Las Vegan George Kunz hoping to stand tall in Canton – Las Vegas Review-Journal
Posted: October 29, 2019 at 8:48 pm
George Kunz was chatting recently about his Pro Football Hall of Fame chances when it was brought up that Raiders quarterback Derek Carr was looking forward to returning to Oakland-Alameda County Stadium, now that the skin part of the baseball infield is covered by a sod toupee.
No more skinned elbows and suffocating clouds of dust.
We never put the grass in, even after baseball season, the longtime Las Vegan (38 years) said about playing offensive tackle for the old Colts on chilly windswept Sunday afternoons at Baltimores Memorial Stadium.
That should be worth at least a couple of votes from the committee.
Eight Pro Bowl berths in 10 NFL seasons he was injured during the other two should be worth many more.
But so far, they havent been enough to get the big and humble man into Cantons holy grail.
It has been written that Kunz stood shoulder pad to shoulder pad with the other great offensive tackles of the 1970s Bob Brown, Dan Dierdorf, Art Shell, Rayfield Wright, Ron Yary.
All five have been fitted for the yellow sports jacket.
George Kunz still is wearing sweater vests and golf shirts.
He was a great player with the wrong teams at the wrong time, said fellow Las Vegan Tom Mack, an 11-time Pro Bowl guard for the Los Angeles Rams who received the Canton call in 1999.
The Falcons did not go to the playoffs during Kunzs six seasons in Atlanta. The Colts were better, advancing to the postseason three times when he was their right tackle, losing twice to the Steelers and once to the Raiders, in double overtime.
If Ken Stabler overthrows Dave Casper and the Colts go on to win the Super Bowl, perhaps Kunz would have a massive jewel-encrusted ring and a size 50 XL (more like 56 XL when he played) yellow sports jacket by now.
But theres still hope.
Superclass of 2020
In 2020, the Hall of Fame will expand by 20 members instead of the usual eight to celebrate the NFLs 100th anniversary. Ten spots in this superclass will be reserved for players who have been retired for at least 25 years. Kunz is on the list, although O-linemen such as Joe Jacoby and Jimbo Covert are receiving more notice.
Laura Herlovich, former public relations director for the NBAs Utah Jazz, and local businessman Tom Humm, brother of former NFL quarterback David Humm of Las Vegas, have organized a campaign on Kunzs behalf. Rick Gosselin, a member of the Halls senior committee, is another advocate hes the one who compared Big Georges credentials to those voted in with lesser accolades.
Tom Mack is beating the drum, too.
Its a very difficult road to hoe, Mack said after serving as honorary Michigan captain at Saturdays game against Notre Dame, for which Kunz starred before becoming the second player selected in the 1969 draft behind O.J. Simpson. Youve got to have championships along the way. It took the Falcons most of 30 years before they even got anybody in the Hall of Fame.
The closest statistic you can apply (to an offensive lineman) and it really applies to guys on teams that arent any good is how often they got to play in the Pro Bowl. And George played in a bunch of em. I think the world of him. He played well against Deacon (Jones); he played well against everybody we had.
Tall Man speaks
The meeting over coffee wasnt the first time I had spoken with Kunz about the Canton snub. In 2013, he said he didnt lose sleep over it because he had other things to occupy his time. He owned eight local McDonalds franchises and became an attorney (personal injury, family law, estate planning) after selling them.
He still doesnt lose sleep over it. But if you twist his arm not advised, because at 72 he looks like he still could open a gaping hole for Joe Washington or Roosevelt Leaks to run through hell admit that swapping his sweater vest for a yellow jacket would be an honor.
The ultimate honor.
Theres a great movie called The Tall Men and Robert Ryans quote about Clark Gable was real simple: Hes what every boy thinks hes going to be when he grows up, and wishes hed been when hes an old man, George Kunz said about what the Hall of Fame means to him now.
Thats about as good as you could put it.

