'The Bachelorette: The Men Tell All' Recap: Keeping it 100
Yahoo TV 10 hours ago
We feel you, Josiah.
"Look, I have no problem being opinionated," says Iggy. "My responsibility at the time was to be honest with this woman that I was really, really attracted to… I would do it again." I wonder if he would say the same thing about choosing to wear that Mr. T chain to the taping.
If you went to refill your wine glass during Iggy's brief moment in the spotlight, hustle on back to the couch now, because it's time for Kenny vs. Lee. Or more accurately, it's time for the other guys to talk s**t about Lee and his less-than-inclusive attitudes. "Kenny might have been the most well-liked guy in the house, and it's hard to say the same about Lee," says Dean, who was apparently nominated by Team Bachelorette to be their Spokesperson Against Racism. "And when you have literally 30 people on your side versus one person, it's clear who the person in the right is and who is wrong."
While Adam jumps in to say that Lee's claim that Kenny tried to pull him out of a van in Hilton Head was simply "not true," DeMario comes to the tiny white Southerner's defense: "When all my s**t was going on, Lee reached out to me first," he says. "The Lee I know was a very genuine guy." Will agrees, saying that he had a decent relationship with Lee for most of the show, and that he was surprised and "disappointed" to learn about Lee's racist tweets. Even Kenny notes that his conflict with Lee "didn't feel like racism… It really just felt like, this dude's out of his league."
This goes on and on, with the Kenny asserting that he did his best to take the high road so as not to disgrace himself in the eyes of his daughter, McKenzie, and the guys insisting that they never once witnessed Kenny being "aggressive." Lee, meanwhile, hasn't said anything — and when he finally does start talking, it's clear he's in Redemption Tour mode. First, Lee admits that Kenny didn't actually try to pull him out of a van ("Yeah, no s**t," notes Kenny drily), and then he apologizes for not being a "better friend."
Okay thanks, Captain Understatement. And then, in an effort to wash away all the bitterness of the Lee-Kenny feud, Harrison surprises Kenny with the news that McKenzie is actually backstage. And you guys, she's carrying a rose for her Dad.
Dammit, I hate when this stupid show makes me cry! "I'm proud of you," McKenzie tells her Dad. "You were, like, number eight." And her little face, when Chris Harrison announces that the show is sending them to Disneyland to celebrate Kenny's birthday?
My stone-cold heart just can't handle this much sweetness. Good thing it's time to talk to Lee.
"I should have been a better friend," Lee repeats, after noting that sometimes his "facetious" sense of humor does not come across well. Yeah, the guys aren't buying it. "While the episodes were airing, you did not take to social media once to denounce anything that you were saying or doing," snaps Dean. "In fact, you were promoting your actions every single time on Instagram… Now that you're in the hot seat, now that 18 people are calling you on your s**t, this is the moment when you're saying sorry." Dean's got an excellent point, but I almost missed it because I was so busy puzzling over his bizarre hair.
Anyhow, all the guys want Lee to truly apologize — not just for "ruffling feathers" in the house, but also for things like this:
"For me to read that out loud makes me feel unbelievable uncomfortable," says Harrison. "When you see it now… how do you feel about it?" Oh, you know, Lee feels like he has "a lot to learn" in "that area" (meaning, what, common human decency?) and that his statements were "inconsiderate." But once again, the Men Tell All's titular men are not having it. "Everybody's sorry when they get caught," says Kenny. Josiah takes it a step further, walking on to the stage and sitting down next to Lee on the couch. If Lee really believes the NAACP is like the KKK — "people who hung my ancestors," notes Josiah — why did he come on a show with a black Bachelorette?
"I don't like racism at all," counters Lee. "And when I woke up and I saw that those [tweets] came out, it hurt me a lot, and I started thinking about how reckless…"
At this point, Lee is shouted down by the other bachelors, who know they didn't just hear Lee say those racist tweets hurt him. "When you woke up the next day and you realized that you sent those racist-ass tweets, the next day did you go, 'I, Lee, denounce these tweets'?" asks DeMario. "Or did you wait a year and nine days to be on this stage right now, and now are you saying it?"
Clearly the answers to those questions are "No" and "yes," but instead Lee mumbles something about not intending "for it to come out the way that it did. It cut it in half when it released it onto Twitter from my Facebook." Okay, so the message was truncated — so whatdid Lee intend for it to mean, in its full and glorious context?
Yeah, Lee's got nothin' — unless, for some reason, Team Bachelorette edited his answer out. He will say he denounces those tweets, and reiterates that the KKK tweet was only part of his full post on FB. (But what did the rest of that post say? He doesn't explain, and as far as I can tell his personal profile page is private.) So Anthony tries the direct approach to get Lee to say something — anything — reflective about his past behavior: "Are your actions motivated by racist thoughts that are implicitly embedded in your mentality?"
Short answer: Maybe? "I was lacking, and I did things that were wrong," says Lee. "I am grateful that I have people in my life now that make me not like I was when I made a racist comment. I completely denounce that, and I denounce that Lee. And… I want to learn." Lee adds that he's sorry for being "ignorant in those subjects" — and the guys finally decide to accept his apology.
Okay, great. Let us never speak of this drama again. We have more pressing matters to cover: Like Dean's heartbreak. (And his camo tux.) ((And his hair.)) I know, I know, I should leave the poor guy alone — especially when he's talking so thoughtfully about his very emotional hometown visit. "That was the realest, most raw moment that I had throughout the entire experience," says Dean. "Had I not gone there with Rachel, I don't think that I ever would have addressed the feelings that I had suppressed for so long." Harrison doesn't dwell too long on the catharsis, though, because he wants to make sure everyone knows Dean will be in Paradise with these bozos come August 14:
Hey, look who's here — the Queen herself!
Rachel's barely up there a minute though before Dean joins her to learn more about why she sent him packing in Dallas. "I am just still kind of confused about why you told me you were falling in love with me, and then I got the boot, like, four days later." Of course, as Rachel tries to explain herself, all I could do was study Dean's entire lewk.
Though Rachel insists she meant it when she said she was falling in love with him too, Dean wonders now if she just said it because she felt bad for him after the disastrous family visit. "I'm sorry that's how you feel," she responds. "But if you know me, I never say anything just to say something — at all."
They hug it out, and Harrison pivots to DeMario. "Who?" asks Rachel jokingly.
Rachel dismisses her former suitor with a shrug. "For me, the dishonesty was like, 'All right, you gotta go.'" Roger that!
As for The Kenny and Lee Situation, Rachel tells Kenny she was "disappointed" in how he handled it — because he's clearly the bigger man (literally and figuratively). "Lee was Lee," she says. "I wish you could have just realized that was background noise."
As for Lee? Well, sir, don't come for our Bachelorette (or her men) unless she sends for you. "I'd be more than happy to give you a black history lesson," says Rachel. "A lesson on women's rights — you know what I'm saying?"
God willing, this will be the last we hear from this dude.
Harrison wraps things up by letting some of the other guys ask whatever burning questions they have for Rachel — but mostly they all just want to say how great she is and how they understand why she made the choices she did. All of them, that is, except for Fred. He's pretty annoyed that Rachel didn't give him a chance. "I thought that because I knew you, that I could bring a level of comfort to you," he says. "But the reaction that you gave me was one that I least expected." Still, he's "so happy" to see her happy, so yay?
Let's give Kenny the last word.
Damn right. Now, on to the bloopers!
The best of the bloopers involve food: Josiah stuffing his face with oysters and Norwegian hors d'oeuvres, Rachel munching chips while preparing to send Josiah home, and Dean's disgusting gum storage. ("How is that gross? It's my ear." Blech.)
Speaking of gross, Team Bachelorette made sure to zoom in on DeMario just as Harrison faked out the crowd by announcing a "sneak peek of the exciting and already controversial new season of Bachelor in Paradise."
You can exhale, pal — the promo won't air until next week.
Welp, rose lovers, we've almost made it to the end — and I want to know what you thought about tonight's Men Tell All. Did Lee redeem himself at all? Should Dean skip Paradise and head right to the Bachelor mansion? And am I paranoid to think that Mike Fleiss is already grooming McKenzie to be the Bachelorette in about 15 years? Post your thoughts now! And stay tuned for Chris Harrison's behind-the-scenes blog, coming Tuesday. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go watch that Dave Chappelle routine about OJ.
The Bachelorette airs Mondays at 8 p.m

