Homemade Stinging Nettle Beer
Being a lover of FREE things, the idea of making beer out of a common weed sounded pretty cool, but the results have been much better than expected.
We have a long tradition of beer in this country, indeed, historically, beer was the only safe thing to drink.
I love beer, it is one of my favourite drinks so, producing something that I would enjoy was a real challenge.
sounds fun! anyone wanna try it out and let me know? DJM - I know you are a nettle lover....
Blind Traveler Asks Too Many Questions On Delayed U.S. Airways Flight, Is Dragged Off, Jailed, Told He's Faking His Blindness
they really wonder why people have begun to despise the airlines and why their profits are dropping?!
As 61-year-old Belgian interpreter Nicola Cantisani, who is blind, sat for two hours waiting in the Brussels-bound U.S. Airways jet on the tarmac at Philadephia airport in early April, he wondered why no one was telling passengers about the reasons for the take-off delay. When he requested a glass of water he was shooed away by the crew. When he tried to ask the captain exactly why there was a delay, Cantisani was asked to disembark.
When he refused to do so, he was dragged off the plane by three police officers, pinned into a wheelchair, held by the throat, lost the cane he uses to navigate, held at the airport for five hours without food, water, or access to any phone, moved to a 6' x 7' police cell at 3 a.m., questioned by a psychiatrist, and detained for 16 hours. And it was only at the end of this ordeal that the police finally believed he wasn't faking his blindness.
He has no plans ever to return to Philadelphia and, according to the Philadelphia Daily News, he remains "'beside himself' about the flight procedures, the crew and the officers who handled him."
But instead of receiving an apology from U.S. Airways and the Philly P.D., Cantisani is facing charges for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. It would appear that U.S. Airways still hasn't learned a thing from Southwest and needs to retrain its crews until they understand the difference between a true "security risk" and a frustrated passenger.
