The biggest shoe of all has dropped on the market for powdered alcohol. On September 26, 2016, Governor Jerry Brown signed into law a bill prohibiting the sale, manufacturing, and possession of powdered alcohol in the state of California. California joins 33 other states in banning the substance. One other state—Wisconsin—is currently considering a ban, as is the District of Columbia.
Although relatively slow to enact legislation against "palcohol", California represents a major victory for opponents of the easy to hide, hard to monitor substance. As the most populous state in the country, California is also the largest alcohol market. Strong legislation in the state both prevents harm to the public and directly impacts palcohol manufacturers' revenue, limiting their war chests in states that have yet to enact permanent restrictions.
Still, almost a third of the country either allows regulated powdered alcohol sales (three states), or has yet to enact any legislation regarding the substance (12 states). "We call on all states to move quickly and decisively to make sure powdered alcohol stays off shelves," said Alcohol Justice Executive Director/CEO Bruce Lee Livingston. "It's a stupid product that's hard to monitor and plays directly to an underage audience. Get it off the market."
The states that have yet to permanently ban palcohol are: Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Florda, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Wisconsin, Wymoing, as well as the District of Columbia. If you live in these states, TAKE ACTION now to tell your local regulators and legislators to ban powdered alcohol.
Ban Powdered Alcohol update: SUCCESS!! EL TRIUNFO!!
Thanks to your advocacy, California is now free from the public health and safety threats of powdered alcohol. On September 26, 2016, Governor Brown signed both AB 1554 (Irwin) and SB 819 (Huff) to prohibit the possession, purchase, sale, offer for sale, distribution, manufacture, or use of powdered alcohol in California and would make the violation of those provisions punishable with a fine.
With his signatures California became the 34th state to ban the products because there is no good reason to allow another dangerous alcohol product to be sold, especially one that will be so easily abused by underage drinkers.
Thank you for joining with Alcohol Justice, the California Alcohol Policy Alliance, the Health Officers Association of California, California Craft Brewers Association, 48 other organizations, and many, many individuals in encouraging the legislature to pass these bills, and the Governor to sign them.
Please make a contribution to Alcohol Justice today to help us continue to promote evidence-based public health policies and organize campaigns with diverse communities and youth against the alcohol industry's harmful practices.
Alcohol Justice is pleased to report that the California State Legislature has unanimously passed both SB 819 (Huff, R-San Dimas), and AB 1554 (Irwin, D-Thousand Oaks). The bills were sent to Governor Brown's desk on August 26th for his signature. The legislation outlaws the manufacturing, distribution, sale, or use of powdered alcohol in California. The state will be joining 33 other U.S. states that have enacted similar bans or restrictions. Governor Brown has 30 days to sign this important legislation into law.
"Powdered alcohol" refers to alcohol prepared or sold in a powdered or crystalline form. When mixed with water or soda, it reconstitutes as an alcohol beverage. Such easy access is why Senator Chuck Schumer (D-New York) who stated the product could become "the Kool-Aid of teenage binge drinking" that leads "to increased hospitalizations and deaths" by underage drinkers.
NOW is the time to tell Governor Brown to sign this legislation banning powdered alcohol in California.
Disappointed Palcohol promoter Mark Phillips was sent packing back to Arizona after a chilly Capitol reception in Sacramento on Wednesday June 8, 2016. He provided the lone voice of opposition at the Assembly GO Committee hearing on SB 819 (Huff, R-Diamond Bar), to ban powdered alcohol in California. The committee unanimously passed the bill, but not before Phillips was admonished by members for being in denial of the fact that his product was dangerous and youth-attractive. According to Phillips, everyone in the hearing room, as well as all the legislators in the 32 other states that have already banned the product were ill advised and wrong.
SB 819 has one more Assembly committee vote and a floor vote before being sent to governor for his signature. The bill has already passed through the Senate with absolutely no opposition.
AB 1554, a companion measure in the Assembly authored by Assemblymember Jacquie Irwin (D-Thousand Oaks) has passed through the Assembly without opposition and will be heard in the Senate GO Committee Tuesday (6/14). Both SB 819 and AB 1554 are supported by an impressive group of public health and safety advocates from across the state.


← You Love doing What?
Prior to Christmas I began working on the BlogYinYang Merch Shop. The idea grew out of a need to raise some extra money, as well as a means of exercising my minor artistic muscles. Very quickly the items I began to put together gravitated toward Wing Chun and related images. I suppose I should explain my connection to Wing Chun.
Wing Chun is a Chinese martial art. I could go into a litany of its history, but many of its lineage definitions are in question and amount to little more than advertising pitch. One thing is known as fact, however. Bruce Lee studied Wing Chun. A lot of the Wing Chun that Bruce Lee learned translated into the art and science of his own creation, Jeet Kune Do. That is how I came to Wing Chun. In my studies of Jeet Kune Do, I learned about Wing Chun. I find that particular art and science fascinating. It works for me.
Perhaps the connection that I have with Wing Chun, through my Si-Fu, Mark Mills, and his Wing Chun Si-Fu (and now also my Si-Fu) Francis Fong comes from Si-Fu Fong's style. By that I mean, while he is somewhat a Wing Chun traditionalist, he is also very much in Bruce Lee's vein. Si-Fu Fong has no difficulty innovating, adapting, and modifying when he finds a way better for himself. He opens up Wing Chun to grappling and Kali and other arts, always finding a way to include the Wing Chun principles in seemingly disparate sciences. This also works for me.
There are hosts of guiding principles in Wing Chun, though it seems to me that the most major of them is structure, the position you go to and hold. The primary structure requires you to keep your weight back, which is very different from many Japanese arts and sciences, which generally have you distribute your weight, using wide stances. Something about the Wing Chun structure feels right. I am not saying it is the best way or the only way. I've studied Okinawan styles and used them effectively. I've studied a little Kali and Grappling styles, and used them effectively. But the weight back structure of Wing Chun feels right – for me.
I do not get to study Wing Chun as much as I would like. In fact, I have never really taken any formal Wing Chun classes. My training has grown out of my Jeet Kune Do studies, and a large number of seminars and multi-day instructor conferences. But I would enjoy being able to attend a regular Wing Chun class to fine-tune the techniques and principles.
Many consider Wing Chun difficult to learn. It requires precise positions. Paradoxically, I find Wing Chun fairly easy to learn for that very reason. It helps having a clearly defined map to fallow. That said, while it may be easy for me to learn, it is difficult to put into application. But everything is difficult to apply at first. Application requires repetition, and more repetition, and still more repetition. It also may be that I find Wing Chun easy to learn because of my prior experiences with JKD and other martial arts. The more you do, the easier it is to find a connection and assimilate another science.
Suffice to say, I enjoy Wing Chun. Its guiding principles make sense to me. They fit my frame, as well as my personality. Keep on Chunin'.

