What are your favorite new gins?
- p
- PhillyCook Feb 28, 2012 11:12 AM
I'm a gin lover who recently had to take a 9 month vacation from drinking. During that time I've been watching with fascination as the gin section in the liquor store expands.
I'm thinking about doing a big gin buy to sample some of the new stuff, but prices are reasonably high, and I want to be somewhat discerning.
Tell me, Chowhounds -- what are the new gins you're loving? I adore Bluecoat (I live in Philly) and I loved Aviation when I got a chance to try it in Portland last year. I tried a tiny sip of The Botanist Islay Dry Gin, and we've got a bottle of that at home, waiting for me to be ready for it -- it was pretty nice, I thought, though I haven't had the chance to sample it fully.
I've read good things about Comb 9, Death's Door, and Fifty Pounds, but I haven't tried them yet. I've seen but know nothing about Farmer's Botanical Small Batch Organic, Dry Fly, Seneca Drums, G'Vine, Right Gin, Martin Miller's, Brandon's, and Tub. I know there are tons more out there that I haven't even seen yet.
I'm not to into Genever or Old Tom -- though I could be persuaded to try them again if you offer suggestions on what to try and how to mix them well.
Help me out, Chowhounds! Tell me which of these new, small batch, artisanal, foreign or local gins you love.
re: monopod
I'd like to recommend Leopold's Navy Strength Gin. I've got to settle into the bottle a bit more, but my first impression of it was extremely positive. I used it in a Bijou (see recipe below). Some gins can get lost a bit in the Green Chartreuse, but the Leopold's Navy Strength really brought a lot in its own right. It's not just higher proof. It's got a different botanical list and ratio.
Bijou Cocktail
1 oz. gin
1 oz. Green Chartreuse
1 oz. sweet vermouth
1 dash orange bitters
Stir and serve up. Garnish with a twist of lemon and a cherry.
I've enjoyed Ryan & Wood's Knockabout made in Gloucester, MA, and North Shore No. 6 made in Chicago.
Of the ones you've mentioned, we have and like Death's Door and Martin Miller's. Death's Door is the least standard of the bunch (stripped down to 3 botanicals). MM's is solid and also comes in a high proof Westbourne Strength that is worth seeking out.
re: isadorasmama
Can you drive into DE? Kreston's and Total Wine are where I go often
I really like Hendricks and Nolet's
Nolet's for smoothness makes Hendricks look harsh when I tasted them side by side neat (room temperature)
Its fairly expensive thogh but has a unique profile - makes a very good rangoon gimlet if you are so inclined - but mixing is perhaps not the best use of the gin but if you have been away from the gin ahwile why not :)
re: Dapuma
For a gin with a similar subtle flavor profile to Hendrick's, I really like Citadelle. It is about half the price here in NC ($20 vs $35, $17 vs $31 on sale). In a blind neat comparison I found them virtually indistinguishable.
re: ncyankee101
wow that is really high priced for hendricks
hendricks on sale is usually 26 or 27 bucks
I will check out Citadelle gin next time i have a chance - thanks for the recomendation
re: ncyankee101
Tried Citadelle last weekend
I don't think Hendricks or Citadelle taste remotely similar - I thought CItadelle was more toward Nolets than Hendricks although unique it its own flavor i thought it was rougher than both - It was very citrusy and floral
i had brought it over to a friends house and had brought a small container of St Germaine and i thought St Germaine balanced it out nicely with some club soda and it was even better with orange seltzer water - so i think it has its uses and it is around 6-8 less per handle than hendricks
It is a bit more harsh and floral / citrusy than Hendricks, the Mrs did not care for it - so we will stay a Hendrick's household - but if you like to add orange notes to your gin drinks i think citadel is a great way to go and for less money
re: Dapuma
I guess because my palate is more experienced with whisk(e)y and rum, I have trouble picking out the subtleties in delicately flavored gins. Pretty much any gin without much juniper presence (other than New Amsterdam blecch) tastes similar to me. On the other hand I was comparing them neat and could probably taste the subtle differences in mixed drinks.
re: ncyankee101
i tried the citadelle neat, it is over 80 proof so it was firey on the tongue - i knew it was time for mixed drinks then heh
re: Dapuma
Dapuma - what ratios were you using with the St Germaine and club soda when comparing Hendricks and Citadelle?
I have tried it cut 50/50 with club soda, 2:1:1 club:gin:aperol and still couldn't tell the difference. When I tried 4:2:1 soda:gin;Thatchers elderflower I did pick up a little more citrus in the Citadelle, but I still think they taste very similar. I would have to say the hendricks seems more floral to me, at least in the nose.
re: PhillyCook
It's pretty juniper forward -which is probably what I like about it. There are other botanicals, gentle citrus peel for example. It's over 90 proof, so a bit of a "pop" neat, but it's not "hot," as one might expect. It's "twist" gin and makes a fine 4 to 1 martini with Noilly (and you can leave out the bitters).
re: MGZ
Agreed, Junipero is spectacular. I had thought the bartender was magical in the expensive joint where I first tried it in a Martini, but the gin just really has something. A bit of the oiliness of a dutch gin, I think, is what seals it for me. It IS strong but agreed with MGZ, it is not hot, it does not taste powerful, but I do know that I cannot drink it without caution.
re: Up With Olives
Another Junipero fan here with one caveat, I think it's too strong for a martini. In gin based cocktails I think it is exceptional and assertive enough to stand up in to anything (fantastic in Negronis). But on it's own I personally find it too hot.
re: Klunco
Perhaps I like it in a Martini because I usually drink them anywhere from 4-to-1 to 6-to-1 depending on ingredients. That said, Junipero can sneak up on one...
re: Up With Olives
While I once sipped a shot glass full of it with a joyous smile of discovery curling my lips, Junipero is an affable spirit, most comfortable when spun together with its friend vermouth. It's not Churchill's gin, nor is it created to be soiled by "dirty"-ing with brine.* And, yes, Klunco, it does make a fantastic negroni. Moreover, having been out seeing my buddy's band until almost 2 this morning, I submit that it even shines more brightly in a 50-50 bloody mary.
*Given your 'name,' I am more than happy to 'hear' your view of this thought.
re: Delucacheesemonger
Is the Ransom Old Tom very, well, Old Tom like? I mean, the old fashioned sweeter style of gin? Or does it have a more contemporary flavor?
And I'll ask you as well -- tell me more about the Junipero. I actually haven't tried it yet. But it looks like its going on my list.
re: PhillyCook
Ransom is supposed to be an Old Tom, not a contemporary gin. So yes, it is somewhat sweeter than your average New American gin -- but not at all syrupy. It's quite bold, with upfront juniper and spice notes, very smooth, and in my opinion extremely well balanced. I've tried it in a few cocktails and it has worked very well (Tom Collins, naturally), but I agree with Delucacheesemonger that it's excellent neat, as a sipper. And that's how I tend to use it when I reach for the bottle.
isadorasmama -- The premium state stores tend to stock a few interesting items, although these also seem to come and go. It's also become a lot easier lately to order online -- or so it seems; I haven't actually tried this yet. But I think it's now possible to order a single bottle, rather than having to order by the case, and they have several of these gins available on the website http://www.finewineandgoodspirits.com....
Also, I'll admit that I take the occasional illicit jaunt over state lines to New Jersey or Delaware to the Total Wine. Everything is cheaper there (though more so with wine than with spirits -- but I like wine, too, so that's okay) and the selection is considerably larger. Although it can still be difficult to find West Coast small batch spirits.
re: PhillyCook
Thanks for responding. Have you found the Fine Wine and Good Spirits site to have high shipping costs? I need to take a look see over there. I'm nervous about having anything confiscated.
I was recently in the Bay Area and went to this place after seeing it online:
They have a phenomenal selection of artisanal/craft liquor and I was able to walk out of there with an amaro I can't find anywhere around Philly. I talked to them about shipping here and they won't do it. But they said they might consider shipping to Jersey, which can be problematic but not as much as here.
I'd love to find a local place to buy interesting spirits. Too bad this area isn't more agreeable to selling a more varied selection of stuff.
I just realized why you might have taken a 9 month hiatus from drinking. If I'm right, congrats on the birth of your baby!
Holy mother! Just saw that the Fine Wine and Good Spirits place is taking on $14 for shipping for 1-3 bottles. Yikes.
re: isadorasmama
Was at Cask @a month ago, and indeed great store. My two recent west coast gins were purchased at Canal's in NJ. If it is not on the shelf, they can get it for you.
re: Delucacheesemonger
Very interesting. Did you have to order a case, or would Canal's order for you by the bottle?
re: PhillyCook
Got 2 of one and 3 of the other. They would have gotten me as few or as many as l wanted.
re: Delucacheesemonger
Great to know. Thanks! Which location did you go to? Does it matter?
re: isadorasmama
Canal's Hainesport, ask for Joe Huber
re: isadorasmama
You got me -- that was indeed the reason for the nine month break. Thank you for the congratulations!
Did ya see this article about Hangar One's 3 new gins? The one I tried (sorry, I forget which one ;/) ), was really great. http://articles.chicagotribune.com/20...
I would recommend Breuckelen Distilling's Glorious Gin. It's not a London dry. They Lso age it as well but that one is harder to find. I like to sip on them neat or over ice. They make great martinis, negronis, bloody Mary's, pretty much any drink I made with them.
I also found this cool video
re: Twosugah
I think the Breuckelen gin is horrible. Only 4 botanicals and very unbalanced.
re: Canadian Tuxedo
Ethereal is a limited-edition gin with a different recipe and label color for each batch. Its a pretty cool concept. I believe Yarm has tried several. The bottle I tried was way too floral for me, but then I'm not big on that flavor category.