Finding vegan-friendly wines isn’t as easy as you’d think. Fortunately, that is changing – The Globe and Mail
Posted: at 8:48 pm
Karlo Estates, in Ontario's Prince Edward County, is the first winery to be certified by VegeCert as vegan-friendly.
When you consider any of the presumed classic food and wine pairings oysters and Chablis, Stilton cheese and Port or steak and cabernet sauvignon theyre only perfect matches if you like both sides of the equation.
If you enjoy a strict plant-based or vegan diet, all are non-starters possibly on both the food and wine sides. While it might come as a shock given its a product of grapes, wine isnt necessarily vegan-friendly.
So many people dont understand that not all wines are suitable for vegans, says Jennifer Huether, a master sommelier based in Toronto who has been taking an active interest in vegan wine pairings over the past few years.
Story continues below advertisement
Huether explains for many being vegan isnt a diet, its a lifestyle. Its not merely an issue about what they ingest, but a sincere belief that humans shouldnt exploit or harm animals in any fashion. Beyond the animal products that might be used in the clarification of wine, theres also the adhesives used in the labelling process to consider or whether animals, like horses or sheep, are employed in the vineyard work.
The principle of winemaking, having yeast convert the sugar in grape juice to alcohol, isnt a concern for vegans. The issue comes up when winemakers look to clarify or fine their finished wine to give them that clear, bright, jewel-like clarity.
Binding agents or clarifiers are used to attract suspended solids (proteins, tannins and other molecules) left over after fermentation that make the wine hazy and possibly taste bitter. The most common fining agents are derived from casein (milk protein), albumin (egg whites) or animal proteins (gelatin or isinglass, the latter being a fish by-product).
Because three of the most traditional fining agents are common allergens, you may have noticed the warning may contain milk, eggs or fish on the back label of some international wines, notably ones from Australia or New Zealand. Canadian winemakers arent required to specify which processing aids were used.
As part of her work with Toronto-based promoter and writer Priya Rao on an ongoing series of events that celebrate the art of pairing vegan wines and foods, Heuther has been actively combing what little material is available.
Just because you eat a plant-based diet, doesnt mean you dont like wine, she says. I found it fascinating that no one is really addressing this subject.
Huether says shes been looking to identify food and wine pairings that create the elevated experience that someone would experience with, say, a great bottle of Bordeaux and a lamb dish.

Were still discovering as we go, she says. With vegan dishes you have different sugar levels, spices and umami levels, its a fun challenge.
Most of successes thus far have been recipe based, but Heuther is happy to share some guiding principles for anyone looking to get the most of a vegan wine and food pairing. She and Rao are hoping to have a vegan food and wine pairing e-book compiled for the coming holiday season. More information is available at thesocialherbivore.co.
The wines recommended this week are all vegan-friendly as professed by the producers. Outside of Karlo Estate in Ontarios Prince Edward County, no governing body has confirmed these claims. Many wine producers dont use animal-derived products, but fail to mention it. If you have any concerns about how your favourite winery makes its wine, its best to get in touch and see what they have to say.

Spare me a vegan tour of the supermarket. The food will be awful – The Times

October 30 2019, 12:01am,The Times

I was hoping that veganism was a minority fad that would go away and leave me in peace with my steak frites. Alas, not. The number of vegans in the UK quadrupled between 2014 and 2018. The Vegan Society has cited research saying that vegan meals are the UKs fastest-growing takeaway choice, but then it would do that. Now Waitrose is offering store tours to help shoppers to go vegan and claiming that 13 per cent of the population is either vegetarian or vegan, although the implied equivalence annoys me. Isnt there almost as big a gulf between vegetarians and vegans as there is between vegans and carnivores?
With the exception of the odd roast chicken, most of what I eat is vegetarian. I would

Federal Bill Aims to Force Vegan Companies to Add Imitation Meat Labels – VegNews
Posted: at 8:48 pm
The Real Marketing Edible Artificials Truthfully Act of 2019 (conveniently known as The Real MEAT Act) was recently introduced to the United States House of Representatives by Roger Marshall (R-KS) and Anthony Bindisi (D-NY). The proposed federal legislation aims to limit the use of words such as meat and beef to products derived from dead animal flesh by requiring that plant-based and cell-based products are labeled with the word imitation. The bill comes after similar pieces of legislation were introduced in several states and claims that requiring such labeling would eliminate consumer confusion around food products. A growing number of fake meat products are clearly trying to mislead consumers about what theyre trying to get them to buy, Jennifer Houston, President of the National Cattlemens Beef Association, said. Consumers need to be protected from deceptive marketing practices, and cattle producers need to be able to compete on a fair, level playing field.
Jessica Almy, Director of Policy at advocacy group Good Food Institute (GFI), believes the proposed legislation is a thinly veiled attempt by the meat industry to protect its profits from growing competition. This bill is a bald-faced attempt to get the government to police food labels to benefit the conventional meat industry, not consumers, Almy said. Demand for plant-based meats is skyrocketing in all regions of the countryincluding Kansas and New York.
Sales of plant-based food grew five times faster than total food sales in the United States over the course of the 52-week period ending in April, according to a report compiled by analytics firm SPINS. The same report showed that consumers purchased $4.5 billion worth of plant-based products, with plant-based meat sales up by 10 percent in the past year. For comparison, sales of animal meat grew by only two percent during the same period.
Rather than let consumers decide the winners and losers in a free marketplace, this bill attempts to stigmatize plant-based foods by requiring that they be labeled imitation to tilt the playing field to benefit conventional meat, Almy said. We are confident that Congress will see this bill for what it isunnecessary government overreachand we do not expect it will get much traction.

