The headlines in 2020 were all focused on the pandemic, day after day. A war with China, reports of territory surrendered to the intruders, a gang lord encountered, some of our greatest artists died…but all our attention remained on the dreaded virus. The healthcare apparatus was examined from various angles and moneys started pouring in to help the public health system fight the battle against infection. However, amidst all this, the number of patients who got ignored, the illnesses that were not treated and the plight of the regular pregnant mothers who couldn’t see their doctors remained unaddressed.
With the novel coronavirus taking a heavy toll on populations and economies, global health action has focussed on containing the spread of the virus and finding an effective vaccine for it at the earliest. While exposing glaring inadequacies in existing healthcare systems in developed and developing countries, the pandemic also threatens to wipe away years of progress made towards the control of deadly diseases such as AIDS, malaria, dengue and tuberculosis. Patients suffering from malnutrition, rare diseases, cancer and other acute and chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs), too, have suffered due to delays and disruptions in their treatment and diagnoses.
Much before the coronavirus pandemic began, India’s healthcare system was reeling under the triple burden of disease – control of infectious diseases, growing incidence of non-communicable diseases, as well as a rising wave of drug-resistant pathogens. India is now the third most-affected country due to the coronavirus outbreak globally, accounting for 8 lakh recorded cases and about 22,000 related deaths. Though India hurriedly enforced a harsh lockdown early on with severe human and economic costs, the government failed to utilise this time to improve the country’s health infrastructure or prepare for the impending surge in cases.
As hospital beds and staff were diverted to aid Covid-19 efforts, healthcare facilities closed down outpatient services and curtailed elective surgeries amidst fears of the disease spreading among health workers. In the absence of an official registry for NCDs, data on how the pandemic has affected such patients is largely unavailable. However, widespread reports of renal, cancer and cardiovascular patients being refused treatment and routine check-ups in the absence of covid-negative results have emerged. Shortages of medicines and diagnostics contributed to disruptions in healthcare for non-coronavirus patients. Those suffering from malaria, HIV, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus faced shortages of anti-retrovirals, hydroxychloroquine and Tocilizumab with the drugs’ increased use for coronavirus treatment.
The perceived risk of visiting a healthcare facility during the pandemic, as well as restrictions on movement during the lockdown caused an effective decline in preventive screening as well as routine management of diseases. With public health screenings and immunisation drives being postponed to avoid large gatherings, the fight against NCDs and vaccine-preventable diseases such as polio, measles, diphtheria, whooping cough and mumps was affected. Interventions targeted at controlling vector-borne diseases like chikungunya, malaria and dengue have also been delayed. With maternal and family planning healthcare services taking a hit, the risk of unwanted pregnancies, and maternal and infant deaths has increased substantially. The pandemic may take away two decades of India’s gains in maternal mortality rates.
Despite having the largest global burden of tuberculosis and more than TB 1,400 deaths a day, notifications for incidence of the disease across India dropped by over 50 percent since March, with an estimated 3,00,000 missed cases recorded until May 30. Fears over the rise of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis have been raised as restricted mobility and mass exodus of migrants interrupted the treatment regimen of several patients. Mobilisation of ventilators and beds for Covid-19 patients has affected critical TB patients as well.
The Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme (IDSP), India’s central disease monitoring network operating under the National Centre for Disease Control, has seen a steep decline in the number of reported outbreaks, as compared to previous years. While officials attributed this to behavioural changes such as handwashing and physical distancing that have helped prevent the spread of communicable diseases, the possibility of underreporting as a reason for the sudden dip cannot be overruled. Curiously, IDSP’s weekly updates for the period since the twelfth week of 2020 have not been uploaded on the official website.
Even as telemedicine and online consultations can help reduce the burden on healthcare workers, a steady supply of PPE gear and testing kits must be ensured for their safety. Making pre-surgery Covid tests mandatory will also go a long way in ensuring the safety of patients and healthcare workers. More beds and ventilators must be made available for non-coronavirus patients. As the season for vector-borne disease outbreaks looms, public awareness regarding simple and effective ways of disease prevention like use of mosquito repellents and nets needs to be generated. The IDSP must continue to publish weekly updates to help keep a check on future disease outbreaks.
Immunisation, public health screening, family planning and other RMNCH programmes should be resumed fully with social distancing and other safety protocol in place. Additionally, national healthcare services provided to tuberculosis and HIV patients must continue without disruptions. Measures like dual testing for Covid and TB will also help during these times.
To put things in perspective, the 2014-16 Ebola virus epidemic that ravaged West Africa had caused a 50 percent reduction in access to healthcare at the time. This resulted in an additional 10,000 people dying of TB, Malaria and HIV during the epidemic. While it goes without saying that efforts must be stepped up to contain the coronavirus outbreak in the country, it would be deplorable to do so at the expense of India’s non-Covid patients.

