Auckland spray is "probably carcinogenic" - 22 March 2015
The World Health Organisation's cancer research arm, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), has this week re-classified glyphosate as "probably carcinogenic to humans". The IARC reassessment published in the Journal Lancet Oncology is a wake- up call for Auckland Council and Auckland Transport says the Weed Management Advisory group (WMA). Speaking from New York where she is one of the authors of UNEP's forthcoming global assessment of gender and the environment, Dr Meriel Watts said that the use of this chemical on the roads, parks and sports fields in Auckland cannot now continue in the face of this latest damning assessment.
"For more than 25 years we have known of the evidence that glyphosate can cause cancer. But the regulators in New Zealand, and in other countries, have refused to heed it. As a result, countless numbers of children have been exposed to this chemical from roadside weed spraying as they walk to school, and in the parks and sports fields where they play" said Dr Watts.
"Children are particularly susceptible to carcinogens".
Dr Watts, who is a scientist and author has published several authoritative books on the subject of pesticides and cancer including her 2013 "Poisoning Our Future: Children and Pesticides" which details the scientific evidence for the insidious effects of pesticides on children.
"Children are not little adults. The activities they do make them more prone to accumulate pesticides in their bodies; and their developing bodies make them more prone to the negative effects of these toxic chemicals like glyphosate. Yet, governments and industry overlook these impacts on children's health despite the availability of safer alternatives."
The WMA says that they have been documenting, detailing and promoting these safer alternatives for years and that Auckland Council and Auckland Transport must wake-up now, drop their baffling and disturbing opposition to nonchemical weed management, and stop using glyphosate.
"It is totally unacceptable to continue to expose people, and especially children, to glyphosate in light of this ruling from the IARC," said Dr Watts. She emphasised that the IARC is a conservative scientific body "and if they say that glyphosate is a probable human carcinogen we can be sure that it is".
The WMA said they will be pursuing this urgently with Auckland Council, especially in view of the fact that the Long Term Plan budget proposes dropping nonchemical weed control in favour of increasing the use of pesticides. Hana Blackmore said this flies in the face of all reason, Council's own adopted policy, and the 2014 Human Rights Impact Assessment that confirms that continuing to expose Aucklanders to these toxic chemical sprays is a violation of their human rights.
"Both Auckland Council and Auckland Transport have a fundamental duty to keep people safe and protect their health and wellbeing. They need to take this latest UN Report and our human rights seriously, and eliminate these chemicals from our environment and our children's lives" said Hana Blackmore.
The WMA will be presenting to Auckland Council before Easter.
NZ BABY FOOD 800 TIMES MORE PESTICIDES THAN IN EUROPE! - 4th December 2014
New Zealand baby food contained nearly 800 times more pesticides than baby food in Europe, according to a recent analysis. This evidence and why this is a risk to New Zealand babies will be presented tomorrow to the Primary Production Committee by Dr Meriel Watts of the Pesticide Action Network Aotearoa and Alison White of the Safe Food Campaign(*).
Their oral submissions are in support of a petition presented to parliament earlier this year calling for zero tolerance of pesticides in baby food.
"We want New Zealand to follow the European directives which basically stipulate a zero tolerance policy", stated Ms White. "Three of the pesticides found in New Zealand baby food are hazardous for young children and babies in the womb. Kiwi babies deserve the same level of protection as they have in the EU."
Analysis of a government study shows more than 30% of New Zealand baby food contained pesticide residues whereas less than 1% (0.04%) of European baby food did so.
Five pesticides were detected in 32 baby food samples of the last NZ Total Diet Survey of 2009, which included testing of formula, cereal based, custard/fruit and savoury weaning foods. The EU analysis of 2,062 baby foods showed residues in only 0.04% of samples in 2010.
"Some of the pesticides found are carcinogens and endocrine disruptors, for which no safe level has been scientifically established, and doses thousands of times lower than those generally considered toxic are known to interfere with normal human development," said Ms White.
"Children have unique windows of vulnerability which adults do not have", said Dr Watts. "Extremely low doses which may not have an immediate effect on adults can critically interfere with children's ongoing developmental processes. This may result in lifelong alterations in growth and development, organ formation, as well as disease occurrence. One of the key outcomes of exposure to even tiny amounts of pesticides like chlorpyrifos is lowered IQ and delayed development."