Analytics for income
quack 22 January 2021 16:21 #1
I would like to also monitor the income. For example in N26 not only you can see where you spend, but also your income sources.
Monitoring the income sources over time would be nice.
Maybe even comparing what comes in and what comes out, in order to have a net analyics.
MihneaT 29 March 2022 13:20 #2
I totally agree. If you pay a friend's expenses and then they transfer their share back, analytics will still display everything you spent, not deducting what your friend transferred to your account. This makes analytics useless most months. Net analytics would be way more insightful than the current option.

Agreed, it's the same for vaults if you put money in a vault and withdraw it it will be counted twice.

Chapter 7 bankruptcy, also called liquidation bankruptcy, can permanently wipe out medical debts as well as credit card balances, payday loans, cash advances, auto loans and mortgages. The trustee of the case will liquidate the debtor's assets, with some exceptions, in order to pay debts to the extent possible. In many cases, the debts are eliminated without repayment and the debtor is allowed to keep important assets.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is designed for people who earn regular income. It allows debtors to repay their debts in monthly installments, paid to the trustee for a period of between three and five years. In a Chapter 13 case, the debts are managed and paid down. The debtor is not always required to pay debts in full.
The action of filing a bankruptcy case triggers an automatic stay of collections efforts. Creditors can no longer attempt to collect from the debtor other than through the bankruptcy court. For people in Tennessee who are struggling to pay down personal debt, there may be various solutions. An attorney with experience in bankruptcy law may be able to help by examining the facts of the situation and laying out options for reducing debts. Legal counsel could also negotiate debt settlements with creditors.

Kristen Bell & Dax Shephard's 'CHiPs' Adaptation Is Going To Be The Cutest Thing Ever
ADRIAN SANCHEZ-GONZALEZ/AFP/Getty Images
If you're at all into the world of celebrity, you likely have a favorite Hollywood couple, whether or not you want to admit it. Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard have been one of mine since the sloth birthday present days, and they've stayed at the top of the list ever since. There's just something about them together that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside and I don't know why. Not only do they seem totally in love, but they also come off as genuinely nice people and talented artists, to boot. If you agree, then you'll be thrilled to hear that Bell has joined Shepard's CHiPs movie, which is basically the best news ever.
Shepard is directing and starring in the big screen adaptation of the popular TV series CHiPs, which is about two highway patrol officers and the adventures they share while out there fighting crime. Michael Pena and Vincent D'Onofrio are also taking part, but Bell's addition is possibly the most exciting news ever because there's nothing I love more than a celebrity couple working together. Bell and Shepard aren't the first, of course — they're joining a long and illustrious list of husband/wife Hollywood duos.
Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt — Mr. & Mrs. Smith
Branglina are one of the best known and most beloved Hollywood couples out there, and Mr. & Mrs. Smith happen to be the movie set on which they met and fell in love. It was a dodgy situation, sure, but you can't stand in the way of true love, and their on screen chemistry in this movie is too hot.
Nicole Kidman & Tom Cruise — Eyes Wide Shut
MICHEL GANGNE/AFP/Getty Images
Sure, Tom and Nicole aren't together anymore, but boy were they magic while they lasted. Eyes Wide Shut was a really weird movie, but also a really sexy one and one that I bet they're still glad they made it together while their love was strong.
Rita Wilson & Tom Hanks — Sleepless In Seattle
Kris Connor/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Rita and Tom actually played brother and sister in this movie, which is extra hilarious. It isn't the only time they've worked together (they've produced several films together), but it is one of the best and I always crack up every time I see it.
Melissa McCarthy & Ben Falcone — Bridesmaids
Mark Davis/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Melissa and Ben are another one of my favorite Hollywood couples. They have such great chemistry and really bounce off one another's energy, and I remember cracking up watching them in Bridesmaids — they were my favorite part of the movie! They were also amazing together in Tammy. Basically, I'll watch anything they star in.
Ben Stiller & Christine Taylor — Zoolander
Ian Gavan/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
I don't even think I realized that Ben and Christine were married when I first watched Zoolander, but I do know they were hilarious and when I did find out that they're together in real life, it totally made sense. They've also worked together in Tropic Thunder and Dodgeball, so clearly it's working on screen as well as off.
Tim Burton & Helena Bonham Carter — Alice In Wonderland
AFP/AFP/Getty Images
Actually, the list of movies Tim and Helena have worked together on over the years is way too long. Basically all of his movies have starred Helena in some form or another. They met when Tim cast Helena in one of his remakes of Planet of the Apes, and since then they went on to do Big Fish, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Dark Shadows, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, and Corpse Bride together. Whew!
All of that being said, I'm still looking forward to seeing Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard together in CHiPs and basically anything else they want to do. I believe in their love that much!

