Stores won't sell alcohol to parents with kids in tow
Filed under: Teens, Health & Safety: Babies, In The News, Alcohol & Drugs
It happened to Dominic Zenden. He wasn't allowed to purchase a six-pack of Budweiser because his 15-year-old daughter happened to be with him. "I was dumbfounded," he said. "There was absolutely no indication that my daughter would be drinking the alcohol – it was for me. But the woman told me that they don't sell alcohol to people who have children with them."
39-year-old Debbie Bell had to return a case of Fosters and a bottle of cider to the shelf because her 18-year-old stepson couldn't produce proof of age. She said: "You can't do that just because somebody has kids with them.
A spokesman for Tesco says, "I can understand the frustrations of the customer but I think that any reasonable parent would understand the problem and support our policy."
If think that if Tesco finds any success at all in this new policy, it will likely be due to the fact that adults are going to go elsewhere to purchase alcohol. I know I would.

Carolyn said...Well, it seems like there is a good rule somewhere in there that the store has completely lost sight of.
I absolutely agree that if they suspect someone's buying booze for a minor then they should be able to to refuse service. But just because I'm buying a six-pack with my daughter beside me doesn't mean we're going to go shotgun it in the parking lot. That's ridiculous.
Francisco said...Leave your children at home while making your desired purchases. Increase your waist-line and promote staggering in the confines of your castle whiles your children observe and be influenced. If they must be indoctrinated to the pleasures of alcohol, assume your responsibilites as parents, teach them first hand! Drunks begets drunks!
jakki said...If they suspect someone is trying to buy alchohol for a minor, then the answer is to call the cops, not just refuse service.
Amy said...This happened to my husband and I at a Kroger store. I didn't have my purse with me so they assumed I was underage and he was buying for me. We ended up asking a cop who was outside the store and he said the rule is crazy.
Sabrina said...The amazing part is that this is happening in the UK, not in the US, where discussions have been had about not letting people with children purchase cigarettes, wether the kids are with them or not.
CJ said...It happened right here in the USA! My 35 year old son was told he could not purchase beer at a local grocery store in Kenosha, Wisconsin. His 16 year old son (my grandson) was standing next to him in line to check out and the cashier assumed he was buying the beer for a minor.
Dixigalna4x4 said...Actually this is happening in the U.S. Wal-Mart will not sell alchol to you if you have someone with you who is under age. I don;t know if all Wal-Marts are doing this but some of them in VA are.
thrtnstars said...Target stores in the United States DO have this policy, and they DO practice it.
Erika said...Actually this is happening in the US. I live in Chicago and it happened to me yesterday at a Dominicks. I was grocery shopping with my fiancee, but he way buying and driving and I was just tagging along. We are both in our mid-thirties. They pull the six pack of beer last then asks him for his id (pretty normal), then the cashier turns and asks for mine. I told her, I wasn't buying it he was. She said it didn't matter. Let me tell you, I got pretty angry. I called the manager over and the manager finally relented on letting us buy (I was raising a stink about my rights being violated - I am not purchasing, they have no right to ask me for my identification - we're not a police state yet). I, in fact, called them on this, asking what would happen if we were shopping with children. Needless to say, they kinda stuttered on it. Today, I've been looking for others with this issue and its suddenly been popping up all over the US too. The only law there is, is that the purchaser must be 21. We paid for our groceries, then told the grocer that would be the last they saw of us.
