What's In That Bottle Of Van Winkle Anyway?
June 11th, 2012A few weeks ago, when I posted my review of Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve 15 year old here, a big discussion ensued about the source of this whiskey (and other Van Winkle expressions). I noted at the time that the comment thread on my review was neither the time nor place to discuss something as in-depth as this. I wanted to focus on the quality of the whiskey, not the politics behind it.
We approached the person who we feel knows as much about the subject as anyone, Whisky Advocate contributor Chuck Cowdery. He went directly to Julian Van Winkle for the facts, and here's his report.
It's no secret that the Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery isn't a distiller. It's a marketing company, and a brand, run by Julian Van Winkle III and his son, Preston, with partners the Sazerac Company.
Van Winkle, as a brand name, was retained by the Van Winkle family when Julian's father sold the Stitzel-Weller Distillery in 1972. Julian took over after his father died. The company continued to operate as a non-distiller producer, mostly selling whiskey made at Stitzel-Weller, which stopped distilling twenty years ago.
About ten years ago, with whiskey from Stitzel-Weller no longer available, the Van Winkles entered into a joint venture with the Sazerac Company to secure a future supply. Sazerac's Buffalo Trace Distillery made wheated bourbon sporadically between 1991 and 1999, and in earnest after 1999. When Sazerac acquired the W. L. Weller brand in 1999, it received stocks of wheated bourbon made at the new Bernheim distillery between 1992 and 1999.
That's where things stand now.
Because the Van Winkle whiskeys are so rare, esteemed and costly, there is always a great deal of interest in where they were made. Sources changed over the years and it can be hard to keep up. It is impossible for anyone, even the Van Winkles, to say with certainly what any given bottle contains, though except for the rye, everything in recent years has been Buffalo Trace, Bernheim, or Stitzel-Weller, individually or in combination. They create a profile prior to bottling, based on what they have available and how much whiskey they need, then dump barrels accordingly.
Here, specifically, is the make-up for the upcoming (Fall 2012) bottling. This information comes directly from Julian Van Winkle.
The Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye has long been a 50/50 combination of Medley (Owensboro) and Cream of Kentucky (old Bernheim in Louisville) rye whiskey. The whiskey was all dumped into stainless steel tanks years ago. Each fall, some of it is withdrawn and bottled.
This fall's Old Rip Van Winkle 10 year old will be wheated bourbon made entirely at the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort.
Van Winkle Family Reserve 12 year old ('Lot B') will be a mixture of wheated bourbons made at the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort and the Bernheim Distillery in Louisville.
Pappy Van Winkle 15 year old will be a mixture of wheated bourbons made at Buffalo Trace, Bernheim, and Stitzel-Weller; every bottle will contain some whiskey from each distillery.
Pappy Van Winkle 20 year old and Pappy Van Winkle 23 year old will be a mixture of wheated bourbons made at Buffalo Trace and Stitzel-Weller.
Eventually, as current stocks are depleted, everything will become Buffalo Trace.

Chuck & John, thanks for giving us the straight dope.
Outstanding. A succinct answer. Many thanks!
Awesome! Thanks for the details. I like good bourbon, regardless of where it is coming from, but this is really useful information to have. When rumors get started, ie. "its the last from S/W" , then the desire to purchase a bottle of that rare product can be greater. What you provided removes some of the hype, and lets the buyer make an informed decision. Even if its not soley S/W, I consider it good bourbon worth buying.
Yes. I echo the thanks. Good information. Still, in the end…good whiskey is good whiskey!
"Sazerac's Buffalo Trace Distillery made wheated bourbon sporadically between 1991 and 1999, and in earnest after 1999."
Okay, so the oldest of that would be 21 years old.
"Pappy Van Winkle 20 year old and Pappy Van Winkle 23 year old will be a mixture of wheated bourbons made at Buffalo Trace and Stitzel-Weller."
So there's BT whiskey in 23yo PVW, despite the fact that they've been producing wheated bourbon for only 21 years.
Well, I guess it's possible. My wife, who was born the same year as myself (waaay before 1983) is only 29 years old!
Wow, what's everyone going to talk about on the blogs this year now that this is so clear? 😉
What's in the bottles I bought 2 years ago ?? 🙂
now this topic can be put to bed. thanks john/chuck/julian.
Ha! How long have you been on the internet, Pat? It's a conspiracy, don't ya know.
Interesting. Thanks for the research!
Anyone ever tasted single malt matured in ex-Stitzel-Weller casks. It's really awesome ?
It would be so lovely if at least 20 percent of the people "outraged" that PVW 15 and 20 has BT juice in it decided to no longer buy them. MORE FOR ME. 😀
According to Julian, the Pappy 23 for the next several years is already in bottles and it's all SW. The next time they bottle it, there will be BT in it. The next bottling of Pappy 20 will include BT. The Bernheim juice in the mix is just from that 1992-1999 window, so it's 13- to 20-years-old now. Personally, I'm a Lot B guy and it has continued to be great and, to my taste, virtually unchanged since the SW went out of the mix, so I think the future is bright for the line. The drinking of the last SW, when that day comes, will be notable but not tragic.
Chuck, I believe your optimism–that the future will be bright for the Van Winkle line–is a perspective many folks haven't seen the wisdom of. Seems to me that the fans fretting over the provenance of VW bourbon haven't been seeing the forest for the trees: how fortunate they've been that the Van Winkle's and Sazerac formed their partnership in the first place. What would VW fans be discussing if that hadn't happened?? I'm glad we aren't having such conversations.
What is so funny for me is the fervor over the SW whiskey coming to an end. It's as though people forget that perhaps the best and most capable distillery in the world(Buffalo Trace) is actually producing the future releases. I am a big fan of SW whiskey, but I don't think I would ever say its better than BT's best stuff. With more age/time there is plenty of reason to be optimistic.
That is what I think too. I would pick a Stagg or a Sazerac (Antique Collection) any day over the SW if I could only choose one. Yes, the SW is very good but I think there are even better whiskey days ahead with BT in charge.
I no longer buy them because I can no longer find them. I guess it's Weller and Buffalo for me.
Same here.
The one I really regret not being able to get is the Rye.
Just visited StitzelWeller a couple of weeks ago. It is being turned into a museum and visitor center for Bulleit.
Only the 23 is already bottled. The others, including the 20, will be bottled and released this fall. One thing I think that's hard for people to grasp is how small this brand really is, especially at its upper reaches. Even for BT's hand bottling lines it's a small run. We not only don't know how many barrels of SW there are left, we don't know how much whiskey is in them. And a 20-year-old barrel of BT juice will have the same issues. The barrels don't have level gauges on them. You only find out how much you have when you dump them. All these factors are why the answers aren't as satisfyingly simple as we'd like them to be.
Hi, John, Chuck,
As a PVW fan, very informative. Cheers.
John (or anyone in the know),
Can you confirm that Van Winkle products will only be released in the fall beginning in 2012 and that the 2012 spring release was the final spring release of VW?
Also, are they or aren't they discontinuing ORVW10/90?
Thanks in advance for the insights.
Thanks for all this great information. I'm going to keep a copy of this at the bar to show folks who come in asking after Pappy.
so, if i understand correctly, the key difference between different yearly iterations of some/most of these lines is how long the whiskey has been sitting in a stainless steel vat. and perhaps not even that? it's the releases that are annual, not the vattings or even the bottlings?
mongo, only the rye is tanked. some bottlings have appeared with later releases (e.g. '09 bottles of 15yr appeared in '10 and '11), and it sounds like they have bottled a few years of the 23yr at once.
to answer your questions: the releases have been biannual, the 'vattings' change (as described by chuck above. presumably the product has been of consistent quality), and some bottles from previous years show up in later allocations.
