I've been getting cabin fever lately—hence the trip up into the mountains—which seems especially wrong given that the weather has been beautiful. Bright skies. Sun. It's Colorado.
So, a few days ago, I decided to break up my staring-at-the-computer routine by first walking to Starbucks…and then staring-at-the-computer. After I finished my work, I kept walking, past Old Navy, past Barnes and Noble, past TJ Maxx, all the way to Homegoods, where I bought some cocoa powder on clearance. Ricky has mixed feelings about buying food at Marshall's/TJ Maxx/etc., but I like the odd things they have. Candied mango. Chocolate granola. Cheap saffron. And when we went to Whole Foods the other day—or, as one of Ricky's colleagues calls it, Food Hole—they were out of cocoa powder (save one $8 canister that was thoroughly smashed on one end).
All of this is quite mundane, but it amuses me; there's something contradictory about sprawling, yet pedestrian-friendly expanses of big box stores. I walked a three mile loop (losing a pearl earring somewhere in process, alas) and felt almost like I could have been in a city again. The big boxes here are bigger, but somehow, this town almost works on foot. In Canterbury, we walked everywhere in a freezing, gray fog—to buy packets of mango slices at Tesco, to indulge in cream tea, to browse department stores (my navy Longchamps bag, purchased at Fenwick, is still a frequent companion) and charity shops.
I bought this little porcelain creamer at a charity shop in Canterbury—a shopfront crowded with our own artifacts, the detritus of one century (give or take)—worn shoes and yellowed paperbacks and novelty mugs—standing above layers of stratified junk from epochs past, Roman trash that has come full circle into treasure again—shattered bits of glass, cracked pottery, tilting floor tiles, ancient earrings with no mates.
Perhaps my own earring will emerge someday from the ruins of this civilization. If we are to believe political debates, cable news, and my dentist (who proposed, gauze and gloved hands crammed in my mouth, that all our economic ills be met with nation-wide adoption of night guards for stress-induced tooth clenching)—that end will be here sooner rather than later.
I'm at Starbucks again (wearing a different, complete set of pearl earrings—a Wellesley woman is always prepared). I meant to tell you about the new light fixture that my dad and I installed. It will keep.

So basic is water to everyday life that it's easy to take it for granted. But in many parts of the world, people lead very difficult lives because of drought. The Monitor recently reported that 1.2 billion people lack access to safe drinking water, and 2.6 billion lack proper sanitation (March 20). Millions are dealing with health issues because of contaminated water. Clearly, these conditions deserve our prayers so that people living under these conditions can have a better life.
The Bible provides many examples of God's ever-present care for all of His children, and because many of them lived in desert places, water was especially important. Often the examples show that God provides abundantly and quickly for His children. As God's spiritual ideas, or children, we live within God's goodness, which can never be depleted, destroyed, or dried up. In the Old Testament, the 23rd Psalm calls God a shepherd, who leads us beside still waters. This signifies the absolute peace that only God, divine Life, can give.
Speaking of God's promise, the book of Isaiah declares: "When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the Lord will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them. I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water" (41:17, 18).
God as spiritual and everlasting Life overflows with love that always guides us to comfort and peace. When Moses was leading the children of Israel through the wilderness, and they became distressed because there was no water, he struck a rock at God's command, and water poured forth (see Ex. 17:6). Elisha purified and restored a city's water supply (see II Kings 2:19-22). Christ Jesus spoke of himself as "living water" when he said, "Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life" (John 4:14).
When Jesus spoke of this living water, the Christ, he was referring to his spiritual nature, divinity embracing and caring for humanity. Christ is the completeness of our Godlike nature and the source of our everlasting life. It is completely satisfying, an ever-flowing, inexhaustible fountain of spiritual ideas meeting the human need. It's not something we need to struggle to obtain or earn; it's God's free gift to each of us.
Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of this newspaper, pondered deeply the spiritual meaning of the Bible. When speaking of divine Love, which gives us the true sense of victory, she once said, "The river of His pleasures is a tributary of divine Love, whose living waters have their source in God, and flow into everlasting Life" ("Pulpit and Press," p. 3).
Though much patience may be needed in order to gain answers to the water shortage issue, prayers that rely on these ideas will help bring God's presence to light and reveal what intelligent action is needed. As we bring ourselves and our community into harmony with God's plan, God acts upon human thought, giving it the willingness to change habits and perspectives.
The promise of Isaiah, which was so real to the prophets and to Jesus – "I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water" – is a living thread that continues today. Countries and individuals struggling with water shortages can be strengthened by the living hope of this promise.
The Lord shall
guide thee continually,
and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones:
and thou shalt be
like a watered garden,
and like a spring of water,
whose waters fail not. Isaiah 58:11

Homemade Cranberry Sauce – It's Easier Than You Think
If you've never made cranberry sauce from scratch, you're missing out on one of the simplest ways to add a grace note to your Thanksgiving table. I've made several versions over the past 15+ years. My first batch came from a fantastic, free little cookbook published by Williams-Sonoma around 1992. My sister-in-law assigned the recipe to me and it contained glacé orange peel, which, of course, could only easily be found at Williams-Sonoma. The sauce was so great that my then father-in-law requested it for years afterward. Somehow that secret ingredient stopped being carried by Williams-Sonoma, so I turned to the back of a package of fresh cranberries the next few years and it yielded a very respectable batch of glistening sauce. This year I'm hosting my whole family at my new house and I wanted to try something with just a bit more pizzazz, so I asked one of my friends who's a terrific cook if he had any suggestions. As luck would have it, he believes he found the world's best cranberry sauce recipe on Epicurious a few years ago. It was originally featured in Bon Appetit magazine's November 2001 issue. He changed it by reducing the sugar by half, insisting that it's plenty sweet and turns out beautifully with the lesser amount. Apparently, every time he makes this sauce he has to double the recipe because people go nuts over it. I made it today and, while I have yet to taste the cranberries chilled, the warm-from-the-stove sauce passed the spoon-licking test with flying colors!
Happy Thanksgiving and Peace on Earth.
Spiced Cranberry Sauce With Zinfandel
Bon Appetit magazine, November 2001 (obtained from Epicurious)
• 1 3/4 cups red Zinfandel
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
• 6 whole cloves
• 6 whole allspice
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 1 3×1-inch strip orange peel
• 1 12-ounce bag fresh cranberries
Combine all ingredients except cranberries in medium saucepan. Bring to boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat and simmer until reduced to 1 3/4 cups, about 10 minutes. Strain syrup into large saucepan. Add cranberries to syrup and cook over medium heat until berries burst, about 6 minutes. Cool. Transfer sauce to medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate until cold. (Can be made 1 week ahead. Keep refrigerated.)