Dr Watts is senior scientist for the Pesticide Action Network Asia Pacific, and last year published a book Poisoning our future: children and pesticides, in which she collates a substantial amount of research on why children are at risk from pesticides, even from very low doses.
The Safe Food Campaign also thinks the government should do a more extensive analysis of baby food.
"More extensive and regular surveys need to be done of baby food not only to monitor the proposed legislation but also to provide a more adequate baseline for comparison over time and with other countries," said Ms White.
New Zealand Joins International Action to Protect Children from Pesticides. - 9th June 2014
With the world using about 50 times more pesticides today than six decades ago, their harmful impact on the environment and human health has increased alarmingly – and evidence is growing that children are especially vulnerable.
On World Environment Day, Pesticide Action Network (PAN) Asia and the Pacific and PAN North America jointly launched a campaign to protect children from pesticides.
Aside from those used in agriculture and food production, pesticides used in homes, schools, gardens and public places expose children to debilitating and life-long health problems including birth defects, asthma, autism, cancers, diabetes, and other childhood and adult-onset diseases and disorders.
"Infants are infinitely more sensitive to pesticides than adults. At the early stage of their lives their immune systems, their endocrine systems and their neurological systems are all still developing, their brains are developing and they're very sensitive to the effects of even very small doses of pesticides," said Dr. Meriel Watts, senior scientific advisor to PAN AP and a New Zealand-based specialist on pesticides, and author of the book published last year, Poisoning our Future: Children and Pesticides - http://www.panap.net/sites/default/files/Poisoning-Our-Future-Children-and-Pesticides.pdf
The campaign highlights 20 pesticides that are particularly hazardous for children. All of them interfere with children's developing hormonal system (endocrine disruptors). Some cause acute poisoning, many are implicated in cancers including childhood cancers, and some cause behavioural changes and reduced intellectual ability in children. Twelve of the 20 are known to contaminate breast milk and 11 have been found in placental cord blood and/or children's first faeces – meconium – meaning the children are being born pre-polluted.
"That children are being born already contaminated with pesticides that will undermine their intellectual ability and their health for the rest of their lives, is a tragedy beyond measure. This must stop. It is up to every government to make sure that children are protected from these damaging chemicals by banning them and making sure they are never again used in our countries," Dr. Watts said.
Whilst the European Union has already banned 12 of the 20 pesticides, New Zealand continues to use 14 of them, including 7 banned by the EU. Some of these were partially reassessed by the EPA last year but their use was allowed to continue because farmers/growers said they need them.
"Apparently the New Zealand government cares more about what growers say they need, even though safer alternatives exist, than it does about children's health and the future of society. Just one of those pesticides, chlorpyrifos, known to reduce children's IQ, is linked by international scientists with a silent pandemic of developmental neurotoxicity that is undermining the functioning of society."
A summary of the effects of the 20 pesticides can be found here.
Factsheets on the 20 pesticides can be found at http://www.panap.net/campaigns/hhps/children-and-pesticides/20pesticides
The 20 pesticides are: atrazine, carbaryl, chlorothalonil, chlorpyrifos, cyhalothrin, cypermethrin, DDT, deltamethrin, diazinon, dichlorvos, malathion, mancozeb, maneb, methamidophos, methyl parathion, monocrotophos, paraquat, parathion, permethrin, propoxur.
Chlorpyrifos found in NZ streams - it should have been banned - 25th of July 2013.
A just published scientific study* on levels of pesticides in New Zealand streams has found that the most frequently detected pesticide is the organophosphate insecticide chlorpyrifos, found in 87% of samples taken from South Island streams.
"This is devastating news for New Zealand", said Dr Meriel Watts of Pesticide Action Network Aotearoa New Zealand. "Pregnant women and small children should not be exposed to chlorpyrifos. At very low levels it interferes with brain development in the unborn foetus and newborn infants, resulting in altered brain structure, lowered IQ, and behavioural changes including pervasive developmental disorder, leading to potential long-term consequences for social adjustment and academic achievement. The effects reported in studies are regarded by some scientists as comparable to those of lead and tobacco smoke. Chlorpyrifos is also an endocrine disruptor interfering with androgens, oestrogen, and thyroid hormones, and is a risk for breast cancer."