re: Canadian Tuxedo
I tried the "Greylock" gin and was underwhelmed for the price. I found it too light for my tastes.
Has anyone tried or seen any of the St. George gins in the Boston area? I've heard great things about them and the blends sound interesting.
re: Canadian Tuxedo
I like all the Berkshire Mountain gins. Chris Weld makes good stuff.
Flavored spirits aren't my favorite style of liquor, but I recently tried Tanqueray Rangpur Gin and really liked it. I figure gin is a flavored liquor anyway, so introducing the flavor of Rangpur limes shouldn't be too off the mark. It first appealed to me since I like limes instead of lemons in my G&Ts. I went back to my regular gin for the meantime and am saving this for summer. Should be very nice then on a warm evening.
re: RelishPDX
Personally I think the rangpur is pretty horrible. Way too much rangpur flavor, overwhelmingly so.
re: barleywino
It was interesting, but not for a regular use gin. I did play around with it in cocktails and had a few decent creations, but none worth writing down. I liked it on the rocks.
re: signofthefourwinds
A quick email to Toby Maloney, formerly of the Violet Hour, got the recipe.
The Public Purse
1.0 oz Averell Damson Plumb Gin
1.0 oz Death's Door
.75 oz fresh Lime Juice
.125- oz Rothman & Winter Violette
.50- oz Simple Syrup
21 drops of Peychaud's Bitters
1 Egg White
Glass: Coupe
Ice: None
Garnish: Orange Pigtail Knot
Shake all ingredients WITHOUT ice for 30-60 seconds. (This is called a Dry Shake. It emulsifies the ingredients and should be done with all cocktail recipes that call for egg; egg white, yolk, or whole egg.) Add ice and shake for 20 seconds. Strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with orange zest twist, twisted into a tight coil, called a pigtail knot.
re: signofthefourwinds
Depends on how big the drops are!
According to a few sources the average drop size is around 1/20th of a mL, so just use 1 mL of Peychaud's, or just shy of 1/4 tsp.
re: signofthefourwinds
So about 6 drops out of of a Peychaud or Angostura bottle is about a dash. So I'd assume with this recipe that the creater is slowly tipping the bitters bottle and slow counting drops instead of a hard shake dash.
With medicine droppers the number is typically higher. I measure 10-12 drops per dash for the droppers I use.
re: BillB656
That is good info to know, thanks. I think at the Violet Hour, where I had that drink, they do use dropper bottles, so it was probably closer to two dashes than four.
Hey JMF, do you know how to translate a Violet Hour "drop" into a regular (if there is such a thing) dash from a bitters bottle?
re: signofthefourwinds
As Bill said, common acceptance is 6 drops to a full dash, if using an Angostura bottle. Other bottles have different size apertures. Many high end cocktail bars put bitters in dropper bottles, and also spray bottles.
There are apx. 20 drops per ml., and 5ml in a teaspoon, (15 ml. per tablespoon) so four teaspoons
re: davis_sq_pro
There are several cocktails that have large amounts of bitters in them.
re: davis_sq_pro
Yeah, I totally spaced out. I do that at times. I meant dashes, not teaspoons
re: JMF
Did Toby happen to mention who in particular created in, and perhaps what year? Publishing minds want to know ;)

re: EvergreenDan
Sorry, I didn't ask.
re: barleywino
At Yarm's suggestion, I tried a bottle to alternate with Plymouth Sloe Gin. It seems like a reasonable sub for that, although it is not as bitter and challenging as real sloe gin. It was reasonably priced. I tend to use it in sours for people who might not enjoy some of my more challenging cocktails, and it is well-received as such.
As JMF said, it is not more a sub for regular gin as sloe gin is. For me, it's too sweet to enjoy on the rocks -- hence the sour. I don't think you could make much of a flavored "Martini" with it -- dry vermouth doesn't have enough acidity.