Morgane Oger's "hate map" might have privacy issues: B.C. Civil Liberties Association

NDP Vice-President Morgane Oger intends on creating a "Canadian Atlas of Populist Extremism (CAPE)" to map extremist groups, individuals and incidents across Canada.
The tool was announced on her Facebook page alongside a call for volunteers and is tied directly to the Morgane Oger Foundation.
Its intended goal is to "keep track of relationships between hate groups in our country".
One civil liberties group, the B.C. Civil Liberties Association has warned that while the tool might be useful it would come with a host of privacy rights issues.
Vonn went on to say that without a proper model there are legal issues around posting the personal information of private citizens online on a "hate map".
In the United States, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) operates its own "hate map" and a related catalogue of individuals and groups. The center has been involved in several lawsuits for their activities.
In one case, the group wrongfully labeled British activist Maajid Nawaz and his group Quilliam as an "anti-Muslim extremist" for their work against Islamic extremism, and was forced to record a video apology and pay Nawaz a $3.4 million settlement for their mistake.

This vid totally changed my golf game! Fat shots gone,38 points for a 16 hole comp off 15 .The sternum at and ahead worked for me .Thanks so much Danny !!!
I think it is all in front leg move where the weight has to be on front foot before striking the ball.
Love you're videos Dan, i have recently just started to keep my lower frame steady as you say in this video, I do feel very restricted……Do you overcome and get use to this feeling?
Wow this really works for me! Out of 100's of Youtube videos this one alone has helped me the most for Iron strikes!
Today I was able to pitch my PW as far as I used to be able to hit my 7 Iron lol!
Question tho, how many clubs does this method apply to?
Do you have an equivalent video explaining longer clubs like hybrids & woods because as soon as I try to hit 'any club' below my 5 iron things go really bad and I start to look like I've never swung a golf club before lol!!
Because I think the extra length of the club requires a more 'round' swing I just cant work out how to swing this way.
Danny, can you help? The question i have is how big a divot you are supposed to take after you have made contact with the ball? I see golfers take chunks of turf and some take small strips. I'd like to work on taking strips. Can you give us some help in how we avoid taking the chunky divot versus the thinner strip? Thanks!
All of these are good fundamentals but, I respectfully submit, the major reason people hit it fat is casting/throwaway. If you do that you're bound to hit it fat and if you don't, it's easy not to do so. That is far and away what separates good strikers from the rest of us and the hardest issue to cure. It's the Holy Grail for hackers.
Hi danny. watched your videos for a few months now playing my best golf for years now.
Your website is a continuous loop of 'enter email address', reply, 'enter email address', already subscribed, continue, enter email address.Repeat.
A week later and 3 hours of practice and I nearly mastered this for all 18 holes. A couple of errant shots but think mainly due to lack of concentration I can confirm that this is working for me. Just got to keep at it until it becomes "natural" set up. 37 points today with a wipe and 5 1 pointers – thanks Danny you've transformed my game! One issue I now face is Im making the green in regulation and have putts of lengths Ive never had to face before!
Danny, just came across your videos, they are great. I am wondering about your advise regarding the downswing, I have always thought the great strikers of the ball shallowed the club somewhere in the down swing, you don't mention this aspect and I wonder if it is part of you concepts and teachings?
What you say about the sternum is true but the sternum is merely a marker point for the centre point of your shoulders- an upper body centre if you will. There is also a lower body centre midway between the hips some refer to it as the belt buckle. Both reference points come into play when making ball turf contact. As long as both upper and ;lower body centres (markers for your spine) are forward or even with the ball at impact you will not hit it fat- you will get ball turf contact unless they are too far ahead of the ball in which case you will miss the ball entirely. Point I am making with this is that it is OK to have a hip slide towards the target- lower body centre ahead of upper body centre (sternum) at imp[act and still have ball turf contact. i.e. spine is tilted backwards or away from the target. In fact a lateral hip slide towards the target contemporaneously with spinal extension and shoulder tilt is critical for a proper rotation coming into the ball from the inside..
Thanks for the videos Danny, they make so much sense and are so easy to implement!!
All good advice. Hip slide is a common error. I just think of slight left knee bend to slight right knee bend to ball turf hit. Thanks Danny.
Love all your videos Danny. In my opinion you're one of the top golf instructor in YouTube. I only wish that you could shorten your videos somewhat … to less than 10 minutes would be ideal. Anyway thanks for all the great contents that you put out there. Cheers.
Great advice Danny on the back swing, can I just add this tip – that if one aims their left thumb towards their right ear on each backswing for consistency, it will give you feedback, if you have a target on your backswing it should give you consistency in hitting your intended target on their follow through in which we all want, I do hope this helps my fellow golfers?
Looks like good tips. I will try them out. Subscribed.
Thanks Danny. I'm 65 and thru hip, shoulder injuries I had lost the ability to take a divot on the "pro side" of the ball. Within 3 swings with the towel drill I had regained the feeling. Thanks so much, my game just improved thanks to you.
Terrific instruction Danny – I can't wait to try it tomorrow and not nhit the ground first with my irons!
Thank you, of all the golf vids I've watched no vid has ever explained the relationship of sternum to ball before. For me, this explanation was an epiphany. Thanks a bunch.
I really like your teaching style. I'm going to try these exercises. I tend to sway when I really want to crush it-which turns out horribly. I also come over the top and sometimes make great ball then turf contact but the ball goes 30 yards left even though I made good contact. If I focus on sternum over the ball at impact will that stop over the top and sway? Things go horribly wrong when I try to swing harder/faster. I suppose I should trust that the better contact will make the ball travel farther. Thank you!
Thanks for the tips. My driving is good but always the 2nd shot that ruins my game. Now I know where to stand and what to do. Thanks very much.
so do you need a steeper swing for irons and a flatter swing for a driver ?
Hey Danny- did the towel drill today. WOW. I was able to avoid the towel and I could tell I was compacting the ball ! Will keep doing this drill to have a decending blow and catch the ball first. THX Danny. Do a vid on the Impact bag please.
This could be a lightbulb moment for me. I have been bumping the hips, shallowing the club, and sliding the hips no wonder I'm struggling.

When Gerry and Sylvia Anderson envisioned Space: 1999 back in the early 70s, they probably thought it would be the governments of the world that would take the first major steps toward colonising our solar system and enabling every day people to experience space.
While NASA, Roscosmos, the European Space Agency and other similar organisations have done a great deal of work in this area, it's private businesses that are looking further afield as they investigate space tourism and even space mining.
One such company is Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic.
Virgin Galactic is a spaceflight company within the Virgin Group that is developing commercial spacecraft with the aim of providing suborbital spaceflights to tourists who want a space experience. Virgin Galactic is also exploring suborbital launches for space science missions and actual orbital launches for small satellites.
One of Virgin Galactic's future goals is to conduct actual orbital spaceflights for every day human beings.
If you'd like to learn more about this fascinating company and their objectives, click here.
The company was founded by Sir Richard Branson and it's certainly had its ups and downs since its formation in 2004. Despite some setbacks, Sir Richard has never given up on his dream.
Following in the footsteps of WhiteKnightTwo (a custom-built, four-engine, dual fuselage jet aircraft that was designed to carry a suborbital vehicle up to an altitude of 50,000 feet for a safe and efficient launch), and the first SpaceShipTwo (a reusable, winged spacecraft designed to carry up to eight people into space that broke apart and crashed in 2014 over the Mojave Desert), Sir Richard unveiled Virgin Galactic's second SpaceShipTwo on the 19th of February in Mojave, California.
Professor Stephen Hawking named the new vehicle VSS (Virgin Spaceship) Unity via a recorded speech and said "I would be very proud to fly on this spaceship."
Along with Space X and a few other private companies, Virgin Galactic is taking some exciting steps forward in making spaceflight a relatively inclusive experience. I say 'relatively', because the cost per passenger isn't something many of us will be able to afford.
While the eventual commercialisation of space is exciting, it's also a little frightening.
In 1967 the United Nations sponsored "Outer Space Treaty" established all of outer space as an international commons by forbidding all of the nations of the world from claiming territorial sovereignty over any body or location beyond our planet.
That Treaty was ratified by 102 countries, including all major space-faring nations. In association with that Treaty, the "Moon Treaty" was finalised in 1979 and came into force in 1984, forbidding private ownership of extraterrestrial real estate. Sadly, as of the 1st of January 2013, only 15 governments had ratified the agreement and none of them were major space-faring nations.
All of this has become very relevant recently, as people start to ask questions about mining asteroids, mining the moon, and even establishing tourist hot spots on Luna and Mars.
One thing is for certain, if there is money to be made out of the moon, Mars or any object in the solar system, legal challenges will eventually make things like the Outer Space Treaty and the Moon Treaty irrelevant – or it will modify them significantly. When we look beyond the financial gain some businesses would be set to make by mining objects in our solar system, the simple fact that Earth's resources are disappearing may make it all a moot point. In some minds, it seems more and more imperative we explore the possibility of colonising our solar system.
As we move forward into this 'brave' (?) new world of space tourism and potential corporate expansion into the solar system, it will be interesting to see how the governments of the world and the United Nations shape up to deal with these challenges – and the amazing potential that lies beyond our beautiful blue-green world.