Nancy said...As a Teenager trying to get someone to buy beer or wine for me, I always waited outside the store! And believe me, it was NOT a parent.
A said...Hmmm... so many thoughts.
I mean... you could just send your kid off towards the exit or something.
Or maybe just leave the kid in the car for a while I shop.
jerry said...how stupid to suggest leaving your children in the car while you do grocery shopping that includes beer.
you CAN and in some places WILL get arrested and go to jail for having your unattended children in your vehicle.
why cant the store ask for ID from the parent if REALLY necessary?
altho i think that is ridiculous
Judy said...I agree they're going to lose business. We buy wine at our grocery store frequently, and I'm not going to go shopping separately so that I don't have my kids with me. What about single parents? Are they not allowed to have a drink for fear they might share with their kids?
This is ridiculous.
Er said...There are plenty of laws that are just excuses to get people off for the crimes they've done. How about not being allowed to ask someone if they're here legally or anything similar to that - i.e. an officer or other law enforcement can't ask or find out from someone if they're breaking the law!!
Laurang57 said...Is this in the North? In GA. a person can not take a child a Liquor store at all. But, in Hackensack,NJ. parents can take there kids in the store and buy hard liquor and beer. It just amazes me...I agree they should NOT sell any liquor if kids are with them.
Chas said...safe better than sorry. why not? we're starting to get more aware of cleanning up some of the mess we've made.
Lisa said...I think there is something to be said for children learning responsible drinking by seeing the behavior in their children. It's better for my children to see me drink a glass of wine on occassion than to grow up thinking that I don't drink at all.
mmc said...HUH??? You mean because I don't drink at all, my son will think something is wrong? Your comment is ridiculous, to say the least.
Lzy said...I agree! Children need to be taught how to use alcohol responsibly. They also need to know what can happen if used irresponsibly.
It is better for kids to have age appropriate accurate information and honest education on all subjects (alcohol, drugs, sex), not just hide reality from them.
Lisa said...mmc,
You are apparently choosing to be obtuse. Honesty is better than lying. Modeling good behavior is the best way to teach children. I know people whose children never see them drink because they don't want to send "the wrong message", but eventually the children will find out that their parents DO drink (responsibly or not) and think it's something they need to cover up, or just feel outright betrayed. My children (ages 7 and 11) are there when I buy a bottle of wine IF they are shopping with me when I purchase it. They see me drink a glass with or after dinner sometimes. They know that there are people who drink too much and that they are not being responsible.
I was referring to the hypocritical parents, but you already knew that.

