Enforcing pub legislation could lead to closures say vintners
Published: 18 Oct 2012 13:000 comments
Colin Neill, chief executive of Pubs of Ulster, the representative body of the licensed trade in Northern Ireland, said it could cause irreparable damage to the licensed trade in the county.
Pubs of Ulster, publicans and MLAs are to meet with police in Irvinestown tonight (Thursday) to discuss the situation.
It follows the prosecution of Enniskillen publicans Trevor Robinson, of the Tipplers Brook, and Mark Drumm, of Magee's Spirit Store, for allowing after hours drinking and a subsequent landmark legal ruling.
At the centre of the dispute is what is known as an Article 44 extension. Pubs are allowed to sell alcohol up to 11pm, and stay open until 11.30pm to allow customers to finish their drinks.
However, most pubs in Fermanagh have Article 44 extensions, permitting them to sell alcohol up to 1am, and remain open until 1.30am for customers to finish their drinks, but only on nights they are providing live entertainment or a substantial meal.
In a landmark legal ruling at Fermanagh Court on April 11, 2011, District Judge Liam McNally convicted Drumm and a member of his staff for permitting after hours drinking in Magee's Spirit Store, which, ironically, is just yards from Enniskillen Courthouse.
Drumm had an Article 44 extension but crucially, was not providing live entertainment nor a substantial meal.
The District Judge said that in his experience "the extension to the permitted hours under Article 44 is commonly abused throughout the jurisdiction and applicants frequently apply for an Article 44 extension from Monday to Sunday inclusive, even though they do not intend to regularly utilise same by the provision of live entertainment on each of these nights".
Setting out guidelines to help publicans keep within the law and the police in enforcing the law he said publicans should only apply for an Article 44 extension for the days they intend to habitually provide live entertainment.
"If no live entertainment is provided, intoxicating liquor may only be sold up to 11pm and consumption is permitted only up to 11.30pm," he emphasised.
In a separate case he also convicted Robinson of permitting after hours drinking in similar circumstances.
Robinson appealed his conviction at the County Court and lost. He took it to the Court of Appeal and again lost his case.
In his ruling in the Court of Appeal, Lord Justice Girvan praised the "admirably clear and well reasoned decision" of District Judge McNally in the Drumm case and endorsed his guidelines to police and publicans.
The Court of Appeal gave its decision on September 25, and when publicans subsequently went to renew their Article 44 extensions before District Judge McNally, many were met with objections from the police.
There are around 160 licensed premises in Fermanagh and it is understood that police objected to 58 pubs being granted Article 44 extensions.
One Fermanagh publican who did not want to be identified said: "They're opening a can of worms that they may not get the lid closed on again."
He said business was already suffering as a result of the smoking ban, drinking and driving laws and rates which are 30 per cent higher than other businesses.
However, he said the biggest impact on pubs has been the cultural change whereby people buy cheap booze from supermarkets and drink it at home, where they don't have to worry about a smoking ban nor drinking and driving.
"It's startling the number of pubs that are closing. You only have to look at the number of pubs that don't open until teatime," he said.
Colin Neill added: "The pub trade, especially in rural areas, has been going through a very difficult time in recent years. The on-going downturn in the economy and the subsequent impact this has had on footfall and turnover, has left many publicans struggling to get by. Any measure therefore that forces a pub to close early, losing valuable trading hours, will have a very damaging effect on many local businesses.
"The damage to business will also have a knock on effect on local employment, putting hundreds of local jobs at risk if pubs are forced to close," he warned
"We must also consider the effect early closures will have on Fermanagh's tourist economy, of which pubs play a vital role in the unique local offering. In addition, Enniskillen is one of only four Purple Flag areas (for the quality of its night life) in Northern Ireland and this status could be in jeopardy if this latest clamp down on Article 44 applications impacts the night-time economy," stated Mr. Neill.
Superintendent Alywin Barton stressed: "We are not in the business of closing pubs."
He said police had been in discussions with publicans and their solicitors and reached agreement in many of the cases.
"There's another small number that are the subject of on-going discussions," he stated.
He suggested "significantly less than half" of the 58 cases had still to be settled.
"Very, very few will go to a full hearing in court," he added.
Superintendent Barton said the Court of Appeal decision made it clear that Article 44 extensions should only apply to nights when a pub is habitually providing food or entertainment.
"A significant number had late opening seven days a week, 52 weeks of the year," he explained.
He said a lot of them only provided live entertainment at the weekends, so why do they need the extensions on the other nights of the week?
Superintendent Barton said there was a "significant number of well-run premises, looking after their clientele and the people living around them". However, the police had been looking at the issue for a number or reasons including the level and degree of violence on the streets, complaints from local residents and from other publicans and "emergency staff in hospital being subjected to dogs abuse and violence".
He stressed that the police are "keen to support a safe social economy" and recognise that it is a "hugely important element for the economy of Fermanagh and tourism".