If you were a child born in the 1970's in Australia, chances are one of your first introductions to science fiction was the television show Space: 1999.
At the time it aired down under there wasn't a lot of science fiction available. Star Trek was already in syndication and I had loved the few episodes I'd seen because it only ever (at that time) appeared haphazardly on Aussie TV screens, Star Wars was about a year away or was close to being released (I can't remember which, I just know I saw Space: 1999 first), and there was Doctor Who which my family thought was terrible so I wasn't allowed to watch it.
There might have been other science fiction shows out there, but Australian television didn't show them. Eventually we got Blakes 7, but that was deemed far to adult and I wasn't allowed to watch that one either.
When Space: 1999 hit Australia's airwaves I was immediately sold. I don't think I had any real idea of what science fiction was at that point in my life, being only five or six years of age, but that is when my love affair with the genre began.
Eventually Star Trek reruns settled into a regular Saturday afternoon time slot, and Battlestar Galactica aired (which I also loved) of a Friday night, but for me it all started with the crew of Moonbase Alpha and their adventures on a wayward moon.
Space: 1999 became something of an obsession for me, one which continues to this very day. It launched my interest in the space program, and made me believe that one day I could go to space too. I remember asking family members how I could become an astronaut. All they could tell me was that I had to be really smart and needed to get good grades. Even though Space: 1999 was only on air for two years, my desire to get into outer space stayed solid. I ended up in advanced science and maths classes and was determined to get into space… until, at the age of 14, my all boys school amalgamated with an all girls school and I discovered the fairer sex. Let's just say my grades didn't survive the experience. Thanks, puberty!
Space: 1999 stayed with me across the years because of the immediate impression it made on me. Space: 1999 was the only show at that I knew of back then (and for a number of years afterward) that was, time wise, close enough to touch. In 1976, 1999 was only 23 years away. That did feel like forever to my young mind, but my young mind also knew that I'd only be in my 20s and most likely still alive. Being twenty-something felt like the perfect age to go to the moon.
When I watch Space: 1999 now it fills with me nostalgia and a sense of joy. It also makes me wish I'd never discovered sex and had stayed dedicated to my studies, even though we're not living on the moon yet. Despite our failure to colonise the moon (to date) we still have multiple space agencies, and having a couple of degrees in engineering or physics might have gotten me a job with Elon Musk or Bigelow Aerospace!
Watching Space: 1999 now also does make me occasionally cringe. I'm not the sort of fan who forgives all sins. Some of the episodes are truly bad. Despite those bad episodes, I still see an incredible amount of unrealised potential in the show. Not necessarily the premise as it was, but the concept.
Space: 1999 didn't tie every episode off with a nice little bow. It didn't always give its audience a satisfying conclusion, and would often leave a mystery unsolved or give us a dark and unexpected ending – an approach the rebooted Battlestar Galactica went on to so eloquently emulate and improve on.
Despite it's occasional unanswered question and intermittent darkness, Space: 1999 was not dystopic, but a product of its time. Just like the much admired David Eick and Ronald D. Moore reboot of Battlestar Galactica.
Though I was so young when Space: 1999 aired in Australia, I was surrounded by adults and sensed their concerns and uncertainty and distrust of certain things. I still remember my mother fighting the education board over my ability to go to a private school that refused to accept the children of divorcees. I remember my grandparents and mother working incredibly hard to scrape together enough money to keep me in that private school. We were a poor, working class family, but my family wanted to make sure I had the best education possible. I remember times when there was not enough food, I remember uncles and aunts and grandparents talking with disgust about government and religion and multiple issues.
The 1970s were as far from a utopia as you could get, and Space: 1999 tackled some of those issues, and often in very subtle ways.
For many years I wondered why a continuation didn't happen, then once 1999 passed, I wondered why no one was rebooting the show or remaking it in some way. To me, there were easy fixes that would help make Space: 1999 work in our contemporary world.
Then it came. A reboot was announced. Space 2099. It wasn't my idea of the best way forward (I would have preferred a relatively faithful remake), but it was better than nothing and I got pretty excited! The fact it was being done by Jace Hall (who was involved with V) made me feel like they'd do a good job.
And then it didn't happen, and has been listed as 'in development' for quite some time now.
In impatience, I've decided to do a speculative remake on WordPress. Not with the intention of it getting turned into a real series, because life doesn't work like that, but because I wanted to. And because there are other fans out there, like me, who still love the show and would like to see it reborn again in some manner.
Through this site, I wanted to show that a remake could work without the need to reboot and redo everything. As a collective audience, we in the scifi world have had more than enough of that!
This speculative remake is relatively faithful. I've made some changes to a couple of secondary characters, and I've changed one major story point a lot, but let everything else relatively untouched except for where it needs to be updates (costumes, aspects of some sets, visual effects etc).
So what's the major story point that I've changed?
The moon isn't blasted out of orbit. While it isn't impossible for the moon to somehow be pushed out of orbit, it is highly HIGHLY improbable.
Instead, we've found what I think is a simple and effective work around.
I hope you enjoy it, and I hope you also start asking "why hasn't anyone remade this show?!"
Before I wrap up this introduction, I quickly wanted to plug an awesome book I stumbled across a couple of years ago.
Exploring Space: 1999 by John Kenneth Muir is an excellent look at the classic series that you should check out. It goes into great depth on the series, it's cancellation, and more. Plus, if you are a fan of the series, the book also features a special interview with the actor who brought the mysterious Psychon, Maya, to life. Catherine Schell.
Lastly, this site also has a blog that is all about classic and modern popular science fiction as well as developments in space research that will let us one day explore our solar system and galaxy. You'll find it's our homepage. The other pages on this site will focus exclusively on this speculative remake of Space: 1999.
As I said a few paragraphs ago, I hope you enjoy this little trip into the near future, and I hope you either like the choices I've made, or at the very least think they have some merit.
The original Space: 1999 was created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson.
No copyright infringement is intended. This is a passion project and a work of fandom intended for lovers of the original who still dream of Space: 1999 coming back.

