Located in Napa Valley's Oak Knoll District, Black Stallion Estate Winery occupies a privileged position at the southern foot of the Silverado Trail.
The winery takes its name from a major equestrian area that once occupied the grounds. Its calling card is Cabernet Sauvignon, made in a classic Napa Valley style that offers richness and finesse. While single-vineyard wines are occasionally bottled, most Black Stallion wines are made from small lots cherry-picked from the valley's disparate winegrowing zones. These are then painstakingly blended to create luxurious, unforgettable wines that capture the depth and brilliance of Napa Valley's diverse growing regions.

Live from Jordan: Letters Home from My Journey Through the Middle East
Benjamin Orbach did something just a few months after the events of 9-11 that few Americans dared to do. Just when most Americans were purposely avoiding travel to the Middle East (or had left the area for good), Orbach decided to move to Jordan on his own so that he could study Arabic as it is spoken on the street. He wanted to learn everyday Arabic slang and ways of expressing himself in the language that would allow him to communicate with Arabic speakers at the deepest level. Immersing himself into the culture of Amman, and living there without the usual security surrounding most Americans in that part of the world, he learned much more about himself and the people he met than he could have reasonably expected to come away with going into the experience.
Orbach's language skills and obvious respect for the culture and people he lived among made it possible for him to fit into his Amman neighborhood so well that he formed lasting friendships with the people he saw there everyday, his barber, his grocer, students at his university, his language teachers, restaurant owners and his landlady, among them. Unlike most Americans, and probably most Westerners, he came to see them as individuals with the same hopes and desires that we all have, rather than as interchangeable parts in a single Arab culture dominated by a religion bent on destroying the West and claiming the world for Islam. Anyone who reads Live from Jordan will be able to rid themselves of that stereotypical viewpoint forever and that makes it an important book.
When I started reading Live from Jordan I wondered whether or not Benjamin Orbach's personal experiences would be similar the ones I had while working in Algeria from late 1992 until early 2002. As it turns out, they definitely were. I am not an Arabic speaker but in Algeria French is the business language of choice and most Algerians are at least somewhat fluent in the language. That allowed me to have rather detailed and intimate discussions with my Algerian co-workers and friends about our differences and, more importantly, about our similarities. Much as I suspect that Orbach will always treasure his days in Jordan and Egypt, I will be forever grateful for the friendship and trust that was offered to me by those Algerians who welcomed me into their world as an individual rather than exclude me as an "American."
I mention my years in that part of the world only to emphasize how "true" this book read to me. I did not find a false note in it anywhere and would love to see its message spread as widely as possible.

What a beautiful topic for a book right now, when so many people seem bent on perpetuating stereotypes and hatred.
Jen Forbus Wednesday, June 18, 2008 at 5:09:00 AM CDT
Hmmm, your comments sound like the ones I just posted for Three Cups of Tea! I have so much respect for people willing to do things like this and spread the word to others. We as Americans NEED to hear it!
Ben Wednesday, June 18, 2008 at 1:58:00 PM CDT
Sam, thanks for the kind words. You are right, living in Jordan and Egypt and traveling around the Middle East for a year was an experience that I treasure today. Besides what I learned about myself and about the people I met, it was really a lot of fun.
Sam Wednesday, June 18, 2008 at 6:59:00 PM CDT
I agree, Heather. This kind of thing is a good reminder that there are two sides to everything and that human nature is the same in all countries of the world.
I'm going to have to go back and find your post, Jen...
Thanks for stopping by, Ben. I can well imagine how much fun you had during that 13 months. Your writing brought back a lot of good memories for me and I sincerely appreciate what you had to say in the book.