- Sun, 15 Apr 2001, 15:30 -- A male CALLIOPE HUMMINGBIRD has been coming to a
feeder at my house for the last few minutes. There is a great flurry of
hummingbird activity today, maybe 10 Rufous and 6 Anna's; the Rufous are so
numerous that the male Anna's can't chase them away. The Calliope sneaks
in among the Rufous. There may be a female too.
This is a seldom-seen species in Mendocino County; I haven't had
one here since 1985. There's no pattern yet, but you're welcome to come and
watch for it. I'm putting out a few lawn chairs and benches. 9430 West
Road, Potter Valley, the driveway is right across from milemarker 1.33.

Recently, I was able to catch up with an expert in physical therapy and dance, Colorado-based Mieke Scripps. She studied dance and kinesiology at the University of Wisconsin while performing in the modern dance troop Li Chiao-Ping Dance. After her dance career, she received her doctorate in physical therapy from Northwestern University and then worked as a physical therapist for the New York City Ballet, the School of American Ballet, the Miami City Ballet, the Juilliard School, the Colorado Ballet Academy and on many Broadway shows. I was able to do an extensive three-part email interview with Dr. Scripps.
Diet Detective: So many of us are spending a good part of our day sitting in front of a computer. I'm sure there are precautions we can take; what are some of those?
Mieke Scripps: The goal while at your desk is to keep your body in alignment and out of pain. We always come back to finding the neutral spinal alignment and positioning ourselves so the skeleton �not our ligaments and muscles �takes our weight. Your positioning in relation to the keyboard and screen are crucial.
Here is a checklist of factors that will keep you comfortable while working those long, grueling hours at the computer.
1. Spine: You should be sitting on or slightly on the front edge of your sit bones. Maintain a small curve in the lower back, the sternum relaxed so it lines up with your pubic bone and your head just floating on your neck (which has a gentle curve in it).
2. Elbows: Upper arms at your sides (don't reach forward), elbows at about a 90-degree angle and, hopefully, supported by armrests.
3. Wrists: Think neutral, flexed neither up nor down but more as an extension of the forearm.
4. Chair seat: Slightly sloped forward to relieve the pressure spot at the front of the chair on the underside of the thighs. Seat height adjusted so your hips are at a 90- to 95-degree angle.
5. Feet: Firmly planted on the floor (or a small foot rest if you need it), and make sure you maintain a right angle at the knees. Don't cross your knees. Knees and feet should be at 90 degree angles. And you should have some weight-bearing through your feet; they should not be floating.
6. Computer screen: center of screen slightly below eye level.
7. Computer keyboard: Should feel most comfortable positioned slightly below elbow level, so that elbows maintain a 90-degree angle and the fingers can drop down to the keys.
Diet Detective: What about the "office chair?"
Mieke Scripps: When you buy a chair you should look for seven separate points:
1. Get a seat with hydraulic controls, which give you ease of adjustment. This will encourage you to adjust it "on the fly" rather than just put up with that annoying ache in your lower back.
2. A seat back that adjusts up/down and forward/backward. This will allow you to fit the seat to your back, rather than your back to the seat.
3. A seat back that is shaped to help maintain the curve in your lower back.
4. A seat pan that is rounded in the front. This will help to take pressure off the underside of the legs, allowing for better circulation. It also should tilt forward/backward.
5. A five-roller base for stability. This gives you confidence that the chair will not tip over when you extend your body and arms trying to snag that last doughnut.
6. A seat that adjusts in height, allowing you to control the amount your knees are flexed.
7. A seat that is an appropriate size for your body. Not too big or too small but just right.
Diet Detective: Any other tips?
Mieke Scripps: 1. Make sure the seat back gently supports the curves of your lower back. Also note that in order for the seat to do its job you must sit all the way back in your chair (repeat throughout the day).
2. The seat pan should angle your thighs slightly downward in relation to your torso (i.e., the angle of your torso to hips should be greater than 90 degrees).
3. The seat height should keep the angle of your knees at 90 degrees.
Diet Detective: Do you have a few tips to prevent slumping?
Mieke Scripps: First of all, follow the above listed steps to keep the spine in a neutral position when at all possible. When you do try to "sit up straight" try not to stick the chest forward, but just let the ribs gently rest over the pelvis with a soft sternum. Always try to sit at a table. A big problem now is with all of our portable electronics. It is nearly impossible to sit up straight while on a big couch or in bed.
When you sit, follow a few simple rules:
• Place your feet flat on the floor.
• Sit evenly on your sit bones (when you sit down, put your hands under your hips and rock side to side, you should be able to feel them).
• Don't collapse your chest. Lift it forward and up.
• Relax your shoulders down.
• Keep your head back over your shoulders.
• Lengthen the back of your neck (in other words, keep your chin down).
• Reach the top of your head to the ceiling.
• If you drew a line from head to seat on the side of your body it should run down the middle of your ear, through the center of your shoulder and end at the bony part of the side of the thigh bone.
• Don't sit for prolonged periods. Get up and move around. We were not meant to be sedentary.
• Last comment: Sitting up straight makes you feel better and gives you a brighter outlook on life.