Leeds cannot afford to test Phillips' loyalty
Post by YorkshireSquare » Wed Dec 04, 2019 12:09 pm
Kalvin Phillips has been one of the foundation pieces of Leeds' push for promotion to the Premier League. Marcelo Bielsa has built his team around the midfielder and it has been one of the key factors propelling the Whites into the top two of the Championship just over a third of the way into the campaign.
Everyone remembers how the club were in a similar position in the second tier last term, only to fall away in the closing stages of the season. Therefore, Bielsa and his side have to ensure that they seize upon their window to get promoted to the top flight otherwise it could result in players of the ilk of Phillips leaving Elland Road.
The 23-year-old has been linked with a number of clubs in the Premier League. Manchester United are one of the sides that are said to have a serious interest in the midfielder, and that is a heart-breaking thought for all Leeds fans with the potential of seeing one of their best prospects in recent years moving across the Pennines to play for the Red Devils.
It would take a club of that calibre to lure him away or potentially one even higher in the table as Manchester United are currently an outsider in the Premier League betting odds to finish in the top four. A side such as Leicester would also appeal given their revolution under Brendan Rodgers, which has seen the Foxes move back into contention for the Premier League crown.
Fortunately for Bielsa, Phillips has declared his loyalty to Leeds. He has insisted that he's not looking to move on in the near future. The midfielder has good reason to say that with Leeds currently on course to end their 16-year absence from the top flight.
Phillips is the key man in a system under of one of the interesting and enigmatic managers in the sport. He owes a great deal to the club for bringing through the academy. As long as they are trending in the right direction and the 23-year-old continues to thrive under the Argentine, there's no reason for him to look elsewhere.
However, the window of opportunity for promotion can close fast. Sheffield Wednesday were close on a couple of occasions to returning to the elite, but missed out and have been treading water in mid-table since. Derby County and Reading are other sides that failed to capitalise on their openings, which resulted in the loss of players along the way.
Phillips is happy to remain at Leeds for now, but if the club suffers another collapse in the second half of the campaign, he may have to consider his future. He will not want to waste time playing in the second tier when he could potentially feature for a team in the top half of the Premier League or even better one vying for the crown and in the Champions League.
The 23-year-old will also have ambitions to play for England and that is unlikely to come in the Championship. His loyalty to the club is refreshing and long may it continue, but Bielsa and co. cannot put it to the test for the long term.


"Beautiful restaurant in an old bank with a neat old vault you can see plus stained glass original to the building. Nice variety on the cocktail menu, I had a mule and it was very good. We had seafood for the main course that tasted fresh. It was worth saving room for dessert too! We had an cheesecake that tasted better than homemade."
"Had party for 26, recommend staff, chef, and servers!! Great time. Thanks Jude, Danny, Jet, and staff. I'm coming back soon."
"Wait staff was awesome. Great atmosphere. Food was very good."
"We love to start the weekend here. Lovely atmosphere, which is big for me. Food is excellent. My husband has had his company party here for the past two years and they have gone beyond expectations."
"Wonderful example of an upscale dining establishment in cedar rapids. We had the shrimp scampi and lobster prusciuto pasta and both were excellent. Combined with an ample wine selection and quite possibly the best tiramasu I've ever had, it is definitely a fine choice for an intimate dinner or a quick drink."
"Best service, best music acoustics, best chef service, and most of all the best prime rib. Absolutely no complaints"
"5 stars for the service! Very attentive and knowledgeable. Spoke to the chef and he recommended an excellent vegetable dish w risotto. Chef, your risotto was on point!!! We will be back."
"Beautiful building and wonderful Italian food. The cheese manicotti and salted caramel creme brulee were delicious!"
"Must visit. Gorgeous building, fantastic atmosphere, incredible service, amazing food. Server said he'd put their steaks up against any steakhouse in Chicago and was correct. Definitely my new favorite restaurant in Cedar Rapids."
"Wow, what an amazing experience. Ate in the vault, very impressed. Food was great."
"Ordered the saffron seafood risotto. Loved the flavor and the seafood was all excellent. My wife had the shrimp picatta and really enjoyed that as well. Our server gave a great recommendation for a wine."
"Atmosphere is wonderful. The food is excellent and the wait staff is attentive"
"The service was speedy - food amazing - atmosphere calm and inviting. Definetly recommend checking out."
"Great bartenders and servers! Highly recommend going to Popoli if you're looking for high quality drinks and food!"