I'm always looking for new cranberry recipes, this one sounds great. I'll let you know how it turns out.
The cranberry sauce turned out wonderful, the only problem.. I forgot to serve it! I remembered after dinner was done, no one asked about cranberry sauce. It's great on turkey sandwiches though.

You can live life faded or vibrant. The noble Monarch butterfly, forever graceful and vivacious, never stops going forward. Trudging through cold dark forests and surviving only on milkweed, they soldier on, sacrificing their own precious lives just to ensure the survival of their offspring. Wings may be broken but their spirits are not. It takes 4 generations and 60,000km to reach their next destination, where they can finally rest for a brief moment before continuing onwards, as the cycle begins anew. Their unending pursuance of life is all written in the path they flutter through, in the cold forest mist and the hope of Spring.The Monarch Butterfly aptly reflects the Hong Kong spirit. Lion-Rockers forever"keep calm and carry on", bite the bullet, work hard to improve oneself; and this is precisely the source of Hong Kong's enduring strength and the most preciousintangible wealth of Hong Kong. This spirit, passed down from one generation to the next, is what makes Hong Kong continue to excel, and why Hong Kong commands attention and respect from all over the world. Just like Hong Kong, the monarch butterfly embarks on a hard journey, braving the unknown, through endless hardships and dangers, giving its all to ensure a better future for their next generation, and this is exactly the spirit that Hong Kong needs to pass on!The Monarch Butterfly Collection Cheongsams come in 3 different butterfly prints. In the 1st design, the prominent butterflies are small, with large butterfly silhouettes hazily fluttering in the background; the 2nd design shows butterflies of different sizes flittering about in camaraderie; and in the 3rd design, the butterflies are the most vibrant and eye-catching.

Mesut Ozil is unconcerned by criticism from former Germany playmaker Mehmet Scholl of his performance against Poland at Euro 2016.
Germany and Poland played out the tournament's first 0-0 draw at the Stade de France, leaving Joachim Low's side needing a win over Northern Ireland on Tuesday to guarantee top spot in Group C.
Former Bayern Munich man turned TV pundit Scholl pinpointed Ozil's "indifferent" body language during the game – a criticism often levelled at the Arsenal man by followers of the Premier League.
But Ozil – who after the game insisted he always gives 100 per cent – is paying no attention to his critics as he looks to add European glory to the World Cup title secured two years ago.
"I'm sorry but quite honestly I don't care what others say," he told Bild.
"And that mustn't influence me during this tournament.
"There are always people who tell us their opinion, usually negative. I don't know if they have to or not.
"If a former player or anyone else wants to be in the headlines – that bounces off me. As I said: The manager's opinion counts, Mr Low tells me the truth and what is wrong or right."

"The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been."
–Henry Kissinger
By Alex P. Vidal
NEW YORK CITY — Nobody has bellyached now that Playboy Bebot was booted out in a "mutiny" in the House of Representatives.
No Mark Antony-like soliloquy.
No loyal subaltern threatening to commit a hara kiri.
No post mortem protest from PDP-Laban figureheads except for softy Koko Pimental's tantrums.
Since the ouster supposedly had the fingerprints of the First Daughter, it had been received with a grain of salt by pro-and anti-Playboy Bebot politicians.
The message was clear: Playboy Bebot deserved to be given the door, his comeuppance for picking an unnecessary fight with the First Daughter; and for poking a nose into the latter's infant political party.
Meanwhile, she was supposed to be in jail for plunder, but by a stroke luck, Ate Glo was released from being under house arrest when the Angry Man, her political benefactor, was catapulted into power in 2016.
Her pivotal rise from the rumps of political death signaled her stunning resurrection from the nadir.
Ate Glo had inherited her son's position in congress, thus her political rehabilitation came to a zenith when she was installed as the new House speaker hours before the Angry Man's state of the nation address on July 23, 2018.
Now that the cat is out of the bag, there's no more turning back.
She could become the first prime minister if the sinister plot to hijack our constitution and shift the system of government into federal from unitary will come into fruition.
Between Playboy Bebot and Ate Glo, lawmakers opted for the lesser evil.
Thus the leadership change can be considered to be a transfer of power from "worse to bad."
For being morally unfit and a bad influence, Playboy Bebot was a worse speaker.
For being mentally dishonest ("Hello Garci" tumult) and having been tainted with a whiff of graft and corruption, Ate Glo is a bad choice for Playboy Bebot's replacement.
I was again misinterpreted for exhorting the relatives and friends of Monica-Blumentritt, Iloilo City Proper village chief Keith "Dabing" Espinosa and her jailed husband, Jesus "Jing-Jing" Espinosa Jr. to "pray for them" in my previous article.
It's a common knowledge in Western Visayas or in Iloilo City, in particular, that the couple has been receiving threats owing to their alleged involvement in illegal drugs.
Although Jing-Jing is now detained at the Iloilo Provincial Jail in Barangay Nanga, Pototan, Iloilo for frustrated murder, he continued to engage in selling of illegal drugs using Dabing and his family remembers, according to Police Regional Office 6 (PRO-6) director, Chief Supt. John Bulalacao.
They should be brought before the bar of justice unscathed.
As Christians, we are advocating for any suspected criminal to be given the due process and treated humanely.
This goes not only for Dabing and Jing-Jing but for all "notorious" characters out there who are still enjoying their freedom and are not yet locked behind bars.
We air this utmost concern amid the culture of impunity, the series of summary executions that pervade our society under the present administration, which apparently has showed callous disregard for the human life based on numerous anti-illegal drugs police operations.
We believe that any person, whose guilt has not yet been proven beyond reasonable doubt, should be entitled to his or her right to life.