Ok, now that you have recovered from shock- one of the rights motorcyclists are interested in is the right to ride without penalty It's not in the Bill of Rights, but the average motorcyclist is in favor. There are federal regulations that make it possible for health care insurers to deny motorcyclists coverage.
The following press release from the American Motorcycle Association sums it up (note: I assume Mr. Burgess is a miserable creep, and this is the only thing he has ever done for his constitutents)
U.S. Representative Michael Burgess (R-TX-26) recently introduced H.R. 2793, "The HIPAA Recreational Injury Technical Correction Act." A similar measure obtained 177 bipartisan cosponsors last Congress.
H.R. 2793 aims at ending health care discrimination for individuals participating in legal transportation and recreational activities-activities like motorcycling, snowmobiling, horseback riding, and all-terrain vehicle riding.
This legislation addresses a loophole caused by a Department of Health and Human Services' rule making it possible for health care benefits to be denied to those who are injured while participating in these activities.
"The development of this bill could not have been possible without bipartisan congressional support and the hard work of the American Motorcyclist Association," stated Congressman Burgess. "I look forward to working alongside the AMA to get this legislation passed into law."
Burgess was joined by Congressman Ted Strickland (D-OH-6) in introducing the House legislation.
Congressman Strickland said, "It's shameful to allow health insurers to discriminate against individuals who take part in perfectly legal modes of transportation, hobbies or activities. According to this rule, a person injured while drinking and driving would be covered by their health insurance, but an individual who falls from a motorcycle may not. It just makes no sense."
On August 21, 1996 an important opportunity arose when President Clinton signed the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), prohibiting employers from denying health care coverage based on a worker's pre-existing medical conditions or participation in legal activities, such as motorcycling.
In 2001, the Department of Health and Human Services released the final rules that would govern the HIPAA law. The rules recognize that employers cannot refuse health care coverage to an employee on the basis of their participation in a recognized legal activity. However, the benefits can be denied for injuries sustained in connection with those activities. Therefore, you were guaranteed the right to health care coverage but not guaranteed any benefits in return for your monthly payments.
The AMA is urging all motorcyclists to notify their Representatives and tell them to co-sponsor and support H.R. 2793, "The HIPAA Recreational Injury Technical Correction Act."

'I Still Feel Him:' Clyde Guevara's Debut Memorializes His Brother's Death
Clyde Ellison grew up in a part of Brooklyn called Red Hook, and even though it was a rough, economically disadvantaged neighborhood, he says the people he knew there had a wealth of talent and ingenuity. Ellison himself is proof of that. He's in his early 30s now and lives in Los Angeles as a rapper, performing under the stage name Clyde Guevara. And although he's moved across the country, his lyrics often grapple with the issues in his home community "like being a gangster," he says. "Being tough. It's really like the wilderness."
Ellison's debut album freeJAH was released on July 20, the second anniversary of his younger brother Jah's death. Jah (short for Jahiem) was killed just seven months after serving five years in prison.
Jah was 18 when he went to prison. In the months that followed his brother's release, Ellison did his best to counsel Jah to find his own path in life and focus on providing for his son. "He had his son right before he went to jail and before he went in, he didn't really have a lot of time to be a father," he says. "But when he came home, he was a great father."
Things were starting to turn around for Jah, then 23. Around the time he was killed, he had told Ellison he had a job interview lined up.
"I went upstairs for a few seconds and I heard the shots," Ellison remembers. "It happened in front of his son."
During the time Jah was behind bars, Ellison released only a few songs. But after Jah died, Ellison says he started working harder to turn their shared dream of hip-hop stardom into a reality.
"I kept thinking about the five years that I felt like I wasted the time I had," he says. "I wish I had been taking my music career more serious than I did at that time because he told me that if I didn't make it then he wouldn't be s****."
Now, he's finally finished his freeJAH.
"I don't like to say, 'RIP Jah' because I don't believe he's dead," Ellison says. "I mean, in this life cycle, yeah, but the energy is still here, and I still feel him. I like to say 'Free Jah'."

In this historical moment, where digitalisation was driven by a disease which reminds us of very old times, Leonardo organised its first online event for journalists, part of its first virtual exhibition dedicated to Naval Security in the Middle East.
The webinar, entitled Overview on Leonardo’s Naval and Underwater defense systems and held on 8 July, provided details on specific defense systems part of Leonardo’s offer, as a leading company in the design and supply of systems and products for naval and maritime defense and for coastal surveillance. Supported by images and videos, the speaker Marco Fani, Leonardo’s Naval and Underwater Defense Systems Business Development, highlighted the company’s ability to meet customer needs and to face the most challenging scenarios and environments.
The webinar focused on the capabilities and technical aspects of some of the flagship products of Leonardo’s portfolio for the naval and underwater sector, which also includes anti-torpedo defence systems. In this field, Leonardo offers solutions including warning sub-systems, such as the towed array sonar Black Snake, which detect an attacking torpedo, and reaction sub-systems, like the C310, able of launching a salvo of countermeasures constituted by decoys and jammers.
In the underwater systems, Leonardo recently added to its portfolio the Black Scorpion, a torpedo with a small size (5”) designed to support the contact classification process with minimum cost and maximum flexibility and effectiveness. The product is able to cope with increasingly complex international scenarios and with different types of threats, including “midget” mini-submarines. Moreover, it can be launched from helicopters, drones, submarines and fast in shore attack crafts.
The wide range of Leonardo’s naval defence system include Marlin 40,an extremely competitive product on the market and among the most advanced 40mm naval systems, thanks to its extremely low mass, small dimension, easy installation (no deck penetration required) and modern, fully digital advanced technology, and the 76/62 Super Rapid (SR) gun mount. It is a light weight, rapid-fire naval gun providing unrivalled performance and flexibility in any air defence and anti-surface role, particularly in anti-missile role. The multi-role purpose of the76/62SR can be enhanced by the multi-feeding kit which allows the selection of different kinds of ammunition regardless of its position inside the magazine. The 76/62 SR naval gun has maintained its leadership on the market thanks to a series of upgrading kits developed over the time, such as Strales kit and Vulcano kit that strengthens its capabilities.
Leonardo’s new generation Weapon Control System NA-30SMK2 allows controlling up to three 76/62SR against conventional and asymmetric air/surface threats with a reduced reaction time.The 127/64 LW Vulcano is currently the most modern performing gun in its market sector, and the only one in the world able to fire the new Vulcano 127mm Guided Long Range (GLR) ammunition, the new Vulcano Ballistic Extended Range (BER) ammunition and the new Leonardo 4AP fuse for conventional ammunition. Leonardo’s Automatic Ammunition Handling System (AAHS) solution allows the gun loading also during firing and without any crew assistance.
With more than 30 naval vessels equipped and integrated by Leonardo, Middle East is already an operative scenario for some of these technologies, which help regional Navies in secure their maritime national boarder and the international goods traffic thanks to anti-piracy activities.
The online press briefing Overview on Leonardo’s naval and underwater defense systems was part of Leonardo Naval Defense for the Middle East. A virtual experience, the company’s first virtual exhibition held from July 6th to 12th. Thanks to a virtual stand which is tailored for different sectors and geographies, Leonardo is aiming to maintain its marketing focus on its products and platforms while providing a virtual experience in a safe and continuous way.

