Kilmurry Ibrickane and Doora Barefield will be hoping to book their place for a shot at early season silverware when they face off in the semi final of the WillWeGo.com Cusack Cup. The two sides go head to head in Quilty on Friday evening, with the winner progressing to face Jack Daly holders Éire Óg in the decider. Doora Barefield ran out comprehensive 5-12 to 2-9 when the sides met in the group stages of the campaign earlier in the year. Clare FM's, Derek Dormer expects a stronger showing from Kilmurry this time around.

If you're in the mood for a walk down memory lane with a few laughs and some spicy debates, you've come to the right place! This episode dives into the beloved 1997 movie, Gross Point Blank, starring John Cusack, Minnie Driver, and the ever-charming Dan Aykroyd. With its killer soundtrack and quirky dialogues, it's a film that's close to my heart, though my co-hosts might beg to differ! Join us as we chat about the film's memorable music tracks from The Cure and The Clash, and how they add that extra zing to an already quirky storyline. We'll also be bantering about Cusack's portrayal of a hitman at his high school reunion, and whether or not Dan Aykroyd really steals the show. Whether you love it or not, it's undeniable that this film sparked some vibrant conversation and maybe even controversy among us. 

Actress Sorcha Cusack, part of Ireland's legendary acting dynasty, joined Oliver in studio to talk about her remarkable TV career and her return home to star in 'Escaped Alone' by Caryl Churchill.