Fans of New Girl are nicely conscious of how steamy and passionate Nick Miller’s relationship with Jessica Day is. But Jake Johnson, who performs Nick on the beloved Fox sequence, desires to spotlight simply how romantic his character’s reference to Schmidt is, as nicely. In truth, the actor argues that he has extra romantic scenes with Schmidt than he does with Jess! Find out what Johnson has to say about Nick and Schmidt’s particular bond.
Nick and Schmidt act like a pair all through the present
Dedicated followers of the quirky Fox sequence know simply how shut Nick Miller is to Schmidt. The characters met freshman yr of faculty and have become inseparable ever since. At occasions, their love for one another seems so sturdy that it begins to really feel as if they’re in a long-term romantic relationship versus a long-term friendship.
This is particularly evident in season 2 episode 5 when Schmidt goes out of his manner to purchase Nick a cookie just because he was “thinking about him.” Schmidt takes his affections for his buddy even additional by claiming that he “thinks about him a lot.”
At the tip of the episode the 2 of them have an change that’s so passionate, it seems like a scene taken immediately out of The Notebook. This is simply one of many many moments on New Girl the place Nick and Schmidt seem to be far more than your common set of platonic buddies.
Johnson says Greenfield is his high romantic lead
In an interview with Good Morning America, Jake Johnson admits that he had extra romantic scenes with Max Greenfield’s character than anybody else all through his total appearing profession.
Johnson claims, “There’s so much of like Max and I sitting on a couch at like 9 p.m. shooting where we’re reading the scene and I go, ‘I tell him he’s like a husband to me?’ Seems pretty intimate to tell another man, considering last weekend we told each other we loved each other when we were combing each other’s hair… I’ve been lucky enough to have a lot of romantic leads in movies and indies and you do form a different kind of connection when you do that together as actors. Max, I feel, is like at the top of my list.”
Their love for one another emulates off-screen
It’s no marvel Nick and Schmidt have such wonderful chemistry on-screen. Greenfield and Johnson’s off-screen relationship appears to be simply as hilarious and co-dependent because it seems to be on New Girl. In an Instagram video posted by Max Greenfield himself, he shared a behind-the-scenes incident the place he was being a bit too needy together with his co-star Jake Johnson and wouldn’t go away his trailer. Here’s what Johnson needed to say in regards to the hilarious second.
“He used to hang around in my trailer in between scenes. One day, I used to be in a temper. You know, I’m a moody particular person and wished to be alone. I used to be mad about one thing, I get mad and stroll down this factor (and Max was in my trailer) and he’s like shut up, and I am going, ‘get out of here.’ Genuinely asking him to move-“
“I go, ‘No, what am I going to do then?’” Greenfield chimes in. “And Jake goes, ‘I’d like so that you can transfer please I’d identical to to be alone.’ And I stated ‘no, then I’m going to be alone.’”
Seems like a traditional Nick and Schmidt fiddle…

MICHELE NORRIS, host:
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Michele Norris.
ROBERT SIEGEL, host:
And I'm Robert Siegel. Farmers have long used dogs to protect sheep, chickens, goats - and now, on an island off the southern coast to Australia, one farmer is using dogs to protect endangered penguins.
NPR's John Nielsen has more on these penguin dogs.
JOHN NIELSEN: Every year, the Fairy Penguins come to Middle Island to mate and lay their eggs. Allan Marsh, a farmer from the nearby town of Warrnambool, says these short, blue, flightless birds have been making the trip since, well, who knows when?
Mr. ALLAN MARSH (Farmer, Warrnambool): Little Fairy Penguins have limped along this coast since penguins were invented, I suppose, by the great Juju.
NIELSEN: Marsh raises free-range chickens on a farm next to a highway. When I reached him just before dawn, he was out doing his chores. He says 20 years ago, the penguins on Middle Island made a deafening noise when they were breeding. Then, some foxes found the land bridge that connects this island to the mainland at low tide. Marsh says the foxes, which like to eat his chickens, appeared to love the taste of Fairy Penguin.
Mr. MARSH: These are real free range, and they got salty flavor, too. You know, it's like salt and vinegar chips to a fox, I reckon.
NIELSEN: The foxes started chowing down on penguins, eggs and chicks, almost wiping out the colony. Efforts to shoot and poison the foxes failed miserably. It wasn't long before just a few dozen breeding pairs were left. But then, a few years ago, Marsh - who is called Swampy by his friends - came up with a last-ditch solution: Take the dogs that guard his chickens - or his chooks -and use them to guard the Fairy Penguins. It first, the experts all said it was a really stupid idea.
Mr. MARSH: So many people said, ah, the dog will eat the penguins, you know. And I was 100 percent confident that that wouldn't happen, because I wouldn't put a dog in amongst my 10,000 free-range chooks if was going to live on free-range chooks.
NIELSEN: Then, last November, a local official who'd run out of options called Swampy Marsh and told him to bring out the dogs. Not long afterwards, Marsh took a male Maremma guard dog named Oddball out to Middle Island. Within a week, Marsh says, the foxes were nowhere to be seen.
Mr. MARSH: The fox would not come within about a mile and a half of where the dog was. The dog would bark at foxes that it saw that mile and a half away. Also, the dog would mark its territory with both feces and urine to announce, hey, I'm here, and this is my place.
NIELSEN: Marsh fed Oddball every day, but after three weeks on the island, the dog got lonely and swam home at high tide. Oddball's sister Molly was sent out to replace him, followed by his brother, Ben. While these dogs were on the job, no fox tracks were discovered. But when they left, the tracks reappeared. In the wake of this success, Marsh says some conservationists are taking another look at the idea of using dogs to protect other vulnerable species.
Mr. MARSH: They haven't embraced it with open arms, but they've certainly had their minds rattled and their eyes opened to the fact that there's another way of doing things.
NIELSEN: But the Fairy Penguins haven't seemed so grateful. Marsh says his dog Molly found that out when she got too close to the sharp-hooked beak of one of the birds she was protecting.
Mr. MARSH: This penguin did a quick u-turn and latched onto her nose, and she said, yeah. Strappy little buggers, aren't they?
NIELSEN: Marsh says his dogs will go back on penguin protection duty in a few months when the birds return to Middle Island to breed.

