red wines come with a full body and higher alcohol content. It is possible to find lighter-bodied red wines with an alcohol content comparable to that of white wine — you just have to know where to look for them.
Low Tannin Levels
Tannins are a natural compound found in grape skins, seeds and stems, and they have a naturally bitter flavor. As you may be able to guess, a high level of tannins is more common in red wine, due to the red winemaking process. Yes — the winemaking process for white wines and red wines is different. In the red winemaking process, the wine is exposed to the grape skins, seeds and stems for an extended period. White wine, on the other hand, is made without the grape skins, seeds and stems. Therefore, it has low tannin content and less of that bitter taste.
If you're a white wine drinker looking for a red wine, look for red wines that come from grapes with fewer tannins. Burgundy, Dolcetto and Barbera, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Spanish Rioja, Beaujolais and Tempranillo are good options. You might also consider a wine that was made with limited exposure to the grape skins, seeds and stems, like a rosé.
It's also important to note whether or not a red wine was aged in oak barrels because oak adds a lot of tannin to the wine throughout the aging process. While these tannins are usually said to be "sweeter," as a white wine drinker looking for red wines, it's probably best to avoid reds aged in oak, especially at first.
Both white wines and red wines can claim to be fruity, but the reality is that a fruity white and a fruity red are different. If you think about a fruity white wine you love, chances are it has flavors of apple, lemon, peach, citrus or pear. Fruity reds, on the other hand, have flavors of cherry, raspberry, blueberry, plum and blackberry.
But the differences in fruit flavors don't make red wines a lost cause. In fact, if you find a red with prominent fruit flavors, you're more likely to enjoy it as a white wine drinker. Opt for fruity reds over those that boast earthiness, which can be a white wine drinker's worst nightmare: dry and harsh.
Another factor that isn't a staple part of the wine but is important for white wine drinkers is the temperature of the glass of wine. Imagine yourself sitting outside on a warm day, sipping on a glass of your favorite white wine. Chances are in this daydream, you're sipping on a chilled glass of white wine. The reason whites are almost always served cooler than glasses of red is that warmer temperatures make the tannins more prominent. As a white wine drinker, while you may enjoy the refreshing nature of a chilled glass of white, the less prominent tannins are another reason you enjoy a cool glass of wine.
Wine enthusiasts' opinions differ slightly, but the consensus is that white wines should be served somewhere around 40-50 degrees, and red should be served somewhere around 60-65 degrees. It's possible to overchill your glass of wine, which can mute the flavors. If you're searching for the best red wine for white wine drinkers, consider tasting your glass of red at the same temperature you'd enjoy a white. The subtle difference, combined with a red wine that has a lighter-body, low-tannins and fruity flavor, may be exactly what you need to begin embracing red wines.

BeyondTrust has launched a free version of its Retina vulnerability management software.
Available for users with up to 256 deployments, the technology became part of the company's portfolio after it acquired eEye Digital earlier this year. Speaking to SC Magazine, Brent Thurrell, director of sales for EMEA at BeyondTrust, said that it has launched 'Retina Community', a cut-down freeware version of its Retina CS product.
He said: "It comes without so much in-depth reporting that enterprises require. It is designed for small to medium businesses (SMBs) to overcome challenges and start to implement best practise and data security. This will be instilled into SMBs as they grow and give the bad guys less chance."
The Retina technology was acquired in April and former enterprise security manager at eEye Digital, Andrew Clark, told SC Magazine that the community product is a free version of the enterprise product with the same engineering at the back-end, but was limited to 256 devices with some features removed. "It performs the same scanning and analysis as in an enterprise, but we are giving it away for free," he said.
Thurrell said that the heritage and acquisition of eEye allowed BeyondTrust to move into the vulnerability and management space to help identify where threats are, both internally and externally.
He said: "We seek to provide information back to IT teams and business users in some sort of semblance of order to detect security events and risk exposure across business. A big part of our context aware security is Retina. Retina CS helps organisations understand where the holes exist and where the threats come from, where an exploit can be or how a data breach could occur, it helps to report and prioritise.
"We want to help organisations who don't have huge IT teams to monitor their environment and patch 24 hours a day, we want to provide a tool to help them control and monitor their environment."

Growing Pains
Westcott Poster Inspiration
The students who developed the plans that will be on display for the exhibit drew inspiration from Friedrich Fröbel, the man who developed many of the learning tools we use now for young children and the inventor of Kindergarten. One of his main learning crafts was to use paper weaving to develop creativity and problem solving. Here are a few of the images I pulled for reference. These lead me into the idea of representing paper waeving with the title typography for the event. As shown below. The architectural elements relate to the development plans done by the students.