I like the Bombay Sapphire East. Comb 9 is pretty nice. I was just at their distillery today.
My favorite so far has been the second batch from Pemberton Distillery. At this point, I think they're only selling it from out of the tasting room in the distillery. From what they have told me, they had no intention of going down the route of producing a gin given multiple small distilleries offering such a thing here in BC, but when they found local juniper, they couldn't resist. They're doing it batch style and changing up the recipe a bit each time. The first batch was very juniper forward with just a touch of citrus and hard to place botanicals. The second? They moved the citrus up, so you still have this bombastic blow of the juniper placed against this wonderful floral-y citrus and then the intermingling of still hard to place botanicals, but they're even a touch stronger on the palette... Even if I can't quite place them based on the flavor.
I ran out of my supply since I was last up in Pemberton and need to run up there again. If I remember right, they had it bottled at 46%. Not only did I make my favorite martini ever with that stuff, but it stood up so well to everything else I put it against.
re: thatwhileifound
Being that you are from BC, what are your thoughts on Victoria Gin? My wife brought me back a bottle when she was there in March and I have yet to take it through the paces.
re: hawkeyeui93
I'm very split in my opinion. It's very smooth and light. When I first sipped it on its own, I was really excited, but I found it didn't hold up to most drinks the way I'd hoped it would. It tastes nice, but it just doesn't have enough kick for me. YMMV depending on what you look for in a gin though.
re: thatwhileifound
My regular daily gin is Boodles or Bombay Original and I primarily make a Gin Buck ....
re: hawkeyeui93
What type of Ginger Ale are you using for your GIn Buck?
re: signofthefourwinds
My favorite is Sioux City Ginger Beer or Vernor's Ginger Ale. I also do not mind Schweppes or Seagrams. The Dr. Pepper Snapple people are testing a permuted ten calorie ginger ale: Canada Dry Ten, which I recently got for .14 cents a two-liter after coupon recently and it is tolerable. I also use fresh lime juice when I am out of fresh lemon juice.
re: signofthefourwinds
Q Ginger Ale makes a great gin buck, too.
re: foodeye
I will have to look out for it ....
I've been a big fan of Greenhook Ginsmiths American dry gin. Very floral and very smooth for it being 94 proof. Only problem is that you can only find it in New York.
The NY Times published an article on the subject, including a tasting:
re: MGZ
Ha. I was about to post this link too. Best value: Berkshire's "regular" gin, Greylock. No mention of their "out there" gin, Ethereal, in which every batch is a new flavor profile. The one batch of Ethereal that I tried was too floral for me, but I can see that I need to try regular Greylock.
I wish the article had included some of the top main-stream gins for comparison sake.
re: EvergreenDan
It would have made for a good contrast ....
re: McCleanman
Actually, I have to agree with you. And I know 8 out of 10 of those gins distillers/owners. Some of those gins are very good, but some are mediocre.

Karthick, Mukund power TNCA President's XI to Buchi Babu quarters
TNCA President's XI sealed a 152-run win over Kerala in the 2nd round of the Kalpathi All-India Buchi Babu Invitational Tournament at the IIT-Chemplast grounds in Chennai on Tuesday, securing a quarterfinal spot.
It was a top order show for the President's XI, as openers KB Arun Karthick (82) and Abhinav Mukund (50) attacked the Kerala bowlers, adding 122 runs for the 1st wicket in just 38.5 overs. Captain Subramaniam Badrinath (67) too, cashed in on the opportunity and got to his half-century. Baba Indrajith, who top-scored with a 91, ably supported his skipper and together they raised a 103-run 3rd wicket partnership. At the end of day 1, the President's XI racked up a huge total of 371/7 in 100 overs.
Kerala, in response, were subjected to the off-spin of Malolan Rangarajan as he bagged figures of 5/63, dismantling the batting order on day 2. The Kerala innings was wrapped up for 219 in 72.1 overs, thereby granting a quarterfinal place to the President's XI.

Exo-Politics Lyrics - Muse
Review The Song (34)
Open the skies over me,
I am waiting patiently,
I'll wait for a sign.
As conspiracies unwind,
Will you slam shut,
Or free your mind,
or stay hypnotised.
When the Zetas fill the skies,
Will our leaders tell us why,
Fully loaded satellites,
will conquer nothing but our minds.
And I've waited patiently,
And I'll wait for the sign.
Carried through the centuries,
Secrets locked up,
And loaded on my back,
when it weighs me down.
When the Zetas fill the skies,
It's just our leaders in disguise,
Fully loaded satellites,
will conquer nothing but our minds.
And I am waiting patiently,
And I'll wait for the sign. (Yeah).
And I'm waiting patiently,
I'll wait for the sign