Building a Solid Foundation for JPA and Hibernate
Looking at the latest trends in enterprise software development, I see a number of emerging patterns. Many organizations are aggressively pursuing a policy of employing lower-cost labor. Simultaneously, enterprise development is becoming ever more complex. These two forces are in direct opposition.
Not only is development complexity increasing, but another element is at work—what might be called convergent software. In a sense, the layers of development technology are merging. For an example of this trend, you need look no further than technologies such as JPA, Hibernate, and EJB3. Each of these technologies represents a confluence of what were previously separate disciplines:
- The Java Persistence API (JPA) uses an annotation-rich environment to conjoin Java and persistence coding.
- Native Hibernate provides much of the same capability as JPA, while also facilitating direct database interaction.
- Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0 (EJB3) provides an incredibly simple but powerful unified model for bean modeling, persistence support, web services, etc.
In my opinion, these trends are welcome because they help to flatten the hierarchy of developers. If Developer X has previously focused on an area such as web services development, for example, it's feasible for Developer X to master persistence development.
Such skill diversification is no longer a choice—as developers, we all must strive to move up the value chain. The good news is that these emerging technologies are finally beginning to provide a platform for autonomous learning. To see how this is true for JPA and Hibernate, let's look at how to build a program with this interesting technology.

Police in South Dakota are forcing catheters onto some uncooperative suspects—“They don’t anesthetize them,” one lawyer says. “There’s a lot of screaming and hollering”—and critics say the practice could be unconstitutional, the Sioux Falls Argus Leader reports. While forced catheterization has been going on in South Dakota—and elsewhere—for years, a new case challenging the practice is drawing attention. Dirk Sparks was suspected of having taken drugs earlier this year. When he refused to provide police with a urine sample, they strapped him to a hospital bed and forced a catheter up his penis. He allegedly tested positive for THC and meth and was charged with felony drug ingestion.
Sparks' lawyer is trying to get the urine sample thrown out, claiming it violates his client's Fourth Amendment rights, which protect against unreasonable search and seizure. “I can’t imagine anything more intrusive than this,” the president of the South Dakota Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers tells the Argus Leader. And an ACLU legal director says forcing a catheter on a suspect of the opposite gender "would border on an unlawful assault, battery, or rape." However, South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley says the practice is legal, and it's ultimately up to the suspect to decide if they want to provide a urine sample the easy way. Read the full story here. (Read more South Dakota stories.)

Now that it's not boiling hot in Houston, we're getting back out to the urban trails! Most recently we went to the Houston Arboretum and Nature Center!
Right now the Arboretum is restoring the land on the northern portion, but there is still plenty of space open to hike and play... including in the nature playground!
After we played we took off on the trails. There is an inner loop and and outer loop... with trails like spokes connecting them. It's kind of like a wagon wheel... except it's not round and wouldn't roll! See the map HERE.
To make the hike a little extra fun, we found some trees to cross a dry creek bed. (If you want a harder trail, where you have to climb over roots and ridges, try the Memorial Park trail next door.)
The Arboretum is free to visit and there is a free parking lot. On busy days, the parking lot will be full and you have to park at Memorial Park and walk over.
It was a great, cool, afternoon! Check out the pictures!

Global Food Insecurity Could Become A ‘Permanent Disaster,’ Annan Says
Global food insecurity that has left almost one billion people hungry could become a “permanent disaster” and endanger millions of lives, former U.N. secretary-general Kofi Annan said, Bloomberg reports (Javier, 6/27).Â Â
Annan, who chairs the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa,Â was speaking at the opening of the 37th session of the FAO Conference, where delegates elected a new director general, according to an FAOÂ press release. “Along with tackling the linked problem of climate change, delivering global food and nutrition security is the challenge of our time,” he said (6/25).Â Â
“If countries cannot come together successfully to deliver food securityÂ â€“ this most basic of human needsÂ â€“ our hopes for a wider international cooperation look doomed,”Â Annan said, Bloomberg reports. “We’ve seen a worrying rise in protectionism, unilateral export bans, land grabs and exclusive deals that meet the food needs of the rich but not the poor” (6/27).
“Like many experts in the sector, Mr. Annan sees Africa as the key to ensuring global food security in the future,” Wall Street Journal’s blog “The Source” reports.Â “Where others have called for a new type of green revolution, Mr. Annan called instead for an African revolution, centered on improving the lives of smallholder farmers. ‘Africa is the continent which has perhaps the greatest opportunities to help find solutions to global food insecurity,’ he said. ‘Even within existing cultivated land, a doubling of cereal yields would turn Africa into a major food surplus region,'” the blog writesÂ (Henshaw, 6/27).