A Boston Celtics player had a brutally honest quote after his team's crushing loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday night.
The Celtics blew a 28-point lead to the Clippers on Saturday night, also losing star point guard Kyrie Irving to a knee sprain in the process.
Boston's veteran forward, Marcus Morris, did not hold back in his postgame quotes.
Morris says that the Celtics' attitude as a team has been poor and that the game just hasn't been fun.
"For me, it's not really about the loss, it's about the attitude that we're playing with," Morris said, per Boston.com.
"Guys are hanging their heads. It's not fun. We're not competing at a high level. Even though we're winning, it's still not fun. I don't see the joy in the game."
Morris' comments come a couple of days after the Celtics blew an 18-point lead to the Lakers. The forward watches other teams around the league and he sees things that aren't happening within his team.
"I watch all these other teams around the league and guys are up on the bench — they're jumping on the court, they're enjoying their teammates' success," Morris added. "They're enjoying everything, they're playing together, and they're playing to win. And when I look at us, I just see a bunch of individuals."
The Celtics are still in decent shape at 35-21 on the season, but Boston is not looking like the NBA Finals juggernaut many expected it to be.

Jena and Sal San Agustin had an insatiable love of sweet treats, one they were dead set on sharing with residents across Kansas City, MO. With that passion, Polar Oasis was born. This little ice cream truck is aptly named given it's an oasis for the sugar hungry across the city, the one stop shop for all things chilly and sweet.
If you can think of a dessert that's served chilled, chances are they have it here. You can nab some feathery shaved ice popping with fruity flavors. Sample any number of sundaes smothered in everything from shortbread cookies to chocolate morsels to caramel syrup. Remember all those pre-packaged goodies that graced your freezer in childhood? They have 'em all here. There's even iced coffee and frozen hot chocolate. If this is making your sweet tooth call, then we've got some good news. Polar Oasis caters. So, don't hesitate to book 'em if you're planning an event. It's sure to sweeten up any occasion.
Biscoff Cookie Sundae — A velvety scoop of vanilla ice cream plus biscoff cookie crumbles all drizzled in chocolate and caramel syrup and topped off with a generous dollop of whipped cream as a finishing touch.

The virus is a computer virus infecting all entrants to the digital world and their partners in seemingly random ways. Initially created by the Wizards Nii in an attempt to cure the virus making digimon feral, the virus soon spread to Yggdrasil's core computer. There is no cure save Yggdrasil bothering to delete it. Which he doesn't.
In other words, the virus is Digital Dive's version of "events" that affect a great number of characters to their surprise.
Previous varieties have included:
In early February 2008, Tamers could not lie, and also often blurted out things they were keeping hidden.
This virus makes Tamers more affectionate, whether that was verbally or physically. It can manifest as everything from hearts in every post to declarations of love for the world to jumping loved ones. This is an annual virus occurring around Valentine's and White Days (February and March 14th).
In early March 2008, Tamers' physical and sometimes ages were altered at random. Most children and younger teenagers were aged upwards to the late teens or adulthood; many older teenagers and adults were aged to their teenage years if not childhood.
Gender Bender
In early April 2008, Tamers' genders were switched.
In early June 2008, characters burst into song and dance numbers at random.
Seven Deadly Sins
In late September 2008, characters were affected by the Seven Deadly Sins (Lust, Wrath, Pride, Sloth, Gluttony, Greed, and Envy) in mostly comic ways. Additionally, the Demon Seals associated with these sins could not be placed on characters.
In mid-November 2008, characters began temporarily turning into their corresponding animals of the Chinese zodiac (or cats) upon physical contact.
In December 2008, sentient and slightly psychic mistletoe grew all over the digital world to harrass characters about their love lives.
Only Human
In early February 2009, non-human characters such as Digimon partners, reploids, and Time Lords found themselves turned into humans.
Some viruses affect Tamers and their partners more randomly:
Data Freeze
This virus freezes characters' bodies in time while the world goes on around them; when they unfreeze they are unaware that time has passed. Data Freezing one's characters is a popular option for players going on hiatus, as it solves the problem of "what was my character doing while I was gone": Nothing.