I think I got that right. I don't want to throw any more bs out there.
I know of no impending changes to the line nor anything about discontinuing spring releases, and know of no reason why either should take place.
Thanks for putting that rumor to rest.
I have never really gotten into the whole Van Winkle thing like a lot of folks do. One thing is my liver will not digest whiskey that costs that damn much. I do treasure the S-W juice I have, it is good whiskey, and I think BT will and must be doing a fine job of copying it.
Great coverage, Chuck, and thanks. I enjoy PVW when I get it — though I'm of the opinion that the 15 YO is the pick of the litter — but I've given up looking for it (and no, I don't get freebies on this one). Too many great whiskeys are on the shelf every day to worry about it. I'll leave that to the collectors.
Who cares what's in it? It's delicious!!! But actually, I've always thought the Lot B was a bit overrated. Don't get me wrong, it's good stuff, just not great like some of the other VW's.
Bob, if you travel or dine out much keep an eye peeled for private, single barrel, restaurant/bar selections of 12yr VW. There's a few out there and those I've tried have been unreal. If you see a bottle of Lot B at a fine restaurant/bar with a sticker beneath the label that says "hand selected for ***** by Julian Van Winkle… sit down and have a drink!
Thanks for the heads up, RN! I've seen Lot B at a few restaurant/bars, but never looked to see if they were private selections. I will have to be on the lookout so I can give it a try. Thanks again!
Wait! So I paid $120+ for a bottle of Buffalo Trace just to have it packaged in a Pappy van Winkle 20 yr old bottle?
120 is cheap!, and what will a bottle of 20yo BT cost?. Few of the BTAC's are that old….
I think a general principle is worth repeating here and I'm not directing this at any individual on this thread or elsewhere. It's just something good to keep in mind. Just because you don't know something, that doesn't necessarily mean it's a secret. It has never been a secret that Sazerac and thus Van Winkle has three sources for wheated bourbon: Stitzel-Weller bourbon made until 1992, Bernheim bourbon made between 1992 and 1999, and Buffalo Trace bourbon made after 1991. You just have to look at a calendar to know that the SW stocks are running out and the others are taking their place. This has never been a secret and the Van Winkles and the Sazerac folks have never misrepresented any of it to me.
Ok, thanks!!! I feel better now. (Sorry for the confusion on my part…)
Why wasn't Buffalo Trace's Master Distiller, Harlen Wheatley, interviewed for this article? His statements to two members of a different forum launched this controversy, particularly his contention that the PVW 20 (and possibly 23) were mixed with BT wheated juice contract-distilled in the 1980s, and the Van Winkle Rye was no longer the tanked CoK/Medley but now a 13-year BT-distilled rye. By merely interviewing the Van Winkles–who were unlikely to contradict their previous statements–but not Mr. Wheatley, we have half of an article. It solves very little.
Harlen Wheatley has a phone number and email address. You, Chuck, or somebody at your magazine could call him up and talk for five minutes to clarify his prior statements that directly contradict the Van Winkles' version of events. It wouldn't be an onerous obligation. But as your post indicated, you'd prefer to ask one side (the Van Winkles), call that "the truth" and end it there.
And frankly John, I'm disappointed you'd use that kind of hyperbolic reductio ad absurdum to defend the article's glaring omissions. "Gee, why don't I interview every human who ever lived?" And that line about "world peace"? Totally unnecessary. You've chosen to cover this, so why not do it properly? PVW is the hottest name in bourbon and to many enthusiasts (your readers), the origins of the whiskey and veracity of the bottler matter. Yes, Bernheim and BT make some killer wheated juice. That's not the point.
You didn't show any interest in this story when it broke months ago; and when I emailed you about it at the time, you said you could ask about it, but you weren't going to. It was only after the controversy spread to your PVW 15 review that you finally relented and released Chuck's half-measure article.
Perspective is great–yes, this is only whiskey, not life and death. But the fact remains: Harlen should have been interviewed. His statements fundamentally contradict the Van Winkles' version of events. A curious person would ask, "Who is right?" Others would merely ask one side and declare the issue dead, lest they step on the the wrong industry toes.
OK, reading through this comment thread, I just got pissed again and have to vent, so here goes… for the last 10 or so years, I have enjoyed the Old Rip Van Winkle 90 and 107 10YO and the 12YO Lot B very frequently and believe it or not, I go back far enough with it that I still have 1/2 bottle of ORVW 15 107 (NOT PAPPY 15, mind you) in the back corner of my whiskey cabinet from maybe 15-17 years ago (obviously SW). About 3-4 years ago, a manager at Binny's told me that the Lot B was getting scarce, so I actually got scared and bought a case and put it down in storage. Over those 3-4 years, I always saw MANY bottles of the Lot B on the Binny's shelves, so I drank my case up one by one (also picking up a bottle now and then from the store). NOW, when I go to replenish, I can't even get a single bottle of ORVW 10 YO 90 or 107 proof which used to fill the BOTTOM shelf at Binny's and was ALWAYS there when I wanted a bottle or two. I get the whole mystique and aura around the age-ed Pappy's but come on – the ORVW used to be overlooked by just about EVERYONE. Not to sound arrogant (I know it will), but all the Johnny-Come-Latelys have really ruined the whole Van Winkle brand and actually I think I'm done. I have one bottle of the older Lot B left in storage and 2 bottles of Pappy 15 in a box in the basement and now I'm tired of the big search and jumping through hoops for Julian Van Winkle's marvelous marketing machine. It's Old Fitz (bonded) and Old Grand-Dad (bonded) for me from now on. Thanks to all of you for saving me thousands on my whiskey bills and you can enjoy one less competitor for the precious juice (it lives now only in my memories). Oh and I guess I can always dip into the two cases of AH Hirsch 16 YO I have in storage as well if I feel the need for something "noteworthy".
It sounds like you'll be okay, Steve, if only just.
Wow. I've never seen a thread on this blog degenerate to such a degree over, essentially, nothing. I'm filing this under the "Get a Life" category.
You have my sympathies, John and Chuck.
It's more like, "get a job."
I'll second Sam. Boy am I glad I sit in my little corner and drink my VW rye and could care less about the bourbons!
To all the cracked-out S-W fanatics: Wait a few more years until the S-W bourbon is all gone from current bottlings! Being a Michter's (Pennsylvania) guy, imagine how hard it is for me to find ANY of their liquids today for less than $500 a bottle. The day is coming for you- S-W junkie! Start getting nervous! Start hoarding! Freak out on all the forums! The sky! The sky! It's falling!!
Seriously- John, Chuck, you guys answered the questions in a straight, no-bones-about-it manner. If people can't accept this, that's on them, not you. Keep up the great work!
Funny stuff, Ethan. It really does seem like a fanatic cult, doesn't it?
It's only whiskey…
Totally. I had a great laugh as I read the comments. This runs parallel to the automotive world where every man seems to know more than anyone else and they like to sit at home and shout about it behind the security of their computer screen.
Let's just all be thankful that the VanWinkles and Buffalo Trace have been this transparent and willing to share. They, after all, could withhold ALL the specifications and information.
In the meantime, I think I'll have another swig of rye….
What's wrong with free speech, John?
