Study Guide - Part VI Two Hundred Years of Constitutional Change 1. Which group should get credit for getting the Constitution ratified (means - approved)? Explain. The Federalists. Their organization, wealth and persuasiveness prevailed over the arguments of the Anti-Federalists. They published what are now known as the The Federalist Papers, which consisted of 85 essays trying to convince voters to support the Constitution. 2. In the early months _5_ states (of the nine required) ratified the new Constitution. The state of _Massachusetts_ demanded compromises on some issues before ratifying. 3. Although nine states had voted for ratification by June of 1788, two big states, _Virginia_ and _New York_, were slow to ratify. Eventually these states voted for ratification and other smaller states followed to make it unanimous. 4. What was in the Bill of Rights that made people want to add it to the Constitution? Protection of individual rights and limits on the national government’s power 5. Name three amendments added to the Constitution since the Bill of Rights. Many things you could write here as there are now 27 amendments to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights make up the first 10. Here are a few: a. 27th Amendment – says that when Congress changes their salaries that those new salaries don’t go into effect until after the next election. b. 13th Amendment – abolished slavery c. 19th Amendment – women’s right to vote 6. The Civil War was not fought over the question of slavery, but over a constitutional issue. What was that constitutional issue? States’ rights – the idea that states should have great power compared to the power of the national government. In this case, the Southern states wanted to protect what they saw as their right to have slavery in their states while the Northern states, with great power in the national government, were threatening to abolish slavery. States’ rights – think about the Articles of Confederation, it gave great power to the states and the Anti-Federalists argued that a strong national government should be feared and instead great power should reside with the states. 7. There was disagreement between the North and the South on several issues. Where did each stand on these issues? Right to reject laws Right to secede or leave the union (country) North Didn’t believe states could reject laws passed by national government because of “contract theory” (see below). Believed national laws come before state laws. Didn’t believe states had the right to secede from the union and cited the “contract theory” – states give up the right to claim independence or disregard national government when they joined the union. South Believed that states could reject laws made by the national government if they judged them to be unconstitutional Believed states should have the right to secede from the union (leave the country) and cited John Locke’s “compact theory” – the right to revolt against an unjust government. 8. Most Americans thought that the framers of the Constitution were not acting selfishly when they wrote the Constitution. Historian Charles Beard disagreed. Explain what he said about the framers. He argued that the framers were motivated to create a new constitution to protect their financial interests.


In the mid-week of June, Splunk has come up with patches to fix the cross-site scripting vulnerabilities across the organization. However, a critical issue also leads to the arbitrary execution of code.
What is the Splunk critical vulnerability.?
The deployment server enables you to build a configuration pack that company agents can automatically download. These configurations also contain binary packages.
An administrator controls a deployment server via IP addresses, DNS names, or architecture. By default, most of the agents will operate the system on windows.
Splunk came up with a new critical-severe vulnerability CVE-2022-32158 having a CVSS score of 9.0. It enables the clients to grasp the server to distribute the forwarded bundles to various clients.
There is a risk that an attacker could compromise a Universal Forwarder endpoint and abuse it to execute arbitrary code on other endpoints connected to the deployment server. However, Splunk has fixed cross-site scripting vulnerabilities by bringing the Enterprise Deployment server version 9.0 and motivating the customers to update their versions to 9.0.
Also, the company has announced they have resolved many high-severity bugs in their enterprise. Version 9.0 enables the forwarder bundles to be downloaded without evidence.
Remediation requires updating all Universal Forwarders that the deployment server manages to version 9.0 or higher before enabling the remediation. Its cloud platform is not affected by these vulnerabilities as it does not use the servers.
How can ESOF fix the cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.?
The solution for fixing CVE-2022-32158 is to update their system to version 9.0, which is way too old. Other than this, there is no other solution to this problem; that means you will be affected by it. However, the ESOF Next-Gen platform can help in fixing the cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.
ESOF helps find vulnerabilities in conditions where products like Splunk are integrated into these types of vulnerabilities or risks. It provides Cyber Risk Score for these types of exposures or threats. The cyber score helps in understanding the cyber security posture.
ESOF has a one-click notification feature that lets the clients know about Zero-day risk linked with their assets. After detecting, it remediates the threats before their breaches.


Up to this point Prime Minister Dr. Hubert Minnis remains silent on the vacancy of the chief justice post. Wednesday, reporters attempted to speak to the prime minister but he refused to respond to questions surrounding the issue.
Meanwhile, Attorney General Carl Bethel, speaking with Eyewitness News yesterday, dismissed claims of a conflict of interest in a civil litigation against the Attorney General’s office.
The allegations come on the heels of suggestions that Bethel is set to be named as the country’s next chief justice.
In an interview with Eyewitness News yesterday, Bethel would not respond to questions on the chief justice post or whether he would accept the position if offered however, he said that the post is filled at the discretion of the prime minister.
Bethel also admitted that he did serve as the attorney in a private civil matter against the AG’s office but insisted he divested those interest following his appointment.
“The allegations are spurious,” he said.
“Yes, I acted in a civil matter on behalf of a client against the AG’s office but, immediately when I was appointed, I disclosed.”
Bethel said he also informed the AG’s office that he had no interest in the matter and did not want to be informed of the progress of the case.
“I did not want to know what is being done with that case and I removed myself …If we needed a minister of the government to go to Cabinet then they can go to the State Minister of Legal Affairs Elsworth Johnson on it,” he said.
Bethel further explained that it was customary for attorneys appointed to public office to fully disclose.
“As other attorney generals before me who have had a list of cases have done, they disclosed all of the cases.”

FUND manager Aberdeen Asset Management said sales of equity funds more than offset outflows from other asset classes in the first two months of 2011, bringing net inflows to £200m .
At 28 February, Aberdeen had total assets under management (AUM) of £176.2bn, down four per cent on the same period last year due to falling markets and negative currency effects.
During the first two months of 2011, £1bn of new money had flowed into Aberdeen’s equity funds, more than offsetting £800m pounds of outflows from fixed income, alternative investments, property and money markets.
Chief executive Martin Gilbert said the net inflows were encouraging and the “outlook for organic growth of assets under management remained favourable”.
Aberdeen noted equity pooled funds generated “significantly higher revenue margins than the outflows.”
The company also expected to see further fixed-income inflows later this year.