Pizza Chains Around the World Increasingly Adding Vegan Options – vegconomist – the vegan business magazine
Posted: at 8:48 pm
Pizza Hut
Specialty pizza shops have long offered vegan options. This year however, especially over the past six months, several pizza chain giants have expanded their menus to make them more inclusive to vegans and vegetarians alike. Here we take a look at some of the recent vegan additions by chains and smaller companies who have increased their plantbased offerings.
Dominos has added four plant-based options to its menu in Australia. The chain claims the pies taste every bit as delicious as the genuine article, and so far, customers agree. PETA recently awarded Dominos Vegan Taco Fiesta the Best Vegan Pizza in Australia award.
Dominos offers a Hawaiian pizza, ham and cheese pie, pepperoni and supreme all featuring plant-based meats. When the campaign launched down under, 50% of all restaurants sold out of the new options within the first two weeks.
Many of the larger chains embracing the plant-based meat trend favor the two best known brands in plant meat Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods. Pizza Hut decided to take a different approach. The brand recently launched its Incogmeato pie at one location in Phoenix, AZ. If the launch goes well, customers throughout the state will soon enjoy a pie topped with Morningstar Farms Italian sausage.
The chain will serve the test pie in a new round box, which is designed to be more environmentally sustainable than the traditional square box and is said to keep the pizza hotter and fresher.
As we reported last week, UNO Pizzeria & Grill, which famously invented the deep dish pizza, launched its Love All, Feed All menu, including vegan and dairy-free options such as Beyond Meat and Daiya Vegan Mozzarella Cheese.
In June, Canadian chain Pizza Pizza rolled out its Super Plant Pizza including plant-based pepperoni from Yves Veggie Cuisine, and a plant-based chorizo crumble made by Field Roast Grain Meat Co, with the new menu items now available in all traditional Pizza Pizza restaurants across Canada.
If you live on the east coast of the US, you can find vegan pies at locations like Jules Thin Crust Pizza or The Couch Tomato Caf. Over on the west coast, LA chain Lucifers Pizza let you choose your level of spice. Others like Picazzos, an Arizona favorite, offer up options that are both vegan and gluten-free for people with various dietary restrictions.

‘Sadhvi’ Gang-raped by Four, Including Her Associates at Ashram, in Bihar – News18

Delhi: Bid to decongest 9 arterial roads to begin with AIIMS-Ashram stretch, says Kejriwal – The Indian Express
Posted: at 8:46 pm
CM Arvind Kejriwal said all roads of Delhi will be entirely redesigned as per international standards. (Express Photo: Tashi Tobgyal)
Nine arterial roads in Delhi will be redesigned to get rid of bottlenecks and to add separate lanes for non-motorised vehicles, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said Tuesday. The Delhi government project, stuck for over four years, will take off with the stretch between AIIMS and Ashram being redesigned first.
All roads of Delhi will be entirely redesigned as per international standards. We have been trying to do this for a few years now, and our hard work has paid off. Nine stretches spanning 45 km will be redesigned on a pilot basis. Work orders for one road have been given today, and will be given for two more tomorrow. For the rest, orders will be given in November. We hope to improve the condition of these roads and tackle the problem of traffic congestion by redesigning them within a year. The cost for these nine stretches will be Rs 400 crore, Kejriwal said.
After AIIMS-Ashram stretch, Vikas Marg and Narwana Road will be redesigned. While the changes include streetscaping, they will not just be about making stretches pedestrian-friendly, but will also look at the issue of bottlenecks.
Wide roads in Delhi turn into significantly narrow lanes after a few miles, and then back into wide roads, which creates a bottleneck and heavy traffic at some locations. Our priority will be to remove bottlenecks first for smooth flow of traffic and an organised lane system. Our second work would be to increase efficiency of space on the roads, so they are best utilised, he said.
Pradeep Sachdeva, the consultant for the first three projects, said geometric improvement of roads is the primary concern.
According to the new Indian Road Congress guidelines, width of car lanes can be reduced to carve out a special lane for non-motorised vehicles. We also plan to improve pedestrian access and create space for those who want to cycle. On our roads, the width of the lane keeps varying, and a road is only as good as the narrowest stretch. This has to be rectified, Sachdeva said.
The BJP, meanwhile, hit out at the project, with Rajya Sabha MP Vijay Goel saying that through these announcements, Kejriwal was accepting that he did not do anything in Delhi for five years. There is no drainage system on roads, no space to park autos and rickshaws. They are issuing tenders despite knowing they will not be able to complete the project during their term, he claimed.
The project was first mooted in 2015 and a creative team was put together for planning. The then L-G, however, did not clear the project and the team disbanded. After the SC judgment earlier this year, that said the elected government was the primary decision-maker in areas except for law and order, land, police and services, the project was revived.