John, what Chuck calls hearsay, I call a distinct memory. And the statements made by Harlan in Dallas were confirmed by another witness. I assume you haven't read the post I made about that meeting, it's worth researching in my opinion. Granted, I was there and you were not, so you're fully obliged to be skeptical. But while I may not be the proprietor of a large whiskey publication, I am a devoted bourbon lover and very familiar with the subject. I also have zero interest in generating falsities for the sake of causing a stir or drawing attention to myself.
"Harlen knows what is being discussed, he is aware of this so-called 'controversy,' has been from day one. He knows me. If he has something to add, he'll add it. Harlen Wheatley and Julian Van Winkle are not on different sides, they are on the same side."
Which is exactly why he won't comment. /They are on the same side./ If what he told us in Dallas was true, he would potentially damage the VW brand by confirming it publicly and destroying the mystique (which is driven mostly by the internet's long held assumptions). It's hard to believe he misspoke, as we asked for clarification a 2nd time after trying to process the bomb he just dropped on us. And of course if he WAS wrong, then reneged on his previous statements, what would that do for his reputation as a master distiller? I understand he cannot be everywhere at once, and likely there are some things he is not in control of or aware of, but how else could he make such confident statements if he wasn't in direct knowledge of those facts? And if he wasn't in direct knowledge, why would he even make such statements?
Personally, I suspect he had no idea his words would spread virally through the online bourbon communities. It's so convenient that, according to a previous post by Chuck on StraightBourbon.com, Harlan "doesn't remember" making those statements in Dallas. Well, yeah, if I fed the someone the wrong information, and it was causing a big stink, I'd probably hold my tongue as well and leave damage control to the marketing teams (the VWs). It's the easiest way to remove himself from the drama and discredit anyone who claims he said otherwise.
So far it seems they have done a decent job of covering up what he said to us. They've found a way to satisfy the enthusiast crowd's curiosity – giving us trinkets of information that appear to be in line with the purported scenario – without fully admitting everything or directly responding to allegations regarding the provenance of the whiskey.
I must submit, as complementary evidence, Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye. I doubt many people have had the opportunity to sample several different releases at once, side by side.
The Myth: Current releases of VWFRR are a 50/50 blend of 18/19 year old Cream of Kentucky and Medley rye, which was dumped into stainless steel around the "G" release of this bottling several years ago. It has been maintained that no other distillates are in the blend. However, since I didn't see these words coming out of Julian's mouth, I'm going to chalk it up to hearsay 🙂
The Claim by Harlan: As of now the VWFRR is all or mostly BT distilled 13 year old rye and BT has been providing the rye whiskey to the VWs for a couple years.
The calendar math isn't perfect, but for the sake of this argument I'm willing to assume that BT was distilling rye in the late 90s. I can't find any information that confirms or contradicts this right now.
The Taste: Having directly compared a "G" bottling (circa 2005) of VWFRR to a newer "B" bottle (2011) I can tell you with explicit confidence that there is a huge differentiation in their profiles, and not the kind of change I would expect from aeration in stainless steel. They are without two completely different whiskeys, with the latter fitting the green, sour wood profile of BT more than anything else. We were also fortunate to have an "A" bottling, purchased around 2010, join this tasting, and it tasted like a vatting of the G and B bottlings, leading me to believe they slowly (over 1 or 2 years) phased out the older distillates by topping it off with newer whiskey.
Conclusion: I believe what Harlan said, at least most of it, to be entirely true. I actually suspected there was BT distillate in the VWFRR well before I met him, so all he did was confirm that notion to me. No surprise. That being said, I still adore the VWFRR as a BT distillate, I'm not knocking on it whatsoever. If BT is in fact producing this whiskey, I'd be proud of them as I normally don't enjoy their products. Hopefully in the coming years there will be more of this delicious juice around for everyone to savor.
I completely intend for this to be a respectful post and I am not trying to take stabs at anyone on here, just present my understanding of the facts. I hope that it has, at the very least, inspired a few of you to be more skeptical and not blindly believe everything you read (from distilleries or representatives of brands). Obviously, in some cases, they have a vested interest in guarding the provenance of their products.
so, now it seems that if chuck had in fact asked harlan wheatley–as you are insisting he should have–he would not have repeated what he apparently told you. what then would chuck learn or add to his account? better to spend your energy having a grand jury set up and subpoenas issued. until then you're not going to get anywhere with this (even if your account of your conversation with harlan wheatley is absolutely correct).
I haven't insisted that Chuck do anything. It wouldn't do me any good.
fair enough. but here have been others upstream who have.
i'm not sure what more chuck could have done. i think it is reasonable to think that the proprietor of a brand (whose name is on the bottle) is a good source of information on what's in the bottles. i don't think there's any good reason for him to have felt the need to cross-check the information with someone else (and you yourself concede that if followed up with in that way harlan wheatley would probably "get back on message").
all of this being said, i think it would be a good thing for malt advocate (and like publications) to not just reproduce the industry line but also go back and follow up with questions that may come up after the fact. it does not have to be done combatively. and who knows, maybe if this issue had not been raised combatively here (by barrel char and tadas) they (john and chuck) would have been more receptive to it.
I was there with StraightNoChaser here in Dallas when Harlen told us what he did.
He was very clear and factual, and among our group of 4-5 whiskey lovers we must have asked him to clarify certain points 3-4 times. Each time he spoke more definitively to the "facts" as he presented them – he actually grew frustrated with us because we were, frankly, aghast at what he told us.
He was nice, he was sober, he was lucid and concise – there wasn't "wiggle room" – he flat out told us the facts as they've been presented on Straightbourbon.com (I won't rehash them here).
I don't believe anybody is lying. I just feel confident that not everybody knows exactly what is going on during every step of the production process. Marketing, distribution – and production – don't always have each others' backs.
Thanks for the article John and Chuck. I found it very informative and interesting.
John, did you get a chance to speak with Julian yet on the math discrepancy that Scott pointed out? I'm interested to hear his response.
Thanks again guys. Always appreciated.
[…] have gotten a bit serious here of late, what with all the Van Winkle Bourbon source talk and the Bruichladdich sell-out discussions. So, to balance this with a less serious side of whisky, […]
I finally secured a 15 year old bottle of Pappys this fall, tried twice now and I am curious what others are tasting. It is off compared to last 2 releases per my taste buds.
I am on a waiting list for the Pappy V 12 and 20 year. Interesting to know that it was blended with Charles Medley. I sold Charles Medley Distillery the new roofing on the barrel houses in 2008. While re-roofing one of the empty barrel houses we discovered three barrels of 25 year old bourbon. They bottled what was left and I have some. I have only sipped it since I do not have much…but it was amazing. Wonder what that is worth if I were to sell? The distillery still has not re-opened due to funding.
Forgive me for beating a dead horse, but the comment about PVW at the head of this page says of the fall 2012 release: "Pappy Van Winkle 20 year old and Pappy Van Winkle 23 year old will be a mixture of wheated bourbons made at Buffalo Trace and Stitzel-Weller."
Yet, the article on page 70 of the Fall 2012 Whisky Advocate says: "The Fall 2012 allocation of Pappy 23 year old was bottles years ago and is all Stitzel-Weller…"
Which is it???

Keeping Your Heart Healthy With Life's Simple 7 Keeping your heart healthy is one of the most important ways to make sure you are feeling your very best. As a young person, if you start doing small things every day that keep your body healthy, you have a better chance of living a longer, happier and healthier life. Having good health will also make you less likely to develop many other types of diseases, like cancer and type 2 diabetes.
