| NY calorie rule applies to cocktails
Put down that margarita, and back away from the bar. A new city regulation that requires chain restaurants to display calorie information also covers cocktails, sodas and other beverages that appear on menus. "Drinks are almost the forgotten calories," said Cathy Nonas, director of physical activity and nutrition programs for the city's Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. "It's almost a side thought to the meal." The city Board of Health voted unanimously last month to approve the regulation, a new version of a law that had been struck down by a judge last year. The law, scheduled to go into effect on March 31, applies to restaurants with more than 15 outlets across the country. That includes fast-food places such as McDonald's and sit-down chains such as Olive Garden and T.G.I.
Lanky twang
James (Jimmy) Porter was born in Royton and came to Middleton following his marriage to Norah Boyd Strongitharm, a farmer's daughter from Chadderton Heights. They set up home on Fielding Street soon becoming popular with the neighbours. They later moved to a larger house on Sherbourne Road with their four children, Ivan, John, Michael and Margaret. I met Mr Porter, while employed by Middleton Co-op, through a colleague, John Chapman. The pair of them had one thing in common - they both spoke in a broad Lancashire accent. One day in the late 1960s I observed the pair of them in deep conversation in Lancashire dialect. Was this how all Middleton folk, spoke, in days gone by? During wartime James Porter was based in Felixstowe as a sheet metal worker for the aircraft manufacturer De Havilland.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Young Jeezy Crashes Lambo! Budden To Shady? Obama Lkes ...
I was told that Terrence J and Rocsi of BET's “106 & Park: might be replaced. Now, that's what people are saying, but it might be, because a casting call allegedly went out for the show new talent. I'm going on record with this: I like Terrence J & Rocsi and I'm not really interested in seeing new people. Sure, I still love Free, but that's a lost cause. Anyway…as always, we'll see!
On the Free tip, I heard she is also working with Obama on his campaigning BUT THIS IS NOT TRUE. Just wanted to clear that up!
YOUNG JEEZY CRASHES LAMBO
Young Jeezy is one of the trap's biggest stars! But, if he doesn't learn to handle that Lambo, he's gonna be trapped behind that wheel! I don't know when this happened, but they are listing Jeezy's white Lamborghini as a fancy car that was demolished.
