In a world of labels being placed on people, one father and one son were determined to break that tag, even if it was one of autism. This is their story. In a world quick to label, judge, and box in people, one father and son stood firm and refused to be defined by an autism diagnosis. If you're channel surfing and happen upon Leland Vittert during his nightly national cable show on NewsNation, he comes off as a poised journalist prying nuggets from guests. If you watched him for years as an anchor at Fox News Channel, you saw him on the battlefields of the Middle East, the anchor desk, and the White House North Lawn. No one, including friends and co-workers, has ever known his full life story and how miraculous it was to get to that point.Leland was a socially awkward boy who didn't speak for years, and when he finally did, teachers and leaders declared him "weird." His unique behavior and inability to connect with his peers made him a frequent target for bullying and exclusion. In one particularly harsh moment, a school principal bluntly told his parents, "The people here think Leland is pretty weird. I guess I do, too." Those words felt like being shot with an arrow, as his parents sat in stunned silence, grappling with their own fears and uncertainties for their son's future. From a young age, Leland showed signs of being Autistic, a term rarely used at the time, struggling with social cues, communication, and behavioral norms that came naturally to other kids. The diagnosis didn't deter his father, Mark. He knew the world wouldn't change for Leland, so he quit his job and began changing Leland for the world. He became a full-time parent-coach, training Leland and teaching him the skills he needed to navigate in society. Simple concepts like eye contact, understanding humor, and instilling motivations had to be taught painstakingly. From hundreds of pushups at age 7 to toughen him against bullies, to coaching him through complex social interactions, Mark's relentless dedication changed the trajectory of Leland's life. Born Lucky offers an intimate look into their inspiring journey. Leland lays bare his experiences of the crushing bullying during middle and high school, the sting of rejection continuing into college, and his ultimate transformation into an esteemed journalist. But above all, this book is a love letter from a grateful son, who despite his diagnosis, trusted his father and defied all odds. It offers hope to every parent and every child who is grappling with their own unique challenges, to be inspired to break labels, tear down the walls that society builds, and create a better future.

Bay Area hard rockers Corvus Lore return with a striking new visual for their latest single, “Promise You”—a slow-burning power ballad that showcases the band’s ability to balance raw emotion with arena-sized ambition.Over the past decade, Corvus Lore have built their reputation sharing bills with heavyweights like Tesla, Richie Kotzen, and Dizzy Reed. The four-piece has honed a sound rooted in classic hard rock grit, elevated by melodic instincts and a modern sense of scale.“Promise You” may be their most emotionally resonant statement yet. The track opens in near silence—just acoustic guitar and exposed, vulnerable vocals—before gradually unfolding into a full-bodied arrangement driven by pounding drums and layered electric guitars. By the time it hits its chorus, the song transforms into something cinematic: soaring, urgent, and undeniably anthemic.The newly released video mirrors that dynamic arc. It leans into the song’s intimacy early on, drawing viewers into a personal, almost confessional space before expanding outward in scope and intensity. As the instrumentation swells, so does the visual narrative, reinforcing the song’s central theme—commitment that endures, no matter the odds.Lyrically, “Promise You” trades in vivid, elemental imagery while keeping its message grounded and relatable. Lines like “When the oceans dry, I will be the tide” strike a balance between poetic ambition and emotional clarity, underscoring a devotion that feels both deeply personal and universally understood.

Some horses don’t just change your life, they save it.Arty’s blood runs hot. White hot. A white Lusitano stallion with bullfighting in his bones, he was born on a prestigious Brazilian farm and sold through an elite auction to a private ranch in California.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers.

Separated at the generations. A captain going down with its ship isn't going to happen with today's younger workforce. It's not in their DNA. So, businesses are flooded with middle aged and older adults consumed with the idea that a captain doesn't quit. No matter how poorly you're treated a work, a captain goes down with his or her ship.

He is also a mainstay leading man on Hallmark Channel, most recently seen in NOTES OF AUTUMN and ROMANCE TO THE RESCUE and joined the main cast of SULLIVAN'S CROSSING (CTV/The CW) at the end of the series' third season.Beyond acting, Rosner is a producer with Edmonton-based Northern Gateway Films, where he collaborates on a slate of movies-of-the-week and indie features.