The 5 Most Metal Places on Earth
I've been watching a lot of nature documentaries lately. They're a good way to unwind before hitting the hay at night; most of them consist of eye-candy footage, and incredibly soothing narration. But occasionally, these documentaries will discuss landscapes that are unquestionably metal.
So what makes a piece of terrain "metal"? The presence of things that frequently appear in metal band imagery helps: snow, mountains, predatory animals, and so on. Harsh climates are good, too; a lot of metal bands focus exclusively on projecting a foreboding atmosphere. Obscurity gets you cred points, of course. And above all, you have to run a pretty good chance of dying if you go there.
Here are my five picks for the most metal places on earth. Why five? That's how many I managed to write about, before all the exhaustive research tuckered me out. And why these five in particular? Because they were the first ones to spring to mind. Feel free to suggest additions to the list in the comments.
. . .
1. Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone is not a very metal place in the public consciousness. The visual associations go like this: Old Faithful, colorful hot springs, picturesque bison, waterfalls, and gawping tourists wearing "I am not a bear" shirts.
But come winter time, Yellowstone turns into a black metal theme park. Yellowstone itself is a high plateau surrounded on three sides by mountains. The fourth side opens onto the Snake River Plain, which funnels cool, moist air into Yellowstone's mountainous cul-de-sac.
The air gets trapped there, freezes, and dumps mind-blowing amounts of snow into the Yellowstone valley — 50 feet per year, as opposed to the 10 feet that surrounding areas receive. Temperatures sink as low as -40° (the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales read the same at that temperature).
The animals that live in Yellowstone, such as the famed bison, are built to withstand the awful winters. But even bison struggle with the extreme conditions; they burn thousands of calories digging for dead grass with all the nutritional value of cardboard. Only the wolves benefit from the weather. They actually get stronger as they feast on their weakened prey.
Yellowstone has a lot of geysers — more than the rest of the world combined. Here's why: Yellowstone sits on top of an enormous magma chamber that superheats the groundwater there.
The last time this volcano erupted — 640,000 years ago — it blasted hundreds of cubic miles'-worth of molten rock into the atmosphere, buried most of North America in ash, and caused a miniature ice age. It will erupt again, and scientists have no clue when.
Only one band can capture the hilariously metal awfulness that comprises winter in Yellowstone: Immortal.
. . .
Immortal – "Frozen by Icewinds"
. . .
2. The Empty Quarter
Everyone knows that most of the Arabian Peninsula is a desert. But even deserts come in gradations, and the Rub' al-Khali is a desert among deserts.
The Rub' al-Khali — the Empty Quarter, in English — occupies the southeastern corner of the Arabian Peninsula, covering much of Saudi Arabia and straddling the border with Oman, Yemen, and the United Arab Emirates. It is one of the largest deserts in the world, and possibly the sandiest: it contains seven and a half times as much sand per square mile as the Sahara.
This sand piles up in dunes up to 850 feet high, and the wind in the Empty Quarter blows these dunes across the terrain at a rate of several kilometers per year. The terrain is impossibly harsh — it may have swallowed cities in the past — and is getting harsher. Thanks to climate change, even the local Bedouins now have trouble crossing it.
The Empty Quarter seemingly has nothing by which to recommend it; it is, after all, empty. But it's among the world's most coveted real estate, thanks to its massive oil reserves. Brutal.

3. Hydrothermal Vents
The ocean is kind of a creepy place in general. Its deepest points are less accessible than space. When I imagine alien life-forms, they look kind of like deep-sea jellyfish.
The bottom of the ocean, called "the abyssal plane", which by itself would be a good band name, is dotted with hydrothermal vents. Superheated water from deep within the earth spews out of stone chimneys; scientists call these imposing structures "black smokers". Since these vents are at the bottom of the ocean, the water around them is already black. The vented water is blacker than black. How much more black could it be? None. None more black.
The mineral-rich water from the black smokers feeds thermophilic bacteria, which in turn sustain entire self-contained ecosystems. These ecosystems are extremely unusual among life on earth in that they don't need sunlight. The organisms that comprise them are pale, bulbous, unearthly things — longer and older than any human, yeti crabs, monstrous clams, and armored snails.
These creatures would surely despise the sun.

4. McMurdo Dry Valleys
The McMurdo Dry Valleys are the (un)holy grail of extreme deserts. They occupy a geographically unusual sector of Antarctica. The valleys are protected from glacier flows and precipitation, and thus are one of the very few parts of the continent not covered by ice or snow.
Consequently, the valleys are cold, dead, and almost impossibly dry. Frigid winds whip through them at speeds of up to 200 miles per hour. The terrain is so completely desolate that scientists study it for its similarity to the surface of Mars. No animals live there; any beast that wanders into the valleys ends up as a mummified carcass.
Life exists in this wretched place, but only just. Photosynthetic bacteria must take refuge inside rocks to survive. A glacier near the edge of the McMurdo Valleys bears a nightmarish feature: a five-storey, blood-red waterfall. Blood Falls actually gets its color from iron oxide — rust — that is in turn produced by a community of microbes trapped in a saline lake deep beneath the glacier. But the Australian explorer who discovered it in 1911 probably thought he'd stumbled through a gate to hell.
For me, nothing says "timeless desolation" like Sunn O)))'s Black One. (Especially this Immortal cover.)

5. Aksai Chin
Aksai Chin is a high, arid expanse that lies north of the Himalayas. It is a stone desert with no human populace to speak of, no natural resources, and no economic significance. Unlike the other entries in this feature, it is neither picturesque nor endowed with interesting geographical features or novel fauna.
But Aksai Chin deserves a mention here for its place in history. It lies along a disputed border between India and China. In 1962, the two countries fought a bloody war over it. China won, and now administers the region, though India still claims it.
Why would these countries go to war over such a useless piece of land? The conflict began when the Chinese built a road through the region, but Aksai Chin has little more strategic value than it does economic worth. The real reasons behind the war are more esoteric: concerns for territorial sovereignty, domestic political pressures, and miscommunication between the leadership of each country. A professor I had in college insisted that this last factor was the most significant.
So thousands died in a war over a barren desert that was arguably fought by accident. It doesn't get much more metal than that.

Fall 2017 Ready-to-WearKolor
"I think it's beautiful, but it's very random," said Junichi Abe of a patchwork skirt, but he may as well have been speaking of his lively lineup. In lieu of the runway (or even a typical presentation), the collection was shown as a photo session performance; which is to say, invitees became onlookers as models posed one by one for the photos that appear in the lookbook here. Staged, but also serving a purpose, it was the type of mildly voyeuristic experience that broke down the fourth wall, making it easier to get a close view of the designer's signature collaging and splicing. The main elements in the opening look—fur patchwork coat, wool lace skirt, and buckled fur boots—represented three key pieces, although the recurrence of glen plaid elsewhere made a strong case that this collection was rooted in repurposed tailoring. Abe has a way of giving women's wardrobe classics an extroverted kick—see: the ruffled white blouse, retro striped cardigan, and graphic skirt encrusted with filmy organza. But the gray wool caban with its lowered button-front paired with elevated outdoorsy pants and a hoodie was just one example of how his menswear strengths carry over as a harmonized marriage of sartorial and sport.