If there is a Vintage Era ever comparable to the "Roaring 20s", it would be the "1960s Calcutta". If the Roaring 20s were all about opulent parties and abundant alcohol, Calcutta in the 1960s was way ahead than any other contemporary city. Park Street, Race Course, Night life and unmatched intellect, the city had it all. Catering to similar nostalgia, the Camellia group has come up with a unique concept to add to the creative eateries of the City of Joy, "Calcutta Retro". The restaurant is a part of the Agora Club at the new Axis Mall in Rajarhat. My favorite part of the decor would be the walls painted with characters from Sukumar Ray's "Abol Tabol", something every Bengali child has grown up with. The restaurant gives a beautiful 1960s Calcutta vibe and would take you for a nostalgia trip to the "fish fry on a park bench" era.
The Cuisine at Calcutta Retro is a right mix of Anglo Bengali. They have tried to incorporate the Colonial influence in Bengal in their cuisine. The cuisine ranges from the Fish Fry and Luchi Mangsho of Calcutta to Continental Potato Wedges.
The Chef, formerly from London makes sure the food tastes as authentic as possible. I particularly loved the continental part of the cuisine.
Beautiful ambience with a vintage theme. The service though pretty great could have been a slight more prompt.
Pocket Pinch
Around Rs600 per person without alcohol
Overall Experience
A very quirky restaurant with good food. I would definitely recommend if you wish to try out a new place.

There wasn't any question where Constance Lane stood on the importance of education.
There wasn't any question for Richard Meeks, who was a fourth and fifth grader at Henrietta Intermediate School when Lane was principal.
"She wanted education to be as important to us as it was to her. She did everything she could by being a role model, by showing us what we could do," Meeks said.
There was never a question for her son James Renick, either. As a middle schooler, he would keep his mother company in the car as she drove from Rockford to Northwestern University in Evanston, where she was working toward her master's degree.
"Education was a priority in the house. We always had books. It was pretty clear it was important to learn, and she really knew how to work with all people. I learned that directly from her," Renick said.
Renick became a top administrator at several colleges and universities. He will speak for the family at a ribbon cutting and dedication at 3 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 29, for the school named for his mother, Constance Lane Elementary School, 620 Gregory St., Rockford. Lane's daughter, Betty Jefferson, will also be there. Jefferson, who is retired from a career working with juveniles in the court system, said her mother was direct and orderly but had a soft and loving side.
Angela Hite-Carter saw that love in action. Hite-Carter was a student at McIntosh Elementary School when Lane was principal.
"She was with us all the time," Hite-Carter said. "What I mean by that is that she was in the cafeteria, she was on the playground. I could not think of a day I went to school that she wasn't there. I'm sure she had to get sick or something, but I can't recall it."
Hite-Carter became a teacher and principal, and eventually rose to her current position as Executive Director of Student Services and Alternative Learning in Rockford Public Schools. "I learned the concept of greeting children from Mrs. Lane," she said. "Because I knew what it made me feel like, and I wanted my students to experience that."
Constance Vivian Carmichael was born Nov. 9, 1921, in Rockford and graduated from Rockford High School in 1938. She left home to attend West Virginia State College and graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor's degree in science in 1943. She married James Renick and had two children, but returned to Rockford in 1950 after he died of a heart attack at age 29. Betty was 4 and James was 9 months old.
Despite a stellar academic portfolio and a teaching accreditation in math, she tried for four years to get a job in Rockford. In 1954, a new superintendent of schools, William R. McIntosh, hired her as the first black teacher in the district. Nine years later, she would become the district's first black principal – and the first principal of McIntosh School, named after the man who opened a door for her.
"Can you imagine how good that made me feel?" she told the Rockford Register Star in 1979.
Lane was as beloved to her school staff as she was to students. The secretaries in the district named her Administrator of the Year in 1973. They recalled how, on a snow day, she did payroll when the secretaries couldn't come in. She knew their life. To support her family and put herself through school, she earned $1.50 an hour, working as a secretary for the Jewish Community Board in Rockford.
Estelle Black knew about Constance Lane's dependability firsthand. They were friends for nearly 50 years after meeting because their parents were neighbors. They worked together in a service club and played bridge. Her friend, who married Andrew Lane in 1964, always asked what extra things she could do for spouses or families.
"Her name was Constance, and she was always constant in her friendship," she said. "You didn't have to worry about her being wishy-washy."
That much was clear to students who acted out. "It was not like she was following us to find fault," Meeks said. "But whenever we did something, she called it to our attention so we knew we could do better."
Meeks went on to teach fifth grade in Rockford Public Schools for 18 years. He was fortunate to have other role models in education, but he always knew where he stood with Lane.
"She made us proud to be who we were," he said. "She always wanted us to do our best."
I want to extend a sincere thank you to our families for making a timely decision to help us plan.
Schools are still missing some registration packets for the 2020-21 school year, so each school will host a limited in-person registration event.
Registration packets for the 2020-21 school year were mailed to all RPS 205 families earlier this summer.
If a family does not submit the survey, students will – by default – be enrolled in in-person instruction, and transportation will not be provided.
You will be asked to complete an electronic survey to make your choice for either full-time remote instruction or in-person instruction for the upcoming school year.

