First look at the new Osaka home shala in action.
|Thank you to Abi for the mini clip on wide angle lens for my mobile
|Looks like I could do with Kristina or Niko to take that right shoulder down and in a little here
I was asked if the video below was full speed, yep, all of these are. I tend to breathe relatively slowly and employ kumbhaka (breath retention) following Krishnamacharya's instructions in Yoga Makaranda (1938)
My dear friend, and fellow blogger, Michelle (Ashtangi Angel) is doing a workshop on overcoming fear in practice, after seeing the preview for the flyer I didn't feel I could hold off revisiting backbends any longer (my back's been playing up ever since moving house, all those boxes of books).
|8 November at 13:00–16:00 in UTC
First drop backs in the new shala
Can't decide if I'm amused or horrified to see I've slipped back into lifting heels while dropping back and turning my feet right out to come back up, had got rid of both those habits. Notice I don't say 'bad' habits, lifting the heels is encouraged in Iyengar yoga I believe and Sharath, I seem to remember, turns his feet out as much if not more than I do here, or used to.
I was practicing 2nd at Kristina's in Crete but in pain for pretty much the full 2 months I was there. Practice didn't seem to make the back pain any worse, in fact I'd feel better afterwards until the getting up the following morning at least. I've only practiced Ashtanga a handful of times since I left Rethymno at the end of August. One of those times was a delightful Primary next to Michelle of the "Overcoming fear in Ashtanga" workshop above.
Kapo is coming back, felt comfortable enough but nowhere near as deep as it was (See picture at top of the blog, ankles will come back sooner or later but they felt a long way off this morning). It seemed to be going so well as I was dropping back (first picture) but hands seemed to drift out and I didn't feel inclined to push it and walk in....hmmmm, perhaps I should pop back to the UK a week earlier to catch Michelle's workshop am I fearing or a healthy dose of common sense, can be tricky to tell the difference.
And here's the video, nice camera on the phone, the light wasn't great in the downstairs shala but came out pretty well.
And finally a slow Sury Namaskar's with short kumbhakas to show off a different angle of the shala.
Nice to practice Ashtanga downstairs. Since I arrived in Japan I've been looking more carefully at Sri Sribhashyam book Emergence of Yoga, going through each of the general practices( In the upstairs shala) in the order they're presented ( there are 58 examples of general practice plus the life saving practices featured in the Documentary about Sri Sribhashyam's father Krishnamacharya , Breath of Gods, as well as a number of pranayama practices and insights into Krishnamacharya's own practice). I've been exploring the book over the last year but but it's interesting to go through it practice by practice and see how Sri Sribhashyam introduces Kumbhaka's, a focus on different vital points and longer stays as well as more challenging asana. The structure reminds me of the guidelines to practice presented by Ramaswami. Ramswami encourages us to learn the long sequences presented in his book The Complete book of Vinyasa Yoga to gain insights into the relationship between asana but once we've become familiar with the sequence, the goal is to choose appropriate asana each day along with those key asana we are encouraged to practice each day. Sri Sribhashyam's Emergence to Yoga feels a little like applied Vinyasa Krama, how one might go about teaching and practicing Vinyasa Krama with the added inclusion of the focus on vital points not mention by Ramaswami. There are differences but they seem outweighed by the similarities.
Sri K. Pattabhi Jois was on to something with his 1% theory 109% practice, it's one thing reading these books but they only really seem to make sense when we put them into practice. It was the same with Krishnamacharya's Yoga Makaranda, you need to practice his approach to asana day in day out for a year or so at least and even then your only getting a glimmer of an understanding. We know this from our practice of Ashtanga of course. I remember seeing an add for a shala where it said you should try Ashtanga for ten years before deciding whether it's for you or not, was amused at the time, could imagine going up to the desk and asking for my nine years of shala fee's back with a "nope not for me" . But they have a point, I've been practicing Ashtanga for seven years now and shudder a little when I look back on old posts just as I will another seven years from now looking at the nonsense I write now.

Yesterday Monday April 5, 2010, Harley-Davidson stock (HOG) settled the day up $2.99 to $31.37, its highest level in almost 2 1/2 years. Volume was unusually high (3 times the daily average) and several Wall-Street analysts raised Harley stock target price in the $36 range. Is Harley-Davidson close to a rebound with anticipation that spring and summer selling season is going to be much better than last year? There was a very harsh winter in the US and dealers are expected to have sold between 28,000 and 30,000 bikes for the first three months of this year, most dealers selling new bikes below MSRP, for a total volume down about 30% from the same period in 2009. The company has had to adjust its cost structure so it can be profitable at a much lower sales level. Consequently some dealers seem worried about a shortage of new models and are looking for used models. For the last 52-week period HOG price is up 86.65%.

Great news! Sort of like relationships…you may not always like what you have and the ROI on your investment may seem like oh what the hell, but stick with your love and she almost always comes back.
Instead of tearing HD down here, go out an support them.
Boss Hawg
Apr 6th, 2010 at 3:21 pm
Boss Hawg is right. Everybody in the industry should support Harley. Inconditionally.
Apr 6th, 2010 at 3:35 pm
Most dealers selling new bikes below MSRP. Those are the key words, if most dealers would just loose the attitude and the idea that there isn't anything else out there they would do great.
Apr 6th, 2010 at 4:05 pm
I hope to hell the whole industry is on a rebound. I know our production custom business is improving every day.
Over & Out,
Apr 6th, 2010 at 6:00 pm
Looks like the Non Harley dude that's running the company is doing what has to be done to maintain credibility.
Unfortunate that many have lost jobs in such a narrow time span but under proper management the reduction in workforce downsizing and elimination of non-essential segments of the company is paying off.
Drastic measures should have started back as early as 2006 when the market started to shrink. Trying to make Harley survive with large profit margins through their financial arm was a total melt down.
Much of the blame should be put on the shoulders of the board. who incidentally was recognized as one of the TOP FIVE WORST CORPORATE BOARDS: Freeport McMoRan, Com cast, Lockheed Martin, Coca-Cola, Harley-Davidson
Should I be sympathetic towards the Company???? I don't think so. I have seen their manipulation of the public consumers and their dealers before.
Getting too long in the tooth for the charades.
You can count on this….after you give Harley all the support that they ask for and want it will return to business as usual. Saw it happen before and guess what. Just a little wiser
Apr 6th, 2010 at 6:36 pm
Probably one of the best articles that one can read by "Steve Anderson" is in the May 2010 issue of Cycle World, Page 40 "The Demise of the Buell Motorcycle Company".
If there ever were an article to open your eyes, this would be it. Five pages of informative information.
The article centers on Eric Buell but goes into some depth including an interesting story on the V-Rod,
the internal politics of the company and what transpired over the past and how Jim Ziemer looked at the company as a whole and how decisions were made plus touching on the thinking of present management, Keith Wandell. A different and interesting way of looking at the Company.
Best five bucks you will spend. It will make you think a little differantly.
Apr 6th, 2010 at 7:19 pm
good for them
but can they start to built some bikes again and not any more computers
Apr 7th, 2010 at 3:26 am
Fuji – is that article available online anywhere for non-US readers?
Apr 7th, 2010 at 11:02 am
I will get this information to you. Please check your e-mail.