Dave Harrington – Before This There Was One Heart but a Thousand Thoughts
You probably know Dave Harrington best as the guitarist of Darkside, his collaboration with Nicolas Jaar that yielded the brilliant album Psychic last year. Dave has since put out a couple of tracks through Jaar's Other People label, appearing in issues 38 and 39 of its weekly podcast. Both tracks clock in at around ten minutes each and are made up of presumably Harrington's guitar work maniuplated and stretched into a series of enthralling drones. They've been put together as a sort of 20-minute-long EP (formally his solo debut), with the hefty title Before This There Was One Heart but a Thousand Thoughts. Stream it above via Other People's Soundcloud and lose yourself in the multi-phased ambient and micro-house magic!
Nicolas Jaar – OUR WORLD
Check out this glorious hour-long mix that Nicolas Jaar made in honor of John Lennon for the 33rd anniversary of his death. There are many standout phases Jaar goes through here, opening with an interview with Lennon; going on to string together various clips of drones, film scores, and experimental piano work; and at one point sampling a bit of Black Friday mayhem. But the highlight is definitely his powerful remix of Lennon's "Oh My Love," which closes out the stream. You can listen to and download it in full above via Soundcloud.
This mix was the 16th issue of the weekly podcast hosted by Jaar's Other People imprint. Check in on its site for a new mix every Sunday.
Darkside – "Paper Trails" (Live RA Session)
Yesterday, Nicolas Jaar and David Harrington–a.k.a. Darkside–kicked off Resident Advisor's new "RA Sessions" series with a bang via a glorious performance of Psychic centerpiece "Paper Trails." Watch as the duo stretches the piece to over twice its original length; it's psychedelic microhouse magic!
Psychic is out now via Jaar's Other People label. We're kind of loving it:
Darkside – Psychic
As Darkside, Nicolas Jaar and David Harrington explore the commonalities between subtle electronics and rock grooves. It's actually a pretty fantastic marriage!
Watch Nicolas Jaar's Boiler Room NYC DJ Set
Throughout an excellent debut LP and a handful of stellar EPs, Nicolas Jaar has proven himself worthy in a number of roles throughout the past few years: a producer with fine attention to detail, a justifiably patient songwriter, and a seductive singer. His skills extend to a live context as well, revealing him to be a coherent and focused DJ. This particular talent manifests itself in this set Jaar recently performed in NYC for Boiler Room, which marks the first time he has contributed to the established underground music show.
Over the course of the set's 45 minutes, Jaar pulls together a series of minimal yet hypnotic microhouse grooves which are peppered with interjections from static-infused radio samples. Especially admirable is the way he never loses sight of his aesthetic, maintaining the smooth and seductive vibe which defines his studio material. A subtle approach to the tension-and-release technique also proves rewarding, with Jaar refusing to allow the bass to remain prominent for extended stretches of time, which allows for a stimulating sense of dynamic. The set is consistently understated, but also passionate and vitalizing, hopping from idea to idea with enlivening finesse.
Check a review of Jaar's Space Is Only Noise below:
Nicolas Jaar & Theatre Roosevelt- "The Ego"
A neat little collaborative track from Nicolas Jarr and Theatre Roosevelt, which was uploaded to SoundCloud a few days ago with no real warning. The track features Jaar's usual electronic tinkering against some pitch-shifted vocals toasting in the midst of some strange, glitchy edits.
Nicolas Jaar- "Play the Drums"
Some sampled poetry and a hypnotic beat surrounded with ethereal tones coming through on this newly buzzed Nicolas Jaar track. Dig on it via the embed above, and check my review of Jaar's debut album right here.
Darkside- "A1″
Some interesting visuals from Nicolas Jaar and guitarist Dave Harrington, a.k.a. Darkside, on the track "A1," which comes from the duo's recent collaborative EP.

As parents we are all learning. We are growing, changing and rolling with the punches. Some days are better than others and there are days when all we really want is a "do over". None of us are perfect parents, nor will we ever be, but that doesn't mean that we can't aspire to become the best possible parents that we can be. 2013 was a great year for me as a parent. I started to fall into my role as a mother a bit more and became a bit more comfortable, but there were definitely still things I would like to work on in 2014, so I decided to make a little list of parenting resolutions…more like goals. Things I want to work on in the new year.
Do you have any parenting resolutions for 2014 that you'd care to share?