OMV system that never came to fruition still costing taxpayers money
BATON ROUGE - Nearly a decade after state officials pulled the plug on a failed system that was supposed to streamline things at the Office of Motor Vehicles, taxpayers are still on the hook for it.
Five years ago, the WBRZ Investigative Unit exposed contracts where the state spent at least $66 million on the NGMV or Next Generation of Motor Vehicles System that was supposed to link up the system to allow users to renew driver's licenses and vehicle registration.
"We were well into it, and there was nothing to show for it, so I was not going to spend another dollar on a project that was not producing any results," former Colonel of State Police Mike Edmonson said in 2015.
In 2008, Edmonson ditched the project. The case is now tied up in court, where a judge ruled Unisys was owed money for work that was underway when the contract was terminated.
As part of the strategic plan for 2020, the state is trying to move away from the Unisys system. It says that the system is obsolete and charges high maintenance fees.
Courts ruled Unisys was owed about $1.3 million from work that was being done at the time the contract was canceled. That money has not been paid.
The judge ruled interest could be charged for each day it's not paid.

Lessons in Chemistry - by Bonnie Garmus
The novel’s ending delivers a surprise–the characters’ research had been funded by her partner’s biological mother. At her partner’s funeral, many characters appeared, including the mother, a pen pal, and the dog. It is particularly inspiring to note that the author Bonnie Garmus released this debut novel at age 65.
Here are some text that I highlighted in the book:
She sat silently, weighing his words. They made annoying sense in a terribly unfair way.
That had to be a special brand of bravery, for a child to endure the worst, and despite every law in the universe and all evidence to the contrary, decide the next day might be better.
“What do you mean?” “I mean,” he said, leaning forward, “that I suspect you were born good but went bad. Rotted,” he said, “through a series of bad choices. Are you familiar with the idea that beauty comes from within?” “Yes.” “Well, your insides match your outward ugliness.” Calvin touched his swollen knuckles, trying not to cry.
Just like after her brother’s suicide and Meyers’s attack, she could not cry. An army of tears lay just behind her eyes, but they refused to decamp. It was as if the wind had been knocked out of her: no matter how many deep breaths she took her lungs refused to fill.
Everywhere they walked, even in the drabbest of neighborhoods, blooms poked their way up between sidewalk cracks and flower beds, shouting and boasting and calling attention to themselves, mingling their scents in hopes of creating complex perfumes. And there they were in the thick of it, the only living dead things.
Humans were strange, Six-Thirty thought, the way they constantly battled dirt in their aboveground world, but after death willingly entombed themselves in it. At the funeral, he couldn’t believe the amount of dirt needed to cover Calvin’s coffin, and when he saw the size of the shovel, he’d wondered if he should offer the help of his back legs to fill the hole. And now dirt was again the issue, but in the wrong direction. Every last trace of Calvin had been scrubbed away. He watched as she stood in the middle of the room, her face blank with shock.
The only real issue with these people, besides the occasional hygiene challenge, was that they always seemed to embrace failure as a positive outcome. “I have not failed,” they’d endlessly quote Edison, “I’ve just found ten thousand ways that won’t work.” Which may be an acceptable thing to say in science but is absolutely the wrong thing to say to a roomful of investors looking for an immediate, high-ticket, chronic treatment for cancer. God save them from actual cures. Much harder to make money off someone who doesn’t have a problem anymore.
Idiots make it into every company. They tend to interview well.
“What I know,” she said, pushing a stray hair away from her forehead, “is that Calvin and I did not want to have children. I also know that we took every precaution to ensure that outcome. This pregnancy is a failure of contraception, not morality. It’s also none of your business.”
He’d once heard someone say it was important to be reminded of one’s failures, but he didn’t know why. Failures, by their very nature, had a way of being unforgettable.
She’d lost her job, her research, bladder control, a clear view of her toes, restful sleep, normal skin, a pain-free back, not to mention all the little assorted freedoms everyone else who is not pregnant takes for granted—like being able to fit behind a steering wheel. The only thing she’d gained? Weight.
Yes. Not liking one’s mother from the very start was entirely possible. Beyond that, there was the repetitiveness—the feeding, the bathing, the changing, the calming, the wiping, the burping, the soothing, the pacing; in short, the volume. Many things were repetitive—erging, metronomes, fireworks—but all of those things usually ended within an hour. This could go on for years. And when the baby slept, which was never, there was still more work to be done: laundry, bottle prep, sanitizing, meals—plus the constant rereading of Dr. Spock’s The Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care. There was so much to do she couldn’t even make a to-do list because making a list was just one more thing to do. Plus, she still had all of her other work to do.
Because while stupid people may not know they’re stupid because they’re stupid, surely unattractive people must know they’re unattractive because of mirrors.
Neither of them had wanted children, and Elizabeth still fervently believed that no woman should be forced to have a baby. Yet here she was, a single mother, the lead scientist on what had to be the most unscientific experiment of all time: the raising of another human being. Every day she found parenthood like taking a test for which she had not studied. The questions were daunting and there wasn’t nearly enough multiple choice. Occasionally she woke up damp with sweat, having imagined a knock at the door and some sort of authority figure with an empty baby-sized basket saying, “We’ve just reviewed your last parental performance report and there’s really no nice way to put this. You’re fired.”
wasn’t that the very definition of life? Constant adaptations brought about by a series of never-ending mistakes?
But as the years wore on, he began to feel like he was the prisoner permanently assigned to digging the escape tunnel. At the end of the day, as the other prisoners scrambled over him to freedom, he stayed behind with the spoon.
Wakely had written in the first letter. “Specifically, I wanted to ask: Don’t you think it’s possible to believe in both God and science?” “Sure,” Calvin had written back. “It’s called intellectual dishonesty.”
“There’s nothing average about the average housewife,” she corrected.
“You were saying about circadian rhythms.” “Right,” he said, “As you well know, humans are biologically programmed to sleep twice a day— a siesta in the afternoon, then eight hours of sleep at night.”
The children’s shows are key here: they’re designed to electronically babysit children so the mother has a chance to recuperate before her next act.
More like climbing a mountain. Something you felt good about, but only after it was over.
He sighed inwardly. The problem with being a minister was how many times a day he had to lie. This was because people needed constant reassurance that things were okay or were going to be okay instead of the more obvious reality that things were bad and were only going to get worse. He’d been officiating a funeral just last week—one of his congregants had died of lung cancer—and his message to the family, all of whom also smoked like chimneys, was that the man had died, not because of his four-pack-a-day habit, but because God needed him. The family, each inhaling deeply, thanked him for his wisdom.
Several women in the studio audience nodded vigorously.
In 1960, people did not go on television and say they didn’t believe in God and expect to be on television much longer. As proof, Walter’s phone was soon filled with threats from sponsors and viewers who wanted Elizabeth Zott fired, jailed, and/or stoned to death. The latter came from self-proclaimed people of God—the same God that preached tolerance and forgiveness.
She had the kind of hair that had once been blond but was slowly surrendering to age.
“It’s nice to finally put a face to the name.”
It was as if all the air had been sucked out of the room. Elizabeth stared at Avery Parker, uncertain how to proceed.