Jamia Arabia Hathaura is an amazing place for students to continue their further studies after they are done with school and college. It is different from other institutions that offer higher education, in many ways. Apart from gaining a degree that is recognised all over the world, a student actually finishes off with an edge over the others, which is so important these days. Education in Jamia Arabia is not just about books and classrooms. A student can achieve and accomplish many goals because of the easy access provided to a variety of facilities. Jamia Arabia is second to none in this respect and the students are assured of the best results. Academics, personality development, honing special skills or whatever their area of interest might be, the students get complete support from the faculty and senior students.
It's a new world and a completely new life for students stepping into Jamia Arabia's Education. New friends, a lively environment, experienced faculty, renewed ambitions and inspired goals are what every student can look forward to at Jamia Arabia Hathaura. With students from different religious and social backgrounds coming together, mutual trust and sociability develops instantly, and helps make their stay at Jamia Arabia Hathaura, a more homely and unified experience. Jamia Arabia Hathaura is all about opportunity. The opportunity to make the best of friends, to meet interesting people from all over the world, to learn and grow under the guidance of the most respected academicians, to study in different universities abroad on exchange programmes, to land the best of jobs and of course, to have the best time of your life.
Life here is 'chilled out', yet highly productive. Away from the hustle and bustle of city life, the ambience is calm, green and perfect for students. Hathaura is not a city. However, because of the Jamia Arabia, Hathaura is considered a city in its own right.
The department of student affairs was set up to look after the welfare of students. With MORE THAN 2000 students studying in the university, it is imperative to have such a support group to look after their interests outside the classroom and provide special services.
The Student Affairs department's activities cover wide areas such as guidance, wellness, health and counselling. It is constantly evolving ways to support and foster students' interest in the university. A number of activities are held every year to ensure that the growth of students is not limited to classrooms alone.
Our idea is to help students reach their highest potential in the areas of intellectual curiosity and personal well-being. We are committed to providing students a wide variety of opportunities to explore leadership styles while also cultivating and practicing new skills.


Among the myriad of reforms contained in the newly passed healthcare legislation (Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act H.R. 3590), which was signed into law this past March, is a menu labeling provision which will standardize—on a national level—how the restaurant industry discloses nutritional information. While nutrition labeling requirements were passed almost twenty years ago for packaged foods, there was no national menu labeling standard for prepared foods until now. The recently enacted legislation combines key elements of the Menu Education and Labeling (MEAL) Act and the Labeling Education and Nutrition (LEAN) Act, both of which were introduced and reintroduced in prior congressional sessions. Faced with a national obesity problem—where more than 60% of American adults and 30% of American children suffer from obesity—this portion of the healthcare legislation enjoyed widespread support. In addition to a bipartisan group of House and Senate members, the legislation was supported by health and consumer advocates and industry groups such as the National Restaurant Association, the National Council of Chain Restaurants, and the International Franchise Association. As a national standard, the legislation will replace a growing and often inconsistent patchwork of state and local regulations, which have been enacted most notably in California and New York City.
Menus, drive-thru menu boards, brochures and buffets must contain a nutrient content disclosure statement listing, at minimum, caloric values for standard menu offerings.
Menus, drive-thru menu boards, brochures and buffets must display a statement concerning suggested daily caloric intake, as specified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, to provide context for the consumer with regard to the calorie disclosure for each food item on the menu.
The labeling requirements do not apply to condiments, daily specials, temporary menu items, special orders and customary market testing items, provided they appear on menus for limited time periods, as more specifically set forth in the legislation.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is tasked with proposing regulations within one year to implement the legislation through a formal rulemaking process. Such regulations are likely to require disclosure of other information to assist consumers in maintaining healthy dietary practices, including disclosure of information similar to that required on packaged foods, such as fat, sodium and cholesterol.
Many experts in the foodservice industry suspect that the legislation will have an impact not only on the chain restaurants that are the primary focus of the reforms, but also smaller chains and independent restaurants. As consumers become more savvy and accustomed to seeing the nutrition labeling at the chain restaurants, they will grow to expect the same disclosures at all restaurants. Restaurants will need to be careful in their disclosures to avoid consumer litigation for fraud or deceptive marketing. Consulting experts who specialize in nutrient analysis will become a necessity. In addition, carefully drafted disclaimers will become critical to protect restaurant owners from lawsuits arising from discrepancies between actual nutrient content and disclosed nutrient content.
We will continue to monitor the quarterly reports that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration are required to make to Congress and await the regulations that will be promulgated no later than March 2011. Those who support the legislation the menu labeling legislation proclaim that it is a victory not only for the American consumer, but also for the foodservice industry. American consumers will be provided the information they need to maintain a healthier lifestyle and the legislation levels the playing field for the foodservice industry.

Le national-conservatisme ou nationalisme conservateur est une variante du conservatisme, qui se concentre davantage sur l'intérêt national et sur le maintien de l'identité culturelle que la plupart des autres conservateurs. En Europe, les nationaux-conservateurs sont généralement eurosceptiques.

Description
Le national-conservatisme est lié au conservatisme sociétal : les partis nationaux-conservateurs sont sociétalement , c'est-à-dire qu'ils soutiennent la famille traditionnelle (couple hétérosexuel et enfants) et la stabilité sociale. Selon Sieglinde Rosenberger, .

Selon V. C. Mandal, . Dans le premier cas (le plus commun), les nationaux-conservateurs peuvent être distingués des conservateurs économiques, pour qui les politiques économiques de libre marché et la déréglementation sont les principales priorités. Certains commentateurs ont en effet identifié un écart croissant entre le national-conservatisme et le nationalisme économique.

Light Signals When Combine Auger Is On
FARM SHOW Magazine » Light Signals When Combine Auger Is On
"While operating my Massey Ferguson combine in oats last fall I discovered that I had failed to stop the unloading auger after leaving the side of the grain truck and had spilled about 15 bu. of oats on the ground. I later did the same thing in wheat. When other friends told me the same thing often happens to them, I came up with the idea of a warning light," says Jesse Bonness, Minot, N. Dak.
"I bought just four items to construct the device, including a push button switch, a 12-V flasher, a small red light and a few feet of electrical wire. The device can be put on the auger control lever of any make of combine. In addition to the purchased items, I used a screen door spring and a strap iron door hinge. A buzzer could be used instead of a light or, better yet, both could be used.
"The device fits onto the uploading lever. The spring runs from the lever to the door hinge, which is positioned below the switch. When the lever is in unloading position, the spring is stretched, pulling the door hinge up and activating the switch, which lights up the flashing light on the dash. The light stays lit until the lever is moved back to normal position and the auger shut down."