The producer made the announcement through his Instagram account.
"I am so excited to announce my new charity called Stunt4Jamaica. It will be to help kids with school supplies, clothing, and supply a school every month with a new computer," a section of the post read.
According to the 35-year-old entertainer, a percentage of the cash accumulated from CDs, T-shirts and coconut oil will be contributed to the Jamaican charity.
"I don't do what I do to be famous and take pictures. I want to help people who really need it. So if you want help in any way the contact is email@example.com. I want to do socks, tees, shirts, books, pens and just everything that a school can use. This is some thing that I will never stop doing and I'm very excited about it," he continued.
Safaree (given name Safaree Samuels) is co-producer of Nicky Minja's Pink Friday: Roman Reload. He was part of a group called Hood$tars with Minaj, Lou$tar and rapper Svn-Up.
Last year the rapper announced that he was dating the pretty model Zashia Santiago. Safaree couldn't keep his hands off Zashia when he posed for a pic with his new buxom babe — kinda easy to see why.
They were seen everywhere getting cosy and even went on a romantic trip to Jamaica, but it seems that the producer has moved on already as it is rumoured that he has moved in with a HOT new chic by the name of Analicia Chaves.
Goodbye Zashia Santiago and hello Analicia Chaves, otherwise known as Ana Montana because Safaree Samuels has a new main squeeze. According to The Shade Room, the "Burner" rapper and Chaves moved in together and recently purchased a new home.
"Shout to the first clients of the new year," wrote the real estate agent who secured the house for the rumored couple. "@iamsafaree X @ ana_montana are officially moving into their new home.

When DjThor — whose real name is Thorald Findlay — took to the stage at the Rondo on the weekend, it wasn't just his first DJ set in a long time. For the 41-year-old Windsor man, diagnosed eight years ago with multiple myeloma, it was much more than that.
Findlay was showing cancer that he would take back what it took from him. Or rather, what it had stolen from him for a time.
"It was something I really had to do to try to get back to normal life," Findlay said. "Just had to get back to doing something that I used to enjoy doing."
Findlay, whose cancer diagnosis is terminal, only recently began receiving palliative care.
He wishes he had started sooner.
"When you're getting cancer treatment, there's a lot of care about the body — taking care of
"It just makes me take care of my body, my mind and my soul, and what makes me happy and what reminds me to try and get back, to be social," he said.
The palliative care he's received at the Hospice of Windsor and Essex County helped motivate him to perform Saturday's set, titled I'm Still Here. Findlay called the set "a big step."
He's been a DJ for a long time. That love of music helped him bond with Michael Bennett, a clinical social worker at the hospice.
"He showed me how important it was to me, and how giving back would help me get back into enjoying (music) again," Findlay said. "It's really just about playing. Just trying to do the things I like to do. So he encouraged me by making me think, this is the time to do it. The perfect time. And see what happens."
Palliative care is "a win when we focus on living and we focus on life," said Bennett.
"I say this all the time. I've worked at
Findlay receives blood products — platelets and red blood cells — twice a week. In a GoFundMe fundraising campaign for his daughter Angelica's university education, Findlay wrote that the blood products are keeping him alive "but I don't know how long it will last."
His 20-year-old daughter is one of his biggest motivations, he said.
"She's always been there for me, through the whole situation I'm going through," Findlay said. "She's a really, really strong person."
Another motivator for Findlay is something Bennett told him: "Cancer will take whatever you give it."
"I always thought that cancer takes from me, but it's whatever you allow it (to take)," Findlay said. "That was one of the motivations, to try and get it back."
Findlay's attitude has been an inspiration to the medical team helping him.
Even though Findlay has reached the terminal phase of his illness, "rather than just sitting around and waiting for the end of life, he's actually looking to try and squeeze as much life as he can out of this situation," said
"I'm just trying to keep things as normal as I can for as long as I can," said Findlay, adding he's "really flattered and honoured" that others feel inspired.
Cargill said palliative care is about "living until you die — and, in fact, living well until you die."
Ontario has too few doctors, nurses and social workers trained in palliative care "to do all the work that's necessary," said Cargill, resulting in patients receiving end-of-life care too late.
"For a lot of patients, when they get that life-threatening diagnosis, a lot of people just tend to shut down," Cargill said. "That's what they tend to focus on, the diagnosis and the prognosis. Yes, it's important to talk about death and dying. Those issues need to be addressed.
"But if you can focus on having a good quality of life, the things that matter to you — whether it's friends and family or other things — that's what I see as key to Thor's story. It's not about death and dying. It's about living until you die."

How to Save Money on ATM Fees While Traveling
I'm not a millionaire that needs slick investing advice; embarrassingly enough, I don't know a 401K from an IRA from a box under the mattress at this point (I'm workin' on it!) But I do know that when we travel (which is every day of our lives) the ATM fees are a killer. For example, in Bali, the local bank fees can be more than $5 USD; combine that with your bank's typical fee of $5 and you're spending more than $10 for a $100 withdrawal sometimes (oh yeah, don't forget those withdrawal caps—now you have to make two or three withdrawals to get the amount you need and drop $30+ for the privilege of using your own money!)
Having local cash is a must in most of the places we travel across Asia. Most smaller shops don't take credit cards, and even if they do, you'll have to consider international credit card fees (and the extra, extra percentage that local shops charge to swipe a card is a whoooole 'nother blog topic). Withdrawing from an ATM is usually a convenient way to acquire local currency, too, as opposed to money changers. So what are you supposed to do to avoid spending half your vacation budget on bank fees?
Get a Charles Schwab bank account.
Charles Schwab high yield checking accounts don't charge any ATM fees, and they refund any local bank fees charged to your account! So, not only are they not jerks, but they absorb the jerkiness of other banks!
I know, I know—a Charles Schwab account sounds like it's strictly for someone who wants to spend the account interest alone on Cohiba cigars and a case of 1973 Petrus Bourdeaux (I'm not even sure what I just said there). But it's not! It's for regular ol' people like you and me who travel and don't want to be penalized for it.
It's simple: first you apply for a brokerage account. Don't worry, you never have to do anything with this account again if you don't want to—it can almost act like a savings account. Once you have a brokerage account, you then apply for a high yield checking account. It has all the bells and whistles of a standard checking account but with no fees and no minimum, and they refund alllll ATM fees. In 2015, we saved $870 in ATM fees. Let that sink in. Almost a thousand dollars saved simply by using Charles Schwab for our overseas ATM needs. Depending on where you're traveling, that could buy you another month in your destination! It's a wonder I don't have their logo tattooed somewhere on my body (yet).
As a bonus, their customer service is a dream. Chat is available for almost all your needs, but should you need or prefer it, the phone support is very pleasant. You can tell that Schwab employees feel empowered to actually solve problems, instead of simply reading a script like most bank customer service employees (and what a poorly written script it usually is, right?) Charles Schwab also has a sweet app, too.
Happy traveling…and make sure to set the travel notice on your account before you go!

