I have never been one to keep quiet when I sense an injustice. Indeed, some would say I have forged a career out of pointing out things that many would consider professional suicide. Whether it's losing my business after pointing a finger at the homophobia of insurers such as Zurich Life for their Draconian treatment of gay men, or calling "time" on conceptualism, which cost me my job as chairman of the Institute of Contemporary Art, or sacrificing my seniority within the Tory party when I coined the phrase "nasty party" in a desperate bid to bring the party to the central ground it now enjoys under David Cameron. But I have resisted writing this article, like a frightened child. Because this time, I run the risk of getting arrested.
A few weeks ago, I read about Ray Gosling who described a pact he'd had with his lover who was dying of Aids 20 years ago, and was suffering dreadfully. Mr Gosling agreed to help him end his life, smothering him with a pillow. I felt sorry for Mr Gosling, but more, I felt guilty for keeping quiet. Like many gay men of a certain age, I too have witnessed assisted suicides. Many, in fact.
Aids dominated my twenties. It can be hard for those who weren't there to understand what it was like. Although we had fantastic Aids wards (the best at the time being St Mary's Hospital, London), little was known about the virus and panic was everywhere. We didn't even really know how it was spread and, while we talked of condoms constantly, we were only guessing, and prayed that you couldn't catch it from saliva or even by air.
My involvement with the world of HIV happened by chance. I moved to London to start my first business at the age of 19, with little money and nowhere to live. I was directed to a squat run by a guy called George, who told me on my arrival that he was HIV-positive. As he introduced me to my fellow housemates I learned that the others living in this Camden-licensed squat were also HIV-positive. Camden had let them live there together because no one else would have them. It was as if they'd been quarantined.
I remember the fear that I felt as I wondered whether I was at risk simply by living there. To my endless shame, on being offered a slice of cake my host had baked as a welcome gift, I took it to my room and threw it away, too scared to eat it. It only took me a couple of weeks to realise how naive I'd been. It took me years to confess to George what I'd done. From that day, I started what can best be described as a living amends. That cake became the catalyst for a business that would provide insurance and mortgages for people in HIV highrisk groups, and free advice to anyone with HIV. We handled thousands of HIV-related inquires, often sent to us by the Terrence Higgins Trust, and were inundated with personal finance horror stories, as newly positive individuals saw their worlds disintegrate and all options close.
Although I remain free of the HIV virus myself, the 1990s found me at the centre of the London Aids scene and fighting the discrimination that gay men faced because of Aids. I was a regular visitor to Aids wards and people's homes, often paying for special care and treatment. I also took people in the final stages of the disease on holiday, in the hope that getting them away from the misery of it all would give them an extra lease of life.
Aids was so stigmatised 15 years ago that people hid the truth from everyone, including friends. Banks and insurers would close your accounts if they heard. Employers would sack you. Parents disown you. Even death certificates were routinely altered to say "cancer" or "pneumonia", despite these being only symptoms. Religious fundamentalists told us that "Aids was God's punishment for homosexuality". Aids was rarely mentioned at the funerals.
It is harder still to describe how terrifying the disease was and why "assisted suicide" pacts were necessary. But let me try. First, we knew nothing: the disease was terrifying because anything could go wrong and often would. Opportunist infections ranged from horrible skin cancers to huge red blotches engulfing the face and nose. Large lumps and swellings and the risk of any simple cold or flu turning into something that could kill you in weeks – like a breeze turning into a tornado.
The drugs we pumped into their systems – AZT in particular – were believed to cause more harm than the virus. I remember friends finding it hard to locate veins because they, along with the bones in their arms, had started to disintegrate as this toxic slew travelled along them. Blindness and an Alzheimer's-like state would usually engulf victims for the last month or two of life, leaving these poor immobile souls, covered in horrible sores, locked in a dark prison of pain and fear.