1 - the heights of the mountains are his also.
1 - and the dry land, which his hands have formed.
1 - let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!
2 - For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.
1 - O that today you would listen to his voice!
we lift up our joyful noise.
all who live upon this earth.
by your bread of life.
to your Word and your Spirit.
at the well of this worship service.
We continue hearing today's Psalm, paying attention now to the second part. This scripture remembers an episode in the wilderness, when thirst led the children of Israel to quarrel with God, who had thus far faithfully provided for their daily needs all along the way. The following words are an invitation to confession, which we will enter together after we finish this Psalm. Then we'll turn to the passage from the book of Exodus to which this scripture refers. Listen to Psalm 95:8-11.
Please now join in the Unison Confession found in the back of your hymnal, #692.
You alone are God. In you alone we hope.
Save our lives from destruction.
We repent of our stubbornness and pride.
We desire to yield ourselves more fully to your will.
Let us pray for all God's children.
Within this house of prayer, loving God, where we are refreshed by the living water of your Spirit, we turn our prayers towards the hungers and thirsts of the wider world.
All: flow waters, flow with healing grace.
Enter the experience of all who this day are looking for a faith which will enable them to turn around the defeat and shame of their present story.
Enter the grief and misery of folk who have found that no human friend or loved one is able to reach the lonely depths of their sorrow.
Enter the insecurity of those desperate seekers who rush from one religion to another, and from one counselor to another.
Enter the strength of self-made people who privately are driven by an un-nameable discontent which makes them irritable and hard to live or work with.
Enter the bitterness of citizens whose lives have been devastated by the bad decisions of leaders in business, government or court.
Enter the despair of all whose land or jobs, homes or health, freedom or reputation, have been taken from them.
of the Uniting Church in Australia.
Adapting a wonderful children's story by Ruth Gilmore, from Saving the Ants (©2001, Augsburg Fortress, Minneapolis, pp. 48-49). It's based on Romans 5:8, and involves a sturdy rope and the thought of pulling an enemy out of some quicksand, pondering how that is - in fact - what God has done with all of us. Should be fun to imagine, perhaps even pretending one of the children is the one stuck in the sand, and the others must decide whether to toss the rope in and, if so, then do so and pull.
One: Jesus crossed the taboos of his time as he sat at Jacob's well with the Samaritan woman. He refused to see her in the smallness of his society, but rather from the wideness of God's love. Water became his image for telling her she was thinking too small. Choose the water that lives!
water that flows from Christ to all.
the gratitude of our hearts into the world.
the abundance we live within.
proclaims our refusal to live small.
All: Give us this day, this water. Amen.
2 - 28Then the woman left her water jar and went back to the city. She said to the people, 29"Come and see a man who told me everything I have ever done! He cannot be the Messiah, can he?" 30They left the city and were on their way to him.
All too easily, we take water for granted. Consider, however, the abundance and the scarcity of water. An earthquake in Japan recently revealed the destructive power of too much water, which was followed by an inadequate supply of safe, drinkable water. Our morning's Bible stories speak out of a dry and dusty land, where wells are few and far between. Again, we take water for granted.
As we sing our final hymn, I have asked the ushers to distribute a cup of water to each of you. I trust juggling hymnal and cup will not be too difficult. If some gets spilt, it is – after all – only water… "Only water" - something we too easily take for granted. Please refrain from drinking until we have finished singing, when we will do so together. Turn now to #514 in your hymnal, stand in body or spirit, and let us once more make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
"Lord, I am fondly, earnestly"
You hold in your hand a simple cup of water. Don't take it for granted. Before you drink, think one more time of the Samaritan woman of whom Jesus asked some water from the well. It doesn't say in scripture whether she actually gave him a drink. Remember, again, what he said.
We have been offered living water. May it flow from within you this week. Simply share it with those whom you encounter along the way. Shall we drink together?

FIA Disapproves Verstappen's Rossi-style Overtake Of Raikkonen
In F1 FeaturesPublish Date October 23, 2017 3 Views Kunal Shah
There's something special about Max Verstappen. It was only bad luck that he couldn't display that something special for 7 races this season, but when he got the chance, like he did in the 2017 United States Grand Prix, he proved why Red Bull Racing were eager to lock him down for 3 years and why Helmut Marko thinks he's worth $100 million!
Donald Trump Tweets On Formula 1 #FakeNews
However, it isn't always that the FIA approves of that something in Verstappen. Or as Verstappen put it, there's one guy in the FIA (their Steward) who doesn't approve of his something. FIA's post-race track limits penalty for Verstappen meant two things. First, no Max Verstappen on the podium, despite a spirited drive from P16 to P3. Second, FIA's disapproval of Kimi Raikkonen being 'Verstappen'ed on the last lap. To me, it was a Valentino Rossi-style last lap last ditch attack. It's a shame that the FIA deemed it as illegal.
Mithila Mehta and I have partnered with Firstpost for the 2017 Formula 1 Season and will feature in their Firstpost Pole Position videos all through the season. Basically, we're now available in text, audio and video!
Was the FIA right? If you're the types that goes by the rule book, hell yes, they were. But here's where the FIA was wrong. They applied the rules inconsistently throughout the weekend. Other drivers who had infringed this rule were let off – let alone a penalty, there was no warning issued either (unless this was discussed in the drivers' briefing). Did this draw Verstappen's ire? Either way, the only way to fix this inconsistency is by fixing our racing circuits. The kerb stones look great, especially when they're all colourful and well laid, but those kerb stones are the reason why we're discussing track limits. If there was grass on the inside of the Verstappen cut, would he have still made the move on Raikkonen?
How Can Max Verstappen Not Know Heel-Toe?
In this week's episode of the Firstpost Pole Position video, we talk about Mercedes' 4th Constructors' Championship, Lewis Hamilton closing in on his 4th, Esteban Ocon's coming of age and if Mercedes should do a Red Bull Racing and replace Valtteri Bottas (or Slowttas as he's called on Reddit!) for 2019. Also, where will Daniel Ricciardo go in 2019. In my view, Ricciardo will have to choose between playing second fiddle to either Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton or Max Verstappen. But such is life in Formula 1.

Hunger on a massive scale is threatening East Africa. Drought has contributed to leaving 16 million people in the region on the brink of starvation and in urgent need of food. People are already dying in South Sudan and Somalia. In Kenya, the government declared a national emergency as Ethiopia battles a new wave of drought following the strongest El Nino on record. It is for this reason that baby steps such as The East Africa Postharvest Technologies Competition 2017 (EAPTC-2017) should be encouraged.
The East Africa Postharvest Technologies Competition 2017 (EAPTC-2017) that is currently in session in Tanzania aims to identify scalable postharvest technologies in East Africa for wider dissemination. It is featuring over 40 postharvest technologies from which judges will select the Top 25 to proceed to the East Africa Postharvest Technologies Exhibition set for early May 2017. The EAPTC-2017 seeks to identify postharvest innovations and technologies that demonstrate potential for scale up and offer practical solutions to challenges of postharvest food loss and waste across agricultural value chains in the region. It is believed that nurturing them will make hunger a thing of the past in the region.