Portlanders have more fun.
There, I said it. And that, my friends, is a fact. Since moving here I've been delighted by the smiling faces, fun-loving, welcoming spirit that Portlanders have shown me. I never know when I'll meet someone new, but I know that I look forward to it. Need proof? Fly, drive, bike, bus, walk….get here however you want to get here….and see for yourself.
Summer in Portland has been blossoming with fairs, concerts, festivals, craft beer debuts, quirky bar themes, karaoke…you name it, we've got it. Last weekend my friends and I went to the Mississippi Street Fair and the Oregon Berry Festival, in NE and NW Portland, respectively.
As any future RD worth her salt does, I love fresh berries. I was lucky enough to grow up in France, where visiting the markets meant picking up local berries ripe for eating, and I've had a love affair with raspberries ever since. At the Oregon Berry Festival, we were treated to all things berries: smoothies, huckleberry coffee, brambleberry cider, Hawaiian ice, and of course some hot-off-the-press red raspberry vodka and blackberry bourbon. Um, free samples please?
The Oregon Berry Festival was educational, and highlighted local growers and their contributions to our berry feasts.
It just wouldn't be Portland without a food cart of some kind!
Next up was the Mississippi Street Fair. How I love thee, street fairs of all shapes and sizes. The vendors! The food and drink! Being goofy with your friends because ten blocks of the main street has been closed!
First stop: whiskey. Like I said…it just wouldn't be Portland without it.
Ten blocks, my friends. That's a lot of road to get through in a crowd like this!
That's why we had to take a break at Bungalow Bar to sit in their hammocks.
What I ate: this thoughtful cart offered vegan barbeque, which was a must. But somehow I ended up with a two-pound, soy curl and macaroni and cheese vegan burrito…
…should have been more sensible and had this instead!
Summer is only half-finished, so take advantage of it wherever you are! Street fairs and local town celebrations can be a lot of fun, and are a great excuse to get out and eat, drink, and be joyful in the sunshine. Happy summer!

Hobart, Nov 18: Pakistan's batting was made to look a joyless, labouring task on the opening day of the second Test By having bowled Pakistan out for 222. Australia captain Steve Waugh's decision to put the opposition in was totally vindicated.
It's been a woeful tale of Pakistan's batting (Mohammad Wasim's innings excepted) here on Bellerive's pitch which, despite being traditionally batsman friendly, had retained some moisture and showed plenty of life earlier in Pakistan's innings.
It was a good toss to win as both captains would liked to have bowled first. Australia had the luck of winning the toss, for the second time in two Tests and today it certainly gave them the advantage. But having said that, the fall of Pakistan's early wickets, before lunch, with the exception of Saeed Anwar's were less to the credit of the bowling than to the batsman's errors.
Anwar received a brute of a ball from Glenn McGrath' It lifted from not short of a length and took the shoulder of the bat. But Ijaz Ahmed, having got themselves into form with a century earlier in the week against South Australia, after a poor first Test, made a half hearted attempt to cut a ball from McGrath which was far too close to him to attempt the shot and Pakistan were 2 for 18 , a similar situation as in Brisbane.
McGrath was by far the pick of the bowlers during the first session of play and his spell of nine overs he had conceded merely six runs and picked up two wickets. In the process he had also passed a personal milestone of 250 Test wickets. Only four other Australians have taken more Test wickets than him.
Hopes of a revival came with Wasim's quick scoring stand with Inzamamul Haq. Their 50 partnership spanned over just 48 minutes during which Wasim played beautifully.
He went after Shane Warne who was promptly taken off, conceding as many as 26 runs in four overs. Half of those runs came from one over with Wasim helping himself effortlessly to three boundaries. But just when the partnership was developing, Inzamam chased one well outside off stump and dragged the ball on to his stumps. An utterly unnecessary shot, when consolidation of the innings was of prime importance. Pakistan had given away another wicket when the requirement was for disciplined batting.
There were only two partnerships of any consequence in the Pakistan innings, both featuring Mohammad Wasim. After Inzamam, Yousuf Youhana helped him to put on 49 for the fourth wicket stand during which Wasim scored freely, flicking delicately behind square and stepping out to drive to long-on and long-off.
It was difficult to drive on this slow wicket and that is where Wasim did so well.Youhana too played attractive strokes. He has been in such excellent form on this tour. But just as he seemed to be set for another fine innings.
Mark Waugh, with the safest pair of hands in the Australian side, snapped him up low at slip. Meanwhile Wasim, on 49 was dropped overhead at mid-on by McGrath, which gave him a single as well as taking him to his half century.
The loss of Youhana's wicket checked Pakistan's relative recovery. Australia's captain Steve Waugh, speaking at the end of the day's play, said that "that was the turning point in the Pakistan innings".
He went on to say. "It is not easy to score runs on this sort of wicket. We will have to work hard on it in our innings. If we get a good first innings lead we can win this Test".
Before Pakistan's innings folded a bit of rear-guard action came from Wasim Akram and Azhar Mahmood. The latter batted for an hour and a half and the captain a little longer to prolong the innings and add valuable runs but unless Pakistan's bowlers can deliver what they are capable of on a good day, the total looks most inadequate.
Australia's opening batsmen began their innings tentatively, surviving a spate of close calls for leg before wicket. If Pakistan's formidable bowlers are to live up to their reputation then, in view of the importance of this Test match, they will have to display their true capabilities tomorrow

