A heads up..recall Gold Medal Unbleached All-Purpose Flour..

https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/health-news/gold-medal-unbleached-flour-recall-general-mills-recalls-120000-bags/ar-AAHoqTt?ocid=spartanntp

The voluntary recall is for bags with a "better if used by" date of September 6, 2020, according to a notice on the Food and Drug Administration website. The UPC is 000-16000-19610-0.

"The recall is being issued for the potential presence of E. coli O26 which was discovered during sampling of the five-pound bag product," General Mills said in a statement Monday. "This recall is being issued out of an abundance of care as General Mills has not received any direct consumer reports of confirmed illnesses related to this product."

No other types of Gold Medal Flour are affected by the recall.

Someone heckles the Speaker to “do your job for which you’re handsomely paid”. And he has walked out of the parliament, followed by MPs.

MPs are chanting “Shame on you!” as the Conservative benches empty.

Don't know if they are coming back..oh my....They are back!!!!!

Okay, last update..no pomp..no funny hats or robes..Speaker Bercow..saying goodby to those who were left in parliament..totally not classy by BJ allies...

So, Scotland Is Buying Into Economic Promise Again..Trump Org..

Given the Trump Organization was pressing ahead with plans for a second 18-hole golf course and had made other concessions, Archer said: “The planning service considers the potential economic benefits of the proposed development to have considerable merit.”

Debra Storr, a planning consultant who vigorously opposed Trump’s resort proposals when she was a Scottish Green party councillor in Aberdeenshire, described Archer’s position as “quite frankly, hogwash. I’m not surprised the council has shown no backbone.”
She said Trump had only won approval to build luxury villas and timeshare flats in 2008 because they were needed to pay for the major golf resort he planned, which included a five-star hotel with 450 beds, shops, a clubhouse, conference centre and golf academy. None of these are being built.


If they develop the houses, there is no incentive to deliver the resort. It is the resort which was supposed to deliver the massive economic benefit which justified trashing the dunes protected by a site of special scientific interest,” she said.

Brexit: Bill intended to block no deal to become law after being passed by House of Lords - live new

The beat on the street, or, Parliament, if you will

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2019/sep/06/brexit-boris-johnson-news-latest-eu-labour-confirms-it-will-not-vote-on-monday-night-for-early-election-live-newsbior

This is from Naomi Smith, chief executive of the anti-Brexit group Best for Britain, commenting on the Benn bill passing the Lords.

The Lords have guided Britain further away from the no-deal cliff edge towards which the PM has been stumbling blindly.
Parliament has forced Boris Johnson into a corner and his reckless Brexit strategy is in tatters. He must now uphold democratic process and formally seek this extension or face the courts.

I Honestly Think Boris Johnson Will Not Be PM For Much Longer..

He is getting confronted from all sides, for all of his antics..most recently, his use of the police as a backdrop for a political stunt..he lost three times on votes in Parliament yesterday..

The live feed of Parliament yesterday was fascinating, as well, the live journo feed today seems like a no-confidence vote may be on the horizon..MPs are forming coalitions, many MPs will not be standing up for re-election in the next election...

Your story of your grandmother, as an operator who had to sleep at the exchange

due to a blizzard...brings me to my experience during the great blackout of 1965 New England and NY..I was just coming up on the end of my shift..around 6pm..all operators required to stay..they brought in cots.. I stayed another couple hours, started shift at 9am. made my way to a gas station that had a generator..and then off to my second job at the Framingham Motor Inn - I worked the cord board.. had to hand crank the 2 position board for juice to the rooms and out going calls....people were coming in from the Mass Pike, and we were the first Inn off the highway - no one knew until later how it happened...

I will never forget that night, I got a call shortly after getting to the Inn, from my Mom's neighbor to come home, the Fire Dept was there, Mom had decided to light the fireplace, but she forgot to open the flew, and the house filled with smoke - Mom had terrible asthma, and the neighbor took her in..

Folk lore a squirrel chewed the lines..nope.

On a particularly cold November evening, power demands for heating, lighting, and cooking were pushing the electrical system to near its peak capacity. Transmission lines heading into southern Ontario were heavily loaded. The safety relay had been mis-programmed