Of Fries And Men : Happy One Year !
In this occasion, I would also like to share my 5 all-time favorite posts with you guys.
Phallic fries and weeny men. Yes,sometimes I'm in the mood for none or both.
Interesting perspective. Like you, I've had to learn a few things the hard way and one of the biggest lessons was admitting that some of boy friends I've dated were the wrong men to allow in my life. There are also times when I was the wrong woman for these men to have even approached in the first place.
Either way, I've lived and loved with disastrous results. But in the long run, that's okay. I've also learned that sometimes, the fries just taste better with salt and ketchup.
You're a good writer. Kudos.
Hi, thanks so much for your thoughts & kind words. We learn as we go along right.. and even if we don't get anything, at least we'll get a good story out of the experiences 🙂 And yes, fries with salt& ketchup are the best.. !
Thank you so much 🙂 I think we all have an inner piggy inside us .. heheh..
I was watching Private Practice last night and they had a scene where one of the doctors made a decision to meet another doctor because he told her of a place where he goes on Friday nights that has excellent fries. So when she thought of fries she thought of him. Now of course I immediately thought of you and your blog! I thought that was pretty cool. Congrats on your one year anniversary.
congrats and thumbs up to you dear.


Every Friday starting at 7:30 p.m.
$12.00 (includes free hot buffet & drink set-ups). Bring your own liquor, we have refrigeration if needed.
This is a BYOB event! Bring your own favorite alcohol to the show and we have accommodations to keep your libations nice and frosty. Your pockets will be happy too!

This is the last of four pages about the abandoned Main Line of the Grand Canal. Here, in case you want to visit them, are links to Page 1, Page 2 and Page 3. We've seen as much as we could from outside and indeed from the vantage point of the Guinness Storehouse; now it's time to go inside.
We start with another look at the sketch map.
The Grand Canal harbour and surrounding area
We return to the curved part of Grand Canal Place, with a look in through one of the Guinness gates …
Looking in at Guinness
… and a look back east along Grand Canal Place from the corner with Echlin Street. The curved building is out of shot to the right.
The north side of Grand Canal Place
Let's go past the curved building …
Please look after this building
… whose roof was in considerably worse condition by 2011, despite its being a protected structure …
More holes in the roof (October 2011)
… to the eastern end of St James's Avenue for a moment, and look back eastward.
The curved building from St James's Avenue
You can see the curved building and, beside it, a building where, on the 1830 map, Ruth Delany shows a turf bank.
The white truck marks the entrance to the Grand Canal Company premises. I sneaked in while the site (excluding the curved building) was being cleared for development.
Cobbles at the entrance
A pillar at the entrance (seen from inside)
This entrance led into the yard with various offices (and officers' houses) on the west side, while the harbour ran down the east side. For convenience, we'll call this the western yard. The cars are parked in a filled-in area that crosses the southern side of the old curved harbour; it provides access to a yard between the post-closure factories and warehouses. This, which we'll call the eastern yard, did not exist when the harbour was in use.
Note that, by 2011, a steel gate and other security precautions prevented access.
Let's start with the western yard. I don't know why, but drilling was under way at the time. I didn't want to be seen taking a photo ….
Drilling under way
Perhaps it was the influence of Sir James Bond ….
Here's a shot looking down the length of the western yard. I think those gates are relatively recent, with the old entrance gate a little further down.
Looking down the yard
A short update from March 2011: a locked gate now bars access to the interior.
No entry
But back to happier days, when access, if illicit, was possible ….
You may be able to see a metal track a little way in. Here's a close-up. I presume there was a sliding gate or suchlike at this point.
Metal track
Looking out past the old entrance
This view from the inside looking out may make things clearer. The new gates are further away with, behind them, the small building where the turf stack used to be. Beyond that is the end of the curved building.
Closer at hand, the blue excrescence is obviously a newer building. Between it and the pillar is the entrance to the eastern yard, which we'll come back to later. Then there's the stone pillar, with the track for the (presumed) sliding gate leading up to it. To its right is one of the thin buildings that we saw from the Guinness Storehouse and that may be an original Grand Canal Company building: what Ruth Delany marked as the Ballinasloe store on the map of the harbour in 1830. Interestingly, just to the left, out of shot, is where (according to the same map) the caretaker's house was positioned, close to the sliding gate. The shed with the canopy is recent.
Now let us go around to the eastern yard which, of course, did not exist when the harbour was in water. We're taking our lives in our hands ….
We're now in behind the curved building, presumably swimming through the curved harbour.
In behind the curved building
It is possible — though I don't know — that the foundations of the demolished building on the left are in line with the quays between the two sections of the harbour. The curved building clearly needs care and attention.
Just south of the demolished building (shown in the previous photo) is the back of what I think may have been the Ballinasloe store. Here is the long side of the building, with some stonework visible. There seems to be some concrete-block patching at the corner (left side of the photo).
Looking along the side of the building
We saw one end of that building from the western yard a moment ago; the photo below shows its back. By the way, I think we are now standing in the canal cut connecting the curved harbour with the middle harbour.
The back of the Ballinasloe store (on the left), the foundations of the demolished building and the back of the curved building
The building on the right may contain some elements of the old Inwards store; here's a view from the other direction (well, from north-west rather than south) with some stone visible.
Some stone from the Inwards store?
Anyway, let's go further down the eastern yard.
Note the two narrow buildings on the left
I thnk that the two narrow buildings on the left, with a broad building between them, may both have been on the quay dividing the curved harbour from the middle harbour. The OS map of 1907/11 suggests that there were two thin buildings, with canopies around them.
The alternative is that the broad building is occupying the water-space of the middle harbour and that the nearer narrow building is on the quay dividing the middle from the southern harbour. However …
Looking from the southern end of the eastern yard
… if the nearer narrow building is on the quay dividing the middle from the southern harbour, then the space between the red car and the photographer is the southern harbour. But that harbour, which was the last to be filled, is occupied by a halting-site for members of the travelling community, so it is behind the photographer. Accordingly, it seems more likely that the two narrow buildings were both on the quay dividing the curved from the middle harbour, constituting the Ballinasloe store on Ruth Delany's map showing the harbour in 1830. And the space between the red car and the photographer, above, is the middle harbour and perhaps some of the Limerick store on the quay dividing middle and southern harbours.
There seems to be no trace of any original buildings on the right of the photo.
We looked at this photo a moment ago.
Note the section of drainpipe
Here is a close-up of the wall at that point, with the stone suggesting that the right-most (narrow) building is older than the other one.
Stone to the right
Looking further along the wall, we find some stone kerbing, which may have marked the edge of the quay.
Stone kerbing
And right down the far end, near the south-western corner of the site, is the only physical evidence I found that suggested there was once a harbour here. This might have been on the wall of the Limerick store, on the quay dividing the middle from the southern harbour.
Was this ring for mooring boats or horses?
Work on the development may have paused; while access to the inside has been blocked, some firms are operating in premises in the outer section and short-term leases are being offered. I do not know what further demolition has taken place or whether any evidence of the area's past activity still remains. The roof of the curved building has suffered further damage.

It will be clear from my account that I am not entirely clear on what was where so, as always, comments and clarifications would be welcome.
Now, if you came to this page as part of the suggested Dublin walking tour, this would be a good time to visit the Guinness Storehouse, if there are no long queues. Look out for traces of the old Guinness 1″ 10″ railway (excellent article here). Inside, look out for the model of the Guinness Liffey barge and the two engines from the Guinness railway. There is a bar too.
To see how extensive the Guinness network was, and how strategic the brewery's positioning alongside the canal, the Liffey and a mainline rail terminus, look at the OSI ~1900 map. Switch to Historic 25″, but you'll have to scroll to see the whole thing.
And here's a page about Uncle Arthur's resting-place.