Broward sheriff's jail deputy Oreth Smith of Plantation, Florida was arrested on March 28 for allegedly using a personal cellphone, which is considered contraband, for long periods of his work shift instead of conducting head counts, security checks, and other administrative duties.
Smith, 35, faces charges for introducing contraband into a jail and official misconduct after it was discovered he falsified inmate head count reports. He was released on bond the following day. The press did not list an attorney for Smith.
According to the arrest affidavit, a complaint filed by an inmate brought Smith to the attention of investigators last year. The inmate reportedly told investigators that Smith did not perform his security checks and head counts at the end of his shift; he was instead seen using his cellphone at his desk.
The inmate's allegations were reportedly corroborated by video surveillance footage from inside the jail, which showed Smith allegedly using a personal cellphone in violation with the sheriff's office policy that forbids deputies from bringing cellphones into the jail.
In addition to performing security checks and head counts, Smith was also responsible for day-to-day operations like feeding the inmates, maintaining a log documenting all events and activities within one of the jail units, and controlling the opening and closing of all the doors within the unit.
"The final head count is an extremely important responsibility, in that it may identify an escaped inmate or an inmate that is [in] need of medical attention or even deceased," the arrest affidavit said.
Investigators also looked into Smith's possible connection with the escape of inmate Dayonte Resiles from a courthouse in Fort Lauderdale last July, sources say. Resiles, 22, was jailed in 2014 after he allegedly stabbed a woman to death during a home burglary. He somehow managed to remove his restrains in a fourth-floor courtroom before escaping through an emergency exit. He was found less than a week later in Riviera Beach.
Resiles reportedly used Facebook to plan his escape. He gained access to the website within the jail and used it to get in touch with accomplices. He later told investigators that he sometimes used a jail employee's phone to go on Facebook.
After his recapture, Detective Jason Hendrick of Broward sheriff's office was tasked with finding out whether an employee's "intentional or unintentional" involvement was a contributing factor in his escape. Smith allegedly had frequent contact with Resiles before his escape, according to a search warrant obtained by the press. He reportedly escorted inmates from the jail to the courthouse 24 times between June and July, including the day Resiles escaped. Hendrick's investigation concluded that Resiles had contact with Smith moments before his escape. Smith was placed on restricted administrative assignment as the investigation continued.
The arrest affidavit does not mention Smith's potential connection to Resiles' escape. Smith has worked for Broward sheriff's office for almost a decade. He has been suspended without pay pending the outcome of the investigation.

Session 9 (August 21st, 2016)
Director: Brad Anderson
Starring: Peter Mullan, David Caruso, Brendan Sexton III, and Stephen Gevedon
Sometimes a movie just falls under the radar for someone, and they don't really get to it for a good long while. Sometimes the time is right for it too, just like it was for this movie. I was 11 when this movie came out. And it was not the most accessible movie around, not mentioned in the circles I kept (I had small circles for a while). Even when the social media lifestyle became a thing, I didn't see it mentioned too much online and when I did, it wasn't so easy to see even if I got in the mood. That was until recently, when Scream Factory announced they would be releasing it on Blu ray to the masses. At the same time, Guillermo Del Toro praised it as one of the best movies of the 21st Century and others followed suit. So hell, might as well dive into the flick if so many people I respect praised in such superlative terms. And I was right to do so, as where they in their praises of the movie. Holy shit is this an impressive fucking movie. I saw an article recently by Brian Collins that compared this movie to The Shining, and it's really true. Following a team of asbestos removers as they enter an abandoned insane asylum, the mental degradation of the team is never exactly laid clear. Much like The Shining attempted to, there's no clear answer on if their mental state is altered by a malevolent supernatural entity, or just the stresses of life coming to a head in an environment that would help foster such negative vibes. That's really all I say anymore in regards to the narrative. But this is not a movie that relies on gore. This is very much a paranoid thriller, using tone to elicit a bad vibe from the viewer. There's no jump scares of typical horror movie cliches. What we got here is such a unique and confident movie that plays by its own rules and executes masterfully. It's an early user of Digital video for it's filming, and while you can tell it's an early adopter of it, it never feels cheap. Anderson and company know what they're doing and film in such a precise way, using natural light, that the movie has it's own unique feeling. You get put right into the story and feel like you're right in the asylum with the guys, the nightmare coming to life. It's a gorgeous movie in a subtle way. The acting is a little less confident, although it's overall a good cast. There's some moments that Caruso and Sexton deliver some stilted dialogue (like the infamous "No, fuck You" scene), but it's overall a good crew. Mullan sells us the decent but overstressed head of this crew. Caruso is playing a bit of a complicated role, the friend with some control issues and a sense of self righteousness and other quirks. Sexton is good as the doofy and immature Jeff. Gevedon is great as the slumming ex law student pulled in to the history of the asylum. And Josh Lucas really sells the sleaziness of Hank, the shit head who would cut and run at the first sign of trouble. We even get a Larry Fessenden cameo, which is always a nice surprise. Moving into spoiler territory now (SPOILERS START), I truly believe this is a better movie than The Shining. If I could only say one reason why, it's that Mullan and his character are much more interesting and well written than Jack Torrance were. His descent is handled so much more deftly and interestingly, with Mullan not overselling the madness from the get go like Jack did. His journey is so much more tragic too and he's fleshed out alot more. A little more in the better than Shining camp is that the ambiguity of why this madness happens is so much more murky. There's no picture placing Mullan in the records of the asylum back in the 1950s or some shit. Nothing is ever answered, other than Mullan has lost his damn mind and it all started the second he left the asylum for the first time. Throw in some questions on whether or not Caruso is really there in certain scenes comes up once you realize what is going on, making a rewatch so very interesting. And honestly, this movie manages to get across the same points as The Shining in many ways while managing to be human and not the coldly clinical movie than Kubrick crafted. It, to me, makes the movie richer and hit harder. (SPOILERS END). I really can't get over how masterful this movie is. Brad Anderson really knocked it out of the park here. And while I can't speak on his career firsthand, it seems that he hasn't been able to reach these heights again. Not really blaming him, as hitting perfection like this isn't very easy. I can't really recommend this enough.
The King of Marvin Gardens (August 22nd, 2016)
Director: Bob Rafelson
Starring: Jack Nicholson, Bruce Dern, Ellen Burstyn, and Julia Anne Robinson
It's interesting to me to see Jack Nicholson in his pre fame roles. Those pre Cuckoos Nest/Chinatown days where he was doing something other than give super charismatic "Jack" performances. It's here we see the talent that allowed him to go for the much bigger roles and why they aren't simple performances, but highly attuned choices. Makes me appreciate them that much more. This is one of those earlier roles, and it's very much not what one would assume from a Jack performance. This is very much opposite of the confident men he usually plays. This is a depressive, introverted man that is kind of always on edge. A homebody. When his semi estranged brother comes a calling to meet him down in Atlantic City, Jack goes down to see what he wants. The brother is the role you'd expect from Jack, but played this time out by Bruce Dern. And Dern is more than up to the job, really bringing this fast talking bullshit artist to life. But instead of bringing the role a sense of malice, willfully trying to bilk his brother out of money or something, he's just a deluded jagoff who really believes he's as good and important as he says he is. He truly thinks he's gonna help bring his brother out of his shell. But what follows is a tragedy, being a movie from the 70s. The movie could kinda be seen as an indictment of the hippie movement and the conservative lifestyle. The hippies are taken down by Derns lifestyle, with two women and his inability to recognize the reality of things and a deluded sense of optimism at the hopeful outcomes of his schemes. The two women are a big part of the indictment because of how obviously unhealthy their lives are. Burstyn is a woman who is so obviously mentally unhinged, going more and more crazy as the movie goes on until the tragic ending. Her character is a big part of this whole thing, as Derns treatment of her and his refusal to see how damaged she is goes to show how wrongheaded he is in thinking he could help Jack. The younger woman in this relationship is really just a kind of dummy, unable to make her own choices and easily led around. These aren't happy people, just deluded into thinking they are. And Jack is an indictment on the old school, as he is jut stuck in his home living with his grandpa, constantly reliving his past on his radio show. He's unable to move forward, miserable in life. This is very much a character piece, a slow mover following these two brothers. There's some detours into real estate nonsense and some criminal elements, but this is really just a slow mover. The performances are great, and it's a much more interesting movie than Rafelsons previous movie, Five Easy Pieces. It's a bit long and monotonous at points, but overall a pretty solid movie that deserves credit if only for giving us two great performances and helped launch Nicholson into the stratosphere.