Posts Tagged 'Levon Helm'
'My Love's Got No Season . . .'
As far as I know, the first time I ran into the very good song "Even A Fool Would Let Go" was in February of 1990, when I happened upon a copy of Levon Helm's self-titled 1982 album in Anoka, Minnesota. The album didn't entirely impress me – I think it's one of Levon's lesser efforts, which is kind of a mystery, given the presence of the Muscle Shoals crew and Steve Cropper and production by Duck Dunn – but the song, the third track on the album, grabbed me:
And as Levon's version came to my attention in the past few days, I thought I'd dig around a little bit. The song, written by Kerry Chater and Tom Snow, was first recorded by Gayle McCormick, the former lead singer for Smith, for her 1974 album One More Hour.
There are more covers beyond Levon's, of course, although not as many as I thought there would be. But my attention is flagging this morning, and the painters are here. I'll get back to "Even A Fool Would Let Go" in one of the next few days.
Tags:Gayle McCormick, Levon Helm
Posted in 1974, 1982, Covers, Video | No Comments »
There's been kind of a slow-motion Levon Helm festival going on here for the past few months. A while back, I picked up a CD/DVD combination pack titled Love for Levon: A Benefit to Save the Barn, documenting an October 2012 concert aimed at raising funds to preserve the Woodstock recording studio and performance venue of the late musician, who passed on earlier that year.
The line-up for the show was pretty impressive. Along with the Levon Helm band, which counts as one of its members Levon's daughter, Amy Helm, those who performed included Roger Waters, Mavis Staples, Garth Hudson, Marc Cohn, Gregg Allman, John Mayer, Ray LaMontagne, Dierks Bentley, John Hiatt, Jakob Dylan, Jorma Kaukonen, Grace Potter and quite a few more.
It took me a couple days to get through the concert, as I generally do my DVD watching for an hour or so late in the evening after the Texas Gal has retired for the night. And of course, tracks from the CDs of the show occasionally popped up randomly before, during and since the time I finished the film. My favorite performances? Three of them stand out: Marc Cohn's "Listening to Levon," which comes from his 2007 album Join The Parade; Mavis Staples' take on "Move Along Train," a 1966 Staple Singers' track covered by Levon on his final album, 2009's Electric Dirt; and Grace Potter's rendition of "I Shall Be Released," which The Band recorded for its 1968 debut, Music From Big Pink.
Another DVD I've been taking in even more slowly is the 2011 release titled Ramble At The Ryman, chronicling a 2008 performance by Levon and his band – with a few guests – at the famed Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee, the one-time home of the Grand Old Opry. As does Love For Levon, the Ramble At The Ryman draws significantly on the catalog of The Band as well as wide swaths of American folk and country music. I'm not sure why I'm going more slowly on viewing Ramble At The Ryman; perhaps it's because I had the CD of the performance long before I got the DVD, and there are no real surprises. (Conversely, I got Love For Levon as a CD/DVD package, so most performances on the DVD were new as I watched.)
But there was a third portion to the Levonfest this week. Digging in the catalog of the local Great River Regional Library, I found the DVD Ain't In It For My Health, a film by Jacob Hatley that shows Levon at home in Woodstock and on the road in early 2008 as Levon is recording Electric Dirt. During the film's shooting, Levon learns that The Band will be given a Lifetime Achievement Grammy and that his 2007 album Dirt Farmer was nominated for (and won) a Grammy for best traditional folk album. He dismisses the lifetime achievement award as – I think I have the quote correct – "something for the folks in the suits," but he's clearly delighted near the end of the film to hear the news about the Grammy for Dirt Farmer.
Beyond those bits, two portions of Ain't In It For My Health stick with me: There is a sequence showing Levon with some of his farming neighbors, and at one point, Levon drives one of their tractors around a field with a huge grin on his face. And several times during the shooting, we see Levon and Larry Campbell of the Levon Helm Band working on an unfinished Hank Williams song called "You'll Never Again Be Mine."
The unfinished lyrics were among those found by a janitor for Sony/ATV Music Publishing in 2006. After some legal wrangling, Sony sent the lyrics to Bob Dylan, asking him to complete the songs. Levon was one of those invited to take part in the project, along with Alan Jackson, Norah Jones, Vince Gill, Rodney Crowell and others. Ain't In It For My Health shows several brief scenes of Levon and Campbell crafting a melody and filling in lyrics for the song's bridge.
And in the last portions of the film, we see other members of Levon's band laying down their parts for the track. Near the end of the film, Levon, with his voice diminished by age and ravaged by illness but still vital, adds the lead vocal.
Here's how "You'll Never Again Be Mine" turned out on the 2011 album The Lost Notebooks Of Hank Williams. It's today's Saturday Single.