text: Happy New Year peeps! I used to be a resolutions kind of person. Not anymore! Year after year of not sticking with everything on the overwhelming to do list, taught me that filling my brain with the bazillion things I want to achieve or change in the next 12 months was useless. I’m happy to say I’m a ‘continue on the journey’ type of person. My life is NOW. I am constantly growing, learning and becoming more of who I really am, year in and year out. That never stops, that goes on as life goes on and that works so much better for me. Life continues. Things are added and subtracted, there are breakthroughs, heartbreaks, twists and turns, lessons are learned, mistakes are made, healing takes place, goals are set and achieved, plans move forward, celebrations happen, relationships blossom and change, people leave and come into this world and that’s the adventure of life, isn’t it? The great thing I realize is that regardless of where I am in my life, there are unlimited possibilities waiting for me to expand into at ALL times. As much as I’ve experienced, there’s more for me to experience. As happy and thankful as I am, there are higher levels of happiness to reach and more to be thankful for. As much as I’ve loved (and I’ve loved a lot), there’s more love for me to express. As free as I feel, there’s more freedom for me uncover. As much as I’ve given, there are deeper levels of my own generosity to tap into. This year and always, I remember my hearts intentions for my life and I encourage you to remember yours.

Deputy President William Ruto’s presidential running mate, Rigathi Gachagua, and Raila Odinga’s running mate Martha Karua have personal fortunes of Ksh.800 million and Ksh.150 million respectively.
The two running mates made the disclosures during the deputy presidential debate held at the Catholic University of East Africa on Tuesday.
Rigathi further explained that out of the Kshs.800 million, Kshs 200 million has been frozen and he hopes that one-day justice will be served so that he can finish the house project.
Martha and Gachagua stated that the allegations that have been made on cases to do with corruption have not been proved and therefore remain accusations.
Martha further stated that he had dared the necessary forces to investigate her wealth and acquired land to ascertain that she only has land after his father, and where he stays in Nairobi.
“I think just around Ksh.150 million and this is because the Ksh.56 million I had declared in 2013 has appreciated because of inflation. I haven’t had any new properties. I am not thirsty for land. Karua stated.
She went on to state that asset declarations of public officials are a powerful tool that can be used to prevent corruption and detect illicit enrichment among corrupt government officials.