SHOW NOTESWhat impact does surgery have on the body?Intentional trauma Physiological response Psychosocial impact StressWhen we think about surgery, it's essential to understand that it triggers a significant reaction in the body known as the 'stress response.' This response is a complex interplay of hormonal and metabolic changes directly linked to the degree of tissue damage during surgery. It can intensify if there are any complications after the operation. Let's break it down: The whole process starts when the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, or HPA axis, kicks into gear. This leads to a surge in hormones like cortisol, growth hormone, glucagon and catecholamines. These hormones are important because they help the body cope with stress by boosting energy availability and adjusting other bodily functions.Ebb phase (0-48hrs)Increased catabolism of stored glycogen (glycogenolysis)Suppression of insulin secretion → transient hyperglycemiaIncreased catecholamines, cortisol, and inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α)Flow phase (3-10 days)Hypermetabolism (increased BMR)Increased protein catabolism → muscle breakdown (to provide amino acids for tissue repair and immune function)Increased lipolysis (fat breakdown) for energySustained insulin resistance → continued hyperglycemiaEnhanced GNG Pro-inflammatory response → increased cytokines and acute-phase protein productionIn the initial stages after surgery, the body releases a wave of pro-inflammatory cytokines. These cytokines jumpstart the healing process by promoting inflammation, which is important for healing surgical wounds. However, to keep this inflammation from going overboard, the body soon follows up with anti-inflammatory cytokines.These inflammatory processes have widespread effects across the body. For example, they can influence how the hypothalamus regulates body temperature or how the liver produces certain proteins that help fight infection and aid in wound healing.But here's where it gets even more interesting: other hormones like glucagon, cortisol, and adrenaline also play a role in modulating these responses. They can affect everything from your blood sugar levels to how your cardiovascular system handles the stress.So, why is all this important? Well, by understanding and managing these responses effectively, we can significantly improve how patients recover from surgery. It's all about helping the body maintain balance during a time when it's incredibly vulnerableDisruption of Metabolic Homeostasis: Surgery often disrupts the body's normal metabolic balance, notably through insulin resistance, where cells fail to respond effectively to insulin, leading to 'diabetes of the injury.' Insulin Resistance and Hyperglycemia: Insulin resistance can cause high blood sugar levels, significantly increasing the risk of surgical complications and mortality. Post-surgery, the body may enter a catabolic state, breaking down muscle instead of fat, which impairs wound healing, weakens the immune system, and reduces muscle strength. Increased Risks for Vulnerable Groups: Elderly, diabetics, and cancer patients are particularly at risk due to their compromised metabolic and inflammatory states. These groups have less physiological reserve, leading to pronounced catabolic states and increased risk of severe post-operative complications. Impact on Recovery and Outcomes: The metabolic chaos from insulin resistance to protein loss not only delays recovery but also exacerbates risks of infection and other complications. Effective management of these changes is crucial for improving surgical outcomes and ensuring that patients thrive post-surgery.ERAS helps to mitigate these by Surgery isn't just about the physical repair or removal of tissue; it triggers a cascade of stress responses in the body that can complicate recovery. These include everything from the psychological impacts of anxiety and the physiological effects of fasting to direct tissue damage and the systemic reactions to it, such as fluid shifts and hormonal imbalances.Key Components of ERAS:Comprehensive Care: ERAS isn't just a single technique but a suite of practices designed to address every aspect of the patient's journey — before, during, and after surgery. This approach aims to minimise the stress responses by controlling pain, reducing fasting times, optimising fluid management, and promoting early mobility.Minimising Fasting: One traditional practice that ERAS revises significantly is the preoperative fasting rule. Old guidelines that required fasting from midnight before surgery are now replaced with more lenient, evidence-based practices that allow intake of clear fluids up to two hours and solids up to six hours before surgery. This change helps maintain normal blood glucose levels, reduces stress, and decreases the body's shift into a catabolic (muscle-degrading) state.Nutritional Optimisation: ERAS protocols emphasise the importance of not entering surgery in a depleted state. By allowing a carbohydrate-rich drink shortly before surgery, patients are better hydrated and less anxious, which in turn reduces insulin resistance and preserves muscle mass — critical factors in speeding up recovery post-surgery. Post-operatively, oral nutrition may be delayed by the medical team until bowel function returns, typically taking close to a week. This delay is stated to reduce postoperative complications such as abdominal distension and nausea/vomiting.For the first several days post surgery fluids of limited nutritional value such as water are provided to patient until tolerance is established leading to insufficient nutrition intake during this time increasing the risk of malnutrition. The ERAS protocol promotes early oral intake within 24 hours post surgery departing from traditional fasting practices. Research suggests that between 40-50% of surgical patients have some degree of malnutrition. Pre-operative malnutrition is an independent predictor of poor post-operative outcomes. Therefore addressing malnutrition is a key component of the ERAS protocol.Immune-Enhancing Diets: Post-surgery nutrition is just as crucial. ERAS encourages diets rich in nutrients that bolster the immune system and enhance wound healing. This includes omega-3 fatty acids, which help modulate the inflammatory response; arginine, which supports protein synthesis and tissue growth; glutamine, which is vital for cellular health and recovery; and nucleotides, which are essential for rapid cell division and immune function .Immuno-nutrition is a specialised medical nutrition therapy that has been shown to adjust the body's inflammatory response: It incorporates specific nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, arginine, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and nucleotides. It's typically recommended starting 5-7 days before surgery and continuing post-operatively for over 7 days or until oral intake meets at least 60% of the patient's nutritional requirements.How can we use this info to optimize