'White'
And so, after several delays, we land on "White," the last of nine chapters in Floyd's Prism, looking at songs whose titles feature the seven colors of the spectrum plus black and white.
As with nearly all of the previous entries, when we sort the tracks in the RealPlayer, we get a total of 766. That's many more than we need, but many of them, we cannot use. Some show up, as I noted the other day, because they're tagged with the notation, "Ripped from vinyl by whiteray." But others, equally unuseable, show up for other reasons.
Some have words in their titles that are close to "white," including eleven versions of "A Whiter Shade of Pale." And we'll also pass on "Whitestone Bridge," a 1973 tune from the Irish band Tír na nÓg; "Whitewash," a 1976 outing by the Gin Blossoms; and two versions of Curtis Mayfield's 1971 offering, "Mighty Mighty (Spade And Whitey)."
Out goes everything by the Average White Band, Tony Joe White, country singer Joy Lynn White, vintage singers Bukka White, Josh White and Georgia White, harp legend Charlie Musselwhite, Edgar Winter's White Trash, current performer Jack White and country singer Lari White. We also dismiss the great "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now" by McFadden & Whitehead, a few vintage tracks by Paul Whitehead & His Orchestra and two tracks from Lavelle White, one on Duke from 1958 and the other from her 2003 album, Into the Mystic. And we pass by every track in the collection by Barry White; we could have kept his "Rhapsody in White," but we decided against it.
What else? Three albums titled Black & White, by the BoDeans, the Pointer Sisters and the previously mentioned Tony Joe White, fall by the wayside, as do Shawn Phillips' 1973 album Bright White (we posted the title tune here the other week), Michael Omartian's 1974 effort White Horse, most of David Gray's 200 album White Ladder and Gene Clark's 1971 offering White Light. We also pass by the Cowboy Junkies' 1986 album Whites Off Earth Now!! and numerous singles on the White Whale label.
So we take what's left, which turns out to be plenty for our purposes this morning.
I mentioned David Gray's 2000 album White Ladder above. It's a CD that's truly not strayed far from our player during the years since it came out, a tuneful and literate album. The best-known track on the record is no doubt "Babylon," which made seven different Billboard charts, reaching No. 57 on the Hot 100 and No. 8 on the Adult Top 40. While the title track is nowhere near as well-known (and doesn't have nearly as great a hook as "Babylon," to be honest), "White Ladder" is still a good track from an artist whose body of work has sometimes been uneven (and sometimes gets a little repetitive, to be honest).
Nearly seven years ago, during the first weeks of this blog's existence, I told the tale of my grandfather and his buying a birthday present for my sister, a 45 rpm record that turned out to be the tales of the Three Little Pigs and Little Red Riding Hood written by Steve Allen and then told by Al "Jazzbo" Collins in early 1950s jazz and hipster lingo. The 1953 record was an unlikely hit, and it spun off more such performances. Today's selection is "Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs" as told by Collins later that same year. The story came from the pen of Douglas Jones, whose ear for the hipster argot was, to my own ears, not as sharp as was Allen's. Still, it's a fun trip through the woods to the dwarves' rib shack.
There's not a lot more for me to say about the late Levon Helm. Today's sorting brought up Helm's take on the Carter Stanley tune "White Dove," from Helm's 2009 album, Electric Dirt. The album went to No. 36 on the Billboard 200 and was awarded a Grammy as the Best Americana Album in 2010.
From 2009 we drop back sixty-eight years to what is certainly the most sentimental song in this set of six. But then, wartime can do that, and "(There'll Be Bluebirds Over) The White Cliffs of Dover" is one of the quintessential songs of World War II. Written in 1941 by Walter Kent and Nat Burton, the tune reflects the unease of Britons facing Nazi Germany alone and expresses hope for a return to normal life after the war. Though other versions might have become better known on this side of the Atlantic, especially the version by the Glenn Miller Orchestra, the version by Vera Lynn – the original, I believe – is the one that the Brits loved, despite the sad fact that bluebirds are not indigenous to the British Isles and have never flown over the tall white cliffs. Lyricist Burton, notes Wikipedia, was an American who seemingly didn't know any better, but no matter: Since 1941, "(There'll Be Bluebirds Over) The White Cliffs of Dover" anyway.
Chad Mitchell was, as his name reminds us, the founder of the Chad Mitchell Trio, a folk group that placed eight albums in the Billboard 200 between 1962 and 1965 (the last two charting after Mitchell left and the group was renamed just the Mitchell Trio (and included among its members at that time John Denver). Mitchell at that point embarked on a solo career, and one of the artifacts of that rather unsuccessful effort is the 1969 album Chad. The album, writes Richie Unterberger at All Music Guide, was "an odd match of Mitchell's crooning folk vocals with covers of then-recent folk-rock-ish songs by Joni Mitchell ('Both Sides Now'), Dino Valente ('Let's Get Together'), and far more obscure titles like Tim Buckley's 'Goodbye & Hello,' H.P. Lovecraft's 'The White Ship,' Jim & Jean's 'What's That Got to Do with Me,' and the Association's 'Bus Song'." It's the Lovecraft tune that draws us in this morning. The album-opener, "The White Ship" is, in its weird and unmarketable (but oddly compelling) way, 1969 summed up in three minutes and thirty-eight seconds.
From 1969's folk-rock self-indulgence, we head to 1957 and a concise country anthem, "A White Sport Coat & A Pink Carnation" by Marty Robbins. The tale of the young fellow all spiffed up for the dance only to have his gal waltz off with someone else was No. 1 on the Billboard country charts for five weeks in mid-1957. It was one of a remarkable eighty-three records Robbins placed in the country Top 40; the record also went to No. 2 on the Hot 100, where Robbins had thirty-six records in or near the chart over the years.