This show was based on the famous SECOND CITY acting/comedy troupe touting FRED WILLARD and others. The shows strength was the almost "daffy" skits like COUNT FLOYDS late night movie, the dave thomas richard harris skit, and the MACKENZIE BROTHERS..not to mention the rip on GIVE EM HELL HARRY and JAMES WHITMORE. The original series ran starting in 1978, and was original to say the least, it's best attribute was that the WHOLE show was funny and not lopsided like SNL (where the first half is a gas and the last half sucks). No stupid skits like some of the character driven "we want to make a movie off of them" routines. The writing was ingenious and humorous. This is sometimes seen in syndication in smaller USA markets and COMEDY CENTRAL.
Finally SCTV on DVD. The first 5 DVD's released contain the first 9
episodes from the 90 minute series on NBC. Thirteen and one half hours.
There are more to come. HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mine arrived today. Already I have watched the first three episodes. Talk about holding up. After 23 years, these shows are just as funny and refreshing as they were in 1981. In fact, I think I laughed harder today then I did a long time ago. SCTV never took cheap shots or the easy way. Their sketches had wit, charm, and intelligence. They never played down to the viewers. For example, I remember their version of T S Eliot's Murder in the Cathedral. Except they set it around a space shot at Cape Canaveral. One of my sons and I once tried to list all the characters each person played. Try it yourself. You may never get to the end. I could go on and on, but the time I spend writing this is keeping me away from the next episode.
I'm glad my Spam blocker let the e-mail notice for these DVD's from Amazon come through. I bought 6 sets. One for me and one for each of my grown offspring. When they were little I let them stay up late on Friday nights for SCTV. Probably the best thing I ever did for them.
John Candy played YOSH Schmenge and Eugene Levy played STAN Schmenge.
The names are reversed in your listings.
Here is a quote from the The New York Times Movies Review of The Last Polka: The Last Polka 1984 - Parody/Spoof/Satire/Mockumentary/Showbiz Comedy
Rating: NR (Suitable for Children) Running Time: 54 minutes
Directed by: John Blanchard
PLOT DESCRIPTION This HBO comedy special is a send-up of Martin Scorsese's The Last Waltz. Scorsese's film, it will be recalled, recorded the final concert of the rock group The Band. Polka deals with the rise and fall of that fabulous Lutonian twosome, the Schmenge Brothers. John Candy is Yosh Schmenge, and Eugene Levy is Stan Schmenge. "And ve are...der Happy Vanderers."
Here is the URL:
Toronto's comedy scene in the 1970s had become intensely vibrant. So
great that the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) once devoted the
awkward Saturday night half-hour+ time slot following "Hockey Night In
Canada" and preceding national news, to the spirit of what would one
day become the SCTV phenomenon.
Speaking of which, IF anyone out there has a video copy of their hilarious version of the 1958 film, "Queen Of Outer Space", starring Paul Birch, LET ME KNOW! I remember Eugene Levy's voice and those of others dubbed over the actual soundtrack. This was the predecessor to the brilliant Mystery Science Theatre 3000! The spoof had to be just about the most brilliant, if not the funniest, thing I had seen to that point in my young life - it played some time in the mid to late 1970s. I've been told by reliable sources the show was called "Stay Tuned."
It seems John Candy was the man NBC was originally interested in to form a new sketch comedy series, but this generous and kind giant invited his friends and colleagues from 1970s Toronto Second City to be involved and we comedy aficionados can be thankful he did. The result was the most intelligent, creative and funny television series on the North American continent.
At this point in time, comedy in Canada had finally become comparable to anywhere in the world. For the writing/performing ensemble on "SCTV Network 90," they had reached the apex of brilliance during this time. Most of the cast went on to greater fame in later projects.
The series raised the confidence for Canadians who pursued comedy as a career and now the nation can boast many top notch domestic comedy series. Comedy is now an industry in which Canadians rival the best in the world and the development of SCTV Network 90 was an important part of that process.
Packed with bonus features and lots of great comedy, the five-disc DVD is
amazing, albeit over-priced at a retail value of $89.99. Who can afford
THAT? Luckily I got a discount through Wal-Mart's website.
SCTV remains as poignant and funny as it was when it first aired during the '70s on local Canadian television stations. It was in 1981 when the show moved to NBC, featuring extended 90-minute episodes. These are largely considered to be the best by the fans and members of the cast.
To say that the show relied solely on John Candy for success is unfair, although partly true. First billed, arguably the greatest actor on the show, Candy's legacy remains a stirring picture of loneliness -- he turned down roles on SNL, citing devotion to fellow SCTV pals. Incidentally a few of them, most notably Martin Short, did indeed make the move to SNL where their careers hit a rock in the road. I never enjoyed Short on SNL although he is hilarious here. Dave Thomas, who recently turned up in the horrendous BEETHOVEN'S 5TH (please, Universal, no more!) is funny as are Flaherty, Levy and Moranis. If you're not familiar with these actors, you'll probably notice their faces as you watch - Flaherty was in BACK TO THE FUTURE PART II, Levy was Jim's Dad in AMERICAN PIE, and Moranis was in HONEY I SHRUNK THE KIDS.
Overall this DVD set, which Conan O'Brien claims very well may be the funniest you will ever own, and Ben Stiller raves about in a dedication pamphlet included in the DVD, is a good place to start if you're new to the world of SCTV and have only heard of it recently - or if, like me, you've been waiting forever for them to (finally) release it on DVD!
P.S. If you're a fan of John Candy, you probably know that he didn't have a "great" film career, although under the supervision of John Hughes (his De Niro/Scorsese-esque collaborator) he made what is arguably the funniest comedy of the '80s, and my favorite of all time, PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES, widely considered to be one of the best comedies ever made, adored by many, featured on Roger Ebert's great movies list, boasting 100% positive reviews on RottenTomatoes.com with over 20 reviews (average rating of 8.2/10 - extraordinary!) and which was yet again featured on AFI's list of 100 great comedies. I've never met a single person who dislikes SCTV or PLANES...
Check them both out if you want a good laugh and a good time.
Sorry to pose the question, since I have to say I don't know myself. This
was easily the cleverest show I have seen. And it's the only TV comedy I
know that is sometimes really fascinating.
In the episode where the broadcast is jammed by the Soviets, I found that along with the funny premise and its very funny execution (the stroboscopic image, the "new mini-cam", "Uzbeks"), there was a genuinely creepy vision of media under state control.
But it would give entirely the wrong impression to suggest that the show was ever preachy, even though it belittled the socially irresponsible from time to time. It was always exuberant fun.
Just so everyone understands, this was the series made for NBC, not the original lower-budget (but very good) years, nor the following year on Cinemax, which I didn't see.
Unfortunately I haven't seen any of them in over ten years. This is one of the very few things I would own on DVD if it were available.
"Battle of the PBS Stars", "Chariots of Eggs", Guy Caballero forgetting to stay in his chair, the frightening lust of Edith Prickly, and of course "Great White North". They deserve to be preserved.
When NBC hired the producers and cast members of "Second City Television" for "SCTV Network 90," they provided them with a larger budget and longer programming time than the original show had. As a result, the performers/writers elaborated on the show's original premise of a cheap TV station. Established characters like Joe Flaherty's Guy Caballero and Andrea Martin's Edith Prickley were deepened with more quirks that often thematically unified the sketches, such as an episode when Guy's job as station owner is threatened when he forges a check. The sketches became lengthier and more layered, exploring further possibilities in television satire, such as a "Godfather" parody likening TV executives to mob bosses. And SCTV still maintained its comic bite, thanks to both the writing and the performers. The humor remained intelligent and insightful and unlike SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE never became self-consciously hip or stale. SCTV 90 provided some of the greatest TV comedy ever, the like which we may never see again.
It's so darned funny! Who couldn't love "I Was A Teenage Communist"?
There are millions of fans I suppose, but I felt like it was like an
inside joke I shared with the cast. Silly, nonsensical, insane,
insanely funny, comedy as high art.
Dave Thomas playing Bob Hope as if he were Bob Hope in a parallel universe on parole with a shiv tucked in his pants.
There was something dangerous about that show. Early on "Saturday Night Live" had an air of danger. As if I was watching something that threatened to spin loose and leave large bloody gashes in the audience. Later SCTV struck me in similar way. The difference was I was getting older and my sense of humor became sardonic.
I just finished watching Season 3 of SCTV, and have to say that show was truly inspired. Just goes to show the power of giving creative control to the actors themselves, and allowing them to develop their characters and ideas as a group. That, and I'm amazed by how ambitious this show was. The time-slot was actually very long for a comedy show, and it's remarkable that they could come up with so much great material. If you remember the era this was created in and the pop-culture that goes along with it, this is a real treat. And, for film buffs that weren't yet born when the show first aired, you're sure to catch the references to the landmark films and TV shows of the time that you may have seen or collected. As a fan of pop-culture and satirical comedy, this series is a real gem. Highly recommended.
In an alternate universe, SCTV is still on the air after 30 years, and
SNL was cancelled after the 1979 season. And the people living in that
alternate universe are both much happier and better off than we will
SCTV is simply one of the greatest television programs ever. Surreal, topical, and laugh out loud funny, it simply must be experienced to be believed. And the performers were easily the most talented bunch ever to work on a television comedy. Now an entirely new generation can behold and enjoy this gem.
Thank God for DVD!