Chlorpyrifos is persistent in the environment and bioaccumulative. Residues of chlorpyrifos are widespread in the Arctic, even more common than endosulfan which New Zealand banned in 2008, and there are worldwide efforts to get it listed under the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants for a global ban.
Residues of chlorpyrifos have been found in the air over the Southern Alps, and this latest study found it in pine needles on organic farms were it is not used, indicating both its ability to move away from were it is used and its persistence in the environment.
"The EPA have recently reassessed chlorpyrifos and given it the green light even for aerial spraying despite its volatility. But they failed to assess it for persistence and bioaccumulation. They failed to assess it for long range transport, and they failed to properly assess it for neurodevelopmental effects. They completely ignored a detailed submission from PAN ANZ of information on safer alternatives for every one of chlorpyrifos uses that EPA had identified, and instead decided that because growers said they need it, they can have it. The EPA did an appalling job of its reassessment and now we have even more evidence that this chemical must go. What will it take before the EPA decides to protect the environment and peoples health rather than chemicals?"

Guatemala and India block listing of toxic paraquat formulation in the Rotterdam Convention Geneva - 10th of May 2013.
Industry representative deceives delegates by speaking on behalf of Guatemalan government.
Failure to list will deprive countries of their right to know and to take informed decisions about import Geneva, Switzerland (10 May 2013) – More than 120 government parties to the Rotterdam Convention support the listing of paraquat (20%) as a severely hazardous pesticide formulation in Annex III of the Rotterdam Convention. However, at the 6th Conference of Parties, Guatemala together with India blocked the listing of paraquat. A Convention listing would not ban paraquat but simply require exporters to notify and get permission from importing countries. Guatemala gave a long list of initial reasons for opposing the listing but finally admitted that they feared a listing would result in some countries in the region saying no to imports of paraquat from Guatemala (a major formulator of the herbicide). Delegates were even more surprised when they finally learned that the delegate speaking on behalf of the Guatemalan government at the beginning of the negotiation was actually an industry observer who did not reveal his identity to negotiators until a day later. The Secretariat later on expelled him from the conference. Nevertheless, the co-chairs of the Working Group concluded that no consensus for listing was achieved and proceeded to draft a decision document postponing the discussion to the next COP. The next day the African Group supported by others requested that the discussion on the listing of paraquat continue at this COP because the misconduct of the industry representative from Guatemala had derailed the process. However, this additional session did not change the position of India and Guatemala. Read the full Press Release here.

BAE Systems has completed another milestone in the construction of the first of two dump scows for Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Company. When complete, both vessels will be used to support dredging operations in the United States.
Employees and executives from both companies recently gathered at the foot of the 98 ton keel block as Steve Becker, vice president of Great Lakes Dredge & Dock, drove the ceremonial wedge and welded his initials in the keel of the first vessel, Hull 107.
"We're excited about this milestone in the first of what will hopefully be a long run of new build opportunities with BAE Systems," said Becker. "We are encouraged by the progress and quality of both barges to date."
The keel block measures 38 feet long, almost 31 feet wide and stands more than 23 feet to the main deck. Completion of a keel laying is determined by the commitment of the first module to its place on the launchway, where it will serve as the nucleus around which the entire vessel will be built.
"It's an honor that Great Lakes Dredge & Dock entrusted our team with this important project," said Victor Rhoades, director and general manager of BAE Systems Southeast Shipyards in Mobile. "We take that responsibility along with our partnership very seriously."
The design for the BAE Systems-built vessels was provided by Bay Engineering and is based on similar dump scows in the United States and abroad. The new vessels will also be U.S. flagged.
Both 7,500 cubic yard split bottom vessels will weigh about 1,600 tons and measure 295 feet long and 62 feet wide, with a draft of 17 feet. In October, BAE Systems began construction of the second vessel, Hull 108.
The contract demonstrates BAE Systems' continued expansion in the commercial shipbuilding market. In addition to the vessels currently under construction in Mobile, BAE Systems announced in August that it was awarded a contract with GulfMark Americas to build two platform supply vessels, with an option for two additional vessels in the future. Construction on the first 288 foot platform supply vessel is expected to start in January 2013.
BAE Systems in Mobile currently has approximately 950 employees and expects to reach 2,000 workers by the end of 2013.