Why should we believe this guy?
[I apologize for the light blogging these past couple of days. We’ve had a death in my family and that, as you can probably imagine, has taken up much of my attention.]
Last night in his State of the State address, Governor Rick Snyder implored Republicans and Democrats alike to set aside their differences and work together. “I appreciate that people had different perspectives on issues,” he said. “And what I’m saying is, I’m hoping we can find common ground where we can work together and I hope all of you join me in doing the same thing.”
Multi-millionaire Dick DeVos said much the same thing in an op-ed after Republicans made Michigan a Right to Work state. “We can’t finish rebuilding this state unless we pull together,” said DeVos.
These are easy things to say when you have the ability to win all of your political battles. When the deck is stacked completely in your favor, you can say nice things about “working together” and “pulling together”. Because, at the end of the day, if your political opponents disagree with you, you can simply run them over just like Governor Snyder, the Michigan Republicans, and their financial backer Dick DeVos have done for the past two years.
Rick Snyder has talked a good game all along. On the campaign trail and in his State of the State addresses, he never talked about crushing the unions, raising taxes on the majority of Michiganders (particularly the most vulnerable), or eviscerating school funding to benefit his business pals. Yet this is exactly what he did in the time he’s had in office. So, you’ll pardon us on the left if we are skeptical about this newfound desire to be bipartisan. We’re not buying it.
David Hecker from the American Federation of Teachers put it this way:
Actions speak louder than words, and after the past two years, it’s clear we just can’t trust Gov. Snyder. Instead of investing in education, he cut $1 billion from K-12 schools. When he said Right to Work wasn’t on his agenda, he signed a bill without holding a single committee hearing. Talk about investing in early childhood education is cheap. It’s time to make public education a top priority to give our kids a better future.
Governor Snyder, who says we need to raise $1 billion dollars to pay for road, bridge and other infrastructure repair, is very likely going to need Democratic votes to get that done. I don’t see it happening but the fault for that will not be on the Democrats but for the Republicans who have literally kicked sand in the Dems’ faces like the neighborhood bully for the past two years, making cooperation nearly impossible and certainly not something they showed any interest in. If he can’t get Dems to vote for tax increases, he’ll have to take it from things that he knows Republicans will vote for so watch out if you’re poor or a group that Democrats support: you may very well see a tax increase in your future.
Here’s what Zack Pohl from Progress Michigan had to say:
Gov. Snyder has spent two years making a lot of promises to Michiganders, but his $2.5 billion in corporate tax cuts have failed to create more and better jobs. In fact, Michigan’s unemployment rate is still higher than it was during Jennifer Granholm’s first term. We need to fix Michigan’s crumbling roads and bridges, but middle class families shouldn’t be forced to pick up the tab while corporate special interests get another tax giveaway.
Governor Snyder could take a relentless positive action right now by pushing to expand Medicaid to more Michiganders as part of the Affordable Care Act. As LOLGOP wrote yesterday, this move would make sure that upwards of 670,000 additional citizens would be covered and the cost to the state would be nominal.
PLEASE SIGN OUR PETITION ASKING GOVERNOR SNYDER TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND EXPAND MEDICAID IN MICHIGAN. And share the petition with your friends and family.

We've done it friends! We've almost made it to summer solstice - the longest day of the year, the first official day of summer, the day I live for! Okay that's a bit extreme ;) but tomorrow is the first day of summer! Break out your shorts, iced coffee, and 4th of July decorations because summer is happening!
4th of July is one of my favorite holidays (probably mainly because it's my husbands absolute favorite holiday). Our 4th of Julys together have always included going to his parent's house for a BBQ and when it gets dark, he puts together a full on mini firework show. My favorite parts related to fireworks are picking them out at the stand with him and playing with sparklers :) The most amazing part is that his parent's dog will just sit outside and join us in watching the show without even being scared! Last year she even started falling asleep. What other dog have you heard of that loves fireworks?!
I'm so excited to create 4th of July décor and share it with you! Whether you're having a full on party with fireworks or just hanging around your house, this week's DIY will add some USA right into your home :)
This bandana flag wreath is super easy, inexpensive, and took me probably 15-20 minutes to create tops!
For this DIY you'll need:
- One (1) 13.8in (35cm) foam wreath form
- One (1) blue bandana
- Two (2) white bandanas
- Three (3) red bandanas
- Glue gun
- Red ribbon
- Pins (I got sized 12 -- 3/4 in so they were shorter)
Fold the blue bandana starting at one corner almost like you're rolling it up or as you would if you were wearing it in your hair (see photo below). Use the glue gun to secure the opposite corner so it stays together.
Next place glue on the wreath (this will now be the back side of the wreath) and stick the blue bandana onto the wreath. Add some pins to help hold and secure the bandana to the wreath mold.
Then, begin wrapping the bandana at a diagonal around the wreath until the end gets to the back side of the wreath. Glue and pin down the end of the bandana in the same way you did at the beginning.
Next, fold the red bandana just like you did with the blue one before. Make sure to glue down the opposite corner. Overlapping the blue bandana to the blue bandana slightly, repeat the same steps of glueing and pinning to the backside and wrapping. Repeat this while alternating between red and white (starting with red), making sure to glue and pin the beginning and end of each bandana to the back side of the wreath form.
The amount of bandanas mentioned above should be enough to cover this size wreath form. Arrange the wreath so the blue bandana is in the top left (like on the American flag). You can totally leave it just like this at this point, but I had found some star shaped brads that I decided to add to the blue bandana to look more like the flag. I simply pushed each tiny star into the bandana and wreath form for them to stay. No glue needed!
Then, cut a piece of ribbon to approximately 3 feet long. Fold it in half, place it under the wreath where the blue and red bandana meet with the fold of the ribbon on top. Pull the bottom piece of the ribbon through the fold loop and pull. Tie a ribbon at the top so it can hang.
And that's it! Simply hang on your door and you've just upped your 4th of July festivity! ;)
You could totally use your creativity to add to this wreath with more details, or a larger wreath form and more bandanas, or creating a different bandana pattern. I personally liked the simplicity of the wreath just like this, but I'd love to see how you make it your own! Tag me on Instagram or post to my Facebook page if you try out this craft! :)
I hope your first official day of summer is great and you have many iced coffees in your upcoming week ;)
See you next Wednesday!