Agreed. I don't know whether any proper industrial heritage survey was done, either when the harbour was closed or in connection with the current development.

Thanks for these pages.
I am chasing up my family history (Burgess/Medlar et al) in James's St. and Rialto. I was told that there was a metal bridge, known as the Medlar bridge, over the canal, probably at the southern end of the harbour.
If this is true, I wonder how might it have been related to the Cage. Perhaps Councillor Medlar inaugurated some improvement in the bridge (1930s?). My mother told me she was once blown off a bridge/lock over the canal on her way to work. She worked in Monaghan's at the corner of Rialto Rd., and SCR. Unfortunately I was not sufficiently interested in the geography of the area to ask her exactly where this was.
Rath ar an obair.
bjg | Tuesday 18 August 2009 at 20:52 |
Póló: thanks for the interesting message. The Cage is one possibility; the other is a swing bridge running from Bond Street at the south end of the harbour complex. I haven't heard the name Medlar Bridge applied to either of them, and googling has produced no results, but as you will have gathered I really don't have enough information about the area. It may be that the Guinness archivist could help.
Walking from James's Street to the Rialto end of the SCR, your mother would not have needed to pass over any locks, but she might well have had to cross the Main Line of the canal, and the two main options would have been Rialto Bridge and the Cage, and I think it is unlikely that she would have been blown off Rialto Bridge.

I really enjoyed these pages. Well done. It would be fantastic if you could source some old photographs. I came across this website while searching for an image of the Iron Bridge, or the Cage as you refer to it. I attended James' St. CBS from the mid-sixties to 1976. The secondary school of that time no longer exists. It was at the St. James' Avenue end of Basin Street, entrance on the east. The Iron Bridge was my usual route to school and it was a completely caged in bridge, unlike those over the DART line. The cage continued along the high wall that bounded the Basin to the south. I vaguely remember a huge door/gate in this wall. When the caged in walkway reached the west side of Basin View, there was a cut through to the street. There was a small factory which, based on the contents of their bins, were involved in winding transformers and/or stiching leather straps onto bags/luggage.
Anyhow, great job.

Thanks for your kind comments and for the interesting information about the bridge.
I have generally steered clear of old photos because it's hard to be sure who owns the copyright. At least with my own photos, I know who took them! On some of my other pages I have put links to old photos on other websites, but I didn't do so here. If I can think of a good way around this, or if I find a website with old photos I could link to, I'll do that.

I have been pursuing the "Medlar" bridge with some success and have uploaded a page to my site which contains what I know to date. I will be following it up further according as I get the time.
Peter Walsh, former curator of the Guinness museum and archive, has given me permission to reproduce a slide of his showing the bridge in 1973. You could link to that at:

Ewan Duffy | Saturday 10 November 2012 at 11:45 |
Just read this article (all 4 pages) in detail today. In the photo entitled "Metal track", what it appears to be is an inverted 'bridge' rail by CIE in their canal section (although the fact that the Grand Canal Co came to CIE late might rule out that theory).
Bridge rail is a section of rail in the shape of an inverted U with flanges at the base to pin the rail to sleepers. As it name suggests, it looks like an arch bridge. The original rails on the Great Southern & Western Railway (the line that ran closest to the Grand Canal) were inverted U shaped iron bridge rails of 90lb/yard, spiked to cross sleepers. Especially wide sleepers were placed under joints, obviating the need for fishplates (the interface between the sleeper and the rail).
Bridge rails were early development of metal rails and were ultimately superceded by flat bottomed or "Vignoles" rail that remains the standard to this day.
bjg | Saturday 10 November 2012 at 21:20 |
That's interesting; thanks, Ewan. There were friendly relations (at least at times) between the GCC and the GSWR, so it's possible that the canal company, needing a bit of rail, sent some of the lads down the hill to Kingsbridge … or perhaps to Inchicore. bjg

I drove by the old harbour Dock. Its now gutted for redevelopment at a large scale. Going up in James's st area you can imagine the grand canal Dock was a place of great interest to us for fishing for pinkeens and jumping on the barges, I did have a friend that lived on the Dock, Liam clinton and family. I was born in1953 ( don't look it tho). The bridge in question over the canal was known as the iron bridge, our school was in basin lane, James's st cbs. We still have a golf society made up of lads from the area. With knowledge of historical nature. The gateway told me they are going to have a coffee shop with a small museum collection of what the archaeologists found on the docks site, when it's all finished. I enjoyed your 4 pages and photos. Good luck.


Barack Obama told supporters that "change has come to America" as he claimed victory in a historic presidential election.The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even one term, but America -- I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you -- we as a people will get there," Obama said in Chicago, Illinois, before an estimated crowd of up to 240,000 people.
With Obama's projected win, he will become the first African-American to win the White House.
Obama had an overwhelming victory over Sen. John McCain, who pledged Tuesday night to help Obama lead.
McCain called Obama to congratulate him, and Obama told the Arizona senator he was eager to sit down and talk about how the two of them can work together.
President Bush also called Obama to offer his congratulations.
Bush told Obama he was about to begin one of the great journeys of his life, and invited him to visit the White House as soon as it could be arranged, according to White House spokeswoman Dana Perino.
This was a long and hard fought campaign but the result was well worth the wait. Together, under the leadership of President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and a Democratic Congress, we will chart a better course to build a new economy and rebuild our leadership in the world."
Sen. Ted Kennedy said Americans "spoke loud and clear" in electing Obama.
"They understood his vision of a fairer and more just America and embraced it. They heard his call for a new generation of Americans to participate in government and were inspired. They believed that change is possible and voted to be part of America's future," the Massachusetts senator said in a statement.
As results came in Tuesday night, Obama picked up early wins in Pennsylvania and Ohio -- states considered must-wins for McCain.
Obama also won Virginia, a state that has not voted for a Democratic president since 1964.
Going into the election, national polls showed Obama with an 8-point lead.

Marley was vaguely aware that he was dreaming someone else's tale. He and a tiger alone on tiny iceberg adrift in an endless ocean…it was all too familiar. Of course, he hadn't had an original thought in so long that everything seemed vaguely familiar all the time. Every book he read had been made into a movie he had already seen. Every movie he saw was based on a book, or another movie, or a TV show, or a video game, or an historical event or just a basic plot with which he was very familiar. Everything that happened to him on a day to day basis seemed oddly similar to something else that had already happened. It was as if he was stuck in an endless déjà vu.
"Semantics is a slippery slope. Besides, who says I am in your dream? You may be content in my dream." With that, the tiger grunts and rips the guts out of another fish.
Back in his World News Central bunker, Don Williams is thinking too much too. "News, news everywhere…" he smiles while swishing the ice around and around his whiskey glass. "but not a lot who think." Don has been around. He knows a thing or two about news. He remembers when WNC was a city on a hill, a shining light, the answer to the world's woes. One World, One News. Don made his way in this business during the heady days of the 24 hour news cycle. In those days newscasters were still called anchors. Anchors! When there was a storm, when seas were rough, when all seemed lost we held on to our anchors for dear life. Once upon a time we trusted the news to see us through; but now Don knew he was just a newscaster like everyone else. He threw his line into the news waters just like A.J. Clemente, just like all of them; but, and this is an important but, Don Williams isn't about to go after bottom feeders. He still dreams he can mean something; he just doesn't know what exactly. After all, clearly there is no longer time for news. There is an unwritten law in the news biz: news plus time equals old news and nobody is interested in old news. Time is the enemy of modern man and the news has been boiled down to an endless streaming ticker tape of tragedy, bombast, and lies. Don blamed twitter. At some point the world decided that anything that had to be said had to be said in 160 characters or less. Who made up that rule anyway? Who decided to set the bar so low? Don Williams freely admits he doesn't know much anymore; but he knows enough to know that the end, or glory, is near.
Semantics is a slipper slope. I'll give some a try. This bucket of words you bring here is more than packed and the content jumbled nicely. It is like reading home made, down on the farm, brilliantly thick alphabet soup with your fingers. Funny.
One can become unhinged whilst trying to figure out the meaning of one's dreams, if one can remember them.
I've become inured to the 24 hour news cycle, and the concept of continuously 'being in touch'. Yes, I bravely go out into the world, sans iPad, sans mobile phone, no twitter feed, no facebook, just me and the voices in my head.
Only trust the voices you know well, Big !
Neville, this is a classic. I'm reminded of Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions – where the story and the story within the story interweave and stare at each other in silent mutual disbelief. Ace work, sport !