AllThingsD: Google’s SEM Platform is Mediocre, Which is Fine… for Google
In case you missed it before Thanksgiving, Forrester research ranked Google’s DoubleClick Search last in its Wave Report of Search Engine Marketing (SEM) providers. The research firm dubbed Google’s DoubleClick search a “risky bet” for advertisers and agencies, citing shortcomings from “no keyword list expansion tools” to “limited support for campaign testing and error management.” (Standalone solution Kenshoo ranked No. 1.)
Google could be forgiven for fumbling tech that’s further away from its search business — if, say, its Wildfire acquisition goes sour. But if anyone should have figured out SEM, it should be Google. What’s going wrong?
To answer that question, you need to start with Google’s peculiar relationship with SEM — and with marketing software generally.
For advertisers and agencies, SEM software exists to make search buying more efficient. But from Google’s standpoint, SEM tools serve a different purpose entirely. They’re automated pipes that drive advertiser spend into search engines — including into Google search. Additionally, they’re ways to offer upsell off of Google’s existing ad network.
So while standalone SEM platforms such as Kenshoo or Adobe’s Efficient Frontier have to work very hard to make advertisers happy, Google doesn’t really need to work too hard to achieve its own goals in SEM (namely, increased revenue and higher share of spend). Google’s mammoth share of search queries fairly guarantees it a lion’s share of search budgets, with or without good marketing tools. Plus, a bevy of other search marketing providers already provide great automation to help advertisers spend more money in search, including within Google search itself. Google’s chief goals for SEM are already largely achieved by the rest of the market. Doing beyond the bare minimum amounts to duplicating efforts — which means wasting Google resources.
The goal of providing a pipe into Google search even creates a disincentive for Google to help advertisers spend money outside of Google ad networks. It’s no surprise that Forrester notes how DoubleClick Search “supports biddable buys on fewer media outlets than its competitors.” Kenshoo, by comparison, goes so far as to provide integration into Facebook, while IgnitionOne “supports 11 display networks and can programmatically create mobile-device-specific ad versions.” As channel-agnostic and network-agnostic buys become increasingly critical to marketers, failure to provide good cross-outlet support can really hinder advertisers using Google products. But from Google’s perspective, effectively supporting channel-agnostic buys means helping advertisers take ad spend away from Google — which is bad business.
Forrester does “hope that [Google’s] plan to integrate DoubleClick Search into a comprehensive Google online advertising suite will solve this platform’s shortfalls.” I’m less optimistic, because mediocrity runs across a lot of Google’s tech stack beyond search. Michael Greene, a senior analyst at Forrester, has rightly pointed to Google as a prime example of “media and technology behemoths … making credible runs at the end-to-end ad tech stack, even if some of their stacks suffer from a mix of ‘best-in-class’ and ‘just good enough.’” But that’s not a surprise. If Google’s aims for the tech stack are just to provide a system of pipes that support Google Advertising, then building a tech stack out of cheap parts is really all that’s required in most instances. Going above and beyond that is, again, counterintuitive.
Which is why the marketing community really needs to ask if Google is the best business to provide the end-to-end tech stack that marketers want. For Google’s tech stack competitors which don’t have ad inventory to sell (Adobe, for example), the chief reason to create a tech stack is to provide marketers with a suite of useful, integrated products, and to make money in the process. That’s a setup for a win-win (pending good execution, of course). But Google has its own agenda. And if that agenda gets in the way of creating good products so close to Google’s core business, how can we expect Google to provide better than ho-hum technology across the entire marketing spectrum? If Google wants the marketing world’s technology business — and not just its ad dollars — then it’s a question the company needs to answer, soon.


A spokesman for luxury carmaker McLaren told CNBC that it "is not in discussion with Apple in respect of any potential investment."
Earlier on Wednesday, the Financial Times reported that the tech giant had approached McLaren about a potential acquisition. The New York Times, citing two sources familiar with the situation, also reported that the two are discussing a potential investment.
Apple declined to comment to CNBC on the report that it is in talks to buy McLaren.
Apple is also discussing a potential acquisition with electric motorcycle company Lit Motors, according to The New York Times. Both Apple and Lit Motors declined to comment to the newspaper.

Te Wherowhero - Part 15: The Treasury and the King
When Te Wherowhero's son Matutaera, robbed his father's treasury, he was taught the need to obey his parents and observe his duty to the people, in all circumstances. Te Wherowhero invites the aged war chief Te Rauparaha to be his guest, and the two leaders take stock of each other. In his mid-80s, Te Wherowhero is proclaimed King Potatau, the first in the line of the Maori Kings. He was raised up as king on 2nd May 1859 at Ngaruawahia. Fourteen months later, on 25th June 1860, he passed away.