This is rather interesting, from a "biased news" perspective. Rather than a CNN vs Fox thing, this is US news vs European news. In this case specifically Germany, who, sad for me to say, seems to be going very soft on Russia for political /economic reasons. This story is from the Epoch Times Germany, who are pretty similar to the US Epoch Times in generally unbiased reporting.
In this article, they are talking about undue saber rattling by the US and UK, that Biden is overreacting, and even have interviews with Ukrainian officials downplaying the current crisis. Anyway, I found the non-US news report rather interesting compared to what is reported here. The article was too long for me to manually translate, so I just threw it into Google translate. While clunky, it captures the gist of the article:
While sabers are being rattled in Washington and London, Ukraine seems relaxed. Russian troop movements at the border are therefore normal. But why is this matter so hyped?
Speaking to journalists on Tuesday, US President Joe Biden threatened Russian President Vladimir Putin with serious consequences and economic sanctions if Russia invaded Ukraine. He even announced that he could imagine direct sanctions against the Russian president.
With Russian troops near the Ukraine border, Biden said this could be the "biggest invasion since World War II" and would change the world. The "Neue Zürcher Zeitung" reports that around 8,500 US soldiers have been put on increased standby so that they can be quickly transferred to Eastern Europe if necessary. A Pentagon spokesman said on Monday that the soldiers would be deployed as part of the NATO Response Force if necessary, but would not be sent directly to Ukraine.
But what is the assumption based on that a Russian invasion is imminent? Apparently not on current Ukrainian assessments.
Ukraine does not see itself in danger
The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently gave the impression in a video language that there was no imminent danger: "Everything is under control. There is no reason to panic." A peaceful solution to the Donbass conflict is being sought. His head of government, Denys Schmyhal, also sees "no threats to the functioning of our economy". There are sufficient currency reserves to support the exchange rate of the national currency hryvnia.
On Monday, Oleksiy Danilov, secretary of the National Security Council of Ukraine, told journalists: "Today we see no evidence at all of the allegation of a large-scale attack on our country." Troop movements on the Russian side, in contrast to the West, are not a surprising matter .
This is reported, among other things, by the "Kleine Zeitung" in Austria. According to Danilev, it all started with an article in the Washington Post in mid-October. The situation in Ukraine has been difficult since 2014, said Danilov after a Security Council meeting.
Among other things, however, the USA and Great Britain are already withdrawing part of their embassy staff and family members of diplomats from Ukraine: "Precautionary measures", according to the US State Department. "Excessive caution," says the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry: "We consider such a step by the American side to be premature." The security situation has "not changed fundamentally," the ministry said in Kiev.
On the fringes of a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell had rather reassuring words about the American personnel deduction: "I don't think we need to dramatize."
Arms shipments and geopolitics
The journalist and political scientist Ramon Schack writes on Dirk Müller's financial website "Cashkurs": "Great Britain and the USA have of course also taken the lead in arms deliveries to Ukraine, which distracts somewhat from the domestic political problems on the home front, of which both statesmen have had enough to have."
Schack also recalled that Joe Biden finally welcomed the Ukrainian President to the White House in September after a long wait, but then treated him like a supplier. Instead of supporting Ukraine's NATO membership and the Nord Stream 2 issue, Zelenskyi returned to Kiev with empty suitcases.
According to Schack, the Ukrainian President is now assuming "that his country is only acting as a pawn in this geopolitical conflict". Sooner or later Kiev will be dropped. The neighbor to the east, Russia, remains.
Schack points to a possible scenario for the current crisis. In 2019, the pro-government RAND Corporation discussed sanctions and tactical troop deployments, such as stationing bombers and tactical nuclear weapons within striking distance of the Russian border, under the title "Overextending and Unbalancing Russia". Ukraine was said to be "exploiting Russia's greatest external weakness" and providing "deadly aid" to Ukraine. Schack explains: "Say: to deliver weapons."
Is US action driving Russia to China?
During a recent visit to Kiev, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken highlighted the close ties between the US and Ukraine and said he wanted to use "unyielding" diplomacy to stop Russian aggression. Last Thursday in Berlin, Blinken said at a joint press conference with Germany's new foreign minister, Annalena Baerbock, "No matter which path Russia chooses, it will find the United States, Germany and our allies united."
Putin's press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, accused the US and NATO of not causing the tensions with Russia, but with their "hysteria" and "information campaign" accompanied by a multitude of "simple lies".
Schack doubts whether, in view of this development, it will be possible to force Russia out of the alliance with communist China. In the past few weeks, Moscow has registered exactly what the Kremlin thinks of the West.

« Last Edit: January 27, 2022, 08:43:49 PM by Ben »
So when Russia ultimately doesn't invade Ukraine, Joe can take a victory lap and perhaps help his sagging poll numbers. Is that possibly what all the fuss is about on the US side?
This is rather softballing it, but Germany likes Russian natural gas. And probably isn't real thrilled with headlines like "Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline will not open if Russia invades Ukraine, says US".
I think Ukrainian state actions show that the government takes the situation is a little more seriously then Oleksiy is letting on.

Good thing Germany and Russia have never colluded to invade an annex a mutual neighbor...
It appears stuff from the German article is making it to the US, regarding Biden possibly blowing this up into something more than it is, and it seems to corroborate Zalensky telling Biden to calm down:
https://twitchy.com/dougp-3137/2022/01/28/tweets-got-deleted-after-wh-disputed-what-cnns-anonymous-sources-said-about-bidens-call-with-zalensky/
I read a couple more kraut articles, and they continue the same theme as the first one. I was also looking at reader comments and it's interesting to see this opinion emerge multiple times: "Under Trump there seemed to be no great worries regarding Russia invading Ukraine, but now with Biden it seems Putin feels he has a free hand."
Note that most krauts did not like Trump, so lots of people thinking the above show that they also have "vicarious buyer's remorse" regarding their support of Biden.
And now China is saying they are ready for war with the US if Taiwan tries to go full independent.