surgical outcomes?Patient education Early nutrition pre and post surgery - Minimise fasting time What is ERAS? How does it differ from traditional care/practice?Introduced by Henrik Kehlet in 1997, the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol has revolutionised surgical practices by optimising perioperative care. A key aspect of ERAS is its interdisciplinary approach, involving healthcare professionals from various specialties to minimise surgical stress and facilitate recovery. What is malnutrition?Malnutrition, is defined as an involuntary reduction in body weight, muscle mass and physical capabilities, affects up to 65% of surgical patients and can worsen during hospital stays. Enhancing nutritional status and promoting functional nutrition therapy is essential, even forpatients without evident malnutrition, particularly when prolonged perioperative oral intake challenges arise. Addressing malnutrition is essential for preventing surgical complications, prolongedhospital stays and higher healthcare costs. What are the benefits of ERAS for the patient?It has been shown that the key physiological benefits include:-enhances the body's anabolic processes-promotes wound healing, which is critical for patient recovery.-Reduces the risk of nutritional depletion-Minimises insulin resistance, a common issue post-surgery, allowing for better blood sugar control and improved metabolic function.-Reduce protein catabolism-And lowers the risk of pressure injuries, which can develop due to extended immobility after surgery.What are the benefits of ERAS from a healthcare perspective? From a healthcare perspective, ERAS has been shown to-shorter length of hospital stay for patients,-Lower risk of ICU transfer rates-reduce readmission rates-And all of these improvements lead to lower healthcare costs, not just for the hospital but for the overall healthcare system, as fewer complications and shorter stays reduce the financial strain.Step 1: Screen & StrengthenIf you've lost any weight unintentionally in the lead up to surgery, or been eating poorly because of a reduced appetite, you may be at risk of malnutrition and it's really important to address this prior to surgery. Research suggests that between 40-50% of surgical patients have some degree of malnutrition. Pre-operative malnutrition is an independent predictor of poor post-operative outcomes. Addressing malnutrition is a key component of the ERAS protocol and why it's effective in improving surgical outcomes for patients.Book an appointment with a dietitian who can guide you on appropriate dietary changes to minimise muscle loss, build you up and optimise nutritional status and stores pre-op. A well-nourished body tolerates surgery better, heals faster, has a stronger immune system to fight infection, and experiences fewer complications.Step 2: Consider Immunonutrition If you're planned for major surgery, especially certain cancer and abdominal surgeries, consider the use of an immunonutrition supplement in the 5-7 days pre op. These are the supplements loaded with arginine, n3s, glutamine and nucleotides to support the immune system and reduce inflammatory responses, potentially leading to fewer infections and better recovery.Step 3: Build Your Strength & Energy Stores prior to surgery Carb load with food in the days leading up to surgery - think that big bowl of pasta a footy player would have the night before the grand final. ERAS protocols have significantly reduced or eliminated long periods of "nil by mouth" (NBM) before surgery.Ask your surgical team exactly when you need to stop eating solid food – it might be much later than you think, often around 6 hours before surgery for a light meal. For clear fluids, it could be as little as 2 hours before!We'll make the most of every second to prevent unnecessary dehydration, hunger, anxiety, and preserve your body's energyStep 4: The Pre-Surgery Carb Load using clear fluidsMany ERAS protocols include a special carbohydrate-rich drink taken a few hours before surgery. Your hospital may provide this, but if they don't, we can organise orders for you or point you in the right direction.  It's usually a clear, sweet drink. Think of it as topping off your fuel tank right before the 'race'."These have been shown to reduce post-operative insulin resistance (which can slow healing), help maintain muscle strength, can reduce nausea, and improve overall wellbeing. It basically tells your body it's in a 'fed' state, not a 'starvation' state, heading into surgery.This is best done with tailor made medical nutrition drinks as they come prepped with the correct doses of maltodextrin-polymer carbs and a lower osmolality than other solutions, which essentially means they gentler on your gut and better for gastric emptying so they don't linger in your gut during surgery. Always follow surgical instructions, but ideally we're aiming for 100 grams of carbohydrate the night before surgery and about 50 grams of carbohydrate in clear fluids approximately 2 hours before anesthesia. This might look like 4 x 200ml drinks the night before, and 2 the morning of surgery If you can't access these drinks, apple or cranberry juice are reasonable replacements.  Drop us an email or message or give us a call if you'd like advice on where to get pre-op and immunonutrition supplement drinks. Then we move on to post op and Step 5 which is aiming to eat early.  ERAS encourages starting to eat and drink as soon as it's safe after surgery – often within hours, not days!As soon as your team says it's okay, try sipping water, then progress to other clear fluids, and then light foods as tolerated. Even small, frequent amounts help. This helps to stimulates your gut to start working again, reducing the risk of ileus – a slow, sleepy bowel, provides energy for healing, and can help you feel more normal, faster.If you haven't been told you can eat or drink, keep asking the question! You are your best advocate! Another tip that can help here is step 6:  Chew GumIf your team allows it, start chewing sugar-free gum several times a day once you're able. It sounds simple, but it can be surprisingly helpful in mimicking eating even when you're not allowed to, and can stimulate your digestive system to return to usual function sooner and reduce the risk of ileus.Step 7 is to Nourish to Heal This is where we bring in our good friend protein to optimise tissue repair and recovery Include protein rich food at each meal, and chat to us if you're finding this difficult because there are plenty of hacks if you're not feeling up to chicken breast and steak! And finally step 8 is to Listen to Your BodyWhile ERAS encourages early eating, we always want you to be tuned in to your body's cues and speaking up to your medical team and us if something doesn't feel right. There are plenty of interventions that can be used to keep you comfortable while still optimising your nutrition to get the best outcomes from surgery. Weimann, A., Braga, M., Carli, F., Higashiguchi, T., Hübner, M., Klek, S., et al.

