A lovely video tribute to the really amazing actress and marvelous singer Irene Dunne. If you click on more information, there is a menu to watch directly a particular movie scene that you like. Irene transferred to Hollywood following a successful Broadway career and she was equally at home in screwball comedies, musicals and romantic dramas, always gracious and chatty, zany at times but innately sensible. She was nominated 5 times for the Best Actress Oscar, but inexplicably she never won one. As with my tribute video to June AlIyson, I played a lot with the association between the lyrics and music of the songs, the movie stories and with the acting and facial expressions of Irene and the other Stars. Enjoy the vision and comment, if you like. Goodbye and Merry Christmas 2012!

Produced by http://abcofilm.com/ for http://tuliptv.com/. Have you ever looked behind the scenes of harness racing? We visit Langley's Fraser Downs race track and talk with manager Joe Gray and up-and-coming driver Amber Lancaster. In the venue's restaurant, we meat the Netherlands Association "Je Maintiendrai". Board member Edie Bijdemast and Secretary Ineke Kalwij tell TulipTV what the Dutch club is all about. Traditionally, the winners of Princess Christina Contest, a Dutch organization that supports young musicians, visit Vancouver on their North American Tour. Have a look at their beautiful performance this year: the performers were Laurens de Man, piano; Annemiek de Bruin, clarinet and Ferdinand Binnendijk, mandoline. We muse about the origins of the Netherlands' embracing of the colour orange and discover close ties to the royal house of Oranje-Nassau. TulipTV producer Mass Abedi had the trip of a lifetime when visiting the Calgary Stampede Ranch. As Tourism Sales Manager Lindsay Jardine explains, the Calgary Stampede purchased its ranch in 1961 in an effort to guarantee the production of bucking stock and improve its quality with a carefully managed "Born to Buck" breeding program. In 1961, Stampede Executive and Committee agreed that 50 mares would be the foundation of the Stampede breeding program. Today, there are more than 400 horses living at the ranch, including 62 brood mares. Of the herd, only 165 are actually called on to perform in the arena and the busiest of those, maybe 30 of them - might be away from home for a total of 30 days a year. The most any of the horses will be asked to buck is about 15 times. That works out to 120 seconds (or two minutes) of labour per year. In return, these horses are fed oats and hay in addition to free-range grass, plus each gets its feet trimmed and hair done before each trip to town and they have free medical care.

The Independent 2015-03-20Ferdinand is a Germanic name composed of the elements frith "protection" (or alternatively farð "journey, travel"), and nanth "courage".
The name was adopted in Romance languages from its use in the Visigothic Kingdom. It is reconstructed as either Gothic Ferdinanths or Frithunanths. It became popular in German-speaking Europe only from the 16th century, with Habsburg rule over Spain. Variants of the name include Fernán, Fernando, Hernando, and Hernán in Spanish, Ferran in Catalan, and Fernando and Fernão in Portuguese. The French forms are Ferrand, Fernand, and Fernandel, and it is Ferdinando and Fernando in Italian.
There are numerous hypocorisms or short forms in many languages, such as Finnish version is Veeti.
There is a feminine Spanish and Portuguese form, Fernanda.
Pinot Meunier, pronounced: [pi.no mø.nje], also known as Meunier or SchwarzRiesling, is a variety of black wine grape most noted for being one of the three main varieties used in the production of champagne (the other two are the black variety Pinot noir and the white Chardonnay). Until recently, champagne makers generally did not acknowledge Pinot Meunier, preferring to emphasise the use of the other noble varieties, but now Pinot Meunier is gaining recognition for the body and richness it contributes to Champagne. It is a chimeric mutation of Pinot: its inner cell layers are composed of a Pinot genotype which is close to Pinot noir or Pinot gris; the outer, epidermal, layer is however made up of a mutant, distinctive, genotype. Pinot Meunier was first mentioned in the 16th century, and gets its name and synonyms (French Meunier and German Müller - both meaning miller) from flour-like dusty white down on the underside of its leaves.
Pinot Meunier can be identified by ampelographers by its indented leaves that appear downy white, like flour has been dusted liberally on the underside, and lightly on the upper side, of the leaf. The name "Meunier" comes from the French word for miller with many of the grapevine's synonyms (see below) also hearkening to this association-such as "Dusty Miller" which is used in England, "Farineaux" and "Noirin Enfariné" used in France as well as "Müllerrebe" and "Müller-Traube" used in Germany. This characteristic derives from large numbers of fine white hairs on the leaves. However, some clones of Pinot Meunier have been found to be completely hairless -- a chimeric mutation, in fact -- which has led ampelographers to more closely draw a link between Meunier and Pinot noir.
Charles John Huffam Dickens ( /ˈtʃɑrlz ˈdɪkɪnz/; 7 February 1812 – 9 June 1870) was an English writer and social critic who is generally regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian period and the creator of some of the world's most memorable fictional characters. During his lifetime Dickens' works enjoyed unprecedented popularity and fame, but it was in the twentieth century that his literary genius was fully recognized by critics and scholars. His novels and short stories continue to enjoy an enduring popularity among the general reading public.
Born in Portsmouth, England, Dickens left school to work in a factory after his father was thrown into debtors' prison. Though he had little formal education, his early impoverishment drove him to succeed. He edited a weekly journal for 20 years, wrote 15 novels and hundreds of short stories and non-fiction articles, lectured and performed extensively, was an indefatigable letter writer, and campaigned vigorously for children's rights, education, and other social reforms.