By Steven Kurlander
Since appearing before Congress and lamenting the intolerance found in today’s Republican Party, Jeb Bush is continuing to press his case, most recently in a National Review article entitled “The Grand Solutions Party.”
Bush argues that President Obama has governed from a “One Ideology, One Party, and One Man” perspective – “a centralized, planned, command-and-control government.”
Bush suggests Republicans present an alternative governing style, one that embraces “policy experimentation and fresh approaches” and presents the GOP as the “party of competing ideas.”
“It is time for the Republican party to offer an alternative. Not just an alternative to President Obama’s agenda of liberal government, which is important to do. We need to present an alternative to his approach to governance in general. An approach that applies to every elected office.”
For role models, Bush points to New Jersey’s Gov. Chris Christie, Louisiana’s Gov. Bobby Jindal and Indiana’s Gov. Mitch Daniels. These leaders have successfully worked with Democrats on contentious issues, and have expressed divergent opinions on issues such as immigration and social policy.
“The animating force of this governance is diversity and creativity of thinking. And that is how the Republican Party should always be,” Bush wrote.
While acknowledging that Republicans should continue to believe in an ideology that encompasses individual achievement and opportunity, and small government, he stressed that strict adherence to ideology is not always practical when attempting to resolve complicated issues.
“Thick black lines of ideology are good at keeping people in, but they are also good at keeping people out. And our party can’t win if we keep people out. Our goal is not to assemble a small army of purists. We need a nation of converts. We have seen the other way of governing. It has had its day. It has made its best case. It has failed.”
Yet Bush’s advocacy for open discussion and tolerance only goes so far.
It’s how he uses that word “liberal” in associating the failures of Obama’s reign. It sounds like a dogmatic slur word — ala RINO — and diminishes his call for the GOP to be more tolerant of differing philosophies and opinions.
In the political context, the term “Liberal” has undergone several revisions since the end of World War II and means different things to different people.
Within the Republican Party, which once had a very powerful Liberal wing, the rabid, intolerant conservatism that Bush decries has succeeded in equating the word with extreme leftist ideologies such as socialism and Marxism.
In fact, Bush’s description of Obama’s reign in the White House as “One Ideology, One Party, and One Man” is more Orwellian than anything else.
For Bush to validate his message, he should be the first to stop using the buzzword “Liberal” in a derogatory manner.
Here’s the bottom line: No matter what race, color, sex, or class — and no matter what they call themselves — most Americans are not moderates, which on its face disregards passionate belief. Rather, they are what I would call “liberal conservatives.” They judge issues and causes case-by-case — some liberal, some conservative — informed by their personal upbringing, religion, beliefs and lifestyles.
In reality, there’s a little liberal in every conservative, and a little conservative in every liberal.
Americans are disgusted with the control of both political parties by the extremes of the spectrum.
Bush is making a righteous argument for a paradigm change toward more dialogue, more compromise and more common sense.
To truly capture the hearts and minds of Americans, he just needs to be a little more liberal in how he speaks about the change he wants to see.

Weight is the enemy of performance. But where the weight on a car also matters. In the case of the electric MINI Cooper SE, that weight is as low as possible creating an astonished low center of gravity. Then there’s the immediacy of the torque which propels the MINI Cooper SE to 30 mph faster than any MINI ever. But what happens when you get the electric MINI Cooper SE on a track? We went to California’s BMW Performance Center to find out.
A few of quick warm-up laps on the auto-cross circuit immediately revealed a few things. For one acceleration is immediate and drama-free. The second thing is that weight. As we mentioned the center of gravity is lower than on any modern MINI ever with its 32.6 kWh lithium-ion battery wedged as low as possible.
Despite a ride height that’s an inch higher than normal, this thing is immediate in its direction changes and is extremely progressive at the limit. In fact it is the most balanced MINI I have ever driven.
About that weight. A standard Mini Cooper S weighs in between 2,700 and 2,800 depending on options. The Cooper SE is over 300 lbs heavier at 3,153 lbs. The Cooper SE constantly surprises in the way it builds speed, even upwards of triple digits. But there’s a clear difference at the limit as compared to a manual Cooper S or JCW. We’re not sure we miss the more nose heavy nature of those cars but we do like the quicker ability to change direction and the eagerness that less weight brings.
The JCW vs the Cooper SE at the Track
The handling balance and the immediacy of the acceleration is addicting and within 30 minutes we had it down. So down in fact I recorded the fastest run of the day by a half a second. And from having driven the same course with the current JCW, the experience is both familiar yet totally different. With no sound other than wind and tires, there’s less sensory inputs but with that more ability to focus on what matters like braking points, steering angles and throttle modulation.
Yet there’s no question which feels more exciting – the JCW. Especially in manual form, you interact with the car in a more dynamic way connecting you with the experience at a deeper level. In the Cooper SE there’s simply less experience in the process.
Balance is another key difference. The ICE version of the F56 hatch is very nose heavy with a weight distribution of 68/32. Compare that to the electric MINI Cooper SE’s 54/46, and you start to understand the most important difference between these cars. Where the standard Cooper S is constantly transferring weight front to back in tight corners, the Cooper SE is more composed and fluid. Yes there’s more weight but it’s location makes the car more forgiving and predictable.
In other words the unbalanced nature of the standard Cooper S makes getting speed out of it harder. But like all things that can be tricky to master, it’s ultimately rewarding when you do – especially if you’re rowing the gears yourself.
Yet rewarding doesn’t always equal more fun. The electric MINI Cooper SE delivers fun with speed and balance that no MINI has before it.
Electric MINIs at the Track – Take aways
Yes electricity introduces issues at the track. Charging is an issue. But in a ICE world so are brakes and even tires. And then there’s the biggest limiting factor – mental endurance. Spending hour after hour at a track is both incredible and a bit mentally exhausting if you don’t do it regularly. Fact is the battery capacity isn’t really an issue in the big picture. Really what the MINI Cooper SE lacks is simply the excitement of sensory overload. The engine revving and the gears changing creates a more exciting atmosphere – no question.
After a day at the track with the entire MINI range, it’s clear that going electric doesn’t mean you can’t have fun. The all electric MINI Cooper SE is just at home on the track as a standard Cooper S. Its immediacy and balance make it a natural for the smaller, tighter courses and auto-crossing. And it’s ultimately easier to drive fast due to its power delivery and balance.
In many ways I preferred the experience to the JCW I had just gotten out of. It’s simpler, more focused and just as fast. And if it’s the future, even at the track, we’ll all be ok.
Pricing And Availability
The 2022 MINI Cooper SE will start at $29,900. That’s before the $7,500 federal tax incentives and before other state incentives that will likely apply. That means for most, the MINI Cooper SE could cost (after tax deductions) just over $20,000. Availability is another thing. You won’t likely find many on lots due to demand. Instead our recommendation would be ordering via your local MINI Store exactly the spec you want.