Clare hurling manager Brian Lohan is hopeful to continue to give new players opportunities throughout the league campaign to bolster the overall strength of the panel. Kilkenny exacted a degree of revenge for All Ireland Semi Final and Allianz League Final defeats to the Banner last year, finishing the stronger to seal a two point win in Cusack park yesterday. Both Conor Leen and David McInerney were forced off the field early, adding to the growing injury list within the Clare squad. Lohan says resources are stretched at the moment, however, given the depth of the panel, confidence is high that other players will step up to the mantle.

It's claimed Michael Cusack "Would turn in his grave" over GAA plans to introduce a €5 charge for U-16s at national league games. Clare County Council has this week become the first local authority in Ireland to request that Croke Park scrap the proposals. On the 26th of January, Clare will begin the defence of their National Hurling League title when Kilkenny visit Cusack Park. It will be the first time ever for this competition however that U-16s will be charged to watch the sides in action. Their admission to Division 1A and 1B games will now cost €5 and must be purchased alongside an adult ticket. Whitegate Councillor Pat Burke believes its merely a money making exercise. The GAA announced the policy in December and says the new arrangement will assist with event control and health and safety protocols for fixtures that attract bigger attendances." The move came shortly after an incident in September where a 12-year-old was attacked by a large group at Wexford Park. However the additional charge has sparked anger in the local authority leading to a joint motion from Clarecastle Councillor Paul Murphy, Clarecastle GAA Vice Chairman Cllr Tommy Guilfoyle, Whitegate Cllr Pat Burke, Ennistymon GAA Chair Cllr Shane Talty and O'Callaghan's Mills Cllr Conor Ryan calling for it to be scrapped. Similar motions are expected to pass through all 31 local authorities nationwide this month, but the GAA will not be obligated to change anything. Councillor Paul Murphy told the Council Chamber that Michael Cusack "would turn in his grave" at the very notion of the charges.

It is once again time for THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR! The climactic month of the holiday season that encompasses that yuletide feeling and Angela has picked (most) of the month's selections once again and we kick it off with a rom-com starring the king of rom-coms for much of the 90s and early 2000s. In 2001 you could put out a random John Cusack movie and make $77 million. Oh, how the movie going scene has changed and Mr. Cusack has been through his own changes as well. This 2001 flick is left to the fates as a chance romantic, if ill-timed, encounter goes amazingly well but when it ends it's left to the universe to decide if Jonathan and Sara are meant to be together. It takes a bit but the universe comes around. We're talking the 2001 Christmas rom-com directed by Peter Chelsom called “SERENDIPITY” and Bob struggles a bit with that word. It also stars Kate Beckinsdale, Jeremy Piven, Molly Shannon and John Corbett. Do our hosts get swayed into some holiday charm? Are the hosts forever doomed to suffer under the weight of their “realness”? WTF is Louis Armstrong saying in that song? Do you remember that show “Northern Exposure”?