The end of the world
As we headed south from Torres del Paine the weather got harsher. The temperatures dropped substantially and the rain started.
We rode to Punta Arenas where we were supposed to take the ferry across the Strait of Magellan to Tierra del Fuego. All these places that I've studied in my geography class and seemed so far away to me back then. I can't believe I have actually been there! The ferry normally leaves every day in the morning. That day was leaving at 4 pm, and we got there just in time to catch it.
Along the way we had company: some cute playful dolphins.
Two and a half hours later we got to Porvenir. That's it! It's official: we are on Tierra del Fuego! There's no turning back now, Ushuaia here we come!
Here 140 km of gravel were waiting for us.
We were planning to stop for the night in some little village that was showing on our map. But when we got there, there was just a big tower, nothing else. So we had no other option but to keep going.
We rode until late in the dark, looking forward to San Sebastian, our only option to spend the night. It was getting really cold and my hands were frozen, despite the heated grips. We finally got there and we stopped at the first hotel we saw. Turned out it was the only one in town anyway. Got the room and big disappointment: the rooms were cold, the heat was not on. We convinced the owner to turn the heat on and in the meantime went to the restaurant to warm up with some hot tea and pisco. At that point we were so happy we found a room, that we didn't even care anymore that the price for it was outrageous.
The next day we crossed the border again into Argentina. We were getting so close to Ushuaia! Unfortunately the weather got worse, it started pouring and it was very cold. My leather gloves got soaked and I realized that my old Goretex jacket was not waterproof anymore as all my clothes were moist underneath. At least I had my heated jacket and that helped a bit. Vasile was not as lucky though and he was very eager to get to Ushuaia.
Here we are crossing the Garibaldi pass.
And we made it! We got to our destination.
We wanted to take a picture together, but we were so cold that we didn't have patience to wait for someone there to take the picture for us.
We were starving too, so we started looking for a restaurant. Not easy task here, as it was about 3 pm and here all restaurants are closed in the afternoon, until 7 pm. We found something that looked like a restaurant, we parked the bikes, just to realize it was just a grocery store. Back to the bikes - surprise: the KTM's battery was dead. So Vasile had to engineer something and take some juice from my bike. This entertainment lasted about half hour. It didn't matter anymore that we were freezing and hungry, the bike wouldn't move, like that was the last thing we needed. But Vasile managed to fix that and then we started the hunt for a restaurant. Mission impossible. All we found eventually was a sandwich place, but at this point in time we were happy with that too. Now we were just worried that we wouldn't find a hostel room, as there were lots of tourists in town, but we managed to find that too. The only problem was that even though they advertised as having wi-fi, it was not working, all three days we stayed there (Lupitos hostel, or something like that).
But hey, we are not at the end of the road yet. The road still goes for a bit through the national park.
And here we are, literally at the end of the road, the tip of the world!
It looked like animals were excited for us too.
We made it! We had such mixed feelings about it: excitement and sense of achievement as well as sadness as half of our vacation was gone.We still couldn't believe that we were actually there, at the southernmost point on the continent. I got to feel that the next day, when we took a tour to Isla Martillo (Hammer Island) to see the penguins. We were at 1000 km away from Antarctica, and we felt it. Freezing cold and windy.
Here is for you to see how windy it can get here.
But the penguins were well worth it. They were so incredibly cute. We saw two different kinds: the Magellanic Penguin (most of them there) and Rockhopper Penguin.
We were lucky to see one King Penguin as well, no one knew what he was doing there, as apparently they do not leave on that island (somewhere in the middle of the picture).
There was one little fellow there, a Rockhopper Penguin that looked exactly like the Mexican fellow in the Happy Feet movie "Let me tell something to giu".
After seeing these little cute creatures I realized that my trip in the cold and rain for the past few days was well worth it. And even though we were so excited about being there, we were both now ready to go somewhere warm and chill in a hammock.

