Notorious former Liverpool criminal Philip Glennon in row with Liverpool council over a city fruit and vegetable stall
Aug 26 2009 by Ben Schofield, ( Liverpool Daily Post )
NOTORIOUS former city criminal Philip Glennon is preparing to square up with Liverpool council – in a row over a city fruit and vegetable stall.
Mr Glennon, 72, was jailed for six and a half years in 2003 for a string of tax dodging offences.
More than £1m in British and foreign notes were found buried at his West Derby house during a raid 1997.
But now he is preparing to fight Liverpool City Council over a move to rip down a city centre market stall.
Mr Glennon’s firm, Tribune Investments, owns 108 Bold Street, where the Christian family have run a market stall for the past 18 years. But planning chiefs say the market’s metal shelter was only meant to be a temporary measure and needs to be demolished.
The businessman is trying to block the council’s efforts by appealing an enforcement order it issued last year.
Mr Glennon, of Hawthorn Grove, West Derby, said: “I owe it to the tenant – he has been there all this time and I think they’re being unfair with them.
“They’re just denying him his livelihood. If the appeal fails the business has got to close there basically. I was advised to appeal it. I’ve heard that it’s cut and dry and I’ll not win it, but what do you do in this situation?”
The Christian family is synonymous with the fruit and vegetable trade in Liverpool and has been selling on the city’s streets for more than 125 years.
The great grandmother was the famous Lizzy Christian, who had a stall by Central Station and the old ABC cinema, and whose portrait hangs in the Tate.
The J Christian, Barrow Boy stall near Clayton Square is also run by the family. They moved back to Bold Street in 2002 after being sent to Renshaw Street.
It is now in the hands of 21-year-old Liam Christian, who took over last year from his father, John, who is ill.
Permission to build a temporary structure on the site had been given provided it would be removed two years later.
Mr Glennon’s firm applied for an extension in 2004 but was rejected by the city.
He said: “A lot of cafeterias use the stall – they all buy their fruit and veg there .”
Asked if he thought the council was giving him a hard time because of his chequered past, Mr Glennon added: “It just seems very strange. Without any evidence I just can’t say.”
The Christian family is asking customers to sign a petition to show their support.
Mr Christian said: “Do we want 125 years of family business stopping? All people are talking about is healthy eating, but they’re getting us out of the city centre, it’s crazy.”

Stop blaming your family. If you want to change your body, suck it the f*ck up, drop the donut, and go on a run. If you do not want to put in the effort, you don't get the right to complain. #NoExcuses
Falling in love is easy, staying in love not so much so.
You were in love once.
There was a time in your relationship when you couldn’t wait to see your partner. When, just like Tony and Maria in West Side Story, the minutes apart seemed liked hours, and the hours like days.
And when you ...

This is how you bind a badminton racket handle. I am interested in how the beginning of the string is held in place by the subsequent wrapping of the string.
This is the finger of blame, restrained.
Whilst one finger points away from you three fingers point back at you.
I am glad I went to Sunday school....
A few days after this news story (which was completely politically motivated) it was announced that Fiddy would be allowed in. There was just too much money at stake! We're such f**kin hypocrites!
Hip-hop hold-up
Canadian Press, November 23, 2005
Immigration Minister Joe Volpe has been asked by one of his Liberal colleagues to prevent hip-hop artist 50 Cent from coming to Canada.
Born Curtis Jackson in Queen's, N.Y., 50 Cent -- or Fiddy, as he's also known -- is to launch a Canadian tour Dec. 3 in Vancouver.
But the rapper promotes gun violence, said Toronto MP Dan McTeague, who wants Mr. Volpe to turn back 50 Cent at the border. "I don't think people in Toronto or any urban centre need or want to hear Mr. Jackson's message right now."
The musician performed in Toronto in 2003, where Mr. McTeague points out there was a shooting.
"I think it's time we send a message of our own to those who glorify violence that their gratuitous violence and movies are not welcome in our country," Mr. McTeague said.
"We need to do a better job at protecting Canadians from people whose message runs counter to all of our efforts of trying to curb gun violence."
A spokesman for Mr. Volpe said last night that he was unaware of the letter. The Immigration Minister would not comment on an individual case anyway, Steven Heckbert said.
The rapper has a criminal record, and would be required to obtain a ministerial permit to enter Canada, although such permits are issued regularly, he added.
"It's permission that's granted typically about 12,000 times a year," Mr. Heckbert said.
50 Cent's Canadian tour is also scheduled to stop in Halifax, Saint John, Montreal, Quebec City, Toronto and Ottawa.
It's a bad desktop scan of a severely underexposed slide, but it's so bad that it's artsy. I kinda like the effect.
Sitting alone in the dark
Staring into the night
Her life has never ever been the same
She cries, "It's a mystery
Can anybody see it,
How much this is hurting me?
It's black magic
It's the season of the witch.....blame the moon
A pet peeve of mine with the modern railroad excursion business is that no one seems to do photo stops anymore. I suspect insurance is to blame (in its role as the bane of all fun railroad activities), but I can't be the only photographer/railfan who never rides excursions because I want to photograph them instead.
Though I would have ridden for the shop tour alone, participating in a well-managed photo run-by was a highlight of the AEM-7 Farewell Excursion. Amtrak's shown that it's possible to quickly and safely corral a few hundred railfans in and out of a train - please, give it a shot, #611!
"Blaming never helps.".
"When you plant a lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the lettuce. You look into the reasons it is not doing well. It may need more fertilizer, or more water, or less sun.You never blame the lettuce.Yet if we have problems with our friends or our family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and arguments. That is my experience. No blame, no reasoning, no arguments, just understanding. If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change.
One day in Paris, I gave a lecture about not blaming the lettuce. After the talk, I was doing walking meditation by myself, and when I turned the corner of a building, I overheard an eight-year-old girl telling her mother, "Mommy, remember to water me. I am your lettuce." I was so pleased she had understood my point completely. Then I heard her mother reply, "Yes, my daughter, and I am your lettuce also. So please don't forget to water me too." "