Biggest rally in Israel's history presses PM
Ari Rabinovitch
TEL AVIV (Reuters) - Hundreds of thousands marched Saturday for lower living costs in the largest such rally in Israel's history, bolstering a social change movement and mounting pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to take on economic reform.
Israelis take part in a demonstration calling for lower living costs and social justice in Jerusalem September 3, 2011. REUTERS/Amir Cohen
Protest leaders called it "the moment of truth" for the grassroots movement that has swollen since July from a cluster of student tent-squatters into a countrywide mobilization of Israel's middle class.
"An entire generation wants a future," read one banner as demonstrators flooded the streets of Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and cities throughout Israel, shouting "the people demand social justice."
Netanyahu has warned he would not be able to satisfy all the protesters' demands, ranging from tax cuts, to expansion of free education and bigger government housing budgets.
Organizers said over 450,000 people took part in the demonstrations. Police put the number at least 300,000.
Protests on that scale in Israel, with a population of 7.7 million, are usually held over issues of war and peace.
"Tonight is the pinnacle moment of a historic protest," Amir Rochman, 30, an activist from Israel's Green Party said.
"Israel will no longer be the same," Itzik Shmuli, head of the National Student Union and one of the protest leaders said at the rally. "Our new Israel demands real change in the priorities of its government."
Though the turnout was lower than the ambitious one million some had hoped for, commentators said the movement had made its mark on Israel by catapulting the economy onto a political agenda long-dominated by security concerns and diplomacy.
Social media also played a role in the Israeli protests, inspired partly by the impact of Arab Spring demonstrations.
Since it began, the popular movement has upstaged a diplomatic face-off with the Palestinians for U.N. recognition of statehood and has posed the greatest challenge yet to Netanyahu, halfway into his term.
"HERE TO STAY"
Although Israel enjoys a low 5.5 unemployment rate and a growing economy, business cartels and wage disparities have kept many from feeling the benefit. Many protesters come from the middle class which bares a heavy tax burden and sustains the conscript military.
The weekly protests prompted Netanyahu to set up a committee to explore a broad revamp of economic policies. The government has also announced housing and consumer market reforms.
Protest leaders have indicated they will pause demonstrations in the coming weeks until the committee submits its conclusions. But Shmuli said at the rally that the movement was "here to stay."
"Priorities must be set, one thing comes at the expense of another," Roni Sofer, a spokesman for Netanyahu, told Israel Radio Saturday, adding that the government would not break its budget.
Netanyahu's governing coalition faces no immediate threat, but the protests have underscored the potential electoral impact of a middle class rallying under a banner of "social justice."

Directed by Jeppe Rønde
Denmark, UK | 2015 | 104 min | thriller, drama | English
Bridgend follows Sara and her dad, Dave as they arrive to a small village in Bridgend County. The village is haunted by suicides amongst its young inhabitants, and Sara falls dangerously in love with one of the teenagers, Jamie while Dave as the town's new policeman tries to stop the mysterious chain of suicides. The film is an uncompromising story focused on the relationship between vulnerable teenagers and their parents who are left in the dark.
The story of the film is based on a mysterious suicide cluster that took place in Bridgend County, a small former coal-mining province in Wales. Between December 2007 and january 2012 seventy-nine suicides were officially committed in the area. Most of the victims were teenagers, they hanged themselves and left no suicide notes. Danish documentary filmmaker Jeppe Rønde followed the teenagers from the area for six years and wrote the script based on their life stories. Bridgend is Rønde's fiction film debut. It is entirely shot on location in Wales, with many of the local teenagers casted as actors.

Jeppe Rønde's starkly involving dramatization feels like a Joy Division dirge come to life.
Time Out NY
The movie could have played the story for cheap creeps, Ronde instead puts a sharp focus on how its heroine's natural adolescent confusion, romanticism and sadness are magnified by the continuing loss of her peers — a viewpoint that doesn't make the story any less unsettling.
This is ripped-from-the-headlines cinema reformulated as real-world horror film, with a shivery stylistic nod to the crime drama of Ronde's homeland.
Bridgend is (…) indulgently moody, and sits alongside productions like Jamie Dead or the Twilight franchise. (…) Rønde adds a distinctly Nordic noir feel.

Saturday, July 8, 4 p.m.—EAST POULTNEY—St. John's Episcopal Church will celebrate Independence Day with a prayer service on Saturday, July 8 at 4 p.m. The service will take place at St. John's Episcopal Church on Route 140 in East Poultney. The service will feature Dr. James Cassarino, director of the vocal, instrumental and Welsh heritage programs at Green Mountain College, on the original mechanical organ. Light refreshments and fellowship are offered following the service.
St. John's Episcopal Church, which held its first service on May 27, 1832, sits on the historic village green in East Poultney. St. John's held regular Sunday services until 1931. In 2013, a group of concerned citizens took on the task of caring for this virtually untouched structure. The church features the original box-style pews, stenciled walls, oil lamps and an intact mechanical organ, one of four remaining organs manufactured by the Nutting Organ Company of Vermont. The church has no plumbing, no furnace, and no electricity.

Clutch begin recording album no.12
By Scott Munro ( Classic Rock ) published 5 January 18
Clutch are back in the studio to record the follow-up to 2015's Psychic Warfare - guitarist Tim Sult says material has a "doomed-out vibe"
Clutch have entered the studio to begin recording what will be their 12th album.
The band's last release was Psychic Warfare in 2015 – and after playing new tracks including How To Shake Hands and We Love A Good Fire live on tour in 2017, they've entered Sputnik Sound in Nashville to begin recording.
The band posted a picture of the interior of the studio, with the caption: "This is happening."
Last month, guitarist Tim Sult told The Advocate that the new material was "a little heavier" than some of their past work.
He said: "They're my favourite songs. At this point, we probably have more songs than we've ever had before going into the studio.
"The material is a little heavier. It has a more doomed-out vibe and feel. We're going to record more live."
Sult added: "It's our first time recording in Nashville. Who knows? We might end up with something that sounds like a Garth Brooks album."
Further details will be revealed in due course.