I'm not too sure about the numbers. As a whole the stock market has been rising but many insiders state it won't be long before another meltdown comes when all the institutional traders remove their profits.
H-D along with many companies have not done the things that need to be done to make their ships sea worthy for the long haul. I live next to Boeing here in the Pacific Northwest. The amount of bloat due to workers (union) who refuse to put in a good 8 hours worth of work has caused this company to suffer. They have also gone through plenty top tier managers one who now works at Ford.
I have numerous freinds who work the lines at Boeing and they all admit to how many workers game the system. Ok off topic. But the point is, many old line companies (GM, Chrysler and even H-D) need to rethink their business models. H-D could reduce prices on all bikes to become even more competitive is a start.
Of course God only knows how much money they make off branded clothing sold to non riders which costs the company nothing, since all these t-shirts are licensed to suppliers who pay for the opportunity to print up and market these shirts to airport stores and the like. (not counting dealer merch)
The Producer
Apr 7th, 2010 at 4:59 pm
I don't think reducing the price of the new bikes is the answer. If it were that simple HD would have done it a long time ago. What I do think they need is a CEO that can negotiate low interest loans that could be used to pay off the 15% money that was borrowed and also used to finance new bike sales. They may also need to dump the V-Rod line and some of the CVO models to become more efficient. HD has already taken some drastic steps in the right direction but there may be more cuts coming if the loses don't turn around next quarter. As for their stock going up that is just a reflection of their cutting so many jobs and shuting down Buell and dumping MV Agusta but don't be fouled into thinking everything is peachy at HD. Remember they reported a lose of 55 million dollars last year. I hope they can turn it all around and become a strong company once more but I won't be buying any HD stock anytime soon.
Apr 7th, 2010 at 9:44 pm
Stock is up cuz folks buying rides for spring…….Don't hold yer breath guys, the economy is still…….CRAP.
I hope we all find or have jobs now. We, the people in the industry and the consumers, are still losing jobs left and right……
Glad HD is looking up but warmer weather is always good for the economy…
Did someone say over and out?
Apr 8th, 2010 at 4:14 pm
Google Harley Davidson Leveraged Buy Out or Hostile Takeover
The stock price has nothing to do with the company's profit or sales right now.
Just my humble opinion.
Apr 12th, 2010 at 9:28 am
yea that Buell article in Cycle World is great-
the rest of the mag is suffering under the new editor
but that article is a keeper

UK mobile network provider O2 just announced that they will not be releasing a charger with the new HTC smartphone. Why you ask? Well, their research has revealed that the UK "has more than 100m chargers lying in drawers, tangled in cupboards and generally gathering dust. The majority of phones are now upgrades and chargers that use USB cables, meaning the bit of plastic that plugs into the wall can actually be used by pretty much every phone." By doing this, the company believes they can divert an amount of plastic waste from landfills equivalent to the weight of 1,000 London buses!
In a statement, Ronan Dunne, CEO of O2 in the UK, said: "The environmental cost of multiple and redundant chargers is enormous and I believe that, as the mobile phone has become more prevalent, we as retailers and manufacturers have an ever-greater responsibility to be a more sustainable industry."
Of course, if customers need a charger O2 will sell them one for "cost price" – however they have stressed this new move is all about reducing the industry's environmental impact. The company added that "the 100m unused chargers we estimate the UK owns have already had a huge environmental cost: the weight of 1,000 London buses worth of components, enough copper and plastic to wrap The O2 200,000 times and, if we threw them all away at the same time, four Olympic swimming pools worth of landfill space."
In case you were wondering what the exact environmental cost of chargers was, it is estimated that 100 million chargers use 18,700 tons of components and 124,274 miles of copper wire and plastic covering. If you have any spare chargers lying around, it would certainly be worth the effort to recycle them!