What the fuck | Reviewer: Apimil | 10/19/13
The review right before mine is the one which is the most nonsensical on this page
It's not like "the gouvernment is conspirating against us to hide the alien truth" it's more like "The aliens are conspirating against us by making the government thing it's not a danger so they can hide it and forget"
good song BTW
Aliens - the truth | Reviewer: Robert-Daniel Jackson | 4/16/12
aliens are hostile creaturs ... they are the fallen angels , they are the annunaki and the nephilim . They are not your friends . They were secretly working with the government . The whole purpose of the apollo missions were to bring an alien/demon named apollo to earth to one day conquer it while embodied in a young , charismatic man ... the antichrist . When things started getting suspicous , NASA put out the lie that the moon landing was fake , so people wouldnt realize the real reason they went there.These aliens will actually claim to save us from the government and the elite/illuminati , but they are actually the rulers of the illuminati . The illuminati/elite will let the alien demons conquer them for the purpose of the greater evil .
Disclosure Project | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/26/12
Search "The Disclosure Project" and look at things Dr. Steven Greer has said, these Zetas are out there right now, infact, any star or dark spot in the sky can be an alien craft that "watches over us." And, these aliens are peaceful. If there were any hostile alien civilizations out there, our planet would have been toast by now with the technology they have, and even the peaceful aliens have that type of technology. Anyway, their technology cooperates with thought, mind, consciousness. And, the government has this technology like anti-gravity and infinitive energy to help fuel machines. Basically, we could have had floating cars 50 years ago and been off this economic crysis of fossil fuels and coal. The "Secret World Government" called Majestic has taken these technologies and kept them classified because they do not want the religious sectors of the world getting out of hand, and the big part, they don't want to move away from this multi-trillion dollar industry of fossil fuel. The government doesn't like change, and if this technology gets to the public, the whole world will change, and this multi-trillion dollar industry of oil will be gone and wasted. These technologies I'm talking about react with pure mind and consciousness, which every human being has. "Do they live among us?". Yes. And how these extraterrestrials get here through the vastness of space is through these transdimensional technologies which enable you to travel faster than the speed of light through consciousness. The government is trying to make us not want to engage with these beings by making fake sightings. The government is basically trying to make us believe that these alien civilizations are evil and want to "kill all humans" with images such as Greys and little green men. This is not true. And, how you can contact these aliens is through a meditation state of mind, and vector them to your area with your mind. So, after reading all of that, and by the way that wasn't even one twelfth of all the information on this subject, you must be wondering how this relates to the song.
"Open the skies over me, I'm waiting patiently.". This statement refers to when you are in the meditation faze waiting for an extraterrestrial ship to respond to your call through consciousness. Dr. Greer has clips from expeditions he went on where they contact extraterrestrials and you can see the "Zetas" or spacecrafts flying and zooming past the stars in the sky.
"...or free your mind..." also refers to the state of pure, coherent thought you must be in to contact these beings underneath the sky.
"When the Zetas fill the skies, will our leaders tell us why" refers to the extraterrestrial ships filling the skies trying to communicate with us PEACEFULLY. And the second part refers to the secret Majestic group covering up this information.
"Fully loaded satellites..." refers to the thing the ETs fear, us putting weapons into space, which is also one of the secret things our government is doing.
"Will conquer nothing but our minds." refers to how these satellites are also being used to contain our consciousness, which to me and Dr. Greer is debatable, but possible.
"I'm waiting patiently, I'll wait for a sign..." refers to again a person who is in a state of pure, coherent thought waiting for the ETs to make contact.
Here's an important part:
"Carried through the centuries, secrets locked up, and loaded on my back. Well it weighs me down." Well, this first refers to how the government has been keeping this secret for centuries (50 years). It also seems to relate to a person who works for the secret government group who has had many secrets built up inside him which is making him want to tell the truth to the people, but knows that he cannot due to the secret government literally owning him. However, just as a side note, the government does not own the people, and if we can rise up against this, they will have no choice but to back down and reveal the truth.
All of these things are also somewhat shown in Muse's other popular hit song, "Uprising."
This is of course a hard thought to get through your head if you just now heard about this by reading this comment. If you aren't convinced by me, and I'm not expecting you to be, search Dr. Steven Greer, or the Disclosure Project, or CSETI.
Also (Disclosure Project) | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/26/12
The statement in the song where he says
"When the Zetas fill the skies, it's just our leaders in disguise.". He is talking about how the government is flying around in these man-made spacecrafts, which use the same type of technology as the ET spaceships, but they are not extraterrestrial, they are man-made. Infact, when people talk about getting abducted and there are cruel things being done to them by "Aliens," it is an attempt to freak us out by making us think that extraterrestrials are hostile creatures. THEY AREN'T! Infact, they are in some ways related to us. The government just doesn't want the people of earth to change there ways from where they are right now due to the financial losses and religious freak-outs. However, the earth needs this change in technology, because the technology we have right now is killing the biosphere of the Earth, and the extraterrestrials are trying to help us preserve the Earth, but it cannot be done if this secret government prevents the public from knowing these things. And believe me, the extraterrestrials are not going to let one generation of men kill the Earth, they will get this technology out to the people somehow. And I think this will happen sometime here in 2012, hopefully. And if not, it will not be far from now.
This song is in no way intended to be ambiguous. | Reviewer: tcaT | 12/10/11
1 The art or science of government as concerned with creating or influencing policy toward extraterrestrial phenomena and extraterrestrial beings.
2 Exopolitical actions, practices, or policies.
3 The exopolitical opinions or sympathies of a person.
4 The total complex of relations between the human race and non-human, intelligent beings.
"When the Zetas fill the skies"
As with the song's title, this refers to Zeta-reticulans - aka alien greys, filling the skies with spacecraft.
The song is about the secret, long standing relationship the world governments have had with alien life.
As the song suggests, this will play out in time, but for reasons most will not be aware of. But to dance on the side of conspiracy, the agenda is hidden in plain sight.

He is telling you to keep your shit together when you begin to feel bombarded with too much fear. When you feel as if your world is falling apart, know that you have a choice. When you realize that you have free will, you will understand that no harm can come to you. Fear is a sickness.

Thanks to all the CORRECT interpretations of this song! I really learned a lot what REALLY goes on in our world. Just google some of the mentioned topics and leads to discover a WORLD of TRUTH.
Don't listen to anyone who laughs or gets angry about information: if somebody is not able to be RATIONAL about some issue, it means the person is mirroring his OWN troubles with digesting this information, projecting it on you. This is common psychology.