'Violet'
As promised yesterday, we'll continue today with the next installment of Floyd's Prism, and when we search in the mp3 stacks for tunes with "violet" in their titles, we get a minimal result: only thirty-six titles.
And most of them have to be discarded, as is generally the case. First off the pile are a couple of singer-songwriter albums: Madison Violet's Americana-tinged 2009 album, No Fool For Trying, and Sarah Alden's 2012 effort, Fists Of Violets, which is more difficult to characterize.
Then, we lose some individuals tracks whose titles come close: "Violetta" from the 1962 album A Taste of Honey by exotica master Martin Denny; "Goodbye To the War; Goodbye To the Violets" from the 1973 album Weltschmerzen by the People's Victory Orchestra & Chorus; "Violets for Your Furs" from Frank Sinatra's 1954 album, Songs for Young Lovers; U2's "Ultraviolet (Light My Way)" from the 1992 album, Achtung Baby; and versions of Eric Andersen's "Violets of Dawn" from the Robbs (1967), Rick Nelson (1969), Mary Chapin Carpenter (2009) and Andersen himself (1966, as noted here yesterday).
That leaves us with six tracks, which was our target. So on we go.
The British-based folk rock band Eclection recorded only one album during its two-year (1967-69) existence, but the self-titled album, released in 1968, is pretty good and not as Brit-centered as one might expect. In the liner notes for the 2001 reissue of the album, Richie Unterberger wrote, "The combination of male-female harmonies, optimistic lyrics with shades of romantic psychedelia, folk-rock melodies, acoustic-electric six- and twelve-string guitar combinations, and stratospheric orchestration couldn't help but bring to mind similar Californian folk-pop-rock of the mid-to-late 1960s." The track "Violet Dew" doesn't quite cover all of those bases, but it covers a lot of them. Perhaps the most noticeable thing as I listen this morning is the remarkable voice of singer Kerrilee Male, who left the band later in 1968 to go home to Australia and seemingly, from anything I can find online this morning, never recorded again.
Shawn Phillips' work from the early 1970s has shown up frequently in this space (though perhaps not for a while), but his later work not so much. That's unfortunate, as Phillips' later work is worth hearing. The difference, I suppose, is that his work from the latter portion of the 1970s does not carry the same time-and-place weight for me as does his earlier stuff; I didn't hear much of the later work at the time it came out. Still, nearly every time something pops up from his late 1970s albums, I'm glad it did so. Today, it's "Lady in Violet" from his 1978 album Transcendence, about which I said in 2007: "It's a pretty good album, of a piece with the rest of his work, although the lyrics don't seem to stand up as well . . . . Musically, it's enjoyable with a breath-taking moment or two." Whether any of those moments show up in "Lady in Violet" is your call, I guess. I think they do.
Without doubt, the finest offering among the six surviving "Violet" tracks is "Violet Eyes" by Levon Helm. Found on his 1980 album, American Son, the track offers harmonies and an overall feeling that echo the best albums of The Band. According to All Music Guide, the track was recorded in Nashville: "While recording a few songs for the movie Coal Miner's Daughter, in which he played Loretta Lynn's father, Levon Helm and friends just kept the tape rolling." And as I listen this morning, I wonder why no solo tracks from Helm showed up on my long-ago Ultimate Jukebox. So, in what I imagine could be – perhaps should be – the last instance of Jukebox Regrets, I'll acknowledge that "Violet Eyes" and "Even A Fool Would Let Go" (from Helm's 1982 self-titled album) should have been part of the Ultimate Jukebox.
Maybe it doesn't happen so much anymore (or maybe I just don't see it), but a few years ago the simple mention of Coldplay at a forum or bulletin board – during a time when that band was perhaps the most popular band in the world – would spark arguments, dismissive comments and utter vitriol aimed at Chris Martin and his mates. I never understood that. I don't count Coldplay among my favorites, but I don't find the group's music unlistenable. And I do like very much several tracks from the group, including "Violet Hill" from the 2008 album Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends.
To label something as "glossy Americana" might be a contradiction, but that's what I hear when I listen to the 2011 CD Barton Hollow by the duo called the Civil Wars. The album by Joy Williams and John Paul White offers mostly rootsy ballads that seem to have been worked over until they shine, which is not an awful idea, but some part of me wants a few unsanded and unvarnished bits in my folk music. Still, I find Barton Hollow enjoyable, and that holds true for the instrumental "The Violet Hour" this morning.
I'm not sure how I got hold of Jeremy Messersmith's 2010 album, The Reluctant Graveyard. There are a number of public relations firms that email me regularly, offering CDs or downloads, so I'm assuming that's how I heard of Messersmith, who is based in Minneapolis. And having done some digging and some closer listening this morning, I have to add Messersmith – who's gained a lot of critical acclaim in the past few years – to that long list of musicians to whom I should pay greater attention. As to this morning's task, "Violet!" is one of the better tracks on The Reluctant Graveyard. Here's the (rather quirky) official video:

Saturday, April 21st, 2012
The news, as I would guess most readers here will know by now, came from the family of Levon Helm last Tuesday, April 17:
Levon is in the final stages of his battle with cancer. Please send your prayers and love to him as he makes his way through this part of his journey . . .
Thank you, fans and music lovers who have made his life so filled with joy and celebration . . . he has loved nothing more than to play, to fill the room up with music, lay down the back beat, and make the people dance! He did it every time he took the stage . . .
And Thursday, April 19, there was a simple message at Helm's website, under a picture of a smiling Levon posed at the edge of a cornfield, a portrait taken during the photo session for his 2007 album, Dirt Farmer. The message read:
Levon Helm passed peacefully this afternoon. He was surrounded by family, friends and band mates and will be remembered by all he touched as a brilliant musician and a beautiful soul.
Since then, I've read fifteen, maybe twenty tributes to the man and accounts of his life. I can no longer separate my thoughts about Levon Helm from those I've garnered from everything I've read this week. (The best of those pieces is by Charles P. Pierce at the website of Esquire magazine; my pal jb at The Hits Just Keep On Comin' pointed me there.) So I fear repetition or, worse yet, thievery as I write this morning.
I was lucky enough to see Levon perform three times: The first time, in 1989, found him one of the members of Ringo's first All-Starr Band; he and fellow Band-mate Rick Danko did a superlative performance of "The Weight" with solos from Dr. John on piano and Clarence Clemons on saxophone. Twice, then, during the 1990s, I saw the latter version of The Band – Levon, Rick and Garth Hudson fleshed out with Richard Bell, Randy Ciarlante and Jim Weider – at the Cabooze in Minneapolis.
Given those memories, and given my long-time affection for the music Levon made with The Band and on his own, his passing this week touched me in a manner that, among musicians, only the passing of John Lennon in 1980 and Clarence Clemons last year had done. Thursday evening's red-eyed soundtrack here in my study came from Levon Helm, with and without The Band.
Many posts ago, I noted here that The Band was recording and performing the music we now call Americana long before anyone appended that label to the music. That holds true for all of Levon's music, of course, and every time he played and sang, he reminded us of who we are in this land, and he reminded us of our connection to that land and to each other, things we seem to have forgotten.
Here's Levon, joined by his daughter Amy, with the final track from Dirt Farmer, "Wide River To Cross." It's today's Saturday Single.