"Something must be done" about Darfur
Retired Gen. Roméo Dallaire recently was back in the news by by creating a multiparty group in Canada's Senate (of which he is a member) and House of Commons in order to urge the international community more seriously engage to halt the genocide in Darfur.
As many readers will remember, Gen. Dallaire was in charge of the ill-fated United Nations' peacekeeping mission in Rwanda that "failed" to prevent the genocide in that country. Dallaire famously sent a request to UN headquarters that his mission be beefed up to prevent the massacres that his sources told him were planned but instead of respecting his request to double the size of the mission and give it a strong mandate, the Security Council slashed the mission's numbers by 90 percent, essentially emasculating it.
In forming this group, Dallaire said, "The objective is prevent genocides, not to round up pieces afterward."
A prominent activist coalition was formed a while ago in the US called Save Darfur.
As its first priority, Save Darfur wants 'the immediate deployment of the already-authorized UN peacekeeping force.'
Though it tolerates the presence of an impotent African Union mission, Sudanese junta has already said it would regard any UN force as a hostile invader.
What human rights and anti-genocide activists (and I include myself in both categories) have a hard time accepting is this: there is no good external solution to the Darfur crisis.
They issue the call so often heard in crisis situations: "something must be done."
But there's a problem with this slogan.
The word "something" is vague to the point of being meaningless. WHAT must be done?
The phrase "must be done" is in the passive tense. WHO must do the doing? How can a serious call to action use the passive tense?
The African Union will never approve a stronger mandate for the force there because too many member states are afraid of setting a precedent. If an aggressive AU mission can be imposed on Darfur, then it can also be imposed on Zimbabwe or Côte d'Ivoire. It's sad that an organization that was created with so much promise, that was structured precisely to be able to act strongly in catastrophic situations, risks falling into the irrelevancy that crippled its predecessor The Organization for African Unity.
And even if the AU were to approve a serious mandate, who'd carry it out? The AU mission currently in Darfur barely has the troops or equipment to handle the present, weak mandate.
What about the useless Arab League? Deafening silence. They're so busy passing resolutions condemning Israel because an IDF soldier sneezed without covering his mouth that they haven't noticed a genocide and humanitarian catastrophe that make the West Bank and Gaza look like the Garden of Eden. A genocide and humanitarian catastrophe being perpetrated by a member state.
Why the silence? Maybe you should ask the Arab League's Sudanese presidency.
I suppose there could be a UN intervention, but who would supply the troops? The junta has already warned that a UN mission would be treated as a hostile force. Would the normal peacekeeping soldier donor countries be willing to send their troops into a hot, peacemaking conflict?
And if so, would they be equiped and trained for such an incursion? Of the top ten peacekeeping troop contributing countries, only Australia would be considered by most as a developed country. Would Kenya or Jordan or Bangladesh have the resources for their troops to engage in an invasion of Darfur? Would this even be a good use of their scarce resources?
Realistically, any aggressive UN mission in Sudan would have to be carried out by a major military power. China won't do it because they have their eye on Sudan's oil and want to cozy up to the regime. The US and Britain won't do it because they are bogged down in the morasses of Afghanistan and Iraq. France won't do it because they were badly burned in Côte d'Ivoire. So who's left?
And even if the US or Britain did lead such a mission, it would be disastrous. A hostile intervention in Sudan would INEVITABLY be seen as yet another example of the bullying of less powerful countries by an Islamophobic west. "Why don't they invade Christian Zimbabwe?" you'll hear them ask. The Bush administration's militarism in Iraq and support for militarism against Lebanon (and their militaristic language against Iran, North Korea, Somalia and anyone else that crosses them) means that any US-led intervention in Sudan would necessarily be seen as another American imperial adventure. Perception is reality.
This is something that people like Gen. Dallaire and the Save Darfur folks fail to take into account. No matter how personally well-intentioned these folks may be, the motives of a western military force in Darfur would be automatically suspect. The face of such a mission to the Arab world wouldn't be George Clooney and Roméo Dallaire but George W. Bush.
A western-led UN force would inevitably be yet another breeding ground for Islamist insurgents. They wouldn't have to go far. Both Somalia and Saudi Arabia are close to Sudan.
Despite Gen. Dallaire's well-intentioned sentiments, there is a significant difference between Rwanda and Darfur. In Rwanda, there was already a UN force on the ground with the agreement of the regime in Kigali. They were on the ground, staffed, armed, equipped (sort of) and had intelligence gathering operations. A UN force in Darfur would not only have to start from scratch while fighting its way in. Would this save lives or cost even more?
The core principle of any peacekeeping mission is the same as the Hippocratic Oath: First, do no harm. A hostile intervention force would clearly do more harm than good. Adding thousands or tens of thousands of dead peacekeepers to the hundreds of thousands of dead Darfuris may assuage the conscience of liberal westerners who insist that "something must be done." But if that 'something' is even more carnage, then it MUSTN'T be done.

Restaurant Radio Copenhagen: for very good Nordic cuisine!
Copenhagen, a beautiful city full with lovely neighborhoods that all have its own character. One of them is Nyhavn, probably the most known district in Copenhagen. Here you have the very famous little historical coloured houses where each tourist would stop by to take a couple of selfies. Even though the little historical houses are very pretty, it doesn't stop here when it comes to architecture and design in Copenhagen. Copenhagen loves design and you can definitely tell when you're in town. That's because there are so many hotspots there with well-decorated interior!
In Copenhagen you need to shop at Strøget, one of the longest shopping routes in Europe. For Christmas it might be fun to go to Tivoli, a theme park that's located in the city center of Copenhagen. That's when the whole theme park transforms into a Christmas market and there's even a fireworks show in the evening as the grand finale!

an early morning quickie
Some of the letters have become harder and harder to illustrate.
The "K" is kanji, the "Y" is yacht.
I used to have a cat print with yarn on it but couldn't find any left.
There are two empty squares at the bottom and I am thinking of something scouting, as this quilt is for the coming baby son of my right-hand scouting assistant.
Monday night I started cutting the pieces for the letter blocks for take-along work. (Long train rides)
Tuesday I finished making the letter squares. They are solids with gingham corner points.
Then Yesterday I laid the alphabet prints out on the bed and arranged the letter blocks for a bit of balance ... and marked each one with the letter and suggested color. Then I started on the letters.
I was going to make the letters solid colors but I found a few small prints that work.
Maybe I have wasted time looking through scraps of small kid-friendly prints because today I will probably have to switch to solid colors.
Each block is five inches finished so this will not be a single bed-size quilt but I think it will be good for a crib or play mat ... or something to toss over a sleeping baby. I plan to add a few borders before it will go to the hoop.
I left the finished I-Spy quilt at the church office in case the mother goes there, then she can pick it up. If not, I will look for her again this coming Sunday. I didn't want to carry that bag back and forth on a crowded train. Even if I get to sit, I can't sew with lots of bags in my lap. Tuesday, though I got a seat, I ended up giving it away to an old man. I was still able to stand leaning against the connecting door (no one is going to pass through the cars when it is that crowded) and sew three blocks on the homeward trip.
Today's train rides will be good for sewing blocks together. Maybe I should be happy that the internet is still mostly off, as other things are getting done. I really miss getting the chance to browse my favorite blogs. Hopefully, before the end of the month, the internet people will get around to restoring my connectivity.

That is the perfect touch and fun to use prints too.ReplyDelete
You have made a very quick start to this new quilt. The letters are a lovely touch!ReplyDelete
That might be an early morning quickie POST, but you are also so QUICK in the actual piecing work. Didn't you just finish the I-Spy quilt? Now you are already well ahead with this charming one. I take my hat off to you for being able to stitch on the train - while standing up!!! You are a quilt magician!ReplyDelete
Looks like you are getting lots done on this baby quilt.ReplyDelete
You have a great way of using up your fabric scraps. You are certainly quick and speedy with your projects.ReplyDelete
Hi Julie, so happy you have an Internet connection...and can discover your new project.....it is looking so simpatic and you work so quickly !!! I think if I were living close to you, I will do more quilt :)ReplyDelete
Have a wonderful week-end with your family,
Julie, it is amazing to be able to do patchwork piecing standing up on the train! We know you are in great condition and very agile, but we think it would be nice if other passengers would stand up and allow you to sit down. We're always grateful when someone does that for us.ReplyDelete
Thinking positive thoughts that you will soon have full-time internet access. And the alphabet quilt has such cute fabric! Blessings to you, from Marina and Daryl
It is amazing, all you get done, quilting by hand. I hate thinking of you not getting a seat on the train. As polite and wonderful as Japanese society is... there are some "gaps" for sure!ReplyDelete