After months of rumors, Nvidia has officially revealed the all-but-confirmed GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card. The GPU will serve as an entry-level ray tracing card.
Nvidia’s RTX 3050 announcement came this morning during its CES 2022 Special Address in which it filled in some previously unfilled specs. The new RTX 3050 GPUs will feature 18 second-generation RT cores, nine shader cores, 73 tensor cores, and 8GB GDDR6 memory.
The RTX 3050 has a shelf date of Jan. 27 and will be available from Nvidia’s usual partner card manufacturers. MSRP is set at $249, but there’s little chance of that price holding true with GPU scarcity driven by multiple factors, including the ongoing chip shortage and crypto miners.
What stings a bit is Nvidia revealing that 75 percent of Nvidia gamers are still on GTX graphics cards before saying that it’s the perfect time to switch to an RTX card. This has been the goal for many gamers since the 20 series dropped, but there’s never really a good time to upgrade. Nvidia may have a trick up its sleeve to guarantee stock but it’s doubtful at this time.

Library of theology is hosting a free PDF of Randolph S. Foster’s Objections to Calvinism:
This book is the creature of circumstance. It had never existed, but for reasons over
which the author himself had no control. He wrote because it seemed necessary to write–
not because he had any ambition for authorship. He made a book, not with “intention of
forethought,” but almost before he was aware of it and without any pretense whatever.
The church of which he is a humble and obscure minister had been long and grievously
assailed by one of the principal organs of a sister denomination, her doctrines and usages
held up to public odium as perverted by the pen of misrepresentation, her influence for
piety questioned, and whatever was peculiar to her organization ridiculed and
calumniated. And this ungenerous course was commenced and pursued by an accredited
champion at a time when peace and Christian union had long existed, against
remonstrances on our part, and published deprecations of the consequences which were
certain to ensue.
We endured for a time. But this only seemed to whet the envenomed appetite of an
adversary who seemed intent to devour us. The greater our reluctance, the greater his
ferocity. It now seemed that to remain longer silent would not only be a reproach to
ourselves–a matter which, alone considered, gave us little concern–but must also weaken
the force, if not peril the interests, of truth itself. It was under such circumstances that the
substance of what is contained in this volume was given to the public through one of the
journals of our church in a series of letters addressed to the reverend gentleman who
seemed so anxious to discuss our respective differences. This is our apology, if any is
necessary, for sending to the public a volume which, it may be, some unacquainted with
the facts might conclude was uncalled for. Truth and religion required it. The time had
come when the real issues needed to be stated, and truth vindicated.

SAVANNAH CITY Council got lucky last week. Each of its members could have been nailed with up to $6,000 in fines if state officials determined that the local group violated Georgia's open meetings law on Sept. 2
But because one council member was late in arriving on that date, a quorum wasn't present. Hence, no technical violation occurred, according to the Georgia Attorney General's Office.
Yet that Sept. 20 finding from the state is of little comfort. Just because city officials attempted to hold an illegal meeting, and failed, is inexcusable considering City Hall's history.
And it hardly "affirmed" the city's actions on that date, as City Manager Rochelle Small-Toney said.
Mayor Edna Jackson and other council members may still believe there was no harm in getting elected officials together privately to look at a police video tape of an assault in Ellis Square that some were calling a hate crime, prior to that tape's release to the public.
They're wrong. Georgia law doesn't allow them to make such a judgement call. Even an apparent lack of intent to hide something is no defense.
State law is clear on this point: If a quorum of elected officials (in this case, at least five of nine City Council members) are meeting to discuss the public's business, then the public must be notified in advance. It's like the boundaries on a football field. You're either inside the lines or you're out of bounds.
The reason for such clarity is simple - it prevents elected officials from arbitrarily meeting in secret. Only in specific, limited instances can they gather privately. Otherwise, the meetings must be open.
Senior Assistant Attorney General Stefan Ritter spelled it out in plain language in his Sept. 20 letter to Ms. Small-Toney. "From this Office's review of the materials provided by Mayor Jackson, it is evident that an attempt was made to hold a meeting in violation of the Open Meetings Act, since a meeting was called without notice or an agenda and without making it open to the general public.
"Were this meeting to have occurred, it would have been a serious violation of the Act, potentially subjecting the City, yourself, and the council members to fines up to $6,000. It would also have been a substantial breach of the public trust, since the public and the press rely on transparency in government to know what their officials are doing."
He stated the attorney general's office was willing to accept the city's claim that, though five council members attended, they were not all in the room at the same time. "Thus, under the circumstances, an illegal meeting was narrowly averted only by happenstance, not by plan," Mr. Ritter wrote.
Given prior actions of the previous mayor and council, this near-miss suggests City Hall still doesn't get it when it comes to transparency and following the law. In 2011, Attorney General Sam Olens found that city officials three times had violated open meetings law while conducting city business.
Ms. Small-Toney said in a statement last Friday that she is "thankful for the attention of the Attorney General, and join City Council in renewing our goal to become the most open and transparent government in Georgia."
No, she and other elected officials should be thankful that one alderwoman was late and they're not writing $6,000 checks. Savannahians would be thankful if their elected officials just followed the law.

It is an important skill in the modern workplace to be able to collaborate effectively with employees of all ages. While the younger generation’s numbers are growing there are a large number of baby boomers that are still in the workplace. Additionally, age discrimination laws will incur liability upon organizations that refuse to hire older workers. Studies vary in their findings concerning differences in workplace values between older and younger generations. The results from this study identify a few key differences between generations. For example, according to Becton, Walker, and Jones-Farmer (2014), “As predicted, the main effect for generation indicated that Boomers reported longer time in one job than GenXers and Millennials” (p. 182). Additional study also concluded that there was no significant difference in attendance and work compliance between the generations. There was also no significant difference in the likelihood of younger generations accepting overtime than older generations.