i personaly reckens he believes in alien and he wants to say but waiting for when they recken its the right moment the sign. The whole loaded satelitates is the human 'star wars' program weapons in space, but they would be fruitless and just for are minds
You're all insane | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/23/11
There is NO scientific data that reveals that we have been contacted by aliens.
IF there were, it would be KNOWN. Scientists are looking to make remarkable discoveries.
Don't you think that more papers on this subject would have been published?
Yes, governments are corrupt and manipulative, but not to the extreme that you psychos are talking about.
And who cares if the major religions are destroyed? It's all bullshit fairytales anyway.
Religions have been replaced for centuries.
I mean, just look at 12 gods of olympus...
That was replaced and forgotten.
damn... | Reviewer: Calmeister | 6/23/10
(Almost) every song in 'The Resistance' is about the NWO, and a few songs from BH&R link into 'The Resistance'. 'Exo-Politics' literally means 'outer-politics' -a political system that we dont see.
anyway, for the review :D
This song has a f&#@ing amazing intro and Matt's crazy vocals help it so much. He almost doesn't reach the note on the first "will conquer nothing but our minds" and it kind of works:D
Tieing only to their rivals (breaking benjamin) muse is the best band ever!
Project Blue Beam is a load of rubbish | Reviewer: enlightenedSoul | 6/20/09
It's definitely what the song is talking about, but if you go searching for information on the topic, you get a lot of very "certain" statements about Satan and the end of the earth and the destruction of Christianity.
How would they do this? According to the PBB people, it was supposed to happen (started?) in 1983... by the government creating earthquakes to destroy local religious landmarks so that they could then beam images of a new religious order, combined with using radio frequencies to control our minds and make us believe the holographs that are in the sky. This would then be used to create a new world government through a "process" called "Regionalism" (which is not actually a process... these dolts don't even know basic Poli Sci) where the government would ensure absolute control over the populations of the world by... get this... ensuring that no state in the world grew larger than 20 million people so that no one state could subvert the control of the NWO by virtue of the fact that each state controls themselves.
Following that? The argument is that by being small individual states, it would guarantee central control.
Oh and back to the new religion... that would obviously be UFOs because... well... we're destroying Christianity, right? I mean, that's where the UFOs come in... it just... like... makes sense... or so they say.
Come on people... this stuff is beyond the pale. I'm willing to entertain lots of possibilities out there and frankly, I believe some stuff that most normal people think is wacky and, in my opinion, most normal people really do have the wool pulled over their eyes...
But PBB is nonsense... I haven't even read anything that details anything actually supposedly tied to it, yet... it's all loose "we have the tech to do this" kind of stuff.
As far as I can tell, the central premises of the conspiracy are that:
- The antichrist is real and controlling the world and that mind-controlling technology requiring thousands, upon thousands of volunteers to operate is going to be used to control everyone else.
- That Christianity is supreme and that our understanding of religion is accurate.
- That anyone can get the countries and ethnic groups of the world to work together to ensure that we all dupe ourselves.
- That aliens are somehow involved, oh and the musical Hair... is somehow involved. Hair because someone heard a line that they tied to 1983 (which is obviously 1984 - 1, because George Orwell is regarded as a prophet, which he wasn't). And aliens... I really have no idea how they wound up here except by virtue of the fact that Project Blue Beam bares a striking resemblance to Project Blue Book... in name only, of course...
Oh My God... | Reviewer: Toria | 5/30/09
I read a few of these reviews, and a few of them mentioned something called 'project blue beam'. i had absolutely no clue waht that was, so i did some basic research. None of it is viable, and though I plan to find some viable information about this soon, it seems like that if you have the background facts,this song is black-and-white. For those who dont know, Project blue beam is a government project that will happed four steps.
1) discredit all relegious beleifs of every relegion on the planet, particularly Islam and christianity
2) Conduct a huge 'light show' in the atmosphere of the earth. Im not sure what is means, but step three is much more important.
3)where a 'messiah', made of all religons main gods combined will say that all of religion has been misenterperited, and all people will beleive this 'messiah' because our minds have been trained to do so.
4)this 'messiah'will tell us that an alien invasion is iminent, and that an antichrist has appeared to destroy us all. The alien invasion though, is 'good'. The aliens have come to save us.
these thoughts will be inescapable. A type of beam will exist that will enter are brains through everywhere-optical wires, telephone lines, television, etc.-as put in a slide show i watched "like an evil matrix"
To relate this to the song,
"Open the skies ocer me,
I am waiting patiently,
I'll wait for a sign."
Relates to someone who knows about blue beam waiting for the first sign of invasion, because they know it is comming.
"As Conspiracies Unwind,
Will you slam shut,
Or free your mind,
or stay hypnotised."
The 'conspiracies probably refers to the undoing of modern religion. 'Slam shut' means stick with what you beleive, 'free your mind' means to take in information and make your own assumptions, and 'stay hypnotized' reffers to having your brain taken over; when you become a zombie of the government.
"When the Zetas Fill the skies,
Will our leaders tell us why,"
This reffers to that when the 'invasion' comes, the government will play dumb, like they always have, and always will.
"Fully loaded satelites,
will conquer nothing but our minds."
Meaning that the only thing that we will loose in this invasion is ourselves, and that it is from within that we must fear.
"And I've waited patiently,
And I wait for the sign."
Again, this is a person informed about project blue beam. This person will be prepared when it happens, and will try to tell the world at the first sign.
"Carried through the centuries,
Secrets locked up,
And loaded on my back,
and it weighs me down."
This part makes me think that this knowing person is/was an insider with a hand in project blue beam. The secrets are the extreme secrecy of project Blue Beam, 'loaded on my back//and it weighs me down' means that this person has to carry the knolage that they are doing the wrong thing by making PBB. If isolated 'weighs me down' can mean that the person is preparing to expose the secret, because the 'weight' is too mcuh.
The refrain means something different this time.
"When the zetas fill the skies,
It's just our leaders in disguise,
Fully loaded satellites,
will conquer nothing but our minds."
I think that is is probably the most debatable phrase in the song.
I personaly beleive that this is an informal version of what the informed person is going to say to the public. Basicly "when the aliens try to take over, its just our government tyring to gain control over us through fear. They have satalites that will send pulses through our brains that will force us to beleive them"
"And I am waiting patiently,
And I'll wait for the sign. (Yeah).
And I am waiting patiently,
I'll wait for the sign"
The song end with this, and its another phrase of how the person is waiting for the first sign, so that he or she can (hopefully) save the world.
I dont nessicerily beleive that PBB is going to happen or even exists, but it's a highly facinating concept, and I sugjest you look it up. Read a few different sites, and make sure you've got the full stroy before you make an assumption though, please. Most of the websites you get off google are either highly biased, uninformed, closed-minded, or swung to favor a particulary political party.
Thank you for reading this unnessicarily long review, and congradulatiions if you actualy read this far.
Hey | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/20/09
So this song is about New World Order. "As conspiracies unwind, will you slam shut or free your mind, or stay hypnotized" is talking about the awakening of the human race and the unveiling of the NWO. Look it up, Matt is interested in it, so it makes sense that he would write a song about it.
ps. It is not about 1984. I promise.
No, it's not 1984. | Reviewer: D | 4/3/09
Osc, I've read 1984, but I don't remember any mention of the Zetas in there... I can't really relate this song to 1984. There's only one part of it that really could relate to it, and that's
"As conspiracies unwind,
Will you slam shut,
Or free your mind,
or stay hypnotised."
But that could relate to a lot of books and situations out there.
Plus, if you consider The Book 'the sign', it doesn't really make much sense, because in this song, 'the sign' seems highly anticipated, whereas in the book, it's hardly mentioned from the day Winston finds out about it to the day he receives it. In fact, I don't think it's mentioned at all. And even after he gets it, he doesn't read it straight away, so that shows that he's not THAT excited about it.
So, all in all, I disagree with you and the points you make.
Awesome song anyway. :)

Total Recall London Premiere Celebrity Pictures of Jessica Biel, Kate Beckinsale
Jessica Biel and Kate Beckinsale Mix It Up For Their London Premiere
Kate Beckinsale, Colin Farrell and Jessica Biel teamed up for the London premiere of Total Recall last night. The ladies changed into their white-carpet finest after a busy day of hopping around the city doing press. Kate and Jess were a study in contrasts — Kate went for a long, black Donna Karan and Jess picked short, white Giambattista Valli. Kate's husband, Len Wiseman, was also on hand for the event. Jessica and Kate have become quite a premiere duo. They have their posing act down, having also taken the film to screenings in Dublin, Berlin and LA. The picture debuted in the US earlier this month, but failed to make a big splash at the box office. The stars are hoping for more success overseas — Total Recall is released in Australia on Aug. 23.