Originally published in Interiors & Sources
Boston, MA - The Provincetown Art Association and Museum (PAAM) has been recognized by AltWheels, the largest alternative transportation and energy festival on the east coast, for becoming the first LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified art museum in the United States.
On Boston's City Hall Plaza PAAM Executive Director Christine McCarthy stood next to Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, MBTA General Manager Dan Grabauskas, Massport CEO Thomas Kinton, and 15 others from around the region to accept a "Green Pioneer" award. The award, titled "National LEED Milestone," was given to PAAM and McCarthy on Sept. 28 during a ceremony led by former NPR Host Chris Lydon. The milestone was PAAM's first-in-the-nation LEED certified art museum status.
The LEED certification was accomplished by incorporating energy efficiency into PAAM's reconstruction. The museum was able to expand and, according to McCarthy, save an estimated $12,000 on heating and cooling annually. "Due to the renovations, PAAM has entered a new and exciting phase," said McCarthy. "It has been exciting and gratifying time since the renovations were completed in 2006."
"Receiving this award is a powerful and positive recognition not only of what PAAM has done, but the example we have set for other art museums nationwide. I hope more people will come see the expansion, the beautiful new spaces we've created, and the ways we're working to protect the environment."
An environmentally friendly, green design, the new structure follows principals set forth by the United States Green Building Council's (USGBC) in its Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards, with the intent to reduce PAAM's annual energy costs by $12,000. This effort, which included the redevelopment of PAAM's viewing areas equipped with climate and humidity controls into secure galleries and art storage vaults that fully comply with the American Association of Museums' construction, storage and exhibition standards, was completed in the Spring of 2006. The LEED Rating System was created to create consistent, credible standards for what constitutes sustainable design for the building industry.
Designed by internationally renowned architects Jorge Silvetti and Rodolfo Machado and their firm Machado and Silvetti Associates Inc., PAAM's green structure is a modern facility coupled with a historic structure that is the result of a combined effort by association members, Provincetown citizens, art leaders, and Massachusetts elected officials to ensure that the work of today's Provincetown Art Colony remains a vital force in shaping the thinking and vision of American artists for generations to come. PAAM plans to identify opportunities to expand its collection with the work of former members and Cape Cod artists, an effort made possible by a facility that meets national museum standards.
The PAAM project enlarged the existing 9,233-square-foot building to a total of 19,098 square feet. Additions included a storage vault, galleries, and art education studios. The addition's new first floor gallery is strongly tied to Commercial Street through large glass openings that allow pedestrians to visually engage the artwork before entering the building. The new spaces are clad primarily in weathered wood, glass, and board-formed concrete. These materials were chosen for their durability and direct relationship to traditional Cape Cod textures. While familiar, they are cast in a contemporary light through slight modifications to their arrangements, scale, and pattern.
With a membership of 1,700 and a collection of more than 2,000 important works of American and contemporary art, the Provincetown Art Association and Museum was founded in 1914 and is dedicated to promoting and cultivating the practice and appreciation of all branches of the fine arts, to assemble and maintain in the Town of Provincetown a collection of works of art, to hold exhibitions, and to promote education of the public in the arts through forums, concerts, and similar activities.

Astronomers found that the type of supernovae commonly used to measure distances in the universe fall into distinct populations not recognized before, and this questions how fast the universe has been expanding.
The blogger behind the website The Crab & The Medicine puts 7 Speed Reading™ to the test, and discovers the program's effectiveness in improving his reading speed, eReflect announces.
Unlike most types of stars, which are just as likely as not to have companions and be part of a binary system, an ancient type of variable stars known as RR Lyrae stars seemed to always live out their lives on their own – something that has long puzzles astronomers.
NASA studied the 'crime scene' left behind from an explosion of an Ia supernova and discovered that a single white dwarf star is to blame.
NASA astronomers have for the first time detected an outburst from a star believed to be in the earliest stages of its development – an eruption that they believe reveals a sudden accumulation of gas and dust by an exceptionally young star also known as a protostar.
A mysterious explosion in the sky observed in the 17th century was not a nova, but a much rarer, violent stellar collision.
Astronomers have identified a previously invisible stellar cluster currently forming over 1 million new stars, according to a report in the journal Nature.
Wonderlic®, a leader in employment and hiring assessment, is collaborating with employers to create job-specific competency assessments.
At the center of the image is the open star cluster NGC 6193, containing around thirty bright stars and forming the heart of the Ara OB1 association. The two brightest stars are very hot giant stars. Together, they provide the main source of illumination for the nearby emission nebula, the Rim Nebula, or NGC 6188, which is visible to the right of the cluster.