"The essence of propaganda consists in winning people over to an idea so sincerely, so vitally, that in the end they succumb to it utterly and can never again escape from it," —Joseph GoebbelsIt was on a Sunday that the Nazi army marched into New York City and gathered at Madison Square Garden.They came in all skin colors, white and Black and Brown, and from all different backgrounds, Asian, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, atheists, young and old, rich and poor, Left and Right, gay and straight as American citizens who desperately wanted to taste freedom again, security again, a government that cared about them again, and to Make America Great Again.What they don't know is that they're Nazis. Barbra Streisand and Hillary Clinton have said as much, so isn't it time that they listened?How dare they gather, Hitler-like, at Madison Square Garden to worship at the altar of the fuhrer himself, Donald Trump. That's what the New Yorker says, what the New York Times says, and what John Cusack says.I know what you're thinking. John who? John Cusack. Remember him? Once a heartthrob of sorts back in the 80s? Yeah, that guy.We were all so in love with him. Every boyfriend we ever had was John Cusack in one form or another. But that was then. Things have changed now that fascism has arrived in America.So to protect us from it, Cusack didn't hold up a boom box, no. This time, he woke up in his penthouse, tossed around in his high thread count sheets, gazed upon the streets of Manhattan, and remembered Donald Trump was holding a historic rally at Madison Square Garden. He fumbled for his phone and spit out his testimony:Donald Trump is Hitler, and his supporters are Nazis. How do we know that? That's just what we're all supposed to believe. So far, Trump has done nothing to warrant such an accusation ah, but we don't really care about that. We care about the thing we police at all costs: speech. What Trump says IS fascism. Free speech is fascism.But if you need proof, let's say that Trump has said he will deport the 10 million migrants who flooded through America's weakened border under the Biden/Harris administration. This was after the Democrats spent four years declaring Trump's border policies were RACIST and FASCIST. So when Biden won, why wouldn't they come?It's funny that Americans are thinking about themselves at a time like this. I mean, they should be anti-fascists, putting their own needs aside. The definition of fascism might be all power to the state against the individual, but that's in ordinary times.Power to the state against the individual is how you stop fascism now. Because if free people choose the guy who says he's going to fix the border problem and yes, that might include some deportations — that means we are no longer able to staff our labor force and grow a stronger coalition in the swing states.So we dumped them into towns like Springfield, Ohio, and expect everyone who lives there to share our existential angst about racism. Forget about your kids in school, your social services, and your safety. All power to the state means you say nothing, you do nothing, you suck it up.You see, the anti-fascists are the ones who demand you drop all of your friendships if you vote for the fascists. It might sound confusing, but it's not. All you have to do is conform or else.You might have heard that “conform or else” is the very definition of fascism, but really, it's how you get rid of it. You pressure everyone you know to do what we tell you to do, think how we want you to think, speak how we want you to speak or we will DESTROY YOU. This is a public episode.

This week, we're checking in to the heartbreak hotel and taking the express checkout to Hell as Spooktober continues with a minor forgotbuster based on a story by Stephen King. It's 2007's 1408, directed by Mikael Håfström, and starring John Cusack, Samuel L. Jackson, Mary McCormack, Jasmine Jessica Anthony, Tony Shaloub, Isiah Whitlock Jr. and Len Cariou. The movie is not nearly scary enough to really leave a lasting impression, but it's not bad either, as its Swedish director injects a good amount of visual flair into a one-location concept, and Cusack is more than capable of carrying the load in what is largely a one-man show. Plus: We've got a mixed bag of theatrical field reports, as our intrepid hosts have combined to see The Wild Robot and Megalopolis! If you'd like to watch the movie before listening along to our discussion, 1408 is currently streaming on Hollywood Suite north of the border at the time this episode was released. You can probably also find it at your local library. Other works discussed in this episode include the Netflix Fear Street trilogy, Who Invited Them?, Late Night With The Devil, V/H/S/2, V/H/S: Viral, Cloverfield, The Blair Witch Project, [·REC], Quarantine, Searching, Paranormal Activity, The Mist, Scream, Talk To Me, Night of the Living Dead, Resident Evil, Dawn of the Dead (2004), 28 Days Later, Shaun of the Dead, Friday the 13th Part 2, The Babadook, Malignant, Barbarian, Terrifier, Star Trek (2009), Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, Mr. McMahon, Morbius, Poltergeist, The Shining, Room 104, Planet Terror, Death Proof, Halloween (2007), The Devil's Rejects, and Black Sheep. We'll be back next week as Spooktober continues with a well-regarded horror classic from one of the original masters of the genre, as we finally catch up with Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds, currently streaming in Canada on Netflix at the time of publication. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!

The anniversary of the birthday of one of Clare's most famous sons will be commemorated this weekend. The 5th annual Michael Cusack Day will take place at the Michael Cusack Heritage Centre on Sunday at 1pm. The event will celebrate the contributions made by the founding member of the GAA. On the day there will be Hurley making, singing from pupils of Carron National School where Cusack attended and the presentation of a commemorative Michael Cusack Jersey. Centre manager, Tim Madden, says its vital to remember Cusack's achievement, that shapes current Irish society today.