Makita is expanding its line of miter saws by introducing the 10-inch compound sliding model LS1018. It has the same cross cutting capacity as the company's premium 10-inch model (LS1016) but is about 10 pounds lighter and sells for about $100 less. The lower price point was achieved by going with a simpler two-rail design (versus the four-rail design of the LS1016) and a different motor and electronics package. The two-rail design means the saw cannot be used as close to a wall but is one of the reasons why it is lighter. And it is not just lighter than the LS1016; at 43.7 pounds the LS1018 is 3 pounds lighter than the Festool Kapex, 7 pounds lighter than DeWalt's DW717, and as much as 20 pounds lighter than some other 10-inch sliding dual compound models.
Like Makita's other miter saws, this one is direct-drive so it achieves 100% power transfer and there is no belt to slip or wear out. It has a 13-amp motor, soft start, and an electric brake. Under no-load conditions it spins at 4,300 RPM, which is slightly faster than average for a 10-inch saw of its kind. What's interesting about this number is how it compares to that of Makita's premium saw. The LS1016 has a no-load rating of 3,200 RPM—a speed made possible by the inclusion of electronic speed control. The LS1018 does not have this feature so it must spin faster to begin with to avoid bogging down in heavy cuts.
The cross-cut capacity of the new saw is in line with that of competing models so it should be able to perform the majority of tasks a carpenter would expect to do with a saw of its kind. Features include an oversize trigger, extension wings, and a pair of rubberized handles—one for operating and the other for carrying the saw. For bevel cuts the left upper fence can be slid out of the way and the right upper fence removed. The trigger has a safety button.
This is not Makita's top-of-the-line 10-inch saw—for that you would want the LS1016 or LS1016L—but on paper, at least, the LS1018 appears to be a good value. No other name-brand manufacturer (Bosch, DeWalt, Festool, Hitachi, or Ridgid) produces a 10-inch sliding dual compound saw this light and sells it for less than $400. The LS1018 saw has been out since 2010 in much of the rest of the world and has just now made it here. The four-year time lag may be a blow to the egos of carpenters who consider themselves early adopters but is otherwise not a bad thing, because if there were any bugs with the original design they would likely have been worked out by now. We'll find out for sure in the coming months because Makita is sending us a saw to test.
Makita LS1018 Specs
Blade diameter: 10"
Arbor: 5/8"
No load speed: 4,300 RPM
Amps: 13.0
Weight: 43.7 pounds

When Archbishop Timothy Dolan becomes a cardinal on February 18, his second-grade teacher will be there.
Sister Mary Bosco Daly, who met the archbishop when he was a student at the Holy Infant School in Ballwin, Mo., has been there for "all the high points" of her former pupil's life.
"I've known him since he was 8 years old. That's quite a lifetime," the elderly Irish nun told the NY Daily News.
"He was just a regular boy growing up, but very good in every way."
Daly was there for Dolan's first Holy Communion and confirmation, and she helped him choose liturgies and songs for his first Mass as priest in his hometown parish. She was also there when he went to Rome in 2009 to be named the Pope's representative in New York.
New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan elevated to cardinal by Vatican
New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan - much power but little glory
Irish nun was key to Archbishop religious training
Daly, who is in her late 80s but will only admit to being on "the wrong side of 21," is once again making plans to visit the Vatican, this time to be one of the guests at St. Peter's Basilica for the consistory.
"I didn't think I'd ever live to see him cardinal," she said.
Daly returned to Ireland in the late 1970s, but she and Dolan stayed close.
"When he was studying in Rome, he came over to Ireland and I looked after him," said Daly, who now lives in a convent in Tullamore, County Offaly.
"I'm very proud of him," she said.
Dolan calls Daly his "spiritual mother."
Without fail, he will call on her birthday, Christmas, Easter and New Year's Eve, which is also the feast day for St. John Bosco.
"I'm always sure to get a phone call. Or flowers, or some gift," she said. "I'm just glad to have known him all these years."

Former Virginia Subcontractor Sentenced for Conspiracy to Bribe Officials at the United States Navy Military Sealift Command
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
A former employee of a government contracting company was sentenced today to 36 months in prison to be followed by three years of supervised release for conspiracy to bribe public officials at the United States Navy Military Sealift Command in exchange for favorable treatment in connection with U.S. government contract work.
