The DLC, Third Way, New Democrat "Filing Cabinet" and information Thread
The Idea of this post is very simple yet I hope one that will prove effective.
Madfloridian, bobthedrummer, Manny Goldstein (not to be confuse with third way manny) and I among many others have written OPs to inform those less familiar with the neoliberal infiltration of the Democratic Party via the DLC and other brands it has created for itself for various reasons for some time now.
Of them all, I consider my contributions to be the least informative, but I did write a good Primer as a basic guide to understanding your unfriendly neighborhood false flag pseudo-Republican "New Democrat". They are not classic Democrats in that the believe in Reagan economics and only choose to pretend to care about social issues to keep long time allies among traditional constituencies outside of labor.
They have traded in the basic working and poor people that the party once stood for in exchange for white collar professionals and money donating banks, hedge funders and Corporations as can be evidenced most clearly in the laws they pass and the programs they cut while initiating so called free trade that has proven their abandonment of the blue collar worker. Not to mention welfare reform and many attempts to cut, or work with republicans to weaken our safety net in order to provide tax cuts to their new white collar well heeled constituency they prefer to label "middle class" while never speaking of the poor again that have gone completely undiscussed in their circles beyond considering them as source of prison labor or to label as lazy "welfare queens" to enable cuts.
If you have posted an OP, new or old, that is extremely enlightening regarding this "new Democrat" group of miscreants, please post it as a root reply to the main op, to be discussed separately via a subthread of that root response. I will start out with my primer OP, while sending out the the word to Madfloridian and bob the drummer and Manny Goldstein to do the same with some of their own OPS many far more detailed than the beginning primer. I would prefer that if the OP is housed elsewhere, one recreates it here as a post rather than link to other sites, The reason for that should be obvious. If your OP links to other OPs on the subject written by you elsewhere, you may temporarily use the link within it, but only until you can recreate the OP linked to as a root response here to link to. It is here we will gather all our information, and here we will discuss it and learn our greatest enemy well, the one running a false flag, unlike the more honorable yet very similar Republicans that at least are not ashamed to "fly their true colors" rather than slither in the shadows of false blue garments while serving only the corporate elite.
Edited to add, let's leave our pet Miscreant "Third Way Manny" out of this, he is only kept around as a mascot of sorts and will no doubt post his usual right wing condescending drivel as responses here from time to time, I find our mascot amusing and hope he does try his usual dastardly Tricks!Dragon Turtle, MrMickeysMom, VoiceOfReason and 37 othersRozinante, 2bAnon, ravensong, mylye2222, CNW, NVBirdlady, sabrina, polly7, eBayFool, 99thMonkey, bobthedrummer, Two way street, Odd John, Ichingcarpenter, cleverflamingo, Koko, Hari, Cleita, Mod mom, MistaP, historylovr, PADemD, bbgrunt, whispers, TM99, Haikugal, Downwinder, em77, ThouArtThat, Marym625, LiberalElite, exindy, Hobbit709, arikara, Mad to the Marrow, jwirr, djean111 like this

1. New Democrats, The DLC and the Third Way
President Bill Clinton with Al From, president of the Democratic Leadership Council, at a conference in 2000.
New Democrats, in the politics of the United States, are an ideologically centrist faction within the Democratic Party that emerged after the victory of Republican George H. W. Bush in the 1988 presidential election. They are identified with centrist social/cultural/pluralist positions and neoliberal fiscal values. They are represented by organizations such as the Democratic Leadership Council (DLC), the New Democrat Network, and the Senate and House New Democrat Coalitions
After the landslide electoral losses to Ronald Reagan in the 1980s, a group of prominent Democrats began to believe their party was in need of a radical shift in economic policy and ideas of governance. The Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) was founded in 1985 by Al From and a group of like-minded politicians and strategists. They advocated a political "Third Way" as a method to achieve the electoral successes of Reaganism by adopting similar economic policies (Reagan Democrats and Moderate Republicans would provide burgeoning new constituencies after adding these new economic policies and politicians to our tent they contended) While hoping to retain, women, minorities and other social issues allies with long ties to the party. Such would be their new Democratic coalition forged between fiscal right and social left under the "New" Democratic banner. The DLC disbanded in 2011 during an apparent re-branding of the New Democrat movement when money ties to the Koch bros. and Koch representatives placed on*the DLC's board embarrassingly became common knowledge among the Democratic left. The DLC is survived by the Third Way, The New Democrat Coalition, and Al From's Progressive Policy Institute among other corporate funded groups that continue to sell*their Economic-Right/Social-Left brand of "Centrism" to America
The term Third Way refers to various political positions which try to reconcile right-wing and left-wing politics by advocating a varying synthesis of right-wing economic and left-wing social policies.
Third Way was created as a serious re-evaluation of political policies within various center-right progressive movements in response to international doubt regarding the economic viability of the state; economic interventionist policies that had previously been popularized by Keynesianism and contrasted with the corresponding rise of popularity for neo liberalism and the New Right. In a sense, 80s Moderate Republicans are almost identical to "Third Way" Democrats.
I strongly believe it's time for a serious re-evaluation of political policies within various center-left progressive movements in response to international doubt regarding the economic viability of the neoliberal corporate policies previously popularized by Reagan and Thatcher! For thirty years we have all but abandoned liberal solutions to economic problems, chasing instead the snake oil of supply side economics, austerity and neoliberal trade policy. These right wing policies have failed miserably, and rather than learn from the New Democrats failed experiments, the center-right faction of the democratic party has chosen instead to double down on failure with more free trade and austerity measures (to include cuts to Social Security).
In the face of a new gilded age of extreme wealth contrasted by an exponentially growing rate of poverty, a rapidly shrinking middle class and the emergence of an elite class of bankers, politicians and other predatory behemoths that are held firmly above the law and enabled to steal the remaining crumbs of wealth held by the masses without repercussion, it is not only time to return to Democratic principles of old that created the strongest most prosperous middle class in our history, it is time to reverse the damage done by the right thinking "New" Democrats and their failed policies with a new populism based on the needs of the people over the elite.
We do not need a "Fourth Way" to accomplish this, all we need is a return to the fundamentals of Keynesianism, a strong commitment to labor, increased spending on social programs (rather than cuts), progressive taxation, and an end to the cancer of privatization that would reduce the commons and the basic needs of the populace (such as healthcare and drinking water etc.) into the cash cows of profiteers of human suffering
Time to dump the "Third Way" for the unquestionably effective "Democratic way" made successful by the New Deal, The Great Society, and civil liberties. The Democratic party cannot serve two masters, the choice is clear, they must serve the financial elite, or the economically struggling populace
My choice has already been made, But if they choose in the end the financial elite, I believe we will have no choice but to work outside the party for change while voting for any Democrat that stands for the old values that may still remain.
"We must dissent from the indifference. We must dissent from the apathy. We must dissent from the fear, the hatred and the mistrust. We must dissent from a nation that has buried its head in the sand, waiting in vain for the needs of its poor, its elderly, and its sick to disappear and just blow away. We must dissent from a government that has left its young without jobs, education or hope. We must dissent from the poverty of vision and the absence of moral leadership.