An Epic of Awesome Power from bestselling author Terry Goodkind
Kahlan has at last gained the one goal she had always thought was beyond her grasp ... love. Against all odds, the ancient bonds of secret oaths, and the dark talents of men long dead, Richard has won her heart.
Amid sudden and disastrous events, Richard's life is called due to satisfy those treacherous oaths. To save his life, Kahlan must forsake Richard's love and cast him into the chains of slavery, knowing there could be no sin worse than such a betrayal.
Richard is determined to unlock the secrets bound in the magic of ancient oaths and to again be free. Kahlan, alone with the terrible truth of what she has done, must set about altering the course of a world thrown into war. But even that may be easier than ever winning back the heart of the only man she will ever love.
War, suffering, torture, and deceit lie in their paths, and nothing will save them from a destiny of violent death, unless their courage and faith are joined with luck and they find the elusive...Stone of Tears.

Descending into darkness, about to be overwhelmed by evil, those people still free are powerless to stop the coming dawn of a savage new world, while Richard faces the guilt of knowing that he must let it happen. Alone, he must bear the weight of a sin he dare not confess to the one person he loves...and has lost. Join Richard and Kahlan in the concluding novel of one of the most remarkable and memorable journeys ever written. It started with one rule, and will end with the rule of all rules, the rule unwritten, the rule unspoken since the dawn of history. When next the sun rises, the world will be forever changed.

As Zedd tries to figure out how to destroy the sinister device, the machine issues a cataclysmic omen involving Richard and Kahlan, foretelling an impending event beyond anyone's ability to stop.
As catastrophe approaches, the machine then reveals that it is within its power to withdraw the omen...in exchange for an impossible demand.

Terry Goodkind returns to the lives of Richard Rahl and Kahlan Amnell--in The Third Kingdom, the direct sequel to his #1 New York Times bestseller The Omen Machine.
Richard saw the point of a sword blade sticking out from between the man's shoulder blades. He spun back toward Richard after throwing the woman out the opening, ready to attack. It seemed impossible, but the man looked unaffected by the blade that had impaled him through the chest. It was then, in the weak light from the fire pit off to the side, that Richard got his first good look at the killer. Three knives were buried up to their brass cross-guards in the man's chest. Only the handles were showing. Richard saw, too, the broken end of a sword blade jutting out from the center of the man's chest. The point of that same blade stuck out from the man's back. Richard recognized the knife handles. All three were the style carried by the men of the First File. He looked from those blades that should have killed the big man, up into his face. That was when he realized the true horror of the situation, and the reason for the unbearable stench of death.

Shroud of Eternity picks up where Terry Goodkind's New York Times bestseller Death's Mistress left off, promising a thrilling brew of bloodshed, sex, deception, and sorcery.
The formidable sorceress Nicci and her companions--the newly powerless Nathan and the youthful Bannon--set out on another quest after driving ruthless Norukai slavers out of Renda Bay. Their mission: restore Nathan's magic and, for Nicci, save the world.
Guided by the witch-woman Red's mysterious prophecy, the trio makes their way south of Kol Adair towards a wondrous city shrouded behind time, Ildakar. But the grotesque omens on their path to Nathan's salvation--severed Norukai heads on pikes, a genetically modified monster, and a petrified army of half a million--are just a taste of the unimaginable horrors that await within the Shroud of Eternity.