The prominent feature that allows for the existence of life on Earth is the Sun. Radiation from our closest star provides heat and energy to our planet, driving biological processes and providing the necessary conditions for liquid water to naturally exist. But our Sun is only but one star in this vast Universe. And as it turns out, most stars are quite different than the one that illuminates our day. For this reason, scientists have, for hundreds of years, attempted to study the other...
UV Astronomy -- UV astronomy is the branch of astronomy and astrophysics which deals with objects visible in ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UV radiation ranges approximatively from 10nm (extreme UV) to 380nm (near UV). Ultraviolet line spectrum measurements are used to discern the chemical composition, densities, and temperatures of interstellar medium, and the temperature and composition of hot young stars. UV observations can also provide essential information about the evolution of...
Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram -- In stellar astronomy, the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram (H-R diagram) shows the relation between the absolute magnitude and the spectral types of stars. It was invented around 1910 by Ejnar Hertzsprung and Henry Norris Russell. There are two equivalent forms. One is the observer's form which plots the color of the star on one axis and the absolute magnitude on the other axis. The theoretician's form plots the temperature of the star on one axis and the...
X-ray Burster -- X-ray bursters are a class of binary stars which are luminous in X-rays. They contain a neutron star and a low-mass companion star. The companion fills its Roche lobe and therefore the neutron star is accreting matter from it. The inflowing gas forms an accretion disk around the neutron star. Sometimes X-ray bursters show a sudden increase in their X-ray luminosity, called X-ray burst. All properties of the X-ray bursts can be explained assuming that they result from...
Variable Star -- Most stars are of nearly constant luminosity. Our own Sun is a good example which goes through practically no measurable variation in brightness.

"In Service Of Time", the new video from Los Angeles, California's ABYSMAL DAWN, can be seen below. The track comes off the group's latest album, "Leveling The Plane Of Existence", which was released in February 2011 via Relapse Records.
On the creation of the dark and sinister new video, ABYSMAL DAWN vocalist Charles Elliott comments: "Well, it's finally done! After a little over a year in the making, we're proud to present the music video for 'In Service of Time'. It was directed and edited by Robert Mestas, who won a contest a while back for making a video clip for our song 'My Own Savior'. He did such a great job with that track that we decided to give him a shot at making a full-fledged epic video for us. Being a self-financed production, though, I think at some point we all realized we'd bitten off a bit more than we could chew. Several favors we're called in and many plans would fall apart, causing the video to be delayed for a very long time. We have to say, though, the end result did turn out pretty amazing. It's a very dark dystopian piece, which you'd expect from us, with a nod to the classic silent German film 'Metropolis'. We would like to thank everyone that worked hard on this to make it come out as cool as it did. Enjoy!" Elliott previously stated about the "In Service Of Time" track: "Lyrically, the song is about trying not to repeat your same mistakes, and trying to find purpose in life in the time that you're given. "When I was writing the lyrics, I was very inspired by the infectious mechanized rhythm of the song. I could visualize the gears of clocks ticking away and it got me thinking about my own mortality." The drums for the follow-up 2008's "Programmed To Consume" were recorded at Trench Studios in Corona, California with John Haddad (PHOBIA, INTRONAUT, HIRAX), with the rest of the instrumentation being produced and recorded by Mike Bear (ARTISAN, ex-PROTOTYPE) at Artisan Road Studios in Encino, California. The CD is being mixed and mastered by Erik Rutan (CANNIBAL CORPSE, GOATWHORE, HATE ETERNAL) at Mana Recording Studios in St. Petersburg, Florida.ABYSMAL DAWN: 'In Service Of Time' Video Released

The Jabberwocky is the subject of a poem, and from there we can surmise that it is also native to the Tulgey Wood. There is only one Jabberwocky. (def. from TB; Jabberwocky did appear in TLG poem, and appeared as a sort of dragon)

Its plumage is heavily striped, which may be to confuse prey, and it has a long neck and large red eyes. Conrasting to its long legs and neck, the Jubjub has a relatively short tail. It makes a low, husky shriek. (def. from TB; Bird was mentioned in TLG poem)