How Do I Know If My Heart is Healthy? Life's Simple 7 1.Avoid smoking and using tobacco products 2.Be physically active every day 3.Eat a heart-healthy diet 4.Keep a healthy weight 5.Keep your blood pressure healthy 6.Keep your total cholesterol healthy 7.Keep your blood sugar healthy
What is Heart Disease? Cardiovascular disease, or CVD, is a very serious health condition that keeps the heart or blood vessels from working properly. When our heart and blood vessels are working at their best, blood flows easily and is circulated around the body freely. If there is a clog in our blood vessels or if our heart is not pumping blood properly, this prevents blood from being delivered to many important parts of our body. Not having blood constantly delivered throughout our body can cause serious illness or even death. Although some people are born with certain types of CVD, most people develop CVD as a result of poor lifestyle habits, such as eating unhealthy foods, not getting enough exercise or using tobacco.
What is Stroke? A stroke happens when a blood vessel that carries oxygen to the brain gets blocked or bursts. When that happens, blood can't deliver oxygen to part of the brain and that part of the brain starts to die. Without the right medical attention, a stroke can cause major damage to the brain. People who have a stroke may have problems speaking, seeing or moving normally for a short time or for the rest of their lives. The person can even die from a stroke. Older adults are more likely to have a stroke than younger people, but people can have a stroke at any age. Other factors that increase risk of stroke include high blood pressure, cigarette smoking, diabetes, other types of cardiovascular disease, and high blood cholesterol.
Let's Get Started With Life's Simple 7 You make many choices every day, like what color socks to wear or how to fix your hair. When it comes to making decisions that keep you healthy, it may seem difficult to choose better options when so many things seem easier or just more fun. Knowing the healthy choices to make will help you take small steps in a healthy direction! Before you know it, it will be easier to make choices every day that help keep you healthy.
1.Don't Smoke or Use Smokeless Tobacco Smoking traditional cigarettes, electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes or vapes), or using smokeless tobacco (also called dip, snuff or chew) are some of the worst things you can do to your body. Tobacco contains an addictive chemical called "nicotine" that gives smokers a pleasant feeling. Electronic cigarettes and "vapes" also deliver nicotine. Just because these products are high-tech doesn't mean they're safe. Using ANY tobacco product damages nearly EVERY organ in your body and can cause heart disease and cancer. Using smokeless tobacco is NOT a safe alternative to smoking!
Harmful Chemicals that can be found in Smoke or Smokeless Tobacco There are thousands of chemicals found in cigarette smoke and smokeless tobacco that also found in other things: Acetone — nail polish remover Hydrogen cyanide — insecticide Methanol — antifreeze Cadmium — batteries Hydrazine — rocket fuel Toluene — paint thinner Polonium 210 — toxic radioactive chemical Formaldehyde — embalming fluid Lead — once used in paint Nitrosamines — cancer-causing substances Arsenic— once used in rat poison Propylene glycol – automobile anti- freeze
Secondhand Smoke is Dangerous Too! It is important to also avoid smokers, too! Breathing in smoke from someone else who is smoking is called secondhand smoking, and it is also hazardous for your heart and lungs too. REMEMBER: If you can smell the smoke, then the chemicals are getting into your body!
Peer Pressure and Smoking If someone wants you to try smoking or use other types of tobacco, how will you say no? Here are 6 ways to say no: 1.Be direct. If a friend asks you, "Hey, do you want a smoke?" … say, "No. I don't want to." And sound like you mean it. If you say no every time they ask, they will eventually stop asking. 2.Change the subject. If a friend asks you, "Hey, do you want a cigarette?" … say, "No, but let's go play basketball, or to a movie, or go for a walk." 3.Have a good joke or comeback line ready. If a friend says, "Come on, everyone smokes." …say, something funny like, "No thanks, I'm a big fan of breathing."
Peer Pressure and Smoking 4.Walk away. If you feel uncomfortable and don't want to say anything, you can simply walk away. It's as easy as that. 5.Blame it on something else. Use an excuse to say "no," like, "My mom wants me home now. Got to go!" or "It's not worth getting in trouble over it." 6.Avoid the situation. If you see your friends sneaking around with tobacco, you can decide to do something else besides hang out with them. It may be really hard, but if your friends don't respect your right not to smoke, try hanging out with some people who will.
Pick your favorite way to say "no" and try it out. Get comfortable saying it in front of a mirror. Or write down what you will say if you're in a situation where someone wants you to try smoking or use tobacco. Now It's Your Turn! It may seem awkward at first, but you will be prepared for how to deal with a situation that could be a lot more difficult if you aren't ready for it. Be prepared to use more than one choice if necessary.
2.Be Physically Active Regular physical activity helps keep your heart, muscles, bones, and joints healthy and strong. Physical activity can also raise self esteem, improve your mood, help you sleep better and give you more energy. The American Heart Association recommends that children and teenagers get at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity every day.

3.Eat a Heart-Healthy Diet Eating healthy foods is one of the most important ways to keep your heart and body working at its best. Starting good habits with the foods that you eat early in life is an important way to help keep our hearts and bodies healthy for the rest of our lives. Try to eat a diet that includes whole grains, fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairy products, poultry, fish, and nuts while limiting sodium, sugary foods and beverages, and red meat.
Learn to Read Nutrition Labels You can make your own decisions about which foods and beverages are best for your heart health by learning how to read food labels. A serving is the amount of food or beverage the label describes. If you eat two servings, you're getting twice the number of calories and nutrients. 1. Start here 2. Check the total calories per serving 3. Limit these nutrients 4. Get enough of these nutrients 5. Quick Guide for % Daily Value: 5% or less is low and 20% or more is high
What Can You Do to Eat Heart Healthy? 1.Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Try to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables each day. 2.Choose whole-grain foods (like whole wheat bread, oatmeal, brown rice). These foods can be a good source of dietary fiber. 3.Eat fish, especially oily fish (like salmon, trout, herring), at least twice a week. 4.Limit your intake of saturated and trans fats. 5.Limit the amount of red meat you eat and choose lean meats and skinless poultry.
6.Choose low-fat dairy products, such as skim milk or low- fat yogurt. 7.Limit your intake of beverages and foods with added sugars. 8.Learn about sodium and the common foods that have too much of it. Compare food labels and choose the foods with the least amount of sodium. 9.If you want to snack, go nuts! A serving size is a small handful or 1.5 ounces of whole nuts or 2 tablespoons of nut butter. 10.Drink water instead of sugary drinks. Try adding slices of fruit to beverages instead of sweetening with sugar. Did you know a 12-ounce soda can contain 8 teaspoons of sugar! What Can You Do to Eat Heart Healthy?
Now It's Your Turn! Write down everything you eat and drink for a few days. Identify your good habits (like choosing healthy snacks, and eating plenty of fruits and vegetables) and your bad habits (like snacking all day and drinking too many sugary drinks). What is one unhealthy eating habit you can swap for a healthy habit? Ask your parent or guardian if you can help make the grocery list and go shopping. Download the complete booklet with a Food Diary at heart.org/LS7forKids.
4.Keep a Healthy Weight As your body grows and changes through tween and teen years, gaining some weight is part of developing into a healthy young adult. Gaining too much weight at any point in your life can be dangerous to your health. A person is considered overweight or obese when they have more body fat than is considered healthy. Being overweight or obese can be dangerous for your health and it can increase your risk of serious health problems like diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, asthma or other breathing problems and even some types of cancer.