In this podcast episode, we delve into the intriguing parallels and differences between two John Cusack films: "Grosse Pointe Blank" (1997) and "War, Inc." (2008). Both films feature Cusack as a hitman embroiled in personal and professional crises, blending dark comedy with action and elements of romance. We explore how "Grosse Pointe Blank" presents a hitman returning to his high school reunion, grappling with past relationships and moral dilemmas in a suburban setting, while "War, Inc." portrays a more cynical view of a hitman operating in a corporate-run war zone, satirizing political and corporate greed. Join us as we dissect how each film addresses themes of identity and morality, compare their humor and narrative styles, and discuss their cultural impacts and critical receptions. This episode offers a deep dive into how similar premises are treated in markedly different ways in two distinct cinematic periods.

1408 - "A Fragmented Loop of Unease & Despair"We continue our Stephen King Birthday Party with one of his most iconic Short Stories - 1408 (2007). A story that started off as a writing exercise that has gone on to be so much more! A cynical writer (John Cusack) is lured into the clutches of one very evil hotel room. We love seeing Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson paired up in Stephan King adaptations -like this film and CELL (2016)!We hope you enjoy this fresh episode - if you dare!!Support the show

Dr. Neil Chesterton, a New Zealand vet who has been investigating risk factors for lameness since the 1980s, and Ger Cusack, practicing veterinary surgeon with Comeragh Veterinary in Waterford, and who is well known for his work on prevention and control of lameness, join Stuart Childs on this week's Dairy Edge podcast. Ger first explains the different levels of lameness while Neil explains the main issues on New Zealand farms and how they are quite similar to those we face here in Ireland. They go on to discuss the importance of patience when moving stock and allowing the natural flow of cows into and out of the collecting yard and milking parlour and how this influences the level of lameness in herds. They also discuss the importance of managing farm roadways to maintain the surfaces in optimum condition to encourage cows to want to walk on it. Neil is a strong advocate of a soft transition from the main road surface to the concrete of the collecting yard and that this should be used for 100-400 metres from the parlour yard entrance depending on the herd size to again encourage cows to walk on the surface but also to reduce the number of sole injuries associated with stones coming from the main surface to the concrete of the collecting yard. Neil and Ger finish up by highlighting key things farmers can do to minimise lameness on their farms.  More info is available on Neil Chesterton's website at https://www.lamecow.co.nz/index.html  And from the Animal Health Ireland article by Ger Cusack at: https://animalhealthireland.ie/assets/uploads/2024/08/AHI_Monthly_Newsletter_August_2024_FINAL.pdf?dl=1  The Dairy Edge is a co-production with LastCastMedia.com

fWotD Episode 2667: John F. Kennedy document hoax Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 23 August 2024 is John F. Kennedy document hoax.In 1993, Lawrence X. Cusack III forged 350 documents from, or relating to, John F. Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States. Some of the forged documents supposedly showed that Kennedy had dealings with organized crime (through Sam Giancana of the Chicago Outfit), tax evasion, bribery of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, payment of hush money to actress Marilyn Monroe for being Kennedy's lover, and a secret first marriage.Cusack was the son of Lawrence X. Cusack Jr., the New York–based founder of the law firm Cusack & Stiles. Cusack Jr. was appointed as a guardian of the estate of Gladys Pearl Baker, Monroe's mother, in the 1970s. Cusack was employed in his father's firm from the late 1980s. He claimed that his father advised Kennedy on numerous sensitive and personal matters and that he found the papers in the archives of Cusack & Stiles.Cusack sold the papers through memorabilia dealers for between six and seven million dollars. One of the collectors involved suggested showing them to the investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, who was in the process of writing The Dark Side of Camelot (1997), a history of the Kennedy presidency and his assassination. Hersh began including information about the documents in his book and proposed a documentary to be released at the same time. It was during the checks of the documents by the NBC television network and then by ABC News in preparing the documentary that flaws in the forgeries led to their discovery. These included the use of a ZIP Code in a document signed in 1961 (the ZIP Code was introduced in 1963), and the use of a Prestige Pica font typeball that had not been invented at the time the document was signed. Other mistakes included the use of "lift-off" type to adjust a spelling error in Kennedy's name and where a written signature had removed a tiny part of the type underneath it, which had been made by using a modern plastic typewriter ribbon; these were not available in the early 1960s.The forgeries were uncovered in mid-1997, while Hersh was still writing The Dark Side of Camelot, and he removed a chapter and some additional material that had been based on the Cusack documents. In September 1997, ABC confronted Cusack with the discovery of the fraud, but Cusack denied the accusations. Cusack was arrested and tried on thirteen charges of mail and wire fraud; he was found guilty on all charges and was sentenced in 1999 to nine years and seven months imprisonment; he was also ordered to return the money to the people who had purchased the documents from him.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:13 UTC on Friday, 23 August 2024.For the full current version of the article, see John F.