LONGREITS, If you're willing to read Fabozzi, then add this book to your list. http://www.amazon.com/High-Yield-Bonds-Structure-Strategies/... If you like Thorndike's book, then try some of Jack Schwager's. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_13?url=search-alias...But if you really want to understand bond investing -- and I do mean investing-- you need to come at it as a good stock or futures trader would and focus on the trilogy of Money-Mind-Market. In other words, you need to dig into behavioral finance and gambling theory in an effort to understand why/how we humans all make such very bad decisions for ourselves about money and risk. But an easy shortcut to those topics is Justin Mamis', The Nature of Risk., http://www.amazon.com/Nature-Publishing-Library-Contrary-Opi...The key idea is this. There is a trade-off between 'information-risk' and 'price-risk' that we humans aren't comfortable making, which is why the idiot academics (sorry for the tautology) like Markowitz, Merton, Scholes, Sharpe, Malkiel, Bogle, Bernstein (Wm, not Peter), etc. inevitably screw up the money entrusted to them to manage, as well as give out horribly bad advice. The obvious antidote to that group of truly stupid people is the books and technical papers of Mandelbrot and Taleb and their demonstrations of the limits of statistics when they are applied to non-physical domains. E.g., http://vantagepointtrading.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Th... http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1142785But if you want an even easier shortcut to all of the above, just go shopping at your local market for bell peppers and broccoli. Everything needed to make money in bonds is there if you just pay attention. That's all bond-investing is. It's just shopping. "How much am I paying, and what am I getting in return?" One can get fancy about the process. But that's the basic question. Charlie

When you think of an Army major, what comes to mind? An upstanding citizen? Someone with the utmost respect for rules and regulations? Someone who fights for what's right? Unfortunately none of those match up with the story of foster dad and Army Major John E. Jackson or his wife Carolyn or the charges of child abuse lodged against them in a New Jersey court this week.
U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman called what happened to three kids in the Jackson home "unimaginable cruelty." The Jacksons are accused of everything from breaking the bones of foster kids in their care to force-feeding the children hot sauce.
A 22-page indictment alleges the man who served his country in both Iraq and Afghanistan came home to run a home where kids were beaten with a "deadly weapon" and refused food and water to "train" them to behave.
The two notions are at distinct odds with one another. We honor the members of our armed forces with annual holidays, parents get their kids to send them thank-you letters and boxes of cookies, employers count military service as proof positive that a veteran is a good job candidate. In particular, we tend to think of someone who has been an officer, someone who has risen to a position of power and respect in the military, to be deserving of said respect.
The John Jackson described in the federal indictment is anything but. That John Jackson sounds like a monster, a man who brought three defenseless children into his home and forced them to live in hell.
The Jacksons apparently adopted the three foster kids, one of whom died in 2008. They made these kids their own, and then, if allegations are to be believed, they made these kids' lives a living hell.
That's not the story of a well-respected Army officer. It's the story of a monster parading as a well-respected Army officer, presenting a different face to the world.
How this case will play out in the weeks and months to come will determine whether these kids will get justice. Carolyn and John Jackson could face up to 10 years in prison per charge if convicted of the 17-some charges against them.
Whatever comes, it is sure to put a new face on John Jackson the Army Major.
Would you have expected something so awful to be going on inside the home of a military officer?

In other Alito nomination news, a new ABC News/Washington Post poll finds that 54 percent of the American public thinks Judge Alito should be confirmed to the high bench, up from 49 percent in November. 55 percent of Americans supported now-Chief Justice John Roberts on the eve of his confirmation hearings.
William F. Buckley famously remarked that he'd rather be governed by individuals selected at random in the Boston phone book than by Harvard's faculty. While being a Supreme Court justice obviously requires a very high level of intellectual rigor and professional competence, it is quite interesting that the public's view of this nomination is so different from, say, the Yale Law School's Alito Project. Ironic, perhaps, but not surprising.