How could they be helped to bring it to an end? Usually, an overdose of morphine was the answer. I have never heard of anyone ending another's suffering by smothering them (as in the case of Mr Gosling), but it must have taken tremendous courage. However, I did hear about, and even witness, doctors overprescribing morphine on numerous occasions for just such a purpose. They would usually do this by leaving the carer a "slightly increased" surplus amount each week, so there was eventually enough for an overdose, but without arousing any suspicion.
Certain doctors and local GPs would get a reputation for being more sympathetic and found themselves taking on all the Aids cases in their catchment area. I suspect this informed their attitude towards assisted suicide and how much to do and being prepared to show how to do it. Helping someone to die isn't easy.
Gay men were unable to marry in those days. But no one could take from us how we chose to die. If the dose couldn't be administered by the doctor, it was usually a quiet and deeply private moment shared between two lovers who'd been through hell together. I remember going outside to the garden on one occasion after hearing the man's partner ask, "Are you ready?" and seeing a slow painful "nod" in reply. I felt their mutual relief as I saw him lift the syringe, and I left the two to share this intensely private moment. Although I heard of many such incidents and was present at a few, I had no appetite to watch this moment, which on the few times I was actually there always found me in tears. In this instance, the surviving partner knew that this gruesome fate also awaited him.
On one occasion, the partner and patient held a party (I recollect this was at St Mary's). The two lovers and other friends brought balloons, ate cake and we sat round the bed in celebration – a living wake – at the end of which the patient said his goodbyes and when we'd all left took the final dose. Living wakes became quite a frequent occurrence, although this was the only one where the outcome was made clear to us in advance.
This was Aids London. Stoic and unsung; modern-day lepers. There was a kind of blitz spirit. This option was the only control they had.
I have often heard people say, "I'd kill myself if I ever caught Aids", and likewise, I have heard people predict the level of pain or immobility that would persuade them to take the final dose. On the whole, we are far more resilient than we ever imagine. Most people who thought they'd take the dose when incontinent and bed-ridden usually go on to the bitter end.
One friend of mine, in the final throes of an extreme agony, finally turned to his partner and gave him "the nod", even though he wouldn't have survived another night. We had all gathered to see him, having been told that he "wouldn't be around for much longer". From what I heard, usually this kind of mercy is rarely supplied more than a day or even a few hours before what would have been the "natural" time of death.
But having the option there provides enormous comfort because it allows the patient a degree of control over the torture. It allows them to sustain the agony on their terms knowing that the decision to go on is theirs alone. And, in a strange sort of way, the blind-eye policy that has enabled doctors and patients to make this decision when the time comes has worked. But for the vast majority who haven't got doctors prepared to take those kinds of risks, or with relatives who are opposed, this is not an option. And those who opt to fly to Switzerland are required to buy a flight and make an appointment for a date which might turn out to be sooner than they are ready. The existing "blind-eye" option gives people as long as they can bear.

Leeds / Lincoln roots troubadour Sam Cooks project- 'Bad Ideas' has truly found its feet since beginning in early 2010, elegantly blending poignant lyrics with powerful guitar and vocal melodies that compliment each other throughout every uplifting stand out song.
Having grown up on a diet of Chicago based punk rock bands and being romanced by the rootsy, old school revival of folk and country vibes creeping into punk rock music, Bad Ideas has a sound that uniquely sits between the gaps of punk, indie and folk.

Also, I used to think Dallas was not right on most of his stuff! Then I started looking into his work. I use Photoshop as well. I started reading about Ear biometrics and that really opened my eyes. Before you question him, maybe look into what he is doing rather than just throw him under the bus because you can not be bothered to research.
Ear biometrics is not the only thing that he does. He looks for voice matches, lens distortions, writing analysis, even body movements as well as face recognition. He also releases his research and asks others if they too can see it! On the occasion that he is wrong, he admits it. I've been following his work for over a year.
The one thing that most do not know about him is that he has a treasure trove of video and pictures that he doesn't release to the public. It's his backup info. So for every pic you see, he probably has 1-200 backup pics analyzed on any person that he outs.