Join George Katsiaficas and PM Press for the book launch of Asia's Unknown Uprisings Volume 2: People Power in the Philippines, Burma, Tibet, China, Taiwan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Thailand, and Indonesia, 1947–2009at Shaping San Francisco and for a a book launch and discussion.
Ten years in the making, this book provides a unique perspective on uprisings in nine Asian nations over the past five decades. While the 2011 Arab Spring is well known, the wave of uprisings that swept Asia in the 1980s became hardly visible. This book begins with an overview of late twentieth-century history—the context within which Asian uprisings arose. Through a critique of Samuel Huntington's notion of a "Third Wave" of democratization, the author relates Asian uprisings to predecessors in 1968 and shows their subsequent influence on uprisings in Eastern Europe at the end of the 1980s. By empirically reconstructing the specific history of each Asian uprising, significant insight into major constituencies of change and the trajectories of these societies becomes visible.
It is difficult to find comprehensive histories of any one of these uprisings, yet this book provides detailed histories of uprisings in nine places (the Philippines, Burma, Tibet, China, Taiwan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Thailand, and Indonesia) as well as introductory and concluding chapters that place them in a global context and analyze them in light of major sociological theories. Richly illustrated, with tables, charts, chronologies, graphs, index, and footnotes, it is the definitive, and defining, work from the eminent participant-observer scholar of social movements.

Just two years after upping taxes by 15.83 mills for 2012, county supervisors on Monday set a tax millage rate of 84.08 for 2014, up from 64.72 mills in the prior tax year.
During a budget work session on Sept. 11, Tunica County Tax Assessor/Collector Norma Anderson explained the effect of such an increase: on a home valued for tax purposes at $100,000, the county tax rate was previously 64.72 mills, producing $647.20 in taxes. For 2014, the rate will likely be 84.08 mills, and the taxes on that same house will be $840.80, or an increase of $193.60.
Local art gallery showcases Mississippi talent
Artists in Mississippi have a new place to call home right here in Tunica at the Crooked Letter Art Gallery. Heather McGregor, owner of the gallery, said she recently opened it to bring something new to the area.
"I looked around Tunica. I know they have the Arts Council and a lot of creative people, but they didn't have anywhere for those people to get together to sell their work," McGregor said.
The idea was a hit, as it has already attracted a wide variety of artists from throughout the state.
"We feature only Mississippi artists," McGregor said.

Inspections, Compliance, Enforcement, and Criminal Investigations
Oraceutical, LLC 17-Sep-03
Department of Health and Human Services
Public Health Service
New England District
September 17, 2003
R. Eric Montgomery
Oraceutical, LLC
815 Pleasant Street
Lee, MA 01238
Dear Mr. Montgomery:
An inspection of your facility located at 815 Pleasant Street, Lee, MA was
initiated by an investigational team from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
on June 30, 2003 and completed on July 8,2003. This inspection verified that
your firm manufactures and distributes medicated ear drops for veterinary use,
such as Biotix and Clear. The labels for these products include claims that
establish your products are intended to be used as drugs. Because your products
are not the subject of approved New Animal Drug Applications (NADAs), they are
unsafe under Section 512(a) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the
Act) and thus adulterated under Section 501(a)(5) of the Act.
Section 201(g)(1) of the Act defines a drug as any article intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease in man or other animals. Section 201(v) of the Act defines a new animal drug as one which is not generally recognized among experts as safe and effective. New animal drugs may not be marketed in the absence of an approved NADA demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of the product.
Your products are labeled in part:
Biotix: - MEDICATED EAR DROPS WITH HYDROCORTISONE *** Aids in the Treatment of Bacteria, Fungus and Yeast Infections of the Ear *** BIOTIX contains 3 active enzymes and a peracetic acid system that have been shown to be antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral *** For Veterinary Use Only
Clear: - Cleaner and Medication All In One *** CLEAR contains 3 active enzymes and a peracetic acid system that have been shown to be antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral
Based on the above labeling, the marketing of these products violates the Act.
The representations on the labeling for both of these products indicate that the products are intended for use in the prevention of disease in animals and that they are intended to affect the structure or function of animals. The products are therefore drugs under section 201(g)(1) of the Act. The products are also new animal drugs under section 201(v) of the Act because FDA is not aware of any scientific evidence showing the products are generally recognized as safe and effective.
Because none of the products listed above are covered by an approved NADA, as required by section 512(a)(1)(A) of the Act, the products are unsafe under section 512(a) and thus adulterated pursuant to section 501(a)(5) of the Act; they are being illegally marketed.
This letter is not intended to be an all-inclusive review of the products your firm markets. It is your responsibility to ensure adherence to all applicable regulations and provisions of the Act. You should take prompt action to correct these deviations. Failure to promptly correct these deviations may result in regulatory action without further notice. Possible actions include seizure and/or injunction.
You should notify this office in writing, within fifteen (15) working days of the receipt of this letter of the specific steps you have taken to correct the noted violations. If corrective action cannot be completed within 15 working days, state the reason for the delay and the time within which corrections will be completed.
You may direct your reply to Karen N. Archdeacon, Compliance Officer, at the address noted above. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact Ms. Archdeacon at (781) 596-7707.

Love this handbag.....but
By ROSEMARY
from CALGARY
This handbag is very on trend, extremely well made and so fashionable in the snakeskin leather. Having said that, when I received it and took it out of its wrapping, I noticed that it was quite heavy. That speaks to the quality of the leather that Soprano is known for using and the excellent workmanship. However, I put my items in it, and it got so much heavier. I thought I would give it a good go, but after carrying it for a couple of days I found it was quite fatiguing to carry for any length of time. That is the ONLY that reason why I am returning the bag. It is an awesome bag for the right person.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Soprano Fan
By Shelley
from Ottawa, On.
After much indecision about colour, I ordered this bag with the black trim - my thinking, that for me, it would extend the season of use for the bag. I'm a huge Soprano fan and can't say I've ever been disappointed by one of Sylvia's bags - and I have quite a few. As per usual - the leather and workmanship are top notch. This bag has a really interesting shape - access to all the different compartments of the bag is very easy. The turn-lock and magnetic closures have worked seamlessly. The interior of the purse does not have a cell phone pouch and the one zippered pocket on the interior is not very big. But, these aren't deal breaker features for me. The gold tone hardware is a very subtle shade and doesn't clash with other metals. I've had the bag a few weeks now and it's become an easy bag to reach for. Another Soprano purchase that I'm really pleased with.

Jordan PM receives Turkey FM
By Saddam al-Yahiya, Sunday, May 04, 2014
AMMAN - Jordan's Prime Minister Abdullah Ensour on Sunday received visiting Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, diplomatic sources said.
The talks touched on bilateral relations and the Syrian crisis, the sources said, noting that the two officials hailed deep-rooted relations between Ankara and Amman.
During the meeting, the Jordanian premier paid tribute to a recent visit by a high-level economic delegation from Turkey to Jordan, led by Economy Minister Nihat Zeybecki, the sources added.
The meeting also tackled the rising number of Syrian refugees in both countries and how the two countries can cope with the situation, they added.
The top Turkish diplomat arrived earlier in the kingdom to attend the third 'Ministerial Meeting of Countries Neighboring Syria' in Jordan's Zaatari Refugee Camp, northeastern Jordan.