Ukraine crisis: No sign of Russian de-escalation, Nato chief says

Tag: Jonathan Shedler
In 1986, Jonathan Shedler and Melvin Manis, researchers at the University of Michigan, created an experiment to simulate a trial. Subjects were asked to play the role of jurors and were given the transcript of a (fictitious) trial to read. The jurors were asked to assess the fitness of a mother, Mrs. Johnson, and to decide whether her seven-year-old son should remain in her care.
The transcript was constructed to be closely balanced: There were eight arguments against Mrs. Johnson and eight arguments for Mrs. Johnson. All the jurors heard the same arguments. The only difference was the level of detail in those arguments. In one experimental group, all the arguments against her had no extra details; they were pallid by comparison. The other group heard the opposite combination.
As an example, one argument in Mrs. Johnson's favor said: "Mrs. Johnson sees to it that her child washes and brushes his teeth before bedtime." In the vivid form, the argument added a detail: "He uses a Star Wars toothbrush that looks like Darth Vader."
An argument against Mrs. Johnson was: "The child went to school with a badly scraped arm which Mrs. Johnson had not cleaned or attended to. The school nurse had to clean the scrape." The vivid form added the detail that, as the nurse was cleaning the scrape, she spilled Mercurochrome on herself, staining her uniform read.
The researchers carefully tested the arguments with and without vivid details to ensure that they had the same perceived importance — the details were designed to be irrelevant to the judgment of Mrs. Johnson's worthiness. It mattered that Mrs. Johnson didn't attend to the scarped arm; it didn't matter that the nurse's uniform got stained in the process.
But even though the details shouldn't have mattered, they did. Jurors who heard the favorable arguments with vivid details judged Mrs. Johnson to be a more suitable parent (5.8 out of 10) than did jurors who heard the unfavorable arguments with vivid details (4.3 out of 10). The details has a big impact.

Weak Unions, Weak Economy
Why the Decline of Organized Labor Makes it Harder to Revive Growth
Wrong Culprits: What's NOT Stopping Job Growth
With unemployment above 9 percent, creating more jobs is an urgent priority for the United States. But it is difficult to have a sensible debate on how to spark job growth given the myths and misinformation that surround this issue. Specifically, many political leaders and analysts wrongly point to three culprits in explaining weak job growth: government regulations, the new healthcare law, and taxes. None of these explanations hold up under closer scrutiny. Regulation Isn't Stopping Job Growth
Put America Back To Work
The biggest domestic policy failure has been the refusal of top officials in the White House and in Congress to recognize the severity of the employment crisis that has settled like a plague over American workers.
Real Jobs Crisis, Fringe Ideas
Do Republicans in Congress care about creating jobs -- which polls say is the number one issue for voters -- or about ideological purity? The ongoing debate on Capitol Hill over President Obama's $447 billion jobs package offers a crystal clear answer to that question.
The GOP's Continued EPA Witchhunt
It's hard to imagine that an industry that has spent over $28 million on federal and state campaign contributions this election cycle alone would be victimized by government regulation, but that is the cry coming from the oil and gas industry. Well, more accurately, that is the cry coming from politicians in the pockets of those industries.
Facebook IPO Gives the Rich (Even) More Clout
It's no secret that Facebook's IPO will feed one of the most troubling trends in America today: the extreme concentration of wealth in the hands of a tiny elite.
Credit CARD Act Turns 3: A Regulation Even Stephen Colbert Could Celebrate
The Credit CARD Act is helping households pay down balances faster, with a third of low- and middle-income households that carry credit card debt reporting that new disclosures have caused them to pay down their balances faster.
Facebook and Wall Street's Inside Game
The story as it now stands for Facebook's IPO supports a broader narrative depressingly familiar to most Americans: Which is that the stock market is a rigged game.
Another Reason to Distrust Wall Street: 401(k) Fees
As wary as the public may be of Wall Street, it is not wary enough because the financial industry rips people off even more than most of us realize -- specifically, in 401(k) fees.
Why Deregulation Won't Create Jobs
As early as today, the Republican leadership in the U.S. House of Representatives will be bringing H.R. 4078, the so-called "Red Tape Reduction and Small Business Job Creation Act" up for a vote. Like so much of what passes for legislation in Congress these days, this legislation is more a statement of philosophy than a thought out piece of policy.
Hyatt: Worst Hotel Employer in America?
Work as a hotel housekeeper isn't an easy job under any circumstances. For more than 400,000 predominantly female and immigrant workers, the work means lifting heavy mattresses, stretching to clean high surfaces, and often scrubbing bathroom floors on hands and knees. Full-time workers earn just $21,000 a year, on average.
Poverty's Up, Yet Still on the Back Burner
In a speech at the University of Kansas in February of the tumultuous year 1968, Robert F. Kennedy spoke of the plight of the poorest Americans, those struggling in devastated rural areas, and on Indian reservations and in the tenements and housing projects of the inner cities. He was blunt. "We must begin," he said, "to end this disgrace of the other America."
Hardest Hit: The August 2012 Young Adult Unemployment Report
Unlike the overall labor force, young adults saw unemployment rates rise in the month of August.
Wall Street Built That
As we celebrate Occupy Wall Street's first birthday, the movement's pivoted from financial regulation to focus on crushing consumer debt. While reforming debt is crucial (particularly student debt), finance remains an imminent threat to the American economy. We shouldn't forget it.
Joseph Hines
Finishing the Job: Next Steps on Financial Reform
The job of reforming Wall Street is far from finished. The most profitable investments for the big banks continue to be Washington lobbyists chipping away at reform and litigators challenging every major rule in court.