Really, Bellingham? The gas prices are OUR fault? You do know that "Blame Canada" wasn't a suggestion but merely a song, right?
Linda Vista Community Hospital, originally called the Santa Fe Railroad Hospital and Santa Fe Coast Lines Hospital, is a former hospital at 610-30 South St. Louis Street in Los Angeles, California, United States, in the Boyle Heights neighborhood. The hospital was built for railroad employees and was one of four employee hospitals run by the railroad Santa Fe Employees Hospital Association. The property was purchased for $5,500 and the hospital was constructed at a cost of $147,000. The hospital opened to great fanfare in 1904 and even had its own Jersey cows, chickens, and a garden to provide patients with the freshest milk, butter, eggs, poultry and vegetables. This original Moorish-style hospital building designed by Charles Whittlesey, known as the Santa Fe Coast Lines Hospital, was razed and rebuilt in 1924 in the current Mission Revival Style structure. In 1937 it was renamed the Linda Vista Community Hospital.
The Santa Fe Railroad sold the 150-bed hospital to a managed healthcare company in 1980. By the late 1970s, the railroad hospital association facilities were experiencing declining use, as more railroad workers began to use conventional medical-insurance policies. The area surrounding the hospital also became a less-affluent area and hospital funding was affected. According to a California Health Law News report, when Linda Vista tried to reduce operational expenses in response, the hospital was blamed for an increase in facility death rates. During that time, the hospital was regularly treating a fair number of gunshot wounds and stabbings from the local neighborhoods, which affected its mortality statistics. An increase in uninsured and under-insured patients forced the hospital to close its emergency services department in 1989. The quality of care at Linda Vista Community Hospital continued to decline as doctors moved to other hospitals. In 1991, the hospital ceased operations. In the decades since, it has become the center of several paranormal investigations; the most notable investigation was initiated by Ghost Adventures, where the crew stayed a full night in the hospital. Since that time, it has been used primarily as a filming location. In January 2006, the hospital was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
In 2011 the 4.2-acre Linda Vista Hospital complex was purchased by AMCAL Multi-Housing Inc. The structures on the historic registry, the main hospital and former nurses dormitory, will be renovated into the "Linda Vista Senior Apartments", and provide a total of 97 apartments for fixed-income seniors plus a medical facility. Phase I, scheduled to begin in spring 2013, will be the conversion of the dormitory building into four studio and 18 one-bedroom apartments.
For the most part today was enjoyable. I woke up with Tess, Early obviously, and hung around until Mom got home. We went bathing suit shopping, to ice cream, and then on a walk.
For some reason though, I've felt emotionally on the rocks. I looked at some facebook pictures of a friend I shouldn't have. I feel like that started it, Since I've felt down. I'm trying to figure out what might pull me out of the haze. I tried going on a walk with Tess, up to the playground. It worked to some degree, but now I'm alone in my room again and trying to decide If I should take evasive action or not. Once I get to this point in my mood, I always feel like I have such a hard time pulling myself out of it. I feel like I'm on the side of Mt. Everest and I can tell a MASSIVE snowstorm is coming my way, so I've got to get out of there. Fast.
This is an intense picture, For many reasons. I debated for a day or so if I was going to include it in the set of pictures I planned to use for my 365, but I feel as though I've uploaded worse.
Blame it on the Jazzboy .... for letting out the Thin Lizzy fever.