16. A great many of my posts here and elsewhere on trade in services deals are
really informative as to what their big picture goals are.
The trade in services deals are how they are rigging the system to make safety nets impossible for countries and start a raceto the bottom on wages, by mandating that public jobs except a very tiny percentage that pass some very narrow criteria – that most currently stable public jobs as well as any new jobs created by public money/public spending, be put up for bid in a system that will likely award them to huge multinational conglomerates, thinks "SchoolsCo" or "HealthCareCo" paying their embattled Third World originating workers pennies on the dollar of what the wages used to be for skilled professionals who did them previously.. And of course putting millions of skilled people out of work.
Imagine what it will be like when every infrastructure project creates jobs for other countries, unless US workers could somehow shed their citizenships and become dependent on the special visas that allow foreign corporations to pay their workers whatever they want –
Because the jobs as it stands now, WILL be put up for international bidding and awarded to the lowest bidder corporations. Its not preordained that those winners will be foreign, just cheap and the wages here make it extremely unlikely or even impossible that domestic firms would win unless no foreign firms decided to compete (which is possible especially at the beginning when they don't have a presence here yet. But they will.)
Note, this is NOT an immigration program and I am NOT anti -immigrant, I am pro immigrants- I just dont think that we should create a new form of slavery!@#@!#!
Thats what they are trying to do and one way to think of it that is not that far from the truth, is that they have set up this extremely sophisticated disinformation scheme in the form of a political campaign and two opposing candidates, to hide this massive ripoff of Americans futures under tons and tons of noise UNTIL ITS TOO LATE TO FIX IT. Because Carve outs to these deals need to be put into them NOW, soon, like within the next few weeks.

17. That perfectly describes the goals and intent of Neoliberalism
Privatize the commons (or privatize the agencies involved in the common good), destroy the safety nets, create a global race to the bottom while effectively reducing the globe to a single unit of multinational corporate Oligarchical governance of neofeudalism. (governments are but regional management teams in their eyes)
The Third way goal is completely neoliberal in nature, and as war is quite profitable most neoliberals can also be classified as neocons as well (at least among the regional management teams AKA the politicians in most countries).
Thank you for your contribution.

14. Excellent Dragonfli, somehow I missed this until now.
I am a little ahead of you, I guess, I am out of the party and hoping to help candidates who are not a part of this corrupt system as much as I can. I am now at a point where if someone is running as a Dem I am already suspicious of them, will they be coopted by the Party Machinary once they get to DC? I hope not because there are few good people running as Dems who I will support, but with caution.

18. There is a good Independent running against DWS in Florida
Debbie "Sane Progressive" on YouTube interviewed her.. She seemed like a smart lady.
DWS is fighting her in a similar (dirty) way to how they fought Tim Canova. She deserves our support. I have her name written down somewhere.
She is a Green. And a mother and she struck me as a very smart woman. Not a right winger."Out of many, one"

4. Jackson Stephens (BCCI fame) funded Bill Clinton out of Arkansas:
The centerpiece of the family's $1 billion empire is Stephens Inc., one of the largest investment banking firms off Wall Street. In addition to its 38 percent interest in Worthen Bank, the family owns stakes in oil and natural gas, utilities, nursing homes, waste management, diamond mining and hog farming.
On Wall Street and elsewhere in the investment community, the perception is that the Stephenses will be among the best-connected businessmen in America when Clinton takes office Wednesday. Just how they might wield that power is a source of intense speculation.
The Stephens family has often been in the thick of political controversy. Jackson Stephens, who was not accused of wrongdoing, played a key role in
helping Bank of Credit & Commerce International penetrate the U.S. banking industry, according to various BCCI investigations.
Lots of info in this article but limited by the 4 paragraph rule. Worth a full read.
The bankers sure got their money's worth: Repeal of Glass Steagall, Free trade agreements, MFN status for China, Telecom Act of '96 to control the future message and of course wars!
I first became aware of this connection because of the WTI toxic waste incinerator in East Liverpool Ohio on the banks of the Ohio River and within feet of an elementary school in a very poor section of the state. While running as Clinton's VP, Al Gore promised to stop this but once in office, of course the project was allowed.

5. Hillary Clinton's Great Nursing Home Rip-Off
Stephens inc. appears to be a recurring accomplis where the Clinton family is concerned, after your post I dug this gem up out of my box of Hillary corruption links from earlier this year.
Here's just one case Clintonian corruption, which I wrote about in The Nation in 1994, where Mrs Clinton and her law firm were central to a vast and methodical scheme of profiteering, gouging taxpayers and, above all, the defenseless residents of nursing homes in four states, including Arkansas.
Nursing home rip-offs and the Rose Law Firm led us not only to Hillary Clinton but to other familiar White House names, most prominently associate White House counsel William Kennedy; also to the money machine set up by Bill Clinton when he was still Governor of Arkansas–the Arkansas Development Finance Authority, whose former chief was later ensconced in the US. Agriculture Department, having informed us often enough in 1992 that he was a man totally independent of the Governor.
Bill sat in the Governor's mansion in Little Rock, ultimate arbiter of the pools of money that could be dispensed by ADFA in the form of long-term loans financed through the sale of tax-exempt bonds. A few blocks away sat his wife, in the law firm setting up deals, that called on that money. The world of Bill and Hill, disclosed by the saga of Beverly Enterprises, one of the largest owners bf nursing homes in America and until January of this year part of the vast investment portfolio of Arkansas's Stephens Inc., offers us important truths about the present incumbents of the White House. When questioned about the Whitewater/Madison Guaranty imbroglio, the First Couple sought to give the impression of a pair of babes, venturing a modest investment and left with nothing to show but red ink.
This is nonsense. Far from being hayseeds in a Southern backwater, Bill and Hillary were players in the politico-financial fast lane. Sometimes the advocates of single-payer health insurance wonder why self-styled populists like Bill and Hillary opted for "managed care," a honeypot for insurance companies and law firms. The story of Beverly Enterprises opens a window to understanding….
Again, the 4 paragraph rule limits the extent to which all parties used the elderly largely to set up a series of profit making "shells" then dumped them after the profit had been extracted, leaving many seniors twisting in the wind with ever rising costs that were the result of the shell games played by Stephens Inc., Beverly Enterprises, and the Clintons.
I suppose we could easily fill out a sub thread just on these early corrupt entities that nursed the then Governor and Rose law firm Lawyer into their more adult DLC graft roles done on a National and some would argue an international scale once they grew into their potential as corrupt President, and Secretary of State – complete with a billion dollar money laundering shell game of a "foundation" to use towards profitable ends at the expense of others.
One need look no further than Haiti to see how they profited off of the misery of unfortunates nearly destroyed by a catastrophe, using their "foundation" to loot contributions meant to help the ravaged people, to build instead lucrative posh business parks and a fancy hotel, so their friends could work in comfort while taking advantage of the SoS insured near slave labor rate about half of the lousy 60 cents an hour the workers had all but won until forced by Hillary and CO in her professional government capacity to work for half that!