Assistant Attorney General Leslie R. Caldwell of the Justice Department's Criminal Division, U.S. Attorney Dana J. Boente of the Eastern District of Virginia, Special Agent in Charge
Robert Craig of the Defense Criminal Investigative Service (DCIS) Mid-Atlantic Field Office, Special Agent in Charge Susan Triesch of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) Norfolk Field Office, and
Special Agent in Charge Royce E. Curtin of the FBI's Norfolk Field Office made the announcement today after McPhail's sentencing before United States Chief District Judge Rebecca Beach Smith of the Eastern District of Virginia.
Michael P. McPhail, 49, pleaded guilty to a criminal information charging him with conspiracy to commit bribery on Feb. 19 2014.
According to his plea documents, McPhail is a former employee of a Chesapeake, Virginia, government contracting company, referred to as Company A, which sought contracting business from the Military Sealift Command, the leading provider of transportation for the United States Navy.
At his plea hearing, McPhail admitted that from March 2005 to January 2007, he contributed approximately $45,000 of his salary toward bribe payments made
to two public officials working for the Military Sealift Command to influence them to provide favorable treatment to Company A in connection with United States government contracting work.
Specifically, McPhail and other Company A employees,
including Roderic J. Smith, the former president of Company A; Dwayne A. Hardman, the co-founder of Company A; and Adam C. White, a former vice president at Company A provided monthly cash bribes to two Military Sealift Command public officials.
The bribery conspiracy resulted in the payment of more than $265,000 in cash bribes, among other things of value, to Kenny E. Toy, the former Afloat Programs Manager for the Military Sealift Command's N6 Command, Control, Communication, and Computer Systems Directorate, and Scott B. Miserendino, Sr., a former government contractor who performed work for the Military Sealift Command.
In addition his prison sentence, McPhail was ordered to forfeit $57,000.
Earlier this year, four other individuals pleaded guilty in connection with the bribery scheme.
On Feb. 12, 2014, Toy pleaded guilty to accepting bribes from Company A employees.
On Feb. 18, 2014, Hardman pleaded guilty to providing bribes to Toy and Miserendino.
On March 5, 2014, Smith pleaded guilty to conspiracy to bribe public officials.
On April 4, 2014, White pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bribery.
On June 23, 2014, United States District Judge Henry Coke Morgan sentenced Smith to 48 months in prison and ordered him to forfeit $175,000.
On July 9, 2014, Judge Smith sentenced Hardman to 96 months in prison and ordered him to forfeit $144,000.
On July 11, 2014, Judge Smith sentenced White to 24 months in prison and ordered him to forfeit $57,000.
On July 29, 2014, Judge Smith sentenced Toy to 96 months in prison and ordered him to forfeit $100,000.
On May 23, 2014, a grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia indicted Miserendino and Timothy S. Miller, a businessman whose company sought contracting business from the Military Sealift Command.
The indictment charges Miserendino with one count of conspiracy to commit bribery, one count of bribery, one count of conspiracy to commit obstruction of criminal investigations and to commit tampering with a witness, and one count of obstruction of criminal investigations.
The indictment charges Miller with one count of conspiracy to commit bribery and two counts of bribery.
Trial is set for Sept. 30, 2014, before Judge Smith.
Charges contained in an indictment are merely allegations, and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
The case was investigated by the FBI, NCIS, and DCIS.
The case was prosecuted by Trial Attorney Emily Rae Woods of the Criminal Division's Public Integrity Section and Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen W. Haynie of the Eastern District of Virginia.

Popp puts own stamp on Als
On field at practice after Hawkins fired
MONTREAL -- The Montreal Alouettes are hoping things will get back to normal after the shock firing of head coach Dan Hawkins only five games into the CFL season.
That includes winning games and getting their powerful offence back on track.
General manager Jim Popp, who stepped in as head coach of the 2-3 team, was directing traffic on the field on Friday at practice a day after the change.
"We're trying to emphasize that we're going to have a new vision now from Jim Popp and it's the players' responsibility to take ownership of that vision and make sure it's carried out on and off the field," quarterback Anthony Calvillo said.