Things which affect the renting of the car:
- Direction of traffic: In many countries in Asia the traffic is left-handed. In countries like China, Vietnam, the Philippines and Laos the traffic is right-handed.
- Age restrictions: The minimum age for renting a car is usually 18 - 25 years. Drivers under 25 years of age and over 65 years of age are charged an extra fee or get rental terms and conditions, which include to take an additional insurance for damage / collision.
- Driving abroad: Without special contracts a rental car can almost invariably only be driven inside of the country in which it is rented.
- Driver’s license and documents: An international driving license, passport and credit card are mostly required to rent are car. The exception is China, where only a Chinese driving license is valid, so for driving in China it is either a Belgium or a Hong Kong driving license required, which can be translated to Chinese.

Oldies But Goodies (OBG) is an amazing organization which is entirely comprised of non paid volunteers. This group works tirelessly at saving as many dogs as possible; this includes dogs that are not specific to the cocker breed. As a failed foster (I adopted Dexter, pic attached) and current volunteer, I am amazed at the coordination that takes place to rescue dogs. OBG takes in dogs who require extensive and expensive medical care. This group has rescued so many dogs that have required upwards of $5k in medical care.
From transport, to vet intake, to fostering to adoption, OBG volunteers are completely engaged in every step. Having volunteered with other rescue groups, I am so impressed with OBG because the mission of this group, is truly in the heart of all its volunteers.
I have been volunteering with OBG and it has been a wonderful experience. There is constant communication between the OBG board and the membership. As a relatively new foster for the group, I had many questions and it was great to get such speedy and helpful responses. The volunteers in this group, truly have the right perspective- Finding good homes for the dogs. That is the goal and I have not seen our group steer away from that.
I am also an adopter from OBG and must say the process was thorough, but simple. To me, communication is the most important aspect to making sure volunteers as well as potential adopters understand the process. OBG does a great job with this, be it from emailing members, to publishing newsletters, or ensuring the web site it up to date. I am really impressed with this group and am so happy to have found a rescue group to be a part of.
Great rescue! I have been volunteering with OBG since 2010 and am so impressed with the dedication of the volunteers 365 days a year, the lengths they will go to treat a dog's medical issues, and the effort to find each dog the best possible forever home. I have also adopted from OBG six times.
Here to update my review as its nature has evolved.
Previously, I wrote: "I adopted a puppy from OBG in early 2008. The organization proved to facilitate the process in an exemplary fashion. I was in frequent contact with the foster human keeping my pup and his siblings from the time of his birth to the adoption, and have continued to witness OBG's tireless efforts on behalf of dogs in dire need of rescue throughout the eastern half of the country, continually organizing transportation and fosters for countless dogs. I look forward to dealing with OBG for any future adoptions."
A while back, having seen OBG take on a couple of SIGNIFICANT rescue situations in the past year (one alone included 52 dogs), I felt strongly I should see if I could at least foster a dog for them, and I did. They found a dog whose disposition meshed well with my household. It's been fairly rewarding so far.
My wife and I have adopted 3 cockers through OBG over the years. We have so much respect for this truly wonderful organization that we have fostered 6 dogs finding them forever homes to enjoy the life they deserve. All members of OBG are devoted to helping to nurture these dogs and find them deserving homes. This is a totally volunteer organization. We also help out with fund raising to raise the money needed for vet treatments to save these mistreated dogs. I also do home checks for future fosters to make sure they are aware of the responsibility involved in fostering a dog to help prepare them for adoption. Home checks for those interested in adopting are also extremely important to ensure the adoptive family is the right fit for the dogs needs. Kudos to the group who rescued the Freedom 46! We are so proud to be associated with such a dedicated group of individuals working together for a single cause!
I have volunteered with OBG for the past year and a half, and have fostered four dogs through them who have gone on to loving homes. They are a wonderful organization to work with. Everyone I have encountered is responsive, friendly, helpful, and obviously enthusiastic about the mission of the organization. In addition to fostering, we also added to our family by adopting an OBG dog last fall. We couldn't imagine our lives without him! I would highly recommend OBG to anyone looking for a Cocker of their own, or a group to become more actively involved with. They are all around a great group of people who most importantly save the lives of countless Cockers!
We adopted two senior cockers from OBG after finding this group online and checking out the doggie biographies - one was rather quiet at first and the other had lost an eye to glaucoma, and both adjusted quickly and were delights. I was impressed that OBG had welcomed even the one-eyed wonder when other groups would not have, and impressed with the volunteers we met during the adoption process. I decided to volunteer and see what I could help with, and have done lots of different things, and continue to be impressed with the unflagging enthusiasm and dedication and love that underlies all that we all do locally and regionally and even reaching halfway across the country if there is a cocker or mix who needs us, and other rescues and volunteers to work with. We will take the tough cases that cause others to hesitate, as well as the easier ones, and all completely change canine and human lives. I'd give OBG more stars, but I cannot, so imagine a few more stars added to the five here.
I have fostered eight dogs for OBG. I like helping people get a dog to love. Everyone associated with OBG that I have met, either in person or by email, has been wonderful. It is great to see the transformation these dogs go through to make them more adoptable.
I'm a new volunteer with OBG and I cannot say enough for the folks I have talked/emailed with and personally met. They are an amazing group of dedicated volunteers, working together to create life saving opportunities, EVERY WAY they can, all for the love of dogs! Amazing group and I'm proud to be a part of OBG!
Oldies But Goodies (OBG) Cocker Spaniel Rescue is an outstanding organization that saves about 300 dogs per year. They have contacts up and down the East Coast and knowledgable shelters and veterinarians know to call them if they have a cocker or a cocker mix that needs rescue. OBG has also rescued dogs that are not cockers because shelters will often ask it they can take the animal. They even had an honorary dog--a cat! This organization is exceptional in that they provide vet care, necessary surgeries, vaccinations, and dentals. Veterinarians in the Northern VA area work with them and provide necessary care at a reduced rate and many provide boarding until a foster can be established. They also work to heal dogs that have been abused. OBG is a volunteer only organization and has no paid workers. They have hearts of gold and do what it takes to save an animal.
This is a wonderful all-volunteer rescue group. All of the volunteers are passionate about rescue and saving the lives of these precious babies. They work diligently to find homes for the furbabies in the rescue. All monies received go for the care of the dogs they are responsible for. I have fostered and adopted many of their senior and special needs cockers over the years and am honored to work with such a wonderful group of people.