Sometimes, spondylolisthesis develops silently, but most patients report episodes of back pain that have occurred for many years. Patients often report increased pain when standing or when rising from a sitting position. Pain tends to increase throughout the day. If your nerve openings have become narrowed, the nerves may be pinched, and you may experience pain radiating into your legs. Leg symptoms that shift from side to side are characteristic of degenerative spondylolisthesis. Leg pain and tingling are fairly common, but be sure to tell your doctor if you notice more significant symptoms, like leg numbness, heaviness, weakness, loss of bowel or bladder function, or impotence.
Studies have shown no advantage for surgery over conservative care for most cases of degenerative spondylolisthesis. Approximately one-third of patients will experience progression of symptoms over time, and only 10-15% will ever need surgery to correct the problem. Fortunately, the majority of patients will benefit from treatment and exercises to help stabilize their spine.


A large broker-dealer agreed to pay over $800,000 in disgorgement, interest, and penalties for failing to police an advisor client's misuse of soft dollars. According to the SEC, the respondent paid soft dollar credits where red flags should have alerted the broker-dealer that the expenses may not have been permissible. The expenses included payments to a principal's ex-wife, rent at a personal residence, and maintenance on a timeshare. The SEC argues that all the expenses fell outside the 28(e) safe harbor, yet the broker-dealer did not get sufficient supporting documentation including a legal opinion. The SEC charged the BD with aiding and abetting the advisor's violations of the Advisers Act's antifraud rules.
OUR TAKE: We didn't know that a broker-dealer had an affirmative obligation to supervise the use of soft dollar credits. We also didn't know that an entity that is not engaging in advisory activities could have liability under the Advisers Act. Perhaps, this case is another example of the SEC prosecuting the gatekeepers.
Over te years, there have been several pronouncements from the SEC and FINRA concerning what are proper soft dollar payments and soft dollar uses. The order points out that some individuals at Instinet did acknowledge that the payments being made were not legal payments. Broker-dealers have been warned about this isssue. It is one of the areas along with commission recapture that may in time get a broker-dealer having to respond to the SEC or FINRA.