I had a request from Princess the other night for spaghetti with meatballs. So I whipped her up some for her supper, you see it isn't very often she requests a meal. Princess is a very picky eater and when she does eat it is usually pasta.
My spaghetti is pretty simply
1/2 lb of ground beef, browned
3/4 bottle of store bought sauce (I used Sweet Tomato and Basil)
Green pepper, chopped
Onion, chopped fine
Spaghetti, Whole Wheat, enough to make 6 servings.
I add the veggies to the browned meat and soften them a bit. Then add the sauce. Cook the spaghetti noodles as per the package. Drain and return to pot then pour over the meat/ sauce mixture. Then serve.
Watched Princess and Monkey eat it up.
There was enough leftover for the next day. So I tried to come up with an different take on the spaghetti so I thought I had heard of spaghetti pie once while I was watching David Rocco's La Dolce Vita on the Food Network Canada but I couldn't remember all the ingredients. So I did a search on the internet and nothing was quick enough for my family.
So I took various different recipes and came up with one that was a hit with my Italian hubby. Here it is:
1 tbsp oil heated over medium heat in a large skillet
Add the leftover spaghetti and start warming up the leftover.
Whisk together 4 large eggs, 3/4 cup of milk, 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese, salt and pepper to taste, until well blended.
Pour over the spaghetti in the skillet and be sure to cover all of the spaghetti. Cook for 8 minutes or until the underside is brown. Using a large plate flip the skillet and spaghetti on to the plate. then flip it back on the uncooked side into the skillet. Cook for 8 minutes more or until brown. Pour onto the plate you used to flip it and serve.
I then grated some mozzarella cheese onto to the spaghetti pie and garnish with parley.
I hope everyone enjoys it, I know we did. It was delish!!!
I didn't take a picture of it but will the next time I cook it. I forgot and by the time I remembered it was all gone...hubby ate it (this from somebody who doesn't care for pasta after years eating it everyday growing up)
Ciao for now,

I organised a dinner with Pepper Potts, Louie dePalma, and Winifred to go to Jano and try their Festival menu. I really like Jano and when I heard that they were the winners of the Festival Dish Award and also got a Hat at the 2016 Cuisine BZ Good Food Awards. I had to go back and also try their Festival dish.
Zany Zeus Organic Feta
Zany Zeus feta with Capital Produce parsnips and pears, and The Nut Shop walnuts
This was a very nice dish. I really liked the Feta cream that was in the middle of the plate. It was my star of the dish. The log was a terrine made of parsnips and pears with a walnut moose at the top. This dish was very nice and a nice starter.
Capital Produce Red Cabbage
Red cabbage with Commonsense Organics prunes, On Trays parmesan and The Nut Shop hazelnuts
This dish was presented very well. Before the dish came we received three different types of glassware with different liquids in it. When it arrived you then poured different amounts of liquids into the glasses and it changed colour. It was meant to be a homage to the Bucket Fountain in Cuba Street.
On the dish was a prune inspired bottom with a cabbage fondant. Around the dish was a prune skin. Inside was cabbage with roasted hazelnuts and a parmesan cream and parmesan on top.The liquid that you poured into the dish was a vinegar and cabbage juice. Overall this was a very beautiful dish and something I have never tried before.
Whittakers 72% Ghana
Whittaker’s chocolate, chocolate, chocolate!
This dish was unbelievable This dish was made of chocolate, chocolate and chocolate. The chocolate they used was Whittaker’s 72% dark chocolate. There was a chocolate sorbet, chocolate slice/brownie, chocolate sauce, and a chocolate moose covered in chocolate. This dish was not rich was not sweet and was just so good.
This Festive menu was very nice. I also got to try the Salmon which was beautifully cooked and seasoned with mussel juice and the Main of Beef was also outstanding. Overall again, I was impressed with this place and can see why Jano is receiving all these accolades. I also heard that they will try keep the cabbage dish on their menu for a bit longer after Wellington on a Plate. So you still have time to try it.

LONDON (Reuters) -West Ham United scored early but were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Sunday.
The Hammers remained ninth in the standings, on 21 points, as they failed to take advantage of Brighton & Hove Albion's 3-2 defeat by Chelsea, while Palace moved up to 12th on 16 points.
Palace came into the game on the back of two defeats, and will be happy to come away from this one with a point.
"We've stopped the bleeding. When you go on a run of successive losses, just a point is massive in this league," Palace defender Marc Guehi said.
"There are so many good teams, and it's quite competitive around us. Today was a good point, and it's important that we move on and build on this."
West Ham took the lead in the 13th minute when James Ward-Prowse played a pass out wide to Vladimir Coufal on the right who cut it back to Mohammed Kudus in the area and his first time shot found the bottom corner via a small deflection.
"It is always good to score early on in the game," Kudus said. "It gives the team momentum and energy."
Palace's equaliser came in the 53rd minute with West Ham looking to play it out from the back, but a stray pass from Konstantinos Mavropanos was picked up by Odsonne Edouard who raced into the box and fired his shot into the far corner.
It made up for his miss just a minute earlier when Guehi met a free kick into the area and played the ball across goal, but Edouard couldn't get his head to it and Ward-Prowse, just behind him, headed it over for a corner.
The visitors struggled to create any clear-cut chances in the first half after falling behind, but with West Ham failing to build on their early lead, Palace went in at the break still very much in the game.
West Ham did have the ball in the net in the first minute of the second half, but Tomas Soucek, who took a swing at a cross from Kudus without touching the ball, was in an offside position.
The home side had a great chance to retake the lead in the 64th minute when Lucas Paqueta sent a dangerous ball into the box but an unmarked Emerson at the back post hit his volley from close range over the bar.
West Ham had won their last two league games, but in a game with few chances they were forced to settle for a point at home.
"In games like this, we expect more from ourselves. If we don't get three points, at least we have to get a point," Kudus said.
"When there are not many chances, we need to be compact and defend better to win the game with just one goal."
The home side finished stronger and had chances late on to take all three points, but Palace held out for a well-earned draw.

Each drop so precious we know
Life cannot exist with water
The earth is mostly water
We are mostly water
The red tulips in the clear glass vase drank all their water in one night.
In the morning they were all completely drooping down the outside of the vase. Seemingly dead.
But then, the vase re-filled, fresh clean water. By the evening the tulips stood strong again, dancing their flowing dance of curvaceous stems reaching out for the light of the room now. Opening slowly but surely, allowing all to see the inner beauty as well as the outer. THIS is what happens when we remain nourished and nurtured. We are able to replenish and restore. To open and be vulnerable. To live to dance to allow our beauty to be exposed to the light.
I bless these red healing tulips
I bless the water and send strong prayers for the skies to open and send down the rains this winter for the healing of the earth and our selves.