text: This article examines an Internet project — sarsart.org — that features digital artworks created in response to the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak in spring 2003. Qualitative methods including archival research, semiotic analysis, and interviews are used to examine the emergence and substance of this Internet project. The analysis identifies ways in which contributions by artists and bloggers (i.e., individuals with their own Internet site or Web log) contest institutional representations of SARS. The site challenges the representation of the outbreak on three levels: portrayals of citizens affected by SARS, portrayals of health professionals, and portrayals of the risk and panic associated with the outbreak. The argument is made that Internet projects such as sarsart.org can increase the capacity for cultural resistance by creating greater opportunities for the expression of political opposition to institutional authority.

It is become a well known fact that reports of domestic violence with female perpetrators and male victims are increasing. Generally it is felt that professionals do not know how to handle this kind of violence and that in the past men have had trouble reporting occurrences. This article on Yahoo reports a trend of increasing partner violence initiated by women.
One of the reasons that men find it difficult to report female on male violence is down to childhood conditioning. From an early age boys are told to be mummy’s brave little soldier and are taught the suppression of their emotions and feelings.
Also mothers are considered to be one of the first messengers where boys learn that status is linked to achievement. Any man who is invited to his girlfriend’s house will undoubtedly have her mother enquiring into his achievements and job role. This is considered to be the masculine position.
Alongside this there are social messages and norms that are picked up by men, including social contact at school where boys are ridiculed and pushed down the pecking order for tearful outbreaks together with stories where white knights rescue damsels in distress from dangers untold.
Any man suffering violence at the hand of a woman usually expected so experience shame, guilt and something of an internal credibility gap as well as an external loss of status when word gets out they have reported the crime. It is this shaming that often silences men from reporting real danger and violence.
Men are generally responsive to social hierarchy as a result of conditioning that women do not have to suffer. For example men are expected to stop escalating anger and violence when the other party submits or onlookers decree that “he’s had enough mate”. Often women are not subject to the same pressures and conditioning and therefore have no off switch.
When combined with the belief that many women have that they can enact violence without repercussion and that men will always be blamed for the incidence of intimate partner violence means that we are now seeing a real rise in the amount of female initiated attacks. It is also notable that women are more likely to posture with violence, which is often seen as a socially acceptable response to the now outdated view espoused by many feminist writers that domestic violence is always attributable to men.
However in fairness this does not mean to say that women are always treated equally or fairly, sadly it is shown that our perceptions around an individual’s job role as well as their self identification can have an effect on how they are treated. In fact it can be easier for smaller women to rationalise violence than women who work in defence or in the police forces, as research actually show the latter is more likely to experience PTSD.
If you are having trouble with a violent partner then you should always report them to the police in the first instance. However if you are finding yourself increasingly prone to violent thoughts and responses to any stimulus in life then it may be a good idea to seek professional help.
Hypnotherapy can assist you in finding new strategies in dealing with your own inability to handle angry outbursts and may present you with alternative methods to find a calmer, more relaxed you. Why not contact me for a free consultation session where we can explore the options available to you.

Actress Richa Chadha has said in her tweet, ‘Stop blaming women for men’s mistakes’. Richa Chadha wrote in her tweet, ‘It has become our national sport. Whenever a man makes a mistake, everyone starts blaming the woman in his life instead of blaming him. I am happy to know that Shilpa has filed a case against such people.
Meanwhile, the Crime Branch of Mumbai Police is probing the involvement of Shilpa Shetty in the case. Of course, they have not found any solid evidence against Shilpa yet. But Bollywood’s famous director Hansal Mehta, reacting to the whole matter, has given his support to Shilpa Shetty. ‘If you can’t support Shilpa, leave her alone. Right now they need their privacy the most. He has said so in his tweet.
Shilpa Shetty has filed a defamation suit in the Mumbai High Court for spreading false and misleading news on various media houses and social media platforms after the arrest of her husband Raj Kundra a few days back. He has also demanded compensation of Rs 25 lakh. Meanwhile, the Mumbai Police is yet to give a clean chit to Shilpa Shetty in the Raj Kundra pornography case.

So here goes.
Families in France used to have the big family meal every Sunday... it was a big event where everyone in the family was invited to come over to 'one family members' house and eat a huge meal.
This meal is/was taken in the middle of the day, often around 1pm.. it is conisdered an all day event, often running until 8 or 9 at night. Our lasted around 6 hours.. and during that time I played 'Japanese Tourist' and photographed the eating phenomenon. Follow along with me.
The Sunday Meal startes with...
In the picture: paté en croute, small toastades with mushroom paté and roquefort/fig jam.
Once we move to the table, the host/ess picks your seat. The table is often magnificiently decorated..
|Brian in Contemplation for the next meal..|
Entrée: Literally translated as entrance. The meal is often a quiche accomagnied by a salad, a salad itself with livers, something light yet delicious to introduce the rest of the meal. Usually takes around 40 minutes.
In the picture: A cake of liver, actually kind of like a crustless liver quiche, and a wonderful butter leaf salad with 3-oil vinaigrette. I was told the liver recipe was 100 years old.
The wine is often changed depending on the meat served, if it's a salad, etc.
In the picture: A very well made veal cut, zucchini gratin and a tomate a la provençal.
In the picture: Starting from the closest and going clockwise: roquefort, little dried goat cheeses, salty cows milk cheese, cows milk, tomme and st. felician, an incredibly creamy cheese.
The cheese takes a while to finish, so often at this point we're all so full we don't even want dessert... so we wait. The cheese can take about 45 minutes depending on the fullness of the group.
Finally... dessert arrives.
In the picture: a chocolate fluffy cake with a crusty almond bottom, almond cookie, vanilla ice cream and raspberries w/ sauce. Incredibly decadent.
Finally to top it off, everyone hobbles back into the living room to take digestif, which is an after dinner liqueur, usually like a strong alcoholic beverage to be sipped for about 1 hour until everyone is talked out and totally full.
These are the two hosts today..
|These are the two hosts in 1969... adorable.|
And finally we all depart, hours later. Here are some extra photos from our visit in Vienne:
|Old Castle on the Hill|
And finally our host(s) home.. beautiful.
Enjoy, and good luck.. remember to take your time and say thank you... ALOT!
Bon Appetit, as Julia Child loved to say.