Energy In! Energy Out! Everyone needs a certain amount of calories to perform their normal daily activities. If you gained weight, that might mean that you took in more calories than your body needed and the extra calories were stored in the body as fat. If you exercise a lot, you can also gain weight as muscle. If you eat fewer calories than you use, you can lose weight. It is also important to participate in regular physical activity to help keep a healthy weight. Try to be physically active for at least 60 minutes every day. Remember, keeping a healthy weight is best achieved over time and with a decision to keep yourself healthy.
Now It's Your Turn After one week, look at your food diary and physical activity log. Ask yourself these questions: How much are you eating? Are you eating out of habit or boredom instead of real hunger? Are you getting enough physical activity? Where can you make improvements?
5.Keep Your Blood Pressure Healthy Blood pressure is a measure of how easy or difficult it is for blood to be pumped by your heart through your body. When the heart beats, the blood that is pumped throughout the body exerts pressure against the blood vessel walls. When your heart and blood vessels are healthy, the vessels are flexible enough to expand and contract. This expansion and contraction of the vessels produces the blood pressure. When blood vessels become less flexible or narrowed, the heart has to pump harder to get the blood to go through the vessels. This causes an increase in pressure in the vessels or high blood pressure.
High Blood Pressure and Your Health High blood pressure, or hypertension, is an important risk factor for heart disease, and many people do not have any symptoms when their blood pressure is high. People with high blood pressure are more likely to have a heart attack or stroke than people with normal blood pressure. You can make healthy choices that will help you control your blood pressure and keep it in a healthy range: Keeping your weight healthy Eating a heart-healthy diet with lower levels of sodium Getting enough regular physical activity
Measuring Blood Pressure Measuring your blood pressure is quick and painless. The American Heart Association recommends that all kids have yearly blood pressure measurements. Detecting high blood pressure early will improve a person's health. Your blood pressure can be measured by your doctor, school nurse, or you can check it yourself using a blood pressure machine in a local store or pharmacy. Blood pressure is measured using two numbers. The first number (systolic) represents the pressure in your blood vessels when your heart beats. The second number (diastolic) represents the pressure in your vessels when your heart rests between beats. If the measurement is 120 systolic and 80 diastolic, you would say "120 over 80" or write it as "120/80 mmHg." Talk to your pediatrician or healthcare provider to be sure you know the best number for you.
6.Keep Your Total Cholesterol Under Control Cholesterol is a waxy substance in your bloodstream and cells that is necessary for your body to function properly. Some cholesterol is important for good health, but too much cholesterol in your blood is not good for your body, your brain or your heart. When too much cholesterol circulates in the blood, it can slowly build up inside the walls of your arteries that feed blood to your heart and brain.
Cholesterol and Your Body Cholesterol combines with other substances in your blood to form "plaque," which is a thick, hard deposit that can narrow the arteries and make them less flexible, and put you at major risk for heart disease and stroke.
Keep Your Total Cholesterol Under Control Many kids and adults can have too much cholesterol in their blood without knowing it. About 25% of cholesterol comes directly from what you eat, so we have a lot of control of those numbers. Choose foods low in saturated fat and trans fats and high in whole grains. If you are 11 years old or older and have not gotten your cholesterol measured, talk to your parents — especially if your family has a history of heart disease. Consider getting your cholesterol checked the next time you visit your family doctor or health care professional.
7.Keep Your Blood Sugar Healthy When you consume foods and beverages that contain carbohydrates, the digestive system breaks down the carbohydrates into sugar for energy. Foods like whole grains, fruits and vegetables and other high-fiber foods, can take longer to digest. Foods like refined grains and foods high in added sugar are digested very quickly and are quickly delivered into the bloodstream as sugar. If your blood sugar goes high too often, it can overwork the body's ability to keep your blood sugar in healthy ranges. If this happens, you become more likely to develop diabetes.
What is Diabetes? Diabetes is a condition that causes blood sugar to rise to dangerous levels. Untreated diabetes can lead to serious medical problems, including heart disease and stroke. In diabetes, the body has problems either using or making a hormone called insulin. Insulin is important because it helps the body's cells take sugar from the blood and turn it into energy the body can use. When the body does not have enough insulin or it does not respond to the insulin, it causes too much sugar to build up in your blood, which can cause damage to your heart and other parts of your body.
Types of Diabetes There are two main types of diabetes: Type 1 diabetes means the body does not make enough insulin to function. It is the type of diabetes that occurs most often in young people, but it can also develop in adults. Type 2 diabetes happens when a person's body does not respond well to insulin. It is the type of diabetes that occurs more often in adults, but it can also develop in young people. Being overweight and not getting enough regular physical activity are two unhealthy habits that can increase the risk for developing type 2 diabetes.
Diabetes Risk Factors Once a person has type 2 diabetes, they are at risk for problems with other parts of their body too. Some of the problems they can develop are: Heart disease Stroke High blood pressure Eye damage and blindness Kidney damage Foot damage, even amputation Hearing problems
Diabetes Warning Signs If you notice any diabetes warning signs in yourself or someone else, tell a parent, teacher or doctor right away. Diabetes Warning Signs: Frequently thirsty Frequently tired Frequently hungry Blurry vision Going to the bathroom frequently Losing weight quickly If you have been told you have diabetes, make sure to take your medicine exactly as your doctor has prescribed.
Measuring Blood Sugar If you have any warning signs of diabetes, they should be checked out right away by your doctor. Controlling your blood sugar is an important part of stopping heart disease before it starts. To measure your blood sugar, you may need to get help from your family doctor or health care professional. To have your blood glucose accurately measured, you should not have any food or beverage except for water for at least four to six hours. As when measuring your cholesterol, the doctor will collect a small amount of blood in a tube and measure how much glucose is in it. Making healthy changes to your diet and getting enough physical activity can also help keep diabetes under control.
Now It's Your Turn Whether your blood pressure, cholesterol or glucose is high or normal, you can help keep your heart healthy by following the first four steps in Life's Simple 7! 1.Avoid smoking and using tobacco products 2.Be physically active every day 3.Eat a heart-healthy diet 4.Keep a healthy weight Find out if you have a family history of high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes. Talk to your family doctor or health care professional about testing your blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood glucose levels.
Life's Simple 7 for Kids Remember, you can stop heart disease before it starts. Start small and keep it simple. Make one change today and then you're ready to make another! Life's Simple 7 1.Avoid smoking and using tobacco products 2.Be physically active every day 3.Eat a heart-healthy diet 4.Keep a healthy weight 5.Keep your blood pressure healthy 6.Keep your total cholesterol healthy 7.Keep your blood sugar healthy Visit www.heart.org/LS7forKids for more information and to download the complete booklet.www.heart.org/LS7forKids

In this Weekend Update
Barbary gives some insight into the role of the ATC Coalition.
Mark McClain explains how to build a successful company culture.
Gemalto shares their second Ask the Experts webinar.
We invite you to NewCo Austin.
ATC's Role in Austin's Future
Recently, ATC announced the formation of a new subcommittee of the Board of Directors focused on policy, which we are calling the ATC Policy Coalition; and it has attracted an enormous amount of interest from across our community. We haven't abandoned our subcommittees on Capital, Talent, and Health Care tech, which will be undergoing some remodeling of their own in the coming months, but the time seemed right to jump into the world of policy.
Based on city policy decisions over the last couple of years, it has become clear that there is a growing need for a more collaborated and prescribed creation of an "innovation agenda" to reflect the thinking and needs of our growing tech industry. Certainly short term rentals and ridesharing can be pointed to as bellwethers of a city-wide attitude about tech and innovation, but I believe that is a far-too-simplistic diagnosis--the challenge runs deeper than just a couple of issues that impact Austin's tech companies directly or indirectly.