Submitted by CdMScott on
A friend of mine at work [who has been making an ALRMING number of good movie and music recommendations lately] rather insisted that I watch this movie, and so, at a moment of filmic indecision [Rhinestone, starring Sylvester Stallone and Dolly Parton, was next on my list], I threw this one up there and it was speedily delivered to me.
This movie was made in 1975 and takes place in 2000, which is obviously delightful. When we see a long matte shot of Manhattan, it's hard to believe anyone thought that all that building and addition of elevated monorails would have taken place in just 25 years—but it's charming. The rest of the movie mostly takes place in the desert, but there are a few "futuristic" buildings [circa 1975] driven by every now and then. This made me think that surely some movie is coming up soon that will take place in a world transformed by global warming.
This was apparently taken from a serious sci-fi novel, but when Roger Corman [that's right] thought about the elements he thought it would work better as a comedy that gradually moves into more serious satiric elements. We are at the Transcontinental Road Race, which is sort of a futuristic Cannonball Run, where the participants gain points by killing pedestrians, with children and old people scoring the most points. The credits are these pencil drawings of cool cars that look like something that cool guy in your 1975 math class would draw on the inside of his denim notebook, then we meet our contestants as they are interviewed by reporters. One reporter is this overexcited gay-seeming dude with Elvis glasses and hair [futuristic!], an irritating nasal voice and long scarf around his neck. There's also Grace Pander, a Rona Barrett-style entertainment reporter who claims to be "a very dear friend" of all the celebrities she covers. There's also a droll guy who speaks like Howard Cosell. Naturally it's occurring to me that a great many people reading this may be too young to know who these people are. Oh dear.
The notable racers are Sylvester Stallone [still couldn't avoid him, I guess] two years before Rocky, as the gangster-styled Machine Gun Joe, who drives a car with two machine guns and a giant knife attached to the hood. And, as the gay reporter says: "Don't forget that swastika sweetheart, Matilda the Hun, with her Nazi navigator!" We also meet John Carradine as Frankenstein, who dresses like a mix of Batman and Darth Vader, and who claims to be stitched together by so many various body parts. There's a funny moment [I mean, among ALL the funny moments] when Grace Pander leans in and asks Frankenstein to "give me an exclusive," and then asks her question in front of all the other reporters. Also on hand is some Catherine Bach-type, apparently played by a former Warhol associate, who talks about the sexual satisfaction she gets from her navigator, some generic hunk smoking a cigar. Most of the other navigators are women, and it is explicitly presented that part of their responsibilities are in caring for the sexual needs of their drivers. Hey, it's Corman.
The President comes out to bless the proceedings—this is a federally-sponsored event—and hails a "glorious day of minority privilege." When I first heard this I thought he was referring to the way some people feel that minorities as we have come to think of them—blacks, gays, etc.,—are the recipient of "privileges" and special treatment, and I think this just comes from forgetting that this movie is 30 years old—and assuming that since it is ostensibly trashy it is politically located toward the right. Well, you know what they say about what happens when you assume.
So the racers go through Lincoln Tunnel and in seemingly five minutes are on this country mountain dirt road that looks remarkably like Northern California. I guess the environment really has changed. Then we divert to a group of rebels who feel that the race is a disgrace to the nation, and are led by a woman I believe is loosely patterned after Emma Goldman. Now, behind this guy who is talking we see this dude with his head cropped out of the frame from the eyes up, but a killer, KILLER stache. And for one brief moment, a glimpse of his hairy chest through his open shirt. Please consult the photo below. It is tragic that, because of circumstances outside of his control, he will more than likely have to forfeit the singular honor of being named the Cinema de Merde Random Movie Hunk of the Year, 2007, simply because we cannot see more of him. Virtually all the other rebels get some decent screen time, but as far as I can tell, but this guy is conspicuously underrepresented, and you had better believe that I had my eyes peeled. But who knows, maybe the rest of the year will suck for hunks and he'll come through. WHAT a sweet stache, though.
So then Frankenstein takes off his mask and we discover that he's really NOT hideously disfigured underneath. I just love the way that rolls off the tongue: Hideously Disfigured. Then Stallone machetes a guy's balls off with his car [tuns out the guy, like everyone else here, bleeds fire engine red paint]. Then we see a bunch of old people lined up in the middle of the road, smiling, and we learn that this is "euthanasia day." Which is effectively disturbing. But Frankenstein avoids the elderly and diverts to hit what appears to be a line of nurses walking in a row, evenly spaced apart. I laughed heartily at a line about "You should have taken the road I told you about, through the boy scout camp!" Then at night all the drivers, who have apparently spread themselves out miles away from each other across the country, come back to one hotel to be rubbed down and interviewed. Is this not SO like The Cannonball Run?
That night Frankenstein goes over and says nothing to Stallone's navigator, but it looks like he said something, and Stallone comes and really punches her hard. Then Frankenstein's navigator, whose name is Sarah or Emma or something I can't remember now, offers her body to him and they get it on. Then the Frankenstein's "biggest fan" corners him in the hall downstairs… and tomorrow they're all back on the road again. We see that the big fan from the night before is outfitted in a white dress, standing in the middle of the road, eager to be killed by her idol. He obliges.
It goes on, but by now the novelty is starting to wear off a little bit. We start getting more resistance from the, well, resistance, which is immediately and hilariously blamed on the French. After not too long we have one of my favorite lines, just for it's simple directness: "Stop the car!" "I can't… we're in a race!" I'm not going to tell you the ending, although the phrase "grenade hand" does figure into it, and in the end Frankenstein becomes "Mister President Frankenstein." The guy at work who recommended this to me would reminisce about it, say "Mister President Frankenstein" to himself, and then just giggle.
It sure is something. It's charming because it is SO absolutely adolescent, so entirely created to appeal to the base instincts of the 14-year-old boy in all of us, with the cool cars and the hot chicks and the violence and the guys getting it in the nuts… and most of all, the whole naughty concept of running over pedestrians for points. But through it all the movie remains more cheeky than offensive, mostly because the violence here is so cartoony. In most cases we don't actually SEE the car hit the person, we just see the car driving fast and then the person flipping up into the air. The blood is so red and fake-looking it's like something out of a small town Halloween haunted house. So it's mischievous and somewhat evil but in the most harmless and fun way.
But there's more than just cool fun in mind, because of the whole political satire aspects of it. Okay, it's really lame political satire [the government sponsors this race to keep the people placated, not too far away from the message of Rollerball], but there's something interesting about the way this movie starts out by generating viewer excitement with the whole idea of running over pedestrians, then widens so we see that this whole race is part of a larger government plan that involves sacrificing the country's citizens… it's vague and silly, but hey, they didn't have to add that element at all.
Other than that, good, evil fun throughout for the 14-year-old boy in you.

KLIV Makes Awaited Classic Country Flip
Empire Broadcasting's 1590 KLIV San Jose CA made its long-awaited flip from News to Classic Country on Saturday, June 11. The newly minted "Country Gold 1590" flanks sister Country 95.3 KRTY with a focus on Country hits of the 1980s and 1990s.
Original Report 4/12: Empire Broadcasting has announced it will flip News 1590 KLIV San Jose CA to Classic Country in the coming weeks.
The new 1980s/1990s Country format will create a flanker for sister Country 95.3 KRTY. KLIV will retain its Sports coverage of MLS' San Jose Earthquakes and San Jose State University as well as some of the commentaries currently featured on the station. The entire news department will exit with the flip.
KLIV President Robert Kieve posted a letter on the station website explaining the rationale for the format change was due to the station not being profitable in its thirty years in the News format with 2015 being the worst in station history.
Within a few weeks, KLIV will be changing its format. The high expenses of running a news station and declining ad revenues have become too great.
Indeed, in the 30 years that KLIV has been a local news station, it has never made a profit; it has lost money every year. 2015 was the worst year in our history.
We'll retain many features that have made KLIV distinctive – Carl Guardino's weekly programs, our traffic reports, the voice of John McLeod, Phil Cosentino's Produce Reports, commentaries about local issues by local community issues, speakers from the San Jose Rotary Club and from the Commonwealth Club. And yes, the "Secret Sound."
In place of local newscasts, we'll play the best country music of the 80's and 90's.
We will miss our small news staff, especially its leader, George Sampson. They've done a wonderful job.
We hope that you can view this change with sympathy – and that you give our new format a fair listen. Although the changes are still weeks away, we wanted you to know about our plans.
Robert S. Kieve
President, Empire Broadcasting

Laos has a plan to transform itself into a battery of the Southeast Asian region so as to go out of the status of a underdeveloped country by 2020, according to the Lao news agency KPL.
The news agency quoted Saypaseuth Phopsoupha, Director of the Energy Promotion an Development Department under the Lao Ministry of Energy and Mines, as saying that the Lao government is expected to sell 7,000 MW of electricity to Thailand by 2015 and 5,000 MW to Vietnam by 2020.
The electricity will come from hydropower plants nationwide, including Nam Thuen 2, he said, adding that t his plan was reviewed at a recent meeting of Ministry of Energy and Mines in Luang Prabang province.
Saypaseuth said that if all the hydropower projects of the government come on stream on schedule, they can bring about revenues of millions of USD.
The Nam Thuen 2 project is expected to generate electricity at the end of the year while the Nam Lik 1-2 and Sekaman 3 projects will be put into operation in 2010 and the Nam Ngum 2 will turn out its first kilowatts of electricity in 2011.