Why do you think he has not been sued yet? It's because he could destroy these people in a court of law if they did. I'm sure that he would love to do that too. I've seen him online tell people to do it. They never fallow through because they know they have been caught dead to rights.
So whenever he releases this info, you better not be caught sleeping. Dallas is one of the reasons that they want to shut down the internet and free speech. You can add many many others to that list. Dutchsense is another one.(wether manipulation) Danny Wilten is another one!(past history)
You don't have to believe everything that any of these guys say. But closing your mind to them just because you don't believe one thing is tarded. Everyone has something to offer if you listen.
You can save the pro-Dallas rhetoric.
I have a medical background and have researched several Doppleganger cases and know about pinna (ear) biometrics. I also study craniofacial morphology and compare hand sizes (finger length, etc.), foot sizes, stride, dentition, voice, etc.
He makes glaring mistakes, not only in his "recognition" but also in his FACTS. Unlike you, I have never seen him issue a correction/retraction on anything. I did gently correct him on something in the comments section of his website, which he censored so it never was published.
The symbolism on his website suggests that he is a Freemason. I have outed him before on this site and others.
I will never, ever completely trust him. Like all disinfo agents, there are a few nuggets of truth in his bullshit (my trademark phrase that others here have copied and pasted).
He sucks. Once in a great while, he gets it right.
Hahahahaa 28872856
What has he gotten wrong?
and I never said he was 100% right all the time. I only want people to have an open mind before dismissing him completely.
He has issued the corrections on his Facebook page. Really good reads from there. Way better than his You Tube channel will ever be!
SEVERAL "mistaken identities" involving the Quartzsite, AZ case and others. He also wrote (again, on his website -- I have the good sense to stay away from FaceSpook) that Quartsite is in Pima County! (FALSE! I should know.) I wrote him about that, but he ignored me.
He is spot on on the Gabriel Giffords case and the Greenberg couple in this case, but that is IT (from what I have seen). Everything else has been incorrect and/or bullshit.
Based on his website (again, not Facespook or his YouTube account -- his freaking website!) logo, he IS a Freemason.

Gerard Butler Strings Along Violinist With Sidewalk Grope-Fest

For a guy who is supposed to be cozying up to Jennifer Aniston, Gerard Butler sure does get around.
Seems the Scottish star continues to explore his many romantic options, despite his flirty, if make-out-free, appearance at the Golden Globes with his "Bounty Hunter" co-star and their so-called "loving" looks while manning phones on Friday during the Hope for Haiti telethon.
RELATED: See what other stars took part in the Hope for Haiti telethon
On Sunday, Butler was photographed with his lips (and mitts) all over a woman he purportedly met while she was playing violin along the Venice Beach boardwalk.
According to shutterbugs on the scene, Gerry, decked out in unsightly camouflage shorts and accompanied by some pals, stopped to hear the musical lady do her thing. But instead of tossing the traditional tip of, say, a buck or two in her violin case, he ponied up his digits.
Then, perhaps feeling that this was a bit chintzy on his part, the actor also offered up a little something extra: his most suave, saliva-soaked moves, with snappers catching his hand wandering toward the lady's Lycra-encased derriere as they kissed and clinched on the sidewalk.
RELATED: See more photos of Gerard Butler
For Butler, it was just another fun-filled night on the town. The previous evening, he joined Jessica Simpson and a dozen or so pals for dinner at a Santa Monica steakhouse.
But like the duo's previous bread-breaking in New York last October, this get-together wasn't so much a date as a group outing arranged by mutual friends.
Besides, if the starlet was looking to jump back into the dating pool following her reportedly short-lived romance with Billy Corgan, chances are she would have worn something more flattering than acid-wash, ankle-length jeans forged in the darkest depths of the '80s (seriously, perm-topped babes in Whitesnake videos wouldn't be caught dead in those things).
Anyhoo, with Gerry's social life as active as it is, it's understandable that he sometimes has a night when he's off his game.