If Michael Bay movies are orange juice, "Con Air" is orange-juice concentrate—loaded with stars, explosions and plot holes. What else would you expect from Shat The Movies commissioner extraordinaire Frank F? Simon West's directorial debut had the Shat Crew scratching their heads. The geography makes no sense. The crime makes no sense. The courts make no sense. Even prison had Dick and Gene confounded.  But there was no mystery to the entertainment factor of this summer blockbuster. Cartoon bad guys, over-the-top action sequences and some of 1997's hottest actors make "Con Air" a standout movie ... even if it isn't a particularly good one.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 508 of the Chasing Tone PodcastIt's podcast day, and Brian has avoided being sucked into a funnel cloud, so we start the episode of with an extra dose of frivolity and nonsensical mutterings. There is camping talk and weather talk and Richard campaigns for moderate weather conditions. Wampler Pedals made a social media post involving Brian's take on the infamous Rockman and the guys chat about how it was created. There were some great April fool's gags this year and the guys talk about some of their favorites and Blake tells us all about the one he was involved in for Gun Street Wiring. Richard makes an apology. There was a question submitted to the guys about buffers and the guys go deep into the weeds with it, the importance of impedance, and other general nerd topics. Brian redefines important technical terms.Richard is a little nervous about an upcoming band rehearsal so distracts himself by talking about his pedalboard and the choices he made. Somehow this ends up back at a chat about the Rockman sound again and Brian makes musical impersonations. Blake shows Brian some vintage Bucket Brigade chips and he gets very excited. There's been some controversy with some deepfaking of guitar impresario and UFO enthusiast Rob Chapman and the guys debate it.Mullets aplenty, Cusack's jacks, Squelch, Harley Benton, Agnes Obel, The Specials  ...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!Thanks to all our supporters - you are awesome!We are on Patreon now too!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)Awesome Course, Merch and DIY mods:https://www.guitarpedalcourse.com/https://modyourownpedal.com/Find us at:https://www.wamplerpedals.com/https://www.instagram.com/WamplerPedals/https://www.facebook.com/groups/wamplerfanpage/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdVrg4Wl3vjIxonABn6RfWwContact us at: podcast@wamplerpedals.comSupport the show

On this week's episode of the podcast, Jamelle and John watched “City Hall,” a 1996 political drama directed by Harold Becker and starring Al Pacino, John Cusack, Danny Aiello, Bridget Fonda, David Paymer and Martin Landau. You'll also notice a beardless Richard Schiff, Lauren Velez, and Senator Fritz Hollings of South Carolina. In “City Hall,” Cusack plays Kevin Calhoun, the loyal deputy to Mayor John Pappas, played by Al Pacino. After a young boy and a police detective are killed in a sting gone wrong, Calhoun has to navigate a tense political situation in effort to bring the crisis to a resolution without harming the rising prospects of his boss. Unfortunately, as he soon discovers with the help of Marybeth Cogan, a lawyer for the slain cop played by Fonda, behind the deaths are a tangled web of corruption that reaches from the political machine to the courts to the mayor's office itself.The tagline for “City Hall” is “It started with a shootout on a rainswept street and ended in a scandal that shattered New York.”You can get “City Hall” for rent or purchase on Amazon and iTunes.Our next episode will be on “Crimson Tide.”Connor Lynch produced this episode.