Mumbai SOCIALive ft. The Colour Compound + Blushing Satellite @ Todi Mill Social
242, Mathuradas Mill Compound, Todi Mills, Lower Parel, Mumbai.
09:00 pm - 01:00 am
With an aim to showcase quality live performances and to bring back the feeling of nostalgia that one experiences while watching an open air concert, the monthly live night, #SOCIALive presented by Mixtape and Todi Mill Social features bands who have a wide sound spectrum, perfect to give you those hair raising experiences in the closed conformity of a warehouse setting! About The Colour Compound Born in Mumbai towards the end of 2010, The Colour Compound is an indie pop band. In 2011 they released an EP called "Sincerely Yours" which displayed different sounds they'd experimented with along the way. As time passed, members evolved as did the music, into something more organic that seems to come naturally to them. Rohan Mazumdar and Bradley Tellis play guitars whist splitting lead vocal duties. Adil Kurwa plays bass and Aditya Ashok plays drums, percussion and handles backing vocals. On occasion they like to experiment with other musicians who compliment their sound to collaborate with both live and in studio. There's a jarring simplicity evident in their music with vocal harmonies laid over melodic guitar lines that sit into a cosy rhythm section. Lyrics that speak of life as we know it and music that doesn't make you think any more than you need to. After a long wait and a brief hiatus they release their debut album "From Where We Stand" this summer.

Soldier gets 6 months community service for raping 10 year-old cousin over 3 year, victim gets life
Accountability and transparency within our institutions and leadership.

Serial sexual abuser get 6 mos. community service
By JPOST.COM STAFF
A 22-year-old who plead guilty as part of a plea bargain to repeatedly sexually abusing a minor over a three-year period was sentenced to six months of community service and fined NIS 20,000.
The youth, who had sexually abused his cousin since she was 10 years old, was sentenced in the Tel Aviv District Court on Tuesday, Army Radio reported.
The sentence was unusually lenient for such a case, Army Radio noted, as the punishment for a comparative sexual offence is generally three years in prison.
The light sentence comes only one day after State Prosecutor Eran Shendar charged the powerlessness of law enforcement was leading to a significant rise in crime in Israel. "The public is increasingly feeling that the law enforcement system gets a failing grade in its war against crime," Shendar said.
However Shendar extended the blame to the judicial system as well. "Courts today are not prepared to deal with the large-scale cases brought against crime organizations. Hearings are often set for months after an indictment is file – sometimes the suspects are held for over nine months [before they are tried], and even then the trials can go on for years," he said.
Soldier gets 6 months community service for raping young cousin
By Zvi Harel, Haaretz Correspondent
Tue., May 10, 2005 Iyar 1, 5765
Tel Aviv District Court on Tuesday sentenced an Israel Defense Forces soldier to six months community service for raping his young cousin
repeatedly over a period of two years, beginning when she was 11.
The soldier was also ordered to pay his cousin NIS 20,000 in
compensation. The prosecution had requested that he be given a three-year jail sentence.
In deciding on his sentence, the court had taken into account an
psychological evaluation of the accused, which determined that he had no pedophiliac inclinations, or other sexual perversions.
The evaluation also determined that he had low self-image regarding his male identity.
The psychological examination also found that the soldier had
difficulty sleeping at night, and found the possibility of jail very
distressing. The psychologist said that the trauma of imprisonment would cause him to have a nervous breakdown and could even spark thoughts of suicide.
According to the evaluation, the accused, who comes from a religious background, had been living an observant Jewish lifestyle and serving in an elite combat unit. In the wake of his trial, however, he had been moved to a combat support role with the consent of his superiors.
Following the rapes, the girl began to lose her religious faith, had difficulty sleeping and suffered from recurring nightmares. She also lost all of her hair, and has to wear a wig.
In handing down their ruling, the three women judges wrote that they
intended to send the message that it is not pointless for women to
make a rape complaint, and to show the accused that he is directly responsible for an attack on a child, and for the need to seek her forgiveness.
Kedman: Courts more attentive to accused than to victims The National Council for the Child slammed the court's ruling.
"We are, indeed, obligated to respect the court but more than that we are obligated to respect those helpless children who fall victim to abuse without any defense or salvation," organization director Dr.
Yitzhak Kedman said.
"It is unthinkable that over and over we see that the courts provide no defense to abused children and are more attentive to the distress of the accused than to the victims," Kedman said.
He also warned that the "ridiculous" sentence handed to the IDF soldier gives the message that sexual abuse of children is a minor infraction and that it is enough for the accused to express regret
and agree to therapy in order to evade punishment.