At long last, John Lynch elected to Pro Football Hall of Fame
Aric DiLalla
Lead writer
In each of the last seven years, John Lynch's Pro Football Hall of Fame candidacy has abruptly ended with a call from David Baker, the president of the Hall of Fame.
Those phone calls, which let Lynch know he would not be among those elected to the Hall, have served as a consistent and brutal rebuke as Lynch stood on the doorstep of Canton.
No longer.
On Saturday, Lynch at last earned pro football's highest honor as the Hall of Fame announced during NFL Honors that Lynch was a member of the Class of 2021.
"A couple weeks ago on Championship Sunday, I received a wonderful knock on my door, and it was David Baker from the Pro Football Hall of Fame letting me know that my time had come, that'd I'd be getting inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the Class of 2021," Lynch said. "... I just wanted to thank everybody in Denver, the Denver Broncos, everybody in Broncos Country for four wonderful years in Denver as a Bronco and then we ended up living there for 11 years and raising our family there. So thankful to everybody in Denver who supported us, who supported the John Lynch Foundation and everything we tried to do — but most of all just cheered us on and had our backs. We appreciate you. It's so special for the Broncos, Mr. Bowlen, Steve Atwater, Champ [Bailey], myself now — and I've got a pretty good idea Peyton Manning's going to be coming into the class with me. The Broncos are finally getting their due to go along with guys like John Elway and many more to come. Thank you, Broncos Country. Appreciate it, love you all and thank you for everything."
Only 10 players in NFL history had been named a Hall of Fame finalist in at least eight consecutive years, and Lynch was one of just two of those players without a gold jacket. He shed that distinction as he became the ninth Hall of Famer in Broncos history. Peyton Manning will likely join Lynch in the Class of 2021, as well.
"Being a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame for the last eight years, John has waited a long time for this moment," Broncos President and CEO Joe Ellis said. "He was so much more than a four-time Pro Bowler with the Broncos, bringing tremendous leadership and presence to our team while solidifying his place among the greatest safeties in NFL history. Even after his decorated career with the Bucs, John still had such a desire to be the best. What we accomplished in 2005 — going 13-3 and hosting the AFC Championship Game — would not have been possible without one of the best seasons of John's career. We congratulate him on his long-awaited election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame."
A two-time first-team All-Pro, Lynch spent the final four years of his career in Denver after playing 11 years and winning a Lombardi trophy in Tampa.
Lynch made the Pro Bowl in each of his four seasons in Denver, and he is one of just seven players to earn four Pro Bowl nods with multiple teams. All of the eligible players in that group are now in the Hall of Fame. Lynch's nine Pro Bowl selections also rank second all-time among safeties.
Lynch's finest season in Denver likely came in 2005, as he recorded a pair of interceptions, eight pass breakups, four forced fumbles and a team-leading four sacks.
With Lynch among the leaders in Denver's secondary, the Broncos advanced to the 2005 AFC Championship game.
Lynch was inducted into both the Broncos' Ring of Fame and the Buccaneers' Ring of Honor in 2016, making him one of a select few individuals — including Eric Dickerson, Reggie White, Marshall Faulk and Vince Lombardi — to be enshrined in multiple Rings of Fame/Honor.
Now, he's also headed for Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Lynch — and likely Manning — are expected to be enshrined in Canton later this summer. Class of 2020 electee Steve Atwater will be enshrined, as well.

Q: Ansible 2.9.21: unwanted escape char "\" is added in shell command In my playbook the following line should return 1, and if it returns >1, the play should stop:
shell: ls -l /opt/tomcat/|grep "[ ]\+{{ newTomcatVer }}$"; echo $?

My play did indeed fail with this error:
"msg": "There is more than one /opt/tomcat/apache-tomcat-8.x.xx instance on server01, ending play"

After running again with in debug mode, I see this shell command is being represented like this in the debug output:
"cmd": "ls -l /opt/tomcat/|grep \"[ ]\\+apache-tomcat-8.5.69$\"; echo $?",

In the above, double quotes are escaped with \ character. The question is, which command is actually being used - the one that is in the playbook, or the one which we see in the debug output?
Because if I run the command which is in the notebook, i.e. without escape chars, the output is 1 as expected:
[tomcat@server01 ~]$ ls -l /opt/tomcat/|grep "[ ]\\+apache-tomcat-8.5.69$"; echo $?
1

But if I issue the command which is in the debug output, I get this:
[tomcat@server01 ~]$ ls -l /opt/tomcat/|grep \"[ ]\\+apache-tomcat-8.5.69$\"; echo $?
grep: Invalid regular expression
2

Any ideas how to solve this?

A: Use single quotes in the grep command.
grep "[ ]\+{{ newTomcatVer }}$"

When you use double quotes, the shell will try to do variable expansion, meaning it will try to make sense of $". This is coming out as $\" because the shell doesn't recognize $" as a parameter it can expand, so it tries to guess what you wanted and escapes the quotation mark.
There's no real reason to do shell parameter expansion here, so you can place the regex in single quotes to solve the problem. The shell will not attempt to do parameter expansion and will treat the $ literally.
grep '[ ]\+{{ newTomcatVer }}$'