An important new initiative is getting under way that forms part of the CAA’s on-going consumer and travel trade awareness and compliance work
An important new initiative is getting under way that forms part of the CAA’s on-going consumer and travel trade awareness and compliance work.
This initiative aims to focus on consumers and travel agents in the provincial metropolitan areas and we are particularly interested at looking at those that serve the British Asian community. This is because some of these travel agents may not be fully aware of the changes to the ATOL scheme last year, and we have seen situations where consumers have lost out in recent failures because some travel agents have not booked customers correctly.
The CAA’s initiative is a joint venture with local authorities’ Trading Standards and our pilot has just started in the city of Leicester which comprises of two phases. The first is a consumer campaign at local community level so that people know what to ask for when booking flights, and how to check they are covered.
To give you a flavour of the consumer campaign we have included examples of the material that is being distributed to local communities and the media.
The second phase is to contact travel agents in the area explaining the importance of protecting consumers, how the ATOL scheme works and an easy steps guide to check that they are trading correctly. This will be followed up by visits to travel agents in the area.
Once the pilot is complete further projects will be planned for other cities during 2014.

Contemporary Christian music band Sidewalk Prophets has been taking its hit music, energetic live performances and thought provoking creativity on the road over the past few months on the 2017 leg of “The Prodigal Tour.” The band will make a stop in State College on Saturday as it continues to spread the love of Christ with music.
The band was formed by vocalist Dave Frey and rhythm guitarist Ben McDonald when the two were attending Anderson University. The lineup also includes lead guitarist Daniel Macal, bassist Cal Joslin and drummer Justin Nace.
“The Prodigal Tour” sets itself apart from other tours as the band has created what it calls an “immersive concert experience.” The centerpiece of this tour is Wander Creative’s short film, “The Prodigal,” which was co-written by McDonald.
For this tour, Sidewalk Prophets let its fans decide the cities it would be rocking, garnering more than 200 submissions.
“We followed up on details and made sure that the routing made sense, but after that we came where our fans asked,” Frey said. “Playing a lot of rural areas, we have found such an atmosphere of excitement, especially compared to the ‘bigger cities.’ We’re so grateful State College wanted us to come and rock for Jesus.”
The band loves all styles of music, as evident on its latest album, “Something Different,” which includes an ’80s pop/rock song with wailing guitar solos followed by a mid-tempo, heart-tugging ballad, followed by an epic, gospel based tune. The title track mixes influences from Michael Jackson to Led Zeppelin to DC Talk. Also on the album is a song Frey wrote in Hawaii called “You Ain’t Nobody,” featuring him on ukulele and bass clarinet.
“I’d been begging for years to rock the bass clarinet, and finally the guys agreed,” he said. “My favorite instrument on the album is called the bouzouki. It’s a Greek instrument our lead guitarist, Dan Macal, plays. It looks like an oversized mandolin and sounds like a jangly, stringed wonderment.”
During the concert at Christ Community Church, the band will play songs from “Something Different” and many of its radio hits. The band’s hope, Frey said, is to share the love of God and change lives by the end of the concert.
“We hope people come out and leave saying, ‘man that was fun, and I need to go share what happened here with everyone I meet,’ ” he said.
For Frey and the band, music is a blessed gift.
“I want to make sure I honor the giver of the gift everyday with the music we make,” Frey said. “Performing and traveling the country over 200 days a year is tough, but it allows us to meet new people, realize we all serve the same awesome God and get to know each other’s hearts. I hope that our music makes people smile, touches their hearts and moves them into action in spreading the love of Christ.”

AHS is back! Here’s how you can watch American Horror Story season 11, episodes 3 and 4 of AHS: NYC live and online.
After American Horror Story: Double Feature, the TV franchise needs AHS: NYC to be better than good. Double Feature had moments of brilliance, but even more that were unwatchable. Thankfully, the first two episodes of AHS: NYC were great. It set the stage for what’s already an intense and emotional season.
This season focuses on how gay men are being targeted by a mysterious serial killer. Unfortunately, the police don’t seem to care. The one cop that does (Patrick Read) can’t help too much or he may be forced to come out as gay – something his partner (Gino Barelli) wishes he’d do.
Expectations for the next American Horror Story: NYC
The killer attempted to make his intentions clear, but it came out as a lot of gibberish. As the season goes on, the reason he’s killing and the war he mentioned should become clearer. If the reason is poor, American Horror Story season 11 could struggle.
Hopefully, the B-story surrounding Billie Lourd will be made clear. Her study of deer dying looks like it could be connected to the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s. American Horror Story has always dropped hints to certain moments in history being influenced by supernatural and other forces. It could be the same here.
There’s also Big Daddy. We don’t know if he’s dead, alive, or something else entirely. That is a secret that likely won’t come out in the next couple of episodes. However, look for him to appear again and have a more defined reason for killing. It’s also possible he’s connected to Sam (played by Zachary Quinto).
How to watch American Horror Story season 11 online
Full details on how to watch season 1, episodes 3 and 4 of American Horror Story: NYC – and the rest of the series – can be found below, including start time, TV info, live stream and more:
Date: Wednesday, October 26
Time: 10:00 p.m. ET
Episodes: 3 “Smoke Signals” and 4 “Black Out”
TV info: FX
Live stream: Hulu
“Smoke Signals” and “Black Out” will air first on FX this Wednesday night. It’s made available to watch on Hulu the next day – where it will then be available to stream permanently. After the show is released, it will be available to purchase on Amazon Prime Video and other VOD services.