When children cook, they're learning math, reading, and science. Following a recipe involves counting, measurement, and fractions (two teaspoons, three tablespoons, twenty stirs, whole, half, etc.) By mixing with the electric beater and watching adults use the oven, the children learned about kitchen safety and gained confidence from performing "grown-up" tasks responsibly.
Perhaps most importantly, the children practiced important social skills while cooking. Working together and taking turns, waiting patiently for the muffins to come out of the oven, and cleaning up at the end all provided important learning opportunities. The active, hands-on nature of cooking made it fun for the kids, and having a tangible and delicious product to share at the end made the effort worthwhile!

A Toyota Supra Sold For $121,000 And The World's Gone Mad
This Supra may have exceptionally low-mileage, but an auction result knocking on the door of £100,000 seems utterly absurd
A clean, unmodified A80 Toyota Supra with a manual gearbox and two turbos is a coveted thing. That's reflected on the used market - you can pick up a tidy automatic Supra for a very reasonable £12,000 or so, but you'll need far more than that to secure one with stick-shift.
And yet, we're flabbergasted to learn that a manual 1994 twin-turbo Supra was auctioned on Bring a Trailer for $121,000, which is nearly £100,000. If that sounds utterly bonkers, that's because it is.
This Supra does, admittedly, have quite a bit going for it. Primarily the mileage: in its 24 years on Planet Earth, it's clocked a mere 7111 miles. Although it's always hard to tell in photos (it's worth heading over to Bring a Trailer for the full gallery of close-ups), the car looks to be in superb condition. Extra kudos must be given for the Supra-branded floor mats.
The Car Fax report hasn't flagged up any accidents, and it doesn't look like a single thing has been modified on the car. No badly-fitting body kits, no tacky wheels - this A80 is the real deal.
Regardless, we're still struggling to get our heads around this. With someone recently splashing out $64,000 on a barely used Honda Integra Type R, it seems it'll only be a matter of time before we'll be reporting on the next Japanese icon to go for a preposterous amount of money.

18 new stores and restaurants coming soon to San Antonio
A 54th Street restaurant and bar, two doughnut shops and at least one outlet store are among 18 new stores and restaurants coming to San Antonio in the coming months, state records show.
San Antonio's eighth 54th Street Restaurant & Drafthouse will open at 9907 Interstate 10 West near the University of Texas at San Antonio, according to construction records filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Construction on the restaurant, which serves American casual cuisine and has more than 50 varieties of beer, is slated to end Jan. 1.
Two doughnut chains are expanding their footprint in the area, records show. Shipley Do-Nuts, which has 18 locations in the San Antonio area, plans to add another store at 6362 De Zavala Road while Dunkin' Donuts, which has five stores in the city, will open a sixth at 10029 San Pedro Ave.

And Macy's plans to open its third Backstage outlet store at its North Star Mall location June 16, the company said in a news release Monday. The retailer currently has Backstage stores at The Rim shopping center and Ingram Park Mall.
Those aren't the only changes in San Antonio's retail landscape.
Taco Cabana announced it will open three new stores this summer. The locations formerly were Pollo Tropical locations.
Convenience store chain QuikTrip Corp. plans to open about 60 stores in San Antonio, Kevin Thornton, QuikTrip vice president of operations overseeing the San Antonio-Austin market, told the Express-News in May.
And IKEA still aims to open its 289,000-square-foot store in Live Oak in spring 2019, despite pulling out of a store in North Carolina.
Click through the slideshow to see what other retailers and restaurants are coming to the San Antonio area.
The San Antonio region has also seen a spate of prominent retail closures recently. Sears Holdings is closing its Sears store at Park North Shopping Center, the company said last week, while its Rolling Oaks Mall store was put on the auction block in May.
Toys "R" Us Inc. is closing three Toys "R" Us stores and one Babies "R" Us store in San Antonio as part of a 700-store liquidation in the U.S after gaining approval from a federal bankruptcy judge earlier this year.
Walmart Stores Inc. announced plans in January to close its Sam's Club store at 12919 San Pedro Ave. along with 62 other U.S. stores — the same day the retail giant announced wage and benefit increases for its employees. Walmart also shuttered its Neighborhood Market store at 3175 Nacogdoches Road near MacArthur High School in December.