19. I am reading this paper about BCCI right now..
THE CASE of THE BANK OF CREDIT AND COMMERCE INTERNATIONAL
Patricia J. Arnold
University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, USA
Prem Sikka
University of Essex, UK
"The paper is organized into three sections. The first section develops the theoretical foundation by considering the extent
to which "globalization" has weakened the ability of nation states to regulate economic activity and govern transnational
corporations. The second section illustrates our skepticism concerning `the end of the nation state' thesis through
evidence drawn from the BCCI case study. 4 While the BCCI case reveals serious weaknesses in the existing structures
for governing transnational banking, it also shows that regulatory and auditing failures at BCCI have political and
economic underpinnings that can not be explained by "globalization" per se, or its impact on the powers of the state. The
concluding section summarizes our findings about globalization and the capacity of states and accountancy firms to
regulate transnational financial institutions. We argue that though the closure of BCCI stands as an example of the
technical capacity of Western economic powers to employ the aid of accountancy firms to discipline a third world bank,
the political capacity of the stateaccountancy nexus to protect broader social interests in international bank regulation
remains circumscribed by governance processes that are shrouded in secrecy and beyond the reach of democratic
politics. The BCCI case suggests that while the stateaccounting alliance plays a important role in the governance of
global banking, it promotes and fosters a global regulatory structure that further the interests of capital, rather than the
welfare of depositors and citizens.""Out of many, one"

27. I knew nothing about this:
Stephens family being behind the ascent of Bill Clinton to Arkansas politics.
Was the Stephens family connected to the Bush family as well? I always felt the Bushes Sr wanted Bill to have his gubernatorial debut.
The Bushes even told Hillary that they wouldn't have been upset with Bill for running for President except he shouldn't have encrouched on George the Elder's ability to have a second term."Let us not seek the Republican answer nor the Democratic answer but the right answer."

8. Since the late 80s the party has openly shoved its left aside. And yet…
they fully expect us to forget all about that and in the famous words of Bill Clinton…"fall in line".
He said it was okay for us to "fall in love" with our candidates, but then we were to do what was expected of us at the end.
There's been open declaration over and over of how they did not need the left anymore. They said they were getting enough corporate money, and they did not have to stand for things that might cause them to lose. They had enough money that they did not have to worry about the needs of the people who had been the usual constituents of the party. They had theirs. They didn't need us.
But now they do. Funny how that happens during every primary, every election. They push us aside until they need us, then they put us on a huge freaking guilt trip.
If the party loses they drag out the trite stuff about how they got too partisan, about how the left failed to vote. Any excuse except what really happened.
They sounded so much like the other party that the people voted for the real thing.
They actually said out loud that they had taken over the party, and they did not need us. Not just once either.
They said it over and over in many different ways.
From an earlier post at another forum:
"Simon Rosenberg, the former field director for the DLC who directs the New Democrat Network, a spin-off political action committee, says, "We're trying to raise money to help them lessen their reliance on traditional interest groups in the Democratic Party. In that way," he adds, "they are ideologically freed, frankly, from taking positions that make it difficult for Democrats to win."
Rob Shapiro, the DLC VP at the time, and a Clinton advisor, spoke clearly about their purpose.
What we've done in the Democratic Party," explains institute Vice President Rob Shapiro, a Clinton economic adviser, "is an intellectual leveraged buyout." The DLC, presumably, is acting as arbitrageur, selling off unprofitable mind-sets to produce a lean and efficient philosophy for the "New Democrat," as DLCers call their slick bimonthly magazine.
Al From in recruiting Bill Clinton said this. (From his book The New Democrats and the Return to Power.)
I believe you are the right person for the DLC job—and the DLC job is the right job for you. We have the opportunity to redefine the Democratic Party during the next two years. If our efforts lead to a presidential candidacy—whether for you or someone else—we can take over the party, as well.
Also from From's book
Nearly a year after our Little Rock meeting, at the DLC's Annual Conference in New Orleans on March 24, 1990, Bill Clinton became the DLC's fourth chairman. Calling Clinton a "rising star in three decades," Sam Nunn passed him the gavel. Nunn quipped that when the DLC was created "we were viewed as a rump group. Now we're viewed as the brains of the party. In just five years, we've moved from one end of the donkey to the other."
The Wise Geek says that a leveraged buyout is also known as a hostile takeover.
A leveraged buyout is a tactic through which control of a corporation is acquired by buying up a majority of their stock using borrowed money. It may also be referred to as a hostile takeover, a highly-leveraged transaction, or a bootstrap transaction. Once control is acquired, the company is often made private, so that the new owners have more leeway to do what they want with it. This may involve splitting up the corporation and selling the pieces of it for a high profit, or liquidating its assets and dissolving the corporation itself.
It truly was a hostile takeover. They don't plan on giving any of it back to those who traditionally were considered a part of it. They are not going to give up their control over policy. They are going to keep treating the more liberal part of the party as conveniences when elections roll around.
I'm glad Bernie Sanders ran this primary. It was an ugly and divisive primary. There's a reason for that. The Hillary side of the party was stunned at how well he did. It caught them off guard, and instead of standing for issues that benefited the people of the party…..they treated us like the enemy.
That's the way the Republican wing of the Democratic party has always treated us. That's the way they think of us.
I guess you could add the new #basementdwellers meme to the mess now. It just shows how the DLC controlled party has viewed us. They have no concept of who we are…they simply are in denial that we are of all ages and colors and walks of life.
As I've said before, the DLC used Bill Clinton to take over the party in the 1980s. Now the same DLC/ThirdWay wing is using Hillary Clinton to continue its grasp on a party that should stand for the people.If a person is required to be loyal to a political party and not question their stands on issues, then any semblance of real truth is lost. https://twitter.com/madfloridian

15. Great to see another post from you! A very good awareness of the situation.
Thanks for the post – it gives one a lot to ponder, how it all comes together in a hellish way for the common folk.