"The biggest thing for us is we know what type of team we should be. We truly believe now that with Jim in charge, the coaches are going to be able to do their thing, and teach us. That's what I'm looking forward to."
Some changes came right away. The short workout, the team's first since players returned from a bye week, was fast-paced. Popp had Calvillo march the ball down field while calling his own plays, which the veteran can expect to do more of that from now on.
"I'm used to directing people," Popp, who stepped in to coach for the third time in his 18 seasons as GM. "It feels normal.
"But it's not about me. It's just getting everything organized."
The knock on Hawkins, who got the job despite having no CFL experience and having never coached pro players, was he ignored the advice of his staff and players and made major changes to an offence that was one of the league's best last year under Marc Trestman, now coaching the Chicago Bears.
The result was confusion and a marked lack of creativity on the field, although it had begun to turn around with Hawkins' adviser, Doug Berry, having more input in recent weeks.
"Going back to training camp, there were things being installed that wasn't the typical offence we run with Anthony," said Popp. "We thought it would be an enhancer, but it became most of what we were doing.
"It's a combination of things, but it starts with the head coach."
There was question after the shakeup of whether offensive co-ordinator Mike Miller would stay on after he was given a reduced role. Berry is now acting as offensive co-ordinator, although without the title, while Miller will be mainly the quarterbacks coach.
But Miller was on the field, and it looks like he will stay.
"I'm excited to be here," said the former OC of the Arizona Cardinals. "I like the guys I work with and I certainly like the players.
"I go to work and I can perform in any role."
It helped that he got an emphatic vote of confidence from Calvillo.
"Doug is now our voice on offence, but I'm very happy Mike's going to stick around," the 20-year veteran said. "He has a lot of knowledge and I truly believe he'll be able to grow and make us better."

Friendly staff very helpful

you can not get better apartments and we have tryed - ronald
The staff were very helpful. The breakfast was great. The hotel was clean and I had left valuables in my room (forgot to put them in the free safe) and the cleaners did not steal anything. All in all a positive experience. - Anne Marie
Seeing as this hotel only opened up 5 days before I arrived it was
immaculate, clean, tidy, fresh, open, bright, welcoming and many more.
The best thing about this hotel was the Aircon as I always seem to
overheat in other hotels that offer it but it's just a fan on the wall,
this place has an up-to-date Aircon unit which was perfect, the shower
room has a huge cubical space which is perfect for me being 6ft6,
smaller cubicles make it hard to move about but not here. The beds were
nice a soft i - Anonymous

JD Wilkes and the Dirt Daubers (of the Legendary Shack Shakers)
Highly Suspect
World Cafe Live - Wilmington Upstairs
500 N. Market St.
Wilmington, DE, 19801
This event is all ages
JD Wilkes and the Dirt Daubers (of the Legendary Shack Shakers)
Ladies and gentlemen!
The Dirt Daubers have come down from the mountains and landed squarely in the middle of the Mississippi Delta. Yes, you heard right... J.D. Wilkes (of the Legendary Shack Shakers) and his former Old-Time band have decided to plug in (!) to both his blues roots and a regulation, A.C. power socket.
Having recently added electric guitar and drums, the Dirt Daubers are now poised to expand the appeal of their roots-based tunes with a whole new Swamp-Blues/Rock n Roll kick!
.For rock and roll trio Highly Suspect, making and performing music isn't a hobby, or even a profession. It's a way of life. Founded by twins Rich and Ryan Meyer, and their best friend Johnny Stevens in 2009, this literal band of brothers have gone from playing cover sets on the shores of Cape Cod, to playing original material at countless venues and dive bars in New York City. They now live in Brooklyn, and after recording a 3 song EP The Worst Humans with producer Joel Hamilton (Elvis Costello, Plastic Ono Band, Black Keys/Wu-Tang Clan), are working on a new album. Their current sound has been to compared to Band of Skulls, Pink Floyd, and early Kings of Leon. In their single "Bath Salts", The twins play off their primal connection to hold down a rocking, tension filled rhythm section, while lead singer Johnny's dirty, lo-fi vocals play into the songs' themes of recklessness and wasted youth. "We have been rogue, nomadic, bohemian, and poor for years now, but we stay together because this life and this music is what we love" says Johnny. The band is currently working on new material and expects a new album in late 2013.