And that brings us to this little nugget from the New York Post, which claims Butler drew a blank when he encountered "One Tree Hill" starlet Sophia Bush a few days back at Los Angeles restaurant Ago.
"They had previously met, but Gerard seemed to have no idea who she was," relays a bystander. "He looked puzzled, and then said, 'Oh yes, you look completely different from when I last saw you. Have you changed your hair?'"
Nice recovery attempt, but Sophia's coif was the same as always, which makes us wonder what the odds are that he'd be able to pick his violinist pucker partner out of a lineup.

Recovering mildewed peonies
I moved into a house with 3 peonies already in the narrow urban backyard. The first year, only one bloomed a little, and they died off to mildew toward the end of the season. Last year they didn't bloom at all, and were killed quickly and severely by powdery mildew. I cut off the dead foliage and did not compost it. Mildew also affected the zinnias, but not as severely. The beds are narrow with lots of sir circulation and full sun.
Will these plants recover? What can I do to prevent the mildew problem? I am not keen on chemicals.
(Between the mildew, the black spot that came with the roses, the Canadian Thistle invasion, and the squash vine borers that kill all my squash, this new yard has been tough!)
Last year for the first time I had a fungus problem on some of my peonies. When I cut them down in the fall I applied a good dose of Bordeaux mix to the soil and cut down plants. We had late warm rains last year which I think was the cause of the outbreak. Al

From a Child's Point of View
I got this in my email this morning, and thought there might very well be some in here in a situation, or KNOW someone in a situation where they might benefit from reading this story, as told through the eyes of a 13 year old boy whose father was dying of cancer. It's pretty tough:
It was just another day in middle school -- joking around, making fun of kids, and disrupting classes. Math was the last one of the day and most kids found it to be a joke because the teacher had no control over our behavior and we exploited that.
In the middle of class, my friend Sam handed me a letter with my name on it. I was certain I was in trouble -- again. That was my daily routine: getting a letter from one of my teachers, being sent to the office, getting detention or even suspended.
The letter was written by my mother, informing the teacher that my father had cancer and to please be more lenient with me in class. I raced out of the classroom, crying. All of the kids thought I was trying to disrupt things, as usual, and my teacher came running after me, yelling for me to come back.
He caught me in the hallway and told me to calm down. I told him what the letter said and I asked him if he had read it too. He reluctantly said yes and kindly offered to take me to the office, where my mother was waiting to pick me up.
I was anxious the rest of the day as I waited for my father to show up. Finally, in the evening, he arrived in his black Volkswagen Beetle, surprised to find me waiting for him in front of my mom's apartment building.
For the next hour, we discussed how to go about things, but I didn't feel like much of a participant. The conversation was more at me than with me. My parents were doing their best to relieve my stress, but every word they spoke corresponded with cancer. They asked me if I had any questions but I was too numb to say a word. That single hour was the most serious, real moment I had ever spent in my thirteen-year-old life.
After that, everything changed.
As my father's sickness became a lifestyle, it affected my average day. I would leave school but not find him there to pick me up. I would call to play catch or go for a drive, but he would be too tired. I would go days without seeing him. If I brought up cancer, he would shut down, and if I brought up an interesting topic, he would loosely listen. Our bonding time turned into questions about his possible death, which irritated and scared him. So, we did mindless activities, like watching TV.
One night, at my mom's house, I found out that his cancer had spread to the brain. I immediately ran outside in my shorts even though it was snowy. I had to find my dad and hold him. I ran to his apartment and he was surprised to see me. He acted as if nothing was wrong, and I asked him if the illness had really gotten worse. He told me he was feeling fine, but I knew how sick he was. Days later, his illness became more obvious as he began slurring his words. He had headaches and he was irritable all the time.
Every night before I got in bed I would ask my mom if my dad's condition was "in the status quo." One night, she told me the cancer had spread to his liver. I just cried all night.