Austin is at an inflection point in its development as a powerful tech hub. A number of thought leaders have noted that as technology solutions become more a part of everyone's everyday lives (not just those of early adopters), the more regulatory concerns will become an issue for tech companies. Tech workers and tech businesses are no longer isolated concerns—we are increasingly a mainstream part of the business and social fabric of our city. Yet our years of heads-down devotion to our work has left us somewhat stranded, detached in many ways from our representative government and the broader non-tech community. For tech to assume a leadership position in defining and executing a long-term growth strategy for our region, we need to have an excellent relationship with our city, regional and state elected officials; a collaborated collective voice of the organizations and influencers in our industry; and a more integrated and articulated relationship with non-tech leaders as well. Austin has a long love affair with our creative class and the special sauce they add to the unique appeal of living here; it is up to us to share the passion and creativity that is a constant in tech with the broader community to bridge the divide. We must become evangelists for the power of tech to transform our community in a positive way that both directly and indirectly benefits all.
This is one of the very largest and longest-term tasks in front of us at the ATC; and with the ATC Policy Coalition, the list of community partners and collaborative organizations and leaders continues to grow, because we need strength and wisdom from all corners of our ecosystem to achieve our goals. Of course, we won't try to boil the entire ocean at once, and we will start by addressing immediate concerns that impact our member businesses like mobility, density, and anything that might impede our ability to attract talent and grow great companies. But the long view is about how we contribute the same sort of innovative expertise and passion that we use to build amazing tech companies to helping Austin grow into its full promise as a model of a truly smart city in every way for every citizen, because that is the best environment for all of us to thrive in.
Culture is More than Pool Tables and Breakfast Tacos
Over the years, I've seen many tech companies make a sincere effort to create what they perceive as "culture." But building a strong company culture is not just about pool tables and breakfast tacos; it's more about fostering great relationships between people and encouraging them to excel. We're honored that SailPoint was recently named a "Best Company to Work For" by the Austin Business Journal for the 9th straight year. One of the greatest challenges we wrestle with is how to maintain our culture while at the same time implementing the required processes that help us manage our growth. While we want to hold onto the energy and creativity that is typical of a "startup atmosphere," we recognize the need to become more operationally disciplined.
Our founding team has always believed that the success of our company is directly tied to what we call the "Four I's": integrity, individuals, impact and innovation. I believe that three of those – integrity, impact and individuals – are the cornerstones to establishing a strong corporate culture and maintaining our overall corporate identity. And, because they are independent of scale, they represent values that apply to large enterprises as well as a brand-new start-up.
In our early days, we were able to put together a management team of executives who understood our vision and intuitively embodied the core principles of our culture. As the company grew, we knew we would increasingly rely on our management team to maintain that high level of integrity, which we define as "delivering on the commitments we make." As a leadership team, we set the tone for the company. We know our team will be looking for evidence of how "authentic" our culture is. For instance, if we say that "work-life balance" is important, we have to carve out time to be part of activities such as company meetings, parties and volunteerism; we need to be there to celebrate milestones like birthdays and babies; and, it may even mean making it a point to NOT be the first one in or the last one out some days. Our actions regarding integrity are the key signal to the company as a whole, and we must walk the talk.
A core tenet of our culture is to always treat our team members like adults. It sounds simple, but in my experience, avoiding micromanaging or "clock watching" goes a long way toward building support and trust with employees. We strive to give our employees the tools and resources they need to be successful, then, we hold them accountable to meet their objectives, all without micromanaging. In our company, we refer to this as "measuring and rewarding results, not activity." For example, this might translate into employees leaving early to spend time with their families, and then working into the evening after their children have gone to bed. We want to create an environment where our employees want to come to work because they are respected, treated like adults and have goals they believe are attainable. A positive, fun-loving, yet accountable work environment is a key factor in keeping our team highly motivated.
A strong team is the "magic" to making a company successful over the long haul, and each team member is a key link in the chain. We try to focus on hiring the best people we can find, which really comes down to the right combination of talent, commitment and humility in each person. We've come to believe that this relentless focus on ensuring we bring in folks who embody these characteristics is even more important than having a perfect corporate strategy. A great team can, and will, adapt to whatever comes along over time, but a team mired in corporate politics will not withstand the challenges well.
As entrepreneurs, we strive to creatively solve problems, build a great company and, most important, work with talented, committed and humble people. Building a company culture is all about investing in relationships and treating people with respect. When smart people work on intriguing problems, and they enjoy coming to work each day, they can accomplish great things together AND have a lot of fun doing it.
(Mark McClain is CEO and a co-founder of Austin-based SailPoint Technologies.)
From Shipping Boxes to Delivering Software-Driven Value to Customers
Gemalto's second Ask the Experts session of the year, featuring Amy Konary, Research VP of Software Licensing and Provisioning at IDC, and Mark Seery, Sr. Director, Strategy and Corp Development at Juniper Networks. This live webinar looks at how cloud and virtualization are expediting the adoption of software business models and what this means for intelligent device vendors and software providers.
For a long time now, many product or device-oriented companies have been attempting to shift the primary focus of their business from shipping boxes to delivering positive outcomes for customers. The success of this approach typically involves a transition to new business models that rely more heavily on software to help cultivate customer relationships and future-proof business processes. This webinar focuses on strategies for using software business models and monetization approaches to successfully launch or grow innovative businesses.
Key questions answered include:
-What are the key forces driving this transformation?
-Which key business model elements must be in place?
-How are software and service supply chains fundamentally different from traditional product supply chains?
-What technology considerations should I focus on to enable this business?
-Who are the top 3 stakeholders within my organization and how should they adapt to this transformation?
For many companies in the midst of this kind of transformation, one of the biggest challenges is getting buy-in from the various internal stakeholders. Unless a company's management recognizes the new business as a growth engine that is key to its future health, it will be hard to get the support needed for a successful transition. Mark Seery talks about his company's efforts in moving from a hardware to software-centric business and his overall vision for where Juniper is heading.

Have You
Optimized Your Chamber Membership?
There is More to Just Paying Your Dues -
Improve Your Investment
The Chamber strives to provide their members with the means and opportunities to promote their business, products and services. Membership inherently provides some basic means: Business Directory listing, Chamber Office referrals, announcement & marketing material distribution, etc.
Not every member has the time or the schedule to attend meetings, seminars, and events but there are still numerous member benefits that can affordably and efficiently enable marketing your business but benefits that many members do not take advantage of.
Here are some of the ways in which you can optimize your membership with minimal time, expense and schedule conflicts:
Business Directory
Did you know that under the Business Directory you can have a logo, photo, business description, your name or contact, website URL link, phone # and email address. If you have a Specials Ad, have a link from your listing to the Ad.
Chamber Committees
Get to know more people in the Chamber and community by participating on a Chamber Committee; it creates a reciprocal result. Many committees require relatively little time and meet seasonally. The committees are a key and necessary element to the Chamber achieving their mission. So what better way to Network!
Specials Ad
Do you offer promotionals, discount offers, coupons, etc.? Supplement your ad campaigns and include your offer in a section of our website where visitors are looking specifically for Specials. Implementation is quite easy and can simply be an extension of a current external ad campaign with the same artwork. A location map & directions to your business are included on the ad page with a printable coupon. These Ads are included in your membership.
Business Guides
While we have a Business Directory, we also have on the web and in hard-copy Business Guides, such as the Restaurant Guide, Home Improvement & Repair Guide. These are primarily focused on people new to Metuchen and the Edison area. The Guides are displayed at many of our events and used by realtors. However, it is also an easy way for anyone to search a specific job area. These are included under your membership. We can use your Business Directory description or one that you prefer.