The Browns won a convincing victory last Sunday over the Lions. I'm wearing a resplendent three-piece suit. Let's contact the writing staff to recognize the incredible accomplishments of this Cleveland Browns team so far. Sadly, we were not able to order spray-painted little football dudes on top of blocks of wood, but the trophies remain in all our hearts. Well, on to our awards…
J.K. Rowling Truly Offensive MVP: This was the year the term "offensive" reached new heights and also new lows. Who is the best offensive player so far this illustrious season?
Ohio: Wyatt Teller & Joel Bitonio. Not sure who else could even be considered given all the injuries and disappointments.
Dan Cooksey: I'm hot about this team right now, and I'm super hot that their dud WR star is talking about needing more targets.
Well for me personally, I give the award to Baker Mayfield. It must be incredibly hard to play with one arm in constant pain. I got a hard foul in a basketball game a month ago and haven't done a damn athletic thing since.
Cedar Point Roller Coaster Award: Yes, one of our areas most treasured local companies…
Supersurge: Baker Mayfield.
No explanation? I'm becoming concerned. Our sponsors may not like this negative tone, gentlemen.
Chris Richani: Skyline Chili Award: Baker Mayfield for always performing in Cincinnati, but often regarded as crappy outside of Ohio.
Undeniable negative tone… this is going off the rails…

Donald Trump Extremely Defensive MVP: What a night, what a buffet. Have you tried the tiny meatballs? Anyway, our next award is for defense.
Ohio: Myles Garrett, the current leader in the DPOTY race.
Anybody else want to chime in? Nope. I'd like to mention that this award ceremony is flush with local sponsor money. I will give it to Denzel Ward who has accelerated his understanding of zone concepts so well in the past month. We will take a quick break and I hope other writers will join in.
Mr. Hero Flash-In-The-Pan Award: Well this can't be a real award…
I'm told it is meant for the player who has played a few good games and tricked Cleveland into thinking they might really be good.
Ohio: Greedy Williams. He had that one game against the Vikings and has been bad to irrelevant ever since.
The envelopes are flying in too fast now…
Miracle-Gro Award For defending large areas of grass instead of players, John Johnson III is a victor. Staff: "Not sure there's been a more disappointing player on the Browns this season. His play reminds me of a kid picking dandelions in the outfield. Dude has looked lost all season long."
Elk and Elk Personal Injury Award: Staff: "Give this one to the whole team."
I don't want to… make it stop…
Tim Misny Make Them Pay Award. Case Keenum makes the Haslams pay him the most of any backup QB in the league, but we'd rather trot out a guy with one arm and one leg than opt to play him.
… I don't think this awards ceremony was the best idea. Everyone is suffering from the November Cleveland Curse. Are the Browns also in a weather related funk? Maybe…
What Should We Expect This Week?
This team has a lot going for it. After many injuries, some of the core players are returning to health. We may see Jack Conklin, Kareem Hunt, and Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah this weekend. But is that enough on the road against a Baltimore team fighting for their playoff life? Clearly our staff says no.
The Browns have not been a team to brag about, but our writing has not been afraid to sink to their level! Have a wonderful holiday and I hope we all recover from clear seasonal affective disorder before the playoffs begin.

Philippine Supreme Court Jurisprudence > Year 1908 > March 1908 Decisions > G.R. No. L-4436 March 20, 1908 - UNITED STATES v. FRANCISCO CASTRO DI TIAN LAY
THE UNITED STATES, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. FRANCISCO CASTRO DI TIAN LAY, Defendant-Appellant.
T. Gonzalez, for Appellant.
Attorney-General Araneta, for Appellee.
1. WEIGHTS AND MEASURE; FALSIFICATION. — The fact that the interior space or capacity of a ganta, registered and sealed by the department of weights and measures, was reduced or diminished, for the purpose of defrauding the public, by altering the interior of said measure of capacity which was established for the benefit of the general interests of the inhabitants, constitutes a violation of Act No. 1519 of the Philippine Commission, defined and punished by section 30 of the said act.
TORRES, J. :
Between 10 and 11 a. m. on the 5th of July, 1907, Vicente San Martin and Ramon Valdes, inspectors of weights and measures, visited some stores in Calle Sande, district of Tondo [Manila], and on the arriving at the store of Francisco Castro Di Tian Lay, from the front of the counter they called for measures used therein in order to examine them. The owner of the store delivered the measures, with the exception of a ganta that was on top of a basket of rice kept in the store. The inspectors at once told the storekeeper to present the said ganta, but the accused instead of doing so, took it to interior of the store, and as the inspectors saw from outside that the accused was trying to extract something from the ganta, San Martin ordered his companion to go in and see what it was. The latter then saw that, by means of a knife the Chinaman was taking from the bottom of the ganta a piece of wood fitted and placed therein for the purpose of reducing the capacity of the measure by 9 millimeters: the reduction could even be made greater by raising the said small piece of board from the bottom of the measure. Said measure was a lawful one and bore the official seal of the department of weights and measures, and was the one used by the accused for the sale of rice in his store.
For the above reasons a complaint was filed by one of the inspectors charging Francisco Castro Di Tian Lay with the violation of Act No. 1519 of the Philippine Commission, and the corresponding proceedings were instituted. On the 6th of August, 1907, the court entered judgment and sentenced the accused to the penalty of three months of arresto mayor, and to pay the costs. From said judgment the accused has appealed.
The above facts, which have been fully proven in the present case, constitute a violation of the law cited above, section 30 of which is of the following tenor:jgc:chanrobles.com.ph
"SEC. 30. Any person who, fraudulent intent, alters any scale or balance, weight or measures after it is officially sealed or who knowingly uses false scale or balance, weight or measure, whether sealed or not, or who fraudulently represents the weight or measure of anything to be greater or less than it is, shall be punished by a fine of not less than two hundred pesos nor more than four thousand pesos or by imprisonment for not less than three months nor more than two years, or by both such fine and imprisonment, in the discretion of the court."cralaw virtua1aw library
The measure in question is one of capacity, registered and sealed by the proper department, and in which the accused placed a piece of board of about 9 millimeters in thickness in order to defraud the public by diminishing or reducing the interior or capacity of the said ganta. By such action it is unquestionable that section 30, quoted above, has been violated, it being illegal to alter the capacity of the aforesaid ganta after the same had been registered and sealed by the official department established therefor by the Government, for the benefit of the general interest of the public.
The subject-matter of this proceedings was defined and punished y article 577, Book III of the Penal Code paragraph 3 of which reads as follows:jgc:chanrobles.com.ph
"Traders or vendors who shall keep measures or weights artfully contrived to defraud or who in any manner whatsoever shall violate the rules established for the making of standard weights and measures in the gild to which they belong."cralaw virtua1aw library
However, the above article can not be applied in this case for the reason that it has been repealed by the said Act No. 1519.
Notwithstanding the denial of the accused and his exculpatory allegation supported by the testimony of two witness, the evidence offered by the prosecution fully substantiates his guilt as the principal liable for the violation of the aforesaid law, inasmuch as the evidence of the defense has not destroyed nor weakened that of the prosecution of the aforesaid law, inasmuch as the evidence of the defense has not destroy for the accused were unable to show that the said inspectors had prepared the piece of wood found fitted in the bottom of the ganta; nor is it credible that, in so short a space of time, they could have placed it therein to show that it had a double bottom. It is therefore unquestionable that the piece of wood found within the ganta was placed therein for the purpose of defrauding purchasers, as the accused confessed to the chief of the department that he thought of the device because business was bad, according too the testimony of witness San Martin.
For the foregoing reasons, the judgment appealed from should be affirmed provided, however, that the penalty imposed on the accused shall be simply three months of imprisonment, in accordance with section 30 of Act No. 1519 cited above, with the costs against him. So ordered.
Arellano, C.J., Mapa, Johnson, Carson, Willard and Tracey, JJ., concur.