21. A short "know your enemy" history lesson: The DLC,
or Democratic Leadership Council. The edits in bold are mine.
The Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) was a non-profit 501(c)(4) corporation[1] founded in 1985 that, upon its formation, argued the United States Democratic Party should shift away from the leftward turn it took in the late 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. The DLC hailed President Bill Clinton as proof of the viability of Third Way politicians and as a DLC success story.
The DLC's affiliated think tank is the Progressive Policy Institute. Democrats who adhere to the DLC's philosophy often call themselves New Democrats. This term is also used by other groups who have similar views on where the party should go in the future, like NDN[2] and Third Way.[3]
On February 7, 2011, Politico reported that the DLC would dissolve, and would do so as early as the following week.[4] On July 5 of that year, DLC founder Al From announced in a statement on the organization's website that the historical records of the DLC have been purchased by the Clinton Foundation.[5] The DLC's last chairman was former Representative Harold Ford of Tennessee, and its vice chair was Senator Thomas R. Carper of Delaware. Its CEO was Bruce Reed.
The DLC has supported welfare reform, such as the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996,[10] President Clinton's expansion of the Earned Income Tax Credit,[11] and the creation of AmeriCorps.[12] The DLC supports expanded health insurance via tax credits for the uninsured and opposes plans for single-payer universal health care. The DLC supports universal access to preschool, charter schools, and measures to allow a greater degree of choice in schooling (though not school vouchers), and supports the No Child Left Behind Act. The DLC supports both the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA).
Whatever you want to call them, be it DLC, Third Way, Corporatists, Blue Dogs, New Democrats, or Traitors, they lost EVERYTHING.
They are anti-democracy Trojan Horse Democrats In Name Only , who took control of, and recently completely neutralized, the traditional Democratic party. Even now, after losing EVERYTHING, they are arrogantly, and defiantly, refusing to move to the left, they refuse to bend to the will of the people, they refuse to adopt a course of action that will serve the wants and needs of working Americans.
In the coming years, they will lose even what little we have left, because, like their Republican cohorts, they detest democracy, and function as a line of defense against democracy for oligarchs and their economic interests. They believe that we will be so desperate to reverse the carnage and destruction that Trump and Republicans will soon bring, that we will come crawling back to them to save ourselves. And it doesn't matter to them if Republicans or DINO's are in office. Their primary function is to prevent real democrats, like Bernie, from getting elected and subsequently tearing down the status quo system of established oligarchy, and replacing it with a democracy that fully focuses on serving the needs of human beings and the environment.
So, what is to be done? Obviously, we will have to unite, and construct a powerful and exciting new populist party to challenge and overthrow the two established parties of the oligarchy. The sooner we unite, the better. Many Trump supporters are going to quickly become disillusioned with Trump and his loony fascist administration. Left leaning Clinton supporters are going to see the writing on The Wall and realize that the Third Way New Democrats are playing them for chumps and fools, and are only going to lose more than EVERYTHING in the next go round.
When they do, it would be wise for us to have an exciting alternative in place, an already built nice populist liberal progressive home for them to come to after they abandon the stupidity and futility of supporting Trump/Republicans and Clinton/Third Way New Democrats.
It's up to us to become leaders, and somehow end this madness of always being forced to choose between two evils forever.Together, together, my friends, we have begun a political revolution to transform America, and that revolution, our revolution, continues. ~ Bernie

Bill Black: Not 4 Sale – Why the Corrupt, Worker-Hating New Democrats Must Be Purged
Posted on January 26, 2017 by Yves Smith
By Bill Black, the author of The Best Way to Rob a Bank is to Own One and an associate professor of economics and law at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Jointly published with New Economic Perspectives
This article explains three critical reasons why the Democratic Party's leaders are far more insane than all but a few Democrats understand. It focuses on the leaders of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the New Democrats. The DNC leadership is composed of New Democrats. Debbie Wasserman Schultz had to resign in disgrace when the leaks proved that she was putting the DNC's thumbs on the scale to favor Hillary Clinton (a New Democrat) in the presidential nomination contest against Bernie Sanders. Wasserman Schultz also took large contributions from big finance and, until she faced the prospect of a serious primary challenger, she supported efforts by predatory lenders to use Congress to bar the regulators from stopping their abuses….
What people need to know is that the New Democrats' historic business patrons are more despicable that Goldman Sachs. The New Democrats' first formal organization, created in 1984, was the Democratic Leadership Coalition (DLC). The DLC was funded overwhelmingly by huge corporations, but two of its donors are worthy of special note – the Koch Brothers and the Bradley Foundation. Tom Frank made this point forcefully in in 1984 in What's the Matter with Kansas. The DLC spawned another Wall Street front group with an even more dishonest name – the Progressive Policy Institute (PPI).
Large corporations provided the bulk of PPI's funding, but like the DLC it was also heavily funded by the Bradley Foundation. Harry Bradley, along with the Koch brothers' father, was a charter member of the John Birch Society. That means they were off-the-charts looney and ultra-right wing. Mr. Bradley's passion was his hatred for organized labor. He was a notorious for his employment discrimination against blacks and women. At the time the DLC and the PPI formed, the Bradley Foundation was the Nation's most destructive funder of ultra-right wing efforts to influence policy. Today, it is the force behind Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's war against organized labor. The Nation's most virulent and effective enemy of organized labor funded the New Democrats. The New Democrats knew what they were choosing to lie down with and they knew exactly what they were signaling to organized labor about their hostility to unions and disdain for the working class….

The complex alcohol beverage which delivers intense fruit and plant flavours.
On completion of this lesson the learner will be expected to
be able to;
Historical Background of Distilled Spirits
Evolution and development of distillation;
Raw materials of Distilled Spirits:
Methods of alcohol Separation:
Two distinctively different methods to separate alcohol: Congelation method (freeze distillation) and the boiling method or (heat distillation)
which is commonly referred to as the distillation method.
Congelation (cold extraction): separation by freezing below zero degrees Celsius or 31F degrees;
Distillation (heat extraction): separation by vaporization of the fermentable liquid at 78.5 degrees Celsius or 172
Degrees Fahrenheit to create alcohol'.
Pot Still: (alembic or alambic)
The Still man:separates the poisonous parts (methanol, propandl, butanol), from the required spirit (ethanol). The still
man identifies all these separations and parts by (a) tell by nose and (b) the rising hydrometer, the first and the last parts
will not be included in the final spirit as they contain toxic compounds.
Continuous still: (referred to as the Patent, Column or Coffey Still): invented by Robert Stein in 1820, developed by
Aeneas Coffey.Consists of two tall columns, each about sixty feet in height, called the analyzer and the rectifier.The
alcoholic wash is broken down into its constituent vapours, or analysed, in the analyzer, and the vapours are selectively
condensed, or rectified, in the rectifier.
Large coffey still (exterior view). Coffey still diagram. Small coffey still (interior view)
Pure alcohol is impossible to obtain as alcohol has a great affinity for water
Ancient Methods, Proof, Proven spirit:Proof or a proven spirit as an indicator of alcoholic strength derives from the early use of
gunpowderin testing spirits. Spirits were mixed with gunpowder and set alight.
Sykes Hydrometer system (1816-1980), Sykes proof law:
Invented by an English Customs Official named Sykes proof law, based on a very simple law the law of flotation. This states that a floating body
displaces its own weight of liquid. Pure alcohol is lighter than water. he took advantage of the difference in the specific gravity of water and alcohol.
He fixed his standard weight at twelve thirteenths of the weight of an equal quantity of distilled water. After calculating it out, by an involved
process of mathematics, this means that 100 proof is equal to 57% abv or 175 proof is equal to 100% abv.
Gay Lussac system:Gay-Lussac perfected a new alcoholometer easy to use and which gave directly, due to its calibration, the alcoholic
rate at a given temperature. Gay Lussac (GL) also expresses percentage volume but measures it by hydrometer at 15 degrees Celsius giving a
reading slightly higher than the OIML
Percentage of pure alcohol by volume (ABV): On the 1st January 1990 the Sykes hydrometer system was abolished under the EEC
Directive 76/766 and ABV was introduced by the Organisation Internationale de Metrologie Legale (OIML) system measures this by hydrometer
at 20C degrees. Original Skyes Hydrometer system set
The barrel: most common vessel used for maturing spirits, usually 500-litre size (although smaller sizes can also be used
which restricts the oxygen intake and changes the character of the final spirit) wooden barrel help the chemical reactions,
extraction of taste, extraction of bouquet and extraction of colour.
Evaporation loss of spirit (like angels share contains dangerous fusel oils this vaporises first.
In summary the wooden barrel helps the spirit to;
Wood finishes: More and more, some distilleries are producing whisky with various finishes, achieved by the last 6 months
to 2 years of maturation being in ex-Sherry, ex-Port, ex-Madeira,
Maturation periods: can differ (a minimum of 3 years before it can be legally called Irish or Scotch whiskey).
Used Bourbon cask. French oak cask. New American white oak.
Distilled Spirits Tasting techniques
Keep it fun, the more you taste the more you trust your olfactory senses, the nose is important (35,000 smells), it can detect
aromas diluted one part in a million. Taste (sweet, salty, sour, bitter). Spirit tasters use their nose more than taste.