Connection Newsletter
The Newsletter is now distributed monthly and also available through our website. The Newsletter contains various articles such as description of new member businesses, ribbon cutting events, summary of our Signature (Annual Major) events, info on our established members and general info on informational articles, local activities, etc. As a Chamber member, you can provide a flyer of an upcoming event or promotional. The Newsletter is delivered at the start of each month thus ensuring timely information.
Business or Community Corner
Are their industrial or business articles that you authored and want to share with other businesses or your prospective client base? These articles can be included in either our website's Business or Community Corner section. These types of articles are ideal as subtle advertisements promoting you and your business. These article postings are included in your membership.
Business Events
The Chamber hosts many Ribbon Cuttings for new members but do you have a significant anniversary; e.g., 5 years, 10 or even 25 years to celebrate. We can turn this into a celebration and promote the event along with a ceremonial ribbon cutting.
Events Ad Sheets
The Chamber hosts many community events at which we will distribute Ad Sheet(s) with Event Day specials or merchant offers. Drive event visitors to your business on event day or at least let visitors know who you are and where you are located through the Ad.
These are a great way to promote your business as they generally take prominent placement over the other advertising opportunities described within. At some events it also enables your presence at the event through a table, booth, or simply distributed brochures, promotional items or handouts.
What's Next?
Let us help you. Determine if any of these opportunities can help in promoting your business. Many of these opportunities are included in your membership and some may have nominal fees. There are other programs also available that may be a better fit for what you are trying to accomplish. So contact us to learn more about an opportunity and to get started.
If you are considering joining the Metuchen Area Chamber of Commerce, come on in and let us discuss the benefits and help you in promoting your business.
Contact us at 732-548-2964 or email us at
firstname.lastname@example.com to learn more about how the Chamber can help you promote your business.

Jewish World Review May 7, 2014 / 7 Iyar, 5774 Next President must fill Supreme Court vacancies with true constitutionalists By Nat Hentoff
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com |
On Monday, April 28, the Supreme Court unanimously refused to hear Hedges v. Obama, a case that includes the most broadly dangerous attacks on citizens' individual constitutional liberties in our history. Not a single justice was sufficiently shocked to sign a dissent against this grim silence, and the media have been largely indifferent.
The plaintiffs brought the lawsuit in protest of sections of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that were signed into law by President Barack Obama in December 2011. Read this part of Section 1021 of the NDAA and judge for yourself if I am exaggerating the far-ranging unconstitutionality of this law:
The Armed Forces of the United States, at the behest of the president, has the power to indefinitely "detain" without trial "a person" (including any American citizen) "who was a part of or substantially supported al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners, including any person who has committed a belligerent act or has directly supported such hostilities in aid of such enemy forces."
Take note: The word "detain" is Obama's euphemism for "imprison."
John Whitehead's Rutherford Institute filed an amicus brief in a lower court on behalf of the plaintiffs in Hedges v. Obama. The brief explained how the Supreme Court abandoned our First Amendment and other constitutional rights:
"Nobody -- including the Government arguing in favor of this provision -- can define the terms 'belligerent act,' 'substantial support' and 'associated groups' with any precision ...
"Unlike the definition of 'material support' in the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act, which lists specific forms of prohibited assistance such as giving money, arms, or training to terrorist groups, the broad term 'substantial support' in the NDAA could be read to encompass an enormous range -- not only of conduct but of political speech and journalism.
"For example, would a journalist interviewing an al-Qaeda member be 'substantially supporting' al-Qaeda by giving that terrorist a media voice? What if the journalist were to ask a question or to make a comment that the Government deemed sympathetic to the interviewee? The terms of the statute could be read to penalize such press activities with indefinite detention without trial."
In fact, as this Rutherford Institute amicus brief indicated, the term "substantial support" could apply to this journalist: "Could someone protesting the detention of a terrorist held without trial, or even assisting in the legal defense effort of such a detainee, be herself (or himself) detained as providing 'substantial support' to the enemy? The terms of the statute do not answer such questions."
And what are the "associated forces" any of us are forbidden from supporting? Not that "supporting" is defined. There is no definition of it in the NDAA -- or of "belligerent."
Now dig this: During the New York district court proceedings that eventually led Hedges v. Obama to the blank wall at the Supreme Court, the judge asked the U.S. attorney representing the government which potential defendants could be subject to indefinite detention on the basis of organizations they supported. The attorney's answer was the official government position:
"I can't make specific representations as to particular plaintiffs. I can't give particular people a promise of anything."
Huh? Where in the Constitution can the government deny American citizens any knowledge of specific organizational connections, even in the course of their regular work, that could get them imprisoned indefinitely by the military and the president?
Here, then, is the path of this Chinese-style law to the Supreme Court: On Sept. 12, 2012, responding to Hedges v. Obama -- brought by, among other plaintiffs, former New York Times Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Christopher Hedges -- Judge Katherine Forrest of the Southern District Court of New York ruled that "the Constitution requires specificity -- and that specificity is absent from (Section) 1021(b)(2)."
Forrest wrote in her ruling that this part of Section 1021 "impermissibly impinges on guaranteed First Amendment rights and lacks sufficient definitional structure and protections to meet the requirements of due process."
But President Obama, of course, appealed this district court's abolition of indefinite imprisonments without trial and other due process to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, which sided with him in its ruling last summer. The court agreed that these journalists and other plaintiffs had no standing to challenge the indefinite imprisonments, ignoring the reasons already shown in this column and in the briefs to the Supreme Court, which then nonetheless decided the free speech and due process claims were not worthy of its attention.
I return to Judge Forrest, whose initial ruling speaks for all of us, now that we have been abandoned by the Supreme Court:
"The due process rights guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment require that an individual understand what conduct might subject him or her to criminal or civil penalties" that now include "indefinite military detention -- potential detention during a war on terrorism that is not expected to end in the foreseeable future, if ever."
I ask you readers: Whom will you vote for in the 2016 presidential and congressional elections who will return such of our individual constitutional liberties to us as the First and Fifth Amendments?
As James Madison and Thomas Jefferson warned us, it's up to We The People to remain free -- of both Barack Obama and the Supreme Court.

Huntsville Symphony has just completed a very busy and extremely successful week with 6 concerts and 2 programs. We performed 4 Young People's Concert and a Free Family Concert for about 4K children (most of the 4th Graders) and a few hundred adults. The latter one I like to call "Bring Your Grandma" concert, and indeed there were many families: grandkids, parents, grandparents alike. Mozart: Figaro Overture, Mendelssohn: Piano Concerto No.1, 1st Movement (played by the brilliant Sarah Han, the winner of the Guild's Concerto Competition 2017) and James Stephenson's genius "Compose Yourself" were on the program. Jim's composition introduces the orchestra, its sections and its instruments to the audience in a set of variations. Before the Finale audience members get to pick and mix 3 different melodies, harmonies and rhythms to create their very own piece of music. I highly recommend "Compose Yourself" to any orchestra interested in a stylish, clever and fun piece of music that can do what Britten's Young Persons' Guide can and more! At the Free Family Show I also did a crash course in conducting for kids who were not shy coming on stage. They got to conduct the Mozart Overture with the Huntsville Symphony.