Don't Breathe (August 26th, 2016)
Director: Fede Alvarez
Starring: Jane Levy, Stephen Lang, Dylan Minnette, and Daniel Zovatto
I was a very big fan of Fede's debut film, the reboot/sequel of The Evil Dead. It was a well made flick with a horrific mean streak in it, going for the throat with it's portrayal of Lovecraftian horrors emerging from the depths of hell after being unleashed from the necronomicon. The violence is graphic and mean and it really fucking hurts. There's so much shit in that movie that surprises me to my core that the MPAA allowed it. Especially the ending, where the heroine chainsaws a demon in half in graphic and comically bloody fashion. So I was excited to see what Fede had cooking for his follow up. And it's definitely a wholly original flick. No sense of repeating another filmmakers past glories here, original stamp on it or not. This is truly his own beast, and it's a wild one. Short and sweet and too the point, he gets in and out with a bunch of fucking haymakers landing to the chin. This is not an easy movie, one that will play the same to the idiots that like PG13 horror flicks with blando teen actors. There's basically no likable characters in this movie. The one we follow the most (Levy) comes close, but she's still a piece of shit thief. They aren't sociopathic levels of shit, but there's still a willingness to show them as low lives. But then there's the big one, Stephen Lang, as the biggest piece of shit in the land. They play him as the victim for a good amount of time, the blind old man who lost his daughter and stays in his house most of the time. But when he realizes that there's people in the house, he quickly turns into the maniac a horror movie needs. He comes off like a guy protecting his home with a little more vigor than necessary, taking a little too much pleasure in inflicting pain, but overall you get where he's coming from to an extent. But there's a twist that comes that just completely shifts the empathy levels all the way down, losing any sense of righteousness in the process. Lang is a beast in the role, a mainly silent performance comprised of grunts and predatory physicality in the body of a blind man. He's a haunting fucking presence before the shit hits the fan, and becomes even more terrifying. The thieves give good performances, selling the desperation required to make their stupid break in make sense. Levy does the best, continuing her collaboration with Fede. She plays the one with the tragic backstory and personal strife needed to make her scumbaggery seem at least reasonable. Minnette just comes off like a real tool. A decent enough guy, but a fucking tool only committing robberies so he can impress Levy. And Zovatto is the hood rat piece of shit dumbass that makes things so much worse for anyone he is around. Fede shows the technical prowess on display in Evil Dead wasn't a fluke, as he shoots this flick with some real fucking talent. His eye is strong and he really knows how to make violence really hurt. It's not on the level of brutality as Evil Dead, but it's still a punch packing level of nastiness. And the ending is such a descent into madness and so not where we expected the movie to go that it really feels even more original. Fede's talent for suspense is on point here, really using the conceit of having to hide from a blind man to the peak. There's a few crackerjack scenes with almost no sound that just leaves you whiteknuckling in your seat. It's been a hell of a year for horror movies and genre in general, and this keeps the trend going. Fede has shown himself to be a hell of a talent that doesn't take the easy way for anything, going to real uncomfortable places with a real strong filmmaking ability. A real wild ride, I highly recommend.

The Secret Life of Pets (August 27th, 2016)
Directors: Chris Renaud and Yarrow Cheney
Starring: Louis CK, Eric Stonestreet, Kevin Hart, and Jenny Slate
I have a weird relationship with cartoons and animated features. I like them. I watch them and own them. But when they come out, I don't rush out to see them in the theater. I usually see them on home video. And it's usually without the same amount of verve I have with other movies. It's an odd disconnect. Which is what took me two months to see this movie, a movie I wanted to see as I am a sucker for anthropomorphic animals (I still haven't seen Zootopia oddly enough) and that I bought Despicable Me to get movie money on Fandango. But I figured it was almost out of theaters and I had the time to catch a matinee, so why not. Didn't spend much money. And it was a real fun time. This isn't some Pixar/Disney level quality, where it has a lot to say. Despite the fact that it really is just Toy Story in a different skin. Same exact plot in most ways. Yet it really just goes for the base level of entertainment, and it pretty much works. Just gag after gag. Really having a good time with the pets and how they live their lives when humans aren't around. The cast is all really good. CK surprised me, as he always has the same delivery wherever he is, but he actually puts a little verve into his voice. Stonestreet sounds very different, not doing Cam from Modern Family at all. Hart is basically doing Hart but as a maniacal bunny. Jenny Slate is perfect as the girly girl dog who fights for her love, CK. Albert Brooks is a falcon trying to rehabilitate and not eat other animals. The whole crew is great and really sells the personalities. I love the animal stuff and I am an easy mark for this stuff. It's really nothing more than a fun little movie that plays as a nice diversion from the lack of real quality in most blockbusters this summer.