Imagine three couples and a film crew crowded into a garage in Clarksdale, Mississippi, during a March rainstorm. In the garage six Chinese-American cooks are tending four sizzling woks.
The film crew is shooting a segment for "Bizarre Foods America," the Travel Channel series that features chef and foodie Andrew Zimmern going to exotic places and having the locals cook for him. Stuff like pigeon pie, barbecued armadillo, camel's ribs. Nothing you're going to find at the Piggly Wiggly.
For this "Blues Trail" segment, the crew has already eaten barbecue in Memphis; tomorrow they'll eat hot tamales. Today, on this improbable afternoon, Sally Chow along with two of her brothers and their wives are cooking Chinese, Southern style, in the garage of her brother's ranch-style home.
The menu includes pigtails and blackeye peas (a Chinese New Year's dish), oxtail with radish, Chinese spare-ribs barbecued in a homemade charcoal cooker, crawdads Cantonese and Yung's almost-famous stir-fried collard greens.
One of the cooks, Yung Chow, is focused on her stir-fried collard greens. Yung turned to collards about 25 years ago when she moved to Columbus and couldn't find gai lon, a Chinese leafy vegetable. In the intervening years she's perfected the recipe and it appears in at least one cookbook ("The New American Cooking" by Joan Nathan).
As the cameraman photographed Yung at work on her speciality, her husband, Dean announced, "Two days ago these greens were in the ground in Caledonia, Mississippi."
The cameraman asked him to repeat that line and Dean complied.
"One more time without looking at the camera."
Dean said his line again. That's show business.
How is it a Columbus dentist and his wife happened to be cooking collards for a Travel Channel segment on "bizarre food," you might ask. Caledonia collards, no less.
Dean's sister Sally has given cooking demonstrations with John T. Edge's Southern Foodways Alliance at Ole Miss and is known in food circles. When Sally got the call from the show's producer, she called in re-enforcements, mainly her brothers Dean and Audric and their wives.
Plans were for each couple to make two dishes for a menu worked out between Sally and the show's producers. Dean and Yung would do the crawfish and the collards. But where do you find decent collard greens in March?
Dean posed that question to his receptionist Jean Caston -- he'd just finished doing some dental work on Barbara Jean Beatty, who was still in the office.
"I know where you can get the best collard greens in Columbus, but I have to call my sister," Barbara Jean chimed in.
Turns out Beatty's sister is in a Sunday school class with Joan Mouchett, whose husband, Jackie, is something of a collard specialist.
Jackie grew up in Millport, and though he doesn't profess to be an expert on the subject, says Alabama people tend to favor turnip greens over collards. Joan, who was raised in the Caledonia area, says she grew up eating collards.
About two years ago, wanting to overcome his collard deficiency, Jackie planted Georgia collards. Not so good. Next he planted Vates. They were better, good enough to give to friends, friends like Barbara Jean's sister.
"I was tickled when they told me," Joan said about Yung's call. "I watch HGTV and the food channels."
This winter's crop was particularly sweet. The cold weather makes collards sweeter, Jackie says.
So when the show's host approached Dean and Yung's wok, Dean, ever the promoter, said, "These may be the sweetest collard greens you ever tasted."
Zimmern didn't hesitate. "They taste like candy," he announced.
Later in the shoot Zimmern had a producer call Hicks Tamales to see if the hot tamales were ready for the next shoot later that evening.
"They won't have them until 9 o'clock tomorrow morning and they want $200," a producer called out.
"Tell 'em we'll give 'em $300 and be sure to make it good," Zimmern shouted back.
So, rather than rushing off, the crew stayed for supper.
"He has a saying," says Dean of Zimmern. "'If it looks good, eat it. If it tastes good, get seconds.' We were wondering what he would take seconds of."
As for Sally's fot choy, a stir fry with roast pork, Zimmern took seconds saying her version of the Chinese New Year's dish was better than any he'd had in mainland China.
That and Yung's collards were the two dishes he doubled up on.
Before the shoot was over pictures were taken. Dean thought to ask Zimmern to sign one for the Mouchetts.
Without hesitation he signed the picture and then wrote one word. "Amazing."
"The Blues Trail" segment of "Bizarre Foods America" is scheduled to air on the Travel Channel Aug. 20.

White nationalist internet trolls have traditionally been President Donald Trump's staunchest supporters — but they are absolutely furious at his decision to strike Syria.
InfoWars contributor Paul Joseph Watson declared himself "off the Trump train" over the attacks, and he pointed out that Trump was getting plaudits from assorted "globalists," including John McCain and Hillary Clinton.
Popular white nationalist Twitter user Baked Alaska made a similar point, and claimed that "real Trump supporters" were against the attack.
White nationalist Richard Spencer, meanwhile, condemned the American attack on Syria and even floated Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) as a challenger to Trump in 2020.
Mike Cernovich, a conspiracy theorist who in the past has voiced support for the "white genocide" conspiracy theory, said that all the Trump supporters he's talked with so far have been adamantly against going to war in Syria.