Resisting for the River
Communities in southeastern Nepal are fighting against a proposed big dam project
"Ensure the rights of indigenous people to water, forest, and land." The words are painted in thick pink Nepali script on a rock above the Saptakoshi River. A narrow path below leads to the proposed Saptakoshi Multipurpose High Dam site. It is April, the air thick with the heat of the mid-morning sun in the Eastern Hills of Nepal, and the distant figures of sari-clad women squatting by the river's edge are made hazy with the dust. A few miles from this point, in the riverside village of Barahkshetra, Maya Pariyar sits outside her shop, selling colored threads and orange plastic jugs to the people who come to pray by the holy river and the temple at the water's edge.
photo by Janika Oza
Barahkshetra is one of the first villages that will be flooded if the 882.5 foot-high Saptakoshi Dam is constructed here as a joint project between India and Nepal. It is in this village that local residents opposed to the dam, prevented government representatives from performing a Detailed Project Report assessing the potential impacts of the dam back in 2008. And this is where, according to Pariyar, all the people of the surrounding communities will gather to oppose the dam project if and when the construction begins.
"To have this river, this temple, is a natural gift for our community, so it should not be destroyed in the name of the high dam," Pariyar says.
The Saptakoshi River, as the largest river basin in Nepal, is viewed as a source of life and death: it has been mentioned in various Hindu scriptures as Kausiki and is home to many ancient settlements and temples. The temple of Barahkshetra, just downstream of the proposed dam site, is said to be the place where Ganesh the elephant god descended to bathe, and is also the confluence of all seven river tributaries, making it one of the holiest places and a major pilgrimage site for Hindus.
Like Pariyar, many residents of Barahkshetra and the surrounding villages feel that their perspectives are being excluded from negotiations about the dam, which was initially proposed back in 1953 as a means of controlling the annual floods downstream in the state of Bihar, India. The proposal was dropped due to high costs, with the Indian government choosing instead to build a …more

BP Oil Spill Left Rhode Island-Sized 'Bathtub Ring' on Ocean Floor
Study finds 10 million gallons of oil settled and coagulated on the floor of the Gulf near the Deepwater Horizon rig
By Anastasia Pantsios
The aftereffects of the April 20, 2010 explosion of the Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico and the subsequent massive oil spill that gushed for three months go on and on and on—in the lives of Gulf-area residents and businesses, the legal offices of BP and its contractors, and in the courts.
A new study reveals that the disaster, which BP claims has been cleaned up and its impacts exaggerated, left a deposit of oil the size of Rhode Island on the ocean floor.
photo by Green Fire Productions, on Flickr
Researchers from the University of California, Santa Barbara, University of California, Irvine, and Woods Hole (Massachusetts) Oceanographic Institution, led by geochemistry professor Dave Valentine from UCI, have published a study Fallout Plume of Submerged Oil from Deepwater Horizon. Analyzing sea sediment, they discovered what they referred to as a "bathtub ring," saying it "formed from an oil-rich layer of water impinging laterally upon the continental slope (at a depth of 900 - 1,300 m) and a higher-flux 'fallout plume' where suspended oil particles sank to underlying sediment."
"Following the sinking of the Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico, an unprecedented quantity of oil irrupted into the ocean at a depth of 1.5 km," the study said. "The novelty of this event makes the oil's subsequent fate in the deep ocean difficult to predict. This work identifies a fallout plume of hydrocarbons from the Macondo Well contaminating the ocean floor over an area of 3,200 km. Our analysis suggests the oil initially was suspended in deep waters and then settled to the underlying sea floor. The spatial distribution of contamination implicates accelerated settling as an important fate for suspended oil, supports a patchwork mosaic model of oil deposition and frames ongoing attempts to determine the event's impact on deep-ocean ecology."
The official government estimates said that about 5 million barrels of oil were released into the ocean in what the study refers to as an "uncontrolled emission."
"Among the pressing uncertainties surrounding this event is the fate of 2 million barrels of submerged oil thought to have been trapped in deep-ocean intrusion layers at depths of 1,000 - 1,300 …more

Deep Undercover: Police Officer in UK Fathered a Child with an Activist as Part of an Investigation
Court settlement raises new questions about ethics of police infiltration
What are the limits — if any — to undercover policing? At what point is a moral, ethical, or legal threshold crossed when an undercover operative insinuates himself into a targeted group or the lives of its members?
Last Thursday British media reported that the UK's Metropolitan Police would pay £425,000 (about $686,000) in a settlement with a woman, known only as Jacqui, who was conned by a man who fathered her first child, said that he loved her, and then one day disappeared. She knew him as Bob Robinson. His real name, as she would learn 25 years later, was Bob Lambert. He was an operative with the Special Demonstration Squad (SDS), a special unit within the British police that infiltrated a host of environmentalist groups to gather intelligence. In several cases the operatives, almost always men, established long-term intimate relationships with women in order to gain access to the world of underground animal rights or environmental activists.
Photo by CGP Grey
Jacqui's was 22 when she first met Lambert. He was more than ten years older than her, and had already been a member of the Metropolitan police for several years. He went undercover in 1983 not long before he met Jacqui. As Rob Evans and Paul Lewis explain in their book Undercover, Lambert's mission was to work his way into the "intensely furtive, hard-core wing of the animal rights movement: the Animal Liberation Front." Having a girlfriend who was already trusted and well connected within activist circles was one of the easiest ways to become a "deep swimmer," a phrase used by members of the SDS to describe spies who completely immersed themselves in the groups they were monitoring. In addition to Jacqui, Lambert is known to have had romantic relationships with three other women during his career as an undercover operative. Seven other women have also filed charges against the Metropolitan police.
The revelation that she shared her life with a man she did not really know has wrecked Jacqui's life. The Guardian reports: "The woman has been receiving psychiatric treatment and has contemplated suicide since she read a newspaper in 2012 and found out the true identity of the man who …more