Focusing was pretty tough during school. I left class frequently just to think. While my dad was dying, everything I did seemed like it might not last. My father's health seemed short term and my relationship with him was too.
On the day my dad died, my mom came to school and told me it was time. I went to his apartment and watched a man in a bed waiting to die, a man named George who seemed like someone I'd never met before. No one knows if he accepted his death, but my eyes saw a man who was ready.
When it was finally over, I didn't really know how to feel. I was in a state of shock, but mostly I was ready for a new beginning. I was sad, but I was also happy. I was glad my father was out of pain.
I didn't have to deal with the stress of him dying anymore. But, unfortunately, when every single person shared their condolences all it did was make me think about him.
Looking back, I think one of the most depressing days was when we saw our last movie together. I woke up that day knowing it would be the last one. He was getting too skinny and too tired, and he was ready to die. That morning, my mother and I dragged him out of his apartment and took a taxi to the theater.
Constantine was about the devil and death, and made sharing the last movie with my dad very awkward. Most of all, it was sad. Imagine having to say goodbye to your dad for like, forever. The whole time I was just trying to make conversation to get my mind off him dying. But he didn't feel like talking.
He was just dying.
The way I am now is confusing. There are some things that I can't think about or I will cry.
Thinking about the year that he had cancer mostly does it for me. Sometimes, I see father-son relationships on TV or in the movies and I get pretty sad. However, on a typical day I barely think about him. I do have fears that other loved ones will become ill and I will have to deal with the same process all over again. I also fear that my mother will die and I will have no parents.
Sometimes, I blame things in my life on my dad's passing from cancer. But right now, that whole thing was a brief period in my life that I never want to think about.
here's another one in a more positive light, if only because they MAKE it positive. God bless them!
"Who wants to share what they wished for?" Lam asks.
Every arm in the roomful of children flies up. Support Director Gary Lam points to Andrew, a cherubic six-year-old boy with curly brown hair.
"Swimming with the dolphins!" Andrew calls out, beaming.
Several dozen other campers bounce up and down, eager to share similar experiences.
"Meeting Mickey," cries Jordan.
"I got a shopping spree in a toy store!" says Kendall.
After each wish is revealed, moans of envy echo around the room.
"What other good things have happened because you have cancer?"
An older boy across the circle, about eleven years old, raises his hand.
"Being sick has brought my family closer together. We spend way more time now doing fun stuff."
"If I never went to Children's Hospital," a nine-year-old girl, wearing a pink bandana to cover her bald head, says next, "I never woulda met my best friend!" She squeezes the hand of the pig-tailed girl in a matching bandana, seated next to her.
"I have a new appreciation for life," says Jake, a counselor and former camper, now in his early twenties. "I've crammed more experiences into the last five years than most people have in their lifetime."
Jake is not only the guitar-playing comedian all the campers worship. He's also survived the same battle they are currently fighting.
Lam nods appreciatively. "What would you say is the best thing about cancer?"
Every hand flies up into the air again and Matthew, a mischievous ten-year-old with shaggy blond hair, is chosen. He smirks, and announces proudly, "The best part is getting to look Cancer in the face and say Ha Ha. Beat You!'" Everyone laughs.
Seven-year-old Ella, who has been waving her arm frantically for the past few minutes, can't contain herself a moment longer. "The best part about cancer is getting to come to camp!" she squeals, before clamping a hand over her mouth sheepishly.
Ella is referring to Camp Goodtimes - a pediatric oncology camp nestled in the University of British Columbia Research Forest in Maple Ridge, British Columbia. It could easily rival Disneyland for the title of "Happiest Place on Earth."
My first encounter with Camp Goodtimes came four years ago after reading a story in Chicken Soup for the Volunteer's Soul, which inspired me to go see the magic for myself. I've been changed ever since.
The feather-light little girl snuggled on my lap shifts her weight slightly and jars my attention back to the room. Dani has been listening intently to the discussion going on around her without actively participating. It's hard to believe this sweet girl is the same sad, sick-looking child who stormed into my cabin on the first day, furious with the world, and anything but a happy camper.