In a generation where clichés ruled the dinner table, my mother’s quote of choice, “Waste not, want not,” repeated with insistent regularity over the span of my childhood remained her fundamental proclamation. A conscientious and determined cook, she held a competition with herself to stretch each dinner into as many subsequent meals as gastronomically possible. Each night she reminded us of whatever third world country struggled with crop-shriveling drought at the time, while prompting us to scrape our plates in order to earn admittance into the “Clean Plate Club.”
In our house, the table was a crowded maple drop-leaf with long wooden benches holding three kids on each side, and spindle backed Windsor’s at the head and foot. Wedged in between my brothers and sisters I dug into big-family-on-small-budget food: creamy homemade corn chowders; thick minestrones made from leftover vegetables, the ground up remains of Sunday dinner presented as roast beef hash, and “Chicken a la King” reincarnated from a previous supper of baked breasts. My father, a hardworking breadwinner for his six children, made enough money, but just; and in my mother’s conventional role as homemaker she pinched pennies between paychecks by resurrecting the remnants from prior meals and fashioning them into presentable feasts designed to fill eight hungry mouths.
As with much of the food my mother served, when she did prepare dessert, it evolved as a second generation produced to avoid wasting food; banana bread from over-ripe bananas, apple sauce from the bruised leavings at the bottom of a bushel basket. The smells and tastes of most of these foods still rocket me back to the aromatic environs of my mother’s kitchen. And although I love them all and replicate them in my own home, one dish represents the zenith of comfort food to me, an offering that conveys clear testimony to my mother’s resourcefulness and thrift. A rich, uncomplicated confection that emerges from humble beginnings, to this day, my ultimate indulgence remains bread pudding.
Nowhere was my mother’s dedication to the practice of saving and reusing welcomed more than her habit of hording old scraps of bread. The heals of bread that her picky children refused to eat, broken pieces unfit for sandwiches, bread that for some reason lasted long enough to get stale, all made their way to a plastic bag in the freezer. And once that bag was stuffed full, Mom turned the contents into a blissfully moist, sweetly soothing cinnamon raisin or chocolate bread pudding.
On the days that we came home from school to find a bread pudding cooling in her chipped stoneware casserole, we invented excuses to remain in the kitchen, dancing around her on tiptoes and sneaking quick crumbs from the edge of the dish. The hours until supper stretched forever and once the meal finally arrived, we emptied our plates promptly regardless of what food sat in front of us--a requirement before dessert was permitted.
At last Mom plopped scoops of moist, spongy pudding into bowls. Pouring whole milk around the edges of the custard, we spooned unnecessary sugar on top wallowing in the sublime balance of taste and texture fashioned from unassuming ingredients of milk, sugar, eggs and bread.
When I grew up and moved to my own apartment, boxed macaroni and cheese became the fast meal of choice and bread pudding went out of my life for a time. I was the last child to leave the house and with only two mouths to feed, Mom no longer accumulated enough bread to warrant a pudding. Involved as I was with my own active life, I hardly realized I missed it.
Years later, newly married and in my own home, with from-scratch cooking skills that had improved substantially, I stumbled upon a recipe for chocolate bread pudding in a magazine. Immediately, and with no explanation to my bemused husband, I grabbed my purse, drove to the store and purchased unsweetened chocolate and eggs. Rushing home, I created my first bread pudding. My husband may not have understood the sense of urgency, but he uttered no complaints when he spooned into the final product.
I’ve been making variations of this nostalgic dish for my own family ever since, blueberry, apple, caramel bread puddings, and white chocolate with raspberry sauce. But the dessert I savor most is my edited version of that recipe I first encountered in the late 1980’s; a fusion of ingredients that plunks me right back onto those hard wooden benches, bequeathing a lingering aftertaste of the essence that flavored my life, back in the day when every meal counted.
Chocolate Bread Pudding
2 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate
1 ½ cups milk (for extra rich, use half and half)
1 cup sugar
4 slices homemade bread
½ cup milk
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons butter
In a double boiler over simmering water, place the chocolate, 1 ½ cups milk (or half and half) and sugar, and stir until the chocolate is melted. Quarter the bread slices and place them on the bottom of a greased baking dish or small casserole in two layers. Beat the eggs until fluffy and add ½ cup milk, salt and vanilla. Add butter to the warm milk and chocolate mixture and let it melt. Then add the milk and egg mixture to the chocolate mixture, stirring constantly, and pour it over the bread in the baking dish. Let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes pushing down the bread to make sure it absorbs the chocolate. Place in 350 preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes.
When I was a child, we served the bread pudding with milk and sugar. These days I find a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream over warmed pudding works just fine.