I think I fall to pieces
If I don't find something else to do
This sadness
Never ceases
Woman,
Still in love with you
My head
keeps on realing
I'ts got me in a crazy spin
Oh darling darling darling darling darling
Is this the end?
I'm still in love with you
You know there's people out there
and they're saying
Time has a way of healin'
And it can dry
All the tears from your eyes
Oh but darling
its this
empty feeling
And I cannot
disguise it
After all
that we've been through
me and you
I tried my best
But it's no use
but I will always
keep on lovin' you
Is this the end ....
I'm still in love with you
**** John Sykes *** playing a crack in my heart .... aaargh ...
And now
That it's all over
Woman,
There is something I think you should know
And mayby baby
You might think it over
Just one more time
before you go
Call on me baby
If there's anything
I can do for you
Call
on me baby
Help me
see it through
I'm still in love with you.

ASHBURN, Va. -- It would be wrong to blame Monday’s loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins. It would not be wrong to think he could have done more to help them win.
This wasn’t about stats: Cousins’ numbers were solid as he posted a 101.4 passer rating. But that also shows how unreliable that statistic can be, because it suggests a terrific game. That wasn’t the case as it does not factor in some missed chances.
But also keep in mind that Cousins led two scoring drives at the end of the half and the game for 10 of their 16 points. He completed nine-of-12 passes on third downs, converting five into firsts (they had five third downs where they needed at least 10 yards). Cousins didn't lift the play of others and played a rather pedestrian game, but the main issue offensively remains the running game.
Here’s a little look at his game overall:
Throw I liked: The completion to Pierre Garcon on third-and-14. For starters, the line gave him time to throw against a three-man rush. Cousins looked middle, right, middle, left and back to the middle where he saw Garcon break over the middle for a first-down catch. The throw was a little behind Garcon, but give Cousins credit for hanging in the pocket and finding him. Also liked the 23-yard gain to Garcon when Cousins hit him in stride; well-designed play cleared out the middle. There were a couple bad throws in the game, sometimes with poor footwork. But other times he kept plays alive, sliding outside or scrambling with his eyes still downfield.
Throw I almost liked: This one looked a little dangerous initially, but I credit Dallas cornerback Mo Claiborne for a good play. But Cousins nearly connected with Reed down the left seam. It was a very tight window and Reed got his hands on the ball. But Claiborne, aligned to the outside with Matt Jones in his area, cheated a little to the inside paying more attention to Reed. With Reed a favorite target, perhaps in that situation it might have been better to have a different receiving option alongside Reed, just to keep Claiborne from paying more attention to the tight end. He’s the one who knocked the ball loose.
Missed chance: This one had to bug Cousins and the coaches. On a third-and-7 in the fourth quarter, Jackson had a half-step on cornerback Brandon Carr with no safety over the top. Not sure why, but Cousins seemed to look there, but did not make the throw, instead dumping to the right for Chris Thompson and a two-yard gain, setting up a missed field goal. For those wanting more downfield throws, the Redskins did go deep on two other occasions, both incomplete, to Garcon and Jackson. Both were in one-on-one situations to the outside, and both were missed by less than a yard.
Second chance: Cousins, of course, did go back to Jackson with a perfect ball for the 28-yard touchdown. It wasn’t the same play; this time Jackson ran a go route from the No. 2 receiver position (the middle of three wideouts on the right side).Jackson released to the outside and, with the safety aligned on the left hash (where the ball had been placed), there was no help.
Missed chance, part 11: On a first-and-10 in the second quarter, Jamison Crowder was in the slot to the left. His man blitzed, leaving him solo with the safety. Crowder gains leverage and a shot was there, but Cousins threw to Jackson on that side for seven yards. They still got a field goal, but Crowder had a step.
Against tendencies: The Redskins gained 20 yards on a bootleg pass to Crowder, thanks in part to breaking tendency. They had Tom Compton at tight end and Ryan Grant at receiver. In the past two games, that has meant run on 12 of their 15 plays (and 18 out of 27 for the season), according to ESPN Stats & Information. That’s one reason both safeties were within eight yards before the snap (dropping to a single-high look afterward). Two linebackers ran with Reed as he crossed to his left, leaving a gap for Crowder, against man coverage, on the bootleg. Earlier in the half, the Redskins threw with both Grant and Compton in the game on a bootleg to the left, hitting Reed for 16 yards.
Not sure about: A third-and-17 in the first half on which Cousins looked at Reed the whole way and then threw incomplete on an out route. If Reed had caught the ball, he would have been tackled well short of a first down. On the other side, Garcon ran a deep-in and was open at the 32-yard line for a first down. Now, I don’t know if Garcon should have been part of the progression or not (not every receiver is on every play; there were three targets to the left). If not, against this coverage they might want to add him or at least peek his way.