Pre-Code Capsules 3: THE SECRET 6; SMART WOMAN, TARZAN, BLONDE CRAZY, THE MATCH KING
It was kind of disconcerting to hear Alec Baldwin and David Letterman this week discussing their love of old films, with Dave adding they start getting good only from after 1934. Say whaaa? Dude, Acidemic readers know the best cinematic times are the eras Letterman doesn't like, the post-silent/pre-code era of 1929-1934, before the code crushed womankind and made her wear ridiculous aprons and act wholesome, in ways bourgeois woman's groups felt would be better for the 'masses.' Here's some 90 proof good stuff, before they gummed the works:
THE SECRET 6
Wallace Beery gets top billing in this protean MGM gangster drama set in gritty downtown Chicago (there's some chilling stockyard tracking shots). Hard to believe Beery was once a huge box office draw, playing burly ruffians opposite Jackie Cooper or Marie Dressler; he had a certain gruff charm sure, but when he left, he took the hopes of big ugly lugs to make A-list money with him. Here he plays a ruffian stockyard worker nicknamed "Slaughterhouse" who leaves off hog killing to become a gangster (prohibition made it a sound career move), eventually running for mayor on the "pig-sticker" ticket, with the stockyards howling and mooing away behind his podium.
Andre Bazin would approve of this film since it operates on a loose semi-documentary style: lots of interiors packed with extras and activity and a sense of real time via long uninterrupted takes in medium frame. Everyone speaks slowly and carefully for the early sound equipment. If nothing else it makes for an invaluable record of Chicago in the actual prohibition era: press rooms, stockyards, nightclubs, bottling plants, breweries, various ways to stash and distribute (putting bottles inside other things for delivery, etc.) money changing hands, receipt tallying, shakedowns, political rallies, checks being written, highjacking, and blackmail. Lewis Stone is his bitter Irish rival, Jean Harlow a sexy nightclub hatcheck girl whose real job is to hook reporters so they glorify the gangsters in the press, and Clark Gable a two-timing no good rat finkwhyIoughtta.... who tips off her latest patsy.
SMART WOMAN
1931 - ** 1/2
Thanks to the light touch of director Gregory La Cava this soggy farce is pretty light on its feet, even with excessive early sound hiss and TCM's print all but faded to light uniform grey. Mary Astor plays a martyrishly modern upscale wife who comes home from a trip abroad--faithful to her husband Don (Robert Ames) all the while--only to find he's taken up with a blonde gold digger (Noel Francis), and her claw-hooked mother (Gladys Gale). Once again the gender neutral fuddy-duddy-isms of Edward Everett Horton attempt to liven the stiltedness. He comes to pick Mary Astor up from the docks in a huge crowd scene; there's a brief, horrifying minute when I thought he was the husband Astor's been boasting of to her would-be lover Sir Guy Harrington (John Halliday) during the voyage. Phew! Were we meant to think that? Tricky, tricky Gregory! Things get better when the blonde gold digger hits it off with Sir Guy during a strangely sexy bicycle ride. Dewy, wild-eyed and seductive, trying to hide her panting and light sweat sheen, she really wakes up the film, ash if the exercise re-activates the bootleg backstage hooch in her system, but the zzz's are never far behind, struggling to catch up like Edward Everett Horton on a girl's bike.
TARZAN, THE APE MAN
There's been so many kid-friendly TARZAN films--from the silent era up through Disney's animated version--that it's easy to forget the first two films with Weissmuller were adult, intense, and uber-lurid. TARZAN AND HIS MATE (1934) has a nude swimming scene (restored!), wild-ass battles and Maureen O'Sullivan in the hottest loincloth of any Jane ever. This one is pretty wild too. The big climax-- a tribe of pygmies throwing Jane and her father into a pit with a flesh-rending ape monster--is unparalleled in sheer lurid extremity. A more terrifying version of the Lollipop Guild, the studio used real African American and African dwarfs in the scene, and to see them all decked-out in exotic furs and fangs swarming around the pit, yelling and screaming for blood, man oh man.... it's so splendidly disturbing, and racist and wrong, you may never want to watch it again, after just twenty more times...
BLONDE CRAZY
A Warner Brothers Cagney film with lots of good-natured slapping, BLONDE CRAZY's got a little something for everyone... to be offended by... sooner or later... like seeing James Cagney--wearing lots of white make-up and eye shadow--getting taken for a sucker by Louis Calhern during a trip to the big city. Wait... what? Louis Calhern? Senior Trentino of Sylvania? Mrs. Teasdale, I'm afraid this has forced our countries into war!
Noel Francis
Cagney starts out a movie usher, then a hotel lobby boy before hooking up with Joan Blondell to implement his scrapbook full of scams. She's the cheese, he's the mousetrap, get me? Guy Kibbee's the first sucker they trim; his roll gets them to 'a big city' and all is well... at first. Cagney in these scenes is already super-modern and hip and making fun of the measured early sound way other actors talked in the early days of sound cinema. But... again, I just can't stand seeing him get took by the dude who'd later lose a war to Groucho Marx. Am I right, bud? Would you want to see John Wayne get his ass kicked by Franklin Pangborn? And speak of the devil, Noel Francis (left) is as dewy and weird-eyed in her few scenes as she was in SMART WOMAN. More please!
There's also an impossibly young Ray Milland as a Wall Street swine who sends Blondell tomes of love poetry (Cagney reads some of the Browning in amusing style) and look fast for a 'good luck' swastika key chain.
THE MATCH KING
Thanks to TCM we've had the chance to discover a lot of pre-code stars that fell by the wayside over the years. Perhaps it's because being in the shadows helped stave off the draining of endless imitation, but seeing these guys in action at last over so many films it's like finding a holy grail that might lift current cinematic masculinity of its wussy gutter. Warren William is one such fella, here as droll and pleasingly devilish as a no-good embezzler can be in a loosely biographical portrait of Ivar Kreuger, the guy who cornered the market on matches in the 20s, turning his uncle's floundering Swedish match factory into a giant conglomerate because everyone uses matches, "even the rich" and anyone even the bum on the street "will give you a match." Along his way up to the top we learn all sorts of quick scam tricks, including using an array of well-kept courtesans to get insider trading tips from dignitaries, and inventing the idea of 'three on a match' to help sell more boxes, and bailing pre-war European countries out of economic collapse in exchange for match monopolies. Lili Damita gets a few meandering scenes as the main love interest; she and Warren share a long walk and got caught in the rain and then fall in love or something, then she's gone and he's back to work, thank god. No one gives a shit. We'd rather chill with Glenda Farrell who has an earlier bit as a confederate who gets the jilt stateside; Harold Huber is a Portuguese counterfeiter meanwhile, making Ivar some counterfeit bonds which eventually prove his undoing; before then though Ivar has plenty of time to espouse and practice his philosophy: "Don't worry until something happens."
I would sure like to be able to operate that loose and gutsy but hey - it's too nerve wracking as we consider our national debt ever spiraling out into the double digit trillions. "It's all right," notes Ivar of his house of matchsticks strategy, "as long as I keep going... as long as I don't ever stop." In other words in order to not have to pay back his loans he has to keep procuring more and more debts through more and bigger investments. That's sure the way my boss Michel used to operate so I can vouch for its correctness as far as big business... Incidentally, David Letterman mentioned this movie in a discussion with Alec Baldwin this week on the joy of TCM! Baldwin hadn't heard of it. Baldwin, you'd do well to absorb a little Warren in your already scintillating rogue repertoire! He's just your type.