"The bottom line is that Ohio taxpayers are not getting the results they expect from many charter schools," said Lehner. "This legislation reflects the input of education leaders from around the state who have worked for nearly a year to recommend policy changes that will move Ohio charter schools in a better direction."
"I am happy to say the new website will include a section to facilitate public comment on state testing," said Lehner. "I hope it will be a venue for educators, parents, and interested citizens to provide constructive feedback on how the state should move forward with testing. We have already heard from hundreds of educators and parents about the problems they encountered. At this point we are hoping to hear some creative solutions."
State Senator and Senate Education Chair Peggy Lehner today announced the creation of a Senate Advisory Committee on Testing. The committee will be made up of various educational experts from across the state and will make recommendations to the Senate on state required assessments.
State Senators Peggy Lehner and Shannon Jones today introduced Senate Bill 9, which will establish a high quality database for tracking home visiting services aimed at reducing infant mortality and negative birth outcomes. The legislation will provide evidence-based services that reduce negative birth outcomes for pregnant women, new mothers, and women who may become pregnant that are Medicaid enrollees.
State Senator since 2011, 2009; State Representative,

There is no doubt that what Vick does, gives defenses a hard time. There is also no doubting that when it comes to actually being a QB.. meaning.. throwing the ball to the open receiver. Carr is 10x better than Vick.
Now.. which is better for their team? I dunno... I cant predict the future. The Falcons are in the playoffs this year because of their defense... their offense did their part, but it was their defense that won games. Did Vick help? most definatly.. but he isnt a one man show.. he didnt single handedly win any games this year.. for the most part, his contributions came from making big runs at important times.
anyway.. this is a pointless debate. Can I compare Carr to Vick? yes I can.. Carr has better stats all around. The only difference between the two teams is the wins and losses
.. and neither of the teams records can be laid at the feet of their QBs. Vick did not push them into the playoffs, and Carr did not keep us out of it. All i know is that its an unfair statement to say Vick is better than Carr.. when he has a dominating top 10 defense taking him to the playoffs.. and an Oline that gives him protection. Put Carr and our WRs on the Falcons team and we would be in the superbowl. Then again who knows.. without Vick's scrambling.. maybe the Oline wouldnt be as good.
Anyway.. I understand your arguements. Vick is exciting to watch.. he makes plays at important times, and his team is in the playoffs. My only point is that you cannot say he is a better QB than Carr, when Carr has better stats and does not have the help that Vick has

On board TA - Sydney to Hobart Passage Record attempt
'The boat is doing 22-25 knots in a strong easterly, our top speed has been 35 knots,' said crewman Josh Alexander this afternoon.
'All the boys are clipped in and taking a bath worse than having a fire hose turned on us. I think they sent four trucks to put us out, but we do not care, we are still on fire.
'This is one hell of a ride if it was at Luna Park the line would be long to get on!
'The sea state is horrible, very rough wind from 080-090 E. There's a few holes in it out here so the range is from 20-35 knots. Dinner will be interesting, that's if we can cook. It's like a roller coaster inside without a seatbelt!'
On their plan for the night Alexander suggests, 'Hold it together. Prudence would suggest throttle back a little, but I don't think that's going to happen!'

Sean's 19 year-old son Peter was on the traveller, Josh looking after reefing sails, navigating and quotable quotes and Shaun 'Kiwi' McKnight was on the grinder with Aaron Hampo. James Ogilvie apparently had plenty on with the new Doyle Sails square top main.
On their start just before 11am this morning, Alexander said they had a few glitches getting off the line, nerves playing a part in their tentative sail choice which then meant they lacked sufficient power to push through a messy 3m swell at the Heads.
Once the seven crew settled down and the adrenaline subsided, they relaxed into a groove.
Top wind speed so far has been 44 knots.
At 7.45pm this evening Team Australia was abeam of Bega tearing south at 25 knots and well on track to smash Wild Oats XI's record of 1 day 18 hours 23 minutes and 12 seconds for the 630 nautical mile course.