Indigenous Communities Challenge Big Oil in Belize
Groups push to keep US Capital Energy out of Sarstoon Temash National Park
The old school bus rattles along the dirt road, heading through the rainforest to the southernmost reaches of Belize. The sign would be easy to miss. Morning glory vines climb the small, rusted notice off to the right, nearly blending in with the banana plants and palm-thatch roofed houses in the Mayan community of Midway. Sarstoon Temash National Park. No Hunting, Fishing, Logging Or Fires.
A few hundred feet down the road, there is another rusting metal sign outside a small building that serves as the community health clinic: U.S. Capital Energy Belize. Oil Company Working For The Community. Like the clinic, the school and pre-school across the road are painted in the Texas-based oil company's colors, yellow and green. Even the metal garbage bins around here are emblazoned with the company slogan: Energy that becomes life. The road ends where it meets the Caribbean Sea in the small Afro-indigenous Garifuna community of Barranco, one of the villages buffering the park.
Photo by The Advocacy Project
The Belizean government created Sarstoon Temash National Park — a 42,000-acre swath of waterways and lands rich in biodiversity that forms part of traditional Mayan territory — in 1994 without community consultation, but local communities have largely come to embrace the protected status of the area. And they have refused to cave to US Capital Energy as it attempts to develop oil prospects both in and outside of the park, pointing to the lack of consultation as well as the government's double standards when it comes to environmental protection.
"I mean, [the Belizean government is] going to tell me you can't go and cut the leaves you want to make a thatched roof without their permission, you can't go and fish, and you can't do farming there — but it's okay for a company to come and put a big rig in there?" says Tricia Mariano, president of the local Barranco branch of the National Garifuna Council, a group that works to preserve and strengthen the culture of the Garifuna people. "It's contradictory," she says, laughing.
Communities in the Toledo District of Belize have pursued two distinct paths of resistance, advancing a local indigenous conservation model within the park while also challenging oil …more

Washington Completes the First Fully Electrified Scenic Loop Drive
Travelers can now take 440-mile zero-emissions ride through the Cascades' glacier-clad peaks and evergreen forests
One of the most scenic road trips in the nation, Washington's Cascade Loop Scenic Highway leads travelers on a 440-mile journey through a wilderness of glacier-clad peaks, past towns that proclaim their Western heritage, amid lush evergreen forests, alongside thriving vineyards, and across islands jutting into Puget Sound. With the recent installation of the final charging station, travelers can now navigate the entire scenic loop drive in an electric vehicle. Whether it is a day trip from Seattle, a week-long adventure, or something in-between, the strategically placed charging stations make it possible for electric car enthusiasts to undertake green travel as they wind their way through Washington's diverse landscape.
With more than 60 charging stations along the route, even cars designed for the urban commute can navigate the loop without losing their charge. A 2014 Nissan Leaf, with a range of less than 100 miles, was the perfect vehicle for a test ride.
Photo by Craig Damlo
Everett, located 30 miles north of Seattle, is an ideal starting point for those on the western side of the state. Heading out from Everett, the Stevens Pass Greenway provides electric vehicle drivers their first challenge as it climbs from sea level to the 4,000-foot pass. Charging stations along the way offer the opportunity to enjoy the scenery of quaint mountain towns, and the ski area at the summit allows drivers to charge before heading down to the Wenatchee Valley with its multitude of recreation possibilities.
From the Wenatchee Valley, the route heads north along the east side of the Cascades, hugging the Columbia River past fruit orchards and vineyards and eventually climbing into the heart of the North Cascades. Charging stations are available in picturesque towns such as Chelan, on the shores of magnificent Lake Chelan, and in the old west theme town of Winthrop. The final charging opportunity before climbing the pass is the mountain resort village of Mazama. From Mazama the route climbs over Washington Pass, which, at an elevation of 5,476 feet, is closed in winter. West of the pass, a charging station in Newhalem provides the boost needed to make it back down from the mountains. The route continues into Puget Sound over the Deception Pass Bridge and along Whidbey Island. Scenic island hamlets …more

50 Years Ago, the Anti-Nuclear Movement Scored Its First Major Victory in CA
An interview with Bill Kortum, who helped lead the opposition to a nuke plant at Bodega Bay
Fifty years ago, on October 30, 1964, the American environmental movement scored a major victory when California utility Pacific Gas & Electric said it was abandoning plans to construct an atomic energy plant at Bodega Bay, about 70 miles north of San Francisco.
The struggle to protect Bodega Head is widely viewed as the launch point of the US anti-nuclear movement. The mass demonstrations at the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant, the opposition to PG&E's development of the Diablo Power Station on the California Coast, the long-running American Peace Test actions against the Nevada nuclear test, the massive Nuclear Freeze marches – all of them came in the wake of the struggle against building a nuclear plant outside this small fishing village that would soon become better known as the setting of the Alfred Hitchcock thriller, The Birds.
To many Northern California residents today, it is amazing that such a proposal ever existed; that otherwise sane people thought it was a good idea to build a nuclear power plant at the Bodega Head. At the time, however, most Americans were pro-nuclear, including most self-indentified "conservationists" or "environmentalists," a word that was just then coming into use. So it fell to an ad-hoc band of citizen-activists to raise the alarm about the power plant and to spearhead the opposition to it. If those concerned citizens had not risen up to oppose this ill-conceived plan, we would be living in a different Northern California today, saddled no doubt with an aging industrial forbidden zone on what had once been a beautiful rocky outcropping on the coast.
I had the chance to speak with Bill Kortum, one of the few people still living in Sonoma County who was involved. Although I had prepared a set of questions to ask for the interview, most of them were swept away by Kortum's eagerness to just spill his thoughts and memories of the six-year "Battle of Bodega Bay."
Today, the pit that PG&E started excavating for the planned power station, known locally as "the hole in the head," has become a small pond on the ocean's edge – evidence of how nature can heal itself when we stop our destructive practices and get out of the way.

Missouri's "Right to Farm" Amendment has Family Farmers Worried
New measure aims to preempt potential animal welfare and environmental regulations in the state
The right to farm. It sounds innocuous enough. Shouldn't we all have some right to farm if we want to? Probably, but that isn't exactly what Missourians were getting at when they passed a constitutional amendment this summer to protect the right to farm.

The amendment, known as Amendment 1, or the "right to farm" amendment, guarantees Missouri citizens the right to "engage in farming and ranching practices." It seeks to protect farming operations from new laws, such as anti-GMO legislation or animal welfare regulations, that would change or ban practices that Missouri farmers currently used.
Amendment 1 passed by a slim margin; so slim that there was a vote recount in September. After all the ballots were counted, and recounted, the measure passed by 2,375 votes out of nearly a million ballots cast. As the tight margin suggests, the amendment stirred up quite a bit of controversy, not to mention confusion, in the state, embroiling family farmers, big ag, animals' rights advocates, and GMO activists.
Amendment 1 opponents worry that the vaguely worded law will give industrial agriculture the upper hand when it comes to farming policy and regulation in the state, easing the way for large-scale farms to dominate Missouri's landscape. They are also particularly concerned that the measure will be used to challenge existing and future animal welfare regulations and environmental measures, including confinement conditions for hogs and poultry, limitations on puppy farms, pollution controls, and potential GMO labeling laws. The amendment, they say, will hurt smaller-scale family farms.

"What I expect is that this sort of greases the shoot for corporate agriculture in Missouri," says Richard Oswald, President of the Missouri Farmers Union. "It's not going to be a dramatic change, it's just going to more of the same, with more and more takeover of what used to be things that independent family farmers did." Oswald believes it will also "nullify those family farmer friendly statutes that we already had on the books that did help protect agriculture," …more