Erich, after seeing too many of the kiddie Tarzans I can't help cheering whenever I see that ape-monster use Cheeta like a mallet on a cockroach and throw the poor wretch away like so much litter. It always disappoints that Cheeta survives.
KC 16 April, 2011
I can't believe Letterman said that about pre-34 flicks. That boy has it backwards.
Peres Blancs 17 April, 2011
How do we get our mitts on these other than catching them on TCM? Any good sources?
Erich Kuersten 17 April, 2011
Peres, there's always ioffer.com, where graymarket titles abound. But then again, TCM keeps these comin' fast and furious, just tivo everything made between 1929 and 1934 and you can't go wrong.
KC, thanks for agreeing and Samuel, you're damned right. Chimpanzees are notoriously unstable and uncouth creatures. As the series developed, more and more footage was wasted on his spastic antics. Then when 'boy' came around, and the Home and Gardens jungle duplex, well, include me out.

Katrina works as a night care assistant with Brunelcare, supporting older people with dementia in a residential setting.
"I have always been interested in anything health related. I like the idea of being able to help people and to work as part of a team with other healthcare professionals.
"I have always wanted to help people in times of need and find it very rewarding to go home after a shift knowing that assisting people with even the smallest tasks make a huge difference to their wellbeing.
"Before this I was a baker and I gained huge amounts of knowledge in customer relations, negotiating, personal hygiene, food safety and food handling. It has really helped me in my work to support people with their physical, social and emotional needs.
"This job provides a real opportunity to make a difference in someone's life. It can be difficult to see someone in pain or with confusion and forgetfulness, but those who are still able to communicate are so grateful for the support we are able to give to help them maintain some independence.
Long term, Katrina has plans to develop her skills and qualifications to become a registered nurse.