Butter Cereal Chicken | Cereal Prawn Singapore
Butter Cereal Chicken | Cereal Prawn Singapore
If you are from Singapore you have probably had 'Nestum' Cereal growing up. It is a common ready to make cereal popular in Singapore and Malaysia. It's available in other countries too but this Dish is native to Singapore.
Nestum, for those who have never had it, is a mild cereal, the flakes are crispy just ever so slightly sweet and tastes a bit like baby cereal or ' Cerelac'. You must only use the 'ORIGINAL' Nestum for this dish as opposed to one of the flavored types.
Incorporating prawns (shrimp) or chicken with cereal, curry leaves & mild chili makes for a great tasty dish! And best of all, it's done in 15 minutes. Here is my recipe for Butter Cereal Chicken / Prawn Singapore, adding an extra hint of flavor to the dish.

The leading heritage group in the Capital has launched a bid to block plans to build two fast food restaurants at Edinburgh Park.
Scottish Widows Investment Partnership has applied for permission to allow branches of KFC and drive-through doughnuts firm Krispy Kreme to be built at Lochside View.
Marion Williams, director of the Cockburn Association, said: "We are very concerned by the proposed siting of these fast food outlets in a highly prominent position where the M8 terminates its approach to the city.
"It would be a sad reflection of the city's design environment if the gateway on the main route into the city amounted to these two fast food outlets."
However, the application won the support of Gyle Business Park worker Matthew Padfield, who wrote to planners to say they would provide "two good destinations for lunchtime walks and food". Councillors will make a decision on the application on Wednesday.

I never thought I would feel like Dumbo's mom someday, but I do. I am 35 years old. Never married. Never had much of a dating life. Never found the right man until now. I have finally been blessed with a wonderful husband. We recently got married on July 2, 2011. At last we can start a family :)
I still have to pinch myself and see if it's real. Throughout my 20's I saw all of my friends marry, and have kids. Now I am in my mid 30's, and I have seen a couple of my friends become GRANDPARENTS! Good grief…
I started accepting that marriage and family may not be God's plan for me. But the Lord surprised me, and brought Aaron into my life ♥
Now… maybe a baby is just right around the corner? I pray it is.

Finding Bigfoot Season 7 brings the team to New York to examine photo evidence that many believe proves the elusive cryptid may call The Big Apple home.
Cliff meets with the witness after doing some analysis of the possible Bigfoot picture and points out some very interesting aspects. They then go on to do a recreation of the photo to try and get some scale as to the size of the figure originally captured. The results were rather interesting and many in and around the Bigfoot community believe it just strengthens the case of a New York Bigfoot.
Check out the Finding Bigfoot video and see the analysis and the recreation of the possible picture of Bigfoot done by Cliff and the witness. The size of the object in the photo does seem to be quite large and much larger then a human even though the original photo has some odd anomalies. So have a watch and decide for yourself if you believe this is a possible Bigfoot evidence from New York. This is one of the more interesting investigations and analysis done on Finding Bigfoot 2015 season.

Email Marketing Integration for Nonprofits Using Salesforce - MailChimp
- Details
- May 8, 2014
- Category: App Focus
- Written by Samantha Leung
At KELL, we are always asked about the email marketing integration applications and how they work with Salesforce. With so many options out there we decided to dedicate a KELL Labs series to provide the low down on some of the more popular email marketing integrations, the details of the integration that you need to know and of course, our recommendation.
This week, we'll take a look at MailChimp for Salesforce. This fairly new integration, released in July 2013, is available on the AppExchange.
Disclaimer: pricing can change, so check with the vendor before making a decision; however, at the time of our research the cost for this integration is completely free. The cost of MailChimp itself varies based on the number of subscribers you have. It's helpful to keep in mind that if you have one contact that is subscribed to multiple lists, for example they are on three different lists, this will equal three counts against your subscriber number. You may want to take advantage of Groups or Segments in MailChimp to lower your subscription count. Information on MailChimp pricing can be found here.
MailChimp has a Knowledge Base with hundreds of frequently asked questions with accompanying how-to articles, videos, and related articles. Although these articles are pretty detailed responses with step by step information, we found that finding someone to talk to about a particular issue is not easy. To talk to someone from MailChimp with any support questions, you have to submit a ticket via their Contact Us page. They currently do not have a support line or live chat capability like some other integrations. Although they respond to emails fairly quickly, there is something left to be desired for quick support.
How Mailing Lists are Created
New subscribers who sign up on through a MailChimp subscription form are created as a Lead record if they do not match a contact based on the email address field in Salesforce by using the Hourly Sync functionality in the integration. This process will require some Lead maintenance since there is no way to force the application to make Contact records instead.
If a contact is created in Salesforce and added to a MailChimp list, you must create queries to pass this information from Salesforce to MailChimp. You can build a query in Salesforce to build a list of contacts based on filters designed to target specific MailChimp lists. The query builder allows you to preview the list of contacts that will be passed from Salesforce to MailChimp, send a query into your MailChimp list immediately, or you can schedule a query to run at the same time daily. New subscribers will be added to your MailChimp list when the query is run.
You can use both options to sync information back and forth, but we recommend that you do all your contact management within Salesforce and use the query builder to add these contacts to MailChimp. This will allow you to avoid Lead creation and management and gives you control on the criteria for which a Contact is added to a List or Group. Doing it this way, you would need a form for newsletter subscription that goes straight into Salesforce and you would not use the MailChimp subscription form.
Unsubscribe/Subscription Process
Contacts that unsubscribe from your lists with the use of MailChimp links will be taken out of those lists in Salesforce with the use of the Hourly Sync functionality and Contacts that are manually taken out of lists on a one off basis within Salesforce will be synced back into MailChimp via your queries.
The Pros
MailChimp queries allow you to work within Salesforce and sync that information into specific MailChimp Lists, Interests or Groups automatically based on specific filters. When building a query, you have the ability to choose what group, interest and group this query will send new Contacts, Leads or Campaign Members to. However, if you don't take full advantage of Interests and Groups within MailChimp, using this integration may not truly benefit you.
The Cons
If you update a contact's email address in Salesforce it breaks the sync with MailChimp since the email address field is the only unique identifier. It will instead treat it as a new contact in and the old email address will remain in MailChimp. You will need to be aware that if a contact changes their email address, they will need to manually remove the old subscriber in MailChimp and you will lose that history.
The lead management portion of the integration, if you decide to keep managing contacts within MailChimp, can be clunky. Since every Lead must have a Last Name, that field must be populated in MailChimp for a lead to be successfully created. So you have a couple options to fix this, 1. You can assign a last name to all your contacts in MailChimp, 2. You can import all of them with (Unknown) in the required Last Name field, or 3. Import all your Contacts into SF first so that when the sync happens it will find a definitely find a matching Contact and will not create a Lead record.
Another con is that the MailChimp integration does not use native Salesforce Campaigns. Instead, it uses a custom object called MailChimp Campaigns. We have a feeling this feature will be integrated soon, but as of now it is not. There are some work-arounds if your organization relies heavily on SF campaigns, you can create your SF Campaign and use a query to add your SF Campaign members to a MailChimp list or group.
Our Take
MailChimp for Salesforce is a great tool to use your Salesforce data to build targeted MailChimp Groups or Lists. The query functionality can be an asset for your organization to focus on quality communication to a targeted group rather than quantities of communication to all your Contacts. Since this integration is new, we expect to see improvements to improve usability and functionality. If you are new to MailChimp, we would definitely recommend this application since installation and Lead maintenance will not be substantial and you have the freedom to build your MailChimp lists and groups strategically. If you have been using MailChimp for a while and have a built very elaborate lists, the initial integration may take time and work but once the sync in complete, Leads are cleaned up, and queries are built, this tool can provide users with great integration without having to much manual work moving forward.