In Cyprus and Greece, Pope Plans to Send Message on Migrants
Sabina Castelfranco
Pope Francis cheers at a newborn at the end of his weekly general audience in the Paul VI Hall at the Vatican, Dec. 1, 2021.
Pope Francis embarked on a trip to Cyprus and Greece on Thursday. The principal focus of this visit is a theme that has been dear to this pope since the start of his papacy: the world's migration crisis. For the second time in five years, the pope will visit the island of Lesbos which has long been dealing with migrant arrivals.
Pope Francis' first stop on this 5-day trip is Cyprus, which has in recent years seen an increase in migrant arrivals.
The plight of migrants and refugees has been a major concern of the pope since his election in 2013 and he plans to meet with them on this trip. The pope will also be visiting the island of Lesbos in Greece which has also been dealing with an influx of migrant arrivals.
UN Migration Agency: COVID has 'Radically Altered' Mobility
The pope's first visit after being picked to head the Catholic Church was to the small southern Italian island of Lampedusa, near Africa, which has borne the brunt of migrant arrivals for decades. At the time, Pope Francis gave a strong message during a Mass for migrants on the island condemning the "global indifference" to their plight.
The pope has visited Lesbos before, in April 2016, when it was home to the largest refugee camp on the European continent. On that occasion, he brought home with him 12 Muslim refugees from Syria. This time he will be repeating that gesture and has already arranged for about 50 migrants to be relocated to Italy after this visit.
Pope Francis has often called for a "reawakening of consciences," drawing attention to the condition of migrants and the need for the nations to be more responsible and united in assisting migrants. At the same time, he has called for efforts to discourage them from undertaking dangerous sea crossings.

Speaking in a video message before this trip, Pope Francis spoke of all the migrants who have lost their lives at sea. On Wednesday, he referred to the migrants as "our brothers and sisters," and said the Mediterranean Sea — in his words — "Our Mediterranean Sea" — has become a huge cemetery.
Migrant Crisis Front and Center in Pope's Greece-Cyprus Trip
The pope's thoughts went to those who, in recent years, and still today, he said, have been fleeing war and poverty, landing on the shores of the European continent or elsewhere, and who did not find hospitality, but instead hostility and even exploitation.
Pope Francis considers the current migration the biggest humanitarian catastrophe since the Second World War. He has said the only way forward to combat this phenomenon is through fraternity and integration.
The pope will have other empathic messages on this, his 35th international journey as he addresses the majority Greek Orthodox population along with the minority of 30,000 Catholics who also live on the island of Cyprus.
He is expected to speak about the need for people to be open to one another and foster understanding. In meetings with officials in Cyprus, he is also expected to address the long-running conflict between Greek and Turkish Cypriots.
Pope Francis is scheduled to celebrate a Mass on Friday in Nicosia and hold an ecumenical prayer with migrants near the so-called "green line" that separates the last physically divided capital in the world.

← What's Keeping You from a Good Night's Sleep?
Going bed shopping can be tricky enough, but for some people, a conventional flat mattress just isn't enough to choose from. If you happen to need more comfort than what the average mattress can offer, then you may be one of these disappointed shoppers. However, there is an option for you that can dramatically improve the way you sleep.
Most people sleep on flat mattresses that may put pressure on their spines. However, sleeping with the head at an incline, as the National Sleep Foundation recommends, can help take pressure off your back and other points of the body, and it can even help with conditions such as low back pain. The solution? Sleeping in an adjustable bed.
One of the first things you'll likely think about is which size bed will work best for you. Sizes of adjustable beds range from twin adjustable beds to king size beds, so there's a size for everyone. Take into account first who will be sleeping in the bed. If it's only you, then a twin bed may be a good fit. Double, queen, and king size adjustable beds, however, can sleep two comfortably. Mattress types. From pillow top-style beds to memory foam mattresses, and coil spring, there are all kinds of options for your mattress. These mattresses also vary in thickness and firmness, so you get the chance to choose something that's perfect for your comfort level.
All adjustable beds have at least one control, so they can raise and lower the upper and lower body to your specifications. However, queen and king size beds are also available with dual controls, so each partner can choose customized settings for his or her side of the bed. Thankfully, there's no cord connected to the bed that will get twisted or become hard to reach. Adjustable beds with these controls also come with a wireless controller, similar to a TV remote.