"The sickest kid in camp," a fellow volunteer had warned me. "So let's not let it stop her from having the time of her life." Dani had barely spoken a word the first few days but was silently soaking it all in, and soon began thriving.
Gary Lam circles the room, handing each child a small square of paper and instructing them to write down or draw a picture of something that brings a smile to their face.
Dani furrows her eyebrows and sucks on the end of her marker; then she flops on her tummy and swaps the marker for a pink crayon, and begins printing letters carefully.
"Do you need help thinking of something?" I whisper nervously.
The poor kid has been through so much in the past year, battling treatments and brain surgeries. What could she possibly have to smile about?
She shakes her head at me impatiently, as I'm obviously interrupting her thoughts.
I glance around the circle at Andrew, Ella, Matthew, and all the other new members of my extended camp family. It's going to be heartbreaking to say goodbye in a matter of days. As magical as these precious weeks of summer are, the frustrating part is leaving this enchanted forest behind and returning to reality, where well-meaning friends just don't realize that the cure rate for childhood cancer is actually quite high and that many of the campers will survive and return as counselors.
"You must have had the most depressing time with all those dying kids."
I reflect on the summer's activities. Kayaking through the early morning mist. Baking cookies in our pajamas. Water fights of epic proportions. Breaking into spontaneous song and dance whenever the desire struck.
"Now it's time to share our smiles with the rest of the world," Gary informs the kids. My campers follow me down a gravel path to the lake, holding hands and clutching strings with dozens of balloons dancing in the breeze and bonking our heads with rubbery thuds.
We kneel on the creaky dock and begin the countdown:
Dozens of balloons with paper messages attached dancing in the breeze and bonking our heads we release the balloons - and our optimistic thoughts - up into the sky and out into the universe, watching as they slowly float up, up and away.
"Blow!" Gary yells.
We huff and puff and watch the colorful spheres as they finally disappear from sight. As I survey the young crowd craning their necks for a final glimpse, I marvel at Gary's ability to take a bunch of sick kids and turn a discussion of childhood cancer into such a positive experience. No one was thinking of the hard times. No one was wondering who would be back next summer and who wouldn't.
Dani glances up at me and grins. Just moments earlier, before she had carefully folded her paper in half, sealing her message inside, she'd quickly flashed the paper open to give me a peek.
In bold pink writing, her message simply said: "I Smile Because I'm Alive."

sounds like your happy and you got a great deal happy shooting.
There's a LOT of info on this forum as you know. Glad you like your shotgun. It sounds like you got it for a heck of a deal too!
Sometimes you earthlings REALLY amaze me!
Sounds like a great deal on a great shotgun! My dad has one and has been shooting it for years with no problems. I'll stick with my Winchester 1300 until it decides to give me any problems but I have doubts that it will.
If the pain is lacking so is the discipline...
"the only 911 call I need is chambering a round" - Mr. Muller, MO car dealer
I've enjoyed mine very much & picked it up at a pawn shop (though much more used). There are a TON of accessories/options for it, if you decide you want to customize it in some way. I saw a plastic stock set with the "speed feed" buttstock for sale used on either this forum or thefiringline, for maybe $45 this week.
Dead Bears, the only good kind.
That's an outstanding deal. Enjoy!
Sounds like an excellent deal and I second the fact that you find a LOT of information here from those who have the knowledge and are sharing it. I'm looking to pick up a 500 and hope I can get a deal like yours.
I love my 500. Glad there's another fan.
It's hard not to like the 500. Sounds like you got a good deal as well. Enjoy and shoot it often.

Good job. Mossbergs are great/affordable/reliable shotguns. In all my years of experience with firearms I became to trust them with my life and self defense. If shtf my shotgun will come first. I own 4 of them.

Day 1:
Board your flight from the United States to Rome, Italy.
Days 2 to 7:
Arrive in Rome.
Six nights in Rome. Breakfast provided.