Skadden has one of the leading sports law practices in the country. We have successfully handled high-stakes matters for the National Basketball Association, the National Hockey League, the National Football League, Major League Baseball, the National Collegiate Athletic Association, the PGA TOUR, the United States Tennis Association and the Arena Football League, including litigation, antitrust, corporate, labor, league governance and intellectual property issues. We also have represented numerous individual major league teams and their owners in player disputes, mergers, acquisitions, stadium financings, venue leases, sponsorship agreements, corporate financings and project finance work.
Our attorneys have a thorough understanding of the legal challenges that can arise in the sports world and the best approaches for addressing those issues. We serve as a principal outside counsel to both the NBA and the NHL and have been involved in nearly every major legal decision affecting these leagues for more than two decades. Additionally, we have played a principal role in many of the most high-profile disputes on behalf of sports leagues, such as monopoly claims against the NFL, and labor disputes and collective bargaining agreements for the NBA, NHL, NFL and Arena Football League.
Skadden's hallmark across disciplines is our ability to handle the most challenging issues our clients face, including many first-of-their-kind matters. Our sports practice is no different. In the litigation area, we are representing the NHL in multidistrict litigation brought by a putative class of retired players for personal injuries arising from concussive and sub-concussive injuries sustained while playing in the league, and the NCAA in federal antitrust class actions by Division I football and basketball players challenging amateurism rules barring compensation for student athletes. We secured the dismissal of former Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling's lawsuit against two clients: the National Basketball Association, Commissioner Adam Silver and Former Commissioner David Stern. Our attorneys also successfully advised the NCAA, NBA, NHL, NFL and MLB in lawsuits against New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to prevent New Jersey's authorization and licensing of gambling on athletic events.
Much of our corporate work draws on the extensive and relevant experience of our attorneys across multiple practices firmwide, including M&A and banking (numerous team sales and financings for the NHL), capital markets (in Williams Invest Holdings' €250 million initial public offering — the first-ever IPO by a Formula One racing team), intellectual property and technology (with MetLife's 25-year agreement to name the Meadowlands Stadium in New Jersey — one of the largest stadium-rights deals in U.S. sports history); real estate (in a new studio lease for the MLB Network), corporate restructuring (in the Dallas Stars' and Phoenix Coyotes' bankruptcies), project finance (particularly in the construction of new stadiums and arenas) and antitrust (with our routinely advising on issues for NBA and NHL), among other areas.
Ranked in the top tier for Sports Law by Chambers USA 2017 and U.S. News — Best Lawyers "Best Law Firms" 2017, named a Chairman's Club law firm — part of the "dominant tier in sports law" — in the SportsBusiness Journal's 2016 "Power Players: Outside Counsel" feature and named among Law360's Sports Groups of 2015 and 2016, our practice covers the full range of matters industry-wide. Additional representative experience includes:

Canadian officials have traced to two mills the feed that probably caused North America's two cases of mad cow disease, one in Canada last May and the other in the United States in December.
The feed from the Canadian mills could have contained infectious protein from imported British cattle, said Dr. George Luterbach, an official of a mad cow working group in the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Canadian law prohibits disclosing the identity of the mills, Dr. Luterbach said.
Canada reported its only case of the disease, also known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or B.S.E., in an animal on a farm in Alberta. The United States followed with an announcement that a cow in Mabton, Wash., had the disease. Both animals had been raised on farms in Alberta, and both ate feed containing meat and bone meal while they were calves.
''Our best hypothesis was the animals were exposed by contaminated feed,'' Dr. Luterbach said. He said the two infected animals did not eat feed from the same mill.
In both cases, the feed was presumably given to the animals as calves just before Canada and the United States banned the use of cattle tissues in feed intended for cattle in 1997. Paperwork showed that both mills went on to comply with the feed restrictions, the agency said in issuing the conclusions of its 10-month investigation.
Dr. Luterbach said the feed could have contained tissue from infected cattle imported from Britain before Canada banned the importation of British cattle after an outbreak of mad cow disease there.
Canadian investigators had performed mad cow tests on all they could find of the 192 British cattle imported to Canada from 1980 to 1989, when Canada banned such imports, Dr. Luterbach said. The investigators followed the cattle until 1993, but could not find 68 animals that died or were culled, he said. Protein from those animals could have been processed into feed, he said.Continue reading the main story
''One or a small number may have had B.S.E.,'' Dr. Luterbach said.
The feed would have been shipped in large batches to individual farms and consumed in about a week, he said, and would not have been widely distributed.Continue reading the main story

There was loads of hype heading into the 2014 NBA Draft, and a lot of it revolved around who the Cleveland Cavaliers would draft with the first overall selection. After Joel Embiid's injury, the pick was sure to be Jabari Parker or Andrew Wiggins, however, it was uncertain who Cleveland was leaning towards heading into the draft. In the end, the Cavaliers selected Wiggins from Kansas, and paired him with Joe Harris from Virginia in the second round, addressing two different team needs.
By choosing Wiggins, Cleveland added a piece their team desperately needed. Wiggins is a high-upside player with tons of physical tools, including excellent size and athleticism. The Cavaliers needed a guy from the perimeter who was capable of defending at a high level, as both Dion Waiters and Kyrie Irving struggle from that end. He also fits in with Cleveland because he can play off of the ball. Irving and Waiters have shown that they need the ball to score, and Wiggins is not a ball-heavy type of player. Wiggins' offense is still developing, but in the meantime, he can focus on perimeter defense to start his NBA career.
Early in the second round, the Cavaliers also addressed a need, drafting Harris from Virginia with the 33rd pick. Harris, a three point specialist, shot at least 38 percent from deep in all four years in college, and also possesses a high basketball IQ. Harris lacks big-time athletic ability from the wing, but truly excels off of off-ball screens. He is constantly moving, and David Blatt will look to find creative ways to get Harris open knowing these strengths.
Furthermore, Harris possesses a strong frame, so he can take more contact than most shooters. He will most likely struggle on defense because he does not possess elite tools, however, Cleveland needed a three point shooter, and they snatched one in Harris.
The Cavaliers finish with the grade of an A- in the 2014 NBA Draft. They selected a two-way player with loads of potential in Wiggins, while also finding a spot-up shooter in Harris. Both players fit observable needs for Cleveland, and the Cavaliers avoided overthinking their selections.