Marianne Aanstad felt uneasy as she boarded the steamship Eastland docked at the Clark Street bridge on the Chicago River. Born in Norway, Mrs. Aanstad was familiar with ships, and something about this one didn't feel right. Still, she boarded with her two daughters and her brother, Olaf, an employee at Western Electric's Hawthorne Works in Cicero. Tragically, Mrs. Aanstad's concerns turned out to be very real. Within a few short minutes, nearly 900 people would be drowned in the river's murky waters.
The Aanstads were just one family among nearly seven thousand passengers boarding five steamships chartered by Western Electric for its annual company picnic The entire Hawthorne Works, normally open six days a week, was closed that Saturday, July 24, 1915, so that employees, their families and friends could enjoy the outing across the lake to Michigan City, Indiana.
The Eastland, a thirteen year old vessel with a history of listing (tipping off balance), began boarding at about 7 AM. Over two thousand men, women and children eagerly climbed the gangplank, strolled about the top deck or went below to view the ballrooms and cafes. As it filled with passengers, the Eastland listed to starboard, toward the dock, but then listed back to the port side, toward the middle of the river. Noticing the tilt, people on the top deck moved away from the port side railing, but the ship remained off balance despite the crew's attempts to fill ballast tanks to right the vessel. The list worsened, and panicky passengers swarmed up stairways and across the top deck. Finally, at about 7:28 AM, the Eastland rolled over on its port side, throwing hundreds into the water and trapping hundreds more on its lower decks. Horrified onlookers rushed to the rescue, but they could do little to save those inside the capsized hull.
The disaster devastated the tight-knit Hawthorne Works community and the towns of Cicero and Berwyn where most of the victims lived. The Aanstad family survived intact, but twenty-two entire families, parents and children, were lost. The final death toll rose to 844, almost three times the number who perished in the Chicago Fire of 1871. In Manufacturing the Future: A History of Western Electric, the authors note that the "Eastland did not claim the famous and wealthy, as did the Titanic. Nor were any of Western Electric's executives killed. Rather, this was a tragedy of the working class . . . More than half (of the victims) were women, most of whom were single and worked in the factory."
To read through the victims obituaries is to begin to grasp the depth of the tragedy. Story after story tells of lost loved ones, of solitary survivors left without any family, of households left without a breadwinner, or of twists of fate that placed unlucky souls on the Eastland that drizzly July morning.
Today, the Eastland tragedy is nearly forgotten. Unlike the sinking of the Titanic, it has not been immortalized on film or in the popular memory. Perhaps its impact was so great that survivors could not tell the story, or perhaps a century of history filled with two world wars and whirlwind changes overshadows a single day's events. But the Eastland's victims deserve to be remembered. Their story sheds light on a time when life was harder, but connections between people were deeper, and we can draw inspiration from their ability to care and carry on.
If you are interested in learning more about the Eastland Disaster, join us at a reading and signing of the new novel about the Eastland, Merely Dee, on Monday, March 19 at 1pm in the Morton College Library.
The author of Merely Dee, Marian Manseau Cheatham, will be reading from her story about the 17 year old Dee, a Hawthorne Works employee and her harrowing tale.

France vs Iceland – Who are you supporting tonight in the UEFA Euro 2016 Quarter Finals? The question is running on every football fan's mind.
Many hearts will be broken especially the French hearts, if Iceland can redo what it did to England.
Small teams have often shined in Europe and with UEFA championships the trophies are always lifted by who performs best on the judgement day. While France has been consistent and favorites too, because of the home turn – team gets a lot of support. But Iceland is playing the beautiful game in a more integrated and result oriented manner.
The way they have cruised to the quarter finals is absolutely a delight. Iceland team squeezed a win from England, a nation where football is almost a religion. The entire football federation was stunned at their victory. Still, arguably this Euro Cup will be memorable for England, because of the Brexit and being ousted by a small team, who has not been around for long.
France vs Iceland Live Now
France vs Iceland match schedule and live scores will actually be telling the story in a few hours. Though statistics and home support highly favors a French victory, but the Icelanders are living the Euro dream and even though their supporters are less, but their hearts and talent can outmatch the French players easily.
Who do you see scoring first? France vs Iceland is going to be memorable indeed. Also, there will be many Scottish supporters supporting the Iceland team and vice versa, England supporters will root for France to knock out and crush the Icelanders. We all know, revenge is a dish best serve cold, don't we.
What are your France v/s Iceland pre kick-of predictions, score and will it go to extra time or penalties?
Tell us in comments. Go for it Iceland and France.

ACRL Numeric and Geospatial Data Services & Digital Curation Interest Group invite you to attend our next webinar: "Data Publishing with Dataverse"
Mercè Crosas, Ph.D., Director of Data Science, The Institute for Quantitative Social Science (IQSS), Harvard University, http://iq.harvard.edu/merce-crosas
Over the last decade, our Data Science team at Harvard's Institute for Quantitative Social Science has been iteratively developing Dataverse, a data repository framework to facilitate and enhance data sharing, preservation, citation, reuse and analysis. The open source Dataverse software has been installed as a research data repository at multiple institutions worldwide. The Dataverse repository hosted at Harvard University is open to all researchers, and currently has over 53,000 data sets containing 734,000 files. During the last two years, based on user feedback and community practices, we have implemented extensible data publishing workflows and effective ways to link publications to data. In this talk, I'll present what we have learned in the process, and how it has helped us define data publishing.

Direct tire pressure monitoring systems use individual sensors inside each tire, and sometimes a full-size spare, to transmit information to a central control module. The sensors read internal pressure, and sometimes temperature. The information received at the module is analyzed, and any issues with any of the tires are sent to the car's vehicle information system, or low-pressure light.
Information is most often sent wirelessly as a radio signal. While some aftermarket systems are mounted outside the tire, most manufacturers use a sensor mounted inside the tire. This is where the expense for the consumer comes in. Each sensor has a battery with a life of about a decade. On most, the battery is not serviceable, and the entire sensor must be changed. The sensor stem is also subject to damage, as is the sensor itself, when the tire hits a curb or the car gets into an accident. And each time a sensor is changed, it generally has to be reprogrammed into the control module so it can be recognized.
The wireless system is also prone to problems and challenges, as well as being integrated with other car systems that can fail or become corrupted over time. Added to this mix is the often-proprietary technology used by each manufacturer, making the range of sensors out there a confusing mix for shops and consumers.
Indirect tire pressure monitoring systems don't rely on sensors to do the work, or at least not pressure sensors. The systems rely on wheel speed sensor data to interpret the size of a tire based on how fast it rotates -- a small tire would rotate faster than a larger tire, and an underinflated tire is smaller than one with proper inflation. All of this data can be gleaned by electronic monitors within in the car, and then interpreted using advanced programming and processing.
This system is less prone to the vagaries of direct sensors, but more attention must be paid to it. For instance, imagine that a driver fills up his tires with air at a gas station and checks the pressure before heading out on a long trip. An indirect system needs to be reset every time the tires are inflated, or it will see the newly inflated tires as a possible hazard. In this case, if it isn't reset, the system will see bigger tires and may warn the driver of over inflation.