Home wine making is a skill that’s easy to learn but difficult to master. Experience is the only way to get better, but the process is simple enough to start in an afternoon. In the simplest form of wine making, all you need to do is mix juice, sugar, and yeast and let it ferment for 10 to 30 days. However, the result won’t be particularly pleasant. Creating a rich and full-bodied wine requires carefully picking fruits that capture the flavor you want and relying on the right chemicals and equipment to give it the perfect taste.
Start by making sure all your equipment and ingredients are fully washed and cleaned. Pick sour or rotten fruit from the batch. If you don’t have a wine press, you’ll need to crush the fruit yourself, using a strainer, a bucket, and your clean feet.
Beer brewing is an art that is almost as old as civilization itself. For millennia, people have tried to craft and perfect their own home brewing recipes using different grains and equipment that helped them achieve good tasting beer. Today’s beer is mainly made from barley, and some beer enthusiasts would insist that a top-quality drink should only be made from barely. However, other grains are also just as capable of whipping up a great batch of the famous drink.
Wheat, sorghum, rye, oats, corn, rice, and even sugar are all known as adjuncts. The term “adjunct” refers to any unmalted grain used in beer brewing to supplement the main ingredient (commonly malted barley). Some people think that adjuncts are only used to cut down on production costs, since some grains like rice and corn are cheaper than barley.
Home brewers have two options when it comes to making beer at home: extract brewing and all-grain brewing. To begin with, it is important to understand the home brewing process itself.
Beer is a result of fermenting malt sugar. The traditional process of making beer is to mash grains, take the remaining sugars as base, introduce the yeast, and then wait for it to ferment. Traditionally, all-grain is the only way to brew beer; however, today’s technology has made it possible to brew even with extracts only. In simple terms, an extract is a ready-made malt that can be immediately used as a base. Extract brewing allows the brewers to skip over the malting and mashing process and go right ahead to the fermenting process.
It is common for beer lovers, particularly those who brew their own, to check their beer’s label and study the content. Some ingredients, like milk or fruits, can certainly point to the brewers’ creativity, but the use of chili peppers surely reflects the brewer’s preference for the hot stuff. If you want to give your homemade brew a kick, a dash of chili pepper could be the answer.
Caution: Hot Zone
In his article for Brew Your Own magazine, Scott Russell says there are many cardinal elements to consider before you even go about making your own chili beer. One main point is that the chili content must not overpower your brewed malt and hops. The beer itself should be well-brewed and can stand their ground.
There are many fruits which can be used for homemade wines. Specific citrus varieties, like tangerine, have become perennial favorites by home winemakers who want to craft something different from the products available at the nearest liquor store.
Tangerines, also known by their scientific name citrus reticulata, have been tagged as cousins of oranges. Along with satsumas, tangerines come from the Mandarin family of citrus trees, and both originated from Southeast Asia. Tangerines are recognizable by their smaller size compared to oranges, and are also easier to peel than oranges. Some of the well-known tangerine varieties include the much sought-after Wilking and Kinnow, the Nova, and the Changsha. However, you have to be careful when shopping around for tangerines – a few citrus fruits may be passed off as tangerines but are not “true” tangerines, such as Calamondins and Minneota Tangeloes.
Has six months passed since you made wine using your starter kit from The Brewmeister? That means the home-made wine sitting in your basement is now finally ready for tasting. But wait; do you know how to properly assess your wine? Knowing the proper wine tasting techniques will give you the necessary skill to determine if your home brewing recipes are successful.
Here are pointers on how to properly taste and assess wine:
1. Pouring the Wine – Proper wine tasting starts at the pouring itself. In a restaurant, the waiter will do this for you, but at your own home, you need to do it yourself. When pouring, make sure that the bottle is about 6-10 inches from the bottom of the glass, to allow the liquid to aerate as you pour, thus improving the taste.
Beer is almost as old as civilization itself. Some historians believe that beer making started some 10 millenniums ago when our ancient ancestors moved away from hunting and gathering, and started agriculture. Nobody really knows how it was invented, but the common belief is that a barrel of bread or grain got wet and turned into pulp. Someone must have tried this pulp, either out of curiosity or hunger, and found it good. Majority of the ancient civilizations, like the Mesopotamians and the Egyptians, included the drink in many of their religious ceremonies.
One has to wonder, however, if the beer made today is still the same as the ancient beer that our ancestors created. The answer is no. While the brewing process and techniques remain largely unchanged, the home brewing supplies back then were different.