NAZARETH, Pa., July 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- C. F. Martin & Co. is inviting musicians to take a trip back in time with the introduction today of a groundbreaking guitar technology available in the new four-piece RETRO SERIES: D-18E Retro, D-45E Retro, HD-28E Retro, and OM-28E Retro. Paying homage stylistically and sonically to the iconic classic Martin guitars of the 1930's and 40's, this new series features traditional non-cutaway Martin guitars incorporating significant advancements in plugged-in sound reproduction. The series exquisitely captures a sought-after sound, melding traditional models with state-of-the-art technology, and will appeal to musicians and guitar aficionados alike.
Martin designers dove back into the rich history residing in the Martin museum and chose world-class examples to use as "tone donors." These guitars include a 1942 D-45, a 1941 D-28, a 1937 D-18 and a 1934 000-28(long-scale)on loan from Vintage Instruments. Each of these guitars possesses unique tonal characteristics that can be attributed to the passing of time. The premise was to convince the new guitars into electronically behaving as if they were the museum guitars.
Developing the new Retro Series electronic foundation, Fishman electronically infused the essence of the museum instruments into the newly created Martin counterparts, a new technology for both companies. To build upon this "vintage-conditioned" sound, Martin Guitar teamed up with Fishman and Grammy Award -winning producer Bill VornDick at his historic Mountainside Studios in Nashville for a multi-step process. They utilized VornDick's private collection of rare vintage and boutique microphones, many of which date back to the 30's and are iconic recording industry microphones. This collection adds unique coloring to the plugged-in sound, reminiscent of the first microphones these museum guitars would have ever encountered in the professional recording studio.
The Retro series instruments are vintage in appearance but will have enhanced playability including a modern "High Performance Neck™" taper and modified low oval profile. They will all have the new Fishman F1 Aura + electronics system featuring "Easy Mode" with three pre-blended mic/pickup presets and all of the programmability and tweakability of the original F1 Aura in "Performance Mode. "
Great for studio or live, this series reproduces the pristine sound that until now could only be accomplished in a highly-controlled studio setting with talented engineers.
VornDick said it best after hearing the finished product, "The plugged-in sound of these instruments is by far, the best reproduced acoustic sound I've ever heard."

Wassail is traditionally served warm, but we think it's just as good at room temperature or even chilled with a pretty ice wreath in the center of your punch bowl. It can be made with or without alcohol, and while the recipe includes brandy, we've also tried a bit of cognac and ginger beer with excellent results. Let your holiday punch be just as easy going, sweet and fun as your party.
We recommend wassail for a Christmas caroling theme party, as in here we come-a-wassailing!

About the Author
Aaron Carico is a writer based in Brooklyn. He received a PhD in American studies from Yale University.
For more information about Aaron Carico, visit the Author Page.
"Aaron Carico traces the connection between the plantation economy and the rise of corporate culture, demonstrating the mechanisms by which racism and the economic valuation of black bodies continued to structure economic institutions and logic in the United States after emancipation. Charting the transformation of 'slave racial capital' over a broad sweep of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Black Market shifts debates in multiple fields of U.S. cultural history."--Shirley E. Thompson, The University of Texas at Austin
"A deeply troubling account of the history--cultural, intellectual, political, and economic--by which American society followed along as, in W. E. B. Du Bois's words, 'The slave went free; stood a brief moment in the sun; then moved back again toward slavery.' A bold and brilliant account of American slavery's tenacious afterlife."--Walter Johnson, Harvard University
"This dazzling work defines a new moment in the study of the history of capitalism in the United States and announces the arrival of an important scholar in that vital area of inquiry. Written with both fierce urgency and beautiful precision, it shows that the afterlives of slavery never became a mere part of the past. Tracing their cultural and political economic presence within and far beyond the African American South, Carico shows slavery enclosing land, lives, imaginations, and political possibilities for a century and a half."--David Roediger, University of Kansas
"Black Market makes a compelling case that the formal 'abolition' of slavery in 1865 was nothing of the sort; it was, rather, a transformation of the institution's logic of value. Carico helps us to see that one of the relations capitalism has to slavery is the ghosting of that relation and, through solid archival sleuthing and dazzling close readings, Carico compels that phantom to materialize. Black Market is a work of complex cerebration and a major accomplishment in the field of American studies."--Stephen M. Best, University of California, Berkeley