The Knight of Knights
William Marshal: The Flower of Chivalry
It is a remarkable coincidence that the two most distinguished medieval historians of their generation in France and England respectively, Professor Georges Duby and Sir Richard Southern, have a particular gift in common, although their interests are very different. Both have a striking capacity for seizing on a single career, a single text, or a single event, and using it as a vehicle to convey, vividly and in brief compass, perceptions founded in profound and powerful learning. Professor Duby's William Marshal is a small masterpiece in this genre.
Duby opens this biography, with typical originality, at the deathbed of William Marshal, called "the Marshal." He died at his manor of Caversham, whither he had been carried by water from London, in March of the year 1219, when his body told him he could do no more. This is not only an original but a very effective opening, for it plunges us immediately into an unfamiliar world where things are done differently, and whose stock reactions and attitudes are strange to us.
William in 1219 was a very great man earl of Pembroke in his wife's right, and up to the spring of 1219 he had been regent for the boy-king Henry III; so his death was a great event whose movements, as was to be expected in such a case, were publicly orchestrated. We are shown him making his dispositions on his bed and surrounded by his faithful men, putting his eldest son in seizin of his lands, setting his seal upon his will, receiving his final absolution, and calling for the silk cloths which he obtained in Palestine and which he would have spread on his body when it came to be buried in the Templars' London church. We see the master of the Temple arrive to admit him to his order: this is when he bids farewell to his countess, whom afterward, as one bound by the order's rule, he must not approach. We see him ordering his coffers to be opened and his goods distributed. Finally, we watch the stately progress of his body from Caversham to London, lying one night in Reading Abbey and another in the church of Staines, on its way to the Temple church, where it was buried near the tomb of Aimery, master of the Temple, "who had given up the ghost while awaiting the earl's death."
The last agonies of William Marshal lasted for nearly two months; Professor Duby is able to follow them in this strange and moving detail because their every movement was recorded in the verse biography that William's heir commissioned of his father. For the historian this is a priceless text, virtually the only full-scale life story that has survived from this age of a great secular magnate who was less than a king or prince. Put together from what William's friends, and above all his faithful knight John d'Erley, could recall of what William himself had told them of his life, it is at one…

"You see here, these dimples in the vines, those are from the hail" Mark Fincham, winemaker at Marchand-Tawse, (for the reds anyway) standing with us in a recently purchased vineyard in Burgundy's Cote de Beaune. I was there with importer Aline Thiebaut of Aliane Wine in the spring of 2014. Mark went on to tell us the Marchand-Tawse was able to acquire this vineyard because the ravaging hail in late July the year before had so devastated the vineyard and with no wine to sell and loans to be paid the owners decided to hang up their viticulture gloves. A couple of small vintages back to back and then the hail in 2013 hits leaving some vineyards reporting 50% less to zero yields? Well it caused many in the area to rethink their trade.
2013 started out with late flowering do to a particularly frigid spring which caused problems with yield and uneven ripening. The summer was late to arrive and then that late July hail storm that tore through the Cote de Beaune like an alligator, ripping off and destroying fruit and chomping fiercely at the vines. The hardest hit were Beaune, Savigny, Volnay and Pommard, the latter seeing this kind of damage for the second year in a row. Those outside the hail zone struggled with very slow ripening and pushbacks of harvest until October, 2013 being the latest harvest since 1991 in fact.
All that said, with patience and meticulous triage, or sorting, especially with the reds, the end result was a tiny bit of extremely high quality Pinot Noir and beautifully focused and precise Chardonnays. We stood in the icy, slightly empty cellar art Marchand-Tawse in Nuits-Saint-Georges with Mark, discussing and tasting the very young 2013s from barrel, all of us remarking on the purity and absolute splendor of the aromatics they were exuding, and the lacy, regal way the wines entered the palate. It is precisely vintages like 2013 that show us the true mark of great winemaking, from vineyard to barrel is all about. The wines from Marchand-Tawse are truly thrilling and thankfully for us we were able to acquire a miniscule amount of those gorgeous 2013s and we can't wait to share them with you.
Friday March 4th, 7:30 PM we will be joined by very special guests Mark Fincham and Aline Thiebaut and silly old me of course, where will be featuring 10 wines from this hard fought for but gloriously triumphant 2013 vintage and hear from the winemaker himself what it took to give us these perfectly vintage and place accented wines.

Thompson joins Springsteen on stage
At the conclusion of his three-hour set last night at the sold out Richmond Coliseum, Bruce Springsteen announced he'd like to bring an old friend on for one more song. Right on cue, out walked Robbin Thompson, composer of unofficial Virginia anthem "Sweet Virginia Breeze," and as the Hook reported in April before the Boss' JPJ set, a former bandmate of Springsteen's in the Richmond-New Jersey collective Steel Mill. Along with the rest of the E Street Band, they played a cover of the Isley Brothers' "Twist and Shout." #
4 comments
Of all the great armies of rock fans, few can match the devotion of Bruce Springsteen's. Anyone who has experienced Springsteen in concert will testify that the bond between audience and artist transcends the usual adulation. Something magical, almost mystical happens. Some might describe it as spiritual-most definitely it is life affirming. It is in trying to nail this phenomenon that the beautiful hardbound For You has arrived.
Edited by Lawrence Kirsch and replete with an amazing welter of outstanding photographs, it's a mind-blowing collection of thoughts and stories from fans of every age and many nations, each explaining why Springsteen occupies such an important place in their hearts. Covering all four decades of Springsteen's career it is possibly the ultimate fanzine for it is the fans who have made the journey and whose words tell us as much about them as they do about Springsteen. The warmth and humanity that flows from every page is truly moving and provides a beacon of hope from which we can all draw strength in these hard times. Not a book to be read at one sitting but rather to revisit and enjoy over time.
Hey Rob -
It's not nice to plagiarize. I'm willing to bet that book reviewer Colin Reel from RockNReel in the UK doesn't appreciate people copying his work and presenting it as their own, especially when it's completely out of context.
Something tells me that Rob may actually be affiliated with the website foryoubruce.com. It appears to be a website to sell a book.
I am pretty sure that the guy who wrote "Where's the beef?" was not upset that it became a catchphrase in the 80's...I am pretty sure Wendy's was pretty happy with that plagiarism.

"Don't wait for the Last Judgment. It takes place every day."
–Albert Camus
Don't worry. Over the course of this, the second season of Unabated to the Quarterback, I do plan on expanding our epigraphical purview beyond simple Albert Camus. Eventually.
But why, indeed, shall we wait for the Last Judgment of the NFL postseason and the Super Bowl to level our own indictments and criticisms and praises of the 32 franchises that constitute America's favorite sport? Why not just start now?
There are so many ways to format a season-opening NFL post. Just last season, I pulled out all the stops in our NFL Preview Bonanza. I'm afraid I shot my wad a bit on that, and there seems to be no real point of me rehashing the same favorite players and the same classic games for all 32 franchises. I thought of following the Bill Simmons route of summing up plotlines with quotes from a film; alas, those are only fun if you've seen and admire the film in question.* I could assign correspondences between each team and a character from The Wire, as well, although this would lead to massive stretches, spoilers, and alienation for those who haven't seen the show.
*We get it, Bill. You REALLY like Rounders.