How to Watch an Away Game
Mary Claire O'Donnell | Friday, September 9, 2011
Football Saturdays are some of the best days at Notre Dame, without a doubt. But even that doesn’t mean the weekends we don’t have home turf advantage can’t be just as epic. Whether you are watching the game in South Bend, the Big House or any other venue, here are some tips to make your weekend memorable and amazing.
What to Eat
Sustenance is a hugely important part of any day, but especially game days, when you might be tailgating in triple-digit temperatures or sitting through a rainy game. The right food will help keep your energy up during the whole game and help avert rough Sunday mornings. And don’t you want your strength for the pushups we will all hopefully be doing in excess tomorrow? For those of you staying home and watching the game, chili is a great option. This delicious stew is a great crowd-pleaser and easy to make for all the friends gathered in your living or common room.
If you are heading to an opposing stadium, pack your grill and brats. Tailgating is a fantastic way to meet rival fans and engage in friendly competitions to prove the worth of your team. Furthermore, the proximity to enemy fans provides excellent opportunities for heckling them — in a friendly manner, of course — for their poor taste in sports teams. Food inside the stadium or at nearby restaurants may be expensive or subject to long lines, so tailgating is the way to go.
Where to Watch
If you are headed up to the Big House with a ticket this weekend, or to any away game this season, you are one of the chosen few. Enjoy your time in enemy territory and keep up the spirit even amidst rabid opposing fans. For those without a ticket, going to a local bar is a great alternative. This option may only be for those 21+, depending on the rules of the pub. However if that is you, going to bars is a great way to enjoy all the fun an away game has to offer. You can meet the locals, still engage in some friendly taunting and watch the game from inside if the weather goes foul.
If you are staying in South Bend for the away game, don’t fret; you can still have a fantastic Saturday. Gather your friends in your apartment or dorm room, if space allows. If it doesn’t, rally the troops in one of the lounges in your dorm. Assign different people different snack items to bring, from chips to salsa, soda to brownies. As long as your friends and delicious snacks surround you, you will have a great time — sure to be even better if the Irish do well.
How to Watch
If you are headed to the game, make all of us proud with your cheers, jeers and Irish pride. Wear The Shirt into the stadium. Fly your ND flag from your car. Sing along to the band. Whatever you do, just make sure the opposing team knows the Fighting Irish faithful are there en masse. And if you are in enemy territory but not necessarily inside the stadium, make sure your fellow bar-occupants are fully aware of your allegiances. Do push-ups inside the establishment if necessary.
If you are at home watching the game on TV, don’t let your enthusiasm wane even though the team can’t see it. Wear your favorite memorabilia to show your Irish pride. Decorate your dorm room or apartment with Irish-themed ornaments from the local Dollar Store or Christmas Tree Shop. The team may not be able to see your fanaticism, but they can feel it. Keep up the spirit in and outside your domicile. Don’t let it fade even if they Irish suffer a rough half.

BURBANK, CA (Nov. 12, 2019) — On Tuesday, film and television musicians marked the launch of Disney’s new streaming service Disney+ with a large rally outside the company’s Burbank studios to demand a fair contract for streaming that includes residuals, set wages, and screen credits.
More than 50 musicians arrived at the rally from a double-decker Starline tour bus draped with a huge #BandTogether banner and performed a live street concert outside Disney’s gates and rallied along with colleagues and allies from fellow entertainment unions including the Animation Guild, SAG-AFTRA and the International Cinematographers Guild.
The rise of streaming services like Disney+ marks a shift toward a new business model for film and television, along with an unnecessary and unwarranted effort by major studios to decimate musicians’ livelihoods in the process.
“As delivery systems continue to evolve, one thing that remains constant is the desire for the producers to include live musicians — frequently 80- to 100-piece orchestras — to support the stories they set out to tell,” said Alex Iles, a trombonist who has worked in the industry for over 30 years. “The musicians who provide this service are highly trained and specialized and have dedicated their careers to bringing composers’ music to life on screen. In order to ensure that our employers may continue to draw on the most talented pool of musicians to continue this service, musicians need to make adequate salaries to keep up financially living in the expensive place where the majority of this work takes place.”
Major entertainment companies including CBSViacom, Disney/ABC, MGM, NBCUniversal, Sony, and Warner Media pay actors, writers, and directors for streaming work, but refuse to pay musicians industry standard wages and residuals for streaming. This represents a 75% pay cut, and musicians have launched a grassroots #BandTogether campaign calling for a fair contract as they continue negotiations with the studios.
Tuesday’s rally follows a number of recent actions in New York and Los Angeles including visiting studio executives at their homes, impromptu concerts outside events honoring studio executives, picketing Disney CEO Bob Iger’s book signings, and rallies with elected leaders.
“Musicians spend their lives investing time, money, skill and passion into their art,” said harpist Allison Allport. “When musicians contribute their hard work, dedication and artistry to a show, they not only enrich the emotional lives of millions of people, but generate real profits for producers. Musicians must be fairly compensated for these contributions.”
The musicians’ grassroots #BandTogether movement has earned support from major names in the industry including Quincy Jones, J.J. Abrams, Randy Newman, Hans Zimmer, Lalo Schifrin, Pinar Toprak, Justin Hurwitz, John Williams, Jeff Beal and many more.
“I cherish my relationship with the family of musicians in Los Angeles,” said Quincy Jones. “It is a bond built on respect and admiration for their talent and for their dedication to the work we have done on film and television soundtracks over so many years. They have my full support in upcoming negotiations with major studios because it is important that we keep the film and television music industry strong and vital — and here in Hollywood.”
Musicians are currently negotiating new contracts in Los Angeles and return to the bargaining table next week.

We propose a model of gradual bargaining in the spirit of the Nash axiomatic theory. In this model the underlying set of payoff opportunities expands continuously with time. Unlike Nash's solution that predicts a single agreement for each bargaining problem, our solution yields a continuous path of agreements--one for each point in time. It emerges from a simple and intuitive differential equation. We discuss the relationship between the gradual solution and various solution concepts of the standard Nash framework, and characterize it axiomatically with the essential axiom being "Invariance with Respect to Increasing Transformations". By using the richer framework of gradual bargaining, our axiomatization resolves a well known impossibility result by Shapley (1969), and it allows to construct an ordinal solution. Furthermore, our approach deals with some of the shortcomings of Nash's axiomatization. In particular, our axiomatic characterization does not use the controversial axiom of IIA and the sets of payoff opportunities are not restricted to be convex. In the spirit of the Nash Program we propose several non cooperative bargaining models that sustain our solution. Finally, we apply our model to discuss the allocation of physical (or monetary) assets when individuals' risk aversion changes over time.