Skip to comments.Remember Rick Rescorla - U.S. intelligence could learn from his valor and leadership
Posted on 09/20/2002 9:24:36 AM PDT by gubamyster
September 20, 2002, 9:00 a.m.
By Bill Gertz.
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is an excerpt from Breakdown: How America's Intelligence Failures Led to September 11.
ick Rescorla began the day as he usually did. He got up at 4:30 A.M., kissed his wife goodbye, and took the 6:10 train to Manhattan. A combat veteran who fought in Vietnam's bloody Ia Drang Valley, Rescorla was at his desk in a corner office of the World Trade Center by 7:30. It was September 11, 2001, and outside the day was clear and bright. Rescorla was on the forty-fourth floor of the South Tower when the first hijacked airliner slammed into its nearby twin. Rescorla sprang into action. Grabbing a bullhorn, he went to work in the same calm fashion that he showed under intense combat fire in Vietnam.
Born Cyril Richard Rescorla in Hayle, Cornwall, England, Rick was vice president for security at Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, one of Wall Street's largest brokerage houses. The company had 3,700 employees in the World Trade Center 2,700 employees in the south tower on floors forty-four through seventy-four and 1,000 employees in Building Five across the plaza. There was no hesitation. He ordered everyone to evacuate the building immediately. A short time after the aircraft hit, an official of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owned the Trade Center towers, called. Everyone in the building should stay put because there was no danger, the Port Authority man said. Rescorla shot back: "Piss off, you son of a bitch. Everything above where that plane hit is going to collapse, and it's going to take the whole building with it. I'm getting my people the f*** out of here." He recounted the exchange in a telephone call to his longtime friend Dan Hill, then ran off and began helping the evacuation.
As a security professional, it was Rescorla's job to think like a terrorist. In 1990, he saw that the World Trade Center was a likely target for a terrorist attack because it was a symbol of American economic power. He did a security survey of the building and concluded, with Hill's help, that driving a truck bomb into the basement near a key supporting column would bring down the entire complex. On February 26, 1993, that exact scenario almost played out. Islamic terrorists set off a homemade chemical bomb packed inside a rental truck that was parked in the basement, in an attempt to make the towers collapse.
Rescorla knew the Islamic terrorists who failed the first time would try again. He thought the terrorists' next attempt would be to fly a plane, possibly filled with chemical or biological weapons, into the towers. He had advised Morgan Stanley executives that the company should move from the Twin Towers to a safer location. But the company's lease went until 2006. The next best thing, Rescorla thought, was to practice evacuation drills. He pressed the company to conduct regular drills even though some employees grumbled and joked about them. Every few months, all 2,700 employees in the South Tower would be marched, with Rescorla at the bullhorn, in an arduous trek down the long winding stairwell of one of the world's highest skyscrapers and out of the building, just for practice. Another 1,000 employees would be evacuated from the Morgan Stanley offices nearby.
On September 11, the evacuation was real. A fireball erupted in the nearby tower, and all of Morgan Stanley's employees were making their way down and out of the other tower. By the time the second hijacked airliner hit the south tower at 9:07 a.m., most of the company's employees were out. But Rescorla's work was not finished. Three employees were missing. Rescorla and two assistants went back to look for them. Rescorla was last seen on the tenth floor of the burning tower. He died when the building collapsed a short time later. But he had saved thousands of lives. Out of 3,700 employees, Morgan Stanley lost only six, including Rescorla. R. James Woolsey, former director of Central Intelligence, sees Rescorla as the kind of person urgently needed by U.S. intelligence. An iconoclast and strategic thinker who wasn't afraid to buck the system, Rescorla "is an example of somebody who should have probably been at the top of the intelligence community, but wasn't," Woolsey told me. "He's a perfect example of the kind of guy that the Germans say has fingerspitzengefühl fingertip feel" or intuition, he said. "God, it would have been wonderful if he had been the head of the DO's [the CIA's Directorate of Operations] counterterrorist operations, but at least he saved 3,700 people."
Aside from his military experience, Rescorla, sixty-two, had worked for British intelligence, conducting special operations in some dangerous places. And while his specialty was corporate security, intelligence and security are symbiotic. On September 11, they were hopelessly divided.

I hope they make ANOTHER movie about his man's couragious spirit and life. I just pray none of the losers in Slutty-wood get the part.

The New York Jets had two weeks to prepare for the Seattle Seahawks. Perhaps someone forgot to tell them when the bye week ended. It would be easy to pick the superficial heroes and zeroes of the games. CenturyLink Field being the 12th man has helped the Seahawks maintain their 5-0 home record. It would be easy to give the hero to the crowd.Mark Sanchez was the fourth best passer on the field. He was behind Russell Wilson, Golden Tate and his teammate Tim Tebow. Sanchez threw his fourth red-zone interception. And he fumbled while being sacked. It would be easy to give Sanchez the zero award.But lets go beyond the obvious.HeroThis was a toss-up between Marshawn Lynch and Golden Tate. Lynch edged out Tate by a Skittle. After Lynch's fumble, he rebounded. Lynch had 27 carries for 124 yards and one touchdown. He ended the day with 1,005 yards for the season. While the Jets' offense was inept, their defense played a formidable game for three quarters. Lynch's yards were hard fought. And he won. Congratulations on making the 1,000 yard mark, 10 weeks in the season. For his steadiness and his ability to rebound, Lynch is the hero of the game.ZeroAh, Jets and your bravado. Antonio Cromartie and your predictions and proclamations. Rex Ryan and the promises of Gang Green's ascension. And then of course the kid of hope Tim Tebow. And then there is Mark Sanchez and his woeful ineptness. Against the Seahawks, Sanchez was 9 of 22 passes for 124 yards. He fumbled. And he threw his fourth red-zone interception. And yet he is still not the zero of the gameThat distinction goes to offensive coordinator Tony Sparano. Sparano replaced Brian Schottenheimer as New York Jets offensive coordinator. Schottenheimer was widely blame for Sanchez's ineptness last year. Maybe someone should rethink that?The excitement of Sparano was compounded because he is the architect of the Wildcat. He ran it to perfection while with the Miami Dolphins. Since preseason we have been waiting with barely contained anticipation for what Sparano would draw up for the Jets. The wait is over. Against the Seahawks even the announcers were calling the plays Tebow would run when he came in. The offensive calls are clearly not helping Sanchez maximize his assets. Sparano's offense disappoints. And for that he is the zero of the game, if not the season. Follow me on Twitter @neverenoughglt