Day 8:
Bid farewell to Italy as you board your return flight to the United States.
Breakfast provided.
Hotel notes: Check-in times are generally at 2:00 or 3:00 pm. Should you arrive beforehand, the hotel's reception staff would be happy to store your baggage for you so you can set out and begin exploring.
Transportation notes: Rome's Fiumicino Airport is located quite far from the center, so to reach your hotel you might like to add an airport transfer for a few dollars more. Alternatively, public transportation options are taxi, or a combination of train, subway and taxi. As Rome's metro is quite limited, our 2-day, "hop-on, hop-off sightseeing bus" is a great way for you to easily get around the city when sightseeing.
Our suggestions of things to do and see in:
Head to the heart of Rome to enjoy la dolce vita! Eat gelato. Go shopping. Stroll through Villa Borghese Park. Check out Rome's beautiful baroque architecture, famous squares, and sights like the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon. Enjoy a relaxing "Rome by Night" bus tour to see the city's most famous monuments beautifully illuminated. Explore the sights of Ancient Rome and Vatican City – either on your own or with one of our guided sightseeing tours. See the Colosseum, the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, and be sure to visit the Vatican Museums' incredible art collection as well as St. Peter's Basilica. From Vatican City, you're a stone's throw from one of our favorite foodie neighborhoods in Rome: Trastevere. Once you've finished sightseeing in Rome, visit Tivoli's magnificent villas, the island of Capri or the ancient ruins of Pompeii on a guided excursion. If you're an epicure, stay in town and take a grocery lesson and cooking class!
"Our suggestions of things to do and see" are not included in the package price and may be at an additional cost. To make the most of your trip and avoid the disappointment of "sold out" tours, contact our travel experts at (800) 227-3235 up to two weeks prior to departure to add transfers and sightseeing.
All packages are subject to availability at time of booking. Hotels that are on request may not be available and a comparable alternate will be offered.

Forget a single beer for charity. Heck, forget a series of beers for charity. Finnegans spikes the charitable football by solely existing to raise money to help hungry people. It doesn't matter if you purchase their beer in a bar or a restaurant, 100% of the profits go to provide food for local food banks.
To begin with, Finnegans is not your average brewery as they donate all of their proceeds to help feed the community. Another aspect of giving that Finnegans focuses on that craft breweries can attempt to emulate is item collection. Finnegans has a food collection truck named the Reverse Food Truck, which goes out to collect food for the hungry.
Finnegans Blonde Ale will start being distributed in Iowa in early March. Profits from its sales in Iowa will go to the food bank.
Jacquie Berglund, the founder and CEO of Finnegans, will be a keynote speaker during the 2015 EntreFEST in May, organizers said Wednesday.
Iowa's largest food bank is aligning with an unlikely new partner. A Minnesota-based brewery will start selling beer in Iowa next month with officials claiming 100% of the proceeds will go to the feeding the needy.

Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Wild & Frantic Rock 'n' Roll (Audio CD)
Another great value box set. does what it says on the tin (with one or two exceptions)
Wild and frantic Rockabilly, Rock and Roll and R&b (that's real R&B, not the stuff masquerading as music today)
usual standard artists, Wanda Jackson, Johnny Burnette, Eddie Cochran, Ray Sharpe, Ray Smith, Little Richard (standards), Mickey Hawks (a couple more than the usual Bip bop Boom, Ronnie Dawson, Ruth Brown (although a strange cut of "mama he treats your daughter mean" very commercial track which I suggest is not the 1953 cut it states to be) bizarre to include some Elvis's 60's output and Cliff Richard(!!!)but hey I'm being picky.
A nice couple of early Otis Redding and James Brown tracks, loads of Little Richard sound-a-likes.
couple of nice johnny otis tracks too.
very strange but interesting version of Hound dog by Frank Motley, a Jazz trumpeter famous for playing two at once!!!!, it claims he wrote it but I think Leiber and Stoller might have something to say!
if you like it frantic you'll love it