There are so many reasons that I started this shoe label, but the main one and the one that underpins my "why" is that when my Dad died suddenly; I decided that I needed more colour in my life and to be braver and bolder in my choices.
fletcher (my Dad's surname and my maiden name) paired with my married name Lovell brings my Dad on this journey with me.
Our range is inspired by art, colour and playfulness. Our fLats are designed to be feminine but functional - travelling in heels is impractical and life is meant to be fun! I've started the range with reinvented ballet fLats; I grew up in the 1980's and Princess Diana was a huge style icon for me - she often wore ballet flats, was never afraid of colour and always came across as brave and bold.
Our fLats are amazing quality and are ethically handcrafted in Spain by a family business that has operated for four generations. All of our shoes are in small runs (to prevent waste), our shoe boxes and tissue paper are made from recycled paper and we only use plastic where necessary to protect our shoes.
Our fLats are all limited edition, with certain colour schemes and patterns unique to fletcherLovell.
It is my mission to bring quality statement shoes to make women feel bright and bold.
Love Penny xo


“Post Mortem” — NPR/ProPublica/Frontline
“Post Mortem” isn't your typical series about dead babies. In its five parts, you'll find no gushing about the little fingers, chubby legs or cherubic smiles of the young victims. That's because the focus of the series isn't the children themselves, but rather how the wrong people were accused and convicted of killing them.
Investigative journalism entails challenging orthodoxies. It involves questioning some of our most deeply held values and beliefs — the integrity of our presidents, the safety of our kids' toys and the soundness of common medical diagnoses, for example. As jobs go, it can be lonely and daunting.
NPR's Joe Shapiro — along with journalists from ProPublica and Frontline — hit a triple whammy with “Post Mortem” by debunking widely held assumptions about shaken baby syndrome, exposing how coroners, police and prosecutors can target innocent people and showing how juries fall for it all too often.
One of Shapiro's subjects, Ernie Lopez, articulates the rush to blame simply and eloquently. “A baby died. Somebody's gonna go to jail.”
The series spun from an earlier collaborative series by the three media organizations about the state of medical examiners and coroners in the U.S. “Post Mortem: The Child Cases” — a runner up for the 2012 Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism — looked specifically at problems with the way medical examiners approached child deaths.
As part of the series, Shapiro broke a story about the pediatric neurosurgeon who did the original research about shaken baby syndrome in 1971. Norman Guthkelch, who was 95 at the time of the interview, expressed alarm about how the diagnosis too often is being applied without coroners and medical examiners considering other possible causes for a child's injury or death. Just as some early atomic scientists decried their research being used as weapons of mass destruction, Guthkelch was hell-bent that his research not be misused.
Shapiro had come to NPR in 2001 after 19 years as a print reporter at U.S. News and World Report. If he had reservations about the limitations of radio, they faded with interviews such as Guthkelch's. During their conversation, when asked about the weak evidence of shaken baby syndrome in a case in Arizona, Guthkelch responded without reservation: “I wouldn't hang a cat on the evidence of shaking, as presented.” Shapiro was struck by the dimension in Guthkelch's voice, which he's sure he “couldn't have come close to capturing in print.”
“He's this brilliant man, here he is at 95 and you could hear the concern, the regret in his voice, and this man facing this thing that is his legacy with this regret about how it was used,” Shapiro says.
Reporting on innocence cases requires taking risks — standing behind people whom police, prosecutors, juries and whole communities have demonized. The challenges are even higher with people tagged as having killed babies.
In all the stories his team reported in the U.S. and Canada, the one that most stands out for Shapiro involved Ernie Lopez, who was sentenced to 60 years on a charge of sexually assaulting 6-month-old Isis Vas, and also facing capital murder charges for her death. Though documentation, interviews with witnesses and experts, and hours with Lopez convinced Shapiro of his innocence, it was a challenge to make listeners care about a man accused of the some of worst crimes imaginable.
“So I started with that. I started off acknowledging that this is horrible. We're starting from this place of being horrified,” he says. “In the second graph I say there's a lack of agreement among medical experts about what causes death and that sometimes innocent people get wrongly convicted. And I shed a little bit of light and say it could be something else. And then I have to walk people through what happened in a way they're open to listening to what happened. I unspooled the story in a way that you can be open-minded and not sure about Ernie. As I tell the story, I start to give a feeling about what happened. I'm cognizant of the fact that people are going to be pretty suspicious of this guy. They should be.”
Using the particularly powerful tools of his trade, Shapiro played the 911 call in which listeners could hear Lopez's panic and confusion over Vas's unconsciousness as Lopez and his wife were providing child care for her. Slowly, Shapiro detailed the growing body of evidence that Isis was killed by disease, not violence. Upon closer examination than the photos had at trial, he explained how they could have been misinterpreted to show sexual abuse. Rather, tests suggested a coagulation disorder that can cause bleeding from every orifice. Shapiro needed time to unfold these details, subtly prodding listeners' suspicions and skepticism about Lopez's innocence claim to fade. It helped that his editors at NPR gave him 20 minutes to run the story on “All Things Considered” — far more than the typical 12-minute investigative piece.
Shapiro is proud of the fact that he and his “Post Mortem” team were the first people other than Lopez's family and lawyers to believe him. “What mattered to Ernie is that we told his story,” he says. Less than a year after Lopez's story was told, a three-judge panel vacated his conviction and Lopez walked free after nearly nine years behind bars. The local prosecutor says he will retry him.
Lopez's and several other cases in “Post Mortem” raised uncomfortable questions about approaches that for decades have become all too entrenched in the medical and social services establishment. They showed how, in the name of child protection, flawed science can ruin people's lives.
“We have a response — all of us, as a society and a legal system — when a child dies. It makes us angry. It moves us. We want to punish the person who's responsible…especially if he or she was caring for the child at the time. I think this is the danger, this is why innocent people go to prison — because we have this narrative in our head about what causes a child to die,” Shapiro says.
With the project, “We were aware that we were doing something that would change the way people who heard these stories perceived, assumed things — that you would not automatically make assumptions about someone accused of shaken baby syndrome,” he adds. “I felt that I was doing something that I hoped would change the way listeners thought of the subject.”