I have just finished some blue ATC's for a swap I am hosting on UK & Ireland craft swaps on Facebook.
I wasn't in this swap as we had 12 already but one parcel has not arrived.......... so here are my replacements. I will post the others when they arrive.
I used pale blue card stock, distressed the edges and inked with faded jeans.I inked the cards in an L shape and added a smaller patch of colour on the opposite side and dragged it toward the L. I used 2 stamps from the butterfly garden set from Pinkpaislee. A side foliage and flower piece and the dragonfly.
I stamped on the words CALL IT THE BLUES, using a studio G alphabet set. added a small piece of shiny air force blue lace with a blue staple over some of the wording and finally added a small pale blue button. These were extremely quick and easy to make. I love blue :).

By Dr. Mercola
The largest opportunity to give people the right to know if their food is genetically engineered will occur with the California ballot initiative – officially known as Proposition 37. Your support before the November 6 vote can make all the difference between winning and losing.
The California ballot initiative will require labeling of genetically engineered foods, and end the routine industry practice of labeling and marketing such foods as "natural."
In the interview above, Cummins expands and gives an important update on the status of this extremely important initiative, and the upcoming vote.
Encouraging News from California
"The ballot initiative to label genetically engineered food – or now the official Proposition 37 – is quickly gathering momentum," Cummins explains. "Earlier this year in May, we turned in a million signatures of California registered voters, which enabled us to get on the ballot. We've raised approximately four million dollars so far in cash and hard pledges from organizations and businesses. We are getting very good coverage in the press, both the alternative media (online social media) and the corporate media."
The industry is worried; they're starting to pour in more and more money. They haven't yet started their advertising campaign, but we're expecting this TV and radio ad barrage to begin any day now.
…They're starting to panic. They're doing everything they can at the federal level, but the bottom line is that the lobbyists and the large agribusinesses and biotech's' special interest, they don't really have much control over the voters in California. Come November 06, people are going to go into that voting booth. If six or seven million of them vote 'Yes' on Prop 37, this will become a law not only in California, but across the entire United States."
According to Cummins, Canada is watching this issue closely, and if California passes this law for mandatory labeling of genetically engineered food, it looks like Canada will do so as well.
Even Grocery Chains Depend on Keeping Consumers in the Dark to Make Profits
It's perfectly clear why biotech companies, which created GM technology, and industrial food giants, which use GM ingredients as staples in their products, would be opposed to Proposition 37, but what about grocery chains? Why would a retail chain be so opposed?
Because the overwhelming bulk of their sales come from conventional processed food products, the very same commodities that will soon be forced to carry labels indicating they contain genetically engineered ingredients. And this is likely to greatly influence consumers' spending habits. Cummins continues:
"…a company like Safeway with multibillion dollars in sales, they have an organics division called O Organics that sells about 350 million dollars a year worth of organic food. But the overwhelming bulk of their sales are two categories: so-called conventional food, which means chemical food. It means food where the animals are drugged up and where the plants are sprayed with horrific pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
The other type of food that these supermarkets sell is so-called natural products. You go into a Safeway, Supervalu, Publix's, Giant store, you see that they're trying to create this green veneer essentially over conventional food products – chemical and GMO [genetically modified organism] food products – and present them as natural.
Basically, why do consumers think a product is conventional or natural? Well, because it doesn't say on the label that it contains genetically engineered ingredients. Once it does, people are going to say, 'Look, most of the food here in Safeway – at least in the processed foods section at the center aisles – carries a label saying, "This is genetically engineered or likely contains genetically engineered ingredients."'
They're going to get concerned about this. They're going to notice that, well, this product used to call itself 'natural.' Potato chips or natural corn chips, none of them are claiming to be natural anymore. Why is that?
Maybe they will take a closer look at the O Organics section in Safeway and start to purchase a lot more from there, or maybe they'll just say, 'You know what? There's a Trader Joe's down the block, a Whole Foods, or an independent natural foods store. I think I'm going to go there.'
This is the horror of the food industry… The member groups of the Grocery Manufacturers Association of America – whether you're talking about Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Safeway, ConAgra, or Cargill – the enormous profits of these companies depend upon miseducating the consumer. You're not going to know what pesticides are used. You're not going to know if they're genetically engineered…"
Why Haven't Whole Foods and Trader Joe's Endorsed the California Ballot Initiative?
The California Right to Know Coalition maintains a list of over 600 groups and retail stores that have endorsed the California Initiative. Both Whole Foods and Trader Joe's are conspicuously absent from this list, which may seem strange on the surface. Aren't these two food chains in the business of selling natural, wholesome foods?
If you live in California and shop at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's, or another retailer that's not on the supportive list, you can make a profound difference on an individual level by taking a few minutes to talk to the store's manager. Tell him or her that you're a loyal customer, and you want them to join the other retail stores and coops that support the California Ballot Initiative to label genetically engineered foods.
The "Food Fight of Our Lives" Is Just Beginning
The opponents are likely going to put in $50 million dollars to fight this initiative, which is why the Organic Consumer Association's fundraising drive must continue at full speed between now and the vote on November 6.
Cummins states:
"We need to raise at least as much money as we've raised up until now – 4.3 million dollars – if we're going to win this thing. Because even if we have 10 million dollars to spend on advertising in the last six weeks of the campaign, you can bet the industry is going to spend five times that much. I think they don't have any arguments to make that area very convincing to people.
But if people hear over and over again that it's going to raise the cost of their food (even though that's not true), if they see a television actor on the screen over and over again, 'This is ______. Hey, I'm a California family farmer. This bill is going to hurt me,' it can erode away our support.
We need to redouble our efforts now. That's why we're going to be asking people to go in and get the retail store where they buy organic food to get involved in this campaign. We're going to continue to ask people to volunteer. In about a month, we're going to start organizing a national volunteer phone bank where people from all over the United States will be given a list of California voters (if they volunteer to do so) and give them a call. Talk to them about the campaign. Talk to them about turning out and voting on November 6.
We don't want to be overconfident, but we also need to get over this feeling that you can't fight city hall, the big corporations, the federal government, and so on."
The fight truly is just beginning, because getting this Initiative passed would start the ball rolling toward true transparency in the food industry. As Cummins continues:
"This is just the beginning. I mean, obviously, we've got other untruthful labeling, misleading labeling, fraudulent labeling out there that we're going to have to address.
We can start to demand disclosure of the toxic pesticides that are being used on these products. We can raise the bar and get our rights to know, so that we can exercise our power in the marketplace.
…this is going to be a tremendous victory if we can pull it off. It's going to pave the way for the next stage of the battle, if you will, because this is the food fight of our lives. This relates to natural health. This relates to food and farming. This relates to basic democratic principles. We've approached the point in history where we must make the big changes."