Today my Burger Love adventure drew me into The Old Triangle, not only the reigning Champions of Porktoberfest 2013, but also the home of the incredible looking Burger Love creation, "The Big Sheppy!" Inspired by the ever popular Shepherd Pie on the Triangle's menu, this burger sees that classic dish updated, Burger Love style!
A collective effort of the creative minds at The Old Triangle, the awesome Chef Kent Wilson came out to have a chat with me about this delectable Burger. Extremely passionate about house made, locally sourced ingredients, I was instantly impressed by their dedication to not only Burger Love but excellence when it comes to everything The Triangle has to offer. Not only that, but the whole restaurant exudes a cheery warmth that can only be because the staff is not merely colleagues but more akin to family. From owners Jill and Paul to waitress Sam, I had the best time chatting about passion for everything PEI and the excitement that Burger Love has generated!
And as I saw The Big Sheppy making it's way to my table, I could tell instantly why it's been served to over 600 very happy Islanders! It smells like all of the comforting things
you could imagine and had a delightfully charming presence with it's flower-like swirl of mashed potatoes. You can't get more classic than this Burger, it's a timeless tradition of its own.
And with that first bite, I discovered the sheer smoothness of the Sheppy and even though it was chilly outside, my heart and soul was instantly warmed by this fantastic Burger! It was the kind of first bite you write home about: "Wish you were here so you could try this amazing Burger. But get your own 'cause it's way to good to share!" It's just as much a burger as it is shepherd's pie and it mirrors all of my favorite things about both dishes!
With 8oz of Island Beef, Smoked Bacon, Herbed Mashed Potatoes with Creamed Corn, Beef Gravy and Deep Fried Squash Frites on a Grilled Cornmeal Bun it's the best thing since Shepherd's Pie!
Now, let me just say that PEI Potatoes have never been so proud as they are all swirly and creamy on top of the Sheppy, nestled around a heart of Cream Corn, these herbed mashed potatoes are truly Island inspired yum! These two flavors are a huge part of what makes this a real tribute to Shepherd's Pie and they pull that off perfectly. But the Sheppy's depth doesn't end at the all embracing creaminess of the potatoes and corn! There are also crispy squash frites which are pleasantly sweet and add another aspect of texture to The Sheppy.
On a locally made MacAulay's Bakery Cornmeal Bun, this fluffy and light bun ties everything together, especially with a the light dusting of cornmeal atop it that brings out the flavors of the Burger even more!
As my side, I picked an bowl of soup that I had no idea how much I would love! I propose that we announce next month as "Soup Love", so that I have an excuse to go in an have a bowl of Chef Phillip's amazing soups everyday! Then again, with a fresh daily creation at The Triangle, every day pretty well is Soup Love! This house made Cream of Turkey and Vegetable Soup was laden generously with juicy chunks of turkey! It's irresistibly creamy base was hearty and perfect on the palate, herbed to compliment the turkey, this soup is even better than anything your mother's made! Topped with crispy squash frites and it's warm creaminess, this soup was an ideal mate to The Big Sheppy!
The true comfort food of PEI Burger Love, The Big Sheppy has my heart from the very first sniff and I fell head over heels over burger for this amazing creation! It's something that everyone can easily love and will make your heart flutter with all of it's skillfully prepared, fresh and local ingredients!
Rejoice Burger Lovers, The Big Sheppy is waiting for you at The Old Triange, now...Go get it!

Daily Thunder • Welcome to Loud City
ESPN Instant Classic? Come on Sklar Brothers, I know you're reading this right now and I know you can make this happen. This game had every thing an NBA fan could want. It was a dog fight. It was a gun fight. Both teams played extremely hard on both ends of the floor and both teams deserved to win this game.
The narrative even played right into the hands of Celtics lore only to come up short of being memorable for the right reasons. Ray Allen had not made a three all game and was given two opportunities to be a hero, to get off the schnide, to exhibit that shooter/killer instinct, to believe and back up the mantra "next one's going in." He missed. Twice.
Regardless of the unfavorable outcome for Celtics fans, there were so many things to love about this game from a basketball fan prospective. That is not to say there weren't quite a few positive things to take away from this game if you bleed Green.
This game was unbelievable for so many different reasons:
- Rajon Rondo had a double-double with 16 points and 11 assists
- Kevin Garnett scored 18 points and grabbed 9 boards all while showing flashes of the alley-oop offense returning.
- Paul Pierce played 37 minutes and showed no ill-effects from the shoulder stingers while playing great defense the entire game.
- The Celtics had 9 steals in this game by playing the passing lanes tough and anticipating Thunder passes
- Russell Westbrook could not be contained, scoring most of his 21 points right at the bucket. Just take a look at his shot chart: See that collection of orange dots in the lane? Each one of those represents a little shred of pride one takes in man to man defense that Russell Westbrook stole and put in his back pocket.
- Kevin Durant scored 37 points and was 15 for 15 from the free throw line. How do you guard Kevin Durant? The answer is simple: you don't. It was amazing to watch Durant miss fairly easy shots in the All Star Horse competition, and then watch him come out and absolutely shred players in real games.
- Rasheed Wallace had his best game of the season. I know his 27 point performance earlier in the season was really impressive and fun to witness, but this one was hope-inspiring. Sheed played to his strengths, dominating the Thunder's post players, hitting big threes within the offense, and got one VERY BIG offensive rebound. Despite the loss, this game could have revved Sheed's engine enough for overdrive. Better late than never huh?
- Kendrick Perkins had three big blocks- one in particular on some great help defense on Russell Westbrook
- The Celtics shot 60% from the floor…and LOST! That is almost unheard of.
The Celtics, of course, lost. Thus, this game was not without any objections:
- The Celtics got very little from Nate Robinson and Marquis Daniels. Daniels played some pretty solid defense, but he should be getting at least eight points. He is at least eight points good. At least.
- Despite my post earlier today describing Glen Davis' ineptitude from outside of ten feet, he failed to prove me wrong. (In your best John Stewart feel-good voice) two words: Shooooooooooottttttt Charrrrrtttt:
Weak Baby, weak.
There is so much more I can write about this game but I want to hear from you. Cheer up ILG, this was a great game.

Rio de Janeiro - Rio de Janeiro's iconic landscape is now an official World Heritage Site.
The UN's Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation gave Rio the title on Sunday in recognition of the unique way its exuberant natural setting blends with the urban landscape.
Among the sites recognised by name were Copacabana beach, the Sugar Loaf mountain and the Christ the Redeemer monument atop Corcovado mountain.
Also mentioned was the Tijuca National Park, which is one of the largest forests in the world within an urban area.
Some of the areas have been degraded by pollution, such as Botafogo Bay.
Brazilian official say the designation will help improve the condition of these areas.

Posting video to your site is invaluable. Let's face it, more people would rather watch than read. If you are producing and publishing your own videos be certain you have no visual mistakes.
Consider the video here, highly popular, for Direct TV featuring super stars Peyton Manning, Eli Manning and Lionel Richie. For the most part, it is well done, save one blooper! Notice closely when Peyton is "penciling in" Eli and licks his wrong finger to turn the pages of his calendar.
Mistakes like this will detract from your message and cost you in credibility!