On Saturday evening the HSO had a sold out pops show comprised entirely of John Williams soundtracks. It was a demanding and highly satisfying concert for the orchestra and drew several standing ovations from the audience. Once (tops twice) a year I agree to play the clarinet in Huntsville to benefit the Symphony. I have performed quite a few great chamber music pieces in the past couple of seasons, and also the obligate clarinet solo in a Mozart aria when my Mom was here to sing an opera gala under my baton. This time I played the clarinet solo of Viktor's Theme from the movie The Terminal. Viktor's character —played by Tom Hanks in the movie— is especially close to me. We are talking about a man from an imaginary Eastern-European country who gets stuck in an airport terminal in the US and has to manage living there for a few weeks. Considering my crazy busy traveling schedule I do feel like I live in an airport sometimes.
More great music is on the way with the Huntsville Symphony in the next couple of weeks: Mendelssohn, Richard Strauss, Offenbach and Wagner.

These Buffets are So Versatile
18 comments:
- AnonymousMarch 7, 2014 at 9:34 AM
I have to admit, I was a little nervous with what you might do with this piece because it was so beautiful before. You did a wonderful job! It's simply stunning. The nobs are the jewelry on this beautiful piece!
ReplyDeleteRepliesHello! Although I am replying to your post, this reply is really for anyone who takes some time to stop by. I appreciate your concern for what I might do with this piece. Sometimes I come across the most gorgeous pieces that are in pristine condition and they are so cheaply priced. But I pass on them, because I think they are gorgeous just the way they are. If someone else wants to 'relove' it, so be it, but my internal barometer won't allow it! :)
Additionally, if you feel that I have done an injustice to a piece, I welcome your opinion...I trust that it will be expressed in a respectful manner...One of my first post received a very negative comment about how I ruined some chairs. I totally respect their opinion and it was written respectfully, I welcome differences of opinion, sharing aha's and oops. That is what I hope this blog will be...not just for me, but for others.
So THANK YOU for taking the time to stop and by, and most especially, taking the time to comment.
You did a fantastic job on this buffet. Yes, it may have been a 1957 Drexel buffet, but it desperately needed upcycling. The colors, the knobs, the stenciling are just charming. I saw your post at Silver Pennies. Ann Marie @ Iris Abbey
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful piece!! Love the color! I also love the color of the walls, it looks like a greige. Do you mind telling me what it is?

Tinted tails
Spent Saturday afternoon on these. Lmk what you think!
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/09/04/eju5esut.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/09/04/y9uqumym.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/09/04/synapaze.jpg Just got my new suspension parts in last week. 1.5" drop coming next. |
Posted via FF Mobile
Looks good man |
Probably should do the third brake light too.
Very nice. I like them with the reverse light clear.
nice! now get a wing to finish off that rear
I'm glad you left the backup light clear, it looks better and it's significantly safer. I do agree to tint the third brake light as well. Also, I hate to be "that guy," but...NEEDZ MOAR LOW.
Edit: Just saw that you addressed this. Oops. |
what setup are you getting for a 1.5" drop man? that's what i'm looking to get eventually.
Already have an SAP front and Roush sideskirts. Once I get everything together I'll get them painted and installed. Probably sometime early next spring. Quote:
I had a choice between tinting tails or dropping it this weekend. I pulled off my tire to see how much of a PITA that rear lower control arm bolt was gonna be and I felt it start to bind up when I tried taking it out, so I screwed it back in. Decided to wait until I had a sawzall so I can cut the damn springs and remove them rather than mess with buying one or possibly two lower control arms. Drop will happen in two weeks. I'll be sure to post up pics. [wrenchin] Quote:
However, I managed to score a really nice set of H&R sport springs from another member for only $65. So I bought the FRPP dampers for $140 and am going to see how it rides. Total cost will be a little over $200. Not bad. |

If your pictures aren't good enough, then you're not getting close enough. Robert Capa
Getting close enough to one's subject(s) is difficult for most of us, and yet it's essential to making effective street photographs. For this exhibit Darkroom Gallery and juror Bruce Gilden will be looking for your ability to step into the interplay of human activity and to seize the moment.
- Juror's Choice receives a 30x48" vinyl exhibit banner featuring their image, free entry into a future exhibition, a free exhibition catalog;
- Honorable Mentions receive free exhibition catalogs and free entry in a future exhibition.
- People's Choice gains free entry into a future exhibit.
- We offer free matting and framing of accepted entries for the duration of each of our exhibition, subject to standard sizes. Photographers set their own prices if they wish to sell their work and retain all rights to their photographs.
Juror: Bruce Gilden
Bruce Gilden and his photography are inextricably linked. Hours as a child looking at tough guys on the bustling streets of Brooklyn from his second-story window shaped Gilden's attraction to his photographic subjects. Gilden is a street photographer. He is best known for his candid close-up photos of people on the streets of New York City, using a flashgun. He has had numerous books of his work published, and is the subject of the documentary film: Misery Loves Company: The Life and Death of Bruce Gilden (2007). He has worked in black & white photography most of his life, but recently has begun shooting color and digital in recent years.

I installed ICS 232 and everything went well. The only issue I'm having is after a few minutes my notification sounds stop working. Using GoSMS, a restart gets them working again but only briefly. Wiped the partion cache and that didn't seem to fix the problem. Everything is set to work with sounds on through sms and settings. Any suggestions? Btw new to forums and bionic.
i do believe you need to turn on accesibility services for it to work.....other then that download go-notification
Will give go notification a shot, don't see anything under accessability, am I missing it? Thank you for the help.
I have flashed the ICS .232 leak as well, and then put the AXIOMBeam build on top of it. The only sound issues I've had is that every now and then my sound will completely fail, then I have to go into ROM Toolbox and do a "Quick Reboot" and everything is back to normal. Kind of irritating, but bareable. Secondly, ever since I've done my flashing, I've been receiving these texts on a regular basis from a "6250" number that reads: VZWNMN:1. The numbers at the end range from '1' to '5' and I have absolutely no idea what in the hell it's all about. Has anyone else gotten these yet?

A Typo? On this site?
Aug 29, 2005 · 2 minute readWell, their are no doubt lots of typo's on this site but I'm referring to the Ruby on Rails blogging application Typo (currently version 2.5.5)
So far I have to say it's quite nice. I'm only playing at the moment – the site you are currently reading (for those of you actually on the site, and not reading the feed) is a product of my PHP skills. Some of it I like (ie. the bits I wanted to write), others I'm not too sure about and well, it doesn't do anything I cant be bothered to write. Which up until not hasn't been a problem. But I'd still quite like live searching, categories and tags and all that malarkey.
Browsing the usual supect sites the choice between using a bespoke system and an existing solution seems fairly split. John Hicks is always raving about TextPattern and saying nice things. You see lots of MovableType fans and WordPress fans but non to be fair I never really liked them. Maybe that was just me?
It might be that all, especially WordPress and MovableType are pretty mature solutions and that I like something to hack on? So a custom self built solution seems the way to go? Or does it? With everything providing very similar featuresets – and differing only in a few important areas building something bespoke means 95% redesigning and rebuilding the wheel and maybe 5% innovation. Which is cool as a learning experience but I'm now in more of a get stuff done mood of late.
I haven't decided as yet one way or the other but Typo might just be the anwser. Small enough to hack, an excuse to learn Rails and featureful to boot.

Is there anyway that I can get rid of a bad burn without surgery? (photo)
My hair caught on fire when I was four years old which was 12 years ago and I was wondering if there is anyway that I can get rid of this scar.
Doctor Answers 1
Our office specializes in scar treatment. For the burn scars, we would recommend use of Melarase creams for the pigmentation, Plato's Scar Cream for the thick areas, and fractional resurfacing for texture.