If you don’t already know about Allie Teilz, you’ll definitely want to remember her name. Sure, she’s a mega babetron will killer style to boot, but she’s also a part of L.A. DJ collective The Embassy and has
cameos lead parts in some seriously stellar music videos for the Silversun Pickups and Chateau Marmont. Allie was kind enough to make us a playlist and explain the brilliance behind it. Check it ouuuut!
Allie Teilz, Lost Angeles.
Tell us the inspiration behind the playlist you created:
Driving through the city at night with the windows down. Being in love. Songs that flow through your veins—that move your limbs and excite your soul. Songs to transform any location into a dance floor. Music to elevate your mood.
How would you describe your sound?
Inclusive, sexy, funky, weird. I don’t love anything like I love hip-hop and/or a Nile Rodgers guitar riff.
How did you end up becoming a DJ?
Playlists have always been my diary, and music was my first and greatest love. When I got older and built my record collection, I realized I could do what I loved for a living. For as long as I can remember, I would be by the stereo learning how to connect with people through music at social gatherings. When I moved to LA from NY, I joined The Embassy—a DJ collective founded by Chris Holmes—which allowed me to commit to the nightlife world without compromising my taste.
What’s your go-to song to get the party started?
“Try Again” by Aaliyah.
Any tips for aspiring DJs?
Take the time to educate yourself and develop your own unique taste. Learn from the greats and stay in touch with the times. Be firm in your knowledge and able to read the crowd. Get people dancing, but also open their minds to different sounds and emotions.

The Obama administration has taken two extraordinary steps this week in their attempt to pander to so-called “LGBT Rights” activists, and both of them are getting huge backlash. From citizens, and from states.
First, Obama’s Social Justice Department announced they were filing suit against North Carolina over the state’s passage of HB2, which allows businesses to choose how they wish to operate their public bathrooms (as opposed to the Charlotte City Ordinance that required businesses to allow gender crossover in bathrooms and was the reason the state brought the bill up in the first place.)
Then, the Obama administration sent out a decree threatening public schools with loss of funding if they do not comply with his personal whim that men should be allowed in women’s bathrooms and locker rooms. A whim shared with, and no doubt celebrated by, perverts with nefarious plans who have spent years trying to get into women’s bathrooms and have built entire grotesque web industries around the video thus obtained. So much the easier, now.
North Carolina fought back with a countersuit. But they do not stand alone. Eight states, including North Carolina, have signed on to a brief to a federal appeals court asking to re-hear a case with a Virginia transgender student seeking to use the boys’ bathroom. The others are West Virginia, Arizona, Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, Utah, and Maine.
There are also declarations being made by Governors against the administration’s obvious overreach.
Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchison advises schools to disregard Obama’s decree altogether.
— Gov. Asa Hutchinson (@AsaHutchinson) May 13, 2016
Alabama‘s Attorney General issued his own statement.
“The Obama Administration’s new guidance document is just one more example of the kind of federal overreach that we have come to expect from this White House,” Strange said in the statement. “School bathroom use is an issue that should be decided by parents, teachers, and principals — not federal bureaucrats.
“The DOJ guidance document is also wrong on the law,” the statement continues. “Title IX allows schools to have separate facilities for separate sexes. The law says ‘sex,’ not gender identity.
“If the Obama Administration tries to enforce this absurd edict, I will work with other Attorneys General to challenge it,” Strange said.
The Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has likewise vowed to work with other states through the courts.
Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin made a statement on Facebook.
Missouri Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder made a blistering statement in support of North Carolina and condemning the Justice Department:
“By inserting itself into North Carolina’s lawmaking, the Obama Justice Department is overstepping its authority in violation of the 10th Amendment to the Constitution. It justifies this overreach by unilaterally redefining federal anti-discrimination law, something only Congress has the authority to do. We saw this on the local level in February when the full force of the federal government was unleashed in a similar way on the city of Ferguson. The DOJ told Ferguson officials they could either accept an agreement the city couldn’t afford, or fight a lawsuit they couldn’t afford.
“Now, Attorney General Loretta Lynch and her DOJ cohorts are threatening action against North Carolina for the ‘crime’ of wanting to designate bathrooms in government buildings for men and women only. If the federal government can force states to bow to its command over bathroom policies, is there anything beyond its reach?
“I stand with North Carolina and Gov. Pat McCrory, and I urge Attorney General Chris Koster and Gov. Jay Nixon to stand up to this federal abuse of power. This issue goes way beyond North Carolina. It is an unprecedented assault on our privacy and safety. This DOJ will not stop in North Carolina. By targeting this one state, the Obama Administration has telegraphed what it intends to do to any state that tries to protect its residents’ right to privacy against a far-left radical agenda.”
North Carolina, West Virginia, Arizona, Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, Utah, Maine, Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, and Alabama. That’s 12. So far.

Goatwhore are a blackened death metal band from the weather ravaged parts of New Orleans, Louisiana. Their newest release pulls many influences together and creates a pulverizing mix of extreme music tailor-made for aggressive people. "A Haunting Curse" blends traditional death metal with elements of black metal, and sludge into a melting pot of hard hitting music. Heavily drenched in southern influences and the full out emotions occurring from the aftermath of Katrina, one can hear the frustration and rage put into the music by this band. Speedy mid tempo riffing full of grooves hitting the right spot as the vocals tear away into undeniable catchiness, and pounding drumming cement the excellent song writing skills by the band.
A Haunting Curse is a straightforward anger filled romp against all that is decent. Full of sinister lyrics, sharp sadistic vocals, pounding drums playing slow to fast patterns, and thick thudding grooves holding the rhythm and setting the tone of the album. This is not low production black metal, nor is it Christian rock, what Goatwhore play is extreme metal. Furious tempo changes, plenty of blast beat's and lightning quick double bass take place with Ben's revolting vocal style holding center stage. It is very clear what side the boys of Goatwhore stand for, as the rage ridden music becomes uglier and darker as time progresses. Many influences are shown on their third disk as elements of Crowbar, Celtic Frost, and the blacker moments of venom are merged with Goatwhore's signature style of blasphemous metal form to make music fit for Satan himself. Their last CD "Funeral Dirge For A Rotting Sun" has nothing on this album as "A Haunting Curse" is filled with more aggression and hatred then ever shown in the past albums. - Clefable Oathbreaker McKinley
